Luming Peak Hot Spring Hotel.
Manager He specially opened a meeting room for the police station as the headquarters, and right now it was full of quarrels.
"No way, no way!" Zhuang Shijie slapped his hands on the table, propped up half of his body, and said firmly, "There is no reporter, no sign of a criminal case, and even the year, location, and identity of the missing person have nothing in common. The combined case of disappearance within the Mingshan area is already out of compliance, let alone the combined case with a case of murder, body dismemberment and extermination, is there any connection in it?"
"Team Zhuang, these are obviously related." Xiao Liu argued, "Besides, it is not surprising that dozens of people have disappeared in a city for a few years, but it must be abnormal for so many people to disappear in a scenic spot!"
"That's all speculation, and there's no evidence to support it. What's more, Luming Mountain spans hundreds of kilometers from east to west, and the scenic spot only occupies a small area." Zhuang Shijie closed the folder with a snap.
"Obviously there are so many circumstantial evidences." Xiao Liu opened the folder by himself, turned to a page, and turned it over to show him.
"Chu Li! Say something!" Zhuang Shijie waved away Xiao Liu's hand, turned his head and said angrily, "Let your subordinates come forward, when did you become so cautious?"
Chu Li, who was sitting alone under the window, heard the words, "tsk" and rubbed his forehead.
Headache. Really, I really want to have another cigarette.
"Captain Chu, he..."
"You will listen after I tell you?" Chu Li stopped Xiao Liu from telling about his injury, but only glanced at Zhuang Shijie, and asked strangely.
"..." Zhuang Shijie wanted to flip the table.
What you mean is that I don't agree with you anyway, so I don't bother to say yes, so you still ask your subordinates to come down to scare me!
"Anyway, we can't discuss any results." Chu Li said casually, "Instead of holding a search meeting here, it's better to go to the scene."
"Then you gave up the idea of merging the case?" Zhuang Shijie sneered.
"No, I just want to think that someone will send the evidence for the joint case soon, so there is no need to argue now." Chu Li said slowly.
"What did you say?" Zhuang Shijie was taken aback.
"Captain Chu, you mean..." Xiao Liu said pleasantly.
Chu Li twirled the phone in his fingertips and let out a sneer.
"Team Chu!" At this moment, the door of the meeting room was pushed open, and Dayang rushed in sweating profusely, and said excitedly, "Team Chu, I pulled out all the case files, and Xiao Xiao sorted them out and sent them to the mailbox inside."
As he spoke, he put the laptop under his ribs on the table and turned it on quickly.
"What file?" Zhuang Shijie asked subconsciously.
"The disappearance case of Luming Mountain." Dayang replied without hesitation, without noticing who asked the question.
"Chu, Li!" Zhuang Shijie slapped the table angrily.
"Huh?" Chu Li raised his eyes and asked in confusion, "I don't need Team Zhuang's permission to transfer files in Jiangnan City's jurisdiction?"
"You..." Zhuang Shijie was angry.
"As for the part of Qingjiang City, you will send it over sooner or later, I'm not in a hurry." Chu Li shrugged.
"Impossible!" Zhuang Shijie gritted his teeth, "If I would give you the file, I would eat the keyboard immediately!"
Just as Chu Li was about to speak, his phone rang. He glanced at the name floating on the screen, and couldn't help laughing: "Hello?"
"Chu Li, we found it, and we can file a case." Tang Xi leaned against a big tree, her voice was a little hoarse, and the morning sun shone through the forest tops and shone on her face, unable to conceal her tiredness.
Behind her was a large pit that had been dug.
"Well, I get it, just ask someone to check the location of my phone." Tang Xi continued, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, a bottle of water suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
"Won't you open a bottle for me?" Tang Xi sighed and spread her hands, "I have no strength in my hands."
"I thought that ladies shouldn't drink drinks that have been opened." Pei Qingzhi smiled and helped her unscrew the bottle cap before handing it over again.
"There is no medicine in this world that is colorless, odorless, and has an onset of half a second that makes people lose their mobility." Tang Xi said, filled half a bottle of water, raised her hand to wipe off the water stains on her lips, and looked at him with a half-smile, gentle Honestly, "Those who dare to give me medicine, I'm afraid they don't want their own lives?"
Pei Qingzhi unpacked another pack of compressed biscuits for her, and said, "It's true, there are so many flower protectors around you, who can't think about it that much."
Tang Xi took a mouthful of the dry biscuit, swallowed again, and took a long time to swallow it.
"Prosperous Tang Dynasty?" Pei Qingzhi raised an eyebrow.
"Okay! Please." Tang Xi's eyes lit up immediately.
"No problem." Pei Qingzhi said immediately.
It seemed that there was hope, and the compressed biscuits became less unpalatable.
Swallowing a small piece to fill his stomach a bit, Tang Xi rummaged through the backpack under the tree and took out the snakeskin bag.
"What are you doing?" Pei Qingzhi subconsciously asked.
"I promised Fu Xiao, take Guan Li back for her." Tang Xi took it for granted.
"But..." Pei Qingzhi showed a tangled expression,
"Indeed, the question now is, which one is Guan Li!" Tang Xi pouted very displeased.
Taking out the ring again, the yellow diamond was still dusty, as if covered in dust.
"It looks like it won't work anymore." Tang Xi sighed, "That's right, with such a little obsession, I can't ask for more, I still have to rely on myself."
Then Pei Qingzhi witnessed what "self-reliance" was with a horrified look.
"The case can be merged." Chu Li hung up the phone, looked up, with a hint of pride and a smile in his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Zhuang Shijie asked in a deep voice.
"The remains of the missing person have been found." Chu Li shook his phone.
"So what?" Zhuang Shijie frowned, "Even if a skeleton is found, it is still impossible to determine whether it is an accident or a case. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if it is a murder case, it may not be related to other disappearance cases..."
"It's not a skeleton." Chu Li interrupted.
"What?" Zhuang Shijie was taken aback.
"Zhuang team, in these years, the missing people within the range of Luming Mountain have nothing in common, right?" Chu Li asked.
"That's right, that's one of the reasons why I don't support the merger." Zhuang Shijie said immediately.
"Now, there is something in common." Chu Li gradually restrained his smile, his expression was solemn, "A total of forty-eight corpses were buried together."
"Wow~" But Zhuang Shijie stood up too fast, and swept the folder on the table onto his belt, and the files scattered all over the ground like snowflakes.
"Captain Chu, tell me, how much?" Xiao Liu asked in a trembling voice.
"Forty-eight corpses." Chu Li repeated, staring into Zhuang Shijie's eyes, and said slowly, "Now tell me, is there any connection between these missing cases?"
Zhuang Shijie froze on the spot, feeling his hands and feet were cold.
Not only him, but the other police officers from Qingjiang, and even the people from the Jiangnan City Bureau were shocked.
Forty-eight corpses, if piled up together, would be a massacre scene, and if word spread, it would catch up with the case of Qu Peng, the Ripper Doctor in Linjiang Private Hospital half a year ago.
"What are you doing in a daze? You're here. Where's the forensic doctor Su? The one who handed over the body of the Luming Hotel to the interns, go and see the one over there first." Chu Li glared at them.
"Ah yes." As if the play button was pressed again on the paused screen, everyone started moving immediately.
"Ah, that's right!" Xiao Liu leaned over and asked seriously, "Captain Zhuang, how do you cook this keyboard? Braised in soy sauce? Steamed? Or eaten raw? Do I need to start a live broadcast for you?"
Zhuang Shijie: ...
"Stop being so talkative, let's go!" Chu Li sneered and said in a bad mood.
"Oh." Xiao Liu rubbed his head. He didn't expect Zhuang Shijie to answer him, so he quickly followed.
"Team Zhuang..."
"The first group stays, and the others follow me." Zhuang Shijie immediately ordered with gloomy eyes.
The location of Tang Xi's mobile phone was not too far from the viewing area. Manager He sent a security guard who was familiar with the terrain to show them the way, and they arrived in less than half an hour.
"Pei Qingzhi?" Chu Li was a little surprised, looked around, and said, "Where is Tang Xi?"
"Below." Pei Qingzhi pointed helplessly.
A group of people followed his gaze, only to find that a large pit with a diameter of ten meters had been dug in the ground. It was really hard to believe how the two of them dug it out overnight.
At this moment, a young girl is picking and choosing at the bottom of the pit. It's just that what I picked was not vegetables or trinkets from the stalls, but... bones.
Zhuang Shijie stopped in his tracks, looking at the slender figure thoughtfully.
This is the girl who passed by on the mountain road yesterday, right
The Jiangnan Municipal Bureau, a consultant for the serious crime team? Sure enough, do you have special abilities in a certain profession
"Tang Xi! What are you looking for? Come up!" Chu Li shouted as he stood on the edge of the pit with black hair.
"Slow to death." Tang Xi complained, dropped a bone he picked up in his hand, and jumped into the pit lightly.
"This, this is really..."
"Looks like a mass grave."
"It's so cruel, which bastard is so devoid of conscience!"
The police surrounded the pit and talked about it.
In the uncovered loess, there are many bones everywhere, which is shocking.
"How?" Chu Li asked.
"Correct what I just said on the phone." Tang Xi took off the disposable gloves, and said in a deep voice, "The corpses are not forty-eight, but forty-nine. One of them is a pregnant woman, and the fetus has already formed. One dead body and two dead."
Chu Li had a thought, even if he didn't know Taoism, his common sense also knew that the number forty-nine couldn't be a coincidence.
Sure enough, Tang Xi went on to say: ""Book of Changes Xici Upload" wrote that the great way is fifty, the sky is fourty-nine, and the person escapes. The person who does this wants to be the one who's escaped. one'."
"Speak human." Chu Li rolled his eyes.
"It means that these people were all selected. Someone selectively killed forty-nine people for certain purposes, and buried all the bodies here." Tang Xi said simply, "From the perspective of Feng Shui, this place It is a natural extremely yin place, used as a tomb, and it is very dangerous."
"Let's not talk about this..." Chu Li was puzzled, "There are dozens of corpses buried, why no one found it? I remember that three years ago, there was a rescue team who almost turned Luming Mountain over in order to find a rich second generation Now, can't you see this?"
"Is it something like meeting a ghost hitting a wall!" Xiao Liu rushed to ask.
"Nonsense." Zhuang Shijie reprimanded bluntly, "How can we, the police, promote feudal superstition? All unsolved mysteries have logic to be found after the truth is solved. Push on the gods and ghosts!"
"..." Xiao Liu looked at Tang Xi with a look of lovelessness.
"It's not wrong to say it's a ghost hitting the wall." Tang Xi wrote with a low laugh.
"Miss Tang..." Zhuang Shijie said unhappily.
"Come with me." Tang Xi beckoned.
Everyone was taken aback, but seeing that she had turned and left without hesitation, they had no choice but to follow.
Tang Xi stopped after not walking far, and in front of her were two trails that could barely be regarded as roads.
"Pei Qingzhi, come here." Tang Xi shouted.
"What?" Pei Qingzhi walked over cooperatively.
"They are all policemen, and their thinking is different from ordinary people, but you are ordinary people." Tang Xi asked him to stand beside her, pointing to the fork in front of him: "If these two roads can lead to the same place, you will go Which one?"
Pei Qingzhi was startled, looked around, and pointed to the one on the left without much hesitation.
"Why did you choose this path?" Tang Xi asked.
"Why..." Pei Qingzhi frowned and thought for a while, before he said, "Probably the other one made me feel insecure?"
"That's right." Tang Xi nodded and said happily, "One of the two roads is flat, and the other road is half blocked by a stone. It looks narrow and depressing. Normal people will subconsciously take the spacious one. It’s the most basic psychological suggestion. After all, it’s just a more advanced psychological suggestion and visual error, which makes people subconsciously bypass this area without realizing it.”
"That's why the rescue team didn't find out?" Chu Li said.
"Well, there is no such thing as ghost hitting the wall, but Qimen Dunjia is a subject that can be explained scientifically." Tang Xi smiled and said, "The trees and rocks nearby have been processed by people, forming a strong visual effect. The error will cause the people inside to be unable to get out, and the people outside to be unable to come in, and they will keep going around in circles."
"Then why don't we just walk in?" Someone interrupted.
Tang Xi didn't care who said it, an expression of "Are you an idiot" appeared on his face: "Of course I demolished it before you came."
Chu Li was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized, no wonder the traces of damage on the road were so serious.
While speaking, Su Wanyi and another forensic doctor from Qingjiang City had already gone down to the bottom of the pit to examine the bones.
"I took a quick look, and the latest bones here are more than a year old, and they are basically all bones. It seems that if you kill enough people, you will stop." Tang Xi added.
"Chu team, call for support." Su Wanyi shouted from the bottom of the pit, "There are too many bones, and it will take a lot of manpower to move them all down the mountain!"
Before Chu Li could speak, Pei Qingzhi came over and said, "The rescue helicopter is still in the hotel. If necessary, I'll let them fly there and send the bones back to the city bureau first?"
"Okay!" Chu Li said immediately.
"..." Zhuang Shijie's face flushed red.
Chu parted and turned away from looking at him.
Didn't you say that the case is not merged? We also found the corpse now, and we must bring it back to Jiangnan City. If Qingjiang wants to participate, it can only be in a subordinate position.
Seeing this, Pei Qingzhi stepped aside to make a phone call.
Chu Li finally heard the good news, and felt that the headache had subsided a lot. He raised his hand and rubbed Tang Xi's head, and praised: "Good job!"
"Don't touch my head all the time, I'm not tall!" Tang Xi slapped his hand away and said angrily.
Chu Li looked her up and down, and said happily: "It's okay. You are tall enough, and you will hit the self-esteem of your compatriots."
"!!!" Tang Xi only felt his teeth itch.
Want to punch the guardian every day.
"Why did you bring Pei Qingzhi?" Chu Li lowered his voice again, "It's not good to involve ordinary people in this kind of case."
"Huh? But..." Tang Xi was speechless halfway through.
Indeed, there was no need to bring Pei Qingzhi, but she agreed when he said it.
Seems like something is wrong? However, Pei Qingzhi wouldn't hold her back, so he just took a younger brother to carry her bag, as if... still useful
Well, nothing wrong!
"This, Miss Tang, it's really not easy." Zhuang Shijie approached.
"Team Zhuang has won the prize. If the children can help me, I won't be ashamed." Chu Li remained calm.
"Oh?" Zhuang Shijie raised his eyebrows.
"It's Captain Zhuang, when will the case file be delivered to me?" Chu Li asked.
"Tomorrow!" Zhuang Shijie snorted coldly.
"The efficiency is good." Chu Li praised, then changed his tone, and said, "But the keyboard thing hurts the teeth and hurts the stomach, so let's forget it."
"..." Zhuang Shijie wanted to fight.
The head of the serious case team in Jiangnan City is a thorn in the side. Anyone who has worked with him knows that Bureau Tan is willing to let him go, and his rate of solving cases is indeed extremely high. But... getting along is really getting angry every minute!
"Keyboard?" Tang Xi was at a loss.
"Yes, Captain Zhuang likes to eat keyboards." Xiao Liu interjected coolly, not paying any attention to the vicious look in his eyes.
Anyway, Zhuang Shijie was not his boss, so he couldn't wear shoes for him. What's more, every time the two cities need to cooperate in a case, Zhuang Shijie always picks on his captain. He has never been pleasing to the eye. Still can't beat the dog in the water? This time, Zhuang Shijie sent it over with his own handle, enough for them to tease him for a year or so.
"Cough cough." Chu Li coughed dryly twice, "Never mind your business."
"Oh." Tang Xi looked at Zhuang Shijie whose face looked like a palette, and felt that it was better not to make trouble.
"Captain Chu." Su Wanyi walked over.
"How is it?" Chu Li immediately looked serious.
"The skeletons below are many and messy, and it takes a little effort to piece them together." Su Wanyi wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said helplessly, "However, there are a total of forty-nine skeletons, let alone the medical office. , even the city bureau can’t spare such a big space.”
"Uh..." Chu Li thought of this question.
"Also." Su Wanyi said again, "Although it's just a preliminary survey, I found that the earliest bones here are more than ten years old."
"Ten years?" Chu Li couldn't help raising his voice.
"Ten years is a conservative estimate." Su Wanyi said cautiously, "The possibility of 20 years cannot be ruled out. It needs to be analyzed and tested."
Chu Li scratched his already messy hair even more messily, and with an irritable face, he said after a while, "Captain Zhuang, I don't think it's too late tomorrow."
"En." Zhuang Shijie replied helplessly.
Although it wasn't intentional this time, the feeling of being slapped in the face as soon as he spoke really made him feel uncomfortable. Sure enough, as long as he meets Chu Li, nothing good will happen!
"The collected files are not enough." Chu Li smiled wryly, and murmured, "There was no paperless office more than ten years ago, and most of them were paper documents, which had not been entered into the computer, so it would be difficult to find them. "
"Speaking of which, this year is really unlucky." A small police officer interjected, "Like the Doctor Ripper in the past year, and the forty-nine lives this time, such a major case is rarely seen in a policeman's life." I encountered one, but this year only half a year has encountered two."
Everyone was speechless.
"Cheer up, after the case is solved, the whole team will be given a bonus and have a three-day holiday!" Chu Li shouted.
"Yeah!" Several young police officers cheered, and their movements became faster.
"Be serious." Su Wanyi reprimanded with a straight face, "What you clean up are not bones, but people!"
"Oh..." Several people were trained to lower their heads and hurried to work.
"Team Chu." Pei Qingzhi walked over after making the phone call, with a perfect smile on his face, "There is a gymnasium under Pei's name that has just been completed and has not yet been put into use. It is currently closed. Team Chu—do you need it?"
"..." Chu Li looked at him silently.
Pei Qingzhi's face was sincere, as if he was an enthusiastic and good citizen.
After a while, Chu Li was finally defeated, helplessly: "Then trouble President Pei."
There was a bit of gnashing of teeth inexplicably in the voice.
"You're welcome." Pei Qingzhi raised an eyebrow.
"Speaking of which, the pit here is a bit strange." Suddenly, a policeman said.
"Why is it strange?" Zhuang Shijie walked over immediately.
That man was Zhuang Shijie's right-hand man. He was squatting on the edge of the big pit at the moment, pointing to the soil layer and said, "Look, Captain Zhuang, the soil layer here is turned upside down. If it was dug from top to bottom, it wouldn't be like this. like... like..."
"Like what?" Zhuang Shijie urged impatiently.
"It's like it exploded from the inside." The policeman finally finished speaking.
"It's such a big pit, the machine can't get it up here. If it is dug by hand, it will take a day or two." Zhuang Shijie didn't find it strange.
"But there are no traces of explosions here." The policeman argued, "And the key point is that those bones are well preserved, and the scars are all old. They should have been injured when they were alive or just after death. If they were bombed If it is opened, it will probably hurt the bones in the pit."
Zhuang Shijie's expression froze when he heard this, and he finally looked at it squarely.
Especially when he remembered that he hadn't even seen a digging tool like a shovel from the beginning to the end.
"How did you dig that?" On the other side, Chu Li also asked curiously.
"It was blown up with spiritual power." Tang Xi shrugged, raised his hands to show him, and said with a bitter face, "My hands are still shaking, and I was blowing up the soil while protecting the bones. If it wasn't for the Chinese New Year The bottleneck was broken that time by accident, so it may not be possible."
Chu Li was silent for a while, then pointed at Zhuang Shijie: "How do you explain?"
"I asked someone to dig it." Pei Qingzhi listened quietly, and only then interrupted.
"Can they believe it?" Chu Li felt that he didn't even believe it.
"Don't you police talk about evidence?" Pei Qingzhi shrugged and said innocently, "There is no doubt about the crime. If you don't believe it, explain how you dug it yourself."
Chu Li was speechless.
"Pei Qingzhi, you are so reliable!" Tang Xi happily patted him on the shoulder.
Whether it's home travel or murder and arson, Pei Qingzhi - you deserve it!
