◎Chapter 38: Crossdresser

Professor Liang held an emergency press conference on the case, and all the police and joint defense team members in the town were summoned. Professor Liang told everyone: "The murder scene must be in the town. This judgment should be correct. The town is not big, so it will take us sooner or later to solve the case. The next work will be more difficult. First of all, the mayor should inform all residents not to wear red skirts or clothes in the near future. Although doing so will alarm the murderer, as policemen, in addition to solving the case, we should also try to avoid the tragedy again."

Bao Zhan said: "There are many doubts in this case, and we are waiting for us to investigate one by one and conduct in-depth investigation."

Professor Liang said: "Our special case team has sorted out ten doubts. If we solve these ten problems, the truth will be revealed."

Hualong said: "Please keep it confidential. If someone leaks the case, I will arrest him as soon as possible."

Su Mei said: "Who the murderer is will soon be revealed. Those who catch the murderer will receive commendation and rewards from their superiors."

There are ten doubts about the case compiled by the special case team.

First, three girls are missing. What can be confirmed at present is that Huanyu was killed. Are the other two girls already dead?

2. The three red skirts found in the river were covered with blood. In addition to Huan Yu, are the blood stains of the other two skirts consistent with the blood types of Mo Fei and Zhao Xianxian?

3. Zhao Xianxian disappeared three years ago. The incident has been confirmed in the local police's report records. The unsolved case has not been solved. So is Zhao Xianxian now pretending to be someone else, or is the real Zhao Xianxian returning to the old place after three years of disappearance?

4. Mo Fei and Zhao Xianxian disappeared at the same time. If the murderer was the same person, how could he control the two girls to rob him on the street?

5. The mouse eats Huanyu and eats a person, so many mice are needed. Where do so many mice come from?

Six, where is the first murder scene?

7. The suspects that have appeared include long-haired painter, veterinarian, middle-aged wretched uncle, blind old man and grandson, and some potential suspects are waiting for further investigation. For example, Huanyu's stepfather and Zhao Xianxian's parents, who is the most suspected of murder?

8. The murderer may have used some kind of drug, and it is also very likely that he has a cage or box. How did the murderer control the victim?

9. Where did Zhao Xianxian live? Three years ago, she came to the town to learn painting. Where did she live? Where did Zhao Xianxian live now?

Ten, the murderer put Huan Yu's bones into the jar. What is the significance of the jar to the murderer?

Professor Liang was assigned the work, and the mayor and the joint defense team members took action immediately.

The mayor led people to find the first murder scene. There were only so many residents in the town, and the murder scene might be hidden in a certain house. Professor Liang reminded the mayor to investigate the investigation work carefully, so that no one should be missed, and the household should not be missed. Focus on the attic, basement, cellar, sewer well and other hidden places. The mayor applied for a search warrant and carpet-style search for veterinary doctors and old blind men's homes.

There are many animal corpses buried in the veterinarian's yard. The veterinarian claimed that these animals died of illness and if thrown outside, it may cause diseases to pollute the environment. Therefore, he buried the animal corpses deep under the trees in his yard.

The blind old man's home was dilapidated. The old man relied on government relief to live. His grandson also dropped out of school early and worked in a pottery production shop in the town. His job was to dig dredge by the river to make pottery. The pottery store and studio location

On the same street, not far from the cross-stitch shop. Despite the difficulties in life, the grandfather and grandson have taken in many stray cats over the years. A few days before Zhao Xianxian disappeared, she and Mo Fei once brought an injured kitten to the blind old man's home.

The mayor saw in the household registration book that the blind old man's grandson was twenty years old, perhaps because of his malnutrition for many years, and this weak and melancholy boy looked like a minor.

The mayor and the joint defense team also visited the neighbors nearby, one of whom was hesitant and wanted to speak but stopped.

The mayor said, "This is a huge case. People from the central government have come. If you know the information and don't report it, think about the consequences."

The neighbor was a little scared and said something. On the night when Mo Fei and Zhao Xianxian disappeared, the neighbor heard the blind old man playing the erhu all the time, playing a song that he had never heard before. When the song was halfway through, the neighbor heard a shrill scream. The song paused for a while, and then rang again. The neighbor could not determine whether the scream came from the veterinarian's house or the blind old man's house.

The mayor reported this clue to the special case team. The special case team decided to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the blind old men and veterinarians, including their relatives, and should also focus on investigation.

The special case team found Zhao Xianxian's residence in the case file three years ago. The case file also records that Zhao Xianxian had undergone hymen repair surgery at that time. In terms of blood type comparison, it also matched the blood type on a skirt found in the river. This made the special case team tend to believe that Zhao Xianxian, who had been missing for three years, returned to the old place and went to the small town where she disappeared to study painting.

The reason for doing this is puzzling.

According to the case record, Zhao Xianxian lived in a courtyard near the studio three years ago, in the attic of a house, with a large ancient bed and a wooden pavilion window in the building. The yard below the attic was full of students studying painting and opera. Coincidentally, the long-haired painter in the studio currently lives in the attic where Zhao Xianxian lived.

The long-haired painter lives in simplicity and has no hobbies except painting. During the days without classes, he will stay in the attic all day and close himself, and no one knows what he is doing.

Bao Zhan and Hualong conducted a surprise inspection of the attic. Most of the rooms were worn out with wooden furniture, and even the walls were made of wooden structures. The attic was dark and the corners were covered with spider webs. Hualong found a nest of mice behind the closet. Many costumes in the chef were bitten. Bao Zhan found a sentence on the wall. This sentence was clearly carved on the wooden wall panel with some sharp weapon:

This time, if you leave me, you will not leave me again.

Bao Zhan took photos and collected evidence, and then asked coldly: "Who wrote this sentence?"

The long-haired painter replied lightly: "How do I know?"

Bao Zhan said: "Do your students like you? Are there anyone who has a crush on you? Do you like your students?"

The long-haired painter said: "The little girls like me and admire me, but there has never been a teacher-student relationship."

Bao Zhan asked: "Where does your student Zhao Xianxian live?"

Long-haired painter: "The student dormitory is downstairs, and Zhao Xianxian lives downstairs."

Bao Zhan asked: "I mean, do you know where Zhao Xianxian lived three years ago?"

Long-haired painter: "How did I know what happened three years ago? Did there be two Zhao Xianxian? I came to this town last year."

Bao Zhan said: "You are lying!"

Long-haired painter: "Okay, I was there three years ago, but

, At that time, I didn't live here, I was living with people."

Bao Zhan said, "Who?"

Long-haired painter: "Actor."

The long-haired painter has no impression of Zhao Xianxian three years ago. In order to clear his suspicion, he explained a privacy matter. Three years ago, he lived with someone else. The man was the woman who was performing in a teahouse, the woman who was stalking on the street by the middle-aged wretched uncle. What people don’t know is that in fact, this actor is a man. He has been disguising as a woman and living in this small town. The actor and the painter have been living together for three years. The painter wanted to end this inappropriate love, so the two separated.

Bao Zhan fell into thinking about the sentence on the wall. Later, after handwriting identification, this sentence was written by Zhao Xianxian a few days ago. Zhao Xianxian's paintings also attracted the attention of the special case team. Among those paintings, in addition to the scenery and still life, she only painted two people: one was herself, she stood by the river holding the jar; the other was the long-haired painter smoking, and the sketch of bowing her head and meditating.

There are also some sketches in Zhao Xianxian's landscape and still life paintings, some sketches of small town buildings, including the home of the blind old man and the yard of the veterinarian.

The special case team summoned the actors and asked by Professor Liang and Su Mei.

The actor wears women's clothes, has a faint perfume smell, and is coated with rouge, with red lips and white teeth. Whether it is appearance or voice, it is no different from a woman. Some homosexual women will deliberately dress themselves up as men, with the appearance exactly like men, and some men dress as women, and no one can tell. However, some "pseudo-women" are not homosexuals, but just some cross-dressing enthusiasts.

Su Mei: "I'd like to ask, should we treat you as a man or a woman?"

Actor: "Woman."

Professor Liang said: "We have investigated. The ID card you are using now is fake. We know your past identity."

The actor: "Oh, this is my personal freedom."

Su Mei: "Do you like being a woman? I noticed that you have an Adam's apple."

The actor: "I am a woman, and I have always been psychologically."

Professor Liang: "Do you usually go to men's toilet or women's toilet?"

Actor: "Women's restroom."

Professor Liang: "It is immoral to do this. Although you look like a woman and are very beautiful, your physiological characteristics are men."

The actor: "I didn't hurt anyone except myself."

Professor Liang: "Do you love that painter very much?"

The actor: "Well, I'm willing to kill someone for him."

Su Mei said: "At 8 pm on July 1st and 8 pm on July 15th, where are you?"

The actor: "I'm singing opera in the teahouse."

Professor Liang: "Do you know Zhao Xianxian? Zhao Xianxian who disappeared three years ago, and Zhao Xianxian who disappeared a few days ago."

The actor: "I met her. Three years ago, she learned opera from me. I like to sing opera. Do you want me to sing a passage for you?"

Professor Liang said: "Okay."

The actor looked out the window of the interrogation room and sang in a daze. His tone was beautiful and lingering. It turned out that the colorful flowers were blooming everywhere, and it seemed like they were all given to the broken wells and dilapidated walls. What are the beautiful scenery and the sky, and who is happy to enjoy the pleasures...
