Chapter 12: Serial Killers

On the screen is a half-length photo of a middle-aged man, with a dark complexion, angular facial features and an empty gaze, giving people a feeling of not being good at expressing themselves.

This is a bit similar to what Teddy Kim described, and I can't help but admire him a little.

This face... The more I looked, the more familiar it felt, and I'm sure this wasn't the first time I'd seen it.

"Wait a minute." I panicked out of my chair and ran out of the bar to a small storage room on the second floor of the Internet café, where the black suitcase was all my belongings, and under the messy clothes was a notepad, the cover was a little shabby, and even the pages would fall when I opened it.

I lowered my head and walked down the stairs while watching, and Lu Lingyun was still sitting at the bar to help me guard the cash box.

"What's wrong?" He asked me curiously.

I don't think I'm mistaken, I saw this face in a dream two years ago, with a diary written on the notepad in my hand, and whenever I woke up from a nightmare, I would try to recall some key things.

This includes the environment, the murderer, or how you were killed.

My gaze was fixed on one of the pages, and I finally matched the face with the words in my diary.

This is something written two years ago, around 2 o'clock in the morning on June 20, the place of occurrence was in the woods, the murderer was two men, one of them was the person who killed Wang Xiaoya, and the other where is he now?

"Brother Lu, I'm afraid this is a pretty big case." I couldn't calm down, especially after I knew I had met a murderer, if... If I could have done something two years ago, would Wang Xiaoya still be alive today, be her anchor, and happily soak the bowl of noodles and send it to my desk.

At the age of nineteen, I understood a truth, the knife only knows the pain when it is inserted into my body, and the dead in the nightmare chose to avoid it because they had nothing to do with me.

Something should be done, I deeply repent of my selfishness.

Lu Lingyun looked at me incomprehensibly, he still didn't understand the meaning of my words.

"I can really help you, trust me, let me meet this guy, it won't be long."

"No, your identity can't interrogate suspects." He rejected my request.

"I just want to ask him a few words, and I won't do anything out of line."

Lu Lingyun was silent for a long time, and seemed to have thought of a way.

"You wait for me at the door of the police station tomorrow morning, and call me when you arrive."

"Understood."

After Lu Lingyun left, I stopped playing games, but carefully looked through the diary, every paragraph of text is the departure of a life, some cases may have been solved, but there are still some of them, I am afraid they have already sunk into the sea, just like the murderer of Wang Xiaoya, he is still at large for two years, the girl who was once buried alive in the mountains, why no one has gone to look for her.

Should I be held accountable?

I'm not a hero, but I'm not a bear either, I'll do my best, and I'll be considered to comfort Xiaoya's spirit in the sky.

At half past nine in the morning, I handed over the Internet café to my little sister on the day shift to take care of, came to the city bureau alone, and called Lu Lingyun outside the compound, and hung up after two rings.

Today's temperature was exceptionally cold, perhaps because of the heavy snow that had just fallen last night, and the pedestrians on the road were wearing down jackets, and I was wearing only a thin sweatshirt.

Standing in a place where there is no sunlight will make you shiver from the cold.

Ten minutes·· Twenty minutes... I still didn't see Lu Lingyun come out to pick me up.

Just then, a voice came from behind him.

"Why are you standing here?"

I turned around and saw Kim Teddy with curly brown hair in glasses, dressed in a neat police uniform, very different from that day.

"Uh... I..." I don't know if I should say that I am waiting for Lu Lingyun.

"Waiting for the Marines? Come in with me first to warm up, he was called to the provincial hall for a meeting early in the morning and will not be back until noon. ”

"Really? He didn't tell me. "I wasn't very happy, I felt like I was being tricked.

Kim Teddy looked at my face, pulled up his arm and walked quickly into the compound.

"The army can't help it, the temporary order, don't blame him."

We walked into the police station together, and the hot air from the air conditioner softened me a little, and Teddy Kim led me to his desk, which was simple and tidy with only a desktop computer, pen holder, and sticky notes.

I looked at the other cubicles, and the officers were still busy, some on the phone, some on the phone, some on the business at hand.

Kim Teddy got hot water from nowhere.

"Drink some water to keep the cold away." He said with a smile.

Whenever a policewoman passes by his desk, this guy will take the initiative to chat with others, and it seems that he is the kind of person who is very outgoing.

I drank half a glass of water to warm up my hands and feet, and chatted with him about Wang Xiaoya's case.

He didn't dare to say much.

I was told that the murderer was now in the detention center of the city bureau awaiting trial.

It was almost noon when Lu Lingyun called me back, and I could hear the apology in his tone and forgave him.

During the morning break, he hurried back to the city bureau and called Kim Teddy to go to the detention center with me.

Along the way, Lu Lingyun reminded me that the time should not be too long, and try not to say anything to stimulate the suspect, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

I wrote it all down and promised him.

When I arrived at the detention center, Lu Lingyun asked Jin Teddy to send me in, and he greeted the police officer in charge of the guard in advance and arranged for me to be placed in the prison next door to Wang Xiaoya's murderer.

It was the first time I had been in this kind of place, and I was amazed by everything around me.

Looking at the narrow passageway with solid bars, one next to the other, some empty, some holding the suspects, I followed Kim Teddy and the police officers forward to the end of the passage.

Teddy Kim glanced at the watch on his wrist and whispered in my ear, "The Marines said you have to go out before one o'clock, hurry up." ”

I nodded in response.

Directly across from my cell sat a man with his face down, his eyes fixed on the ground.

I stood by the bar, holding the bars with both hands, and watched Kim Teddy and the officers walk away before speaking.

"Xiaoya is a good friend of mine."

The man tilted his head slightly when he heard my words, and there was a pair of empty eyes hidden in his hair.

"I know of another person, in the woods two years ago, and another person killed a girl with you."

My words made the man suddenly become alert, and his empty eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by a pair of extremely cold eyes staring at me.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and his dry lips slowly opened.

"Who are you?" The sound in my throat was extremely ugly, but I could feel that breath, it was the fierce and merciless gasp perched on Wang Xiaoya's back.

"I said that I am Xiaoya's friend, but I have another identity, the one who sent you to hell."

He probably thought my words were childish and giggled.

"Just laugh, I'll dig up all the sins you and your accomplices have committed, like the girl in the woods two years ago."

"Fart!! Stinky boy, you can't find him at all, you're going to die before you find him!! The man got up excitedly and rushed to the bars of his cell, like a hyena trying to bite me.

I glared at him with a frown, not taking a step back.
