track criminals

Shun Lin City.

A case of burglary and homicide occurred in Liying Community, causing a sensation in the police circle.Because it was the same as the Baochuan case 13 years ago, the nameless devil who had been hiding for nine years came out again to wreak havoc.

Thirteen years ago, Baochuan Town, whose geographical conditions were not so convenient for development, was an unknown place, where several serial murders that shocked the whole country took place.The culprits are all in the spring, a beautiful time of recovery, when they enter and murder a family, leaving their rotting corpses behind.

Such a cruel thing is unimaginable for a small town, and someone I know around me may be a murderer.Under the panic of the people, and in that era of underdeveloped technology, the case was still difficult to solve, which made a small town that was originally ordinary, instantly bound to words like "depressive ghost town", "perverted madness" and "murderer". Together, a gloomy city of terror seems to be established.

More than ten years have passed, and the local police chief has changed four times. The criminal police officers in charge of the case have even reached retirement age, and the case is still unsolved.Instead, it was the nameless criminal who, as if mocking him, stopped committing crimes nine years ago.

This weird and subtle result made the police officers involved in the investigation of the case very exhausted and discouraged, and it seemed that all their efforts were in vain.Nine long years passed, and the police speculated that the criminal might have died in some accident, but now, the murderer slapped the police in the face with a new case and a letter.

Registered mail is a distinctive feature of the murderer in the Baochuan case.After the killing, it is not the end of the murderer’s crime, but he has to send a printed letter to the police in the form of an anonymous registered letter. The paper is full of detailed killing process, and he proudly announces that he has done it all by himself. of.

At that time, the police immediately went to check the post office where the letter was delivered, but found nothing. The murderer had a strong sense of anti-investigation and was very cautious to prevent exposure.

Today, the police are once again forced to face such a situation.

And because it is summer, the weather is hot, and the electricity consumption is too large, so we can only arrange time-sharing and slice-by-slice power supply in turn. At the time of the incident, there was a power outage in Liying Community, and monitoring was of no use.

The crime scene in Liying Community.

Ying Shen and others have arrived and are simulating the scene at that time.

"There is no sign of picking the lock at the door. The murderer may have used some means to make the owner of the house willing to let him in. For example, he looks harmless and needs help." Shen Wenqin stood in the middle of the living room, facing the door to analyze, " But as soon as he entered the house, he showed his true colors and pointed his weapon at the victim."

Next to them is the fixed line of corpse traces, and the location of the victim is clear at a glance.

Ying Shen asked, "Who did the murderer kill first?"

Shen Wenqin subconsciously said: "Adult men are a big threat, we should get rid of the male owner of the house first."

Before the words were finished, a warm hand rested on the back of his neck, and a deep and flat voice sounded.

"If you don't get ready from behind, you can stop it with a knife. For example - don't move around, or you will kill your wife and son."

Shen Wenqin was startled, and looked back at him.

Ying Shen continued: "Judging from the degree of blood congestion left by the wrists of the corpse, Xu Lifeng was killed after watching his family members being strangled to death by the murderer."

"Based on this, the murderer's main target is likely to be the father? Forcing him to watch his family members being murdered but powerless, and then strangling him with a rope to suffocate him to death, both mental and physical abuse." Shen Wenqin stared at the man. The original location of the owner's body, "The items at the scene were messy, like traces of a fight. But according to the autopsy report, Xu Lifeng's family had no defensive injuries, so it may be that the murderer himself destroyed the scene after committing the crime - it was a reaction to the crime." The method of investigation, or venting anger?"

"It's all possible."

Ying looked down at the yellow line on the ground, pondered, and reproduced the scene of the murderer's crime in his mind.

The victim, Xu Lifeng, had his hands tied behind his back with a rope and knelt down on his knees, begging the murderer to let his family members go, but a happy expression slowly appeared on the devil's face, as if he was watching some wonderful movie, and then he showed no mercy They strangled them with a rope, one by one, leaving behind a lot of corpses.

"However, I think Xu Lifeng may represent someone in the murderer's heart. His crimes are highly targeted, and it is more likely that he will act out of emotion."

After finishing speaking, Ying Shen turned his head and continued to look around. The moment he raised his head, his eyes happened to be on the window. Through a thin layer of glass, he found a young man staring at this place with unusual concentration.That look is very different in the crowd.

Ying Shen couldn't help frowning, turned around and wanted to ask the local police officer if that person had anything to do with the case.But as soon as he moved, Shen Wenqin asked first, and then turned around with a charming smile and said, "You want to ask this, right?"

Ying Shen was slightly taken aback, somewhat at a loss that he didn't expect, and then nodded.

On the other side, Jian Di and Chen Zhijie had just come out of the master bedroom, and they didn't find much. They only knew that the victim's family was a harmonious couple, and it was an ordinary family. There was also Xu Lifeng's wedding anniversary gift for his wife in the bedside cabinet.

Chen Zhijie couldn't help but said: "It's too bad to die on the day before the wedding anniversary."

Jian Di's expression is relatively flat, "The murderer will not let you go because you are a good person, you have important things to do, or you are young. They only care about how to kill people to get more pleasure."

Chen Zhijie turned his head abruptly and looked at her almost in shock.But in the next second, she had to admit that what she said was the truth, but because it was the truth, she felt even more cruel when she heard it.

Walking into the child's bedroom, the eyes swept everywhere.

"It's too tidy." Chen Zhijie frowned slightly, "This child is eight years old, but there is no toy in this room. Generally speaking, there are always some models of cars and airplanes on the desks of boys of this age, disassembled and assembled. Playing, but he doesn’t have it. Instead, there is a stack of exercise books on the table, more like a high school student.”

Jian Di opened the drawer and found that the things inside were also neat.Opening them one by one, there is an award certificate in the bottom drawer, the third prize in the Provincial Mathematical Olympiad.

After staring at it for a while, Jian Di said: "His parents should pay great attention to his self-discipline and sense of honor."

Chen Zhijie said: "When I came in just now, I saw a piano in the living room. It really does not let the children lose at the starting line."

They continued to look around the house in case they missed any detailed clues.

Standing next to the shattered TV, Chen Zhijie frowned, opened his mouth, and still couldn't help asking the question just now: "Senior sister, after dealing with many cases, you will feel that these are very common, and you will get used to them. Are you even numb? I, I’m not saying that you are cold, but I can’t understand it. From the textbooks, the video pictures, and the actual scene, the feeling is completely different. I watched it in class Case, there will not be too many reactions, that is..."

Seeing that the young newcomer didn't know what he was talking about after he opened his mouth, looking confused and at a loss, Jian Di raised his hand to interrupt and said: "I understand what you mean, how about it, anyway, you are up to it." Let me bring it, and now treat it as my first lesson for you."

She turned around, fully revealing the crime scene behind her, with traces left by forensic personnel everywhere.This scene is very common in TV dramas and classrooms, but the reality is always somewhat different, even huge.You know that a family of three died here, and where you are standing, not long ago, someone called for help when he was dying, but there was no response, and he could only die in despair and pain.It seemed that the air was dark and oppressive, suffocating.

Jian Di said: "The theories you read in textbooks are very clear. Most of the cases are settled. What the professor takes you to the prison to see are criminals who have been arrested. They have nowhere to escape, so they will Restrain your sharpness, and now you are joining the grassroots, and you encounter people who have not been tried and sentenced. They are not called criminals, they are all suspects, and they are more cunning and dangerous. Only by calming down and not working with too much personal emotion can you find people who are easy to be ignored Come on, now, analyze the victim’s family based on what you see in front of you.”

Chen Zhijie, who was thinking about it, regained his energy when he heard it, and quickly expressed his analysis, "We just looked at the kitchen and bedroom, and the home decoration is very different from the living room. Their family is very concerned about face, and they leave a good impression in front of outsiders." The impression is that the decoration of the living room is obviously much more expensive, and the place where others can’t see it is cheaper and more casual. In addition, they love their son very much and are proud of him. The child’s award is posted on the wall, there are also trophies on the cabinet, and the coffee table is conspicuous There is a simple clay cup in the place, which is probably made by the son, and there are a few Father's Day and Mother's Day gifts that their son made by himself when he was younger, and they all keep them well!"

After finishing speaking almost in one breath, he looked at Jian Di anxiously, expecting her nod of affirmation.

Jian Di smiled and nodded, "The analysis is basically correct."

Chen Zhijie's eyes lit up immediately, his expression was excited, and he felt the joy of winning the first battle.The tension of going to the crime scene for the first time also faded a little.

Jian Di was about to continue to say something, but her eyes were suddenly attracted by the things on the cabinet.

It was a wooden frame covering the cabinet, and there were several family photos with bright smiles next to it, but this was the only one that fell down, and it was much larger than the frame.

She picked it up through her gloves. It was a child's painting, and there was no trace of forensic personnel's touch. The original appearance of the crime scene may be the behavior of the murderer.

With a serious heart, Jian Di immediately raised her head to look at the surrounding walls.According to their love for their son, the painting should not be covered here, but placed in a conspicuous place.Sure enough, she soon found traces of paintings on the wall next to her.After the extra picture frame on the table was picked up, it naturally revealed what was covered underneath.

Jian Di narrowed her eyes slightly, lowered her body, and kept her gaze parallel to the table.The tabletop has unnatural rectangular streaks, which contrast sharply with the shallow traces of dust around it.There should have been two photo frames here, but they were taken away.

But what is there to take about the family photo of the victim? It’s not a valuable property. Could it be kept as a souvenir?But why these two?What's so special about it?

Jian Di frowned, and suddenly waved at Chen Zhijie, "Come and help me move this cabinet away."

Chen Zhijie stepped forward immediately.

As the distance between the wall and the cabinet widened enough to see the space hidden behind, Jian Di said, "It's ok."

She bent over and picked up something.

Two photo frames are missing.

One photo is a happy family of four, father, mother, and two cute little boys, aged about eight and five years old, the younger one is very thin and looks not in good health.

The other picture shows the mother holding the baby in swaddling clothes, with a gentle smile on her face. The child closed his eyes and clenched his small hands into white fists on his chest, sleeping soundly.

It was obviously a warm photo, but Jian Di's face changed when she saw it, and she raised her voice to call Ying Shen and the others to come over.

"There are four people in their family, and the younger son escaped unharmed."

Hearing this, Ying Shen and the others also frowned silently.

Since the first case committed by the murderer 15 years ago, it has been a massacre of extermination.From the moment the murderer walked in the door, he had no intention of letting anyone go.It may be a family of seven with three generations under the same roof, or a small family of three with only one son, but the only thing that remains the same is that every family that was murdered also has a little boy about ten years old.

For the murderer, this must have extraordinary significance. What's more, he may regard the little boy in the victim's family as his childhood self.

"But why did the murderer hide the photo frame? What's the point?" Chen Zhijie couldn't figure it out, it contradicted the criminal's psychological portrait.
