It was night and it was raining.
"Group Leader Shao, are you sure you're looking for that kid?" Along with the sound of the rainstorm slapping the fence, I heard a thin voice coming from the end of the corridor: "Are you sure you're looking for him? He's out of his mind. , or she wouldn't have been sent to a mental hospital!"
The sound of leather shoes made a "da da" sound in the corridor, and a woman's voice came out: "Wu Meng, Ye Luzi was born, and he helped solve many major cases, but..."
"It was only in one case." The team leader Shao said: "He arrested himself, and he thought he was the murderer. But in fact, the real murderer is still at large."
The nurse added: "He's delusional."
"Team leader, do you think the real murderer in that case is..." the woman said.
"I can't tell." Team Leader Shao said, "Let's go and see this so-called outstanding non-staff personnel."
Then, these three people appeared in front of me. I looked at the two men and one woman through the railing, and sized them up carefully. The one with the sharp voice was a male nurse from a mental hospital, and I had a lot of dealings with him. I haven't met the other two people, one is a man in his forties, and the other is a woman who is close to thirty.
"What case?" I said straight to the point.
Team leader Shao raised his eyebrows and glanced at me, as if he was very satisfied with me: "Mary, go through the formalities."
"It was decided so soon?" The nurse still couldn't believe it.
Team leader Shao glanced at the nurse, nodded and said, "The person I'm looking for is him."
midnight.
The summer rainstorm came and went quickly, but the rain still didn't seem to stop in the slightest. Team leader Shao drove and took Mary and me to the scene. The murderer seemed to have chosen today on purpose. The heavy rain washed away almost all the evidence at the scene, except for one corpse.
There is a train track in the western suburbs. In order to prevent children from playing beside the train track, barbed wire fences are erected on both sides. On the top of the barbed wire fence, a female corpse is hanging on it. Embedded in the narrow gaps in the barbed wire, so that the corpse will not fall from the barbed wire.
The whole corpse swayed from side to side in the violent wind and rain, and the shoes slapped on the barbed wire from time to time, making a "peddling" sound like a person walking, which looked extremely strange in the dim yellow street lights on both sides.
The first to discover the body were two workers repairing the circuit. The sudden torrential rain interrupted the nearby power lines. They were afraid that the power lines would hang on the railway and cause car crashes, so the higher-ups sent the two of them to rush to repair them in the rain. When they came here, it was pitch black.
It was pitch black, and sometimes thunder resounded through the earth. Their flashlights had a pitifully small range in the rainy night. The two of them could only move their bodies bit by bit along the barbed wire, checking the wiring above their heads inch by inch. Fortunately, the power supply has been cut off, so they don't have to worry about the danger of electric shock on rainy nights.
Finally, they found a wire that had snapped from it. The wire was hung from a barbed wire fence, and the end was close to the railway track, but luckily it didn't get tangled up on the track. The two pulled the wires out of the barbed wire with all their strength, and at the same time prepared to notify the leader.
But at this moment, a worker asked: "Brother Liu, did you hear the rattling sound, as if someone was walking this way."
Brother Liu hurriedly used the flashlight to shine left and right, but there was no one. Brother Liu scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, there is no one in this wilderness..."
But before the words fell, Brother Liu also really heard the sound of "da da da" in the rainstorm. This is definitely not a sound that can be made by rain, but the surrounding is muddy land. Who can make a "da da" sound on this kind of ground? The sound of walking, could it be that someone is on the train track
Brother Liu just wanted to use a flashlight to shine on the left and right sides of the train track, but a sudden flash of lightning interrupted his plan. Because he saw that there was a dead body floating in the wind on the barbed wire not far from here! The two of them were so frightened that they ran out for a full kilometer before they called the police when they were still in shock.
Looking at the two people who were still flustered, I reached out to wipe the rain off my face. Even though I was wearing a raincoat, I still couldn't stop the pouring rain. I squatted on the ground and looked at the condition of the corpse. There was no blood, no residue.
What's more, there are no footprints. There were no footprints around the corpse on this kind of muddy ground where every step was one pit.
The footprints closest to the corpse were those of the two workers, but they were four or five meters away. So, how did the murderer hang the body on the top of the barbed wire, and how did he leave the scene without leaving a trace, and is this the scene of the first crime
"Have you seen the scene?" Team Leader Shao asked, "I'm going to have someone take down the corpse."
I nodded.
"Take the corpse back for an autopsy..." Team Leader Shao looked at the corpse, and then added: "Although the murderer seems to have already dissected it first."
I frowned, and asked out the doubts in my heart: "I remember Team Leader Shao, you have a fiancee who is very powerful. You have a tool box specially made for her, and you can dissect corpses on the spot. Why didn't she come? "
Team leader Shao sighed, as if remembering something, finally sighed and said: "This world is still the world of your young people. At that time, this box may be assigned to your team. Let's not talk about it , how do you know who I am?"
"Leader Shao, add a Mary." I looked at the woman with a backpack next to me, and said, "I don't know such a well-known group, but why do you ask me for help? I'm a paranoid person." .”
Mary on the side added: "Self-guilt delusions, also known as delusions of guilt. Patients have no reason to think that they have committed a huge crime or mistake, deserve to be punished. But you are different. You are not completely innocent. Delusion without reason, you can find the murderer with your imagination, and infer the murderer's methods, as if you really did these cases."
I touched my head, a little confused: "So I didn't kill those people?"
Team leader Shao stopped Mary: "Don't tease him, be careful that he is ill again. In short, tell me your opinion."
I have also been in a mental hospital for several months, and the boring life every day makes me feel like I am dead. I closed my eyes, amidst the thunder and lightning, thinking about who the murderer was.
What I hate most is women, because I have been abandoned by women. This woman was pregnant with my child, but she didn't give birth to me, she left me, she said I was a piece of shit. From now on, I hate all women. I am indeed a waste, and I just pick up trash for a living every day.
"The murderer is a homeless man about forty years old. His hair is very long and dirty. He has little time and money for a haircut. He likes black, and his fingernails are very long." Opening his eyes, I said to everyone.
"How do you know all this?" Mary looked at me in disbelief.
"Imagine." I laughed, and then said: "I have observed the corpse, the wounds are uneven, obviously not caused by sharp knives."
Team leader Shao patted me on the shoulder, and then said to the others: "Find this homeless man within the city. If he killed him, he has no ability to escape from this city!"
Team leader Shao shook his head: "The rain has washed away too many traces, no, it should be said that there are almost no traces at all, otherwise, we would not have come to you. I think you have been in the mental hospital for a while , if you help us solve this case, I'll get you out, how about it?"
"Promise to complete the task!" I hurriedly saluted.
The mental hospital is simply not the place for me to stay. Although my self-guilt paranoia is not aggressive, and I can go to the yard to breathe every day, but the people around me are either mentally ill or irritable nurses. There are those who look at a stone all day long, and those who eat dirt all day... Of course, there are also those who are mentally twisted and locked in it, but I haven't had close contact with it yet.
"But having said that." I sighed and said to Team Leader Shao: "There is still no way to determine where the first scene is, and I don't know how the murderer left."
"As long as you catch the homeless, everything will be fine," Team Leader Shao said.
While speaking, the light of a train moved from far to near, making a rumbling sound as it quickly tried to drive through the two barbed wire fences. Team leader Shao looked at the passing train, thoughtful. Trains, barbed wire, broken wires, missing footprints, homeless people, this case is interesting.
"The autopsy report is out!" At this moment, someone shouted.
"Bring it!" Team Leader Shao shouted.
A mobile phone appeared in Team Leader Shao's mobile phone. He frowned and looked at it carefully. After a long time, he said, "This is the first scene. This woman died only about two hours ago. We need to use it when we arrive here." It took at least 30 minutes for the workers to find the body and call the police in one hour, that is to say... "
"When they found the body!" I went on, "the murderer was there!"
