Criminal Investigation Chronicle

After get off work, Zhao Lei had dinner and checked the time. At [-]:[-], the police academy had just finished evening self-study, so he came to the police academy alone and arrived at the scene of the crime.As Zhao Lei expected, outside the cordon, Lin Chong, the student who left a deep impression on him, was investigating carefully, sometimes turning around the big tree a few times, sometimes thinking deeply, and sometimes going back and forth between the two dormitory buildings ...

"How is the case going?" Zhao Lei walked into Lin Chong and asked.

"The preliminary autopsy report has come out. Tomorrow morning, all the personnel of the police academy can be gathered for fingerprint comparison. If the police force is sufficient, or if we are lucky, we will find out before tomorrow night." Lin Chong didn't look at Zhao Lei, and looked at himself Said himself.

Zhao Lei didn't care about Lin Chong's rudeness, so he changed the subject and asked, "Do you have sleepwalking? When did it start?"

To this, Lin Chong did not respond, turned his head and walked towards the dormitory building, and said, "Let me know if there is any progress, this time, I will definitely catch him."

Looking at Lin Chong who left, Zhao Lei smiled awkwardly, "I was also this kind of virtue back then? Proud, conceited, supercilious." Then he shouted to Lin Chong, "Hey, young man, in September 93, Zeng Qian What happened, how much do you know? If you want to solve the case as soon as possible, you have to cooperate with me."

Lin Chong, who was about to walk away, turned his head and said word by word: "Zeng Qian was hurt. I don't know who the murderer is, but I think these two cases may be related."

"Let's find a place to talk, this is not a place to talk." Zhao Lei ignored Lin Chong's reaction and walked outside the school, while Lin Chong followed him not far or near.

At a barbecue stand not far from the police academy, Zhao Lin and Zhao Lin sat opposite each other. Zhao Lei ordered some food and a dozen beers.At first Lin Chong didn't talk very much, Zhao Lei chatted casually, poured beer for Lin Chong, and when the beer was almost finished, Lin Chong slowly started talking.After ordering another dozen beers and a portion of boiled peanuts, Lin Chong suddenly said: "Officer Zhao, I know you, you are a very good policeman, what I say next is for reference only, not as testimony, There are some things that I hope you can keep secret for me."

"No problem, junior, just tell me, Brother Zhao, I'm not a big mouth either." Zhao Lei agreed.

Lin Chong: "Officer Zhao, do you know about sleepwalking? Have you ever come into contact with sleepwalking patients?"

Zhao Lei: "I know a little about sleepwalking, but I have never been in contact with this kind of patients."

Lin Chong: "In 1993, I experienced sleepwalking for the first time. I was at home that day. After I had not slept for a long time, I got up and got out of bed, put on my clothes and walked out of the house. When my parents saw this, they asked me where I was going, but I didn't. He didn’t answer, walked to an alleyway about one kilometer away from home, lingered for more than ten minutes, then went home, undressed and went to bed.”

Zhao Lei: "Did you know what you were doing at the time, or did you have any awareness or memory of this matter?"

Lin Chong: "No, I got up as usual the next morning, went to school, and went home from school the next night. When I was having dinner, my parents told me about this incident. I was surprised and dubious. I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it. On the third day, I went to the school library to borrow a lot of books about sleepwalking. The book said that sleepwalkers are often unconscious during sleepwalking, doing some aimless things, and After waking up, it is basically impossible to recall what happened during sleepwalking, but there are also some patients who can do some difficult things during sleepwalking, such as completing unfinished work, driving, and even committing crimes. I was very scared at the time, and my parents I took me to see a psychiatrist and prescribed some medicines, which were basically sleep aids. I didn’t sleepwalk again in the next few days. After another ten days or so, I sleepwalked again. This time it was similar to last time, I I still went to the entrance of the alleyway and didn't go in. My father who had been following me woke me up on the spot, and then I realized that I was really sleepwalking, and, and..."

Zhao Lei: "And you can do some things that you don't want to do consciously. Your sleepwalking is related to Zeng Qian. The first time you sleepwalked was in September 93, right?" Zhao Lei speculated.

Lin Chong: "As you said, it is indeed related to Zeng Qian. The first sleepwalking was indeed in September. At that time, Zeng Qian and I were in the same high school. She was very beautiful and had good grades. She was very good in every way. Excellent and ignorant, I like her very much, but later, she didn't go to school for a while, and when she went to school again, she changed a lot. Before, her eyes were full of light, but later, There was no light in her eyes, she was very indifferent, and her grades began to deteriorate, like, like..."

Zhao Lei: "It's like a walking dead without a soul." Zhao Lei said for him.

Lin Chong: "Well, this metaphor is very appropriate. At that time, seeing the person I like became like that, I also started to sleepwalk intermittently. It has been going on for five years, and nothing has improved. I have seen a doctor and done some things. Treatment, but the effect is not obvious. I think this sleepwalking should be a heart disease. Later, the house is locked every night, and I turn around the house a few times when I sleepwalk. Slow down and get used to it, I don’t care much about it.”

Zhao Lei: "What was your relationship with Zeng Qian then?"

Lin Chong: "She doesn't know me at all. She is the most dazzling star in the school. I'm just a stupid boy who is stupid and studying, short and thin. I'm the kind of person who came late to puberty. , I haven’t spoken to Zeng Qian, I just sneaked a few glances at her while doing exercises between classes.” Lin Chong bowed his head in embarrassment as he spoke.

Zhao Lei: "So, do you know what happened to Zeng Qian?"

Lin Chong: "I don't know."

Zhao Lei: "Your grades have always been very good, and you are even more outstanding in the police academy. What do you think happened to her?"

Lin Chong: "I told you, I don't know." Lin Chong's tone was not very good.

Zhao Lei: "Then let me reveal an inside information to you. You can see what conclusions you can draw based on the logical reasoning you have learned in the police academy. The inspection report shows that Zeng Qian's penis is torn from the old sex." In a word, Zhao Lei carefully captured Lin Chong's emotional changes.

Lin Chong's emotions were on the verge of collapse in an instant. His eyes were filled with tears, and his expressions of guilt, remorse, despair, pity, pain, etc. changed repeatedly. At this moment, the handsome, arrogant and conceited young man turned into a helpless child.

Zhao Lei: "What are you hiding?" Zhao Lei is well versed in interrogation techniques. At this moment, Lin Chong, who is emotionally broken, has a very weak psychological defense.

Lin Chong: "It's nothing, I've finished what I have to say, I'm going back to school, Police Officer Zhao, I want to compete with you to see who catches the murderer first." After a few seconds of silence, the haughty and conceited Lin Chong back again.

Zhao Lei: "Okay." Zhao Lei readily responded. "Although he is young, he is not alarmed by changes. He has a strong psychological quality. Although he has a short-term gaffe, he can adjust in time, including the method he proposed to solve the case. Although it is a bit inhumane, it is very effective. If he is guided and grows up for a few years, he will become a great tool. This is Zhao Lei's impression of Lin Chong, and then Zhao Lei took out the piece of paper and added: Lin Chong sleepwalks in the alley.After thinking about it, I ticked September again.
