Chapter 17: A Defeat
The guy was extremely fast and agile, and after turning over, he got into the other side of the corridor and disappeared, and several young police officers behind him reacted for a moment before chasing him out from both directions.
A bad premonition came to me, and I walked towards the back room with the rest of the people, and as soon as I pushed open the half-hidden door, I choked on the smell of blood.
The room was filled with blood, and on the floor in front of her, there was a woman lying there, it was Liu Mei!
Liu Mei was wearing a red dress, her lower body was naked, her hands and feet were tied together by hemp rope, and her mouth was tied with a white cloth, and she fell in a pool of blood like that.
The red dress was the one that the murderer had stolen from her home a few days earlier, and it also had the image of a cartoon rabbit on its chest. At this time, Liu Mei was dying because of a lot of blood loss!
Lin Xiaoxue and I hurriedly rushed forward to stop the bleeding for her.
But there were too many wounds on her body, and that perverted murderer not only cut off her nose and ears, but also stabbed her in the abdomen, chest, and back with a boning knife!
"Liu Mei, hold on, you can survive!" I tried to stop her bleeding and comfort her.
"Goofy!" Liu Mei's lifeless eyes finally had a reaction, and only at this time did she look less annoying.
"I'm sorry, that guy told me to do it." She said this sentence desperately, propped up her hand and pulled off her blouse, and then stopped moving completely.
On her towering chest, someone carved a string of numbers with a knife, 619, which looks particularly eye-catching.
There was warm blood all around, but Liu Mei's body was indeed extremely cold. "I'm sorry, I'm still a step slower!"
Gold-rimmed glasses arrived later, looking at everything in the house, and didn't want to believe it for a long time.
I let go of the already cold corpse in my hand and looked back at him, for a moment, angry, aggrieved, and helpless. Countless emotions came to my heart.
"She didn't have to die, we had a chance to save her, we could have caught the murderer, as long as, you believe me, even if it's this time!"
I looked at all the officers in the room, and they looked down at me like children who had done something wrong.
"It's you, it's you who killed her, you're all murderers!" Tears continued to slide down the tear ducts, and suddenly, the world swirled, and I felt that the world was incredibly quiet, and everyone around me was running towards me.
In an instant, I myself fell in a pool of blood, and the blood on the ground seemed to flow out of my body, and gradually, only darkness surrounded me.
。。。。。。
Darkness, still endless darkness, in the darkness, suddenly a woman appeared, dressed in a white wedding dress, standing in front of me.
I recognized it at a glance, it was my fiancée who had been missing for three years!
I ran to her desperately, trying to ask what had happened after all these years, and where she had gone. But as soon as I got closer, my fiancée suddenly turned into a corpse dressed in red.
Then, one after another corpses appeared beside me, all dressed in red, a blur of flesh and blood, among them, Wang Li and Liu Mei.
Finally, I saw myself dressed in red, covered in blood, and became one with them.....
"Ahh
With a scream, I suddenly woke up and found myself lying on a hospital bed, surrounded by a white patch, where am I?
"You're awake!"
A familiar female voice came from the side, and she turned her head to look.
Lin Xiaoxue was sitting next to her, holding a knife to peel apples seriously, but her skills were so poor that the skin of the apples did not exceed two centimeters, so she had to cut them off.
"The doctor said that you are infected with wind and cold, plus overwork, and you will faint in a hurry, nothing serious, just rest more."
"How many days have I been asleep?"
"No more, no less, exactly one day!"
Looking at Lin Xiaoxue's haggard appearance, it is estimated that she has also survived in the hospital all day.
I took the apple from her hand, and at the same time, my mind was racing back to remembering what had happened before I passed out. Gold-rimmed glasses, Liu Mei, by the way, and the murderer!
"Has the murderer been caught?"
"No, the situation at the time was a bit strange...."
Looking at the way she wanted to speak and stopped, I knew that something had happened to Bacheng, so I hurriedly asked.
Lin Xiaoxue was afraid that after I knew the truth, her body would not be able to accept it, but seeing that I was so serious, it was not good to continue to hide what happened that day.
It turned out that not long after the red-clothed weirdo ran out, the police who came later received an order to completely seal off the neighborhood.
As the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the police officers behind him kept following the guy closely, the red-clothed stranger had no way to escape but to rush to the top of the building.
After this guy rushed to the top floor of the seventh floor, without the slightest hesitation, he jumped down and landed straight on top of a large truck parked downstairs, and immediately blood splashed and shattered.
The police soon arrived and took away his body, as well as the murder weapon he was holding, the boning knife. After forensic verification, it was confirmed that the sharp knife in the prisoner's hand was the murder weapon that killed Liu Mei.
The strange thing is that the follow-up autopsy results are unacceptable to everyone.
The autopsy revealed that the blood in the body of the red-clad monster had already completely coagulated, and the heart should have stopped beating a long time ago. And when he fell off the tall building, a large area of corpse spots appeared on the upper surface of his body, and his eyes were dark gray.
Various conclusions indicate that the body in front of him had died at least three days earlier.
So the question is, how could a person who should have been confirmed dead three days ago kill Liu Mei, evade the police, and then jump off a tall building and die again?
After listening to her story, my mind, which had finally stabilized, became chaotic again.
"The identity of the strange man in red, has it been confirmed?"
"A few hours ago, Uncle Fang took someone to confirm that the dead red-clothed stranger was a homeless man with a mild intellectual disability, and many shelters in Heijin City had his information registered, but a week ago, this guy suddenly disappeared and disappeared, so he ....."
"So the dead red-clothed monster should just be a temporary scapegoat for the suspect, although I don't know what method that guy used, but he still let him escape!"
I'm an atheist, so some iron logic doesn't change in my eyes.
A corpse that has been dead for three days, it is absolutely impossible to kill. When the murderer was fleeing for his life, he must have used some kind of trick to deceive the police officers who followed him and created such an effect.
Unfortunately, I passed out that day, so I couldn't find more effective clues to prove my reasoning.
"By the way, the doctor found some strange substances in your blood test, and I can't figure out why you have this substance left in your body." Lin Xiaoxue said as if she suddenly remembered something.
"Well, what's that?"
"Every 100 milliliters of blood you have a trace amount of toad bacteria left, and if you overdose, you can hallucinate and even go into shock."
Toad? I've heard of this thing, a fungus plant found mostly in Siberia and central North America, where it is said to have been used by the PaleoIndians as a hallucinogen to suppress unbearable pain.
Also, toad mushrooms can't be transplanted in Asia at all, it's really rare, why is there such a thing in my body?
There are too many questions, and they pop up at the same time, which makes my mind confused. I thought that if I guessed the murderer's target, I would be able to gain the first opportunity, but I didn't expect that until now, this black gold case is still full of fog.
Who is that guy sacred, why is every move of the police, including me, seen through by him in advance, is it possible?
Suddenly, a speculation came to mind, but it was quickly rejected by myself.
I couldn't think too much about it, so I quickly got up and struggled to get to the police station.
As soon as she moved, Lin Xiaoxue on the side was still anxious, and pushed hard to prevent me from getting up. Unexpectedly, the two of them staggered for a while, and fell on the bed at the same time, and I was firmly pressed under her and couldn't move.
Not to mention, it's quite comfortable to be pressed under such a big beauty
"What are you doing!" Her face turned red, and she just wanted to lose her temper, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was wrong, as if she took the initiative to push me down: "By the way, you... You've just recovered from this body, what if you faint again? ”
"It's okay, isn't this you! It's a big deal to send it to the hospital again. Good ~ obedient. ”
I asked Lin Xiaoxue to hurry up and go through the discharge procedures for me, and in the afternoon of the same day, I rushed back to the Heijin City Police Station and resumed my work.
I can guarantee that with the character of the murderer, he will once again challenge the authority of the public security system.
Liu Mei is the sixth, and there are three more people left from the murderer's target, and I must do my best to stop that bastard before these three people are killed.
Since Mr. Yan has handed over the case to me, at this time, I have to come forward to control the overall situation.
If I don't catch that guy with my own hands for a day, my hanging heart won't let go for a day!
After Liu Mei's incident, all the police officers changed their opinion of me, and at least after I guessed that the murderer was targeted, they could more or less believe my reasoning. It's just that the fear hidden in the eyes of the police officers has not been able to get rid of it.
As for the gold-rimmed glasses, he solemnly apologized to me many times, saying that the higher authorities had severely criticized him.
He also confessed that his prejudice against me was completely wrong, as for slandering me for recruiting prostitutes, saying that Liu Mei took the initiative to tell him, he was in a hot mind at the time, but in fact, there was no substantive evidence at all.
Despite this, Gold-rimmed Glasses still hoped that I would understand his behavior, and from then on, everyone could arrest the real murderer together regardless of previous suspicions.
I smiled and agreed to the request of the gold-rimmed glasses, and then asked him to go to the archives to copy all the files, which was regarded as his modest contribution to the detection of the black gold case.
Even if this kind of person is truly repentant, it is impossible for me to let go of my past suspicions and work with him.
It is worth mentioning that the most important clue we have at present is Liu Mei's cold corpse, because it is absolutely impossible for the deceased to lie.
