Feng Jianxiong's single-level apartment!
With anticipation, Shen Ting opened the rice cooker in the kitchen, only to find it completely empty!
There was no food, nor anything he was looking for.
Xu Xin opened the refrigerator and immediately gasped in shock:
"Shen Ting, come and see."
There are...internal organs in the refrigerator!
Shen Ting was startled and turned to look.
Indeed, some internal organs were piled up in the upper crisper compartment of the refrigerator.
They were all wrapped in plastic bags.
They are all brownish-black in color and have a relatively hard texture.
It's clearly not fresh; it's been braised with seasonings.
"Is he a victim?"
"I think so!"
Xu Xin pointed to the top layer of the refrigeration area.
The organs piled on top are clearly in the shape of livers.
Shen Ting was also somewhat unsure.
After taking the photo, he uploaded it directly to the crime-solving group.
Shen Ting: "Look at these livers, are they human?"
Hannibal: "Definitely not, the size is wrong."
An adult liver weighs between 1.2 and 1.5 kilograms.
Some of the livers in front of me are too large; even after being braised, they still exceed this weight.
When fresh, it must weigh more than two kilograms.
Some were too small; after braising, they weighed less than a pound, which was far too little.
The structure is wrong too!
The human liver, according to the Couinaud classification, can be divided into five lobes and eight segments.
The larger liver in the refrigerator is divided into four lobes and eight sections.
Moreover, the connective tissue between the liver lobes is more prominent.
The way blood vessels branch and bile ducts converge is also different from that in humans.
I believe the larger liver is a pig's liver.
The smaller livers likely came from other small animals.
Qin Ming then labeled the several small livers with serial numbers:
"Liver number one has six lobes."
The caudate lobe has a unique structure, connecting to the main body of the liver through a narrow, rod-like section.
Judging from its size and shape, it should be from a rabbit.
The second liver has seven lobes, including a single papillary lobe, and should belong to a dog.
The third liver is a single-lobed structure, resembling a slender spindle.
A snake's liver usually looks like this...
Qin Ming examined them one by one and quickly confirmed that all the livers came from animals.
The same applies to the other internal organs and structures below.
They differ from humans in some subtle ways and in others in obvious ways.
"None of them are human?"
If all these internal organs came from humans, Shen Ting might be horrified.
But none of them were human, which only made Shen Ting more suspicious.
after all!
What normal person would cook so many animal organs and put them in the refrigerator?
He opened the freezer compartment below, and surprisingly, there was even less inside.
It has almost no internal organs!
There was only a little sea cucumber and shrimp.
Shen Ting felt even more confused.
He inspected the entire kitchen but found nothing suspicious.
Just as he was wondering, a police officer suddenly shouted:
"This is the entrance to the attic."
There seems to be something up there.
Shen Ting and the others went over immediately.
Here is a pull-down folding ladder.
It leads directly to the attic above!
One of the forensic investigators had already climbed the folding ladder, with most of his body inside the attic.
Below, Shen Ting, who was helping to hold the ladder, could clearly feel the folding ladder swaying.
It swayed along with the trembling legs of the trace evidence examiner.
"What's wrong?
What's up there?
Jiang Bingquan frowned and asked.
The sound of trace evidence examination is dry:
“There are… corpses, lots and lots of corpses.”
So many corpses?
The officers below were all taken aback.
We've searched the area downstairs, but haven't found anything.
Could it be that Feng Jianxiong hid all his belongings in the attic?
"Xiao Jiang, hurry up and go up!"
"Don't hogging the ladder."
"You little rascal, you better hold back, don't scare the director so much you'll pee your pants, hehehe."
...
The investigator blushed and quickly climbed up to the attic.
He didn't dare to look too closely. After using the equipment to confirm the safe passage, he let the people below come up.
Shen Ting noticed that almost every technician who entered the attic shuddered.
There must be something up there.
After the necessary technical personnel finished their work, Shen Ting went upstairs first.
The moment his head popped up onto the attic, his eyes narrowed.
At first glance, the most obvious thing is all kinds of bottles and jars.
It was filled with liquid, which contained the carcasses of various animals.
Some were intact, while others were dissected and torn apart.
The color turned grayish-white, possibly due to prolonged soaking.
Common animals include cats, dogs, rabbits, sparrows, snakes, and so on.
There are also many less common ones, and Shen Ting can only judge their general type by their shape.
The head of some kind of ape.
A lizard with a unique appearance.
It looks a bit like an earthworm, but a longer and larger red worm.
An unidentified bird with brightly colored feathers, sealed in a specimen box.
...
Once Shen Ting went up to the attic, he saw even more.
There was a bookshelf against the wall, piled high with dried animal carcasses.
Many of the corpses were covered with mold spots, some yellow, some green, and some white.
This gave the air in the entire attic a distinct musty smell.
Besides the musty smell, there was also a distinct aroma of cooked offal, as well as a putrid stench.
Shen Ting searched for the source of the scent and discovered that the rich fragrance was coming from the table next to the bookshelf.
There are two large-capacity rice cookers on top.
The keep-warm button is flashing red.
Shen Ting stepped forward and opened the lid, releasing a burst of steam.
The aroma of offal and spices wafted out at the same time.
But when Shen Ting glanced inside the bladder, he felt nauseous.
He saw livers, with brown brine floating with oil and spices.
Five Leaves Eight Pieces!
