Chapter 7 The Yin Infant Asks for Life
In the office of the Different Cases Bureau, because Li Muyu was curious about the strange evidence stored in the Different Cases Bureau, he often told Li Muyu about a case about a water ghost involved in a murderer.
After the case was finished, Li Muyu subconsciously doubted the old man, but after finishing speaking, Li Muyu regretted it, in order to cover up the embarrassment on his face, Li Muyu laughed dryly twice, and once again moved his eyes to the evidence shelf beside him.
Li Muyu could see clearly, this was a bloody plastic toy doll, the blood had dried up on the pale face of the toy doll due to a long time, showing a dark black scab, Li Muyu knew that there was blood on the doll's face at the beginning.
Li Muyu looked at the label of the evidence bag, "Doll homicide case, June 5, 2002." ”
The corners of Lao Chang's eyes lowered downward, and after thinking for a moment, he told the story of the case......
"This case is a bit evil, the first case was not taken by us, but handled by the criminal investigation team. At first, two children died, and the children were not very old, and they had just started kindergarten. The criminal investigation team investigated the homicide case at that time, but in the end, all the signs showed that the murderer turned out to be this. Lao Chang said and pointed to the evidence bag in Li Muyu's hand.
"Doll?!" Li Muyu shouted in surprise. Lao Chang nodded and continued......
"That's the thing, all the evidence shows that it's the murderer. So the serious crime team of the criminal investigation team couldn't continue to investigate, and after the case was handed over to us, it was funny to say, Ling Ran and I stared at this toy for two days, and found no problems, before we began to investigate other related aspects of the case.
Due to the investigation of the criminal investigation team in the early stage, it saved us a lot of trouble. The two children who died one after another had nothing to do with each other, if anything, they had both bought the same type of doll at a toy store called Yi'er.
At that time, the serious crime team also discovered this subtle connection, and also investigated the Yier toy store, but did not find anything suspicious in the investigation, and finally only found out that the owner of the store was suspected of tax evasion.
We also knew that even if we went, there would be no problems with the investigation, so we listed all the children who had bought the same dolls at this toy store. Fortunately, the sales of this doll are average, and a total of three were sold, except for the two who died, and one naturally became our target.
The two parents who reported the crime at the time both told such a clue. A few nights before their child died, they could always hear the child's cry faintly, and they were sure that it was not their own child at all. They noticed the problem, but couldn't find where it was coming from.
Coincidentally, on the fourth day, the one we were eyeing reported to the police, saying that they heard the cries of children every night. They were sure that it was not their own child's voice, and it was certainly not that they had heard it wrong.
Hearing this news, Ling Ran and I squatted in the closet of the child's room that night with the consent of the family, and at midnight, the surroundings gradually became quieter, and the children we were watching were still a little afraid of the living and refused to sleep, but after all, it was the child's heart, and he gradually fell asleep after midnight.
We weren't sure if that strange thing would happen again that night, when it was about two o'clock when we were awakened by the faint cry of a child. Through the crack in the closet door, we can see that the child sleeping on the bed is not crying, and is sleeping peacefully, but where does this cry come from?
Fearing another accident, we jumped out of the closet without waiting to find the source of the cry. When we came out, it was unusually quiet again, as if nothing had happened.
However, we found out from the camera that had been set up in the house for a long time - the doll, and at about two o'clock, the doll actually began to sob. On the doll, we vaguely saw the shadow of a baby, and if we looked closely, we could see that the baby was born and had a lot of sewage on its body.
Seeing this, early the next morning, we went to the IKEA toy store again, and sure enough, we found a dead baby and a doll of the same type as the victim's home in the sewer of the toy store.
The doll was not booked in the toy store, and the store told us that he remembered that the doll was lost when it was purchased, but the manufacturer counted it as a shipping reason and did not record it, so he did not pay attention to it again. But who would have thought that this toy would be stolen by a dead baby.
In the end, the origin of this dead baby took us a lot of effort. Gradually investigated along the sewer pipe, a vocational technical school caught our attention, and later investigated that it was a female student in the technical school who was pregnant and gave birth to a baby in the school toilet.
As for why the baby killed someone, first, the dead baby was angry, and secondly, because someone else bought his favorite toy, out of the child's heart, it attached itself to the toy and committed murder.
In the end, we cremated the dead baby and the first toy doll that had been stolen, and as for the female student who was still a minor at the technical school, the baby was born prematurely and was dead at birth, so it was not a crime, and we did not prosecute after we educated it.
After speaking, Lao Chang sighed, every time he thought of these cases, he always felt sorry for those who died. Lao Chang lost interest in telling Li Muyu about the case again, and said to Li Muyu: "If you are interested in the rest of the cases, you can go through the files yourself, our files are not classified in the archives, but they are only handed over to the provincial department on a regular basis, but they have not been handed over much so far." Lao Chang stretched out his hand and patted the filing cabinet.
Li Muyu nodded, but Li Muyu was not in the mood to check the archives, because everything he saw today completely subverted Li Muyu's world.
Lao Chang took Li Muyu and continued to walk across the archives area, behind the archives area is the real office area, but I don't know if it is due to the nature of the Alien Cases Section or architectural reasons, the lighting in the office area is not good, even at noon, it is dark and gloomy.
In the office area is a block, each with a desk and a chair placed there. Li Muyu counted carefully, a total of five positions. In this way, in addition to himself and Lao Chang, there should be three more people.
Lao Chang pointed to a block behind him and motioned for Li Muyu to put things there. Then Chang himself walked to a desk with no chairs and only a wooden bench and sat down.
Li Muyu put his things away, and his eyes showed doubts when he saw the bench where Lao Chang was sitting.
"It's nothing, I'm used to sitting on the bench." Lao Chang looked at Li Muyu and said.
