December 10, 4:30 pm.
It has been more than half a month. In the huge city A, there have been no reports of injuries or suicides, and there are only a few cases of petty thefts.
Under the rain and fog, the whole city was eerily quiet, like a huge beast that was sleeping, lingering silently among the plains, as if it could erupt into a sharp roar at any time...
As the hands of the police station clock pointed to 5 o'clock, the sound of cleaning up could be heard in the office area.
The deputy director invited guests to dinner tonight, and many police officers left the office, leaving only Xingdian.
Li Dongliao was chewing gum in his mouth, stuffing his notebook into his bag and slinging it on his shoulder, ready to leave.
Before withdrawing, he specifically 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, wondering what she was busy with.
"Tan team, what are you looking at?"
While talking, Li Dongliao had already teleported to Tan Wan's computer, and kept digging his head into the computer screen to see clearly what she was busy with.
He only caught a glimpse of it, and before his eyes could clearly see the content on the screen, Tan Wan raised his hand and flicked his forehead, and a numbing pain instantly spread throughout his body.
The two have known each other for many years. Li Dongliao didn't care about her. He covered his forehead with one hand and pulled Tan Wan up from the chair with the other hand: "Stop looking and leave quickly. If you are late again, the deputy director will have to find us again." There’s trouble!”
The deputy bureau loves to be lively and often invites colleagues to parties in a private name.
The two of them were late for the bureau last time, and the deputy bureau was very small-minded, so he changed hands and gave them a shocking and difficult case to embarrass the two of them. The original intention was to relieve the frustration and distress of the two of them.
But he didn't expect that Tan Wan was obsessed with this case. After struggling for three and a half months, he actually solved the case.
When the director was happy, Gaga promoted Tan Wan, but now the deputy director was even more unhappy, which led to today's situation.
To say it was a game, it was more like a Hongmen Banquet.
"I know." Tan Wan stuffed the computer into her bag with no expression on her face.
It's pouring tonight, the sky is dark, and the moist smell in the air makes breathing difficult and unpleasant.
Li Dongliao was responsible for driving the two of them to their destination. Seeing that there was no time, he used navigation to choose a shorter road.
As the navigation system was updated, the car navigation system quickly led Li Dongliao into a small alley.
The alley is only wide enough for one car to pass. On one side are the houses along the street and on the other side is the river. There are no blocking railings on the river side.
The passenger seat Tanwan sat in happened to be on the side facing the river. She looked at the dark river through the window and murmured in her heart.
"This is too dark..." She complained softly, subconsciously touching the peace charm around her neck.
This scene was seen by Li Dongliao. He looked sideways at Tan Wan's neck: "Do you still have this peace charm with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a homeless man suddenly appeared in front of the car lights and ran out as if he was frightened. The man didn't look at the road at all, and he didn't even see Li Dongliao's car!
The incident happened suddenly, and when he was about to hit the collision, Tan Wan held the steering wheel and shouted loudly: "Be careful!!!"
Almost subconsciously, Li Dongliao slammed on the brakes. The car slid forward for more than half a meter and stopped with a sharp friction sound.
In the car, Li Dongliao's face turned pale. He held the steering wheel with both hands and held his breath. His eyes were staring at the road ahead and he still hadn't recovered.
Tan Wan also had a frightened expression on her face, but fortunately she observed in time, and the homeless man was only severely startled, and he sat on the ground with a thud without being hit.
Both sides were frightened, and Li Dongliao was the first to recover.
He rolled down the window, stuck out his head and cursed: "Why are you walking! Do you want to die if you don't have eyes?!"
The homeless man seemed to be mute, with a pair of frightened eyes revealed under his messy and thick hair. He would look in the direction he came from from time to time, and babbling something in his mouth, as if there was something there.
Weird actions and looks.
At first they thought the man was nearly hit by a car, but later they realized it was not that simple.
"Something's not right." Tan Wan got out of the car in the rain with doubts.
She pulled the man up from the ground and just wanted to check if the homeless man was injured, but the homeless man slapped his arm away in a panic.
He lowered his head and randomly picked up the snakeskin bag beside him. Regardless of the original lameness of his left foot, he hugged the snakeskin bag and ran away.
Li Dongliao, who was sitting in the car, was also stunned by the scene in front of him: "What's going on? What the hell?"
At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, washing the ground with a deafening sound.
Li Dongliao hurriedly took an umbrella from the back seat and got out of the car to hold an umbrella for Tan Wan: "The rain is really heavy. Don't stand in the rain and get wet. Get in the car quickly!"
At this moment, Li Dongliao was facing Tan Wan and holding an umbrella for her.
She was standing there as stiff as a log, her face pale.
She slowly raised her hand and pointed behind him, the noise of the heavy rain almost covering up her voice.
"What?" Li Dongliao brought his ear closer to hear more clearly.
This time I heard clearly what she said: Call the police!
Li Dongliao turned around suddenly and followed Tan Wan's gaze.
I saw something hanging in an extremely narrow alley, it looked like a human-shaped thing...
As lightning fell from the sky, the things in front of him were illuminated clearly.
A naked man was hanging under the hemp rope, with his neck broken and crooked to the side. Under the influence of wind and rain, he was swaying slightly like a broken doll. The scene was strange and horrifying...
The corners of the corpse's mouth were slightly raised, like a strange smile.
At this moment, the corpse's eyes were severely bloodshot, and he was looking at Tan Wan and Li Dongliao with half-bulging eyeballs.
The corpse was covered in scars and blood, and its messy hair was messy and flowing in the wind, and the whole body was dangling in the air. It was no different from a ghost hiding in the dark to spy on the living people with evil smiles...
Li Dongliao was suddenly frightened and blurted out, "Ahhhhh!!————"
(The police car arrived half an hour later)
The one who got off the car was Lao Zhang, who was doing the autopsy at the bureau. He was shocked when he saw the body.
It's no wonder that in addition to the broken neck of the victim, his whole body was stabbed with a knife.
The flesh from the wound was hanging out, even the intestines were visible, and blood and unknown liquid flowed all over the body...
One can imagine how vicious the murderer was.
Lao Zhang was wearing a poncho and shouted to Tan Wan in the heavy rain: "Team Tan, the rain is too heavy here. The body can no longer be soaked in the water. The body must be brought back to the bureau."
Tan Wan nodded: "This case is of a bad nature. We need to get the case information quickly. Go back and work overtime. I'll wait for your autopsy report."
Lao Zhang nodded solemnly and looked at the body placed on the ground: "It should be, this is my job."
