Bai Qi's call came very abruptly. Before I could ask what happened, he hung up the phone. It was obvious that Bai Qi on the other end of the phone was busy again.
Although I only ate one or two bites and there was still a lot left to eat, we didn't have time for that now. I packed up some things that could be eaten raw, paid the bill, and quickly returned to the police station.
When we left, there were not many people in the police station because most of them were busy investigating the images of the two suspects we had obtained. Now the corridors of the police station were once again filled with many people jogging. After we squeezed into Bai Qi's office, we saw Bai Qi talking to a few people I didn't know.
"You guys are here? Come here quickly."
When Bai Qi saw us coming in, he immediately called us over, but I was still confused and hurried forward to listen to what was going on. When I arrived at the desk, Bai Qi was talking to those people I didn't know, while handing me the phone in his hand, without telling me what to do.
But I didn't ask Bai Qi. I just turned on the screen of my phone and found that it was playing a video. The edge of the video was decorated with some decorations to enhance the atmosphere. Obviously, this was another live video broadcast on a mobile phone.
I immediately adjusted the video to the beginning, then played it, and watched it carefully. I saw that the place shown in the video should be a lawn in a park. However, on the edge of a huge rock at the edge of the lawn, there was a person sitting sideways. The person was a little far from the camera, and his appearance was not clear, but from his clothes, I could tell that this person should also be a policeman!
Looking more closely, the policeman in uniform was completely motionless, and his chest seemed to be pierced by something. Although the bloodstains could not be seen clearly due to the dark color of the uniform, the grass under his body had been dyed blood red. The thing that pierced his body was like an iron nail, nailing his body to the boulder behind him.
The content of the video is very short, and there is no sign of camera movement. It is obvious that what happened to Tang Qingfeng the day before yesterday happened again today.
No matter who the murdered policeman was, when we saw another policeman being killed, we all felt very heavy. Bai Qi was anxiously assigning tasks to those strangers. I didn't disturb him. After silently watching the video in my hand several times, I put my phone on the table and walked to the sofa to smoke quietly.
Bai Longfei and the others saw that I was thinking about something, so they didn't disturb me. I don't know how much time had passed, but Bai Longfei suddenly pushed me, and I came back to my senses from my thoughts. I found that the strangers who were in the room just now had left, and Bai Qi was rubbing his eyes and motioning for us to come over.
"Uncle Bai, what happened this time? Who is the deceased?"
Bai Qi sighed and briefly told me what had happened.
The deceased was from the Dengfeng City Police Department and was Tang Qingfeng's right-hand man. Before we came yesterday, he went to a checkpoint to investigate something. Who knew that this morning, he had already turned into a corpse. Bai Qi asked the deceased about the checkpoint he went to yesterday, and found out that the deceased did not go there at all.
The person who reported the case was a staff member of the live broadcast platform. They received a complaint from a tourist this morning and only then did they realize that such a thing had happened. They then called the police, and finally the police passed the news to Bai Qi in Dengfeng City.
After learning what happened, I immediately understood that the deceased must have died yesterday. He must have been on his way to perform a mission when he was discovered and forcibly taken away by the gangsters.
Thinking of this, I immediately asked Bai Qi, "Uncle Bai, where is the crime scene? Is it far from the checkpoint where the deceased was going?"
Bai Qi seemed to know what I was going to ask. He found a document from the messy documents on the table and said, "It's very far. The checkpoint the deceased was going to was in the north of Dengfeng City, but the place where he died was in the east. What's even more strange is that the place where the deceased died was the same place where Tang Qingfeng died!"
Hearing this, I immediately became alert. Why did the criminals choose the same place for two consecutive murders? Could it be that they really intended to let the police focus on this place and then wait for an opportunity to break through from the west
I originally thought that since the gangsters were in a critical situation, they should have behaved themselves. Who knew they would be so high-profile and kill two police officers in a row? Such behavior can no longer be described as audacious.
"Uncle Bai, since the news of the death was also broadcast live this time, where is the owner of the live broadcast on the phone? Why can't we see him in the video?"
Bai Qi sighed and said, "Of course they died together, but this time the dead anchor was strangled to death. The corpse was holding a mobile phone in his hand and pointing it at our people, so he can't be seen in the video."
Bai Qi looked at me and said, "This incident has a very bad impact. We are almost unable to bear the pressure from public opinion and the pressure from the leaders above. Once the drawing is exposed by the media, we will face many unknown things! Ji Wen, how do you plan to investigate this matter? Tell me your ideas."
After hearing what Bai Qi said, I thought about it carefully and said, "I think the murderer chose to kill people at the same place twice. We are responsible for not taking precautions, but it also explains something. I think, either they are really planning to implement a plan to force their way out from the west, or their destination is actually near the place where the two murders took place, because the most dangerous place is the safest place."
"So I have to go there anyway to see why they chose that place to kill people and what their intentions are. In addition, judging from the current situation, the murderer doesn't know that we have their portrait information and will most likely continue to kill people. Uncle Bai, please make arrangements as soon as possible and send out more police officers to act alone to stay alert at all times and see if you can lure the murderer out."
Bai Qi nodded and said, "I understand what you said. I will give the order in a moment. But don't you plan to start the investigation from the dead anchor this time?"
"No need. We already have the portrait information, and the host doesn't have any particularly valuable clues. It's better not to waste time."
Bai Qi asked us some more questions, and then told us to hurry up and be careful on the road. He immediately picked up the phone, as if he was about to contact someone to tell them something. His busy appearance made me feel a little distressed.
After we packed up our things, we went out to look for Xiao Dai. We had asked Xiao Dai to park the car in front of the police station and be on standby at any time. When we arrived at the police station, we saw Xiao Dai sleeping in the car. After asking us where we were going, he didn't say anything and just took us towards our destination.
It took us two days to reach our destination, and I ate some food we brought from the skewers shop on the way, so I finally filled my stomach. Our destination was a remote park in the local area. Because of two consecutive murders, the entire park had been blocked by the police. We asked Xiao Dai to wait for us at the door, and then we got off the car to explain our identities and purpose. Under the guidance of the police, we walked towards the place where the murder happened today.
After walking for about five or six minutes, I saw a large number of police officers gathered in front of me from a distance. It seemed that they were investigating the cause of death of the two deceased and collecting evidence at the scene. Seeing so many people, I didn't plan to go over and asked the police officer who led us to take us directly to Tang Qingfeng's crime scene, because I thought it was more likely that Tang Qingfeng had left clues. The police officer who led us didn't say anything and took me towards the place where Tang Qingfeng was killed.
The place where Tang Qingfeng was murdered was in the woods on the edge of the park. The woods were quite large and there were no guardrails around them. There was a road outside the woods and transportation was very convenient. It was no wonder that the criminals chose such a place as the murder site.
We walked into the woods for a few minutes, and the police officer who led us seemed to be a little lost. He stood there for a long time to identify the direction before he finally determined the direction and continued to lead us forward. But before we had walked for a minute or two, I saw from a distance that there were two people hanging on the branches of a big tree in front of us that looked very similar to the one in the video when Tang Qingfeng was killed!
Not to mention us, even the police officer who led us was shocked by the scene in front of us. He looked ahead in confusion, not knowing what to do for a moment. But a few of us reacted instantly and immediately rushed towards the big tree in front of us, wanting to see who was hanging on it!
I didn't expect that a murder would happen again in the same place. I was still thinking in my mind whether another police officer was killed this time or whether the criminals were so bold. But when we walked up and saw the faces of the two men clearly, the worldviews of the three of us were overturned!
We saw two tall foreigners in plain clothes hanging on the tree branches. When we saw the faces of the two foreigners clearly, we found that the two dead were the two foreigners we saw in the surveillance video of Taibaiju Hotel!
