Ten Gruesome Crimes: Echoes of Evil

In 2000, the pagoda trees in the suburbs of East town were in full bloom. Large clusters of pagoda tree flowers hung down, and their rich fragrance made people drowsy. Two migrant workers lay on the river embankment, using their own shoes as pillows, and fell asleep.

After their afternoon nap, dark clouds rolled in from the horizon. Despite the approaching spring, there was still a chill in the air, and suddenly, it started to snow. Snowflakes and pagoda tree flowers drifted down together with the wind.

The two shivering migrant workers had the following conversation about winter:

"Last winter was really cold. My hands, feet, and ears all got frostbitten."

"Yes, my hands and feet were frostbitten, but my ears weren't."

"Do you have a hat?"

"I don't have ears!"

The man without ears mentioned above had once been a vagrant, a road - paver, and a sand - digger. He would become the criminal in the following rape and murder case.

To accurately describe the process of this strange case, we should take a look at his buttocks.

He was sitting on the river embankment, with the soil beneath his buttocks.

What was under the soil?

A train!

The subway train passed beneath his buttocks, passed beneath the buildings in the residential communities where we live, and passed beneath the entire city.

In 2007, a bamboo grove grew in the place where he had sat. The river embankment had long been filled in, and the surrounding area was expanded into a sports ground. The person in charge of the venue wanted to remove the bamboo and build an open - air swimming pool on the vacant land, so an engineering team was hired for construction.

When the engineering team dug three meters underground, a ground - collapse accident occurred. In the middle of the sunken area, a pitch - black hole appeared.

After checking the hole, the leader of the engineering team left in a panic without even asking for the wages.

The person in charge of the sports ground pointed at the hole and asked, "What's down there?"

The police rushed to the scene upon hearing the news and immediately cordoned off the area.

It was said that a police officer went down into the hole and never came back up. All sorts of rumors began to spread. A few days later, the police made a clarification. When the gymnasium was building the swimming pool, due to the ground collapse, they accidentally dug through the shaft of the subway tunnel!

There are many secrets in the subway tunnels that the public knows nothing about!

Subway tunnels have vertical shafts, dewatering wells, pressure wells, and ventilation shafts. Most of the wellheads are buried or located in hidden places. The subway contact rail has a high - voltage electricity of thousands of volts. People who break into the tunnel will be in danger of their lives, and it may also cause traffic paralysis.

Despite this, there are still often people who jump off the subway platform and disappear into the depths of the tunnel. The country has to introduce relevant regulations to restrict such behavior.

The police officer who went down the shaft to investigate really didn't come back up from the hole. He groped forward along the tunnel in the dark. When he appeared on the platform, the passengers were all taken aback. He gasped and explained to the subway staff why he was there. Then, he said something creepy:

"There's someone singing in the subway tunnel!"

The monitoring system in the subway control room didn't detect anyone jumping off the platform, and the train driver also claimed that he didn't see anyone in the tunnel. But the police officer still insisted on his view. He said that he had indeed heard someone singing loudly in the subway tunnel.

This was no small matter. The subway control room took the measure of a temporary suspension of operation. Several inspectors led search and rescue dogs into the tunnel, and the police officer led the way with a searchlight. However, there was nothing in the tunnel. Under the illumination of the searchlight, only the rails reflected light. After searching for ten minutes, they didn't find anything unusual. Just as everyone was about to give up, suddenly a burst of singing came from the bend ahead in the tunnel. It could be clearly heard - a woman's singing voice, a very high - pitched mezzo - soprano, and she was singing a Japanese song!

The strange singing echoed in the tunnel, sounding extremely terrifying.

A timid inspector said, "Is this a human or a ghost?"

The police officer replied, "It must be a human."

The inspector retorted, "If there's someone ahead, why isn't our search and rescue dog barking?"

The search and rescue dog was indeed very quiet. Everyone walked forward slowly. When they turned the corner and shone the searchlight over, the strange singing suddenly stopped, but there wasn't even a single figure in the tunnel.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, feeling their hair stand on end.

During the excavation of the subway, graves and skeletons are often dug up, and there have also been many cases of people jumping onto the tracks to commit suicide at many stations. Some staff members are more willing to believe in the existence of supernatural phenomena, which made them stop and start to back off. Only the police officer searched forward. Soon, he stopped and bent down to observe something.

The others walked over and found a mobile phone on the ground!

This just explained the source of the singing. It must have been the phone's ringtone.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. An inspector wanted to pick up the phone, but the police officer stopped him and said, "Don't touch it."

He put on gloves and carefully picked up the mobile phone on the ground, and asked in a tone full of vigilance:

"Where is the owner of the mobile phone now?"

As we all know, the subway carriage is a closed space, which also rules out the possibility that a passenger dropped the mobile phone in the tunnel. Moreover, this mobile phone looked extremely luxurious and expensive. In the subway safety supervisor's office, the security inspector compared it with the pictures on the Internet and confirmed that it was a Japanese - made Toshiba CosmicShinerexclusive mobile phone. There were only 1,000 units of this model in the world, with 14 diamonds inlaid on the panel. This mobile phone ranked fourth among the world's top ten luxury mobile phones selected by Forbes, with a selling price of 399,000 yen. It can be seen that the owner of the mobile phone must be extremely wealthy.

Just as the security inspector was introducing this mobile phone, the phone suddenly rang, and the strange Japanese singing sounded again.

The safety supervisor and the police officer exchanged glances and then decided to answer the call. Everyone in the office held their breath, guessing what the other party would say. Unexpectedly, there was a complete silence on the other end of the phone. After a full minute, the other party hung up the phone.

Everyone talked about it and discussed whether to call back. After a while, a group of people suddenly rushed into the supervisor's office. Almost all the subway operation directors, dispatchers, the director of the subway branch of the Public Security Bureau, and the heads of the public security stations of each subway police station were present.

The director of the subway branch of the Public Security Bureau held an emergency meeting and revealed the case. 24 hours ago, a wealthy young lady disappeared mysteriously at the subway station. The police, together with the telecommunications department, had been looking for her mobile phone through signal positioning. The wealthy young lady's name was An Qi, and her father, An Yixuan, was the president of the Global Securities Group, a billionaire. He had securities investments in hundreds of enterprises in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Chinese mainland. He was also a Japanese - Chinese.

The safety supervisor nodded and said, "This old man has so much money that he can buy our entire subway operation company."

The branch director said, "But the only daughter of Mr. An disappeared in the subway. There's no sign of her alive or dead."

The safety supervisor was about to say a few witty words when he saw the branch director stand up. He looked around with a solemn expression and said, "We're under a lot of pressure. Just now, the Japanese consul has made representations on this matter. The four directors of the Municipal Public Security Bureau have jointly served as the general commanders of the special case. You figure it out. If anyone messes up, don't blame me for not showing any mercy. Even I myself am in a difficult situation and can't help myself."

A large number of police forces were deployed throughout the city to conduct a dragnet search in the subway, focusing on finding suspicious people on the day of the disappearance. The interrogation records were also very detailed. The subway's monitoring equipment didn't provide any effective clues, and the case made no progress. Only a piece of useless news was obtained from the periphery. The last person to see the wealthy young lady was her private driver. At that time, the driver was taking the wealthy young lady to the airport. They encountered a traffic jam, and the wealthy young lady had to take the subway instead. They had the following conversation:

The wealthy young lady said, "You mean I have to squeeze into the subway with those poor people?"

The private driver said, "Miss, there's a traffic jam now. Even if we were driving a tank, we couldn't get to the airport. You can only take the subway."

The wealthy young lady said, "Damn it, there's only over an hour left until the flight. Can the subway make it in time?"

The private driver said, "Miss, get off here and take the last subway train. It can go directly to the airport. I'm sorry to trouble you, Miss."

The wealthy young lady cursed "Fuck" and got out of the car. She put on her sunglasses. She was wearing a white chiffon and silk satin halter - back flared dress and carried a Saint Laurent Muse handbag. Although she looked a bit angry, she still exuded elegance and nobility. She walked gracefully towards the subway entrance. However, she never came out of the subway again.

Three days later, the police still found nothing. The director of the subway branch of the Public Security Bureau was suspended from his post. In the conference room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the four directors held an emergency case analysis meeting. Christophe scott, the vice minister, personally went to listen to the report. Leaders at all levels of the municipal Party committee and the municipal government were also present at the meeting. Christophe scott spoke at the meeting. He said that the case was complicated. If this case couldn't be solved, it would not only affect the diplomatic relations between China and Japan. Once Mr. An withdrew his securities investment from the Chinese mainland, God knew how many enterprises and stockholders would face bankruptcy.

Just as he was speaking, the door of the conference room opened. A woman in a Japanese kimono helped a trembling old man walk in, followed by several people who looked like bodyguards.

This old man was Mr. An, the president of the Global Securities Group!

Christophe scott walked over and shook Mr. An's hand, saying, "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. We also attach great importance to this matter..."

The first thing Mr. An said was, "How much money?"

Christophe scott didn't understand what he meant.

Mr. An said again, "How much do they want?"

Only then did Christophe scott understand that Mr. An thought his daughter had been kidnapped.

The director of the criminal investigation department of the Municipal Bureau stood up and said to Mr. An, "The possibility of extorting money is not high because so far, we haven't received any news from any kidnappers. After a preliminary analysis of the nature of this case, there are two possibilities. One is revenge and murder. If so, the hope of your daughter's survival is very slim. The other possibility is that your daughter is still alive, but she has been..."

The director of the criminal investigation department hesitated whether to continue. Mr. An looked extremely anxious. The director of the criminal investigation department faltered and said three words, and Mr. An almost fainted.

The three words were: "Detained and raped!"
