Chapter 124 [Mask] is making [Mask]
The body was found in a trash can behind the school cafeteria, soaked in filth, with food scraps and all kinds of garbage clinging to the surface. When it was slowly carried out, the air was filled with a disgusting stench of decay.
Li Shang frowned, his face gloomy. He covered his nose lightly and looked solemnly at the corpse lying on the ground.
Like the two previous [Masked] horror works, this corpse was also tortured into a shriveled corpse state.
His limbs and neck were cruelly broken, and he was curled up in a twisted and horrifying posture. His neck was painfully twisted into a 90-degree angle, and his face was facing upwards, staring directly at the empty air above, as if silently telling the horror and despair before death.
"What's that on the face of this corpse?" Li Shang was puzzled. He quickly squatted down and got closer to observe carefully. On the bloody face, a few glaring white objects looked particularly abrupt.
He carefully extended his fingers and lightly touched the white objects. Suddenly, a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his head like an electric current. "Bones, are there a few cheekbones that have turned out from under the flesh and blood?!"
Li Shang was shocked. "Unlike the [mask] where the entire face is covered with bones, this corpse only has a few cheekbones exposed, which only takes up about 1/10 of the entire face."
"But the nature is the same."
"It is beyond doubt. There is no doubt about it. These crimes must have been committed by [Mask]."
"Moreover, the killing methods have continued to escalate. [Mask] is no longer satisfied with just sucking blood and breaking limbs. [Mask] has begun to carve the faces of the dead?"
"The bones are exposed on the face. It looks like a broken, incomplete [masked] corpse."
Li Shang felt a chill in his heart, and a terrifying and absurd thought suddenly occurred to him: "[Mask] is not only killing people, [Mask] is making new [Mask]?!!"
After so many years of investigating and solving so many cases, Li Shang feels that there has never been a moment when his imagination is so active as it is now.
Solving cases requires a bit of imagination, and this moment is the peak moment of Li Shang's imagination.
Li Shang came up with an answer in his mind: "The corpse on the ground is a defective product that was destroyed when the [Mask] failed to make it?"
"Mask is an inhuman monster, but this monster was originally transformed from a human. However, [Mask] is not satisfied with being alone, he is trying to turn other people into [Mask] as well. He is eager to create his own kind!!!"
Li Shang stood up suddenly and glanced at Chang Erbing with a sharp gaze: "Who has entered or left the cafeteria today?"
Chang Erbing's expression was equally solemn. He responded in a deep voice, "Among the 50 suspects listed so far, 47 of them have been in and out of the cafeteria today."
Li Shang pressed on: "What did the surveillance team members say? Did they find anything suspicious?"
Chang Erbing replied: "I just asked everyone one by one and did not observe any suspicious behavior."
After a pause, Chang Erbing added, "In order not to alert [Masquerade], we have reduced the surveillance forces inside the school as much as possible, and only arranged a few plainclothes officers disguised as faculty members to observe. But the flow of people in the cafeteria is too large, and it is possible that there were omissions."
Li Shang felt a little irritated and realized that he might have fallen into a misconception of thinking.
He originally thought that since a murder had occurred in the school, [Mask] would be more restrained and would most likely choose to find a corner outside the school that would not be easily noticed for the next action.
Therefore, he focused his surveillance on the movements of the 50 suspects after school, closely following their every move. However, to his surprise, [Masquerade] did the opposite and chose to continue killing people in the school.
"Is this blind and fearless arrogance, or is he sure that as long as he hides deep in the campus, the police will have no chance to catch him? Could it be that he had already anticipated the police's strategy and became even more fearless because of it?"
Li Shang was speculating anxiously in his heart.
"But how could he possibly know the police station's search strategy? It's impossible for [Mask] to have spies in the police station."
Li Shang lit a cigarette irritably and asked Chang Erbing, "Are there any abnormal reports from the surveillance at the police station?"
Chang Erbing shook his head. "The police department sent the second team. Their captain, Gou Xin, just contacted me and said that everything was normal and no abnormalities were found."
Li Shang took a deep breath, glanced at the group of students gradually gathering outside the cafeteria, and said solemnly: "Send the body to the hospital for examination, let's go back to the police station first."
The cunning and rampant nature of [Mask] was beyond Li Shang's expectations, and the school's investigation came to a standstill, which made Li Shang feel extremely heavy.
Fortunately, [Black Face] was caught. Maybe we can find a new breakthrough there? In the crowd, Feng Yuhuai, whose face was slightly pale, watched silently, with his right hand in his pocket, holding a rag doll. The rag doll stuck out its red tongue, and its color became more and more rosy.
So, 40 minutes later.
The police station morgue.
Li Shang's face was as gloomy as if covered with dark clouds.
His eyes were fixed on the headless corpse on the morgue bed, on top of which was an iron basin filled with bright red and pale flesh, brain matter and broken bones.
He glared at the iron basin on the bed and asked sinisterly, "Tell me, is this the [Black Face] sent by the police?"
Chang Erbing's face was as black as coal. He replied, "The police told me that they would send the person to us right away, but they didn't mention that they would send him in this way."
"The face is gone, how can I confirm who this is? Ah, just find a black guy and tell me he's a black face? Is this how the police handle cases?"
Li Shang judged others by himself and seriously suspected that the police had just found a scapegoat to get the job done.
"The job was too rough." Li Shang suppressed his anger and asked word by word: "Where is the murderer?"
Chang Erbing hesitated for two seconds and said hesitantly, "The police said they were a little late and didn't see the murderer."
Li Shang laughed out of anger: "This is ridiculous. Who is handling this matter at the police department?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Chang Erbing: "I asked around and was told that it was the Third Team of the Police Investigation Department, and the team leader was that crazy woman Liu Xie."
Li Shang's face darkened slightly. He had long heard of Liu Xie's unscrupulous notoriety in the police department. He had no intention of provoking such a difficult character.
However, reality forced him to give an explanation to the special envoy.
[Black face] He must pass on the blame for the sudden break of this clue.
It is not only to remove the word "agent" from the head, but also to keep the head in front of the agent.
Li Shang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said in a deep voice: "Let's go find the special envoy."
Chang Erbing nodded and was about to follow.
Li Shang stopped again and said to him, "Forget it, I will go and report to the special commissioner myself, and you go to the Green Wolf Gang to find Ma Bin."
After a short pause, Li Shang's tone became heavier, and he continued, "The people in the Third Team of the Investigation Department are unreliable, and the Second Team is not necessarily trustworthy either. Go find Ma Bin and ask him to arrange his men to help us keep a close eye on those students."
Chang Erbing nodded and responded with a serious expression, "I understand. I'll do it right away."
……. Before being pushed into the operating room, I asked the doctor if it hurt.
The doctor said it didn’t hurt.
The doctor didn't lie to me, the whole operation was painless, but after the operation the anesthetic wore off and it almost hurt like hell.
My question was not rigorous, Zhuo. I thought I would be able to write after the operation, but it seems that I overestimated my willpower.
It’s over today, just this one chapter, and I endured the severe pain and held my phone for 5 hours to type it out. It’s really over. I’m exhausted and my brain is numb.
I can only force myself to go to sleep, hoping that the pain will go away when I fall asleep.
I should feel better tomorrow and will resume updating as normal. I will try to be discharged from the hospital next month. I will write more next month. I hope you can forgive me.
I wish everyone has good health. When you are really sick and have to undergo surgery, you will know that compared to other things, good health is more important than anything else.
