Chapter 16: Nightmares
There was only one wound on Luo Xing's body, that is, in his throat, a deep knife completely cut the carotid artery and throat, and the blow was fatal.
I looked at the wound carefully, the murder weapon should be a knife such as a short dagger, the incision is neat, indicating that the murder weapon is very sharp, the right side of the wound is slightly shallower than the left side, and combined with the radial blood stains on the ground, it can be concluded that this knife is from left to right.
When ordinary people see this, they will think that the murderer is a left-hander, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that the fastest and most ruthless way to cut a person's throat head-on is not to cut with a knife in hand, but to cut with a knife in the backhand!
And the appearance of the wound on Luo Xing's throat was obviously cut off by someone with a backhand knife with extremely fast hand speed.
I secretly remembered in my heart that if I meet a murderer in the future, I must be careful, this guy is familiar with some murder methods, and he can't be careless.
Moreover, I have a feeling that the murderer should have left after seeing that Luo Xing was completely helpless.
Because I think that this murderer, who has killed people several times, and his series of reactions and methods, have given me a feeling of extreme calmness and confidence. I firmly believe that if he attacks Luo Xing, it will never give Luo Xing a glimmer of hope for survival, and he will not leave until he is cut off.
In the cases I have come into contact with involving homicide, generally speaking, one of the common characteristics of murderers with such a degree of calm is, of course, to be smart, and then, either ruthless by nature, or feel that what they are doing is just, deserved, or even ...... Just.
Killing β depriving others of their right to live...... It turned out to be a kind of "justice"!
Compared with many cruel criminals, I feel more desperate for this kind of murderer who has the mentality of "justice", and I think this is the real sense of madness.
Now, I can almost 100% conclude that it was the same person who killed Lin Sen, Fang Zhe, and Luo Xing.
Moreover, it is very likely that this person has killed other people, because Fang Zhe and Lin Sen's death method is to cut the arteries of the limbs, and Luo Xing's throat-cutting technique, the murderer is the first time to perform it in front of us - obviously, to be so skilled, he has to practice it on others at least once.
In my mind's eye, the murderer's blurred face, covered in shadows, gradually revealed its outline: a cunning, patient, ruthless killer and conspirator, and in an extremely crazy state of mind.
Coming to my senses, I continued to examine Roxing's body.
Compared with the cause of Luo Xing's death, I am actually more interested in his expression when he was dying.
Due to a large amount of blood loss, the complexion on Luo Xing's face is now a little blue-white, and he looks a little crazy, but if you look at it together with the expression on his face that is solidified, it will make people feel cold down their backs.
Luo Xing's eyes were round, and he even looked like he was about to fall out of his sockets, and at the same time, his mouth was wide open, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched upward, which looked extremely unnatural and chilling.
Luo Xing's expression was both shocked and frightened.
Frightened, the word actually has two meanings, one is surprise and the other is fear.
It just so happened that Luo Xing's face was both.
When I checked Luo Xing's body, it was squatting, and then I stood up and slowly looked at everything in the room, and my body slowly turned around with my vision.
Things in the room were a bit of a mess, but it didn't look like a sign of a fight, but it looked like Roxing himself had fallen backwards and knocked over......
At this time, the old knife had already finished the call, and he was in a hurry to say something to me, but I had roughly guessed what he was going to tell me through his speech when he was on the phone, I raised my palm and stopped him from speaking, at the same time, I closed my eyes, and in my mind, based on my speculation, simulated the experience of Luo Xing before his death:
Someone knocked on the door.
This person is likely to have been in contact with Luo Xing in advance, or he directly spoke to Luo Xing through the door, no matter what, he must be a person Luo Xing is very familiar with.
Roshing may have hesitated a little, but finally opened the door.
Seeing the person standing outside the door, Luo Xing was so surprised that he was so frightened that he retreated and finally fell to the ground, but the other party took the opportunity to rush up, held down Luo Xing, and slashed Luo Xing's throat with a backhand.
Then the murderer stood up, probably with a mocking smile on his face, which was grim.
Luo Xing was fatally stabbed and died in extreme fear......
Then, just as the killer was about to leave the scene, he heard someone coming upstairs.
In the end, the murderer succeeded in the sneak attack, seriously injured Li Yi, and fled calmly.
I revisited it again, convinced that it would be like this, and then I opened my eyes.
There was only one question swirling in my mind: Who was the one who came in and killed Roxing?
This person is very familiar with Luo Xing, and after Luo Xing confirms that it is him, he will be so surprised and frightened.
This person was completely unexpected by Luo Xing, and even his appearance seemed to be a completely impossible thing at all - that's why Luo Xing was both shocked and afraid!
My heart was pounding!
Because, at this very moment, a name suddenly popped into my head!
My whole body trembled almost instantly!
That's right, only he meets all the conditions.
All the mysteries, if there is his name as the answer to the mystery, can be roughly explained.
But my excitement didn't last long: the answer emerged, but how do you prove it?
This is another headache.
He, after all, is a person who ...... "impossible to appear".
At this point, I no longer doubt the accuracy of my inferences, because when the possibilities are eliminated one by one, the last one remains, no matter how unreasonable and impossible it is, will be the truth of the facts.
What worries me is, if all my speculations are true, then will such a murderer who has scheming and cold-bloodedness send chills down my spine really leave such a big flaw in me?
Could this flaw be another trap?
And Lao Dao and I seem to have stepped on the edge of this dangerous trap that I don't know if it doesn't exist.
Next, as long as we take one wrong step, I am afraid that we will be doomed.
"What comes to mind with such a strange expression on your face?" The old knife finally spoke.
I restrained the expression on my face, but instead of answering Lao Dao's question first, I asked rhetorically, "Isn't Li Yi sure of the murderer?" β
"The killer wore a hat and a mask. Now I can only be sure that it is a man, judging from his body shape and tone, he is not very old, under thirty-five-this phone call is considered a vain, these things, we can analyze from the footprints in the corridor. Saying that, but the old knife couldn't see a look of frustration on his face, and he slapped me on the shoulder, "Do you kid already know who the murderer is?" You don't have to pretend, it's useless! Just like you just now, you tremble like a boy possessed, and if you don't know anything, it's an insult to my IQ. β
"I did think of a new possibility." I smiled wryly, "It's just...... When I say it, it's probably a bit too bizarre. β
"Sell less. Lao Tzu, I have been a policeman for many years, and the strange and strange cases I have seen are not necessarily as well-informed as you, a god. The old knife snorted, "Don't mention nonsense, quickly explain it to Lao Tzu." β
Originally, I was waiting to obtain more evidence, and then put forward my suspicions, but since Lao Dao couldn't wait, I didn't sell it, so I told Lao Dao about my idea at the moment.
When listening to my story, the old knife's expression was first incredulous, then pondering, and finally, when I listed the points that could be corroborated, although the old knife still hesitated, he couldn't help but nod his head a few times.
"All I can say is absurd, but it's fucking reasonable!" The old knife said, "If everything is as you expected, then, what is the purpose of this murderer?" He has done so many plans and sacrifices that ordinary people can't even think about, what can he get in exchange? β
I sighed and said slowly, "Have you forgotten that strange dream?" β
"Could it be that 'he'-" I woke up the dreamer with a word, and the old knife gasped, "'he' is red satin?!" β
The disbelief in Old Dao's tone was naturally audible, "As far as the information I know so far, I can't think of any other possibilityβunless there is something else hidden in it. I said.
The old knife almost took a step back, his face suddenly became ugly, and he said, "Oh my God, we are actually involved in a resentment of life and death!" β
I fully understand why Lao Dao said this and behaved like this, and to be honest, after thinking about this, I also had some doubts, and even had the idea that I could get out of it if I wanted to.
Why do I think that?
First, if this matter involves the retribution of past and present lives, and reincarnation, it is actually difficult to judge who is right and who is wrong, because in this life, you may be a guilty murderer, but in the previous life, you may be an innocent person who was killed. How can outsiders make judgments, and what rights and qualifications do they have to make judgments?!
Second, I have heard from several seniors in the industry that if you receive this kind of "dead loop" case involving the reincarnation of the world and endless retribution, you must be cautious! If you can, don't shoot! Because such a "dead cycle" will inevitably accumulate resentment like a sea, even the six reincarnations do not accept these resentful ghosts who have been killing endlessly in life and life, if you rashly intervene, it is good to be able to solve this "dead cycle", if you can't solve it, then, these days of anger and resentment of the "dead cycle people", I am afraid that you will also complain about you, and when the time comes, you will be involved in it, and you will really suffer from generation to generation, and regret is beyond reach!
Although the old knife didn't understand this, he also intuitively smelled the power of the relationship, not to mention me, a spiritual detective who knew the inside story!
I explained to Lao Dao the truth about the "Dead Loop", and also explained the benefits and disadvantages, and then I said to him: "Lao Dao, this is the case. Let me tell you first, this is the end of the matter, I'm afraid we both have been involved, I just hope that we don't get involved deeply, and it may be too late to get out now. But since the matter is in front of us, it is a dilemma to care about it or not. Whether to continue the investigation, you have to think clearly. β
The old knife frowned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes were blazing, looking directly into my eyes, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" β
I forced a smile and spread my hands, "To tell you the truth, I'm very, very hesitant. β
"What's the hesitation?"
"I'll give you an analogy. It's like when I go to a bar in the middle of the night, and the bar is full of beautiful women, all of whom have different flavors, drunk and hazy, and the most important thing is that they are all talking to me, but at this time someone told me that I could only make an appointment. Say, "Whom do you dreak?" β
Hearing me say this, the old knife was stunned for about two or three seconds, and suddenly laughed, "This analogy is very wonderful!" Beauty is different. Some people are just greedy for ambiguity, and if you really go up to make an appointment, you may be slapped in the face; There are also people who seek stimulation, but they have to be startled when they remove their makeup; There are even more people who may coincide with your frequency, but their mother's family has married someone early, and you only have a moment of spring supper after all! Hahaha, the best part is that you are reduced to going on a date, which is a tragedy in itself! β
The old knife laughed for a while, stretched out his hand to press my shoulder, and smiled, "But, no matter what, since you came to the bar and invited a round of wine, wouldn't it be even more of a loss to grandma's house if you didn't try to make an appointment?" β
The old knife stopped laughing, but I began to laugh.
Because I know he understands what I'm saying.
So I nodded, "You know, I'm afraid of death, and greedy for money, but I was born with a cheap life that overcame all obstacles, and I also had dismal fortune, and I really fell to the street, but I love to get to the bottom of it, especially those strange things, once encountered, if you can't find the truth, life will lose the fun!" What's more, I can't get used to those bastards who obviously do bad things, but are full of excuses, as if the whole world owes him. β
The old knife also snorted and said: "Your brother and I are a hard life, in the early years of being a policeman, it was nine deaths, and when encountering danger, it was as ordinary as drinking porridge and pickles, no big deal!" Moreover, the case that fell into the hands of Lao Tzu has never been pushed out! It's not the first, and it won't be the last! Lao Tzu wants to see, what kind of 'dead cycle' is this, is it as evil as you say? β
