Hello everyone, I am Ma Gang Ma, a fan of suspense novels.
Today I will talk about a strange case against the sky in a novel.
It happened fifteen years ago in Hong Kong, Valentine's Day.
A police officer was sitting in his car reading magazines and eating hamburgers when he suddenly received a case:
A man and a woman fell to their deaths from the roof of an office building in Central.
I really will choose a date, the policeman thought.
He went downstairs to the office building, turned over the security zone, and saw two corpses lying on the ground, like mud.
Forensics officers removed the body and cleaners began brushing the blood stains at the scene.
It quickly returned to the lively and romantic atmosphere of Valentine's Day, as if nothing had happened.
·
The police went to the first scene of the crime, the roof of the office building.
It is a 40-story old building with a ring of rusty iron railings at the edge of the roof.
According to rooftop surveillance video, the situation at that time was like this:
The woman came first, she was more willing to die, climbed over the railing, and stood on the edge of the roof.
After about half an hour, the man came, and the man also climbed over the railing.
The two were about 1.5 meters apart.
The woman seemed to say something, not letting the man get close.
The man simply knelt down, hooked his hand around the railing, hung his head, and suddenly fell.
The woman watched in shock for a minute, and then jumped down.
The policeman frowned, it wasn't so general.
What exactly is the relationship between these two people, the enemy? It's not like that.
If it is an enemy, it must be a man who is guilty, kneels down in order to atone for his sins, and then commits suicide, but the man is dead, and the woman is also taking revenge, why should he jump?
lover? Why do men jump first?
The woman stayed for a minute, stood like a log for a minute, and then jumped down.
One minute, exactly one minute, why this minute?
Soon after, the identities of the two dead were determined.
The male deceased was named Lin Shihao, 31 years old, manager of a trading company. unmarried.
The woman who died was named Amanda, 29 years old, and married.
Amanda has leukemia and is being treated in hospital.
Her husband, a wealthy businessman, never visited the hospital when he knew his wife was ill, but only paid enough for the medical expenses.
Instead, Lin Shihao spends every day in the hospital with Amanda.
The two are very close, and there may be an improper relationship between men and women.
In this way, the nature of the case can be presumed.
Amanda knew that she would not live long, and could not bear the pain of chemotherapy, so she chose to commit suicide.
And Lin Shihao loves Amanda very much, and it is also reasonable for the two of them to die together.
But at this time, the forensic department made an important discovery:
The sleeping pill ingredient was found in Lin Shihao's stomach, and the dose was not small, that is to say, Lin Shihao had taken sleeping pills before his death.
Why? Why did he take sleeping pills and then run to the roof and jump off the building?
When the police got home, it was already three o'clock in the morning. The wife was still waiting for him, and there was a warm meal on the table.
"Why don't you go to sleep?" The policeman spoke with a cold attitude.
"I'm waiting for you." The wife was very nice.
"Wait, go to sleep, I'll sleep in the study in a moment."
"Got it." The wife bowed her head and went to the bathroom to help the police put water, "After eating, remember to take a hot bath." ”
Not only was this complicated love affair double death case, but the policeman himself encountered an embarrassing affair.
He hadn't slept with his wife in a long time, deliberately avoiding her.
The cause was that one day a year ago, when the police were on duty in the office, they entered his wife's name on the computer of the system, and a record of opening the room popped up on the computer.
Five-star hotel.
There were two registered names, one was his wife, and the police looked it up, and the man and his wife had previously been from a university.
Is it first love, right? First love is always despicable.
The police did not ask his wife for verification on this matter, so why did they say it? How embarrassing.
What would he do if the wife answered yes. Even if his wife replied no, he didn't believe it.
Love sometimes is consumed, I consume you, you don't want to escape from my palm.
So the police began to punish his wife in his own way, shouting at her, finding stubble in everything, not returning home at night, not having a room for a year, always investigating cases, trapping himself in one case after another.
The police were waiting for the wife to resist, waiting for the wife to be unable to stand it.
For the past year, the police have checked the wife on the computer system every day, whether they have opened the house, and where the man is now.
But it turned out to be nothing.
"They should go to more private places, right?" For example in the car, in the grass. "The policemen's heads are filled with these imaginary images.
The policeman lost his temper when he had nothing to do, but his wife never resisted. The more the wife did not resist, the more the police felt that the wife was ashamed and did not dare to speak out.
When will such days come to an end?
After eating, the policeman went to the bathroom to take a bath, and the whole person soaked in the bathtub, and his head slowly sank into the hot water.
Day 2.
The police decided to visit Chen Baitao's (Amanda's husband) at his house.
The roaring party music was heard in the distance.
The door was open, the police walked in, the living room was very large, nearly eighty square meters, luxuriously decorated.
Two Ukrainian girls in bikinis were dancing to music on the coffee table, and Chen Baitao was sitting on the sofa, wearing fashionable sunglasses and a flower shirt.
He was stretching out his legs and rubbing his toes on the girls' bodies.
The policeman thought to himself, this man can really play, and his wife died a few days ago, so he couldn't wait.
"Excuse me, I'll interrupt." The police officer presented his police card.
"What's the matter?" The smile on Chen Baitao's face sank.
"I want to talk to you about your wife's death."
Chen Baitao felt very disappointed, and he waved at the two Ukrainian girls and let them go to the bedroom.
"Your wife has just died, and you're playing like this, as if it's not appropriate, right?" The policeman pulled out a notebook and pen and began to record.
He pulled out a cigar and roasted it over the fire, laughing and saying, "I'm doing this to tell her that I'm alive and well, and to tell her not to worry about me below." ”
The policeman's eyes looked around the room, and on the wall hung amanda and Chen Baitao's wedding photos.
"You should love your wife very much." The police said.
"Of course love, you see how many pairs of shoes there are in this room, how many designer handbags there are." There was also the maid, who had always opened her mouth to reach out, and even had a leukemia hospitalization and a large number of American experts flew to diagnose her. ”
Since Amanda fell ill, Chen Baitao has not been in the hospital once. Just pay the bill.
"But you never went to the hospital to see her."
A puff of smoke spewed out of Chen Baitao's mouth, and he choked and coughed a few times, "Doesn't she have a lover to accompany him?" The man named Lin Shihao, the two of them can live happily, and even die together. ”
His voice turned hoarse, "You said that you died together, and when you arrived at Huangquan, did you have a companion?" ”
"Do you know Lin Shihao?"
"It's not just acquaintance, I even slept with his wife." He laughed at himself.
The policeman thought to himself, this Chen Baitao also thought about it, and asked, "Then you acquiesced to the relationship between Lin Shihao and your wife?" ”
At a certain moment, a tear fell down Chen Baitao's cheek.
Because he was wearing sunglasses, he didn't look abnormal, just a lowered tone, with a hint of vibrato, "I didn't acquiesce, but recognized." ”
After chatting for a while, I didn't get any clues.
On the day of Amanda's suicide, Chen Baitao was at home, still with these two Ukrainian women.
He had never been in contact with Lin Shihao, and it was impossible to give him sleeping pills.
Another day later, the police went to the trading company owned by Lin Shihao.
The elevator went straight up to the top floor, and in the large office, only a young woman was sorting out documents.
The woman looks very quiet, her skin is thin, and her white shirt is draped in a men's suit, and she is Lin Shihao's secretary XiaoYa.
"Why are you alone?" The police asked.
"The bosses are dead, and the employees are running away after receiving their salaries." She answered.
"Then why are you still here?"
"After following him for five years, I always have to finish the things in my hand, and since the company is going to close, let him lose less as much as possible."
The pen in Xiao Ya's hand stopped for a moment, grabbed the coat with his fingers, and wrapped the coat more tightly on his body, as if grasping for a temperature that was about to pass away.
The policeman looked at the coat draped over Xiao Ya's body, which was expensive. Or men's.
Judging from the size of the coat, is it Lin Shihao's? The relationship between the two is not ordinary.
The policeman quietly went to the water bar and made a cup of coffee.
Drinking coffee, Yu Yu asked, "Your boss is in good condition, there should be a lot of suitors, right?" ”
"He never fell in love, just buried his head in work, so the company's business has always been good." As soon as people fall in love, they are prone to dizziness. ”
"Do you know Amanda?"
Hearing this name, Xiao Ya seemed very excited, "That mean woman has been pestering my boss. ”
With a jolt in her hand, she knocked over the cup of water on the table and picked it up distraughtly, her hand scratched by the debris.
The police went to the bar and opened the medicine box, which contained some medicines, disinfectant potions and Band-Aids.
In addition, sleeping pills, stomach medicine, and headache pills are also placed.
The policeman returned, bandaged Xiaoya's wound with iodine and Band-Aid, and inadvertently asked, "Is your boss in good health?" I see a lot of medicine in the medicine box. ”
Xiao Ya said, "The boss often has headaches and needs to take some pain relief pills. The time difference in the trade line is reversed, and sometimes it is only early in the morning to return the customer's mail, and I can't sleep, so I have to take some sleeping pills to sleep in the company for a while. ”
"You want to accompany him all the time?"
"Whenever he needs it, I'll be at his side." She whispered.
The police once again determined in their hearts that the relationship between the two men was not ordinary.
A few days later, the police got a clue that they knew from the hospital.
Amanda has leukemia but has found a suitable bone marrow transplant.
Amanda didn't know about this yet, but Chen Baitao knew, because the bone marrow donor was found by Chen Baitao.
Why? He went to another bone marrow donor, and he wanted to see death again.
And that Xiao Ya, the police asked several colleagues who left the company, and they all said that Xiao Ya liked Lin Shihao very much.
There is a very strange evidence that:
Chen Baitao had called Xiao Ya three times the day before the crime, and the two people should have not known each other before.
Check Chen Baitao again.
Seven years ago, there was a case of "suspected strong J", who was the victim? It's Amanda.
Later, Amanda withdrew the lawsuit, and then Amanda married Chen Baitao.
What a strange relationship this is.
The police went to Amanda's father, and after learning about the situation, the truth surfaced.
In the interrogation room, Chen Baitao sat.
"You want your wife to die, don't you?" The policeman glanced at Chen Baitao.
"I can't love her too late, so why would I want her to die?" Chen Baitao smiled.
"Including John J her?"
Chen Baitao's face twitched inexplicably.
"You used a million to keep this private, right?"
"That's all in the past." Chen Baitao replied, "She also married me later, and she loved me." ”
"If she hadn't married you in the first place, her father would have been hacked to death by usury." The police lit a cigarette.
The police had learned about this matter, and Amanda's father owed a loan shark, and Chen Baitao paid him to solve it.
In return, Amanda was asked to drop the charge of strong J.
But where there is a head for gambling money, this father gambles again and again, the more he owes, the more he can't get it, he asks his daughter, and finally his daughter marries Chen Baitao for money.
"It's a matter between us as a couple, and what does it have to do with this case?" Chen Baitao was very angry.
"But finding a suitable bone marrow transplant is related to the case." A puff of smoke erupted from the policeman's mouth.
Chen Baitao swallowed his saliva and clenched his fists.
"Obviously, I have found a suitable bone marrow for transplantation, and your wife's leukemia has been saved, and she can not die." But why didn't you tell her about it? ”
"Tell her what to do?!" The emotions that Chen Baitao had controlled for a long time exploded in an instant.
"Do you want to watch your wife die?"
"She's going to divorce me, you know?" She said she wanted to be with Lin Shihao. She said she was dying and asked if I could spare her! ”
Chen Baitao touched the brink of collapse, and he tapped the table with his hand.
"Don't you love someone and let her live well?" The police asked.
"Can't!"
Chen Baitao roared, "I did everything I could to keep her by my side, she belongs to me, until I die!" The tombstone is also inscribed with my wife, my last name! ”
The second person to be tried in the interrogation room is Xiao Ya.
"You should love Lin Shihao very much, right?" The police began with this question.
"Love to give him five years of youth, work overtime with him day and night, every breakfast he eats, every cup of coffee, I brew." 」 Xiao Ya sighed.
"Including that sleeping pill, too?"
Xiao Ya raised her eyelids to look at the police, and then wrapped her body tighter in the men's suit she was wearing.
"Why are you feeding him sleeping pills?" The police asked.
"If the person you love must go, you will try your best to keep him." Xiao Ya sighed.
In fact, why this medicine was given to Lin Shihao was given by Chen Baitao.
He said to Xiao Ya, "My wife and your lover are so close, we all want love to come back, then we have to fight for ourselves." ”
Originally, Xiao Ya wanted to use sleeping pills to stun Lin Shihao, and then dry firewood with him, hoping that such a one-night relationship could keep Lin Shihao, who knew that Lin Shihao did not follow.
"Do you know that this medicine killed Lin Shihao?" The police said.
"Take his life?" Xiao Ya's eyes widened.
"He [Lin Shihao] fell from the roof in a daze and fell off the roof precisely because he ate this sleeping pill of yours."
The non-stop tears flowed down Xiao Ya's cheeks, she crouched on the table and trembled, and the men's suit slowly slid away.
"I begged him, got down on my knees and begged him, begged him not to go to the woman (Amanda), he must go. I put sleeping pills in the water, and I put down five more, and he was able to get up and go..."
So the whole thing is like this —
Amanda decided to commit suicide because she could not bear chemotherapy. She didn't know that she had actually found the right bone marrow, and she couldn't die.
Before dying, Amanda wants to meet Lin Shihao for the last time.
When Lin Shihao and Amanda said goodbye on the roof, lim shihao swallowed sleeping pills before, and his will was drowsy, and he accidentally fell off the roof.
A minute later, Amanda jumped along.
Two cases, one was an accidental fall from a building and one was a suicide for love.
"No one is responsible for the deaths of these two, as if no one knows what will happen in the future."
In front of the computer, the police typed the above text and closed the volume.
It was a little bright, and it was night to early morning, and two sparrows flew from the telephone pole outside the window.
The policeman pulled out his mobile phone and looked at it, and there was a text message from his wife, which read, "Have you been busy all night?" Waiting for you to come back. ”
At this time, the police found that his wife had sent him countless text messages this year, and the content of the messages was densely displayed-
"It's cold, remember to get dressed."
"There's rain tomorrow."
"How much harm does smoking do to the body?" Quit smoking before the age of thirty-five, and it's still too late. ”
"Happy Valentine's Day, husband."
"Happy birthday, I love you."
The police looked at the screen full of text messages, and this year he did not reply to a single one.
He took a bite of a cigarette and suddenly put it down again.
Yeah, instead of pursuing an impossible past, stop getting caught up in this meaningless cycle.
The police called and he said to his wife, "I'll come back now." ”
He finally let go of that past and decided not to mention it.
Finally, give the story an ending, and the ending is a memory.
Lin Shihao and Amanda have known each other for a long time and have always been in love. Both were poor at the time.
After the rape case, Amanda became Chen Baitao's wife, and Lin Shihao went abroad to develop after the painful loss of love.
A year ago, I returned to China, and after more than half a year, I learned that Amanda was ill and appeared next to her again to take care of her.
The two have a renewed old love.
On Christmas Eve, on the roof of the Wide Angle Building, Lin Shihao and Amanda were five minutes before their deaths.
"Did you know that there is another world living in the stars?" Amanda looked at the night sky and asked Lin Shihao.
"I don't know, I don't want to know, I just know that there will be miracles when I live. Even death shouldn't be here, it shouldn't be like this, smashing your face and body like a pile of mud! ”
Lin Shihao wanted to persuade Amanda not to commit suicide. He was dizzy and was the potent effect of sleeping pills.
"What should that look like?"
"I..." Lin Shihao raised his spirits, "I am not married to you, you have not yet enjoyed my name and surname, even if it is only a day, an hour, a second, we must be together well." In this world, on the marriage certificate, on the epitaph, get proof. ”
"Are you proposing to me?" she asked.
Lin Shihao crossed the railing, and with his soft legs, he staggered to Amanda's side, one meter 5 apart, and grabbed the railing.
"Marry me." Lin Shihao said.
"Proposing is not so casual." Amanda said.
Romantic electronic music came from all directions, and Valentine's Day arrived. Countless love wishes rise with the sound of music and float into the starry sky.
Lin Shihao took out the ring he had bought earlier and wanted to kneel on the ground and propose.
But at the same time, the power of the sleeping pill reached its extreme, and before he could utter any of his marriage proposals, he fell from the roof of the Wide Angle Building along with himself.
Only a "bang" was heard, and Lin Shihao's body rotted in the lively street.
Amanda was stunned, and the moment she got the ring ready to say yes, her lover died.
Is this fate? It's fate!
She stood dumbfounded on the lonely rooftop where she was alone, for a full minute, motionless, like a wooden man.
Then she grabbed the ring, put it on her hand, wiped all the tears from her face, and jumped down.
