Classic revival of infinite games

Chapter 73 5.1 No.3 Victim

That night, Lin Xiaomei was not idle either.

She searched the room for a sum of cash, went to buy a lot of phantom perfumes, and came back, trying them one by one until she became dizzy and fell asleep.

Before dawn, the two didn't have a long rest when they were awakened by the knock on the door in the early morning.

At the door was Detective Bob who hadn't had a good night's rest: "There's another homicide."

Really, one wave is not smooth, and another wave rises again.

The murder took place in a remote house.

This is a small two-storey building with a mountain of garbage behind it, and the place is very barren.

In the dimly lit living room, there was a big fat man lying upside down.

The fat man is about 1.9 meters tall, making Ye Man think of a sumo wrestler.

On the table was a half-eaten steak, almost uncooked, almost raw.The fat man's face was covered in sauce and blood.

The fat man fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, and his stomach was cut open.

"He was attacked from behind, and he was knocked out of the head directly." Lin Xiaomei said, "He himself was unconscious of what happened after that."

After hearing this, Ye Man decided to take another look around his room.

There is a study on the second floor.

There are some photos taken on the wall of the room, which are the terrified expressions of all kinds of people, covering the entire wall.

"Sheriff Bob, please come up here."

Bob came up and saw the wall with astonishment in his eyes.

"Are there any missing people in this town?"

"Yes... this is the little Peter who has been on the missing person notice for a long time, and the old lady who lives alone in the city center, these people..."

Ye Man sighed and shook his head at Bob, who suddenly understood what it meant.

They came to the basement and saw a wall full of tools - saws, chains, scissors...

"The deceased was a cannibal. A serial killer." Ye Man said, "Because the murderer in our case needs to face another murderer, he obviously has a lot of vigilance in his methods."

"Another killer..." Bob repeated tremblingly.

He didn't seem to have expected that the disappearance case he was trying his best to find, which he and his family had hoped for with luck, would end like this.

Ye Man didn't have time to consider Bob's pain, and directly gave the next order: "Please examine his body for forensic doctors, whether there is any trace similar to a needle tube."

Back at the office, Lin Xiaomei asked: "There have been three incidents, and we haven't grasped the rules yet, and we don't even know who the victim of the second incident is."

"The second victim." Ye Man drank black coffee to refresh himself, "It's the pink clown from before."

"Ah?" Lin Xiaomei said in surprise, "How do you know..."

"That's how I infer. One is the bloody stage, which requires a sacrificer. At that time, the performers and the audience agreed that it was a pink clown." Ye Man responded, "The second point is that he was choked on our perfume at the time. Tears were left, part of the makeup was washed out, and there was a red tear mole under the corner of his right eye, and beggars also have it."

Lin Xiaomei recalled that there was indeed a red mole of tears on the beggar's face. At that time, she thought it was a splash of blood, and she was still wondering why the blood hadn't oxidized and turned black for so long.

"So, that's not a beggar, but a pink clown in the circus." Lin Xiaomei concluded, "So the circus should be changing, right?"

"There should still be a pink clown." Ye Man took a bite of the bread and said, "It's just that under the cover of the pink clown, there is another person."

"We're going to the circus tonight, right?" Lin Xiaomei asked.

"Yes." Ye Man thought for a while, and said to Lin Xiaomei, "This visit should not be without danger. In other words, the risk factor may be very high."

"What? Is it more challenging than receiving a gold card to participate in the stage?" Lin Xiaomei was surprised, "I thought the silver card was just to visit and collect clues..."

"Xiaomei, go back and think about it. It is known that Mia and the circus are in the same group. Since Mia first reported the crime, what is their purpose?"

Lin Xiaomei started her memory.

Mia came to report to the police, saying that she suspected that her husband had cheated, and she suspected that a woman from the circus had seduced her husband.

The remains of Mia's husband were found, with traces of a large carnivorous bird, suspected of being a circus bird, and this was also confirmed on stage.

Then, they search Mia's house and get the gold card at Mia's house.

Then come to the circus, win the stage and get the silver card.

……

The circus has great powers, but they don't deliberately hide their behavior, and even show it to the two of them on purpose.

Its purpose is self-evident.

"Then shall we still go..." Lin Xiaomei was a little nervous, "This is not a sheep entering the tiger's mouth..."

"Unfortunately, we have to go." Ye Man spread his hands, "Because there must be the most critical clue hidden there."

Lin Xiaomei lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Ye Man smiled and said, "However, we don't need two people to go together. I can go alone."

"What?" Lin Xiaomei stood up abruptly, "That's not acceptable! What if you encounter danger by yourself?"

"In the circus, they are the ones who decide. Outside the circus, we and Bob have the advantage. Therefore, we can't both go in and be caught by them." Ye Man said while deliberating, "Outside, you can play better Advantage."

"But..." Lin Xiaomei was about to say something, when a small object was suddenly stuffed into her hand.

"Wireless headset, we can talk for 10 minutes. If there is danger, I will activate it, and you will receive the signal. If there is no speaking, there is no danger."

Lin Xiaomei looked at the small earphone in her hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "But if they attack from behind, you will lose consciousness in an instant."

Ye Man thought for a while and said: "The total power consumption of the call is 10 minutes. Then I will start it every 5 minutes, then cough at you, and then turn it off. In this way, when you hear the coughing sound, you will Explanation is fine."

This way of use can last a very long time, and even if Ye Man loses consciousness, the rescue time will not exceed 5 minutes.

Although Lin Xiaomei was a little worried about this, she couldn't find any problems for the time being, so she didn't have any more objections.

They rested for a while, and dusk fell.

Since the police station itself is not too far from the circus, Ye Man asked Lin Xiaomei to sit in the police station and wait for news.

"It's not easy to scare the snake." Ye Man said, "Your side is also absolutely safe."

Lin Xiaomei was wearing small earphones uneasily.Bob on the side fell asleep on the sofa.

"Ahem, I'm here." The earphones were connected suddenly, and an old voice came through, it was Mr. Yeager's voice.

"Welcome. Welcome." The joyful voice sounded like a clown, the same as the pink clown, sharp and thin.

Then, the headset was hung up.
