Chapter 338 Good and Evil Are Just a Thought

Da Zhao laughed and sang a little song.

"What are hackers? He can catch hackers."

Cheng Xinghui's eyes were full of little stars, and he had let go of his guard at this time. He sat next to him under Da Zhao's gesture, chatted for a while, and got to the point. Hearing that they were investigating a case seemed to be similar to what he experienced when he was a child. The smile on Cheng Xinghui's face disappeared, and his face turned pale.

Zhou Ning saw that something was wrong, and just about to speak, Da Zhao bumped into him.

"You brat, why are you so cowardly? Back then you were a two-year-old baby and couldn't protect yourself. Now that you're a young man, can you still be easily kidnapped?

In fact, I came here because I don’t hope you can remember anything. I just want to see your wounds and the shape of your severed finger. Have you seen that handsome brother?He is a forensic doctor. From the remaining details, he can determine what the murder weapon was that injured you at that time, and also analyze whether the two cases are related. Do you understand? "

Cheng Xinghui nodded half-understood, but his eyes became much firmer, he glanced in the direction of the door, and then said:
"Actually, I'm afraid that my dad is worried. I've been having a dream since I was a child, not every day, but occasionally repeating that dream. I can't tell whether it's reality or my imagination. It's okay to tell you, but I Authenticity not guaranteed."

Zhou Ning walked over when he heard this. This description made him feel too familiar. After all, the dream that tortured him was also induced by the psychiatrist, and it became clearer and clearer. Think about what Dr. Shi said at that time, Zhou Ning said.

"Don't worry, just relax a little bit and just tell us about your dream. If this posture is uncomfortable, sit on that back chair, relax your body, and recall it carefully. We will listen to it as a story and remember it. As much as you think of it, don’t force it, okay?”

Cheng Xinghui nodded, being so valued and recognized gave him confidence.

"I told my dad when I was young. My dad said that I was scared. It was hysteria. The person who took me to the horse was sticking signs and talking about it. I didn't say it again. I knew in my heart that it was nothing. Hysteria.

In the dream, I was wearing very thick cotton-padded trousers, and I was wearing that kind of calico bib. You have seen it, it is tied at the back, and it looks a bit like an apron. When I was a child, everyone dressed like this in the villages and towns. child.

When I opened my eyes in my dream, I was being carried by someone with a padded jacket and a bib strangling my neck. I struggled continuously, and then I was slapped hard on my butt, not with my hands, but with something like an iron rod. Anyway, it hurts a lot. .

I don't dare to cry anymore, the guy who hit me had a hood on his face, and his mouth could be covered with that kind of thing, you've seen the Flying Tigers movie, it's something like that, but his eyes are A long hole.

The man in the hood and Dagang kept talking. Dagang was the guy my dad hired. When I was my age, he worked in the store. I don’t remember what they said, but there was a long dark green bar on the table. There are many zippers and pockets on both sides of the bag, and there are many red letters and five-pointed stars in the middle.

The two of them talked well at first, but then they quarreled. Da Gang wanted to come up and snatch me, but the man in the hood didn't do it, so they moved their hands, and then the man in the hood grabbed my blouse and snatched me away I picked up a black thing and chopped it off at my hand, and I didn't know anything.

Of course now I know that my finger was chopped off, I can’t describe the pain, I tremble all over when I think about it, when I wake up again, the surrounding is pitch black, Dagang is lying in front of me, he keeps crying, as if He said sorry and kowtowed to me.

However, as a door opened, the man in the hood came back and threw a red and blue plastic woven bag on the table, which was very heavy. He opened it and put the bundles of money inside into the long green bag. He looked at me and kowtowed to the man in the hood. The man in the hood kicked Dagang over and raised the black thing towards me.

But Dagang rushed forward like crazy, hugged me and hid in the corner, the man in the hood spat cursingly, then continued to pack the money, put the bag on his back after packing, and went out directly, seeing the man in the hood left, I I was so hungry and my hands ached that I started to cry.

Da Gang covered my mouth, I heard a lot of voices, Da Gang stuffed me into a dirty closet, kept saying I was wrong, I was wrong, turned around and ran out, and then it was like firing a cannon Yes, it rang twice.

The dream is over here. Of course, every time in this dream, I can hear some of their conversations clearly, but I don’t know if this is something I thought up or it happened for real. Brother, I’m not sick, right? "

Cheng Xinghui looked at Zhou Ning hopefully, as if he wanted to get an answer from his big expression.

However, this narration made everyone doubtful. Liu Yongxin and Da Zhao were fine. After all, knowing that Zhou Ning had a similar experience, Zhu Xingxing and the others all stared wide-eyed.

The hairs on Zhou Ning's back were standing on end. According to the child's description, if this happened, it would indeed be similar to Liu Yongxin's initial judgment. The mastermind of this case is at large, and Da Gang is just an accomplice.

Maybe it was the information about the Cheng family, or maybe it was a moment of greed, wanting to get foreign money, when people are faced with the temptation of interests, they can't make a choice without a single thought, good and evil are just a matter of thought.

"It's not illness. I also had similar bad memories when I was a child, but I slowly remembered it after I became an adult. I thought I had a mental illness at first, but it was later confirmed that those were not dreams, but I experienced it myself. But I said it. The pressure and torment are less.

Afterwards, I will tell your father, you have a good chat, and you will let go after your knot is untied. Maybe that dream will reappear, but you will not be so afraid anymore. After all, you know that the end result is that you are saved. .

As for whether Dagang is dead or whether the hooded man ran away, these have nothing to do with you. If he can kidnap you with the hooded man, he has an unshirkable responsibility. Even if he has the intention of repenting halfway, a crime is a crime. "

Cheng Xinghui nodded vigorously and smiled at Zhou Ning.

"Thank you uncle!"

Zhou Ning glanced at his hand from this angle and couldn't see which finger he was missing.

"Can I see your hand? I need to take a picture and judge the cross-section of the severed finger. Is it similar to another case?"

Cheng Xinghui nodded, and raised his left hand. Two and a half segments of his index finger were missing, and the flap was very beautifully made. The remaining segment at least had a certain function. It looked like it was done by an absolutely professional hospital.

However, it is so neat, and there are such traces of treatment, it can be seen that surgery has been performed, so the comparison is not very meaningful.

Zhou Ning thought that the severed finger was closer to the root. After all, hand trauma is generally not cut at the joint, so the joint capsule will secrete synovial fluid, which will affect the healing of the wound and cause edema of the stump.Generally, the plane of amputation is determined according to the injury of the finger.

Seeing Zhou Ning staring at him like this, Cheng Xinghui pulled out his hand and opened the schoolbag on his back. Inside were some very old movies. Zhou Ning was a little surprised that these could bring them. Cheng Xinghui said:
"I heard from my father that you want to come to me to see if the bad guy who hurt me has committed another crime. I need to compare my wounds. I found these things. I don't know if they are useful, because my fingers have done it. Surgery, the section is not neat, what kind of flap is needed.”

Zhou Ning smiled.

"Boy, I've been watching criminal investigation TV series for a long time. It's amazing and I know that I have prepared the materials. It's good and careful. We especially need all kinds of films before the initial operation."

Being praised so much, Cheng Xinghui also laughed, without the nervousness when he first came, Zhou Ning looked at the film, and Zhu Xingxing took him to re-scan the film.

Zhou Ning asked Xiao Qu to process the film. After all, you are old and the clarity is not good. After re-processing, Zhou Ning carefully observed the front and side fracture sections.

Surprisingly, just like the three deceased in the 4.14 case, the broken end of the phalanx was stepped, and above the fracture section of the 30-degree inclined plane, there was a bone defect whose width spanned the longitudinal direction of the phalanx.

Xiao Qu edited the picture, compared the size of the three-edged bayonet according to the traces of skin and bone damage, and compared them vertically and horizontally, and they were exactly the same!
He quickly demonstrated the discovery to Zhou Ning. Zhou Ning's expression was indifferent. After reading it once, he just nodded slightly, then put the film into the bag, and as the things were put in, a palm-sized bottle made a rattling sound.

Zhou Ning reached out to grab the bottle out, Da Zhao was on the side, glanced at it unintentionally, and found that there was an index finger inside, the severed finger was small and pale, and there seemed to be a smaller bone inside, which was scary. Big Zhao jumped, and looked at Cheng Xinghui in surprise.

"Is this your finger?"

Cheng Xinghui nodded.

"My dad said that people should be whole when they get old, sick and die, and they can't be incomplete. However, it took a long time for my finger to be severed. I was too young at the time, and it was impossible to connect it. So I asked someone to soak it in formalin solution. , The part I surgically resected is also soaked in it, I don’t know if this can help you.”

Zhou Ning nodded vigorously, but Da Zhao looked suspicious.

"Zhou Xiaozhou has been soaked in formalin solution. Do you want to use it as a fresh sample and go to Sister Cui to extract the DNA left on it? How is it possible to extract it? Isn't this a joke?"

After Da Zhao finished speaking, his face was full of disbelief. Zhu Xingxing and the others also looked at Zhou Ning, as if they wanted to see the answer from Zhou Ning's face. This case happened in 2000, and they were soaked in formalin for 12 years. If you take it out and want to make DNA, it is not to collect the severed limbs, but to search for any residues on them.

Surprised expressions appeared on everyone's faces, but Liu Yongxin was not surprised.

"Baby apprentice, you can ask the laboratory department first. Formalin does not damage DNA, nor does it denature proteins. If it is stored properly, your idea is theoretically feasible, but this thing has about the same probability of winning the lottery. Fingers are It wasn't cut off by the masked man, whether his hand touched it or not is unknown."

Zhou Ning nodded.

"Of course I know. Since the child has preserved the severed finger, this is why we catch the murderer in the dark. It is said that the end of Western medicine is Chinese medicine, and the end of Chinese medicine is metaphysics. In fact, we are the same. Before, why not give it a try, maybe there will be unexpected gains for us.”

Zhou Ning's voice fell, and Cheng Zhi's roar came from behind.

"I disagree!"
