Chapter 16: The Mysterious Man in Black

With a rapid coughing sound, Chen Nian came to his senses.

"Are you alright?" Fang Jinyu's hair brushed against his face.

Chen Nian sat up and looked around: "Am I asleep?" ”

"I don't think ......," Fang Jinyu said, turning her face to the ashtray on the windowsill, where a whole cigarette corpse lay horizontally, "I think you may have just dozed off......"

Chen Nian understood what Fang Jinyu wanted to say, but this time he was a little out of order, and he only remembered the one-word eyebrows, eight-character beard, and cold single phoenix eyes when he tried to think about it.

"That's it." Chen Nian heard a high-pitched voice from the computer, got up and asked, "How?" ”

"The single-player game, called Master of Crime, has not been filed or publicly released, and is supposed to be an informal process that spreads on a small scale on some poorly regulated forums...... As for the content of the game, to put it simply, players complete the level upgrade through the game instructions until they clear the level...... On the surface, it is not much different from ordinary games, but the content of its level is usually based on some abnormal logic and value orientation, instigating players to treat evil with evil...... Of course, there is also a saying that human nature is inherently evil, and in the world of games, outright crimes often stimulate the player's desire more...... By the way, this game is set with nine crime modes, and players can choose from ......"

"So, does this have anything to do with reality?" Chen Nian asked.

"Quite possibly." Gao Fang said, "Look at the pattern set by Yao Xinwu: the bride in the snow, the death of the cave house, the red face and the troubled water, and the bamboo horse and the green plum...... Familiar? ”

"Grandma's bear!" Zhou Kejian, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly stood up and said, "The first two are very similar to Lin Yang and Ma Yiran's deaths!" So what do the last two mean? ”

"yes, what do you mean?" Chen Nian closed his eyes and meditated in his heart. About a minute later, Chen Nian suddenly opened his eyes, "Jinyu, Li Zhaohua of the second team, what is the situation of the person who reported the case?" ”

"The informant's name is Lu Pingping, the profession is a host of the Municipal Broadcasting Bureau, 38 years old, well-maintained, cheerful, hobby'philatelic', just to satisfy or achieve some selfish desires often have ambiguous relationships with different men...... "Fang Jinyu is worthy of being a scholar, and her ability to memorize files is first-class.

"That's right, Woe to the Red...... If this one is also successful, it will correspond to the 'red face and troubled water'. Chen Nian analyzed, "According to this logic, the next case will be ......"

The police car drove into the boundary of Jiangbei District, five to six kilometers away from the Huajiang Orphanage.

While driving, Zhou Kejian asked Chen Nian: "I said Team Chen, how did you think that the next place to commit the crime was an orphanage?" ”

Chen Nian looked out the window with his eyes and replied absentmindedly: "Intuition." ”

However, what Chen Nian thought of at this moment was: Yao Xinwu and Pineapple Head were making some kind of transaction under the Midnight Bridge; Lu Buping once told him that the pineapple head is named Guo Kui, and he is the confidant of Song Delong, chairman of the Brad Group; And this Song Delong is the person with whom Lu Buping is coming into contact in the name of cooperating in the reconstruction of the orphanage, and he is likely to be one of the key figures in the transnational human trafficking syndicate......

These inextricable connections may be the real reason why Chen Nian guessed Yao Xinwu's foothold. However, at the moment, he didn't have the time or energy to explain to everyone.

Yao Xinwu did go to the Jiangbei Orphanage today.

But what he didn't know was that the orphanage was about to be rebuilt, and the original teachers and students had been moved to temporary locations for resettlement. What he didn't know was that on top of the ruins of a broken wall, Guo Kui and his gang were waiting for him with their teeth picked.

"Why did you arrest me?" Yao Xinwu asked questions at the top of his throat when he was inexplicably tied to the radiator of an abandoned house.

Guo Kui stepped forward and slapped Yao Xinwu twice: "Don't pretend...... Pretend! Do you know enough about the? ”

"I know what I'm doing?"

"Let me ask you, did you provide a photo to a guy named Shi Lei?"

"What photo? I do not know. ”

"Those photos are...... Did you shoot it? ”

"It's not!"

Guo Kui spat and punched again: "Make your mouth hard, make your mouth hard......"

The beating lasted two or three minutes. Yao Xinwu spat blood at the corner of his mouth and said vaguely: "Don't fight, don't fight...... I say...... The photo is not me...... I didn't shoot it, it was someone who ...... Someone sent it to me and asked me to find a way to get it to you......"

"Who sent it?"

"I don't know, I don't know......"

"Don't know? Would you do an errand for a stranger for no reason? ”

"Because...... Because I looked at the picture, I knew the man...... It's called Shi Lei, I'm looking forward to him, ...... death"

"Make it up, you ......make it up again" Guo Kui picked up his fist and was about to start fighting, when he suddenly heard the faint sound of a police car outside. One of his subordinates stepped forward and said, "Brother Kui, it's not good, the strip is here." ”

Guo Kui put down his fist and squeezed out a sentence from between his gritted teeth: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly." ”

Even more panicked was Yao Xinwu.

"You let me go, and I'll go with you...... I'll help you find the people behind the scenes...... Take me away, take me away...... Feed...... Hey......" No matter how Yao Xinwu roared, Guo Kui and his gang had already fled at this moment.

Yao Xinwu had no choice but to try his best to break free of the hemp rope in his hand, but seeing that his wrist was strangled with blood marks still to no avail. Beads of sweat the size of beans flowed from his forehead to the ground, and Yao Xinwu seemed to be able to hear the pop of sweat falling into the dust and splashing again.

The alarm bell is getting closer.

The heart is also getting closer to the throat.

When the sound of brakes stopped and the sound of footsteps and bullets approaching, Yao Xinwu decided to give up the struggle and close his eyes and wait for his fate to be decided.

One, two, three......

It turned out that when waiting for death, the time was long enough to remind people of water drops.

Come on, it's going to come sooner or later anyway.

"Boom!"

The door was kicked open.

Chen Nian and several members of the Serious Crime Team rushed into the abandoned house with guns. However, I found that except for the half-cut hemp rope on the waste radiator, the house was empty.

Everyone looked at each other.

"There's a voice upstairs." Fang Jinyu suddenly raised her head and said.

"Chase." Chen Nian said, and the person had already run out of the door.

The demolished building has six floors, and when Chen Nian chased to the corner of the third floor of the stairs, he found the trace of the suspect, and Chen Nian shouted: "Stop, police!" ”

"Smack......

With the sound of a gunshot, Chen Nian felt a bullet fly over his head.

Chen Nian decisively shot back.

At this time, Zhou Kejian and others had already followed. Chen Gesturing to signal everyone to hide, and telling each other to have a gun and act carefully. After a few seconds of silent planning, several police officers nodded their heads in acknowledging the course of action. Subsequently, Zhou Kejian raised his gun and rushed to the front, and the others also moved to the corresponding point at the fastest speed.

Gunshots rang out one after another, and bullets made their way through the darkness.

In this way, you chased after me, and the stalemate lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the suspect was pushed to the top.

Chen Nian counted the number of bullets fired by the other party, and after hearing a crisp sound in the air, he quickly exchanged glances with Zhou Kejian, and then rushed out together.

Coming to the rooftop of the building, Chen Nian and the others were stunned again. I saw Yao Xinwu curled up and fell to the ground, with a dagger in his chest, and the blood around him was gurgling.

Chen Nian didn't have time to be annoyed, and rushed to the edge of the rooftop. Through the faint light of the snow, he saw that a dark figure was now jumping to the ground with the help of the section formed by the collapse of the house.

Chen Nian raised his hand and fired a shot. This shot has an element of gas. He knew that people couldn't catch up.

Fang Jinyu followed the sound of the gun.

Everywhere is gone. The shadow shrank into a dot and into her heart.
