Criminal Investigation Notes
Chapter 186:
The autumn wind blew across the old corridor, and made a wind chime.This dark and unused anatomy building for many years, the temperature inside is several degrees lower than outside.
This building is obviously some years old. The floor is made of cement and there are no tiles.
Lu Siyu's feet landed on the concrete floor, and he made soft noises. Listening carefully, it caused some echoes in the building.
Principal Zheng and Song Wen walked in behind.
The corridor is a bit dark, and you can see that there are some large or small rooms on both sides. Different signs are hung on the rooms. Some of them are unrecognizable, and some of them can be seen with the handwriting. The nearest door There is a reference room in the middle, the anatomical model room is written in the next room, and the organ storage room and specimen making room are further ahead.
Most of the rooms here have windows, but the windows are closed all the year round, and a thick layer of dust has long been cast, making the corridors very dark.
Zheng Huaian covered his nose and introduced: “This building has three floors. The first floor is where anatomical materials are placed. There are models, organs, atlases, photos and other materials. Most of the things here have been moved. A small number of them are still here. The second floor is the laboratory, and the third floor is the dissection room. It is divided into two types: the overall dissection room and the local dissection room. There are six rooms that can accommodate several classes at the same time. There are large-scale rooms at both ends of the corridor. The elevator is convenient for the transportation of dead bodies."
Lu Siyu walked into a darkroom, tried to press the switch, but the light did not turn on, so he went around the room.
Song Wen was also shining with a flashlight. There was a bone in the corner and some small jars soaked in formalin. He squatted down and looked at the bone. It was covered with dust. Fortunately, it was only a model. You can draw out the plastic. The texture of this, suddenly saw a white bone in this abandoned building, it is still a bit scary, here is like a horror film set.
However, Lu Siyu watched with great interest, and felt like visiting an old human body museum.He turned and looked at the small jar on the shelf.On the old shelves, there are still some jars with soaked organs. Some organs in them are contaminated and are not complete. Some of the jars have problems with the sealing. Formalin has dried up long ago, and only what is left is The dry organs were discarded here and not taken away.
"Here, there's really nothing to look at..." Zheng Huaian didn't want to enter those rooms, and said on the side, "Two police officers, are you sure you still want to watch it?"
Song Wendao: "We just wander around, we won't damage this place. If President Zheng is afraid, we can wait for us outside."
"No...whatever." Zheng Huaian immediately denied, "This is the place where I used to go to school, how can I be afraid." At this point, Zheng Huai'an paused and didn't say too much, "It's just that there are quite a few dead people here. Many, it always makes people feel unsure in their hearts."
Song Wen couldn't help but continue to ask: "President Zheng, I have always been curious, where did the corpses in the medical school come from?"
Principal Zheng said: "Most of them were donated by the remains, and a small part of it was said to be prisoners or people who died outside, but I don't know."
"Then, if there is an extra corpse here, can you find it?" Song Wen opened his brain.
"What?" Principal Zheng reacted for a moment before he said, "That's impossible. Every corpse has a hand card and a number, so it's easy to distinguish."
Song Wen continued to ask: "Then what if the hand card and serial number are falsified? There should be no one to verify it at all..."
"This... I was a student back then, how did I know this..." Principal Zheng was asked.
"Hiding the wood in the forest." Lu Siyu's cold voice suddenly came, and he looked back at Song Wen, "I like this idea. This is a good place to hide the corpse."
Song Wendao: "So, maybe the person who killed Teacher Qiu back then thought that way."
Principal Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Ms. Qiu fell into a fall. Our school can no longer withstand the gossip."
Lu Siyu looked around on the first floor and turned around and said, "I want to go to the corpse pool in the basement."
Generally, the corpse pools in medical schools are set up underground, because the underground is cold and it is more suitable for the storage of corpses.
The modern anatomy building has a cold storage and a pool for distributing corpses.
And in this old autopsy building, the corpse pools are several huge cement pools, poured with formalin and other blended liquids, and then put the corpses in, a corpse pool can soak dozens of corpses.
Zheng Huaian led them to the basement. The room upstairs still showed some light. In the basement, it was completely dark, even colder than the upstairs.
Song Wen has adjusted the flashlight function of the mobile phone to the maximum, and still only shines on a small area in front of him.
"This building is an old building, which is different from the modern building. The current autopsy building is all clean, with a corpse and a pool. The corpses are put in upright for easy inspection and retrieval. At that time, They all use hooks to fish out the corpses from this large corpse pool. We tell the person in charge here how many corpses are needed and what they want, and that person will hook them before our class and put them on the iron net. When the noodles are dried, students will come and lift them up."
The entire basement was very large, with a few thick load-bearing pillars erected. Following Zheng Huai'an's words, they looked under their feet, and there were four deep corpse pools arranged in an orderly manner on the ground.Illuminated with a flashlight, you can see something slimy and disgusting on the bottom.
Each corpse pool is about three by three. Above the pit, you can see a grid made of iron wire. There are holes on the grid that can be opened. Now it is locked.
The smell here is more unpleasant than the upstairs. It may be that the formalin potion was not emptied when it was cleaned up, and there was still a long-lasting rot in the air.
Song Wen waited a little further away from Zheng Huaian, lowered his voice and whispered to Lu Siyu, "This place reminds me of something..."
Lu Siyu looked up and asked him: "What?"
Song Wen whispered: "Yu Huizhi's last words, the gatekeeper of hell... These corpse pools look like eighteen layers of hell."
It's cold and empty here, if it is filled with corpses...
Hell, underworld... These places and the Anatomy Building are often linked together.
From birth, humans cannot overcome the fear of death.When it comes to funeral homes, morgues, morgues, and the dissection building of this hospital, they are all chilling places.
Lu Siyu hummed indifferently. He stood on the edge of a corpse pool, bent down and looked down with a mobile phone. The corpses were taken away, but many corpses were dissected. Some things that do not know what organs or fat are now dried in the pool, looking like a thick sea of blood in hell.
After watching for a while, Lu Siyu stood up and said, "When the corpses here are full, they should look spectacular."
Zheng Huaian seemed to conjure up memories in his heart: "I remember, if Xia Weiqi is different, it is that she is very courageous. Those girls are always scared in the first anatomy class. At that time, it was particularly indifferent. I remember once, she was standing on the edge of the iron net and looking down. At that time, there was a corpse facing upwards. She said indifferently that the human corpse was like this. ...At that time, I remembered that school girl all at once."
The expression of the police officer Lu at this time reminded Zheng Huaian of Xia Wei'an again.
After hearing Zheng Huai'an's words, Lu Siyu took a few steps forward. With each step, the iron net under his feet trembled and made an overwhelming squeak.
Standing on the iron net, Lu Siyu felt that he seemed to be approaching Xia Weiqi all of a sudden. That woman must have done such a thing back then. Where others find it disgusting and terrifying, she feels that she can release herself...
Time and space reversed, Lu Siyu looked down, and his feet suddenly turned into a vast sea of corpses. Those corpses had numb faces, undulating in formalin as the hook stirred.
The nerves in my head are jumping and there is a little pain, as if there is an answer ready...
Before they came, they looked through the autopsy records of the year. The body had alcohol in the stomach, and there was a lot of formalin drowning. There were some scars on their hands, which were traces of struggle. The bodies also had some hooks. Hooking up the scratches, the forensic doctor was unable to determine whether the wounds were caused by the students later when they seized the body.However, Lu Siyu believes that this corpse has just entered the corpse pool, and even if it is accidentally hooked, there will not be too many traces on it. However, in the photo, the traces on the back of the corpse feel obviously more than other people soaked in the pool Dead body.
The day Teacher Qiu drowned was the second night Xia Weiwei returned to school.
That night, Xia Weiqi came back to the bedroom very late.Later, as a student who was close to Teacher Qiu, she also made a simple confession.
According to her, she was reading alone in the study room of the library that night and did not return to the dormitory until the library was closing.The police did not know the exact time of teacher Qiu's death, and could not determine whether she was related to the case.But Lu Siyu judged that she should have enough time to commit a crime.
Both the school and the family felt that the case was a scandal. They were eager to settle the matter, and they might have had some relationship with it.
The body was hurriedly cremated, and the police did not find any new clues. After a period of delay, it was judged as an accident by drowning.
More than 20 years have passed, and now there is no more evidence here, but if he is correct in Xia Wei's profile...
Back then, Xia Weiwei should have been like this, watching the teacher named Qiu drowning in this pond.
Lu Siyu seemed to hear the man's tragic cry for help, which caused echoes in the empty and quiet basement.
Xia Weiqi was standing on the iron net with a cold expression, watching him struggle, calling for help.
His body was immersed in the cold water, his arms were swayed, making a splash of water, and all he reached out to touch were corpses that had been soaked in hard.He was terrified, and every time he struggled to float up, he choked on several mouthfuls of potion. Those were formalin that had been soaked in the corpse, which would burn the internal organs and make people sick.
At that time, she no longer regarded him as a lover, he was just a betrayer.
She enjoys this feeling, and the pleasure of nerves is far greater than the pleasure of physicality.
She was standing here, holding the long hook to fish the corpse in her hand, pressing him down again and again, his hand grabbed the iron net under her feet and was scarred, she tortured repeatedly Hold him, use the hook to press him down until he can't struggle and motionless.
Teacher Qiu will not come here for no reason. He must have been asked by her. At that time, she should have gotten the handle related to him, and then Teacher Qiu was forced to come here.
After his death, the body soon mixed with other bodies.
It was obviously dark and windless, but Lu Siyu felt as if a gust of evil wind swept up from under his feet, mixed with a strong bloody atmosphere, heavy and suffocating.
Lu Siyu knelt down, and he seemed to see the corpse through the iron net. It was different from the other corpses. Only the corpse was fresh and dressed in clothes.His eyes were open, soaking in some muddy water, his whole body was swollen, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to talk something.
"Why did she move to kill you?" Lu Siyu used a very soft voice, as if talking to himself, and as if asking him.
"Maybe she was pregnant with your child, but you were not willing to divorce her for her. You slapped her with words, then asked her to kill the child, and then broke up with her. Things like that are enough to stimulate her and make her crazy. thing……"
The time interval is too far, and the real situation is unknown.
Lu Siyu felt that there was a lot of reasoning, but everything was logical, especially the logic of Xia’s unknown brain thinking.
All this happened in the Anatomy Building in the middle of the night. Teacher Qiu drank alcohol. There is no evidence to prove that he slipped and fell by himself or was thrown down.
In Xia Weiwei's cognition, this was a retaliatory murder without leaving any traces or evidence.
It was also possible that this murder made her feel the pleasure of killing.
The police's failure to pursue it led to her mass murder in the nursing home.
But... if you want to push an adult man into such a pool, she alone can't do it anyway.
If this is the first case, and if Teacher Qiu died by homicide rather than by accident, Xia Weiqi must have an accomplice, and this accomplice is willing to accompany her to kill and keep her secret.
In the darkness ahead, Lu Siyu stood up and was about to move on.
Song Wen suddenly stopped him and said: "Be careful, the iron net is rusty, don't fall."
Although there has been no liquid under this area for a long time, it is not particularly high, but it is still dangerous to fall, and it is very disgusting.
Only then did Lu Siyu withdrew a few steps and came to a safe place.He suddenly turned his head and asked Zheng Huaian: "Xia Weiwei often comes to the Anatomy Building, is he familiar with the person in charge here?"
"The person in charge of the Anatomy Building? The teacher of the Academic Affairs Office?" Zheng Huaian asked him.
"No," Lu Siyu shook his head, "People at the lower level, he is poor, inconspicuous, powerful, and easy to be ignored..."
Principal Zheng thought for a while and said: "It seems...that there is such a man...tall...We don't talk to him very much, but Xia Weiqi knows him very well."
Song Wen asked Zheng Huaian: "Is that person's name on the form?"
Principal Zheng shook his head: "No, I remember that man transported the corpse, not even a school worker."
Lu Siyu said to Song Wen: "This person has a special status. He is not a teacher, he is not necessarily a regular school worker, but a temporary worker. Therefore, he is not on the list of faculty members. But this person can enter and leave the medical school every day. , He knew Xia Weiqi, or maybe, admiring her..."
This is the missing piece in their previous puzzle.Now, all this has finally formed a complete picture with a reasonable explanation.
Lu Siyu sorted out his thoughts again and took a deep breath, "More importantly, that person can use this identity to enter and exit the Wushan Nursing Home."
Elderly people often die in nursing homes. When the body is relatively complete, it is this person who agrees to donate the body.So he is not on the list of nursing homes, but he knows most of the leaders and doctors in nursing homes, and he can enter and leave the nursing homes at will without being suspicious.
Principal Zheng still didn't know what key clues he had unintentionally revealed just now. Seeing the two policemen became excited, he said in a daze, "Is this person critical?"
"Yes, it's very important!" Song Wen also understood, and turned to ask Zheng Huaian, "What do you remember about this man?"
Principal Zheng recalled, "At that time, there was a young man who was in charge of registering and managing corpses. We asked him for corpses every time we went to class. If there is a hospital or where there is a corpse, we will notify him to bring it over. When nothing happened, he was sitting at the door of this anatomy building..."
Song Wen continued to ask: "Then President Zheng, this person, do you know his name? Where did he go later?"
Principal Zheng embarrassed: "This... I don't know what his name is... This is a worker who carries corpses. He does the lowest job. Although he always smiles, the students are afraid of him and usually avoid him. Can't hide it."
This is a job that requires courage and good physical strength, but the income is very low.
At that time, the transportation of the corpses was calculated on a trip basis. The man drove a small broken car and went to the hospital, nursing home, or funeral home alone.Sometimes the corpses had to be carried down from upstairs and transported back to the school. The corpses were cleaned and then soaked in the corpse pool.
That person... When he stayed in this anatomy building, he didn't feel any fear, but felt like home... He was like Quasimodo in the bell tower, silently guarding her goddess.
Principal Zheng thought for a while and said, "Don’t be too discouraged. After the school is merged, all the school staff files have been collected in one place... In this way, I will help you contact and see if you can find this person. Relevant information……"
Song Wen continued to inspire him: "Then how did you call him when you were in school? Does he have any code or nickname?"
When Zheng Huaian heard this, he seemed to think of something, and frowned and recalled: "He always sits at the door of the Anatomy Building. At that time, it seemed that the student gave him a nickname called Hell Gatekeeper. He seemed to like it. This name..."
When Lu Siyu heard these words, his movements suddenly stopped, and it seemed that Song Wen had said it. This person really had something to do with Yu Huizhi's last words.
The three people looked in the basement again, except for the corpse ponds, the other places were already empty.
Lu Siyu suddenly stopped: "I seem to know who that person is..."
Song Wen followed Lu Siyu's hand and looked at it. His mobile phone was shining on the wall. There was a bulletin board for the staff on duty. The first few columns were mentors and the last column was a single photo. It was a young man with a look. Mediocre, a bit fierce, his name is written below, but because of the age, a little worn out, and it can be vaguely seen that the name is Shao Jinting.
Song Wen approached and said, "This person looks so familiar..." He closed his eyes and imagined what this person should look like in twenty years. Then he confirmed more and more and said, "This person, It seems that it was the person who killed Yu Huizhi before..."
Lu Siyu also looked at the pictures on the wall again, and after listening to Song Wen's words, look at it later. The man really looked like the man who committed the murder that night.
Lu Siyu still remembered that it was a clean cut, and only those who are used to seeing life and death in this way can kill Yu Huizhi in full view...
