Special Case Investigation Team VI

Cheng Jin said: "Captain Song, can you briefly introduce the basic information of Lian Hongwang's family of four?"

"Okay." Song Man opened the notepad on his phone and said, "Lian Hongwang, as you all know, is the male head of this family. He is 37 years old and an employee of an Internet company. His online account is: Brother Lian 666. There is With 42 fans, he often shares his happy daily life on the Internet; his wife is Zeng Xiaoqian, 35 years old, an employee of a trading company; his son is Lian Jiayue, 12 years old, and a primary school student; his daughter is Lian Anran, [-] years old, also a primary school student."

"Thank you." Cheng Jin said, "Let's continue watching the video."

He clicked the "Previous Love Review" button on the video, and the happy life of the family of four began to be played on the video, but the focus of the camera was the father and daughter Lian Hongwang and Lian Anran, accompanied by words such as "Daughter It's Dad's beloved little padded jacket".

Song Mandao: "The voice in the video now is Lian Hongwang's. These words are intercepted from his previous videos. His online persona is a 'girl-loving madman', a father who loves his daughter very much. It is a treasure, and a son is a grass."

Cheng Jin nodded: "The murderer knows that Lian Hongwang is a duplicity. He should know him in real life, and he has also seen those 'false' videos he posted on the Internet. The murderer should look down on his deception. style."

Song Man agreed: "Yes, so not only did he kill him, but he also put the video exposing his true face on the Internet for his fans to watch."

"So, now we are sure that it is an acquaintance who committed the crime?" Bu Huan asked.

Cheng Jin shook his head: "It's hard to say, there are degrees of familiarity, maybe the murderer and Lian Hongwang knew each other - just like Si Mi mentioned about the acquaintance committing the crime, or maybe the murderer just heard about Lian Hong indirectly from others. Wang Wang had never had contact with Lian Hongwang, and Lian Hongwang was completely unaware of his existence.

"In this case, Lian Hongwang is a well-known public figure, and the private affairs of public figures are more likely to spread—it may not be a secret that he favors men over women within a certain range, so the murderer does not need to know him very well. information about him."

Song Mandao: "We are going to investigate his black fans and see if there are any suspicious people among them."

Cheng Jin nodded: "It should be checked."

Continuing to play the video later, the murderer asked his wife Zeng Xiaoqian to choose between a son and a daughter, and Zeng Xiaoqian finally chose to give up her daughter.

Song Mandao: "Zeng Xiaoqian didn't want to choose at first, but the murderer seems to use some method to force her to make a choice."

The detective who was with him nodded: "Yes, but the forcing process was cut."

"He probably threatened her with her husband." Cheng Jin said, "I remember when the scene of her husband was cut later, her husband looked very weak, he must have been injured."

Song Man was stunned for a moment, and said: "In addition to his vitals, Lian Hongwang was indeed stabbed in the leg by the murderer a few times."

The detailed autopsy report hadn't been given to Cheng Jin yet, but he didn't expect him to infer some details just by watching the video.

Soon, the video got to the point where the audience guessed whether Lian Hongwang would choose to give up his son or his daughter, and Cheng Jin chose his son.

After pressing the "Son" button, a close-up of Lian Hongwang appeared on the screen. His face was covered with cold sweat and he looked weak. This was the injured state that Cheng Jin just mentioned.

After the video was played, I did it again. This time I was guessing whether Brother Lian would give up his son or his daughter, and chose "daughter".

After making this choice, the voice-over of the "murderer" appeared in the video: "You think Brother Lian will give up his daughter. Why?"

Four options pop up on the screen: 1. Do you think patriarchy is justified; 2. You are a man who is "heavy"; 3. You are a woman who is "light"; 4. Others.

Cheng Jin first chose option 1, and then a voiceover appeared: "Your answer is correct", and then the screen jumped to the previous scene where "Brother Lian chose to give up his daughter and make some self-analysis", and then the video ended.

After that, everyone re-watched the video three times and selected the other three options, but the plots guided by these three options were exactly the same as the first option.

Song Mandao: "The murderer asked the audience why they thought Lian Hongwang would give up his daughter. The murderer seemed to be very concerned about this question. He specially made four answers for everyone to choose, as if doing an investigation."

Cheng Jin nodded: "I feel so."

Yang Simi added a little detail for him: "That's right, he is doing a questionnaire survey. The issue of patriarchy bothers him a lot. He wants to see how many people are like him."

"Do you think the murderer is a man or a woman?" Song Man looked at Yang Simi and asked.

Yang Simi didn't answer.

Cheng Jin shook Yang Simi's wrist.

Yang Simi turned his wrist, causing the skin on his wrist to rub against Cheng Jin's palm, creating a hot touch.

Cheng Jin let go immediately, but he didn't move his hand away completely, but rested his fingers weakly on Yang Simi's wrist bone. Yang Simi still turned his wrist from side to side, as if it was very fun.

While playing secretly, Yang Simi answered Song Man's question: "I don't know. But women usually pay more attention to the issue of 'preferring boys to girls'. After all, our society is a patriarchal society, and men are the ones who benefit from it. People don't pay too much attention to what they have from birth, so men don't have too much trouble because of this problem."

Everyone looked at the only two women present: Ye Lai and Xiao An.

Ye Lai said: "This society must be fairer to men."

Xiao An thought for a while, and said: "Do you know that if you put an artificial intelligence with a blank mind on the Internet and let it collect big data to shape its own 'personality', it will eventually become a masculinist who discriminates against women? , so the Internet society is also dominated by patriarchy.”

You Duo nodded.

Han Bin said: "It is not easy to kidnap and kill a family on a rainy night. I tend to think that the murderer is a man."

Bu Huan: "Or, is it a woman with good skills?"

Han Bin looked at Ye Lai: "Can you?"

"..." Ye Lai thought for a while about the process of committing a crime that Yang Simi had said before—the most important thing is not a strong body, but patience. "If I have a useful anesthetic in my hand, I should be able to subdue their family."

Cheng Jin concluded: "At present, it seems that the murderer may be male or female. The truth depends on the follow-up investigation."

Song Man nodded in agreement.

"There is something I don't understand," Xiao An said, "Why did the murderer kill two children, especially the youngest daughter, and she was the first to kill her?"

The daughter died earlier than the others.

Ye Lai also said: "I also find it strange. The murderer showed a tendency to oppose 'patriarchy', so he killed boys for a reason, but logically speaking, he should be sympathetic to girls. This kind of Why did he kill her under the circumstances? Shouldn't she be let go?"

Bu Huan crossed her arms and thought: "Maybe my daughter saw the murderer's appearance. In this case, the murderer must kill her to silence her."

"Perhaps sympathy is one thing, killing her is another." You Duo said, "I didn't stab her to death with a knife, but killed her with an anesthetic. For the murderer, it may have been the greatest kindness to her. gone."

Yang Simi smiled.

Everyone was very serious, but he suddenly smiled like an epiphyllum blooming. Although he was good-looking and smiled even better, but because the occasion for laughing was special, it seemed a bit weird.

Cheng Jin looked at him.

Yang Simi said innocently: "Don't let me laugh?"

"It's not a question of whether to give up..." Cheng Jin said vaguely - not so much as a perfunctory Yang Simi, but as a perfunctory other person, and then he turned back to the case, "About the death of the youngest daughter, Si Mi Do you have any ideas?"

"What do you ask me about the corpse?" Yang Simi glanced at Han Bin.

Han Bin said: "I was just about to say, you may be thinking too much."

"Huh?" Everyone looked at him.

"The girl may be allergic to anesthetics, and her death may not have anything to do with the murderer's will." Han Bin said, "Anesthetic allergies can easily cause throat edema, leading to shock or even death."

Everyone: "...Oh."

allergy?This reason is so simple, but it is irrefutable, because drug allergies are really common.

Cheng Jin said to Han Bin, "When you go back to the city, go and check the girl's autopsy to see if it's more likely an accident or a homicide."

Han Bin replied: "Okay."

Going out of the tent, Yang Simi walked straight forward, Cheng Jin looked around and followed him.

After walking forward for about 300 meters, a small river appeared in front of them, about four meters wide, the water was clear, and the sand and stones at the bottom of the river were clearly visible.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the last waves of light shone on the river surface. In a few 10 minutes, the river surface should be completely dimmed.

Cheng Jin looked into the distance, and then asked in surprise, "Is someone grazing cattle here?"

In the distance, a herd of cows slowly came into view from left to right, and then passed through the grass and disappeared into the woods.

Song Man's voice came from behind: "This is the countryside, some people farm the land and some people herd cattle."

Cheng Jin: "Oh."

Song Man walked to the river and looked down at the briskly flowing water: "Last year, a person drowned in this river."

"Oh?" Cheng Jin looked at him, "Did he drown when the water was rising? The river looks very shallow now."

"He fell into the water and drowned after drinking too much. It was about this time." Song Mandao, "After that incident, the number of people coming here to play has decreased a lot. This year, the number of people slowly increased again, and the result was another Homicide case."

Cheng Jin sighed sympathetically.

A criminal police officer casually said, "Is this place not well-feng shui—"

Song Man turned his head and glared at him: "You, a policeman, are talking about Feng Shui here?"

The detective quickly shut up and stopped talking.

Cheng Jin turned around and shouted towards the tent, "You Duo! Help me check the actual map of this place."

You Duo: "I brought the drone, do you want to use the drone to take aerial photos to see the terrain in this area?"

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "It would be even better with drones."

You Duo returned to the car and took out the drone from the trunk.

Xiao An leaned towards him: "I want to play."

You Duo: "I'll play with you after seeing the terrain."

The drone flies into the sky, and the pictures it takes are transmitted to the mobile phone.

Song Man explained the screen on the mobile phone for Cheng Jin and the others: "This road is the road we just drove over, called Lingdong Road, and you must take this road to drive here.

"The trees here are relatively sparse, and the trees are denser further forward. This forest is very large. There are a total of three small rivers like the one just now, and the one just now is the first one.

"Look, the second river has appeared. The cattle by the river should be the herd of cattle we saw just now. This place is the closest to Gaosheng Township. Not surprisingly, these cattle are raised by people from Gaosheng Township.

"The river that appears now is the third river. This river turns into the valley. The place where the houses in the valley are crowded together is Gaosheng Township. This township is the nearest densely populated area. Seen from the air, Gaosheng Township is far away. We are very close here, but because it is in a mountain depression, if you drive there, you need to make a detour, and it will take about ten minutes to get there."

Cheng Jin asked: "How about walking? How long will it take to walk from here to Gaosheng Township?"

Song Man hesitated and said: "People who are not familiar with this place probably have to walk for at least half an hour. I don't know how long it will take the locals. When we get to Gaosheng Township, we will ask the locals."

Yang Simi looked at Cheng Jin: "Do you want to take a walk now?"

"It's getting dark, let's talk about it tomorrow." Cheng Jin grabbed Yang Simi's wrist tightly, as if afraid that he would run away.

Cheng Jin asked Song Man again: "Do you still not know whether the murderer arrived at the murder scene by car or on foot?"

"Yes, it's not clear yet." Song Man said, "We are checking the surveillance on Dongling Road, and plan to check all the cars that passed Dongling Road last night."

Cheng Jin nodded. It seemed that the local police in Ruiyu tended to think that the murderer should have driven here, just like Lian Hongwang.

The night is about to fall completely, leaving only the last ray of twilight reluctantly dragging its footsteps to leave.

"Let's go, let's go to Gaosheng Township to meet the family members of the murdered family." Cheng Jin said.

"Okay." Song Man left some colleagues to pack the tent, and the others went with the special case team.

Gaosheng Township is located in a valley and built on the hillside. The terrain of the whole town goes from low to high. There is a street with shops on both sides at the bottom. This street is the most prosperous place in Gaosheng Township.

Walking up the street, the higher the place, the colder it is, and the wider the field of vision. However, even standing at the highest point in Gaosheng Township, you still can’t see the campsite where the murder occurred, because Gaosheng Township is facing the campground. , separated by a ridge blocking the line of sight.

At this time, it was completely dark, and the street lamps on both sides of the street led the cars up the hill like guards.

"Looking at it at night, this town seems quite beautiful. I don't know what it looks like during the day." Ye Lai said.

Bu Huan: "It should be okay during the day. After all, it's close to the city and it's a scenic spot. It should be well built."

Song Man echoed: "The construction is not bad, and the people here are quite rich."

When the car turned a corner, Song Man looked up and said, "The houses on the highest part are the houses of relatives of the murdered family."

Cheng Jin hurriedly looked out the window, and saw several houses that looked like country houses staggered back and forth, and then the car turned a corner, and he couldn't see that side. "How many houses do their relatives have here?"

"Yes, there are four buildings." Song Man said, "Their relative is Lin Ziming, who is relatively rich in Ruiyu. Lian Hongwang's father, Lian Jin, is Lin Ziming's cousin."

"Oh."

"A rich man," Bu Huan flicked his fingers and tapped on the steering wheel, "Then I guess this case is related to money or interests, that is to say: it is the crime committed by acquaintances around me."

Ye Lai followed his train of thought and said, "Acquaintance commits a crime and even kills the whole family, how much hatred is that?"

Bu Huan: "Some people are very vengeful."
