Chapter 16
【Volume [-] Haunted Telephone】

Those who forget me are enough to build a city. — Brodsky

There are always some people who leave us, and there are always some things that have not been finished.

Pick up your cell phone and check for missed calls, maybe one of the strange numbers is from someone who died.

A woman in Hangzhou accompanied her mother suffering from lung cancer in the hospital.One night, my mother got out of bed and walked out of the ward, squatting down in the corner of the corridor.The woman shouted, Mom, where are you going.Mom turned her head to look, but couldn't speak.At this time, the woman's phone rang, and it turned out to be a dream.Mom was still lying on the bed, dead.The call was made by my mother, but the mobile phone was not with my mother. I asked my family members afterwards, but no one called.

The woman thought that when her mother was dying, she might have something to say.

A high school student in Hefei did not go home on weekends and lived alone in a dormitory.Before bed, he puts his slider phone on a stack of books next to his pillow.When he woke up in the morning, he saw that the phone had slid open, but he didn't care about it. He wanted to check the time, but found that the phone was stuck on the text message editing interface, and there was a sentence on it that hadn't been sent: Are you asleep, I want to chat with you.He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember editing this text message.

Then who wants to chat with him?
There is an artificial lake in the University Town of Yingfeng City, surrounded by six universities. Every weekend, the artificial lake is very lively, and many college students play here.

There are weeping willows on the shore, and a warning sign of "No Swimming" is erected. The blue waves in the lake are rippling and lotus flowers are in full bloom.

A few students stood by the lake and floated in the water, and the stones jumped on the water, flying lightly and far.They competed with each other and cut off the lotus in the lake with stones. After a while, a huge monster floated out from the dense lotus leaves, and everyone was stunned.

There is a floating corpse on the water side.

This is the corpse of a young girl in a green dress, already rotten, with a protruding belly. It was originally hidden among the dense lotus leaves, but now it slowly floats out.The lotus leaf holds an umbrella for the corpse, like a funeral procession.

As dusk came, a sun rain had just fallen, and the lotus leaves were covered with crystal raindrops.The female corpse in the lake was undulating with the waves, and when it touched the lotus leaf, the raindrops poured into the water one after another.A branch of lotus is between the legs of the floating corpse. The pink lotus is curling up and the dark green lotus leaves are swaying. Fish play with the huge carcass.

A sharp-billed bird flew over and landed on the protruding belly of the female corpse, pecking at it continuously.

At this time, more people had gathered on the shore, and everyone saw that the belly of the female corpse was pecked and exploded by the sharp-billed bird, which exploded like a balloon, and a section of intestines flew into the air, and the bird flew away.

After the body exploded, it sank slowly into the lake.

The floating corpse in the lake frightened everyone. Several girls on the bank covered their mouths and cried, and some people vomited.

The Public Security Bureau of the University City District received a report and salvaged the female body from the lake. After visiting and mobilizing the masses to identify it, the identity of the deceased was quickly found out.The girl in the green skirt is a senior student at a nearby normal university, named Piaolian, and her mobile phone was salvaged in the lake.

Piaolian once sent a text message to her father, but her father is a farmer, he can only answer the phone and can't read the text message.

The content of the ignored text message is as follows:

Dad, I don't want to live anymore. I plan to take poison before jumping into the lake. Emotional entanglements have exhausted me physically and mentally. I'm sorry, this is too selfish. My daughter is unfilial. I will repay you in the next life and be your daughter in the next life. I will take poison first and then jump into the lake In the artificial lake outside the east gate of the school, please transport my body back to my hometown.

The sending date of this text message was three days ago. On the surface, this is a case of suicide.

However, the medical examiner confirmed that Piaolian had been dead for at least a week, that is to say, she was already dead when she sent the text message.At that time, her body was soaking in the lake water, rotting among the fragrant and elegant lotus flowers.

Bai Jingyu distributed the case files to the special case team. This case of floating corpses in the lake is very strange.

Su Mei said: It's so scary.

Professor Liang said: It is impossible for a dead person to send text messages.

Bao Zhan said: The murderer killed Piaolian, threw her body into the lake, and then used her mobile phone to imitate her tone and send a text message to her father.

Hualong said: The murderer finally threw the mobile phone into the lake, pretending to commit suicide.

Bai Jingyu said: On the day Piaolian's body was salvaged from the lake, another girl disappeared. The local police checked the case file and found that a senior girl mysteriously disappeared a few months ago and her whereabouts are unknown.

Professor Liang said: Of the three girls, one died, and the other two girls were not alive or dead.

Bai Jingyu said: Now is the time for our special case team to show their talents, let's go!

The chief of the Public Security Bureau in the University City area is surnamed Lu. He is tall and thick, with a broad face and big ears. He used to be the captain of the armed police and liked to fight.After the special case team arrived, the rough man saluted Hualong respectfully and said, "Hello, instructor."

Hualong was stunned for a moment, and after looking at it for a long time, he realized that this person had learned fighting from Hualong in the past.

Hualong looked at him and said: "It's you, Lu Tixia, why did you become like this, look at your belly, I really can't recognize you."

Lu Tiha said: Instructor, since I became the director, my stomach has become big. I used to have abdominal muscles, but now they have become pork belly. We haven’t seen each other for many years. Let’s go, I have to ask you to take care of yourself. Have a few drinks.

Bao Zhan said: Director Lu, let's wait until after get off work to drink.

Hualong said: What is the bureau chief? Xiaolu, this is my apprentice, he has learned kung fu from me.

Su Mei said: "Hey, Hualong, he is older than you, and let us call him Xiaolu, why are you so arrogant."

Hualong said: Xiao Lu is older and taller than me. When he was practicing fighting, he was beaten and cried several times by me.

Su Mei said: The big guy who picks his feet also has a lolita heart.

Lu Tijutsu is easy-going, and hosted a banquet for the special case team. During the banquet, there were a lot of cups and cups, and the conversation was very happy.Talking about the facts of the case, Lu Tixia was full of complaints, complaining that three girls disappeared and died in the university town, and the whereabouts of the other two girls were unknown in the floating lotus lake.The social influence is extremely bad, and the police are under great pressure.It was rumored that the bodies of the other two girls were also found in the lake. The parents believed it was true. They rushed to the school all the way. The school said it would actively cooperate with the police investigation. But no clues were found.The parents united and went to the city hall and pulled up a banner written in blood and wrote "Give me back my daughter". They tearfully complained to the city government leaders about the inaction of the police and the fault of the school.

Lu Tixia said: Let me solve the case for a month, it will kill me, your special case team is my benefactor.

Professor Liang said: We cannot guarantee to solve the case on schedule, we can only do our best.

Lu Tixia said: All the police officers in the bureau have been mobilized, and they have been busy for a few days, but there is no clue about the case.

The three girls, apart from the deceased Piaolian, the whereabouts of the other two girls are unknown, one named Aixi, the other named Xiao Qiangwei, all students of several nearby universities.

Piaolian and Aixi are seniors, and Xiao Qiangwei is a freshman. They don't know each other, and they are not in the same school.

Aixi has been missing for more than four months. Her family had reported the case before, but the police did not pay attention.

On the day Piaolian's body was found, her classmates reported to the police that a girl named Xiao Qiangwei was missing.

Lu Tixia extensively investigated the interpersonal relationships of the three girls, and retrieved mobile phone communication records from the telecommunications department, but found no suspicious clues.Aixi and Xiaoqiangwei disappeared, and Piaolian was poisoned with narcotic drugs and then dumped in the lake. It is difficult to draw conclusions about the nature of the three cases.

Lu Tiha said: So far, we do not know whether the three cases were committed by the same murderer or the same group of murderers.

Hualong said: Xiao Lu, you are really stupid.

Bao Zhan said: Aixi has been missing for more than four months, why didn't you investigate at that time, and now you have missed the best time.

Lu Tiha said: Missing adults usually run away from home.

Su Mei said: Judging from the photos, the three girls are all beautiful, they can be regarded as beauties. Will Aixi and Xiao Qiangwei be trafficked and sold into brothels, or imprisoned as sex slaves?

Professor Liang said: First of all, the motive for the kidnapping can be ruled out. Let's go to the lake first.

The artificial lake is located in the center of the University City, surrounded by six universities. Usually, the people who come here are college students. Even the graffiti on the pavilion by the lake seems to have cultural background. A poem is written on a pillar: just because of the past Appreciating the snow by mistake, I was sad all night until dawn.

Su Mei said: This may be written by a girl.

Bao Zhan said: Sister Xiaomei, how do you know, this font can't be seen to be written by a girl.

Su Mei said: Go to hell, sister is just guessing.

The grass next to the pavilion is a dating place for college couples, and they kiss like no one else.

Lu Tisha pushed Professor Liang and parked the wheelchair on the shore. Professor Liang was fascinated by the lotus in the lake.Hualong goes to a newsstand to buy cigarettes, and the newsstand actually sells condoms. A college student only keeps his hair down and texts, and almost bumps into Hualong.

The college student pressed the phone and said, "Honey, wait for me, I'll buy a few small raincoats first, are three enough?"

Su Mei said to Bao Zhan: He was chatting on WeChat.

This gave the special case team an idea. After asking their classmates, all three girls used WeChat.Lu Tixia copied the mobile phone cards of the three girls through the telecommunications department. Although the WeChat chat records were lost, one thing in common can be found after careful inspection. The WeChat friends of the three girls almost all met by "checking nearby people".
