On April 3, Lin Dongxue was always upset on the way to work by car.
Chen Shi said last night to go out and didn't come back until eight o'clock. The cooked food was cold. After coming back, he frowned and said nothing.
When Lin Dongxue tried to comfort him, he said, "Dongxue, move tomorrow, don't live here!"
Lin Dongxue was in her throat and cried with her pillow in her face in the middle of the night. She even thought, Chen Shi probably didn't feel anything to her. Yesterday the two of them held hands at the cinema. Why did her attitude suddenly change 180 degrees? She really thought. Nowhere.
The most depressing thing about going to work is that when you encounter some personal problems, you have to smile when you come to the work unit.
Lin Dongxue smiled and greeted the oncoming colleague, sitting on the desk and looking through the several cases waiting to be processed, staring at the words on the documents, but couldn't see a word in it, and my thoughts had drifted away long ago. .
The memo she wrote the other day was posted on the table, and she was going to Captain Peng to get a DNA appraisal report, so she went to the technical squadron.
Captain Peng seemed to be performing an autopsy. Lin Dongxue flipped through the table and accidentally saw a file from a few years ago with Song Lang's name on it.
I often hear people mention Song Lang, and I don't know where this person is. Out of curiosity, she sat down and opened the dossier.
The case occurred three years ago. Several serial murders occurred indirectly in Long'an City within two months. There were two dead at each crime scene. Their relationships were lovers, divorced couples, father and son, and the murderer deliberately Leave a clear criminal signature.
In one photo, a scald on the neck of a certain deceased was taken. It was a right triangle with some strange patterns in the middle, which seemed to be burned on with something like a soldering iron.
After a series of investigations, the police roughly identified a suspect named Zhou Xiao, but they have not caught him.
At this time, there were variables within the task force. Evidence showed that Song Lang's fingerprints appeared at the crime scene of the third murder case. Coincidentally, the victim of this murder case was Song Lang who had not been able to find evidence and brought to justice. Yes, the suspects in other cases, some people suspect that Song Lang took a ride to kill, and took the opportunity to retaliate.
The task force temporarily suspended Song Lang from his job, but he independently investigated. One night, several gunshots alarmed the police. When the police arrived, they found Song Lang’s partner Qin Luoxi and his boss Li Mu lying in a pool of blood. The cause of death was suspected. For a gunshot wound.
Later, Song Lang's fingerprints, footprints, and bloody handprints were found at the scene. The police determined that Song Lang was suspected of major murder and pursued him. Song Lang was also missing.
This dossier is only an objective narrative, but Lin Dongxue's back is cold, and she is too involved, even noticing when Peng Sijue is standing behind her.
"Winter Snow!"
Lin Dongxue was taken aback and turned around to say hello: "Captain Peng."
Peng Sijue glanced at the file in her hand, "Is looking at this? It's an old case."
"I have a question. You also participated in this case. Did Song Lang really kill someone?"
Peng Sijue sat down with a tired face, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, held it in his hand, put it back, and said, "Will you shoot me and Chen Shi suddenly?"
"No! Certainly not!"
"Human behavior is consistent. Song Lang and I have known him for many years. I know his personality. The deceased Qin Luoxi was his fiancée, and Li Mu was his professor at the police academy and later his master. He could not kill."
"..."
"But others don't think so!"
"Why?"
"Song Lang is too famous. As a police legend, he solved a case in 2.5 days on average. Public security bureaus in various branches and other cities at the county level often came to him for help. There are more cases dropped. In addition to this, many people think that Song Lang is arrogant and arrogant, although these people have never seen Song Lang. When this happened, the bureau even invited a psychologist to analyze it. Believing that Song Lang has serious anti-social personality and obsessive-compulsive disorder, he hitched a ride and tried to kill others, so he began to retaliate. He was totally nonsense. He would not do such a thing. Take a 10,000 step back and say that even if Song Lang wants to kill. Based on his IQ, he will not leave so much evidence against him."
"But the evidence above is very sufficient. If someone framed and framed it, wouldn't there be a loophole?"
"There must be loopholes, there must be some, but I haven't found them yet!"
"Captain Peng, why did you suddenly look at this old case?"
"Come here, I have something to show you."
Lin Dongxue put on sterile gowns and followed Peng Sijue to the autopsy room. There was a male corpse lying on the iron bed. The autopsy was completed and it was stitched up again. There was a long suture line from the belly button to the neck. cold.
Peng Sijue broke the neck of the deceased, and Lin Dongxue saw that there was a burn mark exactly like the one on the dossier. She said in surprise: "The serial killer back then..."
"Yes, the police have not disclosed this detail to the public. It is impossible for anyone to imitate his methods. He did this case!"
"When was the body discovered?"
"last night."
"Captain Peng, what the hell is this?"
"Stigma of shame."
"Stigma of shame?"
"As early as the eighteenth century, mental patients were treated as evil spirits, detained with lepers and murderers, and treated roughly. The French psychiatrist Philip Pinel found out when he visited the mental hospital together A detained patient was covered with dense brand marks below his neck, and there was no complete skin. It turned out that every time the patient became ill, the nurse would force him to calm down with a hot red soldering iron. Pineel was greatly shocked and spent a lifetime. Modern psychiatry was established to allow patients to receive treatment and care. The iron used to abuse patients was called the stigma mark by later generations, which means shame in the history of psychiatry. It was exhibited in Pinel’s museum and later taken away. It went out for auction and fell into the hands of an unknown buyer."
"Zhou Xiao deliberately imitated this, what did he want to convey? He thinks everyone else is crazy?"
"It's not an imitation. I personally tested the rust on the wound. He used a real shame. The unknown buyer I just mentioned was one of Zhou Xiao's victims. Since then, he has taken this Treat it as your own criminal signature."
Lin Dongxue was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Looking at the cold corpse, she thought, this lunatic is back again, but this time without Song Lang to deal with him, how many people will suffer.
Peng Sijue suddenly said: "By the way, you show Chen Shi the file, I want to hear his thoughts. He has a good brain and is an outsider, maybe he has new ideas."
"Captain Peng, the file is not allowed to be taken out."
"Then you can read it again, and then dictate to him."
"Okay... Is Song Lang and you have a good relationship?"
"Ok!"
"If, I mean, if Song Lang really killed someone, what would you do?"
"Arrest him personally and resign."
