Chapter 9: The Crazy Old Man
Sister Liu smiled and continued: "However, the strange thing is that his statement of surrender is completely different from the results of the police investigation, and there is no conclusion in this case now. "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you go to the scene too? Then you should know that the deceased died the night before the body was found, that is, a few days before the 15th, and he didn't know where he died, so he was washed to this place by the river, but the old man said that he killed the deceased on the night of the 15th because of greed, took the money from the deceased, and threw the body into the Yangtze River. However, this is simply not possible, unless the deceased had a twin brother who happened to have been killed before and thrown into the Yangtze River, and then the old man killed the twin brother a few days later and threw it into the Yangtze River, and the elder brother's body was washed up at the scene of the crime where the younger brother was killed. “
Hearing this, I felt creepy on the one hand, and on the other hand, I felt the strength of fate, if this really happened, it was not a profound confirmation of the phrase "come out to mix, always have to be returned".
I immediately said, "Maybe the deceased really had a twin brother?" ”
The senior sister shook her head with a smile and said, "No, the police have found out the identity of the deceased, he has no twin brothers." ”
Because the deceased had the words of the ancient coffin on his body, I was very curious about the identity of the deceased, so I hurriedly asked, "Who is the deceased?" ”
"Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back."
"What? What are you going to say? "Do you know how the police found out who they were?"
I shook my head, already in a hurry. "The deceased's name is Zhang Sen, who was wanted for theft in the northern new district, the police saw the photo on the Internet, although the face of the corpse was difficult to identify, but the police still found that the deceased and the suspect were very similar, so they found Zhang Sen's family and did a DNA test, and now it is determined that it is Zhang Sen. Do you think this is going back? “
But I only care about the text. "What did he steal?"
"I don't know about this, it seems that I stole a rich family, and stole a lot of money!"
How did that cloth come from? Why do you want to bring a rag with you? I'm thinking about these questions. Senior sister interrupted me and said, "What do you want? "It's nothing, it's just that the amount of information is quite large. Did Zhang Sen steal the money? “
The senior sister still smiled, "Yes, otherwise what else can you steal?" Let's continue to talk about the old man, at first, the police thought that he should be frightened and dizzy, so he talked nonsense, so he immediately found a doctor to check, it turned out that he was really scared, and now he has some mental problems. ”
"What? Really scared out of your mind?"
"But it is not ruled out that he was mentally ill before and killed someone, but he was confused when he became ill, so he said that he was killed on the 15th. Or perhaps, he is mentally ill, talking nonsense, he didn't kill at all, and the murderer was someone else. ”
"This case is so difficult!"
"Yes, although the old man is in the police station now, he can only say that he has mixed up the lake."
At this time, Sister Liu's phone rang, she picked up the phone, although Sister Liu told me about it, but she was not responsible for the news, and she would not be very clear about the specific details. I thought about it and went to the police station to understand the situation by myself, so I whispered to Sister Liu, "Then I'll go back first." She nodded and I went back to my office.
I went back to the office and sent the photos to Lin Zihao's mailbox first, and then set off lightly. When I arrived at the police station, I expressed my intention to a policeman, and he looked at me and whispered, "Why is there such a big difference?" It was quiet, but my hearing was good, so I heard it, and I was about to ask him what the difference was, when he said, "Why is this thing so hot?" There are so many reporters coming, you have to wait, there is a reporter in there now. “
Who is it? Grab me again? Although I am only here to satisfy my curiosity, as long as it is not from our newspaper, it is an enemy.
I cautiously asked, "Handsome guy, which media is interviewing you?" “
He thought for a moment and said, "It seems like some unsolved mystery?" Something, I haven't seen it anyway. "
Unsolved mysteries? One word suddenly came to my mind, could it be Unknown magazine. "Is it 'Unknown'?" Yes, this is it! “
They actually came here to interview, I don't know if they were to cover this bizarre murder case alone, or if they also knew that this matter was related to the ancient coffin like me, so they came to investigate.
After checking out the basic situation with the police, I sat down and waited. The old man's name is Sun Mingkang, 62 years old this year, his wife died many years ago, he has no children, no relatives, and has always been alone.
I waited for about 10 minutes, and a tall woman came out of it, she had shoulder-length short hair, a tight dress, looking both capable and sexy, with a pair of phoenix eyes on her small melon seed face, and her eyes flowing, even I was a woman I thought it was too charming.
She walked out and said to the policeman, "Thank you, everything I want to know is clear." "So she's the reporter in there? I immediately understood the difference between what the police were saying, and I looked down at my short-sleeved T-shirt and baggy jeans, and there was indeed a big difference.
Seeing her turn around and prepare to leave, I didn't know what was going on, but my brain was hot and I came to her in an arrow step, and when I stood in front of her, I felt a little weak, because she was almost half a head taller than me.
Although my momentum had weakened, I still pretended to be calm and looked up and asked, "Are you a reporter for Unknown magazine?" “
She smiled and nodded, "Yes." “
I have to say that I was once again fascinated by her smile, and for a while, I didn't know what to say, I just came up on impulse to block her way.
Seeing that I didn't speak, she asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" “
Suddenly thinking of the matter of the ancient coffin, didn't they continue to investigate? I don't know how the investigation went. "I see you **, are you investigating the ancient coffin dug up by the stone bridge? What have you found out now? “
She was still smiling, "Aren't you investigating yourself?" Why are you still asking me? With that, she bypassed me and left.
I didn't react at once, I was stunned, it didn't make sense, we hadn't met before, if she hadn't talked to the police, I wouldn't have known who she was. How did she know that I was also a journalist and was investigating the matter? My picture was not published in the newspaper. By the time I reacted and wanted to ask her how she knew my identity, she was already gone.
The policeman just sat on the side, looking like he was watching a good show, and I felt a little embarrassed, so I asked, "Can I go in?"
"Well, I'm still waiting inside."
I went to the visitation room, and the old man sat across the table with a blank face. I sat down and noticed that he looked very different from what I had imagined, and he didn't look like a 62-year-old at all. Originally, I thought that he had a mental problem, and he should be crazy, but now it seems that he is very calm, with a gloomy face and murderous eyes, it is hard to imagine that he was still a psychopath talking nonsense last night.
Unexpectedly, he spoke first: "I won't say anything to you, you can go." “
Is this discrimination? Why did the previous reporter ask for so long, is it because he looks better than me? Hmph, it's just a little better than me, and it's just a little better than me today.
I didn't give up, ignored his words, and asked directly, "Do you know what is written on that piece of cloth?" "If he had really killed someone and taken something of value from the deceased, he would have seen that piece of cloth.
His expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. said: "I said I wouldn't talk to you about anything. ”
"Why? Did that woman tell you something? ”
He looked out the window, "Whatever you want, whatever you want." “
This sentence almost tore the last of my patience, and I still forced my anger to say, "I just want to know an answer, and you can answer me a question, okay?" ”
He still looked out the window and didn't answer me.
I simply got up and walked to the window to block his view, "I have no grievances with you, why do you just want to embarrass me?" You've been talking to her for so long, why don't you want to talk to me? ”
He looked at me and said, "You're right, why should I talk to you when we have nothing to do with each other?" ”
"But" Wait a minute, so does he have anything to do with the female reporter just now? "You know? Do you know the female reporter you just had? ”
He turned his head away and didn't speak, and I came up to him, "You're pretending to be mentally ill, aren't you?" You didn't kill people at all, so why deceive people? You won't get any good of that, will you? ”
"I just killed him, the first time I killed him, the second time I killed him!" Speaking of this, he was a little excited, and then began to say to me repeatedly: "I killed him, I killed someone!" Actually, I didn't want to, but it had already happened, and I had already killed him, so I had to do that. “
The faster he spoke, he suddenly stood up and pulled me to repeat the words, smiling wryly. I screamed in fright and tried to shake off his hand, but I couldn't break free, but he said to me with wide eyes, "Ah! He's coming for me again! What should I do, why can't I kill him like this? Why? “
The policeman heard my cries for help and rushed in and pulled him away, holding the old man's wrist that was red and my mind was always around his words. It wasn't until the police handed me a glass of water that I came to my senses and found myself sitting in a chair outside. Could it be that Sun Xian is really crazy? I don't know if he was pretending to be there, but it scared me. "You just questioned whether he killed someone, right?" The policeman asked. "As soon as we asked this question, he would get sick and keep saying that he had killed someone. He cares about it. "Why didn't you tell me in advance? That way I won't step on a mine. “
The policeman smiled embarrassedly and said, "I forgot, you were in a hurry just now." “
Looking at him like this, I suddenly thought of Jiang Yi, it's been so long, this guy hasn't given me a single message, and he must have thrown away my business card. These policemen are all the same, more things are better than less things, and I have seen such a thing, and I still have luck with him.
I was just about to leave the police station to report to the agency, when two people suddenly rushed in outside the door, looking so anxious, I didn't know what was wrong, I decided to stay first to hear what happened to them.
