That day, there was a light rain in the sky, and the raindrops wet everything in the back mountain, soaked the soil, and wet Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue's clothes.

On that day, the young Xiao Yueyue held a black umbrella and stood behind a man with long white hair kneeling in the muddy ground, listening to what the man was muttering in pieces, Xu Lang's voice was inaudible, and even Xiao Yueyue, who was standing beside him, didn't hear Xu Lang muttering something.

Many years later, Xiao Yueyue has grown up, and every time she thinks of that scene, she can't help but feel palpitations, because she has never seen such a fragile father, such a bitter father who can only swallow everything into her stomach.

After the ancestor worship was completed, Xu Lang's whole body was soaked, and the clean clothes were already dirty, he stretched out his hand, held Xiao Yueyue's hand, and held the umbrella with the other hand, and took Xiao Yueyue down the mountain, on the way back, Xu Lang didn't say a word, just blindly silent, Xiao Yueyue found that Xu Lang's eyes were red, as if he had cried, but she knew that Xu Lang was not crying at that time, or rather, he was crying silently when he was worshipping his ancestors.

After going down the mountain, Xu Lang took Xiao Yueyue to Ye's mother's house, left a sum of money for Ye's mother, and many gifts, and then, in the afternoon of the same day, Xu Lang drove away from Zhangjiazhuang with Xiao Yueyue.

Before leaving, Xu Lang looked at the house that had already been burned, Xu Lang looked at it for a long time, didn't say anything, and drove away.

After returning to the city, after Xu Lang took care of Xiao Yueyue, he went to the study alone and stayed until dawn.

The next day, Xu Lang didn't sleep all night, he still prepared breakfast for Xiao Yueyue early, called Xiao Yueyue to wake up, wash and eat, and then go to school.

Just as they were eating breakfast, the doorbell rang, Xu Lang was a little puzzled, so he asked Xiao Yueyue to continue eating, while he went to open the door.

After opening the door, Xu Lang found that there was a courier standing at the door, he was holding a package in his hand, and said to Xu Lang, "Xu Lang is it"

Xu Lang looked at the courier brother, then looked at the package in his hand, subconsciously frowned, nodded, and said, "I'm Xu Lang." ”

"Here's one of your couriers, please sign for it."

After saying this, the courier brother handed the package to Xu Lang, and then handed Xu Lang a list.

Xu Lang took the pen and signed his name on the courier list, and after returning the pen to the courier brother, he asked, "What is in this?"

After the courier brother put the list away, he shook his head at Xu Lang with a smile and said, "I'm just a courier, and I don't know what's in the courier." ”

"Then do you know who sent it," Xu Lang asked.

The courier brother shook his head and said, "There are above, you can see for yourself, I have other couriers to send." ”

After saying this, the courier brother turned around and left.

Xu Lang stood at the door, holding the package, looked down, and found that the name of the consignee on it was indeed himself, and the address was also here, however, the sender's address and name were not there, which made Xu Lang feel very surprised.

Closing the door, Xu Lang returned to the living room with a suspicious courier, he found a utility knife to open the outer packaging of the package, revealing a box inside, the box is not big, only the size of a book, and it is made of wood, Xu Lang looked at the wood, you can smell the fresh wood fragrance, and there is no label on the box, Xu Lang hesitated, and opened the box, the moment the box was opened, Xu Lang smelled the smell of formalin, and there was a smell of corpses, and Xu Lang saw the contents of the box, and immediately covered the box.

"Who was it just now" Xiao Yueyue had already finished breakfast at this time, wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, walked towards the living room, and asked,

Xu Lang's face was very ugly and dignified, but after hearing Xiao Yueyue's voice, Xu Lang quickly turned his head and said to Xiao Yueyue with a smile, "Oh, no one, it's just a courier." ”

"Courier"

Xiao Yueyue walked to the living room, threw the napkin into the trash, glanced at Xu Lang, then looked at the box in Xu Lang's hand, frowned and asked, "When did you start shopping online and buy something?"

Xu Lang smiled reluctantly, and said perfunctorily, "Oh, it would have been a long time ago, and I didn't buy anything, just some personal items, I was usually busy with work and didn't have time to go shopping, so I bought it online, which is convenient and fast." ”

"Personal Belongings"

Xiao Yueyue sniffled and smelled a strange smell, she looked at Xu Lang with a puzzled expression, and asked, "What did you buy, why does it smell strange?"

Xu Lang smiled awkwardly, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing." ”

When Xiao Yueyue saw Xu Lang's expression, she became more and more curious, and just when she was about to come over to take a look, Xu Lang suddenly shouted "Ah"

Xiao Yueyue was startled by Xu Lang's sudden shout, she quickly stopped, looked at Xu Lang with a puzzled face and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's half past seven, and you're going to be late for school."

Hearing Xu Lang say this, Xiao Yueyue immediately raised her head and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, sure enough, it was already seven thirty-one, she hurriedly turned around and ran towards the bedroom, shouting as she ran, "It's all your fault, why didn't you call me earlier, hurry up, send me to school, I'm going to be late." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yueyue went to the bedroom, Xu Lang hurriedly wrapped the box simply, put it on the table, got up and walked towards the door, ran out of the bedroom with a small schoolbag in a panic, left the house, and drove Xiao Yueyue to school.

Along the way, Xiao Yueyue

He kept complaining, "It's all your fault, why didn't you wake me up earlier, you see you're going to be late, I've never been late, if I'm late this time, I'll settle accounts with you." ”

Xu Lang could only accompany the smiling face, saying that he blamed himself.

Along the way, Xu Lang sent Xiao Yueyue to school at a gallop, but fortunately, when Xiao Yueyue entered the school, she was not late.

When he sent Xiao Yueyue to school, the smile on Xu Lang's face disappeared immediately, and he drove back to his house immediately, looking at the box on the coffee table, his face was very ugly.

Xu Lang never buys online, what he needs is to go to the supermarket or shopping mall to buy, or to go to the store to buy, so Xu Lang has almost no express delivery, and the express delivery that Xu Lang received in the morning is not something that Xu Lang bought online, and the box is not anything, but a hand, a human hand.

Xu Lang opened the box again, and saw a human hand that had been white and bloodless, the five fingers of the human hand were slightly open, the hand was neatly cut off from the wrist, the wound was very smooth, and it should have been cut off by some sharp weapon.

Who gave him a hand, who is the owner of this hand, and has he been killed?

Xu Lang was full of doubts, and what shocked Xu Lang even more was that there was not a trace of blood flowing out of the wound of this human hand, and Xu Lang did not smell blood, the position of the wound was the same as the palm part, very white, it should have been specially treated.

In addition, there was another detail that caught Xu Lang's attention, he found that the fingerprints of the five fingers of this kind of human hand were gone, and the epidermis of the place with the fingerprints had been peeled off, revealing Bai Sensen's tender flesh, which looked particularly scary.

Looking at the people in the box, Xu Lang did not hesitate at all, immediately took the box out of the door, and drove downstairs to CY.

When Xu Lang came to CY, he found that everyone in CY was not very busy, Luo Jiayan was sitting in the seat eating snacks, her mouth kept squirming, and Fan Yang was still dressed so sexy, where was she putting on makeup in front of a mirror at the workstation, and Lu Xing was sitting in front of the computer, looking at something intently, when Xu Lang came, he didn't notice, while Lai Pi was sitting in his position, reading a book, reading a magazine about the military, as for Ding Haoqiong and Qin Mingyue, they were drinking a cup of coffee.

When they saw Xu Lang walking in with a box, everyone raised their heads and looked at Xu Lang, Luo Jiayan stood up from her position, ran to Xu Lang, and asked, "Brother Lang, how did you go to the countryside this time, did you bring us anything delicious?"

After saying this, she took the box from Xu Lang's hand and couldn't wait to open the box, and when the others saw this scene, they would also smile, they were already accustomed to the fact that Luo Jiayan, the little Lori, was a foodie, and for foodies, there was nothing more attractive to them than food.

However, after Luo Jiayan opened the box and saw the contents of the box, she let out an exclamation and almost threw the box in her hand, but she still didn't do it in the end.

"Ahh

Hearing Luo Jiayan's exclamation, everyone looked at Luo Jiayan one after another, Ding Haoqiong and Qin Mingyue glanced at each other, then looked at Luo Jiayan, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, isn't the food that Brother Lang brought you a little heavy?"

"Haha"

Hearing Ding Haoqiong ridicule Luo Jiayan like this, everyone else burst out laughing.

"Brother Lang, what is in this, how can you have this?"

Luo Jiayan ignored Ding Haoqiong's quipping, she raised her head, looked at Xu Lang with a somewhat pale face, and asked in surprise.

Everyone who was laughing just now noticed that something was wrong when they heard Luo Jiayan's words, because Luo Jiayan's expression told them that the box was definitely not filled with food, and when they turned their heads to look at Xu Lang, they found that Xu Lang's face was also very ugly, and it seemed that the things in the box were not simple.

"Manpower." Xu Lang said slowly.

"What kind of manpower, are you sure this is not a handicraft," Luo Jiayan looked at Xu Lang incredulously.

Xu Lang looked at Luo Jiayan and asked, "Can't you even smell the smell of corpses?"

Hearing the conversation between Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan, Ding Haoqiong and Qin Mingyue immediately put down the coffee cup in their hands and walked quickly to Luo Jiayan's side, just as Ding Haoqiong was about to reach out to get the box, Qin Mingyue stopped Ding Haoqiong.

Ding Haoqiong turned his head and looked at Qin Mingyue with a puzzled expression.

Qin Mingyue didn't go to see Ding Haoqiong, but took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and put them on, and said lightly, "Gloves, if you take it like this, you will leave fingerprints." ”

After saying this, Qin Mingyue took the box from Luo Jiayan's hand, he took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then picked up the hand as if no one was around, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, sniffed again, and sniffed.

The others also put down their work one after another, stood up, and gathered around, looking at the human hand in Qin Mingyue's hand, waiting for Qin Mingyue's judgment result.

Qin Mingyue observed it for a long time with a human hand before he said slowly, "This is indeed a human hand. ”

"Ah, it's really a human hand."

Luo Jiayan exclaimed, raised her head, and looked at Xu Lang.

The others also turned their heads to look at Xu Lang, the box was brought by Xu Lang, and the human hand was in the box, so it was naturally impossible for them to suspect that this human hand was cut by Xu Lang, Xu Lang would not do that, and it was impossible to do that, but how did the box come about

, what is going on with the manpower in the box, only Xu Lang knows best.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Xu Lang handed Fan Yang a courier bag in his hand and said, "In the morning, someone sent me a courier, and after I opened it, I found that it contained a human hand. ”

Fan Yang took the things handed over by Xu Lang, looked at them carefully, and then frowned and said, "Why don't you have the sender's name and address?"

Xu Lang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

At this time, Qin Mingyue spoke again and said, "This is the right hand of an adult male, the hand has been specially treated, soaked in formalin for a period of time, the blood and water in the palm have been lost, according to the preliminary judgment, this hand has been cut off for at least two weeks, however, the specific time needs to be determined by further autopsy." ”

"Then hurry up and collect fingerprints and find the owner of this hand." Luo Jiayan said.

Qin Mingyue shook her head and said, "This method may not work. ”

"Why," Luo Jiayan asked puzzled.

Qin Mingyue glanced at Luo Jiayan and said, "The fingerprints of this hand have been taken away. ”

"How is it possible that fingerprints have been taken away." Luo Jiayan became more and more puzzled.

"Look."

Qin Mingyue's hand was facing everyone, and at this time, Luo Jiayan and the others found out that this hand had not only been specially treated, and no blood flowed out, but also the skin of the fingertips of the five fingers had been peeled off, and fingerprints could not be collected at all.

"Who would send you this kind of thing, what does he want to do" Ding Haoqiong looked at the manpower, then turned his head to look at Xu Lang and asked.

The others also turned their heads to look at Xu Lang, who shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”

"Could it be that this is a provocation to the police, and a challenge to you," Ding Haoqiong guessed.

After hearing Ding Haoqiong's speculation, others also nodded their heads and agreed with Ding Haoqiong's speculation.

Xu Lang still shook his head, he was also very curious, who sent this human hand to him, what was the purpose of provocation or war letter, and who was the owner of this human hand, whether he was still alive, if he was alive, where was he now, in the hospital or somewhere else, these questions lingered in everyone's hearts.

Xu Lang thought for a while and said, "Forensic Doctor Qin, you immediately conduct an autopsy on this human hand and find a way to determine the identity of the owner of the human hand." ”

Qin Mingyue nodded, turned around with his hands and went to the forensic autopsy room.

After Qin Mingyue left, Xu Lang said to Luo Jiayan, "You immediately contact the comrades of the General Bureau of Public Security and the sub-bureau to see if there have been any vicious cases recently, such as fights and brawls, and cases where someone's right hand was cut off." ”

Luo Jiayan's face was still a little pale, she nodded, walked to her workstation, and began to make calls.

Xu Lang thought for a while, and then said to Lai Pi, "You go with me to check the courier company near my house, find the courier, and ask about the situation." ”

Lai Pi nodded, no opinion.

After arranging these tasks, Xu Lang said to Lu Xing, "You and Fan Yang will check where this courier was sent from according to the courier order. ”

"Okay, Brother Lang."

After saying this, everyone began to act, and Xu Lang left CY with Lai Pi.

After leaving CY, Xu Lang kept thinking about who would give him such a thing, whether it was a prank or a provocation

Just when Xu Lang and the others walked out of CY, Xu Lang's mobile phone rang, Xu Lang took it out and saw that it was Ding Haoqiong calling, so Xu Lang hurriedly connected the phone.

"Hey, what's wrong," Xu Lang asked suspiciously.

"You hurry back."

"What's wrong?"

"Someone called, and they wanted to find you by name."

"Find me find me what to do"

Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and he was very puzzled in his heart, but he still hung up the phone and returned to CY.

After returning to CY, Ding Haoqiong was holding the phone, waiting for Xu Lang, and after seeing Xu Lang come back, he hurriedly handed the phone to Xu Lang.

After Xu Lang took the microphone, he first glanced at Ding Haoqiong suspiciously, and then picked up the phone.

"Hey."

"Did you get it?" a mechanical man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Who are you?" asked Xu Lang.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is whether something was received"

"You sent that thing," Xu Lang asked.

"yes, isn't it a surprise?"

"What do you want to do?" asked Xu Lang.

"What I want to do, what I want to do"

After repeating it a few times, the other person said, "I want to play a game with you." ”

"What kind of game to play games," Xu Lang asked with a frown.

"A very fun, very exciting game, do you dare to play" The man's voice was a little sad and a little excited, obviously, he was very satisfied with his decision.

"Tell me, what kind of game is it," Xu Lang asked.

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet, and when I think about it, I'm contacting you."

After saying this, the phone hung up.
