Chapter 110: The Case of the Headless Corpse
After the completion of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Tang Xiaosheng only did two things. One is to find the traverser who broke the tightrope, and the other is to practice martial arts.
With his current martial arts, if he is placed in the modern society of the 21st century, he can definitely be regarded as a top master, and few modern people are his opponents.
It's just that he now knows that in addition to Xiaolongnu and Guo Xiang on the earth, there are really other traversers, and he suddenly has a sense of insecurity, because he doesn't know whether these traversers are friends or foes, and whether their martial arts are high or low.
In order to protect himself, he decided to seize the time to practice martial arts, just in case. For his idea, Xiaolongnu also fully agreed. They then accompanied Guo Xiang to look for traversers in the Jinghua Armed Police Hospital during the day, and practiced the "Jade Girl-Heart Sutra" together at night.
For Tang Xiaosheng, in addition to enhancing his strength, practicing the "Jade Girl-Heart Sutra" also has another benefit, that is, after practicing, he will feel prostration due to the heat of his whole body. In this way, after practicing, he will not have the strength to do anything else, and Tang Xiaosheng will not have to worry about Xiaolongnu's request for sex.
Looking for people during the day and practicing at night, such days passed for two whole months. And in two months, they didn't find any news about the traverser. Until July 18, a terrible murder occurred.
In the early morning of the same day, in a luxury hotel in Jinghua City, a waitress was instantly stunned when she opened a room on the seventh floor. Because she found two bodies lying on the bed in the guest room, one male and one female, naked.
And the most shocking thing is that the heads of these two corpses are gone, only the body, which is a veritable headless corpse!
Bright red blood gushed from the twisted neck, the white sheets were a blinding blood-red, and on the floor next to the bed, there was a large pool of blood.
After discovering the tragedy in the guest room, the person in charge of the hotel immediately called the police, and the criminal police brigade of the Jinghua City Public Security Bureau also quickly arrived at the scene of the murder, and Lin Shishi was among the criminal policemen who came.
After some investigation and questioning, the police learned that both deceased were guests of the hotel. The man is 42 years old this year, the CEO of Jinghua Jinling Electronics Co., Ltd., and a multimillionaire. The woman is an ordinary white-collar worker, a junior raised by this rich man. The two went to the hotel for the purpose of stealing love, but they didn't expect such a tragic murder to happen.
After examining the wounds on the necks of the two headless bodies, the medical examiner was surprised to find that their heads did not appear to have been cut off with a sharp object, but directly twisted. This discovery puzzled the medical examiner.
Because if a person does not use a knife, he can completely break a person's neck and remove his head with both hands, which requires a very large amount of force, and it is impossible for ordinary people to do it.
What's even more bizarre is that the twisted heads of the two headless corpses are not in the room, and they seem to have been taken away. It's just that after the police called up the surveillance video of the hotel on the night of the crime, they found that no one had entered the room except for the two deceased.
As a result, the murder case has become an unsolved case, and the police hardly know how to investigate it.
Who is the murderer? How did the killer kill them? Why did the murderer want to twist off the head of the deceased? How did the murderer twist his head? And where is the head of the deceased?
Countless similar problems were placed in front of them at the same time, and the police also felt that this murder case was very difficult, so they immediately set up an emergency task force and decided to investigate the case thoroughly.
After this horrific murder occurred, it attracted widespread attention from all walks of life, and everyone blamed the murderer for being cold-blooded and brutal, and speculations about the reasons behind the murder were also raised.
Tang Xiaosheng also saw relevant reports in the media, and after learning about the murder, the first word that flashed in his mind was "traverser". …,
This headless corpse case is so bizarre that it is almost impossible for ordinary people to complete such a murder procedure, but if the murderer is a time-traveler with a mastery of martial arts, then it is much easier.
In order to find out, Tang Xiaosheng found Lin Shishi, the criminal policeman in charge of the case, and with her help, got several photos of the deceased in the murder.
Xiaolongnu also saw these photos, and after carefully identifying the wound on the deceased's neck, she came to a conclusion: the deceased's head was broken by someone with internal strength!
In this way, the identity of the murderer can basically be determined, and he is indeed a traverser! And the internal strength of this traverser is not weak!
But who is this traverser? Is it the same person who broke the tightrope on the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? What is the purpose of this traverser?
Similar questions began to swirl in Tang Xiaosheng's mind, and after the murder, he thought about these questions almost every day, and did not dare to slack off. Because he knew that there were not only traversers on the earth, but also that these traversers might not be good, otherwise they would not have created such a heart-wrenching murder.
It's just that before he could find clues and the police investigation did not make any progress, similar murders happened one after another.
On the third day, that is, on July 21, in a commercial building in the center of Jinghua, a headless corpse appeared again, still the body was separated, and the head of the deceased disappeared, and the identity of the deceased was the owner of a food company in Jinghua City.
On July 23, a body was found in a black car on Heping Road, the same body was separated, and the head was also missing, and the identity of the deceased was the deputy director of the Jinghua Municipal Finance Bureau.
On July 24, in a private mansion on the outskirts of Jinghua City, another headless corpse appeared, and the deceased was the CEO of a real estate developer in Jinghua City.
……
In this way, almost every day or two, one or two headless corpses appeared in Jinghua City. The deceased's death features were identical, with their heads twisted alive and then taken away. Judging by the modus operandi, the murderer should be the same person.
Headless corpses appeared one after another, making the entire Jinghua City panic, many citizens did not dare to go out, some schools temporarily suspended classes, some shops temporarily closed for business, and even many people directly sold their houses in the city and moved out of this strange city.
And even more uneasy than ordinary citizens are some people in high society. Because in the next two months, a total of 49 headless corpses appeared in Jinghua City. After investigating and analyzing the identities of these deceased, the police found a phenomenon: the people killed by the murderers were either officials or wealthy businessmen, and there were no ordinary citizens.
As a result, many officials and wealthy businessmen in Jinghua City suddenly felt pressured, and they lived in fear every day, because they might become the next target of the murderer.
A few officials may have been under too much psychological pressure to survive, so they took the initiative to resign and quit their jobs. There are also some rich people who do not hesitate to go bankrupt and leave Jinghua City.
Seeing that the entire Jinghua City was in chaos, Tang Xiaosheng couldn't be calm in his heart, the situation was even worse than he imagined, this cold-blooded traverser had already caused the entire city to lose its normal order.
For the sake of safety, he lives with Xiaolongnu and Guo Xiang every day, almost inseparable. Because in case they encounter this murderous traverser, they will have a good response.
Life may seem like a mess, but there is good news.
On October 30, after several months of post-production, the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" finally officially met the audience and premiered at the golden eight o'clock file of Jinghua TV City Channel.
As a result of the headless corpse case, many citizens in Jinghua City have reduced their outdoor entertainment programs and stayed at home to watch TV. And the broadcast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" just gave them an excellent way to kill time. For this TV series, many citizens have been looking forward to it for a long time, for no other reason than Tang Xiaosheng. …,
At the end of last year, when Tang Xiaosheng was still in the psychiatric hospital, he was already the focus of Jinghua City, and news reports about him were overwhelming, and the name Tang Xiaosheng had already spread all over the streets.
When Tang Xiaosheng left the psychiatric hospital, Tang Xiaosheng became synonymous with the "king of acting", and many citizens were very much looking forward to seeing his plays, but unfortunately, there was no film and television information starring him on the Internet.
And now that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been released, these citizens finally want to see how Tang Xiaosheng interprets the honest and honest foolish Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
After the broadcast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the effect was also unexpectedly good, and the ratings soared all the way, and in less than two days after its release, it won the throne of Jinghua TV's ratings champion.
At the same time, in various media, whether it is online forums or newspapers and magazines, there are more and more comments about this TV series. As for the quality of this drama, most netizens gave a very high evaluation.
In a related voting survey launched by Sohu.com, among the more than 47,855 netizens who participated in the vote, more than eighty percent of them thought that the new version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was good or very good-looking. On Douban, netizens gave the new version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" a very high score, reaching 9.1 points!
The audience's response to this TV series is so strong, Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang, as the heroes and heroines in the play, have naturally become the focus of media attention, and their performance in the play has also received rave reviews.
If Tang Xiaosheng successfully played Guo Jing, this is what the audience is looking forward to, then Guo Xiang plays Huang Rong brilliantly, which is something the audience expected. Many people are very curious about where this cute and clever little girl came from, and Guo Xiang's popularity has skyrocketed with the broadcast of the TV series.
In addition to discussing Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang, the audience also has another topic that has attracted a lot of attention, and that is the martial arts design of this TV series.
Although martial arts films have a history of nearly 100 years since their birth, and countless films have been made, the martial arts design of Tang Xiaosheng's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has made everyone refreshed and brightened. Because they've never seen anything like it in martial arts.
These martial arts designs are arranged by Xiaolongnu according to the martial arts essentials of the "Nine Yin True Scripture", which are real martial arts moves, which are not only full of ornamentation, but also very practical. Many citizens who watched the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" even imitated the martial arts actions in the play.
Those who are interested in these novel martial arts designs are not only ordinary citizens, but also many martial arts practitioners in the film and television industry. Because they have vaguely realized that these martial arts design ideas are very advanced, and may bring an epoch-making major reform to the entire action movie market.
Whether it is from the audience's reaction, or from the media reports, whether it is from the ratings of TV stations, or from the evaluation of peers in the film and television industry, Tang Xiaosheng's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has undoubtedly succeeded.
On the tenth day after the TV series was broadcast, director Zhang Zhizong held a celebration banquet in the hotel near Jinghua Film and Television City in order to celebrate the gratifying results of the show.
At the celebration banquet, in addition to the main creators of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", many well-known people in the film and television industry attended, but the biggest focus of the audience was Tang Xiaosheng.
Because everyone knows that Tang Xiaosheng is not only the male protagonist of this TV series, but also the martial arts instructor of the show, and the commendable martial arts design in the play was designed by him.
Although in fact, these martial arts designs are designed by Xiaolongnu, but Xiaolongnu's identity is a rich girl, and if she suddenly moves the design, it is easy to attract speculation. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, from beginning to end, she did not expose the fact that she knew martial arts, and the outside world thought that the martial arts design was Tang Xiaosheng's credit.
At the banquet, Tang Xiaosheng also met martial arts director Wu Gang. Since that competition, the two have become friends for the rest of the year. Wu Gang introduced several well-known martial arts instructors in the film and television industry to Tang Xiaosheng, and they were very interested in Tang Xiaosheng's martial arts design.
The celebration banquet lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, and Tang Xiaosheng's trip was not in vain, not only out of the limelight, but also got to know many well-known celebrities in the film and television industry.
After the banquet, Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, and Guo Xiang returned to their residence in Jiayuan Community together.
When they opened the door and walked into the house, they were dumbfounded.
