December 10, 4:30 p.m.

For more than half a month, there have been no reports of injuries or suicides in the huge city A, and there are not even a few cases of petty theft.

Under the rain and fog, the whole city was strangely quiet, like a behemoth that was pretending to sleep, and it was silent and hovering between the plains, as if it would burst into a sharp roar at any moment......

As the hands of the police station clock pointed to 5 o'clock, the office area resounded with the sound of cleaning up one after another.

Tonight, the deputy chief invited guests to dinner, and many police officers left the office with a pinch, leaving only a few stars and not left.

Li Dongliao chewed gum in his mouth, stuffed his notebook into his computer bag and put it on his shoulder, and was about to withdraw.

Before leaving, he glanced at the time on the wall, and then looked at the innermost desk.

I saw a woman with long brown hair sitting at the innermost table, wearing a straight police uniform, frowning slightly, staring at the computer screen with a serious face, not knowing what she was busy with.

"What are you looking at?"

While talking, Li Dongliao had already teleported to the computer where Tan Wan was talking, and his head was drilling into the computer screen to see what she was busy with.

only glanced at it, and before his eyes could see the content on the screen, he was raised by Tan Wan and flicked his forehead, and the pain spread throughout his body in an instant.

The two have known each other for many years, and Li Dongliao didn't care about her, he covered his forehead with one hand, and dragged Tan Wan from the chair with the other hand with a roar: "Don't look at it, let's go, if you are late, you will have to find fault with us again!" ”

The deputy bureau is lively and often invites colleagues to gather in a private name.

The last time the two of them went to the bureau late, the old man of the deputy bureau was very small-minded, and he gave them a shocking case to embarrass the two of them, the original intention was to let the two of them suffer frustration and distress to relieve their anger.

didn't expect that Tan Wan was stunned to stumble on this case, and after tossing for three and a half months, the case was solved.

As soon as the director was happy, Ga Ga gave Tan Wan a promotion, and now the deputy bureau was even more unhappy, so today's bureau was born.

said that it was a bureau, more like a Hongmen banquet.

"Got it." Tan Wan couldn't see the expression on his face, and stuffed the computer into his bag.

Tonight it was pouring rain, the sky was dark and oppressive, and the humid breath in the air made it difficult to breathe and unpleasant.

Li Dongliao was responsible for driving the two to their destination, and seeing that it was too late, he used the navigation to choose a closer path.

With the update of the navigation system, soon, the car navigation led Li Dongliao into a small alley.

The alley is wide enough for one car, with houses on one side and a river on the other, without any railings on the river.

The co-pilot who sat on the night happened to be on the side of the river, and she looked at the dark river through the window, muttering in her heart.

"It's too dark...... she grumbled, subconsciously touching the peace charm around her neck.

This scene was seen by Li Dongliao, and he looked sideways at Tan Wan's neck: "Do you still have this peace charm with you?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a homeless man suddenly popping out of front of the side of the headlights, and ran out as if frightened, the man didn't look at the road at all, let alone Li Dongliao's car!

The incident happened suddenly, and seeing that he was about to crash into it, Tan Wan held the steering wheel and shouted: "Be careful!! ”

Almost subconsciously, Li Dongliao slammed on the brakes, and the car slid forward for more than half a meter, stopping with a sharp friction sound.

In the car, Li Dongliao's face turned pale, holding the steering wheel with both hands and holding his breath, his eyes staring at the road ahead before he could relax.

Tan Wan also had a frightened expression, but fortunately, when she observed in time, the homeless man was just taken aback, and sat on the ground with a puff and didn't hit it.

Both sides were frightened, and Li Dongliao was the first to ease his senses.

He rolled down the window and stuck his head out and scolded, "How do you walk!" Don't you want to die if you don't have long eyes?! ”

The homeless man seemed to be mute, with frightened eyes under his unkempt hair, and from time to time he looked in the direction he had come, babbling something as if there was something over there.

Strange behavior and looks.

At first, the two thought that the man was almost hit by a car, but later realized that it was not so simple.

"Something isn't right." With questions, he got out of the car in the rain.

She pulled the man up from the ground and was about to check the homeless man's body to see if he was injured, but the homeless man slapped his arm away in a panic.

He lowered his head and picked up the snakeskin bag beside him, ignoring the original lameness of his left foot, and fled with the snakeskin bag in his arms.

Li Dongliao, who was sitting in the car, was also stunned by the scene in front of him: "What's the situation, what the hell?" ”

At this time, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the ground was washed with a deafening sound.

Li Dongliao hurriedly took an umbrella from the back row, got out of the car and held an umbrella for Tan Wan: "This rain is too big, don't stand in the rain, get in the car!" ”

At this moment, Li Dongliao is facing Tan Wan to hold an umbrella for her.

I saw that her body was stiff and standing in place like wood, and her face was pale.

She slowly lifted her hand behind him, the cacophony of heavy rain almost drowning out her voice.

"What?" Li Dongliao leaned his ears closer, trying to hear more clearly.

This time I heard it clearly, what she said was: Call the police!

Li Dongliao turned his head abruptly and looked at Tan Wan's line of sight.

I saw something hanging in an extremely narrow alley, what seemed to be a humanoid thing......

As lightning fell from the sky, it illuminated what was in front of him.

Under the hemp rope hangs a naked man, his neck broken and crooked to the side, swaying slightly like a broken doll under the action of wind and rain, the picture is strange and terrifying......

The corners of the corpse's mouth rose slightly, like an eerie smile.

At this moment, the corpse's eyes were seriously bloodshot, and he was looking at Tan Wan and Li Dongliao with semi-bulging eyeballs.

The corpse was covered in scars and blood, and its hair was messy and fluttering in the wind, and the whole thing was dangling in the air, no different from a ghost hiding in the shadows to spy on the evil laughter of the living......

Li Dongliao was suddenly frightened, and blurted out, "Ahhh ————”

(Half an hour later, the police car arrived)

It was Lao Zhang, who got out of the car who did the autopsy in the bureau, and he was shocked when he saw the corpse.

It is no wonder that in addition to the broken neck, the victim was stabbed with a knife all over his body.

The flesh from the wound was so visible that even the intestines could be seen, and blood and unknown fluid flowed all over the body.......

It can be imagined how vicious the murderer was.

Lao Zhang was wearing a poncho and shouted in the heavy rain to talk about the night: "Team Tan, it's raining too much here, the corpse can't be soaked in water anymore, you have to bring the corpse back to the bureau." ”

Tan Wan nodded: "The nature of this case is bad, we have to grasp the case information quickly, go back and work overtime, I will wait for your autopsy report." ”

Lao Zhang nodded solemnly and looked at the corpse that was placed on the ground: "Yes, this is my job." ”
