Du Ziqiao led members of the Second Criminal Investigation Team, fully armed, to No. 79 Leyang Street, Chengxi District.
When he arrived at this place, Du Ziqiao found that it was a very old house with a wall more than two meters high, blocking everything inside. The top of the wall was filled with broken glass of various colors.
, under the sunlight, it exudes a faint cold light, and in the middle is a rusty iron door. The iron door is locked by a very thick iron chain. The lock is already rusty, maybe it was damaged by rain some time ago.
Because it has been watered, rust flowers can still be seen faintly on the iron locks and chains.
Du Ziqiao stood in front of the iron gate and looked inside through the gap in the iron gate. Apart from an old-fashioned house, he could only see the overgrown weeds and various garbage in the yard. It seemed that there had been no growth here for a long time.
People have arrived.
Du Ziqiao took out his pistol, turned on the safety, pulled the sleeve of the pistol, and loaded the bullet. Then, Fan Yang put on his gloves, took out the key, walked to the iron door, inserted the key into the keyhole, and twisted it gently.
Turn the key.
Looking at the rusty iron lock, Fan Yang thought it would be difficult to open the iron lock. However, when she inserted the key in, she just twisted it twice, followed by a crisp click sound.
, the iron lock opened. When the other police saw this, they immediately walked over, took off the iron lock and chain from the door, then stretched out their hands and slowly pushed the iron door open.
Du Ziqiao walked in through the opened iron door, holding a gun in both hands and looking around vigilantly to prevent any accidents.
In this way, everyone carefully walked into the courtyard surrounded by high walls.
The ground in the yard is not laid with common flooring, but with old blue bricks. Some of the green bricks are damaged, and some unknown weeds have come out of these gaps. In many cases, people have to sigh at the magic of nature.
, no matter what kind of environment, you can see the existence of these weeds.
The yard is very dirty, with fallen leaves everywhere and all kinds of garbage blown in by the wind. Under the baking of the sun, it exudes an unpleasant smell. After people smell it, they can't help but frown.
.
After Du Ziqiao and the others looked around for a week, they found nothing suspicious and encountered no danger. However, Du Ziqiao did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
A group of people carefully walked through the yard and came to the front of the house. This was an old-fashioned door. The door was locked with a big lock. Like the iron lock on the iron door outside, the door lock was also rusty.
It looks like it hasn't been opened for a long time.
In the express delivery Xu Lang received, there was only one key, and this key was the key to the iron door. As for the key to this door, there was no key. Du Ziqiao looked at the door lock, thought about it, and planned to open the door violently, but instead
Was stopped by Fan Yang.
She walked to the door, took out a tool from the tool box, fiddled with the keyhole of the door lock a few times, and the door lock opened.
"Squeak."
After Fan Yang took off the door lock, he stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.
When the door was pushed open, everyone subconsciously took two steps back, while Du Ziqiao and the others directly raised their pistols and pointed them at the door.
As the door opened, a pungent musty smell emitted from the room, and Du Ziqiao and the others frowned subconsciously.
After waiting for a while, Du Ziqiao and the others did not hear any movement in the room, nor did they find anything unusual. So, their anxious hearts relaxed, and Du Ziqiao took the lead in walking into the room.
The light in the room was very dark, and one could only rely on the light from the door to see the layout clearly. In addition to an unpleasant musty smell, the room was also a bit damp, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Du Ziqiao stood at the door and waited for a while. After his eyes gradually adapted to the light in the room, he could clearly see the layout of the room.
Compared to the mess in the yard, the room looked very clean. Looking from the direction of Du Ziqiao, it was a living room with three sofas, one large, two small and three small. The sofas were not common leather sofas, but wooden ones.
The sofa, I don’t know whether it is because of the light problem or other reasons, the sofa looks a bit dark. In front of the sofa is a coffee table. The coffee table is not made of glass, but wooden. On the coffee table is a set of tea sets with cloth on it.
Full of dust.
Du Ziqiao shifted his gaze and looked in other directions. He found that there was a wooden lounge chair placed in the direction of the balcony, which was also covered with dust. The balcony window was blocked by a thick curtain, making it impossible for outside eyes to see.
The light came in, making the whole room look extremely dark.
There is another door on the left side of the room. The door is closed but not locked. I don't know what is behind the door.
After looking around for a week, Du Ziqiao found that except for a few pieces of furniture, there were almost no modern products in the living room, including no TV. He took steps and walked straight towards the room on the left.
Arriving at the door, Du Ziqiao stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.
The door opened with a slight push, but the unpleasant smell was still there. Compared to the living room, this room was darker. Du Ziqiao stood at the door, holding a pistol in one hand and the other hand on the door.
He groped around on the wall, looking for the light switch.
After groping for a while, Du Ziqiao found the switch. He subconsciously pressed the switch. Originally, Du Ziqiao thought that the light would definitely not light up, but after a crisp sound, the orange light turned on.
It lit up the whole room, and Du Ziqiao subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
After his eyes adjusted to the dazzling light, Du Ziqiao opened his eyes and saw the layout of the room clearly.
This is a bedroom. Apart from a bed, a wardrobe, and a writing desk placed next to the window, there are not many other things in the room.
The quilt on the bed was folded neatly, but it was covered with dust. Maybe it was because it hadn't been taken out to dry for a long time, and the quilt was a little black. Du Ziqiao even found a few holes in the quilt, and mice.
Shit, the holes must have been chewed by mice.
Du Ziqiao briefly glanced at the bed and then looked at the writing table next to the window. The window was closed tightly and the thick curtains were also drawn. There were several books on the writing table. The books were covered with dust and it was difficult to see clearly.
what book.
After discovering that there was no abnormality in the room, Du Ziqiao turned off the safety of the pistol, put the pistol back into the holster, walked to the desk, stretched out his hand and touched it on the desk, and then a very clear mark appeared on the desk, and
Du Ziqiao's fingers were covered with a thick layer of dust. He frowned, twirled his fingers a few times to rub the dust off his fingertips, then stretched out his hand and picked up the top one from the table.
a book.
"Human Psychology", this is the most basic psychology book. Du Ziqiao opened the pages and found that the book was a bit old. There were still a lot of words on the pages. Some places were circled, which should be the previous owner.
Notes taken.
Du Ziqiao flipped through the book roughly and found that there were similar traces throughout the book. Just when he closed the book and was about to put it down, Du Ziqiao saw a paragraph of text on the title page of the book.
"Desire is the source of human suffering. Desire can make people feel happy and joyful. Everyone has their own desires, but my desire is a crime."
The handwriting is very neat and can be seen through the back of the paper. It can be seen that the other party was very careful when writing this paragraph. But when Du Ziqiao saw this paragraph, he did not pay attention to the text itself, but the familiar handwriting. This
It's Zhang Minhao's handwriting.
During this period of time, the police conducted a thorough investigation on Zhang Minhao, including his handwriting, and Du Ziqiao recognized it when he saw this text.
Thinking of this, Du Ziqiao's pupils shrank violently. Then, he picked up several other books on the desk, stretched out his hand to wipe off the dust on the book covers, and found that these books were either psychology or crime books.
There are also books from the police academy. There are traces of outlines and drawings everywhere in these books, but the familiar handwriting appears in front of Du Ziqiao's eyes from time to time. These books are indeed left by Zhang Minhao.
Du Ziqiao put down the books in his hands and looked under the desk again. He found that there were two drawers on the desk. Du Ziqiao stretched out his hand to pull it, but it didn't open immediately. Du Ziqiao was stunned and tried a few more times.
, found that the drawer was locked, so Du Ziqiao shouted outside: "Fan Yang, come here."
Fan Yang was investigating in the living room. After hearing Du Ziqiao's voice, he thought something happened to him, so he quickly put down his work and walked in.
After Du Ziqiao saw Fan Yang come in, he said to her: "Open these two drawers."
Fan Yang looked in the direction of Du Ziqiao's fingers and saw the drawers of the desk. Without hesitation, she immediately took out the tools and worked on the two drawers. After a few clicks, the drawers opened.
There were some old newspapers and the like in the first drawer. Du Ziqiao flipped through it a few times and found nothing useful, so he looked at the second drawer.
In the second drawer, there was a diary. Du Ziqiao quickly picked up the diary, opened it eagerly, and started looking at it.
After looking through it, Du Ziqiao's expression suddenly became very complicated.
There are not many things recorded in the diary. Most of them are words excerpted from books, which have little reference value. After looking through the entire diary, Du Ziqiao discovered several things in the diary.
After Zhang Minhao left the mountain village where he was born, he was sent to an orphanage by Zhang Kaifeng, and this orphanage was the Chengxi Orphanage. In the orphanage, Zhang Minhao lived with many children similar to him for several years.
When he was eight years old, he was taken away from the orphanage by Zhang Kaifeng and went to a strange place. There, he saw many people he didn't know, and these people were all children about his age.
After Zhang Minhao was brought here, he was taken to have a tattoo, and the tattoo was right at the tiger's mouth. It was a scorpion tattoo. After the tattoo was completed, he had no name, only a code name, 58.
In the following time, he lived with other children, and someone gave them special training. As for the content of the special training, there was no record in the diary. He lived here for four years, and finally, once again
After they completed the training, Zhang Minhao and six children about his age were locked in a closed cage with iron bars everywhere. There was no chance of escape. In the cage, there were three weapons and a wooden stick.
A sharp dagger and an axe.
The order they received was to kill each other, and only one of the seven could survive. These seven children had all known each other before, and they were still good friends with each other, but
, after receiving this order, they started fighting.
As for the fighting process, there is no record in the diary, but the result is obvious. Zhang Minhao survived and he won.
Although Zhang Minhao survived, he was also seriously injured. He was then given emergency treatment. When he recovered, he was taken away from the place by Zhang Kaifeng, and then returned to S City to continue living and start school.
Not long after Zhang Minhao went to school, on the way out of school, he saw his father shot to death by a man. He was not far away from them at the time. Zhang Minhao shouted out immediately, but did not rush over.
He just stood there and watched all of this happening coldly.
After the man shot Zhang Kaifeng to death, he got into a car and left. As for Zhang Kaifeng, he fell in a pool of blood, his body twitching violently, but his eyes were looking in the direction of Zhang Minhao, and his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something.
, but, he couldn't say anything, and in the end, he died with his eyes open, and Zhang Minhao never walked over from the beginning to the end.
A few minutes after Zhang Kaifeng's death, a group of people appeared. Zhang Minhao did not recognize them. They came to the scene, threw Zhang Kaifeng's body into the trunk like garbage, took him away from the scene, and walked away. As for them going
Where, Zhang Minhao doesn’t know.
After Zhang Kaifeng died, a man Zhang Minhao had never seen before appeared. He adopted Zhang Minhao and began to take care of him. Zhang Minhao called him Uncle Sun.
Not long after Zhang Minhao entered high school, Uncle Sun disappeared, and another man appeared. Zhang Minhao called him Mr. Chang. Mr. Chang asked Zhang Minhao to apply for the police academy after graduating from high school. As for why he asked Zhang Minhao to do this, he did not record it.
, I don’t know if it’s because he doesn’t know, or because he doesn’t want to write it down.
Zhang Minhao followed Mr. Chang's arrangement and applied for the police academy, and the result was obvious. He succeeded. After graduating, he became a police officer.
In the diary, Zhang Minhao wrote that this place was where he had been living before entering the police academy. After Uncle Sun disappeared, he left here and never came back, and the contents of the diary were only recorded here.
.
After reading this diary, Du Ziqiao fell into deep thought. From the contents recorded in the diary, Du Ziqiao discovered several things.
First, after Zhang Minhao left his birthplace, he first lived in an orphanage in the west of the city for a period of time, and then was taken to a secret place for training by Zhang Kaifeng. When he was twelve years old, he killed six people.
The process was not recorded in the diary, and Du Ziqiao had no way of judging whether the truth was like this. As for the names of the six children killed by Zhang Minhao, there was no record at all, only a few code names, 38, 96, 77, 305, 709, 815.
Second, Zhang Kaifeng, Zhang Minhao’s father, who the police have been looking for this time, is dead. He died ten years ago. As for who killed Zhang Kaifeng and where his body is now, it is not clear at all.
Know.
Third, in the diary, Zhang Minhao mentioned three people, Zhang Kaifeng, Uncle Sun, and Mr. Chang. Zhang Kaifeng is dead and Uncle Sun is missing. As for who Mr. Chang is, there is very little record in the diary, except that such a person appears.
, I don’t know the identity of the other party, but one thing that is certain is that whether it is Zhang Kaifeng, Uncle Sun, or Mr. Chang, they are all members of 'Master Chang'.
Fourth, Zhang Minhao’s choice to become a police officer was not his own idea, but was arranged by others. As for his purpose and motivation, he has no idea.
The emergence of this diary has revealed many things in Zhang Minhao's past, and these things were all things that Zhang Minhao had destroyed before, and they were also things that the police could not investigate. As for whether these things are the truth and whether they are real, it is not yet certain.
, However, what is certain is that Zhang Minhao is a person who has lived within the "Master Chang" organization since he was a child, and he is also a criminal who has been trained since he was a child.
Thinking of this, Du Ziqiao's face turned very ugly. He knew more about 'Master Chang', and at the same time, he also felt a chill. If the people in 'Master Chang' were created in this way, then...
In addition to those before, how many criminals like Zhang Minhao has this organization created? Are there still people from the organization within the public security system?
Du Ziqiao didn't dare to be sure, nor did he dare to think about it.
The Chengxi Orphanage case six years ago shocked the police in City S. In that orphanage that looked like a welfare home, there was a deep evil hidden inside. Originally, they thought they had cracked down.
That orphanage can solve many things. Now it seems that the orphanage is just the tip of the iceberg. And what Zhang Minhao mentioned in his diary is that the mysterious place where he was taken away from the orphanage and went to is the core. So
, where is this place? How many people have lived and received training there?
Everything is unknown.
"ah......."
Just when Du Ziqiao was deep in thought after reading the diary, an exclamation came from outside, and then he heard someone shouting: "Captain Du, come out quickly, we have made a major discovery."
After hearing this, Du Ziqiao ignored other things and walked out of the room with his diary. Looking for the sound, he came to another room. When he walked into the room, he saw a terrifying scene.
