Chinese online short story 罪恶有痕 Traces of Sin 8 (Intermediate to Advanced)

Crime scene specialist Qin Dong and detective Zhao Kaifeng were checking on the white Jetta. Although the car had been washed clean inside out, from certain tiny traces, they were able to picture what had happened to the car owner Mr. Qi and his mistress Cui Yan …

罪恶有痕 8

 

秦东在车旁踱起步来, “既然齐友发和情妇崔雁双双失踪, 而且失踪时开的车又出现在抢劫案中, 我们是不是可以这样推测: 齐友发下班后和崔雁开车出来, 他们可能去了郊外一个有林子的地方, 把车停了, 待在车内, 又怕被路人看见, 所以齐友发就把引擎盖支起来. 树上的鸟儿就在那段时间里在引擎上做了印记.”

“引擎盖被拉起, 挡住了齐友发和崔雁的视线, 所以他们也不会注意路人. “ 赵凯峰试着把秦东的推测讲完. “他们更不会想到, 有人竟拿着枪来打劫. 从车被发现时的状况来看, 歹徒至少开了一枪. 车被抢, 再被丢弃时里里外外都清洗得干干净净. 这说明齐友发和崔雁很可能已经被害了.”

秦东沉思着点了点头,”接下来的问题是, 抛尸地点又在哪儿呢?”

“我们还没堪验过后厢吧?”被赵凯峰一提醒, 秦东忙绕过来打开后厢.

后厢和车内一样, 干净得没有任何杂物. 赵凯峰略显失望.

秦东取下一只手套, 摸了摸后厢的垫毯, “还有点湿! 看来他们用水好好清洗过.”

说着他把垫毯拉起来, 底下露出一个备用胎. 秦东重新带上手套, 在备用胎的缝隙里摸来摸去.

“你在找什么?” 赵凯峰忍不住问. 刚被分到刑警队的他, 心里还带着一些心高气傲. 对老刑警的办案方式, 他有自己的看法. 对秦东现在的举动, 他觉得是白费时间.

Traces of Sin  8

Qin Dong strolled beside the car, “Since Qi Youfa and Cui Yan were both disappeared, the car they were in also appeared again in a robbery, we could probably speculate the case like this: Qi youfa drove his car out after work with Cui Yan. They probably went to the woods in the suburb area. They parked their car and stayed in the car. Being afraid to be watched by the passersby, Qi Youfa pull up the engine over. Birds in the tree made their mark on the engine during that period.

“With the engine cover stood up, Qi Youfa and Cui Yan couldn’t see the passersby well either.” Zhao Kaifeng tried to complete Qin Dong’s speculation. “They never expected that someone could have robbed them with guns in hand. based on the condition of the car when it was found, the robbers at least had fired one shot. The car was robbed and then again got abandoned after a thorough cleanup. That means it is quite possible that Qi Youfa and Cui Yan have both been killed.

Qin Dong nodded silently,”Then the next question is, wher did they dumped the bodies?”

“We haven’t check the car trunk yet?” Reminded by Zhao Kaifeng, Qin Dong turned to the back and opened the trunk.

The trunk was as sparkly clean as the inside of the car, no single extra object was found. Zhao Kaifeng was a bit disappointed.

Qin Dong took one glove off and touched the mat in the trunk, “Still wet! I bet they did a good wash on it.”

He lifted the mat up while talking. A spare tire came to light from underneath. Qin Dong put the glove back on and reached his fingers inside the spare tire.

“What are you looking for?” Zhao Kaifeng couldn’t help but ask. A new guy in the criminal police squad, he still carried on a bit of pride and arrogance from his youth. For the methods the senior folks used in their work, he had his own opinion. He thought it was a waste of time for what Qin Dong was doing.
