Luofeng Village.

A yellow cordon has been set up around the cattle pen, and several police cars are parked next to it. The captain of the criminal police, Qi Yuanchang, crossed his hands in front of his chest, frowned, and silently stared at the corpse lying at his feet.

It's a young man in his twenties. The jeans and shirt were completely soaked in blood and had turned black. He fell to the ground on his back, mouth wide open, crooked teeth clearly loosening. His hands were bent upward, still tense before death.

The fatal wound came from the head. There was a huge and shocking incision where the powdery brain could be seen. There was also a bloody hoe thrown on the ground next to it.

Through the back of the police car isolated by the steel wire, a sluggish and dejected face can be seen.

It was one of the village guards, and he used this hoe to kill the cattle thief.

The crowd of onlookers was dense, and the sound of gossip was everywhere. Although some reinforcements have been withdrawn from the bureau, they can only barely maintain order.

"Ge saw that the one sleeping on the ground was the cattle thief. I was killed last night, and I deserved it. ”

"Which one is it? Ge is Xiao Yong? ”

"Yes! Oh, Ge see, the police have been arrested by Xiao Yong and locked up in the car. Nima, speaking of which, the police came late, if Xiao Yong didn't do it, the thief might have to run away. Well, people are dead, and trouble is coming. ”

In the open space on the side of the police car, the party secretary and village chief of Luofeng Village are arguing with the police who are handling the case.

"Comrade, this matter should not be the fault of our villagers. He came in and stole something, can't we still do it? ”

"Comrade policeman, you didn't see what happened last night. This cattle thief is really fierce! One person knocked over dozens of people in our village, if Xiao Yong hadn't seen the opportunity to smash it with a hoe, I'm afraid he would have run away a long time ago. Judging from both sides of the matter, we are also legitimate defense, and we can't be beaten and not fight back! ”

Huang He walked behind Qi Yuanchang, looked down at the corpse on the ground, and his deliberately lowered voice was full of exclamation: "Team Qi, this guy looks young, how can he be so capable of fighting?" One person knocked out dozens of villagers...... Tut-tut! This kind of combat power, I'm afraid that even a Sanda champion is nothing more than that. ”

Qi Yuanchang's frowning brows did not loosen at all, and he said lightly: "Do you believe what they say?" ”

Huang He was a little stunned, walked around to Qi Yuanchang, and said seriously: "It's impossible for these people in Luofeng Village to lie!" I've seen all the people who were injured and brought to the hospital, and the wounds on their bodies are real. Why, Captain, do you think ......"

"Nope! That was not what I meant. ”

Qi Yuanchang waved his hand very casually: "Of course I know that the matter is true. I also know that a cattle thief did come in last night. But the question is, don't you think the whole thing is too weird? ”

Huang He's eyes widened: "Weird? ”

Qi Yuanchang raised his head and looked at the Yellow River: "Can one person really beat dozens of people?" Don't forget, the village guards who first spotted the cattle thief all said that the young man didn't have any tools or weapons on his hands when he came in. With your bare hands, you face dozens of villagers armed with sticks...... Hehe! Do you think this is a martial arts movie in a movie? ”

Huang He didn't understand. He thought for a few minutes according to what Qi Yuanchang said, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.

"Team, you mean, it's a murder?"

Qi Yuanchang shook his head, closed his eyes, slowly kneaded the upper bridge of his nose with his fingers, and said tiredly: "I can't see through it either." It's just that from the analysis of common sense, this case is too unreasonable. Of course, if a person has received special intensive martial arts training, it is still okay to block ten with one. However, there were no weapons, and in a completely enclosed environment such as a cattle pen, dozens of villagers armed with sticks rushed in, only to be beaten by the other party. This situation is very incredible. At least, this is the first time I've seen it in all my years as a police officer. ”

As he spoke, Qi Yuanchang squatted down and pointed to various parts of the corpse: "Xiao Huang, come over and take a look, this is a bruise caused by a blunt object, and this is a wound caused by a close impact." There is also this one, the knee of the right leg, which was checked by a colleague from the forensic department before, and his bone has been comminuted and fractured. It was clearly the result of a club-type weapon. What is this concept? If it were you, would you still be able to stand up if someone gave you a knee up like that? ”

Without waiting for Huang He to answer, Qi Yuanchang continued: "Don't say that you are an ordinary person, even if you are a superman. If you think about it, we asked the villagers for their confessions before, and everyone said that the cattle thief had never had time to fall down before he had been hit in the head last night. The various scars on his body were dense, and there must have been countless mark marks all over his body during the autopsy. Such a serious injury is that even a man with an iron blow cannot bear it. ”

The expression on Huang He's face became more and more solemn.

He looked at the villagers who were standing on the periphery of the cordon, and said worriedly: "Captain, according to what you say, this should be a case of collective revenge by the villagers, who took too heavy a shot, and eventually led to death?" ”

Qi Yuanchang turned his head, glanced at the line of sight of the Yellow River, and lowered his voice: "On the surface, it should be." But there are still a lot of things in this case that I can't see through. ”

As he spoke, Qi Yuanchang turned around and his eyes fell on the surface of the corpse again: "The deceased has a document on him, and his identity has been checked, and he is a migrant worker in a county on the outskirts of the province." I usually rent a house in another village six kilometers away. No one in Luofeng Village knew him, let alone any disputes. ”

"He said he was stealing cattle, but he behaved very strangely after entering the cattle pen. He bit the skin on the cow's back, hugged the cow's neck and gnawed it, which didn't look like a normal person's behavior. If it weren't for the fact that the movement was too loud, and the cow kept screaming in pain, I am afraid it would not have attracted the attention of the patrol team. ”

"Since it's stealing cattle, you should get out as soon as you get it. Why is it the way it is? Perhaps, the deceased had a history of mental illness? ”

The Yellow River did not speak.

All this is just speculation at the moment. Of course, speculation is also a way to solve a case, but it must be based on a large amount of evidence.

Qi Yuanchang has no evidence for everything he speculated.

He just makes inferences in the direction of the most logical thinking.

However, the more I speculated, the more I found that there were too many unreasonable aspects of the whole case.

Sighing and standing up straight, Qi Yuanchang patted the dust on his body and instructed Huang He: "Notify the family of the deceased first!" In addition, these people in Luofeng Village were recorded separately. If you can find any clues, it would be great. ”

Huang He nodded.

He knew that whenever he said this, it meant that Qi Yuanchang himself had no confidence in solving the case.

Oh, yes! If you steal a cow, you steal a cow, why do you have to start gnawing and biting the cattle in the cattle pen?

Could it be that I am too hungry?

……

All morning, Liu Tianming was dealing with the injuries that had been transferred from the outpatient clinic.

He had carefully observed that most of the wounded had more or less traces of being bitten.

Some are on the arms, some are on the thighs, and some are even on the back.

This also confirms what the Luofeng villager said before———— cattle thieves are really hateful, if you can't beat them, you can bite them, is he a dog!"

After a busy day, doctors and nurses alike feel exhausted. It was already noon, but Liu Tianming had no appetite at all. Watching his colleagues in the office go to the cafeteria to eat, he couldn't help but sit in his chair and fall into deep thought.

Liu Tianming didn't know if there was a connection between what happened in Luofeng Village last night and himself.

However, according to the laws of probability, since the mysterious black patient appeared once and was also admitted by himself and Xiao Wu, it means that there is likely to be a second or third ......

It's no wonder that the middle-aged patient waiting to see a doctor was sneering. One person fights dozens, which is beyond the ability of ordinary people. If there really were such people in the world, then the world would have been in chaos a long time ago.

"What, aren't you hungry?"

A very abrupt voice came from behind him, waking Liu Tianming up from his contemplation. turned around to look, and saw Zheng Xiaoyue, who was holding two lunch boxes in his hand, walking in from the door and handing one of them to Liu Tianming.

Looking at Zheng Xiaoyue, who was smiling and groaning, Liu Tianming was a little embarrassed, and quickly stood up and took the lunch box, turned sideways to make enough space, and pulled an empty chair from the side by the way.

The two men were very close. When Zheng Xiaoyue sat down, her body accidentally touched the back of Liu Tianming's hand. Through the thin nurse's uniform, Liu Tianming felt that his heart suddenly increased, and he also smelled a faint fragrance in his nostrils.

"Today's sweet and sour pork ribs are good, I bought you a copy too."

Zheng Xiaoyue sat down generously, opened the lid of the box and began to eat. As she spoke, she raised her head and glanced at Liu Tianming, and found that the other party was staring at her, very eager and bold. Suddenly, Zheng Xiaoyue's face turned red.

It's an amazing feeling. There is no need to talk to each other, and they can fully understand each other's minds. But no matter what, for girls, they always feel shy.

"What are you looking at?" It's not always a way to stay silent, and although she feels a little embarrassed, Zheng Xiaoyue still breaks the silence.

Liu Tianming replied to the question: "You...... It's so beautiful. ”

When he said this, he remembered the girl who was a year older than him in the anesthesiologist major when he was in his second year of college. At that time, I used to think that she was the most beautiful goddess in the world. Unfortunately, the goddess had no interest in herself at all. After that, Liu Tianming was still in pain for more than half a month...... Now that I think about it, it should be my first love!
