Chapter 6 Two Dismemberment Cases (3)
"Every dead person was once a living person. You must know this better than me." Zheng Yuan put down the photo, but didn't rush to put it away. He still kept the backside up and put it on his knees, his fingers slowly and attached across the polyethylene surface. "I met Xiaoye when we were in college. It's funny to say that it wasn't me who wanted to chase Xiaoye back then, it was her classmate Wang Shiqi, or the police officer who beat you up." Zheng Yuan tapped the corner of his mouth to signal the look on Wu Hui's face. hurt.

Wu Hui tilted his face and spat.

"At that time, I used to go to their school to look for him. In fact, it was nothing serious, just playing ball, drinking, bragging and so on. Then one day, he told me that there was a girl in the next class who was interested in him. Every time we She came to play, and we laughed at him: "No wonder you play so badly, so you went to patronize Ding Niu.""

Then Wang Shiqi would jump over and beat him up.Thinking in Zheng Yuan's heart, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, those steaming youthful bodies ran through his mind, as fresh as if he could touch them.Later, Xiaoye finally got Wang Shiqi on the phone, and began to hang out with them in ice skating, mountain climbing, and outings. Everyone jokingly called her Mrs. Wang, but Zheng Yuan thought, she never let Wang Shiqi hold her hand.

"So I guess I'm the one you watch every time you come to the stadium." There was only a line of dark red on the fire in the campground, like a faint breath, and a few tiny sparks burst out from time to time.Zheng Yuan boldly looked at Ye Zimin who was sitting beside her, her face shone like a jade in the darkness.

"Narcissist." Ye Zimin rolled his eyes, turned around and laughed again.Zheng Yuan understood, she did not deny it.

In the last light before the fire went out, he found the courage to find her lips.The next second, he heard Wang Shiqi's screams.

Wang Shiqi insists his injury was an accident. "Wake up after taking a pee and go out to urinate, who knows that I will step on the air." He shouted with confidence, and everyone selectively ignored Er Yuelan and Wild Rose scattered all over the ground around him at that time, as well as the one picked up by Zheng Yuan. gift box.This thing was pressed under Wang Shiqi's buttocks, the light green paper shell was cracked, Zheng Yuan looked inside curiously, there was a smooth silver ring, neither good-looking nor expensive.

"It's all broken like this, can this thing be returned?" Zheng Yuan twirled the slender metal ring boredly.Ever since Wang Shiqi was injured, he became a full-time escort. He said he was an escort, but he didn’t do anything for it. When he died, Zheng Yuan suspected that Wang Shiqi was deliberately dragging him. There is also no chance to meet Xiaoye.

"Return the fart, you can keep it for yourself." Wang Shiqi collapsed on the bed and gave him an angry look.

"I don't want it, treat it as my beggar!" As Zheng Yuan was speaking, the ring slipped over the knuckle of his right little finger and got stuck.

"And you said you weren't a beggar." Wang Shiqi watched Zheng Yuan blushing and pulling down the ring, and finally laughed out loud, "If you don't want to pay it back, I'll tell you earlier."

At this time, Zheng Yuan's phone rang, and it was Xiaoye. Wang Shiqi's smile suddenly disappeared halfway, but the expression was still there, but the corner of his mouth twitched first.

"...Well, I'm still with you, there is no other injury, just the calf, the right tibia is broken... I'm sorry... I want to have dinner with you too..." Zheng Yuan accompanied me on the phone with a low eyebrow, right? Turning around, Wang Shiqi snatched it away: "Good boy, eat by yourself, I'll make a night out tonight, sir."

Xiaoye's angry voice came from the receiver: "Wang Shiqi, are you annoying? I'm his girlfriend."

"I'm still his boyfriend!" Wang Shiqi hung up the phone and threw it on Zheng Yuan's lap. Seeing that he opened his mouth to scold, he pinched a little "ow".

Sure enough, Zheng Yuan's expression changed, and he said from his throat: "Does your leg hurt again?"

Wang Shiqi raised his face: "My legs don't hurt, but my stomach hurts. Hurry up, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Can't you wait for Wang Xiong and the others to come back?" Zheng Yuanyao felt his fate being played, "I can't handle you."

"People have three urgencies. Do you understand? If you don't help me, I will pull the bed. Anyway, you will wash it when the time comes."

Zheng Yuan considered how shameless Wang Shiqi was, and finally stood up and squatted beside the bed. With a weight of 160 jin, he hit his back with a "bang ji", and when Zheng Yuan stood up straight, he found that Wang Shiqi's feet hadn't left the ground.

"Hey, why didn't I realize that you are so short before." Wang Shiqi hugged Zheng Yuan's neck and grinned.Zheng Yuan half-delayed and half-resisted Wang Shiqi's progress towards the toilet. Hearing his laughter, he knew it was almost time.It's not the first time he has snatched Wang Shiqi's things. The friendship of fighting in open crotch pants, from Transformers to Saint Seiya flash cards to limited edition basketball shoes, Wang Shiqi's martial arts will never be able to beat his outsmart, and he loses his temper as usual when he loses. Her complexion was twisted, ranging from three days to five days at most, Xiaoye must be really angry this time, two weeks.

"You've been buried like this, Xiaoye... just let it go?"

How Wang Shiqi answered, Zheng Yuan can't remember clearly, maybe it's nothing more than fake boldness and real nonsense that brothers are like siblings and women are like clothes.At that time, no one probably took the little girlfriend in adolescence seriously. Who knew that in 15 years, the little girlfriend changed from a playmate to a wife, to a child's mother, and then to a black and white photo on the tombstone.The traces of this woman in the lives of both of them were deeper than they imagined.

"That's why the officer Wang who was in charge of beating me saw you rob his girlfriend and broke his leg when he stepped on the ground more than ten years ago." Wu Hui impatiently picked his nails, "Yes, I heard that I'm very happy. But that's useless. Reporter Zheng, I'm getting more and more confused now, are you interviewing me now, or am I interviewing you?"

"Questions and answers are the lowest form of interviewing." Zheng Yuan leaned back in his chair, somehow, touching the long-lost past made him feel relaxed. "It's weird, I think we're alike, but I've never been able to empathize with you, I thought it was because I couldn't understand your motives. But then I figured it out, I can, because I want revenge. Drive a person like us The hatred that people go to kill can only arise when the most precious things are destroyed by people."

mutilated girl
Ye Zimin's death stems from another death.

In 2004, a major case occurred in the city. A completely disfigured corpse that had been cut into several pieces was packed in five electrical cardboard boxes and abandoned on five bus stops in the city.The first one to find out was an old lady who lived nearby. The domestic Teddy didn’t have a leash. When the bullshit broke the box and ran back with a piece of meat in its mouth, the old lady was so frightened that she dialed 110 five times before dialing out. .

There was a tattoo on that piece of meat, a big red rose, so gaudy and eye-catching, Wang Shiqi once thought it was a prostitute who was deceived for sex and money.However, after the autopsy, it was found that the deceased was young, no more than 18 years old, and had not been sexually assaulted before his death. There were no missing persons records matching the characteristics in this city and surrounding cities. The rumors of a perverted killer appearing in Xingsha City are rampant.

At that time, Zheng Yuan, who was still a new reporter of the Legal Weekly, published an exclusive comment. He pointed out that dismemberment and public dumping of corpses are two completely opposite demands. In order to attract attention, the inconsistency of the murderer exposed the clue that the murder and the dumping of the body may be carried out by different people.Moreover, the five bus stops where the corpses were abandoned seemed scattered, but in fact they could quickly communicate with each other through several small roads. This area is the oldest urban area in Xingsha City, and the planning is chaotic. Unless you have been here for many years, it is impossible to be so familiar with the route.He boldly speculated that this sensational homicide and mutilation case might have been committed by a local gang, and the exaggerated method of desecrating the corpse might be just to cover up the most obvious motive for the murder.

"That was the moment I was closest to the truth." Zheng Yuan's fingers stopped in the middle of the blank space. Behind that, Zheng Yuan knew, was Xiaoye's smiling face, with black hair raised, wearing a lotus-colored small lapel shirt, with a buttonhole on the top. Pinned a white orchid.

"I know it smells good. Don't be too busy to dislike it. I haven't disliked the smell of smoke on your body yet." Xiaoye gave two yuan to the old woman who sells flowers on the side of the road, and proudly jumped in front of Zheng Yuan to show off, "Look Does it look good? Does it look good?" Of course Zheng Yuan thought it looked good, he fiddled with the newly bought camera in his hand, and the shutter clicked softly as the best compliment and answer.

A month later, Xiaoye's portrait also used this photo.

"I read in the newspaper that the two of you were kidnapped together. Just because you wrote this?"

"Not together, but successively. To be precise, I first received an anonymous call asking me to give up following up on the report and stop cooperating with the police. I didn't take it seriously. That day, Xiaoye didn't come back after get off work, and her phone was turned off. 24 hours later , as a missing person case."

"And then? You and your officer Wang went out to save the world again?"

"On the contrary." Zheng Yuan had a moist bitter taste in his mouth.

Although the air was dry, he clearly smelled water vapor, which was the smell of rain, which came from the torrential rain in the autumn of 2004, day and night, and the sky was so dark that people couldn't open their eyes.

He was standing at the door of an unfinished building on the outskirts of the city, with 10 yuan in newspapers wrapped in his arms, old banknotes without consecutive numbers.He slammed on the iron door frantically in the heavy rain. In the next second, there was a muffled sound from the back of his head, and then he didn't know anything.

"When I woke up again, I was already in the hospital with a concussion and broken ribs. No one told me what happened. It was half a month later that Wang Shiqi showed me the photo sent by the murderer. It is said that there was another The brazier contained 10 yuan in cash that had been burned, and Xiaoye’s wedding ring.”

Zheng Yuan breathed out, as if he was taking a breath from the indescribable vicious resentment in his heart. "You know what happened later, there were no clues, no body, and I could only bury one of her favorite clothes in the cemetery. Sometimes I think, if I knew where the murderer was, I would kill him I will, not only kill him, but also his parents, because they bore such offspring, and his children, because such a man is not worthy of offspring."

Zheng Yuan's confession was too real, Wu Hui seemed to be hit by a bullet, and the sudden acceleration of his breathing caused invisible ripples in the dead silence.

"I said..." He leaned back in the chair and put one hand on his knee, "You tell me this, aren't you afraid that others will be wary of you?"

Hooked.Zheng Yuan clapped hands with his other self in his heart, even though the rage and sadness were still surrounding him.His prediction was right, Wu Hui's starting point for committing the crime was revenge, and that bloodthirsty pervert was just a disguised shell.Now, gaining empathy has let his guard down, and empathy is pushing him closer to himself.His posture at this moment is the best proof - all movements are exactly the same as his own, mirror images of each other.Only when a person feels trust can he unconsciously imitate the person he communicates with.

In order to verify this, Zheng Yuan put the photo in his pocket, and then stopped moving. Not long after, Wu Hui also put his hand into his pocket.

Zheng Yuan raised the corner of his mouth.

Thief
During the lunch break, Zheng Que stayed by the small pond alone, staring at the pool of stagnant water in a daze.The third child hadn't looked for him for a while, of course, Yu Wei was still there, otherwise he would be beaten to death.Zheng Que smiled wryly and touched his chin.

He certainly doesn't need friends, he's just a little bored.Quiet is good, Zheng Que thought, wishing for it.

Unfortunately, the silence was soon broken. There was a "bang bang", the sound of glass breaking, coming from the teaching building.Zheng Que stood up and saw a figure running towards him, getting closer and closer, Zheng Que's pupils shrank, and his heart skipped a beat.

It was that girl, half of her small round face was hidden in her hair, a little colorful skirt was exposed at the hem of her school uniform, her eyes were a kind of misty brown, a little light, and it was breathtaking.Zheng Que had seen her when he transferred to another school on the first day, standing briskly on the stage leading the exercises, he only knew that she was from the same school, but he didn't know who it was.Later, it seemed to be whatever I was thinking about, as long as I looked carefully, I could often see this girl, coming and going, and it became a little thought, and when I accidentally thought of it in a half-dream and half-awake, my face would suddenly heat up.

Now the girl rushed towards him, clutching her right hand, her face flustered, Zheng Que was pushed by the surge in her heart, and stopped in front of her mysteriously.

"...What are you doing?" The girl stopped her pace, frowned at him, and Zheng looked down at her hand. The palm was cut and dark red blood was dripping down, and she suddenly felt dizzy.

"You're bleeding, wrap it up first, you'd better go to the hospital." Zheng Que took out a handkerchief, after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to say "I'll help you", so he handed it over silently.The girl froze for a few seconds, then took it and pressed it on the wound, not thinking of what to say for a moment.At the stall where the two were staring at each other, a security guard shouted from the same direction: "He's running this way! Stop!"

Zheng Que almost blurted out: "You go first, I'm here."

The girl looked at Zheng Que in surprise: "You didn't even ask me what I did?"

"I'll talk about it later, let's go."

The girl tilted her head and looked at him, as if she had seen his face clearly just now, then she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Thank you." She ran away without looking back, and Zheng Zheng looked at the security guard and director who ran over in a panic, He took out the pocket knife, gritted his teeth, and pressed the snow-white edge into the flesh of the palm of his right hand.

When someone came to him, Zheng Que's knife had been wiped clean and put in his pocket.He held his head up pretending to be indifferent, trying not to look at his bloody hands.

"It's him! Look here! I found it along the bloodstains!" The security guard grabbed Zheng Que's collar, and the director helped his reading glasses, with disgust on his expression: "Okay, it's you again, the more you It's getting better and better! Do you even dare to smash the bulletin board?"

"..." Zheng Que opened his mouth, but no words came out.that girl?Smash the bulletin board?Which one is this?
"Don't say anything, go back to the Academic Affairs Office first, let's talk about the good things you have done." The director turned and left with his hands behind his back. The security guard wanted to carry Zheng Que, but he pushed hard and broke away up. "I'll walk by myself." Zheng Que held his right hand and wobbled after him.The security guard looked at the blood on his sleeve and spat in disgust.

When passing the bulletin board, Zheng Ke deliberately walked slowly. His eyes quickly swept over. Inside was the announcement of outstanding class cadres in the first half of the year. The glass was broken and stained with blood. There was one photo missing from the row of high school. It looks like it was torn off in a hurry.Zheng Que squinted his eyes, trying to see clearly the name marked below.

"What's the matter? Let's see! You still think it's a good smash!" The security guard pushed Zheng Que, "Hurry up!"

But at this time, the third child walked over with a basketball in his arms.Zheng Que really wanted to leave as soon as possible, but it was a pity that God failed to fulfill his wish.

"Hello, Director." The youngest greeted politely, and the director's face softened a little.Then his eyes fell on Zheng Que's face: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong, destroying public property! Look at it!" The director's finger flicked the glass, "I don't know what the hell is going on in the child's mind now! Good things are smashed like this! They even tear up the photos!... By the way, You came at the right time, and it was your photo that was torn up!"

Zheng Que was taken aback, and some thoughts came to his mind hazily, but it was in a mess for a while, and he couldn't come up with a clue.

The third child turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Zheng Que.

killing game

Wang Shiqi stood in a dark corridor, in front of him was a rusty green old-fashioned anti-theft door.

The investigation of the 719 line lasted for half a month. Through searching, monitoring, and door-to-door visits, the scope was finally narrowed down to the area from Fulin Street to Meixi Road in Nancheng, which is the famous slum in Xingsha City—Shuiwei New Village.Unless necessary, Wang Shiqi would not come here, not because he was afraid, but because the shadow from ten years ago stopped him.
