Chapter 133: Something Happened!
The taxi stopped smoothly at the door of the Spring Bar, and Fang Fan asked the driver before getting out of the car.
"Master, didn't we really see each other last night?"
The driver said impatiently.
"Really, get out of the car. I'm going to have a business. ”
Fang Fan put the fare on the seat and got off, and the taxi drove away into the distance. There were still a lot of questions in Fang Fan's heart, but it seemed that he couldn't get the answers he wanted no matter what.
"Old Fang, why did you go?"
Zhang Ze came out of the bar and happened to see Fang Fan with a tired face.
"It's nothing, I went to the cemetery last night."
Zhang Ze asked with a look of surprise.
"Huh? Don't you say you slept in the cemetery all night? ”
"Let's go, let's go in."
"You go in first, I'll go out and buy something."
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze parted at the door of the bar, and when Fang Fan walked into the bar, he saw Mishima cleaning up the messy battlefield last night. The two looked at each other, and Mishima said.
"Last night..."
Before he finished speaking, Fang Fan interrupted.
"I'll wait for Zhang Ze to come back later, I'll go find Jianyue first, what about the others?"
"It should be inside."
Fang Fan went to Guo Jianyue, handed the whip that the masked man gave him last night, and said.
"You can help me see if there are any tracking devices in this."
Guo Jianyue held the whip in his hand and found that the whip had a total of 9 sections, each section had a device for discharge, and there was a layer of insulating silicone on the handle. Guo Jianyue said after carefully inspecting it.
"There's no tracking device, just a whip that can be energized."
"Thank you."
After Zhang Ze came back, Fang Fan told everyone about last night, and they were all guessing the identity of the masked man. At this time, Han Shuo said.
"Come here."
Fang Fan and the others walked over when they heard the sound, and Han Shuo continued.
"This is what I just saw on the police network. Last night, there was a vicious homicide on Beichuan Road, the deceased was skinned and cramped, and the murderer also hung the body from a tree, and used spotlights to hit the corpse around, as if he was exhibiting a work of art. ”
The case caused Zhang Ze to be extremely uncomfortable, and the corners of his mouth were about to reach the root of his ears.
"Who is so perverted?"
Fang Fan looked at the photo of the deceased hanging from a tree and asked.
"Is there any basic information about the deceased?"
"The deceased's name is Shi Luoxin, female, 28 years old this year, unmarried, living in a rental apartment in Liangyuan Community, Beichuan Road. Not only is she the manager of the Eternal jewelry store on Beichuan Road, but she also usually works as an anchor on a platform called Late Night Close. The body was found in a tree near the artificial lake in the neighborhood where she rented. ”
Fang Fan touched the stubble on his chin and thought thoughtfully, and then asked.
"What is the content of the deceased's usual live broadcast?"
Han Shuo found a video from the Internet and said.
"Mostly ASMR."
Zhang Ze asked with a puzzled expression.
"What is this?"
Fang Fan said lightly.
"ASMR refers to the unique and pleasant stimulation produced by the human body in the skull, scalp, back or other parts of the body through sensory stimuli such as sight, hearing, touch, and smell. The full name is Autonomous sensory meridian response.
In the early days, ASMR was very popular in Europe and the United States, and it can not only make people happy but also help people sleep, so many sleep aid institutions are very respectful of ASMR. However, some people later associated ASMR with sex, because it can make people feel a pleasure that has never been seen before. ”
"Old Fang, you really know a lot."
"It's all something I accidentally saw on the Internet when I couldn't sleep at night."
When Shi Luoxin's voice in the video was transmitted through the human ear microphone, everyone present felt extremely soothed. With the sound of one after another, it seems that a hand that cannot be pressed is sliding past the ear, and then through the ear and through the scalp, and the tingling sensation spreads from the top of the head all over the body. After a while, Zhang Ze said in particular disappointment.
"It's a pity that such a powerful anchor was killed."
Fang Fan pushed him with his elbow and said.
"Now is not the time for you to be sad."
"Old Fang, we must catch the murderer and avenge Schlokhin."
Fang Fan gave him a blank look and said with a smile.
"I reckon if she's still alive, you'll be able to give her all your possessions."
"Not really, all my belongings are in Wanli."
Fang Fan shook his head and asked.
"Han Shuo, how is Shi Luoxin's family background?"
"To say that, that's pretty powerful. Schlohin's father was an executive director of a multinational conglomerate, and his mother, an employee of a state-owned enterprise, died in an accident not long ago. ”
"How can the executive director of a multinational group intersect with the employees of a state-owned enterprise? Could it be that Schlokhin is an illegitimate daughter? ”
"Quite possibly. Because Shi Luoxin's father's genuine wife is the daughter of the former chairman of the multinational group, but now Shi Luoxin's father is dying. ”
"What do you mean?"
"He is said to be terminally ill."
Zhang Ze pouted and said.
"It's another vulgar episode of a rich son mutilating an innocent young woman."
Fang Fan ignored Zhang Ze and then asked.
"Han Shuo, can you find out if there is any intersection between Shi Luoxin and his father in recent years?"
"What are you doing here?"
Fang Fan touched the stubble on his chin and said.
"There are roughly two directions of clues that can be traced now, the first is the murder of perverted brain-dead fans on the live broadcast platform, and the second is the inheritance dispute."
"Damn, it's getting more and more vulgar."
Fang Fan chuckled and said.
"Life is meant to be repetitive. Okay, Han Shuo continued to check Shi Luoxin's dealings with his father in front of him, Mishima was in charge of support, and Zhang Ze and I went to Beichuan Road to have a look. ”
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze drove to Beichuan Road, and the street was like a scene from a comic, quiet and clean. On both sides of the road, there are willows, and the figures of birds shuttle back and forth, high and low. It is hard to imagine such a brutal and bloody case on such a hard-to-find street. Not long after, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze came to the Eternal jewelry store, and the clerk greeted them warmly and politely.
"What do you need?"
Zhang Ze pointed at Fang Fan, and the shopping guide lady set her diligent and burning eyes on Fang Fan.
"It's nothing, in fact, we're here to inquire about someone."
"Who?"
"Schlokhin."
The shopping guide smiled politely and said.
"I don't know what the relationship between the two of you and Luo Xin is?"
"We are her friends and heard the news of her tragic murder last night."
At this time, a well-dressed and well-dressed woman came over and said.
"Hello, I'm the store manager, can you tell me something."
The shopping guide lady went to do something else, Fang Fan looked at the store manager and asked.
"Isn't Shi Luoxin the manager of this store?"
"Yes, but after she died, I took care of the shop for the time being. Is there anything you can do? ”
"We just wanted to find out if there was anything wrong with Schlohin's usual relationships."
Fang Fan said very implicitly, but this store manager is a straightforward person, she said.
"You can rest assured of this, Luo Xin is usually very popular in the store, and there are absolutely no enemies."
"And what about her personality?"
"Very cheerful, kind to guests and friendly to colleagues. Otherwise, she wouldn't have become a store manager not long after she joined the company. ”
"You said she wasn't hired?"
"Aren't you friends with Schlohim? Don't even know this? ”
"Oh, actually, we are her distant relatives, and this time we heard about her misfortune and rushed back on purpose."
The store manager folded his arms over his chest and said lightly.
"I haven't heard from Lohin about any distant relatives."
Fang Fan smiled embarrassedly and said.
"You know, there are always a few relatives who are embarrassed to say it, and unfortunately we belong to this category."
The store manager sighed and said.
"Forgive me for not revealing other people's privacy, please go."
"Don't..."
Before he finished speaking, the store manager left, and the rest of the people didn't dare to bother with them again. Fang Fan glanced at Shi Luoxin's colleagues around him, and suddenly he noticed that a girl had been sneaking a glance at them, and when they looked at the girl, the girl avoided her gaze. Fang Fan deliberately said loudly.
"Let's go, there's nothing to be found here, so it looks like we'll have to go and see where she lives. Hey, poor Lohin died so miserably. ”
After the two came out, Zhang Ze said.
"This store manager has too many eyes."
"Not only is it open-minded, but it's also very cautious. Let's go to the Liangyuan community now, we still have a baby. ”
"What baby?"
Fang Fan smiled and didn't say anything, and Zhang Ze kept asking. Zhang Ze pestered Fang Fan all the way to find out what kind of treasure it was, Fang Fan didn't say anything, and after a while, they arrived at the Liangyuan Community, and inquired with the doorman about the location of the artificial lake, and the two walked straight over.
"Zhang Ze, what time is it?"
"It's almost noon."
Fang Fan found that there was a special place for fishing next to the artificial lake, and the fish caught could be released or bought home, but the price of buying it home was very scary. This is probably the price deliberately set by the property staff in order to prevent people from buying fish, and its original intention is to let the residents of the community enjoy the fun of fishing. Next to the fishing area is a fishing gear rental point, Fang Fan said to Zhang Ze.
"Zhang Ze, do you know how to fish?"
"No, I can catch fish, when I was a child, Wanli and Mo Zhu often caught fish and ate in the pond on the island, all with this to improve the food, to..."
Fang Fan interrupted Zhang Ze's words in time, otherwise he didn't know how long he would have to chatter.
"Stop, let's go fishing."
Zhang Ze was getting more and more confused, he couldn't guess what Fang Fan was going to do. After renting two sets of fishing gear with the boss, they found two places to sit down, and next to them was an old man with gray hair. Fang Fan asked.
"Uncle, do you often fish here?"
The old man turned his head to look at Fang Fan when he heard the sound, although the old man's hair was white, his mental state was very good, his eyebrows were straight and high, and his eyes were bright.
"yes. If you don't come here every day, you will feel uncomfortable. ”
"And do you know about last night's murder?"
"Dead here?"
The old man suddenly looked frightened, and Fang Fan hurriedly explained.
"No, nothing."
"No wonder there are so few people fishing today."
After that, no matter what Fang Fan said, the old man no longer responded. As the minutes ticked by, the sun gradually set from the top of the head to the tip of the tail. The burning clouds in the sky were like cream ice cream poured with strawberry juice, Zhang Ze was so hungry that his eyes were black now, and he couldn't wait to eat the fish in the bucket directly.
"Old Fang, we've been fishing for so long, when can we stop?"
Fang Fan lowered his head and didn't speak, Zhang Ze leaned over to take a look and found that Fang Fan had fallen asleep, Zhang Ze was so hard that the roots of his teeth itched, and he muttered to himself.
"Tricked me into being a fisherman for an afternoon, but I fell asleep here."
The more Zhang Ze thought about it, the more angry he suddenly shouted in Fang Fan's ear, Fang Fan immediately shook his whole body, looked at Zhang Ze with a frightened face, and scolded.
"Are you crazy?"
"Am I crazy? You brought me over and sat down all afternoon, and you slept there. ”
Fang Fan smiled embarrassedly and said.
"Isn't this also for the sake of handling cases?"
Fang Fan looked at the time and said.
"Let's go get something to eat first, and then come back and wait."
"Old Fang, what are we waiting for? If you don't say it, I'll stop doing it. ”
"Yo, my temper is getting bigger and bigger. Okay, I'll tell you. We are waiting for the ghost of Schlokhin. ”
"What about waiting? Can you tell nonsense? ”
"We have a mother and daughter, and they can communicate with ghosts."
"Okay, do whatever you like, hurry up and eat, I'm dying of hunger."
Cut off and said that in the middle of the night, there was no one left in the artificial lake of Liangyuan Community, and the lights of the surrounding households were also extinguished. Only Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were still waiting on the edge of the artificial lake, Fang Fan looked up at the sky and found that the sky was cloudy at this time, which happened to obscure the moonlight and starlight. So he took out the gourd and released the mother and daughter.
"What is the matter with Engong calling us out?"
"Can you feel the spirit of a girl who hanged herself from this tree last night?"
The female ghost drew a circle in the air with her hands, and said after a moment.
"She's still here, just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that she doesn't want to come out to see you."
"You tell her we're here to help her."
The female ghost shook her head and said.
"No, she doesn't want to see you."
Zhang Ze sighed and said.
"If it weren't for the green snake to recuperate, why would we still have to bother."
"Even if the green snake is here, he can't act recklessly, this girl died sideways, and she died so miserably, presumably the current resentment is not ordinary."
Mother and daughter return to the gourd. Just as Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were about to leave, a person with a flashlight suddenly walked over from a distance, Fang Fan said.
"Look over there."
"How could anyone be here?"
"Hide and see."
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze hid behind a tree on the side. The man took a flashlight and walked closer and closer to Fang Fan and them, and finally stopped next to the tree where Shi Luoxin was hanging. Only then did Fang Fan see that the person who came was the woman who kept glancing at them in the jewelry store in the morning. I saw that she took out a few snacks and incense from her handbag, lit the incense, and then placed the tributes in turn, and then took out some paper money, and said to herself while burning.
"Luo Xin, I'm sorry for you, I'm burning money for you now, please forgive me, don't come to me. They killed you, so you should go to them. ”
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were both shocked when they heard this, and just as Zhang Ze was about to go out and ask for an explanation, Fang Fan suddenly signaled him not to move. The woman's voice gradually brought out a crying tone, and the more she spoke, the more sad she became.
Suddenly, Fang Fan saw a white arm slowly approaching the woman's back, and the woman had been hiding her face and crying. The hand rubbed against her back a few times, then circled around the woman and paused for a moment, and it looked around the woman's head as if it had eyes. At this time, the woman's hand to hide her face suddenly dropped, and then the white hand was attached to the side of her face, as if the intimate pampering between lovers. Fang Fan hurriedly called out the female ghost in the gourd, he was afraid that this key clue in front of him would be claimed by the unjust soul.
"Help."
Fang Fan's shout frightened everyone present, first the woman was so frightened that she almost fainted, and then it was Zhang Ze, who was watching attentively. Just after Fang Fan finished shouting, the white arm had disappeared, and the woman sat down on the ground and looked at Fang Fan and Zhang Ze weakly.
"Don't be afraid, we're good people."
Zhang Ze's words made the woman even more scared, Fang Fan pulled him aside and guarded, and then squatted beside the woman and said.
"Don't be afraid, we just want to find out why your friend was killed, so that we can help her get revenge."
The woman was too frightened to speak, and she got up from the ground tremblingly, her hands clutching the clothes on her chest. Fang Fan looked at her frightened appearance and suddenly noticed that her eyes had been staring at the female ghost behind him, so Fang Fan asked.
"Can you see ghosts?"
The woman nodded silently. Fang Fan immediately asked the female ghost to return to the gourd and said.
"Don't worry, she doesn't have any ill intentions."
After the female ghost left, the woman let out a sigh and said.
"I know you, you're the ones who went to the store in the morning."
"That's right, that's us. We have all heard what you just said, can you tell us the cause and effect? ”
The woman nodded and said.
"Come with me."
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze followed the woman back to the apartment she rented, and the woman took two bottles of water to Fang Fan and Zhang Ze and said.
"You sit down first, I'll go get something ready."
With that, the woman turned around and went into the bedroom, and after a while she changed her clothes and walked out of the bedroom, saying.
"Today is the first day, and I have to help Luo Xin set up the mourning hall."
"Could it be that she was killed at this time last night?"
The woman nodded, and Fang Fan then asked.
"What's your name?"
"Wei Ai."
"What is your relationship with Schlokhin?"
"We were high school classmates and later shared a house together."
"Listening to what you just said, could it be that Schlokhin's death has something to do with you?"
It's okay not to mention it, but when I mentioned it, Wei Ai's eyes were wet again. After a while, she sobbed softly, she said.
"I grew up seeing things that weren't clean, so I was alienated from a young age, and only Lohin wanted to be my friend. At that time, I was cowardly and inferior, but fortunately with Lohin by my side, my life would not get worse and worse. Later, we both failed in the college entrance examination, and then we decided to go to work, and our lives have been peaceful and uneventful. But just the other night, I suddenly saw a bruised child, his eyes hooked around my throat like hooks. I knew he was a ghost, and I didn't want to see him anymore, but when I opened his eyes, he was still there, not saying anything, not doing anything, just staring at me like that, and disappearing after about a minute.
I hadn't seen a ghost in a long time since I was with Lohin, and that time was the first time I had seen it in a long time, and then every two days I would see the ghost of that little boy on the balcony. Still looking at me like that without saying anything or doing anything. There will always be an accident when it should happen, Luo Xin went to bed early that night, I was in the living room to catch up on the drama, and the little boy came again. This time he spoke, and he said he was going to take one of us. If you don't want the other person to be taken away, you have to take the initiative to give your life. I hesitated, if I had given him my life, Lohin wouldn't have to die. ”
After that, Wei Ai cried loudly again. Fang Fan took out a tissue and handed it to Wei Ai and said.
"You don't have to blame yourself, human instinct is to live, and it's human nature that you don't make a choice at that time. In addition, I take the liberty of asking, are you and Schlokhin in a romantic relationship? ”
Wei Ai raised his red and swollen eyes to look at Fang Fan, and then nodded without Fang Fan's eyes. Fang Fan then asked.
"Have you seen that little boy again after Shrohim's death?"
"Nope."
Wei Ai's mood was still a little unstable, so Fang Fan said.
"Okay, that's all for today. There are still some questions tomorrow, I hope you can cooperate, I think you also hope that your lover can get revenge as soon as possible, right? ”
Wei Ai nodded and said.
"You can come at any time tomorrow, I've already taken a long vacation with the company."
"Thank you."
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze left Wei Ai's house, and when the night wind blew violently towards the two of them, they both shivered unconsciously.
