The Way of the Evil

"A gang that shuttled between various provinces and cities, looking for their own targets. Shen Yexi also lit a cigarette, took a puff silently, paused, and said, "This is the most likely answer I can think of. . "

"Yexi," Jiang Hu was the first to raise objections this time. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then asked in a low voice, "For a serial murderer, his growth experience, genetics, and personal psychological factors They are all complicated, and the reasons for his current behavior are sometimes even interlocking. If there is one less incentive, maybe he will become a different person. Even if he is a criminal, even a psychopath There are certain commonalities, such as the desire to control, and the feeling of desire to gain power, but it will not be like this..."

He paused, seeming to consider his words.

"Consistent," Shen Yexi understood, and took it over, "You mean, their crimes against the police are too similar to the characteristics of the crimes, isn't it?"

"It's not impossible, but the probability is too small." Jiang Hu crossed his fingers together and said softly, "Besides personal grievances, it's hard for me to see more motives from these corpses."

The whole room fell into silence.

Jiang Hu seems to have a problem. The more terrifying and serious the thing is, the softer his voice is when he speaks. At first, he only felt that it sounded reassuring, as if it had a soothing power, but everyone has known this for a long time. Hearing his tone, I feel that this matter is getting tricky.

The weather is not hot, and the air conditioner is not turned on. After all, there are so many old men in a house, and the air is not much better. It is difficult to close the windows, only the old ceiling fan above the head is creaking, and there is just an extra stream eerie atmosphere.

An Yining couldn't help but subconsciously hugged her arms.

Shen Yexi coughed lightly, and gave An Yining a comforting look, breaking the uncomfortable atmosphere: "The situation is unknown now, everyone is just guessing, Team Meng, what's going on with Yuxi?"

Meng Jiayi shook his head: "To be honest, it's similar to what Xiao Li said. When the body was found, he was the only one. Coincidentally, there was also a small surprise operation that day. It was reported by an informant that a dance hall There were drug dealers in the area, and Xiao Lu took some people to stay at the spot, but I didn't follow. I heard from the person on duty at night that the gang came back cursing and sullen when it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. Lu Yufei's body was found, and the bureau almost exploded."

"No clues?"

"No, the scene of the crime is very similar to when Zhou Min died. It is also a small alley where people may pass by during the day, but it seems a bit secluded at night. There happened to be thunder for half the night that night, and the thunder shook people's minds. Yes, even if he screamed, he couldn’t make a sound. It started to rain heavily in the second half of the night, and even if there were any clues, they were probably washed away by the rain.”

"Have you found the informant who reported the drug dealer?"

"After that day, the informant disappeared, and he couldn't find it no matter how hard he tried. I don't know if he is dead or alive."

"Wait, haven't the blood on the wall been washed away by the rain?" Yang Man asked a key question.

"The writing on the wall is not blood, but red paint." Meng Jiayi said.

Several people handed each other a color-this is not a random killing, it is a well-prepared and well-planned killing, aimed at Lu Yufei, the murderer deliberately changed the blood word "judgment" in order to avoid being washed away by the rain. Paint comes.

This is by no means a random killing by serial killers in the general sense, but a deliberate act.

Jiang Hu frowned slowly, lowered his head, his eyes seemed to be glued to the photo of the deceased, and refused to come down.

Meng Jiayi seemed to have noticed this young man who was called a "consultant". After speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Hu, waiting for him to speak. After waiting for a long time, Jiang Hu didn't intend to speak.

Shen Yexi coughed lightly: "I want to confirm that the details of the case in Tongcheng are really not leaked at all?"

"There is nothing in the media," Meng Jiayi said, "we only received the internal information later. Those who know about it, I think...except for the murderer in the Tongcheng case, he is someone he knows. Or as Captain Shen said Yes, this is a gang, they have a pattern of behavior."

Shen Yexi turned his gaze to Wei Yu.

This man seemed to be thirty years old, and he should be at the age of high spirits, but for some reason, he looked very tired, his eyeballs were swollen, and his face was very pale. Seeing Shen Yexi looking at him, he said slowly: "Our South China case is slightly different from the two cases just now."

He took a deep breath, and leaned forward slightly, as if he was tired: "I'm sorry, I haven't closed my eyes until now, the dead...the dead person..."

His breathing suddenly became short, his shoulders trembled, and he buried his face in his wide palms. Shen Yexi was sitting next to him and reached out to pat him on the shoulders.

Everyone looked at him quietly, waiting for him to calm down.

After a while, Wei Yu let out his breath, his eyes were bloodshot: "Lin Zhi was my college classmate in the police academy, and he was transferred to the police station together. He has been a good brother for so many years. I'm sorry everyone, I'm really a little... ..."

Sheng Yao coughed lightly, looked at Shen Yexi, and then softened his voice: "Captain Wei, don't you don't like to hear something, even though the deceased were all colleagues in the same industry, no one would be worried if this happened. It's okay, but you... since you have an unusual relationship with the deceased, generally speaking, shouldn't you participate in the investigation? Of course, I don't mean to say..."

"Are you afraid that my personal emotions will affect your work?" Wei Yu wiped off the strangle marks on his face, and forced a smile, "The bureau didn't plan to send me, but I insisted on asking to come when I was stuck at the door of the chief's office. Don't worry, I won't hold back at work...this bastard...the bastard who killed Xiaozhi..."

He clenched his teeth, and the veins on his face popped out, making him look a bit hideous.

"Okay, Team Wei, the most important thing for us now is to find the murderer. When you go to your brother's grave, you will have something to say, otherwise you should be careful that he will never let you go even if he is a ghost." Shen Yexi said carelessly It is human nature to dilute the gloomy atmosphere a little bit. It is human nature to be sad when a rabbit dies and a fox is sad. However, in handling a case, the less personal emotions are mixed, the better. "You just said that it is different from the previous two cases. what happened?"

"Tongcheng is fine with two cases in a row, but Yuxi is not too far away from us to be honest. As soon as the case is released, we will come down with internal documents. The overall situation will have a meeting first, and the documents on security issues will be released." After a few rounds, when the incident happened, we actually had internal regulations, such as commuting to and from work, not being able to act alone, reporting each other's whereabouts, etc., but just like that, something happened."

Wei Yu took a breath, and said in a low voice: "There was nothing to do that day... You all know that when we have something to do, we work hard, and when we have nothing to do, we just play cards in groups of three and five. , It’s nothing to be late and leave early. I had something to do at home at the time, so I left first. I heard from my colleagues in the bureau at the time that Xiaozhi wandered around that day to see if there was nothing wrong, so he left early. The next day, he didn't come to work."

"No leave?"

"No leave, no one knows where he went, Xiaozhi is not like us who are usually lazy, he is more reliable, even if he doesn't come to Kuanggang occasionally, he will definitely let us know, none of us cared at that time, Later, when I received a report that a body was found on the outskirts of the city, I suddenly had an ominous premonition, so I went to have a look..."

His voice choked up again, and he slammed the table hard, causing the teacups on the table to jump.

"Behind a small hotel," Wei Yu gritted his teeth, and jumped out word by word, "our city is different from your big city, except for the city center, the rest are suburbs, surrounded by The village and town are a bit depressed, behind the small hotel there is a big wilderness, beyond the wilderness is farmland, you said at that time... why did he go to such a desolate place?"

"I have to ask you, Captain Wei." Shen Yexi rolled his shoulders, staring at him with dark eyes, "Captain Wei, I just looked through this material, why do we have news that this Police Officer Lin , it seems not very clean..."

Wei Yu stared at Shen Yexi fiercely for a while: "You... what do you mean?"

"It's nothing interesting." Shen Yexi let go of him, and said lightly, "As far as the matter is concerned, Captain Wei, I know that you have a personal relationship with Officer Lin, but it doesn't mean anything, no matter whether he did it or not, whether he was arrested or not. Those who were wronged have nothing to do with us, our main purpose is to catch his murderer, so every clue must not be let go."

Wei Yu and him looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally looked away, clasped his hands together, and supported his forehead. After a while, he said hoarsely: "Yes, we were investigating a money laundering case at that time, and there were some signs that our bureau There is an inner ghost..."

Shen Yexi suddenly said: "No matter what direct or indirect evidence, as a friend, do you believe him?"

Wei Yu froze for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"That's it." Shen Yexi smiled, "Okay, let's study this doubtful point later, then...the one from Jingjiang..."

Feng Ji nodded: "The deceased Li Hongbiao belonged to the Public Security Bureau of the following district. I really don't know him. When we looked at the body, if it weren't for the blood on the wall, we might still think it was revenge from the underworld."

"The deceased had multiple fractures, but there was no obvious bleeding on the surface of the body, right?" Su Junzi pointed to the spread photo and asked, "Whose blood is the blood on?"

"It belongs to another person." Feng Ji thought for a while, and chose a safe statement, "Male...others, we couldn't find a match."

"Could it be the murderer's?" Sheng Yao asked.

"I'm afraid...it's very possible." Feng Ji nodded.

"Does this person still have self-abuse tendencies?" Shen Yexi frowned, "I couldn't find a match, which means that he has no criminal record. This is really a bit strange. Generally speaking, this kind of person should have experience in small crimes. "

"Maybe it's because this person is not from Jingjiang?" Su Junzi mentioned.

Feng Ji nodded: "It's also possible that he hasn't been caught... Anyway, anything can happen."

Shen Yexi nodded and looked at the sky: "Why don't we do this today, everyone has come all the way, it's not easy, let's get back to work first, Yining, send everyone the details of Zhang Xiaogan's case , the place is quite remote, it’s too late today, everyone go home to sort out their thoughts, and we’ll go to the scene of the crime tomorrow during the day.”

He felt a bit of a headache. These people are now on his territory, so they can't make mistakes in safety: "I know that before this case is over, no one can sleep well. It's still the same sentence, eat and drink enough to ensure yourself Body, we can work better, don't act alone, brothers can't afford it if something goes wrong."

The crowd dispersed, and when they were about to leave, Mo Cong, who had just left the case discussion meeting, suddenly appeared at the door and called Jiang Hu: "Xiao Jiang, stay here, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Hu was taken aback, then turned to look at Shen Yexi, who patted him: "I'll go get the car first, and I'll wait for you at the door."

When everyone had dispersed, Jiang Hu turned his head calmly, leaned back slightly on the conference table, and stretched out his hand to push his glasses: "Mo Bureau, does Ke Ruhui have something to leave for me?"

Mo Cong was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "You, you...Ke Ruhui left a word, the note that Zheng Siqi and the others picked up from the comrade who was sent to the hospital, I guess Ye Xi also knew about it. There is only one sentence - have you studied the human heart, and do you know what the human heart is?"

This sentence, as soon as you hear it, ghosts will know who it is for.

Jiang Hu's eyes drooped slightly, as if he was in a daze, and he seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he gave a low "hmm", stood up straight and walked out: "I see, thank you."
