Chapter 208: Peeling Back the Cocoon (3)

"The colleague who handled the case at that time deliberately summed up two characteristics for the victim."

"One is that this person has a very amazing ability to self-hypnosis. It seems that she doesn't care about the negative impact of all kinds of rumors on her life, but in fact, she is very capable of 'self-hypnosis, that is, when something happens, she can act as if nothing happened, without summarizing or reflecting, the past is over, and then continue to have fun."

"Then there is her cognitive ability, comprehension ability, judgment ability, and the way she sees problems is different from that of normal people. Those bad things that can't be seen in the light and can't be seen, but she sees them as 'a manifestation of 'living bravely and daring to try; As for her own *** behavior, she actually thinks that 'sexual experience, which is an advantage, and will have an advantage in marriage and love.'"

"After that, the woman called the police many times in the name of 'being defrauded, and the bureau knew what was probably going on, so they all kicked it back to the local police station to deal with it......

Wang Xing told about this "strange person" and "strange thing" on the way back, but Lao Liu and Ouyang were still absent-minded.

At the scene of the "Zhou Xiaolu case" at Bonan University, the three of them met what the students called the "obscene old man". After questioning, it was learned that this person was actually Zhou Xiaolu's grandfather, the old man.

After Zhou Xiaolu was killed, the old man came to Shashi, initially ran to the Shashi City Public Security Bureau every day to inquire about the investigation results of the case, and after asking for a long time to no avail, he wandered around Bonan University every day, and then lived directly in the pavilion in the back mountain, which was the scene of the crime that year.

There seems to be some problems in Old Man Feng's mental state, which is not normal or abnormal. This ill-fated stubborn old man, who seems to be still living with his head held high, also seems to have been beaten dizzy by fate.

Let's say he's normal, he treats all the girls in the school as "Xiaolu", and when he meets a girl at school, he sometimes follows him, and then smiles all the way behind him and shouts to the female students: "Xiaolu, I'm grandpa......

This must have frightened a lot of female students, and it had already alarmed the school. The school had sent him to a homeless shelter, but he had been sent there the day before, and he had run out the next day. After repeating this several times, after communication, the school slowly figured out his situation, and since he was not "aggressive" or "harmful", they turned a blind eye to his behavior of living in the back mountain.

Let's say that he is abnormal, he can clearly express his identity and origin, and he has never done anything "out of line", and even when Lao Liu said, "At your age, you should stay at home well", a glimmer of light flashed in his cloudy eyes, saying, "Don't worry, I won't die until I catch the murderer."

It was this sentence that made the three of them fall silent, and even a little "ashamed".

There is not a single police officer who does not want to solve a murder case. When faced with an unsolved case, all police officers are most afraid of facing the victim's family, and they would rather face the most vicious criminals or suspects.

The old man stayed at the scene of the crime, and he waited for 15 years, and what he wanted was a result.

The hearts of the three of them were as heavy as if they were being weighed down by lead.

Wang Xing deliberately diverted the attention of Lao Liu and Ouyang, and then talked about the above-mentioned "strange people" and "strange cases", but the effect did not seem to be obvious.

"According to the archives of the 'Zhou Xiaolu case', the specific place where Zhou Xiaolu's body was found was under the 'mushroom stone' on the lake behind Bonan University, not on the side of the lake."

"Just now, the old man said that in the early years, when Wang Kang arrived on Xiaolu's death day, he would put a bouquet of flowers under the 'mushroom stone' in Houhu Lake to pay tribute to Xiaolu......

Ouyang suddenly stopped and said a few words.

The "Mushroom Stone" in the back mountain of Bonan University is the product of the earth's crustal movement in ancient times, the result of natural evolution, and it is also a wonder given to human beings by nature.

The boulders raised by the movement of the earth's crust were formed into their current shape by natural forces such as flowing water and weathering.

At the bottom, there are fossils formed by the solidification of crushed sand and gravel, and there are traces of flowing water, so it can be judged that the position of the boulder should be in the middle of the river before the earth's crustal movement came. The main part of it has traces of weathering, which is enough to prove that its existence is roughly more than 10,000 years old.

The overall height is 4.3 meters, the diameter of the upper part is 4.8 meters, and the diameter of the bottom is 0.7 meters.

The "mushroom stone" has never changed due to its origin and special shape.

In the communication with Mr. Feng just now, the old man did not mean to blame the police, but expressed his gratitude to Zhou Xiaolu after Zhou Xiaolu was killed, some students who knew Zhou Xiaolu in the school would occasionally put a few bouquets of flowers by the Houshan Lake to commemorate Zhou Xiaolu's behavior.

The old man mentioned it in passing, saying that among these people, there is a handsome young man who is white and clean, and he will come over on Xiaolu's death day for several years, and the position of the flowers is different from others.

Others always find a random place to put down the flowers by the lake, but he always only puts the flowers under the "mushroom stone", and it is also the side of the lake behind the stone.

As time went on, Zhou Xiaolu's classmates and friends graduated one after another and left the school one after another, and this form of memorial or commemoration did not last long.

Then the old man muttered a few more words, saying that the young man seemed to be quiet, but he never spoke, and even when he asked him, there was no response.

also muttered that if Xiaolu is looking for a boyfriend, she is likely to find such a "stuffy gourd", Xiaolu always thinks that she talks a lot, and if she finds a "other half" who talks less, she can "complement each other" in personality......

The old man suspected that the person was Zhou Xiaolu's "boyfriend" before his death.

The three of them knew it well, they all knew that Zhou Xiaolu had not found any "boyfriend" back then, and even if she "had", it was Shi Jun who did not match the role of "boyfriend" in terms of gender, or Shang Biao, the "Sea King" who talked so much that she could fool an ignorant girl.

Soon, they thought of Wang Kang, and then took out his photo, originally thinking that so many years had passed, coupled with the old man's increasingly trance-like mental state, they might not necessarily remember the appearance of the "handsome guy" he said.

As a result, the old man's eyes lit up when he saw the photo: "It's him, this young man's eyes are very deep, like a pool of spring water, I won't admit it." He's supposed to be married now......

There are not a few cases in which criminal suspects return to the scene of the crime after the crime. Most of these criminals do this to satisfy their sense of accomplishment.

Wang Kang was reclassified as a "criminal suspect" by the three people, returned to the scene of the crime, and appeared in the form of a "memorial" on the victim's death day for several consecutive years, which should not only be to satisfy the sense of achievement. For Wang Kang, Zhou Xiaolu seems to have a different special significance.

The three did not dare to tell the old man that this person had been reclassified as a suspect by them.

"The location where Wang Kang placed the flowers is precisely the location of Zhou Xiaolu's corpse? The other students only knew the approximate location of Zhou Xiaolu's murder, but Gu **** definitely didn't know, so when commemorating Zhou Xiaolu, they would put flowers by the lake."

"Wang Kang's move, is it a coincidence, or is it deliberate?"

Ouyang asked one last question.

Before the case is solved, the clues at the scene of the crime will not be released to the outside world. In other words, the only people who know that Zhou Xiaolu's body is located are the informant, the police and the real murderer.

If Wang Kang is "deliberate", then he is the real murderer.

Lao Liu and Wang Xing quickly understood what Ouyang meant.

"These situations will be reported to Team Yang clearly at that time...... Let's report to Team Lee first." Lao Liu said.

After receiving the details of the case, Li Zhudao gave them an unexpected direction of investigation the next day:

"In this case, Zhou Xiaolu's two cousins did not have the time to commit the crime, so they were ruled out by the police at that time."

"Wang Kang, with his natural 'social disability', is indeed likely to confuse and avoid the public in the transcripts of that year

The police suspect that they have successfully fooled through. In other words, Wang Kang may indeed be the real murderer."

"Whether it is Zhou Xiaolu's two cousins, or Shang Biao, Shi Jun and Li Haidong, that is, Wang Kang, they are all direct suspects in the crime."

"But in this case, there is another indirect suspect, who is Liu Yuanyuan, the girlfriend of Biao at the time."

"Because Liu Yuanyuan has no direct connection with Zhou Xiaolu, and Shang Biao denied that Liu Yuanyuan knew about Zhou Xiaolu's existence, the Shashi police did not take her as a suspect. After all, on the face of it, there is really no suspicion that she committed the crime."

"At that time, the Shashi police contacted Liu Yuanyuan by phone, and they only confirmed Shang Biao's itinerary with her, and did not carefully check her own itinerary before and after the crime, nor did they have any investigation into her. This may make Liu Yuanyuan a fish that slipped through the net."

"Shang Biao claimed that Liu Yuanyuan did not know about the existence of Gou Shanshan, Yuan Yuting and Zhou Xiaolu, and it is possible that he did not know that Liu Yuanyuan knew about the existence of these people."

"Last year, there was a case of a second spouse murdering a junior in Yancheng, do you still have an impression?"

"The woman's spouse of the second marriage, that is, the criminal, went behind her husband's back and asked the gangsters to come to the door to threaten the mistress, originally just wanted the gangsters to scare her and let her leave her husband, but the gangsters got excited and had bad intentions, and finally killed the mistress by mistake in the process of violence."

"In this case, the mastermind's husband also thought that he had done a good job of secrecy, and it wasn't until the police came to the door and arrested his spouse that he reacted, and it turned out that his spouse had known about the existence of the mistress for a long time."

"The perpetrator claimed that she wanted to tell her husband by letting Xiao San leave by herself, that what was outside was just dewy love and drama on the spot, and what was at home was eternal and sincere."
