Chapter 35: The Murderer

"I've told the police out there several times before, and I'll say it again if you want to hear it." Wang Ming set his eyes on the young man in black uniform in front of him and began to narrate.

"On the night of my brother's accident, he asked me to go for a drink with him, but then I couldn't see anyone and my mobile phone was turned off, so I went to his factory to look for him. When I got there, I heard from his co-worker that my brother had gone for a walk by the creek near the factory, so I went to look for it, and it turned out to be ...... As a result, I saw from afar that the boy pushed my brother into the river! Wang Ming's eyes were bloodshot, and his body was trembling with excitement.

"My brother doesn't know how to swim! By the time I rushed over, he had been swept away by the river and there was no one left...... I can't swim either, or I'll go down and save him!" That bastard hurriedly ran away when he saw me chasing after me, and I saw that someone around had called the police and called an ambulance, so I went to chase the murderer, but unfortunately the man fled too fast and lost the chase......" Wang Ming looked annoyed.

"Then how did you find the murderer's whereabouts again?" Lou Yue asked.

"Hehe, it's also providential." Wang Ming sneered. "That night, I got the news that there was a rich woman shopping group on the side of the pedestrian street, so I went to squat, intending to touch two wallets, but I didn't expect to find that bastard! That's when I had an idea. ”

"So you're taking the risk of staging a 'robbery' scene, planning to lure that man into the alley alone, and then kill him with your hands?" Lan Jue raised an eyebrow. "How can you be sure that he will come after you?"

"Even if you don't chase me, you'll take advantage of the chaos to give him a knife." Wang Ming showed a cold expression, "Originally, I was almost successful, if it weren't for you......" As he spoke, Wang Ming stared straight at Lan Jue, his face full of resentment.

"You said you saw your brother being pushed into the river from afar, can you see the murderer's face at such a distance?" Lou Yue questioned. "And even if you see the other person's face clearly, just one side, can you be sure that the person you saw at the scene of the accident is the one you met on the road later?"

"Can't be wrong!" Wang Ming insisted, "You may not believe it when you say it, although I only glanced at it, but I know it's him!" The appearance of that person is imprinted in my mind, and I will never forget it for a moment!

Lou Yue frowned slightly, and exchanged glances with Lan Jue.

"Didn't anyone else at the scene of your brother's accident see him commit murder?"

"There should be someone, but the police said that the eyewitnesses pointed out that my brother committed suicide, which is complete nonsense! They're definitely in this group! Wang Ming clenched his fists and roared hatefully.

"Since you said that you remember the situation very well, can you recall the detailed route you took from the river to your dwelling? Which path to take? What's in the area? Lan Jue threw out the question.

"This ...... I don't remember. Wang Ming seemed to be relieved for a moment, and a confused look appeared on his face.

"Do you remember what the co-worker who said your brother went to the river looked like?"

"Uh...... This one...... I forgot about it too. Wang Ming was a little stumbling.

"You don't even remember the person you spoke to face to face, so why do you remember what the person who only glanced at you from so far away?"

"I just remember!" Wang Ming became excited again. "Well, you guys are just like the cops out there, they don't believe me!"

Wang Ming gritted his teeth and glared at the two people in front of him, the green tendons on his neck burst out, if he wasn't handcuffed to the seat, he was afraid that he would have pounced.

With a "snap", several printed photos were thrown in front of Wang Ming. The moment Wang Ming saw the photo, he suddenly fell silent, and his face showed confusion.

"This ...... This is......? ”

"This is the surveillance footage near your residence on the night of your brother's accident." Lan Jue said coldly. "That night, you ate and drank at an open-air food stall all night, and when you got drunk, you went straight to the side of the road, all of which was filmed by the road surveillance. How could you, who are already drunk and unconscious, go to your brother and see the scene of the murder? “

"Impossible!" Wang Ming looked at the photo with an incredible look on his face. "It can't be!! I remember very well that my brother was pushed into the river! You must be lying to me, the surveillance is fake! ”

"Hehe, even if you don't believe the photos, the owners of the food stalls and the diners at the time can testify; In addition, when your brother had an accident, the factory had already closed for work, and the doorman said that he had not seen you, so how did you know that your brother had gone to the river? ”

"This ...... This...... What the hell was I?? Hiss...... My head hurts! A look of confusion and confusion intertwined on Wang Ming's face, but then evolved into anger.

"Fake! All this evidence is fake! Wang Ming hugged his head and roared. You're in the same league as the murderer! A bunch! ”

"I don't think I can ask anything." Lan Jue shook his head lightly and reached out to press the bell under the table. Several sturdy police officers instantly rushed into the interrogation room and detained Wang Ming, who was already out of control.

"The other 'victim' should be this person." After walking out of the interrogation room, Lan Jue made a preliminary conclusion.

"Memories before and after the event are not connected smoothly, and they only have a deep impression of specific things that are beyond the norm, and there are headaches when recalling certain memories...... This is indeed a trace of a modified memory. Lou Yue nodded. It seems that your previous inference was correct, and that they are really starting to do this kind of thing again, and this person is an impulsive personality who is very easily misled, and is an excellent target for exploitation. ”

"In this way, the logic of Jin Biao's video can also be passed, and the matter of throwing the corpse should be a modified fake memory, and Wu Xuebing is really alive." Lan Yu analyzed.

"If Wu Xuebing is really the one who 'devoured' and planned this series of cases, then this Blood Key Ring should still be in his hand now." Lou Yue looked at Lan Jue.

"That's right, and judging from the source of the Blood Keystone ring we investigated earlier, the fact that Chen Yan got the ring itself may have been deliberately arranged by Wu Xuebing, and the reason why he did this must be directly related to the purpose of 'devouring' coming back again."

"Hmph, it seems that the lessons they got before are not enough......" Lou Yue sneered.

"I don't think it's that simple." Lan Jue pondered. "Those 'devouring' people aren't stupid enough to do something like repeating the mistakes of the past, I'm afraid their plans are much more than that."

"No matter what plan they have, I'm going to smash it one by one." Lou Yue's expression was resolute. "Since they have changed Wang Ming's memory, they will inevitably have direct contact with him, as long as they check the people Wang Ming has been in contact with in recent times, maybe there will be clues."

"Hmm...... I'm afraid this is a needle in a haystack, after all, Wang Ming's social relations are very complicated......"

"If you really can't find it...... Then let me do it. Lou Yue added lightly.

"You...... Are you going to ......?! Lan Jue heard Lou Yue's extraneous voice, and couldn't help but widen her eyes. No way! Don't use that ability casually! Have you forgotten that you were warned not long ago? ”

"I finally caught the tail of 'Devouring', and I don't plan to let it go." Lou Yue's eyes flashed with fierceness in an instant, and he said coldly.

"Even then, you can't do that! Your body is ...... at all."

"That's enough." Lou Yue interrupted Lan Yue's persuasion. "I have my own measure, you don't have to care so much." After saying that, he planned to leave on his own.

"Wait."

Lan Jue looked at Lou Yue's stubborn appearance, pondered for a moment, and stopped the other party loudly.

"I have an idea that maybe I can find 'devouring' them."

Lou Yue stopped and turned around.

"A simple and straightforward way, do you want to hear it?"

--------------------

"Why can't you really care about me!?"

The woman in the passenger seat cried hysterically, her red and swollen eyes misty with tears.

"Why don't I care about you anymore!? Didn't I give you all the money I made outside! As a result, you actually gave all this money to those cults!'

The man replied anxiously as he drove the car.

"You don't understand! You don't understand at all!' The woman sobbed and roared. "You're always socializing and busy! Sometimes you don't come back for days, where were you when I was sad!"

"So you went to that kind of organization on purpose!?"

"That's right!" The woman's face was full of grief. "At least they'll listen to me!" It's not like you......

"Enough!" An impatient look appeared on the man's face, "You've been saying these words countless times! If you can't get by, you can divide it!'

The man impulsively said harsh words, but he didn't expect to provoke a more violent reaction from the woman.

"Are you really going to get a divorce?" The woman broke down emotionally and screamed. "You say! Are you out there! Isn't it!!'

"You're insane!"

The woman's distorted voice with excitement strongly stimulated the man's nerves, and the distracted man was completely unaware that he had driven the car into the opposite lane, and when he came back to his senses, he saw a truck that could not dodge and crashed into him......

"Ahh

The man snapped his eyes open and straightened up from his chair.

"Huh...... Is this dream again? The man took off his gold-rimmed glasses, reached out and pinched his eyebrows, and gradually calmed down from his palpitations.

"It's been seven years...... the man habitually touched the pendant around his neck, gently opened the mezzanine, and on the yellowed photo, a beautiful and dignified woman was smiling softly at him.

"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry......" The man's fingers carefully stroked the photo, and there was a wave of guilt in his tone. But don't worry, it won't be long before I will give you a 'rebirth', trust me......"

The man's face quickly regained a cold but determined look, he reached out and opened the drawer, took out a bottle of very delicate perfume from it, and gently sprayed some on his body.

The man wears the perfume every day, not only because it is the favorite model of his loved one, but also because it has become a ritual, a remembrance and tribute to the happy past of the two of them, which is long gone.

The man got up and walked to the mirror, straightened his uniform, meticulously combed a few strands of hair that had been scattered during the nap, then turned to open the middle of the drawer and carefully hid a miniature pistol in the cuff.

After making preparations, the man sneered and glanced at the news page on the desktop monitor.

I saw a photo of a thin black man displayed on the webpage, with the title prominently written: "The case of slashing people in the downtown will be tried tomorrow, and the public will be open to observance."

"Hehe, bait." The man's face was full of mockery. "I'll make you regret it."

With that, the man turned off the monitor and turned to disappear into the darkness.
