Case Files 013

Hearing Zhao Mingkun's guess, I lowered my body and looked at the corpse carefully. Even if a person has received professional training, there is no way to train the micro-expressions at the moment of sudden emergency. When a person is scared, his first reaction is to widen his eyes. His pupils shrink, his mouth opens, and his facial expression stiffens.

It's a momentary expression of a person when fear occurs. However, after this momentary expression, different individuals have different mechanisms to face their fears. For example, most people will run away to avoid danger. And some timid people will have stiff limbs and a blank brain. They will be motionless. Some bold people will make counterattacks.

But no matter how the person reacts, at the moment when the emotion of fear is born, the brain will make its own adrenal glands produce a lot of adrenaline, which will accelerate the blood circulation, provide a large amount of blood supply to the body, and cause the muscles to contract. to be able to react at any time.

The deceased was obviously a coward.

In psychology, putting your hands around yourself indicates a hint of fear and a desire to protect yourself, even refusing to accept unexpected situations. Due to the muscle contraction caused by adrenaline at the moment of death, the expression of the deceased is permanently frozen on his face.

And Guan Zengbin told me many times that this phenomenon is called corpse spasm.

I opened my mouth and said: "In a psychology book I read before, it was indeed mentioned that in a moment of high tension, when a strong stimulus is exerted by the outside world, the best stimulus effect is fright. At this moment, his own blood is like a flood breaking through a dam, tearing the myocardial fibers, and the heart begins to bleed."

Looking at Zhao Mingkun, I continued: "This causes the heart to suddenly stop beating and die."

"That is to say." Zhao Mingkun said, "In medicine, does this really happen?"

I nodded, "Research shows that when people are constantly threatened, the adrenaline in their bodies will gradually accumulate, and when the accumulation reaches a certain amount, it will damage the heart cells and cause rose erythema, and finally, quantitative changes to qualitative changes, resulting in death."

"Slowly scared to death? " Zhao Mingkun crouched beside the corpse and began to search.

I nodded and said slowly, "Of course it can be said like that."

Zhao Mingkun found a wallet on the body. There was an ID card in it, "It's certain, this is Hu Pei. It's just that someone is ahead of us. Obviously, someone doesn't want you to find the whereabouts of your girlfriend. "

I frowned, watching Zhao Mingkun flip through Hu Pei's clothes, and said, "Yes, from the moment Guan Zengbin was captured, the murderer should have already begun to calculate. Then, wouldn't anyone who knew about this matter be silenced? "

Zhao Mingkun first nodded, but then shook her head, "Think about it. If those people did this, why did they kill Hu Pei in this way? Wu Zui must be doing something big now. Conspiracy, I'm afraid he doesn't have the mood to kill. "

After being silent for a moment,

I said again: "But isn't Wu Zui such a person, someone who likes to see other people's pain, likes to play around with other people's minds, and doesn't like to use conventional methods to kill people. He is a person who enjoys the process of killing, isn't he? Isn't that so? "

Zhao Mingkun nodded and took out another mobile phone. She flipped through her phone and said, "Look here."

I leaned down and looked at the phone. This is a 5.5-inch mobile phone, and the screen protector is a temple. Judging from this picture, the temple is glowing with yellow light, and it looks like the Buddha's light is shining. For a while, the big golden Buddha in the middle of the temple has kind eyes, which looks reassuring.

"You say." Zhao Mingkun said, "Why does a person use such a big Buddha as a screen protector?"

I looked at this Buddha and said, "I'm a Buddhist, or I'm afraid of something."

Zhao Mingkun snapped her fingers and said, "Yes, it's exactly like what you said. Look back at the door frame and see what's there. "

I turned around and saw a yellow talisman on the door frame of the entrance. Unknown words were written in Cinnabar on the talisman paper, which seemed to have a sense of majesty at first glance. Isn't this a Taoist talisman paper? It must be posted on the door to keep the house safe.

Zhao Mingkun took out another cross from his pocket, and she said, "It's made of silver."

I shrugged and said, "It's interesting. If a person has collected so many religious tools to ward off evil spirits and ghosts, think how scared this person should be in his heart. Then, why is he so afraid of ghosts? "

"Don't do bad things. Don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door." Zhao Mingkun said, "Sometimes, these people are really interesting. These people believe in religion, never thinking about what they can do for the Lord, but thinking about what the Lord can do for them. What can the Creator do for them? When things go wrong, they pray to God, and when things go well, they put them aside. "

I shrugged: "Since he is so scared, it means that something strange must have happened recently, otherwise, he would not have been scared to death like this."

Zhao Mingkun shrugged like me, and said to me, "Come here, let me show you something fun."

I followed Zhao Mingkun into the kitchen. Zhao Mingkun found some flour from the kitchen and sprinkled it evenly on the phone screen. Then, she blew hard, and the flour was blown away immediately, but some of the flour was left on the phone. These flours stuck to the mobile phone, and it could be seen that it showed an irregular polka dot trace.

Zhao Mingkun opened the unlocking screen, and then said: "See, these four places are often touched by him. It can be seen that this person is a mobile phone control, and even if there is nothing to do, he will habitually unlock it. There are four numbers in total. Do you know how many permutations there are? "

I shook my head.

Zhao Mingkun said, "What have you been doing in high school?"

"Dating?" I said with a smile.

Zhao Mingkun said: "The permutation and combination of four numbers, that is, the factorial of four, is a total of twenty-four kinds. I just looked at his ID card. If there are six numbers, the birthday may match, but the mobile phone may not. So the unlock code is four numbers, so it's not a birthday. "

(T/N: Perhaps I should have paid more attention in high school. Too bad I didn't, so this is an alien language to me.)

I frowned and said, "I don't know if this kind of phone has unlock restrictions, but in general, it can be wrong up to two times. Otherwise, we'll have to wait a long time to unlock it again. Don't we take the phone away? ?"

Zhao Mingkun shook her head and said, "You can't keep mobile phone with you. It's the easiest way to expose yourself. In Xingdong Village, we have already attracted the attention of the police, and they will definitely increase their efforts to investigate us. "

After that, Zhao Mingkun grabbed the phone with one hand and said, "Let's assume this person is not left-handed and usually holds the phone with his right hand. Then, according to people's comfortable habits, the first number should be on the left. You see, there's only one number on the left. "

After all, Zhao Mingkun pressed the number seven first.

"There are still six kinds of permutations left, which are obviously much fewer." Zhao Mingkun tried one time after another, but found that both times were unsuccessful. At this time, the mobile phone also reminded us that we only had one chance.

Zhao Mingkun looked at me and said, "It's the last time, try it?"

"Try it," I suggested.

Zhao Mingkun nodded and made a final attempt.

For a moment, the screen lights up.

But when we saw this photo, we were all taken aback. It was a corpse, a corpse lying in the distance. Looking at the background of the picture, it looks like a construction site is under construction. The corpse was far away, and it could only be seen that it was a fragmented corpse. Her limbs seemed to be lumpy, and her head could not be clearly seen.

Zhao Mingkun and I looked at the picture carefully, but at that moment, a woman's head suddenly appeared on the screen at close range, accompanied by a harsh scream.

Zhao Mingkun and I were both taken aback. I saw her hand tremble and she almost dropped her phone on the ground. At that moment, my heart was thumping, and I only felt my scalp tingling and my whole body numb. You can imagine, when you are concentrating on looking at something, the sudden horror pictures and sounds make me feel like my heart stops beating.

"I know how he died." Zhao Mingkun said, "I have some lingering fears when I look at the pictures."

I took a few deep breaths and looked at the picture again. Judging from the picture, the woman's face was covered in blood, and her eyes were even gouged out. The eye sockets of the two black holes look extremely deep, and it seems that they will be unforgettable for a long time after seeing them. It can be seen that this is a real human head, not a synthetic PS specially used to scare people.

"No, he wasn't scared to death by the pictures on his phone," I said.

"No?" Zhao Mingkun asked me suspiciously.

I nodded, looked at the picture, and said, "His mobile phone was in his pocket at the time, and you took it out of his pocket. If he was frightened to death by the picture of the mobile phone, how could he put it in his pocket? Pocket. So, he wasn't scared to death by this photo. The stuff that scared him, and something else. "

I continued, "In other words, the murderer set up a lot of scary things, and even if he wasn't scared to death by those things, he would be scared to death by this photo. Who the hell has such a big grudge against him? And who is this woman whose eyes were gouged out in the photo? "
