MTL - Mystery Hunter-Chapter 50 ghost haunts

Although it is of little significance to go to the scene at this moment, basically there is no evidence to be found, but fortunately, the technical detectives who dispatched the police that day took complete photos of the surroundings. Jiang He spread these photos on the table, and the table was full.

Judging from these photos, most of them are corpse photos taken from various angles, and the rest are photos of Qin Qingxue's hanging environment. Combining these photos, although there is no way to be as intuitive as the scene, at least Jiang He has a clear concept in his mind.

This is much clearer than the previous photo.

Jiang He counted it carefully. The green skipping rope was wrapped around Qin Qingxue's neck three times. Due to the thick skipping rope, the ropes overlapped with each other. Among Qin Qingxue's flesh, where the skipping rope was entangled, the flesh was purple and black.

Looking up along the skipping rope, the skipping rope goes around the clothes pole and tied with a horseshoe knot. This is a very good knot, and its main feature is that at a certain length, the more you struggle, the tighter it becomes. But as long as one end can be untied, the knot is also easy to untangle, and even one hand can complete the operation.

This is a slip knot after all, not a dead knot that kills once you get in.

Ideally, Qin Qingxue could stop her suicide at any time, but Jiang He had no way to speculate on this probability, because Jiang He had no way to know whether Qin Qingxue had the idea of ​​​​survival during the suicide process. If she wants to give up suicide, will she have the ability to untie the rope by herself?

In the process of committing suicide, Qin Qingxue is bound to fall into a coma, shock and even eventually die.

Even if Qin Qingxue wanted to give up suicide at that time, she no longer had the strength to save herself.

And a person's heart is the most difficult thing to figure out. It is impossible for Jiang He to know what Qin Qingxue is thinking. Maybe she once wanted to stand up, but there is no way to do it. But this has become an established fact, but judging from the traces at the scene, Jiang He has a 60% probability that Qin Qingxue committed suicide.

But what Jiang He really didn't understand was what these things on the rooftop were for.

In the photo, Jiang He found eight candles, all of which were half burned. The eight candles surrounded Qin Qingxue, and Jiang He found some black powder next to a candle. This is the ashes of something that has been burned. There are only a few smears next to the candle. Find.

But Jiang's observations have always been meticulous. He saw in the photo that there was a pocket on one side of the roof. It was a cloth pocket. The pocket was printed with the logo of a certain brand. It's just an ordinary pocket for a shoe box, skipping rope and candles can be bought anywhere in convenience stores.

There is nothing suspicious about this, and the file also states that only Qin Qingxue's fingerprints are on these things.

The rest of the photos are the overall environment on the rooftop. To say it is the rooftop, it is better to say that it is the utility room of the residents of this building. There are some sundries on the roof. In addition to the clothes drying rod hanging in the middle, on the roof, there are also worn-out bicycles, unused sofas, washing machines, etc. It seems that the space is fully utilized. its used.

"There are still people eating on the rooftop." On the dilapidated sofa on the rooftop, Jiang He saw a large bag of plastic bags, and in the plastic bags, Jiang He saw a lot of packages of snacks. These snacks were mainly desserts, but also There are quite a few sundaes, all of which are famous brands, and some even cost hundreds of dollars.

Shao Lao picked up the photo and looked at it.

Jiang He opened his mouth and said, "This is an old building. There are old residents in the building. Most of these people are ordinary citizens. The average salary is not high, but from the perspective of food, it is already very expensive. For example, this foreign The price of the Haagen-Dazs ice cream I brought is estimated to be around 200 yuan per unit, and according to my statistics, older people don’t like to eat these foods, especially imported ones.”

Mr. Shao looked at the brown Haagen-Dazs bowl that Jiang He pointed to, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go see Qin Qingxue's autopsy report."

After speaking, Shao Lao started to flip through the autopsy report. After a while, he said, "The autopsy report shows that there is a lot of undigested food in Qin Qingxue's stomach, which means that Qin Qingxue ate all these things."

"But would someone eat so much before committing suicide?" Shao Lao looked at the photo.

Jiang He shook his head and said, "I don't know that."

Veteran Shao put down the photo and asked, "Do you see anything suspicious?"

Jiang He then nodded, pointed to the remaining ashes on a photo and said, "Look, on the edge of this candle, you can see a smear of ashes from burning paper. Judging from the location and quantity of the ashes, The burning paper shouldn't be big."

Shao Lao patted the table lightly: "Curse."

"What?" Jiang He asked.

Mr. Shao packed up the photos: "It can be concluded that Qin Qingxue's death must have something to do with these three people. Haven't you always wondered why Qin Qingxue committed suicide in such a way? Now I have a good grasp of it. What you are wondering is why Qin Qingxue had such a great sense of ritual when he committed suicide."

Jiang He nodded lightly.

Mr. Shao continued: "According to folklore, wearing red clothes and placing white candles in the place of suicide is a practice that will turn into a ghost. If a person wants to commit suicide, and decides to turn himself into it. For Li Gui, then her starting point is curse and revenge. On that piece of paper is the list of people she wants to take revenge on, and this is what Shi Wenshan didn't make clear on the phone!"

After speaking, Shao Lao continued: "There are three wounds on Qin Qingxue's right wrist. Now three people have died, which can be matched. And I said that the murderer will take the victim's body every time. The mobile phone, but Shi Wenshan's mobile phone was not taken away, which means that he does not need to contact anyone, and no one will die."

Jiang He watched Lao Shao put away all the photos and shook his head: "I don't quite agree, it's as if Qin Qingxue also wrapped around his neck three times, because the length of the rope is fixed, and if he wants to wrap it more than once, It's unrealistic. Then she cut her wrist three times, which is likely to be random based on probability."

"No." Shao Lao waved his hand gently, and he stood up: "I told you that everyone's seemingly random choices are to a large extent subconscious orders. Although I There is no way to guarantee the ticket, but eight to nine times out of ten it will be what I guess."

Shao Lao stood up: "So we have to find out what happened between these four people. As long as we know that there is a connection, we can find such a connection. But no matter how Qin Qingxue committed suicide, he did it before committing suicide. No matter how much preparation, she will not become a ghost."

Shao Lao's eyes were like torches, looking at the continuous heavy rain outside the window: "She is not a ghost, a ghost is a person."

"Who is this person?" Jiang He asked.

Shao Lao sighed: "It's almost dawn now, go back to rest, and at seven or eight o'clock, we'll go check. In short, we are very close to the truth."

Jiang He nodded.

As soon as the two left the conference room, Xu Yiman came over, seeing Xu Yiman's red eyes, I am afraid he was extremely distressed.

"Old Shao, Jiang He." Xu Yiman said, "With new clues, the clues have been analyzed from the footprints that have been extended before. According to the size of the shoe prints and the depth of the mud, we can infer this person. His height is about 1.78 meters, and his weight is about 130 pounds."

"There are too many men like this." Xu Yiman said, "But if a range can be determined, it is not impossible. Then, we also analyzed the red silk thread in Shi Wenshan's fingernail. After identification I found that it is made of silk, and the texture is ordinary. If it is made into clothes, I am afraid it will only cost about 100 yuan. In other words, you can buy such a skirt anywhere.”

Shao Lao waved his hand: "It seems that the murderer's mind is very meticulous. He used ghost revenge to cover up his true identity, but if he can kill for Qin Qingxue, this person must have a close relationship with Qin Qingxue, and he know what happened."

Xu Yiman scratched his head: "If I were to guess, could it be Qin Qingxue's parents?"

Shao Lao shook his head and said: "Qin Qingxue's parents are ordinary citizens, they opened a small shop and worked from morning to night, and the shop has surveillance, it is very simple to investigate their actions, so they are definitely not Murderer. It can be seen from the files about their attitude towards Qin Qingxue that they usually don't pay enough attention to Qin Qingxue."

"Daughter committed suicide in such a weird way." Shao Lao was a little helpless, he sighed and said again: "They even thought that their daughter committed suicide because of her poor grades. Although they also love ~ daughter, but Love~ the way my daughter is not right."

After that, Shao Shao shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "However, in order to make money for their daughter to study, how can they still have time to accompany their daughter? They have already given Qin Qingxue everything they can do. Then we need to know, what exactly is Qin Qingxue? What kind of person, what would make her commit suicide."

Shao Lao moved his body and said, "I'm getting old, and I can't stay up at night. Look at the two of you, one of your eyes is full of bloodshot eyes, and the other is dark circles that are growing on your face. Go back quickly. Take a break, wait a while, and we will continue to investigate the case."

Several people went back to their rooms to rest.

"I want to be a ghost."

Jiang He was thinking about this in his head. He didn't understand that ghosts were obviously non-existent things, and if a person wanted revenge, but he pinned his hopes on the ghosts after death, he didn't know it was sad. Still ridiculous. People are stupid and pathetic creatures sometimes.
