In the early morning, when the star called the Sun slowly rises from the sea level, bringing light and heat back to the earth, the people of New York City start a new day.

Of course, it was an irritating day for the police officers who were responsible for policing the slums.

Because every morning, they get a lot of phone calls, some of which are robbery or burglary, others are sexual assaults that happen all the time, and more serious are shootings and homicides.

In short, anything can happen in a region rife with poverty, violence and crime.

Many experienced police detectives have even developed the habit of skipping breakfast, so as not to see some shocking restrictive pictures when the time comes, and they can't help but vomit.

Don't think it's a joke, due to the extremely depressing relationship of life, many residents have a terrifying beast hidden in their hearts, and with a small inducement, they will immediately turn into a perverted murderer.

As usual, Clive nibbled on a hot dog from a roadside stall as he pushed open the door and walked into the police station, waving at his partner and greeting, "Good morning, Elena." How's it going, where are we going this morning?"

As a veteran police detective who has been working for more than ten years, he has long seen all kinds of tragic crime scenes, and his nerves have become far tougher than ordinary people, even in the face of dissected corpses, he can still eat without changing his face.

"Damn! sometimes I envy your good appetite. Here's a case sent by the director, look at it, it makes me not even want to eat lunch. As she spoke, a lean woman in her early thirties threw the documents on the table.

"New case, aren't there already six murders on our hands that haven't been resolved?" Clive frowned, shoved the hot dog into his mouth in two bites, and opened the folder to flip through it quickly.

In just a few seconds, he was stunned by the horrific images and couldn't help but cry out: "Oh God! This is crazy! Could it be that there is a madman in our jurisdiction? Are there any eyewitnesses? What does the medical examiner say?"

The woman named Elena shook her head and replied, "No eyewitnesses have been found yet, and as for the results given by the forensic doctor, the three bodies belonged to two young white men and a young white woman, both between the ages of sixteen and twenty, the latter died of suffocation caused by the live bite of his trachea, and the former had severe burns and frostbite marks, but the cause of death was piercing the heart with a sharp object." In addition, our medical examiner also found the musculature of the female victim from the gap between the teeth of two men. ”

"What do you mean...... Two male deceased men bit female victims to death, and then were killed by another pervert?" Clive asked, dumbfounded.

"Shet! Don't ask me! How do I know the answer! Anyway, according to the results of the forensic examination of the wound, it is definitely not a human who bites the throat of the female deceased, but some kind of large canine. Elena rolled her eyes angrily.

Clive sighed helplessly: "Alas, well, this case is really getting more and more bizarre, why don't we go to the crime scene to investigate first?"

Just as Elena was about to say something, a police officer with a printout of the photo hurried over and shouted, "Hey, guys, guess what I found in the surveillance footage nearby?"

"Stop talking nonsense!!" Clive couldn't help but say, and directly grabbed the printed photo, and found that there were two very blurry black shadows on it, chasing a young Asian American.

Because the light is too dark and the distance is a bit far, it is impossible to clearly identify the appearance and physical characteristics, and can only roughly judge the height and dress.

"This picture is blurry, can't you tech make it clearer?" complained Elena, rather dissatisfied.

"This has already been processed, and the initial picture, not to mention the clothes, even the figure can't be seen clearly. The officer explained innocently.

"Forget it, compared to having no clue before, we now at least know that there is a living witness, don't we? Let's go, let's go to the vicinity of the crime scene and inquire, anyway, there are definitely not too many who meet the two conditions of midnight work and young Asian, and we can find him out with a little screening." ”

The experienced Clive found a breakthrough from a blurry photo at once.

At his suggestion, the two quickly drove the police car and began to inquire around the street, and in just two or three hours, they locked on to the target.

This target was none other than Zhang Cheng, who was still lying on the bed and asleep, and he didn't even realize that a big trouble had come to the door.

Bang! Bang!

With the sound of slamming the door hard, Zhang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

Out of a habit he had only recently developed, he didn't immediately ask out loud, let alone unlock the door, but carefully observed the movement outside through the peephole.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

Although Elena and Clive are wearing civilian clothes, the gun holsters bulging around their waists and the cooperative attitude of the apartment administrator are enough to prove their identities from the side - the police!

"Oh - that's not good!"

The corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth twitched and muttered, then he turned around and stuffed all the luggage in the corner of the wall into the wardrobe at an extremely fast speed.

After all, once the police break down the door, his troubles are not only as simple as being involved in a murder case, but also include black households, hiding a large number of gold and jewelry of unknown origin, and so on.

After all this was done, he took a deep breath, pretended not to wake up, and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

"Hello sir, we are detectives with the NYPD and would like you to answer a few questions. Elena was straightforward about who she was.

"Police, what's wrong?" Zhang Cheng opened the door in surprise.

"Last night, there was a homicide in the alley about three hundred meters away from the apartment, and we hope that you can cooperate with the investigation and find the murderer as soon as possible. ”

Clive said as he looked the young man up and down in front of him, contrasting it with the blurred picture in his mind, and immediately determined that this was the witness he was looking for.

However, he did not immediately puncture Zhang Cheng's performance, but exchanged a look with his partner.

Elena understood, took out the pen and paper she had brought with her, and asked expressionlessly: "Now please answer, where did you ...... around twelve o'clock at midnight yesterday?"
