Chapter 9: The Man with the Scar

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was unusually hot, and it was not long before the dark clouds were overwhelming, and it seemed that it was about to rain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

A white Santana police car pulled up on the side of the road, the door opened, and two uniformed police officers stepped out.

The tall policeman stretched his face and complained: "If it weren't for this case, my wife and I would have gone to Thailand for a trip now." ā€œ

"Getting married and traveling to Thailand? Watching shemales? I really don't know what you two think? To go to romantic places such as Maldives, Bali, Jeju Island, etc. The short man teased.

"Can you handle it? You are envious, jealous, hateful. The psychology of single dogs is abnormal. The tall man raised his voice.

"A single dog is also a dog, and your show of affection is cruel dog abuse." The short man was not convinced.

While laughing, the two came to a store called "Express Rental Rental Store". The shop is not large, and there are a few cars parked in the open space in front of the store.

As soon as the two entered the store, a chubby man greeted them and said with a smile, "Officer, what's the matter?" ā€œ

"We are from the Chengnan District Police Station, and this is our ID. We're here to investigate and verify some of the facts. We're going to meet your boss. "Short man is serious, and he looks like he is businesslike.

"I'm the boss. Whatever is commanded. The fat man hunched his waist, and the chicken pecked rice and nodded.

"May I ask if the license plate number is Ji C020AB, is it your dealership?" The tall policeman pulled out his notebook and began to write something.

"yes, what's wrong?" The fat man was nervous for a while and said eagerly.

"At 9:20 a.m. today, someone drove this white Toyota SUV with license plate number Ji C020AB and attempted to drive and murder a young woman at the Haitang intersection." The tall policeman said lightly.

"What about my car?" The boss blurted out, and immediately felt that the question was inappropriate, and hurriedly added, "How is the young woman?" ā€

The short policeman glanced at the fat man with a slightly meaningful look, and then said, "The woman is seriously injured and is now being rescued." The killer has abandoned the car and fled, and your car has been found not far from the crash. However, we are going to impound your car until the results of the survey come in. Please take the rental record of this car within a week and show us. Thank you for your cooperation. ā€

"Definitely, we will fully cooperate." The fat man turned around, immediately changed his stern look, and said to the little girl at the counter: "Xiao Li, according to the police officer's request, you show the police officer the car rental record with the license plate number of Ji C020AB within this week." ā€œ

"Okay, boss." The little sister replied crisply. She then pulled out a thick notebook from a drawer, found the car rental record of the C020AB, and handed it to the police.

After checking the rental records, they confirmed that the C020AB had been rented by a man named Li Wenbin the day before the incident, and his identification number was on the record. Upon verification, it was found that the identity card on the record was forged.

"Can you remember what the man looked like?" The tall policeman looked up at Xiao Li.

Xiao Li carefully recalled: "The man was estimated to be in his forties, very tall and thin. ā€

"I see that you have so many car rental records every day, why do you remember him so clearly?"

"Because when he came to rent a car that day, it was very hot, and he actually wore a black cap, so I took a special look at him."

"What is the shape of the face? What are the facial features? ā€

"His hat was so tightly covered that I couldn't see it clearly." Xiao Li shook his head.

The tall policeman was a little disappointed, but he was still unwilling to continue to ask, "Is there anything special about his appearance?" ā€

Xiao Li thought for a while, and suddenly said loudly, "By the way, I remembered, he has a scar on the lower left side of his face." When he pulled out his wallet, one of the business cards fell off, and I bent down to pick it up for him, and I saw the scar from the bottom up. ā€

The short policeman was a little excited, and motioned to everyone present to be quiet, hoping that Xiao Li would remember more.

"What's that business card?"

"It's like a hotel card."

"What hotel?"

"I didn't see it clearly, I just glanced at it, and it looked like there were four flowers printed next to the name of the hotel."

Four flowers? What kind of hotel bears the sign of four flowers? This is an important clue, and the next step is to search for the man with the scar in the city-wide hotels with flower signs.

Over the next week, they checked all the hotels in the city, but unfortunately none of them had a sign with flowers.

At the same time, news also came from the Skynet monitoring office that there was no monitor installed at the intersection where the accident occurred, and even the murderer abandoned the car and fled all the way was not monitored. This shows that the murderer had carefully designed the escape route before committing the crime.

The clues of the case are deadlocked......

A quiet and spacious room. In the center of the room was a large red desk.

A clean, ash-free black square cotton cloth was laid on the table. A pair of thin black hands nimbly shuffled through the smooth surface of the tarot cards.

The word tarot is taken from the Egyptian words tar (way) and ro (king), which means "royal way". Therefore, "tarot" itself refers to the right decision-making power that a king should have, which is also the origin of this method of divination.

Originally, "tarot" was not used for divination in the form of cards, but originated from the Book of Chatter in ancient Egypt. The Book of Chats is a mystical book dedicated to conveying the will of the gods, according to which the pharaohs made various decisions. When the Egyptian dynasty was wiped out, in order to prevent the aliens from getting their hands on the book, they drew it into a card and gave it to the priests. It was later introduced to Europe by Alexander, and in the Middle Ages the modern tarot card was formed.

The tarot cards on the table now, after a series of intricate and skillful shuffling, cutting, selection and opening of the cards by those hands, the last card comes into view.

A devil's tarot card.

The demon has a pair of antlers and a pair of bat wings on its back. Body with a hairy body with sharp claws on the toes. The demon sat on a black pedestal, with a burning flame hanging from his left hand. On either side of the demon were a slave-like man and a woman, both of whom were shackled around their necks.

However, when he opened, the demon was reversed. The reversed demon card symbolizes that he is relieving himself of his troubles in a positive way. Nothing can stop his evil actions anymore, including the use of extraordinary means to achieve his ends.

"Everything should end, and I will complete my mission." He put the cards back in the box and said to himself.

He looked up thoughtfully, an East Asian man in his fifties, with a Chinese face, small eyes, a collapsed nose, and scattered white hair on his temples.

There was a tuk-tuk knock at the door, polite and rhythmic.

"Come in" he packed up and sat up straight.

The young and beautiful female secretary walked in, "Chairman, there is an international call, from China, it is an emergency number, and it must be answered by you personally, I wonder if I can transfer it to you?" ā€

He didn't speak, but raised his wrist first and looked at the precious and beautiful Patek Philippe. The world's number one watch, known for its long history and impeccable design.

The time is just right, and the operation should be over. Now this call is coming, is it good news or bad news? He was both expectant and scared.

She was born with an attempted murder, and that fluke kept her alive.

He only had one chance left. It was on her 24th birthday that she was killed.

If he misses this time, he will not be able to destroy her, only to watch her grow stronger and stronger, destroy the curse, and thus change the fate of a fallen and extinct family.

He settled down and nodded to the female secretary.

When she walked out, after a few seconds of waiting, the phone was connected, and he picked up the microphone.

On the other end of the microphone, a man who is not very strong, especially his skin is sickly pale, which makes people feel that this person of about 1.8 meters looks quite thin.

His eyebrows are very light, his eyes are slender, the curve of his nose is not straight enough, but soft, in short, his facial features are somewhat feminine, which matches the pale skin well.

If someone passes by him on his left side now, they will notice that he is smiling, but the smile is indescribably weird. It was actually an illusion, starting from the corner of his left eye and extending to his lip, with a terrible scar.

"The operation went smoothly and the mission was successfully completed." The scar man said unhurriedly.

"Well, that's good."

The East Asian nodded in satisfaction and put down the phone.

He thought for a long time, got up from the comfortable chair, brushed his hair, gently rolled up the cuffs of his shirt, and stood in front of a large transparent floor-to-ceiling window for a pleasant bird's-eye view of the bustling city......
