Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 133 What do crows like to eat

"Where did you go?" Lin Zhongyue asked with a sullen face.

Lin Zhongyue has always been very reassuring about this son. Lin Xiaodong has been free to come and go from childhood to adulthood.Asking about whereabouts, this kind of words that Lin Xiaodong had never heard when he was a student, was actually heard when he was 30 years old.

"It's nothing, let's go out and relax." He didn't want to worry Lin Zhongyue, so he didn't tell the truth.

"Xiaodong..." Lin Zhongyue stood up and walked up to Lin Xiaodong, "Let's put it down." He said, with a pleading tone, "Let him pass the past, I don't want anything to happen to our family. thing."

Lin Xiaodong thought he would face a storm, but he didn't expect Lin Zhongyue, as his father, to beg him.

"Dad..." Lin Xiaodong was already very tired, and people are often vulnerable when they are tired, "I want to give an explanation to those who died. I'm sorry, I can't be an obedient son like before." He said A man choked up inexplicably.

"What I told you was all speculation. What do you really mean?" Lin Zhongyue asked.

But Lin Xiaodong asked Lin Zhongyue back: "If you think these are all speculations, then what are you worried about now?"

"I..." Lin Zhongyue was stopped by the question, he was silent for a long time, sighed, and returned to his room dejectedly.

At the extreme of fatigue, Lin Xiaodong couldn't fall asleep.

He lay on his back on the bed, watching the street lights outside the window shining on the lattice patterns on the ceiling. As the sky light gradually faded, at a certain moment, the street lights suddenly went out.

In his sight, what lingering is the endless reeds, the reeds are blowing up with the wind, like summer snowflakes flying in the air, and the girl, every expression when she met him, lowered her eyebrows The evasive nodding of the head may not be shyness.

Early in the morning, there was the sound of car horns downstairs. Lin Xiaodong got up and looked down from the window. It was the truck of the newly opened shop blocking the way.

The people rushing to work seemed more or less irritable. Under the urging of cursing, the car drove away from this place.

The truck finally gave way to a passage, and the flow of cars and people continued to move forward. It was the river of the city, which was blocked and opened again, flowing forward.Lin Xiaodong watched, thoughtful.

He thought of something, grabbed the keys of the motorcycle, and rushed out of the room.

In the reed marshes of the Wetland Park, Lin Xiaodong's motorcycle stopped at the same spot as last time.

"The waterway is also a road..." He faced the wind, looked at the white waters beyond the reeds, and muttered, thinking of this, he dialed Yue Jianfeng's phone: "Jianfeng, I know why the deceased didn't There are traces of coming over. There is a large water area outside the reed marsh. If he swam from the water, it would explain the problem that there are no traces on the shore. Moreover, the amount of exercise such as swimming will cause rigor mortis to occur in advance. This means that the time of his death is likely to be later than the autopsy speculates."

Yue Jianfeng on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and Lin Xiaodong guessed that Yue Jianfeng was probably hesitating whether to exchange the case with Lin Xiaodong, after all, there are differences between inside and outside.

"Jianfeng, I understand, you don't have to say anything, I just want to tell you my speculation." Lin Xiaodong said understandingly.

"No, Team Lin, I was just thinking about what you said." Yue Jianfeng said, "The situation of the further autopsy is very consistent with what you said. We detected a large amount of swamp water in his stomach and found some abnormalities. s things."

"abnormal?"

"Grass roots, undigested frogs, worms..." Yue Jianfeng said and added, "This frog should have been swallowed whole by him. Although it can be seen that this person is physically strong, he died whole in a state of malnutrition.”

"Survival in the wild?!" Lin Xiaodong blurted out, thanks to Ye Mimi, he is too familiar with these contents.

"We checked that the entire wetland covers an area of ​​more than 60 square kilometers. Every year, people get lost in the wetland. But he was killed when he found the exit, as if someone was waiting there specially. This matter is very puzzling. And, Team Lin, why on earth did you go to that place?"

"Because I want to know what happened in Reed Marsh back then. Jianfeng, do you still remember the task I gave you before I left?"

"Remember, Aijuntang."

"I suspect that Lin Zhengyang and Ai Juntang have a very close relationship."

"Didn't Lin Zhengyang die more than 40 years ago?"

"I didn't do a DNA test back then. I found Liu Linhai, who identified the corpse back then. I only confirmed that the deceased was Lin Zhengyang with the clothes and objects. When I went to the archives, Lao Liang said that the person who handled this case was a novice. I After reading the dossier, it seems that there are many doubts in it."

Yue Jianfeng on the other end of the phone was silent again, and after a while, he said: "Team Lin, I understand...you resigned to continue to investigate the case of Ai Juntang? Because once Lin Zhengyang and Ai Juntang's clues are confirmed, you have to The investigation was stopped in accordance with the principle of recusal, right? It's just Team Lin... If it wasn't Lin Zhengyang who died that year, then who exactly was this person?"

Lin Xiaodong held up his mobile phone, looked at the desolate wilderness and swamp in front of him, and said, "I also want to know, who is the person who was buried under the name of Lin Zhengyang?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black crow landed on the muddy ground not far away, with a piece in its mouth, and was eating.It's just that the shape of the thing it was eating was a bit strange. Lin Xiaodong approached it quietly. It was a small piece of flesh without hair, and its smooth outline looked like a human ear.

At this time, there was a shrill cry in the air, and another crow flew over his head and flew towards the other side of the swamp.

At the place where the water and the sky meet, a cloud of black mist lingers on the surface of the water, and the crow flies all the way and disappears in the black mist.

Lin Xiaodong turned on the camera of his mobile phone, pointed at the black mist and pulled the focus closer. He could vaguely see that the black mist was composed of countless black crows, hovering on the water surface, scrambling for land and figuring out what to eat.

This scene was strange and shocking. Yue Jianfeng on the other end of the phone heard that Lin Xiaodong hadn't spoken for a long time, and shouted, "Captain Lin, are you still there?"

Lin Xiaodong answered the phone again, and asked Yue Jianfeng a nonsensical question: "Jianfeng, what do crows like to eat?"

"crow?"

"Yes, Raven."

"I'm right in front of the computer, Team Lin, wait a minute." Yue Jianfeng said, there were a few keystrokes on the phone, and then he listed them one by one, "Crows are omnivorous, eating grains, berries, insects, And carrion..."

"Rotten flesh..." Lin Xiaodong looked ahead and murmured, "Jianfeng, it looks like I'm going to call the police to you. The location is the Reed Beach on the south side of the Linzhou Wetland Reserve. There may be another corpse..."
