Criminal Investigation Files

On the evening of October 10, the Nancheng Public Security Bureau cracked a serious case of child trafficking and eliminated a criminal gang.

In this case, 26 people were criminally detained, 53 underage children were successfully rescued, and 18 homeless children who ran away from home were found.

At present, the principal culprit in this case was attacked and killed during the rescue operation that night, and the details of the case are still under further investigation.

The claiming of the children involved in the case is already underway in an orderly manner. The police will publish the relevant information of the abducted children on the Internet platform, and enter it into the information system of the national public security organs to find the abducted/missing children, so as to help them find their biological parents. Parents are requested to call the hotline: xxxxxxxx , The children involved in the case who are not claimed within 30 days from now on will be properly placed in welfare institutions according to law.

Four days later in the morning, the Nancheng Bureau and the task force were in the meeting room, and they were about to hold a progress exchange meeting.Ye Zheng began to adjust the equipment, and a whiteboard was placed in front of everyone, ready to sort out the case.

In the past few days, everyone in the task force has been working almost all night, which is unavoidable, with tired faces on their faces.

After the frost falls, the weather cools down, especially the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, with a span of as much as ten degrees.

Lu Siyu wore a windbreaker over his shirt, but he still felt a little cold, so he kept pulling his hands into his sleeves.

Song Wen took his own cup to pour water, and when passing by Lu Siyu, he took his cup along with him calmly, added some hot water, and took it back for him.

Lu Siyu thanked him, took it from Song Wen's hand, bowed his head and took a sip.

The meeting officially started, and Du Yong made a report first. He was following up the progress of the case after that night and just sorted out all the confessions.

"The current progress of this case is that the identities of 71 children have been confirmed, and all the input work has been completed. The recovery work is also proceeding in an orderly manner. At present, [-] children who have been confirmed and not involved in the case have undergone psychological evaluation. After that, they returned to the family one after another.”

"Some of those adults who have been trained have already flowed into the society. At present, the criminal investigation team is digging out their identities based on the confessions provided by the caretakers, and some progress has been made."

"In addition, we have confirmed from the confession that among the caregivers who live with the children, some of them have the identity of intermediaries, and these people were in contact with the terminally ill patients before."

"It's a pity that those who were caught were obviously at a lower level and were only in charge of specific arrangements. They didn't know much about the handover and the cases that had happened, and they didn't know anything about the identity of the white whale. Now We can only follow up with some clues they provided."

While helping Lu Siyu find information recently, Song Wen is also paying attention to the end of the case.

He also has a certain understanding of what Du Yong said.

The vigorous Yu Niangniang case did not completely cut off the clues because of Yu Huizhi's death. The Municipal Bureau began to follow the clues to inquire about the whereabouts of the children involved in the previous case.

The vines were pulled out one by one, causing a series of chain reactions, and some unexpected dark lines were discovered.With the interrogation of those involved in the case, the shock spread from the Municipal Bureau to various administrative departments in Nancheng City.

According to various information, the hands, feet and eyes of the dark forces were cut off and dug out one by one.

The only pity is that because of Yu Huizhi's death, the clue to the identity of the white whale was lost.The police had to continue their investigation in other directions.

After Du Yong summed up the progress of the work here, Song Wen nodded, and asked a few more questions about the aftermath of the case, including the public's reaction.

Recently, this case, as a side branch of the 519 case, has basically been successfully concluded, and some related follow-up work can also be transferred, and then the special case team can concentrate on investigating the main case.

After Du Yong, it was Xu Youyou who reported. She was mainly following up on the investigation of Yu Huizhi's death.

"After Yu Huizhi's death, the forensic doctor has conducted an autopsy on her, and confirmed that a blade-like metal sheet cut through the main artery in the neck, bleeding profusely in a short period of time, causing the death of the deceased. The murder weapon is suspected to be the blade of a paper knife. He was taken away from the scene by the murderer."

"Due to the large number of people at the scene, there were no traces of physical evidence left. I asked some parents who were close to the scene, and no one saw clearly the process of the murderer and his appearance."

Xu Youyou took a few steps forward, took a USB flash drive and connected to the projector: "In order to further investigate the real culprit who killed Yu Huizhi that night, I tried my best to restore the situation that night. The number of parents who participated that night was about 500. According to statistical estimates, because it was the time after work at night, many families came with multiple people. These more than 200 people came from more than [-] families who lost their children in Nancheng City."

"These families have been active in the forums and related super chats of lost children all year round. They also have some WeChat and online groups for mutual assistance. That night, during the operation, some people forwarded the news on Weibo and the forum to some of their families. In the group, there was a discussion among the parents, and then a gathering, and someone found Yu Huizhi's personal information and put it in the group."

"Then I suspected that someone bought the hot search, using the data on the water army. I contacted some companies with marketing accounts, but the other party said that they only reposted the content based on social hot spots. They did not violate the law. , and did not admit whether they were employed by anyone."

"Then I went to collect videos from more than a dozen media outlets from different angles that night, but because it was night, it was very chaotic, and the incident happened suddenly, so there were only two recordings of Yu Huizhi's murderer."

After introducing the situation, Xu Youyou showed it on the big screen, and the image on the screen seemed to bring everyone back to that noisy night.

It can be seen from the screen that there are turbulent crowds everywhere, and the core is the police car being besieged.

The first segment was shot from behind the crowd. Between the staggered figures, a person with a hat approached Yu Huizhi, and flashed by.

Then Yu Huizhi fell down, and the camera zoomed in, showing Yu Huizhi's frightened expression clutching her neck. Obviously, the photographer also noticed that something was wrong, and then the camera shook, as if looking for the person with the hat, but that The person seemed to have lowered his body and disappeared in a flash.

"And this part." Xu Youyou played the second part again. This part was recorded from the side, and it was clearer than the previous one. Even from the gap between the crowd, one could clearly see a white light that seemed to be a murder weapon. flashed.

The murderer made a sideways movement, allowing them to see clearly that it was a middle-aged man.

Xu Youyou fixed the screen and introduced: "I took a few pictures and asked the technical department to restore them. This is the restored picture."

The picture released on the projector is much clearer than the screenshot in the video just now. It can be seen clearly that it is a quarter of a man's face, revealing one eye and half of his face. It is the face of a killer. His expression was a little ferocious.

"Basically, it can be judged from the video evidence that this person killed Yu Huizhi." Xu Youyou turned to ask Song Wen, "Captain Song, can this be used to restore the avatar?"

Song Wen narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped the table with the pen in his hand, and tried to restore the appearance of the man in his mind. It was a little blurry, but he hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and said, "There is too little information, there may be a big deviation."

With these materials alone, he couldn't make up the facial features of the man in his mind.To restore the avatar, you need to consider the angle, expression, light and other issues. In the case of no witnesses and only blurred images, if the error is too large, not only will it not help to solve the case, but it may also mislead the police.

Song Wen said it was difficult to restore this portrait, so the others probably had no choice.

Song Wen thought for a while and said, "But if I see this person again, I might be able to recognize him. Didn't other cameras or surveillance cameras capture him?"

If other cameras can capture it, or if there is a separate perspective and other reference objects, at least the man's height, clothing, facial contours, etc. can be estimated.

Xu Youyou shook her head and said, "I didn't find him in the other cameras, so I don't know his whereabouts later."

Lu Siyu said: "I think he may have carried out a simple cross-dressing."

He took off his hat and changed his coat. There were so many people that night, it was difficult to pick him out from the crowd with such an easy change of clothes.

Du Yong asked: "Is this person like those who attacked the police before?"

Song Wen shook his head, and then analyzed: "This person is obviously different from the person who attacked the police before. The person who attacked the police before was found by Yu Niangniang. Young, this person obviously does not meet these two characteristics."

Lu Siyu was also thinking about this question, he suddenly thought of something, raised his eyes and said, "Maybe he is a more core person."

"This person is agile, without any timidity, able to fight in the presence of so many people, grasping the timing without revealing anything, and using his body to consciously block the sight of others..." Song Wen said, adding another sentence, "Probably a veteran with multiple lives."

When most people kill for the first time, they will inevitably feel a little nervous, flustered, and their heart beats faster. There is no way to be so calm and calm.

Having reached this point in the discussion about the murderer, Xu Youyou pulled out the USB flash drive and said, "Then... I've finished the introduction here."

Song Wen nodded and said: "Continue to follow up and see if we can find any clues. If you can't dig it down, let's put it aside for a while. If this person is trying to silence Huizhi, then we must also find other clues." directions to find him."

It was Ye Zheng's next turn. He checked Yu Huizhi's relevant information. This woman lived alone all year round, never married, and had no children.

Her financial situation is similar to that of Dai Xiaoman, and the obvious expenses are greater than the fixed and checkable income.

Then he collected some information about the Little Angel Fund, and projected various investment composition ratio charts on the screen. Ye Zheng started a professional and systematic financial analysis that lasted about 3 minutes, and finally he concluded: "This is what I have recently done. The verification results. The entire foundation has been maintained for about ten years, and the funds received are very miscellaneous, and there are a lot of money. All the details and records I can find have been printed out. During the current verification, there are some small However, no obvious large-scale illegal operations have been found yet. But... I noticed that one of the company's shareholders is Gu Zhibai."

Ye Zheng drew a circle on the screen: "And this company's investment accounted for a relatively large proportion, accounting for 23.5% of the total funding source of this foundation."

"That is to say, among all the donations received by the Nancheng Homeless Children's Angel Foundation, Gu Zhibai's company accounts for a high proportion. It is possible that he or the people behind him are supporting this foundation."

"In short, this can prove that Gu Zhibai may have something to do with Yu Huizhi. Also, I checked the surveillance of the nearby parking lot that night and found something."

Ye Zheng called up a few photos as he spoke, "Gu Zhibai came back from other places that day, and at night, his car appeared not far from the city bureau. This person knew Bai Luorui, and now he is with Yu Hui Zhi has an intersection, I think, should I call him over and ask?"

After Ye Zheng finished speaking, he found that the four people in the conference room were all looking at him.

Xu Youyou took the lead and sighed deeply. She still had a fresh memory of the last time Team Xu detained Gu Zhibai.

Du Yong also shook his head aside, he was not optimistic either, he didn't think Ye Zheng could catch Gu Zhibai.

Lu Siyu lowered his head and remained silent in thought.

Everyone else in the office has met Gu Zhibai before, and they know how difficult this person is to deal with. There are many doubts about him, and it is very likely that there is some kind of connection between him and the white whale.

But he seemed to be full of flaws, but he didn't reveal anything when he answered, and he would even get them in.

"The evidence at hand is still not solid enough. Gu Zhibai's company's participation in the Little Angel Fund can also be interpreted as a normal charity project, and the car nearby can't explain anything." Song Wen said to Ye Zheng, "You can put He called over, talked to him about the company's financial movements, and asked you about all your doubts, but with the current evidence, if you want to press him to death, you will probably be disappointed."

When they traced Gu Zhibai before, because his company had a foreign capital background, they found that this person was involved with some foreign capital. At that time, their technical investigation force was insufficient. Now that Ye Zheng joined, they can trace even more. much information.But these are far from enough as evidence. Apart from being able to prove that this person is related to many companies, has a lot of investment, and a lot of assets, he knows Bai Luorui, maybe Yu Huizhi, and nothing else. Can't prove it.

Lu Siyu said softly: "Let's ask him again, it's not the way to always do this, and I also have some questions I want to ask him." If you want to crack this case, Gu Zhibai will definitely not be able to get around it .

Song Wendao: "Then Xu Youyou calls and asks him over."

Now that the case has been sorted out, the next step is the highlight.

Song Wen turned to look at Lu Siyu, "Si Yu, tell me about our recent progress."

Since Lu Siyu sorted out the whole case that day, they have been busy with it for the past few days.

Lu Siyu walked to the front of the projection, and took out a pair of glasses in a gentle manner. He looked like a teacher who had just graduated from graduate school and was about to teach students.

Lu Siyu put on his glasses, and then he pulled over the whiteboard: "Recently, Team Song and I sorted out all the timelines and context of the 519 case. I think we need to find the initial point of the case, which is the evil origin."

Lu Siyu wrote the words Wushan Nursing Home on the whiteboard with elegant fonts, and then drew an arc, "The whole case extends forward and backward. The front end is the Wushan Nursing Home case, and at the back end, everything once Back to Wushan Nursing Home."

That twisted line is like a Mobius ring interlaced by time and space.

Lu Siyu continued: "The reason why the front and rear ends are Wushan Nursing Home is that vicious incidents happened in this place 18 years apart, and there is a relationship of inheritance and iteration between these two vicious incidents. The murderer Treat nursing homes, and the elderly in them, as objects of experimental killing and abuse."

He paused and said, "And the most critical person among them is Xia Weiwei."

"Although the 519 case broke out before the nursing home case, according to the investigation of the nursing home case, Xia Weiwei may have started experimenting and abusing the elderly in the nursing home two years ago."

"We found out from Du Ruoxin's testimony and the investigation of this case that Xia Weiwei may not have committed the crime alone. There was a mysterious man beside her. We have not yet been able to find out the identity of this man. He is also not resident in the nursing home. It is not yet fully determined that this person is the white whale, but there is a high degree of suspicion."

"This means that it is very likely that the beluga whale has joined in the early days when Xia Weiwei was still abusing the nursing home. That is the earliest case we know that the beluga whale may be involved in."

"White Whale met Xia Weiwei before he cooperated with Long Jinrong."

Lu Siyu stopped writing at this point, and turned to look at the crowd. It was the first time he was sorting out the case in front of so many people, and he was a little shy, but his voice was clear and clear, and what he said was thought-provoking.

Seeing that no one answered for a while, Lu Siyu changed to a simpler and easier-to-understand statement, "That is to say, apart from Long Jinrong, Yu Huizhi, and even Wu Hongyou who once glanced at him, maybe Xia Weiwei is He is the person Moby Dick has known the earliest and the longest time, and also the person who has learned the most information about him and has had the deepest influence on each other."

Except for Song Wen, who already knew this, the other three people in the task force sat in their positions, feeling like students listening to a teacher's lecture. Xu Youyou digested Lu Siyu's words: "So you mean...instead of investigating The vague white whale, why not investigate unknown Xia who may have more information?"

Lu Siyu nodded: "Xia Weiwei and Beluga may have met and intersected a long time ago. They must have attracted each other and had a certain intersection."

Xu Youyou said in surprise, "But Xia Weiwei is already dead."

In her opinion, if Xia Weiwei is still alive, this is undoubtedly the best investigation direction at present, but Xia Weiwei is dead, which means that many things have broken clues, and they have no way to find the dead person to ask for a confession.This was also one of the reasons why Xu Changying was blocked when investigating Xia Weiwei's death, and instead went to investigate Wu Hongyou.

"The death of the suspect, in my opinion, is also an advantage during the investigation." Lu Siyu wrote Xia Weiwei on the whiteboard, "Because Xia Weiwei was missing before, there were a lot of people in the task force back then. The investigation was not in place. Now that Xia Weiwei is dead, the situation is completely different. In the 519 case back then, the whole situation was almost known, and it was difficult to continue the in-depth investigation. In comparison, the investigation of Xia Weiwei's case It is higher and more able to form a complete closed loop."

Lu Siyu used a pen to draw a square black frame on Xia Weiwei's name: "And I think that Xia Weiwei's death may have a lot to do with the white whale."

Xu Youyou frowned and asked again: "Then... how are you going to check Xia Weiwei?"

Lu Siyu said: "Recently, Team Song and I are trying to go back to Xia Weiwei."

After hearing his words, not only Xu Youyou was surprised, but Ye Zheng and Du Yong also frowned. This was the first time they had heard of this detection method.

Du Yong asked directly: "How can I go back to a person?"

Lu Siyu drew a straight line on the whiteboard, wrote down the birth and death, and marked the years below: "Do our best to trace back her life."

This is no longer just an understanding of Xia Weiwei and an exploration of her criminal psychology, but a complete restoration.Find those data, insiders, dig out all the truth, and reshape her bones, flesh, and face bit by bit...

Then, from the trajectory of her life, the clues, and all the people she passed by, she can find that one in ten million...

Find a possible Moby Dick, or someone implicated in the case.
