Chapter 273 Send Him Home
It was already late at night when Chi Xia and Luo Xun found Yu Ji.
Heizi waited at the inn where they stayed at first and took them to the crime scene.
"Brother Xun, do you want to take a rest first?" Seeing their expressions, Heizi couldn't help but ask.
"Let's go check out the situation first." Luo Xun rubbed his face and told Chi Xia: "Put on more clothes."
Chi Xia indeed felt the frost in the air and put on an extra layer of clothes as instructed.
The three of them quickly got into Heizi's car, and Luo Xun then asked, "How did they suddenly find the body? Yuji also has an orphanage, why haven't I heard of it?"
"That place has been abandoned for a long time and is quite remote. The body was found because a car accident occurred on the way back from Yubin with Xiao Wei. The road was blocked, so they took this detour. Zhao was very sharp-eyed and found bloodstains when passing by the abandoned site of the orphanage. He and Xiao Wei went in to check and that's when they found the body."
"How many police officers are there now?" Luo Xun asked again.
"It should be Brother Lin, Brother Cao, Captain Zhao, and Xiao Wei. Some people from the police station were transferred over there. It was not convenient for me to go over there, so I was sent here to pick you up."
"Where are Guilai and Qian Bo?" Chi Xia suddenly asked.
"They're leaving."
Heizi was also a little confused: "Qian Bo left late, I asked my brother to send him to the airport. As for his return... we didn't know when he left. When I went to the hospital to bring him food, I found out that he was gone too. He left a note, but didn't say where he was going."
Chi Xia narrowed her eyes: "Sister Su He hasn't come back yet?"
Heizi shook his head: "No."
"Where is Tu Guoan? How is he doing?" she asked again.
"It's fine. I'll watch them through video for ten minutes. They don't dare to be lazy."
Chi Xia and Luo Xun didn't ask any more questions. Heizi wanted to ask about their situation several times, but he opened his mouth again and again, and finally said, "You guys take a break. I'll call you when we get there."
Chi Xia and Luo Xun responded at the same time.
It was another nearly one-hour drive. Heizi was a very good driver and drove smoothly all the way. Chi Xia and Luo Xun couldn't hold it any longer and both slept for half an hour.
When getting off the car, he could already feel the cold air. Luo Xun pulled his clothes closer and looked at the abandoned site hidden in the hazy sky.
"It's quite far away." Chi Xia also came up: "It's no coincidence that Xiao Zheng's body appeared here."
Luo Xun nodded, walked forward, and asked Heizi again: "Heizi, has Forensic Doctor Ning arrived?"
"Here we are, a little earlier than you guys."
Heizi walked them to the door with a flashlight and stopped: "Brother Xun, I won't go in, but I'll be outside. I'll ask the brothers to bring you some food and drinks later. If you need anything, just let me know."
"Okay." Luo Xun patted his shoulder: "Thank you."
"Oh, please don't do that. It makes me feel embarrassed."
Heizi shook his shoulders and said, "Police and citizens are like one family, right?"
Luo Xun smiled and went in with Chi Xia.
The two quickly found Lin Wenjue and the others, and as soon as they went up, they saw a row of corpses.
Chi Xia and Luo Xun's eyes darkened, and they walked up to Lin Wenjue and asked, "What's the situation?"
Lin Wenjue turned his head and glanced at Luo Xun. His worry flashed across his face, and he quickly said solemnly, "The situation is much worse than we thought."
He pointed to the row of bones and said, "The number of bones is still increasing. I can't even imagine how many bones there are here."
"Where is Xiao Zheng's body?" Chi Xia asked.
Lin Wenjue led them to another brighter place: "Old Ning just arrived not long ago, and Old Cao and Xiao Zhao are helping with the autopsy."
The three men walked over and just stood still. Cao Bin and Xiao Zhao didn't even have time to say hello. Ning Yi said without even raising his head: "This man was not murdered, he committed suicide."
"Are you sure?" Luo Xun squatted down and saw the lifeless face.
From the information he initially obtained from the detention center, this man looked very ordinary, but now that he was lying soundlessly on the cold ground, Luo Xun realized that he looked righteous when he closed his eyes.
"Confirmed, suicide by cutting his wrists. Time of death was twelve hours ago. From cutting his wrists to complete death, it was a very painful process . He had many injuries on his body, mainly gunshot wounds and knife wounds."
"Does he have anything on him that can prove his identity?" Chi Xia came over and asked .
"No."
Lin Wenjue answered them: "But when the body was found, his face was very peaceful, and there was a package of this thing on his chest."
He pulled out an evidence bag and handed it over.
Chi Xia's eyes froze. The evidence bag that Lin Wenjue handed over contained a bag of flower seeds, the same ones that Qiao Lifu showed her.
Ning Yi glanced at Chi Xia, then at Luo Xun: "His blood all flowed to one place. Lao Lin and the others also found something wrong, so they dug up that place and found bones from there. I heard from Lao Lin that you guys are investigating this person recently. He had both knife and gunshot wounds. Who is this person?"
"Comrade." Luo Xun took a deep breath and said.
Not to mention Ning Yi and Xiao Zhao, even Lin Wenjue and Cao Bin were stunned.
At that time, Luo Xun only asked everyone to check the whereabouts of this person privately, but did not tell them the identity of this person.
"His code name is the Gardener."
Chi Xia slowly opened her mouth and said what Qiao Lifu had told her: "I am willing to use my blood to irrigate thousands of flowers to stand in the wind. This bag of flower seeds is the secret code between his superior and him."
The early morning frost enveloped everyone, and an unspeakable sadness lingered around everyone.
Ning Yi sighed first, and then he reached out to Xiao Zhao beside him: "Give me the cleaning tools."
Xiao Zhao reacted immediately. He knelt on one knee on the ground, opened the toolbox, and took out some simple cleaning tools.
"Come and help." Ning Yi squatted down: "Help him clean up the dirt on his body."
Everyone squatted down in silence, took the tools from Xiao Zhao, cleared the weeds on his body, and wiped the frost and dirt off his face.
From head to toe, including every fold of the hands.
Finally, they tidied his clothes and hair, and Ning Yi treated the wound on his wrist.
Then, they spontaneously stood in a row, stood straight, and saluted the corpse on the ground with solemn and reverent expressions.
In the distance, Zhao Suo happened to see this scene. His face darkened and he grabbed Wei Guoliang beside him.
"Master, what's wrong?" Wei Guoliang asked in confusion.
"Brothers, stop what you are doing." Zhao Jianguo said with a heavy face , "Come here."
Wei Guoliang also saw the situation not far away, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Master, that is..."
"Go quickly! Don't make any noise, keep your voice down! Come over and line up." Zhao Jianguo scolded in a low voice.
Wei Guoliang had some guesses in his mind but didn't dare to ask, so he quickly called his colleagues from the police station over.
A group of people stood in a line, with Zhao Jianguo standing at the front.
When the faint morning light pierced through the darkness, Zhao Jianguo shouted in that direction in a loud voice: "Salute!"
Even though most people still didn't understand this, with the sound of the resounding salute, they all understood the meaning of this salute.
There are always thousands of people who are not afraid of their own death.
I would like to ride on the wind and block the rain, dew, wind and frost.
Luo Xun and the others looked at Zhao Suo in the distance. They mourned in silence until Zhao Suo shouted, "The ceremony is over!"
Everyone lowered their arms.
Chief Zhao brought two people over and asked Luo Xun: "Should we send this body back?"
"want."
Luo Xun said: "Captain Zhao, please make sure he is properly taken care of. Someone will come to take him home."
Zhao's eyes flickered: "Please rest assured, I will send it back personally."
"It's troublesome."
Chief Zhao did not answer and asked someone to bring a simple stretcher. Everyone carefully lifted Xiao Zheng's body onto it.
Chief Zhao took off his police uniform. Xiao Wei and another colleague from the police station also took off their uniforms when they saw him.
Three police uniforms covered Xiao Zheng's body.
Chief Zhao lifted one end of the stretcher and said, "Let's go and send our comrade back."
Chi Xia and the others saluted again towards the backs of Zhao Suo and others as they left.
