Chapter 85: Is the murderer a veteran?
"Damn bastard!" Wang Zheng leaned on the railing and roared madly. But all he could do was to see the murderer wearing a bat gliding suit and rushing away into the distance.
After a short period of time, Gao Feng and Hua Mei had gradually accepted this dazzling light.
When Gao Feng saw the scene in front of him, he subconsciously took two steps back, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground. He swallowed, glanced at Wang Zheng's background, and said in a lost voice: "Wang... Wang Zheng... you... you behind..."
Wang Zheng turned his head subconsciously, but when he turned around, he was stunned.
Less than half a meter in front of him, there was a wooden cross. On the cross, a naked woman was tied.
The woman's hair was tied into a ponytail behind her back, her lips were sealed with fishing line, and her eyelids were cut off. But these were not enough to make Wang Zheng really dazed. What really made him dazed was...
The skin on the woman's back was completely stripped off and combined with her hands. Through the light, one could see some blood and broken capillaries stuck to the skin. It really looked like a butterfly's wings.
From a distance, it really looked like a butterfly, except that it was a butterfly tied to a cross...
The ancient pagoda is a tourist attraction in City B. If people knew that such a murder had happened here, the traffic would definitely be reduced by more than half, so Wang Zheng notified the police to transport the body back overnight, and after collecting evidence, he had someone clean up the bloodstains at the scene.
The security guards at the Guta were also asked to sign a confidentiality agreement.
…
Three o'clock in the morning, B City Police Department, Task Force Office.
The lights in the surrounding neighborhoods were all off, except for the police station, which was brightly lit.
In the task force office, four people sat in their seats in silence.
Gu Xia smoked one cigarette after another, and the entire task force office was filled with smoke.
Wang Zheng went into the bathroom to wash his face, then returned to the office, glanced at the three silent people, and said in a very low voice: "This time it was my mistake."
"It's not your mistake." Gu Xia put out the cigarette butt in his hand, threw it into the trash can, looked up at Wang Zheng and said, "The murderer was well prepared, but I can't figure it out. How did he know our movements? He even knew that we were secretly scouting the place."
Gao Feng rubbed his somewhat stiff calf muscles, raised his head and looked at Gu Xia and asked, "Professor Gu, do you suspect there is an undercover agent in the police force?"
Gu Xia took out another cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it, then said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Two years ago, in the serial murder case, more than 2,000 police officers were dispatched to hunt down the murderer in the whole city, but they didn't catch the murderer. If it was a coincidence, I would believe it. But in this serial murder case, the murderer actually knew our movements, and I feel something is wrong about this."
"It's better not to doubt one's own people first." Wang Zheng put his hands on his chest and said solemnly: "I think we don't have an undercover agent inside, but the murderer has a strong anti-reconnaissance ability. And I suspect he has served in the army before."
Gu Xia raised his head and looked at Wang Zheng with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Why do you guess so?"
"Because when we found the murderer in the ancient tower, he escaped using a bat gliding suit." Wang Zheng's face was a little grim, and he analyzed rationally: "There are very few ordinary people who can control a bat gliding suit, and this kind of thing is hard to get. People who can skillfully control a bat gliding suit to glide from 200 meters in the air are generally retired from the Air Force. And they are very likely retired members of the Air Force Marine Corps."
Gu Xia took a few puffs of his cigarette in silence, and then said, "If he really is a retired Air Force Marine, then we're in trouble."
The Air Force is the most difficult team to enter in China. Those who can enter the Air Force are all the elite among the elite. The Air Force Marines are the elite among the Air Force. The top members can even be compared with the top members of the Wolf Fang Force in China.
This kind of person not only has strong military qualities, but also knows a lot about the operation of the Chinese army. If the murderer is really a retired member of the Air Force Marine Corps, then why can he escape from the siege of 2,000 people? This is not impossible.
Gao Feng suddenly thought of something. He looked around and said, "There is an aerial gliding club in City B. I think we can go check it out."
The members of the task force office fell into silence again.
At four o'clock in the morning, Bai Ling dragged her tired body to the task force office with a report in her hand. She glanced at the three people in the office and said, "The autopsy results are out."
As soon as she finished speaking, she also sat on the stool.
Gu Xia turned his head to look at Bai Ling, raised his hand to put out the cigarette butt and asked: "What are the results of the autopsy?"
"The specific modus operandi is very different from the last time." Bai Ling looked at Gu Xia and took a breath before saying, "The victim is still a female, with a bone age between 25 and 28 years old. Before killing her, the murderer cut off her eyelids and sewed her mouth shut with fishing line. The victim was not autopsied this time, and she died from excessive blood loss."
As he spoke, Bai Ling opened the file bag in his hand and handed it to the four people in front of him one by one, saying, "This time, the victim's back skin was peeled off by force and then sewn to the arm with fishing line. There are three 20-centimeter wounds on the victim's back. Each wound broke the muscles on the back."
"This is the last clue left by the murderer." Bai Ling handed over a plastic bag in her hand. There was a ghost doll inside, and a line of words were left on the back of the ghost doll with a pen.
"10.20, Phoenix Dance."
After looking at the clues left by the murderer, Wang Zheng couldn't help but shook his head and said, "The murderer's anti-reconnaissance ability is too strong. If we go directly to the scene to scout or stake out, he might kill the victim in advance."
After learning the lesson tonight, Wang Zheng really didn’t dare to act rashly again, for fear of angering the murderer again and causing an even more brutal case.
Gu Xia put the ghost doll aside, then looked at the four people in front and said, "Let's start with the Sky Sliding Club in City B."
Gu Xia turned his gaze to Bai Ling and said, "Bai Ling, go ask the investigation department to check the identity of the victim."
Bai Ling smacked her tired eyes and nodded in response: "Okay, I'll do it in a moment."
"Okay, that's all for tonight." Gu Xia stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone go back and rest first."
