Chapter 12: The Old Man Who Was Slain

How can it be!?

I couldn't believe it, and rushed into the ward, where a group of people were talking about something around the bed of the royal team.

I pulled a doctor and asked him about the specific situation, and he told me that the central nervous system was severely damaged due to a violent blow to the head with a blunt object, and that except for the existence of basic body functions such as instinctive breathing and metabolism, all other functions were almost lost, and the chance of waking up was very small.

Hearing this, I almost fell to the ground, and I almost knew who the murderer was, but the king team became a vegetative person at this time.

Such an important clue was cut off like this, and I suddenly felt that the case was getting more and more strange.

The black shadow that I have seen since the scene of the crime seems to have been around me, according to common sense, the murderer will usually hide himself after committing the crime, and will never be so rampant, and this time he even attacked the Wang team.

In the process of repeatedly appearing, the black shadow disguised himself very well, and until now, the police have not been able to obtain any clues about him, including his purpose, we have no way of knowing.

The only thing that can be known is that he usually shows up at twelve o'clock in the evening, although it is not known what his purpose is, at least we have a direction to start.

Wang Lianxiang is still noisy every night, and the hospital is also anxious, and has repeatedly complained to us.

I don't know when Wang Lianxiang went crazy from the hospital, and people began to spread rumors of "knocking on the head" in combination with the previous murder of Liu Guilan.

Some people say that there is a head-knocking ghost in Yangpu District, who specializes in knocking on the head of night walkers, saying that he was killed when he was alive, and now he has become a ghost and wants to come back to take revenge.

There is also a limerick poem among the children, "Knock on the head, knock on the head, and advise you not to walk at night".

For a while, the people were panicked, and they did not dare to go out after dark, and the team often received some police calls in the past two nights, saying that they saw a ghost with a hammer, but the team members rushed over but did not find anything.

The police had to stand up and refute the rumors, clarifying that this murder case was just a simple robbery and murder, and it was not a ghost, and there was no ghost in the world at all, I hope everyone will not be afraid, but the effect is minimal.

Even the police force began to talk about the head knocker, and I was a little scoffed at the fact that as a police officer, there were people who believed in such non-existent things.

The attack on Wang's team was quickly reported to the higher-level leaders, and the instructions from the higher-ups were issued for a long time, temporarily appointing me as the temporary acting squadron leader, assisted by Lao Zhang, and ordering me to arrest the murderer as soon as possible.

Sitting in my office, I lit a cigarette and watched the cigarette burn little by little, and the mystery lingered in my heart like smoke.

Liu Guilan's death seems to be a robbery and murder on the surface, but from a common sense point of view, Liu Guilan is a middle-aged woman with a weak ability to resist, if the murderer is just for robbery, it is easy to achieve the goal.

If it is for the purpose of seeking money, it is obvious that he will not give such a heavy hand, and the crime of homicide is undoubtedly much heavier than the crime of robbery, and the murderer will only put himself in a situation from which he will never recover.

So, it's not just a simple robbery and murder.

But judging from what the deceased's husband Xie Shouyi learned, it didn't look like an ordinary love killing.

If there is really any unclear relationship between Xie Dacheng and Liu Guilan, then the contradiction should also be between Wang Lianxiang and Liu Guilan, or between Xie Shouyi and Xie Dacheng.

At present, the biggest suspect is Xie Dacheng, which is where my doubts lie.

Wang Lianxiang, who had the greatest motive for killing, became a mentally ill person in the hospital at this time, while his husband Xie Dacheng had a lot of doubts.

Xie Dacheng, who I saw that night, made me conclude that he was inseparable from the black shadow, but his actions that night were not seen by anyone else except me, which I couldn't figure out.

Anyway, some of Xie Dacheng's strange behaviors, in my heart, I have included him in the key object of suspicion, and I have also sent someone to keep an eye on his home at any time.

At this time, a sudden call to the police completely broke my train of thought.

Towards evening, the phone of the police rang, and some people called the police to say that in the riverside park, an elderly couple had been killed, and the death was very tragic, and all their belongings were robbed.

I immediately led the team to the scene, and by this time the park was already surrounded by onlookers, and when they saw us coming, they all moved out of the way.

Xiao Zhang stretched the cordon and evacuated the crowd of onlookers.

When I approached the old man, the scene in front of me was simply shocking.

Next to the bench by the flower bed, there were two corpses, crookedly drooping, one hand still on the chair.

Like Liu Guilan, who died before, the back of the old woman's head, showing a wound caused by blunt percussion, has been deeply sunken in half.

The old man beside him was even more serious than the old woman, and his entire head was completely shattered, and he couldn't see it at all, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and the heart of the person who watched it trembled.

Some small policemen couldn't help it, and they were about to vomit on the spot, but because there were too many people at the scene, they endured it again.

A cool breeze came from the air, making it even colder, and I wrapped myself in my uniform and stared at everything in front of me.

Huang Na, who received the notice, also hurried over with a box at this time, and when she saw the scene in front of her, even her face changed slightly.

endured the discomfort, took the gloves handed over by Huang Na, and stepped forward to help her examine the corpse.

I carefully turned the body over and carried it to the stretcher, and the blood flowed down the stretcher to my hands, and I almost didn't even vomit on the spot.

Huang Na gave me a blank look, and turned her head down to examine the body.

The people around me were still pointing at something, and I told Xiao Luo to record the situation to the witnesses, and then turned around to pay attention to Huang Na's side.

After a while, Huang Na took off her mask and shook her head gently,

"Judging from the wounds, they are basically the same as Liu Guilan's wounds, so it can be judged that the murderer should be the same person."

I was a little stunned, in this way, isn't all the previous inferences wrong? In the past, the murderer would only appear at night, but this time it appeared in the daytime.

Xiao Luo ran over with the record book, saying that someone saw the direction of the murderer's escape, I was shocked and asked him to make it clear.

He said that a few people saw a man running east with a hammer, and they didn't react at first, but when they got closer, they found two old men lying in a pool of blood, so they quickly called the police.

I asked them if they could see the assailant's face, but they all said they didn't, only the back of an escaping man.

When I got up and looked, sure enough, the blood on the ground fell in the direction of the east, and then it stopped abruptly, it should be that the murderer also found the blood stains on the ground, and hid the hammer in his clothes and wrapped it.

After asking the witnesses about the specific direction and general appearance of the murderer's escape, he stretched out his finger and pointed, and I asked Xiao Luo to take them back to the police force to make a record, and immediately led someone to chase him.

The direction that the witnesses pointed to led to the construction site where Xie Dacheng was!
