Chapter 2 Keys

Bai Yanliang was silent, turning his head slightly to look out of the car window.

The bright sunlight shines on every corner of the city, and it seems that even the tiniest speck of dust can be seen clearly.

"Thank you, Uncle Yang."

"What are you talking about, silly boy." Yang Wanlong couldn't hold back after all, and took an unlit cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and had a dry addiction.

"It's been ten years." Bai Yanliang's voice was very soft, he quietly looked at the rows of high-rise buildings, Yecheng has changed a lot compared to ten years ago.

However, there are always things that have not changed.

"Uncle Yang, why do you always believe that the case of the researcher ten years ago has nothing to do with me?"

Bai Yanliang finally retracted his gaze and looked at Yang Wanlong, who was concentrating on driving the car.

"Tsk...... I have to say why. Yang Wanlong stretched out his right hand and scratched the back of his head, "It should be that I saw similar cases when I was a child." ”

"When Uncle Yang was a child?" Bai Yanliang thought about many possibilities, such as what clues Yang Wanlong had found, but he never thought of this reason.

This middle-aged criminal policeman is forty-two years old, and his childhood was at least thirty years ago, and the case was thirty years ago......

"Well, that kid suffered a similar experience to you, but that time, I witnessed it with my own eyes." Yang Wanlong finally lit the cigarette, and from the rearview mirror, Bai Yanliang saw that Yang Wanlong's pupils were shrinking slightly, as if he had thought of something that frightened him.

What can make a middle-aged criminal police officer who is accustomed to all kinds of bizarre murders show a look of fear?

Bai Yanliang was a little curious.

"At that time, I was nine years old, my family was poor, I went to school for half a day, and I herded cattle for half a day, and that afternoon, as usual, I went to the hillside to herd cattle, and then ...... I witnessed a bizarre murder. Yang Wanlong's hands were trembling slightly, obviously although more than ten years had passed, not only had that incident not been forgotten with the passage of time, but it was like an old wine that had been cellared for many years, and the aroma could be smelled before the mud was unsealed.

"Yang Erwa in the village tore his father Yang Laocheng alive with his hands on the mountain! I still remember him as he was, his face twisted and his movements strange, like a ...... It's like being possessed by a demon. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Wanlong extinguished the cigarette, swallowed his saliva, and seemed to feel a little dry.

Bai Yanliang also saw that his lips were dry and white.

"I don't know why people have so much strength to tear a person apart alive? Yang Laocheng's hands, feet and fingers were thrown everywhere by Yang Erwa, and the meat on his body was torn off piece by piece, I hid behind the cow, so scared that I didn't dare to come out, and the cow didn't want to run home quickly. ”

"And then?"

"Later...... Yang Erwa was arrested, and when he was arrested, he was exactly the same as you were back then, with a dull expression, sitting in his father's corpse in a daze, not crying, not laughing, and not answering questions. Later, I heard that the boy had hanged himself in prison. Yang Wanlong glanced at Bai Yanliang in the rearview mirror, but he couldn't see anything from Bai Yanliang's expression.

"So, Uncle Yang is afraid that I will also commit suicide, so he takes time out to visit me in the psychiatric hospital every year, right?" Bai Yanliang asked with a smile.

"Sort of." Yang Wanlong was noncommittal.

Bai Yanliang knew what Yang Wanlong wanted to ask, how could a human being have so much strength to tear apart a complete person?

Although a fruit knife was found at the scene in Bai Yanren's case, it ...... Can a minor child do such a terrible act of dismemberment with a small fruit knife?

What's more, judging from the condition of the scene and the subsequent autopsy report, Bai Yanren's body did not look like it was cut open with a sharp weapon, but ...... Teared alive by an irresistible force......

This is almost the same as the case that Yang Wanlong witnessed when he was a child, Bai Yanliang seems to be the same as Yang Erwa, the one who suddenly went crazy and then killed his loved ones.

Bai Yanliang also wanted to know what was going on, but ...... He really didn't remember anything about it.

In his mind, there was not a single memory of the crime scene.

"By the way, your brother is the same as Yang Laocheng, although he was confirmed dead, his head is missing." Yang Wanlong suddenly said, "I haven't found it until now." ”

Yang Wanlong glanced at Bai Yanliang seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

"Grinding people's heads?" Bai Yanliang didn't know the news.

"Well, you two guys searched the rental house and didn't find it, and the sewers and trash cans of several streets nearby also rummaged through, but nothing was found."

“……”

Bai Yanliang was silent.

Yang Wanlong didn't say anything more, and drove without saying a word.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a relatively upscale neighborhood.

"Wait for me here, uncle, go park."

Bai Yanliang nodded, took his luggage and got off the station at the gate of the community.

Banyan Garden Community.

Bai Yanliang glanced at the name of the community, it seems to be a relatively prosperous block, next door is the famous commercial center in Jiangbei District, Yecheng, pedestrian street, entertainment city everything.

didn't wait long, Yang Wanlong came back soon.

The two of them walked one after the other to a 30-story residential building with their luggage.

"That's it, your aunt died early, a big house only I live in with my two daughters, the eldest daughter goes to college in Jiangnan District and doesn't come back on weekdays, and now there are only me and Yang Yiyi at home, she is also in her third year of high school this year, busy with her studies, and she doesn't go home until nine o'clock in the evening." Yang Wanlong said as he pressed the elevator button on the eighteenth floor.

Bai Yanliang listened quietly, and when he talked about his two daughters, Yang Wanlong's tone was obviously a little higher, obviously he was very kind to the two daughters.

Although he didn't say anything, Bai Yanliang still made the decision to find a job and leave Uncle Yang's house as soon as possible, after all, he was not a relative, Uncle Yang was busy with work, and it was too bad to stay at home with other people's daughters for a long time.

"Come in."

While talking, the two of them had reached the eighteenth floor.

Yang Wanlong opened the door and turned on the light in the living room.

"Feel free to sit down, I'll go and give you your brother's things."

Bai Yanliang nodded and looked around the room.

With three bedrooms and one living room, about 120 square meters, it is already a very good family in the industrial city where every inch of land is valuable.

"Yes, your brother was a private investigator ten years ago, and he seemed to be investigating some business before he died, but it has little to do with his case, you see, this is the work information left by your brother, and this." As he spoke, Yang Wanlong handed over an object.

Bai Yanliang first took the documents, and then picked up the small objects handed over by Yang Wanlong.

He only felt that his palms were cold, and when he looked away, he was stunned.

"Keys?"

What is the key to this place?

Seeing his puzzled expression, Yang Wanlong also spread his hands: "I don't know, no one has tried what it can open." ”

Bai Yanliang pinched the key, and when he looked closely, it was silver all over, with a round hollow and carved mysterious pattern on one end, and three small dots on the other.

It can be seen that although it is exquisitely made, it looks a little old, and this is not the key to a modern door lock.

Bai Yanliang frowned slightly, he didn't know why, holding this delicate but extremely strange key, there was a strange palpitation in his heart, like ...... What was turned on the same.
