Swallowing the Seas

The next morning.

The streets were extremely congested in the morning rush hour, and the buses stopped and went, packed as if they were going to explode.Aunts carrying vegetable baskets, white-collar workers with sleepy and tired expressions, and students carrying school bags and playing mobile phones swayed back and forth with the vehicle. The smog mask covered the handsome bridge of the nose and the outline of the jaw, and the eyelids were drooped down, silently.

"Hey, have you heard that Silihe Middle School will not have evening self-study next week, and will go home after school at three o'clock every afternoon..."

"Wow, it's so cool!"

"It is said that there are ghosts crawling out of the river in their area to kill people, and they are so rotten that there is only a skeleton left. I don't know if it is true?"

Wu Yu's expression moved slightly, and he glanced away from the corner of his eyes.

Several middle school students crowded around the car door and discussed enthusiastically, shouting with a mixture of envy, excitement, and fear. A little boy with a schoolbag on his shoulders beamed and said, "I know, I know, it's all posted on Weibo, and I was killed." The daughter-in-law is in the same middle school as my cousin..."

The news came out so soon?

The female white-collar worker in front held her handbag in front of her body, concentrated on reading online comics, and did not hesitate to log in to her email when the pop-up window of "login to watch first!" popped up; circle, chattering and exchanging various information on WeChat, Weibo, and QQ, registering accounts in full swing to solicit votes for their beloved idols; "Blockchain new economy! Share advertising revenue, set sail with a million annual salary!" posted on the side of the billboard , a middle-aged man was holding up his mobile phone, dubiously scanned the QR code, and entered his ID card mobile number step by step as required.

The tentacles of the Internet are ubiquitous and endless, just like countless prying eyes wrapped in the tide, gradually spreading into the deep sea, submerging every corner of human society to the top.

Everyone is swimming in this sea, and no one knows that there is a bottomless data trench hidden under their feet.

Wu Yu took a breath and closed his eyes.

Jingle!The bus horn sounded.

"The Municipal Public Security Bureau has arrived, please take your belongings and get off the bus in an orderly manner..."

It was the time when the two shifts were handing over in the morning and evening, and people were coming and going in the criminal investigation building of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. When the door of the big office was opened, the smell of overnight cigarette butts, tea, instant noodle soup wafted all over the corridor.

Standing outside the corridor, Wu Yu carefully finished his vegetarian steamed stuffed bun, rolled up the plastic bag and threw it away. Just as he was about to return to his seat, he suddenly heard a faint noise coming from the closed reception room door beside him: "... There are five people and six people in official clothes, what a fucking..."

"?"

Wu Yu had only seen the victim's family make trouble at the forensic office, but had never seen anyone who dared to swear at the door of the Criminal Investigation Detachment. Just as he was looking for his reputation, the door suddenly opened with a "bang", and shouting and crying burst out.

"Don't tell me that's useless! Ah, I'm telling you! It's useless with me!" A man in his 50s and [-]s was full of alcohol, forcing Meng Zhao to back out of the reception room, " My girl didn't come back from last shift, you have to arrest her boss! Lose money and be responsible!!"

"Pingping, my miserable Pingping!..." A woman with disheveled hair knelt on the ground and screamed, and the two office girls beside her were so pale that they couldn't even help them up.

Meng Zhao was in a bit of a panic, but he said calmly, "Mr. Nian Daxing, calm down a bit, the police will not let go of any clues, but we must also follow the procedures..."

——It turned out to be the parents of the victim, Nian Xiaoping, Nian Daxing and Fan Ling.

The information only said that Nian Daxing was a migrant worker who helped people watch the warehouse, but he didn't expect to be such a local hooligan.

"What clue? There's a fart clue! I've told you everything I know, the owner of the assembly plant is rich!" Drunkly, Nian Daxing pointed at Meng Zhao's nose and spit all over the place: "Rich people are not good things. Otherwise, why did you ask my girl to work overtime until 10:30 in the evening?! It’s not overtime! If you kill her and throw her outside, I will know everything!!”

Meng Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "But the autopsy results showed that the deceased's hymen was intact, and there were no traces of obscenity on his body..."

"Don't talk to me about that! Isn't autopsy what you police can write?! Officials protect the rich!"

The doors of several offices in the corridor were opened, and the employees on duty poked their heads out one after another. Even Wang Jiuling, who came from the technical team next door to get the materials, came looking for the sound, looked here in amazement, and there were endless discussions.

Fan Ling was probably ashamed, and finally stopped crying and staggered up from the ground, holding Nian Daxing's leg and dragging her back: "What are you talking about! What a mess, Pingping is not that kind of girl!..."

"Shut up!" Nian Daxing kicked her backwards, almost hitting Wu Yu.

Meng Zhao was furious: "What are you doing? Stop!"

Nian Daxing was probably used to beating his wife, and he didn't know how to restrain himself in the police station. Meng Zhao yelled at him and made him even more violent. He rushed forward and shoved the two office girls, and picked up Fan Ling and was about to beat him up: "You cry! Know how to cry! Can't help at all, useless old lady!"

Meng Zhao screamed, "Stop him!"

--Snapped!

Nian Daxing felt that his elbows were being gripped with force like iron tongs, and his big fist couldn't fall any further. He stared into his red eyes and saw a handsome and thin young man half kneeling on the weeping Fan Ling. Beside him, frowning and staring at himself.

"Fuck your mother, the police dare to beat someone?!"

Nian Daxing got drunk and pushed with all his strength—his weight was at least 200 catties, and he was very strong after drinking. Wu Yu staggered several steps back on the spot, and almost hit the wall amidst exclamations!

Meng Zhao didn't see the sharpness of Wu Yu grabbing Nian Daxing's arm just now, but saw him being pushed away lightly, and immediately became anxious, knowing that this gentle newcomer was no good, so he yelled for the internal staff to call the criminal police Just stride up.But Nian Daxing didn't care at all, and even pulled the hair of the back office girl who was going to help Fan Ling. The little girl's clothes were almost torn off her shoulders, and he pushed her head and face to the ground!

Director Wang ran to this side: "What the hell is this?!"

Meng Zhao rushed up to protect the little girl. Seeing that the surroundings were either women or internal staff, Wu Yu's sense of existence was almost zero, so he made a quick decision: "Go and call Liao Gang! Hurry up!"

Bang Nian Daxing kicked Fan Ling to the ground, spitting and yelling: "Get out! I beat my wife, it's none of your business! Be careful I'll give you—"

Before he finished speaking, someone strangled his neck from behind with an elbow, blushed and silenced his neck roughly.

Meng Zhao lost his voice and said, "Xiao Wu?"

Wu Yu's face was cold, and he swung his hook violently, smashing Nian Daxing to the ground!

There was a loud bang, and the gold and stone were shattered cleanly. Everyone was stunned, and even Fan Ling opened her mouth and forgot to cry.

"You...you..." Nian Daxing was also stunned, and then jumped into a rage. He jumped up and grabbed Wu Yu's collar to desperately: "I'll kill you, you bastard!"

The daily dress code of the Public Security Bureau is only for internal work, and the outside work is basically casually dressed. Wu Yu wears those few Taobao T-shirts with loose necklines and old washed Taobao T-shirts for 360 days out of [-] days a year. , exposing more than half of the light ink tattoos, and the flapping birds flashed by.

Nian Daxing caught a glimpse, and in the blink of an eye, Wu Yu grabbed the hand that was holding onto his skirt, and twisted it back mercilessly, and the joints made a crisp—click!

"Ah——" Nian Daxing screamed before Wu Yu flew up and kicked him in the chest, kicking him with lightning speed!

With a loud bang, Nian Daxing's heavy body rolled and fell to the ground, screaming like a pig being killed!

There was a dead silence in front of all eyes, no one could believe their eyes, and then Meng Zhao's head buzzed and it swelled:

"Wu, Wu Yu! There is surveillance here!"

Fan Ling collapsed on the ground trembling: "Killed! The police killed!"

"In the case of the Sili River, according to your instructions, the Shuishang Police Station has launched a search for the murder weapon and the murderer's escape route. However, the rainfall that day almost flooded Nancheng, and the Sili River flows directly into the Bohai Sea. It is very difficult to salvage the murder weapon nearby. In addition, there is no trace of the murderer climbing up and fleeing on both sides of the downstream. Even if there are footprints, they should have been wiped away by the heavy rain..."

Liao Gang followed Bu Chonghua out of the elevator, and the report was suddenly interrupted by the noise coming from ahead.The two raised their heads at the same time, and Bu Chonghua suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

Even Fan Ling, who was scrambling forward, was stunned, and Nian Daxing's howling stopped abruptly.Meng Zhaozheng pushed Wu Yu to let him go quickly, when he heard this, he jumped up in shock: "Team, captain?"

Wu Yu's pupils suddenly constricted.

The scene was immediately at a stalemate, Bu Chonghua strode forward, and everyone subconsciously gave way to him: "What's going on?"

"He did it first!" A few policemen on duty reacted quickly and rushed forward: "The family of the victim is clamoring to arrest the owner of the assembly plant for compensation, and this man wants to beat his wife..." "Smashed the reception room ! And hit Xiao Wu!" "That's right, he did it first!"

Nian Daxing has been staring at Wu Yu since just now, his face full of disbelief, and if you observe carefully, you will find that there is still a trace of fear in it.But at this time, there was a lot of discussion around him, and he also reacted accordingly, and started rolling on the ground with his stomach in his arms: "The police beat people! Is there any law of heaven and king! Just bully us ordinary people, bully us without money and power ..."

Crying, shouting, rolling and spitting into a mess, Director Wang of the technical team who stopped not far away finally couldn't help it: "What the hell is this family? It's on the head of the criminal investigation detachment, isn't it?" Hurry up and find security to pull him down?!"

The trace inspector next to him hurriedly pulled him back: "Director, calm down! Don't you often take the lead in personally attacking infantry detachments?"

Director Wang said angrily: "If I attack, I attack, so you can't let outsiders attack you!"

Regardless of the facts and the inside story, when the police started fighting with the victim's family at the gate of the detachment, they were at a loss in the first place, and how to deal with it all depends on whether the leader is willing to protect—Bu Chonghua frowned and looked at Wu Yu, and the eyes of the two suddenly separated Air collided.

Wu Yu's face was slightly lowered to the side, and his posture seemed to be as cramped and reserved as usual, but if he looked closely, he could find his five fingers trembling slightly by his side.The corners of his eyes slanted upwards, as if he was nervously looking at Bu Chonghua's reaction. From this angle, his browbones were particularly deep, his chin was extremely tight, and the bridge of his nose and side cheeks showed a jade-like hard texture.

Bu Chonghua was not familiar with his demeanor, but at this moment he could feel his emotions strangely—this man was erecting his spikes.

He couldn't even hide his usually well-hidden hostility.

"How are you? How are you?" Fan Ling groped for Nian Daxing at a loss, then slumped on the ground, adopting her most familiar and instinctive way of doing things - slapping her legs and crying loudly: "My poor Pingping! What should I do now! My life is miserable!..."

Everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak out, Meng Zhao stood in front of Wu Yu and wanted to intercede, but he did not dare to speak out after opening his mouth several times.Bu Chonghua looked away calmly, and asked Nian Daxing who was lying on the ground: "Can you still stand up?"

Nian Daxing immediately turned over and held his stomach, screaming for pain.

"Okay." Bu Chonghua said a word coldly.

Then he turned his head and told Liao Gang under the eyes of everyone: "——picking quarrels and provoking trouble at the gate of the Public Security Bureau, take him down, lock him in the isolation room and calm down."

Wu Yu was startled.

Meng Zhao was also taken aback by surprise, and then his brows brightened. A few policemen on duty immediately rushed forward without the leader's second order.Only Fan Ling tried to stop the police while panicking and weakly saying "What? What?!", but this thin and shriveled woman couldn't stop the police at all. Several people hurriedly lifted Nian Daxing and pushed forward: "Come with us." !""Walk!"

Unexpectedly, Nian Daxing didn't dare to speak, muttered something in his mouth, and looked back at Wu Yu frequently, his eyes were full of suspicion and fear that couldn't be concealed.

"Don't dawdle! Go!"

Nian Daxing shrank as if he had seen a ghost, but was sternly reprimanded by several policemen, and he stumbled out.

"Team, look," Meng Zhao rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Xiao Wu didn't do it on purpose, he just wanted to stop Nian Daxing's domestic violence against women, look at this matter..."

Bu Chonghua didn't answer, and there was no joy or anger on his face, and he narrowed his eyes slightly to look at Wu Yu.The hearts of the people around were all in suspense, and it took him a while to ask, "You weren't beaten, were you?"

Meng Zhao hurriedly hit Wu Yu, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you apologize soon?"

Wu Yu lowered his eyebrows: "I'm sorry Captain, next time I..."

"You weren't beaten, were you?"

After a moment of silence, Wu Yu blurted out two words: "No."

Bu Chonghua nodded and said, "Don't do anything in the corridor from now on, there are cameras."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere came alive: "Back then, Daxing had been drinking, domestic violence, petty theft, and all kinds of poisons. He didn't even ask him how the girl died, and he asked for money! Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"Don't tell me, Xiao Wu has practiced before, he kicked people like chests when he came up, smack!"

"Good job Wu Yu, why don't you usually see you so majestic! You have to be tougher next time, you know!"

Liao Gang said with a casual smile: "What do you know, there is only one girl, Sister Meng, in the whole criminal investigation detachment, and Xiao Wu is here to protect our policewoman..." Before he finished speaking, he turned around and bumped into Bu Chonghua's indifferent Watching, the hair on the spot shivered, and the sound was instantly silenced.

"Everyone go back to the office, and the case meeting will be held in five minutes." Bu Chonghua said calmly, "We'll talk about this matter later."

"15 homicide case, the victim, Nian Xiaoping, was [-] years old. The cause of death was acute cardiac tamponade caused by a traumatic heart rupture. The murder weapon was a double-edged sharp weapon with a width of about [-] centimeters. The body has not yet been found. No trace of the murderer."

"The first round of screening of the on-site trace inspection has ended. We searched the entire soil and found no footprints, blood, fingerprints or hair of the murderer for the time being."

"The investigation team who went out to visit Xiaogang Middle School replied that Nian Xiaoping didn't have any conflicts or bad records with classmates at school, and school violence can be ruled out for the time being. The boss and workshop director of the Hongxing Assembly Factory where she worked were also interviewed. The transcripts are here, and the cross-validation did not find any contradictions."

……

"Don't look at the technical investigation, the technical investigation has done its best, how hard have you worked hard in making the technical investigation?" Wang Jiuling spread his hands under the eyes of the office full of people, and said helplessly: "The water police station and the frogmen joined forces in the Silihe River. Mao didn't even find out, let alone the murderer, what can we do? Create a bloody fingerprint for you from the soil?"

The eyes of criminal investigators all over the office fell on his face, with the expression that the detective's father loved us again.

"I can't help it. Let the forensic doctor Xiao Gui and the others take a photosensitive film on the corpse to see if they can find occult blood." Director Wang said angrily, "Look at Zhong Wuyan's face and Xia Yingchun's face, next time we go to the hospital." Jian then send Bawang anti-hair loss shampoo to the technical team, be careful, I will really lose my face."

The criminal investigators immediately covered half of their mouths as if they didn't know anything, and Bu Chonghua asked, "Where's the surveillance video along the way?"

Everyone turned their eyes away, and the honest inspection team leader suddenly became the target of public criticism, and immediately began to tremble and shake his head.

"It was raining heavily that day, and the visibility was extremely poor. The crime occurred in an area where the management of the suburbs was indiscriminate. The scope of monitoring and screening is too large." The good man Liao Gang helped him translate with a sigh, and said, "If you only focus on the monitoring, There may not be clues if we find out the year of the monkey and the month of the monkey—it is completely unknown where the murderer landed after jumping into the river."

No on-site evidence was found, and no social grievances were found.In other words, from the incident to the third day now, there has been almost no progress in the investigation.

The heavy rain washed away all the clues, and the murderer took advantage of the right time, location, and harmony of people, making an already confusing case even more bizarre.

"Does Nian Daxing have any enemies?" Cai Lin sat back on the chair, hugged the back of the chair and raised his hands to ask: "The grandson looks like a guy who dared to provoke Prince Ma after drinking too much, is there any breakthrough in him? "

Prince Ma Wu Yu, who had just been provoked, sat with his head bowed behind the desk. Because the T-shirt was too big, he looked even more silent and thin, completely different from before.

Bu Chonghua looked at him for half a second.

Meng Zhao said helplessly: "Nian Daxing insists that he abides by the law and never causes troubles. He demands that the Hongxing Assembly Plant, which employs Nian Xiaoping, take the main responsibility, and refuses to explain anything else. What should we do? He It’s the victim’s family, we can only question him, but not interrogate him!”

This is for sure, a hooligan like Nian Daxing has dealt too much with the local police station, and he has long since become a hob meat.Tell him to take the initiative to admit his usual dirty things?That's simply not possible.

"I've already asked people from the Criminal University to visit Xiaogang Village. I should hear back before I get off work." Bu Chonghua stood up and said in a deep voice, "A 15-year-old girl was killed, but the witnesses didn't get hurt. If there is any motive for grievances, her parents will most likely be involved, and we need to investigate further in this regard."

Cai Lin got up quickly: "Yes!"

"The only definite feature left by the murderer is the skull mask. Intensify investigations in hospitals, cemeteries, crematoriums, funeral parlors and other places, and focus on sorting out the rural areas around Jinhai City where cremation is not practiced. If there are any clues of buying or selling or stealing corpses, immediately Thoroughly investigate to the end. In addition, keep two mobile teams in the team to deal with emergencies, and everyone else will go out to investigate the mannequin manufacturers and distributors in this city. If there is any non-cooperation, notify the local industry and commerce. Arrange for someone to come to the door, check them and fire the fire."

Bu Chonghua is worthy of being an old man who has experienced first-line criminal investigation. This trick can be described as poisonous and spicy. Everyone stood up one after another: "Yes!" "Understood!"

The field staff hastily put on the eight police suits and was ready to go. Liao Gang lowered his voice amidst the noise and asked anxiously, "What if we can't find any clues about the mask, Captain?"

Bu Chonghua didn't say anything.

"We've never encountered such a clean case, with lack of surveillance, lack of cooperation from the victim's family, and time constraints... If the history of this strange skull mask can't be found, wouldn't [-] be a 'death case'?"

——Death case, no clues, no evidence, no motive, no suspects.Every criminal investigation captain will more or less encounter a death case during his tenure, just like a serious illness, which will not heal for a long time, and eventually become a lifelong heart disease.

"...There are only unprofessional criminal investigations in this world, and there is no absolutely clean scene." Bu Zhonghua paused, and said, "But what I am most worried about is not this, but another thing."

Liao Gang was startled, and saw Bu Chonghua's brows pressed tightly against his eyes, and he said in a low voice after a while:

"The rainy season is coming, do you think he will commit crimes again?"

Liao Gang's expression changed in horror.

Good luck did not favor the Criminal Investigation Detachment.

The technical team checked again and again to confirm that there was no trace of the murderer in the layer of soil shoveled back from the scene.The forensic doctor conducted a comprehensive autopsy and electronic photography on the corpse, but found no more characteristics about the murder weapon, nor found the murderer's blood-occult fingerprints or DNA.

The township police stations have no reports of the tomb being stolen, and the cremation records of the funeral parlor and crematorium are also correct.The major hospitals and mannequin manufacturers were interviewed one by one, and the news they got back was very pessimistic. There was no clue about the origin of the skull helmet.

The [-] Skeleton Case that happened on a stormy night seemed to be a carrion that crawled out of the Styx, killed an innocent girl who happened to pass by, and then jumped back to the underworld, never to be seen again.

Where else could this case begin?
