Chapter 21: Cats, Dogs, Rats, and Geese

Zhang Lu is a very special person among all the victims of abnormal suicide.

The rest of the suicide victims, no matter what, can always find some unsatisfactory things in life as a reason for his suicide.

It is precisely because of this that the existence of abnormal suicides in Blue Lake City has not attracted official attention.

After all, suicide is very common, and it is really not special. No one would be interested in a case of eucalyptus with solid evidence of suicide, and no one would put a lot of effort into investigating it.

Only Zhang Lu really has no reason to commit suicide.

She was so happy.

Promotions and salary increases, close friends, kind colleagues, happy families, kind people, middle-class appearance, and perfect love. Her life seems to be full of goodness, and there is not a trace of unsatisfactory things.

Even the vigilantes in charge of investigating the case couldn't find any possible reason for her to commit suicide.

But she just committed suicide.

It is precisely because of this that Feng Guozhu's vigilance was aroused, and he began to seriously investigate the eucalyptus, and then discovered the abnormality of the suicide rate, and discovered the existence of abnormal suicide eucalyptus, so that the second follow-up team took over.

She is the beginning of all events.

At this moment, her avatar also appeared in this box.

But in this box, she didn't have the beginning. Underneath her avatar, there was a thick stack of paper.

He Wei was still putting the papers into the evidence bag one by one. When she was about to get to the end, He Wei saw a familiar avatar again.

This is a young man. The face is full of meat, bald head, a scar on the face, triangular eyes. At first glance, he is very vicious, and at first glance he is not a good person.

Wu Biao.

The first person who has been documented to have committed suicide abnormally. At the beginning, it was precisely because of Wu Biao's death that Nanlin Street had the custom of placing gossip mirrors to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, and it has been passed down to the present.

But Wu Biao's avatar is not at the bottom. Below him, there are three or four more sheets.

"Before Wu Biao, there were still the deceased who committed suicide abnormally?"

He Wei took out Wu Biao's avatar. Somewhat unexpectedly, under Wu Biao, a cat was drawn on that piece of paper.

The fur is a little messy, and there are some skinny cats.

Lu Ming suddenly remembered the master who made the residents of Nanlin Street put gossip mirrors, Zhou Mingsheng.

Zhou Mingsheng once confessed that when he came to Nanlin Street to practice, a cat committed suicide in front of him. He was so scared that he left the next day, and he didn't even dare to ask for more money.

Underneath this cat, again, is not a man, but a mouse.

Vivid, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, a gray-haired mouse.

Underneath the rats, is a flock of geese. Underneath the goose, is a dog.

And then there will be none.

The box was empty.

The number of papers in the box was also counted, and there were 1,236 sheets.

1236!

Excluding the four animal portraits, the number is 1232. If all these 1,232 people were victims of unnatural suicides...... Doesn't this mean that this Wang Quan killed 1,232 people?!

This number, like an invisible giant claw, choked Lu Ming's throat and made his breathing a little unsmooth. There was a great fear in his heart.

1232 living lives! 1,232 families that could have been happy!

This number made Lu Ming, who had seen many big scenes, a little uncontrollable.

After this box, the search for Wang Quan's courtyard continued. At this time, the security officer who had been sent out by Zhang Dingshan to verify the situation also returned.

"The report has been verified that the person in the portrait is named Fei Ming, who committed suicide about a month ago. At that time, the reason for the investigation was that his girlfriend had broken up with him. Because of the reasonable motives, it was not included in the list of abnormal suicides. Further developments are under investigation. ”

Lu Ming nodded.

It seems that this Fei Ming's suicide is actually unreasonable.

At this moment, more than 1,200 sketch avatars have been sent to the Public Security Bureau. Zhang Dingshan gave the order, and immediately after that, dozens of security guards wearing full-body protective clothing went to screen them one by one.

Which avatar depicts whom, and whether it is on your own list of abnormal suicides, all have to be screened one by one.

In the process, the search for Wang Quan's courtyard finally ended. Aside from the box and the portrait inside, nothing of note has been found.

After almost emptying Wang's family, the alert was finally lifted. And it's almost dawn at the moment.

Even the residents of the neighborhood probably wouldn't know that such a big thing happened last night in such a place so close to them.

In a hospital in Blue Lake City, guarded by many security guards, the leader of the doctor team walked out.

"This is the patient's physical examination report."

A security officer looked at it, and then faxed it to the Public Security Bureau, where it was presented to Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming.

"Hmm...... Chronic gastritis, chronic rhinitis ......"

There are several disease names listed above. But none of them are serious. On the whole, this Wang Quan is still healthy.

But Lu Ming is not concerned about this aspect. What he is more concerned about is whether this Wang Quan is normal, or rather, he ...... It's still not a human at all.

Frankly speaking, until now, there is no evidence that Wang Quan is the murderer.

After all, it's not illegal to draw a stranger's head, right? It's not illegal to use a needle to make a curse, is it? Now it's not ancient times, there was a witch curse in ancient times, and pricking the villain with a needle may wipe out the nine clans. But in modern society, no one would believe that curses can curse people to death.

As for the fact that the person who painted coincides with the abnormal suicide, this can also be explained by complete coincidence. If you insist that it is not a coincidence, then bring out the evidence. Wang Quan can completely say, I just have nothing to do with painting casually, they all die in the end, what does it matter to me. Why, you ask? You ask me, I ask who goes? I don't know?

However, all the logic and clues all point to Wang Quan.

From the standpoint of the second action team, for several members of the second action team with rich experience in handling supernatural events, relying on the clues at this moment, it is almost certain that Wang Quan is the murderer.

It was his "curse" behavior that led to the abnormal suicide of those people. Although it is not clear why Wang Quan's curse has an effect, this does not prevent you from identifying this reality.

Then a question arises.

Why?

Why can Wang Quan's curse take effect? Is there something abnormal in Wang Quan's body? Is he still human? Or is there something unusual about the tool he's using? Is that the pencil? Those papers? Or is it the idol? Or is it the ritual he used?

This is something that must be explored.

At this moment, with the arrival of this physical examination report, he can at least preliminarily rule out the suspicion that "Wang Quan's body has something abnormal".

Lu Ming shook his head, put the physical examination report aside, and didn't pay attention to it anymore.

"When will Wang Quan wake up?"

"He was in a deep coma and is expected to take 6-8 hours to wake up."

"Captain, let's form a team of interrogation experts and psychology and psychiatric experts, and prepare to start the interrogation when he wakes up."

Zhang Dingshan agreed to Lu Ming's proposal: "Let Qingliang find someone." ”

Looking at Zhang Dingshan's meaning, he wanted to find the top team and treat Wang Quan as a breakthrough in the follow-up investigation.

"Okay."

After a few more moments, the initial screening of those sketch avatars was finally completed. Through comparison and query in the internal system, all these people were found.

Each sketch avatar has a counterpart to someone who exists or has existed in reality.

What Lu Ming expected was that those who were drawn on paper and subjected to Wang Quan's curse were not all dead.

"Isn't Wang Quan's curse 100% effective? Under his curse, there are still survivors? ”

This is a completely new discovery. Before, Lu Ming thought that this was 100% certain death.

"Of the 1,232 people, 106 are still alive. These people are all over the world, and six of them are here in Blue Lake City at the moment. ”

"Do a handwriting test and check when the avatar was drawn. Check out the itinerary of these 106 people again to see if they were in Blue Lagoon during that time period and where they went afterward. ”

"Yes."

After instructing a security officer, Zhang Dingshan said: "How many of the 1,126 people besides these 106 people coincide with the abnormal suicide cases that we have already grasped?" ”

"From Wu Biao 14 years ago to Qi Huan, the closest Qi Huan, among the 852 people we have mastered, 809 of the 1,126 people overlap."

1,126 portraits, minus the overlapping 809 people, there are 317 people left. The suicides of these 317 people were considered normal. But now it seems that their suicide may also have been justified.

In addition, if you have a total of 852 cases of abnormal suicides, minus the 809 overlapping people, the remaining 43 people may be reasonable suicides, but they are determined to be unreasonable.

This kind of thing is unavoidable. After all, no matter how precise the investigation is, it can only restore the truth as much as possible, but it is impossible to completely reach the truth.

"Go check the 317 and 43 suicides."

"Yes."

In the early morning of the rising sun, many security officers who had not slept all night were ordered to leave.

The first report came about the 106 survivors, 6 of whom are in Blue Lagoon at the moment.

"Six years ago, you say? July 14th? I forgot that I have to come to the Blue Lagoon three or four times a year. I'm not from the Blue Lakers, but I travel a lot, and I come here for a few days and leave. I check my travel history...... Uh, I did be in the Blue Lagoon on July 14 six years ago, but left that afternoon, what's wrong?

South Grove Street? Chestnut cake? I want to think about it...... I remembered that at that time, it was a manager of Party A who invited me to dinner, and after eating, I wanted to bring some special products back, so I went to buy chestnut cakes...... That time was also unpleasant, the stall owner who sold chestnut cakes, I vaguely remember that he was very short, ugly and thin, the quality of some of your people in the Blue Lake is really not high, he took me chestnut cakes, accidentally fell to the ground, I asked him to change one he refused to change, and said that I bullied him. Can I get used to him? I just left and didn't buy it!

Then I rushed to the train station and left. I haven't been to Nanlin Street much since then. Uh, no, I went there again, and I remember that the stall owner was still selling chestnut cakes, and my colleague wanted to buy it, so I stopped it. I haven't been there since. ”

This is the first person's record of inquiry.

The second person's interrogation records indicate that he had indeed been to South Grove Street five years earlier, around Feb. 16, a date that was also within the time frame for which the handwriting had been identified.

"I came here to run, at that time I had a girlfriend online in the Blue Lagoon, but unfortunately I found out that it was a cheat when I met, so I blew it. At that time, I thought that I couldn't come for nothing, I had to taste some local food, so I checked it on the Internet and went to Nanlin Street.

Chestnut cake, you say? I remember. The stall owner is not authentic, he has the last piece left, the weight is obviously smaller than normal, I said that he refused to sell me for five yuan, he had to get seven yuan. I won't buy it, he will scold me for bullying him, this person is insane. He also cursed me not to die well, and I was a little afraid that he would find someone to beat me, so I took the car and left. Where to go? Go back to my house. ”

The records of the six men's interrogations were fairly consistent.

All six of them had been to Nanlin Street within the identified time frame, and they had an unpleasant quarrel with Wang Quan. After an unpleasant incident, the six left the Blue Lagoon on the same day.

For those in the field, after requesting the assistance of the local security bureau, the first seven survivors gave similar answers.

Lu Ming was thoughtful.

Perhaps, this is the reason why these people were cursed by Wang Quan, but they did not die in the end. Wang Quan's portrait curses people usually at night. But at night they were no longer in the Blue Lagoon, and the distance was far away. Perhaps that's why the curse doesn't work. And those who stayed in the Blue Lagoon and did not leave were unfortunately killed. ”

"Wang Quan's curse still has a distance limit" seems a bit ridiculous. But at the moment it is the only plausible explanation.

Follow-up inquiries are ongoing. All of the 106 survivors will be asked. However, Lu Ming felt that this should be the case.

After that, Wang Quan was painted with a portrait, but he was not included in the investigation of the suicide of the abnormal suicide.

A total of 317 cases, spanning up to 14 years.

Under the conscious investigation, many clues have emerged. After just one morning of investigation, five suicides were eventually determined to be abnormal.

Maybe some eucalyptus seeds are too old to be identified as abnormal or normal, but this trend makes Lu Ming believe that the high probability of errors and omissions is his own, and it is unlikely to be Wang Quan.

As for the 43 suicides that he thought were unreasonable suicides, but Wang Quan did not portray them, after careful investigation, two of them were finally ruled out and found to be reasonable for suicide.

Lu Ming also believed that it was his own side that was wrong, not Wang Quan.

After all, Wang Quan has the final right to interpret.

Now, it's afternoon. Wang Quan is about to wake up.
