Chapter 255: Night Detective
Shen Cheng also found this problem, he asked people to take the original of those 100-yuan bills, and after a while, dozens of 100-yuan bills in the identification bag appeared in our hands, followed by several photos of the original form of the 100-yuan bills. Compared to the photo, the real bill has been flattened.
When the 100-dollar bills were taken out of the deceased's pockets by the appraisers, some of them had already been crumpled. Looking at the photo, it doesn't look like it was deliberately crumpled, but because the pocket is too small, and the big bill is forced in. It is worth noting that the large bills were separated, not stacked in a stack and put in a pocket.
This makes me even more bizarre, it doesn't seem like the money was put in my pocket at the same time, but like it was stuffed into one by one.
Shen Cheng quickly told my speculation.
The existing clues are very scattered, the construction site is haunted, and the 100 yuan bill on the deceased's body, we have no way to determine whether these have anything to do with the death of the deceased.
Shen Cheng frowned and returned the photo and the big bill to the criminal police: "Have you found the identity of the deceased?" Shen Cheng asked.
Identifying the deceased is crucial, and only when the deceased is identified can we know why he went to a very remote and haunted construction site with so much money in his pocket in the middle of the night. We can also investigate whether or not we have a vendetta through the identity of the deceased.
The criminal police shook his head, it was already dark, and the police still did not find the identity of the deceased. The criminal police in the residential area closest to the construction site had already asked from house to house, so the deceased did not live near the construction site.
Shen Cheng nodded, and asked them to get out the trace identification report at the scene as soon as possible and find the identity of the deceased. Subsequently, Shen Cheng asked me to go out with him, and Shen Cheng strode out of the police station, I didn't ask anything, and followed. Shen Cheng walked to the car and asked me, "Go to the construction site to see, do you dare?" ”
I didn't answer Shen Cheng, I just opened the car door and got into the car, he thought the same as me, I also wanted to go to the construction site at night.
No one visited the site at night after construction stopped, so it is unknown whether the so-called haunting continued. Soon, the car stopped outside the construction site and looked at the watch, it was about ten o'clock in the evening.
The construction site has been cordoned, and Shen Cheng and I crossed the cordon with a flashlight. It was pitch black and it wasn't raining, but there wasn't even a bit of moonlight. Under the beam of the flashlight, the piles of sand piled up around them looked like uninhabited graves in mass graves.
Shen Cheng walked quickly, the construction site was actually very large, and the building near the victim's death was only one of the construction sites, and it was also the only one that had begun to take shape. According to the eyewitnesses, everyone found it in a very dark corner, so we focused on the dark corner.
The construction site was very dirty, and some corners had been used by workers for a long time to relieve their hands, and we had just approached and smelled a bad smell of urine. Shen Cheng and I went around the huge construction site, but we couldn't find the thing everyone saw. During our search, we surveyed the terrain and found that the site was surrounded by a makeshift wall, but there was more than one exit.
At the back of the construction site, there was a small door, the door was ajar, and when we pushed the door open, we found that the rear of the construction site was overgrown with weeds.
"That person should have entered the construction site from here, and after the pretending to be a ghost, he should have left the factory through here." Shen Cheng said.
I nodded, agreeing with Shen Cheng's words. The place where everyone was working and resting was relatively close to the main entrance, and if he went in and out of the main entrance, it was impossible for everyone not to find out. There are no surveillance cameras on the road in front of the main entrance, let alone the overgrown wasteland behind the construction site.
Even if everyone finds that the figure of that person catches up, if he runs into the grass, it will be difficult for everyone to find a trace.
After a while, we circled back to the building where the body was found. Shen Cheng raised the flashlight, and the gloomy building looked even more gloomy and terrifying under the long light of the flashlight. The place where the body was found had been marked by the police, and when I saw the human figure, I was reminded of the tragic appearance of the deceased when he died.
The corpse was still a few meters away from the building, Shen Cheng didn't hesitate, the only thing in the construction site that had not been surveyed was the interior of this building. He wanted to go in and have a look, and by the way, he went to the thirteenth floor to see if he could find any clues about the murderer's crime.
Following Shen Cheng into the building, we started on the first floor and slowly climbed up. Our speed was slow, the night was so quiet, and every time our shoes stepped on the concrete floor, the sound would echo in the building for a long time. From the first floor to the top floor, we still didn't find any suspicious people hiding in the building.
"Perhaps, the rumors of the haunting were created by the murderer in order to clear the construction site and confuse the police, and the purpose of the murder has been successful, so it is impossible for him to stay here anymore." I said to Shen Cheng.
Shen Cheng smiled: "I'm curious, why don't you believe in the theory of ghosts and gods at all." ”
I asked, "Do you believe it?" ”
I replied unexpectedly: "I didn't say I didn't believe it, but I wasn't afraid, it was people who caught people, and ghosts who caught ghosts." ”
After Shen Cheng finished speaking, he walked down from the top floor, and I looked at his back: "I didn't expect you to be a person who pretends to be a ghost." ”
Shen Cheng reminded me of when I first met Shen Nuo, in the burned house on that old street, Shen Nuo's behavior was extremely terrifying, until now, I still don't know what Shen Nuo's purpose is, and she refuses to tell me.
Shen Cheng stopped, he turned his head, the flashlight in my hand happened to be on his chest, and under the afterglow, Shen Cheng's face looked a little sickly pale: "I am a person who has long been dead, but I am standing in front of you in a good manner, why do you say this?" ”
After Shen Cheng finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, and the large burns that made the scalp tingle were imprinted into my eyes again. Shen Cheng's words were full of words, and he obviously wanted to say that he died in the fire more than ten years ago. But this is absolutely impossible, residents there say, four burned bodies beyond recognition were carried out.
Even if the fire did not burn him to death, with the current science and technology, it is impossible for the burns on his body to be removed, and it is even more impossible to resurrect from the dead.
The only possibility is that he and Shen Nuo are not Shen Cheng and Shen Nuo in that old street, or that it was someone else who burned to death in the fire.
"What do you want to say?" I asked in a deep voice.
Shen Cheng put down his sleeves: "I'll talk about it when you win." ”
Shen Chengtou walked down without looking back, and after that, we came to the thirteenth floor, the personnel of the appraisal department had already extracted all the traces of the scene, and the appraisal report should not be issued until dawn.
When I arrived, the question that had plagued me came back to me: how did the killer push the boulder down and hit the deceased with precision, and that, at night, there were no lights on the site.
Above the tall building, the wind was very strong, and the cold feeling stimulated my brain, Shen Cheng and I were standing at the edge of the floor, the beam of the flashlight was not strong, and when the beam reached the first floor, it only lit up a little yellow light. It was just such a photo that Shen Cheng and I found a figure at the same time.
The figure stood in the corner, limited by the flashlight, and we had no way to see his appearance, but this figure was indeed the same as many workers said, and it was impossible to distinguish between one person and two people. It's a weird feeling, like two people are very close together, or rather, they're stuck in each other's bodies.
After discovering the figure, Shen Cheng did not hesitate and immediately rushed downstairs.
There were no handrails on the steps, but the speed under our feet did not slow down in the slightest, and Shen Cheng ran faster than me, and by the time I rushed out of the building, he was already running towards the back door.
I hurriedly followed, and soon, I saw Shen Cheng at the back door. The back door was open, and the man ran away, from the thirteenth floor to the first floor, and no matter how fast we were, we couldn't catch up with the man. Outside the back door, the tall weeds were blown down by the wind, and Shen Cheng looked at me: "If he is a murderer and his purpose has been achieved, then what is he coming back for?" ”
Shen Cheng and I lowered our heads and pondered carefully.
At the same time: "I see!" ”
