Chapter 19: The Hunter's Revenge
I don't know when Lu Lingyun also began to care about my future like Lao Liang.
But I'm not a person who is willing to listen to other people's arrangements, so naturally I didn't take Lu Lingyun's words to heart.
At noon, the technical team sent over the mock portrait of the hunter, and I took a copy and looked at it carefully.
What do you say about a bust of a young man printed on A4 paper? It's a bit like the character I usually pinch my face in online games.
"Brother Lu... ThisΒ·Β· It's too ordinary, and it doesn't have any features. I glared at the paper in my hand and complained.
Lu Lingyun was still looking carefully, as if he hadn't heard what I said.
Not wanting to disturb him, I silently sat back on the couch by the window.
The man in the portrait looks very young, with a slightly square face, slightly raised eyebrows, double eyelids and big eyes, a bright gaze, and a nose and mouth that are very consistent with the appearance characteristics of northerners, which can be regarded as a good face.
Thinking of the nickname this guy gave himself: Hunter.
Aiming at hunting humans? What a pervert.
But even if he walked down the street and took a picture with me, I wouldn't associate that face with a psychopathic murderer.
Therefore, the most incomprehensible thing in this world is people.
As soon as Lu Lingyun put down the portrait, the phone in the office rang.
He picked up the phone, his expression becoming more and more ugly, as if he was surprised by what was being said on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, okay, I'll be right over." Putting down the phone, Lu Lingyun picked up the car keys on the table and was about to leave, and I also stood up, wanting to know what had happened.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
As he walked, he explained: "Shen Mengchao's father and sister were found dead at home. β
"Huh?? Did the hunters do it? β
"It's not clear yet, let's see it live."
I followed closely behind Lu Lingyun, holding the portrait tightly in my hand.
Sitting in his car and watching him pull the siren out and buckle it on the roof, the power of the off-road vehicle was exerted to the extreme, and the speed was a little uncomfortable.
The police had evacuated the entire building, and I could smell the smell of gas in the air when I arrived near the scene.
A police officer shouted over a loudspeaker: "Please leave quickly, don't stay nearby, the danger has not been lifted." β
Gas leaks?
I covered my mouth and nose and walked into the building with Lu Lingyun behind me.
Two staff members of the company stopped us, and he said that the police can't go in now, and the inside is still being repaired, which is very dangerous.
Lu Lingyun looked up at a room on the fourth floor with an open window, I think it should be the scene of the murder.
He asked the informant and the police from the nearby police station to understand the situation, and I stood aside and listened.
At about 9 o'clock this morning, a resident of the upper floor smelled a strong smell of gas and found that something was wrong and immediately called the police, and the police came to find the staff of the gas company and forcibly opened the iron door of No. 2 on the fourth floor.
I found that the room was very tightly sealed, the window cracks were smeared with styrofoam, and the entrance door was also covered with tape, and the gas concentration in the room was quite high, so I quickly loosened the nearby residents.
The police found two bodies in the kitchen, the male deceased was the head of the household, Shen Dongqiang, 66 years old, and the female deceased was his daughter, named Shen Mengying, 38 years old.
Both had no obvious external injuries, but were confirmed dead because they collapsed next to the outlet of the gas leak and inhaled a large amount of toxic gas.
The on-site environment has been damaged due to the ignition of the company's entry and exit, and it will take a while to enter.
I looked at Lu Lingyun's helpless expression and didn't know what to say.
Shen Mengchao once said that the hunter would not let him go, but he didn't expect to kill his father and sister so soon.
The police are responsible, I think.
I still had the portrait in my hand, so I followed the crowd that was gradually dispersing to inquire about the person on the portrait.
"Auntie, have you ever seen this person?"
"Nope."
"Uncle, have you ever seen this person?"
"No, no."
"Comrade policeman, I saw someone leave Lao Shen's house this morning." Suddenly, a middle-aged man in the crowd called me and said.
I walked quickly to him.
This middle-aged brother said that he was doing sanitation work, so every day he went out before dawn, this morning at about 3 o'clock, he went downstairs to get ready to work, to the corner of the fifth and fourth floors accidentally found a figure hiding in the dark, because the corridor is a voice-activated light, when he walked down, the person had already walked to the next floor.
At that time, the eldest brother thought that he was the son of the old Shen family, and he didn't think much about it when he knew that Shen Mengchao was a taxi.
I could hear the meaning of his words, and it seemed that the neighbors near Shen Mengchao's arrest did not understand the situation.
"Do you see the man's face clearly?"
"No~~ just flickering like that, who can see clearly, but he was wearing a pair of black pants and black leather shoes, I just saw it when I looked down from the guardrail, and it seemed that he was still holding such a long object in his hand." The eldest brother was talking and gesturing, about 30 centimeters.
What could it be? I was curious, and I almost went back to tell Lu Lingyun about the situation, and he called to send additional people to investigate the nearby surveillance.
The people from the gas company finally left, and the smell in the room on the fourth floor was almost dispersed, and I followed Lu Lingyun into the scene.
The messy footprints on the ground made it impossible to see how many people had passed by, and the melted snow on the soles of their shoes turned into black mud, and they were trampled everywhere.
The bodies of Shen Dongqiang and Shen Mengying were moved out of the kitchen at some unknown point and placed in the corner of the living room covered with sheets.
I cautiously pushed open the kitchen door and looked inside, it was messy.
"Brother Lu, is there any clue here?"
Lu Lingyun still had a calm face, he squatted next to the two corpses and opened the sheet, from his fingertips to his wrists to his forearms, he didn't miss any place to carefully inspect, and found obvious strangulation marks on his elbows.
"They were all controlled, perhaps in their sleep by a murderer who suddenly broke in." Lu Lingyun finally opened his mouth to talk to me, and if he ignored me, I wanted to disappear.
"Did the hunters do it?" I want to get to the bottom of it.
"There is such a possibility, Xiaoyan, you go back to the city bureau and ask the colleagues of the task force to send the portrait to the airport and railway departments to see if there is anything to be gained."
"Oh my God, that's a lot of work." When I think of the daily flow of people in and out of Fengtian City, it is estimated that it is similar to looking for a needle in a haystack.
"We can't let go of any clues, go ahead."
I understand his difficulties, and I've seen their difficulties in the police station these days, and when I encounter a tricky guy like a hunter, I'm afraid it's hard to bring him to justice without doing his best.
When I was about to go out, I glanced at the tape around me again, half on the door and half on the ground, how did the hunter do it? In order to prevent the gas from leaking out as soon as possible, it is made into a secret room, so why not just kill them.
I can't figure it out, but maybe someone can ββββ Kim Teddy.
