Hang yourself in a car? This is the first time I have seen this kind of death!

The 10th issue of "Night Watch 2: Dark Potential" (the new book is now on the market~)

Summary:

The Night Watch students re- After investigating the scene, it was discovered that the blood stains left in the car did not belong to anyone in the car, but no one else got into the car during the journey, which is really puzzling. On the other side, Tang Dangdang, who was responsible for repairing the driving recorder, saw a pale, broken and damaged face in the recovered image, and screamed in fright.

This scream made Xiao Lang wake up from his sleep instantly. He jumped up like a spring and hit his head on the roof of the car with a loud bang. .

"Ouch... Sooner or later, I will make our organization's car convertible." Xiao Lang rubbed his head and looked at Tang Dangdang's computer screen, which was completely black at this time. Xiao Lang patted Tang Dangdang, who had a pale face, and asked: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Dangdang grabbed Xiao Lang's arm tightly, turned his head to the side, and barely raised his head. He pointed at the computer screen.

"Miss, are you worried?" Xiao Lang dragged the progress bar back a little disapprovingly.

The vehicle was running in the heavy rain. After a while, a white shadow appeared in front of the Costa's windshield from left to right.

"Ouch." Xiao Lang shouted, "Don't you know you can't cross on the highway?"

Almost at the same time as Bai Ying appeared, the person in front of the vehicle The scene changed rapidly, which showed that the vehicle had turned the steering wheel to the right and gradually lost its center of gravity, causing it to roll over. Before the vehicle completely turned over, the screen suddenly went black. This shows that during the rollover process of the vehicle, the power socket of the driving recorder detached and the recording stopped due to power failure.

"Did you see it? Did you see it?" Xiao Lang said happily, "I analyzed it well, right? The reason for the rollover was that he saw a ghost! He was avoiding the ghost! This is a Only an experienced driver who has a good grasp of driving skills can analyze the cause of the accident so accurately!"

"Aren't you afraid?" Tang Dangdang reluctantly turned his head back and looked at Xiao Lang, his voice still a little quiet. Tremble.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Xiao Lang laughed and dragged the progress bar back again. When Bai Ying appeared again, he pressed the screenshot button continuously.

"It's vague, Miss, can you make this picture a little clearer?" Xiao Lang said.

"I...I don't dare." Tang Dangdang covered his eyes with the back of his hand and whispered.

"Then can you teach me?" Xiao Lang held his chin and stared at Tang Dangdang eagerly.

"You are so stupid." Tang Dangdang was amused by Xiao Lang's appearance. He put down his palm, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll do it."

" That’s right, what’s there to be afraid of? What are you afraid of when I’m next to you? Ghosts come to kill ghosts, and demons come to kill demons.” Xiao Lang gestured.

"Stop talking. The more you talk, the more scared I get." Tang Dangdang said so, but his nimble fingers seemed to be dancing on the keyboard.

The screenshots on the screen are getting clearer and clearer, and you can even see the face of the "ghost" clearly - it is a male ghost in white with incomplete face and grinning teeth.

When Tang Dangdang used up all his courage and turned away again, Xiao Lang laughed so hard.

"What a crappy thing, can you just imitate other people's tricks of pretending to be a ghost and be a little new and creative?" Xiao Lang said with his belly in hand, "This is a complete imitation of Salazar in "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" The captain’s appearance is designed, and it’s too fake, hahaha!”

“Are you saying that this is a trick?” Fu Yuanman asked.

"Grandpa, you don't really believe there are ghosts in this world, do you?" Xiao Lang still couldn't stop laughing.

The night watchman organization heard that Tang Dangdang had restored the data in the driving recorder, so they held an emergency meeting late at night to study the next step.

"Then tell me, how do you do this 'pretending to be a ghost'?" Fu Yuanman asked.

Xiao Lang's laughter stopped abruptly: "Oh, that's also a problem."

"The risk of pretending to be a ghost on the highway is too great." Ling Mo said, " And no ghosts were seen in the surveillance."

The driving recorder on the screen finished playing, and the picture was fixed on the frontal photo of the "ghost" processed by Tang Dangdang.

The question was very pointed, and no one could answer it for a while. Everyone sat in their seats with different postures and thought about various possibilities.

In a world without ghosts and gods, how could such a ghostly face appear?

"In this photo, it looks like a piece of the ghost's face is missing in the east and west. How was this done?" Fu Yuanman continued to ask.

"Special effects makeup is difficult to do." Tang Dangdang said, "I guess it is computer post-production special effects, which is the same as the production principle of movies."

"Huh?" Xiao Lang sat up straight and said, "Since you said this was something produced with post-production special effects, wouldn't it be the same as a movie, which is just an image and not something real?"

"Holographic projection?" Tang Dangdang and Ling Mo said in unison.

"Is it possible?" Xiao Lang said.

"Holographic projection technology is now very mature." Tang Dangdang said, "However, it requires a holographic projector to project onto a holographic board to create a realistic three-dimensional image. In a small space It’s still very difficult to do in a car space.”

“I have played a holographic game before,” Xiao Lang said, “In fact, you can make the so-called holographic board by yourself. . So, I think, if you install some kind of device on the front of the portable projector, as long as you can make good use of the interference and diffraction principles of light, and then use the vehicle windshield as the carrier, can you complete the holographic projection? "?"

"It's not impossible." Ling Mo said, "After all, the ghost image just flashes by, and it doesn't require high definition."

"Yes, yes, I remembered it." Xiao Lang patted his forehead and said, "Do you remember? When we watched the surveillance video, we saw that the front of the windshield lit up before the car rolled over. Click! This is when the projector starts working!"

"That one lights up, only you can see it," Tang Dangdang said with a smile.

"It's not just that." Xiao Lang ran to the podium in a hurry, pulled down the movable blackboard, drew a cross-section of a car on the blackboard, and then said, "Look, the car In addition to the driver, there are a total of five passengers, four of whom are sitting in the left column of the vehicle. Because these positions are blocked by the seat back and the driver, it is impossible to complete the projection of a person sitting in the right column. , because of the driver's obstruction, it is impossible to project the image to the far left of the vehicle windshield. The ghost image is from left to right, so the person projecting it is either the driver or the person in the passenger seat. !”

“The blood stains of the co-pilot.” Ling Mo pondered.

"It was precisely because there was a person sitting in the passenger seat that he was injured when the vehicle rolled over, so blood spattered on the windshield." Xiao Lang was full of confidence, "This The person in the passenger seat is probably the initiator. He hopes to use the projected image to force the car to stop or cause a minor car accident. Even if he cannot force the car to stop, he can also use other methods such as fighting for the steering wheel to achieve his goal. Because it was raining heavily at the time, and the driver's own fault, the vehicle seriously skidded and overturned, and even hit the isolation pile and rushed down the roadbed. All of this was unexpected, including the perpetrator's accidental injury. .

"

"There are accomplices waiting on this section of the road. The people in the car should wait for the opportunity to force the car to stop on this section of the road to facilitate the crime. "Ling Mo said.

"Yes, that's it! "Xiao Lang excitedly smashed the chalk in his hand and said, "This trick is great. Even if the police have surveillance and driving recorder images, it gives the police the illusion that it is being haunted, not that someone has committed a crime. After the vehicle turned the steering wheel sharply to the right and was forced to stop, the vehicle must have pulled to the side of the road and escaped from monitoring; once the vehicle was turned off, the vehicle stopped supplying power to the driving recorder and the recorder was turned off, so you can commit the crime with confidence. This 'ghost' will be carrying the blame. Oh my gosh, I am a great detective! ”

“It just so happens that this section of road has a legend of being haunted, which is indeed easy to be exploited. "Ling Mo echoed, "This incident gave me a revelation: when science cannot explain it, we must change our way of thinking in time, otherwise we will easily fall into a dead end. ”

“This is the most reasonable explanation unless there is really a ghost. "Fu Yuanman said, "However, I would like to remind everyone that the current situation is that someone in the co-pilot was indeed bleeding, but it was not the driver or any of the five passengers. Moreover, we can just see that the vehicle did not stop to pick up passengers during the entire process of driving on the highway. "

"Yes, this is another problem. "Xiao Lang sat back in his seat, holding his chin and thinking.

"Could it be that the car was waiting for someone at the hotel, or was there a person lurking in the car when he came out of the company? "Tang Dangdang said.

"The driver will definitely check the vehicle. "Xiao Lang shook his head and said, "Even if the driver is an accomplice, you still remember that before driving to Anqiao County, the employee who delivered the car got on the car to check the number of people. I understand that the Coaster has a wide body and a good field of vision. You can tell at a glance whether someone is hiding or not by standing at the door of the car. If there are other people, it is impossible for the staff to not detect them. To be more extreme, even if the drivers and employees are all accomplices, these five bosses are not fools. Wouldn't they be alert to a stranger coming up? "

"And the vehicle parked at the hotel against the wall. That is to say, everyone who got on the bus had to pass through the driving recorder in front of the car, and no other suspicious people got on the bus. The driver kept the car running at that time, so the recorder was always working. If the driver is an accomplice, he will definitely turn off the engine or turn off the recorder at this time. "Ling Mo said, "This is the normal psychology of criminals. ”

“So when I was parking the car to get my card, someone got on the bus?” "Abu, who was sitting in the corner, continued to guess.

"Impossible. "Xiao Lang said, "Based on the previous theory, even if the driver is an accomplice and opens the door, others will raise objections. The veteran driver stopped the car and took the card in one go, taking only ten seconds. Moreover, Costa's suspension (the entire support system consisting of springs and shock absorbers between the car body and the tires) is relatively soft. As long as someone gets on the car, the car body will vibrate. This was the case when the previous bosses got on the car. This can be confirmed by the shaking of the recorder. When the driver stopped to get the card, the recorder did not shake, indicating that no one got on the bus. "

"That's strange. Abu continued to interject, "It was impossible for someone to be lurking before, and then you couldn't get into the car without stopping the car. So how did this 'seventh person' get into the car?" "

"Hey, you are still having a meeting so late. "Nie Zhixuan pushed open the ajar door of the large conference room and walked in.

Nie Zhixuan obviously had dark circles under his eyes, and his face looked a little tired.

"Have you just finished the autopsy? Tell me about the progress on your side. " Fu Yuanman waved his hand for Nie Zhixuan to sit over.

"This autopsy is really rare. "Nie Zhixuan smiled bitterly, sat in his seat, and said, "The body is too damaged. ”

“Secondary injury (reinjury after injury or death)? "Ling Mo asked.

Nie Zhixuan nodded and said: "The head and neck of the deceased was hit by a boulder, which basically caused a 'full skull crack'; the limbs also formed a large number of secondary injuries due to the squeeze of the mudslide. Injuries; complex injuries to organs and bones inside the body, and many of them cannot even be determined whether they were injured during life or after death."

"Can the cause of death still be determined?" Xiao Lang said impatiently.

"We forensic doctors restored the neck skin of the deceased, and the damage was very complicated." Nie Zhixuan said, "The groove on the neck of the deceased is indeed 'kong' (the depth of the groove on the hanging man's neck) The phenomenon of unevenness and non-crossing of the figures is called lifting, which is a sign that is different from strangulation. It means that it is strangulation, not strangulation, but the damage to the muscle tissue under the skin of the neck and the thyroid cartilage ( The cartilage located on the front and side walls of the larynx is composed of left and right cartilage plates with a front edge that are connected to each other.) Judging from the extensive fracture, the tool used to hang the deceased should be a soft material with a width greater than five centimeters. Rope."

"How can there be such a wide rope?" Xiao Lang said.

"Seat belt." Ling Mo said.

"Yes." Nie Zhixuan said, "Our analysis shows that the deceased was hanged to death by the seat belt."

"During the car accident?" Xiao Lang rolled his eyes and thought in his mind Restore the scene at that time.

"No." Ling Mo said, "No matter how it rolls over, it should not lead to death by hanging. Moreover, there cannot be a safety belt at the scene where the body was found. The body was moved to the second floor after being killed. Ten meters away."

"Yes, because of this consideration, we carefully examined the deceased's limbs and found a circular subcutaneous bleeding on the deceased's ankle." , "We forensic doctors call this kind of injury a 'restraint injury'."

"Some people hanged themselves with seat belts from above, and some people from below increased the force of hanging by 'pulling their feet'." Ling Mo said.

"The teacher said that hanging cases are generally suicides and accidents, and are rarer than homicides." Xiao Lang said, "This is the rare part."

" "Yes." Nie Zhixuan said, "It is precisely because the vehicle rolled to the right in a car with a seat belt and the driver's seat was above the space that it created a special environment for him to commit the hanging crime."

"The driver wearing a seat belt is fixed in the seat after a rollover. If the seat belt is opened at this time, the seat belt can be directly wrapped around the neck to kill someone. If the driver's position changes, then give It would be difficult to lift it up; if the driver's position has not changed, then he has blocked the only access inside and outside the car - the driver's door. People inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in. Therefore, it kills the driver. There were at least two people. One person hung him outside the car door, and the other person pulled his ankle inside the car to apply pressure, making it easier to kill him. This confirmed our previous inference that the person in the passenger seat was the murderer. One." Fu Yuanman brought the topic back.

"Looking at it this way, is it really a kidnapping? A kidnapping that works inside and outside." Xiao Lang said, "But a kidnapping is a kidnapping. Why do you have to kill someone first before carrying out the kidnapping?"

"The first is to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and make several bosses give up resistance; the second is to directly remove the idlers and silence them; the third is to create a suicide scene to make people feel whether the driver has any mental problems, and finally It would be nice to combine it with the 'haunting' incident to create a more fantasy effect," Ling Mo said with his fingers.

"It's haunted? What is it?" Nie Zhixuan suddenly became energetic.

Fu Yuanman replayed Tang Dangdang’s recovered driving recorder image, and told Nie Zhixuan the conclusions reached by the previous organization members.

"Your guess is really reasonable, it's possible!" Nie Zhixuan gave a thumbs up and said, "But the 'haunted' thing is too funny, can ghosts still splatter blood? ?"

"By the way, Brother Nie, you have seen so many dead people, have you ever seen a ghost?" Tang Dangdang asked cautiously.

"If I could see ghosts, wouldn't I be a detective? Wouldn't it be better to just ask him what's going on?" Nie Zhixuan said with a smile.

Nie Zhixuan's relaxed words made Tang Dangdang get goosebumps. She shrank her shoulders and said no more.

"But no one can explain how the criminals got into the car without stopping the car." Fu Yuanman spread his hands and said.

"DNA testing cannot be used as a trump card." Nie Zhixuan rubbed his hair and said, "There are countless situations that can lead to errors in DNA results. It is also out of this consideration that I went to Sister Fu to confirm. "Sister Fu? That's your aunt!" Xiao Lang waved his fist.

Nie Zhixuan smiled faintly and continued: "Director Fu called up the original inspection map, and we even re-examined the inspection materials, and the conclusion was indeed correct. Later, I also had an idea, and Director Fu checked the Y-str of the inspection materials together."

"Speak in Chinese."

"The Y chromosome is inherited only by males in the family. The father's is the same as that of his sons and brothers."

Nie Zhixuan explained, "We really We found a clue! The blood stain on the co-pilot should belong to the biological brother of Gu Xing, one of the five entrepreneurs."

"No wonder it was compared with the DNA paternity test of Gu Xing's wife and son. It's been ruled out," Ling Mo said.

"Gu Xing, that's the person sitting on the right column of the vehicle, right?" Xiao Lang flipped through his notebook.

Ling Mo nodded and said: "The one with the least assets among the five entrepreneurs is also the youngest, only 31 years old."

"At this age, everyone should not be an only child. Female?" Xiao Lang said.

"Don't you have a brother?" Ling Mo asked.

"My parents have a dual-independence policy!" Xiao Lang waved his fist again, and then looked at Tang Dangdang with concern.

Tang Dangdang sunk into his seat with his shoulders hunched, his eyes dim.

"The problem is still not solved." Fu Yuanman spread his hands, "How did he get in the car?"

"Don't worry, after knowing this clue, Zimo and Police colleagues went to investigate together," Nie Zhixuan said, "We caught Gu's brother and everything was solved."

"Found it."

After everyone sat quietly in the conference room and waited for nearly an hour, Cheng Zimo opened the door and walked in.

It can be seen from her expression that what she brought back was not good news.

"Didn't you catch him?" Nie Zhixuan turned to ask Cheng Zimo.

"After a lot of investigation, this person does not exist." Cheng Zimo shrugged.

"How is this possible?" Nie Zhixuan was very surprised.

"Seven groups of police officers are investigating Gu's brother." Cheng Zimo said, "We can only find out that Gu once had a brother who drowned while swimming thirty years ago. , Gu was just born at that time. There are absolutely no other brothers. This conclusion is confirmed in several aspects."

"Thirty years ago!" Nie Zhixuan said, "There are no other brothers. Brother?"

Cheng Zimo shook his head and threw a piece of chewing gum into his mouth.

The air condensed instantly, and everyone was frowning and thinking.

"Is there really a ghost?" It was still a timid voice.

"He is still a ghost who can bleed." Ling Mo said.

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Zimo looked like a monk who was confused. However, no one answered her question. They were all thinking about how to use science to explain this case.

"The vehicle has not stopped, so it is impossible for new people to get on; since Gu has no brother, it is impossible to leave DNA." Nie Zhixuan said.

"I just said that if we encounter a situation that cannot be explained by science, we must quickly change the way we investigate the case." Ling Mo said.

Nie Zhixuan took out his mobile phone from his pocket, as if checking some literature on the Internet, and said: "If you want to combine these two important doubts, well, there is still a way to use science It’s possible to explain.”

In the blink of an eye, the 10th issue of “Nightwatch 2: Dark Potential” has come to an end. Thank you very much for your support and attention~
