Dark Cave - part 2 - Chapter 6
6
Huang Shiyi and Chu Wenguang passed away, Guanjian became a silent boy. He always tried to avoid the crowd. When he had some free time, he would take the bus to the International Cemetery and quietly accompany Huang Shiyi. For some reason, he felt that Huang Shiyi had not left yet, and her clear eyes were still looking at him. Coming to the cemetery to accompany her, the sadness and guilt were less: if he had entered the anatomy building with Shishi, maybe he would not have been killed.
The key is that my heart aches.
After Chu Wenguang was killed, Officer Chen questioned the key again and revealed a suspicious point: Huang Shiyi had called Chu Wenguang on the day she was killed. The police were obviously assuming that Huang Shiyi and Chu Wenguang had a relationship and were killed out of jealousy.
He thought hard about whether he had any doubts or jealousy about Huang Shiyi and Chu Wenguang’s relationship. Perhaps, it was in his subconscious mind. Doubts, jealousy, anger, plots, murders, all in the trash can of the subconscious mind.
Perhaps , I have a dual personality with completely opposite opposites. The kind-hearted me stood in front of Shishi’s grave to mourn and mourn; the evil me planned and planned perfectly, was cruel, bloodthirsty and perverted, and killed Shishi and Chu Wenguang.
Ridiculous, this idea is extremely absurd!
No matter what, Huang Shiyi was already far away in heaven, and he would never see her again. Chu Wenguang could no longer laugh and play with him. Just this thought made him burst into tears again.
A sigh suddenly came from behind.
Guan Jian turned around and saw a tall, thin, middle-aged man standing with his body slightly bent, as if paying tribute to Huang Shiyi’s tombstone.
” For ordinary people like us, losing a loved one is the greatest misfortune in life. I can imagine how you feel right now. ” The man spoke in a literary manner, not like a ” normal person ” , which made Guanjian feel a little awkward. The man slowly raised his head, and the first thing that caught Guanjian’s eyes was a pair of black-rimmed thick-rimmed glasses, and under the glasses were a pair of eyes that contained vicissitudes and sincerity. When he stood up straight, he was half a head taller than Guanjian, who was already tall. His demeanor was full of respect and humility, but for some reason, Guanjian could sense a stubbornness under his well-tailored black suit.
” Are you looking for me ? ” Guan Jian wondered.
” It’s an invitation . ” The man stepped forward, stretched out his arm and shook hands with Guan Jian, ” My name is Yamashita Yuji, and I have a cooperative project at the Institute of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine recently , and I would like to ask you to do us a big favor. ” ” It’s like this, I came here this time, commissioned by our Sino-Japanese cooperative project, and I specially found you …”
I’m just afraid I’m not in the mood.
” I believe that our cooperation this time may help us find the murderer of Miss Huang Shiyi and Mr. Chu Wenguang. ” Yamashita Yuji seemed to have read Guanjian’s mind and suddenly changed the subject, which made Guanjian’s heart move.
” How do you know about Shishi? ”
” Ms. Huang Shiyi and Mr. Chu Wenguang were murdered one after another. This is a major case in Jiangjing … We know that you are still a suspect of the police. ”
” Please come straight to the point. How can you help me find out the truth about Shishi’s murder? ”
Yamashita Yuji reached into his bosom and took out an envelope: ” Then we need to change the subject first. In the fall of 2001 , the Arts and Crafts Associations of Japan and Jiangjing jointly held a ceramic art exhibition of a master potter at the Jiangjing Art Museum. The master even visited the exhibition in person. However, during the exhibition, a robbery of artworks occurred, resulting in the loss of ceramics worth millions of dollars. The potter and two guards specially hired for the exhibition were also killed.
” The case has never been solved, but judging from the few clues and signs, it should be a robbery with internal and external assistance. In other words, the two guards from Yizhongyi are likely to be insiders. After a long background investigation, the Chinese and Japanese police have basically reached a consensus that the Chinese security guard is most likely to have committed embezzlement: his accomplices took the handicrafts , but because they did not want to share the loot with another person, they killed him on the spot. ” Yamashita Yuji seemed to stop intentionally.
” I still don’t see how this is related to Shishi’s case … except … the Jiangjing Art Museum and the Institute of Chinese and Western Medicine are separated by a wall. ” Guan Jian sounded a little impatient.
” I believe you don’t know yet, Miss Huang Shiyi, is the daughter of the Chinese guard. ”
Guan Jian was shocked. Why had Shishi never mentioned it?
Five years ago, Shishi’s father died in an art exhibition hall; five years later, Shishi, who worked as a laboratory technician in a research institute next to the art exhibition hall, died in the abandoned anatomy building of Jiang Medical University. What subtle connection is there between them?
” So you think there’s a connection between Shishi ‘s death and the ceramic artwork robbery and murder case five years ago, so you hope to solve both cases at once through investigation. ”
” You are really smart. I think our cooperation …”
” But I haven’t agreed yet! The police haven’t made any progress so far, how can I help? ”
Yamashita Yuji stared at the key point with his eyes: ” Yes, it’s a long story, which is why I waited patiently and finally found this place is the best place for us to talk. ”
” Have you been following me all day?! ”
” It’s not just today, it’s been a few days. I’ve noticed your pattern these days. You’re either working in the hospital or just sitting here in a daze … I don’t mean to laugh at you. Believe me, I’ve lost loved ones too …
” My purpose of coming here is not entirely to follow you … The potter who was killed five years ago was my father, Yamashita Masahiro. ” He pointed to the north, ” He is buried here in the ‘ Fujitsuen ‘ . ”
Huang Shiyi and Chu Wenguang.
The key suspects are so strong that they can almost be convicted: he was at the scene, the only person who left any traces, an acquaintance of the victim, and had a basic knowledge of anatomy – the murderer used dissection techniques to kill and dissect the bodies, which was a record in the criminal history of Jiangjing.
Perhaps for this reason, the Municipal Bureau specially sent Bayusheng from the Serious Crime Unit to ” assist ” in handling the case. Officer Chen knew that ” assist ” was just a nice word, and ” taking over ” might be the real intention.
Bayusheng wore a pair of large-framed glasses and had a slightly pale face, looking more like a secretary. He was said to be one of the few graduate students in the city bureau, and seemed to be quite famous, but Officer Chen couldn’t remember any important cases he had solved. Bayusheng became a police officer because his beloved girlfriend suddenly disappeared. It seemed like it happened many years ago.
” Old Chen , don’t worry. Our leaders have repeatedly told you that coming to the branch will definitely give you more manpower to listen to the orders of an old comrade like you. ”
Officer Chen felt a little better: at least he wasn’t arrogant or anything like that.
” You are too polite. You are an expert. How about I report the case to you first? ”
” I’m just a nerd … I’ve read your report, it’s very organized, is there any new progress? ”
” We also checked Huang Shiyi’s phone records over the past few months, and basically all the calls were to Guanjian. This basically rules out the hypothesis that Huang and Chu were developing a romantic relationship without telling Guanjian, and also basically rules out the motive of Guanjian’s murder for love. ”
Bayu Sheng held his chin in his hand, nodded and said, ” Old Chen , do you think there is no murderer in this case? ”
” I’m a rough person and I don’t understand. From the scene, it doesn’t look like it’s haunted. ”
Bayusheng smiled apologetically: ” Old Chen , I was just talking nonsense. Go on. ”
” A few days ago, a group of Japanese scientists came to the Institute of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine . They got in touch with Guanjian. I guess they heard about it and came to conduct so-called experiments on Guanjian. Tell me, why did they target Guanjian? ”
Bayusheng said : ” This is a kind of misfortune. His special ability is of interest to many people. Even our bureau, after hearing about his talent, has conducted experiments on him. ”
Officer Chen seemed to understand something. ” You are … So, there really is a special department in the bureau as mentioned before? ”
” So far, our work has been kept relatively confidential. The cases we handle are mostly unsolved cases or major cross-regional cases. Of course, we have successfully solved some cases, but we try not to make them public. “
