Chapter 35: The Invisible Man
"What did you say?" Zhou Qing suddenly came to his senses, and rushed to the blue-haired boy, excited.
"It's Fu Ancheng." The blue hairy lips moved slightly, and there was a layer of melancholy in his eyes, "It must be him, our head slept with his girlfriend, and in the underground rock competition a few days ago, we robbed them of the first place, it must be him." β
The gushing flames were extinguished instantly, and Zhou Qing turned his head angrily, it turned out that it was just speculation, but in this way, they at least had a suspect, Jing Haojia's death was so miserable, and the possibility of vendetta could not be ruled out.
"I ...... I don't think it's him, it should be Wen Bin, yes, it's Wen Bin, it must be him. "The green-haired head leaned over, the crisp voice, and the baby-faced face didn't look like a rock singer, but like a student.
How did a child who was born take this road of no return? Zhou Qing felt sorry for a while, but he didn't expect that he was more than ten years behind them, and the difference in the times had created a generation gap.
"Who is Moon Bin?" Not daring to miss any clues, Zhou Qing frowned and asked cautiously.
"It's our band's original guitarist," Green Hair took a deep breath, with a look of sadness on his face, and said regretfully: "A few years ago, Wen Bin was arrested and put in the bureau for drug possession - ah no police station." Looking at Zhou Qing with trembling eyes, the green hair looked frightened.
"It's fine." Zhou Qing squeezed out a smile and pretended to be relaxed.
The green hair was still in that trembling posture, swallowed and salivaed: "At that time, Wen Bin and the boss had a very good relationship, to be honest, we also doubted whether the boss also took * drugs with Wen Bin, Wen Bin chose to bear it alone for the development of the band." When Wen Bin came out a few days ago, it stands to reason that we have to reserve a seat for him, but after so many years, the band has formed a new style, and there is no place for Wen Bin at all. β
The air in the museum is not dirty, but the smell of the sea water that permeates the surroundings is damp and salty, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Qing suppressed his irritability, thought for a moment, stabilized his mind and spoke again: "Are there any other objects of suspicion?" β
"Ahh The red hair suddenly exclaimed, "By the way, there is another person, that and that ......."
"That's handsome."
"I didn't expect to see them in person."
"But the best thing to look at is the lead singer."
......
Whispers rang out from the azure uniforms, and the weak sound waves, once combined, created an uncomfortable noise.
"Please be quiet!" With a cold snort, Qian Hao's expression was solemn, and his sharp eyes swept over the past, which unexpectedly made people feel awe.
Is this also "handsome"? Zhou Qing almost didn't understand the aesthetics of young people.
The most grandiose museum wall clock of the October Festival, the gorgeous and eye-catching band lead singer, the murderer, is it a provocation? Xiao Ning frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Yesterday afternoon, a dead old man was teasing Brother Jing and was punched on the bridge of the nose by our Brother Jing." The red hair's words are amazing.
His eyes widened in astonishment, Zhou Qing scratched his head, becoming more and more irritable, "Young man, you think too much, no, and you are not all gentlemen, what are you afraid of?" β
In an instant, the entire venue fell into an awkward silence, and Zhou Qing raised his head in confusion, not knowing what he had said wrong.
The glowing mobile phone screen is handed to the eyes, and on the page is a beautiful and moving face, with a deep outline, a pair of eyes that look like a certain actress in Europe and the United States, a delicate nose bridge, thin and moist lips, and long black hair draped to the waist.
"This is our Brother Jing."
Gentlemen? Zhou Qing and Qian Hao glanced at each other, and the two of them saw the shock in each other's eyes at the same time, and the miserable appearance of Jing Haojia's corpse suddenly appeared in their minds.
The whole face is drawn into fish scales, and the other party must have a deep hatred for Jing Haojia, or years of jealousy, so that no matter how much the risk of being discovered, he will also destroy this beautiful face.
Saying sorry, Zhou Qing said again: "Did Jing Haojia say that he wanted to come here yesterday?" β
"Having said that, after the performance, fireworks suddenly went off in the sky, and on a whim, Brother Jing said that he wanted to find a place with a good view to take pictures."
The red-haired words once again made the police fall into confusion, on a whim?
After thanking him, Zhou Qing came to the group of staff and asked in a loud voice, "Who was in charge of the vicinity of the rooftop and the fourth floor yesterday?" β
Several people stood up, their panicked faces reflected in the dim light, and their dazed appearance made Zhou Qing's heart twitch instantly.
This group of people doesn't know nothing, does it?
After a moment of interrogation, the result was just as Zhou Qing expected, the murderer was like an invisible person, leaving no trace at all.
Monitoring, staff, what means does the other party use to avoid the eyes of everyone and machines?
......
7:40 p.m., conference room of the Municipal Police Department.
The atmosphere was depressing, the carbon dioxide exhaled from dozens of people filled the enclosed space, and the helplessness of the case weighed everyone out.
"Xiao Li." A hoarse voice floated out of Zhou Qing's throat, he had visited many places today, and he was exhausted.
Walking on stage with a familiar car, Xiao Li turned on the projector, and the beautiful face that made women jealous appeared on the screen again.
"The deceased's name is Jing Haojia, the lead singer of an underground rock band, and he is also a second-rate Internet celebrity, with a lot of salary and no financial disputes; is single, has no lovers and ambiguous objects, but he has had many dealings with fans and married women, and the possibility of love murder is not ruled out; According to the investigation, the deceased also had conflicts with several people, and the possibility of vendetta is high, and the current suspects are Fu Ancheng, Xu Wenbin, and Huang Daguang. β
The picture on the projector changed, and a rather handsome face appeared, with delicate lines, about twenty-five or sixteen years old.
Fu Ancheng, who is also the lead singer of an underground rock band, is in competition with Jing Haojia's band, in addition, Jing Haojia also had an inappropriate relationship with Fu Ancheng's ex-girlfriend. According to the investigation and confession, Fu Ancheng was drinking at home alone on the day of the crime, and there was no alibi. β
The dim light made people drowsy, and everyone in the criminal police brigade who had been busy all day was so tired that they couldn't open their eyes, and a man with heavy makeup suddenly appeared on the screen, with pink hair and smoky makeup, and the impact of the picture instantly woke everyone up.
The muscles on his face twitched slightly, Xiao Li suppressed the emotion of wanting to complain, and said step by step: "This is the second suspect, Xu Wenbin ....."
Chapter 36: Long Sleeves Good Dancing
The so-called case analysis is basically the same as what Zhou Qing visited before, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, Xiao Ning's brows were twisted.
Is there a boundary between dreams and reality? In the nightmare of death and desolation, is everything that happened to him real?
"This person's name is Huang Daguang, a coal boss, a few days ago came to Changnan City to play, on the day of the crime, he saw the color, molested the deceased, was punched by the deceased and broke the bridge of his nose, holding a grudge. Huang Daguang claimed that he was treating his wounds alone at the time of the crime, but according to the surveillance, we found that he had followed the deceased to the entrance of the museum, and he was currently the most suspected. β
Xiao Li finished all the case analysis in an orderly manner, and then Zhang Yu took the initiative to step forward without waiting for Zhou Qing to speak.
"According to the cell condition of the corpse and the degree of decomposition, the time of death can basically be determined at about ten o'clock in the evening, the fatal wound is in the neck of the deceased, and the measurement results show that the murder weapon is a smooth blade of about three inches, similar to the commonly used fish knife on the market, and before death, the murderer had scratched the face of the deceased and tortured to death."
A hand was raised from the audience, "If you have any questions, may I ask if there is a wound in the deceased's mouth?" Since it was tortured to death, Jing Haojia should have shouted for help or even resisted before he died, right? β
Zhang Yu shook his head, his face was also dazed, "No, this is also where we are puzzled, the deceased and the murderer did not have any conflict. β
"Are you stunned?" The detective asked again.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yu's brows jumped, he nodded, shook his head and said: "There is indeed alcohol in the deceased's body, but according to the investigation results, the deceased drank alcohol before going to the museum, if the murderer really used this method, then his premeditation and calculation ability are too terrible, even if we professionals, it is impossible to control the dose to such a subtle level." β
"Above." After everyone finished analyzing, Zhou Qing came to the stage and gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words, this time the case was even more weird, and he immediately thought of that person - Hyde.
It's like a ghost from hell, hiding in a corner that no one can see, and treating the whole world as its own plaything.
Unforgivable.
"Team Zhou! The news is out. The eager voice suddenly sounded, Qian Hao held his mobile phone, his face solemn and unhappy.
Walking quickly to Qian Hao's side, Zhou Qing leaned down and fixed his eyes.
With a bang, a kick on the table leg, Zhou Qing's eyes widened, and he roared angrily: "This kid wants to go to heaven!" β
Everyone turned on their mobile phones, and the freshly baked articles became headlines on major website platforms in Changnan City.
"The Song of the Kraken - The Mysterious Death of the October Festival!"
Li Ke's kid didn't know how to get a photo of Jing Haojia, his beautiful face and tragic death instantly attracted the attention of netizens, and the horror legend deliberately created was naΓ―ve and full of loopholes, but it was enough for those who were curious.
The director's office was even more depressing than the conference room, and Zhou Qing felt an itch in his throat, almost suffocating.
To his surprise, this time the fat director didn't get angry, but poured him a cup of Tieguanyin, and said earnestly: "You bear with it first, Chairman Zhang is a model for us in Changnan City, I know that the news is ridiculous, so you can follow him for the time being." β
Pursing his lips, Zhou Qing picked up the hot cup, his tongue subconsciously scratched around the side wall of his mouth, and his eyes were cold.
"Patronizing him, what about the other citizens? Just because of his interests, what if other citizens are in danger again? β
"Okay," the fat director obviously didn't want to continue with Zhou Qing on this topic, his eyes pointed to the door, and he ruthlessly issued an eviction order, "You go and solve the case." β
After a few days, there was still no progress in the case, and Zhou Qing and others soaked in the police station all day long, with a circle of stubble on the corners of their mouths.
All three suspects have been interrogated, and the results have not been satisfactory.
"I killed Jing Haojia? Don't be kidding," on the day of the interrogation, Fu Ancheng looked surprised, according to Lin Xiyang's analysis, it was not a fraud, "The relationship between me and Jing Haojia is not as bad as the other members of their band imagined, during the New Year's holidays, we both live together, I don't believe I can call the phone record to show you." β
"What about your ex-girlfriend?" Zhou Qing's facial muscles twitched, what kind of chaotic relationship was this.
"It's just a lie, Mr. Policeman, you don't believe it, do you? Okay, let me go, my good buddy is dead, and I feel bad. β
After the follow-up, whether it is the phone records or the monitoring of previous years extracted by Xiao Ning, it shows that what Fu Ancheng said is true, and he and Jing Haojia are indeed good friends.
Of course, he also lied - the fact that he was green is undeniable.
And when Xu Wenbin was interrogated, Zhou Qing was even more surprised, he looked very haggard, his eyes were red, and he had obviously cried for a long time.
"Haojia said that the current band has stabilized, if I go back to the other members of the band and fans will be unfair, he plans to form a two-person band with me, there are fewer people, and it is easier for me to warm up, we even made a sample, I didn't expect it, I didn't think of it......"
This is not a lie, Lin Xiyang observed intently in the monitoring room, and did not find a single loophole, and later Qian Hao took Jing Haojia and Xu Wenbin's computers to Xiao Ning, and after several tosses, Xiao Ning wiped out a clear timeline in the recording file, all of which matched.
As for Huang Daguang, it made Zhou Qing even more angry, this greasy middle-aged man who obviously looked like a local tyrant also looked sorry and painful, like a dead daughter-in-law.
"Although I followed Haojia to the museum that dayβ"
"Please don't call the deceased by name like that." Zhou Qing looked at Huang Daguang's lewd gaze and couldn't help interrupting the exit.
Licking his lips in cringe, Huang Daguang continued to say sadly: "After I arrived at the door, I was very angry and wanted to teach him a lesson, but he told me that he beat me to prevent fans from being angry, and my appearance would definitely make fans riot, and he gave me his contact information, don't believe me." β
What Huang Daguang said is true, and the contact information is also true, but the phone number is fake.
After this interrogation, all the suspects' suspicions were cleared, and the results showed that Jing Haojia was not only an enemy and a conflict object, but even a long-sleeved panacea.
With a beautiful appearance, a good career, and an ability to deal with people beyond ordinary people, who would want to attack such a perfect person, and even draw that face that can be called a miracle of the creator?
Chapter 37: Come With Me
Night.
The autumn wind was whining, the cold rain was in his arms, and the cold and biting liquid crossed his warm neck, Xiao Ning looked around blankly, and couldn't help but shiver.
The dream reappeared, and this time with which poor man would he meet?
Surrounded by exotic buildings, Gothic-style street lamps emit a misty cold light, and the air is cold and damp, still familiar with the salty smell.
It was still the October Festival, Xiao Ning remembered this place, it is said that in just ten days, this European-style building rose from the ground, colorful lights swirled in the sky, and he was in an alley sandwiched between several venues.
An autumn rain and a cold rain, the continuous misty drizzle poured down in the ears, and the narrow and cramped lanes were dyed dark, and the water flowed across the potholes and gathered into a slender stream of water, all the way down into the deep and dark sewers.
Bang la blah.
The gentle and rhythmic sound inexplicably makes people feel reassured, if it weren't for a dream, let alone an eerie and terrible death scene, Xiao Ning would definitely enjoy it.
The neon flashed, Xiao Ningzhuo pulled his slippers and walked through the dirty alleyway, goosebumps rose on his arms, maybe it was time to wear autumn clothes, he thought.
Where is it? Where is the body?
This desolate corner seems to have been abandoned by the real world, as if he was the only one from beginning to end.
Snort.
The sound of rubbing the gravel came, but it was pulled by the cloth, Xiao Ning's eardrums were a little itchy, and his scalp instantly became numb.
In this kind of dead and silent environment, the more subtle the sound, the more easily it can be amplified dozens of times, snort, again, Xiao Ning's face changed, and his heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand.
Constantly taking deep breaths, Xiao Ning slowly walked towards a certain sewer, the pungent smell of blood and rotten smell came to his face, and his stomach instantly turned over.
With a clang, the manhole cover of the sewer was suddenly slammed open, and in the dim light, a ghostly face came into view.
No, it can't be said to be ghosts, more precisely, it should be monsters.
At this moment, Xiao Ning suddenly felt a little funny out of place, the heavens seemed to be silently observing him, obviously after every nightmare, his courage and patience have been improved, but next time he will always be able to see more terrible and disgusting pictures, as if the superior has to see his frightened reaction.
The rugged face resembles that of an aquarium anglerfish, all organs distorted to the point where they were not visible, the bare and twisted skull is covered in black-purple scratches, and the rotting and white torso is constantly gushing foul-smelling pus.
Vomit, Xiao Ning couldn't hold back any longer, ran to the side and retched.
Snort, snort.
The sound of squirming kept coming from behind him, and there was a sudden warmth in his ears, as if something was near.
WhewβBreathing in the fresh air, Xiao Ning became more and more grateful for his dilapidated and clean hut, his head drowsy, as if he had a hangover.
Looking up at the window, the sky was still gloomy and dark, making it impossible to tell whether it was morning or noon, the autumn wind and cold rain blew from the window that he forgot to close last night, Xiao Ning frowned irritably, it's bad, I'm afraid I'm going to catch a cold.
There was no phone call from the police station, Xiao Ning sat in front of the computer, his fingers flew up and down, and strings of codes quickly appeared on the display screen.
Unlike Zhou Qing and Qian Hao, even if he spends 24 hours in the criminal police brigade, he will not get a penny. As Qian Hao said, he had to eat, so during this period of time without notice, he began to write the program again.
Time passed minute by minute, the transparent spectacle lenses reflected the faint light of the computer, and the restless emotions welled up in his heart, and finally, Xiao Ning stopped tapping and lit a cigarette.
The white mist slowly flowed out from the bloodless lips, and it was thick in the empty room, Xiao Ning's face was solemn, why hadn't he come to inform him yet?
Since he saw the body last night, it stands to reason that there should be news from the police station.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ning finally couldn't hold back, put on a coat, held a pitch-black umbrella, and rushed into the cold rain.
But what he didn't know was that the moment he walked out of the corridor, a sallow, greasy head leaned against the edge of the balcony, showing a malicious smile.
"Why are you here? No case. β
As soon as he arrived at the police station, a dry and hoarse voice came from not far away, Qian Hao looked haggard, Xu was the same cold wind as Xiao Ning last night.
"I'm looking for Officer Lin." Responding calmly, Xiao Ning didn't stop the next step, and walked directly towards Lin Xiyang's office.
"Okay, you kid," Qian Hao grinned at the corner of his mouth, pulled out an ambiguous smile, and patted Xiao Ning's shoulder, "Dare to follow Team Zhou, I support you." β
Why do some people keep their emotions high even when they are sick? Xiao Ning didn't understand.
"What? Where is it? Which sewer? β
In the office, after listening to Xiao Ning's description, a woman's unique high-pitched scream sounded, rubbing his dull ears, Xiao Ning's lips moved slightly, and all the details and dishes were revealed.
Lin Xiyang only felt frightened, how could it be? Since the last case, a lot of security and surveillance equipment has been added to the entire October festival site, and in this case, that prisoner still dares to commit a crime against the wind?
After considering the pros and cons of the two parties, Lin Xiyang said in a trembling voice: "I know, you wait for a while, and a few of us will go to the scene later." β
Raising his head blankly, Xiao Ning's eyes were full of confusion, shouldn't the police be dispatched at this time? What does it mean to have "a few people" to go to the scene.
Lin Xiyang is worthy of being a psychologist, and instantly discovered Xiao Ning's doubts, and explained: "The action is too big, Li Ke, that kid is afraid that he will write nonsense again, me, you, Qian Hao, Zhang Yu and Team Zhou, a few people are enough." β
Rubbing his fingers on his lips a few times subconsciously, Xiao Ning couldn't hold back his nausea and reluctance, in fact, there was one thing he hadn't had time to tell Lin Xiyang.
He has a habit of cleanliness.
I don't remember when it started, during the first period, he was so clean that he was even a little sickly, he didn't dare to take the bus, he didn't want to go to the public toilet when he was suffocating his bladder outside, and every time he came into contact with people, he had to disinfect his limbs.
This situation has improved a lot after trying to overcome and correct it, and now he can disguise himself like an ordinary person, and even go to a pickled room like Li Ke, he can remain silent.
However, for that disgusting corpse, he must admit that he really did not have that courage.
"Sunset," slammed, the door was opened, and Zhou Qing's vicissitudes of life came into view, "Come with me!" β
