him under the stars

Chapter 30 Death
Without being told by others, Shi Xiaojin, Xu Zhang, Yang Cheng and others got up spontaneously and left the table with serious faces.

Han Chen leaned over and put the keys on the table, and looked at Xu Xing: "Go to my office to rest when you're tired, don't run around."

After giving instructions, he took the coat that was draped over the back of the chair and left.

Xu Xing glanced at the food on the table and frowned slightly.Are all police officers so undisciplined?
She lowered her head and continued to eat, but suddenly lost her appetite, barely took two bites, and ate up the ribs.

When leaving, Xu Xing glanced at the back kitchen of the cafeteria, thought about it, and walked over.When she finished her work and passed the police station lobby with the results, she couldn't help but look surprised at the rushing policemen and the stretchers that came in from time to time, and took out a tissue from her pocket to cover her mouth and nose.

Just in time, Xiaojin walked in with a sullen face, her clothes were dirty.Xu Xing grabbed her and asked, "What's the matter?"

Outsiders cannot disclose the details of the case, but Xu Xing's situation is a little different.Shi Xiaojin hesitated for a moment, took her aside, and said in a low voice, "Boss and Fu Qi circled the most likely places to dump the corpses based on the range of activities of the missing person. The comrades in the bureau have been busy all afternoon. , you would never have imagined how many corpses were dug up, and all of them are now sent to the autopsy office. I rely on this utterly conscientious murderer to kill so many people under our noses..."

In the middle of speaking, she hurriedly silenced, and quickly walked past Xu Xing, as if she was busy.

Xu Xing raised his eyes and saw Han Chen walking in.

He twisted his coat with one hand, a lot of mud was stained on his shoes, and there were traces of an unknown color on his shirt. His bangs were slightly wet in a few strands, and there was a deep coldness in his eyes.

Seeing Xu Xing, he suppressed his hostility slightly, and walked over: "Didn't I ask you to go to the office to rest?"

Xu Xing raised the bag in his hand, "You guys haven't eaten yet, I borrowed the back kitchen of the cafeteria to make some steamed buns, and I worked while eating, without delaying things."

Han Chen looked down, the coldness in his eyes gradually disappeared, and it was not a cold expression that could freeze people to death.He took a bag of steamed buns, and after a while...

"Xu Xing." Han Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Can you tell me why the steamed buns you make... are green?"

Xu Xing is very innocent: "Because I added bitter melon juice!"

"It is rich in vitamins and can reduce internal heat, I thought you would like it." She blinked: "By the way, I also suggested it to the master chef in the cafeteria, and he also thinks it is very suitable for you police, especially if you can't solve the case." Time. Tomorrow there will probably be a lot of steamed buns like this in the canteen, just get used to it.”

Han Chen: "..."

He walked into the autopsy office with a steamed bun, opened the door, and Fu Qi and others were there.

Han Chen unscrewed the mineral water on the processing table, drank a couple of sips, handed the bag in his hand, and said in a calm tone, "Those who haven't eaten go out to fill their stomachs before continuing to work."

Xu Zhang moved the fastest.The few of them have a fast metabolism, and they have already digested the food they ate in the morning, and they are so hungry that their chests stick to their backs.It is no exaggeration to say that a cow can be eaten now.If he hadn't been busy with the case, he wouldn't have known where to go for the instant noodles.

Poor Shi Xiaojin was short and didn't grab the front row, so angrily hit the person in front of her, shouting: "Save some for me, can you forgive the police?"

After hammering, it was found that it was wrong.The back of the person in front of him was stiff, his muscles tensed, and he seemed to be sluggish.

Although the food that the boss feeds is always delicious, but it can't be like this, right?

Shi Xiaojin poked his head in doubt and leaned over. Xu Zhang, Yang Cheng, and Yin Yan all opened their mouths, stuffed with steamed buns, and their faces looked extremely painful. The whole face was wrinkled together. After holding back for a long time, he swallowed: "Boss!"

Xu Zhang asked vaguely: "What is this?"

"Steamed buns with bitter gourd juice." Han Chen smiled lightly: "Reduce the fire, supplement vitamins, and quickly create a feeling of fullness."

Everyone: "..."

Shi Xiaojin: "...Hahaha, you deserve it!"

Immediately, several people wrestled together like children—mainly beating Shi Xiaojin who was gloating.

Han Chen let them make trouble and didn't stop it. The case was stressful and should be adjusted appropriately.

The forensic doctor inside was doing an autopsy, and Fu Qi stayed there the whole time, staring at the corpses, wondering what he was thinking.

Han Chen walked over and asked, "Where's the child?"

"The other police officers are taking care of them." Fu Qi looked up with a solemn expression: "Do you think these corpses look familiar?"

"Yeah." Han Chen's eyes deepened: "It's very similar to Gao Xuan's mother's death."

Hands folded in front of the lower abdomen, with a peaceful face.Not only the method of death, but also the occupation and age are very similar.

"The earliest time the victim disappeared was when Gao Xuan was still in prison, not him. But it is too much a coincidence. At first glance, it is almost the same as the photo of his mother seen when investigating Gao Xuan, except for his face. Difference." A trace of doubt flashed across Fu Qijunxiu's face, and he shook his head: "I can't figure it out."

"I've already sent people to screen all the people who have been in contact with Gao Xuan." Han Chen pondered, "This case is really strange."

"Then I'll go to Yao Wan's to have a look. She has been conducting investigations in this area, which should save a lot of time." Fu Qi was about to get up, but was stopped by Han Chen: "Let them go, you should go as soon as possible." Delineate the area where the suspect lives and reduce the amount of investigation.”

He hesitated and nodded slightly.

Han Chen went inside, and several assistants nodded to him when they saw him: "Team Han!" He nodded slightly, and looked up at the forensic doctor: "What did you find?"

The forensic doctor is a woman in her late forties. She is skilled, calm and careful, and is better than many male forensic doctors.She put away the tools and said in a deep voice, "Something is wrong."

"The body of a recent deceased did not have any contusions or fatal wounds on the surface, but there were signs of fractures in the phalanx. It should have been broken and reattached, but due to technical reasons, the bones were not connected properly, causing the bones to grow crooked. In her stomach, not only Food was detected, as well as sleeping pills. The cause of death for all victims was... carbon monoxide poisoning."

Han Chen looked at the corpse. Without the plaster of soil, her complexion was slightly rosy, and she looked peaceful, as if she was just asleep.

"Is the content of sleeping pills fatal?" Han Chen asked.

The forensic doctor shook his head slowly.

"If it's to shorten the pain of death, it's enough to just take sleeping pills, and use carbon monoxide." Han Chen stared at the corpse and frowned slightly: "Is it a ritual?"

"About this..." The forensic doctor tapped the lips of the corpse with his white-gloved fingertips: "Captain Han, you don't know anything."

"Carbon monoxide poisoning is called 'the most beautiful way to die'. Because it will be cherry red after death, rather than the usual purple poisoning."

Han Chen glanced at the lips of the corpse, and sarcastically said, "The most peaceful way, the most beautiful way to die. I really didn't expect that our murderer is actually a combination of contradictions."

"I hope you can catch the murderer as soon as possible." The forensic doctor looked at him calmly: "Whether the deceased felt pain or not, life was taken away. His self-righteous approach... makes people feel sick."

"I will." Han Chen said, "Let me know if you find anything."

The corners of the lips under the forensic mask twitched, and he lowered his head to continue the examination.

at the same time.

In the dim room, there was only a small dim light above his head.

Li Jing knelt on the ground, twisting the front handlebar of the bicycle with his hands, the sweat on his cheeks was like acid, soaked in pain.

hurry up!Hurry up!He's coming back!
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the eye door, she settled down a bit, and pressed down even harder.But I don't know whether it's because of too long time or something, the front handlebar has been rusted for a long time, and it's hard to move.

Li Jing only felt that all his strength had been used, but he still couldn't move half a point.She leaned aside as if she was exhausted, tears slowly fell down, but her voice seemed to be pressed deep in her throat.

I don't know where it is. When she first arrived, she yelled with another woman for a long time, but it seemed that her voice couldn't get out at all, and it made that person unhappy.

Since yesterday, another woman was taken out and never came back.

Li Jing stayed for a while, thinking that her son who didn't know how to be anxious when she didn't go back, his body seemed to have strength again, he braced himself up, lowered his head and bit with his mouth.I don't know how long it took, until there was a taste of rust in the mouth and the pain that the teeth were almost broken, and the movable knob finally turned half a circle with difficulty.

She laughed and cried and continued to disassemble, and soon, the entire front handle was pulled out.

Nervousness, fear, and a touch of excitement made Li Jingxin feel like she was in her throat. Trembling all over, she raised the front handle, stepped on the pile of debris, and slammed hard at the only iron window in the room.

Hey, hey, hey.

The railing on the iron window was smashed and bent, and the sound echoed in the treacherous and dirty room.

Suddenly, Li Jing paused and stared at the door with wide eyes.

Accompanied by the sound of unlocking, the iron chain rattled, as if reflecting the return of the owner.

The footsteps were getting closer.

The person who came opened the door and was stunned for a moment.

There was no one inside.

After walking in slowly, a figure flashed past and ran out from behind the door.

Hearing the sound, the man turned around.After a while, he smiled at the opened door and said softly, "Interesting."

It was only after Li Jing ran out that he realized that there was another door outside - it was a secret room at all.

She slid down against the door with her back against escape, looking hopeless.

That person has gradually walked towards her, his footsteps are unhurried, every step seems to be stepping on her heart.

"I still have a son, he is sick and can't live by himself, can you let me go..." Li Jing pleaded to the approaching figure of the visitor: "I won't say anything, I won't say anything I will say, you let me go... ah!"

The person whose face was hidden in the darkness leaned slightly, and said softly, "You are too tired to live, I will help you break free... But today I am very angry, so I want to teach you a lesson, shhh, don't make noise!"
