2. Lights on
Then the master asked him if he thought there was anything else wrong, he thought for a moment and shook his head, and as he was walking around the house, I suddenly saw a black suitcase in another empty room where no one lived, and I recognized at first glance that it was exactly the same as the suitcase where the body was dumped.
I grabbed the suitcase and asked, "Where did you buy this suitcase from?" ”
I saw that his expression was a little strange at that time, and he didn't answer me, but just asked me, "What's wrong, is there something wrong with this suitcase?" ”
At this time, the master said in a tough tone: "You just said that how did you get this box?" ”
Who knows that he said: "This suitcase is not mine, I picked it up." ”
The master took one look at me and asked him, "Where did you pick it up?" ”
He said: "One day I came home from work, saw this suitcase in front of my house, at first I thought it was someone misplaced, so I didn't care, put this suitcase on the side of the corridor, who knew that no one took it for several days, I was curious, opened it to see what was inside, if there was any information, you can also contact the owner, but after opening it, there was nothing inside, it was completely empty, so I took it into the house." ”
The master asked again, "When did this happen?" ”
He said: "About a month ago, I brought it in and it didn't work, so I put it in my guest room. ”
The suitcase that was exactly the same as the case of the dumping of the corpse was still picked up, and it was almost a similar encounter afterwards, which made us completely vigilant, and the murderer's next target may be this single young man.
After the Jin team came, the master and the Jin team explained the strangeness in detail, and the Jin team took him back to the office under the pretext of recording the confession, in case the last time the front foot was gone, the back foot was thrown in the garbage heap again.
When the man arrived at the office, he was calm, and recounted all the details of his observance, and then let him stay in the center for the night, and the master and I sent him back the next morning.
Considering his personal safety, Deputy Jin and Nie both arranged for people to be deployed outside his house, firstly, to investigate the suspicious person in the previous dumping case, and secondly, to protect this possible victim.
The next few days were also uneventful.
Around the third day, the master suddenly said to me, "Someone has come to claim Fang Ming's body." “
Fang Ming was the deceased who was dumped, and I listened and asked the master: "Is it from his family?" ”
The master said: "It's his sister, it seems that there are only two of his sisters and brothers in the family, his parents have died, and he is the only two, and his sister is out of town all the year round, and it took some effort to get in touch." ”
I asked, "What about the corpse?" ”
"His sister agreed to pay for the refrigeration of the body, which was temporarily placed in the hospital's cold storage, and the case was clarified and cremated," the master said. ”
The master also told me that Fang Ming's sister said something, saying that about a week or two ago, that is, three days before Fang Ming's death, he and his sister had a phone call, to the effect that there seemed to be something wrong in his house, and he felt that someone had come into the house, and at that time, Fang Ming's sister also asked him if he had entered the thief, asked him to report the crime, and changed the door lock.
Later, his sister was not at ease because of this matter, and called him to ask him, but he didn't get through, and when he got in touch again, it was the police who notified him to claim the body.
I said to the master, "What do you mean by that, can you tell me?" ”
The master has always treated me well and did not hide it from me, he said to me: "There is no clue at all in the institute now, and it is likely to be an unsolved case, and it may not be solved for a while." ”
I said, "Because he lives alone and has little contact with people, many clues are buried." I wonder if the strange phenomena described by Li Haozong could have happened to Fang Ming as well, including the matter of that suitcase. ”
Li Haozong was the possible victim who later reported the case.
The master said: "If it is the same murderer, then it is a similar modus operandi, but now we have no evidence to prove this, no evidence, just speculation, or even blind guessing." ”
I said, "I want to go to Fang Ming's house again." ”
The master looked at me in surprise: "What are you going to do there again?" ”
I said, "I feel like there's something out there that we're missing, and I'd like to look for it again." ”
The master looked at me and didn't speak, he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, but changed his tone and said, "Then I'll go with you, so that you don't have to cause me any trouble." ”
With the help of the master, it was easy to go to Fang Ming's house. When we went to his house again, it was already night, because it was too dazzling during the day, and I only went downstairs, and when I looked up, I saw that Fang Ming's room was lit.
When I saw it, I was shocked, I was sure that Fang Ming's room was good, and I said to the master: "There seems to be someone in his house." “
When the master saw it, although he didn't speak, he could see that something was wrong, so the master and I rushed up in one go, for fear that we would miss something.
When we came to the door, the door was still locked, and the cordon had been removed, and the master took the key to open the door and went in vigilantly, but after we came in, the lights were out, and it was pitch black inside.
My master and I tensed up and checked the room, but there was no one.
We entered Fang Ming's room, and the light inside was indeed on just now, so why was it on?
I guess the murderer must have been here just now, and the reason why he came here again must be to find something.
So my master and I used a flashlight to carefully search every part of the room, and then found that the bed had been moved, and there were obvious signs of movement on the floor.
I asked the master, "Did you move the bed during the search?" ”
The master shook his head: "No." ”
So I said warily, "Then someone came and moved the bed." ”
So I got to the ground and looked under the bed, but when I got down, I saw a face and a pair of eyes staring at me, and I was so frightened that I jumped up and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that I was reacting so violently, the master asked me, "What's the matter, what do you see?" ”
I just felt a little incomplete in my speech, and I said, "There's a guy under the bed!" ”
There was indeed a person under the bed, but it was a dead man, and that appearance was somewhat similar to Fang Ming, except that there was no similar lipstick mark on his forehead.
And the master obviously recognized this person, and when he saw the corpse, he wiped his face with his hand again, and he said, "This is Lao Xiao." ”
I hadn't seen this person, and I didn't know who Lao Xiao was, so the master told me: "Lao Xiao is a former colleague who transferred and left a few years ago, and I haven't seen him for several years." ”
I was shocked and said, "Then he used to be a police officer, so ......"
I feel a little indescribable in the latter words, why did a policeman who has been transferred to another job die here inexplicably?
I asked the master, "Is there anything hidden?" ”
The master said: "There is no reason, at that time, he also resigned normally, and there were no secrets and grievances involved, he was better with me at that time, and I also knew his roots." ”
I listened and asked, "Do you want to report this matter to the office, or do you?" ”
The master glanced at me and lectured me: "Report, of course you have to report, do you want to bear a human life yourself, young people just don't know the depth!" ”
After saying that, he called Deputy Jin, taking advantage of this effort, I leaned down and looked at the situation under the bed, his death was very similar to Fang Ming, his eyes were very wide, you just had to lie down and look under the bed, you just could look at him, and when I saw this miserable white and terrifying face, it seemed that it was deliberately made like this.
I soon found that Lao Xiao's hand was a little abnormal, because when I lay down, the upper half of the corpse, the lower half of the body would be covered because of the space and perspective problems, and I found that something was wrong, that is, the lower half of his body, as if something was missing.
I then called out to the master, "Master, the lower half of the corpse doesn't seem to be quite right. ”
The master had just finished reporting the situation to the deputy team of Jin, and when he heard it, he also leaned down half of his body, but he couldn't see anything when he looked in from the outside, so the master said: "Don't move first, wait for the people in the team to come, don't destroy the first scene." ”
