Chapter 170 The so-called elixir of life! Sacrifice ritual! Clues presented by the body!
Elixir of Life
What is the Elixir of Life?
As the name suggests, it is a drug that can keep you young forever, which is basically a kind of pursuit generated in the collective consciousness of all human beings.
The most obvious thing is that the myths of almost all countries contain descriptions of this aspect.
Like a drop of holy water, or some kind of prop that can allow people to obtain this seemingly useless thing.
Does it exist in the real world? Yes, but the efficacy is much worse than this kind of thing.
"Elixir of Life?"
"What is that?"
Li Jianye frowned.
"A potion extracted from human cubs through hellish means."
Xu Hao's heart sank and he clenched his hands unconsciously.
Can there be medicine on a human body? To be honest, many people may not have thought about whether a human body can be used as a medicine in traditional Eastern medicine.
Actually, it is possible.
Not only that, it was once very popular and enthusiastic! If you recall history carefully, you may not think of anything, but, if you say. 'Human blood steamed bun?'
Up to now, it has gradually become a metaphor for doing bad things.
But you have to know that these four words meant "statement" in ancient times.
It's a statement, not a metaphor!
Those people believed that human blood carried the essence of a person's life, and if one took it away and consumed it before the end of one's life span, one could gain that life span.
In some execution sites, when the prisoner's head is chopped off, someone in the audience may try to take the blood away.
Some people also bribed the executioner to sell blood or buy organs.
So, in the eyes of this kind of people, people = medicine.
And it is a very useful and highly effective medicine! "Dead people have blood, and blood contains the life span of young people."
"So, what about the child?"
In a trance, Xu Hao asked.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he took the lead and said:
"No, it can't be called adrenaline red. It's just a code name, a reference."
"Just think of this thing as adrenochrome for now."
The human body's adrenaline is a magical thing. If you are in a desperate situation, this thing may help you to fight back.
This thing can be regarded as an oxide of adrenaline and does not have any miraculous effects in itself.
It can even be synthesized artificially, and the purchase price is low enough.
From this perspective, if we exclude the marketing accounts, this thing is not a rare thing.
It has nothing to do with the elixir of life.
but!
However, young people can indeed keep aging away from older people.
In 1970, a Western team conducted an experiment.
The blood circulation of old mice was compared with that of young mice, and the results showed that the old mice were healthier, stronger, and smarter! The experiment was stopped for unknown reasons, and although the technicians involved claimed to know everything, it is estimated that they did not know much.
Overall.
This is an extremely vague combination of factors, which, when mixed together, happen to encounter some kind of refinement, and then have this strange anti-aging function.
Just like the alchemists of ancient times, they could create items like gunpowder by adding things randomly.
This is what is called adrenochrome.
It itself does not have any magical function; it is just the product of the oxidation of adrenaline.
However, after some factors are combined with other items, this kind of item is obtained.
And the ones who can carry this factor are children.
"Captain Li, the case of Sun Jian's processing plant."
"Did you find anything at the hospital?"
Xu Hao looked at Li Jianye.
Li Jianye paused, then his pupils shrank, as if he remembered something bad.
"Dead fetus and placenta"
He whispered.
Xu Hao nodded.
Dead babies and placentas from abortions are not considered human beings and have no human rights or laws. They are generally defined as 'medical waste'.
And since it is waste, it can be treated in any way you like.
Unless the family members have strong wishes, the management will not be too strict.
And precisely because it is not too strict, some people will cooperate with some people in the hospital who have no bottom line for money and purchase such items for a long time.
What's the point of buying a dead fetus?
First of all, we need to see how many types of people who buy are generally divided into.
One type is cosmetics institutions.
Some people will try to use the placenta or dead fetus from abortion, and it is said that the effect is surprisingly good, and the skin is generally as delicate as that of the baby.
The second category is this way.
What do we eat during Chinese New Year? Dumplings.
What's the filling for dumplings?
You can guess what the filling is.
The pursuit of this type of people is also the pursuit of appearance.
So here comes the question.
The behaviors of the two sides are different, but they pursue the same purpose and have the same goal.
That's... a child.
"If it is to produce drugs such as 'adrenochrome', it would require a ridiculous number of people."
"In this situation, people are no longer people, but just consumables. After all, the amount produced by each person is limited, and one day the production will be exhausted. Under such demands, human life will naturally not last long."
Xu Hao opened his mouth and spoke slowly.
After he finished speaking, everyone around him was silent, without a sound.
In fact, it’s not just modern.
This was true even in ancient times.
For example, the ginseng fruit tree, which brings immortality and eternal youth, has a fruit that looks like a child.
For example, the ginseng spirit, which is very nutritious when taken one mouthful, also looks like a baby after it becomes a spirit.
There is also the vampire culture prevalent in the West, whose targets are also young people.
In general, this concept was not established by modern medicine, but has existed since ancient times. No one knows when it started.
"Adrenochrome?"
The people around fell silent in an instant, only a few people couldn't hold back the chill in their hearts and began to murmur.
"Strictly speaking, this is not adrenochrome, but it is referred to as adrenochrome."
Xu Hao gave a considerate reminder, and now the people around him became even more silent.
This thing looks like a Lolita Island in the West, or some sex slave archipelago. It is very likely that they are doing this and then serving various dignitaries or celebrities.
Of course, there are also some on the east side, such as in Room N in Korea.
"Does this thing really work!?"
Li Jianye couldn't help it. His face was full of confusion. At this moment, he was like a traveler walking in the desert, not knowing where to go.
“Who knows if this thing will work.”
Xu Hao shook his head.
"Then why are you doing this!?"
Li Jianye was even more puzzled.
“I don’t even know if it’s going to work.”
"Captain Li, most skin care products are not as effective as going to bed early and getting up early, but that doesn't stop it from becoming one of the most profitable products in the 21st century."
"Health products are all scams. As long as they don't kill you, they're good medicines, but countless people have lost their fortunes to them."
"The police told the resident in front of them that the caller was a scammer, but as soon as the police left, the caller was scammed."
"There are many brainless people in this world, and there are not enough liars."
Xu Hao shook his head and spoke.
"The probability of mild mental retardation is a very scary number!"
"But it does not prevent some people with mild mental retardation from becoming rich, crossing the class line, or being admitted to a prestigious university."
Li Jianye was speechless, and so was Chu Linhai.
The police encounter more mildly mentally retarded people than anyone else, especially police officers, and it is simply annoying to deal with them.
Furthermore, "Captain Li, what do you think of superstition?"
Xu Huo suddenly changed the subject, shifting the discussion to another point.
"superstitious?"
Without waiting for Li Jianye to speak, Chu Linhai said:
“Naturally it is undesirable.”
"That's right, superstition is not acceptable, but does anyone believe in it?" Xu Hao asked again.
"Yes, and there are many."
"Does this include the rich?" Xu Huo asked again.
At this point, the people around were speechless and couldn't say anything in response.
Is it included? Of course it is included.
In Xu Huo's previous life, there was a man named "Dragon King" in the south-eastern part of the country. He was a famous master abroad.
If you are willing to search for the Dragon King's disciples and those who want to be his disciples, you will be surprised by the names.
In addition, many people in the entertainment industry use things like raising ghosts, Kumantong, and Yin amulets.
The most intuitive thing is that people in the harbor trust this even more.
Driving a pile, burial feng shui, house buying feng shui, that's what's used the most. Of course, if you think only ordinary rich people or small businessmen would do this. "Director Chu, Captain Li, you should know about the shipwreck incident in Korea."
Xu Huo said again.
Now, the two were completely silent.
What was the shipwreck in Korea? Nothing much, just a cruise ship that sank into the sea, causing hundreds of deaths.
It was a simple incident of death, but what if it happened regularly almost every once in a while? Moreover, the direct cause of death, the captain's shouting and the rescue personnel's operation were even more outrageous.
In addition, there is a club abroad that brings together the world's top businessmen and heads of various "societies".
In addition to enjoying themselves, they also hold "living sacrifice ceremonies" when they get together.
“Although there is no such thing in China.”
"But, who knows?"
Xu Hao said in a deep voice, and the hearts of the people around him were in their throats.
Chu Linhai's eyes darkened slightly. "Jiangsan City is on the coast, with docks and harbors, and well-developed transportation, so it's hard to find it."
“And it may not necessarily be in the country.”
The well-developed transportation means that it is very easy to get here.
Simple means messy personnel, and messy means difficult to check.
“It’s actually pretty easy to check.”
Xu Hao shook his head.
"First, assuming that the murderer is really a victim of such behavior, and that they can come to Jiangsan City, this rules out the option of being abroad."
The official management of customs is still very strict.
走过海关的应该都知道，就单纯从入口走到出口，里面要验证身份有多繁杂，其通道又有多长。
更别说，凶手还要带着一些动物。
“所以，国外这条选择消失。”
“初步估测，应该是国内的，但在国内哪个方向.”
徐嚯顿了顿，随即摇头。
“那就不知道了，如果都城用上个月封锁的警力来搜捕，持续个几个月，估摸着能查的一干二净。”
“但问题是，这本身就是不可能的.”
都城当初用的那些警力可谓是逆天了，什么大案都只是时间问题。
如果能用到这案子追查他们的来源上完全可以侦破。
可惜的是，投入的人力物力太大，并且短期内都城的警力会空虚，完全是不计代价的一种手段。
而且，这年头都城也是穷的叮当响，根本不可能使用这手法“难搞啊”
楚林海叹了口气，脑子里在思索对策。
良久，他道：“暂时没信息确定孩子被带去做了这种事。”
“但，大量孩子同时间消失，则已经证明了对方有能力有渠道同时间吃下这么多的量。”
“运人，跑路，金钱交易，这些都是线索。”
“先着手从人贩子拐卖渠道进行侦查，只要能揪出来一条线索就足够了。”
徐嚯点了点头，他倒是比较赞同这个方案。
“那就暂时先搜查人贩子的渠道。”
几人一拍即合，随即立马散开，开始负责各自领域内的事务。
人贩子的信息网，在自己内部往往比警方要清楚的多。
光是一个需要知道哪里有客户，以及联络渠道，便不是警方能比得上的。
所以.徐嚯和李建业暂时盯上了已被逮捕的几个人贩子。
此时，档案室内。
“需要怎么查？”
“查那些拐卖人数较多的？”
李建业翻着档案，看着上面的文件一个脑袋两个大。
“慢慢查吧。”
徐嚯叹了口气。
人贩子这件事本身就是很麻烦的为什么？首先，是地区限制，一个人在北方被拐，可能没几天就会出现在南方城市，两边横跨一千多近两千公里！这个距离警方怎么追查？
看监控？确实，看监控是个好办法。
但问题在于，警方查看监控也是有一定限制的！
‘执法权’，这三个字便是很好的解释，每个区域的执法权都是固定人员所负责。
被拐孩子当地的警方顺着监控查到另一个城市，需要与对方沟通，随后才能继续侦查。
之后是第三个城市，第四个城市一点点查，查到人生地不熟的地方，那时候时间已经拖到什么地步了？
这只是难查的其中一个因素，还是上一世徐嚯大街上遍地徐监控的情况下。
这年头都城都没几个监控.就更别想查了。
当然，倒也不是完全没有。
请...您....收藏_6_9_书_吧（六//九//书//吧）
“83年严打时间段的案例要看吗？”
李建业翻开几份尘封已久的文件袋，扫了几眼后看向徐嚯。
“档案室很多有关人贩子的档案都是那段时间抓到的。”
“这份有必要看吗？”
徐嚯沉思片刻，点了点头，“一块查吧。”
“主要筛选搜查的点定为，同一段时间大量购买孩子的例子。”
“好。”
李建业点了点头，开始枯燥无味的搜查。
针对人贩子，官方的打击力度其实很大。
这玩意是单个案子难查，但如果全国上下，所有人在自己地盘里都扫一遍，不求查案，只求抓人呢？
在二十年前就曾出现过一次。
嗯，那段时间人贩子几乎被打灭绝了，但问题在于没多久，人贩子又如野草一样，再次复苏，且愈发猖狂。
九十年代当街绑架，又或是夜晚入室偷人，这都是常有的事情。
所以，徐嚯上一世官方便在二十一世纪又开展了几次活动，一直持续到他和大运掰手腕惜败时，人贩子对比现在已经少之又少。
至于83年的档案有没有用说实话用处不大，毕竟案子从转账记录来看，是发生在两年前的。
而这些人在二十年前就被逮捕。
但话又说回来了。
人贩子的惩罚划分为多个档次，总会有几个被判的轻的，没多少年便出来继续为非作歹。
而渠道这玩意是不会废掉的，除非警方将整个人贩子的体系给一锅端。
所以，进去前有能力卖掉大量孩子，出来后，自然也有能力卖掉这么多，反正这玩意也不是什么技术活，队友不挑，问题只在联络网。
“张家虎，四十三岁，其团伙在半年内拐卖三十七人。”
恍惚间，李建业开口了，他看着徐嚯念出手里的档案信息。
“这人有嫌疑吗？”
徐嚯闻言，将注意力抬开，放在对方档案上。
他看了一会，随即摇头。
“人卖的不是孩子。”
人贩子也是分种类的。
有人专门卖孩子，也有人专门卖妇女。
男人呢？也有人卖，不要以为你是个成年男性就安全了！电诈，黑窑厂，这些可都需要成年男性！如果你运气不好，被抓去一些非法机构的试药厂.那可就倒大霉了。
当然，东国国内的药厂很老实，主要在于国外。
一些人会专门瞄准外出旅游的，因为这类人消失了官方很难查的到。
再加上那边的药厂各种试药单纯的医疗药品？不是，之前在都城说过，吗啡、止痛药这类能让人上瘾的也是药。
所以，毐这玩意，也是需要有人试的。
别说吸了，这玩意你碰到一辈子就毁了！戒掉？
根据戒毐所的统计来看，哪怕你戒掉了，也有百分之九十九点九九的概率会选择复吸！
所以，成年人被拐走，往往遭受到的生命威胁要比孩子大的多！只不过被拐的概率小而已。
而李建业给出的这份档案，拐的人则是.“一些残疾人？”
徐嚯看着受害者对面名单，顿时面露咂舌。
“难怪拐了这么多人还能活下来”
拐的是智力残缺的成年人，也就是俗称的傻子。
他是以中介的身份拐的，利用这类人想找工作养活自己的心理，卖给黑窑厂，算是变相的钻法律空子，导致被判罚不算特别严重。
曾经就有一位伟大的记者人。
对方便伪装成傻子，抽地上的烟头，吃泔水，潜入黑窑厂卧底，遭受到极苦的磨难，拯救出了许多智力残缺的人。
“找和孩子有关的。”
徐嚯摇摇头，将档案塞回原位。
思索片刻，他合拢手上的档案，看向李建业。
“赵警督那边有线索了吗？”
“赵水？”
李建业思索片刻，道：“我去问问。”
言罢，便走向了远处，开始拨打起电话。
赵水还负责了大山助学网中，那些孩子和家长之间的走访。
同时和老师配合，调查凶手的踪迹，目前时间过去了几个小时，多少会有点消息。
果不其然，李建业看向徐嚯点了点头。
“刚得到的信息，目前整理成了文件，我们去办公室找他。”
“不过这些信息没有现实铁证加持，可信度并未拉满。”
“有线索就够了。”
徐嚯也不嫌弃，当即便和对方整理完档案，随后向办公室走去。
在司法体系中，一般要用到人证物证，其中人证的占比因素幅度很大。
因为它要结合警方的逻辑链以及物证线索来推断真实程度。
否则，但凡无法验证，警方还听取了这件事.那会对案子造成不可挽回的影响！如果是作用在法庭上，假人证还会导致他人蒙冤受难。
而赵水带回来的.“我们瞄定了赵山的最后一次交易的时间点，再加上孙玉慧的口供，我们找到了一个人。”
赵水早已在办公室等候，看到徐嚯后也没寒暄便开口将信息说出。
同时，手里还掏出一幅画像。
这是由画像师画出的画像，素描，但脸部却很清晰。
“这是个中年男人，几乎每隔一段时间就会来一次线下的助学网。”
“对方外貌很好，长相端正，身穿西装，名为司马空，从赵山的描述来看，对方是个富商。”
“我们根据孙玉慧给出的信息搜查，却并未在档案中找到这人，初步猜测给的是假身份。”
“同时操着一串外地口音，很明显非本地人，再加上来的次数很多，每次来后都会有几个孩子消失，所以我们将目光瞄在了他身上。”
“不出意外，如果能查到这个人，本案将能展开抓捕！”
“但问题在于”
说着，赵水顿了顿，指着这张画像师画下的画。
“你们看，这张脸像谁？”
这张脸.李建业眉头一凝，这张素描像他看起来总觉得很眼熟，好像在哪见过。
在.哪呢？
“死者五人之一！”
恍惚间，徐嚯突然开口，让周围的李建业一惊，随即瞳孔猛缩。
对了，死者一共五个人，其中三人身份确认，另外两人身份无法搜查。
而这两个身份成谜的，其中一人.赫然和画像上的人面照一模一样！“坏了.”
Li Jianye's heart sank.
"The murderer was too eager for revenge and effectively cut off the police's search line."
At present, the police have only found Sima Kong, and apart from him, there is no one else who can contact the gang behind him.
Now that he has been killed in advance by the murderer, this has invisibly increased the difficulty of the search.
But "in some ways, it's good news."
After much thought, Xu Huo decided to start from the side. "Sima Kong's behavior, temperament, and foreign dialect are consistent with some of the conditions of the personnel of the 'elixir of life' that were previously speculated."
"In a sense, it can increase the authenticity of the previous guess."
"At the same time, we can also confirm that the murderer's reason for killing people is indeed related to human trafficking!"
"Although the clues are broken, it is a good thing to be able to verify the previous speculation."
No one knew which was the real clue or the false clue, but now everyone understood.
Although this news is depressing.
But at least now we don't have to work by guessing, but have a very solid foundation on which we can conceive and deduce.
"How's Chen Jin's investigation going?"
Xu Huo suddenly spoke again, "The source of his startup capital is unknown. It is difficult for a human trafficker to accumulate a million-dollar fortune just by selling people."
"I now suspect that he might be of the same nature as Sima Kong, but he has cleaned up his act and come out of hiding."
"Go check the company personnel who got up early and followed him. Maybe we can get some information from them."
Zhao Shui nodded, but there was still disappointment in his eyes.
It is too depressing to finally find a clue, only to turn around and find that the person involved has already died.
The most important question is "What's wrong with you?"
After Li Jianye watched Zhao Shui leave, Xu Hao suddenly fell into deep thought, and then a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"I'm thinking, assuming that it's the same as the previous inference, the abducted children were indeed used for something."
"This thing is definitely not about enjoying happiness, it means suffering."
“Suffering is torture.”
"But how did the torture take place?"
A form of torture. Li Jianye paused.
Indeed, there are many ways in which a person can feel pain.
Beat you or mentally abuse you.
But, all in all, the police currently do not know what method the murderer used. Even the so-called elixir of life is just a guess.
If we can know that, "we can get the other party's information in reverse, and then we can speed up the case!"
Xu Hao spoke.
Li Jianye understood.
This is equivalent to assigning a nature to the case.
As long as the nature of the case is determined, the limited police force can be poured in, followed by an orderly search.
It’s a pity that they don’t know what kind of torture the other party has inflicted on the murderer.
Beating is torture, and insulting is also torture.
But the other party will definitely not only use this most conventional method. If not, then they will have to break the bottom line of humanity.
How can ordinary people think of the bottom line of human beings! ? To be honest, if ordinary people give directions to others, they will feel guilty for a long time when they find out that they gave the wrong directions.
Not to mention figuring this thing out.
Human beings can never imagine things beyond the scope of their own knowledge!
"By the way, where is Chaozi!?"
In a trance, Xu Hao suddenly thought of Wang Chao.
"What's wrong? Wang Chao is still in the hospital for further observation." Li Jianye asked subconsciously, and then responded quickly.
"Torture, psychological torture is never direct enough."
"This thing often only manifests itself on the body, which means physical torture!"
"But physical torture will inevitably show up on the body. Just like when I scold you, no one else can see it, but when I punch you, others will definitely see the black corners of your eyes and know that you've been beaten!"
In a trance, an extremely tricky angle came out of Xu Hao's mouth.
"We can completely infer the form of torture the murderer has suffered based on the physical body, and then judge who the murderer is based on this form!"
Li Jianye paused and thought subconsciously.
This angle is usually useless.
Because, if the murderer was seen, why didn't they just arrest him? If they did, then there would be no need to guess, they could just torture him.
But for now, it is very useful for this case.
No one in the police force had ever seen the killer.
But Wang Chao has seen it!
Not only had he seen it, he had seen it very clearly and even had close contact with a monkey!
Thinking of this, Li Jianye seemed to have been enlightened.
"yes!"
"Go find Chaozi!"
Xu Hao no longer hesitated, quickly stood up and walked out.
As long as Wang Chao tells us everything he saw in detail, the case will be solved! But what did the murderer do? The family of the deceased has not appeared yet. It is obvious that the murderer will not let them go. This kind of hatred of exterminating the whole family. What did the other party do to the deceased? If the effect is on appearance, then the appearance of the murderer Thinking of this, Xu Hao narrowed his eyes and recalled what Wang Chao said he saw at the first crime scene.
Monkey trainers, drugged monkeys, gorillas, human centipedes. Thinking of this, Xu Hao lost his temper.
It's useless to think about anything now. As long as I have a detailed discussion with Wang Chao in this direction, it will be much more useful than thinking on my own!
"Walk."
“Go to the hospital!”
Maybe we will know the truth of this case later! (End of this chapter)
