At 7 o'clock in the evening, in a luxurious elegant room in Tianhai Hotpot City, Yaoming City.
This private room is located on the rooftop of the building. It is an open-air private room. Looking outside the railing, you can see the sea level in the distance and feel the sea breeze blowing on your face, which is refreshing and pleasant.
However, because everyone was eating so lively, it was impossible to hear the sound of the waves.
Gulu…
Gulu…
Police officer Wang Can raised his head and drank the beer in his glass, and said to Zhao Yu: "Master, please stop laughing at me. Ever since you went to western Sichuan, the murder memoirs have been at a deadlock, with no progress at all!
"I'm really... shameless... I've embarrassed you again, Master..."
"I can't blame you, right?" Ran Tao said, "After all, murder memoirs are different from ordinary cases! If it were easy to solve, wouldn't it have been solved long ago when our boss came here last time?"
"Master," Wang Can said to Zhao Yu with a bitter look on his face, "according to your idea, I checked all the psychological experts I could find, even those who had been on business trips to coastal areas, but These people are completely inappropriate!
“Also,” Wang Can said again, “we have also checked all the people who have come into contact with Nong Zhifa in the prison. There are more than 1,500 people, and not a single one has been left behind!
"Among these people, no one has anything to do with psychology..."
"Boss..." Cui Lizhu pulled Zhao Yu and whispered, "Is it possible... that there is something wrong with your thinking? A psychologist hypnotized Nong Zhifa and made him confess to all the crimes. This is still a bit It’s too dramatic!
"Although it's theoretically possible, isn't it... too difficult?"
"Well..." Zhao Yu did not object, nodded slightly and said, "It seems that we have to re-analyze this case. Perhaps, there are indeed some mistakes in the previous thinking..."
"But..." Wu Xiumin couldn't help but remind, "Have you forgotten why we had that suspicion? Nong Zhifa's character does not match, and part of his trajectory does not match. Even the confession of the mental patient Liu Cheng does not match. It was pointed out that it was not Nong Zhifa himself!
"I think that even if Nong Zhifa is the murderer of the murder memoir, then... there must be other suspects in this case!"
"Sister Wu is right," Zhao Yu said after taking a sip of wine, "Actually, on the way back to Yaoming, I kept thinking... could there be any similarities between Memoirs of a Murderer and the Ghost King Case
"Could it be that... multiple people committed the crime
"Or..." Zhao Yu smacked his lips and said, "It was the encounter between two serial killers, and some kind of sparks came out of the collision, which made Nong Zhifa mistakenly believe that the crimes committed by the other killer were all his own fault.
"Is it because he is delirious or schizophrenic? Isn't he actually mentally misled or hypnotized by someone?"
"Hmm... That makes sense. I also think that besides Nong Zhifa, there should be someone like that!"
"That would be even more strange," Ran Tao scratched his head out of habit, "Who could the other person you are talking about be? He must be the real murderer in Memoirs of Murder?"
"Master," Wang Can said at this time, although his face was red, but he was not drunk, "to tell you the truth, I have been holding my breath these days!
"I haven't been idle for a moment, well... According to the murder memoirs, Nong Zhifa killed a woman in the Dawafang area of Xulong County in May 2000, and buried her body on a certain telephone pole. nearby.
"Did you know? In the past few days, I hired migrant workers to build base stations and dug up all the telegraph poles there. I only dug up a dog's body and nothing else..."
"Don't bother..." Cui Lizhu frowned and said, "You are not thinking now. It has been 19 years since 2000. You have to dig out the telephone poles that have not been touched in 19 years!"
"I... don't seem that stupid, right?" Wang Can grunted, drank another glass of beer, and then said angrily, "I feel like I've been tricked!"
"No... have you put in the equipment to search for corpses?" Zeng Ke asked, "Although it's not that precise, it can at least help, right?"
"It doesn't work. The machine makes noise wherever it goes," Wang Can said. "It's only suitable for finding corpses in the wilderness, but it's not easy to do it in places with underground cables..."
"Oh..." Everyone shook their heads and sighed.
"We have also investigated all the missing persons in May 2000, and even before and after that time," Wang Can added. "Either the identity is wrong, the age is wrong, the time is wrong, or the way of death is wrong. In short, no one can Matching…
"I even suspect that there is no such case at all. It was all made up by Nong Zhifa!"
"Really?" Cui Lizhu pouted, "If it was made up, why did the previous cases all match up exactly?"
"There are 13 cases in total, but only 5 were matched," Wang Can shook his head, "We can't be 100% sure that the remaining 8 must have happened, right
"What if... what if Nong Zhifa was unconscious and made it up casually? In fact, he only did those five cases?"
"But," Wu Xiumin reminded, "What does Liu Cheng's confession say?"
"Liu Cheng is a lunatic, a mental patient..." Wang Can complained distressedly, "We have shown him more than 100 possible suspects. If the real murderer is among them, he should be able to identify them, right
"Also, recently, he has started to lose his temper again. No matter how he coaxes him, he just won't cooperate with the identification work. Even the psychologists can't do anything..."
"Well..." At this time, Zhao Yu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. He looked at Wang Can with a complicated expression and asked something unexpected, "Say it again, in May 2000, after Nong Zhifa killed someone, Where did you bury the person?”
"What?" Wang Can was stunned and quickly replied, "Electricity... telegraph pole? What's wrong?"
"Hmm..." Zhao Yu frowned, as if he had thought of something important.
"No way?" Cui Lizhu knew Zhao Yu's ability well and asked quickly, "Boss, what's wrong?"
"Telephone poles..." Zhao Yu muttered and said, "Who would be so naive as to bury the body under a telephone pole after killing someone?"
"Huh?" Cui Lizhu responded slowly, "You mean... the telephone pole is not a good place to bury a body?"
"Nonsense!" Zhao Yu said, "You have never done the work of burying telephone poles. When the telephone poles are buried, the ground there will be very hard. Only fools would dig that kind of hard ground. Burying the body!
"The key is, unless his family is operating a road roller, how can they flatten the people after burying them? Even if they can be flattened, they will collapse when it rains. There is a problem at first glance!
"Besides, there are cables or pipelines laid under the telephone poles. The chances of them being pried open for maintenance are very high. The murderer... would bury people in that kind of place?"
"Yes!" Wang Can clapped his hands and said, "I have thought of this a long time ago. If the body was really buried in a place like this, it would have been discovered long ago!
"But I checked all the records, but I couldn't find any news of a body being dug up from near the telephone pole...
"I always feel that we may have been played by this bastard Nong Zhifa..."
"No!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu suddenly raised his arm and said to everyone, "We may not have been played by Nong Zhifa, but by the person who controlled Nong Zhifa - we may have been played by!
"I seem to..." As he spoke, Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes hard and gritted his teeth and said, "I already understand the mystery behind this!"
