Chapter 81: The Doctor's Manor
That night, I was very emotional, and I talked a lot with Bai Jie in front of Bai Lang's tomb, and most of the time I was reminiscing about the past, recalling the scene of those two innocent and cute little children running up and down in the welfare home.
Bai Jie didn't talk much, he only laughed mockingly twice once in a while, I don't know what happened to him over the years to make him what he is today.
He told me more about how many lives had been lost at his hands.
When he described the details in great detail, I didn't feel intimidated.
In my eyes, he wasn't the murderer with blood on his hands. From beginning to end, he was the little kid who cried and didn't want to leave me.
In the end, I said it doesn't matter, I won't blame you even if you want my life now.
He sneered twice and said, "Brother, if you weren't my brother, I would really let you die here, but you are my brother anyway." I didn't intend to kill you from the beginning. You just have a good night's sleep here, wait for those idiot cops to find you, and then you can go home and live your life well! β
He handed me a bottle of water and told me to drink it.
At that time, even if he handed me arsenic, I would drink it.
It is I who owe them, I owe them a good childhood, I owe them the responsibility of an older brother, I owe them the warmth of a loved one.
Before I drank the bottle of water, I persuaded him to stop from the precipice, and it was not too late.
But he smiled, and the smile made me feel that the man in front of me was very strange, was he really the little kid who was chasing after me back then?
He said, "Brother, you are so naΓ―ve, do you think I can get back now?" β
With that, he turned and walked away, walking among the tombstones in the night.
I drank the bottle of water, and I had mixed feelings as I watched the figure fade away from me.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Bai Qiu said this, he covered his face with his hands, and his shoulders twitched slightly with the sound of sobbing.
After a while, he raised his head again, looking sad.
"Officer Yi, I, I'm guilty. Actually, I should have told you the truth a long time ago, but I really can't bear it. Bai Lang, Bai Jie, and all the children who grew up in the welfare home, in my opinion, are like the relationship between biological brothers and sisters. Although Bai Jie is taking a path of no return, I still believe that he is kind, and I want him to go further, I don't want him to be locked up so early. He's still so young, he should have a great life to go on. β
"So, what made you choose to tell me the truth two weeks later?"
"Officer Yi, really, I've been quite tormented and uneasy in the past week. Bai Jie is guilty of murder, and I shouldn't have the idea of covering him up. But the emotions in my heart made me unable to make up my mind for a long time. Until today, the radio news said that he had committed another murder. This is human life, what am I conniving? I'm conniving at a murderer to kill, am I not a murderer like him? β
Yi Tian came out of the interrogation room, and the follow-up matters were handed over to Xu Fan.
Standing in the aisle, looking at this ancient city, he wondered, is there something wrong with Bai Qiu?
From the perspective of the Fa, he is wrong if he does not report it.
From an emotional point of view, is he wrong? He just wanted to protect a younger brother he hadn't seen in years.
The reason why human beings are different from other animals is that people have a rich emotional world, and it is these rich emotional worlds that make our lives have vivid emotional colors.
He couldn't rationally distinguish between right and wrong in Bai Qiu.
Liu Xing called, and he said that after contacting the gas company, he found out that the meter reading range of the No. 5 meter reader was in the two communities of Doctor Manor and Xinmin Garden.
The range is one step closer, which means that Bai Jie must live in these two communities.
There is only one road between Xinmin Garden and Doctor Manor, but they are two apartments of different grades.
Xinmin Garden was built for a longer time, while Doctor Manor belongs to a high-end community.
Yi Tian, Wang Tong, and Liu Xing are visiting Xinmin Garden with a group of police officers.
After Liu Xing answered a phone call, he immediately asked everyone to switch positions, saying that someone had found the clown's trace in the doctor's manor.
In the Dr. Manor community in F City, the police gathered at the garbage station in the community.
Someone found two clown suits here, one of which was still stained with blood, and a bag of blood-red clown noses.
After receiving the alarm, the police station in the jurisdiction immediately sent police to the scene.
In view of the recent serial murders in F City, the scene has the clown's red nose.
The police at the police station did not dare to slack off and immediately notified the Chenglou Branch.
When Yi Tian and his party arrived at the garbage room of the Doctor Manor, the crowd of onlookers around them was already three floors inside and three floors outside.
It's often like this, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, where there's a lot of excitement to see, there are more people.
Two clown costumes, and a bag of clown noses.
Yi Tian's face immediately sank, if this move was deliberately taken by the clown who was still in the garbage room, then he would have already left here.
If he didn't mean it, with such a big battle now, I'm afraid that he would have been startled a long time ago, and he would have finally been so close to the clown, and this time he was afraid that his previous efforts would be wasted.
The old lady surnamed Xu on the 23rd floor of Building 16 of the Doctor's Manor provided a clue that she had met the man in the elevator last night.
The tall man carrying two large bags of garbage, because he had given Mrs. Xu's grandson a clown's red nose.
After the clues provided by the old lady, it was determined that the clown lived on the 18th floor of Building 16.
With a two-family apartment, the police quickly determined that the clown lived in room 1801.
I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
The landlord came and opened the door, but it was really empty.
But everything was still there, and there was a white piano in the living room that was worth a lot of money.
In the bathroom of the master bedroom, the police found some duct tape and rope, it seems that Bai Qiu is right, he has been imprisoned in this bathroom for eight days since he disappeared.
The landlord said that the house was rented through an agent, and the rent was not cheap, but the other party paid a year's rent at a time.
He hadn't seen what the tenant looked like.
The agent took out the rental contract, the name was obviously a fake name, and the ID card was confirmed to be a fake document.
But the agency's employees were still impressed by this person, and they also called up the monitoring of the person who came to rent the house two months ago.
Judging from the surveillance, that person is indeed Bai Jie.
The surveillance in the elevator can see the man who got off the elevator with the old lady.
A fisherman's hat almost covered half of his face, a cunning clown.
By this time, his beard was gone.
It's no wonder that there has been no clue about the carpet for so long.
After throwing the two bags of garbage into the garbage room, he went straight out of the community with his backpack on his back.
After that, there was no sign of him returning from the surveillance.
That is, last night, he ran to the hospital and did something to Peter Wong.
