crime profiler in the dark

White Tiger Police Station

It was already evening when Bai Haolin arrived, and Sergeant Qi also returned to the department, but instead of rushing into the interrogation room immediately, he summoned his subordinates to sort out the evidence in hand, including understanding how Zhuang Xumao discovered him. Lin also told Sergeant Qi and the others what he knew, but withdrew the part about the west courtyard of Lanshan Mental Hospital that he felt had nothing to do with the case.

"Chief Qi, this is his information." Zhao Yue sorted out all the information he found about Zou Jun and handed it to Chief Qi.

Sergeant Qi took a quick look and frowned: "He has a history of mental illness?!"

"It's hysteria, and I'm currently receiving treatment." Zhuang Xusubaru instinctively raised his hand, only to realize that he was in the police station, not in the classroom, and quickly put his hand down.

"Zou Jun also knew Wu Hua, the deceased in the serial throat-cutting case, and it is no coincidence that he appeared at the scene of the crime again," Bai Haolin said.

"What about the evidence?" Sergeant Qi looked at another subordinate, Officer Qian.

"The support department hasn't found it yet." It's only a few hours before they found the crime scene. In addition, the abandoned hotel has a large area and a lot of evidence, and there was an explosion, which slowed down the progress of evidence collection and inspection.

Sergeant Qi's brows tightened even more. In his opinion, Zou Jun was brought back to the police station only because Zhuang Xumao had doubts about his behavior at the scene of the crime, and there was no substantive evidence. There was no reason to let him go, but he had already been brought back to the police station. He asked, "Have you read out his rights?" That is, Miranda warned that when arresting a suspect, the police must inform him of his right to silence and The right to ask a lawyer, otherwise the arrest will be deemed invalid.

"Ah? No!" Zhuang Xusubaru trembled. After all, he had just joined the police station not long ago and worked in the psychological support department. He rarely appeared on the scene. This was the first time he participated in the arrest of suspects, so he completely forgot about it. As for the police who assisted in his arrest and left after handing him over to the Criminal Investigation Department, they did not read it out.

Sergeant Qi's face darkened, before he could speak, Bai Haolin came to the rescue:

"We just brought him back to the police station for questioning as a witness, not a suspect. After all, there is no evidence to prove that he is related to this case, so there is no need to read his rights to him yet."

After hearing Bai Haolin's words, Sergeant Qi felt that it made sense, and asked again: "Has he got a lawyer?"

"not yet."

"Very good, Xiaobai, tell me about his relationship with the serial throat-cutting case." Sergeant Qi said.

So Bai Haolin told them all about Zou Jun and Wu Hua being treated in the Lanshan Mental Hospital, and that Zou Jun had been to Wu Hua's house before committing suicide, and finally expressed his conclusion:

"Although Zou Jun is related to the relevant personnel of the two cases, it is undeniable that these connections are too weak, and only the psychological traces are too similar. I chose a place very close to the window, which is the same as the first case of the serial throat slitting case-the murderer deliberately turned the victim over while killing it, facing the glass, just to admire his masterpiece below, so I think You can start here."

"But it should be a subconscious action. I'm afraid even Zou Jun didn't realize it. It might be very difficult to use this as a breakthrough!" Zhuang Xumao said.

Zhuang Xusubaru's words reached the hearts of other police officers. After all, psychological traces are not like tangible evidence, and it is difficult to define them.

"First find a way to detain him for 48 hours, and wait until the support department finds the evidence." Police officer He Huan suggested.

"What's the reason? As a witness, we have no reason to detain him for 48 hours." Sergeant Qi vetoed it.

"Can't you ask him first? Maybe he's stupid and told the whole story?" Zhuang Xumao asked.

"No matter how stupid you are!" Police officer Zhao Yue said, "If you want to scare the snake, it will be bad if he asks for a lawyer. His lawyer will definitely use his history of mental illness to exonerate him."

Sergeant Qi thought for a while and said, "I'll see his reaction first."
