Burying Youth: Chapter 14: Where the Soul Returns
The deceased's name was Wang Sisi, an art student.
When her father woke her up this morning, he realized that something was wrong when he found that his daughter had been unconscious, and he put his finger to his daughter's nostrils and found that she had stopped breathing. The cause of death and modus operandi are not yet known.
"Can you determine the time of death?" I looked around the room to make sure there was no sign of a break-in.
Forensic Xiaoqin shook her head, "It's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing... Suddenly stop breathing without warning...... With our facilities and equipment, it is difficult to find out. ”
"It's okay," I said, "if you can't find out, don't check it, because there's no point in it." ”
Officer Zhao was puzzled: "Why?" If the time of death and the means of committing the crime are not found, there is no way to investigate further. ”
I didn't answer his question, and turned to Wang Sisi's father, "Your daughter went out yesterday, right?" And came back very late? ”
The royal father nodded stunnedly, "My daughter said yesterday that she was going to go out with her classmates, and she didn't come back until about eleven o'clock in the evening. ”
"You are ......" Xiaoqin was about to say one of the many lines in the detective drama, when Yan Yurou, who was leaning against the wall and wrapping her arms around, took over the conversation.
"Because the clothes she piled up there were obviously out to wear, it means that she was carefully dressed up yesterday, and if she stayed at home, it would be completely redundant, and moreover, judging from the placement of items in her room, she is a very tidy person, but her pile of clothes was thrown on the side of the bed, indicating that she was too tired yesterday and came back too late, took off her clothes and went to bed directly."
I looked at the girl in amazement...... Is this still the little talkative?
"But this is ...... from what Lin said before."
"It doesn't matter."
For God's sake, and for the sake of the families of the deceased, I added a second after Yan Yurou learned from me.
"But we can tell that the murderer did not commit the crime in this room, but when they were dating."
"Hmm...... I can understand that a well-dressed girl goes out on a date, but Lin classmate you said that 'the murderer's place of crime was during the date period', I don't quite understand, if the murderer attacked the deceased on a date, why did she die in her own bed? ”
I smiled slightly, "That's why I'm here, Officer Zhao." ”
"You mean......" Officer Zhao suddenly realized.
"Well, I need some time to think, please go out first, oh yes, Yanyurou please throw out the guy who is hiding in a corner and secretly observing."
Under the unaware gaze of everyone, Yan Yurou walked to the door and pulled He Jing, who was peeking in the crack of the door, rudely in.
"Oops, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......"
"Ms. He, it's hard to follow all the way, isn't it? Do you want me to make you a cup of tea? ”
He Jing rubbed the painful place that was pulled by Yan Yurou's hand, and was not embarrassed at all because she was discovered, but looked like she took it for granted, "Ha, it is worthy of Lin Tianxiang, and his insight is really not ordinary." ”
However, Officer Zhao frowned and said coldly to the liaison: "Can't you even see the scene?" A schoolgirl came in! ”
"Team Zhao, you can't blame us, that girl said that she came to handle the case with Officer Lin......"
"Hmph, don't think I don't know, in addition to saying these words, she also deliberately sold cuteness to you, and then you guys who have been single for more than ten years just let her in without thinking about it, right?!"
"Hey...... This weird girl is pretty, isn't she? ”
"I'll settle accounts with you when I go back!" Officer Zhao put down the walkie-talkie and said to He Jing, "Then, go out with us, classmate Lin has to think." ”
Of course, He Jing, who finally got in, was not happy, "No, what is he thinking?" I'm here too! ”
"Huh, now you're starting to be a detective?" Yan Yurou sneered, grabbed He Jing's arm again, and took the person out. Seeing this, the others also followed.
The room fell silent, I found a chair, sat down, and closed my eyes.
"Hey, he can find the murderer after thinking about it?" He Jing, who didn't know the height of the sky, poked Yan Yurou's waist with his hand and asked curiously.
"I can't."
"Then he's thinking about a ghost!" He Jing shouted.
Yan Yurou smiled: "You seem to care?" ”
"It's a matter of personal safety, who knows who will be next?"
"Heh, you deserve it, who is to blame for playing with yourself?"
Yan Yurou looked at He Jing with disdain, and then said, "Even if you are Vidocq or Sherlock Holmes or something, this matter is not for you to have the ability to investigate, because your 'cognition' hinders the brain's judgment. ”
"Huh...... I see, you're saying it's not an ordinary criminal case but a ......"
Non-routine crimes.
In my temple of mind, I managed to flip through cases of unconventional crimes similar to this one.
"Do people have souls?" This question has been debated between religion and science, even if scientific research suggests that if the soul element particles attached to the human body are substances, then it should have a certain weight, and when a person dies, the soul will leave the body, so the weight of the person before death and the weight after death should be changed, and the number of changes may be the weight of the soul.
But this does not convince everyone.
It wasn't until the [Soul Stripping Case] in 2013 that the world knew that souls really existed.
On Christmas Eve 2013, a family in Quebec, Canada, died "peacefully", their physical functions were intact, but they stopped breathing. The cause of death, modus operandi, and the murderer were completely unknown, and the police were at a loss until John. Barry's intervention.
John. Barry, a Canadian sword agent, also rose to fame for his soul-stripping case.
Barry and his assistants found in the autopsy results that the three deceased had lost weight, probably around 21 grams.
It immediately occurred to him that "the weight of the soul is 21 grams". This is a pseudoscience proposed by Duncan MacDougall in the early twentieth century, and although it is considered false, it seems to be very coincidental that the current situation corroborates this claim.
Thinking of this, Barry began to search the database of the hanging sword, and after several days and nights of searching and investigation, he and his assistant locked their eyes on a thirty-two-year-old man named Jacob.
Jacob, also based in Quebec, Canada, was tested a few years ago to possess supernatural energy, which has the ability to make people weigh less. This seemingly ordinary, inconspicuous ability made Barry suspicious.
Supernatural energy is very peculiar, it will grow with the age of the host or some other reason, PTAE (paranormal testing and evaluation, English full name Paranormal testing and evaluation), the sword of various countries will test and register unknown mutants every year. The biggest loophole is that it ignores its growth, and perhaps the ability to start out will become even more terrifying......
Barry's investigation also found that Jacob had cancer at the age of twenty-seven, but he is now not only living well, but also has a well-paying job.
After some twists and turns, Barry successfully found the suspect, and the test results were shocking.
