Chapter 12: Crows Lead the Way She stood against the light, a black vortex above her head...

Wen Yi stood there motionless. Just when the crow was about to hit her, she tilted her head and smiled at it, "Hello."

The crow landed steadily on her shoulder, and slowly combed its feathers with its sharp beak.

These corpse crows, like the red-feathered birds before them, are her mother's "eyes and ears".

Her mother has the ability to communicate with all living things in the world.

And Crow - with high intelligence, psychic nature, strong mobility and good at team battles, is her mother's most capable assistant.

Although Wen Yi does not have the same talent as her mother, she has the same blood power as her mother, so driving the corpse crows is no problem for her.

These crows are extremely sensitive to smells and can even detect sulfides released by decaying matter deep underground, which can help her find buried corpses.

At this moment, the scarlet eyes of the corpse crow on the tree were staring at Wen Yi, like a soldier waiting for orders.

"Go, find him."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of corpse-crowned crows took off into the sky at the same time, instantly covering half of the sky, looking eerie and terrifying.

When Gu Yifeng rushed to the nursery, Wen Yi did not notice his arrival. She stood against the setting sun, with a golden twilight behind her.

Wen Yi stood under the tree, and dark crows circled above her head, forming a slowly rotating black vortex.

The slender wrist was gently raised and then suddenly dropped, and the crows immediately dispersed into several black torrents, flying in all directions of the nursery.

One of the corpse crows came towards Gu Yifeng. When passing over his head, it suddenly swooped down with a roar and flew over his shoulder.

*

When Gu Yifeng put down his arm that was blocking the crows, Wen Yi had already left with the crows.

He took a deep breath, calmed his shocked and complicated mood, and followed Wen Yi.

Just now, when Gu Yifeng finished the meeting and rushed back to the office, he found that she was gone.

He rushed here suppressing his anger, but when he saw that scene, his anger suddenly disappeared.

How many secrets does she have?

If one day she wants to leave, can he still keep her?

Gu Yifeng unconsciously rubbed the handcuffs on her waist. Guns and bullets might not be able to hurt her at all, so what could this pair of metal bind?

He smiled bitterly. He was never afraid of her abilities, he just hated his own ordinariness.

As dusk deepened, the wind in the forest whispered, as if mocking his insignificance.

A loud "Ya——" scream came from the front, and Wen Yi stopped.

Three corpse crows circled and screamed above an open area of ​​land. One of them quickly landed on the ground and pecked the ground with its sharp beak.

Wen Yi lowered her eyes and observed carefully. The soil there was slightly sunken compared to the surrounding area, and the color of the soil was also darker than the surrounding area.

Her heartbeat suddenly quickened. She believed that the instincts of the corpse crows were not likely to make mistakes. Could it be that the corpse was here?

The sunset was a bit dazzling, and Wen Yi squinted her eyes to scan the surrounding scenery.

The color of the soil under my feet, the tall trees in the distance, everything in front of me gradually overlapped with the scenes in my memory.

That’s right, it’s here!

Wen Yi squatted down, and just as her fingertips were about to touch the soil, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from behind.

Before she could turn around, an irresistible force suddenly grabbed her outstretched arm and lifted her up. Her back slammed into the hard chest, causing her pain.

"Wen Yi!" Gu Yifeng's gritted teeth voice exploded against her eardrum, "Do you still remember what you promised me?"

Oh no! He arrived so quickly! Wen Yi felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look back.

The hand that held her twisted hard, forcing Wen Yi to turn around. Gu Yifeng's other hand clasped her waist, his five fingers digging into Wen Yi's soft skin through the fabric. She was forced to look up, bearing Gu Yifeng's angry glare.

Their eyes met silently, and Wen Yi could clearly see his tense jawline and eyes filled with anger.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to clearly feel his violent heartbeat coming from across the air.

Gu Yifeng lowered his head, his eyes fixed on Wen Yi, and he opened his thin lips slightly: "You promised me that you would answer my call."

The warm breath brushed past Wen Yi's ear, "I will not act rashly if I find anything." The hand holding her forearm slowly moved up, finally clasping her wrist and tightening suddenly.

"Which one did you do?"

Wen Yi frowned in pain, but couldn't break free, so she could only avoid his gaze: "Gu, Gu Yifeng, please listen to my explanation first..."

"Explain!" Gu Yifeng's tone suddenly became heavier. He exerted a little force on his hands and she bumped into his arms, her lips almost brushing his jaw.

She only felt the scorching body temperature passing through her skin, burning her to the point of losing all her sanity.

"I, I..." What was the excuse she had just come up with?

"Do you know how dangerous it is for a person to go to a crime scene?" Gu Yifeng interrupted her. "How many murderers will return to the crime scene? Miss Wen, how capable do you think you can save your life from a violent criminal?"

Wen Yi raised her head and stared at Gu Yifeng blankly. The aura from him completely surrounded her like a tide, making her forget how to struggle.

The shrill cries of crows came from beside him. The hooded crows seemed dissatisfied with the drama of "the domineering boss fell in love with me" and began to cry in turns at the top of their lungs, as if they wanted to help Wen Yi drive him away.

Gu Yifeng was annoyed by the crows' cries. He suddenly looked up and roared at the three crows:

"Shut up right there!!"

This intimidating roar was like thunder out of the blue, not only scaring the crows, but even Wen Yi couldn't help but shrink her shoulders.

The crows suddenly became as quiet as chickens.

Wen Yi blinked. How could she have mistakenly thought that he was a gentle and refined man?

The "quarrel" between the three birds and one person finally subsided. Gu Yifeng's ears were quiet and he looked at her again.

He took a deep breath, his tone low and serious, "More than ten years ago, my colleague went to the scene for the first time. His partner deserted his post, leaving him alone at the scene. He happened to run into the murderer returning... and he nearly lost his life."

Gu Yifeng sighed and said in a slightly slower tone: "I don't want this to happen to you."

"So...that's how it is." Wen Yi felt relieved. It turned out that this was what he was angry about.

She nodded, looking at Gu Yifeng softly, her tone full of sincerity: "I understand, I won't act on my own in the future. But you also know that I am not an ordinary person."

"Forget it," Gu Yifeng shook his head lightly, his tone helpless, "I think I see through you, will you dare to do it next time?"

Wen Yi knew she was in the wrong, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said stubbornly: "How could that be..."

The crows cried again in the distance.

The sounds of "Ya-Ya-" came one after another, interspersed with a few short "chirp chirp" sounds.

Wen Yi suddenly turned around and locked her eyes on the direction where the crying sound came from.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yifeng noticed her abnormality and loosened his clenched hands.

He looked at Wen Yi's incredulous expression and couldn't help but whisper, "What are they...calling?"

"This is the food source indicator signal for crows..." Wen Yi hesitated, her voice trembling slightly.

"Food source instructions? What does that mean?" His voice was low and urgent. "Can you decipher the language of crows?"

Wen Yi looked at the skull crows crying in the distance, her eyelashes trembling, as if she was hesitating whether to confess.

Dozens of corpse crows were scattered on the distant land, each making a "chirp chirp" sound, as if they were discussing or conveying some information.

"Representative..." Wen Yi looked at the crying corpse crow, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"There's more than one body buried here."

The air between the two seemed to freeze, with only the crows' cries echoing in their ears.

Night falls

Wen Yi curled up quietly in the passenger seat of Gu Yi's windmill, looking out the window at the arriving criminal police who set up investigation lights, pulled up yellow cordons, and sealed off the crime scene tightly.

Before the police arrived, Wen Yi had already dispersed the hooded crows present.

Before getting out of the car, Gu Yifeng turned to Wen Yi and solemnly instructed her, "Remember, I didn't see any crows today." His fingertips gently brushed the top of Wen Yi's hair, brushing away a tiny leaf. "You've never been to the scene either. Do you understand?"

Wen Yi nodded, understanding Gu Yifeng's intention.

Several police dogs arrived at the scene and began to help locate the body using their trained skills.

Accompanied by the sound of sirens and the barking of dogs, three engineering shovels were simultaneously inserted into the wet soil.

Gu Yifeng stood at the excavation site, his eyes sharp as a torch, staring closely at every inch of turned soil.

When the first corpse appeared under the shovel, a strong stench of decay wrapped around everyone's throat like invisible tentacles. The young police officer turned his head and covered his mouth and nose:

"Team Leader Gu, we found it!"

As the night deepens, the on-site investigation lights illuminate the excavation site as bright as day, and the busy figures of criminal police shuttle back and forth under the lights.

"Director Gu, this body is highly decomposed and needs to be taken back for further autopsy." Dai Yiming frowned.

Gu Yifeng nodded, took a deep breath, turned to the police officers and said, "Keep digging, don't miss any clues."

The cordon glowed coldly under the survey lights. Yunhu TV reporter Wang Yuwei stood outside the isolation zone with a microphone in hand. Behind her were flashing police lights and busy police officers.

"This is the relocation area in the northern suburbs of Yunhu City. Tonight at 8:30 PM, Yunhu City police, acting on a report from a concerned citizen, unearthed three severely decomposed male bodies in this abandoned nursery.

It is worth noting that this plot of land is the planned land for the 'AI Smart Ecological Park' project, a key project of the municipal government, and Yiqi Technology won the bid to develop it.

The camera suddenly panned to two police officers carrying out a body bag. Wang Yuwei continued, "It's reported that this AI project, expected to invest hundreds of millions of yuan, is about to complete two rounds of financing and is expected to launch within the year. Unexpectedly, multiple murders have occurred at this critical juncture.

So who are the three deceased people, and are their causes of death related to the launch of the project?

The police have yet to give a clear answer..."

*

"...Our reporter Wang Yuwei will continue to follow up on the report—"

The screen suddenly went black and the remote control was smashed to the ground with a crisp sound.

The sound of the report still seemed to echo in his ears. Guo Qingyu sat on the single sofa with a gloomy look.

According to his original plan, the three bodies would be buried in this abandoned nursery, waiting for the official launch of the AI ​​Smart Ecological Park project.

The intelligent land planning and soil treatment technology he personally participated in designing will allow the corpse to completely decompose and merge with the soil.

Just wait a few more months and these secrets will be completely destroyed.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

"You always ruin my good things..." He murmured, with a meaningful smile on his face, "It's time to meet you, little troublemaker."
