Chapter 901: Case Analysis

"Wait for me." Xia Xue said to Yang Ming, "I am getting off work soon."

Yang Ming nodded. What could he do? Since the lies had already been said, he couldn't refuse it, right?

Sure enough, not long after, Yang Ming saw Deputy Captain Li, who he had seen at the hospital before, bring a few criminal policemen here to take the shift.

"Little Xia, you have worked hard!" After Deputy Captain Li got in the vehicle, he nodded to Xia Xue. "You haven't eaten yet, right?"

Although Xia Xue was already the deputy captain, because Xia Xue was younger, those who were simply the same grade as Deputy Captain Li and Xia Xue also called Xia Xue as Little Xia, which sounded more close.

"Brother Li, my friend came, and we will eat together in a while." Xia Xue pointed to Yang Ming and smiled.

"Hehe, then quickly go. It's already late. We all finished eating before we came." Deputy Captain Li looked at Yang Ming, and he was curious. Last time he met Yang Ming in the hospital, Yang Ming came with Captain Chen's family. He seemed to be Captain Chen's daughter's boyfriend. How was he associated with Xia Xue? But although he was just curious, he didn't think much about it. They might have something to talk about. Years of criminal investigation work had allowed him to develop the notion that suspecting without credible evidence was useless.

Yang Ming got off the Iveco with Xia Xue, and the cold wind hit them. Xia Xue could not help but sneeze. Song Jiang's winter nights were frigid, and ice and snow were everywhere. This northern city was probably one of the coldest cities in the country.

"Where is your car?" Xia Xue looked around. Apart from the police force's several standard police cars, the other official vehicles also belonged to the police officers. She did not see Yang Ming's car.

"There it is. It is stopped right there!" Yang Ming pointed to the Dongfeng truck parked by the side of the road not far away.

"Ah?!" Xia Xue was stunned. She incredulously looked at the oversized truck and then at Yang Ming. "Are you for real? Is that truck yours?"

"It's mine. How about it? Cool enough?" Yang Ming laughed.

"Could it be that you watched the Transformers and became obsessed? Then you got an Optimus Prime to drive..." Xia Xue was speechless. She didn't know where Yang Ming got this from.

"I was helping a friend run an errand and deliver some goods." Yang Ming no longer teased Xia Xue but answered truthfully.

"It turns out to be this case." Xia Xue nodded in realization. "But you are really busy. You even help others to deliver goods."

"It can't be helped. I can't push it off." Yang Ming will naturally not tell Xia Xue about the details of the company dispute, so he just said it in a very general way.

"I haven't sat in this truck before. It just so happens that I can try it." Xia Xue volunteered to sit in the driver's position.

"I say, can you drive this truck with your driver's license?" Yang Ming was a little worried.

"Ceh, this Miss is the deputy captain of the criminal investigation. Who dares to stop me?" Xia Xue proudly patted her chest and said, "However, you underestimated me. As the criminal police, we must be able to drive all types of vehicles. Sometimes in times of crisis, an extra skill learned means that there is an extra way to keep oneself alive!"

Yang Ming thought, Is it only you? Is it not the same as us, assassins? Of course, Yang Ming did not dare to say this to Xia Xue. His relationship with this chick was not too solid. In case she had a fallout with him, what would he do if she arrested him?

Xia Xue started the truck, and it slowly moved forward. It seemed that Xia Xue's skills were really good.

"This truck is quite easy to drive. The steering wheel has power steering," said Xia Xue.

"Xia Xue, you are not a traffic policewoman. You shouldn't be responsible for the matter just now, right?" With only the two of them left, Yang Ming didn't need to talk discreetly anymore.

Xia Xue heard Yang Ming's words and hesitated. The case could not be revealed to Yang Ming. However, why did she feel that there were a life and death relationship between Yang Ming and her? Moreover, Yang Ming also helped her uncover a big smuggling case.

"Hehe, you don't have to hide from me. That day when Uncle Chen was injured, I was there. I can guess it." Yang Ming noticed that Xia Xue hesitated, and said with a smile.

"Forget it. Since you know it, then I don't have to hide from you." Xia Xue just remembered that Yang Ming had some understanding of the case before, and then when she handled another car accident, Yang Ming was also there. So, even if she wanted to hide from Yang Ming, she couldn't. "That is the case..."

"What's the matter? Has it become so serious now?" Yang Ming saw that Xia Xue had begun to issue a leaflet, which showed that the crime rate had reached a very high number.

"En, three more happened in the past few days." Xia Xue nodded. She somewhat curiously asked, "You don't know? You haven't heard the rumors from the mouths of the people in Song Jiang?"

"I have been away for a few days, so I don't know what happened during this time." Yang Ming shook his head. "Were the three car accidents caused by the drivers seeing the ghost?"

"So you have been away!" When Xia Xue heard Yang Ming, she thought that Yang Ming was out delivering the goods for a few days, so she didn't ask further, but continued to say, "Not all of them. There was a car accident with two survivors. They were tourists from another place who came to Song Jiang. According to them, they lost their way on the road that night, and they couldn't get out even when they turned left and right. Suddenly they found a fork leading to the main road, so the driver drove directly toward the crossroad. He did not expect the car to hit something suddenly causing the passengers in the car to be knocked unconscious. When we arrived, we found that there was no fork at the road, but a stone wall. Their car had already been deformed. They were all tourists, so they were not familiar with the road. They didn't dare to drive too fast. Otherwise, their lives would have been taken in the car... By the time we arrived, the driver had disappeared!"

"Ghost hit the wall[1]?" Yang Ming was surprised and blurted out. However, after he finished speaking, he felt it was illogical, so he said, "Could it be that the people in the car saw an illusion?"

"Illusion..." As Xia Xue said this, she couldn't help but frown. "But we immediately tested the alcohol level on the two survivors, and there was no reaction. That is to say, the two were in a conscious state. And, even if a person had an illusion, it was impossible for everyone in the car to have an illusion! The three of them, including the driver, clearly saw that there was a road ahead!"

"Right, you say that the driver disappeared? Could he have abandoned the car and escaped?" When it came to the driver, Yang Ming immediately asked curiously.

"Escaped?" Xia Xue couldn't help but bitterly smile. "If he escaped, it would be okay... From the perspective of our site survey and the damage on the cab, the driver is dead. The two passengers were sitting behind, so they were lucky enough to escape!

"However, the blood had flowed like a river in the driver's seat, and his damaged visceral fragments had been found on the wiper controller. That is to say, the wiper controller was inserted into the driver's body. You say that in this case, how could the driver still be alive? Even if the driver was alive, could he abandon the car and escape?"

"Ah?" Yang Ming was shocked after listening to Xia Xue's words. Then he said, "Do you mean someone got rid of the body?"

"It should be like this..." Xia Xue nodded. "After many meetings and discussions, we decided to merge the case with the previous haunted case. Although I don't know what the suspect used to confuse the passengers in the car, there are similarities in the modus operandi.

"Moreover, the reason for the quick merger was that the driver's body was lost. This is the same as another traffic case. When we reached the scene of the accident, the driver in the car disappeared strangely. According to the degree of the car's deformation at the time, the driver should also be dead."

"This person even stole the body?" Yang Ming felt that things were more and more complicated. What is the use of stealing bodies?

"It should be like this." Xia Xue sighed. "In the beginning, we suspected that this was a smuggling organization of human organs, but that was quickly ruled out. This was because, regarding the people who died in the car accident, although their bodies were fresh, the damage of the organs was the most serious and couldn't be of any value. Moreover, the reason was denied because the other two passengers in the car were just unconscious and did not suffer any major damage. If the motive is the human organs, they could have killed the two passengers and taken their organs, but they didn't. He only wanted the body."

Yang Ming nodded thoughtfully and seemed to have grasped some clues, but because of Xia Xue's following words, Yang Ming felt lost again.

Initially, Yang Ming suddenly thought of Chen Afu, a perverted madman who liked to be a ghost to scare people. If it was purely pretending to be a ghost to scare people, Chen Afu might do it. However, it didn't seem that Chen Afu would steal the body after it was scared to death. Chen Afu's current job appeared to be a hotel waiter. He had no use for the body, not to mention the process of carrying a body was something easily discovered.

"From what you're saying, can you also say that the body is not missing every time?" asked Yang Ming.

"This is the case, but even then, it can still be merged. This is because there were cases where the bodies were not missing after the accident. After the accident, someone quickly reported it, and we rushed to the scene. Furthermore, there were other cases of missing bodies because someone only reported them after a long time, and only then did we rush over." Xia Xue said, "So we decided that the previous bodies were not lost because the suspect did not have the time to commit the crime."

"That is to say, the person who committed the crime did not immediately move the body after committing the crime?" After Yang Ming listened, he suddenly asked, "Could there only be one suspect that committed the crime? Could it be that the person who stole the body, and the one who pretended to be a ghost are two different people?"
