monologue

Chu Xingmu saw wear marks in the sliding windows and grooves, which are very new. Most of the windows in multi-storey residential buildings are very tight, and the opening and closing are not very convenient, so the wear marks of the grooves and window frames can be seen at a glance as new Still old.

The cosmetics on the dressing table are neatly arranged. The makeup on Su Ai’s face has not been removed, and her complexion is even more pale and ugly after death. The half-drinked whiskey in the living room shows that Su Ai once received someone at home, and the person who came should be a Male, Chu Xingmu noticed that there was something missing from the fruit plate on the table in the living room.

Chu Xingmu took over the so-called suicide note from Xiao Shan. It was just a piece of paper with a poem written on it and put it together with antidepressants. The paper read:

That day, I guessed for the first time, the horse's head, facing eternity.

Chu Xingmu came out of the bedroom, walked to the opposite side of the sofa, and caught a glimpse of Wen Ti who was leaning on the wall directly outside the door and playing with her mobile phone, so Chu Xingmu turned around and walked out. Wen Ti noticed that someone was walking towards him, When Chu Xingmu just stepped out, Wen Ti turned off her phone, raised her head and showed a standard smile: "May I ask Captain Chu, what else can I do?"

"What's your relationship with Su Ai?" Chu Xingmu asked.

Wen Ti said: "Ordinary friends are not even considered."

"Then why did she text you?"

"It's up to you to check this by yourself. I just called the police according to Su Ai's request. I don't know anything else. I know you will keep looking for me during this time, so I left my address to that little brother." Wen Ti pointed to Tang Zhe who was busy moving things, and then turned her gaze to Chu Xingmu, "I hope you catch the murderer as soon as possible. Su Ai's sister is still waiting for her sister to visit her in the hospital."

Wen Ti asked again: "Captain Chu, is there anything else you want to ask? I have class at nine o'clock. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Chu Xingmu looked at Wen Ti for a long time, and finally could only let Wen Ti leave.

Wen Ti and Wen Xiangqin, Tang Yi and Huang Qing, Su Ai, Zhang Yu, Xu Ruolin, Liu Ziyi, what is the connection between these people?

In the Public Security Bureau, Xia Ci reported the details of the severed hand case to Li Yaomin. Jiao Feng had already pleaded guilty, and when Zheng Shan's mental appraisal results came out, Hu Hanying's case could be closed.

At the same time, Lang Lang went to a funeral home on Sanshan Road, Bai Yao went to a community on Wutong Street, Zhao Chen went to a gallery on Ryder Pedestrian Street, Qi Shaocheng went to a sculpture gallery on Zhongshan Road, and Jiang Qingshan went to West Lake road antique shop.

If they look at the map of Qingshi at this time, they will find that the place they are going to just forms a cross on the map, centered on the funeral parlor, with a street in the southeast, northwest, respectively: sculpture hall, gallery, community, and antique shop.

Wen Xiangqin and Xu Ruolin's investigation was fruitless. Wen Xiangqin has been investigating where Huang Qing went that night in private. After he came out of the bar, he never saw Huang Qing again, but he met Tang Yi. They were in the underground at that time. We met in the garage by chance, and Wen Xiangqin borrowed Wen Ti's car. When he got in the car, someone knocked on the glass of his car door. Wen Xiangqin lowered the window and found that it was Tang Yi. Afterwards, Tang Yi apologized to Wen Xiangqin. Wen Xiangqin didn't give him a good face when he heard about the contract and project, and the two broke up unhappy.

As for why Wen Xiangqin deliberately diverted the attention of the people from the Public Security Bureau to Wen Ti on the matter of the medicine bottle, it was just to cause trouble for Wen Ti. Wen Xiangqin and him are like old enemies. , I won’t let you be at ease, but Wen Xiangqin’s actions annoyed Chu Xingmu. Chu Xingmu took care of the two cases, but let Wen Xiangqin play tricks on him. , maybe Wen Xiangqin can find a chance to meet Chu Xingmu.

The relationship between him and Chu Xingmu eased a little, but because he himself obstructed Chu Xingmu from handling the case, the two returned to the freezing point. Chu Xingmu has not lifted his vigilance against Wen Xiangqin until now. Wen Xiangqin was watched all night.

After Chu Xingmu and others collected the team and returned to the police station, he took Tang Zhe to the hospital again. It had been a day since Liu Ziyi's car accident. Liu Ziyi was transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward. Vague.

Chu Xingmu didn't plan to pry anything out of Liu Ziyi's mouth now, Tang Zhe followed Chu Xingmu into the hospital, the two of them went all the way unimpeded, but when they reached the door of Liu Ziyi's ward, they saw two plainclothes policemen guarding the ward Outside, Chu Xingmu first said that he was going to visit Liu Ziyi, but the two plainclothes policemen said they could not go in casually, so Chu Xingmu took out his police officer ID in desperation, and then went in smoothly.

Liu Ziyi was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes open. He turned his head slightly to look at the door when he heard the door opening, and turned his head back when he found someone coming. He had been waiting for the people from the city bureau. It started when it ran towards him.

"I'll ask you a few questions, you just need to nod or shake your head." Chu Xingmu pulled out the chair under the bed and sat down.

Liu Ziyi's ribs were broken, his chest was severely injured, and his head was wrapped in thick gauze. He is still unable to speak. According to surveillance, the perpetrator went straight to Liu Ziyi. At that time, Liu Ziyi was the only person on the sidewalk. The one who turned the corner at the intersection and ran straight into Liu Ziyi didn't slow down at all.

Chu Xingmu asked Liu Ziyi: "Do you know Huang Qing?"

Liu Ziyi shook his head slightly, eyes half closed.

"Second question, have you ever made a deal with someone else?"

Liu Ziyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Okay, the third question, besides changing the time of death in the autopsy report, what else did you do?"

Liu Ziyi continued to shake his head.

Tang Zhe didn't quite understand, so he heard Chu Xingmu say: "Your mother wanted to see you, so she called your master yesterday, and your master told her that you were on a business trip."

Liu Ziyi, who was still calm at first, suddenly opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth to speak, but because the wound was involved in the movement too much, cold sweat immediately flowed down his face.

Chu Xingmu pressed Liu Ziyi, who was a little excited, and asked Tang Zhe to find a doctor. Tang Zhe hurriedly opened the door and went out. Chu Xingmu approached Liu Ziyi. The two were very close, and Liu Ziyi's eyes flickered.

Chu Xingmu asked: "Who is it?"

Liu Ziyi moved his lips, and Chu Xingmu saw that he had said a name. At this moment, doctors and nurses hurriedly opened the door and came in. Chu Xingmu stepped aside, watching the doctors and nurses help Liu Ziyi to check the wound, Liu Ziyi His reaction was pretty much what he had expected.

In the afternoon, Yin Zhou sent the investigation results of Liu Ziyi's collision to Chu Xingmu. The perpetrator was a robber with a criminal record. He had been in prison for five years and had just been released. According to his account, someone found him and gave him a sum of money. Money, the condition is to help the other party kill a person, and the other party also promised to arrange for him to leave Qingshi after the matter is completed. The man has never met his employer. After Liu Ziyi was hit, the other party did not fulfill his promise. The branch office caught it, because the other party contacted the perpetrator every time by public phone, after some investigation, they only found out the bank account that transferred money to the perpetrator.

Public security bureau, conference room.

Lang Lang and others returned to the bureau one after another after their visits, and Xia Ci held a small meeting on the case of Hu Hanying and Zheng Shan.

"The case of Hu Hanying can be closed. Intentional murder, Jiao Feng is the principal offender, and Zheng Shan will be punished as an accessory. Also, how did the investigation of the source of the ten hands go?"

Lang Lang said: "I have been to the funeral home on Sanshan Road. According to the staff of the funeral home, Zheng Shan had worked in the funeral home for more than half a year and was fired by the funeral home at the end of last year. Transported 23 corpses. The reason for his dismissal was that Zheng Shan was mentally ill. He often observed the corpses in the mortuary room. He kept muttering while transporting the corpses. At first, other staff members thought he was serious about his work, but something went wrong after a long time. Shan often talked to the corpse, and other people who worked with him were frightened by his behavior, and the people in the funeral home were very frightened, thinking that he was a ghost, anyway, after a series of strange actions, the curator dismissed Zheng Shan.”

"Later, Zheng Shan found a job in Changqing People's Hospital to look after the mortuary."

Bai Yao opened her notebook, sorted out the collected information, and said: "The deceased Ye Yu, female, 25 years old, lived in Room 608, Xingyuan Community, Wutong Street, died in August last year, and was an employee of an advertising company before her death. Signed a hand model, the cause of death was suicide by taking sleeping pills, the possibility of homicide is ruled out."

Zhao Chen circled a name with a pen, leaned on the chair and said: "There is a gallery in Ryder Pedestrian Street, which specializes in selling Chinese paintings. The former store manager Wu Hui, 62 years old, died of a sudden heart attack at the end of August last year. According to his According to my daughter, who is now the manager of the gallery, Wu Hui’s funeral affairs are all handled by the funeral home.”

Qi Shaocheng went on to say: "The deceased Wu Zheng, 46 years old, was the curator of the Zhongshan Road Sculpture Museum. He died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in September last year. He liked to collect sculptures during his lifetime. He had a lot of collections in his sculpture museum. He himself was an avid sculpture collector. "

When it was Jiang Qingshan's turn, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The antique store on West Lake Road not only sells antiques, but also sells coffins. Of course, they are all cremated now, and the coffins are decorations in his store. Last November, someone He found that he died in the coffin, and he left a suicide note, saying that he knew he was going to die soon, and hoped to be buried after death. This also explained why he died in the coffin, and the neighbors nearby thought it was very evil. Contact The relatives of the old man in the antique shop seemed to know that there would be such a day sooner or later. Similarly, they handed over the funeral of the old man to the funeral home, and he was cremated in the end.”

Xia Ci thought for a while and said, "The ages of the deceased are different, and the occupations are also different. You didn't ask the family members of the deceased if they had seen the dead body in the end?"

"I asked, and many of them were taken directly to the funeral home. When the relatives saw them, the corpses were all intact, and the corpses were not kept for a long time," Lang Lang said.

"Which funeral parlors were these dead people cremated?" Xia Ci asked.

Except for Lang Lang, the other four looked at each other and said in unison, "Sanshan Road Funeral Home."

"That is to say, when Zheng Shan was a corpse transporter, he used his status as a corpse transporter to touch the corpse, cut off the hands of the deceased before cremation, and then used something to take out the hands of the deceased. This is why the corpse was cremated. The former is complete, and the reason for leaving a hand after the burial."

"How abnormal is Zheng Shan's psychology to do such a thing?"

"Maybe it's spiritual?"

Xia Ci stood up, the multimedia curtain behind him slowly lowered, Xia Ci turned on the projector, and the pictures of severed hands taken at Zheng Shan's house were displayed on the screen.

Xia Ci started from the first one: "This hand is wrapped in tinfoil, and activated charcoal is also placed. Activated charcoal absorbs odors, but it is basically useless at this low temperature. This severed hand, according to the length and size of the bones, can be It was judged that it was a woman's hand, so this hand should belong to Ye Yu, and there was a hand cream with Ye Yu's hand, and the hand model used in the hand cream advertisement was exactly Ye Yu."

"By analogy, Chinese paintings, sculptures, antique objects, books, frozen sugar figurines, pastries, wool, wood carvings, stone carvings, and clothing design drawings are placed in other freezers."

"Did you find anything?" Xia Ci looked at the few people and asked.

Zhao Chen tentatively said, "A collection?"

"anything else?"

"Like... a collector, who collects the hands that make these things. For Zheng Shan, these hands are far more valuable than handicrafts." Bai Yao said.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became serious. These dead people had favorite things and collections during their lifetime. The master of Chinese painting collected Chinese paintings, the hand model lady collected various hand photos, the sculptor collected exquisite sculptures, the antique store manager collected antiques, candy, etc. Human hawkers are good at making all kinds of sugar figurines, pastry chefs like to make exquisite and unique pastries, knitters are good at crocheting various handicrafts, woodcarvers and stone carvers can carve unique and exquisite works, and fashion designers design out fashion...

"How can a person know the identities and information of so many dead people and have close contact with the corpses of the dead? Know what their occupations were before they were alive?"

"The corpse transporter handles the corpse. As for the identity, I would like to express my condolences to the family members of the deceased. The family members who are immersed in grief need comfort the most. Just ask a little, and they will be able to tell the truth about what the deceased did before he was alive."

"So Zheng Shan committed the crime randomly?"

"Maybe there are other reasons."

"The results of Zheng Shan's psychiatric appraisal have come out. He is delusional schizophrenia. He thinks he is a collector. However, considering such a meticulous modus operandi, under what circumstances do you think he committed the crime? If it was when he was ill During the period, during the year when Cong Zhengshan lived in the community, he had an attack every month, and every time he had an attack, he chopped off a hand?"

"Zheng Shan, a native of Jiangshi, came to Qingshi a year ago. He was fostered by relatives since he was a child, because he was born in excess and has no household registration. His parents are far away in Jiangshi. Before he left Jiangshi, he had a history of illness. symptoms, but so far has not received formal psychiatric treatment, a person without household registration and ID card, travel is hindered, so he often chooses to live in a neighboring city, and the resident information handed over to the property company is that he stole his own So my cousin’s names include the name Zheng Shan.”

"In this way, Zheng Shan relies on his work in the funeral parlor and morgue to pay for the rent and utility bills? And can he afford to live in a high-end community?" Qi Shaocheng asked.

"This starts with the morgue of the hospital. When we arrested Zheng Shan, he was about to attack a corpse," Lang Lang said.

"Do you mean?"

"Reselling human organs."
