After going downstairs, Gu Xizhou followed the GPS all the way. With Fang Zhi's help, he finally arrived at Fenghuang Mountain.
At the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, Gu Xizhou's car had just come to a stop.
Fang Zhi was sweating profusely. He was holding a bottle of mineral water and gulping it down. When he saw the Land Rover parked in front of him, he immediately waved to the person inside and shouted, "Gu Ge!"
"Yes." Gu Xizhou got out of the car and locked the door. He looked up at the mountain in front of him and said, "Let's go. We'll talk as we walk."
Fang Zhi nodded. He was carrying two bags of mineral water. Gu Xizhou reached out to help him carry one of the bags.
"Gu Ge, you just came back from the mission world …" Fang Zhi whispered as they walked up the mountain side by side.
Gu Xizhou briefly told Fang Zhi about his experience in the mission world. Fang Zhi was shocked. When he heard Gu Xizhou's faceless woman coming out of the wall, he was so scared that his scalp went numb and he swallowed his saliva.
When he heard about the possession in Gu Xizhou's door, Fang Zhi was silent for a moment and said, "They are really pitiful. History can't be changed. But now, everyone is equal."
Gu Xizhou saw his sigh and suddenly understood why Gu Zhizhi would let Fang Zhi, a newcomer, be his assistant. They were really the same kind of people.
"You're right. Men and women are equal now. Divorce and marriage are all personal freedom." Gu Xizhou said softly. Then he changed the topic. "Tell me about the situation on the mountain."
Fang Zhi nodded. "A few … um … special young people went to the mountain for a picnic. One of them brought a dog. The plastic bag containing the body was found by the dog.
"Many garbage bags have been found. The body is rotten. The forensic doctor estimated that the time of death is about four days ago."
Gu Xizhou frowned and asked, "Is there anything that can prove their identity?"
"No, there are a few blood-stained clothes. I haven't found anything that can prove my identity yet," Fang Zhi said with a frown.
Gu Xizhou had read all the books in Gu Zhizhi's house and had handled a few cases. Although there were some mistakes, he still had some experience. When he heard Fang Zhi's words, he instantly had a headache.
The most important thing in investigating a case was to confirm the identity of the deceased. This was the most important first step. Because this was a dismembered corpse case, the skull had not been found yet. There were only some clothes and DNA, so it was very difficult to find an exact person. This kind of case was the hardest to investigate.
After climbing up the mountain, Gu Xizhou pulled up the yellow cordon and entered the scene. He handed the water in his hand to Fang Zhi next to him. Fang Zhi hurriedly passed the water to his colleagues, especially the two female police officers.
Gu Xizhou looked at Xiang Yuan. This guy was wearing plastic gloves and rummaging through the bag of minced meat. His movements were very practiced and his expression was calm. The female forensic doctor next to him, who had just arrived not long ago, frowned slightly and helped to check.
Xiang Yuan moved to the edge of the bag, gently fanned the top of the bag twice with his hand, and sniffed with his nose …
When Fang Zhi, who was narrating the scene, saw this scene, his face turned pale and he couldn't help but retch. Gu Xizhou patted him.
"Xiao Fang, you can't do this. You're not as calm as the female police officer," Xiang Yuan raised his head and said when he heard someone retching.
"No … Brother Xiang, you're too …" Fang Zhi patted his chest and his face turned pale. "You acted like a pervert just now."
"You're the pervert. This is called being calm and responsible for my work!" Xiang Yuan pursed his lips and stood up to explain the situation to Gu Xizhou. "The time of death was 4-5 days ago. The preliminary judgment is that the body was cut with a chainsaw, including the skull. The body parts were not found. They're using police dogs to search the mountain, but they haven't found anything yet. The situation is not good.
"The DNA extraction is not a big problem. The problem is how to determine the source of the body."
Gu Xizhou waved his hand. "Okay, Fang Zhi already told me the general situation when we came up. I'll take a look first."
Although Fenghuang Mountain was called Fenghuang Mountain, it was not a tourist attraction. It was actually just an ordinary hill. It was not very high and only had a few trees planted. It was located in the suburbs of Ningqing and was rarely visited by people. Only occasionally during spring and autumn would the nearby residents come here to fly kites.
Gu Xizhou looked around the area. Looking down from the top of the mountain, he saw six young men with classic hairstyles who were pulled aside by the police officers. They looked like local ruffians and had tattoos of a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right.
"Tell me the details of the discovery of the body parts." One of the police officers was holding a notebook and taking notes. He had just finished recording the identities, names, and other information of the six people.
"We were barbecuing just now and this stupid dog kept making a fuss. I threw a flying saucer for it to play with and asked it to pick it up. In the end, this stupid dog ran out and didn't bring back the flying saucer. It brought back half of my hand …" One of the yellow-haired men said with a sad face. Number Two, who was squatting next to him, opened its big mouth and stuck its tongue out. It looked at its owner eagerly.
"I was f * cking scared to death …"
The yellow-haired man spoke with great emotion. Together with his two big tattoos, it was very picturesque. After Gu Xizhou went over, he stood at the side and listened quietly.
"You only found this pocket?"
The yellow-haired man shrunk his neck. "Yes, we immediately called the police when we found this pocket. That hand was exchanged with barbecued meat from this stupid dog's mouth.
"Police comrade, although my fingerprints are on that hand, I'm sure I didn't kill anyone! This has to be explained clearly!
"It's all this stupid dog's fault. It scared me to death."
"Woof woof woof woof!"
Perhaps because of the yellow-haired old dog's barking, the husky squatting next to him thought that its owner was calling it. It barked in response and even stuck out its tongue to lick the yellow-haired man's hand that was hanging by his pants.
"What are you barking for? Barking my ass! Don't lick me with the mouth that you just ate. I'll get the police to take you away later! " The yellow-haired man slapped the husky's head. "F * ck, why didn't I think straight back then … Why did I buy this stupid husky!"
The yellow-haired man's friend said, "You should throw it away as soon as possible."
"How can I do that? I've already bought it. If I throw it away … What if it starves to death, gets beaten up, or gets eaten by someone … "
"Woof woof woof!"
The yellow-haired man said as he heard the dog barking. He slapped the husky's head again. "Next time, don't bring back a human hand for me. Be a dog."
The policeman next to him couldn't help but laugh. "Answer properly."
"Yes, yes, yes, officer!" The yellow-haired man smiled apologetically.
Gu Xizhou took a step forward and let the policeman who had asked about the situation rest. "When you were barbecuing, did you see anyone else on the hill?"
"No, very few people come here. We made an appointment a long time ago. Those bags were buried in the ground. If it wasn't for this stupid dog, who would have thought that there were bodies here …"
Another person said, "We used to live here, so we know about this hill. Most people don't even know about this place."
Gu Xizhou nodded. Even the GPS couldn't find this place. He had to rely on Fang Zhi to send him the location. Indeed, there weren't many people here.
"Okay, thank you," Gu Xizhou said.
"It's my pleasure, my pleasure … Um … Officer, can I leave now? I'm a little scared … I still have something to do at home. "
"Have you registered your identity information?"
The yellow-haired man quickly nodded. "Yes!"
"Okay then. If you remember anything, remember to contact us. You can go back first."
After saying that, the six young punks left at the same time. Gu Xizhou turned around and saw Xiang Yuan shrugging at him.
After searching for another hour, they still couldn't find any other body parts. Gu Xizhou had no choice but to let some people take the body and the forensic doctor back to do the identification first. He brought Fang Zhi to the nearby residents to see if anyone knew about the situation.
Similar to what the yellow-haired man said, there weren't many residents nearby. After walking for a full kilometer, Gu Xizhou finally saw a house. Fang Zhi went forward and knocked on the door. After a short while, a pot-bellied middle-aged man walked out.
"Hello, I want to ask you something."
When the man saw Fang Zhi in his police uniform, he seemed a little afraid of Fang Zhi. "Officer, officer, hello. What do you want to ask?"
"Do you know about Feng Huang Mountain?" Gu Xizhou asked.
"Yes, it's just a small hill. I didn't decorate it too much …" The man was at a loss. He didn't understand why the two officers were asking about Feng Huang Mountain. "Why are you asking about that mountain?"
"I ask, you answer," Gu Xizhou said. "You're always at home, right?"
"Yes."
"Have you seen any strange people in the past few days?"
The man thought for a moment and shook his head. "No …"
"You seemed very nervous when you saw us just now?" Gu Xizhou asked casually.
The middle-aged man shook his head like a rattle-drum and said repeatedly, "No, no! Normal people would be nervous when they see the police suddenly appear at the door … "
"Normal people wouldn't be," Gu Xizhou said coldly as he looked at him.
"I …" The man was frightened by Gu Xizhou's gaze. At this moment, Gu Xizhou heard a few cursing voices from afar.
"B * tch with the surname Zhu, you only know how to f * cking bully Grandma Liang when her son isn't here. F * ck, I'm going to beat you to death today …"
A few aggressive punks rolled up their sleeves, revealing their tattooed arms. They looked like gangsters, but when they saw Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi, they suddenly fell silent.
The blonde said, "Hahaha … Officers, you … What a coincidence!"
The people who came were the punks who told Gu Xizhou that they were afraid on the mountain. The middle-aged man in front of Gu Xizhou was the 'b * tch' that the blonde was talking about.
"Officers, look at them! They want to beat us up! I'm going to sue them! "The man surnamed Zhu hid behind Fang Zhi and said anxiously.
"They haven't hit you yet," Gu Xizhou said as he glanced at him.
The man surnamed Zhu was speechless.
"F * ck!" The blonde slammed the door and made a fist gesture. "You b * stard, you only f * cking bully Grandma Liang when her son isn't here. You steal her ducks and chickens. Don't you have any shame? You're a disgrace to us men. Come out if you have the guts. I'll teach you a lesson today! "
Gu Xizhou was speechless.
Fang Zhi was speechless.
The blonde noticed the two officers and laughed. "Officers, I was just saying … Hahaha, I didn't really hit him. Hahaha …"
Gu Xizhou waved his hand. He knew why the middle-aged man was afraid. This person must have been a thief in the area, so he was afraid when he saw them knocking on the door.
"Okay, we're done here." Gu Xizhou said calmly, "Settle your own matters. Don't hit people. Okay … If someone steals, you can call the police."
"Understood!" The blonde and his brothers nodded like chickens pecking on rice. "Goodbye, police comrade."
Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi left and got into the car. Fang Zhi, who was next to them, suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Xizhou glanced at him and asked.
Fang Zhi smiled. "I just think that the blonde just now is quite interesting. He has a pair of big tattooed arms and looks big and burly. I didn't expect him to be such a nice person."
Gu Xizhou thought for a moment and said, "He's probably a real 'aristocrat' punk."
Fang Zhi, who was drinking water, spat out a mouthful of water and choked.
"Cough cough cough … Cough cough cough …"
Gu Xizhou handed him a piece of tissue. He looked coldly ahead and drove seriously.
Fang Zhi secretly looked at Gu Xizhou through the rearview mirror.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Xizhou glanced at Fang Zhi. "Is there something on my face?"
Fang Zhi quickly waved his hand. "No … I just suddenly realized that Gu Ge, you're quite humorous."
Gu Xizhou: "…"
After asking a few more residents, Gu Xizhou drove straight back to the police station. When he arrived at the entrance of the forensics room, he bumped into Xiang Yuan, who was holding a cup in his hand. Gu Xizhou looked down.
Oh, red dates soaked in wolfberries. It's good for the body.
"How's the situation?" Gu Xizhou asked. "Any clues?"
"The body is incomplete. It's missing the skull and some organs. There's no birthmark or anything like that on the body. However, another ticket was found in his clothes. It was automatically printed by the machine after the car stopped. It's being repaired. Should we ask the family members who reported missing to come and identify the body?" Xiang Yuan suggested.
Gu Xizhou: "Okay, we'll do both at the same time! Inform the family members who reported missing to come and look at the clothes. Don't look at the body. Otherwise, they'll cry loudly. "
"Okay."
