Chapter 106: The Scourge of Youth
It was a sword of Damocles hanging over my head, and I knew when it would fall, and every time I saw a ghost, it was closer to the top of my head.
Ever since I found out about my physical condition, I have been feeling a little conflicted and fearful in my heart. I consciously reduce the amount of time I spend with Xiaobai, even if I enjoy spending time with her.
I didn't answer Xiaobai's question, and I don't know how to answer it.
By the time I got back to my dorm room, it was almost nine o'clock, and when I opened the door to my dorm room, an unexpected person was waiting for me in my dorm room.
"Chen Shen, where have you been? Why do you call your phone and turn it off? ”
"Blackie! How did you get back?! I let out a cheer of surprise and stepped forward to hug Hei.
Xiao Hei replied with a smile: "It's a little bit of a matter to come back, so I'll come and see you by the way!" ”
I pulled Xiao Hei and walked out: "Let's go, let's drink together!" ”
Xiao Hei and I went to the restaurant we used to frequent, ordered a few side dishes, and talked about our recent situation. I told Hei that I had joined the Spiritual Crime Team, and I told him about the two incidents that I had encountered these days. Xiao Hei was surprised by the establishment of the Spirit Crime Team, and told me why he returned to the provincial capital.
It turned out to be related to the spirit team.
In the afternoon, I told Zeng Yi the truth about the Meishan murder case, and told him that Xiao Hei was also a witness.
Unexpectedly, Zeng Yi quickly called the public security bureau where Xiao Hei was located, asking Xiao Hei when he would be free to return to the provincial capital to assist in the investigation.
Xiao Hei was granted a two-day vacation, so he rushed back to the provincial capital overnight. A few glasses of white wine, both of us were in a trance, I asked Xiao Hei how he was doing recently, but Xiao Hei smirked vigorously, which made me feel a little abnormal, and my mind turned around, and I cried out: "Did you kid meet something good?" ”
Xiao Hei smiled, his expression a little twisted.
"In love?"
"Hmmm......"
"You kid can! It's only been a few days since you went back, and you found your sister? Do you have any photos? Show me! ”
"There is one photo, but it's just ......" Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't laugh when you see it......"
"I don't laugh, I definitely don't laugh!" I casually promised, but my heart became a little curious.
Could it be that Xiao Hei's girlfriend looks very happy, or takes funny photos? Otherwise, why did he tell me not to laugh?
"Laugh, you're a pig...... "Xiao Hei hesitantly took out his wallet from his pocket, then took out a palm-sized photo from his wallet and handed it to me.
"Yo... I also washed out the photos! "I took the photo, but I was a little surprised. The style of that photo is very old, like an old photo from the last century, the material of the photo is a little yellowed, and after seeing the content of the photo, I was even more shocked that my jaw was about to drop, and I looked at Xiao Hei suspiciously: "Did you take the wrong photo?" This photo shows two children, don't you say this little girl is your girlfriend! ”
Xiao Hei's face was a little red: "Look carefully......" I picked up the photo and looked at it for a while, the photo was a man and a woman and two children, the boy was small, if you looked closely, his eyebrows and eyes were a little familiar.
"Xiao Hei, this little boy is you?"
Blackie nodded.
"What about the little girl? Is that your current girlfriend? ”
"Yes......"
I couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Hei, you can do it!" I found a childhood sweetheart! ”
Xiao Hei shook his head: "It shouldn't be a childhood sweetheart..."
"It's not a childhood sweetheart, how can you have a photo of her when she was a child, or a group photo?"
"This ...... I can explain ......"
"Then explain quickly, my patience is limited."
"It's all fate...... Xiao Hei blushed and said, "Chen Shen, do you believe in fate?" ”
I said angrily: "Fate is your sister! Get to the point! ”
"I was about 10 years old in the photo, and that year I saved a little girl from drowning in the reservoir, and that's the one in the photo. The little girl's parents thanked me and invited me and my mom to the town for dinner. After eating, I don't know what I thought at the time, and I wanted to take a picture with the little girl. So you have this photo in your hand. ”
I interrupted Black: "I don't know what I think!" Obviously, you saw that little girl beautiful at the time, and you remembered it! ”
"I'm not as dirty as you," Hei continued, "The little girl's parents don't seem to be from our village, and they left after the photo was taken, and I didn't see the little girl again until I came home for the Chinese New Year, and I was wandering around the town, and I ran into her again!" I recognized her at a glance......"
"You still say that you don't care about people? You can still recognize it after so many years, you are really amazing! Although I was mocking on my lips, I was really happy for Xiao Hei in my heart.
"Generally..."Xiao Hei said with a rise and danced with his hands.
I smiled and asked, "Then you got better?" ”
"Not so quickly, after I recognized her, I told her about my childhood, but I didn't expect her to remember it."
"What's her name?"
"Her name is Wu Xiao, and she is from our side, but when she was a child, her parents were in business in other places, so she was always outside. This time, her parents came back to contract the mountains and forests, and she just graduated from college, so they came back to help together. Didn't I just go back to my internship the other day, and we decided on a relationship......
I smiled and touched a glass of wine with Xiao Hei and said, "Next time you go back to the provincial capital, bring your girlfriend with you, and I will invite you to a big dinner!" ”
"That's for sure."
We drank until the lights went out, and then we went back to the dormitory. Yang Xun didn't know why he went, and he hadn't come back yet. Xiao Hei drank too much, and when he returned to the bedroom, he fell asleep.
The next morning, I took him to the office of the spirit case team, and Xiao Hei accepted Zeng Yi's questioning. In the afternoon, when the inquiry was over, Xiao Hei planned to go back, and I took him to the station. At the time of parting, we hugged for a long time, and then we parted.
Regarding the Meishan homicide case, Xiao Hei said the same as me. Later, Zeng Yi took me and Yang Xun to Meishan, and after a few months, I revisited the old place, remembering the dangerous encounter on Meishan before, I still have palpitations.
There was still no human figure on Meishan, so I took Zeng Yi and Yang Xun to the abandoned construction site and pointed out the place where the bones of the nine-tailed fox were buried.
Zeng Yi asked Yang Xun and me to go down the mountain first, and he stayed alone on Meishan.
A few days later, Zeng Yi told me that he had written a report on the Meishan homicide case, and the Meishan homicide case was officially closed. He said that credit for my work was highlighted in the report, but I didn't really care about that.
A few days later, Zeng Yi threw me and Yang Xun a document that represented the beginning of another case.
This case began with the mysterious death of a teenager.
The boy's name is Yang Exin, 15 years old, his hometown is Hubei, and he came to the provincial capital with his parents who are working. A month ago, he was found dead in a rented rental house, and his death was extremely strange. After forensic examination, Yang E died of internal bleeding caused by the rupture of the gallbladder, and there were no internal and external injuries throughout the body.
In other words, he was scared to death.
What's even more bizarre is that when Yang Exin died, the doors and windows of the rental house were closed and locked from the inside. Yang Exin's parents came home from work and found that the door was locked and could not be opened, and knew that it was not good, so they broke into the door and found that their son was wrapped in a quilt and died on the bed with a frightened face.
The police intervened in the investigation, and for more than a week, nothing was found. Ten days later, another murder occurred in the same community, in another rental house not far from Yang Exin's home. The deceased was also a teenager named Qin Shou, 13 years old, from Jiangxi, who also came to the provincial capital with his parents who were working.
The cause of his death was exactly the same as Yang Exin's, and he was also scared to death. The doors and windows at the scene of the crime were also closed, and Qin Shou died in the bathroom.
According to the police investigation, Yang Exin and Qin Shou are familiar with each other and usually like to play together. So the police proceeded from this point to investigate the common social relationship between the two, but found nothing.
What is terrifying is that when the police are stepping up their investigative efforts, deaths are constantly playing out in the same community.
A week later, another 13-year-old boy died.
The deceased boy was named Wang Shengchu and was also the child of migrant workers. However, his death is a little different from Yang Exin's Qin Shou. He wasn't scared to death in his rented room, but fell off the rooftop of the roof.
However, after a forensic autopsy, Wang Shengchu's gallbladder ruptured and died before he fell to the ground.
So he was also scared to death. According to the investigation, Wang Shengchu and Yang Qin knew each other.
Within a month, three teenagers were killed in the same community, and the police could not find any traces of the murderer, so the public security bureau of the district asked for support from the higher-ups.
As a result, the case was transferred to Zeng Yi and became the task of the spirit case team.
"Judging from the investigation file of this 'serial murder case in a beautiful community', it really looks like a supernatural case!" After reading the entire file, Yang Xun closed the document and sighed.
"Nice neighborhood," I shook my head, "it's not good at all right now." ”
Zeng Yi asked us: "Don't be emotional, let's talk about your views on these three cases first." ”
Yang Xun said: "The three deceased lived in the same community, and they all knew each other, and they died one after another within a month, so I think these three cases can be regarded as one, and there should be only one murderer!" ”
Zeng Yi turned his gaze to me: "Chen Shen, what do you think?" ”
"Uh......" I groaned, "Yang Xun is right! I agree with him. ”
"That's good." Zeng Yi sent us a task, "This case will be handed over to the two of you to investigate, time is life, you two can set off." ”
……………
When Yang Xun and I arrived at the beautiful community, it was less than 11 o'clock in the morning, and it was just time for lunch. The name of the beautiful community is very beautiful, but the living environment inside is not beautiful at all.
Dirty and messy – that's my first impression of this neighborhood.
In such a community, the geographical location is not very good, and the rent is naturally not very high, so it has become a place where many migrant workers choose to rent.
According to the address provided in the document, we found Yang Exin's home. may be because the murderer has not been caught, so Yang Exin's parents have not moved away, and they are still in the original house.
Yang Xun and I asked Yang Exin's parents for details of Yang Exin's death, but their statements did not deviate from the scope of the documents and files. I was a little disappointed, and Yang Xun and I left the Yang family and found Qin Shou and Wang Shengchu's home.
