Chapter 3: A Terrible Past

Li Mengzhu sat in the interrogation room, carefully and seriously telling Lu Ke and Su Simeng about what happened last night.

This incident had a great impact on her, and now she thinks about it with horror in her eyes and feels terrified.

It's hard to imagine what kind of terrifying things would have happened if Li Mengzhu hadn't succeeded in escaping last night.

"I thought I could scare him by picking up a brick, but I saw him take a folding knife out of his pocket!

He grabbed the knife and ran straight at me! I was so frightened that my mind went blank and I threw a brick at him.

But the brick didn't go far, it seemed to hit his calf, and then I turned around and ran.

I don't know how long I was running, I was really ...... I was completely confused, and I ran as hard as I could, until I ran into the subway station.

When I got in the car, my legs were limp.

Alas, I should have asked the security staff at the subway station for help at the time, and I was really scared silly.

I don't remember much about what happened after that, I don't even know how I got home......"

After listening to Li Mengzhu's words, Lu Ke and Su Simeng glanced at each other and fell into deep thought.

If the deceased Yuan Hongjie was the one who robbed Li Mengzhu last night, then there seem to be many incomprehensible things in this case.

First: Why did Yuan Hongjie rob with a knife on the street? Judging from the current situation, he should be a gambler, could it be that the casino lost money, so he came out to rob?

Second: If Yuan Hongjie really wanted to rob Li Mengzhu and had a knife in his hand, then why didn't he continue to chase after Li Mengzhu threw bricks and resisted? Judging from Yuan Hongjie's figure, he has no disability and is quite strong. Li Mengzhu is a woman, thin and weak, no matter how you look at it, if Yuan Hongjie wants to continue to catch up, Li Mengzhu will not be able to escape no matter what.

Third: After Li Mengzhu escaped, did Yuan Hongjie re-choose the target to continue the robbery? So was his death counter-killed by the next robbery target?

Fourth: If it is determined that he was killed by the next robbery target, then what does this case have to do with the hexagram? Did he really happen to snatch the six-pointed murderer? Or the deliberate homicide of the six-pointed murderer?

Fifth: If all this is an oolong, Yuan Hongjie didn't want to rob Li Mengzhu at all, then why was he killed by the six-pointed star murderer? is different from the previous revenge murder of 27 stab wounds in Yan Xing's case, Yuan Hongjie was killed by a knife, what was the motive for the killing?

One question after another appeared in Lu Ke's mind, but there was no accurate answer to these questions at present.

Lu Ke froze and continued to ask, "Did he continue to chase you after you threw a brick at him?" How long have you been chasing you? When did you find out he's gone? ”

These issues are very important, and the police have found a homicide and a robbery, and whether it can be combined into a robbery and homicide is a very critical issue.

In other words, it is unknown whether the person who was going to rob Li Mengzhu last night was Yuan Hongjie or not.

After Li Mengzhu heard this question, the whole person was instantly stunned, and she fell into deep memories, what could have been sure was now drawn with a question mark.

Li Mengzhu recalled for a long time, and then slowly spoke, and replied: "I only remember that he was chasing me with a knife, and after I smashed him, he ran desperately, desperately...... I haven't looked back, he must have been chasing me...... I was running down that street, and then I turned into another street, I guess I got rid of him at that time......"

Listening to Li Mengzhu's somewhat ambiguous words, Lu Ke and Su Simeng pursed their lips and hesitated.

Su Simon looked at her, trying to slow down his tone, not to put pressure on her, and to build a perfect memory space for her: "Ms. Li, we know that you encountered a very terrible thing last night, and even now you will feel scared when you think about it, but every clue you provide will help us catch him as soon as possible, so, can you recall it carefully?" ”

Li Mengzhu nodded vigorously, her hands clasped tightly together, and every cell in her body was trying to recall.

She was silent for about two minutes, and then said faintly: "I seem to ...... Remember...... I was running around the corner into the next street when I heard a thump fall to the ground......"

"I was running to the right at the time......," Li Mengzhu said, and his body subconsciously turned to the right to restore the situation at that time.

Lu Ke opened his mouth and confirmed to her seriously: "You said that when you turned right and ran down the street, you heard the sound of falling to the ground?" ”

Li Mengzhu nodded: "It should be ...... It's the sound of falling to the ground......"

Lu Ke continued to ask: "And then?" ”

Li Mengzhu thought about it and let out a long sigh: "I really can't remember...... I can't even remember how I got home......"

Lu Ke asked again, "Then do you see the person's appearance clearly?" ”

Li Mengzhu still shook his head: "The street lights were very dim at that time, and he carried the lights on his back...... I didn't see it, all I knew was that he was a man with a folding knife in his hand. ”

Lu Ke nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, if you think of something in the future, you can contact the police at any time, we will file a case for investigation, and we will sign your transcript later, and give you a receipt of filing the case, and I will contact you if there is news." ”

After speaking, Lu Ke handed Li Mengzhu to the other criminal policemen, went to sign some documents, and left the interrogation room with Su Simeng.

"I don't think Li Mengzhu's words can be completely trusted, and when a person is in a situation of extreme panic, recalling something that makes him feel scared will have a serious memory bias. When a scenario of her own imagination appears in her mind, she will expand her ideas according to this hypothetical scenario until she conceives an event that does not exist at all, or is very different from the truth. Su Simeng said as he walked.

Lu Ke nodded and agreed with him: "At present, Yuan Hongjie was indeed stabbed to death with a folding knife, but the specific situation is not clear. For the time being, hand over this robbery case to the criminal police in the jurisdiction to continue the investigation, we still have to go all out to investigate this Yuan Hongjie murder case. In addition, communicate with the criminal police in the jurisdiction to share information about the robbery, if it is determined that it is a robbery and homicide case, then we will investigate the case. Also, let the trace inspection department compare the six-pointed star pendant with the six-pointed star pendant in Yan Xing's case to see if the six-pointed star is to be investigated. ”

Su Simeng nodded, turned around and went to contact the public security bureaus in various jurisdictions.

In the office of the criminal police team, Mo Yufei has already retrieved the personal information of the deceased Yuan Hongjie.

"Yuan Hongjie, 32 years old, from Jing'an City, high school education, unmarried, with a criminal record."

Mo Yufei handed a case file to Lu Ke.

Lu Ke looked through the file, which said that Yuan Hongjie was sentenced to four years and six months in prison six years ago for multiple burglaries and gathering crowds to gamble.

"It seems that it has only been released for a few years, and now the burglary has turned into a knife robbery." Lu Ke said lightly.

Mo Yufei continued: "This Yuan Hongjie is a gambler, addicted to gambling, and often wanders around the major underground casinos, but every time he wins less and loses more, he belongs to the kind of vegetable and fun-loving. ”

After speaking, Mo Yufei handed over another piece of Yuan Hongjie's personal information: "We investigated that Yuan Hongjie borrowed 50,000 yuan on an online loan platform, and now it is overdue. ”

Lu Ke took the information and asked, "Loan shark?" ”

Mo Yufei shook his head: "A regular online loan platform." ”
