Chapter 5: The Criminal's Sin Part 1: Mysteriously Disappearing
Every city will have its own legends of ghosts and ghosts, these stories have been passed on by countless people, it seems that it has really become a bad thing, people dare not believe it, Yunzhou City naturally has many such stories, the most famous of which is - Jiaosanqiao.
There is no bridge here, there is no river, the reason why there is this name is because of the homonym "Jiaofu Bridge", according to legend, this is the place where Yin and Yang intersect in Yunzhou City, before sending people out of the funeral, even if it is sent to the head here, the family no longer sends each other, and the coffin bearer continues to send to the cemetery, but today, the person carrying the coffin has been replaced by a funeral car. The old man often said that if the rope carrying the coffin here is broken or the funeral car suddenly stops, it means that the deceased still has a wish and is reluctant to leave.
There is a roundabout at the intersection of the three bridges, I don't know whether it is the reason for the construction of the traffic road or other, in short, whenever the car is at the corner of the roundabout, it is particularly easy to stall, in response to the above statement, this is also the most unfortunate place of the three bridges, and there is just an independent store on the side of the road! Now the door sign hangs "Rainbow Supermarket"! Although it is a supermarket, it is only forty or fifty square meters, this store is often closed, the business is really bad, and I don't know how many times I want to transfer it throughout the year, but then again, the rent here is really cheap, and the general businessmen who don't know the rent will be rented as soon as they hear the rent. . . .
Sitting opposite Wang Daling was a woman in her forties, who was not much different from ordinary people in terms of clothing, but her face had some more vicissitudes than ordinary people. She took a sip of the tea handed over by Wang Daling, and said calmly: "Actually, I don't have much hope for this matter, after all, it has been more than half a year, and I just want to try it again, after all, it is a big living thing." ”
Since the last incident, there have been no major criminal cases in Yunzhou City for a period of time, and the detectives have received some innocuous small cases, and when I heard the woman's narration, it should be an ordinary case, Wang Daling's interest was reduced by half for a while, but after all, it was a customer who came to the door, and he still replied patiently: "Sister, it's okay, you talk about it, find someone or something, we still took a lot, and finally found a lot, your business should be fine." ”
The woman shook her head and replied: "Our matter is a little different, the Public Security Bureau has been looking for half a year and has not had an explanation, I came today to try my luck." ”
Wang Daling didn't answer, and the woman continued: "My name is Qiao Hong, half a year ago I rented a store in Jiaosanqiao and opened a small supermarket, my husband divorced me early, because there was no one to help, I called my niece Xu Mei over to help look after the store." I went to buy goods once a week, but when I came back to the store that day, something strange happened. The supermarket is closed, the money in the counter is gone, and Xu Mei is gone! Her cell phone couldn't be reached anyway. ”
"How much money is missing?" Wang Daling interjected.
"How many can you have in a small supermarket? It's less than 2,000 yuan! Qiao Hong replied.
"That's not a big loss, isn't it? Got the police in the back? Wang Daling asked.
"I searched for her everywhere for two days and there was no news, so I called the police. At first, the police also suspected that she had taken the money from the store and left, but... The police checked her bedroom, and the salutes and important belongings were there, so how could anyone run away without taking their belongings with them? This is very strange! ”
With that, Ghost Shuo, who was sitting behind his desk, finally interjected and asked, "What else is missing besides money?" ”
Qiao Hong turned his head to look at the ghost behind him, and replied, "And a big suitcase in my house!" ”
"In your house?" Wang Daling asked suspiciously.
Qiao Hong nodded: "That small supermarket has two floors, the downstairs is used for business, and the upstairs is separated by two small rooms, and my niece and I live inside." ”
"Have the police checked the surveillance in the vicinity?" Onishuo asked again.
"In that ghost place of Jiaosanqiao, there is not even a decent street lamp, how can there be any monitoring?" Qiao Hong said angrily. "In this way, the police have been looking for more than half a year, and I have been asking for more than half a year, but there has been no news from her. This is not the rent due, and I don't plan to rent it, so I will try my luck with you before leaving, after all, a big living person, how can I say that it is gone! ”
"Does he have any other family?" Onishuo asked.
"Just a father in my hometown, her mother died of illness a few years ago, and her father was also in a trance for half a year because of her!"
"Has her room been cleaned up since she disappeared?" Onishuo continued.
"Not really! But... The police have already investigated, and there seems to be no suspicion. Qiao Hong replied.
"Let's go, let's go and see the scene." Oni Shuo had already gotten up as he spoke.
Qiao Hong drove his own small truck, and took the two of them to Jiaosan Bridge in less than half an hour, Wang Daling looked a little uncomfortable as soon as he got off the car, he leaned over to the ghost Shuo and whispered: "Let's go in a hurry, what I didn't remember for a while was this ghost place, I knew that something with some evil spirits came again." ”
About the matter of Jiaosan Bridge, the ghost Shuo, who grew up in Yunzhou since childhood, has heard of it, although it is not far from the city center, but all the older Yunzhou people are a little afraid of this place. It is said that more than ten years ago, the Yunzhou crematorium was here, and later moved out of here with the expansion of the city's development area, but all kinds of strange theories here are endless. But Ghost Shuo didn't care about this, and just replied in a low voice: "Let's handle the case, can we have some professionalism?" Less god chatter! ”
The two followed Qiao Hong to the corner of the roundabout, and saw the rainbow supermarket at a glance, not how big the supermarket is, but the single family in this neighborhood is this shop, and the surrounding buildings are far away, but anyone who has a little business acumen will not choose to operate here, but it is not convenient for the two to ask in front of Qiao Hong. Qiao Hong used the key to open the roller shutter door of the supermarket, and it looked like it had not been open for some days, and the desktop and shelves were covered with a layer of dust.
Qiao Hong explained: "Since my niece's disappearance, the business here has been intermittent, and there was no business in the first place, so I simply closed the door and moved out myself. ”
The area of the supermarket is not large, only forty or fifty square meters, and you can see it all by walking two steps, Ghost Shuo asked, "When your niece disappeared, it was daytime?" ”
Qiao Hong nodded and said, "Yes, it's daytime, this place is night... Generally closed for business. ”
At the end of the supermarket is a narrow staircase, the three of them climbed up the stairs, the second floor is a temporary house built, a partition wall in the middle divides it into two bedrooms, and there is a small bathroom in the corner. There are also times when no one comes, and the ground is full of dust. Qiao Hong pointed to one of them and said, "This is my niece Xu Mei's room." ”
The door was not locked, Ghost Shuo stepped forward and pushed the door open, the room was not big, it was more than ten square meters, there was a wardrobe inside, a single bed, some toiletries, and nothing else. Onishuo carefully looked back and forth in the room for a while, and then asked, "Do you smoke with your niece?" ”
"Never suck."
"Has anyone visited her lately?"
"I don't think so!"
"Do you cook here on weekdays?"
Qiao Hong shook his head again and replied, "I don't do it either, the space here is too small, and there is a lot of cooking smoke, so I usually go outside to eat." ”
Ghost Shuo closed his eyes, and after a while, he slowly opened them and said in a low voice: "If I am not mistaken, your niece should be dead, and... There is a high probability that he will die in this room and be dismembered! ”
As soon as the words fell, Qiao Hong was suddenly frightened and turned pale, her legs were weak, and she almost fell to the ground, and after a long time, she said in a trembling voice: "You... What did you say? How is this possible? The last time the police came to visit, they didn't find any of these things. ”
Ghost Shuo slowly took out a brand-new kitchen knife from the wardrobe and handed it to Qiao Hong, Qiao Hong was stunned and didn't dare to reach out to take it. Oni Shuo continued: "I saw the exact same kitchen knife downstairs just now, this should be the kitchen knife in your store. Qiao Hong glanced at it and nodded in acquiescence.
"But there's a groove here!" Ghost Shuo pointed to the seal of the kitchen knife as he spoke, and there was indeed a roll there, as if it had been cut on a hard object, if it wasn't for Ghost Shuo's reminder, it would not be easy to find. "This is supposed to be a mark that only happens when it is cut off on the skull. The police probably didn't notice the kitchen knife when they came. ”
"Will there be fingerprints on it?" Wang Daling reminded.
Ghost Shuo shook his head and replied, "There shouldn't be, the knife has been washed and wiped clean, and the murderer should have some criminal experience." He turned to Qiao Hong and continued to ask, "Didn't you say you lost a big box?" Let me ask you, if you put Xu Mei in it, can you stuff it in? ”
Asked by Ghost Shuo, Qiao Hong suddenly trembled and said in fear: "Should... It should be okay, my niece is not tall... Qiao Hong began to shed tears as she spoke, and she didn't know if it was because of sadness or fear.
Ghost Shuo led the two into the bedroom again, Ghost Shuo pointed to the corner of the wall, Wang Daling squatted down, and looked carefully, there was a small lump of soot on the ground, the light in the room was not bright, if it wasn't deliberately squatting down to investigate, it was really not easy to find for a while. Ghost Shuo waved his hand to Wang Daling, signaling Wang Daling to drag the single bed away, and the two of them worked together, the bed left the wall next to it, and Ghost Shuo stepped forward to take a photo with his mobile phone! There were really a few drops of blood between the bed and the wall, but it wasn't big, it looked like it had been splashed. This scene had already frightened Qiao Hong.
Ghost Shuo went out of the bedroom door and made a phone call, and after a while, he turned back and said to Qiao Hong: "I called the criminal police team, and a police officer will come over to conduct a DNA comparison of the blood in a while, and the results will be available soon." ”
