Madness of the Heart

Chapter 52: all day long (12)

Views:

Wu Zhen's personal belongings have been sorted into sorting boxes and temporarily placed in the office of the trace inspection department.

In addition to clothing and daily necessities, books and thick leather notebooks are the most common in the collection box. Xiao Man went to Liuguang Culture Media Company to read it, where there are a lot of books for screenwriters to consult, covering the most popular, film and television works, and almost all screenwriting textbooks. It stands to reason that Wu Zhen no longer needs to buy books by himself.

But the same screenwriter manual, Wu Zhen did not borrow it from the company, but bought it with his own money, and made a lot of records in the book with blue pens and red.

"What a diligent person." Xiao Man wore gloves and sighed while flipping through the books.

In addition to screenwriting related books, Wu Zhen also has an introduction to the guzheng.

This book was distributed by "Jianjia Bailu". As long as you take one-on-one courses, everyone will have one copy.

Sha Chun's fingerprints have been collected on the book, and there are also Sha Chun's handwriting on the first few pages. This is not surprising, when Sha Chun was teaching Wu Zhen, he would probably also flip through this book.

But when he picked up the thick leather notebook, Xiao Man suddenly had a strange feeling. He always felt that he had seen this notebook before.

Notebooks are very common, and you can buy one online for less than ten yuan. Exactly the same book, e-commerce can sell tens of thousands of copies last month.

Almost all Wu Zhen wrote in his notebook were his thoughts on the drama and the outline of the script, and there was no lack of inner suffering.

The professional things in the film and television industry have little effect on the detection of cases. On the contrary, the sporadic portrayal of the heart may suggest something. Xiao Man was watching intently when suddenly he heard someone knock on the open door.

The serious crime team is not so polite, and it almost never happens that they don't enter directly with the door open.

Xiao Man didn't lift his head, "Didn't you see you're busy? You're still knocking on the door, why are you pretending to be gentle?"

The assistant patted him and said loudly, "Xiao Bureau!"

Xiao Man immediately turned around and said embarrassedly: "Xiao Ju, I didn't know it was you..."

Xiao Yuan smiled and didn't care, "I'll take a look at Wu Zhen's personal belongings."

"It's all here." Xiao Man handed over a pair of gloves and pointed at the four thick leather notebooks laid out separately, "Wu Zhen occasionally writes a diary on it, look here."

Xiao Yuan took it, and his eyes fell on the short paragraph of strong and powerful font.

"Why do good expectations always fall through? Why are they fishing me with 'success'? Are they really better than me? No, they just have more luck than me. I want to fight again, I have given everything, I Is it worse than those people?"

"Those three books have already been written on the last page, and this one is only one-third used." Xiao Man quickly turned to the place where the fourth book was written, "Before he disappeared, Wu Zhen's handwriting had already changed significantly. "

"If you say that the front is strong and powerful, it is already a ghost painting peach talisman after writing it." Xiao Yuan said: "Psychological change is a long and sequential process, but about this time, Wu Zhen's psychology has undergone a significant change."

When speaking, Xiao Yuan pressed the fingers of his right hand on a certain page.

Xiao Man said, "Do you want to determine a rough time period?"

Xiao Yuan asked, "Can it be done?"

Xiao Man said to himself, "Yes!"

Xiao Yuan smiled, "It's hard work."

Xiao Man said: "By the way, Bureau Xiao, I don't think there is more than the contents of this notebook."

"What else did you find?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"Not yet." Xiao Man scratched his ears, "but I have a strong feeling - I've seen a similar notebook somewhere recently."

Xiao Yuan picked up the notebook again, "This notebook is very ordinary."

"I know." Xiao Man nodded, "but I'm just a little concerned."

"Then think about it again." Xiao Yu'an said, "Don't let go of any inspiration or clue."

The police officers transferred from the first criminal investigation team and the members of the serious crime team led by Yi Fei visited around Yilu Street. Mingshu went to Sha Chun's home in Jiachuang Community again.

The room was kept as it was and the food in the fridge was still not expired. Yong Huan said that he wanted to sort out Sha Chun's relics, but it was not the time yet.

Mingshu sat beside the guzheng in the practice room, looking at the bracket used to hold the phone opposite.

What does Sha Chun think about every time he sits here to practice and record performance videos

Must succeed this time.

The video recorded this time is great, and someone will definitely watch it.

Just hold on, don't give up...

Suddenly, the mobile phone in the trouser pocket vibrated, and Mingshu recovered to find that it was a message from Xiao Yuan.

There was only one photo in the dialog, a notebook with a black cover.

"Entering" is displayed on the screen.

Soon, Xiao Yuan sent a voice: "Do you have an impression of this notebook?"

Mingshu enlarged the photo, thought about it for a long time, stood up immediately, and ran to the bookshelf beside him.

The last time he was here, he saw a thick leather notebook, but there were other things at the time, so he didn't take it out to check it carefully.

There are not many books on the shelf, almost all of them are related to music. Mingshu took off the notebook, opened it, and saw that it was blank, with nothing written.

This is a brand new, unused notebook.

"Brother, where did you see the notebook in your photo?" Mingshu called and asked.

"The trace examination department was left by Wu Zhen." Xiao Yu'an said, "Xiao Man has an impression of this notebook, but he can't remember it for a while. One of the places he has been to recently is the Performing Arts Center and the other is Sha Chun. 's house, you happen to be in Sha Chun's house, so I'll let you take a look."

Mingshu immediately put the notebook into the evidence bag, looked up at the bookshelf again, and there were several other notebooks inside, "Wu Zhen and Sha Chun have the same notebook... Brother, Sha Chun's notebooks are all light-colored, girls like it kind of."

Having said that, Ming Shu has already taken out all the notebooks, and then walked quickly to the bedroom.

He still remembered that in Sha Chun's tent, there was a small hard-faced notebook with cartoon characters inside and out, quite cute.

Today's young people call it a hand account.

Compared with other notebooks of Shachun, the thick leather notebook is extremely different.

"This may not belong to Sha Chun." Mingshu said, "But if it is Wu Zhen's, why is it here in Sha Chun?"

"Bring it back first." Xiao Yu'an said, "Leave it to the trace inspection for identification."

Summer has come to an end, but the last wave of scorching heat still makes people who are running around secretly complain.

When Wu Zhen just disappeared, the police station didn't get Luo Xiu's clue, so they couldn't find Yilu Street. Now that the serious crime team has arrived, the best time to solve the case has passed.

School is about to start, and the children are hurrying to have fun. This area is full of old houses, the alleys are very narrow, and the ground is the kind of bluestone slabs that have been paved for decades and have long been cracked. As soon as Yi Fei came out of a house, it was terribly hot, and when he opened the kettle to take a sip, he was hit by two children running from behind and hit his waist.

"Fuck it!" The deputy team of the always civilized also exploded. I saw that the two children were only seven or eight years old, carrying camouflage bags, wearing imitation military helmets, water bottles on their waists, and walking up an old staircase. run away.

Yi Fei suddenly remembered a ridiculous case in Xicheng District some time ago. Seven children teamed up to explore away from home. They were equipped with professional equipment, compass, engineer, shovel, tent, and infrared binoculars. Two of the children even brought parachutes.

The parents of the seven families were going crazy, and the city was looking for people. The police dispatched the police from the police station and the special police from the branch, and finally found the children in a cave on the outskirts of the city.

At that time, due to the heavy rain, the river swelled, and the seven "explorers" hid in the cave. If the rain had been heavier, they might have died when the police arrived.

Because of this case, the city bureau held a special meeting, requesting the sub-bureau and police station to step up patrols, and to stop and contact the parents of children who see signs of leaving home to explore.

The serious crime team didn't care about this kind of public security incident, but Yi Fei was a policeman anyway, so he quickly called a team member and asked them to follow the two children.

Not long after, the team member suddenly shouted in the group channel: "These two children didn't run away from home, but their mother came to find the body! What happened to the children now? I didn't have such courage when I first joined the team!"

There is a vocational school three kilometers away from the old residential area of Yilu Street. It was closed more than half a year ago due to qualification problems. The teaching building is already empty, but there are still people living in the staff dormitory.

The dormitory and the teaching building are separated by a playground. Originally, the direction of the teaching building was the main entrance, but after the school was closed, the main entrance was closed, and a small door near the dormitory was opened.

In this way, the teaching building seems to be hidden in the depths.

Before the closure, the vocational school planned to build another laboratory building on the side of the teaching building, so there was a large amount of construction waste behind the teaching building, as well as a cement mixer common in townships.

It was the adventure destination of two daring children.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, Yi Fei immediately smelled a not strong but very familiar odor - corpse odor.

The source of the stench was a strangely shaped cement mound not far away.

The vocational school was originally remote, and almost no one came after it was closed. The cement piers were hidden under rotten wood and bricks, making it difficult to attract attention.

In the recent days of continuous sunny and high temperature, the cement piers cracked slightly, allowing the odor of the corpse to be released.

When he got the news, Mingshu was driving to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and he turned around before hanging up the phone. Yi Fei's voice rippled throughout the carriage: "The pier has been opened, the body has been put in a plastic bag, it has been seriously decomposed, and the clothes and physical appearance are male. Guess what we found in the pocket of his trousers? "

Mingshu said: "Don't sell off!"

After the pier was opened, the stench of the corpse could no longer be suppressed. Yi Fei was so dizzy that he couldn't open his eyes, "Langweixian's packaging bag!"

One of the two children is Zhou Li and the other is Xu Yin. They are both only 8 years old. Xu Yin looks like a kid, but she is actually a girl.

As soon as Mingshu asked, the two of them made all the moves.

Zhou Li and Xu Yin are neighbors. Xu Yin’s parents are both deceased. There is only a deaf-mute grandfather at home. Although Zhou Li’s parents are still alive, they both work in other places and sometimes do not come back once a year. There are elderly grandma and grandfather at home. .

The two grew up together and loved watching shows like wilderness adventures and haunted house horrors. They wanted to leave home to explore for a long time, but they were stared at by Zhou Li's grandmother and grandfather, so they could only wander around.

A week ago, Xu Yin found that there was a corpse smell under the teaching building of the vocational school, so he told Zhou Li that the two planned to bring equipment and find the body together.

"Wait!" Ming Shu looked at Xu Yin: "How can you tell it's a corpse odor?"

Before the pier was opened, there was indeed a corpse odor in the air, but it was not obvious. Not to mention a little girl who was only 8 years old, even an adult might not be able to smell anything abnormal.

In addition to the hot weather, there is a rotten plant behind the teaching building, which has an unpleasant smell.

Xu Yin's eyes suddenly became weird, and Zhou Li said, "Because she lived with her parents' corpses for a week!"

Fang Yuanhang was horrified, "What?"

"I can tell the difference." Xu Yin laughed, but the smile on a child's face didn't make people feel cute, only terrifying, "I can smell it, that's the smell of dead people."

Mingshu motioned Fang Yuanhang to investigate immediately, and contacted the psychologist in the bureau—whether or not this little girl was involved in an unsolved murder case, she must have serious psychological problems.

How could a normal child invite friends to play the game of finding the corpse after smelling the corpse odor.

Because of the partition effect of cement, the decay rate of the corpse is slow. Xing Mu shook his head after the preliminary autopsy, "There is no fatal injury on the body surface for the time being. After the autopsy, I can tell you the cause of death."

Mingshu looked at the man's corpse's clothes. Although the surface of the clothes is already dirty, it can still be seen that this is the one that Wu Zhen was wearing when he was photographed by surveillance on June 21. Combined with the Langweixian packaging bag in the trousers pocket, this male corpse is likely to be Wu Zhen.

The scene has been completely sealed off. Xing Mu took the lead in bringing the male corpse back to the bureau for autopsy and DNA comparison. Trace investigators stayed nearby to collect possible traces of crimes. Mingshu retreated step by step, looked at the cement mixer, and then looked at the teaching building, "Wu Zhen's actions on June 21 looked like he was about to find short-sightedness, but the victim just now must have been murdered. Hide the body with cement and put it away. In this kind of place that is no different from the wilderness, if it is investigated as an ordinary disappearance case, I am afraid that it will not be found within a year and a half."

Before the autopsy results of the male corpse came out, Fang Yuanhang figured out what happened to Xu Yin's home.

Xu Yin's parents used to work in coastal cities. During the summer vacation two years ago, Xu Yin was taken over to live with his parents. In that short summer, a horrific thing happened - Xu Yin's mother had an affair with a worker on the construction site, and was discovered by Xu Yin's father. The two had a heated argument in the rented room, and Xu's mother accidentally killed her. He killed his father, and then committed suicide because of fear. Xu Yin witnessed her mother commit suicide, and was so frightened that she fainted. When she woke up, she wanted to go out, but found that the door was already locked and she couldn't open it at all.

In this way, Xu Yin coexisted with his parents' bodies in the sultry one-bedroom for many days until the police broke in.

The coast was hot and humid, and the two corpses exuded an unbearable stench. After the case was solved, Xu Yin was sent back to Dongye City and received psychological treatment for a period of time, but he could not return to his original state.

She always said that she liked corpses and the stench of corpses, and in that stench she felt happy and at peace, just as she did when she was still living with her parents.

"It's too pitiful." Fang Yuanhang said, "If she can't correct her mentality, what will happen when she grows up?"

Mingshu didn't have much time to sigh about a little girl's life, there are so many things that he needs to deal with right now.

Autopsy and DNA comparisons are in progress.

After Wu Zhen disappeared, the police station collected DNA from Wu Zhen's daily necessities, which is the key to confirming whether the male corpse is Wu Zhen.

Xiao Man came from the trace examination department with the notebook Ming Shu brought back from Sha Chun's house in his hand, "Team Ming! This is indeed Wu Zhen's notebook, and I extracted Wu Zhen's fingerprints on it!"

It's not surprising that Sha Chun's fingerprints and handwriting are on Wu Zhen's guzheng learning materials, but why are there Wu Zhen's fingerprints on Sha Chun's notebook

"The relationship between Wu Zhen and Sha Chun is definitely closer than we thought." Mingshu walked around in front of Xiao Yu'an, "Wu Zhen's class was supposed to last until the beginning of July, but his last class was at 'Jianjia Bailu'. It was June 13, and the reason was dissatisfaction with the course. Like this one-on-one teaching, the so-called 'dissatisfaction with the course' often refers to dissatisfaction with the teacher."

Xiao Yu'an said: "Wu Zhen doesn't seem to have any dissatisfaction with Sha Chun. Let's push, why this notebook is in Sha Chun's hands."

"There are five notebooks in total. The technical investigation has checked Wu Zhen's online shopping records. These five books were bought by him three years ago, and the five books are a set." Mingshu said: "Before he disappeared, he ran out of it. Three, the fourth is in use, and the last has not moved."

Xiao Yuan said: "Many screenwriters and writers are used to carrying a notebook with them to jot down sudden inspirations. Wu Zhen should be the same. But there is no reason for him to carry a notebook that he has not yet started to use."

"In other words, as long as Sha Chun doesn't go to Wu Zhen's residence, he shouldn't see this notebook." Mingshu made a fist with his right hand and lightly touched his chin, "Whether it's the surveillance of the community where Liuguang is located, or Wu Zhen's. Colleagues' confessions can all prove that Sha Chun has never been to Wu Zhen's residence. This thing is not what Sha Chun asked Wu Zhen for, but Wu Zhen took the initiative to give it to Sha Chun. "

"Why did Wu Zhen do this?" Xiao Yuan asked.

Mingshu frowned, "This..."

"Maybe it was given to Sha Chun as a souvenir." Xiao Yu'an said: "I have roughly read the contents of the notebook in the trace examination department. It can be said that what is written in it is Wu Zhen's soul and hard work as a screenwriter-every The character biography of the script, the main line, every detail scene, and his insights before and after writing. There is no doubt that the notebook is very important to him."

"Wu Zhen knew that he couldn't use the last book, so he gave it to Sha Chun?" Mingshu said, "So in Wu Zhen's heart, Sha Chun is a very important person? This is obviously contrary to Wu Zhen's 'dissatisfaction with the course'. Ah. Moreover, Sha Chun accepted the notebook and kept it at home, which at least shows that Sha Chun and Wu Zhen actually have friendship. But after Wu Zhen disappeared, Sha Chun did not respond, just like a stranger who was missing. I think After going to the police station to investigate 'Jianjia Bailu', Sha Chun was completely clueless."

"She deliberately concealed the truth from the police, just like Luo Xiu." Xiao Yu'an said, "Sha Chun may even know the truth about Wu Zhen's disappearance."

Mingshu slammed his fist on the edge of the table, "Unfortunately, he has already died without proof."

The DNA comparison results were released before the autopsy report, and the man's body was indeed Wu Zhen, who disappeared two months ago.

Later, Xing Mu called Mingshu to the forensic identification center, "The victim died of sodium cyanide poisoning."
