Chapter 223 Why are there so many people? [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]
Are there any examples of people dying and coming back to life?
Yes, there are, like this, there are at least nine more.
For example, there is a rumor that a man died from childhood to adulthood and often had accidents, but every time he died, his body came back to life not long after.
Or there was a famous incident that happened in the hospital morgue.
The doctor failed to save the injured person who was sent to the operating room, and had no choice but to push him into the morgue. But not long after, the dead body suddenly stood up on the bed in the dark morgue.
Of course, there are examples of people coming back to life from the dead, but "these are all cases where no one deliberately murdered someone."
"And the body that the truck driver saw on the night of the 7th was most likely murdered by someone else. The chances of surviving under such circumstances are too slim."
"So, on the morning of the 15th, which was this morning, the person the other party saw was most likely someone else."
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Hao and others arrived at a block.
This is the west side of Jiangsan City, a very ordinary neighborhood with countless alleys and one main street, all made of cement, no asphalt.
Because this road can be connected to the highway, trucks travel frequently, and the road surface is poor, with cracks everywhere.
"Since the accident eight days ago, the deceased had been resting at home until the day before yesterday when he felt all right."
"I went to see my boss yesterday and planned to continue driving, but who would have thought that something would happen again early this morning."
Zhao Shui shook his head and smacked his lips.
Eyes staring into the distance.
There was a truck parked there, and next to the truck was a self-built house that was smashed to pieces. The walls had collapsed and the bed in the bedroom could be clearly seen.
It's like a wild boar entering a chicken coop.
"We checked the cameras in the area and found out where the vehicle accelerated and stopped."
Zhao Shui pointed to a breakfast shop.
"That's it. The surveillance showed that the deceased was going to have breakfast before driving on the highway."
"But one second he was walking towards the breakfast shop, but a few seconds later, he ran back in a hurry, and then the case began."
There are many traffic accidents in this area, so the traffic police installed several cameras.
Just in case it could help a little.
The person in charge is Sun Jian, who was sent by the capital police.
He was sitting in the breakfast shop at this time. When he saw someone coming outside, he stood up subconsciously.
"how's it going?"
"It's confirmed that the deceased did experience emotional fluctuations here."
Sun Jian replied.
Xu Hao nodded and then looked inside.
The breakfast shop is very simple, with a few tables, chairs and benches, and then the same few foods, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, porridge, sesame cakes, and the "sa" that is popular in several northern provinces. Overall, it is heavy in oil and salt.
The shop owners were a middle-aged couple, who were standing there at a loss, leaning on each other.
"Police Officer"
The man spoke haltingly, his clothes bleached from washing.
"Don't be nervous. This time I mainly came to you to understand some situations."
Zhao Shui spoke.
Then Xu Hao stepped forward and began the routine questioning.
"In the morning, before ten o'clock, have you ever met anyone strange in the breakfast shop that left a deep impression on you?"
"No, it's mainly because the guests come and go, and there are all kinds of accents from all over the country. I get used to some of the strange ones after seeing them many times."
“Have you ever met anyone with any fishy or foul smell?”
"No."
Xu Hao thought for a moment and said:
"You know Zhao Qiang, right?"
"I know him. He often comes here to take care of business. The car that crashed outside should be his."
The boss spoke, stretching his neck to look outside.
"When Zhao Qiang came to eat in the morning, was there a young man around 18 years old in the store?"
This road is basically used by drivers on the highway, most of whom are middle-aged people.
Young people stand out from the crowd!
The boss stroked his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Officer, it really exists!"
"Is he a man who is about 1.78 meters tall, with a well-proportioned body and short hair?" Xu Hao asked immediately.
Based on the body information provided by the deceased Zhao Qiang on the night of the 7th, the information of the body is roughly as follows.
Even if this is the second person, the information overlap must be very high to be able to scare Zhao Qiang like this.
Unexpectedly, "A man?"
The boss was surprised and looked at each other with his wife.
Seeing this, Zhao Shui and the others were moved, "What? Is it a girl?"
"No, it's not a woman. That's not right. You shouldn't say it's not a woman."
The boss was a little suspicious and said:
"Several people, three or four, four or five? I can't remember clearly."
"There were men and women, both quite young, their clothes were very dirty, and they were both very good looking. I'm not sure which one you are talking about, officer."
Four or five! ?
Everyone paused, and then their pupils shrank.
"What's going on? Shouldn't there be only one person?"
"I wonder if other people have also come back to life? No, they are the companions of the body that died on the night of the 7th?"
"They're all quite young, a bunch of 18-year-olds? Where are they from!?"
The boss's few words immediately messed up everyone's thoughts and crumpled them into a pile of shredded paper.
Four or five eighteen-year-old children disappeared. If they had parents, the number of calls to the police would probably be overwhelming.
If there are no parents, a quick check at the orphanage will reveal the facts, and the school will also make phone calls until smoke rises.
But the reality is that there is no sound at all. "Wait, the clothes are dirty?"
Xu Huo suddenly asked.
The boss nodded. "Yes, their clothes were very dirty, and some people's cotton jackets were torn, with the fur falling out."
"Is Mao still here?"
"It's in the trash can, and I haven't had time to empty it yet."
The boss pointed to a trash can and said.
Zhao Shui and Sun Jian immediately squatted in front of the trash can and searched for it.
"Is there any other information about his personality and speaking style?" Xu Huo didn't turn his head and continued to look at the boss and ask.
".It's really weird."
The boss thought about it carefully and found something strange.
"When these people eat, they like to watch the guests around them eat. They eat a little bit before others do, and they also eat a bit when others do."
"And while he was eating, he suddenly ran away, and he ran very fast, for no apparent reason."
Watching others eat?
And suddenly ran away! ?
"In which direction are you running?"
Xu Hao asked with a frown.
"They are running in all directions." The boss shook his head.
"Do you know what they are called?"
“I don’t know, who asks this?”
“Did they pay for their meals?”
"Yes."
"Give me the paper money they gave me."
Xu Hao used his own money to exchange for the money paid by the other party, and then signaled them to go about their business.
He turned around and looked at Zhao Shui.
The two were still rummaging through the trash can, but there wasn't much trash in it, and they soon found a few white hairs.
“Is this cotton?”
Sun Jian was wearing rubber gloves and holding the fluffy white stuff with tweezers, with a suspicious expression on his face.
"Not really." Zhao Shui said.
“It’s goose down.”
Xu Huo suddenly spoke, he sniffed, and instantly understood its material.
"Goose down?" Zhao Shui was suspicious.
Sun Jian was surprised, "Are they all wearing these?"
"That's quite rich. The cost of four or five of the cheapest down jackets is more than an average person's two-month salary."
Goose down jackets are quite expensive and are considered to be a higher-end category among down jackets.
An ordinary cotton-padded jacket costs only about one or two hundred yuan.
Goose down jackets are different. A low-end goose down jacket costs around 500 yuan.
The mid-range ones cost over a thousand, and the high-end ones start at three thousand.
And "one piece is enough." Xu Hao said as he observed the goose down.
"One piece is worth two months' salary?"
Zhao Shui was stunned for a moment.
Xu Hao ignored him, "The boss just said that they like to watch others eat, and they eat as others eat."
“What do you think this behavior is?”
Sun Jian thought for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel like this is an imitation?"
"Yes, I think so too." Xu Hao nodded.
"I have to imitate eating!?"
Li Jianye was puzzled.
How can people in their 18s and 19s have to imitate others when eating? "Could it be that they have never eaten this kind of food?"
Zhao Shui looked at the goose down in his hand, and felt uncomfortable when he thought that one piece of clothing cost more than his monthly salary.
"The things they wear are not affordable for ordinary people, and their family background is certainly not ordinary."
"But this kind of breakfast shop... forget it."
Zhao Shui thought about it for a moment and gave up reluctantly.
It’s nothing more than steamed buns and fried dough sticks. Even if you have never seen the ones with heavy oil and salt, you must have eaten those expensive steamed buns.
It's not that he won't eat ordinary meals. "No, it's very likely."
Xu Huo spoke, he loosened his hand, and a few crumpled coins appeared in his palm.
“This is their meal money.”
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Li Jianye observed for a moment and didn't notice anything different.
"The money was wrinkled, and most of it was small change. It was obvious that it was not what those children deserved."
"And you should get close and smell the coins." Xu Huo reminded.
Li Jianye stretched out his head and sniffed, and a fishy smell appeared in his nose.
"Fishy smell, a very strong fishy smell!" he exclaimed.
Normal coins also have a smell, but most of the time it is the smell of the material of the coin.
But this money is different, it has a strong fishy smell.
"Fishy!"
Xu Hao said affirmatively, "The previous owner of the coin must have dealt with fish, and it didn't take long for it to be in the hands of these people."
"Did they steal it?" Zhao Shui asked.
"Not likely. These people have to imitate even eating, how could they possibly steal?" Sun Jian shook his head.
"That's voluntary."
Xu Huo nodded. Even if it was not given voluntarily, it still had to be checked as if it was given voluntarily.
"Investigate the human traffickers, the beach, the fishermen, the seafood market, etc."
I recalled what my boss had said before about my clothes being dirty.
What does dirty mean? It means the environment, the environment they live in is not good.
Combined with the bodies found on the night of the 7th, it means that these people have most likely been wandering outside for eight days. "I suspect these people may not be from Jiangsan City."
"That's why the police files and the calls to the police couldn't find out their identities."
Xu Huo said again.
"Why did they come to Jiangsan City?" Li Jianye was suspicious.
"Did you offend someone?"
Zhao Shui thought for a moment and said, "The body found on the night of the 7th can prove that someone committed murder."
"What the boss said, that they suddenly ran away in all directions, can also prove that they were included in the target of the murder."
"What do you think? Could it be that they have offended someone and someone is trying to kill them?"
No one objected.
This is indeed possible.
“Consolidate the information.”
"That is to say, a group of people with strange origins and who look like human beings have come to Jiangsan City, and there is another group of people chasing and killing them."
Xu Hao started talking.
"The man being hunted was about 18 years old, with a strong build and wearing expensive clothes."
"They may be related to fishermen. The banknotes in their hands have a unique smell of the sea."
From this perspective, the idea is much clearer.
But. "Why didn't they call the police?"
Suddenly, Sun Jian said doubtfully:
"Someone was chasing them, why didn't they call the police!?"
Everyone hesitated.
yes.
If you know that there is a madman squatting at your door, with a knife in his hand ready to stab you in the neck.
Would you choose to jump out of the window and run away, or call the police?
This is the case with the murderer.
But they chose the first one! Keep running!
He ran for at least eight days, and his clothes were all rotten, but he didn't call the police.
This doesn't make sense.
Anyone with a bit of common sense should know what to do.
Unless "they even need to imitate eating." Li Jianye said, "Is there a possibility that they don't know about calling the police?"
Sun Jian:? Sun Jian was completely stunned.
He didn't even know to call the police? Is he still a human being?
No kidding, nowadays even children aged five or six know to call the police when they encounter problems or bad people.
But the escapees don’t know that this is wrong. What kind of environment in the world would give rise to such distorted cognition?
Their clothes alone were worth a fortune, but they didn't even know how to eat or call the police. "It's broken!"
Suddenly, Zhao Shui spoke.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Shui said with an unpleasant expression: "If these people really don't understand the concept of calling the police, they definitely don't know the police either."
"Will that cause them to actively hide when the police are looking for them?"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly tensed.
Indeed, if the other party actively evades, then the search work will increase by at least half! "Search all the suspicious points of each piece of information first."
Xu Hao spoke with a headache.
"I'll be in charge of the coast." Sun Jian nodded.
"I'll go find the special police and find out if there are any foreign organizations coming in." Zhao Shui said.
Li Jianye was about to say something but was interrupted by Xu Hao.
"Old Li, come with me to find those who escaped."
Hearing this, Li Jianye said nothing more and just nodded.
After the tasks were assigned, everyone dispersed.
"Should we get a police dog?"
Li Jianye looked around blankly. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Hao said nothing and just walked forward.
Li Jianye had no choice but to follow.
"Are we really not going to get a police dog?"
"It happened in the morning and the police dog can still smell it."
"Really?"
"We can't just be at a loss like this"
Eight o'clock in the evening.
It was getting dark and the wilderness was pitch black. Li Jianye kept saying something as he looked at the dark shadow in front of him.
Until "Stop."
Xu Huo suddenly stopped.
He sniffed and looked around.
The smell disappeared from here.
No, it didn't disappear, it was covered up!
"Did you bring the Luminol?"
"Yes."
"Give me."
Xu Huo took the luminol reagent, hesitated for a moment, and groped in the dark, spraying it everywhere under the bridge.
Nothing at all.
Until in a trance.
A fingernail-sized flash of blue fluorescence appeared before my eyes.
This is the bloodstain that has not been covered up! "Blood!" Li Jianye's pupils condensed.
Xu Hao nodded.
The disappearance of the smell was covered up by special means, but this was the only bloodstain left, which could only mean that the rest of the bloodstains were covered up, rather than that the other party escaped.
That is, "here."
"Someone died."
Someone died here, and Li Jianye felt a little dazed.
He suddenly felt a little familiar.
Just like the deceased Zhao Qiang on the night of the 7th.
The other party saw a dead body at night eight days ago. Eight days later in the morning, he saw the dead body come back to life. In an instant, Li Jianye's eyes twitched.
Will the people who died here come back to life at some point in time!? Xu Hao didn't think about this. What he was thinking about was "The cover-up method is very professional. The only thing is that it can't be found because it is covered by the rubble under the bridge."
"What is the origin of this group of people?"
“Why are you hunting these people down?”
In a trance, Xu Hao narrowed his eyes.
“Corpse.”
"Where did you go again?"
