Chapter 5: The Criminal's Sin Part 2: The Red Shadow of the Supermarket

In less than an hour, the commissary was crowded with policemen handling cases, since the last case, Lu Xiang has become more and more respectful of Ghost Shuo, he is the driving force behind Lu Xiang's repeated strange cases, if there is no Ghost Shuo, he will encounter a problem one day, he is easy to catch blind! Therefore, a call from Ghost Shuo immediately attracted the attention of the criminal investigation team. At this time, Lu Xiang was loudly scolding the two police officers at the police station, half a year ago, the police to the commissary were handled by the two of them, but after tossing for so long, not only did he not find anyone, but even the kitchen knife in the wardrobe and the blood stains on the wall were ignored, no wonder Lu Xiang was so angry.

Ghost Shuo didn't care about this, he continued to ask Qiao Hong, "Does your niece have a boyfriend?" ”

"Boyfriend?" was asked by Ghost Shuo like this, Qiao Hong was a little surprised, Xu Mei was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and it was only a few months since she came to help from beginning to end, and she usually didn't have contact with anyone, so she probably wouldn't have any boyfriends, so she replied: "It shouldn't be." ”

Ghost Shuo frowned and said in a low voice: "This is not like an ordinary burglary, Xu Mei should be very familiar with the murderer, and the murderer is also familiar with the situation here." There was no trace of a fight in the whole scene, if a stranger broke in, no matter how much he covered it up, it would definitely leave clues, but the situation here is different, Xu Mei is more like receiving a familiar person, and then being suddenly attacked by the other party. By the way, how long did it take you to go from going out to when you came back? ”

Qiao Hong thought for a while and replied, "It's only three or four hours." ”

Ghost Shuo nodded and said: "That's right, after committing the crime, dismembering the body and cleaning up the traces of the scene, it will take at least that long, in other words, as soon as you leave that person, you will arrive, things in the world will not be so coincidental, they must have agreed in advance." ”

Qiao Hong also felt that it made sense when she heard what Ghost Shuo said, so she hurriedly dialed Xu Mei's father's phone, and a hoarse voice came from the phone: "Is there any news of Xiaomei over there?" ”

"No... No, I want to ask, Xiaomei, she has... Boyfriend? Qiao Hong asked with some embarrassment.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and it took a while to reply: "It seems that there is a baby, called... What Lin Chao! Yes, it's called Lin Chao, but I haven't seen it for a long time. Xu Mei's father's answer surprised Qiao Hong, because Xu Mei had never mentioned it in front of her, so she asked, "Lin Chao?" Where is he from? "Just our people here, they are also working in your Yunzhou!! Xiaomei mentioned it to me on the phone, what's wrong? What's wrong? ”

"No... No, you rest first, I'll call you if I have a letter from Xiaomei here. Qiao Hong felt guilty and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Ghost Shuo got the clue he wanted the most, and he continued to ask, "Xu Mei has disappeared for so long, has this Lin Chao appeared?" ”

"No, I've never heard of it!" Qiao Hong replied categorically.

Ghost Shuo entered the back room, Lu Xiang was still reprimanding, Ghost Shuo whispered in his ear for a while, and Lu Xiang took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone. In less than a while, all the policemen folded out, and Lu Xiang spoke: "Regarding the DNA comparison, and the person named Lin Chao, you can go home and wait for my letter, and I will notify you as soon as there is news here." And immediately the crowd dispersed.

Early the next morning, Ghost Shuo received a call from Lu Xiang: "The results of the DNA comparison came out, and it was really Xu Mei's!" However, that Lin Chao is a little... It's weird. ”

"Strange? What do you mean? Onishuo asked, somewhat surprised.

"People from their hometown to our Yunzhou workers, I asked people to check their household registration and temporary residence permit records, called Lin Chao a total of three people, one is fifty-three years old, died of a work injury a year and a half ago, one is more than forty years old, a year ago has also left Yunzhou to return to his hometown, I asked people to go to his house to understand, this time has not been out again, the family can also confirm, there is another, twenty-three years old, ten months ago arrested and imprisoned for manslaughter, he is still possible, but... How can a criminal go out and kill people! Lu Xiang wondered.

"Does the last one have a bail record or something?" Oni Shuo asked.

"Nope! He has been in prison for 10 months. ”

"Then Captain Lu, please pass me a copy of his ID card, and I'll go for a trip in the next two days." Oni Shuo said.

Wang Daling leaned over, asked about the situation, and suddenly became silent, and after a long while, he whispered: "Ah ghost, you say... Could this be a paranormal event? ”

Ghost Shuo replied helplessly: "Great Spirit, we have been through so many things, when have you ever seen a ghost?" ”

Wang Daling shook his head and replied, "This time is different, don't you know what the place is on the third bridge?" How could a good person be killed like this? And the most likely suspect is still in prison! Isn't that weird? ”

Ghost Shuo sighed: "Don't think about it, clean up, clean up, let's go tomorrow and find out the situation." Wang Daling's suspicion was denied by Ghost Shuo, and Wang Daling didn't know what to say for a while.

On the other hand, since knowing that Xu Mei may have been dismembered upstairs in the supermarket, Qiao Hong has already been scared half to death, yesterday the police just left, she didn't dare to stay in the supermarket longer, early this morning called a car to move the things in the supermarket empty, this matter has been busy until the evening, at this time the supermarket is already empty, the only thing that has not moved is Xu Mei's bedroom upstairs, where she doesn't want to go in again, the things inside will go with it, wait for the next tenant to deal with it.

Qiao Hong returned to her house at eight o'clock in the evening, but as soon as she was about to open the door, she couldn't help but feel numb on her scalp. Her heart was beating violently in her chest, and even on weekdays, she would never go to the supermarket at night. Although she is a foreigner, she has heard many people mention what is the place of Jiaosanqiao, but it is not only the key to the door, but also the important keys to her other places, if you lose it, it is also trouble! After hesitating, Qiao Hong decided to go back.

It was nearly ten o'clock back to Jiaosanqiao, there were not many people here during the day, and it was even more sparsely populated at night, Qiao Hong looked at the dark supermarket glass, her heart had already mentioned her throat, she slowly approached the supermarket, and finally arrived at the door, the key was not on the door, but there was a gap under the roller shutter door! Qiao Hong's heart tightened, she tried to remember that she obviously locked the door when she left, and the key should have been forgotten on the door lock, but at this time... Could it be that I really remembered it wrong? Qiao Hong mustered up her courage and reached out and slowly lifted the roller shutter door.

Due to the expiration of the rent, Qiao Hong did not renew the electricity bill, at this time there was no electricity in the store, but by the moonlight outside the door, the situation in the supermarket was also roughly clear, the current supermarket was very empty, Qiao Hong's own footsteps were heard very clearly. Qiao Hong's heart had already risen to her throat, she took out her mobile phone and took a picture of the house, she was very expecting her key to fall near the door, but... There was nothing near the door. She took a few steps into the house with courage, but suddenly she clearly heard the sound of water coming from upstairs, and the sound seemed to come from the toilet on the second floor. Could it be that you forgot to turn off the water when you left?

Qiao Hong didn't know where she got the courage for a while, she actually planned to go up to the second floor to take a look, "Dong Dong Dong" had just taken a few steps, and the sound of water upstairs suddenly stopped! Qiao Hong's heart sank, she didn't realize until this moment that she had actually walked to the staircase, in the face of the sudden silence, her back felt a chill, what was wrong with herself? Dare to come here, she took a deep breath and wanted to turn around and leave quickly!

But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, the sound of footsteps was very deep, every step she took, that inexplicable sense of fear made Qiao Hong gasp with fright, her legs suddenly seemed to be filled with lead, she couldn't move a step, her eyes just looked straight at the top of the stairs, and finally the footsteps upstairs stopped! At this time, Qiao Hong was on the verge of collapse, is this place really haunted? Is the footsteps upstairs Xu Mei?

Before Qiao Hong had time to think about it, suddenly a red figure with his back to her flashed at the staircase, his figure was extremely weird, and he couldn't see his head clearly! But by the moonlight upstairs, the clothes could be seen clearly! Suddenly, Qiao Hong's voice was stuck in her throat, she wanted to scream hysterically, but she was really powerless, and her legs were already weak with fright! She recognized that dress was the one Xu Mei often wore on weekdays, and the red figure took another step towards her, and let out a low hoarse roar of "ah"...

Qiao Hong almost crawled out of the supermarket, she never made a trace of screaming, a huge sense of fear wrapped her whole body, she kept looking behind her, fortunately the red shadow did not follow, when she ran away, the roller shutter door was slowly pulled down...

Because they had made an appointment to go to Xu Mei's hometown to investigate the case the next day, Ghost Shuo came to the office earlier than usual, and as soon as Ghost Shuo went upstairs, he was frightened by Qiao Hong, who was sitting at the door of the office! At this time, Qiao Hong's face was pale and her hair was unkempt, and she looked like a dead corpse. She heard the footsteps, and immediately woke up, and saw that the person who came was Ghost Shuo, and immediately got up from the ground, grabbed Ghost Shuo's arm tightly with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Yesterday... Last night, Xu Mei came back, back! ”

"Xu Mei... Coming back? Where is it? Oni Shuo asked in surprise.
