Early the next morning.

Ling'er gave the prisoner a diagnosis, and the prisoner was indeed given an herb called "mandala flower".

When I heard the words mandala flowers, I couldn't help but be shocked.

Isn't this plant poisonous all over the body, how could someone use this poison to give to a murderer, could it be that it is also a murderer?

Ling'er tells us that this mandala flower has a legend: the desert is God's punishment for human desires.

All life in the desert is controlled only by the water god in the middle of the desert.

Until the god of water fell in love with a woman who led the people to find a water source, God was furious and wanted to destroy the soul of the god of water, and the desert flower god Mandala asked God for forgiveness at the cost of his own reincarnation with him, and God was moved by her infatuation, and only expelled the water god from the heavenly realm, since then, there is no water in the desert, and the mandala has also become a cursed flower, highly poisonous.

In China, the mandala is known as a sacred object of Buddhism, and only the lucky ones who are born have the opportunity to see her, and seeing it can bring people endless happiness.

Because Buddhism cultivates a pure mind to view the world, with few desires to walk in the red dust, there is nothing in the hands, and everything is empty, so a long, long time ago, this white flower without stamens was regarded by people as the embodiment of God, symbolizing hollowness, heartlessness and peace of mind.

But in ancient India, the mandala flower was both the knocker of the door of lust and the base of the construction of the spectacle, and it was spread out to become a grand mandala ashram as an "angel's horn".

However, in Western legends, the mandala has always been given a terrifying color.

Legend has it that in ancient Spain, the mandala flower was like an indifferent spectator, often blooming near the execution ground, numbly praying for every soul whose life was gone.

The whole plant is highly poisonous, and it is said that only one person in ten thousand people will have the opportunity to see the flowers bloom, so anyone who meets the flowers will die of her favorite.

This is a terrifying legend about flowers, but what does this legend have to do with our case today?

Everyone was wondering who had given the prisoner a mandala, and perhaps the answer could only be given after the unconscious prisoner woke up.

Ling'er prepared some medicinal materials for the prisoner, and with the assistance of everyone, the prisoner was poured the medicinal materials prepared by Ling'er.

When I watched Ling'er carefully figure out all this, I couldn't help but ask: "Ling'er, is this thing you gave him an antidote?"

"After being poured with mandala flowers, there is no antidote to it, so we can only use other drugs to suppress the toxicity of the mandala flowers, so as not to let the toxins of the mandala flowers spread so quickly. ”

Ling'er finished dispensing the medicine and said to me.

I sighed, "So, this prisoner is hopeless?"

"Under normal circumstances, his life should be gone by now, but for some unknown reason, he is not even dead...... Maybe it's because there is a strong idea in my heart, and I have been supporting him to live until now, which is already rare, brother-in-law, don't ask for anything else, right?"

Hearing Ling'er say this, I also felt that this was the truth, so I didn't bother her anymore and quietly withdrew from the nursing room.

collided with Li Shaogang who was standing outside.

When I saw Li Shaogang, I was suddenly stunned, only to see that he had two big dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like a panda.

I asked in surprise, "Officer Li, what are you ......doing?" Did you stay up late?"

"It's not staying up late, it's not sleeping. ”

Li Shaogang rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and said to me in a daze, I jokingly said: "What can't you sleep, is there a ghost in your heart?"

Li Shaogang glared at me: "I don't have a ghost in my heart, but ...... We found a ghost in this case. ”

As he spoke, he mysteriously handed me the picture in his hand.

Isn't this the picture of the TV with a grimace on it, and I looked at him with some confusion: "Is this face in this photo really a ghost?"

Li Shaogang smiled and nodded: "Anyway, through technical means, there are no other problems with this photo." ”

"So you're sure that this picture is real and that no one has tampered with it?"

Staring at the photo in his hand, I frowned, Li Shaogang laughed, reached out and stroked my brow: "Don't frown anymore, you are always frowning like this, it is easy to age...... When the doubt comes, let's deal with it, I think the two of us should go to the murder scene again in person, and conduct another investigation of the scene, maybe it will be more intuitive to uncover this doubt......"

Seeing that he was so warmly invited, of course I couldn't refuse, after I sent a message, I got into the car with Li Shaogang, and the police car roared, driving to the old community where the murder happened again.

After locking up the police car, the two of us walked side by side into the hallway filled with the pungent smell of blood.

I smelled the smell of blood in the corridor and said, "Isn't this community uninhabited, it's been so long since the murder was murdered, and the smell in this corridor is still so strong?"

"Maybe it's because of poor ventilation, which is often the case in this kind of old neighborhood. ”

Li Shaogang was calmer than me, I saw him climb to the fourth floor very calmly, and from time to time reminded me to pay attention to the safety of my feet, I looked at his back, and my thoughts fluctuated.

What the hell is he going to bring me here for? I don't think it really really took me to investigate the scene, because I have a faint premonition in my heart, a bad premonition.

Li Shaogang took out a set of keys from a plastic bag and opened the door: "Come in, the answer you need is inside." ”

He was standing in the doorway, smiling, but I could tell he was talking.

I smiled and raised my head: "Officer Li, there won't be an old friend waiting for me in the room." ”

"Doctor Wu is smart, there is indeed an old friend waiting for you, but I don't know if the doctor has the courage to step through this door and dare to meet your old friend?"

Li Shaogang suddenly took out his pistol and wiped it on the pistol with his white gloves, a bailiff came out to handle the case with a pistol, which is a normal thing, but in my eyes, it is actually quite abnormal.

I stared at his shiny gun and smiled, "Officer Li, is there a bullet in your pistol, which is prepared for me?"

"It's up to you to behave, and if you're obedient, not a single bullet will be ready for you...... But if you don't obey, all the bullets are likely to be yours. ”

When he said this, he was completely fierce, in fact, I was prepared in my heart, but I didn't expect him to turn his face so quickly.

Since I have turned my face, there is no need to hide it anymore, I enter or not, in fact, the effect is the same, so I shook my head and smiled, walked up indifferently, and stepped lightly into the door from Li Shaogang.

Sure enough, the noodle stall owner was sitting on the sofa at this moment, waiting for me very leisurely.

After I walked in, the man slowly turned his head and stared at my face with a smile: "I heard that you are a doctor, and you are a very smart doctor, a smart person like you must have a very developed brain, I don't know, if you eat your brain cells, people will become smart." ”

He's going to eat my brain cells?

Although it didn't look like he was joking when I looked at his face, I was quite shocked now, and I don't know why I had the courage to stand up to someone who wanted to eat my brain cells.

I also sat down on the stool across from the coffee table.

Raising his eyes and looking directly at the driver of the car opposite, he smiled lightly: "Killing so many people, don't you feel guilty at all?"

"Why should I feel guilty? Have you ever seen a hunter come back from a hunt and feel guilty for having too much prey? ”

He argued with me with a set of fallacies, and I spread my hands and said helplessly: "Of course not, because that is a harvest, but you are not a harvest, you are cruelly depriving others of their lives." ”

"There is no cruelty in this world, only whether you should die, if you deserve to die today, you will not be able to escape tomorrow, if you don't deserve to die today, even if I stab you twice and eat up your brain and marrow, you will not die. ”

The driver of the cart stood up with a pig-killing knife.

The sharp knife was blood-red and looked like it was stained with someone else's blood, and I knew he was standing up, aiming for me.

The atmosphere at the scene was quite desperate, Li Shaogang was guarding the door with a pistol, even if there were reinforcements to save me, he could block the reinforcements outside.

And the sharp knife in the driver's hand seems to have been prepared for me a long time ago.

Maybe in their eyes, I have long been food in their mouths.

Seeing the driver of the cart stand up, I said, "I know you won't let me go today, but I have a request before I die, and I don't know if you can agree to my request." ”

"Say, for a dying man, we can meet any request. ”

The driver of the cart replied very cheerfully, obviously in his heart, I saw that he was so cheerful, quite cheerfully asked the following question: "Why are you so impatient, you must kill me." ”

"Because you're going to know the truth right away, and the closer you are to the truth, the faster you'll die. ”

The driver of the car replied without hesitation, and when I heard his last sentence, I patted my thigh excitedly: "I want to ask if you know three people?"

"Which three?"

The driver of the car glanced at Li Shaogang, and then asked me, in order to delay time, I asked directly: "Zhang Mingxin, Jiang Wenwen and Li Li." ”

"Wu Xiao, I have to admire, you are really a very smart person...... Yes, I don't hide it from you, I killed all three of them. ”

The driver of the cart replied without hesitation, confirming my judgment, and his appearance gave me a new conclusion about the previous case, the death of those three people was not a separate case, but a series of murders.

The murderer was cruel by nature, and his methods of committing the crime were quite brutal, which is highly consistent with the recent series of cases in western Hubei, so the past can be understood by combining the cases.

In the end, the topic returned to square one.

I asked them that question that has been the same for thousands of years: "Why the hell are you doing this, and what is your motive for committing the crime?"

The driver of the car looked at Li Shaogang again, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, and his whole body trembled, and he fell down in a daze.

A figure jumped through the window, and the figure sent a thin slice from his hand, cutting the throat of the driver of the cart and killing him.

I looked back and saw that it was Leng Xiao, after Leng Xiao killed the driver of the car, he was about to pounce on me to check on me, Li Shaogang raised his gun and fired two shots at her.

A shot was shot in the arm, and she dodged the other.

Leng Xiao shot a thin slice from his hand again, and cut his throat again Li Shaogang, Li Shaogang covered his neck, plopped and rolled down the stairs, and the sound of a 120 ambulance sounded outside the building, as if it had been rehearsed a long time ago......
