Paranormal incident investigation notes

Before the interrogating security officer could continue questioning, Tu Wen suddenly realized something, and his expression became more and more shocked: "What? You said Zhou Liang is dead? He, he is dead? How? Sheriff, you can't accuse me unjustly. , you see, I already admitted that I accidentally killed that bad gambler, I must be sentenced to death, right? I don’t need to hide anything else, how can you still shoot me twice? Zhou Liang really has nothing to do with me, It’s really not me who killed him…”

The interrogating security officer ignored his complaint and continued to interrogate him carefully from roundabout angles according to the interrogation plan.

As he listened, Feng Guozhu gradually felt it.

Zhou Liang's death most likely had nothing to do with Tu Wen.

Ordinary people who want to confront experienced interrogators must resist the huge psychological pressure and remain silent and say nothing. Otherwise, as long as they explain and try to hide something, they will always find flaws.

But Tu Wen's explanation was flawless.

This is not something an ordinary person can do. However, Tu Wen did it, which almost proved that everything he said was true.

Tu Wen was temporarily detained and the investigation continued. After a lot of follow-up work, Tu Wen's suspicion of committing the crime was completely eliminated by the task force.

Of course, the investigation into the matter of him deliberately beating others and causing them to become unconscious and injured will continue to be investigated. But that's another case.

If Tu Wen's suspicion is eliminated, the previous speculation that "Zeng Jian was killed because the case progressed and threatened the murderer behind the scenes" cannot be established. Because apparently, it turned out that his investigation wasn't really going anywhere.

So what to do next?

As a last resort, the task force had to expand the scope of its investigation. People dug up all the unreasonable suicide cases in the past, including Zeng Jian's suicide case, and scrutinized them again, trying to find clues.

The investigative power possessed by the task force cannot be compared to that of the Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau. The team even includes the world's top criminal investigation experts.

But...after a full month of busy work, other than becoming more and more certain that those people's suicides were really just suicides, there was no other discovery.

"I can guarantee that within the technological scope of our human civilization, there is no killing method that can fake the victim's suicide and escape our investigation. The suicides of the deceased are by no means faked, and there is no forced suicide. , induce suicide, and deceive the possibility of suicide.

In this way, when all possibilities are eliminated, the last remaining possibility, no matter how incredible it is, must be the truth. "

At the task force's summary meeting, the person in charge said the summary expressionlessly: "So, the deaths of these people are suicides. Normal suicides. Including our former comrade-in-arms, Zeng Jian."

Feng Guozhu was somewhat unable to accept this conclusion. After all, the anomaly is clearly there for everyone to see. Anyone who insists on saying there is nothing abnormal will be dissatisfied.

But he had to accept the current reality.

So what if you don’t accept it? The task force mobilized experts from all over the world but could not find any traces of homicide, so they still insisted that it was not suicide but homicide?

Feng Guozhu could even notice that even he, the head of the task force who was reading the concluding remarks at this moment, could not be convinced by this set of rhetoric. But, so what?

In this situation, wouldn't he still have to pinch his nose and come to this conclusion just like himself?

The summary meeting is over. The task force was disbanded and this investigation was concluded.

Feng Guozhu was in a gloomy mood.

"Director Feng, come to my office."

The head of the task force stopped him.

When I arrived at the person in charge's office, I heard the person in charge say, "I feel unhappy, right?"

Feng Guozhu smiled bitterly: "Boss, are you happy?"

The person in charge was noncommittal and continued: "Zeng Jian is your subordinate?"

"Yes. A very clever young man."

The person in charge stood up and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry. I will continue to report this case. The superiors will review it again. If they deem it necessary, they will send people to investigate again."

Feng Guozhu said bitterly: "What can we do if we check again? This time, the world's top experts have been transferred here. Isn't it the same?"

"It's different." The person in charge shook his head: "I can reveal some secrets to you. If the superiors think it is necessary to continue the investigation, then the person who comes to investigate next time... will not be ordinary people."

"Aren't they ordinary people? Can they fly into the sky and escape from the earth? Can they spread beans and turn into soldiers to make waves?"

"You old Feng." The person in charge smiled lightly: "What I can tell you is that if they can't find anything, then you should give up completely."

The person in charge's words made Feng Guozhu feel a little curious and expectant.

After the task force was disbanded and the personnel evacuated, he began to wait. But he waited for more than a week without any news.

Then he realized that there was a high probability that his superiors did not think it was necessary to reopen the investigation of these cases.

No one may pay attention to you again in the future.

"Why……"

With a deep sigh, he buried the matter deep in his heart and focused his energy on his normal work.

At this moment, in the Capital City, there is the Planet Security Bureau Building 13. Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang all had a solemn expression on their faces as they left Li Wenhua's office.

Lu Qingliang also held a thick file bag in his hand.

After receiving the notice from Lu Qingliang, Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming, and He Wei rushed back from all over the world and gathered at the headquarters yesterday. After a day's rest, I came to Li Wenhua's office today and got the information on this mission.

"Fate...fate?"

This is the code name for this case.

Unreasonable suicide cases involving hundreds of people that lasted for nearly ten years? Abnormally elevated suicide rates? After removing these unreasonable suicide cases, will the suicide rate return to normal? Even the security guard who investigated the case committed suicide inexplicably?

Lu Ming has realized that this is another extremely difficult case.

But thinking about it on the other hand, if the case is not difficult, then the local Public Security Bureau will solve it on its own. If it doesn't work, the task force can also solve it without coming to the Operations Office of the Planetary Security Bureau.

For what I haven’t mentioned, let’s read the papers first and understand the specific situation first.

In the conference room, several people watched for several hours before they had a preliminary understanding of the case.

"What do you think?"

Zhang Dingshan lightly knocked on the table, waking up the three people who were deep in thought.

Lu Ming thought for a while and said: "I feel that the previous ideas of the Public Security Bureau and the task force are reasonable. Now that we take over, we should follow this idea and investigate first. Of course, on-site investigation and social relations investigation There is no need to investigate further, the task force has already completed this direction."

In terms of routine investigations, Operation Team 2 has no advantage over the task force. Even if Operation Team 2 were to restart the regular investigation again, the people they could hire would most likely be the same people the original task force had hired.

This doesn't make sense.

"I think the idea that can be continued is to investigate the common points. Limited to conventional investigative thinking, there are some aspects that the task force has not investigated, such as... genes."

In the original Mountain God case, it was finally confirmed that the victims had genes in common. However, this is an extraordinary aspect, and it is normal that the task force did not conduct investigations in this area.

After all, who is a serious criminal who would select his victims based on their genes? Who in the serious task force would think of finding common ground based on genes?

Zhang Dingshan nodded: "This is a noteworthy point. Let's write it down first."

"There is another point that can be checked, and that is the professional background and skills of these people."

"Do you suspect that these people are faking their own deaths? Are those who committed suicide actively cooperating with some behind-the-scenes force?"

This is something that has appeared in both the Mountain God Case and the Prophecy Case.

If the professional background and skills of the deceased can be pieced together to piece together certain needs, then we can probably guess the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes. Just like the prophecy case.

If he actively cooperates and commits suicide to complete his "curtain call" from the real world, then even if he searches the sky, it will be impossible to find traces of homicide.

Lu Ming said: "Whether it is true or not, we can check in this direction first."

"Okay. This is also a direction."

Lu Ming raised his hand to indicate that he had finished speaking. He Wei thought for a while and then said: "In this mission, I feel that we need to pay special attention to our own safety."

Lu Ming thought of the security guard who committed unreasonable suicide: "Indeed. I don't want to commit suicide inexplicably with the name of having a headache. In short, remember, I don't want to die. If I commit suicide, it must be Someone was harmed. You must avenge me."

Lu Ming is extremely satisfied with his current life. Such a fulfilling and passionate job, such close comrades, treatment beyond ordinary people's imagination, parents and sister at home are also living a good life, only a fool would want to die.

He Wei stretched out: "Me too. You know, I can't commit suicide. The world is so big, and I haven't finished reading it yet. How can I commit suicide?"

Lu Qingliang said: "My psychological evaluation is A+ every time. If I could commit suicide, there would be no more people alive in this world."

Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "I will not commit suicide. Everyone should pay attention. During the investigation, we will supervise each other and pay attention to each other. If anyone feels abnormal, report it immediately."

"yes."

"I have nothing else but this."

Lu Qingliang scratched his head and said with some hesitation: "I feel that this case is a bit similar to Death Note... Do you feel this way?"

Lu Ming was startled and then reacted.

It does look a bit like it.

Death Note is a comic that Lu Ming read when he was a child. The main setting is that there is a notebook, and as long as a person's name is written on it, that person will die.

In this way, the notebook holder can kill without contact. And since it is a non-contact killing, it is impossible to leave evidence and it is impossible for investigators to solve the case.

Going back to this case, there are unreasonable suicide cases that appear regularly, and there are death scenes without any traces of homicide...

It looks like someone whose name was written on the Death Note and then died. The only difference is that in the Death Note comics, the Death Note can arrange the death form of the deceased. In this case, all the victims committed suicide.

So, if this case is really a Death Note, or something similar to the Death Note's mechanism of causing death, the case will be difficult to solve.

Lu Ming once discussed with people in the forum with great interest, how to use it without being discovered if he obtained the Death Note. Discussions went on and on, and the final conclusion was that as long as the holder did not commit suicide, it would be impossible for the investigative forces to find him.

In fact, as long as they don't go too far, the investigative force won't even be able to discover it.

I arranged for a person to die in a car accident today, for someone to be killed by a falling object tomorrow, and for someone to be hacked to death with a knife the day after tomorrow. Who could find out that this was arranged? Who can find me hidden behind the scenes?

So many people die every day from various accidents around the world, and so many people die from illness and natural causes. How can a few death cases be discovered?

It's simply impossible.

In the original work, the Death Note was finally found due to some degree of "authorship" by the holder.

Lu Ming hoped that it had nothing to do with some special death mechanism similar to Death Note, but he had to admit that there were similarities between this case and Death Note.

"Anyway, let's note this possibility first."

During the continuous discussion, the four people gradually established several consensuses.

There are several points that need attention on the one hand. On the other hand, several people believe that at this stage, we are still unable to determine whether these unreasonable suicide cases are really unreasonable, and whether there is really some hidden force that dominates all of this.

But we can presuppose that there is indeed a secretly dominant force in this, and launch follow-up investigations based on this.

This can probably be regarded as a method of proof by contradiction, another way of investigation.

The investigation idea of ​​the task force and the local public security bureau is to find evidence to prove the existence of a secretly dominant force. Our own investigation idea is to first assume the existence of a secretly dominant force, and then look for evidence by predicting his behavior.

Even if no evidence is found in the end, it can be regarded as disproof that these suicide cases are normal.

After presupposing the existence of the secretly dominant force, and combining it with the reality that "conventional forces conducted conventional investigations, all imaginable investigation plans found nothing", we can easily define this secretly dominant force as A "supernatural force" of sorts.

After all, if it weren't for the supernatural, how could a regular investigation turn up nothing?

However, since it is a supernatural force, our subsequent investigation methods are not bound by "common sense".

Lu Ming knew that this was his biggest advantage over the task force.

The task force needs to follow "common sense" and will not consider some obviously absurd possibilities at all. For example, they will not even consider the possibility that aliens control people's brains and make people commit suicide.

But our side is different.

We will really consider this possibility.
