Chapter 6: The Ghoul Who Snatched the Vegetable Pack
This morning's class is modern history, and I don't know if it's because of the tradition of teaching or because of the depth of knowledge, this class is rarely taught by young teachers.
And the teacher who was reading the newspaper on the podium in front of him was an old professor in his seventies, and he was also a rare old man in the entire university town.
He was holding a newspaper in one hand while drinking tea from a thermos cup, waiting for class time to arrive.
At the other end of the classroom.
An Xiao was still hungry, looking at the book with blank eyes, he wanted to preview the content of today's lecture, but he couldn't read a word for a long time.
I'm really hungry...... Let's go to the cafeteria and buy some breakfast, I don't know if the aunts have closed the stall.
After thinking about it, Shino closed the book and stood up, ready to walk down the steps.
"Little Love!" Xue Yi was stepping on the steps and walked towards her.
I have to admit that Gu Xueyi is very beautiful.
How beautiful is it? Take the situation just now,As soon as she walked into the school park,It caused students on the side of the road to take pictures and watch.。
Of course, it may also be because college life is too leisurely......
"How did you find here?" Shino also asked curiously.
"Hee-hee." Xue Yi smiled back and did not answer.
"Look at this." Xue Yi pulled out a worn-out iron lunch box from behind her.
"Thank you."
Xiao Yi, who thought it was food, took it excitedly and thanked him repeatedly.
But when I opened the lunch box, there was no food inside, and there was only a stack of colorful and thin plastic candy wrappers in the dilapidated tin box, which was close to my lips and sniffed, and the thick smell of rust seemed to be mixed with a hint of candy.
……
Xiao Yi looked up at Xue Yi and found that Xue Yi was also looking at her at this time, her eyes were full of anticipation.
"Thank you, I love it." Xiao Yi had no choice but to silently accept the iron lunch box, although he didn't understand what it meant, but he seemed to be very familiar with these candy wrappers.
At this time, the professor on the podium looked at the wall clock, put down the newspaper, got up and picked up the chalk, and wrote today's topic on the blackboard.
Ding Molan, who was late, quietly walked into the classroom through the back door and sat down in her usual seat.
“!”
She was shocked to find that there was more people in her front row than usual.
“…… That," Ding Molan said softly. "Who are you...... Why are you sitting here? ”
"My name is Gu Xueyi, I'm here to find Xiaoyi, what about you?"
“…… Ding Molan, it's ...... who came to class."
"Ding Molan? What a nice name. ”
"Thank you......" Ding Molan's gaze kept wandering low, and he never dared to look directly at Xue Yi. …… Who are you? ”
"I'm his sister." Xue Yi said without thinking.
Xiao Yi on the side had been listening silently, but when Xue Yi said that she was his 'sister', Xiao Yi was really taken aback.
Younger sister...... Is it? Why did she never mention it to me? But after thinking about it, since I met Xue Yi for the first time the day before yesterday, to today, the two have not had much conversation, and I haven't talked to her properly, Xue Yi's specific identity is still a mystery until now.
The two people on the side continued to talk, completely ignoring the teacher on the podium......
……
Finally staying up until noon, Xiao Yi rushed to the cafeteria excitedly and ordered a lot of meat dishes, as well as two bowls of hot white rice.
You can swipe the meal card, and 07 is displayed on the screen. 00 made Shinoya fall into loss again. Only then did he remember that the 100 yuan he brought today was originally intended to be used for a rice card.
As soon as I was halfway through the meal, Xiao Yi's familiar laughter came from the door of the cafeteria.
Subsequently, the two girls walked in, attracting the attention of the boys in the entire cafeteria.
Xue Yizheng excitedly told Ding Molan about all the things she encountered when she was looking for Xiao Yi, and she didn't care about the eyes around her. But Ding Molan blushed shyly, holding the book in her arms, and listened carefully to what Xue Yi said.
"Xiaolian, why are you in such a hurry? If it weren't for Mo Lan leading the way, it would have been a long time before I found this place alone. ”
"Sorry, I didn't eat breakfast." Shinoya picked up the bowl and used chopsticks to scrape all the remaining grains of rice into his mouth. "What about the two of you? Why don't you sit down and eat together? ”
"No, I'm not hungry."
“…… I'm not hungry either. ”
"And what are you here for?" Xiao also asked a little depressedly.
"I'm just here to see you eat." Xue Yi sat down directly across from Xiao Yi and looked at Xiao Yi with a smile.
“…… Me too. ”
……
No one noticed that under the book in Ding Molan's right hand, there was a left hand that was clenched tightly, and the green tendons were bursting up.
……
Before I knew it, it was night again, and Xue Yi had been chatting with Ding Molan all day, Xue Yi had been talking, and Ding Molan had been responding. This continued until the end of the evening.
After having a simple dinner together, Xiao Yi went to work in a restaurant, thinking that he had finally found an opportunity to talk to each other quietly, but he unexpectedly received a call from the restaurant owner.
"The store is renovated, closed for three days, and the wages are paid." The boss's tone seemed a little excited, is this a fortune? You're making it hard for me.
Along the way, Xue Yi didn't say a word, just looked at herself from time to time, showing a happy smile.
She's going to come home with me......
The two of them continued to walk until they came to a dim and silent area, the street was usually rarely frequented, only scattered vehicles parked on the side of the road, which seemed not so deserted.
At this time, the sound of high heels hitting the ground gradually came from Xiaoyi's ears.
"Click! Click! Click! ……”
At the intersection ahead, a long-haired woman with her head in a posture approached.
This woman is not tall and her legs are a little thick, so she wears a pair of high-heeled shoes that seem to be very ill-fitting to correct her leg shape, and the career line on her chest is deliberately squeezed very long, as if it is to seduce others, but it is really fake, which makes people feel very disobedient when they look at it. The woman wore white headphones, as if listening to music, and held a bag of hot buns, one of which was half bitten.
After seeing Xiao Yi and Xue Yi on the road, she was stunned at first, and then smiled and nodded, as if she was deliberately saying hello to hide her embarrassment.
The long-haired girl passed by Shinoya like this and walked behind her.
Wrong!
What's going on with this strong sense of disobedience?! Shinoya looked back at the girl who hadn't gone far.
After careful observation again, I found that her legs were not thick! It's strong, it's the result of long-term exercise, and although she wears high heels, her upright walking posture must not have changed. And the bag of buns, which proved that she was hungry. But she had only eaten half of it, and then hurried away, on the contrary, her pace just now was not at all anxious, as if she had deliberately walked very slowly. Finally, there are the white earphones, although they are carried like ordinary earphones, but the cable of the earphones is not connected to the waist pocket, but extends backwards, directly buried in the clothes behind the back.
She's a cop! It is very likely that it is an armed policeman, and when I think of the broken corpse I saw last night, Xiao also understood it all at once.
Damn it! How can the police use this method?! The killer is very likely to be in possession of a knife, and it is too dangerous to do so.
Shinoya hurriedly turned around and ran towards the 'girl'.
Almost at the same moment, a dark shadow emerged from the green belt by the side of the road and pounced on the girl.
The three fell together.
"Hurry up!" An angry roar came from the vehicles in the distance, and dozens of SWAT officers lurking throughout the street, after receiving a loud and piercing command in the headset, instantly poured out of the darkness and rushed towards the three people lying on the ground.
……
In the police station,
"*Fuck you! We worked hard all night and ruined these two boys! This is a special sentence! Sentence! Team Liu yelled and screamed in the office.
"Lao Liu, you dissipate your anger first, and I will take care of the rest of the things." The middle-aged man with eyes on the side hurriedly dissuaded him.
"What kind of gas? There's definitely something wrong with that! Maybe they're accomplices! Team Liu became more and more angry and shouted loudly.
"You also understand the law, and the behavior of these two children is at most a crime of obstructing the execution of official duties. And they stopped in time, and for now, it will be closed for half a day at most. ”
"Humph! I don't believe it! I'm going to go over and judge it myself! Team Liu angrily slammed the door and left.
In the detention room of the police station, Shinoyi sat in the center with handcuffs, and Xueyi stood to the left of Shinoyi.
She didn't have to be caught.
At that time, although Xue Yi desperately requested, the police still did not agree, and finally she slapped the police hard......
Sitting on the right side of Xiao Yi is a teenager, the boy who stole the boss's bun in the morning and was saved by Xiao Yi. At this time, he was very frightened, stepped on the chair with his legs together, his hands tightly wrapped around his knees, bowed his head and curled up into a ball, constantly sobbing softly and admitting his mistakes.
A young policeman with a swollen left face opened the door to the cell and walked into the cell with a vicious old policeman.
"You're not good, the regular process is not ......" The young policeman whispered to dissuade Team Liu, but was glared at by him fiercely.
This person is Team Liu, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Liu Jianguo.
"If you're afraid of violating the rules, go out and stay! I'll judge it alone! Team Liu angrily reprimanded the young policeman. He didn't dare to squeak anymore, because it was very unsafe to let Team Liu interrogate the prisoner alone.
"What's your name!"
"An Xiaoyi."
"What about you!"
"Gu Xueyi."
"Why didn't I ask you!" The paper cup filled with water was slammed on the table by Team Liu, and then turned to stare at the boy.
“……”
"What do you say? Be louder! ”
“…… I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
"I'm asking for your name!" There was another roar, and the boy was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
“…… Gremlin. ”
"Imp? What bird names? ”
“…… I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
"Where are you from?"
"Yunmeng local, I was adopted from an orphanage by my adoptive parents." Shino also said truthfully.
"What about you?"
"China!"
"Why didn't I ask you!" Team Liu is not angry, is this girl lacking heart or what's wrong? "You! Stand by for me! ”
Xue Yi didn't obey, but glanced at the young police officer with her eyes, and the other party was frightened.
"Team Liu, forget it, just sit there." The palm print on the officer's face is still hot and painful.
"Look at your cowardice," Team Liu looked at him with disdain and continued to scold. "Now I'm here! She still dares to attack the police?! ”
"Say it! Where are you from? Where did it come from? Team Liu asked the boy again.
"I don't know...... I don't really know ......."
......: "Was this kid stupid by that situation?" Thinking about it now, at that time, a group of SWAT officers instantly pounced on them and pressed themselves to the ground, which was indeed a little too terrifying in the mind of an underage child.
It's okay now, a female baby who lacks heart, and a male baby who is scared stupid. The only one who can interrogate well is the young man in the middle.
"How old are you?"
"Twenty."
"Where do you live?"
"Three buildings and six floors in the old city."
"Why pounce on that woman."
"Because I want to stop her from continuing to lure the murderer of the corpse mutilation."
"Oh? You kid can see this? Right! She's there to seduce the criminals! But you stopped her! Team Liu's tone became more and more angry, "It's all because of you!" Our operation tonight has failed, and it is very likely that we have alarmed the murderer! In the future, it will be more difficult for us to grasp it! Do you know what that means! Until the end, Team Liu's voice almost turned into an angry roar, approaching Xiao Yi.
"I know." Shinoi lowered his head in shame. “…… That means there could be more dead before the killer is caught. ”
"But this approach is too dangerous. It is likely that the female police officer will be killed. Xiao also looked up at Team Liu. Don't you worry about the lives of the police officers? ”
"Smack!" Shino also received a resounding slap in the face.
Xiao Yi was right, but this also hit the sore spot in Team Liu's heart, and the grief and anger were slapped by Team Liu and vented on Xiao Yi's face.
Xue Yi on the side suddenly clenched her fists, exuding a thick murderous aura.
"I'm sorry, I'm ......" Shinoya softly admitted. He just suddenly discovered the hidden story behind Team Liu.
"You don't have to apologize!" Team Liu's anger gradually subsided, and he didn't speak again.
The cell was silent, except for the teenager who was still sobbing.
……
“…… Rourou is the daughter of the old director. After a long time, Team Liu suddenly spoke.
"When she was very young, she was often brought here by the director. Lao Lin was busy with office work every day, so Rourou had to come to play with us. Because Yunmeng City was still very small at that time, there were few cases, and the Criminal Investigation Department was the most idle. ”
"Team Liu......" the young officer reminded in a low voice.
"It's okay, it's okay. This is not a formal interrogation, and it doesn't hurt to tell them. Team Liu waved his hand, signaling not to worry.
Later, when she grew up, she would still come to the bureau from time to time to play, chat with everyone, bring supper to colleagues who worked overtime, and teach her to read and write with her granddaughter who helped me take care of her. I watched from the side, smiled and asked her if she wanted to give my granddaughter to you as a daughter, and she excitedly agreed, saying that she would be the child's godmother. ”
Team Liu picked up the crumpled paper cup and drank the little water left in it.
"Just last night, Rourou called and said that there were fragrant buns to bring to us. But everyone waited for her for a long time, but she didn't come. We thought, did Rourou have something to do and go home first? ”
"Later, we received a call to the police, and someone said that they had found a broken body and asked us to hurry over."
"The moment we first arrived at the scene, we didn't pay much attention until the moment we found the head......"
Speaking of this, Team Liu paused, lowered his head and reached out to pinch the bridge of his nose hard. When he looked up again, his eyes were already red.
"The head is soft...... She didn't bring us the buns she said were good. There is only one case left, which makes the whole police station desperate for it. At that time, I hurriedly put Rourou's head in an evidence bag so as not to be photographed by the reporters who rushed to it. ”
"Actually, no one in the bureau knows."
“?”
"Rourou's father, the Forest Bureau, has been hospitalized for two years. The last time I went to visit, the doctor said that he would not live for a few months, that Rourou was his only daughter, and that I did not want the details of this case to be passed on to the hospital by reporters. I deceived Lao Lin and said that his daughter was on a business trip abroad and would take more than ten days to come back. But Lao Lin is also a smart person, so he can't hide it for long. I only hope that when he gets the news, it's time to close the case. ”
"The forensic examination said that the muscles of the body were contracted, the muscles outside the heart were torn, and she died in extremely painful conditions."
Although the young police officer behind him stood upright, he had already burst into tears, and it was his soldier-like self-control that prevented him from beating the wall and crying.
"The forensic doctor also extracted the murderer's residual **** in the broken uterus, but it was impossible to distinguish whether the victim was sexually assaulted, whether it was before death or ......"
Team Liu suddenly raised his hand and clenched his fist and slammed it the table.
"It's not a fucking human thing! I've been a criminal police officer for more than 30 years, and I've seen all kinds of crazy people and perverts, but this time, it's definitely not human! It's a brute! It's a ghost that isn't even as good as a brute! I don't care what bullshit criminal protects the law, I'm going to catch it with my own hands! Cut it with a thousand cuts! The clenched fists burst out, and the old man's face turned red, revealing a fierce expression. is like a hell rakshasa that makes the young police officer behind him fearful.
After a long time, Team Liu finally calmed down.
"That's why I disobeyed the orders of my superiors and privately used female police officers to disguise themselves as bait to attract the murderer. Therefore, I also quietly transferred a large number of special police officers from the city to assist in this operation. The more than ten female police officers who played the bait were all from our bureau, and they also hated the murderer, so they volunteered to participate in this operation. I also picked the best of them, put on stab-proof vests, and under the constant observation of dozens of our special police officers, I let them use them as bait and walk alone on the street where the crime occurred......"
"I didn't expect to attract you in the way." Team Liu glanced at Xiao Yi fiercely.
"......" Xiaoyi and Xue Yi both fell silent.
"I've told you everything, I hope you don't spread it out to the outside world, if I let the superiors in the city know, I may be suspended and punished, and then I won't be able to personally go to the police to avenge Rourou. I admit that I am anxious about this case, and such a dangerous method will not be used in the future. This is the first time that Team Liu has lowered his voice and begged Xiao Yi not to report it.
Team Liu knew very well in his heart that if he hadn't caught the criminal with his own hands, he would not forgive himself for the rest of his life.
"You've told me all the secrets, how can I bear to say it again?" Shino also hurriedly agreed.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that obstruction of official business is not a felony, I would have thrown you into the detention center a long time ago, and when the case was solved, I would have released you! No matter what you sue me in the future, I won't be afraid! Team Liu said angrily.
"What about this kid?" Team Liu suddenly remembered that An Xiaoyi's purpose was to stop the policewoman, so why did this teenager pounce on the bait?
"Why did you make it up then?" Team Liu looked at the boy.
“…… I want to snatch the bun from her hand."
"Is this the first time you've done anything like this?"
“…… It's the second time."
"Huh?! Have you ever snatched someone else's bun? Team Liu frowned.
“…… Hmmm"
"Where did you rob it?"
“…… ...... in a small area"
"How did you rob it?"
“…… There's a broken street light...... I take her and don't pay attention...... Just ......"
"What a thief!" Team Liu raised his hand to fight, but was hurriedly stopped by the young police officer on the side. The frightened teenager hurriedly hugged his head and admitted his mistake, and the sound of sobbing and apology rang out again.
"Team Liu, this is not good, he is still a minor." The officer's expression looked a little embarrassed.
"I'm scaring him, what's wrong with the minor? Minors should be disciplined well, what about your family? ”
“…… I don't have a family. ”
"Is it a wandering orphan? Xiao Yang! Later, you take him to the orphanage. Team Liu gave an order to the police officer behind him.
"Please wait a minute," Xue Yi, who had been watching from the side, suddenly spoke. "I know where the orphanage is, can I take him there?"
"......" Team Liu stared at Xue Yi for a long time, but Xue Yi looked calm.
"Forget it, you three go back together." Team Liu waved his hand and signaled to get out.
The young officer opened the door and left the cell with Shinoyi.
……
For a long time, Team Liu in the detention room had not left, he sat quietly at the interrogation table alone, took out his wallet from his arms and opened it to see, and the wallet contained a photo of his family.
Flipping through the floor, it's another photo.
In the photo is a girl in her twenties, holding a girl a few years old, facing the camera, smiling happily.
Team Liu stretched out his hand and stroked the transparent film outside the photo, and wanted to say something, but he wanted to stop talking. Just continued to watch blankly, tears slowly gathered in the pearl yellow eyes, dripping into the wallet.
……
At the door of the police station, Xue Yi and Xiao Yi said goodbye, and then gradually disappeared into the dark night with the boy.
Xiao Yi, who had been tossed for a day, fell asleep quickly after returning home.
……
It's late at night,
On the road in the remote suburbs of Yunmeng City, a young girl was walking briskly, followed by a dirty homeless teenager.
“…… Sister...... Where are we going......" the young man asked in a loud voice.
"Go home." Xue Yi quickly replied.
“…… Go home? …… Didn't you go to an orphanage? ”
"......" Xue Yi suddenly fell silent, and she stopped.
For a long time, she asked without looking back.
"You're a ghoul, aren't you?"
“……!” The boy's eyes widened, and he was very surprised.
At the same time, a trace of murderous intent gradually floated in his heart.
