Case 17: Chapter 1: Halloween

As the saying goes, it is difficult to draw a dragon and a tiger, and it is difficult to know the face but not the heart.

The meaning of this is that it is easy to know a person, but it is difficult to understand a person's heart.

But what I want to say is that sometimes, not only do you not have a way to understand a person's heart, but even the other person's face is not necessarily real.

What? Who am I, you ask?!

Ahem......

Since you have asked sincerely, then I will tell you with great mercy! In order to prevent order from being disrupted, to maintain social stability, and to implement the rules of law and justice, he is a cute and charming police character.

Musashi! Kojiro! I'm sorry to go to the wrong set......

My name is Qin Mu, I am a criminal policeman of the serious crime team, I have just experienced a case investigation work of working overtime and not paying overtime pay day and night, and everyone worked together to finally solve this extraordinarily large serial murder case in more than a week.

During the investigation of the case, we took a lot of detours, locking up the suspect several times and excluding the suspect from the list several times.

The truth of the case also surprised us a little, this is not just a twin homicide case, but also a double personality homicide case. Now that it's really murderous, we can finally take a break.

November 1st, Halloween. Today, with the great integration of Chinese and Western cultures, Halloween is also a very popular festival among the people in China.

Everyone dressed in fancy costumes, carried jack-o-lanterns, and painted scary makeup on their faces, and went out on the streets.

"Trick-or-treating!"

Li Meng ran up to me in the costume of a little witch and shouted.

She wears a black peaked witch hat and a black cape, which is a very cute outfit, but why does she make the voice of a green man?

I looked at her in a daze, smiled, and said, "DNA is also sugar, or ......."

"What?" Li Meng frowned suddenly, not realizing what I meant.

"Poof-cough-cough-" Jiang Tingbai on the side was drinking water, and when he heard me speak, he squirted out of his saliva directly, if there was no wall to block it, it was estimated that he could spray the water directly to the criminal police team next door.

Li Meng still didn't understand what I meant, and looked at Jiang Tingbai very suspiciously.

But she quickly saw the clue from Jiang Tingbai's somewhat lewd smile, and suddenly came back to her senses, her face instantly turned red to the root of her ears, and then she raised her foot and slammed it on my right calf.

"Holy!"

In order to maintain order, in this kind of festival activities, it is often necessary to dispatch a large number of public security police to ensure the security situation at the scene, and there will be special police on duty to deal with possible emergencies.

As for the serious crime team, of course, it's a rest and play.

The five members of the Serious Crime Team naturally did not let go of this rare opportunity to rest, and all of them changed into Halloween costumes and prepared to go shopping.

The scenery of Ningzhou City at night is beautiful, and the lights are the protagonist of this long night. The streets are full of people, and the neon lights on the side of the road are like seven-colored silk, adding to the already golden pedestrian street.

Li Meng held a magic wand in his hand, stretched lazily, took a deep breath, and muttered, "Hmmโ€”the air is so good!" โ€

The late autumn air has a hint of coolness, and a deep breath is enough to refresh the spleen.

It's a wonderful feeling, and it feels like you've been reborn.

Lin Zifan, Jiang Tingbai and Xue Hang walked behind, chatting as they walked, giggling and laughing very happily.

Li Meng and I walked in front, like a couple, we don't need constant communication, we just need to feel this tranquility carefully, because as long as you are around, it is enough.

The streets are very lively, people come and go, everyone is dressed in strange costumes, and they are very happy. Every dozen or so steps, you will find a person in a doll costume standing on the side of the street, like the mascot of an amusement park.

Like a child, Li Meng was very curious about everything she saw, so she hurriedly ran to the doll and asked me to take a picture of her.

"Do you think it's a handsome guy or a beautiful woman in the doll suit?" Li Meng returned to me, looked at the photo on his phone, and suddenly asked me.

People will have such a behavior, that is, when they see incomplete things, they will subconsciously make up for the rest of the parts in a good direction.

To take the simplest example, when you see a girl wearing a mask on the street, although she only shows a pair of eyebrows, she will think of her as a beauty, and will subconsciously make up her face under the mask.

In psychology, this phenomenon is called "Gestalt psychology", also known as "Gestalt psychology".

"Maybe it's not handsome guys and beauties at all, but a big guy who picks his feet, or a pervert who specializes in hiding in a doll costume to peep at beautiful women." I leaned towards Li Meng's side and deliberately lowered my voice and said.

Li Meng frowned and glanced at me, and said to me with great disgust: "I think you look like a pervert." โ€

"What about perverts, then I'm also a good pervert." I snorted coldly and said to myself.

We were arguing when a child's cry was heard not far away.

The sound was heart-rending and piercing to the ear.

"Is it that the child can't find his parents?" Li Meng said suddenly.

"Parents nowadays are really careless!" I let out a long sigh and prepared to step forward to see what was going on.

After walking about twenty meters, we saw a little boy standing in front of a small supermarket on the road.

The little boy is dressed in a yellow pumpkin coat with a yellow pumpkin hood on the ground.

"What's wrong with you, kid? Can't find Mom and Dad? Li Meng hurriedly stepped forward, squatted beside the little boy and asked him, and helped him wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes from time to time.

The little boy choked up and couldn't say a complete sentence in his tears, and he trembled and pointed to the supermarket next to him.

Li Meng looked in the direction of the child's finger in confusion.

It's a privately owned commissary, a very small store, with a plaque that says "Cheap Supermarket".

The space in the commissary is very small, the glass door is closed, and the lights are still on inside.

Li Meng slowly stood up and pushed open the glass door.

The supermarket is very quiet inside, and the silence makes people feel a little uneasy, and I can't help but feel a chill down my spine.

Li Meng faintly felt that something was wrong, and she walked slowly into the door of the supermarket and looked around.

Inside the cash register at the door sat a woman, who was sleeping on a table so that she walked into her supermarket without being noticed.

Li Meng was about to step forward to ask, when he suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood.

As a detective, the smell of blood is a unique signal, and every time you have this smell, it means that there is a murder......
