Zhao Yu then asked, "You are not a policeman, so you can't see the crime scene. Zhao Yu asked, "Why are you so sure that the person is killing people according to the way in your novel?"
Han Kuan then said, "I only found out about it later, so I didn't think about it at first. I never thought that such a thing would happen. Um … How should I put it … You can check that in early August of last year, the police found a body in an abandoned building near the Dongshan Building Material Market in the Golden City. At that time, the body had been dead for more than half a month. The police confirmed that the person had died by cutting his wrists! "
Cutting his wrists again?
After hearing the words "cutting his wrists," the atmosphere became tense. Obviously, because of Han Kuan's murder case, this word had become quite sensitive.
In the end, because the victim had been dead for so long, the body was highly decomposed, so the police did not find any obvious evidence of homicide. So, the case was closed hastily as a suicide. "
As he spoke, Han Kuan glanced at Bureau Chief Zhang Qing with obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes.
He then said, "As you know, I specialize in crime novels, so I am very interested in this kind of news. So, I investigated that case carefully. However, I didn't realize that there was anything wrong with it at that time. I just wanted to know if the person had committed suicide or not.
Han Kuan then said, "Of course, I am not a detective like you. So, I couldn't find out anything about it. So, the case soon disappeared from my life.
However, I didn't expect that during the National Day holiday, there would be another suicide case in the Golden City. The news reported that a person had hanged himself in an unfinished residential building in Qiaobei District! "Han Kuan frowned and said," After hearing this news, I couldn't stay calm anymore! I vaguely remembered the plot in my book, 11 Kills! "
He then added, "When I connected this to the first suicide case, I finally realized that something bad was going to happen!
In my book, 11 Kills, in order to avenge his daughter, the protagonist killed the first person he killed by cutting his wrists. Then, he faked a wrist-cutting suicide scene! "
He then added, "The second victim also hanged himself! And I remember clearly that the victim in my book also died in an unfinished residential building. It's exactly the same as the news in front of me! "
Hearing Han Kuan's words, the room fell into silence. Zhao Yu blinked at the observation glass, indicating that he wanted Zeng Ke to quickly check and see if the two things that Han Kuan had just mentioned were true.
"When I realized that something was wrong, I ran to my basement to look for that book like a madman!" "However, I turned the basement upside down, but not only did I not find the book 11 Kills, but many of my previous manuscripts were also missing!" He then added, "But, I still couldn't find the book!
"My manuscripts were in an ordinary cardboard box, but that box was gone!" Han Kuan's face was full of despair. "At that time, I was completely stunned! If there really is a madman who is killing people according to my book, that would be terrible! Eleven kills! Could it be that … he had to kill 11 people as well?
"At that time, I did think of quickly reporting to the police. But … after I calmed down, I felt that I couldn't be too rash. After all, it had been too long, and I had forgotten many details of the book. I could only remember the general outline of the book.
"Also, I can't remember if the first victim died in an abandoned building or something. So, I thought that although these two cases were similar to the one in my book, it might just be a coincidence.
Besides, when I wrote 11 Kills, I was very young. So, the book was full of loopholes. If someone really killed people according to the plot in the book, I'm afraid that the police would have already found out! " Han Kuan shrugged his shoulders, then said, "Since these two cases in reality were both determined to be suicides in the end … So, I comforted myself that maybe the situation was not as bad as I thought it would be.
"Alas … It's really fate that makes fools of people!" Han Kuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, then said, "I was involved in a murder case, and the victim was my wife … I … I am really innocent!"
At this point, Han Kuan seemed to be a little emotional. He stopped to calm himself down, then continued.
"Then, I was wrongly accused of being a murder suspect and locked up in the detention center! You can imagine how hard it was for me these days … How could I be in the mood to think about 11 Kills? "
He then added, "However, incredibly, just two weeks ago, I suddenly saw a piece of news in the newspaper, saying that someone had found a frozen victim in an abandoned factory near the truck yard!
The police detected a large amount of alcohol in the victim, which proved that the person was seriously drunk before he died. So, the police suspected that the person had drunk too much, then slept in the factory and froze to death.
Han Kuan then said, "Those days happened to be the coldest time in the Golden City. The lowest temperature at night reached minus 20 degrees Celsius. In that kind of situation, no matter what kind of person they were, they would have been frozen into a popsicle!"
"Of course, that's not important!" Han Kuan said with a dignified expression, "What's important is that the fourth victim in my book also died in the same way! Drinking, abandoned factory, cold … They were all exactly the same! "
My God!
Hearing this, everyone finally realized that what Han Kuan had said about killing people according to the book was not nonsense!
"Wait a minute …" Zhao Yu suddenly thought of something and asked, "You said that the fourth victim was frozen to death! So, there should be a third victim in the middle, right? "
Han Kuan then said, "Yes, although I can't remember the details, at least the order of death is absolutely correct! The first one cut his wrist, the second one hung himself, the third one was electrocuted, the fourth one froze to death, the fifth one drowned, and the sixth one … "
Zhao Yu interrupted him and asked, "Are you saying that the third one should have died of electrocution?"
Han Kuan then said with certainty, "Yes! I don't know if the murderer had an accident or something else. But, in my tree, the third person was indeed electrocuted to death! The fourth one was frozen to death! Maybe the murderer mixed up the order of death? "
"Wait a minute …" Zhao Yu interrupted him again, then stretched out his fingers and pinched them together. He then turned to Deputy Bureau Chief Zhang Qing and said, "Zhang, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and call the Criminal Police Unit and ask them! "
"Ask? What do you mean? "Zhang Qing was confused.
"Didn't you say that you received a report today that a person who had been dead for more than a month was found in a residential area in the Southern Ring District?" Miao Ying then explained, "Ask your people how the victim died."
"Oh … Oh …" Zhang Qing's face turned pale, as he realized that they might have gotten themselves into big trouble!
