Chapter Twenty-Five: Bring Her Here
"This work is not without results, and it can even be said that it is very progressive. Although I haven't completely scratched my head about your conversation, we have now made it clear that his purpose should not be for sentencing, and that the last victim is the key. ”
Walking out of the interrogation room, Lu Cheng said to Shen Ran. He raised a hand, habitually wanting to pat Shen Ran's shoulder and give him affirmation.
But as soon as his hand was raised, he found that Shen Ran was not standing next to him at all.
Lu Cheng turned his head and saw that Shen Ran was walking behind him, and there was still a considerable distance. Lu Cheng's hand hung there, a little embarrassed, so he had to pretend that he hadn't done this action, scratched the back of his head, and put it down again.
Shen Ran lowered his head, as if he was still thinking about the conversation just now. Lu Cheng didn't know why Shen Ran walked so slowly, whether it was because he was thinking or for some other reason, which made him a little unaccustomed, so he also slowed down and gradually narrowed the distance between the two.
"Do you have any other thoughts on this interrogation?"
Shen Ran pondered for a moment and replied, "I want to see the information of the last victim." ”
Hearing Shen Ran put forward this idea, Lu Cheng immediately understood, and he nodded in agreement: "Now it seems that our top priority is indeed to do some more investigation of the last victim, starting with her relationship with the suspect." ”
When it comes to the relationship between the victim and the suspect, police investigations in the past have always believed that the two are the same as the previous cases, and the two basically have no intersection, that is, after a chance encounter and conversation, and finally the actual criminal act, no special thing was found.
"But there is one point, the information of the last victim, compared to the previous ones, is the most scattered."
"Oh? The most scattered, what does it mean? ”
"I'll show you." Lu Cheng didn't say much, took Shen Ran back to his office, took out a bag from the filing cabinet, and put it on the table.
Originally, Shen Ran did not have the permission to see these materials, but now as a consultant, he has an official identity, has signed a confidentiality agreement, and can participate in the investigation of the case.
"The last victim has incomplete information, it is impossible to accurately grasp her whereabouts, there are no witnesses, although she is a school student, she has been absent from school all year round, and no one cares about her family, hey, the family situation is not very good."
As he spoke, Lu Cheng took out a stack of documents from his bag, and on top of it were several photos of the victim.
"This is a photo of the crime scene at that time, you might feel uncomfortable when you look at it, right? The back one is a photo of her and her classmates. ”
When Shen Ran saw the first photo of the scene, at first glance, he was indeed cold and a little shocked.
It was a woman lying on the tiled floor, and judging by the blood on her neck and the ground, she should not be alive.
If Li Mingyu saw this photo, he would still insist on shouting like that, isn't she dead? Shen Ran thought.
However, isn't the person who caused this situation himself, and where did his disbelief come from?
Take the first photo and scroll down to the last group photo.
The first time he saw that photo, Shen Ran didn't think there was anything special, he didn't know any of the people in this photo, this was a group photo of the class, and the victim was standing in the corner of the second row.
But when he wanted to put down the photo, a strange feeling rose in his heart.
He took the photo and didn't put it down.
"What's wrong?" Lu Cheng observed his actions.
It was a familiar feeling, and that face gave him a sense of familiarity.
Where have you seen it?
Suddenly, Shen Ran's pupils shrank suddenly, he raised his head, and looked straight ahead, his eyes were not focused.
"What do you think of?" Lu Cheng asked.
He turned his head to look at Lu Cheng and said word by word: "I see, I've seen her." ”
"Seen her? Here's a picture of her at school, did you see her near the school? ”
Shen Ran shook his head and said more solemnly: "At the scene of the crime, it was the woman I saw. ”
Lu Cheng hadn't understood what Shen Ran meant at first, but after a second, his pupils also changed.
He looked at Shen Ran in a daze and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
Shen Ran sighed and said, "I can't be 100% sure. At the scene of the crime, a maturely dressed woman was seen, but in this photograph it was a young girl wearing a school uniform. I just judged by her appearance, especially those eyes, her eyes were very distinctive. ”
Lu Cheng also picked up the photo and looked at it, her eyes didn't look very energetic, slightly drooping, but her eyes were slender, showing a different kind of beauty. I don't smile when I take pictures, and the whole person presents a listless sense of misanthropy, at first glance, it is not as eye-catching as several other girls, but if you look closely, she has a unique temperament.
"If you change your dress, you may indeed become the pretty woman you say."
"Hmm. There's one more thing I didn't tell you before. ”
"What?" Lu Cheng felt that what he had just said was enough for him to digest for a while, and he couldn't guess what Shen Ran would tell him.
"I saw her at home."
"What!" Lu Cheng felt his eyes widen. "What do you mean?"
"Don't be nervous." Shen Ran said calmly: "Maybe I didn't see her, I just had a dream." ”
"What did she dream about, what did she do to you?" Lu Cheng was indeed a little nervous all of a sudden, he didn't immediately question how impossible this matter was, but after Shen Ran said it, he chose to believe it as soon as he could. Subconsciously, he was also worried about what danger Shen Ran would encounter.
"All I remember is that she sat on the windowsill of my house, turned around and said something to me, and then jumped off the windowsill."
"Jump?"
"Well, I went to the windowsill after I woke up and looked, there was no trace, no one fell there." Shen Ran paused and said, "I know, this sounds like a dream, or maybe it's just a dream, but the feeling at that time was very real." ”
Shen Ran remembered the open window.
"Hmm......" Lu Cheng lowered his head and touched the fine stubble on his chin, and said, "What did she say to you?" ”
Shen Ran didn't expect that he was quite serious about this dream of his own, so he didn't stop talking about it.
"I really can't remember what she said before, but when I saw this picture just now, I suddenly remembered."
Hearing Shen Ran say this, Lu Cheng became more serious, he approached Shen Ran, and asked with a serious expression, "What is it?" ”
"Take me to him. She said, take me to him. ”
Lu Cheng was silent.
Shen Ran didn't speak again.
It's a bit mad to say this, a dead man said he wanted to see her killer, and the timid person was already in a cold sweat at this time. But no matter how you look at it, this can only be heard as a story, or it can be regarded as a dream, not taken seriously.
Lu Cheng did not draw conclusions about this.
"What do you think?" He still asked Shen Ran's opinion first.
"I don't know, I'm just telling you that I haven't been in this situation, isn't it ridiculous, should I help her...... But how can you help her? ”
Shen Ran also dragged his chin and thought hard.
"Huh," Lu Cheng Chang exhaled, and his words changed: "After saying so much, it's time for dinner, I'll take you to a restaurant near here to have a meal." I'll call them by the way, people may not be there yet, but it's time to say hello today, etiquette has to be done, it's just wronged you, just eat what's right. After eating, let's have a meeting and discuss it together. ”
Lu Cheng didn't want Shen Ran to be too tired.
Let him think what to do alone, they are a team, and they should let those cubs think together.
They found a nearby Sichuan restaurant with ordinary decoration, and Lu Cheng gave a death order, not at the scene, they all put down their work and rushed to eat.
As soon as Ding heard about it, he also rushed to join in the fun.
The fat man and Xiaomei Shen Ran have already met and met. Lu Cheng still introduced the servants again.
"Fatty, good at information and technical analysis, can endure loneliness, can endure boredom, is our little information expert."
After Lu Cheng finished speaking, Xiaomei hurriedly applauded to set off the atmosphere. Shen Ran also nodded in respect.
Then it came to her, "Xiaomei, personal follower, this girl is strong, and she is the most suitable for field work." Xiaomei rolled her eyes, and she didn't want to shoot her palm.
Shen Ran had no choice but to smile and reply a few words, praising and thanking Xiaomei for her dedication and help.
"This is our young forensic doctor, Ding Yi, professional and strong, character, then we have to ask him about his girlfriend."
"Hey, Lao Lu......" Ding Yi almost got up from his position when he heard this, but found that he couldn't refute it, so he sat down obediently again.
"This is Shen Ran, you all know each other, psychologist. In the future, we will be a team and help each other. ”
"Eh, I can see it, the army just likes the new and hates the old, and we are all although, but the evaluation is only praised by Expert Shen." Ding Yi said indignantly.
The fat man and Xiaomei glanced at each other, and the two of them held back a meaningful smile, and did not remind Ding Yi, just looked at him like this.
Lu Cheng also looked at Ding Yi.
"Have I ever liked you?" Then, he asked with a cold face.
"Rely on ......" Ding Yi was speechless.
The gossip duo couldn't hold back a snicker.
After eating, Ding Yi and a few people dispersed.
Shen Ran followed the other three back to the conference room for a meeting.
Shen Ran gave a general introduction to what happened.
The more Xiaomei and the fat man listened, the more wrong they became, and in the end, the two of them broke out in a cold sweat.
Shen Ran's voice was low and calm, but it had a cold effect.
Hearing the middle of it, Xiaomei suddenly shouted, and the atmosphere of fear reached its peak, "Just now, someone touched my right hand just now!" ”
They sat around a table, and there was just one empty seat on Xiaomei's right, so it was impossible for anyone to touch her from the right.
The fat man said helplessly: "That's your left hand......" He whispered: "Just now I was excited and touched your left hand......"
Lu Cheng stroked his forehead, wondering if it was a mistake to call them over.
Shen Ran was not interrupted and continued to speak patiently.
"Could she really not be dead?" Xiaomei listened to Shen Ran's words vividly, thought of Li Mingyu's testimony, and doubted the possibility that the victim was still alive.
"Impossible." Shen Ran shook his head and said, "I've seen the photos, in addition to the photos when she was a student, I also looked at the photos of her when she was killed, although there was blood on her face, but I can be sure that it was the woman I saw." ”
Xiaomei didn't dare to come out when she heard the atmosphere.
In the end, Shen Ran said: "That woman wants me to take her to see him, but how can I help him?" There's no way I'm going to get her body out of the morgue, and there's no way I'm really going to confront a corpse. It's ridiculous and it's not compliant. Did she mean it literally? ”
Shen Ran was still doing logical analysis, but Xiaomei muttered, "Ah, bring her." Do you have to put some glutinous rice, rice wine, copper coins, and light a candle or something on the table? ”
Her voice trembled a little.
"What do you say! We are policemen, four youths, materialist defenders! Lu Cheng rebuked angrily.
Shen Ran smiled: "I shouldn't use those, and I won't either." My ability is nothing more than to perceive more, and usually all I perceive are the marks left by the living, which is rare, and I don't know if I can also perceive the thoughts of the deceased. ”
He thought for a moment and said, "All I can do is the second half of the sentence, go see him." As for bringing her here, what you said about putting something on the table is an attempt......"
"Do you have an idea?" Lu Cheng looked at Shen Ran's expression and had a premonition.
