After Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan returned to CSY, Xu Lang immediately asked Lu Xing to conduct a detailed inspection of all the couriers who had been in and out of Fengjia Community on July 3 to see if there was any one who was about six years old.
Lu Xing, a man about ten years old wearing a peaked cap and a mask, did not hesitate at all and immediately re-checked the surveillance video at Xu Lang's request.
After Ding Haoqiong saw Xu Lang coming back, he wanted to know the result of Xu Langzha's questioning of Yang Zifei, so he also came over.
"How is the situation? Did Yang Zifei say any valuable clues?"
"Dingling bells..."
Just when Xu Lang shook his head and was about to explain his inquiry to Yang Zifei, Xu Lang's cell phone rang.
Xu Lang took it out and looked at it and found that it was the phone number of Director Wang of the Chengnan District Police Station. Xu Lang frowned and answered the call.
"Hello."
"Is this Team Leader Xu?" Director Wang's anxious and trembling voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
Hearing the vibrato in the other person's voice, he quickly asked: "I'm Xu Lang, what's wrong? What happened?"
"We...we found...found Yang Rongwei." Director Wang stuttered.
"What? Did you find Yang Rongwei?"
When he learned that Yang Rongwei had appeared, Xu Lang was suddenly shocked and exclaimed. After hearing Xu Lang's voice, the other members of CSY also stood up one after another, with excited expressions on their faces.
"Where are they? How many people are on the other side? Are there any hostages? Are there any weapons in their hands?"
After Xu Lang calmed down a little, he asked quickly.
"On Wanghai Street in the suburbs of Chengnan District, there is only one person without weapons."
"Okay, we'll be there right away. Pay attention to stabilizing each other's emotions and strictly control them. I'll immediately ask someone to assist you in your work." Xu Lang continued.
"Xu...Team Leader Xu, no...don't need to go to such trouble."
Hearing this, Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Yang Rongwei is dead, and what we found was his body."
"Corpse? Are you sure Yang Rongwei is dead?"
"One hundred percent sure, you will know when you come."
Hearing what the other party said, Xu Lang was shocked, knowing that something had happened, and that things were developing in a bad direction, and in a direction that Xu Lang least wanted to see.
The police officers who had just heard the news that Yang Rongwei had appeared were busy organizing their equipment and preparing for a head-on confrontation with Yang Rongwei. When Xu Lang said the word "corpse", everyone's faces showed incredible expressions, and even more
Many are still confused.
Xu Lang hung up the phone. He did not continue to inquire about the situation with Director Wang on the phone. Instead, he put down the phone and said with an extremely solemn expression: "Yang Rongwei is dead. Come out."
The group of people looked at each other, all seeing the doubts and confusion in each other's eyes, but they still quickly followed Xu Lang and left CSY, leaving only Lu Xing to guard CSY's base camp.

On the way to Wanghai Street in Chengnan District, Xu Lang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked very solemn and gloomy.
After Zhou Jiamei's mother reported the case of Yang Rongwei, the police had already opened a case for investigation. On July 3rd, because Zhou Jiamei accidentally recognized Yang Rongwei, the police discovered the identity of the suspect and started investigating along the way.
However, during the subsequent investigation, Yang Rongwei disappeared mysteriously, as if he had disappeared from the world. No matter how much the police searched, no trace of him was found, which made everyone feel strange.
From July 3rd to today, ten days have passed. During these ten days, Yang Rongwei's arrest warrants appeared in every corner of S City, as well as in surrounding cities. The people searching for Yang Rongwei, except the police,
In addition, there were also the parents of the victims, some enthusiastic people, including some people on the street. It was an action involving almost all the people. It almost turned S City upside down. Yang Rongwei was still not found. He really seemed to have disappeared from the world.
But now, Yang Rongwei suddenly appeared, and when he appeared again, it was not a living person, but a corpse, which surprised everyone.
Xu Lang was indeed surprised when he received the call from Director Wang, but now that he has calmed down, Xu Lang doesn't feel that there is anything surprising.
After Yang Rongwei was discovered on July 3, he unexpectedly escaped the police's arrest, and then he never appeared again. At that time, the police had two guesses.
First, Yang Rongwei did not commit the crime alone, but also had accomplices. When the police arrested him, his accomplices helped him escape from the scene and then hid.
Second, Yang Rongwei was held hostage and was taken away first.
When they first conducted the investigation, the police were still leaning towards the first possibility. After a long period of fruitless manhunts, this possibility became more and more likely. The second possibility was mainly
It was determined based on the blood stains at the scene and Yang Rongwei's discarded bicycle. There are two possibilities, but most of them prefer the first one. After all, Yang Rongwei has a criminal record and has a certain understanding of the police's methods of handling cases.
, after knowing that he was exposed, he chose to hide himself. This was the best way, but Xu Lang preferred the second option.
Xu Lang's reason is very simple. City S is indeed very large. In addition to the urban area, there are many towns and rural areas below, and it is also close to the sea. The search process does cost a lot of manpower and material resources. However, ten days have passed.
There are many police officers, and there are so many people among them, but Yang Rongwei has never been found. Is this normal?
It is obviously not normal. It is indeed difficult to find a person who wants to hide himself in a city. However, in front of the state machine, it is not difficult to find a person and say that he is a man. However, ten days have passed and there is still no discovery.
There were no traces of him at all, which was very abnormal. Based on the blood stains at the scene, as well as the discarded bicycles and wooden sticks, Xu Lang felt that Yang Rongwei was more likely to have been kidnapped. However, these days,
No new murder case was discovered, no body of Yang Rongwei was found, and no one contacted Yang Rongwei's father to extort money, which made Xu Lang once doubt whether his guess was true.
Now, Yang Rongwei finally appeared, and it was still a corpse. This proved the second possibility from the side, that Yang Rongwei was held hostage.
So, here comes the question, who kidnapped Yang Rongwei and who killed Yang Rongwei? Was it the people who followed Yang Rongwei? Was it the people on the road or the parents of the victims? Before seeing Yang Rongwei’s body
, Xu Lang was not sure.
————
The police car sounded its siren and quickly arrived at the scene, Wanghai Street, Chengnan District.
Before Xu Lang and the others arrived at the scene, they saw several police cars with flashing lights. A large cordon was set up at the scene. There were crowds of people standing outside the cordon, many of whom were looking at the cameras.
media people.
Xu Lang and the others stopped the car nearby, got out of the car, squeezed through the crowd, put up a cordon and walked in.
After entering the scene, Xu Lang did not see the body. He only saw an object on the ground covered with white cloth. Judging from the shape, it looked like the shape of a person, but the shape was a bit weird, which made Xu Lang subconsciously frown.
Frown.
Director Wang was at the scene. His face was a little pale, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead. I don't know if it was caused by the sun or some kind of stimulation.
After Director Wang saw Xu Lang and the others coming, he quickly walked up to Xu Lang and said, "Team Leader Xu, you are finally here."
Xu Lang took a deep look at Director Wang, whose expression was obviously abnormal, and the doubts in his eyes became more intense. However, he did not ask immediately, but nodded and asked: "Where is the body?"
Director Wang turned his head, stretched out a hand, and pointed to the place covered with white cloth. Director Wang's fingers trembled slightly. It was obvious that Yang Rongwei's body was terrifying.
Xu Lang looked at the direction of Director Wang's finger, frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Covering the body with a white cloth before taking photos to collect evidence is not in line with the case handling process, Director Wang."
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Director Wang had a look of helplessness on his face. He looked at Xu Lang with complicated and helpless eyes, and said with a wry smile: "There are too many people at the scene, and... and..."
"And what?" Xu Lang asked dissatisfied.
"Furthermore, the condition of the corpse is too horrific. There are so many people at the scene. I am afraid that someone will take a photo and the photos will be leaked and cause unnecessary panic in the society."
Hearing this, Xu Lang suddenly had a bad premonition.
When an ordinary person sees a corpse, he will be frightened and feel horrible. This is normal. But the police, whether they are civilian police or criminal police, as long as they have worked in the public security agency for several years, they will see some corpses to some extent.
, even if you have not seen the corpse with your own eyes, you should have seen it in photos and have a certain psychological endurance. And Director Wang is no longer a young boy who just debuted. He has been working as a police officer for many years, and he is still a police station officer.
Logically speaking, he has never seen any kind of scene. Even he thinks the corpse is terrifying and is worried that the condition of the corpse will be exposed, which will cause panic in society. This is enough to show that Yang Rongwei's death must be extremely horrific.
miserable.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang didn't ask any more questions, but walked straight to the body. Fan Yang handed Xu Lang a pair of gloves. After Xu Lang took them, he put on the gloves, stretched out his hand, lifted a corner of the white cloth, and looked inside.
After taking a look, Xu Lang's expression suddenly changed. He quickly put down the white cloth in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the crowd of people watching outside the cordon.
As a forensic doctor, Qin Mingyue's job is to examine the corpse. He originally planned to directly lift the white cloth and conduct an autopsy on the corpse. However, after seeing the situation at the scene and hearing the conversation between Xu Lang and Director Wang, he
There was no action for the moment, but now, seeing Xu Lang's reaction, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Ding Haoqiong came over at this time, looked at Xu Lang with an extremely solemn expression, and asked, "Is it Yang Rongwei?"
Xu Lang glanced at Ding Haoqiong, nodded, and said, "It's him."
"The body..."
Ding Haoqiong did not continue, but looked at Xu Lang. Xu Lang did not look at Ding Haoqiong anymore, but said to Director Wang: "Evacuate the crowd immediately and expand the cordon twice, no, twice."
After saying this, Xu Lang immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the director of the Chengnan District Public Security Bureau, asking him to send someone to assist Xu Lang and his team in their work.
After making these arrangements, Xu Lang did not let Qin Mingyue immediately deal with
After conducting an autopsy on the body, he glanced at Yang Rongwei's body with complex eyes, and then looked at the crowd evacuated by the police.
Police comrades from the Chengnan Public Security Bureau arrived quickly. With their assistance, many onlookers at the scene were forcibly evacuated, and the cordon was expanded twice as much, making it impossible for them to see clearly what was going on at the scene.
After all this was done, Xu Lang asked Qin Mingyue to perform an autopsy on the body.
When Qin Mingyue lifted the white cloth off the body, everyone took a breath of cold air.
The corpse was completely naked, without any clothes on it. Based on his facial features, everyone present could recognize the deceased as Yang Rongwei at a glance. After all, during this period, everyone was staring at Yang Rongwei's photo every day and was very concerned about him.
familiar.
The corpse was very clean, without a trace of dirt. Groupers had appeared on the surface of the corpse, but they were not very obvious.
Qin Mingyue had already begun a preliminary autopsy. When his fingers touched the skin of the corpse, there was no rigor mortis. When his fingers massaged the skin, elasticity appeared. Obviously, the deceased had definitely been dead for more than forty-eight hours.
The corpse was cut into two parts from the navel, with the face facing upward, arms raised, elbows bent, legs stretched straight, and separated at a large angle. Xu Lang made a rough estimate, and the angle was probably more than 60 degrees.
The two parts of the body were placed facing each other, about 50 centimeters apart. The wounds appeared pale and there was no blood. Xu Lang looked around the scene and found no blood. Obviously, this was not the first crime scene, and the wounds were excessive.
It was pale. Xu Lang could clearly see the deceased's internal organs at the fracture. There were also no blood stains and no bodily fluids flowing out. It was probably cleaned by the murderer.
The chest of the deceased was a mess, with two very abrupt pieces of flesh that looked like tumors, but were actually breasts. However, they were not male breasts, but female breasts. The breasts were sutured together later.
Sutures can be seen around it, and there is also a neat wound on the lower body. The male reproductive organ of the deceased has been removed, but it was not found at the scene and I don't know where it is.
The most terrifying thing is the wound on Yang Rongwei’s face. His lips were cut from both corners of his mouth. The wound extended to the root of his ears, revealing the white teeth of the deceased. It looked particularly ferocious and terrifying, much like the gash in Japanese legend.
The female is also very similar to the monsters in some Western movies and TV series, and she looks a bit like a clown in makeup.
After looking at the whole corpse, the first feeling is one of horror and extreme discomfort. The cracked corners of the mouth make people shudder, and the abrupt breasts make people feel very awkward and weird.
Where the body was broken, its internal organs could be clearly seen, giving people a terrifying and disgusting feeling.
Until this moment, Xu Lang finally understood why Director Wang, who was already the director of the police station, told him that the corpse was scary after seeing the corpse. He also understood why he did not take any photos to collect evidence before Xu Lang and the others arrived.
Under the circumstances, he covered the body with a white cloth. Obviously, what he did was correct and correct. This kind of bloody and terrifying scene cannot be seen by too many people, especially ordinary people.
Once such photos are circulated on the Internet, they will cause great excitement to many people and cause unnecessary panic.
Xu Lang secretly felt lucky that Director Wang chose to do this. Otherwise, Xu Lang believed that photos of the scene would definitely appear on the Internet before long.
Seeing Yang Rongwei's body, a name appeared in Xu Lang's mind again, the Black Dahlia case.
Yes, when Xu Lang asked Yang Zifei in the hospital just now, Xu Lang thought of the Black Dahlia case. However, at that time, Xu Lang just compared Xiaote and Yang Zifei. He felt that the two women had many similarities and differences.
At that time, Xu Lang was lucky that Xiao Te died and the case has not been solved so far, but Yang Zifei survived. This was of great help to the investigation of the case. At least, there were no dead people, right?
However, in less than an hour, Xu Lang saw a replica of the Black Dahlia, as if Short's corpse from decades ago appeared in front of him again. However, this time, it was not Short who died.
, but Yang Rongwei, and the deceased was not a woman, but a man. However, the murderer's method of committing the crime was almost exactly the same as the death of Short, and it was even a one-to-one replica.
Is this a copycat crime? Or a revenge crime?
The Black Dahlia case occurred in 1947, and now it is 2017, exactly 70 years ago, and now, a similar case has occurred. What does this mean, and what is the purpose of the murderer?
Xu Lang felt that his mind was very confused, too many questions appeared in his mind, and the image of Yang Rongwei's gaping mouth appeared in front of Xu Lang again and again, which made Xu Lang's face become very ugly.
Qin Mingyue was already conducting a preliminary autopsy on the body. Fan Yang was assisting and was also investigating the scene to see if any traces of the murderer could be found at the scene. Luo Jiayan was holding a camera and was taking photos to collect evidence.
Xu Lang did not look at Yang Rongwei's body again. Instead, he stood up and walked aside to find Director Wang who was sweating profusely and instructing his subordinates to maintain order. He wanted to know the discovery process of Yang Rongwei's body only if he knew the specific details.
Only by understanding the situation can the next direction of detection and investigation be determined. This is something that every policeman knows.
