Special case investigation team V

"Are there any potential suspects in those murder cases?" Han Bin asked.

Xiao Li spoke quickly, and replied: "There were a few suspicious people before, but there is no evidence."

"Are there no suspicious fingerprints or DNA left at the scene?"

"The most troublesome thing is here. In their village, everyone's doors are open. It is common to visit each other. It is very common to have other people's fingerprints or DNA."

The old Fu sighed: "The comrades in the provincial task force are also very troubled by this situation." He saw that Xiao Li hadn't mentioned the people from the province, so he hurried to explain this to the comrades from the capital. Condition.

In a small county like theirs, homicide cases are very rare, and they are major cases. Once they happen, they will report them immediately.

The case of a family of four being exterminated was the first homicide case in Shitoukeng Village. The chief turned pale immediately after hearing this, and hurriedly reported it to the higher authorities.

So many people died, even in the province, it was a major case. The leaders attached great importance to it, and quickly formed a task force to investigate these cases.

But before they came, another girl was raped and killed.

Is this worth it?They hurried over, and when they arrived in the county, it was getting late, so they planned to rest for one night before starting the investigation, but another father and son were killed that night.

This is really... They were hit hard.

Later, after investigation, they found that the situation was more complicated than imagined.

In general, there are three types of homicide cases in rural areas: stress homicide, murder, and wandering criminals.

For the former, it is clear at a glance who the murderer is.The middle one is usually not very clever, and it is not difficult to find out the cause and effect; the last one, the murderer will be more difficult to catch, and the fugitives will run away after finishing the crime. , The direction is still very clear-mainly because their cultural level is limited, their modus operandi is very rough, and they will leave many traces of their identity at the crime scene.

But this time is different, the crime scene is "clean", and the murderer is either very knowledgeable or lucky.

The criminal police who are used to handling murder cases naturally don't believe in luck, they all feel that this time they have encountered very difficult criminals, and these cases will be very thankless to investigate.

The Provincial Public Security Bureau thought that since these cases were difficult to deal with, they should report them to the higher authorities. No matter whether the higher-ups paid attention to them or not, at least they had asked for help.

Then, the special case team saw their file and finally decided to come and take a look.

Ye Lai smiled and said, "Are the comrades from the provincial task force in the bureau now?"

Old Fu said: "No, they are in Kushui Town, which is close to Shitoukeng Village. There are many colleagues there now."

"Boss, shall we go directly to the town?" Xiao An turned around, knelt down on the chair with one knee, leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Cheng Jin in the back row.

Cheng Jin said: "Go to the bureau to say hello to everyone, and then go to the town."

Old Fu smiled and said, "Okay."

Cheng Jin met the director and two deputy directors at the County Public Security Bureau. The deputy director in charge of the criminal police brigade and most of the criminal police team went to Kushui Town.The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, drank a cup of tea together, and then Cheng Jin bid farewell.Work comes first, everyone is very understanding.

It was old Fu and Xiao Li who sent Cheng Jin and the others to Kushui Town, and they stopped for lunch on the way. In fact, the director had invited them to eat, but Cheng Jin refused.

As for the taste of the food in the small restaurant, Xiao An's evaluation is passing.

Xingyuan County is not big, and it takes 40 minutes to drive from the county to Kushui Town.

After the special case team and the main force met at the town police station, everyone got to know each other first.

There are a few people from the provincial task force that caught the attention of the special case team. One is the leader of the team, Wan Zongneng. He is the captain of the criminal police in the provincial capital. He is nearly 50 years old. An experienced veteran detective.There is also a man with glasses called Chen Hui, he is a criminal psychology consultant, and everyone looks at him a few more times.There is also a fat man, he is a forensic doctor, his name is Yuan Daxian, this man is very round and very pleasant, as a forensic doctor who often touches corpses, he can grow such a body, and his appetite is good enough.

On the County Public Security Bureau side, the deputy director's surname is Zhao, and his name is Feilong. The captain of the criminal police team is called Li Zhonglu, a very tall man.

After getting to know each other, everyone began to discuss the case.

Wan Zongneng said one thing first, the girl who drowned yesterday, after the autopsy, it was found that she had been raped.

Forensic doctor Yuan Daxian added a few words about the autopsy. The girl was 15 years old. She had lacerations in her lower body and no semen in her body. The cause of death was drowning, and she was thrown into the water after being pinched unconscious.

... Everyone was angry and helpless.

Cheng Jin said: "So so far, the number of victims in Shitoukeng Village has reached eight?"

Wan Zongneng said: "Yes."

Cheng Jin said, "Do you have any ideas?"

"..." The idea of ​​solving the case?Everyone is slandering, if you have an idea, we have already solved the case, are you still waiting?

Cheng Jin said: "Any idea. For example, isn't Shitookeng Village a strange place?"

Old Fu and Xiao Li who sent them here thought to themselves, is Cheng Jin going to say that this village is evil?Want to spread superstitious ideas openly?

Wan Zongneng said in a deep voice: "It's very strange. I have been working for nearly 30 years. This is the first time I have seen so many people killed suddenly in a small village. Now we have so many police stationed in this town—— It only takes a quarter of an hour to walk from here to Shitookeng Village, and the murderer dares to do it, he is brave enough!" At the end, he gritted his teeth angrily.

Yuan Daxian said: "I think the two rape and murder cases were committed by the same murderer."

In the last rape and murder case, there was no semen in the victim's body or body. The cause of death was suffocation and strangulation. The marks on the neck were very similar to the girl from yesterday.

Han Bin said: "What about the family of four and the father and son? Do you think there is another murderer?"

Yuan Daxian smiled wryly, "I'm not sure. But the family of four is an old couple and their two sons and daughters. The son is 24 years old and the daughter is 21 years old. The four were killed on the bed at home late at night, all with an axe. Yes, the daughter was not violated before she died, if the murderer and the murderer in the rape and murder case are the same person, then he should do something to the daughter."

Han Bin nodded, agreeing with his statement.

Bu Huan said: "Is the murderer one person, or several people?"

Yuan Daxian said: "Judging from the wounds on the corpse, the force of the axe is comparable."

Bu Huan said: "You mean: either the murderer is one person, or several people of equal strength?"

Yuan Daxian nodded.

Xiao An muttered, "It's so scary."

Han Bin asked again: "What about the father and son?"

"They were also killed at night, not late at night, but around ninety o'clock in the evening. At that time, they were not sleeping, but drinking. The murderer broke in suddenly and killed them. The murder weapon this time was not an ax, but It’s a hatchet. This time, we left a clue: half a rubber shoe print. It’s a pity that there was no shoe print left in the previous extermination case, or we can compare it to see if it’s the same person.”

"Did you go to the village to look for those rubber shoes?"

"Looked for it, but didn't find it."

The villages in Xingyuan County range in size from a few hundred to several thousand people.Shitookeng Village is a medium-sized village. Because it is close to the national highway, the transportation is convenient, and the life is relatively convenient, so the population has been increasing, rather than the population of many remote villages has been shrinking.Now Shitoukeng Village has a total of 205 households with a total population of about [-].

The villagers here are all farmers, so each household has more than one pair of rubber shoes. The police went door-to-door to check. So far, they have not found the pair of rubber shoes that were stained with blood.

Moreover, the blood stains on the rubber shoes are easy to remove, and the styles of the rubber shoes are the same, and it is impossible to be sure that the person wearing that pair of rubber shoes is a villager... In short, it is very difficult to find the pair of rubber shoes worn by the murderer.

Cheng Jin looked at the blackboard in the conference room. There were some writings on it that had not been completely erased, probably left over from the previous analysis of the case. "It seems that the villagers are unwilling to cooperate with the investigation?"

Wan Zongneng said: "People in the countryside are afraid of the police, not to mention the people in this place...have done a lot of bad things, so they are even more afraid of us."

You Duo said: "Do you mean the looting of the truck?"

He looked very young, and Wan Zongneng looked at him a few more times, feeling in his heart that "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead", and nodded his face, "Well, the cars passing by here are often robbed."

"They still know they are afraid. I thought they were justified and not guilty at all." Xiao An's voice was crisp.She looks young, beautiful and cute.As soon as she spoke, everyone's eyes turned from You Duo to her.

"They were not afraid before, because the law does not blame the public, looting is a group industry, the responsibility is dispersed, and the pressure on each of them is very small, and they don't think they will be punished by the law." Provincial Project Chen Hui, the criminal psychology consultant of the group, said, "I am afraid now because many people have been killed. They are worried about retribution or something—that's what people in the town are talking about."

He stayed here intermittently for about two weeks, chatted with many people here, and already had a general understanding of the thinking of the people here.

Not afraid of the law and fear of retribution, everyone laughed angrily.

Han Bin looked at the people of the county criminal police team, "Don't you think about enforcing the law more strictly? If you manage it well, there will be fewer such incidents."

People from the county criminal police team were embarrassed.

The deputy director hesitated and said: "This is because we didn't do a good job. But it's hard to handle the dispersal of responsibilities - the looting amount is apportioned to everyone, and there is not much, and the standard for filing a case is not up to standard. And every time we When the police are dispatched, those old, weak, and disabled women will block up in front of the police car and make trouble. We are also very difficult to deal with, fearing that they will cause trouble..."

As soon as he said this, colleagues in the industry could understand that maintaining stability was the first priority, and he could just go along with it. As for the truck driver who suffered heavy losses, he could only admit that he was unlucky.

Cheng Jin smiled, "Take care of it as much as you can, or it won't be good if it becomes a big mess. Your place is very famous on the Internet, and you can find dozens of pages of looting news about your place if you search the Internet casually."

Wan Zongneng also answered, "What should be managed should be managed."

The deputy bureau said awkwardly: "Yes, yes..."

Cheng Jin said: "To be honest, I think it's like cracking down on pornography and crimes. Severe crackdowns every once in a while should be effective." Of course, this kind of campaign law enforcement also has drawbacks, but the effect is really fast.

Wan Zongneng thought for a while, "Maybe."

The deputy director laughed along with him.

Seeing everyone's embarrassment, Chen Hui continued to analyze: "In addition to the law not to blame the crowd, I think there are two other psychological mechanisms behind the looting, that is the herd mentality and habitualization."

"Following the crowd means that we have to integrate into the group and be consistent with the group, otherwise there may be a risk of being excluded. It is easier to follow the crowd among acquaintances, and everyone tends to follow the behavior of the 'leader'. If he robs, everyone will rob. He helps , and everyone will help."

You Duo said: "Here, I mean in Shitoukeng Village, do you think the 'leader' will choose 'rob' or 'help'? Do you think most people will choose 'rob' or 'help'? 'Woolen cloth?"

Chen Hui adjusted his glasses and said, "Give it up. The economic level here is not high, the material is very scarce, and the villagers generally have a low level of education."

You Duo said: "I'm fine." If this was a debate match, he would have already won one round by now.

Anyway, in Shitookeng Village, everyone wanted to rob, but the trucks passing by here kept getting into accidents, and the more they robbed, the more addicted they became.

- This is habituation.When a certain behavior becomes a habit, everyone becomes numb, thinking that it is a very common thing, and doing it will not have the slightest bit of conscience.

"Looting is actually very common." Chen Hui said, "Not only in rural areas, but also in cities; not only in China, but also in developed countries. It is also a marathon. In a certain city in China, citizens put all the flowers decorated on the roadside I moved back to my own home; in a foreign city, the citizens also moved the free bottled water back home. This kind of thing is very difficult to manage, and it is the same in any country.”

"It's taking advantage of a petty advantage, it's different from robbing a truck - robbing someone's truck is robbery and a crime." Bu Huan said with a smile, "But I've heard that morons like to rob wine."

"They also grab food." You Duo said, "Europeans and Americans prefer to grab electronic products."

"Ah, it really is a developed country."

"There are more riots in developed countries, where a group of people smash and loot."

"Their police don't dare to intervene, but the reason is different from ours. They are afraid of being injured by the mob, so they usually wait for the mob to disperse before they dare to come out."

"Haha, our advantage is stability, and there are generally no disturbances."

"If we dare to vandalize and loot here, that's a top priority... Daily looting, small things, who cares."

"..."

Everyone chatted in a hurry, but Cheng Jin didn't care. He flipped through the file in his hand, as if he listened to the noisy discussion as background music.Beside him, Yang Simi got bored and took his arm as a pillow.

Wan Zongneng doesn't know what kind of routine these people are following. After working for so many years, he rarely sees such lively colleagues. Usually everyone is very serious. After all, they are dealing with murder cases, and these people—— A little heavier - as if it came out to play.

The people in the provincial task force all believed Wan Zongneng to follow suit, so they were secretly watching him to see what he would do.

Wan Zongneng thought about it and said, "There is another kind of looting that is also very common."

"What kind?" Everyone looked at him, and no one chatted for a while.

"After a natural disaster. For example, after an earthquake in China, there are a lot of people looting things. Isn't there a hurricane in the United States? After a hurricane, there will also be people looting other people's property." Wan Zongneng said, "I have participated in earthquake rescue before. Many people took advantage of the chaos to rob things, and many local people spontaneously organized to stop those people from robbing. At that time, I thought, although there are bad people in this world, there are also many good people.”

"Human nature is complicated." Cheng Jin said, "Those who snatched things during the earthquake may also help others in other places at other times."

"Well, different social situations will inspire different human natures." Yang Simi raised his face, "Human beings were originally free beasts, who robbed and killed as they wanted, and later developed a set of behavioral norms—the so-called Good education or a good social atmosphere, but this still cannot completely eliminate the evil in human nature." He tilted his head and leaned on Cheng Jin's shoulder and looked at everyone, as if wondering what they were going to do.

Cheng Jin smiled, "So, let's do whatever we want, let's act according to the law." He checked the time, "Now, shall we go to Shitookeng Village?"
