Four. Down-and-out professor
In fact, I've always kept that picture of Casey. It was a photo that Shao Yin sent me after the crime. Shao Yin met Casey at a sorority party between schools, and then finally got acquainted with Casey. Casey is not only a goddess in the minds of boys, but also an idol in the minds of countless school tyrants. That's why her death caused such a big shock. That is a woman who can be called a peerless woman, and like Leng Ao, she has a somewhat cold temperament. Not only that, but she is a very hard student, which is why she is valued so much by her tutor.
When I opened the file, which was already a little yellowed, my heart was heavy. And Leng Ao, sitting across from me, also carefully flipped through the conclusions given by the forensic doctor at that time. The fatal wound was the one stabbed in the chest, right in the heart. Before that, she had already taken sleeping pills and found residual drugs in her stomach. According to professional judgment, the amount of sleeping pills should only be about 5 grams, which can make you fall into a deep sleep. Leng Ao shook his head as he watched, if it was really suicide, the thought of Casey's death would be too heavy.
I remember that when I walked into the scene of the crime three years ago, the forensic work had been completed and the body had been sent for further examination. The blood on the ground had turned black, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air. The location of the accident was the one-room room that Casey had rented a year before she committed suicide, and Casey was lying on the couch when she was found. The couch was almost soaked in blood. In particular, I noticed that the chain behind the door to prevent burglars had been cut. In other words, if there are no signs of entry or exit from the window, it is a perfect secret room.
"What are you thinking?" Leng Ao suddenly interrupted my train of thought. He looked at me lightly and said, "Do you know anything about the case three years ago?" Or was there something found in the archives? ”
I shook my head: "Almost completely clueless. The above account is clear. The next day, the deceased, who was supposed to go to practice, did not show up, but the key to the piano room was in her hand again. So the teacher in charge of managing the piano room and a classmate found her residence, and when she made a call, she found that the deceased's mobile phone was in the room, and then she pushed open the door and took a look, and found that the situation in the room was not quite right, and ten minutes later, after taking the key, she found that the room was locked, but she could see the deceased and fall on the sofa. They cut the chains...... I think it took at least ten more minutes to get inside, and Casey was dead. So I immediately reported the case. The former suspect, her mentor Sun Changqing, arrived after receiving a call from the police, and he was very excited. ”
"The characterization of suicide was also based on the results of the examination at the time. After taking a large amount of sleeping pills, he stabbed himself in the heart with a knife. There was a hint of doubt on the corner of Leng Ao's mouth, "Do you think it makes sense?" Why commit suicide? Especially a girl like her who has a great future. ”
I pulled out a file and handed it over, and the previous police officer didn't seem to be so hasty in deciding the case. "Look at it, this is what Sun Changqing said at that time. At that time, a national piano selection competition was being held in our city. Casey, who has always been favored, did not perform well in the preliminary round, although he did not lose the selection. But it was very difficult to win. Judging by the above words, it seems that Casey can't stand such a big blow. That's why I chose to commit suicide. Not only that, but she is said to have left behind a final video. It was also mentioned above that he wanted to commit suicide. ”
"It seems to make sense. It wouldn't be completely unreasonable for you to suddenly investigate this matter again, would it? Leng Ao suddenly changed the subject. He looked at me calmly.
I frowned and said lightly, "It's nothing, but it just feels like something is not quite right." Then again, for such a long time, the poet named Songzi has been holding on to this matter, and I think there will always be his own reasons. However, judging by the situation at the scene at the time, there were almost no problems. Red wine with sleeping pills and a video before death, it seems that everything is normal. ”
"I'm not sure if there are any questions in this, but we can go and talk to that Sun Changqing again. I've made an appointment for you, and in an hour, it's in Zhongshan Park. Leng Aoyun said lightly.
"What did you say?" I was stunned for a moment, he actually made an appointment with me on his own initiative? He was more enthusiastic than I had imagined, "Are you with the dead...... What does it matter? ”
"No, I just want to find out the truth of the case and return my master's innocence." Leng Ao's expression was still faint.
Leng Ao didn't leave me any respite at all, and in order to reach Zhongshan Park at the appointed time, I had to go out quickly. Fortunately, when I arrived at the agreed place, Sun Changqing had just arrived.
According to the records on the file, Sun Changqing is not yet forty years old, but the years seem to have left too deep marks on his face, white hair has appeared on his head, and there are wrinkles between his eyebrows. There is no vitality in the decadent expression. Perhaps because he was always frowning, his face made me think of the word "bitter appearance" inexplicably.
"It's all in the past. What else do you mention he does? Wasn't the case closed at that time? She just committed suicide, it's been so long, what's the point of mentioning it again? "Before I could speak, Sun Changqing had already spoken, with a hint of indescribable bitterness in his voice." In the past three years, my life has been completely ruined. My wife left, and the child hated me very much, and I went to see the child a few times, but the way he looked at me...... It's like an enemy. Even if I change jobs, I can't go back to my life. Did you take money from pine nuts and decide to investigate again? ”
"Have you ever seen pine nuts? When? His words piqued my curiosity, and it seemed like I hadn't heard the name for a long time after I had been completely isolated from my old life.
Sun Changqing glanced at me a little helplessly, and then said after a while: "Speaking of which, you are planning to only investigate me, but you are not going to do other work, right?" My Sun Changqing, it seems that I am really going to be planted in his hands in this life. In the past three years, he has constantly asked people to investigate me, follow me, and monitor my life...... Otherwise, we wouldn't have given the child to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Is he planning to ruin my life so that I can live in peace? Didn't you ever ask if he had something to do with that case? (To be continued......)
