i must be in hell

"Comparison of scars."

"The wound was torn from the back, and there were wear marks. You can imagine the movement trajectory of the dagger, from top to bottom, and then slide down."

"The deceased had wounds on his hands."

"Definitely a scratch."

"Where is the trace group?"

"The remaining powder was extracted from the handle of the knife. After inspection, the tissue composition was calcium carbonate and its derivatives, and the composition of the wall skin dropped at the first scene was obtained. The source is the same."

"There are scratches on the wall that match the handle of the knife."

"Then, this may be the case." Ji Yuqiu raised his knife and stood in front of all the appraisal team members. "The deceased held the handle of the knife against the wall, and put his back against the tip of the knife." He made a demonstration, standing in the corner by himself, holding the handle of the knife with both hands.

"Then apply force backwards, and the dagger will pierce the heart." Ji Yuqiu leaned against the wall. "At the same time, the hand holding the dagger lost strength, and the tiger's mouth was scratched by the blade. The deceased fell against the wall, and the handle of the knife rubbed against the wall, leaving secondary scratches on the wound, and the trajectory was up and down, and finally followed Sliding down with the dead body falling to the ground."

He picked up a photo on the table, which was taken when the investigators went to the scene to collect evidence.The deceased was facing the ground with his back to the sky, and the position where he fell was very close to the wall, and it could be seen that the back of his clothes rubbed a lot of old lime on the wall.

"In this way, there will only be fingerprints of two people on the dagger, those of the deceased and Ning Xiao. Getting the knife from behind also looks like murder. This kid has a good mind, but unfortunately he is still too young."

In fact, this method is easy to see through, but the premise is that the investigators are not misled.In the case of being misled by surveillance at first and wishful thinking as murder, few people will pay attention to these small clues.

Ji Yuqiu put down the dagger.

"The chain of evidence is formed."

Everyone in the identification department breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little Li, have you contacted Xu Shangyu? Send him the message." Ji Yuqiu said, "Then it's none of our business."

At the same time, Xu Shangyu's phone vibrated.

He checked out the text message, and when he looked up again, there was already a smile on his face.The teahouse had been emptied, and the criminal police temporarily detained Ding Yiyan's parents and prepared to take them back to the police station.Ning Xiao sat, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Xu Shangyu walked over.

"Congratulations, you have been cleared of suspicion."

Ning Xiao glanced at the text message in his hand. "The identification department has proved that it was a suicide?"

"Yes."

Xu Shangyu was a little surprised, Ning Xiao didn't feel relieved when he got the answer, on the contrary, the shadow shrouded his brows and couldn't go away.

"When he left, ask me." Ning Xiao said suddenly. "He asked, if it was suicide, what was the trigger?"

Both of them knew who this "he" was referring to, the suspicious person posing as a lawyer.He is likely to be the leader of an online suicide organization. Technical investigations revealed that Ding Yiyan had communicated with members of this organization before committing suicide.

"What do you think?" Ning Xiao asked.

There was a few seconds of silence.

"it's me."

"It's you."

Ning Xiao sneered. "You're not welcome at all, officer."

"I'm more honest." Xu Shangyu said shyly, "You don't mind if you say something."

Ning Xiao looked at his smiling face and touched the goose bumps on his arms. "Yes, Honest Officer. The matter is over, can you let me go home?"

"I have to go back to the police station to make a record."

"Do you include dinner?"

"……Bag."

"That's fine."

Seeing that Ning Xiao agreed so boldly, Xu Shangyu couldn't laugh or cry, and was about to talk to him a few more words, when someone came looking for him, so he had to give up.

Looking at this group of busy policemen, and Ding Yiyan's parents who were surrounded by panic.Ning Xiao closed his eyes, feeling a little stuffy in his heart.The sunlight outside the window was very glaring, making him drowsy, and when he was half asleep, he remembered the words that He Ye said when he left.

What is the trigger for suicide?

【Who is the murderer? 】

Yes……

"Ning Xiao."

"Ning Xiao, Ning Xiao!"

Ning Xiao opened his eyes suddenly, and found that he had fallen asleep unknowingly.

The policeman on the opposite side looked at him helplessly, "You are the first one I met when I went to the police station to take notes and fell asleep."

With sweaty palms, Ning Xiao tightened his fists and loosened them again.

"To me?"

"Yes, you can leave after finishing the transcript."

When following the policeman to the office to take notes, Ning Xiao passed a room.Through the window, he could clearly see the people inside, Ding Yiyan's parents.They hugged each other tightly, with overwhelmed expressions on their faces.

"May I ask?"

"what's up?"

"Dead...Ding Yiyan's parents, what are you going to do?"

"You ask this?" The policeman leading the way was a little surprised. "According to their nature, they were considered intentional murders, but fortunately, Team Xu replaced you and did not suffer any injuries. It is estimated that they can be dealt with lightly, but it is hard to say what will happen."

Following Ning Xiao's line of sight, he looked at the parents who had lost their child in the room, and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, the two were still arguing about divorce before the child happened. Now that it has reached this point, both husband and wife want to If you want to take the blame for the other party, you will never mention the divorce again." Shaking his head, he sighed. "Human."

Having lost the flesh and blood of their dearest relatives, for this couple, only each other is the only support now.Only then will I understand in my heart who is the real important person in this world.

Interpol Lu Fei and Zhao Yun were the ones who took notes for Ning Xiao, but the Xu Shangyu he expected did not appear.

"Looking for our captain?" Lu Fei looked at him. "Don't look for it, just stitch the wound."

"Stitch the wound?" Ning Xiao was surprised. "Aren't you uninjured?"

"The bulletproof vest is bulletproof, do you really think it's invulnerable?" Lu Fei snorted, and seeing Ning Xiao's slightly guilty expression, he comforted him, "But it's nothing serious, it's just a few small scratches that didn't reach the internal organs. Well, don't mention anything else, you can go home after finishing your business, come on."

He moved a chair and sat opposite Ning Xiao, and began to ask him some routine questions.At the end of the question, Lu Fei asked: "Do you still have any memory of that fake lawyer?"

A man who called himself He Ye pretended to be Ning Xiao's legal aid lawyer. After the incident was exposed, the criminal police were very curious about why he approached Ning Xiao.According to available information, He Ye is one of the founders of a suicide organization that is wanted on the Internet. He has a large group under him. Over the past few years, criminal police from all over the country have been investigating them, but with little success.And this big fish would actually come to a small county town to create a suicide case, and wantonly get close to Ning Xiao, it is really incomprehensible.

Ning Xiao shook his head, "I don't know each other, I just met once."

"Really?" Lu Fei obviously didn't believe it.

Ning Xiao disdains. "Cheat you to have food?"

"Okay, I'll just remind you." Lu Fei said: "You don't know, this guy is not an ordinary criminal. A naked body was found in a warehouse outside the city this morning, and it has been confirmed that the deceased is the genuine one assigned to you." Lawyer. This He Ye Budan robbed him halfway and took his place, and he still hasn’t survived. I heard that anyone who has seen his true face either committed suicide or was silenced. You should be careful yourself.”

Ning Xiao began to recall the man's appearance, he looked normal, not like a lunatic who would fool people into committing suicide.It's just that Ning Xiao wasn't sure if what he saw was the real face of the other party. Such vicious criminals generally possessed the ability to disguise themselves.

Lu Fei packed up his things, "You are unlucky enough. You were robbed in the middle of the night, and he committed suicide on impulse and got you involved. Go back and pray to Buddha, and see if you have bad luck recently."

Ning Xiao left the police station in silence, and when he walked out the gate, he saw another family member coming to make trouble.The old man at the gate seemed to see this all the time, pointing at the group of crying people.

"I make trouble every day, so what? Can people come back to life? Isn't it still delaying the investigation?"

The uncle's comment seemed to be very pertinent, but Ning Xiao heard something else in the crying.Not just anger, but more sadness, the pain of losing a loved one, and the bewilderment of being overwhelmed.

Gradually, the cries of those many people turned into the sad cry of a young man.

That voice echoed in the night, full of fear and despair, as if shouting over and over again: Who will save me, who will save me!

Who can help me!

However, Ning Xiao didn't understand that night, he turned and left.

In fact, Lu Fei was wrong.Ning Xiao thought, it wasn't him who was unlucky, but Ding Yiyan.When he was most desperate and hesitant, when he was about to go astray, what the boy met was not someone who could comfort him, but Ning Xiao.

If that night, Ning Xiao could look back at him after hearing the cry;

If that night, Ning Xiao hadn't punished Ding Yiyan temporarily;

If that night, Ding Yiyan met someone like Xu Shangyu who was willing to take a knife for others.

Maybe the ending will be different.

"Who is the murderer?"

Ning Xiao walked on the path, silently asking himself.

In the police station, the criminal police are making the final summary of Ding Yiyan's case.Someone reviewed the surveillance video of that night, and suddenly asked curiously: "Look here, does it look like there is a person standing in the corner?"

In the picture, Ding Yiyan is standing under the street lamp, while the surroundings are blurred.What the criminal police were referring to was a corner beyond the streetlight, a dark place facing Ding Yiyan.

"How is it possible? You can see that there is not even a shadow. You should see a ghost?"

"No, I clearly saw someone. Is it really vertigo?"

The criminal policeman was puzzled, and turned off the surveillance screen casually.

In a flash, the boy under the lone lamp disappeared into the darkness and was swallowed by the night.

[Looking forward to seeing you again, Ning Xiao. 】
