Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

Shao Yuan wiped away his tears, and replied honestly: "The book in the library was told to me by Li Mengyuan."

Shao Lin frowned upon hearing this: "Who is Li Mengyuan?"

On the night that the little boy disappeared, he asked almost all the students in the training class who had contacts with Shao Yuan.Shao Lin has a photographic memory and is not familiar with this name.

"Li Mengyuan is Chen Lingling's roommate. It seems that she is the only one who came to their school. She was booked in their dormitory when they arranged the room. At that time, we were playing in Chen Lingling's dormitory, and she was also there. together."

Shao Lin's heart twitched suddenly—wasn't it the truth or dare to go to find Tongtong in the cemetery at the foot of Xiaoqiufeng Mountain?

Shao Yuan continued: "In the next few days of self-study classes, I didn't study much. I just checked the information and found out the case of Liu Yutong's disappearance. I told my classmates, and Chen Lingling and the others didn't regard me as one. It’s just a matter of laughing at me for being mentally ill. Only Li Mengyuan believed me and said she would help me find information together.”

Shao Yuan recalled: "It seems that on the sixth night, she suddenly copied a note for me, saying that she asked her about an aunt who used to work in the Yanda Library and heard about it. Li Mengyuan said that I can read this book. At that time, I didn't think much about it, but I thought she was very enthusiastic?"

As he spoke, he also took out a small crumpled note from his pocket: "Here, this is it..."

Shao Lin's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "Then you found out about the twin trees and didn't tell her?"

"As I said, she told me where the tree is. Originally, she would go with me!"

"Then why did you go alone in the end?"

Until now, Shao Yuan felt strange belatedly: "We originally made an appointment to go to the self-study class in the afternoon on the last day before the exam, but that morning, she was suddenly picked up by her family, saying that her elders suddenly fell ill a few years ago. Heavy, I had to go back to accompany the bed to meet for the last time, so I left in a hurry without saying a word to me."

The police quickly found Chen Lingling again.

Chen Lingling had been secretly blaming herself for what happened to Shao Yuan, and was clamoring to wait for someone to come back, so she stayed in Yan'an City with her uncle.Now that Shao Yuan came back, the little girl finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She told the police that Li Mengyuan was a very quiet little girl with two braids that only reached her collarbone on her left and right sides. She had a square chin and many small spots on her face. She liked to cuddle with them, but she didn’t really talk much. .

"...Yes!" Chen Lingling reflected now, and suddenly exclaimed, "At that time, Li Mengyuan was also the first person who proposed to find Tongtong!"

Shao Yuan frowned, looking very disgusted: "Nonsense, didn't you mention it at the time?!"

"No, no, she started it! Did you forget?" Chen Lingling said, "At that time you said you chose the big adventure, Li Mengyuan mentioned that there are many ghost stories in school, I just said Tongtong! But! The earliest Tongtong It was Li Mengyuan who told us about Tong Tong. The other students in our dormitory can all testify! On the first night we were chatting without falling asleep, and what she told us about Tong Tong..."

"During the big adventure, I was already repeating what she said!"

Li Mengyuan's problem is too big.

Shao Lin quickly contacted the head teacher of the training camp. During the first test, Li Mengyuan did well in the test, and the whole camp was at the upper-middle level.He asked the school for Li Mengyuan's contact information.The little girl is from Fuxing No. [-] Middle School in Yan'an City, but now the contact information of her parents is no longer available.

The head teacher said that he didn't have any more information: "These students are recommended by the school, and we are only responsible for training and selection here."

But when the police finally contacted the Academic Affairs Office of Fuxing No. [-] Middle School in Yan'an City, they found out that there was no student named "Li Mengyuan" in Fuxing No. [-] Middle School, let alone recommended.Moreover, during the training camp selection review, this name never appeared from the beginning to the end-after the list was made, students increased or decreased due to scheduling issues and some internal relationships.It was at that time that Li Mengyuan was added without anyone noticing!

After checking now, no one knows the origin of this little girl.

It was a short-term training class, and there was no special photo taking to make a student ID card. The police could only use the school's surveillance to capture a few backs of the little girl and a very blurry side face.From the looks of it, she was indeed just an ordinary junior high school girl.

The clues come to an abrupt end here.

What's even more strange is that Liu's mother insisted that in the past few days, a "little girl" entrusted her with a dream, saying that she could see Tongtong again under the tree on the mountain, but Liu's mother was delirious and spoke inconsequentially. Information is difficult to refer to.

But Shao Lin couldn't help guessing that if the "little girl" Liu's mother was talking about was Li Mengyuan, then she had successfully led the way between Shao Yuan and Liu's mother—and why?Looking at her age, Liu Yutong was only four or five years old when the accident happened.How did she know there was a dead body under that tree?What is the relationship between her and the person who buried the body?

At the same time, the police devoted 100% of their energy to Liu Yutong's case.

According to the files left ten years ago and the memories of Liu's father, Liu Yutong disappeared at around 05:30 in the afternoon.Seeing that it was time to eat, but before the children came home, Mother Liu sent her eldest daughter, Liu Yumeng, to call her younger brother home on the way home from get off work.After all, Liu Yumeng works in the laboratory of Yanda University, and only needs to climb a small hill to go home.

Liu Yutong loves to play, this kind of thing is not once or twice.Fortunately, the place where he plays is relatively fixed, which is how he used to call children back.

But that time, when Liu Yumeng was walking on the road, she called back and said that she couldn't find her younger brother where Tongtong usually played, so her parents asked her to look elsewhere.Liu Yumeng walked around Xiaoqiu Peak, and after more than an hour, she came home and said that her brother was gone.At that time, the family went door to door in the village and asked about it. Many people helped to go up the mountain to look for it, but they couldn't find it.

The Liu family called the police that night.

Ten years ago, because the police had not been able to find the child's body, a lot of information was missing, and there was no point to dig deeper. In the end, the case was labeled as "human trafficking", which was very common at that time, and it was dismissed.

But now that the body has surfaced, the police can be sure that the child was still alive when he experienced falling from a high altitude, suffocation, and even being buried in a bag before his death.This is not kidnapping, but naked murder!

In this way, the first person to look for Liu Yutong at that time, her sister Liu Yumeng, naturally became the focus.

On the morning of the fifth day of the fifth day, the flight that Liu Yumeng had just landed at Yan'an International Airport, the police were already waiting at the place where the plane got off the plane, conducting a surprise question-and-answer session.

But when Liu Yumeng learned that her younger brother had been found, her face was filled with shock.She covered her face with tears and kept asking the police where the body was found.Neither Shao Lin, who has a background in psychology, nor the experienced criminal investigators on the field found a single flaw in her reaction.

Liu Yumeng swore that she had no knowledge of the burying of the body under the tree, and then stated how she went up the mountain to find her brother.

The polygraph all the way green light, did not indicate a problem.

She said that further south from Xiaoqiu Peak, there are four large bare rocks.Although it has now become a scenic spot and added guardrails, there were only four big rocks back then, and a few places were quite dangerous.Liu Yutong usually likes to play wildly in the mountains, but when the sun is about to set, he will definitely go to the top of Jushi to watch the sunset.

As a result, the child was not there that day.

A lot of other relevant information has been carefully sorted out in those years.For example, there are few children of the same age in the village, and Liu Yutong has no regular playmates on the mountain.For another example, the Liu family's parents run the only grocery store in the village, with favorable prices and a good reputation. Their son lost the whole village to look for, and it seems that he has no enemies.Moreover, during the week that Liu Yutong disappeared, Yan'an was always sunny, and the mountain would not be slippery.

The case hit a bottleneck again.

In the conference room, someone in Xia suddenly had a big brain hole: "Suppose, the child accidentally slipped down the mountain, fell unconscious and survived, and in the end, a pervert randomly passed by, buried the child and hid the child, and completely killed him." Leaving the mountainous area. There is basically no possibility of solving the case, right?"

Yan Jingjing was expressionless: "Team leader, with your special brain circuit, it is not recommended to work in the criminal investigation department here."

Jiang Mo frowned, saying that it is not impossible for passers-by to be abnormal, but if it is an unrelated stranger who commits the crime—such as a wild mandarin duck whose affair was broken—it is really difficult to find traces ten years later.

"There are not so many perverts in the world." Shao Lin said slowly, "Let me analyze it a little bit."

"There is no vertical cliff on the west mountain. According to the terrain of the west mountain, there are only two possibilities to fall into Liu Yutong's fracture. One is that after the fall, the child rolled down the steep slope and hit his head on the rock on the way Falling into a coma—it was summer, and this situation would inevitably lead to multiple bruises all over the body, as well as pressure marks on the vegetation. But when searching the mountain, neither the police nor the police dogs found anything, so I think it’s OK Rule out that possibility."

"Liu Yutong's fall must have been very clean and neat. He directly hit a large hard surface, and the fracture did not even bleed. I have visited Xishan in the past few days, and I think the only possible occurrence of the second situation is, It is on the four boulders that Liu Yumeng mentioned."

"According to the records in the previous case, the aunt at the village entrance said that Liu Yutong was very lively like a monkey. He could climb the most dangerous 'ladder' on the boulder alone at the age of four or five. Since it didn't rain that day, there was no sky. It's completely dark. Unless the child is suddenly ill, I think the possibility of Liu Yutong slipping and falling can be basically ruled out. There is a high probability that he was pushed down."

"It's just that our biggest problem now is whether the child was murdered deliberately, or was the murderer's whim, just like the example Jiang Fufang just gave, such as suddenly crashing into something he shouldn't have seen and being killed."

"If it was a deliberate murder, it must be an acquaintance who committed the crime. But the Liu family has a simple family relationship and there are no conflicts between neighbors. This has been figured out back then. If it was a whim, the murderer's window of crime is actually very limited. According to the file records, the child At 03:30 in the afternoon, I bought popsicles alone from the grandmother at the entrance of the village. At 05:30, my sister disappeared when she was looking for someone. She called at around [-] o’clock and said that she could not find the child. There is only a two-hour window for something to happen. Impulsive murder There is a high probability that the murderer will not be able to clean up the crime scene. Moreover, if it was a whim, where did the black body bag come from? What kind of person usually carries such a big bag with him?"

Although the bag wrapped around Liu Yutong's body is dilapidated, if it is restored, it should be a 1.2m long rectangular parallelepiped bag with a cross section of 45cm*45cm square, which can be used to check in luggage.

However, the material texture of this bag is not a checked luggage bag that can be used repeatedly, and there are no words or patterns on the surface. It is more like a packaging bag for some large-scale express delivery.

"After the murderer put the child into the bag, he filled it with soil and hid it in a place that he didn't find when he searched the mountain. This further shows that the murderer is very familiar with the whole West Mountain..." Shao Lin's face turned pale when he said this Suddenly, all the dots were connected, "Grave mound! Those small, artificially cut gray stones in the soil are broken tombstones in the mound! I stepped on the spot that day, and I walked by. That's Liu Yutong's first place. Bury it!"

The police interrogated Liu Yumeng again and asked, "Did you bury Liu Yutong's body in the mass grave at the foot of the mountain?" Several lines on the polygraph suddenly rose and fell like an electrocardiogram before sudden death.Normal people can't react like this.

An unsolved case ten years ago was finally pierced through the last layer of paper windows.

"It is true that you never hid the body under the twin tree on the top of the mountain, so the lie detector did not respond. As for the process of your search for Liu Yutong, most of it is true information, and the point of 'you did not kill', you have already Ten years of countless times of self-brainwashing have domesticated your brain and made it believe it is true."

"So the lie detector didn't catch you lying before."

Shao Lin quietly looked at the woman in her early thirties, and asserted: "Liu Yumeng, you are the one who killed my brother."

Liu Yumeng stared at Shao Lin for a long time, and finally, she leaned on the back of the chair as if losing strength, and let out a long breath.She looked very unwilling, but she seemed to be finally relieved.

She was silent for a long time, and then slowly confessed: "...my mother is a very patriarchal person, in fact, so is my family, and everyone in the whole village is. Since I was a child, my mother gave birth to a girl I can't hold my head up in my in-law's house, and everything seems to be inferior to others, not as good as my aunt who gave birth to a son."

"So, when the second child was released, she was so happy that she told me every day, Mengmeng, mother will give you a younger brother, okay?"

After so many years, Liu Yumeng was still extremely angry when talking about this matter, and her eyes suddenly became fierce: "Not good. It's not good at all!"

"Although I refused 1 times, my mother still conceived the second one without hesitation. At that time, she went to the countryside to see some kind of black clinic, and it was confirmed that it was a boy before she was born."

"I was only 15 years old at the time, and my child's crying in the middle of the night not only affected my senior high school entrance examination, but after school, weekends, holidays, I have to take care of the child. Every time I quarrel with my parents, say you Take care of the stupid kid you gave birth to, and just scold me again, saying that I am a heartless little white-eyed wolf."

"I hate him so much, I want to strangle him every day."

Shao Lin: "..."

"Later, when I grew up, I had a boyfriend in college. When I heard that I had such a young brother, I felt strange. I once wondered if I was pregnant when I was young, and I gave birth to my parents. , but it pissed me off. Later, I changed a boyfriend, and it turned out that I heard that my family had a little brother. His mother heard that my parents loved my brother very much, and said, "Marry a wife, not a brother who helps your brother." It's messed up again. You said that having such a younger brother will do a lot of harm and not a single benefit!"

The more Liu Yumeng said, the more she gritted her teeth: "At that time, the family was going to be demolished, and we could divide two houses. As a result, I overheard my parents discussing behind their backs that they would live in one house and give the other to my brother! Married out It's useless to give me a house for the water that the girl poured out, so I'm going to live in my future husband's house."

The matter of demolishing the house and leaving it to the younger brother became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Liu Yumeng was really murderous.

"It was getting late that day. I went to ask him to come back. The child was still fighting with me. He was disobedient. He lay on the rock and made faces at me, insisting that I go up and catch him. I managed to climb up and catch him. He came down, but he laughed at me for being fat like a pig and crawling slowly." Liu Yumeng suddenly stopped, her eyes lost focus, and seemed to be looking at a farther place.

After a while, she contorted a smile: "At first, I wanted to poison the little devil to death with rat poison, but I was so angry at the time, I couldn't help but pushed him down."

Liu Yumeng works as an experimenter in the laboratory, and is responsible for signing for large batches of experimental equipment. Those bags are very big, and it would be a pity to lose them, so she intends to recycle them and take them home.She was worried that the child would wake up and file a complaint, so she simply cut the weeds and rooted them out.

Back then, the mass grave at the foot of Xiaoqiu Peak had not been cleaned up in the scenic area, and everyone was quite taboo, so few people went there.But Liu Yumeng, who is very familiar with the mountainous area, knows that there is a tomb under one of the tombs. I don't know how many years ago it was, but a hole was opened.The hole was just big enough for her to stuff the bag in.

The tomb had been severely damaged. She kicked it a few times, and the mound above it collapsed, perfectly covering the entrance.Years of buried objects near the grave also blocked the smell, making it difficult for police dogs to detect clues.

Such a corpse has been buried there for many years. The gravel and soil on the mountain have fallen and collapsed, and new vegetation has grown on the mound.

Gradually, no one mentioned the missing little boy anymore.

"But my mother," Liu Yumeng snorted coldly, "the son is gone, and her soul is also lost. Every day, she goes up and down the mountain to look for her son. At that time, there were often bones of dead people found in the graveyard. She When I found it, I went to the police station and said I found my son, but I didn’t know whose grave it was. She dug up too many bones, which annoyed the police, but I’m afraid! I’m afraid that one day, This bag was really dug out by her! In the past ten years, my life has been difficult."

Shao Lin couldn't help but directly asked the question he was most concerned about: "So, how did that corpse get from the mass grave at the foot of the mountain to the twin tree on the top of the mountain?"
