Chapter 54 Other Conditions
Senior high school girls...Pure virgins...Blood sacrifice ceremony...
Zhou Zhe's heart rate turned sharply and his face was solemn: "Brother Tang..."
"I probably have some guesses about who the sender is..."
Tang Meng waved his hand: "But no matter what, no matter whether the sender is reminding or threatening, I have no other choice."
Zhou Zhe took a deep breath: "Brother Tang, I will help you save your daughter."
At this time, Tang Meng did not pretend to behave, just nodded and patted Zhou Zhe on the shoulder.
"Let's go."
“Where to go?”
"Look for Sun Bei."
...
Outside the Public Security Bureau.
Zhou Zhe and Tang Meng squatted on the side of the road.
"Sun Bei shouldn't be the murderer, so the Public Security Bureau only asked him to assist in the investigation for no more than twenty-four hours, and he might even be released that day..."
"No matter how he wrote that article, he must know some inside story. This is also the easiest clue we can get at the moment."
Tang Meng threw away the cigarette butt: "Let's look for Sun Bei first to see if we can get any clues from him... If it really doesn't work, then go to the sheriff. They have been chasing the case for so long, and maybe they will get some clues."
Zhou Zhe nodded: "Yes."
The two smoked one by one on the side of the road until the sky was dark and the edge of the distant sky was painted with a layer of scarlet color by the red sun sinking into the horizon. Sun Bei walked out of the gate of the Public Security Bureau.
The two of them did not come forward rashly, but followed Sun Bei.
Sun Bei walked on the street covered with night, as if he felt someone following him, and he turned around to investigate from time to time.
When he was far away from the territory of the Public Security Bureau, Tang Meng no longer concealed her and directly chased her.
"Sun Bei."
"Tang Meng, Zhou Yuan."
Sun Bei relaxed with nervous expression: "It turned out to be you two. Who did I think it was, which made me restless."
Tang Meng looked serious: "Do you have time? Let's find a place to sit for a while?"
Sun Bei nodded: "Yes."
The three of them found a small open-air shop nearby and ordered a few dishes at will.
Waiting for the break between serving, Tang Meng asked directly: "Lao Sun, I have something important to ask you. Please be sure to answer me truthfully."
Sun Bei looked at Tang Meng and teased, "You can't ask about that mysterious ritual, right? The sheriff has asked me for a day."
Neither Tang Meng nor Zhou Zhe laughed, and Sun Bei was gradually infected by emotions and his smile faded: "What are you asking?"
"Where did you know that ceremony?"
Sun Bei sighed and slowly spoke:
"I have said this many times today. Okay, let's say it again... Am I not responsible for the urban bizarre talk section of our newspaper? Some time ago, the old serial novel was finished, so I wanted to find a new story to continue. But I couldn't find the one I like, so I planned to just write a few short stories myself."
"As a result, while collecting materials, I suddenly turned into a piece of yellow paper from a book, and the paper recorded such a strange ceremony."
"Actually, at the beginning, I just thought it was a madman's imagination or a prank, and I didn't take it seriously. But you also know that I have a good relationship with some sheriffs in the bureau and occasionally get some internal information. For example, those other pregnant women who also died of caesarean section..."
"I suddenly thought of the ceremony on that piece of paper, and then I simply compared it, and found that some details of these cases were surprisingly consistent with the mysterious ceremony!"
Tang Meng immediately asked, "Do you still keep that piece of paper?"
Sun Bei spread his hands: "I was taken away by the Public Security Bureau. I didn't keep it here either... but it's all here."
As he said that, Sun Bei pointed to his brain.
Zhou Zhe asked: "Brother Sun, this matter is obviously extraordinary. Why don't you notify the Public Security Bureau as soon as possible and announce it? And it also lists the real name of the victim. Are you not afraid of causing panic?"
"Zhou Yuan." Sun Bei smiled slightly: "I'm just to remind the public. You said that if the sheriff knew about this situation first, would they block the news like before? I think you said it, to avoid causing public panic?
Haha, what's the big deal about a few people in Chenghe City? It was because everyone didn't pay enough attention to it that criminals succeeded repeatedly! If panic can make everyone alert, it would be a good thing with immeasurable merits!"
"As for the real name? Tang Meng and Zhou Yuan, when you published Luo Li's report, it seemed that they didn't use a pseudonym, and they put all their photos in the newspaper, right?"
The two were silent.
Tang Meng took a deep breath and said, "Sun Bei, my daughter is missing. I suspect this matter is related to that mysterious ritual. If you know any other clues, please tell me that I can exchange anything!"
"Tang Meng, our old colleagues for so many years have no need to say this. Okay... Actually, I did not tell the sheriff some things today..."
"What's the matter?"
The store held the food on the table and interrupted Sun Bei's answer. When the store left, Sun Bei picked up the chopsticks and picked up a few dishes and started eating, "I'm hungry for a day today, so you want me to have a few bites first."
Tang Meng clenched her fists and didn't say anything, just waited quietly for Sun Bei to finish eating.
After eating four or five sips of each dish, the latter took a sip of the tea and said: "Actually, half of the messages I gave to the Public Security Bureau, including those published in the newspaper, did not say them. For example, the sacrifices for the ceremony require not only nine pure virgins, but also nine pure virgins..."
Sun Bei said: "It is recorded on yellow paper that the object of pleasing to this ceremony is the mysterious evil god called Ramil. This evil god likes clean and beautiful children the most and feeds on them. So if you want to please him, you need to sacrifice pure and beautiful boys and girls."
Sun Bei paused for a moment and added: "So, the purpose of the person who prepared the ceremony was very clear. He tried his best to kidnap the girl everywhere, and after he found that she was impure, he abandoned her directly without pity. What I found out from the Public Security Bureau before that the girls who were thrown into the river were all no longer virgins. But they had not been violated before their death."
Zhou Zhe narrowed his eyes and asked, "But if someone is preparing for this ceremony, why are the missing and the bodies being thrown away girls, but no men?"
Sun Bei smiled and said, "At first, I was also very confused about this issue, but later I found an explanation."
"Compared with pure boys, beautiful and pure girls are undoubtedly more scarce. You know, in this society, girls with a little beauty always face many pursuits, and it is difficult to maintain their virginity, let alone a beautiful and pure virginity? Therefore, it is more troublesome to find out for the ceremonies."
"And boys are much easier to find. This age can be found in many places, and it is easy to seduce and control."
