Chapter 2 Clues
Three days have passed, and there has been no progress in the homicide case at the Golden Spring Building. The case has been transferred from Longhua New District to the city's Crime Scene Investigation Bureau for handling.
Faced with the pressure from above and the doubts of the case, Li Xiaoxiao's heart seemed to be covered with a thick layer of haze.
At this time, it was late at night, and Li Xiaoxiao looked at the death scene and information sent to him by Zhang Ju in front of the computer with a tired face. In the photo, the scene of the deceased can only be described as horrible. All of the corpses had a large hole in their hearts that had broken outward, and all the hearts inside were gone.
The cause of death of the victims in the autopsy report was very simple, a severe blow to the chest with an unknown instrument, and the loss of the heart......
What kind of weapon can break the human body from the inside out? Who can take the hearts of nineteen people without being discovered?
On the day of the incident, all the surveillance data of the Golden Spring Building was inexplicably lost, and even the most powerful technicians of the police station were unable to recover it, which made the case even more difficult.
No...... It's not just tricky...... It's that there is no clue at all......
Nineteen victims, from three different companies, had no special relationship with each other, eight women, 11 men, the youngest was nineteen years old, the oldest was fifty-four years old, and even one person was terminally ill before he died. All these indications indicate that this murder was a non-targeted murder at all......
And the most puzzling thing is the corpse that was fixed to the ceiling......
According to the police investigation, there was an extremely viscous transparent substance on the body, and the result of the analyzer turned out to be saliva! That's right, it's saliva!
"Hoo ......"
Li Xiaoxiao closed his laptop and stood up from his seat. A simple sleeveless base layer and stretch sweatpants make her figure look exquisite, and with that angelic look, any man could fall for her.
It's just that no matter how beautiful her face is, she can't hide the deep tiredness on her face.
Walking into the bathroom, she stripped off her clothes and turned on the shower, where the cool water poured down her long hair, down her shoulders and full breasts, and finally led to a small black drain on the floor.
Just when Li Xiaoxiao was immersed in the bath, suddenly, the light in the bathroom went out.
"Huh?"
She turned off the water, grabbed the towel from the towel rack and wrapped it around herself, then walked to the door and flipped the light.
The lights are on again.
But...... Just as Li Xiaoxiao walked into the bathing cubicle again, the light ...... Abruptly extinguished again!
A chill suddenly rose from Li Xiaoxiao's back. Even though she was a good police officer and an outstanding member of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, she couldn't help but get goosebumps when she encountered such a strange thing alone.
After all, without her identity, she was just a twenty-three-year-old single girl.
She didn't dare to stay in the bathroom anymore, but went straight back to the living room with a bath towel.
Li Xiaoxiao's residence is a small single apartment, only about 50 square meters, and the living room occupies nearly half of the area. She turned on the lights in the living room and the bedroom and looked around, but she didn't see anything wrong.
Could it be that there is a problem with the circuit?
Also...... After all, this neighborhood is a bit old...... Although it has been renovated, some circuits have not been updated, and it is easy to have problems due to aging.
She laughed to herself, then sat down on the couch in the living room. Picked up the TV remote control on the coffee table and pressed the switch.
The TV waits for a few seconds before popping up with a blue splash screen.
Then, she typed in Channel 24, intending to watch the midnight news for a while. However, this time, Channel 24 did not play normally as usual, but a white sand screen appeared, accompanied by bursts of piercing rustles, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but want to turn off the TV.
But...... She suddenly found that the shutdown button was out of order!
What's going on?
She pressed it several times in a row, but the TV still rustled, and the gray screen began to distort and deform, and a strange and terrifying scene appeared! It's like in the Japanese horror movie Midnight Bell!
At the same time, the lights in the living room and bedroom went out at the same time, while the picture of the TV was still distorted, distorted, and making strange noises!
Li Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and his gaze was frightened.
What is it?
What's in the TV?
At this moment, the TV suddenly flashed, and a naked person suddenly appeared in front of the coffee table, but this person's head was a white face with no face and no hair.
Ah——————!!h
Ding dong! Ding dong!
Li Xiaoxiao suddenly raised his head and woke up from his dream, and found that an email had popped up on his computer desktop.
She rubbed her eyes, and then remembered that she had a terrible nightmare.
OK...... It turned out that he fell asleep......
Click the mouse to open the email and find that the sender is Zhang Chaoyang from the Longhua New District Public Security Bureau.
'Xiao Li, this is the external camera recording of the Jinquan Building that you asked for a few days before and after the crime. ’
Li Xiaoxiao downloaded the file that Zhang Chaoyang passed to him, and then opened the video in turn and watched it carefully.
There are more than 30 videos in total, roughly divided into three time periods. They are before, on the day and after the crime.
The location of the monitoring is the front and back doors of the Jinquan Building, as well as the roads and intersections around the Jinquan Building.
When Li Xiaoxiao watched all these surveillance videos, the time was close to 3 o'clock in the morning, but unfortunately, from these videos, Li Xiaoxiao did not find any suspicious people.
Undeterred, she spent a lot of time going through the videos over and over again.
It wasn't until the light outside the window that she realized that the night was almost over.
Walking to the window, she twisted her neck and stretched, her eyes drooping slightly, and her eyes were bloodshot. It's been three days in a row...... She didn't sleep more than five hours in the past three days, and no matter how strong a person is, there are times when she falls, let alone a woman.
Originally, she planned to go to the scene of the crime to check it out, but her tired body had already made her lose motivation. All the clues that can be collected on the scene have been collected...... Today, let me take a good rest.
Thinking about it, she picked up the mobile phone on the desk and dialed the leader's number.
"Hey, Section Chief Wang, I want to take a leave of absence today...... I'm a little tired. ”
Wang Zhen on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Well, Xiao Xiao, you should have a good rest today, you have worked hard for the past few days." This case is full of suspicions, and it is not so easy to solve. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. What's more, you are not the only person in charge of this case, but also your colleagues. Let them share a little bit for you, too. ”
"Thank you, Section Chief Wang."
Hanging up the phone, Li Xiaoxiao came to the living room and half-lay on the sofa. I wanted to get a good night's sleep, but I couldn't sleep after thinking about it.
When I thought of last night's nightmare, I felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding in my heart.
At this moment, her gaze suddenly fell on a thick file book on the coffee table. Stretched out his hand and took it, and there were a few words printed on the cover - the city's difficult case investigation book.
This file records the difficult cases that have not been solved in Hucheng in the past five years, most of which are homicide, drug trafficking and smuggling cases. There are many reasons why these cases cannot be solved. Some lack evidence of conviction, and some are difficult to trace because the murderer has escaped and hidden.
Li Xiaoxiao flipped through it casually, and suddenly a photo caught her eye.
"Huh? This person ......"
The photo was the scene of a murder case in Nanjiang District three years ago, in which several police officers blocked a crowd of onlookers and reporters, and the person Li Xiaoxiao paid attention to was a man in the crowd.
The man, dressed in a black trench coat and a blue cap, was neither as close to each other as the melon-eating crowd nor crowded forward like a reporter. Instead, he just stood like that, abruptly.
Li Xiaoxiao seemed to have discovered something, and immediately ran to the computer desk in the bedroom, turned on the computer, and opened the surveillance video that had been saved before.
Fast forward! Fast forward! Fast forward again!
Pregnant!
With a click, Li Xiaoxiao froze the picture.
That's this man! On the day of the crime! The surveillance video outside the Jinquan Building recorded this scene, a group of reporters and a group of melon-eating people crowded outside the police blockade, and among the melon-eating people, there was a man wearing a black windbreaker and a blue peaked cap standing there silently with an umbrella, neither retreating nor forward, just standing, the same as 2 years ago!
Finally, Li Xiaoxiao found a clue that is extremely important to the case!
