◎Follow-up of the fifth and sixth live broadcasts (Part 2)◎
Jiang Chuxu held the necklace, feeling the warm touch on her fingertips. She closed her eyes again. Without any deliberate guidance, the faint figures standing blankly in the corner of the living room automatically established contact with her.
Chaotic fragments of perception came, no longer a repetitive cycle of death, but a focus of intense fear that kept pointing to one place.
She tried hard to identify the location in the picture. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said, "I found him. He's in room 307 of the Changle Hotel in the east of the city. I guess he's not planning to leave yet."
Lu Changan didn't hesitate at all. He immediately took out his cell phone and called his colleague.
He spoke quickly and clearly: "Zhang Qiang, the fugitive culprit in the Youhu Community family massacre, has been found. He's in room 307 of the Changle Hotel in the east city. Act immediately. Remember to seal off the exits and be careful. The target may be armed."
He hung up the phone and looked at Jiang Chuxu and Xiao Zhang: "Let's go over too."
Xiao Zhang nodded immediately, his expression tense but with a hint of excitement. After all, it was quite novel for a trainee police officer to encounter such a thing as arresting criminals for the first time in the team.
This time, Jiang Chuxu did not let the victim's soul trap the murderer, because this time was different from the last time. Last time, the victims hated the murderers, and they were not afraid.
These victims are different. Because of the repeated cycle of death, they are now extremely afraid of the murderer.
Jiang Chuxu also didn't want to cause a second harm to the victim's ghost.
The police acted very quickly. When Jiang Chuxu and the other two arrived, the front and back doors of the hotel had been blocked by plainclothes police.
Changle Hotel is an inconspicuous old hotel hidden in an alley in the east of the city that is waiting to be demolished. Fortunately, Room 307 can be seen from a snack stall outside.
The leading policeman saw Lu Changan making a gesture, indicating that Room 307 was under complete surveillance and the target was inside but had not been noticed for the time being.
Jiang Chuxu, Lu Changan and Xiao Zhang were observing in a snack bar opposite the hotel.
Jiang Chuxu held Xiao Hei in his arms and scratched its chin from time to time.
"Forced attack?" Xiao Zhang asked in a low voice.
Lu Changan observed the tightly closed window on the third floor of the hotel: "The situation inside is unclear. A forced attack is too risky, so we won't consider it for now."
Arrest operations are the police's specialty, so Jiang Chuxu did not interrupt.
She was just looking towards Room 307 when she suddenly sensed a bloody ghost inside. It seemed like that ghost had done a lot of bad things.
It seems that Zhang Qiang also raised a little ghost during the year he was on the run. It was because of this little ghost that he repeatedly escaped the police's capture, making the police mistakenly believe that Zhang Qiang had strong anti-detection capabilities.
As for the talisman in the victim's house, it might have been given by the person who gave it to Zhang Qiang, the little ghost.
Jiang Chuxu's eyes narrowed. Looking at Zhang Qiang's current condition, he must have been attacked by the little ghost he raised.
There are many things to pay attention to when raising a little ghost. If you just want the little ghost to help you with some small things, then you only need to feed it raw meat and animal blood.
However, if you want the little ghost to do something big, such as escaping from police pursuit, then you have to feed it with your own blood, and use more blood every day. As long as you stop feeding it one day, the little ghost will retaliate and eat the host.
Perhaps this can also explain why there were so many traces left in the victim's house. First, Zhang Qiang thought that no one would check it again, and second, Zhang Qiang did not dare to let the little ghost help him do things again.
Although Zhang Qiang probably wouldn't dare to drive the little ghost around again, what if he were to do something desperate? Then not only Zhang Qiang would be affected, but also the police and innocent people around him.
That little devil can't be kept.
Jiang Chuxu's mind moved slightly, and he squeezed the necklace tighter and tighter.
Her gaze seemed to penetrate the wall and accurately captured the little ghost clinging to Zhang Qiang's back.
The little ghost seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly raised his head, looked in the direction of Jiang Chuxu with his empty eye sockets, and let out a silent but obviously threatening roar from his mouth.
Unfortunately, this level of skill was not enough in front of Jiang Chuxu. She didn't even use any fancy moves, but just used her thoughts like an invisible chain to pull violently.
The little ghost let out a shrill scream that only Jiang Chuxu and the ghosts wandering nearby could hear, and then it was instantly peeled off from behind Zhang Qiang by an irresistible force.
The next second, the twisted and struggling gray shadow appeared above Jiang Chuxu's open palm.
Lu Changan rubbed his hands and muttered, "Why do I feel a little cold all of a sudden?"
Xiao Zhang was also nodding frantically beside him.
How could the two of them have imagined that Jiang Chuxu was just sitting here, but in fact he had quietly captured a little ghost with very shallow skills.
Xiao Hei was not even interested in dealing with the bloody little ghost. He just pounced on it casually, and the little ghost turned into green smoke in an instant, leaving no trace.
"The weather is so weird. It's suddenly not cold anymore." Xiao Zhang felt a little strange, but there was nothing around him. In the end, he could only attribute it to the weather.
At the same time, in room 307 of Changle Hotel.
Zhang Qiang, who was pacing anxiously in the narrow room, suddenly stiffened. A feeling of emptiness and severe pain that penetrated deep into his bones instantly swept over him, as if something that sustained his life was torn apart.
He staggered and his back hit the cold wall hard. His forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat. His face was as pale as a ghost and his lips trembled violently uncontrollably.
"Where's my guardian angel?!"
He covered his chest, growled desperately like a wild beast, and looked around in horror, completely losing the calmness he had just pretended to have.
He had been feeling increasingly restless these past few days, constantly wondering whether he should use his guardian angel to clear the traces of his arrival here.
But where is the guardian deity now? Didn't the master say that the guardian deity would never leave him?
Lu Changan and Xiao Zhang, who had been staring at the window of Room 307 across the hotel, looked stern at the same time!
"Captain! The target is moving!" Xiao Zhang whispered. He saw Zhang Qiang suddenly hit the wall with an expression of extreme pain and fear. This was definitely not a normal state.
Lu Changan also saw Zhang Qiang's obviously out-of-control reaction. He immediately pressed the communicator: "The situation has changed! The target's status is abnormal. Attention, assault team, take action immediately!"
The moment the order was given, the police lying in ambush in the corridor slammed open the door of Room 307 like an arrow.
The hotel owner stood in the back with a look of heartache on his face. The police officer next to him said mercilessly, "If you don't register your identity information, you will go in with him later."
Innkeeper: ...
Why do you feel sorry for yourself? Feel sorry for yourself first.
"Bang--!"
Sawdust flying!
"Don't move! Police!" The stern shouts were accompanied by several black gun muzzles, instantly pointing at the frightened man in the room.
Zhang Qiang was frightened out of his wits by the sudden breaking of the door and the roar. Coupled with the huge emptiness and panic brought about by losing the protection of the little ghost, he was completely stunned.
He subconsciously wanted to reach out to touch the sharpened screwdriver at his waist, but before he could do anything, he was pinned to the ground by two policemen who rushed over, with the cold muzzles of their guns pressed against the back of his head.
"Don't move!"
"Cuff him!"
It was a clean and neat move. Before Zhang Qiang could even put up a decent resistance, he was handcuffed and shackled and locked tightly. He struggled futilely on the ground like a fish out of water.
Lu Changan and Xiao Zhang quickly rushed upstairs and entered the room.
Looking at Zhang Qiang who was pinned to the ground as if he had lost his soul, Lu Changan couldn't help but frown slightly.
Jiang Chuxu followed slowly with Xiao Hei in her arms. She stood at the door, first glanced at the man lying limp on the ground, then looked at the faint trace of resentment left in the corner of the wall.
She sighed in her heart, this person really did all kinds of bad things.
"Take him away!" Lu Changan ordered.
The police dragged up Zhang Qiang, who was completely wilted.
When Zhang Qiang was dragged past Jiang Chuxu, he seemed to sense something. He looked up suddenly, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Jiang Chuxu and the lazy black cat in her arms.
His eyes were full of fear and resentment, as if he had seen something more terrifying than the police.
"It's you! You did it!" He wanted to shout hoarsely, but was stopped by the policeman next to him.
"Shut up! Behave!"
Jiang Chuxu showed a weird smile. Yes, she was deliberately trying to scare people.
Zhang Qiang was indeed frightened by this smile and trembled all over. He choked back the rest of his words and could only breathe heavily. He was then roughly dragged downstairs by the police.
Lu Changan walked to Jiang Chuxu and whispered, "Thank you for what you did just now."
He was referring to Zhang Qiang's sudden behavior, which was obviously related to Jiang Chuxu.
"You're welcome." Jiang Chuxu said in a flat tone, his eyes fixed on the place where Zhang Qiang had just hit the wall.
"That little thing he raised would be a nuisance if he kept it."
She didn't explain further.
Lu Changan nodded and didn't ask for details.
He glanced around the somewhat filthy room and said, "Team up! Search the scene thoroughly!"
The subsequent process proceeds step by step.
Zhang Qiang was taken back to the police station and was taken into the interrogation room only after his biological samples were collected.
Zhang Qiang sat in the chair, his initial panic and despair seemed to be suppressed, replaced by an almost numb ferocity and stubbornness.
He kept his head down and refused to make eye contact with the interrogating police officer.
Lu Changan's voice was calm and oppressive. "A week ago, you returned to Room 501, Building 7, Youhu Community. What did you do? Why did you go back?"
Zhang Qiang's neck was stiff and he remained silent.
"We retrieved your fingerprints and hair from the scene, as well as the skin scrapings left on the talisman paper. The DNA matches. You've been back there, and you can't deny it."
Lu Changan placed the evidence photos in front of Zhang Qiang.
At the mention of talisman paper, Zhang Qiang's body tensed up imperceptibly, but he still gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "I don't know what talisman is. I admit that I did go there a week ago, but what's the problem?"
Zhang Qiang's smile was filled with malice. He stared at Lu Changan and challenged him, "I did kill someone, so what? They kept begging me to at least let the child live. Since they felt so sorry for the child, I'll let their child die in front of them."
There is no doubt about this case. The evidence collected a year ago is enough to prove that he is one of the murderers of the family massacre.
The only suspicious point was the talisman paper, but Zhang Qiang said that he was guilty and afraid that the victim would pester him.
As for the origin of the talisman paper, he just drew it at a roadside stall.
Although Lu Changan knew that Zhang Qiang was not telling the truth, the police's focus in handling the case was not here. Unless other departments got involved, they could not focus on this point.
After the interrogation, Lu Changan suddenly walked in front of Jiang Chuxu.
"Comrade Jiang, Director Li from the Provincial Department wants to see you."
It finally came, Jiang Chuxu breathed a sigh of relief.
She has been waiting for a long time.
