After Xu Lang received the call from the Chengdong District Criminal Investigation Detachment, he immediately led people to the scene.
The crime scene is located in the southeast corner of Lvshui Park. It is close to the sea. Many people come here for walks and leisure. In addition, there are cafes, Chinese and Western restaurants and other leisure places nearby, so even more people come here.
When Xu Lang and others arrived at the scene, many onlookers gathered around, and the scene of the man's death had been cordoned off. Trace inspection personnel from the Chengdong Criminal Investigation Detachment were conducting inspections at the scene. As for the man's body, it had been taken away by forensic doctors.
gone.
The captain of the Chengdong Criminal Investigation Detachment, whose surname is Fang, is Fang Deren. He is thirty-two years old this year. Not long ago, due to the Chen Jiahe case and changes in personnel within the system, Fang Deren was promoted to captain, which is considered a step up.
Like most police officers who work as criminal police officers, Fang Deren's skin is slightly dark, and his strong muscles bulge out of his police uniform. His face is sharp and angular, and he looks like a tough guy at first glance.
Before Xu Lang and the others arrived, he had been squatting on the spot circled with chalk on the path, frowning in a daze, as if thinking about some difficult problem.
The arrival of Xu Lang and his group naturally attracted the attention of many people. After a brief look around, Xu Lang knew that the scene must have been destroyed. People were coming and going, and it was very empty. Shoe prints and fingerprints were everywhere.
There was basically no need to collect basic evidence, so Xu Lang directly raised the warning tape and entered the scene without wearing any gloves or shoe covers.
"what's the situation?"
Xu Lang stood behind Fang Deren, staring at the approximate appearance of the body drawn in chalk at the time of death, and asked with a frown.
"There was a man about thirty years old who died while running. The reporter was his neighbor named Jia Bingqiu, who lived nearby." Fang Deren heard the voice coming from behind him, and he quickly came to his senses.
He turned around and explained.
"Did you die while running? Was it an accident?"
Xu Lang's frown tightened a little more subconsciously.
Fang Deren looked at Xu Lang, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "It looks like an accidental death, but there are many doubts about the deceased."
"What was the name of the deceased?" Xu Lang asked.
"Qin Fen."
Hearing what Fang Deren said, Xu Lang turned his head and looked at Fang Deren with some dissatisfaction. He was very dissatisfied with the other party's toothpaste-squeezing answer.
Seemingly sensing Xu Lang's dissatisfaction, Fang Deren quickly added: "Qin Fen, male, local, lives in Unit 604, Building B, nearby Lushui Community, single, unemployed."
"Are there any photos of the scene?" After listening to Fang Deren's report, Xu Lang asked again.
"Yes, here."
As Fang Deren said this, he took out his mobile phone, pulled out a few photos, and handed them to Xu Lang.
Xu Lang lowered his head to look at his phone and found that in the photo, there was a thin man with long hair reaching his waist and wearing very inappropriate clothes, lying on the ground. The man's death-like appearance was very hideous, his eyes were wide open, and so was his mouth. It seemed that,
Before he died, he saw something extremely terrifying. The man's face was unshaven, and there were traces of coagulated saliva and blood on the corners of his mouth. Two unopened bottles of alcohol fell next to the man's body.
mineral water.
However, what really caught Xu Lang's attention was the man's shriveled chest. Although the body was laid flat on the ground, the man's chest was very shriveled, giving people an extremely disharmonious sense of déjà vu.
Xu Lang looked at the photo for a while, handed the phone to Fang Deren, then looked at the other person and asked: "This case happened in your jurisdiction, you can just investigate and deal with it, why did you call us to inform us CSY? Is it possible?"
Can’t your Chengdong Criminal Investigation Detachment even solve such a case?”
Xu Lang said this in a somewhat rude tone, and Fang Deren could naturally understand what Xu Lang meant. He shook his head with a wry smile, and handed the phone that Xu Lang had just returned to Xu Lang again.
"Team Leader Xu, I know you CSY are usually very busy, but I can't help it. Look at this."
Xu Lang looked at Fang Deren deeply, and then looked at his phone again. There was still a photo on the phone. The shooting location was obviously not here, but indoors. The photo seemed to be a wall. There were several people on the white wall.
It looks like red fonts written in blood.
"Xu Lang, 4!"
When he saw this photo, Xu Lang's pupils dilated instantly and then contracted. His originally bright eyes narrowed into a slit in an instant, with a little light shining in the slit.
'He showed up again and committed another crime.'
This was the first thing Xu Lang thought of after seeing this photo, and that person was naturally Sun Wenyao, and Xu Lang also knew why Fang Deren informed him and asked CSY to come.
In the case of Yang Rongwei's murder, among the clues the police have, one is 1, while Chen Qiumin is 2, Zou Renjiang is 3, and now Qin Fen is 4. Numbers were found on the scene for all four victims, and the numbers range from one to four.
, it is obvious that the other party is killing people in order. There have been four murders now. As for whether there will be a fifth murder, Xu Lang doesn't know.
“Where was this photo taken?”
Xu Lang's face instantly darkened, he raised his head, stared at Fang Deren and asked.
"In the house of the deceased."
"What's going on?"
Fang Deren explained the situation in detail.
About two hours ago, the nearby police station with jurisdiction over this area received a call from the 110 command center. Someone died in Lushui Park. After the police from the police station rushed to the scene, they found that the deceased was dressed in a strange way, and his death condition was very strange.
Weird, they thought it didn't look like an accident and suspected murder, so the police from the police station contacted the Chengdong Criminal Investigation Detachment.
After Fang Deren received the call, they immediately dispatched the police. When they rushed to the scene, the ambulance was just about to leave and the deceased was already dead. According to the inquiry of Jia Bingqiu, they learned that the deceased was the neighbor of the reporter Jia Bingqiu.
Therefore, Fang Deren and the others immediately went to the deceased's home in Lushui Community to conduct an investigation. They found this mark on the wall of the room. The previous three cases with digital marks were all investigated by CSY. What's more,
Xu Lang's name also appeared on the wall, so he contacted Xu Lang as soon as possible.
When the police arrived at the scene, in addition to the deceased Qin Fen, they also saw the reporter Jia Bingqiu. Jia Bingqiu was in a very bad state at the time. He seemed to be frightened or injured.
The blow made the whole person feel in a trance.
After Jia Bingqiu saw the police, his first words were: "I didn't kill anyone."
After some comfort and persuasion from the police, Jia Bingqiu slowly calmed down. He did not know the name of the deceased. He only knew that he was his neighbor and lived in Unit 604, Building B, Lushui Community. The police
Based on the clue provided by Jia Bingqiu, he immediately rushed to the deceased Qin Fen's home, and found the handwriting on the wall.
After listening to Fang Deren's introduction, Xu Lang frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
After Fang Deren briefly reported what happened, when he saw Xu Lang's gloomy face and solemn expression, he didn't understand what happened and why Xu Lang became like this after seeing the photo.
"Where is the body now?" Xu Lang asked after coming back to his senses.
"Oh, the body was taken to the forensic autopsy room of our criminal investigation detachment." Fang Deren explained.
Xu Lang nodded and turned to look at Qin Mingyue.
Qin Mingyue was not far away from Xu Lang. He heard all the conversations between Xu Lang and Fang Deren clearly. When he saw Xu Lang looking at him, he nodded slightly, picked up the toolbox, turned around and left.
Chengdong Criminal Investigation Detachment, he needs to see the body of the deceased.
After seeing Qin Mingyue leaving, Xu Lang continued to ask: "Apart from the reporter Jia Bingqiu, are there any other witnesses at the scene?"
"Oh, yes, our people have already started visiting and investigating."
Hearing what Fang Deren said, Xu Lang nodded, stood up, and said, "Where is Qin Fen's home? Take me to see it."
"This way."
After Xu Lang stood up, Fang Deren also stood up, walked a few steps quickly, led the way, and led Xu Lang towards Lushui Community.
————
Lushui Community, Unit 1, Building B, Room 604.
A cordon has been set up at the door, and there are many police officers wearing shoe covers and gloves inside the room, who are conducting investigation work at the scene.
The door of Room 604 was open, and when Xu Lang stepped out of the elevator, he smelled an extremely strong odor.
The smell of sweat, the smell of rotten things, and the musty smell of long-term air stagnation. Among these smells, Xu Lang also smelled a faint smell of blood. The mixture of several smells made Xu Lang confused.
Reminds me of the pigsty in the countryside. The smell coming from room 604 is similar to that of a pigsty.
Putting on his gloves, Xu Lang stood at the door, glanced inside the room, and then walked in.
This is a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The house is very big, but the inside is very messy. There are several pairs of shoes on the shoe cabinet at the door whose original color cannot be seen clearly. The shoes are randomly discarded on the shoe cabinet.
The floor that was originally supposed to be white has now turned jet black. If some areas were not covered by stains, the original color of the floor would not be recognizable.
The ground was very dirty, with many things scattered on the ground, including disposable plastic bags, cigarette butts, beer cans, liquor bottles, empty bottles of various drinks, and a layer of dirt made up of unknown materials.
Walking in from the door is the living room. There are two sofas placed in an L shape. The sofas are very dirty and the sofa covers are full of holes. One of the sofa covers has fallen in half. I don’t know if the police officers are investigating the scene.
It was accidentally made like this, or it was originally like this. The original color of the sofa cover could no longer be seen. What Xu Lang saw was black, a greasy black, and there were a lot of messy things placed on the sofa.
There were greasy and yellow towels, stiff socks, and some very baggy clothes. Xu Lang also saw a pair of red men's underwear. The underwear was very dirty, and Xu Lang kept frowning.
In front of the sofa is a coffee table. The coffee table is made of wood and has a thick layer of dirt on it. It looks very greasy and disgusting. There are some fashion magazines scattered on the coffee table, and the magazines are full of clothes.
Pictures of beauties in sexy clothes. Next to the magazine, there was a mountain of ashtrays. Around the ashtray, in addition to falling cigarette ashes and cigarette butts, Xu Lang also saw used toilet paper crumpled into balls.
The toilet paper was yellow and hard. In addition to these things, there were also some snacks and half-drunk beverage bottles scattered on the coffee table.
Some snacks have grown hair, and in the middle is a teacup with a small amount of liquid in it. The liquid is dark brown and there is some substance at the bottom. I don't know if it is tea or something else.
Opposite the sofa is a hanging TV. The TV is turned off, and on the wall behind the TV, there are large characters on the photo that Fang Deren showed Xu Lang before.
There were so many messy things in the room that Xu Lang couldn't even put his foot down. Although he walked very carefully after entering the scene, when he saw those big blood-red characters and walked towards that direction, Xu Lang still stepped on them.
Many things arrived, making ping-ping-pong-pong-pong sounds.
When he first saw those big blood-red characters, Xu Lang thought they were written with paint or something like that. However, after getting closer, Xu Lang smelled the smell of blood. Without asking, Xu Lang knew that this
The words were not written with paint, but with blood. As for whether it was human blood or animal blood, testing and analysis are needed to know the result.
Several characters are written powerfully, especially the word "Xu Lang", which is written in block letters. The person who wrote it must have good calligraphy. In addition to the number "Xu Lang", there is also a very eye-catching exclamation mark at the end.
Obviously, the other party made the exclamation point so big and eye-catching just to attract the attention of people entering the room.
Looking at the words in front of him, Xu Lang frowned and his face was gloomy. When he saw these words, Xu Lang was 100% sure that the person who left these handwritings was Sun Wenyao, because
Xu Lang had seen Sun Wenyao's calligraphy, which was also in block letters.
Xu Lang stood in front of the white wall for a long time, and then he went to another place.
Next to the living room is the dining room. The dining room is just like the living room. It is a mess. There is garbage everywhere. The dining table is covered with a thick layer of dirt. As for the kitchen, Xu Lang has not even gone in. Xu Lang can smell it from a long distance away.
Strong odor.
The door of the master bedroom was open. After Xu Lang walked in, he felt that the light in the master bedroom was very dark. He fumbled and turned on the light in the bedroom. After the incandescent light was turned on, the bedroom was still very dark.
The curtains on the bedroom window are drawn. The curtains are not the light and breathable curtains, but the heavy black curtains. The walls of the bedroom are not white, but painted black and red with red and black spray paint.
The colors are different, and there are various game posters, photos of sexy girls, anime characters, food and games posted on the walls, which is dazzling.
Occupying the largest space in the bedroom was a double bed. The original color of the sheets and quilts was unknown, but what Xu Lang saw was a shiny black color, and there were several holes in the cup, revealing the cotton wadding inside.
.
The bed was messy, like a doghouse, and next to the bed, there was a large wardrobe. Xu Lang walked over and opened the large wardrobe, and found that it was like a garbage dump, with a lot of clothes piled up. Xu Lang picked up a piece casually
, I found that the clothes were very baggy, and they had not been washed for a long time, and they could smell rancid.
The bedroom was as messy as the living room. Xu Lang looked at it for a while and then went to the second bedroom.
Compared with other places, the second bedroom is much cleaner. There is no double bed in the room, but it is filled with a lot of fitness equipment. In the center of the room, there is a sandbag hanging, and in other parts of the room, there are dumbbells.
and other equipment.
If he hadn't seen the mess outside and only looked at the second bedroom, Xu Lang might have thought that the person living here was a guy who was diligent in exercising and keeping fit. However, the situation in other rooms told everyone in the room that
For a person, the actual situation is not like this.
After looking at the master bedroom and the second bedroom, Xu Lang came to the third bedroom.
The door of the third bedroom was closed. Xu Lang unscrewed the door handle and just pushed the door open a crack. Xu Lang quickly closed it.
"boom."
Xu Lang's movements and the sound of closing the door startled the police officers who were working. Fang Deren thought there was some danger inside. He subconsciously took out his pistol and pointed it at the re-closed door, looking at it with vigilant eyes.
door.
"Team Leader Xu, what's wrong? What's going on inside..."
Before Fang Deren finished speaking, he sniffed subconsciously, his brows suddenly tightened, and his expression became weird and complicated.
Because, Fang Deren smelled an extremely strong stench, which was even worse than cesspools and sewers.
"F-t-trough, what's in here? A toilet?"
Fang Deren put down his pistol, covered his nose with one hand, and asked in a sullen voice.
Xu Lang looked at the closed door, then turned to look at Fang Deren, who turned around and went to the bathroom.
The bathroom is the most filthy place in the room. If you don't pay attention to hygiene, it will smell bad. The moment Xu Lang opened the bathroom door, he only took a few glances, and his stomach was churning. He took a few steps back and turned around.
After leaving room 604, he stood in the corridor, breathing heavily. Others had similar reactions to Xu Lang.
The entire room 604 is like a garbage dump, and it is a garbage dump that has not been dealt with for many years. People have no desire to get close, and they can only think of escaping from here quickly.
After Xu Lang took a few deep breaths, Xu Lang subconsciously raised his wrist and sniffed his clothes vigorously. He had been in room 604 for less than twenty minutes. The clothes he had just changed in the morning were already emitting a stench.
