The dim street lamp, the light flickered and flickered, emitting a faint light, and there were fireflies flying around constantly.

The night was dark, and there was no light in sight, and it was as if something was being born under the black curtain.

At the corner of the street, a drunken man staggered and blushed as he walked through the empty street, singing from time to time.

His voice and the sound of clattering footsteps were intertwined, constantly elongated in the dark night, and it seemed a little strange and transposed.

"Hiccup!"

The drunk man burped loudly, and the surroundings were suddenly filled with a strong smell of wine, and the drunk smacked his lips, the corner of his eyes flickered, and he was stunned in place.

"Huh."

He rubbed his eyes and couldn't help muttering, "What's that?" ”

I saw a hazy white light floating in the air not far away.

The drunk subconsciously approached the white light, only to realize that he was dazzled, and it was not white light at all.

In the dark night, the fog fills the air, as if it will move, shuttling through the corners of the city, it is like a ghost constantly floating under the black curtain.

It turned out to be an unpredictable fog that covered the street!

"I'm afraid it's not that I've drunk too much wine, and I'm dazzled."

The drunk grinned, and he didn't notice that there seemed to be an extraordinary silence around him, as if all life had been swallowed up by the mist.

Even the fog gave people an extremely strange feeling, but he drank too much and didn't notice the danger in the dark, so he walked over in a daze.

"How do you feel like this white mist will move on its own?"

He was talking to himself, and even wanted to stretch out his foot and stomp on it a few times.

But in an instant, a chill suddenly hit, as if he was being targeted by some behemoth, all the goosebumps on the drunkard's body popped up, he was full of excitement, and the whole person became much more sober.

The drunkard had a lot of bruises on his forehead, his eyes widened, and he made a ho-ho pant sound in his throat.

In the midst of this mist, he actually saw two green eyes, like two ghost fires floating in the air.

Those eyes stared at him without blinking, and the coldness in them seemed to be able to form substance, freezing all his bones and blood into ice cubes.

The drunkard shuddered, and for a moment, he even thought that he had come into close contact with the Grim Reaper.

It was only a few seconds, but he felt like an hour had passed, and all the drunkenness flew out of the clouds.

By the time the drunk man came to his senses, the fog had spread into the distance, and he sat down on the ground with a pale face, his back already soaked in cold sweat.

"Hell!"

A scream resounded through the streets of the night, waking up countless people from their slumber.

The drunken man ran away with a lot of urine, using all his speed, for fear that the fog would turn back again.

The next day, when the sky had just cleared up and the whole city had not fully woken up, the sanitation workers had already started a busy day.

Looking at the fragments of empty wine bottles rolling down on the ground, the sanitation workers looked a little dissatisfied, and couldn't help but complain: "Who is so immoral, and the bottles that drank wine are littered here." ”

I cleaned all the way along the side of the road, and finally came to a park within my responsibility.

At this time, the sun has just sunburst out of the ground, the brilliant morning glow illuminates the earth, the morning breeze blows slightly, and the leaves rustle.

This generation is the only park in the old town with good greenery, so many people usually choose to go for a morning run here.

When the sanitation worker was about to clean with a broom, he suddenly saw a person lying on the ground not far away.

I thought I was drunk and accidentally slept here.

Thinking of the fragments of empty wine bottles I saw on the side of the road before, I think this possibility is quite large.

"Wake up, young man, it's easy to get sick when you sleep here."

The sanitation worker screamed patiently a few times but did not respond, and couldn't help but reach out and push, but the tentacles were cold, and the old lady suddenly became suspicious and had a bad premonition.

"Are you alright, young man—"

When you turn people over, they are pale and distorted, and they are dead faces!

Under the impact at close range, the sanitation worker slumped to the ground, but he only felt that his hands were extremely sticky, and an inexplicable fishy smell rushed to the tip of his nose.

When I raised my hand, I saw that dark marks were stained all over my hands, and I suddenly felt a feeling of nausea in my heart, and I was about to vomit out my breakfast.

The sanitation worker ran to the side and vomited, and after vomiting, he trembled and dialed the number, "Hey, 110?" This is the Eastern Suburbs Park, and a body was found! ”

After reporting the case, the police quickly dispatched the police.

In a few moments, the shrill sirens sounded on the streets, and the sanitation workers waited nervously on the side of the road, relieved to see the police arrive.

The car door was opened, and she was greeted by two straight and slender legs, which were obviously the same navy blue uniform, but they had a special taste on her.

The finely crafted facial features immediately attracted the attention of the sanitation workers, and even the nervousness dissipated a lot.

"This Nizi is so pretty."

The eldest lady commented in her heart.

"Hello, did you find the body?"

Looking at the policewoman who was already standing in front of her, the sanitation worker nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it's me." ”

The policewoman showed a kind smile, like a spring breeze blowing through the willows, and subconsciously calmed the panic in the hearts of the sanitation workers.

"Okay, please don't be nervous, please tell me the general story of what happened."

"I went to work this morning, and then I found a person lying on the road, I thought it was drunk, and then I called him, but there was no response, and then I found out"

The policewoman made simple notes, nodded from time to time, and looked like she was listening carefully, her handwriting was graceful and smooth.

"That's how it happened."

The policewoman closed the notebook in her hand, "Then before you arrived, did you see any suspicious people nearby?" ”

The sanitation worker thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "No, most of the people around here are running in the morning, so there shouldn't be any suspicious people." ”

He had a palpitating expression on his face, and it was uncomfortable for anyone to see a corpse early in the morning.

"Okay, thank you for providing us with this information."

The policewoman thanked her softly.

Looking at the bright smile on the policewoman's face, it seemed that even the haze of seeing the dead body had dissipated a lot, and the tone of the sanitation worker had calmed down.

"You're welcome, you should be."

At this time, there are quite a few police officers passing by.

The old policeman next to him looked very senior and was directing everyone to carry out their work in an orderly manner, but his face was heavy and he had realized the seriousness.

"There is more than one corpse, and several male corpses were found nearby just now."

"Zhang Lin, you are responsible for the on-site investigation, Qian Bai, you maintain order, evacuate the crowd, don't let too many people get close to the scene, so as not to destroy the evidence, by the way, Bai Yanfei, come with me."

The policewoman who was named hurriedly ran over, and fine beads of sweat rolled down her snow-white cheeks on her forehead.

"Team Zhou, what's the matter?"

Officer Zhou carefully instructed: "I told me above, although I am leading the team this time, you are also the existence of the deputy team, do a good job this time, it is estimated that it will not be long before you can lead the team independently." ”

Bai Yanfei was very calm, and she was not complacent, but seriously assured: "Don't worry, Team Zhou, I will not live up to you and the expectations of the bureau for me." ”

The police set up a cordon in the vicinity and began the work of investigating and clearing the scene.

Many runners came over curiously when they saw it.

People are herd mentality, like to join in the fun, seeing that all the green belts here have been pulled up by the cordon, and there are many policemen here, there are many discussions about it.

"What's going on, why are there so many cops?"

"It looks like a few people died."

"What? There was a homicide here, was it a robbery? In that case, I won't dare to run here in the future. ”

"I don't know, I just came over, it seems that I died last night, it shouldn't be a robbery, it feels like a vendetta, a lot of blood."

"Oh my God, isn't it very dangerous here, could it be the kind of perverted murderer, let's take a walk in another place in the future."

"Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors, now the police haven't issued a notice, let's not talk nonsense here, spread panic."

Everyone talked about it, and they all craned their necks to see the scene clearly, but the yellow line blocked their view.

Seeing that the crowd was gathering more and more, the police then came out to evacuate the crowd, so as not to cause inconvenience and impact on the follow-up work.

Soon the crowd was evacuated, and the police were still taking photos and collecting relevant evidence around.

Bai Yan saw that these corpses did not change their faces, obviously their psychological quality was very high, although she was young, she followed the mission very early and accumulated a lot of experience.

She took a general look at the corpse, and from time to time took a pen to record something in the notebook, and soon wrote most of the pages, which shows that she is serious and responsible for her work, no wonder Team Zhou attaches so much importance to it.

"Okay, you send the body back to the forensic doctor for examination, see what time the death time is, and send it over as soon as the death report comes out."

The body has been transported back by a special vehicle, and the white outline lines of human figures have been drawn on the ground, and the police in charge of collecting evidence are reporting to the Zhou team.

"I didn't find any relevant documents on them, I don't know where they are from or what their identity is for the time being, and the DNA database will be compared in the future, and then there are a lot of tools scattered on the ground, and there is an empty car not far away, which may have been driven by them."

Looking at the backpack found at the scene, Team Zhou frowned slightly, his eyes fell on these tools, and he was a little puzzled.

"These tools seem to be related to archaeology?"

He seemed to think of something, "What about the murder weapon?" Did you see the murder weapon at the scene? ”

The policeman next to him shook his head, "Judging from the large amount of blood stains at the scene, it can be preliminarily determined that this is the first crime scene, and there is no transfer of the body, but the murder weapon has not been found, maybe it was taken away by the murderer." ”

The security in this jurisdiction has always been good, at most it is a bit of petty theft, like the first time there has been a murder, and more than one person has died this time.

The point is that the identities of this group of people seem to be quite suspicious.

"The cash on this group of people is all there, robbery should be unlikely, tend to vendetta, there should be surveillance around here, you go check it out and see if you can take any useful pictures."

"In addition, I went to the surrounding stores to investigate and see if I saw the process of the crime."

The body was carried back to the police station, and since several people died at once, the authorities paid more attention to this, and soon set up a special team to investigate.

Under the command of Officer Zhou, Bai Yanfei, as a deputy team, also faced a lot of pressure, after all, it was rare to encounter such a case, and several people died at once.

Bai Yanfei's main job is to carry out investigation work centered on the eastern suburbs park.

This work is not big or small, but it still requires a little patience.

Bai Yanfei knocked on the door from door to door, showing her ID, "Hello, did you hear anything special yesterday?" ”

"No, I went to bed very early yesterday."

"Okay, thanks."

Subsequently, Bai Yanfei continued to visit and investigate, but did not get any clues along the way, and knocked on several houses in a row, saying that she had not heard anything.

The other policemen accompanying him couldn't help but look confused, "It's really strange, several people died yesterday, and it is impossible to live nearby without hearing a little movement." ”

"That said, it's a little unusual."

Everyone kept walking until they came to a house and unexpectedly heard a special news.

"I was in a daze last night, and I seemed to hear someone yelling on the side of the road, saying that they saw a ghost or something, and I must have drunk too much."

Bai Yanfei was a little surprised, "See a ghost?" ”

The man nodded, a look of disgust.

"It's the family that lives in the easternmost part of the opposite door, and it's a drunkard, and he doesn't talk about it every night, and when he gets drunk, he goes crazy and gets mad, and he almost annoys us to death."

It was not difficult to hear a great sense of disgust in his tone.

Bai Yanfei nodded, "Okay, thank you for your cooperation." ”

At this time, the residents were still at home and did not go out, and did not know about the murder not far away.

Hearing Bai Yanfei ask like this, her expression immediately became nervous, "Is there something going on around here, officer?" ”

Bai Yanfei showed a gentle smile and comforted them, "The police handle the case routinely, don't worry." ”

After leaving here, Bai Yanfei looked at the team members beside her: "There are still a few that have not been visited and investigated, maybe there will be some new clues, and there is also the drunk man mentioned by the first household, maybe it will be a breakthrough." ”

Soon after, the group soon came to the location of the drunk.

"Knock knock—"

It took a long time for someone to open the door, just when everyone thought there was no one inside.

With a creak, the door was finally slowly opened, and the owner seemed to have just woken up, unkempt and yawning.

There was also a strong smell of wine, which made Bai Yanfei can't help but take a small step back, in good professionalism, the smile on her face has not changed.

"Hello, I'm a police officer, I heard that you had something to do with last night, and we wanted to ask you-"

Before Bai Yanfei's words were finished, the man didn't know what he thought, and his face suddenly changed slightly.

Such a change in demeanor naturally can't escape the fiery eyes of Bai Yanfei and others, and when everyone sees the play, their expressions become a little excited.

Finally a clue!

Who would have thought that the words of the man behind them would be greatly disappointed.

"Officer, on my way back from drinking yesterday, I ran into a ghost! The green eyes scared people to death, and they were in the mist."

The man's expression still has a frightened and frightened expression that can't be concealed, which shows how much psychological shadow last night's picture caused him.

Looking at the smell of wine on the man's body that had not yet dissipated, as well as the countless empty wines on the floor at home, Bai Yanfei and the others shook their heads and did not stay here for long.

Others were a little helpless, "I thought there were some new clues." ”

The investigation on this side has come to an end, and there are not many clues obtained, and on the other side, other police officers have also investigated the identity of this group.

Xiao Zhang, who was in charge of this matter, hurriedly handed over the information to Team Zhou.

"Team Zhou, their identity was found, this group of people engaged in illegal excavation and tomb robbery activities, reselling all kinds of cultural relics, and there was also a group specializing in overseas reselling behind it, because the base camp of this group is abroad, it is difficult to trace the source, so the clues are broken from here."

As the police had guessed before, the identity of the deceased was really not simple, and Team Zhou frowned.

"So it seems. It is not a simple robbery and murder case, and perhaps it also involves the distribution of benefits and the uneven distribution of spoils. ”

As for why no artifacts were found at the scene, either they didn't have time to do it, or something was taken away.

But judging from the footprints and fingerprints at the scene, there are only theirs, and no one else exists.

There is a speculation: "Could it be that someone has already cleaned up the scene and erased their existence." ”

Team Zhou nodded, "I can't rule out this possibility." ”

He then seemed to think of something, "Did that car find any useful clues?" ”

"This car is a provincial car, and I found that they drove from Wudu, and then settled at No. 178, Hutong Alley, Nan'an Street."

Nowadays, there are electronic eyes everywhere, and it is easy to find out their movements by following the license plate number, so it is not difficult to find this place.

"Go see this place, bring someone and go with me immediately."

As soon as they received the news, Team Zhou immediately led people to No. 178, Hutong Alley, Nan'an Street, but unfortunately the building was empty, and no new clues were found inside.

There was a lot of dust in the room, it should not be very inhabited, and there was nothing else to be found on the ground except for some messy footprints and animal hair.

"It seems that this is just a temporary foothold for them, this kind of place is mixed, everyone has it, it's a good cover."

Moreover, there are many similar alleys and alleys in the vicinity, twisting and turning, which are connected to each other like a labyrinth, but if there is any wind and grass, it can also delay them to leave.

"It seems that there is nothing to be gained from this trip."

Team Zhou sighed, and just when nothing was found, two pieces of news came from the police station.

The good news is that there is monitoring nearby, and the bad news is that there is something wrong with the monitoring, and now the technicians are rushing to repair it to see if they can export last night's monitoring.

At this time, the autopsy report of the medical examiner finally came out.

"The cause of death of these people in Team Zhou is very strange, and their bodies have been hit hard, but no fingerprints have been detected on their bodies, and no analysis has been made of what the murder weapon is, so the tools of the crime are unknown for the time being."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised, and Team Zhou was incredulous, "How could you not find the tools to commit the crime." ”

Just when everyone was confused, good news finally came from the technical department, and all the surveillance pictures were copied.

Team Zhou and the others hurriedly rushed over when they heard the news, and couldn't wait to see the monitoring screen, but they didn't notice the strange faces of the technical department personnel.

"That, Team Zhou, you have to be mentally prepared."

Officer Zhou disagreed, "I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, and I don't blink my eyes no matter how bloody the scene is." ”

However, after watching the video very quickly, the others understood what the expressions of the technical department personnel meant.

There was a constant sound of electricity coming from inside the monitor, as if it had been affected by something, and the picture was a little blurry and unclear.

Everyone subconsciously approached and found that it was not that the picture was blurry, but that there was a thin layer of mist around them, so they looked like they were separated by a hazy veil.

Bai Yanfei couldn't help frowning and muttered, "Our place rarely fogs up at night. ”

Then his eyes continued to fall on the surveillance footage.

After a while, a beam of headlights hit, and it was the deceased's vehicle.

There is only one park nearby, and there is not much traffic at night, let alone late at night.

Bai Yanfei carefully observed the monitoring screen, and at the same time kept making records, and wrote all the key points in the notebook in case there were any mistakes or omissions.

It can be seen in the surveillance screen that the car quickly stopped in place, it seems that something was wrong, and the people on the car got out of the car to overhaul it to no avail, and then other people also got out of the car one after another.

Team Zhou counted, there were five people in total, and they happened to be facing five corpses, could it be said that there was no one else on the spot?

The previous speculation was that there might be another person, the murderer, who ran away after killing someone.

However, judging from the surveillance footage, this establishment does not seem to exist.

It's also strange to say, although it's a little foggy, but you can still see it clearly, not long after these five people came down, the fog became thicker.

More precisely, the white mist seemed to have a purpose, centered on these few people, and then spread around.

In a trance, they have the illusion that the fog has a life of its own, or that it is being manipulated.

A policeman couldn't help but speak, "These white fogs...... How does it feel like it's alive! ”
