criminal profiling

When Shi Ke returned to the office, the reinforcements also arrived. After introducing the basic situation, Zhuang Sheng announced his profile to everyone before departure.

"The murderer has a doomsday delusional mental illness. He thinks he is living in a doomsday world full of monsters. In order to escape these monsters and other possible dangers, he hides in the mountains.

"He is afraid of the crowd, because in his view, it may not be the same kind, but some kind of monster imagined to eat human beings. All the attacks of the murderer, in his eyes, are not killing people, but self-defense."

Xu Jie raised his hand and asked, "Dr. Zhuang, did the murderer think he was living in an environment like "Resident Evil" or "The Walking Dead"? Then, did he treat the people he killed as zombies?"

No wonder the wounds are all in one place, you have to hit the head when you fight a zombie.

For some reason, Zhuang Sheng hadn't watched the film and television works with the theme of doomsday zombies - but he had read the text description and related film reviews, so he could imagine what kind of background it was.

However, it is not known whether the murderer has seen these.So Zhuang Sheng neither nodded nor shook his head, but explained seriously:

"The hallucinations produced by the murderer may come from what he has come into contact with in real life, or it may come from the heart without any prototype reference. Judging from his choice of avoiding the world and killing methods, the world he knows has been lost, and human beings have turned into monsters , only a small number of people survived." Zhuang Sheng said this, looked up at everyone present, and confessed with a serious expression.

"The murderer is very dangerous, because he treats people as monsters and is merciless; but at the same time, he still has good intentions. If he encounters other 'survivors', he will not kill them, and even if the other party is in trouble, he will not kill them." Will help.

"He was a vicious murderer, but also a good man who helped those in need.

"This is not contradictory, because the former is aimed at 'monsters', while the latter is aimed at 'human beings'."

Or Xu Jie raised his hand, "Then how did the murderer distinguish between 'zombies' and 'humans'?"

Zhuang Sheng did not correct what Xu Jie said about "zombies". Perhaps in the eyes of the murderer, those he killed were definitely "zombies" that ate the flesh and blood of living people.

"...At present, it is not very clear how the murderer defines monsters and people, but judging from several disappearance cases, people who are left alone are more likely to be eliminated as monsters. Therefore, in the search process, it is best to pair up The team must not be dispersed."

When Zhuang Sheng was speaking, except Shi Ke and Xu Xie, everyone else looked at him with strange eyes.The expression on his face seemed to say: Make it up, keep making it up, let me see how big your brain is.

If it wasn't for the presence of Shi Ke, the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team of the city bureau, maybe they wouldn't sit here and listen quietly to Zhuang Sheng's words.

However, although they didn't believe Zhuang Sheng's words, it was true that at least two murders occurred in this area.Therefore, whether it is a lunatic with a sick mind and fantasy world occupied by zombies, or a killer who has committed many murders and fled to the mountains, they are all the targets they want to arrest anyway.

Although the thought is not unified, the action is the same.

Does not affect the overall situation.

-

Shi Ke led the team to search the mountain again. This time he not only borrowed a police dog, but also applied for a detection instrument, which is specially used to detect whether there are bones buried in the ground.

The search area was mainly focused on the direction where the two bodies were found.

This time, Zhuang Sheng proposed to enter the mountain with the team, but Shi Ke did not agree.He treated Zhuang Sheng very kindly, and highly affirmed Zhuang Sheng's contribution in this case - but, no matter how much Zhuang Sheng asked, he would not let go, and finally blurted out in a hurry.

"If I let you follow, I can't explain to Brother Meng if something happens."

Zhuang Sheng: "..."

Shi Ke, who knew he had made a slip of the tongue, showed an annoyed look, and finally broke the jar and shook it all out.

"Xiao Zhuang, why didn't you tell me about your acquaintance with Second Brother Meng? He specifically told me not to allow you to participate in dangerous actions. If it is really necessary, he will come forward in person." In fact, Shi Ke was more interested. What is the relationship between these two people? When they met at the bar last time, they pretended not to know each other, but turned around and Meng Yan told him many times secretly like taking care of his son.

Zhuang Sheng stopped talking, Shi Ke looked at his expression and couldn't tell whether he was angry or not.Thinking of Meng Yan's special confession on the phone, saying that this child has strong self-esteem, it's best not to say it out, even if he protects it, try to be as natural as possible without any traces - he is a doctor, and he is not a real child, so he can't hide it at all Well.

Complaining in his heart and feeling a little apprehensive, if Zhuang Sheng insisted on following, Shi Ke would have nothing to do - he couldn't tie him up with a rope.

"Xiao Zhuang, you are here to provide us with technical support, and I will notify you as soon as there is any news." Finally, after reassuringly speaking, Shi Ke took the others away.

After Shi Ke left, Zhuang Sheng sat quietly for a while, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

The phone rang for a while, no one answered, and finally hung up automatically.Zhuang Sheng frowned. This kind of situation was not unfamiliar to him. When he was a child, he often faced it, and it was not a good experience.

Zhuang Sheng called once but didn't get through, so he put away the phone, he didn't want him to go up the mountain just because he had other things to do.He made statistics on the missing persons cases in Song County over the years, and screened them according to time, place, and results to see if he could find any useful clues.

-

When Zhuang Sheng called Meng Yan, he was pointing a gun at the back of a man's head.

The dark and abandoned underground parking lot, the walls are peeling off, and there are traces of graffiti everywhere.The man knelt on the concrete floor with his hands behind his head, crying with snot and tears, but he didn't dare to wipe them with his hands.

"I don't know, I really don't know anything, please don't kill me." A big man didn't feel embarrassed crying like this. On the contrary, he looked at the man with the gun, his eyes showed real fear.

There was no expression on Meng Yan's face. The man had been crying in front of him for almost 10 minutes. He was not impatient, and there was only a look of indifference in his eyes. He seemed to have pulled away all the emotions in his body, and nothing could shake him. ambition.

The hand holding the gun was as steady as a rock. Amidst the man's crying and begging for mercy, Meng Yan's voice was so steady that there was no fluctuation or emotion.

"Ask again, where is he?"

The man cried even louder, "I, I really don't know, he just asked me to report your situation, we all contact by email, I don't know where he is!"

Meng Yan's words were more concise, "Email address."

The man was crying and trembling, with a struggling expression on his face, as if he was making a choice between a painful death and a happy death.Meng Yan's hand holding the gun dropped slightly, and the man suddenly broke down and shouted:

"I said! I said!"

Meng Yan retracted the gun, took out a pen and notepad from his pocket, and handed them over. The man wrote a series of things on it with trembling hands.While writing, he whispered, "He will kill me, he will definitely kill me."

Meng Yan looked indifferent, unmoved.

After receiving the notebook from the man, Meng Yan put it in his pocket and packed it.He was dressed in a silver-gray suit and his leather shoes were polished brightly. He was out of tune with the damp and gloomy environment here, more like attending a high-end business reception.

The sound of leather shoes "da da" sounded in the empty underground garage, from near to far.

Looking at Meng Yan's receding figure, the man let out a breath and wiped his face with his sleeve indiscriminately.

That person's aura was too terrifying. Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't control his body's instinctive reaction when he faced it. As before, half of him was acting, and half was the real reaction of his body.

The man slowly got up from the ground, and the expression of nervousness and fear just now on his face was gone.He was not in a hurry to leave, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and dialed a number with his mobile phone in one hand.

When the phone was connected, he didn't wait for the person on the other end to speak, and his tone was respectful with a hint of flattery.

"Tell him as you ordered."

Someone said something on the other end of the phone, and the man's expression became even more flattering, and he nodded and bowed while speaking.

"No hard work, no hard work, my honor."

The phone was hung up, and the man still had something to say.He took a puff of the cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke ring, as if he had accomplished something proud, with his hands in his pockets, he shook his head and walked forward with the cigarette in his mouth.

The walking figure suddenly froze, and then slowly fell backwards.

The cigarette in his mouth was still in his mouth, and it didn't fall out.

The man's eyes were wide open, staring straight at the ceiling.

In the middle of the forehead, there was a small hole, from which warm and bright red blood slowly flowed out.

——I will die with my eyes closed.

-

Meng Yan returned to his car, took out his mobile phone and looked, only to find that there was a missed call on it.He stared at the name on it, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and his expression softened unconsciously.The aura of indifference and isolation from the previous moment dissipated immediately, as if returning from a cold and dark underground world to the sunny world.

After hesitating for a while, Meng Yan didn't call back immediately, he edited a text message and sent it out.The text message was sent successfully, and then returned to the interface just now, with a light touch of the finger, the name was highlighted.

The phone rang twice before it was picked up.

The smile in Meng Yan's eyes became more obvious, and his voice was so gentle that water could drip out.

"Shengsheng, are you looking for me?"

Zhuang Sheng on the other end of the phone hadn't recovered from his senses. He was stunned for a while, and took the phone up to his eyes to look at it. He was sure it was that person's name—he searched for information too seriously just now, and he didn't even think about subconsciously when the ring rang. He picked it up, and only realized who it was when he heard the voice.

At this time, Zhuang Sheng had almost forgotten why he made that call, and now when he heard Meng Yan's question on the phone, he subconsciously answered.

"what?"

——At this time, his mind was actually full of information about the case at hand, and he was habitually running at a high speed. He only allocated a little energy to deal with the call, and his thinking was inevitably a little slow.

"Why, did you miss me?" He teased casually, and the smile on his lips never faded—Meng Yan seemed to be able to imagine the young man's dazed look at this moment, he must have done his homework too seriously like when he was a child, There was no reaction to what was being fed in his mouth, and he just chewed unconsciously.

"No, I'm thinking about the case." Subconsciously replied, Zhuang Sheng's thoughts were finally pulled away from the complicated case information, and he realized that he was talking on the phone with Meng Yan at this time.

"...the case is difficult?"

"A little bit." After a pause, Zhuang Sheng asked on the phone, "Do you want to listen?"

Meng Yan's voice seemed to contain a slight smile, "Shengsheng said, I will listen."

Zhuang Sheng pursed his lips, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth to briefly state the case.At the end, he said in a calm tone, with a bit of stubbornness: "Although it sounds absurd, I believe in my own judgment."

"Well, I also believe in Shengsheng's judgment." Meng Yan's answer was without hesitation at all, and he didn't even use his brain. His tone was gentle and gentle, as if he was coaxing his own lovely child.

Zhuang Sheng, who was easy to fool when he was young, is not so easy to fool when he grows up.At least, after a few words, he finally remembered his purpose of calling Meng Yan.

"You told Shi Ke to look at me?"

There was a suspicious silence on the other end of the phone, and Zhuang Sheng pursed his lips, showing a little displeasure.

Team leader Meng Da, who was able to handle any complicated situation with ease, was unable to answer a single question from Zhuang Sheng, so he hesitated for a while and simply talked about other things.

"Shengsheng, since you're back, let's have a meal at home, my eldest sister misses you."

The other party brought out the elders, and it was Zhuang Sheng's turn to remain silent.He didn't intend to question Meng Yan at first. He wanted to call at that time, maybe he just wanted to listen to this person's words like he is now.

"I'll pay a visit when I'm done."

Hanging up the phone, thinking of the other party's last words that were obviously polite and alienated, Meng Yan felt lost.

In eight years, a lot has changed.

After a while, the mobile phone beeped a notification tone.The melancholy on Meng Yan's face hadn't completely dissipated, but the temperature in his eyes dropped.

He picked up his phone and clicked on it. It was a string of gibberish characters.

Meng Yan opened an email login interface, entered the user name, and entered the string of characters in the password.

Click to Login.

The mailbox was clean, except for one unread email.

Seeing this situation, Meng Yan opened the email without showing the slightest surprise.

This email is as clean as a mailbox, with only one short line:

——I'mcoming.
