Chapter Twenty-Four: The Living Mouth
After Chen Zhong returned to New York, he still worked and rested as usual, and the sweet kiss in Paris, France also remained in the depths of his memory.
Alexis told Casel and the others that a mysterious person saved her, and Cassel didn't say anything about meeting her father, everyone has their own secrets, but Chen Chong's secrets are a little more.
Chen Chong still often goes to Brooklyn's small restaurant to eat, Max and Catherine, a pair of sisters, is very attractive to him, regardless of the relationship between men and women, just appreciate their optimism, Chen Chong wants to fund them to open a cake shop with a little money, but is rejected by Max, who has strong self-esteem.
Today, it is rare that there is no homicide, Catherine and Max called, asking Chen Zhong to help them transport a few pieces of second-hand furniture, and the helpful Chen Zhong drove a rented container truck to the second-hand store that had been promised.
Chen Zhong found the sisters in front of the store and loaded the bed and sofa and some cabinets that Kecks and Catherine had bought into the car.
Drove to their apartment, moved the furniture to them, and visited by the way, the chaos in the room opened Chen Zhong's eyes, the horses raised in the yard raised their apartment a lot, and after sitting on the sofa and eating two small cakes, Chen Zhong got up and prepared to send the car back to the rental car shop.
When closing the rear compartment, some dark red stains in the carriage attracted Chen Chong's attention, and Chen Chong seemed to smell the smell of sin, often touching corpses and blood.
Chen Zhong took out a bottle of luminol and a flashlight from his tool kit, jumped into the car, closed the door of the container truck, and sprayed the luminol everywhere, and a three-foot-high sheet of blood appeared on the door, which appeared to be caused by trauma caused by a blunt object.
After returning the container truck, Chen returned to his apartment and used the computer to check the records of the rental car company, which showed that the container truck was finally rented to a man named Boyd. Fowler's man, he worked as a nurse in a hospital.
Chen Zhong stalked this Boyd. Fowler didn't notice anything unusual for a few days, until Boyd drove his pickup truck to a swamp on the outskirts of the city, which was littered with rubbish, like a garbage dump.
Boyd unloaded a large oil drum from the pickup truck and drove it into the swamp, and he quickly drove away.
After Boyd walked away, Chen Zhong came to the side of the oil drum and opened the lid, and suddenly a rancid smell and the smell of formalin came out, and in the oil drum was the corpse of a girl soaked in formalin.
Chen Zhong took a few photos of the corpse, looked around, and found that there were more than a dozen such oil drums in the swamp, and after opening them one by one, sure enough, there was a female corpse soaked in each oil drum, all of which were blonde women between the ages of 18 and 30, and these corpses were covered with scars, and they all looked like they had been abused before their deaths.
Boyd placed the girls in the swamp, where he was supposed to store his trophies, and more than a dozen girls were killed, and it seemed that he had found another very evil target.
……
In a luxury apartment in the affluent neighborhood of New York City, Chen Zhong examines a corpse, the body of a woman who has been folded and stuffed into a wall safe.
Esposito briefed Beckett on the scene, "The deceased's name is Susan. Delgado, whose husband died a few years ago, and her daughter Joanna came here to find that the door had been pried open, and then called the police, and the precious jewelry in the safe was looted, this is already the fourth robbery in recent times, but it seems that this time the murderer's methods have escalated. ”
After a cursory inspection of the crime scene, Chen Zhong said: "The murderer used a feather pillow as a silencer to shoot the deceased at close range, and the murderer cut off her finger with a knife in order to get the deceased's wedding ring. For the rest, I won't be able to tell you the details until the staff get the body out of the safe and transport it to the lab. ”
There was nothing to do with the scene for the time being, and Chen Zhong began to study the plan to punish Boyd at night.
After investigating the evidence of the criminals, and with the help of the supernatural abilities, it seemed easy to subdue the criminals every time, and Chen Zhong sat on a chair in Boyd's bedroom and waited for him to wake up.
Boyd, who woke up, found himself tied to a back chair and said to Chen Chong, "Who are you?" What's going on? Let me go. ”
Chen Chong took his mobile phone and showed the picture of the girl's body in the oil drum to Boyd, "It doesn't matter who I am, you know all these girls, right?" 'Let go of me' did these dead girls say this to you? ”
Boyd struggled for a moment and said, "Who the hell are you?" ”
"I'm just a murderer like you, except that you're killing innocent people, and I'm here to punish you."
"But I am helping them, they are suffering at this time, and I am bringing them out of the sea of suffering." Boyd said beggingly.
Chen Zhong took the dagger and said to him: "Yes, what you said is very reasonable, you are really kind, and I will also help you get out of the sea of suffering now." Boyd. Fowler, I now declare ......"
After Boyd was killed, he painted his own sun mark on the wall, and Chen Chong suddenly felt that someone was staring at him, and hurriedly looked at the bedroom door, and there was a pair of eyes on the glass on the door looking at him.
I didn't even notice this person, Chen Chong, who was furious, quickly came to the door, opened the bedroom door, and a blonde girl covered in injuries fell into Chen Chong's arms.
Chen Zhong placed the fainted girl on Boyd's bed, found a damp cloth and wiped her face, revealing a beautiful young face, this girl was about 20 years old, looking at the scars on her body and blonde hair, this should be another prey for Boyd.
Looking at the girl lying on the bed, Chen Zhong was a little worried. Everything she had done to Boyd just now was seen by her, and if she let her go, she would be exposed, but she couldn't kill an innocent girl.
Find the medical kit in Boyd's house and consider what to do with the girl while wiping her wounds.
The girl gradually woke up and began to scream frantically to rush out of the house, Chen Chong could only pull her back, seeing that her spirit was greatly stimulated and could not be stabilized at all, Chen Chong had to take out the anesthetic needle and give it to her.
Chen Zhong lifted her into his car and drove to the swamp where Boyd stored his oil drums.
When she was about to arrive, the girl woke up again, and she was sitting in the passenger seat, like a small animal that had been injured, curled up in the seat with her hands and feet in her hands.
Chen Zhong pulled her out of the car, came to the oil drum placed in the swamp, uncovered the lid of the oil drum, pointed to the female corpse inside and said to her: "Look at this, this is the fate of the female child before you, originally this is also your fate, you look around, these barrels are filled with the corpses of girls killed by Boyd, Boyd used formalin to save them, so that he can relive his old dreams." Do you understand? I saved you. ”
The girl's spirit finally recovered a little, and she said with difficulty: "How do I know that you didn't kill these girls?" ”
Chen Zhong closed the lid of the oil drum and said to her: "If they are killed by me, it will be much simpler, I can kill you directly, but unfortunately I can't do anything to innocent people." ”
The girl thought for a while, and said to Chen Chong: "Okay, what you said makes sense, my name is Karen, I was humiliated for a long time after I was caught by them, and I was sent to the hidden basement of that house yesterday and locked up." ”
After listening to Karen's words, Chen Zhong said in surprise: "They? Are you saying that Boyd didn't commit the crime alone? ”
Karen nodded and said, "No, there are at least five of them." ”
Chen Zhong looked at the more than ten oil drums in the swamp and said to himself, "This matter seems to be very troublesome." ”
