Lin Qiupu looked at Chen Shi in confusion: "You don't really believe in such nonsensical things, do you?"
"Some things are difficult to explain clearly. For example, I fried four small sausages and put them on the table this morning. As soon as I turned around, they changed into three. Who can make sense?" Chen Shi said half-jokingly.
"It's a waste of time! There are not many people on duty during the Spring Festival, so you have to deal with such false alarms. What if there is a real alarm? Go and confirm yourself."
Lin Dongxue smiled bitterly at Chen Shi. She knew that Chen Shi liked this kind of strange case. From the look in his eyes, he was very interested in it and eager to find out.
Lin Dongxue asked for instructions: "Team Lin, can I contact the Shiqiao Town Public Security Bureau for a copy of the case file?"
"Yes, but you are not allowed to go to the police without authorization. There is no need to go to the police in this matter."
Later, a fax of the dossier was sent over. Lin Dongxue and Chen Shi sat together to read the case. This case can be described as "heinous". The case occurred in late November. There were two victims, Chunqin and hers. Husband Li Tiezhu, the two were sleeping in their own house at the time. When the murderer came in, the big yellow dog kept in the yard did not bark at all. After testing the dog feces, it was found that it had been given sleeping pills.
Chunqin was raped and then killed. The cause of death was a thin thread that strangled her neck from behind. It was suspected to be a fishing line. Li Tiezhu was also strangled to death by the same thin thread, and there were traces of binding on her hands and feet. The police surveyed the scene. It was determined that Li Tiezhu had been tied to a pillar facing the bed, and a large amount of cotton textile fibers were detected in his mouth, which had the same composition as a rag found at the scene.
Before the police suspected that the murderer had raped Chunqin, they tied Li Tiezhu to the pole and put a rag in his mouth, forcing him to "watch" his wife's abuse throughout the entire process. Judging from the traces of Li Tiezhu's bondage, the whole process may continue. It took two hours.
It is worth mentioning that when the murderer was committing the rape, there were witnesses passing by at the scene. It was a few teenagers who had returned from the Internet cafe. They saw figures swaying on the windows from the back of the house. They were so excited that they blew the rogue whistle and stayed there for a long time. Just left.
The witnesses' confession was unexpectedly detailed. They were all unemployed youths in the town. The police seemed to suspect that the murderer was them at first.
After two hours of torture, the murderer killed the couple in turn, boiled water and poured Chunqin over her body, and brushed her skin with a wire brush, seeming to remove the evidence left by herself, so that the body was thin. Fine scratches.
But the murderer actually ignored the most important thing-the spot. The way he dealt with the spot was to poke a kettle into it and pour boiling water into it.
Of course, it is impossible to eliminate DNA. From this, it seems that the murderer does not have a high level of education.
However, three months have passed since the case, and there has been no clue.
Reading the dossier, Lin Dongxue said: "The technique is so cruel. Chunqin is just an ordinary female worker in the town. Why would a female graduate student in Long'an claim to be possessed by her undead?"
Lin Dongxue was looking at a form of the deceased's interpersonal relationship. There was no Chang Juan in it, not even a person surnamed Chang.
"Don't you know when you meet this girl?" Chen Shi said.
"Team Lin won't let it." Although Lin Dongxue was aroused, she couldn't resist.
"Fool, it's OK to go during the noon break, private visit."
"good idea!"
When it was time for the lunch break, because the cafeteria was closed, everyone went out for lunch together. Chen Shi and Lin Dongxue got in the car and hurried to the address provided by Chang Juan, which was her school dormitory.
At this time, the campus was quiet, and there was no one to look at. There was snow on the flowerbeds a few days ago. There were only a few windows in the graduate dormitory building with lights on. The two came to Chang Juan’s dormitory and knocked on the door. A voice from Chang Juan came from the door, "Police?"
"Yes, Miss Chang, we have come to see you."
"Please wait five minutes, sorry."
Lin Dongxue was puzzled. There was no outsider in the room, and she was not taking a shower. Why did she wait for five minutes? She kept looking at her watch. Five minutes later, at exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, the door opened on time.
Chang Juan is a short-headed girl with big eyes, a pair of framed glasses, a neck ring around her neck, her mouth curled up like a smile, her hair is dyed brown, and she wears a goose yellow. The colored sweater gives the feeling of a girl next door.
This is a single dormitory. The room is very neat and tidy and makes people feel very comfortable. Lin Dongxue said: "Miss Chang, why did we wait for five minutes? Did you have any urgent matter just now?"
"No." Chang Juan answered calmly.
"Then why..."
"Because the meeting time must be one o'clock in the afternoon, please come in!"
Lin Dongxue secretly exchanged glances with Chen Shi. How could this girl feel weird? Chang Juan turned around to pour tea for them, and Chen Shi saw a big bow tied behind her head.
Chang Juan sat down in front of them, put her hands on her knees motionless, staring at them with wide eyes, as if waiting for questions.
"Why report the crime like that? How did you know that Chunqin in Shiqiao Town was killed?" Lin Dongxue asked.
"You should change the question." Chang Juan replied, "Ask who am I?"
Lin Dongxue didn't believe it at all. She said: "I called you'Miss Chang' just now, and you also agreed, indicating that you are Chang Juan. I don't believe in things like resurrecting a corpse. It’s ridiculous that a computer can run software without hardware."
"A lot of things are invisible, but it doesn't mean they don't exist, such as electromagnetic waves." Chang Juan said calmly.
Chen Shi smiled, "The favorite opening remark of the god stick, electromagnetic waves and soul are not the same thing, don't change the concept secretly."
"The police are all atheists?"
"Strictly speaking, I am not an atheist, but I also don't believe in these supernatural things, because they are vague and contradictory, and the argumentation methods are full of flaws. Let alone persuade me, I can't even justify it." Chen Shi picked up the teacup. After taking a sip, I noticed that the cup was cute and the tea smelled of flowers.
Chang Juan stared at him blankly, and there were a few secret voices coming from somewhere, these voices only Chang Juan could hear—"This policeman is too annoying, scold him!", "Haha, scold the policeman, it's funny and interesting. I agree!", "It's not so good, it's illegal, and you can't do good illegal acts.", "Everyone, this uncle is not a policeman, he is just a consultant, I know him!", "Then Scold him, it will be annoying to watch him show his IQ!"
Chang Juan asked calmly: "Your last name?"
"My name is Chen Shi, and I am a criminal investigation consultant."
"Mr. Chen..." Chang Juan smiled, "Your mother is dead!"
