Criminal Investigation Files

Zheng Huaian leaned his whole body on the back of the chair as he spoke, his fingers crossed together, and he raised his head, as if lost in memory: "Moby Dick, what exactly is a Beluga Dick? The white whale mentioned should be Crypto..."

Lu Siyu knows that this word means mystic, and Crypto++ is also a cryptographic library written in C++ language. As for the origin of this ID, it is probably difficult to study now.Unless, you can ask the user himself.

"It all started more than 20 years ago, when I was a young man full of curiosity about the world. And this story originated from a small internal forum. In the forum, a group of people like me gathered young people."

"The people there are very aware of the difference between themselves and ordinary people. Everyone is very intelligent, conceited and even pretentious. Those people hide beasts in their hearts."

"White Whale and I first met there."

"At the beginning, what attracted me on the forum was a sentence, 'In this world, talent, hope, and health can be sold, why can't evil and death be sold?'"

"Young people are always curious. On the forum, most of them are novel content, telling the strange things of the whole world. And there is a private section that only special people can enter. To enter this section, you need to pass A test question on the forum. I answered it three times before I was lucky enough to pass the test. Being able to enter this secret section is a status symbol in the forum."

"In this mysterious section, there is a kind of planning game."

"It's like a game of deduction. Someone will put forward a post, and whoever can plan close to the truth, complete the crime, and escape the sanction will get the final reward."

Hearing this, Lu Siyu frowned slightly: "Are you talking about script killing?"

Zheng Huaian shook his head: "It's not such a simple game, and there is no fixed number of people participating in the discussion. Anyone can speak, and others will vote coins for your answers, and finally judge the best one based on the number of coins. This kind of game It is based on reality and has our own set of rules. The first few games, such as hypothetical how to steal jewelry, or hypothetical robbery of famous paintings. Some are puzzles found in some reasoning stories, and some are just puzzles Stories set by the Lord Himself. Some even come from reality. As long as your topic is reasonable, people will come to participate.”

"I like this forum and this kind of game, because it allows me to do things in my mind that I want to do but dare not do in life."

"As for Beluga, his ID at that time was Crypto, and he was the most famous person in the entire forum, and also the person with the most total points."

"The first plan I listed was criticized by him thoroughly. What I wrote after racking my brain was full of loopholes in his opinion."

"At that time, I participated in many games, and I could barely be regarded as an upper-middle level. I was fascinated by the games on the forum, and I mentioned to my friends that I would recruit people I knew in life, such as Xia Weiwei. She is also very I quickly fell in love with the forum, and even started to think about the issues above without sleep."

"Shao Jinting also joined, but Xia Weiwei even helped him with the questions, so he can only dive inside."

Lu Siyu bowed his head in thought, this kind of forum mechanism actually encourages evil.

There is a certain threshold for joining the forum, and only so-called smart people can enter.

The so-called planning, as a virtual game, has a sense of showing off skills. Many young people are probably using this to show off their extraordinary intelligence on the Internet.

"That year, when Xia Weiwei was in her senior year, I found Xia Weiwei and accompanied her to the hospital to have an abortion. She became depressed. Then she posted a question on the forum, how to kill her? Falling off Teacher Qiu. This post quickly became a hot topic on the forum."

"Of course, the postings on the forum are anonymous, and all the stories are also blurred. What remains unchanged is the time, place, conditions and various background factors. Teacher Qiu described her story as He himself, a teacher with a wife and child, but with a few boats on his feet, took the opportunity to play with a female student, and the protagonist of the story was a helpless female student who had just lost her own child."

"In the forum, this is the first time that a simulated killing game has appeared, and many people are crazy about it."

"This novel topic quickly attracted feedback from people in the forum, they discussed and tried various methods."

"In their minds, Teacher Qiu has been killed hundreds of times, but without exception, the methods of killing each have various loopholes."

"Time, place, people, various factors, everything is presented on the sand table, and the answers are overturned over and over again."

"At that time, the white whale replied. He said that such a teacher should drown him in the corpse pool."

When Zheng Huai'an said this, his eyes seemed to be filled with stars, with crazy admiration.

"I can't imagine how it felt when I first saw that plan."

"He described all the steps in detail, couriering anonymous letters to the school leaders and Teacher Qiu's wife, including all evidence of Teacher Qiu's cheating, and then luring Teacher Qiu over. How to make an alibi, how to erase the traces of the scene, How to make the forensic doctor unable to determine the time of death, how to hide it from the police and turn it all into an accident..."

"He is the best planner. On the forum, he is regarded as a god by other people, and he is also regarded as a devil. Other people's evil is just evil, which is flat, but his evil has form. A three-dimensional object is alive and expandable.”

The crazy expression on Zheng Huai'an's face made Lu Siyu a little sick, and he asked, "So, did you carry out a murder according to this plan?"

Zheng Huaian nodded, his face was illuminated by the lights in the interrogation room, and every movement would cause changes in the light and shadow.

"To be precise, it wasn't us, but them. One night later, Xia Weiwei and Shao Jinting made a move together."

"They finally changed from planners to murderers, and they also experienced a feeling they had never had before, that is, the pleasure of revenge."

"Everything is as expected by Moby Dick. Because the school is afraid that this incident will become a big mess, and Teacher Qiu's wife is also guilty and guilty. Some people in the school even suspect that the victimized female students have united and drowned Teacher Qiu. If it gets out, it will be a huge scandal and no one wants the truth to be found out, and everything will be over soon."

"That is, the beginning of everything..."

What was originally just a virtual discussion on a forum turned into a real event in this corner of the city.

All this is like Truman's world... The wall of virtuality and reality collapsed, and Pandora's box was opened.

"Afterwards, Xia Weiwei took the marrow to know the taste, and opened a post about nursing homes on the forum. In this post, she conducted research and discussions on pharmacological killing. She was very careful at that time. It was an Internet cafe. In the era when there was no need to register ID cards, the police would naturally not discover this secret forum."

Hearing what he said up to this point, Lu Siyu had already guessed the story behind, and his back began to grow cold: "The subsequent robbery by Long Jinrong was also the result of your deduction on the forum?"

Zheng Huaian nodded.

"After a period of time, Shao Jinting and I were eating in a restaurant. The people in the private room were drunk and complained loudly in dialect that they had recently lost their jobs and wanted to do something big. We were separated by a wall. I could hear the conversation clearly, and then I learned about Long Jinrong's situation and investigated his various information. After a while, we ran into that group in the same restaurant, and I knew that his own robbery plan had failed .At that time, I had an idea and opened a story about three robbers on the forum."

"It's like a strategy game. Many people are making suggestions on how to turn the three robbers into a generation of gangsters in Nancheng."

Lu Siyu said: "So, what Long Jinrong did afterwards was based on the plan proposed by those people on the Internet?"

Zheng Huaian nodded: "We followed Long Jinrong, obtained his game ID in the Internet cafe, and contacted him. Most of those robbery plans originated from the idea of ​​​​the white whale, and a small part originated from other People's complement. At that time, Shao Jinting was the main messenger, and he passed the news to Long Jinrong."

The original Long Jinrong was cruel, but stupid, and under those schemes, he gradually became scary.

Hearing this, Song Wen couldn't help it anymore: "Most of the people on the forum may not know that you have turned all this into a real case!"

He looked at the person in front of him, feeling like he was looking at a complete lunatic.

Zheng Huaian smiled: "To kill a fictional person is to kill a real person, the steps are the same, and the killing intent released is the same. When people put forward their opinions, they must be responsible for their own words. And How do you know that those people don't want all this to become a reality? It's like a scientist proposing the truth, doesn't he want someone to be able to prove whether his theory is correct?"

He still speaks of such fallacies and evil ideas with confidence.

Lu Siyu asked coldly: "Could it be that no one has noticed this abnormality? Stop your actions?"

Zheng Huai'an said: "Later, when Long Jinrong's incident became serious, someone discovered that what he had published on the Internet suddenly became a reality. This scene is still a bit weird. This incident aroused controversy. , Some people agree, some people are afraid, some people think it's just a coincidence, the moderator of the forum found out and locked the board in a hurry."

"However, that happened in March of that year. All the people who read the posts on the forum kept their mouths shut, because many of the schemes were born with their own contributions. They knew they were not innocent and were afraid of being implicated. "

"The forum is closed, but it has no effect on us. Shao Jinting has been sorting out those plans, and we have accumulated a lot of plans. Moreover, there were some supporters of the practical school in the forum at that time. We have already found our own Friends, gather together."

"A small forum can no longer trap us people."

"The only thing we lack is the white whale you call."

"The white whale is like an evil soul, while other people are like bones and flesh and blood. We need to rely on him to survive."

Listening to his words, Lu Siyu felt cold all over his body. The combination of these people with different purposes and strengths made evil a life, a monster...

"White Whale proposed the data model of our current group many years ago. How to complete it step by step, how to layout it, set up eyeliner in the city, drill into various loopholes, how to use the intertwined state machinery, and even Invade the political world, the legal world."

"How can we get rid of the police without leaving evidence, how can we collect a lot of wealth and put it in our own pockets after washing it, how can we remove those who stand in the way, let everyone perform their duties, how can we let our desires be obtained. satisfy."

"He taught me that evil can be a corporation, an empire..."

"The feeling of walking on the edge of the law and looking for loopholes in the urban order makes me obsessed."

"A reckless man like Long Jinrong is only suitable for initial accumulation. Yu Niangniang is in charge of personnel and distribution, Xia Weiwei is in charge of medicine, Bai Luorui, and Shao Jinting is in charge of killing people. All the structures, step by step develop, perfect."

"That's how everything became what it is today."

"I admire him, he is the king of the night world. I yearn for him, and hope that I can become like him. I am his most devout follower, and he is my best teacher. I have learned so much from him. After a long time, I only learned less than one ten-thousandth of it..."

"Have you met Gu Zhibai a few days ago? He is actually your biological brother." Having said this, Zheng Huaian looked at Lu Siyu, "Let me tell you now, your brother did not die in 519 At the scene of the crime, he is the mastermind behind all this, and he is the white whale you have been looking for."

"Gu Zhibai? This is impossible!" Lu Siyu trembled directly.

Others in the police station were also completely stunned when they heard the news.

Zheng Huaian confirmed the message: "Your brother is smarter and more evil than you imagined."

Lu Siyu was stunned for a few seconds, then shook his head and denied: "Impossible, my brother was a victim of a kidnapping case, and he was only a teenager at that time. How could he..."

"Haven't you been looking for the truth of the 519 case? The so-called 519 is because we need to find Crypto, we need to find the white whale. So we made a plan to find Crypto. At the beginning, we couldn't imagine that Crypto, which can carry out careful planning, is just a Teenagers. But when we approached your father and your mother, we found that they were not the people we were looking for. Then we found out that the earliest online name of your brother was Crypto."

"Then we planned the 519 kidnapping together. Our goal was him, not the money. It was just a springboard for him to get out of the cage and his family, and to be free. If the plan goes well, he will be handed over to us by Long Jinrong. You and your parents will be put back. Although there were some mistakes in the middle, Moby Whale also used this case to cut off his connection with his past self. He had already clearly understood the truth in that kidnapping case. But He didn't tell you the whole truth at the time."

Lu Siyu's voice began to tremble: "Then why did he do this?"

"It's possible that your parents found out that they had an evil son, and he chose to act forcefully?"

"It's also possible that he was born evil just to enjoy freedom. There are so many reasons for people to do evil."

"But at that time he lured Long Jinrong away to save me and almost died." Lu Siyu questioned.

"That's an omission in the planning." Zheng Huaian looked at Lu Siyu, "But he is definitely not a victim, but a beneficiary. Who do you think got the money that was stolen back then?"

That money is undoubtedly the start-up capital of this evil organization, a behemoth.

Could it be that the 519 robbery was a play directed and acted by Gu Zhibai himself?

"What's the website address of that forum?!" Lu Siyu gritted his teeth and asked.

Zheng Huaian smiled: "It was set up outside the country before, but such a forum has long since ceased to exist, and was destroyed by a big shot. It is precisely because of this that the 519 task force was disbanded, and your brother was released from the archives." to death."

There was obviously something hidden in it, Lu Siyu said quickly: "Then what you are saying now has no evidence at all, so I won't believe it..."

"There is no evidence..." Zheng Huai'an suddenly laughed, "You can think about it, the first case of Long Jinrong, the boss who was robbed, the alley he walked through, is it your daily crime? Did you pass by after school?"

Having said that, Zheng Huai'an had already read the answer from Lu Siyu's face, and he continued to smile: "You know what I said is true, that road is not far from your house... At that time in the afternoon, you should It's the end of your brother's remedial class..."

"Although the robbery was simple, I really liked it. I think it was a perfect robbery. Only a smart enough person can come up with a plan." Zheng Huaian narrowed his smile when he said this, "Only enough I understand, after seeing all of that, it is possible to make such a plan.”

"You think that now that Gu Zhibai is dead, everything is up to you to talk nonsense?" Song Wen pulled Lu Siyu down on the table at this point.

He clearly felt that Lu Siyu's heartbeat quickened, and his emotions also became agitated. If Lu Siyu believed it completely, he would have fallen into Zheng Huaian's trap. He was trying to get rid of his identity as the principal criminal. Blame everything on Gu Zhibai.

Lu Siyu was still in a dream, and he shook his head palely: "It doesn't make any sense at all. If my brother did all of this and his heart is the source of all evil, then why did he let your organization be breached by the police in the end, and the He himself is in deep danger."

"Perhaps, this is just part of his golden cicada's shelling plan. The empire he built must be destroyed by himself. He is probably too disappointed with us mediocre people. It's just that he didn't expect that Shao Jinting would be like an out-of-control bird. I ran to kill him like a mad dog. I am also sorry for his death."

"I don't believe what you said!" Lu Siyu retorted, but at this moment his resistance was a little weak.

Zheng Huaian raised his head and said ferociously, "Think about it again, from the beginning to the end, who is the person with clean hands?"

It was Gu Zhibai. To this day, the police still have no evidence to point to him.But all these things are inextricably linked with him.

His transformation from a victim of a kidnapping case to an accomplice of the murderer is unimaginable in itself.

Zheng Huaian continued to smile, his tone gradually softened: "Look, with just a few words, I planted seeds of doubt in your heart."

"I lied to you." Zheng Huai'an said this suddenly, then he looked at Lu Siyu and continued, "You hope I will say this to you, don't you?"

He's like someone teasing a cat with a cat toy, but he just doesn't want to tell him the truth.

He wants to appreciate his breakdown.

"You hope that your elder brother is a person whose parents died, was killed by robbers, and after I rescued him, he hibernated by my side for many years, waiting to kill me and sacrifice for it."

"But, he is not, he is the real murderer behind the scenes!"

"For so many years, I'm just a small person by his side!"

"Last night, Shao Jinting had no choice but to commit suicide by taking the poison himself. Those chess pieces just happened to be stained with his fingers and got poisoned. Yu Huizhi, Xia Weiwei, these people were all killed by Shao Jinting and Gu Zhibai Yes, I have never killed anyone! That little girl Dai Xiaoman, she is talking nonsense! As for the other things I have done, please find relevant evidence and discuss them. The law has the right to judge me, you guys These cops don't!"

Hearing Zheng Huai'an's words, Gu Ju's expression in the observation room changed slightly. At this point in the interrogation, Zheng Huai'an had completely taken the initiative. He figured out what evidence the police had, which disrupted Lu Siyu and Song Wen. interrogation rhythm.

Song Wen also knew a long time ago that getting Zheng Huaian to plead guilty was not that easy, but he still underestimated him. The person in front of him was already a fish caught in the net, but he was still struggling desperately.

Such a cunning and huge monster cannot be put to death for a while.

He might even tear a fishing net.

"This is my gift to you, Lu Siyu." The smile on Zheng Huai'an's face gradually widened, "I will go to jail, maybe I will pay some price, but at the same time, I will be free, and you will not, Your brother is dead. And you don't know. Whether he is a devil or not is a riddle you will never be able to solve. You will be tormented by this question day and night, thinking about it It’s going to be painful, like claws on your heart, because you may never know what the truth is.”

Lu Siyu lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly.

For a moment, Zheng Huaian thought he was crying.But the next second, when Lu Siyu raised his head, Zheng Huai'an realized that there was a hint of a smile on his delicate face, the corners of his mouth were raised, and the color of his lips was slightly lighter than that of ordinary people.

Lu Siyu was originally a very handsome and beautiful man. At this time, his eyebrows and eyes were bent, and Zheng Huai'an felt a little dazed, but a little uneasiness and even fear rose from the bottom of his heart...

This smile reminded Zheng Huaian of Gu Zhibai.

Although Lu Siyu and Gu Zhibai had different appearances and several years of age difference, they had an aura that was almost identical.

Zheng Huaian and Gu Zhibai have played chess countless times, without exception, every time he lost.

Before welcoming the victory, Gu Zhibai would have this faint smile on his face.

It was a slightly contemptuous smile, as if he had already won the victory, and the person in front of him was not enough to be his opponent.

When the chessboard falls, the final game will be decided.
