Chapter 10 Provocation
My heart pounded, because I knew too well what the rubber band meant. But Uncle Evil was just joking, and he just threw a rubber band over.
Then he curled up in the sofa, and continued to weep and mourn, with his eyes closed, and chanted, "The insects crawl around, and the fields suffer!" β
I repeat this phrase over and over again. Uncle Evil must be giving me some hints, the question is, how to explain the word field?
After a while, I really didn't understand, especially at the end of this day, my mind was a little confused. I didn't bother to guess anything, so I asked directly.
Bai Laoxie squinted at me, held up the "snail" and "cricket" I had drawn, and said to me, "These two patterns express the murderer's goal next time." Diagrams have a special meaning, even a hidden meaning. Crickets can make sounds, and they have the meaning of music. I think...... He must be ready to attack where there is music. β
I listened very carefully, but later found out that this time the evil uncle seemed to be talking nonsense, and it was more obvious that he was making up words on the improvise and using the topic to play.
I laughed and asked him, is what he said really true?
Bai Laoxie also smiled, but laughing was like crying, and now his face is tense, and he said that he knew it was fake, and you still asked?
Bai Laoxie came this time, mainly to give me a word, and since he had finished speaking, he didn't want to stay longer. Beckoning Big Mouth and Daji, they went out together.
I was a little confused, so I didn't stay.
After going out, Bai Laoxie also said to Dazui, "Let's go, continue to go to that place." β
Big Mouth replied helplessly, and I didn't know exactly what I was referring to.
The next day, I went to the police station on time to order, and the Tie Jun received a message and called us together to say that in two days, a performance troupe was going to the TV station.
In normal times, this kind of news is nothing, but our first reaction is, will the Conch Butcher do something to the TV singers at that time?
We can't grasp the movement of the conch butcher at the moment, and we have to guard against it. It's also because Daji and I have been to the TV station and had contact with Caicai, so this mission, Tiejun sent the two of us.
I am not resistant to the task itself, and even in comparison, this is still an advantage and disadvantage, which is much better than going to the building materials market to squat. The problem is that when I think about the Conch Butcher, I think if I really fight that guy, I don't necessarily have to be his opponent.
I don't have anything to say, I'll talk about it.
Tie Jun smiled, reassuring me, and emphasized, "Circle, you and Daji are bright lines, and there will be dark lines at that time." β
I immediately remembered the Wang kidnapping case, when in the hospital, there was a gangster with liquid explosives, and later he was subdued by a mysterious secret line. When I thought of that dark line, I felt a lot more at ease, and I didn't say anything more.
After everyone led the task and left, I went back to the office to pack up briefly, and made an appointment with Daji to leave in an hour.
But before I could call Caicai, she called first.
I thought she was talking to me again, but I said it was just right, and I would interject and tell her that we were going to the TV station.
But Nana's voice on the phone was a little nervous, and she told me that the conch butcher had emailed her again, telling me to hurry up and go to the TV station.
I was stunned at first, but I really didn't expect that at this juncture, the conch butcher would come to stir up the situation. I told Nana not to be nervous, we were on our way to the TV station.
After putting down the phone, I called Xiao Liu, a technical policeman. Xiao Liu told me on the other end of the phone that he was about to look for me, and the software had automatically captured the mobile IP of the conch butcher just now, and the address was in the western suburbs, but the mobile IP was soon offline. Because the time is too short for him to pinpoint the exact location, he will keep an eye on it and let me know as soon as he finds out about it.
I knew Xiao Liu's level, and nodded in response.
I found Daji again and told her a brief about the dishes. We didn't delay and drove over there.
In my impression, Nana is a very resistant person. But when Daji and I came to the TV station and walked to the door of Nana's office, there was a crack in the door, and I heard Nana muttering inside, "Why haven't you come yet...... Why haven't you come yet? β
I coughed twice at the door, and then walked in with Daji.
Nana saw the two of us and calmed down a little.
I comforted her and asked where the email was.
Nana takes us to the desk and points to the laptop screen. I looked at the content of this email, in fact, it was just a few sentences, and the letter that asked Caicai to publish him on tonight's legal program was the letter he drew a pattern!
I suddenly felt that the conch butcher was very naΓ―ve, did he really think of himself like the emperor Lao Tzu? I even laughed angrily and couldn't help but scold, "Fuck! β
Nana asked the two of us, "What should we do next?" β
Daji and I looked at each other, and I had this feeling, since the Conch Butcher was calling, this matter was actually an opportunity, and if it was handled well, it might be possible to catch the Conch Butcher directly.
I told Daji again that she should accompany Caicai, after all, they are all women and easy to talk to. I went out again to call Tie Jun.
I told Tie Jun about the email and its contents. Tie Jun thought for a while before replying, "Observe first, there is an important thing that you two must do well during this period, that is, get the list of the performance troupe in three days, and then ask some details of the performance, and the more praise, the better!" β
To be honest, this is the first time I feel that the Iron Army does not focus on things. Come to think of it, although we suspect that the Conch Butcher will do something to the troupe, but it's just a guess, why does the Iron Army attach so much importance to this troupe?
When I got back to Nana's office, I saw her sitting back at her desk typing, presumably at work, and Daji was sitting on the sofa by herself, fiddling with her phone.
I suddenly felt that the job of the host was not easy to do, and the pressure was so great. I didn't bother her, and sat next to Daji.
I whispered Iron Army's words aside. Daji nodded, signaling that she understood. After waiting for half an hour, Caicai was busy with the work at hand, and the two of us chatted and asked about the performance troupe.
Nana didn't expect us to be police officers, and the news in this regard was so well-informed, she also misunderstood and asked me, "Are you a fan of that performance troupe?" Need me to get you an autograph or something? β
I smiled and shook my head, and explained a few more words.
Nana told us to wait a moment, and she walked out of the office to go next door to ask for a list. When it was just me and Daji, I saw that Daji was still looking through her phone.
On the screen of her phone was a picture of the new Conch Butcher's email.
I saw that she was very observant, so I asked her what she had discovered. Daji shook her head, but also emphasized, "I always think there should be some other clues in this letter!" β
After about ten minutes like this, Caicai came back with a small stack of materials.
I took the information in her hand, and Nana sat down in front of the computer and got busy again.
I looked at the information, and according to the above introduction, this troupe is still a little famous, some young singers and actors. There are even some photos taken by the art troupe when they performed in the past.
The last page is the address and time of the troupe's performance, three days later at 8 p.m., in the second studio of the television station. I read the information twice in order not to miss it.
I'll admit there's nothing wrong with the information itself, but my subconscious tells me that there's something wrong with it. I wonder if I'm too sensitive? Or is the subconscious mind right?
I came up with a stumbling force. And for a while, I didn't have anything to do, so I stumbled with this information.
Little by little, another half an hour passed. Tie Jun called me and asked me how the information of the performance troupe was?
I went out of the office to answer the call, and I almost memorized it because I read the information repeatedly.
I talked to Tie Jun, and Tie Jun asked me to find a place and fax the information to him. I remembered that there was a fax machine in the Caicai office, and I hurried back again.
As I scanned the faxes page by page, suddenly, I had an epiphany.
I looked down at the information, and a line of words appeared in my eyes, "Weihai Yaoshan Folk Art Troupe".
I felt a thrill in my heart. That's right, Weihai!
Isn't the location of the Wang kidnapping case we handled Weihai? There were also quite a few police officers who died at that time. Weihai's criminal police captain Yang Xin also ended up in a lifelong vegetative state. Don't...... Is this folk art troupe related to Wang's kidnapping?
My brain spun quickly, and I thought of the informant knife mantis again, the knife mantis once said that there is a big mountain near Weihai, and that mountain is much larger than Weihai's Luo Mountain, and there is a group of bandits from the northeast in that big mountain, and they are also divided into grades according to the four beams and eight pillars. Could it be that this Yaoshan Folk Art Troupe is a bandit who came out of that big mountain?
I remember that in the early years, there were bandits dressed as artists to commit crimes everywhere, but that was in the old society, that was the work of the Northeast Locks, when I went to the police academy, the teacher told us similar cases, at that time I just listened to it as a story, is it possible that these bandits are still coming to this set?
I thought about it again, and the knife mantis also said that all those bandits have their own unique skills, and the conch butcher is also clean and neat in killing, is he also a member of that gang of bandits? The more I thought about it, the more I felt chills in my back, and my head began to sweat.
I took a cigarette out of my pocket and lit it, and I took two puffs, which stabilized my mind a lot.
But I was also found out by Nana, and she asked me, "Officer, what's wrong with you?" It's not good to smoke so fast. β
I looked at Cai Cai in a daze, and at this moment I felt that the conch butcher case was too serious, and it was even likely to be a catastrophe in the desert state.
I also believe that I am not exaggerating this statement, because once all the people in a bandit den sneak over and commit crimes together, what will be the result?
Especially they all have unique skills, our police are in the open, they are in the dark, how can we prevent it?
