How terrible can grief be?

"Captain Li, what do you mean?"

Seeing that everyone in the conference room was gone in a blink of an eye, the female police officer was not angry and stared at Li Hu expressionlessly, "I know you are senior and have the same level as me, but I am just discussing the matter.

To tell you the truth, this is no ordinary case!

If the provincial bureau hadn't called me and insisted on cooperating with you, you probably wouldn't have been able to get involved in this case! "

"Hey, is it possible that this case is not a criminal case?"

Li Hu grinned half-smilingly and lit a cigarette, "Then I'd like to ask Officer Yan Xia, what's so special about this case?"

"I won't talk to you! Didn't you read the autopsy report that was just sent? Don't you think it's weird?"

"It's not weird."

Li Hu took a deep puff of the cigarette, holding his head with his eyes dazed for a while, and smoke that turned from green to white slowly blew out from his nostrils. It’s just transparent!”

"This is not a matter of tactics!"

The female police officer named Yan Xia shook her head slightly, her hair tied into a ponytail flashing with silver light under the light, "The bones of the deceased were all crushed, but the skin was intact!

The key is that there is no congestion, redness or swelling in the soft tissues of his body, which directly rules out all external factors!

What's more, Medical Examiner Jiang clearly stated in the autopsy report that there were no drugs or toxins remaining in the body of the deceased, and the main cause of death was brain death!

It is not difficult to judge based on the scene photos of the deceased that he was brain-dead first, and the bones in his body were shattered later, otherwise the body would be in a painful and twisted posture."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Li Hu snuffed out half of the cigarette in his hand, picked up the autopsy report on the table, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can, "I don't care how weird the cause of Qin Shou's death is, and I don't want to waste my energy on studying the corpse!

As long as he didn't commit suicide, there must be a murderer. Shouldn't we look for clues from the causal relationship and motive of the murder? "

"You mean the murderer deliberately made a strange corpse to confuse the public?"

"Is not it?"

"of course not!"

Yan Xia took out 4 document bags from her handbag and handed them over, "Let's take a look! Since the beginning of this month, in just over 20 days, 4 'deaths in sleep' have occurred in our Le'an city alone. event!

One had his heart spit out directly on the pillow, and the other had a complete body surface but all the nerves were stripped off;

The blood in one body almost solidified into ice, but the last one had his entire skin peeled off!

The deceased were both male and female. The eldest had retired and enjoyed his old age at home, and the youngest had just started studying in junior high school.

It is difficult for us to find any crime pattern and motive for the murder from the murderer's perspective!

But these four deceased people have three things in common with the current Qin Shou - they were brain dead first, their time of death was around midnight, and they all died in bed without any pain!

I still can't figure it out, since the 'murderer's' methods are so cruel, why is he not willing to let the victim suffer any pain? "

Li Hu, who was looking through the information, was shocked when he heard this. He slowly took out a cigarette and lit it without saying a word. His straight and thick unibrow was almost twisted into a knot.

"The order given to me by the provincial bureau is to investigate the case with you alone, and no leaks are allowed! Do you understand now?"

"How many similar cases have occurred elsewhere?"

Li Hu leaned over and picked up the autopsy report from the trash can, spread it on the table and slowly unfolded it, "Since we are partners, you can't hide it from me!"

"There are many. So far, there have been 33 cases in China, and they all happened this month! As for whether there are similar cases abroad, I really don't know."

After Yan Xia finished speaking, she waited for a moment and saw him calmly folding the autopsy report and putting it in his pocket. She immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, change into casual clothes and take me to the crime scene. Maybe you can find something else." What."

The morning sun in early spring is not dazzling, but the soft light makes people unable to feel any warmth at all.

When he came to Jixiang Building again, Li Hu originally planned to say hello to the landlord Lao Wang, but Lao Wang was surrounded by a group of tenants who were eager to quit the rent, so he calmly took Yan, who was carrying a metal box, with him. Xia went directly to the 7th floor.

Room 704 seemed to be the same as before, but when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped Yan Xia who was about to enter, slowly squatted on the ground and took a closer look.

"Has anyone been here?"

Seeing this, Yan Xia opened the metal box a crack, took out a pair of VR-like glasses and put them on. She closed the box mysteriously and stared at the ground. "Such a shallow shoe print, I'm afraid it wasn't left by someone, right?" "

Li Hu glanced at her doubtfully, frowned slightly and said, "Since I'm here, you'd better put away your high-tech stuff, so as not to be seen and cause suspicion.

These shoe prints were left about two hours ago. Although the footprints are very shallow, the size and style are exactly the same as the high heels worn by the landlord's daughter!

You stand at the door and wait a moment. I'll take a look first and then talk! "

Without waiting for Yan Xia's response, Li Hu concentrated on carefully identifying the shoe prints that were invisible to the naked eye, and followed the blurred footprints step by step towards the bathroom.

But Yan Xia, who was standing at the door, obviously didn't take his words seriously!

After she took out a small can of spray from the metal box, she spat out a piece of light blue smoke at the ground. In the blink of an eye, a series of messy shoe prints with blue fluorescence but different colors appeared on the light yellow floor tiles. !

"you"

Li Hu, who was standing in front of the bathroom sink mirror and meditating, immediately turned his head when he heard the sound.

Unexpectedly, Yan Xia suddenly pointed to the door and said with a hint of guilt: "Thank you for bringing me here! I have to start working now, please wait outside the door!"

"Is this also an order from the provincial bureau?"

Li Hu squinted his eyes slightly. Not only did the "Chuan" pattern between his eyebrows become more obvious, but even his brown pupils became clear and shiny.

"Of course! You have such a good reputation, I don't dare to order you around!"

Yan Xia first looked at him without fear, then suddenly smiled lightly, then took out a stamped document from the metal box and held it in front of him, "Do you want to take a closer look?"

"Then I want to take a closer look!"

Li Hu took the document and leaned on the sink to read it silently. Not only did he verify the authenticity of the seal while rolling his eyes, but after reading it, he put the document to his nose and smelled the mimeograph in front of Yan Xia.

"It is indeed an order from the provincial bureau."

After handing back the documents, he walked out the door without saying a word, took out a cigarette and lit it against the door frame, "What exactly do you have in this box?"

"This is the latest secret of development!"

Yan Xia put on the pair of eyes seriously, then suddenly turned to him and said, "Do you want to take a look?"

"Since it's a secret, forget it!"

Li Hu slowly exhaled the smoke with a half-smile, "I only believe in my eyes, because I am different from ordinary people and can see more carefully."

"No wonder you have taken over more than 300 murder cases and can solve them all!"

Yan Xia slowly walked to the bathroom following the shoe prints on the ground, "Then how do you think Qin Shou died? Who left these shoe prints?"

"Oh, I'm not a layman now!"

Li Hu grinned, "However, I think I should eliminate Wang Shan's suspicion directly!"

"The daughter of the landlord, Mr. Wang?"

"landlord."

Two lines of white smoke slowly blew out from his nostrils. Li Hu looked at the gradually disappearing smoke and murmured, "Maybe he is the suspect!"

"Old Wang, Wang Daode?"

"No, I'm talking about the landlord!"

Li Hu's eyes became sharper, "There is another thing in common among the four documents you showed me. All the crime scenes were in rental houses, including the junior high school girl who was studying with her parents!

Many seemingly unbelievable things can be covered with a layer of mystery as long as careful preparation is made in advance!

And rental houses just meet this condition! "
