Chapter 17 The truth is...
After getting off the car, perhaps that person was observing him in the dark, so all of Feng Charlie's actions seemed natural. He wanted to pretend to be nervous and anxious about entering the haunted house to explore, but he seemed a little guilty because there was still a cordon at the scene.
Feng Charlie is such a good actor, Lin Meiqi, who was lying in ambush not far away, couldn't help but sigh.
The time was up, Feng Charlie looked at his watch and began to walk into the building across the cordon.
Standing on the first floor, he could hear the beating of his own heart in the silence.
In such an environment, Feng Charlie's ears became extremely sharp and he could notice even the slightest noise in the building.
Quiet, quiet...
Soon, at the agreed time, he heard the sound of footsteps in the building.
When did the other party arrive?
It should be earlier than him, because he didn't hear any sound of anyone crawling in the ventilation duct.
The man walked towards him step by step. Feng Charlie asked, "Who is it? Is it you? Are you the poster?"
The other party: "Of course, don't you know me?"
A flashlight shone on the face of the person opposite, and the man laughed grimly.
"You... who are you? Should I know you?"
"You haven't remembered yet? I heard that you lost your memory after going abroad?"
Feng Charlie recalled quickly in his mind. He thought that the previous big boss of this Zi Guang Building had moved abroad with his whole family. Could it be related to what happened ten years ago?
"You still love excitement as always!"
Feng Charlie stepped back silently, pretending to be scared and looking a little terrified.
"You got the wrong person, didn't you? You can tell who I am just based on the replies in a forum?"
"You've grown up, you've changed, maybe even had plastic surgery. So many years have passed, I probably won't recognize you, but I'd rather kill you by mistake than to avenge my son!"
The man was tall and looked like he had been waiting for an opportunity over the years to become a martial artist. His arms were exposed and full of muscles and veins.
He grabbed Feng Charlie's collar with one hand, with great strength, like an iron clamp. If it were a thinner man, he would be defeated in a few moves.
Feng Charlie quickly broke free, raised his hand to block, and kicked the big man away.
The man held a knife in his hand and wiped his lip with his thumb: "Wow, I didn't expect you to be quite powerful. However, once you enter this building today, don't even think about leaving!"
The man quickly put on a mask, poured out the liquid from a bottle in his hand, and gripped the knife handle with one hand.
A breath of air came over with a whoosh.
Feng Charlie also seemed to have smelled it somewhere before.
Soon, he began to have hallucinations and gradually lost the advantage in the confrontation because he saw the man in front of him getting taller and taller, his height seemed to pierce through the building, his limbs began to deform and lengthen, and his entire arm was about five or six meters wide.
Hallucinations clouded his vision.
…
Liang Yifeng and his group were waiting outside with their men. Seeing that Feng Charlie had been in there for such a long time and had not come out, they couldn't help but get worried.
However, Feng Charlie said in advance that if there was an emergency, he would send a signal and the people outside would rush in.
The reason why all the snipers jumped outside the building this time was because they speculated that this person was most likely the murderer. They were afraid that the murderer would scout the area in advance. If any traces of the police were found in the building, then today's combat plan would fail.
What's more, Feng Charlie is very confident in his fists and feet, and usually he will not be at a disadvantage. After all, he is the best in all aspects of force among all police officers.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly had a hallucination in the middle of the process, which caught him off guard.
Lin Meiqi has been thinking silently.
There was one thing she hadn't figured out.
"I hope nothing happened to Sergeant?" Da Huang couldn't help but ask.
Lin Meiqi was a little panicked, because she suddenly thought of the smell on the young man who ran out of the building that day. Perhaps what he said about "seeing a ghost" was related to that smell.
If that were the case, Charlie Von would be in danger.
She immediately told Liang Yifeng: "Sergeant Zhan is in danger of his life! Don't forget that smell, there are hallucinations! It will be terrible if Sergeant Zhan has hallucinations!"
"What?!"
"You led your men into the building quickly. If the killer hadn't come, he wouldn't have come again at this time. But he didn't take any action after meeting him. This is not like his quick style."
Sure enough, when he reached the second floor, Liang Yifeng saw two blurry figures fighting each other from afar. At this moment, Feng Charlie's vision became more and more blurred, and he saw that the murderer was about to stab the knife into his body.
A gunshot rang out.
A bullet fired by Liang Yifeng flew out and hit the murderer's knife-wielding arm.
"Ah!" Feng Charlie heard the noise. He couldn't see clearly, but he identified the direction through the scream. He kicked towards the direction of the sound and kicked the man, sending him flying far away.
The man was grimacing in pain and unable to move. The police rushed over and arrested him.
…
Charlie Feng was taken back to the forensic room, and Lin Meiqi extracted a rare hallucinogenic powder AX980 from his mouth and nose.
No wonder this taste was once ignored, because after grinding this hallucinogenic powder, it smells similar to normal mushrooms, making people feel like they just walked out of a restaurant, thus ignoring this ingredient.
Especially, the murderer does not lie every time. This time, it is because Feng Charlie is skilled in martial arts and he cannot hit the target with one strike, so he has to make him hallucinate.
This had not happened to the previous two victims.
"Why did the person who went on an adventure last time also have this smell on him?" He Wanyi was curious.
Charlie Feng sat there and had his blood drawn to make sure that the toxin had been slowly diluted.
Although he felt a little dizzy, it did not affect his subsequent recovery. He said with all his strength, "It should be that the person did not meet the criteria he was looking for."
"How did you know that?"
"Age. He was looking for a man from ten years ago. The young man was too young. He was only eight or nine years old ten years ago. He couldn't be the man he was looking for, so he simply sprinkled the hallucinogenic powder on him to make him neurotic. The police wouldn't believe him and let him go."
After Feng Charlie and the others recovered, they went in for interrogation with Liang Yifeng, while the others listened to the interrogation scene through the monitor outside.
Lin Meiqi looked at the big man's face, and the more she looked, the more familiar it seemed, and suddenly she had an impression of him.
She hurried to find the technical investigators.
"Can you help me find out the names of all the people registered with this circus?"
"What's the name? The acrobat's?"
“Everyone, including logistics.”
"Does the logistics department know how to shrink bones and fly high?"
"Maybe he retired and worked in logistics."
Ten years ago, then ten years ago he might have been an acrobat.
That face was exactly the same as the face of the logistics staff who was handling props that she had seen in the circus. Even though he was wearing work clothes at the time, Lin Meiqi recognized him. It was him.
The technicians quickly retrieved the information and finally found the registration information of the acrobatic troupe.
Among them was the name and photo of a logistics staff member who looked exactly like the person being interrogated. His name was Mo Tianjun.
"That's him!"
Lin Meiqi hurriedly took this name and went to the archives with He Wanyi to look for a case related to this name ten years ago.
“No.” Lin Meiqi suddenly shook her head. “Maybe it wasn’t a homicide, but someone called the police because if there was evidence, he should have been arrested at the time.”
He Wanyi asked, "But if we report a case, it's not a homicide, so it's likely not in the serious crime unit. We still need the cooperation of the police station here."
"It doesn't matter. Even if we don't know what happened, we can still figure it out."
"Fraud? How?" He Wanyi was curious.
"The technicians have found out that he has a son. This could be a breakthrough. His son was declared dead, perhaps not because of illness."
During the interrogation, Liang Yifeng came out to take a breath. As soon as he came out, he saw Lin Meiqi walking towards him and saying something in his ear.
Liang Yifeng's pupils trembled: "I understand."
He entered the interrogation room with new information.
It is already early in the morning. It is already late enough, and the interrogation is like starving a hawk. It not only tests the patience of the murderer, but also the patience of the police officers.
Some people couldn't bear it anymore and slept outside the interrogation room with their arms folded.
Two hours later, Lin Meiqi couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.
Everyone was on tenterhooks that day, and finally the murderer was caught. Everyone was excited and thrilled. Now they were feeling sleepy and slept soundly. Some people even snored.
At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was slightly bright.
That night, the interrogation finally came to an end.
The members of the serious crime team woke up one after another, and everyone spent the night here.
However, there are many times like this. Sometimes I often have to stay up late and sleep in the office. Fortunately, there are sofas in the office where I can sleep, or I can curl up in a chair. If that doesn't work, I can sleep on the floor.
Lin Meiqi is better off, with a retractable bed.
The door of the interrogation room opened, and Charlie Feng walked out. He placed a thick stack of transcripts on the table and rubbed his brows.
"How's it going, Sergeant? Is everything going well?"
"It was relatively smooth. After all, the witnesses and evidence were all there, and he couldn't deny it. However, he wanted to conceal what happened ten years ago at first."
"What happened at that time? We checked it out at the time, but there was no relevant information at all!"
"Mo Tianjun is indeed looking for someone from ten years ago. The reason why it took so long is that the other person went abroad and came back ten years later. Calculating his age, he must be at least in his twenties or thirties. It is said that he had plastic surgery abroad before returning."
He Wanyi asked: "Is it related to his son's death ritual?"
"Yes, Mo Tianjun was a member of the circus. His son died, and he fell down during the performance. Fortunately, there was a cushion underneath, but he still suffered sequelae and couldn't move normally for several years. Finally, he recovered with perseverance and kept practicing. Now he is as strong as a bull! But he can only work as a logistics staff in the circus."
"Wow, if you are so determined, what can't you do? Why do you have to kill people?"
Seeing that Charlie Feng had been up all night and his eyes were red, Lin Meiqi made him a cup of coffee and placed it in front of him.
"Thanks to Forensic Doctor Lin for reminding me. Ten years ago, his son, who was in college, was taken to explore the Ziguang Commercial Building by several wealthy classmates. At that time, the place was not a haunted building, but it looked quite scary at night when the lights were turned off."
"But it was called an expedition, but in reality it was a gang fight. They disliked his son and beat him up at night when no one was around. The child was covered in blood and his internal organs were ruptured. He dragged his lame leg step by step towards home, and in the end he did not die in the mall, but died in the alley outside his home."
"Because they knew someone had been beaten to death, the boy's father was worried that his son would be held responsible, so he moved his entire family out and sold the mall at a low price. However, this move led to rumors that the building was haunted, and after that, no one approached the building again."
"That means the ones who beat him up are all rich playboys! They forced his child to death!"
"yes!"
"His child is also pitiful."
"Then how did the murderer force that person out in this way?"
"You can't force him. It is said that the boy changed his name and came back ten years later. However, he lost his memory and couldn't remember anything from the past, so he had no fear of haunted buildings. But deep down, he loves adventure and excitement. He likes extreme sports abroad, and especially likes to go to spooky places. He has been to all the famous remodeled haunted roads in Japan."
"Mo Tianjun's indiscriminate killings are probably because he wants to find the real murderer!"
"So he will just keep killing like this? He even hates those rich people who love excitement. For him, this is also a way to vent his anger against this kind of people."
"yes!"
"But is there anyone he's looking for among the two victims?"
"We have just sent people to check the overseas experiences of the two victims, and they did not match what the murderer said. However, we found out from the first victim, Guo Zhihao, that among his brothers, the leader who led the group to beat his child to death ten years ago was the illegitimate son that Guo promoted to the public. In fact, he was not an illegitimate child, and all his identities were fake. He just used the names to do business."
"So the murderer was looking for the wrong person?"
"Yes, those two heirs who were supposed to inherit the family business really suffered an unexpected disaster!"
"I think the murderer is crazy."
"He has been enduring for so many years, and his mind is already not normal. He just wants to vent his anger. Why did he go to the haunted house? Because the haunted house is where his son was beaten. He thinks that only there can he vent his anger for his son!"
"well……"
Everyone in the serious crime team couldn't help but sigh. They didn't expect things to go in this direction.
Charlie Feng had a long day off that day.
"Everyone go back and rest. There are no new cases right now. If you just sit here and wait, your body won't be able to hold on."
"Okay, Sir Feng, you should go home as well. You are the most tired one!"
"OK."
Lin Meiqi also rode her bicycle back home. Fortunately, she had the retractable bed, so she didn't feel tired when she slept.
However, how can we miss the time to catch up on sleep?
She washed her face, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
In my dream, I was still traveling in the world before I traveled through time. I went to Portugal and Spain. I was so immersed in the experience that I really thought I had returned to the original world.
I slept for five full hours, and all my tiredness was gone.
“Boom boom boom!”
Suddenly I heard someone knocking on the door.
Is it a dream? No, it seems to be reality!
Lin Meiqi sat up subconsciously, rubbed her eyes and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me."
A strange man's voice came. She didn't remember such a voice among her neighbors. Besides, except for a few ladies next door, most men would not call her. And the landlord was not a man!
Lin Meiqi got up with difficulty, put on her coat in a daze, and walked to the door.
With a creaky sound, the door was opened by her.
"What do you want from me?"
Lin Meiqi leaned over to take a look. Something strange happened. There was no one in the corridor. It was completely empty.
