30. Cause of death
The memories that followed were some fragmentary pictures and fears, and even misplaced and overlapping memories, which caused me to be unable to recall what happened at that time after so many years.
Now that Fu Shaolou brought up this old incident again, my memory returned to that time for a while, but I couldn't remember anything, and even what Fu Shaolou said never knew, so I just said to Fu Shaolou: "I don't know any of this." ”
Fu Shaolou said: "After receiving your mother's report, the police immediately set up a special team to rescue, after arriving at the designated place, but did not find the robber and your traces, but found evidence of your stay in the abandoned industrial building, after which the police expanded the search area, but still found nothing, and finally you returned home by yourself, but you came home and opened the door and saw your mother hanged in the living room, it may be that excessive fright caused you to faint, when you woke up you completely forgot about these things, Since then, the doctor's evaluation has also determined that it is the overstimulation that causes you to selectively forget. ”
Fu Shaolou looked at me after speaking, and I listened to him talk about my experience when I was five years old, but all I could recall in my mind was that scene, and the words that only my mother and I repeatedly said - Yangyang, run, run into the woods.
I remember my mother's face at that time, that face mixed with dirt, sweat, fear and perseverance and fatigue, which is the last memory I remember of my mother.
And when I was told about my painful past, I was surprisingly calm, and I said, "I don't remember any of that." ”
Fu Shaolou said: "It's just that the two prisoners who escaped from prison have completely disappeared since then and have never been found, and the information from the prison shows that they are related to an intentional homicide case, and they were sentenced to imprisonment because they were only accomplices, and the coincidence is that the person who was killed in the intentional homicide case they participated in back then was the person you and He Yuan brought back from the funeral home, that is to say, what you brought back was a person who had been killed for almost 20 years!" ”
Finally, after saying so much, Fu Shaolou said the final point, so soon the clues have been connected, and the occurrence of each case seems to be composed of coincidences, but when such coincidences are connected together, it makes people feel that this is not like a coincidence, but there are deliberate traces.
And Fu Shaolou didn't finish speaking, he said: "And what is even more coincidental is that the prison where these two prisoners were held at that time was the prison where Cui Yunbian was located." ”
Another coincidence!
I felt as if there was a thread that strung everything together, but I couldn't find where the thread was, so I followed Fu Shaolou's train of thought and said, "Since this person is the victim of Dan Nian, why does he appear again now, and he also wants to see me by name?" If he hadn't died, who was the one who was killed, and why did he kill him? ”
Fu Shaolou said: "So this is the key to the whole case, He Yang, the reason why I just mentioned your past is because I hope you can come out of the grief and shadow of the past, and we need you now, you are now the only clue and the only target of the entire serial case." ”
I listened to Fu Shaolou say this, took a deep breath and said, "I know, I know what to do." ”
Fu Shaolou said: "You go back and think about it, because of the investigation in this direction, I want you and He Yuan to carry it out, but I still need to study the file carefully, so what needs to be done recently, He Yuan will tell you." ”
I said, "I see." ”
I only felt that my heart was very calm, but there were turbulent waves, so much so that when He Yuan saw me, he also felt my strangeness, and he asked me: "What's wrong with you, did the Fu team criticize you because of Qu Chenglian?" ”
I shook my head and said, "No, it's because I remember some bad experiences." ”
He Yuan glanced at me, but this glance contained a lot of information, but he didn't say anything, just patted me on the shoulder.
He Yuan told me that the task temporarily assigned to us by the ambush team was to investigate the cause of Qu Chenglian's death, that is to say, through this incident, the clues of Qu Chenglian, which was originally in charge of other teams, were completely handed over to us.
It wasn't until the transfer of the materials that I learned that it was Zuo You and Jiang Yang who were in charge of Qu Chenglian's case tracking before, and Zuo You gave us all the files and clues that had been made, and He Yuan and I first read these files and clues, and it wasn't until I saw these that I didn't know all the clues about Qu Chenglian's involvement.
In addition to what I know, I only knew that Qu Chenglian had disappeared for half an hour on the night Zong Mingyan disappeared, that is, before he woke up and said that he wanted to see me, and no one knew where he went during this half hour, and when Zong Mingyan arrived, it was already after that, and he had already woken up at that time.
And the reason why the police officer on duty didn't notice it was because a certain dose of drug was put into the water he drank, and the amount was very well controlled, so that he didn't know it but could be unconscious, although he didn't find out who did it, but it was suspected that it was someone in the hospital.
So where Qu Chenglian went in the half hour he disappeared became the key. And Zuo You and Jiang Yang's report here is different from our speculation and even cognition, they speculate that it was because Qu Chenglian disappeared for half an hour, what news did Zong Mingyan get, it may have been sent by Qu Chenglian, or it may have been given by a third party, so he came to see Qu Chenglian, what information did he get from Qu Chenglian, so it caused his disappearance later, but there is one thing in it that is consistent with our cognition, that is, Zong Mingyan left Qu Chenglian a hint of his whereabouts.
Seeing this, I felt a little panicked, I thought Qu Chenglian was thinking of me for help, but after reading the file, I found that every time I went to see him or even talk to him, he seemed to have expected it and calculated it, which is what makes me afraid, people's hearts have always been so unfathomable.
There are some other things involved in the file, but there is no clue about Qu Chenglian who has always said that he thinks there is someone at the door, and there is no record, when I mentioned this with He Yuan, He Yuan said that they should not have noticed this clue, after all, Qu Chenglian would not tell them this.
As for Qu Chenglian's death, it only records the time and cause of his death, which is similar to our cognition, and it also does not record what happened to me and He Yuan there that night, as for whether it was deliberately not recorded or I didn't know, I don't know.
So after reading these records and clues, I discussed with He Yuan to ask the forensic doctor to do another autopsy, and I felt that Qu Chenglian did not commit suicide.
His body was placed in the hospital morgue, so we asked Wu Jing to do a preliminary autopsy, after all, He Yuan and I both speculated that Qu Chenglian should have died when he hung himself behind the door, so how did he die and when did he die?
After a preliminary examination of the wound, Wu Jing said: "The strangulation on the neck is indeed the only cause of death, of course, this is only judged from the appearance of the examination, and it depends on whether the organs are damaged after the dissection." The autopsy needs to be approved by Fu Shaolou, which must be requested and given written instructions. ”
I asked Wu Jing if there were any traces of strangulation twice, and Wu Jing said that he couldn't see it, if it was according to my thinking, then there was only one explanation, that is, Qu Chenglian was strangled to death and then hung behind the door, so there would be no traces of strangulation twice, so the only possibility was in the room, but I always felt that something was wrong.
I asked, "What if it wasn't strangled at all?" ”
Wu Jing was a little surprised, he looked at He Yuan, I could roughly see from his eyes that he was talking to He Yuan about how could there be such a police officer who had such a way of thinking, but He Yuan did not respond to him, I said: "If I am the murderer, I want to kill Qu Chenglian, then what motive will I have, and what kind of methods will I adopt to keep my mouth clean and not arouse suspicion?" ”
