Chapter 158, extraneous branches
I didn't need to take care of the fire treatment work in the pharmacy, and after I came out of the store, I spread the knowledge about ghosts to Humpty Dumpty. The main purpose is to hope that he can understand that there must be another hidden story behind the ghost of the article, and if this matter is not investigated to the end, it is difficult to guarantee that a similar situation will not occur in the future.
Humpty Dumpty's expression was always complicated as he listened to me say this, and I wondered if he was analyzing if I had another purpose, or if he was wondering if the decapitated axe had something to do with the mass coma that had preceded it.
I'll admit, I can't guess what the fat man was thinking, but after I finished speaking. He completely agreed to continue to investigate according to my train of thought, and as for whether he had other arrangements on the police's side, and whether he wanted to track down any "real culprits", this was not within my consideration.
Nanping Street ...... According to Jin Dong, Nanping is on the side of the airport, ten years ago there were bungalows, and later a multi-storey residential community was built, and the No. 22 address given in the article is actually the old address before, and it may not make much sense to use this address to find someone.
I wonder if the bungalow is demolished, there must be people who move back, and if the article and Wen Kan lived there, the father and son should be very impressed. So if you listen to the people who have moved back, you will find Wen Kan immediately, and you will probably be able to ask for some clues.
But it's late today, and I don't want to get too tired. So let's go back to the hotel to rest.
The next morning, I met up alone with Humpty Dumpty at the police station. Then go to Nanping Street near the airport, where the search begins.
I thought Humpty Dumpty would get hundreds of police officers to do a carpet check, but when I got there, I saw only a police car and asked again. It turned out that Humpty Dumpty had only found 4 cops to come here.
He explained to me that the clues I provided were not supported by substantial evidence, so there was no way to mobilize a large number of police forces, and that such a small-scale investigation could only be carried out. He also particularly emphasized that in addition to arrest operations, investigation operations of a general nature are carried out by one or two people, and this time four of them have been brought to a sufficient attention.
I don't know much about how the police work, so I don't know if he's fooling me, but I don't have anything to complain about, after all, it's not me who asks from door to door, all I have to do is sit and wait for the results, that's all.
The wait was much shorter than I expected, and at noon, the police found an old resident who had lived on Nanping Street at the airport for more than 30 years.
Because the article had burns from Yan zhòng, the entire left side of his face became inhuman-like and very terrifying, so the resident was very impressed by the article. Of course, the article did not continue to call this name, he was under the pseudonym Wu Wen at the time, and his son also changed his name to Wu Bin.
According to the old resident, the article rarely speaks to people, and his face is gloomy at all times. His son was also reluctant to communicate with people at first, and he was not very good-tempered, and if someone went to help him with something, he would not only not thank him, but would be furious. But then Wu Bin gradually began to be willing to speak, and he also made a very beautiful girlfriend.
Ten years ago, the father and son suddenly disappeared from the bungalow area on the side of the gas station, and the old residents did not know where the father and son had gone. However, he knew the landlord of the house where the father and son rented the article, and he also told the police that the landlord had called him.
We immediately called, and the landlord was a woman, and she confirmed that the article had died of illness ten years ago, that she was there when she died, and that she had even helped to organize the funeral.
As for Wen Kan's current whereabouts, the landlord is not very clear, but she feels that Wen Kan should not have left the city, because half a year before the article's death, Wen Kan found a job with a monthly salary of 3,000. Ten years ago, it was very rare for a disabled person to have a job like that, which was enough for him to rent a better house in the city.
The result that the article is dead obviously makes Humpty Dumpty very, very disappointed, probably he still has a glimmer of hope, hoping that the article is still alive, hoping that he did the decapitation case in the fire, because there is no way to make him deal with a ghost.
At almost five o'clock in the afternoon, the police found Wen Kan. He still uses the pseudonym Wu Bin and is currently working as a brand manager at a beverage factory.
The police took Wen Kan back to the police station and had a long conversation.
Wen Kan was very reluctant to his original name, and he preferred to be called by the name Wu Bin, in his words, he planned to say goodbye to the past with the name Guò.
He said he knew his father was a murderer, but he was just a kid with a crippled lower limb and all he could do was run away from his father. When he was thirty years old, his father died, and he taught himself to find a job as a copywriter, and now he has a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan.
Now, he has his own house in the city, he is also married, and he has a three-year-old daughter, and his life is very happy, so he really hopes that the word "Wen Kan" will completely disappear from his world He is now surnamed Wu, named Wu Bin.
Ten years ago, his father died of skin cancer. The fire that disfigured the article tormented him for twenty years and eventually took his life. In the twenty years of his escape, the money accumulated by the article was basically spent on treating Wen Kan, so in the end there was no money for a funeral, and the cremation was also very expensive, so in the end, Wen Kan buried his father in a burial post in the countryside of another county.
During the time that the police invited Wen Kan to the public security bureau, they also went to his colleagues and neighbors to find out.
According to these people, Wen Kan is very friendly, helpful, and talkative, and in short, he is a very good person. In addition, he is also very busy with work, basically living at work and at home every day, and his legs are still disabled, so it is also ruled out that he imitates his father to kill.
But after all, the article is a wanted criminal and a serial killer, so the police must be 100% sure that he is dead. So at the end of the conversation, the police asked Wen Kan to provide his father's bones for DNA extraction and comparison.
Wen Kan didn't have any objection to this, but he asked to wait until tomorrow afternoon to set off, because he was going to buy a good coffin and give his father a new home.
This request was not excessive, and the police agreed, but Humpty Dumpty still secretly arranged for someone to spy on Wen Kan, afraid that he would escape at night.
However, his worries were obviously superfluous, Wen Kan did not escape, but just ordered a coffin. The next afternoon, Wen Kan rented a car and took the coffin to the countryside of another county, and me, Humpty Dumpty, and the technician of the police force also followed.
The graves in the burial hill are very simple, and the tombstones are all dilapidated small stone slabs, only a beautiful marble tombstone stands in front of the grave of the article, and two names are neatly engraved on the stele, article and Wenkan. Wen Kan's explanation for this is: "Wen Kan" no longer exists, and only Wu Bin is alive now.
I've seen him say goodbye to the past on TV, but it's the first time I've seen it in real life, and I don't think I'll have my name engraved on my tombstone unless I'm dead.
Wen Kan hired several professional helpers from the coffin shop, and they also handled the digging of the grave. These people were so quick with their hands and feet that in just a few minutes the grave bag was dug up, and several people carried the coffin of the article from inside.
The coffin is indeed very dilapidated, not only because it has been buried on the ground for a long time, but the overall structure of the coffin is much worse, compared with the coffin newly ordered by Wen Kan, it is simply 108,000 miles.
After the coffin was opened, the police took enough samples from the bones for DNA extraction, and the bones were then moved to a new coffin by workers and reburied.
Before filling in the soil, I took out the box containing the article and opened the seal, releasing his soul. Because it was already dark, the souls of the article would not be dispersed at this time. After he came out, he recognized Wen Kan at a glance, but unfortunately Wen Kan couldn't see him, and I was the only one who could communicate with him among all the people present.
He walked up to Wen Kan excitedly, but he just stood there and watched, and didn't make any other movements, and then he shook his head in pain.
I didn't care about other people's reactions, and walked over to the article and said, "I have done what I promised you, now it's time for you to sue me, who made you a ghost?" ”
The article looked up at me, then smiled and pointed at his own heart, and then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry for my son, I didn't give him a normal childhood, I'm sorry for him, I'm really sorry." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Wen Kan again and said, "Son, Dad is sorry for you, Dad shouldn't come back, I'm relieved to see you now, I'm relieved......"
The body of the article is starting to blur, and he's leaving!
I felt that I couldn't ask anything else now, so I simply walked over to Wen Kan, and then grabbed his shoulder and asked him to turn around and face the article.
"Your dad's ghost is right in front of you, he's leaving, he says he's sorry for you, and he's relieved to see that you're doing well. If you have anything to say, just tell him quickly. I said to Wen Kan. Stay at Yacai.
Wen Kan looked at me sideways and was stunned, as if he didn't know what I was talking about.
I hurriedly pointed in the direction where the article was standing and said, "Your father's ghost is there, if you have anything to say, just say it, he is really leaving." ”
Wen Kan hesitated, but finally said in the direction I was pointing: "Dad, I didn't hate you." ”
Wen Kan's words were only one sentence, but a relieved smile appeared on the face of the article, and then, his ghost completely dissipated, and I am sure that he will never return.
Back in the city, I said goodbye to Humpty Dumpty and went to Jin Dong's house for dinner. The identity of the severed head monster in the fire field has been clarified, and Jin Dong's mood is also very good, but I still have a question in my heart, will people become such a difficult ghost simply because of their concern for their families? I've always been skeptical.
But the article is gone, and I'm afraid no one can say the answer.
I stayed at Jin Dong's house that night, and the next morning I slept until I woke up naturally, and then I was ready to buy a plane ticket to go back. And just as I was about to book a ticket, my phone rang suddenly, and the caller turned out to be the short and fat man.
I thought he was going to apologize for the "interrogation" of me before, but the first thing he said was: "At nine o'clock this morning, a fire broke out in the real yàn room of a junior college, and three students were trapped in the real yàn room and burned to death, guess what happened later?" ”
An ominous premonition swept over me at once!
"Their heads are gone?" I guess.
"Hmmm! You're right! Humpty Dumpty replied.
