Luo Cheng shook his head, this is a mental hospital, full of crazy people, normal people will never be able to understand the world of crazy people.

"Hello Dr. Wang, I heard that you used to be Qi Hong's psychiatrist, did he have psychological problems before the accident?" Luo Cheng asked.

Wang Jieyu smiled and said: "Yes, he brought his wife to me at that time, I also showed him by the way, and found that he had depression, but he didn't want to admit it, this is also the biggest problem of many people with mental illness, they are always unwilling to admit that they are sick, just like a madman who says he is not crazy, his psychological defense mechanism is too strong, and he resists all treatments......"

"Wait, you said he took Zhou Xia to you?" Luo Cheng interrupted Wang Jieyu's words.

"Yes, don't you know? Zhou Xia suffered from severe anxiety disorder, her mental state was very bad, she almost collapsed, and she had suicidal tendencies many times. ”

"Isn't their relationship very good? Why do both of them have psychological problems? Luo Cheng asked.

Wang Jieyu shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Who can say for sure about emotional matters, how can outsiders know what happened between them?" Qi Hong has been like this since Zhou Xia's accident, but he has become more serious before, he doesn't sleep all night long, thinks about suicide all the time, and sometimes secretly cries alone, I think he must be very self-blaming. ”

Kick oneself?

"Why should he blame himself? Was it because he killed Zhou Xia? ”

"Impossible!"

Wang Jieyu firmly denied Luo Cheng's statement.

"It is impossible for him to kill Zhou Xia, they are very affectionate, the two of them respect each other like guests, the answer to this point is the same for whoever you ask, Zhou Xia likes to be quiet, he built a house in the river bay behind the town, Zhou Xia likes flowers and plants, he planted the whole yard with flowers and plants, flowers bloom all year round, it is the most beautiful house I have ever seen, he is humble and friendly, half of the property is donated, Zhou Xia's previous primary school he funded and completely renovated it, and also set up a student fund in the name of Zhou Xia, The list goes on and on, would such a person kill someone? ”

Luo Cheng also had to admit this, he had investigated Qi Hong, this person was almost a perfect person, with a good personality, a very low-key person, and no enemies, his relationship with Zhou Xia was proved by many people, and he had no motive to commit the crime at all.

If this is the case, then where did Zhou Xia go? Why can't the police find Qi Hong's box? Is there a corpse in that box? Is Zhou Xia dead or missing? Why is Qi Hong crazy? What exactly did he go through?

A person will never go crazy for no reason, before the case, he and Zhou Xia had psychological problems, what does this mean? Is there a rift in their relationship or something else?

Why doesn't everyone believe that Qi Hong killed someone?

Everything seems very illogical to many people, but in fact, Zhou Xia is missing.

This case seems to be very simple, it is a case of disappearance, but the inside story is by no means as simple as it seems.

In Luo Cheng's view, Qi Hong was simply premeditated to commit a crime.

First of all, before the incident, he and Zhou Xia entered the hotel one after another, the main reason for this is to avoid suspicion, and secondly, does he know that there is no monitoring in the hotel? In addition, it was pouring rain on the day of the crime, why did he enter the hotel with a large suitcase? Zhou Xia went crazy after he disappeared, did he pretend to be crazy or was he really stimulated?

"Boom!"

There was a thunderclap.

I don't know when it started to be completely overcast, and then heavy rain poured down.

"I won't tell you, I'm leaving." Wang Jieyu held up an umbrella.

"Walk slowly."

Wang Jieyu nodded, quickly got into the car, and disappeared into the rain.

Luo Cheng looked back at the psychiatric hospital again, the hospital was completely shrouded in rain and mist, and it became ethereal, like a mirage, he thought of the old man's words just now, could it all be fake?

Leaving the psychiatric hospital, Luo Cheng hurried to the inpatient department of the city hospital, knocked on ward 213 and walked in.

In the room, a middle-aged man in his fifties was reading a book, with a thin body, dark skin, a peaked cap on his head, a Chinese face, eight-character eyebrows, and a pair of bright eyes.

Seeing Luo Cheng coming, he hurriedly put down the book.

"Xiao Luo, why are you here?" The man said with a smile.

"Master, don't move, you have a good rest." Luo Cheng placed the fruit basket on the windowsill.

Zhou Huabei, the deputy captain of the Qingzhou City Criminal Police Team, Luo Cheng's master, he took Zhou Xia's case back then, and he was also the first person to rush to the scene of the crime.

Because of stomach cancer, Zhou Huabei has less than half a year left.

"You went to a psychiatric hospital today?" Zhou Huabei asked.

"Go."

"Any progress?"

"Yes, he admitted that he killed Zhou Xia." Luo Cheng was not excited when he said this, on the contrary, he was very disappointed.

Because he knows better than anyone that these simply do not hold water, and who would believe the words of a madman?

"Do you believe it?" Zhou Huabei asked again.

Luo Cheng was noncommittal, and his mood was a little depressed.

"Did he say he killed someone and dismembered his body?" Zhou Huabei teased.

Luo Cheng nodded and said, "The on-site report said that there were no traces of a fight or blood at the scene of the incident, is this possible?" ”

Zhou Huabei smiled bitterly and said: "It's not impossible, but the possibility is relatively low, I am very familiar with Qi Hong, I have seen the relationship between him and Zhou Xia, I don't believe that he will kill Zhou Xia, but some things are really difficult to say." You have also read the report, the box that Qi Hong took away at that time was one meter high, such a box could completely fit Zhou Xia into it, did he have the need to divide the body? Not to mention cooking, it's completely redundant, and we arrived at the scene three days after the incident, before that the waiter had thoroughly cleaned up the room, all traces were completely erased, according to the waiter's explanation Qi Hong did not close the window when he left the room, resulting in a large amount of rainwater pouring into the room, the water in the house was very serious, so they cleaned the room, the scene was very seriously damaged, we did not find any valuable clues, and even said that Qi Hong's fingerprints and hair were not, So how do we prove that he killed someone? ”

"What about corpses? How can we not find the body? Why didn't you drain the river in the first place? Luo Cheng asked.

Draining?

Zhou Huabei laughed: "At first glance, you are a person who has not been to the scene, the Python River in front of Dahe Town is connected to the Yangtze River, and there are many tributaries, it is impossible to drain it, if we can do it, we did it at that time." ”

"Then you can search with underwater robots?"

"It's impossible, Dahe Town is a famous stone town, the water pollution was very serious, the water quality was turbid, and even the rainstorm in those days the river water rose sharply and the flow speed was very fast, no robot worked, and then we didn't have that condition at that time, in short, we thought of all the ways we could think of, not to mention how do you know that the body is in the river? How do you know that the box must be a corpse? ”

Luo Cheng's confidence was extinguished by a basin of cold water, he was full of confidence when he went, and he was dejected when he came back, and his first independent case handling ended in failure.

After thinking for a while, Luo Cheng raised his head and said firmly: "I think he is the murderer, and other murderers are blindly quibbling, but he did the opposite, knowing that we couldn't find the body and deliberately confessed, so that it can be proved that he has a mental problem from the side." ”

"I understand your feelings, but we are police, what the police need to handle the case is evidence, it's not what I think is, don't let emotions dominate your reason, there are many doubts in this case, especially you, you must be restrained."

Zhou Huabei clasped his hands and fell into deep thought, his eyes became sharp, his fists were slowly clenched, and the picture of Zhou Xia's family members falling down in front of him and scolding him for being incompetent came to mind.

The police in charge of this case were scolded over and over again, Zhou Xia's relatives knelt at the door of the police station with banners and denounced the police for being incompetent, some irrationally even said that the police were shielding the murderer, and Zhou Xia's grandmother committed suicide by jumping off the building in the police station because of excessive sadness.

That picture is the pain of Zhou Huabei's life, and he can't sleep every time he thinks about it.

"He was discharged from the hospital and picked up by his classmate He Wei, what should we do next?" Luo Cheng looked at Zhou Huabei expectantly.

In an old case from two years ago, the only party was crazy, there were no witnesses, and there were no clues, how should this case continue?

"It's good to be discharged from the hospital, I'm afraid that he won't be discharged, it's the fox who will show his tail sooner or later." Zhou Huabei twisted his neck and got out of bed.

"Master, where are you going? I'll help you. Luo Cheng hurriedly said.

"Discharged."

Yes?

"Discharged? No, you're not chemo-free? Luo Cheng asked.

"What kind of treatment, do you sit here and wait for death? This person is going to die anyway, so why are you still in the hospital, the fox is out of the mountain, and the hunter should also work. ”
