slip through the net [criminal investigation]

, ran out to find a physical evidence bag, and vomited until the sky was dark and the throat was sore.

He was at a loss for a moment, and Cao Ming shook his head when Ying Cheng asked about the identity of the deceased, and finally regained his reason and voice.

"Tang Jianwen. The name of the deceased is Tang Jianwen, male, 27 years old." He looked at Yingcheng, tried his best not to tremble, and paused before saying, "He is my informant."

Xie Lin quickly reacted, took him away from the scene, and patted Qin Yile as he passed by, telling him to vomit in another place, Qin Yile had no choice but to hunched over and ran into another alley.

Xu Fan really couldn't look directly at this too cruel scene, so he was very obedient, after all...

That's not someone else, it's someone I know or even be acquainted with.

He took the man to the car. Although Jiang Huan didn't know what happened, he still thoughtfully handed over a bottle of water from the car—he listened to Ying Cheng's words and dared not leave.

"What's wrong? Not feeling well?"

Xie Lin quickly gave him a wink, motioning him not to ask any more questions, and he retreated into the car on his own initiative, rolling up the window tactfully.

Although he knew there were some things he shouldn't know, but the more he warned himself, the more clearly the conversation between the two people outside the car came in.

"You won't admit it wrong, are you really your informant? Has it become... like that?" Let alone who it is, he can hardly recognize a human figure at a glance.

Xu Fan drank half a bottle of water in one breath, and the scene of the wall full of muddy meat being smashed and mixed with bones was really lingering in front of his eyes, so he had no choice but to drink the remaining half bottle in one breath. He said, "He has a red string in his hand, and once cooperated with the police undercover, the secret signal was that the absence of the red string meant that something had happened. Since then, he has been wearing a red string on his hand."

"It's not necessarily the red rope... Let's wait for Uncle Cao to appraise it, just in case."

"No chance, it's him. This kid has been missing for two weeks, who would it be."

"What kind of case is he an informant? How long have you known each other?"

"This kid is a reporter, the kind of good reporter who can die just to dig up news. Before, he just graduated from university, and in order to dig up news about a black brick factory oppressing the disabled, a young man in his twenties pretended to be mentally challenged. Handicapped, pretending to be crazy, he went undercover in this black brick factory for more than four months, and was almost beaten to death several times. In order to act, he crawled in feces and urine, no matter how much he was bullied, he would not reveal his secrets, just like that There is also the ability to take thousands of photos as evidence.

Later, I found an opportunity and escaped desperately, but when I called the police, I was too involved in the drama, and I couldn't tell the whole story.

At that time, I had just started working, and I admired him a lot. I contacted him occasionally, and after a long time, he became my informant. Later, I also participated in many cases and was a good undercover agent.To be honest, there are not many people who can convince me, Xu Fan, this kid is one of them, I didn't expect..."

"You mean, he disappeared recently, maybe he went undercover again?"

He nodded first, then shook his head: "But he hasn't contacted me. In the past, if he decided where to go undercover, he would usually come to me in advance to discuss the whole plan and how to contact me in the future."

Only this time, he didn't know anything.

While they were talking, Ying Cheng strolled over from a distance, first to make sure that Jiang was still sitting in the car obediently, knocked on the window and smiled at him as a greeting, then put his hands in his pockets and shook hands with them. Shaking his head: "I checked, the reporter is an old man, he got sick and was hospitalized, it will be difficult to ask for a while, Uncle Cao said..."

He glanced at Xu Fan, hesitated to speak, Xu Fan asked anxiously: "Hurry up, I can bear it."

"It is said that he was beaten to death, probably with something like a hammer. There must be more than one perpetrator, but the condition of the corpse is so bad that Uncle Cao can't even determine the time of death. We will have to wait for a detailed autopsy to find out."

Xu Fan stopped breathing for a while, then let out a long breath, and made a summary of the life of this young man who died tragically, short but supreme:

"This kid... If he lives a few more years, he will definitely win the Pulitzer Prize."

Ying Cheng leaned against the car and squeezed his shoulders hard as a consolation, but Gu Yuzhe suddenly rushed over with a pale face: "Boss! It's not good, I found a surveillance camera! It's still... the one with sound! "

"Isn't it a good thing to find monitoring?"

The expression on his face was indescribable, he just said: "Come and see, you will know after you see it."

Yingcheng and his party didn't know what to do, so they had no choice but to follow him.

The monitoring is installed in the living room of a family, and the angle is facing the window, which is quite clear.

Gu Yuzhe pulled the monitoring until around nine o'clock in the evening. Since the family was not at home at that time, they did not turn on the lights, and could only see a tiny bit of street lamps outside the window.

"Pay attention to looking out of the window." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw shadows outside the window, and a few people floated over like ghosts. Their uniform movements looked like Lin Zhengying's zombie movie, floating through the blurry screen. There was a chill, and the most terrible thing was that they were carrying a large cloth roll in their hands, and they knew what it was without guessing.

The second time Gu Yuzhe watched it, he still felt his hairs stand on end, and shuddered again: "Fortunately, this family was not at home at the time, otherwise there would be something wrong with being scared."

Xie Lin thought to himself that there was already a witness lying down in the hospital, and said, "Why do I feel like there is a sound?"

He nodded, and played it again with the loudest voice: "Listen carefully."

Ying Cheng understood, these people are still humming!Frowning: "What tune is this, it sounds familiar."

Xie Lin finally shivered, felt the hairs on his back stand up, and cursed: "Fuck. It's "Amazing Grace."

Xu Fan patted him on the back with serious eyes: "I know what Tang Jianwen is doing, it's a cult. "Amazing Grace" is a Christian hymn, but Christianity doesn't beat people to death."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head again: "Why didn't he tell me..."

Ying Cheng had no choice but to pinch his shoulder hard again, and Qin Yile, whose face was yellow from vomiting, walked in, staggeringly said: "Boss."

Xie Lin had quick eyesight and quick hands, and closed the notebook with a "snap". He was worried that the kid would throw up again when he saw the surveillance.

"I just went out... um... I found a little suspicious blood. Going forward, I should be able to find the scene of the first crime or... the direction where the murderer escaped."

Xie Lin hurriedly found a bottle of water and handed it to him, and patted his back: "Slow, slow, slow, it'll be great if we see more in the future."

He nodded, but when he thought of seeing a murder scene of this level in the future, his stomach immediately flooded with sour water.

But Ying Cheng suddenly said: "By the way, is Uncle Cao planning to transport the corpse?"

Qin Yile nodded, recalling the scene that was estimated to give him nightmares for a month, he still couldn't help feeling sick: "It's...it's too broken, I need to use a shovel to shovel it down, so let the forensic take a few more photos If he tries again, he won’t be able to restore it when he gets it back.”

Gu Yuzhe shuddered abruptly again, and muttered: "Damn it, this case makes my back chill."

"Xie Lin, call a few people and follow the bloodstains with Qin Yile. Xu Fan, take your camera and follow along. Be careful. I'll go to the corpse and have a look."

"What else are you looking at?"

Ying Cheng put his hands in his pockets and turned his head with a smile: "I can't see anything with the eyes of a criminal policeman, so I went to change to a pair of eyes of a psychologist."

Xie Lin guessed that he must be looking for Jiang Huan, and subconsciously glanced at Qin Yile: "It's better...farewell?"

No matter how Qin Yile was, he was still a real policeman, and even he was so disgusted by the scene that he vomited like this, Jiang still...

Just don't hurt people.

Ying Cheng didn't care, he raised his hand and made up his mind to go to Jiang Huan. Xie Lin had nothing to do with him, so he had to tell Gu Yuzhe to take someone to visit and find other surveillance cameras, and then followed Qin Yile to find him. blood.

It was rare for Jiang Huan to be obedient this time, and he could be seen from a distance, still obediently sitting in the car. A strange idea suddenly popped up in Ying Cheng's mind——

This case definitely has nothing to do with "X".It has nothing to do with "X", so he is obedient and doesn't interfere. If it has something to do with "X", he must try his best to get involved.

Then he realized belatedly——after such a long time, he still couldn't let go of this "X" in his mind.

Since I greeted him last time, this "talk next time" has been stuck in his heart like a thorn, frame him once, transfer the money back, is this the end?Or is there a deeper conspiracy behind it?What will it be next time?

He was shrouded in dark clouds, and he had already walked to the side of the car before he knew it, and Jiang rolled down the window: "What's the matter, the case is very difficult?"

"It's a bit tricky, come down and have a look?"

"Is this... suitable?" Wasn't he wishing that he would not get involved before, why did he actively ask him to get involved today?

"Don't talk about whether it's suitable or not. Even if it's not suitable, you still get involved. I'm a little worried that you won't be able to bear this scene."

He finally opened the door and got out of the car: "I'm a little curious when you say that, let's go."

Ying Cheng made fun of him on purpose: "Don't come to me for a hug if you're scared to pee at night."

Jiang became more and more curious. After following him a few steps away, he reminded him twice to "be mentally prepared". Finally, his eyes suddenly became clear, and he stared at the eyes...

The indescribable scene, I finally know why I said that. At first glance, it is indeed terrifying, but upon closer inspection
