Chapter 170 The so-called elixir! Sacrifice ceremony! Clues present in the flesh!
Elixir
What is the elixir of life?
As the name suggests, it is a medicine for eternal youth. This is basically a pursuit born in the collective consciousness of all human beings.
The most obvious thing is that almost all national myths have descriptions in this regard.
For example, a drop of holy water or some kind of prop can allow people to obtain this seemingly useless thing.
Does the real world exist?
It exists, but its efficacy is much worse than this kind of thing.
"The elixir of life?"
"What the hell?"
Li Jianye frowned.
"A potion extracted from human cubs by hellish means."
Xu Hao's heart sank and he clenched his hands unconsciously.
Can there be medicine on a person?
To be honest, many people may not have thought about whether humans can be used as a medicinal material in traditional Eastern medicine.
In fact, it is possible.
Not only is it possible, but it was also very popular and extremely enthusiastic!
If you carefully recall the history, you may not expect anything, but if you say.
‘Human blood buns? ’
It has developed to this day and has gradually become a metaphor for doing bad things.
But you must know that these four words were ‘statements’ in ancient times.
It's a statement, not a metaphor!
Those people believe that a person's blood carries the essence of a person's life, and if he takes it away and eats it before his life span is over, he can gain this part of his life span.
In some execution sites, when prisoners are beheaded, someone in the audience may try to take away the blood.
Some people bribed the executioner to sell blood or buy organs.
Therefore, in the eyes of such people, people = medicine.
And it’s still a very useful and highly effective medicine!
"The dead can have blood, and the blood contains the longevity of young people."
"Then, what about the child?"
In a daze, Xu Hao asked.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he took the lead and said:
"No, it can't be said to be adrenochrome. It's just a code name, a reference."
"Think of this thing as adrenochrome for now."
The human body's adrenaline is a very magical thing. If you are at the end of your rope, this thing may be able to help you complete your counterattack.
This thing can be regarded as the oxide of adrenaline, and it does not have any magical effects on its own.
It is even said that this thing can be synthesized artificially, and the purchase price is low enough.
Looking at it this way, excluding the marketing account, this thing is not a rare thing.
It has nothing to do with the elixir of life.
but!
But young people do keep aging at bay in older people.
In 1970, a Western team conducted an experiment.
Putting the blood circulation of old mice together with the blood circulation of young mice, the results show that the bodies of old mice will be healthier, stronger and smarter!
The experiment was stopped, and no one knew why. Although the technicians involved claimed to know everything, they probably didn't know much.
Overall.
This is an extremely vague factor, mixed together, just hit some kind of refinement, and then has this weird beauty-preserving function.
Just like the ancient alchemists, they could develop gunpowder and other items by adding things randomly.
This is what is called adrenochrome.
It itself has no magical function, it is the product of adrenaline oxidation.
However, through the series influence of certain factors and teaming up with other items, this kind of item becomes available.
And those that can carry this factor are.
child.
"Team Li, the case of Sun Jian's processing factory."
"Did you find anything in the hospital?"
Xu Hao looked at Li Jianye.
Li Jianye paused, and then his pupils shrank, as if he remembered something bad.
"Stillbirth and Placenta"
He whispered.
Xu Hao nodded.
Dead babies and placentas produced by abortion are not considered human beings and have no human rights or laws. They are generally defined as 'medical waste'.
And since it is a waste product, it is natural to treat it casually.
In the absence of strong will from family members, their management will not be too strict.
And it is precisely because it is not too strict that some people will cooperate with some people in the hospital who have no bottom line for money to purchase such items for a long time.
What’s the point of buying a stillborn baby?
First of all, it depends on the types of people who buy.
One category is cosmetics institutions.
Some people will try to use placenta or aborted stillborn fetus to make it. It is said that the effect is surprisingly good, and the skin and baby can be easily broken by blowing.
The second category is
Put it this way.
What to eat during the Chinese New Year?
dumpling.
What's the filling for dumplings?
Just guess what kind of stuffing this is.
The pursuit of this type of people is also the pursuit of appearance.
Then here comes the problem.
The behavior of the people on both sides is different, but the goals they pursue are the same, and the goals are also the same.
That's... a child.
"If it is to produce drugs such as 'adrenochrome', it would require a lot of people, an absurd number."
"In this case, a person will not be a person, but a consumable. After all, the amount produced by each person is limited, and it will be produced one day, and under this kind of demand, human life will naturally not last long. ”
Xu Hao opened his mouth and said slowly.
After he finished speaking, the people around him were silent, without any sound.
Actually it’s not just modern.
This was true even in ancient times.
For example, the ginseng fruit tree can make people live forever, and the fruit looks like a child.
Another example is ginseng essence, a powerful ginseng essence that can be replenished in one mouthful. After it becomes sperm, it also has the appearance of a doll.
There is also the popular blood-sucking culture in the West, which also targets young people.
In general, this concept is not a modern medical establishment, but has existed since ancient times. No one knows when it started.
"Adrenochrome."
The people around him fell silent for an instant, except for a few people who couldn't hold back the coldness in their hearts and murmured.
"To be precise, this is not adrenochrome, but it is referred to as adrenochrome."
Xu Hao reminded him thoughtfully, and now the people around him became even more silent.
This thing is like a Loli Island in the West, or a certain sex slave archipelago. It is very likely that it is being manipulated and then served by various powerful people or celebrities.
Of course, there are also ones here in the east, such as in Bangzi’s room n.
"Does this thing really work!?"
Li Jianye couldn't help it anymore. His face was full of confusion. He was like a traveler walking in the desert, not knowing where to go.
"Who knows if this thing works."
Xu Hao shook his head.
"Then why do we do this!?"
Li Jianye was even more puzzled.
“I don’t even know if it has any effect.”
"Captain Li, almost most skin care products are not as effective as going to bed early and getting up early, but that does not prevent it from becoming one of the most profitable products in the 21st century."
"Health products are all a scam. As long as they don't kill you, it's a good medicine, but countless people have lost their money on it."
“The police told the caller in front of the residents that the caller was a fraud, but as soon as the police left, the caller was immediately deceived.”
"There are many brainless people in this world, and there are not enough liars."
Xu Hao shook his head and said.
"The probability of being slightly mentally retarded is a scary number of words!"
"But it does not prevent some people with mild mental retardation from becoming rich, transcending classes, or being admitted to prestigious universities."
Li Jianye was dumbfounded, and so was Chu Linhai.
The police encounter more mildly mentally retarded people than others, especially the police, and it is simply annoying to deal with them.
Furthermore.
"Captain Li, what do you think of superstition?"
Xu Hao suddenly changed the topic and moved the discussion to another point.
"Superstitious?"
Before Li Jianye could speak, Chu Linhai said:
"Nature is undesirable."
"Yes, superstition is not advisable, so does anyone believe it?" Xu Hao asked again.
"Yes, and there are many."
"The bread here does not include the rich?" Xu Hao asked again.
At this time, the people around him were speechless and could not say anything in reply.
Included?
Naturally included.
In Xu Hao's last life, there was a man named "Dragon King" in the east and south, who was a famous master abroad.
If you are willing to search for the disciples of this Dragon King and those who want to become his disciples.
The names inside will surprise you.
In addition, many people in the entertainment industry use these things such as Raising Little Ghost, Gumantong, and Yin Cards.
The most intuitive thing is over a harbor, and the people there trust this even more.
Driving piles, burial feng shui, house buying feng shui, which is the most used
Of course, if you think only ordinary rich people or small businessmen would do this.
"You guys should know about the shipwreck over Bangzi, Bureau Chu, Captain Li."
Xu Hao said again.
This time, the two of them were completely silent.
What's the shipwreck over there at Bangzi?
Nothing, just a cruise ship sinking into the sea, killing hundreds of people directly.
A very simple accident, but if
Does it appear very regularly almost every once in a while?
Moreover, the direct cause of death, as well as the captain's shouting and rescue personnel's operations were outrageous.
In addition, there is a club abroad, which gathers the world's top wealthy businessmen and the heads of various 'societies'.
In addition to having fun together, they will also hold a 'living sacrifice ceremony'.
“Although there is no such thing in China.”
"But, can't you say for sure?"
Xu Hao said in a deep voice, and the hearts of the people around him were in their throats.
Chu Linhai's eyes darkened slightly, "There are docks and harbors along the coast of Jiangsan City, and the transportation is developed, so it is difficult to find it."
“And, not necessarily in the country”
The transportation is well developed, which means that the way to get here is very simple.
Simplicity means that people are messy, and messiness means that it is difficult to check.
“It’s actually easy to check.”
Xu Hao shook his head.
"First of all, assuming that the murderer is really the victim of such behavior, and their group can come to Jiangsan City, this eliminates the option of going abroad."
The official management of customs is still very strict.
Anyone who has passed through customs should know how complicated it is to verify your identity and how long the passage is just from the entrance to the exit.
Not to mention, the murderer also brought some animals with him.
“So, this foreign option disappears.”
"Preliminary estimation, it should be domestic, but in which direction domestically."
Xu Hao paused, then shook his head.
"Then I don't know. If the capital uses the police force that was sealed off last month to search and arrest, and it lasts for several months, I guess they can find everything."
"But the problem is, this itself is impossible."
The police force used in the capital city was incredible, and any major case was only a matter of time.
If this case can be used to trace their origin, it can be solved.
It is a pity that the investment of manpower and material resources is too large, and the police force in the capital will be empty in the short term. It is completely a method regardless of the cost.
Moreover, the capital city is also very poor these days, so it is impossible to use this method
"It's hard to do"
Chu Linhai sighed, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
After a long time, he said:
"There is currently no information to confirm that the child was taken to do such a thing."
"However, the disappearance of a large number of children at the same time has proven that the other party has the ability and channels to eat so much at the same time."
"Transporting people, running away, money transactions, these are all clues."
"Start investigating through human traffickers and trafficking channels first. As long as we can uncover one clue, it is enough."
Xu Hao nodded, he quite agreed with this plan.
"Then let's search the channels of human traffickers for the time being."
The few people hit it off immediately and immediately dispersed to take charge of affairs in their respective fields.
Traffickers' information networks are often much clearer within themselves than the police.
Just needing to know where the customers are and their contact channels is something that the police cannot match.
So.
Xu Hao and Li Jianye temporarily focused on several traffickers who had been arrested.
At this time, in the archives room.
"How should I check?"
"Check those with a larger number of traffickers?"
Li Jianye flipped through the files and looked at the documents above which were as big as two heads. "Check it slowly."
Xu Hao sighed.
The matter of human traffickers is very troublesome
Why?
First of all, there are regional restrictions. A person who is abducted in the north may appear in a southern city within a few days, spanning more than 1,000 and nearly 2,000 kilometers on both sides!
How can the police trace this distance?
Watch the surveillance?
Indeed, monitoring is a good idea.
But the problem is that there are certain restrictions on police inspection and surveillance!
‘Law enforcement power’, these three words are a good explanation. The law enforcement power in each area is the responsibility of fixed personnel.
The local police of the abducted child followed the surveillance to another city and needed to communicate with the other party before continuing the investigation.
Then the third city, then the fourth city
I checked bit by bit and found a place I was unfamiliar with. How far had time passed by then?
This is just one of the factors that is difficult to check, and it was still under surveillance everywhere on Xu Hao Street in the previous life.
There aren't many surveillance cameras in the capital these days, let alone checking.
Of course, that's not entirely true.
"Do you want to read the cases from the 1983 crackdown period?"
Li Jianye opened several long-dusted document bags, glanced at them a few times, and then looked at Xu Hao.
“Many files on human traffickers in the archives were captured during that period.”
"Is it necessary to read this?"
Xu Hao thought for a moment and nodded, "Let's check together."
“The main point of screening and search is determined to be instances of purchasing a large number of children at the same time.”
"Okay."
Li Jianye nodded and began a boring search.
The official crackdown on human traffickers is actually quite vigorous.
This thing is difficult to investigate a single case, but what if everyone across the country scans their own areas, not seeking to investigate the case, but just arresting people?
It happened once twenty years ago.
Well, the human traffickers were almost wiped out during that time, but the problem is
Not long after, human traffickers revived again like weeds and became more and more rampant.
In the 1990s, kidnappings on the street or breaking into houses at night were common occurrences.
Therefore, in Xu Hao's previous life, the officials launched several more activities in the 21st century, which continued until he and the Universiade were defeated in a desperate struggle. Compared with now, there are very few human traffickers.
As for whether the files from 1983 are useful
To be honest, it is of little use. After all, judging from the transfer records, the case occurred two years ago.
And these people were arrested twenty years ago.
But then again.
The punishment for human traffickers is divided into multiple levels. There will always be a few who are sentenced to lighter punishments, and they will come out and continue to commit crimes within a few years.
The channel thing will not be abolished unless the police take over the entire human trafficker system.
Therefore, if you were able to sell a large number of children before entering, you will naturally be able to sell so many after you come out. Anyway, this thing is not a technical job. The teammates are not picky. The problem is only the contact network.
"Zhang Jiahu, 43 years old, his gang abducted 37 people within six months."
In a daze, Li Jianye spoke. He watched Xu Hao read out the file information in his hand.
"Is this person suspicious?"
Hearing this, Xu Hao turned his attention away and focused on the other party's file.
He looked at it for a while, then shook his head.
"What people sell is not their children."
There are also different types of human traffickers.
Some people specialize in selling children, and some specialize in selling women.
What about men?
There are also people selling them, so don’t think that you are safe just because you are an adult male!
Electronic fraud, illegal factories, these all require adult males!
If you are unlucky and are taken to some illegal drug testing factory, you will be in trouble.
Of course, Dongguo’s domestic pharmaceutical companies are very honest, and they are mainly located abroad.
Some people will specifically target people who travel, because it is difficult for the authorities to track down such people when they disappear.
In addition, the pharmaceutical companies over there are testing various purely medical drugs?
No, as I said before in Capital City, addictive drugs such as morphine and painkillers are also drugs.
Therefore, someone needs to try this thing.
Don't talk about sucking it, this thing will be ruined for your life if you touch it!
Quit?
According to statistics from the rehabilitation center, even if you quit smoking, there is a 99.99% chance that you will choose to relapse!
Therefore, adults who are abducted often face much greater life threats than children!
It’s just that the probability of being abducted is small.
As for the file given by Li Jianye, the abductor was...
"Some disabled person?"
Xu Hao looked at the list of victims opposite, and suddenly his face was speechless.
"No wonder they survived after abducting so many people"
The abductors are mentally retarded adults, also known as fools.
He was abducted as an intermediary, taking advantage of this kind of people's desire to find a job to support themselves, and selling them to illegal kilns. This was a disguised method of exploiting legal loopholes, and as a result, the punishment was not particularly serious.
There once was a great journalist.
The other party disguised himself as a fool, smoked cigarette butts on the ground, ate swill, and sneaked into a black kiln as an undercover agent. He suffered extremely painful hardships and saved many mentally handicapped people.
"Look for something related to children."
Xu Hao shook his head and stuffed the file back into place.
After thinking for a moment, he closed the file in his hand and looked at Li Jianye.
"Do you have any clues from Inspector Zhao?"
"Zhao Shui?"
Li Jianye thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask."
After saying that, he walked away and started making calls.
Zhao Shui was also responsible for the visits between the children and their parents in the Dashan Student Aid Network.
At the same time, he is cooperating with the teacher to investigate the traces of the murderer. It has been a few hours now, and there will be some news.
As expected, Li Jianye looked at Xu Hao and nodded.
"The information we just got has been compiled into documents. Let's go to the office to find him."
“However, this information is not backed by solid evidence and is not fully credible.”
"It's enough to have clues."
Xu Hao didn't mind it either. He even sorted out the files with the other party and then walked to the office.
In the judicial system, personal evidence and physical evidence are generally used, and the proportion of personal evidence is very large.
Because it needs to combine the police's logical chain and physical evidence clues to infer the true extent.
Otherwise, if it cannot be verified, the police will still hear about it. That will have an irreversible impact on the case!
If used in court, false testimony can also lead to others being wronged and suffered.
And what Zhao Shui brought back.
"We targeted the time of Zhao Shan's last transaction, and coupled with Sun Yuhui's confession, we found a person."
Zhao Shui was already waiting in the office. When he saw Xu Hao, he spoke out the information without saying anything.
At the same time, he also took out a portrait.
This is a portrait made by an iconographer, a sketch, but the face is clear.
"This is a middle-aged man who comes to the offline student aid website almost every once in a while."
"The other party has a good appearance, a decent appearance, and is wearing a suit. His name is Sima Kong. Judging from Zhao Shan's description, he is a wealthy businessman."
"We searched based on the information given by Sun Yuhui, but did not find this person in the file. Our initial guess is that the person was given a false identity."
"At the same time, he spoke with a bunch of foreign accents. He was obviously not a local. In addition, he came many times. Several children would disappear after each visit, so we set our sights on him."
"As expected, if this person can be found, an arrest will be made in this case!"
"But the problem is"
As he spoke, Zhao Shui paused and pointed at the painting drawn by the portrait artist.
"Look, who does this face look like?"
This face.
Li Jianye frowned. This sketch always looked familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Where?
"One of the five dead!"
In a daze, Xu Hao suddenly spoke, which shocked Li Jianye around him, and his pupils shrank sharply.
By the way, there are five deceased people in total, three of them have been identified, and the identities of the other two cannot be searched.
And one of the two whose identities is a mystery.
It's exactly the same as the face in the portrait!
"Broken."
Li Jianye's heart sank.
"The murderer was so eager for revenge that he cut off the police's search line in disguise."
At present, the police have only found Sima Kong. Apart from him, there is no other person who can contact the gang behind him.
Now he was killed in advance by the murderer.
This invisibly made the search more difficult.
But
"Under certain circumstances, it can be considered good news."
Xu Hao thought about it and decided to start from the side. "Sima Kong's behavior, temperament, and foreign language are consistent with some of the previously speculated conditions for the 'Elixir of Life' personnel."
"In a sense, the accuracy of the previous guess can be increased by one point."
"At the same time, it can also be determined that the reason why the murderer killed is indeed related to human trafficking!"
"Although the clues are broken, it is a good thing to be able to verify the previous guesses."
No one knows which is the real clue or the false clue, but now everyone understands.
Although the news is debilitating.
But now at least there is no need to rely on guessing to work, but there is a very solid foundation on which to conceive and derive ideas.
"How is Chen Jin's investigation going?"
Xu Hao suddenly said again, "The source of his entrepreneurial capital is unknown. It is difficult for a trafficker to accumulate millions of wealth by selling people alone."
"I now guess that he may be of the same nature as Sima Kong, but he came ashore with a clear conscience."
"Go and check the company personnel who followed him early in the morning. Maybe we can get something out of their mouths."
Zhao Shui nodded, but his eyes were still filled with frustration.
I finally found a clue, but when I turned around I found that the other party was already dead
This is too shocking.
The most important thing is
"What's wrong with you?"
After Li Jianye watched Zhao Shui leave, Xu Hao suddenly fell into thinking, and then his face showed confusion.
"I am thinking, assuming that the inference is indeed the same as before, the abducted child was indeed used as something."
"This thing is definitely not about enjoying happiness, it is about suffering."
"Eating hardship is torture."
"But in what form does torture unfold?"
Forms of torture.
Li Jianye had a meal.
Indeed, pain can take many forms.
Beating you or mentally abusing you.
However, in short, the police currently do not know what method the murderer used. Even the so-called elixir of life is just a guess.
If only I could know.
"Then we can get the other party's information in reverse, and then we can speed up the case!"
Xu Hao said.
Li Jianye understood.
This is equivalent to defining a nature for the case.
As long as the nature is determined, the limited police force of the police can be poured into it, and then an orderly search can be carried out.
What a pity
They now don't know what torture the other party did to the murderer.
Beating is torture, insult is torture.
But the other party will definitely not only use this most conventional method. If not, then it will have to break through the bottom line of human beings.
And the bottom line of mankind
How can ordinary people think of it! ?
To be honest, if ordinary people give someone directions, they will feel guilty for a while if they find out later that they gave the wrong directions.
Let alone trying to figure this thing out.
Human beings can never think of things outside their own realm of knowledge!
"By the way, where is Chaozi!?"
In a daze, Xu Hao suddenly thought of Wang Chao.
"What's wrong? Wang Chao is still in the hospital for further observation." Li Jianye asked subconsciously, and then responded quickly.
"Torture, psychological torture is never direct enough."
"This thing often only appears on the body, that is, physical torture!"
"But physical torture will inevitably appear on the body. Just like if I scold you, others can't see it, but if I punch you, others will definitely be able to see the dark corners of your eyes and know that you were beaten!"
Suddenly, an extremely tricky angle appeared from Xu Hao's mouth.
"We can completely infer the form of torture the murderer has suffered based on his body, and then use this form to determine who the other person is!"
Li Jianye paused and thought subconsciously.
This angle is generally useless.
Because, if everyone saw the murderer, why not arrest him directly?
They were arrested directly, so what else do you need to guess? Just torture them.
But for now.
It was very useful in this case.
No one from the police had seen the killer.
But Wang Chao has seen it!
Not only had he seen it, he had seen it very clearly, and had close contact with a monkey!
Thinking of this, Li Jianye felt like he was enlightened.
"That's right!"
"Go find Chaozi!"
Xu Hao no longer hesitated, stood up quickly, and walked out.
Just let Wang Chao tell you everything he saw carefully.
Then there are clues to this case!
But
What did the murderer do?
The deceased’s family and children have not shown up yet. It is obvious that the murderer will not let them go. This kind of hatred to destroy the whole family.
What exactly did the other party do to the deceased?
If the effect is on appearance, then the murderer’s appearance
Thinking of this, Xu Hao squinted his eyes and recalled in his mind what Wang Chao said he saw at the scene of the first crime.
Monkey Charmer, Drugged Monkey, Orangutan, Human Centipede.
Thinking of this, Xu Hao couldn't hold back his anger.
It's useless to think about anything now. As long as you have a detailed discussion with Wang Chao in this direction, it will be much more useful than thinking on your own!
"Let's go."
"Go to the hospital!"
Maybe
We'll find out later what the truth of this case is!
