him under the stars

Chapter 55 Live
The fifth block is the central business district, including Lincheng's largest commercial buildings, shopping centers, hotels, apartments, exhibitions, etc. It is also the most prosperous central area in Lincheng.

The body was left in such a prominent place.

When Han Chen arrived, in addition to the onlookers outside the cordon, there were also major media who had heard the news, holding microphones and cameras behind them.

He frowned and took a look, pushed aside the crowd, put on his gloves, set off the cordon and walked in.Upon receiving the news of his arrival, Yang Cheng, who was investigating inside, immediately rushed over, "Boss."

He glanced at the black crowd outside and said, "We are mediating with the media, but now the incident is fermenting far faster than we imagined, and it is out of control."

After all, this is a bustling area, even if there is no media disturbance, it will not be completely suppressed.

Han Chen said "um", and Yang Cheng began to report the basic situation as before: "The deceased Ji Ling, 26 years old, was a planner of China TV Media. The time of death was probably between one and four in the morning last night. At six o'clock this morning, The sanitation workers cleaned up the garbage on the lawn as usual, and found a large horizontal bag next to the mobile trash can, opened it and found the dead person."

"The body was naked, the abdomen was cut open, and a rose was left on the part where the kidney was removed...It is completely in line with Gao Xuan's modus operandi."

Yang Cheng paused and looked at Han Chen.

He walked to the corpse throwing place with no expression on his face.Yao Wan, Fu Qi and the others were all there. Seeing him coming, they took a few steps back to make room.

Han Chen took the anklet, put it on, and walked over.

Judging from the body, her death condition was definitely not good—eyes open, pupils shrunk, and a face showing a kind of extreme panic and fear.The arms were crossed in front of the bare chest, and the abdomen was opened below to expose various internal organs. The sanitation workers were frightened and caused the body to fall out of the bag, and the small intestines drooped out, exposing the body in circles.His back was arched, his hands were holding his bent legs, and his body was stiff and distorted to some extent due to his posture. Han Chen squatted there motionless.

Regarding Ji Ling, only Fu Qi, Xu Zhang and Yang Cheng knew the inside story. After all, they were involved in the last accident and knew about her relationship with Xu Xing.

As a policeman, corpses are definitely not uncommon, but the person who said a few words a while ago was suddenly tortured, killed and thrown away. It was hard for anyone to accept, so the two of them didn't speak for a while.

Before Han Chen came, Yao Wan had already completed the basic survey of the scene. Standing aside, she said, "After all, it is not the first murder scene, and the clues are limited. Except for the change in the place where the body was dumped, other details are related to the victims of the Gaoxuan case." It matches. My opinion... is Gao Xuan!"

"Since he escaped from prison, the police arrest operation has been carried out closely. Until a week ago, because there were no traces, the police force was redistributed and the number of operations was reduced. Then, this happened. The victim chose, killed The technique and the signature rosette with a strong personal touch...it's clear who the killer is."

"Is there any possibility of imitating the crime?" Fu Qi said in a calm tone: "When the Gao Xuan case was detected two years ago, the Han team said in the profile - 'he' is a cautious and patient person. But in this case, the murderer deliberately put the body here, which has attracted a lot of attention. Before long, the higher authorities will put pressure on the deadline for solving the case. Hiding, for a person who escaped from prison, isn't it a bit inappropriate for him to behave?"

Both Yin Yan and Yang Cheng nodded.At this time, Shi Xiaojin's voice sounded from behind: "It won't take a while." She raised the phone in her hand and walked over: "The higher-ups issued a death order. If the murderer cannot be caught within 48 hours, he will also give An explanation must not cause panic in the city."

"It won't hurt your back when you stand and talk." Yang Cheng muttered in a low voice.

"It's easier to explain..." Yao Wan looked up at them, and said in a crisp voice, "After all, the possibility of imitating the crime is not very high. First, the profile that Fu Qi you mentioned was made by Team Han two years ago. It is true that Gao Xuan is bold, cautious, cautious and patient, but at the same time, he is extremely confident because of his successful experience in many crimes. This kind of self-confidence will gradually turn into conceit as the number of victims increases. Such a person was arrested. We don't know anything about his life experience and mental state in prison. It is necessary to re-profile, and the previous ones cannot be trusted. From the perspective of this case... His provocative psychology towards the police is very clear. Maybe next time, he will Choose a more sensational modus operandi."

"Secondly... the purpose of imitating crimes is either to gain attention, hoping to be known like the imitated person, but Gao Xuan has been imprisoned for two full years. This type of imitator is usually where the murderer is most famous. Committing crimes during a certain period of time, he would not choose a period when he was almost forgotten. Or it was to transfer the crime to the person who was imitated. But in this case, the details prove that it is not an imitation homicide."

"That's right." Yang Cheng agreed: "We only announced that Gao Xuan would take away the victim's kidney and leave a pruned rose, but we didn't say that he would put the rose in the kidney's original place." position, and upside down."

Fu Qi also nodded.

The thorns on the flower paths of the roses that were put into the abdominal cavity of the corpse were specially carefully trimmed, and the flowers were also hung down with transparent glue and placed upside down. This is a detail that outsiders cannot know.

Yao Wan looked at Han Chen, since he came in, he kept his back to the crowd and didn't express any opinion.

"What does Team Han think?" she asked.

Han Chen raised his head slightly and glanced at her.

But it was just a light glance, as if it was just an inadvertent move, before the slight curve of Yao Wan's lips was fully raised, he lowered his head again.

The smile on her face froze slightly and slowly fell.

Han Chen's glove was stained with blood between his fingers, and he closed Ji Ling's wide-open eyes with his side palm, turned slightly sideways, pointed at her abdomen and asked lightly, "When the body was found, were the intestines arranged like this? "

Several people looked at it and were stunned for a moment.

Han Chen seemed to be silent just now, but in fact, besides opening the internal organs to check, he was sorting out the intestines and arranging them layer by layer.

"It was the first time I found out that the person was overly frightened, and I couldn't tell anything except the basic information when I asked about it before." Fu Qi replied.

Han Chen said in a cold voice without raising his head: "The more pictures like this, the more impressive they are. She must remember that she was just too scared and flustered, so her brain was confused under stimulation, so she asked."

Fu Qi glanced at Yang Cheng, he nodded, and turned to look for the sanitation worker who was still taking notes at the police.

Yao Wan looked at Han Chen with a complicated expression.

He didn't draw any conclusions. Instead, he asked people to ask the first person who discovered it again. Is he... not agreeing with her opinion?

Xu Xing put his hands on the steering wheel and redialed Ji Ling's number again, but the mechanical female voice still rang out, "The phone you dialed has been turned off..."

She thumped the steering wheel hard, slid her fingertips across the address book, landed on the word "Han Chen", paused for a few seconds, and swipe across.

Han Chen's anomaly in the morning was like a movie. Ever since she couldn't get through to Ji Ling's phone call, it had been replaying in her mind.

She dared not ask.

Ji Ling might be in a meeting at this time, maybe his phone was turned off and he didn't pay attention, or he was on a business trip and forgot to bring his power bank.

Xu Xing kept thinking about all the possibilities, looking through the address book against the backdrop of the traffic jam, and when he touched the names of Ji Ling's parents, his fingers shrunk and still passed by.As a result, after digging through the entire address book, she couldn't find anyone who could help find out the news.

Xu Xing was lying on the steering wheel, her temples were throbbing, her eye sockets were hot and sore, it wasn't until the familiar elegant voice came over the phone that she realized that she subconsciously called Gu Cen.

"small star?"

It sounded like they were in a meeting. Half a minute later, with the sound of walking, the surroundings became quiet.

"What happened?" Gu Cen asked.

It's been nearly a month since she took the initiative to call him, and it's working hours like this, so there must be something wrong.

"I..." As soon as Xu Xing opened his mouth, he was already crying: "Ji Ling can't get through the phone, Xiao Meng said that the person whose body was dumped in the fifth block looks like her, me, I can't get through her phone..."

Gu Cen's face was slightly condensed: "Don't worry, Ji Ling often travels for business meetings, maybe it's because of something that I can't get through. She introduced her boss to come here to see a doctor, so I'll go find him and call."

"En." Xu Xing replied, staring at the long queue ahead of him, and honked the horn several times.

Gu Cen passed the meeting room in a hurry, a doctor just opened the door and stopped him: "Where are you going?"

"I have something to do." Gu Cen walked towards the elevator without stopping.

The doctor was taken aback, and shouted, "I'm about to do a self-report on job title evaluation, what do I have to be busy now?"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Cen's figure was already hidden behind the elevator door.

Xu Xing was startled when he heard the voice on the phone: "Are you evaluating the title?"

"With my qualifications, I can't be judged. It's just a formality." Gu Cenwen said softly.

Xu Xing was silent for a while listening to the sound of papers being turned over, and then suddenly raised the volume: "Ji Ling replied to my message. I'll call her and hang up first."

Over there, Gu Cen paused and looked at the phone that had ended the call.

There was already a urging horn honking from behind the car. Xu Xing glanced at the short distance the convoy had moved, then suddenly opened the car door and ran down.

Many drivers poked their heads out from behind, and someone shouted, "You don't want the car anymore?"

Xu Xing ran all the way to the fifth block, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, his throat was stuck like a razor blade, and he was sweating profusely pushing away the onlookers.

Someone was yelling at her behind her, but as if she didn't hear a word, she squeezed outside the cordon and was stopped by the police just as she was about to go in.

"What are you doing? Didn't you see the cordon?" A police officer stood in front of him, yelling in a stern voice: "The police are handling the case, please stay away from irrelevant personnel."

"Let me in." Xu Xing blinked the sweat on his eyelashes, narrowed his eyes sourly, and pulled up the cordon.

In the next second, his hand was beaten off, and several police officers surrounded him.

Xu Xing took a step back a little unsteadily, paused, and shouted hoarsely: "Han Chen!"

"Han Chen..."
