Chapter 195 The crocodile has become a spirit
After Chi Longfei's reminder, Chu Runrun felt that it was not impossible that the person was still alive.
Just as she was thinking about it, Chu Ruanruan received a message from Zhuo Chi.
"The deceased's identity has been confirmed. We found some unusual things in his home. You can come over if you have time!"
"Do you all have classes in the afternoon?" Chu Runrun asked.
Ge Hanlin shook her head: "I don't have one, Tian Yuyuan and Chi Longfei have one."
Chu Ruanruan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Then Xiao Taozi will have to go with me to open my eyes!"
"Ruanruan, don't you have classes in the afternoon?"
"It's just a physical education class. It doesn't start until four o'clock. I should be able to make it back in time." Chu Runrun smiled indifferently.
"Then we want to go too!" Tian Yuyuan immediately put his arms around Chi Longfei's neck and said.
Chi Longfei looked at his white shirt that was stained by Tian Yuyuan's greasy hands with a frown:
"You wash tonight's clothes!"
Tian Yuyuan pulled his hand back awkwardly: "Sorry!"
"If you go with me, you'll have to skip class!" Chu Runrun said with a smile.
"It's just C++, I don't need to learn it."
They left as soon as they said they would. After dinner, Chu Runrun and the other three took a taxi to the address given to them by Zhuo Chi.
The deceased, Liu Hansheng, was the owner of a seafood market and had disappeared half a month ago. After DNA comparison, it was confirmed that the deceased was this person.
When Chu Runrun and the others arrived at the deceased's home, Han Liming and Zhuo Chi were inspecting the scene.
Liu Hansheng is a bachelor who has been in the seafood business for several years and is considered a small boss. However, he is in his thirties and has not yet married. He only has a girlfriend.
His home was an 80-square-meter two-bedroom apartment where he lived alone, but the room was extremely messy. The tables and chairs were all over the floor, a corner of the coffee table was broken, and there were bloodstains and a layer of white crystals on the floor.
Chu Ruanruan squatted down and looked at the crystal on the ground with a frown: "What is this?"
"This is..." Han Liming was about to speak when he heard Chi Longfei say:
“It’s sea salt.”
Han Liming glanced at Chi Longfei and said, "Yes, it's sea salt, and it's the unpurified kind."
"This is a residential area, how come there is sea salt here?" Chu Runrun asked in confusion.
Han Liming motioned Chu Ruanruan to follow him.
"One of these two rooms is Liu Hansheng's bedroom, and the other one..."
Han Liming pushed open the door, looked inside and said, "This is where the fish are raised!"
Chu Ruanruan was shocked when she saw the room that had been converted into a small pond: "A room at home is specially set aside for raising fish!"
"That's right! These aren't just ordinary fish!"
Half of the room is made of waterproof tiles to resemble a swimming pool, and the other half is filled with sand. The pool is filled with sea water, and the sea salt crystals outside are left after the sea water has dried up.
Han Liming walked in, took out a scale from the sand in the corner, put it in the evidence bag and handed it to Chu Ruanruan:
"What do you think this is?"
Chu Ruanruan looked at the scales carefully, then frowned and said, "Fish scales?"
"To be precise, it's crocodile scales. There used to be a crocodile here." Zhuo Chi said.
"Is this person crazy to keep a crocodile at home?" Ge Hanlin said in surprise.
"You can't say that. Nowadays, many people keep crocodiles as pets. Maybe this is someone's special hobby!" Tian Yuyuan said.
Han Liming glanced at them and said:
"If it was just an ordinary pet crocodile, it would be fine, but this crocodile is a saltwater crocodile, the largest and most ferocious crocodile in the world.
The longest can reach seven meters in length and can easily crush the hard shells of turtles and the bones of bison."
Ge Hanlin couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked in surprise: "Is it really that powerful?"
"Not only is it powerful, but this crocodile is probably a spirit!" said Zhuo Chi.
Chu Ruanruan, who had been silent all this time, walked to the edge of the pool, dipped a little water in it, sniffed it, nodded slightly and said:
"There is indeed a strange aura, but it's not obvious in this room. It seems this crocodile is quite skilled."
"Judging from the traces outside, Liu Hansheng should have been captured by this crocodile." Han Liming said.
"Isn't this crocodile raised by Liu Hansheng? Why did it capture its owner?" Ge Hanlin asked in confusion.
Zhuo Chi chuckled: "Liu Hansheng treats the crocodile as a pet, and the crocodile may treat him as food."
“Since the crocodile is already a spirit, it wouldn’t just kill the people who feed it, and those body parts were chopped off with a sharp weapon.
"If a crocodile wants to kill someone, it can just bite them into pieces and swallow them. Why would it use a sharp weapon to chop them up and feed them to the fish?" Chu Ruanruan said.
Han Liming nodded. "So we suspect that this crocodile chopped off Liu Hansheng's organs bit by bit while he was still alive in order to take revenge on him."
The most ferocious crocodile in the world has a grudge against a human. What a bizarre story!
Thinking of Chi Longfei's reminder this afternoon, Chu Runrun felt that the possibility was even greater.
"Uncle, do you think it's possible that Liu Hansheng is still alive?"
Han Liming frowned and shook his head: "It should be... impossible! His internal organs were chopped into pieces, how could he still be alive?"
"If it's a monster, then it's possible." Zhuo Chi said.
Chu Runrun lowered her eyes and pondered. After the crocodile took Liu Hansheng away, it must have found a place to hide people. What kind of place would the crocodile go to?
Suddenly, Chu Ruan seemed to have thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Is this Liu Hansheng related to Yu Rong?"
"Their relationship is still under investigation." Xiao He said.
Chu Runrun remembered that Yu Rong had said that his fish farm had artificially bred crocodiles for food, so she might as well go and take a look.
Chu Runrun's eyes rolled and an idea came to her mind.
"Uncle, come pick me up from school tonight."
"You don't want to go to the fish farm at night?" Han Liming frowned.
"The saltwater crocodile sleeps during the day and comes out to move around at night. Maybe we can find some clues if we go there at night!" Chu Runrun said.
Han Liming glanced at Zhuo Chi, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
It was already past two o'clock when they finished watching the scene, and it was already three fifty when Han Liming sent Chu Runrun and the others to school.
Tian Yuyuan pulled Chi Longfei and ran towards the classroom.
For them, skipping classes is not a big deal, but being late is embarrassing! Especially since they have an extremely strict homeroom teacher!
Chu Runrun was quite relaxed. There were still ten minutes before class, and Ge Hanlin accompanied her leisurely to the playground.
"Ruanruan, are you going to have a physical test today?" Ge Hanlin asked.
Chu Ruanruan nodded: "It seems so!"
"Everyone else's physical examinations are full of complaints, but you are really calm!" Ge Hanlin said with a smile.
"It's only two kilometers. Go buy a bottle of water and wait over there!"
After saying that, Chu Ruanruan trotted towards the class team.
"Ruanruan, why are you here just now? Stand up straight, the roll call has been called!" Bao Mengyi quickly pulled Chu Ruanruan over.
"I went out to do something and came a little late!" Chu Runrun said with a smile.
"Chu Ruanruan!"
Chu Ruanruan had just stood up when her name was called. She quickly shouted, "Here!"
