Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel

According to the navigation, Chengen Dental Hospital is in Limin District, a fifteen-minute drive from Qianhe Street where the office is located.

Seeing that he was about to reach his destination in five minutes, Tan Jie's heart, which had been hanging all the way, finally fell to the ground.

It seemed that he was overthinking it. Bai Ji'an's driving skills were just a bit strong and nothing would happen to him.

Tan Jie stood in front of the Chengen Dental Hospital, looking at the small building with a single courtyard in front of him, with a look of shock on his face.

"This is nothing like what I thought."

"What are you thinking?"

"I thought it was just a small clinic on the first floor outside the community! I didn't expect that I have a two-story building to myself, and there is a yard, and there is a big tree in the yard!"

Tan Jie walked to the courtyard door, and the iron lock on it was broken. He wanted to pick it up and study it carefully, but he didn't dare touch it.

"Mr. Bai!"

Bai Ji'an put on his gloves and walked over. He picked up the broken part of the iron lock. The very neat cross section was obviously the work of lock scissors.

Bai Ji'an handed him a brand new pair of gloves and evidence bag, "Put them on and put them away. There may be fingerprints on them."

Although Tan Jie was shocked, he still didn't forget the work he had to do, "You can't do fingerprint testing, right?"

It seems that as long as someone can sell it, Bai Ji'an can definitely buy it.

"Ordinary people can send it to the local forensic center at their own expense, but I don't need it. I have connections."

Bai Ji'an raised his head. On the right side of the dark gray door, there is a worn-out white paper with a message from Dr. Wu Yuexi that Xing Jiali said.

"The 27th of last month." Tan Jie simply calculated, "It's already 38 days!"

"And there's no return date. That's even weirder."

"Really! Generally, people who open their doors for business will mark the number of days when they have a break. This is obviously a problem!"

Tan Jie turned around and looked around. When he came there, he noticed that this area was full of small buildings with single houses, and there were not many families in total. It was relatively quiet, and there were no people even on the road.

The door lock that was cut off in his hand, the notice on the door that was so worn and curled, the dentist who suddenly lost contact.

Tan Jie suddenly felt a cold wind blowing behind him, sending chills down his spine.

He turned to look at Bai Ji'an beside him, and subconsciously hid behind him, "He's not going to die."

"Go in and have a look."

Bai Ji'an pushed the iron sheet gently, stretched his long legs and got in through the small door on the left.

Tan Jie was left alone in a dilemma outside the door.

Suddenly, a rough and hoarse cry came from behind. He turned around and saw that at some point, two black crows had fallen on the courtyard wall behind them, staring at him with four gleaming eyes!

What an ominous sign!

Where did Tan Jie see crows in the city center? For a moment, goosebumps broke out all over my body.

He raised his voice, not caring about the man's face, and shouted in the direction where Bai Ji'an disappeared: "Wait for me! Mr. Bai!"

"Don't come in!"

Tan Jie immediately stopped the car and parked it under the big tree in the middle of the courtyard.

Bai Ji'an walked out of the darkness with backlight. He stood at the door with a serious look on his face, "Are you sure you want to come in?"

Tan Jie was frightened by the suddenly serious Bai Ji'an. He glanced inside and asked stumblingly: "...Li, what happened inside? Is it true that someone is dead?"

"There are no bodies."

"Then, what's wrong?"

"There was blood."

"Is there... much blood?" Before Bai Ji'an could answer, Tan Jie swallowed nervously and clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind, "I want to go in!"

Bai Ji'an threw him a sea-blue ball casually, "Put it on and come in."

Tan Jie untied the ball, and it turned out to be a pair of crumpled shoe covers.

Walking into the first floor, opposite the main entrance is a consultation desk with various dental models on it. There is also a glass display cabinet next to it, which contains a variety of denture models of different materials and colors.

There are two rooms across the consultation desk, the larger one is the consulting room, and the smaller one next to it is the toilet and bathroom. Diagonally opposite the two rooms is the staircase leading to the second floor. The staircase is not open, but like a small passage. Except for the handrail on the left, there is a wall on the right, which is only wide enough for one person to pass.

The lights in the room were not turned on, and the relatively claustrophobic stairs were not illuminated. Tan Jie stared at the almost vertical staircase, feeling that it was dark and dangerous.

He felt that the design of the stairs was very unreasonable and should have been renovated later.

Tan Jie stepped onto the stairs and Bai Ji'an was already standing in front of the mahogany railing on the second floor, waiting for him.

Following the direction of Bai Ji'an's gaze, Tan Jie finally saw the legendary blood stain on the first and a half floor platform.

The blood had dried and turned black, and was as big as a male adult's hand.

Except for the largest pool, there were black spots of different sizes in a splatter shape all around. They should also be blood stains, but it had been too long and had been dried out long ago.

Tan Jie followed Bai Ji'an around the second floor. There were two rooms on the second floor, one sunny and one dark, both connected to the balcony. Except for the mess in the consulting room on the sunny side, the other side was as neat as if nothing had happened.

Tan Jie raised his head and glanced around and said, "Every house has a monitor. If you look for it, you should know what happened."

"It's useless, all the monitors have been turned off."

"It's turned off...then something big must have happened! Otherwise we should call the police!"

Bai Ji'an ignored him. After walking around two rooms, he was about to go downstairs. I walked to the half-blood-stained spot on the first floor and stared at it for a long time, looking left and right. From time to time, I would come up again, looking at the stairs carefully, thinking silently.

Tan Jie didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only stand and watch him quietly.

Suddenly, Bai Ji'an stood up and was about to go downstairs, "Follow me, don't step on the blood."

Even if someone begs him, he won't step on it!

Tan Jie followed Bai Ji'an and rushed out of this house full of mysteries as if he had been saved. He stood under the big tree in the courtyard, leaning on the familiar tree trunk and breathing in the fresh air.

Bai Ji'an stood under the shade of the tree. He looked up at the lush branches and leaves and asked lightly: "Do you know this tree?"

Tan Jie didn't even raise his head. He kicked the blackened and rotten fruit that fell on the ground and said, "Plums."

"Then have you ever heard of a saying?"

Tan Jie didn't know which common saying Bai Ji'an would say again. He shook his head, "Which one?"

Bai Ji'an lowered his head, looked at Tan Jie's feet, and said, "Peaches nourish people, apricots hurt people, and dead people are buried under the plum tree."

Bury dead people...

Tan Jie used all his strength and slowly lowered his head, looking at the yellow land with a few fallen leaves on his back, imagining that there was a dead person buried under his feet, frozen in place.
