As the saying goes, "people's hearts are separated from the belly", to judge a person's quality, we must not just look at the surface. In today's world, there are a lot of people who are different from each other. As a criminal police officer, I have a deep understanding of this. Among the cases I dealt with, there is no case where the culprit can be judged from the surface alone, because almost all of them hide their ugly side deep in their hearts.
Let's stop the gossip, let's do some routine self first! My lord, Mu Shenyu, is a policeman who belongs to the "Curious Case Team" that specializes in investigating strange cases. This time my team needs to investigate a bizarre serial murder case, with five dead... Oh, I was wrong, and Wu Yu, who suffered misfortune last night, is six in total. The bodies of the six deceased were found less than 24 hours after they were killed, but when they were found, they were already shriveled and mummified corpses that had lost all their blood.
According to our investigation, Wu Yu, the father of the first deceased, Wu Hao, already knew who the murderer was, and he wanted to sacrifice himself so that we could arrest the murderer on the spot. It's a pity that God's will is messing with people. When I went to the appointed place, I received a message from Jianhua, and now I have been delayed for a while. However, it is these times that let us miss the murderer.
Although the murderer could not be arrested on the spot, and almost all the known clues were broken, the murderer dropped a beaded bracelet when escaping, which of course became an important clue for us to find the real murderer. However, this is not a string of ordinary bead chains, but a string of fixed soul iron. Based on the patterns on the surface of the beads, I can be sure that this is the birthday present I gave to Jian Hua when she was sixteen years old. Coupled with the information sent by Jian Hua at a critical moment, all the spearheads seem to be pointing at her, but I really can't believe that she will be a murderous devil.
Although I don't believe that Jianhua is the murderer, I can't bend the law for personal gain. Therefore, I must seriously investigate this case and find out the truth so that Jianhua can be cleared of suspicion. Of course, if Jian Hua is really the murderer, I will arrest her with my own hands, although I am extremely reluctant to do so.
To clear the suspicion of Jianhua, I first need to figure out two things, one is why the bracelet I gave her fell from the murderer, and the other is why she sent me a message at a critical moment. The best way to know the answer, of course, is to ask her directly, I don't think she will lie to me, or I hope she won't lie to me.
Came to Linan College with Zhen Zhen, seeing Hua was the same as usual, when he saw us from a distance, he smiled and waved to us, trotted to us and said with a breathless smile, "Brother Shen Yu, Sister Zhen Zhen, you guys Are you inviting me to dinner again?"
"What about us, every time I pay for it!" I pretended to be nothing, joked with her as usual, and motioned to have dinner in the academy's restaurant together.
On the way to the restaurant, Jian Hua suddenly asked me in a low voice, "What's wrong with Sister Zhen Zhen, why haven't you spoken? Are you two making trouble?"
Zhen Zhen's thoughts were always written directly on her face, she had no acting skills to speak of, of course, Jian Hua would notice something wrong. However, I don't want to say to Jianhua directly, "We suspect that you are the murderer", because I really don't believe that she will be the murderer, and I'm afraid that it will hurt her. So, I pretended to reply in a low voice: "This is our business, don't talk too much, little girl."
Seeing Hua pouting: "If you don't say it, don't say it!"
"What are you mumbling about?" Zhen Zhen stabbed me, I followed Jian Hua and continued walking.
After arriving at the restaurant, I wanted to find a chance to ask Jian Hua why he sent me a message last night and about the bracelet. If I turn to someone else, I can think of a hundred or dozens of ways to ask, but the other party is Jian Hua, so I really don't know how to speak. Zhen Zhen probably felt anxious when she saw that I hadn't spoken for a while, so she even asked for me: "Jian Hua, weren't you repairing at night around nine o'clock last night? Why did you send a message to Amu?"
Jianhua looked at Zhen Zhen in amazement, and only answered after a while: "Yes, I didn't send a message to Brother Shen Yu last night! Sister Zhen Zhen, please don't misunderstand." She thought that Zhen Zhen was jealous, but that's not the case. Well, at least it won't make the scene too embarrassing. However, her answer is more or less suspicious, after all, I did hear from her.
"Did you study by yourself in the classroom at that time?" Zhen Zhen's question seemed superfluous, but if Jian Hua could prove that she was in the classroom at the time, then she would have evidence of alibi to clear the suspicion of the murderer. It seems that Zhen Zhen has been with me for so long and has become wiser.
However, Jian Hua's answer made me a little disappointed: "I was a little uncomfortable last night and didn't go to class."
Zhen Zhen seemed to want to keep asking, I was afraid that she would frighten Jian Hua, so I tugged at the corner of her clothes secretly and motioned her to let me speak. Then he said to Jian Hua in a half-joking, half-questioning tone, "Then you went there to fish last night?"
"I went to fish!" Jian Hua pouted: "I really feel uncomfortable, and I slept in the dormitory."
"Can someone prove it?" Zhen Zhen said these words bluntly, her tone was like interrogating a suspect.
Jian Hua seemed to notice something was wrong with the atmosphere, and looked at me suspiciously: "Brother Shen Yu, did something happen?"
I hurriedly smiled and said, "What will happen then, but last night I received an inexplicable message from your number. I called you but couldn't get through, so someone was jealous."
"Who are you talking about!" Zhen Zhen glared at me fiercely.
When Jian Hua saw our flirtatious behavior, his previous doubts were swept away, but he became nervous anyway, and hurriedly explained to Zhen Zhen: "Sister Zhen Zhen, I really didn't send a message to Brother Shen Yu, please don't. Misunderstanding!"
Zhen Zhen wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but I immediately tugged at the corner of her clothes again, signaling her not to cause trouble. She glared at me angrily, then turned her head and said nothing. Seeing this, Hua winked at me, probably wanting to ask me if Zhen Zhen was angry. I smiled and said, "If you tell the truth about your situation last night, she will not be angry."
Jian Hua frowned: "I slept in the dormitory last night, nothing special happened!"
"Was there anyone else in the dorm at the time?" I asked.
After thinking for a while, she said, "It shouldn't be. Everyone went to cultivate at night, so I was the only one."
This is troublesome, no one can prove whether she was really in the dormitory at the time, and it is even more difficult to clear the suspicion. After thinking for a moment, I asked, "Then was your phone on you at the time?"
"Yeah, I put my phone on the table to charge last night, no one should have touched it." She looked confused.
I originally thought that I could get evidence from her mouth to clear her suspicions, but I didn't expect that the more I asked, the more people felt that she was very suspicious. However, the fact that she did not defend herself was enough to prove that she was not the real murderer. Of course, this is just wishful thinking on my part.
After parting with Jian Hua, Zhen Zhen asked me why I didn't ask Jian Hua about the bead chain, I smirked: "It's not the time to ask this."
"Then when will I ask?" Her pressing gaze made me feel guilty for a while, and when I was about to speak, she said: "The situation is already obvious now, you just need to confirm. If you don't want to come forward, I can speak for you."
"I didn't mean that..." I never imagined that I would hesitate in front of her.
"What does that mean!" She stared at me with serious eyes, and pressed me a step further: "I don't want to see Hua as the murderer, but we are the police. It is our duty to find out the truth and arrest the murderer!"
"This..." For a while, I didn't know how to answer her.
Fortunately, she suddenly changed her tone: "Don't say I'm unkind, I'll give you one day to investigate. If you don't find any evidence that can clear Jian Hua's suspicions, then let me arrest her. ."
Although Zhen Zhen usually sings against me, but rarely takes it so seriously, it seems that I was really too emotional this time. Although she only gave me one day, I really couldn't think of any reason to refuse, so I nodded with a smirk. Now all the superficial evidence is very unfavorable to Jianhua. It is really not easy to clear her suspicions within today, but it is a human effort, as long as a serious investigation can always find some clues. However, after spending half a day wandering around the academy, we still found nothing.
Walking with Zhen Zhen to the front of a teaching building, I heard a quarrel coming from inside. Although I couldn't hear it clearly, I felt that the noise inside was quite intense. The students were out of school by this time, so I thought it was weird, so I went in to see what was going on.
After entering the teaching building, I found that it was a staircase room. The quarrel came from a couple of men and women on the podium. There were about ten students watching in front of the podium. The clothes worn by the man and woman were very special, the man was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and the woman was wearing a red cheongsam. I think maybe the drama club is rehearsing!
A flash of light suddenly flashed in my mind, and I remembered something that I had neglected for a long time, that is, the five deceased people in this case have one thing in common—they all used to be members of the drama club.
Just when I was thinking about starting with the drama club, maybe I can find some clues and use this as a way to clear the suspicion of Jian Hua, a young girl's voice came from beside me: "Brother Shen Yu, Sister Zhen Zhen, do you also come to the rehearsal? ?" Jian Hua immediately appeared from beside me.
Oh my god, I forgot that Jianhua once said that she also joined the drama club. Now it seems that her suspicion is even greater.
While chatting with Jianhua, I watched the rehearsal of the drama on the podium. They seemed to be rehearsing a patriotic drama. I didn't pay much attention to the content, but the heroine made me feel a sense of deja vu. Whether it's her voice or looks, I feel familiar, but I'm sure I don't know her. Therefore, I asked Jianhua, "What's the name of the girl on the podium?"
"Hee hee..." Jian Hua covered his mouth and smiled, and instead of answering my question, he asked me, "Guess what."
It really made me feel inexplicable that she asked this question. How can I guess the name of a girl I don't know? So I had to laugh that I couldn't guess and let her tell me. She laughed for a while before opening her mouth: "Actually, you've seen her before, and you know her name!"
"When did I meet her?" I was relatively confident in my memory, and I was sure that I had never seen this girl before.
Jianhua suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha... Didn't you see him in my classroom before, he is actually Xiaojian!"
"What?" I was stunned, and immediately observed the girls on the podium carefully. After looking at it carefully, I found that this "girl" is indeed very similar to Xiaojian in appearance, and the voice is also a bit similar. However, no matter how he looks now, he is also a girl. If it wasn't for Jian Hua's reminder, it would be hard for people to imagine that he was actually a man disguised as a woman.
Later, Jianhua told me that Xiaojian has a talent for acting in dramas, especially in the role of a female role. Many people who knew him didn't recognize him the first time they watched him rehearse.
Watching Xiao Jian's excellent performance, the scene of Wu Yu arguing with a mysterious girl suddenly appeared in his mind that night in the woods by the lake, and the more he listened, the more he felt that his voice was somewhat similar to that girl. A thought gradually formed in my mind - is Xiaojian the mysterious girl
This assumption is not impossible. At first, he was excluded from the list of suspects because he was found dizzy when he saw blood, but now he thinks it carefully and thinks it is too rash. Because I overlooked an important point of this case, that is, the deceased killed by Ren Xiaojian will not have blood at all! Of course, this is just my speculation, and it is absolutely impossible to conclude that he is the murderer. I have to investigate him seriously. So, I asked Jianhua about Xiaojian's background.
"I heard that his parents are both laid-off workers, his father is now a doorman, and his mother is a cleaner. The environment at home is not very good..." Jian Hua looked at Xiao Jian dressed in women's clothes on the podium and slowly told us about his condition—
Although Xiaojian's family is relatively poor, he has never complained about others. He has a more optimistic personality and thinks that as long as he is willing to work hard, he can improve the environment at home one day, so he studies very seriously and his academic performance is also very good.
He has been fond of acting since he was a child, and he also participated in the drama club when he was in middle school. It was at that time that he practiced his ability to dress up as a woman. He originally wanted to apply for Beiying, but I heard that the cost of going to Beiying is very high. Although he played the female role vividly, but now the competition in the entertainment industry is so fierce and there are so many unspoken rules, it may not be possible after graduation. Can find work. Therefore, instead of enrolling in Beiying, he chose Lenan College, which could provide him with a scholarship.
After entering Linan College, although he studied hard, he did not give up his interest. He once said to me: "Even if there are only a handful of audience members, as long as I can stand on the stage and perform, I will feel very satisfied." He is the most diligent among them.
His acting skills are really good, even better than some stars. Sometimes he loses his temper inexplicably or suddenly loses his nerves. In fact, he is just joking with us, but we can't see that he is pretending...
There is a saying that "players are ruthless". The ancients said that the actors are smooth and hypocritical. Although there is an element of prejudice, how can actors who are good at performing life on stage show their true feelings in their daily life? ? Moreover, Jianhua once told me that Xiaojian had a holiday with one of the deceased Wu Hao, which made me even more suspicious of him. When I mentioned this to Jianhua, she said, "He hates the playboy like Wu Hao the most. He has had conflicts with a few young boys who joined the drama club to play with each other..."
