When I rushed out of the room, the sound of the iron basin falling had disappeared. Ding Yang also rushed out after hearing the sound and asked me what happened.
I didn't answer him. My ears were completely fixed on the stairs. I rushed towards the stairs quickly to listen for any sound. However, there was deathly silence there. It seemed that no one except us heard the loud noise just now.
We rushed to the stairs in two or three steps, but found nothing there. My intuition told me that the source of the sound should be on the fourth floor. When we went down to the fourth floor, we were instantly shocked by the scene in front of us!
I saw a lot of paper money scattered everywhere on the stairs from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, and the iron basin had been flattened and was lying upside down on the ground. Next to the iron basin, a person had fallen in a pool of blood. That person was Granny Feng who invited us to lunch today!
"Granny Feng! What's wrong with you?"
When I saw everything in front of me, I rushed to Grandma Feng on the ground without any hesitation, and Ding Yang also hurriedly took out his mobile phone to call the ambulance and Officer Yang.
Granny Feng was still breathing, but her breathing had become intermittent. I wanted to help her up, but Ding Yang stopped me immediately. Only then did I realize that Granny Feng's head seemed to be leaning on her shoulders at an incredible angle, and blood was constantly gushing out of her mouth. It seemed that her cervical vertebrae must have been seriously injured.
Ding Yang was a professional forensic doctor after all. He stepped forward and carefully looked at Grandma Feng's condition. His eyes gradually turned red. Finally, he sighed and said, "The cervical bone was broken and pierced the trachea. It's already..."
Having said this, Ding Yang could no longer continue. I also understood what Ding Yang meant. Grandma Feng was indeed beyond help.
At this moment, I felt as if there was a stagnation in my chest. I tried hard not to let my tears fall, and whispered to Grandma Feng: "Grandma, please don't move. Who did this to you? Please tell us, and we will definitely seek justice for you!"
At this time, Granny Feng's eyes were a little blurry, and she seemed to want to say something, but only blood gushed out of her mouth and she couldn't speak. Finally, Granny Feng used up the last bit of her strength, pointed her finger at me, and then her hands fell weakly to the ground, and she was completely dead.
I didn't expect that Grandma Feng would leave like this. Thinking of how she turned on the elevator light for me and how kind she was when she invited me to dinner, even though I didn't have a very deep relationship with her, I still couldn't help but shed tears.
From my point of view, Granny Feng was pointing at my left eye, but from Ding Yang's point of view, Granny Feng was pointing behind me. Ding Yang immediately looked behind me and happened to see Grandpa Liu standing at the stairs on the fifth floor with a shocked look on his face!
Seeing Uncle Liu appear at the scene, Ding Yang was immediately furious. He stood up and pointed at Uncle Liu and said, "What else do you have to say now! You murderer!"
Uncle Liu didn't seem to know what was going on. When Ding Yang pointed it out, he panicked and spoke incoherently, "No, that's not the case. I was patrolling here by chance and came here when I heard the noise. She wasn't pointing at me just now!"
Ding Yang was not willing to listen to this. He was completely overwhelmed by anger at this moment. He immediately stepped forward to stop Uncle Liu who wanted to escape. It seemed that if Officer Yang came now, he would dare to put handcuffs on Uncle Liu's hands.
I was the only one present who knew what Granny Feng was referring to specifically, but I didn't say anything at this moment. After all, Uncle Liu's appearances were always such coincidences, and even if I said anything now, the angry Ding Yang might not listen to me. Besides, I was not in a very good mood at the moment, so I could only watch Ding Yang do what he wanted to do.
I looked carefully at the scene and all the items left at that time. According to my thinking, the kind-hearted Grandma Feng was about to come to the fourth floor to burn paper for Xiao Liu, and was killed on the way.
Looking at the dead Grandma Feng, I secretly swore in my heart that I must catch the real murderer and avenge her in the shortest possible time! Because Grandma Feng has given me the biggest clue, that is the left eye!
Soon, Officer Yang and the ambulance arrived at the scene. When Officer Yang saw Grandma Feng's body, he kept sighing and looked at me with some disappointment without saying a word. Then he and Ding Yang took Grandpa Liu back to the police station, apparently preparing to interrogate Grandpa Liu.
I didn't go with them, and of course, they didn't pay any attention to me. After everyone left, I sat alone on the steps on the fourth floor and began to connect all the clues I knew so far to come to the conclusion I wanted.
This time, the death of Grandma Feng was very different from the other three murders. Although they all died on the fourth floor, the cause of death and the left eye were completely different from the previous ones. According to my original understanding, the murderer's target was only those five "Shamatte". Now that Grandma Feng is also dead, all my previous inferences have been disrupted.
According to my thinking, the biggest suspect now is indeed Uncle Liu, and if he is the murderer, then digging out the left eye of the deceased can also be a good explanation. But it is very strange, if the murderer is really Uncle Liu, why did Granny Feng point to my left eye before she died, instead of directly pointing at Uncle Liu himself
Could it be that the left eye is the real key
At this moment, I suddenly found that I seemed to be a little inflated. The previous series of solving cases made me full of confidence. I felt that many things were actually very simple. In this case, except for waiting, I did not achieve anything at all.
I tried hard to recall myself when I first came into contact with the special case team. I would carefully investigate any details and never relied purely on inferences like I do now. What I need most now is the state I was in back then!
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that the blood in my body seemed to flow a lot faster. I stood up from the ground at once, and secretly gave myself an ultimatum in my heart that the real murderer must be found before tonight, no matter whether the murderer is Uncle Liu or not!
I turned around and placed the iron basin on the ground on the place where Grandma Feng died. Then I picked up all the paper money around and put it in the iron basin and lit it. Then I left the fourth floor and walked towards my room.
Now I have to do two things. The first is to figure out how Xiao Liu was killed without anyone noticing. The second is why the murderer had to kill those five Shamattes and whether those five Shamattes have some connection with the left eye.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the door of my room, I found that the door of the room next to me was open, so I immediately went in and saw that the green-haired guy who was taken away by Officer Yang in the morning had come back.
"Why are you back?"
Green Hair turned around and saw that it was me, and said helplessly: "What's the difference between staying there and being in prison? And I heard that the murderer has been caught, why don't we come back? But now that the case has been solved, you should move out, right? If you don't leave, it will be difficult for us to move around at night."
Although I don't know the specific situation, I always feel that it was a very wrong decision for Officer Yang to let these two shamattes go.
I looked inside the room and found that the fat guy named Da Liu who was with Green Hair was not in the room at this time. I immediately asked, "Where is Da Liu? Why are you back alone?"
"It's right in the room, didn't you see it?" Green Hair looked at me with disdain, turned around and walked into the room to look for Da Liu, and suddenly came out puzzled and said, "It's strange, he was here just now, how come he suddenly disappeared?"
Maybe I am a little neurotic now. When I heard that Da Liu was missing, I immediately thought of the stairs on the side of the corridor. Seeing my expression, Green Hair also thought that something had happened to Da Liu. Just as he left the room with me and was about to go to the stairs to check, he heard Da Liu's voice coming from the room.
"What are you yelling about? Are you guys so nervous just because I'm going to the bathroom?"
As they were talking, Da Liu came out of the bathroom, and Green Hair breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was just worried that you would die too. So you were hiding in the bathroom. I was wondering why I couldn't find you."
Green Hair's unintentional words suddenly gave me an idea! I pushed Green Hair away, walked straight to the living room window, opened the window, and looked outside. Although I was a little scared standing on the sixth floor looking down, I saw what I wanted to see!
"It is indeed true! If this method is used, then only one person can do it!"
I thought to myself and immediately picked up my phone to call Officer Yang, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that Officer Yang would not want to answer my call, so I sighed and dialed Bai Qi's number.
"Uncle Bai, I want you to help me find some information."
After Bai Qi called me back, I couldn't calm down for a long time. I always thought that Granny Feng knew who the murderer was but was unwilling to tell me. But in fact, I was wrong. As early as the first time Granny Feng met me, she had already told me the clue of the murderer, but I didn't pay attention at that time!
When will the cycle of revenge end
I turned around and looked at Green Hair and Big Liu who had been looking at me inexplicably, and said coldly, "Are you guys hiding something from me?"
I don’t know if it was because he felt guilty or because he heard what I said on the phone, but Green Hair’s eyes flickered when he looked at me, and Big Liu even lowered his head.
"Tell me everything you know as soon as possible, otherwise, none of you will be able to escape death tonight! Even if I know it by then, I won't help you! Think about it carefully!"
After saying that, I pretended to turn around and leave, but Green Hair was struggling with his facial expression. Finally, he couldn't help but hold me and said with his head down: "I'll tell you everything."
