He Wei's home is very large, Qi Hong is arranged in the side bedroom, only a few meters away from the master bedroom of He Wei and his wife, there is a children's room in the middle, Lele is placed in this room when he sleeps at night, Chen Meina is afraid of stimulating Qi Hong deliberately removed the mirror, and when he opened the window, he could see the rippling artificial lake, and the environment was very good.

After everything was cleaned up, Chen Meina pushed open Qi Hong's door and walked in, Qi Hong sat in front of the window and looked out of the window without saying a word.

The sky was still raining, gray, clattering, and every now and then there was a low sound of thunder rolling by.

Maybe he was watching it too seriously, Qi Hong didn't even notice Chen Meina's arrival.

Looking at this familiar back, Chen Meina was distressed and sad, the reason why she worshiped under Qi Hong's door back then was because she was obsessed with Qi Hong's words, she was his loyal fan, and she had deeper feelings for Qi Hong, if it wasn't for Zhou Xia, maybe she would be Qi Hong's wife.

In the evening, He Wei went out to socialize again, and it is estimated that he will not come back tonight, Chen Meina is used to it now.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the lightning and thunder were rattling and rattling.

Lying on the cold bed, Chen Meina tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, her mind was full of Qi Hong's shadow, which was still handsome and slightly vicissitudes, and her face was still so familiar, but the gentle smile she had before disappeared.

She thought of Qi Hong's kindness to her, the man who was always so reasonable and orderly in everything. Thinking of He Wei's indifference to her, her heart became more and more uncomfortable, and she got out of bed and came to Lele's room.

The little one was lying on the small crib, leaning on her side, the quilt was lifted to the other side, she stroked her son's face and gently covered the quilt for him.

Walking out of the door, she glanced at Qi Hong's door, the door was hidden, and there seemed to be lights inside, it was the middle of the night, didn't Qi Hong sleep yet?

Chen Meina walked lightly to Qi Hong's door, and through the crack in the door, she found that Qi Hong's bed was bulging, and he had fallen asleep with his head covered, but the bedside lamp was still on.

Why sleep with the lights on?

Chen Meina shook her head and didn't think much about it, and gently closed the door.

She turned around, but collided with a dark shadow.

"Ahh

Chen Meina screamed in fright and closed her eyes.

Chen Meina raised her head and found that it was Qi Hong standing in front of her, he was only wearing a pair of pants, his expression was a little unfamiliar, and the door of the bathroom not far behind him was still shaking slightly. Chen Meina understood, Qi Hong had just gone to the toilet.

She took a long breath and her heart was still pounding, at this time Chen Meina was surprised to find that Qi Hong had a lot of scars on his body, most of them were strip-like bruises, row by row interlaced with each other, the scars were like being whipped by a whip, extending from the thighs to the chest, there were obvious cigarette butt burn marks in many places, and many wounds were already red, swollen and suppurated.

During the day, Qi Hong couldn't see these wounds while wearing clothes, Chen Meina was stunned, what happened to Qi Hong? She turned her head sideways and found that Qi Hong's back injury was even more serious, with large and large whipped marks, layered and dense, as if she had been whipped.

If the injury in front was caused by Qi Hong's self-harm, then the injury behind him could never have been caused by himself.

Then there is only one possibility, Qi Hong has suffered inhuman abuse.

What is it that would have so brutally abused a mentally ill person?

Chen Meina thought of the news of doctors abusing nurses on TV, could it be those doctors?

She covered her mouth and her eyes turned red, looking at these injuries on Qi Hong's body, she was unprecedentedly sad.

I don't know how Qi Hong has come over in the past two years.

"Did they beat you? Did the doctor beat you? Chen Meina asked with red eyes.

Qi Hong didn't speak, just looked at her, his eyes were so empty, so godless, he wanted to say that he was a walking corpse.

His appearance made Chen Meina more and more uncomfortable.

A normal person will definitely struggle when he is beaten up, and this fool may also have a smile on his face when he is beaten, and he doesn't know what people will do to him again.

How sad it is that the great writers of the past have fallen to this point.

"You go to bed, it's late." Chen Meina squeezed out a smile and took the initiative to open Qi Hong's door, and then quickly returned to her room.

Chen Meina closed her eyes in a daze, and in a trance, he heard someone call her name again.

"Mina."

It was a woman's voice, déjà vu.

Chen Meina pricked up her ears.

Mina ......

This time Chen Meina heard it, and the voice came from outside the door, very familiar, it seemed to be ...... It seems to be Zhou Xia's voice.

"Nana, it's me, Zhou Xia."

At this time, Chen Meina's door opened, and a black figure slowly walked in without any sound.

A flash of lightning flashed, Chen Meina saw clearly this time, it was really Zhou Xia, she was wearing a dress with white flowers on a red background, her hair was scattered, and her whole body was wet, as if she had just been fished out of the water, her face was so pale, her eyes completely disappeared into two black holes, and blood continued to gush out along her face.

Mina...... I died so miserably, you save me, you save me......" Zhou Xia shouted hoarsely.

"Ahh

Chen Meina sat up from the bed with a loud sigh, she gasped for breath, her whole body was already drenched in sweat, and she stretched out her hand to turn on the bedside lamp.

The house was empty and there was nothing, and the door was closed.

The wind outside was light, a bright moon hung in the sky, and the silver-white moonlight fell into the house, and everything was so calm.

It turned out to be a dream.

Chen Meina wiped the sweat from her forehead and exhaled a long breath.

She thought of Wu Cheng's words again, could it be that Zhou Xia's ghost was really attached to Qi Hong's body?

Next.

No. 23, Jiangnan Road, Dahe Town.

Luo Cheng and Zhou Huabei stood on the side of the road and looked at the community in front of them without saying a word, two years have passed, the scene of the crime has now been replaced by the community, and the entire street has undergone tremendous changes.

"This is the actual situation we have to face, except for some photos from the past, we can no longer find any traces, let alone clues, this street has been newly planned, and all the residents and businesses from two years ago have moved away, and it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find clues."

Zhou Huabei shook his head, smiled bitterly, and walked to the river.

The muddy Python River has become extremely clear, and a new breakwater has been built on the river, and the river channel is more than ten meters wide with blue waves, and a dredging boat on the river is cleaning up the sediment at the bottom of the river.

A year ago, the Python River began to be dredged and controlled, and now it has come to an end, which is also the last hope of Zhou Huabei.

The two of them stood silently by the river, they knew better than anyone that even if Qi Hong threw the body into the river, the chance of finding it was slim.

A sudden phone rang, and Zhou Huabei answered the phone.

"Really? Okay, I'll be right away! ”

Zhou Huabei hung up the phone and said excitedly: "Some human skeletons were found downstream, and the preliminary judgment is that it is a woman, let's go over and have a look." ”

The two hurriedly got into the car and went straight to the scene.

Under a big tree, several policemen were taking pictures to collect evidence, and the forensic doctor immediately reported the preliminary situation, the body was a woman, about 1.65 meters tall, the body was found in a nearby beach, and the bones were preserved quite completely.

is 1.65 meters, which is almost the same as Zhou Xia's height, and she is still a woman.

Luo Cheng's face changed, and he squatted down and looked at the skeleton in a daze.

After a while he made up his mind.

"This person is not Zhou Xia."

"Not? Are you so sure? Zhou Huabei asked.

"Yes, it's not." Luo Cheng pointed to a leg bone and said: "Zhou Xia had a traffic accident when she was in college, when she rode a bicycle and hit the fence and fractured her lower leg, you see this person's leg bone is very intact, so they are not the same person." ”

Luo Cheng looked around and said, "Master, have you heard of psychological safety distance?" That is to say, everyone has a psychological safety range, for example, the distance between two strangers is one meter, if a person intrudes within one meter of you, you will feel uncomfortable, of course, this also varies from person to person, the same reason, a person will never leave the danger by his side, such as throwing a corpse, this place of throwing the corpse must be as far away from the place of the incident as possible, at least more than one kilometer, I think it is necessary for us to re-investigate the range of Qi Hong's corpse. ”

"Twenty kilometers, we conducted a detailed investigation with a radius of 20 kilometers from the place of the incident, is this radius large enough? I also understand the safe distance you said, but you have to consider the actual situation, you should have read the file, Qi Hong left the hotel by car, we investigated Qi Hong's route, he disappeared after coming out of the hotel, I don't know where he went at all, there are witnesses who reacted that he went home, and the distance from the hotel to his home is exactly ten kilometers, we have searched anywhere in such a huge radius, according to our judgment, the box is very likely to have been thrown into the river, At that time, the flow rate could float to several cities and counties downstream in one day, and three days was enough to cross several provinces. ”

In fact, Luo Cheng, whom Zhou Huabei said, also knew that after Qi Hong drove away, he might have dumped his body on the way home, or he might have been in other places, which was an incomparably huge range.

Zhou Huabei sighed helplessly, "This is an unimaginably large range, the possibility of finding the body is very small, and this is also the key to this case, if you can't find the body, you can't characterize the case, and there is no way to investigate, not to mention that Qi Hong has a mental problem now, even if he is mentally fine, what can we do with him?" ”

"Do we know he's a murderer and watch him get away with it? If he hadn't killed anyone, where would Zhou Xia have gone? If he didn't kill anyone, why did he go to the hotel at that time? And the box, what did he bring a box for no reason? Is this unclear just to throw corpses? Luo Cheng was in a hurry.

"What about the evidence?"

"There is no evidence, but this is the most plausible reasoning." Luo Chengqi's face turned blue, and his fists squeaked.

"You also know that this is reasoning, reasoning is hypothesis, and on that basis you conclude that he killed someone? If you are found at the scene of the crime with a bloody knife, can you conclude that you killed the deceased? Zhou Huabei asked again.

"No, I know the case you are talking about, the Simpson case in the United States."

Zhou Huabei nodded and said: "That's right, our case was called China's Simpson case by the media at that time, and the evidence in the Simpson case was so conclusive that it couldn't be convicted, not to mention our case, Qi Hong and Zhou Xia just met, we have no evidence to prove that he killed him, this case has no motive for killing, no crime process, and no evidence, not even a corpse, how do you say to convict?" Do you know the three elements of evidence? ”

Luo Cheng was deflated.

"Know, relevance, legitimacy, authenticity, isn't there still a confession? The waiter and several hotel guests testified that they heard a quarrel in Qi Hong's room, does this explain something? Why are they arguing? It must be because of some contradiction, it is entirely possible for Qi Hong to kill people in a hurry. ”

"It's good if you know, I won't talk about the relevance, at least it must be legal and true, I know you are eager to solve the case, but you also have to control your emotions, no matter what the case is, the confession must be placed after all the evidence, you can't be gullible, you must insist on the fact that everyone's psychological quality is different, and the reaction will more or less have their own subjective judgment, and just a confession is far from enough, there is a lack of other objective evidence, and there is no relevance at all."

Luo Cheng was speechless at this time, in fact, he knew all this, but when he saw the corpse in front of him, his emotions were a little out of control.

After being silent for a long time, Luo Cheng spoke.

"Did you say she's still alive? Is it possible that she left the hotel through the other exit at that time? Like a window? ”

Zhou Huabei couldn't answer this question, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, but why did she jump out of the window?" Why is she hiding, where is she after all these two years? Of course, everyone wants her to be alive. ”

So what was the reason for Qi Hong's mental breakdown? He must have suffered a great irritation, and killing people is the most in line with this setting, do you think he is pretending? Luo Cheng asked.

Loaded?

This question is not only Luo Cheng who has thought so, almost all the police involved in this case have thought so.

"If it is understandable that he is afraid of being punished for murder and chooses to pretend to be crazy and stupid, but we later released him not because he had mental problems, but because of insufficient evidence, then there is no need for him to continue, but you have seen his condition, and many doctors have diagnosed him with mental illness, not pretending, and Wang Jieyu determined that Qi Hong suffered from depression before the case."

"Then is it possible for her to collude with Qi Hong?"

Zhou Huabei smiled and said, "I have also investigated your guess, why did Wang Jieyu collude with Qi Hong?" What is the motivation? ”

Luo Cheng couldn't speak, the picture of Wang Jieyu sorting out Qi Hong's clothes once again appeared in his mind, and he always felt that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.

"I'd like to talk to her when I have time." Luo Chengdao.

"Okay, but let me remind you, although you also like psychology, but she is a top student in psychology, you better be smart when chatting with her."
