A day later.

The entire Ershan forest was tightly isolated by a Liangzhou garrison of thousands of people, and idle people were not allowed to enter.

More than a dozen forensic doctors in white coats are carefully examining dozens of hunters' corpses at the scene of the crime, verifying their identities and setting up files; Nearly 100 uniformed police officers are conducting carpet searches at the scene, looking for various clues and evidence; A few hundred meters away from the scene of the crime, three teams of hunters who rushed to the scene to carry out the rescue were forcibly separated, and three groups of capable agents conducted detailed interrogations and recorded confessions.

On the small dirt slope near the scene of the crime, three middle-aged men in military uniforms with solemn expressions and a "Star Raider" soldier with the head of an eagle were standing side by side and watching from afar, these four people were Liu Kai, deputy chief police supervisor of Liangzhou, Dong Dawei, deputy general of the Liangzhou garrison, Yu Zhiguo, deputy director of the "Liyuan" Liangzhou Branch, and Nie Bufan, head of the Colonial Armor Warrior Regiment.

"Deputy Yu, what do you think?" Liu Kai handed over the two warheads that were packed in two plastic bags and found in the alloy box, contaminated with a certain substance, and had been deformed, to Yu Zhiguo and asked.

"There are a lot of suspicions, unlike ordinary cases." Yu Zhiguo said in a deep voice, he took the warhead, looked down at his eyes, and handed it to Nie Bufan.

"Did the other hunter teams provide valuable clues?" Nie Bufan took the bullet and asked, he spit out sonorous words, and his vocal cords were as sharp as falcons.

"There was a hunter who reported that he had received the news that the bearded man had caught the 'monster' at 16:50 p.m. on the day of the incident, and compared to other hunters, he got the news the earliest, so it is speculated that the bearded team should have caught the 'monster' between 16 and 16:50, which is the first more valuable clue," Liu Kai said, "The second more valuable clue is that the other hunter teams saw the three red flares fired by the bearded man at about 22 o'clock that night. There is an interval of about five hours in between. ”

"They're walking back?" Dong Dawei asked.

"Well, the nearest road is thirty kilometers away from here, and there is no traffic at all, and there is no transportation nearby, so it is inferred that it is on foot." Liu Kai replied.

"In other words, the exact point of capturing the 'monster' should be within five hours' walk from here." Dong Dawei asked again.

"Yes."

"Did you send someone to find the capture site?" Dong Dawei continued to ask.

"A group of people have been sent to return the search along the same route, and there should be news soon." Liu Kai replied.

"What the hell is this 'monster', and are there any other eyewitnesses?" Yu Zhiguo continued.

"There are no other sightings reported at the moment, but hunters at the time heard that the 'monster' appeared to be a little girl in her early teens." Liu Kai replied.

"A little girl in her early tens?" Everyone thought it was unbelievable, "Is this news credible?" ”

"It has been verified, and the information is accurate and credible," Liu Kai said, "The three hunter teams have three different versions of the confession, but they all invariably mention that the 'monster' seems to be a 'little girl' in her early teens, and these hunters have no motive to collude with each other." ”

"Could this 'monster', or 'little girl', be around when it was captured, or could it be a 'family' or 'guardian'?" Nie Bufan asked.

"It seems that no," Liu Kai asked, "there is no mention in the hunters' confessions that the bearded hunters have seen or come into contact with the 'family', 'guardians', or 'monsters' related to the 'little girl'." ”

Nie Bufan secretly chuckled in his heart: A little girl who doesn't have a 'family' or 'guardian'? But the "insect man" who was explained above to be hunted down seems to be an adult 'person'!

"However, based on various traces of the fight and physical evidence clues at the scene, we deduced that the murderer should not be the 10-year-old girl, but Ling Youyou," Liu Kai said, "It should be the same kind of 'family', 'guardian', or 'monster' related to the 'little girl'." ”

"How?" Nie Bufan's eyes lit up.

"According to the hunters' confessions, if the 'little girl' was really a 'monster', the alloy box should have been used to imprison the 'monster', because we also found several alloy nets used for hunting in the alloy box; Little girl's snatched. Liu Kai said.

"In the alloy box, we also found two deformed warheads, which seemed to be stained with blood or something, presumably left by the 'monster', so we deduced that the 'monster' should have suffered a gunshot wound." Liu Kai continued.

"In addition, this is also a fifth useful clue, which is that all the hunters who died were killed by sharp weapons, including a few hunting dogs, and basically killed them in one hit."

"No gunshot wounds?" Dong Dawei was surprised.

"Nope! The forensic doctor has carefully examined and there is no gunshot wound," Liu Kai looked sure, "so we deduce that the same kind of 'monster' should use a weapon such as a sword." ”。

"All of them are fatal in one hit?" Several people present gasped: what kind of murderer can slash the entire team of hunters, kill them all with one blow, and then retreat in the rain of bullets and bullets of the hunters?

Everyone was silent for a long time, and each of them connected the various clues and evidence information obtained in their minds, and reasoned deductively to restore the entire process of the case, especially Nie Bufan, whose intuition told him that this case was definitely related to the "insect person".

"Has the lockdown order been passed down?" Yu Zhiguo looked at Dong Dawei and Liu Kai.

"It's been passed down," Dong Dawei said, "All the towns and villages within a radius of five hundred kilometers, and all the little girls under the age of fifteen have been checked. ”

"Especially the little girl who has just been injured will be detained as soon as she finds it and report it immediately." Yu Zhiguo added.

Dong Dawei and Liu Kai nodded in agreement, saying that they would explain immediately.

"These two warheads, the blood or substances stained on them, I will definitely be notified when the test results come out." Nie Bufan finally handed the two warheads back to Liu Kai and explained.

"Okay!" Liu Kai responded.

The forest of Ear Mountain is treacherous.

******

The test of the "Pangolin" was temporarily suspended for two days, and the left division explained that it was because the cuirass of the No. 1 "Pangolin" was damaged, and it would take time to repair it.

"No. 1 is damaged, isn't there still No. 2 and No. 3 'pangolins'?" Tu Guhun was puzzled, but he was too lazy to get to the bottom of it, and in the two free days he stayed at home, repeatedly driving the long-tailed comet in the nascent universe to cruise along the second vein of Rendu, carrying out round after round of small Zhou Tian cycles, and each time the cycle was completed, the sea of vitality set off a round of tides, until it set off a monstrous wave.

"Boom!"

In the dormitory, the clouds are steaming and the weather is myriad.

In the evening of the next day, Master Zuo called and asked Tuguhun to go to the "Colorful Hall" for tea.

"Tea?" Tu Gu, who was indulging in the exercises, was disturbed by Master Zuo, and was quite unhappy and wanted to refuse.

"The prince and princess are also here," Master Zuo continued, "and they will arrive at about twenty o'clock, and I will ask Chunmei to invite you." ”

"Okay!" Tugu thought for a moment and agreed to go.

An hour later, the maid Chunmei really came to knock on the door, and the two went out together to the "Colorful" hall.

Just pushed open the luxurious mahogany door of the "Colorful" hall, the fragrance of tea came to the face, in the center of the hall only saw Zuo Shishi alone in the seat pouring himself a drink, she saw Tuguhun and Chunmei come in, so she smiled and beckoned: "Tuguhun, hurry up and come over to drink tea, the new arrival in the big red robe, very fragrant!" ”

Tu Gu Hun chose the seat next to him and sat down, and Master Zuo took a small porcelain cup and poured him a cup, the tea was as colored as amber and fragrant.

"Has the No. 1 pangolin been repaired? Dr. Zuo," Tuguhun pretended to be bitter and said, "You repair it quickly, I will rust after a few days of rest, and I won't be able to measure it in the future!" ”

"Hmph," Master Zuo snorted softly, "I don't know who fainted two days ago, if it weren't for this girl's timely rescue, I'm afraid you would have become a vegetative person now." ”

"Tut-tut, you scholars are amazing, and you can easily take all the credit and hard work into your arms with an understatement, then I have to thank you for saving your life, I will do this cup of tea first!" Tu Guhun put on a grateful face and drank the tea in the small porcelain cup.

"You should be less poor, for the time being, you should eat and drink, and after this while, you will feel better!" The left master poured tea from the empty cup in front of Tu Guhun .

The two of them just joked with each other and greeted each other, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

After half an hour, the mahogany door was pushed open, and a group of attendants surrounded Hao Lian Bobo and Hao Lian Xiaofeng, two royal nobles, and entered side by side.

"What are you talking about, you two are talking so energetically?" Hao Lianbo saw the two people in the seat from a distance, and said with a gentle smile.

Tu Guhun and Zuo Shishi stood up and saluted.

"It's all your own people, you don't have to be polite!" Hao Lianbo waved his hand, then sent his personal attendants and other idlers away, and then motioned for everyone to sit down.

After everyone sat down, Master Zuo placed a small porcelain cup in front of the prince and princess and made hot tea.

"Tu Gu Hu, are you okay?" After sitting down, Hao Lianbo asked with concern.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, I'm in good health," Tugu replied, "I was just stunned that day, and after a two-day rest, I have already relieved myself." ”

"It's okay," Hao Lian Bo said, casually picking up the teacup in front of him and taking a sip, "There are several things to announce tonight, and one of them is closely related to you." ”

"Closely related to me?" Tugu Hun Qi said, "Please make it clear to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Let's talk about the first thing first," Hao Lianbo lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "The underworld is ready to let go of the night ban." ”

Everyone was stunned.

"Good thing! What a good thing! Master Zuo clapped his hands lightly.

"And then," Tuguhun asked, "the opening of the night curfew has a lot to do with me?" ”

"Then I'll say the second thing," Hao Lianbo didn't answer the question immediately, "The Netherworld Club will expand in size in the future, and set up about twenty to fifty arenas that can accommodate more than 1,000 spectators. ”

"Athletics? Cage fighting to competition? Tu Guhun asked.

"Well, it's a competition, not a cage fight, the rules have all changed, and you can't kill people at will in the future." Hao Lian said.

"What about the reward? Or is there only one way to reduce the sentence? Zuo Shishi asked.

"No, the bonus program has increased."

"What's the addition?" Hao Lian Xiaofeng seemed to be extremely thirsty, and drank two cups of hot tea in succession before recovering his strength, and interjected to ask.

"Wine, gambling, and women, these three have been added," Hao Lian Bo said, "This is the third thing to announce tonight." ”

Everyone was speechless for a while.

"Why don't you speak all of a sudden? Do you have any objections? Hao Lianbo glanced at the audience.

"How do I feel that this model prison in our underworld seems to be open to 'pornography, gambling and drugs'," Zuo Shishi asked weakly, "Can it still be called a prison if it is opened?" Change to a red light district! ”

"Poof!" Hao Lian Xiaofeng couldn't help laughing, covered his mouth and smiled, his fingers poked at the left master in the air, and he smiled silently.

"Master Zuo, how did you speak?" Hao Lianbo pretended to be serious, "But there's nothing wrong with what you say, the meaning is actually similar." ”

"Why?" Master Zuo was puzzled, "Could it be that the prisoners in the underworld want to 'correct and return to evil'?" ”

"I'll tell you later." Hao Lianbo said with a look of "disgust".

"So what can I do?" Tu Guhun asked.

"It's not your business," Hao Lianbo said, "wait until I'm done." ”

Hao Lianbo continued: "This 'wine' is, of course, an alcoholic drink, which will be allowed to be sold and drunk in canteens and clubs in the future; What about this 'bet', the 'cage fight' of the Hades Club had handicaps before, but these handicaps were only open to jailers and foremen, but not to prisoners, and they were all open in the future, and ordinary prisoners could also participate and bet. ”
