today's island

Although it was not a good thing, Lu Yuanzhe really wanted to give himself the title of "Foretelling Things Like a God".Sure enough, before the media reports disappeared from the public's sight, the second victim appeared.

Fortunately, unlike the crowded square last time, there were only a group of terrified square dance enthusiasts at the scene this time. Few people raised their mobile phones to take videos, and the Internet police quickly controlled the spread.

The video did not spread, but the text spread. As the most popular local newspaper, "Island City Morning News" reported a brief situation early in the morning, not only as a news broadcast, but also on the column of urban legends. Personal spontaneous combustion anecdote .

Two instances of Burning Man running in four days is really not right.Other media also made wild associations, guessing a series of situations such as cults, mass self-immolation, performance art, etc. Obviously, they are a million miles away from the topic.

Before the work was over, another case was added, Ling Xi and Wan Yi were both transferred, leaving the remaining salted fish sitting in the task force waiting for second-hand information.

"I'm so envious." Su Xiaozhi muttered while lying on the table.

"Our job is to wait for the lack of manpower to be picked away?" Cheng Mo rarely asked a question, and seemed a little concerned about not participating in the case.

"Well, Lingxi is the hope of the whole village, and Wan Yi has been there a lot. If the scene is more complicated, Ayu may be transferred away." Lu Yuanzhe introduced, "If the case happens to need to investigate some schools and the like In a sensitive place, the girl can also play a role, and Xiaozhi can go to the front line to perform."

After a pause, he pointed to himself: "As for me, when the case develops to the point where Sun Yan feels that he can't handle it anymore and the higher-ups pay attention to it, I will be able to appear."

After holding back for three months, he was able to calmly face the status quo of being isolated and introspective.

"Then... what about me?" Cheng Mo couldn't help asking.

"Don't count on it." Lu Yuanzhe joked, "Whoever dares to ask you to help, just wait for a job in the task force."

He just made a joke with Cheng Mo, but Cheng Mo's eyes flickered, as if he had been hit, he quickly lowered his head and quit the chat session.

No one else noticed, only Lu Yuanzhe glanced at Cheng Mo several times.

Could it be that he was wrong, Cheng Mo is actually a workaholic, because he knew that the special case team was too salty every day, so he didn't intend to make friends with everyone?

Before he could think about it, Ling Xi came back.Being picked up from sleep by a phone call to go to work, Lingxi today completely failed to see the elegance of sister Yu who usually assembles in the project, printed a few materials for everyone, and briefly described the situation on the spot without soul.

"The deceased was doused head-on with a bucket of gasoline under the corridor where he lived, and then ignited by a lighter thrown down. He instinctively ran to the crowd for help, and this was what everyone saw in the video."

"Did anyone see the prisoner near the residential area?" Lu Yuanzhe asked.

"Then I have to ask Wan Yi, they have a mountain of surveillance cameras to investigate." Ling Xi shrugged.

Wan Yi didn't come back until lunch time, just to come back to eat a luxurious takeaway specially provided by Ding Chenyu: "No, the prisoner knows all about the surveillance, and he didn't even take a picture of him."

The last time it was a bustling commercial area, this time it was a dilapidated community with the fourth ring road. The road monitoring arrangement was not reasonable, and the property of the community was also left to monitor for damage. It is estimated that there will be no discovery.

"With so much media attention, Sun Yan hasn't tested your tone yet?" Lu Yuanzhe asked Wan Yi, impatient to take over.

"Not yet, maybe you don't want both cases to be resolved quickly in your hands." Wan Yi sighed, "When will you two reconcile?"

"In the next life." Lu Yuanzhe shrugged, thought for a while, and then encouraged him, "If you are transferred away again, remember to encourage them to issue a reward order by making insinuations so that the case can be turned around as soon as possible."

"Will he be fooled by you?" Su Xiaozhi thought that she would never be fooled by this routine, and Sun Yan would attract public opinion every time.

"Yes." Lu Yuanzhe was very confident.

·

Even if Sun Yan doesn't go all out to arrest Yan Ye, the criminal's desire will not stop, it will only intensify - only three days after the second case, the third case appeared.

Contrary to what they had guessed, the prisoner did not continue to operate in remote areas. The case happened in a high-end hotel-style apartment complex. Everyone was transferred out this time, and only Lu Yuanzhe and Cheng Mo were left behind.

With the experience of last time, he comforted Cheng Mo in advance: "It's okay, the case will be handed over soon, there will be a chance."

"Yeah." Cheng Mo nodded, hiding his emotions this time, and he couldn't tell he was lost.

This time the case took place in a corridor, and finally there was no real-time video transmission, but the media somehow got the news, tried every means to sneak into the vicinity of the scene, and leaked some photos of the corridor.

One is accidental, two are imitations, and three can no longer be called coincidences.All kinds of social software were pushed one after another, and even Tang Wen was working overtime to deal with various chores, and set a hard target for Sun Yan to solve the case within a week.

Sure enough, Sun Yan issued a wanted warrant that day, announcing that the suspect had been confirmed as a fugitive from nine years ago, and asked the public to provide clues for a fee.

Wan Yi came back with good news, and Lu Yuanzhe was not surprised at all: "This is a typical escape mentality. The announcement that he is a fugitive makes everyone feel that he escaped last time. It is understandable that he was not caught this time."

As a result, Sun Yan's office phone was ringing. I don't know how many people fished in troubled waters to get a bonus, and there were some enthusiastic uncles and aunts. Everyone was a murderer, and they could report five or six suspects a day.

After two days, Sun Yan lost to the crowd just like last time, and couldn't stand it anymore.In addition, according to the frequency of crimes committed by the criminals, another case would happen soon. He had already counted the moment and did not believe that Lu Yuanzhe had a solution.

There was a meeting early in the morning, sitting in the director's office, although they drank tea worth a few dollars, both Lu Yuanzhe and Sun Yan drank hundreds of dollars.Sun Yan was still the same as last time, speaking vaguely, and asked the task force to assist in the investigation.

"Okay." Lu Yuanzhe agreed casually, "Tell me, how to check, we will listen to you, and promise not to say a word, we will do whatever you ask us to do."

Tang Wen understood what he meant, and squinted at him: "I asked you to help solve the case, not to let you work on the assembly line without thinking."

"What kind of brains do you use? Wanted criminals? All Team Sun knows is to keep an eye on every intersection. They will always appear in ten or eight years." Lu Yuanzhe resolutely refused to let go, "Isn't Team Sun's style of investigating cases?"

"Then leave it to you to investigate. You make up your mind. I'll give you a week to find a way to find Yan Ye, okay?" Tang Wen handed over the case to them.

"That's not good, Team Sun has been working hard for half a month." Lu Yuanzhe wanted to get cheap and act good.

Tang Wen casually put down the document in his hand and made a light snap.

"Okay, the case is so big that it's worth setting up a special case team to investigate!" Lu Yuanzhe immediately stood up and stepped down the steps.

Coming out of the director's office proudly, he immediately organized a meeting, handed over the complete information to each department, and sorted out the report.

·

The task force hadn't held a discussion meeting for a long time, and gave everyone a whole morning to look at the sub-tasks and materials. After lunch, Lu Yuanzhe stood in front of the whiteboard with a marker, and wrote four large characters on the top—three no meetings.

"What do you mean?" Su Xiaozhi was stunned.

"You'll know in a while." Lu Yuanzhe glanced at Ding Chenyu, knowing that he had understood, and snapped his fingers at him.

"The first deceased, Zhao Pengcheng, died at around 23:40." He stepped forward and introduced the identity of the deceased to Lu Yuanzhe, "A real estate agent, 45 years old, and his family lived in the North Third Ring Road, a few minutes away from Wanghai Plaza. 8.7 kilometers. The prisoner invited him to an empty dance room, and left through the back door when the deceased was running out of the front door, and a short silhouette was captured by surveillance.”

"The second deceased, Zhou Wu, died around 21 o'clock." His finger moved to the second column, "Outsider, 53 years old, came to work at the port of Daocheng, lived alone, rented a house in Huashun Bay, downstairs Attacked. The prisoner dumped gasoline from the second floor and dropped the lighter, and left when the deceased asked for help."

"The third deceased, Feng Shurui, died at around 2:42 in the morning." He moved to the third column, "He was also a foreigner, [-] years old, a sales manager who came to Daocheng to do market research, and died in Chengxin Apartment Serviced Apartment The prisoner stuck the elevator on the top floor, hid in the stairwell, also poured gasoline on the deceased and ignited it, and left by the main entrance."

"The search for evidence at the scene has been completed. Wanghai Plaza and Huashun Bay have been cleaned up. The crime scene of Chengxin Apartment is in the stairwell, which is still sealed off." As he said, he posted photos of various crime scenes, "In general, no objects abandoned by the prisoners were found, no suspicious DNA was extracted, and no traces of the prisoners breaking into or escaping the scene, such as violently opening the door or climbing over the guardrail, were found."

After he finished speaking, he sat back and looked at Wan Yi. Wan Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he continued: "The prisoner is familiar with the road surveillance location, so he didn't take the main road in Wanghai Square, so it's hard to judge where he went and whether he was there. Means of transportation. Huashun Bay is an old community with many monitoring failures, and he was not photographed. The monitoring of Chengxin Apartment was down, it seems that a security guard accidentally touched the virus the day before yesterday, but the security guard himself has no qualifications to commit the crime."

"What about the autopsy?" Lu Yuanzhe asked.

"The autopsy is over. Except for Zhao Pengcheng, they were all doused in gasoline and burned to death. There was no trace of fighting with the prisoner. It is estimated that the prisoner has advantages in physique and experience, and his movements are quick. Zhao Pengcheng was definitely burned to death. The only thing not The same is that he may know the prisoner, so he was asked to be stunned." Ling Xi introduced, "We tend to think that the prisoner didn't do too many tricks in his modus operandi, but we designed a water bag that delays ignition. A habitual offender."

"Where's Team Sun's investigation summary?" Lu Yuanzhe looked at Xiaozhi.

"The No. 97 gasoline used by the prisoner is too easy to obtain, and we haven't asked any clues yet. There are no eyewitnesses, and there is no record of Yan Ye's discovery in Daocheng." Su Xiaozhihui reported, "Zhao Pengcheng's communication records have been checked. There is no suspicious person among those who gave him, let alone Yan Ye. Chengxin Apartment has strict entry and exit registration, and we have checked, and Yan Ye was not found."

Lu Yuanzhe's eyes drifted to Cheng Mo, and he took the initiative to speak: "The family members have come to claim the body, but they have no clue about the prisoner."

After everyone finished talking, Lu Yuanzhe looked around and asked everyone, "So there is no evidence to prove that it is the real Yan Ye, right?"

As far as the current technology is concerned, the restored photos can almost be sure to be Yan Ye, but the camouflage technology is also advancing rapidly, and there are already faces that can be faked, and a profile cannot be used as definitive evidence.Without DNA, one cannot be 100% sure.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and finally Ding Chenyu replied: "Yes, after all, it is a vicious arson case, the prisoner should have taken strict protection on himself, and it is not easy to leave hair and fingerprints."

"Look, is this a three-no case?" Lu Yuanzhe circled the title, "There is no identification of the suspect, no doubts about social relations, and no direction of investigation."

After all the direct evidence collection was done, everyone looked at the whiteboard and had to admit that Sun Yan handed over the case only after he had nowhere to go.

"Fortunately, life is never about solving problems within a frame." Lu Yuanzhe smiled and put down the marker, "Let's go, let's go to the scene again."
