Chapter 119: Pretending to be a ghost

As a police officer, Ho Ka-fai doesn't believe in any "ghosts asking for their lives", and in his experience, in all supernatural cases, someone is deliberately pretending to be a ghost.

So He Jiahui opened his mouth and asked the security guard: "Do you think the deceased looks like a psychopath, so what abnormal behavior does he usually have?" ”

The security guard thought for a while and said, "I remember last week, one day I was on the night shift, about one o'clock in the morning, he was shirtless, came and knocked on the door of the security room, saying that it was the faucet of their sink, and all the blood that flowed out was blood.

I hurriedly went to his house with him to check, and it turned out that the water flowing from the sink faucet was obviously clean water, and I also checked the bathroom shower head, toilet bowl, and kitchen faucet, all of which were normal, where was there any blood? ”

Another security guard next to him also said: "I also encountered a similar situation once, I remember that it was also at night, he came to me and said that it was an earthquake." But I don't feel the slightest feeling here.

I inquired carefully, and he told me that the bed kept shaking while sleeping. I also went to his house at that time to see, his bed was very strong, and the mattress was so thick that no one could move it, let alone shake it! ”

Another security guard said: "Another time, also in the middle of the night, he came to the security room to look for me, saying that the TV at home will automatically turn on, and it is useless to unplug the power."

And after the TV is turned on, all channels will play the same missing person notice, and the girl on the missing person notice has passed away two years ago! He thought something dirty had found him.

I followed him to his house to check, but his TV was obviously turned off, and I also stepped forward to touch the heat dissipation place behind the TV, which was also cold, obviously not turned on. I think he's just taking dreams as reality! ”

Several security guards recounted the deceased's abnormal behavior, which really sounded like he was not in good spirits.

"This guy can't be a drug addict! Go back and have the medical examiner do the blood to see if he is taking drugs. He Jiahui opened his mouth and commanded.

At this time, the serious crime team also found out the identity information of the deceased.

Yang Tsai opened his mouth and reported: "The deceased's name is Wang Hai, he is forty-five years old this year, and he is the founder of Tho News. Tho News is an online media, and they often report some eye-catching news, so it has become more popular in recent years. ”

"Through the news? I seem to have a little impression that this media seems to be quite good at making up. Two days ago, it was rumored that Zhang Yingdi was dying of terminal cancer, and it was this media! He Jiahui said.

"That's right, this transparent news has also released a lot of false information about the case, and has been warned by our police many times." Ma Jun nodded, and then said: "This news should be quite profitable, otherwise the deceased would not be able to live in such a high-end community." ”

Yang Tsai went on to introduce; "The deceased Wang Hai was divorced once, he and his ex-wife had no children, and he is currently living alone. Other relationships are ominous for the time being, and debt issues are yet to be verified. ”

"Looking at the place where Wang Hai lives, it doesn't look like there is a debt problem. However, the news has been very popular in recent years, and it often talks nonsense and spreads rumors, which must have offended many people, and it cannot be ruled out that it is a vendetta! ”

Ma Jun said, looked at the residential building in front of him, and then asked, "That's where the deceased Wang Hai lives, right?" ”

"Yes, it's Block D on the twelfth floor of this building." Yang Tsai replied.

"Then let's go up and see if there are any clues."

The group went directly to the twelfth floor and came to Wang Hai's residence.

Standing at the door, everyone looked carefully, and there was a combination lock on the door, and there was no trace of being destroyed.

He Jiahui said: "The door lock has not been broken, it should not be a burglary." Considering that this is an upscale community with security guards, the possibility of burglary is not very large. ”

The locksmith opened the door and the group entered. Looking up, there are a lot of furnishings in the room, such as vases, animal ornaments, etc., and they are all neat and not cluttered at all.

"It seems that there are no signs of any alteration in this room, which can rule out the possibility of theft or robbery." Ma Jun said, suddenly pointing to the location of the foot of the wall, and continued, "What is that?" Is it a charm? ”

Following the direction that Ma Jun pointed, everyone saw a yellow rune paper pasted there.

"There's also on the other side." Ma Jun pointed to another corner, where there was also a piece of talisman paper.

The crowd then looked around and saw that there was also a piece of talisman paper on the inside of the gate where they had entered.

The owner of this house had just jumped to his death, which could be regarded as a murderous house, and the yellow rune paper pasted on the wall suddenly added a bit of a strange atmosphere.

"There can't really be ghosts here!" Uncle Hua looked around with some vigilance, he was still quite superstitious.

"Uncle Hua, you are well-informed, don't scare me!" Young Yang Tsai subconsciously shrunk his neck.

"What the hell is there in this world!" Ma Jun snorted coldly, and then asked, "Have you incensed Second Master Guan this morning?" ”

"Yes, I came to the office early in the morning, and the first thing I did was to pay homage to Second Master Guan." Uncle Hua said.

"Then what are you afraid of! Regarding the blessing of the second master, are you still worried about ghosts! Ma Jun said.

He Jiahui next to him smiled helplessly, Ma Jun said that there are no ghosts in the world in the previous sentence, but the latter sentence was to ask for the blessing of Second Master Guan, which is also contradictory enough.

However, mentioning Guan Erye is really effective, and the police in Xiangjiang also believe this, Uncle Hua's waist is straight, and Yang Zai does not shrink his neck, as if he has really been blessed by Guan Erye, and has become taboo-free.

"Let's go to the other rooms first." Ma Jun opened his mouth and commanded.

Everyone began to check the other rooms, and like the living room, the other rooms were neatly tied, without a trace of clutter, and there was also a rune paper.

"Ma Sir, there are talismans on the bedside and the wardrobe!"

"There is also rune paper on the shelves."

"The toilets and bathrooms are also plastered with talisman paper!"

Ma Jun frowned and muttered to himself: "Even the bathroom is pasted, aren't you afraid of getting wet when you take a bath?" How superstitious this dead man was! ”

He Jiahui walked to the TV, touched the upper edge of the TV, and found that it was very clean, completely free of dust, and then looked at the other ornaments in the room, the same.

"Everything in the room is neatly arranged, the room is spotless, even the upper edge of the TV, there is no dust, either the deceased has a habit of cleanliness, or someone will come to clean it." He Jiahui said.

Then, He Jiahui walked to the balcony again and looked down.

"The deceased should have fallen from here, and this balcony is also very clean."

Ma Jun also walked over, he looked at the clean balcony, and said: "According to the confession of witnesses, the deceased immediately reported the case after falling from the building, and the patrol police also rushed to the scene of the crime as soon as possible and sealed it off.

So if he killed, the murderer should not have time to clean up the scene, let alone clean the room so clean. Now there are no signs of a fight in the entire room, and it seems that the deceased most likely committed suicide, or fell by mistake. ”

"I'll have to let the forensic evidence confirm it." He Jiahui continued: "Let the forensic team come over, try to collect fingerprints, footprints and other traces, and then spray some luminous ammonia to see if there is any bloodstain reaction." ”

……

The forensic team came to the room and began to collect evidence, first spraying luminous ammonia on the balcony and living room, but there was no bloodstain reaction, and then went to the kitchen, bathroom and other places to collect fingerprints and hair samples for DNA comparison.

Moments later, the forensic examiner came to report the situation: "We didn't find any blood at the scene, and the room was cleaned, and we only found sporadic shoe prints. However, on the door of the refrigerator in the kitchen, the fingerprints of two people were found. ”

The kitchen is a place for cooking, and the oil smoke is relatively large, which is indeed more likely to produce fingerprints.

He Jiahui analyzed: "The kitchen is generally a place where the owner will go, and if someone comes to visit, he should not go to the kitchen."

There are two people's fingerprints in the kitchen, indicating that there should be two people living in this house, and the deceased did not live alone, it seems that the information we investigated earlier was wrong. ”

At this time, Yang Tsai returned and reported the latest progress of the investigation: "I just asked the neighbors that the deceased hired a domestic helper, who was usually responsible for washing clothes, cooking dinner, and cleaning the room. ”

"Domestic helper? No wonder there are two people's fingerprints in the kitchen, it seems that one of them should be the fingerprint of the domestic assistant. ”

Ma Jun nodded, and then ordered: "Go and find that housekeeping assistant, do a fingerprint comparison, and record a confession by the way." ”

Xiangjiang's housekeeping assistant is actually Aunt Hour. The nature of work is the same as that of Filipino maids, all of whom are grocery shopping, cooking, and housework.

Under normal circumstances, domestic helpers are charged by the hour, and the hourly salary is 70 to 80 Hong Kong dollars, and the employer has to buy an insurance for the domestic helper, which is indeed much more expensive than the Filipino maid of 6,000 yuan per month.

But many white-collar workers, especially those who live alone, prefer to hire domestic helpers rather than Filipino maids.

First of all, according to the laws of Hong Kong, to hire a Filipino maid, you must provide the other party with three meals a day and a fixed residence. Therefore, Filipino maids all eat and live in the employer's house.

People who live alone, men who live alone, live at home with a Filipino maid, life is definitely not very convenient, so they simply hire a domestic helper, leave after work, do not need to eat and live at home, and the employer has more independent space.

Secondly, Filipino maids must have one day off per week, which is also required by law. Whereas, domestic helpers are hourly workers and can also work as usual on weekends.

As for the cost, although the hourly wage of a domestic helper is much more expensive, it generally only takes three or four hours to complete housework such as laundry and cooking, so the cost of a month is about the same as hiring a Filipino maid.

Therefore, the Filipino maids are basically families with children, and the husband and wife are too busy to work, so they will hire a Filipino maid to take care of the housework. For those who live alone, they will choose domestic helpers.

……

The deceased's domestic assistant was invited to the police station, and the other party was an ordinary aunt in her fifties.

After fingerprint comparison, the fingerprints of the second person found in the deceased's kitchen indeed belonged to this aunt.

Sitting in the interrogation room, the aunt looked very nervous, constantly looking left and right.

"Ms. Guan, don't be nervous, we just ask some questions routinely, you just need to answer truthfully." Ma Jun first comforted him, and then asked, "What kind of work are you responsible for in Wang Hai's house?" ”

"Doing laundry, cleaning the room, and cooking dinner." The housekeeping aunt replied.

"Can you elaborate on your workflow?" Ma Jun then asked.

The aunt replied: "Every afternoon, I will go to the vegetable market first, buy ingredients for dinner, and occasionally buy some daily necessities, such as toilet paper and laundry detergent.

At the end of each month, he will give me the next month's food and daily necessities, and at the beginning of the month, I will also give him the account of buying groceries.

Mr. Wang has to work during the day, so he is not at home, and when I arrive at Mr. Wang's house, I usually wash the clothes first, and after putting the clothes in the washing machine, I start to clean yesterday's dishes and chopsticks, and then clean the room.

After cleaning the room and washing the clothes, I will take the clothes to dry, fold them and put them in the cupboard, and then I will make dinner, and when Mr. Wang returns, I can leave.

If Mr. Wang had to work overtime, he would call me and I wouldn't have to wait for him to come back, there was a microwave in the kitchen, and he would eat his own hot food. If Mr. Wang doesn't come home for dinner in the evening, he will call me, and I can go home early. ”

Ma Jun nodded, this is the normal workflow of a domestic assistant, there is nothing suspicious.

Then Ma Jun then asked, "Then have you noticed any abnormal behavior of Wang Hai recently?" ”

Auntie immediately nodded: "Recently, he seems to have a mental problem. He always said that there was something dirty pestering him, and he looked scared all day long, and even he lost a lot of weight.

He also went to the master to exorcise evil spirits, and the master gave him a charm, asked him to stick it at home, and gave him to drink talisman water, saying that drinking talisman water can drive away evil spirits and avoid evil. As a result, after he drank the talisman water, the situation became even more serious.

In addition, the master also asked him to put up a feng shui array, put all kinds of things in the house, and said that it was a big exorcism array, and I had to wipe a lot of things every day. ”

"No wonder there are a lot of furnishings in Wang Hai's house, it turns out to be a feng shui array." Ma Jun nodded suddenly.

He Jiahui next to him asked: "Ms. Guan, as far as you know, does Wang Hai have habits such as alcoholism, drug abuse or drug abuse?" ”

"Probably not. When Mr. Wang is in a good mood, he will buy a bottle of red wine and come back, but when I go to clean the next day, half a bottle of red wine will be left, which should not be considered a bar! ”

The aunt paused, and then said, "As for drug abuse or drug use, at least at home, he has not done it. Because I cleaned all the garbage, I didn't find any traces of drugs. ”

"Did Wang Hai go to a doctor after he had mental problems?" He Jiahui asked again.

"I found out that he had a problem with his mental state and suggested that he go to a psychiatrist to have a look, but he told me that he had already seen a psychiatrist, and the psychiatrist just said that he was under too much pressure at work and had hallucinations, and asked him to rest more, which did not solve his problem at all." Auntie replied.

He Jiahui whispered to Ma Jun: "It seems that this Wang Hai really has mental problems, if he is a mental patient, then it is not surprising that he committed suicide by jumping off the building." ”

At this moment, a text message came from Ma Jun's mobile phone.

"The preliminary autopsy showed that the cause of death of the deceased Wang Hai was indeed a fall from a height. But we found something different in his blood. Ma Jun said and handed the phone to He Jiahui.

He Jiahui took the phone and looked at it, and frowned.

"Wang Hai's blood, a amphetamine compound was detected? Similar to psilocybin and lysergic acid diethylamine? Both of these things are hallucinogens, right? Sure enough, it's not a ghost, but someone pretending to be a ghost! ”
