Chapter 7: Who I Am
To get to Yiwu Airport, you need to transfer in Beijing, this time period, the criminal art has collected about the Interpol of the one named Hiss. Crow read through the information, but he was most interested in the three murders for which the Bureau of Investigation was responsible.
Torture believed if Hiss. Crow is really the Twilight Bridge, then he will definitely leave clues in the modus operandi of the crime, even if the slightest clue can be linked to the current Twilight Bridge, it can be completely affirmed that these two people are the same person.
Because even Interpol and the Bureau of Investigation are now only speculating, and they are not 100% sure of the identities of these two people.
"The first case, in San Francisco's Chinatown, is supposed to have happened when Crowe was 16 years old, when a family of five was killed, the youngest was no more than 7 years old, and they were killed by fruit knives, kitchen knives, screwdrivers, towels and pillows." After arriving at the transfer station, in the corner of the waiting hall, Lian Jiuqi and Ma Fei analyzed the torture technique, "The person killed by the fruit knife was stabbed to death, stabbed to the heart, the kitchen knife slashed the back of the head, the screwdriver stabbed the carotid artery, the towel was used to strangle the eldest daughter of the parent, and the pillow was used to suffocate the youngest child." ”
Ma Fei looked at the photos taken at the scene on the tablet: "The person who was killed by a sharp weapon had only one wound, and the killer knew the composition of the human body very well, and he considered what kind of murder weapon to use before he started, and even where to start, all of them were calculated carefully, so there were no traces of struggle and fighting at the scene, and the five people also died in their respective areas......"
The homicide happened after lunch, during the lunch break, the elderly grandfather was killed while watching TV in the living room, and was stabbed in the heart from behind with a fruit knife; The mother was killed in the kitchen, slashed in the back of the head with a kitchen knife; The father was repairing a machine in the storage room when he was stabbed in the carotid artery with a screwdriver; The eldest daughter was in the bathroom and was strangled with a towel; The young son was taking a nap and was suffocated by the pillow.
From the situation at the scene, it can be inferred that the killer has observed the family for a long time, or someone has provided the family's living habits, so he chose to do it after lunch and assassinate them one by one, leaving no traces, not even making too much noise.
Lian Jiuqi analyzed: "His main goal should be to kill his mother, because relatively speaking, the way other people are killed is more pleasant, but the mother is chopped with a knife, so the mother should be the main person that the Cusco company wants to get rid of." ”
Ma Fei asked: "Mr. Lian, you have been in the Cusco company for so long, do you know these things?" ”
"I don't know much, the people in Cusco are all doing their own duties, no one can meddle in other things, once they find out, no matter who they are, they will be killed." Lian Jiuqi frowned and said, "I can be responsible for surveying and searching, but I know that there is a team responsible for cleaning up, and the leader of the group is called Marcus, but very few people know who the members of this team are and what Marcus looks like." ”
Torture looked at the passing travelers in the distance: "The second case is in New Jersey, a small town by the sea, the victim is a family of three, the son is 12 years old, first poisoned and died at school, the parents learned the news on the way to school, there was a car accident, and it was later confirmed that the car was passive hands and feet, but after the autopsy, a low concentration of neurotoxin was found in the parents' hearts, in other words, at the same time as the car went wrong, the couple also died of heart paralysis, compared to the first case, it is not so bloody." ”
Ma Fei looked at the tablet: "I can't see who is the real target of Cusco in this case." ”
Lian Jiuqi shook his head and said: "It's not important anymore, the important thing is that the Cusco company has always cut the grass and eradicated the roots to prevent future troubles." ”
"Nope." Torture shook his head dumbly, "It can be seen from this case that this killer has relented. ”
"Soft-hearted?" Ma Fei was stunned, "It's still soft-hearted to kill the whole family." ”
Lian Jiuqi said: "The meaning of torture is that the killer's methods are soft-hearted, not so cruel, basically based on the use of poison, the car accident is just an insurance measure, before the car accident, the two of them had heart paralysis, it is easier than dying in a car accident, and it is simply a car accident, and the two still have a little chance to survive." ”
"That's right, that's it, the third case, the last one, is a priest, the pastor adopted five children, in this case, the person who died was a priest, none of the children were killed, none of the injuries were made, in this case the priest died a strange death, he was wounded first, in the thigh, two thighs, each was hit by bullets......"
Maffei looked carefully at the photo and saw that the place where the priest died was at the door of the church, quietly at the door, presumably the moment the pastor walked out of the church, he was hit in both legs by bullets, collapsed to the ground, and then received another shot in the head.
Ma Fei was puzzled: "Why do you have to hit your legs first and then your head?" ”
"The priest committed suicide. ”
Ma Fei was stunned for a moment, but even Jiuqi nodded in agreement, and Ma Fei quickly figured it out: "You mean, based on the second case, the killer is already very soft-hearted, but he can't disobey the organization's orders, so he just hit the priest in the legs, so that he can't escape, and then let him do it himself?" ”
"Yes, although this is only superfluous, but in fact, the reason why the killer wants to use this method is completely self-consolation and self-deception, deceiving that in the end the priest was not killed by himself, but he committed suicide, and those children were not killed. ”
Lian Jiuqi said: "Well, there are only these three cases, and other than that, this person has not appeared near any scene and has been filmed." ”
"Wait," Ma Fei raised his head and looked at the two of them, "Don't you think that this person was photographed near the scene on purpose?" ”
Torture said: "That's right, I think so too, because this kind of person with skills and thinking can't make such a low-level mistake when he was photographed by surveillance at the scene, so he did it on purpose, that is, from the first time, this killer had remorse, and he was deliberately photographed by the surveillance, I think, in order to force the organization to no longer let him, a person who left his figure and true face, to carry out similar assassination operations." ”
Lian Jiuqi was silent, but Ma Fei asked, "Torture, from the three cases, can you link him with Mo Dusk Bridge?" In my opinion, there is no connection. ”
"It was the slightest connection that made me believe that this person was Mo Dusk Bridge. ”
"Why?" Maffei immediately asked.
"Master said, the characteristic of this person is that when he wants to be, he is who, and he doesn't seem to be repeating things at all, and the same is true of those three cases, if there is no surveillance footage, and no one knows that the background of these people is related to the Cusco company, then, no matter how smart a person is, he can't connect the three homicides that happened in three different locations in the United States, in addition, before we set off, what kind of person was Mo Dusk Bridge?" You should know that at that time, he was extremely calm, that kind of calmness, I guess I can't reach it in this life, but after arriving in Mongolia, Mo Dusk Bridge has changed, he and the previous are completely two people, I think, this is his character and the habits that have been cultivated in the past, this kind of thing can't be changed in a lifetime. ”
Lian Jiuqi thought for a while before he said, "You want to tell us that the master didn't believe him wrong?" ”
The torture technique also thought for a long time, and shook his head: "I don't know, but I believe in the master's vision, but I really can't see through the person of Mo Duqiao, if this person is a cargo chaser, then he must be the most powerful cargo chaser in the world." ”
……
"If you're a cargo chaser, you're supposed to be the best one in the world." After Qian Xiuye took the thousand-year-old black incense bowl from Mo Duqiao's hand, he put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, but he never looked at Mo Dui Bridge standing on one side, standing with his head bowed and expressionless.
Fan Meng, who was standing beside Qian Xiuye, carefully observed the Mo Dui Bridge, from the top of his head to the tip of his toes, every detail Fan Meng did not let go, and he came to the conclusion that how could this person be the kind of person Qian Xiuye said?
Qian Xiuye put the bowl in place, sat down and said: "Zheng Cangqiong completely lost this time, he lost very completely, it can be said that because of him, you will appear by my side, but because of you, he lost so completely!" I didn't misread you, and I apologize to you for misunderstanding you. ”
Mo Duqiao said lightly: "Master's misunderstanding is also Master's teaching. ”
Qian Xiuye just smiled: "You go and rest, you are too tired, you need to rest." ”
"Thank you, Master." After thanking him, he turned and strode out of the room.
After the door of the room was closed again, Fan Meng immediately asked, "Master, why didn't you ask him what the secret of Helian's family was?" ”
"Mo Dusk Bridge is like a glass container with secrets, as long as the container is not broken, the secret will always be in his body, so what we need now is to hold him carefully, wait for the glass bottle that came back from the cold place to adapt to the normal temperature, and then slowly pour out the secret we want, and then ......" Qian Xiuye said this, picked up the boiling kettle next to him, and poured a cup of boiling water into the glass with ice cubes next to him, and the glass exploded in an instant, shattering all over the ground.
Fan Meng understood: "I understand, now I have to hold him." ”
"Yes, in terms of seniority, no matter what he says, he is your senior brother." Qian Xiuye opened the box again and took out the thousand-year-old black incense bowl, "So, you must respect him, hold him, and besides, you must not know anything about him, Fan Meng, don't be angry, whether it is fighting wits or martial arts, you are not the opponent of Moduqiao, if you want to deal with him, the end will be very miserable, because he is a monster that I have carefully trained and raised, and the whole world is just such a one, both precious and terrifying!" ”
Fan Meng nodded in understanding, and subconsciously looked at the wall next to him, because on the other side of that wall was the room where Mo Dui Bridge lived.
In the room, Mo Duqiao was listening to the song and wandering in private, while searching the room for eavesdropping surveillance devices, and after making sure that there were no such things, Mo Duqiao took out his camera, video camera, telescope and other items from his bag, dismantled them one by one, took out some of the "superfluous" accessories from them, and pieced together a surveillance device that he deliberately disassembled.
Ink Twilight Bridge hung the device in the corner of the edge of the curtain, opened it and connected it to the public IPI, and after adjusting everything, from the age of 12, he learned to monitor and counter-monitor in various environments, and also learned to absolutely control his emotions, even if he was happy and angry, he was deliberately shown to others, and his inner thoughts would be completely hidden.
"Who are you? Answer me! Who are you? ”
Sitting in the corner, the voice of the "teacher" who taught himself to kill, the Australian Aborigine, echoed in his ears.
He will always remember that evening, when he was dragged by his teacher in the desert and tied to a cactus, before which he had not eaten for three days and had only drunk a small amount of life-sustaining water.
His body was covered with cactus thorns, but he didn't dare to struggle, and once he struggled, the pain became even worse, and at the same time, the three leather bands that bound his body gradually tightened due to the loss of water, making him almost out of breath.
"My name is Thomas. Hunter, I'm the youngest son of the Hunter family, I go to a private school, and my teacher's name is Johnson...... "Murray Bridge struggles to make up lies, this is what he must learn, even if he is on the verge of death, when he is tortured, he can't tell the truth, he has to finish the lie in his heart that has been made up a long time ago, maybe seamlessly."
The teacher stepped forward and grabbed Mo Duqiao's chin: "You lie, the Hunter family doesn't have a little son at all!" ”
"I'm not lying, it's true." Mo Duqiao's tears dripped down, as if it was habit, and it seemed to be out of nature, "Sir, I beg you, call my dad, he will pay the ransom, really, please, let me go, I can't stand it anymore, please." ”
Next, the teacher began to whip the bridge with a belt, and for half an hour, after half an hour, there was no part of the bridge left intact.
However, the teacher turned and drove away from the desert, and only after another day and a night did he come back to rescue him, but when he returned, he had already managed to break the cactus and lay in ambush beside him, cutting the teacher's throat with a sharpened stone.
It was also a compulsory course for him, and before he was 16 years old, he called 5 teachers, each of whom was teaching him all his lessons, and happily told him that after graduation, he would kill the teacher with a smile on his face and bow deeply to the corpse.
And every time he did this kind of thing, Qian Xiuye would personally "cleanse his soul" for him and instill in him the "benefits" of doing these things, but every time, Qian Xiuye would ask him the same question: "Who are you?" ”
Gradually, Mo Duqiao has forgotten who he is, he thinks that it doesn't matter who he is, he has no goal, no hope, nothing to be nostalgic about, so he can kill without hesitation, and he doesn't feel guilty after killing.
A person who doesn't even know who he is and why he is alive, what else would he not dare to do?
This is what Qian Xiuye wants to achieve, what he wants is a killer who is absolutely loyal, will never be soft, and will remain calm at all times.
"Who am I?" Murwilight stood in front of the bathroom mirror, looking at his own face, he forgot what his face looked like before, he took off his shirt, looked at the muscles on his body, and touched the lines of his muscles with his hands, as if there was an answer hidden here.
The face was not real, but the body was, the soul in the body was, but it had been hidden many years ago.
No, there is still a way to find out, there is someone who can help himself.
Thinking of this, Mo Duqiao got dressed, turned around and went out, knocking on Qian Xiuye's door next door.
When Mo Duqiao said his thoughts, Qian Xiuye raised his head, half-squinted his eyes, and asked, "Why?" Why are you so desperate to kill Zheng Cangqiong? ”
"I wavered." "I've been by his side for many years, and I've been blessed by him, and my will has wavered, and if I don't kill him, I'm afraid I'll betray you one day, and of course, if you think it's against your plans, you'll kill me now." ”
Qian Xiuye sneered: "You think I won't." ”
Qian Xiuye said, took out a dagger from the side, and stabbed it directly into the shoulder of Mo Dusk Bridge.
This move surprised and startled Fan Meng, but at the same time, he also found that Mo Duqiao did not dodge, did not fight back, and did not even show the slightest expression of pain.
When the blood oozed out, Qian Xiuye's eyes kept following, watching the blood flow out of the wound, then gather into a point, and then drip to the ground, in the process, Mo Duqiao always bowed his head slightly and knelt in front of him.
Qian Xiuye waved his hand and asked Fan Meng to come over with the first aid kit, pulled out the dagger, and began to stop the bleeding for the Modui Bridge.
At this time, Qian Xiuye was like a kind father, treating Mo Duqiao's wounds, and at the same time said: "You can honestly tell me what you really think in your heart, which is very good, which shows that you are still loyal to me." However, since you want to do it, you must do it well, you can't miss it, Zheng Cangqiong must die! ”
Ink Twilight replied calmly, "I won't miss it." ”
Qian Xiuye raised his eyes and smiled at Mo Duqiao, stitched up the wound with stitches and threads, and waited for the medicine to be bandaged, then said, "When are you going to do it?" ”
"Listen to Master, I know all the hiding places he has, and the most likely place for him to hide now is in the basement of the Youfu Hospital, which is where the torture arts live on weekdays." Mo Duqiao looked into Qian Xiuye's eyes and said, "If Master agrees, I can do it tonight, ensuring that it is clean and leaves no traces." ”
Qian Xiuye stretched out his hand and stroked Mo Duqiao's wound: "Of course, you have to hurry up and theorize, but you can't leave traces, do you know what I mean?" ”
Mo Duqiao shook his head slightly: "Master, the apprentice doesn't understand, if the news of Zheng Cangqiong's death spreads, won't it ruin your plan?" Although his death will make the torturers and others hurry up to find Qimen, it will make the other cargo chasers fearful, and maybe the rest of the people will hide incognito, and they will not be able to catch them all. ”
Qian Xiuye glanced at Fan Meng, Fan Meng understood, and looked at Mo Duqiao: "Senior brother, what Master means is that although Zheng Cangqiong's death is like adding fuel to the fire, it can also produce a stronger chemical effect in a short period of time, because for other cargo chasers, Zheng Cangqiong is also a fierce enemy, and one less fierce opponent will make their desire to find Qimen stronger in their hearts." ”
Qian Xiuye nodded after listening: "Dusk Bridge, don't do it tonight, wait for tomorrow night, you and your junior brother plan well." ”
Mo Duqiao raised his eyes and looked at Qian Xiuye: "Master, I have always been alone, and you let my junior brother follow me, because you don't trust me 100%, so you need to send him to spy on me." ”
Qian Xiuye smiled: "Yes, so, don't live up to my expectations." ”
After speaking, Qian Xiuye looked at Fan Meng again: "Fan Meng, you, no problem, right?" ”
Fan Mengbi said respectfully: "Yes." ”
Qian Xiuye beckoned the two of them to him, raised his hand and pressed them on their shoulders respectively: "As long as you succeed tomorrow night, the history of the cargo chaser will be completely rewritten, and after a while, there will be no more such profession in the world, these greedy beasts should have been buried by the dust of history a long time ago." ”
