"Li Jing, have you read "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking"?" Today is a long holiday, and the two of us looked at the long queue of cars reading on the street in front of our homes in the morning, and wisely chose to stay at home. After breakfast, it was the two of them who had nothing to do and began to tidy up Li Jing's bookshelf, and when I was cleaning up the video discs, I suddenly remembered a few ghost movies I watched a few days ago, Li Jing was usually so interested in bizarre things, I thought he should have also dabbled in stories about ghosts.

To my surprise, Li Jing didn't seem to be fascinated by this kind of story at all, and there were no horror movies in the disc. "Don't you like solving cases the most? Why haven't you watched any horror movies? ”

"I don't really like weird things, so I don't really like that kind of liar, if you want to read "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking", I read it once, and the story told in it is completely different from what you imagined, and it is more like a popular science novel than a horror novel. For example, if the Japanese want the next day to be sunny, they will hang the dolls on the rainy night of the day before, hoping that the nocturnal day will help the weather to be clear. So you see, "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking" is just a beautiful folklore picture book. ”

"It sounds like an ancient Japanese folk tale."

"Well, sort of, but if it has been passed down to now, there are more than a hundred kinds of ghosts, and there are many things that can't be explained by everyone, and more ghosts will emerge." Li Jing sat on the floor and patiently explained to me, and now he looks like the brother next door who is close to him in the animation.

"Still." Li Jing tilted his head, "If it is said that the case happened because of a mysterious phenomenon, I really experienced it myself, but in the end, it turned out that it was just a trickster." ”

"Tell me about it." Out of curiosity and excitement, I sat up from the floor and looked at Li Jing with bright eyes.

"So curious?" Li Jing looked at me amusedly.

I nodded hurriedly: "I like to listen to summer cool stories the most." ”

Li Jing smiled helplessly: "This is not a ghost story of mine, and it can't play the role of chilling behind it." You may be disappointed. ”

"It's okay, I don't sleep all day long. Tell me a story, and you can pass the time of boredom. "I've been begging Li Jing.

Li Jing sighed. Started telling me about the case he had come across.

At that time, Li Jing was just a junior in college, and it was only a coincidence that he encountered that case in the psychology course taught by Mr. Xiulu. Medical. Because there are real human specimens, there will always be many terrifying campus legends circulating in the school. Li Jing's case is related to one of the campus legends.

At that time, the most famous campus legend of the medical school where I was studying was the moving corpse in the dissection room, and the legend said that the corpse had a soul, or that it had no soul before, but after entering the dissection room, it would inherit the soul of the previous corpse. In the dead of night, the corpse that inherited the soul will walk around in the dissection room, and even walk out of the dissection room and teaching building on a rainy night, walking in the rain like an ordinary person, if you see a **walking person on the campus on a rainy night, you must run away silently, don't get close, this corpse will attack people at any time, and even strangle you to death directly, to seek the reincarnation of the soul. The victim's soul is exchanged into a specimen, trapped in an autopsy room, never to be reincarnated. Until laughing on a rainy night, he met a soul that could serve as a refreshment.

When Li Jing first heard about this campus legend, he even laughed at the ability of a group of atheists to make up stories, and he didn't take this rumor seriously at all, and still went in and out of the library or study hall alone on rainy nights. The first two years of college were basically very peaceful, and everyone regarded the 'moving corpse' as a slap in the face, and on rainy days, they would jokingly remind them not to run into the new corpses in the autopsy room. But life will always inadvertently give you "surprise" instead of "joy". In Li Jing's junior year, that legend became a reality, and after a rainy autumn night, a corpse appeared out of thin air on the playground of Li Jing's medical school. The victim was a graduate student at the same school, and the cause of death was suffocation by being choked by the neck from the front. The deceased had traces of a struggle before his death, and he should have resisted desperately before he died. The deceased's identity documents and belongings were unconscious, and the police at that time denied the possibility of robbery and homicide based on the preliminary judgment of the scene. At that time, it happened to be the Xiao team who was sent to investigate the case, but the team was only a new police officer at that time. However, because of his boldness and carefulness, he is also quite praised in vigilance. Because of this case, Li Jing met the team and became good friends later, but that's all for later.

At that time, Li Jing was just a nobody, because he was listening to Mr. Lu's criminal psychology research. So I maintained a high degree of curiosity about the case in the school at that time. At that time, Mr. Lu had a good reputation, so the first thing Team Xiao found when investigating the case was Mr. Lu to ask for advice. Mr. Lu is a professor of criminal psychology, and this case happened at the school where he taught, so Mr. Lu became an investigation consultant for the police. Teacher Lu also put the case in the classroom as a case, hoping that the students could also help find clues to the suspect together. I don't know if it's because of the campus legend, the students' reactions were very flat, and a few timid girls even put this matter on the ghost theory, which made Teacher Lu cry and laugh. However, one student reacted very differently from others, and was very interested in the clues given by Mr. Lu, and even took the initiative to ask Ying to participate in the investigation. This student is Li Jing, but Li Jing is not outstanding among these students, his grades are mediocre, and he is not very attentive to the course of criminal psychology research, Mr. Lu once expressed doubts about Li Jing's abnormal reaction, and even thought that the reason why Li Jing participated in the investigation as a suspect was probably to return to the crime scene to obtain satisfaction. But when it was true that Li Jing was only focused on the case itself, Mr. Lu completely let down his guard against him, and it was at that time that Li Jingcai systematically asked Mr. Lu for knowledge of applied criminology. Mr. Lu also learned that Li Jing's original intention of studying psychology was to solve the problem of social disorders in his childhood.

Speaking of the case, when the police arrived at the scene, they collected a few shoe prints, and traces of drag were found on the deceased's clothes and on the ground at the scene. In addition, according to the forensic test report, the time of death of the deceased has been 4 hours since it was found, and the deceased was found by the sanitation workers of the Peking University Cleaning Playground at 5 o'clock in the morning, which means that the time of death of the deceased should be between 0:00 and 1:00 in the morning of the same day. The cause of death was suffocation, because no interrogation marks were found on the neck, and it is assumed that he was strangled from the front of the neck by some kind of long hard object.

Suffocated to death by strangulation on a rainy night. Although the school repeatedly stressed not to believe in feudal superstitions, the saying that 'moving corpses are looking for a substitute' still spread in the school, and there are even rumors that this incident is just the beginning. Sure enough. A few days later, on another rainy night, a second case occurred, with the same modus operandi, the victim was still a student at the school, but it was found in the first school building, 500 meters away from the playground. The teaching building is still not the scene of the first crime, and there are still some chaotic footprints in front of the teaching building, which are consistent in size and shape with the footprints in the previous case, and even the pattern of the sole and the wear and tear of the sole are all the same, and even the depth of the footprints caused by the strength of walking is exactly the same. So the police investigated the two cases.

If the previous case was a coincidence, the second case is surprisingly synchronized with the language that once appeared on the Internet. This case has not only attracted discussion among students on campus, but even some good people outside the school, especially those who study mysterious phenomena, can almost often be seen in and out of the campus. In order to quell the commotion among the students, the fire department asked the police to publish some investigation numbers to quell the rumors.

But surprisingly, just shopping around for homonyms seems to confirm the authenticity of the rumors. The teacher in charge of the autopsy room found white cotton socks on the feet of the corpse specimens during a routine examination on the day of the crime. It was then handed over to the police for examination, and the test results showed that the fibers found on the socks were likely to be the same pair of shoes as Lao Tzu, the homophonic fibers collected from the limited production, and the soles of the corpse's feet showed signs of wear. In addition, the size of the feet of the corpse specimen was the same as the footprints collected at the investigation site. This seemed to confirm the students' suspicions, and another post appeared in the online forum with the title that was not over yet. Only the title has no content, and the post that should have been deleted a long time ago has been frantically viewed and forwarded because of the poster's last prediction.

Although the police conducted a full search of the poster's ID. But it was found that the poster was using an overseas server, and when I finally found out the address of the registrant's post, it turned out to be in an Internet café, which was very small, and there was no identity registration and no monitor, so the identity of the suspect could not be confirmed. However, the day before the police found the Internet café, the post titled "Not Finished" had just been sent.

Both the police and the teachers in the school know that the so-called 'moving corpses' are nonsense, and now that both cases have been indexed to the corpses in the autopsy room, the police are also very troubled. The police were puzzled at the time, and in the absence of other favorable evidence at the scene, the police blocked the direction of the investigation on the two deceased, first of all, to determine whether there was a connection or common ground between the deceased. In addition to investigating the identity of the deceased, there should be another clue to analyze the geographical and spatial concerns of the crime site, so as to confirm the possible first crime scene of the two cases and the place and location of the next possible crime.

Li Jing was also in contact with the case for the first time at that time, although as a medical student, seeing corpses had become commonplace, but investigating the case was the first time in his life at that time. Mr. Lu arranged for him to investigate the victims' usual social relationships, while Mr. Erlu spent the morning examining the place where the two victims were found. According to the weather forecast, it is estimated that there will be another autumn rain on the day, and if you follow the information posted on the Internet, it is very likely that the suspect will commit the crime again. If you want to catch the suspect in just three days, you can only speculate on the suspect's psychological characteristics, and even the tendencies and habits in the process of committing the crime, by looking at the location and characteristics of the victim this morning, so as to deduce the criminal's occupation, and even narrow the scope of the investigation and lock the suspect.

Because the suspect did not take any of the victim's property, it is easy to confirm the identity information of the victim, the first victim mentioned before that he was a graduate student at the school and was studying for a first year of graduate school, because almost all of the medical students were studying for a bachelor's and master's degree, so the victim's time at school was still very noisy, and the people around him knew him very well. The other victim, who was also a student at this medical school, was in his sophomore year, was applying for a course at a foreign school because of his excellent grades, and was consulting for resale procedures before he was killed. The two victims were in different departments at the school, and there was little overlap between the two. If there is no overlap, the similarities between the two victims can only be judged from whether the victim has a special preference for finding the victim.

The two victims are of different genders, the first victim is a man, and the second victim is a woman, and the two have nothing in common in terms of size, the only thing they have in common is that the victim's academic performance is quite good. Did the suspects pick them because of their usual appearance at school, or because they were more visible at school than others?

Li Jing told his doubts to Teacher Lu, and Teacher Lu analyzed for the first time according to Li Jing's news, there are two possibilities for the suspect to choose such students, one is that murdering such students may bring him satisfaction, and taking these students' excellent tables may be a source of stimulation for the suspect. There is also the possibility that the murder of the high-profile leaders of these schools by the suspect will attract attention, get psychological satisfaction, and even place the victims in a conspicuous place as a kind of show-off.
