early morning.
Police station, conference room.
The sunlight illuminated the dark circles under the eyes of colleagues in the conference room. Everyone was sitting awkwardly, but no one cared. Everyone was anxiously staring at the blackboard in the conference room.
There are three eye-catching photos on the blackboard in the conference room. They are of Wang Sanbei, Li Qiqi and the latest Zhang Chao family. They point in the direction of a single arrow from Wang Sanbei to Zhang Chao.
Just now, this incident changed from a "suicide" case to a "homicide" case. Two unrelated people were connected in a strange way.
Obviously, this is a "contagious" killing sequence. People who appear in other people's houses will die soon, and the owner of the house becomes the next target of death.
This is the most provocative murder method used by the police in Tangcheng in the past twenty years. They must solve this case as soon as possible, and because of the special nature of this case, it brings great pressure.
"Officer Chen, do you think this murderer wanted to mislead us deliberately? Because this action is meaningless, it would be much more convenient to kill the person directly."
A police officer spoke up and expressed his own opinion:
"And people are different. How does the murderer ensure that all victims can complete the same steps?"
"Strange, really strange..."
The conference room was speechless for a moment. Everyone was affected by this strange clue. The more some people thought about it, the more goosebumps they got.
Although no one said it clearly, all the clues pushed in one direction——
Damn it.
If it wasn't a ghost, how could such a complicated thing happen?
Chen Xuan clutched his pen and looked at the blackboard, holding his chin and frowning. Even Chen Xuan had to admit that among all the previous cases, none was as weird as this incident.
Weird rituals, cruel death, especially the forbidden words on that piece of paper.
Chen Xuan couldn't help but think of the fear in Li Qiqi's pupils in the early morning. She should know what she wrote, but she couldn't say anything.
There are many things in this world that make people shut up, but what method is used to silence people in such a weird way?
Things seem to have come to a standstill, but everyone is not discouraged. The reason why the evil-god mentality is not practical now is because this is an information age, and the eyes of the sky are everywhere.
"Officer Chen, people from the Information Department found the surveillance camera that filmed Li Qiqi!!"
A joyful voice came, and the technician was sent to the conference room with a laptop. Everyone's tired expressions finally cheered up!
"Look!"
Although the surveillance video can only explain how Li Qiqi traveled so far to Zhang Chao's home, everything is difficult at the beginning, and having clues is the first step to solving the incident.
"But the video is a little weird."
The technician who was following her added something at this time. She looked a little confused and couldn't explain clearly at the moment. She simply controlled the computer and played the surveillance——
This is a surveillance camera at a crossroads. It is not far from Li Qiqi’s home. There are not many vehicles at night. Not long after, Li Qiqi’s figure appeared at the crossroads. She closed her eyes and wore her sleeping pajamas. , quietly waiting for the traffic light, and with the light of vehicles passing by on both sides, she began to walk towards the other end. What's more eye-catching is that her body is a little buoyant, and every step she takes seems to be on tiptoes, making her look light and airy.
"It seems that Li Qiqi is indeed sleepwalking. People who sleepwalk have a tendency to lean forward when walking... However, this video still cannot explain how she walked into other people's homes, and... this What’s weird about the video?”
If it was just sleepwalking, everyone already had the preset in mind, so naturally they wouldn't find it strange. But soon, the technicians called up another video.
"You will know after watching this video."
Switching the video, it's still the same street, but at a 90-degree angle, facing the intersection where Li Qiqi just walked out.
The video started playing and the same time came, but Li Qiqi did not appear on the video.
Everyone sat up straight, time was passing by, but Li Qiqi never appeared in the picture.
"Didn't this video capture Li Qiqi's whereabouts?"
Chen Xuan frowned and stared at the screen. He seemed to have seen something, but the disbelief in his pupils kept him silent. The other police officers didn't know why. The same person on the same road section at the same time. But disappeared under different surveillance.
"How can this be?"
"What about other surveillance?"
In the third surveillance video, the video was rotated ninety degrees again and changed to another direction. This time, Li Qiqi appeared in the video, but she looked particularly thin.
"Why does it feel like she has lost so much weight...Does Li Qiqi look that thin?"
"Yes... when we exported, we also felt that Li Qiqi's performance in the video screen was not in line with the proportions of the human body... Could it be that there was a malfunction in the monitoring, maybe the monitor on the street where the murderer was on I did some manipulation to make the video look like this."
This seems to be the most reasonable explanation.
But Chen Xuan shook his head.
"impossible."
Chen Xuan sighed and pressed the pause button:
"You see, there are no such problems with the cars and people on the roadside, which means there is either a problem with the picture, or someone sneaked into the police station and edited the video."
"Let's not find out whether there is anything wrong with the video. Let's first clarify what this picture actually expresses."
Chen Xuan clarified the direction again. Even if it was a wrong clue, it was still a clue and had its own meaning.
"Then Officer Chen, what does this picture mean?"
A curious baby stretched out his hand and asked, and Chen Xuan looked at the video again and said in an extremely uncertain tone:
"I'm not sure...but I've seen a case before where a person was flattened by a roller."
"Plain flat..."
"Look."
"What Li Qiqi sees from the side is the complete appearance, but nothing can be seen from the front."
Chen Xuan picked up an A4 paper and displayed it from the front and side.
"And the sides of the paper are also intact, while the front is undetectable."
"In other words, when Li Qiqi was sleepwalking, she turned into a piece of paper."
Chen Xuan took the paper, walked to the window, and stuffed it through the gap.
"So, she can go through doors, through walls, through cars, through all obstacles."
"Because even from a molecular perspective...there are gaps."
Go through the gap.
Everyone touched their arms simultaneously and looked at Li Qiqi on the screen, feeling a continuous chill in their hearts.
The atmosphere in the room dropped a bit, and everyone was speechless for a moment.
But what Chen Xuan and the others didn’t know was that,
The people here are analyzing the incident and the video.
And Li Qiqi over there...
