It was already three in the morning when Shi Dazhuang received the call.
He washed his face in a hurry, rushed out of the house and called captain sun of the security team.
Prostitution and whoring are managed by the public security team, and the criminal investigation team generally does not intervene. But this case is unusual. Some people use the mind control law to organize prostitution, and are suspected of kidnapping and illegal restriction of personal freedom. The most important thing is that there has been a homicide, although it has not been determined whether it is murder.
He drove all the way and assigned tasks by telephone all the way. When I called Hu Xing, I rang a few times and didn't answer. He thought about it. It's not easy for a rich man to be a criminal policeman, so he didn't fight again.
At Chunyue garden, Shi Dazhuang showed his certificate and entered row 11. In addition to the people from the police station, several criminal police members who lived nearby have also arrived.
At a glance, he saw Qingmu sitting in the living room to receive inquiries.
"Mr. Aoki!" Shi Dazhuang went over to say hello, and then asked, "what's going on?"
The team member who had arrived in advance replied: "well, a singing girl in the bar where Mr. Aoki is located disappeared. The bar landlady and the waiter found here and were illegally detained. Mr. Aoki called the police and found here together with the comrades of the police station."
"That's right." the police officer of the police station who was taking notes added, "when we arrived, they -" he pointed to the two women sitting next to them, "were tied in the room, and he -" he pointed to a young man lying on the sofa, "he was a bar waiter, lying on the ground in the next room, in a coma."
"Who's dead?" Shi Dazhuang asked.
"Oh, it's a pimp. Forensic Chen has come. It's upstairs," said the policeman.
Shi Dazhuang said sorry to Aoki and hurried upstairs.
In the middle hall on the second floor, the police of the police station also took notes of a young woman shivering in her pajamas. Most of the criminal investigation team are in the room.
On the bed in the room lay the body of a naked man. Chen Jianzhong, the medical examiner, was making a detailed examination of the body. When he saw Shi Dazhuang coming in, he stood up and shook his head and said, "it should be sudden death. I have to go back to the team to confirm the details."
Shi Dazhuang nodded, patted Chen Jianzhong on the shoulder and said, "it's hard!"
Chen Jianzhong smiled and said nothing. I've been used to being a forensic doctor for so many years.
Other officers of the Criminal Investigation Detachment also arrived one after another. On the basis of the police station, they conducted supplementary investigation and evidence collection on the scene, and the work was carried out in an orderly manner.
Shi Dazhuang then went to the hidden hall on the first floor and frowned at a big mirror.
The mirror is more than one person high and two people wide. Both sides are mirrors. The space between the mirrors is about two meters. An eight trigrams array is arranged in the whole hall, which is not in the shape of the eight trigrams array. Shi Dazhuang counted twelve sides.
He walked around the mirrors and found some strange mirrors. He could see many overlapping images in the mirror, some of which seemed distorted. He knows that this is the optical principle. It must be caused by the angle of the mirror or the unevenness of the mirror. But in the middle of the night, it was still uncomfortable to see such an image. He felt a little dizzy, his chest was stuffy, and his breathing was not smooth.
His attention was on the mirror, and there was a sudden "clack" under his feet, as if he had stepped on something. When he looked down and saw many broken glass, he found that a mirror on the side had been broken, leaving only an empty frame.
The feeling of dizziness disappeared and breathing became smooth.
He reached out and pushed the edge of one of the mirrors. The mirror rotated along the fulcrum in the middle of the ground, like the revolving door at the door of a hotel.
"Report to the Bureau and ask the provincial department to dispatch experts in mind control." Shi Dazhuang said, looking at the changing mirror in the slowly rotating mirror.
……
After tossing around all night, Shi Dazhuang returned to the office and rested in his chair while combing the case in his mind. This is a habit he has developed over the years. No matter complex or simple, he will calm down and sort out the context of the case when he comes back from the scene.
The deceased's name was Liang Kai, a native of Wuzhong. He once entered the detention center for gambling and pimping. The temporary hostess of the townhouse is Li Qian, a student of the Conservatory of music. She and the victim Mo Yu are roommates in the same dormitory.
According to Li Qian, she met Liang Kai when she worked in a nightclub. They conspired to do a pimping business. Liang Kai was responsible for finding customers, while Li Qian was responsible for finding beautiful female students in conservatory of music and art school who were willing to sell their looks for money.
Later, Li Qian met a man named situ and learned some simple hypnosis. The mirror maze in that row house was designed by situ for her. She controlled some female students through hypnosis and mirror maze.
At first, they only earned some commissions by pimping. Later, they found that after the female students were controlled, they didn't know what they had done. She and Liang Kai simply swallowed all the money from the prostitution of the girls.
Mo Yu is also one of the girls they control, but according to Li Qian, her hypnosis of Mo Yu is not very successful. She must come back every night to strengthen it, and then Liang Kai will send her to the customer.
That day, someone asked Mo Yu to go to the bar to sing and save the scene. Li Qian agreed for fear of causing doubt. Anyway, as long as she came back before 12 o'clock, there was an accident.
Shi Dazhuang knows something about this. Aoki once asked him about the possibility that the singing girl in their bar might be under mental control. Let them help check Li Qian and a man named situ. Shi Dazhuang helped with the investigation because of his friend's face, but to be honest, he didn't pay much attention to it.
After Mo Yu learned that he was controlled prostitution, he went back to Li Qian for theory. As a result, he was controlled again. Fortunately, the barmaid and the waiter looked for it.
About what happened later, Li Qian's confession was a little confused. For a moment, she said that they tied Mo Yu and lifelong flowers and sent them to the customer. For a moment, she said that Liang Kai was killed by a thug sent by the customer. But the fact of the scene was that the two women were tied in the storage room downstairs. When the police arrived, they had been saved by Aoki, and Liang Kai died in Li Qian's bed.
Although Li Qian's foreword doesn't match the Afterword, the whole process of the incident has been very clear through the statements of Aoki, Mo Yu, the hostess of the bar and the waiter who woke up in a coma in the early morning.
There are only two things that are not clear.
The first is the cause of Liang Kai's death. Sudden death or homicide?
Second, what's wrong with the twelve mirrors? Who is that situ?
Experts from the provincial department estimate that they will arrive at least tomorrow. The autopsy report of Chen Jianzhong should come out today.
There are those girls who are controlled to engage in prostitution. I don't know when they will all be recovered. Although Li Qian is the organizer, Liang Kai found all the customers. Now that Liang Kai is dead, he can only check it slowly from his mobile phone contact.
If Liang Kai's death was a homicide, then things would be complicated!
