Chapter 249: Mad Woman

Zhao Mingkun looked at the phone again and said, "There is a line of words here."

I looked, and sure enough, next to the woman's head, I saw a few bloody Chinese characters slowly appearing: "I'm back."

"Someone set up a programme on the phone?" Zhao Mingkun said, "Now that phone technology is getting smarter and more advanced, it shouldn't be difficult to be able to do this."

Zhao Mingkun's words suddenly reminded me, and I said, "Although the screen of this mobile phone is very large, it is not a smart phone. In other words, even if it is a smart phone, it is already obsolete. "

Hearing my words, Zhao Mingkun handed me the phone and said to me, "I don't know much about this."

I asked, "What phone do you use?"

Zhao Mingkun took out a small Nokia mobile phone. When she took out this mobile phone, I instantly felt that I was back in the 2000s. At that time, the mobile phone market was still dominated by Nokia. It can be seen that this mobile phone is very old. The numbers on the dial pad have been worn away. I don't know how many years it has been in use.

To my surprise, Zhao Mingkun said, "I can't use a mobile phone that has internet access. I heard that there are various software that now enables GPS positioning in the background, which is too dangerous. Besides, this mobile phone is very dangerous for me."

" It makes sense, but that's another story. "

"What?" Zhao Mingkun turned to me and asked, "What's wrong with this phone?"

I said, "What you just said reminds me that from the moment touch-screen mobile phones appeared, all mobile phone screens were resistive screens. In short, resistive screens need pressure. With the development of mobile phones, more touch Control has become a major demand for mobile phone users, so a higher-cost capacitive screen has been developed. Capacitive screens require current. "

Feeling Zhao Mingkun's doubts, I continued to explain: "If it is a capacitive screen, a human finger will form a coupling capacitor with the screen when touching the screen of a mobile phone. After all, there are magnetic fields and currents in the human body. With insulating gloves on, it is impossible to operate. "

(T/N: oh oh oooh?, I still don't get it?)

"How do you know this?" Zhao Mingkun asked, as if she couldn't believe that a person who didn't even know what factorial was, would know this kind of knowledge.

I pointed to my brain and said, "Memory and observation. I have seen it in a certain book. "

(T/N: Maybe you shouldn't have asked)

"What does this mean?" Zhao Mingkun looked at me.

I said, "This shows that this mobile phone is not Hu Pei's. Look at the home furnishings, Internet TV, tablet computers, and sports bracelets that are casually placed on the coffee table, and the sweeping robot by the wall. Pei is a person who understands electronic products. Besides, people who can buy a 120-square-meter house here, or even a householder who buys a sweeping robot, will definitely not be short of a thousand dollars to buy a smart phone with a capacitive screen. I flipped

through the correspondence on my phone, only to find that there was no one there. It's not really a smartphone, though, and trying to install a scary programme on a non-smartphone seems a bit difficult.

" If this mobile phone is not Hu Pei's, then Hu Pei's own mobile phone has no other possibility than being taken away by the murderer. "

Zhao Mingkun continued my words and said, "From the perspective of the mobile phone screen protector, it seems like Hu Pei's style. Then,there is only one possibility. This mobile phone is not for Hu Pei, but for people who will see the body. Obviously, the murderer must not have thought that we saw the mobile phone first. "

Thinking of this, I locked the screen of my phone and opened it again. After a while, the scream came out again.

I said, "It's certain, this phone is not Hu Pei's. If you want to design such a program,on such a non-smart phone, you must manipulate the phone system program. Furthermore, from this phone,judging from the degree of screen wear, it has been a certain number of years. Even if it is not as old as your Nokia, it is estimated that it must be four or five years old. "

" In addition, "I shook the phone and said slowly, "There is not a single person on the contact list, but we did not find the second phone. As you said, Hu Pei's phone was taken away by the murderer."

" So, is there anything in Hu Pei's phone that the murderer cares about?" Zhao Mingkun asked.

"There are four words on the screen: I'm back," I said. "There will be death."

(T/N: four characters in original Chinese)

"That's right." Zhao Mingkun said, "We have to find her."

I frowned. "Who?"

Zhao Mingkun turned around and pointed. From the kitchen, I could just see a bedroom, on the wall of the bedroom, there was a family portrait hanging there. There were three members of the family, and the youngest daughter was about seven or eight years old.

I suddenly thought of a very strange thing. When we found the body, the deceased had been dead for six hours.

But during these six hours, the door was left open, and the corpse was still lying on the ground, which means that during these six hours, no one came. This is really not normal. And now it is around twelve noon. That is to say, the deceased died at least before six in the morning. At that time, it was abnormal to not have a mistress or children at home.

So, where did the mistress and the child go?

Zhao Mingkun wiped the screen of his mobile phone with the cloth he carried with him, then walked out of the room and put the mobile phone back into the pocket of the deceased, and then he said to me, "I think the first thing we need to do now is to find his wife and child."

I said, "If you can find them, you might know what Hu Pei is afraid of."

"Just." I looked at the corpse and said, "Where are we going to find them?"

Zhao Mingkun pointed at her head and raised her eyebrows at me: "I saw his ID card just now, and it's different from the address here. It's just that the address is also in Dongxing City. Hu Pei's daughter should still be there. In elementary school, it is impossible to hide in the countryside. Therefore, they are likely to be there, and Hu Pei should have sent them there. "

I snapped my fingers and said, "That's right!"

Zhao Mingkun looked around the house again, and after confirming that there were no traces left, he said, "We have been delayed here for a long time. If your police colleague has any brains, the police are already here. We can't stay long. Let's go. "

I nodded.

Once again, I got on the motorcycle, and Zhao Mingkun took me to the address on Hu Pei's ID card.

"You say, Does this matter have anything to do with Wu Zui? " I hugged Zhao Mingkun and asked suspiciously.

Zhao Mingkun sighed and said, "You are asking me now, I'm not sure. But from that picture, there must be some old grudge. "

I agreed with Zhao Mingkun's point of view, and said, "Well, the resolution of that picture is not high. It can be seen that it was taken a long time ago. It's just that so many years have passed, and I don't know what the picture is. Who is this woman? If I was still the leader of the special action team, I could ask Sister Mary to check it out. Now, we can only rely on ourselves. "

Thinking of this, I asked, "Then tell me, whether we care about this matter or not."

Zhao Mingkun was silent for a moment, before he said: "Don't you already have the answer in your heart? Hu Pei is dead. Don't you have to find the design drawings from that year? I think, such a big place should be built by an engineering team, it cannot be built by one person."

I hummed,"Yes, the villagers didn't see any workers at all afterwards, which means that there must be other exits in the underground space. Check it out. Things have come to this stage anyway."

"Check it, quickly prove your innocence, and get out." Zhao Mingkun said in a low voice.

This place belongs on the edge of Dongxing City.

It seems that after Hu Pei made a lot of money as a designer, he bought a house in the centre of Dongxing City. When we got there, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. From last night to now, I have only drank half a cup of porridge, and my stomach is already growling with hunger

Zhao Mingkun put on a mask and went to a small shop to buy two breads and two bottles of mineral water: "Eat it. The police may not think of anything we can think of, so hurry up and ask after eating.Fortunately, you still have a police officer's card that has been invalidated. Otherwise, we will be in even more trouble. "

I opened my mouth and said, "The police investigation has a long set of procedures. I know this better than you. Their speed should not be as fast as ours. "

Zhao Mingkun sneered and said, "One of the most important points of escape is to never consider yourself the smartest."

While speaking, Zhao Mingkun had already stuffed the piece of bread in a few mouthfuls and said, "Let's go."

We came to this community, but it can't be called a community, because even the concierge doesn't know where it is, and I don't know if there is any property management here. And when we just walked downstairs and wanted to go upstairs, suddenly, a woman with dishevelled hair ran out of the building.

The woman charged straight towards the two of us, running and shouting, "Red, red, black, black." Haha, red, black, ghosts! That's a ghost! Ghosts! Here! The ghost is here! Haha! "

The woman who suddenly came out startled me, and I saw that she grabbed Zhao Mingkun's wrist tightly, and shouted: "Eyes, no eyes, she is standing, she is dead. There are ghosts, and I'm not sure what to call them.

Seeing that Zhao Mingkun was indifferent, the woman ran away while crying.

Zhao Mingkun frowned and looked back at the back of the woman leaving.

"Let's go." I said, "What are you still doing?"

Zhao Mingkun still looked at the woman's back and stood for a moment before following me upstairs.
