Lu Town.
Old Zhang's car repair shop.
The shop was closed. The boss's house was not far away. Lu Xuepo made a call and the boss strolled over.
The boss looked to be in his forties. He had a cigarette in his mouth and asked Lu Xuepo, "Didn't you say you would pick up the car after the New Year? Why are you here again? "
"Boss Zhang, how's the repair?"
"It's already been repaired. Didn't I call you? You said you would pick it up in a few days."
"Great, I need to use the car today."
Boss Zhang opened the door and glanced at Li Hui and the others. "They also picked up the car with you."
"Yes, they are my friends."
Boss Zhang nodded, thinking that Lu Xuepo was going out to do something.
There was a large yard behind the shop with three cars parked there, one of which was a white Honda.
Li Hui walked over and walked around the car, carefully looking at it.
"Look, it's all repaired," Boss Zhang said.
"Boss, where did you repair the car?" Li Hui asked.
"The front bumper and brake pads."
"What about the old bumper?" Li Hui asked.
Boss Zhang thought for a moment and pointed at Lu Xuepo. "I remember on the day I repaired the car, he took the bumper after it was removed."
Li Hui looked at Lu Xuepo. "What about the old bumper?"
"This … it's useless, so I sold it as scrap."
"Where did you sell it?"
Lu Xuepo hesitated for a moment. "That day, there happened to be a scrap seller on the street, so I sold it to him. I don't know where he came from."
Li Hui nodded and said seriously, "En, that's a good reason."
Lu Xuepo said seriously, "Officer, please believe me. What I said is true."
Li Hui walked to the side and said a few words to the technical team.
Then, the technical team opened the box that they carried with them and took out a few testing tools from inside.
One of the bottles looked like some kind of spray reagent. The technical team sprayed it a few times in front of the car and there was no reaction. Then, he said to Lu Xuepo, "Open the trunk."
Lu Xuepo squeezed out a bitter smile. "There's nothing in the trunk."
"Open it," Li Hui said.
Lu Xuepo hesitated for a moment, but still followed the instructions. He walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk door.
The technician walked over and sized it up. Then, he sprayed the reagent inside the car a few times. The interior of the car immediately turned red.
"There's blood in the trunk."
Swoosh! Lu Xuepo's expression changed, and he opened his mouth wide.
"This … no … how is this possible …"
Li Hui snorted coldly. "Do you think you'll be fine after scrubbing it?"
When he checked the surveillance, Li Hui found that when the car appeared near the scene of dumping the body, the front bumper was already damaged. In other words, the scene of the collision was not near the scene of dumping the body, but the body was pulled from the scene of the collision to the scene of dumping the body.
Therefore, the place where the corpse was stored was most likely the trunk.
This also explained why Lynch could not find the location of the crime scene at the scene where the body was dumped.
…
Two days ago.
January 22nd.
At this time, although Wild Meat Fei Yan had already caused a ruckus, it did not attract enough attention. Especially since Qingdao was far from the source of the disease, many people there did not realize the seriousness of the problem.
A few days ago, Lu Xuepo received a call from his high school class monitor, inviting him to a class reunion on the 22nd at 7 pm.
Lu Xuepo agreed without hesitation.
He had not seen his classmates for a long time, and Lu Xuepo also wanted to see them, especially those who were close to him in high school. They were now all over the country and could only get together during Chinese New Year.
Also, his family had just bought a new car, and he wanted to show off that he was not worse off than others.
Lu Xuepo did not want to drink at first, but he had not seen his classmates for a year. If he did not drink, what else could he do? Especially when a female classmate raised her glass and toasted him, would he drink?
There were also a few male classmates who were close to him. After not seeing each other for a year, how could he not drink?
Helplessly, Lu Xuepo decided to drink less.
But as long as you drank one glass of wine, there would be another one.
If you drank with one classmate, and another classmate came to toast you, would you drink?
If you did not drink, you would be looking down on them.
As he drank, Lu Xuepo drank too much.
This was not a big deal, and Lu Xuepo wanted to find a substitute driver.
But when they heard that he was going to Lu Village, no one was willing to leave. There was even someone who asked him for 300 RMB.
When Lu Xuepo heard this, he felt that he might as well drive back himself. He believed in his driving skills. Furthermore, it was already the 28th of Chinese New Year, and the traffic police should be on holiday.
Lu Xuepo drove back by himself with a fluke mentality. Not long after he drove into Qingbin Road, an accident happened.
Lu Xuepo saw a shadow on the road in front of his car, but because of the alcohol, his reaction was slow. When he stepped on the brake, it was already too late.
The car hit that shadow and even rolled over it.
Lu Xuepo was covered in cold sweat and sobered up. He quickly got out of the car to check.
When he saw a person lying under the car, he was so scared that he sat on the ground. His whole body was covered in sweat, and his teeth were chattering.
Lu Xuepo was scared out of his wits and sat there for a full two minutes.
When he came back to his senses, he pulled the man out from under the car. He touched his nose, and the man was no longer breathing.
Lu Xuepo was so scared that he quickly stepped back.
In the middle of winter, the temperature at night was close to zero degrees, but Lu Xuepo was covered in cold sweat.
He took out his phone and wanted to make a call, but after hesitating, he put down his phone.
He had drunk alcohol.
Hitting someone while drinking would put him in jail.
Lu Xuepo thought about it again and again, but he still didn't dare to call the police. He moved the body to the trunk of the car and transported it to the Dew River to dump it.
For safety, he also took off the victim's coat, but after searching, he didn't find the victim's ID and mobile phone.
Lu Xuepo thought that it was dropped at the scene of the accident. He didn't dare to go back to look for it. He tied a stone to the body and threw it into the river.
When Lu Xuepo returned home, he was still in shock. His mind was still thinking about this matter. Under the stimulation of alcohol, he fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, his family asked him about the damage to the car. He even made up a lie that the car hit a tree, and he was lectured by his family.
Then, Lu Xuepo sent the car to the repair shop.
After doing all this, Lu Xuepo breathed a sigh of relief, and then recalled the previous things to see if there was anything missing.
At this time, he didn't have the anesthesia of alcohol, and he didn't panic like before. After thinking about it carefully, he really found the problem.
First, after the victim was hit by him, he immediately lost his breath. Didn't he die a little too fast?
Second, the victim was hit by a car and should have lost a lot of blood, but whether it was at the scene of the accident or in the trunk of the car, there was not much blood left.
This made Lu Xuepo a little suspicious. Could it be that he hit a dead person at that time?
But thinking about it, the body was thrown into the river by him. At that time, he drank alcohol, so he couldn't remember.
He could only hope that this matter could pass by in confusion.
Who would have thought that the police still came to his door.
At the moment when he was handcuffed, a sentence kept emerging in Lu Xuepo's mind.
Don't drive after drinking!
