Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

On the eve of New Year's Eve, an anonymous kidnapping call blew up the bureau.

"It's a VoIP call, you can't call back - and the call time is too short, we have no way to locate it!"

"Damn, what does this mean? The kidnapper wanted to ask the police to solve the case, so he kidnapped Shao Yuan???"

"It's not bad news. At present, the kidnappers should not hurt Shao Yuan until they get what they want?"

"Day, 72 hours, then it will be next year. I have a hunch that this year I won't be able to go back for the New Year's Eve dinner again..."

On the eve of New Year's Eve, the Municipal Bureau was still brightly lit.

"Fuck, the ten-year unsolved case requires the police to solve it within 72 hours." Xia Yi paced back and forth anxiously, "If you can't find it, does this mean you want to tear up the ticket?"

Shao Lin was turning his pen to think, but now he slammed the pen on the table with a "snap", and a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes: "Solve the case in 72 hours? I can go to his uncle. Within 72 hours, we will Find the kidnapper, find Shao Yuan. Who will negotiate with him?!"

Xia Yi: "..." It makes sense.

"It is the job of the police to solve crimes, and it is not anyone's turn to kidnap and threaten them."

Shao Lin calmly analyzed: "At present, based on this phone call, we can grasp the following information points: First, the kidnapper has a certain understanding of electronic technology, and is proficient in using things such as Internet phones and voice changers. Moreover, he / She is somewhere with internet. Second, the kidnappers are very concerned about Liu Yutong, so it must be related to the disappearance. Ten years later, there are not many people who can still pay attention to a missing child so much. According to the needs of the kidnappers, this The person is likely to be Liu Yutong's relatives back then—where are Liu Yutong's family members now?"

Yan Jingjing ran all the way with the computer in her arms: "Here we come! I've tidied it up!"

Liu Yutong's family structure is relatively simple: his parents run a local grocery store, and there is a sister who is 15 years older than him.Judging from Liu Yutong's birth year, it happened to be the opening of the second child. It is estimated that the parents were young, so they gave birth to another one.

The previous house of Liu Yutong's family had already been demolished.Through the records of the housing management bureau, Yan Jingjing found that all the villagers under Xiaoqiu Peak had been allocated new houses in a community not far away.Liu Yutong's family was no exception, and got two apartments in the school district with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters.In the past few years, housing prices in Yan'an City have skyrocketed, and housing prices in that community have long been expensive.

"However, Liu Yutong's parents divorced a year after the incident, which happened to be the time of the demolition." Yan Jingjing said, "The reason is that Liu's mother couldn't bear the shock of her son's disappearance, got mad, and stopped working. Shouting 'Tongtong'. Walking on the road, I often said that I saw Tongtong, chasing people all the way, and jumping at other children—that's how the ghost story of Yanda came out."

Shao Lin nodded: "Extended Grief Obstacle."

"Anyway, Mother Liu was unwilling to go to the hospital for treatment. Father Liu forced her several times, but she bit and screamed. Father Liu couldn't take it anymore, so he simply divorced. Each of them shared an apartment."

"The parents of Liu's family were the elder sisters of Shisheng. After the divorce, Liu's father was 41 years old. He probably had a school district house as big as Yan'an City. He soon married a young girl from the village and gave birth to another son. Now The family of three lived happily ever after."

"Dad can be crossed out, it can't be him." Shao Lin shook his head, "Aside from Shao Yuan's shoe print, there was also a size 36 shoe print at the scene. A shoe of this size is likely to be a woman. There were no traces of fighting at the scene." Well, it's impossible for a woman to knock Xiaoyuan out alone and transport him away on the mountain, but a woman can deceive him, maybe deceive him to somewhere? What about mother and sister?"

"I don't know if my mother has recovered from her insanity. Anyway, there is no record in the file. My sister is an experimenter and works in the Agricultural College of Yanda University. She has been single for many years. Oh, yes," Yan Jingjing added, "Just in Last year, my sister also came to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about Liu Yutong, so she should be very concerned."

Shao Lin circled two names on the file: "Mom and sister. Pay attention to my sister. After all, if my mother is not mentally normal, it is hard to imagine that she can use Internet phones and voice changers proficiently."

Yan Jingjing nodded, and quickly ran out again.

The city council meets in the middle of the night.

In the meeting room, it was the calm before the storm.

The case went around and around, but it couldn't get around the book "Vipassana" that saw ghosts.But at this moment, the school magazine was opened and spread out on the table, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking.

Jiang Mo traced the timeline of the case—according to the file in the file room, Liu Yutong disappeared on July 7, XXXX, which happened to be the summer vacation after the end of the second year of Shaolin University.At the end of August of the same year, Shao Lin got on the plane to country S, and the magazine "Vipassana" in which his composition was printed was not published until September of the next school year.

At this moment, an old criminal policeman with a lot of experience in the team said: "The person who was kidnapped was Shao Lin's younger brother. The place mentioned in Shao Lin's article found the body that disappeared ten years ago. Liu Yutong died in Yanzhou." You disappeared near the university, and Shao Lin was studying at Yanda University at the time. Everything, Consultant Shao, can be blamed on you, and there is no one else. Maybe the kidnappers got some information and captured your brother and forced him to You turn yourself in. I advise you to confess as soon as possible, so that we all can go home early for the new year."

The man's tone was bad, probably because he planned to go home to take care of his wife and children, but now he was forced to work overtime, and his heart was terribly blocked.How many years have passed, but I have not been able to have a good Spring Festival.

Before Shao Lin opened his mouth, Xia Yi couldn't listen anymore: "Group Leader Lu, what do you mean by that? You just opened your mouth without proof and evidence, and directly beat Shao Lin as a criminal suspect. This is what our criminal police should do." something?"

"No proof?" Lu Wuxin said "Hey", pointing to the highlighted section in the school magazine, "He said he wanted to kill a little boy under a tree, but he actually dug one up under the tree. The little boy who disappeared at the same time. Is this unfounded? I know you two have a good relationship, but you are not so protective! Let me say, Xiaoxia, you are too close to the suspect, you shouldn’t be here at all. Stay on this case!"

Xia Yi was so angry that he almost couldn't stand up: "You—"

Jiang Mo tapped his thermos with the pen holder to signal everyone to be quiet.She looked at Shao Lin calmly, with a gentle tone: "Consultant Shao, it's not that the organization suspects you, but this timeline is indeed a bit of a coincidence. Do you have any information that may promote the case?"

"Yes." Shao Lin said in a low voice, "I don't think the place under the twin tree is the first place to dump the corpse."

Lu Wuxin said angrily, "He knows it again!"

"Yes. I know." So far, Shao Lin really can't hide it, so he can only confess, "When I went to country S, I set off from Yan'an, because only Yan'an International Airport has a direct flight. For me at the time, going abroad was a new journey, so in order to bid farewell to my past self, I buried something under the twin tree. You all know when you dig up the body under the tree during the day, Liu Yutong The dead body was not buried deep. But when I was digging the ground, there was no dead body under the tree at all."

Shao Lin paused: "That is to say, Liu Yutong who disappeared on July 7 was not killed at that time, or the place under the tree was not the first place to dump the body. Of course, I prefer the latter, because from Liu Yutong There was a time gap of one and a half months between the disappearance and the time when I buried something under the tree. The search for the missing Liu Yutong must be at its peak from the end of July to the beginning of August. be found."

"Listen to this, Shao Lin, don't you feel contradictory?" Lu Wuxin tapped the table with his index finger, "Before you said that when you were studying in university, you had never heard of 'Tongtong', and now you Said, at the end of August that year, you buried something under the tree, that is to say, when Liu Yutong disappeared, you happened to be at Yan’an University? The matter of Liu Yutong must have caused a lot of trouble back then, unless you had a ghost in your heart , How could you not have heard of it when you are at Yanda?"

"When the semester ended at the end of June, I left Yan'an and went back to Yanquan, so I haven't heard about the child." Shao Lin frowned, "As for burying things, it was a sudden decision before I left. It’s normal to not have heard of it. What’s more, the story of “Tongtong” spread in Yanda, largely because it became a ghost story, rather than the little boy’s disappearance itself. .”

"Okay." Lu Wuxin asked, "Can someone prove that you were not in Yan'an City during the middle of July? You went home, and your parents were in the guest house. Can they prove it?"

Shao Lin recalled for a moment, opened his mouth, and closed it again.

no.Not long after he was an adult, he couldn't wait to rent it out by himself, doing odd jobs to save money.The time is so long that it is difficult to find an exact alibi.

Lu Wuxin asked again: "What did you bury under the tree back then, why didn't you dig it up this time? Is there anything to prove that you really buried something under the tree back then, and you didn't find anything?"

"I buried a childhood relic." Shao Lin hesitated, "But this excavation... indeed... did not find it."

"Then may I ask, did you go back to get that thing later?"

"No."

"Well, there is no evidence to talk about it! You can neither prove that you were not in Yan'an in July that year, nor can you prove that you buried something under the tree. What did you bury? Was it a child or a child? What relics do you have, don’t you just open your mouth? Why should the police believe you?”

Shao Lin: "..."

"But," Xia Yi patted the table, "Shao Lin was going to go abroad that year, so what's the motive for killing a seven-year-old boy?"

"How do I know!" Lu Wuxin glared at him, "You read this article, how many pens have you spent writing that Shao Lin hates his younger brother? Maybe it was Liu Yutong's behavior that suddenly reminded him of his younger brother, and he accidentally missed it. , or killed him on purpose! There is no such thing in psychology as psychological projection, or something else? Moreover, Shao Lin said earlier that this article was not what he wanted to publish at all, and we also I went to confirm that it was his professor who submitted the manuscript on his own initiative. Otherwise, who else would know his little thoughts?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, fuck you!"

"Xia Yi, did you know him ten years ago? You didn't know this person at all ten years ago! Don't be fooled by him."

Xia Yi felt an inexplicable "thump" in his heart.

He knew that with the logic of the CD, what Lu Wuxin said was reasonable.

Back then, when he didn't know Shao Lin, he could throw people into the interrogation room and interrogate them aggressively for a long time.But after all, people's hearts are fleshy. Even now, with double standards, he is reluctant to say a serious word...

On the second basement floor of the library that day, Xia Yi recalled that he asked Shao Lin so desperately: "Can I trust you?"

He thought of Shao Lin's beautiful eyes—the long and wide eyelids, the slightly raised eye ends, and the gentle and clear water in the bottom of the eyes.That person, said he would not lie to himself.

Xia Yi felt that she was biased.

Also quite reasonable.

Seeing that Xia Yi wanted to refute, Shao Lin stomped on Xia Yi's toes quietly under the table.

"Forensic team—" Shao Lin turned his head and looked at the telephone in the middle of the conference room, "Is the forensic team still there?"

Yu Min said sullenly: "Yes."

Although the ossified corpse is not as disgusting as other corpses, it is also a very time-consuming project to sift out all the bone fragments from the soil mixed with gravel, and then reassemble them according to the human form.

"The two questions raised by Team Leader Lu are indeed existing problems. Unfortunately, I can't prove either of them. But what I just said is true. At the end of August of the year when the incident occurred, there were still No body." Shao Lin said, "I don't know when the bag was buried, but I think it is very possible that the body has been transferred a second time. I wonder if the forensic team has enough evidence at the scene to prove this? "

Yu Min was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "It's been a long time since the first case happened, and I may need a little more time."

Afterwards, Shao Lin turned his head and looked at Lu Wuxin calmly: "I really can't prove my innocence, but presumably Team Leader Lu can't directly prove my guilt either. No one is louder or more powerful than anyone else in solving a case. Let's wait for the evidence to speak." , okay? Anyway, I’m here and I’m not going anywhere.”

With Shao Lin's attitude, Lu Wuxin felt as if he had punched cotton candy.After he got over the anger of "not being able to go home for the New Year" and calmed down, he explained, "Consultant Shao, I didn't doubt you at first, but just now, I made a note with your parents."

"The main reason is that your mother suggested that you had violent tendencies when you were a child, and you were very good at concealing them. She saw you fighting with your classmates, and she had already pinned them to the ground and beat them. She also took out a knife in her hand, and her eyes were fierce. In a second, seeing an adult coming, she was able to pretend to be very well-behaved, and was wronged like a victim. Oh, another time, it was said that Shao Yuan was still in the crib, and you were playing with a knife beside it, which really scared her Not light..."

Shao Lin: "..." The cute expression on his face could hardly hold back.

Lu Wuxin said in a rough voice: "Based on this statement, I have deepened my suspicion just now. If I am wrong, I will treat you another day and apologize to you."

"No need." Shao Lin smiled slightly, "It's reasonable to doubt."

When the meeting was over, Xia Yi quietly leaned into Shao Lin's ear: "Why do I feel that what your mother said is true? Can't tell, school bully, classmate Shao Lin?"

Shao Lin looked at him tenderly, and said through his teeth: "If you dare to mention this again, I will raise the knife."

Xia Yi pretended to tremble: "Hiss—I'm so scared."

The task was assigned overnight, and multiple police departments performed their duties.

In a blink of an eye, the hour hand made more than half a circle on the clock face, and the forensic team took the lead in completing Liu Yutong's autopsy and came to the bureau to report.
