riddle

Chapter 4 Ritual

Xu Heng's clues had just been found, and the second victim appeared, and everyone felt a little physically and mentally exhausted.

Tiredness is one aspect, the case still needs to be investigated, and the scene must also be resolved.

"Where's the location?" Han Nuoshang didn't care about reminiscing with Lin Yu. As a criminal police captain, he knew exactly what to do now.

"In the box of a KTV named Weiying." Lin Yu is worthy of being the former deputy team member of the criminal investigation team. He speaks concisely and clearly without the slightest procrastination.

"Captain, I have prepared the tools. Shall we start now?" Bai Yinchen was already holding the toolbox, standing side by side with Hua Xiaolu, waiting for instructions.

Han Nuoshang nodded, except for Lin Chenyi, everyone else went to the scene together, and Lin Yu followed.

In Han Nuoshang's car, Team Han and Lin Yu sat in the front, while Gu Ci and Chu Han sat in the back.

"Why did the anti-pornography and anti-illegal group find the corpse of our case?" Han Nuoshang asked.

"It's because they received a report today that the KTV was suspected of pornography. Not only the anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities, but also the anti-drug side were dispatched together. Our economics department is here to assist, and both sides are too busy, so I let me Did you come here to send a message." Lin Yu is actually quite busy, but in comparison, those two groups of people don't even have time to eat, and they are arresting and interrogating.

Han Nuoshang was driving the car, listening to Lin Yu's words, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lin Yu looked back at Gu Ci in the back seat and said, "Hi, I'm Lin Yu." Lin Yu noticed this young man from the beginning, but he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Lin Yu naturally knew that the criminal investigation team would come to replace him with a newcomer, and he was very interested in this newcomer.

Gu Ci was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Lin Yu was greeting him, "Hello, Gu Ci."

At first I thought it was because he was originally the deputy team member of the Xing reconnaissance team. Gu Ci didn't want to see him, but Lin Yu was not a young and ignorant young man. Judging from Gu Ci's reaction just now, Gu Ci didn't hate him, he just not give a damn about.

Gu Ci should be living in his own world, holding an objective state towards other people in his life, like an outsider, but his behavior is a bit too obvious, but anyone with some experience can see that, Does Gu Ci want others not to get close to him? How can he be so bearish at such a young age!

Seeing that Lin Yu turned back, Gu Ci didn't say anything. He really didn't care much.

Weiying KTV--

When everyone walked into the horrific KTV box, Gu Ci immediately smelled the fragrance of flowers and nodded to Han Nuoshang.

Han Nuoshang waved his hand to signal that he understood, and at the same time asked Bai Yinchen to go forward to collect evidence.

Gu Ci looked around twice, and walked towards the only painting in the box.

He studied the painting carefully, it was a painting with an extremely wild style, the chaotic lines shouted loudly, without any rules, and he didn't know what the author wanted to express.

Seeing that Gu Ci had been looking at the painting, Han Nuoshang walked towards him, and at the same time said that he couldn't appreciate such a work!

"Did you find anything?"

"Take down this painting." Gu Ci didn't turn his head, he knew that Han Nuoshang was right behind him.

Han Nuoshang walked over and took off the painting without any nonsense.

Fourteen photos were pasted on the wall, and two of them were crossed out with red dye. Among them, the person on the top one was Xu Heng, and the other one should be the one lying in the box now.

"Hongxue, come and take a look."

Han Nuoshang called Ying Hongxue over.

Ying Hongxue studied the wall carefully, glanced at the people in the photo, and pointed to a young man in the photo.

"Boss, this person will be the third victim."

Han Nuoshang frowned, while Gu Ci asked with interest, "How?"

"The murderer did it on purpose. He let us see the photos here, to see these people who are about to be killed by him. He is showing off, showing off that we can't catch him. The order of these photos is very special. Xu Heng is the first This one, the one in the box is the bottom one, and then it will be the far left or the far right, but I tend to lean towards the one on the far right because of inertia."

Gu Ci listened, took out his phone and took two photos, and sent them back to Lin Chenyi.

After a while, Lin Chenyi's call came in, and Gu Ci turned on the speakerphone directly, so that Han Nuoshang and the others could hear it too.

"Deputy team, I have found their identities in the photos you sent. The first one is Su Cheng, a graduate student from the Department of Chemistry, Tongda University. It is said that he usually behaves in a panic and is still preparing for the Ph.D. My child, I don’t know what the actual situation is, after all, what I found is only the general data.” Lin Chenyi walked around the sliding chair in the office, and then looked at another photo on the computer, “Second One is a sophomore student in Yuancheng No. [-] Middle School, his name is Wang Gu, he has a withdrawn personality and a single-parent family, do you want me to find out his home address for you?"

"Look for it quickly, don't talk nonsense." Ying Hongxue stared at the photos on the wall, always feeling that things were not that simple.

"The third floor of Building 605, South Lane, East District. Today is the weekend. You should be able to find him now."

"Chu Han, I will take you to the third floor of the 605th floor of South Lane, East District to find a high school student named Wang Gu, and bring him back to the police station to assist in the investigation. The others will see if there are any missing clues. Have you noticed?" Han Nuoshang looked at those photos, feeling a little annoyed, there are so many perverts these days.

Chu Han took the order and went to find Wang Gu together with Song Zhiyue.

"Boss, the cause of death is preliminarily estimated to be the same as the last one, but the corpse was completely submerged in dye, and the exact time of death will have to be brought back for autopsy to find out." He asked his colleagues to put Su Cheng in a body bag and take him back.

"This place is very different from the last time, and this should be the scene of the first crime. I always feel that the painting styles of the two murder scenes are different." Gu Ci tapped his temple with his fingers, as if he was considering which method to use. word.

Han Nuoshang was speechless to Gu Ci's method of studying the painting style of the murder scene, but what he said was indeed correct.

"Could it be that there are two murderers?" Han Nuoshang looked at Gu Ci with a little humility.

The latter shook his head lightly, not knowing whether he didn't want to say it or didn't know.

"Boss, we're going back." Hua Xiaolu waved at Han Nuoshang, and got into the police car with the body.

"Student Hongxue, do you have any ideas?" Han Nuoshang raised his eyebrows, looking at Ying Hongxue.

"The modus operandi is too similar, but the modus operandi is indeed the same as Gu Fu said. The style of painting is different. Could it be a dual personality?"

Han Nuoshang also considered the possibility of dual personality along with Ying Hongxue, but Gu Ci shook his head.

"There is also a possibility that the crime was committed by a gang. One person gave the order and others carried it out, so it is normal to have a very different style of work. Moreover, this place is different from the scene where the body was found last time. The deceased died here. Here is the The scene of the first crime." Gu Ci noticed that there were some slight signs of struggle around, if it was just throwing the corpse, there was no need to do this to this extent.

"I also think that gangs are more likely." Hearing Gu Ci's analysis, Lin Yu became more fond of this young man, and his ability is indeed good. It would be great if he could express his heart a little more.

"It doesn't matter, let's go back and talk about it first. Chu Han and the others should have brought Wang Gu back. Let's go and ask, maybe we will gain something." Han Nuoshang sighed and left the box.

police station--

As soon as Han Nuoshang entered the door, he saw his team members busy distributing snacks.

Gu Ci sighed again, it seems that Han Nuoshang is not the only one, the style of painting of the entire criminal investigation team is very strange.

"Who bought it?" Han Nuoshang looked at the beef jerky that Lin Chenyi handed him. This brand of snacks looks not cheap.

"I don't know. Someone sent it here. It is said that it was for his young master's colleague, so we split it."

"Then do you know who that young master is?"

Lin Chenyi looked at him innocently, "I don't know?"

Han Nuoshang reached out and knocked on his head. Lin Chenyi had expected that his boss would do something wrong, so he took precautions and hid beside Ying Hongxue.

Looking around for a week, Han Nuoshang looked at his team members, it seemed that none belonged to the young master, could it be that they hid too deeply?

After a long time, Team Han suddenly remembered that there was another one, not only the clothes and appearance, but also the behavior, and yesterday's takeaway - if Gu Ci is the young master, he deserves it.

Thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Gu Ci, just as their eyes collided, they looked at each other for five seconds and then moved their eyes away.

"Snacks should be bought by Uncle Huang, you can take them if you like." Gu Ci said.

"Thank you, deputy team." Everyone seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and rushed towards the snacks.

"Han team, my task has been completed, it's time to go back to my own position." Lin Yu still has a job in the economics department.

"I send you."

"Okay!" Lin Yushun took a bag of beef jerky and walked out, followed by Han Nuoshang.

The two walked slowly, feeling inexplicably walking.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Han Nuoshang stopped and was the first to break the silence.

Lin Yu laughed. After all, he had been partners for so many years, and they still had a certain tacit understanding with each other.

Lin Yu leaned against the wall of the aisle, lit a cigarette for himself, and did not make a sound in a hurry.

Han Nuoshang didn't ask, he knew that Lin Yu was organizing his own language at this time.

"The newcomer to your team is called Gu Ci."

"Um!"

"You have to know that a teammate who lacks trust is much more dangerous than a clever enemy." Lin Yu recalled the scene when he greeted Gu Ci in the car just now.

"Is it so obvious?"

"What are you going to do?" Lin Yu asked instead of answering his question.

"What else can I do, find a way to gain his trust, what? Do you have a good suggestion?"

Lin Yu thought for a while, then shook his head, "It depends on your ability! My intuition tells me that it is impossible for me to gain the trust of your deputy team in my life. So I don't plan to help you anymore, you can do your best."

"So ruthless?" Han Nuoshang looked at Lin Yu with a sad face, but the latter ignored him directly.

Team Han was sad, Lin Yu turned around and left directly, too lazy to care about the drama.

After Lin Yu left, Han Nuoshang stood there by himself for a while, thinking about how to gain Gu Ci's trust. He had to launch a strategy against Gu Ci. Of course, it was a strategy to make them become friends and trust each other. But I don't know how it will end.

Chu Han and Song Zhiyue had already visited, and brought Wang Gu back by the way, and settled him down first before making other arrangements.

Everyone was waiting for their captain to come back for a meeting, but even Han Nuoshang hadn't come back, and they didn't know where he sent someone.

Seeing that Han Nuoshang hadn't come back, Gu Ci came out to look for it, and found Han Nuoshang leaning against the wall in the corridor in a daze.

"Team Korea."

Gu Ci shouted, waking Han Nuoshang out of his contemplation.

"what happened?"

"It's a meeting."

"..."

Accidentally forgot, and there will never be a similar thing to happen next time.

Chu Han took out the records of the visit, and stated to everyone what he had found out, "The situation in Sucheng is similar to that of Xu Heng. He is a lover of death."

"What is a death lover?" Han Nuoshang asked.

"You will understand after reading this." Song Zhiyue distributed the photos in her hands to everyone.

The photo is of Su Cheng's room, which is full of dead animals and human bones, the one in Gu Ci's hand is the one with the strongest smell.

What Gu Ci got was a photo in the refrigerator, where there were some half-rotten bird carcasses, all kinds of them.

It took a lot of effort for Gu Ci not to spit it out. He could smell the rancid smell through the photo. He couldn't help it, so he conveniently handed the photo to Han Nuoshang next to him.

Han Nuoshang glanced at the photo Gu Ci stuffed him, then at Gu Ci's aggrieved expression, and finally saw his real expression once, and couldn't help laughing.

The corners of Gu Ci's eyes twitched, what's so funny, this person's brain is out of his wits.

"Hahaha..." Han Nuoshang laughed even harder, and it took him a while to calm down. Gu Ci was already unable to complain, "Let's get down to business."

"Zhiyue and I went to ask Su Cheng's tutor, and his tutor said that Su Cheng is usually quite withdrawn, he doesn't like to go with his classmates, and always walks alone, and his classmates don't like him very much, but His mentor thought he was kind."

"Oh -- how do you say it?" Gu Ci turned his eyes, he really wanted to know what kind of kindness the person who collected so many corpses had.

"Ah!" Song Zhiyue curled her lips, and said helplessly, "Mr. Su Cheng said that he would often pick up some injured animals and take them home. His tutor thought that Mr. Su Cheng was adopting these animals."

"Did the adoption end up like this?" Ying Hongxue held up the photo in her hand, and suddenly wanted to rush into the morgue and kick him again.

"Is there anything else?" Han Nuoshang had nothing to say.

No matter what Su Cheng has done, he is dead now, what Han Nuoshang has to do is to find out the cause of his death, which is his duty.

Bai Yinchen handed the autopsy report to Han Nuoshang, drinking coffee in his hand and said, "There are signs of binding on Su Cheng's hands, and some scratches on his body, it should be because of a certain degree of struggle, also because He died by injecting poison, but the dose of the drug this time may not be accurate, so Su Cheng did not die completely after injecting the poison, but he had already lost the strength to struggle. The murderer probably thought he was dead, but in fact Su Cheng Cheng died between three and four in the morning, and the poison in his body was injected before eleven o'clock last night."

Han Nuoshang just wanted to nod, but Lin Chenyi over there suddenly jumped up, pointed at the computer and shouted.

"Boss, I found something."

Han Nuoshang had no choice but to dig out his ears, "I can hear you, please keep your voice down."

Lin Chenyi couldn't care less about pinching Han Nuoshang at this time, he connected his computer to the big screen in the office and played two videos.

Gu Ci has seen the first paragraph, which is the surveillance camera on the street opposite the scene that Xu Heng secretly discovered, and the second paragraph should be the surveillance camera at the entrance of Weiying KTV, but he hasn't had time to watch it yet.

The two sides are completely different scenes, and the various people coming and going can't attract everyone's attention, but the gray van with an ugly appearance has caught the eyes of everyone in the criminal investigation team.

"You said, what are the chances that the same car appeared at the two crime scenes is a coincidence?" Gu Ci asked.

"I don't believe it's really such a coincidence." Han Nuoshang sneered, and patted Lin Chenyi, "Check the information of this car."

"Yes, boss."

Lin Chenyi immediately sat down and started working.

10 minute later --

Gu Ci looked at the strings of codes in his computer, and was a little puzzled, "Why is it so complicated?"

"I'm also very helpless. I just found out that the monitor has been tampered with. I'm cleaning up the virus right now." Lin Chenyi tapped the keyboard quickly, while murmuring in a low voice, "I thought I was a few catties and a few taels. I just want to use the government's monitoring to see if I can't kill you, do you think you have the skills of a master, how is it possible..."

Just when everyone couldn't bear his nagging, Lin Chenyi finally stopped, and there were two people's identity information in front of the computer.

Gu Ci picked it up and looked at it carefully, one of them looked familiar, and he couldn't quite remember...

"This person... seems to be Xu Heng's classmate. I met him in Hu Yulian's office yesterday." Gu Ci pointed to one of the materials.

Han Nuoshang took it over to see, it was indeed true, but he couldn't remember it very much, if Gu Ci hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have remembered it at all.

"Good memory." Han Nuoshang sighed.

When Gu Ci heard his words, he only raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't express anything, neither humble nor arrogant, promising.

Han Nuoshang picked up another document. This person is definitely not a student. He looks like he is over 50, so old.

Ying Hongxue stood beside him, looked at the information in his hand, and quietly said, "He is the same age as you, only 30 years old, not as old as you think."

Han Nuoshang didn't feel embarrassed when he saw through his thoughts, he just reached out to pat Ying Hongxue.

Ying Hongxue hurried to Gu Ci's side to prevent Han Nuoshang from plotting against her.

Master Han Nuoshang doesn't care about villains, he still has business to do, so he can't play around for too long.

"Chen Yi, can I find out their addresses?"

"Boss, here you are." Lin Chenyi turned the computer around, and there were the addresses of the two people on it.

Han Nuoshang ignored the look on Lin Chenyi's face begging for praise, and directly started working according to the schedule.

"Chu Han, immediately lead someone to set off to catch the suspect."

"Okay, boss."
