Horror File: Desperate Plastic Surgeon

Chapter 18 Serial Killing (1)
When I came to the Lixiang City Public Security Bureau, the meeting room seemed to be "boiling".I only heard the uproar in the meeting room for a while, and the silence for a while, the atmosphere was very strange.I knew Director Zou Lin was lecturing, and just as I was about to go in and listen in, Little Bear came out of the conference room in a desperate manner.When he saw me, he curled his lips and said, "The director is angry." I was startled, and I couldn't believe it.The bureau chief seldom gets angry. He is notoriously short-tempered in the bureau. He actually lost his temper this time?I listened carefully, and there was only one voice left in the meeting room, and that was the director's voice.I couldn't hear it very clearly, but the director was indeed very angry, and almost blew up the entire Public Security Bureau.

"What's going on?" I asked the little bear in a low voice.

Little Xiong spat: "It's not the damn media, they put a lot of pressure on the city leaders, and the leaders will vent their anger on the people below when they are under pressure. The director seems to have been scolded bloody, otherwise he wouldn't Call us incompetent."

"Incompetent?" I thought this statement was ridiculous, and Little Bear seemed to see that I didn't know it, so he got into the meeting room and took out a copy of the city's morning newspaper for me to read.The headline of the morning newspaper revealed the secrets of the suicides of Lin Diandian, Bei Yan, and Nong Bintai. It concluded that the criminal investigation team was very incompetent, and even said that the murderer would continue to kill people. The safety of the citizens could not be guaranteed.

"The murderer is about to kill 12 people in a row, please be careful." When I saw this sentence, I glanced at Xiao Xiong, who said angrily, "I don't know if their editor-in-chief is crazy enough to arrange such a headline. Lin Diandian’s report on their deaths is obviously suicide, but this article claims that they were murdered, and that the murderer will continue to kill until 12 people are killed. Isn’t this appalling? Doesn’t this make the general public uneasy and dissatisfied? It’s okay to say these things, but he dared to slander us openly. Captain Hu, don’t you think this is ridiculous? This brain-dead editor-in-chief is fucking nonsense.”

The more the little bear talked, the more angry he became, but I remained silent.After I read it, I found that the main idea of ​​the article was indeed similar to what Xiaoxiong said.The author is a person named Lu Shaokang, and the current media likes to sensationalize the public. Is what Lu Shaokang wrote really completely nonsense?I dare not say this.Or is this just his guess?Then how did he know that the murderer was going to kill twelve people in a row?

I asked Little Bear, "Have you checked Lu Shaokang?"

"I sent someone and haven't come back yet. Lu Shaokang is the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief of the Morning Post." Xiaoxiong replied.

"I hope nothing happens to him." I felt a little uneasy, and wanted to go to the morning newspaper office, but Little Bear said: "The director has called you several times, you should go and comfort the director! He is like a man who can only curse people now." madman."

I can understand the meaning behind this article in the Morning Post. No matter if it is the leaders of the city or the bureau, they cannot bear the pressure that comes with this kind of article.The morning paper had a great influence in Lixiang City. As soon as this article came out, the discussions in the streets and alleys were already in full swing.I walked into the meeting room with my head down, and the speaker was no longer the director, but Ke Xiaoxia.She was analyzing the case in great spirits, and while looking at the case information on the PPT screen, she was talking about the case.But whatever she says, I don't care too much.When the director saw me, he waved to me, and I walked up to him, and his anger seemed not as strong as before.

The director said to me earnestly: "The case must be solved quickly! Although the deceased said that he committed suicide, everyone knew that this was not a simple suicide, but a long-planned murder. No one should be killed anymore. "I can understand the director's mood, but the murderer has carefully designed and prepared everything, and he seems to have done everything seamlessly, but we still don't know where to start to investigate.

If the murderer really wanted to kill twelve people, the killing would still continue.We can't find any clues about these twelve people at all. The dead seem to have no connection at all, but death has tied their lives together.Facing such a bureau chief, I have almost nothing to say.It seems difficult to stop dead people. If you think about the worst, twelve people may have died.Lin Diandian, Bei Yan, Nong Bintai and his wife, as well as Shen Xianyi, who died in the Millennium Square, are already five people. They all committed suicide, and their faces have been transformed.

The director looked at me: "Do you have any problems?"

"Give me a little more time," I whispered.

"Work hard! Everyone is up to you. The leaders of the city attach great importance to this case. If it doesn't go well, everyone will be very sad. Hu, you always handle cases quickly, why did you get stuck this time? Who is the murderer? ? Do you have a bottom line in your heart?" the director asked tentatively.In fact, I don't know what happened to me. To be honest, I haven't figured out the details of the murderer until now, and I can't even catch his shadow.It is always very difficult to solve the case of planned crime, not to mention that the murderer seems to have deliberately put me on stage this time.When solving crimes before, I was usually able to find the murderer immediately, but this time I really met my opponent.

This case made me feel very difficult. From Lin Diandian's death, we clearly knew that the murderer would continue to kill others, but we couldn't stop it at all.I didn't answer the director's words, I really need a little more time.Ke Xiaoxia is still urging everyone to solve the case, she is really working hard.I said to the director, "Can you leave me alone for a while?"

The director didn't say anything, I turned around and left the conference room.This kind of meeting is the most annoying. It's just a show, and it has no effect on the progress of the case.I feel very headache. It is really impossible not to push myself to solve a case.I walked outside Bai Anle's office and knocked on the door, but no one responded, it seemed that he wasn't there.I looked at the morning paper that Xiaoxiong gave me, and my intuition told me that there must be something wrong with Lu Shaokang, the editor-in-chief of the morning paper.He seems to know the development of the whole case, and he also knows the number "12". Does he know who the murderer is?Or is he the murderer?Publish the case in the newspaper where you work to demonstrate to us?Thinking of this, I hurriedly left Bai Anle's office and drove to the office of "Lixiang Morning Post" on Wenhua Road.

The morning newspaper office is in a community, and all the staff members of this newspaper seem to live here.I think Lu Shaokang should also live here. After all, he is the editor-in-chief, and he is very busy with work on weekdays.I drove slowly into the community, only to find that it was already in a mess.There were many people gathered in front of the newspaper building, some were shouting, some were crying, and many more were chirping.When I found that there were people from the Criminal Investigation Brigade among them, I couldn't help being stunned, and at the same time I was shocked: "Did something happen to Lu Shaokang?"

After I parked the car, I ran to the building immediately, and the people from the criminal investigation team gave way after seeing me.It seems that something happened, they didn't report the situation to the bureau?I followed a teammate to an editing room on the fifth floor. Lu Shaokang was lying on a chair. He was dead and his face was made into a mouse.

Lu Shaokang's face is a bit pointed and his ears are quite big, but he is very thin and his eyes are also small. If he draws a few long whiskers on both sides of his cheeks, he looks like a mouse.

"It's actually dead." It was like a bomb exploded in my mind.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Lu Shaokang was murdered. There was a wound on his chest, and the blood seemed to have drained.The floor was in a mess, full of newspapers that had fallen from the desk. The newspapers covered the floor with bloodstains, and the smell of blood lingered in the editing room for a long time.I took a deep breath and cursed in my heart: "This time, it can't be considered suicide, right?"

His face didn't seem to have undergone much plastic surgery, and he simply drew a few long whiskers with a black pen.The scene was a mess, and the murder weapon was never found.Teammate Xiao Xu came to report to me that due to Lu Shaokang's revelation, the case of Lin Diandian and others caused a lot of controversy in the society after the Morning News came out.The director sent a few of them to ask Lu Shaokang for clarification. Unexpectedly, the door of Lu Shaokang’s editorial room could not be opened. When the person they contacted the morning newspaper knocked open the door of the editorial room, Lu Shaokang had been dead for a long time.

Xiao Xu's opinion is that Lu Shaokang was killed last night.He learned from the editor of the morning paper that Lu Shaokang locked himself in this editing room yesterday and asked no one to disturb him.Many people don't understand why he ran from the editor's office to the editor's office and didn't let others get close. He seemed to be hiding something deliberately.Could it be that Lu Shaokang knew the murderer very well?Or was Lu Shaokang trying to avoid the murderer?In a closed editing room, who killed Lu Shaokang?Did he commit suicide too?My thinking became clueless, Lu Shaokang was already the sixth person, and the murderer still did not leave any traces.

Judging by Lu Shaokang's appearance, he has been dead for a long time.I suddenly understood why he published that manuscript. He wanted to give a hint to the rest of the people, so he wrote such a manuscript with his last breath, and he himself was one of the twelve people.

I walked out of the editorial room and asked someone to bring this morning's morning paper, and re-read the manuscript left by Lu Shaokang, hoping to find some clues from it.Lu Shaokang is a media person, and he knew about the deaths of Lin Diandian and Bei Yan earlier; he is also a smart person, and he should also know Lin Diandian and them.When he found out that Lin Diandian and others were killed, he expected that he would also be killed, so he wrote this horrific manuscript, just to remind the six people who hadn't been killed yet to be careful of the murderer.

I can be sure that Lu Shaokang knew the murderer.I thought he would leave clues in the article, but what is annoying is that I read it several times, but I didn't find any valuable clues from the article. The number "12" caught my attention the most.Did the dead know the killer?This question has been circling in my mind.If the dead knew the murderer, why didn't they leave the murderer's name and only the number "12"?I was a little confused, and even thought, since Lu Shaokang's article has been published, will the remaining six people who have not been killed read this article?Did they know they were about to be killed?Will they reach out to us?
As I was thinking, I walked down the stairs of the newspaper building, just in time to bump into Bai Anle who was going up.

"Old Bai, you're here." I greeted Bai Anle.

"Captain Hu, why are you so fast?" Bai Anle looked surprised when she saw me. It seems that the bureau received the news of Lu Shaokang's murder after I left.I smiled: "I came here by myself to check on Lu Shaokang. Unfortunately, he died. This time it's different from Lin Diandian and the others. Lu Shaokang seems to have been killed." Bai Anle touched his cheek, Lost in deep thought, he said after a while: "In this case, the case seems to have become more complicated. It's cloudy. Captain Hu, you have to be careful."

I nodded and said, "Has the unknown drug that killed Lin Diandian been tested? Is there any new discovery in Bei Yan's house? Was there anything unusual about Nong Bintai and his wife before they died? Shen Xianyi who drowned in the fountain in Millennium Square , Do you have any new discoveries?" I asked all my questions in one breath, and Bai Anle was my last trump card.

Unexpectedly, Bai Anle shook his head and said: "I dare not test the medicine that killed Lin Diandian, I'm afraid it will be gone. Bei Yan's death caused a great sensation among her fans, and her relationship is very complicated. Check it out." I don't care about her. You have to find Ke Xiaoxia. As for Nong Bintai and his wife, they died by self-immolation, and nothing suspicious was found in their home. Shen Xianyi drowned in Millennium Square, his death is related to Lin Diandian There are similarities, that is, before death, they swallowed that mysterious drug similar to sleeping pills. After my initial deduction, this drug has hallucinogenic effects, and people who take it will have very strange hallucinations. Shen Xianyi obviously fell after having hallucinations. Drowned in the fountain pool of Millennium Square. As for plastic surgery, the faces of Nong Bintai and his wife are indeed a bit different. Their faces are not so delicate, and some parts and knife techniques are not accurate at all. The murderer this time It's weird that it's off-standard. I'm sorry, but I don't seem to find anything in our favor."

"It's okay, just do your best." Bai Anle's analysis and explanation were very clear. The murderer was the same person, so there was no need to prove it.Although he didn't find anything in our favor, I couldn't make things difficult for him.

"Did Lu Shaokang be killed? I'm curious, the murderer caused so many suicides, how could Lu Shaokang be an exception?" Bai Anle was very interested in Lu Shaokang who died upstairs.

"I don't know either. Although it looks like he was murdered, you still have to check it yourself, Bai." After I finished speaking, I went downstairs.I walked out of the community and returned to my car. Just as I was about to start the car, Ke Xiaoxia suddenly appeared in front of the car and waved to me with a smile. I opened the car door and let her sit in.

"Telling what happened last night will scare you to death." Ke Xiaoxia said while taking out the pink leather bag hanging around her waist, and took out a document from the bag to show me.I was very curious about what happened last night, and after reading the information she gave, I was really shocked.It turned out that not only Lu Shaokang died last night, but also a man named Luo Jiaran.

Luo Jiaran is a middle school Chinese teacher who teaches at No.12 Middle School in Lixiang City.Last night, he crashed head-on into a Dongfeng truck at the intersection in front of No.12 Middle School, and his whole body except his head was crushed into a bloody pulp.According to the driver's statement and the footage captured by the intersection monitor, Luo Jiaran ran out by himself to seek death.Obviously, at the same time that Lu Shaokang was killed, Luo Jiaran committed suicide.

Luo Jiaran's face was turned into a chicken face, and the murderer killed another person.There was a chill in my heart, what was the reason for the murderer to kill one person after another so numbly?This is already the seventh person.I looked at Ke Xiaoxia, who smiled at me and said, "Don't look at me, I want to catch this damned murderer too."

"Bastard!" I slapped the steering wheel of the car hard.This is the first time I have encountered such a troublesome case. When I first saw Lin Diandian's body, I never thought that the matter would develop to such a point.I thought I could find out the murderer with a little research on Lin's connections, but I didn't expect that there was no relationship between the victims. Was the murderer killing people aimlessly and indiscriminately?Thinking about it, I feel impossible. How could such a well-planned murder have no purpose?So why did the murderer force these irrelevant people to commit suicide?After the morning paper made this case a big deal, I felt a lot of pressure and was very disturbed.It seems that the murderer is not a human being, but a ghost or an evildoer.As soon as the morning paper published the report on the murder case, Lu Shaokang and Luo Jiaran were killed. He really knows how to find time to commit crimes.

"Is it annoying?" Ke Xiaoxia took out a lollipop from her bag and asked me while tearing off the wrapping paper.

"Why do I feel that the murderer is among us? You, Lao Bai, Xiao Xiong, and many people around me, why do I feel that you are all criminal suspects?" As soon as I finished speaking, Ke Xiaoxia slapped the torn candy wrapper hard. He stuck it to my face fiercely, and punched me in the chest again: "You actually doubt me? Let me tell you, I'm sick of myself. If I'm really a murderer, you will be the first one I want to kill. "

"Okay, I know it's not you, you don't know the art of plastic surgery at all." I reached out and took off the candy wrapper from my face, crumpled it up and threw it away.
