Chapter 20: The Box and the Avatar

At this moment, Lu Ming has no hard evidence to prove that Wang Quan is the murderer who created these hundreds of abnormal suicides.

Primary school education, single, ugly appearance, eccentric personality, suspected of abnormal mental health, living on stall income, can't understand sketching?

Well, it's a little weird, but it's not a crime either, right? People just like to sketch, they can sketch, they see a beautiful girl during the day, and they draw a picture at night, although the motive is suspicious, and there is a slight suspicion of immorality, but there is no law that does not allow it, right?

There is no evidence that this is not normal.

But now we can't wait.

There are already too many faint clues pointing to the fact that this is Wang Quan's way of killing.

Compared to the potentially huge risk, Lu Ming would rather take a risk.

"Yes!"

Nanlin Street, the surrounding of Wang Quan's small courtyard is quiet.

Not far from it, Nanlin Street is still bustling with traffic. Although the evening rush hour has passed, the restaurant is still full of diners. Pedestrians on the street are talking, laughing, and walking, full of a sense of leisure.

At this time, a team of heavily armed soldiers, led by He Wei, jumped out of a minibus hidden next to them and quickly headed towards Wang's family. In addition, there are many plainclothes security guards who faintly surround this area.

As soon as necessary, they can begin to evacuate the crowd.

In the monitoring room, Zhang Dingshan sent a notice to the nearest garrison unit to Blue Lake City. In the middle of the night, with a piercing siren, many soldiers who had already fallen asleep woke up one after another, and in less than five minutes, they had completed the emergency assembly and were ready for battle.

If necessary, they can jump into battle and tear any enemy apart with a torrent of steel.

This vast net began to tighten quietly. Under the quiet night, a solemn aura is quietly spreading.

Lu Ming quietly clenched his fists.

Although he had made almost all preparations, took out the most cautious attitude and the most powerful power, Lu Ming was still a little nervous in the face of this kind of event that might involve supernatural forces.

No one knows what they will have to face next.

While paying attention to the movements of He Wei and the garrison, Lu Ming checked Wang Quan's movements through the monitoring.

Through the high-performance camera, he saw that Wang Quan seemed to have stopped sketching at this moment.

In front of the table, which was full of clutter and greasy, Wang Quan picked up the portrait and looked at it.

On it, the portrait of the spicy woman is lifelike and very realistic.

"With this craft, you can open a painting stall and paint portraits to make a lot of money, and what kind of chestnut cakes do you sell......?"

A thought flashed through Lu Ming's mind.

At this moment, He Wei had already led the team to rush outside Wang's family. She did not break into Wang Quan's house directly, but came to the back of Wang Quan's house.

There, there is a hole that has been prepared in advance.

He Wei took out a spray gun, directly stuffed the muzzle of the gun, and began to spray a high concentration of anesthetic gas.

Try anesthesia first. If anesthesia doesn't work, just shoot the anesthetic gun. If it doesn't work, just come hard and rush in directly to solve it by force. If there is an accident, many security officers outside immediately go up to help. If the situation is no longer under control, the garrison will be dispatched immediately!

According to the different situations that may occur in the future, He Wei has formulated several action plans. These action plans are upgraded from small to large, and I believe that there is always one suitable for this action.

At this moment, in the surveillance screen, Lu Ming saw Wang Quan looking at the portrait in his hand for a moment, and seemed to be very satisfied, and nodded slightly. Then he stood up and walked to the side of the house.

In the process, he yawned unconsciously, and seemed to feel a little sleepy.

Lu Ming knew that the anesthetic gas should have taken effect. It's just that the gas concentration in the room is not enough to make him unconscious.

Next to the greasy table, a few meters away was a shrine. There is a somewhat strange appearance enshrined in it, and it is impossible to tell which god it is. There is also an incense burner in front of the idol with sand and incense ashes inside.

Wang Quan's footsteps were a little slow to the front of the shrine, and he raised the paper with both hands to draw the hot girl, and then knelt down heavily.

"Some kind of evil ritual? Holding a piece of paper with a portrait of a person and offering sacrifices to the idol can make the person commit suicide? ”

A thought quickly flashed through Lu Ming's mind.

In any case, this possibility is there, and it is too large to ignore.

And now, Wang Quan's sacrifice seems to have begun. But the concentration of the anesthetic gas still does not seem to be enough.

Can't take any chances. Can't wait any longer.

Lu Ming looked at Zhang Dingshan a little anxiously. Zhang Dingshan suddenly shouted: "He Wei, don't wait any longer, rush in and arrest people immediately!" Sniper ready, ready to snipe! ”

"Yes!"

He Wei immediately stood up and led several soldiers to rush out of the wall in a few steps. turned over, He Wei turned in, and rushed directly into the room with a firearm.

Perhaps because the anesthetic gas had played a little role after all, Wang Quan did not react to the movement in the courtyard at all. He was still kneeling in front of the shrine, holding the A4 piece of paper aloft in his hand.

After a few moments, he finally had a move. He reached out and took something from the table in front of the shrine.

Lu Ming couldn't see what that thing was. It's too tiny. After looking closely, I finally saw that it was a sewing needle.

Very ordinary sewing needle.

He was trembling, and his body seemed to be very tired. But he still took the sewing needle and stabbed it at the paper with the hot girl on it.

Lu Ming's heart was raised to his throat.

At this time, He Wei kicked open the door, and at the same time shouted: "Don't move!" ”

Lu Ming was even more worried in his heart, so nervous that his breathing was a little unsmooth.

It's very likely that some kind of supernatural force is involved here! Just break into it like this, and God knows what kind of risk it will face!

Zhang Dingshan also stared at the surveillance screen with a solemn expression.

Communication with the sniper is already on. As soon as the situation is bad, the sniper order will be given immediately, and the sniper will immediately shoot.

But......

The situation has developed beyond all expectations.

Lu Ming saw that Wang Quan, who was kneeling on the ground, turned his head a little slowly, and looked at He Wei who suddenly broke in - his eyes were a little misty, as if he was forcibly awakened in a deep sleep, and he was not fully awake, his lips moved twice, as if he wanted to say something, or scream, but he didn't say anything in the end.

He went straight to the limp, and he fell. The eyes are also closed at the same time.

The paper and the sewing needle in his hand also fell to the ground.

He didn't have time to prick the needle after all.

Behind He Wei, many warriors also poured in at the same time. There were at least twenty warriors standing in the small courtyard. There's more beyond the compound.

"Don't act rashly!"

He Wei roared lowly, and many warriors were awe-inspiring.

After that, she cautiously took a few steps forward, carefully taking care not to touch anything in Wang Quan's room, and came to Wang Quan, who had fallen to the ground.

She squatted down and carefully checked Wang Quan's state.

"He's unconscious."

"Take it away!"

As soon as He Wei gave the order, several soldiers who had already put on a full set of protective clothing in the courtyard came in, lifted Wang Quan, and put on a full-body protective suit for him. After that, he put on a stretcher and quickly carried it away.

"Report to Command. Hospital wards are ready. ”

"Good. Immediately send Wang Quan to the hospital for a full body examination! He Wei, lead the team to search Wang's family! ”

The operation looks going well so far.

Wang Quan was anesthetized, and his side was already in control of the situation. All subsequent preparations do not seem to have been used.

But Lu Ming's heart was still full of worries.

Will it really go this way? A person who is suspected of possessing supernatural powers was really captured by his own side so easily?

He couldn't believe it.

At this moment, the alert has not been lifted. Everyone is still on full alert. Even the garrison was the same.

The search for Wang's family began immediately.

This ordinary, cluttered little courtyard ushered in the most thorough search and cleaning since it was built.

Every little piece of debris, no matter how ordinary it may seem, whether it is a button or a piece of shredded paper, whether it is a bag or an apple, is treated with unprecedented care, and it is all sealed and numbered in an exhibit bag, and then transported away by a special vehicle.

In particular, the paper with the spicy girl, the sewing needle, the pencil that outlined the portrait, the table that carried the paper, and the shrine and the idol were treated with extreme care.

Each of them has a dedicated vacuum box for each of them, and is transported and guarded by heavily armed guards.

During this search, the room where Wang Quan was located was almost completely emptied.

This is not the end. After this room is emptied, there is a second room. In this courtyard where Wang Quan is located, no corner will be spared.

While searching the second room, a wooden chest caught people's attention.

It is placed in an easily accessible place next to the doorway, with the opening facing outward. This seems to indicate that it is often used by Wang Quan.

He Wei, who was wearing an isolation suit, stepped forward and took a look, and saw that it was not locked. So I just opened it.

Lu Ming also saw the contents of the box at the same time.

To his surprise, the box was full of A4 paper. One by one, thick stacks, I'm afraid there must be hundreds, or even thousands.

The first one shows the head of a young man wearing glasses.

Lu Ming glanced at it, and inexplicably felt a little familiar. One more look, he immediately reacted.

This is about ten days ago, the latest person who died in an abnormal suicide!

He is a college student, a somewhat introverted person, but he has good grades and a girlfriend who has been talking for several years. There are no big surprises in his life, but there are no setbacks either, and it has been peaceful.

But about ten days ago, he committed suicide! He bought an overdose of sleeping pills and took them in a wooded area on the outskirts. By the time the body was found, his face had been bitten by wild cats and wild dogs.

At the sight of the body, his parents fainted on the spot. His girlfriend had a nervous breakdown on the spot.

Now, his avatar appears in a box with a person who has nothing to do with him, who has no dealings!

In the picture, before the box, He Wei's body also stiffened suddenly.

Obviously, she also remembered something.

There was a slight tremor in her arm. She picked up the paper with the portrait of the male college student and approached it to the helmet camera. So Lu Ming saw that there was a small pinhole on the forehead of the male college student's avatar.

Lu Ming's hands clenched into fists.

Carefully placing the portrait in the evidence bag, He Wei looked at the next portrait.

It was the head of a middle-aged and elderly man with a sad look and a wrinkled face. As in the first portrait, he also has a small pinhole in his forehead.

The third one also has pinholes. Fourth, fifth......

Each avatar has a pinhole in the forehead.

Lu Ming also recognized in turn that the people in the second portrait and the third portrait were both victims of the recent abnormal suicide. The fourth portrait Lu Ming doesn't know, but based on the situation at the moment, it is speculated that he is most likely also a suicide victim.

It's just that it may be because he happened to encounter some misfortune in his life, which caused his suicide to have some rationality, so he was not screened out by his own side and was not included in the list of abnormal suicides.

Zhang Dingshan called a security officer and whispered a few words. Immediately, the fourth portrait was printed, and the vigilante hurried away with the portrait to verify it.

He Wei only looked at the first few photos carefully, and then did not look at them one by one. She put the sketches in the evidence bag one by one, and when she grabbed a stack of portraits, the next one made her stunned again.

There was a young man up there. A very handsome and sunny young man, who has a sense of justice at first glance.

Lu Ming also recognized him.

His name is Zeng Jian, a former vigilante who was in charge of investigating the case, but eventually became the victim of an unnatural suicide.

Feng Guozhu was haunted by this, and he couldn't let go of it until now.

With a light sigh, He Wei also included Zeng Jian's portrait in the evidence bag. Later, after taking another stack, a very familiar avatar came into her eyes.

The paper was a little old, like it was some years old. But the avatar was still so clear that she could recognize it at a glance.

It was a young woman, not too beautiful, but she had a youthful and energetic atmosphere, like a little girl next door who was full of beautiful yearning for life, which made people feel that the world was very beautiful at a glance.

Lu Ming was silent again.

He knew exactly who it was. At the beginning, it was this person's suicide that made Feng Guozhu aware of the abnormality and began to investigate the matter. It's just that there has been no clue.

The young woman's name was Zhang Lu.
