Chapter 14: The Murderer Returns

The Internet has never been a place outside the law, and now that the whole country has been liberated, where can you hide? It's useless to hide behind a computer and be a keyboard warrior.

But it's really evil, someone dares to pretend to be the police to issue a clue collection reward announcement, and the publisher is still very familiar with the case, as if he was there in person, who could this person be?

The dead don't come back to life and sit in front of the computer and post, and if it's the murderer, it's too dramatic.

The announcement of the reward for the collection of clues displayed on the webpage was published on the Internet yesterday evening, and as of this evening, more than 100 people have come to the public security bureau to provide clues. It's just that the clues provided are basically chasing after the wind, and most of them are trivial things such as neighborhood conflicts, which do not help the case in any way.

Lin Zifan held a large stack of crooked records in both hands and walked into the serious crime team: "This group of people is really crazy, in order to receive the so-called bonus, they dare to come directly to the Public Security Bureau to provide them regardless of the truth or falsehood of the clues." ”

In a sense, the public security bureau is the same as a hospital, although it can give people a full sense of security, but no one really wants to go there. According to the recollection of the police officer in the lobby on the first floor, he has been working here for three years and has not encountered such a "lively" situation.

In the current office of the serious crime team, there are only two people, me and Lin Zifan, and I doubt that the others have heard that the task of recording is huge, so they deliberately hid out.

"Those who can work hard, who makes me outstanding!" That's all I can do to comfort myself.

The two of us carefully checked the more than 100 records in our hands, and our eyes were dazzled, but we still did not find any clues related to this case.

"How's the investigation by the Internet police?" I asked with a yawn.

"It's already being investigated, and if there is a situation, I will contact the serious crime team immediately." Lin Zifan said listlessly.

This case really consumed too much of our energy, but someone added this inexplicable amount of tasks to us.

After a while, Xue Hang, Li Meng, and Jiang Tingbai came back from eating in the cafeteria, Jiang Tingbai put the two meals brought back from the canteen on the table, and said, "You're welcome, I'm in for a treat." ”

"Excuse me, the cafeteria is free." I glared at him, picked out a meaty lunch box, opened it and ate it, I was really hungry.

Li Meng sat behind his desk, which was filled with desserts he had bought as he passed by the supermarket. I don't know what's wrong, she's been eating a lot lately, and her backpack is often full of snacks.

"Team Qin, the Internet police have sent a message from there, and the IP address of the poster has been found." Lin Zifan said to me.

Hearing the news, I choked on a mouthful of food in excitement and quickly inhaled it, hmm...... It's a bit salty.

"It's disgusting." Li Meng threw the fork in disgust and put away the remaining half of the cream cake.

Those who become big things are not informal, and I am full of smiles, not caring at all about Li Meng's disgusted gaze.

"Find the address and set off! Bring a few more people to the door to collect health fees, his grandmother's, disrupt public order, affect the police investigation, and detain him! ”

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, looking at the mountains of transcripts on the table, and I just wanted to fly to the door and arrest the poster immediately.

"Team Qin, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle." Lin Zifan looked at me with some hesitation.

"Arrest him!" I shouted that not detaining him for fifteen days would not calm my anger.

"The posting address is at Xie Lun's parents' house." Lin Zifan was silent for a while and said seriously.

"Arrest him! Wait...... You said the address was at Schellen's parents' house?! ”

I frowned, and there was a big puzzle on my face: "Could it be that this post was sent by Xie Lun's parents?" ”

Lin Zifan nodded and agreed with my thoughts: "It can basically be concluded that it was sent by Xie Lun's parents, probably because of the pain of losing a child, and his thoughts are a little off-track, so I made a reward in a hurry." ”

"As a parent, although it is understandable to do this kind of thing, but the publication of the details of the case and the modus operandi will cause serious consequences, first of all, it will let the murderer grasp the progress of the current police to solve the case, and secondly, it is very likely that there will be serious behaviors of others imitating the crime...... "I scratched my head, a little worried, this matter is really not easy to handle.

"Team Qin, what should I do about this matter?" Lin Zifan also ran out of ideas.

I waved my hand, I didn't want to do this kind of communication work, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control my emotions and quarrel with the other party.

"Leave this matter to your subordinates, inform them of the seriousness, and ask them to delete the post...... Let's write another guarantee. Alas, sad. ”

It's almost dark, and it's time to get off work again, but there is no distinction between going to work and getting off work, and if the case is not solved, it will never be able to get off work.

But then again, even if you live in the Serious Crime Unit, you won't make much progress on the case. I decided to go home and take a shower to calm my anger.

……

In the scorching summer, the whole city is like a huge steamer, putting everything in the world in it. Even in the middle of the night, you can still feel the aftermath of the scorching sun.

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the dense banyan forest, reflecting dappled shadows on the ground. The innumerable banyan trees and the shadows of the trees on the ground form an eerie picture, which is not a harmonious nocturnal landscape, because in the very center of the picture stands a young man, whose back looks extremely lonely under the bleak moonlight.

The banyan grove at midnight was quiet and frighteningly quiet, but at the same time very cool, and the teenager squatted and sometimes stood, drawing something on the soft earth beneath his feet with a twig in his hand.

At this time, I was hiding behind a tall banyan tree, and the shadow of the tree had completely swallowed my body.

This was an impermissible arrest and investigation, so I was alone. I silently watched the boy not far away, and when he made a move, I could rush out and arrest him red-handed.

Time passed minute by minute, I didn't make any sound, I didn't even dare to move my fingers, I waited for three years for this moment.

Soon, the boy stood up, dropped the branch in his hand, and nodded with great satisfaction with the painting on the ground.

In the moonlight, the pattern stands out, with simple lines outlining several interlocking circles, and a huge six-pointed star pattern running through them.

The boy took six candles out of his pocket and lit them at the corners of the six-pointed star.

The candlelight lit up to make the whole picture even more eerie, and the pattern even gave me the feeling of a religious altar.

I held a police pistol in both hands, opened the safe, and let out a faint crunch, and in such silence, the slightest sound could make my heart tremble. The boy seemed to hear the crunch as well, and he straightened up, not moving, still with his back to me.

At this time, the muzzle of the gun in my hand was already aimed at the young man, and I slowly walked out from behind the banyan tree. At a distance of ten meters, I was confident that a single shot would incapacitate him immediately. Because I want him to live, and I want more news from him.

10 meters ......

Seven Meters ......

Five-meter ......

The distance between us was getting closer, and the boy seemed to have known that I was here, and he didn't panic, didn't run away, didn't even turn to look at me.

"Ah Mu, you're here."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded, and my body shuddered violently at the sound of it.

"Who are you?" I asked, the muzzle of the gun never moving away from him.

The young man shook his head, let out a sigh, and slowly turned around: "Ah Mu, I haven't seen you for three years, don't you know me?" ”

"Ah Yun?!"

I never thought we'd meet again in this format. At this moment, there are no words to describe my feelings.

"Ah Yun, where have you been in the past three years? What's going on with this altar? ”

The other party was about to speak, when suddenly there was an eerie sound of music in the woods.

The music grew louder and louder, engulfing everything in front of him, and the figure of the boy gradually blurred in the candlelight. Soon, darkness returned to my eyes.

"Ah Yun!"

I screamed and opened my eyes hard, and the familiar ceiling was in front of me.

The phone next to the pillow kept making some sounds.

"Hello?"

"Team Qin, there was a murder case in Jingxiang."

The murderer did it again......
