Criminal Investigation: Satan's Forest

Love does not know where it started, and it goes deep, which is the most beautiful love.

Hate does not know where it comes from, it goes deep into the bone marrow, it is the coldest human nature.

Original sin is magnified, and there is always a corner that reflects itself.

—— Keigo Higashino "Maliciousness"

At six in the morning, Yancheng was cloudy and rainy, like waking up from a hangover, gloomy streets, gloomy street lights, and gloomy traffic.It's like not being ready for the rain yet.Even the wind is wrapped in a layer of gloom that is difficult to shake off, and the whole city is soaked in an inescapable darkness, struggling to its heart's content.

Wending Plaza is located on a commercial street in the south of Yancheng Development Zone. This commercial street was built five years ago. As the focus of the South Street, "Wending Plaza" has been the most popular Times Square since its completion. one.Even though it hadn't come to the moment when it really woke up, coupled with the bad weather, people in twos and threes could still be seen crossing the square one after another, heading for the nearest subway entrance.

An hour and a half later, the sky finally became brighter, and the flow of people in the square gradually increased, as if they were being injected with tides, rushing in all directions.A young man in uniform walked out of a security booth in one part of the square. He was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Walk.If you don't get close, it's hard to find a wireless headset in the man's ear.

At the same time, a homeless man came out of the subway entrance and headed for the trash can on the side of the square.

An invisible net is spreading silently, and everything seems to be happening peacefully...

There was a parking area opposite the square. Lu Lingfeng sat sideways in the car, looking at a certain place outside the window.His eye circles were black, and the red bloodshot eyes were faintly visible, which was obviously due to lack of sleep.When the fifth cigarette was about to be exhausted, his eyes still didn't move the slightest.

The soot fell on the jacket inadvertently, and the jumping Mars kissed the fabric, leaving its "mark" of love immediately.

At this time, Cheng Chengcheng, the policewoman sitting in the passenger seat, finally couldn't help but speak:

"Captain Lu, you old man will show mercy and make less nicotine, okay?" Cheng Chengcheng said while opening the window a three-finger width, trying to get rid of the thick smell of smoke in the car.

It was also hard for her, as the only lesbian in the team, not only did she not get treated like a princess, but she also hung around behind a group of rough men all day long.At the end of the day, the smell of cigarettes all over her body is disgusted wherever she goes, especially on the subway and bus, the passengers next to her frown and cover their noses, wishing to be eight feet away from her.

But Lu Lingfeng, who is the captain, often teases her: You are so manly, you save yourself the trouble of wearing perfume, criminals don't dare to think badly of you when they smell it.

"My skin is almost sallow enough. If you smoke more second-hand smoke, you will soon lose a capable subordinate."

Lu Lingfeng ignored her, put out the cigarette butt in the paper cup beside him, picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke in a seventy-decade voice: "Yan Wang, what are you going to play by running to the trash can? You are hungry and ready to dig through the trash eat?"

Lu Lingfeng's rough voice came from the wireless earphones, and Jiang Yan, a police officer of the task force, lowered his head and pretended to look into the trash can. He lowered his voice and said, "I'm worried that the kid will come out of the subway entrance. It's too conspicuous for me to sit there. , it is easy to arouse the little devil's suspicion."

"Stop talking nonsense, go to No. [-] point to guard. Grandson, don't move for a while, and the people in other positions are the same. If anyone runs around without my order, turn around and hand in your legs to me directly. Do you hear clearly?"

The other end of the walkie-talkie said in unison: "Listen clearly!"

Chen Feng forced his way in through the cracks in the car window, Lu Lingfeng frowned, and muttered: "Everyone pay attention, the kid may have mixed in with the crowd by now."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yan and Sun Yibo's nerves tensed up again.Cheng Chengcheng also stared at the monitoring screen on the computer screen with more concentration. Because she was too concentrated, she clearly felt the nerves on both sides of her temples beating continuously.

At 41:[-]:[-], a scene like this appeared on the screen: a woman in a white sweater was hit by another man in a black coat and immediately fell to the ground... Cheng Chengcheng noticed something unusual Finally, just as she was about to speak, Lu Lingfeng had already said before her:

"Call and let the ambulance arrive."

After finishing speaking, he turned to the intercom again and said: "Attention everyone, the kid is wearing a black coat and black sneakers, and is near point four. Hades, he is heading in your direction, be careful, he has a knife in his hand. After finishing speaking, Lu Lingfeng opened the car door and jumped out of the car, wrapped in a gust of cold wind, ran towards the exit on the west side of the back door of the square.

"Received!" Just as Jiang Yan finished speaking, there was a sharp noise on the intercom.

It took only a few tens of seconds for Lu Lingfeng to run to the entrance and exit on the west side. When he arrived, the security guard who just walked out of the security booth in the square also ran towards the other side.

"He ran away, and Yan Wang and a few brothers from the other team went after him."

The person who spoke was Sun Yibo, who was also a police officer of the Yancheng Criminal Task Force.

At this time, Cheng Chengcheng's voice came from the intercom. "Army, Army,"

Lu Lingfeng frowned impatiently, "Say!"

"Caught it! The kid was arrested at point five."

Immediately, Lu Lingfeng and others rushed to the No. [-] guard point that had been arranged in advance. Two police officers disguised as passers-by were escorting a man in black and walking towards him.The man was of medium height and didn't look physically strong. His hands were handcuffed behind his back, his head was slightly lowered, and a pair of evil eyes stared straight at Lu Lingfeng. live crazy.

Lu Lingfeng ignored his arrogance, but his eyes fell on a scar like a flesh-colored centipede on the man's forehead.

This criminal known as "little devil" is exactly the "Rainy Square Butcher" that has been reported by major media these days.

Half a month ago, a young woman suddenly fell to the ground and died in a square in Beishi, Yancheng.After a forensic autopsy, it was found that the woman died of excessive blood loss due to a punctured spleen with a sharp object.Since there were few people in the square area where the incident happened, and it was raining that day, no one witnessed the incident or the murderer's physical signs.Although the police retrieved the surveillance video, they only captured a vague shadow without any valuable clues.

In this way, the murderer disappeared in the square on a rainy day like a ghost after committing the crime.

Just a week after the incident, a similar case happened again, the method of committing the crime was the same as the first case, the murder was also committed on a rainy day, the same square with less traffic, the same woman walking alone, the same...no one left any trace.

Since then, Yancheng City has been shrouded in the haze of "the butcher in the rainy day square", and many citizens are even afraid of rainy days.

However, just when the police were battered and the public's sense of panic was growing, the third case happened again quietly.In the past ten days, this so-called "Rainy Square Butcher" committed three consecutive crimes in different areas of Yancheng. The targets of the crimes were all women, resulting in the death of three people.

This serial murder case attracted the great attention of the Yancheng City Police Station. During the heyday of the limelight, Lu Lingfeng, the captain of the Yancheng City Criminal Task Force, took over the case against the pressure exerted by the upper echelons.

So there is the beginning of this one.

Seeing the criminal being escorted into the police car, Lu Lingfeng turned around and said to his subordinates, "Come back!"

No. 14 days after the first case occurred, on the TV screen, after the head of the Yancheng Police Station shouted "We will finally give the general public a safe rainy day", the Rainy Day Square Butcher case was announced to be solved.

After work that day, Lu Lingfeng drove to the supermarket, and when he came out, he was carrying four extra-large shopping bags in both hands.Although Lu Lingfeng was in his mid-thirties, he maintained a good figure. In addition to his resolute and tough appearance, thick eyebrows and sharp eyes, he exuded the unique temperament of a criminal policeman who is not angry but powerful.Lu Lingfeng strode across the road, and many young women couldn't help but take a second look when they passed by him.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Lingfeng drove the car into a single-family villa on Qichuan Avenue in Yancheng. He took out the key from the side pocket of his trousers and opened the door of the villa.After entering the house, when he was about to pass through the hallway, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to change his shoes.

An impatient expression appeared on Lu Lingfeng's face, and he threw the shopping bags in both hands on the ground.

"Uncle Sen, you really treat yourself as an uncle, come out and help me."

Unsurprisingly, he didn't get any response, he seemed to be talking to himself in the air.After Lu Lingfeng changed his shoes cursingly, he walked into the living room and saw a young man sitting on the sofa.

The man only wore a dark gray shirt on his upper body, and the cuffs were rolled up to reveal his white and strong forearms. He was looking intently at the stack of white paper documents in his hand with his eyes downcast.The man's skin was abnormally white, as if it had never been damaged by the sun's ultraviolet rays, it was so white that it almost glowed.He has a leisurely demeanor, with a clear breath exuding from his brows, like a legendary vampire prince.

The man didn't raise his head to give Lu Lingfeng a straight look from the beginning to the end.

The more Lu Lingfeng thought about it, the more angry he became, but he still suppressed the anger that was about to burst out from his seven orifices, and ran to the kitchen with a 'battabada', and after carefully putting away the things he bought, he gradually regained his senses.He walked back to the living room again, and sat down on the sofa opposite the man, reaching out to take a cigarette out of his pocket, but after looking up at the face opposite, he put his arms on the sofa lazily. Spread out on the soft backrest.

But his mouth was still not calm: "That stinky dog ​​in my house can't even take care of it, and even came here to be your nanny, tell me what kind of shit this is."

Finally, there was a change on the face of the person opposite, he frowned slightly, his eyes were still lowered, and he said lightly without raising his head:

"Next time you come in, you don't need to change your shoes."

Lu Lingfeng raised his eyebrows and glanced at him in surprise, then snorted coldly, "Usually you push so many things, but today you finally found out your conscience?"

The man still didn't look up, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, covered his tall nose, and said expressionlessly: "Your beriberi makes me feel sick and suffocated."

There was an undisguised disgust in the lazy and deep voice.

After Lu Lingfeng heard it, he wished he could trample the man's self-righteous face under the soles of his feet and rub it back and forth.However, he knew that the possibility of that was very small, so he crossed his legs like revenge and kept shaking, trying to let the so-called "beriberi" scatter in the too pure air in the room.

Although Lu Lingfeng knew that men had a sense of smell several times higher than ordinary people.

He said in a serious manner: "Why didn't I smell it? Who made you have a dog's nose." Then the subject changed, "Okay, let's get down to business. You should have read the news, the kid caught it."

The man finally put down the document in his hand, removed the handkerchief covering his nose, and when he raised his eyes, Lu Lingfeng's gaze met his.
