Chapter VIII: Ten Years of Unsolved Cases
"Team Qu, there should be more than one or two pinhole cameras installed in Changqing's villa, you should immediately notify your colleagues in the technical team now, and focus on searching for cameras at high places. Ran Sinian spoke very quickly and gave Qu Zi an order.
Qu Zichong has long been accustomed to Ran Sinian's style, and he will feel a little unhappy at first, after all, he is the captain who has always given orders to others, but with more and more successful cases of cooperation, Qu Zichong not only does not dislike Ran Sinian for doing this, but looks forward to it, because this means that Ran Sinian has found some important clues.
At half past five in the morning, Xiao Deng returned to the criminal investigation detachment with fifteen pinhole camera equipment, he put the fifteen cameras on the table in the conference room, and said in a disdainful tone: "Guess who installed these cameras?" ”
Ran Sinian sat at the innermost position of the conference table, keeping a distance from the other police officers, and looked at Qu Zichong who was presiding over the meeting opposite, he snorted coldly and said, "Look at your tone, I guess these are all installed by Changqing himself, right?" ”
Deng Lei was startled for a moment, and immediately relieved, and said, "It's worthy of Mr. Shenfu, you guessed right." Just now, my colleagues in the technical team told me that they found all the 15 days of surveillance footage in Changqing's computer and mobile hard drive, including Changqing's big face when he was first installed and debugged the equipment. In other words, these cameras were installed by Evergreen himself! ”
Just as everyone was digesting this fact, Qu Zichong's other subordinate Liang Yuan knocked on the door and entered the conference room, "Team Qu, I just came back from the hospital, Ai Qin has already woken up, and I also asked her about the camera." Ai Qin said that she had known that Chang Qing had installed cameras in her home, and she said that these pinhole cameras were installed by Chang Qing to spy on her. Chang Qing is very cautious, always has no confidence in himself, and always suspects that Ai Qin has a lover, and because he is working, he is often away from home during the day, so he installed these cameras. Ai Qin said that she had known about this for a long time, but she didn't break it, thinking that as long as Changqing found that he couldn't record any scenes of her tryst with her lover, after a long time, she would naturally rest assured and remove these cameras. ”
Deng Lei spoke and asked several people present, "You say, will the murderer be Ai Qin?" Ai Qin is young and beautiful, but she is married to a bad old man like Changqing, and she is still a bad old man who is cautious and suspicious to the point of perversion, do you say, is she for the inheritance? If you want to say that there is true love between them, the devil will believe it. As long as Changqing dies, isn't the inheritance all Aiqin's? ”
Qu Zichong was noncommittal to Deng Lei's words, "Whether the murderer is Ai Qin or not, as long as we wait for the colleagues in the technical team to send us the video at the time of the crime, the truth will be revealed." Of course, whether the video has been tampered with or not, the experts of the technical team can also see it. ”
Deng Lei was speechless, "Alas, I didn't expect that the camera that Chang Qing installed for his wife at the beginning ended up recording the tragic situation of his own killing, which is really ironic." However, we should really thank Evergreen for installing these cameras, and now who the murderer is, isn't it clear at a glance? ”
Ran Sinian shook his head slightly, "I can't see it at a glance, because the murderer is wearing makeup, and it's super thick makeup, and he's wearing exaggerated costumes, and even the action features are covered up by the performance, so I can't see his identity through the video at all." ”
"Huh?" The people present, except for Ran Sinian and Qu Zichong, the rest of the people opened their eyes in surprise and curiosity.
Soon, the technical team sent the video, and Deng Lei played the video on the projection screen.
The screen is in the mode of night photography, and the whole picture is gray and dark, a bit like an old horror movie, giving people a sense of immediacy with a cold back, especially since the viewer already knows that there will be a terrifying picture soon.
There was a man and a woman sleeping on the bed in the bedroom, the man was the deceased Changqing, an old man about fifty years old with a slightly obscene face, but the woman was a young and beautiful beauty, and her pajamas were wrapped in a bumpy body.
At the bottom right of the footage is the time display, at 2:03 a.m., the bedroom door is opened from the outside, and a clown figure enters.
The murderer was dressed in a clown costume, colorful and green, wearing a clown's colored wig, and his face was also painted with clown oil paint, the left half of his face was smiling, and the right half of his face was crying. What's even more bizarre and hideous is that this clown is bouncing, dancing, shaking his head, and making all kinds of funny performance poses, as if he is using the evergreen bedroom as a stage to perform; What's even more bizarre is that the clown knows that there is a camera, deliberately stays under the camera, waves at the camera, focuses on performance, poses a few times and makes a few faces, and then reluctantly continues to walk to the bedside. This scene made Fan Xiao's back tingle, this murderer is definitely a perverted maniac! Moreover, he also knows that cameras exist!
The clown moved to the side of the bed while performing, and it took a minute and a half to come to Chang Qing's body, it is conceivable that in this minute and a half time, he must have made a certain sound when he jumped up and down like this, but the two people on the bed were not awakened. Then, the clown was still performing in a gesture, and suddenly, out of nowhere, he took out a dagger out of nowhere and slapped it twice on the cheek of the sleeping evergreen, and he was deliberately waking him up. Chang Qing opened his eyes in a trance, and after a second he found the abnormality, his face was distorted in fright, and he was about to scream, the dagger in the clown's hand had already cut through Chang Qing's throat, and his movements were smooth and did not hesitate.
For a while, blood spurted, and the clown's face added a thick color, and he licked the blood from his mouth to the camera, as if licking delicious candy, and jumped and clapped his hands exaggeratedly like a child, showing his excitement and pleasure. Then, he put away the dagger, and as he had come, he bounced out of the bedroom, and before closing the door, he leaned half of his body back into the room, waved goodbye to the camera, and left a flying kiss.
Deng Lei switched the screen and played the surveillance cameras in the living room and entrance on the first floor, and the clown actually walked out of the gate of Changqing's house all the way out of the gate, so he left such unbelievable bloody footprints.
"It seems that this Ai Qin is really not a murderer," Deng Lei said a little deflated, "I guessed wrong, maybe their old husband and young wife are true love." ”
"Oh my God, the killer also knows there are cameras?" Liang Yuan, who came back from the hospital, asked in surprise, "But Ai Qin told me that she didn't mention the camera to anyone, and even the maid at home didn't know." Because she thinks that there is such a cautious husband who installs a camera at home to monitor his wife, which is a family ugliness and cannot be publicized. I believe that Changqing himself will not talk about this, it is not a glorious thing. But how did the murderer know? ”
Ran Sinian was silent, he couldn't give an answer to this question at the moment, and no one in the conference room answered. But Ran Sinian is even more sure that the killing of Changqing is definitely not someone's dream, but a real murderer. The voice changer who called him in the early hours of the morning did not mention the camera on the phone, and perhaps, he did not know that there was a camera at the scene of the crime, which means that he may not be the murderer. In any case, Ran Sinian wants to find this person as soon as possible, because he is a very key person, even if he is not a murderer.
Everyone in the conference room was analyzing the case, and the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open rudely without warning, and standing at the door was Fan Xiao, who was known for his mouthfulness and recklessness, Ran Sinian recognized Fan Xiao's clothes that had not changed since they first met, and of course, retro hairstyles and glasses.
Ran Sinian then remembered that he hadn't seen this reckless boy at the scene of the crime just now, and it was impossible to say that he, a hot-blooded young man, was lazy, so what else was he busy with? Team Qu assigned him another task?
"Great, Mr. Ran is also here, just right, before you said that you would investigate five murders, the serial murders of six deceased, I have already found out!" Fan Xiao announced loudly as if he was invited.
Only then did Ran Sinian react, it turned out that Qu Zichong had handed over this task to Fan Xiao again, no wonder it was only today that the result was achieved.
Qu Zichong motioned for Fan Xiao to close the door and sit down, and spoke in detail, because he also realized that the previous case that the voice changer said was likely to be related to Chang Qing's case.
Fan Xiao opened the file folder in his hand and introduced while reading: "The murder happened ten years ago, between May and July ten years ago, in just three months, there were five homicides, and the six deceased were all committed in an alley where no one was there at night. In the fourth case, the deceased was a man, a woman and a couple. The reason why these five cases were combined is because they all happened near Yongping Street, the deceased died tragically, the murderer was merciless, and in two cases, witnesses were found, and the witnesses said that at the time of the crime, they had seen a clown dressed as a clown performing near Yongping Street, and there was blood on the clown's clothes! ”
When Qu Zichong heard this, he hurriedly snatched the file in Fan Xiao's hand, and continued to introduce while quickly browsing it, "Ten years ago, the police blocked the news, and it was strictly forbidden to spread the news for fear of causing panic. At that time, a clown from a local circus was also identified as a suspect, but the suspicion was quickly ruled out. The case is still unsolved, and the murderer has not been caught so far! ”
"The same person," Liang Yuan shouted excitedly, "The serial murder case ten years ago and the Changqing case, the murderer is the same person, and the murderer has committed the crime again after ten years!" However, why did the murderer reappear after ten years of silence? ”
Ran Sinian's mind came up with the words of the voice-changer - it started again, it started again, and a new round of murder began again.
