Chapter 154: Investigation of the case
"Forget it, it's none of my business. It's good to send He Ning safely, and when the salary is settled tomorrow, Nangu Town will be none of my business. β
Da-da-da-da!
At this moment, the surrounding sleeping families suddenly turned on their lights, crackled and sounded footsteps, and surrounded them in the direction where the two of them were!
"What people!"
"There is, don't let him run!"
Beams of flashlights flickered closer and closer, blocking both ends of the alley.
Ren Yi squinted and looked out, dozens of residents armed with knives, guns and sticks were confronting them with angry eyes.
The crowd quickly parted, and a middle-aged man wearing ill-fitting body armor and a shotgun in his hand walked out and shouted to the two: "Don't move, stand still!" β
The man's voice was shaking, his eyes wide, and he was clearly forcing himself to move forward step by step.
"What's wrong!"
At this time, the door of He Ning's house at the end of the alley opened, and she rushed out with a knife in her hand.
ββ¦β¦ Lemon? The middle-aged man with a gun in both hands was stunned, completely forgetting the existence of Ren Yi and the others, and looked up at the other end of the alley in disbelief and said, "When are you coming back?" β
"Dad!" He Ning turned around and cried in surprise.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" He Ning immediately explained, "He is the dart master who sent me back, not a murderer!" It's thanks to him all the way, otherwise I don't know when I'll see you! β
"Huh? It turned out to be his own person, and he was offended a lot just now. He Ning's father immediately hugged his fists.
"Thank you so much for sending my baby back safely......"
"It's all gone." He Ning's father waved his hand, and the crowd around the alley quickly dispersed.
"I am He Ning's father, and I am the captain of the town's self-protection team. We're no bigger than the fortress city outside, and we're not armed, so we have to worry about it. The town has not been peaceful recently, so I organized people to secretly ambush every night, hoping to catch the murderer as soon as possible. β
Faxed, "You're looking for a murderer too?" β
"The poor monk came here yesterday to make a fortune, it is said that there is a tofu brain on this street that is particularly famous, and the poor monk has been thinking about it for a long time......"
"As a result, his house was closed, and it is said that the only daughter of the boss's family was brutally killed, and the boss was devastated, and the shop was closed forever."
"The poor monk was furious and decided to find out the murderer and avenge the boss's family."
The reason for this is so unusual......
"This eminent monk is a friend of mine." Ren Yi immediately explained.
Captain He said, "Since it's your own person, please come to my house to rest." It's not a matter for us to stand outside and talk, the murderer is cunning and unguardable, and if the news leaks, it will be even more difficult to arrest. β
He Ning led the way with a flashlight in front, Ren Yi took off his luggage, and the four of them quickly entered the living room of the He family.
The lights in the house suddenly brightened, and the sofa and coffee table in the living room were all available, Ren Yi couldn't help but be in a trance, and it was a little like the days when he was still in Lingzhou.
He has been wandering in the wilderness for a long time, and these days he has seen either villages or dilapidated outcasts, and he has not seen such a warm scene for a long time.
"Mom and little sister are alright, right?" He Ning said worriedly.
"It's okay, our family is lucky," Captain He said after making a pot of tea, "Alas, pity those dozen or so families, how will they live in the future." β
Ren Yi thought for a moment, "What kind of thing is it?" β
"I'm a dart game, and I've dealt with a lot of weird incidents."
Ren Yi gritted his teeth and simply said it, making money, not chilling.
"I'll tell you the truth, this matter is really something I can't solve, I can't sleep every night in the past few days, and I've lost a few pounds." Captain He sighed, "I really want to find someone to deal with it, but unfortunately I can't do without it here for a moment." β
"You sent my daughter back safely, and I am absolutely relieved of you. It's great that you're willing to help. β
Speaking of this, Captain He got up and left, and after a while, he brought a bulging brown paper bag.
"Here's some information about the victims."
After that, he untied the stitches on the paper bag, and with a bang, a blood-red and dazzling photo was scattered on the coffee table, which frightened He Ning and covered his mouth tightly.
"This is the first victim." Captain He picked through a stack of photos and took out a few and put them in front of Ren Yihe's fax.
The photo shows a very small and simple rental house, with bright clothes scattered all over the floor. A woman in a pink wig slumped on her back in the middle, printed tiles covered in bright red blood.
The woman's eyes were open, and she stayed on a pained expression. A bloody gash was cut in the middle of her glossy black slip dress, flipped in horror, staining the entire ground red.
The woman's internal organs were ripped out and thrown aside. Fax sighed and flipped the photo to the back.
"She was lying in the place where she entered the door, I have been to the scene, there is no trace of the door being pried open, she should have opened it on her own initiative." Captain He said.
"The knife edge is top-down, it should be a man from the height, and the knife is the fruit knife on her coffee table." Then he stood up and gestured with his hands in the air.
"It's all rented around here...... A woman who makes a living from that kind of business," Captain He scratched his head a little embarrassed at this, "So I guess it should be that the murderer either came in disguised as a guest, or someone she knew." β
After listening to the first murder, Ren Yi nodded: "What else?" β
"And there's also the matter of the breakfast shop owner and his daughter that the monk mentioned just now." Captain He looked at the fax and bent down to continue searching among the photos on the table.
"His daughter was dumped by her fiancΓ© two years ago, suffered from depression, and was still clamoring to become a monk for a while."
"I should be in love again this year, and I'm in a better mood. As a result, a week ago, he died tragically in the living room of his home. Captain He muttered as he searched.
"That's it." He squinted, shook the photos in his hand, and lined them up in front of Ren Yi's eyes.
"It was already twelve o'clock at night, and her parents were still busy preparing the next day's ingredients in the store, and they had no idea what was going on."
"My parents are busy with business, and I don't know much about my daughter's movements, but I know that she has been in a good mood recently, and I thought she was getting better."
"I should have been deceived again, the murderer pretended to be in love with her, and brutally killed people after she let down her guard." Captain He sighed and pointed to the woman in her pajamas lying in a pool of blood in the photo.
"She also opened the lock and invited someone into the house, and then the person used her kitchen knife to cut open her stomach, and the internal organs were ripped off and drained all over the ground."
The technique is the same...... Ren Yi compared the two pictures and pondered.
"What else?" Ren Yi asked.
"This is the third victim."
"This is a divorced woman who has a son who is in elementary school. She doesn't work very well, she has always wanted to find someone to take care of the children with her, and she has been busy with blind dates recently. Captain He rummaged around, and soon the photos were listed again, and it was obvious that she died in the same way as the above two.
"I should have met the murderer on a blind date." Captain He guessed.
"Well, this is a pregnant woman." Captain He pointed to another photo that happened to be spread out in front of everyone's eyes and said, "She and her husband had a big quarrel not long ago, and none of the neighbors on the streets didn't know." β
It is said that her husband has been doing business outside all the year round, and she has found someone else at home and has children. It turned out to be discovered, and things were ugly. β
"Hmm......" Fax looked at the photos on the table and touched his chin and sighed, "How handsome does this murderer have to be to seduce so many people with such different personalities, ages, and backgrounds at the same time?" β
"Isn't it easy to find a person who looks so outstanding? You don't have a prediction target? β
Captain He shook his head, "Maybe he is a person who is very good at flattering people." I've heard of this kind of case, and the prisoner doesn't have to be a handsome guy......"
Wait, Ren Yi stared at the fax, "You inspired me." β
There was a chill behind the fax, "The poor monk just came yesterday." β
Ren Yi interrupted with a wave of his hand, "I mean...... Is it possible that this is an ability? β
Fax was stunned, "Ability?" β
"The murderer doesn't have to know them well!"
"Just like you can be like someone else, why can't he? Or more simply, implant them with the idea of opening the door, and the murderer can easily enter their home! β
"Makes sense." Fax nodded, "But according to what you say, it's even harder to find, not even a direction, his target is likely to be randomly selected......"
"Absolutely not." Ren Yi waved his hand, "They have one thing in common - that is, their lives are very unsatisfactory!" β
"So, the murderer must be someone who knows something about them."
But another question immediately came to Ren Yi's mind......
There is no intersection between several of them, their identities and living environments are very different, how did they get targeted by the murderer?
"There's one more question." Captain He interrupted with a look of embarrassment.
"This ......," Captain He scratched his head, "and that's where things get tricky. β
"Maybe our measurements are not accurate, after all, we are not a city patrol department, and we don't have professional personnel and equipment."
"But according to our measurements, the height of the wound is really different......"
"The last murderer was at least 1.78 meters, but this one is less than 1.7 meters." Captain He said in frustration.
That is, these cases were not committed by the same person......
"It doesn't have to be an error." Ren Yi shook his head.
It is possible that this is the sacrifice of some evil organization, and there is indeed more than one member......
"In any case, these victims are definitely not chosen at random."
"Tomorrow morning, take us to the scene. The clues must be hidden in it! β
