Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Chapter 13 The Murder Next Door

The actual situation was similar to Chen Zhao's speculation. The injured police officer lost his gun and did not dare to report it, so he investigated on his own.

As a result, he encountered the man who stole his gun and wounded him with his gun.

His colleagues obviously didn't want anything to happen to him, so they called Chen Zhao over.

The situation is not complicated, but it is difficult to reveal.

Of course, this kind of thing can be big or small. If a colleague can cover it and find the lost gun, then everything will be easy.

If this gun appears at a crime scene or causes any casualties, then the problem will be very serious.

That's why the policeman who lost his gun was so nervous and pursued it alone.

However, Chen Zhao is quite happy to be able to broaden his interpersonal relationships, and the person is still a police officer.

"Do you have anything else to do later?"

"Have you decided where to eat?"

"Find a place where pets can enter."

The two found a Chinese restaurant and went straight to the hotel after eating.

The sound of a gunshot interrupted the two's happy time.

"It came from next door!" Chen Zhao's expression changed: "I remember that there was a male and female friend living next door."

Ge Lin put her clothes back on, rushed to the next door, and kicked the room open.

"Don't move... put down your weapons!" Ge Lin did not rush in directly, but pointed the gun at the door.

Chen Zhao stood by her door, and Ge Lin made a gesture to signal Chen Zhao not to come over.

Chen Zhao felt like he was living in a movie. In just ten days, Chen Zhao encountered four people with gunshot wounds and a murderous gangster.

Now, right next door, there was another shooting.

In China, Chen Zhao has never been shot at close range in more than 20 years.

I have seen gunshot wounds before, two police officers, so the frequency can be said to be very low.

There was no movement in the next room, so Ge ​​Lin entered cautiously.

Just like in most police dramas, when the police enter a certain room, they will carefully point their guns at a certain corner. Every action is full of caution.

But soon, Ge Lin put down her weapon. The room was not big, so there was no place to hide.

There was a body on the ground and the window was open.

Chen Zhao also entered the room and recognized the man as the man from the previous couple.

"That woman is gone." Chen Zhao said.

"What kind of woman?"

"Around 20 years old, brown hair, 1.7 meters tall."

At this moment, a black shadow appeared, Lao Hei?

Why is Lao Hei here?

I saw the sickle in Lao Hei's hand swiping towards the corpse on the ground, drawing out the man's soul.

"Old Hei, why are you here? This is not your territory, right?"

"I came to chat with you. There haven't been many prey in my neighborhood recently, so I came to your place to visit, and then I met this guy. By your side, I really made money. It's really good."

"Save me...save me...save me...I don't want to die...is he the God of Death?"

The deceased was already in a state of soul. He was frantically trying to break free from Lao Hei's grasp and seek help from Chen Zhao and Ge Lin.

But he couldn't hear the conversation between Chen Zhao and Lao Hei. Chen Zhao glanced at the soul of the deceased.

When the soul of the deceased came into contact with Chen Zhao's eyes, it was like grasping a life-saving straw.

"Can you see me? Save me...save me...please, save me...I have money, I can give it to you, as long as you save me."

If he was still alive, Chen Zhao wouldn't mind saving his life, but his brains were spilled out and Chen Zhao didn't have the ability to bring him back to life. Not even Lao Hei could do it, so there was nothing he could do to help.

"Is there anything you want to ask him? I can ask him to tell you some information, but it's best to do it quickly, because the longer the deceased is dead, the more his memory will disappear."

"Ask him for me who killed him and whether it was the female companion who was with him."

"Yes, yes...that damn bitch."

"Why did she want to kill you? What is your relationship? Also, who are you?"

"I am a bounty hunter, she is not my girlfriend, she is my prey, she lied to me, she cheated on me." Soul was very excited, with a ferocious face.

He obviously found it difficult to accept the consequences of his death.

So when answering questions, he seemed incoherent.

But soon, Chen Zhao learned the truth from the deceased's mouth.

The woman was a wanted criminal, but she voluntarily found the deceased. However, the deceased did not intend to hand her over to the police, but planned to hand her over to a gang leader, so the woman killed him and then escaped by herself.

There are several doubts in this. Why did the woman take the initiative to deliver it to the deceased? If she wanted to surrender, why didn't she go directly to the police station? And leave it to a bounty hunter.

Bounty hunters are relatively common in American society. They are not police, but they have greater authority than the police. No, it should be said that they have less restrictions than the police.

Their job scope is to capture fugitives and collect rewards.

However, their job pays much more than the police, and it is also more dangerous than the police.

Although he got a lot of information from the soul, Chen Zhao could not directly explain the situation to Ge Lin.

After all, if this information is revealed to Ge Lin, there is no guarantee that Ge Lin will not become suspicious of Chen Zhao.

The most important thing is that before his death, the deceased did not intend to hand over the wanted female criminal to the police, but wanted to hand it over to a gang boss who paid a higher price. The deceased did not say it, or he had forgotten it.

After the soul leaves the body, it will gradually lose its memory and will only remember some of the most impressive or obsessional things.

In other words, after questioning this time, even if his soul is found and interrogated next time, he will probably only remember the most disgusting thing he has eaten in his life.

Not long after, the police arrived, and Ge Lin was communicating with those colleagues.

The tall black policeman whom he had seen before walked up to Chen Zhao and said, "Man, we meet again. My name is Meyerson, and I am the leader of the serious crime team."

"My name is Chen Zhao, you can call me Chen. I seem to have offended God. I always encounter this kind of thing recently."

"This is America, you have to learn to get used to this kind of thing."

"Maybe you'll never get used to it."

"You and Ge Lin were the first to arrive at the scene. Did you find anything?"

"I haven't found anything. I'm not a policeman, I'm just a doctor, and I'm not a regular one."
