Chapter 117

It was nine o'clock in the evening.

Xu's seafood food stall was not far from the police station, just one street away. A few people simply walked there, and the rest of them drove. The food

stall had a roof made of tarpaulin, with a light hanging in the middle of the roof. There were several large round tables underneath, and the flow of people was already full.

When the detectives came over, many neighbors greeted them.

Chu Yueqing was curious, and walked and looked around. She put the red plastic bag on the table and sat down. She looked at Gan Yizu who was sitting next to her, "It seems that many people know you guys?"

"Yes." Gan Yizu sat down and began to unpack the bowls on the table. He looked at the several leaders who greeted him and smiled, "In the first half of the year, there were several single cases in the neighborhood. As time went by, the police were called out more and more, and the neighbors gradually became familiar with us."

"So that's how it is." Chu Yueqing suddenly realized, and she said that she could call out their names.

However, this can also show how popular they are.

The people working at Xuji quickly came over to help take orders.

Zhou Fengxu asked for the menu and handed it to Chu Yuexi. Seeing that her eyes were immediately attracted by the menu, he curled his lips and smiled: "Look, order whatever you want to eat."

"Wow, I want to order too!" Shi Boren, who had just parked the car and came in, sat down on a stool, and moved the stool step by step to Chu Yuexi's side, his eyes fixed on the menu.

"Order five servings of grilled chicken wings. You must try Xu Ji's specialty, the ling ling."

"Okay." Chu Yueling pointed to the clams on the menu and looked up at the employee who was taking the order. "One serving of grilled clams with pickled peppers and one serving of steamed shrimps."

As she spoke, she looked at Uncle Zhong again. "Uncle Zhong, what do you want?"

Uncle Zhong put down his coffee cup. He had a liking for the young but extremely accurate little master. He smiled and said, "I want one serving of spicy fried sea worms." "

Officer Zhou, what about you?" Chu Yueling moved the menu down and leaned over to look at Zhou Fengxu.

Zhou Fengxu was discussing with Gan Yizu in a low voice, turning the teacup with his slender hands. When he heard the shout, he stopped and looked over. "I'm fine with anything."

Shi Boren shouted, "Why not order a portion of Xu's specialty seafood? Brother Xu is paying anyway, the more the better."

"You can order whatever you want. Don't be afraid of making me hungry." Zhou Fengxu put his wallet directly on the table.

The bulging brown leather wallet showed that it contained a lot of cash.

Chu Yueqing was embarrassed and ended the conversation after helping everyone order delicious food.

Just as she put down the menu, she saw a check being pushed over.

She raised her eyes and happened to meet Zhou Fengxu's gaze.

He said, "You helped catch Luo Tong today, and the police station will receive a reward."

"Another reward?" Chu Yueqing was very surprised, "The police station can give out so many rewards? The Hong Kong government is really rich."

"Well, we must make them rich." Zhou Fengxu smiled, then withdrew his gaze and continued to discuss the unfinished case with Gan Yizu.

Chu Yueqing held the check with a frown, and chuckled twice, "Thank you very much."

Only Shi Boren next to him looked surprised.

"Bonus?"

He moved a stool and half-crouched next to Zhou Fengxu, whispering, "Brother Xu, when will the police station have a bonus?"

"Can you notify me next time? I'll arrange for my informant to get more."

Zhou Fengxu looked at him and curled his lips, "Your informant doesn't have one?"

"Oh!" Shi Boren suddenly realized and pointed, "You paid privately..."

As he said this, he realized that it was not a good idea to destroy his own Sargent's place, so he leaned down and whispered, "Brother Xu, next time you have more money, I don't mind if you share some with me."

He said that in addition to the bonus for reporting serious criminals, there would be no other bonuses in the police station.

All of it was paid by Zhou Fengxu.

"Just think about it." Zhou Fengxu reached out and cleared a space for the dishes, and looked to the left again, "Yizu, how is the investigation of the female corpse in the World Games Park going?"

He had been busy with the poisoning case today and had not had time to ask about the progress.

"It's found out." Gan Yizu was drinking tea, and when he heard the sergeant's question, he quickly put down his teacup, "I went to the Exit and Entry Administration to check the entry photo. Her name is Kuang Lixia. She came to Hong Kong from Haicheng about half a year ago to do furniture business. She also has a branch in Haicheng. She is married and has two daughters."

Several people sat in the corner, and their voices were deliberately suppressed.

Shi Boren found it strange: "She has a husband and a daughter, why did she go to Gangcheng to do business alone? Wouldn't she miss her family?"

"When notifying the family, Kuang Lixia's husband cried very sadly." Gan Yizu couldn't help but sigh. Outsiders said that the serious crime team had seen all kinds of serious cases, and their hearts would become colder and colder. But he had been here for so long, and he still felt sad every time he saw the family members sad.

Luo Qizhong was playing with a cup next to him, and looked up thoughtfully: "What do you think, could Kuang Lixia have been killed by her husband?"

Zhou Fengxu nodded: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. Let's go to the furniture store tomorrow and find Kuang Lixia's colleagues to inquire about the situation."

Several people were talking about the case.

Chu Yueling did not join in the conversation. When the dishes were served, she decided to go home quickly after finishing the barbecue.

She squinted her eyes while eating, revealing a look of enjoyment.

It is said that the sirs are still very good at choosing places to eat.

Suddenly,

a person attracted her attention.

The man was wearing a white shirt and tie, walking drunkenly, staggering and almost hitting Chu Yueling. She quickly dodged to the left.

The man picked up the table, stood up again and walked to a table in front.

The light was dim, and the bottle of wine in the man's hand kept reflecting light.

Zhou Fengxu and Shi Boren looked at each other, and immediately stood up alertly. Before they could get closer, the man patted a young man sitting with his back to them at the door. The

young man looked up, and a wine bottle suddenly hit him.

The man pulled the shirt of the young man who was covering his head in pain. Veins popped out of his temples and he gritted

his teeth, "You bastard, you stole my customers and now you hide here to avoid the spotlight?" Half of the young man's face was soon stained with blood. He covered his wound and said in a daze, "Brother Lei, what do you mean by stealing customers? I don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't know?" The man's eyes widened. "I worked so hard to get the clients, and now they are all with you. How could you not know?"

"I really don't know." The young man was in a panic. "Brother Lei, don't get excited. I can explain the matter."

"Can you explain?" The man stretched out his hand and tried to grab the beer bottle. "I'll let you explain!"

"Don't move, police!"

The man's face changed drastically. He pushed the man away and staggered out.

Shi Boren wanted to chase him, but was stopped by the young man. He covered the wound from being hit, and blood flowed out from between his fingers.

"Sir, forget it. Brother Lei was fired by the company recently and he is in a bad mood."

Chu Yueqing looked at the man who had already run into the night. She didn't see the man's face during the whole process, but she felt strange about the black air surrounding him.

She asked her employees to prepare clean gauze. She was confused about why the young man chose not to pursue the matter after being beaten. "He hit you, and you are not going to hold him accountable?"

Koep covered his forehead, his face turned pale due to excessive blood loss. "Forget it, Brother Lei took me under his wing when I first joined the company, and it took a lot of his time. This bottle of wine is just a return to him."

An employee of Xu Ji came over in a hurry with a medical kit. Perhaps because he had seen too many people drinking and fighting in the food stalls, he was very familiar with the process. "Sir, please treat the wound with iodine first before going to the hospital."

Koep opened the medical kit and poured iodine on the wound. He simply disinfected it before getting up, returning the medical kit to the people of Xu Ji, and finally looking at the detectives.

He smiled bitterly and covered his forehead with gauze, "Thank you so much for your concern, officers. I'll go to the hospital to treat my wound first."

"Be careful, call the police anytime if you have any problem." Zhou Fengxu frowned as he looked at the wound that was still bleeding.

"Okay." Koep covered his head and slowly left.

Several people lost interest in eating.

Looking at the messy table, Zhou Fengxu went to grab the keys, "Everyone go back and have a good rest tonight, I'll take Xiaoxiao back first."

Chu Yuexiao picked up the plastic bag on the table and blinked strangely, "No need, can't we just take a taxi?"

"Not today." Zhou Fengxu explained, "Several intersections are blocked, and taxis can't get in and we have to walk a distance."

"Oh." Chu Yuexiao was tired after a day and was too lazy to walk, so she decided to hitchhike back.

Zhou Fengxu paid the bill, and the five of them walked out.

As soon as they walked out of the food stall, the mobile phone hanging on Shi Boren's chest rang. He pulled out the mobile phone and pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

Two minutes later, his expression became solemn.

Zhou Fengxu saw that his face was not right, so he opened the car door and asked, "What's up?"

"It's Madam's call." Shi Boren hung up the mobile phone and hung it back on the zipper of his coat. He didn't look good. "A female corpse was found at the ferry terminal. It was Team B who initially received the call. Now they have applied to their superiors to merge the cases, and Madam wants us to go to the scene to connect."

Merging the cases means that there are victims with the same death conditions.

Zhou Fengxu didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately got into the driver's seat and quickly fastened his seat belt. Seeing Chu Yueqing still standing beside him, he rolled down the window and said, "Get in the car, we'll go to the scene first and then take you home."

Chu Yueqing didn't waste any time and climbed into the back seat behind the three people who got in the car quickly . At

the Kowloon City Ferry Pier, the night was dark. A water police boat with flashing lights was anchored on the sea. The cordon was pulled up, and there were water police wearing hats cooperating with the people from the serious crime team to make a handover.

The windbreaker crossed the night sky, bringing up a gust of wind.

The leading man raised the cordon, and three people followed behind him one after another.

"Aren, Yizu, Uncle Zhong, do it."

"Yes, sir!" The three people said in unison.

Gan Yizu took out a small notebook and a ballpoint pen from his pocket and took over from his colleague who was in contact with the water police. He introduced himself to the water police.

"Hello, I'm CID detective Gan Yizu. Could you please tell me what the situation is like at the scene? How was the body found?"

The marine police immediately replied, "This is what happened. At 7:10 this evening, I was patrolling past the ferry terminal and found a suitcase floating on the sea. In order to avoid causing accidents to nearby fishing boats, I arranged to salvage it."

"The suitcase is very heavy, so heavy that it's unreasonable." So the marine police decided to open the suitcase. He was a little panicked at this time because he was a newcomer and had never come into contact with the bodies of victims at sea.

When the marine police saw the swollen and smelly body in the suitcase, he was really frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Open it and you'll find the body."

Zhou Fengxu put on the white gloves handed over by Shi Boren, took out a handkerchief to cover his nose, and walked to the wet body.

The place was filled with a fishy smell mixed with the stench of decay.

The face of the female corpse was covered by long hair, and her body was wrinkled by soaking. Unlike ordinary corpses, every joint was soft and pressed against the board, and the exposed swollen arms were also covered in bruises and bruises.

He could confirm at a glance that the method of death was exactly the same as the corpse in Sewun Park.

"Brother, is there any other evidence in the suitcase besides the female corpse?"

The marine policeman shook his head: "Except for the corpse, nothing else was found in the suitcase."

"No." Zhou Fengxu nodded. He stood up and put the handkerchief into his windbreaker pocket. He turned and walked towards the forensic doctor who had completed the preliminary autopsy at the dock and took off his gloves.

Although I have my own preliminary guesses, I still need help from professionals.

"Doctor Song, what's the condition of the body?"

Song Heng looked unhappy while smoking. Although he was a forensic doctor, he felt sad to see the victims with the same death method one after another. "The preliminary judgment is that the deceased was between 20 and 25 years old and died of mechanical asphyxiation. The joints of his whole body were also broken. Judging from the bruises on the wounds all over his body, the victim should have been repeatedly tortured in two weeks."

"Other clues need to be further dissected back at the institute."

"Understood." Zhou Fengxu stood to the side and looked at the moon reflected on the sea in the distance, then looked at Song Heng, "Thank you for your hard work. Please work overtime tonight."

The nature of serial murders is different. If they don't speed up, there is no guarantee that the next victim will appear and an innocent life will be lost.

The police's duty is to catch the murderer and save lives.

Song Heng laughed and shrugged, "It doesn't matter, I'm used to it. I hope the murderer can be caught as soon as possible."

Behind.

Chu Yuexing sat in the car and flipped through the newspapers she brought out.

Suddenly, the temperature in the air dropped by a few degrees.

She frowned, put down the newspaper and looked out the window, only to see a black aura rising into the sky at the dock, with faint signs of becoming a ghost.

"Click." She got out of the car, closed the door, and walked over.

The night sea breeze was a bit cold, and Chu Yuexing tugged at her coat.

Zhou Fengxu heard the voice and turned around, "Xingxing? Why don't you sit in the car?"

Chu Yuexing smiled, "Don't worry about me, come down and get some fresh air."

With that, she stayed outside the cordon and didn't go in.

Seeing that she had no intention of coming in, Zhou Fengxu discussed the case with Song Heng again.

A female ghost with a body twisted like a braid stretched out her hand to climb out of the suitcase, her pale face poking out from her black hair, and a pair of dead fish eyes staring at Chu Yuexing who had just arrived.

It made a roaring sound with difficulty, and its body moved on the wooden board like a worm. Its joints were broken, and it couldn't stand up even as a ghost.

Chu Yueling kept staring at it.

Finally, it confirmed that Chu Yueling could see, and panic suddenly slowly appeared on its weird and terrifying face.

As soon as Chu Yueling took a step, it moved like an octopus to hide under the deck outside the cordon.

It... was worried that it would scare Chu Yueling.

Chu Yueling could sense its emotions, squatted down, and reached out to knock on the wet deck, "Come out."

After a while.

The female ghost slowly poked her head out, and her white dead fish eyes showed strong resentment, and the sound of the machinery echoed in the night sky like a recorder.

"Revenge... Revenge."

Chu Yueqing rubbed her brows and saw through the ghost the scene of her brutal murder. It was chained and tortured day after day. Its bones were broken alive by a wooden stick. It took nearly half a month before it was smothered to death with a handkerchief.

She felt the ghost's chilling hatred and closed her eyes.

"Revenge... Revenge. Revenge... Revenge."

A fishy sea breeze blew over.

Chu Yueqing opened her eyes and stood up.

"I'll take your order."
