Special Social Situation Administration

When Lu Yu took Nie Wenxi into the Criminal Investigation Brigade, 15 minutes had passed since the shift was over. Qin Fen stood under the building, waiting bitterly for their arrival.

As soon as Lu Yu entered the gate, he saw Qin Fen standing downstairs with a bitter expression on his face, and he was immediately happy: "Hey, isn't this Captain Qin? It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Young poor!" Qin Fen waved his hand, "I have detained everyone, saying that there is an emergency and I have to stay behind and work overtime. Guess what?"

"What's the matter?" Lu Yu asked along the pole.

"Good guy! There are so many complaints!" Qin Fen pulled out a half-hearted smile, "You better really have something to do!"

"How do you talk?" Lu Yu glanced at him, "Who would come to see you if it's okay? But you are right, there is indeed an emergency."

"What's the matter? I can't talk about it on the phone, so I need you to make this trip?" Qin Fen didn't take it seriously, and rushed to choke the road, intending to get revenge on him for torturing himself even after get off work.

"I told you I'm afraid you're afraid." Lu Yu shook his head with a look of disgust, and almost carved the words "dog bites Lu Dongbin" on Qin Fen's forehead with his eyes.After all, he walked into the office building of the Criminal Investigation Brigade first, took a look around, called Nie Wenxi to come forward, and praised: "It's just that serious civil servants are different, and the buildings are built with more style than ours."

Qin Fen didn't reply, his attention was all on the first half of Lu Yu's sentence.He thought to himself: What could scare him?Is it worth it for Lu Yu to take someone on this trip in person?Reminiscent of the victim who was discovered this morning when he was on the phone with Lu Yu before, a disturbing thought flashed through Qin Fen's mind: "Do you know where the murderer was this morning?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu glanced at him in surprise, with a childish expression on his face: "That's right, Qin Fen, you have a keen sense of smell and deserve praise."

"Is it in the bureau?" Qin Fen swallowed hard, "That thing is on my brothers, right?"

"That's what it means." Lu Yu nodded, and told Nie Wenxi, who was traveling with him, to walk faster and follow him closely.

"No, it's impossible, isn't it?" Qin Fen looked in disbelief, "Didn't it mean that our policemen are the most energetic, and ordinary ghosts can't get on their bodies?"

"You also said it's normal," Lu Yu spread his hands, "Besides, besides the upper body, the demon spirits have plenty of ways to toss your little life."

Qin Fen choked, and immediately panicked: "Then what should I do? These are people who have been with me for many years, I can't watch them have trouble!"

"What are you panicking, isn't it already being resolved?"

"Lu Yu, let me know first, what is that thing?" Qin Fen was uneasy, thinking that something would happen to his gang of brothers, he would panic.

"A demon spirit that can attach itself to a person's shadow, let's call it a shadow ghost."

"Shadow ghost? No wonder the mirrors in the victim's house were smashed," Qin Fen swallowed hard, "Then what should I do now?"

Lu Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the environment inside the building: "Find me a room first, the one with a mirror, the bigger the mirror, the better."

"...Success!" Qin Fen thought for a while, "We have a fighting room with a whole wall of big mirrors, okay?"

Lu Yu praised: "Okay! It's perfect." At the end, he told Qin Fen, "Gather all the people who have been to the scene of the crime today and the people they have met and contacted after they returned to the police station. Go too."

"Okay." Qin Fen called the deputy team and gave orders.To Lu Yu's surprise, although the group of people under Qin Fen seemed a little loose at ordinary times, when something happened, they acted neatly.After a while, the deputy team called Qin Fen back, saying that everyone was here.

"Then shall we go there too? Qin Fen hung up the phone, and hurriedly led Lu Yu and Nie Wenxi, who was silent and indifferent along the way, to the fighting room on the top floor.

"Okay." Lu Yu saw that Qin Fen was really nervous, so he found a topic and started talking to him: "By the way, after you came out of the crime scene this morning, have you been to other places besides the bureau?"

"As far as I know, no. I drove back to the bureau in a car. After confirming that the case could be dealt with together, we didn't even visit the neighbors." Qin Fen thought for a while and added, "Recently There is no case here, if you don’t go out to handle cases during working hours, you have to say hello to me when you go out, and no one came to report to me today.”

"Didn't go for the visit?" Although he knew that this was the best result, but hearing that Qin Fen was so easy, Lu Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You can go for a while."

Perhaps infected by Lu Yu's relaxed and calm mood, Qin Fen also gradually relaxed, seeing Lu Yu rolling his eyes at him, he was not angry, just scratched his head, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Hi! Didn't I save you trouble? Look, if we really go out to visit the masses, how many places will we have to go, and it won't help you find the murderer. "

"..." Lu Yu was so choked by him that he couldn't speak, and it took him a while to say bitterly, "You are the only one who is right!"

Qin Fen knew he was wrong, and began to change the topic without any trace: "Actually, I really planned to arrange for them to visit at the beginning."

"Why?" Lu Yu was puzzled and annoyed, "Aren't you going to leave it to me?"

"Because I can't be sure." Qin Fen said, "I can't be sure if it's the same criminal."

"What's going on?" Lu Yu stopped and said seriously, "The news I received didn't say that I couldn't be sure."

"It is certain, but the forensic doctor and the technical team came to verify it later and gave you the news." Qin Fen explained that he had something to say, but he didn't know what to say.Fortunately, Lu Yu has been with his brother Guo Guo for several years, so he can see his hesitation at a glance.

"So at first, you didn't think so."

"Hmm..." Qin Fen scratched his head, "Hey, why are you talking about this? It's proven that my idea is wrong."

"Why don't you talk about it, maybe it will help me." Lu Yu said seriously, "You are a veteran detective for many years, I don't think your knowledge is completely worthless."

"Well, it's actually a matter of feeling. The two cases give me different feelings."

"Feeling?" Lu Yu frowned, he didn't expect such an answer, he tried to understand, "You mean two victims, one was strangled and the other was hacked to death Yes, is it something like this? Although it’s not the same method, don’t you guys often say that serial murderers will upgrade their crime methods?”

"No, no, that's not the case. It has nothing to do with the modus operandi. The feeling I said refers to the emotion you perceive when you see the crime scene, the murderer's emotions. In the first case, the murderer enjoyed the moment of killing the victim. During the process, the whole scene had a strange feeling of cat and mouse, and you could feel that the murderer had been teasing the deceased before killing the murderer." Qin Fen paused and organized his words, "We often talk about serial murders. The murderer's criminal methods will be upgraded again and again, but this upgrade will not change the core. Some murderers kill with fear at their core, some with excitement, and some with joy or enjoyment. In this case, the murderer is obviously enjoying the killing process , Even if it is upgraded, the feeling of the scene should not change. But in the second case, I did not feel this sense of enjoyment.”

"Can you be more specific?"

"At the scene of the second crime, the whole scene didn't look like he was enjoying the death of the victim, but more like the murderer venting his anger..."

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes for an instant, a thought flashed through his mind, but he couldn't catch it.So he started to follow Qin Fen's thinking. According to the evidence they have now, it can be deduced that the two victims were indeed killed by the same murderer, so why did a murderer commit two crimes? Will have a completely different state of mind?

Is the environment changing it?Or did the victim itself provoke it?

Are there any glaring differences between the two victims?

Yes, the most obvious one should be the gender of the two parties, but Luyu does not think that gender is the fundamental factor causing this emotional change, because the shadow ghost enjoys a great right to choose independently in the mirror, and it can choose what it likes. Sex started, but it didn't.

Sex alone doesn't seem to piss it off to this degree.

So what else?

"Qin Fen, if you think about it, is there any huge difference between the second victim's house and the first victim's? Huge enough to be a reason for him to vent his anger."

"I can't think of it..." Qin Fen frowned and thought for a while, "If I have to say one thing, I think it's probably a mirror."

"Mirror?"

"That's right, after I entered his house, the things that impressed me the most were those smashed mirrors."

When he said this, Lu Yu immediately remembered, this time because of time constraints, Lu Yu didn't have time to go to the second victim's house for re-examination, and the impression of these mirrors was not particularly deep.But as soon as Qin Fen mentioned it, he remembered that he had seen a description of the mirrors and glass in the victim's home in the file - all the mirrors in the house, and all the objects that could reflect images, were smashed.

"I think what you said is very possible." Lu Yu affirmed Qin Fen's guess, and Captain Qin immediately lifted his spirits: "Why is that guy angry at the smashed mirrors? Those smashed mirrors have something to do with him." Does it have a special meaning?"

"In fact, there are. For Shadow Ghost, the mirror is its home. Being smashed by a target it doesn't look at at all, this feeling of humiliation and aggrievedness will definitely make it very frustrated. So it is not difficult to understand why it would hack the second victim to death to vent its anger."

It seems that Shadow Ghost really can't bear to smash the mirror.

Lu Yu rolled his eyes, and suddenly had a bold new idea in his heart.
