No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 36 Revisiting the scene
Images kept flashing before An Youlin's eyes, and he always felt that he had overlooked important details.The feeling of being watched on the top of Huangyin Mountain; the male corpse placed under the cypress tree on the top of the mountain had its external genitalia removed by the murderer; the documents found in the deceased’s apartment; the condom with a hole in the drawer of the bedside table... The final picture is frozen in front of my eyes On the corpse of the deceased, Yang Ping's heart was removed by the murderer.

"Does it have anything to do with the case of the male corpse in Huangyin Mountain?" The dizzy An Youlin heard voices in his ears, and he glanced at Luo Gang beside him, who was talking to Han Ruowei in a low voice.Song Chunming and Guo Junfeng bent over the corpse and discussed something.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Zhuo Qingshan looked at the pale An Youlin and asked with concern. "Xiao Zhuo, come with me!" After speaking, An Youlin took the black leather bag from Zhuo Qingshan's hand and walked out the door.Zhuo Qingshan didn't recover for a while, she looked at An Youlin's back in confusion, and then at Luo Gang.Luo Gang signaled Zhuo Qingshan to follow quickly.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Zhuo Qingshan was sitting in the passenger seat, full of confusion.She and An Youlin had just arrived at the scene of the crime in the Tangning Mansion, but An Youlin did not start investigation and inquiry immediately like the case of the male corpse in Huangyin Mountain.Just took her away from the scene, what kind of trouble is this?

The sky was dark, and it was noon, but it was like night outside.Thunder and lightning flashed in the thick dark clouds, and all vehicles driving on the road turned on their double flashing lights to attract the attention of other vehicles.Although the air conditioner was turned on in the car, Zhuo Qingshan still felt hot and dry all over. She wiped the fog from the window glass with her hands.

An Youlin drove very fast, and the car roared past the rainwater on the road, without being affected by the bad weather at all.Under the heavy rain and dim street lights, the car quickly shuttled among other slow-moving vehicles, honking and accelerating.

"Mr. An, where are we going to investigate now?" Zhuo Qingshan couldn't help looking sideways at An Youlin, but An Youlin just cared about driving and remained silent.Zhuo Qingshan sighed deeply, ever since she knew An Youlin, she had never seen him so serious.Even if the investigation was hindered, he didn't take it too seriously when the suspect escaped in Huangyin Mountain that night, but at this moment, An Youlin was exuding an aura that was more depressing than the dreary weather.

Zhuo Qingshan judged from the direction of the car that An Youlin was driving her to Huangyin Mountain.Huangyin Mountain?Why did An Youlin suddenly think of going to Huangyin Mountain?Although Zhuo Qingshan had doubts in her heart, her mouth seemed to be sealed, and she couldn't speak no matter what.

On weekdays, it would take no more than an hour to drive from Tangning Mansion to Huangyin Mountain.But in such bad weather, An Youlin tried to speed up the car as much as possible, but it still took more than two hours.

The car finally drove to the foot of Huangyin Mountain, and the parking lot was empty.An Youlin bypassed the parking lot and drove the car towards the driveway leading to the top of Huangyin Mountain. The rainwater poured down on the roof of the car, and the wipers kept dividing the torrent from the windshield.The street lights on both sides of the driveway have been turned on, and the rainwater is reflected into circles of uniform size around the lights.

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and the huge cypress tree on the top of Huangyin Mountain was faintly visible, and the car stopped beside the small stone road behind the platform of the big cypress tree.

"What are you doing?" An Youlin didn't answer Zhuo Qingshan's question: "It's already past noon, and there are bread and mineral water in the back seat of the car."

After speaking, An Youlin opened the car door and walked into the rain, and was drenched in an instant.Zhuo Qingshan couldn't sit still, she hurriedly opened the car door with her umbrella, and in the less than a second before she opened the umbrella, she felt a chill and was drenched through.

Zhuo Qingshan held an umbrella and ran towards An Youlin. An Youlin didn't seem to know that he was in the rainstorm, and he walked slowly on the gravel road, rhythmically walking towards the Go to the platform.Zhuo Qingshan held an umbrella for him and walked behind. In her eyes, An Youlin was like a ghost in reality, and what she saw and felt was completely in another dimension.

Although An Youlin was already under the umbrella, the rain was still flowing on him.He looked down at the rain-soaked gravel road, and a cart appeared in his mind, and Zhao Chen's body was placed on the cart.An Youlin pushed the trolley in his mind onto the platform, then carefully moved the corpse under the big cypress tree, and arranged the clothes for the corpse.

After finishing all this, An Youlin stepped back quickly and came to the edge of the platform near the walking path.Another figure who couldn't see clearly appeared in front of his eyes. This figure pushed the trolley back to the gravel road under the platform and walked towards the driveway.Unpredictable dense fog appeared on the screen, and Bai Fangfang, who was holding a phone, walked towards the platform... Zhuo Qingshan shuddered, and she stared at An Youlin's dazed expression closely, not knowing that he was looking at everyone. Thinking about the place where the corpse was once placed under the cypress tree.She held the umbrella in one hand, hugged the arm holding the umbrella in the other, and exhaled slightly.

The scene in front of An Youlin's eyes changed again, returning to the scene when he rushed to the scene of the crime that day.His sudden movement made Zhuo Qingshan unable to react for a while, and Zhuo Qingshan quickly put the umbrella over.An Youlin paced back and forth on the platform according to the route he walked that day. He was recalling the pair of eyes staring at him, where did those slightly mocking eyes come from.

An Youlin walked back and forth on the platform, and Zhuo Qingshan followed him to hold an umbrella for him.An hour passed, and An Youlin's eyes finally settled on this huge cypress tree, watching silently for a long time.

Zhuo Qingshan listened to the sound of the rain hitting the umbrella, she looked at the dark sky, the lightning was like the crooked claws of a ghost passing through the black clouds, making a deafening roar.Zhuo Qingshan trembled, the lightning was so close to her, it seemed as if it would split her into coke if it was just a little lower.An Youlin suddenly walked quickly to the back of the platform, and Zhuo Qingshan also quickly followed.Back in the car, An Youlin was not in a hurry to start the car. He dug out bread, ham sausage and mineral water from the pocket on the back seat and handed them to Zhuo Qingshan. He also opened a portion and began to eat.

Although Zhuo Qingshan was very hungry, she couldn't eat. She had too many questions to ask An Youlin.But at this time, An Youlin was not as easy to communicate as usual, so she had no choice but to swallow the words in the bread.After the two had eaten, An Youlin immediately started the car and asked Zhuo Qingshan where she found the deceased's car in the morning.

Under Zhuo Qingshan's guidance, An Youlin turned around and drove down Huangyin Mountain, heading for the eastern suburbs of Xijing City.The roads in the suburbs are very difficult. After bumps all the way, the car finally drove onto the abandoned road.The dead man's car was still parked under the tree by the river, but the heavy rain continued and the river kept rising, and it was almost flooding around the car.

Zhuo Qingshan held an umbrella and followed An Youlin. When the two came under the tree, they found two policemen in raincoats standing beside the car, and one of them was You Tao.

"Why did you two come here?" An Youlin didn't answer, he stared at the dead man's vehicle in confusion, and stopped.Seeing this, Zhuo Qingshan didn't know how to explain it, so she had no choice but to say to You Tao, "I'll accompany Teacher An over here to take a look. Aren't you in Tangning's mansion? Why are you here?" "It's raining heavily, and Team Luo is worried about the river Up, so sent me over to check on the forensics.

The investigation team has been away for a while, and the evidence collection is temporarily over, and the car will be towed back in a while. "

After a pause, An Youlin said to You Tao: "Can you open the trunk for me?" You Tao nodded and helped open the trunk, which contained a folding cart for transporting corpses.An Youlin bent down to take a closer look at the cart, and then at the scratch marks on the outside of the trunk.Then An Youlin came to the co-pilot's door. He had seen in the photos before that the clothes and belongings of the deceased were neatly placed on the co-pilot's seat.

You Tao wiped his face in the rain, he had no idea what An Youlin's purpose was.He looked at Zhuo Qingshan with puzzled eyes, and Zhuo Qingshan shook her head helplessly at him.

An Youlin, who was leaning over the passenger seat, raised his head slightly to look at the driver's seat, then walked quickly to the door of the driver's seat, opened the door, and said to Zhuo Qingshan, "Sit in and try!"

Zhuo Qingshan handed the umbrella to An Youlin, and sat in the driver's seat in doubt.As soon as she was attached to the seat, she felt very uncomfortable.The steering wheel almost touched her chest, and a suffocating feeling invaded her.Zhuo Qingshan made a subconscious movement—she leaned over and prepared to pull the lever under the seat to adjust the position of the car seat.
