Back in Ward 312, Mu Xi Ze raised his head when he heard the knock on the door, saw the expressions of Nie Qing and Su Ji, and asked, "Did you go out to quarrel?"

"...No." Su Ji was a little helpless, while Nie Qing came over and watched Yu Sheng silently for a few seconds before saying, "Let's go to 309."

"En." Mu Xi Ze and Su Ji responded at the same time.

Then I saw Nie Qing walked out first with his head sullen.

"He didn't say to help me?" Mu Xi Ze looked at the door and Su Ji in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, don't ask." Su Ji pushed his wheelchair over, helped him sit on it, and then pushed him back to ward 309.

Nie Qing was already waiting inside, and when he saw them coming in, he walked to the bedside and said, "Go on."

Mu Xi Ze and Su Ji looked at each other and nodded.

Nie Qing spread out the pile of materials just now on the bed again. Although he was facing Su and Mu, he spoke more like he was talking to himself.

"I just talked about the time and method of the two murderers entering and leaving the murder scene. Now let's talk about why He Tian suddenly went to find Zhou Jun on the day of the crime."

Nie Qing paused slightly, "We unlocked the mobile phone that fell at the scene of the murder, and it was verified that it was indeed He Tian's mobile phone. From the mobile phone, we did not find any chat records related to Zhou Jun. The murderer took the initiative to delete it. And in Room 3702, we did not find any women's articles or clothing, and there were no traces of people other than Zhou Jun living there. In this way, we have no direct clues to prove that He Regarding the relationship between Tian and Zhou Jun, it is also impossible to confirm who and how He Tian was called to the scene of the crime that day."

"I've been talking for a long time, but it's like I haven't said anything." Mu Xize complained tepidly.

Nie Qing looked at him, and actually nodded, "Yes, it sounds very frustrating, but it is the truth. So everything I'm going to say next is just my personal speculation. I want you to listen to it. My thoughts, if you find anything illogical or contradictory to the facts, please interrupt me at any time and help me point it out. Thank you.”

"Why should Team Leader Nie be so polite all of a sudden. Say it, let's listen." Mu Xize felt that Nie Qing's current state seemed a little strange, and it was not good to provoke him again, so his attitude was finally somewhat serious.

"Okay, then I'll start talking." Nie Qing took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

"In my speculation, I must first clarify a premise. I think that among the two murderers currently assumed, one of them is Fu Mingjie, the current head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

Muxi Ze: "What?!"

Su Ji: "You mean Fu Team??"

"En." Nie Qing nodded, "I know you will find it incredible, but please listen to me and finish my reasons first."

"First of all, in the several cases that happened this time, except for Bai Zhang and He Tian, ​​the victims all showed a common characteristic-that is, they all trusted the murderer very much. But from the perspective of their interpersonal relationship, to find It is almost impossible to come up with a public contact that all of them can trust unconditionally. So I was wondering, who would be so capable that non-specific targets can easily trust them? The answer is Obviously - the police."

At this moment, Nie Qing took out his notepad and opened a page, only to see that it was densely but neatly filled with various summaries of his personality and behavior characteristics of the murderer.

"Look," Nie Qing pointed his finger on the paper, "Through the investigation of the current case, we can draw some conclusions. I will not talk about the too general character traits, but the specific behavioral traits. It can be seen that The murderer who killed Dean Su, Qiu Ruimin, Yang Zhengdong, and Zhou Jun was a veteran criminal investigator. He committed crimes cleanly, cleaned up the scene very well, and had very professional anti-reconnaissance capabilities. Whether it was the monitoring facilities inside the building or parking He is very familiar with the traffic monitoring facilities set up in the field and even at the intersection. I can say without exaggeration that even the surveillance video we have that has his image appeared on it, he intentionally left it for us to see."

"Intentionally?" Su Ji interrupted Nie Qing at this time, and asked, "You mean the surveillance video of the Palm Tree Camp this time? Why do you think it was left on purpose by him?"

"It may be a bit absolute to say 'intentionally', but at least he didn't leave it by accident." Nie Qing looked at Su Jidao, "Surveillance video, although the authority and procedures before calling it will be a little troublesome, but it is not absolute. No, so he must have thought of this. And with his ability, if we really want to destroy the monitoring records, we will definitely not be able to find anything."

"But what is the purpose of his recording? Waiting to be discovered? If he really wants to be caught, why does he have to dress up so tightly, and even use an umbrella to cover the camera when he enters the elevator, and just walk in with a big swagger? Already?" Musize said noncommittally.

Nie Tingting shook his head slightly, "His real purpose is hard to say for now, but my current guess is that he used this kind of cover-up method just to delay the time for us to catch him, not really wanting to get rid of the crime..."

"Team Leader Nie, do you mean that the murderer himself wants to be caught by the police?" Mu Xi Ze stroked his beard that hadn't fully protruded from his lips, "Why?"

"I don't know. I just have a feeling that if the murderer is the captain, he might really do this..." Nie Qing lowered his head slightly as he spoke.

Mu Xi Ze stared at him for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Why do you suspect that the murderer is Captain Fu?"

"The captain has too many suspicious words and deeds recently, but it was Yang Zhengdong's case that really made me pay attention to him." Nie Qing exhaled softly, then cleared his mind, and then dismissed his suspicions about the police insider. The story of someone leaking the secret was told in full.

……

"Understood. From this point of view, under the circumstances at that time, the few of us were indeed suspicious." Mu Xi Ze said after listening to Nie Qing's words.

"Well, I was most skeptical about you and the captain." Nie Qing saw Mu Xi Ze raised his eyebrows for a moment, then ignored it and continued: "However, among the few of you, the only one who has time to commit crimes is the captain. one person."

"So, you suspected that I was in collusion with Team Fu, right?" Mu Xi Ze looked at Nie Qing, "The phone number you asked me to track for you earlier belongs to him?"

"No, it belonged to Luo Qi, he was following the captain at that time." Nie Qing said truthfully.

Mu Xi Ze couldn't help but sneered when he heard the words, he turned his head and asked Su Ji: "Xiao Ji, do you know about this?"

"I..." Su Ji was stunned, "I know part of it."

Mu Xi Ze gave a soft "Oh", "It seems that you don't completely trust me. But it doesn't matter, I am an outsider to you after all, and I never expected that you would accept me in such a short period of time It is estimated that after this case is over, you will not want to have any interaction with me again. Since everyone is so close, it is better to hurry up and do what needs to be done, which is good for each other. "

"Caesar...don't say that...we—I didn't treat you as an outsider." Su Ji hesitated for a moment, then changed his words.

Mu Xize smiled at him after hearing this, "Xiao Ji, I'm not talking out of anger, don't worry too much. Let's continue talking about the case. According to Team Leader Nie just said, even if Team Leader Fu is really suspected, this reasoning is still the same. There's something that doesn't make sense."

"For example?" Nie Qing looked at him seriously.

"For example, in these several cases, the attitude of the victims towards the murderer has more than one thing in common, but Team Leader Nie didn't point it out."

Mu Xize pulled Nie Qing's notepad out of his hand very smoothly, and said calmly while holding it with his fingers: "The first case, President Su's case, President Su took the initiative to close the hospital building. In the third case, the case of Qiu Ruimin, the deceased hurried to the backyard parking lot to meet the murderer after getting off work at 227 o'clock in the evening. The fourth case, the case of Yang Zhengdong, The deceased deliberately avoided the section with surveillance video, and went to the basement of No. [-] Wenhua Road, Funing County alone, suspecting that he had also received instructions from the murderer. In the fifth case, the Zhou Jun case, the deceased met the murderer alone at one o'clock in the morning. In a property unknown to those around."

Speaking of this, Mu Xi Ze paused for a few seconds, as if deliberately giving the audience time to think, and then asked: "Did you find the problem?"

"Concealment..." Nie Qing's face was even more gloomy than before, "Another thing in common, there seems to be some invisible ties between the deceased and the murderer..."

"That's right." Mu Xi Ze closed the notepad with a "snap", the slightly dull sound made Nie Qing's heart sink suddenly, and she looked up at him subconsciously.

"Group Leader Nie, if the murderer is Captain Fu as you said, how do you explain the connection between him and the dead? It is impossible for the dead to meet alone with someone who wants to take revenge on him, so The Lin Nuan incident was by no means the reason for them to agree to meet with the murderer. The murderer and the deceased, I am afraid that there is a deeper level of interest involved. However, as the captain of the criminal investigation detachment, how could Captain Fu meet with these elite backbones in the medical field? Get involved? What good can they offer each other?"

Nie Qing didn't answer immediately after listening, but frowned in thought.

Mu Xize waited for a while, but he didn't see him, so he continued: "There is another very important question. Aren't there two murderers in this case? Judging from the murders of Zhou Jun and He Tian, ​​the two murderers They should know each other. Then do they have the same purpose of killing people? Are they all to avenge Lin Nuan? Or do they have their own desires?"

"I think everyone has their own needs." Nie Qing clasped one hand tightly around his temple and pressed hard, "The case of Bai Zhang is not easy to explain for the time being, but Zhou Jun and He Tian were killed by two murderers respectively. , but the reason is obvious. Assuming that the No.1 murderer is the captain, then on the day He Tian was killed, all his behaviors can be explained by "deliberately making an alibi". As for the No.2 murderer, I think he himself is the same as Lin Nuan has no special relationship, but there is some kind of cooperative or coercive relationship between him and the captain, so he will help the captain solve a goal, thus making his alibi established."

"Helping others kill, how likely is it—"

Before Mu Xi Ze finished speaking, Nie Qing's cell phone rang suddenly.

Seeing that the caller ID was "Liu Jinghua", Nie Qing's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly picked it up and put it to his ear: "Jinghua! Did you find anything?"

"Team leader!" Liu Jinghua was also in high spirits, and said loudly, "I found Lin Nuan!!"

"What did you say?!" Nie Qing suddenly stood up, "Did you find him in person?"

"No, I mean, I found his school! I'll send you the address, come here quickly!"

"Okay, I got it, let's go!" Nie Qing hung up the phone, as if the previous depressed mood was swept away, and said to Su Ji and Mu Xize with piercing eyes: "Lin Nuan's school has been found, I now Go over and have a look, maybe you can find a breakthrough! If Yu Sheng wakes up, tell him for me and tell him that I will come back after I finish the investigation."

Muxi Ze: "Understood."

"Do you want me to go with you?" Su Ji also stood up and asked.

Nie Qing shook his head, "No, you stay and watch the two of them, and contact them if you need anything."

"also."

As soon as Su Ji finished speaking, he saw Nie Qing picked up his coat and rushed out the door in a hurry.

The breakthrough must be found.
