Officer Yang, Li Hua and I quickly arrived at the home of the deceased Song Biao. This rich man naturally lived in a two-story courtyard-style building in a residential area in the city center. When we arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a large number of police officers had already begun to cordon off the scene, and I also vaguely saw the figures of Ding Yang and that annoying Yuan Hao.
"Chief, we have checked the surveillance equipment around us. The lines were deliberately cut off two hours before the crime, so we were unable to see the image of the suspect." When the police officer guarding the door saw Officer Yang, he immediately stepped forward to report the situation. However, he seemed a little frightened. This man probably thought that the murder was probably caused by Ajarn Ban's black magic.
This small detail made me a little confused. Logically speaking, Ding Yang would be able to find out the way the deceased died. But when Ding Yang came, the police officer was still so frightened. Could it be that the way the deceased died was also strange
Li Hua also discovered this. He pushed open the door and ran straight into the courtyard. Officer Yang and I followed closely behind him. We soon saw Ding Yang and Yuan Hao squatting at the door of the two-story building in front, talking about something in front of a corpse covered with a white cloth.
"what happened?"
Li Hua was the first to arrive beside Ding Yang and asked directly. Ding Yang just rolled his eyes at Li Hua and turned to me and Officer Yang and said, "Everyone, come and see, the death of this deceased is a bit strange!"
I knew that what I was going to see must be a horrible corpse, so I took a deep breath and prepared myself mentally. Then I went to the corpse covered with white cloth with Officer Yang and Li Hua. Ding Yang also gently lifted the white cloth, and the corpse inside was immediately exposed to my eyes.
Lying on the ground was a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hair, powdered face, and a well-dressed suit. He was very particular about his appearance. His lying posture showed a look of struggling and going crazy, as if he had suffered some unbearable pain before dying.
What shocked me the most was the pool of blood under the body of the deceased. The amount of blood was so large that it covered the entire body of the deceased, Song Biao. I also found that all the blood flowed from the mouth of the deceased.
Speaking of the deceased Song Biao's mouth, it is also the place that gave me the strongest visual impact! His facial expression was very ferocious, and his mouth was very long, as if he was desperately begging for help before he died. At this time, his mouth was bloody and it was impossible to see anything clearly, and the sides of his mouth seemed to be cut open by something. When I saw it, the first thing I thought of was the cover of the horror movie "The Slit-Mouthed Woman" that I had seen before. It was exactly the same!
Such a strange death was hard for me to accept even though I had prepared myself mentally. I immediately looked away and asked Ding Yang, "Didn't they say that there were a lot of blades in the deceased's mouth? Why didn't I see any?"
Ding Yang asked someone to bring a sealed plastic bag, pointed inside and said, "I have taken photos of the scene to collect evidence, and I have checked everything that needs to be checked. I will collect all these blades and prepare to do fingerprint identification."
I turned around and saw that the plastic bag in Ding Yang's hand was full of blood-stained blades. I initially estimated that there were about a dozen blades, all of which were special blades for manual razors, and they were exactly the same as the blade that Ajarn Ban put into the skull's mouth before.
Li Hua then asked: "What was the cause of death? It seems that there are no other external injuries on the deceased's body except for the mouth."
Ding Yang sighed and said, "I can't completely determine the cause of death yet. I have to bring the body back so that I can do a full autopsy. But my preliminary conclusion is that the deceased died of massive internal bleeding, and the trachea may have been cut by the blade."
Ding Yang paused for a moment, then continued, "I just said that the death of this deceased was a bit strange because I found that the wounds in the deceased's mouth and throat were all cut by a razor blade. What's even more strange is that all the wounds were caused from the inside out, that is, the razor blade cut from the deceased's abdomen all the way to the mouth! Although we can only see the throat now and cannot see the situation inside the abdomen clearly, I think this inference should be almost correct."
Although Ding Yang's words were not very detailed, I immediately understood what he meant. He wanted to tell us that the blades appeared directly in the abdomen of the deceased, and then some force caused the blades to move from the abdomen to the mouth, cutting and destroying the internal organs along the way, which was the real cause of the deceased's death.
If this is true, then both the way of death and the murder weapon, the blade, are exactly the same as what I understand as the Thai black magic!
How could this happen? According to my understanding, the murderer was just pretending to be Ajahn Ban, a sorcerer, to kill people. But now it seems that there are so many doubts and mysteries in the way the deceased died, which is exactly the same as the nature of the knife magic. Could it be that Ajahn Ban is really a person with great magical powers
Officer Yang was getting a little scared again. He turned around and whispered to me, "Why don't we release that Achan Ban first? It won't be too late to arrest him after we figure out what's going on. Is this Thai black magic really that powerful?"
"Hmph, what kind of black magic is that? It's all superstition! Wait until I figure out the murderer's method of killing, and then I will make that Ajarn Ban convinced!" Li Hua was still so arrogant. After saying this, without waiting for us to say anything, he turned around and walked into the two-story building in front of him. It seemed that he was going to ask the parties involved and the person who reported the case for detailed circumstances at the time.
Although I thought so, I naturally couldn't believe that the murder was really committed by some kind of black magic. Now that I had already seen the corpse, the rest of the matter would be left to the master Ding Yang. I believed that he would not let me down, so I walked out of the yard alone, stood outside the door, lit a cigarette, carefully recalled what had happened during this period, and tried to connect all the clues to see if I could find the answer.
In my opinion, there are two situations for my reference. The first is that Ajarn Ban and the middle-aged man who asked to kill Song Biao were all actors hired by Qiongqi. They jointly staged a farce that looked like murder by black magic. On the one hand, they could raise the status of Ajarn Ban, the black magic master, and on the other hand, they could get Song Biao's money. As for the matter of Song Biao's property, Li Hua is not a fool. He has already started investigating it, so I didn't ask more questions.
But if this is the case, although everything makes sense, it makes Qiongqi's position in my heart plummet. Could this crude criminal method really be designed by the Qiongqi I know? You know, although he can make it foolproof by hiring actors, it is also very risky. If we can get any information from these two actors, then Qiongqi will face a complete failure.
There is also a second situation, which is also the situation I am most reluctant to face. That is, Ajarn Ban and the middle-aged man who wanted to kill Song Biao were not actors hired by Qiongqi. Everything that happened now was just an ingenious scheme set up by Qiongqi. With some inconspicuous and subtle operations, he completed the plan of killing people by black magic. Although this kind of magical method is the style of Qiongqi, if this is true, this case will probably become quite complicated, so complicated that I have no confidence in solving the case.
If the second case is the case, there are some loopholes in the timeline and the timing of the characters' appearances. If you want to solve the case, you have to start from here.
I was thinking and smoking at the same time. I don't know how much time had passed when I suddenly heard Officer Yang's voice beside me. I turned around and found that Officer Yang and Li Hua were standing next to me.
"What are you thinking about? So obsessed?"
Officer Yang handed me a cigarette, and I took it and lit it up, saying, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about this case. Have you asked the person who reported the case clearly?"
Officer Yang didn't say anything, but Li Hua said, "After asking, it was found out that the person who reported the case was the wife of the deceased. At the time, his wife was watching TV in the living room, which is the closest place to the door. Suddenly, the wife heard something hit the door heavily, so she went out to take a look. Who knew that she saw Song Biao lying on the ground with blood all over his mouth and twitching. Song Biao's wife called the police and the ambulance on the spot, but unfortunately Song Biao was too seriously injured and died before the police arrived."
"So what's the exact time?"
Li Hua replied: "Of course I will ask about this. The specific time she mentioned should be within five minutes after Ajahn Ban performed the ritual. Such a close time proves that this was a premeditated murder. We will go to the police station and interrogate Ajahn Ban. We will definitely be able to get some clues!"
It seems that Li Hua has not thought of the level I thought of before, so I continued to ask: "Where is Song Biao's property? Has it been touched by anyone?"
Li Hua shook his head and said, "Probably not. Song Biao's property is all in the custody of his wife, so there shouldn't be any problem with the property for the time being. I have asked his wife to go to the bank to check carefully to make sure there is nothing wrong."
Li Hua is really very careful in his work. He has already asked me everything I want to know. I turned around and looked at Yuan Hao who was still studying beside Ding Yang, and asked quietly, "Do you think Yuan Hao did anything at the scene this time? Or destroyed the evidence?"
Li Hua also looked back, then shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. I asked Ding Yang, he and Yuan Hao came here at the same time, and I also reminded Ding Yang to pay more attention to Yuan Hao. If Yuan Hao made any small moves, Ding Yang would definitely find it first."
With Ding Yang watching over Yuan Hao, I felt a lot more relieved. Officer Yang then suggested that we take the body back first and then interrogate Ajarn Ban as soon as possible. But at this moment, when Ding Yang was asking people to carry the body, he found a mark written in blood on the abdomen of the body, Y!
