Chapter 429: Hes Back! (2/2)
Then, Duan Yunjie stormed out of the room and froze at the sight of me. It turned out she was also receiving treatment here. She stared at me and walked towards the entrance of the clinic. The doctor immediately made a phone call to Sun Tiger.
I had only been tortured for a few hours and already it left such deep mental trauma. I couldn’t imagine the severity of Duan Yunjie’s psychological problems.
But being distrusted by the people around you made everything worse.
Over the next few days, I returned to the clinic to receive psychological counseling every morning and headed to the station in the afternoon. The special task force was taking a two-pronged approach: collecting evidence of the Dog Trainer’s personal involvement in crime and investigating the missing persons in Nanjiang City for the past ten years. They were also finding out more about the hostages in his hands and preparing for future attacks.
When I arrived at the station today, Xiaotao was ready to head out. ”Has the Dog Trainer committed another crime?” I asked.
”I just got a call from Sun Tiger informing me of a murder case in Taoyuan District. He’s asked you to go to the scene. I was just planning to look for you,” she explained.
”I don't have my equipment with me, but it’s alright,” I said, waving my hand. “Let’s look at the crime scene first. If necessary, I’ll ask Dali to fetch my equipment.”
We rushed to the crime scene which was situated in a bar. All personnel had been evacuated and several officers were taking statements from the witnesses. Sun Tiger walked out of the bar and said, ”Song Yang, you’re just in time. Come on!”
The bar was divided into two floors, with a private room on the top. Sun Tiger explained as we walked upstairs, ”This case may have nothing to do with the Dog Trainer, but I promised you that I would inform you when a similar case happened.”
Upon hearing this, my heart pounded like a herd of stampeding bison as I tore my way upstairs.
I was greeted by the sight of two male corpses lying in a private room, both around forty years old. There was a bottle of alcohol and two glasses in front of them. The cigarette in the ashtray had been burned to the butt but the ash hadn’t yet fallen off the cigarette.
The dead men looked ruddy, as if drunk, leaning on the sofa with vacant eyes.
At first glance, I noticed no trauma on their bodies. I was too familiar with this method of killing. ”Are you sure it’s him?” I asked with widened eyes.
”Most likely,” replied Sun Tiger.
I asked Xiaotao for her assistance in moving one of the bodies over. Sticking my ears to the victim’s chest, I found one organ–the heart!
In order to confirm my deduction, I asked for a pair of scissors. Although I was in a hurry, I didn't forget to check the victim’s clothes for any items that could identify him. The victim had a wallet and cell phone in his pocket as well as his ID card. There was some wear and tear on the cuffs which seemed to be left by long-term driving.
When I removed the victim’s clothes, I was presented with a completely undamaged body, just like my grandfather's.
Heart pumping with excitement or perhaps fear, I looked up and shouted, ”My grandfather’s murderer is back!”
”How can it be? Would the Jiangbei Daggers show up again now?”
”In fact, he’s not called the Jiangbei Daggers, the organization is! The words left on the wall that year–Jiangbei Daggers, Protect The People, Condemn The Corrupt meant the organization he belongs to.”
”So that’s what it means,” muttered Sun Tiger.
”That is to say, he and the Dog Trainer belong to the Jiangbei Daggers,” summarized Xiaotao. “And the organization now realizes that the Dog Trainer may be in danger and sent him for support!”
