Although everyone is in a hurry to solve the case, the police officers are not ironclad. Luo Chuan arranged some tasks for several investigation teams, and let everyone rest. He himself really needs to have a good rest, otherwise I am afraid that he will no longer have the energy and physical strength to fight wits and courage with criminals. The repeated fierce battles made Luo Chuan physically and mentally exhausted.

It's just that everything is as Luo Chuan expected, just thirty hours after Li Changquan was killed, another official was killed. And the person who died this time was not an official from Wusong County, but a deputy director in charge of education in the city, named Zhang Sheng.

Luo Chuan wanted to call Guan Shan, but remembered that he had said that he was going to Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital, and after hesitating, Luo Chuan still didn't look for Guan Shan. Anyway, Guan Shan was originally a "friendly helper", he was not from the criminal police team, he had his own career and private affairs to do, and he always bothered him day and night, Luo Chuan felt a little unhappy in his heart. And recently, I don't know why, except for when Guan Shan was handling cases with Luo Chuan, he spent almost most of his time in Qingshan Hospital. This made Luo Chuan more and more curious, who was admitted to Qingshan Hospital to make Guan Shan care so much? The importance of this person to Guan Shan seems to be far greater than the case he is bent on solving.

It's just that at the moment of the murder, Luo Chuan has no time to think about Guan Shan's recent rather mysterious performance, so he can only take people to the place of the incident first.

In this way, Luo Chuan took Ke Xue, Tian Zhen, and the members of the task force in charge of this case to the scene of Zhang Sheng's murder. Although this place is not as exaggerated and magnificent as Li Changquan's house, it is also a high-end community in the middle of the noise. The people who live here are either rich or expensive, and the cars in the garages of every family are luxury cars. The large room spacing and quiet environment allow the people living here to have a good privacy. But again, the difficulty of obtaining evidence will increase.

When I came to the door of Zhang Sheng's house, the first thing I saw was a few bloody footprints at the door, with the tips of my toes facing the inside of the door. Luo Chuan glanced down and asked the police officer on the side, "Who is this footprint?" Is it the victim's? ”

The police officer was surprised and said, "How do you know Team Luo?" We suspected the murderer at first! After comparing for a long time, I finally found out that it was the deceased! It seems that he is already injured outside the door, so why not run out and ask for help, and still have to enter the house? ”

"Someone must be behind him and won't let him run out, what's going on inside?" Luo Chuan poked his head out and took a look, but he didn't find the body in the living room.

The officer pointed to the house and whispered, "Take a look!" Fortunately, the inhabitants of this place do not like to see the excitement, otherwise the streets and alleys would have to spread tomorrow. ”

Luo Chuan led people into the room, and a smell of blood came to his face. Compared with the previous murder scene of Li Changquan's house, the smell of blood here is obviously heavier.

The living room looked calm, everything was neatly arranged, and the room was well organized, not like there were signs of a fight. Bloody footprints stretched from the doorway to the bedroom, and it seemed that the body should be in the bedroom.

Luo Chuan walked to the bedroom door and finally saw the corpse. Ke Xue and Tian Zhen, who were following behind, also gasped at this moment.

Ke Xue couldn't help but whisper: "This poop guy seems to be getting more and more bloody......

The corpse sat on its back on a special wooden chair in the middle of the bedroom, its mouth and jaw torn and a long telescope stuffed into its mouth. The torn face, even the back row of teeth are exposed. The size and thickness of the telescope are absolutely impossible to fit into a person's mouth. So although there is no specific autopsy, Luo Chuan basically thought that the deceased's obstructive front teeth should have all been smashed out.

In addition, the arms of the deceased were tied to the armrests on both sides of the wooden chairs, and under the left and right arms were two wooden barrels that were not too small and small, which were padded with books, and the height was such that the hands of the deceased Zhang Sheng were just soaked in the water of the wooden barrels. A bucket full of scarlet blood water makes people look at it in a frightening way.

The original snow-white walls of the room were painted with a lot of flowers and stars, as well as the sun and moon with smiling faces. If it weren't for the fact that this "paint" was blood, the paintings would look as childlike as kindergarten.

Tian Zhen walked to the corpse, took out the deceased's arms from the bucket, looked at them separately, and then said to Luo Chuan: "Team Luo, the deceased had a wound of about seven centimeters on both hands and wrists, the wound was neither deep nor shallow, the vein ruptured, and then it was put into a bucket filled with warm water...... He was bled alive. ”

Ke Xue squatted on the ground while collecting physical evidence, and said in surprise: "Tian Zhen, what about the telescope in his mouth?" Being bled to death, this is too vicious! If it were me, I would rather be poked to death by a telescope. ”

Tian Zhen carefully took out the telescope in the deceased's mouth, but the corpse mortis had already formed, even if Tian Zhen took out the telescope, the deceased still maintained the posture of extremely upturned head, with his mouth wide open, very terrifying.

Tian Zhen looked at the telescope in his hand and said in disbelief: "In my opinion, any way to die may not be comfortable." Team Luo, you see, this telescope must be at least 40 centimeters long. In this way, it was stuffed into the mouth and throat of the deceased, and it is estimated that the esophagus is broken. No wonder he could only tilt his head up, because his neck was held up by a telescope. ”

"Are there any fatal wounds?" Luo Chuan was used to such a murder scene, and although he was also shocked in his heart, it was not so strong in the end, because he knew who the criminal he was facing.

Tian Zhen carefully examined it again and said, "There is a knife wound on his thigh, but the blood has coagulated, and it is not a fatal injury." If the bloody footprints outside the door just now were really deceased, then his thigh might have been injured at the door. Elsewhere, no signs of poisoning have been found, and no obvious fatal injuries have been observed. Although the telescope in his throat will tear his jaw, rupture his esophagus, and cause him to die, it will never be fatal. The wounds on the two arms and wrists are also handled very accurately, and only by soaking in warm water all the time will the blood not coagulate, and the blood will continue to flow. So...... Although he had been suffering greatly from the inability to die, he was eventually bled to death. ”

Although Li Changquan was nailed to his eyelids with a stapler, he was finally pierced through his heart by a sharp weapon and died. And this Zhang Sheng was tortured from beginning to end, and finally bled to death. There are only two possibilities, either in the eyes of criminals, this Zhang Sheng deserves to die more than Li Changquan, or his murder methods in this case have begun to escalate. Look at this wall full of blood paintings, he painted with the blood of the dead, and must have spent some time with the dead here. However, it has still not been discovered. Luo Chuan stood by the wall, looked at the weird "Sun Father", and said to himself.

Ke Xue asked at this time: "Team Luo, I always hear that criminals will upgrade their killing methods, what does this mean?" Will they also evolve? ”

Luo Chuan thought for a while and said: "To put it in layman's terms, it's just getting more and more incomprehensible." Look at this telescope, in Li Changquan's place, he still penetrated his chest, then expanded the wound, and finally put it into the telescope. But here, the mouths of the deceased were all smashed, and the jaws were torn. It is obvious that the murderer's anger has escalated, but we still don't know why he is angry. By the way, did you find any music boxes at the scene? ”

As soon as Luo Chuan finished asking, Ke Xue took down a music box from Zhang Sheng's award cabinet and said, "Yes, yes, Team Luo, it's hidden in his pile of awards!" If I wasn't tall, I wouldn't have noticed! ”

Luo Chuan walked over, took the music box and looked at it. The same merry-go-round, the same moonlight sonata, this music box is almost exactly the same as Li Changquan's house. Just as the music was about to stop, a note spit out from the box, in the same printed font, that read: I have a long telescope that can reach into your mouth to see if your mouth is a lie or a sharp blade.

It's the same grammar as Li Changquan's note, but this time's prompt seems to be much clearer than the last time! In Li Changquan's place before, he also mentioned the telescope, but he wanted to talk about seeing if his heart was red or black, so it must be difficult to guess what he did with a black heart. But this time Zhang Sheng, presumably he is out of trouble! will be forced into the telescope from the mouth.

Ke Xue looked at Luo Chuan puzzled and asked, "Team Luo, I remember that this murderer also left a sentence in that villa for the first time, saying that all channels for human beings to make money are sinful. You told us at the time that it was a famous quote. So what kind of telescope is this, is it also a famous quote, but it was adapted by him? ”

"I don't know, at least I haven't heard of it. Xiaoxue, you immediately investigate this Zhang Sheng and see if he has ever said anything special in public. Luo Chuan said.

But Ke Xue was a little embarrassed and said: "Team Luo, look at what is written here, you want to see if what he is saying is a lie or a sharp blade." The blade can understand, it may be something that will hurt people. What about lies? How do you let me check this? He's an official, and he probably doesn't look like a good official now, so it's definitely normal to run the train with his mouth full! If he has a lot of lies, where do we start? ”

Ke Xue's question was also a question, Luo Chuan looked carefully near the award cabinet for a while and said, "This person looks quite prestigious in the education industry, and he has won a lot of awards." After speaking, Luo Chuan looked back at the reddish-brown bloodstained pictures on the wall, there were flowers and grass, the sun and the moon, and it did look a bit like something in school.

So, Luo Chuan frowned and speculated, "Could it be something related to school?" ”

Ke Xue shook her head on the side and said, "Won't it?" If you look at this scene and the way of death, it is obvious that the county magistrate of Wusong County and this Zhang Sheng died at the hands of one person. You said that the reason for their killing should be related. So, this Zhang Sheng is an official in education, but what does the county magistrate have to do with education? ”

As soon as Ke Xue's words fell, the Wusong County police officer who was collecting traces of footprints at the bedroom door spoke.

"Team Luo, that County Magistrate Li once donated two elementary schools. There is also a kindergarten for disabled children, and a kindergarten for left-behind children...... He was praised for a while! ”

This breakthrough discovery allowed Luo Chuan to finally begin to have a direction. First a county magistrate who donated to several schools, and now an official of the education department, there must be something dark between them that has been discovered by the murderer. And the blood paintings on the wall, the music box of the merry-go-round, everything seems to have something to do with children! Therefore, all investigations should now focus on the school donated by Li Changquan and the campus under the jurisdiction of Zhang Sheng.

Tian Zhen, who had been silently doing an autopsy next to the corpse, suddenly asked: "Then what does all this have to do with the telescope?" Team Luo, although the moonlight song and the music box, are the representative symbols of this case. But the telescope is the main sign of this case. I haven't seen a telescope used in the murder method, and the main thing the murderer wants to express must be a telescope. I see you, no matter what direction you have, you still have to figure out what the hell is going on with this telescope. ”

Luo Chuan nodded and praised Tian Zhen and said, "That's right, what Tian Zhen said is very reasonable. Although the purpose of the existence of the music box is to play the moonlight song, in my opinion, the more important purpose is to use the clockwork to spit out the note. The content on the note is the key point of the murderer. His long telescope is likely to go on to kill the next person, and we must pay attention to all the evidence related to the telescope as we investigate those schools. ”

Luo Chuan's words and the major discoveries on the scene finally boosted morale, and after being at a loss, they finally saw some hope. Everyone continued to investigate Zhang Sheng's death scene with great enthusiasm, even if it was a hair or a fiber, they carefully collected it, and prepared to return to the police force for testing to see if it would be related to the murderer.

After Tian Zhen's initial autopsy, the police carried Zhang Sheng away. All that was left was the bloody wooden chair and the two buckets filled with blood next to it.

Luo Chuan squatted down, gently lifted the wooden chair to a corner, looked at the surrounding bloodstains, and then said: "This semicircular bloodstain should be the blood dripping from Zhang Sheng's thigh injury, but half of it is missing." This proves that the chair was originally here, and Zhang Sheng came in later, and the blood dripped half on the chair and half on the ground, so the half of the blood around the chair foot was formed. This murder scene was arranged by the criminal at the beginning, and he himself set up chairs and barrels here, and waited for Zhang Sheng to return home here with binoculars and music boxes...... When he found out that Zhang Sheng was back, he went to the door to ambush again. After stabbing him in the leg from behind and making him unable to move, he was forced to enter the house and sit on the death table......"
