Chapter 18: The Strange Case of the Bell Tower (12)

The tragic scene left behind in the detention room at that time and the indescribable weirdness in the surveillance footage really caused me to have a mental confusion for a short time. However, as time went on, I, who had always been extremely skeptical of the theory of gods and demons and demons, gradually became clearer.

As a consulting detective for the police, I have to give them the right direction to solve when there is such a big chaos inside the police department, so first of all, I can't go out of my way.

So when everyone was still in fear, I strode onto a desk, stood upright, and said loudly: "Everyone, please listen to me, you are public security officers, you must believe that there will be no ghosts and demons in this world, you must believe that all this is man-made, but their modus operandi is too weird and bizarre." ”

At this time, Lao Lu also jumped up with a big stride, and said in his firm and deep voice: "Brothers, I have been a police officer for more than 20 years, and I feel helpless for the first time, but I have not given up, and you have no reason to give up. Because this is the most shameful provocation that criminals have issued against us, we are the policemen who defend the people, and our minds cannot be broken, and our dignity cannot be broken. ”

The expressions of fear and hesitation on the faces of the police officers just now have gradually become firm, most of them are also veterans who have fought against criminals for many years, and I believe that their hearts will never be crushed by this bizarre case.

So I clapped my hands vigorously and said, "Okay, comrades, strike while the iron is hot, the criminal investigation team is now the scene of the crime, what to do, I don't need to say anything, everyone should act immediately!" ”

Lao Lu nodded, and shouted sonorously: "Action!" ”

As a result, the blockade of the crime scene, the collection of photographs and evidence, the search for fingerprints and footprints, etc., were all carried out in an orderly manner.

At this time, Lao Lu and I were both sitting at that desk, he patted my hand and said, "Ouyang, the team has really encountered unprecedented challenges this time, we have worked together for so many years, I think you can also see the current situation." The murderer is brutal, weird, and mysterious, and can infiltrate the police force to kill people without a sound. So I thought, you don't want to meddle in this case. ”

I wasn't surprised, because I understood Lao Lu's thoughts, but I still had to say it: "Are you worried that the murderer will be unfavorable to me?" ”

Lao Lu looked at my eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, all of us here have responsibilities, and no matter how dangerous it is, we will face it head-on." Unlike you, although you cooperate with the police, you are only an ordinary citizen, and you are not obliged to take this risk. ”

I smiled, lit a cigarette and said, "I have already fallen into the rivers and lakes, so why should I withdraw from the rivers and lakes during the bloody storm?" Lao Lu, you're too worried, don't I still have Zhenguo, the world's number one flying knife player, as a bodyguard? You forget, that demon also suffered from Zhenguo. ”

Lao Lu nodded and asked me for a cigarette, and I threw one to Tang Zhenguo next to me at the same time, and the three of them smoked cigarettes and didn't speak again.

In the process of smoking, my brain kept thinking and sorted out a detection idea.

After extinguishing the cigarette, I jumped to the ground and said to Lao Lu: "This police murder case is indeed bizarre, but it is not without a trace. First of all, we can start with surveillance, surveillance video is an electronic product, why the picture of electronic products is affected and jumps, I believe it will not be affected by ghosts like in horror movies, it is likely to be artificial. Here we can also think of some high-tech movies, don't there be IT talent intrusion monitoring scenes? Let's open our minds a little, in the real society, is there such a character who can also invade the police surveillance? This point can be handed over to the technical department to investigate and see if the monitoring has been tampered or invaded? ”

Lao Lu licked his dry lips, nodded and said, "Well, that's good, go on." ”

I glanced at Tang Zhenguo, who was listening attentively, and continued: "The second point, you come and see. I guided Lao Lu to the door of the detention room, pointed to the lock on the door and said: "This lock is not an electronic lock, not a combination lock, but a traditional key lock, but in the surveillance screen, the murderer did not make any unlocking behavior, just pushed the door, and the lock opened automatically, do you think this is possible?" ”

Lao Lu and Tang Zhenguo shook their heads at the same time.

I said, "If the lock is not locked at all, is it opened with a push?" Look again, although there are some scratches on this keyhole, these scratches are obvious, and they are left by the inadvertent contact between the key head and the lock surface when the lock is opened, and it is by no means left by picking the lock. In other words, the lock has not been picked. If the lock was opened before, it must have been opened by a key. ”

Lao Lu frowned, and said with some surprise: "You mean that there are ghosts in the team who are helping the killer?" ”

I said, "I can't deny it." Whoever is in charge of this key, let him come and ask him. ”

Lao Lu summoned a chubby policeman over the walkie-talkie, and then asked, "Lao Zhang, the key to the detention room has always been kept by you, where did you put it?" ”

Lao Zhang said: "There are two, one on me and one in the drawer of my office. ”

I said, "Bring me both keys." ”

Lao Zhang first gave me a bunch of keys hanging from his belt, and then turned to get another one.

I looked at the key that Lao Zhang gave me, except that it was a little old, it was nothing special.

Lao Zhang brought the second one, this key is obviously much newer, when I took the key, I felt that something was wrong, this key was actually a little sticky. I leaned in front of my nose and sniffed it, it smelled of plastic, I looked at the key again, and found a tack, and picked out a small milky white mud from the gap in the key. Now I'm sure that the key has been modeled with a special plasticine. This method is a replica of this old-fashioned key, which is most suitable.

So I asked, "Don't your drawers usually go locked?" ”

Lao Zhang scratched his head and said, "The drawer in the police station, are you still afraid of being stolen?" ”

I smiled, returned the key to Lao Zhang, and continued to say to Lao Lu: "Obviously, the key to the detention room was copied, so when the crime occurred, someone opened the door of the detention room in advance. ”

Lao Zhang hurriedly said, "Lu ...... Team Lu, I didn't do this. ”

Lao Lu glanced at Lao Zhang and said, "No one said that you did it, go get busy!" ”

Lao Zhang sighed, turned around and left.

I looked out the window, it was a little overcast, and I said, "I'm going to go outside, maybe I can find out the murderer's route into the police station." ”

Old Lu nodded thoughtfully, I guessed he was thinking about who was the ghost in the police station.

Tang Zhenguo and I walked out of the office building, and at this time, the chill hit, and I wrapped my coat. Tang Zhenguo looked at the misty sky and said, "Why did that killer kiss the dead Chen Mao?" ”

I smiled and said, "That's the kink killer fetish!" ”

When I said this, I suddenly wanted to give myself a heavy slap in the face. I almost jumped up, hammered Tang Zhenguo's back hard, and said excitedly: "Ah, I understand!" ”

Tang Zhenguo arched his shoulder armor and said, "Understand what?" ”

I said, "I just said that the kinks of psychopathic killers are incorrect. It is estimated that the killer kissed Chen Mo because the killer had already developed feelings for Chen Mao. If the killer has feelings for Chen Mao, then many things can be explained. ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "It's too mysterious, I didn't understand." ”

I said, "I don't remember the killer's home, it's like a couple's nest in love." If you can arrange it like that, even if it's a camouflage, you'll be brought into the mood. And Chen Mo herself is a big beauty, and it is very likely that the killer has moved her true feelings for her. Also, there are tear stains on the human skin mask, indicating that the killer cried after killing Chen Mao, which further proves that the killer and Chen Mao have true feelings. Then I make a bold guess that Qin Wenyuan's death is likely to touch the killer's bottom line. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Qin Wenyuan is also Chen Mo's mistress, and the killer instructed Chen Mo to hand over the indecent video to Qin Wenyuan, so Qin Wenyuan and Chen Mo will inevitably meet. In the process of this meeting, Qin Wenyuan is very likely to be refreshed, and Chen Mo wants to ask him to do things, so he is very likely to use this as a reason to ask Chen Mo to have an improper relationship with him again. And after this matter was known to the killer, the killer couldn't stand what Qin Wenyuan did because he had already established a relationship with Chen Mo, so he brutally killed him to relieve the hatred in his heart. ”

"It really takes a few people to catch up with your brain. If the killer falls in love with Chen Mao, then why kill her? ”

I shook my head, a question I couldn't answer. However, I still said: "Killing Chen Mo may be to kill the mouth, this should be part of the whole plan, but I still think this reason is a bit far-fetched." But the matter of killing Qin Wenyuan was definitely unplanned by the killer. ”

"Why unplanned?"

"I think that the killer contacted Chen Mo and planned all this behind his back, and his ultimate goal was to target Wang Weisen. And for Wang Weisen, there is no need to kill Qin Wenyuan. So even if the killer killed Qin Wenyuan, he still deliberately left clues, but the target was directly aimed at Wang Weisen. ”

"You mean the killer's target is Wang Weisen?"

"The goal is Wang Weisen, but killing him is never the goal."

"What's that?"

"I've always felt that the purpose is not simple, but I can't jump to conclusions right now. By the way, I almost caught the killer, but it's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Tang Zhenguo asked in wonder, "When?" ”

I said, "It was on the night I caught Chen Mo that I found a character who could be used, but when I opened his hat, he didn't have any injuries on his forehead, so I gave up." Didn't you hit the killer? With your methods, will the killer have a color on his head? ”

"That's for sure, I'll have to buy a new phone."

I smiled and said, "Because I didn't know at the time that the killer was wearing a human skin mask, even if there was an injury, it was under the mask." ”

At this time, the sky was brighter, and I walked around the criminal investigation team, and sure enough, I found some clues.

There were obvious footprints on the walls, but it was not easy to climb the nearly four-meter-high wall. So Tang Zhenguo and I found a big wooden ladder in the team and climbed up against the wall with footprints. On the top of the wall, I found scratches, so I smiled and muttered, "Fly the cornices and walk the wall!" ”

Jumping off the wooden ladder, Tang Zhenguo couldn't wait to ask me, "What did you find?" ”

I shook my right hand a few times, made an upward toss and said, "That's it!" ”

Tang Zhenguo was surprised: "No! There is really this method of locking the wall with a hook in martial arts films. ”

"Anything is possible."

After working for a long time, I was hungry, and when I walked out of the criminal investigation team, I ate a few bites of noodles casually and returned to the team.

When Lao Lu saw me, he said bluntly: "The surveillance was indeed invaded last night, and the other surveillance screens repeated the images of the previous period when the killer committed the murder, so his whereabouts were not filmed, and the surveillance of the detention room, as you speculated, was interfered with by technical means, so there was shaking." ”

I nodded and told Lao Lu about my findings and speculations, and Lao Lu shook his head and nodded again.

After I finished speaking, Lao Lu said: "From these aspects, it can be seen that there are at least three people who entered the police force last night to commit crimes. One killer, one who opened the door of the detention cell, one who broke the surveillance. ”

I nodded and said, "These three people, and perhaps more, are not ordinary criminals, they have very professional and even miraculous criminal skills. Lao Lu, you will be under a lot of pressure. ”

Lao Lu smiled and turned around to go to his own business.

The case that occurred in the criminal investigation team was not disclosed to the media, and Chen Mao's death was announced to the public because of the psychological pressure of being arrested. This reason can be seen by everyone, and it is too far-fetched to be far-fetched. Because Chen Mo was broadcast live when she was arrested, she also instantly became an Internet celebrity, and netizens and the media speculated that her death was tortured to death. For this point, Lao Lu is under a lot of pressure, but the clear person is self-purifying, and it depends on how the outside world talks nonsense, at least within the police force, they understand the truth of the matter.

A week later, Meng Mo's national arrest warrant was cancelled, because Meng Mo did not exist at all, and his portrait was just a human skin mask.

At the same time, Wang Weisen's indecent video was exposed by a netizen named "Dream Demon", and major websites and media reported it one after another, and WeChat and Weibo began to go crazy. At the same time, Wang Weisen was anonymously reported for high bribes, and the evidence was conclusive, and he was imprisoned. A generation of business empires fell apart in an instant.

Tang Zhenguo held his new mobile phone, looked at the real-time news, and sighed: "Ouyang, the "dream demon" of this exposed video can't be Meng Mo (in Wanzhou dialect, dream demon and Meng Mo are the same tone)!" Is this the ultimate goal of the killer? ”

I said, "A criminal gang, is it their purpose to bring down one person?" It's not that simple, and there must be huge interests in it. Vincennes Group is such a big shelf, even if the leader collapses, the value of the group itself is still there. I said, if anyone takes over this Vincennes Group, who is the real mastermind behind it? ”

"Really?"

"Joke!"

The murder case of the criminal investigation team eventually became an unsolved case, and the outcome of the murder in the bell tower was only my inference, and these two cases made me feel a lot of frustration.

Spring is coming, and the beautiful "Xishan Sunset" of the Xishan Bell Tower will be more and more moving. Wandering under the bell tower of Xishan, I looked at the inscription on the motto tablet, and my heart was full of emotion. I previously deduced that Qin Wenyuan knelt down and died in front of this aphorism monument because the murderer wanted to tell us that this person caused trouble because of "poisonous words piercing people's bone marrow, and people are sick in the jokes". Now it seems that my inference is still unsatisfactory, and what really meets the cause of death of the deceased is the adage that "good accumulation and great prosperity will prosper, and evil accumulation and great will die"!
