Chapter 48 Don’t you guys watch movies?
A ringtone sounded, and Su He picked up the phone in a daze. He squinted to see the caller ID, and it was Zhou Bing from the criminal police team.
"Hey, Officer Zhou, who died again?"
Don’t ask, the question is why I’m in a bad mood when I wake up.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and then Zhou Bing's voice came: Su He, come to the Public Security Bureau.
Rubbing his hangover forehead, Su He climbed out of bed. Ma Mingzhe and Dong Yong were still sleeping soundly, while Pan Zhigang was lying in the toilet vomiting violently.
It seemed that they would not be able to play supporting roles today. After giving Pan Zhigang a few instructions, Su He rode his electric bike to the Public Security Bureau.
As soon as I parked the car, two policemen came over.
"Su He, please follow us."
This time, it’s finally not an interrogation room.
In the office, Zhou Bing looked at Su He seriously and asked, "Where were you and what were you doing between 2 and 3 in the morning on the 25th?"
Su He frowned. It was two o'clock in the morning on the 25th. What happened the night before yesterday?
"After delivering the takeaway, I ate noodles at the husband-and-wife noodle shop on Ruitong Road... and then went back to the hotel to sleep..."
Zhou Bing continued to ask: "What happened between the time you finished eating the noodles and the time you returned to the hotel?"
"Nothing happened!... Oh, you mean Qi Zhenguo fell down? I can prove that it was the fault of the SUV. He was speeding and swearing. Oh, and he ran away. Does this count as a hit-and-run?"
Looking at the expression on Officer Zhou's face, Su He was stunned: "Qi Zhenguo is dead?"
Zhou Bing did not answer, staring into Su He's eyes for a long time before he said, "You really don't know?"
Su He shook his head.
"At 9 a.m. on the 26th, you delivered a takeaway to Jinghu Community. Do you still remember it?"
"Mr. Zhang?" Su He had a very clear impression of him: a man wearing a facial mask and speaking harshly. She almost gave him a bad review.
Zhou Bing nodded.
"He's dead?" Su He breathed a sigh of relief. He thought something had happened to Qi Zhenguo.
"What? You don't seem surprised?" Zhou Bing had been observing Su He's expression. As an old criminal policeman, he could tell whether Su He was lying or not.
"Well, Officer Zhou, this has nothing to do with me. I have the delivery record. Jinghu Community is full of surveillance cameras. You can check the surveillance. I..."
"The surveillance showed that it took you six minutes to get back into the elevator after you exited it. Why did it take so long?"
Su He hurriedly took out his phone, found Mr. Zhang's order, and said, "Look, he said he was applying a facial mask and asked me not to rush him. I waited for five minutes before knocking on the door. As soon as I opened the door, he started swearing. I put down the takeaway and left."
There was indeed a message on the order. Zhou Bing asked the policeman next to him to take a photo of Su He's phone and continued, "Mr. Zhang was found dead in a trash can by a sanitation worker this morning. Do you have any clues?"
Su He shook his head. He was just delivering the takeaway normally and didn't even see Mr. Zhang's face clearly.
At this moment, two choices suddenly appeared before me.
"Option 1: Assist the police in solving the case. Completion reward: Truth Potion!"
“Option 2: Do nothing and wait for the police to solve the case. Completion reward: Clear all assets (bank cards, WeChat, Alipay, cash...)”
Su He rubbed his eyes. If he was not mistaken, the second option would leave him starving!
System, get out! You call this a reward?
The system clearly wanted him to help solve the case . Su He smiled bitterly in his heart and thought, I’m just a delivery man, how can I solve the case!
If the delivery men can solve the case, what are the police for?
Seeing Officer Zhou looking at him in confusion, Su He sighed and said, "Officer Zhou, can I join you and help solve the case?"
Zhou Bing was not surprised. He took out a document from the table beside him, handed it to Su He, and said, "This is a special letter of cooperation approved by the bureau because of your special situation and your talent. There is also a letter of introduction. If you are interested in becoming a police officer, you can go to the Public Security University for further studies. With your ability, I believe you will be an excellent criminal police officer in the future."
Go to university? Su He failed the high school entrance exam, and his teacher praised him as a talent, but this did not affect his decision to study excavators at a vocational high school.
After graduation, I went around in circles and ended up delivering takeout. I wasted so much time and took so many detours. If I had known this would happen, I should have started delivering takeout from the beginning.
Zhou Bing took Su He to another office where a dozen policemen were busy. They just looked up at Su He and continued working.
"In less than ten days, three murders occurred. On April 17, the first victim, Wei Qiang, was unemployed and made a living by hunting in the mountains. He was found murdered at home. The murderer cut open his stomach, pulled out his intestines, inserted this iron rod, and then sewed up his stomach..."
On the projector, there were shocking photos one after another. The facial expression of the deceased was very peaceful, and the sutured wound on the stomach was very smooth. Su He's master-level suture skills showed at a glance that this was a simple interrupted suture method commonly used in surgical operations.
The murderer was a surgeon!
"On April 24, the second victim, Ma Yihong, the director of Capital People's Hospital, was killed in his office. The murderer took his heart and also left behind an item like this."
There are dark brown symbols on the stones and iron rods, which seem to be related to some kind of religious ceremony.
"On April 27, at 5:28 this morning, a sanitation worker reported that the third victim, Zhang Dada, a well-known host, was found in a trash can. The murderer took out his tongue and put a piece of iron in his mouth..."
Mr. Zhang?
Su He looked at the photos one by one. Zhang Dada's mouth was sewn shut, his eyes were wide open, and there was blood on his fingers. The stitches were untied, and he had a piece of iron in his mouth, with the same kind of runes on it.
"According to forensic identification, all three victims had large amounts of anesthetics in their bodies. Due to their special positions, victims No. 1 and No. 2 were already dead after their intestines and hearts were removed. As for victim No. 3, he woke up after the anesthetic effect wore off. He was choked to death..."
"The police initially determined that the murderer was about 1.7 meters tall, 35 to 40 years old, male, with surgical experience. Multiple surveillance cameras were unable to identify the murderer's facial features. In order to prevent the murderer from committing further crimes, we must identify the suspect within 24 hours."
"As for the motive for the murder, it is initially suspected to be related to some kind of sacrificial activity. Relevant experts are currently deciphering those runes..."
Intestines, heart, tongue...Su He suddenly exclaimed: "This is not a sacrifice at all! This person wants to become an immortal!"
Become an immortal?
All the police officers looked at Su He, you are really outrageous!
Cases caused by feudal superstition often occur. I have only heard of people worshiping evil spirits and gods, but I have never heard of people wanting to become gods themselves.
"Don't you guys watch movies?"
Seeing the policemen showing incredible expressions, Su He said helplessly.
