Fangs

"Finished?" Xie Jing asked him.

"En." Bai Ye walked towards him, and the two went to the crime scene.

"Who called you?"

"Zhong Jie."

"What did Sister Wu say, about the case?" Xie Jing's face is much more normal now, at least not as pale as when he just got out of the car.

"Yes." Bai Ye said, "She said that Shi Ya saw that her condition had stabilized a bit, and she also talked about her being in Tianzhu Mountain."

"That's a good thing. If she and Yang Zijie really saw something in Tianzhu Mountain, or met the murderer, then at least they can roughly infer when the murderer left Tianzhu Mountain. There will be discoveries."

Bai Ye smiled and rubbed his hair, "This girl Shi Ya said that she encountered a ghost, can you believe it?"

"If it's at night, she and Yang Zijie are probably very panicked. Under such circumstances, it's a normal reaction to see something wrong. Moreover, in such deep mountains and old forests, people's fears are often mature. It was doubled." Unexpectedly, Xie Jing didn't feel anything, he said very seriously, "Maybe they really saw something, but under the circumstances at that time, they based on the people or things they saw. The state of mind is concretized."

"Yes." Bai Ye nodded, "You're quite reasonable." Immediately afterwards, he stood still and raised his chin forward, "The crime scene is here."

On the top of the steep hill not far away, yellow and fallen leaves were piled up on the ground, and a yellow and black cordon was propped up on the open space to circle the location where the body was found.

Xie Jing took a sip of water, looked around, pointed to the sunken ground behind him and said, "That's where we found Shi Ya and Yang Zijie at that time, although it looks quite close, but it's because we stood It's at a high place. If you actually walk, you still need some distance." He looked at Bai Ye, "Sister Wu said that Shi Ya's condition is stable, and she also said what happened to her. Let's just follow what she said, what the hell happened to her? , Did you ask them if they encountered the victim's body?"

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, "I didn't think of this question, I will ask Zhong Jie to find a way to ask again later."

Forensic doctor Cai Cai rubbed his old waist, leaned on the tree trunk and shouted beside the cordon of the crime scene, "Hey! What did you call me for? If you have any questions, ask quickly, there are too many insects here."

"Wait!" Bai Ye looked at Xie Jing, "You take a rest first, I'll go over and have a look."

"Yeah." Xie Jing nodded obediently, found a tree trunk that looked relatively smooth and leaned against it.

"According to the determination of the time of the victim's death, it rained heavily on the night of the crime, and the scene was severely damaged. Did you find any blood on the scene at that time?" Bai Ye walked towards Cai Cai's forensic doctor while wearing gloves.

Forensic doctor Cai Cai raised his hand and thumped his shoulder and said, "Basically, except for the victim, there is no blood at the scene with the naked eye, and the blood latent test did not find it. But I walked around with luminol reagent According to the position where the blood was sprayed, the victim should have been cut to death while standing."

Bai Ye played back the location of the victim at that time in his mind, and in addition, the victim mentioned in the autopsy did not have any traces of dragging and binding, so he should have fallen to the ground directly after his throat was cut.

Bai Ye raised his hand and made a horizontal chop, "If I stab the victim like this under the assumption that I am the murderer, causing the victim's common carotid artery to be damaged, the blood that splatters should also splash on me It is."

Forensic doctor Cai Cai nodded, "Your guess is not a problem, the victim's carotid artery was damaged... Oh, what happened in this place, everyone knows what happened, a little exaggeration, isn't it what we often say, The blood can be sprayed on the ceiling, but judging from the reaction of the reagents on site, the angle of the blood sprayed basically coincides with the horizontal direction, which proves that the murderer's weapon was directly inserted into the common carotid artery. But the middle position, that is, you The simulated situation just now proves that the murderer should have cut the throat while standing behind the deceased."

"Behind?"

"Hmm." Cai Cai forensic doctor nodded, "Because the reagent reaction is a normal form of multiple long needle-like punctures caused by splashed blood, which proves that when the victim's common carotid artery was damaged and sprayed, her front Apart from the bloodstains caused by the trees on the horizontal surface, there was no other cover. So it is very likely that the murderer started behind the victim."

After Cai Cai's forensic doctor finished speaking, he looked around, and whispered in Bai Ye's ear, "There is also the matter of that bullet. I suspect it may be a professional killer."

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows and moved away a little, "Is it because the victim didn't have any probing injuries, resistance injuries, or scratches caused by struggling to block?"

"Well, there were scratches, but it was discovered during the autopsy that they were all scratches caused by branches while walking."

"This proves that the victim was completely killed by one blow. The murderer is not only of high quality, he is also definitely a practicing family." Bai Ye suddenly thought of something, and shouted at Da Biao, "Come here .”

Brother Da Biao sifted through several layers of soil and went back, but he still didn’t find anything. He was feeling depressed now. Hearing Bai Ye’s question, he squinted at him a few times, and said sullenly, “Why are you calling me?”

"Did you search for the remaining guns at the scene?"

"Oh!" Brother Huang Biao stomped his feet, "I searched, I must have searched. Take a good look, we are going to scoop up all of this quickly."

"Looking at your reaction, that is, there was no gun, bullet, or shell casing found at the scene?"

Huang Biao shook his head, "No."

Bai Ye stared slightly, there is no fingerprint on the bullet, this is not difficult to do, as long as it is a new, well-stored bullet, it is understandable that there is no fingerprint.That is, the murderer deliberately put the bullet on the victim?What was the murderer trying to prove?Or do you want to induce the police to understand something?

"I'm asking you." Bai Ye looked at Cai Cai's forensic doctor, "You said that the murderer didn't stand in front of the victim to kill, so what else could he do besides standing behind the victim?" Can the situation guarantee that the blood will not splash on the body?"

Forensic doctor Cai Cai tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's very difficult, if it's not from behind, in the case of stabbing the victim's common carotid artery, no matter how fast you hide in front, the blood from the damaged common carotid artery will be ejected faster If you don’t have any friends, you will be splashed more or less.”

"That is to say, are you sure that the murderer did it from behind?"

Cai Cai's forensic doctor couldn't listen to these words, "Then how can I be sure about this, who knows what kind of pervert the murderer is, otherwise you look at the deep mountains and old forests, and come here to kill someone, and let him go!" A bullet, isn't this sick? Besides, judging from the killing method, the murderer must be very skilled and powerful, and his psychological quality is extremely high!"

Yes, such a place, a dead person may never find it in his life.

Suddenly Bai Ye seemed to think of something, yes, if it wasn't for Yang Zijie's incident, Bai Ye and the others would never have come to this place, and no one would have discovered the murder.

Wait, how did they even come to this place in the first place?

Bai Ye's eyes moved slightly, it seemed that the whole series of incidents were involved because the Hesheng Supermarket couple who were opposite the City Bureau suspected of receiving a kidnapping call at that time!

Bai Ye raised his head, took out the satellite phone and dialed out, "Old Xiao, hurry up and check the phone number of the suspected kidnapper who called the Hesheng Supermarket couple."

So who killed Zhao Xingui, and then made such a big circle to bring them here?What is the purpose?

Bai Ye was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that Xie Jing came to his side.Xie Jing raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "Captain, what are you thinking?"

Bai Ye came back to his senses, and breathed out silently, "What else could I be thinking about, thinking about the case."

"Tell me something?"

Bai Ye looked down at him, then led him to find a place with slightly flat ground, and briefly recounted the case to him.

Xie Jing nodded, "That is, now you suspect that the call you made to the owner of Hesheng Supermarket was actually trying to lure us to Tianzhu Mountain on purpose?"

"I can't rule out this possibility, otherwise you said before that you might not be able to find this kind of place if you kill someone in your lifetime?"

"Ah?" Xie Jing rubbed his nose embarrassingly, "Did I say that?"

"Have."

"Then there's nothing wrong with my analysis." Xie Jing curled his lips, "Besides, if you doubt this point, after analyzing the whole case, something is wrong. Since the murderer wanted to let the police know, then why? Why don't you just kill someone who is more suspicious? For example, a wealthy businessman or local tyrant?"

"How to say?"

"Look, this victim has no father and no mother. He belongs to the low-level migrant population. Basically, he disappeared and no one helped to call the police. If the call was arranged by the murderer, then he deliberately let the police know I have committed a crime. Since this is the case, it doesn’t matter if I kill anyone. Anyway, for crimes like this, death is treated as a corpse. However, it may be because of the victim’s identity that it is not easy to be found if he is missing, so he can carry it out. crime."

Bai Ye watched Xie Jing's serious analysis of the case in deep thought, thinking that he was not surprised by the murder method in this case, maybe Xie Jing didn't know what happened six years ago.

At that time, the news of Liao Shanhua's sudden death outside the Shifanghui caused a sensation in the entire mixed-race intranet, and the arrest warrant was circulated in the system for a whole month.Although it was settled in the end because it didn't know who the murderer was, it is still hanging up now, that is, Shifanghui will still pursue this matter.

Bai Ye raised his hand and pinched his earlobe and asked, "Do you still remember when I asked you about the Desert/Eagle?"

"remember."

"Then what do you think the murderer meant by putting the bullet in the victim's clothes?"

Xie Jing was puzzled, "Why did the murderer let it go? What if it was the victim's own?" Xie Jing's voice had just finished, when he suddenly sensed something was wrong, and smiled awkwardly, "Yeah, I I forgot, there are no fingerprints on the bullet, so this situation can almost be ruled out. Hmm... If the murderer fired it, it must be foretelling something?"

"So?" Bai Ye motioned for him to continue.

Xie Jing blinked, "The sand eagle is broadly defined as a hunting gun. The murderer put the sand eagle's bullet on the dead body? Does it mean prey? Of course, this is just my own guess. How could I know what the murderer was thinking?" .”

"If this is the case, why didn't the murderer just shoot? Enjoy the thrill of chasing prey, and a pistol like the Sand Eagle, with this caliber, is basically missing where it is shot."

Xie Jing looked around. Since there were already several re-examinations, there were not many people on the scene. Forensic doctor Cai Cai and brother Huang Biao didn't know what they were talking about. They were talking together, and no one noticed.He raised his hand and rubbed Bai Ye's face, and said with a smile, "Didn't I say everything just now, and I don't know what the murderer is thinking, and you still ask me this."

Bai Ye nodded thoughtfully, then quickly placed a kiss on Xie Jing's lips.

Xie Jing trembled in fright, retreated a little distance, and leaned against the tree, "Why are you always like this? What if someone sees you?"

"If you see it, you will see it. I kiss my boyfriend and I still have to look at the face?"

"..." Xie Jing thought about it carefully, indeed, it was quite reasonable, but he was actually powerless to refute it.

Xie Jing turned his head and said with a fake cough, "Then you came here to analyze the method of killing?"

"Well, due to the torrential rain on the night of the incident, the scene was completely destroyed. The relevant murderer's footprints and other things have not been extracted, and the scene is basically left untouched."

"I remember you said that this victim is an orphan, and basically the interpersonal and social conditions belong to the bottom floating population, so it shouldn't be a vendetta?"

Bai Ye nodded, "I think so too, I guess I want to attract some attention?!"

Xie Jing felt a pain in his head, or else it would be a pit of fire for criminal investigators, as far as the use of their brains is concerned, they are almost catching up with programmers.

"But it can't be said that nothing was found. If it is really as you guessed, the phone call was premeditated to attract the attention of the police. Then the murderer should know Yang Zijie and others. Maybe we can start with Yang Zijie and the others. After all, isn’t this Yang Zijie’s family background okay? If his parents do business and get to know some high-ranking officials, it’s not impossible. However, the source of Shaying is really hard to find out. These days, I like a little guns Those with a little bit of skill can basically get them, and to be honest—” Xie Jing lowered his voice, “Didn’t I follow Dai Ting’s subordinates before, he has this gun himself. But he doesn’t He likes to use it, he usually likes to play bazooka." Xie Jing's tone was quite teasing.

On behalf of the court?Hearing Xie Jing's tone, it seemed that he couldn't tell how he felt about this person, Bai Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, "This person Dai Ting?"

"Oh?" Xie Jing was thoughtful, "If he is still alive, he should be in his 50s this year, right?" So Xie Jing told Bai Ye that Dai Ting was a bad old man, and he was really right.

"Why use if?"

Xie Jing ground his molars, "When the commanding officer encircled and suppressed Jin'an, I was responsible for leading them into the encirclement circle set up, because the thugs under Dai Ting's subordinates were basically ordinary people. The way to contend with the Commander-in-Chief, it will be very convenient to clean up when the time comes. But later, the Dai Court escaped. Although the Dai Court trusted me on the surface and let me follow him all the time, but if something happened, he would not let me go. I followed suit. Maybe people like them always have a natural sensitivity to danger. I don’t know what happened later. It is said that Dai Ting fell off a cliff while escaping. The terrain is complex. You should also know that Jin'an is located on the southwest border, and there are many undeveloped primitive jungles. Those environments are not comparable to Tianzhu Mountain. So it is speculated that Dai Ting is dead, but there is no body See, so I can only say yes."

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, did Dai Ting really sense the danger in advance as Xie Jing said, so he ran out alone?

Bai Ye squeezed her chin and asked, "Then what do you think of your former customer?" Bai Ye thought of something, and added, "You are not allowed to say anything like this."

"..." Xie Jing couldn't help but smile because of Bai Ye's words, "It's hard to say, Dai Ting. I don't think this person is very good. He is actually a very mean person, the kind who keeps using It’s very embarrassing for others, and the things that they don’t want to mention have always restrained them. For example, when I followed him, he would always deliberately emphasize to me that if he hadn’t saved me, I might have died outside , so I repay him, all kinds of things." Xie Jing shrugged, showing an indifferent appearance.

Bai Ye said sensitively, "He saved you?"

Xie Jing didn't want to evade this question, so he said directly, "It's just like Dai Ting said, I almost died outside, he was the one who saved me at that time, and in order to repay him, I just worked by his side. "Maybe because the sun is a bit dazzling, Xie Jing raised his hand to cover his face.He smiled awkwardly, "Anyway, for me at the time, in a place like Jin'an, following under Dai Ting's hands was indeed a good shelter."

He spoke lightly, but Bai Ye gently and forcefully took away his hand, looking directly at the somewhat pale face, "It's okay, everyone has the right to choose their own life."

Xie Jing's face was a little stiff, and he said awkwardly, "Do you think I'm a bad person?"

Bai Ye was originally standing a little higher than Xie Jing, and Xie Jing still had his head down at this moment, from his angle, he could see Xie Jing's black hair with tiny specks of light, and a small patch of fair cheek, Slightly gazing at the golden light from the afternoon sun.

Bai Ye hadn't considered this aspect before, and the reason why Xie Jing was unwilling to look directly at his relationship with him for a long time was actually this.It may be because of the environment in which he lived since he was a child that Bai Ye did not pay close attention to the so-called gap between the rich and the poor, class thresholds, or even the attitude of survival.But at this moment, when Xie Jing once faced his statement, he was more surprised than surprised, and he was cautious and even ashamed in his bones that he didn't dare to touch him. heart.

The two fell silent at the same time, the mountain wind whizzed past with yellow fallen leaves and distant human voices. After a long time, Bai Ye said slowly, "Do you remember what I told you?"

Xie Jing's eyes were red, and he looked at him in a little confusion.

Bai Ye reached out and hooked the back of his neck, and rubbed his cold and pale cheeks vigorously, "There is no distinction between good and bad with me, I only recognize myself as the enemy."

How to define good or bad?This world has always been like this, the eyes of the public are subjective manifestations, and people who do bad things never take the initiative to admit that what they did is bad. Of course, to a large extent, they do not think it is a bad thing.In the case of conflicting ideas, the one who has a firm foothold and has executive power is often the benchmark.

As if the air was frozen into ice and then cracked, Xie Jing's eyes slowly focused, and he opened his lips, but he didn't know what to say.

Xie Jing looked back, and after a long time, he shifted his gaze to Bai Ye's face, "Then what do you think of me?" He paused, lowered his head slightly, "I want to know that I am in your eyes What is it like, my thoughts are different from yours, to be selfish, I never agree with the evaluation of me by the group of commanders, they are not worthy!"

What he said was almost crazy, so that Bai Yemei peak jumped violently for a moment.

Xie Jing broke free from Bai Ye's hand, swayed a few times, and then stood firm, "I never feel guilty to anyone. The only person in this world who can feel guilty is myself, and I am the only one who can feel guilty. I don't think I did anything wrong, so Bai Ye—" He looked at Bai Ye, "What do you think of me?" He asked again.

The wind was getting louder and louder, and in the distance were the indistinct and busy figures of the technical detectives. They just stood up and down, looking at each other. Xie Jing's face was pale and expressionless, outlined in the pale golden sun like dusk. The clear silhouette seeped into Bai Ye's eyes.

The corners of Bai Ye's mouth curved upwards slightly, and he hooked Xie Jing's little finger, "My Xie Jing." He stroked Xie Jing's knuckles, "Don't worry about this now, you can protect yourself. But I also hope you You can take me as your shelter and rely on me once in a while."

As if all the surrounding scenery were distorted and whirled into a whirlwind, these words seemed to penetrate the dark abyss under the sky of purgatory—coming against the light.

Xie Jing closed his eyelids, tightened Bai Ye's fingers a little, opened his eyes, and murmured, "I see."
