Sense of smell

The meeting room of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Public Security Bureau of City B.

"The deceased Tang Zheng, 35 years old, was the captain of the Qiancheng Airlines passenger plane. The time of death was one hour before he was discovered. He was shot in the head and died at the temple. The cause of death was intracranial hemorrhage and fragmented brain tissue. Elevated intracranial pressure, causing brain herniation, oppressing other brain tissues and vital centers, resulting in respiratory and cardiac arrest. A bullet was found at the scene, the specification was a NATO standard 7.62X51mm caliber rifle bullet, from the shooting accuracy and bullet specifications It can be preliminarily determined that the murderer used a sniper rifle."

The conference room was silent, only Wei Lan's voice was particularly clear.

"At the same time, a military folding knife was found from the deceased. The model was Strider GB. The knife edge was consistent with the wound on Cheng Jing's body, so this knife was the direct murder weapon, and Tang Zheng was the murderer who killed Cheng Jing."

Wei Lan turned the report on the holographic screen to the next page, and continued:

"Secondly, the autopsy report showed that a small amount of diethylmalonamide and chlorpromazine were detected in the body of the deceased. There were several small pinholes on the right arm of the deceased. The forensic doctor inferred that the deceased had injected these two chemicals into the body These two chemicals are cited in sedatives and antipsychotics, which can quickly relieve depression and anxiety and curb the growth of crime index.”

"The above is the autopsy report on the deceased." Wei Lan passed the report just shown to everyone's watches and returned to his seat.

Tang Zhengfeng nodded, and then said: "Report the clue of the rental house."

"Yes!" Wendy stood up when she heard this, walked to the holographic screen, opened the watch, and the items of Tang Zheng's life were displayed on the screen.

"We asked the landlord of this house, and the landlord said that about a month ago, that is, after Tang Zheng and Cheng Jing divorced, he rented a house here, and the rent was directly remitted to the landlord's account."

Lin Chuan frowned slightly, and asked, "Is the account belonged to Tang Zheng?"

Wendy nodded: "Yes, this area is an abandoned residential area that is about to be demolished. There is no 'Seer' system control, and the door locks are all old-fashioned, and you need to use a key to open them."

So there was something wrong with his mental state, and the "supervisor" didn't monitor it.Lin Chuan nodded thoughtfully, signaling Wendy to continue.

"We found a 2ml syringe in Tangzheng's home. The needle had been used and there was drug residue. After testing, it was confirmed that it contained estazolam, barbiturates, chlorpromazine, diethylmalonamide and coffee. Because of the chemical ingredients, these ingredients have an addictive effect and have a small amount of toxicity. If they are taken for a long time, once they stop using them, withdrawal syndrome and "rebound" phenomenon will appear, which means that it may lead to abnormal psychological crime index. The situation of decreasing and increasing.”

Wendy raised her hand and clicked on the holographic screen, and then two different pictures of syringes appeared on the screen, and she continued: "This is the syringe that Cheng Jing's family and Tang Zheng's family appeared on. Although the specifications are the same, they are not produced by the same manufacturer. "

After hearing this, Tang Zhengfeng said: "Go and find out which two manufacturers these two types of syringes are produced from, and find out the transaction records of the manufacturers in recent months."

Everyone nodded, and Wendy continued: "There is one more item." She turned the page to the next page, "This calendar marked the 10 days before October 16 with a red circle. Yongshu and I I thought it might have some meaning, so I also collected it." Wendy stuck out her tongue with a smile, and passed the report to everyone's watches.

"Thank you for your hard work. The meeting will be like this for now. Cheng Jing's parents will continue to interrogate. If there is no problem, they will do a psychological diagnosis first and then release him. The results of the interrogation will be passed on to me forever. This matter will continue to be investigated and the meeting will be adjourned." Tang Zhengfeng cleared Clearing their throats, everyone got up and left the conference room.

Jiang Yue was about to step away, only to hear Tang Zhengfeng say to himself: "Jiang Yue, come with me."

The Municipal Bureau Building is the tallest building in City B. Although the floor where the true crime team is located is not on the upper floors, it can still overlook some buildings.Jiang Yue followed Tang Zhengfeng to the balcony. Tang Zhengfeng took out a cigarette from his pocket as a signal, and he took it. After lighting it, he took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. Looking at the row upon row of urban forests, the clues of Tang Zheng's case kept flashing in his mind. He was trying to find the thread hidden under the case, or the fire thread that ignited everything. He played an excellent role like a hound. The sense of smell, relying on instinct to confirm his intuition.

After a long time, when the cigarette burned into a butt, Tang Zhengfeng said slowly, "I suggest you not to participate in the investigation of this case."

Jiang Yue didn't look back, and said lightly: "I have a measure."

Tang Zhengfeng looked at his side face silently, pondered for a moment, and said: "We all regret what happened three years ago. This case is too complicated and confusing. Jiang Yue will be swallowed if he goes deep into the swamp."

"The case is always closed, isn't it?" Jiang Yue extinguished the cigarette in his hand on the balcony railing, and the smoke quickly rose and dissipated. He put the cigarette butt in his pocket and continued: "I know what you are worried about, but this Everything needs someone to put an end to it."

Tang Zhengfeng didn't respond, Jiang Yue looked back at him, smiled lightly and said, "Okay, old Tang, if something happens later, if you need me to stop, I will never intervene, I will listen to you."

Tang Zhengfeng frowned and struggled for a while before making up his mind to compromise, and then Jiang Yue continued to ask: "By the way, what is the background of that new Police Officer Lin?"

Tang Zhengfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise. In his memory, Jiang Yue usually doesn't ask other people's information. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's normal to graduate from the police school, but it seems to be a good student. I got No. 2 in the professional assessment, and then I chose the police school. , but I heard that it turns out that people like to fight. Why did you ask me this all of a sudden?"

"Student? I don't think he is enough to choose him." Jiang Yue teased with a sneer.

Tang Zhengfeng asked even more puzzled: "Why are you suddenly interested in him?"

"It's nothing, just ask." Jiang Yue remembered the scene of Lin Chuan gnawing his nails that day, which was a sign of an unstable mental state.He squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the continuously turbulent clouds in the sky, the golden sunlight was blocked by the thick white clouds, leaving a gloomy sky.

Lin Chuan walked into the elevator with a notebook and pressed the top floor. He watched the floor numbers jumping and changing intently, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Tang Zheng was murdered, the medicine in his body and syringe, the strange mask, and Jiang Yue's tiny reaction when the mask was mentioned...

"Ding——" The elevator door opened, and he strode out, walked to the door of the archives room, put his right hand on the scanner, and the door opened after a while, and Lin Chuan walked in with his notebook tightly, and was shocked by the scene in front of him. stunning.

He always thought that the archives room was dark and rigid, but the general archives room of the Municipal Bureau was decorated like a library. Not only did it have sofas and desks, but also a coffee shop for people to relax. On the top floor, the light enters through the skylight, and the view is as wide as a dome.Lin Chuan actually likes going to the library, so seeing such a file room made him feel a lot happier. He kept looking for the file cabinets, and finally stopped in front of the cabinet marked "Class A".

——"Three years ago? Ah, let's talk about the case of Luo Wen. I don't know much about that case. I came here two years ago, but I heard that the unsolved cases are classified as A-level cases. Officer Xiao Lin feels that If you are interested, you can go to the archives to have a look."

Wendy's kind suggestion still lingered in his ears. Lin Chuan walked to the filing cabinet and kept looking for the case names on the spine of the book. His slender fingers slid over one file after another. Suddenly, he saw a file marked The file of "Eastern Suburb Villa in 2130" paused for a while, then continued to search forward, and finally stopped in front of the file that said "Theater in 2143".

It should be this.Lin Chuan took out the dossier, he paused for a long time, staring at the dossier in 2130, and finally decided to take it down.

He found a free desk, spread out his notebook, and took out his pre-exam reviewing energy. Just as he was about to open the file, he saw two lines of small words on the cover:

File A21430621

Person in charge: Jiang Yue

Lin Chuan reconfirmed several times in disbelief, and he was sure that it was the Jiang and the Yuehou he knew, and he was puzzled.

If the person in charge of this case is Jiang Yue, that is to say, he was originally a police officer, then why did he become a police dog?What crime did he commit?

Lin Chuan shook his head, held back his doubts, and opened the file.

On June 2143, 6, at the International Theater in City B, the number of deaths was 21, among the 12 deaths were 12 children and 5 adults.Among them were two families of three. According to the investigation, these five families were listening to a concert in the theater, and then died strangely. The cloth was covered with white cloth, the white cloth was stained by the blood of the corpse, and the red was very dazzling. These 7 corpses were deliberately placed on the seats beside the long table, 12 on the left and right, and the middle seat was empty. They are all placed towards the empty space in the middle, as if waiting for its redemption.

With such a sense of sight, Lin Chuan stared at the photo and fell into deep thought.

The Last Supper?

The International Theater is a place where many well-known artists will go to present their talents. Although the external security is strict, there is no "Seer" system inside the theater. The artists claim that "noble heaven should not be monitored", so the government only arranges it inside the theater. In addition to the security personnel and "supervisors", logically speaking, the criminal psychology value of this murderer is absolutely overvalued, but there was no alarm at that time, and the security personnel all fainted at the scene, and there was no alarm when the psychological examination was carried out later. Great value case.

At that time, everyone in the symphony orchestra performing was normal except for the conductor, who is still imprisoned today, has no useful testimony, and is in a trance. It is impossible to determine whether he is the murderer.

The most unbelievable thing is why these 12 people should not be the only ones to listen to the concert if there is a concert in such a huge theater, but it is these 12 people who died, as if the murderer was deliberately sending a message.

Turning to the second page, the file seems to have thought of this too, stating the identities of everyone in the family who died. Lin Chuan glanced at it, ranging from the head of the department to the captain of the police station. The only thing in common is that they are all government officials. official.

And the name of the Director of the Personnel Department, Luo Wen, was on the paper.

It was precisely because too many officials were involved that the murder case was detained by the government and the news was blocked. No wonder I never heard of this case three years ago

Lin Chuan felt more and more strange, and continued to read, only to see that there were only two words in the column of the final modus operandi:

Hypnosis.

"Hypnosis?" Lin Chuan looked at this absurd conclusion written by Jiang Yue in astonishment, as if seeing idealistic or even deified remarks in a materialistic book, which is extremely absurd.

But having said that, Lin Chuan looked at the notes he wrote, tapped the pen lightly on the notebook, and thought, Tang Zheng’s case happened to have clues related to three years ago, and the previous news has been blocked. Luo Wen's death should not be known by many people, and Tang Zheng had nothing to do with the murder three years ago, so is this mask of unknown origin a coincidence, or is it a continuation of three years ago?

"Ah, I can't figure it out." Lin Chuan scratched his head in a low voice, then sorted out all the files on the table and walked to the coffee shop.

There were very few people in the coffee shop, and the waiters were all AI intelligence. The quiet air was filled with a strong aroma of coffee. Lin Chuan found an empty seat and sat down. After ordering a cup of coffee, he continued to read the documents.

His notes can only be understood by himself, they are messy and complicated, basically he writes whatever he thinks of, and if his thoughts are wrong, they are all scribbled out, and the whole page looks very messy and disorderly.He frowned at the annoying font, sighed and turned to a new page.

The slight sound of turning pages was covered by the sound of the chair being dragged. Lin Chuan looked up and saw Jiang Yue sitting down with a few thick textbooks as if nothing had happened. He noticed Lin Chuan's gaze and looked at him. Nod slightly to say hello.

Lin Chuan blinked, and suddenly realized that he was looking at something that might be regarded as Jiang Yue's heart disease, which was still a bit contrary to the person involved.So he immediately stamped his big black notebook on the file, and smiled awkwardly at Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue looked at his series of unnatural actions, lowered his eyes and flipped through the book, and said disapprovingly: "Isn't there a saying that is well said, curiosity killed the cat."

Lin Chuan was speechless, since he was discovered, there was nothing to hide, so he said frankly: "This is called getting to the bottom of the matter, in order for us to solve the case as soon as possible, we need to conduct deeper reasoning and further investigation... "

Jiang Yue looked at him with a slight smile, and said, "Did Police Officer Lin find any clues?"

Lin Chuan cleared his throat, looked directly at Jiang Yue, and pretended to be deep and said: "This must be there. For example, our real case team has a large number of talents, and the clue that everyone has an extraordinary background has been found."

Jiang Yue still looked at him calmly, and slowly said: "In-depth analysis is a good thing, but I hope that Officer Lin will not focus on one thing and lose another."

It seems that the person in front of him will not reveal his past, Lin Chuan understood, and said casually: "It makes sense, although Cheng Jing's case is considered closed, it is still the same as the murder case three years ago. There are countless connections, and there are many doubts about the theater case, but what concerns me most is the modus operandi."

Lin Chuan paused, looking at Jiang Yue's expression, but the latter was so calm that he couldn't catch any subtle changes, so he continued: "I am not very familiar with the word 'hypnosis', and I have never minored in psychology. Professional, but since I entered the real crime team, the profession that can be linked to the word "hypnosis" is the profession of police dogs. The modus operandi of this case is concluded to be "hypnosis". How did Police Officer Jiang make this judgment?"

The eyes of the two meet, the coffee shop is full of weak conversations, no one cares about the subtle atmosphere changes in this corner, the air is wrapped in a thick coffee aroma, and the invigorating effect of caffeine makes people's thinking clearer.

For a long time, Jiang Yue still looked at Lin Chuan calmly, and said calmly: "The earliest stage of hypnosis appeared in prehistoric times. Ancient India, ancient Egypt and ancient Rome all had such techniques. Through certain religious means and strong Rhythm induces hypnosis, such as the case three years ago, it is possible that rhythm was used to hypnotize the victim."

"According to what you say, the murderer is hidden in the orchestra? But after the review, only the conductor is above the value? This is a paradox again." Lin Chuan questioned.

Jiang Yue did not answer directly, and continued: "Modern hypnotism theory is a two-level theory. The first level is the material level, which affects the functions of the brain and nervous system and affects physiological activities; the second level is the single-line interaction between the hypnotist and the subject. Contact, so that the subject is willing to accept and cooperate with the instructions of the hypnotist, that is, to obey the orders of the hypnotist."

"I personally infer that there is no murderer in the orchestra, and there is a high probability that the conductor is not a murderer. They have all been subjected to paternal hypnosis, and the score they played is the real problem."

"In other words, you suspect that someone has changed their music score?" Lin Chuan suddenly realized.

Jiang Yue pondered for a moment, and said: "I thought so too at the time, but everyone in the orchestra said that this song was the same from the beginning of practice to the final performance, and it is also possible that they have entered a hypnotic state from the beginning, and more than one There is really no way to start the song."

Lin Chuan opened the file and looked at it again, and said, "These things are not stated in your file."

"Because it's just my personal speculation and cannot be used as a final conclusion."

Lin Chuan nodded, wrote something in the notebook and crossed it out frizzily, Jiang Yue looked at his messy handwriting silently, for a long time, only heard Lin Chuan say: "What songs were performed at that time?"

Jiang Yue hesitated for a while, turned on his watch and searched quickly, and soon an email was sent to Lin Chuan, and then Jiang Yue said: "In fact, Officer Lin doesn't need to pay too much attention to this case, it is not within your scope of responsibility. "

Lin Chuan could hear what he meant, Jiang Yue didn't intend to let others intervene, so he smiled embarrassingly: "Isn't this the first case I've seen related to psychological hypnosis? Set it on fire!"

"There are very few cases of hypnosis, but it's not the only one. There was a similar case 16 years ago, but I didn't become a criminal police officer at that time, so I didn't know much about it."

Lin Chuan paused for a moment, and changed the subject unnaturally: "Speaking of which, regarding Tang Zheng's case, why did you say to see if he is a person with a sense of ritual?"

Jiang Yue leaned back, adjusted to a comfortable posture, and said lightly: "Although this is an era of data, there is no doubt that people are emotional animals. No matter what the case is, what the perpetrator left All traces have reasons for their existence, and these reasons may seem trivial, but every detail can reflect his inner world. The red circle Tang is drawing on the calendar, in addition to those festivals, there are also birthdays of his younger brothers and sisters and his Parents' memorial day, so these days are very important to him. Then let me ask you, if a person focuses on remembering a certain date, besides it means a lot to him, what reason does he have?"

Lin Chuan thought for a while, and said, "Remembrance?"

Jiang Yue nodded and said: "That's right, he will commemorate these important days, this is his sense of ritual, so he will choose this way of killing, if it costs 30 dollars, then it will be 30 days, he and Cheng Jing divorced time.” Jiang Yue paused, and then said: “Secondly, there is another point, Cheng Jing’s birthday or their wedding anniversary is not recorded in his calendar, which makes me very strange, maybe their relationship is not that deep ?”

Lin Chuan frowned, and after thinking about it, he said: "In fact, I have long felt weird. Tang Zheng's family situation is not good, and he and Cheng Jing are not in the same family. Now you have said that they don't have a deep emotional foundation. How is that?" Together? Even married."

Jiang Yue didn't speak, but just looked at Lin Chuan calmly. Lin Chuan frowned and nodded slightly. He clenched his left hand into a fist and put it on his chin. He bit the nail of his left thumb lightly. Only then did Jiang Yue realize that his nails were very short. But very tidy.

—— Nervous, prone to sensitivity and anxiety, suffering from mild obsessive-compulsive disorder and early self-abuse tendencies.

Jiang Yue slowly looked away, his eyes fell on another file, and he couldn't help asking: "Is Police Officer Lin interested in this case in 2130?"

Lin Chuan was slightly startled, he covered the file with his hand, and pretended to be relaxed and replied: "There is a good saying, curiosity killed the cat."

Jiang Yue looked at Lin Chuan meaningfully and smiled, not wanting to ask any more questions.The aroma in the coffee shop is still strong, and the deep-colored coffee is filled in a white porcelain cup, which incorporates all the unspeakable secrets, and then turns into fragrant molecules and disperses them into the air.
