Grocery Store No.514

On Sunday, December 3020, 12, under Lu Hao's perseverance, Ling Hua'an agreed to accompany him to go fishing in the East Lake. Along with him were Yan Yu, Sun Ming, and Wang Lei, whom no one could see except Ling Hua'an.

Donghu Park is an AAAA tourist attraction developed by the Hwaseong government. Because it is early winter, most of the flowers, plants and trees in the park have entered the leaf-falling period. Walking on the long sidewalk, the golden fallen leaves are rustling by the wind, one after another It flutters and falls, like golden snow falling, which is not a beautiful scene.

Picking off the fallen leaves on his head, Ling Huaan smelled them with the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "The smell of winter, the scenery should be beautiful now."

Lu Hao snatched the fallen leaves, followed Ling Huaan's example and smelled them, frowned and said, "Where is there any smell, and no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's not as good as one-tenth of my brother's."

Ling Hua'an understood Lu Hao's thoughts, and scolded with a smile: "I'm used to being glib."

"No, I'm seeking truth from facts. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Yanyu and Senior Sun Ming."

Sun Ming echoed and said, "Lu Hao is indeed right. Boss, the people around are not interested in looking at the scenery, they are all sneaking at you."

Although Yan Yu didn't speak, he responded softly.

Even Wang Lei said in Ling Huaan's ear: "Boss, what they are telling is the truth."

What Sun Ming said was indeed true, but all the pedestrians passing by cast curious glances at them, not for any other reason, but because they were all very good-looking.

Ling Huaan said amusedly: "You guys have learned how to be smooth-tongued like brats."

Four people and one ghost walked around the East Lake talking, laughing and laughing. There is a special fishing area here for those who love fishing, but the fish caught must be bought at the market price before they can be brought home.When I came to the fishing area, I found a place with few people, and everyone began to set up camp. Even though they were not fishing enthusiasts, they prepared a lot of styles, such as fishing rods, hooks, floats, baits, and even brackets and fish. Baskets are all bought at special fishing tackle shops, and they buy the best things in the shops.

"Brother, I'm ready, you can just swing the rod." Lu Hao handed the fishing rod to Ling Hua'an.

Ling Huaan pushed the fishing rod and said with a smile: "I'll just sit here basking in the sun, listening to music, and I won't take part in fishing."

"Brother, it's hard to come here. If you don't participate, it doesn't mean you didn't come. Don't worry, I will be your eyes, and I will never let a fish slip through the net."

Ling Hua'an really couldn't resist Lu Hao, so he picked up the fishing rod helplessly, and reminded: "You all stay away, don't hurt anyone by mistake."

Everyone responded one after another, but no one left the place. Ling Hua'an was both heartbroken and helpless. He touched the fishing line and flicked the fishing rod lightly, and the hook was thrown out.

"How about it, is the location okay?"

"Okay, of course you can. Brother, you sit down, we are waiting for the fish to take the bait now."

With the help of Lu Hao, Ling Huaan sat on the stool, looked at the lake, and Wang Lei's voice sounded beside his ears, saying, "Boss, there is something in the middle of the lake."

Ling Hua'an nodded unobtrusively. Although he couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly, he could clearly see a ghostly shadow rising and falling, looking at the fisherman on the bank with cold eyes at a distance of more than ten meters directly in front of him. By.

Looking at the length of the hair, the ghost should be a woman, with a pale face, blood and tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and a black aura around her body, entangled with her long white dress in the water.As if aware of Ling Huaan's gaze, she looked over with cold eyes, and when she saw Wang Lei, an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes.

"Hey, the fish floated. I seemed to see the fish float just now." Lu Hao stared at the fish float intently, patted Ling Huaan's arm excitedly, and said, "It's really moving, it's really moving! Brother, hurry up!" Pull the rod and don't let the fish get away."

It did move, but in Ling Hua'an's eyes, it wasn't the float that moved, but the female ghost, who was swimming towards the shore.

"Boss, the resentment on that female ghost is so strong!" Wang Lei said with some fear.

Ling Hua'an didn't speak, he grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it, but he didn't pull it at all. He turned his head to look at Yan Yu, and said, "Yan Yu, come and help me."

Yan Yu responded, came to Ling Hua'an, took the fishing rod over, and pulled it hard, but he didn't pull it.

Seeing this, Lu Hao said excitedly: "It looks like a big fish, Brother Yanyu, let me help you."

With the help of Lu Hao, the two pulled the 'big fish' out of the water.

Lu Hao said in surprise, "It's not a fish, it seems...it seems to be a person."

"Sun Ming, take Lu Hao away and call the police."

Seeing the change in the expression of the corpse in the lake, Sun Ming pulled Lu Hao away from the shore, and the female ghost had already arrived in front of Ling Hua'an at this time.Wang Lei hid behind Ling Huaan, and whispered, "Boss, why does she keep looking at me?"

Ling Hua'an didn't answer, and looked up and down the female ghost. Although her face was pale and swollen, she could still see that the female ghost had looked good before she was alive. She was wearing a long white dress, which was sticking wetly to her body, and her lower abdomen was ripped out. A hole was made, and the bloody spot flowed out, dyeing the long white dress red.

"Who are you?" The female ghost's voice was shrill.

Ling Hua'an didn't say much, just took out a bell from his pocket, chanted the incantation silently, the bell rang softly, and the female ghost who was in front of him just now disappeared, obviously he had already put it into the bell.

The female ghost was arrested and struggled non-stop. The bell vibrated and made crisp sounds. Ling Huaan frowned slightly, bit his finger, and tapped on the bell. A drop of blood was printed on the bell. After the female ghost let out a scream, suddenly calm down.

Seeing this, Wang Lei couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said with lingering fear: "Boss, her resentment is actually stronger than that of Jiang Changping."

"If I'm not mistaken, she should have had her son taken out by caesarean section, and she died twice, that's why she has such a big resentment."

"One dead body, two lives?" Wang Lei frowned, and said angrily, "The murderer is too insane."

Yan Yu cut off the fishing line on the fishing rod and tied it to a big tree to prevent the corpse from sinking to the bottom of the lake again.Glancing at the crowd watching around, Yan Yu came to Ling Huaan's side, and asked softly, "Hua An, did you find anything?"

"Well, let's talk about it when we get back."

About 15 minutes later, the sirens blared, and several police cars parked on the shore of East Lake. Jiang Chengyan walked over with his ID card. When he saw Ling Huaan in the crowd, he couldn't help being stunned. He took three steps in parallel, Quickly approaching, he asked with concern: "Hua An, why are you here? Are you injured?"

Ling Huaan shook his head, and said concisely: "We found the corpse and reported it to the police."

Jiang Chengyan looked around, and then asked: "Then you are here for a winter outing?"

Yan Yu replied lightly: "Yes, the corpse I found while fishing."

While the three of them were talking, Yao Min followed closely, looked at Jiang Chengyan, then at Ling Huaan, and said with a smile, "I said why the captain walked so fast, so Brother Ling is also there."

Jiang Chengyan's face became hot, he gave Yao Min a look, and warned her not to talk nonsense.Ling Hua'an smiled slightly, but did not answer.Human life is at stake, now is really not the time to chat.

Jiang Chengyan seemed to have thought of this too, and said, "Yao Min, Hua An and the others found the corpse, and you make a record for them. Hua An, if something happens here, it will be blocked. You should go back after you finish the record."

Ling Hua'an nodded and said, "Go and do your work, we'll be back later."

Jiang Chengyan responded, turned and went to the lake.Yao Min looked at Ling Hua'an, then turned his gaze to Yan Yu, took out his notebook, and asked, "Handsome, what's your name? What's your date of birth, and what's your contact information?"

“宴宇，2995年9月5日出生，电话198****1232。”

"Born in 95, then you are 25 years old this year. Where do you live and what occupation do you do now?"

"Is this related to the case?" Yan Yu looked at Yao Min coldly.

Yao Min was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Mr. Yan, don't find me annoying, I am asking this purely as a matter of routine."

Yan Yu replied patiently: "I live in Jiamei Villa District, and now I run a company."

"You are already the boss of the company at the age of 25. Mr. Yan is really young and promising." Seeing that Yan Yu was not arguing, Yao Min couldn't help curling his lips and said, "What are you doing here, and how did you find the corpse?"

"We came for a winter swim. When we were fishing, the fishhook caught the clothes of the deceased, and the body was found when we pulled it."

Yao Min gradually got into a working state, and asked, "Who are the few of you who came here? When did you arrive here, and when did you find the corpse?"

"Four, me, Hua An, Lu Hao and Sun Ming. Arrived here around 09:30, and found the body around 10 o'clock."

After Yao Min finished recording, she looked up at Ling Huaan and said, "Brother Ling, the record has been completed, you can go now."

"Okay, let's pack up and go."

"Brother Ling, don't clean up the things inside the cordon. According to the regulations, we have to take them away for inspection. After the inspection is complete, we will return them in full."

"Okay, then you are busy, let's go first."

The four of them left the lake and drove back to Ling Huaan's house.Although Lu Hao didn't see the tragic condition of the corpse, he was so frightened that he was a little pale and said with lingering fear, "Brother, I will never go fishing again."

Ling Huaan rubbed his hair, and said reassuringly, "It's okay, don't be afraid, brother is here."

Lu Hao hugged Ling Hua'an, and said coquettishly, "Brother, do you think I'm cowardly?"

Ling Huaan said with a smile: "If I despise you, can you still become bold?"

"Then I'm going to practice courage! Compared with those horrible things, I'm still most afraid of my brother's dislike."

"You are my younger brother, connected by blood, how could I dislike you? It's noon, what do you want to eat, let Yanyu make it for you." To avoid Lu Hao's random thoughts, Ling Huaan decisively changed the subject.

"Yeah, I really want to eat something delicious, let me think about it." Lu Hao thought for a while and said, "I want to eat hot pot, mushroom soup pot. I haven't eaten it for a long time. I think about it very much."

Ling Huaan took out his mobile phone and handed it to Lu Hao, saying, "Okay, let's eat hot pot. You and Sun Ming go to the supermarket and buy whatever you want. Yan Yu and I prepare mushroom soup at home. Do you know the payment password of the mobile phone? "

"Yes, let's go then."

After sending Lu Hao and Sun Ming out, Ling Hua'an looked at Yan Yu and said, "Yan Yu, go prepare the mushroom soup, and I'll go to the study."

Yan Yu knew that he couldn't help in this regard, but he still told him: "Be careful, call me if you need something."

Ling Hua'an nodded, and said reassuringly, "Don't worry, she can't hurt me."

Yan Yu helped Ling Huaan to the door of the study, Ling Huaan took out a piece of paper talisman, and said: "You stick this paper talisman on the door, it is firm and cannot fall off."

Yan Yu responded and said, "Okay, don't worry."

Ling Hua'an didn't say any more, just pushed the door open and walked into the study. To prevent accidents, he also pasted a paper talisman on the inside of the door.Taking the bell out of his pocket, Ling Huaan recited the incantation silently, the bell vibrated and made a rapid sound, and then a gust of wind rose out of thin air, blowing the books on the desk to rattle.

"Who are you?" The stern voice could almost penetrate one's eardrums, the female ghost suddenly appeared, and her sharp fingers grabbed Ling Hua'an.

Ling Huaan calmly said, "I can help you find your child."

The female ghost's movements stopped abruptly, her fierce gaze became blank, and she murmured, "My child...my child..."

Seeing this, Wang Lei couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Although he was sure that Ling Hua'an would be fine, seeing the scene just now, he still couldn't help worrying, and subconsciously tried to block it, but Ling Hua'an grabbed his wrist.But before he could put his heart into his stomach, the female ghost, who was calm just now, became excited again.The blood and tears in the corners of her eyes were even redder, in stark contrast to her pale face, and she looked even more terrifying.

"Who are you, how do you know that I have a child? Did you kill us? Did you kill us!" The female ghost's voice became more and more mournful.

"I am a spirit crosser."

"Spirit crossing man? What is that?"

"He is a person who specializes in helping resentful ghosts resolve their grievances and help them reincarnate."

"How can I be sure that you are not lying to me?"

"If I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago."

Ling Hua'an's tone was very light, but she successfully frightened the female ghost. She looked at Ling Hua'an and asked, "Why did you help me?"

"There is one thing I think you made a mistake. You came to me, not I to you." Ling Hua settled down, and then said: "I can help you, but you have to pay the corresponding reward."

The female ghost seemed relieved when she heard the words, and said, "What do you want?"

"It depends on what you have."

"What do I have..." The female ghost's expression became blank again, and she said, "What do I have... who am I... who am I... why can't I remember anything?"

"Because you died in vain, and you were entangled in resentment, which affected your memory during your lifetime. As long as you resolve the resentment, you will naturally recover your memory."

In fact, there is another way for the grieving ghost to restore memory, and that is to be powerful enough.

"Then your reward..."

"I want one-third of your entire net worth." Ling Huaan went to the desk, opened the drawer and took out the inkpad and the contract, and said, "If you agree, put your fingerprints on it."

"I also have a condition, if you agree, you can do whatever you want."

Ling Huaan said lightly: "If your child has already formed and has a soul, I will help you find it. If not, I can't do anything."

"Okay." The female ghost printed her fingerprints on the contract without any hesitation.

Ling Huaan put away the contract, and asked directly: "If you think about it, what do you remember? Anything is fine."

The female ghost frowned as she thought about it, several broken pictures flashed in her mind, she tried hard to catch it, but she only remembered one picture, and said: "I only remember a pair of hands, the hand holding the scalpel , and a tattoo on his wrist, I don't remember anything else."

"And do you remember what that tattoo looked like?"

"It's a kind of flower, the whole body is red, the petals are many, curled, and the stamens are slender."

"Red flowers..." Ling Huaan repeated the female ghost's words softly, took out cinnabar from the drawer, mixed it with water, spread out the paper, picked up a brush, and sketched a picture in two or three strokes, saying: "Look at this Do you plant flowers?"

The female ghost went around to Ling Huaan to look around, and said excitedly, "It's this kind of flower!"

Wang Lei asked curiously: "Boss, what kind of flower is this?"

"This is Manjusawa, also known as Bianhua, the only plant that can grow by the Wangchuan River."

"This is the Bana flower, it's really beautiful!"

Ling Huaan sighed, and said: "It's very beautiful. The Bana flowers grow by the Wangchuan River, one after another, the beauty is shocking. It is said that the fragrance of the Bana flowers has a magical power that can remind people of their previous lives, so seeing them people, will stop unconsciously, or cry bitterly, or feel depressed, or smile. There are two fairies guarding the flowers on the other side, namely the flower demon Manzhu and the leaf demon Shahua. Together they guard the flowers on the other side for a few days Thousands of years, but we have never met each other, because flowers bloom without leaves, and leaves grow without flowers."

"I've heard this story before. Later, Manzhu and Shahua missed each other too much, so they violated the order of the gods and met secretly. After being discovered by the gods, they were thrown into reincarnation, and they could not see each other forever." Wang Lei also sighed and said: "If it is true, it will be too miserable."

"The flower language of Bianhua is endless love, the precursor of death, and the call of hell."

Wang Lei asked curiously: "Then the Bana flower is really unlucky, why did he have this tattoo?"

"Holding a scalpel means that this person's career should be related to medicine, and he should be a firm atheist, but he has tattoos of flowers that symbolize hell. This is contradictory..." Ling Huaan pondered for a while, and said: "Maybe He himself or the people around him are suffering from a terminal illness, which cannot be cured by modern medicine, so he will change his mind."

Wang Lei's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said with a smile, "Boss, you are so smart, you can think of so much with just one tattoo."

Seeing that the female ghost was thinking, Ling Huaan asked straightforwardly: "Did you think of something else?"

The female ghost frowned and said, "The smell of medicine is very strong."

"Then it seems that I guessed it right. If you think of anything in the future, just tell me directly, don't hide anything, you know?"

The female ghost nodded and said, "Okay."

Ling Huaan took out the bell from his pocket, and said: "I will put you in the bell temporarily, and when the truth is found out and the grievances are resolved, a messenger will come to pick you up."

Ling Huaan took the female ghost into the bell, looked at Wang Lei, and said, "Wang Lei, go to the police station, I want to know her identity."

Wang Lei nodded and said, "I promise to complete the task."

Ling Huaan took off the paper talisman on the door, opened the door and walked out. After Wang Lei said hello, he went straight through the door and went to the police station.

Yan Yu heard the movement, turned off the gas hood, walked out of the kitchen in two or three steps, came to Ling Huaan's side, and asked, "How is it?"

"I'm not sure about my identity yet, I'll talk about it after I confirm my identity."

"Okay, just call me when you're sure."

In the conference room of the criminal investigation team, Jiang Chengyan walked in, glanced at the crowd, and said, "All the people are here, let's have a meeting."

Jiang Chengyan paused for a while, then continued: "The deceased, female, aged between 25 and 30, with a height of 165 centimeters, was preliminarily estimated to have died 7 days ago, that is, on December 12rd. The cause of death is temporarily unknown, but certainly not. Drowning. Because we didn't find any information about the identity of the deceased at the scene, all we need to do now is to identify the deceased. Since the deceased has been soaked in water for too long, it has been changed beyond recognition. Even if the technology recovers, it will take time. We can't wait. Let’s start with the missing persons investigation. Liu Ran, Wang Bin, this task is entrusted to you, focusing on screening pregnant women among the missing persons, the deceased has been pregnant for at least eight months.”

Liu Ran said angrily: "Eight months? That child has already taken shape, the murderer is really insane!"

Although Su Ke's autopsy report hasn't been released yet, they have worked as a criminal police officer for so many years, and they can more or less guess the shape of the deceased, but the fact is too cruel, and they don't want to think about it.

Li Tong sighed and said, "Oh, I hope that child is still alive."

"So for the sake of that child's life, we need to solve the case as soon as possible and find the murderer." Jiang Chengyan glanced at everyone with a serious face, and then said, "Li Tong, Zhang Liang, is there any surveillance equipment found by the lake where the body was found?"

"It's relatively remote and there is no monitoring equipment, but there is only one road leading to the fishing area. As long as you call the camera on that road, you should be able to find the trace of the murderer."

"Don't forget, it's a natural lake, and the water is alive. The place where the corpse was found is not necessarily the place where the corpse was thrown away. So before drawing conclusions, you must go to the scenic spot management department to investigate, understand?"

"Yes, captain, we will investigate and implement it after the meeting."

Jiang Chengyan nodded and said, "Okay, that's all for today's meeting. If other people have nothing to do, they can join their two groups for investigation and the meeting will end."

Everyone got up and left the meeting room, while Jiang Chengyan got up and went to the forensic department.After knocking on the door of the dissecting room, Jiang Chengyan pushed the door straight and walked in.Su Ke looked back and said, "Didn't you just leave? Why are you here again so soon?"

"How about it, have you discovered anything new?"

"You have just walked for a few minutes and you have discovered something new. Do you think I am a god?"

Jiang Chengyan said seriously: "Yes, you are like a god in our team."

"Stop flattering!" Su Ke glared at him angrily, then changed her voice and said, "It's not like I didn't find anything."

Jiang Chengyan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What did you find?"

Su Ke opened the lower abdomen of the deceased along the wound, pointed to the inside, and said: "The abdominal incision is flat, layers were opened, and the child was taken out. The technique is skilled and professional. The murder weapon should be a professional scalpel. This murderer is very Probably a professional surgeon."

"Murderer? So the cause of death has been determined?"

"Actually, the cause of death is clear at a glance. It's just a test. If such a large wound is not sutured, it will not take long for people to die due to excessive blood loss."

"Then is there a drug reaction in her body?"

"You want to know if she was injected with anesthesia before she was alive, right?" Seeing Jiang Chengyan nodding, Su Ke went on to say, "Although the time has passed too long to detect a drug reaction, it depends on the smoothness of her abdominal wound, and There were no other restraint wounds on the body, so it can be presumed that the murderer had anesthetized her before the operation, and she died before the anesthesia lost its effect, so she died without pain."

"Su Ke, you said the murderer had to be so insane to do such a thing?"

Su Ke smiled wryly and said: "I know it's not appropriate to say that, but compared to the previous case of dismemberment, the deceased was much luckier than Jiang Changping, at least she died unknowingly and didn't suffer anything. pain."

"The separation of mother and child, is there anything more painful than this?" Jiang Chengyan was a little agitated.

Su Ke was startled, then took off his gloves and said, "It's already afternoon, and I haven't eaten lunch yet, why don't you accompany me to eat something."

Jiang Chengyan took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said: "Sorry, I was a little out of order just now, what do you want to eat, please."

"That's what you said, so I have to think about it." Su Ke took off the protective clothing on her body, washed her hands and said, "I heard that there is a western restaurant in the street next door, and the steak in it is very good, how about Shall we try it?"

"Go there for a meal, and I'll lose half a month's wages, Su Ke, you're so ruthless!"

"You big fat sheep delivered to your door, if you don't kill anyone."
