Chapter 29 Chapter Thirteen Birthday Presents

Zhen Zhen and I rushed out of the fast food restaurant, looked around and didn't even see Wu Yu's shadow, he must have planned to get rid of us.He probably discovered me just now when I was kicking out the trash can in the hotel. Although he pretended to be nonchalant at that time, judging from his series of weird actions, he had already begun to plan how to get rid of us at that time. I told Zhen Zhen what I wanted in my heart, but she looked at me with puzzled eyes: "Is he a god? How could it be possible to predict that the shower head in the bathroom would spray water for no reason?"

"We might find out when we go back and see, anyway, we don't know where he went now." After that, I returned to the fast food restaurant with her. When we entered the men's room, the showers were off but the floor was wet and a clerk was mopping it.He said that the bathroom needs to be cleaned up and can't be used temporarily, so he asked me to wait outside first, and looked at Zhenzhen suspiciously, probably wondering why a woman ran in.When I showed him the police ID and said that we were here to investigate, he didn’t say any more (language) and continued mopping the floor. He just glanced at us from time to time, probably thinking that there would be problems if the shower head failed. Let the police investigate!

One of the compartments in the washroom was particularly flooded, and I think that's where the malfunctioning shower head was.Sure enough, when I looked up, I saw a shower head directly above the toilet, and the amalgam glass stopper that should have been embedded in the middle was gone. I also found a soaked cigarette butt on the ground. "Your firefighting equipment hasn't been checked for a long time, right? Otherwise, why would water be sprayed out for no reason." Zhen Zhen asked the clerk who was mopping the floor. "I'm not sure about this, you can ask the manager!" The clerk was a little flustered, probably thinking that we were here to investigate the fire-fighting equipment.However, he immediately added: "Our store has only been open for more than half a year, and everything is new."

"Well, your equipment is fine. Someone deliberately damaged the sprinkler head." I squatted down to carefully identify the brand of the cigarette butt. "Is it the male student who got wet just now? He wants to blackmail this store?" Zhen Zhen asked. "No, Wu Yu did it." I said as I climbed up the toilet to check the condition of the shower head. "But he was outside at that time, how could he turn on the shower head?" She showed a puzzled look. "He's much more cunning than we imagined. Look here..." I pointed to the inside of the sprinkler head, "There are burn marks in this place, but it's not obvious. It should be caused by cigarette butts. And look at this Cigarette butt." I stepped down from the toilet, pointed to the soaked cigarette butt and continued, "This cigarette butt is the same brand as the one he bought just now."

"You mean, he put the cigarette butt in the shower head?" She still hadn't figured out what was going on. "It's not a cigarette butt, it's a whole cigarette!" I lit two cigarettes, one for myself to smoke, and the other for her. She frowned and said, "Why did you give me the cigarette?" I took two puffs of the cigarette in my hand before handing it to her, and asked, "What's the difference between these two cigarettes?" She looked at it suspiciously for a while: "There is no difference, it's just that this one was pulled by you before, and it's a little shorter."

I laughed and said, "So when he came out of the bathroom, although the cigarette in his hand was lit, he never took a puff." "He uses cigarettes as clocks?" She finally figured it out. When Wu Yu went to the bathroom, he lit two cigarettes at the same time, one was stuffed in the gap of the shower head, and the other was held by himself as a timer.That way he would know roughly when the showerhead's amalgam glass plug was going to burst from the heat of a cigarette.This fast food restaurant is packed, and once the sprinklers come out, there are bound to be people and chaos.And chaos is bound to distract us, and he just takes advantage of our brief distraction and runs away.

Before, I just regarded Wu Yu as an ordinary uncle, but now I have to change my view of him, because his IQ is not low.Although he is Wu Hao's father, it cannot be ruled out that he is the murderer at this moment.Perhaps Wu Hao did not kill him, but he may have killed other victims. "What should I do now?" Zhen Zhen asked me when I walked out of the fast food restaurant. I spread my hands and shrugged my shoulders and said, "What else can I do, go to the academy and try your luck! Do you think that if you call his cell phone, he will tell you where you are now?" After she gave me a blank look, she walked with me to the college, hoping to find Wu Yu.However, since he wanted to get rid of us, how could he let us find it so easily, until it was dark, we still found nothing.Just as I was wondering if I should ask Ah Yang to bring some buddies to help, the phone rang suddenly, and an unfamiliar but exciting number was displayed on the screen—it was a call from Wu Yu.

"Hello, Mr. Mu, are you still near the academy?" His polite opening made me feel that he had malicious intentions. However, since he cleverly escaped our tracking, I don't think he is a good man and a faithful woman.Conversations between smart people don't need to be too oblique, so I just said, "Where are you now?" "You will see me soon. I am on the hill behind the teaching building, where Xiao Hao was killed. You should have been here before, right?" It turned out that he was hiding on the hill, no wonder we found him I couldn't find him for a long time.

"What are you doing there?" This is a redundant question, because what he is doing there has nothing to do with us, our purpose is only to find him.However, now that it was completely dark, and he was hiding in such a secluded place, his motives were suspicious. "Come here immediately, and I will tell you who the murderer is." His tone was very cold, which made people feel that there was a hidden murderous intention. I was not excited about who he was willing to reveal, because he avoided my question, so I asked indifferently: "You refused to tell us who the murderer was when you killed him last night, why do you want to tell us now?" ?”

"Of course you will know when you come." He hung up after finishing speaking. I feel more and more suspicious about him, and now he takes the initiative to tell us what he refused to say even if he was beaten to death before, which is obviously a grand banquet.However, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch tiger cubs. Even if we know it's dangerous, we have to go there.I hope that the Broken Sword "Ren Xiao" is not in his hands, otherwise our trip can be said to be extremely dangerous. We have been to the small hillside, and it takes less than ten minutes to walk there from the current location. However, when we walked for about five minutes, I received a message on my mobile phone, which was sent by Jianhua.She should be taking evening classes in the classroom at this time, why would she send me a message?She's not the type to break classroom discipline.I checked this message with doubts, and I couldn't help becoming nervous when I saw it, because the content of the message was: "Brother Shen Yu, come and save me! I'm in the grove by the lake. See Hua!"

"What's wrong?" Zhen Zhen may have seen something wrong with my complexion. I didn't answer her, and immediately called Jianhua's cell phone, but she had already turned it off. "What happened?" Zhen Zhen asked again.I handed her the phone to look at, and she was also very nervous afterwards, and quickly asked, "What should I do now?" Wu Yu can go there later, but Jian Hua can't delay for a moment, because she may be in danger now, so I asked Zhen Zhen and I to go to the lake to check first, and then go to Wu Jie.However, when we ran all the way to the small woods, we found that there was no one here.what is going on actually? Called Jianhua's cell phone again, but it was still turned off.When I was upset about this, I received another message, this time from Wu Yu: "Are you there yet? I made an appointment with the murderer here, and I have already seen her." God of longevity!Why didn't you just say you wanted to meet the murderer! While it's possible Woo Woo is lying, he's the only one who might know who the killer is, so we have to believe him.However, the woods by the lake and the small hillside we are in are one after another. Even if we run with all our strength, it will take at least fifteen minutes. I hope he can try to stop the murderer as much as possible. In order to prepare him, I risked being discovered by the murderer and sent him a message saying that we would arrive in fifteen minutes.After sending the message, we ran towards the hillside together. Although Zhenzhen ran very fast, but my physical strength is limited, so we arrived five minutes later than expected.When I ran up the hill panting for breath, I realized that the situation was not good, because I heard a scream, which should be from Wu Yu. There were two figures on the hillside. Because of the dim light and the distance, I couldn't see their appearance clearly. I could only judge from the figures that they were a man and a woman.The man should be Wu Yu, and the woman must be the murderer, and what I saw later also confirmed my guess—the woman pulled out a dagger-like object from the opponent, and the man fell down immediately. "What are you doing!" Zhen Zhen yelled at the female figure, who immediately ran away upon hearing the sound, and she quickly chased after her. I really wonder if Zhenzhen's IQ is 90, why is she yelling at this time, can't she just walk up to the other party quietly and then flash the handcuffs?However, it is useless to blame her at this time, I just hope that she can catch up with the murderer without being stabbed. I couldn't run as fast as Zhenzhen, and I couldn't help if I followed him, so I walked up to the fallen man to check.With the help of the moonlight, I saw a withered corpse, but his clothes were exactly the same as Wu Yu's, and the scream just now was also Wu Yu's voice, so it is almost certain that he is Wu Yu. After I called Liu Nian, I searched for clues on the deceased and found a letter in his pocket.I took out my phone and activated the phone's flashlight app to illuminate it.With the help of the light from the screen, I realized that this letter was actually addressed to me—— Dear Officer Mu Shenyu, Now you should understand why I didn't tell you who the murderer was last night!Even if I tell you, you don't have enough evidence to arrest her, so I want you to arrest her on the spot, so that she has no chance to quibble. Don't think it's great for me to do this, and you don't have to feel sorry for my death, because I did it to atone for myself.I really committed too many crimes, not only killed Ah Cai, but also killed Xiao Hao. Now I am alone, and living is just a kind of torture for me, which made me think of suicide at one point.But I don't want to die meaninglessly, at least before I die, I have to seek justice for Xiaohao and make up for the mistakes I made.Therefore, I plan to die under the sword of the artifact like Xiaohao, so that you can bring the murderer to justice. I hope that after I die, I can be reunited with Xiao Hao and Ah Cai in heaven, instead of being thrown into the 18th floor of hell. farewell! Redeemed sinner Wu Yu After reading this letter, I have the urge to jump into the river.How could it be such a coincidence that we could have caught the murderer on the spot, but at this moment Jianhua sent us a message, which delayed us for a while.However, it was these hours that kept us from the murderer.If it weren't for the news of seeing Hua, perhaps we would not only be able to arrest the murderer on the spot, but Wu Yu might not have to die.I hope Zhenzhen can catch up with the murderer, otherwise Wu Yu's sacrifice will be in vain. However, the facts are always disappointing. When I saw Zhen Zhen coming back alone, I knew that the murderer had run away.Although I felt very disappointed, I still hoped that she could bring me clues about the murderer, so I asked, "Did you see the murderer's face clearly?" Zhen Zhen shook her head: "I couldn't see clearly. She is very familiar with the terrain here, and she only picked some dark places to run. I couldn't see what she looked like at all." "That's troublesome. Now that Wu Yu is dead, the clues are all broken." I sighed helplessly. "Look at this, the murderer dropped it when he was escaping." Her tone suddenly became strange, she stretched out her clenched right hand to me, and slowly opened it. When she opened her palms, I saw a string of beads.A feeling of suffocation suddenly struck, and I felt my heart pause for a moment, because what she held in her hand was not an ordinary bead chain, but a string of soul-fixing irons.I hastily stretched out my left hand to make sure the soul-fixing iron in my hand existed.The bead chain that has been with me since I was a child still clings to my wrist. I did not drop the bead chain on her hand, but this is why I am surprised. "I remember that Jianhua also has a bracelet like this..." She hesitated to speak, and handed me the bead chain. I turned the brightness of the phone to the highest level, and used the light from the screen to carefully observe the bead chain she handed over.There are not many people who know how to wear soul-fixing iron, and each bead has a unique pattern, so I can be sure that this beaded chain is a birthday present for Jianhua on her sixteenth birthday. Could it be that the murderer was Jian Hua...
