Donghua Ice Factory has been closed down for a long time, but its underground icehouse is very clean, as if someone is cleaning it all the time.
"You stay up there and guard the entrance to prevent anyone from coming and locking us both in. I have already notified my colleagues nearby and they should be here soon."
Li Xue took her cell phone and looked around the icehouse, and soon she made a discovery.
"what is that?"
The bright light from the mobile phone shone into the corner, and Li Xue saw an incense burner. Next to the incense burner was a color photo of Meng Shi.
"Photos of the deceased? Why are there photos of the deceased here? Someone is paying homage to her here?"
The underground icehouse was not very large, and you could see the head at a glance, and there were no obstacles blocking the view, so Li Xue gradually became more courageous.
She walked to the corner and did not touch the photo of the deceased on the ground. Instead, she used the law enforcement recorder to record everything.
"Did you find anything?"
"I found a photo of Meng Shi. Someone came to this place to pay homage to her. Look at the ashes in the incense burner. That person has been here many times."
"Is that all there is?" Han Fei attached great importance to the clues provided by Meng Shi, but judging from Li Xue's feedback, it seemed that this was not too important a clue: "How about you come up? I'll go down and take a look?"
After pulling Li Xue up, Han Fei jumped into the icehouse. Almost the moment he entered the icehouse, he felt an inexplicable familiar feeling.
Closed, cold, and endless darkness keeps coming.
His hands and feet were a little numb. Han Fei thought of what he had experienced at Meng Shi's house. When the old lady lost control, room 1031 gave Han Fei the same feeling as this underground icehouse.
"It turns out that coldness is what the old man felt before he died!"
He turned on the lighting function of his mobile phone and went to the corner, looking at the incense burner on the ground and Meng Shi's photo.
Meng Shi in the photo is very young, and her hair has not yet turned white. Those who came here specifically to pay homage to Meng Shi seem to have only this photo in their hands.
"Donghua Ice Factory should be the first scene of the deceased's death. The people who came here to pay homage to her must know the inside story and have a close relationship with Meng Shi. They are most likely Meng Shi's three children."
"The boss has set up an altar table in his own home. There is no need to go to this place. Apart from him, the only ones left are Meng Changxi and Meng Changan."
The cold wind blew across Han Fei's face. Although the icehouse of Donghua Ice Factory was designed underground, the ventilation effect was excellent. This made Han Fei confused: "Does the icehouse also need to maintain air circulation?"
He followed the direction of the wind and came to the corner of the icehouse. There was a gap in the drainage outlet that seemed to be integrated with the floor.
Grasping the gap, Han Fei exerted force and found that the drainage outlet was just a decoration, and there was a passage underneath.
"Can it go further?"
Looking at the dark underground passage, Han Fei hesitated.
The air became humid, and a faint odor emanated from the passage.
"The icehouse drainage outlet has been hollowed out and is connected to the city's underground drainage system. Do we want to go down and take a look?"
"Wait for support. In the past, Xinhu used underground pipe network drainage facilities. Later, with the upgrading and expansion of the city, they have all been modified to underground corridor drainage facilities. It extends in all directions and is complicated. It is easy to get lost without a map." Li
Xue used to be a police officer in the criminal police team. She has rich experience. She never hesitates when she should rush forward, and she is rarely rash when she should think calmly.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, two of Li Xue's former colleagues arrived. Unlike ordinary police officers, they were members of the criminal investigation team.
One of the criminal police officers applied for temporary permission to the city's sewage system, called up the map, and then they followed the passage underground.
There was a faint strange smell in the air, and the underground artificial river made a gurgling sound. They were walking on the aisle for maintenance personnel, and above their heads were the tap water, gas, communication and other pipelines laid more than ten years ago.
"If the Donghua Ice Factory was the first crime scene, then after the murder, did the murderer move the body through the sewer?"
Li Xue was thinking about the case, Han Fei was thinking about every word Meng Shi had said before, and the other police officers around were studying the map.
"Sister Li, the area we are in does not appear on the map." A policeman enlarged the electronic map and said: "There is a man-made passage under the icehouse."
The map of the city's sewage system did not match the scene. Li Xue and the others entered an area not shown on the map, where a hidden "room" was dug out.
Entering along the entrance of the cave, Li Xue and Han Fei couldn't believe it when they saw the scene in front of them.
There are various drawings placed in this dark cave, as well as a thick stack of information about the corpse hidden in the refrigerator and the human body puzzle.
Some of the information has turned yellow, and it can be seen that the time span is very large, and it should have been collected bit by bit over several years.
"Don't move around! Wear gloves!"
What surprised the police even more was what was happening behind them. There were some cropped photos and pictures posted on the innermost wall of the cave, involving more than a dozen people. Most of the people inside had a circle drawn with a black pen on their pictures.
There were only three exceptions. The first one was He Shouye. Someone drew a cross on his photo with a red pen.
The second one is Meng Changan. His photo is circled with a red pen and full of holes made by the pen tip. It can be seen that the owner of the cave seems to hate Meng Changan deeply.
What everyone didn't expect the most was the third photo. That photo was very new, probably taken recently, and the person in the photo was Han Fei.
On Han Fei's photo, someone drew a question mark with a black pen.
"The photo circled with black pen should represent the person who has been excluded from the crime suspect. The cross drawn with red pen represents the person who has been killed. The person circled with red pen may represent the person who will be killed next. As for the final question mark..."
All the police officers looked at Han Fei, who also felt strange: "I felt like I was being followed some time ago. Could it be that the person following me is this guy who lives in the sewer?"
"It's very possible, but why did he put a question mark on your photo? Did you do anything special when he was following you?" Li Xue focused on Han Fei's photo.
"The first time I found out that I was being followed was on the set of "Flowers of Evil". I was on the phone with you at the time. I seemed to have said something - you should really pay more attention to Meng Changan than Meng Changxi.
Looking at the most harmless guy, he might be the murderer of his mother." Han Fei's eyes suddenly opened wide: "Yes! Just after I said this, I heard a voice coming from the corner behind me, and the other party should be the same.
Because my words caused fluctuations in my heart!"
"Now judging from the information the police have, all the evidence points to Meng Changxi. You are the only one who speaks for him. Do you think the real culprit is Meng Changan." Li Xue looked at the thick information in the cave and made a
Bold speculation: "Could the person living in the sewers be Meng Changxi who disappeared many years ago?"
