Chapter 156

It turned out that Lou Hongyi's frequent border crossings were to cooperate with snakeheads abroad, and the objects of the transaction were those children who were abducted from the country and smuggled over.

Lou Hongyi's task was to meet with the other side and bring back the money for selling the children. To avoid carrying large amounts of cash or transfers that would attract attention, the traffickers came up with the method of trading with jade and emeralds instead of cash, and Lou Hongyi was an expert in this area, so there were her frequent entry and exit records.

After the police mastered these situations, because they had no law enforcement power in Myanmar, they planned to secretly arrest Lou Hongyi after she returned to the country! But just when the police were about to act, Lou Hongyi disappeared without a trace!

And the rampant child disappearance incident also came to an end, and the whereabouts of the criminal gang seemed to have disappeared with Lou Hongyi's disappearance!

Bureau Chief Jin didn't think so. He determined that Lou Hongyi was an important member of this child trafficking gang. Her disappearance should be because the criminals were afraid that the police would get more information about their gang from her. Although there were no more child disappearances in Mang City, it should just be that the other side was avoiding the limelight, which didn't mean they were not continuing to commit crimes in other places.

For this reason, Bureau Chief Jin never gave up the investigation of this case and found Lou Hongyi's foothold in Mang City, collecting some of her daily necessities and hair (this played a key role in determining Lou Hongyi's identity after DNA technology matured later), but after several years of investigation, there was still no news of the other side. In 2000, Bureau Chief Jin had already retired. At this time, the Ministry of Public Security implemented online wanted notices for major fugitives, and Lou Hongyi was also put on the wanted list as a fugitive.

However, I didn't expect that another ten years had passed in a flash. When Lou Hongyi was found, there was only a pile of white bones left!

After hearing Bureau Chief Liang finish the case of Lou Hongyi, everyone couldn't help but sigh. Gu Changzheng's inner feeling was another kind. The image of Bureau Chief Jin couldn't help but overlap with his master Lu Haoxuan!

Also 15 years ago, Gu Changzheng clearly remembered those victims who died at the hands of A Lan and her accomplices, but the mastermind behind the scenes had been at large! And now his master is nowhere to be found for investigating this case. Now it seems that there is some connection between these cases, and it seems that the shadow of that Supreme God Cult is behind them all!

What kind of evil cult is that, and why has it existed for so many years?

At this time, forensic expert Old Zheng also introduced the DNA test report of the white bones in the hospital basement and the results surveyed from the white bones. When seeing that Lou Hongyi's sternum was almost fractured and a toe bone was missing, they just felt a bit strange. After seeing the red clothes left at the scene and the symbols left in the corner of the wall not far from the bones, Bureau Chief Liang was stunned!

Those symbols, he had never seen them when investigating the Lou Hongyi case back then, and that red dress was even stranger. In his impression, Lou Hongyi had never worn such bright clothes. Red clothes—red clothes, could this be a hint?

But if it was to hint at who the deceased was, why not throw the corpse in a conspicuous position instead of spending great effort to throw it in this abandoned basement? Throwing it here seems to be avoiding something, or saying that they didn't want people to know who died. These self-contradictory practices made everyone fall into confusion.

Forensic expert Old Zheng continued to say the facts he discovered from a professional perspective: the symbols in the corner of the wall were painted recently, and the time would not exceed one week!

This surprised everyone! This feels like it was done on purpose, and the target seems to be the police! Could the other side calculate? Did they calculate that the basement would be discovered in these few days?

"Old Zheng, are there any old traces of the symbols on the wall?" Gu Changzheng raised his doubts. He suspected whether those symbols were refreshed by someone every once in a while to ensure the effect of the drugs they contained.

Old Zheng thought for a while and said: "Definitely not, it was just painted in the last week or so."

Gu Changzheng believed in his professionalism and believed even more that he wouldn't make such a mistake. Then it could only be as he thought, the other side "calculated" that he would discover this basement in the near future!

Perhaps, the person who left the symbols was guiding all this! A thought suddenly popped into his brain! This thought actually scared himself!

And the storefront covering the ventilation opening of the basement has also been found to be rented by a businessman from another place, but it has never been used, and the time it started to be rented was half a month before Gu Changzheng and the others discovered the basement!

Through the property management department, it was learned that the renter provided a contract signed with an ID number named "Wu Shang". The 50-year-old female staff member couldn't remember the specific appearance, but just felt that the other side was a man with a mediocre appearance, about 45 years old, and couldn't say anything more specific. The police searched through the ID number and found that it was a fake number!

After summarizing the information from several parties, everyone felt that the case was even more confusing. The people and things involved in the case were too strange. First, Lu Haoxuan disappeared strangely, then the hospital camera was destroyed, the video was cleaned up, the fake renter, then the white bones in the basement, and the mysterious symbols and drugs that can control people, and then Luo Fei was attacked, involving the Supreme God Cult behind it... These things seem to be designed in advance, but these plans have a feeling of tit-for-tat everywhere!

Gu Changzheng pondered, what exactly is going on?

———

On the train to Diannan, in an ordinary hard sleeper carriage, an old man was closing his eyes and leaning on the lower bunk, as if resting. On the bunk opposite the old man, a young man with a gloomy face was playing mobile games in boredom. But if you observe carefully, you will find that the eyes of the gloomy man never left the old man opposite for a moment.

The train wheels made a "clatter" sound as they slid over the tracks and sped forward. The old man and the gloomy young man were Lu Haoxuan and Xiang Feng. Lu Haoxuan seemed to be closing his eyes to rest, but in fact, his brain was constantly thinking about how to get rid of this cold kid like a snake and contact Gu Changzheng.

Along the way, Xiang Feng existed by Lu Haoxuan's side like an energetic ghost at all times. Lu Haoxuan hadn't found an opportunity until now.

Originally, he thought that he could use the opportunity of many people on the train to shake off Xiang Feng, but when he just had this idea, that ghost-like guy's eyes sensitively peeked into his heart like a snake's tongue, and the breath in his ear also carried a cold and damp breath: "Don't think about any small movements. With me here, you have no chance!"

The insidious voice made Lu Haoxuan feel uncomfortable all over!
