Chapter 37: Giving Up
After everyone investigated around, they finally found some clues about the Doomsday Killer.
At the briefing at the police station, Ryan pulled out a folder and said, "We surveyed all the scholars and religious people who studied the book of Revelation. Professor Geller is very suspicious, he disappeared after being expelled from the school three years ago, and Professor Geller was expelled because he put up a doomsday scenario of a lamb woman at the school, which caused a very bad effect. And we checked his Weibo, which was full of remarks about doomsday prophecies, and the last update on Weibo was when the first murder occurred. ”
After Ryan finished speaking, Chen Zhong introduced clues about the corpse, "There are two techniques on the wound on the corpse, one is very skillful, he is very meticulous and careful when sewing the bodies of the victims of the Seven Snakes case and the four knights. The other is a very crude technique, such as the incision where the four horsemen were dismembered, so I think there are more than two people committing the crime, probably a veteran with a novice. None of the corpses or props were found to contain any fingerprints, DNA, sweat, or saliva. ”
However, Chen Zhong concealed some clues and did not tell Beckett that he had discovered that the material of the angel wings contained a glue that was often used to restore ancient scrolls, and that the deceased Irene worked at the art center, where there was a museum containing ancient scrolls, and it was likely that Geller or his accomplices were hiding here.
Peter, who came here because of the theft of antiquities, also said: "We have learned from the private collector who stole two items and went to Professor Geller, an expert on the Book of Revelation, for identification, and we suspect that it was Professor Geller who stole them. ”
After listening to everyone's speeches, Beckett said: "Immediately send a picture of Professor Geller to all police officers, including patrol officers and traffic police, and inform the train station and the airport to pay attention to his whereabouts. ”
In the dilapidated church, Professor Geller and Travis were on their knees praying.
Geller said to Travis, "We're running out of time, God said to me, let's move on to the next action." We're going to find a candidate for the Babylonian Swinger in this filthy city, and I'll leave it to you this time, and I'll be watching you. ”
Travis and Geller drove to a bar, parked in the dark, and began to observe the woman haunting the bar, and soon Travis locked on a scantily clad woman.
Travis got out of the car and quietly approached the woman who seemed to be open-minded, and suddenly hugged her, but she was met with crazy resistance from the woman, someone at the door of the bar noticed the movement here, and several bar security guards ran over, Travis was so frightened that he left the woman and fled in a hurry.
Travis, who ran into the car, gasped for breath and said to Professor Geller with a guilty face, "I'm sorry, I failed, but I tried my best." ”
Professor Geller gently comforted him: "It doesn't matter, many great people have gone through the test of failure, and God will mercifully protect them." It's my fault, I shouldn't have let you do it alone, we should do it together. Let's go, let's look for a target in another place. ”
Professor Geller drove to another lively bar and waited.
Time passed slowly, a man and a woman walked out of the bar, hugged and made love as they walked, and soon the two walked to a remote alley ready to start a real fight.
Professor Geller drove into the alley and crashed directly into the two, knocking the men and women who were patronizing the intimacy to the ground together.
"Travis, go down and put that woman in the trunk, we can go back and prepare Babylon. Prostitute. The scene of the woman. ”
……
Chen Zhong used the police department's system to find out that one of the employees working at the art center was named Travis. Marshall's young man had taken classes at New York University, and his teacher was James Murphy. Geller.
The only advantage of unofficial errands is freedom, no need for a search warrant and no need to obey anyone's orders, Chen Zhong secretly came to Travis's apartment to search, his apartment was very clean, all the belongings were neatly arranged, not at all like a single man's room. Travis's bookshelf has many editions of the Book of Revelation, and on his desk there is a notebook written by Professor Geller, with many drawings on it, such as the descent of the Seven Serpents, the Knights of the Apocalypse, the Angel of Death, and the Plague of Locusts.
Seeing the words and pictures in the notebook, Chen Zhong was already sure that Travis was Professor Geller's accomplice, and if he found him, he could add a little points to himself.
Travis, who had eaten dinner, returned home, and when he walked into the room and just wanted to turn on the light, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck and slowly lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, Travis found himself strapped to a chair, and someone could be seen sitting on the couch opposite him in the dark.
Chen Chong, who was in the dark, said: "When you wake up, don't scream, otherwise I will kill you immediately." ”
Travis nodded in horror, and Chen Zhong walked over and pulled out the towel he had stuffed in his mouth.
"What do you want? I have money in my drawer, credit cards in my wallet, I can tell you the password, all for you. ”
"No, Travis, I don't want those things, I want to take your life just as you take someone else's life, are you right? Doom Killer. ”
"Oh God! Leave me alone. ”
Chen Zhong teased: "By the way, you believe in God, did God tell you to kill these innocent people?" ”
Travis explained, "God didn't tell me that God was talking to the professor, and he was communicating the will through Professor Geller. Before I met the professor, I was completely lost, but the professor, he revealed the truth to me, he showed me the way, he was a prophet of truth and light. ”
Chen Zhong said in disgust: "I hate you murderers who are full of truth and will, one by one, as if they have been brainwashed. ”
"I didn't kill anyone, although the professor told me to do it, but I didn't do it, I failed, you know the pain of letting God down? Yes, I wanted to kill them, but I failed, I'm a piece of waste. ”
Chen Zhong said in surprise: "You haven't killed anyone?" You mean it's Geller who does it? ”
"The professor is stronger than me, he has no fear or remorse, but I am so pathetic."
After hearing Travis's words, Chen Zhong observed the young man, and he seemed to be telling the truth. If he didn't kill someone, he couldn't kill him himself, and he didn't meet his own rules of punishment.
"Travis, I tell you, Geller does not represent God, he is a member of the darkness, and you should turn your heart to the light and stay away from that professor. Let me ask you one more question, did Geller have an ancient iron sword and an old Bible in his hand? ”
Travis said, "Yes, the professor said that a devout believer contributed to him a magic artifact to start the end of the world with these two things. ”
"Travis, lucky for you, you don't have innocent blood on your hands, I'll let you go once, I hope we don't meet again. Now you sit honestly and don't move. ”
Chen Zhong came behind him and cut the rope that bound him, and quietly disappeared into the darkness.
