On Sunday, October 11th, before dawn, Chen Qiang drove a truck to Huangsha Seafood Market.

He is a freight driver. In recent years, he has been driving trucks around Guangzhou City to help people pick up goods. It is a fixed job to pack and transport the fishing seafood to yellow sand at the fishing ground at 5 a.m. every day.

He arrived today before five o'clock. The neighbors here are familiar with him and called him to sell fish. There were only a few fishery stores on the street that wholesale opened the rolling gates to prepare for business.

He parked the car, opened the truck warehouse door, took out the cart, put the packed seafood on the cart, and walked into the alley.

There is a cold storage for Yonghao Seafood. This sea-generating business is large and sold to several nearby towns. Therefore, the fish you catch needs to be pulled over to freeze in time and then transported to various places.

Usually, Zhang Jianhong would wait for him here and help him move the fish into the cold storage. Zhang Jianhong is the son of his former boss. He inherited his father's business. After graduating from middle school, he helped his father manage this store. He has been working for fifteen years.

Chen Qiang waited until 5:15, but Zhang Jianhong still didn't come. He called several times, but all of them turned off. Chen Qiang was impatient and thought that Zhang Jianhong had slept to death on the store next door, so he went over to shoot the door.

The sound of shooting the roller shutter door was very loud. After a while, he vaguely heard a scream, which was from the cold storage. He ran over to pat the cold storage door to inquire about the situation, and then heard a loud noise from the cold storage. Then there was a cry for help, and someone was slapping the door inside.

He wanted to open the Bingku door, but the door was locked and could not be opened without a key.

He chose to call the police.

When the fire brigade arrived, forcibly broke the door lock and opened the warehouse door, the ones that appeared in front of them were Zhang Jianhong, the manager of Yonghao Seafood. The night security guard Liu Zhongwei, and the body of a middle-aged man who was completely disfigured and burned his fingerprints.

Xia Liang continued:

"When our police team found the owner and security guard of the aquatic shop in the hospital, both of them were a little unconscious. Strangely, when they woke up and the police asked about the body in the cold storage, the two of them even proved that the other party was the murderer."

Zhu Ansheng frowned and asked:

"Have they explained how they were locked into the cold storage?"

"Yes. According to Zhang Jianhong's description, he opened the door to check the food in the cold storage at 10:30 as usual, and then closed the door and was attacked when he was about to go upstairs to sleep. Someone put his head in a sack from behind and covered his mouth with something. He fainted soon."

"The security guard's situation is similar - but he looked like he saw the attacker. He was said to be an old beggar with an unsightly face and could not portray his image..."

Zhu Ansheng's eyes moved slightly, he knocked his pipe, and raised his legs to cross his legs:

"Since he can't see his face clearly, how did he determine the age of the attacker?"

Xia Liang said:

"We also noticed it. But Liu Baoan was sure that it was an old beggar. Judging from his walking posture and voice, he could not make a false statement. When he was at night in the security booth, he saw an old beggar coming to call for help, saying that he heard someone in the nearby cold storage was locked inside. When he followed the old beggar to go to the cold storage door, he was attacked with the same method."

Zhu Ansheng thought about it and laughed, noh:

"interesting."

He played with the pipe in his hand, sorted out his thoughts and said:

"Since both of them were sure that they were unconscious by the attack and were taken into the cold storage, when they saw the corpse, they did not suspect the murderer who attacked them, but instead bit each other..."

Xia Liang nodded:

"This is the most bizarre part of the whole case. There is a suspect in the confession of the two who had violated their intentions and had attacked them. However, after the on-site investigation, the only ones who might commit murder on the victims may be the two in the cold storage... Because the cold storage at that time had already formed a double secret room."

Zhu Ansheng narrowed his eyes. Xia Liang continued:

"The two people who were stunned woke up once in the middle of the way. According to them, the third person in the cold storage, that is, the deceased had not been attacked yet, and the deceased, just like the two, was attacked and fainted and moved in."

"The switch of the cold storage was turned off and there was no light. The three of them slapped the door in the dark for a long time, but couldn't find a way out. They were afraid that the person who locked them in the cold storage would open the door in the middle of the night and hurt them, so they worked together to move the shelves in the cold storage to block the door..."

"Wait, that is to say, when they woke up halfway, the third person was not dead yet?" Zhu Ansheng suddenly asked.

Xia Liang nodded: "Yes... they also put a few plastic boxes for fish between the shelf and the door. Once someone opens the door and pushes the shelf, the hollow plastic boxes will drop to the ground and make a loud noise, enough to wake them up. The owner of the aquatic store knew that someone would come to the cold storage at around five o'clock, so he suggested that everyone save their energy first to avoid being frozen to death... After the two of them woke up, they found that the third person was dead..."

"In this case, people inside cannot get out and people outside cannot get in, that is, the absolute secret room... the suspect can only be locked on the two of them."

Zhu Ansheng thought about it and asked again:

"Did those plastic boxes fall off when the fire brigade unlocked?"

"No. The sound of the truck driver slapped the roller shutter door woke the two of them in a sleepy state. They moved the shelf away by themselves - they moved the shelf away with their hands. After all, it was better to be pushed open by the door. Then, they began to slap the door and call for help."

Zhu Ansheng took another sip of cigarette and said to himself: "This is how the sound in the cold storage that Chen Qiang heard..."

Xia Liang looked at Zhu Ansheng.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think about this case?"

"It's not easy to make a conclusion now, but if nothing unexpected happens, I think you're going to be tough." Zhu Ansheng took a few sips of cigarettes, picked up a trace of tobacco and put it in his pipe.

"Why do you say that?"

Zhu Ansheng did not answer directly, but asked replies:

"Xia Liang, how likely do you think the two suspects are to commit crimes?"

Xia Liang thought for a while and said:

"The current situation is that if both of them bit each other to death, they were the murderer, and they were innocent... Most of the police officers in the police force also thought that some of the two must have lie... But from another perspective, I think there are still many suspicious things."

“For example?”

"For example, the old beggar, who attacked three people in a row and moved them into a cold storage, must have some reasons for his behavior. I don't believe that he would have nothing to do with this murder case... Besides, no matter how you look at it, this case seems to have been prepared for a long time to deliberately murder. If so, the situation of the murderer among the two is unreasonable, because this is equivalent to putting himself in the position of the primary suspect..."

Zhu Ansheng nodded, and did not comment on Xia Liang's idea, but smiled: "There is another very interesting detail in this case."

“What is it?”

Zhu Ansheng put down his pipe, stood up, and walked into the room. He said:

"You mentioned that the switch of the cold storage was turned off and it was pitch black inside. The deceased was disfigured and his fingerprints were destroyed. That is to say... from beginning to end, the two people in the cold storage did not know the identity of the deceased."

Xia Liang's eyes lit up and he turned to look at him:

"In other words, the key clue that the murderer wants to conceal is the identity of the deceased. If the deceased can be found, there should be a big breakthrough in this case..."

Zhu Ansheng's voice came from the room:

"Maybe yes, maybe not."

Xia Liang was stunned and said in confusion: "Brother-in-law, what do you mean..."

There was a rustling sound from the other end of the room, as if he was wearing clothes. After a while, Zhu Ansheng put on his suit pants and a white shirt, and walked out of the room while buttoning it, saying:

"If this is a premeditated case, just from the details of the secret room, the executor's thinking is quite meticulous. In other words, he should not leave such obvious flaws - in terms of modern technology, even if he has no face and fingerprints, it is not impossible to recognize a person's identity."

After saying this, he had returned to the sofa, put on his socks and leather shoes, and then took a wrinkled suit jacket from the hanger, turned his head to look at Xia Liang. Xia Liang realized that some unspeakable colors were flowing in his increasingly turbid eyes, which was the look of "criminal investigation Galileo".

"I have a premonition that when you find out the identity of the deceased, the game arranged by the commander behind the scenes has just begun..."

"Take me to see, Xia Liang."

He put his suit on his shoulders and walked out the door.
