Chapter 33: Demon Hunt (33)

Views:

Dongye City, Xicheng District.

At midnight, the lights and shadows of the "Black Leaf Thorn" bar were flying, and the crowd was full of people. The strong rhythm of the music overwhelmed all the whispers, almost toppling the roof covered with artificial cobwebs. The crazy young man twisted his body to the beat of the drum, and the beer bottle in his hand flickered in the harsh light.

This bar is one of the most famous nightclubs in Xicheng District. It is said that the owner has quite a background and can talk on both roads. The security inside and outside the store is top-notch. If someone makes trouble, they will not wait for the police to arrive. , the thugs will "clean up" them all.

There was a theme performance in the bar today. The captain of the security team, Brother Wang, transferred the most capable people in the team to the infield, and the rest stayed outside.

Winter in Ye City is late in summer, the sun is hot when the sun is shining, and it is still hot when the sun is out of sight. Although the infield is crowded and noisy, it is air-conditioned anyway, which is better than standing outside.

Before the performance, Zhang Xiong deliberately found Brother Wang and used his poor Mandarin to ask the other party to let him go to the infield.

Brother Wang didn't agree, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can't keep it inside, I know you are good, but not to mention those men who are more than 1.8 meters tall, even women wearing high heels are taller than you. "

When Zhang Xiong heard it, his face was black, but Brother Wang was the little boss here, and he was his immediate boss. He was new here, and he only had a fake certificate. He finally found a job.

The night in the city is different from that in the hometown. When the hometown is at night, the sky is dark, but the night sky here is purple.

Zhang Xiong listened to the music and screams behind him, stared at the sky where he couldn't see a single star, and after wiping off the sweat with a wet towel again, he gritted his teeth and cursed.

"What's wrong?" Xianzai, who was also arranged outside, turned around and said with a smile, "Brother Xiong, are you so angry?"

Zhang Xiong stroked his shirt irritably - he wasn't too dressed to care about this stuff, "Aren't you hot?"

Xian Zai laughed, "What does it have to do with the heat? Isn't it just sweating? Let's just lose weight. Brother Wang let me in, but I don't even bother to go in. It's crowded here, so it's better to be open and comfortable here."

"But there's an air conditioner inside." Zhang Xiong's shirt was soaked through, and his body odor came out, and the inferior perfume couldn't cover it.

"Tsk, what if there is an air conditioner?" Xianzai said, "Brother Xiong, I think you always like to stand at the air conditioner outlet, just like when I was a child. Why, your hometown doesn't have an air conditioner?"

Zhang Xiong shook his head, "No."

Now Zai is happy, "How remote is that? By the way, you seem to have not said, where is your hometown?"

Zhang Xiong was about to speak when he heard a commotion coming from the main entrance of the bar.

They are guarding the side door of the bar, which is not a short distance away from the main entrance.

"Fuck, why did the police car come?" Xianzai saw the flashing red and blue light, "Don't the boss have acquaintances in the bureau? Why did he suddenly come to check on us?"

Zhang Xiong's pupils tightened, and his expression suddenly changed.

He seemed to want to run, but was watching the police.

Xian Zai stretched his neck, "They went inside, what are they doing?"

The security guard on duty at the main entrance ran over and said that it seemed like a routine inspection, and the boss knew about it.

Xianzai is not nervous all of a sudden, "I just said, we are the safest here."

Zhang Xiong also breathed a sigh of relief.

But five minutes later, Brother Wang suddenly led a few policemen out of the side door, glanced at the security guard, and stretched out his hand: "There."

This sound was actually very light, at least Xianzi didn't hear it, but Zhang Xiong seemed to smell a dangerous animal, his eyes were cold, he turned and ran quickly to the road.

Just as he turned around, two police officers without uniforms rushed out from Brother Wang at the same time, tearing apart the night and heading straight for the fleeing!

"Zhang Xiong!" Brother Wang shouted and chased after him.

In an instant, police cars speeded along the busy streets, sirens roared, vehicles in motion were forced to stop, sharp braking sounds came one after another, mixed with people's screams.

Zhang Xiong shuttled through the traffic like an extremely sensitive ape.

A taxi rushed towards him out of control, he dodged and flipped directly over the hood of the taxi.

After standing still, he turned around abruptly and found that he hadn't been able to get rid of the two policemen!

The scars on his cheeks looked even more hideous at the moment, as if they were about to come to life, and strange dialects poured out of his mouth, like a vicious spell.

The siren was getting closer, and the chasing police were getting closer. He hesitated for a moment, but he actually opened the taxi door and dragged the driver out.

The driver was thrown to the ground, shaking in horror.

"You fucking dare to hijack a car!"

The one who killed with this sound was the policeman who ran at the front. Zhang Xiong's pupils suddenly tightened, and before he could hit the accelerator, he saw the policeman kicking the window glass to pieces.

Mingshu shouted, "Lu Yanzhou!"

"Come on!" Lu Yanzhou followed closely, almost repeating Zhang Xiong's action of dragging the driver, and threw Zhang Xiong to the ground.

Zhang Xiong quickly turned over and wanted to resist, but the gun in Mingshu's hand was already aimed at his head.

The arrest started when Yi Fei discovered that Zhan Huanxiong had left Liuqi City.

Zhou Yuan led the technical investigation team to use portrait tracking and found that Zhan Huanxiong arrived in Dongye City on June 5, and then appeared near Luo Xiangfu's house many times, and followed Luo Xiangfu from a distance when he went out to take pictures.

In mid-June, Zhan Huanxiong started working at the bar "Black Leaf with Thorn".

After going to Zhan Huanxiong's home in Maoyi Village, Mingshu hurried back to Dongye City and found Ye Chi, the boss of "Black Leaves Has Thorn". This person looks elegant and elegant. In his early years, he was actually a man on the road. He experienced a case a few years ago and became Mingshu's "teammate" in a sense, providing some clues to the police from time to time. It is for this reason that "Black Leaf with Thorn" has never been checked by the police.

"Is there something wrong with this Zhang Xiong?" Ye Chi flipped through the employee information, "He only came last month."

Mingshu said with a cold face: "The documents are all fucking fake, so you let him come to your site as a security guard?"

Ye Chi raised his hands with a smile and made a gesture of surrender, "I'm a place to hide dirt, don't you know it best? If everyone who comes to work with me is innocent, I can still help you. Are you busy? Besides, I'm not in charge of recruiting. If you don't come to me today, I don't even know that there are such people under my command."

Mingshu slashed over with an eye knife, and Ye Chi immediately smiled and said, "Just kidding, I still know about this person, but I don't know that he is related to the case you are investigating."

Mingshu called the manager, and only after asking, did he know that on the day Luo Xiangfu was killed, Zhan Huanxiong was supposed to work, but he changed shifts with his colleagues on the grounds that he was not feeling well.

The next day, Zhan Huanxiong still did not return to his post.

Due to Zhan Huanxiong's special identity, the arrest operation was jointly carried out by the serious crime team and the special police detachment. Lu Yanzhou put handcuffs on Zhan Huanxiong, and said to Mingshu, "My good fellow, you can run like a ****! Xiao Ming, you can run with your legs, faster than I can!"

Serious Crimes Interrogation Room.

Zhan Huanxiong's sitting posture is different from that of most suspects who have ever sat here - his neck is pressed down, his shoulders are raised high, like a hunting beast.

"Zhan Huanxiong." Mingshu called his name, "Why did you come to Dongye City?"

The first time he heard his real name in Dongye City, Zhan Huanxiong's eyes changed suddenly, and his murderous intention was full.

I have seen this look.

Zhan Huanxiong is a man who has been on a real battlefield, killing people with guns and knives. The fierceness that comes from his bones and blood is completely different from the bullies and local snakes in the city.

The recorder was stared at a few times, and instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Mingshu was not affected by this aura at all, and repeated: "Why did you come to Dongye City?"

Probably because he had never seen such a majestic police officer, or he still had lingering fears about being fingered with a pistol not long ago, Zhan Huanxiong asked in his strange accent, "Why did you arrest me?"

"Good question." Mingshu sneered, "I have more than one reason to arrest you."

Zhan Huanxiong's scar twitched.

"You are not from our country. Shetu Town treats you preferentially and gives you the right to temporarily live in Maoyi Village. But when you go through the registration process, you should be clear that your scope of activities is limited to Liuqi City." Mingshu said: "Not Including Dongye City."

Zhan Huanxiong scratched his nails on the table, "Are you going to take me back?"

"Do you want to go back?" Mingshu asked back.

Zhan Huanxiong looked puzzled, and shook his head after a few seconds, "It's fine here."

This answer was somewhat unexpected.

In fact, Zhan Huanxiong's work as a security guard in "Black Leaf Has Thorn" has made him feel strange.

The purpose of Zhan Huanxiong coming to Dongye City is to take revenge on Luo Xiangfu. Shouldn't he leave immediately after revenge? Why stay and be a security guard

Is it following the principle of "the most dangerous place is the safest place"

Mingshu thought for a moment, no longer planning to go around with Zhan Huanxiong, directly put Luo Xiangfu's photo on the table, stared at Zhan Huanxiong and said: "You know you can't leave Liuqi City, but you still come to Dongye City. Your goal is to he."

When he saw the person in the photo clearly, Zhan Huanxiong's shoulders and chest froze obviously.

"I'm right?" Mingshu tapped the photo with his index finger, "Your country allows one husband to have multiple concubines, Shetu Town respects your customs, and the girl you are about to marry is influenced by Luo Xiangfu's photo and refuses to have sex with you. Get married. He is ashamed and angry, and wants to avenge Luo Xiangfu in the savage way of your country."

Zhan Huanxiong's arms burst with blue veins, and an angry growl roared from his throat.

"On July 2, Luo Xiangfu was killed, and you happened to ask for leave on the grounds of physical discomfort." Mingshu glanced at him, "But I think you are in good health. Is your leave to do something else?"

Zhan Huanxiong shouted: "I didn't kill Luo Xiangfu!"

Mingshu narrowed his eyes, "You don't seem surprised at all that Luo Xiangfu has been killed."

Zhan Huanxiong's eyes widened and he was speechless.

"Why do you know that he has been killed?" Mingshu's tone gave people a strong sense of oppression, "Or is Luo Xiangfu killed by you?"

"It's not me!" Zhan Huanxiong gasped, as if he wanted to explain, but couldn't find the right words.

Half a minute later, he spoke a series of Shetu Town dialects. He was emotional and spoke so fast that no one in the entire interrogation room could understand him.

Mingshu had long expected this situation, and brought Wen Li with him when he left Shetu Town.

Wen Li was invited into the interrogation room. As soon as Zhan Huanxiong saw her, he was actually quiet in his seat for about ten seconds, then patted the table, constantly waving his handcuffed hands together, mouth like a machine gun, and sweating as he spoke.

"He's scolding me." Wen Li was very nervous, and his voice trembled.

Mingshu reassured: "You don't have to worry when I'm here. Help me find out what happened to Luo Xiangfu when he was killed, and the reason why he went to work at 'Hei Ye You Thorn'."

The two languages were switched back and forth, and Wen Li was already sweating on his neck.

Zhan Huanxiong admitted that he came to Dongye City from Shetu Town just to avenge Luo Xiangfu, but when he first arrived in Dongye City, he only knew the other party's surname Luo, and he vaguely remembered the other party because he had seen him from a distance in Shetu Town. His appearance, nothing else is known. So, he began to take the street post office as the center and wandered around all day long.

Compared with Liuqi City, the prosperity of Dongye City is beyond Zhan Huanxiong's cognition. In the process of looking for Luo Xiangfu, he became more and more reluctant to return to Snake Tu Town. Shetu Town is too biased and poor, and the women in Shetu Town are too dark and ugly. Even if they are king in Shetu Town, their home is nothing but an earthen house. In summer, it is too hot to die. Mosquitoes are flying everywhere, and water leaks when it rains. Living in Dongye City, even if you just work as a security guard in a bar, you can blow air conditioners every day.

Before he could find Luo Xiangfu, Zhan Huanxiong found a security job in the "Black Leaf with Thorn" bar. Although he is a country man, his Mandarin is very strange, and his height is not up to standard, he is more flexible and skilled. The captain of the security team, Brother Wang, kept him. On the first day he went to work, he taught the local ruffian who came to make trouble.

There is a staff dormitory in the bar. Zhan Huanxiong first lived there, but he slept very little. He watched the scene at night, and spent most of the day looking for Luo Xiangfu on the street.

Looking for a person in Dongye City, relying on this reckless method is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack. You go to the commercial center and squat. The person you mentioned should be a street shooter. They like to go to that kind of place. Also, aren't we near the popular science playground? You can also look there and you should be able to find it.

In late June, Zhan Huanxiong really found Luo Xiangfu at the popular science playground.

It was very easy for him to kill Luo Xiangfu, but the time he worked in the bar had already made him understand that there were cameras everywhere in Dongye City that Shetu Town did not have, and the criminal police were a hundred times more fierce than the policemen in Shetu Town. .

He once went to the Xicheng District Bureau and the Dongye City Bureau to see them, and the solemn buildings terrified him.

How to kill Luo Xiangfu without being discovered

He thinks about it every day.

Either do it completely unknowingly, or leave quickly after revealing some flaws. Anyway, as long as you return to Shetu Town, you will be the king of the mountain.

He was not sure about the former situation, and the latter situation was planned before he came, but after enjoying the prosperity of Dongye City, he no longer wanted to leave here.

Hesitating left and right, the revenge plan has never been implemented.

Zhan Huanxiong didn't dare to take action easily, but he couldn't let Luo Xiangfu go. Later, he simply rented the cheapest house in the old housing area near Luo's house and quietly familiarized himself with the surrounding surveillance.

Before Luo Xiangfu was killed, he had already discovered which public cameras were decorations, and where were the blind spots of most cameras. At the same time, he also found that Luo Xiangfu was always alone.

This "lonely and widowed old man" is the easiest to solve.

But what Zhan Huanxiong didn't expect was that Luo Xiangfu's enemy was not only himself.

On July 2, Zhan Huanxiong suffered from gastroenteritis and asked the manager for leave after repeated diarrhea. But by the time it was time to go to work, his condition had subsided.

The leave is through the manager, but he knew that it was Xian Zai who changed shifts with him, so he contacted Xian Zai and planned to change the shift back.

Xianzai is very reluctant, "Brother Xiong, you can't do this, I have pushed the matter of today, and if you want to change it back, it will not be enough brother."

Zhan Huanxiong didn't know much about the sophistication of people in the city. Seeing that Xianzai didn't want to change it back, he felt that it was no big deal to change it or not, so he hung up the phone.

At this time, it was about to fall into the night, and he lay down for a while in the simple rental house. He remembered that Brother Wang said that street photography lovers like to photograph beautiful women in the evening and at night, so he quickly got up and planned to follow Luo Xiangfu.

He knew where Luo Xiangfu lived, and when he went to the neighborhood, he saw that the lights of Luo's house were not on.

Luo Xiangfu was not at home, so he must have gone somewhere to take pictures.

It's not that he has no brains at all. After a little thought, he felt that Luo Xiangfu was an old man at night. He shouldn't go too far to take pictures. If he didn't think about the Nancheng District of Beicheng District, he would most likely gather in a few streets in Xicheng District. land.

After delineating the area, Zhan Huanxiong set off, but until about 10 o'clock in the night, Luo Xiangfu could not be captured.

The bus in Dongye City closed at 11:00 - except for the special night shift line. Zhan Huanxiong thought that only the popular science amusement park had not been there, and he felt that it was so late. Even if Luo Xiangfu went there, he should have left by now.

Whether to go or return, Zhan Huanxiong hesitated for a moment, and finally went in the direction of the popular science playground.

But it wasn't entirely because he wanted to find Luo Xiangfu, but because he really had nothing to do.

When the security guards chatted, they said that because there was no surveillance in the popular science playground, there were occasional "field battles" there.

Zhan Huanxiong not only wanted to take a look, but also wanted to play it himself.

After coming to Dongye City for so long, he could no longer hold back.

But when he arrived at the popular science playground, he saw Luo Xiangfu.

To his surprise, Luo Xiangfu did not carry a DSLR and was looking around.

At that time, no one could be seen in the playground. Zhan Huanxiong became suspicious, and immediately climbed up a tree and covered himself with dense branches and leaves.

This kind of thing is not easy for ordinary people, but he has been a scout, and climbing trees is a necessary skill.

Luo Xiangfu had a strange expression, as if he was waiting for someone.

Soon, a man in a raincoat and hat appeared. TA restrained Luo Xiangfu's neck from behind, and put his right hand directly on Luo Xiangfu's mouth and nose.

Soon, Luo Xiangfu fell down.

The man in the raincoat lifted Luo Xiangfu's clothes, took pictures of Luo Xiangfu's body, and then kept hitting Luo Xiangfu's neck with a slender stick.

Zhan Huanxiong witnessed a murder and subsequent corpse hiding in a tree.

"You're lying!" Fang Yuanhang got up angrily, "If the truth is what you said, why didn't you call the police? You made up a story with loopholes everywhere, that raincoat man is none other than you!"
