Chapter 34: The Chef's Dilemma
Ren Qiuling shone a flashlight on the corpse of the girl for about five seconds, the girl was wearing round-toed leather shoes, and the clothes on her body looked like the kind of stalls - the lack of lighting and the distance were too far to see the details of the clothes, but the texture of the clothes could be felt that the texture of the clothes was not very good. This is the daughter of a poor family, who is supposed to be a high school student.
Turning off the flashlight, Ren Qiuling held the gun and thought: Why are so many girls missing, and the Zitong police don't seem to have any movement?
In terms of the size of the city, the population of Zitong City today is about 800,000, which is not a small city. But hundreds of girls are missing, all of whom are missing, and it is impossible for the local police not to be aware of them.
The copper police are in a dilemma: if they pay attention to this case, the result may be the same as the copper serial case back then, and they can't find anything, but make people laugh. If they ignore the case, it may cause local people to report that they are not doing anything.
Their situation is very similar to the chef's dilemma, and their methods of dealing with it are also very similar to that of the clever chef: in the 80s, an apprentice dropped a piece of meat to the ground in the canteen of a local government to entertain the leaders above. The apprentice took the meat slices and was about to throw them away, but the master stopped him: "You are wasting food, it is not easy for farmers to raise pigs, it is not right for you to waste things like this." The apprentice thought for a moment, took the slices of meat and put them under the faucet, ready to wash them and throw them into the pot. The master stopped him again: "You are irresponsible to the leader, you can't be sure that the bacteria on the meat slices can be washed away, how can you fry such meat for the leader to eat?" The apprentice was stunned and asked the master, "Then what should I do?" ”
The master took the dirty slices of meat, threw them into the pan as if nothing had happened, and fried them with the other clean slices. "Everybody doesn't say it, who knows if you dropped the meat slices on the ground?" The master said so.
I believe that the copper police did not put much thought into the case of the girl's disappearance, and their original idea was to hide it. To the parents of the teenage girl who came to report the crime, they explained that your daughter may have gone out to work, and there are many such cases now; Maybe you ran away with your boyfriend, just be patient, they'll be back! To their superiors, they didn't mention it at all.
Hello, hello, everyone, happy and happy, why not?
As for how many girls are missing, what does it matter if these girls are dead or alive?
Ren Qiuling sighed, flashed the flashlight and shook it for a while, then returned to the small railroad track, raised the gun and stepped back again.
The afterglow of the flashlight shone on a large shadow on the top of the cave, it looked like the shadow of the protruding rock next to the girl's corpse, but in the shadow, there was a crack, and an amber eye was coldly observing Ren Qiuling in the gap.
The light of the flashlight went out.
The shadow cracked silently, and it turned out to be the shadow disguised by Wu Zhijun's two black wings, and the wings parted, naturally revealing Wu Zhijun.
Wu Zhijun's body after his waist has turned into slender snake bodies, and now these snake bodies are wrapped around the upside-down stone pillars hanging from the top of the cave. As the snake's body relaxed, Wu Zhijun silently descended to the ground. Like a cobra pricking up its neck, Wu Zhijun erected his upper body, which was still like a person, and looked at Ren Qiuling, who was leaving carefully, and smiled softly. Behind him, the snake-like body was twisting and hanging down, first reluctantly wrapping around the mud jar, and then slowly sliding to the ground without making a sound.
Ren Qiuling turned on the flashlight again, and with a soft "pop", the mine lit up again. She held up her flashlight and shook it in front of her, feeling that there was no danger, and turned off the flashlight and walked forward again.
She believed that Wu Zhijun would be ambushed somewhere ahead, ready to attack her suddenly. Judging from Wu Zhijun's past criminal characteristics, this criminal actually had no confidence in his physical strength, and he didn't even dare to face the female victim with his bare hands. Normally, after he sneaks through the door, he will stab the victim frantically at the first time, striving to make the victim lose the ability to resist in the shortest possible time.
Ren Qiuling believed that even if Wu Zhijun was now a monster who was neither human nor ghostly, he would still use his habitual attack method - surprise attack.
Now that she had guessed the other party's possible way of action, Ren Qiuling believed that Wu Zhijun would hide at the turn of the mine, or in the depression of the cave wall, and when he passed by, he would suddenly rush out and give himself a hard blow. For this place, Ren Qiuling is always very careful. After all, she was professionally trained, and she had a gun in her hand, so she didn't worry about a sneak attack. Her only concern was that the light of the flashlight was getting dimmer.
"Smack!" The light of the flashlight lit up again, and Ren Qiuling saw a pale face in the depression of the cave wall in front of her. She almost fired, but when she looked closely, it was a newly dead female corpse. This girl seemed to have been tortured before she died, and she was already as thin as a hungry ghost being. She was tied around her neck with a rope and hung from the cave wall, like a sunny doll.
Ren Qiuling sighed, turned off the flashlight, and walked forward on the railroad tracks from memory.
Behind her, Wu Zhijun sniffed intoxicatedly and sniffed her hair. Wu Zhijun's slender and flexible snake body pressed against the small rails, and the thinnest tail caressed each sleeper with affection. He loved this place so much because there were memories of him everywhere in it.
"I'm afraid! Shall we get out of here? Wu Zhijun begged Dong Fengxian at the entrance of the mine.
Dong Fengxian encouraged him and said, "Do you remember what others think of you? 'Useless martial deaf! 'Do you think you're a useless man?' ”
Wu Zhijun was so angry that he opened his nose wide: "One day...... One day I will prove to everyone that I am a real man! ”
Dong Fengxian smiled softly and took his hand, "You can prove it to me now." Like a little couple, they laughed and ran into the mine, and then, Wu Zhijun saw a young woman hanging upside down.
The woman's face was very well contoured, with a Western beauty. Maybe it was because of hunger, maybe it was because of hatred, and a pair of eyes burned and sparked on the woman's barely raised face. "Hmm...... Hmm......" The woman's mouth was gagged, and she could only use her nose to make angry sounds.
Dong Fengxian hugged Wu Zhijun as if showing off, kissed him hard, and then attached it to Wu Zhijun's ear, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Wu, can you help me kill her?" ”
Wu Zhijun shouted: "Why? She didn't mess with me. ”
Dong Fengxian pushed Wu Zhijun away and said in disgust: "You go!" ”
Wu Zhijun didn't leave, he glanced at the woman who was hanging upside down, the woman felt that Wu Zhijun was her only hope of survival, and her eyes were full of pleading. He glanced at Dong Fengxian cautiously again, and now this woman's eyes were full of disappointment.
"This world is actually the same as the forest, the law of the jungle. If you are a rabbit, you are destined to be eaten by eagles. Dong Fengxian said: "Either you harm others, or others harm you." If you choose to leave, I won't blame you, only blame me for still not having eyesight and seeing the wrong person. ”
Wu Zhijun was silent for a long time, then he ran a few steps and kicked the upside-down woman in the head, kicking the tear-filled face to shreds.
"Well done! You are indeed a real man! Dong Fengxian applauded and shouted, and then sighed and said: "If you are a good person, you will be rewarded, who the fuck wants to be a bad person?" ”
Afterwards, Wu Zhijun learned that Dong Fengxian's love history was very complicated. The woman who was hanging upside down snatched one of her boyfriends, so she kidnapped the woman. But Wu Zhijun didn't care about Dong Fengxian's past, he regarded Dong Fengxian as a girlfriend, as a teacher, and as a perfect woman. Because Wu Zhijun himself has an unbearable past.
The light from Ren Qiuling's flashlight was already very faint, shining on the ground, like a deformed pancake.
She paused, thinking about how to get something that would illuminate.
Wu Zhijun stretched out his purple bifurcated tongue and gently swept past Ren Qiuling's face. The tongue was more than two feet long and covered with mucus. "What a beautiful woman! Outstanding appearance, hot figure, both civil and military, noble birth. Such a woman is worthy of my current prey. ”
A drop of mucus from her tongue fell on Ren Qiuling's shoulder. The slight touch made Ren Qiuling move, and she reached out and touched it on her shoulder, and the tentacles were slippery.
She jerked on her flashlight, and at the same time raised her flashlight and gun to the roof of the cave. In the dim light, copper ore crystals can be seen glittering along with water droplets. There is nothing surprising that the moisture from the ground rushes to the roof of the cave, and water droplets naturally form when it encounters rocks.
Just as Ren Qiuling was observing, the flashlight ran out of electricity, and the light went out all at once.
Ren Qiuling forced herself to keep her composure, she took a deep breath, and tentatively walked along the railroad tracks with her feet.
The rails turned a corner, and there was a bright light in front of them, which turned out to be another vent. As if she saw hope, Ren Qiuling pinned the flashlight to her waist and stumbled towards the vent.
Wu Zhijun froze in place, staring at the bright vent, the pupils in his eyes narrowed into a line. He spread his wings, and the snake's body flicked off the rails, and the man was already in the air. He turned sideways lightly, picked up the neck-hanging female corpse from the cave wall, and flew over Ren Qiuling's head with the female corpse.
Ren Qiuling heard the sound of the wind behind her, instinctively rolled on the spot, flashed to the cave wall and raised her gun, and saw a large section of the snake's body bending through the air, and the edges of the scales on the snake's body flashed with silver light.
She raised her gun to shoot, but there was only one silver bullet, but she hesitated - there was only one silver bullet, and if it hit Wu Zhijun's snake body, it might not hurt him that much.
After such a hesitation, Wu Zhijun had blocked the vent with a female corpse again, and the hole was dark again.
