[Comprehensive British and American Drama] Vibrant Soul

When Victor and his party arrived at 9081 Tiklis Avenue in the Eastern District of Washington, the place was already surrounded by heavy police cars.

"What are you doing?!" Without looking at Hodge's face, Victor's own face immediately became even uglier.

"Report sir, the moment we received your instruction, we surrounded this place as quickly as possible." The police officer in charge at the scene reported.

"Are you sure no one left from here?" Victor looked at the police officer in charge at the scene.

"Report sir, not even a single ant escaped!" The police officer's response was very forceful.

"Please be more pragmatic! At night like this, can you guys see ants?! Ah?! Also, what's the matter with such a big fight?! Don't tell me, you guys have already been the first to scare the snake from the beginning !” Victor glared at the officer.

"This, this..." The police officer looked at Victor, speechless and didn't know what to say.

"What are you doing in a daze, and why don't you act immediately to minimize the loss!" Victor put down the words resentfully, and immediately started leading the assault team towards the dilapidated apartment building.

Without any pause, under Victor's vigorous command, the police officers quickly completely sealed off all the entrances and exits of this dilapidated building, and immediately controlled the elevator room, monitoring room and basement on the first floor, and then, Victor Duo led the raid team, according to the address he asked from the night shift administrator, he rushed straight to the destination aggressively.

Soon, the door of the target room was sandwiched between two pieces of bread by the police.

The door of the room is a slightly thin wooden door without any anti-theft measures. It doesn't look like a place where people from a security company would choose to live.

After using the endoscopic snake-shaped detection head to confirm that there was no threat inside, Victor gave an order, and the thin wooden door immediately fell down with the impact of the door breaker.

"Here are the police, raise your hands immediately!" Accompanied by the policemen who filed in, the loud warning sound immediately echoed around the room.

However, before the police officers could go any further, their footsteps as they entered the living room were immediately stopped by the scene in front of them:

In the very center of the living room, a tall man wearing a large white linen robe was fixed with a cross-shaped wooden frame and hung in the mid-air of the living room.The tall man, whose blood was still dripping on the ground, stared blankly at the people below with his eyes glued to the eyelids with tape.

And on the white wall behind him, a sentence written in blood that seemed to be ready to come out was directly in everyone's sight: "There are seven things that the heart hates, namely: haughty eyes, lying tongue , hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises evil schemes, feet that are quick to run to evil, a false witness who utters lies, and a man who sows divisions among brethren."

In a dark room, the same picture is displayed on the screen of a neatly arranged laptop computer.

The blood of the corpse had already stained half of the floor of the living room, and the pungent smell of blood made some young police officers couldn't help it immediately.

"Hurry up and vomit outside!" Victor glared with stern eyes.

The other party seemed to have no time to say anything, and immediately ran out quickly, and then, very quickly, the sound of "wow" vomiting came in immediately and clearly.

Victor's expression turned even worse.

In the dark room, the mysterious man who saw this scene through the computer screen showed a mocking smile.

"The blood hasn't clotted, the muscles haven't stiffened yet, and the body spots haven't formed yet. It seems that the victim was killed within half an hour, and the murderer probably hasn't fled away." Reid immediately turned to look at Victor.

"The people shown in the surveillance camera in the monitoring room are all regular residents of this building, and no suspicious faces have been found." Harold had already used his laptop to connect to the computer system in the monitoring room on the first floor, and checked In the shortest time, facial recognition software was used to compare the facial recognition and data of all people who entered and exited the apartment building within 10 minutes of the video, and a conclusion was drawn.

"When did you form the encirclement here?" Victor looked at the police officer in charge.

"Report to the police officer, this place has been surrounded four or ten minutes ago!" The police officer in charge began to feel a little nervous.

Rossi: "That is to say, this Sergey Ivanov failed to attack Lena and fled here shortly after he was surrounded by the police. But why didn't they try to escape, but risked it at any time?" The danger of being caught by the police, kill Ivanov first, and spend all your time to arrange the place like this?"

"Are you sure you didn't get the time wrong?" Victor's gaze at the police officer in charge became sharper.

"Report sir, there is absolutely nothing wrong!" The police officer in charge finally managed not to catch his breath. "And, I can assure you that since then, no one in this apartment building has left the encirclement."

"From four or ten minutes ago to now, there are only five people in the video who have entered and exited this apartment, but none of them have left the confines of this apartment. At the same time, their identities have also been confirmed. So, all this follows That's what the officer said." Harold confirmed what the officer in charge said.

Reid continued to speculate: "Now it seems that there are two possibilities for all this. One, the other party is confident, he is very sure that he can definitely escape from here, and can complete all this before the police search here. From the victim Judging by the smooth cuts on the corpse, the murderer has definitely received professional training, and his skills are enough to allow him to easily complete all this in a short period of time; second, although the other party is also afraid of being caught by the police, but, Ivanov knows a lot of important things, so he must be silenced. At the same time, this ritual after the murder is very important to him. Even at the cost of being blocked by the police, he must give it to Finish."

Hodge looked at the words on the wall and said, "No matter what the possibility is, I can be sure that Ivanov must die, and this ritual is also very important to the murderer."

The mysterious man in the dark room has been carefully listening to the profiles of several people through the screen. When Hozzy came to a conclusion, the mysterious man let out an admiration of "Oh", and he couldn't help but gently clap his hands to show his appreciation. Compliments from several people.

Reina: "Then it looks like the murderer should still be hiding in this apartment."

Harold: "However, because this apartment is too old, except for the cameras on the front and back doors, the cameras in other places have almost stopped working. It seems that we can only use the most primitive ones for this search. way."

Hearing what Harold said, the mysterious person in the dark room couldn't help raising his head slightly, and saw that it was on the wall opposite the room, in a huge monitoring wall composed of countless screens like the monitoring room on the first floor Every action of the police and residents in the dilapidated apartment building is in front of the eyes of the mysterious man, even the actions of Xiao, who has been hiding in the dark upstairs on the opposite floor and observing everything here through the scope of a sniper rifle, are all visible to the mysterious person. It was clearly seen by the mysterious man through the screen.

There was a hint of pride on the face of the mysterious man.

"What are you doing in a daze?! Why don't you hurry up and send someone to set up the cordon! Then notify the headquarters, send more reinforcements here, and at the same time, send another three teams up! Hurry up, don't you want to let the suspect escape once more? Is it?!" Victor, whose face was always black, seemed to be eating the police officer in charge alive.

The police officer in charge at the scene did not dare to neglect, and immediately turned around to deploy.

"He should be Sergei Ivanov, that's right." Lena took a step forward and clearly saw the clear tattoo with the sun mark on the right forearm of Ivanov's corpse.

"It seems that the other party doesn't seem to intend to blame everything on this Ivanov." Suppressing the pungent smell of blood, Harold, who put on gloves, has already arrived at the station and placed it at a distance. The corpse was not far from the laptop on the computer desk, and immediately began to check the data in the computer, "The data from the camera is still on this computer, and the historical operation records of the computer do not show these data. There are traces of secondary processing or copying."

"Maybe it's too late to set the blame." Lena said, "After all, judging from the time of the other party's attack, it's not long before we arrived here. Maybe this Sergei Ivanov failed because of sniping me and Rhett. , so they rushed here one step ahead of us. The other party did not expect us to find them so quickly and complete the siege here, so this accomplice of Ivanov simply did not do anything, taking advantage of Ivanov While distracted by the police, sneaked up on Ivanov and brutally killed him, and set up the place like this before the police came up. But, he just finished all this, and we arrived, Helpless, he had no choice but to hide on the top first, of course, it may be possible to hide in the place he found with ease, watching what we are doing may also be possible."

"Although it's just a coincidence, it's considered that you have some ability." Faced with Leina's profile, the mysterious man said flatly with complacency.

Hodge: "It seems that the person who killed Ivanov should be the third person we are looking for."

Victor was puzzled: "Hodge, why do you say that?"

"There are no traces of copying or processing of these raw data, which means that the person who can secretly transfer the video to the traffic camera should be doing everything here." Lena looked at Harold.

"This inference should be correct." Harold nodded.

"I've done a preliminary inspection. Ivanov's fatal injury was a heavy blow to the back of the head. Moreover, there were no traces of defensive injuries on his arms or other parts of his body." Reid carefully put down Ivanov. Vanov's right arm, "Ivanov is so strong and has received professional training. Even if he is injured, he cannot be attacked or sneaked so easily. Therefore, if it is not for someone he is very familiar with, It's almost impossible."

"Or, he lived here." While speaking, Rossi had already walked out of the bathroom, holding a towel and a water glass in his hand, "It seems that the murderer fled in a hurry. , I haven't had time to clean up all the traces related to him."
