Chapter 81: Corpse Stench
"Because of the number four," Xiao Ning's voice was slightly hoarse, "There are only four murderers, and they will only be discovered when there is only one murder case left, if it is five or six, the total number of murderers can be calculated when they are more than halfway through the plan, but four, I can only get the answer when the third case is discovered." ”
Swallowing his saliva, Li Ke suddenly paused, his breathing became short, and he scratched his hair all over his head excitedly, "I know, there are four murderers, and there are also four people who they want to kill, and after the third case is discovered, the police are likely to control the suspects in front of them, or just as a protective object, in short, in this way, they will not be able to carry out the last murder."
The only thing they could do to prevent such an injustice from happening was to make the first deceased the fourth to be discovered. But-" Raising his head suddenly, Li Ke looked at Xiao Ning steadily, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, "It's just like this, isn't it too easy to be discovered?" ”
"No," Xiao Ning's gaze fell on the running computer, and a complicated look appeared in his deep pupils, "The reason why the murderers chose the way of the four people is that they are prepared to "even if they are discovered, they can't stop it", which means that they have guessed from the beginning, and we or others will guess the truth. ”
"Huh?" Li Ke began to be dazed again, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
Xiao Ning glanced at Li Ke impatiently, and his look of disgust unexpectedly made Li Ke feel relieved at this moment, "Shake your head." ”
Li Ke did as he was told, but the second brother was confused.
"Do you hear the sound of the water?"
Bad words poured out from the beautifully shaped lips, Li Ke couldn't help but sneer, that's it, this is Xiao Ning.
"There is no way to convict just by guessing the truth, unless direct evidence is found, that is, they are convinced that their contact information will not be cracked by others." Turning his gaze to the computer again, the corner of Xiao Ning's mouth hooked up a sneer, "He doesn't take me seriously too much." ”
He, is he referring to the man behind the scenes? Li Ke's heart became heavy for a while.
Night still inevitably came, and sometimes Xiao Ning couldn't help but think about the mechanism of dreams.
First of all, he definitely did not dream of the deceased at the time of the crime, it was more like the night before he was "discovered by the police", and secondly, at the beginning, the connection between dreams and reality was not blurred, no matter how real it was, dreams were dreams, but now, the barrier between dreams and reality seems to be disappearing little by little.
White floats were faintly visible on the dark green river, the first quarter moon in winter emitted a faint pale silver glow, and the foul air poured into his nose, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, but Xiao Ning didn't want to think in that direction.
He had been standing by this bridge for a long time, time seemed to have lost its laws, the sun rose and the moon set in the sky, countless wind and clouds changed, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move a bit.
It was a dream, he knew it all too well. However, he had no idea why such a dream occurred.
The surrounding scenery seems to be an unusually spacious courtyard, with brick-red walls, pure white roofs, white doves flying by from time to time, and unknown flags fluttering, everything is refreshing.
Only, only the smell lingering in his nose, mixed with the cloudy dust of the air, made him want to escape.
Rancid smell, but mixed with an unspeakable taste. Even Xiao Ning, who had smelled the stench of countless corpses, felt unbearable from his bone marrow for the first time.
There was a sudden change in front of his eyes, the first quarter moon turned into a crescent moon, and the Pleiades illuminated by the moonlight emitted a dismal light, Xiao Ning's pupils tightened slightly, and time passed inexplicably, and he returned to his original position - when he was asleep.
Finally able to move, Xiao Ning easily moved his legs and walked towards the red-walled and white-tiled building behind him.
At this moment, it may be a little inappropriate to say that it is red walls and white tiles, but under the wind and rain of the years, the building has long lost its original appearance, the cracked walls are covered with blue-black moss, and the black roof is covered with old pigeon droppings.
Pushing open the dusty door, a huge shock image comes into view, and the trembling left hand stops on the doorknob, fear catalyzes brain cells to produce an emotion called excitement.
It was a long-rotting corpse, suspended high on a rotting beam by a crude hemp rope, a gray-haired man's face twisted and bloodied, and a blue-gray tongue hanging down to his chin.
Zhang Yu's work should be very heavy. Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Ning's mouth couldn't help but hook up a wicked smile.
The corpse was completely decomposed, which was in line with his reasoning, even cold weather could not stop the growth of mold, and the blood on the ground had oxidized and deteriorated, taking on a deep black color. Surprisingly, in the center of a dark black trail, there was a cloudy and whiteish circle.
That's the one, right? Xiao Ning frowned, his stomach pouch rolled, and he felt nauseous.
Suddenly, there was an imperceptible sound from the rotten beams, and the distorted body staggered and moved, and the head like a rotten apple was raised at some point, and the eyes full of resentment and blood looked at Xiao Ning impartially.
Call. Opening his eyes again, Xiao Ning subconsciously took a big breath of fresh air.
The pale and emaciated fingers tightened unconsciously, scratching the dark sheets.
It's disgusting, those prisoners, don't they have a little sense of beauty?
Knock knock, knock on the door as promised, Xiao Ning lazily shouted: "Come in, don't you have the key?" ”
"Huh?" The clear throat may have been affected by cigarettes for a long time, and the just right hoarseness makes the man's voice both childish and mature, "Who has the key?" ”
This is? Xiao Ning was stunned for a moment, hurriedly got off the bed, rushed to the bathroom, hurriedly washed his face, and then opened the door, and said unhappily: "How did you know about my family?" Why are you here? ”
Seeing Xiao Ning holding the handle with his left hand, his long legs stretched horizontally, and he looked unwilling to let himself in, Yin Zetai smiled familiarly and grabbed Xiao Ning's shoulder, "Don't be so cold." ”
"If you have something to say, let's go if it's okay." Xiao Ning was unmoved.
The swarthy face with a well-defined silhouette became solemn in an instant, and a pair of clear eyes with extremely good-looking shapes looked at Xiao Ning fixedly.
"I'll help you find the truth."
