Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen Serial Murder

Summer in City C always comes very early, it's not yet June, and it's already so hot that you can only wear a short-sleeved one.Snakes, insects, rats and ants were everywhere in the grass, and mosquitoes as big as little fingers bit the two people lurking in the bushes all over their heads. The two boys held cameras in their hands, and their eyes were staring straight at the forest villa dozens of steps away, with lust shining in their eyes. "Guo Wei, is your news reliable?" one of them asked in a low voice.Another said: "Absolutely nothing wrong. This Professor Zuo is an authority on genetic biology. He was expelled from the institute because of his radical thinking. I heard that he is now receiving funding from a secret organization and doing some horrible research." .”

"What research is it?" The guy named Guo Wei looked around, leaned into his ear and said, "Human research is said to be experiments with living people." "Great, if we can capture this big news, we will be popular." "Maybe we can even win the best news award." The two fell into fantasy, dreaming of the wealth of money that would follow after they became popular. "Are you ready?" Guo Wei asked. "Always be ready." The two of them smiled and walked cautiously to the back of the villa with hairy waists, and got in through the dog hole under the fence. The noisy and hot summer night was blocked out of the yard by a high wall.

The two were blinded by profit, and ignored these details, only thinking about how to climb to the second floor and get in through the window. "Hey, Gao Ming, the back door is not closed." Guo Wei was so excited that he could barely speak clearly, God helped me.The two of them looked at the door for a while, making sure that there was no one in the room, so they pushed the door in. The moment the door was opened, a strong smell of blood rushed over like a flood. come out. Damn, is this a slaughterhouse?Gao Ming cursed in his heart, what kind of perverted research is Professor Zuo doing?Suddenly his feet tightened, and he finally couldn't help crying out: "Who, who, who, I, we are not robbers, we are, we are..."

Guo Wei couldn't help but took out the flashlight, and took a photo of his feet, and saw a bloody wriggling person, no, it was hardly a person, both legs and right arm were torn off, leaving only one left hand, which was holding tightly Grab Gao Ming's ankle firmly. The man slowly raised his head, half of his face was gone, as ferocious as a ghost. "Run..." Before the words fell, there was a rustling sound in the darkness, like thousands of snakes crawling. Against the light of the flashlight, the faces of the two reporters showed unbelievable horror and distortion, as if they had seen the most terrifying scene in the world.

The screams pierced the silent night sky, the summer night boiled, and countless birds rose from the forest, flapping their wings and rushing into the sky. No one knows how much blood and killings are hidden in this night. Ning Chuqian feels that she has been unlucky recently. She lost a wallet on the bus yesterday. She fell and twisted her foot when she went out this morning. Although it is not swollen, there is a tendon in her ankle that is always wrong. pain.The most paradoxical thing was that she felt that someone was following her all day today, as if a pair of eyes were staring at her in the dark, making her hairy.

Could it be that he encountered a pervert?Following what she did on TV, she took out the makeup mirror and pretended to touch up her makeup. She looked behind her carefully and found a young man acting sneakily.It doesn't matter, I almost vomited out last night's dinner.That man should be extremely young, but he looks extremely ugly, his face is full of wrinkles, and there are some red acne marks, and the bumps are like the surface of the moon. It can be described as disgusting and long. Ning Chuqian's hairs are standing on end, it is already ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. Could it be that this person followed her with evil intentions?She couldn't help speeding up her pace. Fortunately, the apartment she rented was not far from the school, so she didn't have to go deep into the streets and alleys.

All the way along the way, I was very nervous, and finally arrived at the apartment building. I wondered if God was against her on purpose. There was no one in the security room. She entered the password and hurried into the building, and finally felt a little relieved.Fortunately, there is an access control system, otherwise his life would be in danger tonight.It seems that it is not safe to live alone, so I have to buy a wolf spray online and take it with me. Stepping into the elevator, she suddenly shivered.Is the air conditioner turned on in this elevator today? Why is it so cold? At this time, she realized that there was another person in the elevator, a woman in a long red dress.The woman was tall and had long hair. She was standing in a corner with her head bowed. One of the elevator lights had been broken long ago, and the rest was very dark. Ning Chuqian couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly.

Strange, when did this woman get into the elevator?Did it come from the parking lot downstairs?But she clearly remembered that the elevator had stopped on the first floor. A chill emerged from her heart, running up her spine like a snake, and getting into the back of her head, causing her to shiver. Wouldn't it be something unclean? Ning Chuqian's scalp was numb, she didn't dare to look at the woman, she just stared at the floor light, hoping to go home quickly. At this time, the lights on the fifth floor came on.Ning Chuqian seemed to have been punched in the chest by someone, and she couldn't even hold the bag in her hand steadily.This apartment building uses a new type of elevator. When the elevator is going up, if someone outside presses the elevator button, it will only be displayed if it is going up. This means that someone on the fifth floor wants to go upstairs. What about the elevator going upstairs?

There is only one explanation, something bad got in the elevator. Ning Chuqian pressed the buttons for the third and fourth floors without even thinking about it, but the strange thing was that the elevator didn't stop and went straight to the fifth floor. She gasped, and her eyes fell on the smooth elevator door.The elevator door was like a slightly hazy mirror, reflecting the image behind her. The tall woman in red who had been hanging her head was slowly raising her head. As her face gradually became clear, Ning Chuqian's heart also rose to her throat, beating like a drum, as if it could jump out of her throat in an instant.

"Ding", with a crisp sound, the elevator stopped on the fifth floor, the door opened, and a person stood outside.Seeing that person's face, Ning Chuqian almost burst into tears. The wrinkles and acne scars on that face were clearly the pervert who had been with her all day. "Don't hurt her!" The ugly man yelled behind her, rushed in and grabbed Ning Chuqian's hand, pulled her out of the elevator, and then threw a handful of red powder at the tall woman, Ning Chuqian knew clearly Hearing a low scream, the elevator doors closed in response. "Let's go!" The ugly man pulled Ning Chuqian and ran into the corridor. Her mind went blank. What was he going to do? The corridor was dark and dark. Could it be that she wanted to...

Ning Chuqian was so frightened that she screamed and wanted to break free, but the ugly man was so strong that she couldn't escape no matter how hard she struggled.Just when she was about to despair, the ugly man dragged her out of the corridor, rushed out of the apartment building, and went all the way to the street, before he finally let her go and asked eagerly, "You, are you okay?" Ning Chuqian's face was full of tears, and her eyes were covered with tears. The sprain on her ankle was painful, and she asked in a crying voice, "Who are you? What do you want to do?" "I, my name is..." The ugly man faltered for a long time, his face flushed to the base of his neck, "It doesn't matter who I am, as long as you are fine. Call the police quickly, and tell the elevator that someone was hanged to death." Ning Chuqian couldn't believe her ears, she widened her eyes and said, "What did you say?" After being questioned by her, the boy's face became even redder, and he lowered his head not daring to look at her: "Anyway, you should report the crime as soon as possible, don't go home tonight, and stay in a hotel overnight." The room card and a wallet were handed to her, and she turned and ran.Ning Chuqian froze on the spot, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled. Isn't this the wallet that was stolen from her yesterday?How could it be in his hands? Could it be that he stole it?Then why should he give it back to himself? The room card belonged to the hotel closest to her home, and the room rate was not cheap. She stayed there for a while, and then took out her phone to call the police. The police obviously didn't believe in ghost stories like elevator hangings, but they let her check it out. , The moment the elevator was opened, the expressions of everyone present changed. The tall woman in red was still standing there, when the policeman went in and pushed her, her body shook unexpectedly.At this time, Ning Chuqian realized that she was not tall, but was hung in the elevator. A thin nylon thread was wrapped around her neck to lift her up. Because of the dim light, the nylon thread was almost invisible. The skirt is long, and if you don't look carefully, you really look like a tall beauty. The policemen hurriedly put down the body, checked it roughly, and Ning Chuqian almost collapsed when she said later: "It may have been five or six hours since I died." So how does a dead body hold its head up? Qu Siqi felt that Ye Buer was a little strange recently. Usually, whenever there was no class, he would go to the research institute to sort out files and clean up. But these days, he never saw anyone, and when he came here occasionally, he always sat on the chair in a daze, his face flushed. Red, I don't know what I'm thinking. "Let's fall in love." Qin Zheming said slowly, sipping coffee. Qu Siqi's mouth is wide open, is it possible to fall in love?He's the kind of person who blushes when he sees a girl, and can't beat a fart with a few sticks, can he fall in love? Bai Xiaozhou raised his head from the pile of files and asked, "Teacher Long and the others haven't come back yet?" Qin Zheming and Qu Siqi were stunned for a moment. Long Chuxia, Sima Fanti, and Zhu Yikai went to investigate the case of human bones in the deep mountains. It has been four weeks, but there is no news at all. Nothing will happen, right? The three of them fell silent. In the past, they often had no news due to investigations, but this was the first time they had gone for a month. The atmosphere was dull and suffocating for a moment. Qu Siqi's cell phone knew how to judge the situation and broke the silence with a high-pitched gesture. He picked up the phone restlessly, and his face became faster than flipping a book, whiter than a page. Bai Xiaozhou asked nervously: "Is it Teacher Long and the others..." "Bu Er was detained." Qu Siqi said with a blank face, "Brother Xiao Lin said he was suspected of murder." When I saw Ye Buer in the detention center, he was lowering his head and fiddling with his nails, his cheeks were still red, and he seemed to be caught in some kind of happy memory. "Fuer, are you okay?" Qu Siqi grabbed his shoulder, speechless incoherently in fright, "Did you get bullied by someone inside? Who is it? I tore him down!" Ye Buer quickly shook his head: "Brother Xiao Lin said hello, I was not bullied." "Then why is your face so red? Have a fever?" "No, it's nothing." Ye Buer buried his head even lower, and lightly pressed his left hand on his pocket, as if trying to hide something.Qu Siqi had quick hands and quick eyes, grabbed his hand, and took out the things in his pocket. Qu Siqi's jaw fell to the ground with a bang, and it turned out to be a picture of a girl, tall and thin, with curly hair and shawl, pretty face, and two sweet dimples when she smiled. "Give it back to me!" Ye Bu'er blushed like a tomato, and grabbed it when he came up, but was held down by the guarding policeman.The policeman was tall, with a poker face, and stretched out his hand to Qu Siqi.Qu Siqi had no choice but to obediently hand over the photo. "Who is she?" Qu Siqi hadn't recovered from the shock.Ye Buer was silent for a while, then suddenly grabbed his arm, and said very seriously: "She is in danger, Si Qi, please save her." "Buer is stunned." Qu Siqi took a photo of the photo on the table, and said angrily, "I actually like such a girl, and I followed her all day. In order to get back her lost wallet, I gave away a whole bunch of thieves. Beaten down, and saved her life from the elevator, she actually said that Bu Er stole the wallet, and that the woman in the elevator was killed by Bu Er, it is simply unreasonable, kindhearted as a donkey." Bai Xiaozhou felt his eardrums hurt from the shock, picked up the photo, and looked at it carefully for a while: "It's still pretty. What's going on?" "Vulgar and vulgar fans." Qu Siqi frowned uncomfortably, and explained the cause and effect in detail. It turned out that the girl's name was Ning Chuqian, and she was a junior student in the School of Life Sciences of Ninghua Academy.At a welcome party, she performed on stage and sang a song. Ye Buer happened to be sitting in the first row, and he fell in love with him immediately. Very satisfied.He ran into Ning Chuqian early yesterday morning and saw that her seal was black and her luck was on the verge of bad luck. She was exactly the "dead appearance" mentioned in the numerology book.Hearing that her wallet was stolen, she didn't care about anything, rushed into the gang of thieves' den, and gave it to her, but she couldn't muster up the courage to return the wallet to her. It wasn't until the elevator incident last night that she finally got along with her. She spoke.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. The police came to the door early this morning and handcuffed him, suspecting that he was the murderer. After Qin Zheming listened, he spit out a sip of coffee: "If it were me, I would also think he is a perverted murderer." Bai Xiaozhou asked, "What did Xiao Lin say?" "Fortunately, Buer has no motive for the murder. The police are investigating the case. As long as the real murderer can be caught, Buer will come out." Qu Siqi said with a look of hatred, "He got into a whole lot of trouble himself. You're still worried about that woman." "What does he want us to do?" "He firmly believes that woman will still be in danger, and wants us to protect her at every step." Qu Siqi rolled his eyes, "When did that kid start learning physiognomy again?" Bai Xiaozhou stared at the photo for a while, a strange scene appeared in her clear eyes, she moved her eyelashes, put the photo in her pocket and said, "I'll protect her." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Lin's call came. The policeman, who was used to seeing big scenes, was so excited that he couldn't even finish his sentence, accompanied by severe retching.It took a long time for everyone to understand that the clues in the case of the woman in red that he was in charge of all pointed to one person—the security guard of the apartment building. He excitedly brought people to arrest her, but the security guard died. If he hadn't seen this hellish scene with his own eyes, Bai Xiaozhou would never have believed that there is such a tragedy in the world. The small security room was almost completely soaked in blood, as if someone had washed it thoroughly with a bloody faucet.The blood was mixed with some things similar to human stumps, and there were human tissues everywhere. It may take a month for the forensic doctor to distinguish which is the heart and which is the liver. Qu Siqi just took a look and went out to vomit. Bai Xiaozhou, who studied forensic medicine, stood at the door dumbfounded: "What happened here? The bomb exploded?" "The security guard who died was called Shen Jianguo. Some people reported that the hanged female victim was followed by him before she was alive. He was in charge of the camera in the elevator. It just happened to be broken the night the incident happened. He has serious suspicions." Xiao Lin covered his mouth. Said, "There were two security guards on duty, and the other went to the opposite flower garden to smoke a cigarette. When he left, he was fine, but he heard a scream, and he was like that when he came back." It was only four or five minutes before and after, and it wasn't an explosion. What caused such a tragic situation? "I, I didn't see anything." An incoherent argument came from the garden, with trembling voices.Bai Xiaozhou turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a security uniform trembling with his arms folded, his legs were limp, as if he would sit on the ground at any moment, his face was pale, and he looked quite frightened. "Is he the surviving security guard?" She asked Xiao Lin, who nodded and said, "But he insisted that he didn't see anything, so I'm afraid it won't help much." "Are there any cameras installed here?" "There's only one over the gate, and it's still broken." Bai Xiaozhou couldn't help feeling a little discouraged. At this moment, a bald man in a light green shirt hurried over, wiping the sweat on his forehead with a tissue as he walked, and when he saw Xiao Lin, he jumped up and shook hands: "Comrade police, you must catch the murderer!" Ah, our community has always been safe and sound, and I don’t know what evil has caught it recently, and people have died one after another.” After speaking, he glanced into the security room, his face turned pale, and his legs began to tremble. "Are you the manager of the property management?" Xiao Lin asked several times before he came back to his senses and handed over a business card: "My surname is Li, just call me Lao Li. If you have anything to ask, I will know everything." , There are endless words." Just as Xiao Lin was about to speak, Lao Li suddenly remembered something: "By the way, comrade policeman, I came here this time because I have something important to say. I installed a camera in the security room half a month ago." This sentence lifted the spirits of everyone present. Lao Li didn't dare to enter the house, and pointed to the corner of the ceiling: "There are often owners who complain that the security guards are lazy, so I secretly installed a camera, and they don't know." , took out a tape from the briefcase, "This is a video tape, only the past 24 hours." "Enough." Xiao Lin was so excited that his eyes lit up, he took the video tape, and brought Bai Xiaozhou and Qu Siqi into the manager's room. The video began to play on the computer screen: the security guard who died before the incident was reading the newspaper in the office. Quite leisurely, a man walked into the office shortly after another security guard went out to smoke. Several people stared straight at the man, all showing expressions of surprise. It was a young woman, tall, thin, and very pretty. Ning Chuqian! The security guard raised his head, as if he wanted to say something to her, she walked straight towards him, and the picture suddenly turned into snowflakes, Qu Siqi was anxious: "What's going on?" "Maybe there is something wrong with the camera." Manager Li pressed the fast-forward button. After about four or five minutes, the snowflakes disappeared and the picture became clear again. However, the entire office was already immersed in a sea of ​​blood, and Ning Chuqian didn't know tracked. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, why is the most important part missing?Could it be that the murderer knew there was a camera, and used some method to temporarily disable it?Now that technology is so advanced, it is not impossible. "Rewind the tape." Bai Xiaozhou said suddenly, when the camera was rewound to the moment before it failed, she yelled to stop, "Try zooming in on the face." Manager Li's computer did not have advanced processing software, and the picture was very blurry after zooming in, but Ning Chuqian's almost cruel pretty face could still be seen. Everyone didn't know why the word "cruel" appeared in their hearts. It was a very beautiful girl's face, and there was nothing hideous about it, but it gave people a terrible chill. Even through the computer screen, that kind of oppression Feelings of anxiety and threat are still overwhelming, making people breathless. monster.These two words came out of everyone's hearts, and their faces were already covered with cold sweat. "Sure enough..." Bai Xiaozhou whispered, and Qu Siqi asked, "What did you see?"
