“This… You mean, these two people were not in a straight line, their heights were different, but they died at the same time? And their wounds were exactly the same?”
Wang An’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
He has worked as a security officer for decades and has dealt with all kinds of difficult cases, but this is the first time he has encountered such a strange and bizarre incident.
He couldn’t help but recall the incident he had heard before about people cutting off their heads with kite strings. That was already unbelievable enough.
But how could the kite string be so coincidental as to cut the necks of several people of different heights evenly?
This is simply against common sense, but the facts before us make us think in this direction.
Wang An’s words stunned the forensic doctor who was concentrating on the identification for a moment, and the movement of his hands also stopped.
After a long while, the forensic doctor slowly spoke: “This is just a guess at the moment. I really can’t think of any other way to cause such fine wounds.”
This conversation made the forensic doctor’s investigation direction clear at once, and he hurriedly moved closer to carefully examine the wounds on the necks of several people.
Indeed, each wound was eerily neat, as if it had been cut with surgical precision by a highly skilled surgeon, without the slightest deviation.
Seeing this scene, everyone had a terrible inference in their hearts: this person was most likely silenced by the gang, and those who carried out the silence must have undergone special training, otherwise it would be impossible to do it so cleanly and efficiently.
Just as everyone was lost in thought, a colleague who had been checking surveillance video called in a hurry.
An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: “Brother Wang, the surveillance in this alley has been checked clearly. In addition to a few gangsters who appear daily, there is only one high school student named Xu Yiren and a middle-aged man who suddenly appeared.
And from the surveillance footage, Xu Yiren and the man seemed to know each other, and the two were talking and laughing. ”
After Wang An heard this, his face darkened and he immediately said, “Sir, let’s go to Xu Yiren’s house and find out what’s going on.”
He subconsciously touched the pistol at his waist, and a strong intuition surged in his heart. There was definitely something wrong with these two people. Even if they were not the murderers, they were most likely one of the important witnesses.
As night falls quietly, the ordinary streets are quiet, but the wealthy areas and villa areas are as lively as day.
Today, the old man Qin Gong from the Qin family, one of the three major families in the entire Anshi City, celebrated his ninetieth birthday. This was a big event in Anshi City, and many prominent figures came to celebrate.
Except for the core members of the three major families, Qin, Liu, and Zheng, most of the other guests just put down their carefully prepared gifts, exchanged a few simple greetings, and then left tactfully.
Everyone knew that Old Master Qin didn’t like noisy occasions, especially a few years ago when the eldest grandson of the Qin family met with an accident and was framed and sent to prison. He then disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Since then, Old Master Qin became more withdrawn and lost interest in many things.
“Uncle Qin, are you feeling well lately?”
Liu Wang looked at Qin Gong, who had an expressionless face, and spoke cautiously.
Once upon a time, the three major families, Qin, Liu, and Zheng, were closely connected, all because the founders of the three families were sworn brothers.
They often played together when they were young and had a deep affection for each other.
But now, Qin Gong is the only founder of the three major families left. Looking at Qin Gong’s slightly haggard and lonely appearance, Liu Wang felt uncomfortable.Looking back, in order to find the whereabouts of the eldest grandson of the Qin family, the three major families mobilized all the connections they could and asked around.
However, the reply received was extremely bizarre. It only said that the person disappeared, and even all the people related to Anping City Prison disappeared.
Although there is no corroboration from the families of the prison inmates, the outrageousness of this incident makes people wonder whether the Dragon State officials are deliberately concealing something.
However, they were under pressure from their superiors and were explicitly not allowed to continue the in-depth investigation. With no other options, they were forced to put the matter on hold.
“I can’t die! Is that little Zheng He planning to return home this year? Don’t let him run away. It won’t be too late for him to come back after I die!”
Qin Gong’s words were cold, but it was not difficult to hear the meaning of anger in his tone. Liu Wang smiled helplessly and shook his head, saying: “Zheng He came back a long time ago, and he came back this time just to celebrate your 90th birthday.
If you don’t let him in, he’ll probably kneel down at the door and cry and beg to come in.”
As soon as Liu Wang finished speaking, a servant appeared at the door in a hurry. He first glanced at the two of them, then hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully, “Old Master, Zheng He, the head of the Zheng family, has arrived.”
“Well, that guy Qin Wen, is he still not planning to come back this year?” Qin Gong nodded and asked casually.
Hearing this, the servant hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and saying, “This… Director Qin said that there is a batch of orders this year that are urgent and time is very tight. He may not be able to come back.”
Hearing the servant’s words, Qin Gong’s eyes flashed with a barely perceptible helplessness. He sighed softly and said, “Well, let Qin Yue and Tian Ming come over. The guests are all here.”
“Yes, old master, I will call the young lady and the young master right away.”
After receiving the order, the servant left in a hurry.
As the servant left, Qin Gong slowly stood up. Liu Wang, who was standing beside him, hurried forward to support him and said caringly, “Uncle Qin, please go slowly.”
“Let’s go, let this old man live his life for me, hahahaha.”
Qin Gong smiled self-deprecatingly, and with the help of Liu Wang, he took the elevator from the fifth floor to the first floor of the villa.
When the elevator door slowly opened and Qin Gong walked out of the elevator, the originally noisy and bustling hall suddenly became quiet, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at him.
“Zheng He of the Zheng family, I wish you a happy birthday. I hope you will live as long as the Southern Mountains.”
A square-faced, sturdy man strode in from outside. This man was Zheng He.
“Hahaha, then I’ll take advantage of your good words, Xiao Zheng. Don’t be so polite. I’ll just come out for a while. You guys should eat and drink later, and then I’ll go back.”
Qin Gong responded with a smile, then motioned for Liu Wang to come out as well. He planned to go back to the rooftop to continue resting.
Qin Yue, who was standing by, saw her son Qin Tianming still standing timidly behind her, and suddenly felt a little disappointed. She whispered, “Why don’t you wish your grandfather a happy birthday?”
“Mom! Don’t you know how horrible grandpa’s face was when we celebrated his birthday last year? I dare not and I won’t.”
Qin Tianming understood his mother’s thoughts. Now he was the only grandson left in the Qin family. If he could behave well in front of his grandfather and work hard, he might even become the next successor of the Qin family.
But now Qin Gong obviously hasn’t gotten over the feelings of being the eldest grandson. If he doesn’t step forward at this time, he will simply be walking into his grandfather’s trap and causing trouble for himself.
Ding! Just as Qin Gong pressed the elevator button and the elevator sounded, preparing to go up, a crisp voice suddenly came:
“Grandpa, why did you go to bed without even eating your birthday cake? You said you would give me a sports car on your 90th birthday! Are you trying to default on your debt?”
