Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Murder with Unknown Motive

Huang Zhi died. Generally speaking, no matter how charming they were in life, it is difficult to be truly lifelike if they are left untreated after death, especially those who die unexpectedly, which are usually very scary. Huang Zhi's eyes widened, the muscles in his cheeks twisted, his mouth was open, half of his stiff tongue stuck out from his white teeth, and his black hair was loose.She was strangled or strangled, people who suffocate are incontinent, which is why I smelled it. The nylon rope that bound her hands and feet was very strong, even though she struggled hard before she died, it was of no avail, leaving only bloodstains on her wrists and arms, which had clotted.

Her legs were tightly tied to the legs of the wooden chair, and her hands were cut behind the back of the chair, which made it difficult for her to exert strength when struggling.Even a weak woman can burst out with astonishing strength at the moment of life and death, but the small nylon rope cut off the last bit of vitality.There wasn't even an obvious sign of a struggle in the room, and I thought she was probably knocked out, tied to a chair, and strangled to death. On the floor beside the bed, there is a rag doll, grinning.This is the kind of doll I saw at her home in Datang Village. It seems that she takes it with her wherever she goes.

The fat aunt let out an astonishing scream when she saw Huang Zhi's death. It is absolutely reasonable that soprano singers have huge bodies. . First the patrol police, and then a large number of criminal police. He Xi also arrived as a forensic doctor. I was being interrogated by the police. Her eyes stopped on my face for half a second. Maybe this was a greeting, and then went to work on her own . I was questioned by a middle-aged police officer who wasn't very friendly.Now the criminal investigation team of the police station is divided into investigation teams, and the team leader is called the detective. This title is very westernized, which reminds people of an American drama "Detective Hunter", which was very popular in China in the 1980s.This police officer is the Inspector.

"Name, occupation, when was the deceased found?" He asked sternly, and there was a young policeman standing beside me, trying to control me. I was much calmer in the face of the dead than the fat aunt, which probably made the inspector a little suspicious. I answered them one by one, and the inspector looked at me even sharper. "Are you a reporter? Why are you here, why did you break into the door?" This is a long story, from the paper baby to the tail boy, the cause and effect have to be sorted out from the beginning, and it cannot be finished in a few words. There were so many things to say, and I didn't answer for a while.In the eyes of the inspector, he sneered and said to the young policeman, "This man is suspected, take him back to the police first."

"Yes." The police officer next to him responded, and shook out the pair of handcuffs with a clatter. "Hey, wait, I just have to say a lot, so I'm a little slow to answer." "I don't have the time to listen now, let's talk slowly in the bureau." The inspector didn't buy it at all. With two clicks, I was caught firmly, and the little policeman's movements were very violent, twisting my wrist so painfully. "I'm suspected? Then why should I report it?" I said angrily. "Reporting the crime by yourself doesn't mean anything." He Xi walked out of the room. After finishing the work on the scene, she waited for the corpse to be transported back for autopsy.Seeing the situation here, he actually answered such a sentence.

"Hey, why do you say that?" I was anxious. "This person has cooperated with the Special Affairs Department of the Municipal Bureau a few times, so he probably wouldn't do such a non-technical thing." He Xi said to the inspector, glanced at me, twitched the corner of his mouth, turned and left. "Special Affairs Department?" The inspector read it lightly, and his eyes turned from sharp to suspicious. "I knew the deceased, but after a complicated process, I'll briefly explain it." I took the opportunity to briefly explain it. Halfway through my speech, the inspector had signaled the little policeman to uncuff me.

"That's right." The inspector nodded, "Did you move anything at the scene?" "I kicked on the door, walked in and tried Huang Zhi's breath, and then backed out to call the police." "I was a little reckless just now, I'm sorry." The inspector smiled at me and said, "But I still need you to go to the police station to make a record and repeat what you just said in detail." "Let's go, let's go." Huang Zhi's body was put into a body bag, and two policemen carried it past me. I stared at the black body bag, wondering.

Who killed Huang Zhi, and why did she kill her? For money, what kind of money does the person who lives in this small hotel have?For color, Huang Zhi was attractive, but she was fully dressed when she died. She was tied to a chair and strangled to death. It didn't look like someone killed her on a whim.Who would carry a nylon rope with him? It was clearly a premeditated killing. In the room, the on-site forensic personnel were still carefully searching for traces left by the murderer. After a quick glance, I thought they had at least found suspicious footprints and hair. "The reporter, why don't we go get the letters you mentioned earlier, and then go back to the bureau together?" asked the policeman who had handcuffed me just now.

"OK." When I went downstairs, I saw the inspector questioning the fat lady.The fat aunt's face was covered with sweat, the fat on her body trembled slightly, her voice was high-pitched and thin, and she was still in panic. "Officer, this has nothing to do with me, I don't know anything." The fat lady cried sadly. "The person lives with you, and now he is dead. You say you don't know anything? How many waiters are there in this corridor, where are the people?" When the inspector questioned her, his tone was harsher than when he was talking to me just now.

"I don't care much about the tenants. There are few people here, and they all clean after checking out. There was originally a person on duty on each floor, but recently someone asked for leave to go back to his hometown, and the manpower is a bit tight." "What about the surveillance video?" "No...no, oh no, it's broken." "This is missing and that is missing, how did you pass the inspection here? I don't think you need to drive any further." "Oh, oh, oh!" I turned around and went down the stairs, and I could still hear the fat lady's voice. wail.

On the way back to the agency, I bought some fried rice and ate it while walking.I was hungry an hour ago, but now I have no appetite at all. I only ate half of it, and the little policeman took the rest away, and he didn't even have dinner. "It turns out that you know people from the Special Affairs Department. There is a fat man named Zhen Daren in the team. He has been in our team for a while. Oh, you know him. He is really a treasure." The policeman told the Special Affairs Department The topic was very interesting, and I responded to it one after another. In fact, I couldn't arouse much interest in chatting. Back at the newspaper office, I searched through the desks and lockers, but still missed a few letters.It can't be my fault, how can you ask me to keep a letter from a mental patient carefully? Before Liu Tang left, he saw me go and come back, followed by a policeman, and asked, "What's the matter? What are you looking for?" "The mental patient who came to see me yesterday is dead. Look for the letter she wrote to me." Liu Tang was startled, and opened the drawer to find an envelope: "I have an envelope here, which was circulated to me last time, and I forgot to return it to you. That, she was killed?" I took the letter and nodded, "I'll tell you later." Liu Tang jumped up from his seat, grabbed his bag and said excitedly: "Big news, big news, where is it, tell me!" I told him the location, and Liu Tang rushed out excitedly. This reckless guy, I watched his back disappear at the door, and then turned off the phone. When Liu Tang realized that I was the first person to discover the deceased, he would definitely call, but I was not in the mood to accept his interview. After waiting at the police station for a long time, the inspector came to take the record for me, but his attitude was much better. I think he probably learned more background information about me.In the past few years, I have dealt with the police quite a lot. The transcript was made for two hours.The inspector asked very detailed questions, and he was also surprised when he mentioned the paper baby.And when he heard that I used Wei Xingnan to find the hotel where Huang Zhi lived, he stopped writing and looked up at me, probably thinking that it was not easy for me to come up with this method. "How do you know that she came to you because of her daughter's disappearance?" "Guess, because there is no other relationship between me and her." "In her letter to you, she mentioned that she has been reading the news you wrote carefully. If you recall the news you wrote recently, is there any one that might attract her to come to you?" I didn't think about it. After thinking about it for a long time, I shook my head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know. I can't guess her logic. She's not a normal person." "Has she any enemies?" asked the Inspector. "I don't know, the people in their village should understand." Speaking of this, I thought of something, and said hesitantly, "Actually... as far as I know, Huang Zhi doesn't have a good relationship with the people in her village." The inspector's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked what happened, and I told the story of the "bad luck" that the people of Datang Village had towards Huang Zhi.The inspector thought for a while, then shook his head slightly. "It shouldn't be enough." He said, "Okay, thank you sir, let's stop here. If there is anything I need to know more about, I will call you again." "Oh, may I ask, is there a clue now?" The inspector hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth to reveal something to me: "Huang Zhi died about this morning. This was a murder case, but the murderer was not too sophisticated, and he left some traces. I think we I should be able to catch him. But the motive for the murder is still unclear, I wanted to see if I could get some inspiration from you, but..." He shrugged and didn't continue. When I walked out of the police station, I turned on my phone and called He Xi. I thought she might not be off work yet. "I'm just outside the police station, do you want to come out for supper?" I asked. "No, I'm busy." Her faint answer came from the phone. "Why does your voice sound so weak?" "I told you, I'm busy, and I'm holding the phone on my shoulder." He Xi said. "Are you doing an autopsy?" I thought of the reason why she didn't have her hands free. "It's cut in half, and I'll hang up if it's okay." "Wait, is that the dead person I found?" "nonsense." "Have you tested her blood type?" I didn't hear much excitement from her voice, it shouldn't be. "I did the simplest test, type O blood, what?" "I know her blood type. You can do it again in detail. Let me tell you that her blood type is U-Sembey." "What?" The voice suddenly became louder. "U-Sambey type, I interviewed her, I know." "Oh, I love you so much." He Xi said something I hadn't seen for a long time, but then there was a beeping busy tone, and she hung up the phone. I froze for a moment, then called her again. "Is there anything else?" Her tone suddenly became much more impatient than before, hell, is this the way she loves me? "Do you still remember the paper baby I told you about? She is the mother." "Oh ha!" He Xi exclaimed.I think she must be blushing with excitement, the medical madman. "It's amazing, it's amazing!" she said in a series of praises on the phone, but did not know who to dedicate it to. "I remember you said that she has no other relatives in her family?" He Xi suddenly asked me a strange question. "Yes, why are you asking this? Uh, wait!" I suddenly had a bad feeling, "You don't mean to do something to her body, do you?" "If you don't have relatives, then I can do whatever I want. This baby can spend more time with me." He Xi did not deny her plan at all, "I am a forensic doctor, and this is also my legitimate right. Don't worry, no matter how you cut her I'll put it back on for her." "Alas, alas!" I can only sigh, how did the woman I like become like this, do I really want to pursue her? "By the way, why did you say that earlier? Reporting the crime by yourself doesn't mean anything. I was taken aback. At that time, the detective was going to regard me as a murderer." I asked depressedly. "Reporting the case by yourself really doesn't mean anything. There has been some new progress in the South Korean case." "What's new? Are you talking about the French engineer who reported himself? What happened to him?" "It's the two dead babies. The results of the last DNA test came out. At first everyone thought they were twins, and they looked alike. After all, they had been frozen for too long. The samples from the first DNA test and the second The second test did not come from the same dead body of the baby. The actual situation is that one of the two dead babies was indeed born to the French couple who took the initiative to report the crime, while the other baby with U-Sembey blood type was No. Now the case has been transferred to the French police, and Courjou has been deported back to France." "Ah, but if he really did it himself, why did he report it?" I asked strangely. "Leave that to the French police." After finishing the call with He Xi, I found out that Liu Tang sent me a lot of short messages while my phone was off.I didn't even look at it, I just turned off the phone again. When I got home, I fell asleep and had no dreams all night.When I went to the newspaper office the next day, Liu Tang rushed over and asked viciously, "Why didn't you tell me that you were the first person to arrive at the scene?" "You didn't ask again." "Then why did you turn off the phone yesterday?" Liu Tang's eyes were about to fall off, and I considered whether to catch him with a cup. "The police asked me to turn off my phone." "Why would the police make such a request?" "Ask the police. Or you'll know the next time you're brought back to the police station in this situation." "Ahhh..." Liu Tang ghosted for a long time, and then asked, "How long did you take the transcript yesterday? I called you before the final typesetting at twelve o'clock, and the phone was still turned off." That's because you made a bad call and didn't insist on calling me three times a minute. Of course I couldn't say that, I stared back in a very lonely way: "I forgot to turn on the phone, what's the matter?" He groaned for a long time, choked out the sentence "I have served YOU", and sat back resentfully. But anyway, it was an exclusive report, and Liu Tang got a small bonus for it.He wanted me to eat the money, but I said forget it.It makes me feel uncomfortable to eat with this money. In the next two days, I pulled out all the press release research I had written in recent months from the library, wanting to see which one might have something to do with Huang Zhi; I gave the original to the police, and I kept a copy) I read it over and over again, but the conclusion is still the same——except that my daughter came to Shanghai to ask me for help because her daughter disappeared, it seems that she can’t find any other reasons for her coming to Shanghai. Could it be that her killing was related to her search for her daughter?Could it be that she was killed because she found clues about her daughter's disappearance and threatened the interests of some people? I didn't tell the inspector about this idea. If I might think of it, he must also think of it.As a friend of the deceased, I asked him to tell me if there was a breakthrough in the case, and he agreed. He Xi didn't hear from her for several days, so she called her cell phone and turned it off.This reminds me of the situation when Liu Tang called me.There is no doubt that she must have fanatically thrown herself into the work of cutting people. The department had a dinner that night, and the director of the department, Zong Er, said that my complexion has not been very good these days, and I seem to be a little tired. "I haven't seen any big news about you these days, young man, your body is your capital." When the old man spoke, all the little ghosts around laughed, and even Zong Er showed a wicked smile. I drank the beer in my glass with a wry smile. My alcohol capacity is already very poor, and I was still groggy when I got home, as if I felt exhausted all of a sudden like a mountain, so I took a hasty shower and lay down on the bed.But the alcohol didn't make me fall asleep quickly. For a while, I saw Huang Zhi's death, and for a while, I saw the paper baby in the doctor's hand. Take a cold shower. The chaotic picture in my mind changed until later, and I actually thought of the missing Zhou Xianxian.The little girl stood in a corner without sunlight, didn't speak, just stared at me coldly. I woke up suddenly. It was the phone that woke me up.The room was dark, and I opened my eyes, not knowing what time it was. The cell phone rang persistently for a long time, then stopped for a while, and the landline in my house rang again. My eyes have adapted to the darkness, and the starlight slowly brightens.He turned his head and looked at the alarm clock, it seemed to be three o'clock in the morning. Who will be in a hurry to find me at this time? I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, reached out and touched the bedside table a few times, found the phone receiver and picked it up.
