Chapter Twenty-Six: The Bloodthirsty Doctor
At Ying Xi's urging, Lu Hehuan quickly led someone to arrest Cheng Zesheng to the interrogation room of the police station.
Cheng Zesheng sat on the chair with an indifferent expression.
"I did everything." Cheng Zesheng's voice was low, and there was a shallow smile on his face, as if he was chatting with someone.
Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi, who were sitting opposite Cheng Zesheng, glanced at each other, the two were ready to fight wits and courage with Cheng Zesheng, but they didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the other party took the initiative to confess.
"How many people did you kill?" Ying Xi opened his mouth and asked.
"Four." Cheng Zesheng didn't frown.
"Why kill people?" Ying Xi asked.
"Because they don't keep women's ways! I hate women who don't obey women's morals the most! They all deserve to die! Cheng Zesheng became emotional and looked resentful.
"Did they seduce you?" Ying Xi asked tentatively.
Cheng Zesheng shook his head.
"Then how do you know that they don't keep women's morals?" Ying was puzzled.
"A lot of the men who come to my clinic have had affairs with them."
Ying Xi's doubts were eliminated, and he rubbed his beard, "Explain the process of committing the crime, how did you kill the people?" ”
"It's hypnotism......"
The sunlight outside the house restlessly jumped on the windowsill of the interrogation room, Cheng Zesheng helped his glasses, and told Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi about his murder.
That night, Cheng Zesheng came to the door of Chen Xiu'e's house with a gloomy face, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
After a moment, Chen Xiu'e opened the door. Without waiting for Chen Xiu'e to speak, Cheng Zesheng took out a necklace and shook it back and forth in front of Chen Xiu'e's eyes, Chen Xiu'e's eyes swayed back and forth with the necklace pendant, and she was gradually hypnotized.
"You have nothing to love in life, and death is the best relief." Cheng Zesheng said in a deep voice.
"I have no love in life, and death is the best relief." Chen Xiu'e followed along.
Cheng Zesheng nodded.
Chen Xiu'e turned around and went back to the room to find a hemp rope from the drawer, she stood on a chair and hung the hemp rope on the beam to tie a knot, and then slowly put her head into the rope sleeve.
Cheng Zesheng took out some acacia petals from his coat pocket, sprinkled them beside Chen Xiu'e, and quietly turned to leave.
After Cheng Zesheng finished speaking, he fell into endless silence.
"Why do you sprinkle locust petals next to the corpse?" Ying Xi stared at Cheng Zesheng, still suspicious.
"In order to divert attention, people think that those women died because of Jin Lu's unjust soul." Cheng Zesheng blurted out.
"You spread the rumors of Jinlu's life?" Lu Hehuan suddenly spoke.
Cheng Zesheng nodded, "Yes." ”
"Sun Fenglian, who also died by hanging, also died like this?" Ying Xi asked.
"That's right."
"What about Liang Fang and Xia Yun?" Ying Xi strikes while the iron is hot.
"The same use of hypnotism to give them instructions to commit suicide, they chose different methods to commit suicide under the psychological suggestion of 'life has no love, death is the best relief'."
"Why do you want to find the sin of the white jade roof?" Lu Hehuan stared at Cheng Zesheng and asked instead.
Cheng Zesheng smiled disdainfully, "Because I was looking for a substitute for the dead ghost, he sent it to the door." ”
Cheng Zesheng leaned back and told the scene of Bai Yulou coming to the outpatient clinic to see a doctor.
It turned out that Bai Yulou came to Cheng Zesheng's clinic to see an eye doctor that day, and Cheng Zesheng took the opportunity to give Bai Yulou the opportunity to condition his eyes.
"You are a murderer, Chen Xiu'e, Liang Fang, and Sun Fenglian were all killed by you, because they laughed at you for being a sissy, so you killed them, you are innocent, you have to turn yourself in......" After Cheng Zesheng hypnotized Bai Yulou, he began to give instructions.
"I am a murderer, Chen Xiu'e, Liang Fang, and Sun Fenglian were all killed by me, because they laughed at me for being a sissy, so I killed them, I am innocent of death, I am going to turn myself in......" Bai Yulou mechanically repeated Cheng Zesheng's instructions.
After Cheng Zesheng finished speaking, Lu Hehuan looked at Cheng Zesheng, and there was still something unsolved.
"Now that you've found a scapegoat, why don't you stop and kill Xia Yun again?"
"Because I suddenly found out that she had an affair with Huang San, who sold tofu...... Cheng Zesheng paused, his eyes fierce, "I said, I hate women who don't abide by women's morals the most!" ”
"Do you know Zhao Ruoshui?" Lu Hehuan suddenly asked.
Cheng Zesheng was slightly stunned, then shook his head, "I don't know." ”
"You murderer, wait to be shot!" Ying Xi slapped the table and scolded Cheng Zesheng angrily.
Lu Hehuan stared at Cheng Zesheng thoughtfully.
Bao Kang sat at his desk and looked through the files of the serial murders in Huaihua Lane, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Director Bao, it turns out that there is really hypnosis, and Cheng Zesheng is using hypnotism to control the consciousness of the deceased, so that the deceased has nothing to love in life, and he will end his life." Ying Xi stood opposite Bao Kang to supplement the report.
"No wonder the investigation results show that suicide ......" Bao Kang put down the file and looked at Ying Xi, "Ying Xi, immediately convict Cheng Zesheng and close the case, and I will report to Inspector General Gordon." ”
While the two were talking, Lu Hehuan hurriedly walked in.
Bao Kang and Ying Xi looked at Lu Hehuan in unison.
"The case can't be closed, there are suspicious points!" Lu Hehuan's tone was resolute.
"Why are you here again!" should be overjoyed.
"There is one more key person who has not been investigated."
"Who?" Ying Xi asked extremely impatiently.
"Zhao Ruoshui!" Lu Hehuan did not hesitate.
Bao Kang and Ying Xi looked at each other, and their faces were loveless.
Ying Xi followed Lu Hehuan on the road with a straight face.
"How detailed is Cheng Zesheng's motive for committing the crime and the process of committing the crime? Why don't you trust people? Ying Xi muttered dissatisfiedly.
Lu Hehuan frowned, "I always feel that it is difficult for one person to complete so many murders, especially since the deceased does not know Cheng Zesheng. ”
"Cheng Zesheng can do hypnosis, saying that if people commit suicide, they will commit suicide obediently! Not to mention just four people, if he is given enough time, the entire people of the old gate can die in his hands. Ying Xi retorted.
"When I was in class in Great Britain, my professor said that this kind of hypnotism with instructional hints can only be used on people who are relatively trusted, Chen Xiu'e, Liang Fang, Sun Fenglian and Xia Yun have no intersection with Cheng Zesheng, how can they be so easily hypnotized by him?"
"Bai Yulou and Cheng Zesheng don't know each other, aren't they also hypnotized?"
"Bai Yulou and Cheng Zesheng have a doctor-patient relationship, and patients have a kind of trust in doctors."
"Maybe the four deceased also went to Cheng Zesheng Clinic to see a doctor?"
Lu Hehuan suddenly remembered something and looked at Ying Xi, "You reminded me...... Inspector Ying, now you go to investigate whether the four deceased have gone to Cheng Zesheng Clinic to see a doctor, and I will check Zhao Ruoshui according to the address given to me by Xiao Ying. ”
"Are you a detective or am I a detective?" Ying Xi folded his arms dissatisfied.
"You can't solve the case within the specified time, and you're not a detective anymore." Lu Hehuan was in a hurry.
Ying Xi was speechless for a moment, and turned away angrily.
Even though it was broad daylight, the alleys of Huaihua Lane still looked a little gloomy, and the bluestone paved sheep intestine path was empty.
Lu Hehuan came to Zhao Ruoshui's residence according to the address in his hand.
"No. 122 Huaihua Lane...... How could it be Sister Hao's house......" Lu Hehuan looked at the house in front of him and couldn't help muttering to himself.
Lu Hehuan walked to Sister Hao's neighbor's house and knocked on the door while thinking. In a moment, a woman opened the door and came out.
"Hello, I'm ......"
"Detective Lu from the Jiuzha Police Station, I know you, I was also at the scene to watch the excitement of Jin Lu's case last time." The woman interrupted Lu Hehuan enthusiastically.
Lu Hehuan nodded politely and hurriedly asked, "I want to inquire, where is Zhao Ruoshui's house?" ”
The woman pointed to Sister Hao's house.
"Isn't this Sister Hao's house?"
"Zhao Ruoshui is the name of Dabao."
"So that's ......" Lu Hehuan suddenly realized.
"Did Dabao do something again?" The women had worries on their faces.
"No, no, the police station sent me to verify the household file, so I'm here to ask."
The woman nodded reassuringly.
"With neighbors to take care of, Sister Hao's mother and son should live well, right?" Lu Hehuan asked.
The woman shook her head, "Sister Hao is strong and never accepts help from others." ”
"I heard that Sister Hao used to have a good relationship with Chen Xiu'e, Liang Fang and Sun Fenglian, they are all widows and are connected by the same fate, it stands to reason that their help Sister Hao should be acceptable."
The neighbor pouted, "They are different from Sister Hao, they didn't squeeze Sister Hao less when they were alive, and they often laughed at Dabao behind their backs for being a cripple." ”
Lu Hehuan nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I have one more thing." ”
"You ask."
"Auntie, can't Dabao's leg be cured? I heard that Dr. Cheng is a very good doctor, why didn't I let Dr. Cheng see it? ”
"Dabao's legs are congenital, Dabao was only a few years old at that time, Sister Hao was a nurse in Dr. Cheng's clinic, Dr. Cheng showed Dabao a lot, he tried all methods, but it didn't work...... To say that Dr. Cheng is really good to Sister Hao and Dabao, but unfortunately Sister Hao is afraid of gossip from others, so she doesn't go to work in the clinic later. The woman looked sorry.
"I see."
Lu Hehuan nodded thoughtfully.
Lu Hehuan walked into the police station with a confident face, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Liu Rushuang chased after him.
"Lu Hehuan, I found it." Liu Rushuang was so tired that she was out of breath.
"Have you found out who spread the rumors?" Lu Hehuan asked.
"It's Sister Hao!"
"That's right." Lu Hehuan was indifferent, and seemed to be expected.
The bald police officer passed by Lu Hehuan.
"Bald, where is Inspector Ying?" Lu Hehuan didn't see any trace of Ying Xi, stopped his bald head and asked.
"Inspector should go to Director Bao to report the closure of the case."
"Oh no, can't close the case!" Lu Hehuan frowned tightly and hurriedly walked in the direction of Bao Kang's office.
Bao Kang sat at his desk, and Ying Xi stood opposite Bao Kang with the file. The two worked together to close the case as soon as possible.
"This time, we must close the case before Lu Hehuan comes back, don't let him interfere again, otherwise this case will not be over." Bao Kang angrily instructed Ying Xi.
Ying Xi smiled and nodded flatteringly, "I know, I'll go and prepare to close the case now." ”
As soon as Ying Xi's words fell, Lu He burst in in a hurry.
"The case can't be closed, the real suspect has surfaced."
"Who?" Bao Kang and Ying Xiden collapsed and asked in unison.
"Sister Hao." Lu Hehuan's tone was firm.
Bao Kang and Ying Xi looked at each other.
A few rays of light shone through the small window on Cheng Zesheng's peaceful face, and he was sitting in the corner of the cell with his eyes closed.
The two police officers opened the cell door, and Cheng Zesheng opened his eyes.
"Cheng Zesheng, come with us to the interrogation room." A police officer urged unceremoniously.
"Isn't it already over? I plead guilty. Cheng Zesheng was surprised.
"Don't talk nonsense, come with us."
Cheng Zesheng slowly stood up, worry creeping up on his brows.
Lu Hehuan quickly led someone to take Sister Hao to the interrogation room of the police station.
Sister Hao sat on the chair, looking a little nervous. Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi sat opposite Sister Hao.
Cheng Zesheng walked in with the two police officers and was stunned when he saw Sister Hao. Sister Hao stared at Cheng Zesheng, and her eyes became a little complicated.
Lu Hehuan motioned for Cheng Zesheng to sit on the chair next to Sister Hao, Cheng Zesheng hesitated for a moment, and slowly walked to Sister Hao and sat down.
"What else does the officer want to ask?" Cheng Zesheng took the initiative to ask.
"The truth, tell me the truth." Lu Hehuan was categorical.
"I killed everyone, that's the truth." Cheng Zesheng was determined.
Lu Hehuan ignored Cheng Zesheng and turned to stare at Sister Hao. Sister Hao's lips trembled, trying to suppress the tears in her eyes.
Lu Hehuan looked at Cheng Zesheng again, "I consulted the mentor in Great Britain, and he told me that although the 'paternal hypnosis' can give instructions in a commanding tone, it is actually difficult to give orders to strangers, because this kind of hypnosis is more difficult than ordinary hypnosis, and it has to penetrate deep into the brain, interfere with the original thinking, and establish a new consciousness." In other words, you have to cooperate with you or trust you enough to be hypnotized. You don't know Chen Xiu'e, she can't trust you, let alone be hypnotized by you, so Chen Xiu'e wasn't killed by you at all! ”
After Lu Hehuan finished speaking, he stared at Cheng Zesheng with sharp eyes.
"Chen Xiu'e came to my clinic to see a doctor." Cheng Zesheng's face was calm.
"Nonsense, according to my investigation, only Bai Yulou and Xia Yun have been to your clinic, Bai Yulou is to see eye diseases, and Xia Yun is to see cough." Ying Xi retorted.
Lu Hehuan turned to stare at Sister Hao, "Sister Hao, Chen Xiu'e, Liang Fang, and Sun Fenglian were killed by you, right?" ”
"I, why should I kill them?" Sister Hao pretended to be calm.
"Because of the property." Lu Hehuan picked up a stack of documents on the table, "I went to the Land Bureau to check, and the properties of several deceased people were bought at a low price by a person named Zhao Ruoshui, and Zhao Ruoshui is the name of your son Dabao!" ”
Everyone present was dumbfounded, and Sister Hao panicked.
"After you accidentally discovered the case of the rickshaw driver killing the dancing girl Jin Lu, the nearby houses were considered unlucky, no one dared to live in them, and the price was greatly reduced, and when Zhu Wolong was inspecting the land, you overheard the news that Huaihua Lane wanted to be demolished and compensated. At this time, you already know that you have liver cancer and your life is short. ”
Lu Hehuan looked straight at Sister Hao, and Sister Hao's eyes were timid.
Cheng Zesheng on the side was shocked, and looked at Sister Hao with concern, his eyes full of regret.
Lu Hehuan took out a diagnosis book, "This is the diagnosis of your condition that I found in the hospital, and the doctor said that your condition has reached an advanced stage, and there are still three months left at most." So, you thought of Dabao, and you decided to make a fuss about the property because you thought about Dabao's life after his death......"
Sister Hao lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes silently, and couldn't help but think of Dabao.
On the day she was diagnosed with liver cancer, Sister Hao didn't know how she got home, and she didn't know how to face her only son, Dabao. When she staggered open the door, Dabao was limping and sweeping the floor with a broom, looking a little pitiful.
"Dabao, why don't you lie down on the bed well." Sister Hao hurriedly snatched the broom.
Dabao smiled honestly, "Mother, I don't want to be a burden to you, I want to help you do some work." ”
"Mother doesn't need you to work." Sister Hao had tears in her eyes, she felt that she owed her son too much.
"During this time, my mother tossed and turned at night and slept badly, I was worried that my mother was tired because of taking care of me, if my mother was tired, what would Dabao do in the future." Dabao leaned on Sister Hao coquettishly.
Sister Hao suppressed the pain in her heart, thoughtful, she couldn't imagine how Dabao would live after she died.
Lu Hehuan stared at Sister Hao and continued: "And the reason why you chose Chen Xiu'e, Liang Fang and Sun Fenglian as targets is because they usually sneer at the lame Dabao, so you used hypnosis to make a few people commit suicide, and then bought a few people's real estate at a low price and put it in the name of Zhao Ruoshui, that is, Dabao." ”
Everyone present looked at each other when they heard this, and they all looked at Sister Hao.
