7. There is no such case
I didn't explain to Feng Jiaxin how I got the thump, and she didn't know it was the sound of the lid of the coffin being knocked on from inside the coffin. If the corpse was just her hallucination, the voice she heard would never be so specific, so from her answer, it can already be concluded that everything that night happened real, not hallucination.
I asked Feng Jiaxin on the phone, how many of the mourning halls on the fourth floor were empty that night. Feng Jiaxin replied that the mourning hall was half empty, and the corpses were parked in the next room, so as to prevent the relatives of the deceased from being too dense during the day.
I asked her how long it had been between the first knock and the subsequent crash on the door. Feng Jiaxin recalled that she felt like it was only ten seconds.
After hanging up, Qiao Wei and I did another experiment, I ran along the corridor from the first spirit on the right to the left with the fastest speed I could with a heartbeat rhythm, and it took fifteen seconds to barely run through the staircase in the middle of the corridor, and it would take at least ten seconds to think about the other end of the corridor.
In addition, there is often a considerable error in people's perception of time, and the ten seconds Feng Jiaxin said are likely to be only five or six seconds, so it is more certain that the knocking sound is not the sound of footsteps, but the sound of knocking on the coffin lid.
Of course, the person who knocked on the coffin can also be a living person. But if it is a prank by a living person, unless several people lie in the coffin in advance and knock the lid of the coffin in turn, it is impossible to do it with just one or two people. But I don't think there are so many boring people making such jokes.
So the most reasonable explanation is that there is a special ghost wandering in the funeral parlor, this ghost borrows the corpse but does not suck people's yang energy, but just keeps burrowing into the coffin and knocking on the coffin lid.
I found a mourning hall with Qiao Wei where the body was parked but the family had not yet come, and then I took the wind outside, and Qiao Wei went inside to open the coffin for an autopsy. As a result, as we had guessed, Qiao Wei found the remnants of the Yin Qi from the corpse that had been borrowed by the ghosts. And I can guess the identity of this powerful ghost more or less - it is Lao Zheng who died in the coffin in 04 years.
According to Yue Yaoqiang, Lao Zheng hid in the coffin because he met a night patrol, and the time of the night patrol was 12 o'clock at night, which also happened to be the time when Feng Jiaxin encountered the corpse. In addition, Lao Zheng died in the coffin, and Feng Jiaxin also heard the knock of the coffin, I think there must be a connection between the two.
I told Qiao Wei my speculation. Qiao Wei also thinks that it is very likely that Lao Zheng is borrowing a corpse and a ghost, and there are indeed many unclear places about Lao Zheng's death, if Lao Zheng's dead soul borrowed the corpse to sue for injustice, it just means that Weishenme Feng Jiaxin was not sucked away Yang Qi.
I asked Qiao Wei if there was a way to directly summon Lao Zheng's soul and ask him what the grievances were.
Qiao Wei said that Lao Zheng's soul is in the funeral home, but summoning the soul in the funeral home is simply asking for trouble, and this road will definitely not work.
So after leaving the funeral home, Qiao Wei and I went directly to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, hoping to find some eyebrows from the case investigation file.
With the status of Advisor to the Criminal Police Team, it is much easier for us to view the file of a criminal case, and we only need to go through the general process of application. But then the problem arose.
The case file of the funeral home death case in 07 was found, and the investigation recorded in it was exactly the same as what Yue Yaoqiang said. But the case information of Lao Zheng's death in the funeral home in 04 years could not be found.
I asked the administrator if it was the file of '04 that was stored in the sub-bureau where the case was handled at that time.
The administrator told me that it was possible, but even if it were, the internal system would be able to find out where the files were kept. The current situation is that the file file cannot be found at all, so either the case handler at that time simply filed and preserved the case, or did not file a case for investigation at all.
The administrator then added: "According to the regulations, all cases must be filed regardless of whether they are closed or not, and now there is no information at all, and I think it is more likely that the case has not been filed." ”
It certainly doesn't make sense that the case wasn't filed. Yue Yaoqiang said that the police had conducted an investigation, and he should have no reason to lie to me and Qiao Wei. And if the police did investigate, it can only mean that the investigation materials were not archived after the investigation. Is this weishenme? Could it be that something that could not be recorded occurred during the investigation of the case in 04 years?
Fortunately, I knew who to go to for answers, so I thanked the administrator, and then went with Qiao Wei to find Lei Qishan.
The police force is rarely peaceful today, basically familiar faces are there, and the door of Lei Qishan's office is also open, and he is sitting in it leisurely drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
When I got to the door, I knocked lightly twice and said, "Team Lei, it's quite casual today." ”
Lei Qishan raised his head from behind the newspaper and glanced at me, immediately put down the newspaper with a smile, and then beckoned Qiao Wei and me to come in.
After I went in, I also omitted unnecessary greetings, and went straight to the point: "I came here because I want to ask you, do you know the case of the night watchman of the funeral parlor who died in the coffin in 04?" ”
Lei Qishan shook his head blankly. He motioned for Qiao Wei and me to sit on the sofa, and then he also came out from behind the desk, and asked with a serious expression, "Where did you hear about such a case?" ”
"This is a long story...... so I told Lei Qishan from beginning to end about Feng Jiaxin's murderous corpse, Qiao Wei and I going to see the funeral director, and the two bizarre deaths in 04 and 07.
Lei Qishan also frowned immediately after hearing this. He said that no matter how Zuihou decides this kind of case, he should leave a file file, and it is impossible to find nothing, unless the person in charge of the case investigation at that time deliberately concealed it.
Without waiting for me to ask, Lei Qishan continued: "The case of the funeral home should be under the responsibility of the Nanhuai District Bureau, and in 04 years, the head of the branch at that time was Fu Chunsheng, and now he is the director of the Nanhuai Public Security Bureau. ”
"Director?! Then we have to ask him about the difficulty of the case in 04 years, right? I said.
"You don't have to look for it. I have a good relationship with him, so let's give him a call and ask. After Lei Qishan finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the desk, and I quickly got up and closed the door of his office and followed to Lei Qishan's desk.
Lei Qishan pressed the speakerphone before dialing. The phone rang only twice, and someone on the other side answered, and as soon as the other party was connected, he called his name and surname: "Lei Qishan!" You kid finally remembered to call me! ”
Lei Qishan smiled, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm too busy here, and from the beginning of the year to now, this is just one day when I can be a little more relaxed." You're doing a good job as a director, aren't you? ”
Obviously, the person who answered the phone was Fu Chunsheng, the head of the detachment of the Nanhuai Sub-district in 04 and the current director of the sub-bureau. I heard the two of them talking, which seems to mean that Lei Qishan and Fu Chunsheng are quite friends, but after Fu Chunsheng became the director, they basically haven't had much contact.
The two asked each other about the status of each other's work, and chatted about the situation at home, and then Lei Qishan turned to the topic and asked Fu Chunsheng if he knew about the murder case in the funeral home in 04.
After Lei Qishan's question was raised, Fu Chunsheng's head was obviously silent for more than five seconds. There is no doubt that in 04, the funeral home definitely died, and the police were absolutely involved in the investigation, but it seems that there are some other secrets that cannot be known.
What's the secret? I think Lei Qishan should have a way to get Fu Chunsheng to say it.
