Chapter 40: Cooking the Living at Night

At three o'clock in the morning, Yan Jiamu, who was asleep, received a call from Song Xue, saying that he had committed another death in a slaughterhouse on the outskirts of the eastern suburbs of T City. Yan Jiamu didn't dare to slack off, quickly dressed and washed, and then went downstairs to pick up the car and rushed to the scene of the murder.

The person in charge of the slaughterhouse wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said to the Li Zi who interrogated him with palpitations: "My business was very good yesterday, and I didn't bother to eat a bite after a busy day. ”

Li Zi frowned, "Don't talk useless, get to the point!"

"Yes, yes......" The man wiped a handful on his head again, and continued: "I was so tired yesterday, I went to bed early after eating at night, and I am very dead when I sleep, as long as I fall asleep, I can't hear any sound." ”

Li Zi continued to ask, "Then when did you find the deceased?"

The man scratched his hair, frowning and trying to remember, "Oops, it seems like it's half past one o'clock in the morning, or maybe two o'clock." I got up to make it easier, and when I went out, I saw the light in my workshop on, and I thought maybe I was too tired to close it and pushed the door open and went in.

Li Zi pointed to the cauldron behind the man, and asked, "Is that what the scene looks like, have you ever touched the deceased?"

The man hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, how dare I! Don't look at me as a pig killer, but I'm very timid! I was scared when I saw someone boiling in this pot, and my pants were all new!"

Yan Jiamu walked in from the outside, and saw Xiao Ding leading two technicians to fish out a half-cooked person from a large cauldron, and he didn't know if it was because the soaked or boiled corpses were swollen.

Yan Jiamu frowned, "What's the situation?"

Song Xue replied: "The body was found by the owner of this slaughterhouse, he got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and passed by this workshop, saw the light on and went in to take a look, and then found that the deceased was boiled in a big pot and was dead." ”

Yan Jiamu glanced in the direction of Li Zi and asked, "This pot belongs to the slaughterhouse, such a big living person was boiled alive in his place, and he didn't hear anything?"

Song Xue nodded, "This pot is used in the slaughterhouse to remove pig hair, and the boss said that he died sleeping and didn't hear anything." ”

Yan Jiamu beckoned to Li Zi, who came over with the owner of the slaughterhouse.

"Sir, could you please recall carefully, did you see anything else besides the deceased after entering this room?"

The man turned his head to look at Li Zi and asked, "Who is this, do I have to say what he asked?"

Li Zi said: "This is the captain of our criminal police team, you can say whatever he asks you, don't hide it." ”

The man sighed twice, and hurriedly replied, "Does this wild cat count?"

Yan Jiamu wondered, "What kind of wild cat?"

The man thought for a while, and gestured with his two hands, "The hair on the whole body is black, swarthy, there is such a big one, anyway, it is much bigger than the average cat, the eyes are green, it saw me come in and barked at me twice and ran away." ”

Yan Jiamu instructed Li Zi to take the man back to the police station to make a detailed record, and then came to Huangfu Shengnan, and watched Xiao Ding and the technician put the body into a body bag and prepare to transport it away.

Yan Jiamu asked, "Cooked dead or alive?"

Huangfu Shengnan said calmly: "Cook it alive." ”

Yan Jiamu only felt a churn in his stomach, and it seemed that he was going to say goodbye to the hot pot for a while, "I remember that when Yuna disappeared, Luo Ling mentioned to me once about the six-tailed cat demon, and I plan to go and see Luo Ling in a while, and ask by the way." ”

Huangfu Luo Ling looked at him, "Do you suspect that the cat demon is doing it?"

Yan Jiamu nodded, "I'm not sure either, but just now the owner of this slaughterhouse mentioned that after he entered the scene, he only saw a black cat except for the deceased." ”

————

Huangfu Luo Ling was helping Yuna wipe her face in the bedroom, and when she heard a knock on the door outside, she hurriedly put down her towel and went out to open the door, and she was not surprised to see Yan Jiamu standing outside the door.

Yan Jiamu sat down on the sofa in the living room and looked left and right, "This house is pretty good." ”

Huangfu Luo Ling handed him a cup of coffee: "Look at your dark circles are so heavy, stay up late, drink a cup of coffee to refresh yourself." ”

Yan Jiamu took the coffee and took a sip, "I see that you are in good spirits, you really don't plan to come back to continue working?"

Huangfu Luo Ling smiled, "Did you come to me just to talk about this?"

Yan Jiamu sighed and said half-truthfully: "Luo Ling, I really miss the days when I worked with you every day, at least I don't have to make excuses to see you." ”

Huangfu Luo Ling glanced at him with disgust, "Let's get down to business!"

Yan Jiamu was helpless, so he had to smile and say: "There have been two cases in T City recently, and I suspect that the cat demon did it." ”

Huangfu Luo Ling frowned, "Cat demon, is there any basis?"

Yan Jiamu nodded, carefully explained the two cases to Huangfu Luo Ling, and then said, "I also came here to ask you, where did the six-tailed cat demon you said last time go?"

Huangfu Luo Ling looked at him with a smile, "You want to find that cat? It is sleeping in the bedroom inside, wait for me to bring it to you." ”

Yan Jiamu said suspiciously: "You're not joking with me, are you?"

"I don't have the leisure to joke with you. Huangfu Luo Ling said: "That cat demon was completely lost by the nine-tailed fox, and now it can't even transform into a human form, how can it go out to kill people." I now keep it as a pet cat, and every day in addition to eating, I sleep and become a ball. ”

Yan Jiamu thought of the scene of a fat cat moving its round and fat body and falling asleep after eating, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, "How is Yuna doing?"

Huangfu Luoling's eyes were full of loss, "I'm still sleeping, I don't know when I'll wake up." ”

Yan Jiamu pondered and said, "Haven't you thought about hiring a nanny to take care of her, or send her to a recuperation center, after all, the people there are very experienced in taking care of vegetative people, and you don't have to spend here every day and can't do anything." ”

Huangfu Luo Ling probably didn't expect him to say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then when he looked at him, his face was already obviously displeased, and even his voice was a lot colder, "She's not in a vegetative state! she's just injured and resting, she'll wake up soon!"

Yan Jiamu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, for Huangfu Luoling, Jin Yuna was like her reverse scales, let alone touchable!

"Luo Ling, you know I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried about you. ”

Huangfu Luoling's face softened, Yan Jiamu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was thinking about saying something more to ease the atmosphere, when the mobile phone in his pocket rang out inopportunely.

"Hey, what's the matter?!"

"Team Yan, another one died!"
