The mother and son lived in a building behind. From their window, they could see the old building where the crime took place. When the child's sister went to the toilet in the middle of the night, she would always look out of the window habitually. Several times,
I saw a person walking in the corridor. Because it was far away and the sky was dark, I couldn't see the person's face clearly. I could only see a vague figure.
The special case team asked the child's sister, who said she had seen him three times in total and felt creepy every time. In one of them, the man seemed to be walking into a dark corridor without wearing shoes.
Bao Zhan left a phone number and told the child's sister to call immediately if he saw anything unusual in the corridor again.
The child's sister said: I have a telescope, police uncle, I will stand guard for you.
The child jumped up to grab the telescope and said excitedly: Sister, I want to see it too.
Murderous demons are actually ordinary people. They pass by us and eat at the same table as us.
The murderer who removed the intestines is hiding in this empty city. He lives very close to the old building where the crime occurred. Because of the limited police force, it is impossible to search for the murderer on a large scale. The special case team and the local police will focus on the crime scene and investigate the surrounding households.
, especially those neighbors who were playing cards downstairs when the crime occurred, all had their fingerprints and palmprints collected, and compared them one by one with the bloody fingerprints in the corridor where the crime occurred.
The special case team analyzed that the criminal motives of these two perverted cases could be characterized as revenge killings, with the ultimate goal being to kill old man Zhang Hongqi. A person's hatred often affects innocent people, so Chen Luomo and her grandmother were killed one after another.
The old man Zhang Hongqi didn't hear the murderer coming downstairs because the man was barefoot and didn't wear shoes.
The murderer's criminal methods were being upgraded step by step. He walked into the corridor and stood barefoot in the corridor with a steel scale in his hand. He could wait quietly for several hours. First, he ambushed the working girl Chen Luomo in the corridor.
, and killed her grandmother.
The murderer was extremely cruel and insane, and in both cases he took out the victim's intestines.
The second case was particularly horrifying. The murderer squatted behind the old woman, supported her body, and knocked on the door. If Zhang Hongqi opened the door rashly, he would probably have been killed.
Zhang Hongqi's wife was killed. When the bad news spread, some immediate family members came to express their condolences. They were all grieved. For safety reasons, a relative wanted to take Zhang Hongqi to live in the new city. The old man refused to move and said he would live here.
He was used to it and didn't like to rely on others. He said stubbornly: No matter who he is, if he wants to harm me, I will wait for him.
The old man polished his kitchen knife and prepared a threaded steel rod to put on the bedside.
The special case team decided to open a breakthrough with the relatives of the old man Zhang Hongqi, and asked in detail who the old man Zhang Hongqi had had conflicts with, and whether any of his enemies were still living in Yumen City. An uncle and brother of the old man Zhang Hongqi provided a clue: Old Man Zhang Hongqi
When he was young, he served as a Red Guard. The Red Guard combat team he belonged to had a poetic name, "Laughing in the Bush."
The Red Guards back then are now middle-aged and elderly, but this huge group seems to have disappeared. No one mentioned what happened back then. They chose to forget.
However, history cannot be forgotten.
Elder Zhang Hongqi chose to remain silent and avoided talking about the events of that year. The special case team asked him several times for questioning, hoping that he would provide clues. Elder Zhang Hongqi actually lied and denied in every possible way. He denied that he had ever been a Red Guard.
Sometimes, we cannot wake up a person who is pretending to sleep.
Bao Zhan said: If it was the victim back then who came to seek revenge now, then the murderer would almost be an old man.
Su Mei said: How could an old man kill one person and seriously injure another? What's more, the victim girl Chen Luomo reported that the murderer was a middle-aged man.
Hualong said: The girl was frightened at that time, and the light in the corridor was dark, so she may have misjudged the murderer's age.
Professor Liang said: Don’t underestimate us elderly people.
If you can stand up, Xiao Bao, you may not be my opponent.
Bao Zhan said: Uncle Liang, how dare I fight with you?
Hualong said: I know an old man who patrols on a voluntary basis every night. Over the past 20 years, rain or shine, he has caught dozens of bicycle thieves alone. The leaders of the Public Security Bureau visit him every year and festival.
Su Mei said: It is also possible that the descendants of the victim are seeking revenge.
Human hatred can last for many years. It can range from crimes to wars.
The murderer Sun Wei was caught stealing melons when he was young. When he grew up, he killed several people who had beaten him; a college student named Zou was expelled from the school for fighting. Ten years later, he committed revenge and stabbed the school leader to death with a fruit knife;
Years after a pair of extramarital lovers broke up, the woman still harbored a grudge against her and would not hesitate to pay for the murder.
The special case team decided to launch an investigation from the outside.
The Yumen City Department Store has ceased operations. Some elderly people gather in the open space in front of the door every day. They sit on the mazar and bask in the sun. One of the elderly people holds a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and reads a passage from the book in a rhythm.
Words: "Above the temples, rotten trees serve as officials; between the palaces and majesties, animals and beasts eat their salary; people with wolf-hearted and dog-like behavior are in power, and servile and servile people are in charge of government..."
Su Mei walked over and said: We are from the Public Security Bureau and would like to ask, have you heard of the "Laughing in the Cluster" combat team?
An old man showed a smile on his honest face and asked: Triad?
Su Mei said: This is not a gangster organization.
Bao Zhan said: They are Red Guards.
Hualong said: Among you, who has ever been a Red Guard?
Su Mei said: We just want to understand the situation, please don’t misunderstand.
The old people all laughed, but no one admitted that they were not very interested in this topic. They picked up their mazars one by one and left one after another. In the end, only the old man who was studying was left. Professor Liang rolled his wheelchair over and chatted for a while.
Three Kingdoms, and then encouraged him to talk about the ten years of catastrophe.
Professor Liang said: I was abroad at that time. Please tell us about your experience and let young people understand it.
The old man who was studying recalled the past and sighed with emotion. He said: In 1957, I was labeled as a rightist and was sent to work on the farm. I used mud to build the wall. From 1957 to 1978, I built the wall for 21 years. I built the wall.
Where are the walls? They build them up and knock them down. They build them up and knock them down. The cycle starts over and over again. The cycle is endless. They just make me work non-stop, trying to exhaust me to death.
Su Mei asked: Are you so perverted?
The old man who was studying said: You young people can't imagine how perverted you were back then. Just because you stepped on a newspaper, you would be criticized and beaten; just because you farted while reading a poem, you committed a heinous crime.
Just because you hang a painting in your bedroom, you are counter-revolutionary, and your father and mother will slap each other; if you have a big butt, you will be slandered as a landlord and will be criticized.
Su Mei said: Are these all true?
The old man studying said: Many people know these things, but they just don’t want to talk about it. There is a small dark room in the Yumen City Auditorium where performance props are kept. This is where the Red Guards criticized and beat people in the past. The blood solidified on the wall, in summer
They are all hairy. Have you, the police, ever seen hairy blood?
Most of the buildings in Yumen City maintain the style of the 1960s and 1970s, which are very old. There are still a large number of old bungalows from decades ago. The special case team found this auditorium that the old man who studied there talked about.
The auditorium back then has become an abandoned sawmill, and the old house is empty, as if it has been waiting for someone to arrive. Some wet sawdust is scattered on the ground, the traces of old slogans on the wall are blurred, and the blood on the hair has long been
Disappear.
The special case team and the local police expanded the scope of the investigation, focusing on the elderly population of the city. The murderer was probably an old man who was persecuted by Zhang Hongqi during the "Cultural Revolution". The hatred left over from history is like a deeply buried bomb. Although
After decades, the outbreak is still possible. Palmprint comparison work was carried out at the same time, but the results were disappointing. After comparison, the palmprints and corridors collected by the police
None of the bloody fingerprints found there matched.
The case is at a deadlock, with no light in sight, and all the police can do is wait.
A few days later, a boy went to the toilet in the middle of the night. He rubbed his eyes and saw the curtains of a house upstairs moving. The child woke up his sister, who was also surprised. Who would touch the curtains in the middle of the night?
I thought it was caused by the wind, but the windows of that house were closed and the glass was intact. It could only be that someone touched the curtains inside, as if someone patted the curtains with their hands, and then patted them again after a while, repeating this
action.
That window is the bedroom of old man Zhang Hongqi.
My sister immediately reported the abnormal situation on the phone, and the special case team and six local police officers rushed over. When they went upstairs, they saw an extremely bloody and perverted scene.
The door was open, the ceiling fan in the bedroom was spinning, and a naked old man fell in a pool of blood. A whole set of human intestines and stomachs were hung on the ceiling fan, and intestines were wrapped around the bearings. Blood drops were scattered all over the room, on the walls, and on the floor.
There were blood stains all over the wooden side chairs. The ceiling fan was rotating slowly, with a piece of intestine hanging on the fan blades, and a human stomach hanging from the bottom. The hanging intestines were spinning in the air, swinging back and forth, constantly.
Twitch the curtains.
Hualong turned off the ceiling fan, and the fan blades slowly stopped rotating. His stomach dropped, and some mucus came out. This was porridge that had not been fully digested, and there were still some corn kernels in it.
Su Mei felt nauseous and couldn't help but want to vomit. She also drank polenta for dinner.
The old man Zhang Hongqi was killed. His lower body was hooked open by an iron hook. The murderer took out his intestines and wrapped them around an electric fan. Because of the fan, the stomach pouch was forcibly pulled out of the body.
The scene was horrific. Bao Zhan noticed that the screen window of the iron grille security door had been set on fire and some foam plastic had been stuffed in it. This should have been done by the murderer. He deliberately set the fire and thick smoke entered the room. Old man Zhang Hongqi opened the door to check and put out the fire.
The murderer also took the opportunity to enter the room and kill him.
There were obvious signs of struggle at the murder scene, and the murder weapon was left at the scene. It was an iron hook for hanging pork, which can be seen at the pork stall in the country market.
The threaded steel rod used by Zhang Hongqi for self-defense fell to the ground, and there were blood stains on the kitchen knife, which indicated that the murderer was injured during the fight.
Professor Liang picked up the kitchen knife, looked at it, and said, "Everyone should go after him immediately. The murderer is injured and will definitely not be able to run far!"
Professor Liang and the instructor stayed at the scene, and the others quickly started searching with flashlights. Hua Long found some blood stains in the corridor. It seemed that the murderer was seriously injured. Bao Zhan also found a few drops of blood at the base of the wall downstairs. Several policemen
Thinking that the murderer's escape route was ahead, he ran and chased him with a flashlight.
Bao Zhan dipped his fingers into the blood, smelled it, looked up, and shouted: Come back, don't chase that way.
Several policemen hurried back and wondered why. Bao Zhan whispered: This is not blood, it is water.
In the dark night, it was indeed difficult to distinguish between blood stains and water. A policeman muttered: Strange, it hasn't rained in the past few days, where did the water come from?
Bao Zhan motioned for everyone to be silent. He pointed upward. There was a flower pot on the windowsill on the fourth floor. When old man Zhang Hongqi came back from a walk, he would always take a look at a window upstairs. There was a pot of spider plant on the window sill.
.Obviously, the water at the base of the wall downstairs dripped from the flower pots.
Except for Zhang Hongqi, all the residents in this old building have moved out. The residents handed over their keys when they moved, and they were kept by the neighborhood committee. After the incident, the local police searched every room in this building.
Nothing suspicious was found. However, now, there are people watering the flowers in the room that should have been empty. This is a very strange thing. There is only one possibility. After the crime, the murderer moved in again and lurked around.
The house where the building was moved out.
The murderer is hiding in this building!
All the police immediately rushed to the fourth floor, drawing dragons, Bao Zhan, and Su Mei all took out their guns. Everyone stood in front of the door, ready to rush in.
The door was not closed, but a gust of wind blew by, and the door opened slowly.
