There is a factory that has been abandoned for many years to the south of the South Outer Ring Road of Beiqian City. Fifteen years ago, the fifth victim in the Demon Case fell to his death from a factory building here.
Time has passed, and among all the crime scenes of the demon case, only this one has been preserved. The other places have been demolished or rebuilt, and are nowhere to be found.
This afternoon, Zhao Yu and several colleagues from the special investigation team came here specifically to inspect the site. At this moment, they were walking along the steps of the factory building to the floor where the crime occurred. Due to its long disrepair and steep steps, Zhao Yu’s wheelchair could not climb it.
However, he was stubborn and would rather use crutches and insist on crawling to the crime scene to see for himself.
The steps are not only steep, but most of the railings are rusty. It is very dangerous for normal people to climb up here, let alone using crutches.
Worried that something might happen to Zhao Yu, Ran Tao and Zeng Ke were like right-hand men, supporting Zhao Yu carefully and walking upstairs bit by bit.
"The deceased Zhang Wu, male, was a high school student at Jiebao County No. 1 Middle School. He was forced to drop out of school because he injured many classmates." Cui Lizhu was carrying a backpack and holding a mobile phone in her hand, following Zhao Yu and others. After reading the information, "The family environment of the deceased was also very special. His parents were divorced, and his stepfather ran away due to debts. The deceased was negligent in discipline and met many unscrupulous young people in society during his lifetime. He was even suspected of participating in robberies...
"Although Jiebao County is a county, it is only two kilometers away from this factory...
"Even though the crime scene is on the fourth floor of the factory, the factory is different from ordinary buildings!" Cui Lizhu said, "The height there is about 20 meters, which is equivalent to a seven-story building, and the ground is made of hard cement, so if you fall If you go down, there is basically no chance of survival!"
"Hmm..." Zhao Yu was already familiar with the information. He agreed while climbing hard, "Although the deceased only weighed 113 kilograms, it was very laborious to carry such a big living person on his back to the fourth floor. thing! Therefore, the investigators at that time judged that the murderer either had an accomplice or was a very strong person!"
"I remember..." Zeng Ke continued, "The information says that Han Kuan agreed to this condition when he was working in Beiqian. Someone's confession said that Han Kuan could carry a music blackboard for six months by himself. Lou! That was when he was at his youngest and strongest!"
"You said..." Cui Lizhu said unconvinced, "You police officers are so powerful, why can't you deal with a bitch like Han Kuan? Lock him up and beat him up, and you haven't confessed everything?"
"Don't be kidding! We are police officers, not gangsters..." Ran Tao said, "We can't beat people casually! Besides, beating people doesn't necessarily mean they can really confess, right?"
"Then... just put his fingerprints on the devil suit, or put a few strands of Han Kuan's hair on it!" Cui Lizhu said again, "Isn't that evidence? If you think you are noble, then I can do it. ?”
"How can that be done?" Zeng Ke shook his head, "That's called frame-up. Once we are investigated, not only will our jobs be lost, we will also go to jail!"
While listening to the conversation of several people, Zhao Yu was still climbing the stairs with a cane. In fact, the method Cui Lizhu mentioned was his specialty in the past. Regarding Han Kuan's case, he could naturally repeat his old tricks and use the method of hitting three poles with or without dates to bluff him.
However, after some careful consideration, he finally gave up on these ideas. Because, as he said himself, Han Kuan is different from other criminals. He has the toughest psychological quality. He is not like Liu Pengfei, Ai Lili and Dou Zili in the past who have their own flaws and are easily fooled.
Moreover, Han Kuan has now hired a lawyer. If Zhao Yu takes special measures, if it fails, he will definitely lose more than he gains and get into trouble. By then, if you want to get the truth, it will be even more impossible!
Therefore, if we really want Han Kuan to plead guilty, we must have more solid evidence. However, the Demon Case had already occurred for 15 years. Let alone Han Kuan's infallibility, even if he did leave any omissions back then, it would be extremely difficult to find them now!
While talking, the four people had arrived at the floor where the crime occurred, but a huge factory suddenly appeared in front of them. There was air leakage around the factory and the ground was covered with garbage.
"Okay, I can stand!" Zhao Yu said, leaning on a cane, "Zeng Ke, first pull out the photos of the crime scene and compare the detailed locations!"
"Okay..." Zeng Ke hurriedly took out his mobile phone, but before the photo could be retrieved, he suddenly received a message and hurriedly said to Zhao Yu, "Team leader, Sister Wu sent a letter saying that Han Kuan did not admit that he had returned to Beiqian. He He said that since he left that year, he has never been back, and he didn’t even attend Teacher Lang’s funeral!”
"Oh? Don't you admit it?" Zhao Yu sighed, "Either...he deliberately concealed it, or he was convinced that we couldn't find any evidence that he had returned to the north! Alas! But...even if we could find evidence, it would be useless. As long as he doesn’t admit it, we won’t know that he put that devil suit in!”
"Damn it, I really want to give this bastard a good beating!" Cui Lizhu clenched her fists and cursed, "He's even more sinister than thieves like us!"
Next, Zeng Ke opened the photos of the crime and pointed out to Zhao Yu the location where the deceased jumped from the building. But seeing that there were no railings or other obstructions, if it was pitch dark in the middle of the night, it would be easy to cause a fall accident.
Zhao Yu came to the front with a cane and carefully looked down, but saw that there was an empty cement floor below the building, where the deceased fell to his death.
However, right next to that piece of ground, a rectangular pool suddenly appeared!
Why
pool
In an instant, not only Zhao Yu's eyes were attracted to the pool, but others also attracted great attention.
"This swimming pool..." Cui Lizhu finally remembered, "Why does it look so similar to the one in the murder case?"
"That's not a swimming pool, it's an industrial reservoir!" Zeng Ke explained, "And, to be precise, it's not particularly similar to the book murder case, but it's very similar to the illustrations in "11 Kills"!"
"Ah!?" In an instant, Cui Lizhu felt her hair stand on end. She pointed to the pool below in surprise and said, "When the demon case happened, Han Kuan was working on his "11 Kills". Could it be... Could it be that that illustration was not his imagination? It’s a painting, but... it actually has a source!?”
"Not only does it have a source, but it's probably from here!" Zhao Yu said, "If the illustrations in "11 Kills" were drawn based on this, then it means that Han Kuan has been here before, and the demon in the Demon Case - it's him!!!"
"Oh my god! This... is so scary!" Cui Lizhu said nervously, "So, the demon case is also related to "11 Kills"? Why does Han Kuan like these abandoned and dark places? ? Oh, and... are there other illustrations in "11 Kills" that are consistent with the demon case?"
"Alas..." Zhao Yu said with a straight face, shaking his head and sighing, "Whether he has it or not, it's useless! There is no way to convict him with just one illustration!"
"Yes!" Zeng Ke said, looking around, "It's been 15 years since the demon case. I'm afraid nothing can be found anymore, right?"
"It's impossible for Han Kuan to take the initiative to admit it, and we can't find any evidence. This case...sigh..." Ran Tao also frowned and was dejected.
"Lizhu!" At this time, although Zhao Yu's face was full of disappointment, he still snapped his fingers and said to Cui Lizhu, "Open the devil suit and wear it for me!"
"Ah! What? You are wearing... this..." Cui Lizhu was shocked, and then she understood why Zhao Yu brought the devil suit to the scene. It turned out that he wanted to experience for himself the feeling of being a devil! !
