Chapter 274 I Can't Recognize Him
After Zhao and his team left, the excavation at the site continued.
The number of human remains excavated from this place continues to increase.
It was not until the sky was bright and the sun was rising that someone shouted, " There is no more land on Site 1."
As this voice started, the same words were heard from other directions from time to time: "Land No. 2 is gone."
"Plot 3 is gone."
"Site 4 has also been inspected."
"Plot No. 5 is gone."
"Plot No. 6 is gone too."
Zhao Jianguo initially divided the possible places where the bodies were buried into six areas. After working for so long, all the corpses were finally seen by the light of day.
Not counting Xiao Zheng's, they dug out a total of thirty-six skeletons in this place.
Ning Yi had been checking the condition of the corpse and now he could hardly straighten his back.
With Xiao Zhao's help, he stood up with difficulty, took a few breaths, and his face looked heavy.
"Old Luo, I must tell you very seriously that according to my estimation, the ages of these thirty-six skeletons are basically between six and seventeen years old. There are thirty boys, the youngest is eight years old and the oldest is 17 years old. There are six girls, the youngest is six years old and the oldest is 12 years old."
Luo Xun's face was gloomy : "What about the cause of death? Are there any clues now?"
"It seems that they all suffered from electric shocks before they died. And one thing is that judging from the condition of the bones, there are traces of drug effects, but I can't be sure whether it was caused before they died or after they were killed. I think I have to go back as soon as possible and conduct a detailed examination. You also know the situation here. The conditions for autopsies are very simple. I will go back and ask the old man for help."
"Okay."
Luo Xun looked at the white bones under the sunlight and said, "I'll arrange for someone to take you back. If there's anything, feel free to contact me."
Ning Yi nodded, and then thought of something, and said to Xiao Zhao: "I have a transcript in my bag, go get it for me."
Xiao Zhao quickly ran over and took the things.
As soon as he took the book, Lin Wenjue frowned: "Isn't this my grandfather's thing?"
"Very sharp eyes."
Ning Yi curled his lips and said, "It's his. After the old man returned, he recorded all the conversations between him and my master and asked me to bring them to you."
Luo Xun flipped through it and said, "Old ginger is still spicy."
"Anyway, my master has calmed down now."
Ning Yi twisted his waist again: "Okay, I won't delay any longer, but there is a problem..."
He frowned as he looked at the corpses: "With so many corpses, how can we identify them? Even if we send people from the surrounding cities, it may not work..."
Chi Xia remained silent. While Ning Yi and Luo Xun were talking, she was also observing the condition of the corpses.
Hearing Ning Yi's words, she said, "It doesn't make much sense to confirm their identities. The origins of these victims are not just orphans and missing persons. The focus does not need to be on this."
Ning Yi asked: "How do you know?"
“We’ve done analysis.”
Luo Xun pulled him back: "This is not an ordinary homicide case. The necessary condition is not to confirm the identity."
"Okay." Ning Yi nodded: "Then I'll go back first."
"I'll go out with you."
Luo Xun said, and then said to Lin Wenjue: "I will arrange Heizi to help transport these bones. Lao Lin, Lao Cao, you ask your colleagues at the police station to deal with it quickly. Be careful and inform us if there is any new discovery."
After Luo Xun and Ning Yi went out, Lin Wenjue and Cao Bin immediately took their colleagues from the police station to make preparations. Chi Xia checked the place where Xiao Zheng's body was found and went over to help.
"Lao Lin, Chi Xia, come over here and take a look."
Cao Bin was packing one of the corpses when he suddenly stopped and called Chi Xia and the others.
Chi Xia was closest to him and quickly went over: "What's wrong?"
Cao Bin carefully picked out something from the dirt on the corpse bit by bit: "Look, what is this?"
Lin Wenjue quickly handed over something containing the food.
Cao Bin was sweating profusely and worked for a long time before he finally took the thing down and restored it to its original appearance.
The original red thread has already rotted away and faded, and you can only vaguely recognize it as a pendant.
"This... is this a tooth?" Cao Bin looked at the last thing he picked out and asked Lin Wenjue and Chi Xia.
"It should be a dog tooth." Chi Xia put on gloves and picked up the tooth pendant with tweezers: "Do you have a brush?"
Someone nearby heard this and handed over a brush: "Can you use this?"
Chi Xia took a look and took it: "Yes."
Chi Xia cleaned the dog tooth with a brush and observed it in the sunlight: "There seems to be words on it."
"What is it?" Lin Wenjue and Cao Bin asked.
Chi Xia frowned: "It looks like the word 'ke', but it doesn't."
"Let me see." Lin Wenjue said.
Chi Xia handed it to him, and Yu Guangzhong saw Luo Xun coming in with Heizi.
"What are you doing?" Luo Xun asked a few steps away.
Cao Bin replied: "We found a dog tooth pendant on one of the skeletons. It seems that there is also a word engraved on the pendant. We are studying it now."
Lin Wenjue was holding up the dog's tooth, trying to find clues by changing the brightness of the light.
Luo Xun raised his arm and was about to say, "Let me see it." But before he could finish his words, Heizi, who was following him, rushed out and snatched the dog tooth from Lin Wenjue's hand with one sudden leap.
Chi Xia looked over and suddenly met Luo Xun's eyes.
At this moment, both of them had the same guess in their minds.
Everyone's eyes fell on Kuroko.
Heizi turned the dog tooth left and right, and when he saw the crooked carving marks on it, his face turned red in an instant, and the blue veins on his forehead instantly bulged.
He held the tooth tightly in one hand, pressing it close to his heart. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Chi Xia and the others with trembling and sobbing: "Where...where...where was this thing found?"
Looking at his appearance, Chi Xia's throat also tightened a little.
Before she could say anything, Heizi's tears had already fallen: "This is for Hammer, Brother Xun, this is a gift from me to Hammer, it's from me to him!"
His eyes were almost tearful, and he seemed to be begging hopelessly: "His body...his body is also here, right?"
Cao Bin lowered his head and wiped away his tears.
Luo Xun grabbed the collar behind his neck and hid his slightly moist eyes: "Heizi, Hammer is dead. You have already confirmed this. His body has been found, so he at least has a place to go. Cheer up! There are so many bodies here, we may not even be able to confirm who he is."
This scolding brought Heizi back to his senses suddenly. He relied on Luo Xun's strength to stand still, but his body swayed again.
Luo Xun supported him: "You still have important things to do, understand?"
"Yes, I have something else to do..."
Heizi slowly loosened his hand covering his heart and stared at the canine tooth in his palm for a long time. He wiped his tears and said, "Yes, crying is useless, Brother Xun, I know, I know crying is useless, I want to do the right thing, I want to avenge Hammer."
"There are thirty-six wronged souls here."
Luo Xun patted him on the back: "They all need your help, too."
Heizi wiped his tears fiercely again. He looked at the body bag behind him and the corpses that had not been put in yet. He also looked at Chi Xia, but the corners of his lips still trembled...
"Officer Chi...that boy...who...who is he...I...I can't recognize him..."
