Chapter 17: Dead or Alive?
Wu La's situation was not reported by Yan Feng. Because this matter was too strange, he only told Gu Long and Ling that he wanted to solve the matter himself.
He told Gu Long that it was related to several murder cases and he needed his friend's help, and he also believed that Gu Long would keep his secret. But when telling Ling Luo, he couldn't explain why, perhaps just because she had been by his side during his weakest moments. He firmly believed that this matter had nothing to do with Ling Luo, so he wasn't afraid of her knowing his secret; besides, he needed someone to confide in and release the enormous psychological pressure!
If Ula's head can thrive well on a strong man's body, then the current judgment that the other four corpses belong to eight people is not entirely accurate. Perhaps it was just four people who were killed by the murderer and let their bodies be in different places. But why did they want to swap heads?
This strange thing has been unbelievable for Gu Long, but the fact is right in front of them, and all they need to do is find a reasonable explanation!
And since Ura appeared, many clues have gradually surfaced.
Yan Feng realized that they had been trapped in a self-limiting circle. Firstly, regarding Wang Lizi, they had always paid attention to his face, living habits and other things, but never noticed his figure. Then, turning back to investigate seriously, it was found that he was a tall man of 185 cm, but according to the people here, Wang San's height is only about 170 cm. This height is the same as Ula's, which means that it is very likely that Wang Lizi's head is on Ula's body. Since Ula can survive, Wang Lizi can naturally do so too. As for the local people saying that Wang San is a fat man with a big belly, it must be that he did something to his body or clothes to conceal his feminine features.
In this case, it's not the corpse that's misplaced, but the human body! By extension, other people who were killed might also be in a similar situation - different heads and bodies stitched together, yet they can still live normally! How many such people are there? They blend in with normal people. What kind of life do they lead? Who would commit such an inhumane act?
Secondly, they always thought that the corpse appearing in the farmhouse courtyard that night was buried there long ago. However, if you think about it carefully, the corpse was killed by someone ten days ago and might have been stored elsewhere before being moved to the small courtyard where Linglong lived on the day she died. The killer could have dug a hole under her bed and buried the corpse there. From when those colleagues who bullied her left to when the corpse appeared, five hours had passed. If the soil was loosened beforehand, this time would be enough for the murderer to bury the body. This can also explain why the ground looked flat before going to sleep but became bulged after having that nightmare. The problem with this matter is why Linglong was chosen and what relationship does she have with this matter? Also, that guy has always been hiding in the dark, and there's no way to catch him.
If it is inferred that the murderer moved the body on the night when Linglong checked in, then the scope of finding the target witness can be expanded to the day when the body was found.
Third, Wang Lizhi finally found the place where he went missing, although it was not on Erjie Mountain, but not far from there. Based on this inference, all these things that have happened recently may be related to the missing case ten years ago, so Yanfeng decided to go to Erjie Mountain for a trip.
But Gu Long thought he should first go and investigate the situation of the other three students who went missing that year. Look at their families and parents to see if there were any changes. He thought that since Wu La couldn't let go of Yan Feng, others would also not be able to let go of their own family members.
Although their bodies and heads are no longer one person's if it weren't for the mistake of being male or female, they wouldn't be completely unable to see people. Why don't they seek help from those closest to them?
And why are these people's heads slowly aging but their bodies remain young? This is also the reason why Ula's body is the same in other characteristics, but inaccurate in age testing!
"Alright." Yan Feng agreed with Gu Long's view: "Tomorrow I'll go out, you just stay here and sit tight. If anything happens, I'll contact you at any time."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of Linglong for you too."
"It's not just about protecting the witness. I have a feeling that there's more to this case than meets the eye. I always feel like there are others manipulating things in the shadows. Your task is not an easy one. If our investigation direction is wrong, then so be it. But if we're correct, the other side may counterattack to protect their secrets. You need to be careful. Besides, Ula is still missing."
"I understand." Gu Long patted Yan Feng's shoulder: "I'm not just eating for free either, you can rest assured and go!"
"What I'm going to do is like I'll be hanged if I don't." Yanzhi spat: "Prepare the victory wine for me as usual, I will uncover this secret and return safely."
"Good wine is prepared for you, beautiful women are also waiting for you, if you're willing, I'll even give you two lives." Gu Long joked.
Ten years ago, people who went missing besides Ula were three boys in the same group: Song Jian, Lü Chi and Shi Shengli. The one called Song Jian was a very active person and also the president of the student union at Yuanshui City Traditional Chinese Medicine College, and he was also Ula's ardent pursuer; many of the quarrels between Yanfeng and Ula back then were because of him.
Looking at the photo, this boy looks warm with a sunny smile. After so many years, Yanzhi thought about what happened back then for the first time. At that time, he was too young and didn't understand that Ula might need a man who is not so busy and gentle to take care of her body and treat her as the center of the world. He was too stubborn and his personality was too rough at that time.
Assuming Ula didn't die, Song Jian might not have died either. Ula's head was swapped, and Song Jian's might have been too. Assuming all the guesses are correct, what terrible thing did they encounter back then? And assuming Song Jian is like Ula and can't let go of his loved one, will it be his head that comes back to find his parents or his body? Or will both come together? In that case, there would be two people appearing near the Song family's home.
Yan Feng had thought that the brain led humans to find their loved ones because humans themselves were thinking and remembering with their brains, but it was actually a mixture of Ula's head and a man's body that was secretly watching him and constantly putting him to sleep with medication. All this proved that human behavior was based on the brain.
But soon he was not so sure of his own judgment because Gu Long found a hidden compartment in the wall during the second search of Wang Lizi's residence. The hidden compartment contained some photos, half of which were his life photos at different times, almost covering his ten years - him eating on the roadside stall, him walking on the street, him at the crime scene, him fishing and him taking a photo after cracking the case in the newspaper.
This shows that Wang Lizi was also paying attention to him in unknown circumstances, but they didn't know each other before. Gu Long said it was Ula's body that brought Wang Lizi to find him because there was Ula's heart in that body, which is her heart wanting to get close to him. "Maybe before the missing case, Wang Lizi and Ula met, he knew me from Ula, or maybe he had some past with Ula and wanted to come kill me, not necessarily." He said this to Gu Long at the time.
"It's also impossible to tell from the photo whether Wang Lizhi has a strong affection for you." Gu Long said, suppressing a smile.
It's unknown whether the human heart has will and emotions, but a strong and aged female forensic doctor openly pursuing him is already eye-catching. Now, with his large number of photos appearing in the home of a deceased man, he has become another legendary figure in the Jing County police force, also becoming Gu Long's excuse to tease him every time. Although he knows Gu Long wants to loosen his tense nerves, seeing Gu Long's smiling face still makes him want to punch him.
But sometimes he also wants to know if Ula and Wang Lizi are familiar with each other? If both Wang Lizi and Ula approached him because of "love", would these two people appear together in front of Wang Lizi's family members? Would the families of other mismatched people simultaneously appear with two people?
It would be great if they could catch two people at the same time to see if their heads had been swapped onto each other's bodies. Wang Lizi's body was Ula's, but since Ula hadn't been caught, there was no way of knowing whether Ula's body was Wang Lizi's or not.
Or was it someone else's? Anyway, these math problems started to make Yanfeng's head ache violently, so he simply didn't want to knock on Song Jian's door anymore.
