Chapter 53 Another Death
The surroundings were plunged into darkness. Han Yun stopped, looked back at the taxi, then hurriedly took out his cell phone, switched it to flashlight mode, and used the phone to illuminate the way as he continued forward.
The place where the red light was emitted just now should be a factory called "Hongri Electric Appliance Factory". This factory is the same as the "Haoshiwei Food Factory", also an abandoned factory building, also unattended and wide open. Han Yun walked in and saw an office building facing him. The door of the building was locked and he could not enter. He walked around the office building and there was a factory building behind it. The door of the factory building was also locked.
If the judgment is correct, the Red Light Arhat should have landed here in the end. The factory building has two floors. Although the door is locked, many windows have been smashed. Han Yun jumped in along one of the broken glass. The factory building is very large. There should have been various machines in the past, but now they have all been moved out. The mobile phone cannot illuminate the entire factory building.
Han Yun held his breath, pricked up his ears to listen to the surrounding sounds, walked forward, and checked with the light of his mobile phone. According to the Red Light Arhat incident in Lijia Village in 2000 and the murder of Xu Wenbin, the Red Light Arhat falling from the sky indicates that someone will die.
From the appearance of the red light to the advent of the Arhat, the entire time was less than a minute, perhaps even less than thirty seconds.
Although the time was short, Han Yun saw clearly that the arhat who had just landed did not have an angry expression, but a grinning face. With a full beard and a grinning face, he looked both festive and weird. Han Yun also noticed that the arhat was holding a string of prayer beads in his hand. According to the logic of the two cases, the iron bowl in the arhat's hand or the deer he was riding would usually be the murder weapon.
From the appearance of the red light to the time Han Yun arrived at the factory, about three to five minutes had passed. In such a short period of time, the person who created the Red Light Arhat might not have left yet, or might not have had time to leave.
Han Yun thought about this and became more alert. He did not find any bodies on the first floor of the entire factory, so he found the stairs to the second floor, leaned against the wall, and walked up the stairs step by step. The second floor of the factory was different from the first floor. There were many compartments. Han Yun went to the compartment closest to the stairs to check. The compartment was empty, so he began to check one by one.
After checking about five or six cubicles in a row, Han Yun walked to the next one. As soon as he reached the door, he saw blood flowing out of the cubicle. He walked around the blood and raised his phone to shine inside the cubicle. There was a person sitting on the ground with his back against the wooden board, his head hanging down, and his clothes stained red with blood.
The second time he saw the corpse, Han Yun no longer felt the fear he had the first time he saw the female corpse in Xu Wenbin's rental house. He frowned slightly, walked around the blood and walked into the cubicle. He squatted beside the corpse and shone the flashlight on the neck of the deceased. There was a string of rosary beads wrapped around the neck of the deceased. The rosary was wrapped very tightly, and the neck had been strangled to leave a deep wound.
It was still raining heavily outside. Apart from the sound of rain, I could not hear anything else. All other sounds were covered up. When Han Yun was checking the body, the phone suddenly rang.
Han Yun shuddered, and the phone in his hand slipped and fell on the dead body. The name "Yu Miaomiao" flashed on the phone screen. Han Yun carefully picked up the phone from the dead body, pressed the answer button , and put the phone to his ear. Before he could say anything, Yu Miaomiao said first: "I'm sorry to call so late, but the situation is urgent. Check TikTok quickly. Someone has taken a video of the red light arhat falling from the sky and posted it online."
It seems that the taxi driver just now posted the video he shot online. Han Yun took a deep breath, left the compartment, and said to Miaomiao in a low voice: "I'm at the scene. Please notify Li Tieyun and others to come over. I will send you the specific location on WeChat."
Han Yun didn't care what Miaomiao was saying, he just hung up the phone, then found Yu Miaomiao's WeChat and pushed his current location. After finishing, Han Yun turned on the flashlight again and shone it towards the ceiling of the factory. If he wanted to make the red light arhat fall from the sky, it would obviously be impossible on the second floor. Even if it was a holographic projection, it would not be possible to pass through the ceiling.
So after the murderer killed someone, he probably went to the rooftop or the open space next to the factory to create the appearance of the Red Light Arhat. If the murderer knew that Han Yun was nearby, and the audience this time was in Xi'an, it would be too time-consuming to climb up to the roof, create the Red Light Arhat, and then pack up the equipment and leave, because the murderer knew that once the Red Light Arhat appeared, Han Yun would definitely rush over as soon as possible.
In this case, the murderer could only choose the open space next to the factory building. From a distance, it also gave the illusion that the Arhat had fallen from the sky into the factory building. Han Yun thought so and temporarily left the compartment with the body, ran down the stairs to the first floor, and then climbed out of the window to leave the factory building. If it weren't for the heavy rain that covered up all the sounds, Han Yun might have run into the murderer.
There was a hood on the back of the raincoat, Han Yun put it on, and then checked the nearby lawn. At this time, the phone rang again, and it was Su Mo who called. Han Yun picked up the phone, and Su Mo said: "Just now, my acquaintance in the police station told me that the Red Light Arhat appeared again."
"I'm at the scene." Han Yun replied.
"You went to the appointment?" Su Mo took a breath of cold air on the phone: "The person who wrote that note is the murderer in this case?"
"The person who wrote the note is not the murderer." The murderer in this case could not possibly know the name 'Qin Xiang'. Han Yun said while checking the lawn: "I still don't know what happened. Let's leave it at that." Han Yun hung up the phone and walked around the lawn next to the factory building, but did not find any equipment that could be used for projection.
It looked like the murderer had taken it away. Thinking of this, Han Yun came to the main gate of the factory and wanted to ask the driver if he saw anyone running out. However, when he walked out, he found that the taxi that had been parked in front of the "Hao Shiwei Food Factory" had left. Perhaps he was afraid of getting into trouble? After all this trouble just now, Han Yun was a little tired. He found a rooftop eaves to avoid the rain and sat on the ground waiting for Li Tieyun and others to arrive.
About twenty minutes later, several police cars drove over from a distance with sirens blaring. After they stopped, Li Tieyun and others got out first and came to Han Yun. Han Yun pointed behind him and said, "There is a factory building behind the office building. On the second floor, the body is in the eighth compartment after going up the stairs."
Li Tieyun winked at his colleagues and asked them to go in first. Then he called two more people and ordered, "Take Detective Han back to the car."
After hearing the instructions from Team Leader Li, the two men stepped forward. At this time, Yu Miaomiao, who had arrived later, ran over in the rain and asked, "Team Leader Li, what do you mean by this?"
