Chapter 5: Another Case!

Although I don't know who Mu Zihan is going to call at this time, I think it must be related to the case, so I didn't bother, and sure enough, the first sentence after Mu Zihan dialed the phone confirmed my guess. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Hey, Uncle Wang? Well, I'm Zihan. Oh, I'm fine. Mu Zihan communicated with Uncle Wang on the phone: "Uncle Wang, I just want to ask you, did there be a burglary and arson case five days ago?" Yes, yes, okay. What the! Where is it? Okay, then I'll go over now, you wait for me there. ā€

Yes, how could the police not know about such a major burglary, murder and arson case? Therefore, instead of asking some gossip, it is better to ask Uncle Wang directly, which will make it more convenient and quick to know the true situation of the case. Moreover, if this case is really related to the "butterfly mark", wouldn't that be the best entry point for us to participate in the investigation of the "butterfly mark"? However, Mu Zihan's appearance after that obviously made me incomprehensible, I don't know why he was halfway through the call, and his expression suddenly changed greatly, and he seemed to be surprised and anxious.

"Siyuan, get ready, we'll go out now." Before I could ask, Mu Zihan hung up the phone and turned to me, I could see that he was obviously in a hurry.

"Where to go? What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? I looked at the time and saw that it was almost 8 p.m., so I asked as I put on my coat.

"Uncle Wang said that the case was indeed committed by the 'butterfly mark', and it was the first case he committed in the past few days. Just now, the fourth case committed by him was discovered in the east of the city. Now Uncle Wang and they are on the scene, and we have to rush over immediately. After Mu Zihan answered, he hurriedly went out.

"Oh, wait for me." I closed the door of the office and hurried after it.

When we arrived at the scene of the fourth case, the scene was already full of fire trucks, ambulances and police cars, and among the many busy and orderly staff, we finally found Uncle Wang.

At this moment, Uncle Wang looked even more thin and tired, and his pale face showed that he had not had a good rest during this time.

"Zihan, you're here." Seeing us, Uncle Wang greeted us and said.

"Well, Uncle Wang, is this the "Butterfly Imprint" doing? Looking at the house in front of him, which was already pitch black everywhere and almost only empty shelves remained, Mu Zihan asked.

"That's right, you come with me." As he spoke, Uncle Wang led the two of us around the main entrance to the back door of the house, pointed to the side of one of the stairs and said, "See for yourself." ā€

Sure enough, on the cement surface on the side of the staircase, there was a black "butterfly" about the size of a palm, although the mark was a little blurry due to the burning of the fire, but it was not difficult to distinguish its shape, and this was also the first time I really saw the "butterfly" left behind by the "butterfly mark" after the crime.

"This is the fourth case in the last five days, and if you add the victims in this case, the number of victims has reached 13, including four young children. The case you just called me about was the first one. It's in another neighborhood not far from here. Saying that, Uncle Wang looked at Mu Zihan with a solemn face and said: "Zihan, you have also seen the ferocity of the 'Butterfly Mark', if you are known by him that you did not die in a traffic accident three years ago, he will definitely target you again, so ......"

"Uncle Wang, you don't have to say it anymore, I know you care about my safety. However, if you want me to withdraw from the investigation of this case, I can only say that I will not obey it. If you're not willing to help me, I'll do it my way. Believe me, even if you use your authority to detain me, I will be able to escape, and you will not forget how I escaped three years ago. Therefore, Uncle Wang, if you really care about me, then you should not persuade me to stop, but tell me as much detail as possible about all the information and information related to this case that you know, as long as I catch the 'butterfly mark', then I will be safe." Mu Zihan interrupted Uncle Wang's words and said, "Moreover, according to my observation, these cases may not really be committed by the "Butterfly Mark", and it is very likely that it is just a perverted imitator. ā€

"You really have the same stubborn temper as your father, okay, I can give you all the information I have, and I agree with you to participate in the investigation of this case, but after that, all your actions must be arranged by me, and at the same time, I will also send two criminal policemen to protect you closely, Zihan, this is already my biggest concession, and it is also my bottom line." Uncle Wang also had a serious face, obviously he also thought that if Mu Zihan was allowed to do it alone, it might indeed be more dangerous, so he had to make concessions, and after seeing Mu Zihan nodding, he continued: "As for you saying that this is not the 'Butterfly Mark', in fact, our police are also suspicious, after all, although the former 'Butterfly Mark' has a record of robbery and murder, there has never been arson and sexual assault, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove this." ā€

"Well, as long as I don't stop investigating this case, I can listen to you in everything I do until this case is closed. As for your statement that you will send a criminal police officer to protect me, I don't think it's necessary, because if you do this, it will be easier to expose me. After Mu Zihan paused after speaking, he continued: "Let's not talk about these things first, Uncle Wang, how is the situation of the victims of this case now?" ā€

"The owner of the house has not survived any of his family, and the body has been removed by ambulance pending further investigation by forensic medical examiner. As for other cases, the fire brigade and the forensic department are collecting evidence, do you want to check it out as well? Uncle Wang shook his head and said, it could be seen that he was also very sad about this situation in his heart, and at the same time took out two pairs of white gloves from his pocket and handed them to Mu Zihan and me.

After putting on the gloves, Mu Zihan and I followed Uncle Wang into the house that had almost burned to empty shelves. My first impression when I got started was a pungent smell of burnt paste and standing water all over the floor. In this messy environment, several staff members in police uniforms are squatting or standing to collect evidence at the scene.

After Mu Zihan walked into the house, he didn't start to check it directly, but first scanned the entire house as a whole, and then stood on the edge of the three yellow wire frames marked on the ground, and asked Uncle Wang, "Is the location of the three victims here?" ā€

"Yes, this is the owner of the house, this is his wife, and as for the little one, it is their daughter." Uncle Wang explained.

"When did this fire start? What about the security guards in the community? Could it be that he watched three people being burned to death? I couldn't bear to ask, because the situation on the scene was really shocking.

According to the security guards who called the police, they noticed smoke coming out of the house at around 7 p.m., and immediately reported the fire after coming to check on it. At the same time, I heard that someone in the house was calling for help, and I wanted to go in to save people, but the fire in the house was so fierce that I couldn't get in at all. Uncle Wang replied: "By the time the fire brigade arrives, it's too late." ā€

"How can it be so fast, a small villa type house like this, the fire protection measures should be very good. The fire started too fast. "I can't understand that this kind of high-end apartment is equipped with strict fire protection measures, even if there is a fire, it is impossible to suddenly become so big that it is impossible to go in and save people, and I even wonder if the security guards are negligent in their duties, which will cause this tragedy.
