The Way of the Evil

The man hummed an intermittent song, with a warm smile on his face: "Don't be afraid, it will be over in a while, mom loves you, mom likes you, little angel..."

The things in his arms made the sound of colliding, and the man held them like babies-it was a section of human ribs: "Mom will like you, will like you..."

He walked from the door to the corner, and turned back from the corner. At first, the expression on his face was peaceful and quiet, but in the process of walking back and forth, he became more and more distorted and anxious, and then his foot kicked The piece of clothing that was piled up in the corner was a piece of children's clothing, a pure white skirt, stained with blood, and the man's footsteps stopped.

He stopped, carefully put down the ribs in his arms, squatted down slowly, held up the blood-stained skirt with both hands, and cried "woo-woo", talking upside down: "I didn't mean it, I'm not a bad person , I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it..."

At this time, a circle of policemen with live ammunition surrounded the sewer.

Sheng Yao took half of the cigarette out of his pocket, glanced at Yang Man who was flipping through the forensic autopsy report, and stuffed it back. He folded his hands on his chest and leaned against the pole. The background is not the words of the hapless sewer mouth.

A team of detectives scoured the sewers for other bodies.

Yang Man waved his hand: "You smoke it, give me one too, this smell - you said that this bastard, you didn't say that you killed someone else's child, and you threw the body here, isn't that on purpose?"

"When did you start smoking? I remember you didn't smoke before, smoke less, tobacco is not good for women." Sheng Yao smiled, lit a cigarette and handed it to Yang Man: "Stand far away Some, go to the upper air outlet, don't smoke."

Yang Man took it over, looked at him and curled his lips: "Mr. Sheng, you are really a treasure. The saliva you speak is the raw material of aphrodisiacs, and even your breathing is so ambiguous that people will misunderstand it."

Sheng Yao blinked: "Beauty, what did you misunderstand?"

Yang Man rolled his eyes: "Get out!"

She looked around, there were a few old buildings next to it, and on the other side of the road were alleys and densely packed one-story houses. The road where the sewer is located is a dead end, and no one may come here for several days: "Sheng Yao, what do you say?" In this place, who throws a dead child here, can it be unobtrusive?"

Sheng Yao frowned, walked around, and looked down at the dark sewer: "People come and go here during the day, I think the time to throw the body should be late at night or early in the morning?"

"There is a park in the back. I heard that after four o'clock in the morning, old people began to exercise and walk birds there. There is a power plant over there, and many workers live here. They are on night shift at night. " Yang Man flipped through another dozen materials in his hand, "Do you think there will be potential witnesses?"

Sheng Yao raised his head and looked at her. At this moment, a voice came from under the sewer: "I found it, come on! I found it! Ugh...fuck..."

"You wait on the top, I'll go down and have a look." Sheng Yao took off his coat and threw it to Yang Man, "Don't come down, the bottom is too dirty."

Yang Man conveniently put his coat aside, followed closely behind: "I'm a bit of a clean freak, but don't we just eat this bowl of rice, so there's nothing wrong with it. In the bureau, women have to be men, and men only If you can be an animal, you don’t have to be a gentleman to me if you are an animal.”

Sheng Yao shook his head and laughed, but the laughter quickly got stuck in his throat. The experienced police officer finally froze in place. Yang Man followed closely and followed his gaze. The facial features twisted for a moment, a young detective tightly covered his mouth, and rushed out from the side of the two people. The detective who found the corpse stepped back half a step to the side, allowing the two people to clearly see what they found.

Under the dim light, various smells of corruption filled it, and the skeletons of four children were lined up under the sewer.All the skeletons were separated, the latest one hadn't been corroded much, the skin on the back was peeled off, the ribs were gone, revealing the internal organs inside, a few mice were gnawing, and the child lost its head.

Sheng Yao couldn't help turning his head away, and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, the gentleman is not here."

——This scene is too shocking for everyone who is a parent.

After receiving the call, Shen Yexi drove the car like an airplane, and arrived at the crime scene at lightning speed. Yang Man was waiting for them on the ground, his face turned blue.Seeing them coming, he nodded: "Sheng Yao is below, the forensic doctor hasn't done anything yet, and I'm waiting for you to look at the scene again—Xiao Jiang, you should wait up there, don't go down."

Jiang Hu hesitated for a moment, then stopped. Shen Yexi had already greeted the forensic doctor who was waiting beside him, and jumped down the sewer without hesitation. Jiang Hu thought for a while: "Sister Yang...I want to go down and have a look."

Yang Man waved his hand: "Really, don't go down, you can't stand this, we have dealt with dead things for so many years, and we still feel that we can't bear it psychologically after seeing this, you have to talk to us later, you haven't seen Sheng What about Haruka's face just now?

Jiang Hu asked: "But I don't know anything about the situation, how can I guide you?"

Yang Man said, "It's okay, as long as you know that there are dead people underground." - Everyone said that Sister Yang was concise and neat, and she really lived up to her name.

Jiang Hu didn't say anything, just looked at her and then at the sewer, with a troubled expression on his face.

Every time she saw his tangled expression, Yang Man felt that she was going to turn into a wolf and be watched eagerly by the other party. It felt like she had just snatched a ten-year-old child's lollipop, and she felt as guilty as a child. The flames tormented her little conscience. A few seconds later, Yang Man lost again and waved her hands helplessly.

An Yining said that when you come out to hang out, you always have to pay it back, and Sheng Yao said that one thing is one thing.

Jiang Hu immediately took off his coat, rolled up his trouser legs and some long shirt sleeves, and jumped down—he had never moved so quickly before—it was too late for Yang Man to stop him, so he could only sigh and shrug , stepped aside, and waited for Jiang Hu to rush out of it five seconds later to vomit.

"Look at these children, rather than being thrown here, it's better to say that they were carefully arranged like this." Sheng Yao squatted next to the corpse, wearing gloves, raised his head and said to Shen Yexi, "I really don't want to That being said, but... I think the murderer seemed to care about these kids, apologetic or something, and he put the body here gently."

Shen Yexi nodded, and rolled up his trouser legs and squatted down: "The corpses are all placed here side by side, and the distance between each person seems to have been precisely measured, and they are very similar."

Sheng Yao frowned: "Do you think this murderer may be mentally abnormal?"

"Psychoanalysis believes that attacking others or self-mutilation are the effects of death instinct, but I think these are the mental illnesses highlighted by people's depression and intense psychological conflicts." Shen Yexi hadn't had time to answer , I heard a voice behind me, speaking neither high nor low.

He turned his head abruptly, and saw Jiang Hu standing there, Jiang Hu's eyes could not be seen clearly under the dim light, the young man standing there looked a little thin and sad.

Sheng Yao was stunned for a moment: "Xiao Jiang, why did you come down?"

Shen Yexi was amazed at the composure of this bewildered young scholar at this moment. He didn't feel any discomfort in the sewer full of dirt, as if he was used to seeing corpses and death, he didn't panic, nor did he feel nauseated or vomited .

Director Mo has done too many unreasonable things, including the establishment of the special investigation team for major and serious cases, including making Shen Yexi, who was only 26 years old at the time, the leader, and many, many things, which later proved that this person is That's right - then is it one of his quiet arrangements to let Jiang Hu follow up in the field?

Shen Yexi wanted to observe this new colleague who didn't know how deep he was, so he moved aside silently, leaving a place for Jiang Hu.

Jiang Hu was silent for a while, then asked Sheng Yao, "Isn't your name Su Ge?"

Sheng Yao smiled knowingly, and shook his head: "No, I said hello to Yining, and it happened that the four families were going to visit, and the two of them are busy enough, so we won't let them come over."

Shen Yexi's feet were a little numb, and she moved a bit: "Doctor Jiang, do you have a deep understanding of criminal psychology?"

"I have taken courses in this area." Jiang Hu hesitated before answering.

"Then have you heard of psychological portraits?"

Jiang Hu looked up at him and shook his head: "The theory and technology of psychological profiling is not particularly mature now, and it has not been formally applied to criminal investigation work in China. Besides, it's not a team work and only my guess is too subjective. It may cause great deviation and affect your judgment."

"That means you can do it." Shen Yexi said in a deep voice, the hypocrisy and perfunctory on his face disappeared, revealing that special sharpness, "It's okay, Doctor Jiang, you can try it."

Both Jiang Hu and Sheng Yao were a little surprised. Shen Yexi, even if he was really a very familiar and close person, sometimes felt that his mind was a little unpredictable, as if he was useless to Jiang Hu just now. The expatriates didn't pay much attention, but suddenly became serious at this moment.

Seeing that Jiang Hu was still hesitating, Shen Yexi added: "Don't worry, I will make a judgment, and I won't be misled so easily by you, just say it, just like the location of the show you pointed out to me when you were in the car thing."

"What performance location?" Sheng Yao asked.

"Dr. Jiang found that the missing children were all standing in the same position when they participated in the performance before being kidnapped."

"Actually...not all of them." Jiang Hu pointed to the corpse on the ground, "After the first child, the little girl named Lu Hui, disappeared, the choir changed to a lead singer, and that child was also there. I stayed in the same position, but I was not kidnapped. I couldn’t figure it out at first, but now I understand.”

Sheng Yao opened his peach blossom eyes wide as if he saw something rare, stood up and listened to him quietly.

"It's because the child is too tall." Jiang Hu said, "When I saw the photo of the performance, I felt that the formation was not very good. It may be because of the position of the microphone or the vocal part. That The boy who led the singing was half a head taller than the children next to him, almost covering the children in the row behind. Later, the teacher of the choir moved him to the side and changed his position with another leading singer. It is the second kidnapped child."

"You mean that the reason why these children are selected is not only the position of the standing, but also the height factor?" Shen Yexi's eyes moved to the corpses of the children lying side by side on the ground. After he stood up, his vision changed accordingly. At this time, he discovered a very strange thing, that is, the feet and heads of these neatly arranged corpses were all in a straight line. The little difference in the distance between them is actually for the sake of orderly arrangement.

Shen Yexi pointed at the dead body on the ground and opened his mouth, a little nauseated: "He cut people in half to make these children completely the same height?"

"No... I think it's more accurate to say that these children's bodies should be arranged neatly." Jiang Hu followed his gaze, "This murderer has a certain degree of anxiety disorder, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder Will compulsively do things that others seem unreasonable, such as walking around cracks in the ground when walking on the road, such as everything must be placed according to certain rules, they have a special urge to 'tidy' .”

"I... don't quite understand." Sheng Yao asked.

"You can't understand. There is no unified explanation for the cause of obsessive-compulsive disorder. They will involuntarily do something and think about something, otherwise they will be extremely anxious."

Sheng Yao and Shen Yexi looked at each other, and Shen Yexi asked, "Can you be more specific?"

Jiang Hu thought for a long time, just when they thought he was about to make some highly professional remarks and were ready to listen carefully, they heard him agree with Sheng Yao's initial conclusion in a slow voice: "I want to say, This guy might not be normal."

What an insight.
