Detective Files II

Chapter 241 Number Blindness

"Did you find it? Where did you find it?" Tian Mi immediately regained her spirits when she heard the news.

"It'll be delivered right away," Mo Dou said with a chuckle, "We're lucky this time! What an idiot! I just said on the phone that someone picked up Wu Liang's cell phone. I guess Gui Xiuqin called before. Sudden rejection and shutdown are all good things done by this kid!"

"Then how did you find it so quickly?"

"Greed for petty gains! I found out that there was still a phone bill in the phone card, so I wanted to take advantage of it, so I used Wu Liang's card to make a call."

"Is it true? Did you just find the phone?" Tian Mi was afraid that there were other secrets in it.

Mo Dou waved his hand: "Don't worry, that's definitely not the case. It's already confirmed. I don't even know that the person is dead. Just now I heard someone yelling on the phone. If it's a big deal, I'll return it. How much money did I spend?" Double it and recharge it back."

"The information in the phone...?"

"Not sure yet, send it to us in a hurry, haven't checked it yet." Mo Dou grabbed the record at hand and handed it to Tian Mi, "Look at this."

Tian Mi took it over and took a look, her eyes lit up immediately: "At [-]:[-] last night, the Red Lantern Hotel called Nian Yongjun's cell phone number? If that's the case, doesn't it mean that [-]:[-] At ten o'clock, Wu Liang was still alive? But why did he call Nian Yongjun?"

"No one can answer this question for us now. Wu Liang's death is basically confirmed. Although Nian Yongjun is in good shape, he has no memory of the experience during the period of illness, and he can't ask it." Mo Dou spread his hands. , very helpless, "Do you believe in hypnosis?"

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Isn't Hu Yang a psychiatrist? Didn't you watch it on TV before? After the psychiatrist hypnotizes people, the hypnotized person can remember many things that he couldn't remember before the hypnosis. Why don't you just ask Hu Yang later, Does he have this skill? Shall we try it too?" With a glimmer of hope, Mo Dou asked for Tian Mi's opinion, he had never seen Populus euphratica, so he didn't know how good Populus euphratica was.

"Let's talk about it." Tian Mi didn't know how to express her position on his proposal, and she was always dubious about hypnosis.

"Dr. Lu, do you believe in hypnotism?" Mo Dou asked Lu Xiangdong again without giving up.

Lu Xiangdong replied without hesitation, "I don't believe it."

"why?"

"I never believe in things that I haven't experienced or seen with my own eyes." Lu Xiangdong said, "Especially those things that cannot be seen or touched."

"Have you ever thought about a question?" Tian Mi suddenly realized that there was something unexplainable. "According to our previous assumptions and the current situation, let's treat Nian Yongjun as a criminal suspect for the time being. Last night at [-]:[-] p.m. , Wu Liang and his son called him at the Red Lantern Hotel. At this time, they were still alive and were later killed. At that time, according to Nian Yongjun's statement and Hu Yang's confirmation, Nian Yongjun had already fallen ill Then how could he still remember the address of the restaurant after he fell ill, and why did he suddenly run there and kill him?"

"Because he called Hu Yang for help every time he got sick, he subconsciously remembered Hu Yang's phone number. If this is the case, would he instinctively suffer from amnesia because he went to work at the Red Lantern Hotel every day? You can find it too?" Mo Dou boldly assumed.

No one can make a conclusion about his idea, because everyone has no concept of "transient complete amnesia syndrome", and they don't know what kind of state the patient will be in after the onset of amnesia.

At this time, Tian Yang called and said that Gui Xiuqin had arrived at the forensic doctor. Although she was repeatedly told to be mentally prepared, when she saw the two put together corpses, she still rolled her eyes and fainted. In the past, now they are rushing to rescue her.

"Are you sure it's Wu Liang and Wu Zhida?" Tian Mi asked.

"The specifics can only be found out after Gui Xiuqin wakes up, but judging by her fierce reaction, I guess it won't be too bad."

"The face is soaked in that way, can you recognize it all at once?"

"Who knows, maybe it's the familiarity between the husband and wife, let's not talk about it, let's go back later and talk about it in detail."

Thinking about her previous attitude towards Gui Xiuqin, Tian Mi felt a little guilty. Before that, she was really angry, angry at this woman's harsh and mean speech, and couldn't understand her indifference towards her family.

But thinking about it now, family members are family members after all, even if they say they don't care about it, they still think it's another matter in their hearts.

"Did you just think that Gui Xiuqin tried her best to deny Wu Liang and Wu Zhida's death because she was afraid that such a fact would come true?" She turned her head and asked Lu Xiangdong with some insight.

Lu Xiangdong nodded: "No matter how much you don't like Gui Xiuqin's personality, you can't become subjective because of this, and make people habitually speculate on the bad."

Tian Mi was a little embarrassed. She knew that Lu Xiangdong had seen through herself. When Gui Xiuqin tried her best to deny the possible murder of Wu Liang and Wu Zhida at the beginning, she did take Gui's attitude as a mistake because of her bad first impression. A guilty conscience.

"Just pay attention in the future. It's good for people to have feelings, but you can't act emotionally." How could Lu Xiangdong fail to notice her embarrassment, and this time he showed a rare tolerant attitude.

Tian Mi blinked and looked at him slightly uncomfortable, and suddenly felt that her tongue seemed to be knotted in her mouth, blocking her throat, making her speechless.

This case is not only unprecedented for Tian Mi, but even Tian Yang, who is much more experienced than her and Mo Dou, has no experience to speak of.

The situation they encountered before is usually to receive a report first, then see the corpse, confirm and investigate the identity of the corpse and the crime scene, draw a series of conclusions such as the time of death, and use these clues to start investigating the surroundings of the deceased. relevant personnel to investigate.

But this time, they first encountered a patient with "temporary total amnesia syndrome" who had no impression of their previous experience and ran to surrender, believing that he had killed someone, and then found the dismembered body. Whether there is any connection between them, the time and cause of death of the deceased, who the deceased met before his death, and what did the surrendered person do during the period of amnesia? In front of them, people were caught off guard.

Although the situation of no clues will make many criminal policemen go crazy, but if, on the other hand, there are many clues piled up in front of them, which is more chaotic than a mess, that is also not a good thing.

Before Dr. Hu Yang came, none of the detectives in the serious crime team dared to provoke Nian Yongjun easily. His loss of control earlier made them feel lingering fear.

If Nian Yongjun is really the perpetrator, that's all. If he is not, it would be too wrong to bring such a great mental stimulation to an innocent person.

During the waiting process, no one in the office spoke for a while, and they all sat quietly, thinking deeply. The case was chaotic at the beginning, and there were too many questions, which made people feel a little lost.

After a while, there was a sudden knock on the door in the quiet office. Tian Mi thought it was Populus euphratica who had come, so she got up quickly and called out to come in.

The person who came in was not Populus euphratica, but a colleague who came to give away the mobile phone.

The police officer brought Wu Liang's cell phone over and answered some questions Tian Mi and Mo Dou had.

The mobile phone was picked up by someone on the side of the road less than 500 meters away from where they found the body. The person who picked up the mobile phone was a nearby resident who had no fixed occupation and no bad records.

This person was passing by on a bicycle when he heard buzzing vibrations on the side of the road. Then he found Wu Liang's cell phone. He became greedy for a while, turned off the cell phone, took it home, and listened to the family's Instigated, intending to use up the phone charges in the mobile phone card as soon as possible, and then discard the mobile phone card, but never thought that he would be located by the police soon while using the mobile phone, and the police would come to the door before he finished making a long-distance call .

This is also beneficial. In addition to the loss of call charges, this phone still retains the address book saved by Wu Liang, and the person who picked up the phone has not had time to delete everything in it.

Tian Mi checked and found that apart from the address book, the inbox and outbox of short messages in Wu Liang's mobile phone were empty.

"I really hate those men who delete all the text messages when they have nothing to do!" Tian Mi sighed angrily, "Look! When it's nothing to do, he looks very guilty, as if he has done something wrong and is afraid of being found out. Now Something happened, and new troubles have been added—possibly valuable clues have been deleted!"

Then, another problem arose. She read Wu Liang's address book from beginning to end, but she didn't find the name "Qi Bing" or any other possible nicknames.

When he was at his wit's end, Lu Xiangdong leaned over, checked his phone, and called up the only number in the address book that didn't have a name: "It should be this."

"Why?" Not only Tian Mi was puzzled, but Mo Dou beside him couldn't figure out why.

"It's very simple. Women are generally less sensitive to numbers, and most of them can't remember a series of long numbers, which is the so-called number blindness. If, as Gui Xiuqin said, Wu Liang kept in touch with his ex-wife in secret , then it is bound to be wary of Gui Xiuqin checking his mobile phone - this can be seen from the deletion of all his text messages." Lu Xiangdong did not go any further when he said this.

But even if he didn't say it, Tian Mi and Mo Dou already understood.

Without frequent text messages, it is very difficult for Gui Xiuqin to catch her with just an unnamed mobile phone number.

"You know this kind of thing so well, is it due to professional inertia, or is it a man's inferiority?" Tian Mi asked, "I personally prefer the latter!"

Lu Xiangdong shrugged: "Welcome to confirm."
