Chapter 46: The Suspect Is Killed
Following the police car of the task force to the scene of the crime, the nearby police station had taken the lead in sealing off the scene. Everyone worked according to their own duties, and the three of us also separated to look for clues, and got together again half an hour later.
"Well, do you see any clues?" Captain Zhao asked.
"I didn't get any obvious evidence, but I think the killer should have lived nearby." Liu Qingran said.
"How so? Is there any basis for this? Captain Zhao asked.
"There's no basis for it, it's just intuition. Since we have found out the information of more than 1,700 people, let's take this crime scene as a starting point and investigate again. ”
"Well, it's the same from any area anyway, as long as you can catch this bastard quickly." Captain Zhao said, sighed and went to work. The three of us left the scene of the crime, talking as we walked.
"Brother Liu, aren't you intuition, have you found something?" I asked guessingly.
"Of course it's not intuition, just now I sensed a sinister aura in the crowd of onlookers, but it disappeared after ten seconds, maybe it was the person who was mixed in to watch the excitement of the police." Liu Qingran replied.
"If that person is really here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the police to find him!" I said.
"Of course, we can't rely on them alone, so we'll go back to the police station, pick out the list of this area, and then search separately. In our own capacity, we will be much faster than the police. Liu Qingran said, stretching out his hand to hail a van carrying passengers.
By the time I returned to the police station to pick out the relevant information within the scene of the crime, it was already noon. After lunch, they went to their respective areas and searched according to the information.
The information seems to be complete, but when I personally searched for them one by one, I found a big problem. Many people who are marked as disabled are not actually disabled. This makes me speechless, these people are holding state subsidies and are willing to be fake disabled people.
And there are many people who are not at home, and some addresses have not yet found the specific house number, this kind of problem makes me more and more aware of the authenticity of this so-called complete information. In the end, I had to give up the information in my hand and search for it by refining my yang consciousness and hearing sense. Although this may not be able to find the other party, it is better than following the wrong path according to the information.
The search continued until the afternoon, and after six o'clock, Liu Qingran called and said the name of a restaurant, and asked us to meet there, and when we arrived at the place, it was almost dark. He had already ordered the food, and at the dinner table we talked about our respective searches.
The situation of the three of them is similar, and the information that I thought was useful is almost useless, unless someone re-screens it, otherwise it is still equal to nothing. During the day, I relied on my own ability to search, and after dinner, I still planned to continue to search.
After eating, there was good news from Captain Zhao's side, there were eyewitnesses to the case this time. According to the witnesses, on the night of the crime, he could not sleep and stood by the window and smoked. Seeing with his own eyes that in the corner a little farther away, there were two figures hugging each other, and he thought it was a good thing, so he came to look carefully. Later, I really didn't see anything famous, so I went to bed. The next day I heard that someone had died, and that he had died in the corner where he had seen the figure last night.
Captain Zhao said that he was trying to find a way to let the witness recall the relevant details, and asked the three of us if we wanted to go back to the police station to see the situation. Liu Qingran said that he also had some clues here, so he wouldn't be busy going back, and would summarize them together when there was a big breakthrough.
After hanging up the phone, he said to Bai Xuemei: "It's night now, the victim's ghost should be home, let's go over, Captain Zhao said that someone saw them hugging each other, and it was not good that the victim could see the person's appearance clearly, and I would like to trouble you to cast a spell and ask in a while." ”
"It's fine." Bai Xuemei said lightly.
Today, the victim was quickly recognized by onlookers, and his home was a mile away from the scene of the crime. We came to his house and waited for Bai Xuemei to cast a spell to search.
"Brother Liu, why is this evil cultivator suddenly so bright and really harmful, isn't he afraid of attracting the attention of others?" I've been thinking about this since I got this case.
Liu Qingran glanced at me, and then said: "The times are different now, most of the cultivators or evil cultivators almost died in the last war, and then the Cultural Revolution burned a lot of ancient temples, Taoist halls and books. From the invasion of foreigners to the founding of the country, it has been tossed for more than 100 years, and how many sects have disappeared. Nowadays, there are no major sects to restrain cultivators, and this evil art that is easier to practice and easier to obtain power is naturally practiced by more and more people with ill intentions, which is also the reason why the nine divisions were established above. ”
Just as the two of us were chatting, Bai Xuemei took the spell and said, "Okay." ”
"How? Any clues? I asked hurriedly.
"Well, it's a disability, and the right palm is gone." She said.
"Any other information?" Liu Qingran also asked.
"He lives in the village of Huangtian in front of him." Bai Xuemei thought for a while and said.
"Alright, let's hurry over and try to catch this guy tonight." Liu Qingran said happily.
"Brother Liu, are we going to inform Captain Zhao about them?" I asked, following behind.
"No, I'll wait until I really find someone to subdue me."
The three men stopped a passenger car on the side of the road and headed for Huangtian Village. Bai Xuemei communicated with the victim's ghost and learned that the victim had met the man several times in Huangtian Village before his death, and they did not know each other. But now that you have a range, you're not afraid of not finding him.
When we came to Huangtian Village, we scattered and searched for each other, and then gathered together to deal with him after finding him. The street lights in the village are scarce and dim, and it is difficult to see the specific situation. The village is located in a very flat area, it should be said that the whole city of Hezhou is very flat, there are almost no big uphill and downhill, just like the plain.
There are many bungalows, small buildings and blue-tiled houses in the village, and the sound of televisions can be heard from some of the houses. I hid in a dark corner, listened carefully to the movements around me, and after making out all the sounds, I walked a hundred steps forward and continued.
Since breaking through the intermediate level, his Yang Consciousness Refining Body has matured a lot, and he can almost operate it all within three or five seconds. And in the Yin Consciousness Refining Body, I also practice in it every night, and the bow I got recently didn't have time or opportunity to practice during the day, so I went to the Yin Consciousness Realm to practice at night, and after these days, I have mastered the use of it.
An hour later, I checked the time on the electronic watch in my hand, it was almost ten o'clock, and I still hadn't found much. Along the way from entering the village, although I heard a lot of voices that should not be heard, there was nothing about the murderer. I wondered, what kind of voice is the murderer's voice?
It is impossible for the murderer to keep saying that he is the murderer, and he can only judge and scrutinize from a few words. Just as I was about to go to the next location, the mobile phone in my trouser pocket vibrate, and I took it out to see that it was Liu Qingran calling, and it seemed that he had found something.
"Brother Liu, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Come to the south of the village to gather, there is a discovery."
I hung up the phone and used my skills to make a quick move towards the entrance of the village to the south. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they had not yet come, so they waited in place for a while.
"Brother Liu, have you found something?" Seeing him and Bai Xuemei coming, I asked.
"Hmmm! However, he is hiding in the village, and there are villagers around him, in case of a fight, it will hurt the innocent, and it is not easy to start. He said.
"How did you find him?" I asked curiously.
"It's not me, it's Bai Xuemei who found out." Liu Qingran said.
"Then what is Brother Liu going to do?" I continued to ask, but Bai Xuemei still didn't speak.
"Since you have found someone, don't be in a hurry, why don't you stay nearby, keep an eye on him these days, as long as he is alone or when he commits a crime again, you can catch him."
"That's all it can be."
For the next two days, the three of us took turns to monitor his neighborhood. And he never went out, as if he was refining his vitality. The police also investigated Huangtian Village, and as expected, they knocked on the door of the man's house for a while, and when they saw that no one answered, they thought that the person was not in the house, registered and left.
In the next two days, although the police visited again, nothing was found. The man's neighbor said he hadn't seen him for more than a month, and said he had left Hezhou.
We also learned about the person from the police station. This person was originally a factory worker who lost his right palm a year ago due to an accident in the factory. And the boss only gave 2,000 yuan as medical expenses, and the boss fired him because of the injury.
He lost his palm, because he lost his labor force for a while, he didn't get much compensation, and he left him after falling out with his wife. I don't know what he has experienced in the past year, but he actually learned the evil art of absorbing vitality.
"Brother Liu, he was just an ordinary person, how could he have a way to learn evil arts? Did anyone teach him? I looked at the information I got from the police station and asked suspiciously.
"It's really impossible for an ordinary person to come into contact with this kind of thing, unless someone secretly teaches him." Liu Qingran said.
"Why would anyone teach him this? Could it be that he joined some cult? I guessed.
"I don't know, I'll find out when I catch him and ask."
At six o'clock in the afternoon, I went to change Bai Xuemei's class, and the three of us each took turns staring at him for eight hours. We didn't inform Captain Zhao of our plan, and if we did, it would only make things more troublesome.
The place to keep an eye on is on a two-story small building where no one lives, in fact, it can't be called two floors, because the second floor has not been capped, it should be half of the owner's house, because there is no money, so the work is temporarily suspended, this situation is very common in rural areas.
There was no moon or stars in the sky tonight, and I sat cross-legged in the straw-covered attic, watching the movement of the target not far away, as I occasionally heard a few dog barks in the dark village.
Gradually, it felt like it was about twelve o'clock in the evening, and I didn't look at my watch, but just stood up and moved. Suddenly I felt something was wrong, so I stopped my movements and listened carefully.
The man's heart was beating faster, was something wrong? Just when I was wondering, my heart suddenly stopped. I hurried into the courtyard of his house and saw a figure jumping out of the earthen wall.
I also jumped down from the second floor, quickly followed the figure, and ran into the field. At first, I was only about 100 meters away from the other party, but slowly the distance became larger and larger, and I took out my mobile phone to speed dial.
While running extremely fast, I listened to the phone call. "Fenglin, what's wrong?" Liu Qingran asked.
"Someone killed the target, and I'm chasing him." I said quickly, I was already more than 150 meters away from the figure at this time, and if I hadn't been able to hear the movement in front of me, I would have lost it a long time ago.
"Which direction?" He asked.
"It's now northeast of Huangtian Village." He hung up the phone after I said that.
He took back his phone and launched his Yang Consciousness Refining Body with all his strength to chase after him. As soon as he chased more than 300 meters, he lost his tracks, and he couldn't hear the sound at all. But I didn't stop completely, but I used my sense of smell to distinguish the smell.
When I first started chasing him, I had all five senses, and if he fled to a crowded place, it would be difficult to tell by smell. But he fled all the way to the fields, where the smell of the people was much easier to track.
Just as I had been tracking the scent for another two hundred meters or so to the east, I stopped and could already smell that he was not far ahead. Just as I slowly touched the place I felt, suddenly a black gas rose from all around, enveloping me at once, and a woman's voice said.
"It's a great courage to dare to chase so far!" As I spoke, the black air wrapped around me tighter and tighter.
Reaching out and touching it, this yin and evil aura turned out to be almost substantial, and it was cold and piercing to the bone. Don't think about it too much, the Yang Consciousness Refining State quickly cast the Thunder Method, and then slightly opened his mouth to absorb the Yin Qi, while absorbing, while transforming, I don't want to be frozen when facing the enemy.
"I'm so cold that I can't speak! If you send it to the door yourself, don't blame me.... As she spoke, she immediately noticed something, and her tone changed and she said in surprise: "You can actually inhale yin qi into your body, what kind of person are you?" ”
I ignored her, accelerated the absorption and transformation, and my physical energy could clearly feel the rapid increase in aura. She snorted coldly and withdrew the yin qi that had been released, and the soft whip in her right hand was drawn towards me.
As soon as she retracted her yin qi, I also took the initiative to stop absorbing it, just as the whip swung horizontally. I dodged forward and struck her in the chest with a palm of lightning. She flicked the whip in her hand, and it quickly turned back and whipped it at my back.
Reluctantly, he gave up the attack on her chest and dodged the attack to the right. But her left hand was wrapped in black gas and quickly hit me in the face. I watched all her movements, so I raised my right hand to grab her left hand.
Because she was so close to her, she couldn't use her long whip for a while, but her right hand shifted and poked at me with the whip handle. I got into a fight with her, and the two sides fought for dozens of rounds, and many times she let out her yin qi to block the thunderbolt attack.
At this moment, the crape myrtle aura on his body was also rapidly depleting, and he was thinking about how to get out. 'Bang' a gunshot rang out, and I don't know if it hit her, I saw the black gas around her tumbling, turning into a black wind and leaving quickly, and I vaguely heard her say: "Count you kid lucky." ”
I didn't chase anymore, I stood still and watched in the direction she disappeared. Three or five seconds later, Liu Qingran's voice came: "Fenglin, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, but let her run away."
"It's okay if you're okay, tell me what's going on."
