Chapter 448: The Line Between Life and Death
The walls, photos, newspaper clippings, and the boning blade on the ground, no matter who lives in this room, this person has a great deal to do with the murders of Li Jing and Liu Meiqin.
It's just that because of the information I have before, I prefer to believe that it was Luo Bing who lived in this place before this. That man perfectly fits all the characteristics of the murderer.
This room is empty, and listening to the movement, Lu Yuan and Lao Yan shouldn't have much to gain.
It's hard to imagine that we couldn't find Luo Bing's whereabouts in room 614.
But the wooden door before was obviously locked from the inside, which proves that there were indeed people in the house between our arrivals. What's going on? Could it be that there is some kind of strangeness hidden in this?
Just then, when the wind was blowing, I caught a glimpse of the balcony door of the next room being open, and there was a series of metal crashing sounds under the night wind.
The moment I saw the door, it was as if something flashed in my mind, and then I unconsciously shouted to everyone in the living room, "Damn, I understand!" That guy is out there! ”
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw a dark shadow flash in the aisle outside, rushing towards the other end of the corridor.
That guy is really powerful, it is estimated that the moment he heard the movement, he hid on the edge of the balcony. Because of the structure of the apartment, each room is arranged very closely together, especially the balcony, which is almost separated by one body.
I guess that guy took advantage of our lack of attention and flipped from this balcony to the opposite side, and took the opportunity to escape into the hallway.
Thankfully, I reacted in time, otherwise I would have let that bastard slip away from our eyes.
"Chase!" Lu Yuan was the first to react and followed me out of the door.
The figure was still running wildly in the hallway, but fortunately he wasn't fast, and the two of us could easily catch up with it with a little effort.
"Damn, that guy, something seems wrong!" Lu Yuan looked at the passage where the figure fled, and suddenly squeezed out these words from his mouth.
Hearing him say that, I quickly noticed that something was wrong.
The direction of the guy's escape was not the stairwell, but the side opposite the staircase.
The habitable area of this apartment is only up to six floors, and if my memory is correct, the end of the side where the figure escapes should be connected to the rooftop. What do you want to do?
Between the roof and the floor, only a small skylight connects to it, and a small old wooden ladder is placed in which residents can go up to dry their clothes. The figure ran to the back of the wooden ladder, almost using both hands and feet, and hurriedly climbed to the rooftop, and Lu Yuan and I followed closely and climbed up together.
As soon as I poked my head out of the skylight, I felt a cold wind hit me, and I could barely breathe.
It's the turn of autumn and winter, and it's approaching dawn, the coldest time of the day. On the other hand, I was wearing only a thin sweatshirt, and when the cold wind blew, I was almost shivering all over.
"This bastard, if you catch him, you have to kill him!" Lu Yuan's condition was not much better than mine, so he cursed secretly, and also slipped out of the skylight and searched around.
The whole rooftop space was bigger than I expected, with all kinds of clutter piled up on both sides, and the lighting was not good, so it took us a long time to finally lock down the specific location of that guy.
The guy was very thin, with short hair covered with silver strands, and a pair of glasses perched on the bridge of his tall nose.
His eye sockets are very deep, it is estimated that he has not had a good rest for a long time, and it is only after getting closer that I can be sure that the figure in front of me is the Luo Bing in the previous photo.
In just one year, the changes in Luo Bing's face are too great, and at the age of forty, he looks like a little old man. Even if I had just seen a picture of him, I almost didn't recognize this guy.
Luo Bing just stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking at me and Lu Yuan motionlessly, and from this angle, half of his body was almost completely poked out.
Luo Bing was already thin, and when the cold wind blew, his thin body was like a piece of paper, and he could fall from the edge of the rooftop at any time.
The human body is extremely fragile, and the damage caused by hitting the ground at that speed is simply not enough for the human body alone.
From the rooftop to the ground, it was more than 15 meters high, and in an instant, many bizarre images flashed in my mind. A man fell from a great height, and under the influence of gravity, he smashed to the ground at an extremely fast speed.
I could almost see Luo Bing's skull directly change shape, and a red-white viscous liquid overflowed from the gap. The bones of the joints of the body are broken into multiple segments, the hand bones pierce the skin of the elbows, the sternum pierces into the internal organs, and the two thighs are all reshaped, in an exaggerated posture, horizontal on both sides of the body.
......
I quickly stopped imagining, pulled Lu Yuan, and told him not to continue to move forward.
I looked at Luo Bing, whose face was like ashes, and slowed down my tone and said, "Come back first, okay." Let's have a good chat! ”
"Indeed, we need to have a good talk." Luo Bing looked at me, and there was still not much change in expression on his face. In this case, I couldn't read the man's inner thoughts from his expression.
"Mr. Gao Fei, hello, my name is Luo Bing, there is no need for more introductions, I believe you have already investigated my situation in private." In the cold wind, Luo Bing looked at us coldly and said word by word.
In his words, there was no panic like when he ran away before. Such a scene can't help but make me a little suspicious that the Luo Bing in front of me and the figure I saw in the corridor before are the same person.
"This is our first time, and I believe it will be the last time we will meet, time is limited, but I really want to talk to you more. In a way, we're actually a lot alike. ”
I was a little confused by his words: "Like? Why? ”
"We've all been forced to do things we wouldn't have done. The difference is that you finally escaped from that quagmire, and I was in it, sinking deeper and deeper. ”
It can be seen that he and Wang Li are truly in love with each other, and until now, Luo Bing still has a silver-white ring on his ring finger. And the police once found the same style of ring in Wang Li's relics.
The woman he loved was brutally killed, but the murderer was not caught. Because there was not enough evidence, the whole case has been stagnant. The disheartened Luo Bing could only go alone to explore the truth, but unexpectedly found that Wang Li's friend had witnessed the whole process of the crime, but out of jealousy and worry, he deliberately concealed it and did not report it, so he let go of Jiang Sheng's murderous demon.
Luo Bing spoke very slowly, but every word in his words was like a thin needle, piercing my heart fiercely.
In just a few words, I could feel the desperation of this man. In that case, maybe I have a way of convincing him to turn back.
I stretched out my right hand, stepped forward slightly, and walked towards Luo Bing tentatively: "If you want to avenge Wang Li, if you want to catch the murderer who killed her, come over and cooperate with the police." Trust us, we will definitely be able to give you justice! The murderer of the black gold case must be punished as he deserves! ”
However, my persuasion did not seem to change Luo Bing's mind, he sighed, and then moved a step towards the edge of the rooftop: "Justice, for me, is it useful?" Even if Jiang Sheng was punished, it would be impossible for those who died to come back. And my hands are already covered with blood, and I will never be able to turn them back into 。。。。。 ”
"Wait!" Luo Bing's words, but I was terrified, how did he know Jiang Sheng? Could it be that they had already met before that?
"Huh." Luo Bing looked at me and smiled helplessly: "If it weren't for that man, how could I have known that Li Jing and Liu Meiqin were actually doing that kind of thing behind their backs." If it weren't for that man, I wouldn't have been stained with blood on my hands and spent my days in fear. Jiang Sheng, he is not a human being at all, if you want to describe it, the word devil is more appropriate.
I knew that he was my enemy, but I couldn't avenge Wang Li. I know that killing people can't solve the problem, but I can't control myself, I 。。。。。。 ”
Luo Bing mechanically read this passage out of his mouth, and at this moment, he gave me the feeling that he was like a doll without a soul.
Through his narration, I can already roughly understand the relationship between the deaths of Li Jing and Liu Meiqin and the black gold case.
As Tang Yirou said, Jiang Sheng did not kill Li Jing and Liu Meiqin, at least, he did not have time to kill.
But that bastard was instigating Luo Bing behind the scenes, and tricked him to kill Li Jing and Liu Meiqin step by step.
If Jiang Sheng hadn't intervened, how could Luo Bing know about the special murder methods in the Heijin case? Without Jiang Sheng's intervention, how could Luo Bing know about the relationship between Liu Meiqin and Li Jing and Wang Li's murder.
Jiang Sheng, that bastard, although he didn't take the initiative to kill people, but he let two innocent women die because of him, and the karma committed by this bastard can't be repaid in this life.
Even after knowing the truth, I was doing my last bit to save the life of Luo Bing in front of me: "Luo Bing, calm down, you haven't given up hope!" Did you do all these things by mailing me those newspaper clippings and making anonymous phone calls to the police? ”
At this moment, Luo Bing's face finally crossed a smile of relief.
"I just did what I could, to atone for my sins as much as I could."
