Paranormal incident investigation notes

Lu Ming felt that today had opened his eyes and gained knowledge.

I'm afraid this old dog can become what He Wei calls "an authentic old store famous far and near." It has such a great reputation, and this old dog also plays a big role.

"Old Wu, I've eaten all this rhubarb. It's not poisonous. Can it be eaten at the bottom of the pot?"

"Yeah, I can't wait any longer."

The fat restaurant owner waved his hand: "Don't worry, wait another half an hour. Wait until Dahuang is really fine before serving."

“You can’t go wrong with rhubarb, so there’s no need to wait.”

"You still can't believe Dahuang?"

"Just to be on the safe side, to be on the safe side."

The fat boss was not surprised. He explained to the customers with a stylized smile and persisted for half an hour. Afterwards, seeing that Rhubarb was still lazily basking in the sun, nothing happened, he finally brought out the secret mushroom soup base and presented non-toxic mushrooms that had been tested by Rhubarb for the diners to eat.

Lu Ming also planned to go back into the bag. He took a step forward and glanced at Dahuang, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Animal testing?"

The words composed of these four words exploded in Lu Ming's mind like a bolt of lightning.

The previous thick fog, seemingly irrelevant clues, and various strange phenomena all together formed a hard lock that was unbreakable.

But now, these four words are like a key, gently pushing the lock that he was completely helpless to open.

The door opened, and Lu Ming's eyes suddenly became clear.

At this moment, he thought of many things. There are many things that I couldn't figure out clearly before.

Following this beginning, Lu Ming's thoughts quickly moved deeper.

"Lu Ming? Why are you so dazed..."

At this time, because Lu Ming had not returned for a long time, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei also left the private room and went outside to look for Lu Ming. Then she saw Lu Ming standing quietly on the side of the road looking into the distance, as if he was in a trance.

He Wei immediately opened her mouth to call him. But before he finished speaking, he was immediately stopped by Zhang Dingshan.

"Lu Ming seems to have remembered something. Don't disturb him."

He Wei was startled, and then her heart beat violently.

Lu Ming, did he remember something?

Really?

"Look, look, I'm just saying, if working overtime is useless and self-abuse is ineffective, you have to combine work and rest. When you need to relax, you have to relax. Look, I just took him out to eat delicious food. When you eat it, don’t you feel inspired?”

Her face was filled with joy.

The two of them stood aside quietly, waiting for Lu Ming.

After a long time, Lu Ming took a deep breath.

He figured out many things.

Turning around, Lu Ming was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Dingshan and He Wei: "When did you come?"

"Do not talk nonsense!"

He Wei said directly: "Have you figured something out? Tell me quickly."

Lu Ming nodded: "I did think of a possibility. I can't guarantee that it is correct, but at least it can be used as a clue to continue the investigation. Come on, let's go back to the private room first."

Back in the private room, He Wei lost her appetite when faced with the delicious fungi. After closing the door and making sure no one was eavesdropping, Lu Mingcai said: "You should have noticed it. Wu Biao was the first case of this kind of abnormal suicide. And, except for Wu Biao, the other victims of abnormal suicide cases... There are no reports of any abnormality in the animals around us in Kyoto.”

Among the well-documented suicide cases, Wu Biao was indeed the first. In fact, Wu Biao's suicide case was not known to him before. He only found out after following the line "Bagua mirrors are commonly placed in Nanlin Street shops".

Before Wu Biao, it was indeed possible that there were abnormal suicide cases, but after research and judgment, several people agreed that it was unlikely. In other words, it is very likely that Wu Biao was the first unreasonable suicide case.

"Animal suicide? What...what does this mean?"

He Wei was a little confused.

Lu Ming said: "Originally I didn't know what this meant. But just now, I saw the owner of this store using the big yellow dog raised at home to verify whether the fungus soup is poisonous or not, and using it for animal testing, and I remembered... … Could those animals that committed suicide before Wu Biao also be used for animal testing?”

Zhang Dingshan's forehead wrinkled slightly, as if he remembered something.

"Going back to the beginning of the case, our judgment on the case. At that time, we all agreed that there was a high possibility of the intervention of some unknown type of 'supernatural force'. That is, there was a person, or organization, who had mastered a certain A method of 'abnormal suicide'.

Here, we will not discuss what this abnormal suicide method is, what the process is, etc., as long as we first assume that this method exists.

So later, we will continue to speculate, when this person or organization has just mastered this method, what is the most reasonable way for him or them to use it? "

He Wei suddenly shouted: "Animal testing!"

"Yes, animal testing." Lu Ming said solemnly: "Just like you or I have mastered this method, because of lack of understanding, ignorance of the consequences, and lack of self-confidence, even if you want to kill someone, you will usually choose a method for the first time. An inconsequential animal is used to test this ability."

Animals are less involved. Even if you fail, there will be no consequences for yourself. If successful, the capabilities, effectiveness, and possible limitations of this approach can be observed.

If you choose people to start from the beginning, it will be easier to have an uncontrollable situation, and it will not end well if it fails.

The choice of animals for testing is very reasonable.

"The first target that person, or organization, selected after mastering this method was Wu Biao. But he did not attack Wu Biao directly. Instead, he first used Wu Biao's dogs and geese as experimental subjects, and waited for the results of the experiment. After getting the result and confirming that it was really effective, we then attacked Wu Biao..."

Lu Ming nodded: "I think so. Then the next question is, why did that person or organization choose Wu Biao as the first target?"

Information about Wu Biao flowed through He Wei's mind instantly.

Wu Biao was a famous street gangster, local gangster and second-rater in Nanlin Street at that time. He was so angry with his parents that he beat his wife away due to domestic violence. He was usually domineering and bullied men and women.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the scum of society is a scumbag.

For such a person, there should be many people who usually hate him. I don’t know how many people are looking forward to his death.

He Wei thoughtfully said: "This person or organization that has mastered this kind of supernatural power that can make people commit suicide abnormally... should have a grudge against Wu Biao."

"I tend to suspect that it was one person, not an organization, who mastered this power. This person suddenly mastered this supernatural power through some unknown method, and then used this power to solve his own problems. Enemy, this is a very normal choice. Judging from Wu Biao’s social level, the social level of people who can have enmity with Wu Biao should not be high.”

With a high social level, how could he possibly interact with someone like Wu Biao?

He Wei became more and more excited: "Yes, he has a grudge against Wu Biao! He mastered this power. He first killed Wu Biao's dogs, geese and mice. After confirming the usage specifications and effects of this method, he made a decisive move. Attack Wu Biao and kill Wu Biao!

I suspect that this person also killed the cat that hit and died in front of Zhou Mingsheng when he went to see Feng Shui! The purpose is to warn Zhou Mingsheng and tell him not to meddle in his own business! He was afraid that Zhou Mingsheng would find out something that threatened him.

Well, this is also in line with the mentality of someone who has just mastered this kind of power, is not confident enough in himself, and is slightly threatened - even if it is only a possible threat, he has to overreact in order to protect himself! "

Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "This is indeed a direction worthy of investigation. Well, then we will investigate those people who have enmity with Wu Biao."

"Need not."

Contrary to their expectations, Lu Ming directly rejected this direction.

"There are countless people who want to kill such a ruffian, and Wu Biao has been dead for more than ten years. It has been so long that it may not be easy to investigate. I have a simpler way."

Looking at the two people, Lu Ming said slowly: "Actually, all the clues have been placed in front of us."

He Wei said anxiously: "Speak quickly and don't show off!"

"This clue is very simple, that is, why is the probability of accidents among the local residents of Nanlin Street so low, and most of them are outsiders?

Combined with the conclusion that "even if the victim committed suicide by using supernatural power, the murderer at least had contact with the victim", we can roughly draw an inference: whether the murderer has less contact with the local residents of Nanlin Street and less contact with outsiders. More contact? "

Zhang Dingshan narrowed his eyes: "Is the murderer also a local resident of Nanlin Street?"

"How do you say this? Why... hmm?"

He Wei was puzzled at first, but then she realized it and couldn't help but nodded: "It seems that is indeed the case."

Nanlin Street is a food street where a large number of foreigners arrive almost every day. Most of the local residents on Nanlin Street are engaged in the catering or service industry, specifically serving these migrant populations.

For the local residents of Nanlin Street, serving outsiders is both work and life.

This will lead to a slightly counterintuitive result: although the local residents of Nanlin Street work and live in the same place, they have less contact with each other and more contact with outsiders.

So, since “even if the victim committed suicide through the use of supernatural power, the murderer at least had contact with the victim”, plus “the local residents of Nanlin Street, although they work and live in the same place, their contact with each other is not Relatively few, but more contact with outsiders." The murderer is identified as a local resident of Nanlin Street. "There are very few abnormal suicide cases of local residents of Nanlin Street, and the vast majority are outsiders." This phenomenon can be Got an explanation.

It can even be explained that "the more times you come to Nanlin Street, the higher the probability of abnormal suicide."

The reason is simple. The more times you come to Nanlin Street, the higher the probability of coming into contact with the murderer who is a native resident of Nanlin Street, and the higher the probability of interacting with him, which will lead to him deciding to kill someone.

"That makes sense!"

He Wei became more and more excited: "The latest abnormal suicide case happened less than half a month ago. The deceased was also found to have gone to Nanlin Street. The same was true for several previous deceased people. This proves , from the initial Wu Biao suicide case until recently, the murderer has been in Nanlin Street! He has been in Nanlin Street for at least ten years! "

"So, we have four constraints."

Zhang Dingshan said quickly: "First, the murderer is most likely to have a grudge against Wu Biao. Second, the murderer is an old resident of Nanlin Street and has been there for more than ten years. Third, the murderer is still in Nanlin Street at the moment! Fourth, Based on the fact that the murderer has more contact with outsiders, it can be inferred that the murderer should also run a certain shop on Nanlin Street, or work in a certain shop."

Generally speaking, only those who run shops or work in a certain shop will have more contact with outsiders. Of course, there may be special circumstances. For example, the person likes to hang out all day long, and likes to stroll on the streets, so that he has more contact with outsiders. But this is a low-probability situation and is not considered for now.

When investigating a case, of course, you must first investigate the high-probability situation. If the high-probability situation cannot be investigated and there is no gain, you will investigate the low-probability situation. This is how normal people think.

Compared with the previous direction of the investigation, which was to investigate the social circle of Wu Biao, who died more than ten years ago, now, with these four restrictions, the follow-up investigation suddenly became countless times clearer.

No matter how large the survey sample is, once these four restrictions are removed, the number of qualified people ultimately screened out may not exceed ten.

It can almost be said that the murderer has been locked at this moment!

"Let's go! Check immediately!"

He Wei started to protest, but Lu Ming stopped her.

"Why be anxious! The murderer has been here for more than ten years and won't be able to escape later. Eat first, eat first! It tastes so fragrant, it must be delicious."

At this moment, Lu Ming was not in a hurry.

He Wei said anxiously: "How long has it been and you still want to eat?"

Lu Ming rolled his eyes at He Wei: "Who told me that the more anxious you are, the more useless it is? I don't want to abuse myself, I have to treat myself well."

"Investigating a case cannot be called self-abuse... Now that the facts of the case are clear, can it be called self-abuse?!"

Zhang Dingshan coughed lightly: "Eat first. Only when you are full will you have the strength to investigate the case."

He Wei finally sat down angrily.

Lu Ming put the mushrooms into the pot, boiled them, and took a bite with dipping sauce. Sure enough, he had an endless aftertaste and left a fragrant aroma in his mouth.

"It's really good. No wonder this store is so popular."

He sighed sincerely.

Under He Wei's urging, Lu Ming failed to savor the meal. After finishing the meal at an unprecedented speed, the three of them immediately got into the car and headed toward the Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau at lightning speed.

Feng Guozhu and some security officers who were assigned to cooperate with the second operation team were summoned.

"These are four screening conditions. I ask you to conduct screening immediately and find those who meet the conditions. However, one thing needs to be noted. The investigation process must be conducted in secret, must be kept confidential, and cannot alert anyone. Otherwise... it may Life is in danger.”
