Yang Zhengwei was startled, stood up, and hurriedly put on her maternity clothes and equipment and followed Yang Zhi out. They also wanted to go to the scene to find out what was going on, so Long Xiangtian naturally had to follow.
While in the car, Yang Zhi explained in detail the clues he had at hand. Due to time constraints, he could only briefly describe what had happened.
Yang Zhengwei listened carefully. After Yang Zhi finished speaking, he rubbed his eyebrows and looked very tired. However, he urged the driver to drive faster, showing the image of a responsible captain to the fullest.
Yang Zhi patted his shoulder and told him not to worry, then he had the chance to cast his gaze on Long Xiangtian and asked, "Long Xiangtian, how was your work today? You encountered a big case on your first day at work. I guess it must be hard for you!"
At the same time, his eyes unconsciously swept over Yang Zhengwei, and then he looked at Long Xiangtian with some condemnation, and said secretly: You see, I said that there couldn't be anything wrong with the captain. He gets so anxious and serious when a case happens. He is obviously a good person, but you still doubt him.
Long Xiangtian pretended not to understand the message in his eyes. It was too early to say anything now. Not to mention that he believed in his intuition, many aspects of Yang Zhiwei's behavior were suspicious in themselves.
The car soon arrived at Santang Street. There were already many team members on the scene, who were evacuating the surrounding residents. Then they blocked the entrance to Santang Street with alternating red and blue tapes, prohibiting unauthorized personnel from passing.
Even the shops in Santang Street have been forced to close. Except for a few shop owners close to the crime scene who were left behind to cooperate with the investigation, everyone else has been asked to go home.
Yang Zhi and several others got out of the car. Several team members in the outer blockade area greeted them, and one of them took them to the scene of the incident.
When he just came here and saw the bloody scene on the ground, Yang Zhengwei's footsteps paused for a moment, as if he was frightened by not expecting it to be so cruel. However, no one noticed that his pupils also shrank and there was a barely visible bulge between his eyebrows.
Then he quickened his pace and walked over, staring at the corpse on the ground for a few seconds, then closed his eyes and said, "You two go find some clues. I'm getting old, and I can't stand these scenes any more!"
Yang Zhi nodded, not thinking there was anything wrong with what Yang Zhengwei said. Only Long Xiangtian frowned deeply, but he had been standing behind Yang Zhengwei and did not see his expression, so he temporarily believed what he said.
Long Xiangtian watched Yang Zhengwei walk step by step to the steps next to him and sit down. Suddenly, someone next to him bumped his shoulder. He came to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Zhi said unhappily: "Of course you should get to work quickly. Why are you still in a daze? Now is not the time to think about those things. Let's see how to solve the current situation!" At the end, there was a hint of helplessness in Yang Zhi's voice.
Long Xiangtian could only investigate the clues first. He squatted down and looked at the bodies on the ground. There were three people in total, two adults and one child. They seemed to be a family.
And the corpse was not complete. It had been dismembered into pieces. The limbs were broken off, and pieces were scattered here and there. Even the head had been chopped off and taken away. And most importantly, it was all flesh and blood.
The skin of the three people was pulled off, leaving a pool of soft flesh. The blood dyed the ground red and black. Long Xiangtian could not imagine how someone could be so cruel and perverted.
Not only did they kill people, they also dismembered the bodies, and finally even peeled off the skin and flesh of others. However, because of this, the methods were so clean that they had no way of determining the identity of the deceased.
Yang Zhi ran to get the camera when Long Xiangtian squatted down to check. While taking pictures, he felt sorry for the deceased and cursed the murderer for being a pervert: "Oh, it's so pitiful. Is the murderer sick?"
But the scene on the ground was indeed horrifying. Even Yang Zhi, who had rich experience in solving cases, could not bear it anymore. He quickly ran to the side and vomited non-stop: "Wow... Uh..." Long Xiangtian walked over and patted him on the back. After he stopped, he handed him a bottle of water.
Yang Zhi took it and rinsed his mouth, then said in a weak voice: "I really can't stand it, it's too cruel, I guess I won't be able to eat in the next few days. You have such a strong psychological ability, but you are not scared at all."
Long Xiangtian just smiled and said nothing. When he was on a mission, he had seen countless scenes that were a hundred times more cruel than this, and he had long been immune to them.
This scene would have been too cruel and bloody to be acceptable to ordinary people, but in his eyes, it was nothing at all.
"Okay, at worst we can just eat something light these days." Long Xiangtian said in a relaxed tone, trying to make the current atmosphere a little more relaxed, instead of the previous depressing one.
After Yang Zhi calmed down, they walked towards the pile of corpses again and continued the unfinished work.
"Actually, Long Xiangtian, I have a feeling that this matter is definitely related to xy. Although there is no evidence now, my intuition has always been very accurate." Yang Zhi said to Long Xiangtian with a serious expression.
Long Xiangtian glanced at Yang Zhengwei, who was sitting on the steps with a thoughtful look on his face, and said nothing. He didn't know much about xy and couldn't make a random judgment, but he always felt that this matter was definitely related to Yang Zhengwei.
Although all of Yang Zhengwei's behaviors after coming here seemed reasonable, Long Xiangtian always felt it was very strange for an unspeakable reason. Of course, it might also be because he himself suspected Yang Zhengwei, so everything he did seemed strange to him.
Long Xiangtian did not blindly believe in his own feelings and judgments, because guesses could not explain anything. The most important thing was to find evidence.
Long Xiangtian looked around and saw that there were surveillance cameras at the entrances of several stores. He said to Yang Zhi, "Have the police officers take the surveillance cameras of these stores back to the police station and study them carefully."
Yang Zhi nodded and immediately gave orders. Soon someone copied the video back and handed it to Yang Zhi. At this time, Long Xiangtian had already walked to the five store managers who were left behind to cooperate with the police investigation.
"Did you call the police?" Long Xiangtian asked the short, fat middle-aged man in front of him. At this time, the man was holding his hands together, looking a little anxious and uneasy.
Hearing Long Xiangtian's question, he quickly replied: "Yes, I called the police. When I came to the store this morning, I didn't see anything. Who knew that after going in for more than ten minutes and coming out, I saw such a bloody scene, so I quickly called the police."
"Why did you come out again after you went in?" Long Xiangtian asked. Someone beside him was already taking notes.
"I hadn't had breakfast when I first arrived, so I planned to go to the bun shop at the corner of the street and buy two buns." The middle-aged man answered quickly, fearing that he would be misunderstood.
Long Xiangtian looked at him. This man did not lie, so he stopped questioning him for the time being. He then looked at the other four people and asked similar questions.
There was nothing wrong with the answers given by several people, and no one was lying, so the clues could not be followed further at this point. Now we just had to hope to find some useful information from the surveillance videos.
Yang Zhi was talking to two team members at this time, with his brows furrowed. Long Xiangtian came over and said, "We have checked all the surrounding areas, and there is nothing abnormal!"
