Bionic Era

Chapter 166 Crimson and Burning

The safe house is here soon.

Lu Wen looked around through the car window, and there were many places suitable for lurking.

Even he almost didn't notice some hidden cameras.

Since the earliest car belonged to the executive bureau, I changed a car midway.

Lu Wen parked the car on the side of the road, walked down and said, "Actually, the murderer has a high probability of knowing the movements of the Executive Bureau. No matter how many disguises he makes, it won't help. What should come will still come."

"I was just waiting for him to come."

Holding Jiang Yun's collar, Wei Bo'an got out of the car and closed the door.

This was the first time they had taken the lead after the case happened. The murderer had left clues at the doctor's house.

It was a relatively small success.

Wei Boan led Jiang Yun to the door of the safe house.

Stretching out his hand, just as he was about to open the door, Lu Wen suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, I'll open the door!"

Wei Bo'an was startled, then retracted his hand.

He understood what Lu Wen meant.

Most people with a military background know how to set up simple traps, such as trigger traps, and many traps choose the door.

The moment you open the door, you are likely to be greeted by a bullet.

Lu Wen walked up to the two of them.

He took the key from Wei Boan.

"Crack."

The key turned and the door opened.

Lu Wen slowly opened the door.

Safety.

Nothing else happened.

"There was no dust deposited when the door was opened. Do you often send people to clean the safe house?" Lu Wen asked.

"Yes, it will be cleaned once a month or so."

Wei Bo'an's words dispelled Lu Wen's worries.

Apparently the murderer never came.

The three entered the house successively.

Many pieces of furniture were covered with white plastic sheets, which reminded Lu Wen of Li Meng's home.

"Boss, I'm quite dirty and I want to take a shower. Is there hot water here?" Jiang Yun asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll go take a look."

What Wei Boan looked at was not the hot water, but the location of the bathroom.

"There are no windows, and there is no sign of the ceiling being opened. It's safe. Go wash it."

There must be hot water, after all, the safe house can be used as a long-term residence.

The two sat on the sofa.

The position of the sofa and the window are at an angle, if there are snipers outside, it is difficult to shoot from this angle.

Wei Bo'an boiled some water, took out a bag of tea leaves, and said, "Would you like some, the tea can calm your mind."

Lu Wen waved his hand, "Forget it, I can't taste it anymore."

The hot water in the glass cup of green tea leaves rises and falls, and the water vapor curls up.

"Just wait here for the murderer. The person I arranged is already in place. If he really dares to come, he will throw himself into the trap." Wei Bo'an said, blowing on the tea gently.

"There is also another possibility that the murderer will skip the fourth target and go directly to the next target."

Neither of them worried too much, though.

Those who are currently involved in the case twelve years ago are all dead.

The remaining one is protected by them.

As for the next goal...

It can only be the real culprit back then.

"If the murderer can help us find the real murderer, it will save a lot of effort." Lu Wen leaned on the sofa and went through all the details of the case.

It seems to be coming to an end.

If the murderer's target is really only the people involved in the original case, then this matter is coming to an end.

In fact, there are many others.

The judge who pronounced the sentence at the beginning, the other witnesses who appeared in court, friends of both parties, etc., but Wei Boan asked people to investigate those people, and the information is now being passed on one after another.

Judging from the known information, those people have no problems.

The murderer would only kill people who could have been killed in that case.

The two sat on the sofa and waited.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

News from the outside world kept coming.

"Colleagues in the 12th district haven't found the source of those medicines. There are not many valuable clues left at the scene of the crime. It can be said that there are none. Several Internet geniuses in our district are fully engaged in investigating the related cases of the year. There is no personnel information for ..."

"Wait." Lu Wen suddenly stood up from the sofa.

"What's wrong?" Wei Bo'an looked at him.

"How long has Jiang Yun been taking a bath?"

The sound of running water in the bathroom continued.

But these sounds are regular and haven't changed in a long time.

When Lu Wen was thinking about the problem, he had been listening to the sound of water, and the change that hadn't happened for a long time made him suspicious.

"Boom boom boom..."

He knocked on the door.

No one responded.

"boom!"

Lu Wen kicked the door open.

...

...

After more than ten minutes.

Jiang Yun's body was transported away.

he died.

Hanged himself in the bathroom.

Step on the toilet, strap your belt to the tallest shower head, and stick your head in.

The skinny man swayed gently in the sound of water.

I don't know what he was thinking before he died.

Whether it is true remorse.

Or simply choose to end your life because you feel powerless about it.

"The fourth goal."

Lu Wen stood at the door of the safe house, watching the corpse truck going away.

Did not wait for the murderer to strike.

Perhaps everything has long been in the murderer's calculations.

The analysis of human nature and the control of time are all so just right.

"This is the guard who was in charge of guarding Jiang Yun at the time."

Wei Boan introduced someone to Lu Wen.

During the more than six years when Jiang Yun was imprisoned due to negligent death, this person was in charge of guarding him, and he also helped handle the final release procedures.

"Jiang Yun looked fine when he was released from prison. I gave him 1,000 yuan as travel expenses and told him to live a good life in the future."

According to the guard, Jiang Yun's mental condition in the prison is not bad.

Far from what it is today.

"I don't know what he has experienced in the past six months."

The words of discipline caused Lu Wen to think.

He looked fine when he got out of prison.

But in the past six months... he completely lost the idea of ​​living, like a walking corpse, waiting for the sentence of death every day.

Jiang Yun said it before.

During the six months after he was released from prison, he often dreamed about the couple and the two children.

Maybe it's not a dream!

Since the murderer knows how to prepare medicine, there is a high probability that he will prepare some hallucinogenic psychotropic drugs.

"Let's go to Jiang Yun's room, we may have missed something just now!"

The two bid farewell to the guard and returned to the car.

In the short time before, they once thought they were in front of the murderer.

But in the end it was futile.

"Since the murderer will kill them one by one, what's the use of leaving clues for us?" Wei Bo'an asked puzzled.

"Hard to say……"

After more than ten minutes, the two returned to the simple rental house.

A burst of rummaging.

In the end, I found a collection of poems and a diary.

And...a dagger.

"The diary was written one after another by Jiang Yun in the past six months, recording what he saw in his dreams."

Lu Wen opened the old diary.

The handwriting is very bad, and some of them are replaced by pinyin.

But through the description in the diary, Lu Wen could see Jiang Yun's psychological changes in the past six months.

at first.

Jiang Yun would burn paper for those two children, as well as the woman who was falsely accused and imprisoned by him.

But those dreams never go away.

Later, even in broad daylight, he could see those people coming back to look for him.

Tell him to go down.

Ask him to atone.

Jiang Yun's mentality slowly collapsed over time.

In his latest notes, he had suicidal thoughts.

"The autopsy will start later to see if there are traces of drugs in Jiang Yun's body," Wei Bo'an said.

"There is a high probability." Lu Wen put down the diary in his hand, "The book of poems and the dagger are the two clues left by the murderer. This book of poems is... or Pushkin's. It was the book of poems that was torn from the home of the first deceased. part."

Open the poetry collection.

The first poem is impressively "Prisoner".

"The clues given by the murderer are often the name of the poem, and the prisoner means..." Lu Wen frowned, "Could it be that the next target is in prison?"

He turned to look at another clue left by the murderer.

that dagger.

Judging by the size, it is likely that this dagger left those non-fatal wounds on the first and second deceased.

"It's a murder weapon."

Lu Wen thought that in the case twelve years ago, her husband was also stabbed in the chest with a dagger.

"We guessed right. The murderer's next target is the real murderer of that case. Now that person is likely to have committed a crime and is still serving his sentence in prison."

"There are many prisons in the Tenth Ward."

Wei Boan sent a document to Lu Wen.

Large and small, all kinds of prisons, to deal with different levels of criminals.

The prison in the thirteenth district also has this hierarchical structure.

Jiang Xiaonian was imprisoned in the highest level prison.

"Information, send me a copy of the information of all criminals who have been imprisoned in the tenth district in the past twelve years and are still serving their sentences in prison. I will screen them out as soon as possible."

"Okay, wait a minute."

The advantage of the bionic person is that the screening information is quite fast.

If you just use specific conditions to filter, it is a matter of seconds.

But this time there are no specific conditions, Lu Wen can only do a little bit, and choose the person who he thinks is most likely to be the murderer in the original case.

"It's too slow for me to screen all trustworthy android executives into the same group," Lu Wen said.

"It's been done, and a copy of the information has been sent to each of them. Tell me."

Wei Boan also sent a copy of the obtained criminal information to Lu Wen.

Lu Wen started sending messages in the group.

"We want to find the real culprit of the case twelve years ago, and the following conditions must be met."

"He has a tendency to violence and has been in prison many times. In prison, he would have conflicts with correctional officers and other criminals. He has a low degree of education and no stable job. Most of his work is manual labor, and his body is stronger than ordinary people... "

Lu Wen has never seen the real murderer twelve years ago.

Nor was there any information to tell him about the character of the man.

He could only slowly form a human image in his mind based on the clues he had obtained in the past few days.

"He has a strong dependence on alcohol, and may have certain psychological problems. He often needs to vent, and he will go to bars, nightclubs and other places, and play until the early hours of the morning. Several of his prison experiences may be conflicts with people in bars... ..."

Following Lu Wen's description.

The bionic executives far away in the Tenth District also began to process the data quickly.

There are not many qualified people.

According to the finally obtained personnel files, everyone was divided into many groups to investigate one by one.

Every prison can see the busy figure of the executive officer.

until dusk.

This rare sunny day in Mowu City is coming to an end.

"A lot of people have been investigated. At present, there are two people who are more suspected. They happened to drink in a bar near the area where the case happened in the early morning twelve years ago."

"But both of them said that they did not do that. We will continue to interrogate them later. There are still a large number of eligible criminals who have not been investigated."

Wei Bo'an seemed quite energetic.

The people who checked together are all bionics, so they won't feel tired.

"Continue tonight?"

"OK."

Lu Wen didn't need to eat, but Wei Boan couldn't.

The other bionic executives are still investigating. The two of them found a noodle restaurant outside a certain prison.

"It's rare to have such good weather, the sunset is always crimson, and you've been busy with the case all day." Wei Bo'an slurped the noodles, and said a few words casually.

Lu Wen looked outside.

Looking into the distance along the street, the line of sight gradually rises.

It was indeed crimson. In this city covered with overcast clouds all year round, Huoshaoyun could be seen unexpectedly. The gray clouds in the sky seemed to have dispersed a lot.

That bright red is like a flame that never goes out.

Soaring, burning.

Pedestrians who came and went seemed less numb.

They talked and laughed, and some took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

"Om-oom--"

Lu Wen's cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

He connected to his mobile phone and found that it was an urgent message from the General Directorate of the Thirteenth District Executive Bureau.

At the same time, the public channel of District 13 also sent out the same message.

"The prison is on fire, the defense system has failed, many prisoners have fled, urgent reinforcements are requested!"

Above the message is an address.

"this place?"

Lu Wen's expression changed.

It was the high-level prison where Jiang Xiaonian was held, and all the prisoners were heinous.

In the era when the death penalty had not been abolished, the crimes committed by the criminals there were enough to allow them to be repeatedly shot countless times.

At the same time, Lu Wen thought of another thing.

"Prison...prisoners...can't be such a coincidence?"

Did the real murderer twelve years ago go to the thirteenth district?

...
