Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

Let’s go back to the murder case of He Shuimei in 1990.

After eating, pc1486 and Yuan Fugui returned to the office.

pc1486 asked, "Inspector Yuan, do you have any thoughts on this case?"

At this time, Yuan Fugui has read all the files. She believes that the breakthrough in this case lies in the informant, the person nicknamed Contra.

At that time, Contra called the police station to report that the murderer was Fire Phoenix.

This phone call was recorded by the police station.

Yuan Fugui found a mini tape recorder and played the tape. There was Contra's voice on the tape. He was very young. At that time, Contra was only in his 20s.

"How can we find someone with just a tape?" asked pc1486.

"Actually, this tape and the name of Contra have given us the direction to investigate the case."

"What?" pc1486 was stunned.

Yuan Fugui said:

In fact, the police had been mistaken all along, thinking that the murderer was Fire Phoenix.

At the same time, he thinks that Contra is a good friend of Fire Phoenix.

But conversely, if the murderer is not Huo Fenghuang at all, and Contra's purpose of making this call is not to inform, the purpose is to frame Huo Fenghuang as the murderer.

"Bring the blame?"

"Correct."

Yuan Fugui continued to state,

I guess this case might be like this:

A female murderer killed He Shuimei for some reason. After killing the person, she saw the murder case being published in newspapers and news.

The female murderer was very scared at the time and didn't know what to do, so she found a good friend of hers, the kind who was good enough to tell secrets, that is, Contra.

So Contra and the real murderess are close friends.

The female murderer truthfully told Contra about her murder. After hearing this, Contra decided to help the female murderer.

But the murder is a fact, what should we do?

Put the blame on. Only blame.

Contra then began to look for a target to blame, and he thought of a woman named Fire Phoenix.

This woman is very similar to the female murderer in terms of body shape and age.

Moreover, Huo Fenghuang is the third-in-command of a certain society and is originally a gangster.

So Contra thought: If he informed the police that the murderer was Huo Fenghuang, then the police would definitely invite Huo Fenghuang to the police station for questioning.

Facing such a gangster, there is no way to trust what the gangster said. The police might just arrest Huo Fenghuang and convict her.

In this way, Contra can save the murderess and make her okay.

That's why Contra made a report to the police station from the phone booth and made up, "I know what happened. The murderer is my friend named Fire Phoenix."

So, I guess, that's why that whistleblower call came about.

The informant may not know Fire Phoenix, but has only heard of the name.

Yuan Fugui finished speaking.

After hearing this, pc1486 agreed, "But if this is really the case, how can we find Contra? It's just a fake name."

"Actually, the search target has been narrowed down to a certain range."

"Shrunk?"

"Yes." Yuan Fugui smiled, "That's the pseudonym."

she says:

I just searched on the Internet and found that "Contra" is a classic game that was released in 1987.

The case occurred in 1990.

At that time, games were not popular in every household. To play games, there were no Internet cafes, only electronic arcades opened on the streets.

Since the informant used the name "Contra".

It shows that the informant likes playing games very much and is a young man, so he thought of the name "Contra" and blurted it out when he was informing.

Then, let’s combine it with the name Fire Phoenix.

Huo Fenghuang was the third-in-command of a certain society. At that time, there were many societies in K City, and each region had its own society.

In that era, communications were not yet developed, so the leaders of gangs in each region were probably only famous in their own areas, and naturally no one knew about them in other areas.

The name Fire Phoenix should only be famous in the Dongshui area of ​​K City, so the informer is most likely a young man from the Dongshui area.

I guess I often see Fire Phoenix coming to the game arcade to collect insurance fees. After meeting him a few times, I know this character.

"So." Yuan Fugui looked at pc1486, "Next, do you know how to check?"

"I understand. I will go to the Dongshui area of ​​K City to find out how many game arcades were opened in this place in 1990 and who were the owners of the arcades. Then I will ask the boss if there was anyone in his 20s at that time. Young people often come here to play games, and they especially like to play the game "Contra". Then I will bring the whistleblower's tape to the boss to see if he is impressed by the voice."

Yuan Fugui nodded, "The direction is right, but you don't have to do this yourself."

"You don't need me to do it?"

"Yes, our department is just you and me. If you investigate one by one, how long will it take? You can ask the missing person detective for help."

"Missing detective?"

pc1486 has heard of this organization.

This is a private detective agency that usually handles cases that do not involve criminal matters.

For example, if the client wants to find his parents who have been separated for many years, his first love, or his old friend, it is difficult for the police to handle these things, and there is no way to dispatch a large number of police forces to do it.

So the client will spend money to find some "missing person detective agencies" for help.

These detective agencies are wild and have a large network of contacts. All they need is to know the name, mobile phone number, etc. of the person they are looking for.

This information will be posted in a secret mobile phone chat group.

The group is full of takeaways and couriers from K City, as well as some college hackers.

The missing person detective will announce a bounty amount and ask takeaways and couriers to pay attention to whether there is such a number one person and whether they have seen this mobile phone number when delivering orders.

After locating the target, the missing person detective will use methods such as squatting to find the person he is looking for.

In doing so, we make use of the private network to maximize efficiency.

PC1486 said, "Inspector Yuan, I heard that these missing persons detective agencies are very expensive to find people, and the one-time fee is tens of thousands."

"Money must be spent. We don't have many people in this department, but we have enough funds."

"Inspector Fang, why do you think the superior of the Crime Unit, our big boss, needs to use the highest standard of funds to investigate a murder case that no one is paying attention to?"

Yuan Fugui said it was because he wanted to appear on TV.

On TV?

Correct.

Chasing the murderer means letting the murderer know, don't run away, we will catch you even if it takes decades.

The murderer must also be exposed on TV and in the news, so that the murderer will suffer lifelong infamy.

Let criminals be punished, and let people who are planning to commit crimes quickly give up the idea of ​​committing crimes when they see such news.

This is what chasing a murderer means.

It was already early in the morning after the two of them chatted. Yuan Fugui stretched his body and went downstairs to send pc1486 home.

Walking to the door, ready to get in the car, pc1486 stretched out his finger——

I saw Chen Jinshui standing on the top of the mountain not far away, quietly doing Tai Chi in the morning light.

What a weird man. The two shook their heads and left in a sports car.
