Chapter 83 Memory
When Luo Xun and Chi Xia went downstairs, Juanmao just came over with two young men.
"Boss, they were the ones who found the body and reported it to the police."
Curly brought the people over: "These two are graduate students from the Agricultural and Forestry University. They came here to conduct research. There were originally four of them. One of the students slipped and got injured. Another student accompanied him to the hospital. After they called the police, these two students are waiting here for the police to come."
"Injured? Seriously?"
Luo Xun asked, pointing to a very obvious scratch on the mountain, which was the one he and Chi Xia had just discovered: "Did it fall from here?"
Although Curly tried to comfort him for a long time, any ordinary person would not be able to remain calm after seeing a corpse turned into a skeleton.
The two young men were still in shock. When Luo Xun asked, they looked over first, and then they shuddered when they thought of the fact that their companion was sitting on the skull of a corpse when he fell.
I don't know if his tailbone is okay...
The two men came to their senses and nodded rapidly: "Right here! Right here! This is where he fell!"
"Did you find the bodies of your companions after they fell down?" Luo Xun continued to ask.
"Yes, he slipped and fell and we came down to rescue him, and then we saw those...those bones," said one of the students.
Another student also spoke up: "Anyway, we are just unlucky. We will be discovered sooner or later..."
"What do you mean?" Luo Xun tilted his head.
"We are here to do research, we can't just focus on that one place. We will have to come down sooner or later, so no matter what the situation is, we will find the body today." The student explained.
They said with annoyance on their faces: "We shouldn't have come today. We should have waited for Teacher Chu."
Chi Xia heard this and asked, "So, you were supposed to come with companions?"
“No.”
The student said: "Teacher Chu is our instructor. She is also very interested in this research. We had originally agreed to come together, but when we were about to leave, Teacher Chu had urgent work. She originally decided that we should come together at another time. We thought that we had been preparing for so long, and since we were already out , we might as well come here by ourselves. Alas, we didn't expect to encounter this..."
The slight suspicion that had just arisen in Chi Xia's mind dissipated again.
"You didn't move the bodies at the scene, right?" Luo Xun asked.
"Of course not!"
The young man shook his head and waved his hands, gesturing as he spoke: "It was...our friend, he happened to be sitting on that skull when he fell down. It was broad daylight. We were so scared at the time. Who dared to move? After calling the police, another friend took the injured classmate to the hospital. The two of us stayed here and waited for the police. We didn't move a thing. We swear!"
Luo Xun nodded: "Curly, go to the hospital with them later to check on the injured students and see if you can get any new clues."
Curly immediately got the task and took the two frightened students to the hospital.
Ning Yi and Lin Wenjue also completed the preliminary assessment of the remains. Ning Yi organized people to take the remains back for an in-depth inspection.
Lin Wenjue led the police officers to search the area several times, but still could not find any clues to prove the identity of the deceased, nor did they find anything related to the bones.
"We can't find any relevant clues." Lin Wenjue said with a heavy face: "Let's go back first and look for any relevant clues among the missing persons in the past year."
"If a person has been missing for six months, he must be reported missing. This is a good idea." Chi Xia agreed with his idea.
Luo Xun's eyes swept across the area they had searched, and finally stopped at the place where he and Chi Xia had just stood. He said, "Lao Lin, when we go back later, let Lao Cao drive Chi Xia's car, and you go up and watch him, so that he won't go crazy."
"Oh my god, really? Boss, are you serious? Can I?"
Cao Bin was arranging for the police officers to retreat a few steps away from them. Upon hearing this, he immediately rushed over: "Chi Xia, do I have this chance?"
Chi Xia laughed and raised the lollipop in her hand: "For the sake of the candy, you must have it."
After she finished speaking, she asked, "Brother Cao, are you a good driver?"
Cao Bin raised his chin and patted his chest: "Brother is a very good driver, you can rest assured, I, Cao Bin, the driving god of Dongzhou!"
Lin Wenjue sneered: "Yes, his driving skills are quite good, but he tends to drift easily if he is not careful."
Cao Bin put his arm around his shoulders and said, "That's why the boss asked you to come with me. With Officer Lin here, I dare not act arrogantly."
Lin Wenjue, however, gave Luo Xun a meaningful look, then took Cao Bin in his arms and was about to leave.
"Car keys."
Chi Xia called them and handed the key to Cao Bin: "My phone is in the car, please get it out for me later."
…
Chi Xia took the phone from the car and was about to get into Luo Xun's car. He rolled down the window and said, "Wait under the tree next to us."
Chi Xia retreated under the shade of a tree and saw that Cao Bin had already left happily.
Chi Xia came back to her senses with a smile and realized why Luo Xun didn't let her get in the car immediately.
Just now, when the sun was shining brightly, the car was very hot. He wanted to ventilate the car and let the heat out.
After the heat dissipated for a while and the car cooled down, Luo Xun shook his head and said, "Come up."
Chi Xia sat on it.
As the car started moving, Luo Xun spoke first: "I thought carefully about the cooperation last night."
Chi Xia peeled the lollipop: "Captain Luo, you don't want to regret it, do you? "
"No." Luo Xun said, "I want to tell you a detail about the 1.25 serial murder case."
Chi Xia became interested: "What?"
"There are a total of six victims in this case. You already know this, but the information you obtained did not mention that the bodies of the six victims all had wounds similar to lacerations and puncture wounds, right?"
Chi Xia frowned slightly and looked at him sideways: "Lavage and puncture wounds? A lot?"
"Yeah, a lot. All over my body."
Luo Xun said in a low voice: "In order to avoid causing panic, this was not announced to the public at the time, and not many people knew about it."
Chi Xia didn't say anything for a while. Luo Xun glanced at her and asked, "Did you think of something?"
"Piercing fetish."
Chi Xia adjusted his position and turned sideways to face Luo Xun: "Captain Luo, have you ever heard of piercing fetish?"
Luo Xun tightened his grip on the steering wheel: "Psychological stuff?"
"Not necessarily." Chi Xia said: "The word piercing fetish originated from the Latin and Spanish words picar, which refers to the long-term torture of victims with small cuts, punctures or stabs, and the sexual satisfaction obtained from it."
Chi Xia finished speaking slowly. She saw Luo Xun's face suddenly turn angry, and veins bulged on the back of his hand on the steering wheel.
"Sexual satisfaction?"
"Captain Luo." She paused before nodding and said, "The murderer you are looking for may be a sexual piercing maniac with sexual psychological disorders."
Sexual piercing maniacs, sexual psychological disorders, long-term abuse, and thus obtain sexual satisfaction...
When these words are combined, they fit the description of those six innocent girls back then so perfectly.
His throat ached, and he tried his best to control himself, but his words trembled slightly: "At that time... none of the six victims showed any signs of sexual assault, so the investigation team's suspicion shifted from that aspect..."
Ten years ago, the entire police system still relied mainly on the empiricism of the older generation of criminal investigators, and knowledge of psychology was not so widely used in their investigation process.
What are piercing fetishes? They had never heard of them at that time.
"We will find it."
Chi Xia felt the huge sadness and anger in him. She turned her head to look at the shadows of the trees passing by the window: "Captain Luo, I will help you find out the justice for your sister."
Luo Xun's voice was hoarse, and he said after a long while: "What about you?"
"Me what?" Chi Xia looked back.
"Chi Xia, I have told you all my secrets."
He stepped on the brakes and the car stopped on the side of the road: "But you didn't, you still have a lot of things to hide."
Chi Xia looked at him, smiled suddenly, and rolled up his sleeves: "Are you referring to this?"
"more than."
Luo Xun shook his head: "For example, the relationship between you and Li Yiming, why you can always empathize with the murderer so easily, and the sudden needle hole on your arm, and why you are so weak today."
"You know, it's human nature to seek the truth, especially for police officers like us."
He asked very frankly, and Chi Xia looked into those eyes.
From the first time she saw them, she felt that they were a pair of passionate eyes, but they were covered by his hair for 70% to 80%. Now, his face was clear and his eyes were pure. Although he was clearly asking her, Chi Xia saw a hint of familiarity in those eyes at an inappropriate time.
He is a sincere person who is hard to refuse.
"Because I don't know either."
She put down her sleeves and said, "Captain Luo, the information in your hand should explain that when my adoptive parents adopted me, I was twelve years old."
"Yes." Luo Xun said.
She tapped her temple with her index finger: "As for my memories before the age of twelve, I have no memory here. As for the needle marks on my arm..."
She was silent for a long time, her back against the back of the chair. "I suspect that the reason why I have a blank memory may be due to multiple factors."
"Multi-faceted effects...what do you mean?" Luo Xun's Adam's apple rolled slightly.
Chi Xia chuckled, but there was a coldness in the corners of his eyes: "Maybe it's drugs, maybe it's hypnosis, or maybe there are some things I don't understand yet. Anyway, every once in a while, this part of mine..."
She propped her elbows on the car window, tapped her temples with her index finger, and said nonchalantly, "This place will explode, and something will come out."
Luo Xun was slightly stunned, and he looked away: "So, those pinholes are what you did to suppress..."
"It's not suppression." Chi Xia said, "It's amplification."
Luo Xun's heart suddenly tightened, as if he was hit by something.
"Late summer."
There was clear worry in his eyes: "Have you ever thought about it? This is a very risky move."
Chi Xia just smiled without saying anything, and there was even a hint of arrogance on his face.
Luo Xun took a deep breath: "Back then in the psychological clinic, the psychological test that Qin Mei gave us...you...how do you know that it was a modified antisocial personality test form?"
"because……"
Chi Xia looked at him, the corners of her eyes slightly raised, and she spoke slowly: "I always remember that I have done it many times, it is engraved in my bones, I can recognize it as soon as I see it."
She adjusted the back of her chair and closed her eyes. “You’ve already figured it out. I can easily empathize with the murderer.”
"You've already realized that."
She said, “You realize that I might be a sociopath, don’t you?”
