Chapter 60 3. The missing body

Now that one head was found, there must be other parts. A large group and the Dongcheng County police jointly searched Dongchengshan to the bottom, but found nothing. It was as if the deceased had only grown a head, and he was born without a body. The empty tomb in Dongchengshan was not the first scene of the homicide. There was no blood or traces of struggle there. It is hard to say whether it was the scene of throwing the corpse, because the suspects did not bury the corpse, but ran out with the head on their shoulders! Since the jar contains human heads, it is very important to find an "employer" who hires four rookies to dig out heads.After the image analysis police team worked all night, they found that the person who moved the jar into the Yucheng Hotel was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He did not spend the night in the hotel, and left in a hurry within ten minutes after entering the hotel.

It's almost like a worker who specializes in transporting jars. After identification, the tomb robbers identified this person as the employer who hired them to dig out the tomb. Half an hour later, they found this person in the monitoring records of the train station, and found his basic information based on his ticket purchase information. Gu Jia, male, 47 years old, antique dealer. Then the process of capturing Gu Jia was surprisingly smooth. Gu Jia bought a train ticket, but did not leave the provincial capital by car on time. He has been staying at the Xibolan Hotel.He was relieved when officers broke in to arrest him and said he had been considering turning himself in.

It turns out that the tomb robbers did not lie, they were indeed hired by Gu Jia to rob tombs in Dongchengshan Tomb.Gu Jia has some archaeological common sense, and it is not the first time to hire some ignorant young people to steal some small things from undangerous and low-value tombs with a small amount of money, and there are often some surprises. But this harvest scared him out of his wits. In any case, he couldn't figure out how such a thing could be dug up in a small tomb that he had clearly investigated.Fortunately, when he was transporting the things away, he was quite happy to see such a large and complete jar.As a result, it was transported to Yucheng Hotel and opened to take a look. Inside was a fresh human head!He was so scared that he ran away and had nightmares for several days.

"So—in fact, neither Gu Jia nor these rookie tomb robbers were the protagonists of the case that night." Li Tuzhi sat in the office of the Dongcheng County Police Station, making tea with He Yuan, the captain of the Dongcheng County Criminal Investigation Brigade. "But it's very strange. Since Gu Jia is just a thief, how can he draw a map for the tomb robbers, indicating that there are things under the tomb?" "That's a complete coincidence." He Yuan smiled and pointed to the map of his jurisdiction, "We often have this kind of misunderstanding here. You see, we are 'Dongcheng County', and the jurisdiction of Dongcheng City is next door. Our hill is called 'Dongcheng Mountain', there is also a mountain called 'Dongcheng Mountain' in Dongcheng City, the worst thing is..." He took a sip of tea, "There is no 'Dongcheng Mountain' on the navigation map, and 'Dongcheng Mountain' is marked as 'Dongcheng Mountain' on the navigation map. Urban National Geopark’, so…”

Li Tuzhi suddenly realized, "What's the altitude of that 'Dongcheng Mountain'?" He Yuan said: "It's relatively steep, with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, so when I saw the ropes in the tomb, I knew they were in the wrong place." I see!The long ropes and trekking poles are all prepared for climbing "Dongcheng Mountain". The map given by Gu Jia does not depict the Dongcheng Mountain Tomb, but the "Dongcheng Mountain Geopark Tomb"!Those rookies didn't search for "Dongcheng Mountain", so they mistook "Dongcheng Mountain" in the navigation for "Dongcheng Mountain" and drove to the top of Dongcheng Mountain in Dongcheng County.

"Are there any tombs in that geological park?" Li Tuzhi suddenly had more questions in his heart, "Even if they found the wrong land, how could Gu Jia and them hand over things smoothly..." "No burial was found in the geological park. The site was explored by Gu Jia himself. He just asked experts from the Cultural Bureau to investigate." He Yuan said, "Just now, the suspects have confessed. People’s heads, because they were too afraid to continue digging, originally Gujia asked them to dig a bigger place and dig more points. They drove the jar directly to the intersection and called Gujia to pick up the goods. So the jar was never taken Because of this, they did not look for the small cliffs drawn on Gujia's map, and they did not find that this Dongcheng Mountain is not the Dongcheng Mountain on the map. The names of these two mountains They are similar, but the location of the small cliffs is completely different." Dongcheng Mountain is a short mountain, but there are three small cliffs with a drop of 30 meters, and Dongcheng Mountain Geopark has only one small cliff, which is very close to the county road. .

"It's a mistake." Li Tuzhi sighed, "In an Oolong tomb robbery case, the head was stolen." "What does Captain Li think of that head?" He Yuan asked. "The head is very strange. There is no blood in the jar, which means that the head has been treated to some extent when it was put in." Li Tuzhi said, "The body is too rotten to recognize the face. Gu Jia said that it has not completely rotted. Then he glanced at it, and it was a young male." "Corpse dumping case?" He Yuan pondered, "Where are the other parts of the corpse?"

"I always find it strange that Gu Jia hired these people just to dig some small things, and he doesn't seem like a generous person." Li Tuzhi tapped his fingers on the table, "Those tomb robbers also He never directly admitted that the lost items in the tomb belonged to them, and Gu Jia never mentioned that he had bought them for them. Those lost items are of great value, and it is not like the equipment for tomb robbers..." He Yuan looked at Li Tuzhi, "What does Captain Li mean?" "I was wondering...could there be two groups of people in Dongchengshan tomb that night...not one group?" Li Tuzhi said, "One group is the lost rookie sent by Gu Jia, and the other One group is a murderer with a human head, and those lost items are not from Gu Jia, but..."

"The murderer's?" He Yuan blurted out. Li Tuzhi nodded, "Could it be that the murderer was throwing away the corpse, and just after he buried the head, the tomb robbers came in, so he had to abandon all his equipment and escape in the dark, but Gu Jia and his gang found the traces, so they took him The buried human head was dug up again as an antique?" He Yuan gasped, the idea was quite bold, but it could explain why the lamp was left behind in the tomb. "If the lost items were not bought by Gu Jia, then we need to find out who they belong to." He Yuan rubbed his hands, "I will provide the photos of the lost items, and I want Gu Jia to identify whether they belong to him or not." Buy equipment for rookies."

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Jia said that he did provide the rookies with some digging tools, ropes and gloves, but nothing like those in the photo. So there were indeed two groups in the tomb that night. But the other group carried such a long rope. Could it be that they were also going to climb Dongcheng Mountain and lost their way?Li Tuzhi and He Yuan looked at each other, feeling incredible. "Captain," a small police officer poked his head in from outside the door, "There is news from the geological park that the ancient tomb has not been found yet, but strange traces have been found."

When He Yuan turned around, the little police officer at the door had a weird and nervous expression, as if he had heard some ridiculous news.He looked at the little policeman strangely: "What trace?" The little police officer, surnamed Zhang, called Zhang Xiaocun, said in a tone that he didn't even believe himself: "We found traces of the helicopter." Li Tuzhi and He Yuan were stunned for a moment, and Zhang Xiaocun said again: "There is a platform on the top of the geological park, and a whole piece of grass that was blown down was found on it, as well as traces of a helicopter. There were footprints coming out of the platform and running into it." into the bushes, and then I couldn't find it." This weird head-in-a-can case actually involved a helicopter?Doesn't this mean that the case may have a big background?Maybe this is not a simple case of murder and dumping of corpses, but a strange case with extensive involvement and a large number of participants? "Helicopter?" Li Tozhi narrowed his eyes. He Yuan also asked: "Helicopter? Is there an airspace where you can fly? Didn't the radar give an alarm?" Zhang Xiaocun said dully, "I don't know." "Under that platform...is there a road?" Li Tuzhi asked. "There is no road from the top of the mountain to the viewing platform." Zhang Xiaocun said, "Because it is too steep." "How many meters is the vertical drop?" Li Tuzhi glanced at He Yuan, and He Yuan also looked over. Everyone should have the same idea. "Thirty or forty meters?" Zhang Xiaocun hesitated, "Or fifty or sixty meters? Quite high." The length of that rope is fifty meters. Dongcheng Mountain is a part of the Dongcheng Mountain Range. If you go down from the main peak, if you don’t go on the county road, you can reach Dongcheng Mountain after passing through several descending hillsides. "Maybe a group of people didn't get lost." Li Tuzhi said, "But it's too..." He just said halfway, when He Yuan's WeChat rang, He Yuan clicked to listen.I just heard someone say in WeChat, "Boss, I found that helicopter. We don't have a flight line here. The only thing allowed to take off is a police plane. There is a record of a helicopter on May 18th. It is a police helicopter transporting a critically ill patient to the hospital, and it is a police helicopter of the special police of the Provincial Department." He Yuan and Li Tuzhi looked at each other and asked in unison, "Is it our plane?" WeChat is not a phone after all, so He Yuan left in a hurry to investigate the matter. Li Tuzhi felt a deep sense of uneasiness, a special police helicopter?Stop at the top of the mountain?rope?head?The development of this case was far from what he had guessed. Reminiscent of the unexpected top-secret mission of the password team, his intuition told him that there were not so many coincidences in the world. Maybe...he really had to visit Han Jing.
