Forensic Intern

Lin Xiaoxiao stared at the crack of the door helplessly. After some time, the door was pushed open again.

The person who came was wearing a raincoat and was still dripping water. The dazzling flashlight flashed her eyes, and she closed them subconsciously.

Li Meng lingered in the Taoist temple for a long time, but he didn't see a single person, so he held a gun in his hand and searched along a row of houses.

Finally found the kidnapped girl in this room.

But there seemed to be a camera rotating overhead, and Li Meng exited the house based on his experience and entered the dead zone of surveillance.

At this moment, there was no signal on the mobile phone, so Li Meng quickly slipped into the next room and found the socket on the wall.

He grabbed a water cup and poured the water into the socket. After a few "sizzling" electric currents, all the lights in the Taoist temple went out.

He turned off the flashlight and groped in the dark with his pair of eyes with excellent night vision.

Li Meng took out his mobile phone and took a look. Sure enough, there was a signal. He immediately reported the situation in the Taoist temple to his superiors.

Wang Yue asked him to stabilize first, not to act without authorization, and the support team will arrive in 10 minutes.

Li Meng raised his hand to look at his watch, it was exactly 11:30 in the evening.

At this time, the criminal police were interrogating Wu Cheng's family members and another suspect, Wu Zhi.

Both Wu Ting and Mr. Wu, who is in his 70s, looked unhappy. In contrast, Wu Zhi was much calmer.

Wu Zhi originally made an appointment with Tong Yu at the coffee shop at 10:30 p.m., but he was arrested by the police as soon as he arrived at the coffee shop.

Wu Zhi cooperated with the police along the way and did not show strong resistance.

The topic of the interrogation mainly revolved around Wu Cheng. When Wu Cheng was mentioned, the expressions on the faces of the three people changed to varying degrees.

First was Wu Ting, her eyes sank for a moment, and then she asked indifferently: "What's wrong with him?"

"We suspect that he is related to the serial murder case." The interrogator said.

The expression on Wu Ting's face changed visibly with the naked eye. Her eyes gradually widened, her breathing began to become faster, and there was a kind of resentment in her eyes.

Generally speaking, before the interrogation started, there must be something wrong with the person being interrogated showing such a suspicious expression.

So the criminal police chased after the victory: "Do you think there is anything wrong with his behavior?"

It was a simple question, but Wu Ting thought about it for a long time, and finally she just said lightly: "There is nothing wrong."

Seeing that the criminal police didn't believe her, she added: "He has a weird personality, but he probably doesn't have the guts to do that kind of thing. He usually doesn't dare to speak too loudly with me. Are you making a mistake?"

At this time, Mr. Wu’s description was similar to Wu Ting’s: “This child is relatively introverted, and he doesn’t like to communicate with us when he has something on his mind. , I always feel that we are biased. If he can be more open-minded, he will not live so hard... You say he is a murderer, I don't believe it, our Wu family has always been innocent, he can't be a murderer guilty!"

"Our criminal police do things according to the rules, and we will not wrong someone for no reason."

As if the words of the criminal police offended the old man, the old man tapped the crutch in his hand hard: "Our Wu family has been cultural people for generations, and we have taught our children and grandchildren to be practical and clean since childhood. The Wu family is highly regarded. I have three grandchildren, both of whom are college students, especially Wu Zhi from my family, who started from scratch and is now a big boss. Wu Cheng is also smart, has skills, and can support himself wherever he goes. Family, you police can't wrong us for no reason!"

The old man talked a lot, but none of it was useful. After hearing this, the criminal policeman said that he had a big head.

At this time, Wu Zhi made a further discovery.

Wu Zhi sat on the chair upright, answered all Wang Yue's questions respectfully, and talked endlessly about some details: "I have seen this totem before."

Wu Zhi pointed to the totem on the photo and said: "My sister and his dead ex-boyfriend both have this tattoo on their bodies. I remember Wu Cheng also got one on his chest. This totem is quite special. Does it have any meaning?" Cheng asked back.

Wang Yue: "Did Wu Cheng tell you about the origin of this totem?"

Wu Zhi shook his head: "You arrested me today just to recognize this totem?"

"Of course it's more than that." Wang Yue said, "You answer my question first."

Wu Zhi thought about it for a while: "This totem should have appeared two years ago. At first, my sister and her ex-boyfriend got a tattoo. Later, I don't know when, Xiao Cheng also got one. That's all I know."

Then, Wang Yue took out an evidence bag from his pocket, which contained a ring: "Do you know this ring?"

"Can you get closer?" Wu Cheng said.

Wang Yue put the evidence bag with the ring in front of Wu Cheng, and Wu Cheng looked at it for a long time: "It looks familiar."

Wang Yue: "This is a ring taken from the finger of the dismembered female corpse. This ring is quite special. You must have a man's ID card to buy it. We checked the purchase records and found your identity information."

Wu Zhi pondered for a moment: "What's the name of the dead girl?"

"We only found the limbs of the female corpse. The torso and head have not been found yet, and we have not been able to confirm the source of the corpse yet." Wang Yue said while watching Wu Zhi's expression: "There is a kidnapping video on the Internet, have you watched it?"

Wu Zhi seemed to be caught in deep memories, so that he didn't hear clearly what Wang Yue said just now.

Wang Yue repeated it again.

Wu Zhicai slowly came back to his senses: "What video?"

Wang Yue: "The video of the girl before she was murdered."

Wang Yue put the pre-prepared video in front of Wu Zhi, and clicked to play it.

Wu Zhi stared at the person in the video with an indifferent expression: "I've seen this video before, and I thought it was a bit like my ex-girlfriend, but she didn't show her face, so I didn't think much about it. How do you know that the severed limb is her?"

"We found the warehouse in the video, and found a lot of blood and human bones left on the ground. After forensic identification, it was determined that this bone was a human distal knuckle. And the DNA proves it's the same person."

"In this case, it should be her." Wu Zhi said: "She is Yang Yue, and she is the first girlfriend I dated. I originally planned to marry her, but she suddenly regretted the marriage."

Wu Zhi's indifferent expression and the lines between the lines told the police that his feelings for this woman were not very deep.

"At the beginning, she was very sensible. I thought she was very suitable to be a wife. I didn't expect that she was just pretending. She didn't allow me to get too close to other girls, and I had to go home before eleven o'clock.

The nature of my job is quite special, and I have to deal with girls every day. She insisted that I make a choice between work and her. I can only choose work. "Wu Zhi briefly explained his relationship with Yang Yue, but still didn't show much emotion.

Wang Yue: "How is your relationship with Wu Cheng? Do you have any holidays?"

"My relationship with Wu Cheng has always been very good." Wu Zhi explained: "He is my brother and the company's right-hand man. I treat him well. What is mine is his. He lives in the house and drives the car for him. .”

This sentence can only make Wang Yue feel that the probability of the murderer being Wu Cheng is even greater.

Wu Zhi's DNA had already been collected when he came here. As long as his DNA does not match the murderer's DNA, the suspicion can basically be ruled out.

Now just need to wait for the DNA report to come out.

Wu Zhi raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was half an hour before 12 o'clock: "It looks like we're going to spend the night here tonight."

He didn't seem nervous at all, showing no concern for his younger brother, nor was he nervous at all.

It was as if he knew that he was only coming to the police station for a while, and that he would have to leave sooner or later.

When Wang Yue told him that Wu Cheng might be the murderer, Wu Zhi wasn't too surprised: "Actually, I also had this kind of speculation, but I didn't have evidence, and I couldn't just point out my own brother to the police for no reason. "

Wang Yue: "Then tell me, there is something suspicious about him."

So Wu Zhi began to recall: "He likes to go out for a walk at night, and he will go to far away places. The things are very strange...they are all things that make people think about it, such as: sacks, ropes, rubber gloves for syringes, activated carbon, etc. I saw that he bought iron chains and insulating pads a few days ago. I don’t know him. What are people doing in the room."

Wang Yue pondered for two seconds. If what the other party said was true, evidence could be found.

Wang Yue: "In fact, we have already caught him. The DNA comparison results will come out soon. Whether he is the murderer or not, we will know soon."

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment: "Since he has been caught, can you let me go?"

"I can't let you go yet." Wang Yue said, and opened a Word document on the tablet: "I have a question, maybe you know the answer...Look at this, does it look familiar?"

Wu Zhi took the tablet, swipe up and down a few pages, and then put it back on the table: "Show me what this means?"

"I asked a friend to find this Word document." Wang Yue lit a cigarette: "My friend's friend likes to collect antiques, and he handles both valuable and worthless things, so I asked my friend to bring a totem to him. ..I just wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect him to see it."

"The collector sent me a Word version of the document, saying that it was emailed to him by a buyer two years ago. The buyer's request at the time was: use the content in Word to make an ancient book."

"At that time, the collector didn't think too much about it. He spent half a day making a decent ancient book." Wang Yue picked up the tablet computer on the table and turned to page No. 15. There was a black round-edged human face The totem appeared in sight: "No wonder we couldn't find any books related to the totem... because this totem was deliberately made up by someone! I am very puzzled, why did this person do this?"

Wu Zhi also smiled: "Yes, why?"

Wang Yue continued: "Are you going to continue to play dumb? We found you through the email messages from that year. You are the buyer two years ago. Shouldn't you explain what happened?"

Wu Zhi: "There is nothing to explain. I have loved reading novels since I was a child, so I wanted to write one myself, but unfortunately I couldn't publish it, so I found someone to make it look like an ancient book and put it at home as a decoration. They came to me with this pattern, I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I didn’t dare to say anything.”

"It would be great if it's really a decoration." Wang Yue stared into Wu Zhi's eyes and said angrily: "Do you know that the entire criminal police detachment has been looking for this book these days?!"

Wu Zhi: "So what, the me two years ago couldn't have predicted what would happen today!"

Wang Yue wanted to grab Wu Zhi and punch him twice now, but he held back: "The drowned Sun Qiang, Wu Ting and Wu Cheng all had the same totem. What is the connection between these three people?"

Wu Zhi refused to say so Wang Yue had no choice but to continue reasoning: "Wu Ting is 16 years older than Wu Cheng, she is exactly 42 years old this year, and she is still unmarried. I can feel that she actually wants to get married, but why is she still not married at the age of 42?"

Wu Zhi didn't speak, but his eyes were changing subtly, and following Wang Yue's reasoning, his forehead started to sweat.

Wang Yue continued: "There is a gossip in your village, I don't know if you have heard of it."

Wu Zhi: "What gossip?"

"Some people say that Wu Cheng was adopted, because he is not his own child, so Wu Cheng is always treated differently by adults... But I think your family looks quite alike."

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he paused, and then suddenly said, "Wu Cheng is Wu Ting's child, right?"

Hearing this, Wu Zhi's eyebrows trembled suddenly.

"Looking at your reaction, I should have guessed right." Wang Yue immediately added: "It doesn't matter if you deny it, you can tell if it is parent-child by DNA test!"

Wu Zhi moved his eyes down and stared at the desktop: "You're right, Wu Cheng is indeed my sister's child. Back then, my sister was followed and raped by someone when she walked alone at night. Our Wu family has a very good family tradition. Yan, she has never dared to tell her family about this matter. She kept it a secret all winter, and when the weather became hot, her mother realized that something was wrong. She was almost seven months pregnant when she was sent to the hospital for examination.

After the family discussed it, they decided to keep the child, but they could only say that Wu Cheng was the youngest son in the family. The mother planned this matter very carefully, and no one in the village suspected it. "

Wang Yue: "When did you know about it?"

"When I was seven years old, I saw my sister drunkenly beat and kicked Wu Cheng. She pointed to Wu Cheng's nose and said that he was the son of a rapist and a sinner in our family... She also said, that The man and Wu Cheng ruined her life."

Wu Zhi sighed and continued: "Our family does have a little prejudice against Wu Cheng, so his childhood was not very happy. It may be because of these that his personality becomes more and more strange. Well, I should watch him tighter..."

Wu Zhi said with a look of remorse: "Although the family did not regard him as a member of the family, in my heart, he is my real brother. We liked to play together since we were young. I even went to two primary schools for him. second grade."
