Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Last Phone Call
All speculations are just speculations, and without conclusive evidence, conclusions cannot be made. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and the clues that Mu Sen currently has are still very scattered. He thought that Mo Zidi's autopsy would bring more favorable clues, but in the end, it seemed to shroud them in a fog.
This is probably a less than ideal result.
But the good thing is that if there is a bad side to everything, there will be a relatively smooth side. In the afternoon, the police officers under Captain Wu had already found out the identities of the two female corpses.
Mu Sen couldn't wait to get the report immediately, and carefully looked at the information on the source of the corpse.
The first deceased was named Xu Lin, a 26-year-old human resources director of a company. The second deceased is named An Yang, who runs his own beauty salon and is also 26 years old this year. Except for their age, there is no correlation between them. Their families started to report the case on the second and third days of their disappearance, and their lives were very regular, nothing more than work, gym, going home and so on. There were no signs of anything unusual before the accident, and they just disappeared suddenly, and no one knew where they had gone.
The only thing that caught Mu Sen's attention was that before Xu Lin disappeared, she had made a phone call home. Because there was a monthly family gathering at her home that day, she was originally scheduled to go home for dinner directly after work, but on the same day, Xu Lin called and said that she might go home a little later. And just like that, she never went back.
Therefore, the last call before Xu Lin's accident attracted Mu Sen's strong attention, and he felt that the reason that could cause Xu Lin to temporarily change his itinerary was probably the murderer.
Based on this speculation, Mu Sen decided to meet Xu Lin's family.
It is an extremely painful thing for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, not to mention such a beautiful and excellent daughter, and her parents regard it as a pearl in their palms. After hearing about Xu Lin's bad news, Xu Lin's parents were immersed in painful grief and could not extricate themselves.
When Mu Sen brought Mo Zitong to Xu Lin's house, even they couldn't help but be infected by that sad atmosphere.
Xu Lin's parents had already recognized the body, but fortunately, at that time, Mo Ziqi had tried his best to make Xu Lin's condition look better. But no one can find her eyes for her. The blood holes of the black holes have become the eternal shadow of her parents.
Mussen was reluctant to bother them at such a time, forcing them to remember those painful memories. But there is no way, if you don't catch the murderer, even if you find your eyeballs, I believe that girl will never be able to look away. In order to solve the case, Mu Sen had to do this seemingly cruel thing.
"I hope you can understand, I came to bother just to find the murderer quickly and give an explanation to the deceased and the deceased's family." This was the first thing Mo Ziqi said after sitting down at Xu Lin's house. Mu Sen is not good at comforting people, so in this case, Mo Zitong will do it for him.
Fortunately, Xu Lin's parents also seem to be reasonable people. They nodded sadly, indicating that they understood. But as soon as she saw the case-handling staff, Xu Lin's mother couldn't help crying.
Mussen didn't want to waste time asking questions that were already written on the paper, and avoiding reminding them of more painful memories. So Mu Sen came up and directly asked the question he was most concerned about: "Excuse me, what is the specific content of Xu Lin's last call to you?" Did she have anything unusual on the phone? Or, did you hear any particular sound on the other end of the phone? ”
Xu Lin's mother couldn't cry for a long time, but her father rubbed her tears and said: "That day was the day of our family gathering, and it was supposed to be good, she would leave work early and go home directly after work." Usually she would be home around eight o'clock, but by half past seven that day, she hadn't come back yet. Her mother was a little anxious, after all, the whole family was waiting for her to come home for dinner. Just as we were about to call her, she called us first. ”
Xu Lin's father sighed slightly, as if to stabilize his emotions. Mussen listened intently, and waited patiently for him to continue.
"Linlin has always been very sensible, she is afraid that we will be worried when she comes home late, so she will call us every time she works overtime. When she called that day, I answered it. She said she might come back a little twenty minutes late, let's not wait, eat first. I asked her if the company was working overtime temporarily. She said no. I didn't hear anything unusual about her tone, seeing that she was in a hurry to hang up the phone, I was afraid of delaying her work, so I didn't ask more......" Speaking of this, Xu Lin's father began to choke.
Wiping away his tears, he finally couldn't help crying: "Every time her mother answers the phone, she is very nagging, asking this and that, I am afraid that the child will be annoying, so I never ask more." But...... But if I asked more that day, maybe Linlin wouldn't have had an accident! ”
Xu Lin's father's bitter crying and self-blame made Xu Lin's mother even more painful. The two middle-aged people, who were originally very young, suddenly looked a lot older.
Mu Sen wanted to persuade him, but was gently stopped by Mo Zitong. At this time, no matter what you persuade, it is pale, and if it is not your turn, you will never be able to truly empathize with yourself. So, instead of talking about those useless festivals, it is better to give them some time to vent the pain in their hearts.
After a while, Xu Lin's father relieved himself and said, "That's the thing, we waited for her for a night, and she didn't come back." Linlin would never do such a thing, so we reported the crime. I didn't expect ......" As he spoke, Xu Lin's father couldn't cry again.
Mu Sen handed them two tissues, and then asked softly, "Are you sure that Xu Lin didn't have anything unusual when he called?" ”
"No, she seemed to be in a hurry to do something, but it didn't seem like something dangerous or terrible. So we told us we would be back twenty minutes late, and let's eat first. Xu Lin's father told Mu Sen with certainty.
Mu Sen nodded, then thought about it, and asked Xu Lin's parents, "Can I go and see Xu Lin's room?" ”
Xu Lin's father nodded silently while wiping his tears.
Mu Sen and Mo Zitong came to Xu Lin's room on the second floor, gently turned the doorknob and opened the door. Xu Lin's family conditions are good, and the decoration in the bedroom is simple but exquisite.
As soon as he entered the door, Mu Sen whispered: "We all know that a person's personality and living habits can be seen from the style and furnishings of a person's bedroom. Xu Lin's life is very healthy, and she herself has no undesirable hobbies. has taste, connotation, and is indeed an excellent girl. As he spoke, Mu Sen picked up a book on Xu Lin's bedside, and then shook it at Mo Zitong and said, "Not everyone can understand Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude". ”
Mo Ziqi nodded and said, "That's right, I took a look at the books on her shelves, and they were all good." In addition to literature and the like, there are also some things about yoga and flower knowledge. Xu Lin is a woman who knows how to cultivate her mind and temperament, so it seems that she is unlikely to be easily deceived by two strange men. ”
"But she has weaknesses." Mu Sen tapped his fingers on a few pet/object magazines on the desk and said, "People who like small animals too much are usually very kind and soft-hearted by nature. Because of kindness, it is also easy to be deceived. ”
"But being able to become the HR director of a large company at this age, does this also prove that Xu Lin has a high IQ and brain? As you just said, not everyone can understand "One Hundred Years of Solitude". Mo Ziqi reminded Mu Sen that Xu Lin was not a simple and stupid girl.
Mu Sen sighed slightly, stood in front of the enlarged photo hanging on the wall, and said regretfully: "She is really good, and she is very beautiful." These eyes are indeed beautiful. In the photo hanging on the wall, Xu Lin is smiling like a flower. With long black hair, light fat powder, and delicate and perfect facial features, it is very classical.
Mo Ziqi turned around, stretched out his finger and gently touched the inner corner of the bookshelf, then looked at his finger and said, "The room is spotless, no privacy has been found, and there are no ulterior secrets. Most of the clothes in the wardrobe are professional, and the rest are more casual. Xu Lin's life is very positive, and she can rule out the possibility of getting into trouble herself. ”
"Well, and she didn't hide it from her parents, she really doesn't have a boyfriend." Mu Sen looked at Xu Lin's dresser and desk. Whether a woman is single or not, one looks at her personal belongings, and the other looks at her communication records. Mussen can't be wrong about this.
And Mo Ziqi was not surprised, he looked around the room again and said: "The more excellent the girl, the easier it is to be 'left'." Because there are not many men who are worthy of them, and the principle of excellent people is 'not compromised'. ”
"Are you talking about yourself?" Mussen quipped.
Seeing that Mo Ziyan glanced at himself, Mu Sen turned back to the topic with some boredom, and said seriously: "Usually in women's rooms, there will be some warm-colored things, or cute items such as plush toys. But Xu Lin's room is not, blue is the main color, blue and white, clean and fresh. She doesn't have so many girlish fantasies, she is very capable, very motivated, like a strong woman in the workplace. Such a person, when he encounters trouble, has the absolute ability to deal with it freely. ”
So what was it that made her miss even family gatherings instead of doing them? Obviously, 95% of the people who made her change her itinerary at that time were murderers. What does a completely strange man have to do to keep Xu Lin and leave her defenseless? Mo Zitong raised the doubts in his heart.
Mu Sen was a little distracted, he touched his chin, and said thoughtfully: "This is probably the most incomprehensible part of the whole case." There are some speculations, and I need to think again......"
