Death is the end for many people, such as the deceased himself, and for some people, death is just the beginning, such as the police investigating and the relatives of the deceased.

That night, Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan stayed in the room and finished eating a bucket of instant noodles, even if they solved the dinner, the two discussed the results of the investigation of this visit to Chen Jiahe, and they both found that although some of the results of the investigation seemed to be helpful to the investigation of the case, but, after thinking about it carefully, they found that nothing seemed to be investigated, which made them feel a little helpless.

This has happened before, after all, it is not easy to investigate the truth of the deceased's murder and understand the deceased's past before his death, there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, and everyone has a different opinion of others, which is normal, but like the villagers of Chenjiahe, it is still rare to have such a consistent impression of Chen Qiumin, so Xu Lang decided to go to Chenjiahe again the next morning, Luo Jiayan naturally has no opinion.

Nothing to say and nothing to do all night.

Following.

The genius was bright, Xu Lang woke up, he didn't have the habit of lying in bed, after opening his eyes, he got up from the bed and went directly to the bathroom to wash.

When washing in the bathroom, Xu Lang found that his eyes were a little red and swollen, as well as dark circles, and a layer of fine stubble appeared on his blue chin, looking at himself in the mirror, Xu Lang could only smile bitterly, since the Chen Qiumin case, Xu Lang has not had a good rest in the past few days, and last night he fell asleep in a daze at three o'clock in the morning, and now, it is not yet seven o'clock, Xu Lang woke up, and this situation is normal.

After washing up, Xu Lang went out with the room card, ready to wake up Luo Jiayan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Luo Jiayan, who lived next door to him, also walked out of the door, and the two met in the corridor, glanced at each other, and saw each other's tiredness and dark circles on their faces, and looked at each other with a wry smile.

Xu Lang planned to take Luo Jiayan today, and the two of them went to Chenjiahe, without planning to contact the director of the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau, nor did they plan to find Chen Bo, the policeman who helped them lead the way yesterday, but when they came down from the upper floor, they unexpectedly found that Chen Bo, who was wearing a police uniform, actually came to the hall of the guest house early, waited for them, and immediately came over to say hello after seeing Xu Lang and them come down.

After Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan saw Chen Bo, they glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes, and they were puzzled.

Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan are from the city, yes, but they are only here to investigate Chen Qiumin's affairs, and they have nothing to do with Hengtong County, if Xu Lang and they come to Hengtong County to inspect, or carry out other work, and the people from the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau do this, Xu Lang is not surprised, the problem is that Xu Lang and they are not.

To put it mildly, CY may be known to many people in the urban area, but Hengtong County is only a small county, there is still a long distance from the city, usually, people in the urban area will not come here, and the police in Hengtong County are unlikely to know CY, after all, CY has only been established for less than half a year, and the CY criminal investigation team is very special, it seems that the power is great, in fact, there is no actual right, they are just responsible for investigating major criminal cases, the appointment of cadres and other things, Xu Lang They are not qualified to interfere, Xu Lang knows this very well in his heart, and Director Chen of the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau should also be very clear in his heart, it stands to reason that Xu Lang and they came here to investigate the case, and the Hengtong County police cooperated, that is their duty, even if they don't cooperate, Xu Lang They have no good way, but the other party is not only very cooperative, but also a little too much cooperation, such as now.

Just when Xu Lang was stunned, Chen Bo had already walked in front of Xu Lang and them, and said, "Officer Xu, Officer Luo, you guys got up really early, are you planning to go back, or go out to eat?"

Hearing this, Xu Lang subconsciously raised his eyebrows, looked at Chen Bo and said, "Oh, we're going to walk around." ”

"That's it, it's still early, we're a small place here, most people haven't gotten up yet, you haven't had breakfast yet, let's go have breakfast together, don't look at our small place, there are still a lot of delicious things." Chen Bo said with a smile.

Hearing the food, Luo Jiayan, who was originally interested in eating, changed her face unnaturally, she looked at Chen Bo and asked, "Your breakfast here, shouldn't it be something strange?"

Chen Bo was stunned, looked at Luo Jiayan in surprise, and said, "Is Officer Luo joking with me, can there be anything strange about breakfast, isn't it noodles, buns, fritters or something." ”

Hearing Chen Bo say this, Luo Jiayan didn't say anything more, but turned her head to look at Xu Lang and asked for Xu Lang's opinion.

Xu Lang pondered for a few seconds, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I'm hungry too." ”

Xu Lang agreed, Luo Jiayan naturally wouldn't say anything, just like that, Chen Bo took Xu Lang and them out of the guest house, turned left and right on the street, and came to the front of a noodle restaurant, there were many people queuing up in the noodle restaurant, Chen Bo first took Xu Lang and them to an empty table and sat down, and then went to line up to order.

Looking at Chen Bo's back, Xu Lang frowned, and Luo Jiayan also frowned with a baby face, looked at Chen Bo's back and said, "Are the people here so enthusiastic?"

Xu Lang narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

Seeing that Xu Lang didn't speak, Luo Jiayan asked again, "Brother Lang, have you been here before?"

Xu Lang shook his head and said, "No, it's the first time I've been here, and I've never heard of this place before." ”

"Ah, aren't you a local, how could you not know"

Luo Jiayan asked in surprise.

Xu Lang said with a wry smile, "Although I am a local of the city, in fact, in addition to the city and several nearby counties, I don't know and haven't been to many other places." ”

"Oh, that's it, when I came this time, I thought that Hengtong County must be close to the sea, but I didn't expect it to be in the mountains, I really didn't expect it."

"I didn't expect that either." Xu Lang said casually.

"We are in room 315, we found the body parts, there must be someone killed, do you think Chen Qiumin is an ogre?"

Luo Jiayan took out a pack of facial tissues from her bag, took out two sheets, stacked them on top of each other, and asked while wiping the table that looked clean.

Xu Lang shook his head, he is not sure now, however, from yesterday's visit to the investigation results, Chen Qiumin has played with fire and tortured small animals, although these actions can not prove anything, but it can be shown that Chen Qiumin is very dangerous, and it is likely that there are some criminal behaviors, of course, this is just Xu Lang's speculation, however, this possibility is very high, otherwise, it is difficult to explain why there is cooked human meat in the refrigerator in the room where Chen Qiumin lives.

The case of cannibalism, Xu Lang is not the first time to experience such a case, many years ago, Xu Lang served as the captain of the second criminal investigation team, and the last case investigated, that is, the suspect killed his wife, and then dismembered his wife's body and made it into back pot meat, when Xu Lang and they went to arrest the suspect, he was eating, and the dish on the table was back pot meat, Xu Lang couldn't stand the other party's verbal provocation and shot, and because of this, Xu Lang was suspended for reflection, and Xu Lang also took this opportunity to resign.

Of course, this is a case that Xu Lang has experienced, and there are many similar cases that Xu Lang has not experienced, in fact, there are many more, and most of them are abroad, among them, in distant Africa, there are still cannibal tribes, they are cannibals.

Thinking of the cannibal tribe, Xu Lang suddenly thought of a cannibal family that was very famous abroad, the Sonipin family.

This is a family of about 50 members, at the beginning, there were only two people, a husband and wife, because they didn't want to work, they lived in a cave on the coast, at first, they lived by robbery, but the money obtained by robbery was limited, and they were afraid of being discovered by the police, after the robbery, they did not dare to immediately take out the robbed money and sell it, but people need food to live, and they killed one of the victims during a robbery, And they brought their bodies back to the cave, and the first time they killed someone, they naturally felt very frightened and frightened, and in the face of the looted money, they did not dare to take it out and sell it, but they wanted to eat again, so they saw the corpse of the victim, so they came up with the idea of eating human flesh.

When they eat the victim's body for the first time, they suddenly become obsessed with this feeling, so, for a long time to come, they no longer kill for the sake of robbery, but for the sake of killing, they kill for the sake of killing in addition to the fear that the victim will call the police after being robbed, more for food, yes, they treat living people as their food, food, and during this period, they have a lot of children, the more children they need, the more food they need, so, They went on a killing spree.

When this cannibal family committed the last crime, the only survivor recalled that this family, when robbing and killing, acted very quickly, just like well-trained soldiers in the army, they went from robbery, to killing, to dismembering the body, and finally taking away the body, it took less than ten minutes before and after, and the shock can be imagined.

Of course, in the end, the final fate of the Sonybin family was naturally to be arrested by the police, and the day after they were arrested, they were executed, and the youngest of them was only a few years old.

When Xu Lang first saw the relevant case information, he thought it was incredible, when this case happened, it was in the fourteenth century, people had already entered the era of civilization, and the place where it happened was still in the city, which was unimaginable and incomprehensible, they would kill people in order to eat people.

Thinking of the Sonubin family, Xu Lang thought of Chen Qiumin's case again, and he couldn't understand whether the human flesh in Chen Qiumin's room was used to eat, if so, then this was a realistic version of the ogre.

Just when Xu Lang was thinking about the Sony family, Chen Bo walked over with two bowls of steaming and fragrant noodles.

When Xu Lang looked at the noodles in front of him and the beef on the noodles, Xu Lang subconsciously frowned, but he didn't say anything.

When Chen Bo came back with his noodles, Xu Lang had already put down his chopsticks, Xu Lang only ate half of the noodles, and Xu Lang didn't eat a bite of beef, and so did Luo Jiayan.

Seeing this, Chen Bo asked suspiciously, "Don't you eat beef?"

Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan glanced at each other, smiled, shook their heads, and didn't explain anything.

Seeing that Xu Lang didn't explain anything, Chen Bo didn't think much about it, and solved the noodles in the bowl with three clicks and five divided by two, and just when he was about to get up and go to check out, Luo Jiayan had already settled the bill in advance.

Walking out of the noodle shop, Chen Bo looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Officer Xu, where are you going to be in the maggot bureau next, or go back to the guest house?"

Xu Lang thought for a while and said, "We want to go to Chenjiahe again to learn about some information." ”

"Ahh

Chen Bo looked at Xu Lang and them in surprise and let out an exclamation.

Xu Lang was taken aback by Chen Bo's sudden reaction, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay."

Chen Bo said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Xu Lang looked at Chen Bo and frowned.

"Officer Xu, didn't you go to Chenjiahe yesterday and learn about the relevant situation, why do you still want to go?"

After a while, Chen Bo asked tentatively.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that when I was investigating and visiting yesterday, I was in too much of a hurry, and some questions were not asked clearly, so I planned to ask in the past." Xu Lang explained.

"Otherwise, I will let the village chief come to the county, the village chief has worked in Chenjiahe for decades, and he knows a lot of things, what do you think" Chen Bo looked at Xu Lang and proposed.

Hearing this, Xu Lang stopped, looked at Chen Bo, and looked at it for a while before he said, "Officer Chen, you don't seem to want us to go to Chenjiahe, could it be that Chen Jiahe still has some secrets?"

"Ahaha, how is this possible, you have also seen that our road is not good, and there is still a long way to go from here to Chenjiahe, I am worried that there will be a fork in your road." Chen Bo hurriedly explained.

Xu Lang squinted, looked at Chen Bo, looked at it for a few seconds, smiled, shook his head, and didn't say anything more.

In this way, the three of them returned to the door of the guest house again.

After returning to the guest house, Xu Lang stopped, looked at Chen Bo and said, "You don't have to follow us, go back to work, let's go find out some information and come back." ”

"It's not good, or I'll come with you." Chen Bo looked embarrassed.

"What's wrong with this, we're just going to find out about the situation, and we're not arresting suspects, it's okay, you can go back." Xu Lang said with a smile.

"This"

Chen Bo still wanted to say something, but after seeing Xu Lang's undeniable eyes, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, nodded, said a word to pay attention to safety, and turned to leave.

When he walked out of the door of the guest house, he stopped several times, turned his head, looked at Xu Lang, wanted to speak and stopped, and in the end, he didn't say anything and left.

Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan stood at the door of the guest house, looking at the back of Chen Bo who was gradually moving away, and their expressions were not very good.

Chen Bo is very suspicious and behaves very strangely, he seems to be trying his best to prevent Xu Lang and them from going to Chenjiahe, why is this, Chen Qiumin's case really has nothing to do with Chen Jiahe, but, according to the previous investigation, Chen Qiumin has not come back since he left Chenjiahe more than two years ago, what does his death have to do with Chen Jiahe

If it weren't for Chen Qiumin's case, could it be that Chen Jiahe really was hiding some shady secret, and if it was really like this, then what was this secret related to the case that Xu Lang and they are investigating now

Thinking of this, Xu Lang felt that no matter why Chen Bo prevented them from going to Chenjiahe, they had to go to Chenjiahe.

So, Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan did not go back to the guest house, but went to the parking lot, ready to drive to Chenjiahe.

It was still Xu Lang who drove, Luo Jiayan sat in the co-pilot, started the car, and the car slowly drove out of the parking lot and drove on the road to Chenjiahe.

On the way to Chenjiahe, Luo Jiayan looked ahead, frowned and said, "Brother Lang, have you noticed that the person named Chen Bo is very strange, he doesn't seem to want us to go to Chenjiahe." ”

Xu Lang nodded and said, "You can see it too."

Luo Jiayan nodded and said, "Why do you say this?"

Xu Lang shook his head, he didn't know why now, but Xu Lang was sure that Chen Jiahe might not be as simple as he had seen before, and perhaps, he could find some clues when he went to Chen Jiahe this time.

After leaving Hengtong County for about twenty minutes, the car stopped, and it was not because Xu Lang and they suddenly changed their minds and did not go to Chenjiahe, but because they had no way to continue moving forward.

On the road leading to Chenjiahe, there was a landslide, and the road that was not wide was completely covered by the collapsed stones and mud, and Xu Lang's car could not move forward at all, and at this time, seven or eight people were wielding hoes over there to clear the road.

Xu Lang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, frowned again when he saw this scene.

Yesterday, when they went back and forth to this road, there was no such situation, and now there is a sudden situation in this situation, which is very abnormal, if it is because of the heavy rain, which leads to a landslide, and it is said in the past, but it has not rained for nearly a month, and it is a big sun every day, how can the mountain collapse and collapse

Xu Lang parked the car, pushed the car door, came to the crowd, found the oldest old man and asked, "Uncle, what's going on?"

"I don't know, it's suddenly collapsed."

"When will it be cleaned up," Xu Lang asked.

The old man turned his head and glanced at Xu Lang, then at the car parked not far away, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, it is estimated that it will take several hours to clean up." ”

After saying this, the old man asked again, "You are going to the front, if this is the case, I advise you to go back." ”

Then, the old man stopped talking to Xu Lang and began to wave his hoe and continue to clean up the collapsed mountain, while Xu Lang stood in place, looking at the scene in front of him, and frowned again.
