The case was not only reported to Mu Min's desk, but also directly to the desks of Liu Xiang and Wen Desi. Less than an hour after the report was reported, even Ran Yao, who was far away in Lingao, also knew about it.
He immediately made a phone call, so Su Wan was sleeping naked in the dormitory when his secretary woke him up from the bed and informed him: "Bring your tools and take the earliest boat to Guangzhou for a business trip. There is an urgent mission."
”.
At the same time, Liu San, who was already in Guangzhou, had to pick up his bag and go to the scene to act as a forensic doctor.
At this moment, both Gao Chongjiu and Li Ziyu had underestimated the ripples caused by the case they accidentally discovered while pursuing the case of Zhen Nu. However, based on their knowledge, this case was enough to cause a stir in both the government and the public even in the Ming Dynasty.
The entire work of the Guangzhou Police Department seemed to be centered around this scene. Li Ziyu saw Mu Min arriving at the scene, and knew that this was a huge case. Even though he was nervous, he couldn't help but feel secretly excited.
Mu Min arrived at the scene and took a look around. The scene in front of her reminded her of the "Shaanxi Dragon Case" taught by her teacher when she was studying at the Public Security University. However, the "Dragon Case" was mainly about killing for money, and it may also include spiritual aspects.
He has a morbid personality that has nothing to do with cults. This case has obvious characteristics of a case of witchcraft and evil spirits.
The top priority is to find out what the criminals are doing here and why they are doing so much here. However, these situations can only be clarified by relying on the old official.
The corpse pit has been cleaned up, and the corpses have been placed on three floors, with a total of eighteen corpses. After preliminary inspection by the coroners present, it was found that all the deceased were women and children, with the majority being children.
"Corpse No. 1" is the same. The corpses have been artificially destroyed to varying degrees. Not only are the facial features generally damaged, but also the internal organs, limbs, genitals and muscles are damaged. The tragic condition of the deceased is that it is difficult to look directly at the old man.
Mu Min directed Wu Zuo to register the location and number of each corpse. Wu Zuo sprayed the corpses with alcohol, put them in straw bags that served as body bags, and transported them away from the scene one by one. They also lit incense at the scene, and the police present finally
You can take off your mask and take a breather.
Although the number of homicides discovered in Guangzhou, the number of unknown corpses found on the streets, and the number of unknown corpses fished out of the water will exceed this number in less than two or three days, but for homicides that occur in a small area, this is already a very serious case.
.
Mu Min ordered the search area to be expanded, and the National Army lined up in the entire inn, holding spears and stabbing into the ground to see if there were other burial sites.
Soon, the soldiers discovered "Pit No. 2" underground in the locker room.
"Pit No. 2" is located underground in the west wing of the cabinet room. Its shape is similar to "Pit No. 1". Two corpses were excavated from the north to the south. They were arranged neatly. They were a pair of male and female children, aged around four or five years old, and "Pit No. 2".
"Pit No. 1" is different, the body is completely preserved and has clothes.
Then, "Pit No. 3" was discovered in the east wing, and nine more corpses were found. The condition of the corpses was basically the same as that of "Pit No. 1".
While the survey work was going on, the news spread like wildfire among the people, shaking the city of Guangzhou like an earthquake. People poured in like a tide outside Zhenhai Gate. Although the National Army and the Coast Guard had already arrived from both land and water directions,
The surrounding area has been sealed off, and residents outside Zhenhai Gate are strictly prohibited from going out. However, the walls of Zhenhai Gate and the roofs of houses are still full of people watching the excitement. Some people simply hire boats to watch the excitement on the river, and the Coast Guard is on guard.
Outside the line, there were densely packed boats of various sizes parked. The crowds were so loud that the police at the scene could hear them.
Li Ziyu was extremely nervous during the entire exploration. Every time a corpse was brought out, he ignored the stench and fear and insisted on going up to see if the victim was Mingnu. However, most of the corpses had already been decomposed due to their high degree of decomposition.
It was difficult to distinguish the faces. Gao Chongjiu comforted: "These have been buried for a while. It has only been a few days since Mingnu disappeared? Don't worry."
Li Ziyu nodded. He knew that Gao Chongjiu was right, but no one could guarantee that somewhere in this inn would be the body that had just been buried. What if Mingnu was also killed by them?
How about facing Zeng Juan?
The work of cleaning up the scene continued until night, and no new bodies were found. Mu Min ordered the scene to be cordoned off and the cleaning to be suspended. She set off back to the city bureau and ordered the formation of a task force, named "6.5 Maojia Inn Extraordinary Murder Case", which continued throughout the night.
Start investigating.
Naturally, she personally led the task force, with Wu Xiang as the deputy leader. There were criminal police officers from Lingao, and several veterans were transferred from the original fast squad personnel, and Gao Chongjiu was naturally among them.
"All the suspects in the special case were sent to the former Guangzhou Yamen Prison, and all other prisoners in the prison were emptied. The prisoners were held in individual cells, shackled, and mouth-cuffed to prevent suicide!"
"All vacations will be canceled from tomorrow, and all mobile police forces will be concentrated at Zhenhaimen tomorrow morning."
"Early tomorrow morning, the National Army will cooperate with us to launch a house-to-house search of the situation outside Zhenhai Gate and the small boats of households."
…
She issued a series of orders and arranged the work. Then she personally talked with Gao Chongjiu and Li Ziyu, asking in detail about the circumstances of the discovery of the case.
When she heard that the case was caused by the investigation of a "paihua" abduction case, Mu Min nodded appreciatively: "It's good that you can take such a case to your heart." She said, "I know that the past yamen were very concerned about this.
This kind of case is generally not taken seriously. However, this case is closely related to the people. If it is handled well, it will not only restore the happiness of a family, but also give the general public a sense of security."
Gao Chongjiu said yes repeatedly, and Li Ziyu was deeply touched. Although they worked so hard on the case out of selfish motives, today's scene greatly stimulated him, letting him know that the Yamen had been indifferent and indulgent in the past.
What kind of darkness will be hidden behind it?
"Lao Gao, you are a veteran policeman in this city. You need to work harder on this case." Mu Min stared at him and said, "We have limited understanding of the underground society in Guangzhou. We have to rely more on your old connections.
.”
Gao Chongjiu stood up quickly and said: "Chief Mu, you are too polite, this is just a matter of words! As long as you need my help, just give me my instructions."
Mu Min asked: "I heard that when the crime occurred, Gao Tianshi sent someone to tell you on the spot that he wanted you to silence the prisoner?"
Gao Chongjiu said: "It is true." He added, "I know the seriousness, what kind of case is this? Don't say that this is the world of the Song Dynasty, it is fair and honest. Even in the past, I would not dare
At his request - to separate human flesh and blood, commit a crime that is so heart-rending and corrupt, even if the government doesn't see it, even if there is a god above his head, God will not let it go."
Mu Min said: "Very good." She stopped asking about the matter and continued, "You are an old police officer of Guangzhou Prefecture. You are well-informed. I hope you can do more."
"What did the chief say? I receive salary and be loyal to people. I will do my best." Gao Chongjiu said, "I asked a few old brothers to help me handle the case this time. This is somewhat against the rules. However,
These people are quite useful, if the chief can agree..."
Mu Min nodded and said, "Okay. If you want to find people, you can draw up a list."
Gao Chongjiu quickly stood at attention and saluted: "Thank you, Chief Mu!"
While we were talking, someone came to report that Elder Liu had returned from Shuangshan Temple.
The police station in Guangzhou does not yet have a dedicated morgue. All unowned corpses found on the streets and rivers and corpses awaiting inquest are sent to the Shuangshan Temple temporary residence outside the Dabei Gate. In order to preserve the corpses, they are stored in the Great World Icehouse.
All the ice cubes were transported to Shuangshan Temple.
Liu San has been working there with his apprentice since noon. Now he comes back smelling of disinfectant and his face is gloomy.
Upon seeing this, Gao Chongjiu quickly retreated. Liu San sat down on the chair and said after a while: "This case is too evil." He shook his head, "It's too tragic!"
Mu Min stood up, poured him a glass of water, and added a few drops of Xue Ziliang's latest successfully trial-produced Victory brand gin into it.
Liu San took it and drank it down in one gulp, saying: "From D-day to now, I have seen a lot of scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. I have never seen anything like this!"
"What's going on?" Mu Min asked softly.
"I took a preliminary look and found that this case has a strong cult flavor." Liu San said, "You know, traditional Chinese medicine itself also has some theories about yin and yang and the five elements. Although I haven't looked back at it, some of the contents are still similar.
The victims' facial features and mutilated limbs seem to have certain specialties, and these victims are likely to be victims of some kind of evil magic."
Mu Min said: "The old government officials all said that this was a case of harvesting and cutting..."
"The case of collecting and cutting raw materials is true, but don't forget that collecting raw materials has the color of witchcraft." Liu San whispered, "The report said that some of the gourds at the scene were filled with amber. According to my guess, they were filled with amber.
It's not amber, but a man-made 'corpse elixir'. I've also heard a little bit about this evil art of harvesting souls. In addition to being used to cause trouble, it can also be used to change one's life, extend one's life, get tired of victory, etc.
.Looking at the size of this inn, I’m afraid it’s a big deal.”
"What do you mean..." Mu Min worked in the Political Department in the past, so she still has this awareness.
"It is very likely related to our activities in Guangzhou." Liu San said, "I can also say that from some traces, it seems that this matter involves the synthesis of large medicines and alchemy."
Mu Min had also been exposed to underground cults in the old time and space, but had not really come into contact with such murder cases. Hearing Liu San's statement, he couldn't help but gasped and said: "I haven't thought about this, but the on-site investigation is not over yet."
, how about you go to the site to see it in person tomorrow?"
"Okay. But I don't know much about it either." Liu San said, (To be continued.)
