Chapter 18: Innocent? Not innocent?
It's also a coincidence.
Inspector Huang actually didn't dare to take credit, and most of the time they relied on luck to find out the identity of the deceased in the patrol room.
Otherwise, with the current manpower of the patrol room, I don't know how much effort it takes to match possible candidates from the vast volumes. But I don't know if it's luck or what, just when the police officers were heading at the numerous missing records, the victim's family just happened to come to the door.
"We can't believe it's him......"
A few days ago, Ma Yongan, the son of Ma Borui, the president of the Sanxiang Chamber of Commerce, disappeared, and his third aunt was so anxious that she made a big fuss about patrolling the house, forcing Inspector Huang to hand over the people within three days.
Inspector Huang didn't dare to offend these gentry, and also sent a lot of police to investigate.
Ma Yongan is only 17 years old, still in middle school, with simple social relations, he goes to school and goes home on weekdays, and occasionally hangs out with his classmates.
After leaving school on the day of his disappearance, he told his friend that he wanted to go to a place alone, but he didn't return home until the evening, and when the family was panicked in the middle of the night, he called the police. Other than that, there are no clues.
Although the police force in the patrol room is tight, it has also taken a lot of effort, but unfortunately nothing has been found.
As time passed, the family became more and more anxious, and the third aunt came to patrol the house several times, and Inspector Huang could hardly parry.
On this day, she once again came uninvited, broke into Inspector Huang's office, wore heavy makeup, permed her wavy long hair, and slammed Inspector Huang's desk. Inspector Huang didn't dare to offend her, so he could only accompany her to pat her chest and promise to help her find her son.
However, the third aunt has come too many times, and she is not willing to easily believe his assurance, so she still makes a lot of trouble.
She is forty years old, gradually declining and relaxed, and her son is the only hope, so she naturally cares about it.
Of course, she didn't believe that anything would really happen to her son, but she just felt that maybe the young man left home in a bad mood, or went somewhere to have fun, so it was not so much worrying as coming to the patrol room to show off his privileges, forcing Inspector Huang to hand over his son as soon as possible.
Inspector Huang didn't take it seriously at first, but things in the world are so coincidental that there is no book, and when the third aunt was scolding indiscriminately, there happened to be an upright little policeman who sent Inspector Huang a photo of the corpse splitting case.
- Originally, when the third aunt was too there, the general patrol did not dare to disturb, lest this grumpy lady see it and be afraid of getting angry and angry with others.
But as soon as the case was really urgent, Inspector Huang gave a death order, as long as the clear photos were washed out, they should be sent to him immediately; Second, the person in charge of this matter was a stunned young man, who only thought about solving the case, and hurriedly came to deliver the information without thinking too much.
Inspector Huang was very embarrassed by the scolding of the dog's blood spray, and after taking the photo, he motioned for the little policeman to withdraw. The third aunt squinted her eyes and caught a glimpse, and suddenly she was struck by lightning and shouted, "Slow! You...... Show it to me! ”
Her lips twitched, her face pale, scared and nervous, wanting to look but not daring to look.
Inspector Huang saw that she didn't look right, his heart moved, handed over the photo, and asked cautiously, "Does Madame recognize her?" ”
The third aunt only glanced at it, and then fainted with a wail.
Inspector Huang panicked, and hurriedly found someone to get smelling salt, anointed with wind oil, and pinched people, and finally rescued the person. The third aunt Tailai beat the ground and cried: "My hard-working son! ”
There is a shallow star-shaped scar on the inside of the right elbow on that arm, which ordinary people can't notice, but the third aunt gets along with her son day and night, and she is the most familiar with it, and she can be sure that this is Ma Yongan's arm just by looking at it.
Inspector Huang got the news, and after many corroborating evidence, he finally believed the identity of the deceased.
The matter was serious, and he didn't care about comforting the third aunt, so he hurriedly came to report to Zhou Gongzi.
This is a big breakthrough in the case!
"Sanxiang Chamber of Commerce?"
Zhou Erya frowned slightly when she heard the news.
Now the clues are more and more concentrated, the Sanxiang Chamber of Commerce is an organization of Hunan businessmen, and it is also quite powerful in Shanghai - this has another layer of relationship with the mysterious Xiangxi, the origin of the seven-hand soul.
"yes!"
Inspector Huang nodded excitedly: "Sure enough, as Zhou Gongzi speculated, this case is inseparable from those ghost doors in Xiangxi." I asked, President Ma is also from Xiangxi, and he didn't move to Changsha until he was an adult, and he didn't bring his family to Shanghai until he was 30 years old, and he lived in Hunan before that. ”
Until now, there is finally a person directly involved in this case.
Consistent with the speculative clues, this means that the case is cleared up, and with the possibility of further investigation, how can he not be excited.
Zhou Erya was not as excited as him, and only asked lightly: "Can the identity of the deceased be completely determined?" While the mother's testimony should not be wrong, the scars are not unique either. ”
There is still a certain probability that the deceased had similar scars, which may not necessarily be the missing teenager Ma Yongan.
Inspector Huang nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "After the third aunt confirmed, we immediately did a supplementary investigation. His father, classmates and friends have all identified and confirmed, and at least nine percent of them are sure that this arm belongs to Ma Yongan. According to the results of the autopsy, it took about three to five days for the arm to be cut off, which is consistent with the time of Ma Yongan's disappearance. ”
Of course, he had to chase this clue, Inspector Huang is also an experienced agent, and after doing verification, he dared to come to Zhou Erya.
Han Yu looked at the information given by the patrol room, especially after seeing Ma Yongan's photo, he was particularly angry, this is a beautiful and delicate young man, his eyes are dazed, on the whole, he has not yet grown up, he should have a good flowering season, but now he can't even find a complete corpse.
"Damn!"
"Forget about revenge and killing, this innocent victim is really distressing."
The resentment of revenge is understandable, but the fire burns on the body of the unrelated, which makes people angry.
Who is it that would do such a hurtful thing?
Zhou Erya shrugged her shoulders and comforted: "It's not necessarily innocent, the truth we can see is only a part. ”
He stared at the young man in the photo, the look on his face more mocking than sympathetic.
"Not innocent?"
Han Yu didn't know what he meant.
Isn't this the seven-handed soul retainer you proposed?
If the murderer was trying to complete the curse, then these seven people died unjustly?
Zhou Erya smiled: "I want to read something deeper through simple records." Including the local chronicles and Nong Yuhua's narrative, these two known seven-handed souls, I'm afraid the truth is not simple. ”
He paused, thoughtfully.
"And this time, I'm afraid it's even more complicated."
There are too many people and things involved to be superficial.
"Anyway, let's go to the Sanxiang Chamber of Commerce first, and then find out the situation."
