As Zhou Xiaoxiao blabbered nonsense, she began to struggle on the bed. Her emotions were unstable, to the point where she wanted to get up and get off the bed, but just as she turned her body over, she screamed out loud.

His buttocks were stuck to the mattress and the wounds he had prepared were torn apart. A large amount of fresh red blood seeped through the gauze covering the bed. I rushed forward and held her horizontally. "Don't be nervous. We're just asking, not trying to capture you!"

Liao Mengfann covered the bed with the bed sheets once again and I placed her on the bed. The doctor quickly pushed the door open and entered, but when he saw that we looked a little unhappy, he said to the two of us: "The patient needs to rest, you two can go out first! If the wound were to tear again, she might become a cripple for the rest of her life. "

Liao Mengfann and I were kicked out of the sickroom by the doctor, and the moment we left, I saw Jiang Shan standing at the side of the room, silently smoking a cigarette. His expression was a little dejected, and when I walked to his side and saw that the cigarette in his hand was almost gone, I took out my cigarette from the Pocket and passed it to him.

He took the cigarette, picked it up and looked at it. "King Furong, good cigarette!"

Jiang Shan took a sniff of the cigarette and lit it up. He took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke after a long time. His confused eyes looked at the rising smoke with a desolate expression.

I really didn't expect this sentence to come out from the mouth of a captain of the Criminal Police in a county. At least a lot of people would shake their heads, right?

After smoking, Jiang Shan said to me: "Da Qiangzi still hasn't woken up, I've been looking for the police for 20 hours already, what are we going to do next?"

I said, "Zhou Xiaoxiao was extremely uncooperative, and her Second boy's confession pointed straight at her. We are going to break through from her side!"

The reason why I said that was because I believed in Liao Mengfann's hypnotism. Since Second boy was hypnotized, I believe he would not lie. If this case was designated as a massacre, I believe that Zhou Xiaoxiao would definitely form an intersection with these people. As long as we smooth over the chain of relations, we would be able to escape from this kind of passive state.

Beep, beep, beep.....

Just then, my phone suddenly rang. I picked up the phone and saw that it was Wei Shijie calling.

"Little Wei, what did you find out?"

Wei Shijie said: "Brother Little Chuan, didn't you ask me to investigate who reported this? We found it. It's a reporter named Wang Nan. His hometown is at Shanghe County's Estuary Village.

"Oh?!" I nodded. At this moment, I didn't care who I reported this to anymore. I hung up the phone and we rushed back to the Public Security Bureau.

Arriving at the Public Security Bureau's archives, we quickly pulled out all of Zhou Xiaoxiao's archives.

Zhou Xiaoxiao was a resident of the Shanghe County River Inn village. She was 25 years old this year and had a college degree.

I was very curious, so I said to the crowd, "How could a college graduate marry a rural person like Da Qiangzi?"

I continued, "It doesn't meet her criteria. Most importantly, if she marries a rural person, shouldn't she at least choose a good place? We have already seen Da Qiangzi's house, it's just a shack, is that alright? "

Liao Mengfann said: "At that time, Zhou Xiaoxiao said that she was the Da Qiangzi that went on a blind date. The two of them didn't even know each other before. Even if it was a blind date, would they walk together? "

"Could there be a purpose?" I said to Liao Mengfann, "If what you said is true, then Zhou Xiaoxiao and Da Qiangzi must have gotten married with a purpose. Are we going a little too far?"

I don't quite believe our judgment. This case is too weird to be connected at all. So far, all our conclusions have been based on the testimony of a madman who was hypnotized, but where is the cut-in point?

Two cut off human buttocks were placed in two different places respectively. The cuts on both buttocks were made from the same weapon, which meant that both cases had been committed by the same people. But, apart from the two cut buttocks, where were the rest of the corpses?

So far, we haven't received any reports, and the only reason we've let the outside world know is because of a journalist visiting our home. If we say so, we wouldn't have known.

If we didn't come here, what would happen here? I felt that things might develop in a direction that we couldn't predict. I pulled Liao Mengfann out of the archive, but it wasn't because I didn't believe in mountains and rivers.

"Something's wrong!" I told my thoughts to Liao Mengfann, and she thought for a while, then said to me: "You are becoming more and more mature, I think, the outcome of this case will be beyond our expectations!"

She said: "Second boy is not lying, we need to organize Zhou Xiaoxiao's network of relationships right now, this is an important entrance!"

I nodded and said, "Zhou Xiaoxiao is a villager from Riverside Village. She is acquainted with Da Qiangzi on a blind date, there must be a matchmaker!"

"En!" Liao Mengfann smiled at me, and said: "It's very troublesome to manage cases in poor villages, the information network is not developed, there are some things that I can only personally investigate."

"That's right!" Liao Mengfann and I walked into the meeting room. On the wall of the meeting room hung a map of Shanghe County, and very quickly, I found the location of the Heshou Village and the Wechat Village. Furthermore, at the Heshou Village, I actually saw the river mouth village's geographical location.

The two villages were not far apart, about 10 kilometres. Seeing this, Liao Mengfann was a little depressed. She said that during the investigation this morning, the investigators did not mention that they wanted to go to this village.

At the moment, I was looking back and forth at the names of the two villages, the Estuary Village and the Estuary Village, which had been found on the grave of Cheng Yuee's husband in the Estuary Village. If Zhou Xiaoxiao was the one who threw away her butt, then would she also lose that butt in the Estuary Village?

I feel that if we try our luck from village to village, I think the case will progress very slowly. At the moment, there are two things we need to do. One is to rush to Zhou Xiaoxiao's house in Riverside Village and investigate who the matchmaker is. Secondly, we still have to rush to the Estuary Village. I think that Cheng Yuee's place should also be a breakthrough.

I explained my suggestion to Liao Mengfann, she completely agreed with what I said, seeing that we are short on Task Force, we called Wei Shijie over.

I think that this kind of case would not need a computer expert like him to investigate. I plan to have Jiang Shan bring him to Heshou Village's Zhou Xiaoxiao's house to investigate, this kind of thing is very easy to investigate, even if Wei Shijie wants to beat the crap out of him, he can't possibly do it.

I, on the other hand, led Liao Mengfann to Estuary Village. I was very interested in this Cheng Yuee, although I really didn't want to see that mirror, sometimes, there are many things that I have no choice but to do.

"… …"

The worn-out car was walking on the shabby road in the countryside. The car was bumpy and wobbly. I really can't believe that Shanghe County is so poor. Before leaving, I checked the information on this place, but there was very little online, so little in this county that it seemed as if it had never appeared in China.

When we arrived at the Estuary Village, it was already close to evening. I called Brother Huang and found him hiding behind Cheng Yuee's door in an abandoned cow shed. The owner of the cow shed had moved his entire family away, so this place was the perfect place to keep an eye on them.

We brought a lot of food to Brother Huang and the two of us sneaked into the cow shed. The environment of the cow-shed was very vile. Although the cow-shed had been closed for a long time, the stench of cow dung still emanated from it.

Brother Huang was obviously hungry. He took out a piece of bread and started eating. As he was eating, he said to the two of us: "Since Xiaofaan left, Cheng Yuee has never come out. "They didn't even come out to use the toilet!" Brother Huang said as he pointed to a washroom outside Cheng Yuee's house.

I looked at the closed door. "Are we going to meet her now?" Or wait? "

Liao Mengfann thought for a while, then said: "Let's wait first, her actions are a bit strange. Let's use the darkness of the night to jump into her house to take a look."

"Alright!" Everyone, turn your phones on silent! "

Waiting was one of the most disturbing things. At night, there was not only a bad smell in the barn, but also countless mosquitoes buzzing around me. They treated me as their primary target, and within two hours, my body was filled with large bites.

The lights in Cheng Yuee's house were still on. It was already 10.30pm, and in the entire village, only a few people had lights on. I felt that it was strange, what exactly was this woman doing?

After about half an hour, I saw that the lights in Cheng Yuee's house had been completely extinguished. We did not act rashly, but waited in the barn for nearly half an hour. Seeing that there was still no movement from her house, the three of us quietly went to the base of her wall.

The three of them easily passed through the wall and carefully went around to Cheng Yuee's house. The sound of snoring came from inside the house, so Cheng Yuee should be asleep by now, right?

The night was so dark that I couldn't even see Liao Mengfann's face, which was closest to me. Many crickets were chirping around, which sounded rather sinister, and if I were to listen carefully, I would even be able to hear the sound of the old-fashioned clock in Cheng Yuee's house.

Drip drip … Drip drip …

"Dang …" Clang clang …

A bell chimed, followed by a scream of terror coming from inside the room. It came very suddenly, and if it weren't for the fact that I had experienced two perverted murders, I think I would have let out a scream.

Pata!

Just at this moment, I saw a dark yellow light coming from inside the house. The three of us quietly peeked our heads out and realized that Cheng Yuee was already awake. Her expression was stiff, as if she had suffered some sort of shock, or had a nightmare.

I saw a candle burning beside Cheng Yuee's kang, and the flame was swaying back and forth in the room, making it look creepy and scary. Immediately after, Cheng Yuee slowly crawled out from under the blanket. Her movements were a bit slow, as though she was a person who was about to die.

She crawled over to the kang, opened the door, and I saw her take out a red cotton jacket. She slowly put it on and got off the kang.

She stooped to pick up the candle, and I saw her walk slowly to the mirror in the room and sit down.

The mirror was placed on top of a sewing machine. She opened the drawer under the machine and took out a round box.

Cheng Yuee held onto the round box with both of her hands and revealed a strange smile towards the mirror. Then, she slowly opened the box.
