Chapter 459: Eating Hot Pot and Rolled Beef
Chapter 459: Eating Hot Pot and Rolled Beef
In the steaming hot pot restaurant, Liu Tianci widened his eyes and stared at the simmering soup pot in front of him in disbelief.
He was surprised to find that the charcoal stove under the pot was exactly the same as the one he placed on the rooftop and used for barbecue!
"Let me tell you, this is what you have to eat in the winter!" Wang Dong said excitedly, cupping his hands on both sides of the charcoal stove, as if feeling the warmth.
"This shop is very sophisticated, and its main feature is a wild retro style. Look at this charcoal stove, it's an antique from hundreds of years ago!
He is the only one on this street who still uses it, and the taste is completely different from what is cooked on an induction cooker!"
Wang Dong spoke with great excitement, while Liu Tianci looked at him suspiciously.
"Lao Wang, didn't you say before that you had some information to tell me? Are you just trying to trick me into going out for a hot pot?" he asked doubtfully.
"If you really want to treat me, why not just send me a message? Why go through all this trouble?"
Although he said this, his fingers did not stop at all, and kept tapping on various materials. Anyway, there was nothing to do now, so why not eat hot pot to kill time.
"It's not just hot pot. I also collected some information."
He smiled smugly and continued, "In order to get this information, I went to a friend in the outer city police station and it took a lot of effort to get him to get me the latest information...
Come, look at this.”
As he spoke, he handed over a viewing stick. Liu Tianci took the viewing stick, pressed the switch, and the screen immediately displayed several pictures that should have been taken from the computer screen.
The picture was a little blurry, but Mawala's face could still be seen clearly. Although it was only from the side, Liu Tianci could still barely recognize him.
"Have you found it?" Liu Tianci asked excitedly.
"Not yet." He shook his head and explained, "There are cameras installed everywhere in the outer city. Unless they get plastic surgery, they will be discovered as soon as they go out on the street.
This is the most recent photo of him, but just because you have taken the photo doesn’t mean you can find his location. Please scroll down and have a look.”
Liu Tianci picked up the cup, took a sip of the free hot tea, then put the cup back on the table and slowly pointed his finger towards the screen.
As he moved, the images on the screen began to flip backwards, and one photo after another appeared before his eyes.
All of these photos show Mawala, but the dates and times of the photos vary, indicating that they were not taken at the same time.
Liu Tianci looked at these photos, his heart full of doubts, he couldn't help but ask: "What does this mean?"
So many photos of Mawala were taken, but why hasn’t the police department found this person yet?
At this time, Wang Dong, who was opposite Liu Tianci, explained: "These photos are from various streets in the outer city. This Mawala seems to be constantly moving, and he is extremely sensitive to cameras.
Normally, once he is captured by a camera somewhere, he disappears without a trace.
Many times, when the police arrived at the place where he appeared, he had already left and appeared on other streets.
I think this is his way of distracting the police department and making it harder for us to track him down.”
"Is there something wrong with his brain? Wasn't he hiding in the construction site like a frightened rabbit?
How come he suddenly becomes a different person, trying to transform himself into a high-IQ criminal and even playing a game of wits with the police station?"
A fugitive wanted by the police does not find a safe place to hide, but instead stays in the outer city area. Isn't this obviously exposing himself in broad daylight?
Could it be that he wanted to make his debut in the criminal world and become a notorious villain?
"Look at these photos, eight in total, and the same person appears in five of them. This absolutely cannot be a coincidence!" Wang Dong said in a firm tone, seeming very confident in his judgment.
Of course, the cameras on the street could not have captured only Mawala, but also some of the scenery around him.
In these photos, a man with short blond hair and wearing a white tweed coat frequently appears next to Mawala.
"I seriously suspect that this person is Mawala's accomplice. The two of them have been wandering around the outer city. They definitely have bad intentions. Maybe they are plotting a new case!"
"This is not a simple plan. In fact, they have already started to act...
This guy should be the companion that Mawala found. He has been wandering around the outer city area, and the time is completely right. There is absolutely no mistake."
Liu Tianci has been worried for the past two days because the serial murder case that occurred in the outer city area has attracted widespread attention from the society.
He was fully aware of the seriousness of the case, so he decided to entrust Li Qinglian to conduct an in-depth investigation into the relevant circumstances.
After some effort, Li Qinglian finally collected a lot of information about the case. As far as he knew, the death toll was rising almost every day, and the photos of the scene were even more horrifying.
The bodies of the victims were brutally torn and eaten, the scene was too horrible to watch.
Liu Tianci carefully examined the photos, and his uneasiness grew stronger. He said to Wang Dong, "You must have heard about the serial murder case that has been making the rounds in the outer city, right? And one of the murderers is Mawala."
Hearing this name, Wang Dong couldn't help but frowned and retorted: "How is it possible? Although Mawala has killed people before, it was usually only one or two people, and the intervals between the crimes were very long.
He kills people just to feed the gravel in his hands, he is not a perverted murderer.
But the victims of this serial murder case have exceeded 20, and the time span is less than a week. This contrast is too big and totally unreasonable. "
Wang Dong knew something about Mawala. Although he was not a good person, he was definitely not a perverted murderer. This inference was really hard to accept.
“I asked someone to investigate the case carefully and found that several of the bodies had signs of being devoured by sand snakes, which is very suspicious.
What is even more shocking is that many of the corpses appeared to have been bitten and torn apart by some monster, which was obviously not done by the sand snakes.
Therefore, I speculate that there must be a second murderer in this case."
As Liu Tianci spoke, he put the beef meatballs that the waiter had just brought into the boiling hot pot and watched them roll in the steaming soup.
Then he picked up two slices of tender meat with chopsticks and put them into the hot pot. After a while, the meat slices became cooked and exuded an enticing aroma.
Liu Tianci picked up the phone, opened the TALK app, opened the web link received from He Ye, and placed the phone screen in front of Wang Dong so that he could also see the content.
