Serial

On July 7, I became a suspect in a serial murder case and was interrogated at the Xucheng Police Station for a day and a night.

The person who interrogated me was Xiao Tan, their team leader. I met him once before, a month ago.

"Su Hanxue..." Xiao Tan was sitting opposite me at the moment, in the closed interrogation room, dazzled by white woven lamps, "Professor?"

I nodded, "It's me."

"What were you doing on the night of April 7th?"

"Sleep at home." He has asked this question thirteen times, from day to night.It's already ten o'clock in the evening, and I can't help showing fatigue.

Xiao Tan took out a few photos from his bag and put them in front of me, "Do you recognize this one?"

I looked at it, it was a live photo.

"do not know."

Xiao Tan tapped his finger on the table, "He died of drug poisoning, and was splashed with sulfuric acid after death."

"so what?"

"You're a professor of chemistry, aren't you? These chemicals are easy for you to get."

I sighed, my head was dizzy, usually at this point I was ready to sleep.

"Officer Xiao, you asked me this question a month ago."

The photo was of the victim. Looking at it from a distance, it might as well be a pool of rotten flesh. There were only those eyes, staring, a little scary.

This case is very simple. Someone covered the victim's mouth and nose with a wet wipe, and died of poisoning. The autopsy report has already come out.After killing the victim, the murderer dragged her to the woods, disemboweled her, cut off her limbs, dug out the internal organs, boiled them, and buried her back.

The next day, the residents heard an explosion and found a burning car. Because the car was very close to the woods, they called 119 for fear that the fire would burn too much.The body was not found until the fire trucks came to put out the fire.

To be precise, they didn't find the corpse, but saw a pair of unsettled eyes.The whole body of the victim was buried in the soil, leaving only a pair of eyes, looking directly at the sky, which made people feel extremely ironic.

Then the police arrived, cordoned off the scene, dug out the body, and were about to move it back, but felt something was wrong.

The body is lighter.

When I saw it later, I found that the stomach of the corpse had been sewn up and the internal organs were missing.

After several searches, the internal organs buried deeper were found under the buried body.

Xiao Tan was in charge of that case, and I was unfortunately involved in that case because I lived nearby.

But that was a month ago. At that time, I also came to the police station to take a statement, and I had the same problem.But the difference is that a month ago I seemed to have been cleared of suspicion, but a month later, because of another case, I was the most suspected.

It was also quite unlucky to encounter two homicides within a month.

"The deceased's name is Tian Tian, ​​a foreigner. He came here for a self-driving tour and drove to the vicinity of Jingyang Road. He was killed." Xiao Tan repeated meaninglessly, which annoyed me a little.

"The murderer was very smart. He burned Tian Tian's car and left no clues." Xiao Tan lay back, frowned, and took out a cigarette from his bag, "But he gave Tian Tian's internal organs If it’s cooked, it must have been cooked at home, so the murderer is someone from the neighborhood.”

"You can get meth and sulfuric acid, and you are a resident of this neighborhood. You must be the only one."

Xiao Tan licked his lower lip, looking at me like a hunter.

"I've already said it, it was a month ago." I looked at him, but he didn't budge, and it looked like I had to repeat it again.

"I'm just a chemistry teacher. There are many people who have meth and sulfuric acid. Chemicals, medicine, and even home production. And as I said, I was sleeping when the incident happened."

"But that doesn't mean you're not there, right?" Xiao Tan raised his eyebrows, feeling excited.

"There is surveillance in the laboratory, didn't you check it a month ago?" I took off my glasses and rubbed my temples.sore eyes.

Xiao Tan curled his lips, "I went to investigate. You are serious about experimenting, but how can I, a layman, know what kind of experiment you are doing? What if you are making dangerous objects in front of the camera? What if you are Made at home?"

"You probably searched the house once? And I'm not the murderer, why should I kill her? I don't know Tian Tian."

Xiao Tan stretched out his hand and pointed to another photo, "What about this one?"

I glanced at the second victim, different from Tian Tian's rotten one, this one is bloody.That's the case that kept me here all day.

"do not know."

"I really don't know you?"

"I really don't know."

Xiao Tan took back the photo, looked at it carefully, and then pointed to a place in the photo to show me, "But let me see, this is the door of your house?"

I lowered my eyes, there was nothing on the table except for the photos, "She died at my door, is there any inevitable connection with me being the murderer?"

Yes, the second homicide happened right outside my house. While I was sleeping, a woman was brutally murdered outside my house. Blood splattered everywhere, and traces could be found on the door frame and the wall.

The deceased this time was called Zhang Ping, who lived several streets away from here, and his identity was a gangster.She was dragged to my door in the middle of the night, first cut off her tongue to prevent her from making a sound, then cut off her limbs and tortured her to death.

All this was seen by neighbors who woke up early, and immediately called the police, and I was taken to the police station at noon.

I was originally a suspect in the first case, and now I am a suspect in another case, how could such a coincidence happen.

Either way, it's a dead end.

In the end, I spent the night in the police station, but the next day a different person came for interrogation, a woman, and I later learned that her name was Dong Mian.

Dong Mian brought me soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks. I thanked him and started to eat breakfast.The physical exhaustion did not dissipate because of this, Xiao Tan seemed to be fighting me to the death last night, and I didn't know how many times I said "I don't know".In the end, it was early in the morning, and he wanted to continue asking, but I couldn't take it anymore, so I went to sleep, and he ignored everything he said.

I know, I'm just a suspect, and criminal suspects have human rights.In the end, Xiao Tan should have gotten sleepy too, muttered "Professor Su is a fastidious person" and left.Thank goodness.

Dong Mian is not as simple and rude as Xiao Tan, she will chat with you about family affairs, but I am not very willing to answer, because she will reveal all your family background, which is more powerful than the census.

"Where is Professor Su's high school?"

"Xucheng University."

"Chemistry professor?"

"Yes." I took a bite of the fritters.

"Does Professor Su have no relatives?" Dong Mian asked casually. I looked up and found her smiling at me.

"No, I'm an orphan." When it comes to loved ones, I'm not very happy.

"Oh..." Dong Mian expressed understanding and smiled friendly, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." I took a sip of soy milk, the taste was too bland, I flushed it with water.

Seeing my frown, Dong Mian said, "This soy milk is not good. I don't understand why Team Xiao always buys it there."

I was a little surprised: "Captain Xiao bought it?"

"Yeah, last night, the police station where he slept, got up early in the morning and bought breakfast for everyone." Dong Mian shrugged, but when it came to Xiao Tan, she was always gentle.

What else can I say, I can only bury my head in eating fried dough sticks.

"When did Professor Su live on Jingyang Road?" Dong Mian asked nonchalantly.

"Don't call me Professor Su, just call me by name." I swallowed the last mouthful of fried dough sticks, clapped my hands, and Dong Mian handed me a tissue.

"Thank you," the paper towels now have a smell, but I don't like it very much, "I moved here three years ago because I happened to be teaching at Xucheng University, so it was convenient."

Dong Mian waved her hand, "Farewell, I think it's a bit weird to be called by your name." After she finished speaking, she felt impolite again, so she smiled awkwardly, "I didn't mean that, I just thought you were young We all have a kind of admiration for intellectuals!"

"Is it like a girl's name?" I wanted to laugh a little. I used to feel ashamed of this name, but as I got older, few people laughed at it, and I accepted it over time.

"that is not what I meant--"

"Then," I hesitated, "when can I leave?"

Dong Mian was a little embarrassed, looked around and said to him, "Well, well, you know that you are so suspected, if you are released, what if there is a fourth victim?"

"The fourth?" My voice was a little louder, "Isn't this the second case?"

"You don't know?" Dong Mian seemed more surprised than I was, "This is the third time, the second time is under the Hengtai Park overpass, don't you know?"

I really don't know.

After thinking about it, I finally sighed.Fortunately, it's almost summer vacation now, so I don't have to go to class.
