Chapter 90: The Murder Network (1)
"What do today's children think, they have lost their lives in their good youth, hey!" Tang Zhenguo looked at his phone and sighed.
I know what he's talking about, he's talking about the high school girl who committed suicide by jumping off a building in the early hours of yesterday morning. According to the report, the high school girl committed suicide by jumping off the building because of the increased pressure on her studies and the fact that she failed an exam and was scolded by her parents.
I didn't answer Tang Zhenguo, because in my opinion, death is a relief for people with fragile minds. I don't have the slightest hint of abuse or sarcasm, because I think that the fragility of the soul will bring a lot of distress and confusion to people in life. There are so many things that a person has to face in his life, and some unforeseen things will appear without realizing it. The death of a loved one, the abandonment of a lover, the loss of money, the injury of the wicked, the destruction of nature, etc., without the control of a sound mind, the human soul is easily and irreparably damaged.
When the soul is traumatized, it cannot be healed after a period of time like a skin injury, the wound of the soul will accompany a person's life, it will erupt from time to time in some places that touch the scene, it will not slowly fade with the passage of time, but become deep-rooted and heavier.
A person with a strong mind will endure this pain and use the sunny way of life to resolve this pain. But people with fragile minds will suffer from this kind of mental pain for a long time, they can't get out of the hurdle in their hearts, and finally accumulate grievances and become hurts, and finally use extreme means to end their lives.
Tang Zhenguo is still lying on the sofa looking at his mobile phone, he is very concerned about this kind of youth incident, which may be driven by his sense of responsibility as a father. But I think he was overly worried, because in my eyes, his daughter Sugar Candy is the most optimistic and positive girl of her age, and this may have something to do with her ability to listen to the beauty of the world.
I stared at the burning candle on the workbench, the golden light flashing in my eyes, I was not nervous, I was not in a daze, and I was not trying to control the candle flame into various forms through my powerful mind. I am using the candle flame to dig into the deep memories of my soul, I want to pull out the graceful image in my mind that only appears under the influence of alcohol, and I want to concentrate my spirit in this candle flame. Maybe the candle flame will allow me to see the faces in the depths of my memory again.
However, I failed.
The phone rang, it was Liu Lili calling, today is Saturday, is she going to take me out to do those boring shopping and tourism again? It's just that I have no reason to refuse her, because she has never refused my request to study corpses,
"Brother Ouyang, come to the funeral home, the body of the girl who committed suicide by jumping off the building yesterday is too strange, you must be interested in taking a look." Liu Lili said with some excitement on the phone. I don't know if this excitement of hers is because of the strange girl corpse or because of my imminent appearance.
But what Liu Lili said on the phone completely attracted me, so that a forensic doctor can feel strange corpse, how strange is that?
Tang Zhenguo and I went to the funeral home and saw the body of the girl Liu Lili said.
This corpse was first discovered by He Shu when he was being buried.
Because the girl fell from a tall building, her skull was dented, but after He Shu dealt with it, the body as a whole was not so unsightly.
Strangely enough, however, there were many other scars on the woman's body. Among them, the inside of the left arm and the inner thigh of the right leg have three cuts with sharp objects.
The wounds on the arms are three centimeters long, and each wound is about one centimeter apart, parallel to the palm of the hand. The wounds have scabbed over and appear to have been injured for more than ten days.
The wounds on the inner thigh are longer, six centimeters long, and each wound is two centimeters apart, parallel to the knee, and the scabbing is not as severe as the wound on the arm.
She had severe abrasions on the outside of her arms and knees, most of which were caused by high-speed friction. For example, if you fall while riding a bicycle or motorcycle, but you can also get this from falling on a skateboard or ice skate that is moving at a fast pace.
But the strangest thing is that the girl has a red heart-shaped scar on her left chest. This scar is supposed to have been pricked by the deceased himself with a steel needle, dipped in red dye, and stitched by himself.
Her scars all over her body make me wonder? Why did this young girl engage in so much self-harm? The love tattoo on her chest was left because of something she was stimulated by in her early love?
I frowned and said nothing, I felt that the death of this little girl was far from jumping off the building because of academic pressure and scolding. The reason why she committed suicide by jumping off a building must be more complicated.
I asked Liu Lili to examine the female corpse's lower body, and Liu Lili was surprised to find that the dead girl was no longer a virgin, and suspected that the girl was pregnant.
So I suggested that Liu Lili apply to the higher authorities for a further autopsy of the female corpse. Tang Zhenguo and I rushed to the criminal investigation team and reported the situation to Lao Lu.
After Lao Lu learned about this situation, he attached great importance to it, so he took us to the family of the deceased to understand the situation.
Arriving at the girl's home, we found the girl's mother.
When I first saw this mother, she gave me the impression that she was haggard, extremely haggard. The eyes were red, apparently caused by poor sleep and crying.
After Lao Lu made his intention to the mother, she let us into the house.
The house is not big, two bedrooms and one living room, but it is very warm, with a cross-stitch with the title "All the best" on the wall, as well as a beautiful artistic photo of her daughter's youth.
When I looked at the girl's art photo, the mother's eyes also fell on the art sheet, and then her eyes were teary and she couldn't stop crying.
Lao Lu comforted her a few words, and everyone sat on the sofa and began to understand the situation.
The mother's surname is Yang, her single name is Yizi, she is 38 years old, and she is an accountant in a private company. She was divorced ten years ago and lives alone with her daughter.
Her daughter, surnamed Yang with her surname and full name Yang Lingtong, is sixteen years old and a freshman in high school. Yang Lingtong, who was just admitted to a key high school with a high score, was originally lively and cute, and positive. But in just two months, her temperament changed drastically, and finally committed suicide.
I asked Yang Yi, "Before Yang Lingtong committed suicide, did he have any unusual behavior?" ”
Yang Yi wiped her tears with a napkin and said: "There are a lot of abnormal behaviors, she will get up very early on holidays, and then hide in the bedroom to watch a movie, and watch it all day." In the past, she used to go out with her classmates during the holidays, but after the start of school, she spent her weekends at home. She became very rarely talkative, sometimes she didn't say a word for days on end, and when I asked her, she just shook her head and nodded. I have a habit of returning late after school, and basically I don't come home until 12 p.m. on two nights a week, and I don't come back at all on one night. I asked her, scolded her, and beat her, but she just said that she was spending the night at the same class, and she didn't tell me which classmate it was. After Yang Yi finished speaking, she began to cry again.
After she calmed down for a while, I asked again, "She's been injured in a fall before, do you know what's going on?" ”
Yang Yi said: "She said that she was riding a classmate's bicycle, and when she was going downhill, she was too fast and fell down and injured herself. ”
I said, "Did she keep in touch with anyone during this time?" ”
Yang Yi shook her head and said, "I don't know, she rarely communicates with me, and she doesn't want to communicate with me about things." ”
"Did she have any signs before she jumped?"
Yang Yi thought for a while and said, "Except for being sullen all the time and not talking to me, there is no sign. But when I checked her phone and laptop later, I found that her phone had been restored to factory settings and the computer was formatted. ”
I frowned and thought about it, it seems that Yang Lingtong destroyed the evidence that could prove why she committed suicide before committing suicide. What is Yang Lingtong hiding?
I didn't tell Yang Yi about Yang Lingtong's possible pregnancy, because I no longer wanted this grieving mother to be hurt a second time.
After leaving Yang Lingtong's home, we went straight to the forensic identification center and waited for Liu Lili's final examination of Yang Lingtong's body.
After the results came out, Liu Lili's guess was verified that Yang Lingtong had been pregnant for more than a month.
Liu Lili took the appraisal results and said with certainty: "Yang Lingtong's death must have been because of early love that led to unmarried pregnancy, you see the self-harm wounds she made on her body, it must be because of the emotional trauma that made her heartache, so she destroyed her body, and now many of these little girls have this experience, and they still think they are cool." ”
I can't deny Liu Lili's speculation, because on the surface, Yang Lingtong's death is indeed likely to be due to the pressure of unmarried pregnancy, which led to suicide. But there is one thing that I doubt, that is, Yang Lingtong's mother said that Yang Lingtong always stays at home on holidays, and will return late or not at all in the evening after school. Just imagine, if Liu Lili is in early love, then her love object is likely to be her classmate, then the weekend must be a good day for them to date, but why did she choose to stay at home and watch a movie on the weekend? And early love must be young and happy, but from Yang Yi's description, Yang Lingtong never showed happiness. I think there's something else going on here.
So, I decided to go to Yang Lingtong's school to investigate.
From the school's investigation, it was found that the teachers and classmates did not have a very good impression of Yang Lingtong, saying that she was a taciturn student with poor grades. Of course, Yang Lingtong was admitted to this high school from other middle schools, and her contact with her classmates and teachers was only more than two months. The impression of classmates and teachers also stayed in the two months of contact with her, and it is normal for her evaluation to be biased.
At school, I didn't know much about Yang Lingtong, except that most of my classmates said that Yang Lingtong was introverted and depressed.
Just as I was leaving school, a sturdy boy with a height of about 1.8 meters ran up to me out of breath, and he said to me with tears in his eyes: "I am Yang Lingtong's boyfriend." ”
