At this time, Xu Jianglun's phone rang again, he quickly pressed the connect button, and when he put it down, his eyes were fixed on Gao Cheng again: "The trace expert obtained a mark at the scene, which was engraved on the tree at the scene of the crime. ”

"What mark?" I was really sensitive to the word "mark", so I asked first before Gao Cheng could speak.

Xu Jianglun had a solemn face, "It is suspected that the LMK three English letters mark." A handwriting expert has been called in, and the Director told us to rush over immediately. ”

This time, I also looked at Gao Cheng, it was about the child, and the English mark was reappeared, and he couldn't leave it alone.

Seeing me look at him, his dark eyes turned back to stare at me and asked, "Do you want me to go?" I lowered my eyes slightly and fixed my gaze on his chin: "I'm just informing you that if you don't want to go up to Tiger Cliff Mountain, then I have to be an apprentice." ”

"Apprentice?" Gao Cheng raised his tone coldly, and said with a smile: "It seems that someone said a while ago that the master-apprentice relationship was terminated. ”

I tilted my head and glanced at him, "The recording is proof!" It was you who taught me to speak with evidence. ”

Silence.

Xu Jianglun next to him looked inexplicable, and didn't understand what we were arguing about, and even the little boy looked at us with tears.

A sneer broke the silence, and Gao Cheng suddenly reached over and gently lifted my chin with his fingertips, forcing me to look up slightly to look at him, and for a moment I felt that he was acting frivolously, but I heard him say, "It's good that you have learned to take me into an army." As for you and me, I have always had the final say, but," he smiled lightly and took his fingers, "I'll eat your hard and soft set, let's go, go up the mountain." ”

Almost instantly, my face turned red and my chin seemed to burn. And the perpetrator had already jumped over me and walked towards the child, paused, and jumped directly to the police car. I reacted and immediately stepped forward to tell the boy: "You go home first, the gallery will not be left alone for the time being." Xiao Tong shook his head: "Sister Xia, I'm going too." ”

I went to see Xu Jianglun, he touched his head and said, "According to the procedure, the family will go to the scene to identify the body and confirm the identity." ”

In this case, I wrapped my arms around Xiao Tong's shoulders and walked towards the police car, Xu Jianglun wanted to speak on the side and stopped: "Xia Zhu, you are ...... with Gao sir" Turning his eyes slightly, seeing that he was a little depressed, I pursed my lips and shook my head, but even I didn't know what to express, but his eyes lit up and there was a smile in his eyes.

Looking back, the sight of Gao Cheng, who was already sitting in the car, was not my illusion, and there was a touch of coolness in his eyes. The air pressure in the carriage all the way to Huya Mountain was low, and it seemed that everyone's heart was pressed with a boulder, and the child's tears never stopped, sobbing softly.

Huya Mountain is an undeveloped mountain, and it is almost uninhabited until the cold weather in December. Driving along the road to the mountain, looking at the treetops and grass beside the road are wet and seeping with water droplets, I can't help but add a layer of haze to my heart, the rain last night really came at an inopportune time.

When I arrived at the place of the incident, as soon as I parked, I saw Zhang Jihan striding with a cold face, nodded slightly, and said directly to Gao Cheng: "The handwriting expert identification results have come out, and the two marks are from the same person." The forensic doctor conducted a preliminary examination and tentatively confirmed that the body was a woman, and the identity of the deceased's family had to be confirmed after they were identified at the scene. ”

Xu Jianglun pointed to Xiao Tong when he heard this: "I brought it, she is Tong Ziqi's sister." ”

Immediately, two criminal policemen came over and wanted to lead the child over to identify the body, but after the child got out of the car, he seemed to be in a trance, staring at the scene that had been cordoned off, and his body trembled. I muttered and asked, "Can I come with her?" ”

Zhang Ji glanced at me and told his team members in a deep voice: "Take them over." ”

By the time I crossed the cordon around the child's shoulders, her legs were weak, and a white cloth covering the corpse was particularly glaring not far away. And when the white cloth was lifted, the scream pierced the sky, and the child's eyes softened backwards. Don't blame her for reacting like this, it's really ...... Even my heart fluttered at the sight of the charred wreckage, yes, the wreckage.

It wasn't a complete corpse at all, the left arm had been severed by Qi Gen, and the body had been burned to the point of being almost skeleton. How can children recognize this? The photo I saw in Gaocheng's computer that night inexplicably surfaced in my mind, which was also a charred corpse, decomposed limbs, and the two phases actually had similarities.

The child slowly woke up after being pinched, even if it was cruel, the procedure that should be taken had to be followed. Suddenly, the child let out a wail, his eyes stared at the corpse's leg, and cried: "My sister's foot was broken not long ago, and the nail has not yet been taken." ”

Everyone's eyes turned to the corpse's leg, and it was very obvious that the steel nails were out of the way, and someone confirmed: "It's two?" The boy nodded, crying almost out of breath. After the identification, a policewoman came over and asked us to sit in the car, and there were relevant records to be made.

Although I was worried about the child's emotional instability, I had another thing in mind.

There is a kind of person who shines even if he is drowned in the crowd, and this person is Gao Cheng. The aura where he is is overwhelming everything, even if he is surrounded by the criminal police, it is difficult to hide his figure and momentum.

When I got closer, I found that the crowd was gathered in front of a tree, and next to it was the burned cart, which was obviously carved with the mark. This is also what I have been thinking about in the bottom of my heart, obviously Wu Yan's case has been closed, even if I haven't found out who the marker is, it should become an unsolvable mystery with the end of the case, how can it suddenly reappear on this Tiger Cliff Mountain? Is there any connection between the two cases?

"Go and ask Xia Zhu to come over!" A deep command interrupted my meditation. When I looked up, I saw a few eyes fall on me, and someone immediately said, "It's here." Then the other side took the initiative to get out of the way, the blocked line of sight was opened, Gao Cheng looked sideways, and said calmly: "Don't come yet?" I was stunned and immediately ran forward, but I was still not used to everyone's attention, and my cheeks were slightly red.

When he got to him, he pointed to a place in the tree: "Take a look, give me the answer." ”

My attention was drawn by the notch on the tree, which was much more neat than the one I had found under the table that night, the same two letters l and k were legible, and the middle seemed to be deliberately blurred. I stretched out my hand, and a sneer came from the side: "Don't touch! But he ignored it, and instead fixed his hand on the periphery of the notch and closed his eyes.

The sensation came very quickly, and immediately in my mind was a white-gloved hand holding a sharp object to draw on the tree, and as he did it, my fingers followed suit. One vertical and one horizontal, pause, empty distance, return to the middle after carving k...... The video stopped, and Gao Cheng was heard asking in his ear, "Is there an answer?" ”

I opened my eyes and fixed my eyes on his face, "I don't understand why he carved the first and last letters and then carved the middle one, does it mean ...... The most important one in the middle? But it destroys it after it is engraved, is it trying to cover up that it is not actually m? ”

There was silence, all eyes were on me, and after a few seconds, a questioning voice appeared: "How did you come to your conclusion?" On what basis? I turned my gaze, it was a middle-aged police officer, wearing a different uniform from the criminal police, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, it should be the handwriting expert, the eyes behind the lenses are very sharp.

Lowering his eyes once again landed on the mark on the tree, and said softly, "Brushstrokes." I'm a painter, and what I'm most familiar with is the brushstrokes of patterns. ”

I began to agree with Gao Cheng's point of view, the image just now did not come out of thin air, it was the reflection of the image that I first had a visual identification, and closed my eyes to discard the interference of the outside world. The message that the notch marks in front of my eyes directly hit me was the sequence of brushstrokes, and the refracted image of the scene before was a large-scale reflection of the image.

At this time, Gao Cheng spoke: "It is up to her judgment." Now I want you to decipher the word in the middle, how many minutes will it take? ”

The former sentence is addressed to the multitude, and the latter sentence is addressed to me. I pursed my lips and replied, "Ten minutes." ”

"Okay, we'll see."

Under his leadership, all the people around the trees dispersed, and I was the only one left to stare at the present. It was about my field of expertise, and I was mentally confident, but I still felt nervous, and as the minutes passed, my palms were sweating. I was so focused that when a cry suddenly pierced my ears, I was startled, and I couldn't keep my feet slippery and my body lost balance.

The burned place of the car was originally on the cliff bush, and the marked tree was on the edge of the cliff. When I slipped and fell, the speed was so fast that I didn't have time to catch anything, but I could only be glad that it wasn't that kind of cliff, the trees and grass were overgrown, and I stopped my body after sliding down for a while, but it was already a body distance from the top.

I was about to call for help when I suddenly noticed something in the grass, reached out to pick it up, and then my breathing stopped. opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound, his hand was trembling, and Tong Ziqi's missing hand was found......

"Natsutake?" Xu Jianglun's shout came from the top of his head, and when he looked up and saw his anxious face, he still found me first. But I didn't expect him to suddenly jump down, and when he rolled down beside me, he reached out and grabbed him, and snorted, and then I realized that just an inch below my feet was a flower snake with a triangular head spitting out snake letters.

Xu Jianglun grabbed the snake body with his bare hands, but the seemingly extremely thin flower snake didn't want to be very long, and when he wanted to shake it off, his arm was already wrapped around his body and turned his head. His heart sank, Xu Jianglun grabbed the wrong part, it was not the seven inches of the snake, the distance was ...... It was too late, and my hand was bitten.

By the time we were rescued back to the cliff, Xu Jianglun's condition was not good. The back of the hand is black and swollen, and the toxin invades so fast that it is unimaginable, and even the face is black. I watched him be carried away with a pale face, the accident came too suddenly, and a familiar voice came from my ears: "Tell me about the process of your fall just now." ”

Turning his eyes to look at Gao Cheng's eyes, he felt a kind of fragility, and asked, "He'll be fine, right?" ”

"The criminal police will carry professional medical personnel to handle cases, even if the medical equipment is insufficient, but the serum antitoxin is still available. Although the snake venom is violent, it is not to the point of seeing blood and sealing the throat. ”

A few words, enough to comfort my heart, this is the most favorite thing I have ever heard in Gao Cheng. <
