119, stagnant water
16:01。
Cafe near the psychological counseling clinic.
Dewey and Officer Tom sat in the corner, by the window.
On the table in front of the two of them, there were three photos of the corpses.
The photos were taken in different locations, including garbage heaps, corridors, and homes.
The same is that each corpse is Asian, and the appearance is somewhat similar to Du Wei.
"The place where the body was found, first at the junction of North Brook and Aurora, and then, like an arrow, stretched all the way to the location of your home, Mr. Du Wei, I think this matter may be directed at you."
"Also, look at this."
Tom looked at Du Wei, who was sitting across from him, with a blank face, took out his mobile phone again, opened the surveillance video saved inside, and handed it to him.
Du Wei took the phone, and his eyes were attracted by the surveillance video.
The surveillance video is in black and white, because the lighting is a little blurry, and the location is in the hallway.
First, an Asian man appeared in the hallway and smoked against the wall, one after the other.
His appearance is indeed a bit like Du Wei, but his height is a little different, and his temperament is also very decadent, which is not a type at all.
After thinking about it, Du Wei squinted his eyes and slowed up the progress of the video.
Soon, I saw a tall man in a raincoat holding a sharp knife and walking into the corridor step by step.
His steps were strange, not like the posture of a normal person walking, or a person with inconvenient legs and feet, more mechanical stiffness.
Because of the angle, Du Wei couldn't see the man's face, and could only see that when he appeared, the Asian who looked like himself was instantly startled.
That helpless, frightened face, as if he had seen a ghost.
The cigarette in the Asian man's hand fell to the ground and ran backwards.
But then, the man with the knife slammed forward.
The sharp knife pierced the chest directly from the back of the Asian American, and the blood flowed all over the ground in an instant.
Immediately afterward, the man walked up to the Asian who was lying on the ground, his hands and feet were shaking, and his neck was stiff, and he pulled out a knife and put it on his chin, and wiped it gently.
Blood gushed out instantly, but in the black and white picture, only a large amount of liquid could be seen overflowing, gradually spreading on the ground, down the stairs of the stairs, slowly spreading down.
Then, the tall man in a raincoat walked out.
At this time, the video progress bar was already at the end, and Du Wei was changing his phone to Tom, but at this moment, the surveillance video suddenly played automatically.
But this time, it's like playing it backwards......
The man in the raincoat stepped back and step by step back under the surveillance camera and jerked his head up.
In an instant, a scrawny face with eyes plucked out and a six-pointed star pattern appeared on the screen.
Is this thing an evil spirit? But it seems to have something to do with the Vidats......
Du Wei thought secretly in his heart, but his eyes were calm and scary, as if he hadn't seen it at all.
While blocking the screen with his hand, he asked Tom, "Is there a face at the end of this video?" ”
Tom looked at him in surprise: "No, didn't the murderer leave at the end of the video?" ”
Du Wei nodded and said in a low voice, "This has something to do with those cultists, they seem to have made something that looks like an evil spirit and want to kill me." ”
Tom frowned, "Because of what?" ”
Du Wei shook his head and said, "The specific reason is not clear, but this thing should have been eyeing me now, and it is estimated that it will come to me tonight." ”
"What?"
Tom's face changed, and he immediately said, "I will send someone to protect you, these damned cultists, they should be sent to hell." ”
Du Wei looked at Tom and said lightly: "No need, this kind of thing can't be solved by ordinary people, I will handle it myself, if you really want to help me, you should put the finishing touches on it after the matter is over." ”
Tom said in a tangled voice, "Are you sure you can handle it?" This thing seems to be a physical entity? ”
Du Wei smiled faintly: "Of course you can." ”
As he said this, his heart was indifferent, these cultists were like rats hiding in dark sewers, they liked to jump up and down, disgusting, and paranoid and scary.
If he could, he was going to surprise them this time.
Seeing Du Wei's insistence, Tom had no choice but to say helplessly: "Okay, leave professional things to professional people, you are an exorcist, then I don't care about this matter." ”
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and said again: "By the way, a rich man named Alex called the police and told me about your disappearance, and some of my subordinates told me that you seem to have gone to Hill Mental Hospital?" ”
Du Wei snorted and said, "Yes, there was an evil spirit incident there, I went with the exorcist of the church, and it has been solved now." ”
Tom said with a strange face, "Well, your solution is really violent, half of that psychiatric hospital was burned down by the fire, the director's head was screwed off, and he has not been found until now, and he died exactly like those cultists." ”
"Also, there's a psycho named Ryan missing."
Hearing this, Du Wei frowned, he thought for a while and said, "I probably know, are you investigating Ryan's traces?" ”
Tom sighed, "Of course there is, and I got some news from a mentally ill person." ”
"He said that a group of people had entered his mansion without consent, and that the mansion belonged to his most beloved woman or something, and had taken Ryan's ......"
Du Wei had a little headache, although Ryan had nothing to do with him and was still a mentally ill person, he still helped him in the end.
But right now, this person doesn't know whether he lives or dies.
He closed his eyes and thought calmly.
Those people must have appeared after he and James and the others left, otherwise Father Tony would have let him know on the phone.
In other words, there is a group of people who have been following what is happening in the psychiatric hospital.
Is it Vidah...... Or is it something else?
With insufficient information, Du Wei could not infer much useful information.
Maybe Father Tony knew something, but he couldn't go to church right now, and he didn't want to contact Father Tony.
Because the evil spirit has not stabilized, it may appear in front of the person to be exposed.
If Father Tony finds out that he is a hunter who can turn into evil spirits, according to the attitude of the church, it is estimated that he will not be open to him, an "excellent" exorcist.
"Let's do it first......"
He stood up and spoke calmly to Tom.
Tom shrugged his shoulders and said, "So...... I'll let you know when there's news, when will you solve that evil spirit's thing? I guess I'm going to the red light district to go to the police today, and it's probably a little empty at night. ”
Du Wei asked in surprise: "Are you sure you are going to the red light district to go to the police?" And not to do something else? ”
Tom touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "How can I do anything else, as a police officer in New York, I have an obligation to fight against the bad atmosphere there, and there are too many cases recently, and I need to take some action to divert the public's attention." ”
"Actually, I don't want to go in person, but lately, when I get off work every day, my beautiful neighbor will look at me affectionately from the window on the third floor, and I really want to have something with her, so the red light district is not very attractive to me."
Du Wei didn't know what to say, so he nodded and said, "I'll probably fix that thing at night, and I'll call you when the time comes." ”
