276. Begin with a cat, end with a cat
Although Uncle Lao Zhang was confused again at this time, he still couldn't stop Zhang Lei's anxious mood.
Jiang Feng just came here temporarily and didn't know the reason. His colleague surnamed Sun even pulled Zhang Lei's clothes and said that he was confused again. Don't be stimulated anymore, and then ask when he wakes up.
However, at this critical moment, waiting for one more minute will be a torment.
Xiao Ran knew what Zhang Lei was thinking. If Uncle Laozang's cat really scratched Ruan He and was then killed by Ruan He immediately. Without the cat's corpse being cleaned up, there would definitely be DNA on the cat's paws. Combined with circumstantial evidence, it is the most convincing and direct evidence!
However, it is worrying that nearly two weeks have passed since the 29th. How did Uncle Laozang's cat deal with it after his death? If it is thrown directly into the trash can or thrown to some vendor who purchases fur, this result is no different from the blue for everyone who is struggling to pursue the truth.
Even if the cat corpse can be found now, judging from the performance of Uncle Lao Zhang, he has a lot of affection for his cat, otherwise he would not have been stimulated and confused when he mentioned this matter. So whether he had cleaned up after his cat died at that time? This is another worrying thing.
But now Uncle Lao Zhang is confused again. He can't say when he can wake up. Without his answer, he has no direction to look for it.
"Uncle, think about it again, where did you throw your cat away?"
Zhang Lei persevered inquiring, and seeing that the case was about to make substantial progress, he was suddenly hung here without getting up or down. This feeling of discomfort can make people collapse.
But the confused old uncle Zhang couldn't feel the anxiety in Zhang Lei's words. He just stuck his neck, spread his hands, closed them, and spread them out again, muttering and repeating: "Puchi... is dead..."
"Oh, my god!" Zhang Lei grabbed his scalp hard, feeling his head was about to explode.
Xiao Ran patted Zhang Lei on the shoulder and said calmly and firmly: "What's the hurry? Pay attention to your mentality! After so many days, you'll have an accident early. If you can find it now, you won't be in a hurry for these few hours!"
Zhang Lei nodded and took a deep breath to calm down. As for colleagues surnamed Sun and Jiang Feng, they had no idea what the case was to be investigated, and they listened in a daze throughout the whole process.
"What are the two little police officers talking about my dad's cat?" Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law was buttoning Lao Zhang's coat. When she heard the conversation between Xiao Ran and Zhang Lei, she looked up and asked.
Looking at Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law's clear eyes, Xiao Ran's heart moved and asked quickly: "Do you know?"
"Ah? Ah!"
Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment and nodded, "It's dead. That cat is extremely fierce and strange. No one except my father allowed me to touch it. Once I wanted to feed it and also grabbed me with my claws. My father fed it for several years and took it with me wherever he went. He was more timid than his son.
Then a few days ago, I saw my dad staring at the cat on the table. I saw that it was dead, with blood all over my neck and belly. I had told my dad that the cat was too weird and had to tie the rope in his hand, otherwise something would happen. Now, I must have messed up or bitten someone and killed him!"
"The cat is dead. How to deal with the body? Can it be found?" Xiao Ran said with concern.
"It's been stinking for such a long time, why are you looking for it..."
Uncle Laozang's daughter-in-law said, and saw Xiao Ran's serious expression, she quickly changed her words: "My father put the iron box in it and buried it under the road in front of the door. The old man was sweating all over, and he dug the pit so deeply..."
Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law said everything. When she heard this, Xiao Ran and Zhang Lei breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, just as long as they could find it.
So the few people followed Lao Zhang and his daughter-in-law back to their residence. Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law took care of her father-in-law and entered the house. Then she took a small shovel and pointed to the brick and stone road under the chassis of the car. "I remember burying it in this piece, you can look for it."
"Move the car away!"
Xiao Ran took the shovel, took off the recorder on his chest and handed it to Jiang Feng to continue recording. Seeing Zhang Lei retreating the car aside, he squatted down and observed the ground carefully.
Finally, I found several gaps with obvious fresh soil near the base of the wall. I think it was the place where the old bolt buried the cat.
Xiao Ran used a shovel to pry open the stones and bricks on the ground, and dig out the solid soil pressed down bit by bit. Jiang Feng held the recorder and approached the shooting. Zhang Lei also brought his bag over. While preparing, he did not forget to take a mask and put it on.
I dug down about thirty centimeters, and a somewhat deformed red paint iron box squeezed by the soil was revealed from the soil, and there was also the word "small" on the cover.
Xiao Ran put on gloves and carefully cleared the broken soil around him. After Zhang Lei put the label and took a photo, he clamped out the iron box, which was about one foot long.
The box comes out and then Zhang Lei’s business is going on. Xiao then takes a few steps back. If the cat is in the box and dies for so many days, the temperature underground is relatively high, and it is certain that it will be corrupt and smelly.
Although Xiao Ran is not afraid of this smell, as long as he is a normal person, he will definitely not like to smell this smell. Even though Xiao Ran sometimes does things that make people confused, it is all the price of being handsome, not a psychopath!
Zhang Lei took a deep breath and lifted the iron box hard. Sure enough, as soon as the box opened, a strong smell of rotten that seemed to be accumulated to the point of explosion suddenly rushed out of the inside of the iron box.
"Ouch..."
Lao Zhang's wife was looking into the box with her head. When she saw the rotten cat corpse and the mucus with foam floating on the bottom of the box, she screamed and covered her mouth and ran into the house with disgusting.
Zhang Lei was holding his breath for the time being and didn't feel anything. Although it was a bit eye-catching, Jiang Feng, who was standing next to him, was blinded by the brain, pursing his lips tightly, and the horizontal flesh on his face became more and more protruding, but he still tried hard to maintain his posture and prevent the recorder in his hand from shaking randomly.
Xiao Ran put on a mask and took the recorder. Jiang Feng jumped aside after only a few steps, took a few breaths of violence, and shouted in pain: "Grandma, why is it so smelly? It's even more serious than the rotten corpses on the scene!"
"That's sure, the concentrated ones are all essences! The box that I saved up for such a long time must be incomparable to the remains that the odor has been spreading!" What a colleague named Sun seemed to make some sense on the side.
Xiao Ran and Zhang Lei turned a deaf ear to these things. After taking pictures with labels, Zhang Lei looked at the cat's corpse, "It should not have been cleaned up."
"Go back to the team and send to the forensic department, these are their specialties."
Xiao Ran took a large physical evidence belt, wrapped the iron box and the cat corpse in it tightly, filled the pit on the road a few times, and then got on the car and returned to the team.
"We first discovered Wang Xiaomei's body because of a cat on the construction site, right?"
On the way, Zhang Lei looked at the pet cat who had passed by from time to time on the road and suddenly sighed: "If this cat really has her DNA on its paws, it really starts with a cat and ends with a cat!"
