"I want to know what happened the night before." After Liu Xin finished cremating a body, I asked Director Xu to call him to the office and question him.
"The night before last scared me a lot." His expression was slightly panic, and he slowly told the situation of the night before—
In the middle of the night the night before, as usual, I planned to walk around the field and go back to the guard room to sleep. I patrol the morgue first, because the mortuary is at the back of the crematorium, and I start patrolling from there every time. Everything was the same as usual, the bodies there were lying quietly in the freezer, and there was nothing unusual.
However, when I got behind the crematorium, I had no idea what was going on at the front door, and even if someone sneaked in, I wouldn't have noticed, after all, I was the only one on the night shift. I walked all the way from the mortuary, and when I went to the condolence room, I suddenly heard a terrified scream, which should have come from the cremation room.
The crematorium in the middle of the night was so silent that I could hear my heartbeat, so this sudden scream shocked me a lot, and I thought it was a corpse fraud. But after thinking about it, even corpse fraud should only happen in the morgue. At this time in the cremation room, there will be corpses that can be swindled.
In the crematorium in the middle of the night, not only will there be no corpses, even people should not have them, but the screams are real and continue to be heard. If it were someone else, I would definitely think it was haunted, but I don't think so. I didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world since I was a child, so I wondered if a thief might have slipped in. However, when I think about it again, I feel that something is wrong. Even if a thief does come in, there is nothing scary in the cremation room, and the thief is guilty of a thief and should not dare to make too much noise.
The more I thought about it, the more I didn't understand, and the more I didn't understand, the more I wanted to know what was going on, so I rushed to the cremation room to see what was going on. Because I walked in from the condolence room, I didn't walk into the cremation furnace, but outside the glass wall. I looked in with a flashlight through the glass wall, and found a figure curled up in front of the cremator. Although I was separated by the glass, I could still hear him screaming incessantly.
I didn't think much of it at the time. I thought he was a thief, so I immediately detoured to the cremation furnace, and the man was still curling up and screaming. I rushed in front of him, grabbed him and prepared to beat him, but when I saw his face clearly with the help of the light of the flashlight, I realized that he turned out to be Xiao Liang.
I asked him why he came so late? He didn't answer me, just kept yelling that there was a ghost in the cremation room and wanted to seek revenge from him...
Although I think Liu Xin is very suspicious, but no loopholes have been found in his confession. He can't be arrested just by saying "I don't think you are a good person"! In desperation, he had to temporarily let him go.
Liu Xin and Guo Ting are both suspicious, and it cannot be ruled out that they have conspired to harm Liang Jin. Unfortunately, no relevant clues have been found for the time being, and it is difficult to follow up for a while. At this time, there happened to be trouble in the university town. As soon as I returned to the conspiracy team, I was arrested by the boss and brought into the office.
I sat down and prepared to report to the boss about the investigation of the crematorium, but before I could speak, he spoke first: "There has been a big mess in the university town. In recent months, at least a dozen male students have disappeared mysteriously. Live without people, dead without corpses."
I lit a cigarette, thought for a moment, and said, "Will I be tricked into doing pyramid schemes? Recently, pyramid schemes are rampant."
"The University City Police Station thought the same thing at the beginning, so it didn't pay attention to it before. But as similar cases continue to occur, and the missing person is like disappearing from the world, there is still no news. They feel that something is wrong, so they hand it over to the world. We handle it."
"It's okay for them. If they feel something is wrong, they push us on the head, saving effort and worry!" I complained dissatisfiedly, and said, "What about the crematorium case?"
"You went for a walk with Zhen Zhen all day, what did you find?" the boss asked back.
I scratched my head and looked slightly embarrassed: "I haven't found any key findings, and I haven't figured out why the client went crazy. However, I think the security guard of the crematorium Liu Xin and the client's wife Guo Ting are suspicious. They conspired to scare the client crazy..." Then, I reported the information I collected to the boss one by one.
The boss clasped his fists in front of his lips, pondering silently, his small eyes slid like foxes on his big face full of cheap meat, twitching like a fox. After a while, he said, "Have you ever wondered why they scare the client crazy?"
"It's similar to Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing. Jiao Po meets Zi Fan and drives her husband crazy. It will be much more convenient to cheat in the future."
(“Jiaopo meets Zifanke” is a Cantonese slang term, and its afterword is “to hit it off”. “Jiaopo” means a slut, and “Zifanke” means a slut and a little white face.)
"Your inference is too sloppy!" The boss showed a sly look. "According to your description, the client's wife is very greedy and almost treats the client as a cash cow. The client's madness does not necessarily benefit her much. After all, crematoriums are not She will definitely pay her compensation, but her husband's salary will go into her pocket every month. And the security guard is only a temporary worker, even if she is paid all the salary, it will not be much. More importantly, the client will not steal from her whether it is normal or not. How much influence. So the client's madness is only bad for her, not good."
What the boss said makes sense. Although Guo Ting is not necessarily a good person, it is not good for Liang Jin to go crazy, so the security guard Liu Xin is even more suspicious. So I said, "You mean that Liu Xin did it alone to drive Liang Jin crazy?"
"He doesn't necessarily drive the client crazy." The boss seemed to appreciate my confused expression, and continued after a while: "First of all, you have to understand one thing, that is, before the accident, the client would not treat the security guard and himself at all. What is the hindrance of the wife's cheating. Now that he is crazy, staying at home prevents them from fooling around, so this reason is not valid. Secondly, after the client goes crazy, the security guard has no benefit. If he is willing to be a cremator, then he has a lot to do Suspected, but he refused..." He didn't go on, just gave me a sly smile.
I know that the boss should think about why Liu Xin refused to be a fire engineer. Of course, the reason is that he is afraid of being tired. He just wants to test me. After thinking for a moment, I said, "He has repeatedly asked to work night shifts. Could it be possible for him to get more benefits from working night shifts than being a cremator?"
The boss smiled and nodded: "Well, this possibility is very high, people are greedy, and the only one who can make people give up their own interests is the greater interests. When he was on the night shift, he was the only one in the entire crematorium. No one knows what he did. However, the person involved slipped back to the crematorium for some reason the night before, maybe he happened to meet the good thing he did, so he was scared crazy."
I thought of the word "corpse rape" again, because in the crematorium there is nothing but corpses. Maybe Liu Xin has this hobby. He was the only one who was at the crematorium with Liang Jin the night before, so Liang Jin was scared crazy there, and only he knew it. Maybe he was doing those disgusting things in the morgue at the time, and Liang Jin didn't know why he slipped into the morgue, and was scared crazy. Later, in order to cover up his evil deeds, he took Liang Jin to the cremation room, and then claimed that Liang Jin was scared crazy in the cremation room.
Although this inference is reasonable, there are still many doubts. The most suspicious thing is why Liang Jin slipped back to the crematorium late at night. However, in any case, Liu Xin is very suspicious, but unfortunately it is not easy to find evidence. After all, it has been two days since the incident. Even if he really raped the corpse, the desecrated corpse may have been cremated.
I told Lao Dao what I thought, and the boss thought for a moment and then said: "I have tried the blood-smelling lion, but I can't suppress the bloodthirsty desire. Since he asked to work the night shift again, he will definitely make Liang Jin go crazy again. Let Xueqing follow up on the crematorium case, and you can deal with the university town case first!"
The crematorium failed to find any key clues. Everything was speculation by me and the boss. If I continued to walk in the past, it might not be helpful for the investigation. Let Xueqing handle it, anyway, she is best at tracking and monitoring.
I explained the case of the crematorium to Xueqing and told her to keep an eye on Liu Xin's every move, and then I immediately rushed to the university town with Zhen Zhen.
The university town is located on a peninsula not far from the central city of the provincial capital and its southern bank area. There are ten colleges and universities stationed in it, covering an area of about 43 square kilometers and a population of about 350,000, including 180,000 students, which is equivalent to a medium-sized university. City.
We came to the University Town police station, and the police officer in charge of the case handed over the information to me for review. According to the data, at least 12 people have disappeared mysteriously so far, all of them are students, males, and all of them are out-of-town students. There were no signs of disappearance before, and there was no news after the disappearance.
Although the government has ordered the news to be blocked, the matter has spread among students through campus forums, and the entire university town is in danger. If it continues, I am afraid it will have a serious negative impact on future enrollment. Therefore, of course, the police station did not dare to perfunctory, but they couldn't find out what happened, so they had to leave it to us.
The police station's case records are too simple to be simple. Except for recording the personal information of the missing person and the time of their last appearance, there is nothing else. How can people investigate this? In addition to being depressed, I found out that the last missing student, Bai Yao, last appeared the day before yesterday. According to his roommate, he disappeared after going out the night before.
Shouldn't it be the day before yesterday? No matter how strange things happened together, Liang Jin was frightened in the crematorium, and this student named Bai Yao disappeared mysteriously. However, the crematorium is a little far from the university, and the two things should have nothing to do with each other, just a coincidence in time.
Bai Yao is a student of the University of Foreign Studies, referred to as "Wai Da", and among the twelve missing persons, including him, six are foreign students, so it is necessary to go to Wai University.
When we arrived at Waida, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, so we went directly to Bai Yao's dormitory to ask his roommate about his situation. According to a roommate named Chen Shen, the last time he saw Bai Yao was around ten o'clock the night before—
We are classmates and live in the same dormitory, so we go back to the dormitory together after our self-study every night, and the same goes for the night before. At that time, I didn't think there was anything wrong with him. It was the same as usual. We chatted all the way back to the dormitory. After returning to the dormitory, we used the computer to watch movies together, which is how we usually do. Because other buddies usually come back after playing basketball for a while, and there is only one computer in the dormitory, we either watch movies together or take turns playing games online. I had already seen the movie that I watched the night before, so I went to take a shower after watching it for a while, and he continued to watch it by himself. When I came back from the shower, I saw that he had changed into a beautiful set of clothes and was combing his hair in front of the mirror, as if he was going out. Since he usually doesn't go out at this time, I asked him where he wanted to go.
He didn't tell me where to go, he just smiled mysteriously and said, "Go and shoot, hehe..."
"Damn, you can't hold it anymore, do you want to call all the other buddies together." He was the only virgin in our dormitory. Before the boss took us to shoot, he didn't dare to go, saying he was afraid of getting sick.
"Master, I'm playing free guns tonight, we can't play together, hee hee..." He said and was about to go out.
I had never heard of him having a girlfriend before, I thought maybe he just met, so I pulled him and asked him who he had gotten into. But he wasn't sure about it, and of course I wouldn't let him go if he didn't tell him. After pestering him for a while, he said that I knew that person too, and he would tell me who he was when he came back after the shooting. I just let him go, but I didn't expect that he didn't come back for two days after he left...
Two important pieces of information can be obtained from Chen Shen's account. One is that Bai Yao went on a date with a girl before he disappeared, and the other is that Chen Shen, the girl he was dating, also knew him. So I asked him who Bai Yao might date. He thought for a while and replied: "To be honest, if he said I didn't know him, I could guess, but he said I knew him, and I really can't think of it."
"Why can't you think of it when you know it?" Zhen Zhen asked in confusion.
He shrugged and said, "We are from the foreign language department, and most of the girls we know are from the department. The biggest characteristic of girls in the foreign language department is that they dislike the poor and love the rich. Poor boys like us, they don't like Ben. If you don’t have a thousand or a few hundred in your wallet, it’s impossible to have a meal with them.”
"Are there no exceptions?" I asked. Nothing is absolute, there will always be people who are different.
"Yes, yes, but it's not our turn. We've already soaked it for the brothers." He smiled helplessly: "Actually, I'm with him almost every day. If he hooks up with that girl, I can't help it. I know, unless they are playing. There are indeed many girls in Waida who can play, but if it is really like this, they will also choose handsome guys, then it's our frogs' turn."
According to the photos provided by the police station, Bai Yao did not look very good. However, neither, Chen Shen did not see that he had an intimate relationship with that girl on weekdays, so who was he dating
Just when I was puzzled, a girl suddenly passed by outside the bedroom door. It's already past ten o'clock in the evening, how can there still be girls in the boys' dormitory? And I also think she's a little familiar, as if I've seen her there. Chen Shen seemed to see my doubts and said to me, "She is a famous bus from the foreign language department, and she often spends the night in the boys' dormitory."
bus? Could it be that she was dating Bai Yao? However, I should be seeing her for the first time, why do I think she is a little familiar
