Chapter 13 Reporting

——————————————————————————————————————

At noon the next day, I thought about it again and again and finally decided to call the police. I left Bu Jin alone at home and took a taxi to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

The process of reporting a crime is too tedious and tedious for me to go into too much detail here. In the end, the Public Security Bureau still accepted my report, after all, human life is at stake, and as soon as the police officers in the police station heard about the murder, they were all ready to go. It is true that after death, it is the family that grieves, but it is also a joy for the police to be able to take this opportunity to be promoted while doing justice. I know that such a statement will definitely attract a lot of disgust, but it is true. A series of things have made me understand that it is a foolish thing to avoid the facts.

The person who took up my case was Officer Liu Hanwen of the Public Security Bureau. Officer Liu Hanwen is a middle-aged man in his forties, with dark skin, big shoulders and a round waist, and he is a typical northeastern man. After listening to my description of the case, he told me something that surprised me very much.

At that time, Officer Liu Hanwen sat at one end of the desk, smoking a cigarette and saying, "Listening to your description, do you think that the person named Zhang Hefang murdered the security guard named Xiao He?" ”

I nodded, and then said, "Although I don't have any hard evidence, I did find the body of the deceased in the bathroom of that funeral home last night, uh...... It should be part of the corpse. ”

Officer Liu frowned as he wrote something on paper with a pen and said to himself, "Strange things, strange things." ”

I was surprised by his reaction and asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong with this?" ”

Officer Liu put down his pen and lifted his resolute and weather-beaten face, which alone showed that he was definitely an experienced police officer. He said to me, "Let's not mention this matter, Mr. Fan Peixi, there is one thing I have to remind you. ”

"You say." I said politely. On weekdays, I deeply admire people like him, and as I spoke, I even stepped forward to toast a cigarette.

Officer Liu waved his hand and said, "Quit it." Then he said: "Mr. Fan, you yourself just said that you have no conclusive evidence to prove that the person was killed by Zhang Hefang as you said, if the incident investigated is not consistent with what you said, aren't you afraid that the other party will sue you for slander?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and said timidly: "I haven't thought about this question. ”

After saying that, I felt that Officer Liu's words were a little strange. His words sounded like he was trying to dissuade me from reporting the crime. So, I then asked, "Officer Liu, what do you mean by the strange thing you just said?" ”

Officer Liu stood up, played with the crab claw orchid that was placed on the windowsill of the office balcony twice, and said, "That's right, just this morning, Zhang Hefang also came to report the case. ”

As soon as Officer Liu's words fell, I felt like a bolt from the blue. Zhang Hefang came to the police? What is this for? Although I am not completely sure that the murder was done by Zhang Hefang, I think it is also eight or nine ten. Zhang Hefang came to report the case, so doesn't it make sense to shout to catch the thief.

I suddenly thought of Zhang Hefang's deep and gloomy face, and my intuition told me that this person must not be simple. Not to mention whether he was a Gu Master or not, just saying that a person could show such a calm expression in that kind of thing last night was enough to prove that this person was extraordinary.

And after I heard Officer Liu's words, I felt like a cold sweat broke out on my back. Zhang Hefang is a person, the city government is too deep, he can come to report the case, there must be his reason, or rather, this may be another bureau he has laid out.

"Mr. Fan?" Officer Liu's voice interrupted my thoughts.

I looked up at Officer Liu again and saw that he was looking at me with a tentative and slightly suspicious look. I don't know why, but for a moment, I felt uncomfortable, as if everything I was thinking was clearly visible in the eyes of the old officer. This probably has something to do with his profession. I thought to myself, with Officer Liu's age, he must have interrogated a lot of prisoners, and in the process of those interrogations, he must have accumulated a lot of experience, sometimes, interrogating prisoners, does not require any high-end skills, a look of some old police officers, is enough to make some thieves recruit everything.

But I'm different, I think I'm not afraid of crooked shoes, and I say I haven't done anything bad, I'm afraid of what he's doing.

So, I asked, "Officer Liu, what case did Zhang Hefang report?" ”

Officer Liu walked around the office with his hands behind his back and said without even looking at me, "I reported a very bizarre case. ”

I didn't speak, waiting for Officer Liu's next words. At this time, he suddenly froze, then faced me directly, and said, "The corpse theft." ”

After hearing this, I immediately gasped, and said in my heart that I was really put on the spot by that Zhang Hefang, and hurriedly asked, "What did he say?" ”

Officer Liu smiled and said to me, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fan, this is confidential, I can't say it." ”

I have a little fire in my heart, and I can't say it, why are you telling me about this, is this not sure to lose my appetite. However, Officer Liu immediately added: "He said that this morning, the staff of his company found a headless female corpse in the office. ”

I wanted to ask again, but Officer Liu interrupted me again and said, "But, no matter what, the case you reported and the case he reported are two completely different things, so we will still deal with your case." You don't have to worry, we'll send someone to investigate in the afternoon. ”

"In that case, the headless female corpse ......"

Before I could finish my words, Officer Liu interrupted me and said, "We know very well the origin of the headless female corpse, it is your mother, that is, the body of your mother that was stolen a few days ago. ”

"How do you know about Lu Dao?" I jumped out of my chair in amazement.

"Of course, this is what Zhang Hefang said to me." Officer Liu said.

That afternoon, I followed Officer Liu and four or five other young police officers to the funeral home again.

Not long after entering the funeral home, I saw Zhang Hefang, who was still dressed in a dirty suit, but he looked very elegant and decent, of course, all thanks to his conversation and innate unique temperament.

To my surprise, Zhang Hefang seemed to have completely forgotten the events of last night, and when he saw me, with a trace of sadness and apology on his face, he strode up to me, held my hand, and then said to me in a heavy tone: "Mr. Fan, I'm really sorry, we found your mother's body in the office this morning, but ......" He paused and continued: "I can't believe that your mother's head was cut off." On behalf of all the staff of our funeral home, I would like to apologize to you, and we will definitely compensate you accordingly for the mental damage caused. ”

These few words are said appropriately, if others sound it, I am afraid that they will really think that this is a very reliable funeral home manager. But when I listened to him, I had an indescribable feeling of disgust.

I still remember the events of last night, but right now, this Zhang Hefang appeared in front of me with an innocent face. I'm afraid that even if the Oscar winner came, he wouldn't be able to act like he was at that time.

But what can I say?

Do you want me to tell Officer Liu and the young police officers about my experience in the office last night? If I did, I wouldn't have been caught in a psychiatric hospital.

After thinking about it for a while, I really had no other way but to nod my head solemnly. I knew that this was a bit of a trick, but I really had to do it at the time.

It is worth mentioning that I deliberately paid attention to Zhang Hefang's feet at that time - there is a shadow, it seems that he is indeed a person.

At this time, Zhang Hefang turned his head to Officer Liu again and asked, "Officer Liu, didn't you already let you carry the body away, why did you come again?" ”

Officer Liu pretended to look around casually and said, "There's nothing very special, it's just that this Mr. Fan said that he found a dead body in the toilet of your funeral home last night, so I'll take someone to take a look." ”

Zhang Hefang showed a very surprised expression and said, "There is such a thing? How do I not know the way? ”

As soon as I heard that, I debunked him and said, "You don't know what to do? How could you not know the Tao? Last night, you were there. ”

"Me?" Zhang Hefang pointed at himself and said, "Mr. Fan, you said you saw me last night?" ”

"Nonsense!" I said.

Officer Liu looked at me and then at Zhang Hefang, but he didn't speak, but his expression told me that he was starting to become suspicious of me.

Zhang Hefang shook his head and said, "Mr. Fan, I have already said just now, it is indeed a dereliction of duty for our company to lose your mother's body, but you can't slander me because of this." Here I am, I leave work at five o'clock every day, and I never come back. If you don't believe me, the old man at the door can testify for me. ”

"He was asleep." I said.

"Oh? Really? Zhang Hefang immediately asked his employees to find Old Man Sun.

Old man Sun is an old man in his sixties, with terrible thin hair, but he looks very honest and even a little sloppy, so I guess he will tell the truth.

After Old Man Sun came, Zhang Hefang asked: "Old Uncle Sun, this gentleman said that you fell asleep during the shift last night, is there such a thing?" ”

Old man Sun looked at Zhang Hefang, revealing a frightened expression. As soon as I saw it, I knew that the road was broken, and in order to keep his job, this old man Sun would definitely not admit the fact that he fell asleep at night.

Sure enough, the old man Sun said, "I never sleep when I play the watch." ”

"Have you ever seen me come to the funeral home?" Zhang Hefang asked again.

Old man Sun glanced at the few people present and replied in a very small voice: "I didn't see anyone, and even if there were, they must have sneaked in." ”

Zhang Hefang smiled and said to Officer Liu: "Officer Liu, you also heard it, I came to my own funeral home, do I have to sneak in, this is not logical." ”

However, Officer Liu only listened and watched, and did not say anything. I knew that at this time, he must be trying his best to find a loophole in the dialogue between me and Zhang Hefang.

"Stinky old man, you lie, this matter is a matter of human life, do you know the way, give your descendants some virtue." I yelled.

At this time, two young policemen stopped me and warned me not to be too impulsive.

Zhang Hefang sighed and said, "If Mr. Fan is still determined, then let's go to the bathroom here to take a look, the current criminal investigation technique is so developed, if there is blood stains in the bathroom, it will definitely be found." Right, Officer Liu. ”

Officer Liu nodded, and Zhang Hefang led us to the toilet of the funeral home.

As soon as I entered the bathroom, I was blindfolded, and not only was there no blood here, but even the water tank hanging on the wall was intact.

Zhang Hefang smiled at me and said, "Mr. Fan, there are a total of six compartments here, you said you saw the dead body last night, which one did you see it in?" ”

Where did I have time to answer his words, I immediately took two steps back, and muttered: "Impossible, impossible, how can there be no trace at all, at least there should be a trace." ”

At this time, Officer Liu patted me on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter, we will use the most advanced equipment to check if there is any blood stains here." After speaking, Officer Liu rushed to Zhang Hefang again and said: "However, it is a matter of human life, no matter what, since someone called the police, then we have the obligation to investigate, and this place will be closed immediately." ”

Zhang Hefang did not resist, but said: "That is naturally the way it should be, I don't object to your opinion at all, however, I have a question for Mr. Fan." ”

Officer Liu turned his head to look at me, and I was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Zhang Hefang took a step in front of me and said, "You said you saw a dead body here last night, so who is that dead body?" ”

"Who else?" I asked rhetorically: "Last night, you still said it, isn't that the security guard!" ”

"Who?" Zhang Hefang asked.

"Xiao He! It's the young security guard. I said.

Zhang Hefang suddenly smiled at this time and said, "Mr. Fan, I think you must have made a mistake, the staff here can all testify that our funeral home has never had a security guard surnamed He." ”
