crime profiler in the dark

Pei Baihaolin predicted things like a god, just as he explained, she said without changing her face: "Since it is his family, let him claim it, and you can decide such a small matter yourself." She didn't turn her head back after she finished speaking He left without hesitation, trying his best to show the indifference of the rich lady to the servants.

"Yes, yes, yes." Granny Wang bowed to see her off. After Lu Yaming left, she led Gao Yunqiao to the utility room, pointed to a small handbag on the ground and said, "Here, this is old Zou We haven’t touched anything about the relics during his lifetime, so you can take them back. The people from Anning Funeral Home picked him up yesterday, you can contact them directly.” She said and handed the funeral home’s business card to Gao Yunqiao.

"Cousin is not easy in life. I didn't expect to leave at such a young age. Did you see a doctor? How did he die?" Gao Yunqiao felt strange. Isn't Zou Zhide still blackmailing Hong Ming?Why did he die suddenly?And it's strange that he lives in Lu's house. Could it be that he was hired by Lu Yaming?

Granny Wang heard the doubts in his words, and hurriedly got rid of the relationship: "How do I know? He had already resigned and was leaving the next day. Miss Nian also worked for the Lu family for a period of time, and specially ordered The kitchen made some delicious food for him, maybe he drank too much wine and died of drunkenness?"

Gao Yunqiao heard the clue: "Miss Lu is really kind-hearted, she will order every worker who resigns like this?"

"Miss just took over the house not long ago, this is the first time." Granny Wang pondered.

"The lady made the meal herself?" Gao Yunqiao seemed to smell something.

"How is it possible? Miss never enters the kitchen." Granny Wang was not confused, she felt that Gao Yunqiao wanted to blackmail them, and said anxiously: "Everyone eats the same meal every night, there is no possibility of food poisoning, and you see You can tell from your cousin's appearance, he walked away very peacefully, it is very likely that he had a heart attack or something."

Gao Yunqiao saw that Granny Wang was so protective of the Lord, and thought to himself that if it was murder, there must be clues on the body, so he took Zou Zhide's things and went to Anning Funeral Home.

Anning Funeral Home

Although the staff of the funeral home were wary of Gao Yunqiao not proving that he and Zou Zhide were cousins, after Gao Yunqiao stuffed a few hundred dollars in his hand, he didn't pursue it further, and he took him to the parking lot. In the corpse room, an iron cabinet was pulled out, and the black body bag was opened:

"We're only storing it temporarily. The Lu family has already paid for the storage fee and the funeral, but it's only the cost of cremation and burial in the public cemetery. If you have other needs, you can pay extra."

Gao Yunqiao didn't care about it at all: "Let me think about it, can I stay alone with my cousin for a while?"

The staff was not surprised by this and agreed.

After he left, Gao Yunqiao began to do a simple autopsy. He opened Zou Zhide's eyes first, the whites of the eyes were free of blood, then opened his mouth, his tongue was normal in color, and then checked his hands. Due to limited time and the fact that he is not a professional forensic doctor, he could only check the most basic situation, but he did not see any problems.

Is it really a heart attack?Gao Yunqiao thought to himself, but he was not Zou Zhide's real family member after all, and it was impossible to arrange an autopsy, so he tore off some of his hair, and prepared to test to see if he was poisoned.

Then Gao Yunqiao looked through Zou Zhide's belongings carefully, and found the memory that Bai Haolin left behind on purpose, and saw many photos and videos secretly taken from his camera, including the meeting between Lu Yaming and Xing Hongming The photos, the snippet of the conversation where she expressed to him that she wanted to take back the humble house; there are many photos of Lu Yaming and Bai Haolin meeting, videos of them doing indescribable things in the small banquet room, and so on.

Seeing this, Gao Yunqiao made a rough guess: this private detective was investigating the cooperation between Lu Yaming and Xing Hongming for some unknown purpose. Because "Veryyum" merged with the humble house, he traced the clues to find out about Extreme Express Freight and found them What he did was just when he was about to hit them hard, he died suddenly!

Judging from the current evidence, Lu Yaming knew nothing about Zou Zhide, otherwise he would not have allowed the camera containing her little secret to fall into the hands of others, and Zou Zhide was already preparing to resign from the Lu family, presumably because he was targeting him. He caught Xing Hongming, a big fish, and was about to take a bite and run away.

This should be the case, but Zou Zhide's sudden death was like a fly on a white wall, which Gao Yunqiao could not ignore.

After dealing with Zou Zhide's matter, Bai Haolin devoted himself to arresting Zhuang Xumao. At the same time, He Guangzhong used all his contacts to find a judge surnamed Cheng who had worked in the American judicial system. When working in the United States, he also encountered a case where criminal profiling was included as evidence, so he agreed to the police's request, but he is currently working on a circuit court project in other places and will not return to TMX City next week.

Hope is at hand.Bai Haolin secretly swore in his heart that if the police could arrest Zhuang Xumao and convict him, he would hand over his father's case to He Guangzhong.

Maybe it's time to go back to the bright side.Bai Haolin said to himself, after all, he still has someone to protect, and he still longs to crucify sinners with the sword of justice like his father did.

But all these hopes were broken by a phone call.

Just the day before Judge Cheng returned to TMX City, Bai Haolin was about to get off work when his cell phone rang, and the caller ID was from the landline in the room where his mother was recuperating in a psychological treatment center. Her mother had suffered from autism since her father was killed. , She completely closed herself off, not to mention making phone calls, she couldn't even take care of herself, so Bai Haolin hired a nurse, Aunt Xu, to take care of her, it should be her who called.

"Aunt Xu." Bai Haolin picked up the phone and called habitually.

But it was not Aunt Xu's voice that rang on the other end of the phone, but Zhuang Xumao's smiling tone: "Brother Haolin, Aunt Xu is going to get Auntie a change of bed sheets."

Bai Haolin froze in place as if frozen in an instant, the blood all over his body rushing straight to his brain, he picked up the landline in the office, just about to call He Guangzhong, but Zhuang Xumao seemed to be standing behind him watching his every move. , block:

"Ah, for the sake of Auntie's safety, let others not disturb us."

"What do you want to do?" Bai Haolin almost gritted his teeth.

"Actually, I was really surprised. It turns out that Brother Haolin's father is a judge." Zhuang Xumao said with a "chichi" smile on the other end of the phone. Is the autism also due to the inability to stand stimulation? Seems like it’s been a big blow after not seeing you for so many years!”

Bai Haolin just wished he could turn into a superman and fly over to tear him into pieces, but he could only spin around the office like a rabid beast, growling, "What the hell are you trying to do?"

"Auntie hasn't left the hospital for a long time, it's time to go out to get some air." Zhuang Xumao is like a friend saying, "We can also have a good chat, but I don't like being disturbed. Brother Hao Lin must go alone. I don't need to refuse the consequences. Say it?"

"Where do you see me?" Bai Haolin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying his best to suppress the trembling of rage.

"What's the point of me saying it? Let's play a game!" Zhuang Xumao said with a smile, "At nine o'clock tonight, if Brother Haolin can find me and Auntie, I will reunite you mother and child! Hehe Don't worry! I'm not a bad person. If you are late, I will still reunite you. It's just that you will cut off part of my aunt every 10 minutes every night. Hey, she has autism anyway, so I can be considered a helper You! So if you want her to be intact, brother Hao Lin, you have to act quickly, there are only less than three hours now!"

"If you dare...!" Bai Haolin wished he could pass through the receiver, but before he could say anything, Zhuang Xuya had already hung up the phone, and the only response was a hasty beep.

Bai Haolin was already furious!This was the first time he was so anxious that he almost lost his mind, but this was the time when he had to be the most calm. He was breathing quickly, pacing back and forth in the office with his hands on his hips, trying to put his anger, hatred, and desire to Zhuang Xusubaru's violent rage was put aside.

After slamming his hands against the wall again, the pain in his joints caused his brain to gradually cool down.

In order to ensure that Zhuang Xumao was not playing tricks on him, Bai Haolin drove to the Psychotherapy Center of TMX Hospital. Outside his mother's room, he met Aunt Xu who was about to get off work. Bai Haolin had known Aunt Xu for many years and knew that she would never Joining hands with Zhuang Xumao, it is very likely that Zhuang Xumao used some rhetoric to convince her, so he said:

"Aunt Xu, is my mother in the room?"

"Hey, didn't you say that you are catching some fugitive? The other party probably sent your colleague to pick her up in order to retaliate against you against your mother?" Aunt Xu was a little surprised.

Bai Haolin knew that this must be a lie made up by Zhuang Xuxuan, but he couldn't expose it right now, so he could only say: "Yes, I'll drop by too, so I'll go find them."

Bai Haolin was about to leave, when Director Xia of the Psychotherapy Institute rushed over after hearing the news: "Haolin, I heard that your colleagues have taken your mother to a safe place to protect her?"

"Yes, Uncle Xia, I'm going there soon." Bai Haolin nodded.

"Hey, why don't you tell me about such a big thing first. Your mother will need medicine sooner or later for her illness, and she hasn't given her the medicine tonight." Director Xia frowned, and he took out a tube of needle-free medicine. Handed the syringe to him, "Use this when you see your mother. First open the safety lock, press the red button, and you'll be right when you hear the sound of 'poof'. Call me anytime if you don't understand." While speaking, he quickly pointed to two places.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Xia." Bai Haolin grabbed the syringe and put it in his bag, and said goodbye in a hurry.

After leaving the psychotherapy center, Bai Haolin's brain began to run rapidly:

The police found Zhuang Xumao very hard before, which means that he must be acting under a pseudonym now, that is to say, he is not in the original apartment or work place, so where is he?

After asking this question, Bai Haolin's mind went blank. After all, he knew very little about Zhuang Xumao, so he could only think from another angle:

After Zhuang Xusubaru resigned from the police station, he disappeared for a long time. During this time, he was in the mental health center of TMX Hospital. The management of TMX Hospital is strict. Only immediate family members and medical staff can come and go freely outside the visiting hours. Is this why he is there? Purpose of work?In order to kidnap my mother and lead me out?

Bai Haolin guessed that it was Zhuang Xumao who resented that he was almost defeated by him - during the interrogation, he had already stepped into the trap set by Bai Haolin. If Lawyer Zeng hadn't been present, he would be in prison now, that is to say, Revenge on him!

Zhuang Xuyou obviously could have kidnapped and killed his mother without anyone noticing, and then told him, but he didn't. Instead, he deliberately called to provoke, but left no clues.

No, it is very likely that he left important clues, but Bai Haolin didn't notice it.

Bai Haolin sat in the car, he knew that sharpening a knife was not a mistake in chopping wood, if he didn't think clearly, he would just scurry around like a headless chicken, wasting the time of rescuing his mother, so now he is not in a hurry to start.

Bai Haolin closed his eyes, and adjusted his thoughts back to when he just picked up Zhuang Xumao's phone call, replaying every word he said over and over again in his mind, suddenly, he thought of something.

How did Zhuang Xumao know that his father was a judge?Bai Haolin has never mentioned it to anyone. Although this was a case that caused a sensation in the city, after all, it has been a long time. Almost no one in the younger generation realizes that the judge who was killed was Bai Haolin's father. When he was 16 years old, that is, he arrived in TMX City 7 years ago, and he would never know about his father's murder.

Did he check relevant information at the police station?Bai Haolin's idea was quickly vetoed by himself. If Zhuang Xumao knew about it, he would definitely use it to attack Bai Haolin during the confrontation, but he didn't, which means he knew about it after the interrogation.

At this time, Bai Haolin suddenly recalled that the gray-haired man once said to himself: "The surname Bai is rare. If I remember correctly, your father is a judge, right?"

correct!Zhuang Xusubaru is his follower, Barbelit, he must have told Zhuang Xusubaru about this!Bai Haolin shivered, and suddenly many thoughts came to his mind like a spring, and one of the terms lingered in his mind: the Black Manor case!He had a strong premonition that Zhuang Xusubaru hijacked his mother there! !

When looking up the case of the Black Manor, Bai Haolin wrote down the address, which is a vast farm nearly an hour's drive away from TMX City. He raised his wrist to look at his watch, and there were almost two hours left before going to this life-and-death appointment. He still needs to go to another place first.

Since the tragedy, the original name of the manor has been forgotten, replaced by this gloomy name: Black Manor.

Due to its remote location and unlucky name, the black manor has been uninhabited for 13 years, and the green vines have already taken over the gate and the thick walls of the manor; The statues of the city are covered with green moss, showing dilapidation everywhere.

It stands to reason that there is no one living here, so there is no electricity, but when Bai Haolin drove to the gate of the manor, he clearly saw lights in the manor that resembled a medieval European castle. Enter the manor alone.

Although Bai Haolin has been extra careful, because he can only move forward with the help of the faint moonlight, the road is full of knee-high weeds, which makes him unable to see clearly what is under his feet, and he will hold his breath when he steps on a dead branch several times and makes a sound. end.

After finally walking to a window that was shining with light, Bai Haolin secretly visited.

This is the dining room of the manor, I saw Zhuang Xumao sitting at one end of the long table, shaking his red wine glass, talking about something, looking at the other end, Bai Haolin saw his mother sitting there dully, she was still as usual , with his head tilted slightly, his eyes lowered.

Seeing his mother intact, Bai Haolin let out a long sigh of relief, but he knew that the battle had just begun.

Bai Haolin walked around the house first, and made sure that Zhuang Xusubaru was the only one here; the house was very big, and besides the main entrance, there was a kitchen, a utility room, and two side doors, a total of five entrances and exits. The main entrance was locked, but I don't know if Zhuang Xusubaru didn't pay attention or what, but the door of the utility room in the northwest corner was unlocked.

Although he was worried that it was a trap, if he wanted his mother to be safe, this was the way with the highest chance of success. Holding his breath, Bai Haolin quietly entered the house from the utility room. The corridor leads to the kitchen, and the restaurant is just behind Zhuang Xumao when entering the restaurant.

It was just a corridor of nearly ten meters, but it was like a long march for Bai Haolin at this time. In order to prevent Zhuang Xumao from making any noise, he took off his leather shoes and mosuoed forward with the help of dim lights. Touch the ground with the soles of your feet first, so as not to make a sound due to the force of the old floor.

Finally entered the kitchen, Bai Haolin quietly walked to the door leading to the dining room, and observed the situation inside through a small gap. At this time, Zhuang Xumao didn't know that Bai Haolin had arrived, he was still shaking leisurely Red wine glass, said to himself:

"...Maybe when I show my worth, he will..." As soon as he finished speaking, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind him, and at the same time, a handkerchief with a strong smell covered his mouth and nose , He passed out before he could react, and just when he closed his eyes and fell sideways, the red wine in his hand was about to spill, the other hand quickly caught it, and put it back on the table without leaking.

After binding the unconscious Zhuang Xusubaru's hands with nylon cable ties, Bai Haolin rushed to his mother's side:

"Mother!" Even though he knew she couldn't hear him, he still called softly, and at the same time checked her situation. Fortunately, Zhuang Xusubaru didn't hurt her.

Bai Haolin searched the pockets of Zhuang Xusubaru, who was unconscious, and found that he was not carrying a weapon, which means that the consequences of the nearly three hours he made Bai Haolin feel like a year were only due to pretending to be a public servant In administrative detention for 15 days - because Bo's mother suffers from autism, he brought her here, but did not restrict her personal freedom; he did not have any weapons, so naturally he did not pose a threat to her safety; lied to the nurse He didn't break the law, including the phone call to Bai Haolin, he could argue that it was a prank.

That is to say, this is a farce that Zhuang Xumao wanted to intimidate and intimidate Bai Haolin from the beginning to the end. It was as disgusting as sending dead rats to someone, but it was not illegal.

Looking at the comatose and sleeping Zhuang Xumao, Bai Haolin knew that if he was handed over to the police, he would only be detained for fifteen days in the end. The people Hao Lin cares about!What's more, Bai Haolin clearly felt that he was still plotting something for that gray-haired man.

Bai Haolin, who had already made up his mind to return to the light, resolutely stepped into the dark area again. At this time, there was only one voice in his head: This is the last time.

But before that, he needed to take his mother back to the psychiatric clinic. Bai Haolin threw Zhuang Xusubaru, who had his hands and feet bound, into the trunk of the car, and then let his mother sit in the passenger seat, and he fastened her seat belt for her. Just as he was about to start the car, suddenly, a weak voice sounded from his right:

"Haolin..."

Bai Haolin looked at her in shock: "Mother!"

It's been almost ten years!Since her father passed away and her mother suffered from autism, this is the second time she has spoken, and the timing of the first time was so delicate that he often felt that it was like a dream, and now her mother has responded to the outside world again , how can he not be excited? !

"Hao...Lin..." Mother called his name softly, although her voice was weak, she was looking at him with warm eyes at this moment, and it was no longer the usual stagnant pool.

"Mother!" Bai Haolin wept with joy, tears flowed from his eyes in an instant, he held her hand, and she held him back, although the strength was very small, he knew that his mother had regained consciousness! "I'll send you back to Uncle Xia right away."

Unexpectedly, when Bai's mother heard this, her breathing suddenly became disordered. She wanted to stop her, but her voice was like a mosquito bite: "No..."

"Mother, what's the matter?" Bai Haolin saw that she was a little unstable, and suddenly remembered the needle-free syringe that Director Xia had given him before he came. Before he went in, he put it in the car just in case.

Mother Bai saw her son pick up the needle-free syringe, unlock the safety lock, and was about to stab her in her leg. She tried her best to stop it, perhaps because she was out of breath, but her lips were twitching, but she couldn't say a word. He took a short breath, but could only watch helplessly as his son dropped the syringe in his hand.

The moment Bai Haolin was about to plunge the syringe into his mother's thigh, his hand suddenly stopped in the air. His intuition made him feel that something was wrong. When he looked at his mother's eyes full of fear, he confirmed his belief even more. The idea is correct:

"They're a gang, aren't they?"

Although the range was small, Mother Bo nodded with all her strength.

Confirming this fact, the blood in Bai Haolin's whole body boiled in an instant. He never expected that he trusted Director Xia so much that he injected psychotropic drugs for his mother all the year round, and put her under house arrest in a psychological treatment center. Monitor Bai Haolin's movements! !

Bai Haolin was furious, and his whole body seemed to be filled with bursting flames. All the anger was transferred to the needleless syringe he was holding, and he broke the needle tube, which was as thick as two fingers, into two pieces in an instant.

But the more this is the case, the more you should be calm. Bai Haolin knows that being arrogant will only give up the advantage he has gained so hard to others. He never thought that this farce directed by Zhuang Xumao can help him get rid of all these things for his mother. Can't fail! !He thought over and over again, called Director Xia, and said in an ordinary tone after he answered:

"Uncle Xia, I have injected medicine for my mother, but because the criminal has not been caught, she needs to stay in the safe house for a few days, and it is not convenient to go back to the treatment center, so please prepare a week's medicine for her, I will later Come and get it."

"No problem, it's just that your mother...is she okay?" Director Xia asked with concern.

"It's still the same, you know." If it was before, Bai Haolin would not have noticed, but now he clearly feels that Director Xia is inquiring about her situation, so of course he will not alert him, with a wry smile answer.

"Hey, it's been almost ten years." Director Xia didn't know whether he was sighing or heaving a sigh of relief, his hypocrisy made Bai Haolin's hatred even deeper.

In order to avoid his outburst, Bai Haolin hurriedly thanked him and hung up the phone.

"Mother, I will not let you be hurt again!" Bai Haolin tightly held Mother Bai's hand, and silently vowed in his heart that he would make those sinners come to justice!

Bai Haolin drove his mother to a high-end private sanatorium in a neighboring city, and then took Zhuang Xumao to a freight warehouse on Xifang Street, Qinglong District.

When Zhuang Xumao opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that he was not in the manor, nor in the police station, but in a place similar to a surgical operating room, but the difference was that his hands and feet were fixed on the cold operating table, standing Next to him was Bai Haolin wearing a raincoat, rain boots and gloves. It was not difficult to see that his outfit was to prevent blood from splashing on his body.

At this time, Bai Haolin was looking at him who had woken up with cold eyes. Before he could pronounce the sentence, Zhuang Xumao couldn't restrain the excitement on his face:

"Hahaha!"

"What are you laughing at?" Although Bai Haolin had punished many sinners, he seldom did it himself. He usually set up psychological traps or resorted to killing people with a knife, and Zhuang Xumao's reaction was really weird.

"Hahaha!" Zhuang Xumao looked up to the sky and laughed, "He really saw you right!!"

"What do you mean?" Bai Haolin felt that he was talking about a gray-haired man, but he still didn't understand what he meant.

"'Bai Haolin is standing in a dark corner where the light cannot shine', this is what he said to me," Zhuang Xumao couldn't hide his unwillingness, "It seems that Professor Ouyang is right! The best serial killer Usually the best criminal profiler!" He looked around the operating room and said, "How long have you been in this business? Am I your first victim? No, no, no, don't say it, let me guess Guess, there should be - five years? The victim should be at least in double digits!!"

"You are the first person I brought here," no, it should be a living person.Bai Haolin added in his heart, he pondered for a while, and said: "Although the two figures are correct, but the range is too wide, it is not your ability." He wanted to provoke him, "Since he sees me so thoroughly, Just one thing: you are the abandoned son he used to test me."

After hearing Bai Haolin's words, Zhuang Xusubaru's face turned livid, and it seemed that he had already realized it without his saying anything.

"I can help you defeat him," Bai Haolin felt that they were plotting something, "When I restrain him in your current position, I will tell him that his plan is to be defeated by you." messy."

Zhuang Xumao didn't answer, he stared at Bai Haolin, and he also stared back at him, the two of them didn't speak, the room was so quiet that only the low-key hum of the ventilator could be heard, after a while, Zhuang Xumao spat out from between the two tiger teeth. one word:

"Instinct Society."

Bai Haolin waited for him to continue.

"Soon this name will bloom in TMX City, and even the whole world!" Zhuang Xusubaru raised his chin with a proud smile, "Finally, I will give you a piece of advice: If you want to defeat the devil, you have to become a more evil devil than him ! But you will also be blamed for the darkest bottom of hell, Bai Haolin, and you will be in a darker world of darkness forever, and no light will be able to shine on you! You will never be able to stand up again!!”

After hearing his words, Bai Haolin sneered and said, "Really? I think it's easier to find light in the dark." As soon as he finished speaking, he stabbed the knife into Zhuang Xusubaru's chest with lightning speed.

Blue Mountain Psychiatric Hospital West Campus, negative second floor

After listening to the visitor's report, the gray-haired man stared at the completed statue, and said, "Zhuang Xumao has completed his task, so he must have taken a step ahead now."

"Without him, our plan wouldn't be..." The other party was still a little worried, until the gray-haired man raised his hand and interrupted him:

"It's okay, you can untie the anchor now and let the giant ship set sail. The endgame is about to begin, I'm really looking forward to it, Barbelit." He said with a wicked smile, as if he had seen The door to a new world opens.

"Yes, I am very much looking forward to your arrival."
