Chapter 18: The Moonlight Rings Again
Listening to this terrifying and long killing process, Luo Chuan couldn't help but glance back at the broken mirror. The filthy and dried excrement inside was probably the man's last source of nutrition. Such a way of dying has to be said to be extremely cruel.
According to Xie Wenshan's own confession, that man's vitality is very tenacious and his desire to survive is also very strong. Probably because he was young and didn't want to die, except that the voice calling for help was getting weaker and weaker, he actually lived behind the mirror for fifteen or sixteen days. This is beyond Xie Wenshan's imagination, and it may be more than fifteen or sixteen days. Maybe he was just weak and couldn't make a sound anymore.
In the days that followed, Xie Wenshan asked Liu Jing to admire her gorgeous clothes in the closet every day, but in fact, his intention was only to let Liu Jing personally verify whether the young man still had breath. He asked Liu Jing to witness the death process of a long life up close.
From the day the nightmare began, every day Liu Jing stared at the big mirror in the closet in horror, listening to the men's cries for help from the beginning to the end. The voice tortured every nerve of Liu Jing from beginning to end. Every day as soon as it gets dark, Xie Wenshan turns off the lights early. He doesn't speak, only smokes in the corner, or lingers outside the bedroom door. Liu Jing was left alone in the dark to listen to the mournful cry that seemed to be out of nowhere, as well as the faint stench.
As the days passed, Liu Jing finally collapsed in this bedroom. But even though her nerves were already so fragile, she was still forcibly left in this bedroom by Xie Wenshan to spend six months with the dead body through a mirror!
For the first three months, the smell in the bedroom was very bad. Even if the mirror was sealed, the stench of corruption could still be faintly smelled. So, Xie Wenshan studied floral art on a whim, and he bought a lot of flowers and fiddled with them. Gradually, the scent of flowers replaced the smell of corpses. No one could tell that there were actually three people in their bedroom.
Liu Jing was disturbed by guilt, fear, and the restless mood of that night. In the end, as Guan Shan said, she forcibly used her subconscious to protect herself and get rid of the nightmare she had been having for months.
Xie Wenshan's confession saved Luo Chuan a lot of time, and he commanded the police officers and Tian Zhen and others to immediately start checking the corpse and blocking the scene. Although, in half a year, there is no evidence worth protecting this scene.
When the police force came to take Xie Wenshan away, Luo Chuan asked Guan Shan with some curiosity: "Did you think of this result from the beginning?" Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me for help, would you? ”
Guan Shan looked at the withered flower beds in the courtyard, sighed softly and said, "At first, I just thought that Liu Jing's case looked abnormal, as if it was too crazy. So I don't think the person next to her pillow who gets along day and night should be unaware, everything seems so inconsistent. But I didn't expect what happened here to be so tragic... At least I think... None of these three people are worth it. ”
Luo Chuan walked out with Guan Shan and said, "I'm used to being in contact with all kinds of incredible cases all year round. It's just that the man whose identity is still unknown is the worst death I've ever encountered in recent years. I don't know if you can imagine what a cruel torture it is for a person to live in a confined space by eating his own excrement, or even eat himself! Without any weapons, he couldn't even beg for death. In addition, in that mirror, he could clearly see Liu Jing's every move, and hope was outside, but he couldn't touch it. In the end, because of exhaustion, because of suffocation, slowly died. It's not just physical, it's psychological. Xie Wenshan let him watch the hope of life, and finally die of desperate pain. With a death sentence of more than half a month, this Xie Wenshan's psychological pathology is probably enough to be your research object. ”
As the two of them spoke, they walked to the police car that Luo Chuan had parked here before. Luo Chuan subconsciously glanced at it and found that on the front hood of the police car, someone had drawn the shape of a musical note with sand! Seeing the note, Luo Chuan's first reaction was to think of the moonlight murder case!
At this time, Luo Chuan's eyes were full of vigilance, and he looked around, but he didn't find any suspicious people.
Guan Shan also noticed the strange note, so he asked Luo Chuan, "When the police force came, how long did it take for no one to be outside?" ”
"Two minutes at most!" Luo Chuan's face was heavy, because he already felt in his heart that something bad was happening.
"Get in the car and take a look." Guan Shan said, and opened the car door with his sleeve through his hand. This is done so as not to damage the fingerprints on the door handles, but in the light of it, there should be no fingerprints left.
As soon as they closed the door, they all noticed a USB flash drive plugged into the radio station that did not belong to the police car. Luo Chuan looked at the small device in surprise, with an incredible expression. He couldn't imagine that in broad daylight, when there was a small team of police officers in Xie Wenshan's house, someone actually did something in the police car!
Luo Chuan looked at Guan Shan as if he couldn't accept it, but Guan Shan lowered his eyebrows at the moment and looked at the USB flash drive and said very calmly: "At this moment, I think we should all feel the feeling that the police were provoked a year ago..."
Luo Chuan's face was gloomy, he turned on the radio without hesitation, and called up the voice, wanting to hear what was inside this USB flash drive!
As the volume turned on, the melodious piano music slowly came out of the car.
Yes, it's "Moonlight".
Luo Chuan's eyes widened, staring at the USB flash drive, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became solemn. This doesn't seem to be in line with the feeling that Moonlight Song is supposed to give people.
At the end of the song, Guan Shan said softly: "Luo Chuan, he's back." The devil who challenged the law and the police a year ago has really returned. ”
Luo Chuan's breathing at this time was very unnatural, not because he was afraid. But he didn't expect that this case, which was almost a shame in the police world, would really make a comeback a year after the "closure"! And I used to only hear about that terrible demon and that strange case. And this time, it was Luo Chuan's turn to experience it himself. He was a little excited, for his chance to fight that demon in person! But Luo Chuan was also a little worried, because if it was really that person, then the city would fall into hellish darkness. He will use his own transformation, Tai's killing aesthetic, to disturb the original tranquility of the city.
