Chapter 32: Red, White, and Blue in the Water Tower
This kind of old-fashioned water tower used to be very common in Nanjiang City, in order to store water and increase water pressure.
Most of them are concrete cylinders, more than ten meters high, and look like a fortress; There are also some funnel-shaped, torch-like ones that are relatively technological.
With the development of the times, the situation that five or six floors could not hold water has become a thing of the past, and this old water tower has gradually been abandoned and demolished.
The water tower in front of me is much shorter than usual, only about seven or eight meters high. The exterior with a sense of age cracked and mixed with mottled green moss, and the creeper wrapped around the rusty iron staircase, which had climbed halfway to the waist.
"Be careful, this staircase is in disrepair, I don't know if I can still step on it, why don't you let me go up and have a look."
Li Yuan said, and he couldn't help but take a step ahead, he had already seen some blackened blood stains under the simple iron staircase.
Those little girls must have never come to investigate, otherwise, they would not have thought of any script to fall into the water tower and be rescued, although this water tower is short, but eight meters is also three stories high.
As soon as a person falls, he will either die or be maimed.
The living must not go down, but it is the most convenient place for the dead to bury their bones.
Shen Ke didn't fight this time, on the contrary, she thought that the staircase, which was fixed on the wall of the water tower and made up of only a few simple steel bars, was very strong, because someone had already tried it for the police in advance.
She raised her phone and looked up, only to see a thick hemp rope hanging from the top of the water tower.
"The murderer is provoking us unscrupulously", Shen Ke said with certainty.
Li Yuan paused, didn't say anything, and continued to climb towards the top of the water tower.
His speed was very fast, like a gecko swimming against a wall, and soon he reached the top, the top of the water tower was open, the thick hemp rope hung down, and a smell of blood came from the surface, Li Yuan only felt that his blood was surging, and his heart was extremely angry.
Some people don't deserve to be human at all.
Li Yuan thought about it, lifted the hemp rope vigorously, felt the weight in his hand, and his heart became heavier and heavier.
"Shen Ke, fortunately, we didn't finish our meal tonight."
Li Yuan smiled and continued to mutter, "Although you have no expression, like a steel plate, I have a robot mind reading ability, and I know that you are thinking that if your legs are long enough, kick me down now." ”
"Be sure to drop a dog and eat, face down, so that this dog's mouth can be blocked by mud."
The rope had already reached the end, and two red, white and blue woven bags were lifted, and Li Yuan placed the woven bags on the edge of the water tower and rubbed his arm.
"I admit that you do have the ability to read minds," Shen Ke said coldly.
Li Yuan didn't care about arguing with Shen Ke, his face sank, and he quickly walked along the edge of the water tower towards the other side.
"! Dead perverted! There's a camera here! ”
Shen Ke couldn't see Li Yuan's figure, but he heard his voice coming from the top of the tower.
In the darkness, a red light flashed like the eyes of a demon.
Li Yuan grabbed it hard......
At the same time, in front of the computer, a man wearing a blue hood looked at the screen that began to shake and hooked the corners of his mouth. He snorted a few times, and then saw that the picture had stabilized again, and Li Yuan suddenly approached, and his huge face appeared on the screen.
Then, he pulled away again and raised his middle finger at the camera.
The man in front of the computer was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, are the current police officers so interesting?
He thought, switching the screen of the computer screen, and another static live broadcast screen appeared in front of him.
The man stretched, stood up, and seriously did the eighth set of broadcast gymnastics.
Then he put on a yellow head, and on top of it, stood an action camera.
After the warm-up exercise, the man laughed out loud, he picked up the sledgehammer against the corner of the wall, and looked at the computer, "Can you find me?" Fools from the task force. ”
The hammer was covered with chains, and it made a metallic cold sound when it was dragged to the ground, which was very harsh.
The man, as if he was accustomed to it, hummed a little tune, and walked out unhurriedly.
……
Li Yuan put the camera in his pocket, put down the two red, white and blue bags with the hemp rope he had tied before, and then climbed down the stairs and nodded at Shen Ke.
"It's all here. The killer has a camera and is waiting to see what kind of expression we will have when we find the body! What a sickness! ”
Li Yuan said, getting out of the way, and Yan Xiulin took a step forward.
He didn't know when he opened his suitcase, took out gloves and a mask from it, and put them on.
Sirens sounded from far and near, and reinforcements from the Force should have arrived soon.
Yan Xiulin opened one of the red, white and blue snakeskin pouches and frowned, "It should have been injured by a blunt object, such as a hammer or something." The skull is sunken and there are multiple fractures on the body...... The time of death was preliminarily judged to be around the early hours of the morning. ”
Shen Ke listened to Yan Xiulin's words, thinking back to the scene he saw in the processing plant, as well as the camera that had been turned off in Li Yuan's hand, and the picture in his mind appeared.
She seemed to see two girls covering their mouths with tears in their eyes in the dark factory and the like, and they were hiding everywhere, trying to find a way out.
The factory was nowhere to be seen, the smell of rust was everywhere, and the murderer dragged a sledgehammer back and forth inside, "Where are you?" I'm coming to you! If I find you, you'll die! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sledgehammer slammed down on the dilapidated machine, making a screeching sound, and the girls fled screaming like frightened rabbits......
But it didn't help......
"Hey, hey! Found you! ”
Shen Ke pursed his lips, looking at the dark processing plant, the red and blue flashing lights in the distance were getting closer and closer, Qi Huan didn't know when, he stepped out of the car, he leaned back against the parking space where Wang Yahan was, and didn't say a word.
Shen Ke retracted his thoughts.
"The murderer is a man, he has a lot of strength, the murder weapon used is a hammer, and he knows the arrangement of the four people about the water tower, so he should be an acquaintance among the four people. We were a step too late, and now we have found the bodies of Gao Han and Zhou Mengru. ”
"However, Yao Shanshan and Qian Tang should not be dead yet. The murderer installed a camera, so he should have been sitting in front of the computer all this time, monitoring the dynamics of our police. ”
"Now that the camera has been ripped off by Li Yuan, what will the murderer do next?"
Li Yuan listened, only to feel that the camera was hot, as if it was about to burn a hole in his palm.
"He will next kill Yao Shanshan and Qian Tang with a sledgehammer just like he killed Gao Han and Zhou Mengru."
"That's right!" Shen Ke nodded at Li Yuan, she raised her voice and walked towards Qi Huan, "Is there any abandoned place around here, a place that is relatively large and has many obstacles like a processing plant, so that the murderer can play a murder game similar to hide and seek!" ”
As soon as Shen Ke's words fell, Qi Huan and Yan Xiulin said in unison, "Yuanshui Village Primary School." ”
