Dangerous Personality

Chapter 24 Insomnia

In the rental house, the traces of the crime have obviously been cleaned up, and the original appearance of the house can be seen at a glance. It is a small single room of more than 50 square meters, with not much furniture. Stayed a month ago.

There is even a third bowl of takeaway left on the simple plastic table that can be folded away.

The bottom of the red oil soup was solidified with a layer of mildew. The bean sprouts and bean curd sticks left in the soup were faintly visible. The chopsticks were set aside, and there were scattered paper balls on the table with lipstick marks on them.

The house was actually a bit messy. The deceased probably wasn't very good at tidying up. The coats were piled up on the sofa chairs, and there were many beautifully colored coats piled up.

The "refrigerator" Su Xiaolan was talking about was actually an old-fashioned freezer. It looked like it was pulled from a second-hand market. It was very similar to the ice cream freezer in a small shop. The shape of the freezer was square and it was covered with a thermal insulation cloth.

This is an extremely ordinary room. Like thousands of girls, the deceased lived alone in the room. Through these signs of life, it seems that the girl came home from get off work and ordered something for herself. A takeaway look.

——If you didn’t lift the lid of the freezer and see a naked body curled up in the freezer.

The girl has long brown hair in a shawl, and her knees are pressed against her chest. She has a slender body, and she can only use this movement to compress her volume as much as possible.There were obvious pressure marks on the neck, chest, and thighs of the corpse, and the severe ones were purple-brown, indicating that there was subcutaneous hemorrhage.Her eyelashes were rimmed with frost, and she died with her eyes open, wide with pain, the eyeballs almost bulging.

Everyone who looked at her could feel the despair and panic before dying.

As the first person to discover the body, the landlord was still asking people to move things one second, and the next second he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

It never occurred to her that the person who she thought had disappeared has been quietly huddled in this old-fashioned freezer for a month.

Half an hour later, in the interrogation room.

Su Xiaolan filled in the word "Xue Mei" in the victim column.

"She lived with me for only a few months, and we signed the contract directly."

"Didn't you find an intermediary?"

"I've posted it before, but after thinking about it, the agency fee is so expensive. It costs 50% of the first month's rent. The little girl is also working here from other places. We can save a lot of money by directly connecting."

"So in your house lease contract there are only you, Party A and Party B, and no third party?"

"Yes, I have put away the contract. If you want it, I will get it later."

The landlord is about 40 years old, a local, and has several houses at home. His daily life is collecting rent and playing cards.

"Does she usually associate with anyone?"

"I don't know about this," said the landlord. "She seems to work in a cosmetics counter. She usually knows how to dress up. She leaves early and returns late every day. She and I occasionally contact each other on WeChat. Last month, the water pipe broke down. She asked I applied for repairs once, but I seldom chatted at other times, so I can’t say I’m familiar with them.”

"You know, it's better not to have too much contact with the tenant. When she says that she's short of money, that she's having a hard time or something, should you urge me or not. I've encountered this kind of situation, So I never talk to them much."

A few days ago, the topic of the discovery of a female corpse in Yangyuan hadn't faded away, and then another corpse was found in the next-door neighborhood across the street.

These three entries inspired the unlimited imagination of the masses.

For a time, the entire South China city was panicked.

Everyone began to discuss the safety of women living alone.

——I heard that there was no trace of forced entry in the two cases. This is the most terrifying place.

——The password lock must be changed regularly! !If you find that someone is around when you enter the password, you must be vigilant!

——Don’t be lazy if you lost the key, change the lock directly, don’t gamble with your own safety.

——After so many days, the police have released too few clues. Could it be that this case cannot be solved?

The fermenting public opinion has gradually put more pressure on the police to handle the case.

Municipal Public Security Bureau.

There was silence in the conference room.

A voice of questioning hit the silent atmosphere: "What do you mean the murderer didn't leave any clues?"

"..."

The second voice: "The two cases, the places where the crimes happened are so close - there is no connection between the crime location and the murderer's living place. I asked you to investigate. What have you investigated?"

The speaker was surnamed Yuan, and everyone used to call him Yuan Ju.Yuan Ju was getting old, even if he used black hair dye all the year round, it still couldn't cover the strands of white hair that grew out. He was tall and thin, and he looked very tall and straight when sitting there, his upper body was as straight as the police uniform he was wearing.

Yuan Ju glanced around at them, called them by name, and said, "Zhibin, the team you lead this time doesn't look like your style."

Both cases took place in the area under the jurisdiction of the Yongan Police Station. Wu Zhibin, as the veteran criminal policeman who led the team, was also in the meeting.

Wu Zhibin sat at the bottom in silence for a long while, with the black crutch standing on the edge of the chair. When he spoke, he didn't mention clues, suspects, or even proposals. What he said was: "This time I'm leading the team. If you want to ask someone, I still hope Bureau Yuan will approve it."

Yuan Ju has been in office for more than 20 years, and all the cases that happened in South China City have been handled by him during these 20 years. Although Wu Zhibin did not mention the name, Yuan Ju immediately came up with a certain name in his mind.

"The situation is indeed more complicated than we imagined. The crime scene is too clean. The murderer probably did not commit the crime for the first time. We are investigating related cases in other cities. There may be more than two victims."

Wu Zhibin raised his eyes, looked at Yuan Ju and said, "I want Xie Lin to come back."

"..."

In the originally silent conference room, it became even quieter after the word "Jie Lin" appeared.

The people sitting in the meeting room at this moment have been in office for more than ten years.

No one has forgotten that case.

"Ten years have passed since the kidnapping case," Wu Zhibin said. "Prisoners will be released one day. Just based on a psychological evaluation report... Is the ten-year observation period not enough? Didn't do anything."

After Wu Zhibin finished speaking, Yuan Ju was the silent one.

The old file seemed to reappear before Yuan Ju's eyes.

Every word in the file is still vivid.

He couldn't deny what Wu Zhibin said.It's been ten years, and it was his decision to oppose Xie Lin's continued stay in the General Administration, but after ten years, his views on many things have changed now.

Yuan Ju thought of Xie Feng again: "My brother...he really has an inexplicable sensitivity to cases. Sometimes his understanding of criminals surprises me, but I have confidence in him. I believe in him, Please trust him too."

Now that the times have changed, Jie Feng, who had a bright future and was once given high hopes by everyone, has been buried in the Garden of Heroes for ten years.

Yuan Ju's straight back was slightly bent, which made him look a bit old, and ten years had left a lot of marks on him. Finally, he sat in his seat and let out a deep breath: "If he wants to ...let him come back."

Since the incident, the voices in Chi Qing's ears became mixed and frightened.

[The key was lost once before, so let's change the lock. 】

Countless speculations, delusion of being persecuted, everyone feels that the next "accident" is likely to happen to them, and no one can guarantee that the place where they live is absolutely safe.

Home is originally a private place, which gives people a sense of security and takes over all the fatigue after a day.

When the private domain is at risk of being invaded - many people become paranoid, just like every time after watching a horror movie, they always feel that there may be someone at home.

[It's not enough to change the lock, I have to buy a surveillance camera online... It's too scary. 】

[The camera has to be concealed, so search for the miniature camera. 】

In the middle of the night, a woman's voice kept rambling in the building.

She is very cautious and carefully selects the camera, starting from the style and model.

Chi Qing had gone to bed an hour ago.

After an hour, he opened his eyes again.

At this time, the minute hand of the wall clock on the wall has turned one round.

He stayed up for a while with his eyes open, and the woman who picked up the camera gradually lost her voice, and she seemed to have fallen asleep while swiping her phone.

Chi Qing closed his eyes again.

The minute hand turned half a circle, and when he was about to fall asleep, someone in the building woke up again.

[Going home so late every day, is work really that busy? Why are you busy when others are not busy? 】

【…】

Chi Qing opened his eyes.

The night outside the window is very dark, and the hour hand points to "3".

Chi Qing usually sleeps lightly, and wakes up easily at the slightest movement. It is really impossible to ignore these sounds that appear from time to time in the middle of the night.

He has suffered from insomnia for nearly two weeks. At first, he could barely sleep for a few hours with some sleeping pills, but from the second week onwards, unless the dosage of sleeping pills was increased, it was difficult for him to fall asleep with drugs.

Compared with these, what is even more troublesome is that he is not sure how long the out-of-control state will last.

After Chi Qing was woken up, she went to the kitchen to pour a glass of cold water, and sat on the sofa holding the glass.

Due to lack of sleep, his overall mental state was extremely poor, and his cold did not get better, and he kept relapsing repeatedly.

He originally gave people a gloomy feeling, but after suffering from dark circles under his eyes for a while, his eyes darkened, like the large shadows cast by his eyelashes, and his whole body became darker and darker.The mobile phone on the coffee table shows that the battery is low.

Make a beep sound.

In addition to the power notification sound, there are also message vibrations from time to time.

[You have a new message].

[......]

He hasn't contacted anyone in the past few days, he has a splitting headache, and he doesn't have the energy to look at his phone at all.

One of the things I do most often is to curl up on the sofa. Sometimes I want to stay away from those sounds, so I go to the bedroom, lock the door, sit on the ground and lean against the door for a long time.

As time went by, he would sometimes think of Jie Lin.

Remember that moment of silence.

Chi Qing's eyelashes trembled, and finally she couldn't control herself, and reached for the phone on the coffee table.

He glanced quickly through his recent contacts list.

Ji Mingrui: Remember to eat dumplings, I recently...

Agent: Recently there is a script, do you want to read it...

He skipped over the words that were not fully displayed in the list, and his eyes fell on the word "Jielin".

Jielin: The cold is better.

Chi Qing stared at these words for a while, then touched the screen with his finger and typed two words.

-No.

He paused and hit again.

- Do you still have medicine?
