Chapter 34: The Inner Ghost

This night, the entire Ping'an Town was filled with a depressed sense of suffocation, and after receiving Zhang Tianyi's call, everyone at the police station got up from the quilt without washing their faces.

Zhang Tianyi stood by the window smoking a cigarette and didn't speak, his expression was cold, Lin Fan's heart was cold, everyone else went out to look for Da Kui, and only the two of them were speechless in the conference room.

Lin Fan didn't know what to say, he hadn't been in contact with Da Kui for a long time, but Zhang Tianyi had worked with them since he graduated, and the frustration in his heart when he saw Sen Zi die in front of him simply tore him apart.

Zhang Tianyi knew that Da Kui must be more than lucky this time, but he didn't dare to think about it, so he could only pray that God would not be stingy with that trace of mercy.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock at the door.

Zhang Tianyi smoked as if he hadn't heard it, Lin Fan sighed and walked over to open the door, and outside the door was the caretaker on duty in the Physical Evidence Department last night.

"Zhang Suo......" the caretaker called.

Zhang Tianyi vigorously extinguished the cigarette butt on the windowsill and asked, "You were on duty last night?" ”

The caretaker nodded, although he didn't know about Da Kui's death, but looking at this situation, he also understood that something big must have happened, so he said: "That's right, I have been staying in the physical evidence department since the shift last night. ”

"Did you find anything suspicious?" Lin Fan followed his words and asked.

The caretaker tilted his head and thought for a moment, then straightened his gaze and said, "No, I didn't find anything unusual last night." ”

Zhang Tianyi stared out the window and didn't know what he was thinking, then walked to the door and said, "Follow me to the Physical Evidence Division." ”

Lin Fan followed behind Zhang Tianyi with the caretaker, Lin Fan didn't know what medicine Zhang Tianyi was selling in his gourd, but looking at his appearance, he seemed to know something.

The trio walked to the end of the hallway and stopped, next to the staircase, where the Forensic Evidence Division was at the corner. It used to be used to store sundries, but because of the reasonable area, it was separated and used as a storehouse for storing physical evidence.

The physical evidence section is full of physical evidence related to the case, some of which have been solved a long time ago, some of which have been filed, and some of which have not been solved, and the physical evidence of each case is coded and classified in a boxy box.

The caretaker opened the door and walked in, and Zhang Tianyi followed and said, "You find out the physical evidence of Wang Fugui's case." ”

The caretaker answered and searched the shelves, and because the physical evidence was sorted and stored, it was easy to find it.

The box was on the top of the shelf, and on the opposite side was a large white sticker with the number "6.18" written on it, and Zhang Tianyi knew that it contained the evidence of Wang Fugui's couple's murder case.

"Turn it on." There was no trace of warmth in Zhang Tianyi's words.

The caretaker blew the ash on it and opened the cardboard box, he wiped his sweat while groping in the cardboard box, the sweat on his forehead became denser and denser, and his heart became more and more worried, he clearly remembered that the last time he went to the scene of the crime, he took Wang Fugui's mobile phone to the physical evidence department for storage, but he rummaged through the entire box and saw no trace of the mobile phone, he couldn't understand why the cardboard box in the physical evidence box was gone!

Zhang ...... Zhang Suo...... "The caretaker didn't dare to breathe, and said: "Wang Fugui's mobile phone is missing......"

Lin Fan could clearly feel the fear in his tone, as the administrator of the Physical Evidence Division, if he lost the physical evidence, this charge was definitely not something he could afford, not to mention that it was still an unsolved tragic death case of a couple.

The loss of Wang Fugui's mobile phone was expected by Zhang Tianyi, he patted the caretaker's shoulder and asked him to cheer up and look for it again, and on the other hand, he beckoned Lin Fan out of the door of the Physical Evidence Department.

Zhang Tianyi's Zhang Yichi's behavior made Lin Fan even more confused, but he didn't ask much, if Zhang Tianyi wanted to say it, he would naturally say it.

The two walked one after the other, Lin Fan couldn't see through Zhang Tianyi's thoughts, he felt that since he received the call from Da Kui when he was killed last night, Zhang Tianyi seemed to have changed as if he had changed.

"Lin Fan." Zhang Tianyi stopped at the door of the conference room and lit a cigarette and screamed.

Lin Fan heard Zhang Tianyi call himself a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Tianyi smoked a cigarette and asked, "What would you do if one day you found out that I had betrayed the morality that a policeman should have and become a ruthless murderer?" ”

Lin Fan was inexplicably asked by Zhang Tianyi's words, but he didn't look like he was joking, so he asked rhetorically: "How come?" No one in the good will choose to kill. ”

"Yes......" Zhang Tianyi's expression was a little decadent, leaning on the doorrail and spitting smoke, and muttered thoughtfully: "How could it be......?" ”

Lin Fan looked at Zhang Tianyi and asked tentatively, "Did you find something?" ”

To Lin Fan's surprise, Zhang Tianyi nodded, then hesitated and said softly: "We have internal ghosts in our office. ”

"Inner ghost?!" After hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but let himself call out.

Zhang Tianyi looked left and right to open the door of the conference room and walked in, Lin Fan followed him knowingly, and after closing the door, there was only the whispering of the two of them inside.

The moon was brighter than ever, and an old woman walked down a narrow path.

The old woman didn't look very old, but she was still hobbling with a club, and she carried a bamboo basket on her arm, which contained white candles and some fruits, and looked like she was going to worship someone.

If Zhang Tianyi was here, he would definitely recognize this old woman as Wang Fugui's old mother, and her purpose this time was obviously to see her dead son.

After Wang Fugui was autopsied, the body was dragged home by his mother, and according to Zhang Tianyi's intention, Wang Fugui was to be cremated, but the old mother had already suffered the pain of burying her son, and she didn't want to let her son die and not get the whole body, so she pulled it home for burial.

Because Wang Fugui died tragically, according to the rules of Sanli Coffin Town, he was not allowed to enter the ancestral grave, so he was buried in the field next to the road into the village.

The old woman was old and couldn't sleep, and every night she would go to Wang Fugui's grave to talk to her son, although the two eyes were blind, it did not affect her movements.

The old woman groped over some thorns and bushes for a while, and when she reached her son's grave, she bent over her waist and took out the tributes in the basket and laid them out, and then sat on the edge of the grave with a white candle and talked to herself about Wang Fugui's childhood.

The fire paper on the ground was rolled up by the wind, and the old woman felt the changes around her, and her face was a little joyful, and she asked into the air, "Rich?" Is it rich? ”

Of course, the air would not answer her words, and the old woman seemed to believe that her son had returned, and stood by the grave with a pestle and said kindly to the wind-blown fire paper: "Rich, don't worry, your mother is very good now, you have to take care of yourself over there, and if you need anything, give your mother a squeak." ”

The old woman slowed down her speech when she said this, picked up the fire paper under her feet with a cane and said: "You are still as stubborn as when you were a child, you don't like to call your mother to report your safety when you are alive, and now you don't know how to give your mother a dream even when you die......"

If the old woman's eyes had not been blind, she would have been able to see the gloom in her eyes at this moment.

At this time, a strange wind inexplicably rolled up at the grave, the white candle was blown down and extinguished, and the ashes of the burning paper floated in the air in a circle. The old woman felt that there was no fear of the changes around her, and approached Wang Fugui's grave step by step, until she disappeared into the inky darkness in the next second......

Mountainside.

Ping'an Town Police Station.

Zhang Tianyi stood next to Lin Fan and looked out the window, he was rubbing a cigarette in his hand, and the tobacco was scattered all over the ground by him.

Lin Fan's expression suddenly froze, he involuntarily licked his chapped lips and said in disbelief: "Why do you want to do this?" How is this possible......"

"I also want to know why ......" Zhang Tianyi's words did not have a trace of emotional fluctuations, but at the same time, only the conjecture in his heart that he knew how afraid he was confirmed.

After coming out of Wang Fugui's rental house before, Zhang Tianyi tried his best to restrain his emotions, the voice-activated lights in the bathroom that had been manipulated, the scene of the crime that was suspicious but deliberately arranged, the surveillance that disappeared when Wang Youcai was killed, a series of evidence confirmed his conjecture, he didn't dare to think about whether Da Kui was alive or dead, and he couldn't accept the true face of the ghost.

Lin Fan still felt incredible, and then asked, "Have you found any evidence?" ”

Zhang Tianyi shook his head and said, "No, but someone has been sent to collect fingerprints, I hope my conjecture is wrong......

Speaking of this, Zhang Tianyi took out a lighter and prepared to light a cigarette, then raised his hand and looked at the tobacco that was foamed by himself, sighed, put the lighter on the windowsill, and said: "It's better not to let Wu Shengnan know about Da Kui's affairs first, and the action will remain the same tomorrow night." ”

Lin Fan nodded to show that he was clear, and then continued: "There is no problem on the Wu reporter's side, but it is not easy for the city bureau to suppress this matter." ”

Of course, Zhang Tianyi understood what Lin Fan meant, the people who died before were ordinary residents, and now there are police officers killed, which is not to say that there is a distinction between high and low lives, but it represents the murderer's provocation to the police and his disregard for the law.

Senzi's death has not been reported to the city bureau, and now Da Kui has encountered an accident again, Zhang Tianyi pressed his hands on the windowsill and said: "Let's talk about it after the search team finds Da Kui......

After finishing speaking, Zhang Tianyi slowly clenched his hands, and his fingernails were red and left a few obvious blood marks, but his complexion remained unchanged.

Lin Fan saw Zhang Tianyi's actions, although he tried his best to show a calm look.

"That's right, Tianyi." Lin Fan looked around and seemed to think of something, and then said: "The code from last time was deciphered......"
