Chapter 60—The Cause and Effect (I)

I was silent, and he continued, "Is it really a ghost dream for you? ”

Although this statement is not true, it is not far from the actual situation, so I nodded.

Officer Zeng asked, "But you have nothing to do with Lin Zihui, why do you want to give you your dream?" ”

I thought Officer Zeng had already believed me, but now listening to his question and looking at his eyes, I still have some doubts about me, so I can only shake my head helplessly and say, "How do I know... Perhaps, because the guy who dreamed of it knew that I was more enthusiastic. ”

Officer Zeng stared at me condescendingly, shook his head, but did not speak again. I thought I wouldn't have anything to talk to about with you, so I got up and prepared to leave. Officer Zeng didn't stop me, I walked a few steps outside, and suddenly remembered something, took the ring out of my pocket, and handed it to him. Officer Zeng looked at me suspiciously and said, "This is?" ”

I explained the origin of the ring, and after listening to it, Officer Zeng showed a complicated expression and said, "He's so stupid......

After handing over the ring to Officer Tsang, I felt relaxed. This matter has nothing to do with me, I don't have to worry about it.

The quiet campus time always flies quickly, class training, time has passed more than a month, and just when I was about to forget about Xiaolan and Lin Zihui, Officer Zeng came to me again. This time, he came to report the good news to me, Lin Zihui's case was solved, and the murderer was caught.

This murder case that happened more than ten years ago, there are no witnesses, no clues, no clues, and no direction, and finally the case can be solved, Officer Zeng said that it is providence. And after listening to the whole process of solving the case, I felt that there was a supernatural force that was washing away Lin Zihui's grievances.

Because it was a complete coincidence that the murderer could be found, or some kind of miracle.

The key to solving the case is one thing, which is the ring I gave to Officer Zeng.

Officer Zeng took the rusty and blackened ring to the goldsmith to remove the dirt on the surface and restore the original appearance of the ring. The shape and style of the ring are somewhat different from the rings on the market now, and on the inside of the ring, the word 'Hui' is engraved, and the owner of the gold shop said that it looks like it is custom-made, and the style has been around for some years.

Officer Zeng recalled that Lin Zihui also mentioned it to him back then, saying that the rings he was wearing on his hands were a pair and were custom-made by Hu Xiaolan. Officer Zeng followed the clues of the ring, went to various goldsmith stores in the provincial capital, and spent more than half a month to find out the store that helped Hu Xiaolan customize the ring back then. According to the shopkeeper, the rings made to order in their store are all unique, and there is only one pair in the world.

When Officer Zeng found out about this step, he thought that the clue would be broken, but he didn't expect that this was the beginning of the future.

For more than a month after Lin Zihui's body was discovered, Officer Zeng has been visiting the people who remained in the police academy in the summer of the accident, hoping to find any clues. It's a lot of work and it's very inefficient, but it turns out that it's this seemingly untechnical act that finds the culprit.

Officer Zeng visited the classmates, teachers, school leaders, and cleaners of the police academy back then, and found nothing for nearly a month, but he did not give up and visited them one by one according to the list he found. Eventually, he found the murderer's home, but of course he didn't know that the person was the murderer beforehand.

Officer Zeng asked the murderer about the situation in the normal way, and asked him if he had seen or heard anything unusual back then. The murderer's behavior and reaction were normal, calm and not flustered, and Officer Zeng did not see that he was the murderer.

Naturally, the questioning was fruitless, and Officer Zeng planned to leave.

At this time, the five or six-year-old son of the murderer's family suddenly rushed out and bumped into Officer Zeng. When Officer Zeng helped the child up, he suddenly found a ring in the child's hand, which was exactly the same shape and style as the ring I gave him. Officer Zeng paid attention at the time, took the ring over, and found that the inside of the ring was engraved with the word 'Lan'.

With this unexpected discovery, the truth of Lin Zihui's death has finally been revealed!

After the murderer was arrested, under the ironclad evidence of the ring, he confessed to the fact of killing Lin Zihui.

More than ten years ago, the murderer was a security guard at the police academy. On the night of the killing, he wandered around the school, and when he walked to Xiaolan Lake, he found Lin Zihui's clothes and pants taken off on the shore. The murderer had a crooked thought for a while, and turned up Lin Zihui's clothes and pants. Lin Zihui had no other belongings in his clothes and pants, only a ring he took off from his hand.

The murderer took the ring, and when he wanted to leave, he happened to meet Lin Zihui coming out of the lake. The murderer was flustered and fled, although Lin Zihui didn't know that his ring had been taken away by the murderer, he also knew that there was something abnormal, so he chased after him. Chased to the edge of Liuhu, Lin Zihui caught up with the murderer, and after a scuffle, the murderer killed Lin Zihui by mistake.

Later, the murderer found a rope, tied a stone, and threw Lin Zihui's body into Liuhu. At that time, the police academy was on summer vacation, there were not many people in the school, and it was night when the crime occurred, so no one found out during the murder and body dumping process.

Later, Lin Zihui did not return overnight, Zeng Yi, who was in the same dormitory, found that something was wrong, went to Xiaolan Lake to look for it, found the clothes and pants left by Lin Zihui, and knew that something was wrong, so there was the story that later circulated in the police academy.

Standing on the shore of Xiaolan Lake, listening to Officer Zeng tell about the murder that happened more than ten years ago, I was embarrassed to recall the past. Officer Zeng was also very emotional and said to me: "Before Lin Zihui's accident, the theory that there was a bottomless pit in Yanghu Lake connected to the Qianjiang River was already very popular. So when we found the clothes and pants left by Lin Zihui on the shore, we didn't think about the murder, thinking that Lin Zihui's disappearance was related to the bottomless pit and was an accident. Otherwise, if the investigation of Lin Zihui's disappearance had been launched back then, the murderer might have been arrested long ago. ”

Sitting on a rock, blowing the cold north wind, my mind went back from more than a decade ago to the present, and a thought moved in my heart.

"Officer Zeng, I have a question I want to ask you."

"Just ask."

I thought about it for a moment and said, "I don't think there's any logic in it. ”

Officer Zeng asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's just..."I pretended to think for a while, frowned, and said, "It's just that when you found the clothes and pants left by Lin Zihui, why did you think that he was swept away by the bottomless pit at the bottom of the lake?" Although there was a bottomless pit in the police academy at that time, there is no reason to conclude that he had an accident in the lake, right? ”

I have a vague answer to this question.

The answer is rings. If Officer Zeng knew that Lin Zihui went into the water to find Xiaolan's lost ring, then it would make sense that they would think that Lin Zihui's death was an accident. It's just that Officer Zeng didn't say it just now, so I deliberately raised this question to lead the topic to the ring and Hu Xiaolan.

I did this for Hu Xiaolan. Lin Zihui's body has been salvaged, and the truth of his death has been revealed to the world. But Hu Xiaolan's body has not been found. If possible, I hope to convince Officer Zeng to use the power of the police to bring Hu Xiaolan's body to life. Because Hu Xiaolan's body is likely to be still in the secret passage connecting Xiaolan Lake and the river.

It is a tradition of the Chinese to enter the soil for peace.

After sleeping for ten years, once he woke up, he only thought of Lin Zihui, begged me for him, and cleared his grievances.

I don't believe that things could be so coincidental, when Officer Zeng found the murderer, the murderer's son would rush to Officer Zeng with the ring for no reason. Because although more than ten years have passed, it is murder evidence after all, and I believe that the murderer must have collected it well and will not let his son play with it. So I think that all this happened, behind the exposure of the murderer, there was Hu Xiaolan's residual strength and resentment at the mercy.

Such a woman, even if she is a ghost, makes me admire, so I want to do something for her.

I thought Officer Zeng would talk about the ring, but his answer surprised me a little: "You think the logic doesn't make sense, because you don't know what happened at that time, and it was that incident that happened, so we take Lin Zihui's death for granted." ”
