Chapter 5 Rivers

Sitting with Chu Jianghe again, Fan Li always had a smile. Chu Jianghe used to be the pistachio of the team, although he didn't play much of a role in the First Battle of the Lost City, Fan Li still regarded him as a close friend like his family. And Chu Jianghe seems to have changed a lot, he just smiled at Fan Li, with a little complaint, as if an invisible wall had been cut between them.

"Do you still know the whereabouts of Xiao Yun and Xiao Xiao?" After greeting each other for a while, Fan Li finally asked this question that had been in his mind for a long time. In fact, Fan Li is resistant to this problem, since the destruction of the Lost City, he has not had time to find their whereabouts, and then this matter has been delayed again and again, and it has become a heart disease in Fan Li's heart. He has always felt that he can't live with Xiao Yun's brothers and sisters, Chu Jianghe, and Wang Gaofei. After all, he was in the "ant nest", and it was easy to know their whereabouts, but he didn't take action.

"You also know Xiao Xiao's ability, she is now a rich woman, driving a Lamborghini on the streets and alleys all day long, the social circle has improved not by a level, and she soaks with some noble children all day long, she can't look down on poor ghosts like us at all."

A "poor ghost" in Chu Jianghe completely widened the distance between him and Xiao Xiao, and Fan Li didn't want to ask what happened between them, it must have been a painful experience.

"Alas...... also fulfilled her wish, she has lived a very poor life since she was a child, and it is rare to be rich and noble once, what about Xiao Yun? Fan Lifu put the topic aside.

"Brother Yun...... did not escape the maze of the city. When he said this, Chu Jianghe smiled helplessly, mixed with a kind of disappointment and loss. Fan Li, I'd love to know, you haven't been in touch with us for so long, I thought you, Jialan and Kai Ballet also died in that war, do you know? Your approach is very irresponsible to us, and your departure has also led to Xiao Xiao's change. ”

"I know. I'm sorry, I know it's too late to say anything, but you're still there, Xiao Xiao is still there, Jialan and Kai Crossbow are also there, we will remember Xiao Yun, and then find the story between us. ”

"The previous story can't be recovered, how are Jialan and Kai Crossbow doing?" Chu Jianghe skillfully cuts the steak. He put a piece of medium-rare beef in his mouth and took a sip of red wine, changing his old grinning style.

"Jialan has become an elite agent of the 'Ant Nest', I should be on a mission, I am also an agent of the 'Ant Nest', but I am a scattered person, I never go back to work, you know, I am not suitable for living in a small space. Kai crossbow fell in love with Xie Ling, the first sister of the Water Snake Corridor. She is currently working as a driver. ”

"I'm glad to hear you're doing well, but it seems like our team is really breaking up. By the way, how the hell did you find my phone number? Fan Li knew that Chu Jianghe would ask this sooner or later. He is not good at hiding his brother's affairs, and when he came, he has been thinking about how to tell Jiang He about it, and has never found the most suitable way.

"Your brother...... He is involved in a murder. I happened to be the person in charge of investigating the case, and we found your phone number among the phones he left behind? ”

"What? Did the wind kill someone? Hearing that something happened to his brother, Chu Jianghe immediately put down the fork in his hand. When did it happen? ”

"It was about three days ago. He was seen covered in blood somewhere in the West Side, and then we went to his house to find that he was no longer there, and the hard drive of his computer had been taken with him. ”

"This idiot! I knew it wasn't a good idea for him to make that broken forum, you know, he's been running a broken forum for artists, and he doesn't work well all day, so he thinks about how to vent on the Internet, this time, he's retaliated, alas! How am I going to explain it to his parents? ”

"He's your cousin?"

"That's right, it's my cousin, I've told you before, I guess you've forgotten. I had been engaged in grave activities before, and I didn't have much communication with him, but it was too late to find out that he had such a bad habit, this guy was out of control, he liked to soak in the computer all day long, and he never cared about anything about work and entrepreneurship. ”

"He's really inherited the advantages of your computer master."

"It's a pity that it didn't work in the right place. By the way, Fan Li, tell me the truth, is this matter serious? Everything I know of that involves a murder is not a good thing nine times out of ten! Looking at Chu Jianghe's anxious look, Fan Li actually saw a sense of familiarity, maybe it was such an accident that shortened the distance between them and made Chu Jianghe the fat man a few years ago.

"The jury is still out, we've extracted his DNA and I think he'll be found soon......"

"Then please don't hurt him, he is my aunt's lifeblood, if something goes wrong with him, my aunt's family will not be able to live, they have been hoping for Jackie Chan!"

"I know, maybe your brother probably saw something he shouldn't see, and he will run away in a hurry, don't worry, as long as I find his whereabouts, I will give you an explanation." Fan Li nodded fiercely at Chu Jianghe.

"Alas, you haven't changed, you are still the same you used to be, hot-blooded, persistent, and responsible, if Brother Yun is still alive, he will be very relieved to see you." Chu Jianghe smiled bitterly and drank all the red wine in the cup.

"What are you doing after you lost the city?"

"I'm still working on computers, and I only have these two brushes. After that catastrophe, I thought you were all dead, and I was depressed for a while, and finally I found a programming job, and I forgot about the dullness in my busyness, alas, to be honest, I didn't have a good time during that time, and now my life is settled, and I earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, which is worthy of myself and my parents. ”

"I'll go see Xiao Xiao when I have time, she must be very lonely, after all, they are all old friends, she probably won't do anything to me."

"I advise you to dismiss this thought." Chu Jianghe smiled disdainfully, as if he felt disgusted when he heard Xiao Xiao's name. "During that time, I was at a low point, and I heard Xiao Xiao's name by chance, and I was very excited, so I went to find her, but I was very disappointed. What disappointed me was not the death of Brother Xiao Yun, but her change. She looked down on me at all, the kind of look she looked at a small villager, and she didn't even want me to stay in her mansion for a little longer, and she sent me away in less than ten minutes. Then follow a few rich ladies to play mahjong. You are doing well, but this can't be the reason why she accepts you, she will still look down on you, you can save it, the previous Xiao Xiao died in the maze of the city. ”

Looking at Chu Jianghe's disappointed eyes, Fan Li seemed to have seen the down-and-out Xiao Xiao who couldn't look down on him. Xiao Xiao's ability to turn water into a drill has indeed brought some changes to her, but at this level, Fan Li is still difficult to accept. In the past year, he has seen a lot of luxury in Ye Yuning, "EFQ" and Ni Ziqiong, but none of them regard luxury as a weapon to belittle others. Fan Li secretly decided that if he could see Xiao Xiao one day, he would definitely win back face for Chu Jianghe.

Saying goodbye to Chu Jianghe, Fan Li returned to Ali's off-road vehicle, Ali couldn't wait to ask him about the news he had gotten, but he found that he hadn't received any useful information. After seeing Chu Jianghe, his mind was full of connections between old friends, and he left the case behind, alas. It's really different from a normal detective, this sensibility makes him feel that he is not suitable to be a detective.

"It's okay, at least we know that there is no relationship between Chu Jianghe and his brother." Jiao Yang comforted the deflated Fan Li. "Sir, it's nice to meet old friends. I see you've been looking dull lately, like you've eaten bird droppings. ”

Jiao Yang's words amused Fan Li, what does guano taste like, has she eaten it herself? But then again. She's the elite of the troops, and if she's a jungle soldier like Martha, let alone guano. I've eaten even more disgusting things.

"Let's send someone to pay attention." After Ah Li finished speaking, he called the relevant personnel, although Fan Li resisted, but after all, his own words could not rule out Chu Jianghe's suspicion, and he did not stop Ah Li's move.

"What? I know. Ali hurriedly put down the phone.

"What's wrong?" Fan Li looked at him with a serious expression.

"There was another homicide in the western suburbs, this time it was three people, it seems that they were all migrant workers, and the way of death was the same."

"Let's go!"

The western suburbs are industrial areas surrounded by a community under development. Fan looked through the car window at the empty shelves of many buildings and felt that this was indeed a good place to hide. They soon arrived at their destination, where the cordon had not yet been drawn and there was no police shadow, and there were only two agents of the "ant nest" there, and it seemed that they had informed Ali at the first time.

Fan Li, Ali, and Jiao Yang followed the two agents to an unfinished building, and strong winds blew from both sides, making Fan Li feel cold. The stairs in the building had been perfected, and they made it to the third floor, only to see three bodies in front of them, two lying on the ground, and one lying at the top of the staircase leading to the fourth floor.

Fan looked down at a corpse on the ground, his face was still very intact, except that the parts below the neck were bitten and rotten, and looking at such a wound, it looked like the wounds left by a fierce beast biting its preyβ€”large pieces of flesh were torn off, and dark red bones were exposed in many places. Fan Li glanced to the side and saw that there were a lot of pieces on the ground, he took the tweezers handed by Ali and picked up the pieces, and found that it was actually a piece of dark red meat, and then looked back at the corpse, he understood something.

"This guy actually takes pleasure in biting corpses, if it's pure killing, then lethality is fine, if it's a beast hunting, then why do these pieces of meat have to be spit out, it seems that it's really a monster." Fan Lixi muttered to himself.

"Call him the Boning Stripper for now, his sharp teeth staggering his prey like a long knife." Ali said as he jotted down something in his notebook.

"It looks like he died in the early hours of the morning, and it's ...... Between three and five in the morning. Jiao Yang stood up from the corpse and walked over to Fan Li to report. If we seize the time to lock down the whole city and search around this building, we will definitely find something. ”

"There is some farmland around Xicheng, if we let him go into the farmland, then we will have less chance of finding him, you are right, mobilize soldiers, but to use a tranquilizer gun, I need to capture this guy alive."

After Fan Li finished speaking, he felt a noisy whisper in his ears, as if there was a faint voice scolding, he had never heard such a voice at all, and thought that Jiao Yang and Ah Li were arguing in private. He followed the sound and looked over, and saw the rotten corpse behind Jiao Yang moving his arm. (To be continued......)
