Chapter 25: Who Kills (1)
When Lu Xun stepped into the office, he was shocked to find that all the members of the hummingbird hunting team had arrived, and he was the last one to arrive. It seems that the Colonel informed him only after informing everyone.
Rehe sat on the couch, Storm sat across from him, the two young men kept their heads down and remained silent, their eyes fixed on the white porcelain cup on the coffee table, Luo Cheng sat on the chair next to Reich, and the black suitcase at his feet. Belle leaned against the wall and hugged Phoebe in her arms, Phoebe was already crying red eyes, Ariana stood aside with her hands crossed, and Lu Xun's gaze subconsciously fell on the chair in the corner of the colonel's office.
The chairs were empty.
The last time the hummingbird hunting team was all assembled, on the eve of the attack on the Jin Mao Tower, the colonel was captured by the Night King, and the middle-aged man sat behind his desk and announced the implementation of the assassination plan.
Lu Xun paused for a second after entering the door, and everyone turned their heads to look at him.
"Colonel." Lu Xun said hello.
Maxwell Hugh Sean looked the same as before, his gray hair was neatly combed, he nodded to Lu Xun, the middle-aged man stood beside the colonel, his left sleeve hung down, empty, he looked even more haggard and thin than before.
Lu Xun found a chair by the wall and sat down.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started." The colonel slapped his face, "Heavy artillery, please close the curtains." ”
Belle turned around and closed the curtains, the light in the office dimmed, and the colonel turned on the projector, and the white pillar of light hit the curtains.
"The victim is Miss Ai Ye, who was killed at about half past five last night, and unfortunately died this morning, the cause of death was excessive blood loss, and the fatal injury was caused by a short knife with a black handle." Omega appeared on the projection, her voice coming from the microphone in the office, and then a picture of Aiye was projected, a little dark-haired girl, pale and emaciated, looking timidly at the camera lens, apparently taken when she had just been rescued.
Lu Xun looked at the photo and twitched sharply in his heart.
This photo was taken by him.
When Ai Ye was first rescued back to the academy, he was overly frightened, he didn't dare to go out, he didn't trust anyone, he didn't even eat or drink, it was useless for anyone to come, except for Lu Xun. Somehow, this little girl had an inexplicable sense of closeness and affection for Lu Xun, so the colonel assigned Lu Xun to take care of this girl, and this photo used to store in his personal file was also taken by Lu Xun himself.
Lu Xun told Lao Jia the truth...... He really treats Ai Ye as a sister, Lu Xun has been alone since he was a child, he has no brothers and sisters, and having a sister is like an extra family member for Lu Xun.
"According to the results of the analysis of the crime scene, the suspect is currently locked as Miss Lemon." Omega then released the photo of the lemon, "The fingerprints on the murder weapon have been identified and compared and confirmed to belong to Miss Lemon." ”
A photograph of the murder weapon was cast on the curtain, a short knife more than ten centimeters long, the handle of which was stained with coagulated black blood.
"The Enforcement Department has seized the suspect's residence and found bloody clothes in the residence." Omega released the photos of the clothes again, the clothes were no longer visible, the blood stained clotted like a pile of dirty rags, "At present, it can be confirmed that these clothes belong to the suspect, and in addition, we also found this thing at the scene......"
A photo was released.
Lu Xun was taken aback and his eyes widened.
This is a note spliced from newspaper clippings, which looks very similar to the one Lu Xun received...... But the note had been torn and soaked in dried blood, and the handwriting on it was illegible.
"It was discovered by Miss Ariana at the scene of the crime, and it was brought to the scene by the victim." "We speculate that this may be some kind of message that the killer used to lure the victim to a designated location." ”
"What's the word on that?" Rech looked up and frowned.
"We are trying to identify, but the handwriting on it has been basically damaged, and the restoration work is very difficult, so far, we can distinguish the words 'today', 'day', 'night', 'to', 'ten', 'building', 'have', a total of seven."
Rehe shook his head, "I don't understand what that means at all. ”
"What do you mean...... Was it Lemon who tricked Ai Ye into going to Building 13 with a note, and then stabbed her to death? Belle's voice was cold.
"This is the most likely scenario." Omega's tone was flat, "According to the restoration of the scene, there was no fierce fight in the room, the victim showed no signs of struggling and resisting, the murderer did not stop much after stabbing the victim, and immediately left the scene, and then Mr. Lu Xun arrived, and the time interval between this was less than ten minutes." ”
"If she's going to run away, why don't she take the knife with her?" Belle asked.
"I don't know." Omega shook his head, "There are still too many doubts in this case, unless we catch the suspect, we may never know the truth, the executive department has launched a comprehensive search, but the suspect is currently missing, and the surveillance camera has failed to capture effective information." ”
Everyone in the office turned their heads to look at Lu Xun, who was expressionless and didn't say a word.
"I don't believe that Sanwu will kill!" Belle roared.
"Belle, calm down......" Rehe turned his head to persuade, "We don't believe that Sanwu will kill anyone, but ......"
Belle glared at him, "Shut up! ”
Rech shut up stupidly.
"From a common sense point of view, Miss Lemon really doesn't have any reason to kill Miss Aiye." Omega nodded, "But unfortunately, all the evidence we found at the scene of the crime identified the suspect, the evidence was conclusive, there were two hundred survivors in the entire security zone, and we couldn't find a second person who matched these characteristics." ”
Belle was furious, she didn't believe that Sanwu would be the murderer, but she didn't know how to refute Omega...... As Omega said, the knife is lemon, the fingerprint is lemon, the footprint is lemon, the clothes are lemon, and now lemon is missing...... Who else but her could be a suspect?
"Land Patrol! What do you think? Belle had no choice but to turn to Lu Xun, hoping that Lu Xun would stand up and help her speak.
Lu Xun shook his head slowly.
"I don't believe lemons kill people, there must be something wrong with this."
Ariana suddenly sneered.
Everyone was stunned.
"I also don't believe that Sanwu will be a murderer." Anna looked up, "But what if that person isn't a three-nothing at all?" ”
