In the conference room of the Chengzhou Police Station, Heyang Province.
"We have cordoned off the scene and carefully searched all suspicious books and writings …" Mou Yongen, the captain of the Chengzhou Police Station, stood in front of the big screen in the conference room and explained to Zhao Yu and the others, "But, we did not find the other parts of the diary …"
"That is to say …" Zhao Yu asked, "There are only a few pages of the diary about the murders?"
"There are 15 pages in total," Captain Mou said seriously. "Only five of the pages have words written on them, but some of the words are seriously damaged, so our technicians are carefully repairing them …"
"Then …" Zhao Yu said, "Tell me about the four victims! I heard that there was more than one sealed garbage passage in that building! "
"Yes," Captain Mou said. "Because it was originally designed for teaching purposes, there were three staircases in the Zizhen Building. There was a main staircase in the middle, and an auxiliary staircase at the east and west ends.
"The main staircase was open, but there was no garbage passage. Only the east and west sides had them …"
"According to the person in charge of the school, the garbage passage was sealed around 1995."
"At that time, because the Zhi Zhen Building had been converted into a dormitory, the students had a lot of waste in their daily lives. The garbage chute was slightly narrow, and it would get clogged up every two to three days. The stench was overwhelming, so the school finally decided to use bricks and cement to block the garbage chute and let the students deal with their own waste …"
"The bodies …" Miao Ying looked at the materials and asked, "Which side of the garbage passage were they found in?"
"The west side!" Captain Mou replied. "The four bodies were found in the garbage passage on the west side. Just in case, we have also opened the garbage passage on the east side, but we did not find the bodies there! "
"Interesting …" Zhao Yu put his materials on the table and said, "A student found a piece of paper with words written on it when he was moving things. After reading it, he used a hammer to break open the dusty garbage dump on the west side of the building. Then, he found the body …"
"Isn't this a bit too coincidental?"
"There were so many books in the library, but he read a piece of paper?"
"Yes …" Cui Lizhu couldn't help but interrupt. "Why … Why did the student know that what was written on the paper must be true? Also, there were obviously two garbage passages on the east and west side, so why did he choose the garbage passage with the bodies?
"This child … Have you checked her?"
"Her name is He Ningning. She is a senior student in the Department of Literature at He Yang Normal University," Captain Mou replied. "We have already asked He Ningning the question you just asked.
"Um …" Captain Mou hesitated, then said, "He said that he seemed to have received some kind of telepathy. After reading the words, he instinctively knew that the Rubbish Road written in the diary belonged to the Zhenzhen Building!
Captain Mou then said, "Of course, he also explained to us why he chose the garbage lane on the west side, because there was a small playground on the east side of the Zizhen Building. There were windows on the stairs, so it was very bright!
"The west side of the Tower of Perfection is next to another building. There are no windows in the corridor. Even during the day, it needs to be illuminated by electric lights … Because it's written in the diary that the murderer broke the light bulbs in advance to prevent people from noticing the abnormality of the garbage outlet.
"So, He Ningning was very sure that the place she wrote in the diary was the staircase on the west side.
Of course, in the diary, there was a detailed description of the sealed garbage outlet, which left a deep impression on He Ningning. So, he had the urge to smash it open! "
"Tsk tsk …" Cui Lizhu smacked her lips and muttered softly behind Zhao Yu, "I still feel that there is something wrong with this student. The building has been closed for a long time. He only went in to move some stuff. How could he know so much about it?"
"How are the identities of the four victims going?" Zhao Yu ignored Cui Lizhu and asked Captain Mou.
"It's still being processed," Captain Mou said. "Our technicians are extracting DNA. So far, we only know that the four victims are all young women …"
"How intact are the bodies?" Zhang Peipei asked, pointing to the report. "There is no specific indication here …"
"Oh, I'm sorry. The information was written too quickly," Captain Mou said quickly. "As written in the murder diary, the murderer wrapped the bodies in three layers of plastic bags and covered them with tape."
"But, because of this, the bones were preserved relatively well, and the forensic doctor was able to clearly distinguish the four bodies …"
"But …" Zhao Yu quickly found a problem. "There was only one case described in the murder diary, but there were four skeletons in the garbage? Does this mean … "
"Yes …" Captain Mou nodded and said, "In the missing diary, the murderer may have recorded three other murder cases. We are still looking for them one by one …"
"So …" Miao Ying asked, "What about the cause of death? Can we still find it? "
"There are no obvious external injuries," Captain Mou said. "At present, the forensic doctor suspects that the deceased died of suffocation, possibly strangled or strangled by the murderer!"
"Is there any description of the manner of death in the diary?" Miao Ying asked.
"The last section was damaged," Captain Mou said regretfully. "Our technicians are trying their best to repair it …"
"Have you checked the school?" Zhao Yu asked. "Have there been any similar missing cases in the school? Were there any female students who disappeared during that period? "
"Yes …" Cui Lizhu echoed. "The skeletons are all young women. Maybe they were female students of the school?"
"If that's the case, it's big news. It shouldn't be difficult to find out, right?"
At this point, everyone looked at Captain Mou. Captain Mou frowned and said to everyone, "At present, the school is still actively looking for them!
But, according to some of the old teachers in the school, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it seems that there have been no cases of students going missing! "
"After the founding of the People's Republic!" Cui Lizhu pouted. "Just say that it was in the nineties! The four girls who were killed must have been killed after the garbage chute was sealed! "
"Sorry, we are still confirming it," Captain Mou explained. "After all, it was too long ago!"
"There is one more thing that I don't quite understand …" Miao Ying said. "According to the murder diary, the murderer committed the crime during the summer vacation, and he was the only one in the dormitory, so he had the opportunity to kidnap the girls, kill them, and dispose of their bodies!
"Did the school say anything about this matter?" Miao Ying asked. "Which students lived in the Zizhen Building? They should have a clear record, right? "
"Also, if there were students in the dormitory who didn't go home during the holidays, how could the school not have any impression of them?
"If we check the records, can we easily find this person?"
"Yes …" Cui Lizhu echoed. "The diary mentioned the University Games. Can we determine which year it was?
"Also, since he was afraid that the students from the sports department would return to school early, he must not be a student from the sports department."
