"Human life?!"

Hearing this, Shen Yu and Gu Congzhou were both taken aback, and the two couldn't help but ask at the same time: "Who died?" ”

"In the middle of last night, a man surnamed Jia was killed. His colleague said that your friend went to him yesterday for trouble. The policeman pointed at Shen Yu and explained to Gu Congzhou.

"The surname is Jia?" Shen Yu's expression tightened when he heard this, "Jia Chengxin?!" ”

"Seems to be such a name." The policeman said.

"Jia Chengxin is dead?" Shen Yu was still immersed in the shock of learning the news, but Gu Congzhou reacted faster, and he hurriedly said: "Two police officers, if that person died last night, my friend would definitely not be a murderer, I was a guest at my friend's place last night, I can testify to him, he was at home last night and never went out." ”

"We also do things according to Shangfeng's orders, and Shangfeng asks us to bring people back, so we have to bring people back. If your friend really isn't the murderer, go ask and come back. Don't embarrass us, do you? ”

Gu Congzhou knew in his heart that Shen Yu was definitely going to go to the patrol room with them. So he comforted Shen Yu and said, "It's okay, I'll go with you." I'll testify to you, and you'll be fine. ”

Shen Yu nodded-with Gu Congzhou's witness, he had some bottom in his heart, and he now wanted to know how Jia Chengxin died, so he nodded to the two policemen and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

The two followed the police to the patrol room, and as soon as the policeman in charge of handling the case appeared, Shen Yu was stunned, because this policeman he knew, it was Sheriff Yao who went to the newspaper office two days ago to investigate the theft of film.

Sergeant Yao obviously didn't remember Shen Yu very well, he looked at Shen Yu and said, "You are the reporter who went to Xinshi Daily yesterday to find trouble?" ”

"Sheriff," Gu Congzhou began, "my friend can't be the murderer of that reporter Jia, I stayed at my friend's house all night last night, and I can prove that he never left his house." ”

"Who are you?" Sheriff Yao looked at Gu Congzhou.

"The surname is Gu, and he is a doctor at Kanto Hospital. Dean Pei Jiayu, who passed away not long ago, was my teacher. ”

Hearing that Gu Congzhou said that he was a doctor at the Kanto Hospital, Sheriff Yao looked at him with a slightly serious look. He looked at Gu Cong and said, "Why were you at his house last night?" ”

"I went to a friend's house as a guest, and when it was late, I stayed overnight."

"How do you know he didn't sneak out while you're asleep?"

Gu Congzhou didn't answer directly, but asked, "What time was that reporter Jia killed?" ”

"......" Hearing Gu Congzhou's question, Sheriff Yao's expression froze, and then he coughed slightly, and replied a little unnaturally: "The forensic doctor in charge of the autopsy has something ...... at home."

"You guys arrested me before you even figured out what time someone died?!" Shen Yu was immediately anxious when he heard this.

Gu Congzhou noticed the embarrassed expression on Sheriff Yao's face, so he said, "In that case, why don't you let me see the corpse first?" Although I am not a professional forensic doctor, I know a little about autopsy and may be able to help. ”

Sergeant Yao looked at Gu Cong, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Gu Congzhou went to the morgue accompanied by Sheriff Yao, although the deceased died not long ago, and the body did not smell of decay, Sergeant Yao still sent Gu Congzhou into the door and turned around to leave. But this is good, but it also saves the embarrassment of someone watching, so Gu Congzhou took off the white coat, gloves, and mask from the table on the side, dressed neatly, and then walked to the autopsy table and lifted the white cloth on the deceased's body.

！

The white cloth was lifted, and Gu Congzhou was slightly taken aback. Before, he had only heard that the deceased had been killed, so Gu Congzhou had always thought that the deceased had died with a sharp weapon. However, when he saw the body of the deceased, Gu Congzhou realized that this was not the case at all. I saw that the deceased's face in front of him was covered with blood, his entire forehead bone was almost smashed, and there were a large number of bruises and bleeding marks on his eyes, nostrils, and corners of his mouth. Looking down further, Gu Congzhou noticed that the posture of the deceased's right hand was very strange, and it was obvious that his thumb, index finger and middle finger phalanx had been fractured.

Gu Congzhou's brows furrowed deeply.

Coming out of the morgue, Gu Congzhou went to Sheriff Yao's office under the guidance of other policemen. knocked on the door and entered, there was a slightly younger police officer in the house, Gu Congzhou wanted to quit, but Sheriff Yao stopped him.

"Doctor Gu, how is it, what did the autopsy find?"

"The deceased probably died between 11 and 12 p.m. However, he was tortured for a long time before he died. Sheriff Yao, I would like to know if the deceased's home has been turned upside down? ”

Hearing this, Sergeant Yao and the young police officer subconsciously looked at each other, and then Sergeant Yao asked, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"Because I found that the deceased had three broken finger bones in his right hand, and they did not look like they were injured in a fight, but rather as if they had been broken by life. As the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart, and a broken finger can be very painful, but it is not life-threatening, much like a forced confession. Gu Congzhou explained.

Although Sheriff Yao didn't answer just now, the knee-jerk reaction of him and the police officer had already told Gu Congzhou that he hadn't guessed wrong. Sure enough, the young police officer said to Gu Congzhou: "His home has indeed been inspected, but we don't know what is inspected." We asked his colleagues, and they said that none of the important belongings in Jia Chengxin's home seemed to be missing. ”

Gu Congzhou nodded and continued: "I only conducted a preliminary examination of the deceased, but some more specific autopsy results may need to be further examined by the coroner to be determined. I have extracted some tissue from the deceased and I can ...... if needed"

"No need." Sergeant Yao waved his hand, "The next work will be done by our forensic officers themselves." Thank you for your help. We've made sure that friend of yours isn't a murderer, and you and he can go. ”

Gu Congzhou knew that this was an eviction order. However, being able to help Shen Yu clear his suspicions can be regarded as achieving his goal, so he nodded: "Okay." But Sergeant Yao, I want to ask you for one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Please tell the medical examiner that the wound of the deceased will be tested for physiological reaction. The deceased had many wounds on his body, so it probably took a lot of time for the murderer to extract a confession, and if the medical examiner can figure out the time and sequence of these wounds, it may be helpful for you to catch the real culprit. ”

"Okay, I see." Sheriff Yao seemed a little impatient, "You guys go out." Jing Xuan, you take them out. ”

"Yes."

The young policeman took Gu Congzhou back to the room where Shen Yu was, Shen Yu saw the two of them coming back, and immediately got up to greet him, and when he saw the appearance of the policeman, he was slightly surprised: "Hey, it's you?" ”

The policeman smiled and nodded: "Reporter Shen, right?" ”

"You remember me!" Shen Yu was pleasantly surprised.

Gu Congzhou looked at the policeman, and then at Shen Yu: "You two know each other?" ”

"Well, the day before yesterday, the film of our newspaper office was stolen, and it was this policeman and the Sheriff Yao just now." Shen Yu still remembered that the policeman had spoken for him at that time, so he had a good impression of him, "It's you again in this case?" ”

"Hmm."

"Then it looks like I'm not going to be beaten into a trick." Shen Yu laughed, "By the way, I don't know what your name is!" ”

"My surname is He, He Jingxuan."

"Oh, Brother He. By the way, did you catch the man who stole the film? ”

"Not yet." Speaking of this, He Jingxuan's expression became slightly straighter, "Actually, your newspaper is not the only one whose film has been stolen, in the past two days, we have received reports from several newspapers and magazines, and all of them have been stolen without exception. ”

"Huh?! Who is so addicted to stealing film? Shen Yu was surprised, "You said that this film is not worth a few dollars!" ”

"I can't say that for now." He Jingxuan didn't say much, and said to the two, "Two, I still have something to do, so I won't send it." ”

"Okay."

"I'm glad to have you this time, otherwise I guess I would have been treated as a murderer by these people and beaten into a trick." Out of the gate of the patrol room, Shen Yu thanked Gu Congzhou, and then asked, "By the way, how did the surnamed Jia die?" ”

Gu Congzhou told Shen Yu about Jia Chengxin's death and his discovery: "Sheriff Yao also admitted that Jia Chengxin's home was searched, so the murderer was probably looking for something, so he killed him." ”

"Jia Chengxin, a reporter, what can be so important......" Shen Yu said as he walked, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and stopped in an instant.

"What's wrong?" Gu Congzhou turned around.

"Eh, you said, Jia Chengxin was killed, is it because of that photo?!" Shen Yu looked at Gu Congzhou.

"Photos?" Gu Congzhou was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "You said that haunted photo?" ”

"yes, that's the picture! Do you know, when I went to find Jia Chengxin yesterday, he personally told me that there are many people who want to buy his photos, maybe someone wants to buy his photos and Jia Chengxin doesn't agree, so that person killed! And the reason why he wanted to torture Jia Chengxin was to force him to tell him where that photo was!! The more Shen Yu spoke, the more excited he became, and he pulled Gu Congzhou and ran back, "Go!" Let's quickly tell this clue to the patrol room! ”

"Huh!" Before Gu Congzhou could say anything, he was dragged back to the patrol room by Shen Yu. Shen Yu rushed into Sheriff Yao's office and excitedly told Sheriff Yao about his "major discovery", but Sergeant Yao didn't say anything more after hearing it, just said that he knew, and then asked his subordinates to send the two out of the office.

"That's true, that person surnamed Yao didn't listen to us!" Out of the patrol room, Shen Yu looked indignant.

"We've done everything we can, and the rest isn't for us to worry about." Gu Congzhou said, he looked at his watch, then looked at Shen Yu and said, "Speaking of which, do you still have to go to work today?" ”

"Oh no!" Shen Yu shouted, "I didn't ask the editor-in-chief for leave just now, he must have thought I was absent from work again!" Needless to say, I'll go to work first! ”

After Shen Yu finished speaking, he ran to the newspaper office, and Gu Congzhou couldn't help but laugh when he saw this person's hot look. Soon, however, the smile on his lips faded away, replaced by a solemn skeptical ......

The news of Jia Chengxin's murder quickly spread throughout the newspapers - the newspaper office was originally a place for news distribution, and Jia Chengxin's report yesterday caused such a big wave in Kanto City, and no one would not pay attention to it when he had an accident at this moment. Soon, news of various avenues and trails spread to the Kanto Daily Office.

"Speaking of which, this Jia Chengxin is quite good, I heard that their newspaper specially arranged a little reporter for him, who is responsible for going to his house every day to wake him up and buy him breakfast. It was the same young reporter who went to call him this morning and found him dead. A reporter said, "This posture is more bullish than our president." ”

"This is the case with a small newspaper like the New World Daily, there is a reporter who is a little famous, and the president is like a treasure." Another young reporter accosted, "I heard that Jia Chengxin doesn't even work every day on weekdays, and he often submits his manuscript, and he disappears." ”

"I heard something about it," Hu Xueqin also interjected, "The police patrolling the room went to the Xinshi Bao newspaper office in the morning, and they rummaged through boxes and cabinets there, looking for things, it was said that they were looking for the 'haunted photo' taken by Jia Chengxin, but they couldn't find it after looking around." Speaking of this, reporter Xiaohu lowered his voice, "It is said that the police also searched for Jia Chengxin's house, but they didn't find it." ”

"You mean, the surname Jia was killed because of that picture?" Someone next to him asked.

"I think nine times out of ten." Reporter Xiaohu said firmly, "Didn't Shen Yu say it yesterday, the reporter Niu coaxed and said that there were many people who wanted to buy his photos, and there must be someone who couldn't afford to pay for the photos and wanted them, so he was tortured." I heard that he died a miserable death! By the way, Shen Yu, have you seen his corpse? Shen Yu ......" Hu Xueqin said and looked around, trying to find Shen Yu to ask, but it was only then that he found out that Shen Yu was not in the house. Reporter Xiaohu touched his head in confusion: "Strange, what about people?" ”……

Darkroom.

"Master Yu, is this okay?"

"Hmm. Then I'll wait until I wash it out and see the effect. Old Master Yu said, taking Shen Yu's camera.

After returning to the newspaper office, Shen Yu quickly went into the darkroom and begged Master Yu to teach him the technique of taking secondary exposure photos. Old Master Yu didn't expect him to be so concerned about this matter, and he was also a little interested, so the two of them made a fuss.

"It's not that hard, it's just a matter of taking two pictures on a piece of film, as long as you control the exposure and the position of the scene, you can get whatever you want together."

After Master Yu briefly explained, he led Shen Yu to practice. The two first went outside the door to take a photo of the blue sky, and then took a side photo of Master Yu, if Shen Yu's technique is right, then the washed photo should have a human face floating in the sky.

"Actually, I told you that it's not difficult to take such a photo, the question is where Jia Chengxin took Du Yunsheng's face." Old Master Yu said to Shen Yu while cutting the negatives from the camera, "You know, Du Yunsheng has been dead for two years. ”

This is indeed a question, Shen Yu thought for a while and asked, "Master Yu, is it okay if you take a picture of it?" ”

"It's not impossible, but if you remake a photo, the effect will be much worse. I don't think the editor-in-chief of their club won't fail to see it. ”

"Then ......" Shen Yu turned his mind again, "Do you say that there is such a possibility, that is, Jia Chengxin took a photo of Du Yunsheng two years ago, but he didn't wash it out at that time." And this time he wanted to make such a news, so he took out the film of that year again? ”

“？” Old Master Yu was surprised by Shen Yu's whimsical idea, he looked back at Shen Yu, but unfortunately he couldn't see Shen Yu's appearance clearly in the darkroom.

Shen Yu couldn't see Master Yu's expression clearly, he could only hear Master Yu stumbling back to work after a while, and his voice also came from the darkness, "I haven't heard of anyone who has stored the film for two years." But ......"

"But how? Isn't it okay? ”

"I really can't say this." Old Master Yu told the truth, "I have seen negatives that have been stored for more than a year before being developed, although the effect is worse than the original, but it is not completely unclear." It's really hard to say whether it can be done for such a long time. But he originally said that it was going to be haunted, and it was reasonable to be vague......" As he spoke, Master Yu turned on the light, "Okay, now wait for it to dry, and I'll call you when it's washed in a while." ”

Shen Yu nodded, he also knew that his thoughts were too surprising, but he could really only come up with such a reasonable explanation. It's a pity that Jia Chengxin is dead, how he photographed Du Yunsheng will probably become a secret forever.

Shen Yu came out of the dark room and found a group of people chatting around in one place, and reporter Xiaohu turned his back to him, obviously talking about him: "I think Shen Yu is dying, and if he is discovered by the editor-in-chief, I think he is really going to die......"

"You're dead!" Shen Yu slapped Hu Xueqin from behind, scaring him so much that he almost fell to the ground: "I said what did you just do?" ”

"I'm going to the darkroom." Shen Yu didn't say much, "What are you talking about?" ”

"We? I'm talking about Jia Chengxin! Just so you're here, tell us what you saw in the patrol room in the morning? ”

Shen Yu opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, when suddenly someone ran back from outside, and when he entered the house, he shouted: "Big news! Big news! The person who killed Jia Chengxin was caught!! ”
