Chapter 163: The Gift (2)
Guan Shan's words reminded Luo Chuan at the right time, and what he said was exactly what Luo Chuan felt weird.
If you look closely at the life-size wool felt doll, this proportion is too real...... It's so real that people will feel hairy after watching it for a long time. And it's okay not to say it, when Guan Shan said this, Luo Chuan even faintly smelled a special smell that can only be found in the forensic office......
Luo Chuan glanced at Guan Shan, didn't speak, and walked straight to the doll. I asked the police officer next to me for a clean cloth instead of gloves, and reached out with his left hand and gently touched the doll.
There is nothing wrong with the surface of the doll being wool felt, but the weight felt by this light touch makes Luo Chuan no longer relaxed. He cautiously moved closer, and since his right hand was injured, he could only use his left hand to check, which also happened to reduce the strength of his dominant hand.
When Luo Chuan gently brushed aside the wool felt on the baby's face and wanted to see what material it was made of, Guan Shan suddenly said behind his back: "Luo Chuan, don't touch her, come back." It's not much of a work of art...... As time passes, the stiffness of the corpse becomes softer and softer, and less evidence can be found. In front of the public, while the onlookers don't know what this is, hurry up and transport it away. so as not to cause worse adverse effects. ”
Luo Chuan didn't need to ask Guan Shan why he was so sure, because when he had just started to pluck the surface of the wool felt, a stronger smell came to his face. Everyone in the room could smell it, and they all knew what it was.
Luo Chuan slowly retreated, whispered a few words in Ke Xue's ear, and the kid rushed out without thinking. It didn't take long for the surrounding onlookers to be almost cleared. There were only one or two left who were still not giving up, watching from afar. But from this distance, I shouldn't be able to see anything.
Luo Chuan contacted Tian Zhen with the fastest response speed and dispatched police personnel. The "doll" was taken away alone and brought back to the police force along with the security guards and eyewitnesses.
Until he returned to the police force, the second captain still still did not react to what had happened. He didn't catch up with Luo Chuan, who was walking like a fly in front of him, and could only drag Guan Shan, who was walking gracefully and slowly.
"Hey, Guan Shan. You'll go later...... This is my case anyway, do you want to give me a better explanation and explanation? The extra doll...... Is it really made of dead people? The second captain's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
Guan Shan patted the second captain comfortingly, and said with a smile: "The second captain doesn't need to panic, that doll is not necessarily made of dead people." ”
When the second captain heard this, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could take a breath, Guan Shan said again: "It may also be made with a living person." Therefore, the witnesses and security guards who were present at the time were very important. It's impossible for a doll to appear in such a large mall display window out of thin air, right? ”
"I got into an argument with them because of this, when they called the police, the window glass was fine, and it was because of the chaos that it was broken. I'll just say, it's normal to lose things in the mall, how can there be more things for no reason? The second captain was already in a hurry at this time, and he couldn't express his emotions well.
Guan Shan took a tissue from the desk of the police officer next to him, handed it to the second captain, and said, "You better calm down first, they didn't let you go before, and you can't tell what that doll is." It's not your fault, don't think about it yet. Hurry up and prepare the interrogation room, Luo Chuan and Tian Zhen will definitely go to the forensic office first to let Xing Lao identify the weird doll, and what we have to do now is to ask for some clues from the mouths of those twenty or so people. ”
Of course, the second captain was anxious at the moment, there was a corpse in the window, but he still quarreled with the mall security for more than an hour. How depressed he was, but now that Guan Shan said it made sense, he nodded and hurriedly started the work he had to do.
There was a long queue in the corridor outside the interrogation room, and they were all security guards, administrators, and witnesses at the time. There was a loud discussion and speculation about what was going on.
Just as the second captain and Guan Shan began to ask the fifth security guard, Luo Chuan walked in.
The second captain looked at Luo Chuan in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?" You're not usually right...... Is Xing Lao's side more interested? Since there were still outsiders present, the second captain did not directly explain that Luo Chuan usually attaches more importance to corpse information. Especially, it's such a weird corpse.
Luo Chuan shook his head and said, "The old man blasted me out, and I will be notified of the results." I'm going to hear what they have to say, how the doll got into the window. ”
As soon as the second captain mentioned this question, he angrily threw the pen on the table and said angrily: "I've asked five!" The basic confession is the same, it has been three days since their monitoring equipment failed, and it has not been repaired yet. In other words, not only did you know how the doll got in, but there was no way to know how the fake jewelry got out! These people were killed in one bite and we lost them after we arrived, and it seems that it is not easy for me to figure it out! The second captain said angrily.
Luo Chuan looked at the security guard suspiciously: "The monitoring of the mall has been problematic for three days?" If the clever thief had known about it, you would have more to lose than just the ornaments. ”
The security guard grabbed his hair with a sad face and said, "Is something wrong?" I've never been in this position in my life! What the hell is going on? ”
The second captain slapped the table vigorously and reminded: "Answer the question!" ”
The security guard was frightened and hurriedly replied: "The security monitoring system of the mall is not like an ordinary shop." It's big! The area is also huge! It's hard to fix something wrong! The main thing is right...... It's not that it's broken for three days in a row, it's just repaired, it's broken, it's repaired again, it's broken again...... We all suspect that some resentful employee who left the mall was playing tricks. ”
Luo Chuan nodded, and said to himself: "The successive destructions are testing your repair speed, and all the destruction is to pave the way for today." After speaking, Luo Chuan thought for a while, and then asked the security guard: "Your monitoring is broken, the opposite house should be good, right?" What kind of shop is opposite? ”
The security guard replied, "Yes... It's a cake shop!! It's quite big, mainly making all kinds of pastry bread, and all kinds of cakes, eh, their staff just stayed with me! It should be out there now! ”
Luo Chuan nodded, and then said to the second captain: "You take down the confessions of the mall personnel here, and I'll ask those witnesses." ”
The second captain looked at Luo Chuan and didn't speak, if this was the original, he promised to jump up and point at Luo Chuan's nose and tell him that this case was not his! But for now...... The second captain is not going to do that.
Guan Shan raised his eyes and looked at Luo Chuan: "Do you need me to accompany you?" ”
Luo Chuan waved his hand and walked out of the door: "No need, you better stay here and watch our irascible second captain!" When you get into a fight with witnesses in the police force, it's a big deal. ”
The second captain, who had suppressed his temper, was furious after listening to Luo Chuan's last two words. If it weren't for the presence of that mall security guard, he would have rushed out to reason with Luo Chuan!
Luo Chuan found the four witnesses in the corridor who had nothing to do with the mall. One is a passerby, one is a cleaner, one is a hangover drunkard, and the other is an employee of the cake shop opposite the mall.
None of the three in front of them gave any useful testimony, none of them saw how the doll was put inside, and no one saw any suspicious people around the mall. Only the drunkard, who slept on a roadside bench all night, said that when he came last night, there were no dolls in the window. Luo Chuan asked him what time he was near the mall, and after thinking about it, he replied very vaguely that Luo Chuan said that it was about one or two o'clock in the middle of the night.
Luo Chuan took a deep breath helplessly and asked, "How much did you drink last night?" ”
The drunkard rubbed his palms a little embarrassed and said with a smile, "This...... If I remembered, I wouldn't have slept on a bench on the side of the road! I remember that I started drinking it at noon, and I drank it for several rounds! Anything you can think of, I guess I've drunk it all. ”
Luo Chuan frowned and said, "You don't even remember how much you drank, but you can still remember what was in the window of the mall?" Luo Chuan gradually lost confidence in these witnesses, and 99% of this testimony, which seemed to be a bit useful, was still drunk. Even if he were to go to court, the testimony of a drunken and unconscious drunkard would not be admissible.
But the drunkard had his own words: "Comrade policeman, I'm not like those who join in the fun!" If it weren't for the sincerity to help the police solve the case, I would have drunk the first meal by now, okay? I drank a lot last night, but the bench I slept on was directly opposite the window! There was only a pedestrian street between me and the window. I chose that chair to rest because the flickering dim light in the window at that time was so beautiful that it looked like stars. Inside, there are several large platforms of varying heights, on which are placed women's prosthetic hands, with all kinds of jewelry. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's all hand models, and there is absolutely no whole model! The drunkard swore solemnly, and his tone was extremely determined. But the tongue that was not very straight made it impossible for Luo Chuan to fully trust him. In the end, he could only leave a mobile phone number and go home to sober up first.
The last witness was the employee of the cake shop, and Luo Chuan pinned his hopes on this man who seemed to be honest and responsible. If none of these last witnesses come up with anything useful, then all of their witnesses are useless.
The man who worked in the cake shop was named Liu Xiang, 31 years old, wearing glasses and looking honest and loyal. I heard that he took the initiative to ask to come to the police force with him. Luo Chuan now wants to hear what valuable clues he has.
Liu Xiang looked flustered after seeing Luo Chuan, and he wanted to speak several times, which made Luo Chuan even more puzzled.
"Do you have anything to say? Do you know anyone who resents that mall? It doesn't matter, here you can tell me all your guesses. Luo Chuan looked at Liu Xiang's eyes and said seriously.
Liu Xiang pushed his glasses, as if struggling with something. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he sighed and said, "Comrade policeman, I don't know much about the situation between the employees of the mall. I have to come with the police force because I want to ask you a question......"
"What's the problem?"
"That'...... That doll...... Is it made of people? Liu Xiang looked at Luo Chuan in horror, as if he was eagerly waiting for an answer.
Luo Chuan was slightly surprised, because they didn't reveal a word about the body of the wool felt doll! This person...... How do you know? Did he see a scene of the murderer's crime?
Seeing Luo Chuan's hesitant face, Liu Xiang hurriedly stood up and said, "Oh, comrade policeman, you don't want to keep it a secret at this time!" If this is really a murder case, I probably know the girl who was made into a doll!! ”
Looking at Liu Xiang's anxious appearance, Luo Chuan couldn't help but ask, "Do you know?" The doll was poked with wool felt all over its body, and it was already a complete wool doll. Even the eyes are no exception, how do you look at a doll and feel that it is someone you know? ”
Liu Xiang's tears were about to fall, he rushed over and grabbed Luo Chuan's hand and said, "Because the necklace around the doll's neck was brought by a regular girl in our cake shop!" Her name is Xiaoyun, so the necklace pendant is a very special cloud shape, and if you look closely, you can also see that the letter Y is engraved on the cloud. ”
Luo Chuan saw that Liu Xiang said in such detail, and couldn't help but become serious. He calmed Liu Xiang and said slowly, and then poured Liu Xiang another glass of water.
Liu Xiang held the paper cup with some trembling, tried to calm down and said, "Xiaoyun is already an old customer in our store...... Every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday, she comes after work to buy a mango mille-feuille cake. Many of us in the store know her, and every time she comes back, we will definitely leave her out. I always ask her how she keeps her figure so fond of cakes. Xiaoyun has a very good personality, loves to joke, and is a very big girl, so we will be familiar with it after a long time. Three days ago, Xiaoyun came to order the cake, which was a birthday cake. She paid the money, chose the style, and left happily...... Today is the day she picks up the cake...... However, she did not show up ......"
Luo Chuan frowned, looked at Liu Xiang and asked, "Do you know who she ordered the cake?" Who is the birthday? Luo Chuan felt that this birthday person may be very important.
Liu Xiang had red eyes, slowly looked up at Luo Chuan and replied, "Today...... It's her birthday...... She bought the cake for herself. A few of our clerks also prepared a small surprise for her, and specially made a larger mango mille-feuille for her as a gift......" Liu Xiang said, and couldn't help choking: "Xiaoyun ...... today." 26 years old......"
