I was confused by Chen Yaojie's inexplicable behavior. Before I could react, I was pulled by him and started running.
This was at the gate of the station. Being dragged away by him like this would inevitably lead to misunderstandings. Fortunately, he was not wearing a police uniform today, otherwise the joke would have been too big and I might be on the news tomorrow.
"No, Officer Chen, just keep talking. Why are you holding me back like this?" I smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
Chen Yaojie then turned around, looked at me, then at Li Zhi, slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, isn't this a mess? It's mainly because of Xiao Li's situation, just the two of us. The toilet is of no use!"
But when it comes to going to the toilet, I didn't think about it. Is there anything that needs to be solved by going to the toilet?
It was obvious that Chen Yaojie was seriously ill and had to seek medical treatment.
Li Zhi's situation?
I was a little puzzled, and then I cast my doubtful eyes on Li Zhi behind me.
What I never noticed was that Li Zhi, who always had a smile on her face, had been frowning since the moment we met, and she didn't seem to be in a very high mood.
I suddenly realized something was wrong, so I broke away from Chen Yaojie's hand and asked Li Zhi, "Officer Li, what's going on?"
Li Zhi walked up slowly. There was some morbid beauty in her frowning face, and she looked very charming, but I was not in the mood to appreciate it, so I had to wait for her to speak.
Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Lin, the situation seems to be a little different from last time, and I seem to have become a participant in this case."
Participants?
I was confused again. I was the only one who didn’t understand that these two people were singing and harmonizing.
But Li Zhi didn't leave me confused for too long. Seeing that I didn't speak, he immediately said: "Mr. Lin, although the murderer this time has the same method as the last time, but... it seems to have upgraded again!"
I immediately asked: "Upgrade? How to upgrade?"
Li Zhi bit his lip gently, paused for a moment, and then said: "The murderer this time seems to have selected his targets in advance before killing them, and marked them on their bodies!"
My eyes lit up at that moment. Did you choose your target in advance?
This point can be said to be unheard of, because it does not conform to the logic of the murderer's crime. If the target knows his actions in advance, he will be alert, and then it may not be conducive to action.
Unless the murderer is absolutely confident in his methods, even if the other party knows that he is the next target, he is sure that the target will not escape from his grasp.
I groaned and then asked: "How did you discover this feature?"
Li Zhi stopped talking and seemed to be in a low mood. At this time, Chen Yaojie, who was behind her, came forward and said to me: "It's like this. After the first case occurred, we did an autopsy on the body, and the result was that the An extremely unusual pattern was found on the chest, as red as blood. At first we thought it was a tattoo, and we raised questions because no one would put a tattoo on the chest, right? But we couldn't find a suitable explanation, so we gave it up. !”
"Until the second case occurred, we found the same tattoo on the inner thigh of the deceased, which forced us to pay more attention! If it were one, it could be explained, but if two appeared at the same time, it would not be possible It was explained by coincidence, until..."
Before Chen Yaojie could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhi: "Mr. Lin, let's find a place to talk. This is not the place to talk!"
Having said this, if I still can't guess anything, then I would be a fool. Obviously, this matter has something to do with Li Zhi.
After sniffing slightly, Chen Yaojie and Li Zhi walked straight out.
As soon as we exited the station square, a black off-road vehicle roared past and parked next to us.
"Get in the car, Mr. Lin." Chen Yaojie stepped forward, opened the door for me, and said very politely.
I looked around and got in the car without thinking much.
As soon as I got in the car, I discovered that the driver was a man in police uniform. If I guessed correctly, Chen Yaojie should have sent someone from the local police station after he had said hello in advance.
As soon as we got in the car, the police officer who came got out of the car, greeted Chen Yaojie politely, and left.
"I borrowed a car from the local police station. Don't think too much about it. We'll drive back to Tai'an next. If you have anything to say, let's talk on the way!" Chen Yaojie closed the car door and then put on his seat belt. He didn't know where he took it out from. I put on a pair of sunglasses.
Well, those who didn’t know better thought it was the underworld.
The car started slowly, without stopping at all. Before they had a moment to rest, they turned back.
They really came all the way to pick me up. I was a little embarrassed to have mobilized so many people.
"Okay, Officer Li, I saw that you were hesitant to speak just now. You must have something to say, and it's not convenient to say it there, right? You should be able to say it now, right?" When I saw the car starting, I asked directly.
At this time, Li Zhi seemed to let go of his emotions and slumped in his seat. He didn't know whether it was because of fatigue or his mood.
She sighed softly, then opened her red lips slightly and said softly: "Mr. Lin, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you again this time. Please forgive me."
I waved my hand: "What are you talking about? That's right. Didn't we have friendly cooperation? There's no need to say polite words. Let's talk about the case!"
Li Zhi pursed his lips and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin, I believe you can see that my reaction has not been right since we met. You must also have doubts, right?"
I nodded, noncommittal.
Li Zhi seemed to have made a big decision, and then pulled down the curtain on the car window.
Just when I was wondering, Li Zhi pulled the clothes off his shoulders.
The white and tender skin was immediately exposed to my sight, making me almost scream.
However, the next second, what I saw made me swallow back the scream I had not yet made.
Because on Li Zhi's shoulder, there was a blood-colored thing that looked like a tattoo!
