After sorting out all the bones, Qiu Lan and Xiao Cong left the utility room, which was temporarily left in the care of police officers and colleagues from the Identification Bureau.

Not far away, the little police officer with a hurried expression ran to Xu Chengyan's side, his face serious, "Officer Xu, we have searched all the places in this abandoned building, but we haven't seen the green-eyed man you said." ”

Qiu Lan, who was frowning, overheard the policeman's words, her eyes sank, and she was indifferent.

How could there not be?

The man said that he had lived here for thirty years, how could he suddenly leave?

Could it be that he knew that the police were coming, so he ran away in advance?

But he is an important witness in this case, and he must be found!

"Xiaolan, are you done with your work?"

Suddenly, a low and magnetic sultry voice sounded, and Li Shanghan walked to her silently at some point.

"It's fine. Qiu Lan subconsciously swallowed her saliva and shook her head slightly, but her attention was still on the two people not far away, "Shang Han, do you remember that man? I just heard Officer Xu say that I didn't find him." ”

"That man?" Li Shanghan muttered, lowered his eyes thoughtfully, and secretly exuded a biting chill around him, "I remember that when the man's shadow appeared, I smelled a special smell, and that smell was a little fishy, fishy." ”

His words suddenly brought back Qiu Lan's memory, before the man appeared, her eyes had been focused on the bones, and she didn't pay attention to anything else, but she did smell something that could only be smelled at a fish stall or a reservoir.

"But how can there be a fishy smell here?" Qiu Lan lowered her eyes, her eyes fluttering, and she thought about it silently in her heart.

Suddenly, a cool evening breeze blew into the corridor, gently stirring the broken hair in her ears and breaking the memory in her mind.

"I see! There's probably a basement in this building, a basement dedicated to storing food!" she raised an eyebrow, her dark pupils drifting to reveal a clear light.

She has also lived in the Qiu family for 20 years, so she is also very familiar with everything here.

I still remember one time, Qiu Yan wanted to trouble her, and she ran down the stairs in a hurry, and accidentally ran to a storage room in the basement.

Frozen food is hidden there, including river fresh food and seafood.

Maybe that's where the fishy smell comes from.

"Tell Officer Xu about this. Li Shanghan gently took her little hand and walked forward side by side.

"Doctor Qiu. Xu Chengyan, who was busy, listened to the hurried footsteps, subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at the direction of the sound, and asked in a low voice: "Can you know the cause and time of death of that corpse?"

"The initial estimate is 30 years, and the exact time and cause of death will not be known until further testing. Qiu Lan hurriedly replied to his question and shifted her attention to the strange man, "Officer Xu, there is something I want to tell you. ”

"On that man's body, Shang Han and I both smelled a faint fishy smell, as far as I know, the storage room of the Qiu Villa is underground, I don't know if you have checked it. ”

"Underground storage room?" Xu Chengyan stopped what he was doing, his lips pursed into a straight line, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "We have checked the Qiu family's front yard villa, and there is no problem, but in this abandoned building, we have not found a basement floor." ”

"There must be. Qiu Lan bit her red lip, her eyes firm.

At the beginning, when Li Shanghan quietly came in to investigate the situation, she saw the kitchen on the first floor, and there were all the things of her biological parents here, so thirty years ago, this was probably the main building, and it was only because of that incident that Qiu Shiming replaced the main building with the current small building in the front yard.

And the two buildings were built at the same time, and it makes no sense that the annex building has a basement and the main building does not.

There is only one possibility!

The man lived in the basement, and he hid the door to the basement so the police couldn't find him.

Qiu Lan told all the speculations in her heart to the two people around her, Li Shanghan's eyes sank, and she was serious, "I'll accompany you to take a look." ”

"I'll go too. ”

On the first floor of the abandoned building, nearly ten police officers were intensively searching for information in different places, and Qiu Lan, who had a heavy expression, stood in the middle of the hall and glanced left and right, relying on the memory of the small building in the front yard to find it.

Tap the wall lightly and snort.

This wall is solid, and there is no way to have a small door to the basement, but the design of the small building in the front yard is in this place, is it different here?

Puzzled, Qiu Lan searched around carefully, but still found nothing.

At this moment, Li Shanghan, who was standing on the side with a frown, suddenly walked into a small door next to him, and his footsteps stopped at a corner inside.

"Shang Han, have you found anything?" Qiu Lan walked in with a flashlight, and carefully examined the situation in the room with sharp eyes.

"Xiao Lan, do you remember the footprints that man left in the room?" Li Shanghan frowned, and his voice was cold.

"Footprints?" Qiu Lan, who didn't know why, bit her lip lightly and shook her head blankly, "I don't remember." ”

Li Shanghan, whose face was like frost, casually dug up a grass plant growing in the corner of the wall, and looked at it carefully, "That shoe print was left by that man, there are a little mud stains on it, and there is just a leaf of this plant sticking to it." ”

"I remember that outside this ruined building, there were creepers all over the mountain, and only here can they be found. ”

Qiu Lan, who was standing on the side, instantly understood what he meant, turned around and called a few colleagues behind him, and after taking a closer look in this room, he found a hollowed-out floor.

Inside, there was a short staircase, less than a meter long, just enough for a thin adult to pass through.

For the sake of safety, the special combat team members of the special police team went down first, and then Li Shanghan escorted Qiu Lan into the small entrance.

Sure enough, this is really a cold storage!

It's just that the staircase that was originally trimmed has been destroyed, and the door has been sealed with red bricks, no wonder it was solid when it was knocked on the outside just now.

Cold air currents swirled through the airtight underground storage room, and the dreary air was mixed with a strong fishy smell.

When I looked sideways, there was a row of disemboweled grass carp hanging from the top of the cabinet next to it.

This must be the place where the mysterious man is hiding!

Well-armed special operators with live-fire submachine guns cautiously searched the cluttered basement, but the man was nowhere to be found.

Suddenly, Qiu Lan saw a large jar in the corner, which was one meter two high, and the largest one was almost one meter in diameter, which could easily accommodate an adult.

What's more, the mysterious man who locked the door was emaciated, and if he wanted to hide in that jar, it would be a breeze.
