Chapter 24: The Truth?
"Lingling is pregnant?"
It's raining now, and it might not be so appropriate to describe it as a thunderbolt in the clear sky, but that's how I feel, and for a moment, I wondered if it was my child, but I immediately remembered that the last time we met, Lingling clearly told me that she had come to her period, and that we hadn't made out since then, and that the child couldn't be mine.
Thinking of this, the shock has completely turned into a sense of humiliation, anger, grievance, unwillingness, in short, all the unpleasant emotions instantly surged into my heart, at this time the rain is getting heavier and heavier, every drop of rain is like a thousand pounds of weight, I can't breathe, after this night, whenever it rains at night, I will become very manic.
"This slut, less than a month after breaking up, actually had a child with another man?" I cursed inwardly, and then said through gritted teeth
"Hear clearly, Lingling broke up with me a month ago, didn't she tell you?"
Lingling on the other end of the phone was obviously speechless in surprise and said hesitantly
"You... You guys broke up? That kid is... Be... Who is it for? ”
Now every word Lingling said was an insult to me, and I didn't want to put up with it anymore, so I just hung up the phone.
After putting away the phone, I took two deep breaths, remembering our first acquaintance, our love, and the last dance she danced for me, when I suddenly felt something in the grass next to me and shouted loudly
"Who is it?"
But there was no sound in the grass
"It's so late, how can there be anyone, it's the rumors."
I persuaded myself like this, I walked firmly, not back to the dormitory, but back to Du Ruo's crime scene, now I just want to catch the murderer and prove myself.
After returning to 807, Zhang Kexin asked with a cigarette in his mouth
"Why did you come back? I'm going to call you. ”
"I'm going to ask for help." I said coldly
"What do you say?"
At this time, Officer Hu also walked up to my side, and just wanted to say something to me, but he paused and asked
"Hey... Why do you look different? ”
"Don't say so much, let's solve the case." Although Zhang Fan said that there are still some doubts in this case, however, after his guidance, I have already treated this case as a separate closed room murder case, and now what I have to do is to find out how the murderer made the secret room.
The first is the key replay technique, which is placed on a bedside table far from the door, and the crack in the door is not enough to fit a key, which will not work;
Secondly, the method of killing people outside the secret room, Du Ruo was not poisoned or stabbed to death with a knife, but was hanged by someone in a more complicated way, which could not be done by using a mechanism outside, and this method would not work;
Immediately afterwards, the fake secret room technique, the old-fashioned door of the school dormitory, seems to be easy to do.
I walked to the door, kept opening and closing the bedroom door, and looking at the screw heads on the old hinges, I seemed to think of something, biting my nails, and falling into deep thought.
Seeing me like this, Su Yong and the others began to discuss again
"Hey, it doesn't seem like it's a nail split this time, right? It seems to be real. ”
"yes, it's like a different person when you come back from outside."
"Screw heads, half of the screws, super glue boxes, fake secret rooms... I see. ”
I finally figured it out, and although there was Zhang Fan's reminder, it still gave me a sense of accomplishment.
I said to Officer Hu with a confident smile
"Officer Hu, take this door down."
Officer Hu said with some embarrassment
"I'm afraid it's not in line with the rules to seriously damage the scene like this..."
But I said nonchalantly
"Believe me, when you open this door, the truth will be revealed."
After much hesitation, Officer Hu chose to believe me and ordered a few of his men to tear down the door.
The officer shouted in surprise as he unscrewed all the screws on the hinge using an electric turn
"What's going on?"
"What's wrong? What did you find? Officer Hu hurriedly ran over to inquire, and was very surprised when he saw it, picked up a screw, and turned around to ask me
"What's going on? How come these screws are only half of them? ”
At this time, everyone also looked forward
"Really, the 12 screws on the three hinges are only half."
Immediately afterwards, the police officer in charge of breaking the door said
"It's strange, all 12 screws have been removed, but the door still can't be removed."
"How is that possible?" Officer Hu was a little unconvinced, said with a complaining tone, and pulled down the bedroom door hard, but the door did not move, Officer Hu used all his strength, but no matter how hard he tried, the door just wouldn't come down.
I said with a smile
"I'm afraid, I'll have to trouble a few more police uncles, and we can work hard together to move it down."
Hearing me say this, Officer Hu called a few more people, 6 or 7 big men, and used all his strength to "pull" the door down.
Officer Hu scolded
"What kind of door is this, rusty? At this time, Officer Hu seemed to notice something, and hurriedly called the police officers of the Identification Department to come over
"Hey, hey, come here, what's on the door? Is it super glue? ”
The police officer hurriedly came to Officer Hu's side, looked at it for a few seconds, and gave an affirmative answer
"Well, it's super glue, but only half of it is coated on the side."
The foreplay was almost done, the facts were in front of me, and I began my reasoning again
"That's right, the murderer used this technique, after he killed someone, he locked the door, used a chainsaw or something, along the crack of the door, cut off 12 screws, then he opened the door from the side of the hinge, and walked out, the door was open inward, and then he applied super glue on the inside half of the door, and then fixed it, so that when we came, the super glue was dry, the door was glued to death, and the door was locked, and we took it for granted that this was a secret room. And when we opened the door with the spare key, we didn't notice anything unusual at all, as there were still half of the screws on the hinge. ”
After listening to my explanation, everyone rushed to the incredible
"Such a whimsical approach?"
"And who is the murderer?"
I don't know the answer to this question yet, but there is another question that bothers me, is it really someone who uses such a whimsical or crude technique? Moreover, why did the murderer accidentally leave the super glue box and half a screw behind?
At this time, Officer Hu's phone rang again, and Officer Hu said a few good words in a row, and said to us after hanging up the phone
"The results of the identification department have come out again, the hair at the scene of the crime has been compared with the members of the previous repertory troupe, and it has been confirmed that it is Wu Tong's hair, and now the secret room method has also been detected, and it can be confirmed that the murderer is Wu Tong, now we will arrest someone."
Hearing this news, Su Yong and the others were very excited
"Solved the case again, it's great."
At this time, Officer Hu said to us
"Okay, detectives, you've worked hard, hurry up and go back to sleep, we'll leave the matter of catching the murderer to us, and we'll contact your school in a few days and give you a reward."
"No... I want to go with you too. ”
Officer Hu looked at me suspiciously, but he didn't have a reason to refuse, just gave me an instruct
"Okay, anyway, you've done a great favor, since you want to go, let's go together, but you must follow us, the other party may be a murderer with two murders, you can't mess around."
"Don't worry, there are so many of you, what else can he do?"
Saying that, our group set off for the hotel, and Officer Hu ordered his subordinates to arrest Wu Tong by phone.
A lot of doubts bothered me along the way, was the murderer really Wu Tong? If you want to complete this technique, it will take at least half an hour, if it weren't for Du Ruo living in such a remote place, it is estimated that he would have been discovered a long time ago, and the front desk said that no man had left the hotel, so how did Wu Tong come out and kill people? Men dressed as women? It's impossible, Wu Tong is so tall, pretending to be a woman is more attention-grabbing. These questions may only be asked if Wu Tong is caught.
At this time, Officer Hu's phone rang again, and after connecting, Officer Hu shouted
"What do you say? Wu Tong committed suicide in fear of sin?! ”
Saying that, Officer Hu quickened his pace, and several of us also trotted behind, and when we entered the hotel immediately, a guy who seemed to be a takeaway from a kebab shop scolded on the phone
"Boss, I called the man just now, I'm here, and he said no, don't you play with people at night? Next time, you have to collect the money first. ”
However, we didn't have time to pay attention to him, a group of people ran in the direction of the hotel, and after coming to Wu Tong's room, several of us were isolated outside the room, and Ma Yingdan, He Huan, Shu Yanan, and Yang Yanyan, who heard the noise, also rushed over.
Shu Yanan asked anxiously
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Wu Tong again? ”
A police officer briefly explained the situation, hearing the news of Wu Tong's death, the members of the repertory troupe seemed to be about to collapse, and the death of friends one after another in the past few days had made them almost crazy.
At this time, Officer Hu walked out with a blue face, and I stepped forward to ask
"How? Could it be another suicide in disguise? ”
Officer Hu shook his head, then took out the note that was in the evidence bag and showed it to me
"Probably not... This is Wu Tong's suicide note, which describes the process of killing Yang Bauhinia and the reason for his suicide. ”
I looked at the text on it, it was written clearly, Wu Tong and Jacaranda were in love, and they were originally going to make it public after the end of this performance, but this matter was known to Yang Zijing, which was also the motive for Yang Zijing to kill Jacaranda, after Jacaranda died, Wu Tong planned to be martyred, but he didn't want Yang Zijing to get away with it, he accidentally heard the conversation between Yang Zijing and Du Ruo, and decided to use this to kill Yang Zijing, now the revenge has been avenged, and he is burdened with a human life, it's time to end his life.
I read this suicide note several times, and once again felt incongruous, and then Shu Yanan on the side said
"It's... It was indeed Wu Tong's handwriting, I really didn't expect that it was he who killed Bauhinia. ”
"Not only Yang Zijing, but also Du Ruo, was also killed by him." Officer Hu said to Shu Yanan.
"What, Du Ruo is also dead?"
Ma Yingdan and others were collectively shocked, especially Shu Yanan, hearing the news of Du Ruo's death, Shu Yanan fainted directly, leaning on Yang Yanyan weakly, judging from her reaction, I felt that Shu Yanan liked Du Ruo before, it should be true.
However, Officer Hu's words made me realize where the incongruity was, and I hurriedly reminded me
"Officer Hu, don't you think it's a little strange that this suicide note doesn't mention Du Ruo at all?"
After being reminded by me, Officer Hu hurriedly picked up the suicide note and read it again, and nodded in surprise
"That's right... It's a bit weird indeed. ”
"However, this is indeed Wu Tong's handwriting, we can all recognize it, his handwriting is very distinctive." Ma Yingdan said
Officer Hu shook his head and said
"Let's leave it to my colleagues in the forensic department to do a handwriting test."
After a busy day, everyone is tired, anyway, now the case seems to have an end, and the rest is the aftermath of the police, at this time it was already 2 o'clock in the morning, thinking that there would be classes tomorrow, a few of us hurried back to the dormitory to sleep.
The next day, Officer Hu called me and said
"After handwriting identification, the suicide note was indeed written by Wu Tong himself, and considering such a lengthy content, the possibility of being imitated is very small, and it can be regarded as Wu Tong's confession."
Although there are still many questions, with the murderer committing suicide in fear of crime, this serial murder case of the repertory troupe seems to have been solved.
Seem...
