Chapter 11: The Bones of Twenty Years Ago
"Some time before the accident, she told me that she seemed to be entangled by someone, and she sent harassing messages and harassing phone calls, which made her anxious and in a very bad state." Xia Baiyan spread his hands, "But I didn't expect her to die directly in two days." ”
Yang Wenbin frowned, "Didn't you say that Xie Fengming is your best friend?" Why don't I look sad at all when I look at you. ”
As a result, Xia Baiyan blinked and gave Yang Wenbin an unexpected answer.
"Why should I be sad?"
Yang Wenbin looked at the man in disbelief, "But...... Are you friends? ”
Xia Baiyan tilted his head, "Why should you be sad when your friend dies?" ”
Yang Wenbin opened his mouth, suddenly thought of something, and said, "...... You are an antisocial personality. ”
"Bingo!" Xia Baiyan said happily, "It seems that you are still quite smart, doctor, and you deserve to be a doctor who can solve cases!" ”
Such a person made Yang Wenbin shudder a little, especially now that Yan Junli was not by his side, he was really a little worried about dealing with such a person face-to-face.
Yan Junli...... I don't know what happened to his investigation.
But he took advantage of himself! Thinking of this, Yang Wenbin was angry again. More of him is just an extra gun. He didn't believe that he would not be able to move an inch without a weapon, and reasoning about the detective thing was not to rely on his brain.
"Doctor Yang! What a daze! After only a while, Xia Baiyan had already jumped to a high place and waved at Yang Wenbin, "Come up!" ”
Yang Wenbin held an umbrella and complained bitterly.
"Cripple, go! I've got good stuff for you. Xia Baiyan still had a little conscience, stretched out his hand and pulled Yang Wenbin, and climbed up the mountain happily.
Yang Wenbin was inexplicable, so he could only reluctantly follow Xia Baiyan and climb the mountain little by little. Nowadays, there are not many red maple trees on the red maple mountain, and the construction after the government's renovation, coupled with the red maple garden transplanting the maple trees on the mountain, now there is only barren land on the mountain, messy gravel, and it looks like a bird does not. A little deeper, there are more dense woods, which seem to have grown after transformation.
Xia Baiyan was nimble like a cat and deftly drilled through the gaps between trees, but Yang Wenbin was not so vigorous, he limped through the dense bushes, and was scratched by the branches on his side from time to time.
"What the hell is it?" Yang Wenbin shouted from a distance, "Have we arrived?" ”
If this bastard doesn't show himself something useful, Yang Wenbin swears that he will never skimp on the second fist.
"Here we are." Xia Baiyan suddenly stopped, and Yang Wenbin, who was following behind, almost ran headlong.
There were still a mess of branches and wet leaves, and I didn't see any difference at all.
"Look at your feet." Xia Baiyan reminded.
Yang Wenbin lowered his head suspiciously following his gaze, but was startled by the scene in front of him.
On the ground in front of the two of them, a piece of buried white bones was revealed. Near a large tree, half a skeleton was exposed, and the black hole was staring at the two people blankly. From the skull's downward position, the shoulders, chest, and limbs were faintly recognizable. This is a human corpse that has been dead for many years.
"This ...... This is ......" Yang Wenbin didn't say anything for a while, "Who is this?" ”
Xia Baiyan squatted down in front of the skeleton without fear, picked up the soil with his hands, and held the skull in his hand and played with it like a toy.
"Doctor Yang, come and see." Xia Baiyan showed the skull to Yang Wenbin, "Do you think this head is stranger than other heads?" ”
Yang Wenbin glanced at Xia Baiyan with some fear, and then put his eyes on the skeleton and looked at it carefully. It soon became clear that the face of the skull had collapsed, and instead of the normal collapse of the decay, it had been corroded by something.
Yang Wenbin was a little reluctant to think in that direction, and said, "People have been dead for so long, as long as the soil contains acidic substances, it will corrode bones." ”
"If that were the case, the face of the skull and the back of the head would be corroded to the same extent." Xia Baiyan raised his chin to indicate this obvious fact.
Yang Wenbin fell silent and looked at the skeleton again.
"Sulfuric acid was poured on its face." Xia Baiyan said, "Dr. Yang, this is a victim in a serial murder case that the police did not know. ”
Yang Wenbin didn't think about it, he put his hand in his pocket and was about to take out his mobile phone, "I have to tell Yan Junli about this!" ”
Xia Baiyan's eyes were quick, he threw down the skeleton, clamped Yang Wenbin's wrist, and narrowed his eyes with a threatening meaning, "No!" ”
Yang Wenbin turned his head and looked at Xia Baiyan fixedly, "Xia Baiyan, are you sure?" This is a blatant violation of the law, and the evidence is in front of you, but you told me not to report it? ”
In just two seconds, Xia Baiyan regained his hippie smile and immodest appearance, he let go of Yang Wenbin's hand and raised his hands in surrender, "Doctor Yang, I didn't mean that. Of course, you can tell the officer, but don't let him send the police. ”
"Why?"
"Didn't I say that? Don't look at the sparsely populated area, the news spreads quickly. Xia Baiyan pursed his mouth, "You think, you didn't find this corpse, but the murderer didn't want you to find it." What if you find the body and the murderer knows? ”
"Will you be afraid?"
"Wrong! Miss by a mile! Xia Baiyan shook his head and said, "The murderer is afraid that he will be exposed, and he will only speed up his plan, he will kill the people he plans to kill one by two, so as to pack up his belongings and escape quickly!" ”
"How do you know he's going to kill again?" Yang Wenbin asked in a deep voice.
"He's killed three people since twenty years ago, what makes you think he's going to stop killing?" Xia Baiyan raised his chin and said confidently.
Yang Wenbin was speechless, looking at the mobile phone in his hand with some hesitation.
When he came out of Xie Fengming's neighbor's house, it was already dusk, and Yan Junli's mind was still wandering with the information provided by the young man just now. Suddenly, his stomach screamed, and he remembered that he had been busy all day, and he didn't have time to eat dinner.
At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, Yan Junli took it out and laughed when he saw it, and pressed the connect button.
"Hello?" Yang Wenbin's clean voice came from the phone.
Yan Junli cleared his throat and said seriously, "This is Captain Yan's phone, Captain Yan can't talk to you temporarily due to busy official business and bad mood, if you have any urgent matters, please leave a message after the drop." ”
