When everyone in the group and Lei Chi re-watched the surveillance video of that rainy night, Xiao Liu, who had visited Wang Zheng's home with Lei Chi, discovered a strange thing: two old people who left the community were each carrying a big luggage. box.

The two of them briefly checked in Wang Zheng's parents' bedroom that day, and the two elderly people did take some clothes, shoes and socks with them when they "leaved home", but no matter what, these luggage absolutely did not need to be loaded into two suitcases.Judging by comparing the pictures, the two suitcases are each 28 inches in size, and only one suitcase is enough to hold their disappearing clothes.

There are many places for this doubt to diverge.Lei Chi stopped Xiao Liu and the others from imagining, and asked them to divide into two groups. One group went to Wang Zheng to find out about the situation and asked him about the suitcase, while the other group went to Xie Shaoqian's shop to ask Xie Shaoqian about the situation. Why did Zhou leave Beijing?

It's just that the situation took a turn for the worse, from a missing persons case to a murder case.

According to Xie Shaoqian's initial statement, the two elderly people were subdued by Wang Zheng at home and packed into a 28-inch suitcase, and then Wang Zheng and Xie Shaoqian in disguise were transferred to Xie Shaoqian's residence together.Although Xie Shaoqian lives in a shop, he also has another residence in the suburbs. Since many nearby residents have moved out, it is a good place to hide.Xie Shaoqian said that he did not know at the time that Wang Zheng had intended to kill people, and he had persuaded Wang Zheng not to do it, but Wang Zheng refused to listen. Xie Shaoqian was afraid of implicating himself, so he took the two old people to his residence and left immediately. Later, he received a call from Wang Zheng Only then did he realize that he had murdered and mutilated his body, and threatened Xie Shaoqian to help him deal with the follow-up matters.

Lei Chi kept having various thoughts in his mind.He always thought of the young man who was waiting for him at the gate of the crisis office on a rainy night, timid, wretched, and inferior.Thinking about it now, those timid behaviors may not be entirely out of inferiority complex about his half-zombified human identity.After all, he had just killed his parents, maybe he was really scared, maybe it was just to pretend.

Reporting that his parents were missing, Lei Chi believed that Wang Zheng's actions at least proved that he was very calm.Wang Zheng stayed at home for a long time, but his parents did not.According to the attitudes of the neighbors and neighbors I met when I went to Fuxing Sancun, if Wang Zheng's parents didn't see each other for a few days, there would definitely be a lot of gossip and gossip, which Wang Zheng absolutely couldn't handle.Originally, his parents already had the idea of ​​leaving him, so Wang Zheng simply followed the trend, making it logical for his parents to leave home.

This person is very smart and conceited - Lei Chi thought, but also very cruel.

Xie Shaoqian mentioned "dividing the body" in his preliminary confession.When Wang Zheng came to the Crisis Office that day, based on time calculations, his parents' bodies had already been disposed of.Facing the investigators immediately after committing a crime, Wang Zheng was terrified but calm. Lei Chi was confused by his contradictions.

There was already a commotion in Fuxing No. [-] Village, with crowds of onlookers.Wang Zheng was taken away by the people from the Crisis Office, and the police station in the jurisdiction that jointly handled the case had to dispatch to search Wang Zheng's house together with Lei Chi's people.There were a lot of electronic accessories in Wang Zheng's room. The captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the police station picked up Wang Zheng's earphones on the bedside and looked at them for a long time with a frown.

"Team Leader Lei." He greeted Lei Chi, "Come and see...no, you should smell it."

This is a white headset with a beautiful and smooth shape, and there are only two seams on the whole pair of headphones.Lei Chi saw the black residue in the seam, he moved his nose and smelled it: "It's blood."

The detachment leader's face darkened: "Xie Shaoqian said that the place where the body was dismembered was at his home, why is it that Wang Zheng's earphones are stained with blood?"

Not daring to delay, everyone immediately invited on-site forensic personnel from the city bureau to test the luminol reaction in the house.

But surprisingly, apart from this pair of headphones, there was no large area of ​​blood remaining at the scene.

The earphones were put into the evidence bag, and the captain said to himself: "Use this earphone to subdue two people? Can this knock people out?"

Lei Chi shrugged and said nothing.Wang Zheng's computer was also taken away. He stood in the youth's bedroom and looked around with an unusually heavy heart.The already bad image of semi-zombified humans in society will definitely be dealt another devastating blow because of this case.

On the way from Wang Zheng's house to the police station, Xiao Liu answered a phone call, turned around and told Lei Chi, "Xie Shaoqian drove out of town to abandon the corpse. His van is a Wuling van, which is usually used to deliver goods, and no one suspects it. The body parts were in the suitcase, and they poured some cement into it to make sure the suitcase would sink to the bottom when it got in the water."

Another colleague in the car was puzzled: "These two people are still dismembered? Aren't you afraid of being smelled? You are so fucking brave."

Lei Chi: "It was stormy those few days, few people went out, and the smell was washed away by the wind and rain."

Xiao Liu hesitated to speak, hesitating for a long time before whispering: "In fact, not only dismembering the corpse, but in order to prevent the DNA from being found after the corpse is found, Xie Shaoqian said that Wang Zheng also boiled the corpse. The people from the police station are rushing to Xie Shaoqian's house, the scene... should be quite something."

There was a sudden silence in the car, and after a long time, Lei Chi's colleague spat viciously: "Oh my god, those are his parents."

Lei Chi arrived at the police station in the jurisdiction. Many people in the station heard that this well-known young man in the crisis office was a werewolf.Lei Chi was used to these gazes, he didn't care, and followed the detachment leader directly into the interrogation room.

"Xie Shaoqian made a quick confession, and he basically answered whatever we asked." The detachment leader told Lei Chi, "Lei, I'm sorry, but you can't participate in the interrogation. We have to do it now."

Xiao Liu grumbled in a low voice: "You should do it in the first place."

Lei Chi glanced at him, and he quickly fell silent. "I understand. Team Yang, can you ask me a question?" Lei Chi said.

Detachment leader: "You say."

Lei Chi: "Ask about that pair of headphones."

Detachment leader: "Earphones? What's wrong with the earphones?"

Lei Chi: "I always feel that earphone is a little familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it before."

Compared with Xie Shaoqian's speed of confession, Wang Zheng kept silent.

After he was brought back to the Crisis Office, he remained silent until Lei Chi came back and entered the interrogation room with Xiao Liu.

Wang Zheng glanced at Lei Chi and quickly lowered his head.He doesn't need to disguise now, Lei Chi confirmed that this should be his habitual action, he is afraid of meeting other people's eyes.

Half-zombified humans are very conspicuous in appearance: red eyeballs, wrinkled skin, pale face and hair, and gradually stiff joints.With the invasion of the virus and the deterioration of the condition, the brains of semi-zombified humans will gradually become hollow, which will make them lose the ability to speak, walk and think year by month, and finally only the primitive desire to survive remains: Food became their only pursuit.

But now there are many types of drugs to control the zombie virus, and the effect is very good.As long as you strictly follow the doctor's instructions to take medicine and reexamination, the disease can be strictly controlled.In the semi-zombified human office, the semi-zombified human employment guidance center and the semi-zombified human branch of the National Museum set up within the Crisis Office, many special humans like Wang Zheng are still working normally.

Lei Chi looked at Wang Zheng who was being questioned by Xiao Liu, and didn't speak for a while.

There are also three semi-zombified humans in the criminal investigation department, and they are in different jobs.Perhaps it was because Lei Chi himself was also a special human being. Most of the people he came into contact with on a daily basis were not sentinel guides, but werewolves and semi-zombified humans. In a sense, they were all of the same kind.The same kind gets along very well with the same kind. Except for the long-standing grievances between the underground people and the semi-zombified humans, most special humans are happy to communicate with special humans.There is no barrier between each other, and there is no need to think carefully when speaking.

But Lei Chi couldn't help thinking at this moment, would this make them think they were in a safe and equal space, and ignore the larger number of ordinary people outside the circle?

"It's hard for people like us to live normally." Wang Zheng said hoarsely.

Lei Chi knew that he could not fully understand Wang Zheng's pain.He was just thinking, would Wang Zheng be more difficult than his three colleagues?A closed environment is closed, but it is also relatively safe.

Or maybe, the pain is simply incomparable.No matter how small the pain seems to others, it is a pain that tears the heart and lungs when it falls on oneself. It is a pain that can only be endured by gritting your teeth. People who can't bear it can't understand.

"The relationship between parents and children is too difficult. I really don't understand it, and I don't know how to deal with it." Wang Zheng said in a low voice, "It's like mutual torture that will never stop. I can't always treat them as showing off and proud Even without the capital, they couldn’t give me the support and understanding I wanted.”

Xiao Liu: "Is that why you killed them?"

Wang Zheng: "...Not exactly."

After the end of this year, Xie Shaoqian's shop failed to get back the funds in time. He and Wang Zheng tried their best, one borrowed money from underground banks, and the other borrowed money online with their ID cards, and finally got over the difficulty temporarily.But the business in the store has not improved, and the two of them really can't keep going. Seeing that the repayment period is coming, they can't even make up half of the payment.Under Xie Shaoqian's reminder, Wang Zheng remembered that after his parents sold the house in the central city to treat his illness, there seemed to be some money left.Xie Shaoqian came up with the idea of ​​the money, and reminded Wang Zheng: Both old people have pensions, and the pensions are not all used on you now?

But after learning of Wang Zheng's plan, his parents became furious almost instantly.

"A lot of ugly words." Wang Zheng stared blankly at the pen in Lei Chi's hand, "I'm useless, I'm shameless, I'm their drag. I'm obviously their parasite, and I still have the nerve to ask them for money .”

He suddenly shrank his neck, as if thinking of something that made him uncomfortable.

"...my mother said something." Wang Zheng's wrinkled face trembled, as if he wanted to laugh, but the other corner of his mouth drooped, and he gritted his teeth fiercely, "I told her that I can support myself quite well. , not too much, just 5 yuan, and it will be paid back in a month. I asked them to trust me once. She looked at me and said, you are not a human being anymore, why should I trust you?"

Wang Zheng wanted to raise his hands to scratch his face, but his hands were handcuffed and he couldn't lift them up.He swayed on the stool, looked at Xiao Liu and Lei Chi: "She said I'm not human, so what the hell am I? Ha."

Xiao Liu looked at Lei Chi, Lei Chi hadn't said anything, so he could only keep asking.

"Is this the beginning of murder?" Xiao Liu asked, "Xie Shaoqian said he persuaded you."

"He didn't persuade me." Wang Zheng said calmly, "He told me that he had a suitable place to deal with troubles, and he also told me to remember to ask for the password of the pension account before doing anything."

In addition to the money left over from the sale of the house, Wang Zheng and Xie Shaoqian also needed retirement funds.Therefore, the two old people can't die, they can only disappear, and they can only pretend to be abandoned sons and temporarily lose contact.The suitcase was bought by Wang Zheng. He told his parents that Xie Shaoqian planned to buy some parallel imports when he was traveling in Hong Kong, but his parents did not doubt the purpose of the suitcase.Xie Shaoqian even proposed the idea of ​​cooking the body parts. In order to perfectly disguise all this as disappearance, he even offered to take the suitcase to other cities to dispose of the body.

"He asked me to take out all the money, and I will split it with him fifty-five." Wang Zheng said, "I agreed. I recorded all the conversations about these things, and you can find them in the data disk on my computer. These voice recordings."

Xiao Liu memorized all his words.

"...So it's not long after the year that you already have plans to do something?" Lei Chi asked.

"I've thought about it for a long time." Wang Zheng was very calm, as if he was narrating a story, "They are always dissatisfied with me, starting from when I failed the college entrance examination. I don't want to move after being infected with the zombie virus. But they feel ashamed. I am a victim, what shame should I have? But they don’t think so. After moving to Fuxing Sancun, I lost contact with my friends, and there is no suitable place to work for people like us, except staying at home. Where else can I go?"

He was getting more and more angry.

"In the original place, other people still know how I got infected. The three villages in Fuxing are full of gossip and gossip. They don't make excuses, but they scold me when they come back, saying that I am not good. I didn't get into a good university, and I couldn't find a good job. Why do I need to be a door-to-door salesman? Naturally, it's impossible for me to encounter such a thing and drag the whole family down..."

He spoke too hastily, and he coughed again and again.The gradual fibrosis of the vocal cords and throat will make it difficult for him to speak, and his swallowing function will decline. Wang Zheng took a few breaths and closed his mouth.

"How did you do it?" Lei Chi asked again.

It rained for several days, intermittently at first, and then gradually increased.After Wang Zheng and Xie Shaoqian agreed to do it, he mixed sleeping pills into the tea at home and let the two old people drink it.After the two of them fell asleep, Wang Zheng packed them into big suitcases respectively, and waited for Xie Shaoqian to pick him up.Xie Shaoqian parked his car in a blind corner of the surveillance system, and on the way here, taking advantage of the increasing rain, he smashed several surveillance cameras with rocks.Wang Zheng and Xie Shaoqian put on old people's clothes. In order to make their thin body look more like their mother's, Wang Zheng put on several clothes.

Holding umbrellas and hats, the two slowly pushed their suitcases out of the community.The security booths in the community are useless, and there are almost no people on the road.Everything went smoothly beyond their imagination, and the two successfully transferred the suitcase to Xie Shaoqian's home.

While waiting for the old man to wake up, Xie Shaoqian and Wang Zheng prepared the rice cooker and pot.

After the parents woke up, they immediately knew something was wrong, and hurriedly begged Wang Zheng and Xie Shaoqian for mercy.In front of Xie Shaoqian, Wang Zheng asked the passwords of the pension account and the regular savings account at home from the two of them.

"I told them, just give me the PINs for superannuation and deposits, and I'll let them go."

Xiao Liu: "Do your parents believe it?"

Wang Zheng was silent for a moment.

His face twisted oddly for a moment in the light.

"...My father doesn't believe it, but my mother does." He twitched, his voice changed a bit, "My mother said clank, mother believes you, don't hurt mother."

Lei Chi and Xiao Liu Fei glanced at each other quickly: Wang Zheng was shaking.

"She was still crying." Wang Zheng began to pant again, "I... I rarely saw her cry at first. But she often cried later, especially after knowing that I was infected with the virus."

Xiao Liu asked again: "What were you thinking at the time? You made a move in the end. What did Xie Shaoqian do?"

"Xie Shaoqian is in the room, he urged me to hurry up." Wang Zheng lowered his head, panting heavily.His lacrimal glands have been eroded by the virus, and it is very difficult for him to cry.

In order to make it easier for Wang Zheng to attack, Xie Shaoqian raised the rice cooker and knocked the two elderly people unconscious.

"...Then I put on the earphones and used a kitchen knife to do things." Wang Zheng didn't look up, he put his head on his hands, his voice was hoarse and low, "It's hard to cut... I don't have enough strength in my hands, Xie Shaoqian refused to help me, he He said he couldn't kill people. I did everything myself. He refused to help me when cooking, and he said it was too smelly, so he ran outside."

It took a full day to chop and cook.Wang Zheng was so tired that he collapsed in a pool of blood all over the floor, and his earphones were stained with blood at that time.

Lei Chi straightened up: "Why are you wearing headphones?"

Wang Zheng: "...I want to calm down. It can calm me down."

Lei Chi: "When your mother begged you, did you no longer want to kill someone?"

Wang Zheng: "I don't know... I still think about it, it's just... I just don't dare."

Recalling the events of that day, he finally seemed flustered.

Lei Chi: "So you put on the earphones so that you can strike calmly?"

Wang Zheng: "I can't do it. If my parents are let go, they won't let me go."

While cleaning up the scene and pouring cement into the suitcase, Xie Shaoqian told him that he should pretend to be looking for his parents, and it would be better to report the case to the police station, so that the disappearance would appear more real.The heavy rain did not stop at that time, and Wang Zheng still pretended to be a bloated and fat man and returned home.After taking off the disguise, he went out in a black raincoat, walked around Fuxing Sancun several times, and asked a few people how to get to the police station.No one gave him a good face, Wang Zheng finally came to the crisis office and met Lei Chi.

"When you did it, didn't you regret it?" Xiao Liu couldn't help asking.

Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then his face began to twitch again.His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

"When my mother cut her throat, she woke up from the pain... She couldn't speak anymore, but I knew what she said... She said clang, and my mother was in pain..." Wang Zheng trembled violently, "While I was crying, I Cut...I don't want to...I'm sad too..."

Lei Chi scratched his head, stared indifferently at the trembling Wang Zheng, got up and left the interrogation room, and asked another person to replace him.

The office was filled with smoke, so he cleared the fog and walked out of the office building of the Crisis Office.While breathing in the yard, he saw a little fluffy head poking out from the side door of the office building.

Almost instantly, Lei Chi came to his senses.

It was a kitten with big ears and big eyes, staring at him non-stop.

"...Hush." ​​Lei Chi didn't know how to greet the kitten. After booing for a long time, he squatted down carefully and waved at it, "Meow?"

He meowed rough, the cat's hairs stood on end, he turned and ran into the side door.

There was only one office in the side door, and only one person in that office had kittens.

Lei Chi got up and walked to the dispensing department, stretching his clothes on the way.His clothes were stained with the stench of tobacco, and he wasn't sure if Bai Xiaoyuan was used to the smell.

The sand cat was nestled on Bai Xiaoyuan's desk, and when it saw Lei Chi walking in, it subconsciously became so nervous that its tail stood up, and it meowed at him out of breath.

Lei Chi: "..."

How fun, he thought.

Both Tang Cuo and Bai Xiaoyuan were working at their desks. Bai Xiaoyuan looked up at him, nodded in greeting, and continued to ponder over the information at hand.

"Where's Qin Ge?" Lei Chi asked.He did have something to ask Qin Ge, and Qin Ge seemed to want to talk to him about some problems. He said to himself: I didn't come here just for the kitten.

"I went upstairs for a meeting with Xie Zijing." Tang made a fuss about the documents in his hand, "There are work arrangements."

Lei Chi: "There have been no major events recently."

"It's not too big." Tang Cuo smiled, "But this year Director Gao plans to conduct a sea area screening for the sentinel guides of government agencies and universities."

Lei Chi understood: "Because of Bi Xingyi?"

Tang Cuo nodded, seemingly hesitant to speak: "...In short, that's it. Xiaoyuan and I got some information and are studying it."

Lei Chi finally seized the opportunity and turned to look at Bai Xiaoyuan and her cat.He suddenly found a pair of familiar white headphones on Bai Xiaoyuan's desk.

He suddenly remembered why he felt familiar with Wang Zheng's earphones: he had indeed seen it on Bai Xiaoyuan's desktop more than once.

"Do you also like listening to music?" He asked Bai Xiaoyuan.

Bai Xiaoyuan raised his head impatiently, looked at Lei Chi and then at the earphone he was pointing at: "This is not an earphone for listening to music, but a white noise earphone for our sentinels."

Lei Chi was taken aback for a moment, said "I'm sorry", and picked up Bai Xiaoyuan's earphones.This pair of earphones is exactly the same as Wang Zheng's, with a large letter H painted on the fuselage.

"This is the high-end white noise earphone of Soli M series." Bai Xiaoyuan hugged the kitten who was getting more and more nervous because of Lei Chi's approach, "It's not suitable for you, it costs more than 3 yuan."

Lei Chi: "Why isn't it suitable for me?"

Bai Xiaoyuan: "This earphone can only listen to special white noise. It is for sentries who cannot maintain a calm state of mind in daily life. Simply put, only sentries and guides can hear the white noise in this earphone clearly. You It's a werewolf, you can only hear some very light noises at most. It can't listen to music, and it's useless if you buy it."

Bai Xiaoyuan had a firm expression of "Don't plan to use the same style as me, you don't have this chance".

Lei Chi first wanted to ask Bai Xiaoyuan why he couldn't keep calm, but he blurted out another question: "Can those half-zombified humans listen?"

"I'm sure you can't hear it, okay?" Bai Xiaoyuan thinks that Lei Chi's comprehension ability is obviously very weak.

Lei Chi: "Thank you, I have the opportunity to treat you to dinner."

Bai Xiaoyuan: "???"

Lei Chi left in a hurry, and Tang Cuo clapped his hands inexplicably.

The author has something to say: The prototype of this case is the "Zhou Kailiang case" in Hong Kong. Interested students can search it. It is a shocking and extreme case.
