Volume 1 The Hidden Scene 12 The Invisible Behind the Scenes (1)
"Whew, it's finally over!" In the office of the criminal investigation team, a heartfelt sigh suddenly came from the crowd in front of the digital TV.
It is indeed over, from the perspective of ordinary people. When Lin Shaocong made everything public and resolutely jumped off the rooftop, all doubts and speculations disappeared.
"No, not yet!" On the rooftop of the boys' dormitory, Xu Qiangdong shook his head and dialed out the phone with a serious expression.
"It's me, Director!" He said, "Yes, Lin Shaocong, the murderer of the serial murder case of Jiahang Experimental Middle School, has been punished, and it seems that you have received the news." But I would like to say that there are still a few doubts at the moment. First, the identification team of the three death declarations of 'Han Dong harmed me' has confirmed that they are in his handwriting, but Lin Shaocong said before he died that he wrote them. Second, the death declaration in Chen Pingfan's jumping case is spread throughout the stairwell more than three meters high, but there are no auxiliary tools there. Third, Lin Shaocong said that he strangled Lin Minhui and simply cleaned up the scene and left, it was close to one o'clock in the morning, but the time of death inferred from the liver temperature was around 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the time could not be matched. Finally, Liu Xinjian was poured ice water after his death, but through the surveillance, we did not find that Lin Shaocong and Ding Kangyan carried ice cubes or anything like that, and there was no refrigeration in Liu Xinjian's office..."
"Alright, Lao Xu, alright!" The silence on the phone suddenly turned impatient, and the man known as the director roughly interrupted him, "We don't care about any of this, OK?" Lin Shaocong has already admitted that the murder case was planned by him, and the family of the deceased can accept it, the media and public opinion can accept it, and the superiors can accept it, so why do you want to make trouble? I know you have a sharp mind and strong professional ability, but the most important thing to do now is not to collect all the evidence that can prove what Lin Shaocong said as soon as possible, and then put an end to this case? β
Xu Qiangdong couldn't help but hesitate with a series of cannonball-like questioning words, and he exhaled lightly to eliminate the discomfort that came up in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, I know what I'm good at, and I'll start doing it immediately." β
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, it's not over yet. Han Dongxin said.
Because the blade has not yet fallen, the two imps are still secretly eager to try.
But didn't the three people die at their hands before, why did Lin Shaocong take the initiative to jump out and take the blame?
He was still thinking about the connection, and there was a sound of talking in his ears.
"Damn the Faceless One, you're doing us a good thing!"
"Bad for us!"
"But it doesn't matter, we still fulfilled our promise with my brother, the Sword of Judgment punishes those close to us!"
"Punish those close to you!"
"Poof!" Han Dong stood up suddenly, Sister An is obviously safe and sound, why do these two guys still say such sensational words?!
"Hey, do you meanβ" His heart moved, and suddenly he thought of a possibility.
At this moment, the mobile phone in An Qing's hand rang. Before she could get through, she was snatched away by Han Dong.
A familiar number from Wang Li, the director of the welfare home.
"I'm Han Dong," he calmed down a little, put his phone to his ear and said, "Dean, what's the matter with you... Oh, it's Grandpa Weiguo, how can the dean's phone be in you... What the?! β
He let out a cry of disbelief and horror on his face.
"No, I don't believe it!" He shouted, his phone still clutched tightly in his hand, but the man sat down in his chair as if he had been drained of strength.
"What's wrong, Xiaodong?" An Qing asked softly.
Such a huge reaction was really unexpected, and coupled with the abnormal behavior just now, she couldn't help but have an ominous meaning in her heart.
"I want to go back, I want to go back..."Han Dong muttered softly, as if he had never heard her question.
The office suddenly fell into a suffocating silence, and the others looked at it with a strange look in their eyes.
After a few seconds, the silence is interrupted by an inopportune ringing phone.
The nearest policeman picked it up, and his face immediately became solemn: "Yes, yes, immediately!" β
"Xiaoxin, Zhengfei, has just received a notice that Wang Li, the director of the Lingang Welfare Institute, has died. In view of the fact that Team Xu can't return from Jiahang Experimental Middle School, the two of you will go with Gu Forensic Doctor immediately! β
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lingang Welfare Institute apartment building, second floor.
The entire floor is dedicated to offices, and the room where the body was found is at the end of the hallway. It was the office of Wang Li, the director of the welfare home, and there was a public restroom directly across from it.
"There were no obvious bruises on the body, there was no special smell in the mouth, but the pupils were dilated, the face was bruised, and the larynx was also edema, and the cause of death was preliminarily judged to be suffocation, and it was caused from the inside." Forensic Doctor Gu stood up, his face a little pale.
"Internally?" The two Xiaoxin, who were still at the scene of the investigation, turned their heads, with puzzled expressions.
"To put it simply, it's eating something that gets stuck in your trachea and chokes to death."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"No, it can't be!" In the small conference room separated by a few rooms, Han Dong couldn't help shaking his head, unable to accept the statement brought by the police.
He continued, his expression becoming more and more excited: "Not to mention that the dean got up in the middle of the night to go to the office to eat, isn't it very suspicious that the person who first found her and called the police?" β
"Xiao Dong, I am the one who called the police." The old man beside him suddenly spoke.
He couldn't help but shake his head, with deep grief on his face: "If I had listened to the knocker earlier, if I had gotten up earlier, maybe... Maybe the dean won't..."
"Grandpa Weiguo, what did you say, knocker? Did someone alert you outside the door that something had happened to the dean? β
"Yes, I remember it very well." The old man nodded, "About two hours ago, I was sleeping in the house with your grandfather Weimin, and suddenly someone knocked on the door, and there was the shouting of children. You also know that the old man was a light sleeper, and when we woke up, we heard the two children say, 'Something's wrong, there's an accident, there's an accident in the office!' βγ They kept screaming until I got out of bed and walked to the door.
I opened the door, and strangely there was no one in the hallway, and after waking up the old guys in the next room, they all said they didn't hear anything. But how could it be that the knocking and shouting of those two children at the door was so loud! I went back to the house to tell Grandpa Weimin, and in the end I could only think that we both had auditory hallucinations at the same time.
I went back to bed, and about half an hour later the two children knocked on the door again and shouted, but this time the message was different, they said, 'Dead, dead, go to the office and collect the body!' βγ I couldn't ignore such sensational words, so I asked your grandfather Weimin to wait in the house, and I called the old man Zhang next door to go downstairs to check. Grandpa Weimin, you also know, he fell two years ago and walked poorly.
Your grandfather and I went down to the second floor, and immediately saw the lights on in the dean's office. β
"Wait, there's a light in the dean's room?" Han Dong interrupted, "What is she doing in the office without sleeping in the middle of the night?" I suspect someone coerced her to go there! β
Yes, it must have been coercion, and there was no doubt that those two guys were doing it! He said to himself.
The two guys were there to kill the dean in a strange way, and then disguised as suffocating to death, they definitely had a way to do it!
"No, it's not coercion, brother, that aunt went to the office by herself!" There was a sound of talking, and the children appeared again at a critical moment.
"And there's no way we can make a difference in the real world until you give your flesh and power."
"Yes, there is no way!"
Oh, what's the point of saying that? Han Dong snorted coldly in his heart.
If you can't do it, how can you explain the three homicides in Jiahang Middle School?
"Although those three cases are our masterpieces, the actual executor is indeed Lin Shaocong."
"It's him!"
What does it mean, why does every sentence go to your heart?
Han Dong was shocked, could it be that these two guys could still spy on other people's thoughts?!
"It's not my brother, I can read people's minds, that's the ability of parasitic resentful spirits, and it has to be at least the Seba Yufis level!"
"Sebayufus!"
"But you are an exception, as long as you reach the level of a high wraith. In addition, although we cannot make changes to the real world, we can feel many emotions in the human heart, such as arrogance, jealousy, and anger, and guide these emotions to explode through psychological cues. β
"To put it simply," the voice that followed the voice just now was now unexpectedly explained, "Chen Pingfan really wanted to kill those three people and blame you, and we detonated those mixed mixed emotions to make him take action. As for the old woman lying on the floor in the room at the end of the hallway..."
Han Dong's breath stagnated, and the old woman in his mouth was naturally the dean.
"We just ate and reminded her of the hard things, the painful pasts that had been painstakingly forgotten and cut off but were finally engraved in the deepest part of her heart like a brand, those burdens like boulders. So she choked up and finally the food got stuck in her trachea, and it was as simple as that. β
"It's that simple!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"No, no one is persecuting the dean, Xiao Dong." After Han Dong said the coercive words, the old man fell into a short silence, and now he continued, "The reason why the dean got up early to go to the office is because the courtyard is now in a crisis, an economic crisis. β
"Economic crisis? But the dean said yesterday morning that there was plenty of money, so I shouldn't worry about going all out to see a doctor or something..."
"Alas, she's such a person..."The old man sighed, "Xiaodong, you have also been in this welfare home for fourteen or fifteen years, and the dean should know who he is, right?" β
Yes, inside and out, it's clear inside and out. Han Dongxin said.
If you look at the physiognomy alone, the dean should be in his fifties, with dull and loose skin, and the forehead is covered with fine crow's feet.
But in fact, when she was just in her early years, she had listened to the chatter of uncles and aunts who were volunteers in the hospital, saying that Dean Wang's life was hard, and when he was a child, a traffic accident caused the death of both parents, and he finally survived until his early twenties to get married and have children, and the child only lived for half a year due to congenital myocardial infarction, and divorced the next year because of her husband's marital cheating. One blow after another caused her to suffer from severe insomnia and depression when she was less than 25 years old. But it is unbelievable that just one year later, she came out of the pain and shadow, and made the most important decision to date - to sell her property, turn the lathe factory into a welfare home, and take in the poor people who are also unhappy in life.
Of course, she can't accomplish this ambition on her own, she has visited the district government and other government agencies many times, and has gone to large and small enterprises to solicit sponsorship, for which I don't know how many closed-door soups I have eaten and how many blank eyes I have encountered. People who know the roots are upset for her, and at the same time, they don't know why they chose this thorny road, and the ordinary people who don't know what to do point at and spread rumors. Later, the welfare home gradually grew in size, and local TV reporters visited. The first time she faced the media, she seemed nervous and cramped, but when the reporter asked about the motivation for setting up the welfare home in the first place, her eyes were full of divine light.
"Because I had a similar experience, I was more aware of the deep despair," she said. And I don't want you to live in pain all the time. β
She is such a person, stoic but silent, always thinking about others, but rarely doing anything for herself.
If she were to write a book about her life after leaving the lathe factory, the book would probably be very thick, but the content should also be thin, from the first page to the end, there are two big words written all over the book - "dedication".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, why is that, why!" In the dormitory, Han Dong suddenly jumped up from the bed and slammed his fist on the white wall. An angry roar wandered around the room, sounding like a wounded beast.
It had been an hour since the men at the police station left, and at the same time they took the body of the superintendent, saying that they were going to the station for a more in-depth examination.
Outside the window, there was the chirping of sparrows, which sounded very cheerful. The morning light filtered through the cracks in the curtains, trying to bring a little warmth into the room.
But Han Dong couldn't help but tremble lightly, and his body felt a coldness.
He could clearly see that two small faces appeared in the place where the huge poster beside him had been printed with human heads, and the same deep voices came from their mouths.
"Because they are sacrificial brothers, build the Altar of the Seven Stars with the blood of the sacrificial sacrifice and unleash the infinite and pure power that lurks within you! As long as we gain that power, even if it is the 'Day of Revelation' when all walks of life fight and return to chaos, we will be able to protect ourselves. β
"So, who are the two remaining to kill?"
"Who is it?"
"Reminder, it's still someone close to you!"
"It's someone close to you!"
It's Sister An!
Han Dong's mind moved, and he immediately thought of an answer. But apart from her, there is nothing close to me!
Hiss, do you say...
Another shadow flashed through his mind.
"Bingo, that's exactly right, oh brother! So in order to reward you, we will choose to get rid of her first! β
"Kill her first!"
There was a slight tremor in the space, and the small faces on the huge poster gradually faded.
"No, don't!" Han Dong yelled and threw himself at the poster like crazy, and blood gradually appeared in his eyes that were wide open in horror.
But doomed to be useless, the two little faces disappeared, and an insolent and terrifying laugh rang out from the room.
"Give up struggling, brother, there is no way back from fate."
"There is no way back!"
"When you embark on a journey, the end is already indicated... What the?! β
"What?!"
At the end of the laughter, the tone changed, the children let out even more shocking and horrified screams, and the small faces that had disappeared from the poster reappeared.
At the same time, the closed door slowly opened inward, and the figure bathed in white light flashed into the room, clapping and whispering, "Finally catch up, finally catch up!" β
"It's you?!" Han Dong said loudly, as if he had thought of something.
