I am a super cop

Chapter 1940 [Two in One Chapter]

"My God! Is this the sun? How can it be so bright?" Lu Weiwei was also surprised by this solar lamp erected at a height of more than ten meters.

The point is, it was still dark just now, but for a moment, it was like daylight, which made Lu Weiwei feel incredible.

Wu Xiaofeng also smiled and said: "This is the nighttime lighting equipment provided by the Zhao Bureau. With this thing, it can directly cover a distance of [-] meters around."

"And the brightness is enough." Ji Zhe also added.

Police Officer Wang walked up to him with a smile, and said involuntarily, "Bureau Zhao is really willing to spend a lot of money to cooperate with us. I remember that Furong branch doesn't have this thing. Was it transferred from the city bureau?"

"Senior Brother Wang, you really guessed it right." Seeing that Police Officer Wang also knew the background of the branch office, Ji Zhe also echoed and said:
"This thing was seconded by Zhao Bureau and Qin Bureau. Qin Bureau also said that if we need help here, just ask."

"As long as there are people in the police force, they will be moved here for us. Bureau Qin only wants results."

"It seems that Bureau Zhao is under a lot of pressure, and Bureau Qin is also on fire." Looking at the sun lamp in front of him, Gu Chen suddenly felt that time was running out.

Seeing that everyone was getting ready to go, he walked directly towards one of the positions.

Seeing that Gu Chen was silent, Lu Weiwei knew Gu Chen's pressure in her heart, so she quickly followed behind.

Yuan Shasha and Police Officer Wang looked at each other and immediately followed.

The team of four disappeared into the jungle in an instant.

There is light in the rear, and the shadows of the people in front, as well as the dark forest.

Of course Gu Chen knew that the clues might be around the cemetery.

Yuan Jialiang's death was definitely not that simple.

But Gu Chen still doesn't know the origin of Yuan Jialiang, nor how did Yuan Jialiang know the location of this cemetery?
Judging from the current situation, Gu Chen is more willing to believe that someone told Yuan Jialiang, and the person who provided the information, Gu Chen feels, should be a local from Wangchao Town.

But now Gu Chen doesn't have enough evidence, and it's hard to judge.

rustling!

Compared with the last search in Wangxian Valley, this time it looked different. All the police officers involved in the search were equipped with corresponding police equipment.

And everyone's search scope is also very limited, that is, to search for suspicious clues around the wild graves.

Since the central area of ​​the wild tomb is equipped with high-end lighting equipment, it brings a lot of convenience to everyone's search work.

"Senior Brother Gu." While Gu Chen was actively searching, Yuan Shasha suddenly stopped and turned her head to call.

Gu Chen turned his head and trotted over quickly.

Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang followed closely behind.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen said.

"Look." Yuan Shasha knelt down, pointed to a spot on the ground and said, "What is this? Bamboo pieces?"

Gu Chen didn't speak, but put on white gloves, picked up the bamboo pieces on the ground, held them in his hands and observed them.

Lu Weiwei squinted her eyes, and suddenly wondered: "What is painted on it? Why does it look like a ghost? It's quite scary."

"This is Yama, isn't it? Why do you feel so vicious?" Officer Wang also felt that the totem painted on the bamboo slice looked like a scruffy bearded head.

Gu Chen looked around, and found that only the internal orientation of the bamboo slices had totems drawn with black ink, and the corners of the bamboo slices were carefully polished.

Looking back at the direction of the wild grave, the distance is less than 200 meters.

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes: "Could it be that the murderer lost it?"

"Who knows? But there are no footprints around." Yuan Shasha said.

Gu Chen took a closer look at the surroundings, weeds were overgrown everywhere, it was difficult to leave footprints.

"Look again and see if there are other clues around." Gu Chen said.

Seeing Gu Chen speak, everyone didn't say anything more, and continued to extend outward, searching for traces around.

About an hour later, everyone returned to the starting point according to the previous agreement.

At this moment, the other teams that were scattered to search also came back one after another.

From everyone's expressions, it can be seen that there seems to be not much discovery.

Seeing that the last team returned safely to the starting point, Gu Chen asked, "Did you find anything?"

"No." A second-level superintendent shook his head: "There is nothing around, we have searched carefully enough."

"It seems that this is the only way tonight?" Seeing that all the teams had no results, Officer Wang also suggested.

Gu Chen looked at the time, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening.

Seeing that there was nothing to be gained in the mountains, Gu Chen could only order the team to withdraw if he just picked up a piece of bamboo with a picture of a head on it.

Looking at Zhang Wenxia beside her, Gu Chen said, "Senior Sister Zhang, please let everyone carry the coffin down the mountain."

"Don't worry, I have already prepared all the tools for carrying the coffin, but there are not enough people."

"We can help." Before Zhang Wenxia finished speaking, Ji Zhe volunteered.

"That's good." After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhang Wenxia said to several enthusiastic people: "Everyone, please do me a favor. Tie up the coffin and carry it down together. An empty coffin is not heavy."

"Come, come, everyone, get moving, go down the mountain early, and rest early." The village cadres also clapped their hands to remind.

Everyone is exhausted at the moment, and seeing that they can go down the mountain, everyone cheers up immediately.

Several experienced men immediately tied the coffin tightly to two strong wooden sticks.

The four of them carried the coffin without much effort, but because they were walking on a mountain road, some people were needed to hold their ground.

"rise!"

Just after the village cadre gave an order, the four of them exerted their strength in an instant and lifted the empty coffin out of the cemetery in an instant.

Due to the age, there is a rotten smell in the air.

All of them, although wearing masks, also seemed to be having trouble with the smell.

"Walk."

The village cadre said.

The four enthusiastic people who carried the coffin suddenly complained: "Village chief, this job is too tiring, can you add more money?"

The village chief was a little embarrassed, and glanced at Zhang Wenxia beside him.

Zhang Wenxia nodded silently: "This is no problem."

"Okay, okay." Seeing Zhang Wenxia's promise, the village cadre replied readily, "Give me more money, let's go."

"Hey!" Feeling that there is money to be made, everyone gained strength in an instant, no matter how bad the smell was, they started to walk down the mountain.

But when the coffin passed by Gu Chen's side, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Stop, stop."

"What's wrong?" said an enthusiastic crowd carrying the coffin.

Gu Chen didn't reply, but walked to the side of the coffin, and used his hands to push away the dirt sticking to the coffin.

In an instant, a humanoid totem painted on the coffin appeared in front of everyone.

"It's... this ghost head?" Lu Weiwei recognized at a glance that the totem painted on the side of the coffin was exactly the totem on the piece of bamboo that everyone picked up in the woods.

Gu Chen took out the bamboo pieces from the transparent evidence collection bag and placed them on the side of the coffin for comparison.

At this time, everyone was surprised to find that the totem on the bamboo piece was almost the same as the totem on the side of the coffin.

"How did this happen?" Police Officer Wang was also taken aback for a moment: "This...how did this kind of ghost appear on the coffin? What's going on here?"

Gu Chen quickly glanced at Zhang Wenxia.

Zhang Wenxia also said in confusion: "I really don't know about this. You said that this piece of bamboo was picked up in the woods, but what happened to the totem on the coffin? I really don't know. Could it be that during the burial, it was buried? Was it drawn by someone?"

"No." Hearing Zhang Wenxia's remarks, Gu Chen quickly denied the statement and replied:

"The totem that appeared on the coffin was painted only recently."

"Did it be painted recently?" Lu Weiwei, who was wearing white gloves, also pushed aside the mud sticking to the side of the coffin and took a closer look.

Then, after Lu Weiwei finished taking pictures and collecting evidence, she wiped it heavily with her hand.

It was soon discovered that the black mark was smeared on the corner of the totem.

"Really, this totem was painted only recently, could it be..."

Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei suddenly looked at Gu Chen and said, "Could it be that the murderer did this?"

"It's possible." Gu Chen crossed his arms and said while thinking.

"But why did the murderer do this? What are the meanings of painting this kind of thing? Also, did the murderer leave the bamboo pieces we picked up in the woods on purpose? Or did the murderer drop them accidentally?" Lu Weiwei was puzzled.

Gu Chen shook his head: "From the current point of view, both situations are possible, but I am more inclined to let the murderer stay here on purpose."

"Why?" Lu Weiwei was puzzled.

"The reason is very simple." Gu Chen pointed to the image of the ghost head on the side of the coffin, and said, "This was painted only recently, and it looks like a ghost."

"As for the bamboo pieces in the woods, someone may have deliberately discarded them there. If Yuan Jialiang is killed, then our police will definitely have doubts about this wild grave. After all, Yuan Jialiang has been around these days."

"But once the surrounding area is checked, it may be easy to find that piece of bamboo, which is also a clue left by the murderer on purpose."

Looking back at Yuan Shasha, Gu Chen said again: "Xiao Yuan found that the location of the bamboo piece is an open space with less weeds. According to the normal walking route, we must pass by that end."

"I see." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Yuan Shasha also nodded in agreement: "The murderer deliberately left this piece of bamboo on the only way we searched, probably to let us notice that the bamboo piece The ghost head is exactly the same as the one on the side of the coffin?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently.

"But why did the murderer do this? What does this ghost mean?" Yuan Shasha felt that she was about to be confused by this pattern.

Zhang Wenxia approached him, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, she suggested: "Gu Chen, why don't you take it back to Wangchao Town first? I'll ask my acquaintances in Wangchao Town to see if anyone knows the meaning of this totem." ,how do you feel?"

"It's okay." Gu Chen also had this intention, and when Zhang Wenxia reminded him, Gu Chen also said casually:
"You can ask Zhong Fakui from Wangchao Town. Bai Xiaolan said that he is a know-it-all in Wangchao Town. There are many things he doesn't know."

"And when we were investigating the clues of suspicious persons, it was Boss Zhong who provided some relevant clues that allowed us to lock in Yuan Jialiang."

With a faint sigh, Gu Chen was also quite helpless: "But it's a step too late. If we know Yuan Jialiang's situation in advance, maybe we can unlock the secret behind Yuan Jialiang."

"Okay, Gu Chen, it's not your fault, who can predict the occurrence of this situation?" Zhang Wenxia also knew that the situation on the scene was a bit complicated, but fortunately, Gu Chen found Yuan Jialiang in a desperate manner. this clue.

Just bad luck.

Afterwards, everyone cleaned up at the scene and walked down the mountain.

It was already 10:50 p.m. when we returned to Wangchao Town Police Station.

Everyone temporarily placed the coffin in the compound of the Wangchao Town Police Station.

At this moment, Xu Feng, the director of the Wangchao Town Police Station, just came back. He learned that Gu Chen was handling the case in Wangchao Town on the phone. After the meeting, Xu Feng rushed back to Wangchao Town and waited here. Gu Chen's arrival.

It was also when the enthusiastic crowd received their salaries and went home, Xu Feng walked up to Gu Chen, stretched out his hand and said hello, "Gu Dui, hello Gu Dui."

"Director Xu." Gu Chen shook hands with Xu Feng. The two had met several times during the branch meeting before, so Gu Chen also knew Xu Feng.

Officer Wang said weakly: "Old Xu, you have a long meeting today?"

"Hey, it's time for the training meeting. It's my turn for this group, so I went to the city bureau for a training meeting. I was planning to come back tomorrow, but as soon as I heard that you were here, I rushed back overnight."

Although Xu Feng said this verbally, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was what Zhao Guozhi meant.

More than 20 police officers were dispatched from the criminal investigation team of the sub-bureau to Wangchao Town. Thinking about it, this movement is not small.

Xu Feng naturally knew it too.

"Old Xu, I'm really in trouble and need your help." While speaking, Police Officer Wang directly took the bamboo piece wrapped in a transparent evidence collection bag from Gu Chen, and said, "What is the ghost head pattern on this bamboo piece?" Meaning? Does anyone here know?"

"What is this?" Xu Feng was also startled by the totem on the bamboo piece, so he held it in his hand and observed it carefully.

After a while, Xu Feng shook his head: "I've never seen it before, it looks nondescript and scary."

"We feel like a ghost." Lu Weiwei walked over and said.

"Ghost head?" Xu Feng held it in his hand again after hearing the words and looked at it again. Then he clicked his tongue twice, and couldn't help saying in amazement: "Don't say it, it's quite scary. It's not an exaggeration to say ghost head."

"Just, where did you find this thing?"

"On the mountain, I found it on the mountain next to Wangchao Town, about 200 meters away from the wild grave." Zhang Wenxia said.

Since Zhang Wenxia had communicated with Xu Feng on the phone before, Xu Feng also had some understanding of Gu Chen's actions today.

Looking at the totem in his hand, Xu Feng thought about it and said, "Why don't I ask some know-it-alls in Wangchao Town, just wait a moment."

While talking, Xu Feng took a picture of the totem and sent it to a local group in Wangchao Town.

Seeing everyone gathered around, Xu Feng explained: "This group is full of opinion leaders from Wangchao Town. Maybe some of them know about it, but it just takes some time."

Looking down at the phone, Xu Feng said again: "It's not early today, why don't your criminal investigation team take a break at our police station tonight? Bureau Zhao also greeted me and asked me to arrange it."

"Is that convenient?" Yuan Shasha asked.

Xu Feng grinned: "What's the inconvenience? We have a rest room here, but there are not so many beds."

"But it's summer now, and there are some summer mats. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the nearby supermarket and buy some. Everyone will make do with it."

After finishing speaking, Xu Feng said to Zhang Wenxia again: "Wenxia, ​​I checked the inventory of our police station, and there are still 12 mats left, you can go to the nearby supermarket to buy 12 more later."

"Understood, I'll go right away." Seeing that Gu Chen's criminal investigation team was going to stay at the police station tonight, Zhang Wenxia hurried out.

Seeing this, Yuan Shasha also took the initiative to ask Ying to say: "Senior Sister Zhang, let me go with you."

"Row."

The two chatted with each other and walked out of the gate of the police station.

Seeing this situation, Xu Feng moved closer to Gu Chen and whispered, "Bureau Zhao wants you to handle the case in a low-key manner and live outside for fear of attracting attention, so let you stay inside."

"The conditions are a bit poor, but we, the Wangchao Town Police Station, will do our best to guarantee your three meals a day."

"Then I'll have to thank Senior Brother Xu." Seeing Xu Feng's extra politeness, Gu Chen replied with a smile.

Subsequently, other police officers unloaded their equipment and arranged them in two empty lounges.

One of them is a meeting room. The desks were temporarily moved to one side, and the floor was cleaned and covered with mats.

The officers fell asleep.

In the director's office, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Xu Feng were gathering together, waiting for the latest news.

From time to time, in Xu Feng's so-called opinion leader group in Wangchao Town, someone would post words, but none of them had anything to do with the totem.

However, at 11:20 in the evening, Xu Feng, who was already resting on the table, suddenly rang his cell phone.

The ringtone woke up Gu Chen and the others who were also sitting on the sofa.

Xu Feng swiped the answer button and asked, "Old Zhong, what? You know? Are you sure?"

After being stunned for a few seconds, Xu Feng looked at everyone with a complicated expression, and then said to the phone:

"Old Zhong, why don't you come to the police station, I'll wait for you in the office, yes, it's now, oh, don't sleep, the situation is urgent, there are things tomorrow, yes, you come over and explain clearly."

After another pause for a few seconds, Xu Feng finally said: "Okay, that's it, um."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Feng said to Gu Chen: "Captain Gu, the old Zhong from the blueberry base said that he seems to know the origin of this ghost, but it's a long story, I'll ask him to come to the police station and explain clearly in person. "

"Old Zhong from the Blueberry Base? Zhong Fakui?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Yes, it's him. There is nothing he doesn't know about the big and small things in Chao Town." Xu Feng said.

Officer Wang nodded silently: "Well, we also wanted to ask him to know about it before, but I didn't expect that this old Zhong really knew about it. He is indeed the know-it-all in Wangchao Town."

"Old Zhong, he has a lot of connections and has been staying in Wangchao Town, so he knows everything about Wangchao Town like the back of his hand."

"Sometimes, he knows more than me as the director. If I have something to do, I usually ask him."

While talking, Xu Feng also started to make tea for Gu Chen and the others.

After all, after a tiring day, many people are already exhausted. At this time, they need tea to refresh themselves.

Not long after, while Gu Chen and the others were still drinking tea, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhong Fakui walked in familiarly.

Seeing that Gu Chen and the others were all there, Zhong Fakui nodded to the crowd: "Are you all there?"

"Boss Zhong, please sit down." Lu Weiwei stretched out her hand and said.

After Zhong Fakui sat down, he took a glass of water from Xu Feng, and then he said a little tiredly: "I do know something about the ghost head totem you mentioned, but it seems that many years have passed, and I didn't expect it to appear today? "

"Boss Zhong, speak slowly." Gu Chen adjusted the angle of the law enforcement camera and placed it on the table, aiming at Zhong Fakui.

Zhong Fakui nodded silently, and also recalled: "About 15 years ago, in Wangchao Town, there was a female student who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts. She was very good at painting, and she once contributed to a comic magazine."

"I remember, when I went to her house to talk to her parents about something, I saw this ghost head pattern in her study."

"Did you see it in the study?" Hearing Boss Zhong's words, Lu Weiwei was a little incredulous:

"Could it be that the author of this ghost is that female art student?"

"Yes, you can put it that way." After taking a sip of tea, Boss Zhong said again:

"I also entered her room unintentionally. She was not at home at the time, and I happened to be looking for her father to discuss the sale of agricultural products, because at that time, I was still engaged in green and pollution-free vegetables."

"His father is better at this, so I wanted to do it with her father, so I went to her house and discussed it with her father for a long time."

"Afterwards, his father wanted to leave me to eat at home and cook by himself. I had nothing to do, so I went to visit her room."

"What does her room look like?" Gu Chen suddenly became interested in this female painter after hearing Zhong Fakui's introduction.

Boss Zhong looked up and thought: "What does the room look like? Let's put it this way, the walls are covered with various awards, from various periods, densely packed."

"Besides, there are her sketches, which seem to be all over the room. At that time, drawing with computers was not so popular, and they were all drawn by manuscripts."

"I remember, when I was sitting in that girl's seat, holding a few manuscript papers on her desk, I was stunned by the portrait on the manuscript paper."

"Is it because of the painting?" Officer Wang asked.

"Yes." Boss Zhong didn't refute, but nodded and admitted: "It's because of the painting, I found that her paintings are extremely scary, and the characters in the paintings look creepy."

"I feel that this painting is not a person, but a monster, the kind that makes your hair stand on end just by looking at it."

"Is it really that scary?" It was the first time Lu Weiwei heard this kind of statement, and she couldn't help asking him curiously: "Boss Zhong, so the ghost head pattern you mentioned was also seen on her manuscript paper?"

"Yes." Boss Zhong nodded: "I remember that ghost head pattern is at the bottom of all manuscript paper."

"When I saw this ghost head pattern, I felt that there was something wrong with this girl's psychology? Why did she draw such a distorted pattern?"

"Because during that time, she was not at home, only her father stayed at home alone."

"At noon that day, I happened to be talking about something, so when we were having dinner, I asked him casually, what is his daughter doing now?"

"Then what did he say?" Gu Chen asked.

"He said that his daughter wanted to be a painter. I said, the painter is pretty good, but you must produce decent works, at least must have representative works?"

"I looked at the room and asked him again. I said that I visited your daughter's room just now. Those manuscript papers almost shocked me. I said, why do you draw such things?"

"He said that his daughter seems to have always liked drawing ghosts. He said that her daughter believes that ghosts are not scary, but the people's hearts are scary."

"It seems that this girl really has a psychological problem." Police Officer Wang took a sip of tea and said, "Could it be that she was stimulated by something? So you vented all your mental distortions on these paintings?"

"It's hard to say." Boss Zhong waved his hand and said in recollection:
"At that time, I also felt that there might be some problems with the girl's psychology. I also told her father about it. I said, a friend of mine opened a painting studio in the city, and asked his daughter if she would like to be a teacher there?"

"After all, although those ghost patterns look scary, but the painting skills are still very solid."

"Otherwise, how can a single painting scare people?"

"It can be seen from this that this girl's painting skills are indeed somewhat unfathomable, so I give advice."

"Then her father agreed?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Boss Zhong waved his hand: "Her father said that her daughter seems to be very obsessed with creation, and has always had a cooperative relationship with a comic magazine."

"That magazine seems to like her stuff, and the scarier the better."

"That's why his daughter went further and further on this road, but later her father discovered that her daughter's temper seemed to become more and more irritable, and she would throw things at home at every turn."

"Her father also thought about asking her daughter to see a psychiatrist to see if she could get out of her own psychological world, but her daughter ruthlessly refused."

Listening to Zhong Fakui's explanation, Gu Chen also had doubts, and hurriedly asked: "Then what is this female painter doing now?"

"It's dead." Boss Zhong said.

"died?"

When everyone heard the words, they almost spoke in unison.

"How did you die?" After all, Xu Feng didn't work in Wangchao Town back then, so he didn't know much about the situation in Wangchao Town, so he asked along.

Zhong Fakui squinted his eyes and thought: "How did he die? I heard that it seems to be because of relationship problems, and finally committed suicide by jumping into the river."

"Boss Zhong, can you be more specific?" Gu Chen said.

"Uh, actually... I don't know very well, I just remember that on the day of the burial, her parents cried very sadly, and I went to comfort her."

"It was also in the later chatting process that I heard his father mention it. It seems that because of her boyfriend who fell in love with her, he moved on and fell in love with her. In the end, his relationship was traumatized. In the process of creation, he began to like ghosts more and more. thing."

"So since then, his daughter has changed from drawing small and refreshing cartoons to a person who draws ghost cartoons. Moreover, the various images of this kind of horror cartoons have become more and more realistic, making people creepy."

"Later, I asked her father if she didn't want to settle accounts with that man. His father shook his head and said that the man had also come here after hearing that his daughter committed suicide by jumping into the river, and wanted to see off this former lover."

"But unfortunately, on the way back, this man accidentally got into a car accident and died on the spot."

"Some people say that this is the grievance of his daughter, who turned into a ghost to avenge her boyfriend."

"Hehe, is this a bit outrageous?" Listening to this explanation, Lu Weiwei also felt that this kind of revenge was untenable.

But Boss Zhong said righteously: "Don't you believe me, I also heard people say that the man, after attending the girl's funeral, asked the girl's house and asked for a relic, and wanted to keep it as a memory." .”

"Because the dead cannot be brought back to life, the girl's father didn't make things difficult for the guy anymore, and finally asked the guy to go to the girl's study and pick out anything."

"Then what? This guy picked something?" Gu Chen asked curiously.

Boss Zhong was thoughtful: "You may not believe it, this young man picked out a drawing of this girl."

"And this drawing is the painting I saw in the girl's study that day, and it's the ghost head you sent me."

"What? I want a sketch of a ghost head?" Hearing this, Lu Weiwei was stunned, and she couldn't believe it:
"This man is interesting, how could he like this kind of thing?"

"I don't know." Boss Zhong shook his head, but said righteously:

"I also heard from the girl's father that he seemed a little mentally weak when talking about this ghostly drawing, but this guy didn't care."

"Therefore, the boy left with the painting of the girl's ghost head. Since then, he has never appeared again."

"As for the girl's parents, they also went to other places to make a living. At first, they came back every year, and later they came back every few years."

"Although this matter has passed for many years, the pattern of this ghost head is still deep in my memory."

"So, when Director Xu sent this pattern, I recognized it at a glance. This is the ghost head drawn by that girl back then, huh!"

At the end, Boss Zhong also let out a long breath, feeling that things were a little weird.

At this moment, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Xu Feng all looked at each other.

It felt like everyone didn't understand what Zhong Fakui said.

I don't understand why the ghost head pattern has disappeared for 15 years, but it will appear in Wangchao Town again?

But while everyone was wondering, Gu Chen suddenly remembered something, so he hurriedly asked Zhong Fakui: "Boss Zhong, tell me, that girl committed suicide by jumping into the river 15 years ago, right?"

"Yes." Boss Zhong nodded silently, acknowledging it.

"That's weird." Gu Chen also folded his hands on his chest, lying on the sofa, recalling, "This girl who drew ghost heads died 15 years ago."

"And the fire at the sponge factory happened exactly 15 years ago."

"Could it be that there is still some connection between the two?" According to Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei also thought of the foreign man who was burned to death in the sponge factory.

Boss Zhong shook his head: "I'm not sure about that, after all, that person is a foreigner, and his identity has not been clarified yet."

"As for this girl, she is a native of Wangchao Town, and there seems to be no connection between the two."

"That may be a coincidence in timing." Gu Chen said.

"It can be understood in this way." Boss Zhong didn't know what to say now?
Officer Wang also had his hands behind his back. After walking back and forth twice, he looked at Zhong Fakui and said:
"Boss Zhong, are you sure that the ghost you saw is indeed the girl's drawing? It can't be mistaken, right? After all, it has been 15 years. If the pattern is wrong, then our investigation direction will be different." will go astray."

"No." Seeing Officer Wang's refutation, Zhong Fakui also said affirmatively:
"I saw this pattern once in that girl's study in my life, and I was quite impressed."

"Especially the symmetrical proportion of the human head, beard and hair in this pattern is perfect."

"Just such a pattern, how could I remember it wrong, I swear I didn't make a mistake."

Seeing that Zhong Fakui even used the oath, Gu Chen believed that maybe what Zhong Fakui said was right, maybe he didn't miss it.

Gu Chen, who was thinking with his arms crossed and his chin resting on his chin, also murmured:
"According to this theory, the girl committed suicide by jumping into the river. In the end, the girl's ex-boyfriend came to see her off."

"Before I left, I took away the drawing of the ghost. After so many years, the only people who know about this ghost are the girl's parents and her ex-boyfriend."

Shaking his head, Gu Chen said again: "But what does this have to do with the pattern we found on the side of the coffin on the mountain?"

"The girl who committed suicide had her ghost head pattern taken by her ex-boyfriend as early as 15 years ago."

"But the ghost head pattern on this coffin is obviously painted not long ago."

"There is also the bamboo piece found in the woods, and the ghost head pattern on it was also painted recently."

"It can be seen from this that this person who pretends to be a ghost may want to leave us some necessary clues quietly through this ghost head pattern."

"Junior Brother Gu." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei couldn't believe it:

"You mean, someone is going to do something? Deliberately use the ghost head pattern to remind us?"

"It's very possible." Gu Chen crossed his fingers and said in retrospect:

"Think about it, this ghost head pattern was taken away by her ex-boyfriend 15 years ago and has since disappeared."

"But now, the ghost head pattern has come back again, so I can understand that the appearance of this ghost head pattern is indeed related to her ex-boyfriend."

"It was drawn by her ex-boyfriend?" Officer Wang thought for a few seconds, and then immediately denied it: "It's not right? It's been 15 years, what is this girl's ex-boyfriend coming here again?"

"The girl's departure seems to have made him lose the reason to come here, so the totem may have other plans."

"It may be that someone came here to pretend to be a ghost by using the painting of the dead girl." Lu Weiwei said.

"No." After listening to the opinions of several people, Gu Chen directly retorted:
"This person is probably reminding us and giving us clues."

"What did you say? Someone wants to remind us?" Xu Feng couldn't believe it when he heard the words:

"No way? Logically speaking, shouldn't this person be the one who killed Yuan Jialiang?"

"But Yuan Jialiang was killed, why did he leave this ghost head pattern? Or did the murderer just use this ghost head pattern as his hunting mark?"

Gu Chen flicked his fingers: "We must find out, what is the name of this girl's ex-boyfriend? The specific identity information must be mastered."

"If this ghost pattern can be used on the side of the coffin, it is obvious that this person is trying to cause trouble."

"Leaving a piece of bamboo in a prominent place in the woods may just remind us that we are deliberately trying to find this thing so that we can connect with the ghost head on the side of the coffin."

"It seems that this person seems to be in control of everything."

"Oh, let Boss Zhong think of a way to do this." Turning his head to look at Zhong Fakui, Police Officer Wang also said politely:

"Boss Zhong, please help us to contact the girl's parents. We want to know the specific information of the girl's ex-boyfriend through the girl's parents."

"You want to start with this person, right? Okay, I'll find it for you right now."

Hearing a few people talking, Zhong Fakui immediately started looking for the girl's parents in the phone's address book.

After a while, Zhong Fakui's eyes lit up, he pointed at the phone and said, "I found it, are you calling now?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded.

"Wait a minute." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhong Fakui immediately dialed the video call.

After a while, the call was connected.

The two acquaintances exchanged pleasantries immediately.

"Old Zhong, why are you looking for me so late?"

"Old Xiao, there is something I want to confirm with you." Zhong Fakui said.

"What's the matter, let's talk." The man named Lao Xiao seemed tired.

So Zhong Fakui took the transparent evidence collection bag in Gu Chen's hand again, and showed the ghost head pattern drawn on the bamboo slices in front of Lao Xiao and said:
"Old Xiao, do you remember this?"

"What is this?" On the screen in his hand, the man named Lao Xiao couldn't help picking up the reading glasses beside him and putting it on, then he approached the screen and squinted.

But after a while, Old Xiao was stunned on the spot, and asked with some surprise: "Old Zhong, this...this thing seems familiar."

"Of course it looks familiar. This ghost head pattern was drawn by your daughter. Does it look familiar?" Seeing that Lao Xiao also seemed to see something tricky, Zhong Fakui was also relieved.

Old Xiao squinted his eyes and thought, but also thoughtfully: "Hearing what you said, I remembered it, that's right, my daughter drew a picture of this kind of ghost back then, and was later drawn by that bastard boy I'm leaving."

"Do you still remember?" Zhong Fakui said with a smile.

"How come you don't remember? But, your old Zhong made a video call to me so late, can't it be so simple? Where are you now?"

"Wangchao Town Police Station." Zhong Fakui took a picture of the surrounding area with his mobile phone, and then said, "Did you see it? I'm talking about something in the director's office."

"Why are you calling me to talk about something?" Lao Xiao seemed to be confused by Zhong Fakui, and asked curiously.

But Zhong Fakui said righteously: "Old Xiao, it's not me, but these policemen who are looking for you."
