The Hulk of the Wandering Sky

Chapter 261 Ten Corpses in the Sewer
In the office, Liu Hao and the others were still having a simple conversation, originally thinking about how to find out the enemy.

But unexpectedly, an equally vicious tragedy happened in the old city in broad daylight morning.

Hearing what Inspector Sam said, Jerome stood up from his seat in a jerk, with an expression of disbelief evident on his face.

"Take me to the crime scene right now." The detective nodded.

Then several people in the police car driving quickly came to the scene of the crime.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be in the water.

"In the past, the sewers in the old city were very developed. During the war, in order to prevent the enemy's aerial bombing, a large number of air defense facilities and air defense shelters were built in the sewers. Later, because of the fire in the library, those air defense facilities were still there. The map of the air-raid shelter was burned in the fire, and no one knows how many sewers and air-raid shelters were built under the city during the war."

When Jerome was young, he also went to play in the air-raid shelter.

Below the sea city is a large rock base. Although it is very strong, it is very easy to use to build various defensive fortifications.

Haicheng is the most important production city of automobiles and various parts in North America, and it was also an important place for aircraft bombing back then.

So there are not only air-raid shelters built by the government, but also air-raid shelters built by various private institutions, and even many homeless people live in the sewers.

"Where is the victim?"

"It's not far below the mouth of this sewer well under our feet."

"There were a total of 10 victims, all of whom died in the same way, but when we found out, those victims were estimated to have been dead for nearly half a month."

Jerome frowned, took a heavy puff of the cigarette, and spit out a smoke ring from his mouth. This time, the opponent he encountered was quite difficult.

"I didn't expect that he died half a month ago. That is to say, when the tragedy happened, the killer didn't kill anyone for at least two weeks. Why is this?"

Jerome wanted to do his best to find out the characteristics of the murderer.

At first he thought that the murderer was just a lunatic who murdered passionately, but now it seems that he was a targeted massacre.

But what are the characteristics of this goal?There was not a single thread in Jerome's mind.

But in Liu Hao's heart, alarm bells were ringing.

Half a month ago.

Wasn't that when Hilton and the others appeared in the world, at that time they appeared in the world, preparing for the war ceremony.

Could it be that the target of the killer is those who are preparing for the war ceremony?
Although Liu Hao's heart was full of doubts, he did not express this guess.

He was going to investigate on his own.

Jerome extinguished the cigarette, and then said to the detective: "Anyway, you take me down to see what the scene of the victim's death looks like?"

The police inspector nodded. In fact, in his heart, he didn't care about these things.

After all, so far, the victims who have died are just ordinary workers in the old city, and will not cause any waves in the public opinion of the whole society.

Even so far, the range of people killed by the murderer is still in the old city.

To them, the noble Tianlong people who live in the new city will not be included in the target of the murderer.

If this is the case, then why should they care about these civilians living in the old city? After all, these people did not pay taxes to support the police station.

Instead, they have to use the police station to subsidize them. Anyway, many policemen and detectives think this thing is really stupid.

So Inspector Sam added: "Just take a look, Jerome, the brothers were very tired last night, and now you want to do this kind of thing, I don't think you should be persistent, this one Let's stop here, even if the murderer is a lunatic, it won't affect us."

After saying these words, Jerome's expression changed instantly. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion, as if there was a piece of ice in his eye socket.

"You know what you're talking about, Sam!"

Seeing the sudden change in Jerome's face, the inspector knew that what he said was too much, so he quickly apologized.

But Jerome didn't care about Sam at all, but pushed him away brutally and walked into the sewer.

In fact, Jerome can also understand the reason why the inspector said this. After all, the salaries and all the equipment of the police in North America come from taxpayers in the cities, not from the federal government.

This makes the North American police essentially a group of bodyguards, rather than people who uphold the law and justice. Of course, being a bodyguard is to serve those who pay.

Although these civilians in the old city also pay taxes, they usually pay the least tax, and the tax they pay never includes the police's salary. Even these people in the old city don't like the police entering their in the community.

Although Liu Hao and the others stood on the street, in fact, if only one or two police officers entered the old city, they would definitely be followed or even directly driven out.

This is because there are so many of them, so they stayed here, but Liu Hao could still see many pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark alleys and dilapidated high-rises around them.

As long as these policemen make other untimely actions, I am afraid that many people will take out their guns.

That's why many police officers are extremely uneasy.

Many people only drive police cars into the old city in the middle of the night.

Because late at night in the old town is the quietest.

There is nothing to fear when the police are outnumbered.

Walk to the sewer.

A disgusting stench of corruption came out from the sewers. The sewers in the old city hadn't been cleaned all year round, and the sewage in them had flooded the steps of the sewers.

Walking on it, every time I step on it, I don't know what it is, the deep and shallow mud.

Jerome, who was leading the way, obviously didn't care about these things, and soon came to a platform where the tragedy happened.

This is obviously a gathering place for homeless people. It turns out that there is a bridge hole not far away to get here, but that bridge hole is not in the old city, but in the new rich community opposite.

The police did not dare to enter the rich community, and then came to the scene of the crime through the bridge hole, so they could only come here through the sewer.

Frowning, Jerome squatted next to the rotting corpse. Sure enough, there was a long wound on his back, from which the heart was taken out.

"There was also no heart found in the corpse, but the cassock can confirm that the time of death should be within half a month. It is definitely not what happened in the past few days, and the victim's blood was found around."

A policeman stuffed his nose with cotton and said hummingly.
