Volume 5 The Grinding of Teeth in the Morgue Chapter 3, A bailiff's night at an inn in a foreign land
That year, I went to Linxian County to collect evidence for a case, but because the matter was urgent, the other party police station had not been contacted, so by the time it was dark, there was no more
Fa rushed back that night, so I had to go to the town to find an inn to stay in, thinking that I would rush back early tomorrow morning.
It is a town of only about 200 people, and except for a three-story house at the station, which is built of bricks typical of the southern countryside
I have seen the wooden house built and the state-run tour of the station, it is dirty and scary, the walls are dark, and there is a simple wooden bed and floor
There was a kettle on it, and I was disgusted to see, especially the black, thick quilt on the bed, and I suspected that there were enough crickets in it to form one
The legion, especially the broken windows of this house, and the smell of Han and the smell of not bathing for a long time wafting from another room next to it, are even more annoying
I was almost certain that the eight-person room next to me was inhabited by a large group of migrant workers, so I didn't care about the middle-aged woman
He recommended, saying that this is the best house here, the only single room, only eighty yuan a day, so late can you also give a discount, sixty
That's it......
I quickly escaped and went to find a private hostel on the street.
Soon I found a two-story courtyard, which looked quite imposing, facing southeast, with dark and solid walls, vermilion
The eaves of the wood were fluttering, and in front of the door were two upright columns, also of vermilion, like two steel nails firmly nailed there. Two round stones below
padding.
I walked towards the window with the sign of "Chu Xi Hotel". The incandescent lamp was a little dim, and an old man of about sixty years old was doing
I was smoking a Chinese cigarette inside, and the smell of smoke was a little pungent, and before I could open my mouth, he said "Do you live in the hotel?" I said yes. He shook the soot and said, you
Good luck, that four-person room is not full yet, just right, you can squeeze in, what, I have to live with people when I hear it, this is not good, I said
I can pay a high price for a single room. The old man glared at me and said, do you think we are a station hostel, you go in and see
Look at it, and then I opened the door of the next room with me, and quietly, and the old man said to me, I had to follow in,
At first glance, it is indeed refreshing and clean, and there are already three people sleeping in it.
Then the old man took me out and said to me, "Register, twenty dollars." I was a little embarrassed because it was enough, but
It was I who had important information and guns on me, which could not be lost, so I said to him ruthlessly, give me a private room, and I will go out
High. The old man said half-reasonably, no, there is no single room. When I saw that it was getting late at night, and I didn't want to go back to the station hotel, I said to him,
Can you think of a way! I had important belongings, and it was inconvenient to live in a multi-person room, and after glaring at me for a long time, the old man turned around and took one out of the drawer
The original image was a shabby old yellow calendar, flipped through it, and then muttered a few words in his mouth, and then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he said to himself,
Okay, she won't come tonight, and then he pinched his fingers, and suddenly there was another pause, oh so someone else would come, but he looked at me,
Dao, tell me honestly if you have any blood debts.
When I heard this, I was a little angry, I was a police officer, a business traveler from the Public Security Bureau, and then I showed him my documents. That's it. Old man, this
I was relieved to register. led me to the small pavilion on the second floor, opened the room, and a fragrance wafted over, and I felt that these two hundred yuan were open
Not wronged, the white gauze son-in-law, the white sheets, the futon is also snow-white, there is a table inside, there is a vase on it, and there is a bunch of fresh in the bottle
Flowers, this large bed is also very distinctive, painted with purple corners carved with some patterns, the workmanship is quite exquisite. Even better, there's a window facing north,
At this moment, the moonlight is pouring in. Seeing my satisfied expression, the old man went away happily, and before leaving, he said to me, "Guests, don't put this window."
When you close it, be sure to let the moonlight in, and remember. The old man's eyes were full of solemnity and warning. Okay, uncle, go ahead,
I like to sleep with the window open, right?
The old man nodded, and was about to turn around when he suddenly turned around and said to me, "If you hear any sound at night, don't go out."
Come. I began to annoy the old man a little, so I said: I know, now I am very tired, I want to sleep immediately, please go out.
A strange glint flashed in the old man's eyes, and he gave me one last look before leaving.
I was really sleepy, so I lay down and slept, but I thought of the documents and guns I was carrying, which I couldn't throw away, so
I got up again and closed the little window, after all, I was past the age of poetry.
Yesterday was the 14th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and now it is past the time of the sub-hour, so the time has reached the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar.
I Shi Shiran lay down, pressed the gun and materials under the pillow, smelled the faint fragrance from the white bedding in my mouth and nose, and thought
I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight.
As time went by, about the second half of the night, I felt as if someone was blowing hot air on my face, itchy, very
Comfortable, but also very uncomfortable, so I woke up, I looked around with my eyes open, and there was nothing. Since I closed the window, so
It was dark inside, and I distinctly remembered how it felt to be someone blowing in my face again, but now I was sure of it
There was absolutely no one in the house, and with my eight years of criminal investigation experience, I had never seen anything. At the slightest disturbance, I can sense the other person's position, but
Now I'm sure there's absolutely no one in the house.
Was I dreaming just now? But why does it feel so clear?
Just as I was about to fall asleep in a daze, a clear cry came from my ears, and I sat up and held my gun in my hand
Middle. Yes, this time I heard it very clearly, it was the voice of a little girl, coming from the street, and it was very close to me. Small children's
The louder he cried, the louder he became, as if he couldn't stop it. I decided to go out and have a look, took the documents with me, opened the door with my gun in my hand, and walked out.
I don't know when the moonlight outside the house is gone, and it's very dark, but with the eyes I have practiced in criminal investigation work, I can still do it
See clearly things that are at least a hundred paces away. Step by step, I approached the cry, and at last I could clearly see that it was a man dressed in white
The little girl in the dress was sitting in the middle of the street crying, and I slowly approached her, and then I could see her face clearly, it was a round one, very good
The face of love, with crystal tears hanging on it, I shouted at her, little sister, why don't you go home, what are you crying here, she turned her head
looked at me, sobbed, my mother hit me, she didn't want me anymore.
Oh, it turned out to be a child who was beaten out by an adult, and I had a false alarm, so I decided to send her back. I approached her and asked
Where's your home? There, I looked in the direction of her finger, but it was the two-story inn where I lived
I turned my head in surprise, and suddenly a dazzling white light shot at me, it was a Dongfeng brand truck that was coming in a hurry. I hurried to the side
One of them dodged from the side, and then a short scream was heard, and the little girl in white, who had just sat in the middle of the street crying, was crushed to flesh alive
Pulp, flesh, and white brains splattered on the ground. Then, the Dongfeng truck stopped not far away, and out of professional instinct, I stood
Ke silently memorized the license plate, cloud K - 886742.
I immediately rushed over to catch the guy who nearly killed me. The car door suddenly opened, and a person walked down, this person one
A distinctive rectangular face with a mole at the corner of the eye. How could it be him, I almost fainted with fright, this person was sentenced to be shot in the crackdown not long ago,
And it was the prisoner I shot with my own hands, and he fell silently.
I shot three people, a rapist who killed three people, a smuggler who resold guns and drugs, and the other
One is him, who is said to be a murderer who has been on the run for many years, and he is the one I remember the most about these three people, and we will always carry it out out of practice
At the last moment, ask, what else do you have to say, at this time, the average prisoner will always cry bitterly and say, I'm sorry for whom,
And the steel hard one said, Lao Tzu has nothing to say, etc., and he said that I have killed people, and you killed me unjustly, but I did not kill you
The man we were talking about. Generally speaking, when a person arrives at this time, every word he utters is likely to be the last sentence in his life, so
More than 99 percent of the time the truth is true. But now that he has been convicted, and he has no evidence, we will continue to deal with him
The execution was carried out!
I also felt a little uncomfortable after I finished shooting people that day, and I have been in politics since I received the task of shooting people again three months ago
The committee said that I would not do it, but the political commissar personally came to my house to do the work for me, saying that this was the last one, and I thought that young people could not do it after all.
And for some other reason, young people are generally not allowed to go......
I drank three bottles of wine on the day of the execution, but today I suddenly saw him again, and my spirit almost collapsed. only
Seeing him walk to the pool of flesh and blood and look at it again hesitated for a moment and hurriedly ran back I yelled and stopped Guo Zhigang you
Couldn t run away he still ran towards the car without looking back so i didn t hesitate to shoot him in the air he paused still
Slipped into the door, I slowed down and fired another shot at the truck that had already started, and the gun missed the tire, but it did
On the baffle, I clearly remember where the gun was in the car.
The car drove away in the blink of an eye, leaving a puff of white tail smoke floating in the air.
I approached the pool of blood, but suddenly I noticed that it was gone. My scalp tingled, and suddenly I remembered why
I fired two shots, so loudly, and no one in the town got up to take a look. Then I thought of a horrible thing, us
The most feared thing in this line of work is that the condemned prisoner who was shot by us came back to us, and some of our internal colleagues went crazy and were admitted to an insane asylum, and that was in their old age
Genesic.
(My friend spoke to me in a low tone, saying that I am a member of the Communist Party, and I have never believed in ghosts and gods.
But after that incident, my faith in me was shaken.)
I walked slowly back to the inn from my semi-paralysis, and I went to knock on the old man's door, and there was a terrified voice at the door, "Please don't come to me,
I didn't mean to force you to death, don't you come back every fifteenth, are you going to find your daughter, I burned you banknotes, and asked a monk to do it
Law......
It was the voice of the old man, and I was in a very confused mood now, and I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I walked towards the small attic, and suddenly I saw someone above
The shadow moved, as if a young woman in white walked in, I was shocked again, although I brought the information with me, but what did she do when she went in, I chased it
When I went up and opened the door, there was no one inside, and my heart became more and more numb, and then it occurred to me that this room was more like a woman's house
The room depends on the flowers and the faint fragrance. And the bedding and the bed, I knew that I was living in the same room that the dead had once lived
Angry, angry, frightened, and frightened, I suddenly wanted to rush down and kick the door open, and catch the old man out and kill him fiercely
I was beaten, but suddenly I wanted to run again......
I don't even know how I survived that night, but I remember that when it was almost dawn, the train came from the station, and I got on it and left, and it didn't happen
Go back to the old man. When I returned to the bureau, I handed over the information, and the leader saw that I was not in good spirits, and gave me two days off, so I took the time to go to the traffic police force
Therefore, the department investigated, and sure enough, on July 15, three years ago, a little girl was killed in the middle of the night in a small town in Linxian County, and the driver escaped, and he has not been arrested so far
After hitting and killing someone that night, another murder was caused, and it turned out that the little girl ran after being beaten by her mother
When the quilt hit the street and died, the mother-in-law's family blamed her, and the woman also drank poison and died that night. Her name is Lin Chuxi, and the inn is used
Her name. Then her husband went crazy and went missing, and now the old man was left alone to guard the big house.
Then, from memory, I went to the vehicle scrap yard and found the scrapped car, which was rusty and piled up in a pile of rotten cars
Middle. What frightened me the most was that I found the hole of my 54 shot on the baffle of the car, and the marks were still very new.
On the same day, I took a long-distance bus to Guo Zhigang's hometown to find out, it turned out that Guo Zhigang had a twin brother who had been lost since he was a child.
At this point, I suspect that the one we shot was only Guo Zhigang, who crushed a person to death, and that the murderer who committed multiple murders was probably his
Brother, maybe still on the run.
I reported the situation to the above and proposed to take early retirement, and three months later, I was granted early retirement for special reasons
One of the reasons is that I can't tell where the two bullets went.
I'm forty-nine years old, and that happened seven years ago, when I was just forty-two.
