Chapter 66: The Vampire (5)
Gao Qian picked up the phone.
"Hey, High Diver, I knew you weren't sleeping. Sherlock's voice came over the phone, pretending to be relaxed.
"If you're trying to talk to someone right now, I'm sorry, I'm tired. "High dives are cold and icy.
"I'm not really good at chatting, but I have a bizarre death here, and I guess you might be interested to know about it. ”
Gao Qian looked at Li Si, who was playing with the fire, and said lightly: "It depends on how bizarre it is." ”
Sherlock turned his head to look at the white cloth-covered corpse on the ground, and took the preliminary autopsy report from his subordinates in one hand. Behind her was a row of black SUVs, the back door of one of which was wide open, revealing a row of instruments with large and small screens flashing with colorful data.
"The deceased woman, who was found dead outside the gate of a bar, was attended by hundreds of witnesses at the time, but no one saw the killer. Is that bizarre enough?"
"Ordinary. ”
"The deceased lost 70% of his blood and had been violently assaulted and tortured before his death, resulting in multiple fractures in his body. The most obvious injuries were two bloody holes in the arteries in the neck, but the type of murder weapon could not be determined. ”
High Dive now understood that the corpse Sherlock was talking about was the woman who had died outside the Night Raven's Bar. Although he had already known what the woman had suffered in her life through the Green Flame of the Infernal Realm, when he heard Sherlock's description again, a wave of anger still rose in Gao Qian's heart. He stared coldly at the fire in front of him, and tried his best to say indifferently: "Is it a little strange, is there a clue to the murderer?"
A faint smile tugged at the corner of Sherlock's mouth, and she shifted her phone to the other side, gesturing to the headphones in the car, and the row of subordinates operating the instruments in front of her. The subordinate nodded, flipped a switch, and the screen immediately appeared on the display screen to track the cell phone signal.
"The preliminary opinion of our experts is that the murderer is a man of infinite strength, a cruel personality, and a special love for blood. He committed the crime in a fire emergency escape outside a bar before fleeing the scene. The deceased used his last strength to go outside, perhaps trying to call for help from the crowd. But she didn't survive until she was found, and she was already dead. From the last time the deceased appeared in the sight of the crowd to the time the deceased died, no more than twenty minutes passed. ”
"Walk without 70% of your blood?"
"In some witchcraft, there are cases of bloodletting and then the creation of walking corpses. And the blood of the deceased did coagulate into a gelatinous form due to some unidentified substance, so it is possible that she went outside before she died. ”
Gao Qian was silent and did not speak.
Sherlock waited for a while, but didn't hear a response from the high dive, and then went on to himself: "You know what is the most puzzling thing for the experts? How the murderer committed the crime in such a short period of time and left with nearly 3 kilograms of blood. You know that even if the blood hole is in the artery, it will take at least a blood-sucking pump to drain the blood in such a short period of time. And in that narrow emergency passage, the conditions for the use of such equipment are completely absent. ”
A sneer slowly rose from the corner of Gao Qian's mouth. Sherlock called him at this time and told him this, what did he want to do? Is he expecting him to tell her something? Heh, not to mention that there is a sacred treaty in this world, and even if there is no such treaty, why would he help this unidentified and mysterious woman?
Gao Qian took a slow breath: "Is that all, thank you for calling to share this bizarre case, but it's late, I'm going to rest, goodbye." ”
"Wait, high diver!" shouted Sherlock on the other end of the phone.
Gao Qian frowned and took the phone back to his ear: "What else?"
"Surveillance footage, high diving, there are surveillance cameras around the bar. ”
Gao Qian stiffened slightly, and after a while, he said slowly, "What do you want to say?"
"High dive, should I ask you, is there anything you want to tell me?" Sherlock turned around and glanced at the screens of a row of instruments in the car, one of which was repeating a scene repeatedly: the woman was leaning against the wall alone, a man approached her, and then reached out and touched her shoulder, the woman fell straight down, the crowd gathered around, and the man suddenly disappeared.
Gao Qian held the phone stiff for a moment, and then he beckoned to Li Si. Li Si walked over. Gao Qian held the microphone of his mobile phone and whispered: "Go find the surveillance cameras around here and destroy them." Li Si nodded slightly and left quickly.
Gao Qian then put the phone back to his ear: "I don't know what you're talking about, but if you want to find the murderer, I think it's probably dead." ”
"Probably?"
"Dead too much to die again. ”
"I can't close this case just because of your words, Gao Qian, you have to show me the evidence. Sherlock said.
"You can't accuse me of anything just because of a surveillance video, and there's only so much I can tell you. Gao Qian hung up the phone and turned off his phone at the same time.
At this time, Li Si returned.
"The building only has a surveillance camera at the entrance to the main entrance, but before we could get into the shooting range, I usually cut off the power all the time. I've checked other places too, and there's a camera at the traffic light, but I can't get it here. ”
Probably Gao Qian showed a surprised expression. Li Si explained with a smile: "People like us are very sensitive to things like surveillance cameras, and we will pay attention to these things at any time, after all, we don't want humans to find out about our existence. ”
Gao Qian was silent, it seems that the most rookie is himself.
Ten minutes later,
Several black SUVs parked silently in front of an abandoned office building.
A woman in an almond-colored trench coat was the first to jump out of the car and take in the building in front of her. Then more young men in black uniforms got out of the car, trained to search the surroundings with detectors, and soon they locked onto the pile of apparently burned remains on the ground, and began to take photos and samples on their own.
Sherlock put his hands in the pockets of his trench coat and watched thoughtfully as his subordinates went about their business.
At this time, a young man with a pair of gentle eyes walked up to her and whispered, "The only camera in the vicinity has been cut off, and it has not captured any valuable information. The time of the power outage is thirty minutes ago. ”
Sherlock chuckled, "No, the monitoring was cut off before I called the high diver, and it seems that this time he has a helper." ”
"Team leader, you said that the black thing on the ground is really the murderer?"
"Xu Zhe, do you believe me?"
Xu Zhe opened his mouth, and finally said with a little depression: "Letter." ”
"I know you're trying to say that you can't tell from that surveillance video that the man is a high diver. Sherlock said with a light smile.
"Team leader, you know you're still ......"
"But I just think the guy is a high diver, you know my instincts have always been accurate. ”
Xu Zhe looked at the sky silently. When it comes to intuition, the team leader's self-confidence is strong enough to be intimidating. Xu Zhe wisely gave up arguing with the team leader about whether intuition is reliable. Moreover, in fact, it seems that the team leader's guess is not wrong.
"Team leader, do you have any intuition about who this high diver is, and how did he kill such a murderous murderer?"
"I don't have any idea about who the high diver is, but I do have a hunch that we will have many opportunities to deal with the high diver in the future. And many of the mysteries that have plagued us for many years will be solved one by one. I am convinced of this. ”
