Chapter 17 Bleeding Staircase
Many people have the habit of counting stairs. If there is no light in the stairwell and when walking down in the dark, they are worried that they will step on the air, so they silently count the steps in their hearts. If they find that one stair is missing, they may feel that they have counted the wrong number.
Every campus has its own ghost stories.
A classmate likes to count stairs. One night, suddenly disappeared. Teachers and students searched all the dormitory building, but there was no trace. Since he disappeared, in the middle of the night, students would hear footsteps coming from the corridor, and some people saw a black shadow walking back and forth in the corridor. Later, when the dormitory building was demolished, people found that there was a boned corpse in the bottom stairs. If a person found that the stairs were one step away when counting stairs, he would replace that stair.
The special case team investigated that the construction party who built the building cut corners and the old building where the case was involved had one staircase missing.
Six police officers from the Public Security Bureau expressed their admiration for Bao Zhan's care. Those who have lived in that building for the rest of their lives do not know that the stairs are one step away. People on the fourth and fifth floors just think that the house they live in is shorter.
Old man Zhang Hongqi was walking on the street with his hands behind his back, wearing the old Zhongshan outfit of the 1960s and 1970s. The topics he talked to other elderly people were old.
The whole building is empty, and the couple on the fourth floor have moved out, leaving only the elderly Zhang Hongqi family.
The old man came back from a walk and stared at a northward window on the old building, where a pot of spider plants were placed on the windowsill.
The old disappeared, where is the new one?
There are no hotels or hotels in this empty city. The places where the lights and wine were bright and wine were 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 empty, so let's live casually. We are neighbors. The special case team found a small courtyard with pomegranate trees and simply cleaned up the room. Six police officers moved in some old furniture, which were left to others when they moved, and there was also a dressing table with the word "happy".
The instructor said: Girl, the conditions are simple and they are all ragged. Don’t dislike it. We can only do this.
Su Mei said: This is not difficult. We have been camping in the wild. Hualong will do a favor and put the dressing table in my room. I will stay in this room.
Professor Liang was sitting on the broken sofa in the living room drinking tea. Baozhan was debugging an old TV. The local cable TV was removed, and many people watched the program with homemade outdoor antennas. Outside the window, a TV antenna was tied to a poplar tree, and several cans were hung on the antenna. Baozhan debugged the angle of the antenna, and he photographed the TV, and the picture changed from snowflakes to news broadcast.
After Hualong lifted the dressing table and lay on the bed, he looked at the ceiling and said: Xiaomei, do you feel like home?
Su Mei wiped the mirror and turned around and asked with a smile: Are you confessing to me?
Hualong said: My feeling about home is that the family is having dinner together, and the news broadcast is broadcast on TV.
Su Mei looked around the room and said with a smile: Then our house is too broken.
Bao Zhan walked in and placed a pot of flowers on Su Mei's dressing table to decorate her room.
Hualong said: Xiaobao, where did you steal it?
Bao Zhan said: No, this is something that others don’t want. It’s about to die. Sister Xiaomei should not forget to water the flowers.
The pot of flowers is about to die at the foot of the wall of the family yard. Some people have left, and some things are kept in the place they were yesterday. The soil in the pot is dry and cracked, the leaves are almost gone, and there is still a remaining flower on the branches, so small and so miserable. A card is inserted in the pot, which says: Happy birthday!
Everyone forgot Su Mei’s birthday. Everyone was busy with the intestinal excavation case. Su Mei naturally had no intention of mentioning it. Only the careful Baozhan still remembered that he might have traveled all over the city but never found a cake shop, nor had he bought a decent birthday gift.
In the evening, the instructor killed sheep and cooked wine, and held a banquet to entertain the special case team.
There is a local delicacy called "Qingquan Lamb". After slaughtering the sheep, soak the mutton in spices and clearquan water all night, and then put the whole sheep into a pot and stew it with more than 30 seasonings and more than 10 medicinal ingredients. The meat is rich in aroma, not smelly or greasy.
As night fell, the stars shone brightly. The poplar trees in the family courtyard of the Public Security Bureau were stewed with an iron pot. The soup was rolling and the firewood was burning. Next to the pot was placed a long wooden table. A policewoman cut off four lamb legs, put them in a wooden basin, and brought them to the table. Each person was divided into a knife to cut the lamb, and then dipped it in salt and spicy sauce.
The local police invited the special case team to sit down. The instructor was hospitality and brought another jar of good wine. This jar was stored in the earthen cellar for many years.
The police wife brought the red dates, the cooked corn and edamames, and everyone drank wine, ate the mutton, and talked about the case while eating and drinking.
Hualong clinked glasses with the instructor and said with a smile: I wish every case analysis meeting was held like this, that would be great.
Professor Liang praised the mutton when he grabbed the mutton: This is the best mutton I have ever eaten.
The instructor said: We have a mutton restaurant here, a roadside stall and a wooden shed. Many people come here to see them, and foreigners are just trying to eat mutton. The big pot has not been turned off for ten years and has been stewing mutton. The old soup in the pot is fragrant. It can attract mice at night, and the wood falls into the pot and it is fragrant when chewed. Unfortunately... it was moved away.
Professor Liang said: Our intestinal extraction case reminds me of a dish.
The police wife asked curiously: What dish?
Professor Liang said: Raw ginger geese intestines, there is such a dish in Chengdu hot pot restaurant. I have witnessed the "Raw ginger" scene in a hot pot restaurant in Zhonghe Town, Shuangliu County. The shopkeeper repeatedly advocated that goose intestines are authentic, and then two live geese came from the backyard. Before the filth on the goose's body was washed, the guy 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 on the ground. After a while, a plate of blood-stained "Raw ginger ginger" was served on the table.
Su Mei said: Damn, it's so cruel. If everyone refuses to eat it, there will be no such cruel dish.
Su Mei glanced at Bao Zhan, and Bao Zhan's face turned red. He didn't know if he was drinking or something else. His eyes dodged and he was embarrassed to look at Su Mei.
Hualong said: It is said that there are two parts of the most painful part of the human body, one is the eyes and the other is the asshole.
The instructor agreed: Those who have had hemorrhoids are all heroes!
Professor Liang said: A shop guy with unfamiliar skills will use a knife or scissors to point the goose's butt around the goose's butt before picking the intestines, and then reach out to go in. The skilled guys will directly dig 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 at that time. As for whether it was a scale hook, she was not sure. At that time, she was fainted by the murderer with a rope. When she was rescued, she was dying, her lower body fell out of her intestines, and her neck was still covered with blood and feces...
A police officer said: Although it has been a few days since the incident, the victim is still unstable, his face is swollen, his two frightened eyes are filled with black and red bloodshot, and the marks on his neck are still clearly visible. When she thinks of this, her whole body twitches and trembles.
Professor Liang said: There is no sign of robbery or rape in this case of intestinal snatching. The purpose of the murderer is to create a terrifying and terrifying case.
Bao Zhan said: Is this a random case or is it planned in advance by the murderer?
The instructor said: I think it is like an occasional case. We have investigated. The working girl has no grudges and no grudges. Who would harm her like this? It’s just that our police force is limited, and it takes time to investigate the suspect.
Professor Liang said: Whether it is an accident or a premeditation, the murderer is already crazy and is about to collapse. I think there must be another one. He will not stop until we catch this damn guy.
Professor Liang suggested that local police mobilize the masses to make up for the lack of police force, form a joint defense team as soon as possible, and recruit
Voluntary patrol personnel should be vigilant, enhance safety awareness, and prevent problems before they happen. Everyone should be full of food and food, ready to leave the table.
Su Mei said: I was very full today, I’m so fed. I’ll take a walk under the moon.
Professor Liang said: Don’t go far, be careful.
Hualong lowered his head and drank a lot of wine. The instructor accompanied him. The two of them drank a lot of wine and said a lot of things.
After a while, Su Mei actually ran back alone in a panic. When she and Bao Zhan walked to the old building where Zhang Hongqi lived, it was pitch black and blood was flowing out of the silent corridor. Bao Zhan was guarding the scene, and Su Mei came back to call people. All the police gathered urgently. The building where Zhang Hongqi lived was not too far from the family courtyard of the Public Security Bureau. Everyone ran forward, worried that the old couple Zhang Hongqi would be killed.
There was a basin filled with blood in the corridor, which had been overturned, and the blood flowed down the gaps in the stairs to the first floor.
Bao Zhan knocked on the door, and the old couple Zhang Hongqi knew nothing about the blood in the corridor.
Old man Zhang Hongqi said that he seemed to hear a sound from outside the door. He thought it was a wild cat and didn't go to see it.
After on-site investigation, someone deliberately placed a basin of blood above the door frame of Zhang Hongqi. A piece of wooden board was inserted into the door frame. The board was very thin and could not withstand the pressure and broke. The basin of blood placed on the board fell down. In some places, the blood had solidified into a blood clot, and it could be judged with the naked eye that it was sheep blood - many people had eaten sheep blood tofu.
Could this pot of sheep blood be put on by the murderer who was intestinal excavator?
In this corridor, a girl was tragically cut off, and the girl's grandparents seemed to be facing some danger now.
Professor Liang said: This is not a prank, but a threat.
Bao Zhan said: No matter who put it, the purpose is - as soon as the door is opened, the blood will pour on the head.
Su Mei said: That's right, the basin of blood fell off early, and the man's trick failed.
The instructor said: Let’s investigate, if someone has killed a sheep recently, you can almost find this person, this washbasin...
The instructor felt that the washbasin looked familiar. He shone it with a flashlight and carefully looked at it, and realized that the washbasin was actually from his own home!
The Public Security Bureau received a special case team and killed a sheep. They had just eaten mutton. The instructor said that the sheep was helped by a fat local chef. After the killing, he gave him the sheep's internal organs and sheep's blood as a reward. Everyone immediately found the fat chef. The fat chef was already asleep. He said sleepyly that he placed the sheep's blood on the cement table in front of the door, intending to move it back into the house when the blood smelled and condensed into sheep's blood tofu, but it disappeared.
Someone stole a pot of sheep blood and placed it above the door frame of Zhang Hongqi's old house.
The special case team and the local police vaguely felt that this person was bold and might be the murderer who was intestinal robbery.
The police told the elderly Zhang Hongqi to be vigilant and not to go out at night or to open doors for strangers.
Old man Zhang Hongqi said angrily: Whoever dares to come, I will sharpen my knife and wait.
The next day, the special case team investigated in detail the case of the stolen blood. What the fat chef said was true. The fat chef was surnamed Sun. This person was originally a chef in the logistics canteen of the oil field. He was kind and had a simple family relationship. His father was in the oil field nursing home. He had been ill for many years, and his children and his wife were in the neighboring city. He lived alone in Yumen Market and spent most of the year living in the wild with the drilling team, cooking for workers.
The next night, the old couple Zhang Hongqi had a family conflict over trivial matters while having dinner. The old man Zhang Hongqi broke up the blame. His wife went to the side food store to buy noodles, but she didn't come back for a long time.
At around 11 o'clock in the evening, the knock on the door sounded. Old man Zhang Hongqi opened the inner door and saw his wife standing outside the iron fence security door.
