The smoke of the incense candles wafted away, and Shen Zezhi glanced at it and turned around to boil water to make tea. But in a quarter of an hour, when Shen Zezhi came over with two cups of tea, he saw a man in white clothes and white hair sniffing the smoke from the incense candle with an intoxicated face.

Shen Zezhi put the teacup on the coffee table in front of him and said, "Impermanence, please." ”

The person who came was Bai Wuchang, which Shen Zezhi didn't expect, and according to his estimate, it would be good to have an ordinary ghost. Unexpectedly, Bai Wuchang, one of the two major cadres under Lu Ju, was willing to sell him this face.

It's not the first time Bai Wuchang has dealt with Shen Zezhi, if nothing else, Shen Zezhi is also very close to him. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, frowned, and did not speak.

Shen Zezhi laughed when he saw him: "Let Impermanence Jun see it, I really don't know how to make tea." ”

Bai Wuchang nodded: "Indeed, it's a pity for this good tea." ”

Shen Zezhi said: "I invited you over this time to ask about something. ”

Bai Wuchang looked at him and said, "You say." ”

Shen Zezhi: "There was a serial murder case in the town, and I checked it for the past few days and found that it was a ghost case. ”

Bai Wuchang frowned: "Ghost case? Someone's dead? ”

Shen Zezhi nodded: "Dao is already five lives now. ”

Bai Wuchang frowned: "The Five Lives Difu will not be unnoticed, wait for me to go back and check." ”

Shen Zezhi said politely: "Thank you, please impermanence Jun as soon as possible." ”

Bai Wuchang said: "I know this. ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Wuchang disappeared. Shen Zezhi sat on the spot and drank tea before resting.

Early the next morning, Shen Zezhi went to the office, he pushed open the door and saw that Ji Ziyue was busy holding a bun in one hand and a mouse in the other.

Shen Ze was stunned and said, "Ziyue, you haven't slept all night, have you?" ”

Ji Ziyue turned his head and saw Shen Zezhi and said with a smile: "How can it, I just got up." He pointed to the buns on the table and said, "The team leader must not have had breakfast, I brought you breakfast." ”

Shen Zezhi smiled and picked up the buns and soy milk on the table and walked to Ji Ziyue's desk to watch him busy. "Has there been any progress?" he asked. ”

Ji Ziyue shook his head: "Not yet, I haven't found any shops that sell red dresses to send clothes here." ”

Shen Zezhi ate breakfast and said, "Is it too slow to check like this?" ”

Kiko Yue said: "Yes, but there is no way. Although this is a ghost case, it is easier to start with a living person. Speaking of this, Ji Ziyue said again: "I have already asked people to send the red dress for material analysis, maybe there will be a harvest." ”

Shen Zezhi said: "Okay." ”

Kiko asked, "What did you gain over there?" ”

Shen Zezhi said: "I asked the ghost to ask about it, but he doesn't know it now, so he can only go back to investigate." ”

Ji Ziyue analyzed: "If this woman in red is really a ghost, and she still wants to come back and kill people when she is dead, then there must be some deep hatred." But none of the five victims in this case look like people who can have a deep hatred for others. ”

Shen Zezhi nodded, Ji Ziyue was right. That's the most puzzling part of this case. The victims are all young girls, none of them have bad habits, no complicated social relationships, how can such a person provoke such a big hatred.

Ji Ziyue said again: "Could it be that the victims are more unlucky, the female ghosts are just killing people indiscriminately, and they just happened to meet them." ”

Shen Zezhi thought for a while and said: "Impossible, if the female ghost is really killing people indiscriminately, why does she bother so much to make them die differently one by one." ”

Kikoyue nodded: "Yes." Speaking of which, this female ghost is really inexplicable. ”

The case was found at a loss, and Shen Zezhi and Ji Ziyue checked in the office for a day, but they didn't find any clues. It was noon in a blink of an eye, and Shen Zezhi and Ji Ziyue went to the cafeteria to eat together.

Shen Zeyi was thinking about the case while eating, and suddenly, he heard Ji Ziyue say: "Uncle Shen said that every time he sees a female ghost walking over the road in front of their house. Wouldn't it be too coincidental. ”

Shen Ze's heart moved, yes. Why does the female ghost pass by his door every time? Don't?

"Could the female ghost die around there?" Shen Ze's way.

Ji Ziyue nodded: "I think so too." Also, Uncle Shen said that female ghosts wear a red skirt every time. She was certainly not wearing the same dress that the victim was wearing. So it's very likely that she was wearing a red dress when she died. ”

Shen Zezhi said: "This case is obviously not done by the female ghost alone, so what is the relationship between the person who helped her and her?" ”

Ji Ziyue guessed: "Could it be that the case of the female ghost's death is a case that has already been investigated?" ”

Shen Zezhi's eyes lit up, they had been speculating that the female ghost must have been killed by someone, but no one knew, so they were angry and turned into a ghost to ask for their lives. But if this case is a case that has been investigated, but the real culprit has not been sanctioned. Such words also explain why someone helped the female ghost to take revenge.

Kikokotsu stood up and said, "I'll go to the archives to check." ”

Shen Zezhi said: "Okay." ”

After Ji Ziyue left, he also left the cafeteria, and the more Ji Zi went to check the line of female ghosts, Shen Zezhi had to touch the clues provided by Shen Shan again. In fact, Shen Zezhi has always been skeptical of Shen Shan's words.

Once or twice, it can be said to be a coincidence, and every time Shen Shan met him, Shen Zezhi didn't feel that it was still a coincidence. There must have been something he ignored, or Shen Shan was lying. If Shen Shan really misled them to handle the case, Shen Zezhi's eyes were dark, and they were bound to take many detours.

Shen Zezhi drove in the direction of Shen Shan's house, this time his speed was very slow, and Shen Zezhi paid attention to his surroundings all the way. This is a very secluded road, and Shen Ze did not encounter a single car along the way. He didn't even see it personally. Soon his car arrived in front of Shen Shan's house, the door was locked, and Shen Shan was not there. Shen Zezhi's car stopped slightly, and then drove forward.

On the left side of the road is farmland, and on the right side there is a drainage ditch, but the ditch is dry and there is no water. Eventually, his car drove to the garbage dump, which was the same as the last time he came, where many scavengers were digging through the garbage.

Shen Zezhi thought about it and got out of the car. He casually walked to the garbage dump, he observed, and came to a middle-aged man. The man was dirty and torn, and one of his right arms had been amputated from the lower arm, and he was disabled.

Shen Zezhi walked over and gave the middle-aged scavenger a cigarette and asked, "Are you from the town?" ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Shen Ze, took his cigarette and lit it with his hand. He took a deep breath before saying, "No." ”

From his accent, Shen Zezhi could tell that he was not a local, but he should have been in the town for several years.

Shen Zezhi asked, "How many years have you been in town?" ”

The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed, and he looked Shen Zezhi up and down: "You are a policeman?" ”

Shen Zezhi smiled and asked rhetorically, "How can you tell that I am a policeman?" ”

The middle-aged man bit the cigarette in his mouth and said vaguely: "There was a murder in the town, who doesn't know about it." I heard that the police came from Pingjing a few days ago to investigate this case, but unfortunately it didn't seem to have any skills, so I left within two days. But you shouldn't be a police officer in the town, and listening to your accent, you're from Pingjing. So you didn't leave. ”

Shen Zezhi said: "Well, the case has not been investigated. ”

The middle-aged man said: "What are you doing in our garbage dump to investigate this case, is it possible that you think the murderer is the person from the garbage dump." No way

Target. ”

Shen Zezhi asked, "How is it impossible?" ”

The man glanced at him and said, "The people who come here to beg for a living are poor and can't get by, and if they kill someone, they must be for money." The people in the town said that the women had been killed, but they had not lost a penny of money, and they had not been wasted. This kind of thing that is not beneficial, they will only do it if they are idle. ”

Shen Zezhi pinched his cigarette and said, "It makes sense." He asked, "Do you know the family in front of you?" ”

The middle-aged man said, "Are you talking about Old Man Shen?" ”

Shen Zezhi nodded.

He said, "I know, but I'm not familiar with it." But no one in the whole town is familiar with him. ”

"Huh? How to say. Shen Zezhi looked at him and said.

The middle-aged man said: "I've been in the town for almost ten years, and I've never seen him deal with anyone. Old man Shen is usually very gloomy, and sometimes you feel cold when he looks at you. Panic. ”

Shen Zezhi: "Oh, I think he's quite enthusiastic." ”

The middle-aged man said, "Have you asked him?" Did he talk to you? ”

Shen Zezhi said: "Yes, although people are quite cold, they can say anything when they ask." ”

The middle-aged man said: "You are a policeman, I guess he won't dare to mess with you." ”

Shen Zezhi asked: "You have been in the town for so many years, have you ever heard of any murders in this neighborhood, and the victim is a woman." ”

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and shook his head affirmatively: "No." ”

Shen Zezhi nodded, and he gave the remaining cigarette boxes and cigarette boxes to the middle-aged man before leaving. On the way home, he kept thinking, could he have thought wrong before? Also, what's going on with Shen Shan, the Shen Shan they saw was a little different from the Shen Shan in the mouth just now. Could it really be that he was lying?

When Shen Zezhi returned to the office, he happened to meet Ji Ziyue who came back from the archives, and Shen Zezhi looked at him listlessly and said, "No gain." ”

Ji Ziyue said: "I have checked all the cases that are within the prosecution period, and none of them are in line with our speculation. Could it be that we are thinking wrong? ”

Shen Zezhi was silent for a while when he heard this, and suddenly he stood up and said, "Our speculation is not wrong, you have checked the cases that are within the prosecution period, and there are still cases that have exceeded the prosecution period!" ”

As soon as Shen Zezhi said this, Ji Ziyue understood. In fact, cases that have exceeded the prosecution period are more likely. Because the prosecution period has passed, there will be such retaliation. However, the criminal law has a prosecution period of 20 years, and 20 years ago the oldest of the victims was six years old, and the youngest was not even born.

Shen Zezhi obviously thought of this, and he said, "Don't worry about this, let's check what is going on in that case first." ”
