Professor Liang held an emergency press conference on the case, and all the police and joint defense team members in the town were summoned. Professor Liang said to everyone: "The murder scene must be in the town. This judgment should be correct. The town is not big, and we are solving the case."
Sooner or later. The next work will be more arduous. First of all, the mayor should inform all residents not to wear red skirts or clothes in the near future. Although doing so will alert the murderer, as police officers, in addition to solving the case, we should also work hard
To prevent another tragedy from happening again.”
Bao Zhan said: "There are many doubts about this case, waiting for us to sort them out one by one and conduct in-depth investigation."
Professor Liang said: "Our special case team has sorted out ten doubts. If these ten questions are solved, the truth will come to light."
Hua Long said: "Please keep it secret. If someone leaks the details of the case, I will arrest him as soon as possible."
Su Mei said: "Who the murderer is will soon come to light, and those who catch the murderer will receive commendations and rewards from their superiors."
The special case team compiled a total of ten doubts about the case.
1. Three girls are missing. It can be confirmed that Huanyu was killed. Are the other two girls dead?
Second, the three red skirts found in the river all had blood stains on them. Except for Huan Yu, do the blood stains on the other two skirts match the blood types of Murphy and Zhao Xianxian?
Third, Zhao Xianxian disappeared three years ago. This matter has been confirmed in the local police report records. The unsolved case has not been solved. So, is the Zhao Xianxian who appears now someone else pretending to be someone else, or is it the real Zhao Xianxian who disappeared three years ago?
Return to the old place?
Fourth, Murphy and Zhao Xianxian disappeared at the same time. If the murderer was one person, how could he control and kidnap two girls on the street?
Fifth, the mouse ate Huanyu. It takes many mice to eat one person. Where did so many mice come from?
6. Where is the first murder scene?
7. The suspects that have emerged so far include a long-haired painter, a veterinarian, a middle-aged wretched uncle, a blind old man and his grandson. There are also some potential suspects waiting for further investigation, such as Huanyu's stepfather, Zhao Xianxian's parents, who
The biggest suspicion of murder?
8. The murderer may have used some kind of drug, or there may be a cage or box. How did the murderer control the victim?
9. Where does Zhao Xianxian live? Where did she live when she came to the town to study painting three years ago? Where does Zhao Xianxian live now?
10. The murderer put Huanyu’s bones into a jar. What significance does the jar have to the murderer?
Professor Liang assigned the work, and the mayor and joint defense team members immediately took action.
The mayor led people to search for the first murder scene. There were only so many residents in the town, and the murder scene might be hidden in a certain house. Professor Liang told the mayor that the investigation work must be meticulous and no one would be missed.
, No one was left behind, focusing on attics, basements, cellars, sewers and other hidden places. The mayor applied for a search warrant and conducted a carpet search on the veterinarian's house and the blind old man's house.
There were many animal carcasses buried in the veterinarian's yard. The veterinarian claimed that these animals had died of illness. If thrown outside, they might cause diseases and pollute the environment, so he buried the animal carcasses deeply under the trees in his yard.
The blind old man's home is dilapidated. The old man relies on government relief to live. His grandson also dropped out of school early and usually works in a pottery making shop in the town. His job is to dredge mud by the river to make pottery.
That pottery shop and painting studio
On the same street, not far from the cross-stitch shop. Despite their difficult life, the grandfather and grandson have taken in many stray cats over the years. A few days before Zhao Xianxian disappeared, she and Murphy took an injured kitten
The cat came to the blind old man's home.
The mayor saw in the household registration book that the grandson of the blind old man was twenty years old. Perhaps due to years of malnutrition, this weak and melancholy boy looked like a minor.
The mayor and the joint defense team also visited nearby neighbors. One of the neighbors hesitated and hesitated to speak.
The mayor said: "This is a huge case. People from the central government are here. If you don't report it, think about the consequences."
The neighbor was a little scared and mentioned one thing. On the night when Murphy and Zhao Xianxian disappeared, the neighbor heard a blind old man playing the erhu, playing a tune he had never heard before. Halfway through the tune, the neighbor
A shrill scream was heard, the music paused for a while, and then started again. The neighbor could not tell whether the scream came from the veterinarian's house or the blind old man's house.
The mayor reported this clue to the special case team, who decided to conduct a comprehensive investigation on the blind old man and the veterinarian, including their relatives, and focus on the investigation.
The special case team found Zhao Xianxian's residence in the case file three years ago. The case file also recorded that Zhao Xianxian had undergone hymen repair surgery at that time. From the blood type comparison, it also matched the blood type on a skirt found in the river.
This led the special case team to believe that Zhao Xianxian, who had been missing for three years, had returned to her old place and returned to the town where she disappeared to study painting.
The reason for this is puzzling.
The case file records that Zhao Xianxian lived in a courtyard near the studio three years ago, in the attic of a house. There was an antique big bed in the building, as well as the windows of the wooden pavilion. The people living in the courtyard below the attic were all
A student studying painting and singing. Coincidentally, the long-haired painter in the studio currently lives in the attic where Zhao Xianxian lived.
The long-haired painter lives in seclusion and has no other hobbies except painting. On days when there are no classes, he will stay in the attic all day and close himself up. No one knows what he is doing.
Bao Zhan and Hua Long conducted a surprise inspection of the attic. Most of the room was filled with shabby wooden furniture, and even the walls were made of wood. The light in the attic was dark, and the corners were covered with cobwebs. Hua Long found a nest of mice behind the wardrobe.
, many of the costumes in the kitchen were bitten, and Bao Zhan found a sentence on the wall. This sentence was clearly carved on the wooden wall with some kind of sharp tool:
This time, if you leave me, you will never leave me again.
Bao Zhan took photos to collect evidence, and then asked coldly: "Who wrote this sentence?"
The long-haired painter replied calmly: "How should I know?"
Bao Zhan said: "Do your students like you? Do they have a crush on you? Do you like your students?"
The long-haired painter said: "Little girls all like me and admire me, but there has never been a teacher-student relationship."
Bao Zhan asked: "Where does your student Zhao Xianxian live?"
Long-haired painter: "Downstairs is the student dormitory, and Zhao Xianxian lives downstairs."
Bao Zhan asked: "I mean, do you know where Zhao Xianxian lived three years ago?"
Long-haired painter: "How do I know what happened three years ago? Are there two Zhao Xianxians? I only came to this town last year."
Bao Zhan said: "You lied!"
Long-haired painter: "Okay, I was there three years ago, but
, I didn’t live here at that time, I was living with someone.”
Bao Zhan said: "Who?"
Long-haired painter: "An actor."
The long-haired painter had no impression of Zhao Xianxian three years ago. In order to clear up his suspicions, he confessed a private matter. Three years ago, he lived with someone else. That person was the woman who sang in the teahouse, that is,
The middle-aged wretched uncle was stalking the woman on the street. What people didn’t know was that, in fact, the actor was a man. He had been pretending to be a woman and living in this small town. The actor and the painter had been living together for three years. The painter wanted to
This unfaithful relationship ended, so the two separated.
Bao Zhan fell into thinking about the sentence on the wall. Later, after handwriting identification, it was found that this sentence was written by Zhao Xianxian a few days ago. Zhao Xianxian's paintings also attracted the attention of the special case team. Among those paintings
, in addition to landscapes and still lifes, she only painted two people: one is herself, holding a jar, standing by the river; the other is a long-haired painter smoking, and a sketch with his head bowed in thought.
Zhao Xianxian's landscape and still life paintings also include some sketches and sketches of small town buildings, including the home of a blind old man and the yard of a veterinarian's house.
The special case team summoned the actor and was interrogated by Professor Liang and Su Mei.
The actor wears women's clothes, has shawl hair, has a faint smell of perfume, is also rouged, has red lips and white teeth, and is no different from a woman in appearance or voice. Some gay women will deliberately dress themselves up.
Men look exactly like men in appearance, and some men dress up as women and look very much like them, so no one can tell. However, some "transvestites" are not homosexuals, but just transvestites.
Su Mei: "I would like to ask, should we regard you as a man or a woman?"
Actor: "Woman."
Professor Liang said: "We have already investigated and the ID card you are using now is fake. We know your past identity."
Actor: "Oh, this is my personal freedom."
Su Mei: "Do you like being a woman? I noticed that you have an Adam's apple."
Actor: "I am a woman, psychologically I have always been."
Professor Liang: “Do you usually go to the men’s or women’s restroom?”
Actor: "Women's room."
Professor Liang: "It is unethical to do this. Although you look like a woman and are very beautiful, your physical characteristics are that of a man."
Actor: "I didn't hurt anyone except myself."
Professor Liang: "Do you love that painter very much?"
Actor: "Well, I'm willing to kill for him."
Su Mei said: "At 8pm on July 1st and 8pm on July 15th, where were you?"
Operator: "I sing in the teahouse."
Professor Liang: "Do you know Zhao Xianxian? Zhao Xianxian who disappeared three years ago, and Zhao Xianxian who disappeared a few days ago."
Operator: "We know her. She studied opera with me three years ago. I like singing. Do you want me to sing a piece for you?"
Professor Liang said: "Okay."
The actor looked out the window of the interrogation room and sang infatuatedly, with a beautiful tone and a lingering melodious tone - it turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming everywhere, but they are all abandoned to ruins like this. What a good time, beautiful scenery, who can enjoy the pleasure...
After the interrogation, Professor Liang summoned the members of the special case team and said, "I know who the murderer is!"
