(1) Snowman of Limbs
? A person cannot step into the same river twice, because neither the river nor the person is the same——Heraclitus
? On January 19, 2008, it snowed.
? The three northeastern provinces experienced a snowfall not seen in decades, with snowflakes as large as torn pieces of paper falling from the sky. A university cleaning lady got up at dawn to clear the snow and noticed a snowman outside the female dormitory building. She assumed the students had built it and didn't think it was unusual. When daylight came, however, she realized the snowman's facial features were very strange. Gathering her courage, she brushed the snow off its face and, on closer inspection, was almost scared out of her wits—it turned out the snowman's head was an actual human skull!
? The cleaning lady screamed in fright and immediately ran to inform the campus security, falling countless times along the way. The university's chief of security got up, threw on a coat, and rushed to the scene, then notified the authorities.
? After investigation, the police discovered that the snowman's limbs were also made from real human extremities. Preliminary judgment determined that this was an extremely brutal and perverse homicide case. Forensic results showed that the snowman had been pieced together from the limbs and skulls of at least five victims. The severity of this crime could be described as unprecedented in history!
? When the news spread, the entire campus faculty and students were deeply shocked, and panic permeated the campus.
? A female student reported: On the midnight before the crime, she heard sounds of movement and dragging from the next dormitory. Later, she half-slept and had a nightmare, dreaming that a girl in the neighboring dorm was murdered. The girl's legs had been cut off, and she was crawling through the hallway dragging her body, still holding one of her legs, trying to crawl back to her room…
? After the special investigation team arrived, Professor Liang told the student: What you dreamt was not a dream—it really happened.
? The girl, terrified, said: Ah, how could I not have known?
? Professor Liang said something that sent chills down her spine: Don't you know you have a tendency to sleepwalk? Room 9
? The local snowstorm was severe, the airport was closed, tens of thousands of travelers were stranded at the train station, and city traffic was brought to a standstill.After the task force received the case report, they first flew to the provincial capital and then took a train to the neighboring city. However, the highway between the two cities had already been closed, so the local police used a helicopter to transport the four members of the task force to the school where the case occurred amid heavy snow. The helicopter landed on the open ground in front of the university, and the roar of the rotor blades attracted all the teachers and students. The snow continued to fall, and the entire school lined up to welcome the arrival of the task force. They stood on both sides of the campus road, with no one clapping or speaking, silently watching the four members of the task force. Su Mei pushed Professor Liang in a wheelchair, while Hua Long and Bao Zhan followed behind. They had never felt such a heavy burden on their shoulders as they did now. Professor Liang said softly: 'If we can't solve this case, we will have no face to return, and no face to face these students.' Bao Zhan said: 'At least one thing is in our favor: due to the snow disaster, the culprit cannot leave the city for the time being.' At the end of the road, the leaders from the municipal party committee and municipal government, the director of the education bureau, and the school principal were standing to welcome them. Even before the task force arrived, they had already established a special case team. The vice mayor also served as the city's public security bureau chief, so the vice mayor acted as the chief commander of the case, demonstrating their high level of concern for this case. The vice mayor came forward to shake hands with each member of the task force. Showing the bold and generous nature typical of people from the Northeast, he noticed Professor Liang was lightly dressed, so he took off his own coat and put it on Liang, repeatedly saying 'Thank you for your hard work.' Other leaders also came forward to offer concern, saying that they had been eagerly awaiting the visit of the task force, and because heavy snow disrupted transportation, they could not come far to welcome them, and asked for understanding. Inside the conference room of the teaching building, after brief greetings, Professor Liang said: 'According to our past experience in handling cases, the fewer the leaders, the higher the efficiency. Therefore, I suggest that all leaders withdraw from the campus except the vice mayor, allowing the task force to take over this case, with the vice mayor responsible for executing and coordinating police forces at all levels.' The vice mayor said: 'I have already made a solemn promise before all city police officers: if this case is not solved, I will no longer hold the position of public security bureau chief and will take off this uniform I have worn for most of my life.' The principal introduced that five female students had been murdered. Four of them were from the same dormitory, one of whom was the daughter of a provincial leader, and another whose identity is unknown and is under investigation. The school had already started its winter vacation, but after this case, the school requested that none of the teachers or students leave campus and that everyone await investigation.Because the Spring Festival was approaching, students couldn't be kept away from going home, so time was very tight and the pressure was immense. Professor Liang said: Let's go to the crime scene first! The girls' dormitory where the crime occurred was a gloomy, old building inhabited by freshmen. There were no surveillance cameras and no alarm system installed. Dormitory 309 was located at the end of the third-floor corridor, next to Dorm 308, with the toilet and water room right across from it. All four girls in Dorm 309 were killed in the dormitory. The murder scene was extremely bloody and horrific. There was a large amount of blood in the corridor. One victim had once crawled out of the dormitory to call for help, but somehow crawled back into his own room. Two girls had one leg and one arm cut off, while the other two lost an arm and a leg, both with fatal blunt force wounds to their heads. After killing her in the dormitory, the killer pieced together their bodies to make a snowman downstairs. By the time the police arrived, the scene had already been destroyed. Because of the heavy snow, no footprints were found from the dormitory building. Coupled with the cold weather, everyone wore gloves, and the police did not collect fingerprints from the dormitory. The deputy mayor briefed the special case team on the case progress. The local authorities organized a large number of police officers to conduct a thorough investigation. The dormitory building supervisor locked the door at 10 p.m. and turned off lights at 11 p.m. Because it was close to the holiday, management was lax and there were no inspections at night. It is still unclear how many perpetrators there are, their gender, or how they entered the dormitory. The limb snowman's head is that of a young woman, and the limbs are the limbs of four female victims in dorm 309. There are more than ten thousand teachers and students at the school. Because many students are renting apartments elsewhere and the holidays are approaching, some have already left early. The identity of the victim is still unknown. After the incident, police immediately visited several nearby dormitories. A girl in the neighboring dorm 308 suffered from sleepwalking. Blood was found on the soles of her shoes, indicating that she had been at the murder scene on the night of the incident. However, she herself knew nothing about it, only thinking it was a nightmare. This girl with sleepwalking was always superstitious, often telling classmates that she had a yin-yang eye and could see ghosts and other unclean things. The classmates gave her the nickname 'Little Demon.'Xiaoyao once told classmates that the dormitory of Dorm 309 was haunted, and the four girls living there—Leilei, Meizi, Xue'er, and Yeman—would inevitably face bloodshed. The special investigation team, along with the deputy mayor and principal, questioned Xiaoyao again in detail, and Su Mei filmed the entire questioning process. Identity. After the incident, the police immediately visited several nearby dorms. A girl in dorm 308 had sleepwalking. Bloodstains were found on the soles of her shoes, indicating that she had been at the murder scene on the night of the incident. However, she herself was completely unaware of this and only thought she had a nightmare. This girl with sleepwalking syndrome was always superstitious, often telling classmates that she had a yin-yang eye and could see ghosts and other unclean things. The classmates gave her the nickname 'Little Demon.' Xiaoyao once told classmates that the girls' dormitory in Room 309 was haunted, and the four girls living there—Leilei, Meizi, Xue'er, and Yeman—would inevitably face a bloody disaster. Xiaoyao said that on the morning of January 19, she hadn't gotten up yet and heard many people downstairs shouting. She covered her head and kept sleeping. Later, ** came in, rummaged through things, and upon seeing her shoes, immediately shouted for her to get dressed and get up, asking where she had been last night. Xiaoyao said she hadn't gone anywhere and had been sleeping the whole time. However, classmates immediately identified her once around midnight. When asked if she was going to the bathroom, she said yes. About five minutes later, she returned to her dorm to sleep. Xiaoyao recounted to the special case team the nightmare she had that night. She dreamed she was going to the bathroom, and in the darkness, she saw the door to dorm 309 next door was ajar. Although separated by a door, she clearly knew in the dream that the four girls inside had been murdered. One of the girls crawled out from the door. The little demon recognized Leilei as Leilei. A hole had been smashed open on her head, both legs were severed, and she crawled on the ground holding one of her legs, which still had a scared white bone scar. She wanted to crawl to the little demon for help, but blood trailed behind her. The little demon was terrified and ran into the bathroom. Terrified, she couldn't relieve herself, so she squatted for a while. She remembered being scratched by something in the toilet sink when she squatted down. Looking down, she saw a terrifying hand reaching into the toilet, its fingernails stained red.The little demon was so scared that the hairs on his body stood on end. When he left, he saw Leilei crawling back to the dormitory from the corridor, and the door creaked shut. Professor Liang whispered a few words in Su Mei's ear. Su Mei put down the camera, checked the time, walked out of the dormitory, then went to the opposite restroom, and after returning, checked the time again. The whole process took only two minutes. Professor Liang asked, 'At that time, were you urinating or defecating? Do you have a habit of constipation?' The little demon replied, 'I didn't go anywhere. I didn't go out at night at all. I just had a nightmare.' Professor Liang looked at the case report and said, 'It wasn't a nightmare. Several of your roommates reported that you have a habit of sleepwalking. What you witnessed was a real murder scene. At that time, the murderer was likely nearby, either inside Room 309, or hiding in the restroom.' Bao Zhan said, 'We did find a hand in the toilet.' The little demon said, 'Ah, so the nightmares I had before were real too?' Professor Liang asked, 'What kind of nightmares did you have before?' The little demon said, 'My grandfather is a feng shui master, so I understand a bit about feng shui. Since I was young, I have seen some supernatural things, hard to explain. When I first entered university, I felt something was wrong with this building. It was a place of malevolent feng shui energy. Once I dreamed that under the foundation of Room 309 was an unnamed grave. A tree grew from the grave, with interlaced roots. Although it had been cut down, the root system was vigorous. Later, the grave was demolished to build this building, and the wandering spirits from the grave came out and harmed people.' Hua Long and Su Mei sneered, thinking it was nonsense. Bao Zhan, having grown up in the countryside, held a certain respect for feng shui, and he asked half-doubtfully, 'Is there any way to counter it?' The little demon said, 'I asked my grandfather, and he said that a tree arising from a wild grave is extremely ominous and evil. If this grave is removed, the yin evil will inevitably emerge, leading to endless ramifications. It cannot be resolved, only restrained. You can place a bowl of goldfish in the dormitory. The goldfish must not die, and it must be red… I suggested Leilei do this, but she didn't believe me and laughed at me for being silly—after all, she is the daughter of a high-ranking official.' The vice mayor looked at the principal. The principal thought for a moment and said in surprise, 'This really happened. I remember now, when this building was constructed, a grave was indeed dug up. At that time, we even posted notices seeking the family, but it came to nothing. Many students said they heard strange noises at night and requested to change dormitories.'The little demon said: We also want to change dormitories. Next door is a murder scene, and I keep seeing frightening things. ? The principal said awkwardly: It's almost vacation time now, let's change dormitories after the new semester starts. ? The vice mayor asked: What other scary things have you seen? ? The little demon said: Someone died in Room 309 next door before... a girl, she hanged herself. ? The principal nodded, puzzled, and said: How do you know that? That happened many years ago. ? The little demon said: Some I dreamed, some I actually saw. That girl was hanging from the door frame, her tongue sticking out, her eyes bulging, she lost control of her bowels, it ran down along her white dress. ? Bao Zhan asked: Was the girl short-haired or long-haired? ? The little demon replied: Short hair, looked like a boy.
