◎Chapter 36 The Girl in the Red Dress

Bai Jingyu: "Xiaomei, how is your injury?" ”

Su Mei: "It's already good, I don't want to wear a skirt with suspenders and off-the-shoulders in the future." ”

Bai Jingyu: "As a policeman, you should pay attention to your appearance, by the way, the special case team is going to a water town in the south of the Yangtze River this time, Wuyang Town." Xiaomei, in that town, remember, you don't wear a red dress. ”

Professor Liang: "What big case happened in Wuyang Town?" ”

Bao Chu said: "What's wrong with the red dress? ”

Bai Jingyu: "Within a month, three girls in the town disappeared, all wearing red dresses. ”

Hualong looked at the case file and said, "Fuck, the last person to report the disappearance turned out to be ......"

Bai Jingyu: "That's right, it's a little unbelievable to say, it's not a person who reported the crime, it's a big mouse." ”

This small town in the south of the Yangtze River is rich in silk, usually quiet and serene, weeping willows, every bluestone alley has a woman wearing a cheongsam and an oil-paper umbrella, and the houses and buildings on the roadside are all full of classical atmosphere. Life in the town is very laid-back, there are no cars, even bicycles are rare, and the local residents rely on boats to get around.

On the morning of July 16, 2008, several members of the public security joint defense team listened to the play in the teahouse, and the woman who sang the opera wore a red costume and long skirt, and her singing voice was pure and soft, euphemistic and beautiful, and full of strong Jiangnan water town style. The woman on the stage was singing but suddenly stopped, looked at the door in horror, and several members of the joint defense team turned their heads to see that a mouse had swaggered into the teahouse.

It was a very large rat with a belly as large as a pot, a long tail dragging and more than twice the size of an ordinary mouse.

It's weird that the big rat is red and wet, like it just came out of a paint bucket.

A bold joint defense team member took a grass hat and quietly approached, the big mouse seemed to have eaten too much, his stomach was round, and he was unable to escape, and was caught by the joint defense team with a straw hat, everyone gathered around to see, and an experienced joint defense team member pointed to the mouse and said:

It's blood, it's all blood!

The joint defense team found an unrecognizable red skirt by the river outside the door of the teahouse, and picked up the bloody skirt with a bamboo pole, and it could be seen that there were several rotten holes on it, and there were many traces of gnawing. The joint defense team searched along the river, where there were some fishing nets, and in the nets, two more red dresses were found.

Three skirts, all with blood stains, and two red dresses with the same style.

After investigation, the mayor and the police station confirmed that three girls were missing in the town, all wearing red dresses at the time of their disappearance.

Su Mei: "Have you done a blood stain identification, is the blood on the rat's body consistent with the blood type on the red dress?" ”

Bao Chop: "What is the mouse eating in the abdomen, and what about the dissection results?" ”

The mayor said: "I sent it to the city for identification, this is a small town, there is no forensic doctor, and the results will come out tomorrow at the earliest." ”

Professor Liang said: "In this case, it is possible that the big rat ate the little girl, let's talk about the three missing girls." ”

The mayor told the special case team that on July 1, a girl named Huanyu left a cross-stitch shop in the town at around 8 p.m. and that she has not been seen since. On July 15, two girls who were studying painting left the gallery, one named Mo Fei and the other Zhao Xianxian, also at around 8 p.m., and after leaving, they mysteriously disappeared. On the morning of the 16th, the joint defense team found a large rat with blood stains on its body, as well as in the river

Salvaged skirts. The three girls are missing, no one alive, no body is dead, and according to the visit and investigation, one thing in common was discovered: all three girls were wearing red dresses!

Bao Chu looked at the map of Wuyang Town and said, "The three girls are all missing on the same street!" ”

"At the end of the month, it is estimated that there will be more girls in red dresses who will be missing and killed," Professor Liang said. ”

The mayor said, "How do you know?" ”

Professor Liang said: "Huanyu disappeared on the 1st, Mo Fei and Zhao Xianxian disappeared on the 15th, with an interval of half a month, and the disappearance was at 8 o'clock in the evening, the murderer has a certain pattern, and it is likely that in another fifteen days, that is, at the end of the month, he will commit the crime against the girl in the red dress again!" ”

There was a shortage of police in the town, there was only one police station chief, a few police officers, and some joint defense team members, and Professor Liang called them together and made a specific division of work.

Su Mei and the mayor of the town are responsible for visiting the family of the missing girl, focusing on the suspicious person, especially if there is any abnormal situation in the days before the disappearance.

Bao Chu and the head of the security station rearranged the cross-stitch shop and the gallery studio, and the street where the three girls disappeared to draw a detailed and specific distribution map of the surrounding rivers and alleys.

Drawing the dragon and the joint defense team are responsible for catching rats, carefully searching for dead spots such as garbage bins and sewers near the teahouse to see if there are any big rats with blood.

The mayor said: "We have done this work once and have found no clues to solve the case. ”

Professor Liang said: "Then do it again until you find clues to solve the case." ”

Su Mei and the mayor re-interrogate Huanyu's parents. Huanyu is only sixteen years old, in the first year of junior high school, after her parents divorced, she remarried to Wuyang Town with her mother, her stepfather treated her very badly, often beat and scolded, and her classmates and neighbors commented on her as an introverted, sensitive, and inferior little girl. On her birthday, her mother gave her a red dress, and she was very happy, but her stepfather quarreled with her mother because of this, and Huanyu ran away from home sadly. Because of the lack of money, she also helped her mother embroidery, and on the night of her birthday, she cried and sent the embroidery to the shop on the street, and disappeared.

Su Mei and the mayor went to Mo Fei's house again, Mo Fei's mother is an intellectual woman, and she talks extraordinarily, but she is very anxious because of her daughter's disappearance, and she has been crying, and the town mayor has been here once before, and she can't ask why, and only has some basic information. Mo Fei has been versatile since she was a child, she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her mother teaches her children well, sending her to the studio in the town to learn painting during the summer vacation, but she does not return home on weekends. After the joint defense team found the bloody skirt in the river, the students in the studio identified it as the dress that Murphy was wearing when he disappeared. The sheriff also asked Murphy's mother to identify it, and her mother took a closer look at the dress before fainting......

Su Mei deliberately pushed the mayor away and asked Mo Fei's mother, "There are some privacy issues, I hope you can cooperate." ”

Murphy's mother wiped her tears and nodded.

Su Mei said: "Your daughter, Mo Fei, does she have a boyfriend, is she still a virgin?" ”

Mo Fei's mother thought for a while and said: "My family Fei'er is very good, and many male classmates like her, but she is only seventeen years old, my family education is very strict, and she opposes early love, and my lover is doing business in other places, so our mother and daughter are together." ”

Su Mei said: "Then think about it, did you find anything abnormal?" ”

Murphy's mom said, "I remember one thing! ”

One night before the incident, the air conditioner in Murphy's room was always on, and the mother was worried about catching a cold, so she got up and went to her daughter's room to turn off the air conditioner. The mother heard a small message from her daughter's room

She knocked on the door and entered, but the daughter did not fall asleep, but sat up suddenly, and turned pale with fright from the sudden intrusion of her mother. The mother asked her daughter if she was having another nightmare. The daughter didn't answer, but trembled with fear, perhaps because of some kind of fear. The window in the room opened, and the mother became suspicious, and the daughter put her finger to her lips and made a shushing gesture. The mother was surprised, the finger on her daughter's lips was removed, pointing to the quilt, she was sitting on the bed, her lower body was still covered with the quilt, the quilt was bulging, and I didn't know what it was.

Murphy's mother wanted to step forward and lift the quilt, but a person suddenly popped out of the quilt, put the quilt on Murphy's mother's head, and jumped out of the window to escape. Most of the windows in Wuyang Town were facing the water, and only a plop was heard, and the man fell into the water and swam away.

Murphy was so frightened that she cried and hugged her mother.

Mo Fei told her mother that when she was asleep, she felt that the window was open, she turned over and continued to sleep, the air conditioner was on in the room, and she had the habit of sleeping with the air conditioner covered with the quilt. Mo Fei vaguely felt that there was an extra person in the bed, the man was lying next to her, Mo Fei opened his eyes, just in time to see a pair of eyes looking at her, and the face of the person could not be seen in the dark. Murphy tried to shout, but the man covered her mouth and pressed a sharp screwdriver against her panties. When Murphy's mother came in, her daughter pretended to be calm, and at that moment, there was a gangster hiding in the bed.

After a long time after this incident, both mother and son were in a state of shock, they thought they had become thieves, and because they had not lost their belongings, they did not report the crime, and the mother found someone to install a guardrail on the window the next day, and cut down a tree by the wall of the house.

The special case team analyzed the clues provided by Murphy's mother, and they believed that it was a case of burglary or attempted rape on the fly, which should have nothing to do with the disappearance of three girls, and that the assailant was holding a screwdriver whose purpose was to steal, not to commit murder.

Bao Chu conducted a detailed investigation of the studio training class, which was opened by a well-known painter with long hair and artistic temperament. According to the long-haired painter, the summer vacation training course has just been held for a week, the students come from several nearby cities, Zhao Xianxian's parents live abroad all the year round, so she came to this town alone to sign up to learn to paint, she and Mo Fei have a good relationship, and the two girls are wearing the same clothes. On the day of her disappearance, the two girls were wearing the same red dress.

Drawing Dragon and the joint defense team did not catch the rat, but they salvaged a jar in the river where the bloody skirt was found.

The mouth of the altar was wrapped in several layers of plastic bags, firmly tied with iron wire, and the jar was heavy, and I didn't know what was inside.

One of the joint defense team members said: "This jar is for wine, and it may be wine inside. ”

Another member of the joint defense team said: "My grandmother also used this kind of jar to marinate duck eggs, there will be no duck eggs in it, right?" ”

The jar was sealed so well that when the task force opened it, everyone was shocked and unbelievable. The joint defense team members were very curious, and privately asked Hualong about what was inside. The dragon said, "Brother, it's not wine, it's not salted duck eggs." ”

Coalition Guard: "What the hell is that?" ”

Draw the dragon: "There is a man in the jar!" ”

Joint defense team: "How is it possible, the mouth of the altar is so small, let alone a person, the head can't be stuffed in." ”

Drawing Dragon: "When I opened the altar, I did see a human head, as for how the human head was stuffed in, our special case team is also studying." ”
