Chapter 489: Meng Yanchuan: Words Unspoken (Extra 1)

Ever since Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que got married, Meng's mother began to pay attention to the life-long affairs of her other four sons.

Of course, the focus is on the third brother who exudes a lonely temperament.

Meng Yanchuan's job is relatively special, and he usually comes into contact with various corpses.

Meng's mother also discovered that the third child liked to study anatomy not only at work but also at home.

On this day, Meng Yanchuan, who had not been home for half a month, returned home from work late at night.

As soon as I got up the stairs, I bumped into Meng Tinglan who was coming down the stairs in a panic.

"What are you doing rushing downstairs in the middle of the night?" Meng Yanchuan adjusted his glasses, a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Meng Tinglan held the phone in his hand, and the call status was displayed on the screen.

"Third brother, you're back just in time. Shushu called and said that she dug up a lot of human bones on the land she just bought."

Hearing this, Meng Yanchuan frowned, feeling a little strange: "Found it in the middle of the night? Did you call the police?"

Qiao Shu's voice came from the phone: "Call the police, they are already at the scene."

"Let's go, I'll go with you." Meng Yanchuan said as he turned and walked outside.

Meng Tinglan did not delay and quickly caught up.

"You drive. I haven't slept for two days. Let's take a rest on the way." Meng Yanchuan parked his car at the door. After throwing the car keys to Meng Tinglan, he got into the back seat.

Meng Tinglan didn't waste any time and quickly drove towards the location given by Qiao Shu.

With Shen Que's secret help, the company jointly opened by Qiao Shu and Meng Zhiyi has shown some improvement.

As their business grew in size, they started to build factories and so, with the help of a friend, they bought a piece of wasteland that had been idle for many years.

But who would have known that this would happen just a few days after construction began.

She was still chatting on the phone with Meng Tinglan when she received the call. When she heard that a pile of bones had been dug out from the ground and it was confirmed that it was not a grave, Qiao Shu was almost shocked.

So she didn't even have time to hang up Meng Tinglan's phone. She grabbed another backup phone, put on a coat, and hurried out.

When Meng Tinglan and Meng Yanchuan arrived, the scene had already been cordoned off, and Qiao Shu and the construction workers were cooperating with the police investigation.

Because of Meng Yanchuan's identity, the alert police did not stop him.

After arriving next to Qiao Shu, Meng Tinglan stayed by her side, and Meng Yanchuan went to find out the situation.

Logically speaking, digging up bones in the middle of the night is weird no matter how you look at it.

But Meng Yanchuan learned that it was a group of people in charge of guarding the construction site who had drunk some wine at dinner. When they got up in the middle of the night, they stepped on the half-dug pit during the day and collapsed it.

After the pit collapsed, a large number of bones appeared in the collapsed soil.

Meng Yanchuan put on gloves, went down to the pit, and began to deal with the scene.

Qiao Shu and Meng Tinglan stood not far away, watching the human bones being dug out from the pit, and their scalps went numb.

It took the police three full hours to dig out six human bones from the pit, three of which were missing.

Meng Yanchuan let out a long breath and was about to take off his gloves when news came from not far away.

A policeman came running over, with something clearly wrong on his face: "Xiao Meng, go check it out, there's another human skeleton found over there."

Meng Yanchuan didn't think much about it. He told Meng Tinglan to take Qiao Shu back first, then followed the policeman and left.

The human bones were discovered only a dozen meters away from the pit, buried under a brightly blooming wild rose.

Unlike the human bones stacked together in the pit, the clothes on this skeleton had not completely decayed, and it was in a posture of someone with his hands tied behind his back, facing downwards.

Meng Yanchuan raised his hand and pushed his glasses, then observed a few seconds of silence for the deceased before carefully lifting the skeleton out of the pit.

However, when Meng Yanchuan lifted the skeleton, a police badge fell out.

When Meng Yanchuan saw the police badge, his brain seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly felt a sharp pain for a moment.

A strong sense of uneasiness swept over me.

Meng Yanchuan tried hard to control the roaring beast in his heart, and calmly laid the skeleton flat, allowing the police nearby to take photos to record the scene.

When the policeman next to him saw the police badge, his expression also became solemn.

After the on-site evidence collection was completed, Meng Yanchuan returned to the unit to perform an autopsy on the human bones.

Two days later.

The assistant looked at Meng Yanchuan, who had been in the autopsy room for two sleepless days, and said worriedly: "Brother Meng, you haven't had much rest for many days in a row. Leave the next thing to us."

Meng Yanchuan seemed tireless as he stared at the skeleton on the dissecting table.

Next to it are the clothes that were stripped off the skeleton.

It's a police uniform.

After a while, Meng Yanchuan spoke in a hoarse voice, "Is that police badge hers?"

The assistant opened his mouth, but finally nodded with some difficulty: "Yes."

As soon as the words fell, the entire autopsy room fell into silence for a long time.

Meng Yanchuan closed his eyes, and lost all his strength. He supported the dissecting table with his hands, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, he slowly stood up, took off the rubber gloves on his hands, calmly explained the next steps as usual, and then turned and walked out of the autopsy room.

Instead of going home directly, he took a taxi to the university he once attended.

Meng Yanchuan walked straight to the school's exhibition wall of outstanding graduates, then stood still, raised his head and stared straight at the photo next to himself.

The girl in the photo has neat short hair, bright and determined eyes, and a pair of shallow dimples when she smiles.

Wei Qingan, an outstanding graduate of the xxth class, works in the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Meng Yanchuan is one grade lower than Wei Qingan and is her junior.

However, Meng Yanchuan and her had little interaction during their school years. The first time they met was during the first case he was in charge of.

Wai Ching-on was also in charge of that case.

The two worked together for the first time and they unexpectedly hit it off and quickly solved the case.

Since then, the two have met frequently and become familiar with each other.

Meng Yanchuan unknowingly developed a different feeling towards her.

However, in a missing little boy case, Wai Ching-on went out to investigate and never returned.

Meng Yanchuan looked for her like crazy, but all he got was that she was missing and her life or death was unknown.

From then on, Meng Yanchuan never let go of any case.

But he never expected that seeing her again would lead to this result.

He stood alone in front of the exhibition wall for a long time, his eyes a little dull.

When the last ray of sunset fell on the photo, he turned and left silently, his shadow lengthening in the sunset, carrying with him an indelible sadness.

Meng Yanchuan returned home, locked himself in his room, and slept for a whole day and night.
