Chapter 8: The Corpse I

Hearing the poppy's ridicule, Yan Junli and Li Hong couldn't help but laugh "poof", and Wen Bin glared at the two of them angrily.

"But I don't think there's anything wrong with your reasoning." "It's really weird.

"You're interested in the murders at the manor." Yan Junli said.

"No, I'm just interested in your doctor."

As he spoke, Poppy glanced at Yang Wenbin, changed to a more comfortable position, leisurely cocked Erlang's legs, and poured some tea for the cup in front of him.

"It's just now."

"What?"

"Police interrogation." Poppy picked up the teacup and blew gently, "Last night, you deliberately let Yang Wenbin live with me, you didn't act as a matchmaker for him, you just wanted to ask me through Yang Wenbin's mouth, but unfortunately, he didn't get anything out of me." So you're going to go into battle yourself today, right? ”

"Since you're so polite, I'm not going to beat around the bush." Yan Junli sat down opposite the poppy, leaning forward slightly to look into her eyes, "You don't think that you participated in such a big crime at the beginning, and you can get out of the way after making such a big incident, right?" Do you know how many people in the city want your head after the skull incident? They don't care who you really are. ”

"However, my head is still attached to my neck, which says something." Poppy replied lazily, "I have the ability to get out of the way, thank you Officer Yan for your concern." ”

"But you should know you're playing with fire. So far you've been acting alone, and I haven't found any companions of yours. You're going to get into trouble sooner or later, but if you trust us, at least I can protect you as a police officer. ”

"Wow, that's sweet." Poppy folded his arms and looked at Yan Junli and said, "But let's open the skylight and say something, the purpose of your offering such tempting conditions is nothing more than to get information about the 'clown' from my mouth, right?" ”

"What?" Yan Junli was choked by this sentence, "How can you think so!" Even if I guess that's not my main purpose......"

"The clown's information is my country's major confidential information, and it is impossible for me to tell you if you want to know." Before Yan Junli finished speaking, Poppy unceremoniously interrupted him and said indifferently.

Yan Junli looked at Yang Wenbin with an accusatory look, and his eyes seemed to say, "How can this woman be so unreasonable?" ”

"Still." Poppy paused, then added, "If you can help me find that 'key,' maybe things will be different." ”

"Uh...... Key? Li Hong was obviously at a loss and was not in the situation.

"A string of code that can enter the clown organization's internal network." Yang Wenbin explained succinctly.

"This 'key' is so important, we have spent more than ten years researching this organization, and if we can't find the key, many efforts will be in vain." "So if you're willing to help, I might tell you something, including the part that you want to know the most, Dr. Yang." ”

Yang Wenbin was stunned, "Me? ”

Poppy nodded, "About why the clown has always been targeting you." ”

As night fell on the deserted countryside, the stars twinkled in the void, and the silence spread through the air like a precursor to a storm.

"Strict team, strict team!"

Yan Junli felt in his sleep in a daze that Li Hong was shaking his shoulders.

“…… What's wrong? ”

"Team Yan, wake up." Li Hong, who came into view, had an anxious expression, "Doctor Yang is gone!" ”

Yan Junli turned over and wanted to continue sleeping, "Let's go to the toilet." ”

"Oh, no!" Li Hong shook Yan Junli even more, "I've searched the bathroom, toilet, and hall, but there is no shadow of him!" ”

Yan Junli immediately jumped up from the bed when he heard this, "Jing will make trouble for people!" ”

The two turned over the two-story inn, and after making sure that Yang Wenbin was not there, Yan Junli took out his mobile phone and dialed it out.

Fortunately, this time Yang Wenbin answered the phone very simply, "Hey? ”

"Hey, what about you?" Yan Junli said angrily, "You thought about charging your phone this time." ”

Yang Wenbin on the other end of the phone didn't know what he was doing, his voice was mixed with heavy wheezing, and he even heard a few dog barks mixed with background sounds, "I'm under the bell tower at the back of the manor, just right, I need your help, come over quickly." ”

After speaking, Yang Wenbin hung up the phone, Yan Junli took the phone and said angrily, "Hey? Feed...... No, he thinks I'm something! ”

However, complaining is complaining, and people still have to find it. Yan Junli and Li Hong immediately got dressed and went out, looked in the direction Yang Wenbin said, and sure enough, they found the bell tower he said in the deepest part of the Rose County Manor.

Under the cover of night, everything in this countryside seems to be different, the stone road reflects the dark moonlight sporadically, and the narrow stone bridge at night is not at all like the daytime, and the turbulent and dark water under the bridge is very terrifying. Passing through a low wood, the old bell tower stood like a giant monster in the darkness, and behind it was a black and treacherous hill, with its jagged peaks, faint and dark due to the distance.

Yan Junli and Li Hong trotted all the way through the manor, and the sound of dogs barking came from the depths of the manor, and they strode over without hesitation and came to the bottom of the deepest and most inconspicuous bell tower in the manor. Soon, the two of them saw a distinct beam of light in the darkness, and that beam of light quickly shone towards them.

"I'm here!" Yang Wenbin shook the flashlight in his hand. He stood at the foot of the bell tower, his clothes dirty, and his shoes covered in mud. He was holding a snow-white Labrador in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and surprisingly two shovels lay at his feet.

"My ancestor, what kind of play are you singing?" Yan Junli was inexplicable.

Then Yang Wenbin picked up the two shovels and threw one over to Yan Junli and Li Hong, "Come over, hurry up and help, huh." ”

Li Hong caught the shovel inexplicably, "Huh? Is it going to dig something? ”

Yang Wenbin nodded and replied succinctly, "Dig up the corpse." ”

Li Hong was so frightened that he almost didn't stand firm, "Corpse? ”

"You've found the body?" Yan Junli asked.

Yang Wenbin nodded, "At first, I always thought that my own reasoning was in the wrong direction, but in order to determine what was going on, I managed to sneak into the backyard tonight to take a closer look, and I found that my reasoning was not wrong. I found this from the dirt that had been turned upside down. Yang Wenbin took out an inconspicuous button from his pocket and put it in the light of the flashlight, "Can you see the blood stains on this?" Yes, this should be on Meng Yangping's clothes. The body was indeed buried in the back garden, but for unknown reasons, it was turned out and buried elsewhere, probably because the murderer also felt that it was too unsafe to hide in the back garden. Even so, I don't think the murderer would bury the body too far, because the murderer is also a member of the Rose County Manor, and if he drags the body too far, he will definitely be detected. Then I wandered around the manor alone for a long time, and found this inconspicuous bell tower, which must have been abandoned for a long time, very secretive and difficult to notice, and it is said that no one has been here for a long time. But I found footprints in the weeds in front of me, and if we're lucky, we might be able to extract a range of shoe sizes. Then I took a lot of trouble and borrowed a dog with a sharp nose and two shovels from the surrounding residents......"

"Wait, wait, wait." Yan Junli interrupted Yang Wenbin's words and said with a headache, "You? A person with inconvenient legs and feet, who didn't sleep in the middle of the night, came out and ran here and there alone, and took two shovels to dig up the body himself? ”

"yes, yes." Yang Wenbin nodded seriously.

"Why don't you go to heaven!" Yan Junli felt that his soul was about to be angry.

"But I can't let that Yuan Chengze always think I'm a god and a liar, right?" Yang Wenbin rolled his eyes.

"And you-"

"Okay, okay," Yang Wenbin waved his hand, "It's not too late to go back and listen to your nagging, there is more important work in front of us." I'll give you a flashlight, and I'll trouble you when I dig it. ”

Yan Junli shook his head helplessly, picked up the guy in his hand, and went down with a shovel.

The soil is not very hard, and it seems that the murderer is not very patient, and the two of them have only been digging for about ten minutes, and Li Hong let out an "ah".

"Team Yan, there are maggots on the shovel."

"It's coming." After Yan Junli finished speaking, as soon as he shoveled down, he felt that he had touched a foreign object.

It didn't take long for the three of them to work together to drag the two bodies out. Due to the time of death, parts of the corpse's skin have begun to decay and stink, and maggots wriggle in these locations.

"Really...... Disgusting ......" Li Hong dragged the corpse and turned his head away.

"Be careful, don't break the corpse!" Yan Junli was no better, covering his nose with one hand and pulling hard with the other, the two of them worked together to finally drag the two corpses up.

Although the corpse had been decomposed to the point of a blur of flesh and blood, it could still be seen that the corpse's expression was definitely not peaceful, as if it had died in extreme fear.

"Alright." Yan Junli breathed a sigh of relief, stuck the shovel into the dirt on the side, and slapped the dust on his clothes, "Now we can call Officer Yuan and tell him that this time it's a real corpse." ”
