Daqing Criminal Division

The first time I came to Pingyang, I came here to investigate the case.

Thinking about it, this kind of thing can only happen to the two people in front of me, who always have strange things happen wherever they go.

Among the reeds swaying gently in the wind behind them, the soldiers were walking around the center as much as possible, so as to avoid leaving more footprints outside the case.

Pan Er had just been arguing with them for a long time, and now the three of them are getting serious.

At this moment, Fucha Erji was squatting by the river dam, he threw a cloth towel over and gave it to Duan Xiao, Duan Xiao stretched out his hand to catch it, making sure that no mark was left, wrapped his palm, and the two of them worked together before leaning down Lifting a corner, the position of the heavy sedan chair was moved.

They did this series of extremely coherent and cooperative movements skillfully, compactly and without sloppiness.

After all, two people handled the previous two cases together.

They also have a rough idea of ​​what the other party is usually like and what style he has.

Because when doing serious things, I don't chat with people.

As a local policeman looking for foreign aid, Pan Er was straightforward in his fight against these two guys who seemed to be bluffing as long as they kept silent.

In front of the eyes, under the sedan chair that was pulled up, there was a piece of stagnant water with the smell of a swamp. On the left side of the sedan chair, the place where people opened the door was scratched a little bit. fabric.

This style is a little apricot red edge suit.

It's a bit flowery, it's not like what men usually wear, it looks like a woman who can wear this kind of material, or maybe it's only worn by girls and boys at a young age.

"It should be a child. It's unlikely that it's a woman."

"This is a sedan chair with a small roof, and the roof is very short. It may be difficult for adults to get in and out."

"Besides, if it's a woman, there should be some embroidery patterns, but this one, cut small, looks like it's on the material of children's shoes."

Duan Xiao took a closer look, said something in his mouth, then wiped it off with the cloth towel and a scraper, rolled it up and threw it into the evidence collection box next to it.

The box still contains some collected soil and surrounding reed samples, waiting to be brought back for testing.

In this season, the weather by the river dam varies greatly every night.

Maybe it just rained the night before, and the wind blowing near the river the night after, in such unpredictable weather elements, every party who has been to the scene may be stained with dirt and grass seeds.

Or leave something in the natural environment here.

So even if the body was not found immediately this time, Duan Xiao himself had a lot to do.

Seeing this, Fucharzi, who was squatting opposite him and wrapped the sedan chair in a cloth towel, changed his squatting angle, and bent down to look at the tattered sedan door rubbed against it.

From the direction of Fucharzi.

There are quite a few footprints on the car door that have been kicked, but the footprints are not large, and it seems that they were indeed left by children who were naughty or stepped on them for other reasons.

This confirms Duan Xiao's guess that the person who disappeared in the sedan chair was a child.

A young child sitting in a sedan chair disappeared like this.

So no accident, after the bearer found that the sedan chair disappeared and went back to report, his parents should have noticed it soon.

However, from this point of view, the sedan chair belonging to this child should have been pushed down from the river dam above.

When it was pushed down, there was no one there.

Otherwise, according to the actual situation of the heavy object falling into the bottom of the river bed and falling to the ground, the sedan chair, which is not big in itself, should fall more severely.

That person would do this, presumably to prevent the empty sedan chair from being left on the side of the road to attract attention.

Combined with the fact that the officers and soldiers searched for so long in the swamp but did not find any footprints, it may be because the person who abducted the child did not intend to leave any evidence at all.

And judging from the little bit of conspicuous fingernail marks left on the car door, the child inside should have tried to escape and struggled, but was dragged out.

In this case, under normal circumstances, it is more like a gangster robbery.

But if it was a purposeful robbery, why only take the child away instead of killing him on the spot?

Especially in this swamp, if the person involved violently resists, and it is a relatively loud child, it is most likely to cause accidental homicide under extreme circumstances.

The person who kidnapped the person really didn't intend to kill the person at the moment.

From this point of view, it seems that it really has more to do with the previous bizarre disappearance case.

Thinking of this, Fucharzi squatted in the swamp, put his hands on his knees and looked inside for a while, and then put down the sedan door.

When he stood up, he clapped his hands, just as Duan Owl on the other side also finished collecting soil and plants next to him.

Physical evidence, sample collection, and traces left by the parties.

After the three on-site investigations were completed this morning, the tasks were complete. After such a pass, it took more than half an hour to complete.

Early in the morning on the dam in the suburbs, Fucha Erji and Duan Xiao, who came over after receiving the news, went back to the yamen first after seeing the broken sedan chair that was fished up from the bottom of the river.

Because this is the case with the evidence collection process at the yamen, a site inspection can basically reveal nothing.

But this time, one was at the scene because no bodies were found either.

Duan Xiao came to the scene as a coordinator and could only clean up the scene briefly.

The second reason is that this is still a case of disappearance where the whereabouts of the parties have not been identified. There is still a high probability that the person in the sedan chair is still alive, so the physical evidence left at the scene is very important.

They all went back to the Yamen of Pingyang County together.

Opening the door for the two of them, Pan Er, who was busy pouring tea, sat down on his office table in the yamen first, and patted his waist, which was almost exhausted from running all morning, before throwing the two files filed by the government to them.

"You two watch it first, I know this guy Fucha, what kind of tea are you drinking, Duan Xiao."

Hearing this, Duan Xiao replied.

The polite and thoughtful fat policeman also poured him and Fucharzi a cup of hot tea, and the three of them began to look serious.

In front of him, there are half a table in this big file, and just by looking at it, you can know how anxious Pingyang County was before.

Inside were two old newspaper clippings that had been cut out.

There are still a large number of household registration investigations of missing persons and suspects, but most of them should still have no conclusions for the time being, so they are shelved here by Pan Er.

"This is the file of the follow-up case related to this case?"

Because the whole team was dispatched to investigate the disappearance case this time, I looked back at the busy officials behind me, and Duan Xiao, who was sitting in the yamen, picked it up and glanced at it and asked.

"That's right, Pingyang County has really been relentless over this matter in the past month. Let's not speak too loudly, or after a while, Master Liu will definitely lead people to scold me again when he knows I'm back. I was really scared for two days!"

"..."

"As for this case, the first one is the well-known incident of the magistrate's wife peeping at the statue, and the second one is the official disappearance case. As of today, the person who reported the case has not yet appeared, but I have sent someone to After inquiring, we should be able to determine what is going on this time soon..."

These words also revealed why Pan Er was so anxious to find them this time.

Due to the frequent occurrence of cases, they are completely uncertain whether there is any connection, including the purpose and motive of the perpetrator, and most of the victims have disappeared, which has caused the government to be completely in the fog.

But since, back to this case.

What happened to the so-called first incident of the magistrate's wife peeping on the statue?

This matter may have to go back to a very special incident of reporting to officials that happened at the Songjiang Mansion a few days ago.

As we all know, during this dynasty, there were many mansion newspapers that were printed, passed on, and circulated among the common people. A tabloid to hear about.

Far outside the Donghua Gate in the capital, since the reign of Emperor Sejong, there has been a special copying room for writing such mansion newspapers.At first, it was used as a way to deal with military aircraft within the imperial court, and then began to be dispatched to spread government government information.

In addition, in recent years, many non-governmental newspapers have also begun to copy this kind of mansion banknotes. Once printed, they can be circulated in all government offices within five to ten days.

Because the writing standards of printed publications have been strictly controlled by the imperial court after entering the customs.

Normally, Songyang County and Pingyang County still don't have such private newspapers, but in Songjiang Prefecture, Jiangning Prefecture and other prefectures, there have been such newspapers in operation for a long time.

"Because of the existence of this mansion newspaper, the common people now know more and more things... Let's take this place for example. Where do you live in a king's family? The villain knows, isn't he going to steal and rob? There is also this place, where the male dancer Chun Jian of Dongyang Pailou Grand Theater is singing, and where he will go to clean up next month, in case someone finds out , What should I do if I go to deliberately follow the wrongdoing?"

"You think a lot, buddy. According to what you say, people with evil intentions will have evil thoughts when they look at everything."

"I don't think too much about it. Our world is not like this. When bad people do evil, they just see the signs and start. Anyway, I don't want others to put my affairs on it casually for others Judging..."

Prior to this, there were many discussions about the emergence of newspapers in various prefectures and counties.

At that time, many scholars believed that this was a measure that would help people understand the affairs of the world.

Only a small group of folks feel that there are some unfathomable hidden dangers hidden in the newspaper's business. Who would have thought that such an incredible case would be hit.

The incident first happened in a folk newspaper in a Songjiang government office.

Usually, this mansion newspaper, which is not well-populated, is closed after printing several times in one month, and most of the papers printed by the newspaper are official documents related to taxation, autumn, and laws for the common people.

This kind of thing is not seen by many people, even if it is thrown on the street to be seen by literate people, it is just a casual thing.

But during this month, the content of this mansion newspaper quietly caused a small commotion in Songjiang Mansion, because there was a strange short headline in the lower right corner for five consecutive days, accompanied by a four-frame black and white little like.

These black and white small portraits in the corner of the mansion newspaper that were printed and rubbed with typefaces and spread everywhere are four frames each.

The author's last signature is Hell King.

The origin of the word "hell king" is quite strange and frightening.

At first glance, it is not a serious name or a pen name created for poetry and painting.

However, most of these small four-frame portraits drawn by the author Hell King depict what a villain without facial features is doing, but if we want to say where the real weirdness is, it is that it itself brings people The content and perspective are very strange.

【"Little Hole"】【"Behind the Door"】

【"Under the Bed"】【"Cabinet"】

【"Mirror"】

——The names of these five small four-panel portraits are all named after an object or scene.

The villain in the portrait is either hiding behind a small hole in the wall, standing outside the door and lying on his stomach, or hiding under the bed or in the cabinet. The woman who turned around.

The woman with the bun in the four-panel portrait.

In the eyes of villains, people who eat, sleep, dress up, dress up with their husbands, and talk to servants and children every day.

These belonged to the other party's daily life, and the villain in the portrait saw it a little bit.

But the woman who did these things behind her back never realized the existence of this peeping person beside her.

This little portrait, because of its strange intention and novelty, made people wonder who made it as soon as it was published.

But it is very strange that after publishing for five consecutive days in this month, these paintings stopped.

Interested people asked about it, but learned that this private newspaper usually only took money when it received manuscripts from others, so it sent the small portraits of these painters to the printing factory to be responsible for publishing them in a fixed place.

The rest of them didn't know anything, let alone who the author, the King of Hell, was.

But after that, a woman came to the gate of the official mansion in a sedan chair, and asked her housekeeper to come in to report to the official.

He also claimed that he had probably been followed and peeped by the gangsters for five days, and he also used the residence newspapers that followed these small portraits in the past few days as evidence.

She said that the woman in the miniatures was most likely herself.

Because she actually found such a small hole under the warm pavilion in her home.

In addition, the east wing of her home has a door of this size, above which are four Tang Sancai imitation Song huanghuali wooden doors. Her bed is exactly like those in these small portraits. The other side was placed in a similar position, and the table leg was knocked a little bit.

But she used to live in the inner courtyard, never leaving the gate.

Moreover, she is a woman who has given birth. Except for two or three months, she usually goes to Guzi Temple to eat fast and chant Buddha, and goes to Zhuangzi to see the family property. The strange man happened to know her daily life like the back of his hand.

This is even scarier and weirder than the usual homicides, and it's unbelievable to anyone.

Five four-panel miniatures from hell kings.

It actually corresponds to everything in a real wife's house in Songjiang Mansion.

What's more, the person concerned has never realized that there is a weird person hiding in the house who is watching him, and no one will believe this if he tells it.

But this is where the trouble lies.

First, the printing house said that when Hell King sent his works, there was a four-panel small portrait from Pingyang County, so the case had to be transferred from Songjiang Prefecture to Pingyang County.

The second is that this lady has quite a background in herself, and if you talk about the Pingyang County Yamen, she really has no ability to dare to neglect her casually.

It turned out that she was the wife of the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture and the wife of Lord Jiahui.

For this reason, not to mention that Pan Erzha Keshan Liu Cen and the others who were on duty in the yamen were arrested quickly, even County Magistrate Ma himself was too frightened to breathe when he saw this lord.

The magistrate's wife was named Fang before she got married, so she is called Fang's here.

Mrs. Fang is 31 years old this year. Before she got married, she was an official of the Songjiang Mansion's Jinglue Mansion. She is outstanding in poetry. Her husband, Mr. Jiahui, is the immediate boss of the entire Songjiang Mansion.

This time, she had to report to the official even at the risk of being ruined for her entire life.

And it is admirable courage to name and ask the government to thoroughly investigate this matter, not to mention that she also confessed her many concerns, which also makes Songjiang Prefecture and Pingyang County 1 unjustifiable if the case is not solved.

"My husband is the magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture. I, a woman, shouldn't ask too much about such a criminal case in court, but the woman painted in this Minbao is me, which makes me a person who never The women who went out were secretly terrified, there are other relatives in my family, if someone was watching me every night, I should have found out, but, I really... never noticed it. "

"Afterwards, I ordered the maids and maids at home to remove all the furniture, cabinets, beds, and mirrors. After a little bit of searching, I couldn't find any traces of anyone coming to my bedroom. Small hole."

"It's this small hole that keeps me awake at night. If I can't catch this person, I'm afraid I won't be able to fall asleep again. When I close my eyes, I just think that the person is still watching me by my side."

The prefect's wife, Mrs. Fang's words, can be substituted by other people to understand her feelings.

Pingyang County and Songjiang Prefecture set up a special investigation team for this purpose, in order to thoroughly investigate the case of the magistrate's wife peeping at the small statue, but who would have expected that after this incident, within three days, another family would also be reported in the local newspapers Another work.

This time, it was no longer a simple four-panel portrait, but a strange portrait.

In the tiny space in the lower left corner of the mansion newspaper, a vase is printed.

This painting, look at the title at the bottom is "How many people are there on the vase"

The name seems to tell others that this is a question from the author himself to everyone, and anyone who can solve the puzzle can get a different answer from the vase.

As for the signed author of this small portrait, everyone was stunned once again.

Because the stalker hell king who disappeared after committing a mysterious crime reappeared.

The author has something to say: Before I recover from my listless state, I will not boast about how much I can write every day.

But I feel that there are fewer and fewer people watching it recently... tt Chirp Mi, thank you for the little angels who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
