Chapter 43: The Circle

At dusk, the afterglow of the sun should have filled the sky, but the haze that came out of thin air swallowed up the scenery that originally belonged to every Los Angeles resident little by little before the night was about to fall, just like the 2008 publication of "The City of Haze - The History of Haze in Los Angeles", the city began with the first haze in the early morning of July 26, 1943, and Los Angeles, which has many nicknames, has another nickname related to the weather.

"Pull the cordon!"

"Seal off all entrances and exits around!"

"Evacuate residents and prohibit any reporters from interviewing and spectators."

Around Catherine's house, the clamor kept coming, the Los Angeles police filled the area like ants moving, and the flashing lights of the police car had a thrilling effect as if it had been attacked by terrorists, and when a household was persuaded to be evacuated from their homes by uniformed patrol officers, the largest police dispatch in the history of Los Angeles took place.

The Special Operations Bureau's SWAT began to look for high spots nearby to set up sniper positions, the crime control forces were around to prevent riots, and the demolition team in the installation team was in the command car and Matthew was holding the blueprints to discuss the assault plan, while Justin, the only person who had ever entered the warehouse, was recounting what he saw......

"There is no distance."

Justin reached out and pulled off his tie, and said with a nervous expression: "Ted squatted behind Catherine and used her as a shield, the scalpel in his hand was on Catherine's neck, and I saw with my own eyes that the blade was close to the skin, and there was no distance at all." Deputy Director Matthew, I suggest that the assault plan be cancelled and negotiators should be sent in first. ā€

In the command vehicle. Justin and Chekov quarreled. Chekov meant. Give him a sniper rifle and have the demolition team blast a one-meter-diameter hole in the corner, the sound of the explosion will definitely attract Ted's attention, and the second the gap appears, as long as the dust dissipates quickly enough, he is 99% sure that Ted will be killed with one shot.

Matthew originally agreed with Chekov's plan, but when they arrived. The fog drifted up at this time, and the visibility around it quickly dropped to ten meters, so if there was an accident in this matter, in case Catherine died...... The pressure on the police station and his father is probably not enough to lift the shoulders of steel.

"SIR, THERE'S SOMETHING NEW."

The latest news came from the investigation and analysis department and the members of the computer array in the command car: "Since an hour ago, people have been calling the police to report that there are people killing people in the live broadcast room, and after verification, we have found the IP, which is very unfortunate." The location where Catherine was located was to upload the video over the wireless network for live streaming. ā€

Matthew instantly shifted from presiding over the overall situation to the computer screen, the screen. That's exactly what it looks like in that hut. The hut was a little dim, and there, Weekend was standing in the doorway, and Ted was standing behind Catherine, and at that moment, Chekov's eyes were staring out, click!

He pulled out his pistol, buckled the safety of his thumb, turned around and walked out of the command car.

At this point, no one was more reassuring to him than Chekov himself entering, and at a distance in this room, he was confident enough to kill Ted as long as he could raise the muzzle of his gun the moment he entered the room, and he didn't care about the rest.

"Don't let anyone in, you don't go out, I just need to get to anything that makes me suspicious, and you know what's going to happen next."

As soon as Ted's voice appeared, Matthew's heart trembled, and he hurriedly shouted: "Chekov, as long as you go in, Ted will kill Catherine!" ā€

Matthew was so messed up that he forgot to cut off Ted's internet signal to upload the video and let it play on everyone's computer screens.

That was his baby daughter, who had been raised from a little bit to such a big daughter now, completely pampered like a princess, how could Matthew's heart not be chaotic at this time, if he could, he couldn't wait to rush in and exchange places with his daughter; If he could, he would even be willing to get out of his office, which was almost on the sign of the police chief, and trade everything he had for the safety of his daughter and unborn grandson.

Not only were the people outside at a loss, but even the weekend, who was standing opposite Ted, felt his head swell.

After Ted's menacing words, the guy crouched back behind Catherine, the flashing lights outside the door made him tense his nerves, and the slightest irritation at this time would have caused blood to splatter on the spot, because all the conditions that the bastard asked for were met.

It's just that Ted doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

He continued, "The days after killing that woman were times when I still feel relaxed when I think about it, can you believe it, when I could turn a blind eye to the rumors at school, no matter what they said about me behind my back, the smiling face would always be on my face." ā€

"I have to thank that back in the days when there was no road surveillance, when a missing person didn't get much attention, and the police and Scotland Yard in the UK didn't seem to like this kind of case very much, and the case was shelved after a circle of statements was recorded on campus, as was customary."

This happened a lot during Ted's college days, when there was no DNA technology, fingerprint matches were often wrong, and the girl was just missing, and there was no one to prove her death...... Truth be told, weekends are commonplace.

"There is always an end to those days, right?"

Sensing something on the weekend, he found that Ted did not do what he said before, as soon as the conditions were ready, but told the story word by word, and in this state, he was completely in a sense of urgency and tension...... He's torturing himself!

This bastard used the last bit of his life to greedily enjoy the process of torturing himself when he knew that the current situation was in his favor and that he had nothing to do with him.

F―U―C―K!

That's what he aimed!

The person Ted hates the most is always himself, and the person he mailed the CD to the police station was obviously to let himself follow the clues to find it, because Ted knew that after Adam's death, the only person in the entire homicide department could keep up with his thinking, so the first person to come no longer needed to make any estimates.

As for this position in the doorway, Ted had prepared it a long time ago, standing here, he could clearly see Catherine's exhaustion and fear, and under the guidance of this emotion, the state of mind in the midst of dire distress would gradually appear on his face with the passage of time, like a prisoner who was sentenced to death must have been the most painful the night before leaving.

It was this kind of pain that he wanted, and this kind of pain was like a top-notch delicacy with black truffles and white truffles, and Ted didn't stand up carelessly, but wanted to be completely enjoyed by himself in greed.

The most painful torture is that you know that there are so many cards on the other side, you can't flip the table yet, and once the table is lifted, no one can control the next situation.

"Of course, those days passed quickly."

"When the numbness of this memory appeared, my world changed for the second time."

Recall?

These two words made the weekend start to concentrate again, and he had seen this step in Lambert's writing, when the serial killer had his first murder experience, then the experience would merge into the fantasy, and they would fantasize about a perfect kill in a time when they could calm down, so they would keep falling into contemplation, first imagining a careful plan, making step-by-step preparations, and finally, the moment the mind was no longer held and unable to control their actions, the second killing would appear.

"Did you kill the person who gave you the nickname or the person who spread the rumors?"

In the weekend's heart, these two kinds of people are Ted's killers, and nothing can change.

"I'm ......" Ted lowered his head, then saw his body tremble and a second or so before a non-human laugh came out, "Hehe, I killed my parents." ā€

I touched my hand directly behind my back on the weekend!!

Luckily, he forgot that his gun had been taken out by Justin, otherwise he would have really shot Ted out of control!

What kind of beast can do it to their own parents? How did he get his hands on it!

"You--!" On the weekend, I almost gritted my teeth and squeezed out such a sentence between my teeth, and the green tendons on my head popped out.

"You don't want to hear it?"

"Impossible!"

"Remember what I told you before I said that? As long as you can stand it, I can say everything as I am. It's like Adam started a war between us, and when it starts, it's up to you to decide, and when it ends, it's up to me! ā€

Ted was crazy, really crazy When he shouted these words, he could see much bigger body movements on each other at the weekend than just now: "I killed my parents, not them, maybe I would have been in love with my first love until the end, if they hadn't sent me to England, I wouldn't be what I am today." ā€

"I set a fire, deliberately got into a fight with my neighbors before setting the fire, and then went to steal their gasoline barrels, drove outside in the middle of the night to refuel, and burned down the whole house."

"In this way, the direction of the police investigation will be removed from me......"

Catherine closed her eyes and shouted, "Shut up!! ā€

"Hmm!"

Her mouth was covered by Ted, and Ted's voice didn't stop: "Why do you have to shut me up?" Why should my freedom be controlled by someone named Parents? Why is my physical defect a tool for you to make fun of? Why is there no one in this world who can get along with me like a normal person? ā€

Ted was suddenly stunned, and Mune, who couldn't see it on the weekend, responded: "There is ......"

"I almost forgot about her, but after graduating from college, I got a high-paying position with excellent grades, and at that time, I met a girl who was willing to tolerate everything about me, and that girl was Jane ......" (to be continued......
