On Sunday, December 10, 3020, with Lu Hao's perseverance, Ling Huaan agreed to accompany him to go fishing in the East Lake, along with Yanyu and Sun Ming, and Wang Lei, who no one could see except Ling Huaan.
Donghu Park is an AAAA tourist attraction developed by the Huacheng government. Because it is early winter, most of the flowers and trees in the park have already entered the deciduous stage. Walking on the long sidewalk, the golden leaves are rustled by the wind, one after another. Falling swayingly, it is like falling golden snow, which is not a beautiful scenery.
Picking off the fallen leaves on his head, Ling Huaan put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it. He smiled and said, "The smell of winter, the scenery should be beautiful now."
Lu Hao snatched the fallen leaves and smelled them like Ling Huaan. He frowned and said, "Where does it smell, and no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's not as beautiful as one-tenth of my brother's."
Ling Huaan understood Lu Hao's thoughts, and scolded with a smile, "I'm used to being glib."
"No, I'm seeking truth from facts. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Yanyu and Senior Sun Ming."
Sun Ming echoed, "Lu Hao is right on this point. Boss, the people around you don't even bother to look at the scenery, they're all peeking at you."
Although Yan Yu didn't speak, he responded softly.
Even Wang Lei said in Ling Hua'an's ear, "Boss, they are telling the truth."
What Sun Ming said was indeed the truth, but all the passers-by cast curious glances at them, not for anything else, just because everyone in the group looked good.
Ling Huaan said amusingly, "You guys, you all learned to be slick from the stinky boy."
Four people and one ghost walked around the East Lake, talking, laughing, and laughing. There is a special fishing area for those who love fishing. However, the fish caught must be bought at the market price before they can be brought home. When I came to the fishing area, I found a place with few people. Everyone started to set up camp. Although they were not fishing enthusiasts, they prepared a lot of guys, such as fishing rods, hooks, fishing floats, fishing baits, and even brackets and fish. The baskets are all bought from specialized fishing gear stores, and they are all the best things in the store.
"Brother, I'm all ready, you can just throw the rod." Lu Hao handed the fishing rod to Ling Huaan.
Ling Huaan pushed the fishing rod and said with a smile, "I'm sitting here basking in the sun, listening to music, and I won't be involved in fishing."
"Brother, it's hard to come here. If you don't participate, it doesn't mean you didn't come. Don't worry, I'll be your eye, and I'll never let a fish slip through the net."
Ling Huaan really couldn't beat Lu Hao, so he helplessly picked up the fishing rod and reminded: "You all stay away, don't accidentally hurt anyone."
Everyone responded, but no one left the place. Ling Huaan was both heartbroken and helpless. He touched the fishing line and waved the fishing rod lightly, and the hook was thrown out.
"How about it, is the location okay?"
"Yes, of course. Brother, sit down, we'll wait for the fish to take the bait now."
With Lu Hao's help, Ling Huaan sat on the stool, looked at the lake, and heard Wang Lei's voice in his ears, saying, "Boss, there is something in the middle of the lake."
Ling Hua'an nodded indiscernibly. Although he couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly, he could clearly see that there was a ghost in front of him at a distance of more than ten meters, looking at the fishing on the shore with cold eyes By.
Judging from the length of the hair, the ghost figure should be a woman, with a pale face, blood and tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and a black breath entangled around her body, entangled with her long white dress in the water. Seemingly aware of Ling Huaan's gaze, she looked over with cold eyes, and when she saw Wang Lei, an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes.
"Hey, the fish is drifting, I seem to have seen the fish drifting a bit just now." Lu Hao stared at the fish drifting intently, patted Ling Hua'an's arm excitedly, and said, "It's really moving, it's really moving! Brother, hurry up. Pull the rod and don't let the fish run away."
It was indeed moving, but in Ling Huaan's eyes, it was not the fish float that moved, but the female ghost, who was swimming towards the shore.
"Boss, there is so much resentment on that female ghost!" Wang Lei said with some fear.
Ling Huaan didn't speak. He grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it, but he didn't pull it at all. He turned to look at Yanyu and said, "Yanyu, come and help."
Yan Yu responded and came to Ling Hua'an's side, took the fishing rod and pulled it hard, but it didn't.
Seeing this, Lu Hao said excitedly, "It looks like a big fish. Brother Yanyu, I'll help you."
With the help of Lu Hao, the two pulled the 'big fish' out of the water.
Lu Hao said in surprise: "It's not a fish, it seems... It seems like a person."
"Sun Ming, take Lu Hao far away and call the police by the way."
Sun Ming looked at the corpse in the lake and his expression changed, he pulled Lu Hao away from the shore, and the female ghost had already come to Ling Huaan at this time. Wang Lei hid behind Ling Huaan and whispered, "Boss, why does she keep looking at me?"
Ling Huaan didn't answer, and looked up and down at the female ghost. Although her face was pale and swollen, she could still see that the female ghost was good-looking before her death. She was wearing a long white dress, which was wet and sticking to her body, and her lower abdomen was ripped out. A hole was cut, and the bloody field flowed out, dyeing the white long skirt red.
"Who are you?" The female ghost's voice was sharp and piercing.
Ling Huaan didn't say much, just took out a bell from his pocket, chanted the incantation silently, the bell rang softly, the female ghost who was in front of him just disappeared, obviously he had put it into the bell.
The female ghost was taken away and struggled non-stop. The bell vibrated and made bursts of crisp sounds. Ling Huaan frowned slightly, bit her finger, tapped on the bell, and a drop of blood was printed on the bell. calm down.
Seeing this, Wang Lei could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with lingering fear: "Boss, her resentment is even stronger than Jiang Changping."
"If I'm not wrong, she should have been cut off before she died, and she died twice, so she has such a big resentment."
"One corpse and two lives?" Wang Lei frowned and said angrily, "The murderer is too crazy."
Yanyu cut off the fishing line on the fishing rod and tied it to a big tree to prevent the body from sinking to the bottom of the lake again. Glancing at the people who were watching around, and coming to Ling Huaan, Yan Yu asked softly, "Huaan, have you found anything?"
"Well, wait until you go back."
About fifteen minutes later, the sirens blared loudly, and several police cars parked on the shore of East Lake. Jiang Chengyan walked over with his work badge. When he saw Ling Huaan in the crowd, he couldn't help but be stunned. He took three steps and took two steps. , came to the front quickly, and asked with concern: "Huaan, why are you here? Are you injured?"
Ling Huaan shook his head and said succinctly, "We found the body and reported it to the case."
Jiang Chengyan looked around, then asked, "Then you are here for a winter tour?"
Yan Yu replied indifferently: "Yes, the body found while fishing."
While the three of them were talking, Yao Min followed closely, looked at Jiang Chengyan, then looked at Ling Huaan, smiled and said, "I said why the captain is walking so fast, so Big Brother Ling is also there."
Jiang Chengyan's face became hot, he glared at Yao Min, and warned her not to talk nonsense. Ling Huaan smiled slightly, but did not answer. Life is at stake, and now is not the time for small talk.
Jiang Chengyan seemed to have thought of this as well, and said, "Yao Min, it's the body that Hua An and the others found. You can make a record for them. Hua An, if something happens here, it will be blocked. You should go back after you finish the record."
Ling Huaan nodded and said, "Go ahead, we'll go back later."
Jiang Chengyan responded and turned to go to the lake. Yao Min looked at Ling Hua'an, then turned to Yan Yu, took out the notebook, and asked, "Handsome guy, what's your name? What's your birth year? What's your contact information?"
"Yan Yu, born on September 5, 2995, phone number 198****1232."
"Born in 1995, then you are 25 years old. Where do you live and what occupation are you doing now?"
"Is this related to the case?" Yan Yu looked at Yao Min coldly.
Yao Min was startled, then smiled and said, "Mr. Yan, don't think I'm annoyed, I'm asking this is purely a matter of routine."
Yan Yu replied patiently: "I live in the Jiamei villa area, and now I run a company."
"You're already the boss of the company at the age of 25. Mr. Yan is really young and promising." Seeing that Yanyu was not arguing, Yao Min pouted and said, "What are you doing here, and how did you find the body?"
"We came for a winter tour. When fishing, the fish hook caught the clothes of the deceased and pulled the body found under it."
Yao Min gradually entered the working state and asked, "Who are you here? When did you arrive here, and when did you find the body?"
"Four, me, Hua An, Lu Hao, and Sun Ming. We arrived here at about 9:30 and found the body at about 10:00."
After Yao Min finished recording, she looked up at Ling Huaan and said, "Brother Ling, the recording has been made, you can leave."
"Okay, let's pack up and go."
"Brother Ling, don't clean up the things in the cordon. According to the regulations, we will take them away for inspection, and we will return them when there are no problems after inspection."
"Okay, then you're busy, let's go first."
The four left the lake and drove back to Ling Hua'an's house. Although Lu Hao didn't see the tragic state of the corpse, he was also frightened, his face was pale, and he said with lingering fear, "Brother, I will never go fishing again."
Ling Huaan rubbed his hair and said soothingly, "It's okay, don't be afraid, there is a brother here."
Lu Hao hugged Ling Huaan and said coquettishly, "Brother, will you dislike me for being timid?"
Ling Huaan said amusingly, "If I dislike it, can you still be bold?"
"Then I'll practice gallbladder! Compared with those horrible things, I'm still most afraid of my brother's dislike."
"You are my younger brother, connected by blood, why would I despise you? It's noon, what do you want to eat, let Yanyu cook it for you." To avoid Lu Hao's wild thoughts, Ling Huaan decisively changed the subject.
"Yeah, I really want to eat something delicious. I'll think about it." Lu Hao thought about it and said, "I want to eat hot pot, mushroom soup pot. I haven't eaten it for a long time.
Ling Huaan took out his mobile phone and handed it to Lu Hao, and said, "Okay, let's eat hot pot. You and Sun Ming go to the supermarket and buy whatever you want. Yanyu and I prepare mushroom soup at home. Do you know the payment password for the mobile phone? "
"Yes, let's go then."
After sending Lu Hao and Sun Ming out, Ling Huaan looked at Yanyu and said, "Yanyu, you go to prepare the mushroom soup, I'll go to the study."
Yan Yu knew that he couldn't help in this regard, but he still urged: "Be careful, call me if you have something."
Ling Huaan nodded and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, she can't hurt me."
Yanyu helped Ling Huaan to the door of the study. Ling Huaan took out a paper talisman and said, "You stick this paper talisman on the door. It is strong and cannot fall off."
Yan Yu responded and said, "Okay, don't worry."
Ling Huaan didn't say any more, he pushed open the door and walked into the study. To prevent accidents, he also put a paper talisman on the inside of the door. Taking the bell out of his pocket, Ling Huaan chanted the spell silently, the bell vibrated and made a rapid sound, followed by a gust of overcast wind, blowing the books on the desk screeching.
"Who are you?" The shrill voice could almost penetrate a person's eardrums, and the female ghost suddenly appeared, her sharp fingers grabbing towards Ling Huaan.
Ling Huaan calmly said, "I can help you find your child."
The female ghost's movements stopped abruptly, her fierce eyes became blank, and she murmured, "My child... my child..."
Seeing this, Wang Lei breathed a sigh of relief, although he was sure that Ling Huaan would be fine, but seeing the scene just now, he couldn't help but worry, and he subconsciously tried to block, but Ling Huaan grabbed his wrist. But before he could put his heart into his stomach, the female ghost who was calm just now became excited again. The blood and tears in the corners of her eyes were even more red, in sharp contrast to her pale face, and it looked even more terrifying.
"Who are you, how do you know that I have children? Did you kill us? Did you kill us!"
"I'm a transcendental person."
"Transferring people? What is that?"
"It's someone who specializes in helping resentful ghosts resolve their grievances and help them reincarnate."
"How can I be sure you're not lying to me?"
"If I wanted to kill you, you'd be gone."
Ling Huaan's tone was very light, but she was shocked by the success of the female ghost. She looked at Ling Huaan and asked, "Why are you helping me?"
"I think you made a mistake about one thing. You found me, not me." Ling Hua settled down, then said, "I can help you, but you have to pay accordingly."
The female ghost seemed relieved to hear the words and said, "What do you want?"
"It depends on what you have."
"What do I have..." The female ghost's expression became dazed again, and she said, "What do I have... Who am I... Who am I... Why can't I remember anything?"
"Because you died in vain, you were trapped in resentment, which affected your memory during your lifetime. As long as the resentment is resolved, your memory will naturally be restored."
In fact, there is another way for the resentful ghost to restore memory, that is, the ability is strong enough.
"Then your reward..."
"I want one-third of your entire net worth." Ling Huaan walked to the desk, opened the drawer, took out the ink pad and the contract, and said, "If you agree, put your fingerprint on it."
"I also have one condition, if you agree, you can do whatever you want."
Ling Huaan said lightly, "If your child is already formed and has a soul, I will help you find it. If not, there is nothing I can do."
"Okay." The female ghost hardly hesitated and put her fingerprints on the contract.
Ling Huaan took the contract and asked directly, "Recall what you still remember. Anything is fine."
The female ghost frowned as she thought, several broken images flashed in her mind, she tried hard to catch it, but she could only think of one image and said, "I only remember one pair of hands, the hand holding the scalpel. , and a tattoo on his wrist, nothing else."
"Then do you remember what that tattoo was like?"
"It is a kind of flower with red body, many petals, curled, and slender stamens."
"Red flower..." Ling Huaan repeated the female ghost's words softly, took out the cinnabar from the drawer, mixed it with water, spread out the paper, picked up the brush, and drew a picture in three or two strokes, saying, "Look at this kind of flower. ?"
The female ghost went around Ling Huaan and looked at it, and said excitedly, "It's this kind of flower!"
Wang Lei asked curiously, "Boss, what kind of flower is this?"
"This is Manzhu Shahua, also known as the other side flower. It is the only plant that can grow by the Wangchuan River."
"This is the other shore flower, it's really beautiful!"
Ling Huaan sighed and said, "It's very beautiful. The other side flowers grow by the Wangchuan River, one after another, and the beauty is shocking. It is said that the fragrance of the other side flowers has a magic power, which can make people recall their past lives, so seeing them People who come to visit will stop unconsciously, or cry bitterly, or feel regretful and depressed, or have a smile on their face. The two fairies guarding the other side of the flower are the flower demon Manzhu and the leaf demon Shahua. They guard the other side of the flower table together. Thousands of years, but we have never met, because flowers bloom without leaves, and leaves grow without flowers."
"I heard this story. Later, Manzhu and Shahua missed each other too much, so they disobeyed the orders of the gods and met secretly. After being discovered by the gods, they were thrown into reincarnation. "If it's true, it's too bad."
"The flower language of the other side of the flower is endless love, a precursor to death, and the call of hell."
Wang Lei asked curiously: "Then this other side flower is really unlucky, why did he tattoo this?"
"With a scalpel, it means that this person's occupation should be related to medicine, and he should be a staunch atheist, but he has tattooed the other side of the flower that symbolizes hell. He or the people around him are now suffering from a terminal illness that cannot be cured by modern medicine, so he will change his mind.”
Wang Lei's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Boss, you are so smart, you can think so much with just one pair of hands and one tattoo."
Seeing the female ghost thinking, Ling Huaan asked bluntly, "Did you think of something again?"
The female ghost frowned and said, "The smell of medicine, a very strong smell of medicine."
"Then it seems that I guessed right. If you think of anything in the future, just tell me directly, don't hide anything, you know?"
The female ghost nodded and said, "Okay."
Ling Huaan took out the bell from his pocket and said, "I will temporarily put you in the bell. When the truth is found out and the grievances are resolved, there will be a messenger who will come to pick you up."
Ling Huaan put the female ghost into the bell, looked at Wang Lei, and said, "Wang Lei, go to the police station, I want to know her identity."
Wang Lei nodded and said, "Guaranteed to complete the task."
Ling Huaan took off the paper talisman on the door, opened the door and walked out. After Wang Lei said hello, he went straight through the door and went to the police station.
When Yanyu heard the movement, he turned off the gas hood, walked out of the kitchen in three or two steps, came to Ling Huaan, and asked, "How is it?"
"I'm not sure of my identity yet, I'll talk about it when I'm sure of my identity."
"Okay, call me directly when you're sure."
In the meeting room of the criminal investigation team, Jiang Chengyan walked into the door, glanced at everyone, and said, "Everyone is here, then we will have a meeting."
Jiang Chengyan paused for a while, then continued: "The deceased, a female, was about 25 to 30 years old, 165 cm tall, the time of death is preliminarily estimated to be 7 days ago, that is, December 3, the cause of death is temporarily unknown, but it is definitely not Drowning. Because we didn't find anything about the identity of the deceased at the scene, all we have to do now is to determine the identity of the deceased. Because the deceased has been soaked in water for too long, it has changed beyond recognition, even if the technology is restored, it will take time, we can't wait Let’s start with the investigation of the missing persons. Liu Ran, Wang Bin, this task is left to you, focusing on screening the pregnant women among the missing persons, the deceased has been pregnant for at least eight months.”
Liu Ran said angrily: "Eight months? That child is already formed, the murderer is really crazy!"
Although Su Ke's autopsy report has not been released yet, they can guess the form of the deceased after being a police officer for so many years, but the facts are too cruel and they don't want to think about it.
Li Tong sighed and said, "Alas, I hope that child is still alive."
"So for the child's survival, we must solve the case as soon as possible and find the murderer." Jiang Chengyan glanced at everyone with a serious face, and then said, "Li Tong, Zhang Liang, did you find any monitoring equipment by the lake where the body was found?"
"It's relatively remote, there is no monitoring equipment, but there is only one road leading to the fishing area. As long as the camera on that road is called, the trace of the murderer should be found."
"Don't forget, it's a natural lake, and the water is alive. The place where the body was found is not necessarily the place where the body was thrown, so before drawing conclusions, you must go to the scenic spot management department to investigate, understand?"
"Yes, Captain, we will investigate and implement it after the meeting."
Jiang Chengyan nodded and said, "Okay, that's all for today's meeting. If the others have nothing on their hands, they will join the two groups of them to investigate and end the meeting."
Everyone got up and left the conference room, Jiang Chengyan got up and went to the forensic department. After knocking on the door of the autopsy room, Jiang Chengyan pushed open the door and walked in. Su Ke looked back and said, "Didn't you just leave? Why did you come again so soon?"
"How is it, is there a new discovery?"
"You just walked for a few minutes and found something new. Do you think I'm a god?"
Jiang Chengyan said seriously: "Yes, you are like a god in our team."
"Stop flattering!" Su Ke glared at him angrily, then changed his voice and said, "It's not that I didn't find anything."
Jiang Chengyan's eyes lit up and hurriedly asked, "What did you find?"
Su Ke opened the deceased's lower abdomen along the wound, pointed to the inside, and said, "The abdominal incision was flat, opened layer by layer, and the child was taken out. The technique was proficient and professional. The murder weapon should be a professional scalpel. This murderer is very good. Probably a professional surgeon."
"Murderer? So the cause of death has been determined?"
"Actually, the cause of death is clear at a glance, but it has just been verified. Such a large wound is not sutured, and it is placed there carelessly. It will not take long for people to die from excessive blood loss."
"Then does she have a drug reaction in her body?"
"You want to know if she was injected with anesthesia before her death, right?" Seeing Jiang Chengyan nodding, Su Ke continued: "Although the time has elapsed for too long, no drug reaction can be detected, but it depends on the level of her abdominal wound and how well There are no other restraint injuries on the corpse, and it can be presumed that the murderer gave her anesthesia before the operation, and she died before the anesthesia lost its effect, so she died without pain."
"Su Ke, do you think the murderer had to be crazy to do such a thing?"
Su Ke said with a wry smile: "I know it's inappropriate to say this, but compared to the previous case of dismemberment, this deceased is much luckier than Jiang Changping, at least she died unknowingly and didn't experience anything. pain."
"Is there anything more painful than the separation of mother and son?" Jiang Chengyan was a little excited.
Su Ke was startled, then took off his gloves and said, "It's already afternoon, and I haven't eaten lunch yet, so please accompany me to eat something."
Jiang Chengyan took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said, "I'm sorry, I was a little irritable just now. What do you want to eat, please."
"That's what you said, so I have to think about it." Su Ke took off his protective suit and said while washing his hands, "I heard that there is a western restaurant on the street next door, and the steak in it is very good, or else Shall we try it?"
"Go there for a meal, my half-month salary will be gone, Su Ke, you are so cruel!"
"You big fat sheep will be delivered to your door, and you won't be slaughtered."
