Monument of Life and Death

   Chapter 893 Face recognition

   "This is..." Looking at the desolate parking lot in front of him, Lu Shoucai couldn't help but ask.

   "The police station is too far away," the policeman said while leading the way, "the rather suspicious surveillance video is near this parking lot, so we brought you here directly."

   Qin Yin looked at the surrounding environment, "We haven't seen it here."

   "Hmmm." Wenling nodded as well.

   "At least... the suspects are not the three young men," Qin Yin said. "They didn't pass by here that night."

   The two were a little relieved.

This clue appeared too fast, causing both father and daughter to feel a little unreal. Lu Jieyi took his father's arm and kept looking at the area, as if thinking, this is where the murderer once came. place?

   I always feel that... the murderer who has been absconding for several months will not be found so easily.

  The parking lot is empty and desolate. There is a circle of deciduous trees on the periphery. The trunks are crooked and the leaves have already fallen off. Looking at it now, it looks like a few rows of dry, lanky weirdos, surrounding the parking lot, posing a strange gesture like a sacrifice.

   At the southeast corner of the parking lot, stood a slightly dilapidated two-story building. There were several police cars parked in front of the building. It seemed that was where they were going.

   "This is..." Lu Shoucai said.

"This was originally the parking lot of the pharmaceutical factory next to it. After the factory closed, it was rented as a public parking lot," the police said. "But because it is too remote, there are usually no people here, but... even if it is desolate, After all, it is also public property and is protected by the agency, so monitoring devices are set up.”

  The police said and pointed to the northwest corner of the parking lot.

   It seems that the lens is there.

   "Oh." Lu Shoucai actually just asked casually, but the police explained it seriously.

   The group quickly came to the front of the second-story building, and several people greeted them and led them through the door.

The inside of this building is even rougher than its appearance. The walls of the ceiling have almost peeled off. The floor that has been soaked in water rises and falls. Every time you step on it, a different tone will be heard. The air smelled of grass and earth.

   "The duty room is over there." The leading policeman pointed to the corridor on the right.

  It is hard to imagine that there are actually people on duty here.

   There were several people standing in front of the first door in the corridor on the right. When they saw them coming, they moved to open the door one after another. The sign hanging on the door was mottled and blurred, and the strokes of "亻banzhi" could be vaguely recognized.

   To their surprise, the atmosphere inside the duty room was completely different from the outside.

  A small bed, a chair, a desk, clear windows, warm breath...

   There is a computer on the desk, and what is playing on the computer is a surveillance video.

   "The witnesses are here," the leading police officer said to the people in the duty room first, then turned to them and said, "Okay, please identify the two of you."

"okay."

   Four people squeezed into this small room together.

   "The two of you are here," a police officer standing next to the computer said to the two of them, "We have captured a suspicious figure in the surveillance video here. Please check with the two of you to see if you have any impressions."

   Lu Jieyi glanced at his father timidly, and then said, "I... I have never seen that murderer."

   "It doesn't matter, you just need to be honest with your opinion," the police officer said, and clicked on the video with the mouse. "Several other witnesses have also come to confirm."

   "Any other witnesses?"

   "To be exact, it's the victim's family," the police officer said. "None of them have ever seen the prisoner, so you don't have to be too nervous, just be realistic."

   In the video, it was dark, and it was still this parking lot. The parking lot was shadowy at night, making it even more terrifying.

   Suddenly, a figure appeared far away in the corner of the camera.

   "It's him." The policeman pointed at the figure and said.

  Lu Jieyi glanced at the time displayed at the bottom of the video. The shooting time happened to be around 11:50 at night, and the time was right.

  The man was all black, and he almost blended into the night. He appeared from the corner of the camera, but he did not directly cross the square, but walked along the surrounding trees and approached the camera little by little.

The    figure gradually became clearer.

   "He... he seems to be wearing a hat," Lu Jieyi frowned, "I can't see his face."

   "Later, wait a moment." The police officer said calmly.

   The figure got closer, and at this moment, everyone saw the strangeness of this figure.

   The eyes of the father and daughter suddenly widened. The two pointed at the screen and stuttered, "Belly... belly!"

   That person has a big belly.

  The man was wearing a black hat and black clothes. He walked briskly and quickly, and his figure was thin and thin. The most abrupt thing was that he had a big belly.

   "His belly is fake." Lu Shoucai said immediately.

  Lu Jieyi looked at his father.

   "A person with a belly cannot walk like this," Lu Shoucai patted his beer belly and said, "Even if she is a pregnant woman, it is impossible."

"This is what we think is suspicious," the police officer said. "Considering that the prisoner carried the victim's head on his body, we focused on investigating the person carrying the item in the video. Combined with the reference time provided by Miss Lu, the current It seems that this person is very suspicious."

   So his stomach... was actually the head.

   Lu Jieyi got excited, but soon, her fighting spirit lost, "But I can't see his face at all."

   "No hurry, look again."

  The video continued to play. When the man was about to walk out of the surveillance area, suddenly, the leaves and branches shook, and in the middle of the night, there was a gust of wind.

   The man's hat was blown off by the wind.

  A pale and ugly face appeared in the video.

   So clear, so intuitive.

  The policeman paused the video at that frame, and the hideous face was stuck there, with anger and evil.

  Lu Jieyi stared at him for a while, opened his mouth, and suddenly retched.

   "Yiyi, are you alright," Lu Shoucai quickly patted his daughter's back, "Do you have an impression of this face?"

  Lu Jieyi covered her mouth and calmed down for a while. She swallowed the saliva secreted in her mouth desperately. After a while, she opened her mouth and shouted fiercely, "It's him!"

   Everyone was stunned.

   "Yiyi, haven't you...haven't seen the face of the gangster?"

   "I...I haven't seen it before," Lu Jieyi's forehead was covered with layers of fine sweat. She wiped her forehead and said, "But I think it should be him."
