The collective murder of the staff who salvaged the reservoir caused quite a stir in the society. Even if the police wanted to cover up this fact, they were powerless.
This time, I saw Li Meilin's stubbornness again. She just stood in the wind and rain, standing on the edge of the reservoir and staring at the water, motionless, until she finally passed out with a fever.
No matter how tough Li Meilin is, she is a woman after all, and there is always a time when she needs a man. I can shield her from the wind and rain, work hard for her, and protect her with my life, but what I can't give her is the support she really needs.
I sent the unconscious Li Meilin to the hospital. I originally planned to find a nurse to help take care of her, but then I felt uneasy, so I called Wei Ruxue to explain the situation at this time, and the latter readily agreed.
In the ward, Wei Ruxue, who was wearing a white dress, was as beautiful as a blooming snow lotus, clean and spotless; she was also like a fairy in the nine heavens who did not eat the fireworks of the world, so beautiful that life would not be blasphemous.
Wei Ruxue looked at Li Meilin, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face and was unconscious, and at me, who was all wet, and couldn't help frowning: "You two just stood in the water all morning?"
I reluctantly squeezed out a bitter smile: "It's not that you don't know Sister Lin's temperament. She stands in the rain and refuses to leave. What can I do?"
Wei Ruxue nodded expressionlessly: "So you just stayed with her like this—in the rain?"
"Otherwise, what else can I do? Can I go to the car alone to hide from the rain? If she accidentally falls into the reservoir, I will blame myself for the rest of my life." I didn't have any complaints, but my tone was a little helpless. , helpless to Li Meilin's stubbornness.
"It seems that Mei Lin made a very correct decision when she went out of her way to save you." Wei Ruxue pulled the corner of her mouth, as if smiling.
I thought I had hallucinations, in my impression, I have never seen Wei Ruxue smile. She is like an iceberg that has not melted for thousands of years.
I don't know what a woman like Wei Ruxue has experienced, but I can be sure that something unforgettable must have happened to her.
"Sister Xue, Sister Lin, I'll ask you to take care of me. I still have things to do, so I'll go first." After speaking, I finally looked at Li Meilin, who was unconscious, and walked out of the ward.
"You still want to go to the reservoir?" Wei Ruxue asked me from behind.
I paused, but didn't look back: "If I can't find some clues before Sister Lin wakes up, I can't explain it to her."
Wei Ruxue didn't say anything, just watched my resolute back disappear at the door of the ward.
The impact of this incident was extremely bad. When I returned to the reservoir again, I found that even the top police officers rushed to the scene in the rain.
"Xiao Luo, Mei Lin, is she okay?" The man in front of him who was asking the question had a resolute face and a straight body, giving him a sense of oppression that was not angry and mighty.
He is Luo Maolin, the detachment leader of the Criminal Investigation Detachment. He is in his early 40s. I heard that he is a cadre who retired from the SWAT academy and belongs to Li Meilin's immediate boss.
According to the gossip, Li Meilin once also studied at the SWAT Academy, and the reason why she has been single until now, apart from her own sturdyness, is because she has been secretly in love with Luo Maolin, who is a dozen years older than her.
"Because of being in the rain for a long time, I passed out with a fever. It's not a big deal. Team Luo can rest assured." I reported Li Meilin's situation truthfully.
Hearing what I said, the worried look on Luo Maolin's face was noticeably lighter, and there was a sense of relief.
"Xiao Luo, you have assisted Mei Lin to handle this serial murder case from the very beginning. What do you think about it?"
Luo Maolin asked me suddenly, and I was not surprised. Because of Li Meilin's relationship, I have helped the police solve many cases, and I am familiar with Luo Maolin.
I pondered a little and said, "I think this case may be a conspiracy since the mysterious call to the police. This conspiracy may be to promote the existence of vampires to people, and another may be to demonstrate to the police. ."
It is not without basis that I say this. Two blood holes in the neck of the deceased have been found on the two corpses that have been examined so far. In the video found on the cell phone of the reservoir administrator, a person dressed as a vampire also appeared. The murderer's purpose seems to be to deliberately lead the police and the public who do not know the truth to associate with vampires.
The murderer dared to kill more than a dozen staff who were salvaging the reservoir overnight, which showed that he was not afraid of the police at all, and was obviously a blatant provocation.
This can't help but remind me of the hunchback man in the unsolved headless case before. He once threatened me to give up the investigation after committing the crime. Otherwise, even if the real culprit can be caught, there will be many innocent people. die.
Luo Maolin nodded: "The recent two cases have really made us grieved, but there is a sense of powerlessness. The murderer is not only extremely brutal, but also has a strange modus operandi, and his whereabouts are extremely hidden."
"If the murderer intends to provoke the police, then he will definitely make new moves in the future. As long as we are more careful in the future, we believe that the tragedy can be avoided. And our first task now is to salvage the bodies in the reservoir and find out The identities of these victims will be further investigated through their social networks during their lifetimes."
"I agree with you on this point. We have contacted the relevant departments again to assist in salvaging the body at the bottom of the reservoir. I believe the identity of the victim will be found out soon."
"Well, by the way, Team Luo, can the comrades we sent out to investigate the surveillance video of the road leading to the reservoir find anything?"
"Yes, our police officers have found the vehicles and pedestrians traveling to and from the reservoir on the day of the incident from the surveillance video extracted from a section of road about five kilometers away from the reservoir. They are currently investigating one by one."
I nodded: "If there is any new progress, please let me know as soon as possible."
"I will! It's really hard for you." Luo Maolin raised his hand and patted my shoulder, "I still have important things to deal with, so I'll leave it to you here."
"Despite my heart, Team Luo will always be at the reservoir scene. I want to see if the murderer dares to blatantly come out and commit murder in broad daylight."
Luo Maolin didn't say much. He was Li Meilin's immediate boss. If such a thing happened, his situation was not much better. He is really busy now. On the one hand, he has to deal with various questions from those reporters and report the progress of the case to his superiors.
I stayed in the reservoir from noon to evening, and all the corpses from the bottom of the water were salvaged, including more than a dozen staff members who were killed at night, and their bodies were loaded into the reservoir where the car sank together.
Looking at the two cars of corpses, my face kept sinking. I asked Zhang Hongwei to lead someone to remove all the corpses in the car. I went up to check one by one. As I expected, the fatal injuries of the staff members were two blood holes in the neck. There are no other wounds.
"Luo Chao, do you think the murderer is really a vampire? Otherwise, why didn't one of a dozen people survive? And there was no chance to call the police?" Li Shengnan stood behind me and couldn't help it. asked me quietly.
I glanced at her and asked without answering, "You also believe in the existence of vampires in this world?"
Li Shengnan nodded: "I believe it."
I have nothing to say about it.
Among dozens of corpses, I found the victim who appeared in the video, which also confirmed my previous speculation that the video was deliberately shot to confuse the police.
I also roughly checked the dozens of corpses deposited at the bottom of the reservoir, and found another commonality. As long as these corpses can still be identified by their appearance, they are all women. And those corpses that have rotted to the point where only white bones remain, it is not difficult to judge from the bones that they are all women.
Dozens of corpses and bones were placed together, and the scene was like purgatory on earth, making people dare not look directly. Judging from the corpses of different degrees of decay, the time interval between the deaths of the deceased is very long, three or five years, or even ten or eight years is possible.
If these victims were all killed by the same murderer, then this person is definitely a master murderer.
Why are all the dead people killed before are women
Why are so many bodies thrown into the reservoir for so many years and no one found
Why are so many people killed but the police fail to receive reports of missing persons
I don't understand what kind of conspiracy is behind this. In the end, dozens of corpses were transported back and forth five times by two corpse trucks before they were all transported to the funeral home.
Afterwards, I called Luo Maolin and briefly reported the situation at the scene. Luo Maolin complimented me a few times and then told me that the police officers who were sent out to collect the surveillance video of the road section had already locked a suspicious vehicle, and the specific information had been obtained. Someone sent it to me.
"Luo Chao, why do you look so worried? We have found important clues now, so we should be happy?" Li Shengnan asked me in confusion.
Zhang Hongwei, who was driving next to him, also echoed: "Yes, as long as the owner of the car is found, the murderer will be caught soon."
For the optimism of the two, I can only laugh bitterly. Since the murderer can leave no clues at the murder scene, how can he reveal his whereabouts because of a car
"The murderer is not as simple as we thought. What if the vehicle found was stolen by him?"
After I said this, the two looked at each other and closed their mouths tacitly.
When we found the owner of the suspicious vehicle based on the information, we were caught by the shape of the person in front of us.
The other party was a young man in his early twenties, with long fiery red hair covering most of his face, with large earrings on his ears, and a fake gold necklace around his neck that he obtained from somewhere. The black skull vest has enlarged floral pants, a pair of flip-flops under his feet, and a weird tattoo on his arm.
Li Shengnan and Zhang Hongwei stared at the red hair for a while with big eyes and small eyes, and finally they all turned their attention to me.
I couldn't help pointing to the tattoo on the red-haired arm and asked, "Dude, what are you getting tattooed on?"
"What? Getting a tattoo is also against the law?" Hong Mao looked at us vigilantly.
"It's hard to say that I'm breaking the law. Forgive my clumsiness. I'm just curious about what kind of tattoo you have?"
"Coffin." Hong Mao still looked vigilant, "Is there anything else? If not, I will take the first step."
"Go? Where else do you want to go? Go back to the criminal police with me to make a record." Zhang Hongwei interjected, with a contemptuous smile on his face.
"I didn't break the law, why do you arrest me!" A hint of anger suddenly appeared on Hong Mao's face.
Zhang Hongwei sneered: "I hope you can clarify things before you speak. We are just asking you to go back and investigate, not arresting you."
"What if I don't want to go?"
"If you are so uncooperative, we can only use some special means."
Huang Mao was helpless, and glared at Zhang Hongwei hatefully, "Just go, anyway, I haven't done anything illegal, so I'm afraid you won't succeed?"
I don't think it's very likely that Hong Mao is the murderer. His appearance is really eye-catching. If he does something illegal, there must be countless witnesses.
Zhang Hongwei and Li Shengnan were left to take notes, while I got off the bus halfway through. Li Meilin was still lying in the hospital, and I was really worried.
