The little crybaby in the group, the young master is a softie

Chapter 496 Mu Yang Comes to Visit

When Mu Yang heard that Chen Yifan was injured, he immediately took time to visit him in the hospital. When he opened the door of the ward, the smell of disinfectant and the aroma of millet porridge hit him in the face.

Chen Yifan leaned against the head of the bed, letting Father Shen wipe the corners of his mouth with a cotton swab dipped in warm water. The bandage was loosely wrapped around his shoulders, making him look like a tamed wolf cub.

"You didn't even say a word when you were injured like this?" Mu Yang put the nutritional supplements he brought on the bedside table. "Didn't you tell me last month that you would signal me if you were in danger? If I hadn't heard this from Shen Ran, I wouldn't even know you were dead."

Chen Yifan raised his eyebrows, "Captain Mu, are you here to check on me? I'm not dead yet."

"Captain Mu Yang is here, please take a seat." Father Shen warmly invited him to sit down, and then he was busy handing the porcelain spoon of black chicken soup to Chen Yifan's lips, "It's hot, blow it before drinking."

Chen Yifan shook his head. "Drinking this stuff every day makes me feel like I'm in confinement after childbirth. It's annoying."

Father Shen replied with a smile: "This is a good thing, it replenishes the body!"

Mu Yang looked at Father Shen carefully feeding him and reached out to take the bowl of soup: "Uncle Shen, let me do it. This kid is very pretentious, please don't spoil him."

Father Shen smiled and took a step back, watching the two young men bickering.

Chen Yifan stared at the black chicken soup with oil floating in the bowl, "Take it away, take it away. I won't drink it no matter who comes. It's greasy and makes me lose my appetite just by looking at it."

"Stop being picky." Mu Yang used a spoon to gently skim off the oil on the surface. "You lost too much blood this time, you need to replenish your blood." He scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Chen Yifan's lips.

Chen Yifan turned his head away and said, "It's going to burn me to death!"

Mu Yang smiled helplessly, holding the spoon in the air and waiting patiently until the heat completely dissipated, then he tentatively handed it over again, "If it's really not hot anymore, just drink a sip?"

Seeing that Chen Yifan still refused to cooperate, he continued, "Drink this soup, and I will tell you a case."

Chen Yifan was immediately interested, but still refused to drink the soup. "What case?"

Mu Yang was being mysterious: "A suspenseful murder case."

"Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and tell me." Chen Yifan urged, "I like suspense cases the most. Suspense makes things interesting."

"Drink the soup first, and I'll tell you the details after you finish it."

"...Okay, you're cruel."

Chen Yifan picked up the porcelain bowl, tilted his head back and drank it all up in one gulp. "Now that I'm done, it's time to talk, right?"

Mu Yang nodded with satisfaction, "Lie down, I'll tell you slowly."

Chen Yifan turned sideways obediently.

Mu Yang whispered a few words in his ear.

Chen Yifan's eyes widened after hearing this, and his teeth chattered with anger. "Fuck you, a sow fell into the river, and you call this a suspense case? You are kidding me!"

"No, there are so many pigs, and the boars are fine, but the sows died. Just tell me if this is a disaster or not!" Mu Yang looked like he deserved a beating.

"……Depend on!"

Chen Yifan almost vomited three liters of blood.

"Oh, okay, calm down, I'll tell you a more exciting story." Mu Yang restrained his expression, "Have you heard of cannibals?"

"Cannibals? Isn't that a legend? Why are you suddenly bringing it up?" Chen Yifan was suspicious.

"Legends are legends, but reality does exist. And I suspect they are currently hiding in a corner of this city."

"...Fuck, you want to scare me to death, don't you?"

"I'm not trying to scare you. The cannibals are more brutal than you think. If you can find the connection, maybe you can help the police solve this kind of cold case."

Chen Yifan was silent and fell into thought. "Tsk, helping the police? Why the hell do I remember that I seemed to be the villain?"

"This has nothing to do with good guys or bad guys. Cannibals are inherently cruel, and to deal with them, you must fight violence with violence."

Mu Yang suspected that cannibals appeared in the city based on a series of creepy and interconnected clues.

There have been many cases of missing persons recently, and the missing persons come from different classes and backgrounds and seem to have nothing in common.

But after in-depth investigation, Mu Yang found that these missing persons had been active in some specific areas, such as markets in several old neighborhoods, small restaurants near remote alleys, etc.

The complex flow of people in these places makes it easy for cannibals to secretly observe and select targets, and it is easy for them to evacuate quickly after succeeding.

At the scene of one of the missing cases, it was a dark and narrow alley with obvious dragging marks on the ground, as if someone was forcibly dragged.

There were also some traces of dried unknown liquid on the surrounding walls. Upon inspection, it was found that the liquid contained human blood components and was accompanied by a peculiar fishy smell.

The smell is different from that of ordinary bloodstains, and it seems to have undergone some special treatment, which inevitably makes people think of some extremely cruel acts.

The more shocking clues came from the abnormal situation in the market. Some careful vendors reported that some meat of unknown origin appeared in the market recently.

The meat is packaged to look like regular pork and sold at a lower price, but a closer look reveals that the texture and color of the meat are slightly different from normal pork.

Some of the meat was cut into the shape of pork belly, but the texture was unnatural. Some of the skewers had a weird texture.

Experienced butchers said the meat was not processed in the same way as regular pork and some pieces were similar in size and shape to parts of the human body.

Further testing found that these meats contain some trace elements unique to the human body, which are definitely not found in ordinary livestock meat.

In addition, some families of the missing persons mentioned that their relatives had received some inexplicable invitation messages before they disappeared. The content was vague, roughly inviting them to go somewhere to receive a prize or participate in a mysterious activity. The location was often some abandoned warehouses, old factories and other remote places.

This information seems to be a scam, but combined with the disappearances and the strange meat that appeared in the market, Mu Yang speculated that this was most likely a means for cannibals to lure victims to designated locations in order to commit crimes.

Another important clue is that around an abandoned factory on the edge of the city, residents often report hearing strange noises late at night, similar to the sounds of cutting and dragging heavy objects.

Occasionally, you can see some suspicious people wandering around. They are wearing shabby and gray clothes and behaving stealthily.

Once, a resident accidentally saw a van without license plates driving out of the factory. The trunk of the van seemed to be loaded with some heavy objects, and some unknown liquid was dripping while driving.

The police subsequently searched the factory. Although they did not catch the suspect on the spot, they found some bloodstains and some items similar to slaughter tools in the factory. The remaining tissues on them were identified as consistent with human flesh.

Combining these clues, Mu Yang, with his keen insight and rigorous logical thinking accumulated from many years of criminal investigation work, judged that there was an extremely dangerous cannibal gang in the city.
