Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel

Chapter 4 Murder in a daily rented villa 4

Howell was a soldier before becoming a police officer.

Originally, he wanted to stay in the army and rely on his strength to join the special forces as a sniper. After all the tests were passed and the list came down, people were sent to report. But the mother couldn't help but worry about her son. After knowing that he was going to be a special soldier, she cried for half a year before she came back from crying.

Originally, his family wanted him to go to the city bureau and become a police officer, but He Wei firmly disagreed.

Not being able to go to the border guard, He Wei had already regressed, so his family promised him not to ask anything about him going to the criminal investigation team.

Now that he is the captain, it is true that he relies on his strength and performance, but when faced with a person like Bai Ji'an who talks about words, he still seems to be missing a nerve.

Suddenly, a numbing sensation came from the right trouser pocket.

He Wei took out his cell phone and the caller ID read: Chen Zeyang.

As He Wei listened to Chen Zeyang's words on the phone, his face became more and more ugly, until he hung up the phone, his brows were almost knitted together.

Bai Ji'an looked sideways and said, "What's wrong?"

"Something happened, lock the door and follow me."

After saying that, He Wei put his phone back in his pocket and stepped towards the parking lot.

After Bai Ji'an hurriedly packed everything in the store, he opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.

"where?"

"Leyuanshan Anjia Road, villa area."

"What case?"

He Wei sighed and answered the question, "I really didn't expect that you would encounter such a big thing the day after you came back."

Ordinary murder cases would never make Howie say the words "such a big deal".

"Speak straight."

"The current situation in the villa is unknown. The person who made the report is the second landlord of the villa. According to him, a few days ago he rented out the vacant villa online on a daily basis. In order to make money, he also specifically promised that the tenants would meet Arrange to prepare meals. This morning, four tenants came. Later, the second landlord went out for something. When he came back, the door of the villa was locked. He opened the door and smelled a very strong smell of gas and blood. Because of fear, others did not If he dares to enter the house, he doesn’t know what’s going on inside.”

Bai Ji'an nodded, indicating that he understood.

He turned his head and looked at the navigation between the two of them. It was less than half an hour's drive from the destination.

"It's actually so close."

He Wei hummed: "It seems we should be the first to arrive."

Sure enough, when He Wei parked his car at the entrance of the courtyard, the second landlord was pacing nervously back and forth in the courtyard alone.

"Are you the landlord?" He Wei strode into the yard and asked, unfolding the certificate in his hand.

When the second landlord saw that it was a police officer, he immediately felt relieved.

"Yes...I am."

"Is there anyone inside? Do you know how many people there are?"

He Wei rushed towards the door of the villa. As soon as he stepped up the steps, he smelled a strong smell of gas.

The second landlord was not sure. He only knew from the phone reservation that the number of people at the party was seven. Then he went out for something and it was like this when he came back. As for whether anyone came again later, he didn't know.

It couldn't be a mass suicide.

He Wei ran to the window nearby and took a look. Through the gap and through the layers of obstacles, there was really a black figure leaning on the back of the chair, motionless.

There is someone in there!

Realizing the seriousness, He Wei opened the door of the villa and was about to rush in when he was held back by Bai Ji'an.

"Don't go in. If you go in without checking the carbon monoxide concentration, do you want to die?"

"But there's someone inside!"

"Listen to me." Bai Ji'an held He Wei tightly, "With such a strong gas smell, this house must be full of carbon monoxide. If you enter rashly, you will either die or be injured."

He Wei understood that he was here to save people, not to die.

He nodded and regained his composure, "The specific gravity of carbon monoxide is lighter than air and floats at the top. It will be safer if I crawl in."

"No." Bai Ji'an said, "No one knows what's going on inside. If you crawl in, you may destroy the scene."

"Then what?!"

He must save people.

"Let's ventilate it first."

Bai Ji'an quickly walked to the corner of the yard and pulled out two ordinary shovels and a snow shovel from a pile of gardening tools.

Howie took the shovel and the snow shovel, waved his hand, and threw one of the shovels to the panicked second landlord.

"help!"

In this situation, the second landlord's legs are weak, let alone his brain.

He trembled: "What, what are you doing?"

Bai Ji'an shouted: "Smash it!"

After saying that, click! Click! The glass windows on the first floor exploded one after another under the swing of the shovel.

The scene before him frightened the second landlord.

Even if something big happened to the house, he never forgot that the villa was not his at all.

He stood there blankly, thinking about the big landlords in the future, whether they smashed them or not.

"What are you doing? Help!"

He Wei's roar frightened the second landlord's legs even more weakly. His whole body trembled, his feet were unsteady, and he fell onto the stone road with a thud, causing pain in his tailbone.

After smashing all the glass, He Wei threw down the snow shovel, opened the door and rushed into the room without saying a word.

Bai Ji'an followed closely and went straight to where the figure was.

As soon as he entered the house, there was still the pungent smell of gas in the air. In addition, there was an indescribable smell of rust.

The scene Howie saw through the window was in the living room between the kitchen and dining room.

Two people in tandem. Even though a large amount of air had entered through the smashed window, He Wei and Bai Ji'an still did not dare to be careless and covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves.

until you reach your destination.

The scene before him made it difficult for Howie not to imagine this villa as a hell on earth.

There was blood all over the ground.

For a moment, he was stunned in place, and slowly put down the arm that had been covering his mouth and nose since he entered the door.

The small living room is more than twenty square meters. Seven people, four men and three women, each sat on a painted red wooden chair, with their hands tied behind their backs on the back of the chair. There was a thick hemp rope tied twice around their chests and around their backs.

They were surrounded by the murderer in a tight circle, as if they were playing some strange game with a curse. The expressions on the faces of the people sitting in a circle had long since disappeared. Their necks were limp and their bloodless heads were hanging down.

On the chest, black and red blood stains were like a blooming peony, extending from the center of the wound to all sides, the size of an adult's hand.

The blood flowed from the injury, slid to the stomach, passed through the middle of the thigh, dripped to the ground, and continued to grow.

Little by little, until it merges with the red liquid on the opposite side to form a cross pool of blood.

In the cross pool of blood, among the seven people, only the four located in the southeast, northwest and northwest were bleeding heavily, and the remaining three had no obvious external injuries.

Bai Ji'an glanced at He Wei, and then the two of them had a tacit understanding to find someone suitable for his inspection.

Judging from the amount of bleeding, anyone with obvious wounds must have died.

But the remaining three people who didn't bleed may not be so.

He Wei immediately probed the carotid artery of the man who had not been bleeding recently. Boom, boom, the weak beating made his eyes widen in an instant.

"Ji An! Still alive!"
