It was already three o'clock in the morning when Shi Dazhuang received the call.

He hurriedly washed his face and rushed out of the house, and at the same time called Captain Sun of the security team.

Prostitution has always been under the control of the security forces, and the criminal investigation teams generally do not interfere. But this case is unusual, as someone used mind control laws to organize prostitution, and was suspected of kidnapping and illegal restriction of personal freedom. The most important thing is that there was a homicide, although it has not yet been determined whether it was a murder or not.

He drove all the way, and assigned tasks all the way through the phone. When I called Hu Xing, I didn't answer after a few sounds. He thought about it, a rich daughter, it was not easy to be this criminal policeman, so he didn't fight again.

When he arrived at the Spring Moon Garden, Shi Dazhuang showed his ID and entered the No. 11 townhouse, in addition to the people from the police station, several members of the criminal police team who lived nearby had also arrived.

At a glance, he saw Aoki sitting in the living room to be questioned.

"Aoki-sensei!" Shi Dazhuang walked over to say hello, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The team members who had arrived early replied: "That's right, a singing girl in the bar where Aoki-sensei is located disappeared, and the barkeeper and waiter found this place, and then was illegally detained, and Aoki-sensei called the police and found this place with the comrades from the police station." ”

"That's right." "When we arrived, they—" he pointed to the two women sitting next to him, "both tied up in the room, and he—" and he gestured to a young man lying on the couch, "who was a waiter at the bar, lying on the floor in the next room, unconscious." ”

"Who died?" Shi Dazhuang asked.

"Oh, it's a pimp, Forensic Doctor Chen has arrived, upstairs." The officer said.

Shi Dazhuang said sorry to Aoki and hurried upstairs.

In the atrium on the second floor, there are also police officers from the police station who are making notes on a young woman trembling in pajamas. And most of the people in the criminal investigation team are in the room.

On the bed in the room lay a naked male corpse. Forensic doctor Chen Jianzhong was doing a detailed examination of the corpse, and when he saw Shi Dazhuang coming in, he stood up and shook his head and said, "It should be a sudden death, and I have to go back to the team to confirm the details." ”

Shi Dazhuang nodded, patted Chen Jianzhong on the shoulder and said, "Hard work!" ”

Chen Jianzhong smiled and didn't say anything. After so many years of forensic medicine, I have become accustomed to it.

Other cadres of the criminal investigation detachment also arrived one after another, and on the basis of the police station, they conducted supplementary investigation and evidence collection at the scene, and the work was carried out in an orderly manner.

Shi Dazhuang then went to the hidden hall on the first floor, looked at the large mirrors and frowned.

The mirror is more than one person high, two people wide, and the front and back are mirrors. There is a gap of about two meters between the mirrors, and a Bagua Array is arranged throughout the hall, which is not like the shape of the Bagua Array. Shi Dazhuang counted them, and there were twelve in total.

He walked around the mirrors and noticed that there were several mirrors that were strange. He could see many overlapping images in the mirror, some of which seemed to be distorted. He knew that it was an optical principle, and that it must be caused by the angle of the mirror or the unevenness of the mirror surface of which mirror. But seeing such a statue in the middle of the night was still uncomfortable, he felt a little dizzy, his chest was stuffy, and his breathing was a little unsmooth.

His attention was on the mirror, and there was a sudden "rattle" sound under his feet, as if he had stepped on something. He looked down at the many pieces of broken glass, only to see that one of the mirrors on the side had been shattered, and only an empty frame remained.

The feeling of dizziness disappeared and breathing became easier.

He reached out and pushed the edge of one of the mirrors, and the mirror swirled along the fulcrum in the middle of the ground, like a revolving door at the entrance of a hotel.

"Report to the bureau and ask the provincial department to send experts in mind control over." Shi Dazhuang looked at the slowly rotating mirror image that kept changing.

……

After tossing all night, Shi Dazhuang returned to the office, resting on a chair while sorting out the case in his mind. This is a habit he has developed for many years, no matter whether it is complicated or simple, he will calm down and sort out the context of the case when he comes back from the scene.

The deceased's name was Liang Kai, a native of Wuzhong, who had been in the detention center for gambling and pimping. The temporary hostess of the terraced house is named Li Qian, a student at the Conservatory of Music, and the victim Mo Yu is a roommate in the same dormitory.

According to Li Qian's confession, she met Liang Kai when she was working in a nightclub, and the two conspired to start a pimping business, Liang Kai was responsible for finding customers, and Li Qian was responsible for looking for beautiful female students in the conservatory and art school who were willing to sell their hues for money.

Later, Li Qian met a man named Situ and learned some simple hypnotism. The mirror maze in that townhouse was designed by Situ for her. She uses hypnosis and mirror maze to control some of the schoolgirls.

At first, they only earned some commissions through pimping, but later found out that after the female students were controlled, they didn't know what they had done, so she and Liang Kai simply swallowed all the money from the prostitution of those girls.

Mo Yu is also one of the girls they control, but according to Li Qian, her hypnosis of Mo Yu is not very successful, and she must be asked to come back every night to strengthen it, and then Liang Kai will send her to the client.

That day, someone asked Mo Yu to go to the bar to sing to save the scene, Li Qian was afraid of arousing suspicion, so she agreed, anyway, as long as she came back before twelve o'clock, it turned out to be an accident.

Shi Dazhuang knew a little about this, Aoki once approached him for this, and told them that the girl who sang in their bar might be mentally controlled, and asked them to help check Li Qian and a person named Situ. Shi Dazhuang helped check it out because of his friend's face at that time, but to be honest, he didn't pay much attention to it.

After Mo Yu learned the truth about his controlled prostitution, he went back to Li Qian to theorize, but he was controlled again. Luckily, the barmaid and waiter found it.

Regarding what happened later, Li Qian's confession was a little confusing, one moment saying that they tied up Mo Yu and Bi Shenghua and sent them to the client, and the other said that Liang Kai was beaten to death by the thugs sent by the client. But the fact at the scene is that the two women were tied up in the storage room downstairs by them, and when the police arrived, they had already been rescued by Aoki, and Liang Kai died in Li Qian's bed.

Although Li Qian's preface does not match the afterword, through the confessions of Aoki, Mo Yu, the barkeeper and the waiter who woke up in a coma until the early hours of the morning, the whole process of the incident is already very clear.

There are only two points that are not clear at this point.

The first is the cause of Liang Kai's death, whether it was sudden death or homicide?

Second, what's so strange about the twelve mirrors, and who is that person named Situ?

Experts from the provincial department estimate that it will not arrive until at least tomorrow, and Chen Jianzhong's autopsy report should be available today.

There are also those girls who have been controlled into prostitution, and I don't know when they will all be recovered. Although Li Qian is the organizer, the customers are all found by Liang Kai, and now that Liang Kai is dead, he can only check slowly from his mobile phone contacts.

If Liang Kai's death was killed by him, then things are complicated!
