The mobile phone number is empty.

Autumn night, the sky is gloomy, and all kinds of Nocturnal Animals and grass insects keep singing, adding a little vitality and fear to the silent mountain village. ...

Late at night, Gu Xiang has fallen asleep. Suddenly, the cell phone beside my pillow rang. She shouted, "Who * * * calls a dying person in the middle of the night? ! "

Then, in a daze, she grabbed the phone and answered it without looking at the number: "Gu Xiang, I was killed in a cave in the back hill ..." She was so frightened that she immediately cut it off and threw away the phone. But * * * rang again, and she picked up the phone and glanced at the phone number, scared out of her wits. It turned out to be her husband Wang Ling, who repeated the gloomy and fearful voice: "Gu Xiang, I was killed ..." She was even more nervous and scared, and she was sleepy.

After a little calmness, she called back according to the incoming number, but she was even more shocked: "The number you dialed does not exist, please verify it and dial again!"

She was puzzled: "It was clearly sent by Wang Ling just now, how did it suddenly become an empty number?" She dialed twice again, and it was the same. She fell into deep fear and stayed up all night.

She immediately called the police.

In the early morning, a police car roared past, and the siren cut through the silent mountain village. Three policemen immediately got off the bus and went straight to Gu Xiang's house. When the villagers heard the siren, they estimated that something had happened and rushed over to watch the excitement without breakfast.

The police began to investigate.

First, I asked about the basic situation of her husband Wang Ling. Wang Ling works in Shenzhen and seldom goes home. He came back half a month ago, stayed only three days and left.

Then, the police checked Gu Xiang's mobile phone call records: two calls on July 28th: 1: 23: 35 and 23: 51; Call three times: 40 minutes, 15 seconds, 18 seconds, 27 seconds respectively. This is true with what Gu Xiang said, but the content of the call cannot be confirmed. Although I was dubious about her husband Wang Ling's murder, I decided to go to the cave in the back hill to see the truth. So, let Gu Xiang lead the way.

The mountains are steep, the roads are rugged and the steps are difficult.

Gu Xiang was so tired that she was out of breath that she had to stop and go and give her a hand when she was in danger.

This mountain is called "Monkey Ping", with vast forests, lush vegetation and towering dangerous rocks on the ridge. The cave mentioned by Gu Xiang is just under the dangerous rock.

Near the cave, I can smell a pungent smell in the distance. With professional sensitivity, the police concluded that it smelled of carrion. When I entered the cave, I found a highly decomposed body beyond recognition, with maggots tumbling, ants crawling around and flies flying around. ...

The villagers were afraid to enter the cave, so they had to stand outside the cave and stand by.

There is a blue canvas bag next to the body, which contains a change of clothes and a mobile phone. The mobile phone is dead and can't be turned on. Gu Xiang saw the clothes worn by the body and the items in the bag, and determined that he was her husband Wang Ling. She was in tears: "You just left? ! ……"

The police inspected the scene, took photos, then wrapped the body with plastic sheets, put the relics on the scene into material evidence bags and brought them back to the police station for inspection.

When preparing to evacuate, the police entered the cave again and searched carefully to see if there were other missing physical evidence and clues. As expected, a policeman found five scattered cigarette butts in a corner deep in the cave and put them in a relic bag.

There are seven or eight people sitting in the small conference room of the county public security bureau, and a forensic meeting is being held.

The first is the criminal investigation battalion chief Zhang Xuanhua report analysis "7. The results of the inquest of "28 murders".

1. According to forensic identification, Wang Ling died between July 20th and 23rd. Although the corpse is highly decomposed, there is an obvious oval hole in the left chest and neck, which should be caused by sharp instruments. It shows that the deceased Wang Ling was killed with a knife.

There is a pack of "Red N" cigarettes in the pocket of the deceased, which is the same brand as the cigarette butts left at the scene. This shows that the victim was killed after smoking five cigarettes. It can be inferred that this should be the first scene, but there are no traces of blood and struggle on the scene, and the footprints are only those of the deceased, so it cannot be supported that this is the first scene. Of course, this does not rule out that the murderer may clean up these "traces".

Judging from what Gu Xiang said and the relics of the deceased, Wang Ling should have returned to Shenzhen, and he should have enough money on him, but he didn't find his wallet or cash. This is most likely a murder for money. The murderer killed it and took its cash.

4, mobile phone calls are very embarrassing. First, the mobile phone left at the scene is turned on, and any call made with this machine will display "Unable to connect"; Dialing the card number of this machine with other phones-the number of Wang Ling, the husband provided by Gu Xiang, all prompts: "The number you dialed does not exist, please check it and dial again!" And the operator can't find the details of the cardholder. There is no proof that the owner of this machine is Wang Ling. Secondly, Gu Xiang said that on July 28th 1: 23, there were two "midnight calls" and subsequent "call back", but the "call record" of this time period did not show "incoming calls" and "missed calls". Of course, it is also possible that the owner deleted it. Third, Gu Xiang called back the card number at that time, indicating that the' empty number' is consistent with the detection result of the local card number, indicating that the local card number does not exist. However, from the "call record" provided by the operator, it was found that the machine card number did call her twice, and it could not be confirmed that the machine card number was "empty".

The content of Gu Xiang's "Midnight Phone Call" can't prove its authenticity, but the cause of death she provided is clear, the location is accurate, and the scene looks different. It doesn't rule out that she is lying.

Finally, Deputy Director Yi Lee said, "These are just clues, with no rules to follow and many contradictions. Who is the real murderer? What was the murder weapon? Where is the first scene? Especially this' midnight call' owner and Wang Ling's card number are very strange. What's the problem? Further investigation is needed. " He took a sip of tea and continued: "In view of the high degree of decomposition of the body, it is not suitable for long-term preservation. The forensic doctor will check it carefully and not miss any clues, then cremate it and temporarily store it in the funeral home. Interpol soldiers are divided into three ways: the first way focuses on the relationship between Wang Ling and Gu Xiang and their background exchanges; Extensive investigation of suspects, all the way to find the first murder scene; Continue to track the owner information of the mobile phone all the way.

According to the survey, Wang Ling has been working in Dongguan for more than ten years and seldom goes home. He didn't make enemies with others, and there was no economic dispute. Most of the locals worked outside. Except for Yang Shaodong, the village director, and several old people, there were no young men at home, which ruled out others committing crimes. Gu Xiangyuan also worked with her husband. Later, because of a recurrence of heart disease, she went home to live for five or six years. She has been living alone, living in seclusion and having a good relationship with her husband.

According to the villagers, Yang Shaodong often went to Gu Xiang's home, and there were rumors that they were "having an affair". Gu Xiang can tell where Wang Ling was killed. Although she was notified by a "midnight phone call", the content was not tested and she looked different at the scene. Therefore, Gu Xiang had an affair with Yang Shaodong, and their suspicion of conspiring to kill the tomb rose.

However, after repeated interrogation, Gu Xiang was timid and had a serious heart disease. Husband and wife have a good relationship and have no motivation to find a husband. Although Yang Shaodong, the village director, often goes to Gu Xiang's house, he always brings her things because Gu Xiang is not convenient to attend the scene. Yang Shaodong often passes by her house and asks Yang Shaodong to help her buy things, but he usually gives them to her at the door and doesn't come into the house. From this point of view, the suspected evidence of a serial murderer is insufficient.

The case was deadlocked for some time.

At this time, Tongcun Lu reported to the police station on August 12: "His son Lu Bing is missing."

Road soldiers have been building in Shanxi. Twenty days ago, I saw my wife Liu Mei was ill, so I called Lu Bing back. When Lu Bing received the phone call, he said that he should have gone home long ago, but he was missing for more than ten days. He turned off his cell phone several times. Later, I called his colleague, and his colleague said that he left on July 18, and he hasn't come home yet, but his mobile phone still can't get through.

The police asked Lu Bing's boss and colleagues that there was no other clue except that he borrowed 5000 yuan from his boss, resigned 1 month and left on 18. Check the phone records. The last time I talked to a 136 ... 29 in this city on July 9, 33 seconds, I checked that the owner was from Jiangxi, but this person kept turning off his phone, so I couldn't know his relationship with Lu Bing and the content of the conversation. Other than that, there is no clue.

This is another unsolved case. ?

The police decided to combine the two cases for investigation.

Wang Ling died between July 20th and 23rd; Lu Bing disappeared after July of 18. Is there a connection between the two? Could it be that he or the mysterious Jiangxi man came back to kill Wang Ling and ran away? But although he and the deceased lived in the same village, they were not in the same group and did not work in the same place. Usually, they have no contact and no enmity. He has no motive for committing a crime.

The police decided to start with the "phone records" of the two men and continue to check forward to see if there can be a breakthrough. But the deceased Wang Ling and the missing Liu Bing have no telephone records, which proves that they have no telephone contact. Lu Bing talked with a number "133" ... 69 "for 5 seconds at 2: 00 on July 2 1 day, and found that the number was Yang Shaodong, the village director.

This case has taken a major turn.

When I asked Yang Shaodong, I realized that he and his wife went to live in the street that night, because he opened a shop selling agricultural materials in the town and was on the scene the next day, so as to get up early and be busy with business. Late at night, he slept in a daze and suddenly received a threatening phone call: "I'll come back to pick you up!" " "Then the other party hangs up the phone. At first glance, he is not familiar with this number, and he has received similar calls before, so he didn't care. Village cadres offend some people, and it is inevitable that some people deliberately play pranks.

Another "midnight call!" The police were puzzled, but it also proved that Lu Bing had come back and should have disappeared after the early hours of July 2 1. When asked about his relationship with Lu Bing, Yang Shaodong talked about this in Kan Kan. He said that he had no contact, no contact and no hostility with Lu Bing. But when asked some sensitive questions, such as whether he was in contact with Lu Bing's wife, he deliberately changed the subject or avoided talking about it. There must be something hidden in this. It seems that Lu Bing has disappeared, and he is a major suspect.

At this time, the peripheral police found dried blood on the back wall of Yang Shaodong's house, and found a package in his woodshed, which contained a mobile phone, some clothes and two clothes with blood. The wives of Jing Lu and Lu Bing identified the mobile phone and clothes as Lu Bing's.

According to the identification of physical evidence, the bloodstained clothes and blood on the wall are related to Lu Bing's father, which means that the bloodstained clothes and blood belong to the missing person Lu Bing. Lu Bing may be killed!

Yang Shaodong was summoned to the public security bureau for trial. However, according to his account, he and Lu Bing's wife Liu Mei had a * * *: "In June this year, I went to their team to implement returning farmland to forests and had lunch at her house. She asked for some from her home. Then, she took the initiative to seduce me, but only that time, and then there was no contact. With this incident, I can't kill Lu Bing. "

"What's with this package?" The police showed the physical evidence again: "What do you say about the fingerprints on the mobile phone and the blood on the wall?"

Yang Shaodong was surprised at first, and then soon calmed down: "I found that parcel when I went to the woodshed to collect firewood a few days ago. When I opened it, I found two bloody clothes, some clean clothes and a mobile phone. Although I didn't know these were all Lu Bing's, they were all gone at that time. I realize that this may be related to the disappearance of Lu Bing, but I dare not take the initiative to hand them over for fear of getting burned. I think that mobile phone is very new and fashionable, but I can't use it or dare to use it, but I can't bear to throw it away, so I put it back in the package and hid it. I plan to use it after the wind blows. " He paused, looking innocent, and said, "As for the blood on the wall, I really don't know. I haven't found it. "

His "confession" is reasonable and watertight, and Lu Bing's body has never been found, so we can't confirm that Lu Bing was killed, let alone that he is the murderer.

The case was once again deadlocked. ?

seven

When I was at a loss. The police found frequent calls with the same number from the phone records of Wang Ling and Lu Bing before July 18. Upon investigation, the holder of this card number was none other than Liu Mei, the wife of Lu Bing. Strangely enough, Lu Bing and Liu Mei talked until July 18, and they lost contact from then on; And the card number of the deceased Wang Ling, that is, the "empty number", was recently talking to Liu Mei. This shows that Liu Mei has been in contact with the tomb and continued to do so after his death. It can be inferred that Lu Bing is really missing and may even be killed. And Wang Ling seems to be "resurrected", even not dead at all.

The police decided to secretly investigate Liu Mei and expand the search for the murderer's hiding place.

Soon, Uncle Lu reported the case: "Last night, I went to the toilet to relieve myself and found a man sneaking around in front of the house. I looked at it with my flashlight. It looked like Lu Bing, but it was not exact. I chased and shouted, but he said nothing and quickly disappeared into the night. "

Almost at the same time, Gu Xiang also reported to the police: "Last night, I heard something moving in the room, got up to check, and suddenly found a figure passing by outside the window, it was Ling. I was so scared that I quickly closed the window and got into bed. After a while, the phone suddenly rang again. I answered it with the same horrible voice:' Gu Xiang, I'm a ghost and I won't let you go!' "

Two "ghosts" appeared in the same night-one was a missing person and the other was a dead person. But it seems impossible. If both of them are still alive, whose body is it?

"Yes, compare dna." Zhang Xuanhua, the captain of Interpol, suddenly had a brainwave. He patted the table and said, "Why don't you compare Wang Ling's corpse sample with Lu Bing's blood now?" Originally, because Wang Ling's parents had passed away and his son went to school in other places, there was a lack of comparative samples, so no testing was conducted.

The test results show that this body is indeed a Lu soldier, not a tomb.

Li Yi, deputy director, patted his head and suddenly said, "We were led by the nose by the murderer, and now it's our turn to attack." Then, he waved and said, "Go and catch the real murderer!"

As night fell, the police car suddenly stopped at the crime section. A young policeman asked, "Li Bureau, are you sure?" But he sold it: "You will know then!"

After a while, the intercom came: "Falcon, Falcon, this is No.2, the target appears!" " "Yi Li replied:" I am a falcon, keep an eye on it, don't startle; "No.3 abandoned this place and assembled on No.2, where we will go."

By the dim moonlight, everyone moved forward quickly, quietly walked to the door of Liu Bing's house, then knocked on the door of Liu Mei's house, captured Wang Ling from the bed and took him back to the police station.

They refused to talk. And Wang Ling is also very cunning, and roared, "You are trespassing and killing innocent people. What law have we broken? ! "Then I kept silent and didn't care.

"Then don't say it, I'll say it!" Zhang Xuanhua snapped, "You two conspired to kill Lu Bing, then reincarnated and had sex in private."

"This is a dirty lie." Wang Ling said angrily, "What evidence is there?"

"Fruit knives, bloodstained clothes, blood stains ..." Zhang Xuanhua said, and presented relevant physical evidence one by one: "There are also mobile phones and cigarette butts."

"Hum, only these can prove that I killed Lu Bing?" Wang Ling was surprised at first, then quickly calmed down and sneered disdainfully: "What nonsense!"

"Don't get excited. Moreover, through careful investigation, we have also mastered your motives for committing crimes and a large number of witness material evidence. " The captain of Interpol stared at the two men closely with sharp eyes and said, "Listen to me and tell you slowly." ...

"You and Liu Mei used to work in Shenzhen. Soon, you can't stand loneliness and start sneaking around having an affair. Later, for convenience-not sleeping with colleagues and saving money-they didn't go to the hotel to open a room, so they conspired to rent a house and lived together in the suburbs. Earlier this year, Lu Bing asked Liu Mei to quit his job and go home to take care of his father. They are inseparable and can only talk by phone. This is why you two talked frequently from February to early July this year, and the talk time was long, mostly more than half an hour. "

"After all, water is far away and water is near thirsty, so wireless communication is difficult. The tomb asked for leave to go home, nominally to visit his wife Gu Xiang, but in fact he met Liu Mei in secret. So, go home for three days and pretend to come back. In fact, you didn't leave, but secretly hid in an abandoned house in the mountains during the day, eating instant noodles, eating cakes and drinking mineral water. " Zhang Xuanhua immediately took out the instant noodle box, pastry bag and mineral water bottle and said, "These are all the foods you have used. Wait until the dead of night, then go out to play with Liu Mei. " ?

"Can I judge that I am a murderer and a thief only by these wastes?" Wang Ling looked up and retorted, "I'm afraid your reasoning is too far-fetched!"

"Don't worry, of course we will be confident and convince you!" Interpol captain continued: "Your cheating behavior was discovered by Liu Mei's father-in-law, but it was inconvenient for him to tell Liu Mei that he was out of line, so he secretly called Liu Bing back on the grounds that Liu Mei was ill. Liu Bing called Liu Mei to verify this matter. Liu Mei really felt unwell, so it was inconvenient to deny and refuse Lu Bing to go home. This is the last call between Lu Bing and Liu Mei on July 18, 2008, with only 30 seconds. Liu Mei knew that Liu Bing was coming back, so he told you about it. When he calculated the time, it was estimated that he entered the house around July 20.

"Who knows, 2 1 That night, when you went to Liu Mei, you suddenly met Lu Bing on the road behind Yang Shaodong, the village director. You push it down with your hands and roll it into the gutter behind Yang Shaodong's house. It happened that Yang Shaodong and his wife were not at home that night. Look at his house. There is no movement at all. Liu Bing is still in pain. If you go down and see that he is not dead, don't stop, use the fruit knife you carry with you-that is, when you were caught last night, you took it out of your waist and stabbed him twice in his left chest and neck, and he was killed immediately. There was a heavy rain that night, which washed away the blood and footprints at the scene, but you neglected to wipe off the blood spattered on the wall, and there was Lu Bing's blood in your knife slot.

"Then, you will move the body to the cave behind your house and hide it. You are in a cave and don't know what to do with the body. Plus, it's raining heavily outside, and you're scared and bored, so you smoke in the corner of the cave, but you forget to get rid of five cigarette butts. This is the same brand as the cigarette butts in your abandoned house in the mountains and Liu Mei's room, and the saliva on the cigarette butts is exactly the same.

"In this process, you turned over Lu Bing's bag and took his 5000 yuan as your own. Because of the money in the wallet, there are some Lu Bing and your fingerprints on the surface.

"Later, it suddenly occurred to you that Yang Shaodong, the village director, was having an affair with your wife Guxiang and your beloved Liu Mei, so you held a grudge against Yang Shaodong. Therefore, you deliberately made a threatening phone call to Yang Shaodong with Lu Bing's mobile phone.

"Next, you have a substitute stealthily, take off Liu Bing's bloody clothes and put them in his bag; Take off your bloody clothes and put them on the soldiers. Then he took out a suit from the soldier's bag and put it on himself. Then, you deliberately left your bag and mobile phone at the scene, faking the illusion that you were killed to distract the police.

"After the rain stopped, you secretly hid Lu Bing's package in the woodshed of Yang Shaodong, the village director, and deliberately framed Yang Shaodong for killing Lu Bing.

"Actually, I don't want to kill him." Wang Ling bowed his head and said, "I just saw him come back, so I couldn't see Liu Mei, so I pushed him in a rage. Who knows, he fell off the ridge and hurt himself, but he was worried that he would recognize me and stabbed him twice in desperation. "

"You not only killed Lu Bing, but also premeditated to kill your wife Gu Xiang." Interpol captain (turn: "You dislike your family's illness, which has become a drag on you. You have long wanted to divorce her and then stay with Liu Mei, but she has never divorced. You want to get rid of her, but you can't. Later, you went to consult a doctor and learned that people with heart disease can't stand excitement. Besides, you know Gu Xiang is timid by nature and can't stand threats. So, you deliberately threatened her with' midnight' and' ghosts' to scare her to death or commit suicide. "

"I left my mobile phone at the scene. How could I call her in the middle of the night and threaten her? " Wang Ling quibbled: "Did you find no evidence and deliberately make up stories?"

"I'm not speculating out of thin air, but I have something to prove it." The captain of Interpol took out a stack of call lists and the proof of changing the number of the mobile business hall, saying, "You left your mobile phone in the cave and sneaked into the mobile business hall in the county, and changed the card to keep the original number on the grounds that the mobile phone was stolen. Then, you went to the mobile phone repair shop and downloaded a * *: "The number you dialed does not exist, please check it and dial again". That's why the mobile phone you left at the scene can't be dialed. When you call in, you will be prompted' No number'. Later, we found that you were still using this card number to contact Liu Mei after being "killed". This aroused our suspicion, so we tried again. Although dialing your phone still prompts "No number", as long as you wait a little longer, you will naturally get through, or prompt "No answer". This proves that your mobile phone is not available and you are not dead. "

"You sneaked back to your hometown, hid in the mountains, went to Liu Mei at night, but didn't know that you were discovered by your father-in-law and secretly called the police; When you saw that Gu Xiang was not dead, you continued to play tricks and threaten him at midnight. Who knows, if you are really smart, you will be fooled by cleverness and expose your whereabouts. We sent someone to spy on you, waiting for an opportunity, and finally caught you. "

Wang Ling bowed his head, put his hand over his cheek, and was speechless; Liu Mei gave Wang Ling a squint, and tears of fear and regret overflowed his eyes. ...
