Since Li Xue's body has been found, there is no need for on-site investigation, and we did not wait for the on-site investigation work on the side of the Xiefeng Bridge to end, so we drove back to the Chengnan Branch with the ambulance carrying Li Xue's body.

Let Lao Dao and Cheng Cheng go to see Shen Tangzhi, and let her be sure to conduct an autopsy on Li Xue's body as soon as possible, and I want to see the autopsy report as soon as possible - I asked Lao Dao to bring me a message: I have reason to believe that there is an extremely critical connection between the burglary and homicide case that occurred in Cheng Cheng's house and the 517 serious case that happened in Shinan Hospital, and I can't rule out the possibility that the 517 serious case will be repeated in another location, so any information is very important and urgent for me.

I didn't explain to Shen Tangzhi myself, half of the reason was because I didn't have a frequency with her, and I didn't want to waste each other's energy and time in this regard, and the other half was because I needed to make up for a major mistake of mine.

I took the two armed policemen arranged by Cheng Cheng to help me, went directly to the detention room of the Chengnan Police Bureau, found the little policewoman named Xiao Zhou, and then brought out the tattooed bald head from the detention room - it was the experimental subject I had before.

Putting the bald head in full handcuffs and foot cuffs, and putting on a restraint suit, I had two armed police comrades throw him into the back seat of Cheng Cheng's car.

At this time, Cheng Cheng and Lao Dao also returned, and Lao Dao held the camera that could shoot infrared rays in his hand.

That's right, my big mistake was this - we had a living radar that could help us find the other end of that weird chain, but I didn't think of it and wasted a lot of time!

In my opinion, whether or not to find the body of Cheng Cheng's wife Li Xue is not the key to solving the case, the strange red chain is the answer to all questions.

The tattooed bald head has been in an extremely manic state since I stimulated it, and the old knife turned on the camera and immediately photographed the chain, and the direction of the chain was still Shinan.

According to the information provided by the tattooed bald head, our car was parked next to a fish market, which belongs to the southern district of Jinguan City, but it is different from the location of Cheng Cheng's house, in the southeast position, the nearby buildings are very old, and it is an old city.

It was already half past seven in the evening, and it was already dark, so I took advantage of the dimming light to look around me.

Fish markets usually don't open until the middle of the night until the early hours of the morning, when most of the stalls are not open, except for an old man wearing a red armband standing at the door of the fish market, smoking a cigarette and looking at us.

Opposite the fish market is an old neighborhood with four rusty characters on the arch of the community: Red Star Community.

"We've come full circle around the neighborhood, and the chain on this guy's chest keeps pointing like a compass into the neighborhood. It should be confirmed that the target is in this community. ”

The old knife said this, turned off the camera in his hand, the tattooed bald head in the back seat stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, stared at the old knife and sneered, the old knife scolded, gave him a backhand slap, and then found a rag from the car and stuffed it into the tattooed bald head's mouth.

"There are a total of thirteen buildings in this community, all of which are old-fashioned slab buildings, each with 12 floors, 10 rooms on each floor, and more than 1,500 households...... "I calculated, to Cheng Chengdao, "Cheng team, call for support." ”

Lockdown of the community, house-to-house investigations, and the possible evacuation of residents in the community all require a lot of manpower.

In view of the tragedy of the 517 serious case that occurred in Shinan Hospital, I cannot but act cautiously, because every negligence on my part may bring serious consequences of casualties.

Cheng Cheng had already thought of this, and while I was talking, he was already making a call on his mobile phone.

But at this time, the old knife suddenly let out an exclamation!

"W-What is that?" The old knife raised his finger and pointed at the air, and his mouth grew, "It's so fast!" ”

I hurriedly looked up in the direction of the old knife's finger, and just happened to see a thrilling scene - a black shadow was speeding on the roof of the residential building on the left side of the gate of the Red Star Community, and then, the black shadow jumped in the air, leaped over a distance of nearly twenty meters, and landed on the roof of a building next door, after a few seconds, the black shadow made an amazing jump in the air again, jumping to the roof of the building farther away.

"That's ...... What monsters? "The old knife tried his best to discern what that dark shadow was.

I was also puzzled, but when I heard a "snap", Cheng Cheng's mobile phone had fallen to the ground, and he stood all over, as if he had been electrocuted, and muttered: "That's, it's my daughter, Xiaozi!" I remember her wearing that sky blue dress......"

As soon as Cheng Cheng reminded me, I tried again to identify the image of the "monster" left in my mind, as if there was indeed a vague outline of a little girl, and I also had an impression of the sky blue, and then ...... The little girl seemed to be standing on top of another person...... The "man" looked more like a hybrid of some kind of feline and spider than a human.

"Catch up!"

I made a brief decision, dragged Cheng Cheng back to the car with a confused face, and the old knife didn't need my prompting, and sat directly in the driver's seat.

The throttle sounded, and the car had rushed out like an arrow from the string.

###

At the same time, more than 300 meters away from here, in an old apartment in a residential building in the Red Star Community......

In the living room, an old-fashioned LCD TV is playing a soap opera, and a man and a woman are dining in a western dining room, and the couple is whispering love words to the accompaniment of soft music.

There are no lights in the living room, but with the help of the light from the TV screen, you can see that the sofa facing the TV has been knocked to the ground, and a long bright red mark has not yet dried, starting from the sofa that has fallen to the floor, then extending outward from the wooden floor, and finally entering the bathroom with bright red drag marks.

The bathroom is lit with lights, the white tiles on the floor are covered with dark red smudges, and a woman has her back to the bathroom door with a stainless steel kitchen knife in her hand.

The kitchen knife fell together, and the woman let out a few muffled grunts with the rise and fall of the murder weapon in her hand.

The sound of the kitchen knife slashing at the bones and flesh was terrifying, and every time a small piece was chopped, the woman would throw it into the nearby bathtub, and the splash was also crimson.

The woman's name is Yang Lan.

She's ...... Dismemberment of corpses.

Her face was unusually pale, her expression was almost frozen, her chapped lips opened and closed slowly, and the words she spat out were as inaudible as mosquitoes—she had been tormented by fear and sin, and her mouth was nervously whispering and almost repeating the devil's whispers to her.

The cold sweat soaked through the vest, and the whole body was also stained with a piercing red, she sat curled up in a pool of blood, numbly carrying out the work at hand:

Hand up knife down, hand up knife down......

What she was doing now was not so much covering up the crime as it was numbing herself—exposing herself to more horrific things, allowing a greater sense of tension and fear to take over her brain......

There was a voice in Yang Lan's subconscious that reminded her over and over again: Once she wakes up, she will definitely be driven crazy by reason, so it is better to go on like this.

In addition, there was another doubt circling in Yang Lan's heart.

Just as Yang Lan started to kill, Yang Lan seemed to feel that someone was watching her.

This feeling of being spied on is very strange, as if someone is locking themselves in with their gaze from a distance, and that cold gaze is not like they have imagined it out of thin air, but has substance.

Even if Yang Lan closed all the windows of this old-style apartment like crazy after killing people, and pulled the curtains tightly, that cold gaze still seemed to shine through the endless void, staring at Yang Lan - like a poisonous snake that kept swallowing the scarlet snake letter, slowly climbed up Yang Lan's back, and couldn't shake it off.

Yang Lan even had a faint premonition......

The owner of that cold gaze was approaching him.

The strange thing is that in addition to fear, Yang Lan actually has some expectations - if it is his evil fragrance that attracts the devil, then, no matter what the devil plans, even if he comes to take away his soul, it will be a relief.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

The floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the balcony shattered, followed by the glass door between the balcony and the living room - something unusual seemed to have broken in.

That cold gaze is already like substance.

Cold sweat suddenly crawled all over Yang Lan's back.

Yang Lan slowly stopped what she was doing, turned her head tremblingly, and looked out of the bathroom door.

A naked, red-covered "man" — if that could be called a human — was lying on the wooden floor outside the bathroom door.

"It" has the head of a middle-aged man, but the body presents a strange and disgusting deformation: the skin of the whole body is cracked, the muscles that have lost the skin are so bloody and exposed, the limbs seem to be elongated, twice the length of ordinary people, and the dark nails are like the claws of a fierce beast, the head of the middle-aged man of "it" shows a cruel smile towards Yang Lan, and where the limbs land on the ground, the hard solid wood floor is scratched and the sawdust flies.

What's even more surprising is that on the back of this spider-monster-like man, there is actually a little girl standing.

Sky blue dress, white pantyhose, pale pink leather shoes, but a cute pink little face, there is no innocent smile that a child should have, instead there is a frost-shrouded expression and angry red eyes.

Like a terrifying humanoid monster crawling out of hell, a weird little girl standing on the back of a terrifying monster.

This little girl...... Who is it?!

Yang Lan only had time to flash this thought in her mind, and she immediately found that she didn't know when she had lost the ability to control her body as if she had been controlled by an invisible spell.

Yang Lan could only watch as the little girl raised her white slender arm and pointed it at herself, a dark red chain appeared out of thin air from the little girl's palm, Yang Lan's Adam's apple shook violently, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't make any sound in her throat......

In the next moment, the chain that seemed to stretch out from the deepest part of hell suddenly pierced through Yang Lan's chest!

The little girl's lips finally opened slowly, and she said in a commanding tone, as if she wanted to chew every word she spoke:

"Kill, kill, self, self."

Yang Lan's hand involuntarily raised, and in his hand was a bloodstained stainless steel kitchen knife.

Yang Lan's eyes widened to the extreme, and the blade of the stainless steel kitchen knife was gradually widening in her pupils......

The knife slashed down again.
