Eye of Sin

Chapter 452 Skin and bones

Ning Shuyi was amused by Huo Yan's statement, and the sullenness he had felt due to his former adoptive mother's petty calculations also dissipated a lot.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the episode just now, and ate lunch together.

As a result of this incident, I ate lunch a little later than originally planned.

After eating, Ning Shuyi looked at the time and decided not to go back yet. He simply stayed and wrote a summary of the work he was due later.

When it was time to get off work, the two of them packed up the lunch boxes and went downstairs together.

Huo Yan's former adoptive mother was no longer there, and there were still people coming and going at the door, and cars passing by in a hurry.

When he returned to Ning's house in the evening, Ning Shuyi would naturally not mention in front of his parents that Huo Yan's former adoptive mother came to him to borrow money and wanted to catch him as a scapegoat.

She knew the personalities of Ning's father and mother very well. If they knew what happened to Huo Yan today, they would not be able to hide their distress and anger.

Huo Yan also would not take the initiative to mention such troublesome things. He behaved very calmly all night, just like usual.

"Xiaoyi, this afternoon, when you were not at home when you went to work, your third aunt came to give us wedding invitations." During dinner, Ning's mother, not knowing whether it was intentional or not, suddenly said to Ning Shuyi, " Your cousin took advantage of the Spring Festival holiday to take her boyfriend home, and the two families held a small engagement party together.

The wedding is scheduled for June, and I asked if you would be free to be her bridesmaid then. "

"Bridesmaid..." Ning Shuyi has always been a little resistant to those particularly cumbersome processes and rituals. Even if the protagonist is not her, she is very burdened by asking her to play a supporting role. "You also know that my job is stable. , but the work content and working hours are unstable!

If it was her wedding day and I stood there for a while, there would be no problem.

But if I need to follow the rehearsal over and over again, then I'm afraid it will be... inconvenient. "

"Your third aunt is still saying," Ning's mother didn't say anything in response to her response. Instead, while picking up vegetables as if nothing had happened, she muttered, "Her cousin is three years younger than you, and she is already engaged. You I haven't solved my personal problem yet, so I'm worried about you.

She also said that if it didn't work out, there were single young men with good qualities in her unit, and she would be willing to help you make arrangements. "

"Mom!" Before Ning Shuyi could say anything, Ning Shuyue spoke first. She sighed and said to Ning's mother, "Let her take care of Xiaoyi's affairs!

When it comes to getting married, there's nothing to lose if you get married later, and it doesn't mean it's better if you get married early.

I got married early, no, I was also the first to divorce in the whole family. "

Ning's mother was stunned for a moment, a little helpless, and looked at her eldest daughter, but she didn't say anything more, and the topic was dropped.

Huo Yan ate in silence throughout the meal, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

We have to go to work the next day. Except for the two retirees, Ning's father and mother Ning, who remained the same the night before, the other three young people all went to rest early and prepared to devote themselves to the New Year's work with the best spirit the next day. Go to work later.

On the third day after the Spring Festival holiday, the criminal police team, which had been quiet for almost a month, finally had another big task.

The two of them had just arrived at the office in the morning when Zhao Dabao ran in and waved to them: "Ning Shuyi, Huo Yan, come on, come out of the scene!"

This time, the crime scene was very far from the police station. They drove for almost forty minutes and finally came to the end of a small road that was inaccessible to cars. The group of people got out of the car and walked on foot. After walking around in the woods for a long time, they finally arrived at their destination - a depression surrounded by surrounding hills.

"This was originally a mine?" Huo Yan was observing the surroundings as he walked over. His past work experience made him very sensitive to the environment.

"Yes!" Zhao Dabao is not as tall as Huo Yanren and has long legs. Needless to say, there is a gap in physical fitness. He has been panting all the way and there is a layer of sweat on his full forehead. "It turns out that here It was a quarry, but due to illegal operations, there was a danger of landslides if mining continued.

Here! Look there are a few shabby little houses over there! Those were the villagers who were relocated for safety reasons after the quarry was closed.

Originally there was a natural village here with not many residents. Except for the elderly and children, most of the villagers were involved in the excavation work of the quarry.

After the quarry was shut down, these people were moved to other places and found other ways of living.

This area is basically an abandoned area, and few people come here on weekdays. "

As he spoke, he pointed to a piece of frozen water not far away: "That piece of water was formed by the original mining of stone. This time, our victim is waiting for us, just under the ice."

About twenty meters in front of them, there was indeed a large piece of frozen water. At this season, the temperature was still very low. It was unknown how deep the water was, but at least it was frozen solid and people could walk on it as they pleased.

On the shore next to it, unerected tent parts were scattered on the ground, and there was a man sitting on a pony next to him, listless and dejected.

No need to ask, you can guess just by looking at his appearance that this must be the person who reported the crime.

Huo Yan looked at the man who was almost scared out of his mind, then glanced at the tools and parts around him, and followed Ning Shuyi onto the ice.

Whether the person found it inside the ice, in the water under the ice surface, or in the middle of the ice layer, we are not sure until we see it.

But what is certain is that this is obviously a corpse dump site, and a long time has passed since then.

Therefore, if you want to find any traces and clues around here, it is almost a fantasy.

In this way, they didn't have too many worries and just walked away.

After walking less than half of the water, a few people finally vaguely saw the outline of a person under the ice not far ahead. They quickly walked up to it and leaned down to look down.

A female corpse, face down and back up, was frozen in the middle of the ice.

The female corpse was wearing a long dress, white.

The arms and legs exposed from the long skirt, as well as the waist covered by the skirt, are all shockingly thin, and are completely skinny.

If it wasn't sealed in the middle of the ice, it would be like the kind of mummy that should be found in the desert.
