Chapter 17 The Bleeding Staircase

Chapter 17 Bleeding Stairs

Many people have the habit of counting stairs. If there are no lights in the stairwell, when walking down in the dark, they are worried that they will miss the step, so they count the steps silently in their mind. If they find that there is one missing step, they may feel

I counted it wrong.

Every campus has its own ghost stories.

A classmate who liked to count the stairs suddenly disappeared one night. Teachers and students searched the dormitory building, but there was no trace. Since his disappearance, in the dead of night, classmates would hear footsteps coming from the corridor, and some people would see a black figure.

The shadow walked back and forth in the corridor. Later, when the dormitory building was demolished, people found a skeletal corpse inside the lowest step. If a person was counting the stairs and found that the stairs were missing a step, he would replace that step.

stairs.

The special case team investigated and found that the construction team that built the building cut corners and the old building where the crime occurred was missing a staircase.

Six policemen from the Public Security Bureau expressed their admiration for Bao Zhan's carefulness. People who have lived in that building all their lives didn't know that the stairs were missing one step. People on the fourth and fifth floors just felt that the houses they lived in were shorter.

Old man Zhang Hongqi was walking on the street with his hands behind his back. He was wearing an old Chinese tunic suit from the 1960s and 1970s. The topics he and other elderly people talked about were all from the past.

The whole building is empty. The couple who lived in the restaurant on the fourth floor have moved away, leaving only Zhang Hongqi's family.

The old man came back from a walk and stared blankly at a north-facing window in the old building. There was a pot of spider plant on the window sill.

The old one has disappeared, where is the new one?

There are no hotels or guesthouses in this ghost town. The place that used to be a bustling place is now full of rubble. The instructor arranged the special case team in the Family Courtyard of the Public Security Bureau. The instructor said: Most of the houses here are vacant. You can live here casually and we will be neighbors. The special case team

We found a small courtyard with a pomegranate tree and simply tidied up the room. Six policemen moved in some old furniture that others had left behind when they moved. There was also a dressing table with the word "hi" on it.

The instructor said: Girl, the conditions are simple and shabby, so please don’t dislike it, we can only make do with it.

Su Mei said: "This is not a hardship. We have also camped in the wild. Hualong, do me a favor and put the dressing table in my room. I will live in this room."

Professor Liang was sitting on the broken sofa in the living room drinking tea, while Bao Zhan was adjusting an old TV. The local cable TV was withdrawn, and many people used homemade outdoor antennas to watch programs. Outside the window, a poplar was tied to a

There were a few cans hanging on the TV antenna. Bao Zhan adjusted the angle of the antenna, and then he patted the TV. The picture changed from snowflakes to news broadcast.

After Hualong finished carrying the dressing table, he lay on the bed. He looked at the ceiling and said: Xiaomei, do you feel at home?

Su Mei wiped the mirror, turned around and asked with a smile: Are you confessing your love to me?

Hualong said: My feeling about home is that the whole family is eating together and the news broadcast is playing on the TV.

Su Mei looked around the room and said with a smile: Then our house is too shabby.

Bao Zhan walked in and put a pot of flowers on Su Mei's dressing table to decorate her room.

Hualong said: Xiaobao, where did you steal it from?

Bao Zhan said: No, this is something that others don’t want. It is going to die. Sister Xiaomei, don’t forget to water the flowers.

This pot of flowers is almost dead at the foot of the family's courtyard. Some people have left, but some things are kept in the same place as yesterday. The soil in the pot is dry and cracked, the leaves are almost gone, and there is still a remaining flower on the branch.

, so small, so miserable, blooming on the branches. There is a card inserted in the flower pot, and the card reads: Happy birthday!

Everyone had forgotten Su Mei’s birthday. Everyone was busy with the case of evisceration. Naturally, Su Mei had no intention of mentioning it. Only the careful Bao Zhan still remembered it. He might have traveled all over the city but couldn’t find a cake shop.

I didn't buy a decent birthday gift.

In the evening, the instructor killed a sheep, cooked wine, and held a banquet in honor of the special case team.

There is a local delicacy called "Qingquan Mutton". After slaughtering the sheep, the mutton is soaked in spices and clear spring water overnight, and then the whole sheep is put into a pot to stew with more than 30 kinds of seasonings, more than 10 kinds of medicinal materials, and the meat.

The aroma is rich and not overpowering or greasy.

As night falls, the stars are shining brightly. There is an iron pot under the poplar tree in the family yard of the Public Security Bureau. A whole lamb is stewed in the pot. The broth is boiling, and the firewood is burning brightly below. There is a long iron pot next to it.

On a wooden table, a police wife cut off four legs of lamb, put them in a wooden basin, and brought them to the table. Each person was given a knife to cut the mutton, and then ate it with salt, pepper and hot sauce.

The local police asked the special case team to sit down. The instructor was very hospitable and brought a jar of good wine, which had been stored in the soil for many years.

The police wife brought red dates, cooked corn and edamame, and everyone drank wine and ate mutton while talking about the case.

Hualong clinked glasses with the instructor and said with a smile: It would be great if every case analysis meeting was held like this.

Professor Liang was full of praise for the hand-caught mutton: This is the best mutton I have ever eaten.

The instructor said: We have a mutton restaurant here, which is just a roadside stall and a wooden shed. Many people come here, including foreigners, just to eat mutton. The big pot has not been turned off for ten years and has been simmering.

When eating mutton, the old soup in the pot is fragrant and can attract mice at night. When the wood is dropped into the pot, it is fragrant when chewed. It's a pity... they moved away.

Professor Liang said: Our intestine removal case reminds me of a dish.

The police wife asked curiously: Dish, what kind of dish?

Professor Liang said: Raw goose intestines are a dish found in hot pot restaurants in Chengdu. I once witnessed the "raw goose intestines" scene in a hot pot restaurant in Zhonghe Town, Shuangliu County. The store clerk repeatedly promoted that goose intestines are authentic raw goose intestines, and then

Two live geese came from the backyard. Before the dirt on the goose was washed, the waiter put his hand into the goose's butt and pulled out the goose intestines. The goose intestines were mixed with blood and feces and were thrown to the ground. After a while, a plate was returned.

The blood-streaked "raw goose intestines" were served on the table.

Su Mei said: Damn, it’s so cruel. If everyone refused to eat it, there wouldn’t be such cruel dishes.

Su Mei glanced at Bao Zhan. Bao Zhan's face was a little red. He didn't know whether he was drinking or for other reasons. His eyes were averted, and he was embarrassed to look at Su Mei.

Hualong said: It is said that there are two most painful parts of the human body, one is the eyes and the other is the butthole.

The instructor agreed: Anyone who has had hemorrhoids removed is a hero!

Professor Liang said: Store clerks who are unskilled will use a knife or scissors to cut a circle around the goose's butt before removing the intestines, and then put their hands in. Skilled clerks will directly remove the intestines.

The instructor said: We sent someone to the oil field hospital and made a new record. The victim Chen Luomo recalled that the murderer used some kind of tool. As for whether it was a hook scale, she was not sure. She was used by the murderer at that time.

The rope strangled her unconscious, and she was dying when she was rescued. Her lower body fell off and her intestines came out, and her neck was still hung with blood and intestines mixed with feces...

A policeman said: Although several days have passed since the incident, the victim is still emotionally unstable, his face is swollen, his frightened eyes are filled with black and red bloodshot eyes, and the marks on his neck are still clearly visible. Thinking of this incident,

Something happened, and her whole body twitched and trembled.

Professor Liang said: There was no sign of robbery or rape in this case of evisceration. The purpose of the murderer was to create a horrific and horrific case.

Bao Zhan said: Is this a random case, or was it planned by the criminal in advance?

The instructor said: I think it looks like an accidental case. We have investigated it and found that the working girl has no grievances against anyone else. Who would harm her like this? It’s just that our police force is limited and it takes time to identify the suspect.

Professor Liang said: Whether it was accidental or premeditated, the murderer was crazy and on the verge of collapse. I think there must be another incident, and he will not stop until we catch this damn guy.

Professor Liang suggested that the local police mobilize the masses to make up for the shortage of police personnel, establish a joint defense team as soon as possible, and recruit

Volunteer patrol officers should be more vigilant, enhance safety awareness, and nip problems in the bud. Everyone has had enough food and drinks and is ready to leave.

Su Mei said: I have eaten so much today, Xiaobao, please accompany me for a walk under the moonlight.

Professor Liang said: Don't go too far, you two, and pay attention to your safety.

Hualong lowered his head and drank heavily. The instructor accompanied him. The two drank a lot and talked a lot.

After a while, Su Mei ran back in a panic alone. When she and Bao Zhan walked to the old building where old man Zhang Hongqi lived, they saw blood flowing out of the dark and silent corridor. Bao Zhan guarded the scene, and Su Mei

The eyebrows came back to call for help. All the police gathered together urgently. The building where Zhang Hongqi lived was not too far from the family home of the Public Security Bureau. Everyone ran there, worried that Zhang Hongqi and his wife would be killed.

There was a washbasin in the corridor that had been filled with blood. It had been knocked over and the blood flowed down the cracks in the stairs to the first floor.

Bao Zhan knocked on the door, and Zhang Hongqi and his wife knew nothing about the blood in the corridor.

Old man Zhang Hongqi said that he seemed to hear a noise coming from outside the door. He thought it was the sound made by a wild cat and did not look at it.

After on-site investigation, it was found that someone deliberately placed a basin of blood on top of the door frame of Zhang Hongqi's home. A piece of wood was inserted into the door frame. The wood board was very thin and could not withstand the pressure and broke. The basin of blood placed on the wooden board fell down.

Where the blood has solidified into blood clots, you can tell with the naked eye that it is sheep blood - many people have eaten sheep blood tofu.

Could this basin of sheep's blood have been put in there by the murderer in the evisceration case?

In this corridor, a girl was brutally disemboweled, and the girl's grandparents now seem to be facing some kind of danger.

Professor Liang said: This is not a prank, but a threat.

Bao Zhan said: No matter who put it there, the purpose was - as soon as the door was opened, the basin of blood would be poured on the head.

Su Mei said: Yes, the basin of blood fell in advance, and the man's trick did not succeed.

The instructor said: If you investigate and find out whose family has killed sheep recently, you can almost find this person and this basin...

The instructor thought the basin looked familiar. He looked at it carefully with a flashlight and recognized that the basin was his own!

The public security bureau entertained the special case team and killed a sheep. They had just eaten mutton. The instructor said that a fat local cook helped butcher the sheep. After killing it, the sheep's internal organs and blood were given to him as a reward.

. Everyone immediately found the fat cook, who was already asleep. He said sleepily that he put the sheep's blood on the cement stand in front of the door, intending to wait until the smell of blood dissipated and condensed into sheep's blood tofu before moving it back into the house.

, but the result disappeared.

Someone stole a basin of sheep's blood and placed it above the door frame of Zhang Hongqi's house.

Both the special case team and the local police had a vague feeling that this person was audacious and might be the murderer.

The police told the elderly Zhang Hongqi to be more vigilant and not to go out at night or open the door to strangers.

Old man Zhang Hongqi said angrily: If anyone dares to come, I will sharpen my knife and wait.

The next day, the special case team conducted a detailed investigation into the theft of sheep blood and found that what the fat cook said was true. The fat cook's surname was Sun. He was originally a chef in the oil field logistics canteen. He was a kind man and had a simple family relationship. His father was in an oil field nursing home and was suffering from...

He has been ill for many years, and his children and wife are in a neighboring city. He lives alone in Yumen City and spends most of the year living in the field with the drilling team, cooking for the workers.

The next night, Zhang Hongqi and his wife had a family dispute over trivial matters while eating. Zhang Hongqi knocked over the pot, and his wife went to the grocery store to buy noodles, but did not come back for a long time.

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on the door. Zhang Hongqi opened the inner door and saw his wife standing outside the iron grille security door.

It was pitch dark in the corridor, and the light from the room shone through the screen window of the iron grille security door on the old woman's face. She actually had one eye open and one eye closed. The open eye had no luster, and her eyes were extremely weird.

, looks terrifying!
