The safe house arrived quickly.
Lu Wen looked around through the car window. There were many places suitable for lurking.
There were some hidden cameras, and even he almost didn't notice them.
Since the first car was the Executive Bureau's car, we changed to another car midway.
Lu Wen parked the vehicle on the side of the road, got out and said, "In fact, there is a high probability that the murderer knows the movements of the Executive Bureau. No matter how much disguise he makes, it will not help. What is supposed to come will still come."
"I'm just waiting for him to come."
Wei Boyan took Jiang Yun's collar, got out of the car, and closed the door.
This was the first time they had an advantage after the case occurred. The murderer left clues at the doctor's house. Before they could take action, the two of them took the lead and found the next target.
This is considered a relatively small success.
Wei Boyan took Jiang Yun to the door of the safe house.
He stretched out his hand and was about to open the door when Lu Wen suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a minute, I'll open the door!"
Wei Boyan was startled, and then retracted his hand.
He understood what Lu Wen meant.
Most people with a military background know how to set up simple traps, such as trigger-type traps. Many traps are at the door.
The moment you open the door, you are likely to be greeted by a bullet.
Lu Wen walked up to the two of them.
He took the key from Wei Boyan.
"Click."
The key turned and the door opened.
Lu Wen slowly opened the door.
Safety.
Nothing else happens.
"There was no dust deposited when the door was opened. Do you often send people over to clean the safe house?" Lu Wen asked.
"Yes, it will be cleaned once a month or so."
Wei Boyan's words dispelled Lu Wen's worries.
It seems that the murderer has never been here.
The three of them entered the house one after another.
Many furniture were covered with white plastic sheets, which reminded Lu Wen of Li Meng's home.
"Sir, I'm quite dirty and want to take a bath. Is there hot water here?" Jiang Yun asked.
"Wait a minute, I'll go take a look."
What Wei Boyan looked at was not the hot water, but the location of the bathroom.
"There are no windows, and there are no signs of the ceiling being opened. It's safe. You can go wash it."
There must be hot water, after all, the safe house can be used as a long-term residence.
The two of them were sitting on the sofa.
The position of the sofa is at an angle to the window. If there is a sniper outside, it will be difficult to shoot from this angle.
Wei Boyan boiled some water, took out a bag of tea, and said, "Would you like some? The tea can help you calm down and concentrate."
Lu Wen waved his hand, "Forget it, I can't taste it."
The green tea leaves rise and fall in the hot water in the glass, and the water vapor curls up.
"Waiting for the murderer here, the people I arranged are already in place. If he really dares to come, he will fall into a trap." Wei Boyan said, blowing on the tea gently.
"There is also another possibility that the murderer will skip the fourth target and go directly to the next target."
But neither of them had much to worry about.
Everyone involved in that case twelve years ago is damn dead.
The remaining one was protected by them.
As for the next goal…
It can only be the real murderer back then.
"If the murderer could help us find the real murderer, it would save a lot of effort." Lu Wen leaned on the sofa and went over all the details of the case.
It seems to be almost over.
If the murderer's target is really just the people related to the original case, then this matter is nearing its end.
In fact, there are many others.
The judge who pronounced the verdict at the beginning, the other witnesses who appeared in court, friends of both parties, etc., but Wei Boyan has all asked people to investigate them, and the information is now being transmitted one after another.
Judging from the known information, there is nothing wrong with those people.
The murderer will only kill people whose crimes could lead to death in that case.
The two sat on the sofa and waited.
Time passed by minute by minute.
News from the outside world keeps coming.
"Colleagues in District 12 have not yet found the source of those drugs. There are not many valuable clues left at the crime scene. It can be said that there are none. Several Internet geniuses in our district are working hard to investigate the relevant cases that year. There is currently no personnel information..."
"Wait." Lu Wen suddenly stood up from the sofa.
"What's wrong?" Wei Boyan looked at him.
"How long has Jiang Yun been taking a shower?"
The sound of water in the bathroom still continued.
But these sounds are very regular and have not changed for a long time.
Lu Wen kept listening to the sound of water while thinking about the problem. The changes that had not happened for a long time made him suspicious.
"Dong dong dong..."
He knocked on the door.
No one responded.
"boom!"
Lu Wen kicked the door open.
…
…
More than ten minutes later.
Jiang Yun's body was transported away.
he died.
Hanged himself in the bathroom.
Step on the toilet, tie the belt around the tallest shower head, and stick your head in.
The skinny man swayed gently in the sound of water.
I don’t know what he was thinking before he died.
Is it true regret.
Or just because you feel powerless in life, choose to end your life.
"The fourth goal."
Lu Wen stood at the door of the safe house and looked at the corpse truck going away.
Didn't wait for the murderer to take action.
Perhaps everything had already been planned by the murderer.
The analysis of human nature and the control of time are all just right.
"This was the prison guard who was responsible for guarding Jiang Yun at that time."
Wei Boyan introduced someone to Lu Wen.
During the more than six years that Jiang Yun had been imprisoned for negligent homicide, this person had been responsible for guarding him, and he also helped handle the final release procedures.
"Jiang Yun looked fine when he was released from prison. I gave him a thousand yuan for travel expenses and told him to live a good life."
According to the guard, Jiang Yun's mental condition in prison was pretty good.
Far from what it is today.
"I don't know what he has been through in the past six months."
Discipline's words aroused Lu Wen's thoughts.
He looked pretty good when he was released from prison.
And in the past six months... I have completely lost the idea of living, like a walking zombie, waiting for the sentence of death every day.
Jiang Yun said it before.
For six months after he was released from prison, he often dreamed of the couple and the two children.
Maybe that's not a dream!
Since the murderer knows how to prepare potions, there is a high probability that he will prepare some hallucinogenic psychotropic drugs.
"Let's go to Jiang Yun's room. We may have missed something just now!"
The two said goodbye to the discipline and returned to the car.
For a short time before, they thought they were in front of the murderer.
But in the end it was all in vain.
"Since the murderer will kill them one by one, what's the use of leaving clues for us?" Wei Boyan asked in confusion.
"Hard to say… "
More than ten minutes later, the two returned to the simple rental house.
A while of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Finally, I found a collection of poems and a diary.
And... a dagger.
"The diary was written by Jiang Yun one after another during the past six months, recording what he saw in his dreams."
Lu Wen opened the old diary.
The handwriting is terrible, and some words are replaced by pinyin.
But through the descriptions in the diary, Lu Wen could see Jiang Yun's psychological changes in the past six months.
At first.
Jiang Yun would burn paper for the two children and the woman he falsely accused and sent to jail.
But those dreams never go away.
Later, even in broad daylight, he could see those people coming back to look for him.
Tell him to get down.
Tell him to atone for his sins.
Jiang Yun's psychology slowly collapsed over time.
In his latest note, he had thoughts of suicide.
"The autopsy will be carried out later to see if there are traces of drugs in Jiang Yun's body." Wei Boyan said.
"There is a high probability." Lu Wen put down the diary in his hand, "The poetry collection and the dagger are the two clues left by the murderer. This poetry collection is... or Pushkin's. It was the poetry collection that was torn away from the home of the first deceased. part."
Open the poetry collection.
The first poem is "Prisoner".
"The clues given by the murderer are often the names of poems, and prisoner means..." Lu Wen frowned, "Is it possible that the next target is in prison?"
He turned to look at another clue left by the murderer.
That dagger.
Judging from the size, it was probably this dagger that left the non-fatal wounds on the first and second victims.
"This is a murder weapon."
Lu Wen thought that in that case twelve years ago, her husband was also stabbed in the chest with a dagger.
"We guessed correctly. The murderer's next target was the real culprit of that case. Now that person is likely to have committed a crime and is still serving his sentence in prison."
"There are many prisons in District 10."
Wei Boyan sent a piece of information to Lu Wen.
Prisons of various sizes, large and small, deal with criminals of different levels.
The prison in District 13 also has this hierarchical structure.
Jiang Xiaonian was imprisoned in the highest level prison.
"Documentation, send me the information of all the criminals who have been imprisoned in the 10th District in the past twelve years and are still serving their sentences in prison, and I will screen them out as soon as possible."
"Okay, wait a moment."
The advantage of bionic humans is that they can filter information quite quickly.
If you just filter with specific conditions, it only takes a few seconds.
But this time there were no specific conditions, so Lu Wen could only go step by step and select the person he thought was most likely to be the murderer of the original case.
"It would be too slow for me to filter all the trustworthy android executives into the same group," Lu Wen said.
"It's been done. I've sent a copy of information to each of them. Just tell me."
Wei Boan also sent a copy of the criminal information he obtained to Lu Wen.
Lu Wen started sending messages in the group.
"We want to find the real culprit of the case twelve years ago and meet the following conditions."
"He has violent tendencies and has been in prison many times. In prison, he will have conflicts with guards and other criminals. He has low education and no stable job. Most of his jobs are manual labor. His body is stronger than ordinary people..."
Lu Wen had never seen the real murderer twelve years ago.
There is no information that tells him the character of that person.
He could only slowly form a human image in his mind based on the clues he got in the past few days.
"He has a strong dependence on alcohol and may have certain psychological problems. He often needs to vent. He will go to bars and nightclubs and other places until early in the morning. Several of his experiences in prison may have been conflicts with people in bars... "
Following Lu Wen’s description.
The android executives from various places in the 10th District also began to process the information quickly.
There are many people who qualify.
Based on the personnel files finally obtained, everyone was divided into many groups and investigated one by one.
The busy figures of executioners can be seen in every prison.
Until dusk.
This rare sunny day in Mowu City is coming to an end.
"We have investigated a lot of people, and currently there are two people who are relatively suspected. They happened to drink in a bar near the area where the case took place in the early morning twelve years ago."
"But both of them said they had never done that. We will continue to interrogate them later. There are still a large number of eligible criminals who have not been investigated."
Wei Boyan seems to be quite energetic.
The people who are investigating together are all bionic people, so they won't feel tired.
"Continue tonight?"
"OK."
Lu Wen didn't need to eat, but Wei Boyan didn't.
The other android executives were still investigating. They found a noodle shop outside a certain prison.
"It's rare to have such good weather, the sunset is crimson, and I have been busy with cases all day." Wei Boyan took a big gulp of noodles and said a few words casually.
Lu Wen looked outside.
Looking into the distance along the street, my gaze gradually rose.
It was indeed crimson. In this city that is always covered with clouds, one could actually see fire clouds. The gray clouds in the sky seemed to have dispersed a lot.
The bright red color is like an eternal flame.
It's rising, it's burning.
Pedestrians passing by seemed less numb.
They talked and laughed, and some took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
"Buzz-buzz-"
Lu Wen's cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
He connected to his cell phone and found that it was an urgent message from the 13th District Executive Bureau.
At the same time, the public channel in District 13 also sent out the same message.
"There was a fire in the prison, the defense system failed, and many prisoners escaped. Please ask for emergency reinforcements over there!"
Above the message is an address.
"this place?"
Lu Wen's expression changed.
That was the high-end prison where Jiang Xiaonian was imprisoned, and all the heinous prisoners were incarcerated.
In an era when the death penalty had not yet been abolished, the crimes committed by criminals were enough to warrant being shot numerous times.
At the same time, Lu Wen also thought of another thing.
"Prison...prisoner...can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Did the real murderer from twelve years ago go to District 13
…
Good night, fellow book friends!
