In the early morning, Trait felt something furry pressing against his neck. When he turned around, he saw that the little white lion had jumped onto the bed and was rubbing against him.
"Morning, Heman." Trait pinched its ears and saw that the clock on the wall was half past seven. The bed in Declan next to it was empty. He had probably gotten up to make breakfast.
Trait got up and saw Lisbon lying next to the bed, so he asked, "Lisbon, why are you sleeping here too?"
Lisbon shook the mane on his head and lay down to sleep.
Trait got up and washed up. When he got downstairs, he saw Declan and Bai Chi making breakfast in the kitchen, Zhao Zhen was lying on the sofa catching up on his sleep, Bai Jintang was eating breakfast and reading the newspaper at the table, and the twins were watching the morning news.
"Cat." Declan saw Trait coming down and handed him breakfast and said, "After eating, go to the police station. I heard that Gongsun and the others made quite a discovery."
"Yes." Trait nodded and sat down to eat breakfast. He felt a little uncomfortable for a while as there were suddenly so many people and life became very lively.
Declan drove Trait and Bai Chi to the police station. Declan went to the garage to park the car, and Trait and Bai Chi walked in from the main entrance.
When I got to the door, I saw the guard at the door talking to a guy who looked like a student.
The student was wearing a black sweater with messy hair, holding a backpack in his hand, and said he wanted to report a crime.
The police asked him to scan his bag. Since the last bomb attack, all bags entering and leaving the police station must be checked, and all strangers must show valid identification.
"I am Liu Song's roommate, and I know how he died!" The boy seemed a little excited.
Trait and Bai Chi happened to pass by. As soon as they heard those words, the two of them looked at each other - Liu Song, the student who had shot randomly in the street before and died later. His body was never found. After claiming the body, a notice was posted, and the school just called to confirm that two teachers came to identify the body that day, and the book was indeed Liu Song.
Trait stopped, turned to look at the student, and asked, "Are you...Liu Song's classmate?"
"Yes." The boy nodded and said, "I know how he died, and I know who the murderer is!"
The guard saw Trait and said, "Dr. Zhan, I asked him to check his bag for security inspection, but he didn't agree."
"Why?" Trait was puzzled.
"If I go through the security check...you guys, please don't arrest me. This thing is not mine, it belongs to Liu Song." The boy said.
The conversation at this end attracted the attention of many people in the police station. At this time, Declan also parked his car and walked over, asking, "What's wrong?"
Trait said that the boy recognized Liu Song and said he knew the truth about his murder, but he refused to go through security because he was afraid of being caught.
"Caught?" Declan looked at his bag and said, "I am the police officer responsible for investigating Liu Song's case. If you have any evidence, please give it to me."
The boy looked around. The guard nodded to him and said, "This is the captain of SCI. If you have any questions, just ask."
The boy hesitated for a moment, then reached out and handed the bag to Declan.
Declan took it, opened it, and frowned... Trait and Bai Chi both took a look, and both of them opened their eyes wide.
"Come in with us." Declan and Trait motioned to the boy to walk in with them. The boy nodded. The security guard checked him with a metal detector and found that there were no dangerous items on him, so he let him in.
"What's your name?" Trait asked, "Which school are you from?"
"My name is Guo Cheng, and I am from Chengnan Medical College." The boy replied, "Liu Song is my classmate. He is also my roommate."
"A dormitory?" Declan asked.
"Yes." The boy shook his head and said, "We are both locals and do not live on campus. We rented a two-bedroom house near the school, just the two of us."
Trait nodded and asked, "Why couldn't we notify Liu Song's parents?"
"His parents are both dead." Guo Chengdao, "He died in a car accident two years ago."
Declan and Trait looked at each other and nodded.
The elevator door opened, and when we arrived at SCI's office, we saw everyone there.
Declan signaled everyone to wait before the meeting. Together with Trait, he took Guo Cheng to the interrogation room next to him and asked Guo Cheng to sit down.
Everyone at SCI gathered around the window to watch curiously and asked Bai Chi, who is this guy?
At the same time, Declan opened the bag and took out four glass jars. These four jars are the kind used in laboratories to store specimens and are filled with formalin. In the first one, there are six eyes, which are round and have thin tendons behind them. In the second one, there was a large clump of seaweed-like hair. In the third one, there are six ears. In the fourth one, there are a lot of fingers.
"Where did this thing come from?" Declan asked.
"I found it in the small cabinet in Liu Song's room." Guo Cheng answered honestly.
Trait took out a pen and paper and said to him, "Write down your address and we will send someone to investigate."
"Okay." Guo Cheng wrote down the address honestly and handed over a key. Trait asked people from the forensics department to go first.
"Do you know the origin of these things?" Trait asked.
Guo Cheng nodded and said, "Well, I have read his novels."
"Novel?" Declan was puzzled.
"Tell me more about it," Trait said.
"Yeah." Guo Cheng nodded and said, "Liu Song is obsessed with detective novels. He started submitting articles to some detective magazines several years ago. Because he has relatively professional medical knowledge, he can write more decent things. Come on, he has his own characteristics. Within a few years, he became somewhat famous, and published many books, and a publishing house finalized the manuscript with him... That's why he got a small apartment of his own. I started writing novels seriously and planned to quit being a doctor and become a writer. I got along well with him, so I was his first reader when he wrote a novel. "
Trait and Declan nodded and asked, "Does he have a pen name?"
"Oh, it's called the smile of death." Guo Cheng replied.
Trait and Declan looked at each other - and got involved with that weird mask again.
"Liu Song is very interested in poisons, and most of his detective novels focus on medicine." Guo Cheng continued, "A few days ago, he published a new manuscript."
With that said, Guo Cheng took out a stack of manuscript paper from the inside of his bag and handed it to Trait and the others.
Trait took it and flipped through it quickly, saying, "It describes how the murderer killed twelve innocent people and left a smiling corpse... exactly the same as our case."
Declan frowned and said, "Did you imitate the contents of the novel to commit the crime?"
Guo Chengdao said, "This novel has not yet been completed... When I heard it, I just thought that his idea was quite interesting and should be well received after writing it. However, when Liu Song reached the later stage of writing, his mood became a little... Out of control."
"Losing control?" Trait was curious and asked, "Why did you write about losing control?"
"The reasoning plots are quite good, and conception has always been his strong point anyway." Guo Chengdao, "It's just that the details of the murder are difficult to write. No matter how you describe it, in his words, it feels fake."
Declan nodded and asked, "What next?"
"He was very depressed at that time and watched horror movies all day long. He said it would be nice if he could really kill a few people and feel it."
Trait and Declan both frowned.
Outside, Gongsun, who wandered over to see the situation, yawned and said, "Idiot."
"Huh?" Bai Chi asked Gongsun in confusion, "Gongsun, why are you so stupid?"
"I'm talking about the one who wrote the book." Gongsun said with a smile, "He is a medical student, and his descriptions of some murderous plots are definitely more realistic than ordinary people's. As for the super realism he pursues, it is actually quite good. No need to. Because except for people who have actually killed people, other readers will not be able to tell it is fake. "
"Well, that's true." Everyone thought it was reasonable.
"Besides, the details of killing a person are definitely similar to the details of killing a pig. They will resist, scream, bleed, and die. What's there to describe?" Gongsun said disdainfully, "The temptation of the novel is The beauty of it lies in its imagination. Even novels with realistic themes will inevitably have unreal parts. Things that are too real are not attractive. Killing people and killing pigs definitely feel the same. "
Everyone laughed... Gongsun's metaphor was really powerful.
"Later, about a month or two later, Liu Song suddenly became emotionally high again." Guo Chengdao, "He said that he experienced the feeling of killing, it was very real, and then his mood became better." "
"Didn't he tell you how he experienced that feeling?" Trait asked, "Also, has there been any change in him?"
"I can't tell." Guo Chengdao, "Although Liu Song is quite a homebody, he is a cheerful person by nature, so I didn't care. It's just that he often leaves early and comes home late. Then I heard the news that he was dead, and I also heard that After talking about the corpses in Nancheng, I felt a little strange... So I wondered if something really happened. I went to his room to sort out his clothes, and then I found them in his cabinet. got these things.
Trait and Declan nodded and asked, "You said you know who the murderer is?"
"Yes." Guo Cheng nodded and whispered, "I know, Liu Song said that he has a consultant who will provide him with writing materials."
"Consultant?" Trait and Declan were surprised, "What kind of person is he?"
"I don't know, I only saw them chatting online a lot." Guo Cheng handed over Liu Song's frequently used QQ numbers to Trait and Declan.
After asking some questions about Liu Song, Trait and Declan asked the police to take him to the lounge to wait. They decided to go to Liu Song's home before the meeting to check his personal belongings and watch the meeting. There will be no clues in this case.
Liu Qing and Ellis handed the written examination to Declan. Declan was stunned for a moment, as if he had forgotten about it. He didn't care what he wrote, so he gathered everyone together, hurriedly found Gongsun, and listened briefly to Gongsun's autopsy results.
"Well, so Liu Song is very likely to be involved in this murder?" Maverick asked.
"But whose fingers are those in his belly?" Bai Chi asked.
"Hmm...a hodgepodge?" Declan looked at Trait, "Trait, what would a normal student think of doing such a thing?"
"It's hard to say." Trait said, "But this way of killing does feel like practicing skills and experiencing life."
"To experience life?" Declan frowned, "For writing? Or to practice a certain skill?"
"Anyway, let's go to Liu Song's house first." Trait frowned and said, "I think this case is very complicated."
"Yes." Declan nodded and said to Jiang Ping, "Jiang Ping, check the identity of that so-called consultant."
"Okay." Jiang Ping nodded and began to check Liu Song's chat history, while Declan and Trait rushed to Liu Song's home with their people.
