Chapter 038: Case Closed?

The more Xu Yi spoke, the more excited she became, and her mother stretched out her trembling hand and wanted to pat Xu Yi's leg to comfort her, but Xu Yi grabbed her mother's hand tightly as if she had grasped a life-saving straw. originally wanted to comfort Xu Yi's mother, but she was the first to cry, and Xu Yi couldn't control her emotions and kept sobbing.

Xu Yi's words coincided with the scene I dreamed of, the back of my neck was cold, and when I was frowning and thinking, I felt a breath of hot air blowing in my ears, and I turned my head sharply, and there was nothing behind me. Again, I touched my earlobe, and it was at this time that a small puppet on the table caught my attention.

"What's that!" I pointed to the puppet and shouted.

When I was in a daze, my mother and Xu Yi had already wiped away the tears on their faces, and their emotions had just calmed down, and they were startled by my shouting. I strode over to the table, this little puppet, except for the difference in size, was almost exactly the same as the small puppet found in Shen Nuo's room and Xiong Wancheng's residence.

I wanted to reach for it, but immediately stopped, this little puppet, and it was probably important evidence, and I couldn't destroy the traces on it. I asked again what the puppet was all about, and my mother shook her head with tears in her eyes and said she didn't know. Xu Yi admitted it, saying that the little puppet was brought back by her.

Xu Yi told me that she didn't know how long she had been in that place, and that she was in a daze all day long, only feeling that someone was feeding her. Finally, just the other day, she felt like she could move, and someone in her ear told her that I was in this place and asked her to bring the little puppet to me.

After Xu Yi tore off the black cloth covering his face, he found himself in a clearing of trees, surrounded by trees. Suicide forest, these are the three words that first came to my mind, under careful questioning, Xu Yi described the forest to me again, I have determined, the forest that Xu Yi said is the suicide forest, and her location is also the vacant place where the 330 bus reappeared.

I frowned, and the thoughts in my head became even more messy, originally I thought that with the appearance of Xu Yi, there would be new clues in the 330 case, and even solve it, but I didn't expect that a bigger mystery was waiting for me. The repeated appearance of the little puppets, as well as the bracelet I gave to Xu Yi on the body of the headless female corpse, all show that the 330 case and the woman in red serial murder case are inextricably linked.

"What is that man's voice?" I asked.

Xu Yi pondered for a while, "It's very sharp, it's very thin, and it's a bit weird." ”

Xu Yi described the most obvious characteristics of the man's voice, and according to Xu Yi, the person who brought Xu Yi to the suicide forest was probably the same person as the mysterious man who called me. I immediately called Zhao Da, but Zhao Da didn't answer, I called the landline in his office again, and again, no one answered.

I opened the door and asked the criminal police guarding the door to find Zhao Da, I have something very important to tell him. Shen Nuo no longer needed guards, they would naturally be able to spare time. Seeing that I looked nervous, they didn't dare to slack off, and one of them immediately went to find Zhao Da.

I sat in my chair, rubbing my temples and thinking, Xu Yi and my mother stopped talking, they both knew that whenever I looked like this, I was thinking about things, and I couldn't be disturbed. The clues are too messy, and I have to sort them out.

In chronological order, there was the Woman in Red serial murder case. Since 1988, there have been a total of five murders of women in red, in which different organs of the bodies have been amputated, and in each case, the doors and windows are locked from the inside, which is a typical secret room murder scene. And before the time of the crime, many people heard eerie and terrifying cries.

Next came the 330 case in 1995, when the 330 bus in City B mysteriously disappeared, three highly decomposed bodies were found in the Miyun Reservoir, and Xu Yi and Du Lei disappeared for many years. A few years later, the 330 bus appeared in the city of G, which is more than 1,000 kilometers away, and how did the bus drive into the open space surrounded by large trees.

After that, there were two more murder cases of women in red, one of the deceased was a headless female corpse, the identity of the female corpse has not been verified, and no one knows who the owner of the house on Victory Street is, and Xu Yi's bracelet appeared on the wrist of the headless female corpse. The other deceased was Miao Miao, and the scene was still very weird.

Sun Hui and Xiao Nan were also in danger, but they were both rescued by us, and now Xu Yi has reappeared, telling her vague experience of being missing for several years. My head hurts, this is just a rough clue, and there are many small clues, such as Zhong Yudong's strange performance, the abnormality of Shen Nuo's family, and the ghost turmoil in the police station.

All of these seem to be related, but I can't tell what these connections are. When I went to Tiemuguan, I asked the bad-faced Taoist Xiong Wancheng's voice how it was, and the voice described by the bad-faced Taoist priest was completely different from the voice of the man who called me, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

The murderer may not be only one person, even if it is really Xiong Wancheng, he wants to disguise another completely different voice, it is very simple.

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't figure it out, I looked at my watch, and more than twenty minutes had passed, but Zhao Da still didn't come. Suddenly, I thought of Du Lei, who disappeared with Xu Yi, and my good friend, and I forgot about him. I immediately asked Xu Yi, but Xu Yi was hesitant, and then the tears fell again.

Xu Yi cried and told me that when she was blindfolded, she heard Du Lei's screams, and blood was constantly spraying on her body. Slowly, Du Lei stopped screaming, Xu Yi could feel that his breath was slowly becoming weaker, and Du Lei died miserably by Xu Yi's side.

Xu Yi's expression made me guess a long time ago, and I sat down in the chair again, Du Lei was my best friend in the police academy, and I didn't want anything to happen to him. Meng Ting has returned to City B, and she is still waiting for me to give her news, and I don't know how to explain it to her.

We were silent in the hotel for a long time, and when my mother said she wasn't feeling well, Xu Yi helped her into the inner room to rest. When Xu Yi came out, she sat next to me, she grabbed my hand and said that she would always be with me. I have mixed emotions, but I'm probably lucky because Xu Yi didn't have an accident.

Zhao Da finally came, and when he came in, he asked who Xu Yi was, and I told him the truth, and also said the potential connection between the 330 case and the woman in red case. After knowing what happened, Zhao Da was also very surprised. I took Zhao Da to see the little puppet on the table, and after Zhao Da observed it for a while, he didn't mean to take it back to the police station at all. I didn't think something was right, so I asked Zhao Da if there was something he was hiding from me.

Zhao Da sighed, "Professor Li, this case has decided to close." ”

"What?!" My heart sank.

Zhao Da laughed embarrassedly twice, he said that the wanted warrant had been issued, and the superiors had already allowed the case to be closed, because the impact of this case was too bad, and if the case was not closed early, it would inevitably make people panic. Moreover, Zhao Da said that he was also tired, and the city of G had been very peaceful in the past few days, and the police support transferred from other regions had also been withdrawn, so the case of the woman in red ended here.

I finally knew why Zhao Da didn't come for a long time, not long after I came back, Zhao Da told me that the case of the woman in red was about to be closed, and he must have been communicating with his superiors during the time just now.

"The 330 case is obviously related to the woman in red case, Xiong Wancheng may not be the murderer, and the murderer may not be only one person, how can the case be closed?" I got angry and yelled at Zhao Da, which woke up my mother, and my mother came out to persuade me, and apologized to Zhao Da vigorously.

Zhao Da kept asking his mother not to apologize to him, saying that the fault was on himself, and when he spoke, Zhao Da was embarrassed to look at me.

"Okay, even if Xiong Wancheng is the murderer, he hasn't been arrested yet, and the closure of the case does not comply with the procedural regulations!" I was so angry that my mother couldn't persuade me at all.

Zhao Da sighed and said that this was also the decision of his superiors, and he had no choice. The 330 case is not allowed to be investigated, and if it is really related to the woman in red case, he will not dare to investigate. Zhao Da also patted me on the shoulder and said that some things are very subtle, and I should understand.

I deeply understand what Zhao Da said. A few years ago, the B City Police Force stopped investigating the 330 case, and that's it, but I didn't expect it to be like this again.

Zhao Da lit a cigarette and handed me one, but I didn't take it.

"Professor Li, the matter of closing the case has been basically decided, and when Xiong Wancheng enters the case, the case will be completely closed, this period of time, thank you very much, I ......" Zhao Da said at the end, and he didn't know what to say. When he saw that I ignored him, he had no choice but to say goodbye and walk out the door.

Mother sent Zhao Da to the door, and I sat sullenly, staring at the little puppet. Xu Yi's return was supposed to be a happy thing, but when she returned, the case was also at an impasse. There are still many things that have not been clarified, and the case should not end like this at all, even after the arrest of Xiong Wancheng, evidence will be collected and investigated.

I don't want the legal process to be trampled on, and I don't want the truth to be covered up, forever hidden in a corner that people can't see with their eyes, this time, I don't want to give in like this, I will definitely find out!

Murphy's Law in psychology is sometimes really accurate, what people are afraid of, often happens. My phone rang, it was Meng Ting calling, I stared at the phone screen for a long time, and finally pressed the answer button. Meng Ting simply greeted me and asked her the questions she was most concerned about.

I didn't know how to answer her, I was silent for too long, Meng Ting also felt something, she asked me, is Du Lei sure that something happened......
