Chapter 5: The Fog

I think no matter how we guess, the current evidence plus all the speculation is meaningless, even if we know how Zhang Xianyu died, but who should we suspect? But this is a necessary process for the case to be decided:

Investigate the scene→ autopsy → determine the cause of death→ grasp the living habits of the deceased→ select the scope of suspects→ verify evidence→ arrest the murderer.

"Liancheng, where is the certificate that the silver gave you?"

"What? Can I help you? Lian Cheng looked at me suspiciously, and he was holding Shen Xiao's autopsy report in his hand.

"Lend me a copy, I'd like to get a file to read."

Lian Cheng put down the autopsy report, not at all interested in what file I was going to retrieve, and took out the certificate with the silver public security seal from the drawer and put it in front of me: "Take it." ”

I picked up the certificate and said "thank you" to Liancheng and left in a hurry, at the moment I was only anxious to know what else had happened in that appliance room.

When I went to the case room where the file was kept, I gave them the proof of the silver and looked at it, and they put me in.

The case room is like a library, with countless bookshelves on which are placed criminal files from all over the years. For this pile of files one by one, it is estimated that I will not necessarily find what I want after three days, but fortunately, there are categories, I only need to rummage through the bookshelves in downtown Hangzhou. But it is not easy to find the file I want, the file in Hangzhou alone is enough for me to look at it for three or four hours, but as long as there is one, I can find it.

Finally, after three hours and twenty-seven minutes, I found the dossier at 5:27 p.m. Excited, I opened the dossier and saw the following written on it:

In the early morning of December 17, 2003, a female corpse with her feet cut off was found while the cleaners of Hangzhou University of Technology were cleaning the appliance room.

After police investigation, it was proved that the deceased: Xu Xianan, gender: female, age: 21, sophomore. Cause of death: Both feet were cut off and bleeding profusely. The deceased was subjected to no less than three people in front of him, but the deceased's body was deliberately washed with a large amount of water, and all the traces of the crime left by the murderer were washed away. The only thing left was the hose used to catch the water, but the killer was wearing gloves and left no traces. Even if there are no traces of destruction at the scene, the police are not sure whether it was left by the murderer. In the end, the case could not be solved, and it became an unsolved case with a history of seven years. Later, it was rumored that there were ghosts in the appliance room, so it was simply abandoned.

There are also several photographs of the scene taken at that time:

It was a girl whose clothes were ripped apart, and the girl's appearance was very beautiful, but the expression on the girl's face was extremely terrifying, her whole face was almost distorted together, her eyes were wide open, and her unwillingness, resentment, and fear covered her whole face. Looking down at the photo, there is a pair of blood-red high heels not far away! And a pair of bloody feet that had been chopped off and thrown aside.

It reminded me of the feet I saw during the day today, and suddenly my whole body froze, and suddenly I felt that the girl's distorted expression in the photo was a bit like a weird smile, and she was looking at me with those resentful eyes, as if she was about to crawl out!

Suddenly, a hand slammed into my shoulder! It was so strong that it felt like it was going to screw my shoulders off!

"Ahh Damn! Ah......h......h

"You're sick! What's the mess called? The force on his shoulder was taken away, and a man stepped forward to pick up the file I had thrown away and put it back in place, and then glared at me angrily, "Hey! You look at it, what to litter? Can you be held accountable for the damage to the file? And when are you going to go? I'm off work! ”

I was so frightened that I lost my souls, and I just looked at the man in front of me who was in a hurry to get off work suspiciously.

"What are you doing! You're not leaving! If you want to check something, just come back tomorrow when you go to work. ”

"Uh-huh." I replied perfunctorily and left the case room with his push and shove.

Out of the case room, I stood on the side of the road for a long time and couldn't move my steps, the case was really complicated, and at this moment our serious crime team had no clue.

The setting sun stretched my shadow for a long time. I looked to the tall buildings to the west, and the sun was faintly between the floors. The sunset in the city is not as hot and red as the sunset in my hometown.

The case needs to be solved little by little, and no hope or suspicion can be missed. This sentence was told to me by Brother Xu.

I looked at the time, it was 5:47 p.m., and the bureau had already closed work. According to the hint that Shiyin left me before leaving, plus the speculation I already had, this case must have been pulled into something unclean. To know how Zhang Xianyao died, it seems that only Zhang Xianyao himself knows best. Gritting my teeth, I took out my phone and dialed the number of Liancheng.

It's a decision that you have to try, no matter how dangerous it is.

"Hey, what's the matter?" The phone was connected, and Liancheng's lazy voice came from there, mixed with the sound of chewing food.

I didn't think that this guy was already eating, and suddenly thought that the day I was left alone in the lunch break, he wouldn't forget me just to go home, right? I coughed dryly twice, straightened my tone, and said, "Liancheng, do you know where Zhang Xianyao is from Jiangsu?" ”

"Huh? What does this do, you ask? Liancheng disagreed, "I said Ziyi, if you are fine, you can handle the case well, is it possible that you still have to visit and investigate?" ”

"yes, how do you know?" Actually, I'm going to visit the ghost, "You know for sure, tell me." ”

I heard the sound of Liancheng putting down his chopsticks on the other side of the phone, and he was silent for a long time before he asked, "Ziyi, did you find something?" If you have a clue, just tell it, Xiao Yi and I won't rob you of the credit. You also see how cruel the murderer is, and I advise you in the name of the deputy team leader that it is better not to act alone. ”

"Uh...... It's nothing, I just want to check if Zhang Xianyao has offended anyone in the place where he lived before, maybe that person is still from his school, but there is a conflict, and the two of them don't seem to know each other in front of others, so we ignored the murderer. ”

"Then you can directly investigate the information of the students in the school, Junziyi, I said what do you want to do or be honest."

As I expected, I couldn't hide it from him, so I had to tell it all honestly: "That Liancheng, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask Zhang Xianyao in person." ”

"......" The terrifying silence over there in Liancheng was heard after a moment with his piercing roar, "What did you say, Junziyi!" You've got your head caught in the door, do you want to die? I've got you covered. ”

"I'm fine." I was also very aggrieved by Liancheng's yelling at me, "It's not a way to put the case on hold like this, and now it's all I can think of, I can't give up hope, and I can't let our serious crime team ...... reputation."

"So you're going to die?" Liancheng's voice was low, hiding endless anger.

"I'm not going to deliver ......"

"Did the team leader tell you to go?"

"It's not."

"Then you don't have to go, I can solve the case, you don't have to rush to die."

"You ......" This guy "dies" on the left and "dies" on the right, as if I really want to die, and he hates it even more than the wooden guy of Silver.

"I'm fine, gentleman's clothes, you wash and sleep, don't get nervous, goodbye."

"Toot toot ......" Before I could retort, there was only a string of busy tones left on the phone.

"Woohoo!" I rubbed my temples in great distress, this damn Murong Liancheng, a perverted forensic doctor, usually looks like a gentleman with a vengeant tongue, look, it's just a woman with a poisonous tongue! No, I can't just give up, I must go and dig out Zhang Xianyao! Murong Liancheng is not the only one in this world who knows where Zhang Xianyao lives. There are always people who know about Zhang Xianyao's classmates, and Shen Xiao should also know that he is the one who examined Zhang Xianyao's body and sent the body to Zhang Xianyao's parents.

"......" I pressed Shen Xiao's phone number.

Shen Xiao is a forensic doctor of the second team of the Criminal Police Brigade, and he has worked with our serious crime team to handle cases many times before, and he has kept each other's numbers in his mobile phones in order to facilitate the contact with us when handling cases. When I thought of Shen Xiao, I realized how stupid I was, I was so idiotic and so desperate to call and ask Liancheng, didn't I know to ask Shen Xiao directly!

"Hello?" It's through, Shen Xiao's impatient voice came, don't be surprised, the people in the criminal police brigade who look down on me are no less than the fans of the "four-leaf clover" that students are chasing now.

"Well, it's Forensic Shen, I have something I want to ask you."

"Hurry up and ask, I'm at the three-way intersection now, and you will be fully responsible for the accident."

"Oh, do you know where Zhang Xianyao's family lives?"

There was silence on the phone for a while, and then Shen Xiao said something that made me vomit blood, and he asked, "What Zhang Xianzhen?" Haven't heard of it. ”

"It's the deceased of Polytechnic University—" I resisted the urge to get over the phone and strangle him.

"Zhang Xianyao, didn't you leave it to you? What's my business. ”

"That's right, the information doesn't detail Zhang Xianyao's address, his parents must have said it when they came to pick him up. There is only one Jiangsu on his death information, and I hope that Forensic Doctor Shen can tell me where in Jiangsu is. ”

"Humph!" Shen Xiao snorted coldly, and his tone was full of sarcasm, "Comrade Jun, I think you are really not suitable to be a criminal policeman, you should simply resign, so as not to embarrass our criminal police." Didn't the autopsy report I showed you clearly say that No. 4, 17th Floor, Unit A, Weiye Community, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, was rented? It seems that Comrade Jun has not read the report yet. ”

"Comrade Jun, you can do it yourself, it's best not to let me grab your pigtails, maybe one day I accidentally leaked my mouth in front of my superiors, but it's not just ten silver that can keep you."

"Hehehehe......" I've been bullied to the top of my head, I'm not a vegetarian, I have the news I want, so naturally I can turn my face, "Forensic Doctor Shen rest assured, I go to the barbershop every month, and I have never tied any braids." ”

The call with Shen Xiao broke up unhappily, neither good nor bad, and no one would be happy to be ridiculed inexplicably, but it was not a loss to receive the news he wanted. But I really didn't expect that I, who was busy looking through the old files, ignored the autopsy report and would be put on the table by that old guy Shen Xiao.
