Hunt down

Song Nai and his party are gradually leaving Qichuan City. The thirty double-decker buses have attracted the attention of many passing vehicles and pedestrians. The children on the bus are all curiously looking at the world that they have been away from for a long time.

They don't know where they are going to be taken, but they know that it will not be a bad place, because in their cognition, even though many children don't know what they are going through, they know in their hearts It is a place that makes them repulsed.

Now that I have left there, I still go with the police uncles and aunts. They feel very at ease. There is a kind of imprisoned in the cage for several years, living a life without knowing what tomorrow will be like, but suddenly released, from the cage. Flying out, even though I haven't soared in the sky yet, I know that at least there are no bars around me anymore.

Jiang Jiale sat with Song Nai in the first bus leading the way, and he sat next to Song Nai, which made him feel at ease.

Song Nai told him to take a good rest, and soon he could go to a new place and start a new life, so he could worry less.

But Jiang Jiale still couldn't sleep, his heart was full of uncontrollable excitement and gratitude. He had already said thank you to Song Nai and Zhou Jiming, but he still felt that it was not enough. He knew that this kindness would never be repaid in his lifetime, and he didn't know how to repay it. , What can I pay back, he is so worried and entangled, even if he closes his eyes, he can't fall asleep.

He felt that Song Nai was a busy person, and he hadn't rested since he got in the car. He kept frowning and contacted someone, as if something was not going well.Occasionally glancing over, he could see Song Nai typing a long text on his phone, and then sending a message to someone.

Why didn't he call?

Could it be something related to us, and it is inconvenient for him to say it here?

Jiang Jiale was puzzled, he felt that he was causing trouble to others.

"Police...Uncle, I...we, will I...will cause you big trouble?" Jiang Jiale asked cautiously.

Song Nai looked down at the phone, didn't realize what Jiang Jiale was talking about, and responded subconsciously, "Yes."

Jiang Jiale closed his slightly opened mouth, thinking that he should grow up faster and just rely on himself.

"Huh?" Song Nai raised his head. He blinked his eyes to realize what Jiang Jiale had asked just now, turned his head to look at Jiang Jiale, locked the screen of the phone and put it in his pocket, "Are you troublesome?"

"Yeah." Jiang Jiale tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"How could it be?" Song Nai said with a reasonable tone, "This is my duty."

"I...I thought..."

"There is still more light in this world. As long as you believe in it and work hard for it, you will always be able to get out of the darkness." Song Nai's tone was as soft as the warm sun shrouded in the quilt in early autumn, but Jiang Jiale felt that Song Nai's eyes were as cold as ice when he said these words.

He didn't know if it was his own illusion. He himself didn't really believe the words of the police uncle in front of him to comfort him.

"Also." Song Nai continued, "I'm not a policeman, just call me Song Nai."

Jiang Jiale wanted to ask something else, but Song Nai didn't know whether it was because he was tired or he didn't want to talk about this topic with Jiang Jiale, so he leaned on the backrest and closed his eyes.

"Sleep for a while, I will call you when we arrive." Song Nai said softly, as if falling asleep, there was no further movement.

----

In the woods, two groups of people chased those who could escape, while Zhou Jiming and the rest stayed in the wooden house to investigate.

The police dog circled around the wooden table non-stop, sniffing the smell, and grinning its teeth in vigilance.

Zhou Jiming squatted down to observe the soil on the ground. He took a wooden stick from not far away, pointed at the ground under the wooden table, and easily entered it.

too loose...

Zhou Jiming took out a wooden stick and pestered the ground in a corner of the room, which was obviously much more difficult, which meant that the ground under the wooden table had been turned over.

He called someone to lift all the stools and wooden tables out, and asked two police officers to pick up two big shovels standing in the corner of the room and start digging on the spot. The deeper the soil was dug, the more restless the police dogs became. , Zhou Jiming frowned and stared at the gradually sinking ground, for fear of missing any details.

Just as the police officers were digging the ground, there was a rush of running sounds outside the house, and a "deputy team" came, and then the police officer entered the house, "Deputy team, five killed wolf dogs were found in the woods, and the blood was still there." Liu, it seems that he didn't die for long."

Zhou Jiming thought that the wolfdogs who were being led to patrol outside the orphanage at night might have been taken from here. The people who led them may or may not be the owners of the wooden house.Those people probably ran away long ago when they heard the news. The matter was revealed, so they killed the wolf dogs. The dogs can't talk, so what is the reason for killing them.

The police dog began to show an aggressive posture towards the excavated ground, saliva flowed from the gaps between the teeth, and the tight upper jaw was almost squeezed together with the eyes.

By the way, dogs can't speak, but they have memory and sense of smell. Shepherd dogs are killed because they know where the bones are buried. If they are kept, many secrets buried underground may be exposed inadvertently.

Smart enough and stupid enough.

Where in the world can they smell it with their dogs?

"Continue to search." Zhou Jiming said to the police officer who ran back.

"Yes."

At this time, a hole about half a meter deep was dug. Except for some crawling insects, no suspicious signs were seen.

"Substitute and continue digging," Zhou Jiming said.

After digging for another half an hour, the shovel touched a hard object, not so much a hard object, but rather like a piece of dried bacon, it was hard when touched lightly, and the object could be pierced again with more force .Along with the appearance of hard objects, a stench gradually emitted from the pit, and flies that came from nowhere began to gather in the pit.

"Deputy team!" The digging police officer was a little excited.

Zhou Jiming squatted by the pit. He watched the police officer gently scrape away the soil on the object he touched. The surrounding police officers also surrounded him. The yellow-brown soil was slowly cleaned up. It was a small pale hand. , maggots are crawling on it, and it has begun to rot.

The policeman continued to scrape the soil along the direction of the wrist.

Zhou Jiming wiped his face and let out a long sigh of relief, "Everyone, look around to see if there is anything that can be used to dig the ground, bring them here, and dig together."

They moved very quickly. Some directly picked up the knives in the house, left a large branch in the forest, cut it three times and two times to make a "wooden shovel" with a cut surface, and started digging from the edge of the pit to expand. range of pits.

The owner of that little hand was completely dug out. He looked like a little boy who was only five or six years old. The police officer who dug him up couldn't bear to look at him. He carried him out and laid him flat at the door for him. Cover with a white cloth.

The excavation work is still going on, and corpses are constantly being dug out. The degree of decay is getting worse one by one. Judging from the size, most of them are underage children, and no adult corpses have been found yet.

"Damn it!" A police officer buried his head in digging the ground with a "wooden shovel" and cursed, "How much is buried!"

No one answered him, the room was filled with the sound of force, I don't know if they can dig out these buried children within today, I don't know if there is enough space for them outside the house.

Damn, there are not enough people!

Zhou Jiming called the Qichuan City Public Security Bureau, told them that they had found the corpse pit, and asked them to send someone to help.I thought I would deal with Zhao Chaoyao for a while, but I didn't expect to be contacted by the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team of Qichuan City Public Security Bureau. He heard the voice of an elderly middle-aged man. He didn't say anything after receiving the case and asked about it. The specific address hung up the phone.

About half an hour or so, sirens sounded one after another in the forest. They took a shortcut and drove the car from the side of the mountain. However, because there was no specially repaired road in this forest, the police cars could not drive in.

At this time, 11 rotten corpses and 17 white bones have been dug out. The bones are incomplete, but according to the number of bones in the right hand, it is judged to be 17 people. I had to stay in place for a long time, unable to walk.

Zhou Jiming was covered in mud all over his body at the moment. He looked at Qi Chuan who came to support him, but he didn't see Zhao Chaoyao, so he knew that this matter was either out of his hands, or he didn't know it at all.

The leading policeman was wearing a uniform with a rather haggard face. He walked towards Zhou Jiming and stretched out his hand, "Xu Huansheng, deputy team member of the criminal investigation team of Qichuan City."

Zhou Jiming rubbed his hand on the seam of his trousers before reaching out, "Deputy Team of Li City Criminal Investigation Team, Zhou Jiming."

"Deputy Zhou, this is all..." Xu Huansheng couldn't believe his eyes, and he couldn't believe that so many murders happened right under his nose, and they were killed by a man from a foreign city. He felt derelict and ashamed when the criminal investigation team found out.

"I'll talk about the specific situation later. The first task is to dig out all the bones. I don't know how many are left below." Zhou Jiming pointed to the room.

As soon as the words fell, gunshots rang out in the woods, and everyone touched their guns vigilantly.

"There are people fleeing in the woods. Our people are chasing them. They should have encountered them head-on."

"Lu Yan!" Xu Huansheng called out behind him.

"Yes! Master!" A young man who looked a bit dazed came out from a group of plainclothes, "You bring a team to support."

"Yes!"

"remaining people!"

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.

"Let's dig into the house together!" Xu Huansheng looked to be close to fifty, with deep wrinkles around his eyes and little visible hair, and he looked very tired. He said to Zhou Jiming, "Let your people rest first. , we just came here and have plenty of strength."

Zhou Jiming nodded, "I'm sorry."

Hearing these three words, Xu Huansheng hesitated to speak, and swallowed everything he wanted to say, leaving a lonely back.

I'm sorry... Xu Huansheng sounded full of sarcasm.

"Deputy team!"

The police officer who came to report the discovery of the dead wolf dog came to report again. He was sweating profusely, and he was almost out of breath. "In the woods... in the woods... there is another discovery!"
