Dead Song (11)
"She hated the doll, but ...... What's wrong with that? Miss Tan Zhi, I said a long time ago that Qin Qin could not be a murderer. ”
"Aze, you may have said this conclusion too early. I think Qin Qin is more powerful than what we see. If she hated dolls, they were supposed to be dusty, but they were clean. Only the two of us know about the tape recorder in this doll, but there is nothing else in it except Qin Qin's 'I'm sorry'. It is impossible for a person not to make a sound, unless she is a corpse. And there is nothing on this tape that we want to investigate. There are only two possibilities: one is that Qin Qin knew in advance that there was a bug in the doll. There is also a possibility that Qin Qin was being watched and could not spit out the truth. Two conclusions can be drawn from the above two points: the first is that Qin Qin is pretending to be sick, and the second is that someone is secretly controlling Qin Qin. Tan Zhi still remembered the first time she went to see Qin Qin, the middle-aged male doctor coughed from time to time, and this situation would only come out when they were close to Qin Qin.
"Could it be him?!"
The face of the male doctor flashed in Aze's mind.
Unfortunately, when the two of them rushed to the Liao Nursing Home, the male doctor died. The police autopsy report stated that the cause of death was an overdose of sleeping pills.
Looking at the cold corpse of the male doctor, Tan Zhi suddenly felt so tired. It was as if she saw a glimmer of light in the darkness, and when she didn't have time to get closer, the glimmer of light went out.
With the help of the nurses in the Liao Nursing Home, Team Ze and Tan Zhi came to the residence of the male doctor before his death.
It can be seen that the doctor is a clean-loving person, and the house is very clean. He was supposed to be a very book-loving person, and the room was full of books except for a bed and basic household utensils.
Tan Zhi stepped into the room and felt a sense of déjà vu.
Right! Women's No. 5 Middle School Music Reserve Room!!
Aside from the bed, it's almost identical to the music storage room!!
"Miss Tan Zhi, come and see this."
Tan Zhi looked at the bed that Aze pointed to and frowned.
It is common sense that people who take sleeping pills will lie down and wait for death after taking the pills. But this bed is a little too tidy, as if it has been politely tied.
It appears that someone has entered the room since the incident.
But who has such a great ability to do things under the noses of the police?
"The doctor is not suicidal." Aze concluded.
Regarding this Aze's words, Tan Zhi nodded in agreement.
Looks like I'll have to go to the police station again.
"This is the diary we found in the deceased's room. If there is any other need, we will fully cooperate. ”
Tan Zhi took the diary handed over by the police.
Most of the records are personal opinions about human psychology, and some symbols are drawn that are incomprehensible. The most unexpected thing is that the names of Deng Xin and Fan Tiantian are actually mentioned in the diary. What's even more unexpected is that the male doctor actually had sex with Fan Tiantian and Deng Xin successively! The diary also mentioned that after Fan Tiantian's death, Deng Xin actually came to him in the middle of the night and said that Fan Tiantian was entangled with a classmate.
What surprised Tan Zhi was that the second half of the diary was full of records of Qin Qin's illness.
Strangely, the notes were not followed up yesterday. It must have been the day the doctor died. It didn't seem too bad, but a closer look at the notebook revealed that there were tiny scraps of paper left in the cracks.
"Looks like someone is one step ahead of us, and the part we want to know the most has been torn away." Tan Zhi stroked the blank notebook with her hand. I am very satisfied with the slight touch under my hands. "Aze, can you go to the printer and get some toner for me?"
Although Aze didn't understand Tan Zhi's intentions, he quickly brought the toner.
I saw Tan Zhi sprinkle toner on the blank paper on the next page of the torn off note, and gently smeared it with his hands.
Gradually, the original white paper was smeared black, and the white font was revealed.
Aze had to admire Tan Zhi as a woman.
When ordinary people write, they will be printed on the next page because of the relationship between strength. Although the contents of the front page are torn off, as long as you use black fine powder to wipe the paper, the content of the front page will naturally be revealed.
Tan Zhi's brows tightened even deeper when she saw the doctor's handwriting on the paper.
(Qin Qin.) Behind. )
It's related to Qin Qin again.
But Tan Zhi faintly felt that Fan Tiantian in the doctor's diary had some kind of connection with Qin Qin. Maybe that Fan Tiantian is the key to solving all the puzzles. Now that she's dead, the only thing left to do is to find out something useful from her family.
It's been a long time since I've been to the northern suburbs of the city. The reason why Aze didn't want to come to this place was because he didn't want the scenery to evoke painful memories in his heart.
Five years ago, he lived here with his only relative----- sister Jiang Yuanmei.
Before the murder of the fifth middle school happened, my sister seemed to have a lot on her mind. It has always been said that the No. 5 Middle School Women's Choir is going to participate in the competition. She seemed to know the relationship between the etude and the Lyrics Commentary. One day, while eating, my sister accidentally talked about the choir members jumping off the building, and my sister said in an affirmative tone, "That's not an accident, that's just the beginning." Aze kept asking, but my sister didn't mention the matter of No. 5 Middle School again. It feels like there's a powerful force preventing my sister from telling the truth. My sister received a call from a student at the school one night saying that a student had disappeared in the toilet. Aze remembered that her sister came back very late, and after she came back, she sat on the sofa alone and smoked. She rarely smokes because she cherishes her voice and cares about her image in front of her students. Since that time, my sister has often been woken up by nightmares, and Sister Ze is very worried about her like this, and has tried many times to get her to talk about her fears, but she never mentions the school. Then one night, my sister took the initiative to talk about the members of the choir. What Aze remembers most clearly was a girl named Ruan Qinqin.
Because my sister said that the girl's voice was very similar to her, not only that, Ruan Qinqin could also learn all kinds of sounds. At first, he always thought that his sister was busy dealing with the school's singing competition, so he temporarily lived in the school's teacher's dormitory, until he received a call from No. 5 Middle School, he found out that his sister was missing.
He was in charge of investigating the women's May Fourth case at that time, and the reason why he would be transferred to other groups in the end should be partly because his superiors considered his relationship with Jiang Yuanmei.
Tan Zhi checked the address in his hand and scanned the surroundings again.
"Aze, thank you so much for helping you get the address, if it weren't for you, I really don't know how much time it would take."
In fact, her partnership with Aze and is just a partner of the film crew. Now the show has been suspended. But Aze still worked tirelessly with her to investigate the case. She was grateful to him from the bottom of her heart. She also knew that Aze must have something else to tell her, and she understood. Because everyone has a secret in their heart.
When he came downstairs to Li's house, he was stopped by a security guard and asked him to show the relevant documents. Tan Zhi asked about Fan Tiantian by the way, and the security guard looked at her defensively, and she couldn't ask any more. Instead, the old man who was sitting next to him and watching a few elderly people play long cards turned around and looked at them a few times.
"It's been five or six years since people died, and there are still people who ask about the girl." The sound of the old man talking made Aze extremely uncomfortable to listen to, and it felt like a mouth stuck in his throat.
The old man lifted his reading glasses and walked over to him. stared at Tan Zhi up and down again. When Aze was about to ask him out loud, 'What do you want to do?', the old man spoke: "Look at your appearance, you don't look like Fan Tiantian's classmate?" ”
!!!
Tan Zhi had a flash of inspiration, and his eyes couldn't help but be excited. "Old man, you said Fan Tiantian's classmate...... Been here? ”
"yes."
"So, what's that classmate's name? What does it look like? ”
"I don't know what it's called, but it looks good, it's white and pure. She had been looking for Fan Tiantian five years ago. At that time, I was still looking at houses in Nancheng District, and the Li family lived in the community I was looking at. The girl came to find Fan Tiantian, and after we told her about Fan Tiantian's suicide by jumping off the building, she left without saying anything. We moved here because it was going to be converted into a grand theater. The girl would occasionally be in the building. ”
A few old people watching the cards next to him also talked.
"That girl looks gloomy, she never says hello when she meets us, and once scared my grandson into tears, and keeps shouting that there is someone on my sister's back, and there is someone on her back."
"What are you talking nonsense, old woman, you can come and talk about fasting in broad daylight."
Everyone laughed.
The old man was obviously a little angry, and his voice was amplified. "If it weren't for being haunted by Fan Tiantian's ghost, the girl and the Li family were not related, and Fan Tiantian had been dead for five or six years, so why did she come here every year in the seventh and half months of the lunar calendar?"
"Alas, well, well, you're right, play your cards quickly."
The old men didn't pay attention to Tan Zhi and Aze anymore, and went to play long cards by themselves.
Tan Zhi and Aze had a busy day, in addition to hearing that Fan Tiantian's father was doing a small business in other places and rarely came home, they also found out that since Fan Tiantian's death, her father had married a wife and gave birth to a boy for him. But every time in the middle of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, there is a girl standing at the door of their Li family.
Tomorrow is the 15th day of the 7th lunar month, and Tan Zhi and Aze decided to wait here for that Fan Tiantian's classmate to appear.
Until 9 o'clock in the evening, no one appeared at the door of Li's house. Tan Zhi smiled and asked Aze if there was a place to eat nearby. If you keep it like this, you'll have two more evil ghosts.
What Aze appreciates is Tan Zhi's personality that can be easily seen in everything.
The two went to the restaurant across the road from the residential building.
Aze took the menu, and Tan Zhi took the "Lyrics Annotation" and looked through it carefully.
The little girl who poured the water came over with a smile and two cups of steaming tea. Coincidentally, Aze, who stood up after ordering the meal and was about to go to the bathroom, happened to bump into the little sister. The two cups of tea in her hands spilled straight on Tan Zhi. Of course, the "Lyrics Annotation" in her hand was not spared.
Tan Zhi hurriedly picked up the book and wiped the water traces on it with a tissue, and waved his hand to the innocent little sister next to her. "It's okay, you go get busy." But I sighed in my heart.
It seems that the cover of this book is not saved.
At this time, Tan Zhi accidentally found that the cover of "Lyrics Annotation" that was wet with water was rolled up, revealing another part of black that he had never seen before. It felt like the wet part on the outside was just the protective mask it was wearing.
Tan Zhi was a little excited. Slowly, gently, she tore off the white cover on the outside. There is the author, the name of the publishing house, and the publication number; It seems that someone deliberately created a false image. To her surprise, in the lower corner of the black cover of the book, there was a row of tiny handwriting. It's written in a black pen, and you can't see it at all if you don't look closely.
It reads: "The murderer, all the time behind my back. "The signature is actually Deng Xin!
When Aze came back after washing his hands, Tan Zhi hurriedly dragged him to the film crew's office to retrieve the video and audio files before the tragedy of the fifth middle school of the year.
When the picture was played to the group photo of all the members of the choir, Tan Zhi stopped the picture.
"Sure enough, it's you. I'll see how long you can escape. ”
"Miss Tan Zhi, is there anything wrong with this photo?" Aze didn't understand why Tan Zhi suddenly said this.
Tan Zhi told Aze about discovering Deng Xin's message in "Lyrics Annotation". Then he said, "This is where the choir members stood during rehearsals." The person behind Deng Xin is Ruan Qinqin! ”
"By the way, my sister said before that Qin Qin can imitate all kinds of sounds, and if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to tell the difference."
"Then the voices we hear can be explained reasonably."
"Miss Tan Zhi, what are we going to do now?"
"Go to the Liao Nursing Home."
Just as Tan Zhi thought, Qin Qin was not in the Liao Nursing Home at all!
When she and Aze rushed to the downstairs of the Li family's residence, they happened to see Qin Qin sitting in a taxi. Aze and Tan Zhi secretly followed behind Qin Qin's taxi.
The strange thing is that Qin Qin did not go back to the Liao Nursing Home directly, but let the car drive straight outside the city.
They all knew that it was the way to the fifth middle school of women.
Qin Qin got out of the car and entered the teaching building. Tan Zhi suspected that Qin Qin had sensed that someone was following her, so she decided to act separately from Aze.
Tan Zhi continued to follow Qin Qin, and Aze Zeyu lived at the fire escape entrance of the teaching building, for fear that Qin Qin would take the opportunity to escape from the passageway.
I saw Qin Qin stop when he walked to the front of the music classroom. Push the door in, and the next second the light inside comes on. Qin Qin took out a cassette tape from his arms and put it into the player on the lectern.
The singing echoed in the classrooms, in the schoolyard. That's what the choir used to practice.
Tan Zhi cried when she saw Qin Qin standing in front of the piano fixedly. The cry sounded horrible and creepy on a night like this.
It turned out that the driver who drove by here at night said that he heard many people singing in the middle of the night, and the crying of the female ghost, all of which were made by Qin Qin.
But why did she do it? What did she want to do standing in front of that piano?
The lights in the music room suddenly went out.
Tan Zhi hurriedly shrank his body into an invisible corner.
It seems that Qin Qin didn't notice her. Just when Tan Zhi was greatly relieved, Qin Qin looked back at the window fiercely. Tan Zhi also saw her pale face full of hideousness at this moment. It's like the Qin Qin I saw in the Liao Nursing Home before! Tan Zhi was so nervous that she even forgot to breathe.
Qin Qin slowly ...... again Slowly turn your head away.
I saw Qin Qin's hand pressed under the piano stand, and the wall made a sound similar to the cracking of bricks and tiles, and then an entrance the size of a classroom door appeared, and it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.
Tan Zhi didn't dare to follow rashly, so Yu had to wait at the door.
The lights on the aisle are not turned on, but fortunately tonight is the 14th day of the lunar calendar. No, it's past twelve o'clock in the night, fifteen to be precise.
The moon is very round and very bright. Tan Zhi could clearly see the number of the classroom next to the music classroom by the moonlight, and he could also see his long shadow cast on the ground.
Shadow?
!!!
Only then did Tan Zhi realize that there was an extra shadow behind herself!
She jerked around and saw Aze standing behind her. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then her heart lifted again. Isn't Aze guarding the fire escape? Why is it here? When did he come? She didn't even notice it!
"Aze, aren't you at the fire exit?"
"I waited there for a long time and there was no one, so I came here for fear that you would be in danger." Aze looked at the music room and asked, "What about people?" ”
Tan Zhi motioned with his eyes to show him the dark entrance on the wall next to the piano.
"Do you want to call the police?" Aze didn't know what was going on inside. Tan Zhi shook his head and signaled, wait and talk about it.
The wait is an hour or two.
Qin Qin came out of it when it was almost dawn, and Tan Zhi and Aze waited until she got into the taxi before rushing out of the corner.
"Aze, you call the police now to go to the Liao Nursing Home to keep an eye on Ruan Qinqin, and let's go down and have a look." After Tan Zhi finished speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction of the piano. The cat's body looked for the switch at the bottom of the piano, but accidentally found a few blood-black handwriting on the bottom of the piano.
She's back.
Tan Zhi recognized this handwriting, it was Qin Qin's. Then she used to talk crazy and said that the blood-red handwriting she saw under the piano stand was actually made up by herself.
The door to the chamber was opened, and the stench of damp mildew came over my face. Tan Zhi couldn't help but cover his nose with his hands, and Aze was no better.
The two walked in step by step by the faint light of their mobile phones.
This secret room looked a little old, like the darkrooms used for refugees during the war years, and there was nothing painted on the walls, revealing rows of green bricks.
"Miss Tan Zhi, there are actually preservatives here. Qin Qin wouldn't hide all the dead in here......" Before Aze finished speaking, his foot was tripped by an object and fell straight to the ground.
The bright light of the mobile phone screen illuminates a withered, distorted face. Aze reflexively swung his fist in fear, and the terrifying face cracked.
It turned out to be really a dried corpse.
Tan Zhi took a photo with his mobile phone, but found that there was a large black oilcloth behind Aze. It's bumpy and bumpy, and there seems to be something behind it. She walked over and pulled the tarpaulin off with all her might. Something imprinted into her eye frame made her stomach churn.
It's a corpse!
Rows of corpses.
Although the corpses had long since decomposed, judging from the uniforms and student badges on the corpses, they were all students of the Women's No. 5 Middle School. Next to the students was a corpse in a knee-length black dress. When Aze saw the corpse, tears accidentally slipped out of his eyes.
He recognized her, and she was none other than his sister Jiang Yuanmei, whom he had been looking for for five years.
Tan Zhi found that on the wall facing each corpse were red letters, like blood. Those are the names that correspond to the corpses. What puzzled her was that there was still a vacant space next to Jiang Yuanmei's corpse, and the blood-red words on the corresponding wall only had the word '' written on it.
Qin Qin sat quietly on the chair, and she saw the prison commander come in with Tan Zhi and Zai Aze. She had known that this day would come sooner or later, but it was okay that she wouldn't have to live that muddy day again.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Tan Zhi couldn't help but speak. Facing this beautiful and quiet girl in front of her, it is really hard to believe that she will be the murderer of many tragedies.
Qin Qin still didn't move, just looked at Aze behind Tan Zhi fixedly. Her eyes gave Aze the illusion that someone was standing behind him at the moment.
"You and Deng Xin and Han Qing are all friends. Why kill them? When Aze faced Qin Qin, in addition to hating her for killing his only sister, he was more puzzled. He really couldn't imagine how she did it, when she was only in her teens.
Qin Qin smiled. The voice was so faint that it didn't seem to come from this world at all.
"Deng Xin, she should be damned. Because she robbed my friend's boyfriend. My friend was pregnant with that person's child, and if it weren't for Deng Xin, my friend would not have been abandoned, beaten by his father, and would not have jumped off the building. That's why I put medicine in the water she drinks every day to weaken her and make her faint. I lied to her and told her that the man was looking for her, and she thought it was real and ran to the rooftop to wait. Hey~~~ That's what she deserves. Qin Qin's eyes were always staring at Aze's back, and the expression on his face was indescribably weird.
"That man is the male doctor in the Liao nursing home?"
"Yes, he used to be from the Fifth Medical Affairs Office."
"What about Han Qing?"
"It's too much to blame her. I pretended to faint and was taken to the infirmary, and took advantage of everyone's absence to lead Deng Xin to the roof of the dormitory. When Han Qing ran up, he picked up the electronic luminous pen that I accidentally dropped on the ground, and deliberately asked me out to ask me out at night after everyone had slept. I didn't want to kill her, but I had to die if she didn't, so I followed her to the toilet and strangled her neck with a glue hose. Hee~~~~~~ you don't know, her voice is so painful. Then I dragged her body to the secret room of the music classroom. After dealing with the scene, I called the music teacher Jiang Yuanmei and told her that there was an accident at the school, so come and deal with it quickly. When Jiang Yuanmei came, I fainted on the ground, she called a classmate to take me to the infirmary, and I took the opportunity to pretend to be crazy and say out loud that I saw Han Qing being strangled. Hee~~~~~~ at that time, all those classmates were so frightened that their faces turned pale. ”
