I come from the abyss

Chen Jie: "I'll find a relationship to adjust the file later." She pinched the badge in the evidence bag and sighed: "I didn't expect that the thread of this case is still not completely broken."

Ji Chengling carefully inspected other small physical evidence, except for twelve worn-out dolls, a rhinestone hairpin that a little girl would like, a 2B pencil as long as his index finger, a half-used eraser, and other odds and ends .

"Do you think it's possible that all these things belonged to the deceased?"

Chen Jie glanced, "Do you think the deceased can still drink in that well room?"

Following her gaze, Ji Chengling looked at the two evidence bags containing beer cans in the corner, choked, and said, "I mean things like rhinestone hairpins, pencils, and erasers. Dress up body parts, or dolls for body parts, and do a sketch in the well room, right?"

"Maybe? Anyway, the murderer is crazy enough."

Ji Chengling propped his chin: "I think they might all belong to the deceased. Brother Zhong said that the deceased was only seventeen. Girls are still at the age of school. They like shiny rhinestone hairpins and dolls—"

"When I was 17, I liked Hei Shen Can."

Ji Chengling choked again and again, and spoke earnestly: "Most girls at this age wear a plain face and a two-piece school uniform. Not everyone is as rebellious as you. But as far as I know, girls like gorgeous and beautiful jewelry."

"Straight man speaking." Chen Jie snorted, "It is true that not all girls like black and dark, but most 17-year-old girls don't like shiny rhinestone hairpins. This hairpin has all the rhinestones, and the shape is still there. It’s also ugly, girls at the age of high school students are just at the beginning of their sexual consciousness and love for beauty, and their aesthetic standards are at various levels of mavericks, breaking away from the aesthetics of young children and young and middle-aged women—”

Ji Chengling: "Young and middle-aged...aesthetics?"

Chen Jie was silent for a moment: "Fashion is a circle."

Ji Chengling: "...?" He really doesn't understand women.

Ji Chengling pressed his temples, "Then how did you get the rhinestone hairpin? Could it be that some female homeless people used the well room as a shelter for a while, and left before the doll was moved in, and these rhinestones, pencils and erasers were left by the other party?" down?"

Chen Jie insisted: "It's not impossible. But there is another possibility. The card, pencil and eraser all belonged to the deceased, or the link between the murderer and the deceased, such as gifts and souvenirs from the same place. Or a gift between two people. The rhinestones of the hairpin are all gone, and it is a style that 17-year-old girls will not like. The pencil and eraser have also been used. It has been a certain age, and maybe the murderer deliberately placed it next to the deceased. "

Ji Chengling: "Previously, Team Li speculated that the murderer and the deceased were probably acquaintances. It is true that such small objects as issuing cards were deliberately left beside the deceased. What is the motive? Show off or commemorate? Most perverted killers have a habit of marking, Satisfy their desire for control or revenge."

Chen Jie put forward a conjecture: "Do you think there will be other victims?"

"No way." Ji Chengling said thoughtfully, "The deceased was tortured and killed, either she had a deep hatred with the murderer, and the murderer enjoyed the process of torturing and killing her, or he himself enjoyed torturing and killing women."

"Then he is a serial murderer, a perverted enjoyment murderer." Chen Jie: "The physical evidence must be kept well, and I will report it to Team Li later."

Ji Chengling responded, and noticed that the car was turning on the expressway back to Dongcheng District, and the toll booth was in front of him. He glanced left and right, and saw a Maserati on the opposite side, which looked familiar. Thinking carefully, it was not the one he met in the urban-rural fringe of Xiushan Mountain just now. Millionaire car!

It turns out that people also live in Dongcheng District.

Meeting him twice within an hour does not mean that there is a relationship. Ji Chengling took a few more glances and took note of the license plate number. The black bottom plate, Guangdong Z222, is obviously a Hong Kong and Macau commercial vehicle, and it is also a beautiful number worth a Maserati.

Wealthy compatriots from Hong Kong and Macau.Ji Chengling, who is also a rich man, sighed with empathy.

Xiushan Welfare Institute is a four-story small farmer's building. The exterior is painted in red and yellow, and a three-meter-high iron fence is erected on the outside. There are some children's entertainment facilities in the courtyard inside, and a row of sweet-scented osmanthus trees are planted at the entrance. The overall appearance is neat Clean, but a bit out of town.

The gate was unlocked, and there was a security booth at the entrance. Inside, an old man with gray hair and a blue Chinese tunic was sleeping on the table. When Li Zan and Jiang Heng approached, a yellow-white dog jumped out and barked at them.

The old man was startled awake, and he opened the door and window and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The dog was shrunk, Li Zan and Li Zan were not afraid of dogs, so they took two steps forward, and Jiang Heng said, "We are a company organizing volunteer activities. Come here in advance to check the situation and make a shopping list. Is the director here?"

Yuejiang City encourages citizens to organize volunteer activities. Companies, enterprises, schools, etc. have always arranged urban volunteer tasks, especially places like welfare homes, where people often come. The old man is not surprised, and replied without much doubt: "The director is not here. Last week was not Did a group of people come here just now?"

The group of people last week should refer to Wang Xiaoxiao's mother and his mother's colleagues.

"It just happened that the company exchanged goods, and the next batch of unused and semi-new devices were going to be donated."

The old man came out and led the people inside: "Then talk to Mrs. Huang, she is in charge of these things. But let me tell you, it is better to contact a few more families to do a volunteer job once a week and donate things all the time. Adopt a child."

Passing by a classroom, Li Zan saw a group of children weaving garlands. The room was quite spacious, with several long tables side by side, a blackboard in front, and a row of lockers in the back. The decoration was similar to that of a kindergarten, and the oldest child in it probably No more than twelve or thirteen years old.

"Are the children here?"

The old man did not turn his head back: "Those who have not yet entered junior high school do some manual work here, and the older children go to junior high school and high school and live there. The welfare policy of our Xiushan Welfare Institute is very good, and the children who are not adopted have books. After studying, I will be admitted to university in the future, and there will be help from well-wishers in society and the government."

Li Zan was a little surprised. It sounded like the welfare policy of Xiushan Orphanage was too good.

From what the old man said, it seems that many companies choose Xiushan Welfare Home as the first choice when organizing volunteer activities, but there are so many welfare homes in Yuejiang City, why does this one located in the urban-rural fringe stand out?

Li Zan: "The policy is still good. The Xiushan District government has a conscience, and there are many kind-hearted people in society."

The old man murmured in a low voice: "I've done a lot of bad things... I'm only here to make up for it now."

The vernacular was spoken, and a foreigner might not be able to understand it. It happened that Li Zan, a local, and Jiang Heng, a Hong Kong native, could barely understand the old man's vernacular.

The two looked at each other and didn't take the initiative to ask. They only saw the door of the sports room on the opposite side open when they passed a staircase. The donations piled up outside the door are not signed, and they should be caring people in society who do good deeds without leaving their names.

Li Zan stopped suddenly, took out his mobile phone and took a few photos of the donations outside, then took two quick steps to catch up with the old man and asked, "Is there anyone else here to donate things today?"

The old man: "How do you know? Indeed, there are two young people who brought snacks and toys that children love to play with. Teacher Huang was very polite to them and thought they might adopt the children in the home."

"The dolls piled up on the outermost side of the sports room just now were donated by them?"

"Yes. It's a brand new doll. Children like it. They almost got into a fight after arguing. Teacher Huang won't let the donations be distributed when he gets angry."

doll?Jiang Heng raised his eyelids and turned to look in the direction of the sports room.

Li Zan turned his head and said in Jiang Heng's ear, "A cardboard box was opened, and the outline of the contents inside was a bit like that Hello Kitty doll. It's a Hello Kitty doll again, don't you think it's a coincidence?"

The sound of the airflow of the speech was rolled into the ears, and the shoulders were a little itchy. Jiang Heng raised the corners of his lips: "It's a coincidence."

Li Zan asked: "Did those two young people leave any personal information?"

The old man: "I don't know. If you ask Mr. Huang, generally speaking, they will stay, except for a few good people who don't want to be named and do good deeds. But they are both from Hong Kong. I hear their accent sounds like those from there. Here they are." He said Stopped at the door of a room, knocked on the door and shouted: "Mr. Huang, there is a visitor!"

After a while, a middle-aged woman in a light yellow cardigan opened the door to see Li Zan and Jiang Heng. After talking to the old man to understand the situation, they invited them into the room to talk.

"Sit down." Teacher Huang poured tea: "The orphanage is simple, and the tea is not particularly expensive but tastes good. What channels are you two planning to donate?"

Li Zan drank tea and gave Jiang Heng the opportunity to perform.

Jiang Heng's veteran response shows that he has done a lot of this kind of charity. He pointed out several key issues in the orphanage, and he decided to donate only after he had a basic understanding. Mr. Huang also has experience in dealing with similar incidents many times. It can be seen that Jiang Heng often does this kind of thing, and he also has the heart to do good deeds, so he discussed it kindly.

After finalizing some matters, Jiang Heng said: "I see that there is a lack of some children's amusement facilities and sports equipment in the park, so I decided to donate a batch of brand new ones, so that the children who go to school will have a chance to exercise when they come back from school. My company plans to update the computer. Although they don’t need them, middle and high school students also need computers for teaching, so just put a few in the orphanage, do you think it’s okay?”

Teacher Huang felt that Jiang Heng was thoughtful, and happily agreed.

Seeing the time came, Jiang Heng continued, "It's just that the orphanage occupies a small area, and it's a bit far from the town. There is a lot of open space around it. Why don't you apply to the local town government for land expansion. Xiushan Welfare Institute is the largest welfare institution in Yuejiang City. A good orphanage is located on the edge of the city. Parents in the two cities who have heard some news and want to abandon their children are more and more considering Xiushan Welfare Institute. When I came, there were dozens of children in the classroom, one more than ordinary orphanages times, and there may be more and more in the future. When the children grow up and the older children come back from vacation, won’t they be crowded and have no place to live?”

Teacher Huang: "These things you mentioned are also issues that we have been worrying about for the past two years, but the surrounding land does not belong to the town government. Qingshan Town has no way to decide, and the officials above are afraid to touch it."

"Why?" Jiang Heng was curious.

Teacher Huang shook his head and glanced at Li Zan.

Li Zan drank tea carefully, and smiled at her, expressing that he was innocent, clean, well-behaved, gentle and harmless: "It's nothing, you tell me."

Teacher Huang: "..." She hoped that the youth would take the initiative to avoid it.Seeing that both of them were curious, and that Jiang Heng wanted to improve the orphanage, Teacher Huang sighed and said: "The unfinished project in front of the orphanage violated the law before, and it involved a lot. No one dared to take it over. The land ownership was directly transferred to the city. It is managed by the government, but recently I heard that it is going to be released for bidding for development, so that’s probably how it is.”

Jiang Heng became even more curious, "What about repairing the orphanage at the gate of the unfinished project? Doesn't it delay their business? Why was this piece of land left out?"

Mr. Huang: "It's not that it's been missed. This land was originally in the unfinished project, and the orphanage is also in the unfinished project. There is an abandoned Qingshan Welfare Institute in front of it. It used to be the Welfare Institute in Qingshan Town. The orphans were transferred to various places, and a welfare home was re-opened in the town, which is now the Xiushan Welfare Home. Because something happened to the Qingshan Welfare Home, in order to make up for it, the policies and resources were tilted towards Xiushan Welfare Home.”

She stopped at this point, and Jiang Heng wanted to ask again, but she was vague.

Li Zan asked as if chatting: "Did the two young people who came to donate today leave any personal information?"

Teacher Huang was immediately vigilant and suspicious: "How do you know that two young people came here today? Why are you asking these questions?"

Li Zan shrugged: "The two of them are from a volunteer group with us. They came from Hong Kong and want to buy a house here. They contacted everywhere to do volunteer work to accumulate household registration points. My immediate group was afraid that they might have some other purpose to damage the reputation of the volunteers. Let me ask them about their performance."

Being able to tell that the two young people are from Hong Kong has convinced Mr. Huang halfway. Later, I heard him say that the two of them were volunteers who saved household registration points, so it was impossible to adopt a child.

Teacher Huang was also afraid that young people would be eager for quick success in order to accumulate household registration points, so he took the initiative to say: "They are indeed Hong Kong people. I think they are very enthusiastic and good-looking, but one is too good-looking. Long hair, looks feminine , a little demonic."

This evaluation is not very good, Teacher Huang hurriedly continued: "I think they prefer girls."

Li Zan: "How to say?"

Teacher Huang: "They gave a bunch of Hello Kitty dolls, which only girls like. Big boys like Ultraman, Transformers and other toys, and they also gave little girls like rhinestone hairpins Oh, they also went around the unfinished project in front, I just heard from them that the city government intends to release this piece of land, and they are discussing the matter of bidding. "

Li Zan and Jiang Heng looked at each other and asked, "Is there any registration for their visit?"

Teacher Huang: "It really is. I did it, do you need it?"

Li Zan: "Needed."

Teacher Huang called out the interview registration for them to see. Li Zan took photos, and then asked some other questions as usual to get useful information from them. Finally, he got up and said goodbye when he saw that it was almost time.

"This is my phone number." Jiang Heng left the number in the visit registration area: "If they come again and behave strangely, you can call me for help."

Teacher Huang: "Uh, what's the problem?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said: "Just in case. They are interested in the land bidding, including the land of the orphanage, and they may do other bad things. For the safety of the children, Mr. Huang, please pay more attention. I am Happy to help."

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the people's livelihood first column group of Dongcheng TV Station, Yuejiang City.

Zhao Yanli finished the evening news broadcast, and while sorting out the manuscript, he told his assistant not to forget the things that need to be prepared for tomorrow's itinerary.

"Tomorrow, I have to go to the location. By the way... Tomorrow, give me the background information of the land in Qingshan Town, which is the well-known unfinished project. Be sure to check the details and give it to me."

The assistant was puzzled: "Sister, why check this?"

"Inside information, the city intends to open up the project and prepares to invite public bids, not limited to Hong Kong, Guangdong and Macao. It is obvious that it wants to promote the economic interoperability between Hong Kong, Guangdong and Macao, enhance the relationship between them, and expand the influence of this area. If the project The implementation is going well, and the future of Qingshan Town should not be underestimated. And there will definitely be a lot of media grabbing this news in the future, we have to go deeper than them, and dig out hot spots that others don’t have in order to grab the headlines.”

The assistant admired: "Sister, how did you know about the bidding?"

Zhao Yanli smiled confidently: "It was done on the wine table. One more thing, can you help me drive at night? Xiang Changrong and I have an appointment to have dinner tonight and meet other people by the way. I can't trust the substitute driver, so I ask you for help."

"That's no problem!" the assistant readily agreed.

"Okay, call later. I'll send you a red envelope later."

After Zhao Yanli packed up his things, he left work with his handbag and drove to Xiang Changrong's home.

Xiang Changrong lives in Huading City, Beitian District. Huading City is a very famous villa village in Yuejiang City. It was planned nine years ago and completed in three years. It was robbed within an hour, and after several years of development, it has become one of the well-known comfortable residential areas in Beitian District.

And Xiang Changrong is a real estate entrepreneur in this city. Zhao Yanli did his homework when he approached him, knowing that he used to save his first money by reselling plastic flowers in Hong Kong. Later, he wanted to enter real estate, but the market at that time was basically It was divided up by the four families.

Xiang Changrong had no choice but to move to the mainland and choose Yuejiang City. Coincidentally, he had participated in the development project of Qingshan Town for 10 years, and he heard that he was also interested in this tender.

Zhao Yanli obtained the news of Qingshan Town's project bidding from his wine bureau. After a month of continuous check-in and greetings through wind and rain, he finally asked Xiang Changrong to take her to a wine bureau that was said to unite well-known entrepreneurs from Hong Kong, Guangdong and Macau.

Of course, this wine party is not tonight, tonight is just another wine party that Xiang Changrong made an appointment with.

Zhao Yanli arrived in Huading City and found Xiang Changrong's house according to the address.

It was a luxury villa with five floors and two basements, where Xiang Changrong's family lived, his parents, wife, and a pair of children. According to the survey photos, Xiang Changrong also raised a dog.

Zhao Yanli rang the doorbell, but there was no answer for a long time. When he looked up, he saw the lights in the villa.

So she continued to wait, and rang the doorbell every few minutes, but there was no movement. Zhao Yanli took out her mobile phone and hesitated for a while before dialing Xiang Changrong's mobile number. As expected, no one answered, and she began to feel that something was wrong. .

The light was on in the villa, but it was unusually quiet, not even a bark was too abnormal, and the phone couldn't be dialed, Zhao Yanli felt that something was wrong, so he tried to push the door, but unexpectedly pushed open the carved iron door. Door.

Unlocked? !

No, this kind of iron gate is equipped with an electronic induction system, which will automatically close as long as there is electricity. Could it be that the power system has been cut off?

The ominous premonition in Zhao Yanli's heart became more and more serious. She entered the villa cautiously and quickly, and pushed open the door. The light leaked out from inside, and her eyes were dry dark red. Jumping on the ground, walking into the room, looking around tremblingly, the floor, walls and furniture were all spattered with dried blood, and there was a corpse that had been hacked to death on the ground.

A woman, wearing pajamas, with her head facing the door and struggling with her hands, was staring at the door as if she was asking for help when she was about to die. She died in a horrific, unrepentant death, with maggots wriggling around her eye sockets, nose and mouth.

The stench wafted into his nostrils, and Zhao Yanli realized that he covered his mouth and nose and gagged, staring at another obese body on the sofa that had been chopped up to a bloody mess. It looked like the figure of Xiang Changrong she was looking for on this trip.

Xiang Changrong was stabbed dozens of times, and his whole body was stained red with blood. The strips of cloth had dried up and stiffened. of brains.

His abdomen was dissected open, and his internal organs fell to the ground. Only a little skin remained on one arm, which was also covered with dense maggots.

There were only two corpses in the living room, but the blood stains spread all the way upstairs, which shows that Xiang Changrong's family members did not escape the torture.

Zhao Yanli couldn't help but rushed out of the villa, vomited profusely in the courtyard, calmed down for ten minutes before calling the police with trembling hands: "The police station? I'll call the police. A homicide occurred in a villa in Huading City. The whole family... It was brutally wiped out!"
