Chapter 11: The Burning Umbrella

The reason why the suspect came up with such a perverted punishment method,

It is to torture them in such a way that is worse than death.

The annual college entrance examination has begun, and the college entrance examination is only two days (two days in most provinces, and three days in a few provinces), and these two days will change the fate of many people.

Lao Yang's grits soup shop is very lively, early in the morning there are parents to replace their children to line up, these two days, Lao Yang's grits soup is provided free of charge to college entrance examination students, which is a tradition of the shop for more than ten years. The streets leading to the school have been placed under martial law, guarded by the traffic police, and motor vehicles are strictly prohibited from entering, in order to create a favorable environment for the college entrance examination.

Bao Chu stood in front of the school gate, looked at the students who were about to take the college entrance examination, and thought: If this case can't be solved, you can only return in vain, what kind of face do you have to go back to see Professor Liang? Once the college entrance examination is over, the long summer vacation begins, and students leave the school and miss the opportunity to solve the case again.

Xiao Ruoli said: "I don't have to really take the college entrance examination, right?" ”

Bao Shu said: "It's over, your undercover career ended in failure. ”

Sun Dayue said: "Our case is difficult to solve, and it seems that there is no end in sight. ”

Xiao Ruoli no longer has to pretend to be a student, and she is happy that she has returned to normal life. At the stall near the school, Xiao Ruoli bought several pairs of insoles, and she gave Bao Qi, Director Hao, and Sun Dayue a pair each.

Director Hao said: "A pair of insoles is not considered a bribe, so I will accept it." ”

Sun Dayue said: "Xiao Ruoli is really a good boy, I'll put it on now." ”

Director Hao said: "You better go outside and change into it, if you take off your shoes, you will stink to death, and the smoke will be billowing out." ”

Bao Qi said: "Xiao Ruoli, why did you buy so many insoles, do you want to do wholesale?" ”

Xiao Ruoli said: "No, there is an old grandmother selling insoles at the school gate, I think she is so pitiful, I said, I bought all these insoles, you go home quickly." What about this last pair, for Da Yue's mother. ”

Sun Dayue said: "My mother is paralyzed in both legs, and you also bought a pair of insoles for her old man, hahaha, she must be happy." Come on, I'll leave work early, invite you and Xiaobao to dinner, today the director sent me the subsidy, let's go, you two go home with me. ”

Director Hao said: "Da Yue treats, the sun really comes out from the north, this is the first time Da Yue has invited guests since he joined the work. Why do you want to go home, just find a restaurant outside. ”

Sun Dayue said: "It's casual at home, how expensive it is to eat in a restaurant!" I'm going to buy a Maji roast chicken, and then buy some Zhulou fried fish, paper mill intestines, and then just make a dish. ”

In the car, Xiao Ruoli said with great interest: "Today, I saw a person at the school gate, do you know how to ride?" The man was a cyclist, wearing a jacket and riding a mountain bike, and he borrowed a hundred yuan from me, and remembered my mobile phone number, saying that he would charge the money to my mobile phone. I said, I hope you do what you say. He said, don't worry, I lost my wallet, and I will pay you back when I call the money at home. ”

Da Yue said: "You girl, you have met a liar, why are you so simple?" You're a police officer, and you've been deceived by the bad guys. ”

Xiao Ruoli said: "I don't think that person is a liar. ”

Da Yue said: "The liar's face is not written, who will say that he is a liar, wait, that person will not return the money to you." Someone has been fooled by this low-level deception, and you are really insulting to the reputation of our police. If the crook returns the money to you, I will eat the car. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ruoli's mobile phone came to a recharge text message, and she said excitedly: "Look, people have charged me with phone bills." Uncle Daikoshi, are you really going to eat this car? Where do you start to speak? Why don't you eat the wheels first? ”

Bao Chu sat in the back of the car, smiled, silently put his mobile phone back in his pocket, and he secretly charged Xiao Ruoli with a hundred yuan phone bill. Xiao Ruoli, this simple and kind girl still doesn't understand the complexity of society, and Bao Chu hopes that she can always maintain an innocent heart.

Bao Chu said: "No matter what, we have to believe that there are still many good people in this world." ”

These little things made Bao Chu feel that Xiao Ruoli was the best candidate for a new member of the special case team, although she lacked work experience, but the kindness and simplicity of this girl deeply moved Bao Chu. Bao Choi also considered Sun Dayue, Dayue has been a police officer for many years and has rich experience, however, Dayue is a filial son and will not leave his mother who needs to be taken care of at all.

Da Yue parked the car in the community, carrying wine and food, and he and Bao Chu and Xiao Ruoli talked and laughed all the way home.

When I opened the door, there was silence in the house, as if there was no one, Da Yue felt strange, and then saw a shocking scene on the balcony: Da Yue's mother hanged herself!

Da Yue's mother was determined, she thought that she had dragged Da Yue down, resulting in Da Yue still not being able to marry a daughter-in-law, so she first took half a bottle of sleeping pills, then tied a scarf to the drying rack on the balcony, shook the lifter, adjusted to the appropriate height, put her head into the rope loop, and pushed the wheelchair back vigorously to complete the whole process of hanging.

Fortunately, it was found in time, Sun Dayue, Bao Chop, and Xiao Ruoli rushed Da Yue's mother to the hospital, and after rescue, Da Yue's mother was out of danger. The doctor said that if it was five minutes late, it might be over.

Da Yue said: "Mom, why are you so stupid, why can't you think about it." ”

Da Yue's mother had just washed her stomach, her body was very weak, and she lay on the hospital bed and said, "Son, Mom can't stand you, Mom wants you to be good when she is desperate." Mom is a burden, since I got this disease, you have been serving me day and night, serving me with and urine, and you can't even marry a daughter-in-law, I hurt you. ”

Da Yue lay on the hospital bed and cried bitterly......

Back at the Public Security Bureau, Bao Chu fell into deep thought. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, parents can do anything for their children. The suspect in the "human centipede" case may also be the parent of a child, and the motive for the crime should be simple revenge. The Kaxiang police investigated some classmates who had conflicts with the four missing girls on weekdays, but found no clues. Bao Chu speculated that the cause of the case was a secret school violence**, and this view has never wavered. The bald man in the raincoat used a fishing line to put the four girls up and lead them to crawl down the street, a humiliation that was deliberately shown to the police through surveillance video.

Bao Chu thought: "Did the suspect kill them?" ”

They should not have been killed.

They are still alive.

The reason why the suspects came up with such a perverted punishment method was to torture them in this way that made life worse than death.

The police, together with the neighborhood office, the community property, and the village committee, carried out a door-to-door investigation in the surrounding area of Mengshan, and searched for the suspect's possible hiding place. Director Hao stressed that special attention should be paid to the clue that the suspect is a bald male, focusing on finding the families of students who are studying in No. 1 Middle School.

This method is clumsy and has the potential to surprise the suspect and cause the suspect to flee

, and in the end, a lot of police resources were spent and nothing was found.

No one expected that the next day, that is, the day of the end of the college entrance examination, a villager in Hushan Village at the foot of Meng Mountain reflected a very valuable clue. About a month ago, someone rented his family's abandoned chicken farm, claimed to grow mushrooms, and hired workers to close the windows of the chicken coop with bricks and strengthen the doors. The villagers thought that the cultivation of mushrooms needed to be protected from the light to facilitate the growth of mushrooms, so they did not care. This morning, the villagers found that someone had burned things behind the fence of the chicken farm, and from the ashes you could see a fishing rod, as well as toothbrushes, towels and other daily necessities, among which there was actually a copy of "Five-Year College Entrance Examination Three-year Simulation", which aroused the vigilance of the villagers.

The police asked, "Who is renting your chicken farm?" ”

The villager replied, "It's a woman in her forties, and this woman is bald and wears a sun hat." ”

Prior to this, the police had always believed that the suspect was a bald man, ignoring the possibility that it could also be a woman.

The police immediately rushed to the chicken farm, and the house was empty and there was no one in it.

Just as the police were looking for the bald woman, she reappeared in the surveillance video at the intersection of No. 1 Middle School.

I don't know why, it always rains during the college entrance examination. During the two days of the college entrance examination, the sky was gloomy, and the last test was a foreign language, which ended at five o'clock in the afternoon. After the exam, it became dark and it rained lightly. Many students and parents left the examination room one after another, and everyone stopped one after another, and then saw a very strange scene: "There was a bald woman, holding a burning umbrella, standing at the intersection. ”

The woman had several horrific scars on her bald head, and she stood motionless with a burning umbrella in her hand.

Onlookers were talking, wondering why this woman was standing here with a burning umbrella.

In the monitoring room of the public security department, the police on duty immediately reported, Director Hao and Bao Chu looked at the monitoring screen, and the umbrella in the bald woman's hand quickly burned out, leaving only the umbrella stand.

Bao Chu said: "She lit the umbrella to attract the attention of our police, and she knew that there were police officers watching the surveillance." ”

Director Hao said, "What does she want to do?" ”

The bald woman threw away the umbrella stand and placed a plastic bag on the ground containing green onions, chicken breast, dried chili peppers and peanuts. Then, she made a strange gesture to the surveillance video above the intersection, her hands clenched into fists, pressed together, and stretched forward.

Director Hao said: "This is a naked provocation to our police, did she say: Come and arrest me." That's what it means, right? ”

Director Hao immediately ordered that the nearest police station should be dispatched urgently, and at the same time, the traffic police and patrol police should be deployed on the periphery, and the woman must be arrested. In the past, Bao Chu always rushed to the scene at the first time, but this time he was indifferent, he sat quietly, watching the bald woman in the surveillance screen leave with something, he seemed to think that the police would pounce again, this woman has a strong anti-investigation ability. What exactly does that weird gesture mean? Bao Shu's brain was running at high speed like a computer, and he stood up, slammed the table, and said loudly, "I know where those four girls are." ”

Director Hao said suspiciously, "Where is it?" ”

Bao said: "At home, they went home. ”

Director Hao said, "How do you know? ”

Bao said: "Obviously, this woman is the suspect we are looking for, and the gesture she made means to surrender herself." ”
