Baxian Hotel

Initially, I wasn't in the mood to look at the ninth corpse, so I wanted to directly return to Baxian Hotel to wait for the results to see what these nine corpses could analyse. But Captain Zhao's tone was a bit weird, even Mao Babao was a bit hesitant, and helplessly followed Captain Zhao's police car back to the Criminal Police squad.

The medical examiner's center was already filled to the brim. There were nine corpse beds and nine corpses. To be more accurate, there were three piles of flesh and three piles of blood. There were three pieces of skin and no skin. The first six killings were still rather regular, three females and three males. The latter three killers discovered a female and a male, and the last corpse bed was the corpse that Captain Zhao wanted me to look at.

I walked around the bed and examined the body, which had been stripped of its skin and showed red muscle. Even a layman like me could tell that the person who did this was proficient with a knife. Aside from the time I made the cut, there wasn't a single additional cut on the muscle. The muscle and skin were almost perfectly separated. Even so, the corpse still had a thick wound on its neck. However, the wound was hastily stitched up by the medical examiner. Moreover, the two ends of the neck didn't seem to be of the same thickness.

I pointed to the wound and asked Captain Zhao, "You're letting me see this?"

Captain Zhao shook his head. "This is one of them. When we found the body at the scene, the head and body were separated." When he came back, the medical examiner wanted to do a simple suture and discovered that this and the corpse were not the same person. "

"Is there a tenth victim?" I'm a little surprised

"No, the head belonged to the number seven victim, the woman who found the pile of dead bodies at the hotpot store."

"Wait a moment. Find someone to help me with it first." I nodded when I heard this.

Captain Zhao waved his hand and one of the policemen took out a book and recited, "The current situation is that number one is a female, who disappeared for several months before she died. The cause of death was unknown. After death, the body would be dismembered, the skull would be missing, and the identity would be determined based on DNA testing and identification documents. The cause of death was a loss of blood throughout the body. Death number three, female, died after being skinned and bleeding to death. "

I nodded. "This is the first round, the furthest from the center."

The detective went on to say, "Death number four, male, disappeared for several months before his death, died of having been skinned and bled to death. Death # 5, male, cause of death was a loss of blood throughout the body. The cause of death is unknown. After death, the body was dismembered and the head was missing. "

I drew a circle on the map. "Okay, the second round. Continue."

"The number seven victim, a female, was killed by a sharp knife and her body pieces were distributed among three sites. Death # 8, male, cause of death was a loss of blood throughout the body. Deaths # 9, female, disappeared for several months before death. The cause of death was excessive loss of blood after being skinned, and the head was missing. "

When I finished listening, I raised my head and looked at Captain Zhao, "What's so special about this number nine? You must definitely come back to take a look? "

Captain Zhao pointed at the medical examiner with a weird expression. The medical examiner coughed and pointed to the crotch of number nine.

I scratched my head, "What am I doing at a girl's place?" A corpse!

"I'll show you then." Captain Zhao pushed me to the corpse bed.

I followed the medical examiner's finger for a good while. I realised that there was something different, but I couldn't say anything. I looked at the medical examiner in confusion. "What do you mean?"

The medical examiner pointed to several places. "There are surgical traces here, and we've got the relevant medical records based on this. This is a transgender person."

"Ah?" It used to be a man, but now it's a woman? " I've heard of many transgender people, and this is really the first time I've met them.

The medical examiner nodded, took out a few forms, and handed them to me. Gender cognitive impairment was diagnosed at 14 years of age and gender conversion surgery was performed at 18 years of age. This year, he is only 24 years old. "

I looked at it for a while, then suddenly slapped my thigh and turned to look at Mao Babao," Mr Mao, what's the situation? The first round was full of women. I could understand that it was meant to prolong a woman's life. The second round was full of men, and I could understand that a man had to be kept alive. "This third round can include both males and females, and yet another half male half female …

Mao Babao's face was ashen as he sat to the side without uttering a single word. After being silent for a long time, he finally said, "I can't solve this matter. Furthermore, there are no days that are suitable for this evil art, the Triple Murder Life Exchange ~ ~ ~ It seems like the Fourth Boss has to go and invite that old man, I think only he will know. "

Baxian Hotel, eighth floor, Mr Chen and I sat facing each other.

Mr Chen waved his fan while smiling at me, "Fourth Boss won't come up easily. Looks like you have something you need me for?"

My face flushed red, "Yes, I usually don't dare to trouble you, but there's something I really have to deal with. I've come to find you for help."

Mr Chen was still smiling merrily. "Fourth Boss is too polite, I'll just help if I can."

I took out a book and map, and told the Mr Chen in detail about the nine murders, their locations, process, and circumstances of the dead. The more Mr Chen heard about it, the more his eyebrows creased. By the time I finished speaking, his eyebrows were already scrunching together.

Trembling slightly, I asked him "Mr Chen, look at this ~ ~ ~"

Mr Chen waved his hand: "This matter can be resolved, but there is a condition."

My heart chilled as I gritted my teeth and said, "Please say it ~ ~ ~"

Mr Chen looked at me and laughed, "I just want to eat a few dishes. Just ask Brother Tao to cook one serving for me and have a drink with me."

I couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, "This matter is easy to handle. You can just state the name of the dishes on the menu, I promise that I will do it."

Mr Chen took a pen and paper and wrote for a while before he finally wrote a full sheet of paper and gave it to me. When I took it and read it, I was a little stunned, 4 for me to eat, 5 for Red Braised Meat, 5 for Roasted Chicken, 2 for Scallion Oil Carp, and 20 for Steamed Crabs … It was a common dish, but the quantity was really special. Even including the cook Brother Tao, there were only two people there, but the quantity seemed to be more than enough for the entire Baxian Hotel to eat for a week.

"Fourth Boss?" Mr Chen stared at me blankly.

I quickly sent a smiley face, "Oh, oh, no problem! "Just you wait, I'll arrange it for you tomorrow night at the latest."

To be honest, these dishes weren't anything rare, but they were really big. I drove around in the car and bought four bottles of good wine, spending around 3,000 yuan. But it did not hurt too much. Inviting the Mr Chen to come out was not a small price to pay.

I went out to buy vegetables. Brother Tao was busy in the kitchen, and by the time dinner was served on the second day, they had really prepared everything for Mr Chen. The big round table that they normally eat at was already filled to the brim. Mr Chen took the four bottles of wine from my hands with a smile, then waved his hand towards Hamborg, who was watching the show, and me, "You two can leave now."

Fine, I've been busy for two days. When it's time to get on the table and get kicked out, this boss really doesn't have any face left. With a resentful face, I followed Hamborg, who was laughing secretly, to Brother Tao's kitchen to steal some peanuts to eat.

They started eating at seven in the evening and only after ten o'clock did the restaurant's door open. Mr Chen's face was completely red as he burped and came out. I hastily went forward to support my arm, "Mr Chen, have you finished eating?" As I said that, I looked into the house. Man, there was not even a whole table of food left! All twenty-odd plates had been thrown to the side with four bottles of wine left on the floor. Apparently, not even a single drop was left.

Mr Chen patted his stomach, "Not bad, not bad ~ ~ Fourth Boss, I'll go upstairs first, you can look for me upstairs later."

"Come on ~ I'll help you up?" I hurriedly accompany the smiling face

"There's no need, there's no need. I will be there in two hours!" Mr Chen waved his hand and went upstairs shakily by himself.

I went back to the dining room to see the Brother Tao. He was lying down on two chairs, sound asleep. It was hard on him. After working all day, he still had to accompany him to eat and drink at night. Sigh. I shook my head, draped the Brother Tao's jacket over him and went to the door to hide in order to smoke.

After hearing the big bell chime for another twelve times, I figured it would be time for the second hour. I straightened my clothes, walked up the eighth floor, and went to find Mr Chen.

When he pushed the door open, Mr Chen's expression was already calm as usual. He held a teacup and waved it while sipping tea, and two more people sat in front of him: Mao Babao and Miss Kong in red dress.

Seeing me enter, the Mr Chen smiled slightly, "Everyone is here, we can begin."
