After the heavy rain, the sky is still gloomy.
By noon, Sun was nowhere to be found.
The thick clouds occasionally opened a gap, letting out a few rays of pale sunlight, and then closed again.
Guanlan District An abandoned Slaughterhouse in the suburbs is currently surrounded by red and white warning tapes and is being quarantined.
Outside the cordon, there were many nearby villagers who heard the news and came to watch the excitement.
They stepped on the muddy ground, whispered to each other, and curiously poked their heads inside, trying to find out what was going on.
Several police cars with flashing lights were parked on the side of the road, keeping these meddling crowds at bay.
The air was filled with the smell of damp earth, and there was also a faint smell of blood.
Zila--
A black Off-Road Vehicle ran through the muddy water on the road and stopped steadily in front of the warning tape.
The car door opened, and three figures filed out.
The leader is Gao Jin, followed by two young Affairs Officer, Zhou Liang and A Li.
The two of them had heavy dark circles under their eyes and yawned.
Looking at the muddy ground with almost nowhere to stand, a bit of disgust appeared on his face unconsciously.
Gao Jin appears full of energy and has sharp eyes.
Ignoring the filth beneath his feet, he lifted up the warning tape, took long strides, and walked forward.
Upon seeing this, a middle-aged police officer in charge at the scene rushed over to greet him with a very respectful attitude.
"You are Chief Gao, right?"
"I am the person in charge of Guanlan Sub-district Police Station Criminal Investigation Team, Liu Yuan."
Gao Jin nodded slightly, and after introducing each other, he got straight to the point:
"How is the situation on site?"
Officer Liu was obviously well prepared and immediately began to report to him:
"Preliminary judgment shows that the crime occurred between 00:00 and 2:00 in the morning last night."
"The reporter was a villager who lived nearby. He claimed that he was awakened by the continuous barking of dogs and several loud noises similar to Gunfire last night."
"Due to the heavy rain at night, he did not dare to go out to check. He could vaguely see a figure wearing a raincoat moving near Slaughterhouse from the window, but he could not see his appearance clearly."
"It wasn't until this morning when the rain stopped and he went out to check out the situation that he realized something had happened here."
Gao Jin glanced at Slaughterhouse's dilapidated building, and then asked:
"Has the deceased been identified?"
"Confirmed."
Liu Yuan replied methodically:
"The deceased's name is Chen Rui, male, 32 years old. He is a contractor for Slaughterhouse. He is a non-local and lives here."
"According to interviews and investigations, he is usually quite kind and has no enemies. He just has a weird personality. He has dozens of large fierce dogs. It is said that he plans to open a dog farm after the year."
The two of them were talking and walking, and they had arrived at the entrance of Slaughterhouse.
A young police officer immediately handed over several pairs of blue shoe covers.
Gao Jin and his two men skillfully put on their shoes to avoid bringing the mud from the outside into the scene.
Pushing open the rusty Iron Door, a strong and pungent smell of blood hit my face as if it were real, instantly overpowering the original putrid smell of the place.
Zhou Liang and A Li frowned almost at the same time.
The scene in front of them made the two Affairs Officer, who had seen many scenes, feel strong discomfort.
The interior of Slaughterhouse, which covers hundreds of square meters, can be said to be a mess.
The air was filled with the unique smell of blood and internal organs.
The floor, walls, and ceiling were all covered with splatters of dark red blood.
Collapsed iron frames, twisted iron hooks, scattered butchering tools, mixed with Bone Fragment and rotten meat, almost covered the entire space.
There were several corpses that could barely be identified as large dogs, and they appeared to be in pieces.
As if it was hit by some terrifying force, it exploded, and internal organs and minced meat were scattered everywhere.
There were even some broken pieces stuck directly on the wall more than ten meters away.
In the center of the scene, a rusty iron hook hangs from the ceiling.
Hanging above is none other than the deceased Chen Rui.
However, it can no longer be called a complete corpse.
Several police officers in investigation uniforms were busy around the scene, carefully collecting every possible evidence, or taking photos, sampling, and recording with cameras.
Zhou Liang turned a little pale, covered his mouth and asked in a low voice:
"Officer Liu, there are no human beings among these... these fragments, right?"
"The forensic doctor has confirmed that they are all canine."
Liu Yuan replied in a deep voice, with an unusually solemn expression:
"Although the deceased was brutally tortured during his lifetime, his body parts are still intact."
Zhou Liang and A Li breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The murderer is not so perverted as to turn people into mincemeat, and he finally retains a bottom line.
However, seeing the remains of canines all over the ground, if any dog lovers were there, they would probably collapse on the spot.
Gao Jin's expression is always as calm as water.
His pupils shone slightly, like the most sophisticated scanner, calmly scanning every corner of the scene.
In his mind, these messy traces were quickly being deduced in reverse and combined into dynamic battle scenes.
He saw the trajectory of the heavy iron frame being knocked over by an irresistible force.
Identify the direction and angle of blood spatters on the wall.
Then, his eyes fell on the heavy Stainless Steel slaughtering table.
On the table, a fist mark was dented two centimeters deep.
The metal surface on the edge was twisted and torn due to the huge impact, and it was almost completely penetrated.
In a daze, Gao Jin seemed to have witnessed that moment, the thrilling scene -
A majestic figure with bulging muscles leaped high like a cannonball, and Heavy Fist, carrying a huge force, blasted out!
His opponent, on the other hand, dodged hastily at the critical moment of life and death.
Let that fatal fist hit the hard slaughtering table, causing a deafening metal scream!
Gao Jin's eyes flickered slightly and he calmed down.
Then, his sight was fixed on the wall that was simply built with refractory bricks not far away.
In the center of the wall, a huge hole with a diameter of more than two meters was opened.
Broken bricks were scattered outside the house, as if they had been blasted out by a siege hammer.
And on the wall directly opposite the hole, someone used the blood of the deceased to draw a huge and terrifying smiling face.
That smile was twisted and crazy, not only like a show off, but more like an unabashed provocation.
Speaking of which, ordinary Murder Case, no matter how cruel and tragic it is, it is not Special Search Team's turn to intervene.
But the extraordinary destructive power and the inhuman death of the victim clearly exceeded the scope of conventional crimes.
Police Force immediately reported East Capital Police Department, and Police Headquarters then conveyed it to Special Search Team, issuing instructions to assist in the investigation.
When Gao Jin heard that the location of the crime was Guanlan District, he immediately thought of the arrest operation he was responsible for last night, so he volunteered to take over the case.
He didn't even bother to rest, and rushed over with his confidants, hoping to find new clues.
"Huh?"
Zhou Liang suddenly pointed to an area in front of the hole and asked:
"Captain Gao, Officer Liu, look at this, is there something wrong?"
Gao Jin heard this and cast his gaze over.
It was a Cement ground of about ten square meters, which looked unusually "clean" compared to the bloody mess around it.
Although it is not spotless, there are obviously no spattered blood stains and scattered Bone Fragment head rotten flesh, as if someone has deliberately cleaned it.
In the corner facing this area, more tools, debris and corpses were piled up.
When Liu Yuan saw this, he thought Zhou Liang was questioning his professionalism, so he quickly explained:
"Our people are very professional and will never make stupid mistakes that damage the scene."
"This area, according to forensic speculation, may have been caused by heavy rain and wind last night, and the strong wind that poured in from the hole caused it to look like this."
"That's not right..."
Zhou Liang walked close to that area, observed it carefully, then shook his head and retorted:
"If it is blown by the wind, aerodynamically speaking, the airflow should be diffuse and not form such a sharply defined fan-shaped area."
"And you see, the accumulation of debris blown away is more like being repeatedly impacted by a continuous and strong directional airflow."
Gao Jin nodded approvingly, agreeing with Zhou Liang's judgment.
A Li scratched his head in confusion and joined in the analysis and reasoning:
"Is it because the murderer cleared up clues? Otherwise, how could the ground be so clean?"
"But... why does he only clean this area?"
"This is not cleaning up the scene."
Gao Jin spoke slowly and in a low voice:
"It's the aftermath of a battle..."
As he spoke, his eyes were deep and he once again fell back on the deep-cut fist mark on the slaughtering table.
At this moment, "Ding-a-ling--", a rapid ringing of bells suddenly rang.
Liu Yuan immediately apologized and took out his cell phone from his pocket.
He walked to the side to answer the call, and deliberately lowered his voice in order not to disturb the scene, but the surprise in his tone still came through.
The content of the conversation that was vaguely heard seemed to be communicating something with a subordinate.
"What?"
"The police car that was lost in our division last night was just found at Yinhu Road in Wenchuan District..."
"Okay, you drive back first, make inspection and handover records, and then talk about it after I come back..."
Hearing the word "police car", Gao Jin's eyes moved.
"Lost police car?"
"Yes."
After a while, Liu Yuan walked back quickly. Seeing Gao Jin asking questions, he explained a few words:
"Last night, we District Police Station, didn't we receive an order to cooperate with your department's actions and set up card security around the area?"
"While one of my colleagues was on duty, his patrol car was urgently requisitioned by a commander who claimed to be Special Search Team, saying he was going to track down felons."
"The officer also showed his ID at that time, and it seemed... his surname was also Zhou."
"My colleagues reported it immediately after they came back, but we checked with the superiors and found no record of expropriation."
"But it's good that the car has been found now. The officer must be Benefactor busy and forgot to register and return it."
As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Zhou Liang, who was standing behind Gao Jin.
Zhou Liang's face changed slightly in an instant, and his neck shrank subconsciously.
Then, he exchanged a confused look with A Li beside him.
Fortunately, Chief Gao just glanced at him lightly and did not ask any further questions.
This made Zhou Liang feel a little relieved.
Gao Jin's attention is completely focused on the suspicious points of the current case itself.
His eyes were gloomy as he examined the corpse hanging on the hook and the bloody paintings on the wall, his brain working rapidly.
The murderer and the deceased were obviously not ordinary people.
Especially the murderer, the pure physical destructive power he displayed, Gao Jin asked himself, even if he put on the biological Implant Armor, he could only do it with his fists.
This shows that this person's strength is probably not inferior to his own.
Is it a vendetta between Ability User, or is there another hidden secret?
Gao Jin inevitably links this case to last night's operation mission.
Those arrested Noah Organization members are as tough-talking as Shitou in the latrine.
They seem to have received special training, or they may have some handle on Noah Organization.
So much so that he would rather bite the poisonous pill hidden in his mouth and kill himself than reveal anything about it.
Only a few of them could not bear the heavy pressure under Special Search Team's interrogation methods, and Mental Breakdown revealed some information.
The codename of their operation is "Demon Hunt Operation", and the target is a young man named "Smiling Devil" in Orphanage.
And this "Smiling Devil" is exactly Assassin, a serial pervert who has become famous recently.
Staring deeply at the devil-like smiling face on the wall, a bold guess vaguely took shape in Gao Jin's heart.
However, there is still one doubt...
Why is the information conveyed by Xu Hao said that Noah Organization is aimed at the children in Orphanage?
Is this kid deliberately concealing it, or is the situation urgent and he really couldn't explain it clearly?
Gao Jin thought for a moment and then issued an order to Liu Yuan:
"After you complete the on-site investigation and autopsy, compile all the relevant information on this case into a document and send it to me."
"Yes!"
Liu Yuan Hearing this, he immediately stood at attention and agreed.
Gao Jin After explaining, he turned around and prepared to leave.
When he just walked to the door, he seemed to remember something, turned back and asked:
"You just said that the commandeered police car was driven away from the warning area last night?"
"Yes, sir."
Gao Jin's eyes narrowed, and a key idea came together in his mind.
"When you get back, give me all the driving records retrieved from Positioning System, together with the case information."
The Positioning System installed inside the police car can not only monitor the vehicle's position in real time, but also record in detail the vehicle's entire driving route, speed changes and even parking locations within a specific period of time.
Although Liu Yuan had some doubts in his heart, he still simply agreed, saluted and watched the three people leave.
Gao Jin stepped out of Slaughterhouse on the muddy ground, and his eyes once again swept Woods and the roads around the yard.
His eyes are deep and thoughtful.
Then, he took Zhou Liang and A Li, boarded Off-Road Vehicle, and quickly drove away from the scene.
Among the people watching around Slaughterhouse, there were two eyes that had been watching them quietly.
They were two seemingly ordinary-looking middle-aged men.
After seeing Off-Road Vehicle leave, the two looked at each other without leaving any trace.
The moment their eyes met, they seemed to be communicating silently.
From their position, they could clearly see the inner wall through the huge hole in the Slaughterhouse wall.
That chilling demonic smile painted with blood.
At the same time, Wenchuan District and Feihong Road were far away on the other side of the city.
"Midnight Forest"Bar, just took off the "Closed" sign.
After 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the number of guests gradually increased in Bar, which was originally deserted.
The sound of the music also started to be strong and powerful, and the men and women were holding wine glasses and swaying slightly to the rhythm.
The entire atmosphere at Bar slowly became heated.
As if waiting for another sleepless night that will make people feel happy at home.
Second Floor VIP Lounge's door opened quietly.
Fang Cheng put on a clean Gray Tracksuit, and threw the shoulder bag containing the bloody clothes on his back casually.
Ignoring the commotion downstairs, he left directly through the hidden back door and came to the street.
The weather was a bit gloomy, and pedestrians and vehicles were busy on Street.
Woo'er--Woo'er--
A police car with its lights flashing roared past the street, breaking the dull afternoon.
Fang Cheng squinted his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
His sunny and cheerful appearance looked like a college student who had just finished a weekend party and was about to go home.
