Chapter 77
"Mr. Chen, what's the matter? Why are you so serious?"
After Lin Jianyi and Chen Shazhan entered the office, they made a joke.
Chen Shazhan had no smile on his face. He crossed his hands and placed them on the table. "Jianyi, did you know that the police station is planning to destroy a batch of drugs recently?"
Lin Jianyi was stunned for a moment, and said, "I heard that the amount of drugs they plan to destroy this time is not small?"
"Yes, the police department is planning to invite reporters to film this. The drugs being destroyed were confiscated in recent years, totaling 5,000 kilograms, with a value of at least 80 million."
The data Chen Shazhan uttered shocked Lin Jianyi.
He knew that the anti-drug team had gained a lot in the past few years, but he didn't expect it to be 5,000 kilograms: "Isn't this a good thing? Chen Shazhan, is there something wrong?"
"You are quite conspicuous. According to the plan, the drugs were supposed to be sent to the processing station for centralized destruction yesterday. But before they were sent there, someone accidentally discovered that 200 kilograms of drugs had been replaced with laundry detergent!"
At this point, Chen Shazhan's face twisted a little. "Those drugs have always been under police control. Needless to say, there must be a traitor inside. But the most important thing now is that we must get these drugs back. Otherwise, if the news of these 200 kilograms of drugs being swapped gets out, the Hong Kong police will lose face."
indeed.
According to normal logic, the gangsters who got the drugs should honestly and quietly cash in the drugs, but now the gangsters in Hong Kong are very arrogant, and someone might be stupid enough to expose this matter to embarrass the police.
Moreover, drug dealers have the deepest hatred towards the police, so it is not impossible for them to do such a thing.
"Sir, I know this matter is urgent, but are you telling me this because you want me to find the drugs?"
Lin Jianyi was very clear-headed. He was just an ordinary policeman. In cases like this, the serious crime squad and the anti-drug squad would usually work together, or the assault squad would be used. There was no need for him.
"No, this time someone above me wants to take an unconventional approach."
Chen Shazhan stood up, walked to Lin Jianyi, and patted Lin Jianyi on the shoulder. "Jianyi, Master Gu has been very famous recently, and she has helped our police solve many cases before. I hope you can ask the master to find the whereabouts of the drugs. As for the other things, we will take over."
"no."
To Chen Shazhan's surprise, Lin Jianyi shook his head and refused without even thinking.
Chen Shazhan was stunned. He looked at Lin Jianyi, crossed his arms, and leaned against the table. "Jianyi, I know you feel that doing this is embarrassing for our police, but things are urgent, and we have to learn to adapt to the situation."
"Sir, you misunderstood. That's not my concern. No matter how powerful Master Gu is, she is just an ordinary citizen. It's fine for her to cooperate with our police in handling other cases, but as a police officer, I shouldn't involve citizens in drug-related incidents."
Lin Jianyi's attitude was surprisingly firm. "You should all know that drug dealers are inhumane. They will even find the families of drug enforcement officers they protect and kill them in revenge. Gu Xicao is just an ordinary person. Please find someone else for this case."
After saying this, Lin Jianyi saluted the stunned Chen Shazhan, turned around, closed the door and walked out.
Chen Shazhan was originally full of anger, but after looking at the closed door for a long time, he sighed helplessly.
I'm afraid there's something else behind Lin Jianyi's words.
His father was a member of the anti-drug team. After he was shot dead by drug dealers, the police put him and his mother under protection. However, they did not expect that the drug dealers were so cruel that they took Lin Jianyi hostage and forced his mother to go.
When the police arrived at the scene, Lin Jianyi's mother had already died. Lin Jianyi stayed in the hospital for three months before he could speak.
"Brother Yiqi, why do you look so bad?"
Sun Zhaogan came over with the phone and asked Lin Jianyi.
Lin Jianyi shook his head, suppressing the hatred and anger in his heart, "Nothing, why are you holding a phone?"
"Oh, Miss Gu called the police and asked us to come over."
Sun Zhaogan finally remembered the serious matter and hurriedly spoke to Lin Jianyi.
"Call the police? What's the matter?" Lin Jianyi quickly took the handcuffs from the desk and put them on, then asked Sun Zhaogan as he walked.
This time, no one except Gu Xicao knew about the police report.
Today's episode was actually recorded in advance, because Zhou Yilin and Master Miaokong both have things to do next week and are not available, so the program crew discussed and decided to record an episode in advance.
In order to improve the show’s effect, the production team set their sights on a famous haunted house in Mong Kok.
It just so happened that there was a staff member on the program crew named Lao Zheng who lived opposite the haunted house.
He led everyone to the haunted house and pointed to the house behind him and introduced: "This house has not been occupied for about ten years."
Xu Yiyang asked the cameraman to point the camera at the house. "No one has ever lived here. Why? This place is not too remote. How could no one live here? Where is the owner?"
"The owner disappeared more than a decade ago," said Lao Zheng. "At the time, I was a neighbor to them and we looked after each other. But one time, there was a typhoon signal number 3 and we all hid at home. Some people said that the family went out that day for some reason and there was no news since then."
The house is a bungalow with a yard. The yard is overgrown with grass and trees, and the ground is covered with fallen leaves.
Xu Yiyang walked forward and pushed the door open, only to find that the iron door was not locked.
She just pushed the door easily and it opened.
But the creaking sound of the iron door opening was a bit creepy.
"Amitabha, why would this family go out during a typhoon when they are fine?"
Master Miaokong followed him in, looked around, and asked in confusion.
Lao Zheng touched his nose and said, "We don't know that either. If I had seen them leaving the house at that time, I would have stopped them."
"Then why do you say this place is haunted?"
Gu Xicao walked to the door of the bungalow before turning around and asking Lao Zheng.
Old Zheng said, "That's because since that incident, neighbors in this house have said every now and then that they saw Lao Qi and his family coming back. Some people even heard screaming and crying coming from here in the middle of the night. In short, it was really scary."
"Screaming, crying, are they real or fake?"
Xu Yiyang was a little curious.
She was skeptical about the stories of ghosts and gods.
Lao Zheng waved his hand and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask some neighbors to come over and ask."
The entrance was already crowded with neighbors who came to watch the fun.
These people usually walk around the haunted house, but today, when they saw a program crew coming here to film, they all came over, perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps because they thought that more people would mean more energy.
Seeing this, Xu Yiyang also thought that this was a better idea, so he walked over and asked a few neighbors.
"Yes, we really heard a woman crying in this room one night. She was crying so loudly that it was scary." When an uncle saw the host interviewing him, he couldn't wait to tell them what they knew.
The grandmother was not to be outdone: "That's right, we have all seen shadows in this house from time to time. It was my grandson who saw it. He got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and saw someone walking around in this house. When he told us the next day, our whole family was terrified. If we hadn't been so broke, we would have wanted to move out."
Gu Xicao came over and asked, "Mother-in-law, where is your home?"
"It's right over there. That's our home." The housewife pointed to the two-story building diagonally opposite and said.
Gu Xicao looked in the direction of her finger, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"From the direction of the house over there, we can indeed see the situation of this house." Xu Yiyang said: "Masters, how about we go inside and take a look to see if it is really haunted?"
Huang Linxiang had some cold sweat on his forehead, but he didn't dare to say no, so he looked at Gu Xicao and said, "You don't need to ask me, ask Master Gu. She's just a little girl, I'm afraid she doesn't have the courage."
Gu Xicao smiled and said, "Why would I be afraid? If you want to go, let's go in together. But I don't think this place is haunted."
After she said this, she took the lead and walked into the bungalow.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. If it wasn't a ghost, then what was going on?
The bungalow is quite spacious, with two bedrooms and a living room. The living room in the middle is particularly large, and the kitchen is in the northwest corner.
The furnishings in the room were old-fashioned wooden tables and chairs, which had long since decayed and were covered with spider webs due to their age.
As soon as they came in, everyone smelled an unpleasant fishy odor.
The smell is so strong that it makes people feel nauseous.
Xu Yiyang couldn't help but cover his nose and waved his hands, "Strange, why does this room smell so bad?"
"Of course, Miss Xu, where there are ghosts there is a special stench."
Huang Linxiang had already come in, so he wanted to show off and demonstrate his abilities.
He narrowed his eyes, looked around, and finally walked to the window of the living room and waved to everyone, "Come here, there is blood here."
When everyone heard this, they hurried over.
There was a dark red mark on the ground below the window. Xu Yiyang wanted to bend down to touch it, but Gu Xicao stopped him, "Miss Xu, I think you better not touch it."
"Why?"
Xu Yiyang knew that Gu Xicao must have a reason for saying that, but she still had to ask one more question when doing the show.
"Because this is indeed human blood."
Gu Xicao said.
Everyone's face became serious and tense.
Although Huang Linxiang kept saying that Gu Xicao was a little girl, everyone in the program crew knew that Gu Xicao was much more capable than others.
"This is strange." Old Zheng said in amazement: "After Old Qi's family disappeared, no one came to this house again. How could there be human blood?"
Gu Xicao was about to speak when the sound of a police car siren was heard outside - bibubibu.
At first, no one thought much of it. After all, the sound of police cars could be heard every now and then. But when they heard the noise coming from outside, someone asked, "That's weird. Why are the police coming to this haunted house?"
Everyone then realized that the police car was heading for this house.
Xu Yiyang was puzzled and hurriedly brought people out. Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan got out of the car with a group of policemen.
"Sir, we are recording a show here. This is also a haunted house. We are not good at residential houses."
Xu Yiyang was afraid that the police would come to cause trouble, so he went over to deal with them with a smile.
It is common in Hong Kong these days for some policemen to take advantage of their positions to ask for small amounts of money.
If you can use money to get rid of it, that would be great.
"We came here because someone called the police and reported a murder case."
Lin Jianyi put his hand on the gun holster beside him and looked around at everyone with a sharp look.
He was in a bad mood right now, which was naturally very different from his usual friendly state. I was afraid that even the neighbors in Ziwei Building would not dare to approach him when they saw Lin Jianyi like this.
"Call the police? Who should call the police?" Xu Yiyang was confused.
Gu Xicao raised her hand: "It's me."
"You? Master Gu, is there anything you need to call the police about?" Xu Yiyang's heart tightened, thinking to himself, could there really be a murder in this haunted house?
"I want to report Zheng Dapao for killing the owner of this house and his family. He has committed crimes over the years and has killed at least ten people."
Gu Xicao pointed at Lao Zheng with a serious expression.
Old Zheng was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan exchanged glances with each other. The two of them came up from the left and right and lifted up Old Zheng's hands and twisted them behind his back.
Old Zheng grimaced in pain, and cursed in anger: "Master, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I kill someone? And you policemen, are you crazy? You believe whatever she says?"
"Yes, Master, Lao Zheng is usually very honest and works very seriously,"
Seeing that Lao Zheng was at a disadvantage, the other members of the program team couldn't help but feel a little sorry, and hurriedly came out to explain, "He is alone and has two jobs. How could such a person be a murderer?"
Gu Xicao said, "Whether he is a murderer or not is not up to you to decide. Sir Lin, can you please ask your men to dig these places with shovels? I think the bones of the bodies are buried here."
The direction of her finger happened to be where everyone was standing.
When everyone saw her pointing towards the yard, they all moved away, regardless of whether they believed it or not.
"Also, there should be a lot of bloodstains in the house. Please send someone in to check." Gu Xicao said, pointing to the house.
Lin Jianyi realized that the matter might be really serious. Without saying a word, he asked Sun Zhaogan to handcuff Lao Zheng first, and then asked his colleagues from the forensic department to go in and investigate. He and a few other guys took the shovels they brought and started digging.
As Lin Jianyi and others continued to dig, Lao Zheng was sweating profusely.
He gave Gu Xicao a vicious look.
Xu Yiyang saw this and was startled. He hurried to Gu Xicao's side and asked in a low voice, "Master Gu, is this Old Zheng really a serial killer?"
"It can't be wrong."
Gu Xicao said, "I once heard someone say that murderers are eager to return to their crime scenes in order to see their achievements and to see other people's fear and terror. In a haunted house like this, most people don't have time to hide. Old Zheng lives across the street. Others are families and it's hard for them to move, but he lives alone. He can't choose where to live. Why hasn't he moved in more than ten years? And he took the initiative to introduce us to it. If you think about it carefully, there are doubts everywhere."
Yes.
After hearing what Gu Xicao said, Xu Yiyang suddenly understood why he felt strange before.
The neighbors who came to watch the fun hid at the door and didn't dare to go in. They were afraid of bad luck or that there really were ghosts.
Old Zheng kept saying that the house was haunted, but how could he be so bold as to act as a guide for them?
bite--
The shovel hit something hard, making a crisp sound.
Lin Jianyi had sharp eyes and quickly saw that it was a thigh bone. He quickly asked someone to put down the shovel, put on gloves and carefully dug up the dirt.
A pale corpse appeared in front of everyone.
Zhou Yilin and others couldn't help but gasp, feeling a chill running from their heels to the back of their heads.
"There really are corpses?!"
Master Miaokong’s face turned pale. He closed his eyes, held the rosary and chanted Buddha’s name continuously.
The crowd outside was in an uproar, and the number of onlookers kept increasing.
Corpses were dug out one after another. The yard, which was already desolate and gloomy, became even more terrifying.
Even the bravest man would be so frightened that his face would turn pale and his legs would tremble.
"Thirteen bodies."
Lin Jianyi and others almost turned the entire yard upside down, and when the corpses were laid out in front of everyone, the police were horrified.
"Mr. Lin, there is blood everywhere in the house!"
The forensic scientist ran out panting and said with a pale face. He had just finished saying this when he saw corpses all over the yard. He was so stimulated that he vomited.
"Thirteen lives, all of which were taken by you!"
All the blood in Lin Jianyi's body rushed to his head. He strode up to Lao Zheng and grabbed him by the collar.
Lao Zheng's face was originally gloomy, but at this moment he suddenly smiled.
"Sir, I'm also scared to find so many bodies in this haunted house, but you can't wrongly accuse a good person. I'm innocent. These bodies might have been killed by Lao Qi's family. Maybe they killed someone more than ten years ago and ran away."
"Impossible, some of these bodies are from recent years, the time doesn't match!" Lin Jianyi is not someone who can be fooled.
Although he is not in the forensic department, he is still familiar with this knowledge.
"Then I don't know. Please don't pull me like this, otherwise I will sue you for assaulting a citizen." Lao Zheng said arrogantly.
"Mr. Lin, there's something wrong with these corpses." A colleague couldn't help but come over and said.
Lin Jianyi looked at the colleague, left Lao Zheng behind, walked to the body, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The colleague hesitated for a moment and whispered, "There are too many cuts, slashes, and slashes on these bodies. No, something is not right. I'm afraid it's not just a murder case."
When Lin Jianyi heard this, he turned around and looked at his colleague in surprise.
He quickly bent down and reached out to examine the bodies.
Just as my colleague said, the corpses were covered with marks of various sizes from chopping, smashing, cutting and burning.
He couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
Like thunder and lightning, he turned his head and looked at Lao Zheng, his eyes full of bloodshot, "You not only killed people, you also dismembered them. Where did their flesh go?"
This sentence made everyone's head buzz.
What is the flesh on the body? Where has it gone?
Xu Yiyang's hair stood on end. She grabbed a colleague and asked, "What is Lao Zheng responsible for in our program group?"
The colleague was stunned for a moment before he regained his consciousness, "He, he makes props."
Props.
That's fine.
Xu Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Xu Yiyang could completely put his mind at ease, his colleague said in a tearful voice, "But Lao Zheng still sells his own meat buns, and many people at the TV station have patronized him."
As soon as the three words "Meat Buns" came out, the staff of the program crew were all upset.
Everyone vomited continuously.
Xu Yiyang didn't know whether to cry or laugh. In order to look good on camera, she had been on a diet. Even the working meals provided by the program crew were mostly vegetables.
But I escaped because of this.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know anything at all."
Old Zheng was still stubborn. He held his neck high and said, "If you have the guts, find evidence and sue me."
"You!" Lin Jianyi and others were very angry.
Even if you are not a policeman, as a human being, who would not be angry when seeing such a social scum being so smug?
"Do you really think there is no evidence to sue you?"
Gu Xicao looked at Lao Zheng, "You were so smart that you used human flesh as stuffing to make meat buns and sold them to your neighbors and colleagues. You thought that by doing so you could destroy the evidence, but have you ever thought that in this day and age, not everyone will eat the buns they buy, especially many elderly people. It is common for them to buy things and keep them in the refrigerator for a year or two."
A bit of panic flashed across Lao Zheng's eyes. "I, I don't know what you are talking about. If you have the guts, go and produce evidence."
Gu Xicao ignored him and looked at Lin Jianyi, "Go ask these neighbors. I think some of them must still have the meat buns they bought before frozen at home. That's enough evidence."
Without saying a word, Lin Jianyi immediately turned around and asked the neighbors.
When those people heard that Lao Zheng used human flesh to make meat buns, their faces turned pale. A few of them hurriedly said that they did have some at home, and Lin Jianyi personally followed them to get it.
When he saw the meat buns brought back, Lao Zheng's face changed.
Gu Xicao looked at him, sneered, and said to Lin Jianyi: "Also, you can search his house. Under his bed are the victims' belongings. With these two pieces of evidence, I don't believe it's not enough to convict him!"
"You gossipy woman, what does this have to do with you? You are such a meddlesome person! You will never have a good death!"
Old Zheng was sweating profusely, angry and humiliated, and struggled to pounce on Gu Xicao.
Without saying a word, Lin Jianyi grabbed Lao Zheng's shoulders, bent his knees and slammed Lao Zheng's abdomen. The pain made his face turn green and he knelt on the ground weakly.
Lin Jianyi looked down at Lao Zheng and said, "You have killed so many people. You are simply a social bug. You are the one who deserves a miserable death! Take him away!"
He waved his hand, and Sun Zhaogan withdrew his gaze in shock, and hurriedly escorted Lao Zheng to the police car with two colleagues.
As they walked, the colleague whispered to Sun Zhaogan, "That's strange. Brother Yiqi usually has a good temper, so why is he so angry today? This is the first time I've seen him be so violent to a prisoner."
"No way," Sun Zhaogan knew that Lin Jianyi was in trouble today, but he still helped him to whitewash the situation. "It's this punk who is too inhumane. Not to mention that Brother Yiqi wants to beat him, even I want to beat this punk to death!"
