Chapter 67 Secret Room
Chapter 67 Secret Room
Soon the police brought the prepared lunch box to the little wolf, which included two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, a large plate of vegetables, and rice in a foam box.
"Spicy stir-fried potato shreds and sweet and sour pork tenderloin." Little Wolf's eyes lit up: "They are both my favorite dishes."
He put the rice directly on the iron plate and stirred it with chopsticks to make bibimbap. The way he ate with big mouthfuls looked very appetizing.
Just like he said, we were open until the early morning and then slept until the afternoon. We didn't eat anything and were really starving.
"The food for you police officers is pretty good." This was Little Wolf's evaluation of the dinner.
If the food provided was of this standard and he didn't have to be handcuffed or locked up in a solitary cell, he felt that the next few days of "prison life" would be pretty good.
After dinner, it was getting late and Xu Yiqing planned to go back.
Before leaving, Xiaolang asked him to take a walk around the compound of the Criminal Police Brigade.
Little Wolf said, "I have never been to the Criminal Police Brigade's yard. I used to go to the police station in our area."
His store is in the same district as Jiangcheng No. 4 Middle School.
Xu Yiqing asked: "I have a colleague who also went to No. 4 Middle School."
The little wolf became interested and asked, "What's your name? Maybe I know him."
Xu Yiqing shook his head: "We are not from the same class, and the age difference is quite big."
The moonlight was like water, and he lowered his head to think.
The key to these two cases must be Jiangcheng No. 4 Middle School. There must be some intricate connection between the seemingly unrelated principal of No. 4 Middle School and the nightclub owner.
And this connection is the cause of death!
Xu Yiqing asked: "Did you ever offend anyone when you were studying at No. 4 Middle School?"
Little Wolf said, "How can those things we did in school be considered as hatred? What does a little brat know?"
Looking back at what happened in junior high school with his experience in society, Xiaolang really feels that they were all just trivial things.
What small groups, what jealousy caused by first love, what parents being called in for not doing homework.
These things, which seemed insignificant to adults, seemed like the sky was falling at the time.
He also clearly remembered that after a student talked back to the teacher and his parents were called in, the usually arrogant and domineering class bully burst into tears at the door of the office.
I also remember the boy who had a fight with several female classmates after school.
It has to be admitted that the atmosphere in No. 4 Middle School was indeed very bad at that time, which also laid the groundwork for Xiaolang to engage in these shady businesses and form cliques after entering the society.
Hearing Xiaolang's disdainful tone, Xu Yiqing did not refute anything, but said: "We will find out the culprit behind this as soon as possible. If you think of any clues about the suspect, tell the police on duty."
Just now in the interrogation room, Xu Yiqing clearly heard the suspect say "I remember you".
Could he also be a student of No. 4 Middle School at that time?
But judging from their ages, the two men don’t look like people who would meet in school. Lin Sheng is a few years younger than Xiaolang, and the suspect is about the same age as Lin Sheng.
Little Wolf asked, "Doctor Xu, are you planning to go back?"
Xu Yiqing nodded: "I still have some work to do."
He glanced at his cell phone. It was now past nine o'clock, so he could go back and check the autopsy report of the principal of No. 4 Middle School again.
Ever since the corpse-hiding statue case at the beginning of the year, Xu Yiqing seldom stayed at home. After all, he lived alone, and sleeping anywhere was just a matter of passing the night, and the same could be said for sleeping in the office.
He bought a folding bed in the office. He was not a person who cared about material enjoyment, so the bed did not have to be too comfortable, as long as he could sleep in it.
Little Wolf chuckled, "It's not easy for you, Doctor Xu, to still work so late. If you have time, you are welcome to come and sit with me. As long as you bring your friends, Doctor Xu, everything is free."
Xu Yiqing asked: "Did Li Dusheng say that?"
Xiaolang shook his head: "No, it's my own decision. I think you are a very worthy friend." Xu Yiqing thought for a moment and said, "I'm a boring person, and I think we are from two different worlds."
Xiaolang said seriously, "You are the only one among all the policemen who have been to my store who doesn't think I am a bad guy, so even if you don't want to be my friend, I still recognize you as my friend. What I just said will always count, if you come to play, I will give you free meals... It has nothing to do with my brother Sheng."
Xu Yiqing smiled and said, "If I have the chance, the drinks you mix are really delicious."
-
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Yiqing returned to the Forensic Department.
Mr. Lin had already gone home from get off work, and the only person left in the entire forensic department was the gate guard. Even the clerks and examiners were gone.
Xu Yiqing opened the door of the morgue, turned on the lights, and checked the bodies still inside.
He stopped when he passed cabinet number 206.
206. This year, 206 bodies have stayed in this morgue, lain on the dissecting table, and had their skin cut by their own scalpels.
There are bodies numbered 1 to 7 from the fire in Baxia Village, bodies from car accidents, bodies from work-related injuries, bodies sent to the hospital for identification, bodies from murders, and bodies trapped under statues...
Until recently, body number 206 was found to have had his throat slit.
Xu Yiqing held the autopsy report in his hand. Because the cause of death was too clear, he really couldn't see any valuable clues.
He put the autopsy report back into the file bag and took out the photos of the crime scene and the wardrobe from the file bag.
"The murder happened in a secret room. If we know how the [Cleaner] created the secret room, maybe we can catch her sooner."
"How did the murderer escape from the closed room?"
As I was thinking, there was suddenly a strange noise outside the door.
The lights suddenly went out and then the door was closed!
Anyone else would have been scared to death after experiencing such a thing in a room full of corpses.
Even Lin Sheng didn't dare to stay in the morgue late at night.
But Xu Yiqing was not afraid at all, instead he shouted towards the door: "Who is it?"
The closed door was pushed open again, and it was the security guard downstairs.
"Doctor Xu, are you in there? I'm so sorry. These past two days, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang always left the lights on when they left. I thought they forgot to turn them off again... Are you still busy so late?"
The guard turned the light back on with a smirk on his face.
He really couldn't understand why Xu Yiqing was going to the morgue alone at 10 o'clock?
Moreover, he didn't even notice that Xu Yiqing came back. He couldn't let Xu Yiqing know that he was just being lazy and browsing his phone.
In addition to the doorman, only two forensic doctors have the key to the Forensic Department, so Xu Yiqing and Lin Sheng can come back to get things or work overtime without bothering the doorman.
"The case is very critical. I will be working overtime frequently these days. You can go back after get off work. I will be responsible for the water, electricity, doors and windows." Xu Yiqing said.
The security guard was happy to hear this. Who wouldn't be happy to get off work early? But he still had to say some nice things.
"Doctor Xu, since you said so, I will obey your order... After all, if I lock you in and lock you up from the outside, you will really have to spend the night here with the corpse, and I will only let you out when I go to work tomorrow."
After saying this, the guard looked around the morgue cabinets in the room and felt a chill all over his body.
Xu Yiqing was stunned when he heard this, as if a flash of inspiration had come to him!
There are generally twelve types of locked rooms, and these twelve types of locked room murders actually boil down to two categories.
Real secret rooms and fake secret rooms.
A true locked room is one where the murderer kills someone without entering the room, or puts the key back into the room after leaving.
The fake secret room is very simple.
Or maybe the room wasn't completely sealed at all.
Or...the murderer never left the room at all!
