Chapter 173 Sophistry

Letting go of the young policeman's hand holding the gun, I stumbled backwards looking at the blood spreading on Zi Mao's chest.

"Gao Jian..." Zi Mao struggled to take a few steps forward. His legs weakened and his knees hit the ground hard.

Blood continued to flow from his mouth, and his voice could not be heard clearly. He could only see blood foam sticking to his lips, and his face was covered with bulging veins, like a beast in desperate situation.

"Bang!"

Zi Mao fell forward, and it took a long time before the security guards and policemen from the police station dared to approach.

"died?"

"Who did it?"

"It seems to be that person."

The crowd, including Huang Lan and Ye Bing, all gathered around. The police maintained order. I squatted beside the police car, thinking about how to deal with the upcoming interrogation.

Three people, Wang Erjun, Lu Tianxiao and Zi Mao, died. I was the only witness. Combining the various traces left at the scene, as well as the killing techniques and motives, I needed to compile a logical story in a very short period of time. Illusion.

About twenty minutes later, two more groups of police officers arrived. The first group was from the Criminal Investigation Section of the Municipal Branch led by Wu Meng, and the second group was professional forensic doctors and inspectors.

This murder occurred in the Jiangjia Villa area. More than five people were injured, and the impact was very bad.

The injured were sent to the hospital for treatment, and I and several other people involved were taken into a police car to cooperate with the police investigation.

Sitting in the police car, the young policeman was opposite me. His hands were still shaking, probably from the sequelae of the first time he shot and killed.

"Brother, calm down, you are a policeman." I wanted to light a cigarette, but was stopped by Wu Meng next to me.

The young policeman covered his forehead with his trembling hands. Only then did I notice that his face was pale and covered in sweat.

"Are you a veteran?" He held back his words for a long time before speaking to me.

"no."

"Then why did you shoot? In that situation, you only had a few tenths of a second to react."

"None of this is important. What's important is that I saved you. If I hadn't turned around, held your hand, aimed and fired, I'm afraid you would have been stabbed to death by that lunatic." My voice clearly reached everyone in the police car. In their ears, most of them fell silent after listening.

"Gao Jian, why did you appear in Jiang's villa area? Why did that madman chase you? How does this have anything to do with the deaths of Wang Erjun and Lu Tianxiao?" Wu Meng was confused. What happened to this murder? As a senior criminal police officer, there were too many things worthy of scrutiny. He thought for a long time and decided to directly question me as a witness.

I shook my head, knowing that talking too much will lead to mistakes, so I just said: "If you want to know the truth, then help me find three people."

"Which three?"

"Tie Ningxiang, Huang Boyuan, and his daughter Huang Lan."

…

When I arrived at the police station, I seemed extremely uncooperative when faced with the police's questioning. Wu Meng had no choice. It was not until 11 o'clock in the evening when the three people I was looking for all arrived that I began to tell them the story that I had completely made up. Beginning and end.

In the interrogation room, I sat on a cold iron chair, and four people stood across the table.

Huang Boyuan, Huang Lan, Tie Ningxiang and Wu Meng.

"Everyone is here, can you speak now?" Wu Meng opened the recorder with a look of helplessness and gestured towards the high-definition surveillance camera in the house.

I lit a cigarette and glanced at the people in front of me, finally settling on Huang Boyuan.

"You should all know that in order to make a living, I will accept some private commissions on weekdays. This matter must start with Director Huang of Qianding Pharmaceutical." I retained the specific commission tasks and just summarized the investigation process. The incident of accidentally discovering the Double-Faced Buddha came out.

Mentioning the Double-faced Buddha Tie Ningxiang is not unfamiliar. In the case of Anxin Hotel, there are traces of the strange Buddha head in many places.

"Because of Director Huang's entrustment, I came into contact with the Double-Faced Buddha. Later, as I continued to conduct in-depth investigations, I found that there was a clear division of labor in this well-organized criminal group. Every member of them is ruthless and will use any means to achieve their goals."

"The fugitive Lu Xing is a member of the Double-Faced Buddha organization, and today's lunatic is probably the same. If you search his body, you should find a Double-Faced Buddha head pendant, which is the symbol of their organization."

When I said this, Wu Meng waved to the door. After a while, a staff member sent over an inspection report.

"Yes, we did find a Buddha head pendant on this person." Wu Meng motioned for me to continue.

"Double-Faced Buddha has been looking for something, and that thing is in the hands of Director Huang. In order to get that thing, they even wrote threatening letters to Director Huang."

I looked at Huang Boyuan, he nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, I will always keep the letter. If you need it, you can use it as evidence."

"In the threatening letter, Double Faced Buddha threatened to kill Director Huang's relatives to force him to hand over his things. I thought of Lu Xing's cruel behavior and felt that the other party would probably keep his word, so I have been secretly paying attention to Director Huang's behavior. family."

"Director Huang has two daughters. The second daughter is in Jingying Nursing Home and should be safe under layers of protection, so I focused all my attention on Huang Lan."

"Wait a moment." Wu Meng tapped the tip of his pen: "The ones who were killed tonight were Wang Erjun and his mistress Lu Tianxiao, but why do you keep talking about the Huang family? And that madman seems to have known you before. According to According to the guests at the scene, the person he wants to kill most is you."

"Really?" I said calmly, without any fluctuations being heard: "There is a misunderstanding."

I took out my mobile phone and opened the video in front of the four of them. It was the scene where Wang Erjun and Lu Tianxiao were having fun.

"Say! What's your name?"

"My name is Lu Tianxiao."

"Now you don't call me by this name anymore, you call me Huang Lan!"

"Brother Jun, you hurt me."

"Tell me! What's your name!"

"Huang, Huang Lan"

"Louder! Say, what's your name?"

"My name is Huang Lan, I am Huang Lan!"

The video was filled with endless spring scenery, mixed with the excited and high-pitched shouts of a man and a woman. This brief scene made several people in the room feel uncomfortable.

"Why are you showing us this?" It was Huang Lan who spoke, and her tone was like the ice of the twelfth lunar month.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want you to see your partner clearly and see what a dirty heart is hidden under that human skin." I smiled faintly and put away my phone: "Huang Lan just returned to China. Not many people know the news, and even fewer people have seen her, so this lunatic may have mistakenly recognized the wrong person and mistakenly killed Lu Tianxiao as Huang Lan. As for Wang Erjun, it was probably just to silence her."

"It's a bit far-fetched. Even if it's what you said, it doesn't explain why that lunatic later only targeted you and hunted you down." Wu Meng has been looking for loopholes in my words.

"In this city, I am the person who knows the Double-Faced Buddha best. Maybe he killed me because I knew too much."

There was a knock on the door, and Zhao Bin sent two reports into the house: "Neither of them was rescued. This is the autopsy report."

Wu Meng flipped through a few pages and handed it to Tie Ningxiang: "The female deceased died of penetration by a sharp weapon, and the male deceased's cause of death is unknown."

When I learned that neither of them had been rescued, my last worry disappeared.

"Gao Jian, when did you enter the villa area?"

"Around nine-fifteen."

"Why do you have this video in your hand?"

"I was hanging around the villa area at first, but I found that Wang Erjun left in a hurry after the meeting with Huang Lan, which was very unusual, so I followed him. As for why such a video was recorded, is it okay for personal hobby?"

"How did that madman get into Wang Erjun's house? Can you still recall his detailed murder process?" Wu Meng put down the pen in his hand and looked at me, who looked calm and emotionless.

"The woman resisted before she died. She scratched the madman's face. You can extract the fleshy foam from her nails and compare it with the wounds on the madman's face. It should be completely consistent. As for Wang Erjun's death, I don't know. It’s clear, but please think back to Lu Xing’s methods and think about the weird things you encountered when the fog closed the mountains. I think the only person in Jiangcheng who has the ability to create such a weird way to die is the Double-faced Buddha." The death of a woman I didn't lie. Lu Tianxiao was indeed killed by Zimao, but I blamed the double-faced Buddha for Wang Erjun's death. It was half true and half false. Anyway, there was no proof of death and no one could refute it.
