Shhh, the night is coming

Chapter 108 A Pile of Bones

Wen Lan and Zhou Jie had just arrived at the lobby of the police station, and the police on duty were answering the phone. Seeing them, they put down the phone and stopped them.

"Officer Wen, Officer Zhou, someone called the police, saying that a human hand was found in the farmland behind a family at No. 38 Renhe Road."

They paused suddenly, "The Grave Case has not yet been notified, and a new case has come again? This summer, our Q Town is really not peaceful. After the previous three murder cases, it is not enough, and now it is so cruel that we start dismembering the corpse?"

Zhou Jie patted Wen Lan on the shoulder and said: "Don't complain and don't guess, it's useless. Now that Team Liu is gone, Xu Ran is still in the hospital with Officer Yao. The heavy responsibility is on you and me. Hurry up and call the police." .”

The two of them didn't bother to eat lunch, and went directly to the scene with people.

No. 38 Renhe Road is a small supermarket. Behind the supermarket is a crop field. At this time, the crops have grown to a height of half a person, and the site is full of residents.

The police quickly cordoned off the scene, and a small policeman was at the scene to persuade the residents to leave.

Wen Lan and Zhou Jie raised the cordon and walked quickly to a 60-year-old farmer sitting on the ridge of the field.

There were obvious signs of trampling in this field, and the crops were severely damaged. The old farmer sat on the ridge of the field with a sad face and smoked a cigarette.

Wen Lan and Zhou Jie glanced at each other. Zhou Jie followed the trampled marks and walked towards the middle of the farmland wearing gloves.

Wen Lan looked at the old farmer, took out his police officer's ID card, showed it to the old farmer, and asked, "Hi old man, I'm Wen Lan, a policeman from the town police station. Did you call the police and say that you saw a human hand?"

The old farmer took another deep puff of the cigarette, then threw away the cigarette butt and stomped it hard with his foot.

Looking up at Wen Lan, she complained, "How could there be such a ruthless person? You killed someone and hid them in your own field. What are you doing in my field?"

"Old man, are you sure that what you see is a human hand, can you be mistaken?"

Wen Lan watched the old farmer keep squinting at him, feeling that his eyesight was not very good.

"Impossible. I came here early this morning to see how the crops are ripe. When I came here, I saw that the fields were trampled like this. Look at how the crops in this field have been ruined.

I'm angry, I feel distressed!Then I checked all the way along the trampled place. I had to know what the intentions of the people trampled on my crops were.

Go there all the way, and from here you can see that a large piece of crops is gone. "

The old farmer pointed at the place where Zhou Jie was standing. It really felt like there was a lot of space there.

"Are you the hand you saw there?"

"Yes, I don't know who did it. When I went there, I found that the crops had been dug out by their roots, and then filled up with the dug out crops.

At that time, I felt that something was wrong. They didn't come to steal food, and it didn't seem like they came here on a special trip to cause damage. Whoever made a special trip to destroy had dug up and filled it up again.

I grabbed the ears of crops that were not completely buried and pulled them out. As a result, I only pulled lightly, and I saw a hand, which scared me and ran straight to the ridge of the field. "

"Have you seen clearly whether it is a man's hand or a woman's hand? Could it be a child's hand?"

"How do I know? I ran away after seeing only a few fingers sticking out. I was so scared to death. Who would dare to look closely!"

"Okay old man, you can rest here for a while, when I come back, I need you to take a statement with us at the police station."

"Ok."

Zhou Jie had turned his head to look at him twice, Wen Lan put on his gloves, pushed aside the crops and quickly came to Zhou Jie, "How is it?"

Zhou Jie pointed to the bag on the ground and said, "Look for yourself."

The two squatted down together, and Zhou Jie spread all the bags on the ground.

Wen Lan frowned, and said, "The body is divided into fine pieces!"

"Yes, this pile of horrific bones is enough to prove that the murderer's methods are particularly cruel. The hand that the old farmer saw must be this."

Zhou Jie pointed to a hand-shaped bone inside the bag, which was only a skeleton. There were five bags, big and small, neatly placed on the ground, all of which were bones.

Wen Lan took a deep breath, "This case is more difficult than the previous ones, but it happens that only the two of us are left in this case. What do you think we should do?"

Zhou Jie also sighed and said: "What can be done, let's do it! Even if there is only one person left, he still has to solve the case, so we can't just ignore it."

"You dug up so much. It seems to be all limbs here. There is no head or torso. There is no way to solve the case with these bones alone. I think we still have to tell Officer Xu about this. The nature of this case is too serious." It's bad, maybe it has something to do with the case he and Officer Yao are investigating."

"Okay, then let's close the team first and talk when we go back."

Yao Yao rested after eating, and she didn't know the reason. Before the operation, it was fine to stay up 24 hours a day. After the operation, she always felt sleepy.

In addition to eating and going to the toilet, the rest of the time is spent sleeping.

Xu Ran looked at Yao Yao who was sleeping like a kitten, and smiled from the corners of her eyes.

He walked up to Yao Yao lightly, sat on the edge of her bed and looked at her.

Helping her gently brush a strand of hair covering her face behind her ears, looking at the clip of the monitor still clamped on her finger, her Adam's apple twitched.

Then he murmured, "I suffered."

Xu Ran suddenly noticed that Yao Yao's eyelashes moved, and quickly stood up and walked to the window, with his hands in his pockets, looking out of the window solemnly.

After a while, he felt that there was no movement behind him; he turned to look at her, and found that Yao Yao hadn't woken up at all, and was still sleeping deeply like a kitten.

Then Xu Ran exhaled slowly, then sat on the accompanying chair, turned on the computer and looked at Shen Jian's case.

Just glanced at it, then looked up at Yao Yao, and then laughed to herself.

At this time, the phone in his pocket rang suddenly, and he hurriedly walked outside, "What's wrong?"

"Another murder happened. This time it was more cruel than before. The murderer dismembered the victim."

On the phone, Wen Lan conveyed today's new case concisely and quickly.

After Wen Lan finished speaking, the phone was quiet for about two seconds, and then Xu Ran's deep and steady voice came, "Have you already been out of the scene?"

"Yes, Zhou Jie and I thought that you had just arrived at the hospital for a while, and wanted you to stay with Officer Yao for a while, so we didn't tell you. After we left the scene, we found that this case was very bad. It will be related to the case that you and Officer Yao are going to investigate, so I called to disturb you."

"Officer Yao doesn't need me to accompany her, she has been sleeping. Where are you now?"

Wen Lan was taken aback for a moment, but then immediately realized that Officer Xu was angry, angry that Officer Yao ignored him and just fell asleep.

Then he secretly smiled and said, "We are in the institute."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Xu Ran put away the phone and came to the ward again, Yao Yao was still sleeping soundly, Xu Ran found that the corner of her mouth was drooling.

Holding his breath, he turned around and was about to leave, but before he could take a step, he turned around and walked to Yao Yao's bedside.

He pulled out a tissue to help her gently wipe off the drool, and then put another tissue under her cheek.

"I am here, and I can sleep so deeply that my saliva drools out of sleep."

After walking to the nurse's desk and saying hello, I left the hospital with peace of mind.
