I had been on the scene for the whole time, but at this moment someone who seemed to be of a higher rank came and took over the questioning of the officer just now. He was very direct, and he asked me to repeat what happened last night to him in detail. I described to him in detail what had happened that night, including the fact that I had seen the police officer who had fallen from the building. He didn't refute me after listening to my words, he just asked the police officers below to check the whereabouts of the police officer who called Xiao Zhou last night, and then I knew that the police officer who fell from the building was called Zhou Tongcheng.

After that, he took me to see the corpse hanging on the balcony, and asked me if I knew why the corpse was like this, I had never seen this corpse, so naturally he told the truth, and he saw that I couldn't say anything, so he asked people to take my identity information to my company to verify my identity.

Although the process was quite tortuous, in the end, my identity was verified, and what I said was consistent with the evidence they found, so I was initially ruled out of suspicion and let me go back, just telling me to keep communication open and be on call recently.

It's just that after that, something even more terrifying happened.

Later, in addition to the one who jumped off the building, several more people died in the police force, and all of them were people who had contact with the corpses at the scene.

The coroner, who said that the first thing that went wrong was the coroner, who first removed the stitches from the pig's head sewn on the victim's neck to determine the true cause of the victim's death. And the most bizarre thing is that he seems to have found some information about the victim's murder, and he wrote this information down in the record book, but he didn't report it, and took the record away after work.

The medical examiner's name was Li Rang, and he came to me after taking the autopsy records with him.

I didn't know he had come for an autopsy, because a layman like me didn't know what their duties were, and he didn't tell me he was a forensic doctor, so I thought the police had come to me to find out.

He came directly to my house, about eight o'clock in the evening, and told me that he was a police officer at the police station who had a few questions to ask me, and I had seen him at the scene, so I didn't suspect his identity, but I thought that there were any clues related to me, and I was still a little apprehensive.

But the question he asked was more strange, I was very impressed, I remember he asked me if I knew a person named Zhong Yue, I don't know where he found this name, there is no such person among the people I know, so I shook my head and said I didn't know.

But he told me to think about it again, and I felt strange in my heart, there was no one I knew who had the surname Zhong, let alone someone with such a name.

He was silent for a while, and then asked me, "What was the takeaway you delivered that night?" ”

I don't know why he asked this, and wasn't there an identical takeaway on the scene, didn't they watch it? I then told him, "That shop sells braised pork, so he should have ordered braised pork." ”

Li Rang said, "I know." ”

Then he left, and I thought he was asking a clueless question, and when I was sending him out, he suddenly turned to me and said, "Have you ever tried to look out of the door through a cat's eye at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night?" ”

I was taken aback by what he said, and he laughed a little and said, "You can try it tonight." ”

After saying that, he left, but what he said later made my heart furious, and after he left, I immediately locked the door and closed all the windows, and I didn't know what I was afraid of.

Later, I kept thinking about what he said, and always felt that something was wrong, so I really didn't sleep that night, and at about two o'clock in the night, I really came to the door and looked out into the cat's eye.

But when I saw it, I was almost scared away, because I saw a man standing at the door, and I could see his whole body from the cat's eye, and what made people feel even more terrified was that he had a pig's head hood on his head, and I immediately thought of the corpse at the scene of the crime, and I thought at that time, could it be that the real murderer had found my house.

After that, I didn't sleep for almost the whole night, so I kept looking out at the cat's eye over and over again, and he was out almost all the time, and finally he left after dawn, but I didn't see where he came from, because I didn't keep staring at the cat's eye, and when I went to look again after a few minutes, he was no longer outside.

That night, Li Rang died.

It is said that he came to my house and did not return home, but went to the scene of the crime, determined that the time of his death was a phone call he made, and he made a phone call to another officer in the police force, to the effect that he was at the scene of the murder and called him to help him remember the time.

The officer asked him what he was doing at the scene of the murder so late, and he hung up the phone. So the police officer felt that something was wrong, so he reported it to the captain, and when they arrived at the scene of the murder, Li Rang was already dead, his body was cut into many pieces and stuck to the wall, his chest and abdomen were glued to the center of the wall, his arms were cut into three pieces, separated from each other by four or five centimeters, and stuck to the wall, and his legs were also three sections, but the head was not his, like the head of the victim of the missing pig's head corpse that day.

Li Rang's death frightened the police officers at the time, and the next question was, where is Li Rang's head?

After they traced Li Rang's whereabouts, they found me again, and when they found me, I could see that their eyes seemed to say a sentence - why are you again!

Fortunately, I did not have a direct connection with this matter, and after they found it, they still interrogated Li Rang why he came to me and what we talked about, but I found that one of the people who came this time did not seem to be from the police station, but his position seemed to be a little high, and the questions he asked were different from those from other police stations.

I think the most obvious difference between him and the rest of the police department is that the police people always list you as a suspect first and then rule you out as a suspect little by little. And when he asks questions, he always treats you as a victim first, and then lists you as a suspect little by little based on the irregularities in the conversation.

So this distinction makes me feel that he feels very sophisticated and easy to get close to, and most importantly his questions and eyes, not the preconceived and extremely uncomfortable feeling that they had before.

He asked me a few questions, it was about my recent life, I didn't quite understand why he asked these questions, he said them all, even what he did every day, he pondered for a while and said to the others who came: "He is not a suspect, but the target of the murderer, and will be the next victim." ”

He said, "What if Li Rang came to you just to remind you? Have you ever wondered why so many people came to remind you after examining the body, and not others, because from the autopsy, he found clues related to you and thought that you were the target of the murderer. ”

I asked him, "But it doesn't make sense, if the murderer wanted to kill me, then he could have done so at the scene, why did he let me go?" ”

The man said: "The murderer's intentions are usually difficult to guess, and I don't dare to say why until the motive for killing is understood, but judging from the murderer's series of modus operandi, the means are cruel and the psychological quality is extremely strong, which seems to convey to people that killing is a kind of fun, so when to kill whom, how to kill, it depends on when he is happy and when he is unhappy, can you understand?" ”

I only felt trembling when I heard this, and thought to myself, isn't this psychopathic, but I didn't say anything, and he said to the people at the police station: "He needs protection, and you need someone to take care of his safety in the near future." ”

Or did I understand why this person was involved, the reason is that in addition to Li Rang that night, the police officer who received his call also died, and the death of this police officer is a little more bizarre, it is said that when Li Rang's body was being dealt with at the scene, he suddenly found that he was not there and went to look for him, who knew that he saw that he did not know when he had hanged himself in the position of the balcony in the room, and his appearance and demeanor were exactly the same as the dried corpse that was removed, and he also stared at the room in a daze.

Everyone present at the time was sure that no one was in the house except them, let alone a living police officer who had been hanged in it without a sound.
