Chapter 53: One Step Late
As soon as Wu Jiu's nervous words blurted out, I immediately sensed that something seemed to be wrong with the development of things.
In order to be able to cover up his identity, this guy would rather risk being discovered and kill Huang Ren under the noses of our two Priest Heavenly Masters, you can imagine how unscrupulous this guy is to achieve his goals.
And the woman we went to look for just now was a person who was on the balcony and witnessed the whole process of the Netherworld murder. Even though the Netherworld was only a translucent state at that time, his figure and clothes could definitely be seen clearly by the woman.
For such a woman, how could Netherworld, a cautious guy, let her live in the world?
So, if we are not wrong, the current Netherworld should have infiltrated the woman's home and was ready to brutally kill her
At the same time, the woman just now had finished drying all the pairs she had washed at the moment, and then stretched her waist and returned to the room.
In the morning, I experienced too many things beyond my ability to bear, so that the woman's mood at this moment became heavy.
Therefore, she was ready to get a good night's sleep, hoping to ease the depression in her heart.
But at the moment when she sat on the bed and was injured, there was another knock on the door.
I thought that Officer Wu, who had just now, might still have something to understand, so the woman didn't have too much reason, and immediately got up from the bed and walked to the front of the house with gentle steps.
Rubbing her slightly unkempt hair and coming to the door, the woman opened the door and asked suspiciously, "Officer Wu, is there anything else you want to ask?" That's all I know. ”
As the door of the house was opened, a handsome, tall man suddenly appeared in front of the woman.
Because the woman is a white-collar worker, she naturally has a lot of dealings with men on weekdays. However, the delicate appearance of the man in front of him made the woman look at it at her, and she had an inexplicable affection for him.
"Who are you?" A faint smile twitched at the corner of her mouth, and the woman asked softly.
"Hello, I am a police officer sent by Officer Wu to assist in the investigation, and I want to ask you to make a record, I don't know if it is convenient?" The police officer looked at the woman at this time, and then replied.
His eyes slightly glanced at the woman standing in front of him at this time, and the police officer smiled helplessly, and then raised his hand to point to the woman's unkempt hairstyle. As for the woman, after seeing the policeman's movements, she immediately understood what she meant, and then her face turned red, and she replied a little shyly: "I'm sorry, I finally took a vacation, so I overslept, you come and sit first, since Officer Wu sent you, then I will reluctantly cooperate." ”
With that, the woman opened the door and greeted the police officer, and then she slipped into the bathroom, and after a while, a brightly dressed woman walked out with a gentle step and slowly sat down in front of the policeman.
Taken aback by the woman's flying makeup, the police officer smiled bitterly and asked, "Then please tell me about the murderer's murder, what about me, so that I can make a record." ”
Hearing this, the woman smiled, and then told the handsome police officer in front of her what she had said to me and Wu Jiu before.
However, the strange thing about the woman is that every time the police officer's arm is forced, she will feel his arm tremble involuntarily. Later, there was red blood flowing down the officer's arm.
"Officer, you're bleeding from your arm." Startled by the red blood, the woman hurriedly took out the medical kit from under the coffee table, and snatched the officer's arm into her hand, wanting to check the injury on his arm.
I only felt that the moment the woman's palm touched the officer's arm, I suddenly felt a coldness. It was as if you had put your hand directly on a piece of ice, and it was biting cold.
didn't pay too much attention to it, the woman slowly lifted the sleeve of the officer's shirt, only to find that at this moment, on the officer's left arm, there were pieces of scars as if they had been burned by flames. And the arrangement of the scars, like human fingers, appeared parallel to each other.
Seeing this, the woman's face suddenly became nervous, and her body involuntarily stood up from the sofa and retreated all the way to the corner of the house. A pair of timid eyes stared at the police officer in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "You, who are you?" ”
As the words blurted out, the woman's mind slowly emerged from the whole process of killing that she had seen on the balcony before.
The translucent figure who killed Huang Ren, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but the figure and the clothes he was wearing were very similar to the police officer in front of him, right?
Thinking of this, the woman did not dare to think further, but just curled up in the corner like a frightened lamb. The palms of the hands involuntarily groped around the surrounding environment, trying to find a tool that could protect them.
The corners of the handsome policeman's mouth slowly provoked a weird sneer at this moment, and then he walked to the woman's side, and said in a cold voice: "You can see it quite clearly." ”
"I, I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything." Feeling the danger step by step, she wanted to get closer to herself, and the woman was frightened, so she had to cover her hands in front of her, hoping to alleviate the fear in her heart.
But even so, the pace of dangerous progress has not stopped.
Not long after, the police officer standing next to the woman suddenly stretched out his palm and clasped it around the woman's neck. And used a strange force to press the woman's figure against the wall and lift it into the air.
For a split second, the woman felt as if something was stuck in her throat. Not only could I blurt out the words he spoke, but even my breathing became rapid. Moreover, at this moment, the woman could still notice that her face had become swollen and painful, as if it was about to explode.
"Since you're so impressed with me, I'll give you a chance to blend in with me." As soon as the words fell, the handsome police officer's face suddenly turned into another hideous face. A pair of eyes with a faint blue glow stared at the woman in front of him, and his big and outrageous mouth made the woman lose hope for life in an instant.
With a strange sneer, the man slowly lifted his knife-sharp nails, and then cut a deep wound on the woman's neck.
Suddenly, streams of crimson blood came out of the wound like a spring. And smelling the fresh smell of blood, the expression of the strange man in front of him also became joyful.
But at the moment when he was about to suck the woman's blood, a rush of footsteps broke his plan completely. Although the footsteps outside the door were light, they did not escape his sensitive ears.
Angrily, the woman's body was still in the corner, and the man glanced viciously at the door behind him, and then turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared into the room
At this moment, Wu Jiu and I had already taken anxious steps to the door of the woman's room, and after knocking on the door of the woman's house, we asked in a loud voice: "Girl, are you at home?" Please open the door, we have urgent business for you. ”
Strangely, for a long time after our words, there was no sound in the room. The silence we didn't want to hear made us feel a little nervous.
In order to ensure the safety of the woman, we can't care about so many worries now, and the two of them work together to slam the door in front of them open.
I only saw that the moment the door was slammed open, the corpse of the woman lying quietly in a pool of blood appeared in front of the two of us, which made us look a little nervous.
"We're still a step too late." Sighing in frustration, Wu Jiuyi sat on the cold ground, and in his eyes that stared at the corpse of the woman in front of him, anger suddenly appeared.
Recall that if it weren't for the fact that we came here to find a woman to learn about the murder of the Netherworld with a momentary brain fever, maybe she wouldn't have been noticed by the Netherworld at all, and how could she be brutally killed?
In other words, the direct cause of the woman's death is because of the two of us.
Therefore, when we saw the woman's corpse, we felt a deep sense of guilt in our hearts.
Soon, Chu Tian also rushed in in a hurry, and when he saw the woman's body, he was not too surprised, but the corners of his mouth slightly provoked a strange smile. The smile was so hard that I couldn't feel comfortable looking at it.
"Senior Wu, Brother Ouyang, people can't be resurrected after death, let's call the police quickly and let the police deal with it, maybe the police can find some key evidence on her." After looking at the two of us, Chu Tian spread his hands helplessly and explained softly to us.
As soon as his words were settled, Wu Jiu, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and quickly came to the woman's body and examined it carefully.
With Wu Jiu's many years of experience as a police officer, maybe he can find something on the woman's corpse!
Sure enough, under Wu Jiu's inspection, he found that although the woman at this moment was brutally killed, the blood in her body was not sucked.
In his current state, if he wants to quickly repair the paint burns on his arm, he must suck human blood, and he is willing to give up such a ready-made one in front of him.
There is only one real explanation: when the Netherworld was about to smoke, we unfortunately arrived here, and in desperation, he had to abandon the corpse and escape.
In addition to these, Wu Jiu also found a slightly whitened hair in the palm of the woman's hand. I took it in my hand and sniffed it gently, only to find that in this seemingly ordinary hair, there was a yin qi that was not weak.
Come to think of it, this must have been dragged off the head of the nether at the moment when the woman was struggling to die.
Tightening the key clue in his hand, the gloomy cloud on Wu Jiu's face gradually eased a little. Looking out the window, I found that the weather that was still full of sunshine in the morning became dim at this moment, and I could faintly see white snowflakes falling.
With a smug smile, Wu Jiu turned his head and asked me in a low voice: "Boy, let me ask you, have you ever heard that in our profession of sacrificing Dao Heavenly Masters, there is a tracking technique, called: Treading Snow to Find Plum Blossoms?" ”
Suddenly hearing this strange word, I was really a little confused, but after thinking about it, I really wanted to see this term in "Sacrificial Dao Heavenly Punishment".
Treading the snow to find plum blossoms, a kind of tracking technique. It is used to track down some escaped monsters, yin spirits, or magic weapons and cheats whose whereabouts are unknown.
However, there are limitations when it can be used. In addition to memorizing the secret method of finding plums, the spell must only be cast when it is snowing, draw a large snow treading array in the snow, and place a trace of the thing to be found in the formation, so as to activate the snowflakes in the snow treading array to track the object.
This clue placed in the formation is sometimes a corner of a book, and sometimes it is also an object such as a demon beast, the hair of a yin spirit, or a fingernail.
Now, not only have we got a strand of hair from the Netherworld, but we also happened to have snowy weather. Therefore, as long as we use the snow to find plums, we can easily find the hiding place of the netherworld.
