I, the outlaw, was caught again

Chapter 210 The Mermaid's Cry for Help [Two-in-one monthly ticket request! ]

There is nothing that is not based on a reference to reality and then imagined in the mind, allowing most people to fill in the details.

Even the legendary dragon is based on snakes, giant salamanders, lizards and other things.

What about the mermaid?

Whether in the East or the West, there were legends about mermaids in ancient times.
What is the prototype of the mermaid?
Dugong!

"manatee!?"

Wu Sai paused, then subconsciously thought of what a dugong was.

It can be roughly understood as the appearance of a manatee. Its body length is generally about three meters. In the future, this thing will be declared functionally extinct in the East.

Most people speculate that this thing may be the origin of the mermaid legend.

After all, if the other party is far away, it looks like a human shadow, and its lifespan and the time it takes to reproduce are also similar. The other party lives in groups of three or two.

"If it's this thing, and it's farther away."

Suddenly, Wu Sai's eyelids twitched.

The dugong's tail is shaped like an inverted 'V'
The victim's feet were also modified into an inverted 'V' shape!
Wu Sai and Xu Sheng looked at each other at the same time and both understood what the other meant.

"Does this family live in the fishing village? Did you call the police and take them there before?"

Xu Sheng looked at Zhao Qian who was confused, and without waiting for him to speak, he said:

"Take me to see it!"

Zhao Qian scratched his head, then looked around, put on a raincoat, and led the police outside.

It was still raining outside, but fortunately there was no flood or anything like that, so they could walk normally.

"This family is all Tanka people. They took advantage of the lax management and built a house on a piece of land. Although they don't live in it, it looks pretty decent."

"There are six people in the family: the couple, two sons, the eldest son's wife, and a grandson."

On the way there, Zhao Qian kept talking about the information about the pirates.

Tanka people usually live on a boat. When a child gets married, if the family is financially well off, the parents will buy a new boat to serve as a new home and let the child go fishing on his own.

There are many types of boats, including wooden boats, iron boats, and cement boats, and they are divided into different levels according to their prices.

"This is the one."

Wearing black raincoats, the group of figures finally stopped in front of a house.

Xu Sheng raised his head and looked into the distance. He was looking at a 'village road' one kilometer away, which connected a fishing village with other villages. There were a bunch of policemen there, and there was a sewer in the center of the police station.

This is the outermost part of the village.
"These guys are good at hiding, damn it! Half a month ago, someone told me that they saw them!"

Zhao Qian spoke angrily.

"But as soon as I passed by, their shadows disappeared!"

"I have no grudge against this family. They don't want my boat or my catch, but they come to ram me, you bastard!"

After saying that, Zhao Qian paused, shut up, and then ran to the corner with embarrassment.

He is in his fifties and his mentality is as smooth as the fish he has caught.

Know when to say bad things and when not to say anything.

"Crack!"

Wu Sai took out a pistol from his waist, then leaned against the door, holding the gun with both hands and facing the door sideways.

"Bang bang bang!"

Mr. Xu was wearing a raincoat, standing silently at the door, knocking.

The door was made of wood, and the knocking sound was very small after being damp, but if Xu Sheng knocked hard, at least the owner of the house could hear it.

Unfortunately, no one came to open the door after a long time.

Xu Sheng paused, and the next moment, without any hesitation, he kicked him.

"boom!"

The wooden door opened with a sound, and the bolt inside, which was two fingers thick, was broken.

"Clap clap clap!"

There was another burst of rapid, crisp sounds; it was the sound of the police's rain boots stepping on puddles.

In the rain, a group of policemen in raincoats rushed in.

They broke into each room in an orderly and targeted manner.

In an instant, the toilet, kitchen, main room, roof, and even the alleys surrounding the house were all filled with police officers inside and outside!
"Boss, no!"

"Boss, nothing was found here."

"Nothing's wrong, everything is normal."

Reports mixed with the sound of raindrops came from all directions.

Mr. Xu took a look at the scene around him.

After thinking for a moment, he ran towards the chicken coop.

The chicken coop was covered with a layer of fishing net to stop the chickens from flying out. But there was no need to stop them as the chickens inside had already starved to death and were lying in the coop, their feathers soaked by the raindrops.

Xu Sheng turned over and entered the fence.

Ignoring the mixture of rainwater and chicken shit falling at his feet, he walked to the eaves of the chicken coop and stomped his feet hard on the ground.

"Clap!"

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a slightly hollow sound where my foot stepped.

Xu Sheng paused, then looked around carefully, found a gap, pinched it tightly with five fingers, and pulled it out suddenly the next moment.

A passage extending downwards appeared.

"cellar?"

Wu Sai was not surprised, but there was a fishy and disgusting smell coming from inside the cellar.

Mr. Xu found a flashlight, turned on the light, and shone it slightly inside.

After taking thorough photos of the environment inside and confirming that there was no danger, he slowly stepped inside.

"clatter"

"clatter"

The sound of footsteps echoed in this humid space.

The entrance was not tight, and water flowed in through the gap, making the ground in the cellar sticky.

"Blood!?"

Wu Sai shone the flashlight on the wall and looked at the faintly visible bloodstains with a serious face.

"Collect evidence and take him away for DNA testing."

Xu Sheng took a glance and spoke casually, then looked inside and frowned.

This cellar has been expanded twice and has a lot of space inside.

There's a lot of blood in there too.
Bloodstains are not uncommon in fishing villages, after all, there are fish-killing bosses everywhere.

But there was blood in the cellar.
This is so unreasonable!
Unless, the one that died was not a fish!

"Some of the victims were conscious when the murderer sewed them to death with needle and thread, and there must have been screams during the process."

Xu Sheng stood up and stopped looking at the muddy ground.

"The environment in the cellar is too bad. Ask the neighbors if this family had any unusual movements half a month ago, or a month ago."

"For example, the sound coming through the cellar!"

The cellar is quite effective in isolating sounds. Normally, no one outside can hear what people shout in here.

But if the victim died at night, when everything was quiet, neighbors might be able to hear something.

"At the same time, send people to search for the whereabouts of this family!"

Mr. Xu spoke seriously.

Wu Sai did not hesitate and took out the walkie-talkie to call for people from the Municipal Bureau.

This family is highly suspicious.
The time, place, and unusual behavior all matched the expected reasoning!

If the other party is really the murderer
Then the other party is very likely still committing crimes!
The number of victims is as high as twelve. With every increase in this number, the pressure on the police stationed in Wen City will double!

"Make plans"

Mr. Xu patted Wu Sai on the shoulder and then walked out.

Wu Sai's face looked slightly bitter.

What's the plan?
The case turned into a backlog of cases!

It’s not a problem of investigation, but that we can’t catch the other party!
If this family is really the murderer, then their whereabouts disappeared a long time ago. During this period of time, whether they were at sea or traveling to other places by boat, they did not know their exact location.
How can we talk about arrest when we don’t even have a location?!
But the case has come to this point.
The identity of the murderer was found, the time of the crime was found, and the number of victims was also clearly counted.

And you said you couldn’t catch him! ?

Wu Sai's face gradually turned pale, and a feeling of frustration enveloped his heart.

It’s so frustrating, so frustrating!
The other party is a Tanka person and is not included in the household registration, so they have no way to mark his identity as a wanted fugitive.

I guess even if they run to other urban areas and want to live a normal life and register their household registration, no one will notice that there is something wrong with them.
"Tsk, illegal residents and boat people are really troublesome."

Li Sheng felt fortunate. If there were such a person committing crimes in Jiangsan City, he would be in trouble.

Although there are people who are not registered there, it is definitely not as difficult to deal with as those who are stationed in Wen City!
After a pause, he patted Wu Sai's other shoulder.

"Think positively." "This is collective hysteria. It will only become normal if everyone is dispersed."

"This is a family. They eat, drink, defecate and urinate together. Hysteria will definitely not be cured!"

Li Sheng said with emotion.

"Since it can't be cured, the other party is most likely still obsessed with the 'mermaid'. As long as he is obsessed, he won't think of running away."

After saying that, he followed Xu Sheng back to the ground.

Wu Sai sighed.

Afterwards, his face became serious, but he did not look dejected. Instead, he began to direct everyone to search for clues in the cellar.

on the ground.

"Officer, what's going on with Lao Wang's family?"

The neighbors around looked at the group of policemen and spoke with curiosity.

"Did they kill someone?" an old lady asked excitedly.

Oh, this is more than just murder.
Xu Sheng thought for a moment and asked:

"Half a month ago, did you hear any noise from this house?"

sound?

When talking about this, the aunties became excited.

One of them was a woman in her forties or fifties with a rather bloated figure, winking and saying:
"Hey, officer, do you know those playboys on the flower boat?"

"Half a month ago, I saw the eldest son of the Wang family carrying two sluts home without telling his wife!"

Half a month ago, the flower boat man.
Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes. He felt something in his heart, but he suppressed the emotion.

"Where's the sound? Did you hear any sound?"

"Yes, although it's not big. I only heard a few very small noises. But the small noises are worthy of being a flower boat. They are waves."

She was still gossiping, making faces and talking vividly.

Country women are never conservative or reserved when discussing this issue.

Nowadays, if women’s children are hungry, they can just feed them on the street while chatting with their milky white breasts!
At the same time, he cursed people with a bunch of foul language, all kinds of words that made the police feel embarrassed.

But Xu Sheng doesn’t have time to think about these things now.

The other party misheard the victim's last scream as a gasp.
He shook his head internally.

That's right. A man brought two prostitutes home, and then one or two faint gasps were heard. Would you think it was a crime scene?

"Are there any others?"

Xu Sheng frowned and asked again after thinking for a moment.

"For example, some abnormal things, such as a sudden change of temperament on a certain day."

"The time limit is within two months, half a month ago."

A sudden change in temperament
Several people looked at each other, but for a moment they couldn't think of anything.

"Mermaid, has this family ever talked to you about mermaids?"

Mr. Xu gave a key word.

After hearing these two words, the aunties who had been silent suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but start gossiping.

"I remember that one and a half months ago, after the Chinese New Year, this family was chatting and they said they heard a fish opening its mouth to call for help, and they also said that rescuing the fish would fulfill their wish."

"This is quite novel. I wrote it down, but it seemed a bit fake, so I didn't tell anyone."

An old lady spoke excitedly.

"Yes, yes, yes. I heard from the eldest brother of the Wang family that he woke up in the middle of the night and heard a voice calling him."

The other person was not to be outdone and spoke up.

"Talk? What did you say?"

Mr. Xu detected the keywords.

"Who knows what they said? I guess they were just hallucinating."

"Originally they didn't take it to heart and just did what they had to do."

"I don't know what happened later. The family no longer chatted during breaks like before. They just went to the seafood market every day."

Another old man doing business in the seafood market remembered and started talking.

"They didn't buy anything, they just wandered around. I don't know what they wanted to do."

"Yes, after hearing what you said, I also remembered that this really happened."

A fat and rough man thought about it and recalled some things.

"Before, this family of fishermen would come to me to buy their fish at a fair price after going out to fish."

"But they haven't been fishing since a month ago."

"Every time I go out on the boat, I always come back without any fish, as if I didn't go fishing at all."

"What happened next?" Xu Sheng's heart moved, he recalled that Zhao Qian was robbed by the other party last month.

The reason for the robbery was speculated to be that the other party had caught a dugong that looked like a mermaid.
"later?"

The man scratched his head and said, "I didn't see it much after that."

"I haven't seen him for half a month. Who knows where he went? Maybe a wave came and overturned the boat. Who knows, he might be dead."

Li Sheng glanced at Xu Sheng.

“This is a bit weird.”

"It was fine a month and a half ago, and then half a month later, it drove the boat directly and hit Zhao Qian."

"Half a month later, the boat girl disappeared. Half a month later, the police found twelve mermaids in a well."

If this were the world of Cthulhu, that would be normal.

But this is the reality.
The other party's behavior is so weird!

but
But it is very consistent with hysteria!
"How to catch it?"

Li Sheng said with a headache.

The other party disappeared, maybe he rushed to the sea with his boat, who knows where he is.

This is also what Wu Sai is worried about!

Even if we lock down this family, it will be useless. It is not like the usual cases where we can arrest them directly.
"What do they want?"

"Mermaid." Li Sheng was stunned.

"That's right, whether they have sexual desire for mermen or think mermen have something, but what they want is nothing more than mermen!"

"As long as I'm still sick, I'll be obsessed with this!"

Xu Sheng looked at Li Sheng, and his mind moved, and he thought of someone.

"Since they want mermaids."

"Then let's give them a mermaid!"

To a mermaid! ?

For a moment, Li Sheng was stunned.

Without waiting for him to continue asking.

Mr. Xu took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"dududu~"

"Hello, Team Leader Sha, long time no see. I heard you got a promotion?"

"Well, nothing much. I just wanted to catch up with you. How is your [Water Ghost] doing recently?"

"What are you talking about? I just want to borrow someone's help."

at the same time.

In the imperial capital.

Sha Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard what was said.

"Borrowing someone?"

"What are you borrowing people for!?"

"Have you encountered a case?"

"No, what kind of case did you encounter that required the National Security Bureau to intervene?!"

"Are there more than ten people dead again?!"

"No, why are you and that kid dying wherever you go?"

Sha Yuan couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up with an expression of doubt about life on his face.

Xu Sheng was silent for a while, then spoke anxiously:
"Don't worry about it."

"Just tell me whether you will lend it to me or not!"

Sand source:.
Well, judging from the tone, it seems a bit off guard.
That should be it.

"borrow!"
