Chapter 182 Weird! Weird! Weird!
January 8th.
Weather: Sunny.
Temperature: four degrees Celsius.
To the west of Jiangsan City, in Donghua Community.
At this time, a blue shed was erected outside Unit A. The shed was covered with thick cold-proof and warm things like quilts on all sides to prevent wind.
"Have you eaten?"
Xu Hao came here bored, opened it, looked at a few familiar faces under a shed, and took out a plastic bag of buns.
The steamed buns are still steaming, filled with pork and green onions, exuding an alluring aroma.
“Not in the mood to eat.”
When he arrived at the scene, Li Jianye, who was at the table, had his brows twisted into knots and didn't even raise his head.
"Where are you two?"
Xu Hao looked at Wang Chao and Zhang Min aside.
The place where Zhang Min lives is Donghua Community.
However, the community was already filled with countless police officers at this time.
The police may visit other units, collect surveillance from the surrounding areas, or search for clues.
But there is no doubt that even at 7:30 in the morning, the police are still busy.
"I"
Zhang Min's face was pale and bloodless. He was sitting on a chair wrapped in a blanket and heard Xu Hao's voice.
The pair of distracted eyes moved, looked at the other person, and then opened their lips.
"I'm not hungry."
Xu Hao nodded and looked at Wang Chao aside.
"Come two?"
"I want three!"
Wang Chao said.
Xu Hao stuffed the buns directly.
Wang Chao took it, thought about it, and looked at Zhang Min, "My eldest niece, you really don't want to eat it?"
Zhang Min was silent and then shook his head.
She said nothing, as if one of her three souls and seven souls had been lost.
"It's harmful. Just get used to it. I've told you that Jiangsan City's feng shui is not very good. This is normal."
Wang Chao casually threw a bun into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it before he spoke.
Zhang Min was silent, subconsciously recalling the scene last night in his mind.
There is a person hidden in the air conditioner
There's a man hiding inside!
The other party's white eyes looked at her below through the narrow slit.
Zhang Min almost fainted on the spot.
That feeling, the thrill, once made her heart beat past the critical point, but the suffocation suppressed her and made it impossible for her to breathe.
His whole brain was as if it had been wiped out by a nuclear bomb, suddenly turning pale and without any logical thinking.
Until Wang Chao kicked the door open.
After looking around, he slowly walked out of the room with Zhang Min in his arms.
Well, he was very calm, and his heartbeat and blood pressure were normal. Zhang Min was pressed against his chest at that time. It was this calmness that gave her a sense of security and prevented her from passing out.
Think of this.
Zhang Min couldn't hold it back, she raised her head and looked at Wang Chao in confusion.
"Aren't you scared?"
Wang Chao, who was eating buns normally, was confused and looked at Zhang Min, who was covered with a blanket and holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.
There was confusion on his face.
"What's not to be afraid of?"
"Dead man, you saw a dead man last night, weren't you scared!?"
Zhang Min felt frightened when he thought about it, lowered his head, curled up slightly, and whispered.
"Oh."
Wang Chao nodded, "I thought something happened."
"What am I afraid of about dead people?"
Zhang Min:? ? ?
"Aren't you afraid?"
"He is dead and is no different from a piece of meat. I am still alive and can do whatever I want. Why should I be the one to be afraid of?"
Wang Chao suddenly asked a rhetorical question.
"Even if he is afraid, it should be because the dead person is afraid that I will do something to him."
The words fell.
Li Jianye didn't know what Zhang Min was feeling, but he knew that his mind was stuck, so he couldn't help it and looked up at Wang Chao blankly.
So did several policemen around.
"But...but he's dead." Zhang Min was a little hesitant. She felt something was not right.
"What if he dies? Do I have to be afraid if he dies?"
Wang Chao was very unhappy, "Then I'm still alive!"
"Why don't you ask him if he is afraid of me living?"
Zhang Min:?
Before she could continue speaking, Wang Chao's voice fell again.
"Besides."
"If a qualified entrepreneur gets upset even by looking at a dead body, then there is no need to go to the negotiating table in the future."
Wang Chao took a sip of hot tea with a satisfied look on his face.
"What's wrong? My eldest niece, do you want to take you home?"
Zhang Min paused, then fell silent. After a moment, he shook his head: "No, I'll just change my house."
"Not bad." Wang Chao showed a thumbs up.
At this time, Xu Hao also withdrew his gaze.
Zhang Min's character was stronger than he expected, and he didn't go home to find his father in fear when he saw the corpse.
Yes, after all, she is Zhang Niu's child. The other party has torn apart countless gangsters on the battlefield. There is no reason why the daughter should be ordinary.
Put away your thoughts.
Xu Hao glanced at Li Jianye who was standing aside.
"How's the case going?"
Li Jianye heard the sound and turned back to him, sighing with a helpless expression on his face.
"It's hard to put it into words."
"How difficult is it?" Xu Hao asked, raising his eyebrows.
Li Jianye didn't know how to answer. He was silent for a moment and said:
"Weird."
"Unheard of weirdness!"
"From the body, to the clues, to the scene, everything reveals these two words. This is the first time I have seen such a case in my life."
"I can't explain it clearly. You'll understand once you go to the scene and see it."
"The scene is on the fifth floor. Team leader Zhang Liang, Zhao Gang and Sun Jian are now at the scene cooperating with the investigation. You can find it by going to the fifth floor."
A criminal investigation brigade captain can say this about a case.
Weird?
It’s still something unheard of!
Could it be weirder than the fact that the broken body parts traveled dozens of miles upstream in the river and led the police back to the murderer? ?
‘Ghost knocking on the door’
Xu Hao recalled the name the system gave to this case, and then fell silent.
These three words are very evil.
"Okay, I'll go look for you, you guys get busy first."
With that said, Xu Hao opened the things that blocked the cold wind and walked out of the shed.
He went out and stepped onto the steps.
The police originally wanted to question him about his identity, but when they looked up and saw that it was Xu Hao, he looked very familiar, so they didn't say anything and just let him pass.
The moment you walk into the building.
Xu Hao's steps stagnated slightly, and he sniffed slightly with the tip of his nose.
‘Sniff love! ’
The next second, the extremely messy smell was suddenly pulled into the nasal cavity and hidden in the lung cavity.
The smell is very mottled and can be found by both men and women, old and young, and each smell shows a physical and psychological state.
‘The life of a working community animal is bitter.’
‘The sweet taste of a child’s holiday’
‘Light spiciness’
After distinguishing various smells in succession, Xu Hao finally opened his eyes and continued walking forward.
Unfortunately, there was no questionable taste, but that's to be expected.
Xu Hao decided to go directly to the scene to have a look.
But instead of taking the elevator, he took the stairs to avoid missing any clues.
There were no clues until the fifth floor, 502, in front of the house Zhang Min rented.
At this time, outside the door of Room 502, there were police squatting on the ground, searching for something, and picking up hair with tweezers.
Inside the house, several familiar people appeared.
"Huh? Team Leader Xu?"
Sun Jian's iron tower-like body turned around, paused when he saw Xu Hao, and then his eyes lit up.
"Are you in charge of this case?"
"I'm not responsible. I just came to take a look when I have nothing to do. I just want to make some extra money."
Xu Hao said casually.
Zhang Liang and Zhao Gang turned around, looked at him, nodded, and then turned back again, with seriousness and thinking on their faces.
"How's the case going?"
Xu Hao looked around at the people in the living room, looked at Zhang Liang and asked.
"It's very strange, very strange. This kind of case is not common even in the Special Fifth Bureau!"
Zhao Gang shook his head and said with a click of his tongue.
"The capital police have never heard of it." Sun Jian shook his head and said in a low voice.
"What's going on?"
Xu Hao raised his eyebrows and asked.
The three of them paused, thought for a moment, and found an entry point.
"First come to the bedroom and see the deceased."
Xu Hao nodded and walked into the bedroom.
The bedroom is very simple, nothing complicated, and there is an air conditioner that has been disassembled on the floor.
"Click!"
Sun Jian took action, like building blocks with his hands, and removed the outside of the air conditioner, revealing the skinny body inside.
"The victim's name is Wang Wei, he is 26 years old, 1.72 meters tall and weighs 57 pounds."
"The inside of the air conditioner was hollowed out, and special treatment was done on the outside to make it enough to accommodate him."
"According to the police's guess, he stayed in the air conditioner for at least seven days, and today is the eighth day."
Zhang Liang paused, and then a serious expression appeared on his face.
"Eight days ago, I hid in the air conditioner!"
"And he didn't come out during this period. Likewise, he didn't eat or drink. He was"
"I will starve myself to death."
Hearing this, Xu Hao frowned.
The inside of the air conditioner has been dismantled. As long as it is slightly modified so that the air conditioner can bear the weight, a pile of bones weighing 57 kilograms can be stuffed inside.
But.
Force yourself to starve to death! ?
To be honest, this process is very painful and torturous, especially without drinking water.
The body's biological defense mechanisms will destroy your psychology and then encourage you to eat and drink.
Under normal circumstances, people who starve to death do so without eating. After all, without food, there is no strength. Without strength, no matter how the defense mechanism is activated, it will only be incompetent and furious.
"Is there a third person present at the scene?"
Xu Hao thought for a moment and turned to look at Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang didn't say anything. He handed Xu Hao a small watering can.
Xu Hao paused, stood a little further away, then pulled the watering can and sprayed the air conditioner, the bedroom area, and even the door handles and windows.
No picture is shown.
"There was no trace of blood, and the deceased did not make any form of call, and there were no signs of fighting at the scene. Preliminary estimates indicate that there was no third person present."
Zhang Liang shook his head.
Xu Hao sprayed luminol reaction reagent.
As long as there is any blood left in any place, even if it lasts for three or four years, as long as it is sprayed on, it will show the proper picture.
Of course, if you react once in advance, another processing method is needed.
But the scenes at the scene don’t look like they’ve been processed.
"So, this person."
"It's suicide."
"Suicide?"
Xu Hao frowned. "Yes, it was suicide, but it was not suicide. We suspect that the murderer may have used some method to coerce the other person, leading to his death."
Zhang Liang nodded, and then motioned to several policemen to fish out the deceased.
"Click!!!"
The exterior of the air conditioner was gradually dismantled.
The skull inside that looked like a layer of skin appeared in front of everyone.
Wang Wei's appearance is very scary, and based on the information at the scene, we can also analyze what happened during his lifetime and the time of his death.
"He died three days ago. The temperature was cold. In addition, it was the second day after Zhang Min's death when he rented the house. The smell was not fermented. No one, including her, the landlord and the neighbors knew about it."
"It wasn't discovered until last night."
"Before the discovery, the residents of Building A had always guessed that the other party existed in the rental house, but he was hiding somewhere so he could not be found."
"This is indeed the case, and the reason why the residents can guess it"
As he spoke, Zhang Liang paused and took out a diary from his hand.
"Look at this."
This is Wang Wei's diary, provided by Zhang Min. The things recorded in it are very detailed.
Xu Hao patiently looked through the diary he recorded bit by bit.
After a moment, he frowned.
"That is to say."
"Do you guess that the deceased Wang Wei suffered a certain form of intimidation from the murderer before his death, which then led him to commit suicide?"
"Would you rather hide in the air conditioner and starve to death? If you are so thin, you won't eat or drink until you die, and you won't come out!?"
Zhang Liang nodded.
Indeed.
Despite some logical inconsistencies,.
However, based on the basis of criminal investigation that "there are no ghosts in the world," the ghosts Wang Wei saw must have been caused by human factors.
Xu Hao fell into thinking.
See ghosts.
In fact, many people claim to have seen ghosts and may have encountered some bizarre supernatural events.
But as long as you want to investigate the case, you can't believe this.
Therefore, the ghosts Wang Wei saw must be caused by human factors, but if so
Why can't others see it?
"Three key messages were mentioned in the diary."
"One, the place where the 'ghost' appeared for the first time."
"Two, there are three other people who saw it."
"Three, this ghost may have known the deceased."
Xu Hao squinted his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he extracted three clues.
He looked at Zhang Liang.
"Any clues now?"
"I found it, but it's useless."
Zhang Liang's expression darkened and he looked increasingly serious.
"The police found out the identities of the other three people. They were friends of the deceased Wang Wei. However, they all fell into Wang Wei's state more than ten days ago, and the police were temporarily unable to contact them."
"It is currently unknown whether these three people are alive or dead like Wang Wei."
"However, judging from the latitude of time, the survival rate of the other three people is very high."
These three people are the same as Wang Wei.
They may also be hiding themselves.
If the hidden thoughts are the same as Wang Wei's, then even if you want to search around the other party, you won't be able to find them
After all, who would have thought that a person could be hidden inside a small air conditioner?
Who would have thought that a man who is 1.7 meters tall can starve himself to less than 60 pounds and become a skeleton hiding in the air conditioner! ?
Of course, we now know the information of the three people, so this is not urgent at all.
"Ghosts and the dead may know each other."
Xu Hao suddenly spoke again.
Why can this be seen?
Think first.
If you see a random person on the road, would you think that person is a ghost?
It refers to people who don’t have the consciousness of ghosts and can immediately guess the person when they see them.
Of course not.
But the dead do!
Why?
Why can the other party confirm that it is a so-called 'ghost' after just a second glance?
Is it because of the presence of corpse spots on the face?
To be honest, it's hard to believe. As long as corpse spots are not the kind of old corpses, they won't be obvious if they are a little further away from the human eye.
Judging from the diary, the other party was not only far away, but he was even seen at night.
Furthermore, if the ghost appears in front of the deceased in a standing posture
And why would he know that these were body spots and not bruises?
When people make a choice, they need a lot of information as a basis, especially a choice that they are sure of, and they must accept "positive information".
If the other party can make the choice that this is a ghost and that this is a corpse stain rather than a bruise, there must be information in his mind.
But these days, information between people can only be exchanged at close range!
"Have you investigated the social circle?"
Zhang Liang nodded and had already conducted a detailed investigation on the case in the early morning hours.
"Wang Wei's social circle is limited to three friends."
"But, we have found something now."
With that said, Zhang Liang walked to the sofa outside, picked up something on it, and then walked to Xu Hao.
"This is a property report about Wang Wei."
"There are big problems inside, you can take a look."
Xu Hao nodded, then reached out to take it and looked at it slowly.
This is Donghua Community. Wang Wei has been renting here for almost half a year. The monthly rent for the house is as high as 1,300 yuan, which is far more than the monthly salary of ordinary people.
Therefore, those who rent here are often those who live a better life.
But.
"Half a year ago, Wang Wei's consumption index suddenly shot up. Compared with before, there is simply a difference between two people!"
"But the problem is not here, the problem is"
"Wang Wei has no legal source of income!"
Zhang Liang said in a deep voice.
"Wang Wei, he has no job, he is a gangster, and his three friends are also gangsters. But together with the four of them, six months ago, the consumption index suddenly rose from the same place!"
"There is a problem with his source of funds."
Both legal and gray income require your own work.
That is the so-called job, even if you are doing side jobs and collecting things in the countryside, this is still something that can explain the source of funds.
But Wang Wei didn't.
"Judging from the inexplicable sudden wealth half a year ago, there is a high probability that he has been involved in something."
"Also, the other three people have participated as well, after all, the flow of funds is the same."
"So, I'm speculating for now."
"The four of them may have done some financial things to the murderer six months ago, which led to him coming back and killing him."
Zhang Liang said slowly.
The problem isn't so-called speculation, though.
But
"This so-called 'ghost' can't be seen by others?"
Xu Hao narrowed his eyes and asked.
"That's right, it can't be seen. It only exists in the eyes of four people. They can embody each other's appearance, but people around them can't see it anyway."
Zhang Liang shook his head.
After a pause, he spoke again:
"There is monitoring to prove it."
"There is surveillance in the corridor on the fifth floor. At the same time, the address where this happened for the first time, which is the bar, has multiple witnesses who can prove that the other party did not see what he described that day."
"And the bar's surveillance can also prove what I said."
Weird, weird
If the deceased and the murderer knew each other, then why did the murderer immediately guess that the other person in the distance was a ghost?
And why can’t others see it? But the three of them could see it!
Anything with human factors involved will definitely leave corresponding traces.
But there is none here
Passers-by couldn't see it, even if the deceased pointed out the other person, they couldn't see it.
What did the murderer do? What method?
You know, the basis for the police to investigate the case is the clues left at the scene.
Therefore, most people who want to escape sanctions will look for alibi to eliminate clues about themselves and the scene.
This case is different.
He left no clues!
There is no witness, no physical evidence, even if I point it out to you, you can’t see it, there is no physical level!
In this case, even if the murderer is found, what will happen if the other party does not admit it?
The most important thing is
How to do it!
Letting a person commit suicide is undoubtedly the best method of murder, but everyone is greedy for life. If you can live without being forced by others, what reason is there to commit suicide?
Xu Hao couldn't guess.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"Go and check out the surveillance."
Xu Hao wanted to see if this surveillance really didn't capture any people!
"Okay, Gangzi stays."
Zhang Liang nodded.
After leaving Zhao Gang behind, Zhang Liang and Sun Jian Xu Hao walked out of the room and walked towards the shed below.
"Hoo~"
Exhaling a breath of white air, he opened the tent cloth.
Xu Hao looked at Li Jianye who was sitting at the computer desk and thinking hard and said:
"Investigate for me the surveillance records of Wang Wei in the bar and in the residential building."
Li Jianye nodded.
After a while, a picture appeared on the screen, with colorful lights and numerous figures, which made people breathless.
This is a bar.
It can be seen from the surveillance video that Wang Wei and three of his friends were playing with their heads and tails, but it didn’t take long
Wang Wei seemed to have seen something. He was stunned for a moment, with fear in his eyes. He wiped his eyes violently, but when he looked again he felt confused.
"Zoom in where he was looking just now."
Xu Hao frowned.
Li Jianye moved the mouse to enlarge it.
There is nothing there.
After playing it several times, the answer I got was still nothing.
Xu Hao's heart sank, "Change the surveillance video in the corridor."
Li Jianye nodded and called up a video again.
This video is even more puzzling.
The video angle was above the end of the corridor. Not long after, Wang Wei's figure appeared. He ran quickly from the corridor to the door and hurriedly took out the keys, but couldn't get anything out.
After a while, it seemed as if something was overtaking him.
Wang Wei faced the stairs and kept kowtowing, as if there was someone in front of him.
But the problem is.
"Nobody."
Xu Hao frowned and uttered three words.
That's right.
No matter which article it is, what day it is, or what state it is.
No second person appears on the surveillance screen
There is no evidence that the murderer ever existed!
Surveillance is ironclad evidence, ironclad proof on the physical level. It is impossible to say anything. You invented the invisibility cloak to prevent filming.
So.
What did the murderer see?
Li Jianye fell into deep thought again.
"Take the corpse for an identification."
"Hair, blood, urine, all done once, be sure to do it carefully."
Xu Hao opened his mouth and gave a guess.
Zhang Liang nodded, "The police are already doing it, and the next step is to wait for notification."
This kind of thing involves the unnatural realm.
In general.
They were all related to Aipin. After the police investigated the scene, they were confused and conducted an inspection directly.
This is a routine inspection.
Of course, routine does not mean laxity. On the contrary, as long as you have snoring, 99.9% will be detected!
But
Noon, half past eleven.
The three test documents appeared in front of everyone, and they fell silent.
After a long time, Li Jianye spoke slowly.
"According to the detection and analysis report, the deceased Wang Wei."
"There is no such thing as smoking drugs."
"Everything is normal!"
The test is normal and has nothing to do with the product.
"Then what's going on with this ghost!?"
Sun Jian was completely in disarray. Let alone the capital, there were few such cases in the whole country!
There is no record of smoking drugs, which means this ghost is real! ?
But no one could see this ghost. This ghost killed Wang Wei and forced him to death
It's here, but only four people can see it, and no one else can.
Weird, weird
The case is getting weird!
This is simply the perfect crime in the traditional sense!
Using ghosts to kill people, who is the murderer?
How! ?
