Suspected death is coming

Chapter 42 1 more victim

The twilight was getting thicker, and the afterglow of the sunset glowed like blood from the jungle. The corpse had been moved away long ago, and the people from the trace inspection department had already closed the team, leaving only a few people from the third group in the entire open space.

Ke Ran stood in the afterglow, behind him, there happened to be an interval of trees, his face turned away from the remaining light of the setting sun, only his eyes could still see the light.

Such a scene, coupled with Ke Ran's dull face, cold voice and the sentence: "I'm waiting for him to die!"

All the people present except Yuan Che couldn't help screaming, and Yuan Che also screamed, but he didn't make a sound, just trembled in his heart.

Liu Lingling who reacted first angrily rebuked:

"What are you doing? People are scary."

The strange feeling in Yuan Che's heart made him unable to control his mouth for a moment.

Ke Ran's words kept echoing in his ears, repeated over and over again, refusing to leave for a long time, as if these words were not spoken by Ke Ran, but imagined from his mind.It wasn't what Ke Ran said, but the voice in his heart.

If Liu Lingling and the others hadn't bombarded Ke Ran, Yuan Che would have thought he was hallucinating.

"That's right, which game did you play? This wilderness is full of darkness, you can't play like this."

Ke Ran hurried out of the grass, the creepy expression just now was gone, replaced by guilt:

"Sorry, I just suddenly felt that the boy crawled here because the murderer was standing here, and he was just thinking about the murderer and begging for mercy."

Several people imagined the scene of the boy crawling past begging for mercy in pain that night, and couldn't help but shuddered.

Liu Lingling raised her hands:

"Don't play anymore, let's go back first. It's dark and we can't see anything here. We have taken away everything that should be taken away. What are we doing here?"

Several other people responded quickly, and before Yuan Che could speak, they had already rushed to the stone road leading to the main road.

Ke Ran stood there motionless, obediently waiting for Yuan Che to speak.

Yuan Che's beating heart just now calmed down slightly, he didn't look at Ke Ran, didn't speak, just passively followed them away, as if he didn't see what happened just now.

After hurriedly getting into the car, several people felt a little relieved.Gu Huayu in the driver's seat looked at Yuan Che next to him suspiciously.

Why didn't you speak for a while?Ke Ran was not pleasing to the eye all day long, and now he had a good opportunity to stab him a few words, but let it go in vain.

But this can only be whispered in the bottom of my heart, but it is difficult to say it.

The car was terribly quiet along the way, Liu Lingling once wanted to break the silence, she opened her mouth to tell a dry joke, but in the end, only Gu Huayu cheered and heheed, and it was over.

It wasn't until the car drove back to the gate of the police station that Yuan Che said:

"You all go back, the autopsy still has to wait for an hour or two, I'll just stay here, something..."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, looking at the woman standing at the door of the office building, with an expression as if he had swallowed a big pill and choked on it.

"I'll call you if there is something to do. The meeting is over." Before the car stabilized, Yuan Che had left the rest of the sentence and opened the passenger door, jumped out of the car, faced the woman standing at the door, and directly pulled She walked to the gate.

His actions scared Gu Huayu to the brakes, and the people in the car swooped forward. When they sat upright again, they could only see the backs of Yuan Che and the woman.

Now the light can only rely on the street lamps in the office building and the yard. They vaguely saw the woman wearing a beige Yiyi dress, with a graceful figure from the back, her hair tied in a bun behind her head, following Yuan Che all the way. Trot, his hair trembling slightly, indescribably lively.

Gu Huayu and the others stared at the backs of the two of them until they disappeared from sight, then Liu Hecheng hesitated and said:

"Did you just say that the meeting was over? Did he short-circuit his head?"

Liu Lingling snickered:

"I think his soul has been seduced long ago, and he is incoherent."

It was only then that Gu Huayu remembered that the car was still parked in the driveway, and he was in gear to adjust the twisted angle of the car.

Liu Hecheng asked again:

"Who is that? The head's girlfriend? Have you heard that he has a girlfriend?"

"No." Gu Huayu and Liu Lingling answered in unison.

Ke Ran asked dumbly:

"How big is your head? Don't have a girlfriend yet?"

Gu Huayu said: "How old are you, are you asking about biological age or psychological age?"

"Is there any difference?"

Liu Lingling then replied: "What about the biological age? It's 28 years old. The mental age was 38 when the case was handled. At other times, it was or was not yet an adult."

"Oh."

Gu Huayu parked the car, and did not get out of the car in a hurry, and said to Ke Ran with a smile:

"Hey, Ke Ran, we've always wanted to give you a like. You know yesterday was the first time we saw him being so embarrassing in front of us. He always had a cold face and pretended to be mature. You can see it yesterday. What? It’s Yuan Che’s true colors. Don’t say anything, we’ll treat you to a meal another day. I didn’t sing on KTV last time, but I’ll make up for it next time.”

Ke Ran quickly shook his head: "No need, I'm not very good at singing."

Liu Hecheng managed to interject, regardless of what Ke Ran said: "Seriously, did you do it on purpose? Or did you do it unintentionally?"

Ke Ran smiled slightly, but without answering, he opened the car door and got out of the car, looked in the direction where Yuan Che disappeared, turned and walked into the office building.

Outside the gate, Yuan Che pulled the woman to the wall, and stopped after confirming that no one would see her:

"Why are you here? Why don't you go to my house and find me?"

"Is that your home? You don't have a woman, and you don't go back often, so where is your home?"

"How do you know I won't go back?"

"I've been to your house, and the house is almost full of cobwebs. It took me a long time to clean up before the house was bright."

"Mom, you are my mother, not an old mother, why clean up my house."

"What? If you live at home, don't I have to clean up too? Now I have to clean up two houses. I know I'm tired, so I'll move back."

Yuan Che looked at his mother silently.

My mother is over 50 years old, and when I saw her last time, she already had gorgeous hair on her temples.If it weren't for being good at maintenance, she would be a half-old lady by now.

Compared with a few years ago, my mother looks much older. A few years ago, people would believe that she was my sister.

"Okay, I don't want to talk about this question. What do you want to see me for?"

Yuan Che's mother looked at Yuan Che sadly:

"I asked you to go home in these two days, but you didn't reply to me. I left the conversation here. If you don't reply, I can come here to guard every day until you go back."

Yuan Che looked at the pouting mouth in disbelief:

"Are you threatening me?" He hurriedly reached out to touch his mother's forehead, and she patted it down.

"Are you all right? What happened, you must let me go back? After so many years, I thought you had given up. "

"A mother never gives up on her child. I tell you, you are not allowed to tell your father."

Yuan Che didn't nod or shake his head. He and his father haven't spoken for many years. Why does his mother seem to be talking nonsense?

"I'll take it as your promise, and don't go back on it." He whispered as if he was afraid that others would hear:

"Your dad misses you. You don't know. He's always talking in his sleep lately. He always calls you by your name in his sleep. He doesn't say it, but I know it. After all, he's over 60 years old, and you're the only one of us." Son, you were so attractive to him when you were young, but you were just angry at the beginning, and you both took it seriously. We are both of the blood of the same family, so how can you really stay away from each other forever?"

Yuan Che remained silent, looking at the ring on her mother's finger, unblinking as if wanting to see flowers.

Mom was anxious, and gently pushed Yuan Che's shoulder:

"Are you talking back?"

Yuan Che swallowed with difficulty, his throat felt a little stiff, and his eyes were a little sore:

"I see. I'll go back when my case is over."

"Ah? How long will it take? You can only take ten days and a half a month for a case?"

"So, you just pray that we will find clues quickly and solve the case as soon as possible. Okay, you go back, I will call you a car."

Yuan Che's mother stopped him and said:

"Okay, I see. I'll call it myself. You have to keep your word. Let me know when you'll come back. I'll prepare something delicious."

Yuan Che nodded, and watched his mother, who turned around resolutely, get into a taxi.

Thinking of going home to face his father who always had only one expression, he even hoped that the case would just hang there.The sense of awe he had for his father since he was a child has always overwhelmed him, and now it is difficult to breathe in retrospect.

That confrontation with his father almost killed him, and his legs were limp when he left the house.

But he still took this path. In his bones, he seemed to have such an obsession in his heart. To make him choose this path was like being possessed by a demon.

His mother asked him many times why he made such a decision.

He can only answer for a free life.

Free life, go to hell, he didn't have much freedom when he left home, instead he was trapped by the ropes from survival.

The only thing left to him is whether he can go hungry or get drunk.

Back at the office, none of the people who were anxious to go home did not leave, but instead seemed to have been beaten to death, they were all busy.

Seeing that the collected situation has been listed out, the beautiful fonts under each photo are written by Ke Ran.

"Aren't you leaving? So dedicated?"

Liu Hecheng hurriedly handed over his water glass:

"I didn't even say to go, how can we go by ourselves, aren't we a team? Right?"

Liu Lingling and the others gestured towards Yuan Che, and they were all busy with their own business.

Yuan Che pulled the chair to the front of the board, and there were some information on it that was not there before.

"What? The source of the corpse hasn't been found yet? Didn't anyone report it?"

Liu Lingling said: "No, I'm trying to find a way to contact the middle schools in the urban area to see if there are any students who are absent from class without reason today. I'm still implementing them one by one."

Gu Huayu put down the phone:

"I contacted the traffic police. The surveillance video on both sides of the road from six o'clock to ten o'clock yesterday is being searched to see if I can find that off-road vehicle. I just got the report from the trace inspection department. Let's take a look. "

Yuan Che took the report and flipped through it:

"There were indeed four people at the scene. Except for the bones and the cigarette butts of the drink bottles, nothing was left behind. They were cleaned up quite cleanly. What is this?" Yuan Che looked at the report on the second page and the supporting photos inside.Several people put down what they were doing and came together, only Ke Ran was still standing in front of the whiteboard, looking at the few people who gathered together, as if he had no interest in finding out.

The photo on the second page is a piece of grass. There is some sand on the grass that seems to have been shoveled from other places. The color of the sand is brighter than the sand on the road just now, as if there is something mixed in it.

The report reads: "There are semi-digested foods such as chicken and pork in the soil."

"Chicken? Aren't there chicken bones on the site? That is to say, someone cleaned up the vomit. There is no trace of the clearing. These are the vomit that appeared in other places. Why is the vomit cleaned up? Afraid of being seen ?"

"There is another possibility that someone besides the deceased was poisoned."

"There is another person who was poisoned, who? Since they were all poisoned, why did you leave this boy here alone? Seeing that the venue has been cleaned up, since there is time to clean up, why don't you have time to take the dead away with you?"

Ke Ran put down the whiteboard marker and approached, and looked at the report from between them:

"Didn't any food packaging box be found at the scene?"

Yuan Che flipped through it twice and shook his head: "No. Strange, why not?"

Liu Lingling said:

"Didn't you say it was cleaned up?"

Yuan Che frowned and said:

"There are cigarette butts, chicken bones, and drink bottles on the ground. These are leftovers that have not been cleaned up. Food packaging boxes should also belong to this type of garbage. Unless..."

Keran said:

"Unless there are clues in the box that we don't want us to see. For example, where the food came from. That is, it is likely to be the food brought by the murderer, so I am afraid of being found out."

Gu Huayu hurriedly made a call:

"Qiu Chen? Excuse me, from the bones at the scene, can you find out which restaurant it is in?"

The voice on the other side of the phone, Qiu Chen, laughed:

"There are so many restaurants in the city, all of which use similar food ingredients, how do you check?"

"That's right, since it's not easy to find out, why was the lunch box taken away?"

Yuan Che said in a low voice: "Let's not talk about why the lunch box was taken away. If it were you, would you just eat food brought by strangers in the wilderness?"

Several people shook their heads together.

"So, the murderer and the deceased knew each other, and they may even be a family."
