"You're not a police officer and you can't see the crime scene?" Zhao Yu asked, "Why are you so sure that the man was killing people according to the method in your novel?"
"I only found out later. I really didn't think about it at first! I never thought something like this would happen! Well... how should I put it..." Han Kuan organized his thoughts and said, "You can Check it out. In early August last year, the police found a body in an abandoned building near the Dongshan Building Materials Market in Huanghuangcheng. When it was found, the body had been dead for more than half a month. The police confirmed that the man died by slitting his wrists. !”
Cutting my wrists again…
After hearing "slit wrists", the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. It was obvious that this word had become quite sensitive due to Han Kuan's murder.
"In the end, because the deceased had been dead for too long and the body was highly decomposed, the police did not find obvious evidence of homicide, so the case was hastily concluded with suicide... "
While speaking, Han Kuan glanced at Director Zhang Qing, his eyes clearly showing dissatisfaction.
"As you know, I specialize in writing crime novels and am very interested in this kind of news, so I investigated the matter carefully." However, I didn't realize there was anything wrong at the time. I just wanted to know. Did that person commit suicide or something...
"Of course, I'm not a detective like you," Han Kuan said, "Of course I can't find out anything, so this matter passed out of my life very quickly!
"However, I did not expect that during the National Day holiday, another suicide case would occur in our Golden City: news reports said that a man hanged himself in an unfinished residential building in Qiaobei District. Committed suicide!" Han Kuan frowned and said, "After hearing the news, I finally couldn't be calm anymore! Because I vaguely remembered the plot in my book "11 Kills".
“After I was connected with the first suicide case, I finally realized that something serious might be going on!
"In "11 Kills" I wrote in my early years, the protagonist, in order to avenge his daughter, the first person he killed was to slit his wrists to death, and then faked the scene of suicide by slitting his wrists!
"And the second deceased was hanged! And I remember clearly that the deceased in my book also died in an unfinished residential building, exactly the same as the news in front of me!"
Hearing what Han Kuan said, the scene couldn't help but fall into silence. Zhao Yu blinked at the observation glass, which meant that Zeng Ke should check quickly to see if there were the two things Han Kuan said.
"When I realized something was wrong, I ran to the basement of my house like crazy to look for the book!" Han Kuan said with difficulty, "However, I turned the basement upside down, and not only did I not find it, The book "11 Kills" and many of my previous manuscripts are all gone!
"My manuscripts have been placed in an ordinary cardboard box, and that cardboard box is gone!" Han Kuan's face showed a look of despair. "At that time, I was completely confused! If there is really a madman following my instructions, The book is killing people, that’s bad! 11 kills! Could it be that... he also wants to kill 11 people
"At that time, I did think about reporting the case to the police. But... after I calmed down, I felt that I couldn't be too rash. After all, it had been too long, and I had forgotten many details in the book, and I could only remember a general outline. s frame.
"Also, I can't remember whether the first person whose wrists were slit died in an abandoned building or something. I feel that although these two cases are similar to those in my book, they may just be the same. coincide.
"Furthermore, I was very young when I wrote "11 Kills", and that book was full of loopholes. If someone really killed people according to the plot in the book, I'm afraid the police would have discovered it long ago!" Han Kuan shrugged, " Since these two cases in reality were both classified as suicides in the end, I comforted myself that maybe the situation was not as bad as I thought, right
"Oh... what a trick of fate!" Han Kuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It didn't go well, but I was involved in a murder case, and... the deceased was my wife... I... I really am Innocent!"
At this point, Han Kuan seemed a little excited. He stopped to calm down before continuing:
"Then, I was wrongfully accused of being a murder suspect and sent to a detention center! You can imagine how I got through these days... How could I still be in the mood to worry about "11 Kills"
“However, what’s incredible is that just two weeks ago, I suddenly saw a piece of news in the newspaper saying that someone had found a deceased person who had frozen to death in an abandoned factory building near the truck yard!
"The police detected a large amount of alcohol on the deceased, proving that the person was severely drunk before his death. Therefore, the police suspect that the person drank too much and then slept in the factory and froze to death. This is an accidental death.
"Those days happened to be the coldest time in our Golden City," Han Kuan said. "The lowest temperature at night once reached minus 20 degrees Celsius. Under such circumstances, no matter what kind of person they are, they will be frozen into popsicles. !”
"Of course, these are not important!" Han Kuan said solemnly, "What is important is that the fourth deceased in my book "11 Kills" also died in this way! Alcoholism, abandoned factories, severe cold... all Exactly the same!”
Oh My God…
After hearing this, everyone finally realized that what Han Kuan said about killing people according to the book was not nonsense!
"Wait a minute..." Zhao Yu remembered something and asked hurriedly, "You said the fourth one was frozen to death! So... it seems... there should be a third one in the middle, right?"
"Yes, although I can't remember the details!" Han Kuan said, "But the minimum order of death is absolutely unmistakable! The first one cut his wrists, the second one hanged himself, the third one was electrocuted, and the fourth one Frozen to death, the fifth drowned, the sixth..."
"You said... the third one should have died from electric shock?" Zhao Yu interrupted him and asked.
"That's right!" Han Kuan said with certainty, "I don't know what accident happened to the murderer or other reasons. But in my tree, the third person was indeed electrocuted to death! The fourth one was frozen to death. ! Maybe the murderer mixed up the order?"
"Wait..." Zhao Yu interrupted him again, then stretched out his fingers to count, and turned to Deputy Director Zhang Qing and said, "Old Zhang, why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and report to the Criminal Police Team? Make a phone call and ask?"
"Ask? What are you asking for?" Zhang Qing was in a daze, not knowing why.
"Didn't you say that you received a report today and found a deceased person who had been dead for more than a month in a residential area in Nanhuan?" Miao Ying explained, "Ask your people, how did the deceased die? "
"Oh... oh..." Zhang Qing's face turned pale, and then he realized that they might be in trouble!
Unexpectedly, before Zhang Qing could make a call, the door to the interrogation room was pushed open, and the fat director Ba Chen said in a hurry: "No need to call Director Zhang... I just received the news. The coroner has confirmed that the deceased found in Xianghe Homes in Nanhuan was indeed electrocuted!!!"
