Chapter 33: The Truth (2)
The murderer is the man in the mask.
But now that he has taken off his mask, it is no longer good to call him a "mask man".
So it is an indisputable fact that a murderer is a murderer.
Tang Lu continued to analyze, and he could only delay as much time as possible.
Although he didn't know what to do next.
"You killed six people one after another, including the middle-aged woman, Xiaolu, the security guard and the stand-in just now, all of whom were cut by you with a knife, and even the dagger you shot at me in the dark was trying to cut my throat. Therefore, cutting people's throats is your usual way of killing people, and it is also the method you are most familiar with.
But among the six deceased, there are two exceptions, one is Mr. Ke, who was stabbed to death by you five times. I can understand this, Mr. Ke's words are indeed too much, and he is really a little annoying, and you set up this killing game today, originally for him, of course, you have to stab a few more knives to relieve your hatred.
And the other is the hotel waiter who was stabbed to death with a dagger, and this is exactly where the problem lies. At that time, Mr. Ke ruled out the possibility that you were a murderer, because when the lights went out for the second time, you kept scuffling with the security guards, and there was no chance to kill at all.
But that's not the case, you have a chance!
Just like the dagger you shot at me in the dark just now, it is enough to prove that you still have the ability to kill people with throwing knives. So while you and the security guard are scuffling, you shoot a dagger in the air and plunge it into the waiter's chest, which is why the waiter's fatal injuries are different from others. Because you weren't sure enough to cut your throat with a throwing knife at that time, you chose a more secure flying knife to pierce your heart!"
When the murderer in the dining car heard this, he finally spoke again:
"Is that enough?"
The murderer was obviously a little impatient, and the fierce light in his eyes was even stronger.
Tang Yi immediately stopped his analysis and asked rhetorically:
"Isn't it time for you to tell me what your motive is?"
"......" murderer.
"Someone once said that every exquisite kill is actually a beautiful work of art. Since it is a work of art, it should not be hidden, it should be taken out for people to enjoy, otherwise wouldn't it be a pity?"
"......" murderer.
"You killed so many people, it wasn't just a personal hobby, right? I'm sure behind all this, there must be a compelling reason, and even a sad story. Tang Yi began to play the emotional card.
As long as the time can be delayed long enough, the more likely it is that the malfunctioning elevator will be discovered, and the more likely it is that the killer will be prevented from escaping.
This is the only way Tang Lu can think of at the moment.
As a person who was scarred and had difficulty even standing up, Tang Lu no longer had the strength to fight the murderer with force.
The murderer suddenly sighed.
"Actually, my motivation is simple. It's going to stink this hotel, and even bring it down!"
The murderer took the bait and began to explain. The voice is still very calm:
"In the past two months, I have killed five people in this Nantang Binhu Hotel. Four of them were hotel employees, all of whom I had slit their throats with a dagger.
I thought that killing four people in a row would be enough to make things bigger and shut down the hotel. But what I didn't expect was that in order not to affect the business, several bosses behind the scenes of the hotel actually settled the matter and reached an agreement with the families of the killed employees to lose money privately, and did not report the case at all. Four employees were killed, and in the end, the death of only one cleaner was accidentally exposed by the media, and the hotel owner sent money in time to make points, and the cleaner I killed was said to be a sudden heart attack, which became a trivial accident.
So I finally understood that in order to make things bigger, it was not enough to just kill the staff in the hotel. Not long after, I sneaked into the hotel and slit the throat of an out-of-town guest with a dagger.
But as you know, the guest I killed was a suicide by jumping off a building because of the hotel's money. And the family of the deceased took the hush money and did not dare to say more.
So I killed five people in succession, and in the end the hotel was still open as usual, and business was still booming, and even I was a little confused.
Who knows that there is no endless road, just when I was hesitant and helpless, I suddenly saw the article posted by Professor Ke on the official account, and I actually insisted that there was something strange about the murder in the Nantang Binhu Hotel. Although the content is all nonsense, saying what kind of 'grimace killing' is, it has also received more than 3,000 views.
So I completely figured it out, if I want to make things big and bring down the hotel, I still have to go through the media, and I have to do it against the media!
It just so happened that Professor Ke didn't know what nerves he had, so he actually stayed in this hotel himself. I immediately thought that if this Professor Ke also died in the hotel, coupled with the article he posted on the official account before, wouldn't the matter be completely big, and I couldn't hide it if I wanted to?
So I spent two days going in and out of the hotel many times as an elevator worker, fire inspector and property owner, and specially customized this scene in the elevator for him today.
As for the specifics of it, there is not much to say. This Professor Ke is worthy of making up suspenseful reasoning stories, except for not guessing who is the real murderer in the elevator, everything else is basically right by him. ”
The murderer's words have been spoken.
"You don't seem to have gotten to the point, why are you destroying this hotel?" Tang Lu hurriedly asked.
"Why should I bring down this hotel?
Hehe!
Actually, I don't know.
If you want to blame it, you can only blame it for being unlucky......"
The murderer actually sighed again, but after all, he still said the reason:
"When I was very young, there was no Nantang Binhu Hotel here, it was Zhaojiaxiang where I was born. Later, the city planned that the developer wanted to develop our Zhaojia Village, so my house became the object of demolition.
Do you think demolition means getting rich?
At that time, the developer negotiated with the village cadres and gave our family a house of the same size, which was not yet built in a more remote suburban location, and could not be handed over until 3 years later. In addition, the only compensation is an additional subsidy of 50 yuan per square meter.
At that time, my house had just been renovated, and I still owed 20,000 yuan in renovation fees, so of course I was not satisfied with this compensation plan, so my parents rejected the developer and the village cadres.
Don't get me wrong, my parents don't want to be a nail household, they just want to ask for a little more compensation, at least an additional subsidy of 100 yuan per square meter. If the subsidy standard of 50 yuan is followed, the family will really not be able to open the pot.
Who knew that a few days later, what we were waiting for was not the developer's price increase, but a group of bullies with machetes. These people rushed into my house without saying a word, hacked my parents to death on the spot, and then led people to forcibly demolish our house.
There's nothing to say about the rest of the matter, I didn't die, I went to the grassland, slowly learned some skills, and did some trading. Until one day half a year ago, I suddenly figured it out and decided to come back for revenge.
It's a pity that after many years, things have long been wrong. The developers, village cadres and bullies of the year either made money and went abroad, or they were promoted and transferred elsewhere. In the end, I didn't find any enemies.
The only thing left for me is this Nantang Binhu Hotel, which was built on the site of my house......
Tell me, what else can I do but stink and bring down this hotel?"
"......" Tang Xuan.
This is indeed a tragic story, but it does not mean that it can be used as a reason for him to kill indiscriminately!
"Even if you want to take revenge, you should go to the people who ruined your family?
Tang Xi's sympathy has gradually turned into anger, and he continues to question:
"Is it possible to take revenge on the whole society just because of your own personal vendetta?"
"Revenge on society?" the murderer laughed.
He smiled calmly. In the depths of his eyes, there was a hint of helplessness:
"When my family was ruined, when I was abducted and trafficked to the grassland, where was the society?"
"......" Tang Lu was speechless.
It is clear that this is already an anti-human, anti-social cold-blooded killer who is completely unable to communicate.
It was the society itself that gave birth to him.
Tang Yi still wanted to continue to delay time, but the murderer obviously didn't want to delay anymore.
"Goodbye...... No, it should be goodbye!"
The killer in the dining car straightened up and began to climb towards the exit at the top of the ladder.
"You may wonder, why don't I come down and kill you?
Because you're really strong, and you're also a martial arts practitioner, I don't want to take that risk.
As soon as I climbed to the top of the elevator, I immediately broke the hanging cable, allowing the entire elevator to fall freely.
So I don't need to do it at all.
As for the end, the police will see the surveillance video in the hotel corridor, and they will find a man with a cap and mask who has entered the elevator and then died in the elevator with six other people.
Seven people entered the elevator, and seven bodies were placed in the elevator.
No one would have known that I had ever existed.
Here it is:
Quietly I went, just as I came quietly.
I waved my sleeves and didn't take a cloud with me. ”
"......" Tang Xuan.
He struggled to get up from the ground, but the trauma inflicted on him by the security guards caused him to sit down again.
Is it just watching the killer get out and break the cable of the elevator?
The murderer's upper body had already gotten out of the elevator, leaving only a pair of feet.
Perhaps it was because of the imminent death, Tang Lu suddenly became wise in a hurry:
"Do you really think no one knows about your existence? can you be sure that you really haven't left any evidence or clues?"
The killer ignored it and continued to climb.
Then he walked through the exit at the top of the elevator and climbed to the top of the elevator.
"You use your own mobile phone, right? Did you know that there is a function in your mobile phone called 'recording'?"
Tang Xuan's voice was calm.
