Chapter 55: Two Possibilities
The defensiveness in the team leader's eyes made me very puzzled, and I couldn't understand why he was suddenly like this.
However, this also proves my previous calculation of him, this team leader is raising ghosts!
"Does the team leader believe that there are ghosts in this world?" I didn't answer him directly, but asked him rhetorically to see what else he would do.
The team leader was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer me for a while, so he paused before saying: "There are always some things that cannot be explained by science, and I can't believe it, but I don't reject this." ”
When he said this, the team leader's eyes had some complicated looks, as if he was deliberately avoiding my gaze.
"If you can, let's talk about it later." Seeing him like this, I was even more puzzled, and I wanted to know what kind of ghost he was raising.
"Okay, when you and Xiao Li finish reading these materials, let's talk in another place." The team leader said with a solemn expression.
And when Li Sumo saw this scene, her eyes were also wide, she was puzzled, and she didn't understand why the team leader's reaction was a little strange after she said about the red vest.
"Let's talk about the case on the paper."
Seeing this, I diverted the conversation and refocused my attention to the purpose of my visit.
I then asked the team leader why the place of death of the deceased was not indicated on the documents.
The team leader said that the way the deceased died was too strange, the time interval between deaths was very short, and the locations were also far apart, and from a normal point of view, the deceased all died in the same way, indicating that the murderer was a person.
But the fact is that no one can change multiple locations in such a very short period of time, even the most powerful murderer cannot do this, and this is why they cannot give a reasonable explanation, so they did not write this message.
The important thing is that this case has been classified as a top-secret case, and the police officers who went to investigate should not know too much, once the slightest rumor leaks out, it will cause panic within the police department, so this information that will attract attention is hidden from the front-line police officers.
After the team leader said this, I asked again, except for the deceased who appeared in the downtown square this morning, where are the other three deceased?
After the team leader reported the three place names, I was a little confused, because I didn't know any of the three place names, and I couldn't judge the distance between them.
I had to ask them again about the approximate distance.
Li Sumo on the side seemed to be aware of my embarrassment, and hurriedly took out a map from the side and pointed it to me.
Looking at it, I found that the nearest places are at least ten kilometers away, and one of them is still in the suburbs.
But two of these dead people died just a few minutes apart.
This situation made me think of two possibilities, if the copper-headed mask Taoist who killed the four dead people is the same, I can be sure that he is definitely not a person, and it is very likely that he is the one who escaped in the red vest incident.
Second, they are not the same, but this kind of black-robed demon man with a copper-headed mask, at least there will be more than three.
However, I still believe in the first possibility in my heart, because I don't think it is possible that there will be so many black-robed Daoists in the West Market at the same time.
It's just that I'm still a little confused, what kind of method this evil ghost used to use the posture of a living person to run to three different locations in such a short period of time.
It would be easy for him to do this in the posture of a ghost, but all the relatives of the victim said that they saw the black-robed Taoist man with a bronze head and a mask, which means that he was harming people in the form of a human.
"Huh! Qin Guang, take a closer look, these locations all have a common feature. ”
At this time, Li Sumo seemed to have discovered something, and said to me with some surprise.
However, I looked at the map again for a long time, but I still didn't see any clues, so I had to ask Li Sumo: "What do you see?" ”
Li Sumo suddenly became a little excited and said, "Except for the deceased who appeared in the city center, there is a Taoist temple in other places!" ”
After speaking, Li Sumo solemnly added: "Including the deceased seven years ago, there is also this Taoist temple near his home!" ”
Temples! Black-robed Taoist.
Li Sumo woke me up all of a sudden, doesn't that mean that guy is hiding in those Taoist temples!
"How many Taoist temples are there in Xishi?" I asked hurriedly.
Li Sumo and the team leader glanced at each other, thought about it carefully, and said, "There are only five Taoist temples in the West Market. ”
The black-robed Taoist in my heart must be hidden in these five Taoist temples!
"Team leader, have the police officers you arranged to go to these Taoist temples to investigate?" I asked.
The team leader shook his head, saying that the police officers had been arranged to squat at the scene of the incident.
"Then let them go to these Taoist temples to investigate, and see if there are any black-robed Taoists wearing copper-headed masks in the Taoist temples." I said to the team leader.
"By the way, you must check to see if there are any missing Taoists in the Taoist temple, and if there are any more people in the temple." After thinking about it, I said again.
After speaking, Li Sumo and the team leader looked at me with a hint of surprise, and the team leader smiled lightly and said, "I can't see that you are still so familiar with criminal investigation, this is a question that only an experienced old policeman can think of." ”
I was slightly stunned and smiled embarrassedly.
After saying that, the team leader made a few phone calls and redeployed, allowing the officers to focus on the surrounding Taoist temples.
At this time, I secretly thought in my heart, Niu Dan and Ma Sha also went to those Taoist temples, hoping that the black-robed Taoist could be found by the two of them smoothly, and with the ability of the two of them, they should be able to solve the evil ghost and not make any more trouble.
But as soon as I thought that thing could appear in human form, I felt uneasy for no reason, and I always felt that even Niu Dan and Ma Sha couldn't deal with him, after all, their methods were against ghosts.
But at the moment, I feel that I still need to understand the matter of the team leader's ghost raising, and I can't be sure whether the team leader's behavior of raising ghosts has anything to do with the black-robed Taoist.
Once there is a connection between them, it may be even more serious than I expected.
After the team leader rearranged the matter, I said to him, "Team leader, let's talk about something else." ”
The team leader paused, turned his head to look at Li Sumo, and said, "Xiao Li, you can rest first, and I'll go out with Qin Guang." ”
Li Sumo seemed to see that we had something important to say, so he didn't ask much, and said lightly: "Well, I'll stay here first and then take a closer look at the information, you don't have to worry about me." ”
The team leader nodded, turned to me and said, "Let's talk outside." ”
Then the team leader walked out of the office and walked out of the police building, not saying a word on the way, frowning, and I followed him all the time.
"Master Qin, have you already seen something?"
When the team leader walked to the side of the road outside the gate, he stopped, turned to me, and said.
I saw his solemn and worried look, and I probably understood what he meant, and no one else knew about his ghost raising.
I thought about it for a while, and I thought it would be better to tell him directly: "Well, there has always been a ghost thing around you." ”
As soon as my words came out, the team leader frowned, took a deep breath and said, "Sure enough, you can see it, that's right, there are indeed ghosts you mentioned around me." ”
I asked him if he could talk to me, but the team leader hesitated and refused to speak for a long time.
"You know, your longevity is running out, and there is only half a year left." I had to make him realize the seriousness of the matter and say to him.
A hint of surprise flashed in the team leader's eyes, and then his eyes became dim, and he said softly: "I know, I didn't expect you to even be able to see this." ”
I was puzzled to see that he didn't seem to care much about his lifespan, and he didn't seem to want to tell me about it, so I asked, "Don't you even care about your own lifespan?" ”
The team leader shook his head and said, "Half a year is enough time for me to take care of the aftermath, I hope you don't interfere in this matter." ”
I wondered even more, why he didn't feel fear at all when he was haunted by ghosts, and he didn't care about his own life and was willing to die.
This made me want to know the truth more and more, so I told a secret I discovered when I was measuring his words: "In the eyes of outsiders, you have no children under your knees, but that's not the case, right?" ”
As soon as he heard what I said, the team leader's eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "You... How do you know. ”
"This doesn't matter, I can only tell you that you can't let him lose your father, so you have to tell me the truth of the matter now." I said.
"No... I can't tell you that you're going to take her soul away, and I'm not going to hurt her again. The team leader's face tightened, and he lost his mind.
Seeing his reaction like this, I smiled bitterly in my heart, he regarded me as a person who specializes in ghost hunting, just like some Taoists who caught ghosts when they encountered ghosts and destroyed them when they saw ghosts.
I had no choice but to explain: "I didn't plan to descend the ghost thing next to you, I just want to help you make up for the lost Yang Shou and give her a better home, don't you want her to re-enter the reincarnation and reincarnation?" ”
Hearing this, the team leader's eyes widened, and his expression suddenly became a little excited: "You... Are you saying that she can still be reincarnated? ”
As soon as the team leader said this, I was sure that he must have been communicating with the ghost he raised regularly, and that ghost couldn't be reincarnated for some unknown reason.
From his words, I can tell that the ghost is a woman, and he had a very close relationship with him before his death, but I calculate that he is not widowed now, and the female ghost is likely to be his lover before his death.
I nodded and said, "As long as she's not a haunting ghost, I can reincarnate her, and you'd better let me meet her." ”
The team leader said excitedly: "No... She's not a demon and has never harmed anyone. ”
As he spoke, the team leader's eyes suddenly turned red, and the whole person looked extremely sad and lonely.
