Chapter 16: Changes in the City of Murphy
The twilight is vast and the yellow sand is quiet.
The hyena queen seems to have noticed that the piece of meat in front of her maybe, probably, maybe never change color, and it will not have that gluttonous fragrance.
So, she stood up and yelled at the Rocky Valley behind her.
Soon, the sound of response and sound came from all directions.
Hyenas are social animals, but most of the time, they live their own lives and have their own small area, except for predation.
At this moment, when they heard the queen's call, they immediately stopped passing on their ancestry, stopped watching the scenery, stopped napping, and ran towards the outside of the Rocky Valley.
Soon, a large herd of hyenas was once again surrounding their queen.
Hyena Queen pointed to the rut in the distance, which was almost completely gone, and her mouth emitted seven or eight tones of different heights.
A group of hyenas lowered their heads and looked at the ground, as if they did not very much agree with the queen's words, but they did not dare to refute it, so they could only lower their heads, looking like they were going to die.
The hyena queen looked at her minions' expressions, and was even more angry, pointing to the hunting dog colony, a pregnant female hyena's big belly barked loudly a few scales, and then pouted her buttocks, patted her buttocks vigorously, and pointed to her belly and said a few words.
Suddenly, hundreds of hyenas immediately had their eyes lit up, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their mouths were whimpering and whimpering, obviously recognizing their queen's words at this moment.
In the next second, the hyena queen waved her hand and ran away along the rut marks that had almost disappeared, and hundreds of hyenas roared behind her, rolling up a patch of yellow sand.
At this dusk, all the creatures in the vicinity of the Rocky Valley trembled with fear at this moment, and even a group of twenty or so jackals that had just passed by here were so frightened that they quickly turned around and fled away quickly after hearing the call of the hyenas.
Mosu City, the slum of the East Side.
Officer Lee Dong-sung walked down the street in the early morning.
Don't look at the sun just showing a Phnom Penh, but the streets in the east of the city are already full of people, and everyone is starting to fight for today's lunch.
Li Dongcheng looked up at the sky, it was obviously a cloudless sunny day, but he didn't know why, he always felt that the tone of the sky and the earth at this time was a little gloomy, and even he clearly remembered that all these changes started on that day.
That's right, it was after that beautiful woman appeared in Mosu City, and the color of heaven and earth became dim.
"Is it because she is so beautiful?
Li Dongcheng thought secretly, and couldn't help but think of the woman whose name was Meimei, at this moment, she should be sitting on the sofa at his house, looking out the window at the street.
It was an enigmatic woman, she couldn't remember anything but her own name, she didn't know her own surname, they even used a lie detector, and it turned out that beauty just forgot everything.
Such a woman who did not break the law was naturally not suitable for staying in the detention center, so Li Dongcheng temporarily settled her in his own home.
He believes that every male colleague wants to do this, but unfortunately, none of his colleagues have their own spacious housing.
In the east of the city, like Li Dongcheng, he can have a two-and-a-half-story villa that lives alone, which is a great thing, even if the villa is dilapidated, but it is still a villa.
"Here we are, here it is!"
Linna's slightly heroic voice woke Li Dongcheng up in his thoughts.
At this time, it was just over five o'clock in the morning, far from the time to go to work, and at this time, Li Dongcheng was able to get out of the tempting quilt and run to the street for only one reason, that is, there was a very serious murder in the east of the city.
In front of him is a two-and-a-half-story building with a layout very similar to Li Dongcheng's residence, and at the gate is the gatehouse of a bungalow.
Li Dongcheng led Lina in.
The yard is not big, but there are a lot of flowers and plants, and it can be seen that the owner here is very good at managing his own life.
Li Dongcheng only glanced at the flowers and plants and patterns in the yard, and said confidently:
"This is the home of a woman who lives alone, highly educated, and good-looking. ”
As he spoke, the two of them bypassed the flowers, followed the cobblestone path to the main entrance of the small building, and stepped in.
There were already police officers pulling out of the cordon, all wearing masks and gloves.
Li Dongcheng glanced at the eyes of the two young detectives and quietly lit a cigarette, because from the eyes of those two young people, he read the word disgusting.
This made him understand that the murder scene in this small building may not be much better than the slaughterhouse.
"Detective Li, you're here, do you know, there's ...... there"
Li Dongcheng waved his hand to stop the young detective from continuing.
This is his habit, and before entering the scene of the crime, he does not want to hear anyone describe the situation at the scene, which will affect the depth of his first impression of the scene.
When the young detective saw Li Dongcheng waving his hand, he immediately stopped talking, and these young people admired Li Dongcheng very much, because Li Dongcheng was the most famous detective in the entire Mosu City.
threw away the cigarette butt, Li Dongcheng tightened his jacket, but his belly was too big, and he still couldn't fasten the buttons of his suit.
He walked inside, and his eyes were bloodstained and unkempt, in stark contrast to the bright blooming flowers outside the door.
Lina did not turn a blind eye to blood and atrocities like Lee Dong-sung, she quickly put on her mask and followed Lee Dong-sung into the room, avoiding the half-congealed blood as much as possible.
"The head of the household's name is Tina, female, twenty-eight years old, a writer, from country M, who has been in Mosu City for three years, and is said to be for creative needs. ”
Under the mask, Linna's voice sounded muffled.
Li Dongcheng didn't seem to hear Linna speak, and his expression was even more relaxed, as if he was enjoying the scenery by the sea.
But everyone knows that this is the bloody scene left behind by extremely brutal atrocities.
Coming to the deceased, Li Dongcheng glanced at the almost inhuman-shaped body, and could only know that this woman's skin must be very white and delicate, and she was definitely a woman with a wonderful touch.
He didn't pay more attention to the body of the deceased, because the moment he entered the room, Li Dongcheng had already judged that this was a tragedy done by a very amateur killer, in other words, such a case could be solved today.
It's just that he is curious why a female author can arouse such a strong hatred of this killer.
Yes, only under hatred can such a beastly scene appear.
Scanning around, he saw the north wall facing south, and on the snow-white wall, there were several strange symbols written in blood.
For the people of Mosu City, it was a symbol, but for Li Dongcheng, he knew that it was words, very old hieroglyphs.
He was glad that his father came from the land of the ancient civilization, and that he had the opportunity to learn the language of the most ancient civilization.
"On earth as heaven!"
Li Dongcheng read out the four words on the wall and fell into deep thought.
These abrupt four words, according to the literal meaning, are on the earth as in the sky, representing a kind of meaning of the coming of God, and also the meaning of return.
"Who's coming back? Is it a psychotic crime again?"
Li Dongcheng threw this nonsense out of his mind, because before finding the murderer, all the conjectures may make his judgment of the future case unobjective, and Li Dongcheng does not allow this irrationality to appear.
He said to Lina:
"The murderer is a very amateur, and he can find countless fingerprints here, but I don't think it needs to be so troublesome, because there are surveillance cameras at the gate, and you ask the program team to directly retrieve the camera video inside, and you can naturally find the murderer.
I'll go back and catch up on my sleep first, and then I'll find the murderer's phone. ”
After speaking, Li Dongcheng had already walked out of the scene of the crime with a slow step.
The bloody and terrifying scene did not affect Li Dongcheng's mood in the slightest, he has seen a lot of such things, and all he can do is to give justice to the deceased.
He came to the street, found a stall selling oriental breakfast, bought a few beef buns, two fritters, and two bowls of coarse grain porridge, and then walked quickly towards home.
Such a breakfast had to be eaten hot to taste, so he had to hurry up, and let the delightful woman have a delicious breakfast, and he would be lucky enough to watch her eat, which was the greatest pleasure in the world......
