Su Mei: It’s fine now. I just won’t wear strapless and off-the-shoulder skirts from now on.
Bai Jingyu: As a police officer, you should pay attention to your appearance. By the way, the special case team is going to a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, Wutang Town. Xiaomei, in that town, remember, you don't wear a red skirt.
Professor Liang: What big case happened in Wutang Town?
Bao Zhan said: What happened to the red skirt?
Bai Jingyu: Within a month, three girls in the town disappeared, all wearing red skirts.
Hua Long looked at the case file and said: Damn it, the person who reported the last disappearance case turned out to be...
Bai Jingyu: Yes, it is a bit unbelievable to say that the person who reported the crime was not a human, but a big rat.
This riverside town in the south of the Yangtze River is rich in silk. It is usually quiet and peaceful, with weeping willow trees. In every bluestone alley there is a woman wearing a cheongsam and holding an oil-paper umbrella. The houses and buildings on the roadside all exude a classical atmosphere. Life in the town is very leisurely.
There are no vehicles, and even bicycles are rare. Local residents travel by boat.
The mayor of Wutang Town introduced the case to the special case team at the security station. On the morning of July 16, 2008, several members of the security joint defense team were listening to an opera in a teahouse. The woman singing the opera was wearing a red traditional dress and her singing voice was pure, soft and euphemistic.
It was beautiful and full of Jiangnan water town customs. The woman on the stage was singing but suddenly stopped and looked at the door in horror. Several joint defense team members turned their heads to see a mouse swaggering into the teahouse.
This is a very big mouse, with a belly as big as a pot and a long tail. It is more than twice the size of an ordinary mouse.
What's weird is that this big mouse is red and wet, as if it just got out of the paint bucket.
A bold joint defense team member picked up a straw hat and approached quietly. The big rat seemed to have eaten too much, and its belly was round. It was unable to escape. The joint defense team member caught it with a straw hat. Everyone gathered around to see an experienced joint defense team member.
Pointing at the mouse, he said:
This is blood, the mouse is covered in blood!
The joint defense team members found an unrecognizable red dress by the river outside the teahouse. They used a bamboo pole to pick up the bloody skirt. You could see several holes on it and many signs of being chewed. Joint defense team members
The team members started searching along the river. There were some fishing nets in the river. On the fishing nets, they found two more red skirts.
The three skirts all had blood stains, and the two red skirts were of the same style.
After investigation, the mayor and the security station confirmed that three girls were missing in the town, and they were all wearing red skirts when they disappeared.
Su Mei: Have you done any blood stain identification? Is the blood type on the mouse consistent with the blood type on the red dress?
Bao Zhan: What did the mice eat in their abdomens, and what were the autopsy results?
The mayor said: I sent it to the city for evaluation. This is a small town and there is no forensic doctor. If you take a boat, the results will be available tomorrow at the earliest.
Professor Liang said: In this case, it is possible that the big rat ate the little girl. Let’s talk about the three missing girls.
The mayor told the special case team that on July 1, a girl named Huanyu left a cross-stitch shop in the town at about 8 o'clock in the evening. Since then, no one has seen her again. On July 15, two
Two girls studying painting left the gallery, one named Mo Fei and the other named Zhao Xianxian. They also disappeared mysteriously after leaving around 8 pm. On the morning of the 16th, the joint defense team members found a big rat covered in blood and a river
The skirts salvaged from the house. Three girls disappeared. No one was found alive or dead. According to the investigation, they found one thing in common: all three girls were wearing red skirts!
Bao Zhan looked at the map of Wutang Town and said, three girls disappeared on the same street!
Professor Liang said: By the end of the month, it is estimated that another girl wearing a red dress will disappear and be killed.
The mayor said: How did you know?
Professor Liang said: Huanyu disappeared on the 1st, and Mo Fei and Zhao Xianxian disappeared on the 15th. The interval was half a month, and they were both missing at eight o'clock in the evening. The murderer has a certain pattern, and it is likely that he will be there again in another 15 days.
At the end of the month, another crime was committed against the girl in the red dress!
The town has insufficient police force. There is only one security station chief, a few police officers, and some joint defense team members. Professor Liang called them together and made a specific division of labor.
Su Mei and the mayor are responsible for visiting the families of the missing girls, focusing on investigating suspicious persons, especially whether there were any abnormalities in the days before the disappearance.
Bao Zhan and the chief of the security station re-organized the cross-stitch shop and gallery studio, and drew up a detailed distribution map of the street where the three girls disappeared and the surrounding rivers and alleys.
Hualong and the joint defense team members were responsible for catching rats and carefully searched the garbage cans and sewers near the teahouse to see if there were any big rats stained with blood.
The mayor said: We have already done these tasks and found no clues to solve the case.
Professor Liang said: Then do it again until you find clues to solve the case.
Su Mei and the mayor re-interrogated Huanyu's parents. Huanyu was only 16 years old and in the first year of junior high school. After her parents divorced, she remarried to Wutang Town with her mother. Her stepfather was very bad to her and often beat and scolded her. Her classmates and
Her neighbor described her as an introverted, sensitive, and low-self-esteem little girl. On her birthday, her mother gave her a red dress. She was very happy, but her stepfather quarreled with her mother because of this, and Huanyu ran away from home sadly. Because of life
Due to financial constraints, she also helped her mother do embroidery. On the night of her birthday, she took the embroidery to a shop on the street in tears and disappeared.
Su Mei and the mayor went to Murphy's house again. Murphy's mother was an intellectual woman with an extraordinary conversation, but she was particularly anxious because of her daughter's disappearance and kept crying. The mayor had been here once before and couldn't tell her why.
Mastered some of the most basic information. Murphy has been versatile since she was a child. She knows everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her mother is good at teaching her children. During the summer vacation, she sent her to a studio in the town to learn painting, but she did not go home on weekends. The joint defense team discovered that
After the bloody dress, students in the studio identified it as the dress Murphy was wearing when he disappeared. The security station chief also asked Murphy's mother to identify it. Her mother looked at the dress carefully and then fainted...
Su Mei deliberately dismissed the mayor and asked Murphy's mother: I have some serious questions and I hope you can cooperate.
Murphy's mother wiped her tears and nodded.
Su Mei asked: Does your daughter, Murphy, have a boyfriend? Is she still a virgin?
Murphy's mother thought for a while and said: My Fei'er is very good and many male classmates like her. However, she is only seventeen years old. My tutor is very strict and I am against early love. My lover is doing business in other places, so we are the only ones.
Mother and daughter together.
Su Mei said: Then think carefully, have you found anything unusual?
Murphy's mother said: I remembered something!
One night before the incident, the air conditioner in Murphy's room was always on. Worried about catching a cold, her mother got up and went to her daughter's room to turn off the air conditioner. Her mother heard whispers coming from her daughter's room and listened for a while.
, thinking that her daughter was talking in her sleep, she knocked on the door and came in. Her daughter was not asleep. She sat up suddenly and turned pale with fright at her mother's sudden intrusion. Her mother asked her daughter if she had another nightmare. Her daughter
She didn't answer, but was trembling with fear, perhaps because she didn't dare to speak due to some kind of fear. The window in the room was open, and the mother became suspicious. The daughter put her finger on her lips and made a shushing gesture. The mother was surprised.
, the daughter's finger on her lips moved away and pointed to the quilt. She was sitting on the bed, with the quilt covering her lower body. The quilt was bulging, and she didn't know what was inside.
Murphy's mother wanted to step forward and lift the quilt, but suddenly a person jumped out of the quilt, put the quilt over Murphy's mother's head, and jumped out of the window to escape. Most of the windows in Wutang Town are facing the water, and there was only a splash.
The man fell into the water and swam away.
Murphy was so frightened that he cried and hugged his mother.
Murphy told her mother that when she was asleep, she vaguely felt that the window was opened. She turned over and continued to sleep. The air conditioner was on in the room. She had the habit of sleeping under the quilt with the air conditioner turned on. Murphy felt vaguely
There was an extra person in the bed. The person was lying on his side next to her. Murphy opened her eyes and saw a pair of eyes looking at her. She couldn't see the person's face in the darkness. Murphy wanted to shout, then
Someone covered her mouth and put a sharp screwdriver against her underwear - the vaginal area. When Murphy's mother came in, her daughter pretended to be calm. At that moment, there was a gangster hiding under the quilt.
.
A long time after the incident, both mother and son were in shock. They thought there had been a burglar, so they didn't report the crime because they didn't lose any property. The next day, the mother found someone to install guardrails on the windows and cut down the house.
A tree by the wall.
The special case team analyzed the clues provided by Murphy's mother. They believed that this was a case of burglary or attempted rape. It should have nothing to do with the disappearance of the three girls. The gangster was holding a screwdriver, and his purpose should be
It was theft, not murder.
Bao Zhan conducted a detailed investigation into the studio training class. The studio was run by a well-known painter with long hair and a very artistic temperament. According to the long-haired painter, the summer vacation training class had just been held for a week.
, the students came from several nearby cities. Zhao Xianxian’s parents lived abroad all year round, so she came to this town alone to sign up to learn painting. She had a good relationship with Murphy, and both girls were wearing the same clothes. They disappeared.
On that day, the two girls also wore the same red dress.
Hualong and the joint defense team did not catch the big rat, but they salvaged a jar from the river where the bloody skirt was found.
The mouth of the jar was wrapped in several layers of plastic bags and tied tightly with wires. The jar was so heavy that I didn't know what was inside.
A joint defense team member said: This kind of jar is used to hold wine, and there may be wine inside.
Another joint defense team member said: My grandma also used this kind of jar to pickle duck eggs. There wouldn't be duck eggs in it, right?
The jar was sealed very well. After the special case team opened it, everyone was shocked and in disbelief. The joint defense team members were very curious and asked Hualong privately what was inside. Hualong said, brother, it's not wine.
Not salted duck eggs either.
Zone defenseman: What the hell is that?
Hualong: There is a person in the jar!
Joint defense team member: How is that possible? The mouth of the jar is so small that even a person’s head cannot fit inside.
Hua Long: When I opened the jar, I did see a human head. As for how the head was stuffed in, our special case team is also studying it.
