Criminal Investigation Notes

Now is the intermittent period of the live broadcast, but all the police dare not stop. They are always vigilant and ready to deal with the start of the next live broadcast.

According to the location of the two murders, the police have begun to infer the area where the third live broadcast may be.

With the experience of the previous two times, before the start of this live broadcast, the police had already prepared sufficient manpower and were ready to start various investigations at any time.

Only if the speed is fast enough, can you run in front of the murderer and prevent the tragedy from happening.

Lu Junchi has been contacting all parties, busy, making various arrangements.

If it was someone else, he might be overwhelmed by such fast-paced big information, but his orderliness allowed him to quickly straighten out the relationship between various places, integrate various clues, and quickly make the right decision under high pressure .

Qu Ming has already contacted Wanhu Middle School and retrieved the list of students who have not returned home. He quickly reported: "Team Lu, we have contacted all the teachers and called one by one to check the whereabouts of the students in the class. The number of students who went home was 35. These 35 people have gone through repeated attempts, either the parents cannot be contacted, or the child has been unable to be contacted. Some of the parents said that the child usually comes home very late.”

"Also, the principal said that they had just had a group activity in the morning, so most of the students were wearing school uniforms."

Naturally, it is impossible for all of these 35 people to be kidnapped. There are also potential victims in this list, and some of them are temporarily lost.

Most of the students in Wanhu City are from poor families, and their parents are usually busy with work, and many of them are in other places.After school, the children will play basketball, go to small Internet cafes, and even go out to play together, so the parents do not know where their children may be after contacting them for a while.

This range is already very small.

The school registration forms of 35 children were sent along with their photos.

Lu Junchi looked at the list of people sent by Qu Ming. If the next victim was still on this list, then what Su Hui said was probably right. This was a hunting plan targeting Wanhu middle school students.

Children are like sacrifices put on the altar to fulfill the purpose and desire of the murderer.

But why is it ten thousand households one middle school?

And why are these kids?

People just took a breather, and at nine o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast room lit up again, and the third live broadcast came as scheduled.

Although it was very late, the number of viewers was still rising in a straight line. In addition, the network blockade has been lifted, and the number of people watching the live broadcast has reached 18.

This time, the live broadcast room was obviously different from the previous two times.

This is a somewhat messy room, the furnishings in the room are very simple, there are some black marks on the wall, and there seem to be some sundries on the floor. This is a small room that has been lived in, but the owner has left in a hurry. A lot of things are left as garbage.

The picture paused for a moment, and finally focused on a young man.The boy was about ten years old, tall, with short hair, and he was wearing the school uniform of Wanhu No. [-] Middle School. His eyes were also blindfolded, and his hands and feet were tied around his neck. A thick rope was tied, and the upper part of the rope was tied to the curtain rod of the house.

During the camera shooting, people could clearly see a dark red birthmark on his forehead.

At this moment, the boy was sitting on the chair, the rope around his neck was only hanging in vain, but if the anchor operated, it could be tightened immediately.

Obviously, the method of execution has changed again.

Due to the increase in the number of people in the live broadcast room, the messages have also become refreshed faster, and some messages have passed by in a flash, which is almost invisible.

"It's so cruel! This has already killed two people in a row..."

"Why don't you stop the live broadcast?"

"Is it going to be hanged this time?"

The anchor's voice changed by the voice changer sounded again: "Hello everyone, this is the third live broadcast tonight. As usual, I will announce a name, and you have to find out the evil things he has done. And this time, I hope that our game will be upgraded, and you need to let that man stand in front of the camera, face more than ten media outlets, and publicly admit his crime."

"Public crime? Isn't that surrender? Who would be so stupid?"

"Is this forcing the police to find evidence and find that person?"

"How many people will he kill?"

"... Now, it's time to announce the culprit." As the anchor spoke, one hand stretched out from the screen, and hung a piece of paper with his name on it in front of the boy.

"That Xuehai, 45 years old, the boss of Huadu Chengxin Building Materials Company, now, you have an hour to find out what he has done, and then make him publicly apologize to more than ten media outlets."

"I found this person, he is indeed the boss of the building materials company!"

"Looking at the appearance, I don't think it's a good thing."

"What bad things will the boss of the building material company do? It can't be that there is something wrong with the building materials he sells, right?"

"Don't be confused by his identity, maybe he will kill and set fire to seduce the little girl."

With the increase of the number of people, the spam messages in the live broadcast room also flooded in rapidly, and the messages were posted quickly.

There is no need for Xia Mingxi to remind, he has already started to search for the information of Na Xuehai: "This Na Xuehai has more information than the previous two people. The boss started his business at the age of 33 and has been selling various buildings. Material……"

Immediately, Xuehai's information was posted in the group.

The boss of a building materials company will naturally leave much more information than ordinary people.

The address of the registered company, the home address, various tax situations, and family property records, all these information were retrieved at the fastest speed.

Xia Mingxi said in the group: "I am summarizing information on the Internet. Although the number of people watching the live broadcast has increased, the effective information has decreased..."

Su Hui typed a few words back to her: "The bystander effect."

The bystander effect is also known as the responsibility dispersion effect. When there are too many people in the face of an emergency, the responsibility is shared with each person, but people will not act.

This theory also applies on the Internet.

Now that more people are watching the live broadcast, the possibility of providing help has indeed decreased and the time has been extended.

There were even some spectators mixed in with ordinary netizens, making inappropriate jokes in the live broadcast room.

The reporting hotline in the headquarters rang from time to time, and the police deployed several operators to answer the calls, but until now, basically no effective information had come in, and some people were even busy insulting the police for their inaction.

Netizens cannot be given too much hope, they can only rely more on their own investigations and intensify investigation efforts.

Lu Junchi said decisively: "Call Xuehai directly, Zheng Bai is going to bring someone over there to question him."

Whether there is a crime, the parties are the most clear.Facts have proved that although the anchor's methods are despicable, the first two people he revealed are definitely not good people. At this point, there is no room for that Xuehai to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Su Hui added: "Also, check to see if he has any connection with the previous Long Xiaochen and Lian Chengyan."

A contractor, a demolition thug, and now the boss of a building materials company. There seems to be a secret line between these people, but they haven't connected that line yet.

Lu Junchi asked Qu Ming again: "Has the victim's identity been confirmed..."

Qu Ming rummaged through several documents, and quickly found one among them and sent it out: "Mr. Su's prediction is accurate. According to the birthmark on his forehead, hairstyle and height, it can be confirmed that the victim is Tao Yingxu. A student in Class [-] and [-] of Wanhu No. [-] Middle School. He told his family that he would go to the library to study in the afternoon, and he didn’t go home until dinner.”

The group sent a photo of Tao Yingxu, as well as his detailed information, student registration form, etc.

The boy in the photo has good facial features and is very handsome. There is a red birthmark on his forehead, which is easy to identify.

"Tao Yingxu's academic performance is very good, and he is usually the class leader in the class. The emergency contact is his mother, and the teachers evaluate him very well..."

Lu Junchi quickly said: "Qu Ming, the information on the student registration form is too incomplete, you should quickly contact the school, investigate the three victims, compare and investigate their home routes, and see what they have in common, and whether they are together. Where have they been. Also, check their personal hobbies, what activities they have participated in, what books they have borrowed, what school clubs they have participated in, and which classmates they have a good relationship with at school, all this information is required.”

As time goes on, more and more victims appear, which means that they can find the commonality of the victims.A potential link between them and the murderer can then be found.

Qu Ming responded quickly, communicating with the school, but his forehead was sweating.

In normal times, with this kind of case and so many victims, even to make a summary, it would take several days for the police officers to investigate one by one. Schools, families, and friends asked one by one.

Now that it was so urgent, he felt tremendous pressure.

Su Hui was also concentrating on the side, organizing his thoughts.

Now they have three victims. The first one, Kong Tao, a senior high school student, male, was burned to death.

The second Mo Xiuxiu, a sophomore in high school, was placed in a fish tank and nearly drowned.

The third Tao Yingxu, a senior high school student, was about to be hanged to death.

They were all kidnapped after school, three people, different genders, different classes, different methods of execution, and different places of execution.

These children must have something in common, which they have not yet known.

Compared with the previous two times when they were caught off guard, this time the police already had experience, and all work started quickly.

But the time is still too tight, they are so nervous that they have no way to inquire one by one in detail, they can only choose the safest direction to investigate.

Su recalled something, and warned: "Even if you want to complete his conditions according to what the anchor said, you can't be too fast. If you achieve it too easily, he will feel dissatisfied, and his behavior and requirements will further escalate quickly..."

Just like last time, when the police disclosed Lian Chengyan's crimes, he still drowned Mo Xiuxiu and changed the rules of the game.

Lu Junchi nodded: "We must make all kinds of full preparations and try our best to seize the initiative." He asked Qiao Ze again, "Can you confirm the location of this live broadcast?"

From the background of the video, it can be inferred that the location of the live broadcast this time should not be those unfinished buildings, but a messy room in an abandoned residential house.

Qiao Ze had just returned to the command vehicle, and checked carefully against the screenshots.

"From the window part, the height of this window is not high, and the floor may be on the first or second floor...it doesn't look like a building." Then he zoomed in on the background with his fingers, "There are some graffiti numbers on the background, crooked It's crooked and feels like it was left by a child."

They had just rescued Mo Xiuxiu before, so they probably passed by the anchor.There is no monitoring here in Wanhu City, and there is no more flow of people. It may take some time for the anchor to move to a new live broadcast location that meets the requirements, that is, the location will be closer than they estimated.

Qiao Ze checked the map: "If it's in this area...it's likely to be a shanty town waiting to be demolished in Wanhu City."

Even though the area of ​​the shantytowns has shrunk, there are still more than [-] households living here, and so many people live in the narrow lanes.

If you want to find a live broadcast room, it is no less than entering a large maze.

Lu Junchi calmly said: "Let the fifth sub-bureau send ten people to stay here, and the rest will follow us quickly and search in different directions. Also, I think even if it is a demolished house or an unfinished building, it can be broadcast live." It must be in a place with better network speed, there are not many base stations here, and some areas can be excluded.”

Along the way, Lu Junchi had already discovered that the nearby signal was not stable. The murderer must have rehearsed in advance and chose a location with better signal to be able to broadcast live.

The command vehicle started, and Su recalled something and said: "During the live broadcast just now, I discovered a detail, although those children had their mouths and eyes covered, and they made struggles, but I I feel a little unreasonable…”

Lu Junchi turned his head and asked, "What?"

"I haven't thought about it too clearly." Su Hui shook his head and didn't elaborate, then he rubbed his forehead, "Also, I found that when Mo Xiuxiu was submerged in water, it seemed that there was something in the water..."

His eyesight was really not clear, so after reading it twice, he sent a screenshot of his phone to Lu Junchi.

Lu Junchi zoomed in on the picture, and when Mo Xiuxiu was pushed into the water by the murderer, something was indeed reflected in the fish tank.

It was the profile of a girl, she was wearing the uniform of Wanhu Middle School, her hair was hanging down, just blocking her face.

"There is a girl in the picture, I'm not sure if it's the upcoming victim or the related murderer..."

This meant that besides Mo Xiuxiu and the anchor, there was a third person present.

Who is this girl?The case has developed to the present, and it is becoming more and more confusing.

At this point, Su Hui suddenly asked, "Are you going to Wanhu Middle School soon?"

Qiao Ze looked down and said, "Ah, yes..."

From a distance, they could already see a building of Wanhu Middle School. Now the office building in the school was brightly lit. It was obvious that the teachers had already returned to school due to an emergency.

Su Hui said to Lu Junchi: "Put me here, I want to ask the teachers at the school to see if they know more about the situation."

The three victims were all students of the school, and now there is a girl in school uniform in the picture, all of this is definitely not a coincidence.

Although Qu Ming contacted these people on the Internet and also communicated on the phone, at this time, it is very likely that effective information will not be collected quickly.

Lu Junchi weighed all the pros and cons and Su Hui's safety, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Qiao Ze, follow Teacher Su."

Su Hui froze for a moment and said, "The middle school should be safe, and those teachers will be there too..."

He feels that the police force is insufficient now, and hopes that more people will find the location of the anchor.

Lu Junchi insisted: "The school's clues are also very important, and during the process of handling the case, at least two people were present."

Su Hui just hummed and said nothing.

The car soon stopped at the gate of Wanhu Middle School. Most of the children of the families living nearby go to school here.

Su Hui leaned on his cane and quickly walked out of the car.

Qiao Ze, who had climbed nearly ten buildings just now, was left behind by him, and he limped after him with the tablet in his arms: "Mr. Su, wait for me..."

Watching them leave, the vehicle quickly started again.

Lu Junchi looked at the time, it was 45:[-] in the evening, [-] minutes before the end of the live broadcast.
