Chapter 174 Wooden Cabinet
The woman was grabbed by the wrist by the man and thrown to the ground, and the iron wrench in her hand fell to the ground.
The woman subconsciously covered her belly.
The man who came was a middle-aged man, a head taller than the woman, with a well-proportioned figure and an unexpectedly gentle and elegant appearance.
He stared at the iron wrench that the woman had dropped and smashed on the ground, his tone as cold as a snake's: "What are you doing? Are you going to kill me?"
"I, I thought it was the police!" The woman looked panicked.
"Police?" Hearing the word, the man grabbed her neck and asked angrily, "Why are the police here? Did you call the police?"
The woman quickly shook her head: "I, I took the carpet to the laundry."
"The owner of the laundry shop found human blood on the carpet and demanded $300,000 in hush money from me."
The man tightened his grip on her neck and yelled angrily, "Useless thing! Who told you to take the carpet to the cleaners?"
"Why don't you wash it yourself?"
"I can't wash it off, and I'm afraid you'll blame me." The woman pleaded in a low voice.
The man pulled her up from the ground. "Which laundry?"
The hallucination flashed, and it was still the basement.
Only the woman was missing.
The man was zipping up a 28-inch suitcase.
“Pah.”
A slender arm fell out of the suitcase, and the knuckles of the fingers clicked against the ground with a clear sound.
The man stuffed his arm back into the suitcase without changing his expression.
Then he picked up a roll of carpet from the ground and put it on the bottom floor of the wooden cabinet in the basement.
The moment the wooden cabinet was opened, the things inside made Xia Lili shudder.
In the wooden cabinet there was a shiny black hair, an organ soaked in a glass jar, a neatly folded pajamas... and even a clean doll.
The illusion ends here.
Xia Lili was already covered in cold sweat, and her chaotic vision receded like a tide.
The scene before my eyes was a dark alley.
Li Qihan was already beside her and stuffed a can of milk into her hand: "Are you okay?"
Xia Lili shook her head. She was about to tell Li Qihan about the hallucination she had just seen when the intercom on Li Qihan's chest rang.
The person on the other end of the intercom said, "Professor Li, that woman hailed a taxi, and we are now secretly following it."
"She took a taxi back to Panhu Villa District!" Xia Lili grabbed Li Qihan's arm. "Building C3! She lives in Building C3!"
Li Qihan's face turned grim as he spoke into the intercom, "Some people will stay at Jinyan Laundry and notify those who just evacuated from Panhu Villa District to quickly return and ambush Building C3."
Putting down the intercom, Li Qihan led Xia Lili into a police car and said, "Let's go first. We'll talk in the car about what happened."
On the way to Panhu Villa Area.
Xia Lili told Li Qihan the content of the hallucination she saw.
Li Qihan gripped the steering wheel tightly: "The man you described is similar in height and build to the Demon Butcher!"
Xia Lili took out the sketchbook she carried with her and began to draw the facial features of the man she saw in the hallucination.
It is easy to feel dizzy when drawing while driving. Xia Lili endured the discomfort and sketched the man's facial features, and then immediately sent it to the project communication group.
After doing all this, Xia Lili rubbed her swollen temples.
Li Qihan saw this, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes, and handed Xia Lili a bottle of ointment. "It's refreshing, and it can also be used for motion sickness."
"Thank you, Captain Li!" Xia Lili muttered as she applied medicine to her temples, "When the woman fell to the ground, she subconsciously covered her stomach."
"The man had a Band-Aid on his finger when he choked her."
Xia Lili remembers these two details very clearly.
Li Qihan hit the nail on the head: "Is she pregnant?"
Xia Lili recalled the woman's strange and contradictory behavior in the laundry surveillance video and said thoughtfully: "This woman's psychological state is very contradictory - she wants to call the police, but she doesn't dare to call the police."
"Could it be because of the pregnancy? Pregnant women's mentality does tend to change easily."
After all, the law has special provisions for pregnant women, who are usually exempt from detention or imprisonment and can wait until the child is born before the execution of the sentence. Moreover, she may also have to consider the child in her belly.
"Your analysis makes sense." Li Qihan nodded. He continued to speculate, "As for the Band-Aid, was the Demon Butcher injured?"
The car stopped in a secluded place near Panhu Park.
The two followed the police team to the Panhu Villa area.
The voice of the ambushed police officer came over the communication channel: "Professor Li, that woman really got into Villa C3! You are amazing!"
"It's not that I'm powerful, it's that my informant is reliable." Li Qihan glanced at Xia Lili beside him.
The person on the other end of the intercom asked, "Professor Li, should we break in and arrest the person now, then ambush at the villa and wait for the other suspect to come out?"
Li Qihan replied: "Don't try to break through yet. The villa is likely to be monitored."
After a while, the police signal came over the channel.
"Strange, the woman didn't turn on the lights after entering the villa. Could she have gone to the basement that the informant mentioned?"
Li Qihan thought of what Xia Lili said when he saw car lights coming on outside the villa not long after the woman entered. "The target car is probably approaching, be careful to hide!"
“Be ready for action at any time!”
Soon, a hurried voice came from the intercom: "Someone is driving here!"
"It's a new energy vehicle, a BD Qin. I can't tell if it's an online ride-hailing vehicle or a private car."
Li Qihan said calmly, "Tighten the encirclement first."
"Team B is ready to break into the villa's basement and bring the woman out!"
After Neiliang's new energy vehicle came to a complete stop, a tall and well-proportioned man got out of the car.
The sharp-eyed Xia Lili's heart skipped a beat.
"It looks the same as the man in the informant's sketch!" The police officer in charge of observation said excitedly.
"Catch him now!"
At Li Qihan's command, the police officers lying in ambush around the villa immediately rushed forward.
The man reacted quickly and immediately got back into the car and drove away.
The police, who were well prepared, shot through the car tires with guns!
The police officers rushed over, pulled the man out of the car and handcuffed him.
The man had excellent psychological qualities. When the police pulled him down, he did not panic. Instead, he angrily asked, "Who are you and why are you arresting me?"
Li Qihan walked up to him and showed his ID: "You are suspected of being involved in a serial murder case. Come with us."
The man was very calm, but his tone was filled with anger at being wrongly accused: "Where is the evidence? What evidence do you police have to prove that I am involved in a murder case?"
At this time, another team of police officers came up with the woman in the basement.
The woman shuddered subconsciously when she saw the man.
But she was pinched on the shoulder by the policewoman next to her.
The woman whispered, "Comrade police officer, I can testify that he is the demon butcher you have been pursuing!"
"His name is Gu Xin, and on the surface he's the boss of a foreign trade company!"
