Department of Psychology Forensic

Chapter 38 The Cat and the Mouse
The silver moon hangs high, the night is hazy, and only the sound of wind and crickets can be heard in the quiet campus. The street lights stretch the silhouettes of the two security guards very long, making them look even more lonely.

The two stood in front of Building No. [-] and stopped one after another, staring at the closed door in silence.

"What's the sound?" The suspicious security guard's face suddenly became ugly. In this quiet environment, he could clearly hear some rustling and rustling sounds, which combined with the strange lights they had seen before, made people feel uncomfortable. He was even more frightened in his heart.

"thump!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the source of the sound was the trash can at the door of Building No. [-].

The two security guards were taken aback by the sight.

Immediately afterwards, a little wild cat jumped out of the trash can, holding a black trash bag in its mouth. Under the reflection of the street lamp, some dark substances could be faintly seen in the bag.

"Meow~"

The little wild cat seemed to feel the eyes of the two security guards, and turned to look at them. The cat's eyes glowed with creepy colors under the light, and then jumped into the grass and disappeared.

"Old Wang, let's forget it. We are here to work. We can't make much money a month. Don't risk your life for this. If there is a ghost inside, we will be finished!" trembling.

"Don't yell!" Wang Tong felt a little bit trembling in his heart.

"Old Wang, we are here to make money, not to work hard. Let's go back and pretend we didn't see it, okay?" The security guard's mentality was about to collapse.

"This door..." A look of doubt flashed in Wang Tong's eyes, leaving the security guard behind, he took the lead and quickly walked towards the door of teaching building No. [-], raised his hand and pushed gently, and the door opened.

"Ghost! It must be a ghost! I remember very clearly that we locked the door, why did it suddenly open!" The security guard's face was pale, and it was obvious that he was in fear.

"Don't yell!" Wang Tong's back was covered with sweat. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, but the atmosphere at the scene was too weird. He was panicked by the security guard's yelling, and then said in a deep voice: "I Suspected that thieves entered the building, when we were downstairs, we saw a figure flickering on the fifth floor, indicating that he was still in the building, we can't ignore this matter!"

"Hehehehe..." The security guard didn't answer, and sneered.

"We are still working now. If the school really loses something, we can hardly shirk the blame. At that time, it will not be a matter of deducting wages, and maybe compensation will be required. Do you understand what I mean?" Wang Tong said coldly, now He realized that the flickering lights in the room should be thieves looking through things.

"No, I'm afraid, someone in the school has already died, how can you guarantee that it's not a ghost but a thief?" The security guard's mentality has collapsed, "And, if it's a big deal, you'll pay, you can't make fun of your life!"

"Okay, that's it. If you're afraid, stay in the security room and watch the surveillance. Let's lock the door and I'll deal with the thief." After Wang Tong opened the door of Building No. [-], he said with a very serious face: " In this way, even if we didn't catch the thief, at least we worked hard, so we won't be said to sit idly by."

"Can you do it by yourself?" The security guard's mentality eased a lot, but his heart was still beating wildly at the thought of being alone in the security room, and he said, "How about I call Lao Li and the others and call them all?" come over?"

"Whatever." Wang Tong gave a hard look, feeling that his partner was worthless, and said, "As long as you don't let that thief escape through the front door, I'll lock both back doors first, and you can watch me on the surveillance camera." I'll go up layer by layer and give him a catch, and when I catch someone, open your eyes to see clearly if it's a human or a ghost!"

"You, you, you... you're awesome... let's go!" The security guard was really scared, he didn't dare to go up at all, but seeing what Wang Tong said, he couldn't be too cowardly, so he walked in The teaching building turned towards the security room on the right, and the voice immediately became much quieter, and the momentum became weaker, and said, "I'd better call Lao Li and the others over."

"A worthless thing!" Wang Tong's contempt was no longer concealed. He walked to the wall and turned on the light, and the first floor of the teaching building suddenly became brighter.

There was no one in the empty corridor, and it was extremely quiet. The closed classroom doors cast shadows under the light, which looked like mouths lurking in the dark, which might catch people passing by at any time. People devoured.

Such a scene even Wang Tong, who has always been bold, felt a little bit trembling in his heart, but this was still within the range he could bear.

Wang Tong walked to the two back doors of the teaching building, and after confirming that the internal lock had not been opened, he took the key to perform a second lock.

In this way, even if a thief walks to the back door, he cannot open the back door at all and cannot escape.

Wang Tong went up to the second floor from the nearest stairs. Even if the second floor was in darkness, he could still quickly touch the switch to turn on the light based on his understanding of the place.

The classroom in the dark is many times more terrifying than in the daytime. Even the security guards who are familiar with the terrain are extremely nervous before turning on the lights.

After turning on the lights, the second floor was bright and transparent, and there was not even half a figure in the bare corridor, which made Wang Tong unconsciously relieved.

He didn't believe in any ghosts and gods, and he believed in his heart that there was a thief coming upstairs, but he wasn't quite sure where the thief was. The corridor shrouded in darkness would give him an instinctive fear of the unknown. After the reflection, this fear was much lessened.

Wang Tong looked up at the surveillance camera in the corridor, waved his hand at the surveillance camera, and forced a smile. Then he held the anti-riot stick in his hand and bravely walked up to the third floor.

just
He doesn't know.
The security guard sitting in the security room stared at the monitor on the screen, his face was already extremely pale.

Except the first floor is bright, other floors are dark!
"Old Wang, you don't know how to turn on the lights when you go upstairs. I can't see you in this darkness, and" the security guard was terrified, and said, "I dare not stare at this kind of surveillance! "

When Wang Tong reached the third floor, he was about to repeat the action on the second floor, blacking out the lights in the corridor, when he heard some faint voices.

These sounds immediately made him straighten his body, approaching one side of the wall, holding the anti-riot stick tightly in his right hand, ready to deal with sudden situations at any time.

Wang Tong continued to be in such a tense state for more than a minute, but he had never felt such a long time.

The voice seemed to be doing something, and there seemed to be background music, but it was intermittent, very fragmented, and couldn't be heard clearly.

Wang Tong's forehead was already covered with cold sweat. If he had encountered such a situation before, he would not have been so frightened. It was because that companion said a lot of haunted words, which paved his heart into an atmosphere of fear.

do not be afraid!
No ghosts!
There can be no ghosts in this world!
The whole body is pretended!
It's just one or two thieves!

Wang Tongzhuang boldly walked towards the direction where the lights in the corridor on the third floor were turned on. He walked a short distance for more than three minutes before arriving. He narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to avoid the light from irritating his pupils, and then quickly turned on the lights.

"Snapped!"

With the crisp sound of the switch, the lights in the corridor on the third floor also turned on.

Nothing at all!

"call……"

Wang Tong couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Even if he didn't want to, he still had to admit that he was under a lot of pressure, his back was covered with sweat, the security uniform was tightly attached to his back, and his palms holding the riot stick were soaked. up.

Continue upstairs.

When Wang Tong went up the stairs to the fourth floor, the voices in his ears became louder and louder, and he realized that he was getting closer to the truth.

This time he still didn't turn on the light so quickly, but waited for two to three minutes on the fourth floor, and slowly rubbed along the wall to the switch. When he turned on the light, there was a cold white light in the corridor. nothing.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Wang Tong gasped for breath continuously, while controlling the noise he made. He knew that after such a simple inspection of the fourth floor, only the fifth floor was left.

The lights on the first to fourth floors were turned on.

There was no one in the bright corridor.

"You can't run away!"

Wang Tong cheered himself up in his heart, his eyes turned hard, and he was mentally prepared to fight the thieves. He took a step and walked up to the fifth floor.

As soon as he stepped on the stairs from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, he smelled a faint smell, which was neither foul nor pungent. It was a bit like the powdery smell of cosmetics.

That's right, that's the taste!
Wang Tong is no stranger to this smell. In the past, when female students walked by him in school, the air would always be filled with this smell.

It's just... This kind of smell tends to dissipate as people walk by, and it is the first time he has encountered it being able to linger on the stairs.

When he reached the fifth floor, the voice became more real, and he heard it faintly. It didn't seem like someone was talking, but more like something was playing...

There is obvious light in the dark corridor, and various shadows are constantly flickering, which are reflected into the corridor through the small windows on the classroom wall.

Wang Tong immediately realized that the light and shadow he saw downstairs were still there, corresponding to that classroom.

The thief is still in the house!
Wang Tong cautiously squatted down and walked slowly along the wall, making no noise as much as possible, so as not to disturb the thieves in the classroom, and did not turn on the lights.

Gradually, he walked to the door of the classroom, and suddenly found that the door of the classroom was ajar, with lights and shadows flickering inside, the voices he heard became louder, and the smell of cosmetics became stronger.

He slowly poked his head towards the crack of the door, looked inside, and saw two people sitting side by side behind the two-person desk in the classroom, both women with long hair, looking at the tablet computer placed on the desk.

The screen of the tablet computer is very bright, and it should be playing a video. Those rhythmic lights and shadows flickered from the screen. The light reflected on their faces and reflected on the ceiling.

A very simple sound effect plays from time to time during video playback in the tablet.

Wang Tong had heard this sound effect before, and he was very familiar with it. Under the stimulation of this terrifying atmosphere, he immediately thought of what kind of sound effect this video was.

cartoon!
The classic cartoon "Tom and Jerry" is playing on the tablet.

"What are you doing?!"

Wang Tong suddenly got up and shouted, and at the same time picked up the anti-riot stick and pointed it at the two of them, preparing to have a head start and give the two of them a head start.

but……

His roar did not attract the attention of the two of them!

The two women still sat motionless in the classroom, pretending to be staring at the screen, as if they hadn't heard anything.

Suddenly, an ominous premonition surged in Wang Tong's heart. Instead of walking forward, he turned on the classroom light.

As the lights came on, the whole picture of the classroom was presented in front of Wang Tong.

"This...this...this..."

Wang Tong's eyes widened, his pupils shrunk violently, his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, his heart suddenly beat wildly, and the frightened blood rushed straight to the top of his head, resisting the urge to shout out.

In his sight, two women had weird makeup on their faces.

Among them, the face of the woman on the right is covered with thick foundation, and the eyes are painted with eye makeup that looks like thick eyebrows, which looks like a circle, and the bright red corners of the mouth are turned down, revealing a kind of unhappiness of eerie fear.

The other face also had makeup on, but it was that of a plastic mannequin.

These two faces brought great visual impact to Wang Tong at this moment.

"Dead... dead..."

At this moment, Wang Tong seemed to realize the problem. With trembling hands, he took out his mobile phone and called the police.

……

Zhou is sitting at the desk of the forensic center, constantly flipping through the surveillance video on the computer.

This is the last week's surveillance video of the teaching building of the art department uploaded by the trace inspection department to the dossier.

The teaching building of the Art Department is an old building. There are four floors in total. There are only 3 surveillance cameras on each floor, but there are 12 cameras in total. In addition to the surveillance video in the piano room, there are 13 cameras. Things, if you want to find any clues, the workload is quite heavy.

However, Zhou Zheng was relieved that, except after the murderer blocked his view at 6:[-] this morning, everything recorded by the camera was still there.

"Ring Ling Ling..."

At this moment, Zhou Zheng's cell phone rang, and the caller ID read "Section Chief Cui".

His heart flustered a little. Normally, Master would not call him when there was nothing to do, but when the call came, it meant something was up.

Immediately, he connected the phone.

"Zhou Zheng, there is a murder case in Building No. [-] of Jiangshi University. I will go directly from home. You go with Xia Yan and the others. We will meet at the scene." Cui Jun said on the phone.

"Yes." Zhou Zheng responded immediately, his face becoming ugly.

Sure enough, another homicide happened!

When he was doing the portrait of criminal psychology, he felt the murderer's emotion in the strong sense of ritual at the scene, thinking that the murderer would commit crimes again.

It's just that the frequency is too fast!

Two cases in one day!
"Ring Ling Ling..."

Before Zhou Zheng could think about it carefully, the phone rang again, and it was Xia Yan calling.

Zhou Zheng got up immediately, and while running towards the criminal police team, he connected the phone.

"I'm coming over now."

There was a kind of determination in Zhou Zheng's tone, and he had a very strong premonition that when he went to see the new scene later, there was a great possibility that he would get more clues about the murderer.
