Chapter Seventy-Three: The Telescope (1)
Captain Zhang heard that Luo Chuan said that he was going to the scene, and hurriedly stopped and persuaded him: "Oh, how troublesome it is!" You just came here and haven't had a sip of tea yet, so how can I trouble you to go to the scene! Besides, you two have come all the way, so don't rush to do official business anymore. In this way, I'll take you to rest first, if there is any new news from the county magistrate's side, I'll just tell the two of you, wouldn't that be more worry-free? ”
Luo Chuan's face was very ugly, he didn't want to talk nonsense about this captain. But now that he heard Captain Zhang say this, he finally couldn't help it, so he asked with a cold face, "Worry-free?" Are you a criminal police officer to save your mind? I'm here to find the county magistrate Li Changquan, and now you tell me that he died a strange death, so I should go home after eating and drinking at your place? From this point of view, can you usually handle cases with as much worry as possible, and try not to trouble as much as possible? ”
Captain Zhang saw that Luo Chuan's face changed, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, Team Luo, you see that you misunderstood me!" I'm just afraid that you're working too hard, and you definitely don't mean anything else! If you don't mind, let's go now! Let's go, I'll lead the way, I'll lead the way! Captain Zhang didn't dare to delay more, and hurriedly took Luo Chuan and Guan Shan to the scene of Li Changquan's death.
As soon as he arrived at the place, Luo Chuan snorted coldly and said: "The living environment of this county magistrate is really magnificent, and the house where the director of the city bureau lives is probably not as big as his living room." Luo Chuan looked at this beautiful and quiet villa of several hundred square meters far away from the downtown area, and knew that this Li Changquan was not a good thing.
Captain Zhang's face was embarrassed, he coughed dryly twice, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and crossed the cordon and took Luo Chuan and Guan Shan into the villa.
The interior of this villa is even more magnificent, and unlike the houses of ordinary wealthy merchants, the mansions of officials often show their more high-end and unique tastes. Even if you don't know a few big characters, you must hang a few genuine calligraphy and paintings in the room. Most of those who give bribes and gifts also know how to do what they like. This Li Changquan seems to be a model of high-profile gifts. There is a room full of calligraphy and paintings, and a cabinet of antiques. Just the few handles on the coffee table in the hall can be seen to be very valuable.
Guan Shan looked at the layout of the house, sighed lightly and said: "I heard that this county magistrate Li only has a middle school education level, and I don't know if he can really understand these expensive calligraphy and paintings of chapter grass and wild grass." With his annual salary, I'm afraid he won't even be able to buy this set of furniture. ”
Luo Chuan squinted at Captain Zhang and asked, "This is how your place developed?" Is this the kind of atmosphere in officialdom? ”
Captain Zhang's face was pale, and he said to Luo Chuan as if begging for mercy: "Team Luo, Team Luo, my house is only 87.3 square meters!" One toilet for a family of three! There is no celebrity calligraphy and painting in the house! I haven't changed the floor heating yet! I am conscientious and conscientious in enforcing the law, and I have never engaged in corruption and bribery! ”
"If you haven't done it, the procuratorate will naturally find out." After Luo Chuan finished speaking, he turned around and went with Guan Shan to the second floor of the villa where Li Changquan's death scene was located.
Captain Zhang hurriedly caught up and shouted loudly behind: "Get out of the way of all of you who work!" Put down what you're doing and stay aside! Captain Luo of the criminal police team of the city bureau is here, let him see the murder scene first! When he's done, you're going to do whatever you want! ”
Luo Chuan frowned in disgust, and rushed at the words and deeds of this captain, and he could almost see the rules of officialdom in their place.
The obedient police officers all got out of the way, allowing Luo Chuan and Guan Shan to enter the bedroom where Li Changquan died.
Sure enough, this Li Changquan's death was not only strange, but also very strange.
When you enter the bedroom, you can see Li Changquan hanging in the middle of the house in a standing position. His two arms were tied with long ropes to the curtain rods at each end of the room and to the bookshelves. The whole person is pulled into a shape similar to "Jesus", and there is a long rope around his neck that is fixed to the chandelier. But from the loose buckles, it was clear that he was not hanged. The rope around the neck was just to hold the corpse in a standing position.
The deceased's upper eyelid was forcibly fixed near the eyebrow bone with a stapler, and the flesh was blurry but the eyes could only be kept wide open. Tears and bloodstains spurred by the pain before death mixed and flowed across his face, soaking the collared shirt.
Captain Zhang said that Li Changquan's death was very strange, and Luo Chuan knew where the strangeness was. In the heart of the deceased's left chest, a large hole was opened. In this hole, there is a telescopic monocular about 40 centimeters long!
Guan Shan bypassed the deceased and stood behind the deceased, bent down, looked at Luo Chuan through the telescope in this big hole, smiled a little complicatedly and said, "This is really an unheard of and unseen way to die." Luo Chuan, I can see you here, see the door, and the police outside. It turns out that this is just an ordinary telescope, and there should be nothing special in it. But...... Why did the murderer kill him with a telescope? ”
Captain Zhang, who had been standing far away by the door, subconsciously answered at this time: "Murderer, murderer? ”
Luo Chuan frowned and turned his head and asked: "It's just this death, it wasn't the murderer who did it, could it be that he hung it up and then used a telescope to kill himself!" ”
Captain Zhang knew that he had said the wrong thing again, so he honestly shut up.
Luo Chuan leaned closer to the wound and looked at it and said, "No... He must have been pierced in the chest by something, then wounded by a cylindrical object, and then placed in the telescope. The telescope is not a murder weapon, it is a representative left by the murderer, representing the cause of Li Changquan's death. ”
"Does he have a voyeurism?" Guan Shan was wondering what kind of evil could have anything to do with the telescope.
"I don't know yet, the position of this telescope goes straight through the heart, and the method is vicious. But what did the murderer nail his eyes for? Luo Chuan looked at the bloody eyes and fell into thought.
Guan Shan came over and said: "This kind of death with a strong sense of ritual is generally expressed with obvious intentions. Nailing the eyelids and forcing the deceased to open his eyes should be forcing him to look at something. ”
After listening to Guan Shan's words, Luo Chuan stood beside the deceased and looked in the direction where the deceased's eyes were looking, it was a desk.
Luo Chuan walked over and saw that there was only one children's toy on the clean desk, the music box of the merry-go-round.
Luo Chuan picked up the music box with gloves and said, "This should be a child's toy, which is incompatible with the furnishings in Li Changquan's house!" As he spoke, he spun the clockwork of the music box.
The sound comb inside the music box collided with the rotation of the needle, and there was a crisp and pleasant sound of music. But that tune is exactly - moonlight!
Luo Chuan's eyes widened suddenly when he heard the music, it turned out to be him! The murderer in this case is the moonlight killer they have been trying to track.
"Most of the music box music is to Alice, Castle in the Sky, Wedding March, or Happy Birthday, which is either cheerful or calm, how can it be moonlight? This should have been done by himself, and this was left behind by him...... The special symbol of his crime scene is the moonlight song. Luo Chuan said to himself.
With the gentle rotation of the clockwork, a small note slowly "spit out" from the music box with the speed of the clockwork. On it was a small printed line: I have a long telescope that can see your heart. See if it's red or black.
"Telescopes." Luo Chuan read the contents of the note softly, trying to analyze the relationship between the telescope written on it and the telescope in the deceased's body. Why does it have to be a telescope? The telescope passed through the chest of the deceased in the heart of the deceased, does this mean that it corresponds to the words on the note? Use a telescope to see if the heart is red or black?
Captain Zhang looked at Luo Chuan and Guan Shan's subtle expressions with a dull expression, he originally wanted to observe the words and emotions on the sidelines and curry favor with Luo Chuan and them. But now he really couldn't read the expressions of these two people. Leaving the corpse and the scene unlooking, two big men holding a children's toy music box with an obsessive look on their faces. Could this be the style of the Municipal Criminal Police Team? Captain Zhang thought secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say more and ask more.
finally waited for Luo Chuan to reluctantly put down the music box, and as soon as Captain Zhang thought about it, Luo Chuan preemptively said: "This case is the same murderer as my case, and from now on I will be responsible for this case." I will ask the people in the team to bring you the relevant transfer procedures, and now let your people leave all the physical evidence and clues to the search scene, and they can leave first. As for you, I want you to explain to me seriously and clearly what dirty things are hidden in this place! What kind of immoral things have you people who have anything to do with Li Changquan! ”
When Captain Zhang heard this, his legs were weak. It seems that since Luo Chuan, his legs have been weak.
"Team Luo, where did you get this from? County Magistrate Li is dead, but he is a victim! How did you not mourn and sympathize with us after watching the scene, but also questioned us? If the person who killed County Magistrate Li is really the same person as the murderer in your case, then you have to avenge County Magistrate Li! ”
Luo Chuan lowered his eyebrows and replied lightly: "The problem is that the murderer I want to arrest must have a reason every time I kill someone with my own hands." I hate to say that, either, but to die in Moonlight is almost certain that he deserves to die. You don't have to say so many useless things to me, or tell me the truth as I say. Or, you just grit your teeth and hold on, and keep it to tell the procuratorate. By the way, I have to remind you that this murderer has been committing a crime for several years and has not been caught. If he was able to kill Li Changquan, he must have known something he was interested in. If this concerns you, then you should be careful, because you may be the next person to have a telescope in your heart. ”
Although Luo Chuan's words had the element of scaring Captain Zhang, what he said was also from his heart. If the reason for Li Changquan's killing cannot be quickly ascertained, then it is likely that a second telescope and a third telescope will appear......
Captain Zhang was so frightened that he was about to tremble, and begged Luo Chuan again and again: "Team Luo, don't scare me!" Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you! It seems that I can't afford to be the captain anymore, so you don't want me to lose my life. But I want to declare to you in advance, I really don't know who killed County Magistrate Li and why he was killed! If I'm lying, then, then there will be five thunderstorms! The captain of a small police team was squeezed out of the words "five thunders in the sky", Luo Chuan reluctantly believed in Captain Zhang's sincerity.
There were no clues left at the scene, the villa was built in a remote and quiet location, and there were no eyewitnesses. The people who have been in and out of this house have either given or accepted bribes, let alone have surveillance cameras. The hidden luxury villa has become a favorite crime scene for the murderers.
Luo Chuan contacted the police force and called Ke Xue, Tian Zhen and the evidence team. Luo Chuan felt that this music box should be made by the murderer himself, and there may not be clues. But the telescope should be bought, and if you can find the source of the telescope, you can also follow the vine. Therefore, the evidence in this investigation is very crucial.
Tian Zhen and the others had just left Wudu not long before they were called to Wusong County again. It was inevitable that she was a little tired from running around for days, but as soon as she saw the corpse, she suddenly became energetic! She hurriedly put on gloves and masks, took her toolbox, and asked Luo Chuan excitedly: "Team Luo, you can really find it!" Can you even find such a corpse? ”
Ke Xue also squatted behind the corpse, looked at the telescope with one eye and said, "It's amazing...... It's a long experience to be out on the scene! Can binoculars kill people? It seems that as long as the murderer wants to kill, anything can become a murder weapon. ”
Luo Chuan was in no mood to joke, so he only said to them: "This case was done by the moonlight murderer, and the music box on the table was left by him." You guys should seriously investigate the scene, and when you return to the team, you will have a meeting to consolidate clues. ”
As soon as they heard the moonlight murderer, Ke Xue and Tian Zhen also became serious. They knew that it was a piece of Luo Chuan's heart. From the first profiteer to be killed to this day, Luo Chuan has never let go of this case. So they hurriedly started their own work, hoping to help Luo Chuan catch the murderer as soon as possible.
Luo Chuan and Guan Shan walked to the corridor on the second floor, Luo Chuan sighed and said, "You see, when we investigated Chen Xueru, he might be educating Bai Feng. When we investigated Bai Feng, he may have been killing the deputy county magistrate in Wudu, and when we arrived in Wudu, he came here, left a music box, and inserted a telescope on Li Changquan's body. When we found the telescope today, he didn't know where to go. We will always be chasing after him, but we can't. I can't figure out why I'm always one step slower than him! ”
Guan Shan looked at Luo Chuan's sad face, and stopped talking. He hesitated for a moment, and finally changed the subject and said, "Now let's figure out the telescope and that sentence first, otherwise the next dead person may appear soon." ”
