"What should we do next?"

Sitting in a somewhat dimly lit room, Hua Yu asked me.

I took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Now the situation is very complicated, Mrs. Xiao's body was stolen, and the whereabouts of the gentian are unknown, it's really hard to say." ”

Tired, unprecedentedly tired, I have never felt so tired, facing one problem after another, I can't even do it for a while.

Hua Yu leaned on the table next to him and thought about it and said, "I think let's start with gentian, I have always had a feeling recently that Mrs. Xiao's death may have been caused by gentian." ”

I was aroused by Hua Yu's words: "Then you say, where is the key point of this case, you said that I have considered this, but I still can't figure out who stole Xiao's gentian, and who entered such a tight room." ”

Hua Yu said: "Let's not talk about the killing of Mrs. Xiao, there are too many doubts about the gentian, the gentian has been lost for so long, there is no news from the outside world, if I am a thief, I should immediately take action if I steal the treasure, so there may be no movement at all, unless..."

Speaking of this, Hua Yu and I almost thought of going together, and said in unison: "Unless the gentian is not stolen." ”

As soon as I said this, the two of us were a little excited, but then my words stifled the interest that the two of us had finally brought up.

I was surprised and said, "If the gentian hadn't been lost, where would it be, and if the Xiao people had deliberately hidden it, then what were they doing it for?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Hua Yu said in a speculative tone: "Is it possible that someone from the Xiao family did it, otherwise it is impossible for this to happen, the Xiao family has a big business, and there is no need for them to hide things to fool the police." ”

Just when I was analyzing the case with Huayu and was about to find a clue, my phone suddenly remembered.

At this time, who will call me on the big night.

I looked at the caller ID on my phone, it showed that it was a strange call, my number was not told to strangers, and almost all the calls that could call me were acquaintances.

In the middle of the night, could it be that the case went wrong again?

Suspiciously, I pressed the answer button and said to the person on the phone, "Who?" ”

"Officer Li, something is wrong."

The call was made by Tan Ming, who said a message that shocked me.

"What's going on?"

After I hung up the phone, Hua Yu hurriedly asked.

I pulled her and walked outside, saying to her as I went, "Mrs. Xiao's body has been found." ”

"Found it?"

Australia's Gate River...

The Damen River is located in the position of the sea in Australia, and there are still many people who come to play at ordinary times, because of the beautiful scenery, the government's development zone has not yet arrived.

This afternoon, Tan Ming received a call to the police, saying that someone found a corpse under the rocky reef of the Damen River, judging from the characteristics of the corpse, it was a female corpse, because the reporter was afraid, so he did not approach the female corpse, and after reporting to the police, it never appeared again.

When we came, it could be said that there was a sea of people here, and the Damen River was not far from the city, and the masses rushed over as soon as they heard that there were female corpses here.

The speed of the media was the fastest, and they arrived in Daemungang almost earlier than me.

As soon as I got out of the car, a cold wind blew in my face, and my body shook slightly, and I remembered that I had forgotten to take my clothes.

Hua Yu said to me with concern: "Do you want to find you a dress?" ”

I said no, and waved my hand to go over and have a look.

The scene of the crime had long been separated by the police, and as soon as Hua Yu and I arrived outside the cordon, the police officer on duty immediately raised the cordon.

"Officer Tan." I shouted at Tan Ming, who was not far away.

Tan Ming didn't hear it at first, he was discussing it with his colleagues on the side, and it was the people behind him who reminded him that he saw us.

"Officer Li, you're here." Tan Ming said with a somewhat ugly face.

Hua Yu's eyes were the sharpest, looking at Tan Ming's pale face, even in this dark night, he could only see vaguely through the light, and hurriedly asked, "Officer Tan, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong with the corpse?" ”

I was also staring at Tan Ming.

Tan Ming looked at us with some panic and said, "It's that there is something wrong with the corpse, and when we came, we found that the internal organs of the corpse were all gone, and the stomach was empty, and there was nothing." ”

"What, where is the body?"

I was shocked at the same time as Hua Yu, and I can say that I was the most surprised, because no one knows this case better than me.

"Come with me, two of you." Tan Ming led us to the corpse.

The corpse was covered by a white cloth, and I watched the scene in front of me with bated breath, and forgot to open it for a while.

Hua Yu saw that I didn't move, and hurriedly reminded me, "Do you still want to watch?" ”

I nodded slightly, and pulled back the white cloth that covered the corpse.

As soon as I opened it, a foul smell came out.

Although it is close to winter in Australia at this moment, it still can't cover the smell of rot.

Looking at the corpse in front of me, I felt my stomach churning.

Hua Yu was also frightened when he stood aside, but he didn't react, but looked forward and squatted down to observe carefully.

The deceased could no longer see her true face, the head of the corpse was gone, and judging from the incision, it looked like someone had cut it off with a sharp weapon.

A large hole appeared in the abdomen of the corpse, the size of a palm, and when I looked down through the light, the internal organs in the stomach were gone.

If it weren't for some of the characteristics of women, I'm afraid it would be a bit difficult to distinguish.

I pointed to the corpse and asked Tan Ming, "Is this Mrs. Xiao?" ”

Tan Ming said without thinking: "Yes." I took a photo of Mrs. Xiao after she was killed.

I picked up the photo and looked at it carefully.

The corpse in the photo is similar to the corpse I saw in front of me, except for some parts missing.

Even the clothes are the same.

Where does it look different, in fact, the size of the corpse has changed before and after shrinking.

The deceased who was killed, after being carried away from the Shaw villa, was placed in the morgue of the police station.

However, the corpse was stolen from the police station again, and it was not well protected outside, and with so much time, the volume of the corpse must have more than doubled.

So the first time I saw the corpse, I thought it was strange.

Hua Yu squatted on the ground and looked at it for a long time, he was also a little puzzled, got up and said to Tan Ming: "Mrs. Xiao's corpse appears here, there must be a problem, you first get the corpse back, and see what kind of sharp weapon this corpse was cut by someone, there are so many people here now, and the impact is not good if you stay for a long time." ”

Tan Ming also knew the weight inside, if he hadn't waited for us, he might have asked people to take it back a long time ago.

Tan Ming hurriedly called the forensic doctor and covered the white cloth next to the corpse.
