Yuan Qiu and Shen Conglan walked around Beishan, and Ke Luo also checked all the surveillance cameras, but he still couldn't find Yang Hongxiu.Yuan Qiu felt more and more that something was wrong, and planned to send more people to search the mountains, when his phone rang, and it was Wu Yan who called.

What did Wu Yan say on the other end of the phone, Yuan Qiu suddenly changed his face, and asked sharply: "Are you telling me again?!" Shen Conglan saw Yuan Qiu lose his composure for the first time, and he realized that something was wrong. Luo quickly switched Wu Yan's phone line to Shen Conglan's side, and Shen Conglan could clearly hear Wu Yan's deep and serious voice:

"Three more children's bodies were found in the cave. They have been damaged for several years. We are still digging. I predict that the number of bodies may increase."

Shen Conglan gasped, dumbfounded, almost speechless.Wu Yan only ordered Yuan Qiu to come back as soon as possible, and then hung up the phone. The other end of the phone was very noisy, and large cranes and excavators were dispatched at the same time.

Yuan Qiu sat in the driver's seat without saying a word, with a heavy expression on his face.Xiao Di had already fallen asleep in Shen Conglan's arms, tears were still hanging on her long eyelashes, and her chubby little hands kept grabbing the shirt on Shen Conglan's chest.For the first time, Shen Conglan didn't speak. At this moment, their hearts were extremely heavy.

The night gradually fell, there were no stars in the black night sky, and the dark clouds blocked the moon, everything was extremely dark.On the edge of the Yasong Waterfall, excavators widened the road non-stop, and small body bags were brought out of the cave and placed on the open space. The 43 corpses were lined up one by one, crowded in the narrow open space.

Four hours passed, and the excavation work finally came to an end. However, no one was excited or cheered. Everyone stood in place, staring at the densely packed corpses in front of them in pain.

The cold wind blew past, and deafening cries came from the cave, the voice was extremely shrill, like the heart-piercing cries of children.

In the forensic identification department of the Baichang City Bureau, several new forensic doctors stood at the door of the identification room, pushing each other and refusing to enter the door. These female college students were assigned to the police station after graduation and had never taken over any cases. , The first time they encountered a corpse in a tragic death, they all felt a little conflicted in their hearts.

The crisp sound of high-heeled shoes in the corridor came from far to near, and Lin Ling, the chief of the forensic department, walked towards here quickly. She held a mobile phone in her hand and was talking to the person on the phone. She was wearing the most popular e-sports star Zhao Xiaoshuai. The support uniforms obviously just rushed over from the e-sports competition.

"I see, from your description, the inspection technique is somewhat difficult, but I can try." Lin Ling said to Shen Conglan on the other end of the phone: "I will start the inspection right away, and I will give you an answer tomorrow morning. "

After finishing speaking, Lin Ling hung up the phone. She stared at the little girls at the entrance of the laboratory, a trace of impatience flashed across her pretty face: "What are you doing standing here? Why don't you go in?"

"Chief Lin..." One of the girls with ponytails evasively hesitated to speak, "The corpse sent for examination this time is really... I, I really—"

"What is it really? Can't take it, feel sick?" Lin Ling's face darkened. The coquettishness of these insignificant college students made people angry. They obviously studied forensic medicine, but they were all nervous when they saw the corpses. Yelling, like a delicate young lady.

"This is the police station, no one cares about your emotions." Lin Ling glared at them unceremoniously, and walked towards the locker room impatiently: "Before you entered the police station, did you expect all the victims to die? Is it quiet and peaceful?"

"Let the deceased be avenged and restore the case. This is the job of our forensic doctors. If you want to work comfortably in the police station, you should write your resignation letter as soon as possible." Lin Ling stopped talking nonsense and slammed the door of the locker room Door.The faces of the few newcomers outside the door were blue and red after being taught a lesson, and they were all ashamed.

The ponytail girl stood at the door for a while, as if she had made up her mind, and pushed open the door of the dressing room. After a while, several other female forensic doctors also pushed the door and walked in.

There was a sleepless night in the police station, and the police officers ran non-stop to confirm and search the database for the identities of more than 40 corpses dug out of the cave.Wu Yan stayed up all night, his eyes were red, and the mouse in his hand never stopped.Xu Geng and Kong Yi checked the records of missing children in Baichang City within ten years, and recorded the suspicious persons one by one.

In the captain's office, Yuan Qiu sat on a chair gloomyly. The more than 40 corpses of children dug up on Xingshan Mountain were simply appalling. Not only the mayor of Baichang City, but even the federal government personally issued an order. Yuan Qiu issued an order to quickly solve the case in the shortest possible time.

Shen Conglan lay reclined on the sofa in the office. On his mobile phone, Ke Luo called up several cameras around the Yasong Waterfall. From 11:[-] last night to the time when Zhou Xiaochao was found today, there was nothing unusual around the Yasong Waterfall.

Shen Conglan thought hard, picked up the pen on Yuan Qiu's desk, and turned it casually: "At present, there are two issues that we need to sort out."

"According to Xiao Di's confession, the four of them took the initiative to go out to explore because of Bai Hui's 'suggestion'. They originally planned to go and return, but unexpectedly encountered a wild animal that was out looking for food on the road, so they fled in all directions. They were on the way to escape We met stranger A and stranger B, stranger B took Xiao Di and Yang Hongxiu away, and stranger A went to find Zhou Xiaochao and Bai Hui."

"That's right." Yuan Qiu continued, "The first question: Is Bai Hui's death related to stranger A, or is it just an accident?"

"At the place where Bai Hui died, we found 43 corpses that were also eaten by wild animals. The second most important question is whether these 43 corpses are related to the case of Bai Hui being attacked by wild wolves. Was it a case we stumbled upon?"

If Bai Hui's death was just an accident, then he has nothing to do with the body throwing case, and Yang Hongxiu has a high probability of surviving. If the two cases were committed by the same person or the same gang, then the severity of this matter is shocking. Fingers crossed.

Yuan Qiu agreed with Shen Conglan's point of view: "At present, apart from the fact that Bai Hui's death location coincides with the 43 corpses, the two cases are not related. To determine whether the two cases are related, we must We can only wait for the results of Lin Ling's autopsy."

Shen Conglan leaned on the sofa a little tiredly. Cases involving children always made him feel deeply powerless. It was hard to imagine what kind of twisted people in the world would hurt those immature and innocent children.

At this moment, Wu Yan knocked on the door and walked in, with a hint of relief on his face: "The hospital called just now, and Zhou Xiaochao is out of danger. Although he is still in a coma, his vital signs are stable."

Yuan Qiu and Shen Conglan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Shen Conglan then asked, "Where is Yang Hongxiu?"

"The search and rescue team is conducting a blanket search of Beishan, but nothing has been found so far. About 2 hours later, Li Zidi's parents will bring him to record a statement, and we will profile the suspect based on his description."

Of the four missing children, one dead, two alive, and one still alive, the outcome was not satisfactory.Now that the whole case is complicated and confusing, the starting point of the investigation is to wait for the results of Bai Hui's autopsy.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and everyone was anxiously waiting.About an hour later, there was a knock on the door of Yuan Qiu's office, and Lin Ling pushed open the door and walked in.The all-night inspection made her very tired, and the makeup on her face was almost gone.

"A good result or a bad result?" Shen Conglan asked first, Lin Ling's complexion was very bad, and everyone present felt cold.

"I conducted an autopsy on the victim Bai Hui last night. There were multiple animal bites on his body, and the aorta in his neck also showed signs of tearing. His body was extremely damaged. During the autopsy, I found that the organs on his body All the organs have been removed, and even the eyeballs have disappeared. And the cut surfaces of these wounds are all very neat scalpel cuts, very complete."

"According to the preliminary judgment of the forensic doctor, the cause of death of the victim, Bai Hui, was the removal of organs from the whole body under anesthesia, resulting in death."

Shen Conglan and Yuan Qiu looked at each other at the same time, they both realized the seriousness of the problem.

Wu Yan hurriedly asked, "What about the remaining 43 corpses?"

Lin Ling looked solemn: "The rest of the corpses were seriously damaged. Judging from the remaining bones, some of them have even been dead for 3 to 6 years. I can only look at the well-preserved corpses and the results of the current autopsy. The cause of death is completely consistent with that of Bai Hui."

According to Lin Ling, Bai Hui and the more than 40 children all died because their organs had been removed.The place of death and the cause of death are exactly the same, and it can be completely judged now that the two cases were committed by the same person or the same gang.

Unexpectedly, a few students went out to have fun, and they would be involved in such a big case, which caught everyone by surprise.The whereabouts of the missing Yang Hongxiu is still unknown, and there are more than 40 unnamed corpses. The case is much more difficult than expected.

Xu Geng knocked on the door of Yuan Qiu's office with thick dark circles under his eyes. He and Kong Yi checked the population registration form of missing children in Baichang City all night. There were only seven, and one of them canceled the missing person registration a month after the report.

This number is too different from the 43 corpses found behind the waterfall cave. Shen Conglan thinks this is really unbelievable. The child disappeared for no reason. Could it be that the parents and relatives would not notice it?

"Could it be that these victims are not just citizens of Baichang City?" Shen Conglan asked, "Is it possible that there are also missing children from surrounding counties and cities?"

Xu Geng replied: "Kong Yi and I checked the registration reports of missing children in 13 nearby counties and towns, and there were 25 cases in total."

The numbers still don't match up. Even if all these children were arrested by members of this criminal gang, the probability is too high.

Yuan Qiu was silent at the side, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "There is also a possibility that most of the victims are orphans or children who go out to beg or wander, so even if they disappear for no reason, no one will deliberately report or specifically looking for them."

Xu Geng immediately understood: "I'll go to the shelter, orphanage and orphanage to investigate immediately."
