Chapter 5

“Where did she go?” Mu Qin looked around the broken corridor without seeing the female teacher. He couldn't help but ask about Cheng Guoxu and Qiu Zijia. “You didn't see where she went?”

“She knows where to go. I didn't see the figure when I came out.” Qiu Zijia was depressed and angry. “What is this woman thinking, saying that the wind is not going to run around, is it all wind?”

“Will it? Who was taken away?" Mu Qin said, looking at Cheng Guoxu. When they searched, Cheng Guoxu was the closest to the doorway, and he should have been able to see Han Li's movements.

Cheng Guoxu understood Mu Qin's eyes and shook his head at Mu Qin's question and said, "I didn't see where she went. I felt that she was still there one second before, and then she disappeared a second later."

"This is troublesome.” The words of Cheng Guoxu made Mu Qin feel awkward.

Qiu Zijia said: “Don't worry about her, since she left us behind, she will find her own death.”

“I want to know if she left or was taken away. If the former it's okay, we can leave it alone. But if it is the latter…” Mu Qin sighed, “It is very troublesome.”

Qiu Zijia said: “Do you think that woman will go away by herself?”

“I don't know.” Mu Qin shook his head.

Mu Qin's voice just fell, and everyone suddenly heard a sharp scream from the stairwell at the end of the corridor.

This scream was obviously a female voice. Mu Qin and the others instantly recognized that it was Han Li's voice. They looked at each other and Qiu Zijia was still hesitant, but Mu Qin had already walked towards the sound's source.

“Wait a minute!” Qiu Zijia reached out and intended to stop Mu Qin from letting him go. He said, “Don't go, what if this is a trap?”

Mu Qin turned to look at Qiu Zijia: “So you don't want to save her, right?”

Qiu Zijia was a little embarra.s.sed but would not return it. He really didn't want to save Han Li. He saw that Qiu Zijia was not a person of justice. In the face of the danger of possibility and unknown, he only wanted to save himself.

Mu Qin did not speak. He stared at Qiu Zijia with his dark eyes and dark voice. He was so calm that he could not help but feel horrified.

Qiu Zijia found that Mu Qin seemed to be overly calm. Since the first time they met, Mu Qin's face had not changed much in the way of expressions. Whether it was a smile or anger, or a surprised expression, he was faint and his tone was cold.

Mu Qin said: “This is the second floor. This building has five floors. There is only one staircase at the left end of the corridor. If we jump from the window of the corridor, whether we want to go upstairs or downstairs, we must go through the stairwell.”

“And just now Han Li's voice came from the stairwell. Anyway, if you don't want to be blocked here, you have to go." Mu Qin said, looking at the end of the corridor. The lights on the corridor there seemed to be a problem, flickering.

Han Li didn't make any other noise after screaming, and the apartment building of the orphanage fell into a dead silence.

Mu Qin took the lead. He took a piece of steel pipe from the heating pipe on the side of the window and used it as a weapon. The steel pipe was so rusted that it was easy to break off.

Cheng Guoxu and Qiu Zijia followed him. They walked lightly and quickly toward the stairwell. Then they found out that the lights at the corner of the stairwell were turned off, and they all turned on when they came up.

“Han Li!” Mu Qin shouted at the stairway where the darkness was missing, and his voice echoed in the narrow aisle, but he could not hear any response.

It would be nice if they had a flashlight.

Mu Qin thought so, but he had to hold the rusted steel pipe in his hand, he bent his back against the wall and began to walk downstairs.

Behind him, Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu stood on the stairs and hesitated for a while, but they still clung up.

Mu Qin leaned down the stairs and touched the light switch at the corner of the stairwell. At this time, Mu Qin smelled a strange smell in the air. He was familiar with the taste and had a little bit of heart. Prepared, then pressed the switch to illuminate this small area.

“My mother!” The lights turned on, and Qiu Zijia immediately screamed in horror. He jumped three feet high, and the whole person couldn't help but stick to Mu Qin.

In front of them, a person who they did not know if it was dead or alive was lying on the steps of the corner of the stairs. This person was covered in blood. The blood was splashed on the wall. There was a very huge wound on his back. It was obviously caused by people. The sharp weapon was scratched.

This man seemed to struggle for a long time before he died, and the bloodied handprint remained on the wall on his side.

“He…has he died?” Qiu Zijia basically hadn't seen blood for 28 years. His family was in good condition, his parents were very pampering, they didn't let him work hard, and they didn't kill a chicken. Only, he suddenly saw such a b.l.o.o.d.y dead person.

At this moment, Qiu Zijia was afraid to look, hiding behind Mu Qin and shaking, but Cheng Guoxu was calmer than him, although Cheng Xuan's face was pale.

Mu Qin slightly stabilized his mind, walked over and crouched down, reached out to touch the pulse on the other's neck, and started to feel a bit warm. It may be that there was still temperature left just after death, but he could not feel the pulse.

Mu Qin said with a heavy voice: “He seems to be dead.”

Qiu Zijia said: “This guy is not Han Li, and looks like a man.”

“Not Xu Fu, the body is not like him, it should be like Xu Fu said, the sixth person. The person who was never found.” Mu Qin said, reaching out and grabbing the arm of the body, trying to turn it over to look at the face.

“Don't, he is b.l.o.o.d.y!” Qiu Zijia seemed to be afraid, and wanted to stop Mu Qin, but Mu Qin had turned the body over. However, it was useless to turn it over, because after turning it over, everyone found that the face of the corpse was all blood. It seemed to have been blown by a particularly large blood mouth, from the left eye to the right chin, so the whole face was flesh and blood.

Qiu Zijia took a look at his head and looked at the horrible face of the body. He couldn't help but reach out and said: “Mom, it's so miserable, I can't see the long look.”

Mu Qin did not pay attention to this. He carefully observed the body shape of the dead body. The figure of the deceased was actually very good. It should be a big man of about one meter and eighty centimeters. The arms, chest and abdomen were very strong. Mu Qin opened the sleeves and could see the solid and firm muscles.

Such a man with a good height and physique should not be easily killed, especially if he didn't make any sound before he died.

Mu Qin, Qiu Zijia and the others all searched on the second floor, and the man died on the corner of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor.

If he struggled to ask for help, Mu Qin could hear them.

Unless the stairwell was not the first scene of death, and someone was dragging his body to the corner of the stairs after killing the guy.

However, this behavior was meaningless, time-consuming and laborious, and Mu Qin could not think of the reason why the murderer would do this.

Thinking, Mu Qin couldn't help but grasp the arm of the body, and carefully looked at his clothes and neckline, trying to find more details from the body.

Then, Mu Qin found that the fatal wound of the body should be a hole in the neck that was opened with a deep visible bone, which may have damaged his carotid artery, so there was a lot of blood on the scene, the floor and walls were full of it.

Mu Qin was not a forensic doctor. He couldn't identify the old and new extent of these injuries, but he suspected that this person may have encountered the so-called “killer” or “Devil”, and then the devil opened a knife-hole in his neck. He grabbed his neck and tried to escape. But the devil's had inflicted more injuries on their faces and backs.

Because the neck was opened, the vocal cords may have been damaged and there was no call for help. This was why Mu Qin and the others did not hear the sound on the second floor.

And…

Mu Qin followed the blood under the body and looked down the stairs. This person may have come from the outside courtyard. He came across the road and dripped a lot of blood. Following the blood, he should be able to find this person's first scene of the attack.

Qiu Zijia was now a little calmer. He didn't stop as long as he did. Although he still looked pale, he still had the courage to cover his mouth and be beside Mu Qin.

“The female teacher was probably screaming when she saw the body.” Qiu Zijia sullenly said to Muchin, “She might have seen the killer, so she ran away.”

Mu Qin declined to comment on Qiu Zijia's opinion. He was still observing the body.

“There are two footprints.” Mu Qin suddenly said.

Qiu Zijia did responded: “What?”

Mu Qin pointed to the bloodstain beside the body, which had obvious footprints left on the blood.

“One is a woman.” Mu Qin pointed to the size of the footprint, and pointed to the obviously larger one next to the footprint. “This should be the killer.”

“The two footprints are very close. And the woman's footprint disappeared in a few steps, I am afraid she was caught by the killer and then dragged away.” Mu Qin used simple traces to infer what might have happened in the field.

Qiu Zijia looked shocked at Mu Qin: “Brother you bad ah, are you in the end a soldier or a detective, ah?”

Mu Qin sighed, and said:. “This is the basic investigative capacity,”

Finished, Mu Qin got up from the body, he grabbed the arm of the body, and at the moment he also subconsciously wanted to let go. However, at this moment, he wondered if it was Mu Qin's illusion that Mu Qin felt the arm of this body suddenly vibrating.

This made Mu Qin feel amazed, sharply wide-eyed, staring down at the body.

But the body was still a corpse, this man who looked good, had been lying on the ground and turned into a dead meat that began to rot.

Perhaps it was the muscle contraction reaction caused by nerve twitching after death. Mu Qin thought, but still stared at the body for a long time.

Until Qiu Zijia, who was next to him, felt that something was wrong, he watched the wind and the gra.s.s around him nervously. The sky was completely dull, and it began to rain. The air became cold and damp, and he could faintly hear the sound of raindrops falling on the concrete and mud.
