Chapter 136: Cruel Snow (3)
By eight o'clock in the evening, the snow had become much lighter. The second captain was still lying on the sofa singing, and his voice was louder than when he was not drinking. It seems that he is too happy, and he vents his emotions without any scruples.
Luo Chuan walked to the window and looked at the snow outside.
The snow was already deep, and in the light of the moon, it was shining and even more holy.
Judging by the thickness of the snow on the branches, the snow outside must have been able to bury the ankles. Although this scenery is beautiful, Luo Chuan also began to worry about the traffic problem when he left tomorrow.
Ke Xue greeted Luo Chuan from the fireplace: "Team Luo, what are you looking at!" I think the second captain is probably going to sleep, should I wake him up and let him go back to his room to rest......"
When Ke Xue said this, Luo Chuan found that the loud singing voice was getting weaker and weaker, and the work he worked hard day and night, once he relaxed and drank two sips of wine, it was too easy to fall asleep.
Luo Chuan walked back, covered the second captain with a blanket and said, "Forget it, don't call him, let him sleep first." ”
Ke Xue has always been very happy, he said that such a day, once a year is enough. As a criminal policeman, the biggest luxury is a holiday, a reassuring holiday.
Probably too tired, chatting and chatting, Luo Chuan and Guan Shan also fell asleep on the sofa, and Ke Xue fell next to the second captain, even talking in his dreams with laughter.
But this comfortable time did not last long, Luo Chuan heard Guan Shan calling himself in a deep voice in a trance.
"Luo Chuan, wake up, wake up!" Guan Shan's voice was suppressed and anxious, which made Luo Chuan open his eyes all of a sudden.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Guan Shan sitting in front of him, putting his index finger to his lips, and motioning for Luo Chuan to listen quietly.
After about five seconds, Luo Chuan's shock had already made him sleepless! All the peace of mind, relaxation, and warmth that came before is gone! All that's left is tension and shock!
Because, the moonlight sonata that has disappeared for a long time...... It actually appeared in this place!!
The soothing melody of the piano music, ethereal and melodious, seemed to come from not far away, and seemed to be some distance away from them. It was too quiet in the snowy night, so the sound was very clear when I listened to it.
Luo Chuan glanced at his watch, and it was twelve o'clock at midnight.
Immediately afterward, there was a sharp knock on the door.
Although the second captain and Ke Xue slept soundly, they both woke up at the moment of the knock on the door due to the keen reaction of the criminal police.
The second captain looked confused, but he was also wary, especially after he saw Luo Chuan and Guan Shan's expressions as if they were facing a great enemy, he frowned and said, "It's the middle of the night!" Who is it! Luo Chuan, it can't be those women who came to you, right? ”
The moonlight song had stopped, Luo Chuan didn't speak, only waved his hand to the second captain, and then approached the door quietly and carefully. When he heard the voices of Li Shasha and Su Yang outside the door, he opened the door. The second captain and Ke Xue also immediately came over to see what was going on.
As soon as the door opened, four frightened faces appeared outside. That's Li Shasha, Su Yang, Lin Nan, and Chen Wen. Their panicked expressions let Luo Chuan know that something must have happened.
I only heard these people tremble at the same time and say, "Team Luo, Team Zhu...... Haunted, haunted! It's really haunted! General Chang Sheng has killed someone!! ”
"What did you say?!" Luo Chuan raised his eyebrows, and his eyes widened suddenly.
Lin Nan still seems to be the calmest among these people, but now he is still a little nervous and says: "Du Miao seems to be dead......
"Dead?" After Luo Chuan heard this, he was about to go to the house where Du Miao and the others were.
Guan Shan got dressed and chased after him, and handed Luo Chuan his coat. The second captain and Ke Xue also put on their clothes and went out quickly, and followed Luo Chuan to the place of the incident.
On the way, the two men, Su Yang and Chen Wen, explained the general situation in a few words. said that Li Shasha and they were all attracted by a burst of piano music, and when they opened the door, they saw the shadow on Du Miao's window, she seemed to be hanging on the beam, and there was blood on the window. Shocked, they didn't have the courage to go directly to see it, so they went to find helpers, which were Su Yang and Chen Wen.
The four of them stood at the gate of the courtyard and found that there was a series of huge footprints, extending from Du Miao's room to the courtyard door, with blood drops next to them. It was as if there was a giant who walked out of Du Miao's room, walked to the door and disappeared!
The huge footprints reminded them of the legend mentioned in the afternoon, the tall and victorious general......
Several people are from French shows, and there is also a suspense writer, they know the importance of protecting the scene, so they knocked on Luo Chuan's door for the first time.
While Luo Chuan and the others understood the general situation, they also walked to the Japanese-style courtyard where Du Miao and the others lived. There are three houses in the courtyard, distributed in a triangular shape, on the left is Lin Nan's room, on the right is Li Shasha's room, and Du Miao's room is in the innermost center.
Luo Chuan took the flashlight handed over by the second captain and carefully looked at the footprints on the snow. The chaotic footprints in front of the courtyard should have been caused by Li Shasha and Su Yang, who had just met and when they met. As for the courtyard, there was only one footprint in front of each house, not a footprint going back, and not a footprint walking towards Du Miao's room. That is to say, after Li Shasha and Lin Nan discovered the abnormality on the window of Du Miao's room, they both ran out of the courtyard and never went back. And Du Miao's room should be only herself, except for ...... The footprints of giants.
Luo Chuan looked at the shadow on the window of Du Miao's room in the innermost room from a distance, and there was indeed someone hanging there.
He said in a low voice: "Contact the police immediately and send someone, and be careful not to destroy these footprints." Xiaoxue, you should also contact the management here immediately. There is only one road to this area, and the intersection is the surveillance video. Let them investigate if there are any strangers who have been in and out. ”
Ke Xue gave a serious "um" and immediately started to make calls.
Luo Chuan cautiously walked out of the way and went to Du Miao's room.
At this time, the second captain stood next to the huge footprint, stretched out his foot and compared, and said, "This uncle must be a size 60 shoe, right?" How is that possible? ”
"Be careful, don't spoil the evidence." Luo Chuan reminded the second captain.
In the silence of the snowy night, the sound of the moonlight song had long since stopped. But what is certain is that the voice that Luo Chuan and the others vaguely heard at that time was from Du Miao's room.
Li Shasha followed behind Luo Chuan tremblingly, and said with a crying voice: "Team Luo, is it true that the victorious general has really appeared!" Those footprints can't be human! And you see...... There are no footprints going in, only footprints coming out, how did he get into Du Miao's room! Haunted, this place is really not clean!! Please, protect me! ”
Lin Nan said gloomily on the side at this time: "What, have you done anything wrong?" Even if it's haunted, isn't the legendary Chang Sheng General only killing the wicked? If you haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of? ”
Li Shasha said angrily: "As long as there is a ghost, everyone will be afraid!" Who's like you, freak! I see, if you can't keep it, you killed Du Miao! ”
Chen Wen followed behind and interrupted their quarrel: "Oh, don't argue! It's all this time, what are you arguing about! If you want me to say, there is no ghost, it is more likely to be human! Team Luo...... I...... I've heard about the case of the moonlight murderer, and it seems that it has not been solved yet. We've all heard the moonlight sonata just now, isn't that going to be ......"
In fact, no one in the police wants to hear about this case, because there has been no clear answer to the outside world so far. It's just that after a long time, people gradually stop paying attention. But as long as it is mentioned, it is inevitable that some things will be said such as "incompetence".
At this time, the second captain rushed in front of Luo Chuan and said angrily: "What do you know, you guys! Do you think solving a crime is as simple as you make a TV? If you don't know the specific situation, don't follow the mess! ”
Chen Wen obediently closed his mouth, and even Li Shasha on the side held back her crying. Therefore, sometimes, the second captain's stunned temper is still useful.
Coming to Du Miao's door, Luo Chuan led people to carefully bypass the huge footprints, then looked at the shadow on the window, and tried to push the door. As expected, the gate did not move.
Su Yang exclaimed in the back: "Oh my God, it's a secret room killing!" In reality, there is really such a weird secret room killing!! ”
Li Shasha cried in the corner and said: "What kind of murder in the secret room is simply a ghost crime!" Look at this door and window are locked, how can it be a human doing! ”
"Oops, you all shut up!" The second captain shouted angrily, and then said to Ke Xue: "Why haven't the managers come yet?" Take the key to open the door! ”
Guan Shan walked to the window at this time, turned sideways and glanced inside through the gap in the curtain, and then calmly said to Luo Chuan: "I can't get in, I'm nailed." ”
Luo Chuan raised his eyebrows a little unexpectedly, and also leaned over to take a look. Sure enough, through the crack, one side of the gate could be seen to be full of nails.
Guan Shan touched his chin, thought about it, and said, "Not only is it a secret room, but it is also a sealed secret room. Did you two hear any strange noises in the room? Guan Shan asked Li Shasha and Lin Nan. Because there are so many nails to be driven, there must be some movement. In such a quiet environment, even if the sound insulation effect is good, you will hear more or less, right?
But Li Shasha shook her head and said, "No! I didn't hear anything other than piano music. ”
Lin Nan also said: "Yes, when the song was played for the first time, I thought it was some activity in the resort, but then it sounded like Du Miao's voice, and the single song kept looping, and I was annoyed to listen to it, so I opened the door to take a look." As soon as I opened the door, I saw that the other side was also opening. ”
Guan Shan looked at Luo Chuan, wanting to hear what he meant. At present, there should be no other way than to break in, even if you have a key, you can't open this door. There are blood stains on the windows, and as important evidence, they cannot be destroyed, so they cannot be broken.
At this moment, Su Yang gritted his teeth and said, "What are you waiting for!" Hurry up and knock it open to see what's going on inside! It's been so long, I don't know what happened! It's all my fault, I should have broken in and checked it out in the first place! With that, he pulled Chen Wen up, and the two of them shouted slogans and slammed into the door.
"Wait a minute!" It was too late for Luo Chuan to open his mouth to stop it, and the two big men, Su Yang and Chen Wen, had a great collision force, and they smashed open this Japanese-style wooden door in three or four clicks.
The door fell in response, Luo Chuan stopped others in time, and was the first to walk indoors. He first glanced at the nails on the door, and then said to Ke Xue: "Count the nails and the nail holes in the door frame, and check the situation of this door." ”
The second captain was responsible for stopping the four people and not letting them enter the house first. But Li Shasha's screams still shook the second captain's ears. The second captain tilted his head to avoid the voice, frowned and said, "If you are afraid, go back to your house first and wait for news!" Don't call here, okay? They all say that I have a loud voice, but your voice is even more powerful! Shut up, shut up, don't bother us with the case! ”
Li Shasha said aggrievedly: "I'm more scared to go back, it's better to be with you." ”
In the room, Du Miao hung from the wooden beam by the window. There was a large hole in the abdomen from which the blood dripped down, but it had stopped because of time.
Guan Shan put the back of Du Miao's hand on the back of his hand, and then said to Luo Chuan: "It's been dead for at least an hour, and there is no temperature anymore." ”
Luo Chuan walked to the window and saw that the wooden window was also nailed to death. There is no skylight and back door in this room, if it is just a locked secret room, there are many small tricks that can be completed, but how did the murderer do this kind of secret room that completely nails the doors and windows? He nailed the doors and windows, how did he get out? If it weren't for the huge footprints and blood droplets outside the door, ordinary people would probably really think that Du Miao committed suicide by himself.
Ke Xue came over at this time and reported to Luo Chuan: "Team Luo, there are a total of thirty-seven nails on the gate, and there are also thirty-seven nail holes on the door frame, it should be right." However, when I broke into the door just now, the nails were already twisted, and the nail holes were cracked, and many of them could not be determined by the depth of force. However, I think that this nail seems to be more concentrated in the position of the door lock, probably ...... Make it harder to get in. ”
After hearing this, Luo Chuan went over and glanced at the nails on the door, and they were really bent. Because the nails were nailed diagonally, they were all bent towards the door after being vigorously knocked open, and some of them had broken away from the wooden door frame and were scattered everywhere.
Luo Chuan looked at the tables and chairs around him again, and there was no sign of messiness at all. On the surface, it seems that a ghost suddenly appeared in this secret room, killed someone, and then walked through the door. But Luo Chuan knew that it was impossible. The murderer must have used some method to make this seemingly bizarre murder in a closed room.
The second captain came in through the door at this time, and he brought the management with him. As soon as the caretaker saw the situation in the house, he immediately panicked and said to Luo Chuan: "Luo, Captain Luo...... We don't know how this could happen! I just answered the phone and checked the surveillance, except for a few of you who live in this area, no one has been in or out at all! After arranging your room, even the waiter never came. No one has ever been in or out! The administrator was very flustered, he never expected that this kind of thing would happen when Luo Chuan and they were still here. In his heart, he had been silently praying that this woman was suicidal, in that case, it would have nothing to do with the resort.
