Mystery Pursuit

Tang Xiaoran shouted: "Remaining team."

Yu Ye touched Wu Yuzhou and motioned him to follow along. Although it was daytime, the corpses were placed in a dark place at the end of the corridor.

The deceased was wearing a black turtleneck sweater, sitting cross-legged, smiling, like a statue, Tang Xiaoran took a photo of the deceased's mouth, carefully took out the centipede on the tip of the tongue, and put it in the evidence bag.

Yu Ye squatted down, "What's the situation?"

Tang Xiaoran shook the centipede in the evidence bag, "There is a centipede in the mouth of the deceased."

Yu Ye frowned, "What species? Is it poisonous?"

"It's not clear yet. I'll know when I go back for testing. It looks like a specimen. It should be some kind of hint, rather than poisoning the victim with a centipede."

"What hint does this thing have? The cult organization has this symbol?" Yu Ye thought for a while, then looked at Wu Yuzhou, "Do you know?"

Wu Yuzhou shook his head, his eyes fixed on the clothes of the deceased. The black sweater was faintly stained with blood. He put on gloves and grabbed the corner of the sweater to take a closer look. When he touched the abdomen of the deceased, he found something was wrong. The abdomen of the deceased was very soft, like plush Feeling like a toy, he casually lifted the dead man's sweater, and what was exposed was not the skin, but a white cloth bag stained red with blood.

This discovery quickly attracted everyone's attention. After taking the photo, Wu Yuzhou wanted to take out the white cloth bag, but Yu Ye stopped him.

Without the support of the cotton bag, the black sweater shriveled quickly, and the deceased's ribs were empty, and the skin disappeared, revealing a blood-red abdominal cavity.

Tang Xiaoran handed the flashlight to a colleague and asked the other party to help him illuminate it. Under the light, he could clearly see the dead man's liver amidst the blood red. Look carefully at the liver. There are irregular bite marks of different sizes on it. On the skin remaining on the chest of the deceased, there are also irregular bite marks like the internal organs. "Before death, the skin and internal organs were bitten."

"Cannibalism? It's been a long time since there was such a murderer." Wu Fei said.

"It wasn't bitten by humans."

"dog?"

"It's not a dog. The bite marks on it vary in size and shape. They don't look like mammals."

Wu Fei scratched his hair, "What else?"

Yu Ye thought of the centipede in the mouth of the deceased.

"Whether the centipede gnawed or not is currently uncertain. There are many bite marks on it, and there should be many kinds of animals. I will check it carefully when I go back."

Taking advantage of the light, Wu Yuzhou could clearly see a red indentation below the collarbone, waist on both sides, and lower abdomen of the deceased. The four lines just formed a rectangle and pressed on the deceased.

The dead man kept his hands behind his back. Wu Yuzhou pulled the dead man's arm out, but found that he couldn't pull it. Looking back, it turned out that the dead man's hands were tied with ropes.

He immediately went down to check the legs of the deceased. The ends of the legs sitting cross-legged had red strangle marks on the ankles. "Someone bound the hands and feet of the victim before he was alive, and put a rectangular container on his chest."

Yu Ye: "There is something blocking his chest, so it can't be a large animal or a person." He turned to Tang Xiaoran, "Is it possible that it was bitten by insects?"

Tang Xiaoran nodded: "It looks like it, but it's not a bug."

Wu Fei reviewed what several people said, and concluded: "So before he died, his hands and feet were bound, so that he could not move in the current sitting position, and then a container full of worms was used to buckle his chest. Insects gnawed at his skin and internal organs..." Wu Fei felt goosebumps in an instant, "Why did this happen? This is too fucking perverted."

"It should be painful to be bitten to death by bugs? But why is he smiling?" Cheng Xiaolu asked.

Wu Fei: "Who knows, it's scary just looking at it."

Tang Xiaoran: "Could it be some kind of memorial ceremony?"

"I haven't heard of any religion that uses this way of offering sacrifices. Have any of you ever heard of it?" Yu Ye asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Pull it back first." After Yu Ye finished speaking, everyone was a little dazed. The corpse was seriously damaged, and the abdomen was basically empty. It would take time to put it in a bag and carry it out without destroying the original body.

Everyone worked together and carefully carried the body away. The round building has become a public place over the years, and the traces left on the scene were mixed and messy, and no useful clues were found.

It was almost noon after finishing the site survey, and Wu Yuzhou hadn't had breakfast yet. Before getting in the car to go back, he went to a small restaurant near the Yuanlou and bought a piece of cake. Trash cans on the side of the road, "Didn't you eat in the morning?"

"Well, I didn't have time to eat."

Yu Ye didn't continue to ask, and drove back, half way, Wu Yuzhou found that it was not the way back to the Municipal Bureau, and asked, "Where are we going?"

"my home."

Wu Yuzhou: "..."

"You don't usually cook?"

"will not."

"Always rely on eating out or frozen food?"

"Ah."

"A 30-year-old person, can't cook?"

"I don't want to do it, trouble."

Yu Ye entered the door, threw the key into the shoe cabinet, "You can sit whatever you want, I'll be fine soon." He walked into the kitchen, and soon there was the roaring sound of the range hood.

Wu Yuzhou had been here once, and he was quite familiar with Yu Ye's house. He was very hungry and had no energy to move around. He sat quietly on the sofa and watched the busy figures in the kitchen.

Yu Ye cooked at the same speed as last time, and quickly brought out two dishes and one soup. He took out the bowl and chopsticks and handed them to Wu Yuzhou, "I have something to do in the afternoon, just eat something simple."

Wu Yuzhou smiled slightly, "This is not easy."

Suddenly Yu Ye got up, took the fried pork with spicy cabbage and walked to the kitchen, "I forgot it just now, wait a moment, I will make a new fry."

Wu Yuzhou stopped him, "Don't bother, this game is pretty good."

"Spicy, you will feel sick to your stomach after eating it."

"It's okay, my stomach has been trained a few years ago, and I'm not as delicate as before."

"You're not young, it's time to take good care of your body. I'll make another dish soon."

"It doesn't make much sense whether I protect my body or not. Don't waste time, hurry up and eat." Wu Yuzhou insisted not to let Yu Ye stir again.

Yu Ye sat down, remembering what Wu Yuzhou said when he was drunk last time, and asked casually, "Head injury? Shrapnel?"

Wu Yuzhou raised his head, his eyes full of doubts.

Yu Ye smiled and said, "Last time you said that when you were drunk."

Wu Yuzhou only remembers the things after drinking, and the specific words and deeds are a bit vague. Now that I have said it, there is no need to hide anything, "The location is quite special, and I can't get it out... Life is in danger at any time."

"Your current physical condition is not suitable for being a criminal police officer. Apply to the leader and go to a relatively easy job."

"When I was studying, except for Liang Yuxuan who wanted to be a singer, the three of us all wanted to be a good criminal policeman. I was an undercover agent for nine years, and I was in a coma for another year. I have only been in contact with criminal police for more than three years. It is just the beginning. You tell me to stop now. Isn’t it too cruel? At that time they suggested me to do anti-narcotics, but I refused, and now they suggest that I change to an easier job, and I also refuse.”

"Dreams should be based on what your body allows. Now your body doesn't allow you to overuse your brain at all. Why do you have to go retrograde? Wait until the day you fall to give up?"

"Except for dreams, only being a criminal police officer can be beneficial to get in touch with my family's case and find out about my sister. Zhang Chen in the bar last time met my sister. She is probably in Jingchuan City. I have to find her, otherwise Going underground, I have no face to face my parents."

Yu Ye put down the bowls and chopsticks, went to Wu Yuzhou, knelt down, and held his hand, "Leave these matters to me. I will apply to Bureau Zhang to set up a special case team. I will definitely let the truth of what happened back then come to light. Porridge, don't be brave anymore. Just trust me once, okay?"

Wu Yuzhou pulled out his hand and looked away, "Yu Ye, I don't want to involve you, and I hope you don't make things difficult for me again and again. Everyone has their own things to do in life, and no one can replace someone else."

Yu Ye sighed, and didn't put any pressure on Wu Yuzhou. He had been separated for 12 years, and the reunion was not bad in the past few days. He got up and returned to his seat, "So you don't want to drag me down because you will die at any time. Are you refusing to be with me?"

Wu Yuzhou didn't speak.

"I knew you rejected me, not because you didn't like me."

Wu Yuzhou smiled, "So confident?"

Yu Ye also laughed, "Because I am also your Bai Yueguang, with a cinnabar mole on my heart, it is not so easy to forget. What happened to your sister back then?"

"I don't know the specifics. After the fire was extinguished, the police searched my house and only found four bodies. They belonged to my parents and my cousin. No one knew where my sister went."

"Then how do you confirm that she is alive?"

"My old leader once checked for me. Someone saw her in the early years, and the news reached the leader's ears. When she chased after her, she disappeared again. Zhang Chen also saw her in the bar last time. When I checked, she was nowhere to be found. "

"Send that photo to me, and I'll take it to the monitoring center for comparison. Apart from the photo, does she have any other obvious features? Even if we find the person in the photo, it may just be similar in appearance, and it may not be 100% your sister. So it’s better to have some obvious features.”

Wu Yuzhou shook his head, "She didn't have any obvious features like birthmarks. She was six years old when the accident happened, and she had a big change in her [-]th grade. She may have changed a lot from when she was a child. I can confirm that the photo is her, because the girl in the photo, She looks very much like my mother, almost exactly."

Yu Ye picked up vegetables for Wu Yuzhou, "Eat first." Taking back his chopsticks, he thought for a while, and then said, "Go to the hospital if you have time, don't rush to sentence yourself to death."

Wu Yuzhou did not respond. This lunch was the most peaceful meal after their reunion. After being entangled by Yu Ye for a few days, Wu Yuzhou unknowingly let go. The sense of distance and entanglement towards him disappeared. The old friends I met, chatted about the past angrily.

Returning to the Municipal Bureau after dinner, Wu Fei came over with the documents, "Boss, I found the deceased. Xu Yang, male, 20 years old, local, a repeat thief, his parents divorced and each has a new family. He lives with his grandmother and brother." .

He has been fighting frequently since junior high school, and his family can't discipline him. After graduating from junior high school, he wandered around and became a social idler, making a living by stealing things, and a frequent visitor to the police station.

No one at home can control him, and it is normal not to go home for three or four days. According to Xu Yang’s grandma, he left home at noon on September 28 and did not return home for nearly a week after that.

Xiao Zhang checked Xu Yang's friends, and they all said that he hadn't seen Xu Yang for a week, so he called and turned off the phone, so it seemed that Xu Yang had been missing for more than a week before his death, and no one knew where he was.

Director Tang re-examined the body of the corpse, and found that the deceased had multiple knife wounds and scratches on his lower limbs. He had been severely abused during his lifetime. That's all for now. We have to wait for Director Tang's autopsy report. Boss, what should we do next? Do? "

"Since he disappeared on September 28, he must have seen the murderer on that day. Find out who Xu Yang met on September 28, what he did, and check the trajectory of his actions in detail."

"Understood, I'll go right away." Just as Wu Fei walked a few steps, Yu Ye called him back again, whispered a few words into his ear, and then let him go.

The whole team is investigating this case, what can't you say in person?Wu Yuzhou was curious, and asked casually, "What did you say to Xiao Wu?"

Yu Ye turned his head, his eyebrows frowned, "I won't tell you."
