Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 47 Fingers
"I stole the safe directly. You really belong to me." Lin Xiaodong said while looking at the records.

Zhu Youcai lowered his head in shame: "I'm so bewitched, I... what will happen to me?"

"That depends on how much money is in the safe."

……

"Captain Lin, finally got in touch with Liu Lisha. She was drunk. We didn't know the house was stolen when we found her." Xiao Xu reported to Lin Xiaodong who walked out of the interrogation room.

"At that time, there were only Liu Lisha and this Zhu Youcai in the room. If even Liu Lisha didn't know that her home had been stolen, who would have called the police?" Lin Xiaodong frowned, puzzled.

At this moment, Yue Jianfeng hurried over with a document from another direction: "Team Lin, there is something new!"

"Huh?" Lin Xiaodong looked at Yue Jianfeng's dignified expression, knowing something was wrong, and immediately took the document in his hand. Inside was a black and black image, which he didn't understand at first glance, "What is this?"

"The safe that Zhu Youcai stole was fingerprinted. We asked Liu Lisha, but she didn't even know there was such a safe at home, and she couldn't open it even with her fingerprints."

"You have to use Qian Yingjie's fingerprints?"

"It should be. However, although his body is still at the forensic doctor, because the time of death is too long, the fingerprints have been deformed. We tried it and couldn't open it. It will take some time for the safe manufacturer to come to assist in unlocking the lock, so we will first Try to scan it to see what's inside, and this is the result." Yue Jianfeng pointed to the image in Lin Xiaodong's hand.

Lin Xiaodong took a closer look, and now he could see that it was indeed the outline of a safe, but inside, there was a vaguely square box with a short strip in it, divided into two sections, and there was no reason for it, but it was definitely not. Qian: "What is this thing?"

Yue Jianfeng took a deep breath and replied, "Because the forensic doctor is here, he suspects it's a human finger."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaodong raised his head suddenly: "Finger?!" At that moment, he seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, where there were countless dark messages, provocative tentacles reaching out to attack him.

Those memories accumulated deep in his mind wouldn't be so scary if they weren't confirmed by reality.Fingers, he remembered, not long ago, in the cruel past that Chen Yu talked about, one of Chen Shi's fingers disappeared.

All incidents involving Jiang Xu will eventually fall on one person, and that is Chen Shi.Qian Yingjie, why did he die? The answer is ready to come out.

And the answer was delivered to him in such a "accidental" way.

Someone once told him so firmly how unreliable probability and chance are.

Coincidentally, this person is Ye Mimi who has a mysterious relationship with Jiang Xu like "quantum entanglement".

……

Chen Yu's cell phone was placed on the table, and Jiang Wanchao's missed call was lit on the screen. He obviously didn't intend to go back.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." He said in a deep voice.

With a "wow", the door was forcefully opened. With such a big movement, Chen Yu couldn't help but look in the direction of the door.

I saw Lin Xiaodong standing at the door, but still holding the doorknob with his hand, as if the pause button was pressed, and he looked at Chen Yu motionless, only his chest rose and fell, proving that he was still breathing.

Chen Yu rarely saw him like this, and knew that something extraordinary must have happened.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Chen Yu returned to his desk, crossed out the missed call ID on his phone, and put it aside.

"Chen Bureau..." Lin Xiaodong stood up straight and said to him solemnly, "We need your help."

"Oh? What difficulties are encountered in Qian Yingjie's case? Tell me if there is anything that needs to be coordinated."

"We may have found Chen Shi's finger, and we are already trying to extract DNA fragments from the bone marrow. Since you are his closest relative we can find, we need to collect your DNA sample for comparison and confirmation." Lin Xiaodong finished in one breath. , as if he had completed a difficult task, he let out a long breath.

Chen Yu froze for a moment, about the same as what Lin Xiaodong experienced. At that moment, too many complicated thoughts and memories rushed to him.

That was the unfinished prologue ten years ago, a sign of being reopened.

The missing wreckage, the wreckage that I thought would never come back, came back just like that.

Chen Yu's thick hands turned into fists, and his face was covered with ten years of wind and frost covering the once passionate blood. The deep voice trembled at this moment: "Where did you find it?"

"Qian Yingjie's safe..."

"Chen Bureau, someone guided us to find the finger in the safe. It has been air-dried. According to the preliminary test, it may have been stored for about ten years. The time is consistent. In addition, Jiang Xu..." Lin Xiaodong mentioned this People, glanced at Chen Yu, Chen Yu frowned as expected, deeply worried, but even so, Lin Xiaodong still had to continue, "He participated in this case again, according to the statement he gave last time, we traced Looking at the relationship between Qian Yingjie and the East China Petroleum Oil Market, there is indeed a problem..."

"I'll go sampling with you first! Talk while walking!" Chen Yu strode out of the office vigorously.

The sun rises in Linzhou as usual, and the sun shines through the branches of phoenix trees with new buds, and shines into Chen Yu's office. After a sleepless night, at sunrise, he gets the DNA comparison results. The report is from Lin Xiaodong. I don't know why. , he felt that he could only give it to Chen Yu.He thought wishfully, hoping that Chen Yu wouldn't have to suppress his deeply buried emotions like that with him - that was too hard.

Fifteen minutes had passed, and Chen Yu was facing the window, holding a report, without saying a word.

Lin Xiaodong didn't speak, but stood silently with Chen Yu in the office illuminated by the morning light.

Finally Chen Yu turned around, his eyes were a little red, he didn't know if it was from staying up late or something else.The emotional release that Lin Xiaodong imagined did not happen.

However, Chen Yu made a request that had nothing to do with the investigation of the case: "That Chen Shi's finger...I want to see it."

……

After ten years, it could no longer be seen that it was a finger. The flesh had already turned black and air-dried to tightly wrap the phalanx. If it wasn't for a professional inspection, it would look like nothing more than a black branch.

Chen Shi's body had already been cremated, and Chen Yu looked at the only remains left by his brother in the world. Apart from mixed feelings, there was terror in his heart - this wreckage, like an innocent soul who could not sleep, crawled from hell to the world , looking for something.

"What is your goal?" Chen Yu murmured, pointing his fingers.
