Red Makeup Serial Murder Case (20)
The scene in the rain was blurry, but she seemed to recognize Zhao Yuting. She saw Yuting stumbling and running in the rain, and suddenly she was hugged by a figure in a black raincoat from behind. In an instant, Yuting's body seemed to lose consciousness, and the figure in the black raincoat carried Yuting on its back.
The picture disappeared in an instant, and it turned into a new picture. Yuting was thrown into the trunk of a car. Her head tilted when she fell into the trunk, and her black hair covered her mouth, which made people feel distressed. With a "bang", the sound of the trunk door closing drowned everything into the darkness.
In a flash, the third picture flashed up. The murderer was carrying Zhao Yuting on his back and breathing heavily. Perhaps the raincoat was too heavy, coupled with Zhao Yuting's weight and body temperature, the murderer produced rapid and excited panting.
A flashlight shone in front, which seemed to be the flashlight of the murderer. The flashlight hit a double door. As the light swayed, Meng Siqi saw the words painted on the door: Great World Table Tennis Hall.
The picture is obliterated.
"Great World Table Tennis Stadium?" Meng Siqi almost blurted out, her body shaking slightly.
Lu He held her arm and said, "Siqi, what did you say?"
"Let's go to the Great World Table Tennis Stadium now, Lu He!" Meng Siqi shouted urgently, like a string tightening her nerves.
"Siqi, how do you know it's the Great World Table Tennis Stadium?" Zhao Lei Ting asked.
"Stop talking nonsense," Lu He ordered, "Do you know that? Take us there right away!" He handed him the car keys.
"I know, I know." Zhao Lei Ting seemed to have found hope of survival, and said excitedly, "I've been there, less than ten kilometers away!"
He said, and rushed to the car that was driving on the road, got in and started the engine.
Meng Siqi and Lu He also ran into the car. The car then sped away. In the car, Lu He contacted Cai Shuangxi and Liang Yunfeng, "Contact the ambulance immediately, Great World Billiards Stadium, quickly! Call a full police team, rush to the Great World Billiards Stadium immediately!"
"I know, team leader. I'll contact them right away." This time it was Liang Yunfeng who answered, his voice was urgent.
A few minutes later, the police car screeched to a halt in front of the Great World Billiards Stadium.
The door was closed, there was no light inside, and it was raining heavily outside with thunder and lightning. No one cared about what was happening in the billiard hall.
The three men rushed to the door and found that it was locked from the inside. Lu He slammed his arm against the door, and it opened with a click.
In front of them was the front reception hall. The three of them shone flashlights around but found nothing. There was a big door at the corner of the hall, and Meng Siqi was the first to push it open.
There was light, a faint light inside, like a standing desk lamp, placed right in the center of the room, illuminating a small space.
Because of the light, I could vaguely see that the room was a billiard room with many billiard tables, at least eight or nine.
Apart from the pool table, there was nothing more to be found under the dim light.
Meng Siqi ran towards the light, and Lu He followed closely. He was probably worried about her safety, so he was just half a meter behind her.
After running a few steps, Meng Siqi suddenly stopped and stopped behind him with his hand, "Lu He, don't come over!"
She found that under the dim light, there was a person lying on the billiard table in the middle, and the snow-white skin was faintly reflected in her eyes.
It must be Zhao Yuting without a doubt, and her body was naked. Now she didn't want Lu He and the others to observe Zhao Yuting's condition.
Lu He understood, and he and Zhao Leiting turned around.
"Siqi, use my clothes." Lu He was taking off his shirt. He knew the murderer's method of committing the crime. He would definitely cut open the victim's clothes from head to toe. Although he did not see Zhao Yuting's appearance, at this moment, he could guess that Zhao Yuting was already naked.
"Road team, road team." Zhao Leiting tore open his clothes violently, and the buttons fell to the ground. "Use my clothes. I'm still wearing a vest inside."
He seemed to have calmed down, but when he handed the clothes to Lu He, Lu He found that Zhao Leiting's hands were trembling, his lips were pale, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Zhao Leiting, don't be anxious, wait for Siqi's news."
It is still uncertain whether Zhao Yuting is in trouble. Meng Siqi has already walked to Zhao Yuting's billiard table.
Her tears immediately flowed out.
Zhao Yuting was lying quietly on the billiard table, slightly to the side, which might have made it easier for the murderer to put on makeup on her.
Like the previous victims and Tan Xiaoshuang, her face, body and limbs were all painted with exquisite red makeup. She usually wore long black hair, but now her hair was spread out like a peacock's feathers.
She had seen this skirt last time, when she went to see her at school. It was a blue skirt, made of excellent material and with a novel style. Zhao Yuting said that she valued her very much, so she wore it so beautifully.
Today, the graduation party should be the most important moment for her, so she still wears this blue dress.
But the skirt had been cut symmetrically and laid on the pool table.
A pair of beautiful, clean high heels were neatly placed next to her feet, and her toenails were also delicately made up in red.
Her hands were folded on her abdomen, with her right hand on top and her left hand on the bottom. One could vaguely see that the nail on her left index finger had been pulled out, and blood was flowing along the nail, which was particularly bright compared to the other red nails.
There was not even the slightest rise and fall in her chest. Meng Siqi nervously felt her carotid artery pulse, but it was gone, not a single pulsation.
Yuting is dead.
"Siqi, catch it!" Lu He threw a shirt to him from behind.
She didn't catch it, and the shirt fell on her head.
Perhaps something was blocking her, she could no longer suppress her tears and cried desperately, but she dared not make any sound for fear that they would hear her. She could not imagine how much pain Zhao Yuting had experienced before her death.
When she took off her clothes, she suddenly noticed that there were several billiard balls placed randomly on the table next to Zhao Yuting.
There seemed to be no pattern in the placement of the billiard balls. There were at least seven or eight of them scattered around, and the black eight was shiny and black, which was extremely dazzling.
"Lu He, the murderer just escaped!" Meng Siqi put his clothes on Zhao Yuting and shouted loudly.
The murderer was an extremely perverted mysophobia. He would never allow the scene to be so messy. He must have not finished arranging the scene, and because someone arrived in time, he escaped.
"There may be an exit there!" Meng Siqi rushed towards the back door.
"Zhao Leiting, hold the scene!" Lu He ran after her.
In a blink of an eye, Meng Siqi rushed to the bathroom at the back. It was a very spacious men's bathroom with a tall open window and rain pouring in.
"It's right here." Meng Siqi shouted.
Lu He had already run to her side, "Okay!"
Meng Siqi felt that she could not climb up. Before she could react, Lu He picked up her legs and lifted her high. Meng Siqi climbed up the window and jumped out.
She rolled to the ground. It was raining heavily outside and the ground was muddy. She was covered in mud, but she immediately got up and chased after him. Lu He jumped out of the window and followed closely behind her.
There were many low-rise buildings behind the window, all of them were bungalows, but there was only one road leading to the main road. Meng Siqi ran madly, and her flashlight suddenly illuminated a dark shadow in the rain. She shouted, "Lu He, ahead!"
Lu He ran as fast as he could and passed by her.
The black shadow was also running, but in a moment it turned into a corner and disappeared.
We must not let him leave! Meng Siqi gritted her teeth and followed Lu He's steps desperately. The rain washed over her face like a knife.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out like thunder across the night sky!
At this critical moment, Lu He suddenly turned around, picked her up, and threw her to the ground. He hugged her tightly, as if acting as a protective cushion for her, and rolled on the ground.
Meng Siqi completely lost her direction and rolled on the ground. She seemed to feel that Lu He was hit hard by something, as if the bullet hit him.
"Bang! Bang!" Gunshots rang out continuously, and huge splashes of water appeared on the ground!
Lu He seemed to have gone mad. He wrapped her up with his body and rolled to the corner of the wall.
Meng Siqi turned around dizzy, his limbs rubbing against the ground and hurting, but fortunately he held his head tightly.
The world is finally quiet.
She knew the murderer had appeared, she knew the murderer was nearby, she trembled and crawled out of Lu He's arms, trying to get up and chase the murderer.
"Siqi, stop!" Lu He seemed to be ordering her, but his tone was trembling slightly.
"Lu He, this is the only chance, I have to catch him."
Meng Siqi seemed to be crazy, and Zhao Yuting's appearance once again rushed into her mind like blood.
She got up and was hugged by Lu He's thighs again. He shouted, "He has a gun, calm down!"
Meng Siqi was tied up by Lu He's thighs. She knelt on the ground and kicked twice, trying to kick him away, screaming, "Fuck him! I'm going to kill him!"
"Did you hear me? I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him..." Her tearing screams pierced through the rainy night...
Lu He held her tightly, and she was finally exhausted. Her roar turned into crying, and she lay on the ground and cried loudly, and the rain drowned her heavily!
After crying for a while, she suddenly thought that Lu He might have been shot. She moved and found Lu He lying on the ground, looking at her with his head tilted. Rain was flowing around his mouth, and the corners of his mouth moved, as if he had no strength.
"Lu He, Lu He?" Meng Siqi crawled over and lay in front of him, "Are you okay? Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Lu He's lips trembled slightly. "My arm was slightly injured. I might have bled a little."
"It's all my fault. It's all my fault." Meng Siqi blamed himself.
"I'm really fine." Lu He bent one arm and tried to get up, "Let's go back and see Yu Ting."
"Okay." Meng Siqi didn't dare to touch his arm. He lifted his back. Lu He slowly climbed up with one hand on the ground.
She held his other arm and helped him walk back to the billiard hall, but Lu He held her instead. When they reached the lobby of the billiard hall, with some light, she realized that Lu He's clothes were all worn out, and his right arm was covered in mud and blood, dripping down with the rain.
She looked particularly distressed, "Wait a minute, let me find some medicine!" She hurried to the front counter to look for some medicine or something. The search was fruitless, but she did find a piece of red cloth. Without saying a word, she used the red cloth to tie up Lu He's arm that was shot and bleeding.
"It's just a minor injury." Lu He's lips turned pale. "Wait for the ambulance, just bandage it up."
Meng Siqi felt particularly uncomfortable and didn't know what to say. When she walked into the billiard room, she found Zhao Leiting lying on his side under Zhao Yuting's billiard table, sobbing and trembling.
This scene made her extremely sad, and her tears rolled down again. She walked over slowly and tried to help Zhao Leiting up.
She glanced at Zhao Yuting again; her face was calm and peaceful, like a sleeping baby.
She couldn't even imagine that a living being could be destroyed in this way!
The murderer was probably in the process of committing the crime of suffocating the victim with a wet cloth when someone broke in and temporarily took away the wet cloth.
Meng Siqi suddenly felt something was wrong. If the murderer had taken away the wet cloth temporarily, then perhaps Yuting might still be alive, because it might take some time for the wet cloth to suffocate a person to death.
She leaned over and carefully examined Zhao Yuting's face under the light. She might have been in a drug-induced coma, or her nails might have been pulled out, but she certainly would not have covered her mouth and nose for too long.
Even though she had felt Yuting's carotid artery before and determined whether she was alive or dead, she still didn't believe it. She stretched out her right hand with a slight tremor, trying to feel her breath again, but there was no breath. She then felt her pulse at her wrist and chest, but the rise and fall of Yuting's chest was completely still.
She is dead.
But Meng Siqi didn't believe that she was dead.
Meng Siqi swallowed deeply, and a bitter taste went into her stomach, making her want to vomit. The bitterness and pain were beyond words, and tears suddenly rolled down the corners of her eyes.
Suddenly, she noticed that Zhao Yuting's eyelids twitched, a very slight twitch.
At that moment, Meng Siqi felt like he was reborn, and his blood was boiling.
"Lu He, Zhao Leiting." Her voice was trembling. "Yu Ting, there is hope!"
She desperately climbed onto the billiard table. Yuting must be saved. She was convinced, she was convinced... She didn't believe that the beating was an illusion...
Meng Siqi knelt on the billiard table and immediately began to perform CPR. As a criminal police officer, she had learned artificial respiration but had never actually practiced it. This time, she had to save Zhao Yuting no matter what.
She had to stay calm and not panic. She used her arms to immediately perform chest compressions on Zhao Yuting...
Zhao Leiting, who was lying on the ground, stopped crying almost instantly and quickly got up. Lu He ran over and said excitedly: "Siqi, there must be hope."
Meng Siqi performed thirty chest compressions in the most standard posture, then leaned over, pinched her nostrils with one hand in a standard posture, and held her chin with the other hand, causing her head to tilt back.
She took a deep breath, gave two rescue breaths, and then performed thirty chest compressions.
This cycle was repeated five times. She followed the procedure to check Yuting's breathing and heartbeat. No, no heartbeat.
Meng Siqi did it five times again, but there was still no heartbeat.
Meng Siqi performed seven or eight sets of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, each set consisting of five cycles, but Yuting still had no response.
Lu He felt particularly distressed when he saw this, because not only was Meng Siqi's entire body wet, but beads of sweat were also dripping down from his head.
His arm was injured and it was piercingly painful, but he had no problem doing artificial respiration. He advised, "Siqi, let me take over. You take a rest."
Zhao Leiting also said hurriedly: "Siqi, it's my turn." He lay tightly on the table, his whole body was shaking, and he was unable to perform artificial respiration.
"Don't try to persuade me, I can do it, I can do it..." Meng Siqi gritted his teeth, his eyes were so red that it made people feel heartbroken.
Lu He knew Meng Siqi's character. She would definitely not ask anyone else to do it at this time. She was the kind of person who would not turn back until she hit the wall.
After doing a few more sets, Lu He seemed to realize that Yu Ting might be hopeless, but Meng Siqi just didn't want to let go.
Meng Siqi is sometimes very stubborn. He understands her, but it is precisely because he understands her that he always believes in his heart that a miracle will happen.
After doing a few more sets, Lu He could clearly feel that Meng Siqi was exhausted, so she just forced herself to do CPR.
He wanted to persuade her to take a break, but then decided not to. He had no choice but to step back, take out his walkie-talkie and call a team member to rush for an ambulance. It was raining heavily, and there was no telling when the ambulance would arrive.
After returning to the pool table, Meng Siqi finally stopped after she finished playing. She paused for a moment, as if taking a short break. This scene made Lu He feel very uncomfortable. Meng Siqi's tired and pale face showed the sadness of having no hope in life, but also the stubbornness of never giving up. Perhaps as long as no one stopped her, she would never give up.
It should be the end of a new set. Meng Siqi's movements became very slow. She supported her body with one palm on the billiard table. Her body was shaking, and she touched Yuting's carotid artery with one hand.
Lu He noticed that her eyes had changed this time. Meng Siqi felt Yu Ting's breath again, and at that moment, she burst into tears, sobbing with her whole body shaking like never before.
Lu He stretched out his hand to Zhao Yuting's nose and felt it. Yuting seemed to be breathing, but it was very weak. Yuting was alive.
"Yu Ting is alive." Lu He's voice was blurred with tears. He stretched out an arm, wrapped it around Meng Siqi, and lifted her up from the billiard table.
Meng Siqi lay in his arms and cried, which made him feel even more uncomfortable. He sat on the billiard table next to him, hugged Meng Siqi tightly, and let her release her pain.
Zhao Leiting was lying on the pool table. He checked her breathing and carotid artery, then suddenly stepped back and fell to his knees. He burst into tears, and for a moment it sounded like a ghost howling: "Mother - Mother - sister is fine, sister is fine, mother -"
"Hahahaha..." He cried and laughed for a while, and his state was a little crazy. But soon he seemed to realize something, controlled his crying, and lay down next to Zhao Yuting again, stroking her messy hair, and kept stammering and choking, "Sister, it will be fine soon, it's okay, sister Siqi and brother are here, it will be fine soon..."
Lu He held the person tightly in his arms. He thought that he must protect her for the rest of his life, because this person had already deeply rooted in his heart.
After a while, several members of a team came over. Cai Shuangxi and Liang Yunfeng arrived first, and then Luo Xiaoguo and the other three also arrived. Meng Siqi was left with only a slight sob. She felt much relieved and quickly let Lu He let her go.
Lu He slowly let go of her and sat her down on the billiard table, so as not to disturb Zhao Yuting, and called them to the front hall.
A few minutes later, the ambulance finally arrived. Several angels in white rushed in. Luo Xiaoguo, Liang Yunfeng and Zhao Leiting helped carry Zhao Yuting into the ambulance.
Lu He's arm was injured and he also needed to go to the hospital for bandage, but there was not much space in the ambulance, so Lu He followed Lin Tao's police car to the hospital. Luo Xiaoguo and others cordoned off the scene. Meng Siqi was worried about the accident, so he and Zhao Leiting followed the ambulance.
While driving, Lin Tao suddenly noticed Lu He lying in the passenger seat with his eyelids slightly closed, his face pale, his lips trembling, and he seemed to be cold. He hurriedly asked, "Captain Lu, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Lu He said softly.
Obviously he was in trouble and had lost a lot of blood, but he pretended to be fine in the billiard hall just now. Lin Tao said distressedly: "Then let's go to the hospital quickly."
He stepped on the accelerator, and Lu He said weakly, "Lin Tao, don't overtake the ambulance, follow it. When we get to the hospital, I'll go find the doctor, you go stay with them, don't tell her, she can't be distracted right now."
Lin Tao understood who “she” was. He knew that Captain Lu didn’t want Meng Siqi to worry at all. He nodded heavily, “Captain Lu, I’ll remember that.”
