"Bang!"
"Don't move!"
"Public security team, put your hands up!"
"Hold your head with your hands!"
On the afternoon of June 5th, in the outer city, in the eastern part, in a house hidden at the end of a dark alley.
After a loud bang of kicking the door, Zhuang Mian and his security team broke into the basement that smelled of blood.
What greeted them was not fierce counterattack, nor the black market doctors running away in panic, but only corpses strewn all over the ground, with almost identical causes of death.
A security officer squatted down, remaining alert, and turned over the nearest corpse on the ground. It was a thin man who died with his eyes open. He skillfully reached out and pressed the man's chest and abdomen, confirming the touch and feeling the temperature of the skin.
"team leader."
He stood up and approached Zhuang Mian and reported:
"There is still residual heat. The time of death should be within two hours. The method can basically be confirmed to be the Mind Flayer."
Zhuang Mian's face looked very ugly. She nodded and gritted her teeth and ordered:
"Team one remains alert, team two investigates the scene."
The security team members dispersed and began to do what they were good at, for fear of angering the volcano that was about to erupt.
To be objective, they are indeed better at cleaning up the mess than tracking down criminals recently, especially after the appearance of the somewhat scary "Mind Flayer".
---
The story began at the end of March. At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary crime committed by a madman. After all, this kind of thing was too common in the eastern part of the outer city.
But there are always exceptions. The beginning of that incident was a bizarre case that was widely circulated internally - the "murder and flesh-stealing case."
It was about the night of March 31st in the 52nd year of Kaituo Calendar, when a madman massacred a small gang stronghold in the lower city, and in the end only took away a fresh beef leg.
Not to mention that the cow legs produced in the underground ranch in the inner city weighed a full 25 kilograms, which was indeed tempting. Just looking at Zhuang Mian's investigation, there were many problems.
After an investigation led by the experienced captain of the inner city district, the so-called "Brotherhood" was also called the "Seven Brotherhood". However, no matter how they searched at the crime scene, there were only five bodies. After identification by informants from the outer city district, it was confirmed that the missing were the second and third of the seven brothers.
In any case, both of them are highly suspected of committing the crime.
Two months later, the wanted orders for the second and third brothers had been replaced by new ones, but the two men seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and no one has ever seen them since.
Originally, the case was almost closed due to uneven distribution of the spoils. After all, although such a verdict sounded a bit outrageous, the security officers in Dongcheng District had long been accustomed to such bizarre things.
Even the animal trainer who trained the cat to steal dried fish was imprisoned with his cat. Dongcheng District has never been short of bizarre cases, and everyone believes that it will not be long before the "murder and meat case" will be made into a joke and spread like the previous classic cases.
But the demise of the Brotherhood Gang was like a starting gun. Two weeks later, when Zhuang Mian led a team to investigate and found out that this gang was connected to the black market for organ trading in the outer city, a race of investigation and killing quietly began.
That being the case, we have to mention the configuration of the security team that Zhuang Mian is in. There are a total of thirty people in the team. In addition to the two captains, one captain and one deputy captain, half of them are passionate young people who have just graduated and transferred here. When it comes to doing things, there is only one word to describe their approach - reckless!
As for the other half of the middle-aged team members, to put it nicely they are indistinguishable from the crowd, to put it bluntly they are pure scoundrels. Their years of hanging around in the eastern part of the outer city have made these people inextricably linked with the underground forces.
Things like taking a commission for reporting information or sharing the spoils have long been common. Even Zhuang Mian at this time needs to have a good relationship with these guys to get the information he wants.
In this inefficient investigation, time has come to mid-April.
The next day, the gang members related to the Brotherhood Gang that Zhuang Mian had worked so hard to target died.
Zhuang Mian investigated the whereabouts of a black market doctor, and the man died that night.
Zhuang Mian followed the casino owner, trying to find the person who had a direct line of contact with him, but the casino owner suddenly died while walking in front of her.
Zhuang Mian always felt that someone was secretly against him. The other party did not seem like a cold-blooded killer, but rather like a skilled tailor. Whenever Zhuang Mian caught a small thread of the secret net, a pair of sharp scissors would directly cut off the exposed guy.
The security captain who was exiled to the outer city was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night. The young captain, who was only 24 years old, was like an angry hedgehog recently. No one in the team dared to offend her.
As time went by, clues continued to be discovered, people in the downtown area continued to die, and the forensic department also issued autopsy reports on those victims.
The report showed that except for the first five gang members who died of fractures and severe blows, the cause of death of all the others was the same:
Heart dissection.
After cutting open the chest cavities of the corpses, the forensic doctors were shocked to find that the hearts in the chest cavities of all the lone victims were no longer in their original positions. The remaining space was always filled with blood and the hearts that had been completely removed.
But this heart...may not necessarily belong to the original owner.
Sometimes there is an animal's heart in the chest cavity, and sometimes there is a heart-shaped stuffed toy to maximize the contrast effect.
As for those guys who died in groups, the hearts in their chests always belonged to another companion present. Combined with the position of the bodies, it looked like...
