Paranormal incident investigation notes

"There seem to be a lot of suicides recently..."

A subordinate security officer looked thoughtfully at the blood stains left on the ground.

Feng Guozhu's heart trembled.

He felt this way too.

In the past two years, the number of suicides seems to have increased.

Blue Lake City is a medium-sized city with a permanent urban population of approximately 1.9 million. According to the latest statistics last year, the global average number of suicides per 100,000 people is 12.6. Under normal circumstances, the number of suicides in Blue Lake City every year should be about 240. On average, there are about 20 people per month.

As a security officer, Feng Guozhu can certainly get first-hand statistical data. He concluded that Blue Lake City is no different from other cities on the planet. The number of suicides per month is between 10 and 30, more or less. Added up for the whole year, that's about the same as the average figure.

This proves that the data of Blue Lake City is normal.

But that was over a year ago.

I don’t know since when, the number of suicides here in Blue Lake City has slowly begun to increase. This month, it’s only the 19th, it’s just the end of the middle of the month, and the number of suicides including today’s is over 30.

Judging from this, it is almost certain that the number of suicides this month has exceeded 40.

"You said that this person is a good person. He has a good family background, is beautiful, has a good job, and lives a good life. Why can't he think about it? It's really... he must be possessed by evil spirits..."

Feng Guozhu's heart trembled again, but he reprimanded without hesitation: "Don't talk nonsense! Have you compiled the list of personnel? Hurry up and investigate!"

After ruling out the possibility of homicide, it does not mean that this incident is over.

Feng Guozhu also needs to lead the follow-up investigation to find out the reason why the deceased committed suicide.

Generally speaking, this isn't too difficult. After all, people can't commit suicide for no reason, there has to be some reason, right?

Either the family has suffered a change, or he is terminally ill, or he has been betrayed, or he owes money, his career has failed, and so on. But no matter what the specific reason is, this reason must have had a huge impact on the life of the deceased.

The magnitude of the impact means it's usually not difficult to pinpoint the cause.

"We are doing statistics. We will finish it early tomorrow morning. I promise to start the investigation early tomorrow morning!"

"Cure the team and retreat!"

…

"Hello, are you Zhang Lu's family? This is the Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau. I regret to inform you that your daughter, Zhang Lu, was found to have jumped to her death at 1:20 a.m. last night..."

Beep beep beep beep...

A busy signal came from the phone. Before hanging up, Feng Guozhu vaguely heard a complaint about "scam call".

"Why……"

Feng Guozhu sighed.

He called the Public Security Bureau of the city where Zhang Lu's parents lived and prepared to ask the local Public Security Bureau to send someone to notify them.

Notifying the parents of the deceased of the death requires a lot of psychological pressure. Feng Guozhu was eager to prevent himself from doing it now.

Next to him, one of his officers was making another call.

"Mo Qing, right? Hello, this is the Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau... Don't hang up, it's not a scam call! Look at my phone number! Also, my security officer number is LH6523A, go check it out!"

On the phone, the voice on the other end finally calmed down, but was still full of doubts: "Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau? What do you want from me?"

"That's it. You are Ms. Zhang Lu's friend, right? Ms. Zhang Lu was found to have jumped to her death at 1:20 this morning. Before the deceased committed suicide, the last phone call was made to you, right? We hope Understand the circumstances of the deceased at that time so as to determine the cause of her suicide. Excuse me, do you know anything about Zhang Lu?"

…

"Suicide...suicide? How is this possible? Is it a mistake? Xiaolu committed suicide? Are you kidding! Are there any of you who curse people to death like you? They are from the Public Security Bureau. I want to file a complaint against you! I will file a complaint against you!"

Mo Qing's voice was full of disbelief. She even screamed, hysterically.

"Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau, right? I'm going to Blue Lake City right now! Just wait for me!"

The phone hangs up.

Another security officer dialed Cheng Yu's phone.

"...We found out that before the deceased committed suicide, she had dinner with you at the Lakeside Restaurant, and then you sent her back to the rented single apartment complex. May I ask, did the deceased show any abnormality while you were eating?"

Like the previous times, this time, the security officer still encountered an angry rebuke on the phone. Fortunately, Cheng Yu himself is in Blue Lake City, so it is convenient to come to the Public Security Bureau.

…

Half an hour later, Cheng Yu, who was tall and handsome, but full of eagerness and anger, came to the Public Security Bureau and met Feng Guozhu and others.

Before that, there was still a trace of luck on his face. But after seeing Feng Guozhu and others wearing security uniforms, the trace of luck on their faces disappeared without a trace.

This is the Sheriff's Department. A real Sheriff's Department. These people are indeed security officers. Then, the news they informed themselves can only be true...

Cheng Yu's body softened and he collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face. He looked at Feng Guozhu in despair, his lips moved, but he couldn't say a word.

Several security guards hurriedly stepped forward to help Cheng Yu and helped him to a chair. After repeated comforts, Cheng Yu, who was in despair, finally regained his consciousness.

"I want to see Xiaolu, I want to see her..."

Feng Guozhu had already made a judgment about Cheng Yu.

Young people's love...

Although he was sympathetic, he was still confused: "According to the regulations, only her immediate family members can see her now. Her parents should be on their way now and should be able to arrive tomorrow. Only then can you see her if her parents agree."

Cheng Yu was silent for a moment and said, "Do you think Xiaolu committed suicide?"

"right."

Cheng Yu suddenly became excited. He stood up suddenly, his hair and beard bulging: "This is impossible! Impossible! Xiaolu can't commit suicide! Someone must have killed Xiaolu! Damn it, I want to beat him to death, beat him to death! I want revenge! "

Cheng Yu was extremely painful and angry.

The girl I have liked for two years! He summoned up great courage to confess his love, but he learned that she had been secretly in love with him for five years. He finally found love. He had just tasted the sweetness of love, and she didn't even have a day to commit suicide?

Such a cheerful and generous person, such an optimistic and laughing person, especially since she has been having a lot of happy events recently, including a promotion in her career and a salary increase, and she has found love again. I also understand her family situation and know that her parents are in good health and harmony. How could such a person be possible? suicide? !

How can it be!

It must be homicide!

"calm!"

Feng Guozhu roared, and Cheng Yu stopped talking, but he was still wearing rough clothes and staring at him fiercely, like a wild beast that might break out and hurt people at any time.

Feng Guozhu said solemnly: "Show him the surveillance camera."

Opposite the single apartment building, a surveillance camera used to take pictures of falling objects captured the entire process of Zhang Lu's suicide.

The curtains in her room were originally closed, but at about one o'clock in the morning, the curtains were opened. The surveillance video captured Zhang Lu standing in front of the window with a numb expression, and slowly opened the window.

Her eyes were red and swollen with tears. Although his expression was numb, there was a sense of sadness and sorrow inside.

It's like the kind of sadness and sorrow that has completely despaired of fate, completely lost the courage to resist, and just wants to end the pain with death.

It was a nice night last night. Although there were no lights on in the room, it could still be seen from the surveillance that there was only Zhang Lu in the room and no one else.

After the window opened, Zhang Lu moved slowly but resolutely to reach out her upper body, then used her hands and feet to get out of the window, fell directly, and fell to the ground.

A life was lost.

"We later entered the room to investigate and found no signs of intrusion. The deceased's fingerprints were collected on the windows and curtains. Combined with surveillance, we can confirm that all the deceased's actions were autonomous. There was no coercion or threat.

Expression and posture analysis experts believe that surveillance shows that the deceased was in extreme grief and pain before committing suicide. And this was the direct reason for her suicide. We want to know what happened that caused her to be in such intense grief and pain. So we found you and hope you will cooperate with our investigation to find out why she committed suicide as soon as possible so as to comfort the deceased and her family. "

Cheng Yu's shoulders trembled, he squatted on the ground and covered his face with his hands, and started to cry.

The tall man, who is over 1.8 meters tall, is crying like a child at this moment.

Feng Guozhu did not persuade him anymore, but waited quietly.

At this time, it's okay to let him cry.

After a long time, Cheng Yu finally regained some composure and slowly began to tell.

"Xiaolu and I are college classmates, but we are in different grades, and I am one grade older than her. We already knew each other at that time.

…

Yesterday, I invited her to have dinner at the Lakeshore Restaurant, and I planned to confess my love to her on this day. I've liked her for a long time. She accepted me, I was very happy, very happy, I could see that she was also very happy, we talked a lot, and it wasn’t until after 11 o’clock that I sent her back, and made an appointment to go for a walk by the lake together tonight... "

Cheng Yu narrated the whole process. Feng Guozhu's brows gradually wrinkled.

Cheng Yu's testimony showed that the deceased Zhang Lu was in an extremely happy stage before committing suicide.

Isn’t it worth being happy about getting a promotion, salary increase, and love?

A security guard reported at this time: "Team Leader Feng, the online shopping information of the deceased has been found. The day before yesterday, she just placed an order for two pieces of clothing. According to the normal express delivery process, they will be delivered today.

There was also a courier sent from the deceased's hometown. The sender was her parents, and it was a food called "Nuo Cake". "

Cheng Yu murmured: "Xiaolu told me that she likes to eat the glutinous cake made by her parents the most."

Things are getting more and more wrong.

A person determined to commit suicide is unlikely to be interested in buying nice clothes online. Even if you were really interested, you should at least wait until the courier arrives before committing suicide, right?

Or did the incident that led to Zhang Lu's suicide happen after she placed an order for clothes online?

Getting along with Cheng Yu was obviously normal and very pleasant - Feng Guozhu, the surveillance camera at the Lakeside Restaurant, checked it out. During the surveillance, Zhang Lu could be seen in a joyful mood.

There was also surveillance on Cheng Yu sending Zhang Lu home. Surveillance showed that Cheng Yu only sent Zhang Lu to the elevator entrance of the apartment building. There, the two hugged for a while before they separated. Zhang Lu was obviously very happy at that time.

This seems to prove that the incident that led to her suicide happened after she separated from Cheng Yu.

Seeing that no more information could be obtained from Cheng Yu, Feng Guozhu sent him away first.

Looking at Cheng Yu's dejected back, Feng Guozhu sighed again in his heart.

I don’t know how long it will take for him to come out of the shadow of this incident.

Hey, you are such a good person, why can’t you think about it? Why did you commit suicide?

As things have developed now, Feng Guozhu feels that he can no longer look at it simply from the perspective of "suicide".

Current evidence shows that the deceased had no reason to commit suicide.

There is no reason to commit suicide, but suicide occurs, which means that the possibility of homicide is hidden in it.

Maybe this suicide was just a disguise, maybe it was some new type of more covert coercion or induced suicide?

In this case, it must be treated as an intentional homicide. However, as we all know, murder cases are the highest priority cases.

After reporting to his superiors, the superiors also took the matter seriously, so they allocated more resources and personnel to Feng Guozhu and asked him to be responsible for the investigation of the matter.

So in the afternoon, a group of security officers came to Zhang Lu's place of work and began to comprehensively sort out her social circle and network.

Several of her colleagues in the same office were highlighted. After all, if you spend a lot of time together, it's easier to spot clues.

but……

"What? Xiaolu committed suicide? Are you kidding me?! How could she commit suicide?"

"I made an appointment with her yesterday to go see a movie on the weekend!"

"Xiao Lu is the pistachio of our office. She is very optimistic and cheerful. It is impossible for her to commit suicide. Are you mistaken?"

"Xiaolu just received a notice yesterday that she got a promotion and a salary increase. You don't know how envious I am. Suicide? How is it possible?"

Colleagues expressed shock and confusion about the incident. According to the descriptions of her colleagues, Zhang Lu is very popular, and even the cleaning lady, logistics electricians, and maintenance workers like her very much.

Moreover, Zhang Lu has a cheerful personality and strong work ability, so she deserves the title of office pistachio.

How could such a person... commit suicide?

There is no reason.

After a round of investigation, Feng Guozhu became even more confused.

He had to ask his superiors for help and called in an on-site investigation expert.

Now, he had to suspect that there was another hidden reason behind Zhang Lu's suicide. Then, it is appropriate to investigate the site again.

It was already evening when the field survey experts arrived. Feng Guozhu did not delay and immediately took him to the scene of the crime, which was the apartment where Zhang Lu rented.

Since the incident, the scene has been well protected.

The current survey experts took out various instruments and equipment, and carefully surveyed the entire room with an attitude more serious and meticulous than ants looking for bread crumbs.

"It's just suicide, it's not wrong."

The expert was a little confused: "This is an obvious and simple suicide case. Can't you find it out?"

Seeing that some readers are worried about whether this volume will be similar to "Prophecy" and "The Doom", I would like to answer here. There is no need to worry about this at all.

This will be a whole new story.
