From the orphanage out is already five o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Xiaotao drove the car back to the city, found a grilled fish restaurant to invite us to dinner.
She was on the phone the whole time we were eating, being the task force leader seemed pretty busy.
When she put down the phone, I asked, "Any progress?"
"There's not much substantial progress so far, the best time to investigate a murder is within forty-eight hours, this body was found too late, I'm worried that it might be a protracted battle!" Huang Xiaotao frowned, a little sullen.
"It would be good if there was another body ...," said Dali Wang.
We both glared at him, and Wang Dali awkwardly explained, "Isn't that always the formula in movies, one dead body after another before the real culprit is caught."
"Crow's mouth!" Huang Xiaotao scolded indignantly.
"However, what Wang Dali said may not be impossible, this case is not a revenge killing, it's more like a targeted serial killing! Seven days, I'm worried that somewhere in the city, there's already a second murder victim." I said.
"White Night retaliated against his own mother for abandoning him, that's why he specialized in killing prostitutes - how is this a bit like Jack the Ripper?" Huang Xiaotao said.
"Yeah, I feel the same way." I nodded.
"Then will it be the same as the Jack the Ripper case, which can't be detected either?" Wang Dali said.
"Can you spit out ivory from your mouth?" Huang Xiaotao gave him a blank look.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, can't we eat?" At this time, the waiter brought up the milkshake ordered by Huang Xiaotao, as soon as Wang Dali saw the milkshake, probably remembering the situation during the autopsy last night, he suddenly covered his mouth and rushed to the bathroom.
"A living treasure!" Huang Xiaotao was so angry that she laughed out loud.
After dinner, Huang Xiaotao planned to send us back, by this time it was already dark, and the police station was quite far from our school, I didn't want her to make an extra trip, so I told her to go back first! Wang Dali and I took public transportation.
Before leaving, Huang Xiaotao said, "The current clues on hand still need to run through, I'll call again when I need your help."
"OK!" I replied.
The next two days were safe and sound, this night Huang Xiaotao suddenly called and said in an extraordinarily serious tone, "Song Yang, someone may have been killed again tonight, can you come over?"
"What happened?" I asked.
"I'll have Wang Aid Chao pick you up, wait for his car in front of the school." After saying that, Huang Xiaotao hung up the phone.
Wang Dali had just fallen asleep at this time, was shaken awake by me, and said reluctantly, "How come it's nighttime every time, this bitch is the vampire that comes out by day and night ..."
"Come or not, do not come I go myself!" I said.
"Come come, wait for me to get dressed." Wang Dali climbed up in a single bound.
We slipped out of the dormitory building, waiting outside the school gate for a while, Wang aid Chao's car drove, get on the car I asked him what happened, why Huang Xiaotao said tonight 'may' someone killed.
Wang Yuanzhao replied indifferently, "We'll know when we get there."
As the car drove on, I realized that it was heading in the direction of the Sacred Heart Orphanage, and when I arrived at the place, quite a few police cars were surrounding the orphanage outside, and the older woman I had seen that day was also there. Huang Xiaotao was reprimanding two police officers with her waist crossed: "What's wrong with you guys, you can't keep an eye on a big living person, who's responsible for the death of a person!"
"What happened?" I went forward and asked.
Huang Xiaotao said they searched the city's hospitals over the past two days, found about dozens of stroke patients who fit the characteristics, but one by one excluded down all nothing, so they expanded the scope, and as a result, in the neighboring city of a hospital specializing in the treatment of stroke to find the orphanage's director's medical records, where he was treated for a stroke a year ago.
Huang Xiaotao was immediately alerted that the director was most likely the accomplice!
So she called to order the police in charge of the stakeout to quickly put the dean under control, but it did not occur to me that the dean had long since run away from the back door of the orphanage, according to the reaction of people in the orphanage, the dean usually almost do not go out, so it is likely to go out to assist the murderer.
I said, "Let's go to the dean's office first."
"Okay!" Huang Xiaotao nodded.
We came to the dean's office and found that the house was lit up, and the police officer who did the unfavorable work stammered in defense, "We saw this office lit up from afar and thought that he was inside all the time, so we were careless ..."
Huang Xiaotao shook her head and sighed, "It's my fault, I should have spread more manpower around the orphanage."
I observed the room, there was a Bible spread out on the table, and a fountain pen, in the ashtray next to it there were some pieces of paper burnt to ashes, one of the officers from the technical team was about to pick it up, I immediately called out, "Wait!"
This piece of paper may have important clues on it, it's already burnt to ashes, I'm afraid that it will be shattered if it's shaken again, I said to Wang Dali, "You go and buy a squid and a bottle of linseed oil and come back."
"Crap, this big night ask me where to buy!"
Wang Aidao said, "The nearest large supermarket is three kilometers away, I'll drive there."
"Alright, I'll leave it to you." I nodded.
Wang Yuanzhao went out the door, there were no other noteworthy clues in the house, at this time Xiao Zhou came over and quietly patted my shoulder, "Song Yang, there's something I want to tell you."
"What?" I asked.
"There are vampires in Nanjiang City!" Xiao Zhou said mysteriously.
I almost vomited blood, is this kid an elm brain? Why is he still dwelling on this matter.
When he saw that I didn't believe him, he immediately took out a yellowed dossier from his briefcase and handed it over to me.
Huang Xiaotao cried and laughed, "Xiao Zhou, you didn't properly analyze the video in the past two days, but just went to study vampires?"
"I believe this is an important clue to solving the case." Xiao Zhou said confidently.
Huang Xiaotao's cheeks twitched, if it wasn't for the fact that the two of them were equals, she probably would have broken into a rage.
I opened the dossier, which recorded a bizarre murder case from eighteen years ago, the deceased was a prostitute-girl aged thirty-seven, who was found dead in her rented house, her entire body almost drained of blood.
There was also a photograph of the deceased in the dossier.
The body was wearing a red dress, lying on her back on the bed, her skin was as pale as paper; the other photo was a close-up of the head and neck, there was a tooth mark on her neck, but it was small, and did not have a blood hole as big as the one in this case.
When I saw this photo, my head buzzed, and I quickly thought, "The red dress ... prostitute ... eighteen years ago ... orphans ..."
Xiao Zhou didn't notice my abnormal reaction and asked, "How is it, this dossier is very important, right, it proves that vampires have long existed in Nanjiang City!"
"Yes, it is important, thank you!" I nodded my head repeatedly.
Xiao Zhou was dumbfounded, probably not expecting me to thank him, I said to Huang Xiaotao, "If I'm not wrong, this deceased person from eighteen years ago is none other than White Night's mother!"
"Are you sure?" Huang Xiaotao said.
"Very sure, he killed his own mother eighteen years ago, so the dean lied to us that day, White Night wasn't abandoned, but rather, he killed someone and absconded." I said quickly.
"Then why is the dean harboring him?" Huang Xiaotao asked.
"I don't believe he's a saint, he can harbor this kind of murder while assisting White Night in committing the crime. Obviously there's only one truth, the dean is none other than his real father!" I sneered.
The people present were stunned for a moment as I methodically analyzed that when the dean was young, he didn't properly follow the precepts in the church, but instead went out and dabbled in womanizing and met White Night's mother.
Whether it was a dewy marriage between the two or a secret love affair is unknown, in any case, White Night's mother later became pregnant and gave birth to him.
As the dean of the school, he could never recognize this son, and due to her profession, White Night's mother could not properly fulfill her duties as a mother. A woman of the world who was abandoned by a negative man and gave birth to such a strange child was naturally full of resentment, and White Night became the object for her to vent her resentment.
As you can imagine, growing up in such an environment, White Night's heart was extremely twisted and dark, and he hated his own mother.
So one day, he killed his mother, the dean may have been secretly concerned about him, only at this time in time to appear, and took him in, so that he avoided the disaster of prison ...
