[Rat and Cat] Serious Crime Team

Zhan Zhao Diary

Demons are sometimes ordinary people, and good and evil are often instantaneous.What we can do is to remain rational, but not to stand idly by.

April 2012, 4, sunny.

Today is the day to meet Zhao Mingliang, interviewee No. 0137. When I went out, I paid special attention to it. The weather has turned a lot warmer, so I put on a thin coat.Bai Yutang called at 10:[-] last night, saying that his insomnia has been relieved after using the tips I told him. To be honest, I don't believe it, because the time of his call is a bit suspicious.We chatted for [-] minutes, and he told me that my application was approved, and the interview with Zhao Mingliang could be completed today. Of course, the whole process must be accompanied by a policeman, and coincidentally, that policeman was Bai Yutang.

I know that Captain Bao helped a lot in this matter, otherwise he would not have gone through all the necessary procedures so quickly. After all, Zhao Mingliang is a very important criminal, and he is the first one in D city to be publicly disclosed by the media. Serial killers have received unprecedented attention.Alas, sometimes I get really impatient with the media, and while there's a psychological explanation for their behavior, I still think it's one of the most annoying of all human vices.I don't know what to say, maybe I should be thankful, at least during the whole process of solving the case, the police did a good job of blocking the news.

On the way to the prison, Bai Yutang told me that in fact, after we captured Zhao Mingliang a month ago, this now very famous serial killer had named me by name more than once, hoping to see me.He even made up some other cases besides the five murders, hoping that I could interrogate him in exchange for guilty pleas.What should I say?To be honest, I was really flattered, after all, no interviewee has ever been so interested in me, and Zhao Mingliang was the first one.

The whole communication process was very smooth, which is also a surprise to me. I think I got another example today, about the difference between a serial killer and an ordinary person.Sometimes it's so different, and sometimes it's so trivial.I saw Zhao Mingliang again after a month. He looked thinner, but he was in good spirits.Before answering the first question, we had a simple exchange to let each other relax.Speaking of it, chatting with serial killers is sometimes like chatting with ordinary people. You also need to find suitable topics and cultivate a harmonious atmosphere, otherwise it will be difficult to communicate.When I communicated with Zhao Mingliang, Bai Yutang seemed a little serious and uncomfortable, which I completely understand, after all, this was his first time doing such a job.So before I entered the interview room, I told him not to speak during the whole process unless it was necessary. He had a bad face at the time, but he still agreed. Although he didn’t do it in the end, he cooperated as much as possible. I work.From this point of view, he is really a very good policeman, and a good friend.

I have recorded the process of the interview in the file, and those professional analyzes will not be repeated in the diary. After all, it is something the old man is more interested in, not mine.The diary is my private space. Today I suddenly felt that I wanted to record something, because Captain Bao told me that if nothing happens, Zhao Mingliang will be executed in three months.Because of today's interview, I want to leave something behind, record this cold-blooded and ruthless killer, and also record my personal views on this case.

Serial killers like Zhao Mingliang do not account for the majority in statistics. Although he has antisocial personality disorder, the condition is not serious.According to my guess, this has something to do with him growing up in a middle-income family and living a comfortable life.There was no violent tendency in his childhood, and his adolescence was generally normal, but I noticed that he was a withdrawn child since he was a child, and was rejected by the collective because of his introverted personality.Of course, his family life is not considered happy. Although he has no worries about food and clothing, his parents care little about him and often leave him at home alone because of work.When he was bored, only some old people from the neighbors often came to take care of him, that is, these childhood experiences made him yearn for and favor people who are willing to take care of and help others.This is a very positive attitude. If it is emphasized positively in the future growth process, Zhao Mingliang's life will definitely be different.But what happened was that when Zhao Mingliang was about ten years old, his parents left the city where they lived because of a job transfer. After changing the environment, Zhao Mingliang almost lost all contact with his former neighbors. There is also no news, and the relationship between people has not improved after entering the new school.

In fact, many introverted children have encountered similar situations when they were growing up, and I have too, so I talked with him a lot on this topic in the interview, and he himself admitted that it is his own personality that he cannot integrate into the group He couldn't blame it on his parents' transfer work.But I have to say, the importance of love in a child's growth process, its energy is so huge, sometimes it can even make a great person, of course, its absence sometimes leads to the birth of a serial killer.

Having said that, I have to record a contrary example, Yu Haifeng.Because of time constraints, I did not complete the profile before catching Zhao Mingliang. It can be said that the profile of the motive for committing the crime has always been blank.Therefore, it can be said that it is a very lucky thing to catch Zhao Mingliang and finally rescue Wu Xiaoting under such circumstances.The police did not find out the relationship between Yu Haifeng and Zhao Mingliang at first, but after we caught Zhao Mingliang, we found a lot of evidence and clues in his car, and finally connected the whole case together.Yu Haifeng was indeed the motive of Zhao Mingliang's first murder, and the two of them did know each other.Yu Haifeng is a very kind person. His occupation is very ordinary and his income is very meager, but he is very willing to help others.He joined the volunteer organization very early and was the earliest member of the volunteer association in D City.The rescue that time can be said to be accidental, but for a kind-hearted young man like Yu Haifeng, his actions were completely instinctive and inevitable.Zhao Mingliang and Yu Haifeng met a year ago. At that time, Zhao Mingliang's company was entrusted by the Municipal Association to develop a software for counting activities for Yu Haifeng's volunteer organization.Zhao Mingliang was assigned to do this job, and that's when he met Yu Haifeng.

Because Yu Haifeng was just an ordinary member of the volunteer organization, Zhao Mingliang seldom communicated with Yu Haifeng directly when approaching work, so almost no one had any impression of the fact that the two of them knew each other.After the police found Yu Haifeng, they only asked his work unit. Although the colleagues knew that Yu Haifeng was doing volunteer work, they didn't know Zhao Mingliang at all, so they didn't find out the fact that the two of them knew each other in time.As for Yu Haifeng, Zhao Mingliang refused to talk about the relationship between the two of them. He just said that everything was as described in my profile. He was out of righteous indignation and saw injustice, so he killed Gao Yang to avenge Yu Haifeng.

Yes, he used such fierce words as revenge, because in his opinion, it was not the driver who caused the accident that killed Yu Haifeng, but the indifferent onlookers headed by Gao Yang.Since Gao Yang was one of the people who benefited the most, he chose to kill him.

"Even the law supports that the person who has gained the most should compensate the loss suffered by the righteous, right?"

At that time, Zhao Mingliang stared at me with sharp eyes and sharp tone, as if he must give me an explanation.Apparently, he has done a lot of research on the law's definition of bravery.According to information, after Yu Haifeng's death, the volunteer organization applied for him to be recognized as a brave man, but because no one at the scene was willing to testify, the application was not approved.According to Zhao Mingliang, the reason why he approached Gao Yang was because he wanted Gao Yang to testify, but Gao Yang refused.

This morning, I sat opposite Zhao Mingliang and looked into his eyes. I must have seen a deep sadness in his eyes.But I believe that what he saw in Gao Yang's eyes back then was only deep indifference.Although I can analyze Gao Yang's mentality and the mentality of passers-by from a professional point of view, I have to admit that they are indeed very indifferent and morally untenable, but they have not violated the law.A feeling of helplessness is regrettable, because after Zhao Mingliang left Gao Yang's company, he began to plan a series of murder cases, which he called trials, which belonged to him alone.

Zhao Mingliang said that when he killed Gao Yang, he didn't think about committing the crime a second time, he just wanted to avenge Yu Haifeng, but the news of Gao Yang's death did not cause any disturbance, and the social response he expected did not appear, so he was very angry .So, he posted the content of the original video on the Internet. This time he was not disappointed. He got feedback, but the content of the feedback was completely opposite to what he expected.The vast majority of people showed excitement and interest in the murder video, but did not have any doubts or accusations.

"Do you think I'm a pervert?" Zhao Mingliang looked at me with mocking eyes when he asked this question, but he didn't expect my answer. In fact, he just wanted to further express his thoughts.

"This society needs a code of conduct, and the audience cannot provide such a code. They are just spectators, and I just provide them with a lively person. They don't understand me, but it doesn't matter, as long as they are still watching, that's enough. I just want some gazes to witness the death of the indifferent, and these gazes, no matter how eager they are, are chillingly indifferent."

The police found a lot of information on that truck. Apart from the accident about Yu Haifeng, there were about a dozen other accidents. Indifferent onlookers event.Zhao Mingliang said that he selected the victims from the onlookers of those cases, killed the victims and threw them to the pre-selected place, arranged it like a court trial scene, and recorded the process of discovering the bodies through cameras.And he himself admitted that he got the same pleasure in the later killing process as he did when he killed Gao Yang for the first time. This pleasure excited him and made him unable to stop.If we hadn't caught him, he'd have been doing it forever, he's a serial killer through and through.

This is also the difference between antisocial personality disorder and ordinary people. Many people have suffered setbacks to varying degrees in childhood and adolescence, and there are also many people who will hate the indifference of human nature after hearing what happened to Yu Haifeng, but Not everyone kills because of it.

We have human nature, and human nature is not perfect, but we still have to use human nature to constrain our behavior.If we can't control it, then we become the devil.

At the end of the interview, Bai Yutang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. The conversation between him and Zhao Mingliang has also made me think about it until now.

He stared into Zhao Mingliang's eyes and said, "Since Yu Haifeng is a good person in your heart, why did you avenge them by killing people? He saved the child, but you killed his father. You Do you think this can maintain social order and fairness?"

"So, Police Officer Bai, if this happened to you, if your relatives and friends were killed by the indifference of human nature, what would you do?" Zhao Mingliang stared at Bai Yutang, the mockery appeared again on his lips smile.

Bai Yutang was not angry, he just looked at Zhao Mingliang seriously, and replied, "I will help them find the murderer."

"What about after that? If you find that even if you find it, there is still nothing you can do about it. This society itself is sick, so what should you do?"

"Maybe what you said makes sense. We really don't live in a perfect world." I noticed that when Bai Yutang said this, his expression was very bad. He stared at Zhao Mingliang for a moment, and then spoke in an unprecedented tone. "However, I will not vent my anger on the weak because of this. This is why, I chose the police career, because catching a person like you will make the world a little closer to perfection." .”

Bai Yutang's words were wonderful and thought-provoking, but they were also terrible.Because after hearing what he said, Zhao Mingliang refused to talk to me any more.Maybe he was offended, maybe he didn't want to face us again, but my interview ended after an hour and a half.

Walking out of the prison gate, bathed in the bright sunlight at noon, I saw a very warm smile on Bai Yutang's face.

The world is indeed not perfect, indifference is everywhere, and sometimes it is as unbreathable as hell.But even so, this is not an excuse for us to harm others.Bai Yutang said that we must work hard to make it closer to perfection. Isn't our work for so many days just to allow more people to enjoy the warm sunshine?
