Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 327 Random
After finishing some preparatory work, the three of them arrived at Blue Lake Airport by plane.

At the exit of the airport, Feng Guozhu leaned against the car, the cigarette butt in his hand flickering.In front, three young men, two men and one woman, came over behind the subordinate.

All three seem to be quite young.

Are these three people sent by the superior to investigate the case?
At the beginning, when Feng Guozhu heard that his superiors said that the investigation of the case would be restarted and that elite forces would be dispatched to undertake the investigation task, he was still very excited.But now there is a little hesitation.

These three people don't look like old criminal investigators...

After flicking off the cigarette butt, Feng Guozhu greeted him with a smile on his face.

"welcome……"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, several people drove to the Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau in a car.

Along the way, looking at the scenery of Blue Lake City through the window, Lu Ming sighed inwardly.

I don't know what kind of story and what kind of test they will face this time.This time, I don't know what will happen in the end.

One of the characteristics of supernatural incidents is that no one can predict what kind of case it is and what is involved until it is really investigated and closed.

Maybe a seemingly ordinary beginning, develops into a shocking case in the end, and even involves the life and death of the entire civilization.Or maybe the beginning is extremely grand, like some great case, and when it develops to the end, it turns out that only a very small aspect is involved.

It was for this reason that the people in the research room could not classify the case at the beginning of the incident and hand it over to someone who was really good at this type of case.

But having said that, with so many action teams in the Operation Department, there seems to be no clear classification, such as which type this team is good at, which type that team is good at, and so on.They always deal with whatever cases they encounter, and there is no room for picking and choosing.

This time too.

"I hope this time the involvement can be a little smaller, don't make such a big scene every now and then. It's always like this, my heart can't stand it..."

Lu Ming murmured silently in his heart.

Arriving at the Public Security Bureau in a short time, all welcome parties and the like were free at Zhang Dingshan's request.Feng Guozhu, who was nearly fifty years old, took on the responsibility of contacting the second action team and the local government agencies, and dispatched a special team to directly follow the orders of the second action team.

Feng Guozhu was quietly observing the three young people.He felt that the young man called the captain among the three seemed to have discovered his observation.But he doesn't seem to care.

Do you encounter this kind of situation often, so you are used to it?These three people seem to be very experienced?Have similar strange cases happened elsewhere?
Observing in secret, Feng Guozhu did not neglect on the surface, and went all out to meet and cooperate with any request of the three.

After settling in, the first case analysis meeting was held.Zhang Dingshan also released several directions from the previous internal discussions, and arranged for manpower to do it.

At this moment, it has been two months since Zeng Jian committed suicide.During this period, the special case team came and went, and now the second action team took over the case and came here.

Starting with Zeng Jian's suicide, after that, the security officers increased their attention and investigation of suicide cases.In this way, another 17 unreasonable suicide cases were screened out during this period.The bodies of the deceased in these 17 suicide cases, together with Zeng Jian, were not cremated.

In this way, it facilitates the genetic examination decided by the second action team.

A total of [-] biological samples were quickly collected and sent to the laboratory for genetic analysis as quickly as possible.

The results will take about two days to come out.During these two days, the security guards obeyed the order of the second action team and began to investigate the occupations and skills of the deceased.

Occupation and proficiency are two different concepts.What you are good at does not necessarily mean what direction you are working in.Just as some programmers are good at fishing, some chefs are also good at carpentry.

Statistics in this area are much more extensive, involving a total of about 500 abnormal suicide deaths in the past ten years.

With the hard work of the security guards, the statistics on this aspect quickly came to fruition.

In the internal conference room, only Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Ming were present.Looking at these results, Lu Ming mused, "I'm afraid I can't make up any demand from these professions and skills."

Because these people's occupations and proficiency skills do not have any special direction.

If these people are experts in a certain field, such as doctors, chemists, mathematicians, construction workers, etc., or a combination of the above different occupations, it is easy to make certain judgments based on this.

But it is clear that these victims are ordinary.Their occupations and skills are also popular.For example, delivery staff, company employees, restaurant owners, teachers and the like.Good skills are nothing more than basketball, football, heavy drinking, good cooking skills, high card skills, stable driving, etc., and they are also very popular.

If these people are all "escape from feigning death", then at most these people can only form a group of ordinary people.It doesn't make sense at all.

Zhang Dingshan said: "I have noticed that among the dead in these abnormal suicide cases, the proportion of 'high-end people' is extremely small."

The high-end group refers to those who have a higher social status.Officials of a certain level, celebrities, rich men, artists, etc.In the statistics of the dead, there are less than 500 such people out of a total of about 20 people.

He Wei asked puzzledly: "What? That force hidden behind the scenes is still picking people to commit crimes? Just picking ordinary people?"

This doesn't seem reasonable.

If these are ordinary suicides that do not involve supernatural forces, and those people commit suicide because of brain tics, then there is no evidence that the high-end crowd has a lower rate of brain tics than ordinary people.That is, the numbers of the two populations should be approximately equal.

In fact, Lu Ming believes that it is possible that high-end people have a higher probability of brain twitching.Because generally speaking, high-end people are more stressed and think more.On the contrary, ordinary people, limited by the pressure of life, don't have so much time to think about what they have and what they don't.

If supernatural power was involved, and it was a hidden force behind the scenes who planned these abnormal suicides, then it seemed a bit low-key to have already mastered this power, and to focus on ordinary people.

Unless there is any special purpose.

Currently insufficient data are available for further analysis.Lu Ming can only write down this doubtful point and related data first, and leave it for later analysis.

"Currently there is no evidence to prove the possibility of 'escape from suspended animation'. This direction can be put aside temporarily. If new evidence emerges in the future or events hint at this possibility, it will be picked up again."

"I agree."

After some discussion, several people agreed on this point.

The next day, the genetic analysis results of a total of 18 people came back.

Lu Ming glanced at it, and saw that there were a lot of identical genes listed above.

But there is a problem that none of these same genes are scarce, and they are all relatively popular genes.

One of the rarest genes, the average human possession rate is about [-]%.That is to say, there are about [-] million people in the world with this gene.

This number is too much, and cannot be used as the basis for identifying "there are similarities in genes".

Although the probability of picking eighteen people at random and each of them having the gene with a rate of only [-]% seems very low, it cannot be calculated in this way here.Because there are a lot of genes like this one percent possession rate.

Commonly owned by [-] people, there is no A gene and B gene, and there is no B gene and C gene.As long as the number of genes is enough, it is not a small probability event that a gene with a [-]% ownership rate happens to be shared by eighteen people, and it is not worth paying attention to.

This direction can also be temporarily ruled out.

Although he had already mentally prepared for the fact that this case would not be easy to find out, but at this moment, when these two possibilities were temporarily ruled out, Lu Ming still felt a little helpless in his heart.

I don't know where the breakthrough is, and I don't know where the entry point is.

"Is it really a random crime? This is difficult..."

Randomly selecting targets to commit crimes means great difficulties for both routine investigations and unconventional investigations at the moment.

Since he joined the second action team and came into contact with many things that he didn't know when he was an ordinary person, many of Lu Ming's previous cognitions have been overturned.

In the past, under the influence of film and television works or novels, Lu Ming always thought that the kind of high-IQ crime that can make security officers and police detectives rack their brains until they lose their hair is very powerful.Although he himself has no urge to commit crimes, he has also tried to conceive the so-called "perfect murder", trying to find a way to kill a person without leaving any traces.

But now, Lu Ming knows very clearly that the so-called high-IQ murder, the so-called perfect murder, such as intentionally leaving some misleading clues, are all nonsense.It doesn't exist at all in reality.

The ever-changing criminal investigation methods make all the so-called perfect murders a joke.On the contrary, it is the simplest and most simple way of killing, random killing is the most difficult to detect.At least it is much harder to detect than the so-called perfect murder.

A person who has no criminal record fled to another place, randomly selected a person, stabbed him to death without monitoring and no one else, and then fled. This case was extremely difficult for the security officers to solve.

Now, the case in front of him showed some signs of random crimes.

Random crimes, coupled with the intervention of supernatural forces, are even more difficult.

In the office, the three fell into a long silence.

After a long time, Lu Ming said: "Even if the crime was committed randomly, and it was a non-contact killing through the medium of some supernatural force, the murderer or the forces behind the scenes must have at least had contact with the victim, right? Otherwise, how would he know the victim's identity?" exist?"

To kill a person, whether it is through ordinary contact or non-contact supernatural power, the murderer must first know that there is this person.

A certain security guard in a certain community in a certain city thousands of kilometers away, no matter how powerful the murderer is, it is impossible to kill him.

You don't even know this person exists, how can you kill him?

"So, how did the forces behind the scenes know about these victims?"

Once the thinking is opened, the subsequent combing will be much smoother.

"There are only two ways to know the victim. One is the reality, and the other is the Internet. There are only two methods. One is direct contact and knowledge. The second is indirect contact and knowledge. The combination of two is a total of four ways.

We don't know exactly which method the behind-the-scenes forces used to select the victims, but, whether in reality or on the Internet, we can believe that there is a certain overlap between the behind-the-scenes forces and the dead.

It is more likely that the dead entered a certain area and were discovered by the behind-the-scenes forces before finally becoming the target. "

He Wei raised an objection: "Why can't it be the forces behind the scenes or the murderer running around, actively entering the area where the dead are active, discovering the dead and targeting them?"

Lu Ming shook his head: "I don't have solid evidence. It's just that this kind of unreasonable suicide case only exists in Blue Lake City on a large scale, but not in other cities. This seems to indicate that the forces behind the scenes are not actively discovering the target of the crime."

In other words, the forces behind the scenes or the murderer are "lazy".He or they don't even bother with Blue Lake City.

He Wei continued to question: "Maybe it's just restricted for some reason, they can only commit crimes in one city? But it's entirely possible that they are not fixed within the city."

"There is indeed such a possibility." Lu Ming agreed with He Wei's objection.He continued: "However, judging only from the tendency at present, the murderer or the forces behind the scenes have a fixed area of ​​activity, and the possibility that the victims came to this area and had direct or indirect contact with him is relatively high."

He Wei was thoughtful.

"If this is the case, then it is reflected in the trajectory of the victim's activities that there must be a certain overlapping area. This overlapping area is likely to be the area where the behind-the-scenes forces are active."

Zhang Dingshan tapped on the table lightly: "Check this line of thinking first. If it doesn't work, then talk about something else."

At this stage, it is a process of continuous trial and error.Regardless of whether the inference is correct or not, check it first before speaking.

What can be found is the best.It doesn't matter if you can't find it.

"Alright. Then check it out. I'll check the actual scope of activities."

Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Ming: "Go and check the scope of network activities."

"Yes."

Lu Ming found some network experts, obtained traces of the deceased's network activities before they were alive, and immediately began to investigate the overlapping areas of their network activities.

A certain forum, a certain website, or a certain group, or a certain chat room are all within the scope of investigation.

Members of the special case team have also investigated the network activities of the deceased before, and retrieved call records, communication records, chat records, etc.But none of those things showed value, and the line was abandoned.
