The night is as dark as ink, the bright moon is in the sky, and the bright moonlight is swaying down, shining on Hengtong County, which is surrounded by mountains, quiet and holy.

Accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the big city, when night falls, this long-lost tranquility makes people feel like a dream, especially when you look up at the night sky, you can clearly see the stars that you don't know how far away, as if everything seems so unreal.

When night falls, the cool breeze blows away the heat of the scorching sun during the day, making people feel comfortable, and the breeze blows on the cheeks, just like the girl's tender little hands gently touching and caressing the face, gentle and comfortable.

After Xu Lang and they rushed back to Hengtong County from Chenjiahe, they rejected Chen Bo's proposal to invite them to dinner, Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan went directly to the guest house in Hengtong County, opened two rooms to live, and when the waiter led Xu Lang and them to the room, Xu Lang has been standing by the window, looking at the city in front of him, which is extremely strange to him.

This trip to Chenjiahe in Hengtong County to conduct an investigation, Xu Lang originally thought that he could obtain some useful information, and the result was indeed the case, but Xu Lang always felt a little weird, and there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Judging from the current investigation, in the hotel where Chen Qiumin was killed, the three people who often went to find Chen Qiumin were likely to be the same age who left Chen Jiahe with Chen Qiumin, Chen Yuzhen and Chen Shan left with Chen Qiumin, and Chen Wang left with Chen Jianjun, as for Chen Zhen, he left here after being admitted to university, so, the question is, which of the three people who often go to Chen Qiumin, which of these four people are the three?

First of all, Chen Yuzhen can be excluded, because, according to the memories of the waiter and the boss of Fuyuan Hotel, the three people who often go to Chen Qiumin are all men, not women.

Advertise, it's really good, it's worth pretending, and Android and Apple phones support it!

If the three people who went to the hotel to find Chen Qiumin were Chen Zhen, Chen Wang, and Chen Shan, then what did they do with Chen Qiumin? Did they give the human flesh in the refrigerator to Chen Qiumin? If yes, then, how did this flesh come from? If not, then what's the matter with human flesh in the refrigerator?

If you want to determine this, it is actually very simple, Xu Lang and they have already obtained photos of five people, including Chen Qiumin, when they visited and investigated in Chenjiahe, as long as they sent the photos to Ding Haoqiong and them, let them take the photos of these people, and let the people of Fuyuan Hotel identify them, and they can get the results.

If those three people are really Chen Zhen and them, then who are the men and women who appeared when Chen Qiumin first checked into Fuyuan Hotel? What is their relationship with Chen Qiumin?

When visiting Chen Jiahe, Xu Lang found that Chen Qiumin's grandfather only had a son of Chen Jianjun, and Chen Jianjun only had a child of Chen Qiumin, Chen Jianjun had no brothers and sisters, and Chen Qiumin had no brothers and sisters.

So, a new problem arose, according to the memories of the waiter at the Fuyuan Hotel, when Chen Qiumin first checked into the hotel, a man and a woman came to Chen Qiumin, and the two sides had a fierce quarrel, it seemed that they did not agree with Chen Qiumin to live in the hotel, but went home with them.

Go home?

Which home to go back to? Chen Jiahe? Or is it something else?

A person who has no relatives, does he still have a home? In other words, as long as it is where Chen Qiumin lives, that is his home, so which home do those two people go back to?

If you want to know Chen Qiumin's past, and know if he is really an ogre as Xu Lang guessed before, you first need to figure out the source of the human flesh in the refrigerator in room 315, as well as the identities of the five people who once appeared in the hotel.

If Chen Qiumin is really an ogre, then the question arises again, when did he start eating people? When was the first time he ate a man, and who was the one being eaten?

Thinking of this, Xu Lang sighed, and it seemed that everything was back to square one.

Xu Lang came back to his senses, took out his mobile phone, dialed Ding Haoqiong's mobile phone, and the call was quickly connected.

"Are the four people in the photo the same people who used to be in the hotel?" Xu Lang didn't have any extra greetings, and asked directly.

"After receiving the photo from Luo Jiayan, I immediately asked people to take the photo to Fuyuan Hotel, and asked the staff in the hotel, and after identification, they found that there were five people in the photo, one of whom had gone to find Chen Qiumin seven days ago."

"Who is it?"

"Chen Wang."

"Chen Wang? How could it be him? ”

Hearing this result, Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and said to himself, and then, he thought of other things, and hurriedly asked, "What about the other three?" Have the people at the hotel seen them? ”

"Nope."

"None? How is this possible. ”

Xu Lang was a little surprised, when he heard that one of the three people who had gone to find Chen Qiumin was Chen Wang, Xu Lang subconsciously thought that the remaining two people were Chen Zhen and Chen Shan, but the result was different from what Xu Lang imagined, which made Xu Lang very puzzled.

"Have you found out the identities of the remaining two people?" Xu Lang asked after a moment of silence.

"Not yet."

"Any new clues?"

"Not yet."

"How is the investigation of Chen Zhen and a few people going?" Xu Lang asked again.

"After we received the information from you, we have already started to investigate, but it is night, and there is not much to investigate

。 ”

"Tell me, what have you investigated?" Xu Lang pursed his lips and asked.

"We retrieved the household registration information and identity information of several people, including Chen Zhen, and found that Chen Zhen is indeed a college student, and seven years ago, he was admitted to S University with excellent results, but ......"

"But what?" Xu Lang hurriedly asked.

"However, he dropped out of school three years ago, that year, he was just a senior and was about to graduate, I don't know why, he suddenly dropped out of school, and he didn't go through the withdrawal procedures."

Hearing this, Xu Lang suddenly frowned.

After a moment of silence, Xu Lang asked, "Then do you know the reason why he dropped out?" ”

"I don't know this yet, I need to go to S University tomorrow and ask Chen Zhen's teacher to find out." Ding Haoqiong said on the other end of the phone.

"Then find out what Chen Zhen is doing now?" Xu Lang asked again.

"I haven't found this yet."

After another moment of silence, Xu Lang asked, "What about the rest of the people?" ”

"The time is too short, the information is too little, and there are no useful clues yet." Ding Haoqiong said.

"That's right."

Xu Lang suddenly felt a disappointment in his heart, he didn't investigate the desired result, the disappointment was certain, but Xu Lang knew that this was also something that could not be helped, when Xu Lang and they left from Chenjiahe, it was already dark, and Ding Haoqiong They were definitely not idle today, in such a short period of time, it was not easy to find out this information, and Xu Lang didn't have much to say.

"The ......"

Just when Xu Lang was about to open his mouth to ask if the autopsy results came out, he heard someone calling Ding Haoqiong, and the two of them seemed to be saying something, Xu Lang had to stop talking and wait for Ding Haoqiong.

After about five minutes, Ding Haoqiong spoke: "Brother Lang, there is a new discovery. ”

"Oh, what discovery?"

Xu Lang suddenly became excited.

"I asked Lu Xing to look through the list of people with criminal records based on the identity information of Chen Zhen and several others, and found that Chen Wang had been punished by the public security system."

"Punished? What are the reasons for the penalty? ”

"Because of the trafficking of wild animals, I have been administratively punished."

"When?"

"Oh, it was more than half a year ago."

"What kind of animals are they?" Xu Lang asked.

"Pheasant, python or something."

"How did you deal with it in the end?"

"Fines, detention." Ding Haoqiong said.

"Didn't you prosecute?"

"Oh, no, according to the archives, it was said that these were not wild, but domestic, and a preliminary investigation also found that the animals were indeed domestic, so, it was only a fine and detention, and there was no prosecution."

"Did Chen Wang leave fingerprints and other information at that time?" Xu Lang asked.

"Yes."

"Find a way to find him."

"Got it."

"Are the autopsy results out?"

"It's out."

"How?"

"Chen Qiumin was indeed killed by him, and he was strangled to death, and the food that killed him was the meat on his own thighs."

"What about the human flesh in the refrigerator?"

"According to the results of Forensic Qin's test and comparison, the human flesh in the refrigerator is not Chen Qiumin's own."

"Whose is that?"

"Further investigation is still underway, but ......" Ding Haoqiong stopped talking.

"But what?"

"The human flesh in the refrigerator, after laboratory comparison, is from three people, two men and one woman, however, the body parts have been cooked at high temperatures, destroying the DNA, and the victim cannot be found through DNA data for the time being, Qin Forensic Medicine is already through further autopsy, hoping to find some valuable information."

Hearing this, Xu Lang's mood became more and more solemn, and he was silent for a long time and said: "Find a way to determine the identity of the victim as soon as possible and find the source of the body." ”

"I know, when are you going to be back?" Ding Haoqiong asked.

Xu Lang thought for a while and said, "There are still some problems with the investigation here, so I'll go back a few days later." ”

"Oh, stay safe there, come back as soon as possible."

"Got it."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Lang put down the phone, and his expression became extremely solemn.

Chen Qiumin did not commit suicide but killed him, this has long been determined, and the reason for his death, Xu Lang has long known, and even, the murderer of Chen Qiumin, Xu Lang also has an object of suspicion in their hearts, and this person is Sun Wenyao.

Chen Qiumin's death is indeed tragic, but this is not what Xu Lang cares about the most now, what Xu Lang cares about most now is the corpses in the refrigerator, those human flesh that have been cooked.

When Xu Lang opened the refrigerator for the first time, he heard Qin Mingyue introduce the parts of the body in the refrigerator, Xu Lang guessed that the victims might be two people, a man and a woman, but the current autopsy results told Xu Lang that Xu Lang still thought too little, and there were three victims.

Who are these three victims? Are they dead, judging by the parts of the body in the refrigerator, these three people must be dead, so where are the other bodies of them? Also, this was only accidentally discovered by the police when they found Chen Qiumin's body, and Chen Qiumin lived in Fuyuan Hotel for more than a year, and during this period, every seven days, someone would go to find Chen Qiumin, so does it mean that whenever someone goes to find Chen

When Qiu Min is in the moment, does it mean that someone dies?

If this is the case, then how many victims have been killed in a year or so, once every seven days, that is, once a week, and a month has four weeks, twelve months in a year, and about fifty-two weeks in a year, so does it mean that at least fifty or sixty people have been killed?

This is only Xu Lang's preliminary speculation, maybe, the real victims are far more than these, maybe the victims are much less than Xu Lang's speculation, no matter what the result is, it shows that someone must have been killed, and it is not as simple as one or two.

Thinking of this, a new problem arises again.

Although S City is very large, however, if someone is missing or killed one after another, someone will definitely choose to call the police, and the police will definitely file a case, a year to the public security bureau to report the disappearance of a lot of people, this is not unusual, however, if someone frequently disappears, it will definitely attract the attention of the police, and naturally it will be filed for investigation, Xu Lang does not believe that if there are really dozens of people missing and killed, the police will not find the slightest clue.

Although Xu Lang only returned to S City at the beginning of this year, however, after the establishment of CSY, Xu Lang looked through many files in recent years and did not find this problem, and Tian Yongchun, director of the General Bureau of Public Security, Du Ziqiao, captain of the second criminal investigation team, and Deputy Director Ning Yanran did not mention this matter.

Xu Lang stood by the window for a long time, walked back to the bed and lay down, leaned half on the head of the bed, picked up the notepad on the bedside table, and began to rearrange the doubts in the case.

First, Chen Qiumin was killed in Fuyuan Hotel, and he killed him, so who was the murderer? Although Xu Lang now suspects that it is likely to be Sun Wenyao who killed Chen Qiumin, there is no evidence to prove this, and it is only speculation at present, if it was really Sun Wenyao who killed Chen Qiumin, then, what is his motive for committing the crime?

Second, who are those three men who go to the Fuyuan Hotel every seven days to find Chen Qiumin? Except for one of them, who are the other two people? What is their relationship with Chen Qiumin?

Third, when Chen Qiumin first checked into Fuyuan Hotel, a man and a woman went to find Chen Qiumin, what is the relationship between this man and woman and Chen Qiumin? Do they have any connection with Chen Wang?

Fourth, whether Chen Qiumin is an ogre or not, for the time being, it is just speculation that when did he start eating people, and who was the object of being eaten?

Fifth, the body parts in the refrigerator are human flesh, and there are three victims, two men and one woman, so how many real victims are there?

Sixth, Chen Qiumin left Chenjiahe more than two years ago, and he stayed at Fuyuan Hotel more than a year ago, so where was he during the nearly one year between his departure from Chenjiahe and his stay at Fuyuan Hotel? What was done?

Seventh, Chen Qiumin has four good friends, Chen Zhen, Chen Wang, Chen Shan, and Chen Yuzhen, except for Chen Wang, who appeared in the sight of the police, and Chen Wang, who was related to Chen Qiumin's murder, where are the remaining three people? Do they have anything to do with Chen's case?

After writing this, Xu Lang suddenly thought of what Chen Bo said on the way back from Chenjiahe, Xu Lang wrote the three words of Chenjiahe in the notebook, and he felt that Chenjiahe might not be as simple as he saw.

First of all, Chenjiahe is just a small village, and the people on this side of the river have all gone out to work and moved, but there are still so many people on the other side of the river where Chen Qiumin and the others live, why is this?

Secondly, when Xu Lang went to Chenjiahe to visit and investigate, Xu Lang found that the villagers' impression of Chen Qiumin was surprisingly consistent, they could eat, they had a lot of food, and they were very fat, but in addition, no other information was mentioned, and the village chief Chen Weiguo mainly told about Chen Qiumin's family, and these things, in fact, don't ask them, you can find out if you investigate a little, and if you say it, you can't say it.

Also, when Xu Lang and the others went to Chenjiahe to investigate, he found that whether it was the villagers or the village chief, they seemed to be very enthusiastic, but they were very vigilant, it seemed that they didn't want Xu Lang to stay in the village for too long, why is this? In particular, when Xu Lang and the others left Chenjiahe, the men who were supposed to eat at home were standing at the door, staring at themselves from a distance, as if they were demonstrating and driving Xu Lang away.

In addition, Chen Bo said that since he was a child, his family ordered him not to go to play on the other side of the river, and not to have too much contact with the children on the other side of the river.

It's weird, it's weird.

Xu Lang thought about what he had heard and seen in Chenjiahe during the day, and the only thing Xu Lang felt was weird.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Just when Xu Lang was still thinking about what was strange about Chen Jiahe, there was a knock on the door, Xu Lang subconsciously turned his head, glanced at the door, put down the notepad in his hand, stood up, walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Luo Jiayan holding two bowls of instant noodles in his hands.

Just now, Xu Lang didn't feel hungry yet, but now, after seeing instant noodles, his stomach immediately growled, and he hurriedly let Luo Jiayan into the room, and then closed the door.

When Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan set off from S City, they had a little breakfast casually, and then they came to Hengtong County, originally they planned to solve lunch and dinner here, but the meal at noon was quite exciting, Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan couldn't eat at all, and fled, and when they arrived in Hengtong County, Xu Lang and they rushed to Chenjiahe to visit and investigate, they didn't eat for a day, and they were already hungry.

"I guess you're hungry, so eat quickly." Luo Jiayan said with a smile.

Xu Lang was not polite, took a bucket of noodles and began to eat.
