Zou Haitao and Guo Jinquan were stunned for a moment, although the two heard Zhang Zengbao's fellow countryman say that he liked to read novels, but they didn't feel anything at all, after all, this is the era of mobile phone intelligence, there is only a mobile phone, and reading novels is too common, so the two did not delve into this issue at that time.

At this time, when they heard my words, the two of them looked at each other a little dumbfounded.

"Team leader, I'll call and ask right away." Guo Jinquan said first, and then nodded when he saw me, and only after he was not angry did he take his mobile phone to the side, fortunately he wrote down the number of Zhang Zengbao's fellow countryman.

Soon, Guo Jinquan put down the phone and walked over with some excitement, "Team leader, I just asked, Zhang Zengbao usually reads some horror novels, and he is still fascinated." ”

"Like to read horror novels?" I nodded, then looked at the two of them and said, "Find a way to get a sample of Zhang Zengbao's voice, or take the recording from the alarm center to the technical department to restore it, and compare the two to see what clues can be found." ”

"Team leader, do you mean that the person who called is Zhang Zengbao?" Zou Haitao's eyes instantly became a lot bigger, and he looked at me with burning eyes.

"There is this possibility, after all, if it is an outsider, I really can't figure out where his motives are, the only reasonable explanation is that this call was made by Zhang Zengbao himself, assuming that he directed all this, then everything is reasonable, the only accident is estimated that even Zhang Zengbao didn't think that he would die, right?" I didn't hide it and said it directly.

"Team leader, are you saying that all this is directed and acted by Zhang Zengbao? So what is his purpose? Could it be that he played himself to death? Zou Haitao looked at me and asked a few questions in a row.

"Well, it's very possible, because only in this way can things be explained, Zhang Zengbao Muna is honest, this kind of person usually holds anything in his heart, and the burden is heavier, and he likes to read horror novels, this kind of thing is too much, sometimes there will be some hallucinations, plus the willpower is not firm, it is easy to go to extremes."

"According to my inference, Zhang Zengbao should not want to die, otherwise he would not call the police in advance, I am afraid that he does this more to attract the attention of others, or to achieve some other purposes, but it is a pity that in the process of entering the water, because of some accidents that led to drowning."

"In other words, there are no water ghosts in the Bailang River at all? Everything is made up? Zou Haitao's heart suddenly became much clearer, and he no longer had a clue as before.

"If there are any water ghosts, who knows, you go check it, I'll go find Su Chuan to take a look." I smiled and turned away, there are even real ghosts in this world, let alone any water ghosts, but it's better not to say this kind of thing.

At noon, my attention was on Zhang Zengbao's ankle, and I didn't care about anything else, and after vaguely guessing that Zhang Zengbao might be self-directing and acting, I couldn't help but want to go back and watch it again.

When he came to the forensic inspection center, Su Chuan was busy testing some things, and Zhang Zengbao's body had been sent to the cold room, after all, it was easy to deteriorate when it was always placed outside.

Seeing me coming, Su Chuan was stunned for a moment, "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”

"What happened to the test results?" I didn't answer Su Chuan's words, but asked directly.

"The results have come out, the bruise under the handprint is indeed caused by external force, but usually it takes considerable force to cause this kind of trace, but Zhang Zengbao's ankle bone has no damage, I don't know if it is caused by a water ghost, but I think it is difficult for normal ordinary people to cause this kind of injury, especially in the water, it is even more difficult." Su Chuan replied very calmly.

"So what? What conclusions did the Soviet forensic doctor come to? I asked with interest.

"I think Zhang Zengbao should belong to him to kill, after the murderer killed Zhang Zengbao, when his blood was about to cool, he held this handprint hard, because the blood will slowly condense after death, at this time it is much easier to make this kind of handprint, and then the murderer threw Zhang Zengbao into the Bailang River, causing a kind of fact that Zhang Zengbao was killed by a water ghost." Su Chuan looked at me without fear and talked eloquently, but from his professional point of view, what he said was not wrong, especially the formation of the handprint, which gave a convincing explanation.

However, the case is not a certain aspect of reasoning, but the reproduction of all clues, I am not disgusted by Su Chuan's daring to question, but I still appreciate it a little.

"Then have you examined the cause of Zhang Zengbao's death?" I asked.

"Drowning!" After Su Chuan finished speaking, he glanced at me, and continued: "I took some water from Zhang Zengbao's abdomen, and then compared it with the water test in the Bailang River, and the results proved that the two water quality were the same, but this does not rule out the possibility that Zhang Zengbao killed him, I also specially checked Zhang Zengbao's body, and found that he had some scars on his body, which were probably caused by the murderer's violent struggle when Zhang Zengbao drowned." ”

"Then did you find any clues left by the murderer from him?" I continued.

"No, the murderer was very cunning, did not leave any clues, and should have been wearing gloves when committing the crime." Su Chuan shook his head and said.

"According to the time when the police were received, Zhang Zengbao died at about ten o'clock in the morning, at that time, there were still many people playing next to the Bailang River, do you think the murderer would choose to kill people at this time and place? Isn't he afraid in case he is discovered? I looked at Su Chuan and asked.

"This, maybe this is also deliberate by the murderer, in order to confuse our sight." Su Chuan frowned and said.

Even if this is true, how can the phone call from the night before be explained? The murderer deliberately called before the killing? Isn't he afraid of being exposed? I asked without backing down.

"It could be suspicious, or it might be distracting from our vision." Su Chuan's brows furrowed even tighter, speaking of which, he is not the kind of stupid person, on the contrary, he is very smart, just a preconceived concept, plus he doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world at all, so he thought that the handprint was artificial at the beginning, and then from this point of view, he used reverse thinking to analyze, but in this way, it is simply putting the cart before the horse.

"You love solving crimes?" I didn't continue to struggle with Su Chuan on the case, but asked directly.

Su Chuan was stunned by my words, and didn't seem to expect me to ask such a question, he pondered slightly, but nodded, "Actually, my ideal is to be a detective like Conan." ”

"Well, it's a very good ideal, if you're not busy, you can ask Zou Haitao to learn about the details of this case, or you can follow along, after all, only by really contacting can you understand how the case was solved, instead of just seeing a bunch of words piled up." I smiled slightly, although I learned from the conversation just now that Su Chuan had examined Zhang Zengbao's body in detail, but as long as it was not dissected, there were still many problems that could not be found, so I decided that it would be better to see it with my own eyes.

I opened the refrigerator and moved Zhang Zengbao out, then put on a pair of gloves handed over by Su Chuan, lifted the white cloth, and directly opened the eyes of the sky to examine it carefully.

First the head, then the eyes, the mouth, and then slowly down, whether it was the back of the chest, or the feet and hands, they were carefully examined, and then stood up straight with a calm brow.

"Liu, team leader, what's wrong with you?" Su Chuan shouted a little uncomfortably, obviously uncomfortable, but it also made me understand a little bit about the reason why he would be assigned here.

"It's nothing, it's just something that comes to mind, I'm sorry for you." I shook my head and put Zhang Zengbao back into the refrigerator before taking off my gloves and saying.

"No trouble." Su Chuan hurriedly waved his hand, and only when I was about to turn around did he say in a slur manner: "Team Leader Liu, can I really follow you to solve the case?" ”

"As long as it doesn't interfere with your job, you can do it at any time." I smiled at Su Chuan's encouragement, and then left with a hint of doubt in my heart.

Through the examination just now, I didn't get more clues, but I had a little more doubt in my heart, saying that no problem was the biggest problem, but I found the problem.

When I was examining Zhang Zengbao's abdomen, I faintly sensed a trace of yin qi, a unique aura on the body of a ghost, but this breath was very light, if it wasn't for the fact that my strength had just increased a lot, I am afraid I wouldn't have felt it.

It's just that this made me hesitate about my previous guess, although I can be sure that the handprints on Zhang Zengbao's ankles are not caused by water ghosts, but the slightest fluctuation on his body is a real ghost breath.

Could it be that Zhang Zengbao's accident in the river is related to this? It is said that water ghosts will drag people down by their ankles, but no one knows what the truth is, and now it is mostly a rumor.

Now I only hope that Zou Haitao and Guo Jinquan can find useful information and provide more support for my previous inferences, only in this way can I better understand the truth of the matter.

Since Zhao Dezhu's accidental death, there is one less person in a group, Qi Yan has almost become Bai Xue's follower now, and it is estimated that it will take a while to come back, Zhang Wei is busy building his own designed feng shui pool, Zou Haitao, Guo Jinquan went to investigate and collect further clues, and now there is only me and a slightly older Lu Xing left in the group.

Thinking of this case, I came to Lu Xing's desk, and now if it wasn't for the shortage of manpower, Lu Xing would usually stay in the team to sort out and find some information.

For this kind of life, Lu Xing himself is also very satisfied, it is his own choice, after all, this kind of work is usually done by some old people who are about to retire, and although Lu Xing is not young, he has nothing to do with old age in his forties.

"Team leader, is there something wrong?" Seeing me coming, Lu Xing raised his head and showed a kind smile.
