Chapter 25 Preparation with both hands
I took the case materials from He Zhiliang's hand, and while opening them, he explained the key points to me.
"The reason why I linked these two cases is actually because there are three similarities between these two cases, in my opinion."
First of all, he has the right to participate in both cases, and it remains to be verified why he was involved and how he participated in the two cases.
Secondly, both tragedies have one thing in common, that is, they look like murders, but there is no trace of the murderer left at the scene.
In Ho's words, both cases were too perfect for their crimes.
The previous case is quite reasonable, after all, it has been too long since the death of the deceased was discovered, and if the murderer has very skilled anti-investigation skills, then he has time to deal with the murder scene.
But the death of Yan Quan can't be explained, the police appeared at the scene of the murder almost at the same time as the crime, but there are still no clues at the scene except for me.
This feature is too weird.
Finally, it is also the fundamental reason why He Zhiliang associates the two cases together.
The police all found some kind of burnt ash of paper in an inconspicuous corner of the crime scene, and it appeared shortly after the crime.
In the case of the Simian community, the ashes appeared in the toilet.
And the case of Yan Quan appeared in the corner of the balcony of the office.
"I don't think it's a coincidence, can you think of anything?"
To be honest, I really admire He Zhiliang at this time, or I would say that others are professional.
Even such details can be associated with each other for so long.
And maybe this clue, even in He Zhiliang's eyes, I can't see any clues, but in my eyes, the murderer has been locked.
At the same time, he also affirmed that the one who killed the pregnant woman in the Simian community was also a puppeteer, and his purpose at that time should have been to raise ghost babies.
It's just that some things can't be explained clearly by yourself, and you also need to consider the question of whether others believe it or not.
I said, "Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" It's like this! ”
As I spoke, I took out my mobile phone, opened Douyin, opened the latest video under my homepage, and handed it to He Zhiliang.
He Zhiliang took it and looked at it, saying that they had seen this video when they were investigating me, and they didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking that it was for eye-catching shooting special effects.
I shook my head and said, "It's not special effects, I was just a little skeptical before, but now I can be sure that these two cases were committed by the same murderer, or the same organization." ”
Then I said four more words: "Paper people become enlightened".
After finishing speaking, I saw He Zhiliang frowning slightly, as if it was a little difficult to understand, and he said after a while.
"You mean to say that the murderers in both cases are paper people? It's a bit of a weird thing, so let's hear it! ”
Ho Chi-leung may be a little paranoid about his work at times, but he is not an absolute materialist, and he is happy to understand things that he has not been exposed to before.
I briefly told Ho Zhiliang what I knew, including how I got involved and how I discovered the paper puppet.
Of course, I touched it up a little, and I didn't say that the ghost baby was still being raised by Concubine Si, otherwise I was worried that He Zhiliang would bring it back for questioning.
After listening, He Zhiliang digested it for a while and said.
"Oh, according to this, it can explain why there are no traces at the scene, to be precise, there are traces, but the traces left by the paper figures are not within our reference. After the incident, the paper figure spontaneously combusted, leaving only a cloud of ashes, which was impossible to trace. ”
I nodded, I didn't expect He Zhiliang to accept it so quickly.
Immediately afterwards, He Zhiliang said again.
"But just because I can believe that the murderer is a paper man doesn't mean that the judge can believe it, so that still can't be evidence of your innocence. Unless we can catch the puppeteer who manipulates the paper man, I need your help! ”
He Zhiliang stretched out his right hand to me, and of course I am happy to cooperate with him.
First of all, he was the only one who believed my words at the official level.
Secondly, we have a common enemy, the puppeteer.
In the end, I can trust this person's character.
The reason why I trust Ho Zhiliang is not because of any feelings, but because of his attitude towards the case.
A case that has been characterized as headless after five or six years, it is estimated that the files are crawling with dust, this kind of hard work is not necessarily a thankless thing, only he remembers it, and spares no effort to find the murderer.
For this alone, he is worthy of the police uniform on his body, so I respect him and help myself.
After all, if you want to deal with the puppeteer, I alone is simply not enough, but what if I have official forces behind me? It's always reassuring!
I sent He Zhiliang downstairs, and along the way, he also told me that I must inform him as soon as I have any news, and don't act alone.
I nodded, looking at He Zhiliang's distant back, and finally saw some hope.
"Who is this man? Looking for you to do something? ”
Sister Hua clasped her hands in front of her chest, walked over leisurely, tilted her head and looked in the direction He Zhiliang left.
As soon as I saw that this didn't seem right, I hurriedly explained.
"Eh, this is the police, who asked me for details of the case, not me. And the person who fished me out should also know, called Zhang Ke. He did have something to do with me, and in return he was to help me get rid of my guilt. ”
I said this clearly enough, just now the police have no money.
The reward for helping Zhang Ke was to defend my innocence.
I want to use the same way to set a door of 58,000 yuan!
Fortunately, this time Sister Hua didn't make trouble unreasonably, maybe she thought that I had just come out of the detention center and took pity on me, but she just snorted coldly.
"In the future, I will have more eyes, don't believe anyone!"
I paused, I don't know who Sister Hua is talking about, Zhang Ke or He Zhiliang? I guess it's the former, after all, I don't fully believe in him either!
I nodded noncommittally, Sister Hua is also mixed up on the road, and her words still have a certain reference value.
After going upstairs, I began to prepare for Zhang Ke's affairs, although He Zhiliang is willing to help me now, but I can't pin all my hopes on him.
After all, there is no time to solve the case, I want a red star to prepare with both hands, and I can't put my eggs in one basket.
……
The next day, just after breakfast, I received a call from Zhang Ke, saying that I should go to the construction site immediately, he is now on the construction site, and there was an accident last night.
I took a taxi and went directly to the address given to me by Zhang Ke, and the taxi was driving on the highway along the river, and in the distance I saw a bridge across the river, but the middle position was not connected.
The taxi stopped at the entrance to the bridge, where it was stopped by a green tin sheet, and only a small gap was revealed next to it, which could only be passed by one person.
Seeing that I got out of the car and drilled into the small gap, the taxi driver kindly reminded me not to be curious, saying that this place is very evil, and many new media creators who like adventure have stayed here forever.
I smiled and nodded, and said that I would just see from a distance, and nothing would happen.
When I got into the tin gap, I saw several people surrounded on the bridge in the distance, one of whom was Zhang Ke in a suit.
"Boss Zhang, what's wrong?"
I trotted all the way forward, and peeked at Zhang Ke who was still lying behind a thing covered with a white cloth, judging from the outline, it should be a person.
Zhang Ke stretched out his hand and took my arm and walked to a pile of building materials in the distance before telling me that this morning, the person in charge of inspecting the construction site found that the old man Wu, who was in charge of the night vigil, had died.
He was also under tremendous pressure, asking people not to call the police, if the construction site was suspended and there were deaths, he couldn't cover it.
Zhang Ke continued: "Little Master, this matter is getting more and more evil every time, do you know how the old man Wu died?" It was pierced by the steel bars on the piers. ”
This is not the weirdest thing, the weirdest thing is that the original place where Old Man Wu kept vigil was opposite.
There is a distance of forty or fifty meters between the two sections of the bridge that have not yet closed the dragon, and if you want to get there, you have to take a boat or make a detour.
If you take a boat, there is no boat at night, and if you go around, it will take too long, so some people say that the old man Wu jumped from the opposite side.
