Chapter 25: Three birds with one stone
My memories of what happened in the aftermath are blurry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info just remembered in a trance, there seemed to be a lot of people in all kinds of uniforms walking around me, there seemed to be fire police, criminal police, and doctors and nurses, they all seemed to be in a hurry, as if they were all shouting something, but I couldn't hear their voices at all.
Immediately after, a deep darkness hit me, like a huge black hole full of infinite gravity, constantly pulling me in, so that I was powerless to struggle, I could only watch myself sink deeper and deeper, and finally completely enveloped in darkness. Suddenly, in the darkness, a blood-red "butterfly" fluttered its brilliant wings in the center of the dark vortex, as if it was showing me its demagogic charm.
However, it soon became clear to me that as time passed, this bewitching butterfly was becoming larger and more indistinct. It was like a drop of thick ink dripping on pure white rice paper, and the blood-like red continued to spread in the darkness. Eventually, the butterflies disappeared completely, and the dark whirlpool was completely dyed bright red. Suddenly, the face of the guard driver, who had been connected several times, took the place of the butterfly and appeared in the center of the whirlpool, and the surrounding picture began to become clearer, and I seemed to be back to the moment when I just opened the door to the room on the third floor. The difference is that at this moment, in that pool of blood, the guard driver is laughing fiercely in the sky, and behind him are four horrible corpses.
The most eye-catching thing is that Liu Chiming, who was originally covered in injuries, saw him lying on his back on the bed that had been stained red by his own blood, his eyes full of unwillingness, as if he was wordlessly complaining about God's injustice to him. A terrible wound that was still bursting with blood appeared on his otherwise intact neck, cutting off his short life. And his wife, Chen Huijuan, was lying on his chest, obviously silent. Because, a sharp blade with only the hilt of the knife still exposed, stuck straight into her vest. As for the two medical staff who rushed back with stretchers before, they were also lying on the side without knowing anyone, and the white coat that originally symbolized saving lives and helping the wounded had also been stained red with blood at this moment.
"Siyuan, Siyuan, you're okay, wake up!"
Just when I looked at it more and more, and I couldn't help but tremble, Mu Zihan's shout sounded in my ears, from far to near, more and more clear. Suddenly, I felt as if a large, invisible hand was grabbing my back and dragging me farther and farther away from the image.
"Uh, what's wrong with me?" I woke up suddenly, sat up straight, looked around dimly, and found that I didn't know when, I was actually lying in a room that I was not familiar with, and the surroundings were also very quiet, and there was only Mu Zihan, who was a little disgraced because of the firefighting, but his eyes were still bright, so he asked in a daze.
"We are still in Uncle Chen's villa, and you suddenly fainted just now, so I sent you to rest in this relatively quiet empty room on the second floor. How is your body feeling now? Is it better? Mu Zihan replied a little anxiously.
"By the way, has the fire on the fourth floor been extinguished? How's the Library? Also, how happened to Liu Chiming and his wife and the two medical staff? By the way, the 'Butterfly Mark' is most likely the guard driver of Uncle Chen that we saw during the day, I just saw him drive away, you go and chase him. Hearing Mu Zihan's words, I suddenly remembered the scene I saw before I fainted, and said incoherently.
"Siyuan, don't worry, I know all this, you have been in a coma for more than three hours. You see, it's starting to light up outside. As he spoke, Mu Zihan pointed to the window of the room, and saw that from the gap in the curtains that had been drawn, he could indeed vaguely see that the sky outside the window had turned gray and revealed the white of the fish's belly.
Then, he replied: "The fire on the fourth floor was extinguished more than an hour ago, but almost all the books and materials inside have been burned. Moreover, after the fire investigation scene, it was determined that the fire was indeed deliberately set on fire by using gasoline, which is why the fire was so violent. However, fortunately, the two criminal policemen who were originally left in the data room on the fourth floor to collect evidence were only knocked unconscious by a sneak attack, and they were fine, and now they have been sent to the nearest hospital for treatment by the ambulance that arrived later. Mu Zihan said with a regretful expression.
"As for the suspects in the Chen Bo case, Liu Chiming and his wife, it has been confirmed that they are dead. Hey, now Uncle Wang has sent police officers to the police station for a final autopsy to see if he can find some specific information about the 'butterfly mark' from their corpses. However, I think the hope is very slim. However, fortunately, the two previous medical personnel were only seriously injured and not life-threatening, and other ambulances had already been sent to first aid. After a pause, Mu Zihan continued to answer: "I really never expected that the guard driver who looked honest was actually the 'Butterfly Mark', and he was so cunning to kill three birds with one stone, and all of us were completely tricked by him." ”
"Three birds with one stone? Isn't it a move away from the mountain? I regained some of my spirits, and I was interested in Mu Zihan's words, so I couldn't help but interject and ask.
"Turning the tiger away from the mountain is just one of them. He first took advantage of the fact that we were investigating the case of Chen Bo and distracting the police and their attention, and secretly took out a large amount of gasoline from the fuel tank of the car parked in the parking lot of the villa courtyard, and then quietly carried it up to the fourth floor. Then, the sneak attack knocked out two criminal police officers who were still collecting evidence at the crime scene on the fourth floor, and used gasoline to set fire to the data room. In doing so, he destroyed the secret that Chen Bo had hidden in the data room, which was very likely related to the 'butterfly'. Mu Zihan began to analyze me carefully.
"Then, it's what you call 'turning the tiger away from the mountain'. After he completed the arson, he immediately rushed back to the third floor, and before Liu Chiming could say important information, he used the fire in the data room as an excuse to throw the scene into chaos and attract all of our attention to the fourth floor. And after we all left the room in a hurry to evacuate or put out the fire, he implemented his plan to kill people and kill Liu Chiming, who was very likely to know some of Uncle Chen's secrets, and brutally murdered him. ”
After that, he used the rope tied to the railing of the balcony of Liu Chiming's room at that time, avoided you who were standing in front of the main entrance at the time, came to the courtyard parking lot from the back of the villa, and drove the car of Uncle Chen, the only one who had not been touched by him, and fled the scene. Because Uncle Wang thought that the case had been solved, he called the police officers who were originally guarding the door to help extinguish the fire, so he escaped easily. Speaking of this, Mu Zihan sighed deeply, as if he was sighing for missing the great opportunity to catch the "Butterfly Imprint".
"Then let Uncle Wang go to the traffic blockade, don't let him run away." I urged anxiously.
"You don't have to worry about this, Uncle Wang has already notified the traffic department to block the whole line and track down the car. Siyuan, the most important thing for you now is to rest well, you don't have to worry about anything else, just leave it to me. As he spoke, Mu Zihan stood up, as if he was about to leave: "This incident, although we missed the secret that Uncle Chen hid in the data room, it also caused Uncle Chen's family to suffer a painful loss. However, Saion lost his horse, and he didn't expect to be able to catch the big fish of 'Butterfly Mark', which was a harvest anyway. ”
"Zihan, how is Siyuan?" At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and Uncle Wang, who was as disgraced as Mu Zihan, walked in in a hurry.
