Chapter 1632 The Killer (Please vote for me!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!!)

After a burst of output from the director general, many high-level officials could speak.

Saji raised his hand: "Director, we have some clues about the serial murder case."

Logically speaking, Kai is in charge of the special department, and he should be reporting to the director, but Kai often does not go to work, so Saji became the actual deputy director, and he also attended high-level meetings, most of which are high-level Managers, and Saji is the head of the first-line department, almost.

But...the reality is this, Saji enjoyed the promotion in advance.

When the director heard the news, he immediately felt relieved. At least his men were not all trash.

"Thank you, Sage, that's the only good news I hear these days."

The director's words are definitely exaggerated. The New York Police Department is strong and strong, and the detection rate is still quite high. At least judging from the results on paper, it is definitely worthy of praise.But the problem is that the public doesn't see it that way, they don't really care how many cases the police department solves, they care more about the ones that don't!
The more bizarre the more attention!

So many times, it is really unfair to be a policeman. After solving so many cases with so much hard work, one has to bear the responsibility if one case is not solved...

But the reality is like this. After all, it is a public sector, and it must be responsible to the public.

"Tell me! What's the progress?"

The director has also worked on the front line and knows that solving cases is actually quite mysterious.Most of the cases are actually not difficult. They can't be like detective TV series, where every episode has weird cases... If you have to go through that kind of life every day, absolutely no one would want to be a police officer.

In fact, many crimes are impromptu, and it is easy to obtain evidence and arrest people.After all, there is evidence everywhere and there is no shortage of surveillance in modern society, so it would be even easier.

But some cases just can't be solved.

Especially those seemingly unrelated serial murder cases... Fortunately, this kind of case, if a police station encounters it once in decades, it is considered a winning prize.

So it's not too bad.

"We found the connection between all the victims!" Saji said, with a little pride in his tone.

After all, all departments were scolded, so they were fine, so of course they were proud.

Saji quickly took out the evidence, which was a circus brochure.

"circus!"

It is said to be a circus, but it is actually a freak show troupe... Freak shows originated in the United States in the 19s and reached their peak in the following three to forty years.In that era when cultural entertainment was scarce, "freak shows" that attracted people's attention with horror and novelty were very popular. Most of them cooperated with circuses, and the content of the performances was also strange.For example, people who are extremely tall, people who have both male and female secondary sexual characteristics, or people or animals with other weird conditions; performances such as swallowing fire and sword can also become the content of the exhibition; in addition, some extreme tattoos and piercings are sometimes Also seen in freak shows. The term "freak show" is generally considered inappropriate and dehumanizing.

In the United States, except for Michigan, which legally prohibits the behavior of displaying deformed humans except for the purpose of scientific research, freak shows in carnivals, exhibitions, nightclubs and TV talk shows in most other states and other countries are still from time to time. Appear.

Naturally, New York State does not prohibit it.

However, with the development of the times, this kind of novelty hunting circus has become less and less viable.Firstly, it is easy to be targeted by human rights organizations, and secondly, there are too many channels for modern people to receive information, so that kind of weird freak show is nothing.

"This is a carnival-type circus that likes to hold carnivals across the country. We found out that all the families of the victims participated in this circus last year. This is one of their connections!"

"But what does this mean? You know, there are many people who have been to the circus."

A high-level question.

It's not that the higher-ups don't like Saji... Even if they don't like it, they have to endure it because others have a backer.It's very helpless to say that Kai doesn't take part in the struggle for power in the police station... Don't think that this doesn't happen in the police station. On the contrary, this phenomenon exists in any organization. After all, the struggle for power is only related to power and has nothing to do with the attributes of the organization. Especially FIFA has a power struggle. (The power struggle in FIFA is quite fierce. If you are interested, you can check it online. It is a lively event)
Many people are actually happy to see Kay join the power struggle...of course not because they really support Kay or anything...It is impossible for politicians to have such emotions, they only calculate power!If Kai joins the power struggle, it means that the original power structure will be broken, and the next step will be to reshuffle the cards!

This is for guys looking to fish in troubled waters -- especially the underdogs.

Although the police chief and police commissioner are directly appointed by the mayor, this also requires a power struggle. The words of the chief and the commissioner have nothing to do with the appointment of the mayor!

Regulations are regulations, and execution is execution.

No matter what the rules are, they need people to enforce them.

No matter how you are the director and commissioner, if the people below don't care about you, you can't do anything.

So even when the mayor appointed the chief of the police department, he would not pick anyone at random.You must be able to hold down the people below!So the director needs a resume!On the contrary, the commissioner is not needed. The commissioner is a civilian and can be selected by the mayor, even if he has no relationship with the police station before, but not the police chief!
So the current director can take over the position, and the direct relationship with the mayor is actually not too big!
He was just following the trend, and the mayor would not do anything special unless there was a big conflict between the mayor and the director.

He's just the winner of the power struggle.

There are winners and there are losers, and those losers are naturally not happy to see their opponents sit safely on the throne of the director.

So Kai became the best choice to break the game.If Kay is upset with the new chief and trips him up, that would be great, there will definitely be a group of people willing to help and overthrow the chief!
But it's a pity that if Kai doesn't participate in these things, the director will naturally reciprocate.The key is that those losers have no good way to counter Kai.If Kai stood on the director's side, and the director would directly cleanse his political opponents, then there would be no mercy.

So the high-level question just now was not because he was upset with Saji... Even if he was really upset, he would not jump out.As for whether anyone is unhappy with Saji... only God knows.

That guy questioned Saji, it was just the instinct of the police, he would ask other people, even if other people didn't ask, when the time came to the court, the prosecutor would still ask.

This is normal.

"We have investigated and found that the carnival held a lottery for families. If the whole family comes to the carnival, with the family ticket, they will have the opportunity to receive a reward from the carnival. And this event requires all family members information and address."

Everyone nodded now, which can explain how the murderer got the victim's information.

"In addition, we combined the family information of all the victims with the information obtained from our police visits, and found that these families, regardless of their economic status or education level, have a common characteristic, which is family harmony and mutual respect between family members. The relationship is very harmonious.”

"We believe that the murderer seems to be targeting those happy families!"

The director looked at the information submitted by Saji and curled his lips: "This is really bad news! This guy is a lunatic! What else?"

"We contacted psychological experts, who gave a guess based on the characteristics of the victim."

"All victims are in the status of 'children' in the family. The murderer killed those 'children'. Apart from jealousy, it is more likely that he hoped that he could replace those 'children'. He wanted to integrate into the family! Or Said he wanted a happy family."

"Experts have given inclinometer measurements and believe that the murderer must have experienced abandonment, and may even have been adopted, but he did not have a good childhood. He must have been abused. He longed for the warmth of his family and his parents' favor."

"Then we followed the clues and went to investigate the circus. That circus is now performing in Alabama, but luckily we contacted them and got some clues." Then Saji took out some photos again .

There are also some promotional brochures.

Among them was a blue figure known as Nightcrawler, one of the circus freak show performers.

This guy has blue skin, yellow eyes, pointy ears, fangs, a long pointed tail, and wears a circus tights.

"His name is Kurt Wagner, and he fits all the profiles. He was adopted long ago by a gypsy fortune-teller in a circus, where he grew up. But you know, the freak show guys... Most of them are marginalized people excluded by society. His adoptive mother was an alcoholic, so he had a bad life since he was a child. After coming to New York, his adoptive mother finally died, a normal death, here is the certificate of the hospital. Then He disappeared."

"Missing? They didn't call the police?" asked a senior executive.

"Since the birth of the freak show, many people with body deformities have regarded it as a refuge because it is difficult for them to live in normal society. Only in a place full of heterogeneous people will they not be discriminated against. But also because of such a special environment , they are also out of touch with normal society. Apart from performing, they will not have contact with outsiders, and they do not like contact with the outside world, so they did not choose to call the police regarding the disappearance of Kurt Wagner."

Saji said.

"Hmm..." The director looked at the photo of Kurt Wagner: "Is this guy wearing makeup?"

After all, this looks too strange.

"No, he just looks like this. Since he has been performing acrobatics in the circus for a long time, most people think he is wearing makeup. I suspect... that he is a mutant. As for what kind of ability... I don't know, we I have asked people at the circus, and they don’t know what Kurt Wagner’s abilities are. They originally thought that he just looked weird. We suspect that his special abilities have been suppressed by his adoptive mother until his adoptive mother After he died, he no longer cared about it, and maybe even his perverted behavior was caused by the death of his adoptive mother."

"Didn't his adoptive mother treat him badly?"

"I don't understand either, but our experts say that the adoptive mother was a sustenance in Kurt Wagner's mind. When the sustenance was gone, his mentality changed, which caused his transformation... you know, psychological Learning always sounds confusing to those of us who don’t understand.”

"That's right... Anyway, no matter what, it's good to catch this guy!" The director is too lazy to care about this, as long as he knows who the murderer is... In fact, it doesn't matter whether this blue-skinned guy is the murderer, he just needs an explanation enough!

"Then what's the progress in arresting him?" the director asked expectantly.

"I'm sorry...no. The carnival lasted for a month in total, from before Christmas to New Year. During this time, too many people participated in this event. We got a list from the circus. At least a few eligible families. Hundreds, we don’t know how he will choose his next target. As for where he hid after disappearing, we don’t know. So we hope that the bureau can issue a wanted warrant so that we can get more clues.”

Don't underestimate the idlers in New York, as long as the photos are released, a bunch of people are willing to provide clues. Of course, it's hard to tell if it's true... There are too many idlers in New York, those who like to take pictures everywhere with their mobile phones...

"But..." The director hesitated a little.

After all, this guy is a bit of an eyesore, especially at this juncture. You must know that the government's strategy against mutants has changed, focusing on coaxing and appeasing them.

If this arrest warrant has any bad effects... Don't underestimate the power of idlers in society. They may be useless in doing business, but it's easy to fan the flames and create confrontation.

If that happens, the higher ups should be dissatisfied with him.

"Our police force is limited, and it is not enough to protect all the families on the list. If we don't do this, it will be very difficult for us. Kurt Wagner grew up in a circus and has no contact with the outside world. There is no social relationship at all. We checked and found that he didn't even have a driver's license, so we couldn't even find him."

Saji put the difficulties outright.

After thinking about it, the director decided to forget it.He couldn't stand the serial murders, so he turned his head and said to the public relations department: "Issuing the arrest warrant, and when the regular press conference is held, bring the psychologist and talk more about the abuse and encounters. Dilute the elements of mutants, remember to guide public opinion, and don't let public opinion fall into the contradiction between mutants and normal people."

"Yes!"

A good police chief does not need much ability to handle cases, but his sensitivity to public opinion must not be low, especially in a poor place like New York... If you are not a New Yorker, you can't imagine how picky and bitter the New York media is.

Those bastards can drive normal people crazy!
