Chasing the Mist

Baishi Mountain is more than an hour's drive from the city. The road is far away, the mountain road is rugged, and the surrounding area is deserted. In the early years, a village called Baishi Village lived in the mountain. Later, due to inconvenient transportation, people in the village moved out one after another, and the village was empty. Hidden in the mountains The deserted village in this deserted village is accompanied by various supernatural stories, which spread in the world, attracting people to explore here, and bringing a wave of people to the deserted village that no one cares about.

After getting off the expressway, the car turns into the village road. The closer you get to Baishi Mountain, the more difficult the road is. There is a winding mountain road, which is a test of driving skills.

Gu Xun was distracted by looking at the lush vegetation outside the car window. In order to separate himself from Wu Shanshan, he had thought of many ways, but he didn't expect to say goodbye in this way. The goodbye in front of the KTV door turned out to be a farewell. Things are impermanent.

The car stopped halfway up the mountain. There was a small road in front of one person, and the car could not pass. A group of people got out of the car and walked. After 10 minutes, they arrived at Baishi Village. There were more than [-] old houses standing in a row, in disrepair, and the doors and windows were seriously damaged. Weeds everywhere, through the narrow and winding path, to the scene of the crime.

There is a spacious two-bedroom house in the west of the village. There are two rooms on the left and right. Three mattresses are spread on the floor. In the room on the left, there is a bed against the wall.

The moment Gu Xun squatted down and lifted the quilt, he gasped.

The eyes of the corpse were gouged out, the nose and ears were missing, and the face was bloody. Wu Shanshan's face could not be seen at all.

Gu Xun exited the room and walked to the side of the other five people.

Zheng Yuan put her arms around her knees, trembling all over, Yuan He stood smoking a cigarette, seeing Gu Xun coming over, her heart fell, "Xun'er, you're here, what's going on?"

Gu Xun patted him on the shoulder, "It's hard to say now, you should calm down first, and tell me what happened after this."

Yuan He took out the cigarette case, which was empty, threw it out in a ball, and reached out to Gu Xun, "Give me a cigarette."

Gu Xun gave him a cigarette, and lighted one by himself. Relatively silently, he smoked half a cigarette silently. Yuan He adjusted his mood and recalled what happened yesterday.

Seventh Middle School is a semi-boarding school. Wu Shanshan, Zheng Yuan, and Li Meng lived in the same dormitory back then and had a close relationship.

Li Meng and his wife initiated this expedition. Yuan He was pursuing Zheng Yuan. The two were in an ambiguous period, so they followed. Wu Shanshan brought her new boyfriend Meng Fan. At 4 pm on April 27, the six of them drove a commercial vehicle to Baishi Mountain.

The car stopped halfway up the mountain, and the six people took sleeping bags, cameras and other items to the village, found a relatively intact house and settled down, and then started an adventure trip, first went to the famous haunted house on the Internet to visit and take pictures, and then toured around the village. When the mountain fell, the six people were divided into three groups, and they did their own activities.

Wu Shanshan accidentally found a clear spring in the mountains. The natural spring water is cool and thorough, with a slightly sweet taste, and the water quality is better than pure water in barrels. On a whim, she poured out the barreled water, filled a barrel of spring water with an empty bottle, and brought it back Give everyone a drink.

At 6:8 p.m., the six people regrouped for an outdoor barbecue. It was almost 9:11 p.m., they turned on the flashlight and went to the haunted house to look around, took videos and photos, and returned to the room at nearly [-]:[-] p.m. to play games. Men and women each sleep in a room.

Yuan He had no dreams all night, and when he woke up at 6:[-] the next morning to go to the bathroom, he caught a glimpse of Wu Shanshan sleeping on his side facing the wall, with faint bloodstains on the thin quilt around his waist, and he yelled "Shanshan" worriedly.

Wu Shanshan didn't respond.

Instead, Zheng Yuan was woken up, "What are you calling early in the morning?"

"Yuanyuan, do you see blood on Shanshan's waist?"

"Why is there blood? Don't be surprised." Zheng Yuan narrowed her eyes and said impatiently.

Yuan He was worried, and called out "Shanshan."

Still no response.

Zheng Yuan was annoyed by his noise, she sat up and rubbed her eyes, stepped forward and pushed, and made a long ending: "Shan, Shan"

Wu Shanshan still didn't respond.

Li Meng opened her eyes, "What are you two arguing about? What's wrong with Shanshan?"

Li Meng was woken up, but Wu Shanshan didn't respond at all. Zheng Yuan and Yuan He looked at each other and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Zheng Yuan crawled over, "Shanshan?" She pressed her shoulder as she spoke, turning her around.

The moment Wu Shanshan lay flat, Zheng Yuan couldn't help holding her breath, her eyes widened, she was so frightened that she couldn't help screaming.

When everyone heard the sound, they all came together and saw that Wu Shanshan froze in such a miserable state. Yuan He often stayed with Gu Xun to listen to the investigation, and hurriedly stopped everyone from approaching, and immediately protected the scene.

A long section of soot fell into the skirt of his clothes and burned a small hole. Yuan He walked out of his memories and brushed off the soot, "Xun'er, this is a dream, right?"

Gu Xun sighed, and handed him another cigarette, "Did you hear anything last night?"

Yuan He frowned slightly, "It's strange to say that I usually suffer from insomnia, but last night I woke up until dawn, slept soundly, and didn't hear anything."

"Did you smell anything before going to bed?"

"No."

"Have you eaten anything other than barbecue?"

"I drank a glass of water after dinner, Zheng Yuan and the others ate some fruit, and the others didn't pay attention."

"Who prepared the barbecue ingredients? Who baked it?"

"It's Li Meng and his wife... What are you asking these for?"

Gu Xun didn't answer, and asked again: "I remember when I was in college, Li Meng didn't have much contact with Wu Shanshan. Why did she suddenly get better these few years?"

Yuan He thought for a while, "There is such a thing. At that time, the three of them seemed to be having conflicts because of something. Later, the misunderstanding was resolved and they got back together. Women like to care about every detail. Today is a day and night. I don't know what's going on."

Zheng Yuan looked up suddenly as if thinking of something, her eyes were lifeless and lifeless, she stared at Yuan He, "Could it be Die Xian?"

Gu Xun: "What dish fairy?"

Yuan He: "Just psychic games, let's play for a while after dinner."

Zheng Yuan was overly frightened and started talking nonsense: "Die Xian didn't leave... Die Xian killed Shanshan... She came to claim her life."

"Who is she?" Gu Xun asked.

Zheng Yuan curled up and hid in a corner, shivering, refusing to speak any more.

Yuan He hugged her into his arms, "Yuanyuan was frightened, please ask tomorrow."

Gu Xun nodded, "Take her to the hospital first."

Li Meng was sobbing softly in her husband's arms, and she was in a better state than Zheng Yuan.

Gu Xun went over, "Who is she that Zheng Yuan is talking about?"

Li Meng wiped away tears, looked at Gu Xun for two seconds, and quickly avoided, "I don't know."

"Where's the leftover barbecue from last night?"

Li Meng pointed out the window, "In the yard."

On the barbecue grill, the charcoal has been burnt out, a few bunches of vegetables are lying on it alone, there is uncooked food on the table next to it, and a bucket of water is placed on the corner of the table, Gu Xun pointed to the things on the table, "Take them all back for testing."

Lin Yiran stretched out half of his body, "Captain Gu."

Gu Xun turned around and followed his back into the scene of the crime.

Lin Yiran squatted down, pointed to the wall next to the corpse, "Look here."

Gu Xun leaned over and saw a faint imprint on the wall - Jack.

"It looks like it was scratched by a branch." Lin Yiran turned the deceased to the left with gloves on, revealing the inverted triangular organ, and opened the incision on the surface of the organ, "Look at this again."

The lost organs of Wu Shanshan's eyes, nose, and ears appeared in it, Gu Xun frowned, "Why is it in the womb, what does he want to express?"

Lin Yiran thought for a few seconds, "He hates the person who brought him into the world, he hates women|pregnancy|fertility, he doesn't want to see women's faces, he has a broken family, his mother is irresponsible, or he is an orphan. Think about that."

"Wu Shanshan has no children, why did you choose her?" Gu Xun squeezed his chin, then glanced at the intestines thrown out of his body, "This modus operandi looks like"

"Jack the Ripper." Lin Yiran said first.

开膛手杰克是1888年8月7日到11月9日间，于伦敦东区的白教堂一带以残忍手法连续杀害至少五名妓女的凶手代称，至今未能落入法网。

Gu Xun nodded, "Jack wrote provocative letters to the police many times back then, but now it is unrealistic to write to the police station, so he left his name. He is an admirer of Jack."

"Well, Jack killed five women that year, his target number should be five, and Wu Shanshan is just the beginning."

Hearing that Zheng Tiancheng moved his head closer, his lips were pursed into a straight line, "Another serial murder case? No way? Let people take a breather? Talk about a relationship?"

Gu Xun slapped him, "Let's talk about it in a dream, hurry up and look around, if there are any suspicious footprints, car marks or people."

"Sure enough, I've been single for a long time, and I tend to get irritable," Zheng Tiancheng slipped away immediately after speaking.

Gu Xun turned to look at Lin Yiran again, with a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, "As far as the situation at the scene is concerned, let me make a portrait of the suspect."

Lin Yiran surprisingly ignored his attitude, stared at Wu Shanshan's body for a long time, and said slowly: "He is cruel by nature, likes bloody movies or books, advocates crime, has a distorted consciousness, was once abandoned by his mother, and is irritable and emotional. , Did any of them quarrel with Wu Shanshan on the night of the incident?"

Gu Xun glanced at the few people in the corner of the yard, his eyes were filled with pity, and his voice subconsciously softened, "They were all terrified, go back and ask slowly."

"It's normal for Gu Dui to be sad when his first love encounters such a thing."

Gu Xun: "..."

Looking up again, Lin Yiran has already walked out of the room.

When he was about to chase him out, Zheng Tiancheng hurried in, "Boss has found out."
