Chapter 22: Midnight Bells
"Hah...... Ah......h
Leaning back in his chair, Xiao Zhang let out a long yawn. Looking up at the electronic clock on the wall, the black electronic display reads 23:54. The red numbers are particularly dazzling in this silent night, especially the two red dots in the middle keep beating, like two fresh hearts beating, and their own hearts seem to beat together. Xiao Zhang turned his head and didn't dare to look again, and there was already a slight snoring from his colleague around him.
Xiao Zhang is an ordinary police officer who has just graduated, so he was assigned to be on duty at the reporting center tonight, and the one who was already sleeping next to him was his companion tonight. The two said okay, one is worth the first half of the night and the other is the second half of the night. Seeing that the first half of the night was about to end, Xiao Zhang was also thinking about whether to wake up his companions. After taking a sip of the tea that had already been cold, Xiao Zhang's spirit recovered a little. I didn't feel very sleepy, so I simply held on for a while.
Tonight's Shangdu was extraordinarily calm, and there wasn't even a call to the police, which made Xiao Zhang suddenly feel that Shangdu, which is known as the city that never sleeps, was so peaceful and beautiful.
Sometimes, sleepy bugs will crawl into your brain before you know it, making you fall asleep before you know it. Xiao Zhang propped his chin on the table with his hand, his eyes were completely narrowed, and his head was nod. Xiao Zhang, who obviously planned to hold on for a little longer, did not block the attack of the sleepy insects and began to doze off at a discount.
Doodoo ......
The sudden alarm sounded like a basin of cold water poured directly on Xiao Zhang's head, and he shook his head and then the whole person woke up instantly. The giant electronic map on the big screen is frantically searching, the red warning lights are flashing desperately, and the piercing sirens are also hysterical shouts.
Xiao Zhang quickly picked up the headset and pressed the switch, preparing to routinely explain that this is the report center, and before he could say what help he needed later, the voice of the informant came from the other end of the phone: "Kill...... Kill...... Kill! ”
The tremor of the voice at the beginning to the rapidity of the back can be heard in the shock and fear of the informant. Life is at stake, Xiao Zhang did not delay in asking the informant what his current position was, and then told him to find a safe place to hide for the time being. But the response on the other end of the phone was only the reporter's frightened shout: "Help me, hurry up and save me!" ”
Xiao Zhang once again eagerly asked where the informant was, and his eyes were fixed on the huge electronic map, hoping that the source of the phone call had been found on it. But after Xiao Zhang asked a few times, he heard the phone bang as if it had fallen somewhere, and then there was the sound of footsteps from the phone. Heavy footsteps approached from a distance, and the sound of clothes grinding on the ground was the same.
"Don't come, don't come!" The informant's fearful cries came clearly from the phone, as if he were facing the devil.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Xiao Zhang shouted and shouted, but no one responded on the other side of the phone, only the frightened shouts and heavy footsteps of the reporter.
"Ah~~~!" A terrible scream came from the phone, and then it came to an abrupt end. Then the phone that could still be heard seemed to have been hung up, and Xiao Zhang could only hear a busy sound from the headset. Dejectedly, he took off the headset, and his life ended like this, Xiao Zhang suddenly felt so guilty that he couldn't save that life.
Patted on the shoulder, Xiao Zhang looked back, and saw that his companion didn't know when he had woken up, and his face was ugly, obviously he had heard what was happening on the other end of the phone just now.
"You hurry up and report the case, I'll go to the technical center to check the source of the call" The companion is several years older than Xiao Zhang, and he has been in the report center for a long time, so he still calmly commanded at the moment.
Xiao Zhang hurriedly packed up his mood and contacted the criminal police team, this is a vicious homicide case, it must be reported in time, and the sooner the better, otherwise the clues may be destroyed by the murderer with enough time.
After receiving the report, the criminal police team immediately notified the action, and the criminal police on duty even opened up the conversation between the captain of their criminal police team.
"Head, the report center just received a call from the police for a homicide, and the upper authorities informed us to leave immediately!"
"Okay, you'll pick me up downstairs in ten minutes."
Ten minutes later, an off-road vehicle rushed to the entrance of a community at high speed, and suddenly braked sharply and then flicked its tail less than ten meters away from the community, and then the off-road vehicle stopped steadily at the entrance of the community. There was already a stout man wearing a jacket at the entrance of the community, and when he saw the car stopped in front of him, he threw the half-smoked cigarette butt in his hand on the ground. Pulled the car door and jumped into the passenger seat, and said lightly, "Go!" ”
The shrill siren suddenly sounded, and the off-road vehicle galloped away like a wild horse with a loud roar. The residents of the community were awakened by the sudden sound of sirens, and suddenly the originally dark building began to light up one window after another. Some residents even opened their windows and stuck their heads out to look, only to see that nothing was going on and then shrank back. After a few minutes, the lit windows began to go out one by one, and then the neighborhood returned to its original tranquility. But for some people, this night is destined to be unpeaceful, just like Xiao Zhang in the report center, just like the criminal policemen who are rushing to the scene of the murder at this moment.
"Head, here's a recording of the call to report the crime!"
After listening to the entire recording, the man in the jacket was silent for a long time and then asked, "Have you found the address?" ”
"I found it, in Feng County, but the specific address is estimated to be known only there!"
"Feng County?" The man in the jacket also sighed lightly when he heard this area.
Feng County is a remote area under Shangdu, and it is also the only area in Shangdu that still has wilderness and hills. The remote location will naturally make the land price cheaper, and many factories will choose to build here. Therefore, most of the people living in Feng County are migrant workers. There is not enough attention and attention so that the security here is not very good, and fights are not uncommon, but it is the first time that someone has died, so the case is directly handed over to the criminal police brigade in the city to deal with. When the man in the jacket heard that the crime scene was in Feng County, he naturally classified the murder as a vendetta.
After the three criminal police teams converged, they headed towards Feng County under the leadership of the off-road vehicle. Feng County is 30 kilometers away from the city, but there are not many cars late at night, and the sirens are blaring, and the three cars are moving at high speed. Half an hour later, the car of the criminal police team came to the boundary of Feng County, and the captain of the criminal police team of the Feng County Branch had been waiting for a long time.
Although the captain of the criminal police team in Feng County is older than the jacket man, he still respectfully took the initiative to greet him: "Captain Zhao, you have worked hard all the way!" ”
"Whereever, that's what we should do. Team Song, I think we'd better go straight to the scene of the crime! The man in the jacket obviously didn't want to waste more time here, and Team Song naturally readily agreed.
When everyone got into the car again and rushed towards the crime, the driver of the off-road vehicle had been replaced by the Song team, who was more familiar with the road, and the original three cars had become four. In the car, Team Song also introduced the general situation of Feng County to the jacket man Zhao team.
Feng County is not as brightly lit as the upper metropolitan area, and the street lights here are far away and very dim, so you can only see the range of car lights.
Under the control of Team Song, the car quickly and smoothly approached the scene of the crime, and Team Zhao and his subordinates began to prepare for the upcoming work. Team Zhao even took out the police pistol under his armpit and kept twitching the bolt.
"Hehe, Team Zhao, there's no need for such a big battle!" Team Song glanced at Team Zhao, looked at the pistol in his hand and said with a smile.
Team Zhao didn't speak, just looked up at him, and then inserted the pistol back into the holster under his armpit. Team Song touched a nail, smiled bitterly, and then continued to drive. Suddenly, a person broke into the middle of the road, which made the Song team who was driving suddenly break out in a cold sweat, but he was worthy of being an old driver, and he hurriedly braked sharply, and then avoided the man and parked the car on the side of the road.
The others in the car are not so good, the two criminal policemen in the back have already fallen, as for the Zhao team, it is not much better, and his face is also as black as iron at this moment.
Team Song stopped the car, didn't care about the people in the car, and hurriedly got out of the car to check, but there was no figure on the road at all.
"What a hell of a life!" Team Song muttered frustratedly, and then returned to the car, while apologizing to Team Zhao and the others. Team Zhao whispered "It's okay", and then the car was on the road again. In fact, what Team Song said was dazzling, and Team Zhao was also suspicious in his heart, because he seemed to have seen that figure just now, but Team Song had already checked that there was no one at all, so maybe it was really a flower.
After encountering this episode, the four cars had no other accidents, and soon the cars drove to the dormitory area of a factory.
This factory was built in the outer area of Feng County, and the dormitory area was built in the outermost area, and beyond the dormitory area was a wilderness. Before the criminal police team arrived, some police officers and security guards had already begun to control the scene.
Team Zhao took out the pistol again, led the criminal police team into the warning area, and then gestured to two of the criminal police to observe nearby.
The crime scene was in a small warehouse in the dormitory area. This warehouse is not large, about 100 square meters, and it is stacked with some common daily necessities, and even some fruits, vegetables and meat. Due to poor preservation, it is estimated that many of them have rotted, and the whole warehouse is filled with a strange smell.
Walking into the warehouse, Team Zhao found that the sound insulation effect of this warehouse was particularly good, and it was difficult to hear the movement outside inside. In the same way, if something happens inside, the people outside will not be alert either.
Glancing at the corpse lying in a pool of blood, Team Zhao also frowned, because the appearance of this corpse was too miserable. He has handled many homicides, but he has never encountered such a bizarre and scalp-tingling situation. Some of the criminal policemen who followed behind him even held on to the shelves and began to vomit when they saw the corpses, and the faces of the Song team who were with them were also pale. No wonder they saw those policemen with strange faces when they first came in, and it is estimated that many of them also saw this corpse.
Team Zhao endured the discomfort in his stomach, put on a pair of rubber gloves and lifted the canvas that blocked half of the corpse, and suddenly the whole picture of the corpse was revealed. And after seeing the whole picture of the body, the policemen who had started to vomit before vomited even more at the moment. Team Zhao also felt a chill rise inexplicably in his spine, and his stomach was also rolling, but fortunately he held back it, so he didn't vomit.
The corpse in front of him was soaked in blood all over his body, and the most chilling thing was that all the skin of this corpse was gone.
