“The red symbol on the book cover is exactly the same as the blood stain symbol left by the murderer at the crime scene.
Previously, I have researched information on bloodstain symbols, but I have never found similar patterns.
The murderers of the Bloody Mike crime and the two new murders left this symbol at the scene, which must have special meaning.
Perhaps, if we unlock the secret of this symbol, we can know the murderer’s true motive for killing. Amir said firmly, "There must be something wrong with this Tangji Bruns."
With this book alone, our night exploration is meaningful. "
Amir took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the contents of the book.
Luke said, "Stop filming now, let's continue the search."
Amir said, "I'm worried that Tanguy Bruns will notice it when he gets home and destroy this book."
"I have a feeling he won't come back." Luke said this and continued to search the room.
Luke walked up the stairs to the second floor to search, and opened the master bedroom door. From the moonlight outside the light window, he could vaguely see the layout of the house.
There are not too many decorations in the house, only the bed, wardrobe, dresser, and curtains. The bed and curtains are both red, and the moonlight shining on the bed looks a bit weird.
Luke frowned slightly, feeling that the pungent smell in the room was stronger.
He turned on the flashlight and began to search the bedroom carefully. There was a painting on the wall beside the bed. Above the painting was a special circular symbol, which was exactly the same as the bloodstain symbol left at the crime scene. Below the painting was A figure, neither male nor female, was kneeling devoutly in front of the symbol.
On the left side of the bedroom is a frosted sliding glass door. Depending on the layout, it is either a dressing room or a bathroom.
Luke faintly heard a buzzing sound.
He opened the sliding door and smelled a stronger pungent smell. The flashlight light shone on the compartment. There was no decoration inside. It was neither a bathroom nor a cloakroom. Instead, there was a rectangular cabinet.
The cabinet is surrounded by iron sheets and the top is glass. It is two meters long, one meter wide and about one meter high. It is more like a weird coffin.
Luke walked closer, shined his flashlight on the glass on the top of the cabinet, and saw a figure lying inside. His right hand was on the pistol, and his left hand used the flashlight to shine on the figure's face. It was a pale complexion, sparse hair, and tightly closed features. Woman soaked in liquid.
Even though Luke was very courageous, he was a little scared when he saw such a strange scene.
He felt that this woman looked familiar, so he took a bold look and saw that she was the woman in the photo in the living room of Tangji Bruns' house, but this woman was a little less red and her body was thinner.
The woman lying in the glass coffin must have been dead for a long time, and the familiar pungent smell must be embalming fluid.
“Luke…”
At this time, Amir’s voice sounded outside.
He also walked into the bedroom and asked, "Did you find anything here?"
Luke pointed to the glass coffin in front of him.
Amir also came over to check and was immediately shocked, "Fuck! He actually hid a dead person in the bedroom. What a pervert."
He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then looked over again, "This woman seems familiar?"
Luke said, "She's Tanguy Bruns' wife."
“What! His wife!” Amir said in surprise, “The information shows that his wife died five years ago…
This body has been preserved for five years...
What does he want to do? "
“I’m afraid only he himself knows this.”
…
Half an hour later.
A white Toyota parked in front of Tangji Bruns' garage.
The cab door opened, and Tangji Bruns stepped out of the cab.
At this moment, two cars drove up not far away. Luke and others got out of the cars and entered the yard of Tangji Bruns' house.
Tanguy Bruns glared at Luke and the others, "What's the matter with you?"
Luke said, "Mr. Tanguy Bruns, we are investigating two homicide cases and would like to ask you to assist in the investigation."
"Sorry, I don't have time." Tangji Bruns refused simply.
Luke showed the arrest warrant and glanced at the little girl who had just gotten out of the Toyota. "I think you'd better cooperate, otherwise, we will have to arrest her."
“Why do you arrest me?”
Luke didn’t answer, but pointed to the house and said, “We’re going to search your house too.”
Tanguy Bruns said anxiously, "I don't agree.
If you dare to break into my house, I will definitely have a lawyer sue you. "
Luke showed the search warrant again, "Take a good look."
"You can't break into my house, not even with a search warrant..." Tangji Bruns showed an angry look and stopped the FBI agent who wanted to enter the house to search.
Luke tilted his head, "Catch him."
“Let me go, let me go.
You idiots, don't go to my house..." Tangji Bruns looked a little crazy and hysterical.
Two detectives held him down, handcuffed him and took him away.
The little girl was thin and took a few steps back in fear, covering her mouth with her hands.
With the search warrant this time, the detectives could search the house legitimately. Luke did not go in again. He had already searched the house from top to bottom and found all the evidence he needed. However, the garage was empty and there was no evidence. Find the black Lexus.
Soon, a detective discovered the female body in the bedroom...
Following a detailed search, the FBI also discovered more clues.
Tanguy Bruns was also taken back to the FBI for interrogation.
…
FBI New York office, interrogation room.
Tanguy Bruns was handcuffed on the interrogation chair, his eyes red, looking at Luke and Amir ferociously.
Amir was a little embarrassed by his stare, so he picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
Luke looked at the information in his hand. The information showed that Tangji Bruns’ wife died of illness five years ago.
Luke put down the information and asked, "Do you know why I arrested you?"
Tanguy Bruns responded nonchalantly, "Can you please return my wife's body? Please."
Luke took the opportunity to ask, "Why did you hide your wife's body in the bedroom?"
Tangji Bruns’ eyes were dull, “I can’t bear to see her leave. I hope she can stay and stay with us.”
“How old is your daughter?”
“Eight years old.”
“Let an eight-year-old child face a corpse all day long. Do you think she can grow up healthy and happy?”
Tanguy Bruns glared at Luke, "That's a cold corpse to you.
But the woman I love most is the mother of my daughter.
We are not afraid, we love her, and she will always be our relative.
We all want her to stay with us. "
Amir said, “If you love her, you should bury her properly.
Love can stay in the heart forever, not in this cruel way. "
Tanguy Bruns shook his head and sneered, "You don't understand true love at all."
Luke asked, "Then what do you think love is? Killing people in the name of love?"
Tanguy Bruns sighed, "I didn't kill anyone, my wife died of illness..."
Luke stared at the other person and tried, "I'm not referring to your wife, but the murder of Grace Bloomberg and Olenna Buck."
Tanguy Bruns shook his head, "You have arrested the wrong person. Their death has nothing to do with me."
Tanguy Bruns said coldly, "So, you relied on probability to catch the murderer?" Luke took out a photo of the bloodstain symbol at the crime scene, "Do you recognize this symbol?"
Tanguy Bruns took one look and quickly lowered his head.
Luke continued, "This symbol was painted on the crime scene with the blood of the deceased after the murder. It is exactly the same as the symbol on the photo hanging above the bed in your bedroom.
What is the meaning of this symbol and why do you kneel before it? "
Tanguy Bruns looked at the symbols on the photo, with a strange expression on his face, pious and anxious.
“When committing the crime, the murderer was driving a black Lexus car, and you happen to have a black Lexus in your name. Where is the car?”
Tanguy Bruns looked at Luke, still silent.
Luke tapped the photos with his fingers, "Blood symbols, disappearing cars, bodies in the bedroom...
These clues point to you.
Even if you refuse to tell, the FBI will investigate you.
Your wife's body will also be taken back to the FBI, and I will apply for a new autopsy on the body.
Your daughter will be handed over to a child welfare agency..."
Tanguy Bruns clenched his fists with a sad look on his face, "Please don't do this, don't break up our family, please."
Luke spread his hands and said, "You are a suspect in the murder case. We are just following the procedure."
“I have nothing to do with those two murders... I just want to save my wife.”
Luke frowned slightly. His wife had been dead for five years. If she hadn't been soaked in embalming fluid, she would have turned into a pile of bones. How could she be saved?
“Where were you between nine o’clock and twelve o’clock in the evening on October 3?”
"I'm at home."
“Who can prove it?”
"my daughter."
“Where were you between 11pm and 2am on October 6th?”
“Being with my wife.”
Luke noted in his notebook, “Your alibi is incomplete.”
Tanguy Bruns sighed, "I don't have any reason to kill, it's just... you misunderstood me."
“Then please explain the misunderstanding clearly.”
“I don’t know how to explain it, where to start…”
“You just said you wanted to save your wife, how?” Amir was also curious about this question.
Tanguy Bruns clasped his hands together and looked up at the sky, showing a pious look, "The nations are in constant strife, the kings have abandoned justice, darkness covers the earth, and gloom covers all the peoples.
The Lord is about to resurrect. He will wake up from the darkness. He will be reshaped into a golden body. His love will once again shine on the earth.
Kings will see your righteousness, and his glory will appear over you.
Eliminate your sins and bring you a new rebirth.
You will be called by a new name, the mouth of the LORD Himself will give you. "
Seeing the other party's nagging look, Luke made a guess. This guy was most likely deceived by a magician, "What do you believe in?"
“Eternal.
We also call it holy religion. "
“What does this bloodstain pattern mean?”
“Is the symbol of a sect.”
“You kept your wife’s body because you wanted to resurrect her.”
“Yes.” Tangji Bruns still looked pious.
“Where’s that black Lexus?”
Tanguy Bruns’ cheek twitched slightly and fell silent again.
“I said before that the murderer’s vehicle was a black Lexus, and you have to prove your innocence.
It is necessary to help the police find the whereabouts of the car. "
Tanguy Bruns hesitated for a while and sighed, "I donated that car to the Holy Church."
Luke asked, “Who’s in charge?”
“Beram Solo.”
“Why did you give him the car?”
“I am not giving it to him, but donating it to him to reshape his golden body so that he can come again and give my wife rebirth.”
“How much money have you donated in total?”
“I haven’t worked for a long time, and I don’t have much savings, only more than 40,000 US dollars.
I knew this was far from enough, so I donated my unused Lexus.
This way can represent my sincerity and my sincere prayer to Him.
I just hope my wife can come back and my family of three can be reunited..."
Amir joked, "If what you call Him came with tens of thousands of dollars and gave your wife rebirth, the richest people in America would have lived forever, and they would not have to seek medical advice."
“That’s different. They are not religious enough and their money is not clean. He will not accept it.”
Amir shrugged, "Then have you ever thought that all of this is a scam by Bellam Solo, just to get your donation."
“No, that money is not for him.”
“What is that for?”
“I have made it very clear that when He wakes up again, He needs to reshape his golden body before he can come to the world.
We collected money just to buy gold and shape a gold body with equal proportions. "
"you?"
“Yes, eternal believer.”
“How many of you are there in total?”
“I don’t know the specific number of people. The number of people varies every time I go there. There must be at least dozens.”
“Is it Bloody Mike too?”
“Yes, he joined very early like me, and we have kept in touch and discussed the doctrine.
He was very devout, and even if he was arrested and imprisoned, he never revealed it to the outside world. "
“You joined to resurrect your wife?
Then why did Bloody Mike join? "
“Mike’s hand was seriously injured in an accident. He saw many doctors and spent a lot of money but nothing was cured and he could no longer continue his piano career.
For a good pianist, this is tantamount to a fatal blow.
He fell into despair and panic. He felt that he had no expectations in life.
In a sense, he is dead.
He wanted to get a pair of perfect hands so that he could be reborn and continue his piano career. "
“He killed so many people and cut off the arms of the dead just to get a pair of perfect arms?”
“This was his original intention, but then he got a little out of control...” Tangji Bruns sighed. “I talked to him about this issue. He felt that he was too far away from Him and that he was still a long time away from rebirth...
But killing and cruelty and new arms can bring him new satisfaction.
But it’s different for me. He will come soon and my wife will be born again. "
“When will He come?”
“Halloween.”
