Chapter 19     The stomach and stomach in the air
The mother and son live in a building behind. From the window of their house, you can see the old building where the crime occurred. When the child's sister went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, she always looked out the window habitually. A few times she saw a person walking in the corridor. Because the distance was far and the sky was dark, she couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, and she only saw a figure in a vague way.
The special case team asked the child's sister. The child's sister said that she had seen it three times in total, and she felt creepy every time. One of them, the man seemed to be wearing shoes and walked into the corridor of the black penis.
Bao Zhan left a phone number and told the child's sister that if he saw something abnormal in the corridor again, he would call immediately.
The child's sister said: I have a telescope, uncle police, I'll keep watch for you.
The child jumped up and grabbed the telescope and said excitedly: Sister, I want to see it too.
The murderous demons are actually ordinary people. They pass by us and eat with us at the same table.
The murderer was hiding in this empty city. The place where he lived was very close to the old building where the crime occurred. Because of the limited police force, it was impossible to search for the murderer on a large scale. The special case team and local police focused on the location of the crime, focusing on the surrounding residents, especially the neighbors who played cards downstairs at the time of the crime. All of them collected fingerprints and palm prints and compared them one by one with the bloody handprints in the corridor where the crime occurred.
The special case team analyzed that the criminal motives of these two perverted cases can be characterized as retaliation and murder, and the ultimate goal is to kill the elderly Zhang Hongqi. A person's hatred often affects the innocent, so Chen Luomo and her grandmother were killed one after another.
Old Man Zhang Hongqi did not hear the sound of the murderer going downstairs, because the man was barefoot and did not wear shoes.
The murderer's criminal tricks are escalating step by step. He walked into the corridor, stood barefoot in the corridor, holding a scale in his hand. He could wait quietly for several hours. First, he ambushed the working girl Chen Luomo in the corridor, and then killed her grandmother.
The murderer was extremely cruel and crazy, and both cases took out the victim's intestines.
The second case was particularly terrifying. The murderer squatted behind the old woman, held her body and knocked on the door. If the old man Zhang Hongqi rashly opened the door, he might have been killed.
When Zhang Hongqi's wife was killed, bad news spread, and some immediate relatives came to pay their respects, and they were all very sad. For safety reasons, a relative wanted to take Zhang Hongqi to the new city to live, but the old man refused to move. He said that he was used to living here and did not like to live under someone else's roof. He stubbornly said: No matter who he is, he wants to harm me, I will wait for him.
The old man polished his kitchen knife and prepared a rebar on the head of the bed.
The special case team decided to open a breakthrough in the relatives of Zhang Hongqi and asked in detail who had conflicts with Zhang Hongqi and whether there were enemies who were still living in Yumen. One of the uncles and brothers of Zhang Hongqi provided a clue: Zhang Hongqi was a Red Guard when he was young, and the Red Guard combat team he was in had a poetic name, called "Congzhongxiao".
The Red Guards of the past are now middle-aged and elderly, but this huge group seems to have disappeared, and no one mentioned the matters back then. They chose to forget.
However, history cannot be forgotten.
Old Man Zhang Hongqi chose to remain silent and avoided talking about what happened back then. The special case team asked him several times, hoping that he would provide clues. Old Man Zhang Hongqi actually lied and dented everything, and he denied that he was once the Red Guards.
Sometimes, we can't wake up someone who pretends to be asleep.
Bao Zhan said: If it was the victim of that year and now he is taking revenge again, then the murderer will be almost an old man.
Su Mei said: How could an old man kill one person and seriously injure one person? What's more, the victim's girl Chen Luomo reported that the murderer was a middle-aged man.
Hualong said: The girl was frightened at that time, and the dark light in the corridor may have misjudged the murderer's age.
Professor Liang said: Don’t underestimate us elderly people, I
If you can stand up, you may not be my opponent.
Bao Zhan said: Uncle Liang, how dare I fight you?
Hualong said: I know an old man who patrolls voluntarily every night. For 20 years, he has caught dozens of thieves stole bicycles alone. The leaders of the Public Security Bureau visited him every holiday.
Su Mei said: It is also possible that the descendants of the victim seek revenge.
Human hatred can last for many years, from crime to war.
The murderer Sun Wei was arrested when he was young. When he grew up, he killed several people who beat him. College student Zou was expelled from the school for a fight. Ten years later, he retaliated against and stabbed the school leader to death with a fruit knife. After a couple of extramarital lovers broke up, the woman was always worried and did not hesitate to buy murder.
The special case team decided to launch an investigation from the outside.
The department store in Yumen City has stopped operating. There are elderly people gathering in the open space in front of the door every day. They sit on the horses and bask in the sun. One of the elderly holds the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and reads a passage from the book: "In the temple, rotten wood is the official, and between the palaces, beasts eat and pay; people who are wolves and dogs are in power, and those who are servile and servants are in power, and they are all in power..."
Su Mei walked over and said: We are from the Public Security Bureau. I want to inquire. Have you heard of the "Congzhongxiao" combat team?
An old man smiled on his honest face and asked: Underworld?
Su Mei said: This is not a gang organization.
Bao Zhan said: It was the Red Guard.
Hualong said: Who have ever been the Red Guards?
Su Mei said: We just want to understand the situation, so don’t get me wrong.
The old people laughed, but no one admitted that they were not very interested in this topic, so they moved one by one and left one after another, and in the end they were the old man who was studying. Professor Liang shook his wheelchair over to chat. He first chatted a few words about the Three Kingdoms, and then encouraged him to talk about the period of the ten-year catastrophe.
Professor Liang said: At that time, I was abroad. You can tell us about your experience and let young people understand it.
The old man who was studying recalled the past and sighed. He said: In 1957, I was labeled as a rightist and sent to the farm to work. I built walls with mud, and from 1957 to 1978, I built walls for 21 years. Where was the wall I built? I built up and pushed down, and it started over and over again, and the cycle was endless. They made me work constantly and wanted to exhaust me.
Su Mei asked: So perverted?
The old man who was studying said: You young people can't imagine how perverted you were at that time. Just because you stepped on a newspaper, you would be criticized and beaten; just because you farted while reciting a poem, you would commit a heinous crime; just because you hung a painting in the bedroom, it would be counter-revolutionary, and your father and your mother would slap each other; if you had a big butt, you would be slandered as a landlord and criticized and fought.
Su Mei said: Are these all true?
The old man who was studying said: Many people know these things, but they just don’t want to say them. There is a small black room in the Yumen City Auditorium, where performance props are placed. It is the place where the Red Guards criticized and beat people back then. The blood solidified on the wall has grown hair in summer. Have you ever seen the blood of long hair?
Most of the buildings in Yumen City maintain the style of the 1960s and 1970s, and are very old. There are still a large number of old bungalows and houses decades ago. The special case team found the auditorium mentioned by the old man in school.
The auditorium at that time had become an abandoned sawmill. The old house was empty and seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive. Some wet sawdust was scattered on the ground, the traces of the old slogans on the wall were blurred and difficult to distinguish, and the long haired blood had long disappeared.
The special case team and local police expanded the scope of investigation and focused on investigating the elderly population in the city. The murderer was probably an elderly person who was persecuted by Zhang Hongqi during the Cultural Revolution. The hatred left over from history was like a deep-buried bomb. Although it was still possible to explode after decades. The palm print comparison work was carried out at the same time, but the result was disappointing. After comparison, the palm prints and corridors collected by the police.
None of the bloody handprints found in it matched.
The case was deadlocked and there was no light at all. All the police could do was wait.
A few days later, a boy went to the bathroom in the middle of the night. He rubbed his eyes and saw the curtains of a family upstairs moving upstairs. The child woke up his sister, and his sister 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 the family were closed and the glass was intact. Only someone touched the curtains inside, just like someone patting the curtains with his hand, and then again after a while, repeating this action.
That window is the bedroom of Mr. Zhang Hongqi.
My sister immediately reported the abnormal situation by phone. The special case team and six local police officers rushed over. After they went upstairs, they saw an extremely bloody and perverted scene.
The door was open, and the ceiling fan in the bedroom was spinning. An old man fell in a pool of blood. The ceiling fan actually had a whole body of human stomach and intestines hanging on it. The bearing was wrapped around the intestines, and blood dripped all over the room. On the walls and the ground, there were blood stains on the wooden chairs, and the stars were dotted. The ceiling fan was slowly rotating, and a piece of intestine was hanging on the fan blade, hanging on the bottom. The hanging intestines turned around in the air, swaying around, constantly twitching the curtains.
Hualong turned off the ceiling fan, the fan blades slowly stopped rotating, the stomach drooped, and some mucus flowed out. This was porridge that had not been completely digested, and there were some corn kernels in it.
Su Mei felt nauseous and couldn't help but want to vomit. She also drank corn porridge during dinner.
Old man Zhang Hongqi was killed, and his lower body was hooked with an iron hook. The murderer took out his intestines and wrapped them onto the electric fan. Because of the fan, he pulled out the stomach capsule from his body.
The scene was terrible. Bao Zhan noticed that the screen window of the iron fence security door was lit and some foam plastic was stuffed. This should have been done by the murderer. He deliberately set fire and thick smoke entered the room. Old man Zhang Hongqi opened the door to check and put out the fire. The murderer also waited for an opportunity to enter the room and killed him.
There were obvious signs of fighting at the murder scene, and the weapon was left at the scene. It was an iron hook with pork hangings, which can be seen at the pork stall in the rural market.
The rebar used by Zhang Hongqi to defend himself fell to the ground, and there was blood on the kitchen knife, which indicated that the murderer was injured during the fight.
Professor Liang picked up the kitchen knife and looked at it, saying: Everyone will chase after you immediately, the murderer is injured, and he will definitely not run far!
Professor Liang and the instructor stayed at the scene, and the rest quickly launched a search with flashlights. Hualong found some blood in the corridor. It seemed that the murderer was not seriously injured. Bao Zhan also found a few drops of blood at the base of the wall downstairs. Several police officers believed that the murderer's escape route was ahead, so they ran and chased him with flashlights.
Bao Zhan dipped his fingers in blood, smelled it, he looked up and shouted loudly: Come back, don't chase over there.
Several policemen hurriedly ran back, but they didn't understand the reason, Bao Zhan whispered: This is not blood, it is water.
In the dark night, blood and water were indeed difficult to distinguish. A policeman muttered: Strange, it has not rained these days, where did the water come from?
Bao Zhan signaled everyone not to speak. He pointed above, there was a flower pot on the windowsill on the fourth floor. When Mr. Zhang Hongqi came back for a walk, he would look at a window on the upper floor, which was a pot of spider plants on the windowsill. Obviously, the water at the bottom of the wall downstairs dripped from the flower pot.
Except for the old man Zhang Hongqi, all the residents in the old building moved away. The residents handed over the keys when they moved, and were kept by the neighborhood committee. After the incident, local police had searched every room in the building and found no suspicious points. However, now, in the room that should have been empty, someone watered the flowers, which is very strange. There is only one possibility. After the incident, the murderer lived in again and lurked in the house that moved out on the fourth floor.
The murderer is hiding in this building!
All the police immediately rushed to the fourth floor, Hualong, Baozhan, and Su Mei took out their guns, and everyone stood in front of the door and prepared to rush in.
Chapter completed!
