ghost in the office
Work related
There are points in her mother that can be dug deep.
Suddenly, she died, and they all had an uncomfortable feeling.
It was as if this person's sudden death had something to do with them.
"Cao Cao, did you tell me what's going on?" Dai Ran glanced at Congee, Congee immediately came to his senses, took a notebook from the cabinet next to him, opened it, held the pen in his right hand, and looked at Cao Cao.
The dining table, which was still busy just now, immediately turned into a serious conference table.
"Kang Lulu's mother died 10 minutes ago. She jumped from upstairs and died on the spot." Cao Cao narrated, "At that time, she was the only one in the house, and Kang Lulu's father went to work. According to the procedure of reporting the case, the criminal police team now My colleagues should have just rushed over."
"Cao Cao's informant is not a human being, so he can sense death immediately, and tell Cao Cao immediately." Dai Ran looked at Yuan Yi and said something, explaining why Cao Cao knew about this earlier.
This leader is really careful.
But now Yuan Yi didn't have the time to think about it. He asked Cao Cao, "Can you tell whether it was suicide or homicide?"
Cao Cao shook his head: "I can't be sure. The time of death is still short, and the soul of the deceased has not yet appeared. Generally, it will be after the first seven days. However, the colleagues of the criminal police team and the forensic doctor will have a tentative conclusion after they pass. They are also professional."
When Cao Cao said this, he sighed: "Is it because the mother can't bear the death of her daughter?"
Sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person is one of the greatest tragedies in the world. No matter how strong the parents are, seeing their children leave is hard to accept.
No one spoke for a while, and the conference room was silent.
What Cao Cao said has his reasons, but why did he choose this path three months after his daughter died, or is there another reason?
Dai Ran picked up a chopstick and knocked on the bowl, and said with a "ding": "Clean up the table first, Cao Cao, you go to the bureau to ask about the latest situation of this case, porridge and melon go to Kang Lulu's mother and father's unit to find out Just a moment." Then he looked at Yuan Yi, "You and I return the plate to the restaurant, and then go to the scene."
someone in the room
Melon came out with a rather large bamboo basket, and Dai Ran skillfully put the plate in, and nuzzled at the still-eaten bowl of fish head tofu: "You take this."
Yuan Yi carried a basin and followed Dai Ran downstairs.
"Our department is quite special, you know that." Dai Ran intentionally slowed down, waiting for Yuan Yi to walk beside him, "We usually only focus on cases like Kang Lulu, but no matter what kind of case it is, we basically follow People can't get rid of the relationship, so we often cooperate with other departments."
In the final analysis, this is a human society, a human world, Dai Ran, they and himself are all human beings, so how could they be completely separated from human beings?
"It's often like this when solving a case. Just when you find something, something will happen and block the way in front of you." Dai Ran held the bamboo basket and smiled, "But there is no way, no matter how difficult it is, we have to continue."
Walking to the door of a local restaurant, Dai Ran put the plates and basins on the table at the door, and called out: "Boss, the bowls are delivered."
A middle-aged man came out while wiping his hands with an apron: "Mr. Dai, how is today's food?"
Dai Ran scanned the Alipay QR code on the wall with his mobile phone: "The boss's craftsmanship is getting better and better."
When the two left the restaurant, one of them had a big apple in his hand, which the boss insisted on giving them to eat.
With a big mouthful of "Kacha", Dai Ran puffed up his cheeks: "It's the fruit after dinner."
Yuan Yi has never been in the habit of eating while walking. Looking at the big, round and dripping apple in his hand, coupled with the continuous "click" sound coming from the side, he couldn't help but take a bite. , and then he asked: "Why did the boss call you Mr. Dai?"
"Oh, haha, when we first moved here, every time we ordered food or went out to eat, they asked us what we did, and we couldn't say we were dealing with ghosts. So just say it's a small company, I'm Boss." Dai Ran ate the apple in a few mouthfuls, and casually threw the core of the apple into the trash can next to him.
Yuan Yi found that people who work in the office have surprisingly good appetites. If a person with mild anorexia lives and eats with them for a long time, he may recover without medicine.
When the two arrived downstairs at Kang Lulu's house, there was still a cordon on the ground, and the perimeter of the cordon was crowded with curious people, and the two of them couldn't see the situation inside the circle at all from the outside.
"We don't go to the scene very often, but every time we go out, it's always like this. There are more people watching than the police." Dai Ran pushed into the crowd, "Please let me go."
After finally squeezing in, Dai Ran pulled up the cordon and went in. A man who was squatting on the ground happened to look up. The sunlight was a bit strong. The man squinted his eyes for a while before he could see clearly. He stood up and said with a smile. : "Why are you here, kid?"
This is a man who looks to be about the same age as Dai Ran, with a very short crew cut, a square face, eyes, nose and mouth can be described in one word - big, the whole face looks very open, but sharp eyes, good figure Tall and strong, giving people a great deterrent.
Dai Ran obviously knew this person, and he also smiled: "There is a case at hand related to the deceased on your side, let me take a look." After finishing speaking, Dai Ran turned around and gestured to Yuan Yi, "This is the case from my former police academy." My classmate, and the current captain of the criminal police team, Li You." Then he introduced Yuan Yi to Li You, and asked straight to the point what was going on now.
Li You put his left hand under his right elbow, and touched his chin with his right hand: "The forensic doctor needs to go back for a detailed examination, but according to my experience and the preliminary conclusion of the forensic doctor, the deceased did not die naturally."
Dai Ran and Yuan exchanged glances.
"According to the extent of the body's fall, it shouldn't be from the floor of her house. We asked the property management, she should live on the third floor, you see." Li You stretched out a finger and gestured, "From that height If it falls, although there is no guarantee of survival, it will not fall like that."
Yuan Yi looked up at the floor of Kang Lulu's house. Coincidentally, the curtains on the balcony moved, as if they were blown by the wind.
Dai Ran also observed the height and asked a question: "If she wants to commit suicide, she should choose a higher location, such as the rooftop."
Li You still stretched out that finger and waved it left and right: "When we came, the corpse was lying on its back on the ground. Think about it, if you jumped off a building, what kind of posture would cause you to fall on your back?"
After saying this, Li You changed the subject: "Of course, there is no actual proof for these. I just deduce them based on my own experience, so I can't be sure. Colleagues from forensics and forensics will have a professional report later. When the time comes Come get it again."
Yuan Yi suddenly said, "There seems to be someone in Kang Lulu's house."
Although it was broad daylight and the sun was shining brightly at this time, Yuan Yi's sudden words made Dai Ran feel goose bumps on his arms.
Li You looked at Yuan Yi and said with a smile: "Of course, there are several colleagues over there collecting evidence and taking pictures."
Yuan Yi was still staring at the balcony of Kang Lulu's house. After a while, he moved his eyes away and smiled: "Sorry."
At this moment, colleagues from other departments were working, so it was inconvenient for Dai Ran and Yuan Yi to continue disturbing.
Li You jumped up and patted Dai Ran on the head: "Come out for a drink next time."
Dai Ran also patted him on the head and left.
Looking at the time, at 04:30 in the afternoon, there is no news from Cao Cao and Porridge Melon. They are fine when they go back to the office. Dairan remembered one thing. He had been busy with the case before, so he didn't bother to ask.
"Can I ask what is your relationship with Chen An?" Dai Ran hesitated when asking, because Yuan Yi was approved by Tang Bureau to enter this department, and it is not appropriate to ask him about his private life.
But without asking, Dai Ran felt uneasy again.
Yuan Yi was very calm: "He is my senior, three grades older than me. We have known each other since college, and we have always kept in touch."
"You and Chen An are also a professional?"
"That's not true. The two of us met when we participated in a badminton match in college. My major is industrial management."
Dai Ran's eyes widened, looking at Yuan Yi in surprise.
Seeing Dai Ran's dazed expression, Yuan Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "When Bureau Tang interviewed me, I also had the same expression, you two still look alike."
Dai Ran pouted, and muttered a little: "Who looks like that old man?"
Yuan Yi didn't hear it clearly, and asked in confusion, "What?"
Dai Ran immediately shook his head, indicating that it was nothing, and brought the topic back to the original track: "Then why did you come to be a policeman? Uh, not an ordinary policeman."
"Oh, it's my personal ambition. I have been interested in the world other than the human world since I was a child. Chen An graduated three years earlier than me. After working, he would often tell me some of the things he encountered. He said a word, I I remember it very clearly."
When Yuan Yi said this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"what?"
"When people die, many things are covered under the yellow earth, but there are many people, because of many reasons, they are not reconciled, so they want to fulfill their wishes in life, for example, to help them find the cause of abnormal death. You know, In this world, among the abnormal deaths every day, there are quite a few, just like this."
Yuan leaned back on the car seat: "Death is like a light going out, but even if the lights are off, some things will not disappear. So when Chen An suggested that I come here, I immediately agreed. "
Dai Ran remained silent. The words Chen An said were what they often said before, not that they thought highly of themselves and could deal with some strange things that ordinary people find unbelievable, but—
Some things, once known, cannot be ignored.
Yuan Yi didn't hear Dai Ran's words, and he didn't speak any more. He lowered the back seat of the car a little, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At this time, the rush hour of a city had begun, and Dai Ran's car was moving slowly in the traffic flow, at an extremely slow speed. By the time the car drove into the courtyard of the small office building, the sky had already darkened.
Yuan Yi's sleep was very light. As soon as the car stopped, he opened his eyes and smiled at Dai Ran with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry."
Dai Ran unbuckled his seat belt and planned to get out of the car: "Did you not sleep well on the sofa yesterday?"
Yuan Yi sat up, and unexpectedly found himself covered with a thin blanket. He folded the blanket into a square piece: "No, I've always been a light sleeper."
When the two of them said this, they thought of a question at the same time, how to solve the problem of Yuan Yi's accommodation tonight?Yesterday Dai Ran asked him to write a dormitory application today, but he forgot when he got up early in the morning.
According to the state of the case here, it is impossible for him to go home, or else, just find a hotel nearby for a few days?
"You'll stay at my place today, and you'll write a dormitory application as soon as you go upstairs, and the approval will be very fast." Dai Ran quickly thought of a countermeasure, "You didn't bring any clothes, so put on my general at night. Just a moment, we're about the same height."
They are all men, so Yuan Yi has nothing to be embarrassed about, so he agreed with his thanks.
Dai Ran said that he had something to do, and asked Yuan Yi to go up and write the application first. Seeing Yuan Yi's figure disappear into the corridor, he spun the phone he had held in his hand a few times, found a number, and connected key.
The "beep beep beep" connection sound continued to ring, and Dai Ran couldn't help but squeeze the phone tightly.
"Hello." Once connected, a deep male voice came, "Dairan?"
"It's me." Dai Ran tried his best to speak in a flat voice, "How are you doing recently?"
The person at the other end said "haha" twice: "Very good, I haven't contacted you for a long time, is it because of my junior?"
"He is not a relevant professional, why would you suggest that he come to me?"
"It doesn't matter what major you study for the things you deal with. My junior is smart, has a good memory, has enough analytical skills, and most importantly, he has enough sense of responsibility and is not afraid of contacting non-human things. I I think he can help you."
"But you, you are like this, and you still introduce your junior..." Dai Ran's voice trembled imperceptibly.
The other side also fell silent. After a long time, a long sigh came from the other side: "Dairan, I have said many times that my injury has nothing to do with you. You have been blaming yourself for so long, isn't it enough?"
Dai Ran closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"It's been so long, and you haven't contacted me. I understand you, but there are some things that can be avoided without our efforts." The tone of the person on the other end was very helpless, "We have known each other for so many years, and because of this, we have become old and dead. Contact, you are not sorry, I am also sorry."
Dai Ran opened his mouth.
The person on the other end laughed twice: "Okay, don't talk about this on the phone, Yuan Yi is great, I believe him. As for you, come and see me when you have time, and bring Li You and Yuan Yi, I invite you drink wine."
"I, I know." Dai Ran didn't know what to say, so he could only respond mechanically.
"That's it, your sister-in-law called me for dinner, and she also said that she hasn't seen you for a long time, so she asked you to come and play." The person over there said and hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone, Dai Ran felt relieved. It would be good for Chen An to hang up the phone on his own initiative, but he really, really didn't know what to say.
There will always be a lot of such things, consciously hurting other people and feel extremely guilty and regretful, the other party tells you repeatedly, it’s okay, it’s not all your fault, I don’t blame you.
But I really can't help but blame myself.
The other party didn't blame him, it was his generosity, but he couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.
Dai Ran sat in the car without moving, thinking a lot in the dark environment, until the car window was slapped "dong dong dong" before he came back to his senses.
Cao Cao stood outside the car and asked curiously, "Head, why are you in a daze in the car?"
Dai Ran shook his head to indicate that it was nothing, and went upstairs with Cao Cao.
Because of the sudden death of Kang Lulu's mother in the afternoon, five people went out to investigate some information separately in the afternoon. When they arrived, they immediately began to exchange information with each other.
Porridge went to Kang Lulu's parents' work unit. According to her mother's colleagues, Kang Lulu's mother hadn't been to the work unit since her daughter's death, and they all understood that she had taken a long vacation.
However, a colleague sitting across from Kang Lulu's mother said that before Kang Lulu's college entrance examination, she was always very happy, and she was in high spirits every day.After the college entrance examination scores came out, she found that Kang Lulu's mother was not in a good mood. Not only did she not smile, but she often made mistakes at work. She even comforted Kang Lulu's mother several times.
Melon reported that the people in Kang Lulu’s father’s unit said that after the results of the college entrance examination came out, her father happily said that he invited them to dinner, but since the death of his daughter, Kang Lulu’s father’s hair turned gray overnight. The mood is also very bad, and I often cry when looking at the photos on the table.
Cao Cao went to the police station, but Kang Lulu's mother died only a few hours ago, and the results of the autopsy and forensics did not come out so soon. The Tang Bureau had asked the Criminal Police Team to hand over the case of Kang Lulu's mother's death to Dai Ran for handling.
To be honest, Dai Ran didn't get many useful clues in the afternoon, so Dai Ran suddenly asked Yuan Yi: "This afternoon, when you were downstairs at Kang Lulu's house, you said there was someone on the balcony of her house, and Li You said that a colleague was working, but you left?" Then I stared at it again, did I find something?"
Yuan nodded, shook his head again, and said uncertainly: "I found that there seemed to be someone behind the curtains on the balcony of Kang Lulu's house, but Captain Li said that his colleagues were at work, so I thought maybe I was thinking too much. When I left I looked back and still felt that there seemed to be someone behind the curtain."
After speaking, he hesitated, "It feels like someone is watching us."
The meeting was almost over, and the hour hand of the clock on the wall was almost at seven o'clock. Dai Ran asked everyone to pack up and go to Kang Lulu's house together.
"We often go to the scene of the crime at night, because there will be some things that cannot be seen during the day." Cao Cao and Yuan Yi are very familiar with each other and put his arms around his shoulders.
It was around eight o'clock when we arrived downstairs at Kang Lulu's house. There were not many people entering and leaving the community at this time. Most of the families in the building had their lights on, and the whole family had meals, chatted and rested at home.
Kang Lulu's house is on the third floor. They didn't take the elevator. They walked up the escape stairs. The footsteps of a few people echoed in the quiet corridor. Maybe the property is not in place. The corridor from the second floor to the third floor was lit up He danced very well.
"If it wasn't for the crowds, I would be a little scared." Porridge whispered, holding Melon's arm, "I don't know if my psychological hints are at work."
Speaking of which, they have already reached the third floor. Several of them have been here before. Kang Lulu's parents have good jobs. Originally, there were two households on the first floor, but the third floor was bought by the Kang family, and the connection part was opened. Upstairs lived the Kang family.
"Kang Lulu's father was hospitalized. When I was at work in the afternoon, I received a call saying that my wife had jumped off a building, and she immediately passed out. I went to see her in the afternoon, but she was still in a coma, and seemed to be talking in her sleep." Cao Cao took out a bag from his pocket and Gloves, first put on the gloves, then take the key out of the bag, then open the door and press the light
Nocturnal clues
The room is very tidy, furniture, electrical appliances, and decorations are all placed in their original positions without any mess. There are still a few apples piled up in the fruit plate on the coffee table, which looks very fresh.
Melon walked to a wall and looked at the photos on it. There were three photos in total, all of which were family portraits. It seemed that they were taken by the family of three when Kang Lulu graduated from elementary school, junior high school, and high school.
Kang Lulu is growing up. In the photos, she has grown from a clever little girl to a slim girl, and she can be considered beautiful from childhood to adulthood.
Looking at the photos, it is obvious that the smiles are getting less and less.
Especially in the last picture, Kang Lulu's mother held her arm. Kang Lulu looked very nervous, her eyes were wide open, and the corners of her mouth mechanically raised in an arc, seeming to laugh or cry.
"Do you think Kang Lulu's expression is very subtle in this photo?" Melon elbowed Cao Cao who was also standing aside looking at the photo.
"Yeah." Cao Cao scratched his head habitually.
Dai Ran also stood beside him at some point, thinking while watching: "Sometimes I need to take pictures, and I don't like it, but I have to. that's all."
Although he was indeed smiling, it was stiff—that’s how it felt.
The window of the balcony seemed to be open, a gust of wind blew in, and the door on the balcony slammed several times.
Congee Congee felt a little cold, so she went over to close the window.
Cao Cao leaned on the cabinet, he felt very strange: "The Kang family has only one daughter, and all the parents' thoughts should be on Kang Lulu. Why is Kang Lulu unhappy when she is with her parents?"
Yuan Yi just came out of Kang Lulu's room at this moment, and upon hearing Cao Cao's question, he waved to several people: "I think Kang Lulu has a bad relationship with her mother, come and see."
A group of people entered Kang Lulu's room again. There was a photo album spread out on the desk. Yuan Yi flipped through a few pages and pointed it out to them: "There are family photos, single photos of Kang Lulu, and photos of Kang Lulu and her parents together."
Dai Ran picked up the photo album and looked at it. It was similar to the photos I had seen before. In Kang Lulu's solo photos, she smiled brightly. What's more special is that in the photo of her and her father, she also smiled naturally, holding her father's arm Kang Lulu's father leaned against his daughter lovingly.
Compared with these photos, the photo of Kang Lulu and her mother is more like completing a task, with a flat smile and a straight body. In none of the photos, Kang Lulu leaned on her mother actively.
Yuan Yi pointed to the photos on the wall again: "At least it is certain that Kang Lulu doesn't like her mother very much."
Cao Cao suddenly stretched out a finger to his lips and let out a "shh", and the others immediately fell silent, watching Cao Cao close his eyes in doubt, his brows furrowed slightly, and his breathing eased.
Very quiet, you can hear the ticking of the clock on the bridge in the living room.
After an unknown amount of time, Cao Cao opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at the four seriously: "Kang Lulu is in this room."
The five people present, except Yuan Yi, were not dealing with non-human cases for the first time, so they were only a little surprised. Yuan Yi didn't show any fear at all, staring at Cao Cao, waiting for him to continue.
"I can feel her presence, but I don't know why she doesn't show up. What's more strange is that my informants have been here several times and they all said that they can't perceive the soul of Kang Lulu." Cao Cao explained in detail, " Generally, there should be only one reason for such a situation, that is, Kang Lulu's soul cannot leave this house. As a non-human being, my informant cannot enter a human's house, so I have not found Kang Lulu's soul. I came today, It was night again, and her aura was a little bit stronger, and I sensed it."
Dai Ran immediately reacted: "The case of the sudden death of the old man we took over last year was because the deceased's obsession was too deep for decades, so after his death his soul stayed in the noodle shop where he met his first love when he was young. We It was only later that I found out.”
Cao Cao nodded in agreement: "Yes, the situation is similar. Since we are all here, Kang Lulu can come out, but she doesn't, so I think she is passively staying in this house."
Yuan Yi: "Then is there any way to make Kang Lulu appear?"
"Yes." Cao Cao responded, and immediately explained, "But we need to find out what imprisoned her."
Congee surveyed the room: "What things might imprison the soul?"
"That's too much. Anything in this house is possible." The answer Cao Cao said poured a pot of cold water, "So there is no way to search for it."
Before the words were finished, Cao Cao's cell phone rang. He connected it, listened to a few words, and after hanging up the phone, he smiled and said to several people: "My colleague said that after Kang Lulu's father woke up, he said he had a clue, let us go there."
Dai Ran thought for a while, and felt that there were still some things worth digging here, so he asked Congee and Melon to go to the hospital to find Kang Lulu's father for clues, and the three big men continued to stay here.
Yuan Yi circled around the bedroom a few times, and the windows on the south wall were tightly closed. Perhaps due to the strong wind outside at this time, the windows still made a "dong dong dong" sound.
"You said, did Kang Lulu buy the pile of college entrance examination review materials and mock test papers on Kang Lulu's desk mountain?" Yuan took down all the books on the desk, planning to open each of them.
Cao Cao was the first to shake his head: "It's unlikely that she bought it herself. If she likes it herself and wants to buy it and make it, how could there be so many holes poked in those books?"
"Kang Lulu's books are not small, but apart from the learning materials, there are only some composition demonstrations. If this is Kang Lulu's own choice, then she really loves learning." Cao Cao said again.
Dai Ran leaned against the wall, looking at the bedroom while glancing at Yuan Yi who was flipping through the pile of books from time to time.
Yuan Yi flipped through the books very fast, basically put each book aside after two or three flips, and continued to flip through one, but he read it very seriously, as if he was still muttering something in his mouth.
"Smart, with a photographic memory, enough analytical skills, and most importantly, he has enough sense of responsibility, I think he can help you." Chen An's words rang in his ears.
Although they have only known each other for a few days, Dai Ranjue and Chen An have a good eye for seeing people.This person is dedicated, focused, and adaptable enough.
Watching Yuan Yi turn the pages like this, he probably flipped through a few books, Yuan Yi slowed down, and pulled out something from the pages of the book.
Dai Ran walked over immediately: "What's wrong?"
Yuan Yi stood up straight, his eyes still staring at the piece of paper: "Look at this."
Cao Cao also walked over, and together with Dai Ran, he went to Yuan Yi's side to look at the paper.
A piece of post-it note, with dense words written on the light blue paper: "Don't force me anymore, I'm so tired."
The handwriting is beautiful, it should be from the hand of a girl.
Yuan Yi tilted his head slightly, and relaxed his somewhat stiff neck, his hair brushed Dai Ran's nose, and a familiar fragrance penetrated into Dai Ran's nose.
The fresh fragrance is the smell of the shampoo that Dai Ran has been using.
Yuan Yi lived in the same room with him yesterday and used his shampoo and soap.
After rubbing his nose twice, Dai Ran took the piece of paper, and took out a copy from the documents pressed at the bottom: "For comparison, although I'm not an expert in handwriting identification, I can roughly tell it."
The three of them put their heads together and carefully compared the words on the post-it note with Kang Lulu's review materials. They were not experts, but the three of them agreed that it should be written by one person.
"Assuming that this note was indeed written by Kang Lulu, what does she mean by being too tired? And who is forcing her?" Cao Cao received the note and materials into the evidence bag he brought, ready to take it back.
Yuan Yi stood there thinking for a while, then quickly flipped through the rest of the book: "There should be more than one sticky note."
Dai Ran and Cao Cao flipped through the books with him, and as expected, they found about a dozen sticky notes from the remaining books. The content on each sticky note was different, but to sum it up, it was all about expressing yourself. Too much work, too much pressure, about to collapse or something.
Dai Ran also put the stack of sticky notes into the evidence bag: "Do many students at this age know how to keep diaries? Why does Kang Lulu use sticky notes, and basically there is only one in a book?"
"Maybe, for fear of being seen by someone." Yuan Yi opened the drawer and looked in, "Do you remember what we said when we went to see Kang Lulu's classmate, that female classmate?"
They went to the university to find Kang Lulu's classmates, and they didn't ask too many questions. Dai Ran turned her head quickly, and immediately remembered: "She said that Kang Lulu chatted with them through the mobile phone, and also showed us the chat between Kang Lulu and her Records. But when Congee and Melon came to investigate, her parents said that Kang Lulu had never had any electronic devices."
"Yes, now that the penetration rate of smartphones is so high, it is not too much to say that they are an everyday item." Yuan Yi checked the three drawers, then went to the cabinet in the corner and opened them. At that time, parents didn't want them to play with mobile phones, fearing that it would affect their studies. But after the college entrance examination, until they applied for the school, parents are not willing to let their children play with mobile phones, isn't it strange?"
Cao Cao felt his scalp tingle inexplicably: "What about Kang Lulu's cell phone? After the accident here, colleagues in other departments have checked it carefully. If there is a cell phone, it will definitely be on the evidence list."
Yuan Yi checked the cabinet again, but still didn't find anything, he frowned: "This is also a rather strange place."
Dai Ran faced the window without making a sound, and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking.His pupils are not the usual black or dark brown, but lighter than ordinary people's pupils. When the eyes are motionless, they look very focused.
Cao Cao said he went to the living room to look for it and went out.
Yuan Yi walked softly to the bedside and looked out. The cars on the street outside the neighborhood were coming and going. The city did not fall silent because of the current time, but entered another kind of noise.
"Actually." Dai Ran suddenly said, "I have a guess."
"Ok?"
"Kang Lulu's parents said that they never bought electronic products for Kang Lulu, but in this day and age, it is not difficult for a child of Kang Lulu's family to buy a mobile phone. She uses this mobile phone to communicate with her classmates. Suppose she wants to commit suicide, why would she want to buy a mobile phone?" Get rid of the mobile phone, people will be gone, will you care about these external things?" Dai Ran said unhurriedly, "But if she didn't commit suicide, but she killed, who would pick up her mobile phone? "
The answer is actually very simple - the murderer.
There are two reasons: first, there may be some kind of information in the mobile phone that will reveal the identity of the murderer, and it is unreliable to delete it. It is safest to take it away and dispose of it directly; second, there are things the murderer needs in the mobile phone.
Yuan took a look at the time. Porridge and Melon had left for more than an hour. They probably arrived at the hospital where Kang Lulu's father was being treated. Maybe they could get a lot of useful information soon.
"Let's go to Kang Lulu's parents' room." Dai Ran and Yuan Yi walked through the living room, and Cao Cao was opening the sofa cushion to look down, looking very carefully.
The room of Kang Lulu's parents is larger than that of her daughter, and there are more things in it than Kang Lulu's room, but they are all organized in a relatively orderly manner. A bed is placed against the wall, and a beautiful desk lamp is placed half-hanging. On the bedside table.
The two walked to the desk by the window at the same time. The family seemed to like to read, and the bookshelves of Kang Lulu's parents were also full of books, but after a closer look, there were no world famous books or casual novels. Supervise children's learning", "How to Communicate with Children", "Sprint for Senior Three", "Being a Qualified Parent" and other books, briefly summarize-how to make children's academic performance to a higher level.
"There are so many books here, and look, the footers are basically rolled up, and there are still words written inside." Dai Ran said helplessly, "My daughter is going to school, and my parents are also working hard."
"Being a parent is indeed a lifetime of homework." Yuan Yi smiled, "But in many situations in life, parents regard their children as accessories, and don't think that their children are also independent individuals, so they will learn from themselves. From the standpoint of what children should be, and this phenomenon has a good name."
"We are all for your own good." Dai Ran took the conversation, Yuan Yi looked at him, the two looked at each other for a few seconds, and laughed at the same time.
After joking, both of them felt a little more relaxed.
The relationship between people is sometimes very strange. Some people, no matter how long they have been together, are at most just a meeting to greet each other and separate from strangers. But some people, from the moment they meet, seem to be in perfect harmony.
A feeling without any basis or reason.
Cao Cao probably found nothing in the living room, so he also entered the room and complained, "Where did the phone go? Could it be taken out of this room by the murderer?"
Of course there is this possibility, but according to the forensic report, Kang Lulu didn't have any scars on her body, and she didn't take poison. It was a sudden death. If it was homicide, what method was used, and it was still at Kang Lulu's home, and her parents didn't know it at all. do this in the case.
According to these conditions, Kang Lulu did not commit suicide - the phone was missing, and her grievances were indeed communicated to Dai Ran;
It wasn't a homicide either—at least from the current point of view, Kang Lulu didn't die from external forces.
The mobile phone is gone, do Kang Lulu's parents know that her daughter actually has a mobile phone, or conversely, why does Kang Lulu use the mobile phone to avoid her parents so much?
They saw in Kang Lulu's room that the clothes in the closet and the shoes on the shoe rack were of relatively famous brands, and the prices were not cheap. It could be seen that Kang Lulu's parents were not stingy with spending money on their daughter, so it couldn't be because Economic reasons.
Now that Kang Lulu's mother has also passed away, what is the reason?When Dai Ran and the others arrived at the scene in the afternoon, Li You speculated based on his own experience that it might not be suicide, but homicide?Is it the same person who killed Kang Lulu?
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo." The silence in the bedroom made people uncomfortable, and Dairan's unique cell phone rang at this time, dispelling the weirdness.
Dai Ran took out his mobile phone from his pocket and took a look: "It's Congee Congee, there may be a clue." Then he connected the phone and pressed the speakerphone.
"Hey, head." Maybe Dairan's phone call quality is too good, and the voice of porridge is very loud, "We asked Kang Lulu's father, and he said that his wife sent him a message after one o'clock in the afternoon."
boil for the first time
Suddenly, she died, and they all had an uncomfortable feeling.
It was as if this person's sudden death had something to do with them.
"Cao Cao, did you tell me what's going on?" Dai Ran glanced at Congee, Congee immediately came to his senses, took a notebook from the cabinet next to him, opened it, held the pen in his right hand, and looked at Cao Cao.
The dining table, which was still busy just now, immediately turned into a serious conference table.
"Kang Lulu's mother died 10 minutes ago. She jumped from upstairs and died on the spot." Cao Cao narrated, "At that time, she was the only one in the house, and Kang Lulu's father went to work. According to the procedure of reporting the case, the criminal police team now My colleagues should have just rushed over."
"Cao Cao's informant is not a human being, so he can sense death immediately, and tell Cao Cao immediately." Dai Ran looked at Yuan Yi and said something, explaining why Cao Cao knew about this earlier.
This leader is really careful.
But now Yuan Yi didn't have the time to think about it. He asked Cao Cao, "Can you tell whether it was suicide or homicide?"
Cao Cao shook his head: "I can't be sure. The time of death is still short, and the soul of the deceased has not yet appeared. Generally, it will be after the first seven days. However, the colleagues of the criminal police team and the forensic doctor will have a tentative conclusion after they pass. They are also professional."
When Cao Cao said this, he sighed: "Is it because the mother can't bear the death of her daughter?"
Sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person is one of the greatest tragedies in the world. No matter how strong the parents are, seeing their children leave is hard to accept.
No one spoke for a while, and the conference room was silent.
What Cao Cao said has his reasons, but why did he choose this path three months after his daughter died, or is there another reason?
Dai Ran picked up a chopstick and knocked on the bowl, and said with a "ding": "Clean up the table first, Cao Cao, you go to the bureau to ask about the latest situation of this case, porridge and melon go to Kang Lulu's mother and father's unit to find out Just a moment." Then he looked at Yuan Yi, "You and I return the plate to the restaurant, and then go to the scene."
someone in the room
Melon came out with a rather large bamboo basket, and Dai Ran skillfully put the plate in, and nuzzled at the still-eaten bowl of fish head tofu: "You take this."
Yuan Yi carried a basin and followed Dai Ran downstairs.
"Our department is quite special, you know that." Dai Ran intentionally slowed down, waiting for Yuan Yi to walk beside him, "We usually only focus on cases like Kang Lulu, but no matter what kind of case it is, we basically follow People can't get rid of the relationship, so we often cooperate with other departments."
In the final analysis, this is a human society, a human world, Dai Ran, they and himself are all human beings, so how could they be completely separated from human beings?
"It's often like this when solving a case. Just when you find something, something will happen and block the way in front of you." Dai Ran held the bamboo basket and smiled, "But there is no way, no matter how difficult it is, we have to continue."
Walking to the door of a local restaurant, Dai Ran put the plates and basins on the table at the door, and called out: "Boss, the bowls are delivered."
A middle-aged man came out while wiping his hands with an apron: "Mr. Dai, how is today's food?"
Dai Ran scanned the Alipay QR code on the wall with his mobile phone: "The boss's craftsmanship is getting better and better."
When the two left the restaurant, one of them had a big apple in his hand, which the boss insisted on giving them to eat.
With a big mouthful of "Kacha", Dai Ran puffed up his cheeks: "It's the fruit after dinner."
Yuan Yi has never been in the habit of eating while walking. Looking at the big, round and dripping apple in his hand, coupled with the continuous "click" sound coming from the side, he couldn't help but take a bite. , and then he asked: "Why did the boss call you Mr. Dai?"
"Oh, haha, when we first moved here, every time we ordered food or went out to eat, they asked us what we did, and we couldn't say we were dealing with ghosts. So just say it's a small company, I'm Boss." Dai Ran ate the apple in a few mouthfuls, and casually threw the core of the apple into the trash can next to him.
Yuan Yi found that people who work in the office have surprisingly good appetites. If a person with mild anorexia lives and eats with them for a long time, he may recover without medicine.
When the two arrived downstairs at Kang Lulu's house, there was still a cordon on the ground, and the perimeter of the cordon was crowded with curious people, and the two of them couldn't see the situation inside the circle at all from the outside.
"We don't go to the scene very often, but every time we go out, it's always like this. There are more people watching than the police." Dai Ran pushed into the crowd, "Please let me go."
After finally squeezing in, Dai Ran pulled up the cordon and went in. A man who was squatting on the ground happened to look up. The sunlight was a bit strong. The man squinted his eyes for a while before he could see clearly. He stood up and said with a smile. : "Why are you here, kid?"
This is a man who looks to be about the same age as Dai Ran, with a very short crew cut, a square face, eyes, nose and mouth can be described in one word - big, the whole face looks very open, but sharp eyes, good figure Tall and strong, giving people a great deterrent.
Dai Ran obviously knew this person, and he also smiled: "There is a case at hand related to the deceased on your side, let me take a look." After finishing speaking, Dai Ran turned around and gestured to Yuan Yi, "This is the case from my former police academy." My classmate, and the current captain of the criminal police team, Li You." Then he introduced Yuan Yi to Li You, and asked straight to the point what was going on now.
Li You put his left hand under his right elbow, and touched his chin with his right hand: "The forensic doctor needs to go back for a detailed examination, but according to my experience and the preliminary conclusion of the forensic doctor, the deceased did not die naturally."
Dai Ran and Yuan exchanged glances.
"According to the extent of the body's fall, it shouldn't be from the floor of her house. We asked the property management, she should live on the third floor, you see." Li You stretched out a finger and gestured, "From that height If it falls, although there is no guarantee of survival, it will not fall like that."
Yuan Yi looked up at the floor of Kang Lulu's house. Coincidentally, the curtains on the balcony moved, as if they were blown by the wind.
Dai Ran also observed the height and asked a question: "If she wants to commit suicide, she should choose a higher location, such as the rooftop."
Li You still stretched out that finger and waved it left and right: "When we came, the corpse was lying on its back on the ground. Think about it, if you jumped off a building, what kind of posture would cause you to fall on your back?"
After saying this, Li You changed the subject: "Of course, there is no actual proof for these. I just deduce them based on my own experience, so I can't be sure. Colleagues from forensics and forensics will have a professional report later. When the time comes Come get it again."
Yuan Yi suddenly said, "There seems to be someone in Kang Lulu's house."
Although it was broad daylight and the sun was shining brightly at this time, Yuan Yi's sudden words made Dai Ran feel goose bumps on his arms.
Li You looked at Yuan Yi and said with a smile: "Of course, there are several colleagues over there collecting evidence and taking pictures."
Yuan Yi was still staring at the balcony of Kang Lulu's house. After a while, he moved his eyes away and smiled: "Sorry."
At this moment, colleagues from other departments were working, so it was inconvenient for Dai Ran and Yuan Yi to continue disturbing.
Li You jumped up and patted Dai Ran on the head: "Come out for a drink next time."
Dai Ran also patted him on the head and left.
Looking at the time, at 04:30 in the afternoon, there is no news from Cao Cao and Porridge Melon. They are fine when they go back to the office. Dairan remembered one thing. He had been busy with the case before, so he didn't bother to ask.
"Can I ask what is your relationship with Chen An?" Dai Ran hesitated when asking, because Yuan Yi was approved by Tang Bureau to enter this department, and it is not appropriate to ask him about his private life.
But without asking, Dai Ran felt uneasy again.
Yuan Yi was very calm: "He is my senior, three grades older than me. We have known each other since college, and we have always kept in touch."
"You and Chen An are also a professional?"
"That's not true. The two of us met when we participated in a badminton match in college. My major is industrial management."
Dai Ran's eyes widened, looking at Yuan Yi in surprise.
Seeing Dai Ran's dazed expression, Yuan Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "When Bureau Tang interviewed me, I also had the same expression, you two still look alike."
Dai Ran pouted, and muttered a little: "Who looks like that old man?"
Yuan Yi didn't hear it clearly, and asked in confusion, "What?"
Dai Ran immediately shook his head, indicating that it was nothing, and brought the topic back to the original track: "Then why did you come to be a policeman? Uh, not an ordinary policeman."
"Oh, it's my personal ambition. I have been interested in the world other than the human world since I was a child. Chen An graduated three years earlier than me. After working, he would often tell me some of the things he encountered. He said a word, I I remember it very clearly."
When Yuan Yi said this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"what?"
"When people die, many things are covered under the yellow earth, but there are many people, because of many reasons, they are not reconciled, so they want to fulfill their wishes in life, for example, to help them find the cause of abnormal death. You know, In this world, among the abnormal deaths every day, there are quite a few, just like this."
Yuan leaned back on the car seat: "Death is like a light going out, but even if the lights are off, some things will not disappear. So when Chen An suggested that I come here, I immediately agreed. "
Dai Ran remained silent. The words Chen An said were what they often said before, not that they thought highly of themselves and could deal with some strange things that ordinary people find unbelievable, but—
Some things, once known, cannot be ignored.
Yuan Yi didn't hear Dai Ran's words, and he didn't speak any more. He lowered the back seat of the car a little, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At this time, the rush hour of a city had begun, and Dai Ran's car was moving slowly in the traffic flow, at an extremely slow speed. By the time the car drove into the courtyard of the small office building, the sky had already darkened.
Yuan Yi's sleep was very light. As soon as the car stopped, he opened his eyes and smiled at Dai Ran with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry."
Dai Ran unbuckled his seat belt and planned to get out of the car: "Did you not sleep well on the sofa yesterday?"
Yuan Yi sat up, and unexpectedly found himself covered with a thin blanket. He folded the blanket into a square piece: "No, I've always been a light sleeper."
When the two of them said this, they thought of a question at the same time, how to solve the problem of Yuan Yi's accommodation tonight?Yesterday Dai Ran asked him to write a dormitory application today, but he forgot when he got up early in the morning.
According to the state of the case here, it is impossible for him to go home, or else, just find a hotel nearby for a few days?
"You'll stay at my place today, and you'll write a dormitory application as soon as you go upstairs, and the approval will be very fast." Dai Ran quickly thought of a countermeasure, "You didn't bring any clothes, so put on my general at night. Just a moment, we're about the same height."
They are all men, so Yuan Yi has nothing to be embarrassed about, so he agreed with his thanks.
Dai Ran said that he had something to do, and asked Yuan Yi to go up and write the application first. Seeing Yuan Yi's figure disappear into the corridor, he spun the phone he had held in his hand a few times, found a number, and connected key.
The "beep beep beep" connection sound continued to ring, and Dai Ran couldn't help but squeeze the phone tightly.
"Hello." Once connected, a deep male voice came, "Dairan?"
"It's me." Dai Ran tried his best to speak in a flat voice, "How are you doing recently?"
The person at the other end said "haha" twice: "Very good, I haven't contacted you for a long time, is it because of my junior?"
"He is not a relevant professional, why would you suggest that he come to me?"
"It doesn't matter what major you study for the things you deal with. My junior is smart, has a good memory, has enough analytical skills, and most importantly, he has enough sense of responsibility and is not afraid of contacting non-human things. I I think he can help you."
"But you, you are like this, and you still introduce your junior..." Dai Ran's voice trembled imperceptibly.
The other side also fell silent. After a long time, a long sigh came from the other side: "Dairan, I have said many times that my injury has nothing to do with you. You have been blaming yourself for so long, isn't it enough?"
Dai Ran closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"It's been so long, and you haven't contacted me. I understand you, but there are some things that can be avoided without our efforts." The tone of the person on the other end was very helpless, "We have known each other for so many years, and because of this, we have become old and dead. Contact, you are not sorry, I am also sorry."
Dai Ran opened his mouth.
The person on the other end laughed twice: "Okay, don't talk about this on the phone, Yuan Yi is great, I believe him. As for you, come and see me when you have time, and bring Li You and Yuan Yi, I invite you drink wine."
"I, I know." Dai Ran didn't know what to say, so he could only respond mechanically.
"That's it, your sister-in-law called me for dinner, and she also said that she hasn't seen you for a long time, so she asked you to come and play." The person over there said and hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone, Dai Ran felt relieved. It would be good for Chen An to hang up the phone on his own initiative, but he really, really didn't know what to say.
There will always be a lot of such things, consciously hurting other people and feel extremely guilty and regretful, the other party tells you repeatedly, it’s okay, it’s not all your fault, I don’t blame you.
But I really can't help but blame myself.
The other party didn't blame him, it was his generosity, but he couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.
Dai Ran sat in the car without moving, thinking a lot in the dark environment, until the car window was slapped "dong dong dong" before he came back to his senses.
Cao Cao stood outside the car and asked curiously, "Head, why are you in a daze in the car?"
Dai Ran shook his head to indicate that it was nothing, and went upstairs with Cao Cao.
Because of the sudden death of Kang Lulu's mother in the afternoon, five people went out to investigate some information separately in the afternoon. When they arrived, they immediately began to exchange information with each other.
Porridge went to Kang Lulu's parents' work unit. According to her mother's colleagues, Kang Lulu's mother hadn't been to the work unit since her daughter's death, and they all understood that she had taken a long vacation.
However, a colleague sitting across from Kang Lulu's mother said that before Kang Lulu's college entrance examination, she was always very happy, and she was in high spirits every day.After the college entrance examination scores came out, she found that Kang Lulu's mother was not in a good mood. Not only did she not smile, but she often made mistakes at work. She even comforted Kang Lulu's mother several times.
Melon reported that the people in Kang Lulu’s father’s unit said that after the results of the college entrance examination came out, her father happily said that he invited them to dinner, but since the death of his daughter, Kang Lulu’s father’s hair turned gray overnight. The mood is also very bad, and I often cry when looking at the photos on the table.
Cao Cao went to the police station, but Kang Lulu's mother died only a few hours ago, and the results of the autopsy and forensics did not come out so soon. The Tang Bureau had asked the Criminal Police Team to hand over the case of Kang Lulu's mother's death to Dai Ran for handling.
To be honest, Dai Ran didn't get many useful clues in the afternoon, so Dai Ran suddenly asked Yuan Yi: "This afternoon, when you were downstairs at Kang Lulu's house, you said there was someone on the balcony of her house, and Li You said that a colleague was working, but you left?" Then I stared at it again, did I find something?"
Yuan nodded, shook his head again, and said uncertainly: "I found that there seemed to be someone behind the curtains on the balcony of Kang Lulu's house, but Captain Li said that his colleagues were at work, so I thought maybe I was thinking too much. When I left I looked back and still felt that there seemed to be someone behind the curtain."
After speaking, he hesitated, "It feels like someone is watching us."
The meeting was almost over, and the hour hand of the clock on the wall was almost at seven o'clock. Dai Ran asked everyone to pack up and go to Kang Lulu's house together.
"We often go to the scene of the crime at night, because there will be some things that cannot be seen during the day." Cao Cao and Yuan Yi are very familiar with each other and put his arms around his shoulders.
It was around eight o'clock when we arrived downstairs at Kang Lulu's house. There were not many people entering and leaving the community at this time. Most of the families in the building had their lights on, and the whole family had meals, chatted and rested at home.
Kang Lulu's house is on the third floor. They didn't take the elevator. They walked up the escape stairs. The footsteps of a few people echoed in the quiet corridor. Maybe the property is not in place. The corridor from the second floor to the third floor was lit up He danced very well.
"If it wasn't for the crowds, I would be a little scared." Porridge whispered, holding Melon's arm, "I don't know if my psychological hints are at work."
Speaking of which, they have already reached the third floor. Several of them have been here before. Kang Lulu's parents have good jobs. Originally, there were two households on the first floor, but the third floor was bought by the Kang family, and the connection part was opened. Upstairs lived the Kang family.
"Kang Lulu's father was hospitalized. When I was at work in the afternoon, I received a call saying that my wife had jumped off a building, and she immediately passed out. I went to see her in the afternoon, but she was still in a coma, and seemed to be talking in her sleep." Cao Cao took out a bag from his pocket and Gloves, first put on the gloves, then take the key out of the bag, then open the door and press the light
Nocturnal clues
The room is very tidy, furniture, electrical appliances, and decorations are all placed in their original positions without any mess. There are still a few apples piled up in the fruit plate on the coffee table, which looks very fresh.
Melon walked to a wall and looked at the photos on it. There were three photos in total, all of which were family portraits. It seemed that they were taken by the family of three when Kang Lulu graduated from elementary school, junior high school, and high school.
Kang Lulu is growing up. In the photos, she has grown from a clever little girl to a slim girl, and she can be considered beautiful from childhood to adulthood.
Looking at the photos, it is obvious that the smiles are getting less and less.
Especially in the last picture, Kang Lulu's mother held her arm. Kang Lulu looked very nervous, her eyes were wide open, and the corners of her mouth mechanically raised in an arc, seeming to laugh or cry.
"Do you think Kang Lulu's expression is very subtle in this photo?" Melon elbowed Cao Cao who was also standing aside looking at the photo.
"Yeah." Cao Cao scratched his head habitually.
Dai Ran also stood beside him at some point, thinking while watching: "Sometimes I need to take pictures, and I don't like it, but I have to. that's all."
Although he was indeed smiling, it was stiff—that’s how it felt.
The window of the balcony seemed to be open, a gust of wind blew in, and the door on the balcony slammed several times.
Congee Congee felt a little cold, so she went over to close the window.
Cao Cao leaned on the cabinet, he felt very strange: "The Kang family has only one daughter, and all the parents' thoughts should be on Kang Lulu. Why is Kang Lulu unhappy when she is with her parents?"
Yuan Yi just came out of Kang Lulu's room at this moment, and upon hearing Cao Cao's question, he waved to several people: "I think Kang Lulu has a bad relationship with her mother, come and see."
A group of people entered Kang Lulu's room again. There was a photo album spread out on the desk. Yuan Yi flipped through a few pages and pointed it out to them: "There are family photos, single photos of Kang Lulu, and photos of Kang Lulu and her parents together."
Dai Ran picked up the photo album and looked at it. It was similar to the photos I had seen before. In Kang Lulu's solo photos, she smiled brightly. What's more special is that in the photo of her and her father, she also smiled naturally, holding her father's arm Kang Lulu's father leaned against his daughter lovingly.
Compared with these photos, the photo of Kang Lulu and her mother is more like completing a task, with a flat smile and a straight body. In none of the photos, Kang Lulu leaned on her mother actively.
Yuan Yi pointed to the photos on the wall again: "At least it is certain that Kang Lulu doesn't like her mother very much."
Cao Cao suddenly stretched out a finger to his lips and let out a "shh", and the others immediately fell silent, watching Cao Cao close his eyes in doubt, his brows furrowed slightly, and his breathing eased.
Very quiet, you can hear the ticking of the clock on the bridge in the living room.
After an unknown amount of time, Cao Cao opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at the four seriously: "Kang Lulu is in this room."
The five people present, except Yuan Yi, were not dealing with non-human cases for the first time, so they were only a little surprised. Yuan Yi didn't show any fear at all, staring at Cao Cao, waiting for him to continue.
"I can feel her presence, but I don't know why she doesn't show up. What's more strange is that my informants have been here several times and they all said that they can't perceive the soul of Kang Lulu." Cao Cao explained in detail, " Generally, there should be only one reason for such a situation, that is, Kang Lulu's soul cannot leave this house. As a non-human being, my informant cannot enter a human's house, so I have not found Kang Lulu's soul. I came today, It was night again, and her aura was a little bit stronger, and I sensed it."
Dai Ran immediately reacted: "The case of the sudden death of the old man we took over last year was because the deceased's obsession was too deep for decades, so after his death his soul stayed in the noodle shop where he met his first love when he was young. We It was only later that I found out.”
Cao Cao nodded in agreement: "Yes, the situation is similar. Since we are all here, Kang Lulu can come out, but she doesn't, so I think she is passively staying in this house."
Yuan Yi: "Then is there any way to make Kang Lulu appear?"
"Yes." Cao Cao responded, and immediately explained, "But we need to find out what imprisoned her."
Congee surveyed the room: "What things might imprison the soul?"
"That's too much. Anything in this house is possible." The answer Cao Cao said poured a pot of cold water, "So there is no way to search for it."
Before the words were finished, Cao Cao's cell phone rang. He connected it, listened to a few words, and after hanging up the phone, he smiled and said to several people: "My colleague said that after Kang Lulu's father woke up, he said he had a clue, let us go there."
Dai Ran thought for a while, and felt that there were still some things worth digging here, so he asked Congee and Melon to go to the hospital to find Kang Lulu's father for clues, and the three big men continued to stay here.
Yuan Yi circled around the bedroom a few times, and the windows on the south wall were tightly closed. Perhaps due to the strong wind outside at this time, the windows still made a "dong dong dong" sound.
"You said, did Kang Lulu buy the pile of college entrance examination review materials and mock test papers on Kang Lulu's desk mountain?" Yuan took down all the books on the desk, planning to open each of them.
Cao Cao was the first to shake his head: "It's unlikely that she bought it herself. If she likes it herself and wants to buy it and make it, how could there be so many holes poked in those books?"
"Kang Lulu's books are not small, but apart from the learning materials, there are only some composition demonstrations. If this is Kang Lulu's own choice, then she really loves learning." Cao Cao said again.
Dai Ran leaned against the wall, looking at the bedroom while glancing at Yuan Yi who was flipping through the pile of books from time to time.
Yuan Yi flipped through the books very fast, basically put each book aside after two or three flips, and continued to flip through one, but he read it very seriously, as if he was still muttering something in his mouth.
"Smart, with a photographic memory, enough analytical skills, and most importantly, he has enough sense of responsibility, I think he can help you." Chen An's words rang in his ears.
Although they have only known each other for a few days, Dai Ranjue and Chen An have a good eye for seeing people.This person is dedicated, focused, and adaptable enough.
Watching Yuan Yi turn the pages like this, he probably flipped through a few books, Yuan Yi slowed down, and pulled out something from the pages of the book.
Dai Ran walked over immediately: "What's wrong?"
Yuan Yi stood up straight, his eyes still staring at the piece of paper: "Look at this."
Cao Cao also walked over, and together with Dai Ran, he went to Yuan Yi's side to look at the paper.
A piece of post-it note, with dense words written on the light blue paper: "Don't force me anymore, I'm so tired."
The handwriting is beautiful, it should be from the hand of a girl.
Yuan Yi tilted his head slightly, and relaxed his somewhat stiff neck, his hair brushed Dai Ran's nose, and a familiar fragrance penetrated into Dai Ran's nose.
The fresh fragrance is the smell of the shampoo that Dai Ran has been using.
Yuan Yi lived in the same room with him yesterday and used his shampoo and soap.
After rubbing his nose twice, Dai Ran took the piece of paper, and took out a copy from the documents pressed at the bottom: "For comparison, although I'm not an expert in handwriting identification, I can roughly tell it."
The three of them put their heads together and carefully compared the words on the post-it note with Kang Lulu's review materials. They were not experts, but the three of them agreed that it should be written by one person.
"Assuming that this note was indeed written by Kang Lulu, what does she mean by being too tired? And who is forcing her?" Cao Cao received the note and materials into the evidence bag he brought, ready to take it back.
Yuan Yi stood there thinking for a while, then quickly flipped through the rest of the book: "There should be more than one sticky note."
Dai Ran and Cao Cao flipped through the books with him, and as expected, they found about a dozen sticky notes from the remaining books. The content on each sticky note was different, but to sum it up, it was all about expressing yourself. Too much work, too much pressure, about to collapse or something.
Dai Ran also put the stack of sticky notes into the evidence bag: "Do many students at this age know how to keep diaries? Why does Kang Lulu use sticky notes, and basically there is only one in a book?"
"Maybe, for fear of being seen by someone." Yuan Yi opened the drawer and looked in, "Do you remember what we said when we went to see Kang Lulu's classmate, that female classmate?"
They went to the university to find Kang Lulu's classmates, and they didn't ask too many questions. Dai Ran turned her head quickly, and immediately remembered: "She said that Kang Lulu chatted with them through the mobile phone, and also showed us the chat between Kang Lulu and her Records. But when Congee and Melon came to investigate, her parents said that Kang Lulu had never had any electronic devices."
"Yes, now that the penetration rate of smartphones is so high, it is not too much to say that they are an everyday item." Yuan Yi checked the three drawers, then went to the cabinet in the corner and opened them. At that time, parents didn't want them to play with mobile phones, fearing that it would affect their studies. But after the college entrance examination, until they applied for the school, parents are not willing to let their children play with mobile phones, isn't it strange?"
Cao Cao felt his scalp tingle inexplicably: "What about Kang Lulu's cell phone? After the accident here, colleagues in other departments have checked it carefully. If there is a cell phone, it will definitely be on the evidence list."
Yuan Yi checked the cabinet again, but still didn't find anything, he frowned: "This is also a rather strange place."
Dai Ran faced the window without making a sound, and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking.His pupils are not the usual black or dark brown, but lighter than ordinary people's pupils. When the eyes are motionless, they look very focused.
Cao Cao said he went to the living room to look for it and went out.
Yuan Yi walked softly to the bedside and looked out. The cars on the street outside the neighborhood were coming and going. The city did not fall silent because of the current time, but entered another kind of noise.
"Actually." Dai Ran suddenly said, "I have a guess."
"Ok?"
"Kang Lulu's parents said that they never bought electronic products for Kang Lulu, but in this day and age, it is not difficult for a child of Kang Lulu's family to buy a mobile phone. She uses this mobile phone to communicate with her classmates. Suppose she wants to commit suicide, why would she want to buy a mobile phone?" Get rid of the mobile phone, people will be gone, will you care about these external things?" Dai Ran said unhurriedly, "But if she didn't commit suicide, but she killed, who would pick up her mobile phone? "
The answer is actually very simple - the murderer.
There are two reasons: first, there may be some kind of information in the mobile phone that will reveal the identity of the murderer, and it is unreliable to delete it. It is safest to take it away and dispose of it directly; second, there are things the murderer needs in the mobile phone.
Yuan took a look at the time. Porridge and Melon had left for more than an hour. They probably arrived at the hospital where Kang Lulu's father was being treated. Maybe they could get a lot of useful information soon.
"Let's go to Kang Lulu's parents' room." Dai Ran and Yuan Yi walked through the living room, and Cao Cao was opening the sofa cushion to look down, looking very carefully.
The room of Kang Lulu's parents is larger than that of her daughter, and there are more things in it than Kang Lulu's room, but they are all organized in a relatively orderly manner. A bed is placed against the wall, and a beautiful desk lamp is placed half-hanging. On the bedside table.
The two walked to the desk by the window at the same time. The family seemed to like to read, and the bookshelves of Kang Lulu's parents were also full of books, but after a closer look, there were no world famous books or casual novels. Supervise children's learning", "How to Communicate with Children", "Sprint for Senior Three", "Being a Qualified Parent" and other books, briefly summarize-how to make children's academic performance to a higher level.
"There are so many books here, and look, the footers are basically rolled up, and there are still words written inside." Dai Ran said helplessly, "My daughter is going to school, and my parents are also working hard."
"Being a parent is indeed a lifetime of homework." Yuan Yi smiled, "But in many situations in life, parents regard their children as accessories, and don't think that their children are also independent individuals, so they will learn from themselves. From the standpoint of what children should be, and this phenomenon has a good name."
"We are all for your own good." Dai Ran took the conversation, Yuan Yi looked at him, the two looked at each other for a few seconds, and laughed at the same time.
After joking, both of them felt a little more relaxed.
The relationship between people is sometimes very strange. Some people, no matter how long they have been together, are at most just a meeting to greet each other and separate from strangers. But some people, from the moment they meet, seem to be in perfect harmony.
A feeling without any basis or reason.
Cao Cao probably found nothing in the living room, so he also entered the room and complained, "Where did the phone go? Could it be taken out of this room by the murderer?"
Of course there is this possibility, but according to the forensic report, Kang Lulu didn't have any scars on her body, and she didn't take poison. It was a sudden death. If it was homicide, what method was used, and it was still at Kang Lulu's home, and her parents didn't know it at all. do this in the case.
According to these conditions, Kang Lulu did not commit suicide - the phone was missing, and her grievances were indeed communicated to Dai Ran;
It wasn't a homicide either—at least from the current point of view, Kang Lulu didn't die from external forces.
The mobile phone is gone, do Kang Lulu's parents know that her daughter actually has a mobile phone, or conversely, why does Kang Lulu use the mobile phone to avoid her parents so much?
They saw in Kang Lulu's room that the clothes in the closet and the shoes on the shoe rack were of relatively famous brands, and the prices were not cheap. It could be seen that Kang Lulu's parents were not stingy with spending money on their daughter, so it couldn't be because Economic reasons.
Now that Kang Lulu's mother has also passed away, what is the reason?When Dai Ran and the others arrived at the scene in the afternoon, Li You speculated based on his own experience that it might not be suicide, but homicide?Is it the same person who killed Kang Lulu?
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo." The silence in the bedroom made people uncomfortable, and Dairan's unique cell phone rang at this time, dispelling the weirdness.
Dai Ran took out his mobile phone from his pocket and took a look: "It's Congee Congee, there may be a clue." Then he connected the phone and pressed the speakerphone.
"Hey, head." Maybe Dairan's phone call quality is too good, and the voice of porridge is very loud, "We asked Kang Lulu's father, and he said that his wife sent him a message after one o'clock in the afternoon."
