Chapter XXVII: The Third Victim
"What forensic doctor?" Yang Wenbin was surprised, "How could she ......?"
"Actually, I'm not sure if it's really her, but Forensic Doctor He has been working here for at least 20 years. Sometimes she would tell us about the corpses she had dissected, the cases she had handled, and so on. Yan Junli's eyes did not leave the road, but in the dead of night, in the early hours of the morning, there were no cars passing by at all, let alone taxis, "I once heard her tell a case twenty years ago, a female corpse disfigured by sulfuric acid was abandoned on a mountain that no one knows, I only remember that she said that the corpse was one of the most terrifying corpses she had ever seen." I never took this story seriously until you said that. Then it occurred to me that she had taken maternity leave with me just before this case happened, and that none of us had ever heard of her being pregnant before. β
"You meanβ"
"Yes, maybe she already knew what was going to happen, maybe Liu Yang or the person behind the scenes warned her before, and then she wanted to hide." Yan Junli's speech became faster and faster, "That's why she was the last to be killed, because she was prepared, so she was the hardest to kill." But now that Liu Yang has been exposed, not only has he been exposed, but he has also attacked you, which means that they have been cornered, Liu Yang will definitely kill Forensic Doctor He soon, if we rush over now, it may be too late! β
As soon as Yan Junli's words fell, a taxi came in the distance, but there were other passengers sitting in the taxi, and there was no intention of stopping.
"Stop!" Yan Junli trotted two steps, took out the police badge and almost pasted it on the front window, and the fierce look startled the driver and passengers, "The police are on official business, get out of the car!" β
The passenger who was forcibly pulled off the car by Yan Junli scolded on the side of the road, and the taxi driver was still shocked and asked tremblingly,
"Uh...... Where to? β
"No. X, Building X, Jinghong Community." Yan Junli quickly reported a string of addresses, "Quick!" β
ββ¦β¦ How fast? The driver was apparently still blindfolded.
"Drive as fast as you can!" Yan Junli shouted.
When the taxi stopped downstairs in the designated place, it almost took a drift to stop, and just then a heart-rending scream was heard from upstairs, and the two quickly jumped out of the car and rushed to the unit door.
"Get out of the way!" Yan Junli took a few steps back, then slammed the iron door with his shoulder, and after repeating it several times, the door finally opened.
"Third floor!" Yan Junli told Yang Wenbin loudly, and quickly took out his pistol and took the lead and rushed upstairs.
The door to the third floor was wide open, and it looked like someone had forced their way in. The female voice continued to scream, and the voice sounded painful. The first scene Yan Junli and Yang Wenbin saw after rushing into the room was a woman covering her face with her hands and screaming in pain and rolling on the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfuric acid corroding her skin. And Liu Yang took the dagger that attacked Yang Wenbin and looked at the comer with a hideous expression.
"Lay down your weapons! Otherwise, I'll shoot! Yan Junli shouted loudly.
However, Liu Yang was as if he hadn't heard it, he was not afraid of the gun in Yan Junli's hand, and rushed towards Yan Junli with the knife. Yan Junli first shot and injured Liu Yang's arm with a knife, but Liu Yang still didn't give up, and roared and pounced on Yan Junli again, this time Yan Junli showed no mercy and shot him directly in the heart. Liu Yang collapsed in a pool of blood, only convulsed twice, and died.
Yang Wenbin still looked at the fallen body of Liu Yang in a daze, and did not react from this sudden death. Yan Junli had already put away his gun and shouted at Yang Wenbin,
"What are you still doing! Call an ambulance, quick! β
Forensic doctor He, who was doused with sulfuric acid, was taken to the emergency room, during which she was never able to regain any consciousness. Yan Junli immediately notified the criminal investigation team and the forensic department to come to the scene, and he and Yang Wenbin followed the ambulance to the hospital to wait for news from Forensic Doctor He.
"Will she be okay?" Yang Wenbin asked in a low voice.
"I hope it will." Yan Junli's whole body became very haggard, he sighed deeply, inserted his five fingers into his hair and tugged it, trying to lift his spirit, but it didn't seem to be very successful, "Otherwise, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life." β
"You ......" Yang Wenbin looked at Yan Junli's side face and said with some hesitation, "And you just killed Liu Yang." β
"yes, it happens from time to time." Yan Junli smirked self-deprecatingly and turned his head, "But it's the first time for you, right?" β
"What? Dead people? Yang Wenbin said, "No, I've seen a lot of corpses." β
"Seeing a corpse and seeing a living person die in front of you is a very different feeling." Yan Junli interrupted Yang Wenbin, his eyes revealing an indescribable emotion, "Especially when this person died in your hands." The first time I shot someone was shortly after I became a police officer, and the gun went off and people died, and then I threw up on the ground. β
"Like in a TV show?" Yang Wenbin asked.
Yan Junli laughed, "It's like in the TV series." That guy really deserves to die, he was a ** rapist with a gun, he tried to attack me, and I shot him in the head. It feels strange to kill someone, and whether that person is guilty or not, you have the feeling that you have done something you shouldn't have done, and that you shouldn't have the right to approve another person's life. But the strangest thing is that you actually have that right. You deprive another human of life, but in that case you are allowed, it's almost like cannibalism. β
Yang Wenbin was silent and did not respond to Yan Junli, his eyes just stared at the black dirt in the hospital corridor.
"I'm sorry, haha......" Yan Junli suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and scratched the back of his head with haha, "I shouldn't have mentioned this at this time, don't care, just think I'm just talking a few words of nonsenseββ"
"It's not." Yang Wenbin suddenly interrupted him and said in a very soft voice, "I feel that way too. β
"What?" Yan Junli was stunned.
"Like you say...... Who are we to judge these people? Yang Wenbin closed his eyes, trying not to recall the scene of Liu Yang being killed by Yan Junli, but the uncontrollable trembling of his palms revealed his feelings, "You're right, the feeling of a corpse and a person dying in front of you is completely different. I think until I saw Forensic He disfigured by sulfuric acid with my own eyes and Liu Yang died in front of me, I was still seeing all this as a puzzle game, which is really ...... Couldn't be more wrong. It wasn't until I saw all this with my own eyes that I suddenly felt that everything I had done was so ridiculous, no matter what reasoning I had made and how many cases I had analyzed, a person was dead and dead, and life was in ashes, and nothing could be recovered. Are we really qualified to try these people, even murderers? These are the things we're doing...... Does it really make sense? β
