Chapter 115: Bloody Banquet
On the dark red page of the magazine, the words "White Night" are printed in large characters, and in the square in the lower right corner, the words 46 are written in Arabic numerals.
I didn't expect that under this pile of books, there would be the forty-sixth issue of White Nights Magazine!
White Nights Publishing House only published the magazine for forty-three issues before it went out of business, and the two issues that appeared after that were printed by the people behind the scenes.
Its main purpose is the reasoning article on the suspense section, and the two articles are exactly the same as the two murders that happened before.
Seeing this, a fear that penetrated deep into the bone marrow spread throughout the body.
The forty-fourth issue of the magazine was left to me by Guo Fangzheng. It was precisely because of the issue of the magazine he handed me that I shifted my attention from Huayuan City to Z City.
As for the forty-fifth issue of the magazine, I bought it at the drifting bookstore at the train station. I didn't expect that since Huayuan City, I have been targeted by this group of guys!
Perhaps this is just why they were able to create the same murder scene on the train.
The other party's forces are too strong, and everything that happened before is what they expected. And I was like a pawn in the whole layout, being played with by them.
Two magazines, two bizarre murders, all presented from my first perspective! Looking at the forty-sixth issue of the magazine in front of me, I couldn't help but swallow.
Looks like something terrible is about to happen!
Because Liu Hao had explained the murder article to Lin Feng before, he knew a little bit about the content of it, and when he saw that issue of the magazine, he was also horrified.
"Uncle, have you ever seen the same magazine appear in the room before?"
"No. I've never seen this book before, so I guess it's a ghost left here, right? ”
At this time, I didn't care about what they said, so I picked up the magazine and went directly to the suspense section.
Although this issue of White Nights Magazine is a copy, most of the details are still not much different from the original, and it is no wonder that I mistakenly think that the two books I have are issued by the magazine without reading the original magazine.
Most of the other articles in the magazine were plagiarized from the previously published articles, but only the reasoning published by Kogoro Mori in the suspense section was original by the murderer, and the other party's purpose was also on this article.
He wants the story in the article to be staged in reality!
As expected, the author of the suspense section of this issue of the magazine is really Maori Kogoro, and that guy still didn't reveal the secrets of the previous articles, but put a new article: Bloody Banquet!
When I saw this title, I unconsciously chuckled in my heart, and instantly thought that Lin Xiaoxue would hold a wedding banquet on the sixth floor of the office building today.
I endured the horror in my heart and patiently continued to read the article.
Like the previous two, the article is also presented from the first perspective of the detective, and the protagonist's name is still Detective G!
Detective G is invited to his ex-girlfriend's engagement party, and he doesn't want to be at the wedding party, and suddenly gets into an argument with his girlfriend's fiancé.
Seeing that the two were about to make a move, under the persuasion of relatives and friends, they forcibly separated the two to ensure that the banquet continued.
Just as the session was progressing and the newlyweds were pouring champagne for the guests, the unexpected happened.
The host pushed out the pre-built cup tower, and then asked the newlyweds to pour the champagne from the top of the glass tower downward, but after a few seconds of pouring, the champagne gushing out turned blood red.
Immediately, the detective's ex-girlfriend and his fiancé fell to the ground one after another, and died due to excessive blood loss.
At the end of the article, there is still a very inappropriate sentence from the author named Maori Kogoro: It is known that the murderer cannot be a detective, and that guy is hiding among the guests invited to the wedding banquet. Who was the murderer and how did he kill the bride and groom?
If you are smart, you must have thought of the answer, please leave a message to us, and the answer will be announced in the next issue!
Grass mud horse? There is the next issue, and there are two issues in a row, and I haven't seen you announce the answer to the previous issue in any issue!
An unprecedented anger swept through the whole body, I never expected that the other party had been arrogant to such a point, and he actually put the target on Lin Xiaoxue's body!
With three consecutive issues of reasoning, the clues or lengths given in each issue are getting shorter and shorter, perhaps because the murderer is also aware of the pressure from me, he is afraid of writing too much, and I will gain insight into his plan in advance.
I told Lin Feng on the side about the general content of the magazine, and this guy listened to it, and reacted more than me, pulling me to rush to the sixth floor and rescue Lin Xiaoxue.
If there was anyone in this world who could make Lin Feng care so much, maybe it could only be Lin Xiaoxue.
Outside the security room, we had a face-to-face with Liu Hao, who rushed over, and I gave a general account of Liu Hao about the 46th issue of the murder magazine.
After listening to my description, Liu Hao was also shocked, and his eyebrows wrinkled directly into a Sichuan zigzag.
"According to what you say, the murderer's next target is really likely to be Xiaoxue and Song Shuai, but do you think there are other possibilities?"
I know what Liu Hao meant, he subconsciously felt that the other party might have an anti-mentality.
The murderer may have designed the murder at a wedding banquet elsewhere, but he deliberately placed the magazine in the security room of this office building, in order to divert the attention of me and the police to Lin Xiaoxue and Song Shuai, so as to find space for his own attack.
To be honest, after knowing that Lin Xiaoxue might be killed, my heart also lost its calm for a while, but after Liu Hao's little touch, I calmed down again.
And whoever that bastard's next target is, he's doing it for me. That's exactly the case, then I dare to be sure that the other party's target will definitely be on Lin Xiaoxue!
"Why are you so sure?" Liu Hao looked at me puzzled, as if he hadn't understood the hidden meaning of the murder article.
"It's very simple!" While analysing the current situation, I explained to all the officers present:
Since the other party left a murder article, it is clear that according to the content of the article, the wedding banquet somewhere is to create a homicide!
In the previous two cases, the case was presented from the central point of view. In other words, the murderer is the detective character who actually put me in the article!
I don't know where I offended the murderer and why he targeted me so much.
can be his character and consistent way of acting, since he wants to present the whole case with me as the center, then the next target can only be chosen by Lin Xiaoxue.
In this way, some of the plots can be shown in reality.
"Liu Hao, let me ask you, is there no direct or indirect evidence that Chang Qingshan has left this office building?"
Liu Hao listened to my explanation and immediately realized.
"In other words, it is possible that Chang Qingshan is hiding somewhere in the corner of the office building, and has been preparing for the next homicide?"
Whether Chang Qingshan is behind the scenes or not, it's hard to say for a while, in short, that guy must have a major connection with the whole case, at least he is a key part of it.
As for whether the last person to do it is Chang Qingshan, I don't know, anyway, what we have to do now is to catch the murderer and protect Lin Xiaoxue and Song Shuai.
I vaguely feel that now is the only chance for me to go head-to-head with that murderer as the whole case has developed so far! Maybe if I miss this opportunity, I won't be able to catch that bastard again!
For a while, thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind, and out of interest considerations, I also thought about whether to use Song Shuai and Lin Xiaoxue as bait to attract the murderer.
But every time I think of Lin Xiaoxue's innocent face, and the picture of her risking for my safety at St. Mary's Hospital, my heart begins to waver. If the roles were reversed, Lin Xiaoxue would never risk my life like this.
The time is fleeting, the wedding banquet on the sixth floor has already begun, and there is not much time left for us to prepare.
turned around and yelled at Liu Hao: "Officer Liu, how many people did you bring from the police station?" ”
"Bring everything you can bring, Goofy, what do you want to do?"
I didn't answer him directly, but looked into Liu Hao's eyes and asked word by word: "I'll just ask once, Officer Liu, can you believe me unconditionally?" ”
