"Did this man really freeze to death?"
If it weren't for the doctor who said this, Zhou Yue would have suspected that he was joking with himself.
Apart from anything else, when he came in, he saw at a glance that the air conditioner hanging on the wall was still on, and the real-time temperature was 30 degrees.
How could this temperature freeze someone to death?
“Judging from the body reaction of the deceased, he was indeed frozen to death.
But under normal circumstances, if a person really encounters extremely cold temperatures, the first reaction is to add more clothes to the body instead of taking off all the clothes.
The indoor temperature is currently suitable. If the deceased encountered extreme temperatures during his lifetime and suffered instantaneous hypothermia, he would most likely enter a state of suspended animation.
We must take the person back to the hospital immediately for another comprehensive examination and rescue! "
Facing Zhou Yue, the doctor did not hide anything, but explained Lu Rui's current situation very seriously.
Considering another possibility, after explaining, the doctor took Lu Rui and left first.
In the office, apart from the people brought by Zhou Yue, the only ones left were a few contractors who were already frightened.
"Check the surrounding environment first and test whether there are conditions that can maliciously freeze a person to death!"
Zhou Yue looked serious as he ordered his men.
From the beginning to now, the outdoor temperature has been a little lower, but in any case it cannot reach the level that would freeze people to death.
It’s even more impossible inside the room!
With the air conditioner running, the temperature was even higher than usual, completely unable to meet the conditions that would freeze someone to death.
Full of doubts, Zhou Yue really couldn't figure it out.
If the deceased was really frozen to death, the cause of death would be so outrageous that no one would believe it.
Zhou Yue's men all stared at each other with their eyes widened.
This condition is really too demanding.
If it were any other way to die, they would still be able to believe it, but freezing to death is really unbelievable.
Now, the doctor has taken the deceased away and is preparing to go to the hospital to perform possible resuscitation on the deceased.
Zhou Yue and the others currently have no way to conduct a more detailed investigation into the cause of death of the deceased.
Under such circumstances, no matter how serious the doubts about the cause of death are, they should be put behind them for the time being and the investigation and interrogation of the situation at the scene should be conducted.
The people in the Criminal Division are very efficient in handling cases.
First, several contractors who were obviously frightened in the office were interrogated separately, and they got exactly the same confession.
The contractor used to stay in their office, and several of them were together, testifying against each other, and had complete alibi.
No one knew what happened to Lu Rui in his own office.
Zhou Yue, who was standing leaning against the door frame, had greater doubts in his mind as he listened to his men's report.
According to the current clues, Lu Rui froze to death alone in his office. Of course, he may not have froze to death.
The actual temperature, whether outdoors or indoors, cannot reach the level that would freeze a person to death.
Until now, the case has revealed some weirdness, but no answer can be found.
A bright light suddenly flashed in his mind. When he came in just now, the workers who were watching seemed to be saying that he deserved it, God took his life away!
Why would God take someone's life inexplicably?
Unless, this person did something!
His expression instantly became more serious. Without bothering to explain anything to the team members, Zhou Yue immediately stood up straight and walked downstairs.
The workers did not disperse, but gathered together, pointing towards the office.
"Did Lu Rui do something on the construction site? Or even risk a life?"
In the eyes of everyone, God is the fairest. If Lu Rui deserves it and God takes away his life, if the workers understand it this way, from another perspective, it also means that Lu Rui has done something that can make him Being punished by God, you have to pay for it with your life.
The first thing Zhou Yue thought of was to exchange his life for his life.
Hearing Zhou Yue's straightforward question, the workers subconsciously took two steps back. The expressions on each person's face were different, but they all contained complexity and an indescribable meaning.
Among them, there were a few younger-looking men whose mouth corners moved, as if they wanted to say something. I don’t know what they thought of, but they chose to remain silent.
Noticing this scene with sharp eyes, Zhou Yue decisively took out his ID.
"I am the second captain of the Criminal Division. Because a human life case has occurred on your construction site, I hope you can cooperate with my investigation. You have the right not to answer my questions. Likewise, every word you say may be It will become the key to solving the case. Once something is concealed, I believe you know what the consequences may be!"
Knowing that these workers may really know something, because of his identity and Lu Rui's majesty on the construction site, in order to save the workers' own jobs, they may hide something, so Zhou Yue's tone became harsh stand up.
Thinking of Zhou Yue's identity and the punishment department, the workers became even more frightened. They pushed each other as if they wanted to push someone out.
Finally, a young man from A Niu village stood up.
"Can you really solve the case?"
The voice was soft, but the big man looked at Zhou Yue with hidden expectations.
"No matter what the case is, it will eventually be solved. Believe me, I will do my best to investigate all cases!"
Looking directly at the big man in front of him, Zhou Yue made his promise almost word for word.
"There was a black hole in that place, which appeared after the stone tablet was removed. A fellow villager of mine named A Niu was ordered by Lu Rui to go into the black hole to explore, and then the person disappeared. If you can really solve the case, can you Get A Niu back?"
A Niu was brought by the big man to the construction site to earn money. Since A Niu didn't come out of the black hole, the big man was in a bad mood. Now facing Zhou Yue, he finally told everything.
"What?"
"Are you saying that before Lu Rui's death, there had been a murder case at your construction site?"
"Why didn't you call the police as soon as possible? It was a human life. What were you thinking?"
He never expected to get such news from the workers. Zhou Yue was furious. They dared to hide such a big thing.
Facing the somewhat angry Zhou Yue, the workers stood tightly together, looked at him timidly, and whispered a few words. ,
"The manager refused to call the police and smashed his cell phone!"
"If we call the police, we'll have no work to do!"
In response, Zhou Yue became angry and pointed at the workers in front of him, but he didn't know what to say.
Picking up a flashlight next to him, Zhou Yue walked towards the black hole pointed by the previous worker.
Because of the barrier, Zhou Yue quickly found the so-called black hole.
When the flashlight's light came in, it was immediately swallowed up. All Zhou Yue could see in his eyes was black.
I shouted a few words into the black hole, but there was no reply.
Pick up a stone and throw it in, but there will be no sound.
The black hole was obviously bottomless, and Zhou Yue frowned tightly.
If what the workers said was correct and Aniu really entered this black hole, he would most likely lose his life.
Zhou Yue didn't know much about the black hole. He called the workers over and asked what the black hole was and how it was formed!
The workers' views on black holes are also consistent.
After dismantling Baiwu Temple, we first dug out a stone tablet. The stone tablet was moved out, and there was a black hole underneath.
It can be said that the stone tablet is used to block the black hole.
Until now, A Niu has been the only one to go down the black hole.
As for how deep the black hole is and where it leads, no one knows.
When Zhou Yue and the others received the alarm, they originally thought there was only one deceased person. Who would have thought that as the investigation continued, no useful clues were found, and another case was discovered. A worker entered the black hole, and his life and death were unknown. No one was found alive and dead. No body was seen.
Now the Baiwuguan construction site is no longer a human life case. Due to the importance of the Baiwuguan construction site, the situation here must be reported to the director as soon as possible.
He asked his men to go back to the Criminal Division to report on the case, while Zhou Yue rushed towards the hospital.
He must grasp the situation on Lu Rui's side immediately.
The car was driving very fast on the road, only to rush into the hospital.
Zhou Yuecai rushed into the emergency room and saw a doctor in a white coat pushing a trolley towards the elevator. The person lying on the lathe was covered with a layer of white cloth.
The hospital's elevator leading to the morgue was dedicated, so Zhou Yue could tell at a glance that the doctor was pushing the person to the morgue. If he could be pushed to the morgue, the person lying on the lathe would already be a dead body.
"I am Zhou Yue, the second captain of the Criminal Division. Doctor, I would like to know how Lu Rui, who was sent from the Baiwu Mountain construction site, is doing now?"
Seeing Zhou Yue's ID, the doctor looked up and said, "By the time the deceased was delivered to the hospital, it was already too late.
According to the data from various examinations, Lu Rui's physical condition was consistent with the characteristics of being frozen to death. He was confirmed to have died. The cause of death was freezing to death! "
Before rushing to the hospital, Zhou Yue still had a glimmer of hope, but now, the doctor's words shattered all his hopes.
"Doctor, his condition, the room temperature at the scene, and the outdoor temperature all make it impossible for a living person to freeze to death!"
Even though he had seen Lu Rui's death report, Zhou Yue still couldn't believe it. It was unreasonable at all!
When the doctor heard what Zhou Yue said, the expression on his face became serious, "The condition of the deceased is indeed strange.
Normally, a person can freeze to death because he has been in a low-temperature environment for a long time, which exceeds the limit of body temperature regulation. This may lead to impairment of material metabolism and physiological functions.
Before freezing to death, the human body will first suffer from frostbite. This is an inevitable reaction.
We examined Lu Rui's body and found no scars or injuries caused by frostbite.
As for being able to freeze to death, the external environment is extremely cold, and the body's temperature continues to drop.
When the body temperature drops below 25 degrees Celsius, the function of the thermoregulatory center is extremely exhausted, leading to suppression of breathing and heartbeat, a sharp drop in blood pressure, and finally paralysis of the vasomotor center and respiratory center, leading to death.
These all need to meet a premise, which is an extreme cold environment.
The environment in which the deceased lived was not sufficient to support him from freezing to death.
There will be no problem with the autopsy results. I'm afraid you still need to ask the Criminal Division to conduct a deeper investigation before you can possibly figure out the cause of the deceased's death! "
The doctors can only examine the deceased and give the cause of death. As for other aspects, they can't help.
The doctor himself had never encountered the situation of the deceased, and he also hoped that the Criminal Division could find out the cause.
Zhou Yue understood the doctor's explanation, but he still couldn't understand it.
He originally thought he would get an answer after arriving at the hospital. However, not only did he not have an answer, he was even more confused.
If the conclusion hadn't been given by a doctor, Zhou Yue would never have believed it if someone else had told him that a living person could be frozen to death in an environment of more than 20 degrees Celsius.
It is useless for him not to believe it now. The person is dead and the cause of death has been given. How to investigate this case is what Zhou Yue needs to do most at the moment.
Rushing back to the Criminal Division, Zhou Yu immediately went to the director's office.
"Zhou Yue, are you awake? Listen to what you say for yourself. Is it normal? Is it reasonable?"
After listening to Zhou Yue's report, the director had an incredible expression on his face, and looked at Zhou Yue with eyes full of suspicion.
"Under normal temperatures, a living person froze to death? Are you sure you are not telling a fantasy?"
Facing the director's suspicion, Zhou Yue showed a helpless smile. He placed the autopsy report he brought back on his desk, "Director, the deceased's name is Lu Rui, the person in charge of the Baiwushan Development Project of Yusheng Real Estate. , was found dead in his office three hours ago.
The scene was well preserved, the air conditioner was turned on, and the indoor temperature was between 28 and 30 degrees.
The operating power of the air conditioner can prove that before the death of the deceased, the air conditioner had been running for more than eight hours without any interruption!
The doctor examined Lu Rui and concluded that he was indeed frozen to death. "
While looking at the autopsy report and listening to Zhou Yue's explanation, the director also had a look of shock on his face.
After being silent for a while, the director slowly spoke, "There must be something wrong with this matter. You must investigate it as soon as possible!"
Of course Zhou Yue understood what the director meant. After nodding, he continued, "This is another thing I want to say.
After the Baiwu Temple was demolished, there was a black hole underneath.
Before Lu Rui died, he sent workers into the black hole.
The worker never came back, and his life or death is unknown.
Lu Rui suppressed the matter.
We also need to open a case for investigation into this matter.
I believe that if we hurry up, it is very possible to rescue the worker! "
Hearing that there was still a black hole and there were even workers inside, the director immediately sat up straight and gave an order to Zhou Yue without hesitation: "File a case immediately. You take people to the construction site to find a way to get the workers to work first." Rescue them. Even if something bad happened to the workers, you must bring the bodies up.
The development project of Baiwu Mountain is also an important project for the county government. I will also get in touch with the county government to see what they think about the project.
On your side, hurry up and watch, be sure to investigate and solve the case before it spreads! "
With the words of the director, Zhou Yue went out to make preparations without hesitation.
Regarding the accidental death of Lu Rui, the person in charge of the Baiwu Mountain Project, a case was formally filed and the Second Team of the Criminal Investigation Department was responsible for the investigation. Captain Zhou Yue led the team to investigate.
The first thing they have to do is to enter the black hole and find the missing workers.
When the Criminal Division handles cases, it is natural to have a complete set of professional tools and equipment, which is much safer than the rope A Niu used before.
The heavily armed members of the Punishment Division slowly entered the black hole with the help of their teammates.
Zhou Yue wore an earphone, constantly debugging signals, and kept in contact with the team members who entered the black hole.
"0101, please answer when you receive it!"
"Captain, 01 received it, the signal is normal, it is still going down, the cave is very dark, and no trace of worker activity has been found so far!"
"Can you feel the space inside a black hole?"
"Report to the captain, the width of the black hole has not changed, only one person can pass through, and the detector has not found any life forms!"
"Continue going down, find where the workers are, and find out how deep the black hole is!"
The team member's report came from the headset. Zhou Yue frowned and asked him to continue walking down.
Time is waiting, passing extremely slowly.
At first, the team members responded, and Zhou Yue's mood did not fluctuate much. However, as the team members continued to descend, the sound coming from the headset became smaller and smaller, and there was no response for a while.
"0101, what's going on over there? Please answer when you receive it!"
"Zizzizi, zizizi——"
There was a sizzling sound of electricity, and the signal on the headset seemed to be affected and there was a problem.
"Captain, there's a ghost, there's a ghost!"
"ah--"
The voices of the team members seemed to come from a very far away place, accompanied by the sizzling sound of electric current that made the ears hurt, and the frightened voices passed into Zhou Yue's ears.
"Quick, retract the line quickly and pull the person up!"
Giving orders hurriedly, Zhou Yue patted the headset, trying to get in touch with the other party again.
The person in charge of the punishment department was very fast and took back the rope that was lowered in a short time.
Seeing the brightly colored blood stains on the rope, everyone present fell silent.
That member disappeared.
"Where is the person? Why is he missing?"
Standing at the entrance of the black hole, looking inside, you can see nothing but black.
What secrets are hidden in this black hole?
What did the team members shout at the end, "There are ghosts, there are ghosts," mean?
Is it possible that there are really ghosts in this world?
Countless doubts flashed in his mind, and Zhou Yue couldn't even calm down.
The gloomy sky and dull wind give people a feeling that a storm is coming.
From Lu Rui being inexplicably frozen to death, to the workers disappearing in the black hole, and now there is another person to prosecute the punishment, these things are connected together, Zhou Yue has a vague feeling, this is just the beginning...
——
Linjun County Government.
After sending Zhou Yue to take people to the construction site to continue the investigation, Li Chong, the director of the Criminal Investigation Department, did not waste time and went directly to the county governor Wei Jianshui.
After listening to Li Chong's words, the expression on Wei Jianshui's face did not change much, "Director Li, you said that the person in charge of the Baiwushan project of Yusheng Real Estate froze to death on the construction site. How is this possible?
Even if you want to make up a story for me, you still have to follow some logic! "
Wei Jianshui didn't believe it at all that Lu Rui froze to death.
What time of the year is it now? There is no cold storage on the construction site. How could people freeze to death?
Li Chong's face was full of justice, "Chief, I'm not joking, let alone making up a story. I have brought Lu Rui's autopsy report, and the Sheriff can review it in person!
I don't want to believe that someone would freeze to death in such temperatures, but this is the fact! "
After staring at Li Chong for a long time, seeing that the expression on his face did not change at all, Wei Jianshui lowered his head and looked at the report he had just handed over.
"Magistrate, the project name is Baiwu Mountain. My suggestion is to suspend all construction site activities and seal off the entire Baiwu Mountain. The project can not continue until the case is clearly investigated..."
Seeing Wei Jianshui's brows frowning little by little, Li Chong also expressed his views on the Baiwushan construction site.
It takes time for the Criminal Division to handle cases. In order to prevent any accidents from happening in the process, suspending construction at the construction site is the best solution.
Wei Jianshui did not immediately agree to Li Chong's suggestion, mainly because the Baiwu Mountain project was too important and he had to consider it.
"The Sheriff——"
Li Chong was very anxious. Human life was at stake, so he couldn't waste any time!
"Jingle Bell--"
Before he could speak, Li Chong's cell phone rang first.
Seeing the word Zhou Yue flashing on the screen, Li Chong immediately answered the phone.
"Director, it's not good. We were conducting an investigation at the Baiwu Mountain construction site. Our people went down into the black hole and disappeared inexplicably. The ropes pulled up were empty and no one was seen!"
As soon as the call was connected, before Li Chong could even speak, Zhou Yue's urgent voice came over first.
"What?"
"Can you get in touch with anyone now?"
Li Chong was even more anxious.
"Director, the black hole seems to be able to swallow even signals. We have tried every method, but we can't contact our people!
After sending the drone into the black hole, the drone's signal was blocked, making it impossible to use it and unable to detect anything useful! "
Zhou Yue's tone became serious. They had used every conceivable method at the scene, but to no avail.
"I see……"
After hanging up Zhou Yue's call, Li Chong looked at Wei Jianshui again, "Sheriff, our people are also missing when we go down. You can't waver anymore. We must seal off the scene!"
The voice was urgent. As the director of the Punishment Department, Li Chong was under a lot of pressure. If the county guard did not cooperate, the actions of the Punishment Department would be greatly affected.
From Li Chong's perspective, there was nothing wrong with what he said, but Wei Jianshui also had his own concerns.
"Director Li, you know that our Linjun's economy has not developed much in recent years and is now at the bottom of the entire Dongshan Prefecture.
Yan County, which is very close to us, this year has a rapid economic improvement due to the Jingzhong Subway Station, Yong'an Bridge, Liuhuo Avenue, and three Internet celebrity check-in points.
The Baiwu Mountain project is our last hope in Linjun.
No matter what happens, Baiwushan's project cannot be affected.
You want to investigate, I agree, but you also have to ensure that no information about the Baiwu Mountain project is leaked out.
All information must be blocked strictly, and no one should be allowed to know the true situation of Baiwu Mountain! "
After thinking for a long time, Wei Jianshui spoke in a heavy and serious tone.
The harsh words made Li Chong understand what Wei Jianshui meant. This was not his idea. The county governor had already spoken, and he was unable to change the other party's decision.
Li Chong knew that this was Wei Jianshui's compromise.
Even though the situation on the Baiwu Mountain side is likely to continue to develop in a bad direction, they can only passively accept it.
The Sheriff's intention is that when the Criminal Division is handling this case, it will not be able to investigate as usual.
With his hands and feet tied, Ti Xing Si's situation will be even more difficult.
From now on, the news about Baiwu Mountain will be completely blocked until the Baiwu Mountain project is completely completed.
And what may happen in the meantime, they cannot predict, let alone change.
Just looking at Li Chong quietly, Wei Jianshui said nothing, but invisible pressure was already on Li Chong.
"I see!"
Under tremendous pressure, Li Chong nodded helplessly.
He has no choice.
"Now that Director Li understands it, let's go ahead and do it boldly!"
Waving towards Li Chong, indicating that he could leave, Wei Jianshui's expression looked much better than before.
Full of worries, Li Chong left Wei Jianshui's office with heavy steps.
In the office where Wei Jianshui was alone, the atmosphere became solemn.
With a long sigh, Wei Jianshui looked at the snow-white wall and tried to relax.
As the county governor, the pressure on him was even greater when other counties' economies were improving, but Lin County was retreating instead of advancing.
The Baiwu Mountain project has invested Linjun's desperate hope, and Wei Jianshui also hopes that through this project, he can lead Linjun to a beautiful turnaround.
Who would have thought that this project has just begun and has already caused so much controversy.
With a dazed look in his eyes, Wei Jianshui seemed to have remembered something.
He remembered that there seemed to be a phone call from Yanjun Bingfu and the advice from the polling bureau.
They said that the White Mist Temple cannot be dismantled. There is a very powerful thing sealed under the White Mist Temple.
It seems that whatever it is, the black hole on the stone tablet or something, it only appeared after the Baiwu Temple was demolished.
Could it be that what the people at the polling bureau said is true?
With a sneer, Wei Jianshui felt a little confused.
All these things are definitely just a coincidence!
He shook his head vigorously, trying to throw all these messy thoughts away.
The Baiwu Mountain project is the hope for Linjun to turn around. He will not allow anyone or anything to affect the progress of the Baiwu Mountain project!
Wei Jianshui stood up and walked to the window, opened it, and prepared to get some air.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of blood, and subconsciously, Wei Jianshui looked up.
In the sky above our heads, the crescent moon loomed looming among the dark clouds. For a moment, the crescent moon seemed to be contaminated by something and turned blood red!
Wei Jianshui, who was startled, hurriedly rubbed his eyes before looking at Yue Ya again.
The crescent moon hangs high in the sky, quietly spreading its light to the earth, without any abnormalities.
Thinking that he was dazzled by being too tired, Wei Jianshui turned and walked towards the bathroom. He needed to wash his face and calm down.
Wei Jianshui didn't notice that after he turned around, the crescent moon hanging high in the sky quietly changed color, and the blood-colored light fell on the earth, as if the entire Linjun was sinking in a sea of blood.
——
At the same time, the polling bureau on Liuhuo Avenue in Yan County.
Feng Yun sat cross-legged on the balcony of the office, quietly feeling the power of the moonlight.
From the last wonderful realm, Feng Yun understood the "Innate Bagua Divination Method". It has become a habit of Feng Yun to observe the stars and look at the heaven and earth in the light of the moon.
Even if he doesn't deliberately do divination, his own innate Bagua divination method has been greatly improved.
Because of the special nature of the Flowing Fire Avenue itself, the location of the polling bureau can be said to be the best place to see the sky clearly.
Feng Yun closed his eyes and carefully calculated the changes in the sky. In front of him was a vast star map.
The star map is circulating, as if something is jumping around in the star map, trying to come out.
Opening his eyes suddenly, Feng Yun's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"It looks like it's about to begin..."
After pressing the summoning bell, Feng Yun himself stood up and walked towards the hall outside.
Fatty and the others rushed to the hall as soon as they heard the summons bell. Several people looked at Feng Yun in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
"Just now, I was observing the sky and calculating, and suddenly I saw Linjun. The entire Linjun was shrouded in blood, and a blood-red crescent moon hung high above Linjun.
The blood moon appears, crisis arises, yin and yang are in chaos!
Over in Linjun, the incident is about to begin!
Although we want to take this opportunity to establish a strong presence in Dongshan, we cannot cause the loss of life because of this. We must grasp a certain degree, so...
From now on, everyone will pay close attention to all the news in Linjun and not miss any news.
The blood moon celestial phenomenon is a very bad thing. What comes with the blood moon is definitely unusual! "
Feng Yun ordered the members with a solemn expression.
"yes!"
After Fatty and the others listened to Feng Yun's words, Ma Xiaoling sat in front of the computer and began to collect news about Linjun. The others took out their mobile phones and opened different apps to look for gossip about Linjun.
Seeing that Fatty and the others had already taken action, Feng Yun returned to his office.
A blood moon suddenly appeared in Linjun County. What secret was hidden in it? In the star map, he could only vaguely see it. Sitting down on the balcony, Feng Yun continued to deduce.
(End of chapter)
