Han Village, Sun Family.
The Sun Family's house wasn't very big and it was located in a remote location. There was even a rubbish dump beside it. Many villagers were used to dumping their rubbish there and they couldn't help but speed up when they passed by.
Because the location of the house wasn't good, Old Sun's family didn't live in the courtyard and went to live in a building.
In the past, they would only stay there for a few days during Chinese New Year. Most of the time, it was empty and waiting to be demolished.
This year, because of the epidemic, they didn't even come back for Chinese New Year. They might as well rent it out.
A black SUV stopped near the Sun Family's house. The moment the car window was lowered, they could smell a stench.
Ma Dehua pointed at the house in front. "This is Old Sun's house. Look at the big metal door. The paint is peeling. This couplet was put up two years ago."
Han Bin took a look. The door was locked from the outside.
There were four scenarios.
First, Zhu Weichao wasn't living there. The tenants were going out normally and there was no one inside.
Second, Zhu Weichao was living there and he went out.
Third, Zhu Weichao was living there and he ran away.
Fourth, Zhu Weichao was living there and he was hiding there. The door was locked from the outside to fool people.
They had to understand the situation first before they could come up with the best solution.
The situation was urgent and they didn't have time to get a search warrant. If Zhu Weichao really ran away, he shouldn't have gone far. They could catch him if they followed the clues.
Han Bin made a prompt decision. He asked Inspector Xiao to stay outside while he, Jiang Yang, and Yang Hongyi went in to investigate.
Because it was an old house, the walls on both sides of the door weren't high.
Han Bin stepped on Jiang Yang's hands and flipped over the wall. The courtyard wasn't big. It was only about thirty to forty square meters. There was no one and no movement.
Han Bin leaned on the wall and his body fell into the courtyard. He landed as lightly as he could.
After jumping onto the ground, Han Bin didn't move immediately. He quietly stood on the spot and listened. There was still no movement.
Han Bin made a hand gesture and Jiang Yang and Yang Hongyi jumped down. With Han Bin's help, the two of them landed softly and didn't make too much noise.
Usually, a raid would be conducted separately. However, this time, the police had sneaked in and they weren't worried that the suspect would run away.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, the three of them searched together.
The courtyard had a west room, three north rooms, and a latrine.
The three of them searched the toilet first, but there was no one there. The door to the south room was locked, and the glass was small, so it was impossible for anyone to enter.
The three doors of the north room were also closed. The glass was made of aluminum alloy, so people could go in and out.
Han Bin gave it a try. One of the windows wasn't locked.
Han Bin gestured for Yang Hongyi to stay outside. He gently pushed open the glass and jumped into the house with Jiang Yang.
It was a bedroom. There was still no sound in the room, and there was not much furniture. There was an instant noodle box at the head of the bed with the remaining noodle soup and two cigarette butts.
The floor was a mess. There were snack bags, ham sausage wrappers, and some mineral water bottles.
The house was filled with fast food. Han Bin felt that it was more likely that Zhu Weichao was hiding here. This made Jiang Yang even more vigilant.
Then, the two of them tiptoed out of the house. Outside was the living room, which was also a mess. There were many fast food wrappers, but they still didn't see anyone, nor did they have anything to prove their identity.
However, with Han Bin's criminal investigation experience, he could still tell that someone lived here, and it hadn't been long since they left.
In order not to destroy the scene, Han Bin and Jiang Yang jumped out of the window again.
The two north rooms were locked, and the windows were also locked. Han Bin and the other two shone the lights for a long time, but they couldn't see anyone.
Han Bin thought about it. According to the landlord, this place had been rented out for more than two months, but from the situation at the scene, it didn't seem like someone lived here. It was more like a temporary stronghold.
It was very likely that Zhu Weichao had been hiding here, and it was very likely that he had left.
Han Bin made a prompt decision. He forced his way into the other two north rooms to search, but he still didn't find anyone. These two rooms were very dusty, so it should have been a while since someone lived here.
In the end, Han Bin entered the west room. It was filled with junk and dust, so it was even more impossible for someone to live here. Similarly, there was no one hiding inside.
Yang Hongyi asked, "Team Leader Han, there's no one here. Could we have made a mistake?"
Han Bin shook his head. "It shouldn't be. The garbage in the room is all fast food wrappers, and there are cigarette butts in the room. This means that this person smoked, but there were very few cigarette butts. It matches the situation of the suspect going to Ma De's flower shop to buy cigarettes last night."
"Also, the brand of cigarettes is the same."
Jiang Yang asked, "Where did he go? Could it be that he leaked the news and ran away in advance? "
Han Bin thought about it and felt that the possibility of that was not high.
However, it was broad daylight, so the possibility of the suspect going out was not high either.
Han Bin took out his phone and was about to report the situation to Ma Jingbo when he realized that Bao Xing had called him.
Han Bin had muted his phone just now, so there was no sound.
Han Bin called Bao Xing. "What's up?"
Bao Xing's excited voice came from the phone, "Team Leader, I just checked the convenience store's surveillance and found that the man's figure is very similar to Zhu Weichao."
"We have entered the Sun family's house. There are signs of someone living here temporarily, but we didn't find the suspect," Han Bin said.
"Team Leader, could it be that Zhu Weichao has run away?!"
Han Bin said, "I'm not sure yet. Come over first and we'll talk."
After hanging up the phone, Han Bin called Ma Jingbo's number and reported the situation to him.
Ma Jingbo didn't hesitate. He asked Han Bin to guard the scene while he secretly deployed police support. The reason why he did it secretly was because he was afraid of alerting the suspect.
After all, the suspect might have gone out temporarily and could return to the Sun family at any time.
If he really wanted to wait, Han Bin could be considered to have hit the jackpot.
Han Bin made new arrangements. Director Xiao, Yang Hongyi, and Bao Xing were waiting outside.
Han Bin and Jiang Yang were waiting in the yard.
If someone suspected to be Zhu Weichao appeared, they wouldn't arrest him immediately. They would wait for Zhu Weichao to open the door and enter the yard. Then, they would catch him easily.
Of course, Han Bin wouldn't wait foolishly. He took advantage of this time and carefully searched.
With his criminal investigation experience, the scene didn't seem to be normal. It was as if it had been cleaned up. The suspect had either run away or was preparing to run away at any time.
Of course, to a certain extent, it also meant that this should be the suspect's hiding place.
Han Bin went out of the house and checked the yard. He found a pile of fresh soil in the pigsty behind the toilet. This made Han Bin more cautious.
He carefully checked every corner of the yard.
The yard was paved with red bricks, but it was already a bit worn out.
Han Bin found a few bricks that were a bit different from the surrounding bricks. He squatted down to take a closer look. He found that the bricks, which were about one square meter, had traces of being dug up. The cracks in the bricks were obviously different from the surrounding bricks.
Han Bin opened a brick to take a look. There were traces of the soil being dug up. Han Bin opened more bricks. There was also fresh soil under the ground. There were signs of it being dug up.
There was fresh soil in the pigsty. It was very likely that it was dug up from here. The ground was flat, so there must be something buried underneath.
Han Bin looked carefully and found a shovel at the foot of the wall. However, Han Bin didn't use it. Instead, he asked Bao Xing to take a military shovel from the car.
Bao Xing jumped into the yard and took turns digging with Jiang Yang.
After digging about half a meter deep, they dug out a black plastic bag. Bao Xing poked it with the shovel and shouted, "Team Leader, it can't be a corpse inside, right?"
Han Bin waved his hand. "Continue digging."
Bao Xing spat on his hand. "Continue digging."
Jiang Yang had a look of disgust. "If you keep doing this, I won't dig anymore."
Bao Xing smiled. "I'm used to it."
Bao Xing dug around the black plastic bag for a while. After digging a hole in the surrounding soil, the appearance of the black plastic bag was revealed. It looked like a curled up person.
Bao Xing was a bold person. He said calmly, "Team Leader, I'm sure that this is definitely a dead person. It looks like he hasn't been dead for long."
Han Bin took out his phone, took a photo and sent it to Ma Jingbo. Then, he called Ma Jingbo's number.
Ma Jingbo went straight to the point. "What's wrong? Did you catch Zhu Weichao? "
"Team Leader, I sent you a photo. Take a look."
"What photo?"
Han Bin said. "We dug out a black bag from the yard. It's very likely to contain a corpse. We have to call the forensics and technical team over."
Ma Jingbo quickly opened his WeChat and checked. "F * ck, Zhu killed someone again!"
"It's possible."
"This kid might have to go back to the Sun family. Wouldn't he be scared away by the forensics and technical team?"
Han Bin laughed. "Alright, do as you see fit. Anyway, I'm reporting to you."
"Wait for the news. I'll report to the team leader." Ma Jingbo hung up after he finished speaking.
Bao Xing asked, "Team Leader, do you want to open the bag?"
Han Bin said, "Wait. If you damage the relevant evidence, the people from the technical team will scold you to death."
…
Twenty minutes later, a car arrived near the Sun family's house.
Three people got out of the car and then the car drove away.
The leader of the three men was Ding Xifeng. Ma Jingbo and another person from the technical team accompanied him.
The three of them observed for a while and did not see any suspicious people. Then, they quickly approached the Sun family's house and jumped over the wall into the Sun family's yard.
Han Bin greeted, "Team Leader, Team Leader Ma, you're all here."
Ding Xifeng ignored Han Bin and walked straight to the edge of the pit. He pointed at the man from the technical team. "Li Cong, I'll leave this to you."
The technical team member named Li Cong put on his shoe covers and took a few photos around the pit. Then, he put on his gloves and jumped into the pit. He untied the plastic bag.
When the plastic bag was opened, a man's head was revealed. His face was pale and his eyes were wide open. It was very scary.
Han Bin recognized him at a glance.
Zhu Weichao!
