Due to the excessive fright, Eamonn forgot to call the police for a while. When she realized it, it was already the next morning. Before she could take the initiative to call the police, the police knocked on her door. It turned out that the enthusiastic people who watched the live broadcast last night Fans quickly called the police the moment they discovered the dead person, and also disclosed the information about Eamonn, the only witness present, to the police.

When city A police officers investigated the scene, they found that the deceased’s face was covered with melon seeds and his mouth was stuffed with mahjong. Captain Wang, who had been a police officer for many years, had serious eyes. The death condition of the deceased was shockingly similar to that of the horrifying “Sunflower Case” a few years ago. Similar, but slightly different.

The "Sunflower Case" is also known as the "Serial Murder Case". The name of the case comes from the fact that the murderer would poke a number of bloody holes in the deceased's face, and then insert peeled melon seeds into each bloody hole on the deceased's face. Scattered all over the ground, it was obvious that the deceased had endured inhuman torture during his lifetime, and the murderer was eating melon seeds unhurriedly.

In 2012, the first case of murder and dismemberment occurred, followed by a deceased person in 2013 and 2014. The body of each deceased person was cut into several pieces, up to more than a thousand pieces, but the head was completely preserved. The whole face is like a work of art, studded with melon seeds, and the mouth is stuffed with mahjong.

Forensic test results showed that no useful fingerprint information was extracted from the discovered pieces of flesh of the deceased. The murderer was most likely wearing gloves when committing the crime, and the marks on the edges of the pieces of meat were caused by sharp objects such as kitchen knives. The modus operandi of each case is the same.

Regardless of whether they started with the deceased's social or emotional relationships, despite repeated investigations and patient verification, the police failed to obtain any more effective information. As time went by, the case became an unsolved case.

After five years, the serial corpse-dismemberment murderer reappeared. Coupled with the fermentation on the Internet, the replay video of Yimeng's live broadcast quickly rose to the top of Weibo's trending searches. I don't know who said that the dead loved playing mahjong, which actually caused social turmoil. Public opinion and netizens are panicking. Is it a sin to love playing mahjong?

The live broadcast platform immediately issued a statement stating its position and fully cooperating with the police investigation. Some netizens with dark psychology commented that this was a play co-directed by the live broadcast platform and anchor Yi Meng in order to attract traffic and gain attention.

There is healthy competition among many live broadcast platforms nowadays. If you want to stand out from them, you have to take a different approach. In just a few days, the host Eamonn's live broadcast of Haunted Mansion Adventure has more than 50,000 fans. If there is no company behind it, even a fool would not believe it. .

There are also comments saying that with so many anchors doing live broadcasts, why is it that Eamonn was involved in a murder case? It’s a pity that the anchors don’t buy lottery tickets. The irony in their words is self-evident.

The official Weibo of the live broadcast platform sent a lawyer's letter that day, saying that people who wantonly make false accusations will not be tolerated.

The case attracted great attention, and the Provincial Public Security Department established a special case team responsible for the "Sunflower Case". Su Zhiyuan, an outstanding veteran criminal policeman who has the honor of "National Outstanding Police Criminal Police" and has solved hundreds of large and small cases, serves as the team leader, and the outstanding criminal policeman Chen Mu serves as deputy. Team leader, immediately go to City A and order the case to be solved as soon as possible.

At this time, Eamonn was sitting uneasily on the chair of the police station, completely unaware of everything happening outside. She probably guessed why the police found her, and asked cautiously: "Officer, when did that person die?" ah?"

Team Wang, who was in charge of the interrogation, frowned slightly. The forensic doctor initially determined that the time of death was between 9:30 and 10:30 last night. During that time, Eamonn had no alibi. However, the fragile little man in front of him This girl really doesn't look like a murderer who can kill people and mutilate their bodies.

In addition, the case last night was slightly different from the "Sunflower Case" a few years ago. The deceased was not dismembered, or was it too late to be dismembered?

Captain Wang did not answer Aemon's question, but asked: "Name."

"Eamonn."

"gender."

"female."

"age."

"25 years old."

It was the first time in her life that Eamonn was being investigated. She usually watched TV series about solving crimes, but she was still a little nervous when she was actually in the scene. She tensed her nerves and answered the police officer's questions seriously.

Captain Wang stared closely into Aemon's eyes and asked expressionlessly: "What is your relationship with the deceased?"

Eamonn answered honestly: "It doesn't matter."

"Why did you show up in an unfinished building on the outskirts of the city at around ten o'clock yesterday?"

She briefly explained her job content, saying that live streaming of haunted house adventures was the best choice at night because it was impossible to see ghosts in broad daylight.

At this moment, the door of the room was opened, and a police officer leaned over and whispered in Captain Wang's ear. Then he stopped the interrogation and asked Eamonn to stay at the police station first.

She asked, "Officer, when can I go home?"

Team Wang said: "Comrades from the special case team of the Provincial Public Security Department will come over in the afternoon, and we can just finish the questioning."

The depressing environment was not only in the hospital, but also in the police station. Eamonn felt that his breathing had become difficult. He had not eaten all day long and had to wait until the special case team arrived.

In the square room, there was a camera facing him not far away. Eamonn looked at the two policemen sitting in front of him slightly nervously. His hands were put together unnaturally, and his right hand gently squeezed his left hand. index finger.

The older policeman was the first to speak: "I am Su Zhiyuan, the leader of the special case team responsible for the 'Sunflower Case', and this is the deputy team leader Chen Mu." Speaking of the deputy team leader named Chen Mu next to him. The chief nodded and signaled to Eamonn. Then he continued: "We have a general understanding of your personal situation. We invite you here this time because we want you to assist in the investigation."

Su Zhiyuan's friendly attitude made Eamonn feel more relaxed, but what she didn't understand was, assisting in the investigation? There seemed to be nothing she could do to help the police.

It was an accident to go to a unfinished building to do a live broadcast, and meeting a dead person was an accident among accidents. She had always been a law-abiding citizen and had never paid attention to the "Sunflower Case" at all, and she did not want to be related to the murder case.

At this time, Chen Mu, who had been silent for a long time, asked abruptly, "Do you usually eat melon seeds?"

Eamonn was startled. He suddenly thought of the scene last night, when he saw melon seeds embedded in every bloody hole on the dead man's face. His face was densely covered with melon seeds, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Chen Mu noticed the change in Imon's mood and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I eat occasionally." Aemon answered truthfully, suppressing his inner discomfort.

"Do you like playing mahjong?"

She didn't expect the police officer to be so down-to-earth, and the tight strings in her heart relaxed a lot, "I like it."

After hearing this answer, Chen Mu's eyes stayed on Yi Meng for a moment longer, and their eyes met. After two seconds, Chen Mu took the lead to look away, then lowered his head to record something.

It was obviously an ordinary action, but it gave Eamonn a sense of nervousness. She looked at Chen Mu carefully. This criminal policeman who looked only two or three years older than her couldn't help but wonder why the Provincial Public Security Department sent such a young man. The police officer is the deputy leader of the special case team?

There is a lot of public opinion now. In order to solve the case as soon as possible and reassure the people and the deceased, Su Zhiyuan decided to use Imon, the only witness at the scene, as an entry point.

Su Zhiyuan's face was calm, and there were lines at the corners of his eyes that represented age. He asked softly: "The live broadcast last night seemed to be about ten minutes late. Can you tell me the reason?"

Because she is particularly sensitive to the concept of time, Eamonn has rarely been late since she was a child. The police have investigated this, but rarely does it mean that there is none. Last night was indeed a special situation. She told the story of how she took the wrong road last night. .

"Will you go to the venue in advance for the live broadcast?" Su Zhiyuan asked.

"Will do."

Su Zhiyuan was puzzled, "Since I've been there once, why did I still go the wrong way?"

Eamonn said: "Most girls are a bit road-crazy, and since it was a suburb of the city, it was dark and we couldn't see the road clearly, so we went to the wrong place."

This explanation seemed reasonable, but Su Zhiyuan didn't understand why he didn't use the navigation at the beginning and then used it after he took the wrong route, knowing that he was a road addict and wanted to go to a remote place like the suburbs of the city.

Under normal circumstances, when a homicide occurs, the first suspect will be someone familiar to the deceased. Survey data shows that in homicide cases, the probability of an acquaintance committing the crime is as high as 88%.

Since the "Sunflower Case" was a serial murder and body mutilation case with a heinous nature, and the crime was carried out in a rigorous manner, leaving no valuable clues, the people around the deceased who might have been criminal suspects were also interrogated one by one, but still nothing was found. There is only one link that can connect all the dead together. The dead are all women and they love to play mahjong.

This discovery was a breakthrough for the police. The dismemberment of serial murders basically ruled out the possibility of being committed by an acquaintance. The murderer was most likely to have a special hobby, and he might also be good at disguise to confuse others.

In the past, the police in City A focused too much on the crimes committed by a single person, and believed that those who could commit such cruel things as serial killings and dismembering bodies were most likely men. Su Zhiyuan believed that they might have gone in the wrong direction.

According to Eamonn, the previous live broadcasts were with her friend Muzi, but this time she was alone. However, when she was alone, she encountered a murder case.

"Officer Su, what do you mean?" Eamonn said bluntly: "No one wants to see a dead person, okay?"

Su Zhiyuan said: "Not necessarily."

The atmosphere was a little weird for a moment, and Eamonn couldn't think of words to refute for a moment, so he stared at Su Zhiyuan angrily.

At this time, Chen Mu pulled his chair back, stood up, poured a glass of water and handed it to Imon. At present, there is no evidence to prove that Imon is a suspect. The special case team has just arrived and is not familiar with everything about the case. I didn't even see the discovery scene, and even before I could say hello to my colleagues from City A's municipal bureau, I rushed to the interrogation room. The atmosphere of the interrogation was solemn, not a good start.

"Thank you." After thanking her, she took the water glass and drank some water, feeling much calmer.

Eamonn understood the special case team's desire to solve the case as soon as possible, but she was also confused.

Chen Mu suddenly said: "You can go home."

She asked in surprise: "Can I go home?"

Chen Mu nodded, "But if you are needed to assist in the investigation in the future, I hope you will do your best to cooperate."

Aemon quickly agreed, "I will."

After Yi Meng left the interrogation room in a relaxed mood, Su Zhiyuan asked: "Chen Mu, did you discover anything?" He didn't even ask a few questions before letting the witness go home, unlike Chen Mu. Mu's consistent interrogation style.
