No. 7 Fish House

In the 17th year of the Republic of China, the tea city.

The first rain after the Beginning of Autumn was especially heavy. It washed the streets of the tea city very clean, and even washed out the dirty things that had been hidden for a long time.The most surprising thing was the corpse in the alley of Xique Street. The internal organs seemed to have been penetrated by the heavy rain, and there was nothing left inside.

People from the police station came and pulled up several cordons, but they couldn't stop these people who love to watch the excitement. They were obviously afraid, but driven by curiosity, they couldn't help but look again and again.

The corpse of a man lying in the garbage dump looks to be 26 or [-] years old, just at the prime of his life, his face has been dug up to look like a rotten tomato, so shocking that people dare not look directly at it.

A black police car drove up, mud and water splashed high, and the spectators stepped back one after another.Apart from the captain Yang Mingzhen, there is probably no one who can drive this car so smoothly.

The car door opened, and a man stepped out, with sword-like brows and star-eyed eyes, tall and upright, forcing the crowd back.

The little police officer who was working saw this person and rushed to meet him.

"Captain." The police officer said while pointing at the corpse, "The method of committing the crime is really cruel. The internal organs have been ripped out and the face has been dug up. It is exactly the same as the corpse found a few days ago. This is the third case of..."

He said the last sentence in an extremely low voice, for fear of being heard by the surrounding people.A few days ago, someone found such a corpse under the East Bridge. They thought it was just a simple vendetta, but when they were investigating, they found a second corpse.

Hearing the police report, Captain Yang Mingzhen's expression changed.He glanced at the corpse on the ground, the wounds were not at all like being cut open by a sharp weapon, but rather like being torn apart alive by a beast, and then the internal organs were dug out.

If the news of this matter leaks out, I'm afraid it will cause panic again.The police station pressed the matter again and again, and now that the third corpse appeared, the monster killing in the tea city might not be able to suppress it anymore.

Yang Mingzhen's face became more and more ugly when he heard the people's discussions.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Who reported the case?"

The police hurriedly pulled over the old man who was working the watch next to him. The old man seemed to be frightened out of his wits, his whole face was as pale as paper, and he was trembling all over.

Seeing that he couldn't say a word for a while, the little police officer said for him: "The watchman Zhang Zhinian is in charge of the watchman on Xique Street. He passed by here early in the morning and found this body."

At that time, Zhang Zhinian finished his corrections and was going home to sleep. At that time, the sky was still a little hazy. Because of the heavy rain last night, the ground was slippery and he fell down. He sat down on the garbage dump and touched it. I even touched the hair, and then touched it up, and it felt a bit like a human head.He turned around and saw a naked man lying on his right.

The man's entire face was gouged out, and nothing was left of his stomach. The huge wound was like a bloody mouth growing on his body.I don't know how much blood flowed, and the entire garbage dump was dyed red.

Zhang Zhinian was so frightened that he passed out, and hurried to the police station to report the incident after waking up.

After listening to Zhang Zhinian's stammering description, Yang Mingzhen bent down and took a closer look at the corpse.

"Does anyone know the deceased?" Yang Mingzhen glanced at the trousers worn by the deceased. The quality of the trousers looked very good, and the deceased must have been a rich man.Unlike the two people who died a few days ago, they investigated for a few days and found out that the two dead people were just ordinary homeless people, and no one recognized them.

After asking this question, someone next to him really spoke up.

"I recognize it." A man stepped out from the crowd, with a short stature, and looked like a thin monkey.Pointing to the dead body lying on the ground, he said, "This man is called Wang Xin, and he is a very bad gambler, greedy for money, and lustful."

Yang Mingzhen turned around and looked at him. Hearing his description, it seemed that he had a deep hatred for the deceased.

"This man's face has been dug up, how did you recognize his identity?" Yang Mingzhen looked at the skinny monkey suspiciously.

The thin monkey said: "Of course I recognize it. Look at the jade ring on his hand. It is the dowry of his wife Chen Caier."

Yang Mingzhen looked down and saw that the male corpse was indeed wearing a jade ring on his right index finger.

The thin monkey said disdainfully: "This man has no skills, and he doesn't know how to cherish a wife. Now that he is dead, God is merciful to Chen Cai'er."

"I hear what you mean, there is something in your words." Yang Mingzhen asked, "What's your name, and what is your relationship with the deceased?"

"My name is Chen Qiao, and I'm Chen Cai'er's cousin." Chen Qiao's eyes were full of hatred, "Wang Xin deserves more than his death, he can have today but my sister's spirit in heaven is taking revenge on him."

Yang Mingzhen immediately asked: "What do you mean? Your sister's death is related to him?"

Chen Qiao said: "After my cousin married him, I thought I could live happily ever after. Who knew that Wang Xin seemed to be a different person. The sweet words and sweet words before marriage turned into bad gambling and violence. Every time he lost money, I would go to drink, and when I got home drunk, I would beat my cousin."

"We all persuaded them to divorce, but my cousin would not listen. Because every time Wang Xin sobered up, he would confess to his sister. He beat and scolded himself, which made my cousin feel distressed and forced her to divorce. My cousin believed that he would change. Well, I waited for him at home every day, but who knew that this person would not change his private messages, and even found a coquettish fox outside."

"In a fit of anger, my cousin hanged herself. When my cousin died, Wang Xin took her cousin's dowry to spend time and money everywhere. The dowry originally contained many valuable things, but in the end he spent it until there was only a jade ring left."

Chen Qiao gritted his teeth, wishing he could drag out Wang Xin, who was dead on the ground, and hang him again.

"My cousin was very kind to my family. Who would have known that she would end up in such a miserable situation after marrying such a villain. If he didn't die, I would have wanted to kill him!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mingzhen raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Qiao majesticly: "What did you just say?"

Chen Qiao repeated: "I want to kill him."

Yang Mingzhen said: "Do you know what the consequences will be if you say such things in front of me?"

Chen Qiao smiled and said: "I know, the stern and selfless Captain Yang. Of course you can doubt me, but I really didn't do this case. If I did it, how could I leave this man's body in the garbage Waiting to be discovered by you? I will push him into the frying pan and fry him so that he will never be reborn!"

Yang Mingzhen said seriously: "Put away your dark thoughts, I just want to ask you two questions now."

Chen Qiao looked at him.

"First, when was the last time you saw Wang Xin? Second, who is the vixen you mentioned just now?"

Chen Qiao replied: "The last time I saw this villain was last night. As for the vixen, I don't know which vixen you are asking about, Inspector? After all, Wang Xin has quite a lot of vixens."

Yang Mingzhen asked again: "Where did you see him last night?"

"Where else is there, of course it is Longmen Hall, the largest fox den in the entire tea city."

What Chen Qiao said is true, Longmen Hall is the biggest place for fireworks in the tea city, and the women inside are all heavily made up, wriggling around in the dimly lit place, like beautiful snakes spit out letters, boldly seducing purses rich man.

Yang Mingzhen looked at Chen Qiao's attire and summed up two words: poverty.

"I don't think you look like someone who can afford to enter the Dragon Gate Hall. Did you go there specifically to find someone? Or was it Wang Xin you were looking for?" Yang Mingzhen asked directly, "What do you want to do?" ?”

Chen Qiao looked directly into Yang Mingzhen's eyes: "Kill him, as I said just now, Captain Yang has a bad memory?"

"How long have you been guarding him in the Longmen hall? Have you seen him come into contact with those people?"

Asking two questions in a row, Chen Qiao seemed a little impatient.

Chen Qiao smiled and said: "Didn't you say that I am poor? I was kicked out of Longmen Hall because I didn't have any money. How would I know who he had contact with?"

Yang Mingzhen stared at Chen Qiao's expression, wanting to see if he was lying.Chen Qiao said, "Have you finished asking Inspector Yang all the questions you should have asked? If this is the case, can I go home and cook? I'm hungry."

The police officer next to him waved his hand: "Let's go."

Chen Qiao walked out of the crowd of onlookers with a smile, still muttering: "People do evil, God will take it, retribution and retribution."

The police officer looked at Chen Qiao's leaving back and asked Yang Mingzhen: "Captain, do you want to send someone to follow that kid, I think he is lying."

Yang Mingzhen waved his hand: "No, Chen Qiao doesn't have that much ability. You can see that his figure is like a thin monkey, which is far from the deceased Wang Xinyi. He can't tear Wang Xin's stomach with both hands. Seeing that the wounds on Wang Xin's body are exactly the same as those of the two who died before. This is not some retribution at all, but a serial murder case!"

The policeman was shocked: "What kind of person can have such strength, and can hollow out the body of a living person with his hands without tools?"

Yes, what kind of talent can do it?

These people don't know, but Yang Mingzhen knows it very well.Because two years ago, he had witnessed his colleague's heart being dug out. He could have rescued him, but because of his injured leg, he could only hide in the dark and watch his colleague die tragically.

In that hunt, only Yang Mingzhen survived.The superior promoted him from a small policeman to the captain, but he couldn't even solve the case, and he didn't even save his colleagues.He asked himself repeatedly more than once, what qualifications did he have to be a detective.

All the answers turned into wry smiles at the corners of his mouth.

Monsters appeared in the tea city to kill people. In order to block the news, the people above ordered everyone not to tell the truth.Those who knew the secret died at the hands of the weirdo, but he survived.They promoted him in order to silence him.

I thought that after two years of peace, these strange things would be over.

He didn't know until recently that this was just a nightmare repeated.

If the man was still around, maybe he could still ask.But that person was forced away by him, and his whereabouts are still unknown...

He glanced at Wang Xin's body again, the cruel wound made his heart chill for no reason.

If his leg hadn't been injured, he would have taken that step, the damned person was Yang Mingzhen.Instead of the colleague who died to protect him...

The forensic doctor Yu Chun next to him saw that Yang Mingzhen's complexion was not good, and asked concerned: "Captain Yang, your complexion is not very good, are you sick?"

Yang Mingzhen waved his hands and said, "It's okay."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the young man in front of him again, and felt familiar, but he couldn't remember his name.

"What's your name?"

Yu Chung raised his eyebrows and smiled, and introduced himself in a warm voice: "Yu Chung, the new trainee forensic doctor, I had dinner at the same table with Inspector Yang a few days ago."

Inspector Yang nodded slightly. He remembered that there was such a person.Because the old forensic doctor in the police station reached the age of retirement, they had to hire a new one.On the first day this new talent came, everyone organized a meal together, and it was because of that meal that the first murder case occurred in the tea city that had been peaceful for a long time.

Yang Mingzhen reached out and patted Yu Chung's shoulder lightly: "Did you find anything?"

Yu Chung shook his head: "Wang Xin is the same as the deceased a few days ago. His internal organs were dug up and his face was destroyed. There are no important clues, and further inspection is needed."

Yang Mingzhen nodded: "Then take the body back to the police station and trouble the forensic doctor Yu."

"This is all my job, no trouble, no trouble." Yu Chung added, "But according to my observation, Captain Yang, you really should take a rest. You look so bad. If you fall ill, the murderer Who should catch it?"

"I see. I'll go to the pharmacy to get some medicine in a while." Yang Mingzhen ordered everyone, "Go back to the police station first, and I'll go out to do something."

Yu Chung nodded, smiled and watched Yang Mingzhen leave.
