Criminal Psychology

"One knife?" Lin Chen was very surprised. It is not easy to kill him with one knife, especially in a crowded crowd. It requires considerable technical difficulty to find the target's heart and avoid stabbing it hard into the ribs.

Zhang Xiaolong said seriously: "There is only one knife."

"It's very clean and neat." Xing Conglian read the forensic on-site records, turned the notes back and forth two pages, and frowned, "No murder weapon was found at the scene?"

"The murderer took it away." Zhang Xiaolong said, "The forensics department has already started digging through the trash cans."

"For such a sophisticated killer, there are estimated to be [-] ways to dispose of the weapon. Don't put your energy in the trash can."

After Xing Conglian finished speaking, he raised his umbrella and opened the blockade, and Lin Chen followed him into the scene.

"What do you think?" Xing Conglian said.

"There is only one knife, so passion killing can be ruled out first." Lin Chen paused, then stood beside Xing Conglian and said softly, "Impulsive crimes will not stop until the corpse and the scene are bloody."

"It won't be robbery." Xing Conglian put one hand in his pocket, "The wallet and mobile phone are still on the deceased's list of items at the scene."

Lin Chen raised his head inadvertently, and Xing Conglian's brows and eyes were cold and ironic.

He thought for a while, and then asked, "How likely do you think it is that Zhou Rui Pharmaceutical knew about the change in Dana, so it silenced the key insiders in advance?"

The sound of rain splashing on the umbrella surface made a rustling sound, and the conversation between the two of them was limited to within the scope of the umbrella surface.

"Consultant Lin, we are very aware of the probability." Xing Conglian said, "But it is a pity that we are Gaomeng people who have experienced dark rainforests, bloody drug factories, and were used by the whole clan as subjects for illegal drug experiments. They have never seen it, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to imagine. For many reasons, what happened there is destined to be temporarily sealed." He said, looking back at the police officers who started, and continued, "First of all, we have no Any evidence linking Zhourui Pharmaceuticals to the illegal human experiments that took place in the Dana Rainforest; secondly, even if we find such evidence, the crimes committed in the three-handed area should be sanctioned under the international law convention, It's still very difficult, and the lawyers of the big pharma companies are not vegetarians."

"Yeah." Lin Chen sighed, and while speaking, they had already walked to the place where Stankang's body had fallen, looked at the marks on the ground, and after a long time, Lin Chen said, "But they panicked, Murder cases are always within our jurisdiction." He raised his eyes, and the spiers of European-style buildings in the distance were looming in the depths of the rain, and the scene at that time emerged in front of his eyes. From north to south, there were really a lot of people at that time, and most of the people were rushing to the water magic stage to seize the favorable terrain, so Dr. Stankham was extremely disgusting against the flow of people. The goal is to walk until you meet the person and the knife that finally ended his life...

"The location of the crime is very intriguing. He chose to kill in a crowded place, which is very smart, but also very risky." Lin Chen said, "For the murderer, he must do this, and it may be too late."

"It's really too risky." Xing Conglian smacked his lips and continued, "And why did Stankang come here?"

"He came here alone, without any family members or children. If he didn't suddenly want to relax, it could only mean that he might be here to meet someone." Lin Chen said.

"Joint..." Xing Conglian said meaningfully, "That's why the murderer had to take the risk of killing him."

"This is just a possibility." Lin Chen said, "Of course it's a possibility based on what we know about things that cannot be said."

Xing Conglian nodded, sighing half-truthfully: "A good criminal investigation film must come up with a spy routine. If he is here to meet someone, then his course of action in the paradise must explain something……"

Xing Conglian nodded. There was a map of the park for visitors to use outside the store by the covered bridge. He took a copy and unfolded it.

Speaking of the layout of Hongjing Paradise, there is nothing special to say. Most amusement parks are divided into several areas. Lin Chen looked down and Xing Conglian moved his finger from the gate to the corridor bridge, and then turned backwards. Shouted, "Xiao Long, come here."

Comrade Zhang Xiaolong was talking to Wang Chao, upon hearing this, the two ran over together.

"Is there on-site surveillance?"

"Report to the Criminal Squad, basically none."

Xing Conglian glanced at the policewoman: "What do you mean basically nothing."

Zhang Xiaolong looked apologetic, "This angle is not easy to pretend, there is only a vague distant view."

"That is to say, you can't see the scene at the time of the crime?"

"That's it, and the park's surveillance is too old, pure black and white..." Zhang Xiaolong replied, "Just now, Lao Wang and the others have removed the surveillance, saying that the murderer is still holding a bunch of balloons to block his view."

"balloon?"

"Yes, the criminal squad, Lao Wang has already started to investigate the balloon seller, but the park said that there are almost 5000 people today, so..."

"So it's unlikely that the peddler can remember everyone who sold the balloons. Did you get any witnesses to make portraits?"

"I did look for it, but no one really noticed what the assailant looked like." Zhang Xiaolong touched the ballpoint pen with a helpless expression on his face.

Xing Conglian nodded, and looked at Wang Chao: "Wang Chao and Xiaolong are going to collect all the surveillance videos of the park today from its opening to its closing, and investigate Stankham's own action route in the park." He thought for a while, and then said, "Since the murderer is holding the iconic balloon, it should be relatively easy to locate his course of action and try to find it, but we still have to be careful of the tricks the murderer uses the balloon to do."

"Good criminal team!", "Understood boss!" Zhang Xiaolong and Wang Chao said with great enthusiasm.

After finishing speaking, the two little comrades ran away like flying.

Lin Chen raised his head, and Xing Conglian shook his head in the direction of the exit: "I've seen the scene, can we go, Consultant Lin?"

……

Lin Chen thought he could escape, but obviously he didn't.

Xing Conglian only took him to the scene for about 10 minutes, then drove him into the car and headed to Hongjing Hospital.

Because of the rain, the sky was dark, and the street lights on both sides were turned on early, and the whole city was immersed in the hazy rain.Lin Chen leaned on the seat, Xing Conglian was concentrating on driving, and the soothing violin music played from the stereo, which made him drowsy.

"are you sleepy?"

At the traffic lights, Xing Conglian stopped the car and patted his head.

Lin Chen hummed lightly, and continued to look down at the road map of the park in his hand, but felt sleepy, so he half-opened his eyes.

Xing Conglian stared at him for a while, and said, "Consultant Lin, I found that you spend more time looking at this map than mine."

"This is to make you have a sense of crisis."

Xing Cong said: "But don't sleep in the car, we will be there soon."

Lin Chen forced himself to sit upright, and said, "Captain Xing means that he will sleep in the hospital bed for several days soon, so don't sleep now..."

Xing Conglian laughed lowly: "Consultant Lin, you are making a fuss."

Lin Chen shook his hand and let go: "Drive well, I won't sleep."

"I mean, you're in better shape, can you stop focusing on the case?"

"I didn't put my heart and soul into it. Just now I thought you were very handsome driving, so I peeked at you for a while." Lin Chen said.

"Lin Chen..." Xing Conglian's tone was very helpless, as if he had guessed his thoughts, and continued, "This routine is very common, and I won't be caught repeatedly."

"Can Dynasty send me a copy of the live video? I want to see it." Lin Chen decided to confess. He felt that his next request might be a bit too much, but he continued, "I want to watch the video during that time period. The whole audience monitoring..."

Xing Conglian said, "Consultant Lin."

"exist."

"Where are we going now?"

"Hospital."

"Why are we going to the hospital?"

"Because I almost died of sepsis in Dana. Although it seems that my life is out of danger and I can gradually be alive and kicking, I still need to undergo a general examination and take a good rest."

"It seems that you know very well."

"But Captain Criminal, you see, there is no contradiction between taking a good rest and watching the surveillance. You can control my daily viewing time. As a public official, I still hope to make some contributions to solving the case within my ability."

"Tell the truth." Xing Conglian interrupted him.

Lin Chen felt that since he kissed Xing Conglian, the other party seemed to have acquired some of his bad habits, such as talking too sharply.

"I think this case is very weird. Although from the perspective of a simple case, this case is not complicated. The killer's method is simple and straightforward. At first glance, it looks like a big company killing people to cover up the crimes in the drug research and development process, but you Remember, what I told you, why I got involved in this case?"

"You killed a Zhou Rui pharmaceutical employee who pretended to be mentally ill and wanted to murder Jiang Chao's wife."

"Yes, this is also the reason why Duanyang came to me. Let's not mention the later things, but let's look back at this matter now. Zhou Rui's new drug "Nordlun" has been approved for marketing, and Mrs. Jiang is still alive. , so why they took the risk to murder Mrs. Jiang, I don't understand this." Lin Chen lowered his eyes.

"Are you afraid that you will kill innocent people indiscriminately?" Xing Conglian frowned, "Why do you suddenly have such thoughts."

"I'm not a person who doubts myself. I'm sure that my judgment at the time was not wrong. But you see, it's useless for me to say so. This is too idealistic. I need sufficient realistic evidence to prove this."

"Stankang was stabbed to death suddenly. I tell you that Zhou Rui Pharmaceutical may have resorted to a dangerous move for the smooth launch of a new drug, and will not hesitate to kill someone?"

"Yes, if a company is a group, then Zhourui Pharmaceutical gives me the feeling that it is too crazy. They can retreat calmly in Dana, and even Zaratul dares to make a move. Why are they doing so badly now? Calm down? Although Duanyang has explained to me the problems of the entire drug industry chain, including R&D investment and necessary cost recovery in the later stage, I still think that they can obviously take a break and find other ways out. Why are they doing what they are doing now at all costs? Promote drug marketing?"

"Good question, Consultant Lin."

"Based on the above considerations, I think we must solve the case of Stankang's murder as soon as possible and find the core breakthrough of the whole case."

Xing Conglian thought about it for a long time, then turned the car into the street of the hospital in Hongjing City, and said, "I understand, but I still have to be hospitalized, and I will follow the doctor's orders."

Hearing this, Lin Chen stopped talking.

About to drive into the hospital area, Xing Conglian slowed down the speed of the car, and finally said slowly: "To be honest, to me, Zhou Rui Pharmaceutical's messy things may not be as important as your little finger. It may sound a little nasty, but it's my The true thoughts in your heart. I really don't want to see these things make you spend your mind and energy during your recovery. "

Lin Chen wanted to speak, but Xing Conglian held his hand and stopped him.

"I really want to associate with you very seriously, appreciate your achievements in the professional field, and respect your independent personality. But in fact, I also know very well that we are changing from one relationship to another in the process of falling in love , you must be a good colleague and a good lover. Actually, I am not as big as you think. My inner thought is to lock you in a private nursing home with 24 hours of strict care, but of course it is not possible. I don’t respect you enough and ignore your original wishes. I know all of these things, so now choosing Hongjing Hospital is almost the last bottom line after I have made psychological adjustments. I admit that there are my reasons for this, but after going through After you were kidnapped, I need to do some psychological construction before I can let you run outside, and please give me some time to adjust my mentality."

Xing Conglian parked the car in the parking space and ended the conversation.

The twilight was hazy outside the window, and the whole hospital looked less cold in the slanting wind and drizzle and the gradually brightening lights.

"Sorry, I should be more considerate of your feelings." Lin Chen was speechless for a long time, and he finally said this.

Xing Conglian stretched out his hand to him: "That's a good cooperation, Consultant Lin?"

Lin Chen put his hand up: "Have a nice cooperation, Captain Xing."

Xing Conglian seemed to have received some great guarantee, with a relieved expression on his face: "That is to say, if I have something to tell you, you will be considerate, right?"

The turning point came too fast, Lin Chen looked at Xing Conglian suspiciously, only to see that the other party held up an umbrella, got out of the car, then opened the car door on his side, and invited him out of the car door with a little solemnity.

"Except for telling me that you are married now, you can try your best to be considerate of other things."

Seeing that Xing Conglian's tone of voice was really disturbed, Lin Chen had to say it half-jokingly with his arms around his waist.

"Of course not!" Xing Conglian said seriously, "It's something I wanted to tell you a long time ago. Although you haven't asked, I have to explain clearly."

Xing Conglian took him to the trunk of the jeep, took out the key, and gently pressed the button to unlock the trunk.

The trunk door popped open slowly. Although Lin Chen had seen this scene many times, when the door popped open, he still wanted to say that the trunk of Xing Conglian's jeep was really messy.

Drinking water, small snacks thrown by Wang Dynasty, various unknown electronic equipment accessories, car cleaning rags piled up in the corner, scattered paper materials, and of course, the toolbox lying in it.

Xing Conglian leaned over, opened the toolbox, and then dragged it out a little, in order to let him see it more clearly: "My mother said that according to the tradition of Huaguo, a man will become bad when he has money. I know where her fallacies come from, but in short, you should take my private money... um, there is such a thing as private money, right?"

Lin Chen listened to Xing Conglian's unclear explanation, and turned his attention to the toolbox he just opened, which still continued the style of Xing Conglian's trunk.

There were scattered repair tools, wrenches or screws, and various colorful VIP cards pressed on a stack of papers. The VIP cards were exactly the ones Xing Conglian took out last time. In short, there were no gold bars and Diamond, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Let me confiscate your toolbox, why are you so cute?"

But just when he was relaxing and looking at Xing Conglian, he suddenly heard the other party seriously say in a rare and solemn voice: "I need to introduce myself again..." Xing Conglian paused, as if he bowed slightly, " Consultant Lin, my surname is Xing."

"I know your surname is Xing..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked up at the other party.

Xing Conglian's brows and eyes were blurred in the twilight, but his back was straight and his expression was dignified, and the aura of nobility exuding from his whole body could not be concealed by the twilight.

Lin Chen felt that his ears were rumbling for a moment, but Xing Conglian's voice was still very clear and powerful.

He said: "It's not the sword, but the right ear. My father's surname is Xing Liyuan, and my mother is from the Zhou family in southern Anhui. In order to respond to the one-child policy, they only gave birth to me."

Lin Chen was shocked in his heart and was speechless for a while.

The two names that Xing Conglian mentioned are really shocking.

Although some previous clues made him vaguely feel that Xing Conglian might be someone from the Xing family, but he always felt that Xing Conglian might be a small relative of the Xing family who eats shares. It has nothing to do with his love interest who likes to eat crayfish at a roadside stand.

For five minutes or longer, various thoughts flashed through Lin Chen's mind. He felt that he had found a gold mine, so he should laugh, but he couldn't quite make it.Xing Conglian now has a golden glow all over his body, but this is really troublesome. Why is the Xing family so self-willed, let the eldest grandson of the housekeeper run out to become a policeman, Xing Conglian doesn't look like he has a falling out with his family.So how does Boss Xing feel about his only son having a boyfriend...

In short, thinking of the end, Lin Chen could only look at the other party, and asked earnestly in the same tone: "Such an important conversation about the truth about your life experience, do you have to say it in front of your trunk?"

Not only facing the trunk, but also at the corner of the hospital parking lot, which is too casual.

Xing Conglian showed a faint smile, with a hint of genuine joy.

Lin Chen felt that the other party put his hand on his waist, then pulled him into his arms, and said slowly: "I want you to know these things, not because they are particularly important, in fact, these things are important to me in essence. It is not a big deal to me. And I am also very clear that these things are not a big deal to you. It will neither affect your opinion of me nor change our relationship in any way. The reason why I want to tell You, it's just because I don't want to make it appear that I'm deliberately hiding something from you because of this kind of no big deal, I want you to know, that's all."

The central idea of ​​Xing Conglian's sentence is: the content is not a big deal, the main thing is that my reporting attitude is correct, you have to look at this point.

Lin Chen leaned on Xing Conglian's shoulders, watching the street lights gradually rise in the distance, dyeing the rainy night with tenderness.Probably because the surroundings were indeed very quiet, and his heartbeat, which had been accelerated by Xing Conglian's words just now, quickly calmed down.

As Xing Conglian said, the fact that the family is rich does not seem to be a big deal.Even though he thought so, he had to emphasize: "You also think too much of me as a saint, which of course will affect my opinion of you."

"Like what?" Xing Conglian held up an umbrella, covering the two of them.

Lin Chen felt the deep smile coming from the other party: "For example..." He thought for a while, and found that poor people really can't even think of squandering ideas. In order to save his dignity, he could only reluctantly say, "For example, tonight I Don't want to eat hospital dinner."

"What do you want to eat, which country, I will inform them to send the chef and the ingredients by air."

Lin Chen shivered: "I'm sorry, I pretended I didn't say anything just now."

"That's right, the air freight takes too long, so it's not right to make you hungry. For dinner today, Hongjing only has a Michelin three-star restaurant. Tell them to close the store and let us go eat?"

"No, I'll take a good hospital meal, can we talk about something else?"

"What are you talking about, what else do you want to know?"

Lin Chen still couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked, "What's in the toolbox?"

After thinking about it, Xing Conglian reported: "The messy invoices and checks... are not the ones bought from Taobao. I didn't take a closer look at some land deeds, and maybe some company's share contracts..."

Lin Chen suddenly raised his head, put a little distance from Xing Conglian, and tried to calm himself down: "This kind of thing...you, why...don't you put it in the bank vault?"

"It's all small change, I'm really too lazy to put it away, it's just by my side..." Xing Conglian took it for granted.

Lin Chen couldn't listen anymore, so he could only interrupt Xing Conglian: "I have a headache, let's go to the hospital for an examination."

He said that he was about to drag Xing Conglian to the hospital, hoping to get as far away from the jeep as possible, but Xing Conglian stayed where he was and didn't move.

"What?" Lin Chen asked back.

"You forgot something." Xing Conglian said.

"What?" Lin Chensheng was very vigilant because he was afraid that the other party would bring up the toolbox again.

Before he could finish his sentence, Xing Conglian broke his head, leaned close to his lips, and whispered, "Sir, there should be a kiss here."

The scorching breath sprayed on the side of his face, and before he could answer, Xing Conglian's lips had already covered it.

Lin Chen closed his eyes.

The twilight is all together, the rain is quiet, and everything is just right.
