conspiracy crime 4

Chapter 30
Although Fan Zetian tried his best, he still couldn't help yawning. He was a little sleepy when the phone in his waist suddenly rang, which startled him. When he answered, it was the criminal policeman who was squatting in the old man's house in the backyard. Old Zhao called: "Captain Fan, that monkey is back."

Fan Zetian thought he heard it wrong, and asked, "Really?"

Old Zhao said, "Yes, we have already caught him."

Fan Zetian said "OK", heaved a sigh of relief, hung up the phone, and informed Wen Li, Xiao Li and the criminal police on the roof that the escaped monkey had been caught, and it was in Mrs. Hou's house, let's go and have a look.

Everyone got excited and ran to the backyard in a hurry.

As soon as he entered Boss Hou's room, he saw that Boss Hou was catching a monkey and stuffing it into a cage.

Old Zhao pointed it out and said it was this guy.

Fan Zetian took a closer look, and saw that the monkey was yawning profusely and tearing up, as if he hadn't slept for several days and nights, and he didn't have any energy at all.

He suddenly understood, and asked Boss Hou, "You fed marijuana to the monkeys, didn't you?"

Boss Hou didn’t shy away from it, saying: “Yes, if you catch mountain monkeys, let them be addicted to marijuana first, so that they can’t leave me, and then it will be much easier to train them.”

Fan Zetian said: "This monkey probably smokes some marijuana every night? That's why you figured that no matter how far it escapes, it will come back to you obediently at night, right?"

Boss Hou nodded and said, "Yes."

Fan Zetian asked, "Where did you catch these monkeys?"

Boss Hou said: "It was caught on a barren mountain in Xinye County, Henan, where I live."

Fan Zetian was taken aback, vaguely feeling that something was wrong. Xinye, Henan Province is at least a thousand miles away from Jiuhou Mountain. No matter how powerful the monkey escaped from Jiuhou Mountain, it would be impossible to run to the top of the mountain thousands of miles away.Therefore, Meng Zhaonian's claim that the monkeys of Jiuhou Mountain came back to revenge and kill people cannot be established.

Fan Zetian felt that something was wrong, and before he could think about it, he saw a young man stumbling towards him and shouted: "Comrade policeman, it's not good, something happened, something happened."

Fan Zetian took a look and recognized him as one of the four security guards patrolling around Meng Zhaonian's bedroom. His heart sank and he asked, "What happened?"

The young man gasped and said: "Just now we were patrolling outside Chairman Meng's bedroom, and suddenly we heard him screaming loudly in the room, and he kept saying that the monkey is coming, and then he said don't kill me, don't kill me. The four of us called the door outside, but no one answered the door. We wanted to slam the door in, but the door was too tightly bolted from the inside, and we couldn't push it open at all..."

Fan Zetian was taken aback, thinking, could it be that we have fallen for this monkey's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain?
Immediately took Wen Li and the others to the front yard, passed through the second gate, and just entered the front yard when they heard a creepy scream coming from Meng Zhaonian's bedroom: "Oh, help, monkey, don't kill me!" ,Do not kill me……"

The shout was also mixed with the scream of the monkey, as if he was fighting the monkey.

Fan Zetian quickened his pace and ran to the bedroom, the room suddenly became quiet, and there was no more sound.

Fan Zetian yelled Mr. Meng Lao, Mr. Meng Lao, but there was no response from the room.

The three security guards of the patrol team were banging on the door desperately. Although the door was old in style, it was quite thick and strong. In addition, there were two latches inside, and it was still motionless after being knocked down by three guys for a long time.

Fan Zetian said to the security guard who reported to him, "Go to the kitchen and get the ax."

The young man woke up like a dream, and immediately ran to the kitchen and took a long-handled axe.

Fan Zetian picked up the axe and slashed at the bedroom door several times, finally splitting the wooden door open.

Everyone rushed in to have a look, and couldn't help being stunned.

Wearing pajamas, Meng Zhaonian rolled under the bed, a hole was knocked in the top of his head, blood mixed with brains flowed all over the floor, and his death was exactly the same as that of Meng Kai and Huang Jingui.

Meng Zhaonian's face was distorted and his eyes were wide open in horror. It can be seen that he was greatly frightened when he was about to die.

A pointed hammer was thrown beside it, and it was stained with blood.

Fan Zetian stepped forward to check his breath, he had already died.

He looked at the bedroom window, it was still closed, there was no sign of being pried, and the roof above his head was intact, no abnormality was found, and when he remembered that the door was also bolted from the inside just now, his heart skipped a beat, and he said in a low voice: "The murderer may still be in the house."

Xiao Li immediately drew out his gun and guarded the door.

Wen Li and several other criminal policemen also took out their guns, followed Fan Zetian carefully, and searched the room carefully. They even lifted the bed board to check. There was no one else in the room, nor did they see a monkey. .

Fan Zetian rushed outside again, raised his gun and searched around the yard, but still found no trace of the murderer.

Police trace inspectors soon arrived at the scene. After investigation, apart from the police and Meng Zhaonian's own footprints, there were no other people's footprints at the crime scene.

The forensic doctor Lao Qin preliminarily concluded that the pointed hammer left at the scene was the murder weapon that killed Meng Zhaonian, and Meng Kai and Huang Jingui should also have been killed by the same murder weapon.

However, the police only extracted Meng Zhaonian's fingerprints on the murder weapon, and did not find the murderer, or any trace left by the fierce monkey.

In other words, the murderer entered the bedroom with the doors and windows completely closed, and immediately disappeared out of thin air after committing the murder, leaving no trace or clue.

What kind of murderer is this?Even if it is really a monkey, it is impossible to enter the room through the wall, come and go without a trace.

With regard to the serial murder case in Meng's old house, the police initially focused on suspecting Boss Hou and his three monkeys in the monkey troupe. But when Huang Jingui was killed, Boss Hou was in the police detention room. When Meng Zhaonian was killed, he He and his three monkeys were also not at the scene. Later, after careful investigation by the police, he was finally ruled out as suspected of committing the crime.

But if the murderer wasn't Boss Hou and his three monkeys, who would it be?

Before Huang Jingui was killed, someone saw a monkey sneak into his room; when Meng Zhaonian was killed, Fan Zetian heard the sound of the dead man fighting with the monkey in the bedroom.

Could it be that the murderer was really a monkey?
But when Meng Zhaonian was killed, he was in a secret room, even if it was a monkey, it would be impossible to get in through the crack of the door and kill someone, unless it was Monkey King.

The police investigated this case for more than three months, but there was still no clue, and it turned out to be an unsolved case.

A few months later, after working overtime one night, Fan Zetian and forensic doctor Lao Qin went to a street stall to drink beer.

While talking about the murder case in Meng’s old house, Lao Qin suddenly said: “Team Fan, a classmate of mine came to visit me from the countryside a few days ago. My classmate is a Chinese medicine doctor and opened a small town near Jiuhou Mountain. The medical clinic is quite famous in the local area. He told me that two days before Meng Zhaonian died, he was called by Huang Jingui to see Meng Zhaonian."

Fan Zetian gave a "hmm" and said, "I know this. After Meng Kai was killed, Meng Zhaonian was overwhelmed with grief and was in poor health, so he called a doctor. Didn't they say that Meng Zhaonian was in good health?"

Lao Qin shook his head and said: "No, no, my classmate said that when he took Meng Zhaonian's pulse, he found that his pulse was very strange. At the beginning, the pulse was very fast and thin, but when he checked the pulse later, he found that his pulse was neither sinking nor floating. It's normal, look at it after a while, the pulse is beating extremely fast again, and two completely different pulse conditions appear alternately. My classmate has practiced medicine for decades, and has never encountered such a bizarre thing. In the end, he couldn't find out the reason , I had no choice but to say that there was no serious problem, and prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine to soothe the liver and regulate qi."

Fan Zetian said, "What does the pulse mean very fast and very thin?"

Lao Qin said: "According to my classmate, this kind of pulse has gone beyond the scope of medicine he understands, and it doesn't even look like a human pulse. He also said that he had healed an injured monkey many years ago. After illness, Meng Zhaonian's strange pulse is a bit like a monkey's pulse."

"Like a monkey's pulse?" Fan Zetian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he jumped up from his chair and said, "I seem to understand. Lao Qin, let's go back to the game right away."

He didn't eat supper, and drove Lao Qin back to the police station immediately, and pulled out the files and evidence materials of the murder case in Meng's old house. Among them was a CD, which recorded the second day of June taken by Huang Jingui with a DV machine. In the evening, the monkey troupe performed a video of the monkey king worshiping birthday.

Fan Zetian put the CD into the computer and stared at the video screen.

When he saw the monkey offering birthday peaches to Meng Zhaonian, and Meng Zhaonian saluted the monkey in return, he suddenly stopped the camera and asked Lao Qin if he found anything?
Lao Qin rewrote this short video and said, I have two discoveries. First, when the monkey approached Meng Zhaonian, Meng Zhaonian seemed to shiver inadvertently. Second, look at the monkey he respected. Ritual, it doesn't seem like a deliberate imitation, but rather...

Fan Zetian stared at him and asked, "What does it look like?"

Lao Qin said carefully, "It seems like an instinctive reaction."

"That's right, I have the same feeling." Fan Zetian slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Based on the new clues I have now, I have the following reasoning. You graduated from a medical school and worked as a doctor before. Please come from a medical school. Let’s see if it can be established.”

Lao Qin nodded, expressing that he was all ears.

Fan Zetian walked around the office with his hands behind his back, and said in thought: "Over the years, because of people's indiscriminate hunting and eating of wild animals, 'SARS' and 'bird flu' have been rampant. The brain is infected with a certain monkey disease. This virus is usually latent in the body and cannot be detected at all, but once in close contact with monkeys, it can cause the virus to flare up and produce some unexpected physiological lesions. Theoretically, My inference should be valid, right?"

Lao Qin nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. You mean that Meng Zhaonian was infected with some kind of monkey virus, so he split into two people, or split into one person and one monkey. He is a normal person during the day. Man, at midnight, he turns into a monkey, and he is also a monkey determined to avenge the same kind eaten by Meng Zhaonian on Jiuhou Mountain, so in the middle of the night, he uses a pointed hammer to beat the monkey to eat the brain like Meng Zhaonian Similarly, he killed Meng Kai and Huang Huangui who were crazy about hunting monkeys in the mountains. Because he is short and thin, and walking is completely the habit of monkeys, so some people saw his back in the dark and mistook him for What a monkey. Because he was the murderer, he left traces such as footprints and fingerprints at the scene of the crime, which would not arouse the suspicion of the police. The most important point is that he did all these things like sleepwalking. When I woke up, I didn't know what I had done."

Fan Zetian followed his own train of thought and said: "If this point can be established, then after Meng Zhaonian was killed in the secret room, no trace left by the murderer could be found, which makes sense, because it was not someone else who killed Meng Zhaonian, but He himself, or another Meng Zhaonian who has turned into a monkey. The sound of humans and monkeys fighting outside we hear is actually the sound of Meng Zhaonian's original self and animal self entanglement."

Lao Qin said: "Team Fan, your bold reasoning, although it makes sense in theory, actually has no clear evidence to support it."

Fan Zetian thought for a while, and said, "If it is true that his body has undergone a certain mutation due to infection with a certain virus, we should be able to find some clues through the pathological examination of the corpse, right?"

Old Qin said: "It should be possible. But now Meng Zhaonian's body has been cremated long ago, and it is impossible to undergo any autopsy."

Fan Zetian let out an "oh", frowned and said, "It was indeed the people from the Meng family who were in a hurry, otherwise I would have wanted to put the body away, and maybe I could have found some more clues from the deceased. By the way, now the Meng family How's the situation?"

Lao Qin said: "I heard that Meng Zhaonian's daughter-in-law Qiaozhen was very strong and drove her elder sister Meng Jiao out of the Meng family's old house. Qiaozhen took over all the Meng family's property. By the way, don't you remember?" It was also Qiaozhen who urged to cremate Meng Zhaonian's body."

Fan Zetian said "Oh" again, unable to speak.
