The anchor's voice continued to ring in the empty room, causing slight echoes.
"Unfortunately, the crimes listed by the police are not comprehensive. Many of Lian Chengyan's crimes have not been made public. I don't like this way of publishing. I hope that Lian Chengyan can admit his crimes in person."
His voice was accompanied by a slight rush of water, sounding indifferently terrifying.
"...Also, although the police announced the crime of Lian Chengyan, the news about the live broadcast is now blocked, right? While blocking the news, I was thinking about how to deal with me? With such an idea, you can't save anyone. Yes. Before the next live broadcast, I need to see the trending search for the live broadcast.”
Hearing what he said, the police and netizens who were watching had a bad premonition.
"What do you want to do, anchor?"
"He doesn't still want to kill, does he?"
"Everyone, stay awake, he's looking for reasons not to let people go..."
"The police have done what you said!"
"Pervert, don't make excuses for your murder!"
The emotions of the people watching the live broadcast turned to anger, but across the network cable and the screen, they could only express their emotions by leaving a message.
Five minutes before the end of the live broadcast, the host not only did not stop the injection of water, but suddenly got up and poured a bucket of water into the fish tank.
The water level suddenly rose sharply, the icy water swayed, and it suddenly went deeper than the top of the girl's head.
The girl was startled, and her bound hands stretched out hard, but couldn't pull anything.
She wanted to raise her head and struggle to breathe, but her mouth was stuck. The girl struggled desperately for dozens of seconds, her body twitched suddenly, and several bubbles emerged from the water, and she couldn't hold her breath any longer. The cool water penetrated into her lungs from the nasal cavity and entered her body, her delicate body twitched gently, her limbs twisted, like a fish out of water.
The anchor's hand pressed her to death in the fish tank. Her struggles were futile and powerless. The water sloshed out, printing sparkling waves on the wall.
The cruel scene was staged in the live broadcast room, and the feeling of suffocation was felt in the face. There was not much sound during the whole process, but everyone screamed in their hearts, and cold sweat broke out from their backs.
This is murder!
Across the screen, the strong empathy made people watching the live broadcast involuntarily hold their breaths, their hearts hung up, and they felt the suffocation.
That was a young life, that was an innocent girl...
The video stops abruptly here and switches to a black screen.
The indifferent voice of the anchor came out: "The next live broadcast will start in an hour. Whether it's the police or the netizens watching the live broadcast, I hope you can do better, otherwise, more people will die!"
In the city, a street is like a straight line, dividing the city into two areas, one side is a wide street, tall buildings, prosperous and modern. On the other side are the tall unfinished buildings, the shanty towns, poverty and backwardness.
This street is like the dividing line between two different territories. The people on both sides of the territory live two completely different lives.
At this time, several police cars were parked on the side of the road and lined up in a long line. Except for a few police officers who stayed on duty, everyone else had entered the unfinished building area.
Even these few people are always on standby.
The unfinished building district has never been so full of people as it is now. The mobilized police dogs and personnel have already arrived, and they continue to pour into that dark place.
Inside a police patrol car on the side of the road, the dark windows cut off the noise outside.
Su Hui sat in his seat and saw the end of the live broadcast. He frowned slightly, and a chill came from his fingertips. This chill went down his wrists to his elbows, and finally entered his heart...
This is a very cruel murderer.
The so-called rules and conventions of such criminals are originally what he has the final say, and he can change the rules at any time. Now, one by one, the conditions are being measured. He seems to be testing the bottom line of the police and the public. Next time, he will make new demands...
There is no news from Lu Junchi's side.
Su Hui deduced the logic of the murderer's behavior based on what he knew now. But he didn't dare to make a judgment easily. Knowing not enough, his inference may break the game, and may also put the police into a passive state.
This anchor, what is his purpose
Publicize these crimes that have never been discovered and dealt with? Mocking the incompetence of the police? Presiding over justice? It doesn't seem to be the case.
Su Hui was indescribable, he could feel that there was a kind of reckless innocence in this behavior.
How many more live broadcasts will there be
As soon as Su Hui thought of this, he suddenly felt that his breathing was suppressed, and a dull pain came from his chest. He covered his chest with his hands, lowered his head and coughed.
The group within the General Administration has posted the original file of the live video just now and posted it in the group.
Su Hui endured the physical discomfort and clicked on the video, and re-watched the video just now. There must be some clues in it, but they haven't found it yet.
At this time, in the high-level office of the Huadu General Administration, several leaders of the General Administration and several directors of the sub-bureaus have already arrived here.
The second live broadcast has just ended. What happened in the live broadcast room touched people's hearts, and everyone's faces were full of anxiety. They are discussing how to control the situation and end it all.
Deputy Bureau Jin saw that he finally put the phone on the table, and said angrily: "This lunatic, he is still haggling with the police? According to me, I should agree to the conditions of the video website earlier, and if I stopped the live broadcast, it would not be so much trouble. already."
Deputy Bureau Wang took a sip of the ice-cold tea: "The live broadcast website said that they have to pay first and then stop the live broadcast. One million dollars is not a small amount. If the other party has not stopped the live broadcast, what will happen to the account? Calculate?"
Deputy Director Wang's work style has always been cautious, and every step he takes feels like walking on thin ice.
"The live broadcast, Weibo, and WeChat have been closed. Now is the information age, and the live broadcast of a murder is just an appearance. Can you close all the websites? What if we kill more people?" Tan Bureau sighed, "Then we will harvest the corpses tomorrow morning. Then the media will publicly take responsibility for the incompetence of the police! Leaders from all walks of life will also accuse us of doing things poorly."
Deputy Bureau Jin turned his head again and said: "I didn't say it, I have long felt that Wanhu City is the most chaotic and prone to accidents. The root of this case is that the security in Wanhu City is too poor. And that Lianchengyan, fundamentally The police are negligent, why haven't such people been arrested?"
The surname of the fifth branch director in charge of Wanhu City was Li. At this time, he became the target of public criticism, and he couldn't help but complain: "The place in Wanhu City, where hundreds of thousands of people are crowded together, was originally a mixed bag and difficult to manage. There is still a lot of mess left in the first term, and the disaster has long been planted. If the shanty towns are not completely eliminated, there is simply no way to clean up those people... Now I have hundreds of people in my branch who have been dispatched..."
"Even if we start a thorough investigation and crack down, it's not something that can be done overnight." Tan Ju's face seemed to have aged a few years in an instant, "It's all over now, I hope everyone can save people and save people when they think about the problem. Solve the problem first, we must unite ourselves first, try to solve things, lose our temper will not help, we will deal with other things later... "
Deputy Director Jin then clutched his chest and said, "I'm not too anxious? Chang, have your people arrived?"
"Everyone who can be transferred has been transferred..."
"Do you really want to make him on the hot search as the anchor said?"
"Shall we ask senior leaders for instructions?"
"The leadership said we make our own decisions about this situation..."
Really open the restrictions and allow the media to report on this
In that case, I am afraid that the live broadcast room will soon be full of people, and the situation will be even more uncontrollable. No one dares to give this order, and no one can take this responsibility.
The message has been blocked all the time, and it seems that it does not solve the fundamental problem...
Everyone was discussing for a while, but there was no conclusion, and the faces of everyone on the scene were gloomy.
It is too passive, there is no way to advance, there is no way to retreat, and what we know so far is very limited.
There was a moment of silence in the conference room. If the situation deteriorated further, more people would be killed, and the black gauze hats on their heads might not be protected.
"I think it's still necessary to increase the manpower..."
"What about the people from the serious crime team? Why is there no news at all?"
"Before, the serious crime team was investigating, so that Lian Chengyan's crime could be reported so quickly. It's only been more than two hours since the crime happened. How could the murderer be found?"
"Yeah, the review team is still assisting them."
"Let's let the media go." Director Tan sighed. He always believed that blocking could not solve practical problems. "What other manpower is there to mobilize?"
Just when he said this, his cell phone suddenly rang, and Bureau Tan hurriedly picked it up, looking solemn, ready to receive bad news, but then his expression suddenly stopped, and then he showed a happy expression: "What? The second victim People have been found? Still... still alive?!"
This is the only good news tonight. Everyone looked up as if they saw a light in the dark night.
Among the unfinished buildings in Wanhu City, the emergency search continues.
Just half an hour ago, Lu Junchi and other police officers had already started to search gradually.
These buildings in Wanhu City are tall buildings with more than 20 stories. Most of them are not equipped with lights. They are pitch black and the terrain is complicated.
In groups of three, they quickly entered each room. After confirming that no one was there, they went upstairs. It took at least ten minutes to check one building.
Searching is manual work, and after climbing a building, many people start to become out of breath. After sweeping the two buildings, I felt like I had run for a thousand meters, and my legs felt like lead was poured into my legs, making it difficult to move. When we got to the third building, we basically climbed up against the wall and walked out.
Their group swept four buildings in a row, and the other two team members couldn't hold it anymore, but Lu Junchi didn't dare to slow down at all.
The search for the fourth building ended, and they went downstairs and entered the fifth building.
Lu Junchi remembered that when he was observing from a distance before, there was some light in the direction of the fifth floor of this building.
But now, before they came up, the lights upstairs disappeared.
This made Lu Junchi feel very suspicious, so he ran upstairs and went straight to this room.
There was no door in that room, only a simple door curtain. It may have been lived in before, but the owner is no longer here.
Lu Junchi held the flashlight in his left hand and buckled the gun in his right hand, shouting, "Police, is there anyone?"
No one answered, the three of them rushed in, and Lu Junchi saw the water under his feet with the flashlight in his hand.
It was dark in the living room, and through the moonlight outside, a huge fish tank could be seen.
There was also a hazy black shadow in the fish tank, the girl who was immersed in the water.
Lu Junchi hurriedly ran over and hugged the girl horizontally out of the water. The girl was so light that one could hardly feel the weight.
A police officer turned on the lights inside the house so they could see more clearly.
It was the girl in the video just now, right now, the girl was in a coma, her brows and eyes were closed, her wet hair was sticking to her pale cheeks, Lu Junchi tore off the waterproof glue on the girl's mouth and hands as quickly as possible. paste.
The girl's delicate face was revealed, and there was still a trace of warmth on her body, but she was completely unconscious and her limbs were soft, like a doll placed in a cupboard.
A police officer next to Lu Junchi had learned first aid, and immediately took over the girl and started artificial respiration and cardiac compression.
Another police officer probed the girl's neck with his hand: "There seems to be a slight pulse, but it is very weak."
This life is fleeting, and they need to pull her back from the hand of death.
It's just four minutes before the end of the live broadcast, and five minutes after drowning, she will die of suffocation, which means that the girl is now at the critical point of life and death.
Continuing to press for more than a minute, the girl choked out a sip of water from her mouth. The rescuers still did not dare to be careless. ups and downs.
The second victim was rescued, which is probably a fortune among misfortunes.
Lu Junchi contacted 120. Because of the live broadcast incident, an ambulance had been parked not far away, but it was an unfinished building, and a soft stretcher had to be carried up to transport people down.
Then Lu Junchi gave the news to Bureau Tan, and shared it in the work group of the serious crime team.
All of them felt like they had been injected with a shot in the arm, and their nervousness eased a little.
All settled.
Lu Junchi turned around and checked the scene. It was the deepest building in the unfinished building group. When they went upstairs just now, they didn't see anyone. The mysterious anchor seems to have left here long ago.
There is nothing else left in the room. There is no water in this unfinished building. There are several huge buckets that have been prepared here for a long time, rubber water pipes for backflow, and there is a huge water-filled fish tank.
In the corner of the unfinished building, there is a schoolbag.
Lu Junchi opened it and looked at it. The name of the book in the bag was Mo Xiuxiu, which seemed to belong to the victim. He took a few live photos and sent them to the group.
There was also news from Qiao Ze: "We found a charred corpse here, which should belong to the first victim Kong Tao."
The first crime scene was also found.
Lu Jun said lately: "Share the location with the group, protect the scene, and call the forensic doctor and physical evidence. Is there anything special about the scene?"
"There are several oil drums on the ground, there are schoolbags for students, we were there and found a pair of basketball sneakers, which are brand new..."
Soon, the photo from Qiao Ze's side was also sent. Kong Tao's death was tragic. The body and the chair were almost scorched.
Mo Xiuxiu might still be saved, but the first victim was already dead at this time.
The new pair of sneakers was placed in the corner, the shoe box was half open, and you could see that the shoes inside were white and very eye-catching.
Lu Junchi looked at the photos in the group and frowned slightly. Why is there a new pair of sneakers on the scene
The rescuers finally arrived and pulled the unconscious Mo Xiuxiu into the car. The girl's condition has been very unstable, her heartbeat is weak, and she may even stop breathing at any time.
Lu Jun walked downstairs late, only then did he feel that he had climbed too many steps, and his walking was a little unsteady.
He raised his head and looked at it in the middle of the night. In the darkness, the city of Wanhu looked like a huge ruin.
It is hard to imagine that such a place exists in a cosmopolitan city.
The forensic doctor and the physical evidence arrived one after another. After leaving a few police officers to deal with the scene, Lu Junchi left the scene and returned to the command car where he came.
If the location of the next live broadcast changes, they also need to be transferred collectively in an orderly manner and must be prepared in advance.
The after-effects of running so many floors were revealed at this time. Lu Junchi felt that his legs were very sore, as if they were not his own.
Su Hui saw him sit in, raised his head, the lights on the patrol car reflected his profile: "I just read the group and said that the second victim was rescued?"
This is encouraging news, and leaders seem relieved by the result.
Lu Jun nodded and said: "It's a stupid method, but luck is good, and people are still being rescued... In such a large area, no amount of manpower is enough. I have already applied for a drone to cooperate with the search, but I can't. I know if I can make it in time for the next live broadcast.”
After speaking, Lu Junchi closed his eyes and leaned against the car window tiredly. He felt like he had just experienced a war without gunpowder smoke, but the war was not over yet.
They are really lucky, so many buildings, they searched one by one, and happened to meet them.
But next time, he didn't know if he would have such luck again.
If there are infrared drones that can cooperate with the action, the investigation time can be greatly shortened, but it takes time to mobilize the drones and may not be in time for the next live broadcast.
The victim is still unable to speak and could die at any time, and they have no way of knowing more details of the kidnapping.
The situation is not optimistic.
Lu Jun said lately: "The next live broadcast is one hour apart. We are already blocking this unfinished building, and we will check one by one..."
"The murderer may change locations, but it should still be in Wanhu City..." Su Hui whispered, "You have to speed up your search and follow the anchor. I have some inferences now, if the third victim is still a student at Wanhu Middle School. … Then there might be a situation.”
Lu Jun hummed a little lately: "You said."
There was chaos outside, only Su Hui was quiet and pale, as if his heart would be stable as long as he heard Su Hui's voice.
They have solved so many cases together and faced so many difficulties and dangers. This case is very difficult, but they will definitely go all out to catch the murderer.
Su thought back and said, "This may be a multi-person organized crime."
Lu Junchi frowned slightly, and he still hadn't figured out the link.
Su Hui explained: "Today is Friday, we have confirmed with the school and other students in the class that Kong Tao left the school gate at 4:15 and Mo Xiuxiu left the school at 4:10. People leave alone. These students are scattered, I think, there is no way for one person to kidnap so many children at the same time, control them, hide them in different places, and kill them separately."
"There are also buckets and fish tanks at the second crime scene. There is so much water, such a big fish tank, that even an adult man can't get upstairs. If it is delivered by a merchant, it may cause suspicion and leave clues. So I infer that the murderer may have help... You must be more careful... "
Even if these things have been planned for a long time, the scene has already been set up in the unfinished building in Wanhu City, and it still takes time to kidnap the child. Why did no one call the police, and no one found the child missing
One explanation and possibility is that the murderers may have been numerous.
It was different people who kidnapped multiple teenagers on different routes.
They have yet to find placements for the remaining juveniles.
