Chapter Eighty-Five: The Point Is
Where would Zhao Ming have thought that what he had been just a joke in his head before had really become a reality. Zhong Lin actually put so many victims directly out at one time.
The whole city fell silent for three days in a clamor of speculation, suspicion, and restlessness. The past three days have felt like forbearance before the outbreak, and the longer the forbearance, the stronger the outburst will be.
All kinds of vehicles rushed to the park, which was still remote, but it was only renovated a few years ago. If Zhao Ming remembered correctly, he remembered that this park, and even this area, had been a wasteland for a long time before.
In fact, strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a wasteland. This area was once farmland, but due to urban renewal, the land was expropriated, and the residents who used to live in the area moved away.
Unfortunately, there was not enough money to develop this place at that time, which directly led to its abandonment, and it was not until the real estate boom in the previous two years that the park was built because of the construction of buildings in the vicinity and the gradual increase in population.
As a supporting facility in this area, the overall area of the park is not large. The point where the body was found was located in a circular plaza in the center of the park.
The square is surrounded by a number of small sculptural buildings, on which four bodies are placed in turn. And I don't know if the murderer deliberately set it up, or the angle of the sculpture itself, the posture of the four corpses is still a little strange.
Like previous victims, the four victims who appeared this time were all men. Their hearts are also engraved with counts, which are the Chinese characters 'nine, ten, eleven, and twelve. ’
Of course, the most important thing that cannot be ignored is the line of blood words on the phone.
The blood letters were indeed written on the four victims, and since there were only eight characters in total, two words were written on each of the victims.
What wasn't made clear on the phone was that there was a question mark at the end of this blood word......
The question mark was not written on the corpse, but was smeared with blood on the sculpture not far from the left hand side of the victim numbered 'Twelve'.
Zhao Ming stood in front of this low sculpture....... this sculpture didn't look special, except for the blood with the question mark written on it, there was nothing else stained.
Su Tingting walked over, her words were simple and direct, "Do you suspect that the murderer specially wrote the question mark here?" ”
Zhao Ming turned his head slightly, and after going home to rest for a night, Su Tingting was really much more energetic, and the dark circles under her eyes were not so thick.
"Otherwise, it's just a question mark, and there's no need to write it down on this sculpture alone?" Zhao Ming said, "I don't think the murderer is a person who can do meaningless things. ”
"And what do you think this question mark means?" Su Tingting asked.
"It's possible that there should have been a corpse here." For a while, Zhao Ming could only think of such a possibility.
The four victims, the one numbered 'nine', looked a lot like Tang Yongfei in the old photo. As for the other three, it's completely new news.
Zhao Ming had to admit that he didn't know anything about these three unfamiliar faces: where did these people come from?
Judging from the question raised by the blood letter, these three people should also be in the business of selling children. So, combined with the previous speculation, will these three people be the ones who later filled in the vacancies of Feng Kang, Zheng De, and He Rong?
Four victims at one time, thanks to Zhao Ming, they ran fast, hurried to the destination, and pulled the cordon. Otherwise, the crowd outside the cordon at this moment would have to look very terrifying.
The leaders all stood aside with pale faces, and Wang Tong accompanied them. For a while, in Zhao Ming's opinion, Wang Tong, who was not tall at all, seemed to be even shorter.
The gift that Zhong Lin prepared was a little too big, in fact, judging from the flashing camera lights that kept flashing outside the cordon, this gift actually exceeded the limit that the leaders could bear.
Eight plus four, that's twelve victims!
That's enough for leaders to make decisions that can only be made in extraordinary times, such as a city-wide search.
Zhao Ming quietly pricked up his ears and eavesdropped on the leaders' conversation.
The police were not the first to arrive at the scene, which means that the scene has been vandalized. Because of the destruction, fingerprints, DNA and things like that don't have much reliability.
Under Shen Bin's instructions, Zhao Ming and Su Tingting found the park management office. However, bad information can be described as one after another.
In such a large park, the door of the management office is closed. And looking through the glass window, it seems that no one has worked here.
Zhao Ming questioned a nearby resident, and the information he received was exactly what he had guessed. The office is almost a furnishing, as are the park's street lamps and surveillance probes.
"They're all fake?" Zhao Ming was surprised.
The resident shook his head, "How could it be fake?" They just don't have access to it, because the place is so remote that there aren't many people, and the park is probably to save some electricity. ”
The location is remote, the area is large, there is no surveillance, and there are no street lights at night. All of this makes this park a paradise for criminals!
Walking back from the park management office with the gate closed, all kinds of doubts swirled in Zhao Ming's head, and this rotation continued until Su Tingting suddenly opened her mouth, and then it ended abruptly.
"Why do you think the murderer chose this place as the place to display the corpse?" Su Tingting suddenly asked.
Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously felt that this question was too unnecessary. But is that really the case?
Zhao Ming's brain teaser turned rapidly, and he finally understood the meaning of Su Tingting's words: Tang Ke, Du Peng, Lu Yuanfei, Yu Liang, Kong Bing, the location where these five victims appeared must have a family that has lost its child.
But now, such a park...... Can there be a family behind the park that has lost a child? Probably not.
"What do you think is the special meaning of this place?" Zhao Ming asked, he hadn't been able to fully understand the relationship himself.
Su Tingting nodded, her face was solemn, "The murderer's behavior is escalating, considering the words he wants to say behind what he did, if the choice of this park has no special meaning, it always feels wrong." ”
The incongruous ....... understood what Su Tingting meant. Zhao Ming thought of such a word: incongruous.
"But after all, this is a park, and before the park is farmland. There was no housing here at all, and no one ever lived here. Zhao Ming elaborated on his doubts.
Suddenly, Su Tingting stopped suddenly, she stared at Zhao Ming with wide eyes, this expression was really a little terrifying.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Ming's breathing was a little short of subconsciously, and it didn't feel very good to be stared at like this.
"The focus is not on the sad family, the grieving parents ......." Su Tingting suddenly opened her mouth as if she was a little nervous, "The focus is on the child, it has always been only on the child, so ......."
