Chapter 2: The Horrific Murder in the Locked Room
When the big 'door' was opened, a strong stench came to my face. ,:。 [^Small^ said. The "door" is the entrance, and behind the entrance is the living room, and the old "milk" and "milk" of this family are naked. He hanged himself from the beam of the living room.
At that time, this scene almost scared away the people who watched the excitement, which made it convenient for the police to investigate the scene. However, the death of this person made the police a little 'hairy'. When the old lady died, she had a black 'colored' garbage bag on her head, and the bag was tightly tied to her neck. The police were unable to identify the person in the first place.
When the body was lowered from the beams of the room, the outer pockets were unfastened, and the faces of real people were revealed, and the people present were shocked.
The old 'milk' and 'milk' bodies show two states, with the neck as the dividing line, the body below the neck can be seen that the old lady is usually well maintained, white and fat, except for some organs sagging, there are basically no folds. But the part of the skull above the neck, which is sealed by a garbage bag, is very scary. The face is covered with overlapping wrinkles, like a knife and axe, the skin is loose and exudes a gray-like death feeling, the forehead is half-bald, and the sparse gray-white 'color' hair is draped behind the head. Judging by the physiognomy, this person has to be ninety years old if he is not a hundred years old.
That is, with the neck as the boundary. The head belongs to a centenarian, while the body belongs to a sixty-year-old. After a later examination, the old lady was herself, and her head had not been replaced, and her old face was naturally aging.
There was also a very special feeling about the deceased's face, which the police couldn't see, but Xie Ling keenly observed.
He said to me, "I have seen pictures of dead people, and the appearance of this old lady reminds me of a very old photograph. It was at the beginning of the last century, when the Qing Dynasty had just fallen, and an American videographer once took a photo of an old eunuch. This eunuch was more than eighty years old. His face is full of wrinkles and his face is extremely strange. Do you know what's wrong? ”
I listened attentively and shook my head.
Xie Ling said: "Because of the special physiological structure of eunuchs. made this old eunuch look like an old woman in his old age, that is, he completely blurred the state of 'sex', and he couldn't tell whether it was an old man or an old lady at all. At that time, when I saw the photo of the old lady in the case of destroying the 'door', my first reaction was this. After the old lady's death, not only did her face deteriorate excessively, but her facial features showed no 'sexual' blurring. I can't see a man or a woman. ”
I listened to the 'hairy' and swallowed my saliva and asked, "Why is this?" ”
Xie Ling shook his head: "I don't know." Didn't I sue you, this is a murder without a motive, and even the murderer can't confirm who it is. ”
"You go on." I urged.
At this time, he unleashed the bell and beckoned to take a taxi and pulled me into the car with him. He told the driver an address, and I vaguely heard that it was Xixiang County. I was startled and whispered, "Where are we going?" ”
Xie Ling smiled: "You thought of it, yes, now we are going to the scene of the murder." I've been to that place a few times, and I'm going to take you there now to see if there's anything new to discover. ”
Hearing our 'talk', the taxi driver almost drove the car into a ditch, and we knew that in this situation, we couldn't 'talk 'randomly'. I had no choice but to put away my curiosity and remain silent.
About two hours later, we arrived at the county seat and got off the bus on the side of the road. Xie Ling took me to the community where the accident occurred.
On the way, he continued.
The police quickly inspected the entire room and found three more bodies in the bathroom. The three bodies were the 'female' owner of the house and the two children. A 'girl' is 19 years old and a boy is 10 years old.
Hearing this, I silently calculated, this is still a family with many children. We have a local custom that if the first child is a 'girl', you can have another child. Therefore, in rural counties, the children of many families are sisters and brothers.
The three corpses were in the same state as the old 'milk' and 'milk' outside, but instead of hanging in the air, they were tied hand and foot with wire and thrown into the bathtub. They were all covered with black and colored garbage bags with wire at the mouth of the bags, and after investigation, they died of suffocation.
In other words, in addition to the male owner, the other members of this family include his wife, two children, and the male owner's mother, which is the old 'milk' and 'milk', and a total of four people all died tragically. Naturally, the police regarded the man as the first suspect.
The most bizarre thing is that after the three corpses in the bathroom uncovered their heads, they were actually bounded by necks, and the bodies below were normal, while the heads became extremely old, like old people who were dying, including the two dead children.
This case is quite bizarre, it's just a simple murder, but why is there such a bizarre situation?
After forensic autopsy, it was found that the four corpses contained an unknown toxin that could paralyze nerves and cause drowsiness. The strange physiological changes in the four corpses may have been caused by this unknown toxin.
Among the children is a nineteen-year-old 'adult', a 'girl', but it is unlikely that he will be able to subdue it easily. Police examined the body and found no signs of struggle, with few recent wounds. In other words, the murderer first used this unknown toxin to numb these people, and then calmly carried out the abuse.
From this point of view, the murderer did not come up temporarily, but planned for a while. Then the question comes back, who did it, is it the male host?
The man's name is Yao Guochen, who is a rich man in the local area, and opened an inn near the bus station, because of the geographical advantages, and he also has business acumen, he has set up a restaurant on the first floor, so there are many customers and he has made a lot of money.
Now is the time when his career is thriving, how could he do such a crazy thing and destroy his future? And after investigation, Yao Guochen is a big person, has a lot of friends, is cheerful and cheerful, and has a virtuous wife and filial piety at home. His father died early, and his mother single-handedly pulled him up, needless to say about the relationship between mother and son, how could such a person make a move to destroy the family?
"And now what about this man?" I asked.
Xie Ling shook his head: "I don't know, it's missing." The police have issued a wanted warrant and mobilized the surrounding surveillance video to check, but Yao Guochen seemed to evaporate out of thin air and disappeared without a trace. Officer Liao probably found his traces before the accident. If this person did all these things, then he was a dangerous person. ”
That's when we arrived at the community. may be because of the murder, there are not many people in the community, and it looks very 'gloomy'. We arrived in front of a residential building and walked into the hallway, which was very narrow and not well lit.
"This place is 'yin' enough." I say.
Xie Ling is very strict: "The 'yin' qi is very heavy, I have a feeling that this case will be very, very strange and tricky, let's fight the 'spirit'." He used two "very" in a row.
When we came to a house on the second floor, there was a yellow 'colored' police cordon at the entrance of the big 'gate'. The bell was lightly touched, and the 'door' was unlocked, and a crack was opened.
He was about to get under the yellow cordon, and I grabbed him. He looked at me suspiciously, and I muttered, "Xie Ling, don't you think this situation is familiar?" "Bu chatters to the technique.
Xie Ling thought about it and smiled: "It's very similar." I remember a long time ago, in order to help your sister Luo Xiaomi, we went to a murder house to investigate the suicide of a blind man named Liu Dong. ”
I looked at the scene in front of me and was a little scared: "Jieling, I have a very bad feeling, it seems that we are back again." This feeling of déjà vu made me very uncomfortable. ”
The bell patted me on the shoulder and got inside. I 'rubbed' 'rubbed' my aching head and followed. The house is large, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and because it has been vacant for a long time, the room is covered with black 'color' dust.
Xie Ling whispered: "No one has entered the house, and it is still in the same state as when the police investigated the scene." ”
I don't know about the field investigation, I just feel uncomfortable here, there is a very strange silence, and this silence is overwhelming. It can be seen that the 'woman' owner is very capable, and the furniture is well arranged, and if the layout here is the scene of the murder at that time, it means that the murderer did not destroy anything here. This also makes the suspicion of the male protagonist Yao Guochen higher, because the murderer is not trying to make money or 'sex'.
At this time, I saw the white 'colored' curtains in front of the window swaying and shaking gently, and I said in a casual way: "The window is not closed? ”
We walked to the window, and the bell gently lifted the corner of the curtain, and I saw that the window was not only tightly closed, but also had adhesive tape in the gaps, and it was completely closed. Curtains are windless automatic? I'm a little scared.
Xie Ling fell into deep thought, he said: "There are many unbelievable places in this case, and the biggest suspicion is here. When the police investigated the scene, they found that the windows below were glued with adhesive tape, and the locks of the 'doors' were not broken, including the large 'doors' and bathrooms. In other words, this murder scene is completely a secret room. ”
"Suppose Yao Guochen killed someone, how did he leave this room?" I asked.
"The police gave a very far-fetched reason, after committing the crime, the murderer left through the big 'door', and then used wire as an aid to lock the 'door', creating the illusion of murder in a closed room." However, I carefully inspected the large 'door' outside, and there was no trace of the wire lock. ”
I swallowed and said, "After the murderer killed, he sealed all the rooms and disappeared quietly in this secret room?" ”
