Chapter XVIII Analysis

If Zhong Lu's strange reaction is due to the innate reserve of women, and it is understandable, then Lin Hui is by no means shy, this kind of prodigal son in love will be shy because of a girl who meets for the first time, and he cannot be called a veteran of the flower field.

Therefore, there is only one answer, that is, this kid has a heart for Zhong Lu, and he is very serious.

I don't doubt the existence of love at first sight, although women are like water and very sensual, but it is men who are really easy to fall in love at first sight, they have the most intuitive visual feelings, and sometimes far beyond the delicate heart of women.

I put my mouth to Nie Qian's ear, and just wanted to say my guess, but the phone suddenly rang, I sighed helplessly, I didn't need to look to know that the call must have been from Lu Yong.

Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, Lu Yong used his usual concise, tough and commanding tone, and then hung up the phone after saying that he would come to the police station immediately to find me, without giving me any objection or even a chance to speak, as if he had really become his subordinate and was at his disposal as a matter of course.

Putting down the phone, I found that the eyes of the other people at the table were all looking at me, and Nie Qian asked with concern, "Whose phone is it?" ”

"Lu Yong, it's the criminal investigation captain, he asked me to go to the police station." I pretended to be light-hearted.

Nie Qian frowned, "Now? ”

I put a few large pieces of meat into my mouth, and said vaguely: "Yes, didn't I say it just now, since I finally chose to call the police, I naturally have to cooperate with them." ”

"But haven't they already asked about Li Qing's murder? Why do you want to be alone? Lin Hui didn't know what I had experienced two days ago, and showed a puzzled expression.

"I don't know, but they always have a reason for doing it."

I hurriedly nibbled on a big chicken leg again, and by the way, I comforted Nie Qian a few words, and suddenly, I felt like a soldier who had been ordered to go on the battle, and after greeting everyone, I left alone.

Warriors who have been ordered to go on the march!

It's strange how I came up with this metaphor? I tilted my head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Today is October 22nd, Qing, three days have passed since the revenge room murder, the murderer did not leave many clues, at least I don't know much, and he killed Erin under everyone's noses, when he should have hidden his whereabouts the most, which is undoubtedly a provocation to the police and the law.

The reason why homicide cases are different from other crimes is not only because of their heinous nature, but more importantly, in each case, we can always see those deep, unknown, and even subversive consciousness and values, which are the products of the times, or the deformed products of people-to-people interactions in social development.

With the development of society and the abundance of materials, human greed has expanded infinitely, so that it drives the mind to both extreme and extreme.

For murder cases, people often only focus on the superficial right and wrong, singing the high profile of good and evil, but ignoring many potential social factors, or maybe they did not ignore them, but this factor is too deep-rooted, so they have to refocus on the case itself, chasing the murderer, public opinion fell to the ground to condemn the murderer, sympathize with the victim, and then similar cases continue to happen, people continue to do the same thing, the wicked get the punishment they deserve, but the victims have not decreased, and society will always be in this cycle of cycles...

I took a deep breath and shook my head slightly, interrupting my thoughts, not letting this negative notion spread, if everyone is as perfect as a saint, what else do you need to be bound by law and morality? Moreover, saints are not perfect.

I looked out of the car, the scenery was moving backwards at a dizzying speed, I closed my eyes and let go of my brain, after that, what awaited me was a long and difficult road, I needed to relax my tense nerves, even if it was only for a second.

Twenty minutes later, I arrived at the Criminal Police Brigade. As soon as I arrived at the police station, I was taken into Lu Yong's office, and he was the only one in the huge room, sitting at his desk looking down at something. After the policeman who brought me over informed Lu Yong, he closed the door and left.

"Sit down." Lu Yong glanced up at me and lowered his head, and asked casually, "Have you eaten lunch?" ”

"I was called by you just halfway through the meal."

In response to my complaints, the other party just gave a faint "oh", seemingly indifferent.

"Calling me over in such a hurry, is there anything new to discover?" I asked.

"Nope." Lu Yong sat up straight, moved his muscles and bones, and said, "These clues on our hands alone are enough for us to be busy for a while. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a stack of papers on the table and shook it in front of my eyes.

I sat down on a multi-person couch to his left and asked straight to the point, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?" ”

"Don't worry, we have to re-examine the context of these two cases first, and then talk about the future, but there is one more thing I want you to know before that." Seeing that I had no objection, Lu Yong continued: "A surveillance camera is installed at the entrance and exit of the revenge room, but unfortunately, the camera is broken. ”

"Both broken?" I asked, rather surprised.

Lu Yong nodded, and before I could speak, he continued: "I know what you're thinking, but these two surveillance probes shouldn't have been destroyed by the murderer, because they haven't been used for more than half a year." Since the revenge room is not a popular place to play, there are very few people who usually come, so the monitoring probe is broken and no one has repaired it so far, I think the murderer took advantage of this loophole to kill people. ”

The biggest difference between modern criminal investigation and early investigation is the intervention of scientific and technological means, which make the investigation relatively simple, but also make people have a strong sense of dependence, among which monitoring is the most common.

Nowadays, wherever a case occurs in society, no matter how big or small, the first thing is to look at the surveillance video, which seems to have become a necessary skill for modern criminal investigation, but as far as the case-handling personnel themselves are concerned, it is difficult to say whether this is progress or regression, because in many cases surveillance replaces thinking.

I raised my hand and touched my chin, and muttered: "If even the surveillance of the crime scene is useless, let alone the other surveillance in the Happy Manor, there are many tourists in the park these days, and it is obviously impossible to distinguish the suspects one by one, which means that this murder ...... No, and Erin's house, if I'm not mistaken, there is no surveillance in the old city that may be demolished at any time, which means that we can't find clues through surveillance footage in these two murders, right? ”

"Exactly." Lu Yong's gaze seemed to change a little when he looked at me, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that you know this, let's take a look at the context of the case now." On Sunday, the 18th of this month, at 2:45 p.m., Li Qing was strangled to death in the revenge room game of Happy Manor. The scene of the murder was a dark room with a closed door and no light, and after our investigation and visit in Happy Manor for the past two days, we can confirm that there is no secret door or dark room in this room, and even the walls, floors, and roofs have no places for people to enter and exit. Although the doors to the front and back of the room were not locked, the specific situation turned the room into a secret room, because as soon as someone opened the door to enter and exit, as soon as a glimmer of light shone in, it would be immediately discovered, so ......"

"So you conclude that the murderer is among us." I interrupted him, and for some reason, I always felt the urge to confront him, "But have you ever thought of other possibilities?" Maybe the murderer just used some special method to keep himself coming and going? Or maybe the murderer wasn't human at all! ”

Lu Yong's cheeks puffed out, revealing a smile that disgusted me deeply, "Of course, the situation you said is also possible, but the probability is very low. We are all materialists, and it is better to believe less in those strange and chaotic things, and as for what methods the murderer will use to make himself come and go without a trace, I prefer to believe that the murderer is among you. ”

"Is that a big possibility?" I retorted, "It's never easy to kill a fitness instructor with a strong physique like Li Qing in the dark, and everyone's seats are so close together that we can't see or hear ......"

"You're wrong, it's not like you can't hear anything." Lu Yong interrupted me coldly.

"What did you say?" I stared at him with some displeasure, "It seems that I need to tell you some details of the crime again, when I put on the headphones, I can't hear any other sound except the recording played inside, even if someone is talking in my ear, you can ask Lin Hui to confirm this." Do you suspect that all of us are lying? ”

Lu Yong didn't answer, but leaned sideways to find something at the desk, and after a while, he put a pair of heavy black headphones on the table, "This is the headset you used in the revenge room that day, you can wear it now and listen to it again." ”

The muscles at the corners of my mouth twitched unconsciously, and the nervous expression of the female policeman who came to Lu Yong with headphones on the day of the crime came to my mind, and a sense of ominousness suddenly appeared in my heart.

I got up from the sofa, walked quickly to the table, took the headphones and put them on my head, and at this moment, I finally understood the reason why the policewoman was nervous, because I soon heard Lu Yong's voice, "I'm not wrong, it's not that you can't hear anything." ”

It wasn't loud, but I could hear it clearly, and I couldn't argue with the hard truth, "How so?" Are we all mistaken? ”

"No, everyone's confessions are very consistent on this point, unless you have already colluded, otherwise what you are saying is true, you really can't hear the outside world when you are wearing headphones to play, as for the reason..."

Lu Yong moved his gaze to my head halfway through speaking, I took off the headphones and looked at them carefully, and muttered: "I think the reason is in this pair of headphones, but from the outside, it is no different from ordinary headphones, could it be that the problem lies in the earphones?" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I looked at Lu Yong quite confidently and asked, "You must have opened it and checked it, right?" ”

Lu Yong nodded.

"Then tell me, where did these headphones get their hands on? Follow this clue and we will definitely gain something. "I was a little excited, as if I was going to catch the killer right away.

But Lu Yong's next words made the smile that had just emerged freeze on my face, "The inside of the earphones is very ordinary, and there is no trace of human touches, that is to say, there is indeed no sound around you at the time of the crime." ”

"It can't be! Killing people without making any sound, hum, what a hell! I pursed my lips, embarrassed by the overconfidence I had just had.

Lu Yong picked up the pen and wrote on the paper as he said: "This method of murder can be regarded as an unsolved doubt. And ......" He raised his head and handed me a photograph of the deceased's neck, a dark red to purple thick strangulation mark across it, and the blood vessels around the strangulation scar burst out, which can be seen with the fierceness of the murderer's murder, "There is also the murder weapon, after forensic identification, Li Qing was strangled to death by a rope with a diameter of about three centimeters, but we have not extracted the material fiber of the murder weapon from the strangulation marks, so it is not possible to judge what the murder weapon is for the time being." ”

"Didn't you search everyone that day, didn't you find anything at all?" I asked, puzzled.

Lu Yong shook his head, his tone was quite helpless, "Don't say it's a murder weapon on you, you don't even have anything like a rope." I also deliberately arranged for people to search the secret room and its surroundings repeatedly, but found nothing, the murderer could not destroy the evidence in such a short time, so where was the murder weapon hidden by him? ”

Lu Yong looked at me, saw that I didn't answer, and said: "This is the second doubt, and also, what do you think is the murderer's motive for committing the crime?" ”

"Revenge!" Without thinking, I replied, "The recording we heard in the secret room is what the murderer was going to say to the deceased. Three years ago......"

I suddenly remembered the only point in time that the terrifying voice had mentioned, and I frowned and pondered, repeating in my mouth, "There is another name, as if it were a woman's name... What is it called... It seems to be..."

"Lin Xi!"
