Chapter 452: Extinction
The two charred corpses above the stairs were clearly not killed by the fire. No black substance was found near their noses and mouths, suggesting that the two men had stopped breathing before the fire had even started.
However, what exactly caused their deaths?
After careful examination of the bodies, I found open wounds on the chest and around the abdomen of the two bodies, which were certain to be from the shooting.
After cleaning the surrounding skin, it was obvious that the entire wound was roughly irregular oval-shaped, and although the wound had been burned by the fire, the whole wound was still convex outward, which was consistent with the characteristics of the gunshot wound before his death.
If you borrow tweezers or similar equipment, you should be able to remove the bullet from it, but this work is left to the medical examiner later.
The body under the stairs, although it was smoked alive, but after examining his body, a gunshot wound was also found near the guy's arm. If nothing else, the other corpses in the room should have suffered gunshot wounds of varying degrees before their deaths.
Suddenly, a picture slowly emerged from my mind.
Under the guidance of Zhong Yue, Jiang Sheng and others, these people entered the building in an orderly manner, completely defenseless. But when they went deeper, the guys suddenly realized that the building was actually a trap.
There is no Yu Yinghao here, and there is no high-level Yu Group, what awaits them is a trap that has been brewing for a long time, and death that follows.
As the lights turned on, gunfire rang out one after another, and Yu Yinghao should order his men to strafe the crowd and not let go of any traitors here.
Although this building complex was built in the hinterland of Yuping Mountain, it has been abandoned for a long time.
However, there are people living around the Nai Nai Mountains, and if you are not fully prepared, you may be discovered at any time. And in order to hide people's eyes, Yu Yinghao even ordered people to set off fireworks in the mountains in advance, and used the sound of fireworks to cover up the sound of gunshots to avoid arousing the suspicion of the surrounding masses. In this way, it will be able to explain why the old man could see that kind of wonder at three or four o'clock in the morning.
Yu Yinghao, the old fox, really took everything into account.
On one side is the brilliant fireworks, and on the other side, there are the lives that are constantly disappearing, and the two situations happen at the same time, which is really embarrassing to think about.
It wasn't enough to shoot bullets, and in order to make sure there were no survivors, the guys set a fire here, burning all the people who were still alive in the building and any clues that might have been left behind.
There is still a lot of space in this building, and through the black mist that drifts through the air, you can vaguely see that there are still several charred corpses inside, lying quietly in it, telling about the suffering they have suffered.
However, the further you go inward, the higher the concentration of carbon monoxide in the room. Even if I put on a wet mask beforehand, I felt the pressure, and if I continued to stay, I was afraid that it would be dangerous, especially Lao Yan's current physical state, which was even more worrying.
Now that Tang Yirou and the others have been completely wiped out, then in the entire Black Gold City, the only one who can fight against Yu Yinghao is only us.
At this time, we have to be more cautious and avoid some unnecessary risks as much as possible. After confirming that there were no more clues around the stairs, Lu Yuan and I hurriedly withdrew from here with Lao Yan.
Xu Fugui glanced at us and hurriedly asked us what we thought of what was going on inside the building.
Lu Yuan slapped his palm on the trunk of the tree on the side, directly slapped off a wrist-thick trunk, and then said with an unhappy face: "What can you think?" That kind of guy is so inhuman! This practice of large-scale killing and burning of corpses has not been used by Lao Tzu since World War II! Today, it's really long-eyed! β
Compared with Lu Yuan's excitement, Lao Yan and I seemed relatively calm.
Lao Yan just sighed, and then slowly spoke: "Gao Fei, Lu Yuan, how many corpses do you think there may be inside?" β
"It's hard to say." Despite the extreme disgust in my heart, I still recalled in my mind the scene I had just seen in the underground building: "There are estimated to be about a dozen of them visible to the naked eye alone, and there may be more in the invisible places." β
"More than a dozen livesγγγγγ Now things are a little bit of a big deal. β
Lao Yan asked Xu Fugui to count the specific number of people who died inside as soon as possible, and if possible, he did not hesitate to use all resources and intelligence networks to find out the identity information of these deceased: "Although the people who died inside are all criminals, this is by no means a small caseγγγγγγ β
"Why do you have to explain, just tell the truth." Lu Yuan obviously didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, and until now, he was still standing aside and talking to himself.
"Never." Lao Yan took a deep breath and patiently explained the relationship with Lu Yuan.
Although most of the dead in the building are criminals, these people have been murdered, and the death is extremely tragic.
The social impact will be difficult to estimate.
After going through so many things, the Black Gold City was originally reduced to a small place, and the safety of the people was in jeopardy.
What's more, the Yu Group and a large number of Yu Yinghao's men are still hiding in this city, ready to move at any time and carry out their evil plans. At this time, there must not be any mistakes to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Lao Yan took a deep puff of his cigarette, then slowly exhaled the smoke, and took advantage of this moment to tell Xu Fugui his plan.
"Do your best to press as long as you can, and when you really can't hold it down, let the leaders of your provincial department come to me, and I will personally come forward and explain it to them clearly."
"But this kind of thing ... Even if it's you. Xu Fugui said, swallowed his saliva, and then looked at the building next to him, with a tangled expression on his face: "Even if you come forward in person, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the leaders of the province to open upγγγγγ β
"It doesn't matter!" Inadvertently, Lao Yan's eyes suddenly became deeper: "If this kind of thing is found out, it will definitely be punished, but I am a person who has died once anyway, and it doesn't matter if I treat this kind of thing for a long time." β
Xu Fugui wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by me directly.
Tang Yirou's gang was almost wiped out, but Yu Yinghao and Jiang Sheng were still wandering in the black gold market, and they could commit crimes again at any time. At a time like this, there is no point in continuing to argue about this. And right now, the best thing we should do is to find those guys and arrest them.
However, at this time, where should we start?
First of all, because of the fire, it is almost impossible to leave visible traces inside the building, and if there is, it will be after the forensic autopsy.
Secondly, the mysterious people who pursued me last night have all killed themselves by swallowing their guns. And with Luo Bing's suicide by jumping off the building, the clues on the side of the red-clothed case were completely interrupted.
Although last night, the Yu Group launched a large-scale operation in the Black Gold Market. But as the morning sun rose, all the clues were wiped out.
Nothing was left here except a cold corpse, the bastards.
What to do?
I took a deep breath and forced myself to be calm. Only in this way can the brain maintain a basic state of thought.
Now that all the pathways are blocked, the only way to move on is to re-search what happened last night and try to find a turning point from it.
Of the three things, the only thing that can find a breakthrough is here.
I gritted my teeth and immediately asked Xu Fugui to take the rest of the police officers to search the vicinity of the building again. Since someone killed someone here that night, it is bound to leave clues, and these clues may become a breakthrough for us to continue.
"Why don't you wait for the people from the criminal investigation detachment to arrive, and then launch a large-scale search?" Lu Yuan looked at us and said slowly: "In this way, the scope of the search is more comprehensive, and the probability of finding clues is also greater." β
"It's too late!" Lao Yan looked at the sky and interrupted Lu Yuan's words coldly. For the first time since I saw him again in the Black Gold Market, I saw a trace of worry on his face: "Wait any longer, it's going to rain." β
The climate in the mountains is already changeable, and last night's fire evaporated a lot of water.
The sky that had been clear suddenly became cloudy, and it looked like there was a possibility of heavy rain at any time.
The complex was originally built in the middle of a mountain, and when it rained, we had no defenses at all.
At that time, the entire mountainous area will be washed clean by the torrential rain, and the traces that may have been left on the site by the other party may also be erased.
Damn, this time, even God isn't on our side.
There was no time to delay, and everyone present immediately took action, put on gloves and foot covers, and carried out a search in turn with the building complex as the central point.
I searched along a few broken weeds, only to find that the dirt on both sides of the road had obvious marks of being smeared, and the guys were so careful that they didn't want to leave us with even a trace.
But the more careful they become, the more important our operation becomes.
The hard work paid off, and after I completely searched the entire area I was responsible for, I finally found the clues left by the other party on a tree with a crooked neck.
On the trunk of the crooked neck tree, there was a mark of burning that had clearly been burned by the flames.
