This New Year's greeting given to me by Lao Lu directly worshiped me to the criminal investigation team.

Lao Lu was alone in the criminal investigation team, because he took the initiative to ask to be on duty on the first day of the Lunar New Year, saying that there were too many people who went out to hang paper on the first day of the new year, and he chose to go to the grave of his deceased relatives in a few days. But I know that in fact, Lao Lu wants his brothers to have a good rest in this New Year, as for his own rest, I will talk about it later, anyway, Lu Jinfeng, whom I know, doesn't seem to have any concept of rest and vacation.

His office was already smoky, and I knew that he would only smoke so unrestrainedly if he was racking his brains and still had a hard time thinking through it.

"I've seen the face-burning female corpse, and there are many suspicions." I sat across from Lao Lu's desk and said.

Lao Lu threw a cigarette to me and said, "I know, Liu Lili sent me a text message last night, saying that you think this case is not simple, and it may be related to Qu Mo." ”

I picked up the green disposable lighter on the table, lit a cigarette and said, "Yes, there are too many suspicious points on that woman's body, especially the tattoo on the back, which is the same as the Angel of Resistance on the coupon." I don't think it's a coincidence, but a provocation on the part of Qu Mo. How the hell did the girl die? ”

Lao Lu took a puff of his cigarette and handed me a file.

With the cigarette in his mouth, he took the brand-new dossier with both hands. The moment I received the file, I was thinking in my heart that this case obviously happened recently, but I had never heard Lao Lu mention it, which was very inconsistent with Lao Lu's character. Because in the years of working with Lao Lu, as long as it is a homicide, he will mention it to me. In his words, it is my duty to help him solve these murders. But why hasn't he told me about this case until today?

I gave an answer in my heart, that is, this case was just transferred to the criminal investigation team, and it can even be said that Lao Lu went to the bureau to ask for this case.

When I opened the first page of the file, Lao Lu opened his mouth and said: "This case was not originally the responsibility of our criminal investigation team, because the case was initially judged to be a suicide, and I applied to the bureau, saying that it was found that there were too many suspicious points during the autopsy, and it was suspected of murder, so the case was brought to our criminal investigation team." ”

It seems that my speculation was correct. But why was such a bizarre death of the corpse judged to be a suicide? It seems that the answer has to be found in the file.

The 21-year-old woman is a third-year student majoring in chemistry at Bayu United University of Science and Technology. Because of a suicide note from her and a video material, the police ruled that it was a suicide.

The contents of the suicide note are strange, and the content is simple: I give my soul to my angels, I give my face to my master, I give everything I have to my faith. I didn't die, I just went to a distant and beautiful place, which was the other side of life, the divine heaven.

After reading this suicide note, I said: "Are the police sure this is a suicide note, not a poem written by a girl?" ”

Lao Lu extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray full of cigarette butts, and said in a low voice: "Yes, this is a poem written by a girl, and it is also a suicide note." Because the girl's sister confirmed it to the police. ”

I frowned and nodded, and continued to look at the dossier.

It is clearly written on the information that the girl also has an older sister, a half-sister, three years older than the girl, named He Yunjing, who graduated from the Department of Chemistry of Bayu United University of Science and Technology, and now works in Wanzhou Tengyun Chemical Factory. After He Xiuxin died, it was He Yunjing who cut off his face and burned his face, and applied nail polish. However, this situation was reported by He Yunjing to the police herself, and the police did not pursue criminal responsibility for He Yunjing except that they felt a little incredible. The reason is that He Xiuxin recorded a video with He Yunjing before her death.

This video has a text description in the case file.

He Xiuxin and He Yunjing left a video in front of a red curtain, which was recorded on January 24, and the two were thinly dressed as if they had just been drenched in the rain. On the video, He Yunjing didn't speak, her face was expressionless, only He Xiuxin was dictating some things that sounded plausible. The specific content is related to fallen angels, hell and heaven. He Xiuxin also said that she was willing to dedicate herself to the fallen angels, and after committing suicide, she asked her sister He Yunjing to cut and burn her face, saying that it was a ritual. At the end of the video, the two sisters face their backs to the camera and take off their wet and thin tops, revealing the tattoos on their backs. Their tattoos are put together to be a pair of angel wings. The tattoo of her younger sister He Xiuxin is the left wing of an angel, while her sister He Yunjing is the right wing of an angel.

The police initially defined the suicide case as a young woman who was lured by a cult organization to commit suicide.

However, in the course of the investigation, it was found that the two sisters had never had anything to do with any cult organization, and her sister He Yunjing was very calm when she was investigated, and she firmly believed that her sister had gone to heaven and lived a god-like life.

The police have ordered He Yunjing's family to send her to a psychiatric department for psychiatric evaluation, and the results should be available in the next year.

With this information, I saw a few of them.

The first is the college where He Xiuxin and He Yunjing's sisters are located. This Bayu United University of Science and Technology once again appeared in the case related to Qu Mo, and I still remember that Min Ke before him also graduated from the school. Is this a coincidence or is there some connection?

The second is that both sisters have tattoos of the wings of the resisting angel Lucifer. Now that my sister has committed suicide, will my sister also have this tendency? The key to investigating this case is, of course, to start with her sister He Yunjing.

The third is that there is a company mentioned in the information, Tengyun Chemical Factory, and both sisters are majoring in chemistry. So will this case be related to this chemical plant? And I know that every action of Qu Mo is aimed at some large enterprises, if this case is related to Qu Mo, then this chemical plant will be his target this time?

But that makes me suspicious. Because according to past experience, when Qu Mo started on the enterprise, the people he targeted had a pivotal position in the enterprise, and moving one person could affect the development of the entire enterprise. In this case, it is difficult for two young girls to have an impact on the development of a company. Could it be that I have been overly sensitive lately, and there has been too much subjective will in my judgment?

I told Lao Lu about my doubts and thoughts one by one.

Lao Lu said: "Your idea is indeed a bit wild, but I don't think you are guessing, because you have that tattoo as proof." Are you sure that the tattoo and the picture on the coupon are from the same artist? ”

I nodded affirmatively and said, "Sure." ”

Lao Lu said: "Then you will investigate in the direction you think." ”

Lao Lu's words are obvious, no matter what kind of investigation I make, he will support me. Yes, the wrong direction of investigation can easily cause a lot of human and financial losses. But we all know that these losses are inevitable in the process of detection, but at the moment when the case is finally solved, these losses seem to be less important.

The first step in the investigation is to find He Yunjing as soon as possible, and she will definitely be able to use it as a breakthrough in the case.

Before investigating, I asked to see the video recorded by the two sisters.

The content of the video is basically the same as what is depicted on the material.

The clarity of the image is still very high, and it is obvious that it was not recorded by a mobile phone, but by a home camera. I found a detail in the video, that is, He Xiuxin wore makeup, and it was heavy makeup, but He Yunjing did not wear makeup.

Their hair and clothes were wet, as if they had been rained. But I checked the weather recently, and there was no rain, so the water on the bodies of the two was obviously not caused by the rain. And when the whole body is soaked, the makeup on He Xiuxin's face is not spent, is it waterproof makeup? Of course, I think it's more likely that the two of them are posed in the video. But why get your whole body wet? I really don't understand that.

Also, in the video, He Xiuxin did not wear red nail polish, which is in line with my inference at the autopsy. Nail polish was applied by someone else after she died. The person who applied this nail polish could it be He Yunjing? The possibilities are high.

Through the information on the data, we quickly found He Yunjing.

Although He Yunjing is a native of Wanzhou, she left her parents and lived alone after graduation. However, He Yunjing did not rent a house, but bought a house in a community located in Longdu Plaza. And this suite is also the place where He Xiuxin committed suicide.

Now He Yunjing still lives in this room, and she is not affected by her sister's death in the slightest.

When I saw He Yunjing for the first time, I had the feeling that this woman had a high-minded temperament. Her home is very chic and extravagantly decorated, from appliances to furniture, from lights to electrical outlets, all of which reveal her pursuit of the brand.

I wonder why such a woman, who has only worked for two or three years, has such good economic strength?

Before coming to look for He Yunjing, Lao Lu and I had already learned about He Yunjing's family. She lives in a family that has been rebuilt after a divorce and has a younger brother, but the relationship between the two is not good. He Yunjing used to follow his mother's surname Cao, but after He Yunjing grew up, he changed his surname back. He Yunjing's mother is an ordinary employee who works in a supermarket, while her stepfather works outside the home all year round, and the family income is not very high. So it's hard for a family like her to buy a house in such an upscale community. This ruled out the possibility that the house was funded by He Yunjing's mother.

So could it be He Yunjing's biological father who funded it?

Obviously, it is impossible, He Yunjing's biological father passed away five years ago.

Then the origin of He Yunjing's house is suspicious. Because with her current income, it is impossible to buy such a house. Will this situation be related to the case of the female corpse who burned her face?

"Sit down!" He Yunjing said casually, sat on the edge of the sofa, and put the hand in his hand beside him.

Lao Lu and I also sat down one after another, and Lao Lu said straightforwardly: "I believe you know the purpose of our coming to you this time, and we suspect that behind your sister's suicide, there is a major conspiracy involved." ”

To my surprise, after Lao Lu finished saying this, He Yunjing laughed out loud.

Her smile made me think that there must be something wrong with this woman's spirit. Her sister had only recently died, and she could laugh out loud when it came to her questions.

Lao Lu was a little angry, but after all, he was facing a woman, so Lao Lu suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Please respect your sister, and please cooperate with our investigation seriously." ”

He Yunjing glanced at Lao Lu with an impatient look and said, "Isn't it respect to smile?" Amusing. If you have any questions, just ask them quickly, and I'll have a good rest after asking. ”

Lao Lu said in a deep voice, "Why did your sister commit suicide? And why did you destroy her face after she committed suicide? ”

He Yunjing said calmly: "I have already explained before, my sister is not dead, don't you forcibly put the word suicide on her, okay?" Her soul went to the Pure Land of Bliss, and I still envy it. The reason for her disfigurement was explained to me by my sister, who said that in order to show her determination, she had to destroy her body and make her stop thinking of returning to the world. But I can't burn the body, so I discussed with my sister to destroy the most important thing for a woman, the face. In this way, the soul of my sister will naturally be cut off from the desire to return to the world. ”

After He Yunjing said this, the whole room suddenly seemed very silent, and I could even hear the sound of the quaint clock second hand on the wall.

He Yunjing's answer is simply groundless and unreasonable, although I feel that she is pretending to be crazy and stupid, but I have no way to deal with her.

What was going on in her mind about this terrible woman? I really can't see her inner world from her beautiful appearance.

'Smack! Lao Lu angrily slapped the coffee table next to the sofa, and swayed the chic rocking fruit basket on the coffee table from side to side.

Lao Lu said angrily: "He Yunjing, don't say something inconsequential in front of the police, otherwise I will arrest you for obstructing the police in performing their official duties." ”

He Yunjing laughed again, and then said, "I told you everything you want to know, and you think my words are not credible, so what should I do?" ”

Lao Lu was angered by He Yunjing's attitude, and he stood up suddenly.

The moment he stood up, there was a loud 'bang', and it carried a gust of wind towards us.

I frowned, and as I looked, a bedroom door suddenly shut. It felt like someone was slamming it shut from the inside, and it was with a lot of force, like an angry person slamming the door out.

"Look! My sister is angry! He Yunjing slowly stood up, walked to the bedroom, and opened the door that had just closed and said, "Sister, don't be angry, you are now a person who lives by the side of God, you must know how to be restrained, don't worry about mortals." ”

He Yunjing's words made me shake my head, this kind of ridiculous words, I am already sure that she is making it up, this He Yunjing, there must be a problem. Her pretending to be crazy and stupid shows that she has a ghost in her heart.

Cunning woman.

I stood up, patted Lao Lu, and tilted my head, meaning to leave here.

Lao Lu exhaled a heavy breath from his nostrils, looked at the woman standing by the bedroom door, who seemed to be smiling, and said, "You are so self-conscious." ”

The woman snorted.

Leaving He Yunjing's house, Lao Lu said angrily: "This woman can see that she is pretending to be crazy and stupid, saying those gods and ghosts, and trying to get away with it perfunctory? When I didn't see her, I thought that this case was really a bizarre suicide case of a young man, and after seeing this woman, with my more than 20 years of experience in handling cases, I could feel that there was something wrong with this woman. I suspect that her sister was killed by her and that she created the illusion of suicide. ”

The weather outside was very cold, and Lao Lu was excited, and when he spoke, white gas and saliva flew together.

I put my hands in the pockets of my down jacket and said, "Comrade Lao Lu, although you are talking angrily, I agree with your point of view. Because He Yunjing did too much to cover up when we came to understand the situation. And these cover-ups reflect her inner instability. ”

Lao Lu stopped, looked at me and said, "Tell me about your analysis." ”

I said, "Get in the car and say, it's too cold outside." ”

We continued to walk a few steps and got into the police car parked on the side of the road. Of course, this car was driven by Lao Lu himself, and Liu Sanxun should have been sweeping the tomb on the mountain at this time and setting off firecrackers.

"Say it!" Lao Lu hadn't ignited the car's engine yet, so he couldn't wait to ask me.

I sat in the passenger seat, buckled my seatbelt, and said: "He Yunjing was very calm during the inquiry, and she also seemed serious when she spoke. This expression is like when we are reading, the teacher asks us to endorse the book, and our eyes sometimes glance up and sometimes down, which is actually the brain recalling the content of the book. So can I guess that the nonsensical words He Yunjing said just now were actually her memorizing a script, a script specially designed to deal with police inquiries. ”

Lao Lu stabilized the steering wheel with his left hand, scratched his cheek with his right hand, and said: "You are using your unreliable detection method again, but it is your unreliability that can help me solve the case repeatedly." When encountering an unreliable criminal like He Yunjing, you have an unreliable method, I see a play. Go on. ”

I smiled and said, "This is also the experience I have learned from more than 20 years of experience in the detective business. Just like you catch a thief in a vegetable market, the key to identifying a thief is to look at the thief's eyes. The eyes of the people who buy vegetables are all staring at the vegetable stalls, and the eyes of the thieves are almost not aimed at the vegetable stalls, they are looking at other people's bags. ”

Lao Lu said: "Yes, yes, don't go off-topic, I'll take back the sentence 'unreliable', you continue." ”

I know Lao Lu's mood now, he has already said that He Yunjing is a criminal in his words, and it seems that he has already determined that He Yunjing is the culprit of this face-burning female corpse case. Of course, what I can do for him is to fish out the evidence and purpose of this culprit.

So I continued: "I know that you have already determined that He Yunjing is the murderer of your sister, so I will help you sort out how to make this Shinto woman show her fox tail." ”

Lao Lu snorted, stepped on the accelerator, and overtook a car in front of him with the word "internship".

I said: "Covering up the truth and deliberately lying when the police came to investigate, this must be enough to prove that He Yunjing has a ghost in his heart." This woman is also quite funny, and she has also made a flower head that closes the door by ghosts. ”

Lao Lu said: "Eh, by the way, what's going on with that door?" Could it be that there is still a person hiding inside? ”

I said, "No, but the trick is very simple. Do you remember when we were children, some people installed screen doors in their homes, and there was a spring on the door, which automatically popped back and closed when the door was opened? This eliminates the possibility of forgetting to close the screen door and letting mosquitoes fly in. ”

Lao Lu smiled and said, "I have decorated this door, I know it." But how did she leave the door open for so long and suddenly close it herself? ”

I said, "Just one ice cube is enough." Place the ice cubes on the spring clips, and as soon as the ice melts, the door will naturally close. It's just that the springs in this setup are definitely much more powerful than those in the screen doors, otherwise it wouldn't have been so shocking. ”

Lao Lu said: "This woman knows a lot of skills, is it possible that she is a female man?" ”

I said, "If this case is related to Qu Mo, then could this device have been installed by Qu Mo's subordinates?" ”

Lao Lu nodded and said, "Why didn't you break it at the scene just now?" ”

I smiled confidently and said, "Isn't Qu Mo going to play with me?" I'm not going to meet him for a trick, I'm going to see all his plans and kill him with one last blow. ”

Lao Lu turned his head to look at me for two seconds and didn't speak. I said coldly, "I'm going to bump into it!" ”

A slam on the steering wheel to brake, but luckily I was wearing a seat belt.

There is no danger!

Back to the criminal police team, Lao Lu couldn't wait to dial the phone of the head of the technical section: "Lao Li, when will you come back?" ......”

After explaining the case, asking and greetings, Lao Lu hung up the phone, and then said with a sigh of relief: "He will come tomorrow morning." Our Lao Li is a model worker in the team, and he is allowed to arrive if there is a case. ”

I said, "It's always safer for you to back up that video first." ”

Lao Lu smiled and said, "Are you still not at ease in my computer?" ”

But as soon as he finished saying this, his smile disappeared, and he quickly took out the USB flash drive from his bag, opened the computer, and backed up several copies of the video taken by the two sisters. Of course, we haven't forgotten that Qu Mo's criminal group has even invaded the surveillance video of the criminal police team.

The purpose of backing up this video is to ensure that it is intact before the technical department comes to identify it. Because I'm starting to suspect that this video has been processed by technical means before.
