Chapter 56: The Wandering Place
After calming down for a moment, Liu Fan felt that he had to clean up the mess in front of him before dawn, otherwise if someone came to his house, his crime would be exposed.
He had to find a remote place to hide the body, and even if someone found out that something bad had happened in his family in the future, they would only think that Liu Fulai was the murderer, and that he and his mother were victims of domestic violence.
He thought of the forests that had been abandoned by wildfires many years ago and decided to hide his parents' bodies there. However, the combined weight of his parents was more than 200 catties, and it was impossible for him to transport the body to such a long distance at one time. Even if he used a cart to reach the barren mountain area, he could not carry a complete corpse to the burial site with his strength. There was really no way, he could only divide the body into several pieces and transport them back and forth several times.
Dismemberment was a nightmare that he could not describe in words. Especially when facing his mother's corpse, the entanglement and sadness in his heart almost tortured him crazy. This is the person who loves him the most in the world, and he loves the most, how can he have the hands to dismantle his mother's body and throw it into the barren mountains and mountains like garbage.
Perhaps, as he had promised, he should take his mother away from the country, even if she was dead, he could ......
He stared at his mother's blood-soaked head, and an extremely crazy thought came to his mind: Take it away, so that she can be with me forever.
When the sky broke break, Liu Fan left Sanqiao Village with a worn-out backpack on his back. From then on, he changed his name and began a life of aimless wandering.
From his teens to his twenties, he traveled to more than a dozen cities, worked all kinds of odd jobs, and had an extremely difficult life. And no matter where he is or what he is doing, his "mother" is always by his side and supports him through every tormented day.
In the fall of 2015, he came to R City and found a relatively satisfying job at an automotive service center with the skills he had previously learned. As the days passed, he grew to like the city and decided to live there for a long time.
On the evening of September 16, 2017, Liu Fan was watching TV at home when he heard someone knocking on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was a neighbor who lived opposite, He Yao. He Yao explained that her flushing toilet was broken and asked Liu Fan if he could help her fix it. Although Liu Fan has a withdrawn personality and is not good at interacting with people, he is embarrassed to refuse such a reasonable request from a girl. He came to He Yao's house with a toolbox, and repaired the toilet in a short time.
During this period, He Yao once borrowed his family's bathroom, which was originally a very common thing. However, when he returned home, he suddenly remembered that he had not hidden his mother's skull in the dark. (Because he was used to living alone, almost no one came to his house.) )
At this time, the black plastic bag containing the skull was placed on the table in the living room, so eye-catching, He Yao must have seen it, the plastic bag must have been passive, and the secret he had worked so hard to hide for many years was exposed because of a moment of negligence.
"No, I have to kill her to survive." A voice reminded Liu Fan in his head. Liu Fan quickly made a decision, anyway, killing people was no longer a difficult thing for him.
A few minutes later, Liu Fan came to He Yao's house again, under the pretext that his screwdriver had fallen in the bathroom, and he wanted to go in and get it. He Yao didn't have the slightest suspicion, and invited him into the house with a smile, without any precautions against the impending danger.
While He Yao was not paying attention, Liu Fan grabbed the fruit knife on the table and stabbed He Yao in the chest. He remembered the scene when he killed Liu Fulai many years ago, as if he had been caught in an evil spirit, he kept waving the sharp knife in his hand, until he was exhausted and out of breath, and he slowly stopped the movements in his hand.
However, the bloody corpse in front of him did not satisfy him, and he felt that he still needed to do something to prevent his mother's secret from being leaked once and for all. He returned home, took out a few nails from the toolbox, and "sealed" the victim's mouth forever.
Because of the impact of this incident, Liu Fan began to become suspicious, and suddenly lacked a sense of security in his life. He always felt that his secret was about to be overlooked, especially after He Yao's death, when the police came to investigate every once in a while, he couldn't wait to flee the city immediately and start over in another place.
On the evening of September 26, Liu Fan switched a route when he returned home from work because of road repair, and met a stall selling egg scones on the way. He happened to be hungry, so he went to the stall and bought an egg scones. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but when he made the payment, he found out that the man in his forties in front of him looked so much like Liu Fulai?
For a few days, he couldn't forget that strange and familiar face, and even dreamed that Liu Fulai crawled out of the grave and would settle accounts with him at any time. He blamed it all on the man who sold the egg scones.
To protect himself, he decided to kill the man.
He stole a very dilapidated electric car at the gate of the community, used it to track Xu Zilin to the scene of the crime, and killed him by killing He Yao.
After Xu Zilin's death, Liu Fan's mental pressure did not reduce, but became more and more uneasy. Another visit from the police finally made him unbearable. On October 1, he cleared his residence and left the city of R with his mother's skull.
On October 3, he came to Jinshui County and checked into a local hotel.
On the night of October 5, he met a teenager in the corridor of the hotel. At the time, the teenager was lying outside the door eavesdropping on the movement in his room. He felt that the boy would threaten him when he learned his secret, and wanted to kill the boy in the same way. It's just that Liu Fan failed to succeed in that crime.
The boy was lucky to be saved, and that was the end of his story.
Liu Fan probably told these things in the video, and so far, the ins and outs of the four cases have been very clear.
However, the police do not only want to know about Liu Fan's crime. Who recorded this confession video? Why does he always get ahead of the police to punish the criminals? Could it be that there are really traitors within the task force? If so, who would that traitor be?
Turning off the video, there was a brief silence in the task force's office. A room full of people, you look at me, I look at you, and there is more or less suspicion in their eyes. Xia Shi felt that such an atmosphere was very unfavorable to handling the case, so he cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Okay, before the matter is clarified, we can't mess with ourselves and let the enemy see our jokes in vain." ”
"But......" Before Meng Yu's words could be spoken, Xia Shi waved his hand at him, "Don't do it, tell me about the investigation over there." What happened to the policeman named Chen Tao? Is he suspected of committing a crime? ”
"There's no way he's going to kill." Meng Yu shook his head helplessly and introduced to everyone what he had learned from Yuanfeng Town. "Officer Chen has not left Yuanfeng Town recently, and he does not have the time to kill at all. What's more, he was slightly injured a few days ago, and it was not very convenient for him to move. But ......" Meng Yu paused, frowned slightly, and said, "A few days ago, Officer Chen received a strange phone call. ”
"Oh? What phone? Xia Shi asked curiously.
Someone called him to tell him that Zhang Guo'er's bones had been found and that he was well buried. Thank you to him for his dedication to this case and for thinking about it for many years. ”
"Can Officer Chen guess who is calling?"
"The phone was treated with special treatment, and Officer Chen couldn't make out the person's voice, but he did have a feeling that the caller might have an unusual relationship with Zhang Guo'er."
"Then did you find anything from your investigation of Zhang Guo'er's relatives?"
"No one has been found who meets the conditions for committing the crime."
"Wait......" Gu Song, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly interjected.
"What's wrong?" Meng Yu glanced at him suspiciously.
"I remember that Zhang Guoer's father committed suicide by jumping into the river, right?"
"Yes, on January 9, 2014, Zhang Anjian left a suicide note, and then committed suicide by jumping into the river."
"What about the corpses?"
"The corpse ......," Meng Yu thought for a while and said, "The corpse was washed away by the river and was not found." ”
"Then how can we be sure he's dead?"
"This ......" Meng Yu scratched his hair, and said in his heart that people had already written it very clearly in the suicide note, could it be that he suddenly changed his mind and didn't plan to die? Even if so, where did the others go? Why haven't you heard from you for so many years?
Seeing that Meng Yu didn't answer, Gu Song continued: "Although the possibility is very small, I think it is necessary for us to investigate Zhang Anjian in detail. After all, Zhang Guoer's other relatives are excluded, and the remaining most unlikely person has become a possible ......" (to be continued)
