[British and American Drama] The murderer is in sight

It is already [-] o'clock in the evening. At this time, many families in this town have already finished their after-dinner activities and are ready to go to sleep. After all, they also need to work.

The sheriff who was working overtime at the police station also received a call from Hu Qi while he was half asleep.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be running, his breath was very uneven, and he could vaguely hear the rustling voice of the person over there talking in a low voice.

Then he was informed of an address, saying that some clues may have been found, and he hoped that the police would assist in the investigation.

Karl sat there in a daze and thought for more than a minute before he vaguely remembered that the address was in the western suburbs, an abandoned house.

Before he became the sheriff, the house was already there, no one lived there, dilapidated was the only impression people in the town had of it, and because of its dilapidated and uninhabited place, it was Some daring children's hangout, but the house took on a dark tinge when the body of a boy from a past expedition was found in it one day.

Some people say that the owner of the room was woken up by the boy playing in it, and he was killed by the owner of the house.

After he became the sheriff, he also had the authority to access the files, which also solved his doubts in his youth. The kid went on an adventure with his friends on a rainy day, because it was raining all the time in those days, and the house was very old, so the stone There was some moss on the steps. The unlucky boy slipped when he stepped on it, fell backwards, hit his head on the steps, and fell into a coma on the spot. The children who were waiting for him thought he had gone home before he came back. They all went back on their own, and it wasn't until the child's parents came to find that the little friend had passed away.

It's just that the sheriff at the time considered that if the matter was known to the public, the children's friends at that time would be judged by the people around them, so they suppressed the matter and did not announce it to the public, and those children moved quickly. out of town.

At this moment, Hu Qi told him that the house over there still needs the police to come forward.

Carl thought of two possibilities. One was the place where Lilith Warren was detained and raped, which they had never found. The ring was a bit beyond recognition, but the wounds caused after death and the wounds caused before death were still easy to identify in the eyes of the forensic doctor. Lilith disappeared a week ago, and then died of starvation and weakness after being subjected to cruel treatment.They found no clues when they searched the storefront of the warehouse where Conrad Clive lived.

So this clue may be the place where Lilith Warren was imprisoned in the first place.

Another possibility is the whereabouts of Conrad Clive, who is currently looking for. Thinking about it this way, that kind of dilapidated house, plus Conrad is also a local should know, isn't it a good hiding place?

After thinking so much in his mind, in fact, after a few minutes, Karl immediately mobilized the available manpower in the round, and put on the equipment himself.

When he went out, he patted the shoulder of the injured police officer. Although this man was transferred from other places, he worked very hard. He was also injured on duty this time. We should be more considerate in the current situation, "Paul, you stay here Police station, pay attention to rest."

The young police officer named Paul nodded, and did not disagree with the sheriff's words, but was a little strange, "It's so late, did you find something? So many people were recruited." There was an undisguised look in his eyes. curious.

Karl opened his mouth, but he didn't answer him directly, "It's not the BAU group. It seems that they got some news at night. Let us go to help."

Paul nodded thoughtfully, then watched the large army leave.

Carl didn't want to hide this matter, but the situation has not been fully clarified yet. Even if he is an insider, Paul is still a newcomer. He is worried that the newcomers will stay behind and hear the news and accidentally reveal it, which will cause trouble for them. It is not uncommon for suspects to be disturbed by internal leaks, and veteran police officers know how to keep their mouths shut.

The police car and the BAU team's car arrived in front of the abandoned house one after the other, saying it was a house rather than an old manor.

It has that kind of ancient aristocratic atmosphere.

Hu Qi and the others were wearing body armor, and Carl came over with a big thorn, greeted them, and asked him the questions he wanted to know.

"Where did you get the news? If you hadn't told me about this place today, I would have really forgotten that there is such a place in the western suburbs."

Hu Qi turned his head to look at Lance who was adjusting his body armor, "My team members met a cleaning staff in the hotel, who looked familiar but walked away, but then a note was stuffed under the gap in the room." Don't look at Hu Qi's upright appearance, in fact, the art of speaking is also superb.

When Lance heard this, he took the initiative to come over and answer, "Yes, I just thought it looked familiar at the time, but after thinking about it later, it seems to be the Conrad we are looking for." He tightened his waist and did not look at Carl "Afterwards, we went to the hotel to adjust the surveillance, and the person had disappeared from the hotel, and we couldn't find him for the time being, but since the address is here, let's take a look."

Carl's expression was a little stiff, and he sighed after a while, "Sly fellow."

"In short, it may be a trap, so be careful."

Carl nodded.

A group of people entered the manor quietly and quickly. To be honest, it is not a good idea to explore the manor at night. The visibility is too low. The only light except for the clear and cold moon above the head is the flashlight that comes with it.

Karl was in his prime, and led the crowd to the front. He knew the terrain here, and he was one of the brave boys more than ten years ago.

"There is no electricity in this house, everyone be careful."

The manor is huge, and it will take time to investigate, not to mention such a surprise inspection, the police station can only mobilize a dozen manpower to add up.

It took half an hour to walk through the entire manor.

Now there is a discovery.

This manor is indeed a manor with an ancient atmosphere. There is actually a basement similar to the one in the movie, with small windows with iron bars, stone steps extending down, dilapidated wooden tables, and iron chains embedded in the walls. Opposite There are still some whips and sticks hanging on the walls. The entire medieval torture scene, coupled with the faint stench of the scene, really makes people feel uncomfortable.

Surprisingly, there is a light here, which was hit by a tall person walking.

One of those old-fashioned lights with one wire ripping out one bulb, and a boxy storage generator in the corner of this dungeon-like basement.

A police officer with a slightly older grade fiddled with the light, and the dim yellow light slowly illuminated the place.It was clearer than using a flashlight and relying on the faint moonlight to see it just now, and everyone present also secretly gasped.

There are scattered stacks of dry grass on the stone floor embedded in the iron chain, but the grass has a blackened red color, and there are also many dark colors on the wall, one by one, as if slowly accumulated over the years.

A gust of wind came in through the small window on the fence above everyone's heads, making people shiver, and at the same time, the faint stench became more obvious.

Reid stepped forward and looked, "The hay is a little moldy, but there is still a little green on the pole, it should be the nearest one, and the blood is still sticky."

Karl hurriedly summoned someone to come up and take a sample, and wanted to go back and compare it with Lilith Warren's blood.

Lance wandered around in the dungeon, he was a little curious about the dungeon.

Rossi took out his small notebook and put it back in his pocket. Obviously, this brightness is not suitable for him to take notes.

Lance swayed around, and finally stopped at the southwest corner, which was the opposite corner of the wall embedded with iron chains. In front of him was something like a large square box that was tightly covered by a gray cloth.

He greeted the others, and slowly opened the corner of the gray cloth, a huge cage appeared in his eyes unexpectedly, followed by another tightly closed cage. Eyes, a pale face, a young girl wearing a floral skirt, her hair covered half of her face, Lance didn't know if she opened her eyes now, her exposed legs and arms were full of scars , some almost deep into the bone.

"!!Damnit!" Lance suddenly lifted the cloth completely, stretched out his hand and pulled the cage, only to find that there was a fist-sized lock hanging on the thing.

Langston smiled angrily.

"Hey! Can you hear the words?"

Lance's movement was not small, and the surrounding eyes looked over, and saw that the girls in the cage quickly moved, but there was no key, and the railings between the cages were not far enough for a man's arm to reach in, so there was no way.

It's not that you can't use the wooden warehouse to blow the lock, but the space in this place is small, and the danger of stray bullets is also very high, and it is more likely to hurt the girl who is now alive or dead.

Anxiety spread in the basement. Some police officers had already called an ambulance, and they didn't bring chainsaws with them when they were on duty.

Lance could only hold back his dismay, while thinking about putting a toolbox in the trunk of the car in the future, while looking at the girl curled up in the cage with temptation.

He tapped the edge of the cage with the keychain he carried, and after a long while, he finally saw the girl's slightly curled fingers.

Hu Qi patted Lance on the shoulder, "The ambulance will be here soon."

Carl was taking off his coat, and he nodded, "Yes, we will be there soon."

"Sheriff, do you know this girl?" Hu Qi wondered, "She is relatively small, which doesn't match the figure of the missing girls."

Karl hung his coat on his arm, and upon hearing this, he leaned over to identify it carefully, but the hair was so tight that he couldn't recognize someone he was familiar with for a while.

The author has something to say: Girls, don’t worry, the daily update is over, and the final chapter will be bigger. Love you all?
