Chapter 041 The Forty-first Melon
“Wuwuwu…”
Jiang Simin struggled desperately, trying to get out of the suitcase.
But although the suitcase was broken, it was very sturdy. Her hands and feet had no strength, and she was tied up and her mouth was taped, so she couldn't struggle at all.
"Behave yourself!" The man kicked the suitcase with a vicious look on his face.
Jiang Simin was startled. Fear, terror and trembling swept over her, and tears couldn't help but slide down her cheeks.
She regretted that she shouldn't have run away from home just because she was angry.
When she got into the taxi last night, her mind was still full of thoughts about how to take revenge on her family and how to make her parents regret it.
But now, she just hopes to survive.
With a ding sound.
The elevator door opened.
The man pulled the suitcase and strode towards the taxi.
His steps were impatient, his face was gloomy, and he was in a very irritable mood. According to his original plan, it would take at least half a month for the body to be discovered.
But he didn't expect that someone actually saw it this morning and called the police, and now even the TV stations are broadcasting this news.
It would be a lie for a man to say he wasn't nervous.
He was afraid that the girl's parents would call the police, which would then cause trouble for a city-wide search, so he went home early today to send the girl away.
"Hey, Lao Kong, you don't need to drive at this hour?"
Just as the man opened the trunk and was about to put the suitcase into the car, an old patrolman came over.
The man's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously clenched the suitcase in his hand, forcing a stiff smile on his face: "Yeah, Lao Xu, aren't you on holiday today?"
"What kind of holiday?" The old patrolman shook his head. "The higher-ups have told us that unless someone in your family dies, you have to go back to work today. You don't know, there's a dismemberment case!"
Dismemberment case?
When Jiang Simin heard these three words in the suitcase, her whole body stiffened and she tried to hit the suitcase with all her strength.
But the man was more cunning than her. He directly pressed the suitcase against the car and showed a surprised expression to the old patrolman: "Wow, so scary, who is so cruel?"
"Only the devil knows,"
The old patrolman was too lazy to care about these things. Seeing the man holding the suitcase, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you going out?"
The man was startled, but he quickly forced a smile and said, "Why are you going out? A customer's suitcase was left here, and I have to deliver it to him now."
"Oh, I was wondering, I've never seen you use this suitcase."
The old patrolman said with a smile: "Okay, I'll help you move in..."
"Wuwuwu——" Jiang Simin leaned her forehead against the wall of the box and rubbed it desperately, enduring the pain.
These noises attracted the old patrolman's attention to the suitcase, "This sound..."
The man subconsciously gripped the armrest and reached into his pocket with his other hand.
"Beep, beep—" the intercom sounded.
The old patrolman quickly answered it.
"PC189, a citizen reported that someone seemed to be carrying a bloody luggage bag near Dongtou Village Road, you go and check it out immediately!"
The person on the intercom said.
The old patrolman immediately agreed, waved to the man, and ran away.
The man then breathed a sigh of relief, and in one go he lifted the suitcase into the car, slammed the trunk shut, and drove away.
"Xiao Gu, Xiao Gu..."
Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan ran out of breath before they found Gu Xicao and Wang Laoshi at the shop.
Gu Xicao had just directed the workers to put the sofas in place. When he saw them like this, he was stunned and asked, "What happened to you? Why are you running like this?"
"It's urgent, important!"
Sun Zhaogan rested his hands on the table, his face covered in sweat.
Lin Jianyi's physical strength was much better than his, and he could speak directly at this moment, "Xiao Gu, we need to trouble you to help us identify the murderer of a serial murder case."
Serial murder case?
Gu Xicao looked confused. Seeing that there was a TV in the room, Lin Jianyi turned it on and switched a channel to her. "It's this case. We just found some body parts. It is suspected that the murderer is likely to continue committing crimes."
Gu Xicao's eyes fell on the dismemberment cases reported on TV three years ago.
Obviously, just as the police expected, the paparazzi have linked today's case with the case three years ago.
"Okay, I was wondering why you guys suddenly ran away, it turns out you came here to pick up girls."
Just as Gu Xicao was staring at the TV, Ren Shazhan walked in with a few PCs.
Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan were both stunned.
Sun Zhaogan asked angrily, "Are you following us?"
"Meah, please speak with some respect. We don't have the time. We were patrolling here, and we saw you guys wandering around outside." A PC looked at Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan with displeasure: "You are in charge of the other side, but you came here. You are not being lazy, but what are you doing?"
"What do you know? We are here to find the master to calculate the whereabouts of the murderer."
Sun Zhaogan said unhappily.
"Agan!" Lin Jianyi really couldn't be stopped.
This kid's mouth is looser than his belt.
Ren Shazhan and the others were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Ren Shazhan laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "Oh my god, our police are actually looking for a fortune teller to handle a case. If this gets out, it will really make people laugh to death."
"That's right. If you still want to get promoted, just be a PC." Several PCs said sarcastically.
It is said that a person who is not envied is a mediocre person.
Sun Zhaogan and Lin Jianyi had no background, but they performed very well after entering the police station. Their colleagues saw this and were jealous.
"You——" Sun Zhaogan was so angry that he clenched his fists and wanted to hit someone.
Gu Xicao walked towards them, glanced at Ren Shazhan and the others, and said to Lin Jianyi and the others, "I figured it out, but there's something you need to know first."
"What's the matter?" When Lin Jianyi saw that there was no smile on Gu Xicao's face, he knew that something big might have happened.
Gu Xicao said: "He has a girl in his hand, and he plans to kill her today."
Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan's expressions changed instantly.
"We have to leave immediately!"
Gu Xicao said without thinking.
Lin Jianyi was stunned for a moment: "You want to go with us too? No, it's too dangerous. Let's just go."
"Stop talking nonsense and get going." Gu Xicao urged Lin Jianyi and the others.
Sun Zhaogan was quick-witted and ran out to stop a car for requisition. Before Ren Shazhan and his group could react, the three men had already run away and disappeared.
“Boom—”
The suitcase was thrown on the ground, and Jiang Simin finally woke up.
The skin on her forehead was broken and blood flowed to her mouth, causing the tape to loosen a little. Jiang Simin immediately seized the opportunity and shouted, "Help, help!"
tear——
The suitcase opened.
Kong Shunxiao took off his mask, a sneer appeared on his face, and he looked at Jiang Simin and shouted for help.
It was not until Jiang Simin's voice became hoarse that he reached out and grabbed Jiang Simin's hair, "Little bitch, keep shouting, keep shouting, I'm the only one living in this mountain, even if you shout until your throat hurts, no one will come to save you!"
Jiang Simin's face turned pale. Through the window, she could see dense trees and lush greenery not far away. This was clearly not in the urban area.
Kong Shunxiao saw her face getting paler and paler, and a twisted sense of pleasure surged in his heart.
"It hurts, doesn't it? Are you scared? Don't be afraid. I'm very quick. I killed all those women before with just one cut."
Jiang Simin was so scared that she started to cry. "Please let me go. I will never report you. My parents are very rich. Please forgive me. I don't want to die."
"Humph!" Kong Shunxiao left the woman behind and stood up with a sneer. "I let you go, do you think I'm a fool? Just accept your fate. No woman I caught has ever escaped. It's your bad luck. I wanted to keep you for a few more days, but now you have to work hard so that you can report back."
After he said this, he left Jiang Simin and went into the kitchen to sharpen the knife.
Jiang Simin fell to the ground. The tape on her mouth had fallen off, but her hands and feet were still unable to move. She looked around. The soil on the ground smelled extremely fishy. From time to time, one or two cockroaches would come out, and flies were buzzing everywhere.
Her eyes caught sight of a loose bag in the corner, and inside the bag was a woman's foot.
Jiang Simin vomited almost instantly.
"It's right here!" Gu Xicao looked around and pointed at the tree house not far away.
"Agan, have you contacted the police station?" Lin Jianyi asked in a low voice.
Sun Zhaogan nodded: "Chen Shazhan has brought people here. He wants us to stabilize the situation and not let anything happen to the hostages."
Lin Jianyi took out his pistol and pulled the safety pin.
Gu Xicao stopped him: "Do you want to go up?"
"Yes!" Lin Jianyi's face showed determination. He had changed his clothes on the way here.
Gu Xicao glanced at him and shook her head, "No! If you go up there alone as a man, the murderer will definitely be alert. It would be bad if we alert the enemy."
Sun Zhaogan said: "What Xiao Gu said makes some sense, but we can't let you go. No matter how powerful you are, you are still a citizen, and there is no such thing as asking citizens to protect the police."
Gu Xicao narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked Sun Zhaogan, "When we came here just now, did you see a window at the back?"
Sun Zhaogan thought about it and realized that he did see it when he ran over there.
"Then let's do this, listen to me..." Gu Xicao whispered her plan.
After hearing her words, Lin Jianyi hesitated for a moment and nodded.
In the wooden house, Kong Shunxiao had already sharpened the knife. He walked out of the kitchen with the knife, grinning, and walked towards Jiang Simin.
Jiang Simin's face was pale, and she kept begging for mercy: "No, please let me go, uncle, please..."
"Is there anyone here? Is there anyone here?"
Suddenly, a woman's soft voice came from outside the house.
Jiang Simin's eyes lit up and she was about to shout for help, but the man reacted faster than her. He covered her mouth with one hand and found some tape to seal her mouth.
However, there was also a look of panic on the man's face.
He was extremely confused and wondered if the police had found their way here.
But how is this possible?
The police have always been slow in handling cases. He has killed so many people, but no one has come to Lantau Island to investigate.
"Strange," Gu Xicao muttered at the door, "There are cars near this house, why don't I see anyone?"
“Crunch—”
The door opened in response, and a man looked up and down at Gu Xicao through the crack of the door, holding a knife behind him. "What's the matter?"
"Wow, it would be nice if there was someone."
Gu Xicao came over hopping on a branch and said, "I twisted my ankle while climbing the mountain. Can I borrow your phone to call the police?"
Call the police?
The man's heart skipped a beat.
At this critical moment, what he feared most was hearing the word "police".
"Okay, come in."
He pushed the door open and invited Gu Xicao to come in, but half of his body was still hiding behind the wooden door.
Gu Xicao's eyes flashed. Just as she expected, as long as she mentioned calling the police, this man would definitely let her in.
"I'm sorry, I can't walk very well and my feet hurt when I move. Can you come out and help me?"
Gu Xicao said coquettishly.
Sun Zhaogan was lying in ambush nearby. As long as the killer was lured out, Sun Zhaogan would immediately open the warehouse!
"Help you?" The man didn't know why, but he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
He looked at Gu Xicao and said, "I'm sorry, my arm is twisted, so it's not convenient for me to help you. Please come in by yourself."
He had already clenched the knife, waiting for Gu Xicao to come in, then raised his hand and chopped it down.
Gu Xicao seemed to be unaware of this. She showed an aggrieved expression and said, "Is that so? Okay."
After saying this, she hopped forward, leaning on a branch.
The man also gripped the knife tighter.
"How long will it take to get to that place?!" Chen Shazhan urged the policeman who was driving, sweat breaking out on his forehead.
The policeman replied: "Almost, almost, yes, I saw the car that Xiao Sun mentioned!"
The police car drove over quickly, but before it stopped, they heard a bang from the top of the mountain, followed by two more bangs. Everyone was stunned, then quickly stopped the car, got out, and rushed towards the tree house on the top of the mountain.
“Boom boom boom—”
The man was pinned down, his hands cuffed and pressed to the ground, and he kept struggling.
Sun Zhaogan held the man's head tightly, "If you dare to move, I will smash your head with a wooden cannon!"
Lin Jianyi's face was flushed, and he was still a little dazed as he held the wooden basket in his hands.
Gu Xicao patted his chest in shock and looked at Lin Jianyi with some admiration, "Brother Lin, your Mucang method really didn't lie, it's really accurate."
Lin Jianyi looked at Gu Xicao helplessly, "I just told you that you shouldn't take risks. This man is so cruel that he was hit in one hand, but he still switched hands to commit the crime!"
Gu Xicao kicked the knife on the ground and said, "You saw it too. If I hadn't taken the risk, this guy would have killed the girl."
Lin Jianyi looked at the knife, then at Gu Xicao, and a helpless smile appeared on his tough face: "Okay, you win."
"Jianyi, Zhaogan!" Chen Shazhan rushed over with his men and saw Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan already escorting the prisoners out.
Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan clasped their legs together and saluted: "Sir, with the help of informants from PC1789 and PC9290, we successfully arrested the suspect Kong Shunxiao, and the victim is safe."
Chen Shazhan looked at the dusty Lin Jianyi and Sun Zhaogan, then looked at Gu Xicao who was helping Jiang Simin out, and the corners of his lips gradually rose.
"well done!"
