Several miners who had been off duty got up early in the morning, and according to the schedule, they had a whole day of rest yesterday, and took the opportunity to go around the city, and when they saw that it was late, they stayed in a small hotel, and three or four people were crammed into one room. Anyway, it's just a night's work, and they have to go to the morning shift today, and they can't be late, otherwise they will be deducted from their salaries, and they won't be able to keep their full attendance bonus. So they got up very early, after all, they were in the city, and they had to catch an early bus back to the mining area.

They came out of the hotel, looking for a breakfast shop to buy something to eat, and left, and happened to pass by a small alley. Among them, there was a sharp-eyed young miner, who seemed to be lying inside at the mouth of the alley, but the distance was relatively far, and the vision was not good at dawn, so he couldn't be sure. But he walked in curiously, and approached the figure slowly, and when he got near, the young miner finally ascertained that there was indeed a man lying there, motionless, as if asleep.

The young miner tried to scream twice, but there was no response, and he kicked the man lightly in the leg with his foot, but there was no response. He hurriedly called for his companions to help, several people together, even if there was a witness, but don't think that he brought this person down and planted it on his head.

At this time, they noticed that the man lying on the ground was very strange, because he was wearing very little, only intimate clothing.

The weather in the early spring in the north is still cold, and the night will go below zero, but this person is lying on the ground without a coat, and it is easy to freeze and get sick. Looking at his appearance, lying there, several people surrounded him and didn't react, probably because he drank too much wine.

The miners were in a hurry and didn't want to care, but the young miner kept his eyes on the man's head, and suddenly, he made a startling discovery.

Lying on the ground was a familiar face, and he crouched down and turned the man's head over with all his might. Seeing is believing, even if the young miner was prepared, he was still taken aback, that person was actually Gao Kehua, the deputy mine manager!

This was not a small shock, and the other miners also saw Gao Kehua's face, squatted down one after another, and called out to him. But Gao Kehua didn't let them sway or call, but they didn't move, and the young miner stretched out his hand nervously, probed his nose, and instantly retracted like an electric shock!

I only heard him mutter, "No, it's out of gas!"

Ten minutes later, Mei Yuanzheng, the mine manager, was washing his face and brushing his teeth at home when his mobile phone rang.

He was curious about who called him so early in the morning, probably because something was wrong, so he put the toothbrush in his mouth and connected the call from the unknown number.

Mei Yuanzheng was still brushing his teeth, but the news on the phone made his movements slowly stop.

He raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror, but he thought of another person, a brother who had followed him for many years, who had been born and died for many years, and who was dead at this moment.

Before he had time to rinse his mouth, he put down the phone, took a casual coat, wiped his face, and rushed out of the house.

Gao Kehua's death surprised both Chen Tianyu and Mei Yuanzheng, and they were both difficult to accept. For Beiting, Gao Kehua is one of the suspects involved in the coal reselling case, and they are investigating, but he died at this time, which is indeed very strange. For Mei Yuanzheng, not to mention, more than ten years ago, when he was not the mine manager, he fought side by side with Gao Kehua on the front line of the coal mine, Gao's death hit him so hard that after rushing to the scene, he was so sad and burst into tears.

The police stopped Mei Yuanzheng and did not let him see Gao Kehua's tragic situation with his own eyes, but Xu Jingnan immediately rushed to conduct an on-site investigation.

Captain Xu Jie and Chen Tianyu also came to the alley, and they had a private exchange, and they were very concerned about the case. Xu Jie said that he didn't want the death toll to break through to double digits, but not long after he finished speaking, a new deceased appeared.

Xu Jingnan investigated with the police at the scene, and the first scene that caught his eye was Gao Kehua's dress. He wore too few clothes, everyone wore warm clothes such as padded jackets and coats, but he wore underwear and shorts. On such a cold day, Gao Kehua actually wore so little outdoors, which is a doubt.

After inquiring about his body surface, Xu Jingnan found that there were no obvious scars on his body, but there was a slight scar under his neck, similar to the signs of mosquito bites.

In addition, Xu Jingnan did not find any other doubts in Gao Kehua. Like Wang Mazi and Cao Bao, he only had a small wound bitten by a butterfly, but there was a difference, because the cause of Gao Kehua's death was not immediately investigated, and he needed to be brought back for autopsy for further inquiry.

Chen Tianyu looked around, this alley was relatively hidden, and the main road was connected at one end, which was where the miners who called the police came. At the other end is a residential area in the old city, the road is relatively narrow, and Gao Kehua's body is also lying on this side. If it weren't for the miners passing by, it might have been a while, and it would have been a while before anyone passed by and found him during the rush hour.

After Xu Jie took people to visit the neighborhood, he came over and said to Chen Tianyu, "President, I just asked, at twelve o'clock last night, there were still people passing through this alley, and there was no one in it at that time, so it can be inferred that the deceased should have been killed directly from twelve o'clock to six o'clock this morning." Even if it is a murderous corpse, at least it is during this time period that the body of the deceased is placed here. But at this time, the surrounding residents were asleep, and no one said that they heard anything unusual. ”

Chen Tianyu nodded, the environment here, he has already surveyed, is indeed relatively depressed, and there are very few people.

"Captain Xu, how are the miners who called the police doing? Did you find anything?" asked Chen Tianyu.

"Oh, my people have already asked, and they're just passing through here. It was a young miner who found out, and this was the scene at that time, he felt that the people underground were wearing less clothes and did not move, and he thought that he was drunk, so he wanted to wake up, but he did not expect that it was a dead man, or an acquaintance. Xu Jie replied truthfully.

It seems that there will be no witnesses, Chen Tianyu originally thought that this case, and Cao Bao and Wang Mazi, must have happened outdoors and in the city, if anyone saw or heard something, maybe it would open a gap. But this location, indeed remote, and it happened in the middle of the night, it is understandable, no one noticed.

But his heart was full of doubts, in addition to such a cold day, going out without clothes, there was also a problem. That is, Gao Kehua, as the deputy mine manager, does not need to go down to work, Li Yiting also said that he has never seen Gao Kehua go underground, how could he be bitten by a grimace butterfly? It can't be that a butterfly flew dozens of miles from the mine and came to the city, right?
