Chapter 10 Irises
Ji Yan has been dead for many days, and some places have begun to rot, and even maggots have grown, but because the environment in the house is dry, there are not enough conditions to breed too many fungi, so the body is generally relatively intact.
In Ji Yan's arms, he also carried a yellowed file bag.
I endured the smell of corpses, forcibly took the bag off, and grabbed it in my hands. Through this moment, I also saw clearly that under the recliner, there were many corpses of rats scattered together, all of which were bitten off by the waist, and it was these things that Ji Hua was chewing in her mouth......
Uncle Fang quickly contacted the police station and found someone to come and sort out the scene.
After DNA comparison, it was determined that the deceased in the house was the former captain of the black gold case investigation team, Ji Yan.
Ji Yan has been dead for at least half a month, and the cause of death is similar to that of the two police officers killed in the bamboo forest, both of which were heart ruptures caused by myocardial infarction.
During the period after his death, his daughter Ji Hua stayed in the house and accompanied his corpse.
Uncle Fang felt sorry for Ji Hua and hurriedly took her to a nursing home, but it was still unknown whether she could recover.
The little girl suffered from severe stimulation, could not speak, and became mentally abnormal, leaving only instinct in her mind. In the past few days, she has stayed in the house, eating food in the refrigerator when she is hungry, and when she has eaten all the things she can eat, she can only catch the mice in the house and drink the dirty water in the toilet....
The police officers who arrived were busy in the house, some helping to sort out the bodies, some helping to survey the scene. Most of them bury their heads in things and don't say a word, and a few of them are a little older, and even have red circles.
Most of them are old acquaintances with Ji Yan, and no one could have imagined that the Ji team, who was vigorous and resolute in the past, would actually die in the house without saying a word.
Against the crowd, I walked out of the house, found a place where no one was, and sat quietly.
I really fucking wish I was wrong, it was someone else lying in the room, and soon, Ji Yan's bastard would appear in front of me again. Just like when he was shot in the leg by a shotgun while chasing the bandits, the next day, he still appeared alive.
However, the miracle did not happen. In this world, there are some things that you are destined to not change, so you can only choose to accept them silently.
I've never been so confused in my heart that I didn't even notice that a whole cigarette had burned to the end.
How did Ji Yan die, and what did he go through before he died? Nobody knows.
The only thing that can be assured is that the person who called me this morning was definitely not Ji Yan, how could a dead person talk to me? What's even more bizarre is that the call logs that should have existed have disappeared.
I asked a friend from the telecommunications bureau to check my call record, and came to the conclusion that it was also my mobile phone, and at that time, there was no call record at all.
In other words, the call log did not disappear, but did not pass the call at all.
Could it be that everything you experience in the early morning is an illusion? In my mind, I unconsciously came up with the picture of Ji Yan in the past.
I wiped the corners of my moist eyes and looked at the file bag I was holding in my arms, which was the object that Ji Yan held in his arms after his death. Brother, if you really have a spirit in heaven, please give me some instructions!
The file bag has been yellowed, gently unfastened, three old photos slid out, strangely, behind each photo, there is a lilac six-petal flower, I am sure, this entrained flower, is the irises!
suddenly remembered that in the conversation with Ji Yan earlier, he seemed to have mentioned that he was taking care of irises.
Wrong! Ji Yanshao said that he had been dead for half a month, but the irises in the file bag were still in the state of flowers, and it was estimated that the time to collect them was not even half a day.
In other words, before Uncle Fang and I came to the scene, another person entered the house and put the freshly picked iris into the file bag. Moreover, this person also knows the content of the call I had with that "Ji Yan" this morning.
I felt my pores tremble, and cold sweat unconsciously ran down my spine.
In the language of flowers, irises have many meanings, but in China, the most representative refers to "discerning!" ”
What a provocative flower language!
Each of the three photographs in the file bag shows an animal that has been abused to death.
In my opinion, the one who can do all this quietly, and choose irises and store them in the file bag, can only be the mastermind behind this black gold case.
The first is a cat with its front leg cut off, the second is a lamb with its right leg cut off, and the third is a bird that has been disemboweled, stuck in the mire.
The corresponding death method of each animal in the photo is surprisingly consistent with the woman in red who was killed in the previous three cases.
Moreover, behind each photo, a large number is written with a red gel pen, and one of them also leaves such a string of text.
"Let's see if we can save the sixth."
A cat has a 6 written on the back, a bird has a 1 on the back, and a lamb has a 6 on the back. If you put them together in the order in which those women died, these three numbers are 6, 1, and 9 respectively!
619, nine out of six, the sixth victim! I felt like my head was about to explode, and sure enough, my previous guess about the numbers was correct!
First the weird phone call, then the mannequin, in the matter of Ji Yan this morning, it turned out that everything was made by the murderer of the black gold case.
This madman, in this way, actually challenged me.
In the past, it happened that the murderer provoked the perpetrator of the crime. The most famous is the case of "Jack the Ripper".
In 1888, five women were murdered in London's Whitechapel district, and the murderer wrote several letters to the authorities to provoke them, but unfortunately the prisoner has not been caught.
Counting the criminal cases I have participated in over the years, there has never been a murderer who dares to be so arrogant.
Originally, I just came to check the case instead of Lao Yan, but I didn't expect that in just one day, I was completely involved in the core of the case.
Now, the situation is very unoptimistic, not only the innocent woman in the black gold market will become the target of that guy, but even the police investigating the case are not immune.
I looked at the iris in front of me, and unconsciously touched the terrible scar on my chest, and for a while, the images of the past flooded into my heart.
Once, I have encountered more desperate scenes than this, but I have survived them again and again.
This bastard isn't the first to want my life, and certainly won't be the last, and since you want to play with me so much, let you know what a terrible guy you've met!
At this moment, the mobile phone rang, it was a call from Lin Xiaoxue.
In the microphone, she said that she had made a major discovery and was rushing here, so she asked me to stay where I was and wait for her.
Listening to her tone, she was very anxious, and it was estimated that she had really discovered something terrible, and I couldn't speculate about their forensic affairs. Most of the police officers were still in the house to survey the scene, and I simply continued to study the three photos.
I wondered why, although the numbers and handwriting on the iris and gel pen were new, the three photographs, including the portfolio, were indeed old and yellow.
Based on my analysis of the scene, the only explanation is that these three photos are really important clues that Ji Yan put into the file bag before his death. When the murderer came, he did not take it away, but put it in the iris and wrote the words with a gel pen.
What a terrible opponent, did he deliberately leave clues so that I could follow his movements?
I looked at the three photos several times and confirmed that the tragic death of these three animals was indeed the same as the death of the first three women in red at the beginning of the black gold case.
If this is the case, then Wang Li, who died not long ago, should have the same animal corresponding to her death.
At this moment, several more police cars drove into the residential area, led by Phnom Rill glasses, and Lin Xiaoxue was also in one of the cars.
The group of them quickly learned what happened from the police at the scene, and they were also full of shock at Ji Yan's death.
