No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 7 Rain and Mist Emperor's Hidden Mountain

Huangyin Mountain is located in the east of Xijing City. Ten years ago, it was just a low mountain with only a small road leading to the top of the mountain.After ten years of continuous reconstruction and repair, Huangyin Mountain has become an important place for nearby citizens to exercise in the morning and take a walk at night.

There are three roads leading to the top of Huangyin Mountain, and there is a road that can be used by cars to reach the top of the mountain.

The other is a walking path, which is winding and winding. The road is lined with trees, and there are leg-high weeds between the trees. During the season when the vegetation is at its most lush, the dense leaves will cover the path.

The last road is the step road from the parking lot at the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. This road is relatively steep. If it is not for high-intensity physical exercise, few people are willing to climb to the top of the mountain from this road.However, this step road will pass a very wide stone platform and a pavilion for resting feet. The platform is one-third of the step road, and many elderly people will gather on the platform to practice Tai Chi.As for the resting pavilion, it is located on a gentle slope approaching the top of the mountain.

I don't know if it was because of the rain the night before, but this morning, the mountain road was wet and slippery. When the sky was bright, few people went to the mountain for morning exercises. Almost the entire Huangyin Mountain was shrouded in wet mist.

Although the sky was clear, the morning sun could not penetrate the thick fog, it just made the fog look thicker.Layers of fog rise and fall one after another, surrounding each other, like ghosts playing and chasing in the mountains.The damp mist blows through the trees, making a sound like running water, thick and noisy, like the hissing and screaming of evil spirits lurking in the woods waiting for lost passers-by.

A gray figure walked in the thick fog, it was a young girl in a jacket.She was wearing a hood, her hands in her pockets, and she was muttering dissatisfiedly.She tried to look at the city below the mountain, but she couldn't see anything except thick fog.She took a deep breath, and the thick mist rushed into her mouth and nose. She coughed a few times quickly, feeling almost like drowning.The young girl in a bad mood took out her mobile phone from her pocket, quickly dialed a number, and shouted into the mobile phone: "Let's go for a walk together, what did you say 'Huangyin Mountain is like a fairyland after it rained', In the end, you told me you couldn't come when I got to the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, what do you mean?"

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, the girl said angrily: "Go back? I've driven so long to get here, am I okay?"

"What? It's obvious that you suddenly broke the appointment, okay?" "Yes, I did it on purpose! Just make a phone call and you'll be fine? Do you care about me?

Did you just ask me if I got home safely? "The girl kept arguing with the other end of the phone, snorting coldly from time to time. After a few minutes, I don't know what kind words were said on the phone, and finally coaxed her to calm down, and her tone became gentle. "Okay, Then you should also pay attention to rest. "The girl bit her lip, "Me?"We are almost at the top of the mountain, and we still can't see the big cypress tree.There is no one else nearby, I am afraid, why not?But at this time, the fog has cleared a lot, and soon some people will come up the mountain.When I came up, I saw several people waiting for my friends to climb the mountain.what?What are you doing with others?Aren't you worried that I ran away with another man?There are handsome guys among those people..."

The girl chatted and walked while holding the mobile phone. The damp rain and fog had dissipated a lot, the city under Huangyin Mountain was hazy, and the big cypress tree on the top of the mountain was faintly visible.

The big cypress tree on the top of Huangyin Mountain can be regarded as a landscape of Huangyin Mountain. It is said that the big cypress tree is hundreds of years old. .

The cypress tree has lush branches and leaves, and the trunk is so thick that it takes four strong young men to hug it.A ring-shaped platform was built around the cypress tree. If you want to appreciate this ancient cypress tree carefully, you have to step up the steps and step onto the platform.

The girl stepped onto the platform with her mobile phone. She didn't care about admiring the old tree surrounded by mist, she was all on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and work," the girl said with a smile, "Yeah!" Just as the girl was about to hang up the phone, she suddenly stopped, "Don't hang up yet!

I saw a man lying under a tree looking drunk, but it was raining last night..."

After receiving the alarm, the police quickly rushed to the top of Huangyin Mountain. At this time, the dense fog had gradually dissipated. Unfortunately, the mild sunshine that shone on the earth again could not dispel the haze on the top of Huangyin Mountain.A cordon was pulled up around the circular platform under the big cypress tree, and there were many citizens doing morning exercises outside the cordon.

Luo Gang was standing within the cordon listening to Zhuo Qingshan's report.The deceased, male, was about 20 years old.Identity is being confirmed.When the deceased was found, he was fully dressed, wearing a white dress shirt, casual trousers, and bare feet.The person who found the deceased was Bai Fangfang, a citizen who went to the top of the mountain for morning exercise. According to her description, she was walking on the footpath at the time, and when she passed a cypress tree, she found the deceased lying under the tree and leaning against the trunk.

At first, Bai Fangfang thought that the deceased was drunk and slept under the cypress tree, so she went to check under the tree, and immediately called the police when she found the deceased. Since more and more citizens went to the top of the mountain for morning exercises during that time, many onlookers gathered around the deceased. May be vandalized.

"Add to the confusion!" Luo Gang said bluntly, "What is the cause of death?" When Zhuo Qingshan was asked this question, she suddenly hesitated, her eyes twitching in their sockets, "The cause of death was excessive blood loss." Luo Gang noticed Zhuo Qingshan's abnormality, and he continued to ask: "Where is the fatal injury?" "The fatal injury is..." Zhuo Qingshan hesitated even more, "The fatal injury is..." "Say!" "The dead The cause of death was the removal of the external genitalia and excessive blood loss." Forensic doctor Han Ruowei came over and rescued Zhuo Qingshan, "Captain Luo, with all due respect, I just discovered the fatal injury of the deceased." Han Ruowei said The leader of the forensic team, she put her long hair in a hat, one end of the mask was still hanging on her ear, and she wore rubber gloves on her hands.Han Ruowei is a beautiful woman, with a gentleness and strength in her brows.She led Luo Gang under the big cypress tree, followed by Zhuo Qingshan.

"Captain Luo, Xiao Zhuo is a newcomer after all." Han Ruowei didn't speak clearly, "You came here in such a hurry, or is it because of the last case?"

The last case was the serial murder case committed on behalf of Guo Keji. "Well, that case is over, but now there is a new case. The case will never be closed." The victim's body was still placed under the cypress tree, and Luo Gang asked Zhuo Qingshan behind him: "Have you been notified?" An Youlin?" "You Tao notified. But Captain Luo, will he be involved in every case as a consultant?" Zhuo Qingshan asked tentatively. "It's Director Zhao's meaning." Luo Gang finished with a cold face, and then asked Han Ruowei, "Group Leader Han, can you tell us about the condition of the corpse?" "I'm really sorry! I'm late."

Luo Gang heard the prestige and looked over, only to see An Youlin walking unsteadily from the sidewalk. The policeman in charge of security did not recognize him.You Tao noticed An Youlin outside the cordon. He walked over and whispered something to his colleagues, and An Youlin was let in.

An Youlin with unshaven beard and disheveled hair was still wearing a slim casual suit, the white shirt inside was still loose, and the tie was hanging in the collar of the shirt like a noose. He was dangling the old black leather bag stepped forward.

"I'm really sorry, I just tidied up at home, and I accidentally came late. Please take care of me."

Although she is not familiar with An Youlin, his slovenly appearance does not seem to have been cleaned up. Zhuo Qingshan couldn't help but criticize: "You were late for at least half an hour..."

"I'm really sorry," An Youlin greeted him with a smile, "I'll pay attention next time, next time. Did I come at the right time? Tell me about the condition of the corpse?"

Han Ruowei squatted down and lifted the sheet covering the corpse, and the corpse was presented in front of everyone. "The deceased was about 20 years old, and the time of death was between eight and ten hours. Since it rained last night, affected by the rain and temperature, we have to wait for the autopsy report to determine the exact time of death. The deceased was muscular, He should take part in sports regularly. The cause of death was excessive blood loss. His entire external genitalia was removed, and blood flowed out from the wound. There were no strangle marks on his wrists and ankles, and there were tiny needle holes on his arms. The deceased had been injected with drugs before his death. The specific medicines have to wait for the autopsy report. Although it rained last night, it is certain that this is not the first scene. The deceased was put here after the blood was cleaned up and changed into clothes."

An Youlin leaned over to take a closer look at the clothes of the deceased, and then the body was carried away.Without the corpse, the onlookers lost interest and dispersed one after another.

Zhuo Qingshan noticed that since An Youlin came to the scene, Luo Gang had no contact with him, not even eye contact.When Zhuo Qingshan fell into deep suspicion, An Youlin suddenly asked her: "Has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?"

"Not yet, Song Chunming and Guo Junfeng went to investigate, and there is no news yet." An Youlin nodded, and continued to ask: "Are there any other clues at the scene? About the murderer's fingerprints?

Shoe prints?Or other traces? "Zhuo Qingshan shook her head helplessly, and also regretted it: "No, maybe the body of the deceased was still there when it was brought in, but it was raining last night, so I am afraid that the few remaining traces and clues were also washed away. "

Then An Youlin asked about other situations, so Zhuo Qingshan told An Youlin when the body was found and the way to the top of the mountain.An Youlin walked around the big cypress tree and came to the steps on the other side. The steps lead to a stone-paved path, and the end of the path at the other end is the driveway leading to the top of the mountain.

Luo Gang, who has been following not far away, received a call. "The identity of the deceased has been found out. He is a third-year student in the Physical Education Department of Normal University, named Zhao Chen."

Luo Gang didn't even look at An Youlin when he was talking.An Youlin glanced at the time, "Well, the efficiency is quite high. It took only three hours to find out the identity of the deceased, but well, the characteristics of the deceased are quite obvious."

Then An Youlin asked where Bai Fangfang who found the deceased was. Zhuo Qingshan told him that Bai Fangfang had been brought back to the bureau to assist in the investigation.

"Alright, let's go back first. I'll talk to Bai Fangfang first, and then let's learn about the identity and background of the deceased."

In the office of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, accompanied by her boyfriend, Bai Fangfang tremblingly repeated the process of discovering the deceased.Xu Qingqing, a policewoman with a kind face, was taking notes, comforting her from time to time.Bai Fangfang held her boyfriend's hand, and every time she said a few words, she would look at him pitifully.

"This girl is very interesting. When I first saw her at the scene, she was not so pretentious." You Tao walked to An Youlin's side, and the two stood outside the office door and looked in, "Don't worry, The voice almost pierced the sky, but this boyfriend changed immediately when he came."

"Have the photos of the scene been developed?" Zhuo Qingshan asked softly.You Tao nodded and said that he had sent it to the office. "Go ahead and say hello. I want to chat with Bai Fangfang." Zhuo Qingshan walked into the office. She first talked in a low voice with Xu Qingqing, who was taking notes, and then talked to Bai Fangfang and her boyfriend. sentence.Bai Fangfang and her boyfriend looked towards the office door at the same time, and then Zhuo Qingshan gestured to An Youlin.

Bai Fangfang's boyfriend is an executive of a company. He is young and promising. He is dressed in a neat suit, which is quite different from An Youlin's attire.

"Can you talk to me again about how you found the deceased?" Hearing An Youlin's question, Bai Fangfang shook her boyfriend's hand vigorously, and her boyfriend asked politely: "Can Fangfang take a rest, When a girl encounters such a thing, she is still a little scared."

An Youlin licked his lips, smiled and said to Bai Fangfang meaningfully: "Miss Bai, maybe your boyfriend likes you more when you are stronger."
