Mei Qian separated from the others and carefully walked around the burning restaurant, heading towards the main building of the Hot Spring Villa.
At first the visibility was adequate under the light of the flames, but once we got down the stairs, we had to rely on night vision to see things.
Contrary to previous guesses, the power outage in the restaurant was not as simple as the wires being burned out. The entire villa was dark, and it was likely that all the circuits had been cut off.
The sense of danger has dissipated, but I don't know whether it was because I escaped from the fire or because the gangsters left after setting the fire.
However, under the super hearing, Mei Qian could only hear his own footsteps and the slightest sound of wind. The more he heard, the more he heard was the occasional sound of frightened small animals moving. He didn't even hear the expected conversation or even the call for help.
He thought for a while, took out a night vision device from the system warehouse and put it on his head.
Mei Qian is not a military fan, he can even be said to be 100% military blind.
Some people may think that it would be cool to collect this kind of military supplies, but they don't like this kind of military supplies that seem to have no aesthetic value. The reason why they received it in the warehouse was entirely due to concerns about their own situation, for fear that they would encounter it again in the future.
I had to make some preparations for going to the tomb in advance.
But I didn't expect to use it at this time.
But at this time, he was not at all grateful for his "foresight", because the further he walked, the more frightened he became.
The entire manor covers a large area and is dotted with many single-story buildings that resemble wooden houses and fairy tales.
He walked around in a complete circle and did not see any human temperature signature in the thermal imaging night vision device.
Finally, they arrived at the main building where they had held a meeting, and scanned it, but found nothing.
At this time, Mei Qian had basically determined that all the remaining staff members had probably been killed.
Because while searching the main building, he smelled a faint smell of blood in the air...
The siren of the fire truck interrupted Mei Qian's search for the body following the smell. He hurriedly put away his night vision goggles and ran out of the building quickly.
At this time, five red fire trucks rushed into the manor and went straight to the restaurant in the back.
From the command vehicle that followed, two middle-aged men, also wearing firefighting uniforms, got off. One was directing the fire fighting, and the other came to Mei Qian, probably thinking that he was a staff member of the villa, and opened his mouth with a series of questions.
After Mei Qian explained the matter clearly, the other party looked obviously surprised. He took his mobile phone from the car and took a look. Sure enough, there was no signal, so he used the car radio to contact the rear and reported the situation here truthfully.
It didn't take long for feedback to come, saying that the alarm had been received and the police were on their way...
-------------
Mei Qian was the last one among the writers attending the conference to go down the mountain. The others met the police at the foot of the mountain in advance, followed by ambulances.
The comatose writers all showed signs of cardiac arrest and were immediately sent to the nearest hospital after initial treatment by doctors.
The remaining people, including several suspects, were taken back to the city on a temporary bus.
By the time Mei Qian left on the mountain, it was already early in the morning.
The young police officer driving the car had a sullen face and had been acting extremely quiet. But after the tenth police car with its siren blaring passed by, he suddenly slapped the steering wheel hard and said angrily: "These murderers deserve to die...
"
Mei Qian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was speechless. He just leaned his head on the back of the seat and stared blankly at the black shadows passing by outside the window.
After waiting for the police at the villa, I followed and saw with my own eyes nine corpses lying in the basement. There were men and women inside. Their limbs were tied tightly like pigs and sheep, and then their throats were cut and their blood spread. The blood spread all over the floor.
, so shocking that even the old detective who took the lead screamed, and Mei Qian almost vomited.
It’s not like I haven’t seen dead bodies, people strangled to death by organs, half-eaten by insects, and he even killed people himself.
But he had never seen such a cruel act of bleeding people like animals, and until he was about to reach the city, he still couldn't calm down.
And just now, we learned from the police call that the writers stopped breathing before the ambulance arrived.
The dishes not only contain sedatives, but also mixed with unknown toxins, which can be fatal.
Among the deceased, there was also a science fiction writer whom he had met several times and had a good rapport with, and whose works were also very popular with him.
In their wild thoughts, they didn't know how long it had been before they arrived at the brightly lit JC Bureau.
As soon as Mei Qian entered, he could see tensed-looking police officers hurriedly passing by everywhere, extremely busy.
In a large conference room, not only did I see several members attending the meeting, but I also found an acquaintance, police officer Zhang Yu...
After receiving detailed inquiries and signing my name on the record, it was already bright outside.
But instead of going home, he was taken to the previous conference room.
The four suspects he injured and subdued suddenly died during the interrogation. The cause of death is currently under investigation.
Of course the police would not suspect him, the victim who came forward, but due to procedural issues, he could not leave for the time being.
However, Zhang Yu seemed to have finished the work at hand. With his red eyes open, he came in carrying two buckets of instant noodles.
"The autopsy is being done as soon as possible over there. It won't be long. Let's eat something first!" He put the instant noodles on the table and took out ham sausage and braised eggs from his pocket.
"Why are you here?" Mei Qian glanced at the things on the table. He hated instant noodles, so he just tore open the package of the braised eggs and ate it in one bite.
"For such a big case, the General Administration immediately formed a special case team, and I was transferred here." Zhang Yu's uniform seemed to have become a treasure bag, and he actually took out several bags of instant coffee.
Originally, Mei Qian didn't have much of an appetite, but after eating the braised eggs, she felt hungry for some reason. Regardless of the fear of being dominated by instant noodles, she followed Zhang Yu and started eating. Not to mention, after not eating for a long time, the taste
Not bad actually.
Next, the two of them drank and chatted about trivial matters, but no one took the initiative to mention the case.
It wasn't until Mei Qian drank all the soup and wiped his mouth with a tissue that he suddenly said: "I feel like these people are here for me!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh?" Zhang Yu was stunned and asked: "Is there any evidence? Why do you think so?"
"Intuition!" Mei Qian frowned. It was indeed just an intuition, stemming from the look in the eyes of those waiters. But after all, there was no direct evidence. Moreover, was he alone worthy of the other party's efforts to kill him? He was now
Shi also had doubts about his previous inferences.
After thinking about it, he said regretfully: "If I had known earlier, I should have questioned those people about their purpose as soon as possible." Unfortunately, now that the person is dead at the police station, it is too late.
"I can't ask anything!" Zhang Yu shook his head: "When those writers came down the mountain, some people couldn't help but ask, and even raised their hands. My colleagues didn't ask anything from those suspects, as if they were...
..." But he stopped immediately.
Mei Qian raised his eyebrows, knowing that the other party was disciplined, so he stopped asking questions. Instead, he walked to the water dispenser and made two cups of coffee, handed one to Zhang Yu, and then said: "Such a serious case is enough for you to keep busy.
.”
"No, almost all the forces have been mobilized now, and helicopters have even been dispatched." Zhang Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, but then changed the subject: "You are worthy of being the ones who wrote the book, your imagination is good. When writing the transcript, you actually
Half of the people thought they were the target of this attack."
When he said this, the muscles on his face twitched, showing an extremely complicated expression that made him laugh or cry: "Some people are suspicious of competitors, some are suspicious of readers' crowdfunding, and some even suspect that editors can't stand his cruel and murderous nature.
Of course, they also mentioned you. They said that maybe the tomb robber gang had hired someone to kill you and silence you. You didn’t think so too, right?"
Mei Qian was taking the coffee to his mouth at this time. Hearing this, he was caught off guard and choked, and a mouthful of coffee sprayed all over Zhang Yu's face...
-------------------
The front-line control personnel seemed to have made progress. Zhang Yu answered the phone with a happy face and left in a hurry.
Mei Qian could only stay alone in the empty conference room, and her cell phone was taken away.
When you are bored, you will inevitably have random thoughts.
As a time traveler, it stands to reason that he should have the fate of the protagonist, but why is he so unlucky? Nothing good happened after he went out several times.
The first time he was tortured and detained, the second time he fell into a tomb, and the third time he was kidnapped. This time it was even more cruel, setting fire and killing people.
Isn’t he the legendary disaster complex?
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Fortunately, time could pass quickly in this state. It seemed that not long after, a police officer came over to inform him that he could go home.
Upon inquiry, we learned that the autopsy results had come out and it was confirmed that the causes of death of several suspects were exactly the same as those of the writer who died before. They all took poisonous drugs, but the dosage was smaller, which was why they died so late.
"The plan was meticulous, poisoning, setting fires, killing people, and fully capable of making everything look like an accident, but S's body was placed in the underground electromechanical room without even hiding it. This was obviously a provocation to the J side.
, it’s a KB attack…”
While passing through the corridor, Mei Qian suddenly heard this loud shouting, accompanied by the sound of banging the table. Obviously, the person speaking inside was extremely angry.
It was just an ordinary seminar, but such a horrific accident happened.
More than a dozen people died overnight. Such a big case before the Spring Festival was enough to alarm the entire Xia Kingdom and have a bad impact. No wonder the people inside were angry.
He originally wanted to continue listening, but a stranger standing here was eye-catching after all. In just a moment, he had already attracted the attention of the police who were passing by, and several scrutinizing eyes were cast on him.
Mei Qian sighed softly, quickened his pace, went downstairs and walked out of the police station door.
It is now eight o'clock in the morning, and fine snow has fallen outside at some point.
As soon as Mei Qian stepped down the steps, she saw Ning Chi leaning on the car and smoking. When she turned around, Maomao and Lu Tianlu also got out of their respective cars and put on a welcoming posture.
After learning that Mei Qian was safe and sound, they were completely relieved. Seeing that he was not in good spirits, they all went about their own business after making an appointment.
"Look, something happened again without me following?" At this point, the roads in Xiadu were extremely congested, and Ning Chi's slowly driving car was forced to stop again. He saw the unhappy look of his boss in the rearview mirror and rolled his eyes.
, began to joke: "Remember to take me with you wherever you go next time."
“Half the bonus will be deducted this month!”
"Why?" Ning Chi turned around.
"Why don't you drive without looking at the road? Come on, the front is already gone and you can't hear the horn behind you?"
Leng Leng succeeded in shutting up Ning Chi with just one sentence, and Mei-Disaster Complex-Qian became angry...
