At my strong request, I finally found the rest of the puzzles at Wang Yiman's house near noon, but the fact is that although we have turned Wang Yiman's house upside down, in fact, there are still few puzzle pieces. took a piece.
The middle piece is missing.
"Where is the other piece?" I couldn't help asking.
Gu Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said impatiently: "Brother, all the furniture inside has been moved, if there is still a piece missing, it should really be thrown outside, there is really nothing in the house."
I pulled my hair with my hands: "Will you take the puzzle out and put it together?"
"Are you sick?" Gu Chen asked back.
"That's right, no one would take the jigsaw puzzle out to play, it's obviously sick. But there is indeed one piece missing, which means that someone took one away." I looked at Gu Chen and said.
Guan Zengbin frowned, glanced at his mouth and said, "Maybe it fell into a garbage bag and was thrown away, or maybe it was flushed into the toilet. Even Wang Yiman himself, there are many puzzle pieces that have not been found in the end. You Why stick to that, what does it have to do with solving the case?"
I sighed and said, "It's related, it's important. When you saw Gao Rui's body, did you think there was anything missing from him?"
"Missing something?" The two came together.
I nodded, and then slowly said: "Well, there is something missing on him. I knew it when I first saw the corpse, but I also thought it had nothing to do with the case, so I didn't say anything. Come out. But the puzzle that is very important to Wang Yiman is gone, there may be some connection between the two."
"Then what is missing from Gao Rui?" Guan Zengbin asked urgently.
I raised my hand and waved it: "Watch, a watch that seems to be given to him by Zhang Mingliang. Although we don't meet him many times, every time I see him, he wears that watch .and on the wrist of the dead body, I don't see the watch."
I continued: "The watch that Zhang Mingliang gave to Gao Rui, the puzzle piece left by Wang Yiman's daughter. Although these things are not valuable things, in their opinion, this should be the most precious thing they left behind .Do you remember when I said that some people just didn't find the opportunity to commit suicide."
I felt like something touched my heart.
"I was supposed to grow up as an orphan or in a single-parent family. Someone in my family committed suicide. At first I didn't understand why a person would take his own life, but then I did. So I started helping people who wanted to A person who ends his own life, if a person cannot even die, what else can he succeed in?"
Closing my eyes, I muttered to myself.
What was taken away were actually their memories. Whether it is Gao Rui or Wang Yiman, whether it is a watch or a puzzle, they are far beyond the value of these items themselves. Maybe they had thought of suicide a long time ago, but the appearance of a person made them firm in this idea.
That's the crux of the case.
But who is this person who made them firm in their belief
At noon we ordered something to eat in the restaurant. It was the time when school was over, and youthful students passed by the door of the restaurant.
Loud discussions came in, some talking about handsome men and beautiful women, who confessed to whom, and who had a crush on whom. Some talked about what TV series are good, and they talked about League of Legends Overwatch. Those top students naturally said some incomprehensible words such as acceleration activity metal reaction. Of course, there are also some literary youths who talk about love with love poems.
Many people were wearing the uniforms of Yucai High School, and some were wearing the uniforms of Dongxing No. 4 Middle School. However, most of the students took off their school uniforms and changed into their own clothes. More simply, graffiti on school uniforms, various cartoon patterns show their individuality.
Rebellious and creative are the characteristics of students of this age.
Guan Zengbin looked at these students and said, "It's good to be young. You only have to worry about academic matters every day, and you don't have to think about other things. It's not like when you grow up, there are really too many worries. It's a pity that you didn't cherish them at the beginning. , Time flies by.”
Seeing Guan Zengbin's envious look, I couldn't help shaking my head.
Is the only problem for students is their studies? I'm afraid not. Age has never been a sign that defines whether a person grows up or not, it is related to a person's experience and knowledge. The places you have been, the books you read, the things you have encountered, and the people you love are all deeply hidden in your current temperament.
No matter how well the disguise is, when a person is alone with himself, there is no way to hide that temperament.
"Hmph!" I teased on purpose, "What's your trouble if you're not even twenty years old?"
Guan Zengbin put the chopsticks on the table, and said with all his teeth and claws: "Today either you die or I die..."
"It's interesting." Gu Chen was still eating, "If you don't eat it, I'll eat it all."
As soon as I went there, I saw Xiao Liu squatting at the door looking sad. After asking, I found out that Xiao Liu had encountered a bottleneck in the investigation of Yucai Middle School. Those teachers who have a good relationship with Gao Rui don't have the time and motivation to commit crimes.
"If your good friend wants to commit suicide, your first reaction must be to stop him. I don't think there is a friend who exists exclusively for others to commit suicide, so your direction has changed. If someone will do this If so, maybe he is Gao Rui's enemy?"
I patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder, signaling him not to worry so much.
Xiao Liu stood up, and said, "Wake up the dreamer with one word..."
Looking at the back of Xiao Liu going away, I am very relieved.
Before entering the room, Mary came out. Before I could speak, Mary said, "That little Wu, someone committed suicide again."
Hearing this, the three of us all had helpless expressions, and Gu Chen asked: "Is this also the way to die? A decent and quick way to die?"
Mary shook her head, and said, "It's almost there, but it's definitely not decent."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Mary said: "At noon today, an office worker suddenly jumped off the platform while waiting for the subway. Now we are still checking the information of the deceased, and it will take a while. Dongxing Metro Line 1, you guys Go and have a look."
Gu Chen scratched his head and asked, "Is this related to the case we are investigating? Although a little disrespectful to the deceased, Gao Rui and Wang Yiman died much more decently than him, and there is not even a whole body."
"I don't know now." Mary shook her head and said, "Go to the scene first and check it out. It’s hard to say whether the suicide rate is one person every two days or not.”
I nodded.
Mary continued: "Yes, someone has already arrived."
an hour later.
When we arrived at Metro Line 1, the subway was still suspended, and the firefighters were struggling to gather up the crushed bodies within a distance of 100 meters. Those large corpses that were relatively complete had already been placed on the platform, covered with several pieces of white cloth, surrounded by crowds.
From the looks of it, there are no screen doors or guardrails next to the platform, so if someone wants to commit suicide, there is almost nothing to stop him.
Come closer, it's a very complex smell. It's kind of like the smell of burning feathers, which is the smell of protein being burned. It seems to be the smell of burning skin rubbed against the ground.
I lifted the white cloth and looked at it, feeling an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Compared with Gao Rui and Wang Yiman's death, this is really tragic.
So, is this related to the previous case
"Tell me about the situation at that time!" I showed the certificate given to me by Team Leader Shao.
A crowd who witnessed the whole incident came to me. The crowd said: "Just got off work, it is the rush hour of the subway, we are waiting for the subway as usual, and then the subway came into the station. Although the subway slowed down , but still very fast.”
The crowd continued: "At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the platform, holding a briefcase in his hand, and jumped down."
"Is it possible that it was pushed or fell by accident?" I asked.
The man scratched his head, and then said: "I don't know about this. I first heard someone screaming, and when I looked over, I saw a man flying up. Before I could react, this man hit the ground I got on the subway. At that time, I felt red in front of my eyes."
I nodded, and then said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, look at the monitoring."
During surveillance, we saw this person. Looking at it from various angles, it can be concluded that this person did commit suicide, not because he was pushed or accidental. It can be clearly seen in the surveillance that this person sped up his run-up and jumped out when the subway arrived at the station, holding a briefcase tightly in his arms.
"Why is he holding a briefcase?" I asked suspiciously.
