◎Chapter 8     The ghost reappears
After several days of continuous progress, the case was not progressed. The special case team analyzed that Sanchu should be the breakthrough point in this case, and he was the only person who had seen the murderer. However, in the past few days, Sanchu, who was lying in the hospital, was still in a bad state. He had had epilepsy several times in a row. Each episode was very scary. He rolled his eyes, spasms of his limbs, held his fingers into a chicken claw shape, lost consciousness, and was confused. Patients living in the same ward all believed that Sanchu was possessed by a ghost.
When Sanchu was slightly awake, Professor Liang gave him a hypnosis treatment.
Hong Kong police have hired psychic media to solve cases, and the US FBI has also used the sixth sense to solve cases. In some cases, it is also necessary to use special criminal investigation methods.
Professor Liang did not disclose his police identity. He claimed to be a psychiatrist in the hospital and also presented forged documents, which gained Sanchu's trust.
Professor Liang told Sanchu that hypnosis is a psychological treatment that can end anxiety, eliminate fear of things, face life with a new and correct attitude, and get out of the shadow of the heart.
Sanqiu sat upright on the chair, looking haggard, indicating that he would cooperate well.
Professor Liang took out a pocket watch and swung it in the air, letting Sanhat stare, and asked Sanhat to listen carefully to the sound of the pointer moving. This is also the "pendulum method" in hypnosis. Professor Liang began to implement imagination guidance, using words to suggest and induce. After more than half an hour, Sanhat's eyelids became heavier and he closed his eyes and began to enter a hypnotic state.
Professor Liang: "It's raining, have you heard the sound of rain?"
Three Hammers: "I heard it."
Professor Liang: "You are walking in Xiajie Park. The smell of gardenia is very strong. Do you smell it?"
Three Hammers: "Yes."
Professor Liang: "Did you see the water tower in the park?"
Three Hammers: "See it."
Professor Liang: "What else have you seen?"
Three Hammers: "A man in a raincoat carries a body on his back."
Professor Liang: "What do people wearing raincoats look like?"
Three Hammers: "I know this person..."
Professor Liang: "Who is he?"
Sanchu suddenly opened his eyes wide, shouted with an ah, and woke up from his hypnotic state.
Hypnosis can induce others to enter a situation, but cannot control others to do things that their subconscious mind does not agree with. Everyone has unswerving secrets and privacy in their subconscious mind. For self-protection, even in a hypnotic state, their secrets will not be exposed.
The news obtained by Sanchuk knew the murderer, and the hypnosis was exciting. The Sijie police then strengthened the interrogation efforts, but Sanchuk refused to say more, and his spirit was almost collapsed. The special case team asked the Sijie branch to closely monitor Sanchuk's friends, perhaps one of which was the murderer. Two days later, a message came out. According to a policeman who secretly monitored the epilepsy, the kid didn't know where to get some money recently, danced and sang with his friends every day, and took drugs on KTV. This person is very suspicious.
The Fourth Street Police made a bold assumption, and a criminal police captain speculated:
That night, Jin Kui left the sauna city and went home. He probably went to the park because of an emergency or other reasons on the way. He did not go to the toilet, but solved it on the spot in the bushes near the water tower. The chicken happened to be in the park that day - a teenager always liked to wander around. The chicken was malicious, robbed and killed people, and carried the body to the water tower. Afterwards, he pretended to have accidentally discovered the body with his friends to avoid his suspicion...
The director of the Fourth Street said: "It is also possible that these children were killed together. Sanchu should be an outsider and did not participate."
The captain of the criminal police said: "Yes, a few bad boys are still taking drugs, it's not that they can't do this."
Bao Zhan asked: "Where is the murder scene? If it was in the bushes, why didn't the blood be found?"
The captain of the criminal police said: "It rained that day, so I'll be gone."
Bao Zhan nodded, walked to the window, fell into deep thought, and said to himself: "It's raining, why didn't I expect this?"
Professor Liang said: "Today is the last day."
The director of the Fourth Street asked, "What?"
Professor Liang took out the photo taken by three hammers and pointed at the grimace on the photo.
That night, it started to rain heavily, with Chicken, Boiling Water, Gorgeous, and smoked woman. Four teenagers were surfing the Internet in the Internet cafe, and two policemen were sitting outside in the car to monitor secretly. The four teenagers were holding cigarettes, playing online games, and obsessed with massacre in the virtual world. Sanchu's hospitalization did not affect their mood. In the past few days, Huali has fallen in love with her and married Chicken in the game.
They were playing games while saying something they could understand:
Epileptic Chicken: "tmd, kneel down for me, drink ××, and lick ××."
Boiling water: "Bad, you're over."
Smoking woman: "Looking for f, the sister's true heart only belongs to the rich brother."
Gorgeous: "The migrant worker is dead, fly to you, this princess will slaughter your whole family."
At 3 a.m., the Internet cafe was out of power and the four teenagers went home.
When she left the Internet cafe, Huali begged Chicken to live in his house. But Chicken ignored her, put her hands in the two oversized pants pockets on her butt, and a disgusting expression on her face walked into the rain.
The police car quietly followed the chicken behind.
The woman with boiling water and smoke held her hands and turned into a street and disappeared.
Gorgeously hugged her arms and walked into an alley without street lights. At the end of the alley was her home.
She was wearing a Korean-style jeans with long pants that were almost dragged to the ground. She once pointed to her pants legs and said, "The dirtier and worse here, the more I like it."
The rain was heavy, but she didn't care at all, letting the rain drench herself and did not hide from the puddles on the ground.
The alley was long and dark. Huali vaguely heard footsteps coming from behind. Looking back, there was no one. She became scared and took a few steps. She suddenly turned around and a person in a raincoat appeared behind her. The person in a raincoat could not be seen in the dark. Huali was startled and accelerated her pace. The person behind her ran over. Huali was panicked and hid in front of a family's door, hesitating whether to knock on the door or shout for help. Only the footsteps were getting closer and closer. Huali's heart was beating violently. Thinking that maybe it was a person passing by, the person in the raincoat did not walk over, but stopped in front of Huali. He turned his head and looked at her.
A flash of lightning illuminated the gorgeous and terrifying eyes and the man's face - she found that she knew this face!
The next day, people found a large amount of blood at Huali’s fifty meters away. It was obvious that Huali was killed, but no corpses were found at the scene.
The blood on the ground has been washed away by rain, but there is still a large pile of blood on the wall. The police conducted a trace inspection and could not determine what weapon the murderer used. Hualong used axe, hammer, baseball bat, wrench and other fatal tools to simulate and hit, but it was still impossible to determine what kind of blood on the wall was made of.
After investigation, according to the report of the Internet cafe owner, the power outage was human factors that night. Someone pried open the substation near the Internet cafe and pulled off the guillotine switch, which caused the Internet cafe to be powered out.
Judging from the on-site investigation, due to the rain, no valuable clues such as footprints and fingerprints were extracted. The police believed that the murderer was familiar with the terrain and environment, and it should be the work of an acquaintance. However, that night, the police had been following the chickens and found no abnormalities. The woman with boiling water and smoke left the Internet cafe and went home. Three hammers were lying in the hospital, and someone could prove that they were not at the scene.
So, who killed Gorgeous, and who is this acquaintance?
Why did the body disappear again?
The Fourth Street Criminal Police analyzed that the murderer may be a necrophilia patient, but the special case team refuted this inference, and Professor Liang said: "If nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be another murder."
For protective measures, the police detained three teenagers, including chicken, boiling water and smoke, on the grounds of suspected drug use. After repeated interrogations, they did not provide useful clues.
Just one day later, Xiajie Police Station received a report that an accountant from the tobacco bureau went to the bank to withdraw money, never came back to work, nor went home, and his whereabouts were unknown. The police retrieved the bank's surveillance video and found that at 4 pm, the accountant withdrew 150,000 yuan from the bank and left the bank. That night, another person took away 40,000 yuan from the accounting bank card on the ATM in two times.
The ATM surveillance video shows that the man was wearing a raincoat, deliberately lowering his head and covering his face with the brim of his hat. It was midnight at that time, and he could only vaguely tell that the man was thin and not tall.
The special case team and the Fourth Street police agreed that the accountant may have been killed, and the person who was in a raincoat to withdraw money was the murderer. The case, as well as the water tower corrupt corpse and the gorgeous killing, should have been done by the same person.
Three murders occurred in a row, and the director of the Fourth Street could no longer sit still. If the case could not be solved, he would definitely bear certain responsibility. The director of the Fourth Street deployed police forces to increase the intensity of investigation and focused on finding witnesses. Bao Zhan said: "No need to find witnesses."
Fourth Street Director: "Why?"
Bao Zhan: "When we investigate this person, police officers must have seen him."
The director of the Fourth Street: "No, I have seen it in the surveillance video."
