Daqing Criminal Division

Next, Pan Er, who has taken over the case for almost half a month, is reviewing the case.

The incident this time, as expected, was the same as the first case of the magistrate's wife.

After that, the author's signature on the "How many people are on the vase" published publicly for the second time is also the king of hell.

Who is the hell king, no one knows.

But the first impression of the mysterious statue that appeared this time was extremely ordinary.

There is only the bottom corner of the entire mansion newspaper, where a thin-necked plum vase with a white landscape picture is printed in the image on a black background.

The plum vase is a basic decoration in ordinary people's homes.

Because there are many plum blossom decorations in the four treasures of the study, plum blossoms also imply that someone can withstand the bitter cold. A white plum vase with a small mouth and short shoulders is a must-have vessel in a literati's home.

But the strange thing is that the light and shadow on the surface of this white plum vase, the color and the scene are very realistic. It seems that there is such a plum vase in this world, and it can give different people different visual illusions at a glance.

Because the first time I saw the title, I knew it was an intellectual question.

Therefore, after discovering the image in the lower corner of the mansion newspaper, many people tried to look at the painting carefully, trying to identify how many people were reflected on the plum vase.

Some people said that they saw a figure in the bottle.

On the shadow directly in front of the plum vase, it looks like a man dressed up.

Some people said there were two, and the shadow of a child with a tiger-headed hat can be seen on the left side.

Someone said it was wrong, and there were two shadows of women, one tall and one short, who seemed to be standing next to the man. On the top and right, the silhouettes of two women really appeared on the vase.

As people observe carefully from different angles, it seems that all kinds of different people can really be seen from the images.

At first, I just thought there was no one on this bare vase.

Afterwards, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that the blurry shadows printed on the vase looked like people.

It is a wonder that so many different answers can be drawn from a simple painting of a vase on a white background.

But where did this vase come from.

In the image of the vase printed in the lower corner of the mansion newspaper, the family that was suspected to be reflected by others and who was being observed and monitored by others, even the government did not know for sure.

"Because of this, we asked a lot of forensic experts from Songjiang Mansion to come and see it."

"The method of talking about this portrait is actually a psychological suggestion method, which can cause different people to have visual illusions, because everyone has this kind of vase, and we couldn't find who it was at first."

"But at this time, a family also came to report, saying that someone in the family was missing."

"At that time, the yamen realized that something was wrong, but when we went to this house to have a look, you knew what was going on - there really was such a plum vase in this family's house, and it was placed in the middle of the house!"

When it came to this, even Pan Er, who was staying in front of his desk and discussing the case with Fucha Erji and Duan Xiao, felt terrified.

For the past three or nine days, the Pingyang county yamen's house has clearly not opened any windows.

But this feeling of sultry air-conditioning is really like there are some weird people around them staring at them.

But for Pan Er's statement, Duan Xiao, who came to his place early in the morning and sat opposite him after listening to the case, seemed to have some opinions of his own.

Because the case this time was extremely rare in his opinion with rich experience in the past.

He has heard of such stalking cases handled by government offices in the past. At most, they are incidents where idlers follow some good women and wait for an opportunity to commit crimes. This kind of secret is hidden in other people's homes, and they are peeping and monitoring day and night. It's really unheard of.

However, in his impression, such addictions mostly occurred in the former dynasty.

In the Tang and Song Dynasties, it is said that the earliest such case happened, and it was recorded by a Tiqi named Jia Ding.

At that time, in Chang'an City, there was also such a midnight peeping incident. An official surnamed Cui had a young lady in his family, but in the lady's boudoir, there were always traces of things being slightly moved.

Her embroidered shoe comb would be replaced by someone from time to time, and every night she always felt as if someone was sitting at the head of the bed looking at her, touching her, and talking in her ear.

At first, Ms. Cui thought it was just a nightmare or a ghost haunting her, but later she became terrified, so she asked her father to order the family servants to watch quietly outside the house at night.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the servants looked through the paper windows in the lady's house.

I saw that one of the boxy imperial concubines in Miss Cui's house was opened to the outside, and then she actually walked out of the person, and went straight to Miss Cui's bed, and wanted to hug and touch her again. The servant saw that the situation was not good. Go forward and grab this person immediately.

Afterwards, the Tiqiguards came to Master Cui's house to investigate the matter.

I just learned that the imperial concubine's couch is usually covered with a fox fur cushion, but the place under the fox fur is hard to find by ordinary people. The top of the wooden box with traps is actually hollow in the middle when it is closed.

This man was originally a man who worked as a carpenter in Chang'an City.

Because he had long coveted the beauty of the young lady, he had evil thoughts.He used to hide in this wooden box mechanism, and came out every night when no one was there to peep at the lady. This case was later called the wooden box case, and it was also the origin of this kind of stalking and peeping case.

It's just that this hell king is simply a person with a special hobby of voyeurism?

Or is it for other purposes, that's why you take the initiative to commit crimes again and again? ——This point, it seems that no one has figured it out yet.

"The source of the printing of the second residence newspaper, can't give any news about this hell king?"

Thinking of this, thinking of the source of the two incidents, Duan Xiao also raised his head and asked Pan Er.

"Yes, I can't find it. We have also blocked these two mansion newspapers, but who knows if two mansion newspapers have been sealed, will there be other mansion newspapers that will accept the things sent by this person afterward?"

"Then the plum vase in this portrait, did you take it back to the government for inspection?"

Duan Xiao asked again.

"I've tested it, but it's really just a very ordinary bottle. Except for the position in the portrait and the way the light shines in, there's nothing special about it."

"We found some specific details after the investigation, and found that it was very similar to the magistrate's house at that time. This family seemed to be broken into by a stranger and monitored for a period of time. The magistrate's wife was safe and sound in the end, but the male head of the family, Kang Juren disappeared, and his wife even said that before her husband disappeared, she felt once that someone had entered the house."

Talk about the specific identity information of the second missing person.

Pan Er thought for a while, then pointed to the miniature picture of the vase on the newspaper clipping in front of him and said.

"This plum vase is usually placed next to the Bogu shelf in Kang Juren's study, facing the window of the house, but on the opposite side, there is only one wall and nothing else."

"As for the shadows refracted in the painting, it is the daily life of the Kang family. The one in the middle is Kang Juren, the left side is Kang Juren's son, and the two women pouring tea next to him may refer to his wife and second concubine."

"Based on this speculation, the Hell King also came to Kang Ju's family, knew who was in his family, and left a tracking record. In the end, he took the initiative to leave clues to tell the government that he had kidnapped Kang Ju."

"But after that, the King of Hell disappeared again. This is the most puzzling part of this case."

Up to now, it has been ten days since Kang Juren's life and death, and the government has not yet made a conclusion.

What is certain is that Kang Juren's body was not found in the entire state government office, and he just disappeared out of thin air.

But right now, a third related case seems to have happened.

The owner of the sedan chair at the bottom of the river has not been found yet, which makes people think a little bit.

Hearing this, Fucharzi, who was still sitting across from the two of them, casually flipping through the newspaper clippings with one hand, seemed to have grasped some important points.

So after thinking about it, the guy who was still clasping his hands in silence suddenly moved closer to the table, and pulled out the small portrait of Kang Dongming, which belonged to the second missing person in the pair of yamen files.

His behavior looked a little abnormal.

But looking at it this way, the missing person, Kang Juren, does look like an ordinary middle-aged man, and from the files, it can be seen that his family background is clean and he has no criminal record, which also rules out the possibility of purposeful revenge and revenge.

But the five small portraits in the first mansion newspaper and the vase picture in the second time.

It all confirmed one point in the dark, that is, in the magistrate's wife and another family, there was a person who stayed in their house secretly for a period of time and watched them.

In this way, the stalker who peeped at others time and time again may really have a certain kind of fanatical desire to spy on others.

"Perhaps, there is another possibility that his criminal trajectory, or all the clues before committing the crime, are also related to which work is continuing to be published in another civilian newspaper at the moment." Fucharzi said.

"What does it mean?"

Pan Er was taken aback when he heard this.

"These three cases were not announced after the fact, but in advance, but it just so happens that no one has discovered it yet?"

"notify in advance?"

Fucha's guess came quite suddenly, and Pan Eryi was also a little confused when he heard it. He didn't understand what kind of charade the person opposite was playing.

"..."

But after hearing what he said, Duan Xiao, who had been reading the newspaper clippings and the incident line of the disappearance on the table, seemed to understand what he meant.

He picked up the time in the lower corner of the two newspaper clippings in Fucharzi and Pan's second-hand and compared them.

I also checked the time when the peeping case and the disappearance case occurred.

Seeing the two incidents, both of which were the disappearance incident first and the publication later, and there was almost two or three days between them, I squinted my eyes clearly.

"Are you saying that there is a difference between the time when these newspapers were printed and the time when these small portraits were sent?"

Duan Xiao turned his head sideways and asked someone this sentence.

"Yes, that's what I meant."

Knowing that he was present, he was probably the only one who understood what he was talking about.

A certain person who had been thinking about the cause and effect of it also sat up straighter, followed Duan Xiao's words, pointed to the time of these newspaper clippings in front of the three of them and speculated.

"There has always been a time gap between the receipt of the Mansion Newspaper and the actual publication."

"Lead type printing needs to be typeset in advance, and it will take two or three days no matter how fast it is."

"Maybe Di Bao received the manuscript two days ago, but when it was printed, everyone saw that he had already reported it to the official. I don't think he told you what happened after the fact. This is not in line with a really arrogant man. The mentality of the person who printed this kind of thing in the mansion newspaper, he didn’t have such kind intentions, maybe he was just notifying you in advance that I was going to commit a crime.”

"Before committing a crime every time, he has already preset the target of his crime, maybe it's a kind of show off, maybe it's a kind of display."

"Then combined with the situation this time, the third sedan chair has been discovered, but you haven't received a report yet, and you haven't found any submissions on other residence newspapers, so there is a possibility."

"That is, the statuette that the Hell King wants others to see this time has not been printed yet."

As soon as these words came out, Pan Er, whose expression changed on the opposite side, immediately understood.

The words of Fucha and Duan Xiao are obvious.

That is to know who is in the third case of disappearance. You might as well find out where the peeping record left by the king of hell before committing a crime this time is.

In order to verify this conjecture, the discussion between the three is obviously still in progress.

However, he had already impatiently yelled to the door first, and then called in a small policeman outside.

When the people from outside came in in a hurry, Pan Er, who seemed in a hurry, sorted out his thoughts, then threw a search warrant over, waved and said,

"Tell everyone not to be busy with other things first! Let me check the review manuscripts in other type printing factories in Pingyang in the past two days, and see if there are any strange miniatures that have been sent and have not been printed this time. Hurry up , it’s best to finish it before Master Liu comes back!”

These words, between the lines, still revealed the 'fear' of the boss, but after saying that, the little policeman was also ordered to lead someone to look for him.

Because of this incident in the morning, at noon this day, the officers and soldiers of Pingyang County mobilized collectively, and once again searched several nearby Dibao printing factories that had not been sealed up in the past.

The purpose of this time is to find out if there are any suspicious little statues among them.

The result was unexpected. When a printing factory in the east of the city was searched, there was a small portrait that had not had time to start typesetting and printing.

During this period, Pan Er has been wandering around the Yamen anxiously waiting for news from outside.

Fuchaerzi and Duan Xiao, who came to take charge of the case this time, were also waiting to verify whether their guess was correct.

As soon as he heard that he had found something that seemed to have new evidence related to the case, Pan Er immediately ran over to look at it, but when he arrived at the scene, he realized that this thing was really what Fucha and Duan Xiao had said Yes, it's a piece that didn't have time to print.

It's just that even other people can't understand the things painted on it this time.

Because this time, the little portrait doesn't have any title.

There's just an empty box, completely blank in the middle.

There is a dot left at the bottom.

A black, strange black dot that stands out only in the middle of the portrait.

What exactly this black spot refers to, no one understood at first.

After all, even Fuchaerzi and Duan Xiao couldn't fully guess the criminal's purpose from a black spot.

But because the sedan chair at the bottom of the river was salvaged, the government is temporarily investigating information, and it has fallen into a deadlock.

But only five or six hours later, at the gate of the Pingyang County Yamen, finally, like the previous two times, the belated reporter and a pair of anxious parents arrived.

They claimed that they lived in Mingqiao Village, Pingyang County.

The man's surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Mingtang, and the woman's name is Chen Mingtang's wife's grandson, Chen Shi. Their only son suddenly disappeared yesterday.Others claimed that before the incident, someone had seen a sedan chair parked in front of their house.

No one knows when and where the sedan chair stopped, and how it disappeared afterwards.

But after a while, someone witnessed that their only son, Shuanghuan, who was only ten years old this year, walked into this sedan chair to play alone, and was never found again.Wait for the servants who usually take care of their husband and wife's family to find out.

The child disappeared from one person and hurriedly told the couple, but this time, no matter where he went, he couldn't find anyone.

The weirdest thing is that when Shuanghuan left, a black dot exactly like this small portrait was painted on the gate of Chen's house.

This black spot is exactly the same as the black spot on the mansion newspaper that didn't come in time.

It's like someone hiding in the dark wants to tell others that I have been to your house, and now I have taken your son away.

No one knows what the black dot represents.

But the magistrate's wife, Kang Juren and the Chen family's youngest son Shuanghuan.

These three consecutive cases seem to have verified the fact that the stalker hell king is still waiting for an opportunity to commit crimes in Pingyang County, and kidnapped the victim again without anyone noticing.

——Now, even Fuchaerzi and Duan Xiao began to feel that something was really wrong.
