Chapter 39 The crime scene
At night, the hungry Captain Chu drove the car all the way to the scene of the crime - a bungalow in the suburban countryside.

To put it this way, most people were asleep, but when the police arrived, the corner of the door was completely surrounded, and a bunch of villagers were watching with flashlights.

"Captain Chu, here we come." The big face greeted him.

"Why are there so many people?" Chu Wuzheng said and glanced outside.

"It was the landlord of this house who made the report. She lives next door. She saw the house without turning off the lights at night to see it. As soon as she entered the yard, she was frightened and yelled at the neighbors."

After all, the neighbors in the countryside know each other, and several families can be called up with a shout.

Seeing that this caused crowds to watch, Chu Wuzheng was even more worried, and hurriedly called a policeman to let him pull the cordon further away.

"Captain Chu, you're not inside."

The big face stopped Chu Wuzheng who was about to enter the house.

"Here." He pointed to the place next to the house.

Chu Wuzheng followed him and walked over.

There is a piece of land. According to the eldest sister of the landlord, she used to grow some vegetables here, and then the house was rented out, and the place was abandoned.

The soil is very soft, and there are still clods that have been set aside on the surrounding concrete ground. It is obvious that someone has loosened it recently.

There are several lamps erected on the periphery of the land, illuminating the square inch of the land like a booth.

There is nothing in this field, only a few scattered weeds on the dark brown soil, which are very conspicuous when illuminated by the light.

Also, it's a woman.

A woman stuck in a pit, buried up to her waist by the soil.

The soil that came out was piled up around her, mixed with a lot of water, frozen by the weather, it was as hard as a wall, and the person stood upright there.

The woman's head was lowered, her long hair covering her face.

Chu Wuzheng stared at the picture in front of him with a solemn expression.

"The deceased was female, aged 25, and died within two hours." The forensic doctor said after putting the body on the concrete floor for examination. "There was a rope groove in the neck of the deceased, and the cause of death was preliminarily judged to be strangulation."

"The face of the corpse has obvious marks of being hooped, and there are also some wounds on the body, which need to be taken back for further examination."

"Where's Ke Rong?" Chu Wuzheng asked.

"Section Chief Chen is on vacation today." A forensic doctor replied.

Chu Wuzheng let out an "oh", and then glanced at the location of the corpse just now.

At this time there was a big pit, surrounded by a circle of soil, it must have taken a lot of effort to dig it.

This is no ordinary killing.

This way of handling the corpse is enough to prove that the murderer is not only satisfied with the blood and blood after the violence. For Ta, it is more important to see the appearance of the dead after being manipulated.

Said it was like a booth, indeed.

For the murderer, the viewing experience this time must be perfect.

Back at the police station, Chu Wuzheng discovered that Shen Shiyu had called him twice, half an hour apart.

He tried to go back to the past, but it was connected quickly.

"Are you still asleep?" He was surprised.

"I have something to look for you." Shen Shiyu said.

"What's the matter?" Chu Wuzheng yawned.

He raised his hand to turn off the lights in the office, ready to go back to the dormitory.

Shen Shiyu paused for a few seconds. "Do you have anything to do tomorrow weekend? I want to treat you to dinner."

"tomorrow?"

He has a lot of things.

Chu Wuzheng rubbed his hair, waiting for her to wake up is really not easy, it's a pity he doesn't have that appetite now.

Shen Shiyu understood the meaning of his silence.

"Not tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow?" She asked again.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Chu Wuzheng laughed. "Can I still run?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Shen Shiyu was in no mood to joke with him.

When talking about when he is free, Chu Wuzheng is also bored, this case is not busy at all.

But after thinking about it, he still had a job as a consultant, so he told her. "You can come to the bureau tomorrow, just so I have something to look for you."

Chu Wuzheng returned to the dormitory and smoked three cigarettes in a row, which was probably enough for this month.

I had no choice but to turn off the light and lie back on the bed, counting sheep towards the ceiling.

In fact, it was true to say that he was tired, but it was also true that he couldn't sleep. After all, there were too many things on his mind, and he couldn't help thinking.

This case is too difficult, and now the murderer's modus operandi has been upgraded again, and there are so many onlookers, and the pressure from the top will give Chu Wuzheng a headache just thinking about it.

He opened the bedside drawer and took out the sleeping pills.

Since he suffered from insomnia, this medicine has been kept at home and in the dormitory.

Looking at the medicine bottle, Chu Wuzheng remembered when Shen Shiyu had just left.

In fact, he didn't feel much at that time. He ate well and slept soundly, just like a normal person.

But one year has passed, two years have passed, three years have passed, and he doesn't know when he started to feel scared.

The fear came very quickly and violently, and for a period of time, it swept him madly like wanting his life regardless of time and place.

As if waking up suddenly, he realized that he seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit.Everything is invisible and intangible, only darkness and coldness.

He stayed inside alone, restless, restless, caressing his heart that was getting cold.

. . . it was an unbearable period of time.

But these, in exchange for today's luck.

Fortunately, she is back.

No matter how many years are ahead, he will still have a Shen Shiyu in the second half of his life, a complete one, his Shen Shiyu, his baby.

He is content.

Chu Wuzheng managed to sleep through the night after taking two sleeping pills.Shen Shiyu here is not so easy.

Seeing that it was already early in the morning, she was still staring at a pile of barbecue skewers beside the sofa in a daze.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Lan Youyin squinted at her while lying on the sofa.

"It's not because of you!" Shen Shiyu said angrily. "I'm so bored! How can I still sleep?"

"I'm not scaring you, it's hard to be a stepmother." Lan Youyin continued to speak earnestly after taking a sip of beer. "Besides, it's a girl again. When she reaches puberty, she will definitely lose her temper. You are not her real mother, so you can't beat her or scold her. What should you do when the time comes?"

"Besides, didn't you say that there are traces of the mistress in his house? I advise you to ask him if he still has that woman in his heart... If there will always be a place for her in his heart, even so, you will Doesn't matter?"

"Children are the bond that will keep two people entangled for the rest of their lives."

These words lingered in Shen Shiyu's ears until almost dawn.

Lying on the bed, she constantly pictured Chu Wuzheng's appearance, his face, his hair, and his body in her mind.

For such a long time, she restrained herself from thinking and forced herself to withdraw from her past memories.

But today, she finally knows that she still has the right to miss that man, and she can still love him openly.

At that moment, she seemed to see herself teetering on the edge of the cliff, grabbed a strong rope, and then showed an extremely happy smile.

But Lan Youyin's words really poured cold water on her.

But what made her even more sad was that she had to admit that he was right.

The reason in Shen Shiyu's brain kept reminding her to think more about the future and not to act impulsively.

But the deepest heart wanted her to rush over and tell Chu Wuzheng how much she missed him these past few years.

The interweaving of rationality and sensibility almost split her in two, and Shen Shiyu couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
