Chasing the Mist

All members of the first criminal investigation team squatted on the beach to pick up the body parts. After an afternoon of searching, a total of half a barrel of body parts were found.

The sea was cold in the early autumn evening, and Gu Xun unconsciously got his shoes wet. He stood up and stretched his muscles, and his eyes were on the seaside villa across the road. There are different opinions on whether the beach in Baicheng will be developed.

In the early years, real estate developers made a big publicity on the grounds that the government was planning to build a seaside park, attracting a group of investment real estate speculators. Seven or eight years later, this sea has not been developed, and the price increase is far less than that of the urban area. There are ten seaside villas and nine of them are empty. The most famous villa community is called Sea Pearl. At present, only this community has more residents. The high-end community mainly protects privacy. It is said that it is very difficult for other people except the owners to enter the community. Gu Renli bought it here. I lived in a house, but Gu Xun never came, I don't know who is taking care of it.

Zheng Tiancheng ran over and handed Gu Xun a cigarette, "Boss, the beach has almost been picked up. The ones brought ashore by the tide are all small pieces. The bones and heads are in the sea. It is very difficult to salvage. The salvage team has been busy for a long time and found nothing. The team arrived at the scene at [-]:[-] p.m., but nothing has been achieved so far.”

Gu Xun waved his hand and rejected the cigarette.

Zheng Tiancheng exclaimed: "Damn! Really quit?"

Gu Xun nodded.

Zheng Tiancheng deliberately blew smoke at him, and said with a smile: "Smell the smell of smoke, don't you want to?"

As an old smoker for more than ten years, I don't think it's fake. The moment the smell of smoke penetrated into the nasal cavity, Gu Xun had the urge to snatch the cigarette and stuff it into his mouth. Breathing the sea breeze, he said firmly: "You also smoke less, remember to throw the cigarette butts in the trash."

Zheng Tiancheng: "..."

In the distance, a criminal policeman came running panting, "Boss...the diving team has found something."

Gu Xun and Zheng Tiancheng turned around and ran towards the direction where their colleagues came. A circle of people formed a circle. They were looking at something. The diver who fished out saw Gu Xun approaching, and hurriedly said, "Captain Gu, I found black water on the bottom of the sea. Garbage bag bag with....human head and legs inside."

Gu Xun patted the other person on the shoulder, "Thank you." He squatted down while talking, and looked into the black plastic bag. The bag was more than half a meter wide, a large garbage bag, and the outermost part was four-section human legs, one point away from the knee. For the second, he put on gloves, opened his legs to reveal a small black plastic bag, untied the knot tied at the mouth of the bag, and revealed long black hair. Furious, subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Lin Yiran.

The head in the bag is Miao Mi, Zheng Yi's biological mother.

Fishing out the head is a great progress in the case, otherwise it would take a long time to identify the deceased with the body parts on the beach. The head, legs, bones, knives and the meat found on the beach were taken away by the forensic doctor together in the black bag. Take the team back to the city bureau.

On the way back to the city, Meng Jia squeezed her chin and thought for a moment, then touched Lin Yiran, "The pieces of meat found on the beach were very neat, as if they were cut out by a machine, but the lower body that was fished out of the sea was sawn off and stuffed in."

"It means that the murderer was running out of time on the night of the crime." Lin Yiran turned his head and looked out the car window. The sun was hidden in the clouds, and only a gleam of light was shining on the sea. It was not as blue as in the daytime. The sea was like the black sky before the rain, and it was terribly gloomy." An acquaintance committed the crime, the murderer was male, physically strong, with moderate obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the scene of the first crime was not far from the place where the body was dumped." He talked to Meng Jia as if talking to himself.

"Eh? How can you tell that the scene of the first crime is not far from the place where the body was dumped?" Meng Jia asked.

"The seaside is a public place. It is impossible to determine the flow of people. If you want to avoid being seen, the safest way is to dispose of the body before dawn. For patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is uncomfortable to dissect half of the body. What can make him endure the discomfort and forcefully stop the dissection ?”

"Time is so tight that there is a risk of being discovered if he does not throw the body, so he will not waste time on the road, and he should consider this before killing people." Meng Jia said.

Zheng Tiancheng turned back from the co-pilot position, "What are you two whispering again? Lin Yiran, if you get so close to my baby again, I'm going to be jealous."

Gu Xun glanced at Zheng Tiancheng, then at Meng Jia, "Baby? You're so tired."

Meng Jia blushed, and said angrily: "Zheng Tiancheng, we are talking about the case, are you bothered?"

Often scolded by Meng Jia, Zheng Tiancheng's face is as thick as a city wall. No matter what Meng Jia scolds, he just smiles or apologizes. He never gets angry with Meng Jia, but he still has revenge for Gu Xun, "love They are all called nicknames, such as baby, baby, dear, baby... can enhance the relationship, a bachelor like you doesn't understand."

Gu Xun: "..."

It's right to think about it, he and Lin Yiran occasionally call baby, especially last night in the tent, I don't know how many times they called, recalling the joy of last night, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Lin Yiran.

Lin Yiran looked out the car window, didn't look at him, didn't participate in their topic, he didn't know what to think about with a cold face, as if he was back in the state when he first came to the team on New Year's Day, with a sense of indifference and alienation in his eyes, living in his own The world automatically distances itself from its surroundings.

Maybe he didn't want to see Lin Yiran in the past, Gu Xun was annoyed for no reason, stretched out his long arm, passed Meng Jia, grabbed the hair on the back of Lin Yi's head, and forced him to turn to himself, "What are you thinking? Did you find something at the scene?"

Meng Jia quickly repeated what Lin Yiran said just now

Lin Yiran broke away from Gu Xun's hand that was grabbing his hair, his face was still cold and he didn't speak.

Gu Xun hesitated to speak, and turned his gaze to Meng Jia, "Let's change places."

Meng Jia stood up swiftly, and gave up the middle seat to Gu Xun. He leaned over, put his arm against Lin Yiran's throat and leaned back, whispering, "What's the matter with you?"

Sword eyebrows and star eyes are close at hand, and Gu Xun's lips can be touched by slightly moving forward. Lin Yiran rolled his Adam's apple and looked out the window, "It's nothing, I was thinking about something."

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Xun leaned closer again, his noses almost touching each other.

Lin Yiran pushed him, "It's all right, I'm thinking about the case."

Gu Xun's heart fell to the ground, but his body did not leave, but leaned against him, sucking his lips.

The driving detective and Zheng Tiancheng had a lively chat, but they didn't know what happened in the back seat. Meng Jia, a melon eater, saw this scene and hurriedly turned his head to avoid it.

It is inappropriate to do intimate actions in front of colleagues, Lin Yiran pushes Gu Xun hard, the more he pushes Gu Xun, the harder the kiss becomes, the soft touch that was originally comforting, turned into an intense and passionate kiss by the two of them .

Lin Yiran was disturbed by the kiss, and instinctively wanted to hug Gu Xun to respond, but was also worried that Zheng Tiancheng would see him when he looked back, his heart was beating like a drum, he was more nervous than usual, and when his reason was about to be overwhelmed, Zheng Tiancheng's magical laughter brought him to reality , Biting Gu Xun's lower lip with canine teeth.

Gu Xun groaned in pain, let go of his lips, touched the bitten lower lip, tilted his head and whispered into Lin Yiran's ear, "Don't worry about my family, I'll figure out a way." He sat upright, Then he said to Meng Jia as if nothing had happened, "Have you contacted Miao Mi's family?"

Lin Yiran: "..."

Meng Jia turned around, "I've contacted her, her son is rushing to the city bureau, and her husband Wan Tian has an important meeting and can't make it."

"What meeting is more important than the death of my wife?" Zheng Tiancheng turned around and asked.

Meng Jia: "That kind of business boss may have an important meeting than the death of his wife, who knows."

Zheng Tiancheng: "..."

The car stopped at the parking lot of the Municipal Bureau, and everyone got out of the car and walked to the office building, "Meng Jia wait a minute." Gu Xun called her to stop.

Meng Jia stopped, waited for Gu Xun to come, and spoke first: "Boss, I'm blind."

Gu Xun smiled, "Just now I was impulsive, and I made you feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, sorry."

"It's okay. When I was in school, there were often couples in the class, kissing passionately, even on the bus."

The two walked forward while chatting, and within a few steps, a black Mercedes drove into the parking lot, and got out of the car, an old man and a young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, Gu Xun recognized that it was Miao Mi's son Wan Yiqing.

Entering the office building of the police station, Meng Jia led Wan Yiqing and Miao Mi's father to sit in the conference room, and took out a photo of Miao Mi's face for the two to confirm.

Seeing her daughter's swollen face from the blisters at the police station, Miao Mi's father vaguely guessed what happened, sobbing, "Mimi...what's wrong?"

"We found your daughter's body by the sea...sorry."

With tears in his eyes, the old man grabbed Meng Jia's wrist, "Where is the body? I want to see it myself."

"Wait a minute, the forensic doctor is doing a comparison. I'll take you there after it's over. The corpse is seriously damaged. The family members should be mentally prepared."

"What do you mean by serious damage?" Wan Yiqing was much calmer than Grandpa.

Meng Jia first called the forensic doctor to confirm that the body on the beach belonged to Miao Mi, and then replied, "Your mother was... dismembered. Now I will take you there to identify the body."

Miao Mi’s mutilated body was covered with a white cloth in the forensic room, and the head was left for family members to identify. In case Qing helped Grandpa to the body, Miao’s father took advantage of the surrounding police not paying attention, and suddenly lifted the white cloth, and saw the flesh below the neck. Immediately passed out, Meng Jia hurried to find someone to take the old man to the hospital.

In case of a tumbling stomach, covered his mouth and ran to the bathroom to vomit, Lin Yiran was waiting at the door when he came out, did not speak, and handed over a bottle of mineral water.

In case the clear and bright eyes were stained blood red, "Thank you." He took the water and rinsed his mouth, "I remember you, last time you visited my house, my mother...what's wrong?"

"The last time we went for another case, whether it has something to do with her murder is not sure now."

"Your grandfather couldn't bear the blow and went to the hospital. Your father is busy. Now you are the only one who can provide clues. I hope you...be stronger."

Wan Wanqing took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions, "What do you want to know?"

"One more colleague is needed, let's go to the conference room to chat." Lin Yiran pushed open the door of the conference room, and Meng Jia was already sitting inside waiting.

Lin Yiran: "When was the last time you saw Miao Mi?"

Wan Yiqing: "At 6 o'clock last night, she picked me up at the gate of the school. When I arrived at the gate of the community, she said she was going to have dinner with Aunt Nan and told me to go home first."

"Didn't go home all night and didn't call her?"

"I called, but her phone was turned off, and Aunt Nan couldn't get through. I thought they had something to do, so I didn't call again."

"What time did you call?"

"Around eight o'clock in the evening."

"Who is Aunt Nan?"

"My mother's best friend is called Qin Nan."

"Can you tell us her contact information?"

"150xxxx5709"

"Your mother often stays out at night?"

"She's busy with work, sometimes."

"What car did she drive that day? Do you remember the license plate?"

"Audi Q5, Cypress B008712."

"How's your relationship with your parents?"

"I don't know, my dad doesn't come back often."

"Has your mother behaved abnormally or been in contact with any strange people recently?"

"No."

"Have any men who smelled of alcohol and had broken fingers visited your house?"

"No."

"..."

Wan Wanqing didn't know much about his mother's life, and the conversation didn't take long.

At the case analysis meeting in the evening, everyone was extremely silent. The body was dumped in the sea, and after being washed by sea water, there were no traces.

Except for a seaside villa with a very low occupancy rate, the surrounding area is very desolate, and there is no chance to visit the nearby people.

The corpse was dismembered and cut into pieces, which brought great difficulties to the autopsy work. Forensic doctor: "At present, the head and lower limbs of the deceased are intact, and the ribs and spine on both sides are also in the body bag. The internal organs and the cut meat Blocks are expected to be swept away by the waves."

The forensic doctor changed the photo, and the two knives were placed at the bottom of the black bag, which was very conspicuous. "The two knives were pressed on the bottom of the bag, and there was a little blood on it. It was verified that it was the victim's blood. Except no other fingerprints were found. This long knife is It was used for deboning and cutting meat, this knife is a planer, the murderer has certain medical knowledge, the body was seriously damaged, the cause of death is currently unclear, the time of death did not exceed 24 hours, preliminary autopsy, so far, only these.”

Meng Jia took the laptop, and continued: "The deceased, Miao Mi, female, from this city, 41 years old, the owner of Mitian's private kitchen restaurant, according to her son, at 9:6 p.m. After school, I went to the gate of the community at home and said that I would have dinner with my best friend Qin Nan. After checking Miao Mi's call records, the last call was at 06:30, and the contact person was Qin Nan. Call her at [-] o'clock in case , the mobile phone is turned off, and it has not been turned on yet.

Qin Nan's mobile phone is currently turned off, and has not been contacted yet. "

Gu Xun: "Others, what do you want to say?"

Zheng Tiancheng: "The cut piece of meat is about three centimeters in size. The murderer's modus operandi is very cruel. I suspect it was a vendetta or a love murder. The possibility of acquaintances committing the crime is higher."

Gu Xun nodded: "According to the current situation, first: find Qin Nan as soon as possible, the two lost contact together, I am worried that she is in danger.

Second: Follow up the pursuit of Miao Mi's Audi on the night of September 9th.

Third: Visit relatives and friends around Miao Mi to see if there are any clues.

let us go. "

At this moment, Lin Yiran suddenly said, "Wait, there is one more person to investigate."

Gu Xun turned to look at him, "Who?"
