Chapter 55: Playing a humanoid doll here?
Huang Yixuan's concert will begin soon.
The lights in the venue went out, and the place fell into darkness. A woman in a yellow dress slowly walked up from behind the stage.
The cascading skirt makes her look like a blooming flower.
Xie Zhiruo couldn't help but exclaimed: "Da Huang is so lucky to have such a beautiful and talented girlfriend!"
Lin Meiqi couldn't help but sigh: "Yes!"
Huang Yixuan stood in the center of the stage with a sweet smile. After exchanging a few words with the audience, the music started and she began to sing the most popular song "Send You a Little Luck".
This is her latest song, and since it is the most popular recently, it is placed at the first position.
As the music started, the whole place fell into silence, and the penetrating singing enveloped the entire place.
"Wow! It sounds so good, it's like a walking record collection!"
Lin Meiqi was also intoxicated by the music.
I have to say that Da Huang really made a great contribution to being able to sit in the front row, otherwise how could I have gotten such a ticket for the concert?
This place is very expensive.
Now sitting in the front row, the sound effect is like 360-degree surround.
Lin Meiqi silently stared at Huang Yixuan's face on the stage, whose beauty was so stunning that one could not take their eyes off her.
Feng Charlie looked at Lin Meiqi silently in the darkness.
Xie Zhiruo had already discovered this, because every time she would accidentally or intentionally discover that Feng Charlie was peeking at Lin Meiqi.
Although Lin Meiqi didn't know, it didn't escape Xie Zhiruo's eyes.
Xie Zhiruo chuckled twice, took Lin Meiqi's arm, leaned on her shoulder and asked, "Do you need the sergeant to take you home later? Otherwise it will be too late."
Lin Meiqi thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I can go back by myself."
Xie Zhiruo advised: "Let him send you off more often!"
The concert ended at 11:30. Because the audience requested an encore, Huang Yixuan sang two more songs.
When it was over, it was pitch black outside.
Xie Zhiruo ran to He Wanyi and said, "We're on the same way. Sergeant, you must take good care of Forensic Doctor Lin!"
Xie Zhiruo skipped and followed He Wanyi away.
Lin Meiqi couldn't help but sigh that Xiao Xie is now different from when he first came and was depressed and wanted to perform every day. He should be less obsessed with proving himself with some specific things.
And now she is able to integrate more and more into the serious crime team. Feng Charlie also gives her some opportunities to participate in group visits, and she gradually becomes cheerful.
Now, only Feng Charlie and Lin Meiqi were left standing at the entrance of the venue.
Da Huang of course had to wait until Huang Yixuan had removed her makeup before sending her back, so Lin Meiqi had no choice but to say, "Sarzhan, I have to trouble you again."
Charlie Feng opened the passenger door and let Lin Meiqi sit in, then he sat back in the driver's seat.
On the way, he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "The last case is over, but the person who placed the lilies at your door has not been found. During the interrogation today, I also asked Rong Yiliang, and he didn't know about the lilies being placed at your door. It seems that the incident has nothing to do with him and is a coincidence, but because of the previous experience, we have to be on guard."
Lin Meiqi has been staying in the five-star hotel opened for her by Feng Charlie these days to avoid danger.
Now that the case is over, she still has to return to Ningyuan No. 1. I wonder if there are lilies placed at the door in the next few days.
"Maybe it was just a prank by someone in Kowloon Walled City? There are some hooligans there who like to harass women. But he hit a wall when he harassed me. If I see him, I will definitely kick him so hard that he can never stand up again!"
Soon, the car stopped downstairs of Building No. 1 of Ningyuan.
Charlie Feng opened the car door, took Lin Meiqi out of the car, and sent her upstairs. When I arrived at the door, there was actually a bunch of lilies.
Feng Charlie held the bouquet in his hand, feeling uneasy: "I will send someone to keep an eye on this. We can't let this go on."
"Sergeant, if you keep an eye on him, he won't dare to come out. Don't worry, I can handle it by myself."
Lin Meiqi thought to herself that since she had the support of the system, nothing would really happen to her.
"If something happens, it will be too late. The people I send will try to be discreet and will not disturb your life. But this person must be arrested. Even if he has no other bad intentions, he will be charged with harassment."
Feng Charlie's words were irrefutable, so Lin Meiqi had no choice but to agree.
After returning to the room, Lin Meiqi lay back on the bed and fell asleep after a while.
There were no new cases for the next two weeks.
Lin Meiqi shuttled between her home and the serious crime squad in an orderly manner, going to the supermarket every two or three days to buy some daily necessities and snacks.
There is no clue about the blood ring either.
The pork shop in Jiulongzhai was dealt with and directly closed down because it did not meet hygiene standards. However, no traces of human blood were found in the butcher shop, and the ring had already been sold by the owner of the butcher shop and disappeared without a trace.
The above traces could not be detected, so the blood ring was not enough evidence to show that the murderer from more than ten years ago had reappeared and committed crimes again, so there was no restart, and the information was just summarized.
That day, Lin Meiqi and He Wanyi got off work on time and went to a nearby shopping mall. On the upper floor of the mall, there was a game city that had just opened for a few months.
The wide variety of game machines emit blue and purple light, and players can play by inserting coins, which attracts many people.
He Wanyi was also very interested and pulled Lin Meiqi over to play.
Who would have thought that the more I played this game, the more addictive it became, especially the shooting games.
He Wanyi's aim is incredible. Every time she hits the bull's eye, she can spit out a lot of redemption bars, which can be exchanged for various toys she wants.
So she became addicted and kept inserting coins into various machines.
Lin Meiqi also played with it for more than half an hour, and finally exchanged it for a big Hello Kitty toy. She held it in her arms, and it was almost half a person's height.
He Wanyi was holding a big furry lion and a small branded bag. The bag she exchanged was worth a lot of money, which made the boss jealous: "If you guys play like this, my place will lose money!"
He Wanyi shrugged: "So many people invested hundreds or thousands of coins, but they only got a palm-sized plush toy. You haven't made enough money from this dirty trick, how much more do you want?"
The boss was choked by her words and stopped talking.
After Lin Meiqi and He Wanyi finished, they went to the restaurant upstairs to eat with their toys. Suddenly, a waiter ran out in a panic.
Looking towards the corridor, there is a hollow decorative wall.
The security personnel in the mall also ran towards the location of the game city, holding electric batons in their hands.
Lin Meiqi was confused: "What happened? It doesn't look good."
Lin Meiqi and He Wanyi quickly got up, paid the bill, and rushed towards the game city.
When they arrived at the scene, they found a stabbed man lying in the middle of the game city.
The man was covered in blood, and the ground was stained red, especially the area of the carotid artery in his neck. Blood spurted out after being stabbed, and the blood stained the game console next to him and the ceiling.
Lin Meiqi only took one look and her face became serious: "This person looks like he was bled out. The location was very precise, and several major arteries were cut open."
He Wanyi was shocked.
The security personnel were still maintaining order. Ho Wan-yee stepped forward and showed her police ID: "Make way. We are from the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit. Please guard this position and don't let irrelevant people approach."
The security personnel nodded when they saw the police presence.
The owner of the game hall was so scared that he came forward with a pale face and said, "What on earth is going on? This is terrible! Why did this happen in my store? I just opened it not long ago. How can I continue my business?"
He Wanyi glanced at him and said, "Why are you still caring about business? Let me ask you, did you see how the murder happened just now?"
Boss: "No, I didn't see anything. I was exchanging gifts with someone over there."
A little boy about ten years old stood up, and his mother behind him also had a grim expression on her face: "It was the big bear doll that killed the person, stabbing him one by one, I saw it clearly!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around him started to get agitated.
"Yes, it happened so fast that we didn't react, but it was definitely a bear that was killing people."
"What?"
Lin Meiqi was shocked. She and He Wanyi looked at each other and immediately understood.
"The bear you're talking about, is it the humanoid doll in the arcade that's soliciting customers at the door?"
Lin Meiqi asked the boss: "Who did you find to play the bear here today? You should know, right?"
Boss: "He's a college student who works part-time here during the holidays."
"Do you know his name?" Lin Meiqi asked.
"Yes, her name is Ai Xiaorong."
"Has she shown any signs of abnormality before?"
Boss: "No, this kid is very easy to talk to and has a very good temper. A little boy pushed her down before, but she got up and didn't say a word to him. She never loses her temper when she encounters difficult customers and always plays the role of a bear obediently."
Lin Meiqi asked: "Do you think there is anything wrong with this humanoid bear today?"
The boss shook his head: "I, I didn't pay attention. She is at the door every day, and I can't always look in that direction."
“Do you have surveillance here?”
“The mall’s surveillance camera is at that location.” The shop owner pointed and there was indeed a surveillance camera at the entrance.
Lin Meiqi borrowed a public phone in the mall and called Feng Charlie.
"What? A vicious murder occurred?"
Feng Charlie immediately took his men out and arrived at the scene half an hour later. He quickly asked someone to retrieve the surveillance video.
While reviewing the surveillance footage, a girl with a ponytail suddenly walked over and was surprised to see so many people gathered around her.
When she arrived at the store, she saw the blood-stained body lying on the ground, being subjected to a preliminary examination by Lin Meiqi. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't help but scream.
The boss next to him saw the girl and jumped up in shock: "Ai Xiaorong, why are you here? Did you kill someone?"
Girl: "What? Kill, kill, you mean I killed this person?"
"If it's not you, then who is it? It's that bear!"
The girl shook her head: "I didn't dress up as a bear. Someone gave me 500 Hong Kong dollars on the road and said she would lend me my bear for two hours to give a surprise to her friend. She would return it to me after the surprise was over and asked me to come back later."
The boss slapped his thigh and said, "Oh my god, you ruined what you did. Otherwise, that person wouldn't have committed this murder!"
When Lin Meiqi heard this, she stood up.
"What are the characteristics of the person who gave you the money?"
"She was wearing a mask, a baseball cap, and all black clothes. Her hair was completely pressed into the cap. But she looked like a woman."
"Why?"
"Because the boys' hair was exposed in clumps, while the girls' hair was gathered up and tucked in. I could still see this, and I thought it was just a joke between lovers and didn't take it seriously at all. How could I have thought that this would happen?"
"For the specific situation, please find the sheriff over there and explain it to him clearly."
The female student nodded and walked towards the location Lin Meiqi pointed.
Feng Charlie is visiting surrounding businesses to learn about the characteristics of the bear's walking posture or movement habits.
The victim was accompanied by his wife, who had just been questioned. She was now crying inconsolably and her eyes were red and swollen.
Lin Meiqi squatted down and continued to investigate the scene.
The three major arteries in the victim's body - the carotid artery, radial artery, and femoral artery - were cut open, and a large amount of blood gushed out.
In addition to the aorta, some remaining superficial arteries, such as the subclavian artery, were also dissected open with great accuracy and ruthlessness.
If it's not a doctor, there is only one possibility - a forensic doctor.
Lin Meiqi's heart was pounding, and she felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness.
After recording the information obtained, the police officers put the body into a body bag and carried it away on a stretcher.
After asking about the situation, Charlie Feng turned around and saw Lin Meiqi standing there thinking, and asked her: "How is it? Does it look like she killed someone to vent her anger?"
Lin Meiqi shook her head. "No, more than one eyewitness said that the bear wanted to attack a woman instead of the man. But the woman dodged and was only injured on the surface of her arm. Then the target became the current victim. He didn't react and was stabbed in the carotid artery. He couldn't move at all and died instantly."
"That is to say, the murderer's target was likely to change randomly, and he was not obsessed with the previous woman."
"That's right, so I'm more worried about indiscriminate harm."
After these words were spoken, the expressions of several police officers became serious. Random killings like this in public places, I'm afraid this crime will never stop.
