Chapter 1029: The Otakus and Otakus Are Suffering
"Is this right here?"
In the end, Gao Tian brought Xiao Yin to the scene of the apartment where the incident occurred.
When Xiao Yin looked at the terrain here, he always felt that it looked familiar. There was no mistaking it. Xiao Yin felt like he had been to this place before.
"Is there a family apartment near here? I have a friend living there." Xiaoyin said.
"That's right." Gao Tian nodded.
And this is one of the main reasons why the superiors demanded that this serial murder case must be solved as soon as possible and the murderer found.
The family apartments were inhabited by retired senior cadres from the Hua Xiu Kingdom government circle. Such a large murder occurred within the jurisdiction, which greatly disrupted the lives of the retirees and the stability of the nearby area.
In fact, the crime rate in Songhai City is still very low, and the probability of homicide is very rare. This is another important reason why superiors attach great importance to it. There is a "family apartment" in this area. Everyone knows that where there is a family apartment, the security management must be extremely good. But even though he knew that there was a family apartment, the murderer still chose to stay in this area. Taking action, this is obviously extremely confident in his own methods of committing crimes, and it can even be said to be a judicial provocation that floutes the laws and disciplines of the cultivation world.
Xiao Yin and Gao Tian were standing at the door of the apartment building. This apartment where serial murders were committed has a total of six floors and is called Shenxian Apartment.
"Take me in and take a look." Xiao Yin took out his phone and looked at the time.
"Are you in a hurry?"
"I have to go to Donghuang Road before twelve o'clock. So I just need to solve the case before eleven o'clock."
"..." Gao Tian took a breath. It's already nine o'clock... It took two hours to solve the case. Do you think you are Conan? Conan takes 20 minutes!
But now that things have come, Gao Tian thought it would be a good idea to let Xiao Yin take a look. Anyway, he was originally here to re-investigate the crime scene.
When entering the residential building, Xiaoyin discovered that the security office below the building had built a temporary police station. When several policemen saw Gao Tian coming, they all stood at attention and saluted: "Team Gao!"
"Have you all registered?"
"Everything is planned," one police officer replied.
Because now there is no conclusive evidence, the residents of the entire building are listed as suspects, and their travels are monitored. When they go out and when they come back, they must register here until the suspect is found.
On the one hand, this measure is to capture the clues of the murderer, and on the other hand, it is actually to protect the safety of other residents. Since there is a police station downstairs, the murderer must not have the courage to commit another murder in the short term.
"Give me a police pass." Gao Tian said.
The police officer at the police station registered Xiao Yin and then handed out a sign: "Excuse me, Captain Gao, what is this?"
"The foreign aid expert I hired was a man who ignored the situation. Let him help me this time to see if there are any clues." Gao Tian replied.
"Experts from the War Ignorance Bureau..." Several policemen looked at each other in astonishment.
Xiao Yin took the sign and put it around his neck, and then began to lie on the ground and smell it. As Gao Tian told him on the road, a total of three people died in this apartment in the near future. Xiao Yin could use the smell to smell it. Clearly distinguishable.
The blood flowing from the dead body usually has a smell of resentment. Ordinary cultivators cannot distinguish it, but Xiaoyin, as a holy beast, can.
Xiaoyin got up from the ground and clapped his hands.
"Three people really died. I thought you were lying to me."
"So you're lying on the ground and this is..."
"Smell it, just confirm the facts. One person died on the 2nd floor, 3rd floor, and 5th floor, right?"
"..." This was the first time Gao Tian saw someone handling a case like this.
However, he had to admit that Xiao Yin was indeed very powerful. The floors where the murders occurred were on the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th floors respectively. He could smell the smell from the first floor. This was not an ability that ordinary people had.
On the way here, he only told Xiaoyin how many people had died, but he did not tell where the specific floors were.
"follow me."
Gao Tian nodded. He took Xiao Yin up the stairs and began to conduct a floor-by-floor survey.
"The first deceased was a 440-year-old golden elixir cultivator in Room 202. His main occupation was an alchemist, so he basically couldn't leave the house. When he died, the elixir in his alchemy furnace was refined. Halfway through, the smoker was working normally. We immediately extracted the gas in the range hood and detected a trace amount of dark night fragrance.”
"An Yexiang?"
"A banned drug sold on the dark web can produce hallucinogenic effects in just a trace amount. But unfortunately, we have neither found traces of the murderer's invasion, nor have we been able to find any traces from the alchemist. There were no clues. His body was immediately burned and thrown into the alchemy furnace after committing the crime."
Gao Tian said: "We can only judge from the blood stains left when the alchemist fought with the murderer at the scene. This alchemist was the first person to be killed."
"An acquaintance committed the crime?"
"It's unlikely. This alchemist usually lives alone, and he doesn't have a local household registration. Even his neighbors know little about his situation. In the eyes of others, he is a very mysterious man."
"So the difficulty now is that you don't know how the murderer broke into the house and killed people without leaving any traces, right?"
"Well, this is one of the doubtful points."
Gao Tian said as he walked: "After the murderer committed the first murder in Room 202, he took action on the second person on the third floor 24 hours later. The dead person was Li Daofei, an online anchor. Like the first alchemist, he stayed indoors on weekdays. His main source of income was through live broadcasts on the Internet, and he usually performed some talent shows such as swallowing a spirit sword. However, what the murderer did not expect was that Li Daofei was broadcasting online at the time, and she was killed directly when she opened the door. The fans heard a loud noise, and when they saw that Li Daofei had not returned for a long time, they chose to call the police."
"Then the third programmer who was killed also took action 24 hours later. At that time, we made a preliminary investigation of the scene. The murderer committed the third murder when the police had arrived. This was a provocation to us."
"They are all occupations that stay at home?" Xiaoyin's body trembled, because he also liked to stay at home on weekdays. Unexpectedly, he saw that three people who stayed at home were killed like this... Now he finally knew how the title of "dead otaku" came from.
What's wrong with the otakus?
What did they do to offend anyone at home?
Xiaoyin gritted his teeth and thought about how to kill the murderer.
At this time, Xiaoyin suddenly raised his head and stared upstairs: "The fourth one."
"What fourth one?"
"On the sixth floor, I smelled the smell of the fourth person being killed." Xiaoyin said.
