I'm innocent [Comprehensive British American]
Chapter 180
Qiu Chengke didn't feel very comfortable, he put himself into Maki Yamanaka's perspective, and killed himself once in his mind.
"How does it feel to stuff yourself into a suitcase?" Morgan came over and teased, "You look really bad."
"I still can't figure out who the murderer should be." Qiu Chengke rubbed his temples and said.
"You should learn to observe the crime scene." Morgan said pertinently.
"What did I miss?" Qiu Chengke asked suspiciously.
"Footprints." Reid squatted down, pointed to a piece of banana peel next to the trash can and said, "The murderer left footprints on it."
"This may also be left by the police or someone else." Qiu Chengke leaned over and observed carefully, ignoring the sour smell from the trash can.
"The murderer is obviously a thin man. His steps are brisk, and his footprints are narrow and shallow." Morgan pointed to the traces on the banana peel and said, "The bare feet are about 26.18 inches long, wide and long, muscular and less fat, which are obviously male characteristics. "
"Maki Yamanaka was hit to death by pressing his head. The murderer was a young and middle-aged man with a fairly strong body. After chasing him for a while, he still had enough physical strength to kill the victim in the most direct and brutal way." Reid said, "The age is between 16 and 44 years old, the psychological structure is relatively stable, and the murderer has strong control ability. The body is strong, but the process of committing the crime takes a long time, and the use of violence is the characteristic of young people. Combined with the previous characteristics , the murderer was between the ages of 19 and 23."
"Derrick is indeed not the murderer." Morgan folded his arms and said, "But he must have something to do with drugs."
"If it wasn't political revenge, why did the murderer stuff her into the suitcase? If it was premeditated political revenge, why didn't the murderer prepare a weapon?" Qiu Chengke looked into Reid's eyes and asked softly. He felt that he was about to know The truth, but something is missing.
"You should learn to take the case apart. You have a lot of puzzle pieces in your hand, and you have to learn to fit them with the gaps." Reid slowed down his voice, and raised his hand to hold Qiu Chengke's cheek.
This should be a very ambiguous action, but beside the trash can, it is difficult for the two of them to feel a little charming.
Because the whole case has been figured out from beginning to end, the next work is much simpler.Morgan relaxed. While arranging his body armor, he watched the two colleagues flirt with each other.
The fly landed on the tip of Rhett's nose, Rhett couldn't help shaking his head, and sneezed sideways.Looking at his movements, Qiu Chengke gently hooked the corners of his mouth.
"This is political revenge and a murder of passion. Maki Yamanaka was killed because her lover was Derrick. The reason why she came to Washington DC was because she found out about Derrick smuggling drugs , I want to hand them over to the police." Qiu Chengke pointed at the tip of Reid's nose, and said softly, "She doesn't want it to become an international dispute, but just wants to report a drug smuggler as an ordinary person. What a pity, Yamanaka Maki is a good girl."
"Then what about the matter we chose to cooperate with Derrick?" Morgan asked the question he was most concerned about, and he looked at Qiu Chengke worriedly, "He only knows that there is something hidden in the matter now, and we cannot guarantee that he will not take this Tell some people what happened, and prepare early.”
"He won't." Reid raised his head and said affirmatively to Morgan. "I've seen the video of his speech. His political stance is firm. He may be greedy for money but he will not betray his faith."
"Greed can change a lot." Qiu Chengke frowned slightly.
"But he won't," Reed emphasized. "I'm sure. I profiled him on video, and he's not going to sell us out."
Qiu Chengke looked at Morgan, who shrugged and said, "I believe in profiling, but I don't believe it completely. I hope it will be foolproof."
"Can you also use the video of his speech and those paper materials to confirm that he will not betray his faith?" Qiu Chengke asked.
Morgan nodded.
"I thought I had learned a lot." Qiu Chengke sighed, "I watched the same things as you, but I couldn't see anything except his political views."
"You still need more practice, you are still searching for the truth with your instinct. But if the murderer is not in front of you, your instinct will not be able to work." Reid likes to watch Qiu Chengke being led step by step, step by step towards the truth look.
This made him feel more truly that he was the most important part of Qiu Chengke's life. He and Qiu Chengke supported each other, rather than relying on one side.
Before falling in love with Qiu Chengke, Reid seldom cared whether his body was strong or not.Because he already has a smart brain, and his wisdom is his weapon.He also has a gun, and healthy limbs, which he believes are enough for him to protect himself.
But when he put Qiu Chengke in his heart, put on that plain engagement ring, and promised to be with Qiu Chengke for the rest of his life.
He began to think.How would he use his thin body and poor physical strength to protect Qiu Chengke who was always walking on the verge of death.
Reid has a clear understanding of his abilities, he doesn't think he can play any role in a fight, but at least he can make Qiu Chengke's mind better.
"When you really learn to profile, you will find a lot of interesting things. You can determine a person's age, personality and job through the movement of walking, which can give you a basic understanding of a person." Reid's voice Very light, as if whispering to Qiu Chengke, he said seriously, "It's like when I first saw you, I knew you were a killer before, and you walked very lightly. I like staying in dark places, like Leaning against a wall or huddled in a small environment, you feel insecure, and for you, the world is dangerous."
"So you saved me." Qiu Chengke said while holding Reid's hand.
"Are you sure you want to kiss next to the trash can?" Morgan said jokingly.
"I didn't mean to kiss," Rhett said with a wink.
"Keep your pink bubbles away from me. I've seen you show your affection too many times, so now I actually think it's good to fall in love with a man." Morgan said exaggeratedly.
"I know a gay bar, and there is a bartender with a good figure." Qiu Chengke joked.
"When will you go gay behind my back?" Reid said helplessly, "Is it really okay to say this at the scene of the crime?"
"If you don't interlock your fingers with Qiu Chengke, this sentence will be more convincing." Morgan put away his smile and said seriously, "We should go find the murderer, he needs to pay for his impulse."
After locking the scope, it was much easier to arrest people, and they quickly found the murderer's home.
The murderer is 20 years old, a high school graduate and a taxi driver. Because he made radical remarks when he was a student, he had many conflicts with classmates who had different opinions, and was persuaded to leave by the school.
He is exceptionally stubborn about his own ideas and finds it difficult to tolerate different points of view.At work, he accidentally injured a customer because of this.
After Yamanaka Maki came out of the airport, he took his car.
Qiu Chengke held his hand/gun, leaned against the wall and turned his head to Morgan, then kicked open the door and shouted sharply, "FBI investigation!"
There was a scream in the room, and an elderly woman stood up on the sofa tremblingly, looking at Qiu Chengke who broke in in a panic.
"You... what do you want, what are you going to do?" the old man asked tremblingly.
Seeing the old man's gray-haired and aged face, Qiu Chengke hesitated for a moment and put down his gun.He raised his hands, indicating that he would not hurt her, and he softened his expression and said softly, "Don't be afraid, we just have something to do with your grandson."
"But he left last night." Sensing Qiu Chengke's kindness, the old man said slowly and courageously.
"Do you know where he went?" Rhett asked.
The old man didn't answer right away. She asked hesitantly, "Did he fight with someone else? He came home late yesterday and his body was covered in blood. He said he was beaten, but I didn't see the wound."
"I'm sorry, but your grandson killed someone," Qiu Chengke said.
"I should have thought that sooner or later he would make a mistake because of his stubbornness." The old man said sadly, "If I ask you, can you not send him to prison?"
"He killed someone." Qiu Chengke repeated.
"Can I go to prison instead of him, as many years as possible." The old man begged again, "His life is still very long, and he hasn't really experienced it yet."
"He killed someone." Qiu Chengke didn't say anything, but just recounted the facts.
The old man nodded, she let out a long sigh, tears rolled down her wrinkled face.
"You are a good man. You respect life and me." Looking at Qiu Chengke's gentle gaze, the old woman took a deep breath and said with a choked voice, "Hurry up and catch him. He left last night. I don't know where he went. , but I know he's never coming back, and you can't catch anything here."
Rhett didn't leave immediately, he walked over quickly and pushed open the bedroom door.
Clothes scattered on the floor and an overturned pizza box speak to the haste with which the occupant of this room left.
The drawer in the room was pulled open, and Rhett visually inspected the width of the drawer and the traces of the things inside, and determined that there should be a pistol/gun inside,
There were still a few newspapers on the bed in the messy bedroom. Reid spread out the newspapers and quickly read them.
"He's watching the news about the Alaska election." Morgan said, glancing at the headlines in the newspaper.
"Check last night's flight, the murderer already knows that he has nowhere to go, and he intends to kill him." Reid raised his head, and said to Qiu Chengke who had just opened the door with an ugly face, "He killed Day when he was giving a speech on the general election this afternoon. Rick."
....................................
Hu Qi noticed that Derrick looked at his watch from time to time, he was very concerned about the general election speech in the afternoon.
"You have no evidence to prove that the drugs on Maki Yamanaka have nothing to do with you." Al narrowed his eyes and said, "There is a big problem with your recent bank records. Several users are sending you money. Can you explain this?" something?"
"Well, I admit that they are flattering me." Derrick rolled his eyes and said, "I promise that I will return the money after the election. I know this is corruption and bribery, but I don't want to offend at such a critical time." Some people. You should understand that they can do it."
"Who are they?" Hu Qi asked coldly.
Derrick said a few names, and after checking with Garcia, Al and Garcia confirmed that the money was indeed sent to Derrick's private account.
"You should know that if this matter is reported, your approval rating will be severely negatively affected." Al leaned forward and said.
"But I have to do this. If I want to climb up, I need to be tactful. I can't fight against them." Derrick straightened his back, raised his hand and said seriously, "I swear, after the election is over, regardless of success or failure, I will give the money Back off, no points left. I just don't want them to get in the way."
"He's lying." Dr. Foster whispered to Dr. Letterman, tilting his head. "He shook his head when he swore, and he used two promise words. He didn't have confidence in what he said."
"Now we can at least be sure that he was a greedy man," Dr. Letterman said. "But he must not be the one who killed Maki Yamanaka. When Hooch mentioned that there might be something of him at the murder scene. He sneaked under the table. Rubbing his hands, he didn't expect that Maki Yamanaka would have drugs on him."
"If you want me to say that the drugs must belong to him." Dr. Foster raised his voice slightly and said, "Look at his expression just now, his forehead betrayed him."
Her voice was a little louder, and the people who were talking in front of her were all stunned and looked at her in unison.
Dr. Letterman immediately reached out and slapped her, and said to the others, "Go ahead, don't worry about us, we're just talking casually."
Seeing this, Hu Qi turned to look at Derrick, who kept rubbing his nose and pursing his lips tightly.
Even if he wasn't a lie detectorist, Hu Qi could see the panic on Derrick's face.His face darkened, and he said to Dr. Letterman, "No matter what you see, please tell us, and we will further verify your judgment."
"The general election is imminent, and we cannot allow a drug smuggler to become the governor under any circumstances." Al followed up.
They didn't pull out their guns, didn't leave their seats, and didn't even focus on Derrick.
But Derrick already felt threatened, and his hand under the table was shaking uneasily.Before Hu Qi spoke again, he said firmly, "I did not smuggle drugs."
Hu Qi heard this and looked at Derrick. Derrick's micro-expression already explained everything, but he still repeated, "I did not smuggle drugs. You don't have any evidence to correct me. I can clearly explain every profit None of the sources are related to drugs."
"You should know we'll have evidence soon," Al said.
"No matter what you say, I have a general election speech today." Derrick stood up, sorted out his speech, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.
"You have no chance to become the governor." Al picked up his satchel and followed Hu Qi out.
"I have a speech this afternoon." Derrick said slowly, "It's a very important speech to me, and I'm willing to give everything for it, even if it doesn't make me a governor."
"So, what about death." Hu Qi handed the phone to Derrick.It was a text message that Reid sent him, telling him that the murderer who killed Maki Yamanaka would assassinate Derrick in the election speech.
Derrick's face turned pale, and he pursed his lips.He read this short sentence over and over again, and he hugged his speech tightly, as if he was hugging his most important thing.
"My speech this afternoon is very important, Hu Qi." Derrick eased his tone, with a taste of pleading, "My life is shining because of it, and it is only half an hour later, and my speech is only two minutes away." 10 minutes, this last hour, please let me stand on the podium."
Hu Qi didn't stop him anymore, he turned his body to let Derrick walk out of the reception room.
"I can't understand his persistence." Al looked at the door of the reception room and said softly, "Everything he does is meaningless. He will go to jail within a few days after the speech is over."
"Because this is his last chance to be successful." Dr. Letterman hummed. "He is very proud, and he wants his efforts to have a perfect ending."
"So we just watch him die?" Al asked hesitantly.
"No, let's go catch the murderer." Hu Qi looked down at his watch and continued, "The audience is almost here now. If a non-professional murderer wants to assassinate Derrick, he needs to close the distance between him and the podium , he must have been there."
"When the evidence of Derrick's drug smuggling has not been found, he is not a criminal, but an ordinary person." Hu Qi said calmly, "It is our responsibility to protect the life of an American people."
Derrick stood in the preparation room, and he straightened his tie over and over again.He wiped the sweat from his face.Take deep breaths to calm yourself down.
He no longer has to worry about whether he should look haggard or not in order to win the sympathy of voters.
Derrick knew that he had completely lost the chance to become the governor, and Hu Qi allowed him to continue to speak, which was also the greatest kindness.
Derrick didn't want to die, but Derrick didn't want to end all this dishearteningly, and then spend his life in prison.He was sure his speech would be a success, and this was his last chance to enjoy the gaze.
For a moment, Derrick thought, if he wasn't so greedy for money, it would be great if he didn't smuggle those drugs.
He put his lucky button in his mouth and gradually adjusted his state.
Time passed by, and the secretary notified him that he could go on stage.
Derrick stuffed his lucky button into his breast pocket, took a sip of water, and walked up to the podium.
When everyone's eyes were on his face, Derrick suddenly felt that even if he died on this stage, there would be nothing bad for him.
Al took off the silicone on his chest, and quickly shuttled through the crowd. Dr. Letterman looked at the audience on the field through the surveillance video, looking for the young murderer in the photo.
"When I was young, there were gradually refugee gathering places near my house. I think everyone should understand what this means. It means that the place where I live is becoming more and more chaotic. My sister is afraid to go out because the refugees are on the same street as us. .Their homes are destroyed by war, and their souls will be cast in the shadow of war.....This country is ours, not theirs. You can never expect guests to treat your family as well as you do......"
Derrick didn't read his speech, he looked at the crowd below and spoke with great emotion.
He could see Hooch and Al moving through the crowd, and he knew they were trying to catch the killer and protect him.
Derrick touched the lucky button on his chest, paused, and continued, "We respect human rights, we sympathize with the weak, we are willing to share food and shelter, donate clothes unconditionally, without asking for anything in return..."
In the crowd, a hooded man put his hands in his arms.He clenched his hand/gun and pointed the muzzle at Derrick on the stage.
"How does it feel to stuff yourself into a suitcase?" Morgan came over and teased, "You look really bad."
"I still can't figure out who the murderer should be." Qiu Chengke rubbed his temples and said.
"You should learn to observe the crime scene." Morgan said pertinently.
"What did I miss?" Qiu Chengke asked suspiciously.
"Footprints." Reid squatted down, pointed to a piece of banana peel next to the trash can and said, "The murderer left footprints on it."
"This may also be left by the police or someone else." Qiu Chengke leaned over and observed carefully, ignoring the sour smell from the trash can.
"The murderer is obviously a thin man. His steps are brisk, and his footprints are narrow and shallow." Morgan pointed to the traces on the banana peel and said, "The bare feet are about 26.18 inches long, wide and long, muscular and less fat, which are obviously male characteristics. "
"Maki Yamanaka was hit to death by pressing his head. The murderer was a young and middle-aged man with a fairly strong body. After chasing him for a while, he still had enough physical strength to kill the victim in the most direct and brutal way." Reid said, "The age is between 16 and 44 years old, the psychological structure is relatively stable, and the murderer has strong control ability. The body is strong, but the process of committing the crime takes a long time, and the use of violence is the characteristic of young people. Combined with the previous characteristics , the murderer was between the ages of 19 and 23."
"Derrick is indeed not the murderer." Morgan folded his arms and said, "But he must have something to do with drugs."
"If it wasn't political revenge, why did the murderer stuff her into the suitcase? If it was premeditated political revenge, why didn't the murderer prepare a weapon?" Qiu Chengke looked into Reid's eyes and asked softly. He felt that he was about to know The truth, but something is missing.
"You should learn to take the case apart. You have a lot of puzzle pieces in your hand, and you have to learn to fit them with the gaps." Reid slowed down his voice, and raised his hand to hold Qiu Chengke's cheek.
This should be a very ambiguous action, but beside the trash can, it is difficult for the two of them to feel a little charming.
Because the whole case has been figured out from beginning to end, the next work is much simpler.Morgan relaxed. While arranging his body armor, he watched the two colleagues flirt with each other.
The fly landed on the tip of Rhett's nose, Rhett couldn't help shaking his head, and sneezed sideways.Looking at his movements, Qiu Chengke gently hooked the corners of his mouth.
"This is political revenge and a murder of passion. Maki Yamanaka was killed because her lover was Derrick. The reason why she came to Washington DC was because she found out about Derrick smuggling drugs , I want to hand them over to the police." Qiu Chengke pointed at the tip of Reid's nose, and said softly, "She doesn't want it to become an international dispute, but just wants to report a drug smuggler as an ordinary person. What a pity, Yamanaka Maki is a good girl."
"Then what about the matter we chose to cooperate with Derrick?" Morgan asked the question he was most concerned about, and he looked at Qiu Chengke worriedly, "He only knows that there is something hidden in the matter now, and we cannot guarantee that he will not take this Tell some people what happened, and prepare early.”
"He won't." Reid raised his head and said affirmatively to Morgan. "I've seen the video of his speech. His political stance is firm. He may be greedy for money but he will not betray his faith."

Clothes scattered on the floor and an overturned pizza box speak to the haste with which the occupant of this room left.
The drawer in the room was pulled open, and Rhett visually inspected the width of the drawer and the traces of the things inside, and determined that there should be a pistol/gun inside,
There were still a few newspapers on the bed in the messy bedroom. Reid spread out the newspapers and quickly read them.
"He's watching the news about the Alaska election." Morgan said, glancing at the headlines in the newspaper.
"Check last night's flight, the murderer already knows that he has nowhere to go, and he intends to kill him." Reid raised his head, and said to Qiu Chengke who had just opened the door with an ugly face, "He killed Day when he was giving a speech on the general election this afternoon. Rick."

Derrick stood in the preparation room, and he straightened his tie over and over again.He wiped the sweat from his face.Take deep breaths to calm yourself down.
He no longer has to worry about whether he should look haggard or not in order to win the sympathy of voters.
Derrick knew that he had completely lost the chance to become the governor, and Hu Qi allowed him to continue to speak, which was also the greatest kindness.
Derrick didn't want to die, but Derrick didn't want to end all this dishearteningly, and then spend his life in prison.He was sure his speech would be a success, and this was his last chance to enjoy the gaze.
For a moment, Derrick thought, if he wasn't so greedy for money, it would be great if he didn't smuggle those drugs.
He put his lucky button in his mouth and gradually adjusted his state.
Time passed by, and the secretary notified him that he could go on stage.
Derrick stuffed his lucky button into his breast pocket, took a sip of water, and walked up to the podium.
When everyone's eyes were on his face, Derrick suddenly felt that even if he died on this stage, there would be nothing bad for him.
Al took off the silicone on his chest, and quickly shuttled through the crowd. Dr. Letterman looked at the audience on the field through the surveillance video, looking for the young murderer in the photo.
"When I was young, there were gradually refugee gathering places near my house. I think everyone should understand what this means. It means that the place where I live is becoming more and more chaotic. My sister is afraid to go out because the refugees are on the same street as us. .Their homes are destroyed by war, and their souls will be cast in the shadow of war.....This country is ours, not theirs. You can never expect guests to treat your family as well as you do......"
Derrick didn't read his speech, he looked at the crowd below and spoke with great emotion.
He could see Hooch and Al moving through the crowd, and he knew they were trying to catch the killer and protect him.
Derrick touched the lucky button on his chest, paused, and continued, "We respect human rights, we sympathize with the weak, we are willing to share food and shelter, donate clothes unconditionally, without asking for anything in return..."
In the crowd, a hooded man put his hands in his arms.He clenched his hand/gun and pointed the muzzle at Derrick on the stage.
