"Have you found any relevant information about Chen Wang?" Xu Lang asked after pondering for a long time.
"Chen Wang, male, 26 years old, from Chenjiahe Village, Zhuping Town, Hengtong County, S City, with a junior high school education. After graduating from junior high school, he left Chenjiahe and went out to work. More than three years ago, he followed Chen Jianjun and his wife.
They went to Changyang City to work. However, less than three months after they went to Changyang City, Chen Jianjun and his wife died unexpectedly, and Chen Wang returned to Chenjiahe with their ashes. A few months later, he and Chen Qiumin
We left Chenjiahe together, and we still don’t know where they went after that.”
"have no idea?"
After hearing Ding Haoqiong's report, Xu Lang frowned immediately.
"Although we don't know where Chen Wang has been in the past two years or so, we have investigated the use of Chen Wang's identity information. According to the investigation results, Chen Wang should have been in S City and its surroundings in the past few years.
peripheral activities, and the last time Chen Wang appeared in the police's sight was more than half a year ago, when he was detained on suspicion of smuggling and selling wild animals." Ding Haoqiong explained.
Hearing Ding Haoqiong mention wild animals again, Xu Lang asked casually: "You said Chen Wang was smuggling and selling wild animals. What kind of animals are they?"
"Oh, that's it."
Ding Haoqiong took out a portfolio and handed it to Xu Lang.
Xu Lang took the file bag, opened it, and found that there were not only text files but also many photos inside. Xu Lang did not look at the text files, but picked up the photos and looked at them.
The photo is of a small truck. There are some iron cages placed on the truck. There are many animals in the cages. Most of them are golden pheasants, and some chickens and ducks. In addition, there are also foxes.
Monkeys, etc., and in the middle are two sealed glass tanks, containing dozens of pythons. The pythons have different colors, but they are all relatively large.
Xu Lang did not look at the chickens, ducks and other animals. Instead, he looked at the photo of the golden pheasant. He frowned and said, "This should be a wild golden pheasant, right?"
Ding Haoqiong looked down, shook his head, and said: "I don't know, it looks like wild ones, but now there are some farmers who raise these at home and then sell them. The domestic ones are legal."
"Domesticated?"
Xu Lang raised his eyebrows. He didn't think so. If it were in the past, Xu Lang would definitely have thought that these golden pheasants might be domesticated. However, Xu Lang, who had lived in Zhuxi County for more than six years, felt that these golden pheasants were domesticated.
Wild, because Zhuxi County is a mountainous county, just like Hengtong County. In fact, Zhuxi County has many more mountains than Hengtong County. Xu Lang once took Xiao Yueyue to the mountains.
, I accidentally discovered wild golden pheasants, so Xu Lang thought these must be wild.
Putting down the photo, Xu Lang picked up the text file on the table. After just a few glances, Xu Lang's expression changed.
More than half a year ago, Chen Wang was seized while driving a truck carrying many animals. It stands to reason that the relevant departments should be able to see the problem at a glance and prosecute Chen Wang and file an investigation. However, the final result was also
They just fined Chen Wang and detained Chen Wang for fifteen days. What led to this result was a call from the police in Hengtong County, saying that these animals were raised by a farmer there and supported by their county.
project, in the end, the matter just dropped.
"What's wrong?" Ding Haoqiong and Luo Jiayan asked in unison when they saw Xu Lang's expression was bad.
Xu Lang put down the document in his hand, pointed at the signature on one page of the document, and said, "Why is he here?"
Ding Haoqiong looked in the direction of Xu Lang's finger and saw a name, Chen Guodong. This name felt strange to Ding Haoqiong because he had never heard this name before.
Luo Jiayan also came over, took a look, frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Chen Guodong? I seem to have seen this name somewhere."
Ding Haoqiong turned his head to look at Luo Jiayan in surprise and asked, "Where is it?"
"Let me think about it."
"Don't think about it, the director of the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau is named Chen Guodong." Xu Lang said slowly.
"Yes, I said it feels very familiar. When we went to the office of the director of the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau yesterday, I saw his name on his desk." Luo Jiayan nodded quickly and said.
After saying this, Luo Jiayan frowned again and said, "But, why does his name appear here?"
Ding Haoqiong looked at Xu Lang, then at Luo Jiayan, and said in confusion: "What's so strange about this? Chen Wang is from Hengtong County. He was arrested in S City, and people from Hengtong County came to assist.
Investigation, this is normal, is there anything strange?"
What Ding Haoqiong said was right. If the matter was just that simple, then there would be nothing wrong with Chen Guodong's actions. However, Xu Lang didn't think so.
First of all, when Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan went to Hengtong County to investigate, when they asked about Chen Qiumin's situation, Chen Guodong did not mention anything about Chen Wang. Maybe he felt that this matter had nothing to do with Chen Qiumin's case.
He forgot. At first glance, there might not be any problem, but now that he thinks about it, Chen Guodong must know some inside information. He didn't tell Xu Lang. So, what is the inside information?
Secondly, when Xu Lang and others visited the villagers of Chenjiahe and asked Chen Wang’s parents, they all said that Chen Wang left Chenjiahe more than two years ago and had not come back in these years. They did not know that Chen Wang
Where? Since they don’t know where Chen Wang is? Then, Chen Wang was arrested by the S city police half a year ago, why did Chen Guodong
Will it happen? Moreover, it is said that Chen Wang transported some farmed animals to S city? Are Chen Wang's parents lying, or is there something wrong with the information Xu Lang and the others are currently investigating?
Then, Xu Lang and the others still don’t know what Chen Wang has been doing these years, but what is certain is that Chen Wang has been active in S City in the past few years, and S City is so close to Hengtong County. Logically speaking, he
He shouldn't have stayed home for so long. Moreover, Chenjiahe is not a completely closed mountain village. There are also many people in the village who go out to work, and the closest place to go out to work is S City. Haven't they all met Chen Wang? This is why
It makes no sense either emotionally or rationally.
Finally, there is what Xu Lang and the others encountered this morning.
In the morning, Chen Bo went to the guest house early to wait for Xu Lang. He said he was taking Xu Lang and the others to have breakfast, but in fact he wanted to ask Xu Lang and the others when they would leave Hengtong County. When he learned that Xu Lang and the others were going to Chenjiahe again, Chen Bo
Bo was very hesitant and tried his best to stop him. After the attempt was fruitless, Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan drove to Chenjiahe. They encountered a mountain landslide and were unable to go to Chenjiahe. That road was the only way to Chenjiahe, and right there
At this time, Chen Guodong and the others appeared, which was also very strange. Although Chen Guodong said that he appeared there because there was a fight between villagers in the nearby Kuanping Village, and he wanted to rush over to deal with it. It sounded reasonable, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt
Very abnormal.
Xu Lang is not someone who has never lived in the countryside. Although rural people are very simple, they can also be very irritable sometimes. They tend to go to extremes when doing things. It is normal to have disputes and even fights over trivial things.
, for such matters, village cadres will usually come forward to mediate. At most, comrades from the police station will come to mediate. The director of the county public security bureau will not be alerted at all. Unless there is a serious injury or death case, they will be dispatched. It is just a case.
For a simple fight, Chen Guodong, as the director of the county public security bureau, would personally go out. This is not consistent with common sense. Moreover, the time when he appeared happened to be not long after Xu Lang and the others encountered the landslide. This was too much of a coincidence.
What Xu Lang couldn't let go of was that when Xu Lang and the others went there the day before, the road was clear. When they went there the next day, they encountered a landslide. Is this a coincidence? Obviously not, and Chen Guodong's appearance, although
It was a chance encounter. It would be better to say that he was following Xu Lang and the others, trying to prevent Xu Lang and the others from going to Chenjiahe again.
If the truth of the matter is really like this, then Chen Jiahe must be hiding some secrets, and who is this Mi Miu? Xu Lang doesn’t know yet, but Xu Lang feels that it may be related to the murder case of Chen Qiumin, and Chen
Wang's murder may also be related to this case.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang raised his head and said to Ding Haoqiong: "Contact the relevant departments and investigate whether there are any farmers responsible for raising animals in Hengtong County, especially Chen Jiahe."
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Ding Haoqiong nodded subconsciously, and then asked: "Do you suspect that there are no farmers in Hengtong County?"
Xu Lang pursed his lips and said, "We'll know if we investigate."
"okay, I get it."
After Ding Haoqiong finished speaking, he was about to turn around and go out.
"Wait a minute." Xu Lang stopped Ding Haoqiong.
Ding Haoqiong stopped, turned his head and looked at Xu Lang with a puzzled expression, and asked, "What else?"
"Tell the people in the city bureau not to contact relevant personnel in Hengtong County directly during the investigation, especially Chen Guodong. Do you understand what I mean?"
"okay, I get it."
After Ding Haoqiong left the office, Xu Lang stared at Chen Guodong's name on the document and fell into deep thought.
"Brother Lang, what should we do next? Are we still going to Chenjiahe?" Luo Jiayan asked.
Xu Lang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm not going."
"Why?" Luo Jiayan asked in confusion.
"If there is really a problem with Chen Guodong and the villagers of Chenjiahe, even if we go, we may not be able to reach Chenjiahe. Even if we get to Chenjiahe, we probably won't be able to get any useful information. Instead of running in vain, we might as well change the direction of the investigation.
." Xu Lang said.
"Change the direction of investigation? However, we haven't even figured out Chen Qiumin's past yet? How to investigate?" Luo Jiayan said with a frown.
Xu Lang thought for a while, and suddenly remembered the photo he got at Grandma Chen Yuzhen's house yesterday. He suddenly had an idea and said, "Is there a person named Chen Zhen who has a good relationship with Chen Qiumin and Chen Wang?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"Chen is really a college student, right?"
"Yes, but he dropped out of school during his senior year."
"Then go investigate Chen Zhen, find out why he dropped out of school, and what he did after dropping out."
"You mean to find other people through investigating Chen Zhen?"
"Right, that is it."
"Okay, I know, I'll go right away."
After Luo Jiayan finished speaking, she also left the office.
After Luo Jiayan left, Xu Lang was the only one in the office, and he fell into deep thought again.
Sun Wenyao may have been responsible for Chen Qiumin's murder, but what about Chen Wang? Was Sun Wenyao responsible for his death?
Judging from the photos taken at the scene, Chen Wang should not be killed by Sun Wenyao. If Sun Wenyao was not responsible for the case, then who killed Chen Wang? And why was Chen Wang killed? Is Chen Wang's murder related to Chen Wang's murder?
Is it related to Qiu Min’s murder case?
Also, when Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan went to Hengtong County to investigate Chen Qiumin's past,
They always feel that there is a force blocking their investigation, and this resistance is likely to come from Chen Guodong and the others. So, why do they block Xu Lang and the others from their investigation? What does they have to do with Chen Qiumin's death? Also,
, what secret does Chen Jiahe have?
As the investigation deepens, the case becomes more and more complicated. There are currently no new clues in the investigation of Chen Qiumin's murder, but more questions continue to arise, which makes the investigation work very unsmooth.

"Dong dong dong..."
A rhythmic knock on the door interrupted Xu Lang's contemplation.
"Enter."
The door was pushed open and Ren Xue walked in holding a document.
After seeing Ren Xue, Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Have Chen Wang's autopsy results come out?"
Ren Xue walked to Xu Lang's desk, shook her head and said, "No, Chen Wang's body is still being dissected. This is Chen Qiumin's autopsy report."
After saying that, Ren Xue handed the document in her hand to Xu Lang.
Xu Lang quickly took over. In the past two days, Xu Lang and the others had been conducting peripheral investigations. Qin Mingyue had been conducting Chen Qiumin's autopsy work alone. The autopsy results had not come out, although Xu Lang had already known about Chen Qiumin's death.
Xu Lang didn't know the cause of death, but other details. Now that he finally saw the autopsy report, Xu Lang was very excited. After all, with a detailed autopsy report, the investigation of the case would be more conducive.
The cause of Chen Qiumin's death was similar to what Qin Mingyue and Xu Lang said in the forensic autopsy room. In a fasting state, overeating led to acute gastric dilation, compression of the heart, resulting in gastric bleeding and cardiac arrest.
To put it bluntly, it’s overwhelming.
The deceased's tongue was missing and a cut tongue was found in his stomach. The deceased's left breast was cut off and the missing breast tissue was also found in his stomach, while the missing skin, flesh and muscle tissue on his legs were found.
It was also found in his stomach.
There were three fatal injuries on the body of the deceased.
The first is the mouth. If the tongue is cut off, although there will be no immediate death, if left alone, the wound will bleed heavily. The blood will enter the stomach along the esophagus, and may also enter the respiratory tract. Once it enters the respiratory tract, it will not be killed immediately.
Cleaning may cause difficulty in breathing, leading to death by suffocation.
The second place is his chest. Generally, men's breasts are underdeveloped. However, the deceased Chen Qiumin was very fat and had a lot of fat in her breasts. If her breasts were cut off, there would be a lot of bleeding. If the bleeding was not stopped in time,
, may also cause shock and death due to excessive blood loss.
The third place is the thigh. This is the largest wound on the deceased. All the muscle tissue on the thigh has been removed. Not to mention that the human thigh has veins. If not done properly, once the veins are punctured, there will be
Caused massive bleeding, leading to death from excessive bleeding. However, Qin Mingyue also explained to Xu Lang how to treat the leg veins of the deceased, and the deceased did not die due to massive bleeding.
In addition to the three fatal wounds on the exterior of the deceased's body, there were also multiple fatal wounds on his body.
One is the acute expansion of the stomach, leading to gastric bleeding.
Secondly, the deceased was already obese and his heart was not in good condition. The rapid expansion of his stomach also compressed his heart, causing irregular heartbeats.
Third, the deceased was very obese, and due to obesity, various organs in the body developed some diseases, such as fatty liver, etc. If the deceased continued to overeat like this, even if he was not killed, his body would also develop diseases.
problem, and thus death.
In addition to these fatal injuries, the deceased's hands showed signs of being severely restrained. The tools used to bind the deceased's hands were two wires. According to the on-site investigation, these two wires were things in the room because the deceased was very obese and the wires were
The skin had been strangled and embedded in the muscles, and these were all the wounds on the deceased's body.
There were no injuries on the body of the deceased, and no traces of a struggle were found at the scene. It was obvious that the deceased did not fight with the murderer before his death. When Qin Mingyue inspected the lower back of the deceased, he found a black and blue spot on the lower back.
After the autopsy, it was found that there was subcutaneous bleeding. According to experience, this should be caused by being shocked by something like a stun gun.
Qin Mingyue conducted a detailed autopsy on the deceased's body and found no sleeping pills or sedatives in his stomach or blood.
Seeing this, Xu Lang's mind roughly sketched the scene where the murderer committed the crime.
After entering Room 315, the murderer directly stunned the deceased with a stun gun. Then, using local materials, he fixed the deceased on the sofa in the room with wires, cut off the deceased's tongue, and made him unable to speak. The intense pain made him unconscious.
The deceased woke up, and because his tongue was cut, he could not make a cry for help. When he was awake, the murderer cut off his left breast, then the muscles on his thighs, and then forced the deceased to eat these things.
.
This process is very long. From the scars on the deceased's lower back and the takeaway boy's memories, the two times basically match. Combined with the time of death of the deceased, this process lasted at least more than 20 hours, and the deceased was
He suffered a lot of pain and torture during this period. After eating his own flesh, he was starved to death due to a large amount of gluttony. The murderer then finished the crime. Then he cleaned up the scene and left room 315, leaving the body in a closed room.
The room was rotten and smelly until the hotel staff discovered it and called the police.
When this picture appeared in Xu Lang's mind, Xu Lang shivered subconsciously, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
