Volume 2 Xia He Chapter 42 Sleepwalking Syndrome (6)
When Li Zhuqing returned to school from his house, the teachers dispersed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I said to Principal Wang, who was packing up the materials: "I want to go to the police station to talk to Director Kuang about something, you can go with me." ā
Principal Wang was a little surprised: "Go to him at this time?" Is there anything you can tell me about? ā
"Anyway, if you go with me, you'll know when the time comes, it's all time, why waste time?" I laughed.
Principal Wang smiled: "What kind of fame are you going to do?" Well, I'll go with you. Hurry up, I have to come back to bed early. ā
The two of us got out of school and walked south down the street.
Although the town is small, it is much more lively than the countryside. Although it was past nine o'clock, it was not quiet. We walked all the way, and most of the houses on the street were still lit up; People also walk by on the street from time to time. The printing factory and the food factory were still working overtime, and there was the sound of rumbling machines.
There are two good houses on the three-arch bridge, one is a four-storey department store at the crossroads, and the other is a three-storey district government office and accommodation building in the southeast of the town.
The police station is also in the district government office building.
In about ten minutes, we arrived at the district office. Principal Wang led me up to the third floor, and when I couldn't stop in front of a lighted door, I reached out and knocked on the half-covered door.
A middle-aged woman opened the door, and the light poured out and spread over us.
"Brother-in-law? It's so late, what wind blows you? The middle-aged woman's surprised tone revealed a hint of surprise.
Principal Wang said: "I have something to do with Zongjin, isn't he at home?" ā
The woman replied, "Come into the house, at home." He turned his head and shouted at the inner room: "Zong Jin, my brother-in-law is here." ā
Principal Wang said to me, "This is my aunt Xiaoxin, who works in a department store, let's go, let's go in." ā
I called "Aunt Wu" and followed Principal Wang into the house. I know that Principal Wang's lover's surname is Wu, and it would not be wrong to call her Aunt Wu.
At this time, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes came out of the back room, who was Director Kuang who had met in the hospital. I called out "Director Kuang".
Director Kuang recognized me at a glance and said with a smile: "Meng Xianghong, didn't I say that I had nothing to do to come and play, why did I come tonight?" ā
Before I could answer, he said to Aunt Wu, who had just closed the door, "Didn't you always say that you wanted to meet people?" People are coming, but you don't know them. ā
"Yo, you are Meng Xianghong? Last month, I went home to spend my mother's birthday, and I met my sister and Xiaoxin, but I praised you, and Uncle Zeng also talked about you a few days ago. I can't imagine that you have such great skills at such a young age, curing Xiaoxin's illness is to save her, thank you so much! Brother-in-law, do you say so? ā
Principal Wang glanced at me and smiled, "Of course. He is Xiao Xin's great benefactor, and our old lady chatters all day long, so she sent him an immortal tablet! Ha ha. ā
I was not used to being talked about in person like this, and I was embarrassed not to know what to say, Director Kuang asked: "Brother-in-law has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what is the matter with coming here so late?" ā
Principal Wang said: "It was Xianghong who was looking for you to have something, and I accompanied him." ā
Director Kuang sighed and beckoned us to sit down, Aunt Wu poured tea, and I took it and took a sip.
It's not early, and I don't want to talk empty words and delay my work, so I said straight to the point: "Director Kuang, has the murderer of Director Huang been found?" ā
Director Kuang was obviously stunned for a moment, his smiling face became very serious, he glanced at me and said, "Not yet." Why is this the case, you ask? ā
I said in astonishment, "I know who the murderer is!" Not only this case, but also the cause of Teacher Wen Xiaoxue's death three years ago. ā
Director Kuang Huo Di stood up and said hurriedly, "What did you say?" This is no joke. ā
I stared at him and repeated what I had just said.
Director Kuang's wife and Principal Wang looked at me in surprise with their mouths wide open, and Director Kuang pondered for a moment and said to Aunt Wu, "You go to sleep first." As he spoke, he opened the door and said to Principal Wang and me, "Come with me." After saying that, he was the first to go out of the door.
When he got to the first floor, he took out the key, opened the door of the room with the big signboard of "Yangdong County Sangongqiao District Police Station", and turned on the electric light when he entered the room, and Principal Wang and I entered the house one after another.
Director Kuang closed the door, beckoned us to sit down, lifted the thermos and tried to pour us a glass of boiling water, but the thermos was empty. He smiled bitterly and sat down on the chair and said, "I stayed up late every day for a while, and I specially let them rest early tonight." You don't have to drink this water, so you can only sit dry. By the way, let's talk about what's going on. ā
I told you about the discovery of Tan Qingming's sleepwalking and the murder of him in the afternoon. Director Kuang stared at me expressionlessly for a long time without speaking, obviously not believing or not believing. Principal Wang didn't speak, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
With that said, I'm relaxed. Believe it or not, it's up to you, I can't help it if I don't believe it, I just want peace of mind, and the rest has nothing to do with me. While he was thinking wildly, Director Kuang spoke.
"Xiao Meng, no matter what, I would like to express my gratitude to you first of all, thank you for your trust and support to me. You may not understand that our public security handling of cases is a very serious matter, and there is no room for mistakes. Of course, assumptions and speculations are our usual methods, but it's the evidence. Without evidence, even if he is a murderer, we can't do anything to him.
"I know that you have a strange ability, you cured Xiao Xin's illness, your master also told me about you, I tell you the truth, don't be surprised, your set belongs to feudal superstition after all, it can't be put on the table, and it is ridiculous to use it to handle cases. But you gave me an idea.
"I'll tell you the truth, Director Huang's case is very tight, but we don't have many clues, the criminals are very cunning, and there is nothing useful left at the scene, not even a complete handprint and footprints can be extracted. Uncle Liang stayed here for two or three days, and he didn't gain much. It's been almost 20 days now, and there is still no progress on the case, and I can hardly close my eyes at night, so I'm in a hurry! But what can be done?
"As you just said, it's not that I don't believe you, it's possible, but this can't be used as a basis for handling the case? How do I explain to my superiors? How do you explain it to a colleague? Xiao Meng, don't go out and say this, this is the end of it, in case it causes unnecessary trouble, you know? ā
I thought for a moment, looked at Director Kuang and said, "Director Kuang, I know that this thing looks ridiculous, and no one will believe it. I thought about it for a long time before I asked Principal Wang to accompany me to you. I can tell you with great certainty that it is true that Director Huang was killed by Tan Qingming, who was sleepwalking. I believe my own feelings, in fact, as early as soon after the start of school, that is, when I was treating Sister Xiaoxin, I told Principal Wang that the teaching room could not be lived, and Director Huang was afraid that he would be more than lucky, even when he was killed, I have already said the scene. Principal Wang didn't believe it at the time, but later he was skeptical, what was the result? I'm all right. ā
Director Kuang looked at Principal Wang. After Director Huang's accident, Principal Wang regretted it so much that it almost became his heart disease, and he immediately told him about it. At this time, Director Kuang was surprised, and I continued: "After Director Huang's accident, not only did President Wang regret it, but I also regretted it very much. Alas, I won't talk about that. It is precisely because of this that I came to you tonight, Tan Qingming sleepwalking is what I saw with my own eyes, he can kill Director Huang, and he may kill Zhang San and Li Si in the future, the murder case may come again, and the tragedy will be repeated, I won't say it at this time, I will regret it even more in the future??"
Director Kuang frowned and thought for a while and said, "I understand you when you say that." Let's go into more detail. āļ¼
I started from seeing Tan Qingming sleepwalking last night, and even his mood and dress were very clear, and as I was talking, Director Kuang interrupted me and said, "Wait, do you mean that Tan Qingming was wearing a military uniform and gloves and liberation shoes when he was sleepwalking?" ā
I nodded and said yes. Director Kuang stood up abruptly, walked around the room a few times with some excitement, and finally stopped and said, "No wonder we couldn't find a useful fingerprint at the scene. According to you, he came in and out of the window, so??"
Director Kuang clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it into his left palm, and said excitedly: "Xianghong, I really don't know how to thank you, you have done a great job." I'm not afraid of violating discipline, let me tell you, because there were too many people who went into the teaching room at that time, and the phenomenon was seriously damaged, we only extracted half of the footprints of the rubber-soled liberation shoes, and it was found by Uncle Zeng in the chaotic footprints, outside the window is the road, people come and go, there are a lot of footprints, and the light investigation has not been completed until now, now it's okay, as long as you find the liberation shoes that match the footprints from Tan Qingming's house, you can basically determine that he is the murderer??"
I looked at Director Kuang, who was walking around excitedly, and couldn't help but interrupt him: "Director Kuang, according to the laws of our country, what kind of crime will a person who kills someone like this sleepwalking will be convicted?" Will he be sentenced to be shot? ā
Director Kuang calmed down, sat down and said slowly: "It's the first time I've encountered such a thing, and I don't know very well, this has to be identified by experts, and I know that if a mentally ill person kills someone during his illness, he doesn't have to bear criminal responsibility." But I don't know about sleepwalking killing. I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will definitely report it to my superiors truthfully, and I will definitely deal with it carefully according to the law, you don't have to worry about this. By the way, didn't you say that someone died three years ago, so what's going on? Let's hear it. ā
"You can let Principal Wang tell you about that matter, as for the reason, someone will come to pick it up tomorrow, so I won't say more. It's not early, you have to rest, Principal Wang and I are going back to school, and we have to go to class tomorrow! ā
