mysterious him

Coming down from the expressway, the national road from the urban area to the county area built in the early years was too narrow, and the speed of the car became slow and fast. After driving for more than an hour on the [-]-kilometer road, it finally turned into the main road of the county town. What a coincidence Coincidentally, there was an accident with the driverless car in front, and it didn't move for a long time. Fortunately, the traffic police were coordinating to move the car.Since the popularization of self-driving cars, sales have reached new highs every year, but they are also the hardest hit areas of traffic accidents.

Liu Shuai in the driver's seat couldn't help muttering in his heart that he really shouldn't have been in the criminal police line back then.After waiting for more than ten minutes, he gradually felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He couldn't help but glanced at the person in the back seat, and said with an apologetic smile, "Captain, don't worry, I'll be there in a while... I'll be there in a while..." It was a mistake not to drive the police car!

The person in the back seat didn't answer, and looked out the window with a straight face, holding a black cat in his arms, the cat was curled up, as if asleep.

Not long after, the accident vehicle was moved away, Liu Shuai kicked the gas pedal, and rushed to the County Public Security Bureau in a hurry.

The car drove into the gate, and a crowd of people could be seen from a distance.

Someone in the crowd noticed the car approaching, hurried up to open the door, and extended his hand obsequiously for a handshake: "Comrades from the city are welcome to guide the work!"

The person in the back seat got out of the car, and everyone's eyes focused on him. The person who came was not wearing a police uniform, but casually put on a sports jacket. Fat black cat, the picture is a bit weird.Hearing the greeting, the man's face was still serious, his eyelids were raised slightly, and he said coldly, "You're so happy that three people died?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Liu Shuai hurried forward to hold the little police officer's hand, and said to ease the embarrassment: "The comrades in the county are so polite! Please give me more advice."

At this time, the tallest person in the center of the crowd walked over with great interest and introduced himself: "Hello, I am Bai Yang, I must be Zhang Xiaoxin, I have known you for a long time, nice to meet you."

Zhang Xiaoxin put down the cat in his hand, took a careful look at Bai Yang, then turned to the little policeman just now with a casual "hmm", and asked, "Where is the meeting room of the task force? Inform all members to come in for a meeting immediately... ..."

The team leader had already spoken, and the members who were pointed out hurriedly followed his pace.

Bai Yang was at the end, and saw the black cat that Zhang Xiaoxin had brought with him, looking for a place to lie down and take a nap leisurely, and was about to tease the cat, when he heard someone complaining in a low voice: "It's true that you are so angry when you are late." The first rank of the official ranks crushes people to death!" Hearing this, he stopped his steps, hooked the corners of his mouth viciously, and followed into the conference room.

Entering this meeting room, no one can feel relaxed.

Qingyue County is a small county under Hujiang City. It has always had a low sense of existence. The county's economy is mainly based on light industry and tourism development. In the contemporary society with rapid technological development, it can be regarded as a piece of pure land.

However, in such a place, three murders occurred this month, and the three murders had different methods of committing the crimes. It is strange that the marks left by the murderer on the side of the corpses are exactly the same, all bearing the four characters of "Walking for the Heavens" words.

These three cases were posted on the Internet by troublemakers, and they were named "Black May Serial Murder Case". Coupled with the media's extensive reports and exaggeration, it made people panic for a while.The superiors attached great importance to it, and immediately dispatched elite cadres from various municipal bureaus to form a special investigation team and gathered in Qingyue County.

As usual, names should be exchanged before the meeting. As soon as Liu Shuai was about to get up, Zhang Xiaoxin stopped him: "Colleagues in the county will first briefly introduce the case, and we will get to know each other later when the case is analyzed. Liu Shuai, take the minutes of the meeting." He Looking around for a week, it landed on the third person on the side, and his eyes signaled him to come forward.

The man stood up as expected, "My name is Wei Ran, and I will introduce the current progress of the case."

There were a total of eight people in the special case team, except for Zhang Xiaoxin and his subordinates, only himself had reported his family background. How did he know that it was the criminal police from the Qingyue County Bureau?Bai Yang's mind turned, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Zhang Xiaoxin, the captain of the criminal investigation who is said to be the fastest and average number of cases solved in the country, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry in his eyes.

Wei Ran turned on the virtual screen, and on the screen were photos of the three deceased.

He clicked on the first photo, and the screen jumped to the scene to collect photos: "The first deceased was named Wu Shoucai. The body was found by scavengers in the garbage bin west of the back door of Huayuan District on May 2032, 5. The cause of death was poisoning. , The time of death was between the 19th and the 5th. The deceased was cut into more than 14 pieces and packed in six black plastic bags, each with a large amount of solid deodorant. The lower right corner is unmanned The bird's-eye view of the community taken by the camera shows that the place where the corpses are thrown is in the northwest corner of the community, and no one passes by usually, so it is a blind spot for monitoring. According to the property management of the community, these trash bins usually have a small amount of garbage and are cleaned only once a week. The corpse was found Just three days ago, Wu Shoucai carried out garbage. Wu Shoucai is the only son of Wu Chenglong, a well-known entrepreneur in Qingyue County. He has an arrogant personality and lives alone. DNA, the first crime scene has not yet been found."

While he was talking, the people below were quickly recording some thoughts, but they saw the pen in Bai Yang's right hand spinning, and only the name of the deceased was written on the paper in front of him, while the other hand was controlling his mobile phone under the table. The brightness is very low, so I can't see what I'm doing.

Zhang Xiaoxin didn't even move his pen, just stared at the pictures with his chin dragging.

"The second deceased was named Xu Dong. Xu Dong's parents had reported missing on the 13th, but no one could be found. The body was found on May 5th at the bridge hole in the lower reaches of the South Lake. The body He was stuck in the bridge hole and did not continue to float down. There were obvious strangulation marks on his neck, and he died of suffocation. It is estimated that the time of death was between 17:11 p.m. The body floated downstream along the direction of the flow. Both Xu Dong's parents and himself are teachers in the No. 1 Middle School of the County. However, according to the school's feedback, Xu Dong does not like to socialize and usually walks alone. There have been many complaints from parents of students.”

Bai Yang finally put away his mobile phone, looking at the photo marked by the murderer on the screen with a cloth sign saying "Walk for Heaven" and couldn't help being surprised. crooked, the murderer may not be very good at needlework.

Wei Ran took a sip of water and continued: "The situation of the third deceased is relatively simple. He fell and died on May 5. He jumped off the top floor of Dong'an Building in the middle of the night and was discovered by passers-by early the next morning. , There is a surveillance camera on the top floor of Dong'an Building, and the whole process was photographed, no second person was present, and it was confirmed that it was a suicide. The deceased was named Sun Ze, 20 years old, the youngest son of Sun Dazhi, a real estate agent in the county, unemployed." He manipulated the screen and zoomed in on the scene Photo, "The strange thing is that there was a banknote in the deceased's wallet, and the words "Walk for Heaven" were written on the front with a marker. The three deceased had all studied in Qingyue No. 24 Middle School, but there is no evidence that they had personal relationships .”

Qingyue No. [-] Middle School is the top high school in Qingyue County, and Zhang Xiaoxin also graduated from here. When he heard the name of his alma mater, he raised his head irritably, and then met Bai Yang's eyes looking at him. thinking.

Zhang Xiaoxin took another careful look at him, and after noticing anything unusual, he refocused on the opposite virtual screen.

"At present, the superiors have approved three cases to be investigated together." After distributing the prepared materials, Wei Ran was a little at a loss, not knowing what to do next. He had been employed for less than a year, and all he encountered were petty cases. , It is the first time to handle a murder case, and it is inevitable that I will feel a little guilty.All the people present here are superiors with more experience than him, and their eyes are unpredictable.But the director recommended him, saying that the city bureau has already come to lead the team, and the county bureau is just a helper, which is a good opportunity for training and improvement.Thinking of this, he pulled himself together and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

For a while, everyone was still in deep thought, but they didn't speak.

Zhang Xiaoxin walked up to the virtual screen, stretched out his hand and put together the three "Walk for Heaven" marks left by the murderer, and after looking at them for a while, he turned to look at the others: "My name is Zhang Xiaoxin, and that is Liu Shuai. Tian also asks everyone to work hard with us." Without waiting for other people to respond, he gave instructions: "Next, let's talk about our thoughts on the case one by one, and try to finish it before lunch."

Then he patted Wei Ran on the shoulder: "You just stand here and preside over the meeting, and fill in any missing parts when you think of them."

Everyone flipped through the information in their hands and marked some details on the side.

Bai Yang also picked up the document, read it hastily and then put it down, as if he had a plan in mind.

The colleague transferred from Yuanen City next door got up first: "My name is Zheng Xixi, and the person next to me is Qi Jianguo. Both of us are from the Criminal Investigation Team of Yuanen City, so I don't want to talk too much. Judging from the current situation, I speculate that the murderer is a native of Qingyue County and has been plotting for a long time. Personally, I think the investigation directions include the following. Find the murder weapon. Generally speaking, the murderer will have a psychological safety zone. Maybe the murderer's location is between these three locations. The second is the source of the item. Cards, cloth strips, and banknotes are all very common things. , It's not easy to find, but deodorants are different. Ordinary people don't buy deodorants in large quantities, so you can check them. The third is social relations. The murderer's behavior of leaving a mark has a strong emotional color, and the possibility of vendetta is relatively high. It is recommended to start the investigation from the social relationship of the three people, if the relationship network can be found, the case will be clear."

Lu Zhenxing and Qian Fang from the Anchang Criminal Investigation Team also briefly introduced themselves.

Lu Zhenxing: "I basically agree with Brother Zheng's idea. I would like to add that, from the monitoring point of view, after the deceased surnamed Sun jumped from the building, no one approached him before he was discovered by witnesses. It is very likely that someone close to him put it in the wallet, and it is recommended to start the investigation with him first."

At this time, Wei Ran seemed to suddenly think of something, and rushed out of the meeting room, and when he came back, he had a stack of papers in his hand and distributed them to eight people: "This is the list of interviewees for the deceased's social relationship that I drew up yesterday, it may be helpful. "

Liu Shuai glanced at the list and thought of all the people who needed to be visited, which showed that he had worked hard. He gave Wei Ran a thumbs up: "Xiao Wei, good job."

Others also cast appreciative glances, except Zhang Xiaoxin and Bai Yang.

Bai Yang didn't read the list at all, Zhang Xiaoxin still had a poker face after reading it.

Qian Fang pointed to a name on it: "This Sun Ze's girlfriend needs to be interrogated emphatically."

So far, except for Bai Yang who did not introduce himself, everyone else has spoken.

So he stood up very consciously: "I am Bai Yang, the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of Huixing City. Please give me your advice." After speaking, he bowed slightly, which drew applause, like a dancer in the middle of a dance floor inviting a female partner to dance gentleman.Meticulous hairstyle, coupled with suits and leather shoes, if he hadn't appeared here, no one else would associate him with the criminal police.

"Officer Zheng's analysis is very good, but I don't agree with one point. If the murderer is a local, his psychological safety zone is much larger, because he is familiar with the entire county." After finishing speaking, he walked to the virtual screen in the center: " The murderer’s crimes seem rough, but in fact they are meticulous. It is likely that they have planned for a long time. I checked just now. The Huayuan Community was built 13 years ago. It is an old-fashioned community. Most of the houses were rented out by the original owners. It will attract attention. Also, the upstream and downstream terrain of Nanhu Lake is not obvious, and it is greatly affected by the tide and wind, which means that the murderer didn't care when the deceased was found, and he was lucky enough to get stuck in the bridge hole."

The victim became "lucky" in his mouth, but no one cared about his words at this time, "The murderer could have completely escaped the suspicion of the third deceased, but he deliberately marked it to attract the attention of the police. Let everyone know that this person was also killed by him, which is completely in line with the characteristics of a serial murderer motivated by seeking revenge."

After finishing speaking, he said loudly: "Then, our main goal is to find the intersection of these three people. In a small county town, in the same high school, there will be no intersection between the son of a well-known entrepreneur and the son of a real estate agent. That's strange enough. I'm sure they must know each other." Bai Yang is too aware of the idea that the rich and powerful are eager to build relationships with each other. They are in the same circle, and it is impossible for them to be unconnected, especially in small places that cannot be controlled by big forces.

He seemed to be the focus by nature, and what he said could confuse people for no reason, not to mention the firm confidence exuded from the inside out.

Zhang Xiaoxin took a careful look at Bai Yang for the third time, and then signaled him to go back to his seat, "I think everyone has fully understood the case, so starting this afternoon, we will conduct investigations in groups, Zheng Xixi and Qi Jianguo, thank you for being in charge of the on-site investigation, especially Garden District, at night, I hope to see at least three routes for throwing corpses that avoid surveillance, and contact me anytime if you have any questions."

"Lv Zhenxing Qian Fang, you are responsible for the investigation of Wu Shoucai and Sun Ze's social relations. Parents and friends should not be left behind, and the service personnel of the living quarters should have an in-depth understanding of the victim's living habits. It is not ruled out that acquaintances commit crimes."

"Bai Yang, Wei Ran, urge the physical evidence department to report, and then contact the information department to check and trace back the content of the campus forums of the three deceased during their school days, whether there is any content related to them, and try to find out their identity according to their IP addresses and IDs. Account number. Check the encrypted groups in the forum, and see if any of them may have joined." He paused, "When checking posts, focus on looking for content related to school violence."

When he said the words "campus violence", everyone present was stunned.

In fact, this is not a difficult aspect to think of, but everyone has skipped this point unconsciously, because it has been too long in the past... If there is such a person who was bullied during campus, he has been carefully planning for the past few years, with the purpose of killing Get rid of the classmates who bullied me back then...

Wei Ran was the last to react. His whole body trembled unconsciously as if electrified, and his hairs stood on end for a moment.

Bai Yang and Zhang Xiaoxin looked at each other for no reason, and they both had one thought: the next victim will appear soon!

"Liu Shuai followed me to County No. [-] Middle School, and the four groups split up. Is there any problem?"

"No problem!" Everyone said in unison, packed up their things and got up to act. He raised his hand like a noble son of Bai Yang, and asked lazily, "Captain Zhang, can I be in a group with you? I'm more interested in..." I'm more interested in you , the words turned a corner: "I'm more interested in the part of your investigation."

Zhang Xiaoxin frowned. Just as he was about to refute, the door of the meeting room was opened, and the female police officer from the county bureau politely informed: "Excuse me, Team Leader Zhang, please go to his office after the Gao Bureau."

Bureau Gao is the director of the Public Security Bureau of Qingyue County, who should have been in charge. Now that the city bureau has set up a task force, the responsibility falls to Zhang Xiaoxin. People speculate that he has completely delegated power and sent a "rookie" to report the case. I have lumps in my heart.It stands to reason that when you arrive at someone else's territory, you have to go to "worship the pier" as soon as possible, but Zhang Xiaoxin just wants to get started quickly, so he skips this.

Zhang Xiaoxin picked up the documents in front of him: "Understood, here we come." He waved his hand: "Action!" After speaking, he walked away from the meeting room, interrupted by such an interruption, completely forgot about Bai Yang's change of team .
