"I rely on...you can see it all."

After the corpse is burned, the muscle tissue and bones will shrink, especially when the exterior is burnt black, it is even more difficult to distinguish what it is.

In the years Jiang Xun has been working on cases, he has seen both the scene of dismembered corpses and the scene of a fire, but he has never encountered a situation where the two occurred at the same time.

Fortunately, he has developed a strong psychological quality in going out and going to the scene for many years. Otherwise, if Lu Kuang and Qin Shu saw this, they might even save their dinner next week.

"The location is in a factory warehouse in a small town near the border of Ruili. This factory used to be a black workshop that recycles old medicines and repackages them for sale. Jiang Xun noticed it when he was still in Yunnan. He has always suspected that illegal drug production is being carried out here. He also entrusted an informant to keep an eye on this place, but on the day of the incident, his informant did not contact him at all, and the local environment in Ruili was very complicated. Although the police were dispatched quickly, they arrived at the scene much later. By the time they arrived, the fire had destroyed the entire factory."

Song Yuzhi narrowed his eyes, "Has he been tricked by an informant?"

"No, Jiang Xun is very cautious. Most of his informants are reliable. The reason for the accident is...his informant died."

Everyone took a deep breath.

"His informant was found drowned in a stinky ditch not far from the scene. The water was not deep, and it just reached the person's ankles, so he would not drown. So he suspected that someone killed his informant .”

Jiang Xun felt goose bumps on his body, "Isn't this just..."

More than a month ago, almost exactly the same thing happened in Baiyun Pharmaceutical Factory. The arsonist disappeared after fleeing the scene. It was suffocated to death.

Is there any connection between these two cases?

Wen Sinan motioned for everyone to sit down, bowed his head and took a sip of tea, "At that time, the investigation ability was limited, not all places in that small town were monitored, it was very difficult to investigate, and there has been no progress, but at that time Jiang Xun did some research. A very correct thing is to extract the DNA of the body parts for archiving. Years later, when we caught another drug dealer, we extracted similar DNA from him, proving that the deceased at that time was the largest supplier of the Golden Triangle. One of them, Phichai."

Jiang Xun felt a sharp pain in his temple, "Why are you back on the drug dealer again? What does this drug dealer have to do with 'SEVENTEEN'?"

"At the death scene of Phichai, the mark '17' appeared for the first time, but it is different from the form we see now, and it is left in the form of Thai."

As he said that, Wen Sinan took out another photo, which showed the black scorched marks and smudges on the ground, and the figure below could be vaguely seen.

"It was written with Phichai's blood. He is a Thai himself. It is not unusual to write Thai. What is strange is this." He pointed to a zigzag line below the handwriting.

Song Yuzhi said "Hmm..." and said, "This line is connected with the last gesture. It looks like someone dragged it away halfway through the writing, as if there was no chance to finish it."

Jiang Xun asked: "Is this the first time the mark '17' appears?"

"As far as I know, yes. Phichai was once the largest opium grower in the Golden Triangle, supplied a large amount of raw materials, and brought huge benefits to his drug trafficking organization. It is precisely because of this that he also became a A thorn in the side of some people, he appeared in Ruili at that time, probably to avoid vendetta."

Wu Guangping flipped through the photos, and said disdainfully: "This group of mobs don't talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality. Internal conflicts are resolved internally. Whoever doesn't like it can be replaced by killing the other party. Don't think they are in the same organization. Assassination and fighting The bloody incidents that happen every three days or so, these unbelievable things to us are commonplace to them, so this is enough to show the importance of a society ruled by law."

"However, this method of mutilating and burning corpses is not like that of a mercenary group like 'SEVENTEEN'." Song Yuzhi pinched his chin, looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling, and thought out a name: "Bailishu... ..."

"It just so happens that you know about him, so you don't need me to say more."

"Is he really a member of 'SEVENTEEN' and involved in the activities of drug trafficking organizations?"

"I'm afraid it is, but we know too little about this person. He has almost no flaws. We don't know anything about his age, characteristics, identity, or even whether he really exists. The only thing that can be determined is, He was a man, and he had something to do with Phichai's death."

"But what does this have to do with our case, I don't have the time in the United States to help Interpol play cat and mouse games!"

Feeling the strength of the corner of his clothes, Jiang Xun resisted the urge to slap the table, facing Wen Sinan's calm eyes that seemed to see through everything, he really couldn't express his temper at all.

Wen Sinan looked at Wu Guangping deeply, this was the only time he stared at him for more than half a minute so far, even Jiang Xun, who was not stared at by that deep gaze, felt chills all over his body, one can imagine this How does Wu Guangping feel at this moment?

Next, Wen Sinan told the most astonishing truth in the calmest tone.

"The hunting game starts after Phichai's death."

After going around and around, but still returning to the original point, Song Yuzhi slid down to the ground and smoothed his hair for him, for fear that if his fire burned up, he would singe himself into a hairless bald man.

The atmosphere in the room was so heavy that it was almost suffocating. Wen Sinan remained calm and indifferent, raised his hand to turn on the air conditioner, and the 23-degree cold wind blew on Jiang Xun, instantly soothing the heat and making others sober Not a lot.

He looked at the time behind the live photos, 2008, that is, 13 years ago.

"I don't know if the two things are necessarily related, but the first time to kill the game was indeed half a year after Pichai's death. It can be seen that during that half year, the organizer made a lot of preparations for the game In the early stage, he closed the forum on the official website of 'SEVENTEEN', cleared the information of all registered users, and set up several redirects while encrypting the domain name. The signal was transferred from Serbia, North Macedonia, and Slovenia to Southeast Asia. Areas, mainly base stations in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Malaysia for signal relay. The places chosen are either chaotic law and order, frequent bandits, or tourist attractions with dense crowds. It is extremely difficult to track. With our existing resources, it is impossible to catch Hold their tails."

Jiang Xun was very itchy in his heart, wishing to take out these bastards who knew how to play hide-and-seek and beat them up on the spot, gritted his teeth and asked, "Did they spend half a year running the website into a website that combines violence and pornography?" The dirty website is just to gather a bunch of rabble with special hobbies, and rush to perform for them?"

"No, I'm afraid there are more." Song Yuzhi said in a low voice, peeled off a piece of mint candy, stuffed it into his mouth, and used food to block the words he hadn't figured out, "They still need to prepare the hunting ground."

Wen Sinan analyzed: "There are huge interests hidden in it. It can be seen from the cases in the past few years that their drug trafficking, human trafficking, and forced prostitution are a complete criminal chain. We have no idea where the game was found before. We don’t know anything about the prey, where the hunting grounds are, whether there have been such tragic vicious cases in the past, maybe the two murders in Yanxi in the past ten years are not all, but the clues we can grasp are limited to this.”

Jiang Xun tugged at his own hair, saw a few strands of hair between his fingers, panicked, and quickly pushed back the fallen hair.

"It's so fucking bald... I regret it. The more you know, the faster you die. This is always the truth. More often, people may be happier if they don't know." He didn't give Wen Sinan a chance to speak, Gu Zi went on first: "Teacher, I know why you told me this. These clues were obtained by Jiang Xun, Jiang Zhu, and even Jiang Juan and his son, but we can't do it with our ability alone."

He let out a long breath, lowered his head, clasped his hands on his knees, looked elegant, but actually had an attitude of rejecting others thousands of miles away, "Yanxi has died too many people over the years, and so has Changning." In this way, I am not evading the responsibilities that I should face, but the enemy we are facing is far stronger than it looks, we are weak, and we can only die alone. I was reckless, but now I can’t, I’m starting to have scruples, I’m afraid of death, I don’t want to make any unnecessary sacrifices, that doesn’t make me feel better at all.”

He raised his eyes to look at Song Yuzhi, who was also watching him quietly, the warmth slowly flowed between the two of them, even Wu Guangping was infected by it, uncharacteristically did not hurt him.

Wen Sinan still had a gentle smile on his face, his eyebrows were crooked, showing no emotion, "You misunderstood, whether you came to see me today or I came to see you, it was to let you know the truth. Do it, it has nothing to do with me. I am a scholar, I am not good at those things, I just want to study some real cases. It is a surprise to help the police. I can persuade you or force you. Forget it, it's all Zhou Xuan's business and has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Xun muttered, "I will definitely avoid this grandson from now on."

Song Yuzhi persuaded him: "Brother, it's useless to be angry now. As long as Jiang Juan is still alive, he may still be a target for them to eliminate. There is no guarantee that he won't be involved in the next game. You can't stay out of it."

He was right, and this was what Jiang Xun was most worried about. No matter what happened in the past, even for Jiang Zhu's sake, Jiang Xun would not let him be in danger and ignore it. At the same time, he also knew that Before this matter is completely over, it is impossible for him to retreat completely.

When he was feeling confused, Song Yuzhi said something that made everyone suddenly enlightened: "All of us must recognize our role in the game, and the consequences of leaving the meeting rashly will be judged as unnecessary abandoned children." .”

No one is willing to take the initiative to sacrifice when they know that they are pawns. It is already a manifestation of their quality and morality that they can guarantee that they will not kill each other.

As early as the moment they stood on the chessboard, they were doomed. Only by destroying the chessboard could they have a good death.

Jiang Xun crushed the mint candy, pondered for a long time, and suddenly kicked Wu Guangping, "I don't care about the vicious cases that happened overseas, I'm not interested in a mercenary group with complicated relationships, and I don't want to know how many drug lords What kind of consequences will be caused by internal fighting for resources? My heart is not that big. There are only so many things that can be understood by dead brain cells. There are not enough cases to solve domestic cases. I don’t have the energy to help international friends trace the truth for the time being. What's more, even if I really have the ambition to eat a fat man, I don't have the stature, I can't reach that far, and my strength is always limited, so no one can use me as a gunman and let me die for nothing."

Although he had already seen that Zhou Xuan was trying to do something wrong to him, he never expected that he would hold back such a big move. This kid is really unreasonable...

Wu Guangping glared at him, and when he met his gaze, he actually looked away guiltily, which made him more sure that the old guy was definitely hiding something from him.

The more the other party avoided him, the more he wanted to get close to them, and he cheekily chased after him, forcing Wu Guangping to look directly at him.

"I want to know what happened to Jiang Zhu in that game."

"How the hell do I know..."

"Stop it."

Jiang Xun shook his hands behind him, Song Yuzhi cooperated with him very much, and handed something in his palm, Wu Guangping's face changed obviously after seeing that thing.
