Chapter 263: Monster (I)
The night, cold, cold and lifeless.
It's just that tonight's air seems to be filled with thick blood.
A sad "Dad" resounded throughout the quiet street, and the dogs of several nearby families immediately barked, and the originally cold whole street suddenly became a little popular, a few windows were lit up, and even one or two families had figures shaking by the windows, as if they wanted to poke their heads out to see what was going on, but they were a little timid.
Chu Yuan stood up, his eyes moved from the body of the dog corpse and turned out of the alley, and a trace of essence flashed in his eyes. In a flash, he disappeared in place, and the next moment he was already at the mouth of the alley, and then rushed to the house where he had screamed earlier. Judging from the direction from which the voice came from, the scream came from the home of "Brother Li", the purpose of his trip. Was it the murderer who came to kill this "Big Brother Li"? Or was it an accidental coincidence?
The house had the same structure as the one during the day, and it was a floor-to-floor building. The downstairs door was locked, with no signs of being tampered with, and the upstairs windows were closed. Chu Yuan ran around the building, and finally there was a gap in a window on the second floor on the south side, and if he didn't pay attention, he would almost think that this window was also closed.
Chu Yuan took a few steps back, ran for a while, kicked the window eaves on the upper floor, and then kicked up hard, and the whole person rushed straight up like a cannonball. Then he quickly reached out and grabbed the windowsill of the window on the second floor, and with a strong palm, he jumped up very easily. The second floor was three meters high from the ground, but it was so easy for Chu Yuan to come up, which showed how amazing his muscle explosion and bounce power were.
Reaching out and gently pushing, the hidden window was pushed open, and the first thing Chu Yuan smelled after jumping into the house was a strong smell of blood. He didn't hesitate and ran out of what looked like a study.
At this moment, Chu Yuan suddenly trembled lightly, turned around with an extremely fast degree, and stared at the window that came in with a wary expression. He stood in the dark for a few seconds before moving to the window to look out. The street outside was still dark, and only a street lamp lit the street a little way apart. The whole street was silent, and although many families were awakened by the sound and turned on the lights, no one came out to see what was going on. There wasn't even a ghost on the street.
Chu Yuan looked at him with some confusion for a moment, he had just intuitively sensed that someone was looking at him, as if a pair of cold eyes appeared out of thin air on this window and stared at him tightly. But he couldn't find the source of this feeling, was it an illusion or was the other party's skills so clever that even Chu Yuan couldn't show it? After looking at it carefully for a while, Chu Yuan still left the window and ran out of this room. Outside is the staircase passage and there is also a room opposite which is a living room.
The smell of blood came from upstairs, so Chu Yuan immediately ran up to the third floor without stopping. There were also two rooms on the third floor, and Chu Yuan pushed open the door of one room with the smell of blood, and suddenly frowned slightly. Through the moonlight through the window, you can see two people lying in this room, one of whom is lying on the bed, it is "Brother Li". "Brother Li" seemed to be still asleep, and his expression was still very peaceful, as if he had just slept for him, and then he could never wake up again. There was also a male corpse lying by the door, looking to be in his forties and fifties, wearing thin pajamas, the clothes on his chest were torn, the flesh was blurred, and there were blood stains everywhere under his body. His expression was horrified, as if he had seen something terrible before he died. His mouth was still wide open, and his eyes were wide open, and it seemed that he had just screamed the scream.
After Chu Yuan glanced at it a few times, he rushed to the opposite room and stretched out his hand to push open the door. This room is empty, the bedding is still very messy, it should be the room of Brother Li's son, that is, the middle-aged man. Brother Li lost his wife at an early age and had three sons, two of whom had already moved out, and now he lives with his youngest son. The youngest son also divorced his wife four years ago, and the son and daughter under his knees, the son is raised by him, and the daughter is led by his wife, so he and Brother Li's rooms are all alone.
Thinking of this, Chu Yuan immediately ran up to the fourth floor again, and sure enough, there was a strong smell of blood coming from the fourth floor. He pushed the room open, and there was also a male corpse lying on the bed, looking to be in his twenties, and his expression was very stable. Brother Li's youngest son screamed very loudly just now, and there was no reason why he wouldn't alarm this little grandson, so Chu Yuan speculated that the murderer first went up to the fourth floor to kill this little grandson, and then went down to the third floor to kill Big Brother Li. There may be some movement in it, or Brother Li's youngest son just came out to go to the toilet and was seen by him, so there will be such a sad scream. Judging from the youngest son's expression before his death, it is likely that he saw the true face of the murderer, so he had such a frightened look.
Chu Yuan searched carefully in this house, but there was no appearance. The death of Brother Li's whole family was exactly the same as that of the family during the day, all of them were disemboweled, and their hearts were missing. Moreover, the wounds have traces of being torn. What's even stranger is that there is blood all over the house, but the murderer has not left any clues. It was as if its feet did not touch the ground, and not even a bloody footprint was left.
Also, how did the murderer escape? Chu Yuan rushed over as soon as he heard the sound, and the window on the second floor on the south side was in his sight at that time, and he was sure that he didn't see anything coming out of that window. But except for the window, the other windows were locked, and even the downstairs door showed no signs of being damaged. So where did the murderer go?
Chu Yuan was on guard, and searched each room one by one, and finally the door of the balcony of Brother Li's youngest son's room was hidden. He cautiously pushed open the door to the balcony, where there were still a few clothes hanging outside, and looked down from the balcony, which was eight or nine meters above the ground. Did it jump out of here?
Chu Yuan compared the height, it was quite difficult for him to jump such a high distance. If you change to the group of buildings or high-rise buildings in the city, it is almost close to the height of four floors, in such a high place, who dares to jump and jump?
Chu Yuan stood on the balcony and was silent for a while before finally turning around and going down to the second floor. He's been here for a long time, and that scream must have alarmed the people nearby, although no one dares to come out to see what's going on, even if one or two figures occasionally appear, they are quickly pulled back by their families, but it's certain that someone has called the police. Chu Yuan had to leave before the police arrived, otherwise when the police came, he was standing alone at the scene of the murder, and this suspicion could not be cleared even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Although Chu Yuan himself was not worried about anything, this unnecessary trouble could be less or less.
After returning to the window that he climbed in on the second floor, Chu Yuan first carefully looked at the situation outside the window, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to this side, the cat body rushed out of the window. The body spun in a circle in mid-air, and his feet fell to the ground steadily, making an inaudible sound, and then Chu Yuan rushed forward without hesitation, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
The night is still the cold night, but the evening breeze always carries a strong smell of blood. Not long after Chu Yuan left, several police cars roared in, and the whine of sirens pierced the quiet night sky.
"What do you think?" asked Agni, rubbing his somewhat sour eyes.
"Gollum. The drunkard poured a big sip of spirits, spit out a long breath of wine very satisfied, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Old immortal, you pulled me over in the middle of the night for this matter?"
Agni smiled bitterly, "Didn't I pay you a bottle of wine?" ”
The drunkard shook and was poured a small half bottle of Jingcheng liquor by him in one go. He couldn't get enough of it: "One bottle is enough." ”
Agni said angrily, "Okay, I'm asking you." ”
"What?"
Agni let out a long sigh helplessly: "You didn't listen to what I said just now?"
The drunkard rolled his eyes and said, "You talk about that thing in a moment." After a while, I said, how do I know which one you're asking. ”
Agni knocked on the table and said, "You can put the matter of the collar for the time being, but the matter of that thing has already been urged." ”
"Urging?" the drunkard glared, "I'm not sure if it's coming out again, if it's really it." Let them figure it out. All day long I know to urge, urge, urge......"
"Alright. Agni waved his hand and said, "Two families have died in a row in one day, which has had a great impact on Qiandu Town, and people are panicking. Now that the people there don't dare to live anymore, do you think the top is not in a hurry?"
The drunkard pursed his lips and took another long sip of wine without speaking.
Agni sighed and said, "This matter is making a big deal now, so I decided to ......"
Just then, the phone rang on the Agni desk. Agni stopped his voice, picked up the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"
A deep male voice sounded in the words. From the voice alone, it can be imagined that his body should listen to the burly kind: "Team leader, Bing is back." ”
"Well, got it. Let him come to my office. ”
"Yes!"
After Agni hung up the phone, the drunkard was the first to ask, "Is the little one back?"
Huo rubbed the sun ** and said: "I said that I was going out for a walk, what was there to visit in the middle of the night." ”
"You don't care about him. The drunkard swallowed a sip of wine, burped, and said lazily, "No one can hurt him." ”
Agni smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that he will hurt someone." ”
"He's not the kind of person who makes a fuss. ”
"Well, I know that too...... But this won't work, next time you have to find someone to accompany him. ”
The drunkard glanced at him. Asked, "When did our ability group start restricting the freedom of its members?"
Agni said angrily: "It's not that you don't know his identity, and you ......" Agni Huo paused in the middle of his words and didn't say any more. His gaze turned to the office door.
After a few seconds. A stern male voice sounded outside: "Report!"
"Come in. ”
The office door was gently pushed open, and a soldier stood outside and saluted inside. said: "Report sir, the person you want is here." ”
Agni nodded.
The soldier took a step back to make way for him, and Chu Yuan passed in front of him and walked into the office, and then stood by the door with an indifferent expression. The soldier closed the door with a light movement and left.
After Chu Yuan came in, he first glanced at the drunkard who was still pouring wine, and then asked Agni, "Looking for me?"
Huo nodded and asked, "Where have you been?"
"It's out. ”
Agni smiled faintly and said, "I know you're out...... Hey, forget it. However, it is best not to go out alone in the future, the terrain of the capital is more complicated, especially the four major ...... The three major families have been in trouble recently because of some things, and the current situation is a bit chaotic, and besides, you are not familiar with life here, in case you are implicated for no reason, it will be troublesome. ”
Chu Yuan looked at him lightly and didn't speak, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking from that flat face.
Agni waved his hand and said, "I'm also good for you, forget it, let's not talk about this for now." By the way, there was news from Qiandu Town that they said that another family died there not long ago. ”
"I know. ”
Agni was stunned for a moment: "You know?"
Chu Yuan said lightly: "I just came back from Qiandu Town. ”
This time, not only Agni, but even the drunkard who had been drinking all this time put down his bottle and looked at him with a strange expression.
Agni frowned lightly and asked, "You went to Qiandu Town?"
"Hmm. ”
"What are you doing over there?"
Chu Yuan replied very simply and succinctly: "Investigate the case."
"Oh?" Agni Huo leaned on the arm of the chair with one hand, looked at Chu Yuan with both eyes, and asked, "Did you find out anything?"
Chu Yuan said: "That thing only eats people. ”
Agni was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Chu Yuan then found the corpse of the dog in Qiandu Town, although it was torn apart, but the organs were the same, and then he heard the screams to find it, and told the story of the first murder scene one by one.
After Chu Yuan finished speaking, Agni asked, "You didn't leave a trace, did you?"
Chu Yuan said lightly: "No." ”
Agni nodded, "That's best, if you find out that you've been there, you'll be very suspicious." Although we can keep you, there will still be big trouble when the time comes. ”
"Yes. ”
Agni touched his chin and asked, "From what you can see, it should have entered through the window on the second floor, and then jumped off the balcony on the third floor to escape?"
"Yes, the latch of the window is broken, it is not locked, and it can be pushed open with a little force. When he said this, Chu Yuan couldn't help but think of the feeling he had when he first entered the house. I can't tell what kind of feeling it is, I always feel that there are a pair of cold eyes looking at him in the dark, which makes him feel very depressed and unspeakably uncomfortable. Although that feeling came and went quickly, it was just a flash in the pan and disappeared without a trace, but it was this blink of an eye that made Chu Yuan feel as if he was in an ice cellar, cold and straight to the heart.
Agni nodded, and then asked, "But why did it jump out of the third floor? Also, why did it go up from the second floor to the fourth floor and kill people, and then run back to the third floor to kill people again?"
The meaning of the fire is obvious, and it is a speculation that doubts Chu Yuan. This can't be blamed on him, in other words, in the ordinary people's thinking, it is unreasonable to have a much safer second floor without escaping, and to have to jump from the dangerous third floor. Because the murderer still had time to escape calmly, unless it was frightened by the screams of Brother Li's son and fled in a panic, or there was no difference between jumping from the second floor and jumping from the third floor for it, then it was another matter. Also, coming up from the second floor, you should first go to the third floor to kill people, and then go up to the fourth floor to kill people. However, the murderer had to go the other way, first going up to the fourth floor to kill people, and then going back to the third floor.
Chu Yuan didn't explain much, because there was no need to explain anything. Believing it or not believing it will have no effect on him. He was never one to care what other people thought. It's just that what he cares about is the feeling when he is by the window, the cold that pierces the bone marrow, I don't know if it's an illusion, or something else? But for Chu Yuan, this feeling is too deep and clear. Was it the murderer who was hiding in the dark and watching him? If so, then this murderer was really terrible. Because this kind of cold and piercing gaze will never appear on anyone.
What the hell is this murderer?
