While the two were eating, a slightly fat middle-aged man came to the underground water station and asked to see Chen Xing.
He was wearing a dark blue robe, round-rimmed glasses, holding a black book, and a silver cross hanging on his chest. Judging from his attire, he is a priest of the "Holy Light Church".
The Holy Light Church is one of the three major faiths in the Red Earth Continent and believes in "the only true God in the multiverse." As for the other two, one is the "New Zen" that believes in "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism", and the other is the "Supreme God Religion" that believes in "dimension mysticism".
The state religion of the Red Dragon Principality is the Holy Light Church, so there are churches everywhere. This middle-aged man is none other than Father Ma, the person in charge of "Coast Community", one of Chen Xing's territories.
Chen Xing left the restaurant and met the other party in the office.
"Captain Chen, what's wrong, someone died in Building 27..." Father Ma said in a panic when they first met.
Two hours ago, several residents came to report that their neighbor had been found murdered at home. He went to the scene and saw the victim died miserably, with blood everywhere on the ground. He was so frightened that he immediately notified the city defenders, and then hurriedly ran to notify Chen Xing.
The death of a refugee is a trivial matter, but the death of a citizen is a big deal. The case must be solved as soon as possible, the murderer punished, and the dignity of the law in Orchid Town must be maintained.
After hearing what Father Ma said, Chen Xing immediately called Yeyang Bailiu and Xiao Yang and drove the jeep straight to Orchid Town.
When they arrived at the coastal community, the three of them, led by Father Ma, came to the scene of the crime. The city defenders had already arrived first and put up warning tape prohibiting passage at the scene.
A team member wearing white gloves was squatting outside the cordon, stroking the lower jaw of a hound and feeding it.
"Captain Wu, Captain Chen is here." Going upstairs and outside the door, Father Ma said inside.
Then, a young man with a gloomy face and wearing a lieutenant's epaulettes came out and looked at Chen Xing and the others unceremoniously. When he saw Ye Yang Bailiu, he was stunned for a moment. It took him a few seconds to come back to his senses. With a straight face, he asked Chen Xing, "Are you Chen Xing?"
Faced with such a direct inquiry, Chen Xing also turned cold and said, "Yes."
Before coming here, he learned from Father Ma that the lieutenant of the city defenders was called "Wu Hao" and was responsible for some chores in the city.
"Come in with me." After saying that, Wu Hao turned around and entered the room. Before entering, he glanced at Ye Yang Bailiu, as if Chen Xing was transparent.
Even though he was a little unhappy, the other party had a higher military rank than him, so Chen Xing couldn't help but follow him.
There was blood everywhere in the room. A man was lying on his back on the bed, rolling his eyes. His chest was dug open and all his organs were taken out. They were scattered around the bed, black and red, very disgusting.
A woman wearing rubber gloves and a nurse's uniform was standing beside the bed, leaning over the body to examine it. Behind her, a man in a white coat stood, watching the nurse's movements while taking notes.
"Doctor Li, please tell them about the situation." Wu Hao ordered.
"The deceased's chest and abdomen were cut open with a sharp weapon, and then torn to both sides with great force. I detected a small amount of calcium on the wound, and the murder weapon was most likely a fingernail."
"The time of death was around two o'clock in the morning. All the belongings of the deceased and his home were stolen, and his black watch was smashed. The motive for the crime should be burglary and murder."
"In addition, the heart of the corpse is missing, and the murderer may have a certain degree of psychological distortion."
After the doctor finished speaking, he stepped aside and continued writing his notes.
"Miss, what do you think?" Wu Hao smiled at Ye Yang Bailiu and asked.
When Chen Xing saw this, he frowned imperceptibly. This Wu Hao didn't take him seriously at all. He went directly past him as the captain and asked his female subordinate. Sima Zhaoxin is known to everyone on the road.
"No." Ye Yang Bailiu replied coldly. He stared straight ahead without even looking at Wu Hao. This reaction made Chen Xing feel very happy. As expected of the eldest lady of the Ye Yang family, she puts on such a professional air.
Wu Hao was stunned for a moment, and a smile froze on his face. After a while, he managed a smile and asked, "Beauty, do you know who I am?"
Without waiting for Ye Yang Bailiu to answer, he asked and answered with a bit of pride, "I am Wu Hao, the squadron leader of the city defense brigade. If you want to be transferred here, we are always welcome."
"Not interested!" Ye Yang Bailiu raised his voice, his voice extremely cold and stern.
"You..." Wu Hao's face turned blue and white for a while, and his fists were clenched tightly. It seemed that he didn't expect that Ye Yang Bailiu didn't even give him any face, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Check it first. If you find anything, we'll discuss it later." Chen Xing ordered.
"Yes!" Ye Yang Bailiu and Xiao Yang responded at the same time, and then began to check the objects in the room.
Seeing the two people walking back and forth in the room, Wu Hao gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and said to the doctor and nurse, "Let's go."
When he came out of the door, Wu Hao looked back at Ye Yang Bailiu again. But from beginning to end, the latter never looked at him, even once.
Chen Xing didn't bother to pay attention to Wu Hao. The other party's attitude just now made him very uncomfortable. Now he was poaching his people in front of him. He simply regarded him as a fool.
Not long after, the three of them checked the scene and went outside. At this time, Wu Hao had already left with others. In other words, they have no testing equipment and no hunting dogs available. It was obvious that Wu Hao was deliberately making things difficult for them. If the murderer cannot be found, his prestige will decline, and he will not be able to complain to the mayor about this trivial matter.
What's more, talking about this kind of thing is based on rumors and has no basis or evidence. God knows who offended whom first. He went to the mayor and told him that he would be considered incompetent, so he had to solve the case on his own.
"It's really bad!" Xiao Yang cursed angrily.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Ye Yang Bailiu said to Chen Xing with some apology.
"No, you did a good job!" Chen Xing gave a thumbs up and praised.
"What's so good about it?" Ye Yang Bailiu asked with slightly curved corners of his mouth.
"They are all very good, perfect." Chen Xing said.
"Salary increase?" Ye Yang Bailiu asked.
"Well..." Chen Xing pondered for a while, then changed the topic and said, "Come on, let's analyze the case."
"Without instruments and hounds, it's difficult to find clues," Xiao Yang said.
"Didn't the doctor say before that property was missing from the deceased's home? If you encounter such a thing, you should go to the back alley to ask someone," Chen Xing said.
