Section 1: Homicide

Next Chapter

It was a beautiful looking girl. A tight red dress, slightly curly long hair, and a delicate face, except for a trace of abnormal paleness. But at this moment, she was lying at the end of the willow forest in a strange position. There was a curved wound at the mouth of the heart, and the blood had stained the surrounding clothes a dark red. The medical examiner is carefully examining the rest of the place.

In the woods, the wind gently blows through everyone's ears, leaving a strange cold air. Gao Cheng's heart was faintly heavy. Because, the girl has a smile on her face. Why do you laugh when a person dies? Is it liberation, or is it because of something else?

The rest of the team were surveying the surrounding environment, and the crowd of onlookers stood outside the yellow cordon. Gao Cheng took out a cigarette from his pocket, and was just about to light it, when Yang Fan, the police officer who was asking about the people at the scene, walked over, he raised the folder in his hand and handed it to Gao Cheng, Gao Cheng took the folder, opened it and looked at it carefully.

Date: August 13, 2007

Location: Thirty meters away from Nancheng Square.

Informant: Zhang Ziqiang, a cleaner at Nancheng Square.

Report the case: The informant Zhang Ziqiang carried out the cleaning work of Nancheng Square once every three days according to his usual habits. I went to the woods and found the body, so I dialed 110.

Inquiry Log: Do you know the deceased?

I don't know.

Why is the cleaning not once a day, but once every three days?

The main reason is the lack of manpower. This forest was approved half a year ago in response to the greening construction. Who knows, but it has become a place for young people in the neighborhood to talk about love. There are couples in one by one every night. Therefore, it was decided to clean once every three days.

On-site investigation: There is nothing suspicious, as the personnel stationed here are complex. Footprints at the scene could not be forged.

Seeing this, Gao Cheng closed the folder. The situation at the scene was not very fruitful, and it seemed that only clues could be found from the medical examiner's autopsy records.

"Captain, this is a forensic autopsy record." Yang Fan walked over and handed over the record that he had just taken from the post-mortem examiner.

Gao Cheng smiled and took it.

Assistant Yang Fan graduated from the police academy last year, but his body did not reveal a trace of immaturity and rustiness in his age. On the contrary, many times, his thinking coincides with Gao Cheng. So, at the end of the internship, Gao Cheng did everything possible to keep him by his side. Although Yang Fan has not been by Gao Cheng's side for a long time, he is calm and calm in trouble, and he is a rare good helper.

This reminded Gao Cheng of the old captain who retired before. At that time, he followed the old captain like Yang Fan. Every time there is a case, it is always the first to arrive at the scene. Help with forensics, survey the scene, and examine the body. When the old captain retired, he successfully got the test of the overall people and rightfully took over the burden unloaded by the old captain.

Coming back to his senses, Gao Cheng carefully looked at the medical autopsy record.

The deceased was a female, aged around 20-23 years. The deceased had a student ID card on his body, and through the content and photos on it, it was confirmed that the deceased was a sophomore student in the Department of Foreign Languages of Nancheng University, named Bai Ling. The fatal wound was identified as an arc-shaped wound in the heart. Judging from the wounds, the murder weapon must have been a sickle or a scimitar or something. According to preliminary estimates, the time of death should have been between 11 p.m. and 2 p.m. yesterday.

Gao Cheng frowned. Judging from the forensic report, the deceased died between 11 p.m. and 2 p.m., and from the location of the wound and the direction of the deceased's body, the murderer should have suddenly attacked the killer when the deceased was not paying attention. This can show that the murderer should have known the deceased and was still very familiar.

Thinking of this, Gao Cheng turned around and saw that Yang Fan and the others had already begun to pack up the scene and prepare to evacuate. Bai Ling's body was also carried away, and the cordon that had been pulled up was also put away. The crowd of onlookers also dispersed.

The autumn wind is cool. Gao Cheng trembled slightly, and stuffed the cigarette that he hadn't lit just now into his mouth. Now, Gao Cheng's mind is in chaos. He needs to gather his thoughts before he can accurately devote himself to the investigation of this homicide.

Two days ago, Gao Cheng's wife, Li Yueyue, filed for divorce from him. Gao Cheng didn't say anything and signed his name on the agreement. Li Yueyue looked at Gao Cheng and cried and said, "You are always like this. Whatever it is, say yes without asking why. This is true when you get married, and it's like this when you get divorced. You can't change your temper. With that, he walked away without looking back.

For the whole night, Gao Cheng sat on the bed and didn't say a word, just kept smoking. Gao Cheng thought about a lot of things, starting from his acquaintance with Li Yueyue, to getting married later, and now to getting divorced. He felt that he really failed Li Yueyue. Any woman wants to find a good man with whom she can go out, get off work together, buy groceries together, and eat together. Since getting married, Gao Cheng seems to have never had it once in his memory. Every time, I went out before dawn and came home at two o'clock at night. Sometimes, they don't even return all night. It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that his job doesn't allow it.

That day, Li Yueyue suddenly told him that she had found someone who could really give her happiness. Gao Cheng didn't have the courage to ask the man's name. Gao Cheng only knew that the man was met by Li Yueyue on the Internet.

Suddenly, there was a pain in my fingers. Only then did Gao Cheng realize that the cigarette in his hand had already burned to the end. It's like his ruined marriage, with only ashes left in the ground. He hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt, then turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go to Nancheng University." ”

Southtown University is the only university in Southtown. A few years ago, because of the strong call for universities to expand enrollment, such schools were opened in many areas. There is no reputation, and the management is not strict, strictly speaking, it is just a merger of some old schools and a new name. In the eyes of some, such a university is actually a school with mixed diplomas.

Gao Cheng sat in the co-pilot, staring at the case investigation report and autopsy report in his hand and pondering. In fact, there are always a few such cases a year. Not surprising. However, I don't know why, Gao Cheng's heart always feels heavy this time.

What made him entangled was Bai Ling's wound, a scythe and other murder weapons, what could it be?

Gao Cheng's mind flashed images of several murder weapons, but they didn't match the wounds of the deceased. This reminds Gao Cheng of a homicide case that was solved a long time ago. The wound of the deceased was peculiar, as if someone had pierced his throat with a special fishhook.

Although the case was solved in the end, the murder weapon could not be found. In the end, the criminal turned himself in, but he did not say a word about the murder weapon that killed the deceased.

Gao Cheng has always had a knot in his heart that he can't unravel, and it is difficult to sleep and eat. Later, inadvertently on TV, Gao Cheng saw a program explaining ancient weapons. In the program, a weapon from the Warring States period is explained, which was the invention of a weaponry division in the Qi State, and was eventually banned because it was too cruel.

When Gao Cheng saw the picture of the weapon, he instantly opened his mouth. The deceased's uncle was the caretaker of the Southside Museum at the time. Sure enough, Gao Cheng found that kind of weapon in the Nancheng Museum. Thus, he also understood why the deceased's uncle would rather turn himself in than tell the weapon.

The car stopped. Gao Cheng raised his head and saw the gate of the Nancheng campus, he put the document in his hand in the gap in front of the bridge, and got out of the car with Yang Fan.

Seeing the police car, the security guard at the door hurriedly walked over. After listening to Gao Cheng and Yang Fan's intentions, the security guard hurriedly led them to the principal's office.

Walking into the principal's office, Gao Cheng saw four or five teachers sitting anxiously together. Obviously, Bai Ling's death has spread to the Nancheng campus. After a few simple greetings, Gao Cheng proposed that he wanted to go to Bai Ling's dormitory to have a look. The principal hurriedly sent a teacher to take them over.

Nancheng University has a total of four buildings, the front two are teaching buildings and laboratory buildings, and the back are male and female dormitories.

The news of Bai Ling's murder seems to have spread on campus. Walking to the front of the girls' dormitory building, Gao Cheng saw many people gathered around, and even the balcony of the boys' dormitory building was full of people, scrambling to look at this side.

If the clues can be transmitted so quickly when the police handle the case, it will save a lot of trouble. Gao Cheng shook his head, and under the leadership of the dormitory administrator, he walked upstairs.

Bai Ling's dormitory is on the third floor, and there are three people in the dormitory. In addition to Bai Ling, the rest are Su Xiaonuan and Lin Xin. All of them are students from out of town. Therefore, the school takes good care of them.

When he went upstairs, the dormitory administrator roughly told Gao Cheng about the basic situation of Bailing's dormitory. At the corner of the third floor, the dormitory administrator pointed out Bai Ling's dormitory and went downstairs.

Pushing open the door of Bai Ling's dormitory, Gao Cheng recognized Bai Ling's bed at a glance. On the wall of Bai Ling's bed was a large photograph of the girl on it. Her long black hair poured down her shoulders, her eyes were as clear as water, and she had a sunny and youthful smile on her face. It's a pity that a girl who is so young was killed.

Gao Cheng's eyes looked back again, looking at the rest of the dormitory. There are several photos of popular stars on the white walls, and a few ribbons are hung on the otherwise monotonous electric rods. It can be seen that the three girls are girls who love to clean up. Finally, Gao Cheng's gaze fell on the bed opposite.

The bed on the opposite side was cleaned up. There was a cute bear at the head of the bed. A girl stood by the bed, somewhat bewildered, and it seemed that she was the owner of the bed.

"Bai Ling was killed by netizens." When the girl saw Gao Cheng's gaze turned, she seemed to have plucked up a lot of courage and greeted her.

Gao Cheng was stunned and looked back at Yang Fan. Yang Fan hurriedly took out a notebook from his bag, spread it out, searched his eyes, sat down at a table, and began to record.

The girl is Su Xiaonuan. Without waiting for the police to continue questioning, she couldn't wait to tell what had happened that night.

Bai Ling is a girl who loves beauty and pursues fashion. Her greatest pleasure is watching the bee-like boys around her. Of course, she doesn't look down on these ordinary people.

Su Xiaonuan said that Bai Ling has many friends on the Internet. And, most of them have an ambiguous relationship with her. Although she couldn't agree with Bai Ling's practice of treating feelings as a game, Su Xiaonuan had no sympathy for those men who were deceived.

When he said this, Gao Cheng saw a trace of resentment flashing in Su Xiaonuan's eyes. He guessed that Su Xiaonuan must have been hurt emotionally, so he had this thought.

Last night, Bai Ling met with a boy who had been chatting for a long time. The other party's screen name is Te

o

, which is the meaning of death, sounds scary. Moreover, the man was wearing a soft leather mask all the time when chatting with Bai Ling. Maybe it was because of his mystery and weirdness that Bai Ling felt quite interested.

Su Xiaonuan knew that Bai Ling was going to fight that Te

o

When they met, she persuaded Bai Ling that there are a lot of online frauds and robberies on the Internet now, and the other party must have no good intentions.

However, Bai Ling did not listen. She felt that she was interested in the other party doing that. Besides, it's just a meeting, not a business.

After Bai Ling left, Su Xiaonuan was always worried. Until this morning, she heard that Bai Ling had been killed. She regretted it, if she had forced Bai Ling last night, maybe it wouldn't have happened.

After listening to Su Xiaonuan's narration, Gao Cheng decided to open Bai Ling's computer to investigate. With the help of Su Xiaonuan, Gao Cheng successfully logged in to Bai Ling's QQ. Soon, he took Bai Ling and Te

o

The chat history was brought up.

At this time, Yang Fan took out a USB flash drive from his bag and plugged it into the computer. Suddenly, Te

o

Pass over an offline acceptance file. Gao Cheng was stunned and clicked to accept.

"Don't move." Yang Fan, who was next to him, was startled, and just wanted to stop it, but the computer squeaked and went black. Then, the main unit kept clicking and couldn't start.

"It was a virus file. Te

o

It must be knowing that we will investigate Bai Ling's QQ chat history, so we will do this. Yang Fan explained dejectedly.

Gao Cheng stared at the computer with a black screen in front of him, and couldn't help but be angry. He hated himself for being too careless, and he was so careless that he fell in love with Te

o

What surprised him even more was the Te

o

's anti-reconnaissance capabilities turned out to be so powerful. It seems that this time he really met his opponent.
