Chapter 8: Capture the Killer at Night

Xu Xiaoming and the two drove all the way to the bustling city by taxi from the suburbs where S University is located, and the atmosphere along the way was particularly depressing, Feng Linwan sat in the back of the taxi alone, as if there was an aura on her body, and she knew that she was angry at a glance, which also made Xu Xiaoming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, not even dare to talk.

Who let him be the one who has just died?

However, there were no accidents along the way, and the two of them arrived at their destination smoothly, which is the busiest commercial street in the northern city. Xu Xiaoming has been in this city for a while, and he is not a stranger to this place, but he is not familiar enough to know it well, and he doesn't know what Feng Linwan plans to take him here for.

And this angry Nizi didn't mean to explain, and after getting out of the car, she left in a certain direction without saying a word, so that Xu Xiaoming, who had just finished paying, had to hurry up and catch up, otherwise she would have disappeared into the crowded crowd here!

Although Feng Linwan is not tall, her pace is not slow at all, she just pouts and walks forward, while Xu Xiaoming can only stride behind. The two shuttled through the busy commercial street one after the other, constantly passing passers-by one after another, and finally got out of the bustling lantern illusion and walked to a relatively dark alley away from the commercial street. However, this is a bustling city center, even the small alleys are lively, and there are many people inside and outside a few small shops.

But such a long silence still made Xu Xiaoming a little impatient, and he couldn't help but speak: "So what is the clue you are talking about?" Why are you here? ”

Hearing Xu Xiaoming's question, Feng Linwan stopped, turned around and asked, "Do you know who the targets Jack the Ripper has chosen?" ”

"Huh? Jack the Ripper? Xu Xiaoming has naturally heard of this incomparably famous killer, and even because of the endless bombardment of film, television, drama and literature in recent years, he has a lot of treasures about the deeds of this world-famous murderer: "The targets he chooses are all ...... Women, women who have a particular cause, women who were drunk that night, who had spoken to a man with a beard and hat before the accident. What do you mean, you say that the killer we are looking for is actually Jack the Ripper? Then we shouldn't come to the city center to look for it, why do you think that this kind of special industry is more near our school, right? ”

"You're familiar, huh?" Feng Linwan glanced at him meaningfully, and did not answer Xu Xiaoming's question directly, but just changed the topic and said, "Then have you heard of the axe killer in New Orleans?" Legend has it that he hated the grocery store run by the Italians, and knocked on the door with an axe at night to kill people. ”

"Haven't heard of it, but does it have anything to do with what we're investigating?"

"Then you'd better go back and take a look at the world's top ten strange cases, maybe you can use it." Feng Linwan said casually, and then walked straight to a shop on the side that had closed the door, this was an ordinary small grocery store, and the name of the store was written in an insincere print with a word that Xu Xiaoming did not recognize. I saw her take out a key from her bosom and say as she opened the door: "That's Italian, it means trap, this is a grocery store, the shop I just rented." ”

"How rich are you from the shop you just bought...... Wrong?! Xu Xiaoming only came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly stopped Feng Linwan's movements, and asked in disbelief, "Wait?" Is this a 'grocery store owned by Italians'? Do you want to wait for the axe killer to knock on your door in the middle of the night? ”

"Yes, that's exactly what I said to the outside world." Feng Linwan stretched out a thumbs up to Xu Xiaoming, and then opened the door of the shop all of a sudden, "Meng Xin, you are very perceptive." ”

Xu Xiaoming looked at the rich and willful little rich woman in front of him dumbfounded, as if he was looking at a mental patient with Guang Leduo, and only after a long time did he follow Feng Linwan into the house, and muttered weakly: "Can you really wait for a rabbit like this?" ”

"Meng Xin, I'm a senior investigator, proficient in kicking the door and making trouble, how can a mere incident of a murderer possessing me be difficult to stop?" Senior Diao Min Feng Linwan picked up the tactical armor that she didn't have at all, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "All you have to do is to watch and study hard, understand?" ”

"Before you shut up, Meng Xin still wants to ask a question......" Xiao Ming, who walked into the Italian grocery store, looked around at the stylish Italian decoration style, and asked expressionlessly: "Senior, how much did you spend on renting here?" ”

The inhuman little rich woman said without any fluctuation on her face: "It's not much, it's just that it took a little money to decorate." ”

"What should I do, I suddenly want to be a little white face, rich woman, can I take back the good guy card from the other day?"

"Huh."

……

At midnight.

The man's bloodshot eyes opened.

His reason slumbered, and a shadow hidden in the sea of his subconscious appeared, taking complete control of his body, and driving him down the street. There was still a wisp of the sweltering heat of the remnant summer, and he slowly exhaled a breath of hot and turbid gas, and naturally stared at the sign of the grocery store in front of him, the Italian word representing the name of the store made a certain part of his personality scream constantly, although the man himself did not know the meaning of the word, but the demonic soul that controlled his body at this time still could not control his hatred.

This hatred had no origin, but it burned the man's heart like a blazing flame, making him angry and calm at the same time. He approached the door of the shop with light steps, and looked at the door lock of the advanced door, a long axe suddenly appeared in the man's hands, and he carried this axe and gently swung it towards the door lock, everything was silent, and the door lock of the grocery store was suddenly broken, and the door was wide open.

The man's distorted face lifted up to look into the dark interior of the shop, a cruel smile slowly appeared on his face, and he took the first silent step, raising the axe in his hand, ready to kill the culprit who ignited the flame of hatred, in order to comfort his newfound second soul.

Then he heard a conversation between a man and a woman:

"So why did you know that this rabbit would bump into it today?"

"Heh, trade secrets."

In the next moment, his right hand holding the axe suddenly suffered a heavy blow, and the man wailed in pain, and his weak wrist had to let go of the axe, and then a skillful hand scooped up the axe, and its owner also appeared in the man's eyes with the moonlight, it was a beautiful girl, without any expression on her face, but it seemed quiet and sacred. The man was stunned, and before the cruelty given to him by the personality could be activated, a strong force came from another direction, and another man pressed him to the ground in one fell swoop, and while he was stunned, he pressed him under him and tied him up with hemp rope roughly!

"Phew, so that he won't lose consciousness and possess other people like he did that day, right?" Xu Xiaoming, who quickly tied up the man, exhaled and looked at Feng Linwan as if he was invited, "How is it?" ”

Feng Linwan glanced at the man who was tied into zongzi, turned her head and sneered at Xu Xiaoming: "You are quite skilled in tying people, who have you practiced on?" ”

"No, let's have a good chat, why are you grabbing the wheel of the car and using it to run my face?"

"Just kidding. Besides, even if it is tied up like this, we don't know if what is attached to this man will disappear. After all, no one knows if the last time you two encountered a general situation or an isolated case, we still know too little. Feng Linwan shook her head, then squinted her eyes at the man on the ground, "This guy attacked a nearby Italian suit shop two days ago, causing a cruel and vicious incident, hacking the owner who stayed in the store to death on the spot. After learning about this, I directly rented this shop to be used as a tree for rabbits, most of this malignant abnormal existence has no awareness of avoiding the limelight, and I looked at it tonight, and I was really fooled. ”

After listening to Feng Linwan's words, Xu Xiaoming's expression was also a little gloomy, he glanced at the man lying on the ground struggling wildly, and pursed his lips with some disgust and scolded: "If we had come a few days earlier......"

"We didn't even know he was around here a few days ago! Remember, don't let feelings cloud your judgment, noob. Feng Linwan shook her head, turned on the light and prepared to take care of the man on the ground, and at the same time handed the axe in her hand to Xu Xiaoming, "Take it, be careful." ”

Xu Xiaoming took the axe, and then was slightly stunned, because the system, which had not moved for a long time, suddenly issued a prompt:

[If the containment conditions are met, will the target Axe Demon of New Orleans be contained?] 】

- Containment conditions met? What did I do and suddenly unlock a new feature? Because of this axe?

- Besides, wouldn't it be a bit bad to contain him at this time, or wait for Feng Linwan to finish the interrogation before taking this demon away?

Just when Xu Xiaoming was still thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door of the store that was not closed tightly, he and Feng Linwan were stunned together, and then looked up in the direction of the store door, only to see a high school student who looked younger than the two of them walked in, his left hand touched a pipe, and his right hand scratched his head, showing a stiff smile at the two of them: "Good evening two, my name is Du Weiyan, it seems that you are in trouble." ”

Xu Xiaoming was still holding the killer's axe in his hand, and the person on the ground who was tied up was still writhing and struggling at this time, to be honest, anyone who saw this scene would think that this was a crime scene. Xu Xiaoming looked at the high school student with some embarrassment, and just when he wanted to explain, the system issued a prompt again:

[Mission Release: Conan Doyle can't kill Sherlock.] 】

[Objective: Contain Sherlock Holmes.] 】

[Reward: Generate a new anomaly containment list.] 】

[Quest Punishment: Assisted by the World's No. 1 Detective...... To be honest, the system suggests that the host has failed outright. 】

Xu Xiaoming was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at the high school student in front of him.

"But thanks to this reckless murderer, I was able to find two." Du Weiyan smiled and spread his hands: "Re-introduction, I'm Du Weiyan, but you can call me Sherlock Holmes." ”
