"No connection? In other words, the murderer's target of killing is not the relatives of those who died ten years ago?"
I originally thought that this clue would be enough to expose the heart-eating demon and could also be the key to catching him, but who knew that things would not be what I imagined.
Zhang Qishan was obviously even more surprised. He looked at Bai Qi in disbelief and was speechless.
Bai Qi sighed, and it was obvious that he was also very disappointed. He said, "I carefully read the information yesterday and found that this inference is indeed wrong. The seven dead people ten years ago and the four victims today, except for Zhang Qishan's family, have no relatives. It is estimated that they have never met each other. We made a directional mistake this time."
Although I was also very disappointed, I was not disappointed. Instead, I felt deep down that this matter seemed to have become more interesting. Perhaps it was because of the bonus that Bai Qi promised me. I had already classified myself as a police detective. Now that things had become more challenging, how could I just back down
Looking at Bai Qi and Officer Yang who were smoking with a frown on their faces, I held out my hand and said, "Uncle Bai and Officer Yang, don't worry. There will always be a way to solve the problem. Besides, we at least know where the murderer's mother's grave is. I saw that the grave was cleaned very cleanly before. I think the murderer must be a filial person. I don't believe he won't visit his mother at the grave again. In addition, Uncle Bai, can you show me the information in your hand?"
Bai Qi was worried. He handed me the file bag and said, "Take it back and take a good look at it. If you find anything, remember to inform us immediately. I don't have much time left to promise this girl."
Bai Qi said that he promised Zhang Qishan that he would solve the case within three days. Now more than a day has passed and the murderer has disappeared for two days. I suddenly felt that it seemed like I had promised Zhang Qishan that he would solve the case within three days.
We chatted for a while and the truck outside arrived on time, so we dispersed. Officer Yang and Bai Qi focused all their attention on Jiadao Village and tried their best to investigate Ergouzi's deeds, while I continued to deliver express with Zhang Qishan. However, I was completely out of shape today and my mind was full of thoughts about this case. Zhang Qishan was helping with the delivery most of the time.
Maybe she also felt that the atmosphere was a bit tense at the moment, so she didn't make trouble for me this time and the delivery went smoothly.
Soon it was noon and we drove to a Sichuan restaurant. After all, this girl helped a lot today, so we had to reward her.
After entering, Zhang Qishan seemed to be very hungry. He picked up the menu and looked at it carefully. I was about to go out to smoke a cigarette, but just as I reached the door, I heard someone calling me.
"Isn't this Ji Wen? Didn't you go to work today? Did you take your girlfriend out for dinner?"
The voice sounded a little strange. I turned around and saw a middle-aged fat man sitting at the door. At first glance, I couldn't remember who he was. I thought, do I have such a friend? After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly realized that this was not my friend, but the boss's friend.
The boss likes to play mahjong. Often his friends would come to the store to find him, or they would play "Pa De Kuai" directly in the store. After a while, I became familiar with his face, but I didn't expect that this fat guy actually remembered my name.
"Uncle, what a coincidence that you are eating here too? I delivered a parcel here today. I'll have lunch first and then continue delivering. Uncle, didn't you go to play mahjong today?" Since he was an acquaintance, I didn't hesitate and sat opposite the fat man to chat with him.
The fat man laughed and said, "How could that be? I'm addicted to mahjong. I feel uncomfortable if I don't play for a day. So today, my brothers invited me to play here. They said they made a new friend recently and wanted to play at his house."
As he spoke, the fat man pointed to a residential complex right opposite the door. I looked in the direction of the fat man's finger. When I saw the community clearly, I suddenly felt as if I was electrocuted. At that moment, the blood flow in my body seemed to speed up countless times. The broken fragments in my brain were completely pieced together at that moment. The clues that I had not been able to remember before also flooded into my mind at this moment!
Is that so
I hurriedly grabbed the fat man and asked him a few questions. The fat man was very puzzled by my strange questions, but seeing my anxious look, he did not hide anything and answered me truthfully. His answers were exactly the same as I had guessed.
It turned out to be true. I finally understood how the murderer disappeared from the scene after killing someone.
Zhang Qishan had already ordered the food. Seeing me sitting in front of a stranger's table in a daze, she came over to ask me if what she ordered was enough and if I needed anything else to eat.
I ignored Zhang Qishan and went straight to my seat to open the file bag I got from Bai Qi. I carefully checked the victims of the four recent cases and their home addresses. Without exception, they were all exactly as I had guessed.
"I understand now. This is the murderer's motive for murder. I should have thought of it a long time ago. Why did I only figure it out now?"
Hearing me talking to myself, Zhang Qishan seemed to understand something and asked hurriedly, "How is it? Did you find any new clues?"
My thoughts were interrupted by Zhang Qishan's question, and I immediately stood up and pulled her out.
"Don't worry, we haven't eaten yet."
"What are you eating? It will be too late if you don't leave now!"
I pulled Zhang Qishan out of the Sichuan restaurant and immediately picked up my phone to contact Officer Yang. When Officer Yang heard that I had made an important discovery, he immediately came to find me with Bai Qi.
I told them my inference. Bai Qi and Officer Yang were both shocked. I guess they had figured it out. This time, there shouldn't be any mistakes in their inference.
Bai Qi was silent for a moment, then asked, "What should we do now? Should we arrest him directly?"
I shook my head and said, "No need. Everything now is just speculation. There is no direct evidence to prove it. The only thing we can do is wait for him to make a move again. But I have already guessed who his next target will be, and I dare to conclude that he will make a move today!"
At 3:15 in the afternoon, in a house in a certain residential area, Zhang Qishan, Bai Qi and Lin Yingxue from the special case team, as well as Officer Yang from the Binhe Police Station and some police officers were lying in ambush. The owner of the house was a young man of about 26 or 27 years old. This young man had obviously never seen such a scene. He was so scared by the room full of police that he hid in the bedroom and dared not come out.
Bai Qi looked at the watch in his hand and said, "Ji Wen, do you think he will really come here today? How sure are you?"
At this moment, I was also very anxious. I bit my lip and said, "Wait a little longer. I believe he will come today."
Sure enough, about five minutes later, there was a brisk sound of coming up the stairs outside the door. The sound stayed at the door, and soon there was a knock on the door.
"Hello, this is XX Express. We have a package for you. Please sign for it."
When I heard the familiar voice outside the door, I felt my whole body tremble. Before coming here, I was very conflicted. I hoped to catch the real murderer in one go, but I also hoped that my speculation was wrong. But now it seems that everything has become a foregone conclusion.
Bai Qi winked at Lin Yingxue, who walked gently to the door. She did not observe the person outside through the peephole, but directly unlocked the door and slowly opened the door little by little. She stood at the door carefully without exposing her body.
Officer Yang and others behind him were all on alert, pulling out their guns and pointing them at the door, waiting for the person outside to come in.
When the door was opened about ten centimeters, a hand holding a sharp dagger suddenly stretched out from the crack of the door and stabbed into the house! Lin Yingxue had already stood at the door, so she was not stabbed. She grabbed the wrist of the hand and kicked the door shut again. The hand was pinched by the door and dropped the dagger in pain. Lin Yingxue opened the door again and threw the man at the door into the house with an over-the-shoulder throw. The remaining police officers immediately surrounded the man with guns and shouted, "Don't move! Put your hands up!"
The man knew that he could not escape the law, so he slowly raised his hands and his eyes slowly swept over everyone in the room, finally stopping his gaze on me. I could not see any anger in his eyes, but I read a hint of relieved smile in them.
The police officers rushed forward and handcuffed the man tightly. Officer Yang and Bai Qi both showed extremely relaxed smiles on their faces, because they all knew that this time, they really caught the right person.
At this time, the young man who had been hiding in the bedroom came out. Seeing the man being arrested on the ground, he sneered, "I was wondering who was going to kill me. It turns out to be a courier. What a born bastard. He deserves to be arrested!"
Hearing this, my already suppressed emotions instantly exploded. I felt a ball of fire in my body suddenly rushing to the top of my head. I rushed over and punched the young man to the ground. In an instant, his nose bled and tears came out at the same time.
"Police comrade, why is he beating people? You don't do anything about it? Hurry up and arrest him too, he must be this guy's accomplice!" The young man twisted on the ground, holding his bleeding nose in pain, but he didn't dare to look into my angry eyes and kept begging Officer Yang beside him.
Officer Yang looked at the young man coldly and said coldly: "Sorry, I didn't see anything. If you continue to make trouble, I will arrest you too."
After punching the young man, I felt a little relieved. I spat at him and said, "You still don't know why you were murdered? It's really unnecessary for me to save you. If I had known you were like this, I might as well wait until people like you disappeared from the world."
After saying that, I let out a long sigh, turned my head to look at the murderer who was handcuffed by the police, and felt that even my voice began to tremble at this moment.
"Boss, why are you doing this?"
