i must be in hell

The feet stepped on the ground with sewage, leaving one greasy mark after another.

He stretched out his hand and pushed open the rusted iron door, and the sound spread far and wide in the empty space, as if the door to hell had been opened.

This is a part of the underground waterway in Liming City. Dirt and rats are all over the space, and the highest height is less than 1.5 meters.Now, a criminal policeman who was supposed to be sitting in his office neatly dressed was bending forward in this underground world.

Tick.

The sound of water droplets dripping continuously came from all around, dripping on the sticky ground, making people feel sick.On the narrow aisle that only allows one person to bend over and walk, an unknown creature sprang out from time to time. Their red eyes stared straight at the uninvited guest, as if they were sizing him up.

However, the criminal policeman has no time for him now. He looks at the time on his watch and wonders if he is late.Communication tools such as mobile phones had been discarded by him long before they entered the sewer.He went here and didn't want anyone to know.

Finally, after more than half an hour of groping in the dark, the criminal police stopped in front of the flashing old gate.This gate has maintained the style of the last century, rough workmanship, crude paint.He touched the turn-gate where the paint had come off a little, turned it lightly, and opened the gate.

The inside is like another space, and the field of vision suddenly expands. Compared with the underground waterway outside the gate, the world inside the gate is like a world of difference.The ground was covered with a thick layer of newspapers, and the walls were neatly decorated with wallpaper.Several large shelves were set up in the room, filled with various documents and materials. At first glance, I thought it was a university library.The most noticeable thing is the several computers in the middle of the room.

They are part of the highest technology here, and the flickering screens show that these high-tech products are working, and the master who manipulated them just turned around at this moment.

It was a thin young man, and because he was too thin, his eyes protruded a little scary.

"Ah, it's you." When he saw the criminal policeman, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"You finally came."

The owner of the room waved to the criminal policeman, and said in a tone of greeting to an old friend: "Hurry up, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"kindness."

The criminal police responded softly and closed the gate behind him.

-

Xing Feng's temples were throbbing at this moment, and he just felt a headache.As a detective, he is used to a busy life every day.Whether it is receiving a report of a dismemberment case while eating, or having to deal with a murder case just after being warmed up with his wife.After more than ten years in the industry, he thought he was used to this kind of highly stressful life.

But now, looking at the guy in front of him, he still wanted to shout!

"Are you kidding?"

"No, of course not." Ning Xiao flatly denied it. "Every word and every sentence is true. I suggest that Captain Xing apply for an arrest warrant now to arrest the two suspects."

Of the two suspects, one is naturally the murderer of the murder case that kept them busy early in the morning, and the other, Ning Xiao is referring to is actually Xu Shangyu!

"When did you start to suspect that Xu Shangyu was also involved in this case?" Xing Feng asked, "What about the evidence?"

Just after returning to the force in the afternoon, the consultant made shocking remarks.First of all, he believes that the two cases in the morning were committed by the same murderer, which is a serial murder case.Secondly, he even claimed that the captain of the dignified criminal police team [-] was also involved in these cases!

Up to now, Xing Feng thinks that he can still sit calmly opposite Ning Xiao and listen to his explanation, so he has to admire his concentration.

"After consulting the information of the two deceased, it can be confirmed that this is a serial murder." Ning Xiao ignored his surprise and said indifferently: "In a criminal case, as long as the key connection points are found, the whole The facts of the case. Obviously, the connection between the two deceased is the robbery a few years ago. They were accomplices, and for various reasons neither was severely punished. I have every reason to believe that this is a revenge homicide of a nature."

Ning Xiao stared at Xing Feng: "This is dissatisfaction with legal sanctions, which triggered a murder case against the criminals of the past."

"Isn't this too one-sided?" Xing Feng questioned.

"One-sided? No, the evidence is sufficient." Ning Xiao said, "Have you forgotten the cause of Yuan Li's death?"

Drowning, suffocation.

Xing Feng was taken aback for a moment, remembering that the information showed that the child who was stolen from the head of the household who was killed by Yuan Li's negligence back then died of suffocation.Yuan Li and Zhou Kang conspired to steal, but they did not expect that the six-year-old child of the head of the household was taking a lunch break at home.In a moment of nervousness, Yuan Li covered the child's mouth and nose with a pillow to stop him calling for help, resulting in the child's death.In the end, Yuan Li was only sentenced to three years in prison because she was underage and had no intention of murder.This sentence caused great dissatisfaction among the parents of the children.

Xing Feng also handled that case back then, and he still remembers the angry and desperate eyes of the family members of the deceased.At this time, Ning Xiao mentioned Yuan Li and the child she killed, their very similar causes of death.There was also a trace of doubt in his heart.

Could it be that the victim of the year really came here to take revenge on Yuan Li and Zhou Kang?

"Then, even if Yuan Li carries a life on his back, why should Zhou Kang, who was only involved in the theft, be killed?" Xing Feng said, "It's not in the interest of the victim's family."

Ning Xiao nodded. "So, these two cases were not committed by the victims of the year."

"what?"

"Yuan Li killed a child by mistake, and the family of the child should hate her. But most people would not blame Zhou Kang or even kill Zhou Kang, because he did not participate in Yuan Li's actions. But that is just an ordinary person. As a member of the criminal investigation department, You should be clear. In fact, Zhou Kang is the principal culprit if this case is only about theft." Ning Xiao said: "It was he who instigated Yuan Li and brought Yuan Li who could not control her emotions to the scene. If this theft case only Zhou Kang is a veteran, he basically doesn't know how to attack children. But because of Yuan Li, she couldn't control her fear when she was still a minor. The fear of crime, coupled with the nervousness of committing a crime for the first time, made her commit a crime by mistake. committed an irreparable sin."

Judging from the direct cause of the child's death, it seems to be Yuan Li's personal behavior.But zooming in on the whole level, Zhou Kang, the instigator, has an inescapable responsibility.

"But these factors are impossible for ordinary people to think of..." Xing Feng defended, and froze in the middle of speaking.

Ning Xiao glanced at his expression, and said calmly: "Indeed, people who don't understand criminal investigation and law will never think of these deep-seated reasons. And the people who think of them must be people who understand the structure of criminal cases very well."

For example, a detective.

Ning Xiao concluded: "Judging from the death methods of the two deceased, the murderer's method of killing Yuan Li was very cruel, and the method of killing Zhou Kang showed that he had mastered criminal knowledge different from ordinary people. And if the perpetrator , not the family members of the child who was killed back then. Then, what is the trend for him to do this series of behaviors?"

Xing Feng didn't answer, Ning Xiao simply didn't wait for him, and answered by himself: "The answer is justice."

That's right, the perpetrators of these two cases had this kind of "justice" of self-sacrifice and killed Yuan Li and Zhou Kang.He thought that since the law could not punish these murderers, he might as well do it himself.Do justice for the sky, punish rape and eliminate evil.

With this radical means, to defend the justice in his ideal.For a person who can do this kind of behavior, his own sense of justice is so strong that it is a little distorted.

Xing Feng only felt that his throat was a little hoarse. "Even so, what does it have to do with Xu Shangyu?"

"At first, I also thought that it didn't matter." Ning Xiao smiled wryly: "However, judging from the series of behaviors after his mother's disappearance, I can no longer remove the suspicion for him."

The restaurant where Xu Shangyu made an appointment to have lunch together happened to be the place where Zhou Kang died.Is this just a coincidence?

He deliberately delayed the time and didn't go to the detention center to pick up his mother. Is there really no other reason?

And why did you leave without saying goodbye this time?

The most important point is that in this case, the murderer's extraordinary sense of justice is somewhat self-evidently similar to Xu Shangyu.The difference is that Xu Shangyu has been using his identity as a criminal policeman to demand himself, and he will not act in violation of the law.However, what if the critical point is exceeded?If you endure it for too long, will it explode instead?

"No matter what role he plays in this case." Ning Xiao sighed, "The fact that he participated can no longer be erased."

At least, Xu Shangyu knew about his mother's disappearance, and even let the other party do it.

Ning Xiao still remembers the conversation he had with Xu Shangyu on the way back from the detention center to the police station.Xu Shangyu, who never liked to talk about family affairs, actually talked about his parents to him.This may be a sign of his departure.

However, at that time Ning Xiao hadn't expected that Xu Shangyu would make such a move.

He sighed and looked at Xing Feng.

"Please submit an arrest application as soon as possible."

With that said, he got up and left the office.

Ning Xiao didn't say goodbye to anyone, and left the police station alone.

Standing upstairs, Ji Yuqiu and intern Yu Meng watched him go farther and farther and disappear at the end of the street.

"What happened to Lao Xu, Ning Xiao must be the saddest." Ji Yuqiu said, "The two of them have been inseparable recently, and the feeling of being betrayed must be uncomfortable."

Yu Meng looked at the end of the street, something flashed in his eyes, and finally he just nodded silently.

However, another major event happened in Liming City that night.

A member of the Heye team who was detained for investigation, a sniper code-named Qingfu, escaped from prison!

The water in the pool became more and more muddy, which seemed to symbolize that the final battle between black and white had finally begun.
