Chapter 163: Crimson and Burning

The safe house arrived quickly.

Lu Wen looked around through the car window, there were many suitable places to lurk.

Some hidden cameras, even he almost didn't notice it.

Since the original car was an Executive Board vehicle, it was replaced by a new one along the way.

Lu Wen parked the vehicle on the side of the road, walked down and said: "In fact, there is a high probability that the murderer knows the movements of the Executive Directorate, and no matter how much disguise he makes, he will still come." ”

"I'm just waiting for him to come."

Wei Boan grabbed Jiang Yun's collar, got out of the car, and closed the door.

This is the first time they have taken the lead since the case, the murderer left clues at the doctor's house, and before they could do it, the two of them took the lead to find the next target.

This was a relatively small success.

Wei Bo'an took Jiang Yun to the door of the safe house.

Stretching out his hand, he was just about to open the door when Lu Wen suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, I'll open the door!"

Wei Bo'an was stunned for a moment, and then retracted his hand.

He understood what Lu Wen meant.

Most people who have a military background know how to set up simple traps, such as trigger-type traps, and many traps choose doorways.

The moment you open the door, there is a good chance that you will be greeted by a bullet.

Lu Wen walked in front of the two of them.

He took the key from Wei Boan.

"Click."

The key was twisted and the door opened.

Lu Wen slowly opened the door.

Safe.

Nothing else happened.

"There was no dust when you opened the door, do you often send someone to clean the safe house?" Lu Wen asked.

"Yes, it will be cleaned once a month or so."

Wei Bo'an's words dispelled Lu Wen's worries.

It seems that the murderer did not come.

The three of them entered the house one after another.

A lot of the furniture was covered with white plastic sheeting, which reminded Lu Wen of Li Meng's home.

"Two chiefs, I'm quite dirty, I want to take a shower, is there hot water here?" Jiang Yun asked.

"Wait, I'll take a look."

Wei Bo'an did not look at the hot water, but the location of the bathroom.

"There are no windows, and there is no sign of the ceiling being opened, safe, you go and wash it."

Hot water is definitely available, after all, a safe house can be used as a long-term residence.

The two sat on the couch.

The position of the sofa and the window have an angle, and if there are snipers outside, it is difficult to shoot from this angle.

Wei Bo'an boiled some water, took out a bag of tea, and said, "Do you want to have some, the tea can calm down." ”

Lu Wen waved his hand, "Forget it, I can't drink it again." ”

The hot water in the glass of green tea leaves rises and falls, and the water vapor curls.

"Just wait for the murderer here, the person I arranged is already in place, if he really dares to come, it will be self-defeating." Wei Boan said lightly as he blew on the tea.

"There is also another possibility that the killer will skip the fourth target and go straight to the next target."

Neither of them was too worried, though.

The people who were currently involved in that case twelve years ago are dead.

The remaining one was protected by them.

As for the next goal......

can only be the real murderer of the year.

"If the murderer can help us find out the real murderer back then, it will save a lot of effort." Lu Wen leaned back on the sofa and went through all the details of this case.

It seems to be coming to an end.

If the murderer's target is really only the people involved in the original case, then the matter is nearing its end.

Actually, there are many more.

The judge who pronounced the verdict at the beginning, the rest of the witnesses who appeared in court, friends of both sides, etc., but those people Wei Boan have all called someone to investigate, and the current information has been passed on one after another.

Judging from the information that has arrived, there is no problem with those people.

The murderer will only kill the person who was guilty of the crime that led to death.

The two sat on the couch and waited.

Minutes and seconds passed.

There was a steady stream of news coming from the outside world.

"The colleagues in the 12th district have not yet found the source of those medicines, and there are not many valuable clues left at the scene of the crime, so to speak, no, several Internet geniuses in our district are all in full firepower, and they are inquiring about the personnel information of the relevant cases back then, and there is no ...... yet."

"Wait." Lu Wen suddenly stood up from the sofa.

"What's wrong?" Wei Boan looked at him.

"How long has Jiang Yun been taking a bath?"

The sound of water in the bathroom still doesn't stop.

But these sounds are regular and haven't changed for a long time.

Lu Wen had been listening to the sound of water while thinking about the problem, and the changes that had not occurred for a long time made him suspicious.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

He knocked on the door.

No one responded.

"Bang!"

Lu Wen kicked the door open.

……

More than ten minutes later.

Jiang Yun's body was transported.

He's dead.

Hanged himself in the bathroom.

Step on the toilet, tie your belt to the highest showerhead, and stick your head in.

The thin man swayed gently in the sound of the water.

I don't know what he was thinking before he died.

Whether it is true remorse.

Or just because you feel powerless in life, you choose to end your life.

"The fourth goal."

Lu Wen stood at the door of the safe house, looking at the corpse transport vehicle in the distance.

Didn't wait for the murderer to do it.

Perhaps everything has long been in the calculation of the murderer.

The analysis of human nature, the control of time, everything is so appropriate.

"This is the discipline who was in charge of guarding Jiang Yun at the time."

Wei Bo'an introduced a person to Lu Wen.

In the more than six years that Jiang Yun has been imprisoned for negligent death, he has been in charge of guarding him, and he also helped to handle the final release procedures.

"Jiang Yun looked fine when he was released from prison, and I gave him 1,000 yuan as travel expenses and told him to live a good life in the future."

According to the correctional officer, Jiang Yun's mental condition in prison was not bad.

Far from what it is today.

"I don't know what he's been through in the past six months."

The words of discipline caused Lu Wen to think.

It looked good when he got out of prison.

And this half a year...... He completely lost the idea of living, like a walking corpse, waiting for the verdict of death every day.

Jiang Yun said it before.

For half a year after he was released from prison, he often dreamed of the couple and the two children.

Maybe it wasn't a dream!

Since the murderer knows how to configure potions, there is a high probability that he will configure some hallucinogenic psychotropic drugs.

"Let's go, Jiang Yun's room, we may have missed something just now!"

The two said goodbye to discipline and returned to the car.

For a short time before, they thought they were in front of the murderer.

But in the end, it was in vain.

"Since the murderer will kill them one by one, what's the use of leaving clues for us?" Wei Boan was puzzled.

"It's hard to say......"

More than ten minutes later, the two returned to the humble rental house.

Everything is turned upside down.

Eventually, a book of poems and a diary were found.

And...... A dagger.

"The diary was written by Jiang Yun one after another in the past six months, recording what he saw in his dreams."

Lu Wen flipped through the old diary.

The handwriting is very bad, and some of them are still replaced by pinyin.

But through the description in the diary, Lu Wen can see Jiang Yun's psychological changes in the past six months.

In the beginning.

Jiang Yun would burn paper for the two children and the woman he had framed for perjury and had gone to prison.

But those dreams lingered.

Later, even in broad daylight, he could see those people coming back to him.

Tell him to go down.

that he may make atonement for his sins.

Jiang Yun's psychology slowly collapsed over time.

In his latest notes, he had suicidal thoughts.

"The autopsy will then be carried out to see if there are traces of drugs in Jiang Yun's body." Wei Boan said.

"There is a high probability that there will be." Lu Wen put down the diary in his hand, "The poetry collection and the dagger are the two clues left by the murderer, and this poetry collection is...... It's still Pushkin's, it's the torn out part of the book of poems in the house of the first deceased. ”

Open a book of poems.

The first poem was "The Prisoner".

"The clue given by the murderer is often the name of the poem, and the prisoner means ......" Lu Wen frowned, "Could it be that the next target is in prison?" ”

He turned his head to look at another clue left by the killer.

The dagger.

Judging by the size, it is likely that this dagger left those non-fatal wounds on the first and second deceased.

"It's a murder weapon."

Lu Wen thought of the case twelve years ago, when her husband was also stabbed in the chest with a dagger.

"We didn't guess wrong, the murderer's next target is the real murderer of the case back then, and now that person is likely to have committed a crime and is still serving his sentence in prison."

"There are a lot of prisons in the 10th arrondissement."

Wei Bo'an sent a document to Lu Wen.

Large and small, all kinds of prisons, dealing with different levels of criminals.

The prisons in the 13th arrondissement are also structured in this hierarchical manner.

Jiang Xiaonian was imprisoned at the highest level.

"Materials, send me a copy of the information of all the criminals who have been imprisoned in the 10th district in the past 12 years and are still serving their sentences in prison, and I will screen them out as soon as possible."

"Okay, wait a minute."

The advantage of androids, sifting through information is quite fast.

If it's just filtering with specific criteria, it's a matter of seconds.

But this time there were no specific conditions, Lu Wen could only come little by little and choose the person he felt was most likely to be the murderer of the case at the beginning.

"Pull all the trusted android executives into the same group, I'm too slow to screen alone." Lu Wen said.

"It's done, send a copy to each of them, you say."

Wei Bo'an also sent a copy of the information he got about the criminals to Lu Wen.

Lu Wen began to send messages in the group.

"We want to find the real culprit in that case twelve years ago, and meet the following conditions."

"He has violent tendencies, has been imprisoned many times, will clash with corrections and other criminals in prison, has a low education, has no stable job, most of the work is manual labor, and his body is stronger than ordinary people......"

Lu Wen had never seen the real murderer twelve years ago.

There is also no information that tells him about the character of that person.

He could only slowly form a human image in his mind based on the clues he got in the past few days.

"He has a strong dependence on alcohol, and may also have certain psychological problems, often need to vent, will go to bars and nightclubs and other places, and play until the early hours of the morning, and several of his prison experiences may be conflicts with people in bars......"

With Lu Wen's description.

The android executives from all over the 10th Sector also began to process the information quickly.

There are not many people who are eligible.

According to the final personnel files, the people were divided into many groups and investigated one by one.

Until dusk.

This rare sunny day in Mou is coming to an end.

"A lot of people have been investigated, and there are currently two people who are more suspicious, they happened to have drunk in a bar near the area where the crime occurred in the early morning of 12 years ago."

"But both of them said that they didn't do that, and we will continue to interrogate them in the future, and there are still a large number of eligible criminals who have not been identified."

Wei Boan looked quite energetic.

The people who checked together are also androids, so they won't feel tired.

"Continue tonight?"

"Okay."

Lu Wen didn't need to eat, but Wei Bo'an couldn't.

Other android executives are still investigating, and the two of them are outside a prison and find a random noodle restaurant.

"It's rare to have such good weather, the sunset is crimson, and I've been busy with cases all day." Wei Bo'an gulped down the noodles and said a few words casually.

Lu Wen looked outside.

As you look down the street, your gaze gradually rises.

It was indeed crimson, and in this perennially cloudy city, you could actually see the burning clouds, and those gray clouds in the sky seemed to spread out a lot.

The vivid red color is like a flame that will never be extinguished.

It's rising, it's burning.

The passers-by looked less numb.

They talked and laughed, and some took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

"Buzz—buzz—"

The mobile phone that Lu Wen put in his pocket suddenly vibrate.

He connected to his phone and found that it was an urgent message from the General Directorate of the 13th District Executive Directorate.

At the same time, the same message was sent out by the public channel of the 13th arrondissement.

"The prison is on fire, the defense system is failing, many prisoners have fled, and urgent reinforcements are being requested over there!"

Above the message is an address.

"This place?"

Lu Wen's face changed.

It was a high-level prison where Jiang Xiaonian was held, and it was filled with heinous prisoners.

In the era when the death penalty had not been abolished, the crimes committed by the criminals there were more than enough for them to be shot repeatedly.

At the same time, Lu Wen also thought of another thing.

"Prison ...... Prisoner...... It can't be such a coincidence, right? ”

The real murderer twelve years ago, did he go to the thirteenth district?

……

Good night, book friends!
