Chapter 15: Pretty girl, don’t be afraid, just follow your brother.
At night, at the agreed time of ten o'clock, it was completely dark.
Several gold shops had switched to the night shift and were now open for business, with bright lights emanating from the shops.
At this moment, a small figure broke through the police line, ran quickly towards the building, entered the door, and stood in the empty corridor waiting for the person he had an appointment with.
The adventure partner I had agreed to meet, he wouldn't really not come, right?
Lin Meiqi looked at her watch. There were still five minutes left.
However, two hours ago, the serious crime squad was already in place. As long as she was in this building, there would be snipers waiting for the suspect to appear.
As time passed, Lin Meiqi became more and more anxious.
Now that we have a clue that leads to the suspect, we must not let it go.
But Lin Meiqi thought about it and realized that if he was really the murderer, he would not enter through the main door, but would crawl in through the passage.
In other words, he would come down from the third floor and walk over from the other end of the passage. He might even make up an excuse for himself, saying that he had been hiding from him here for a long time, and was just wandering around inside, and only came down to the third floor at a certain time to wait for him.
Thinking of this, Lin Meiqi began to lean against the wall, looking around. With her back against the wall, she could try her best to avoid being attacked from behind.
From which direction did the exploring partner come in?
This means that their guess was correct and they found the forum poster. Is he the one they were looking for?
Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed... twenty minutes.
If people still don't come, it only proves that they are just talking nonsense online and have no intention of exploring at all. Then, today's police dispatch will be in vain.
Feng Charlie, who was setting up the scene behind the scenes, was also getting a little anxious. The longer the time went on, the more complicated the situation would become.
If we retreat now, what if that person suddenly comes and sees the police's actions and doesn't dare to come forward, and instead disappears into the crowd?
But if you don't withdraw, how long will you have to wait? Could there be some new variables about that person that they cannot predict in advance?
Half an hour later, Lin Meiqi took a few steps forward and stood at the door of the building.
On the opposite side, the dim street light shone faintly on him, and his ponytail fluttered in the wind.
In less than ten minutes, someone finally entered the building through the main door. It was different from what Lin Meiqi had imagined, and this person seemed to have been observing outside for a long time.
The man looked Lin Meiqi up and down. Presumably because he had seen Lin Meiqi's feminine figure at the door just now, he had no intention of entering.
It can be seen that Lin Meiqi is a pretty girl, so she came in.
Lin Meiqi had a bad feeling, but she just smiled and said, "Who says girls are not brave enough? I have loved playing exciting things since I was a child."
"What exciting things do you want to play? Tell me so that brother can hear it."
"Like using an axe to chop down people who tease me."
Lin Meiqi said this with gritted teeth, but she looked so cute, how could she be threatening at all?
And the more she said this, the more excited the man opposite her became.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be so awesome."
"Of course, then you just follow your brother."
He showed the mahogany axe in his hand and said, "Brother will give you one."
He grabbed Lin Meiqi's hand and rubbed it hard twice, then placed the peach wood talisman in her palm. "Let's go. If we want to explore, we must go deeper into this building."
He let out two malicious laughs.
"I'm scared."
Lin Meiqi subconsciously hid behind him. Her action was quite natural, as it avoided exposing her back to the other person.
Although she felt that this man was different from the suspect she had imagined and seemed a little weird, she still had to be on guard.
Lin Meiqi always kept her posture behind him, while the man strode forward.
At night, the building became even darker. The man took a flashlight out of his bag and could barely see what he was stepping on. There was a clanging sound, and he didn't know where it came from.
He seemed to be looking for something, and after looking for a long time, he felt that this place was not suitable.
"Let's go forward."
Lin Meiqi's strong premonition became more obvious, and every cell in her body was tense.
The two of them went up the stairs to the third floor. Lin Meiqi was frightened and said, "No, we don't want to stay here, okay? Someone died here before, on this floor."
"What are you afraid of? Haven't the bodies been taken away? If you are so scared, why do you still come to explore? Do you need your brother to protect you, pretty girl?"
Lin Meiqi slowly retreated. She knew that there was a sniper rifle behind her and that members of the serious crime squad were protecting her.
"Let's leave quickly and stop exploring, okay? This is scarier than I thought. It's pitch black and there are shadows everywhere."
"Don't be afraid. Didn't I tell you? Brother is here."
The man shone the flashlight around him. There were no surveillance cameras in the building. He knew that this building had been abandoned for many years. The place where we are now is free of clutter and is just an open area, which is just right.
"hey-hey."
As the man spoke, he suddenly reached out his hand towards Lin Meiqi with a grim smile on his face. He didn't have a knife in his hand, nor did he look like he was going to attack from behind.
Lin Meiqi guessed what he was going to do, and when he pulled her collar and tried to tear her clothes off, she twisted the man's arm with her backhand.
The man screamed "Ahhhhhh", but he couldn't withstand the other party's great strength and quickly broke free.
He rushed forward quickly and tried to knock Lin Meiqi to the ground.
At this moment, the red star of the sniper rifle above the man's head indicated that it was time to shoot!
Lin Meiqi shouted, "Don't shoot, he's not the murderer, I can handle it myself."
She raised her foot and kicked hard, hitting the man right in the vitals with a bang.
Lin Meiqi kicked out with all her might and knocked the opponent to the ground. She covered her crotch and rolled on the ground in pain. ,
The police officers from the serious crime squad who were lying in ambush on the third floor rushed forward, and Charlie Feng arrived shortly afterwards and asked Lin Meiqi, "Are you okay?"
Lin Meiqi straightened her clothes and said, "Don't worry, this is a gangster, he can't do anything to me."
“It’s too dangerous.”
Liang Yifeng ran up from the second floor. He had just been lying in ambush on the second floor and was extremely nervous.
"Anyway, it still makes us nervous."
"He's not the one we're looking for."
Feng Charlie also thought of this situation. In fact, from the moment the man chose to enter through the main door, all the members of the serious crime team on hand knew that this man should not be a criminal suspect.
Because his figure was clearly captured in the surveillance camera, which was completely different from the previous two cases.
"Take the person away."
Feng Charlie waved his hand, took the man into the car and handed him over to the police station.
This case is not under the jurisdiction of the serious crime squad. After all, he is not a murder suspect, but he still has criminal intent. There are all kinds of people on the Internet, and getting rid of a criminal scum who touches women is also a great achievement.
It is estimated that he originally did not intend to go in, but just waited outside to see if there was a woman who was dating him. If it was a woman, he would take the opportunity to go to the place where there was no surveillance and commit the crime.
"This guy looks so wretched, yet he dares to go to a murder scene. I think his brain is occupied by the thing in his crotch, right?"
However, the case got into trouble again.
"Is the idea we proposed before correct? How did we find another person?"
Feng Charlie thought for a moment and said, "The direction is correct, but we have to be more vigilant this time. Since that person is so meticulous in his work, he erased all traces and avoided leaving fingerprints. I think he is a very meticulous person. How would such a meticulous person post?"
He suddenly realized, "Implement 24-hour network monitoring to see if any posts suddenly pop up, especially at night!"
Lin Meiqi also understood: "Yes, the murderer would not be so blatant to post the post online 24 hours a day. Isn't this just waiting to be discovered? Is it possible that he only appeared within a few hours of the crime, and as soon as he made an appointment with someone, he would immediately cancel the account. If no one was invited, he would still cancel the post, so that no one would know."
Da Huang pinched his chin with his fingers.
"But I still don't quite understand why these rich people would go to a haunted building. Do they have nothing better to do?"
"It's not that I'm idle, I'm just looking for excitement."
He Wanyi slapped the collected information on the table. "You see, the two victims actually have a lot in common. They dared to accept the invitation to the haunted house, so they must have been very brave. Their company's business has been quite busy recently, involving disputes over family property or some business problems in their own company. They are under a lot of pressure and want to find a place to relieve this pressure."
"And you can see how they relieved stress before."
Everyone gathered around and came forward.
"They do have various ways to seek adventure and excitement, such as skydiving and bungee jumping, which are the basics. They also take a month-long challenge to cross the Sahara Desert and take photos on the top of dangerous buildings... So it doesn't seem surprising that they go to explore a haunted building."
"To make people curious, the atmosphere of the haunted building is constantly created. Interviews with various people mentioning the appearance of ghosts will arouse people's curiosity. Some people do not believe that exploring the mystery is also a process of uncovering the truth, while others are looking for excitement. In short, this behavior is exactly what the murderer wants. Perhaps the murderer is also behind the current public opinion, for example, spreading some rumors about the haunted building on the Internet, or letting reporters pay attention to the occurrence of the haunted building murder case."
