When I saw that terrifying look, I was very shocked, and the people around me were also frightened and fled, screaming and screaming.

Tang Zhenguo's expression was very cold, and he didn't open his hands because of this terrible face. I know he's doing the right thing, and I don't know what dangerous things he's going to do if I let this man go.

"You're all going to die, I'm going to blow you up, I'm going to blow you up, ah, let go of me, I'm going to blow you up, ah......"

The Rotten Mask roared in a vicious and angry tone as he struggled desperately.

I can't predict if he's alarmist or genuine, and the first thing I can tell is where he might have the * on him, the bulging handbag.

While Tang Zhenguo grabbed the rotten face man, I rushed up and grabbed the handbag, I felt that the handbag was a little heavy, but I didn't know what it contained? If it were*, an explosion in this dense crowd would have unimaginable consequences.

My brain was racing fast, and I thought that not far away was the Wangjiapo (place name) Street Garden, and if there was an explosion in the Street Garden, the casualties would be minimized.

I picked up my handbag and ran wildly towards the street garden, and instead of running on the sidewalk, I rushed to the middle of the road, running wildly, panting. Because I know that even if there is an explosion at this point, the car will always be able to withstand a part of the shock wave of the explosion, which is always less harmful than a pedestrian directly facing the explosion.

The cars on the highway honked frantically, and some grumpy drivers drove their cars past me, but luckily it was a one-way lane and I didn't have to worry about the oncoming cars crashing me into the air.

I carried the increasingly heavy tote bag and rushed straight ahead like a 100-meter sprint.

100 meters, 50 meters, 10 meters......

I rushed straight into the garden from the flower bed, only to find that there were many elderly people in the garden stopping to chat. Some elderly people are also being pushed in wheelchairs by their family members, playing and laughing with their grandchildren.

I had no intention of disturbing their family fun, but the situation was urgent, so I threw my bag on the cobblestone floor in the middle of the garden, and shouted, "Yes*, get out of here, quickly!" ”

I shouted repeatedly, and at first the old people looked at me in surprise, as if they could see that I was not joking, and they ran noisily out of the garden. Perhaps they fled not because they heard me say yes*, but because they were frightened by my crazy appearance.

The old people were slow to move, and the speed of escape was not very fast, at this time I heard a clicking sound, and when I looked down, there was green smoke coming out of the bag under my feet.

Not good!

I chuckled in my heart, and the human instinct to flee the disaster told me that I had to leave.

But at this moment, a little boy with a bald head and a strong hydrogen balloon rushed into the street garden, and actually ran to the handbag emitting green smoke.

I stared at the innocent little boy's face with wide eyes, and I heard my own heartbeat seem louder than the sound of a car horn.

The green smoke was even stronger, and the air was filled with a pungent smell.

* Looks like it's going to explode.

I rushed to the child's side and picked him up, but because the action was too rude, the child did not grasp the balloon in his hand and flew into the sky.

The clicking sound was even more intense.

With my back to my handbag and knowing that I couldn't escape the blast, I crouched down and shielded the boy with my body.

After a "poof", I heard a song in English called "Happy New Year" playing through a very dilapidated external device, and the little boy was staring behind me with little eyes, giggling.

I turned my head and saw colorful scraps of paper covering the floor, some of which were still falling slowly, and a frightened clown with a long neck stretched out had broken his tote bag and swayed it very comically, as if to laugh at my stupidity.

"Engage in this kind of prank on the first day of the new year, you are sick!"

"Look at you're not too young, isn't that fun?"

"I lost the balloons of other people's children, buy one and return it to others."

"It's not going to be some kind of entertainment, is it? See where the camera is? ”

......

The passers-by around gradually gathered and talked endlessly, and most of them were accusing me.

I shook my head, not knowing what to say, and squeezed out of the crowd with an apologetic face, and a woman came up with a child in her arms and pulled me to make me pay for his son a hydrogen balloon.

I gave her ten dollars.

At this point, the tattered singing stopped.

I felt my pupils dilate and my breathing suddenly stopped.

I turned around and looked at the crowd of onlookers and only shouted the word "scatter"!

A blinding golden light blurred my vision in an instant, an incomparable heat wave lifted me into the air, and the deafening explosion made me deaf in an instant.

I fell hard in the middle of the road, and I felt like the whole world was turned upside down, and I couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of sour water.

I slowly got up, and I couldn't hear anything in my ears except the screeching of the chirp. Some people covered in blood ran past me in grief, and I could only vaguely see their expressions of extreme horror and pain, and open their big mouths to cry, but I could not hear the slightest wail from them.

Smoke billowed from the scene of the explosion and it was terrible to see.

I snapped and sat down on the ground, and the anger, sadness, and unspeakable emotions rushed into my brain, and I felt a wave of dizziness, and my eyes suddenly went dark.

"Hahahaha, Ouyang Jie, you can't fight." In the darkness, I dimly saw the strange man with six black feathered wings behind me, and he was provoking me in a very playful tone.

In normal times, I would not have disdained this kind of provocation, but now, under such provocation, I feel very helpless.

There were more and more weirdos with six black wings, and they filled my field of vision, and laughter filled my ears.

"Ahh I screamed and opened my eyes violently.

The first thing I saw was the white ceiling. With this sleek ceiling of slabs and a silver-gray curtain on the left that I swept to the left, I knew that this was the hospital.

I felt a faint pain in my head, and I wanted to touch my head with my right hand, only to find that there was a needle for infusion on the back of my right hand.

I touched my head with my left hand and knew that my head was tightly bandaged.

I don't think my head hurts, do you?

I rang the nurse's bell.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged nurse opened the curtain next to my bed, and I saw that she had a chest badge pinned to her chest.

And next to the head nurse is Tang Zhenguo with a sad face.

The head nurse made a routine check, and then said to Tang Zhenguo: "It's not a big deal, just pay attention to rest." She turned and left.

I looked at Tang Zhenguo anxiously, and said with some excitement: "How was the explosion handled?" How many people died? ”

Tang Zhenguo looked at me puzzled and said, "What explosion?" What and how many people died? Do you dream after fainting? ”

I noticed Tang Zhenguo's tone and expression, and it was obvious that he was surprised and denied my question. What's going on?

I tried my best to calm myself down and asked, "How did I get to the hospital?" ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "The patrolling police sent you here, and they all know you and know that you are an advisor to the criminal investigation team." ”

"Patrolling police? And what about the other wounded? ”

Tang Zhenguo had another surprised expression: "Other injured people? No, you're alone. ”

I thought: No, I was injured in the brain by the shock wave of the big bang, and then I was in a coma because I saw the tragic situation at the scene. I remember that my head was not injured enough to need to be bandaged, and the scene was blown up like that, how could it be that there were no injured people, could it be that it was completely blown up? Apparently impossible.

I hurriedly asked, "How did my head hurt?" ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "I heard from the police that they learned from the crowd at the scene that you suddenly fainted, and your head was hit on the ground and injured, and a lot of blood was shed. ”

"Fainted suddenly?" I couldn't believe it, but there was a distinctly tearing pain in my head, which was clearly caused by trauma.

What's going on?

I looked into Tang Zhenguo's eyes and asked solemnly, "Are you sure there was no explosion?" ”

Tang Zhenguo said with certainty: "Sure no!" There was only a strange clown in that tote bag. ”

Are you sure there was no explosion? What's going on? Am I seeing a hallucination?

Strange clowns? It was the clown I saw in the scare box, and I was impressed with that.

I asked, "Where's that tote bag?" ”

"It should be taken away by the police, you can ask Lao Lu."

"Okay, let's go to the criminal investigation team now." As I spoke, I sat up and prepared to remove the needle from the back of my hand.

Tang Zhenguo stopped me and said, "No, the doctor said that I want to watch you finish this bottle of drip." Your head hurts a lot, so don't mess around. ”

I nodded slowly and said, "How long have I been unconscious?" ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "Not long after, about four hours, the doctor said that there was a slight concussion, the problem is not big, and it will be fine after a good rest." ”

I frowned and asked, "What about the rotten man you caught?" ”

"Dead."

I widened my eyes, looked at Tang Zhenguo's swarthy face and asked, "How did you die?" ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "After the man was caught by me, his face kept rotting, and finally his whole head was rotten. ”

"What were the symptoms before he died? Are there pains, wails and struggles? ”

Tang Zhenguo thought for a while and said, "It's really strange for me to think about it. The man's face was rotten like that, and his mouth kept saying that he would blow you up and blow you up, and he didn't struggle too much, nor did he show pain, and in the end when he was so rotten that he died, he was weak and lost his breath. ”

"No, I have to go and see, the body must be in the forensic center." After that, I was ready to pull out the needle again.

was still stopped by Tang Zhenguo, and he said sharply: "It can be done, this bottle of water must be infused." ”

I looked at the water, there was still half a bottle, and I shook my head helplessly, so let's wait.

Tang Zhenguo and I first came to the forensic appraisal center. At this time, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and when we rushed to the autopsy office, we found Liu Lili sleeping next to the corpse.

Tang Zhenguo gently pushed Liu Lili, Liu Lili opened her eyes, and said in a daze: "You are here." ”

She was confused for a few seconds, then slowly stood up and looked at my head, and I knew she was looking at the wound on my head. But she just watched, looking like she wanted to say something.

I felt embarrassed, so I said, "How's the body doing?" ”

Liu Lili suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, quickly took her eyes off my head, pushed the black-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and slowly recovered her eyes from the beginning of the confusion to clarity, and finally said with a professional expression: "It's basically done." ”

I nodded slightly and said, "Tell me about it." "In fact, I have disconnected the delicate relationship between Liu Lili and me, and I feel smoother in my work.

Am I a little cold-blooded?

Liu Lili uncovered the film blocking the corpse's face, revealing the unsightly face of the deceased, and Tang Zhenguo showed a disgusted expression. But I know he's improved a lot better than before, just disgusted, not disgusted.

He wrapped his clothes and said, "I'll go out for a cigarette, and you go on." ”

This kid, it seems that he hasn't made much progress, so he found a reason to avoid it so quickly.

Liu Lili ignored Tang Zhenguo, pointed to the face of the corpse and said, "This person's face is eroded by aqua regia, and I found that there is some silicone left on his face. The real cause of his death was poisoning from the capsule that had been stored in his mouth. ”

I looked at the deceased's face, and there was indeed some residue of silicone, and it seemed that the man was wearing a silicone human skin mask.

This alone is very likely to be related to Qu Mo's criminal syndicate, and as long as the silicone on his face is detected to be made of the same material as the silicone human skin mask of the 'Demon Slayer', its relationship with Qu Mo can be determined.

Then these aqua regia should have been cleverly sealed under the silicone mask before, and the moment he was caught, he activated the mechanism of the mask, corroded his appearance, and at the same time committed suicide by swallowing the * capsule in the opening. Then this person should be a Deadpool.

I asked Liu Lili, "Do you estimate the pain level of aqua regia corroding the face?" ”

Liu Lili said: "The contact burns of this chemical should be in the severe pain level. But no matter how severe the pain is, it doesn't have the slightest effect on the person in front of you? ”

I frowned and said, "He doesn't feel pain?" ”

Liu Lili looked at me, nodded and said, "Yes, when I examined this deceased, I found that his head had been operated on and his cranial cavity had been opened. I asked Professor Wu from the identification center to come and see it, and Professor Wu opened his skull and found that the person had undergone no less than three surgeries in the brain, and the purpose of the operation was to suppress the pain in the sensory area of the person's cortex. We also found that the person had surgery on his spine, and Professor Wu said that there was a theory that there might be a gate mechanism in the dorsal angle of the spine that could control pain, and that if the gate was closed with clever surgery, the pain could be completely suppressed. ”

I was a little surprised and asked, "Can this surgery be done?" ”

"Theoretically, it is achievable, but it will definitely be quite difficult to operate," Liu said. ”

It seems that Qu Mo's criminal group is really full of talents. Also, money can make ghosts grind, and this kind of surgery is mostly done by those crazy medical scientists.

Knowing the cause of the criminal's death, I asked Liu Lili: "Did there be an explosion in the street garden of Wangjiapo today?" ”

Liu Lili looked at me puzzled: "I haven't heard of it, but the video of you running in the middle of the road has been uploaded to the Internet." ”

My eyes widened and I said, "Really? ”

Liu Lili took off her gloves and took out her mobile phone to show me, only to see that in the video, it was me running on the road with my handbag, and the titles of those videos made me angry and funny.

"The snitch snatched the LV famous bag on New Year's Day, panicked, and raced against the car."

"Run away, the police car is stuck behind."

......

After leaving the forensic appraisal, Tang Zhenguo and I came to the criminal investigation team.

Lao Lu was still studying the murder of Kang Shengjun at this time, and the criminal police were all verifying the identity of the faceless man, but for the time being, nothing was found.

I said to Lao Lu, "Where's that bag?" ”

Lao Lu said: "In the evidence room." ”

"I'm going to take a look."

Lao Lu asked Liu Sanxun to take me to the evidence room, and took out this Louis Vuitton bag from the evidence box.

The handbag had been torn, blown up, to be exact. This bag looks like it's long lost its prestige.

I took the bag and looked at it over and over again, and said, "Are you sure that this bag is Kang Shengjun's?" ”

Liu Sanxun nodded and said, "Yes, his wife came to confirm." And in the mezzanine of the bag, we also found Kang Shengjun's business card. ”

Seeing this bag, I can be sure that the explosion really didn't happen, and if it was a big explosion, this bag would have been wiped out long ago.

I remember a green smoke coming out of the bag, but there was no green substance left in the bag, but I could smell the pungent smell that remained. But this pungent smell is like a *, very different from what I smelled before.

I know it's the *smell left behind when you blow open the bag and let the scare box come out.

So what is the pungent smell that I asked earlier?

Of course, I also found a few pieces of red, green, and green paper in the bag, which also appeared in my impression, but these pieces of paper did not have much value, they were just a kind of props for celebrations and magic tricks, and there were many ways to buy them.

After checking the bag, I said to Liu Sanxun: "What about the scare box?" ”

Liu Sanxun took out the box from another evidence box.

I first asked, "Did you find fingerprints or human dander or anything like that on this scare box?" ”

Liu Sanxun shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything." ”

I took a closer look at the scare box and found that the clown also had a residual mark of * on his head, which appeared to have been left when he blew up the bag.

I pressed the clown into the box, closed the box, and opened the box again, and the clown popped out again, and at the same time started playing music, which was still the same "Happy new year" English children's song, and the voice was still hoarse and broken.

But checking here, it doesn't explain the explosion hallucinations I saw, what's going on?

I took the handbag in my hand, found Lao Lu and said, "Submit it to the technical department, and then test the possible residual substances in the handbag, because this bag emitted a strong and pungent green gas before, we have to find out what this gas is?" ”

Lao Lu asked a little puzzled: "It's just a prank, the gas you see is nothing more than for show, just like those confetti and clown boxes, it has no investigative value." ”

Hearing Lao Lu's words, I was a little angry and said, "Lao Lu, you have to believe me, my intuition tells me that there must be something strange in this." ”

Lao Lu lit a cigarette, I saw that his eyes were bloodshot, it seemed that he was killed by Kang Shengjun's case, he said slowly: "You still focus on Kang Shengjun's case, don't blindly investigate this prank." He paused, looked at my head, and said, "Why don't you go back and rest for a few days and heal from your injuries?" ”

I was even more impatient, propped my hands on Lao Lu's desk, glared at him and said, "Comrade Lu Jinfeng, how many years have we been cooperating?" Have I done any blind research? I can tell you with certainty that the scare box is not a prank, it is a prop specifically aimed at me. During this time, I had very real hallucinations, and I saw a massive explosion in the entire street garden, and the crowd of onlookers was shattered and flesh and blood were blurred. Thankfully, it's all an illusion. Rest assured, I'm very sane now, and I can tell you for sure that this hallucination is not something that a person can produce under normal circumstances, and I suspect that I was hypnotized by some strange method. It can be said that the victim of your so-called prank this time is me. And I believe that my case and Kang Shengjun's case must have something in common. At least now it can be determined that the bag that committed the crime is the bag that disappeared in Kang Shengjun's case. ”

Lao Lu took a puff of cigarette, spit out a wisp of blue smoke, and said, "How are you going to check?" ”

I straightened up and said, "I'm going to see the surveillance footage from before I fainted." ”

Lao Lu nodded.

Soon, the monitoring of Wangjiapo Street Garden was called up and projected onto the big screen of the technical department.

I was blown away by what it said.

From the time I rushed into the street garden, evacuated the crowd, hugged the little boy, saw the scare box, and walked out of the crowd, these are exactly the same as I remember.

But after getting out of the crowd, I was standing alone on the side of the road on the screen, as if I was still talking something?

I was amazed by the fact that there was a woman holding the boy in her arms and coming to me to compensate him for the balloon, but there was no trace of the woman and the boy in the picture.

On the contrary, I was still talking in the picture, and my body was still twisting from time to time, as if someone was pulling around me. What's even more incredible is that I also took out my wallet and took out the money and gave it to the front, but there was no half figure in front of me.

Then the money fell to the ground, and I stood like a log in the picture, and a few pedestrians looked at me a few times, and the money was blown away by the wind, and an old man bent down to pick up the money, and quickly disappeared into the picture.

And I, just like that, stood there for about two minutes, and then fell straight to the right, because of the inertia of falling to the ground, the right side of my head touched the ground, apparently that's how the wound on my head came.

What's going on? I stared in horror as I fell to the ground and the crowd of onlookers.

Difficult to explain.
