Wearing super oversized leather shoes, he walked on this old and narrow stairwell, taking at least five steps with each step. Based on the comprehensive clues collected and inferred so far, he finally stopped in front of a guest room.
Faced with the old-fashioned door lock in front of him, the detective directly inserted his little finger.
Card~When the door is opened,
Both detectives had their arms inserted into their windbreaker linings, as if they were about to draw their guns.
But the scene before their eyes was quite different from what they had expected.
Two middle-aged men in their forties were lying on the bed, taking off their clothes, using bedding to cover their bodies as much as possible, with a small card placed at the head of the bed.
Before the two detectives could speak, the woman said, "We didn't exchange any money, we were just normal friends talking."
The man put on his pants as quickly as possible, trying his best to hide his embarrassment.
The two detectives quickly scanned the scene inside the house, their faces filled with confusion.
"Is there one floor missing? That shouldn't be the case?"
The detective ignored the two people in front of him who might be engaging in an illegal transaction, turned around and continued to walk up the stairs to the next floor.
But when they opened the door of the guest room, they saw the same scene in front of them. The fallen woman who was putting on her underwear was frightened and screamed when the detective came again.
"Ah! Officer, if you have anything to say, just tell me..."
At this time, the two detectives had already realized something was wrong.
Instead of walking up the stairs, he stepped into the guest room where the fallen woman was staying, climbed out of the window directly, and reached the next floor by rock climbing.
The circulation of the staircase is broken because it is no longer a liminal space.
When they climbed into the guest room where their target was staying, the room was empty.
The instant noodle box placed on the bedside was still steaming, indicating that he had just left. Octopus slime similar to that in the truck compartment could also be found on the pillow.
The window was open, rain was pouring in, and tiny footprints were left on the window sill.
It seems that during the time when the two detectives were checking the room downstairs, the suspicious tenant living here had already left.
The two detectives did not jump out of the window and chase after him.
They knew very well that if the other party had someone who could change the space, even if they chased him now, they would get lost in the complex alleys of the urban village. It would be better for them to stay here and collect clues.
Under the light,
The detectives' "faces" were finally revealed. They had no facial skin, but instead a linen structure.
The entire piece of linen was used as skin to cover their heads, and their hair grew out through the gaps at the top of the linen, which is why their faces could not be seen clearly at night.
On the front of the linen, at the position corresponding to the "face", dark red blood appeared.
Although the blood was floating, it remained stable in the shape of a Chinese character.
The detective who is in charge of clue investigation and scent tracking has the word "cha" on his face.
The detective who followed the whole process and said little reflected the word "urgent".
The face examiner walks through each area carefully, scrapes his fingers across all suspicious areas, and smears all kinds of dust on his face. The blood will wrap around the dust and perform relevant analysis.
Finally, the two detectives sat on the edge of the bed.
"It's more troublesome than I thought. It seems that this fugitive is not simple. Even if we ask the police to block the main roads around the county town, we can't stop such a fugitive. He can slip away by slightly changing the space.
This case seems to be difficult to solve, let's go back first."
Anxious Face, who had hardly spoken during the whole process, gave his opinion at this time: "Do you still remember the case that was classified as a 'Level II' vicious case three years ago? One of the incidents seemed to have occurred in this village in the city. I just suddenly thought of it."
Chazilian tilted his head, "Hmm? Now that you mention it, I still have some impression... At that time, an average of one body was found here every day, and then an officer would personally deal with it.
The investigation lasted for a month and a large number of police forces were continuously mobilized.
Although it was said that the suspect was caught in the end, everyone secretly knew that the suspect was just a scapegoat found by the superior to protect his reputation. "
The anxious face continued, "I just smelled something unusual when I was walking down the stairwell. It seems that the owner of this hotel has some shameful secrets. Do you want to check it out?"
"That's fine... Anyway, we have nothing to do when we get back, so let's investigate! But the higher-ups will definitely not want to overturn the case, so if they do find out something, we'll have to digest it on our own."
"It doesn't matter. I didn't become a police officer for promotion or salary increase."
As the two detectives walked down the corridor, the boss, who was hunched over and wearing only a torn vest, walked over in flip-flops. "What a pity that you failed to catch the person
At first I thought they were a family of three from foreign countries who were traveling to our Yuyuan County. Although I was a little suspicious, I didn't take it seriously.
I should have been smarter and informed you earlier."
The detective with a suspicious face put his hand on the boss's shoulder and said, "It's okay, you have been very cooperative. It was our own lack of ability that caused the other party to withdraw early.
By the way, can I stay at your house for a while? I want to ask you about the details of the foreign elderly so that we can fill in the report. "
"Okay, there's paper and pen at the counter, let's go there and talk in detail."
"No... After all, the counter is a public area. Our conversation might be leaked. It's better to talk at your home."
"Officer, how about we talk in this guest room? My wife and children are already asleep, and it might disturb them if we go in and talk."
At this time, the hand on the boss's shoulder suddenly exerted force, "Don't you understand what I mean? In addition to investigating the foreign boss, we also want to check your situation.
My partner said that he felt a little uncomfortable when he stepped into your old building, so please cooperate with me. "
"No problem. Please follow me. Do you need to call my wife and children to interrogate them together?"
"No, I just need to ask you some questions for now."
Going deeper along the corridor on the right side of the counter, you will find the hotel owner's residence at the deepest part, with a curtain made of black bodhi seeds hanging at the door.
A large number of red candles of different lengths and sizes are scattered in every corner of the room.
A shrine carved from ebony is placed on the most conspicuous part of the middle wall. Various twisted and bizarre images are painted on the hollow wooden board, and couplets are engraved on both sides of the statue.
≮Send a child to the world, pass on the inheritance of Xiang Dingxin≯
≮Guanyin bestows Jade Dew, granting people happiness, longevity and freedom from disaster≯
This couplet refers to the "Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth", but the statue placed in the middle is quite strange.
The main body of the statue is indeed a round and broad 'Guanyin', but she is not wearing any clothes, and she seems to be holding a baby in her arms and feeding it.
A careful observation will reveal that the baby is not held in the arms but stuck to the arms. To be precise, the baby is not even an independent individual but more like a proliferation of tissue of 'Guanyin'.
"A blessed statue? Has your family ever made any outstanding contributions, or won any awards in major national competitions?"
"Yes, my wife broke the Guinness record for the longest pregnancy. The certificate is in the room. Please wait a moment, sirs. I will get it for you right away."
"Um."
As the boss left, the two detectives gathered around the shrine to observe and discuss carefully, and even felt that the status of the statue was comparable to the statues worshipped by the police station.
What they didn't notice was that there was a pregnant woman standing at the entrance. Her belly was terribly large, with countless purple veins protruding from the surface.
If you look closely, you will see the outline of a child's face, peering through his mother's belly at the stranger who has broken into his home, or perhaps he has seen some other kind of "raw meat" and is urging his mother to feed him quickly.
Xiao Ah Fei is still in the hospital, I am typing beside him, so it is a little late, sorry
