Chapter 20: The Detective
The autumn breeze is bleak.
Autumn nights are not lonely.
Late at night, the city of Beiping is still brightly lit, and there is the noise of indulgence everywhere.
There was only one place, pitch black, and no one wanted to approach it, like a dead realm cut off.
It is the head of Xinglong Bridge.
Most of the days have passed since the slashing of the foot walk and the mysterious forces.
In a hospital not far away, Gu Fengyang touched the gauze wrapped around his body, moved his muscles and bones, and found that he was fine.
He was fortunate that in the midst of all that crazy chaos, he had only been stabbed twice in the back, and both were inconsequential flesh wounds.
He walked to a hospital room, hesitated for a moment, pushed the door open, and entered.
I saw the old man lying on the hospital bed, hanging a drip.
The room was very quiet enough to hear the faint sound of breathing.
"Uncle Qiao, you're awake. Gu Fengyang called softly, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Qiao Guozhen slowly open his eyes.
The old man nodded with difficulty and slowly, his life had been snatched back from under the black-and-white impermanence of the soul hook, and after some first aid, he was still very weak, and even spoke with great difficulty.
"Little ......" Qiao Guozhen was speechless, and could only stare at Gu Fengyang directly, his eyes anxious and urgent.
Gu Fengyang knew what he wanted to ask, he was silent for a while, and still chose to speak truthfully.
"Huzi and Ah Hai are dead. "The two and a half teenagers died a miserable death, and after being struck by a knife and axe, there was still a glimmer of life, but they were trampled into flesh and mud alive.
"Twenty-seven of the footwalkers were gone, thirty-six were seriously wounded, and the rest were wounded. ”
Gu Fengyang's words were very soft, and Qiao Guozhen listened to it and closed his eyes in pain.
"That group of young people, I can't find out what force it is, they also killed a lot of people, but when they evacuated, they took away all the corpses, and now they have disappeared without a trace, as if they have evaporated out of thin air!"
"The three brothers Zhang were besieged by two red-clothed and miserably divided, Li Si's head has not been found......"
In the foot line, Zhang San has always been domineering, and Li Si has a timid personality, and they are not easy people to get along with. Gu Fengyang had a lot of whispers about them, but at this moment, when he talked about the death of the two, he choked up several times.
It was Zhang San and Li Si who saved him and Qiao Guozhen's lives with their brothers!
"And Wu Deshan, this bastard, is not dead!" Gu Fengyang's voice sharpened, and a flame almost like a substance burned in his eyes, "Uncle Qiao, this blood feud, we must avenge it!"
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a loud "bang", Qiao Guozhen didn't know where he got the strength, and slammed his right hand on the bed, causing the whole bed to "creak" and sway.
"Uncle Qiao......"
Qiao Guozhen still closed his eyes, gasped, and waved his hand.
Gu Fengyang didn't say anything more, and quietly exited the ward, he knew that the old man wanted to be alone and quiet......
As soon as I got out of the ward and came to the corridor, I saw a person.
The national character face, the one-word eyebrows, is Xie Zitian.
"Someone wants to see you. Xie Zitian said coldly, before the words fell, he turned around and left.
"Wait. Gu Fengyang chased after him, he took out a camera and handed it to Xie Zitian, "Help me return to your sister." ”
The camera was "borrowed" from Xie Xiaoxiao by Gu Fengyang, and it is unimaginable that after a chaos, it is still intact.
Xie Zitian didn't answer the camera, didn't even turn his head, but his voice was even colder, and said, "You go and return it to her yourself." ”
Gu Fengyang was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what the other party's attitude was, and he didn't want to worry about it at the moment.
The two of them left the hospital one after the other, and Gu Fengyang soon saw the person who wanted to see him.
He was a young man, with an ordinary appearance, especially in the dark night, and he couldn't see clearly, he was dressed as usual, white shirt, black trousers, and a dark thin coat, he stood at the entrance of the hospital, looking up at the moon, as if in deep thought.
Gu Fengyang only glanced at it, and recognized the person in front of him.
"It's you!" With three points of joy and seven points of surprise in his tone, he immediately clasped his fists and gave a deep salute, "Thank you for saving Uncle Qiao and me, as well as the brothers who walk on your feet." ”
During the day, it was this seemingly ordinary young man who fired a gun to stop the further fight between the foot and the mysterious forces and avoid a tragedy.
Hearing the words, the young man lowered his head, turned around, and said: "No need to thank me, my original intention was not to save you, but to protect the scene of the crime. ”
Gu Fengyang instantly thought of the eight rich children who had disappeared.
"They're all dead?"
The young man bowed his head, stretched out his right hand and said, "My name is Shang Yaming, and I was invited by the second master to be in charge of the corpse shredding case and the disappearance case. ”
Gu Fengyang always thought that the person in charge of the case would be a foreign detective or a Maoshan Taoist priest, and he didn't want to be the young man in front of him who seemed to have no strengths.
As for the etiquette of shaking hands, he was no longer unfamiliar, grabbed Shang Yaming's hand and shook it gently.
"I heard that you have investigated the corpse shredding case, what did you find?" Shang Yaming asked, this was the purpose of his desire to see Gu Fengyang.
"I didn't make any big discoveries, except that the deceased must have been killed with a small sharp weapon, because his head had been cut off little by little. Gu Fengyang said the only clue.
"The case of dismemberment is related to the case of disappearance?"
"This is a case!" Shang Yaming frowned, didn't say anything more, and walked towards Xinglong Bridge.
Gu Fengyang followed.
Xinglong Bridge is not far from the hospital, the two came to the bridge, only to see a big river flowing quietly in the dark night, the breeze blowing, the river only a few waves, no waves.
Shang Yaming pondered for a moment and said, "The corpses were found under the bridge piers, and eight corpses were piled up together, blocking the gap between the two bridge piers. ”
Gu Fengyang followed what he was hoping for, but he could only see a vague darkness.
"About this time last night, the second master's daughter and others disappeared until the body was found, and it took about sixteen hours in between, and I have seen all their bodies, not drowned, but thrown after death, so let's go and see the location of the body first. ”
"Do you know where the murderer dumped the body?"
"I don't know, but it's easy to find. ”
Facing Gu Fengyang's puzzled gaze, Shang Yaming looked up at the moon and said slowly:
"First, when the eight bodies were found, they were piled together, and it can be concluded that they were thrown into the river at the same time, which shows that there was not only one murderer. ”
"Second, a group of people with corpses is too conspicuous, so there must be few people on the road from the place where the murder was killed to the place where the body was dumped, or they have the means to transport it. ”
"Thirdly, the weather has been good these days, the wind is very light, so the speed of the river is also very slow, and it takes a long time for the body to float all the way to the pier of Xinglong Bridge, so the place where the body was dumped is actually not far from us. ”
