Chapter 276: The Real Great Pursuit
Mou Jun killed seven prison guards while escaping from prison, and then killed a family of five, and it was a death.
Twelve people died before and after, and this is already a big case that has broken the sky. And because of the uncertainty of its actions, the government's crisis department has been fully involved, and if it were not for fear of causing a large-scale panic, the news would not have been blocked in a small area.
Just now, when Fang Wuxian went home and opened the door, he was still glad that his judgment was wrong, and Mu Jun did not commit the crime again. But before the slippers were changed, the bad news had already come.
Mu Jun really committed the crime again, and there were as many as two times, and the number of victims far exceeded the number of the previous two times combined.
Fang Wuxian hurriedly said hello to Shen Ziyan, and went downstairs to the helicopter that Zhang Xiaoxiao came to pick him up. The helicopter went straight to the first crime site, the thirteen hurdles on the north side of Shepanling.
Thirteen ridges are deep in the mountains, and there is only one dirt and stone road leading to the Shepanling Highway, which is an extremely closed village.
Originally, there were more than 100 households here, but because it is located in the deep mountains, it is not easy to travel, most of them have moved away one after another, and now there are only 13 families left, and more than 60 people are guarding the ancestral industry here.
If there are fewer people, there are more resources, and relatively speaking, everyone is living a good life except for being closed. But at noon today, it was a catastrophe from the sky. Among the thirteen households, six families lived a little farther away, and the remaining seven families lived in concentrated homes, except for the ten people who went into the mountains to work, the remaining 22 old and weak women and children, countless chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, all died in the hands of Mu Jun.
Fang Wuxian listened to Zhang Xiaoxiao's dictation, and could already imagine the tragedy of the situation.
After the plane landed, through the temporary bright lights, I saw the coagulated black blood like a sea, and the corpses were not divided into men and women, young and old, human and animal.
This is no longer a simple homicide, but a human tragedy.
It was as if a sledgehammer had slammed into Fang Wuxie's heart, the pain was greater than ever, his fists clenched with hatred, his nails dug into the flesh unconsciously, his teeth clenched, and tears in his eyes couldn't help but slide down.
The night breeze whimpered, and Fang Wuxian carefully distinguished the breath in his nose and judged the time and process. Eyes don't miss any clues, trying to determine what happened.
Fang Wuxian walked from the place where the smell of Mu Jun had been left in the beginning, it was a small courtyard of the family, and in the courtyard was the body of the beheaded and broken hostess, the corpse was still holding a wooden water scoop in its hand, and the traces of a scoop of water could be seen on the ground.
"He must have been awake when he came, probably begging for a sip of water. But suddenly he went berserk and killed this woman, at this time, it was probably in..."
Fang Wuxian raised his eyes to look at the sky and muttered, "Around noon." ”
Fang Wuxian followed the route that Mu Jun had taken step by step, as if he had verified with his own eyes how Mu Jun killed people violently and how he did not leave chickens and dogs. After killing all the twenty-two people around, how did he stand silently beside the hostess.
Maybe at that time, Mu Jun was already sober again, right? Will he weep in pain as he did in the morning when he watched the people he killed?
Fang Wuxian walked into the house, walked out again, pointed to a footprint in the shadows and said: "After Mu Jun finished killing people, he got a basin of water to wash himself, changed his clothes and left, and the breath after that was already faint, but he still left footprints here, looking at the direction of leaving, it should be going straight to the northeast." ”
"The second crime site is indeed in the northeast direction." Zhang Xiaoxiao had been following behind Fang Wuxie, looked at the direction where the footprints were pointing, it was a one-person high stone wall, and wondered: "Why didn't he take the right path, but went up the wall in one step?" ”
Fang Wuxian shook his head, he stood next to the footprints, his knees bent slightly and bounced up rapidly, and with one arm pressed on the stone wall, he had already jumped up.
"Look, there's a faint footprint here, the same shoe as the footprint left below."
Fang Wuxian jumped from the wall to the other side, and Zhang Xiaoxiao also climbed over the wall to follow. Fang Wuxian frowned and said: "Although it is not difficult for a martial arts master to jump over the ridge, but this place is not far from the gate, this is not in line with people's habits?" ”
Fang Wuxian lowered his head and carefully observed the ground, followed the footprints for more than a dozen steps, and was blocked by a stone wall in front of him. It is obvious that the Mu army was still climbing over the wall here at that time.
Fang Wuxian followed again, this time the footprints circled the house slightly, and then turned out from another stone wall, and then there was no more house wall to block it, and the footprints went straight to the northeast.
He jumped back onto the wall, looked back, and found that Mu Jun had walked in a straight line. A thought suddenly popped into his heart: "Between two points, the straight line is the shortest, and Mu Jun is in a hurry." ”
Fang Wuxian took out his mobile phone and opened the map, and found that from Huzhou to the Thirteen Daokan, this direction is basically all the way to the northeast, but unfortunately the mobile phone map is too small, and it is impossible to know the starting point of Mu Jun, so it is difficult to judge where Mu Jun is going.
He hurriedly said to Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Do you have a large map in your hand?" ”
"Yes," Zhang Xiaoxiao took Fang Wuxian back to the helicopter and took out a large map, which was densely marked with no means a commodity on the market, but a military map.
Fang Wuxian asked, "Where is the second place where the crime occurred?" ”
"Here," Zhang Xiaoxiao took out a red pen and marked on the map: "This time he killed not people, but all the animals that appeared in front of him." It was discovered by a villager who went up the mountain to chop firewood, and he called the police because he thought he had encountered a poacher, and Liu Zhenyuan was checking the situation there. ”
Fang Wuxian was not in the mood to listen to Zhang Xiaoxiao say what happened to the case, he picked up the red pen and connected the second crime point with this place, this direction was the same as the route of the Mu army simulated in his mind.
He will extend in a straight line in the direction of Huzhou, just past the vicinity of the place where the crime occurred in the morning.
"He really walked in a straight line."
"What straight line do you say?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
"You see, starting from the place where the crime was committed in the morning, to the thirteen hurdles, and then to the next one, it's basically a straight line." Fang Wuxian got up and pointed to the wall just now and said, "When he left here, he didn't take the right path, but jumped over the ridge, just to take a straight line......
Zhang Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "You mean he went straight to the northeast, and he was in a hurry, in a hurry?" ”
"Yes, that's how it should be." Fang Wuxian took the pen and stretched it along the map in a straight line to the northeast, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, and finally stopped in one place and turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaoxiao.
"This is the monument!" Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "What is he doing there?" ”
Fang Wuxian frowned and was silent, thousands of thoughts flashed in his heart, and in the end, it all came down to one point, that is, Mu Jun was Xiao Yan's experiment, he must know a lot of things about Xiao Yan, and he might even know that Xiao Yan's experiment was related to the "Earthquake Heaven" monument.
"Contact Xiao Yan and let the people in the monument hide. We'll rush over right away. Fang Wuxian couldn't help but say and got on the plane.
Zhang Xiaoxiao wondered: "What if his purpose is not there?" ”
"It must be." Fang Wuxian sighed: "I'm afraid that it's too late for us to rush over at this time, according to his running speed, I'm afraid we have already arrived there at this time." ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao contacted her superiors and asked to inform Xiao Yan, and also asked the helicopter to call Liu Zhenyuan, so that Liu Zhenyuan could lead people to the historic site first. Fang Wuxian added a sentence next to him, "Regardless of whether the suspect is found or not, you must not get off the plane, you can only respond in the air." ”
Soon after Zhang Xiaoxiao made the call, the superior reported back the news: Xiao Yan was not at the historic site, and now he can't be contacted. However, there is no anomaly at the monument for the time being, and preparations have been made.
The thirteen ridges are less than 200 kilometers away from the monument, but the helicopter can't fly at night speed, and it would be good to be able to reach it in an hour. Originally, Liu Zhen was far away and could be reached in about ten minutes, but after ten minutes, the helicopter that Liu Zhenyuan was flying in lost contact. Not only that, but there is no news of the monuments.
Fang Wuxian and Zhang Xiaoxiao guessed that something had happened there, and although they were anxious, they were helpless.
An hour later, he finally flew near the monument, only to find that it was shrouded in a dense fog formation again.
"This may be the precaution they made, the formation can block all signals, and it is normal that we can't get in touch."
Zhang Xiaoxiao said comfortingly, but Fang Wuxian vaguely smelled a strong smell of blood.
From the point of view of time, if Mu Jun appears here, it should not be too long, the endurance of the helicopter is not outstanding, and he cannot rely on the helicopter to track a martial arts master in the dark. Fang Wuxian asked the helicopter to fly back to the second incident site, which was considered a temporary base. He and Zhang Xiaoxiao jumped down at a low altitude and tried to find the traces of Mu Jun.
Fang Wuxian took Zhang Xiaoxiao directly into the Dense Fog Great Array, and on the thumb of his right hand, he had the eye of the Jade Decision Formation that was originally a Dense Fog Great Array, and he could enter and exit the Great Array freely. The formation was re-energized by Xiao Yan's people at this time, and Yu Lu lost the effect of controlling the dense fog array.
But Fang Wuxian had a super sensitive sense of smell, and after entering the big array, the smell of blood he had smelled before was even heavier, and according to the smell, he quickly passed through the big array and came to the "cliff", which was the entrance to the crypt and the temporary base of Xiao Yan's research team.
It is said to be a base, but it is nothing more than a few crudely built wooden houses. Unfortunately, the house was gone at this time, only the burned ruins, and more than twenty charred corpses in the ruins.
Not far from the ruins, I heard a helicopter that had fallen down, with the word police printed on it, which should be the one Liu Zhenyuan was riding.
Fang Wuxian and Zhang Xiaoxiao searched through the ruins, and they found that most of the corpses this time were intact, and only some of them were injured by daggers. It's just that Liu Zhenyuan's body was not found here.
Fang Wuxie's nose buzzed, pulling Zhang Xiaoxiao back into the dense fog, and after three turns and two turns, he actually found Liu Zhenyuan, who was injured and unconscious, in the dense fog.
Liu Zhenyuan had a knife wound on his neck, but fortunately it did not hurt the artery and trachea, and it was only a minor injury.
Fang Wuxie was rough in medical skills, and there was a burst of massage between Liu Zhenyuan's chest and abdomen, Liu Zhenyuan took a long breath and came to his senses, and saw the two exclaiming: "It's him, it's Mu Jun, he's looking for something." ”
