Chapter 52: Fishing
Clean mattresses.
Spotlessly clean floors.
There are also neat furniture and various objects.
As a 68-year-old's bedroom, it was completely clean enough to surprise you.
However, as a victim's bedroom, this is undoubtedly unqualified!
"Didn't you tell the families of the victims to protect places where there might be some valuable information?"
Olivia pulled the policeman into the room with some annoyance, closed the bedroom door, avoided the young couple guarding the door, and whispered a scolding.
"Sir, I assure you that the police station told the family as soon as they confirmed the identity of the deceased to keep as much as possible all the belongings of the deceased, and I didn't expect that they would start cleaning the room because they had waited too long, because the deceased also had a wife, who was not young, and when she looked at the original arrangement, she would think of her deceased husband......"
The police were a little embarrassed and explained that the behavior of the deceased's family had added a lot of trouble to the operation, but if they really wanted to talk about them, they couldn't open their mouths, after all, the family was also for another old man to continue to live.
"Let's go separately, you take care of this side, I'll go to the painter and have a look. ”
Zhu Jue raised his hand to wipe the door frame, and his fingertips could even feel a touch of wetness, and he didn't know if it was because of the weather or if he had just cleaned it before they came.
In any case, it should be impossible to get more information here, and it would be a waste of time for two people to spend time here.
"Okay, I'll take you ......"
"Don't follow me, Olivia, you send me the address, I'll go over myself, and take a look around. ”
Rejecting the police's idea of giving him a ride, Zhu Jue opened the door directly and walked out, and happened to meet the couple who were walking upstairs with three cups of steaming coffee.
"Sir, we made coffee for you, although it is not high-end, but the taste is okay. ”
The woman with a somewhat fat figure held a cup of coffee, handed her hands in front of Zhu Jue, and pulled the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to smile, but she never showed a smile, but there were a few more folds and furrows at the corners of her mouth, which made her expression look a little stiff.
"Thank you...... Hiss~"
Zhu Jue reached out to take the coffee cup, but the moment he touched it, he was burned by the hot wall of the cup, gasped, and turned to hold the bottom of the cup.
The strong physical fitness made Zhu Jue not let go of the coffee cup, and only glanced at the woman's fingers that were also a little red with some confusion.
Doesn't she feel hot?
Zhu Jue, who rushed to the painter's residence, did not dwell too much on this issue, and took two sips of coffee, letting the slightly bitter taste linger in his mouth, and boosting his dull mood because of the bad weather.
Put on the raincoat you just took off and walk out into the heavy rain outside.
Olivia sent a map of the painter's residence to Zhu Jue's mobile phone, some distance from here, but not far, the heavy rain did not cause much hindrance to Zhu Jue, when he acted alone, he secretly summoned the scavenger to his feet to form a roller skate like roller skates, and the speed of the journey was not slow.
About twenty minutes later, a single-family villa that looked more upscale than the previous family's residence appeared in front of Zhu Jue, and the police were right, the location of the painter's residence was really a bit remote.
Unlike the rest of the town's inhabitants, who generally built their houses on the relatively dry heights of the swamp forest, the painter's dwelling was actually next to the swampy lake, and the house was a suspended structure, with the bottom two to three meters above the ground.
To the right of the house is a swampy lake, and there is a building that looks like a private harbor, with speedboats docked, but judging by the lack of rain protection on the top and the duckweed accumulated around the boats, it must have been stored here for a long time.
On the left, there is dense vegetation, with a large number of unknown vines climbing half of the walls, and even half of the windows are obscured.
Stepping on the stairs outside the house, the wooden planks under his feet creaked, Zhu Jue looked at the curtains that were drawn in the house, and quickened his pace.

The sound of branches breaking!
Zhu Jue, who had just walked to the main entrance, heard an abnormal sound, and immediately turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from, and behind the bushes a few meters away on the left, there was a pale face looking at this side!
The eyes of the two sides met in the rain, and there was a pause for a moment, and the next second Zhu Jue slapped on the railing, turned over and jumped down, and went straight to the man, who did not wait in place, turned around and ran.
Needless to say, Zhu Jue's speed under the full run was like a cheetah shuttling through the forest, and the bushes or muddy roads along the way could not hinder his footsteps at all, and the distance between the two sides was shortened at a very fast speed.
Seeing that he couldn't run, the person in front of him turned around again and already had an extra firearm in his hand, panting heavily, the rain splashed out along the hot air, stared at Zhu Jue and shouted: "Policeman, hold your head in your hands, squat!"
"You're a cop?"
With his roar, Zhu Jue, who was about to start, froze, and then stepped forward again, saying as he walked,
"Even if you want to find a reason, please find a reasonable one, if you are a policeman, why do you want to run, besides, the gun in your hand is not a standard pistol of the police station at all, and your ID, can you just pretend to be a police officer by mouth these days?"
Bang!
The sound of gunfire rang out in the rain, not from the front, but from the swamp forest on the side, Zhu Jue turned sideways, and a scorching bullet slashed in front of him.
And accomplices?
Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed to the person in front of him, Zhu Jue was about to take down this suspicious guy first, but what Zhu Jue didn't expect was that the target took advantage of the gunfire just now to win the space and jumped directly into the swamp lake on the side.
"Heh, do you really think of yourself as a mermaid?"
Zhu Jue looked at the ripples on the lake that had not yet dissipated, and made a movement with his right hand to throw a rod while fishing, although there was no fishing rod in his hand, there was still a "fishing line" thrown out.
The "hook" transformed by the scavenger fell into the river, and it didn't need any bait, because it would find the target by itself, but it was only a few seconds, and Zhu Jue thought that the person who jumped into the lake must not be able to swim far, standing on the shore and spreading his senses, wanting to lock the other party's position as quickly as possible.
Airplanes!!!
The early warning buzz that suddenly appeared in Zhu Jue's mind forcibly interrupted his perception, and the scavenger who had just been thrown out lost Zhu Jue's order, and just blindly shuttled through the lake, looking for the target who didn't know where to go......
"Where the hell is it?"
With some indescribable, disgusting feeling rushing into his mind, Zhu Jue gritted his teeth and looked around with a low roar.
Such a strong warning buzz Zhu Jue had not seen many times, and at this time, he had completely given up perceiving the person just now, and instead began to look for the existence that suddenly appeared to interfere with him.
A certain moment.
When he cast his gaze on the swamp forest in the distance, he saw the being.
It appeared in the middle of a forest, a large number of spikes that seemed to still exude a dark brown metallic luster even in the rain from the lake, Zhu Jue was sure that this was just a part of the main body hidden under the surface of the lake, so he stared wide, as if to let his vision penetrate the rain curtain and completely record the appearance of the guy.
However, this was just wishful thinking on the part of Zhu Jue, and as soon as he noticed the existence of that place, the latter had already begun to slowly sink into the lake.
The whole process takes no more than 10 seconds.
In the end, everything was calm.
Only the torrential rain remains!
