No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 17 Revenge
The projection switched photos following Han Ruowei's narration, and the fatal wound of the deceased Zhao Chen appeared on the projection.

"The cause of death of the deceased was excessive blood loss. The murderer removed the external genitalia of the unconscious deceased and allowed him to die of blood loss. According to the stiffness of the corpse, the condition of the plaques, and the residual dose of sodium phenobarbital in the deceased Look, the deceased was injected with drugs at nine o'clock last night, and the time of death was between eleven o'clock and twelve o'clock at night."

Under Han Ruowei's signal, the projection screen switched again, and the photo changed to a photo of the deceased Zhao Chen lying under the big cypress tree.In the photo, Zhao Chen was wearing a white shirt and slim trousers.The posture of the hands is very natural, the left arm is turned up and placed on the left side of the body, and the right hand is placed sideways on the right side of the body.Zhao Chen's face was cold and pale, with a serene expression.

"The deceased was changed into clothes after death. Judging from the traces of corpse spots caused by the oppression under the deceased's body, the time when the murderer moved the deceased to the top of Huangyin Mountain should be between one and two in the morning."

After listening to the description of Han Ruowei, the head of the forensic team, Guo Junfeng talked about the situation he investigated: "Today I mainly investigated the source of the deceased's clothes. According to the brand of the clothes, I went to several stores in Xijing City that sell such clothes According to the introduction of the salesperson of the specialty store, the underwear on the deceased’s body was not the latest model this year. So so far, there is no clue to the source of the underwear on the deceased’s body. Although the underwear is not new, it is a classic model , the sales volume has been quite high in recent years.”

Then came Song Chunming. After finding the apartment rented by the deceased Zhao Chen, he went to investigate. When he searched the bedroom room used by the deceased as a cloakroom, he found that there was at least one condom in all the clothes and pants with pockets in the closet. .The laptop on which the deceased had stored selfie videos was also found in the bedroom.And at the bottom of the bedside table, a large number of receipts issued by the hospital were found, all of which were anonymous abortion receipts.

"In addition, according to Mr. An's findings, the deceased Zhao Chen did have the habit of finding part-time workers to clean the room every week. I immediately contacted the labor service company to confirm this. If the customer has no special requirements, the part-time workers arranged by the labor service company are basically the same. Personally, the part-time worker who has been cleaning Zhao Chen’s room went back to his hometown the day before yesterday to celebrate his old mother’s birthday, and he will not be back until tomorrow. According to the clues provided by the deceased’s neighbors, the deceased had a black car. The investigation found that the car was not parked where it often stops .I informed You Tao of this clue."

After listening to Song Chunming's investigation, Luo Gang asked You Tao to follow up: "I went to the traffic control department to retrieve the monitoring at the intersection near Huangyin Mountain last night, because the road construction near Huangyin Mountain has recently been constructed, and the monitoring that can be retrieved is not available. Not many. According to the information provided by Chunming, there was indeed a suspicious dark car at the intersection leading to Huangyin Mountain. However, the license plate of that car was removed, and it is not sure that it is the black car of the deceased Zhao Chen. car."

Listening to everyone's speech, Luo Gang frowned more and more: "I went back to the scene of Huangyin Mountain. According to the comrades who conducted the on-site investigation, I found several inconspicuous roads on the gravel road leading to the platform of Dabaishu. Scratches. According to tests, the scratches were caused by metal wheels. That is to say, in the early hours of the morning, the murderer probably drove the deceased’s car to the gravel road on the top of Huangyin Mountain, and then used a cart to transport the goods. The cart used to push the corpse onto the platform along the gravel road."

After finishing speaking, Luo Gang motioned to Zhuo Qingshan, Zhuo Qingshan cleared her throat, and fully narrated the investigation between her and An Youlin.An Youlin tilted his body, seemingly listening to Zhuo Qingshan's narration, from confirming the time when the deceased Zhao Chen last appeared in Xijing Normal University, and what his roommates and former roommates thought of Zhao Chen, and so on.

After listening to Zhuo Qingshan's report, Luo Gang asked An Youlin: "Mr. An, according to everyone's report just now, have you found any clues?"

An Youlin's distracted eyes gradually retracted. He scratched the mustache on his chin with his hand. This habitual action made everyone focus on him.

"Let me tell you, there is absolutely no problem with the direction of our investigation." An Youlin's words seemed to comfort Luo Gang who thought the case was still clueless, "According to the deceased's roommate, this Zhao Chen, ah, and his colleagues The roommates in the dormitory are not very familiar. Just imagine, a boy who has lived with his roommate for less than a year, how familiar can he be with his roommate?"

"However...according to what I learned from my visit to Xijing Normal University in the morning, although the deceased seldom stayed in the dormitory, he usually did not miss classes. If you say you are not familiar with it, it seems a little unreasonable, right?" Song Chunming shook his head slightly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if you go to college, especially boys, you lose the element of living under the same roof. The so-called familiarity can only be called polite." An Youlin continued, "For example, we learned that the deceased had a car. I got the information from his neighbor next door."

Song Chunming nodded thoughtfully. "After chatting with the deceased's roommate, I found out that there were rumors in the Normal University that the deceased had a chaotic relationship with many girls. Later, I went to the house rented by the deceased and found clues to confirm these rumors." An Youlin suddenly turned to Song Chunming, " I said brother, have you checked the semen spot on the chair in the dead man's bedroom?"

Han Ruowei, head of the forensic team, said: "We arrived at the scene shortly after you left. According to the test results, the sperm spots belonged to the deceased himself."

"What about the hospital receipts that the deceased hid under the drawer? Why did he keep so many receipts?" Zhuo Qingshan asked puzzled.

"I'm afraid this has a lot to do with the murder of the deceased," An Youlin reminded Song Chunming, "tell everyone about the condom found in the drawer."

Later, Song Chunming told everyone about the discovery that there were holes in the condoms found in the drawer.Suddenly the meeting room fell silent, and everyone fell into perplexed contemplation.

"A hole in the condom?" Guo Junfeng whispered to himself.

"Yes, but not all condoms have holes, about half of them." Song Chunming explained.

Zhuo Qingshan, who was silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Could it be that some girl did this on purpose? Maybe some girl wanted to tie the deceased's heart? The deceased Zhao Chen's family was rich and his appearance was outstanding..."

"No, no, the hole in the condom was actually made by the deceased himself." An Youlin further explained, "This can correspond to the clue that the deceased collected the hospital receipts."

"You mean, the deceased deliberately punctured the condom to impregnate the girl he slept with? Then he took the girl to have an abortion?" Guo Junfeng expressed his doubts.

"That's right, I just talked with the deceased's mother, Ding Xiaoli, and learned about the childhood experience of the deceased Zhao Chen from the side."

Guo Junfeng tried his best to recall the conversation between An Youlin and Ding Xiaoli. Before An Youlin returned to the criminal investigation team, Ding Xiaoli kept crying about the pain of losing her son, hated the murderer, scolded the school for inaction, and blamed the police for not handling the case until An Youlin arrived. She described the reasons for her estrangement from her son... "During the deceased's childhood, the divorce of his parents was a very serious negative event for him. After the parents divorced, the deceased's mother Ding Xiaoli tried her best to prevent the deceased from meeting his father. Lack of a typical role as a father. Later, the father who was unable to see his son died of alcoholism. This incident dealt a great blow to the deceased who was still young at that time..."

Guo Junfeng, who was fascinated by this, couldn't help asking: "But what does this matter have to do with the deceased's condom breaking?"

"Hate and revenge." "Revenge?"

"The deceased blamed his father's death on his mother, and at the same time he fell into a love-hate conflict, with his father on one side and his mother on the other. As an adult, the psychological impact of childhood was finally magnified, and he Revenge on the girls he slept with. It was symbolic for him that he broke the condom and impregnated the girls he slept with."

"Mother? A pregnant girl symbolizes 'mother'?" Song Chunming exclaimed. "The pregnant girl symbolizes the 'mother' to the deceased, and the abortion operation means the punishment for the 'mother', in order to alleviate his hatred for his mother Ding Xiaoli. This is why the deceased kept the hospital receipts, and he often took out The receipts hidden under the drawer to comfort my heart and achieve inner satisfaction..."

Listening to An Youlin's explanation, Zhuo Qingshan subconsciously imagined a strange picture - under the dim light in the middle of the night, Zhao Chen pulled the lower drawer of the bedside table, reached into the dark cavity and took out a stack of receipts.Then he sat on the bed and stared at the receipts one by one, each of which he carefully recalled the process that led to this result, with a satisfied smirk on his face...
