Mystery Tracker 2

The physical inspection work of the forensic team ended in the afternoon of the second day.Similar to Berland's situation, Gerald's belongings did not find any clues that could help solve the case.On the other hand, the serious crime team's visits to the deceased's school colleagues and neighbors were also fruitless. If Boland, as the company boss, may have conflicts with some people due to work reasons, as a foreign teacher Gerald really looked harmless.Gerald has a cheerful personality, gets along well with colleagues, and gets along well with students. As a foreign teacher, he has no pressure to go to higher education, so he has no reason to be excluded or hated.The teachers and students of the international school were all surprised by Gerald's death, and they couldn't imagine that anyone would kill such a funny and kind-hearted boy.And their doubts are almost the same as the doubts of the serious crime team and the forensic team.

"So, why did the murderer target these two people?" In the office, Qin Kai frowned as he looked at their files, "Tell me about these two people, one is in his forties, the other in his early twenties; the other is the boss of the company. , one is a foreign teacher at the school; one is a middle-class man with a car and a house, and the other is a poor boy who teaches and saves money... What do they have in common that makes the murderer never forget them and deliberately kill them?"

"It's not that there are no similarities at all," Cheng Haiyang replied, wrestling his fingers, "First, both of them are French, and both of them are male; second, both of them were killed during or after exercising. .”

"But these two things don't constitute any directivity!" Qin Kai retorted, "For the fitness thing, we searched all the people Gerald could meet in the gym today, but we didn't find anyone suspected of committing the crime. "As for the French, not to mention the activity week between our city and France during this period, there are quite a few French in our city for the few French foreign companies before, right? Why did the murderer only pick them?"

Cheng Haiyang naturally couldn't answer this question, so he looked at Shen Yan: "Boss, what do you think?"

Shen Yan didn't answer right away. He thought for a while before saying: "The murderer specially picked foreign men. There must be a reason. It's just that we haven't discovered the reason yet. In fact, we have two ideas for this case. It is to find the common ground between the two deceased, that is, the reason that stimulated the murderer to commit the crime; the second is the relationship between the two, that is, how the murderer can contact these two people at the same time."

"In terms of the reason for the murder, I don't think it's a vendetta." It was Jiang Li who spoke, "No.2 The deceased was a young man who had just arrived in China, and it is difficult to have any conflicts with others when working as a foreign teacher in school. Moreover, the identities and backgrounds of these two people are very different, and no one should have conflicts with them at the same time."

"But if it's love killing, it probably doesn't make sense..." Cheng Haiyang followed Jiang Li's thinking and analyzed, "Berland and his wife have been married for several years, and they even have children; De is single and doesn't even have a girlfriend now. This doesn't look like a love affair!"

"For money is even more unbelievable," Qin Kai continued, "not to mention that Gerald has no money, the murderer always chooses to kill people after exercising, and when most people exercise, he brings the least amount of money, okay?! "

"Actually, I think that the reason for the murderer's murder is not necessarily what we usually think." Fang Liyuan said, "If it was a general vendetta murder, based on our previous investigation, we should have found the suspect long ago. We now There has been no progress, which shows that the reason for the murderer's murder is probably not similar to that of ordinary murderers. It may even be some trivial things that the deceased himself does not know. Then he felt hatred in his heart and waited for an opportunity to commit murder."

"That is to say, the murderer has a psychological problem?!" Cheng Haiyang said.

"I think there is such a possibility." Fang Liyuan said.

"I think what Li Yuan said is very reasonable." Shen Yan also agreed, "The murderer is obviously a thoughtful person. He followed the deceased, grasped the law of the deceased's actions, and could choose the most favorable terrain and time to attack. Escape quickly without leaving any clues. All these require precise planning and arrangements. Those who can do this must have a careful heart. And the more careful the person, the more sensitive they are, so the situation Li Yuan said Very likely."

"Then how should we investigate?" Cheng Haiyang asked, "We don't know who is narrow-minded around them!"

"No, we can change our thinking and think about who among the people the two of us usually come into contact with, which ones meet the conditions of a murderer." Shen Yan said, his eyes lit up with clear thinking, "This kind of thoughtful person usually They should be engaged in some delicate work, such as drawing, making precision components, etc... We will check to see who among the people who had contact with the two deceased are engaged in similar work."

Several people immediately felt that they had a feeling. Everyone picked up the files on the table and immediately began to look through them.

"Bolland's colleagues and wife all said that he would go to several high-end western restaurants. The work of a western food chef should be quite delicate, right?"

"But Gerald doesn't seem to go to that kind of restaurant. His colleagues say he prefers Chinese food."

"Berland is in charge of R&D and design in the unit, and those designers are also very detailed, right?"

"Well, that's an idea, but they shouldn't be able to get in touch with Gerrard, right?"

"Hey, have you noticed something?..." After a while, Qin Kai seemed to have discovered, "Berland's unit is currently under construction, and the upstairs gym where Gerald works out is also being renovated. What do you say , could the murderer be someone from the decoration team?..."

? !

Several people looked down at the dossier at the same time, and sure enough, as Qin Kai said, there really was such a thing in the documents of the two of them.

"If you want to talk about fine craftsmanship in the decoration team, it should be considered carpentry, right?" Cheng Haiyang said.

"Carpentry is one category, and the craftsmanship of bricklayers should not be bad. Moreover, designers need to be careful when measuring and designing." Fang Liyuan said.

"It seems that there are quite a few people who meet the requirements!" Cheng Haiyang looked at Shen Yan: "Boss, when will the investigation be done?"

Shen Yan looked at his watch, "Citroen must be off work now, and the gym must still be open. Let's go to the gym today and go to Citroen tomorrow."

"it is good."

On the morning of August 8th, the serious crime team finally got the list of decoration teams on both sides.A decoration company named Dingsheng undertook the interior decoration work of the gym. This company is not big, and there are not many people involved in the project.As for the construction and interior decoration of two apartment buildings at Citroen, not only the construction team of civil engineering, but also two companies participated in the interior design work. These two companies are Caifei and Quanyi.Everyone compared the long lists, but to their disappointment, they still did not find any overlapping names.However, the Serious Crime Squad did not completely abandon this line because of this. They still registered all the personnel who met the two major elements of "occupation" and "body shape" in preparation for the next step of comparison.

"This is the list we initially collected," Shen Yan handed the list to Cheng Jinsong and Li Jiayu in the office of the forensic team, "How long will it take for you to finish testing these people?"

Cheng Jinsong and Li Jiayu looked at the list of more than twenty people, they looked at each other, and finally Cheng Jinsong replied: "It will probably take a day."

"If you start the investigation in the afternoon, can you do it here?"

Cheng Jinsong looked at Li Jiayu, and Li Jiayu said, "In terms of drugs, there are still some cases left in Yunxi County. It should not be a problem to investigate at least a dozen people."

"That's enough." Shen Yan said, "After the people on the list come, I will check their alibi first. I guess some of them can be directly excluded. There should be no more than 20 left .”

"Okay then," Cheng Jinsong nodded, "Then I'll let someone prepare. When you bring someone here, we'll start the investigation right away."

"it is good."

So, in the afternoon of that day, Shen Yan called all the suspicious objects found in the initial screening to the Public Security Bureau. They first checked the alibi by the serious crime team, and those who could not provide a definite alibi were directly asked to compare DNA.Of course, not everyone is willing to cooperate and offer, and it will inevitably take a lot of talking.But fortunately, several people in the serious crime team are experienced in many battles. After everyone's hard work and persuasion, these people are finally willing to cooperate.

Outside the inspection room, Shen Yan looked at Li Jiayu, Xu Rou and others who were busy in the room, and asked Cheng Jinsong softly: "Do you think there will be a real murderer among these people?"

Cheng Jinsong knew what Shen Yan meant—if it was the real murderer, he must know that his hand was scratched by the second deceased, Gerald, and he would definitely not agree to provide DNA.And now that these people have agreed to provide it with almost no effort, it is very likely that they all have a clear conscience, that is to say, they are probably not the murderer.Seeing Shen Yan's serious expression, Cheng Jinsong shook his hand: "Whether there is a real murderer or not, this process is necessary."

Shen Yan nodded.Cheng Jinsong just wanted to comfort him a few more words, but his cell phone rang.Cheng Jinsong's expression froze when he saw the caller - it was Xia Nan again.

Cheng Jinsong subconsciously glanced at Shen Yan beside him.

Sensing Cheng Jinsong's gaze, Shen Yan looked over: "What's wrong? Who's calling?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Cheng Jinsong turned his eyes and picked up the phone, "Hello."

"Jin Song, it's me, Xia Nan. I want to ask if you have time tonight? Someone gave me two movie tickets, do you have time to accompany me to see it?"

"Sorry, I have something to do at the police station today, so I can't go."

"Oh, that's right, it's okay, work is important. Let's talk about it next time."

"OK, bye."

"Whose phone number?" Shen Yan asked again.

Cheng Jinsong turned his head away, only to see that Shen Yan was also turning his head to look at him, his expression didn't seem to be a casual question.Cheng Jinsong's heart moved for some reason, and he told himself intuitively that he must not lie at this moment, so he said frankly: "It's Xia Nan. She said that someone gave her two movie tickets, and she wanted to ask me if I wanted to see it. I told her No time, refused."

Shen Yan's expression froze - hearing that a woman asked Cheng Jinsong to watch a movie, Shen Yan's first reaction was of course upset, but Cheng Jinsong's answer was too frank, which made him unable to get angry even if he wanted to.

So Shen Yan had no choice but to say in a dull voice: "You two have a very good relationship, and I even asked you to watch a movie."

"She just didn't know the place well, and she didn't want to go alone, so she thought of me." Cheng Jinsong smiled, seeing no one around, he leaned over and whispered in Shen Yan's ear: "Don't worry, your husband and I Very loyal, I will never do such a thing to make you jealous."

"Who's jealous?!" Shen Yan retorted immediately, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was too loud, and he broke out in a cold sweat.Fortunately, there was no one around, so he gave Cheng Jinsong a hard look.

Seeing Shen Yan like this, Cheng Jinsong couldn't help laughing.Shen Yan was even more ashamed, turned around and walked away.

Cheng Jinsong didn't catch up, but just pretended to be very businesslike and said loudly: "I'll tell you the result later." Shen Yan didn't answer, and accelerated his steps.

Cheng Jinsong watched Shen Yan's back with a smile.It wasn't until the man turned the corner that the smile on his face gradually disappeared.He picked up the phone again, looked at the phone screen, and frowned slightly.

I saw the calendar on the phone screen showing: August 8th, the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, Qixi Festival...
