Chapter 2: The Unknown Murderer
In the middle of the same night, the underground morgue of the Ningchuan Branch Bureau was already full of "corpses", and the smell of blood in the air was extremely strong, but the smell here seemed to be more complex than the usual smell of blood, with some smell of earth and some smell of grass.
"Yan ..... Minister Yan ......" Huo Fatzi stood in the corner of the morgue sweating profusely, looking at Yan Qing, the head of the Investigation Department who was close at hand, and he only felt that he had never been so nervous, "We have probably finished classifying the bodies of these comrades, and there are currently one hundred and thirty-one people who have been identified, and there are more than forty who have not been identified, and DNA comparison is ......."
"Are you sure these are classified remains?" Yan Qing's face was ugly, and he pointed to the glass jars that were placed on the morgue, "Didn't find anything else?" That's all? ”
"I didn't ...... I didn't find ......" Huo Fatzi kept wiping the cold sweat on his head, and he was trembling when he spoke, even though he was now the head of the Ningchuan City Secret Bureau, but he was still very afraid of this top boss in his heart, "We have tried our best to find it, and there are staff from the headquarters to help us halfway, but ...... Didn't find ...... I can't find even a whole piece of meat......"
The sealed glass jars placed on the morgue were only the size of a palm, and each jar had a note full of data taped to its side, except for a few jars that had not yet been identified, and a small amount of blood-colored liquid could be faintly seen through the crystal clear colorless glass.
According to Huo Fatzi to Yan Qing, these liquids are the remains of those who died.
"So many people..... Are you sure the anomaly vector killed you? Yan Qing looked at Fat Huo expressionlessly, the muscles in the corners of his eyes kept beating, as if he was suppressing some kind of anger.
"At first, we all thought it was something done by that anomalous medium....... Huo Fatzi spoke in a lower voice, as if he didn't dare to look into Yan Qing's eyes, "but according to the clues we have obtained so far....... There is a possibility...... It was people who killed these comrades. ”
"People??" Yan Qing was stunned, he didn't expect Huo Fatzi to suddenly give this answer.
"Of course, we can't be sure, because you know how weird that anomalous medium is, maybe its doppelganger will turn into a human form......" Huo Fatzi didn't dare to say anything, just say whatever he wants, "According to the clues collected by the on-site staff, these killed comrades were all killed by the same object, and it can be preliminarily determined that the murderer should be in human form, there are some residual footprints at the scene, the height is about one meter nine, and the weight is ......"
"What about people?" Yan Qing interrupted Huo Fatzi's words, gritted his teeth and asked, "Didn't find it?" ”
"I haven't found it yet." Huo Fatzi nodded, and the expression on his face was also ugly, "At present, the number of footprints we have found is very small, it is estimated that it is related to this heavy rainstorm, it is basically impossible to trace along the footprints, the surveillance video around Jiuling Mountain has been called out and seen, and nothing abnormal has been found." ”
"So..... There's a good chance that the murderer is still in the mountains? Yan Qing asked.
"If the killer had nothing to do with the anomalous medium, then there's a good chance it was." Huo Fatzi looked affirmative, and then added, "We have sent a large force to search the mountain, this time it is mainly to investigate and track, once they find that there is an abnormality in the mountain, they will send the news to our branch as soon as possible." ”
"Let them come back, and we'll go."
At this time, Di Xiao, who had been standing silently in the corner, came over, and his face without any emotional fluctuations gave Huo Fat a lot of pressure, and he was more afraid of this silent Di Xiao than Yan Qing.
"If the murderer is still on the mountain, the people you sent out are just going to die." Di Xiao sighed, then turned his gaze to Yan Qing, "Let's go search the mountain." ”
"You..... You two are going to search the mountains? Huo Fatzi looked at them in astonishment, and couldn't help but remind, "The area of Jiuling Mountain is not small, if you want to search it completely, it is ......."
"Okay." Yan Qing interrupted Huo Fatzi's words and nodded very seriously, "I have seen the topographic map of Jiuling Mountain, and we should be able to search it in less than a day." ”
Huo Fatzi: "......."
Jiuling Mountain is the largest mountain near Ningchuan City, and in their initial search plan, the search range is at least about 200 square kilometers...... With such a large area, you two are going to search it?? This has to be searched to the Year of the Monkey??
But seeing that these two ministers are quite confident, Huo Fatzi is not embarrassed to persuade more, after all, he can only be regarded as a subordinate here, and it is not his turn to talk more about what the leader wants to do.
"By the way, what about that kid Chen Xian?" Yan Qing asked suddenly, turning his head to look at Huo Fatzi, "I still want to see him with my own eyes when I come to Ningchuan this time, Minister Di is also interested in that kid, he didn't come back?" ”
"He's a native of Ningchuan, so he probably went home." Huo Fatzi replied, and explained to Chen Xian again, "It may not be so easy to clean up that abnormal medium this time, maybe you have to go home to recuperate after being injured." ”
"That's it......" Yan Qing nodded helplessly, "Then I'll see you again when I have a chance." ”
Meanwhile.
In the yin market of Ningchuan City, the old crook's grocery store ushered in a long-lost customer.
"Fuck! You're far away! I'm about to lose half my life, you came?! ”
"It takes time to hurry, I want to go there immediately, isn't this the reality that doesn't allow it......"
In the back room of the grocery store, the old crook sat cross-legged on a chair, holding a cup of "medicinal tea" that smelled fishy, and his thin and shriveled face had a very unsightly expression.
"I'm lucky to be able to hold back this time, what if there's a next time?"
"There won't be a next time."
Zhou Wei, who was sitting across the tea table, smiled, although the expression on his face was more relaxed than that of the old liar, but the solemnity and fear in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Let's talk to Xiaoxian, he is not a child, and he will be more important in the future."
After learning about the abnormal outbreak in Chen Xian's body, compared to the old liar who was scared half to death, Zhou Tuan was not much better, it can be said that he had prepared for the worst when he first got the news, he didn't think that the old liar could suppress the anomaly alone...... But in the end, the truth slapped him in the face, and he was completely relieved, and it is not an exaggeration to describe his mood with the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
"The degree of its recovery this time is very low, and judging from the traces of energy left on the scene, it can't be compared to the last time, so I suspect that it is related to Xiaoxian's psychological quality, maybe it is because he has grown up and matured, and he can control his mood better, so he ......."
Hearing Zhou Luan's analysis, the old liar spat and almost spit on Zhou Luan's face.
"So fart, this time it's our luck, and the other factors are." The old liar said with a teacup and scolding, suddenly remembering what Chen Xian said to him, his expression was a little ugly, "Actually, he has always been conscious, but he just can't control his body, you also know how terrible that thing is, even if the gods come, they can't control it!" ”
Zhou Shu thought about it and nodded in agreement with the old liar's words.
"You're going to let us talk to him?" The old liar frowned, and seemed to be a little unsure of Zhou Luan's proposal, "Say anything or?" ”
"Partial." Zhou Jian said, a long-lost old face suddenly appeared in his mind, and his bright eyes dimmed a little in an instant, "We promised him, those deeper things...... We can't say. ”
"It's all here, what else can't be said?" The old liar sneered.
"We shouldn't let him have self-doubt." Zhou Shu said word by word, his eyes were very complicated, "At least don't let him wonder if he shouldn't appear in this world." ”
Hearing this, the old liar also fell silent, and nodded to acquiesce to Zhou Lu's proposal.
"It's all over, don't put on a bad face." Zhou Jian suddenly smiled, with a gossipy expression on his face, "How many times have you seen the girl next to Xiao Xian?" How does it feel? ”
The old liar thought about it and gave a pertinent and objective answer.
"It's stupid, it doesn't look very smart."
"It's good to be stupid, stupid people are stupid." Zhou Jian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, "Don't look at Xiaoxian as a stable person, that kid is also stupid, if you find a smart one, you may be deceived and turned around." ”
"Isn't it?" The old liar also nodded, like the old ladies who gathered together to gossip in the streets and alleys, and said with great interest, "There are many vixens here in the Yin City who have taken a fancy to that kid, and a few of the bold ones even wanted to find me to match the matchmaker, but I rejected them all haha!" ”
Hearing this, Zhou Jian gave a thumbs up and praised him: "Well done!" ”
"But that's it...... That girl is good, her appearance and personality are good, but her origin is a little vague. The old liar couldn't help frowning when he said this, his expression was very puzzled, "I also checked it in private, that girl just appeared out of thin air, and Xiaoxian didn't want to tell me where she came from, so I've always been confused......
"It's okay, I'll check it for you."
Zhou Tuan smiled confidently, and his words were full of a sense of superiority.
"Your Yin City's intelligence network has always been inferior to our Secret Bureau, so it's normal that you can't find out, so I'll leave this matter to me!"
