This is a very inconspicuous residential building in the city. It has a patio with a very sense of age. The light in the corridor is dim, the lights are on and off, and the cobwebs are covered with dust in the corner. Most of the ash on the walls has fallen off. There are layers upon layers of small advertisements for applying for a permit, treating male diseases, and renting a house. If someone opens the door, the rusted shaft will make a loud noise.
Chi Yan, a former artist, lived in such a place after he terminated his contract with Fangchi Entertainment last year.
The one-bedroom, one-bedroom house is neat and tidy. There is no bed in the room that was supposed to be the bedroom. There are wardrobes on three walls, and there is a full-length mirror on the wall next to the door. There are all kinds of clothes hanging in the closet, most of them exaggerated stage clothes, they are all covered by dust bags, and it can be seen that Chi Yan cherishes them - the years they represent - very much.
The bed is in the living room and is a sofa bed. There is a medicine box on the coffee table, which contains medicine for kidney disease and sleeping pills.
In the drawer under the coffee table, there are stacks of photos, all of which are participants in the killing of Hu Ying and the real werewolf.
Many murderers like to stick pictures of their targets on the wall. This is not a plot in the novel. Real-life murderers are also keen to do this, because seeing the photos of the target every day when they wake up will prompt the strongest emotions in their hearts. urges, they need to use this to "motivate" themselves.
But Chi Yan sorted them into categories, and none of them were in sight.
But at this point, they are already a key link in the chain of evidence.
The most important crime tool, an ice hammer, was found in the drawer of the kitchen stove, along with a sharp outdoor work knife.
There is no bloodstain visible to the naked eye on the ice crusher and the knife. Bloodstain detection and scar comparison prove that they are murder weapons, and it is the work of the trace inspectors.
There is a set of fleece sportswear hanging on the balcony. It can be recognized from the details that the "Wolfman" photographed by the camera of Green Phoenix Mountain is wearing this suit.
Dongye City is wet and cold in winter, and thick clothes cannot be dried for many days.
They just "swagger", waiting for the arrival of the criminal police.
The werewolf headgear made by the "Storm" secret room club was thrown into the closet on the balcony. Thick blood stained the hair together, and the entire closet stinks.
When he heard his name, Chi Yan subconsciously wanted to run, the shopping bag in his hand fell, and the fresh ingredients he just bought rolled all over the floor.
But under the siege of serious criminal police, how could he escape
Yi Fei grabbed him and cut his hands behind him. Mingshu stepped up and looked down at his eyes.
Man Lin said that Chi Yan and Hu Ying have a similar style and their own temperament. At this time, at such a close distance, Mingshu did perceive the "likeness" of the two of them—there was a certain despair that could not be redeemed in their eyes.
Ming Shu frowned, his eyes deepening in the dim light.
There are traces of Chi Yan's despair, but why does the beautiful lake shadow also have such despair
After a moment, Mingshu said, "Take it back first."
Xiao Man had already rushed back from Maoyang Village, and he couldn't take a rest, so he tried his best to do physical evidence identification.
Hu Ying stayed in the serious crime team the whole time. The moment he saw Chi Yan appeared in handcuffs, he froze in place, and it took a long time to say a word: "You guys, are you mistaken?"
What responded to him was a resentful and sarcastic smile from Chi Yan.
Hu Ying rushed over and was stopped by Fang Yuanhang, "He is a suspect now."
"Impossible!" Hu Ying shouted to Chi Yan excitedly: "Where have you been this year? Why didn't you contact me? I, I called you and found you... "
"Have you been looking for me?" Chi Yan seemed to have heard a joke, and the corners of his lips curved coldly, "Why are you looking for me?"
"I… "
"Show me that you're finally red?"
Hu Ying was dumbfounded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Bullshit?" Chi Yan sneered, "Then treat me as bullshit. But Hu Ying, listen carefully, I don't believe you have really looked for me, worried about me, what you call 'looking' is just to leave Just going through the motions.”
Hu Ying's eyes widened in shock, "No, I really..."
Chi Yan interrupted, "I've been staying in Dongye City this year. If you really looked for me, you wouldn't be able to find it. If you really wanted to find out what happened to me, you wouldn't be able to find out. You …”
With that said, Chi Yan sighed, "You and I are no longer the same. Hu Ying, you gave up on me. So you have no right to blame me for doing such a thing to you."
Hu Ying struggled under Fang Yuanhang's restraint, "It's not what you think! What did you do?"
"Okay, let's go in." Mingshu pushed open the door of the interrogation room, "This is not a place for you to discuss private matters."
Knowing that he had nowhere to run, Chi Yan nodded cooperatively, but before stepping into the interrogation room, he looked back at Hu Ying, with unresolved anger and hatred in his eyes, "Hu Ying, I killed someone, But I didn't feel sorry for you, you deserve it."
"boom-"
The door to the interrogation room was closed, shutting out all the noise.
Chi Yan sighed lightly, "What do you want to ask me? I'll explain it all."
"We have the evidence of your crime, but the routine interrogation cannot be exempted from this." Mingshu said: "Huang Yan, Li Zhaofeng, and Zhu Linglong were killed by you?"
Chi Yan lowered his eyes, looked at the photos of the three victims, and nodded after a few seconds, "Yes, it's me."
"Apart from them, do you want to kill the other participants in the real werewolf killing three years ago?" Mingshu said, "If we don't find you."
Chi Yan nodded, but soon shook his head again, "I won't kill Hu Ying."
Mingshu said, "Because you want to create the illusion that Huying committed a crime?"
Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, then shrugged: "Unfortunately I failed."
After saying this, he suddenly trembled, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if something he had been suppressing was about to burst out of his soul.
"Hu Ying and I, before last year, were obviously the same. We signed contracts at the same time, lived in the same apartment, and almost made our debut as a group." The light in Chi Yan's eyes became blurred, as if crossing Mingshu, looking at In the days many years ago, "others said we were similar, Hu Ying was half a year younger than me, and I took care of him as a younger brother. His family was in difficulty, and his sister was hospitalized several times, and I lent him money to help him survive. Difficulties. One year during the Spring Festival, he told me that I was his best friend, and in the future, no matter who of us got out first, we must not forget the other party and give each other a hand.”
Chi Yan's eyes showed bitterness, "Do you know how difficult it is to survive in this circle?"
Yi Fei said: "I don't know how difficult it is to survive in your circle, I just want to know, you just designed this series of conspiracies and killed three innocent people just because you were jealous of Huying and hated Huying?"
The word "jealousy" was like a sharp needle, piercing Chi Yan's nerves.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and bloodshots burst on the whites of his eyes—in this way, there was no trace of idol temperament.
"Jealous?" Chi Yan's voice trembled, "You say I'm jealous of Huying?"
Yi Fei said: "Isn't it?"
"He's just luckier than me! He stole what should have belonged to me!" Chi Yan was hysterical, slapped the table with both hands, and the handcuffs collided with the edge of the table, making an unpleasant sound.
"The director of "Red Dust and Rivers and Lakes" first saw me, not him at all!" Chi Yan gritted his teeth, "My temperament and appearance are the most suitable for that role!"
Fang Yuanhang watched the surveillance outside, "Is there such a thing?"
Chi Yan madly recounted the "unknown" things that happened to him, which were roughly the same as what the police learned from Fangchi Entertainment, but the resources stolen by Huying were only his own account.
"Isn't Chi Yan, like Niu Tianlan, suffering from paranoia?" Fang Yuanhang said to himself.
Niu Tianlan's case is not completely closed yet. Niu Tianlan is undergoing complicated psychological counseling. The preliminary conclusion given by experts is that Niu Tianlan does have a tendency to delusion, and further visits around Niu Lanlan and Zhao Wen prove that Niu Lanlan is not the third party that Niu Tianlan said, Zhao Wen also Never had a relationship with Niu Tianlan.
The story of "being robbed of love by my sister Hengdao" was a lie made up by Niu Tianlan himself. Niu Lanlan and Zhao Wen are the real lovers, and they were tempted by others to commit suicide by meeting in the guest house.
Niu Tianlan slandered and slandered his sister because the dead couldn't speak. Now, he himself believes this lie.
Fang Yuanhang shook his head and continued to watch the monitoring.
Chi Yan slowly pulled up his clothes, revealing the old scars on his chest and abdomen.
They are not ferocious, like patches of dull ringworm, which have taken root in this body that is supposed to be related to "beauty" and can no longer be erased.
"It was all beaten by Qi Can." Chi Yan rolled up his sleeves again, and his arms were covered with scars, "I used a whip, I used a cigarette butt to burn it, and I used a red-hot iron. I followed him for half a year, and his body has already been beaten by him. Ruined. But these wounds are only flesh wounds, the worst of which are actually…”
Chi Yan wanted to touch his lower back, but couldn't. "Under his torture, I suffered from severe kidney disease, and my urinary system and reproductive system were all in trouble."
Yi Fei said: "You..."
Chi Yan shook his head: "You want to ask me why I didn't call the police, why didn't I run away when everything went to the worst? Haha, haha, you are just standing and talking without a backache! Isn't it just for resources that I endure so much pain? Qi Can promised me that he would send me to the crew of "Red Dust and Rivers and Lakes"! His assistant even gave me the script. I also met the director. The director told me personally that he admired me very much, and I interpreted it perfectly. That role!"
Chi Yan took a heavy breath, "But when the role was announced, it became Hu Ying. I don't hate Hu Ying, he is my good brother, we swore that we will share blessings and misfortunes. Be sure to pull the other person. I only hate Qi Can, why can't he do what he promised? He's playing with me!"
"I asked Qi Can to question, and he beat me all over again." A drop of tears fell from Chi Yan's eyes, which was quickly wiped away, "I want to end this relationship with him, he threatened me and said he wanted me to be in the entertainment industry. I can't get along anymore. I'm not afraid of him! Because my brother has a backer, and my brother is about to become popular. In the future, if there is Huying to help me, I'm still afraid of him Qi Can?"
"I'm looking for Huying, and Huying is filming. I'm looking for a company, but no one in the company is willing to help me. They hate me for offending Qi Can and force me to terminate the contract. My only hope is with Huying." Chi Yan After a long silence, he finally smiled bitterly, "But Hu Ying has forgotten what he promised me."
Chi Yan sighed, "This year, I haven't had a job, spent all my savings on seeing a doctor, and I can't live without a ghost. I was in hell watching my brother become a big star step by step, he... He didn't mention it once. He has been to me. What he calls looking for is just calling the number I stopped, and he has long forgotten about me! Between us, only I still remember the promise of the year!"
Mingshu finally said, "So you finally couldn't bear it, and decided to drag Hu Ying down from the 'altar' in this way of brutalizing innocents?"
Chi Yan's pupils seemed to freeze, his expression became confused, and it took more than ten seconds to react, "Do you think I should not do this? Do you?"
Yi Fei said, "Is it right to kill people?"
Chi Yan shook his head, "I killed people in this society. If the laws of this society want to punish me, then I will be punished. I will accept any punishment. It's my fault that I have no way to escape from this society. But 'should' or 'should not' , you are not qualified to judge. Only me, only me…”
With that said, Chi Yan raised his trembling hand and poked his chest vigorously, "Only I can judge."
"Sophistry." Fang Yuanhang said, "The more ruthless and perverted the murderer, the more he likes to glorify his crimes."
"They are indeed innocent, but who let them and Hu Ying play the real werewolf killing? I want to make things worse. If I don't find them, who else can I find?" Chi Yan said: "You only see them. Innocent, but have you seen my misery? Did you help me? Did Hu Ying help me? Am I born unlucky? I waited for Hu Ying to save me, but he... "
"Have you extended your hand?" It wasn't that Mingshu didn't have pity on the suspect, but looking at the murderer with a bizarre idea of "revenge" in front of him, he really couldn't empathize.
Chi Yan didn't seem to understand at all, "He can obviously pull me, and he can find out what I've been through and why I've terminated the contract. But he doesn't have me anymore, only his future! His career! But his future and career were taken from me!"
An angry roar echoed in the interrogation room, being smashed and torn apart, turning into inexplicable crying and laughter.
"Every day I live in pain, sickness, recuperation, and life!" Chi Yan's eyes were blood red, "Watching Huying being sought after by thousands of people is the most uncomfortable! Only by pulling him down from that position can I Feel better! He is so similar to me, how can he stand so high!"
Yi Fei wanted to say, take 10,000 steps back, you want revenge, shouldn't the object of revenge be Qi Can? Because he was afraid of Qi Can and knew that he couldn't move Qi Can, he transferred his resentment to his former friend and hurt three completely innocent people.
But to an unreasonable murderer, nothing makes sense.
"You asked Huang Yan to turn off the surveillance?" Mingshu said, "Among the three dead, Huang Yan's situation was the most special, and she 'cooperated' with you."
"Because she recognizes my face!" Chi Yan's brows showed a trace of satisfaction, this kind of satisfaction is very much like a dying person remembering his high-spirited glory, "When I went to her community to visit, she saw me, I didn't expect that I still have fans. She said she had seen me dance and liked me very much, and asked why I hadn't been active recently."
Mingshu said: "So you will count on it."
"I told her that I had quit the entertainment industry and returned to the life of an ordinary person." Chi Yan laughed until his chest made a muffled sound, "She believed it. I approached her slowly, and on the day I started, I asked her to wait for me at home and monitor the surveillance. Turn off everything. She is such an independent woman who actually obeys me."
"Did you leave the blood footprint on purpose?" Mingshu asked.
Chi Yan said, "I and Hu Ying are almost the same height and weight. Is it smart for me to do this?"
Fang Yuanhang murmured, "It's vicious."
"After killing them, I left a wolf's tooth mark on them. There are many people who died, and the police will definitely find out that these people played Werewolf together three years ago." Chi Yan said: "There are many lake shadows in my house. I still have his hair. At that time, as long as I throw his hair on the scene, he will be speechless, and he will be ruined! Just like me! "
"This is too small for our trace inspector." Xiao Man listened to the interrogation recording while conducting physical evidence inspection, "Do you think I can't test the time when the hair falls out?"
When he said "just like me", Chi Yan's eyes almost bulged out of his sockets, and jealousy had unknowingly changed his face, turning him from handsome to ugly, "I imagined the most ideal situation. Yes, the police caught Hu Ying, and the court sentenced him to death, everyone knows, ah, this person turned out to be a heinous murderer!"
"The ideal situation you envisioned no longer existed," Yi Fei said.
Chi Yan burst into a smirk, "But my goal is still achieved, didn't you find out?"
Fang Yuanhang was startled, "What do you mean?"
"Hu Ying is not the murderer, I am the heinous murderer!" Chi Yan said, "But isn't it because of Hu Ying that I killed so many people?"
Mingshu said: "Whether you can succeed or not, Huying has already been destroyed by you in the public eye. The success of the blame is the result you want most. If the blame fails, the person you killed is still Died because of Hu Ying. Everyone speaks loudly, under the current public opinion background, Hu Ying is likely to be hidden in the snow and gradually disappear like you."
Chi Yan laughed again, but his laughter was close to crying, "I've already explained it. Oh, yes, Hu Ying must have been taken care of by a big man, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get such good resources. He He is not a male god or a positive energy idol at all, he, like me, is a spoiled product!"
After the interrogation was over, Chi Yan was taken for an injury appraisal.
Yi Fei sat in the chair and didn't move for a long time.
Mingshu patted him, "It's not yet time to relax."
"It's not that I'm slack, that is, I feel very uncomfortable." Yi Fei let out a long sigh of relief, "The longer I stay in the serious crime team, the more extreme murderers I see. Are they pitiful? Also pitiful, If Chi Yan did not lie, then Qi Can was suspected of intentional injury and illegal detention. Chi Yan was the victim, but he is now the perpetrator with three lives in his hands. Li Zhaofeng and the three were really hit by the accident. ."
Mingshu understands all Yi Fei's thoughts, and even feels more pain than Yi Fei, because he has been exposed to more serious cases than Yi Fei.
The more experienced criminal police officers, when faced with a murder case, the more inclined they are to sort out the victim's interpersonal relationship and look for the most subtle contradictions.
The same goes for these three cases. It is precisely because of the repeated digging of Huang Yan's relationship network that the special action team is now carrying out the joint operation of "removing ghosts" in the north and local police forces. Those sins that have been buried for more than ten years and decades are exposed in the sunshine , to accept a belated trial.
Until recently, the serious crime team still focused on the werewolf killing game three years ago. In order to find the motive and logical support of the murderer, Xu Chun had already figured out everything that happened in Maoyang Village in the past ten or twenty years. Chu, on the side of Dongye City, the dark line that Hu Ying was being nurtured was also found out.
Before Chi Yan surfaced, no one expected that Zhu Linglong and the three of them were killed for this reason.
They have no grievances with Chi Yan, except Huang Yan, others don't even know who Chi Yan is.
Just because Chi Yan wanted to take revenge on Hu Ying, they lost their lives.
A criminal police officer with normal emotions, let alone after arriving at the murder scene, stands in the perspective of the murderer and uses strange logic to analyze the motive, that is, when the real murderer has appeared, and after listening to the real murderer's statement, he still has to force himself to change his mind. Thoroughly "understand" the murderer.
This is a burden for any criminal police officer.
And now, murderers like Chi Yan are on the rise. This means that a person lives his own life peacefully, without the slightest intersection with the murderer, and may be killed by the murderer suddenly. It also means that if the criminal police want to speed up the speed of solving the case, they must substitute themselves into the murderer.
As far as Mingshu knows, Hua Chong from the Luocheng Bureau is very good at this kind of substitution.
But in fact, it is a very dangerous thing to substitute into the extreme perverted psychology. Many good detectives have been destroyed because of this.
Mingshu thought that when he was free after a while, he had to go to Luocheng to discuss with Hua Chong.
Yi Fei wiped his face and squeezed out a smile, "I'm going to see how the physical evidence has been verified."
Mingshu stopped people, "Take a rest when you're tired, you're not in a good state."
Yi Fei was stunned, "Is it the captain's order?"
Mingshu said, "Yes, the captain's order."
Yi Fei nodded, his expression softened, "Xiao Ming, it's hard work."
Mingshu hurried to the physical evidence inspection center. At the same time, Xiao Yu'an was in the technical investigation team's office watching Hu Ying on the monitor.
"Xiao Bureau, do we need to take special measures against Huying now?" Zhou Yuan said, "I'm worried that he will commit suicide."
For a moment, Xiao Yu'an said: "Hu Ying is not the murderer of these three cases, but he has a problem."
