Chapter 18 Weird Killing 1. Investigation
Wu Yu then called the police. Half an hour later, the police finally arrived. The one leading the way was the thin female police officer from the Guzhen Police Station. She saw the horrific death in front of her and quickly covered her mouth. Then, two young male police officers and a middle-aged man in forensic uniform came in. When they saw the body, they were also horrified.
The policewoman recognized Wu Yu and asked, "What is going on?"
Wu Yu calmed down and said, "I don't know the details." Then he recounted all the scenes he saw in the ancient house when he returned from Zhejiang.
The policewoman looked at him doubtfully. Wu Yu felt her gaze was like a torch, as sharp as a knife. He thought this might be an occupational disease for policemen, seeing everyone as a suspect.
At this time, the man in forensic clothes walked over to Su Wei, took out white gloves from his wide pocket, and squatted down. He examined the body from head to toe, but seemed to find nothing. He looked at the policewoman and shook his head. Then he said, "It's been more than ten hours since death. The specific cause of death can only be determined after the body is brought back to the station for autopsy."
The policewoman nodded.
Wu Yu was horrified: "How could he have been dead for so long? Didn't I receive a text message from him on the way to Zhejiang?" He would never believe what he saw.
At this time, the police searched the room, apparently looking for the murder weapon, but found nothing.
"Even the deceased's cell phone has not been found?" the policewoman said with obvious disappointment.
They smiled bitterly helplessly.
The policewoman pondered for a while, looked at Xin Luo and said, "I don't think she will wake up for a while, how about this, you follow me to the police station to record a statement."
Wu Yu nodded and helped Xin Luo out of the room. He felt that Xin Luo's whole body was cold. He wondered what Xin Luo saw that frightened her like this? Wu Yu was stunned when he recalled the phone call she made to him today. He wondered if Xin Luo had met a ghost during the day, or... He thought of the ghost marriage. Was Su Wei really killed by the ghost bride? When Wu Yu thought of this, he suddenly remembered Su Wei's death two years ago. He suddenly realized that the circumstances of their deaths were surprisingly similar. Could they have been killed in the ghost marriage, or by the mysterious woman who sent the letter? But who is that woman?
After arriving at the police station, Wu Yu recorded his statement. Since Xin Luo was unconscious, it was inconvenient to disturb him. After recording his statement, the two policemen came out with the man who looked like a forensic doctor. The female police officer said to him, "Forensic doctor Li, did you find anything?"
The man named Forensic Doctor Li shook his head and said, "The death of the deceased was very strange. There was no scar on his body. But from the surface, the deceased must have been frightened before he died. After killing him, the murderer also cruelly scratched his face. From this point of view, the murderer seemed to have a great hatred for the deceased. And..." He suddenly went over and whispered in the policewoman's ear.
Wu Yu saw the policewoman's face gradually turn pale. He guessed that it was something even more terrible.
Xinluo suddenly muttered to herself: "There is a ghost, it's the ghost bride..."
After hearing this, they looked at Xinluo in surprise.
Wu Yu said to the medical examiner, "Please help me take a look. She may have been frightened."
The forensic doctor nodded without saying anything. In fact, he had noticed Xin Luo as soon as he came in. He walked forward and carefully observed Xin Luo for a while, then felt Xin Luo's pulse for a while, and his expression suddenly changed.
Seeing him like this, they were all very nervous. Wu Yu asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
The doctor was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "It seems that she was too frightened."
"Will she ever come to her senses?"
"Well... I think she will get better slowly after two days of rest. You can rest assured."
Wu Yu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
The policewoman pointed at Xin Luo and said to everyone, "From what she said, could it be... could it be that the deceased really saw a ghost, and it is related to the legendary ghost marriage..."
"Ghost marriage?" The forensic doctor and two other policemen looked at her in surprise.
"Haven't you heard that any man who has experienced a ghost marriage will be killed by a ghost lady, and the circumstances of death are similar to this deceased." The policewoman smiled mysteriously, and suddenly turned around and asked Wu Yu, "Do you know if the deceased had experienced a ghost marriage before his death?"
After hearing what the policewoman said, Wu Yu was shocked and said timidly: "He has experienced it. It happened some time ago..." Wu Yu told Su Wei about the ghost marriage in detail.
After hearing this, they couldn't recover for a long time, and a creepy feeling filled everyone's heart.
Suddenly, a piercing scream sounded, which scared them. Everyone looked around, but they didn't know where the sound came from. After listening carefully, they realized that it came from Xinluo's handbag.
When the policewoman was about to reach out, Xinluo had already taken out her cell phone from her handbag, checked the number, answered it, and said slowly, "What's the matter?"
They found it a little incredible that she suddenly woke up.
Xinluo talked to the person on the other end of the phone for a while, then hung up. She saw Wu Yu and the others looking at her with surprised eyes, and then she saw that they were police officers and doctors, and then she suddenly realized what was going on, and suddenly seemed to remember everything, and said in horror: "Su Wei..."
"What's going on?" The policewoman asked, staring at Xin Luo with increased vigilance.
"This...it's scary to talk about it. I met a ghost. Do you believe it?" Xinluo shuddered.
Seeing their panic-stricken faces, Xin Luo continued, "Today I received a call from Su Wei, who said he had something to tell me, but I don't know what it was. I returned to the old house from school, opened my door and walked in, and suddenly saw a woman in a Republic of China-era bridal outfit slashing Su Wei's face with a knife. I was so scared that I screamed. When the woman heard the sound, she turned around and smiled at me. I saw a pale face and a pair of eyes like a fierce ghost, and then she fainted and knew nothing."
Wu Yu and the others were stunned by the surprise. But the policewoman, the doctor, and other police officers were skeptical. Wu Yu was thinking: If Su Wei was really killed by the ghost bride as Xinluo said, would he follow in Su Wei's footsteps and die soon? But if Xinluo was lying - Wu Yu and the policewoman thought of this, because only Xinluo was at the first scene of Su Wei's death, so she had to be suspected of Su Wei's death. But if it was really Xinluo who killed Su Wei, what exactly prompted Xinluo to do this? How could a weak woman like Xinluo dare to kill someone? Everything was a question.
The policewoman asked Xinluo about everything in detail, then turned around and whispered to the two policemen and the doctor for a while, then said to Wu Yu and Xinluo: "You can go back now. We will investigate the death of Su Wei. However, since you are all friends of the deceased, we hope you can cooperate with us and come as soon as we are called. As for Su Wei's body, we will bury it properly."
Wu Yu and Xin Luo nodded, and Wu Yu felt that Xin Luo felt a little uneasy.
They were about to go out when a tall man suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Officer Zhong." He stared in surprise. Suddenly he remembered his previous conversation with Officer Zhong and came to his senses.
The two policemen and forensic doctor Li seemed to know Officer Zhong and greeted him politely. The female police officer smiled at him. Although she was very thin, her smile was not too ugly.
"Why would Officer Zhong come to a small place like Wuzhen? Could he be coming back to visit his old place?" The forensic doctor smiled politely. Of course, he didn't know the purpose of his visit.
Officer Zhong pointed at Wu Yu and said, "He wanted to know about a murder case two years ago, so he came here."
"You came at a really bad time." The policewoman's face twitched.
Officer Zhong looked at them in confusion.
The policewoman pulled him aside and whispered.
Wu Yu was confused when he saw that Officer Zhong was staring at him almost all the time. After a while, Officer Zhong's expression gradually changed.
Wu Yu originally planned to talk to Officer Zhong about all the strange things, but his heart was so broken that he could only go back.
