Chapter 32 Red, White and Blue in the Water Tower
This kind of old-fashioned water tower was very common in Nanjiang City in the past. It was used to store water and increase water pressure.
Most of them are cement cylinders, more than ten meters high, and look like a fortress; there are also some funnel-shaped ones, which look like torches and have a relatively high-tech feel.
With the development of the times, the situation where five or six floors cannot hold water has become a thing of the past, and this kind of old water tower has gradually been abandoned and demolished.
The water tower in front of us is much shorter than ordinary ones, only about seven or eight meters high. The appearance with a sense of age is cracked, mixed with mottled green moss, and ivy is wrapped around the rusty iron.
The stairs were already halfway up.
"Be careful. This staircase is in disrepair. I don't know if it can still be stepped on. Why don't you let me go up and have a look?"
As Li Yuan spoke, he couldn't help but take the lead. He had already seen some black blood stains at the bottom of the simple iron staircase.
Those little girls must have never come to inspect it. Otherwise, they would not be able to think of any scenario of falling into a water tower and being rescued. Although this water tower is short, it is eight meters high and is as high as a three-story building.
Once a person falls, he or she will die or become disabled.
It is not allowed for living people to go down there, but it is the most convenient place to bury the dead.
Shen Ke did not fight this time. On the contrary, she believed that the staircase, which was fixed to the wall of the water tower and made up of only a few simple steel bars, was very strong because someone had already tried it for the police in advance.
She raised her phone and looked up, only to see a thick hemp rope hanging from the top of the water tower.
"The murderer is provoking us unscrupulously," Shen Ke said with certainty.
Li Yuan paused, said nothing, and continued to climb towards the top of the water tower.
His speed was very fast, like a gecko swimming on a wall, and he quickly reached the top. The top of the water tower was open, and a thick hemp rope hung down. The smell of blood spread across the floor, and Li Yuan felt his blood surge.
Incomparable anger in my heart.
Some people are simply not worthy of being human.
Li Yuan thought and lifted the hemp rope with all his strength. Feeling the weight in his hand, his heart became heavier and heavier.
"Shen Ke, fortunately we haven't finished our meal tonight."
Li Yuan smiled weakly, and continued to mutter while holding the rope, "Although you have no expression, like a steel plate, but I have robot mind-reading skills, and I know that you are thinking that if your legs are long enough, I will kick you now."
Kick me down."
"You must throw the dog and eat shit, face down, so that the dog's mouth will be blocked by mud."
The rope had reached its end, and two red, white and blue woven bags were lifted up. Li Yuan placed the woven bags on the edge of the water tower and rubbed his arms.
"I admit that you do have the ability to read minds," Shen Ke said coldly.
Li Yuan, however, did not care to argue with Shen Ke. His face darkened and he quickly walked along the edge of the water tower towards the other side.
"Damn! What a pervert! There are cameras here!"
Shen Ke couldn't see Li Yuan's figure, but heard his voice coming from the top of the tower.
In the darkness, a red light flashed, like the eyes of an evil ghost.
Li Yuan grabbed hard...
At the same time, in front of the computer, a man wearing a blue hood looked at the picture that started to shake, and raised the corner of his mouth. He clicked his tongue a few times, and saw that the picture had stabilized again. Li Yuan suddenly approached, and a huge
's face appeared on the screen.
Then, he distanced himself again and raised his middle finger towards the camera.
The man in front of the computer was stunned and suddenly laughed out loud. Are all police officers this funny nowadays?
He thought, switching the computer screen, and another still live broadcast screen appeared in front of him.
The man stretched, stood up, and conscientiously performed the eighth set of radio gymnastics.
Then he put on a yellow headgear, and on top of the headgear stood a sports camera.
After the man finished his warm-up exercises, he laughed out loud. He picked up the big hammer leaning against the wall and looked at the computer, "Can you find me? You fools from the special case team."
There was an iron chain on the hammer, and it made a cold metal sound when it was dragged on the ground, which was very harsh.
The man seemed to be accustomed to it, humming a little tune and walked out leisurely.
…
Li Yuan put the camera in his pocket, put down the two red, white and blue bags with the hemp ropes tied before, then climbed down the stairs and nodded to Shen Ke.
"They should all be here. The murderer installed a camera and is just waiting to see what his expression will be like after we find the body! He is really sick!"
Li Yuan said and made a way, and Yan Xiulin took a step forward.
He didn't know when he opened his suitcase, took out gloves and a mask, and was fully dressed.
The sound of sirens is coming from far away, and police reinforcements should be arriving soon.
Yan Xiulin opened one of the red, white and blue snakeskin bags and frowned, "It should have been injured by a blunt object, such as a hammer. The skull was sunken and there were many fractures on the body... Preliminary judgment on the time of death It was around early morning."
Listening to Yan Xiulin's words, Shen Ke recalled the scene he saw in the processing plant and the turned off camera in Li Yuan's hand, and the picture emerged in his mind.
She seemed to see two girls crying and covering their mouths in that dark factory. They were hiding everywhere, trying to find a way out.
The factory was so dark that there was a smell of rust everywhere. The murderer was walking back and forth dragging a sledgehammer, "Where are you? I'm coming to find you! If I find you, you will die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the big hammer slammed over and hit the worn-out machine, making a harsh sound. The girls were like frightened rabbits, they screamed and ran away...
But it doesn't help...
"Hey! Found you!"
Shen Ke pursed his lips and looked at the dark processing plant. The red and blue flashing lights in the distance were getting closer and closer. Qi Huan didn't know when he got out of the car and leaned against Wang Yahan. The location of the parking space was silent.
Shen Ke retracted his thoughts.
"The murderer is a male. He is very strong. The murder weapon he used is a hammer. He knows the arrangement of the four people about the water tower. He should be an acquaintance among the four people. We are a step late. Now we have discovered the bodies of Gao Han and Zhou Mengru."
"However, Yao Shanshan and Qian Tang are probably not dead yet. The murderer installed a camera, so he should have been sitting in front of the computer during this period, monitoring the movements of our police."
"Now that the camera has been pulled down by Li Yuan, what will the murderer do next?"
As Li Yuan listened, he felt that the camera was hot, as if it was burning a hole in the palm of his hand.
"He will then beat Yao Shanshan and Qian Tang to death with a sledgehammer just like he killed Gao Han and Zhou Mengru."
"That's right!" Shen Ke nodded towards Li Yuan, she raised her voice and walked towards Qi Huan, "Is there any abandoned place nearby, a place with a large size and many obstacles like a processing factory, which is convenient? The murderer plays a killing game similar to hide-and-seek!”
As soon as Shen Ke finished speaking, Qi Huan and Yan Xiulin said in unison, "Yuanshui Village Primary School."
