Chapter 43: A group photo of ghosts

To find out how the murderer committed the murder and how to leave these suspicions, Yun Duruo pinned his hopes on my autopsy of Su Fengmei, the day after returning from the orphanage, I began to do a detailed autopsy of Su Fengmei's body, Yun Duruo wanted to know the results as soon as possible, she changed her clothes and entered the autopsy room with me.

Su Fengmei had no external injuries, the corpse spots were normal, and the direct cause of death was instant death caused by the broken cervical vertebrae, and the time of death I have repeatedly confirmed, and the results of Chu Tianqi's preliminary autopsy are consistent, it is indeed between twelve o'clock in the evening and one o'clock in the morning.

At this time, the iron door outside had been closed, and from the on-site investigation report provided by Ling Guodong, the only two exits that could leave the room were the iron door and the other was the window on the second floor, and there was no trace of anyone leaving these two places.

Outside, the lightning and thunder and rain are getting stronger and stronger, and the wind and rain are blowing on the windows to make people disheartened, I walked to the window to take a breath, and just took out the smoke and clouds Du Ruo walked over.

"When we arrived at the orphanage, the iron gate was still closed, and the murderer could not have disappeared quietly like this, there must be something we ignored."

"I can't find any other clues from Su Fengmei's corpse." I sighed and replied with some weakness.

The window of the autopsy room is directly opposite the office building of the bureau, the light in the butcher's office is still on, and he has not gone back at this point, and the recent murders that have been appearing have been linked in the middle, but they can't be connected together, and the motive of the murderer has not been found until now.

I think Yun Duruo is under more pressure, but the pressure on the butcher is probably not what we can imagine, I lit the cigarette and looked from a distance, the butcher walked back and forth with his hands behind his back under the light, presumably he was also anxious and irritable.

"How long is the deadline given to you by the butcher?" I took a deep puff of cigarette and asked Yun Duruo next to me.

"He hasn't given me a deadline lately." Yun Duruo pursed her lips and looked at the rainy night outside in silence. "I heard that the above talked to him, Jiang Ju took the responsibility on himself, and he also knew that the successive murders were tricky, and every time he reported the progress to him, he only said a word to hurry up, and didn't say anything else."

The butcher didn't want to put too much pressure on Yun Duruo, with my understanding of Yun Duruo, whether anyone put pressure on her or not and the result was the same, Yun Duruo was originally the kind of person who went all out to solve the case, but the case he encountered this time was really a bit incredible.

In the room of the opposite building, the butcher closed the curtains and turned off the lights after looking at the time, it seemed that he had something to leave, the room opposite was pitch black, I just wanted to throw away the cigarette butt in my hand, and suddenly a lightning bolt pierced the sky and illuminated the office building opposite.

My hand throwing the cigarette butt stopped outside the window, and I looked at the building opposite for a long time with a frown.

"What's wrong?" Yun Duruo saw that my expression suddenly changed into confusion, and asked curiously.

Yun Duruo asked Geng Lin to learn about the situation on the night of Su Fengmei's death, I remember that Geng Lin told us one thing, that night was also a rainy night with thunder and lightning, Geng Lin said that there was lightning when she came back from the rounds, and she saw three figures showing three figures from the curtains of Su Fengmei's room.

"I also thought about this incident she reflected later, but I didn't figure it out." Yun Duruo looked at me and asked cautiously. "What? Questions? ”

Geng Lin later said that she was curious and wanted to go over to look, and when the second lightning appeared, the figure behind the curtain turned into a figure again. I threw away the cigarette butt in my hand and looked back at Yun Duruo. "She originally wanted to go and see if there was anything abnormal, but she found that the iron door was closed, and she thought that there was only Su Fengmei in the room."

“…… You shouldn't be suspicious of Geng Lin, I have investigated this person, her background is very clean, and she has no intersection with Su Fengmei and Mu Hanzhi. Yun Duruo said to me solemnly with his hands folded. And I've been paying attention to her expression, her panic and grief over Su Fengmei's death are all from the bottom of her heart, and the most important thing is that Geng Lin has the strength to break Su Fengmei's cervical vertebrae? ”

"You don't understand what I mean."

I shook my head and walked back and forth in the dissection room for a few steps, Chu Tianqi was still quietly and seriously piecing together the nameless female corpse, and I also agreed with Yun Duruo's words.

"Su Fengmei's cervical vertebra fracture surface is very clean, it can be seen that it was directly broken by someone, which requires great strength, Geng Lin should not be able to do it, even if she does, recovery is the key, to restore the broken cervical vertebrae, it is necessary to achieve the slightest overlap of the two sections in order to maintain Su Fengmei's posture of sitting, Geng Lin does not have these professional skills."

"Don't worry about Geng Lin's first two lightning bolts, what she saw." I cocked up my finger and said to the two of them. "The key lies in Geng Lin's last sentence."

"The last sentence?" Yun Duruo thought about it for a while and said puzzled. "The last thing Geng Lin said was that she saw the iron door closed and thought it was fine, and then saw the light in Su Fengmei's room turn on, and Su Fengmei appeared in front of the window at that time."

"The lights are on! In other words, there was no light in the room before. I took Yun Duruo and Chu Tianqi back to the window and pointed to the building opposite for them to take a closer look.

The two of them didn't understand what I meant, and looked blankly at each other, and soon another lightning bolt lit up the night sky, and the wall of the office building opposite was clearly illuminated by the fleeting light.

Yun Duruo's eyes immediately widened and he said loudly in shock.

"The lights are turned off in the room, and even if there is lightning, you can only see the outside of the room, and the figures in the room will not appear on the curtains."

"Could it be...... Is Geng Lin lying? Chu Tianqi also said with some surprise.

"No!" I took a few steps back and forth and shook my head faintly. "Geng Lin didn't need to say this, she probably saw something at the time, but she just mistakenly thought it was the reflection of lightning."

"But the lights in the room are off." Yun Duruo asked suspiciously.

"I can see the figure on the curtain of the room at night, there is only one possibility, the light source is coming from the room, and Geng Lin did not turn on the light in the room when she saw the figure." I thought about it thoughtfully and replied with certainty. "At that time, someone created a light source in the room, and according to Geng Lin's recollection, the figure appeared twice in total, which shows that the light source is not only short-lived but very strong."

"Flash!" Yun Duruo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly. "Someone was taking pictures in the room, because the light was too late, so they used a flash, and in the dark room on a rainy night, someone was taking pictures, and Geng Lin, who was outside the house, happened to see it, and she mistook it for lightning."

Chu Tianqi and I both agreed with Yun Duruo's statement, but we didn't understand why the murderer had already killed Su Fengmei at that time, why did he stay in her room, and what was the purpose of taking pictures?

Yun Duruo walked back to the dissecting table, pointed to Su Fengmei's corpse and asked me, why I haven't cut the suture of her mouth yet, Su Fengmei's mouth is sutured by a method called simple intermittent suture, which is mostly used in surgery for the suturing of the skin subcutaneous tissue muscle aponeurosis, and the specific purpose of this suture is to tie the knot separately with each stitch.

If you simply want to stitch Su Fengmei's mouth, there is no need to use such a stitching method, which also reflects the character characteristics of the murderer from the side, very careful and patient.

"The murderer sewed Su Fengmei's mouth, it should be sending a message." I picked up the scissors and said to Yun Duruo. "Shut up Su Fengmei."

"The same motive for Liu Yuewu to be killed, it is to kill people and kill people, so it can be seen that Su Fengmei and Liu Yuewu both know things that they shouldn't know." Yun Duruo pursed his lips in confusion and muttered to himself. "But why are these two people going to be killed now after twenty years of being safe?"

I asked Chu Tianqi to put down the patchwork of the nameless female corpse in his hand and come over to help, he tensed Su Fengmei's lips, I carefully untied the sutures with a scalpel, and when the last knot was cut, Chu Tianqi let go of his hand, and Su Fengmei's head that could not be fixed was tilted to the side.

Jingling!

A familiar voice sounded in the dissection room, something fell out of Su Fengmei's mouth and rolled on the ground, my heart lifted, Chu Tianqi hurriedly chased after it, and when he picked it up in the corner of the wall and took it back, it was a glass bead in the palm of his hand.

The atmosphere in the room began to become strange, maybe for others, it was a glass bead, but I knew very well what this marble meant, and Yun Duruo also knew the origin of this marble, which seemed to symbolize something.

"There's something in your mouth!" Yun Duruo's attention returned to Su Fengmei's corpse.

Under the shadowless lamp, I saw that Su Fengmei really had something stuffed in her mouth, and I carefully pinched it out with tweezers.

Look at the back is the photo paper.

I suddenly remembered that the murderer had taken a portrait in Su Fengmei's room, Yun Duruo took the photo and reversed it, Yun Duruo and I only looked at it, and then our faces were pale and stunned, and our mouths were open in horror.

The background shows that the photo was taken in Su Fengmei's room, and the clothes Su Fengmei was wearing in the photo were the same as the one she wore when she died, but she was not the only one in the photo.

Su Fengmei sat in the middle with her eyes closed, next to her was a woman in red with long hair, sitting next to Su Fengmei with an expressionless face, and on the other side was a child in white clothes and black pants, he was too short to sit on a chair, his legs still hanging in the air.

The woman and the child have blank eyes, and the three people are placed there like corpses, and the picture is chilling to look at against the dimly lit background.

The murderer who killed Su Fengmei did not leave the slightest clue, and he didn't even know how he entered Su Fengmei's room, nor did he know how he left after the murder, like a ghost......

Maybe!

I looked at the photo, and when I looked at Yun Duruo, I found that there was something wrong with her eyes, and she should be thinking about the same thing.

The killer cannot disappear into thin air.

But ghosts can!

I don't want to admit this point of view, but the photo in my hand seems to have hinted at this result, the woman in red and the child were in the room on the night of Su Fengmei's death, my hands hung down weakly, I didn't know how to face this case again, and the photo fell to the ground. |.

Chu Tianqi saw that Yun Duruo and I were standing in place in a daze, not knowing what was going on, so he picked up the photo from the ground and sent it back.

"What's wrong with you?"

......I didn't know how to answer him, and put the picture in a sealed bag, maybe the butcher should look at the stuff, but I was shocked again when I reversed the sealed picture.

The photo is the same as before, and the background and furnishings on it have not changed.

But......

In the photo, only Su Fengmei was left sitting with her eyes closed, and there were only two empty chairs on either side of her.
