Everyone rushed to the scene and saw an old man lying in the silt under the bridge. His upper body was stripped of clothes. His chest and back were covered with plaster-like things. Peng Sijue stepped forward to check and found that the old man’s lips were dry and his eyes were dry. Rush, red skin on the neck.
Uncovering a piece of "plaster" on the corpse, Peng Sijue immediately understood that it was a warm patch available in convenience stores.
"These are warm stickers on the deceased. I think the cause of death should be heat exhaustion. The body surface temperature exceeds the body's ability to remove heat, causing serious dehydration of cells, failure of various organs, and finally heart and lung stop." Peng Sijue concluded.
This method of death was undoubtedly a long and cruel murder. The old man’s mouth was blocked. In order to make the warm paste completely dissipate heat, the murderer tied the old man’s hands and feet together, stretched out and couldn’t bend over, late at night. No one noticed the abnormality under the bridge at all when the cars were going on and off the bridge. Everyone shuddered at the thought of the situation at that time.
Chen Shi said: "This is another method of killing people mentioned in the novel. It is terrible when you think about it. These readers can actually kill people when they are used as the bridge of a curious story."
Looking at the old man's body, Lin Qiupu felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He murmured: "There must be no more deaths!"
Except for the technical police investigating the scene, Lin Qiupu asked other people not to stay on the scene anymore and immediately went around to look for Xu Guolong's whereabouts.
"Wait..." Chen Shi said, "Where is the deceased's clothes?"
After he said, everyone discovered that the old man's clothes were not there. Lin Dongxue said, "You mean he put the clothes on?"
"It's possible that the cases yesterday and today are in this area, tens of kilometers in radius, and surveillance is everywhere. The police are now searching for him everywhere. If he walks on the street, he will be easily spotted."
Lin Qiupu observed the remains and took out the photos of the deceased before his death. He said, "This old man had a beard, but now he has been shaved. It may be used by the suspect as a make-up changer. Please pay attention to finding someone wearing brown clothes to keep. The'old man' of Laoyanghu."
"Is this another part of the novel?" Lin Dongxue asked Chen Shi.
"No, I think he should play hide-and-seek with the police now. Although he has no education, human potential is endless at this time."
Chen Shi suddenly thought of the hard years of "hide and seek" with the police when Song Lang was wanted in the city. In order to avoid the police, how dark horns could be hidden.
He cast aside these thoughts and said to Lin Dongxue: "We still continue to do our things and persuade that guy to leave."
Lin Dongxue said: "I plan to go again in the afternoon. In the morning, I will follow my brother to find the suspect."
"Well, it should be late."
Unknowingly in the afternoon, there was still no progress on the police side. Xin Bai was still lying on his side on the table in the conference room. The two walked in. Xin Bai opened and closed his eyes. Chen Shi said, "Mr. Bai, you Are you taking a nap?"
"What can I do without sleeping, there is nothing here," he said stiffly.
"How nice it is for you to go home. You can use a computer and play games. By the way, should you update the novel? Your readers are all in trouble."
"No more, I was finally arrested, such a good procrastination is more reason why I should waste it!?"
Chen Shi folded his palms together, and said, "Another old man was killed early this morning, one life, brother, I beg you, don't be so persuaded, if you walk out of this door now, Dongxue and I will protect you personally!"
"What does it matter to me?" Xin Bai said angrily, "Can you not put the responsibility of the dead on me? Isn't this responsibility yours? I can't catch anyone in two days!"
"There are hundreds of thousands of people in XX district, and there are only dozens of police officers. Two days are not enough."
"Anyway, I won't leave here, you guys don't want to push me into the fire pit, huh!"
Chen Shi scratched his head straight. He was too stubborn. He wondered if he should get some ether to numb him and drag him away.
At this time, Lin Dongxue leaned over and said, "I have something to tell you."
In front of the beauty, Xin Bai was still a little reserved. She sat up and wrapped her clothes and said with a blushing face: "Don't persuade, really, where is my freedom to stay. You have the energy to catch suspects." Up here!"
"Can I show you something?" Lin Dongxue took out a photo of a woman. "This woman is called Qin Xuemei. She runs an online shop at home and works freely, just like you. Her husband works in another city and only comes back once a week. , The husband and wife are going to have children in the second half of the year. Every time her husband comes back, she will go to the supermarket to buy food early in the morning, and then make a table of delicious food. Do you know what her biggest goal is? She feels that her teeth are not beautiful and neat enough I want to save money to get a set of the most expensive porcelain teeth, so that I will laugh more confidently... But this will never be achieved, because her life was frozen yesterday morning, and the forensic doctors speculated that her death was as long as possible. For two hours, I was gagged and couldn't scream. Facing the abuse and abuse of a stranger, thinking about the person I love the most, I died in despair."
Lin Dongxue's tone was sad, Xin Bai moved her body uncomfortably, and said, "What does this have to do with me?"
Lin Dongxue took out another photo of the deceased, "This old man is called Han Jianjun, 70 years old this year..."
She vividly described the lives of the deceased and the painful experience of their deaths. Chen Shi understood her intention. She wanted to let Xin Bai know that two lives are not just a number, but two lively lives forever. Disappeared, two families were hit hard, and countless friends and relatives were hit.
"You should have read that Hemingway novel, "For Whom the Bell Tolls", I remember a sentence in the book, don’t ask for whom the bell tolls, the bell tolls for you... Everyone’s death is related to you. "Lin Dongxue said.
Xin Bai's face was red and scratching his neck, and for a while, Lin Dongxue continued to move with affection, "No one knows who the next victim is, but as long as you are willing to go home, that person can escape, and our police have more. More time to hunt down the real murderer."
Xin Bai slowly shook his head, "You are all deceived by him. He is a carnival killer. Asking to release me is just a cover... Forget it, I will go home now, but you must protect me."
Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief. This stubborn guy was finally persuaded. Xin Bai packed his things and went to the bathroom to wash his face. Chen Shi said to Lin Dongxue, "You really have you, so you made these preparations in the morning."
"I haven't inquired too much, part of it is my personal play!"
"Good job... By the way, you bring your gun."
"Take it!"
When Xin Bai tidied up, the two of them walked out with him. Seeing the sunshine again, Xin Bai sighed and turned to Chen Shi, "How many perverts are there in this city? It's really hard for you to be the police!"
