In the same late night, the underground morgue of Ningchuan Sub-bureau was already full of "corpses", and the bloody smell in the air was extremely strong, but compared with the common bloody smell, the smell here seemed to be more complicated, with some earthy smell , with some grassy taste.
"Yan...Minister Yan..." Fatty Huo stood in a corner of the mortuary profusely, looking at Yan Qing, the head of the detection department who was close at hand, and felt so nervous before, "We have probably finished sorting the remains of these comrades. At present, 131 people have been identified, and there are more than 40 whose identities have not been identified. DNA comparisons are underway... "
"Are you sure these are classified remains?" Yan Qing's face was ugly, and he pointed to the glass jars placed on the mortuary bed, "Did you find any others? That's all?"
"No... I didn't find it..." Fatty Huo kept wiping the cold sweat off his head, trembling as he spoke, even though he was now the head of the Ningchuan City Secret Branch, he was still very afraid of this immediate boss in his heart, "We I have tried my best to find it, and the staff from the headquarters helped us on the way, but... I couldn't find it... I couldn't even find a whole piece of meat... "
The airtight glass jars placed on the mortuary bed were only the size of a palm, and a note full of data was pasted on the side of each jar. Only a few jars that had not yet been identified were empty, through the crystal clear Colorless glass, a small amount of blood-colored liquid can be vaguely seen inside.
According to what Fatty Huo told Yan Qing, these liquids are the remains of those who died.
"So many people... are you sure it was killed by that abnormal medium?" Yan Qing looked at Fatty Huo expressionlessly, the muscles in the corners of his eyes kept beating, as if he was suppressing some kind of anger.
"At first, we all thought it was caused by the abnormal medium..." Fatty Huo lowered his voice, as if he didn't dare to look into Yan Qing's eyes, "But according to the clues we have obtained so far... there is a certain possibility... It is human beings who kill these comrades."
"People?" Yan Qing was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Fatty Huo to give this answer suddenly.
"Of course, we can't be sure, because you know how weird that anomalous medium is. Maybe its avatar will take human form..." Fatty Huo didn't dare to speak out, he just said what he had, "according to the scene According to the clues collected by the staff, these murdered comrades were all killed by the same object. It can be preliminarily determined that the murderer should be in the form of a human being. There are some residual footprints at the scene. He is about 1.9 meters tall and weighs exist… "
"Where's the person?" Yan Qing interrupted Fatty Huo, gnashing his teeth and asked, "Didn't find it?"
"I haven't found it yet." Fatty Huo nodded, with an ugly expression on his face, "The number of footprints we have found so far is very small, and it is probably related to this heavy rain. It is basically impossible to follow the footprints. The surveillance video around Jiuling Mountain has been checked out, and nothing abnormal was found."
"So...the murderer is likely still on the mountain?" Yan Qing asked.
"If the murderer has nothing to do with that abnormal medium, then it is very likely that it is." Fatty Huo said affirmatively, and then added, "We have already sent a large force to search the mountains, and this time we will focus on investigation and tracking. They found something unusual in the mountains, and they would send the news to our branch as soon as possible."
"Let them come back, let's go."
At this time, Di Xiao, who had been standing silently in the corner, came over, his face without any emotional fluctuations put a lot of pressure on Fatty Huo. Compared with Yan Qing, he was more afraid of this silent person. Di Xiao.
"If the murderer is still on the mountain, those people you sent out are just going to die." Di Xiao sighed, then turned his gaze to Yan Qing, "Let's go search the mountain."
"You... You two are going to search the mountain?" Fatty Huo looked at them in astonishment, and couldn't help reminding, "The area of Jiuling Mountain is not small. If you want to search it completely, then..."
"Okay." Yan Qing interrupted Fatty Huo and nodded seriously, "I've seen the topographic map of Jiuling Mountain. We should be able to search it in less than a day."
Fatty Huo: "..."
Jiuling Mountain is the largest mountain near Ningchuan City. In their preliminary search plan, the search area is at least 200 square kilometers... just the two of you to search such a large area? This has to search for the year of the monkey and the month of the horse
But seeing that the two ministers were quite confident, Fatty Huo didn't have the nerve to speak up to persuade him. After all, he can only be regarded as a subordinate here, and it's not up to him to talk about what the leader wants to do.
"By the way, where is that kid Chen Xian?" Yan Qing asked suddenly, turning his head to look at Fatty Huo, "I want to see him in person when I come to Ningchuan this time, and Minister Di is also interested in that kid. He didn't come back?"
"He is a native of Ningchuan, so he probably went home." Fatty Huo replied, and explained for Chen Xian, "It may not be so easy to clean up that abnormal medium this time, maybe he was injured and had to go back. Family support."
"That's it..." Yan Qing nodded helplessly, "I'll see you later when I have a chance."
at the same time.
In the Yin Market of Ningchuan City, a long-lost customer came to the grocery store of the old liar.
"Damn it! You hid far away! I almost lost half my life before you came?!"
"It takes time to rush. I want to go there immediately. Isn't this not allowed by the reality..."
In the back room of the grocery store, the old swindler sat cross-legged on a chair, holding a cup of "medicinal tea" that exuded a stench in his hand, with an ugly expression on his skinny face.
"I was lucky enough to be able to calm down this time, what should I do next time?"
"There will be no next time."
Zhou Tuan, who was sitting opposite the tea table, smiled. Although the expression on his face was more relaxed than that of the old liar, the seriousness and fear in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Let's talk to Xiao Xian, he's not a child, and things will be prioritized in the future."
After learning of the abnormal outbreak in Chen Xian's body, Zhou Tuan was no better than the old liar who was frightened to death. It can be said that he had already prepared for the worst when he first got the news. I didn't think the old liar could suppress that abnormality alone... But in the end, the fact hit him in the face, and he was completely relieved. It is not an exaggeration to describe his mood as the joy of the rest of his life.
"This time its recovery is very low. Judging from the energy traces left at the scene, it is completely inferior to the last time, so I suspect that this has something to do with Xiao Xian's psychological quality. Maybe it is because he has grown up and matured, and is more able to I have controlled my mood, so I..."
Hearing Zhou Tuan's analysis, the old liar spat out with a bah, and almost spat on Zhou Tuan's face.
"So shit, it's our luck this time, and the other factors are all nonsense." The old liar said cursingly, holding a teacup, and suddenly remembered what Chen Xian said to him, and his expression became a little ugly, "Actually, he I have always been conscious, but I just can’t control my body, and you know how terrifying that thing is, even if the gods come, they can’t control it!”
Zhou Tuan thought for a while, then nodded to agree with the old liar's words.
"You want us to talk to him?" The old liar frowned, and seemed a little unsure about Zhou Tuan's proposal, "Say everything?"
"Part of it." Zhou Tuan said, a long-lost old face suddenly appeared in his mind, and his bright eyes dimmed a bit in an instant, "We promised him, those deeper things...we can't talk about it."
"It's all over, what else can't be said?" The old liar sneered.
"We shouldn't let him have self-doubt." Zhou Tuan said word by word, his eyes were very complicated, "At least don't let him doubt whether he shouldn't appear in this world."
Hearing this, the old liar also fell silent, nodding his head as an acquiescence to Zhou Tuan's proposal.
"It's over, don't put on such a bad face." Zhou Tuan smiled suddenly, with a gossip expression on his face, "Have you met the girl next to Xiaoxian a few times? How do you feel?"
The old liar thought for a while and gave a pertinent and objective answer.
"It's silly, it doesn't look very smart."
"It's good to be stupid, stupid people are blessed with stupidity." Zhou Tuan seemed relieved, with a smile on his face, "Don't look at Xiao Xian's so stable life, that child is also stupid, maybe find someone smart He was deceived and turned around."
"That's right!" The old liar also nodded, and said enthusiastically, just like the old ladies who gather together to gossip in the streets and alleys, "There are many vixens here in Yinshi who have taken a fancy to that kid. How many dares?" The older ones wanted to find me as a matchmaker, but I rejected them all haha!"
Hearing this, Zhou Tuan gave a thumbs up, with a look of appreciation: "Good job!"
"But... that girl is very good, she has a good appearance and personality, but her background is a bit vague." The old liar couldn't help frowning when he said this, with a very puzzled expression on his face, "I checked it in private, and then The girl just appeared out of nowhere, and Xiaoxian didn't want to tell me her origin, so I was always confused... "
"It's okay, I'll check it for you."
Zhou Tuan smiled confidently, his words filled with a sense of superiority.
"Your Yinshi's intelligence network has always been inferior to our Bureau of Secrets, so it's normal if you can't find it, and I will leave this matter to me!"
