Case Files 013 - Chapter 277:

My mind was in a mess, and there was no way to answer. Perhaps because I grew up in prison, I have no prejudice against criminals. And in prison, they seem to be doing well, and they also have a conscience and kindness. So I always feel that everything in the world has room for negotiation.

But whether it is Team Leader Shao or Zhao Mingkun, they are all telling me one thing. It’s as if the thick noodles are sold out and there will be no thick noodles, and it’s as if the fish balls are sold out and there will be no fish balls. Some things are never negotiable. No matter how many times you ask, you will always get the same answer:

“Yeah.” I didn’t affirm or deny anything; just a perfunctory Zhao Mingkun.

I wanted to stand up, but Zhao Mingkun took my hand and said to me, “Wait, look, the stars have come out.”

I lied down again and looked up at the sky. Sure enough, when night fell, the sky was already full of stars. When I was a child, I liked to lie on the roof alone and watch the stars. When I was in the mood, I would count them one by one. Only in moments like these do I forget the unhappy things and feel that everything has calmed down.

“Have you heard of it?” Zhao Mingkun said, “When a person dies, they will turn into a star in the sky. And the more people miss you, the brighter your star will be. When no one misses you, When I die, your star will be annihilated in the sea of stars. I don’t know how many stars appeared because of me. I only know that if I die, that star must be very dim. The brightest one, a star, how many people miss him. ”

I am a staunch atheist. How can I believe that the stars are made by people? But at that time, I suddenly realised that whether it is a ghost or a god, a fantasy or a fairy tale, it is all about a lonely person who tells it to another group of lonely people.

“Yeah, then he must have done a lot of things that others will miss.” I said softly.

“Let’s go!” Zhao Mingkun stood up and said, “There is still some time now. We can still find Wang Yikai. I am afraid your police colleagues will get involved in the matter of Wang Xiduo. If they understand the situation, I’m afraid we have nothing to do. ”

At about 6:30, after talking to Wang Yikai, we confirmed that Wang Yikai was at home. At this moment, we have to find a new means of transportation, so we agreed to wait for Wang Yikai downstairs at eight o’clock. Zhao Mingkun also lived up to expectations. At seven o’clock, he walked in with another motorcycle. I really doubt if this sister has a boyfriend who produces motorcycles.

Tonight, four people in Wang Yikai’s dormitory made an appointment to go to the leisure bath centre to do health care. Zhang Yifa, Cheng Lu, and Sun Shouwang had already gone first. Wang Yikai had to be late because he received our call. We met Wang Yikai downstairs, and Wang Yikai drove us to the leisure bath center.

In Wang Yikai’s words, after experiencing what happened last night, several people were a little terrified. Zhang Yifa treats guests tonight; let everyone relax. At the same time, if a few brothers get together and the yang energy is sufficient, even if a ghost comes, they will not dare come here easily.

From Luo Ding’s notebook, Wang Yikai is the most suspicious one. Wang Xiduo said that Liang Mei also went to the back of the construction site. If we can figure out the order in which Wang Yikai and Liang Mei went to see Lv Zhiqiu, we can rule out the suspicion of several of them.

Wang Yikai was driving, and I asked, “Wang Yikai, I was at the Huangjia Garden Hotel that day. Something happened.

You don’t seem to have explained it. ”

Wang Yikai turned to look at me, who was sitting in the co-pilot’s seat, and said, “What’s the matter?” Can you remind me? ”

I took out Luo Ding’s notebook from my pocket and said, “Luo Ding’s notebook has recorded a lot of things. I think it’s not so embarrassing for you to say it yourself. But if we want to say it, then you’re passive. You know that? ”

Wang Yikai’s expression changed when he saw what was in my hand. He frowned and said, “Is this Luo Ding’s notebook?”

“I’ll remind you a little,” I said, “about stealing underwear.”

Hearing this, Wang Yikai’s hands trembled, and the car swayed from side to side. After a moment, Wang Yikai clenched the steering wheel again. He turned his head and looked at me for a long time before he said, “We are going to the bath soon.” If you have nothing to do at night, you can come to my house. I will have a good talk with you about this matter. ”

Wang Yikai is very serious, and his tone is calm, which makes me a little suspicious. If Wang Yikai really did it, it’s not that he couldn’t deceive us into his house and then kill people.

When it comes to killing people, Zhao Mingkun seems to be more professional. She took out her pistol, seemingly unintentionally, and said slowly: “Oh, what did I say to myself, so I forgot to put the pistol back.”

Wang Yikai quickly shook his head and said: “I said two police officers, don’t get me wrong. Even if you gave me a hundred courage, I wouldn’t dare kill two police officers in my own home, right? Someone can prove my innocence, and I also hope that if you can catch the murderer earlier, he will not kill all thirteen people. ”

When I looked at Wang Yikai, it didn’t seem like I was lying. But before he looked at us, it seemed very unpleasant. How did Wang Yikai become so cooperative with us in just one day? ”

It’s in front. ” Wang Yikai had already parked his car in the parking space outside, and then said: “The two policemen, when you get to my house, you can ask whatever you want. But my classmates are here, so please don’t. Ask about the underwear and pants. Otherwise, I’d rather be killed by a ghost than tell you the least bit of what I know. ”

I smiled, and then I realised that Wang Yikai was concerned about this matter. According to Zhao Mingkun’s information, Wang Yikai is a manager in a design company, and there are usually many little girls pursuing him. Unexpectedly, in his bones, he is a complete and wretched pervert.

“Yes.” I said, “As long as you cooperate.”

“Cooperation, of course, cooperation.” Wang Yikai said.

Walking into the bath center, Wang Yikai said a room number, and a waiter led us inside. During this period, the waitress kept looking at Zhao Mingkun, as if she didn’t understand why she came to the bath centre for health care and brought a woman with her. The waiter walked to the door, knocked on the door, and said softly, “Several gentlemen, your friends are here.”

But there was no response at all.

The waiter knocked on the door again, still very patient: “Three gentlemen, your friends are here.”

Still no response.

Wang Yikai said, “Did they come after five o’clock?”

The waiter nodded and said, “Yes, I brought them in.”

Wang Yikai nodded, turned around, and said to us, “They will be here at six o’clock.” I have to wait for you at home, so it’s not too late. I didn’t wait for them, so naturally they couldn’t do anything about it. I’m afraid it fell

asleep.

With that said, Wang Yikai knocked on the door heavily and shouted, “I said, ‘Lao Zhang, Lao Cheng, Lao Sun, open the door. I’m Wang Yikai.” Open the door. ”

Still no response.

Wang Yikai was also a little anxious and said, “Fuck, what are you doing in there? Miss is here, beautiful girl with big breasts!”

After all, Wang Yikai suddenly realised that we were behind him and hurriedly shut his mouth.

Zhao Mingkun and I looked at each other, and an ominous premonition swept through our hearts again.

“Go in directly, don’t shout!” I said, “See if the door is locked?”

As soon as Wang Yikai twisted the doorknob, the door creaked open. It seemed that the door was not locked. A few of us filed in and saw that there were four beds in the room, and three of them were all occupied by people. The three people were all covered with white bath towels, and it seemed that they had come out of the pool without clothes, but laid on the bed directly with the bath towels.

Seeing this, Wang Yikai rushed up with a single stride. Cheng Lu was close to the door, and Wang Yikai slapped Cheng Lu in the face with a slap. I just heard Wang Yikai say, “I said to Lao Cheng, why did you sleep so dead? Your motherfucker isn’t dead.”

Having said that, Wang Yikai’s face changed, and his voice trembled. He shook Cheng Lu’s body violently, until the bed made a creaking sound. But Cheng Lu didn’t react at all. During the shaking process, I saw Cheng Lu’s face. It was a scarlet face. Dead!

” Wang Yikai suddenly slumped on the ground and said, “Dead, Cheng Lu is dead.”

“Ah!” The waiter was a little girl, aged seventeen or eighteen. He heard that someone had died, and he screamed in fear.

It’s dead! It’s dead!” The little girl also shouted.

I hurried to Cheng Lu’s bedside and touched Cheng Lu’s body with my hands, but found that Cheng Lu’s body was cold.

Guan Zengbin mentioned something to me before about a cold body. The cooling of the corpse is a process affected by many factors, which are related to the age, physical condition, and cause of death of the deceased. For example, for adults and obese people, the speed of corpse cold is slower, and the body temperature of children, the elderly, and the weak drops faster.

If the death is for some special reason, the body temperature rises after death.

The body will cool down to room temperature in about three to five hours after the average adult dies. But Cheng Lu was only wearing a bath towel, and his body was largely naked, which accelerated the process. Judging from Cheng Lu’s cold corpse alone, he had been dead for at least two hours.

I immediately went to touch Cheng Lu’s face and neck, and found that his muscles had hardened. Dead bodies in these areas appear within one to three hours of death. From the corpse, the corpse spots did not form, indicating that the time of death was between two and three hours.

Counting the time, it was not long before the three of them came to this room.

Thinking of this, I immediately went to see the bodies of Zhang Yifa and Sun Shouwang. There was basically no difference between the two bodies and Cheng Lu’s body. This shows that the three people died at a similar time. Unfortunately, I am not a professional forensic doctor, so I can only roughly estimate the time period in hours, but there is no way to accurately measure the time of death in minutes and seconds.

But that’s enough to explain the problem.

The shouting of the waitress attracted the security guards and many spectators at the bath center. I blocked them from the door and said, “I am the policeman, and now no one is allowed to come in!”
