Chapter 17: Fighting in the Sky (I)
Now that the decision has been made, Lao Dao and I immediately started to act.
We divided into two ways, Lao Dao went to the police station, looked for his old connections, and went to find out what I suspected - the true identity of the murderer, while I called Li Yi, borrowed a car from him, and rushed to Liu Yao's house.
Actually, before I called Li Yi for help, I called both Liu Yao and Meng Rong, but unexpectedly, neither of them could get through.
It's all turned off.
My heart sank again: from the moment we started to take over this case, the murderer walked ahead of us in everything, and from the moment we made an appointment with Meng Rong, he dragged us into his rhythm, killing Fang Zhe and then killing Luo Xing, all of them left us half a step behind, not only did not let us destroy his plan, but also let us witness the facts......
This time, is it still the case?
I can only console myself, but hopefully I am worried about it.
Liu Yao's house is in the west of the city, nearly twenty minutes away from Mao'er Lane, if I are speeding, plus a little detour, it may only take fifteen minutes.
However, after I drove the car onto the main road, I realized that I had made another mistake, and I was afraid that the murderer would be one step ahead again!
Now it's the evening rush hour, and I find it sadly: there is a traffic jam!
Now, I'm faced with a very difficult choice: wait in the car for the road to resume, or get out of the car and find another way.
Staying in the car, it is estimated that I can reach Liu Yao's house within an hour, which is considered fast, if I get off the car, what can I do? You can't go running, can you? Not to mention whether my physical strength can guarantee that I can run at the fastest speed for more than half an hour, there are so many pedestrians on the road, I just want to run, and I will be slowed down in the crowd.
My opponent, on the other hand, has a lot of advantages that I don't have.
First, there is time. He was already ahead of us, and we had been delayed for a long time here in Mao'er Lane, and I'm afraid we were even more left behind now.
Second, it's a helper. He has Meng Rong as a helper, which is really like cheating! At this moment, I really regret it, if I had called Liu Yao to remind me as soon as I found out that Meng Rong was wrong, it might have been a different situation now. But at that time, Lao Dao and I were misled by the murderer's layout, thinking that Luo Xing was the suspect, and Liu Yao was not too suspicious, so he ignored it, and now I think about it is really a fatal failure.
This murderer is really scheming, and he has no last resort!
But I remembered that it was Li Yi's thin man called "gluten" who came to deliver the car to me, he drove over, handed over the car to me, and then left on a younger brother's motorcycle, why don't I borrow that motorcycle?
I called right away. Coincidentally, gluten has not gone far.
It didn't take long for me to return the car to Gluten, then change his motorcycle and hurry to Liu Yao's house.
I picked a small alley to walk, avoiding the heavily congested avenue, sometimes there was really no road to detour, so I drove the motorcycle onto the sidewalk, I don't know how many white eyes and scolding along the way, it only took twenty-five minutes to rush to the community where Liu Yao lived.
Of course, this is the first time I have come to this community, and after asking the doorman at the entrance of the community to understand the location of the seven buildings where Liu Yao lives, I drove directly downstairs.
The current residential unit buildings are basically equipped with anti-theft doors and telephone doorbell access control systems. I rang the doorbell of Liu Yao's house several times, but no one answered the door, although I had already been mentally prepared to fight again, but after all, I still had a trace of luck, and now my hope is disappointed, and my heart can't help but be cold.
The only chance is that Liu Yao just went out by herself. However, according to the habits of modern people, the probability of going out without a mobile phone, and the mobile phone is turned off, is indeed very small.
Either way, I'll have to go up and take a look.
I looked at it, and this security door was an old-fashioned kind of cross key, and it just so happened that the old knife gave me a master key that opened the cross lock. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, I took out the master key and tossed it for about a minute, and finally opened the door. When I watched the demonstration of the old knife before, the lock was successfully unlocked within ten seconds, and I was so nervous that I was sweating, it seems that I really don't have the talent to be a thief.
Anyway, the first time I was a thief, I was a success.
I hurried upstairs.
Liu Yao lives on the fourth floor, and while I am climbing the stairs quickly, I am also worried: What should I do with the door of Liu Yao's house for a while?
It's not ten years ago now, and the current security door is not the wooden door that can be kicked open with one kick in the past, and it is almost impossible to break in.
But when I got to the fourth floor, I tried to pull it, and the iron gate on the outer layer actually opened!
I was surprised and delighted, but the surprise was far greater than the joy, and then pushed the thick security door inside, it was also just a cover-up!
Seeing this, my heart sank, for I knew that I must have been one step too late to teach the murderer to have the upper hand again.
But why did this man do it on purpose?
Demonstrate to me?
Teasing me?
Or does it mean something else?
I remained on guard and slowly entered the room.
After entering the door, there is an entrance that is more than two meters wide and more than three meters long. At first glance, there were two pairs of high heels and three pairs of slippers on the floor, neatly arranged against a pink carpet, and a Hawaiian-style wide-brimmed sunhat hung from the white-lacquered wooden coat hook on the right side of the entryway.
There was no one in the hallway, and there was no one behind the door.
I closed the door lightly with my backhand and continued inside, but as soon as I entered the living room, I stopped.
The living room is a simple modern decoration style, at a glance, the light brown wood floor, gray one-piece sofa, angular square glass coffee table, blue wallpaper TV background wall, very refreshing.
The reason why I stopped was because of the widescreen TV hanging on the wall, and on the pitch-black screen, someone wrote a line in red marker: "Senhai Mansion in the south of the city, nine o'clock, outdated, waiting for the corpse to be collected." ”
Don't think about it anymore, things are already clear.
From a series of details on the side of the entrance, it can be concluded that there must be no traces of violent entry. This is Liu Yao's acquaintance again, there is no need to force it, Liu Yao will be deceived by herself, this acquaintance, I think, is very likely to be Meng Rong.
Then, the killer got the key and turned back to leave me this sentence.
This seems complicated, but in fact, it doesn't take much time, as long as you drive in the car, trick Liu Yao into the car, and then get stunned, you can naturally get the key, and everything can be done in a very small time.
The murderer left me the door, which is also a kind of demonstration in disguise, as for the security door of the unit, even if I don't have the master key, I just have to wait for someone to enter and exit the unit building and pretend to be going in, but it may take a little more time - but this will not be considered by the murderer at all, because this is a gamble, and if I waste time, I will just lose faster.
After all, I was a bad move, and the whole game was controlled by the opponent.
Now, every time the opponent drops, I can only be forced to follow up: either lose the game immediately, or survive under the opponent's play, which is really embarrassing.
If it's really a game of chess, I can be generous and admit defeat, it's not a big deal, in life, who can be called undefeated, let alone chess?
However, the game that the other party wants to play with me is about human life.
