Chapter Twenty-Three: The Lost Diary
After Zhang Xiulan took Nie Bingwan's body, I hurried back to the office and hurriedly searched through the mountains of files.
"What are you looking for?" Yun Duruo looked at my anxious appearance, coupled with the information that I had messed up, and asked angrily.
"Diary! Nie Bingwan's diary. I said aloud to the others as I rummaged. Don't be idle, come over and help find it, just now Nie Bingwan's mother Zhang Xiulan said that Nie Bingwan has a habit of keeping a diary, and she must find Nie Bingwan's diary. ”
"Find ...... What are you looking for Nie Bingwan's diary? Nangong Yi came over to help and asked in surprise.
"Zhang Xiulan revealed that Nie Bingwan was originally going abroad, but she suddenly gave up, probably because she was in love, and Zhang Xiulan was sure that Nie Bingwan was dating." I told the others what I had accidentally learned from Zhang Xiulan. "Even if there is a motive for suicide in this case, the possibility of love murder was ruled out from the beginning, because the investigation reported that the four deceased had no emotional disputes, but according to Zhang Xiulan's words, Nie Bingwan has always been in love, but no one knows, which shows that Nie Bingwan is deliberately concealing it."
I pinned my hopes and new clues on that diary, but after searching through all the information and evidence handed over by the police, I couldn't find it.
The hope that had just been ignited gradually dimmed, I looked at the large pile of messed up materials and files in front of me, and sat on the chair with some disappointment, Nie Bingwan is very normal even if she is in love, but why hide it from everyone, even her dearest Zhang Xiulan didn't tell it.
"It's really strange to say, Nie Bingwan recorded the entire suicide process, and judging from the video, the four deceased in the 403 dormitory, the most abnormal one before death was Nie Bingwan, if it was trapped in love and committed suicide, it is not impossible to say." Yun Du said thoughtfully.
"Since Nie Bingwan doesn't want others to know about her relationship, maybe she will really write this secret in her diary." Han Yu stroked Yinyue and said.
"There's one more thing that's weird." I lit a cigarette and took a deep breath and said with a frown. "When Zhang Xiulan came to claim Nie Bingwan's body today, she accidentally saw the tattoo on the sole of Nie Bingwan's feet, she told me that Nie Bingwan has always been clean and self-conscious, and it is impossible to get tattoos, and the last time she saw Nie Bingwan was two months ago, she clearly remembered that at that time, Nie Bingwan had no tattoos on the soles of her feet."
As I spoke, I found out the photo of Nie Bingwan's foot tattoo in the autopsy photo, put it on the table, and said in surprise.
"This tattoo is very strange, there is only a string of numbers, 110302, I always think that I have seen this string of numbers somewhere, but I can't remember anything, you all come over to help take a look, brainstorming may remember."
"Nowadays, students have their own thoughts, not to mention that tattoos cannot be said to be a bad thing, they may be a commemoration or a particularly meaningful thing." Nangong Yi said disappreciatively. "Maybe this string of numbers means a lot to Nie Bingwan, what's so strange?"
"But I paid special attention to this tattoo when I performed the autopsy on Nie Bingwan, based on the pigmentation of the skin epidermis and the degree of wound healing, and the result of my test was that the time when Nie Bingwan's tattoo was tattooed on her body should have been four years ago, that is, when she was just admitted to Hede Medical College." I spat out a puff of smoke and said unhurriedly.
"Four years ago...... Then it doesn't make sense, the tattoo won't disappear, since it was tattooed four years ago, why didn't Zhang Xiulan find it when she saw Nie Bingwan for the last time, and the tattoo was clearly on the bottom of her foot after Nie Bingwan's death. Yun Duruo asked suspiciously after hearing this.
I turned to the prince who was sitting quietly next to me with a rosary, and when it came to tattoos, I guess none of us knew more than him, and the first time I met the prince was at the Liudao Bar, when I had a conflict with the prince because of Yun Duruo, and I grabbed and tore his sleeve.
On the prince's bare arm, the entire arm is wrapped in dense tattoos, which makes people feel extremely shocked.
The tattoo was not a pattern, but rows of strong, small block letters.
All of them are extinguished by entering the infinite nirvana, such as the extinguishing of countless boundless beings......
Half of the prince's arm is tattooed with the Diamond Sutra, and he always felt that the people with tattoos on his body were somewhat unscrupulous, or nondescript, but the tattoos on the prince's body looked so natural, and even had some otherworldly feelings.
"Is it possible for the tattoo to disappear, or is there anything I can do to keep it from appearing?" I turned my head to look at the prince and asked seriously.
"It is said that there is a way to get a tattoo with pigeon blood, the tattoo usually has the same skin color as usual, and there is no trace of it, and when you are drunk or extremely excited, it will appear red and dazzling, so the pigeon blood tattoo is also called a wine tattoo or a stealth tattoo." The prince replied calmly.
He walked over to look at the photo I found of the tattoo on the sole of Nie Bingwan's foot, and quickly shook his head.
"This is an ordinary tattoo, as long as the tattoo is on, it is impossible to disappear temporarily, even if the tattoo is washed off, it will leave obvious marks."
As for the meaning of Nie Bingwan's digital tattoo, we have studied it repeatedly for a long time, and it is surprising that almost everyone has the same feeling as me, and no one can remember where this string of numbers has been seen.
And this tattoo is the same as other unbelievable doubts in this case, it makes us think about it even more, I am sure that this is a tattoo four years ago, but why Zhang Xiulan has not found it, the only reasonable explanation can only be that Zhang Xiulan was dazzled and did not notice it, not to mention that there are many female students with tattoos now, and it is not surprising that Nie Bingwan has tattoos on her body.
My attention returned to the diary mentioned by Zhang Xiulan, and Nangong Yi suddenly said thoughtfully.
"Here are all the information handed over by the police and related to the case, as well as the physical evidence collected during the investigation of the scene, the diary is Nie Bingwan's personal belongings, and it is an extremely ** thing, I think Nie Bingwan must have been collected in a little-known place, and the police should not notice the existence of the diary when collecting information."
"yes, I didn't think of that." I suddenly raised my head and said thoughtfully. "After Nie Bingwan's death, the police sealed off the 403 dormitory, Nie Bingwan has the habit of insisting on writing a diary, the diary must still be in the 403 dormitory, it seems that we have to go back to Hede Medical College."
I just snuffed out the cigarette butt in my hand, and the police officer outside the door knocked on the door and came in, saying that Wen Jinnan of the criminal police team brought someone here, Yun Duruo and I are both old acquaintances of Wen Jinnan, Nangong Yi means that the fewer people who know about the duties of the Forty Bureau, the better, and it is inconvenient to let Wen Jinnan come in, so Yun Duruo and I went out to see him alone.
Standing next to Wen Jinnan was a very young boy, Wen Jinnan didn't have too many polite words when he saw us, and said bluntly.
"His name is Wu Xiao, he is a student of Hede Medical College, and he happens to be a classmate of the four deceased people in dormitory 403, he came to the police station early this morning and said that he had something to reflect about the case, because the case has been handed over to you, so the Jiang Bureau asked me to bring someone to you."
I looked at Wu Xiao, I was a little restrained in front of us, I kept my head down, and I looked a little hesitant, I guess he was entangled in the situation at the police station for a long time, and after Wen Jinnan left, Yun Duruo and I took Wu Xiao to the conference room.
"What do you have to reflect?" I tried to ask in a calm tone to ease his nervousness.
"Nie Bingwan can't kill herself!" Wu Xiao was silent for a long time before he spoke.
His words surprised me and Yun Duruo, it was Nie Bingwan again, I looked at Wu Xiao in surprise and asked seriously.
"Why do you say that Nie Bingwan didn't commit suicide?"
"I ...... I've liked Nie Bingwan for a long time. Wu Xiao lowered his head and said in a small voice.
"Do you like Nie Bingwan?" I was stunned and immediately thought of what Zhang Xiulan said about Nie Bingwan might be in love, we haven't found the diary yet, and we have been trying to find out the man who appeared on the phone that night, I looked at Wu Xiao and asked in surprise. "You...... Are you dating Nie Bingwan? ”
"Nope! That's not true. Wu Xiao raised his head and resolutely denied it. I just like Nie Bingwan, I was attracted to her from the first time I saw her in school, but I never confessed to her, I just liked her silently. ”
"Crush?!" Yun Duruo looked at Wu Xiao in surprise and asked. "Then does Nie Bingwan know about this?"
"Yes, she always knew that we were friends, but I knew she had other people in her heart, so I never pierced this layer of paper." Wu Xiao nodded and replied in a low voice.
"Then why do you say that Nie Bingwan can't commit suicide?" I'm cutting to the chase.
"Three days before Nie Bingwan's accident, she suddenly came to me and asked me if I would like to be with her, I felt so sudden at the time, but I am very happy that after waiting for so many years, she finally understood my heart." Wu Xiao said to us with a sad expression. "I nodded and said yes, Nie Bingwan asked me out at night, I could see that she was not in a very good mood, let me drink with her, and then ......"
Wu Xiao stopped when he said this, and he looked like he wanted to speak again.
"And then?" Yun Duruo asked.
"It was already late at that time, Nie Bingwan was a little drunk, I said to send her back to the dormitory, but she ......" Wu Xiao bit his lip and hesitated for a long time and said softly. But she said she didn't want to go back. ”
Yun Duruo and I looked at each other in surprise, what Nie Bingwan meant by this, of course we know, I believe Wu Xiao also understands, I suddenly remembered that Zhang Xiulan said that three days before Nie Bingwan's accident, she called Nie Bingwan at twelve o'clock in the evening, and she heard a man's voice on the phone.
"You go on." I have already guessed that the voice Zhang Xiulan heard should be Wu Xiao.
"I didn't expect Nie Bingwan to let me go to the hotel to open a room, I really didn't think about it, but Nie Bingwan was so active that night that I couldn't believe it." Wu Xiao buried his head lower and continued to say to us. "When I came out of the shower and found that she was answering a phone call, and then suddenly she started crying and said sorry to me, and I comforted her and asked her what happened, but she didn't say anything, only asked me if I had time in two days, and said that she wanted to take me back to meet her mother, and I said yes."
Two days later is the time of Nie Bingwan's accident, judging from what Wu Xiao said, Nie Bingwan's suicide seems to be too sudden, Yun Duruo and I glanced at each other and asked seriously.
"Nie Bingwan asked you to go back to see her mother, did she come to look for you that day?"
"I found it, there was originally a class at that time, I deliberately asked for leave, when Nie Bingwan came, she said that she forgot to ask for leave, and asked me to go back to the dormitory first and wait for a while, but I didn't know until ......the next day" Wu Xiao's voice stopped here and couldn't say any more.
I secretly thought in my heart that Nie Bingwan had a plan on the day of her death, which shows that she did not plan to commit suicide, and something must have happened after she left Wu Xiao to cause the rest of the story to happen.
"You just said that Nie Bingwan has someone else in her heart?" Yun Duruo asked seriously. "So Nie Bingwan had a boyfriend before?"
"Yes, I have a good relationship with her on weekdays, plus I have a crush on her, Nie Bingwan intentionally or unintentionally revealed that she has a boyfriend, and it is not straightforward to tell me, that is, some time ago, Bingwan received a phone call, and suddenly lost control of her emotions and quarreled with the person on the phone, I stood far away, and vaguely heard that it seemed that Bingwan wanted to make some decisions, because Bingwan She is introverted and has never argued with people, so I remember that time very clearly, I think the only people who can make her angry are people who are very close to her, And I heard a man's voice. ”
"Do you know who this person is?" Yun Duruo asked.
"I don't know, Nie Bingwan never said this in front of me, and I won't ask." Wu Xiao thought about what he remembered and said to me. "By the way, at the end of that phone call, Nie Bingwan said angrily, I won't listen to you, I will definitely keep it...... Then it hung up. ”
"By the way, you and Nie Bingwan are friends, and they have a good relationship, so do you know that she has a diary?" I didn't understand what Nie Bingwan meant by this for a while, so I changed the topic and asked. |Wonderful-pen-pavilion
"Yes, Nie Bingwan told me that she has a habit of keeping a diary, and she always records everything that happens every day, but I have never seen her diary." Wu Xiao replied.
Wu Xiao's words confirmed the diary mentioned by Zhang Xiulan, and also confirmed that Nie Bingwan has always had the habit of writing a diary after going to college, so it seems that this diary has become extremely important, maybe as long as we find this diary, many of the mysteries that plague us can be solved.
Although these things reflected by Wu Xiaolai did not help the case much, they at least confirmed that Nie Bingwan did have a boyfriend who never appeared, and the motive for Nie Bingwan's suicide was even more suspicious.
When I sent Wu Xiao out, I suddenly remembered something.
"Can you recall well, does Nie Bingwan have a tattoo on the sole of her right foot?"
"Tattoos? Nie Bingwan? How could she have tattoos on her body! Wu Xiao's expression was a little surprised, and he shook his head at first, but slowly said with some uncertainty. I don't know if there is, after all, I haven't seen the soles of her feet. ”
I read the book review area, and some people guessed that the murderer was Bi Fujian's == Can I give you a thumbs up o(∩_∩)o haha~
