As soon as he finished washing, he saw He Cheng walking in, Meng Ke wanted to accuse Qiao Zhe of a policeman who was actually engaging in superstitious actions inside, but He Cheng said: "Yes, yes, yes!" Or we Qiao Zhe carefully, I forgot about it! Meng Ke, if you touch those things, you have to wash them with grapefruit leaves a few times, especially if you are still a girl! If the grapefruit leaves are not enough, I still have ~ Qiao Zhe in the drawer! Keep an eye on her! Wash it several times! ”

Meng Ke: "............" She is now almost obedient to the words of the protagonist He Cheng, for fear that she will accidentally be left with a bad image by the other party and deduct points. Meng Ke only felt that he was guarding 10 points of his own life, and he lived a very humble life.

Qiao Zhe laughed: "Did you hear that? Wash it several times! ”

After He Cheng sat down, he suddenly thought of something: "Meng Ke, you have made a lot of contributions to solving the case this time!" You are specially allowed to order a dish in the evening, although you can rest assured, no matter what the dish will not be difficult for me~! ”

Meng Ke wiped her hands and looked at the photo of Wang Xue's body buried in coarse salt on the whiteboard, there was a dish she really wanted to eat for a long time, and blurted out: "Salt-baked shrimp." ”

Qiao Zhe and He Cheng looked at Meng Ke's line of sight, and then looked at each other: "............" This girl really has a big heart......

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Meng Ke's ears again: "Congratulations on obtaining the 'big heart' certification, which does not add points or deduct points." Your total score is 18 points. ”

What is the use of certification that does not add points or subtract points? Meng Ke said he didn't understand, and then thought of something and asked: "Shouldn't there be a reward for cracking the case?" ”

"If you solve the first case, you can indeed get 10 points."

"Then ............" Meng Ke suddenly realized that if it wasn't for the system failure, then the case was not over at all.

He Cheng brought the last dish to the table, sat down on the main seat and began to speak: "Today's dinner, the first is to welcome the two new members of our group, Meng Ke and Luo Feng!" Second, it's to celebrate that we've solved another case, come and come and toast! ”

Seeing that everyone was empty, He Cheng hurriedly beckoned: "Come on, come on, everyone move the chopsticks quickly." ”

Luo Feng looked at the salt-baked shrimp in front of him and said he was very confused: "Team leader...... Why do you want to make this dish? "After this case, everyone is sensitive to salt and pickled things.

He Cheng understood what he meant: "Don't look at me, this dish was ordered by Meng Ke." After speaking, I saw Meng Ke clipping a shrimp into his bowl, and he didn't realize what was there?

Qiao Zhe then also clipped one: "This case can really make people have an appetite for this dish~Right, Meng Ke~"

Meng Ke smiled politely in response, still thinking about this case in her heart, she carefully recalled a lot of details, there are indeed many doubts in this case that have not been solved, it seems that this celebration banquet was eaten a little early.

After eating, Su Can and Luo Feng were washing dishes in the kitchen, Meng Ke sat next to He Cheng and said his guess, I thought He Cheng would let him not think too much, but who knew that he said: "Actually, I think so too, there are still many doubts at the moment, if Zhang Guifen really just doesn't want his son to die alone, wouldn't it be more relieving to kill Chen Weiwei directly?" Why go to such lengths to kill so many other women and dig out their internal organs? She said 'ritual' when she was in the interrogation room, and she said 'one more yet' when she saw you, and we didn't find the answers. It's a pity that Zhang Guifen's state has no way to provide effective evidence, and she can only go through the closing process first. ”

He Cheng's words surprised Meng Ke, she had been wondering how a single-nerve animal like He Cheng could be the leader of the serious crime team, but now it seems that he is still a careful person.

"You just said that Zhang Guifen said about the 'ceremony' when she was in the interrogation room?" Qiao Zhe crossed his hands to his mouth, obviously thinking of something.

He Cheng lit a cigarette: "That's right, her original words were, 'The ceremony was all ruined by you!'" Did you think of something? ”

"I remember when I sarcastically mocked her, she said, 'I've atoned for my sins!' Retribution is all retribution to the! 'Ritual and atonement, could it be related to some cult ritual?' As soon as Qiao Zhe's words fell, He Cheng frowned, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't say it.

"On the day we caught Zhang Guifen, the village was holding a pig killing and sacrificial activity, and I remember a villager telling me that the goddess Xie at the entrance of the village said that if you can participate less in this kind of thing, you should participate less, otherwise you will have to atone for your sins!" When it comes to the cult, Meng Ke immediately thinks of this sentence.

"Thank you?" He Cheng flicked the cigarette ash and asked.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, it's the woman who danced in the crowd on the day of the pig slaughter!" Meng Ke immediately recalled the woman with heavy makeup.

The three of them looked at each other and immediately got up and walked towards the door.

Luo Feng and Su Can had just finished washing the dishes and walked out, when they saw that they were about to go out, He Cheng said while putting on his coat: "You two go back to the police station first, withdraw the closing process, and the three of us will go to the scene again." ”

The two nodded dumbfounded, completely unaware of what was going on.

Luo Feng looked at He Cheng who was rushing out in a hurry and suddenly laughed, and was inadvertently glimpsed by Meng Ke who turned around, maybe he was He Cheng's admirer, Meng Ke thought so.

The three of them soon arrived at Shanhe Village, and Qiao Zhe still asked about Mrs. Xie's house by releasing her charm. The people in the village have forgotten the name of Lady Xie, only that she is a fortune-telling woman, who has no relatives, and has always lived alone in the somewhat dilapidated two-story building in front of her.

Meng Ke immediately sent a text message asking Su Can to investigate the identity information of this Xie Shenpo from the police comprehensive.

At this moment, it is already nine o'clock in the evening, and the whole building has not turned on a single light, which is even more weird.

"If you don't turn on the lights so late, could it be that no one is home?" Qiao Zhe raised his hand and looked at his watch.

"Maybe they're sleeping, don't all the old people go to bed early?" As he spoke, he took out his flashlight: "No matter what the situation is, we don't have a search warrant, remember to be careful and don't make too much noise." ”

"It's pretty much the same for you to say to yourself." Qiao Zhe patted He Cheng's shoulder.

He Cheng smiled and commanded: "You take Meng Ke to search the second floor, I'll go to the first floor to have a look, and contact me in time if I find it!" The last sentence was obviously for Meng Ke, who nodded again and again, and said that he would never act alone.

Qiao Zhe took the lead and walked in front, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "I feel that you seem to listen to He Cheng's words extraordinarily." ”

Meng Ke's first reaction was to deny it, but thinking of Qiao Zhe's consistent style, he finally decided to give up and admit it: "Yes." ”

"Well...... Like He Cheng very much? Qiao Zhe didn't look at Meng Ke, Meng Ke didn't know why he asked that, but the word like was really unfamiliar to Meng Ke, since she was a child, she had never liked anyone.

"Very respectful." Meng Ke said perfunctorily, I can't tell you that I will be his savior, right?

Qiao Zhe didn't ask anything more, he should have wanted to believe Meng Ke's statement. He climbed the last step and stretched out his hand to signal Meng Ke to pause, making sure that there was no danger around him before motioning for Meng Ke to come up.

"Do you smell anything strange?" Qiao Zhe sniffed it carefully: "Is it the smell of carrion?" ”

"It's not a carrion, it's the smell of cured meat." It's the same taste as Zhang Shufang's house. Meng Ke closed her eyes and focused, then she turned around and walked straight to the first room on the left, Qiao Zhe followed behind her, not ready to let her act alone.

Meng Ke was still wondering why Qiao Zhe was following him, and opened the door while turning his head to signal Qiao Zhe to search separately, the smell of stinky meat was even stronger, Meng Ke turned around, just glanced at it, the whole room was a swaying figure, and before she could see it clearly, her eyes were covered by Qiao Zhe from behind.

"What are you doing here?" In the dark, Meng Ke also broke free from Qiao Zhe's hand.

"Although I know you are very bold, it is better for girls not to see this scene." Qiao Zhe looked at the things in the room and frowned.

"It's okay, trust me." I've long been used to facing these scenarios alone.

Qiao Zhe thought for a moment and slowly removed his hand.

Meng Ke borrowed the light of the flashlight to see a figure in front of him, the reason why it was a swaying figure was because the 20-square-meter room was full of dried female corpses, one after another, dense, and I couldn't count how many corpses there were.

Meng Ke took a closer look, each female corpse was dehydrated with salt, the body was dissected and the five internal organs were removed, and the knife edge was neat, Meng Ke couldn't help but think, could it be Zhang Guifen's hand? Then why is it at Mrs. Xie's house?

Qiao Zhe called for reinforcements, and then looked up to see Meng Ke carefully observing one of the female corpses, stepped forward to pull her out of the room, and closed the door casually: "The corpse will be handed over to the on-site investigators, and we will see if there are any clues in other places." ”

Meng Ke rarely listened to Qiao Zhe's words and followed him to the next room. This room is full of lit candles, as well as burning incense, under the dim light, you can vaguely see layers of charms pasted on the walls, and I don't know which gods are enshrined in the shrine, it looks extremely hideous, although Meng Ke has handled countless cases, but these cases described in the novel, she is really unheard of, and her scalp is a little numb, and she constantly sighs in her heart that Meng Ran's imagination is really powerful, and what she gave is just a simple case, In his novel, it turned out to be such a complicated murder case.

Qiao Zhe looked at the incense burner in front of the shrine: "The incense has just been lit, and she should not have been out for long." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise from the first floor.

"It should be He Cheng, I'll take a look, you can see if there are any other clues here, the support will arrive soon." Saying that, Qiao Zhe pulled out a pistol from his back waist and handed it to Meng Ke: "Remember how to use it, right?" ”

Meng Ke's current identity is still an intern, so she doesn't have a gun for the time being, this gun is the same as the model she uses in reality, it is DP51, and she is so familiar that she can assemble it with her eyes closed. But she still took it cautiously: "There should be no problem, but what should you do?" ”

Qiao Zhe smiled: "Are you caring about me?" ”
