Grocery Store No.514 - Chapter 165
In the police station, Jiang Chengyan entered the interrogation room again. Sun Peng looked over in dissatisfaction and said, “You have detained us for more than 48 hours without any reason. I can absolutely sue you for restricting the personal freedom of others.”
Jiang Chengyan walked over to Sun Peng, put an evidence bag on his desk, and said, “This is your mobile phone and other items, just tap it, I’ll sort out the confession, Then you sign and you can go.”
Sun Peng was startled, watching Jiang Chengyan walk out of the interrogation room, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He opened the evidence bag, took out the phone, tapped the screen, but there was no response, so he pressed the power button for a long time, and soon the screen turned on and the phone was turned on.
With the mobile phone for entertainment, Sun Peng’s impetuous heart calmed down, and he didn’t care how long Jiang Chengyan was out. Suddenly, the phone’s VX alert sounded. He glanced at the sender, and he was stunned. His eyes were full of horror, and he threw the phone on the table.
“Ding Ding Ding”, the reminder sound kept ringing, looking at the nickname above, Sun Peng’s heart was occupied by fear, his face became pale, his breathing began to be rapid, his brain was running at a high speed, that happened that night things are still vivid.
The phone stopped, Sun Peng swallowed subconsciously, reached for the phone tremblingly, unlocked the screen, and checked the information. He couldn’t be more familiar with this nickname. This was the VX belonging to Lu Hao, and it was the voice sent by Lu Hao.
“How is it possible, this is impossible! Someone must be playing a prank, yes, someone is playing a prank.” Seemingly convinced himself, Sun Peng opened the voice tremblingly, he must confirm this Is it Lu Hao’s voice?
“Sun Peng, I’m back, do you miss me?”
“Sun Peng, it’s so cold on the mountain, so cold, why don’t you come and save me?”
“Sun Peng, my hands, my feet, it hurts so much…”
“Sun Peng, there are beasts biting me, come and save me…”
“Sun Peng, we are brothers, why do you want to harm me?”
“Sun Peng, I know where you are, I’m here to find you, hehe, hehe…”
…
The voices sounded one after another, and each sentence smashed a sledgehammer on Sun Peng’s heart. He stood up in horror, but fell to the ground with his legs limp, and the phone fell on the ground, murmured: “How is it possible, he is obviously dead, how is it possible…”
Then a bell rang, the phone screen showed Lu Hao’s call, then the lights in the room suddenly began to flash, and finally went out completely, Sun Peng was frightened and shouted: “Don’t, don’t come here, Help, help!”
Interrogation Room No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 are also being staged. They are equally terrified and screaming desperately.
“Hey, why did the lights go out, who? Who’s where? Don’t run!”
Jiang Chengyan’s voice came from outside the door. Sun Peng seemed to have caught a life-saving straw. He rolled and crawled to the door. He wanted to open the door and go out, but found that the door could not be opened. He slammed on the door desperately, shouting: “Help, help, let me out, let me out…”
The phone was continuously on, and the ringtone was like a urging magic sound, stimulating Sun Peng’s nerves. Just when Sun Peng was in despair, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and Sun Peng’s body uncontrollably fell back and lay on the ground.
The lights came on, Sun Peng hugged Jiang Chengyan’s leg in horror, and said in a panic, “Police… Police officer help, there are ghosts, there are ghosts!”
“Are there ghosts?” Jiang Chengyan’s eyes flashed with tension, and then he pretended to be calm and said: “How can there be ghosts in this world, you must be hallucinating. Get up, sign here , you can go.”
“Go?” Looking at the dark night outside the glass window, Sun Peng shook his head desperately and said, “I won’t go, I can’t go, he’ll kill me, he’s back for revenge!”
“Who wants to kill you? Now is a society ruled by law, not writing novels, killing people when they say they kill you?”
“It’s Lu Hao, it’s Lu Hao, he just sent me a VX, and there is a video call, it’s his voice, but he’s obviously dead, and it’s his ghost that came to us for revenge.” Sun Peng widened his eyes in horror and hugged Jiang Chengyan’s leg tightly.
“Lu Hao is just missing, and he hasn’t been confirmed dead yet. How do you know he is dead?”
Sun Peng’s expression was startled, then his expression changed, but before he could speak, he heard a scream, which was clearly Gao Li’s voice.
“Lu Hao, don’t, don’t come here, don’t come to me, I didn’t kill you, it’s all… It’s Sun Peng’s idea, it’s Sun Peng, you go to him, don’t come I do not want…”
The voice stopped abruptly, Jiang Chengyan wanted to go over to take a look, but Sun Peng hugged his leg, he said eagerly: “You let go, I’ll go see Gao Li, let go!”
“Officer, officer, don’t go, I said, I’ll say anything, the four of us killed Lu Hao, and we killed Lu Hao.” Sun Peng hugged Jiang Chengyan tightly, no matter what. Don’t let go.
Jiang Chengyan shouted: “Liu Ran, Wang Bin, where did everyone die?”
When Liu Ran and Wang Bin heard Jiang Chengyan’s call, they ran over from the office and said, “Captain, you call us.”
“There is an accident in the No. 2 interrogation room, go in and have a look.”
The two hurriedly pushed aside the interrogation room and walked in, followed by Liu Ran with blood on both hands, came out in a panic, and said: “Captain, it’s not good, Gao Li… she has an accident !”
“What are you doing, why don’t you call an ambulance!”
Liu Ran quickly took out her mobile phone and made an emergency call in a panic.
Jiang Chengyan tried to hold up Sun Peng, but he was hugged so hard that he couldn’t move for a while. He looked irritably at the stupid Liu Ran and said, “What are you doing, why don’t you come and help me?”
Liu Ran seemed to be frightened and foolish, one step at a time, came over and helped Jiang Chengyan put Sun Peng into the interrogation room.
Sun Peng looked at Liu Ran’s blood on his clothes, his eyes widened in horror, and he even forgot to breathe.
Replace Sun Peng on the chair, Jiang Chengyan and Liu Ran were about to go out, Sun Peng immediately reacted, stretched out his hand to grab Liu Ran’s sleeve, and said, “Police officer, I will recruit, I will all Please don’t go, please don’t go.”
“What happened to Gao Li, we don’t have time to listen to you now, just wait.”
Sun Peng grabbed Liu Ran’s clothes tightly and said, “No, no, I will die, I will die too! Are you not the police? “
Liu Ran tugged at her clothes, but she couldn’t pull it back, she looked at Jiang Chengyan and said, “Captain, Gao Li died too badly, why don’t we listen to him Say something.”
“But…” Jiang Chengyan hesitated, looked at Sun Peng, and said, “Well, let her go first.”
Sun Peng said nervously: “You promise not to leave me here alone.”
Jiang Chengyan and Liu Ran looked at each other and said, “We promise, let go now.”
Sun Peng slowly released Liu Ran, staring at them, lest he be left alone.
Jiang Chengyan glanced at Liu Ran and said, “Go and pour him a glass of water, by the way, notify the forensic department and let them go to the No. 2 interrogation room to collect evidence.”
“Yes, Captain.”
Liu Ran turned and walked out of the interrogation room, while Jiang Chengyan sat on the opposite chair with a solemn expression and looked a little nervous.
After a while, Liu Ran walked in with a glass of water and placed it on the small table in front of Sun Peng. Sun Peng glanced at Liu Ran, took three or two sips from the water glass, and drank it up. His nervousness was relieved a little, and his expression became much calmer.
“Sun Peng, what’s going on, you can tell now.” Jiang Chengyan was obviously a little absent-minded.
Sun Peng sorted out his thoughts and said, “Police officer, if I say it now, it counts as surrender, can you give me a lighter sentence?”
Jiang Chengyan said impatiently, “It depends on your performance.”
Gao Li’s sudden situation broke Sun Peng’s last psychological defense, he dared not hide it any more, and said: “On the 20th of last month, I was bored surfing the Internet, and suddenly received An unfamiliar VX message, he said he knew about my troubles, and said he could help me solve it. I didn’t take it seriously at first, thinking it was some friend who was joking with me. But he kept sending me messages, every message It was information about me, even my secrets hidden deep in my heart. I was a little scared and a little curious, so I chatted with him. He said that Lu Hao would invite me to travel in a few days, and as long as I cooperated, It can solve my troubles, and even get a sum of money. At that time, I was very entangled. Although Lu Hao and I were a little unhappy, but in the end they were friends growing up, but later I found her diary at Gao Li’s house. , it was filled with bits and pieces of when I was with Lu Hao, I felt very angry at the time, completely controlled by my emotions, just at that time Lu Hao really invited us to travel, so I agreed with that person’s plan. “
“What plan?”
“I know that Lu Hao and his brother have been to Nancheng before, so I suggested Lu Hao to be a tour guide and go to Nancheng again, but they all agreed. After arriving at the hotel, we agreed to meet in the lobby ten minutes later , went to dinner together. The four of us delayed the time by coincidence. Lu Hao called me when he couldn’t wait for us. Because I had reserved a restaurant before, let him go first, and we would meet him after a while. Lu Hao didn’t Without the slightest suspicion, I hung up the phone. Ten minutes later, we went out one after another and went to the restaurant to meet with Lu Hao. After that, I proposed to climb the mountain to watch the sunrise, and no one else had any objection. We set off after dinner. Mountainside, I suddenly received a text message, the man reminded me that there was a deserted route ahead, and asked me to encourage others to follow that road. I hesitated for a while, but did so. Until it got dark, I was above I called Lu Hao on the grounds of the toilet, and took the opportunity to create an accident, but I didn’t expect Gao Li to follow me. I thought I would have no chance, but Gao Li wanted Lu Hao to die because of love and hatred. No scruples. The two of us chased after Lu Hao and ran into Li Haiyang and Zhang Minghua. Unexpectedly, they also wanted Lu Hao’s life. We reached an inexplicable consensus and chased Lu Hao together until Lu Hao stumbled. We rolled down the mountain, our heads suddenly clear, we panicked and told the hidden truth, only then did we realize that the person not only found me, but also looked for them separately. We were obviously taken advantage of. We panicked. Zhang’s went to look for it, and soon found Lu Hao, but he was out of breath. At that time, we all knew that it was too late to regret it, so we dug a hole together and buried Lu Hao.”
“Buried? Where?”
“It was night and the location was remote, and we didn’t know the exact location. But I left a mark there and drew a five-pointed star on a locust tree next to it.”
“What is the VX account that contacted you?”
“The number is 131****5321, and the nickname is the big locust tree in front of the door. I have seen his circle of friends, except for a weird photo, there is nothing.”
“Spooky photos? Where’s the weirdness?”
“There is only one big locust tree in the photo, a very big, very large locust tree, the trunk is as thick as two adults holding hands and hugging. , but if you look closely, it feels gloomy and indescribably weird. Once I zoomed in on the photo, I could vaguely see that the locust tree was full of human faces, densely packed with human faces, and I was almost not scared. kill me.”
Jiang Chengyan frowned, then asked, “Did that man speak to you?”
“No, we all send VX, and the records are all on my mobile phone, you can read it as you like.” Sun Peng said nervously: “Officer, I have said what I need to say, you guys Be sure to send someone to protect me, or I will be like Gao Li, killed by Lu Hao’s ghost…”
Jiang Chengyan interrupted Sun Peng and said, “Lu Hao is not dead.”
Sun Peng was stunned when he heard the words, and muttered: “Not dead? You said Lu Hao is not dead? How is it possible, I buried him with my own hands, how could he not die?”
“Just yesterday, we successfully rescued Lu Hao. He is in the hospital now, and his injuries have stabilized, and his life is not in danger. Everything just now was a scene played by Lu Hao with us. Li is not dead, the voice you heard was recorded in advance by us.”
“Lu Hao is not dead?” Sun Peng stared at Jiang Chengyan and said, “You cheat me!”
“Yes, not only you, but three other people, they are all like you, telling the truth.”
“You lied to me! You actually lied to me!” Sun Peng became agitated and said, “I didn’t kill anyone, what I just said was just because of emotional nonsense, you can’t take it for granted. In court evidence, what I just said was not the truth.”
Jiang Chengyan slapped the table heavily and said, “Sun Peng, you are still unrepentant. I really want me to record all your performance on the record. The judge will be in the public trial. Are you willing to be punished severely?”
Sun Peng was stunned by Jiang Chengyan’s aura.
“What did Lu Hao do wrong? He didn’t go with Gao Li behind your back, and he didn’t even have an affair with Gao Li. It was Gao Li who liked him, not him pestering Gao Li, you But because of jealousy, he wanted to kill him. He is a partner you grew up with, how could you bear to do it?” Jiang Chengyan paused, and then said, “Sun Peng, think about it carefully, when you find out about yourself After killing Lu Hao, do you feel guilty, afraid, or can’t sleep at night?”
Sun Peng slowly lowered his head. For the past few days, he has lived in fear every day. He is nervous during the day and has constant nightmares at night. He also has a nervous breakdown.
Sun Peng was silent for a while, then slowly said, “Lu Hao, how did he tell you?”
” He said that you guys looked weird at the time, your temperament changed drastically, and it seemed like you had fallen in with evil, so it wasn’t your intention to treat him. Sun Peng, even if Lu Hao was betrayed like that, he still wanted to help you, but What about you? Even at this point, how do you still think about sophistry?”
Sun Peng covered his head with his hands and blushed in shame, and said, “Officer, please help me with a word for Lu Hao, and say ‘sorry’ to him for me.”
Jiang Chengyan stood up and packed his things, and said, “If so, I will bring it for you.”
Seeing Jiang Chengyan leaving, Liu Ran also packed up and left the interrogation room, caught up with Jiang Chengyan in three or two steps, and asked the question in his heart: “Captain, is what you said before Sun Peng true? I Why does it feel so…weird.”
“In that state, he won’t tell lies.” Jiang Chengyan stopped and said, “Liu Ran, go and bring me all the other people’s confessions.”
“Yes, Captain.”
Jiang Chengyan walked straight to Li Tong and asked, “Li Tong, how was the number you asked you to check last time?”
“Number? Which number?” Li Tong was a little confused when asked.
Jiang Chengyan reminded: “131****5321, you said before that the owner of this number is Liu Chen.”
“Oh, oh, this, we went to visit Liu Chen, he said he didn’t know that he still had this number in his name, the number he had been using was 134****9374, During the period of Lu Hao’s disappearance, he has been in Huacheng and has no travel records. It should be that the murderer stole his identity information and used special means to obtain this number.”
“You continue to check this number, and all information must be filtered again, including all social accounts, shopping platforms and other information bound to this number, must be checked again.”
“Yes, Captain.”
“By the way, did the trace inspection department send any materials?”
“The captain said that they searched for the trace inspection report of the basement where Lu Hao was imprisoned?” Seeing Jiang Chengyan nodding, Li Tong shook his head and said, “Not yet, why don’t I rush it?”
“No, you can do your job.” Jiang Chengyan turned back to his office.
Five minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the office, Liu Ran pushed open the door and walked in, handed the documents in his hand to Jiang Chengyan, and said, “Captain, their confessions are all here. “
“Okay, just give it to me.”
Liu Ran turned to leave, Jiang Chengyan carefully compared the four people’s confessions, they said basically the same, the murderer came to them in turn, used their jealousy and resentment to create this murderous trip .
Looking at the contents of the confession, Jiang Chengyan frowned more and more tightly, looked at the time, and walked out of the office with the documents.
Glancing at the tired crowd, Jiang Chengyan said, “It’s very late today, let’s all get off work.”
Yao Min released the mouse in his hand, stretched his waist, and said, “Although I am a little tired today, I still have a lot of fun, especially seeing Liu Ran’s good acting skills. I can’t help but believe it at the level of the actress.”
Guo Haiying said: “Yes, that look, that expression, very professional. If Sister Liu is not a police officer, she can become an actress and she is guaranteed to win an award.”
Liu Ran stroked her hair pretentiously, and said proudly: “Hurry up and grab a pen and paper, wait in line for autographs, just in case I really become an actress, I won’t have time. “
Everyone was amused, and they felt relieved after a long day of work.
Wang Bin smiled and said, “How could you forget the captain? Our captain’s acting skills are also very good, and he definitely deserves the title of the best actor.”
Yao Min joked: “Our captain is an old fox, this kind of scene is trivial.”
“I am ashamed of myself, I am ashamed of myself, I have to learn from the captain in the future, and strive to replace him as soon as possible.” Liu Ran pretended to cover his mouth and said: “Oh, how can I tell my heart? It’s all said.”
“Okay, you two have a lot of ambition, let’s see how I will deal with you in the future.” “No, no, I don’t want to wear small shoes.”; open.
“Okay, all pack up and go back to rest and go to work on time tomorrow.”
“Get off work.” Everyone packed up and prepared to get off work.
Jiang Chengyan took the documents, drove to the hospital, and went straight to the wards of Ling Huaan and Lu Hao. When he saw Yanyu, he was surprised for a moment, smiled and greeted: “Yanyu, it’s been a long time. not see.”
“Team Jiang, long time no see.” Yanyu turned to look at Ling Huaan, and said warmly, “Huaan, I’ll go first, I’ll come back tomorrow morning.”
“No, I should be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, don’t run back and forth if you are inconvenient.” Ling Huaan thought about it and said, “By the way, I am going to hold a banquet these two days. , I want to use the banquet hall of your hotel, you can check when you are free.”
“You can use it any day, and you will have free time. You don’t need to worry about the rest. Zhang Mian will coordinate.”
“Alright.” Ling Huaan looked at Zhang Mian and said with a smile, “Zhang Mian, drive slowly on the road and pay attention to safety.”
Zhang Mian nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Ling, I will deliver Mr. Yan home safely.”
Yan Yu and Zhang Mian left the ward together without further delay.
“Brother Chengyan.” Lu Hao greeted with a smile.
“Lu Hao, long time no see.” Jiang Chengyan’s tone was a little cold.
Although he knows the importance of Lu Hao to Ling Huaan, Jiang Chengyan is also aware of the damage he has caused to Ling Huaan, and he has some complaints in his heart, but this time Lu Hao was injured, and he was also implicated by Ling Huaan, so Jiang Chengyan’s mood was quite complicated at this time.
Lu Hao has a carefree personality and didn’t hear anything, but Ling Huaan heard it clearly, and naturally understood why Jiang Chengyan had such an attitude towards Lu Hao. Is it all right?”
“It went well, they all recruited.” Jiang Chengyan handed the information in his hand to Ling Huaan and said, “This is their confession.”
Ling Huaan took the information and said, “Team Jiang brought the confession, did they find something wrong?”
Jiang Chengyan had become accustomed to Ling Huaan’s keenness, and said, “I have some doubts, so I brought it here for you to explain to me.”
Ling Huaan opened the information bag, took out the confession, and looked at it one by one, the more he looked at the frown, the tighter he frowned, looked up at Jiang Chengyan, and said, “Jiang team, do you want to What about that photo?”
“Yes. Sun Peng was interrogated by me. He said that there was only one photo in the Murderer’s VX account, and that photo was of a huge locust tree with luxuriant branches. , full of vitality, but it gives people a gloomy feeling. And when he zooms in, he can vaguely see that the locust tree is covered with human faces, densely packed with human faces.”
“A human face grows on the tree, is it so scary?” Lu Hao, who was listening, automatically brought the picture into his mind, and couldn’t help swallowing his saliva in fear.
Jiang Chengyan ignored him, but continued: “At first I thought it was Sun Peng’s hallucination, but I compared the confessions of the four of them, and everyone mentioned that they had seen the A photo, and they made the decision to attack Lu Hai after seeing the photo, which has to make me suspicious.”
Ling Huaan naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Chengyan’s words, and said, “There are so many strange people and strange things in this world, maybe someone did something on the photo and P posted it.”
“Yes, yes, many people’s P pictures are god-level now, no matter how ugly people are, they can P become a fairy, the gap between net pictures and real people is 108,000 Thousands of miles.” Lu Hao responded by the side.
“I saw that photo just before I came, but I didn’t find any face.” Jiang Chengyan subconsciously touched the pendant on his chest.
Ling Huaan frowned slightly and said, “Team Jiang, have you downloaded the photo?”
“Download it and save it in my phone.”
“Bring it to me.”
Jiang Chengyan handed the phone to Ling Huaan, Lu Hao became curious, and followed him, hiding behind Ling Huaan to probe his brain. Ling Huaan clicked on the photo and zoomed in on it. Unsurprisingly, he didn’t see anything, but Lu Hao, who was behind him, let out an exclamation.
Ling Huaan turned around and looked at Lu Hao. Seeing that his face was even paler, he quickly locked the screen of his phone and asked, “Lu Hao, what did you see?”
“Face, human face, densely packed human faces, that…a locust tree has human faces!”
The author has something to say:
Look behind you, a horrible human face, on your shoulders…
