crime profiler in the dark

Kui Town is located 246 kilometers southwest of TMX. It is a small town with only about 1000 people. Kui Town is surrounded by mountains. With the development of the tourism industry, many tourists will come for sightseeing every spring and autumn, and the terraced fields have become a major tourist attraction in Kui Town.

This time the Criminal Investigation Division [-] sent to Kui Town a team led by Inspector Zhu and Inspector Xu. In addition to eight police officers, the team also included criminal profiler Bai Haolin and chief forensic officer Dr. Jiang Jinghong. Powerful, it seems that Superintendent Sima attaches great importance to this case, which makes Bai Haolin wonder why the police station is so mobilizing.

After nearly three hours of trekking, after passing through a nearly one-kilometer-long tunnel, the three-vehicle convoy entered the border of Kui Town. The rain here was heavier than that in TMX City, and it took another half an hour to walk on the muddy mountain road. Just arrived in Kui Town, due to the heavy rain, there were much fewer pedestrians on the street than before. At the entrance of the town, the mayor and the magistrate were already waiting there with umbrellas.

Because they did not want to cause panic among the media and the public, the police station did not come with much fanfare this time. They drove two SUVs and an ordinary car, did not honk their horns, and the sheriff and police officers were also dressed in civilian clothes.

The mayor, surnamed Hu, is about sixty years old. He participated in the Vietnam War and was hit by a stray bullet in his right leg during a battle, so that he needed to walk on crutches. He has gray hair, a strong figure, and a serious expression.

The security officer, surnamed Wen, is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He was wearing a police uniform with his cap tucked under his arm.Because Kui Town is sparsely populated, there are only two people in the Public Security Management Office. In addition to Police Officer Wen, there is also a trainee police officer Xiaotian who has only been here for four months. Things like waiting for tourists to claim them, let alone dead bodies, Police Officer Wen has been a security officer in Kui Town for nearly 20 years, and he has never even taken a decent case. This time, Oda was terrified. Can't eat anything.

After Inspector Zhu and Inspector Xu introduced the team members to Mayor Hu and Officer Wen, Officer Wen said:

"Inspector Liu has already called me. It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go back to the public security station first."

The government of Kui Town is next to Kui Town Primary School. It is a two-story house with red tiles and white bricks, covering an area of ​​only more than 100 square meters. It can't be seen that this is an administrative office, because the town is small, and the staff in the government is also the most basic configuration. There are only 12 office staff in the entire government.

The Public Security Management Office is on the first floor, which is the largest department in the government.It covers about [-] square meters, including a detention room of [-] square meters, an interrogation room of [-] to [-] square meters, an office area of ​​[-] square meters, and a file room of [-] square meters. It looks very crowded.

This operation was led by Sergeant Zhu. He first conveyed the meaning of Superintendent Sima, and then asked Sergeant Wen to introduce the current situation.

Officer Wen cleared his throat and began to tell:

"Hey, it's like this. There are many willow trees planted beside the Weiyin canal, and many townspeople like to exercise by the canal. Last Tuesday at around ten o'clock in the morning, Lao Zhang in the town found floating objects in the canal when he was exercising. He thought it was an unethical person throwing things everywhere, and Lao Zhang was an enthusiastic person. He thought it was the peak tourist season, and if there was garbage in the canal, it would affect the interest of tourists too much, so he borrowed a bamboo pole from a nearby shop and tried to Take away the rubbish," Police Officer Wen said in detail because he was afraid that everyone would not know the cause and effect. He was so frightened that he called us, and Xiaotian answered the phone, thinking it was because of the two people's eyesight, so he went first, but later found out that it was really a floating corpse, and it was noon at that time, and the number of tourists gradually increased."

"We didn't pay attention to it, because many people like to row boats and fish in Weiyin Canal, and they have drowned people in the past," Mayor Hu said. It was sent to the media, and two days later, the media flocked to them. Some people also came saying that their family members had drowned in Weiyinqu and could not find their bodies. "

"How much?!" A police officer who was taking notes asked, having misheard himself.

"Twelve." Officer Wen repeated.
