The next day.
In the underground base of the Heping Office, Zhang Yun just appeared at the door and saw Lin Qiye.
Their eyes met and they smiled at each other, their tacit understanding needing no words.
Everything was said without words, their eye contact conveyed a thousand words.
After entering the underground base, Wen Qimo frowned, and his expression revealed a hint of uneasiness.
It seemed like something urgent had happened.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qiye noticed Wen Qimo's abnormality and asked immediately.
Wen Qimo sighed softly, with a hint of worry in his voice.
"Something went wrong! The bar owner who was the scene of the fourth death is missing!" His words made everyone present nervous.
“Although this bar owner seems fine on the surface, we always feel like something is wrong!
So we sent someone to keep watch outside his house!" Wen Qimo continued to explain, a hint of self-blame flickering in his eyes, and he was obviously surprised and worried about the disappearance of the bar owner.
“But today he didn’t go out as usual!
So the stalkers hurried up to investigate!
But I found out that the bar owner has disappeared!" Wen Qimo's words were heavy, as he knew that the missing bar owner might be the key clue to the case.
His disappearance may bring greater difficulties to the investigation of the case.
Lin Qiye frowned, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Is it possible that he is deliberately avoiding our surveillance?" There was a hint of inquiry in his voice, and he was obviously thinking about various possibilities.
Wen Qimo shook his head and said, "We have checked the surveillance cameras near his home and found nothing unusual.
And his personal belongings were all there, it didn't look like he left intentionally."
His words made the atmosphere even more tense. If the bar owner did not leave voluntarily, then his disappearance might involve more complicated circumstances.
Zhang Yun stood quietly aside, his eyes deep, as if he could see through everything.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an elusive smile.
His face was calm as water, as if the bar owner's disappearance had nothing to do with him. This calm attitude seemed particularly abrupt in the tense atmosphere.
Lin Qiye noticed Zhang Yun's expression, and a hint of curiosity appeared on his face.
He didn't expect that Zhang Yun could maintain such an expression in such a tense situation.
Lin Qiye felt something was strange. This was not like Zhang Yun's usual style at all, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his mind.
"Then the clue is broken now, isn't it?" Lin Qiye asked, with a hint of worry in his voice.
This case was already complicated and difficult to solve, and now the only clue - the disappearance of the bar owner - has brought their investigation to a standstill.
"Yes! Now we are in a passive situation! This case is like an unsolved case." There was a hint of helplessness in Wen Qimo's voice, and his expression seemed a little depressed.
"Now the only person we suspect, the bar owner, has also disappeared!" He spread his hands helplessly, expressing his helplessness about the current situation.
"Qi Ye, this has happened now! I can't accompany you to see the fifth murder scene for the time being! You have to go and see it by yourselves!" Wen Qi Mo turned to Lin Qi Ye with a hint of apology in his tone.
He knew that Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun needed his help, but the current situation prevented him from splitting himself.
Lin Qiye nodded slightly to show his understanding.
"No problem, we'll go check it out on the spot." His voice was firm, revealing an unyielding determination.
He knew that even without Wen Qimo's company, he and Zhang Yun had to continue investigating and uncover the truth of the case.
.....
Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun drove to the hospital, their steps firm and quick.
At the hospital reception, they found the hospital director.
The two men presented relevant documents to indicate their identities and purpose.
After confirming their identities, the hospital director immediately led them to the murder scene.
The murder scene was located in an extremely inconspicuous ward of the hospital.
A police seal was placed on the ward door, indicating it was a crime scene.
Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun gently pulled off the seal and pushed open the door of the ward.
Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun slowly pushed open the door of the ward and stepped into a slightly narrow space.
The area of this ward is not big and can only accommodate a small bed. At this moment, the bed is empty, the sheets have been removed, leaving only the bare mattress.
The light in the room was a little dim, and the smell of disinfectant still lingered in the air.
Some traces and bloodstains that may have been on the wall have been cleaned up. It is obvious that the police thoroughly cleaned the scene after completing the evidence collection work.
Although this cleaning work erased direct physical evidence, it also made the scene less intuitive and impactful.
However, despite this, several sharp holes on the wall are still clearly visible. They are like hideous wounds, accusing the horrific events that once happened here.
These holes are of different sizes and irregularly distributed, as if someone had used great force to drive nails or other sharp objects into the wall.
Lin Qiye's gaze lingered on these holes for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was reconstructing the scene of the crime in his mind.
"These holes..." he whispered to himself, a hint of heaviness in his voice.
Zhang Yun also noticed these holes. He walked forward and observed them carefully.
He stretched out his finger and gently touched the edge of one of the holes, feeling the rough edge and the cold touch.
"The shapes and sizes of these holes..." Zhang Yun pondered, a hint of complexity in his eyes.
Lin Qiye's eyes were sharp as he observed the holes carefully.
"This is the mark left by the nail that nailed a person to the wall!" His voice was low, and every word revealed a seriousness and anger.
Zhang Yun nodded slightly.
Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun carefully checked every corner in the ward. Their eyes were sharp and they did not miss any place where clues might be hidden.
They checked holes in the walls, touched surfaces that might have fingerprints, and even checked the air circulation and light changes in the ward, hoping to find some clues.
However, after careful investigation, the two did not find any special clues.
Everything in the ward seemed to have been cleaned too thoroughly, leaving almost no trace of value except for the holes.
There was a hint of disappointment in their expressions, but they did not give up. They knew that solving the case often required more patience and wisdom.
Afterwards, the two walked out of the ward. Outside, the hospital director stood outside, sweating profusely. His body unconsciously moved away from the ward, his eyes revealing fear of the ward.
After all, the deaths here were so brutal that they were enough to give anyone nightmares just thinking about it.
If it weren't for the request of the officials, he would never set foot in this place.
Lin Qiye looked at the pale-faced person in charge outside and felt a sense of understanding in his heart.
He knew that even experienced doctors and nurses might feel uncomfortable when faced with such cases.
"Now take us to the morgue to see the body!" Lin Qiye's voice was calm and firm. He knew that this might be a difficult task.
But for the investigation of the case, examining the body may be an important way to obtain clues.
When the person in charge heard the word "corpse", his face turned even paler, but he still nodded seriously to show his agreement.
He took Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun through the hospital corridor and came to the morgue.
The temperature in the morgue was very low, and the air was filled with a unique coldness and silence.
The person in charge was leading the way in front. His movements were a little stiff and he was obviously trying hard to control his emotions.
Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun followed closely behind, their expressions serious, ready to face a reality that might be even more cruel.
The voice of the person in charge echoed in the corridor outside the morgue. His expression was serious, with a hint of unquestionable authority.
"Old man Li! Open the door quickly! Take the two brothers to see the body of the murder case that day!" His words revealed the importance he attached to the case and his trust in Old Man Li.
Old man Li, an old man with white hair and wrinkled skin, slowly walked out of his lounge.
His eyes were cloudy, revealing the traces of time and endless vicissitudes.
He glanced at Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun, and that glance seemed to contain an examination of the younger generation and memories of past experiences.
"Follow me!" Old man Li's voice was hoarse and low, his words were short and powerful, revealing an unquestionable command.
Although his movements were slow, each step seemed firm and steady.
Old man Li walked to the door of the morgue and skillfully opened the lock with his wrinkled hands.
As the door of the morgue slowly opened, a gust of cold air blew in my face, as if it was a cold wind blowing from another world, making me shudder.
The cold air made the person in charge at the back shiver all over. His body tightened unconsciously, as if trying to resist the chill from death.
His face turned even paler, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He was obviously uneasy about the scene he was about to face.
Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun followed closely in Old Man Li's footsteps, their expressions firm. Although they were facing death and terror, their sense of mission and responsibility made them fearless.
They know that this is not just an investigation into a case, but also a final respect for a life and a pursuit of the truth.
The lights in the morgue were dim, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant and death.
Old Man Li led them through rows of cold metal morgues and came to the cabinet where the body was stored.
His movements were skillful and calm, as if he was accustomed to such scenes.
With the harsh sound of the corpse cabinet slowly being opened, a chilling cold air rushed out of the cabinet, carrying the breath of death.
However, when the cabinet door was fully opened, the scene before them surprised everyone present.
The key body should have been lying in the body cabinet, but now it is empty and there is no trace of any body.
The metal inside the cabinet shone with a cold luster, reflecting the shocked faces of several people.
"How could this happen!" Old man Li's originally cloudy eyes suddenly became much clearer, and his pupils shrank slightly because of shock.
His face turned ugly, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
His voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously caught off guard by this sudden situation.
The person in charge at the back was originally walking at the end of the team because of fear, but after hearing what Old Man Li said, he also felt the seriousness of the matter.
He hurried forward, looked inside, and his face instantly became even paler.
"The body is missing!!!" There was a hint of panic and disbelief in the voice of the person in charge.
His eyes scanned back and forth in the empty body cabinet, as if trying to find traces of the body in some corner.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. This discovery was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.
Lin Qiye quickly calmed down. He knew that now was not the time to panic and he had to take action immediately.
"Check the surveillance immediately to see when the body disappeared and whether there were any suspicious people approaching here." His voice was firm and powerful, and he immediately gave instructions for the next course of action.
He then began to carefully observe the environment around the body cabinet, looking for clues that might have been overlooked.
"Check around the cabinet and see if there are any traces left, even a strand of hair or fiber." He knew that any tiny clue could be the key to solving the mystery.
Although Old Man Li and the person in charge were shocked, they acted quickly and began investigating according to Lin Qiye's instructions.
The atmosphere in the morgue became tense and serious. Everyone knew that they were facing an unprecedented challenge.
A moment later, Lin Qiye stood in the monitoring room, staring at the screen in deep thought, his brows furrowed, his expression revealing deep doubt.
"This is a bit strange!" He whispered to himself, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
"Under normal circumstances, this corpse should not disappear!" Lin Qiye continued, with a thoughtful glint in his eyes.
"The murderer can't be so bored!" There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, and he was obviously puzzled by the murderer's behavior.
Normally, the murderer should have fled the scene quickly after committing the crime, rather than risking returning to steal the body.
"It's impossible that the murderer killed someone and then stole the body!" There was a hint of doubt in Lin Qiye's voice. He couldn't understand the murderer's motive.
This behavior is not only extremely risky, but also seems to have no logic at all.
When they went to the monitoring room and checked the surveillance video, they found that a young man in black clothes took the body away.
The surveillance footage was not clear. Only a blurry figure could be seen moving quickly in the night, taking the body away.
Lin Qiye looked at the figure, and somehow he felt a sense of familiarity.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if he was searching for someone who matched this figure in his memory.
But Zhang Yun next to him had an extremely strange look in his eyes at this moment.
