Volume I: Chapter 28: The Murder Case of the Devil (2)
Cai Yang drove Xia Houdun to an apartment building in the new district, and the two went upstairs and came to the door of a house.
"I said hello to the police before," Cai Yang took out the key and opened the door, "This is the scene of the crime." ”
"One ladder and one apartment, rich man." Xiahoudun teased, walked into the house, and took a general look at the situation at the scene of the crime. The house was still plastered with the word "Happy", and the coffee table was piled with beer bottles and takeaways that had been dried.
"Since the police haven't officially closed the case, the house is still the original scene." Cai Yang followed behind Xiahoudun and watched in the room, explaining the situation at the scene in his mouth. "At that time, the male deceased, Guo Kaihe, died in the bedroom, and his body was curled up on the bed; The female deceased, Hao Shi, died in the living room, the body facing upwards and her head facing the direction of the bedroom. ”
"Heads up, head to bedroom." Xiahoudun closed his eyes slightly, speculating on what might have happened at that time, "In this case, this woman should have been going outside the house at that time." ”
"Yes, that's what the police analyzed at the time." Cai Yang echoed.
"That's strange," Xiahoudun turned to look at Cai Yang, "I remember that it was recorded in the dossier that the female deceased had the blood of the male deceased on her body, and the male deceased also had the blood of the female deceased, and the female deceased only had one wound on her body, which means that the murderer killed the female in the process of killing the male, right?" ”
"So to speak," Cai Yang echoed, "The analysis of the police at that time was that in the process of killing the man, the murderer was discovered by Hao Shi, who had just taken a bath, and Hao Shi turned around to run, but was chased and killed by the murderer." ”
"That's my problem," Xiahoudun said with a puzzled expression, "What is she running?" When he saw his husband being killed, he didn't step forward to stop it, but turned around and ran, what kind of logic is this? ”
When Cai Yang heard this, he shook his head and smiled, "Actually, this Hao Shi married Guo Kaihe, that is, to get his money, the two of them have no real feelings, and of course they can't sacrifice their lives to save him." And when they see ghosts killing people, normal people's first reaction is to run. ”
"I understand it quite thoroughly...... "Xiahoudun smiled, and his expression immediately became serious again. He walked to the bedroom window and the living room window to take a look, and found that the windows in the house were locked, and there was no trace of anyone entering them, so he asked Cai Yang again: "How do you judge that the murderer is a ghost?" ”
"Oh, it was the police who found us first," Cai Yang began to explain, "When the police were investigating the suspect, they found that in the surveillance video at the entrance of the community that night, a woman had taken an elevator to the floor where the murder scene was located, and wandered around the community after the time of the crime. After a police investigation, this woman was Zeng Sisi, the ex-girlfriend who was dumped by Guo Kaihe, and this Zeng Sisi jumped to her death two weeks ago because she was dumped. ”
"So you found this Zeng Sisi, and then overtook it, right?" Xiahoudun glanced at Cai Yang, turned his eyes around again, and began to observe.
"Yes," Cai Yang replied a little embarrassed, he knew that he had an unshirkable responsibility for this erroneous closure, "Xiao Wang is a newcomer, and I, at that time, I also felt that it was quite logical and a little negligent." ”
Xiahoudun didn't discuss the issue of responsibility with Cai Yang again, but calmly analyzed it for Cai Yang, "Aside from anything else, if it is really the powerful ghost you said about Zeng Sisi who came to the door to ask for his life, then it must have to knock on the door before entering the house, right?" ”
Cai Yang frowned, rolled his eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "It should be like this, because the ghost doesn't have the ability to penetrate the wall, and the ghost with a low resentment value doesn't have the ability to possess him." ”
"Yes," continued Charhoudun, "then, if it were to knock on the door and enter the house, someone would inevitably open it. The hostess died with only a bath towel around her, so it must not have been her who opened the door; And that man, if he went to open the door, the ghost would have done it at the door. There would never have been a death scene at the time of the crime. ”
"That's right," Cai Yang sighed, "I didn't think of it at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have caught it wrong." ”
"You don't have to blame yourself too much," Xiahoudun smiled lightly and patted Cai Yang, who was a little frustrated, with his hand, "Anyway, ghosts should be exceeded." ”
"But who is the murderer?" Cai Yang's emotions suddenly became excited, "The police have been investigating for so long, and the forensic identification report is also available, all of which show that it cannot be done by a person, and we have indeed detected that there is residual resentment at the murder scene, and the analysis of the damage to the soul is also suspected to be caused by a powerful ghost asking for his life." ”
"That's right, the murderer is indeed a terrible ghost," Xiahoudun immediately answered, "It's just not the one you caught before." ”
Cai Yang was a little puzzled when he heard Xiahoudun's words, "What do you mean?" You mean there are two ghosts? ”
"Yes," Xiahoudun replied, letting out a long breath, "Whether it is from the pinching marks on the corpse or the damage report given by the Spirit Recording Bureau, it can be judged that this is a terrible ghost life-seeking incident. At the time of the crime, the doors and windows had not been opened, the walls and cabinets in the house were pasted with red happy characters, and there was no hiding place for the ghosts. In other words, the ghost is attached to the person and enters the house. ”
"But," Cai Yang interrupted Xiahoudun and said, "According to the theory, after asking for his life, the ghosts will generally linger near the place of murder because their resentment suddenly subsides. But we searched all around, and only found the powerful ghost that Zeng Sisi had turned into. ”
"It's very simple," Xiahoudun looked out the window and looked into the distance, "This powerful ghost is going to kill more than this." ”
Cai Yang heard Xiahoudun's analysis, thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt uneasy, so he had to loosen his tie and let himself relax, "In other words, there is still a possibility of death?" Then we'll have to hurry up. ”
"There has to be a direction for dealing with it." Xia Houdun said, lowered his head slightly, put his hands in his pockets, and began to wander around the room.
Cai Yang was anxious, and he had a stomach full of questions that he wanted to ask Xiahoudun, but when he saw Xiahoudun thinking there alone, he didn't bother.
Suddenly, Xiahoudun raised his head and said, "I think the deceased must have been violated by many people before his death. ”
"What......" Cai Yang muttered, looking at Xiahoudun in confusion.
Xiahoudun walked to the window, subconsciously slapped the windowsill a few times, stabilized his mood a little, and then explained to Cai Yang: "According to my experience, the act of twisting the neck is generally done by a female ghost before his death. Multiple wounds on the body, as well as choke marks on the neck, especially the fact that the male deceased's heart was pulled out, can point to the fact that he was violated by the man before his death. The most important thing is the destruction of the limbs of the male deceased, which must be an expression of its sense of despair that was powerless to resist at that time.
"Why does it have to be violated?" Cai Yang hurriedly asked, "If the feelings are frustrated, it is also possible to express dissatisfaction with the feelings by taking out the heart." ”
"That's usually the case of him killing people, usually committing suicide due to emotional problems or whatever, these actions will not produce much resentment," Xia Houdun explained, "and it is really an emotional problem, then the ghost will definitely choose to hide, find an opportunity to harass him, and pester him for the rest of his life, instead of resorting to such extreme violent means." ”
Cai Yang moved his gaze to the side, thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to Xiahoudun, "You continue." ”
"When you come, you are attached to you, and when you go, you must be attached to whomever you go. is agile and unambiguous when committing murder, indicating that he was relatively young before his death. Xiahoudun muttered a few words to himself, then looked at Cai Yang and said, "We will now go to the police to see if there are any female deceased between the ages of nineteen and twenty-five who have been violated in the past two weeks." ”
"Okay," Cai Yang sighed, "I'll have to try it first." ”
Cai Yang drove Xiahoudun to the police station in the new district, where he met Qin Wei, the deputy director of the new district bureau.
Deputy Director Qin Wei is a man in his fifties, although he is middle-aged, he is radiant and energetic. He took Xiahoudun and Cai Yang to his office, and after pouring the tea himself, he sat on the sofa and said, "Indeed, we did find the eligible deceased in a nearby hotel a few days ago. ”
"Oh?" Cai Yang glanced at Xiahoudun, then looked at Qin Wei and asked, "Was he violated before his death?" ”
"In layman's terms, so to speak." Qin Wei continued: "The deceased was twenty-two years old, one meter six and five tall, died of suffocation, and had been violated many times before his death. ”
"How many times?" When Cai Yang heard this, he looked at Xiahoudun next to him with a calm face in surprise, and shouted, "Is there really more than one person in this way?" ”
"The murderers should be two." After Qin Wei finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Hearing this, Xiahoudun was a little distracted, and he involuntarily turned his head out of the window. It is regrettable that a young girl in the flower season was brutally murdered like this. At this time, Xiahoudun thought of his sister, girls are especially dangerous at this age, Xiahouling lives alone in the school dormitory on weekdays, and there is no one to protect her when she comes out and goes in, which makes Xiahoudun a little unreasonably worried.
"It's really worthy of Brother Monkey!" Cai Yang patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder, scared Xiahoudun into a tremend, and then said happily, "Just by imagining, you can guess that someone died like this!" ”
Xiahoudun stared at Cai Yang for a while, and then said lightly: "Someone died like this, why are you so happy?" ”
"What do you call me......" Cai Yang showed a tangled expression, "I'm happy that the case has made progress." ”
Xiahoudun picked up the teacup and just blew the tea leaves on it, but he didn't drink it, and put the teacup down again, "Then, Deputy Director Qin, about this case, has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?" Does the suspect have a target? ”
Qin Wei put down the teacup, his eyes were confused, and he paused for a while before looking at Xia Houdun and said: "The identity has been confirmed, it is a cosmetics salesperson in a department store in the city, named Qiu Wan, who has just joined the company." ”
"What about the suspects?" Xiahoudun sat forward, leaning his body a little in Qin Wei's direction.
"Actually, we have always felt that Guo Kaihe is a major suspect," Qin Wei continued, "It's a pity that when we were about to interrogate Guo Kaihe, he died at home." ”
"It seems that the girl's ghost has come to the door to ask for her life." Xiahoudun sighed slightly, raised the teacup, looked at the teacup for a while, and then asked, "What about the other one?" Isn't there another one? ”
"The other is named Chen Biao, he is very close to Guo Kaihe on weekdays, and he is also a major suspect." Qin Wei got up from the sofa and walked to the office desk to rummage through the materials on the table.
Xiahoudun glanced at Cai Yang, who had been drinking tea silently beside him, and then touched his head with his hand and said to himself, "The report of the day before yesterday, that is, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, it should be taken tonight." ”
Cai Yang put down the teacup, looked at Xiahoudun and asked, "You mean, the ghost is going to hurt people again tonight?" ”
Xiahoudun didn't speak, but nodded lightly a few times, and then asked Qin Wei again: "Qin Bureau, are you preparing to interrogate another criminal suspect here?" ”
"Yes," Qin Wei held a file bag in his hand, turned around, and looked at Xiahoudun, "The task force has found effective evidence, and the arraignment will be imminent." ”
"Then can we settle the matter of the devil and arrest someone again?" Xiahoudun got up and asked, and then continued to explain to Qin Wei, "Because the suspect is the most effective way for us to lure the ghost to appear, if the suspect is caught, the ghost may hide for a long time and cannot be overrun, and after a long time, it may hurt innocent people." ”
After hearing this, Qin Wei's originally serious expression actually showed a friendly smile, "Of course, our police will also actively cooperate with the work of the Spirit Recording Bureau." After that, he handed the file bag in his hand to Xiahoudun, and then said: "Here is some information about this case, I hope it will be helpful to the two of you." ”
At ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Biao returned to a high-end apartment building, at the door of his house, and was just about to take out the key to enter the house, but he felt a chill behind him. He glanced back and saw nothing.
"What's that?" Chen Biao muttered casually, and just as he was about to open the door again, he glanced to the right with his peripheral vision, feeling a dark shadow beside him. Chen Biao turned his head to look to the right, only to see a humanoid monster in tattered clothes and a mantle standing beside him, the monster had a hideous face, no eyeballs, all dark white, and the big mouth that was split to the cheeks was slightly open, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.
Seeing this, Chen Biao hurriedly ran to the left, but fortunately the road to the elevator room was not blocked. Chen Biao pressed the elevator a few times, and began to look for the stairwell that he had never seen before. He looked back from time to time as he ran to see if the monster was catching up, and then shouted "help". However, the one-ladder one-household pattern made his call for help not work.
Chen Biao came to the stairwell and was about to run downstairs, but was surprised to find that the monster was already waiting for him downstairs. Seeing this, Chen Biao hurriedly ran upstairs and went upstairs to seek help from his neighbors, because he couldn't distract himself from taking out his mobile phone to call the police at this time.
He went to the upper floor, but found that the door of the stairwell could not be opened, so he had to run to the higher floor, but came to the roof of the apartment building.
"Help! Help me! Chen Biao ran to the edge of the building and shouted downstairs, he glanced back and found that the monster had caught up. Chen Biao sat slumped on the ground and looked at the monster in horror, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I hate it!" The monster screamed wildly, stretched out its claws and rushed towards Chen Biao.
Suddenly, there was a flash of swords, and the monster's chest was slashed by a sharp weapon, and it screamed and took a few steps back.
The person who came was Cai Yang, who was holding a short knife in his hand, which looked only a little longer than an ordinary dagger, and was dark iron gray from the blade to the handle, called "Heavenly Fall Cut". Cai Yang pointed at the monster with the skyfall cut, took a few steps forward, and stood between it and Chen Biao, "Since you are already the deceased, rest in peace!" ”
