Chapter 4: Torrents
Hung up the phone, as usual, Xue Zhi took a taxi to the police, understood his previous occupation, and also understood why the staff would come forward to ask for warmth when they saw him, but at this moment, he was full of anger.
"What if my sister is also being persecuted because of me, then I am sacrificing all my skills to avenge her? One day, stir up the storm of a city, that's it. ”
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
As soon as the door of the police station arrived, Xue Zhi opened the car door, handed over the tip, signaled to wait for a few minutes, and walked quickly to John's office.
"John?"
"Well, I'm here. Anyway, why did you come to me this time? ”
"The identity of the deceased has come out, right?"
"It's out...... Why do you ask this? ”
"Give me a list of his dependents."
"No, family...... How can you do it, family, they are all innocent! ”
"Hmph, this kind of activity, what do you think...... Will the identity of the dependents be real? I should be temporarily reinstated, and I ask for the right to investigate this case! ”
"What's the use of that...... Well, it seems that you and your parents really won't settle out of court, right...... Well, don't go overboard, I can't save you. This is your job as a detective, go ahead, find out the real murderer, no matter who it is, I can't protect you, the big guy can. ”
Without replying, Xue Zhi flipped up the lid of the lighter, lit a cigarette, took a beautiful puff, and walked out the door.
"Alas...... Still so...... Sure enough, I have amnesia, his father asked me to come to me, isn't it because ...... I'm his boss......" Looking at Xue Zhi, who was slowly walking out, John opened his pocket watch and looked at a note in it, as if he had made up his mind. Well, that's it, he can't have an accident.
Xue Zhi sat in the waiting taxi and flipped through the information in his hand, huh...... Living in a slum, or ...... The one on Twelfth Avenue looks ...... Life is really bad.
And...... The murderer's "sons" are basically in high school, and the murderer himself is not much in his early thirties, so it would have been excusable if it was a small probability event, but he actually had a poisonous tooth in his mouth, and he had deliberately done a good job of drunk driving cover after drinking, and he didn't even know if his drinking friend was a good person, how could it be his real identity.
Xue Zhi got out of the car and saw the dilapidated slum. The low house, the dirty and smelly, the garbage piled up everywhere, and the old lady who had rotten hands and still sat in the same place and gobbled up a gray-black unknown object.
And, what about the "murderer"?
The wall skin is peeling, or it is not there in the first place. Between the few broken red bricks, there were uneven patches of mud. Roof? What else do you expect to have that kind of thing?
A shabby canvas is blocking the sunshine of this family, just like a bad background blocks the hope of a good life for the family.
There was a knock on the door, but after only two knocks, the dilapidated wooden door tugged at the deadbolt, revealing a dilapidated view inside.
During the work period, there was not a single young adult at home, only a middle-aged woman who looked almost "old woman" and a dirty little boy at home...... If he hadn't known that the clerical staff were a bunch of reliable guys, he would have almost slapped the file on John's face, stepped on a two-legged stool by the way, and shouted, "Are you blind? Forty-five? It's no problem for me to be a grandmother! ”
"Simon Jon, in his mid-thirties, uh, jobless vagrant, with a lot of gambling debts...... It's just ...... It's simply a classic bad dad image, and he often uses a van to pull seafood to make extra money...... It's your man, right? ”
Hear this...... The woman's expression seemed to change all at once......
"Impossible, impossible...... How could he still be in ...... How could he still be in ...... I didn't kill him, it's none of my business! It's none of my business! Ignoring the boy who was playing with the cockroaches next to her, the woman went straight in the direction of a stinking ditch.
"Hey, madam, what are you ......" said, and he didn't care about asking anything, Xue Zhi also pulled out and quickly rushed in which direction.
Looking at the woman who leaned down and stroked what was crying, Xue Zhi also squatted down together and looked down.
Well, a dry skeleton with cobwebs growing on it, and there were only a few maggots crawling on it......
This one...... Please forgive me, there is no need to call a forensic doctor at all, the bones have long been smashed by some garbage, stones, and even children will smear mud on them, and the time of death is determined by me, definitely more than the twenty-four hours and forty-eight hours of the cheating father, if you can see what kind of corrupt giant view or something at the beginning, count me as losing......
What are you......
Archaeological excavations?
"Uh, ma'am, may I ask what this is?"
"A year ago, I fell into the ditch and didn't have it, don't blame me...... It's nothing to do with me......" The woman wiped a few more handfuls on her face, as if to wipe away a tear that didn't exist.
Well, good acting. Xue Zhi gave a pertinent evaluation.
"Hmph...... He's dead? Why shouldn't I tell the police? Madam, your acting skills still need to be improved. Why do you keep moving your eyes down and looking out into the room? Oh yes, I remember, over there, but there's still a ...... A little boy who can't keep a secret in his mouth...... Don't say anything else, don't report what you know, he's your husband...... We have a saying in China, 'The mouth of the green bamboo snake is the needle on the tail of the wasp.' It's both, it's the most poisonous woman's heart. ’”
Then, in Xue Zhi's stunned eyes, the woman seemed to ...... Chewed something...... "Gaba" sounded, hung up.
It's not that the killer is weak-willed, you know, "Xue Zhi", that is a notorious figure in the criminal world of Ben Dao. Really, fighting against criminal figures, this detective runs much faster than SWAT.
It's really a tricky person in the police system.
As if remembering something, Xue Zhi rushed directly to the side of the hut, a few points faster than in the hospital. However......
Shots rang out. Sniper rifle bullets, on the other hand, usually fly much faster than bullets.
All in all......
The little boy is about the same, alas......
Even so small, don't let it go?!
How so?
Clenched his fists tightly, Xue Zhi only felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
He always knew that there was another person inside, but it rarely bubbled. It's like the last time my sister had an accident. But even that person, even that person, how can he take a bullet empty-handed?
(Hey, I'm actually really good)
"Sir, I'm messed up." A phone call was made to John, Xue Zhi lowered his head slightly and sighed.
Or is it too slow to react and beyond the reach of force. But this world is so real, everything is in this rule......
(Will I fly, believe it or not?) )
"It's okay, tell me about the situation......"
"The situation? What can I have, what can I do? Two unidentified dead people here, and an innocent child? ”
"Calm ......"
"What am I calming down? Yes, I'm amnesia. My view of good and evil is still there, even though I didn't have any feelings before, but I have it now, can't I? I haven't had any prefrontal lobotomy...... Why? Why? By what right will it affect me? ”
"Alas, you, too, are innocent,...... You can't understand this kind of thing. ”
"Really......"
"Hurry up and go abroad, everything that should be done."
"Really...... How could it be...... I'm not done yet......"
"Nothing, nothing...... The other party wants to harm your sister, we will never let the other party ......"
After taking a suffocation of a cigarette, Xue Zhi called a taxi.
"I'm not going to give up for the time being. Twelve hours to go, I ...... I won't ...... yet."
"Alas, almost, it's almost dinner, you haven't rested for twenty-four hours, come back."
"Yes......" looked up, glanced at his watch, and thought about it, there was still a line.
That's right, the place where you drank the other day.
However, there must be no clue to where it is. The clue, naturally, is almost broken. The son who is studying outside is basically not left now.
This terrible character, this terrible efficiency, and the completeness of this cleanup, the supervision of one link after another, and the style of not giving the other party a chance, this feeling is very familiar. Presumably, before I lost my memory, I also ...... with each other What's going on, Conan...... At present, I don't know the enemy friend, no, there is no enemy friend, and I am the ant between the ants. The other party doesn't want to touch him, and the reason is unknown. Otherwise, why aim the gun at the child and not at yourself? I can't dodge bullets yet.
It's not an urban ability.
So in this case, the unknown under this black fog,......
Hope isn't something supernatural. However, in the midst of all this, there is also the loss of memory, something that almost modern technology does not have to think about...... How can there be such a thing as erasing memory?
Xue Zhi seems to be reasoning, but it seems to be escaping reality.
He stood up, brushed the dust off his body, and walked to the hut. I hope that through bullet comparison, something can be investigated, but this is also very little. After all, the other party has been arrogant to the point that he has not even installed a muffler.
Tear it open, the little dilapidated door.
Walked into the hut and looked at the boy shivering and lying on the ground......
One in a thousand, odds?
Perhaps. One hit misses, and it is thousands of miles away. This kind of old-fashioned killer code, the other party will actually abide by it.
"What's your name?"
"To...... Toby. ”
"Well, are you hungry?" "Yes...... Somewhat. "Let's go, uncle will take you to eat ......" "Woo, mom, dad, there was a quarrel, it was ruined, my brother was pushed to the road, and my dad was thrown into the ditch...... Okay, it's scary, woo......"
Picking up Toby, Xue Zhi seemed to have found something again.
The possibility of the other party's intention is not ruled out, but ...... Why did you miss it?
Why did you subconsciously forget to be the first time to go to the scene as a detective should do? Myself...... It seems to be more and more like a person, and moreover, will use such a thing as reason, this is not oneself, this seems to be another self.
Come on, there's more people here.
Looking at the bullets that hit the ground and went deep, he immediately recognized that it was...... Large-caliber bullets! It's still the kind of special, manually polished, then the other party should be a professional killer, and then shoot directly and miss, unlike the style of this kind of person, this kind of person usually strives to be safe and never does anything wrong......
But who is going to stop this shot?
Picking up the boy, Xue Zhi quickly walked to a taxi on the side of the road that had not yet stopped, pulled open the passenger seat and got in.
"Hurry up and go to the Apocalypse Star Bar, that is, the ...... two blocks outside the police station"
