no nonsense
After he left his aunt's towel in the convenience store, his sense of responsibility drove him to rush towards the smell of blood.
The distance was further than Lu Ning imagined.
Turn east and west, passing through small paths.
There are fewer and fewer street lights on the streets and they are getting darker and darker.
Finally, he saw a figure lying on the ground next to a hidden trash can.
He stepped forward and saw a man. The man was covered in blood and his breathing was weak.
'Oops, it's too late. '
Lu Ning immediately took out his cell phone and started calling the police, hoping that the other party could still be saved.
The police arrived shortly after, followed closely by an ambulance.
As the first person to discover and report the crime, Lu Ning was naturally questioned by the police. Lu Ning took a look and saw that he was an acquaintance. He was the criminal policeman who handled the stabbing incident on the street yesterday.
Lu Ning still remembered that the other person's surname seemed to be Chen.
Officer Chen obviously recognized Lu Ning. It had only happened less than two days ago. As a criminal police officer, his memory has always been very good.
"why is it you again."
"Do you know this victim?"
"Did you see the murderer committing the crime?"
Officer Chen kept asking.
"Yes, what a coincidence. I happened to pass by here. I only saw this man lying here covered in blood. I didn't see the murderer."
"As soon as I saw him, I called the police immediately." Lu Ning answered from the perspective of an ordinary passerby.
Naturally, it is impossible for him to say that he came here based on the smell of blood.
This time, Officer Chen did not take Lu Ning to the police station to take notes. After questioning him, he left a phone number for him, and then said: "I may ask you to assist in the investigation later, and I will contact you by phone. If you remember anything, You can also call me."
"good."
Lu Ning nodded.
As he left, he looked at the other police officers who were checking on the side, and his powerful hearing allowed him to hear the conversation between them. It was learned that the victim had just gone to withdraw money before he was attacked. The murderer followed him all the way and only made his move when he reached a deserted alley.
Alas, he is an unlucky man.
Lu Ning returned along the original path.
When passing a three-way intersection, he suddenly stopped.
He sniffed his nose, turned suddenly, and walked into the alley next to him. He moved a little cautiously, checking his surroundings from time to time, then walked forward for a while and then suddenly accelerated.
Finally, he stopped in front of a trash can.
Just now, his nose smelled the blood of the attacker. How is this possible?
Could it be that the murderer was contaminated?
Probably.
So he followed the smell and chased it. He originally thought he would meet the murderer, but he didn't expect it to be a trash can.
This trash can was obviously used by nearby residents to throw domestic garbage. It was full of water and had an extremely pungent smell.
Lu Ning did not just leave. Instead, he rummaged inside and soon found a bloody glove and a dagger.
Good guy, he found the murder weapon!
The murderer is also a bit cunning. If this is thrown in the trash can, it will probably be recycled into the garbage dump in less than a day.
It was a pair of cotton gauze gloves and a dagger less than thirty centimeters long. In addition to the smell of the attacker's blood, Lu Ning also smelled another stranger's smell on it. It obviously also carried some of the sweat gland secretions of the murderer, and he couldn't help but silently record the smell in his mind.
Lu Ning hesitated for a moment, considering whether to call Police Chen. There might be fingerprints on the dagger. But after thinking about it, I quickly gave up on this idea.
"No, there's no reason."
Without touching these two things with his hands, he threw the gloves and dagger into the trash can again through a plastic bag.
I think with the police's ability to solve crimes, they will search here soon.
----------
Inside the hotel.
"Why did you go so long? Is it because it's the first time you helped someone buy this thing?"
Lin Meiqi thought Lu Ning was there for so long because she was shy.
Lu Ning didn't explain much. He gave her a look and said, "What do you think?"
Making her giggle again.
----------
the next day.
Because Lin Meiqi's leg hadn't healed yet, her original plan was ruined.
“I originally wanted to see the ice waterfall, it’s so beautiful.”
Lu Ning could only accompany her in the hotel.
Thinking of what happened last night.
He added WeChat using the number given by Officer Chen and inquired about the progress of the case.
Originally, he had no hope, because the police generally would not disclose the progress of cases under investigation to outsiders. But what he didn't expect was that Officer Chen sent him a photo directly.
The photo shows a man in his forties with a slender face and short hair.
He doesn't look like a good person at first glance.
The police's investigation efficiency was faster than he thought, and the suspect's identity was identified in just one night.
According to Officer Chen, the suspect had just been released from prison at the end of last year and arrived in the city in January. Unexpectedly, another big case has been committed now - the man who was stabbed last night has died after resuscitation failed.
And now there is evidence that the other party killed more than one person, it was simply audacious.
Photos and information of the suspect have been sent to stations, airports and various hotels and hostels.
Later, local TV stations will also release wanted news.
It can be said that it is only a matter of time before he is arrested.
Officer Chen also told Lu Ning that if he saw the suspect, he should not be impulsive and call the police or him directly.
"good."
Lu Ning naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
In Lu Ning's view, after confirming the identity of the suspect, it was a certainty that the murderer would be caught.
The police in our country are not vegetarians.
He no longer took this matter to heart.
But what Lu Ning didn't expect was that he would meet the suspect before he was arrested.
-------------
Lin Meiqi spent two days recuperating in the hotel. After she could get off the road, she clamored to go home. She felt it was too cold here and not fun.
"I have something else to do. I'll go back in a few days."
Lu Ning was still thinking about his experiment, so naturally he couldn't go back with her.
"No wonder you came here as soon as you opened your mouth. Are you here to have a tryst with your little lover?"
Lin Meiqi narrowed her eyes slightly, like Conan who was seeing the truth.
"I'm with you on Valentine's Day. How can I have a little lover? Aren't you jealous?"
Lu Ning smiled.
"Bah, who is jealous?"
Lin Meiqi spat at him.
Lu Ning sent Lin Meiqi to the airport and watched her board the plane.
Then he started to take the car to his original destination-Mozhen.
----------
----------
Mozhen belongs to Linji County, Heijiang Province.
Linji County belongs to the Daxinganling region of Heijiang Province. It is located in the northern part of Heijiang Province. It borders Ergun City, HLBE City, NMG Autonomous Region to the west, Genhe City and Huzhong District, NMG Autonomous Region to the south, Tahe County to the east, and faces Russia's Transbaikal Territory and Amur Oblast across the Heijiang River to the north. It is the northernmost county-level administrative region in my country.
According to the seventh census data, as of 0:00 on November 1, 2020, the permanent population of Linji County was 54,036.
There are only so many people in one county. It can be seen that although the area is vast, most people don't like to stay here at all because of the bad weather.
Because the climate here is very low all year round, it is simply a hell on earth.
Even traveling in winter is difficult.
But what’s interesting is the way people here buy food. Do you think they won’t do business or buy food in such a cold weather?
No, they still sell it.
It’s just that the way they sell it is different.
Passing by a vegetable market, Lu Ning saw that each of them would build a very large plastic shed outside and put a very hot stove inside. This is how they sell vegetables in Dapeng.
After Lu Ning took a few more trains, he finally arrived at his destination - Mo Town.
After arriving here, he turned on his phone and took a look.
Yes, it’s already minus 35°.
However, although the permanent population here is small, some tourism projects have also been developed.
Lu Ning also knew about it before coming here.
There are two natural wonders in Mozhen, namely "White Night" and "Northern Lights".
Hidden deep in the Greater Khingan forest area, the northernmost part of our country, the Heijiang River flows through it, and Russia is on the other side of the river. The weather here had turned dark early in the morning, and Lu Ning was not used to it.
He found a hotel and checked in first. He took out his cell phone and saw that the signal was intermittent.
Naturally, he couldn't take his mobile phone with him when he went to experiment with cold resistance in the ice and snow. Before, he just took out his mobile phone and looked at it a few times, but the battery dropped so much that he almost shut down the phone.
----------
at night.
Outside the quiet village after nightfall, a person was walking on the snow.
Each foot sank deep into the snow.
At this time, the outside world was covered with ice and snow, and the wind was biting. The only beautiful scenery was the stars in the sky above.
I have to say that the starry sky here is really beautiful, like a dream.
As the large tracts of virgin birch forest disappeared behind him and there were no people around, Lu Ning began to move faster, and every step he took was several meters away. If his sight was not so good, he might have covered a hundred meters in one step.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Lu Ning stopped.
He began to take off his clothes. The clothes were as hard as sharp pieces of paper at such a low temperature.
After taking off his clothes, pants and shoes, Lu Ning only left his underwear on and lay down directly in the snow.
Snowflakes were falling in the sky, and they buried him within a short time.
Originally, he planned to lie here all night, but late at night, he was woken up by a familiar smell.
It's the smell of the murderer!
And it was accompanied by a strong smell of blood.
