Three days ago.

Yang Xueqi came back from a business trip. When she was sorting out her work, she saw an express delivery, and the sender of the express delivery was Xu Yang.

At first, Yang Xueqi thought it was a gift from Xu Yang, but after opening the express delivery, she found that it was not a gift at all, but a photo, with an address written on the back of the photo.

The address is in a small forest in the western suburbs.

Yang Xueqi was a police officer. When she saw the skeletal corpse, she knew it was a murder case, so she led her people and found the grove according to the address on the photo.

After some digging, they dug up a white skeleton in the woods, exactly like the one in the photo.

After forensic identification, it was found that this was the body of an adult woman, about 22 years old, who had been killed at least seven years ago.

As for the cause of death, the preliminary judgment is that it was homicide.

The hands of the corpse were cut off artificially, and the wounds were smooth. The murder weapon should be a sharp weapon, but neither hands nor the murder weapon were found at the scene.

In addition, the deceased's body bones were damaged in many places, most of which were caused by beatings during his lifetime. Obviously, the deceased was abused before his death.

After on-site investigation and extraction of biological samples, the identity of the deceased was quickly determined.

The deceased, Fang Wan'er, was from Kangyang County, Xinyang City. He was admitted to the Literature Department of Yangcheng University fourteen years ago and was 22 years old.

According to police files, ten years ago, when Fang Wan'er was a senior in college, on the eve of her graduation, Fang Wan'er suddenly disappeared. The school called the police to look for her, but Fang Wan'er was soon found in her hometown, and the matter was resolved.

Let it go.

But according to the latest investigation, Fang Wan'er disappeared again after she was found by the police, completed her studies and received her diploma. This disappearance lasted for ten years. During these ten years, there was no news about Fang Wan'er.

It wasn't until three days ago that the police found her body.

Hearing this, Xu Yang said: "So, Fang Wan'er disappeared again ten years ago. In fact, she was not missing, but was killed?"

Yang Xueqi nodded and said: "Our police initially infer that this is the case, but we still need to wait for the forensic doctor's autopsy report to be sure."

Xu Yang nodded, and then asked: "Is there any suspect?"

Yang Xueqi shook her head and said bitterly: "Fang Wan'er has been missing for ten years, and although the time of her murder cannot be determined, it must have been at least seven years. It is too old and there are too few clues. There is no suspect yet, and.

.....”

Speaking of this, Yang Xueqi stopped talking.

"What's wrong? Are there other discoveries at the scene?" Xu Yang asked.

Yang Xueqi turned to look at Xu Yang, nodded, and said, "You are still so sharp. Yes, we found not only Fang Wan'er's body, but also seventeen corpses at the scene. Counting Fang Wan'er's total of eighteen corpses."

"Um?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Yang narrowed his eyes instantly.

He thought about the first item he got when he entered the game, the bloody boning knife.

[Fang Wan, I love you so much. For you, I travel through the streets of the city and rush between floors every day. I just want you to live a good life, but why do you betray me? Which one?

Who is the man? Where is he? I will find him, I will definitely find him!!!]

This is an introduction to the Bloody Evisceration Knife. The Bloody Ebony Knife is a purple-colored ghost that can be used twenty times. But when Xu Yang obtained it, the remaining times were only three times. At that time, Xu Yang suspected that the courier ghost used this knife.

Seventeen people were killed.

However, Xu Yang felt that it was impossible. He had lived in Xinyang City for so long and had never heard of a serial killer committing a crime and killing seventeen people in one go. If so, it would have been reported in the news.

, so Xu Yang didn’t pay much attention to it at that time.

But now, when he heard Yang Xueqi say this, Xu Yang was stunned.

His original guess was correct. The boning knife did kill seventeen people, and the reason why it was not discovered was because their bodies were not discovered.

Of course, further police investigation is needed to determine whether the seventeen skeletons dug out in the grove are theirs.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang asked: "Are there any other discoveries?"

Yang Xueqi glanced at Xu Yang thoughtfully and said, "We found a lot. According to preliminary forensic identification, these seventeen deceased are all males, aged between eighteen and thirty years old."

"Were they killed at the same time?" Xu Yang asked again.

"No, the seventeen skeletons have different degrees of decay. Most of them died more than seven years ago, but a few were killed three years ago, and the most recent victim was three years ago."

"This is a serial murder case. The murderer started committing crimes ten years ago and ended three years ago, right?"

Yang Xueqi nodded and said: "It seems like this so far."

"Have the identities of the other deceased been confirmed?"

"Still comparing."

Hearing this, Xu Yang remained silent, and Yang Xueqi didn't say anything else.

After a long time, Xu Yang suddenly said: "But what does this have to do with me, and what does it have to do with my second uncle?"

Yang Xueqi squinted her eyes, looked at Xu Yang, and said quietly: "After we discovered these corpses, I immediately investigated the source of the express delivery."

"what's the result?"

"no result."

"Um?"

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "No results? What do you mean?"

"We asked the courier company and the guard. This courier did not go through the courier company, but was placed directly in the guard room."

Could it be the second uncle?

Xu Yang had a vague guess in his mind, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

Yang Xueqi seemed to know what Xu Yang was thinking. She shook her head and said, "It's not your second uncle. Our surveillance did not capture the person delivering the courier."

"What about the doorman?"

"At that time, the guard went to the canteen to get food and was not in the guard room."

Xu Yang fell silent immediately after hearing this, while Yang Xueqi continued: "However, we have identified the handwriting on the express delivery and the handwriting on the photo. The identification results show that these handwritings are very similar to your handwriting, but they are not yours."

The handwriting is your second uncle's handwriting."

"So, my second uncle is back?" Xu Yang suddenly raised his head and asked.

Yang Xueqi shook her head and said: "We don't know if your second uncle is back yet. If it is your second uncle, then this matter will become troublesome."

"What's the meaning?"

"We found this on site."

While talking, Yang Xueqi took out a wind chime.

The moment Xu Yang saw the wind chime, his pupils suddenly shrank.

He knew this wind chime. It was a gift given to him by his second uncle when he was very young. He said it was left to him by his mother. There were many wind chimes, forty-four in total.

However, this string of wind chimes disappeared with the disappearance of his second uncle three years ago, and it disappeared at the same time that the traces of his second uncle were erased. In these three years, Xu Yang, in addition to looking for his second uncle,

Besides, I am still looking for wind chimes.

Unfortunately, he achieved nothing in these three years.

At this moment, the wind chime held by Yang Xueqi was one of the string of wind chimes.

"Is this found at the scene?" Xu Yang asked after taking the wind chime and examining it.

Yang Xueqi nodded.

"Yes."

Xu Yang held the wind chime, pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you give me this wind chime?"

"I'm here this time just to return your wind chime."

"Um?"

(°ー°〃)

Hearing this, Xu Yang suddenly raised his head, looked at Yang Xueqi, and said in surprise: "Isn't this a piece of evidence? Isn't it against the rules to just give it to me like this?"

But Yang Xueqi smiled and said: "It is an evidence, but it is not an evidence."

"What's the meaning?"

"I discovered this wind chime. I am the only one who knows about its existence. Now I give it back to you."

Xu Yang looked at Yang Xueqi, and Yang Xueqi looked at him. After the two looked at each other for a long time, Xu Yang silently put away the bell.

"Thanks!"

Yang Xueqi shook her head, raised her wrist, glanced at her watch, stood up, and said: "It's getting late, I should go back. If you see your second uncle, remember to tell me. If you encounter someone during this period,

If you encounter anything strange, you can come to me."

Xu Yang narrowed his eyes, took a deep look at Yang Xueqi, nodded and said, "I will."

Seeing that Xu Yang agreed, Yang Xueqi no longer stayed and left directly.

Xu Yang was sitting on the sofa, looking at the bell in his hand, lost in thought.
