"Mr. Ji, I guess you already know about the case that happened last night - you know, if it weren't for the extremely strange incident, with my identity, I wouldn't have turned to you for help."

The man sitting across from me said this to me.

I nodded, not feeling that the other person's tone offended me in the slightest.

Because the man sitting across from me, named Cheng Cheng, is the criminal investigation captain of the Chengnan Branch of the Jinguancheng Police Bureau.

I have long heard his name from Lao Dao and Koi, he is now Chinese New Year's Eve, driven, capable, his wife's family has some official background, and he has also solved several major cases in the past ten years, and he has achieved his current position, which is deserved.

But Cheng Cheng in front of me, with an untidy hairstyle, a face with no blood, no police uniform jacket, only a shirt, the cuffs and neckline that were pulled up have shown stains, the neckline is open, and the tie is torn to the side.

This shouldn't be the usual appearance of a young and powerful criminal investigation captain, and I began to wonder, because the big case last night alone would not make this Captain Cheng embarrassed like this, unless, the case has other hidden secrets.

Last night's big case, although the official blocked the news, but for me, it only caused me some trouble in terms of obtaining information, there are old knives and koi fish, no matter what is going on in black and white, I can quickly know through them.

A more detailed case report was placed on my desk before Cheng Cheng walked into my office.

- "5.17 Serious Case"!

On May 17th, the sun rose as usual, and Jinguancheng woke up in the morning light as usual.

When the more than 12 million citizens of Jinguancheng were full of hope to devote themselves to a new day's life, all the subordinates of the judicial and administrative system of the entire Jinguancheng were shocked into a cold sweat by a piece of news!

The municipal Seongnam Hospital, overnight, turned into a Shura dojo.

An entire inpatient building, from the first floor to the twentieth floor, was occupied by corpses, limbs and blood, and all medical staff, cleaning and maintenance workers, inpatients, and nursing family members of the entire inpatient building were all victimized.

Because the power and communication facilities of the entire hospital have been destroyed, the police department has missed the best time to intervene, and the investigation of the situation after the incident shows that this large-scale and brutal mass homicide may have started at midnight.

From the reference to the physiological phenomenon of death shown by the victim's body, the killing should first break out on the top floor of the inpatient building - that is, the special care ward, the murderer is a group crime, the specific number of people is unknown, and the murder weapon used is more chilling in the back of the neck - the murder weapon used by the murderer is not his own, but taken from local materials, in addition to the more common medical appliances such as scalpels and various stick-shaped blunt instruments in the hospital, the murderer seems to prefer to use his own body parts as a murder weapon that causes death, The severed limbs and remains scattered throughout the hospital are full of marks of punching, kicking, pinching, and even biting, and some of the bodies have mutilated human parts that may have been taken away by the perpetrators, or ...... Swallowed.

It is worth noting that the victims of the mutilation and loss of human body parts are all young women, and it seems that these deranged murderers have some extremely perverted hobbies.

The police bureau listed the entire hospital as a forbidden area and sealed it off, except for the necessary police officers and the leaders of the municipal party committee who rushed to hear the news (the city management committee, directly under the mayor, in charge of the city's politics, economy, and military, and was divided into the political bureau, construction bureau, military management bureau, etc.), refused to allow anyone, especially reporters, to interview and enter, the external reason was to protect the scene and investigate and collect evidence, but also because the murder scene was too bloody, if these pictures were circulated, I am afraid that it would immediately cause extreme panic among the people.

The very few witnesses to this incident were all closely protected, not so much "protection" as "isolation", because these people had varying degrees of mental problems after witnessing the scene of the murder and even witnessing the scene at the moment of the incident, which also had a great impact on the investigation of the police department.

At noon on the same day, the tragic case, named "May 17 Serious Case", finally obtained the overall crime data.

In the entire municipal Chengnan Hospital, a total of 384 people died in this tragedy, including 25 doctors on duty, 45 nurses on duty, 6 cleaning and maintenance workers, 4 hospital security guards, 209 inpatients, 93 nursing family members, and 2 passers-by (the police bureau speculated that they may have come in to borrow the hospital toilet), 121 survivors, of which 101 were asleep at the time of the incident, and the 20 survivors who witnessed the tragedy to varying degrees all fell into insanity. There were only two missing people - a seven-year-old girl named Cheng Xiaozi, who was in ward 99 of the intensive care ward on the 20th floor of the inpatient building at the time; and the security guard of the hospital's security department, 47-year-old Li Huai'an.

…………

Thinking back to the details of the "5.17 Serious Case", I thought of the relationship between this tragedy and the man in front of me: "Cheng Xiaozi, one of the two missing people, who is Captain Cheng?" ”

Cheng Cheng had a painful and tangled expression on his face, his Adam's apple swayed up and down, and it took a while before he replied with difficulty: "Yes...... My daughter. ”

I immediately understood why he seemed so decadent, but just like that, it was not enough for Cheng Cheng, who was the criminal investigation captain of the Chengnan Branch of the Jinguancheng Police Bureau, to ask me for help, which was not reasonable, so I asked: "Captain Cheng, you said 'the incident is extremely weird' at the beginning, what is going on?" ”

Cheng Cheng took out a USB flash drive from the inner pocket of his jacket and handed it to me: "There is a part of the surveillance video of Shinan Hospital here, you can understand it by looking at it." ”

I took the USB stick, plugged it into my laptop on my desk, and clicked on a video file.

A snowflake flashed on the screen, followed by a footage:

The location was supposed to be a corridor in the hospital, with wards on both sides, and at first the corridor was empty, but soon a bloodied patient in a hospital gown rushed out of one of the rooms and fell down the hallway.

It was a young female patient, who looked terrified, and after falling to the ground, she was still using her hands and feet, desperately trying to get away from the room, as if there was something terrible in it.

A few seconds later, another figure emerged from the room, a man, but with more blood stained on his hospital gown. The man walked in a very strange way, his whole body swaying and twitching, as if his limbs were not completely controlled, and in his hand, he held a fruit knife in one hand and a bloodied ...... in the other Head!

The man with the knife stood at the door of the ward for a few seconds, then let go of the human head he was carrying, the human head bounced on the ground, rolled and drew a shocking blood mark on the ground, and then, the man took a few steps forward in a strange and distorted posture, and threw down the fruit knife in his hand......

Just when I didn't quite understand his behavior, he suddenly threw himself on the female patient on the ground, leaned over and hugged her tightly, while the female patient below him struggled desperately as if she had been electrocuted...... Although the surveillance footage is silent, her extremely wide mouth and frightened and distorted face are enough to make up for the terrible and desperate screams at that time......
