Chapter 226: The New Crow Mouth Reappears
The next day, Deng Xingwang finally knew the reason why their quarterly team had returned.
"I thought only Peng City had fewer cases recently, but it turns out Hong Kong has the same problem."
There is no need to work overtime on the case, and the two places are so close that even if he rushes back to work the next day, he can still make it in time. It just takes two or three hours to drive back and forth. Captain Ji is really infatuated.
For the next week, Ji Mingcheng made this round trip, and Deng Xingwang also ate several meals with him and enjoyed them very much.
"It's a wonderful day. I hope there will be no cases."
Qiu Jiang and Ji Mingcheng, who were eating pasta, paused for a moment and looked at him in unison.
Deng Xingwang didn't react at first, but when he figured out the reason for their reaction, his fork dropped onto the table with a clatter.
Just that click sound was like the sound of unlocking Pandora's box, which made people feel scared.
His previous experience of saying such words of expectation told him that as soon as he said such words, things would slide towards the other extreme at an unbridled speed.
Deng Xingwang felt his scalp tingle, and he quickly slammed the table three times, "It doesn't count, it doesn't count."
The key point is that he said it doesn’t count, so does it not count?
Qiu Jiang had a bad feeling. "Ah Cheng, it looks like we need to be prepared for what's next."
Ji Mingcheng wiped the corner of his lips gracefully and said lightly, "Looks like I have to go back early today."
In fact, today is Saturday, and he could have waited until tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow to go back, but it was obvious that he was aware of Deng Xingwang's "curse".
Deng Xingwang smiled apologetically, "I don't think it will be so bad this time..."
Qiu Jiang and Ji Mingcheng both looked at him with smiles, which made him feel uneasy.
He hurriedly prayed that the nightmare would not come true.
However, he still underestimated the power of his "curse". Just after finishing his meal, his pager and Qiu Jiang's cell phone rang almost at the same time.
"No way—"
He was panicked, while Qiu Jiang looked at him with an expression of "as expected".
Ji Mingcheng patted her shoulder and said, "Let's go."
"and you……?"
"I'm packing up and getting ready to leave."
"Okay, I won't send you off this time."
After she finished speaking, she quickly ran downstairs. Deng Xingwang ran behind her, holding his head and muttering, "How is this possible? How is this possible?"
Anyway, I'm doubting my whole life.
"I'm really starting to question my life." After the two of them returned to the bureau, although the people on duty in the team were already prepared, they still looked devastated.
Who would have thought that after more than a month of silence, a major case would suddenly occur.
A madman stabbed three people to death and his whereabouts are still unknown. He is simply a huge dangerous bomb that can explode at any time.
"No, what can we do with just a few of us?" Some people were confused.
Qiu Jiang could explain this to them. "It's not just us. This time, the director is directly coordinating the operation. All available forces will be mobilized. Our mission is to patrol with other colleagues and strive to find the criminal as soon as possible. We can deal with other matters later. First, drive out all the cars that can be driven and search the area we are responsible for carefully. Let's go."
After she finished speaking, she walked quickly forward. Sure enough, the others stopped talking and hurried to follow.
Their Peng City has a good economy, so the Municipal Bureau is equipped with a lot of vehicles. Their third team alone is equipped with four special vehicles, two motorcycles, and two cars. The bureau also has public vehicles.
Normally they wouldn't all be used up, but that might not be the case at this point. Fortunately, there were only seven of them in total.
Two people left on motorcycles, and the other five drove the remaining two cars, sirens blaring.
On the way, Qiu Jiang supplemented the information he had obtained during the meeting at the bureau.
"This afternoon, residents of a residential complex heard screams coming from the middle of a back alley. Someone looked out and saw a man wearing a black hooded raincoat, holding a knife covered in blood. Two men lay on the ground at his feet, clutching their stomachs. Another man, stabbed in the leg and unable to stand, was cowering and running away. The man stabbed all three men like a madman, causing them to bleed to death on the spot."
"Later, it was the residents who called the police. This is a major public security issue, and the leadership is taking it very seriously. They asked us to catch this person as quickly as possible. We'll work hard this time, and I'll give you some time off once we're done."
"yes--"
Various voices came from the intercom one after another.
After cutting off communication, she drove straight to the crime scene.
The only person accompanying him was one of the two new hires.
He had only been on the job for over a month, and he had just been on duty when he encountered such a major case. He sat upright in the passenger seat, and he was visibly nervous.
Qiu Jiang understood the feelings of the new employees and did not forget to make jokes.
"I was also very nervous when I first started working. For example, on my first mission, a gangster wanted to hit me with a stick. I was so scared that I ran away. It was just a pity for my leader at the time. He got hit by the stick. So you can see how fast I run. If there is really danger, I promise to pull you away and run away. I will never let you get hurt."
Liang Yang opened her eyes wide, she never thought that she could be so green.
And it also implicated his own leader.
Even if it wasn't him, he felt socially doomed just thinking about it.
If it were him, I probably wouldn't want to go to work.
Awkward.
This way, going out on a mission to search for criminals doesn't seem so scary anymore.
She successfully calmed my fear. Who can say that this is not a great way to comfort me?
His body was finally not as tense as before, but he couldn't help feeling a little conflicted when he looked at her.
Because although he has not been in the team for long and there have not been many cases in the team recently, he has not seen her solving cases. But don't forget that she is a rising star in the mainland police force who has been reported in Hong Kong newspapers one after another, not to mention the mainland newspapers, which have given her overwhelming publicity.
He had read many of the cases she had solved and had long been curious about her. After joining the team and coming into contact with so many files, and knowing that all those cases were solved by her, he had long regarded her as a real leader.
However, the hesitation in his glances at her from time to time betrayed his thoughts.
"Do you want to ask what happened after that?"
Liang Yang scratched his head embarrassedly.
Qiu Jiang smiled faintly. "Of course the criminal was subdued. My leader is super powerful. He threw the murderer over his shoulder in a few seconds. The man was very fierce. After being knocked down by my leader, he still wanted to beat me up. In the end, my leader beat him up miserably."
Thinking about how so much time has passed since she and Ji Mingcheng first met, time flies.
She sighed in her heart that time flies and was happy to be with the person she loves after going through so many things.
But he didn't know that the people around him were greatly relieved.
After all, he felt that his fighting ability was still acceptable. Although he didn't look very strong, his physical training in the police academy was also above average.
He will definitely protect her when danger comes, and there will never be a situation where the leader takes a beating for her.
Yes, that's right.
He secretly encouraged himself.
The crime scene is located in a narrow alley between two old residential areas. Although the alley is narrow enough, it is the fastest shortcut from the two residential areas to the vegetable market, and on the other side is a bustling neighborhood. If you go there from other places, it will often take more than twice as long as this road, so there are many people coming and going in this alley.
However, the incident happened at noon, and many people were taking a lunch break. There were not many people in the alley, so no one saw how the incident started. Only people in the buildings near the alley in the communities on both sides who were woken up by the noise saw the second half of the incident.
Liang Yang thought they came here to record statements. This happened to be the most common job he had done in the past month, so he consciously took out his little notebook to look for witnesses.
She stayed at the crime scene and saw four dark shadows at the time of the crime, watching a brutal, bloody, one-sided massacre from beginning to end.
The shape of the raincoat on one of the black shadows was particularly easy to identify, and he was undoubtedly the person they were looking for. The other three were the ones who died on the spot.
After reading it through, she actually found a few clues.
The first is that he definitely knew the three dead people. The three of them were pulling each other into the alley, and they were staggering, obviously drunk.
The second is that the murderer followed them in. It was quite hot today, but he was wearing a raincoat that looked very thick. It was too strange.
Are you afraid of being seen? Or do you know those three people?
It seems to be... the latter.
The first two people died too quickly, and the murderer had his back to them, but the last one was facing him. When he was begging for mercy, he seemed to see the murderer's face. At that time, his body obviously shrank, and then he was stabbed in the heart and died.
Can we infer from this reaction that they not only know each other, but also have a huge hatred for each other, which is why they let the third person know that begging for mercy is useless?
She paused her pen on the paper for a moment, then slowly walked again and stood where the murderer had last stood.
Following the murderer's last movements and postures, I looked upstairs, and suddenly a window was slammed shut with a harsh sound.
The person I'm looking for...
Found it!
"Liang Yang, gone——"
She shouted. Liang Yang was drowned in the chatter of his uncles, aunts, older sisters and brothers. When he heard this, he felt like he had been granted amnesty.
“Here I come——”
They went straight to the sixth floor of the middle unit in the innermost building of the community on the left. Liang Yang watched their captain knock on the security door of the middle unit.
"I know you're home, open the door—"
She raised her voice by two points and spoke into the room, Liang Yang was a little confused.
Someone the captain knows?
But he soon realized that he was wrong.
"Police, if you don't open the door, I'll force my way in—"
Break in by force? Is that even possible?
There seems to be some illegality.
He became a little nervous.
I never expected that I didn't need to worry about this at all.
There was no other reason, it was just that the wooden door inside opened as soon as she finished speaking, revealing a non-mainstream young man in his twenties who was dressed very "trendy".
When he saw Qiu Jiang, his body trembled.
He was really frightened by her movement and posture of looking up from below, as if he was back to the time at noon when his back was soaked.
Seeing his reaction, Qiu Jiang knew it was safe.
"Do you recognize the three people who were stabbed to death at noon, and the murderer in the raincoat?"
When he heard the word "raincoat", he shuddered again.
Is this how the transcripts are taken now?
Liang Yang had a face full of question marks.
