Heyang Province, Chengzhou Police Station conference room.
"We have sealed off the scene as soon as possible and carefully searched all suspicious books and texts..." Mou Yongen, captain of Chengzhou Police Station, stood in front of the big screen in the conference room and introduced to Zhao Yu and others, "But, and No other parts of the diary were found..."
"That is to say..." Zhao Yu asked, "About the murder diary, there are only so many pages?"
"There are 15 pages in total," Captain Mou said rigorously, "Only 5 of them have text on them, but some of the text is seriously damaged, and our technicians are carefully repairing it..."
"Then..." Zhao Yu said, "Let's talk about the four dead! I heard that there was more than just one blocked garbage channel in that building!"
“Yes,” Captain Mou said, “Because it was originally designed for teaching purposes, there are three stairs in the Zhizhen Building, with the main staircase in the middle and an auxiliary staircase at the east and west ends.
“The main staircase is open and there are no garbage channels, only the east and west sides...
“According to the school director, the garbage chute was sealed around 1995.
“At that time, because Zhizhen Building was converted into a dormitory, students had a lot of domestic garbage, and the garbage channel was slightly narrow. There were blockages at both ends every three days, and the smell was overwhelming, so the school finally decided to seal it with bricks and cement. The garbage chute has been removed, and students are now required to dispose of garbage by themselves every day… ”
"The body..." Miao Ying looked at the materials and asked, "Which side of the garbage chute was it found from?"
"West side!" Captain Mou replied, "The four corpses were all found in the garbage chute on the west side. Just in case, we have also opened the garbage chute on the east side, but no bodies were found there!"
"Interesting..." Zhao Yu put his materials on the table and said, "A student found a piece of paper with writing on it while moving things. After reading it, he used a hammer to break open the dust on the west side. It had been in the garbage lane for more than 20 years, and then the body was found...
"Isn't this a bit too coincidental
"With so many books lying around, why don't you read a piece of paper?"
"Yeah..." Cui Lizhu couldn't help but interjected, "Why... does that student know that what is written on the paper must be true? Also, there are clearly two garbage channels, East and West, why can he directly choose You? A garbage chute for corpses
"This child... have you checked?"
"The student's name is He Ningning, and he is a senior student in the Literature Department of Heyang Normal University," Captain Mou replied, "We have already asked He Ningning the question you just asked, and he said...
"Hmm..." Captain Mou hesitated, and then said, "He said that he seemed to have some kind of telepathy. After reading the text, he knew almost instinctively that the garbage lane written in the diary was the Zhizhen Tower. of!
"Of course, he also explained to us why he chose the garbage channel to the west, because," Captain Mou said, "there is a small playground to the east of Zhizhen Building, and there are windows on the stairs, which is very bright!
"The west side of Zhizhen Tower is next to another building. There are no windows in the corridor. Even during the day, electric lights are needed for lighting... because the diary says that the murderer wanted to prevent people from paying attention to the abnormality of the garbage port. , so the bulb is damaged in advance.
"So, He Ningning is very sure that what is written in the diary is the staircase on the west side...
"Of course, the diary contained a detailed description of the blocked garbage crossing, which impressed He Ningning so much that she had the urge to smash it open!"
"Tsk tsk..." Cui Lizhu smacked her lips and muttered quietly behind Zhao Yu, "I still think there is something wrong with this student. The building has been closed for a long time. He just went in and moved some things. How could it be possible? learn?"
"How are the identities of the four deceased being investigated now?" Zhao Yu ignored Cui Lizhu and asked Captain Mou.
"It's still being processed," Captain Mou said. "Our technicians are extracting DNA. Currently we only know that the four victims are all women, and they are young women..."
"How complete is the body?" Zhang Peipei pointed to the report materials and said, "There are no details on it..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I wrote the information in such a hurry," Captain Mou said quickly, "Just as it was written in the murder diary, the murderer wrapped the body in three layers of plastic bags, and as expected, the body was covered with tape.
"However, because of this, the bones are relatively well preserved, and forensic doctors can clearly distinguish the four corpses..."
"But," Zhao Yu quickly discovered the problem, "the murder diary only described one case, but four bones appeared in the garbage chute? Does this mean... "
"Yes..." Captain Mou nodded and said, "In the missing diary, the murderer may have recorded three other murder cases. We are still searching for them one by one..."
"So..." Miao Ying asked, "What about the cause of death? Can it still be found?"
"There are no obvious external injuries," Captain Mou said. "At present, the forensic doctor suspects that the deceased were all suffocated to death. They may have been strangled or strangled to death by the murderer!"
"Is there no description of the manner of death in the diary?" Miao Ying asked again.
"It just so happened that the last section was damaged," Captain Mou said regretfully, "Our technicians are doing their best to repair it..."
"Have you checked the school?" Zhao Yu then asked, "Have there been any similar disappearance cases in the school? Were any female students missing during that time period?"
"Yes..." Cui Lizhu agreed, "The bones are all young women, maybe they are female students of our school, right?"
"In that case," Zeng Ke said, "it would be big news. It shouldn't be difficult to check, right?"
Having said this, everyone looked at Captain Mou. Captain Mou frowned tightly and said to everyone: "Currently, the school is still actively searching!
"However, according to some old teachers at the school, there seems to have been no missing students at Heyang Normal University since the founding of the People's Republic of China!"
"You mean after the founding of the People's Republic of China!" Cui Lizhu pouted, "Just say the 1990s! Those four girls who were murdered must have happened after the garbage chute was closed!"
"Sorry, we are still confirming," Captain Mou explained, "After all, it is too old!"
"There's another thing that I don't quite understand..." At this time, Miao Ying added, "According to the murder diary, the murderer committed the crime during the summer vacation, and he was the only one in the dormitory, so he There is a chance to kidnap a girl, kill her and dump her body!
"Doesn't the school have anything to say about this matter?" Miao Ying asked, "Which students have lived in Zhizhen Building? They should have clear records, right
"Also, if there are students in the dormitory who don't go home during the holidays, wouldn't the school management have any impression
"Check the records. Is it... that this person can be found easily?"
"Yeah..." Cui Lizhu agreed, "The diary mentions the University Games. Can we determine which year it is
"Also, since he is afraid that the students in the physical education department will return to school early, then he must not be a student in the physical education department?"
