Chapter 43: The Wind and the Moon (1)
The Wind and the Moon (1)
California in the United States is also known as the Golden State, because during the period of wilderness, countless dart fighters mined gold here, they used this gold as wealth, quickly completed the primitive accumulation of capital, and quickly made a fortune, leaping to the name of the rich men, in order to commemorate this history, they love to call California "a place built of gold".
Today, the Golden State is one of the most prosperous administrative states in the United States, and its largest coastal port, San Francisco, has taken advantage of its geographical location and has grown rapidly to become one of the largest cities in the world.
"It's hard to see the night here, because they're dispelled by the lights."
San Francisco time, 3:30 a.m
The largest bar in the South East District. Jazz Room
The blonde walked through the door dressed in a close-fitting black outfit, she wasn't on a mission, she was just pursuing fashion, and by the way, she wanted to catch a few men as Kaizi and squeeze out their bank cards.
Obviously, her purpose had already been achieved, and as soon as she entered the door, most of her wheat-colored skin was exposed to the public, attracting the attention of many people of the opposite sex, and with the deafening rock and the smell of steaming alcohol on the dance floor, many men were already dancing at her.
Everywhere she went, it was like a pot had exploded, and the men were crowded, touching her shoulder as if they didn't care, and then saying "I'm sorry" with a guilty look.
The blonde smiled back, replied, "It's okay," and sat in the corner of the bar, sitting quietly, as if something was on her mind.
Alone, combined with her good looks and scantily clad clothes, she became the center of attention in the bar as soon as she appeared, and even men with female companions would occasionally glance at the two long legs that were smooth to reflective.
The hearts of the males are agitated by hormones, and some people are already a little impatient, but because they don't know what she is about, they are afraid of getting into trouble, so they just stand there and watch secretly.
In the end, someone still overcame reason with impulse, walked to the bar with a glass of wine, sat down next to the girl, and asked politely:
"Miss, may I invite you for a drink?"
"Absolutely." The blonde smiled lightly and asked the bartender for a drink, and the glass collided slightly, and the man looked at her figure as he spared no effort to admire her good figure.
From the man's head to the tail, to see if there is any valuable guy on his body, the result is disappointing, this is just an ordinary person with a swollen face and a fat man, even the Rolex watch is fake, the girl has worked as an appraiser before, and she can tell the real from the fake at a glance of these things.
Even so, she has been in a state of smiling and chatting with men, and it is not obvious that she will be treated differently because of the wealth of her appearance, otherwise many prey will be wary.
"It's a great conversation tonight, it's not too early, I want to get out of here, why don't we talk in another place?" Seeing that the two were chatting quite heartily, the man's heart moved, and he suggested.
"No, I still like to stay here." The blonde politely refused, took out and smiled: "Since you are leaving, then leave a phone number, and you can contact you later." ”
The man was slightly disappointed, but the words were out, and he couldn't lick his face and continue to sit here, otherwise his intentions would be too obvious.
Anyway, it's already quite good to talk about it this time, and next time there is a chance, the man comforted himself, reported a series of numbers, watched the girl's fingers press on the phone, smiled and waved: "Just call me Renard, see you next time." ”
"Goodbye." The woman smiled and waved her hand, and when she saw the man walking out of the door of the bar, she secretly sighed in her heart, deleted the series of random graffiti on the mobile phone screen, and shook her head.
You can't be in a hurry, you have to smile like this all the time, sooner or later a prey that meets the standard will come and talk, the woman admonished herself.
......
The seat next to it was empty and empty, people came and went, it was already dark, and the blonde didn't find a suitable target tonight.
It's not that I haven't found it, there is a little old man who looks like he has a little money, but his appearance is too sloppy, and those cunning little eyes have been thinking about something, whether such a man can spend money on himself is unknown, and the blonde is not willing to gamble with herself.
"Damn, not only did I get nothing, but I wasted a night's worth of drinks." The woman cursed secretly, the carefully matched makeup had fallen off a little, and after chatting all night, her nerves were on the verge of collapse.
Most of the people in the bar have left, and the rest of the people are almost drunk and can't walk, popcorn and melon seeds are all over the ground, the smell of sweat and alcohol is mixed together, some choke, it looks like there should be no chance.
The blonde knocked down the glass with half a glass left, and the glass gurgled and spilled everywhere, but she didn't care at all, and lay down on the bar in spite of her image, cursing quietly.
At this moment, the sound of wind chimes sounded with her footsteps, like the sound of a clear spring, and the blonde raised her head, for some reason, she felt that the sound was very pleasant, not only her, but everyone around raised their heads, even the drunkards who had fallen asleep, looking at the figure that walked in at the door.
Tall, thin, the blonde could only think of these two words to describe the man, he looked extremely weak, but with the blessing of the trench coat, he was like a member of the royal family, and he was educated in the relevant etiquette at first glance.
The man walked up to the stunned waiter at the bar and threw down a small stack of green bills, his voice was magnetic:
"Feel free to fetch me two glasses of bar, one for me, and one for this beautiful woman next to me who seems to have something on her mind, Rose is so beautiful, it would be a pity if it withered, you say yes, beautiful young lady."
The blonde saw the man's smile and forgot all her grievances for a while.
......
early morning
"The deceased's appearance is extremely miserable, and his body is divided into more than 30 pieces. Details of the deceased have not yet been obtained. No, I can't hold on anymore. The deputy chief of the San Francisco Police Department watched the tragic situation at the scene, did not recover for a long time, vomited while making a verbal record, and rushed out of the small toilet cubicle.
"It looks like the scene must have been quite tragic." The policemen on call outside communicated in a low voice, their deputy director had gone through so many years of ups and downs, and he had seen a lot of cases, but it was the first time he showed this expression.
"Hey, I heard from a forensic friend that it looked like a serial murder, and he was pretty sure when he saw a picture of the deceased before he even looked at the scene."
"Why?"
"Within a week, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago had committed three cases that looked exactly the same, with the same goals, methods, and even locations."
"Elaborate."
"It all happened in the bar, and the people who were attacked were all beautiful women, and the deaths were extremely tragic, as if they had been divided into a lot of corpses. The murderer did not dissect the corpse to destroy it, he just stacked the pieces of the corpse on top of each other, as if he was simply venting his anger. ”
"Isn't this a perverted murderer? In other words, our last perverted murderer in San Francisco seems to have been personally caught by the deputy director. ”
“.......“
"What are you all talking about? I asked you to gather early in the morning so you could chat here? The deputy director, who had finished vomiting, was furious when he saw everyone talking to each other, although a large part of the reason was that his ugliness was seen by his subordinates.
The toilet door was pushed open, and three forensic doctors walked out, their faces covered by medical masks, so it was impossible to see what was written on their faces, but what was certain was that the situation at the scene seemed to be very unoptimistic, because the person in charge was shaking his head lightly and whispering something to the deputy director.
"Aren't there any fingerprints, fingerprints, or even footprints?" The deputy director twisted his brows, a little surprised, it stands to reason that those who will usually divide the body of the target have great hatred for the deceased, otherwise it is impossible to do this kind of thing that anyone will physically dislike.
In such a situation, the murderer can still keep his mind calm and erase all the marks?
The deputy director was not reconciled and continued to ask: "What about the doors and windows of the toilet?" ”
"I took a look by the way, the doors and windows were sealed, and the glue should have solidified a few weeks ago, and there was no sign of destruction at all." The forensic doctor shook his head: "The size of the ventilation duct is also too narrow, not to mention adult men, I'm afraid only newborn babies can crawl out of it." ”
"So, the man swaggered out of the door after the body was divided?" The deputy director was a little unconvinced, for the first time in so many years, he had seen such an arrogant criminal, who had dismembered people and erased all traces of his existence, and then left through the most obvious passage.
"What about the surveillance footage? Don't tell me it's broken, it's not a TV series. ”
"This can rest assured that the surveillance video is not bad." The policeman on the side took over the conversation, a little hesitant: "But it's ....."
"But what? Is he hiding his appearance, or is there too many people? "The deputy director's mood has been extremely bad, and he has two years to retire, and it is really unlucky that this kind of thing will happen in the territory under his jurisdiction.
"No one else entered the house." A trace of horror flashed in the policeman's eyes, although he didn't believe it, but this was his eyes red after watching the video dozens of times, and he called the two of them to count them one by one.
"No one else?" The deputy director's anger erupted like a volcano: "Are you trying to tell me that this blonde woman dismembered herself by herself?" ”
"It sounds unbelievable, but, Director, that's what we've come to the conclusion." The policeman who reported to work said that he had fallen into bad luck, and it was his turn to be on duty today, and if he had been a few hours earlier, he might not have to face this deputy director who had taken gunpowder.
He wisely omitted the word 'deputy', but he still didn't escape a scolding.
"Fart, you seem to be trying to make me agree that there are youkai in this world." The deputy director's already small gray hair stood up one by one, like a polar bear that had only been electrocuted.
"But ......"
"But what, hurry up and arrange for everyone to investigate every corner, and no trace can be missed. Bring me the footage over and I'll see for myself what's going on. The deputy director pulled a chair and sat down, and ordered: "You can't give up a corner, the murderer must have left some traces." ”
"I don't think there's any need for that."
The sound of wind chimes sounded, but it was accompanied by an extremely hoarse voice, if I had to describe it, it was like an old air conditioner that had been used for thirty years and was trying to exhale.
The deputy director turned his head and saw a black suit walking in, with a small cart on it that resembled a ventilator.
Is this human...... The deputy director was suspicious in his heart when he saw the black mask, but then reacted, he should be playing cool, so he took out his long-standing majesty and patted the table:
"Idlers and others are not allowed to enter, can't you see, something happened here, and there is no seal erected outside?"
"Stand." The man replied silently.
"If you know it, you won't get out?" The deputy director slapped the table again.
"It's up to you to leave." Schneider silently threw the document bag in his hand in front of the deputy director, who frowned, opened it, and was shocked to see the familiar flower-style signature inside. ”
"It's ...... The governor's order? The deputy director asked in a low voice, and looked back at the surroundings by the way, remembering the scene he saw in the toilet just now, and felt a chill in his heart.
There is something wrong with this scene, he also led someone to catch a serial murderer back then, but that person was already a little nervous in the end, and he would even cut himself when he went under the knife, but he kept acting on instinct.
But now, the murderer is like some kind of strict executioner, every knife is neatly fired, even if he has killed several people.
"You can't handle this matter, so hand it over to us."
The deputy director was still a little skeptical, but after seeing the phone in his hand light up, he muttered a few words after connecting it, and immediately put on a respectful attitude, nodded at Schneider, took out a cigarette and handed it over:
"I don't know which department Brother Tai belongs to, get acquainted, and maybe I can help in the future."
"Two minutes." Schneider took the cigarette, refused to light it, and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"Two minutes?" The deputy director searched for his memories, but still couldn't find any department nicknamed Two Minutes.
"I mean, you and your people disappeared in front of me in two minutes, and now you have a minute and thirty-two seconds left." Schneider glanced at his watch, his expression was indifferent,
The deputy chief's irritable roar rang out instantly, and no matter how loud the bar was, it couldn't avoid the sound from reaching the ears of every policeman.
"Hurry up, grab your things, and retreat directly."
All the police officers, samplers, and forensic doctors who had just rested left the gate without stopping, and at the same time, all black trench coats passed by them.
"Are they FBI?" The officers were amazed at how well trained, even in the military.
"Don't ask too much, it's a blessing in misfortune that such a tricky case hasn't been thoroughly investigated by us."
The deputy director walked out of the bar door and took a deep breath of air after scolding his noisy subordinates.
It was the first time he felt so sweet in the air.
Two black trench coats stood guard outside the bar, shutting the door tightly.
