Chapter 1 Marionette (1)

It was noon, and there were no lights in the long corridor, and the few windows were blocked by wooden boards.

The hostess holding the microphone could only slow down, carefully crossing obstacles one by one, raising her hands to cover her mouth and nose from time to time to block the disgusting smell.The cameraman following her was not walking smoothly, and the images in the lens shook uncontrollably.

"Who are the people living here?" After passing through the most difficult section, the hostess panted heavily, but the air mixed with decay and stench forced her to hold her breath again.

"Drunkards, scavengers, homeless... and others, anyway, it's not like the place where the director said there would be the kind of people we're looking for." The cameraman said in a muffled voice, rubbing hard on the ground The rustling sound from the soles of the shoes was extremely harsh in the empty corridor, "I just stepped on a pile of vomit and a pile of feces. These people are so immoral, they use the corridor as a toilet."

"Don't disgust me." The hostess retched a few times and said, "Is this here?" She looked down at the cue card in her hand, then at the house number, and couldn't help but type With a cold war, his eyes quickly glanced at the darkness at the end of the corridor.

"What's wrong?" the cameraman asked.

"No, nothing." The hostess hesitated and said, "Just now, there seemed to be someone over there, did you see that?"

"Is there someone?" The camera quickly focused on the end of the corridor, and in the darkness, a pair of cold eyes flashed away.

"Which nail household, it seems that they regard us as a demolition team." The cameraman smiled, "Knock on the door, and finish recording this house quickly. I don't like this place."

"Okay." The hostess adjusted her expression, raised her hand and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, there was no response.She raised her hand again, and before her hand landed on the door, the door opened, and inside the door was a woman.

Seeing this woman, the cameraman and hostess couldn't help screaming.The woman has green hair, pale skin, purple eye shadow and bright lipstick, the lipstick is applied very strangely, and the sides have extended to the back of the ear, as if the whole mouth has been torn open and cracked to the side of the ear .

The exaggerated smile makes it impossible to tell what kind of expression she is at the moment.

This image is exactly the same as the Joker in "Batman".

The hostess seemed to remember something, and kept stroking her chest.

"It scared me to death. I thought we'd have to wait until we got there to start preparing. It turns out that you've already prepared." The hostess said, motioning the cameraman to take a close-up of the woman.

The woman's face was covered with fishing lines, and her limbs were also entangled with fishing lines. Along those fishing lines, there was a ceiling cut out of dense and complicated tracks.Although the situation inside the ceiling could not be seen, but from the slight humming, it could still be judged that there was a machine hidden there, and that machine made the fishing line on the woman's body expand and contract correspondingly with her movements.

"What is this?" the cameraman couldn't help asking.

"Everyone." The hostess did not answer his words. She cleared her throat and began to understand the speech, "This is the dream reality show team. A few days ago, we received a recommendation from the audience, saying that they would bring you a A puppet show like no other. We're in this audience's home right now."

"To be honest, I was really shocked." The hostess paused, "I never expected that this enthusiastic audience would treat himself as a puppet. Excuse me, can we go in?"

The hostess asked the woman.

The woman didn't answer, but turned sideways, let the door open, and made a "come in" gesture.

The hostess and cameraman walked into the room, and the scene in the room surprised them again.

There were two men, one big and one small, sitting on the sofa in the living room.Like the woman who opened the door, they were also dressed as clowns, with fishing lines all over their bodies.

As the hostess entered, there was another buzzing sound from the ceiling above her head. Along with this sound, the two men on the sofa raised their hands and waved, with an unnatural smile on their lips.

"What we see now is Mr. Huang's family. It can be seen that Mr. Huang is very well prepared for this matter. I was at the scene, but I didn't see any flaws. It seems that their family of three was manipulated by the string Performed for us." The hostess said, "Mr. Huang, can you tell us where you got your inspiration from?"

The hostess handed the microphone in front of the older man, and to her surprise, the person called "Mr. Huang" didn't respond at all.

"Do you feel something is wrong?" the cameraman suddenly said tremblingly.

"What's wrong?" the hostess asked puzzled.

"They don't seem to be breathing."

In order to verify the authenticity, the hostess tentatively reached out and put her hand on Mr. Huang's nose, her face paled instantly.She swallowed hard, stretched out her hand to caress Mr. Huang's face, and then it bounced away like an electric shock.

His face was cold and stiff.

"They are dead!" the hostess said dully.

On November 2014, 11, a light snowstorm hit City A, and the white snowflakes fluttered away, dispelling the smog that had enveloped the city for several days, and the air was exceptionally fresh, but bitter.

However, this snow failed to wash away the evils in the world, and a horrific murder took place in full view.After the murderer brutally murdered a family of three in a tube building to be demolished, he made the three victims into dolls and invited the dream reality show program team of City A TV station to record.The two reporters immediately called the police after discovering the abnormality.The police quickly sealed off the scene to stop the leakage of information.

A preliminary autopsy showed that the victim had been dead for more than 15 days.The cause of death was excessive blood loss from a ruptured artery.

Three days later, the case was reported to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and the director assigned Tang He to help Du Li and Qin Ling to solve the case.

On November 2014, 11, Capital International Airport.

An international flight came to a slow stop on the runway, the hatch opened, and a thin man walked out first.He is about 1 meters, but he is skinny, and he will not exceed 75 kilograms by visual estimation.His sharp-edged face was abnormally pale, but the smile at the corner of his mouth told those who knew him that I was fine, better than ever.

He straightened his somewhat messy hair by the reflection of the glass, stood by the cabin door and looked around, the smile on his face became more obvious.Raising his hand, he took off the sunglasses on his face, walked quickly down the gangway, and walked towards Tang Hegong, Du Li and Qin Ling who were not far away.From a distance, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of hugging.

Behind him, a fair-skinned girl with a ponytail in a tracksuit who looked only 24 or [-] years old was taken aback when she saw this scene, and then followed him silently with her luggage.

"Hey, boss, don't be impulsive." Seeing Tang Hegong take off his windbreaker with a smirk and move his wrists, the man raised his hands and shouted, "If you want me to withdraw from this operation because of a work-related injury, then you can bring it on."

Tang Hegong retracted his raised fist unwillingly, and snorted heavily.

Du Li and Qin Ling walked up to the man with smiles, "Welcome home, Zheng Yan!" they said.However, the next moment, Qin Ling saw Zheng Yan's face contorted, gasping for cold air hissingly, his whole body stiffened and motionless.

She looked at him curiously, then took another look at Du Li, and was surprised to find that Du Li's hand was pinching Zheng Yan's waist, writhing quietly.

"Welcome home, Zheng Yan!" Du Li repeated this sentence, but every word was squeezed out between her teeth.

Zheng Yan, once the best criminal profiler of Team Z, did not return to the team after successfully killing the most notorious serial killer "Chef" in history a year ago, but disappeared from people's sight.

The entire Criminal Investigation Bureau was terrified of him for a whole month, and Team Z was disbanded again because of this.For some special reasons, they worried that Zheng Yan might become the next serial killer.But a month later, they received a call from the other side of the ocean. Zheng Yan actually went to the United States, claiming to accept the professor's one-year treatment.During this period, no one is allowed to visit, not even Du Li, who is Zheng Yan's attending doctor.This made Du Li always hold back a fire.

Du Li even felt that he was using an excuse to accompany his little girlfriend, Mu Xue, who was studying by the professor's side.

Perhaps out of guilt towards Du Li, Zheng Yan didn't resist, but Mu Xue who was following him didn't think so.

"Who is she?" Mu Xue stepped forward and asked Zheng Yan, looking at Du Li with hostility.

"Let me introduce, Du Li, a researcher at the Criminal Psychology Research Center and my attending doctor. She used to be your teacher." Zheng Yan took Du Li into his arms indifferently and said to Mu Xue.This action made Du Li's face flush instantly.

"Ah——" Mu Xue screamed at first, as if remembering something, and then stretched out her hand generously, "Teacher, hello, I am Mu Xue, Zheng Yan's lover. I am also a criminal profiler, and Zheng Yan Like Yan, a student of the professor. This year, the professor and I implemented the treatment of Zheng Yan. This time I come back, I hope to join the Z team and fight side by side with Zheng Yan."

"Hello!" Du Li broke away from Zheng Yan's hand, and from Mu Xue's eyes, she read the alert and the flames of war.

"Qin Ling, forensic doctor." Qin Ling stepped forward and extended her hand to Mu Xue, "That's my teacher, Tang Hegong, the former leader of the Z team." Qin Ling pointed to Tang Hegong and said, "But I want to join Z I'm afraid the team is in some trouble, and now, the establishment of the Z team is no longer there."

"I'm back, and Team Z is back." Zheng Yan said solemnly, and put on a funny smile again, "The boss is also called Tang Laoya, the crow of the crow."

"Okay, it's not the time to be enthusiastic." Tang Hegong said seriously.

"Of course not." Zheng Yan smiled, "If you were not in a hurry to get out on a mission, you lazy old guy wouldn't come to pick me up on the tarmac. Tell me, what case is it?"

Tang Hegong took out a CD from his bag and threw it to Zheng Yan, "Three days ago, in City A, I watched it on the plane." After speaking, he turned and walked to another passage.

"What do you think of him?" Tang Hegong asked Du Li after he glanced at Zheng Yan who was watching the computer with Mu Xue not far away in the VIP waiting room.

"I'm in a good state, I talk too much, and I can joke. I don't think I need to follow you anymore." Du Li looked at Zheng Yan with an unclear but obviously bitter smile.

"You really think so?" Tang He Gong looked at Du Li in surprise, "It's not like you, you never make judgments so arbitrarily."

"Then what else do you want from me?" Du Li was still laughing, but her tone was involuntarily cold, "There is a professor treating him and Mu Xue accompanying him. I am completely unnecessary here, and the police force is not such a waste of."

"Doctor Du, that's not what he said." Tang Hegong pinched his nose, "I always feel that he is not normal, he is completely different."

"Sister Lili, I also think something is wrong with Brother Zheng." Qin Ling glanced at Zheng Yan and said, "How could he be with Mu Xue? Even if he is looking for someone, he should be like you."

"Don't talk nonsense." Du Li put on a straight face, "It's impossible for me to talk to him."

"Both of you, have you lost your way?" Tang Hegong shook his head helplessly, "Doctor Du, even if Zheng Yan is fine, you can't leave."

"Why?" Du Li was puzzled.

"The director has a task for you." Tang Hegong said, "There are four eyes on the 6th, and the director decided to second you to come over and organize all the cases we have handled, analyze the causes of the cases in detail, and compile educational materials. It was your job."

"Okay." Du Li was stunned for a moment, and showed a wry smile.No one knew what kind of suffering it meant for her to accept this task.

"Hey, boss, this case is quite troublesome." On the other side, Zheng Yan has closed the computer, closed his eyes slightly, and gently rubbed his nose with his right hand, "At present, I can be sure that the murderer used people as marionettes. Not his main purpose, what he wanted was for the whole country to see his puppet. So there might not be a relationship between the murderer and the victim, he just happened to pick them. Any other clues?"

"Not yet." Tang Hegong shook his head, "After the two reporters called the police, the local police sealed off the scene and conducted investigations throughout the building, but found nothing. They currently control the person in charge of the demolition team. From a relationship point of view, he is the most likely to do such a thing, but the other party refuses to admit it."

"Moreover, the local police are facing a lot of pressure from public opinion. The Internet is now overwhelmingly hyping this incident, believing that the police deliberately covered up the murderer, assisting the demolition team to deal with unarmed people, and it is even possible that the police shot dead the victim after arriving at the scene. We strongly demand the release of the video. Information. But look, how dare you release this video? The local police hope that we can find evidence of the suspect’s crime from the video of the two reporters at that time, but the director thinks we should go and have a look.” Tang Hegong sighed ,Say.

"Even if it's announced, it's useless." Du Li smiled wryly, "If the conclusion we announce is different from what they expected, there will be various reasons to come to them, cut, forge, stage a photo, and intentionally create shocking news There are a lot of things like this to divert the public’s attention from the news.”

"I think, no matter when, this video cannot be released." Mu Xue said suddenly, "Just now Zheng Yan said that the murderer's purpose is not to kill people, but to let the people of the whole country see. If we release this video , that would have helped him a lot.”

Tang Hegong looked at Mu Xue and nodded, "I think so too. What do you think about this case?"

Mu Xue didn't speak, she knew that Tang Hegong was deliberately testing her ability.She glanced at Zheng Yan, saw him nodding, and then said: "The suspects under the control of the police are definitely not the ones we are looking for. It's just demolition. There is no need to make it so complicated. I think that as long as we solve a few problem, the case is closed.”

"Oh?" Tang Hegong asked with great interest, "Tell me, what are the questions?"

"First, what exactly does the murderer want to show to the national audience? I think it's not just a doll. In that case, you can go online. This question can help us pinpoint the scope of the suspect." Mu Xue smiled slightly , said affirmatively, "Second, the murderer was at the scene when this video was shot. I don't know if you have noticed that the eyes in the video, although indifferent, contain a certain kind of fanaticism, that It is the uncontrollable excitement when the goal is about to be achieved, the owner of those eyes is the person we are looking for. Unfortunately, because of the light, the video is not clear. As for the others, I haven’t been to the scene, so I can’t say anything.”

"Is she right?" Tang Hegong asked after looking at Zheng Yan, then at Du Li and Qin Ling.

Both Du Li and Qin Ling fell into some kind of contemplation, only Zheng Yan nodded with a smile, "In addition to these, let me add something to you. The month cannot be completed, what happened half a month ago?"

"Team Leader Tang, you are here." After getting off the plane, the person in charge of the local police greeted him, holding Tang Hegong's hand and shaking it non-stop.

Looking at this haggard man with a messy beard, Mu Xue was surprised to find that he was actually the top chief of the local police.One can imagine the pressure this case has caused on the local police.

"What to do with this case, I'll leave it to you. To tell you the truth, I don't have a clue now." The man said with a serious expression as soon as he got into the car.

"Go to see the corpse first, and then go to the scene. We already have the general idea." Tang He Gong also said in a deep voice.
