criminal profiling

There was a sound of footsteps outside, awakening the two who were immersed in a strange atmosphere.Zhuang Sheng stepped back and withdrew from Meng Yan's arms, but Meng Yan didn't extend his hand to keep him, but felt lost.

"Hey, Second Brother Meng, you better take a quick step." Shi Ke yelled loudly when he saw Meng Yan. After walking two steps in, he suddenly saw the three corpses in the room, and his whole body trembled. He raised his gun and looked around as if facing an enemy.

"The murderer is really here? Where is it? Come out for me!"

Meng Yan glanced at him lightly, "Stop yelling, he's already gone."

Shi Ke put away his gun, looked at the three corpses, his face completely gloomy.

The identity of the murderer was confirmed, but most of the police forces from the city bureau were searched to no avail. The man seemed to have evaporated from the city.

All the information in the consultation room was brought to the bureau to find out the records of all the patients who came to see a doctor over the years, and then based on the characteristics of the victims in the previous cases, the murderer might choose to kill them.

Even with Meng Yan and Zhuang Sheng checking in, they only narrowed down the scope of the target victims to fifteen—it's just a possibility, not an absolute.Among the fifteen people, there are likely to be the targets of the murderer's remaining three crimes: anger, jealousy and arrogance.

However, the police force is limited, and it is impossible to allocate manpower to protect all potential victims.Fortunately, the murderer is an extremely self-disciplined and rigorous person, which allows him to strictly follow the order of the seven deadly sins when committing crimes, so it is easy to infer that the next crime the murderer will punish is anger.Therefore, at present, the police only need to protect the patients who are linked to "anger".

What makes Shi Kesong even more heaving is that among the 15 people, only one symptom is related to "anger", so we can focus on monitoring and wait for the rabbit.

"This is a careful precaution. If he succeeds or runs away, I will get rid of this skin!" Shi Ke slapped the table heavily, yelling so that spit was flying everywhere, and Xu Jie, who was sitting next to him, moved away in disgust. move.Shi Ke didn't pay attention to his movements, and looked at Meng Yan who was sitting quietly.

"Second brother Meng, do you think this Lin Shen is mentally ill? Not only did he challenge you openly, but he didn't panic at all when he revealed his identity, and he continued to carry out the murder plan." Lin Shen was the psychiatrist's Name, the fugitive murderer now on the arrest warrant.

"Isn't it obvious?" Xu Jie muttered in a low voice, and seeing that Shi Ke didn't pay attention to him, he fixed his eyes on the man sitting on the chair outside the crowd, his eyes sparkling.

The legendary team leader Meng, the founder of the behavioral analysis of the special investigation team.During his tenure, he solved countless serious and important cases and lowered the crime rate of the entire Danteng City with his own efforts.No matter how vicious a criminal is, he is as obedient as a sheep in his hands.

It is said that this man once walked into a fast food restaurant with a suspect who committed ten murders in a row. An hour later, the suspect came out with a gun and surrendered.

It is said that he once broke into a heinous criminal organization as an undercover agent.In less than a year, the boss of the organization was removed from the throne, he became the leader of the organization, and then all the members of the organization were sent to prison in one fell swoop.

It is said that those prisoners who were caught by him did not hold grudges against him, but even compared each other to see who had done more tricks with him.The person who wins the competition will instantly have a higher status among the inmates.

For many years, this man has been the pinnacle of their city bureau, a peak that neither the enemy nor the enemy should cross—unfortunately, for some reason, he quietly retired a year ago, and even the analysis team was disbanded.It has only been a year since he was transferred to the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Bureau, so he missed it because of the chance.

Embarrassed!sigh!

"What are you thinking about?" A chestnut hit the top of his head, and when Xu Jie came back to his senses, he saw Shi Ke's staring eyes, "Let you cross-compare all the people who have been in contact with Lin Shen, including but not limited to Check out social media platforms to see if there is anyone we've missed."

Xu Xie rubbed his head, frowned and muttered, "Why do you keep hitting me on the head? Your IQ has been knocked off."

Shi Ke made a gesture and knocked again, "If you keep talking, your IQ will drop."

"Okay, okay, I'm already investigating." Xu Jie ran to the other side with his computer in his arms, away from the irritable man who couldn't arrest the suspect.He has been doing similar data comparisons these days, so he only needs to organize and adjust them a little bit.

Before Xu Jie's data was called out, Zhuang Sheng who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "There is nothing missing."

Xu Xie paused, and wanted to ask. He saw someone who had been occupying a chair like a decoration since he came in. His eyes moved slightly, and his head turned slightly to one side—although his eyes didn't look over, it was a person who was listening attentively. pose.

I always felt that there was a strange atmosphere between the new Dr. Zhuang and the former leader of the behavior analysis group, Meng.It looked like they knew each other, but when they returned to the bureau, they sat down far away, not only did they not speak, they didn't even make eye contact.

One seemed to be at odds, and the other seemed to be—indulging?

Xu Jie shook his head violently, as if trying to get rid of the weird thoughts in his head.

"How do you know you didn't miss anything? Are you sure that Lin Shen's targets are all among those fifteen people?" Shi Ke asked with a frown.

Faced with Shi Ke's doubts, Zhuang Sheng's expression did not change, and he kept his head down and no one looked at him before, "I'm not sure." Sure, I saw the young man who had been lowering his head looked straight up at him.

"I've read all the paper materials, and the result of screening is fifteen. With Lin Shen's character, he will definitely record important things on paper, so he screened them on the Internet, and the result is the same." Pause After a pause, he frowned and added, "If there is any omission, it must be that there is no record, it only exists in his heart."

After Zhuang Sheng finished speaking, Shi Ke subconsciously looked at Meng Yan.The man looked deeply at Zhuang Sheng's profile, and frowned slightly, unable to tell what was going on in his heart.At this time, Xu Jie had already called up the data he wanted, and he glanced at Zhuang Sheng who became quiet after speaking, and reported the result in a strange tone.

"The result is the same." After a pause, he added emphatically, "There are indeed no omissions."

What surprised Xu Jie was not that Zhuang Sheng knew the correct answer before he used the computer to find out, but the way he came up with the answer.Xu Jie, who went to the consultation room to collect information, was very clear about how much information there was in that not-so-small consultation room. There were several cardboard boxes for the patient's files alone.And in just one day, did this person go through all of them?

What kind of reading speed is that?

Shi Ke was also amazed at Zhuang Sheng's reading speed, but he got used to this kind of thing after being startled.

"In this case, let's focus on those fifteen people, especially the next target." Shi Ke clapped his hands and stood up, looked around, and encouraged his companions who were tired all day, "Everyone cheer up Come on, this time we set up the trap and wait for that kid to drill in, and only wait for someone to get in and tighten the rope around the bag mouth to complete the work, and then stick to it.”

Everyone responded sparsely, but after working overtime for so many days, they finally saw the dawn of victory, with a sense of joy in their exhaustion.

After making tomorrow's work arrangement, Shi Ke asked everyone to go back to rest, and turned around to see the two people who were left behind, both of whom looked worried.Especially Zhuang Sheng, who was thinking about something in his mind, and almost bumped into the vase next to him, but Meng Yan quickly helped him up.

"What's the matter? Are you worried?" Shi Ke walked over and patted Zhuang Sheng on the shoulder, with a big brother tone, "Don't worry, I have made arrangements. As long as Lin Shen dares to come, he will be unable to fly with his wings."

Zhuang Sheng frowned, with worry in his eyes, "I always feel that things are not that simple. Lin Shen insisted on committing crimes in the previous order when both himself and the target were exposed. He jumped into the trap knowing that there was a trap. This is not self-confidence, but stupidity." .And Lin Shen is not a fool."

Shi Ke felt that the young man had little experience after all, and it was inevitable that he would think too much when things came to an end, so he patted Zhuang Sheng on the shoulder and comforted him, "Lin Shen himself has been exposed, but he doesn't know that we already know who his next target is. The information is not equal, and it is inevitable to step on the trap, right?" As he spoke, he turned to Meng Yan who was standing next to him for support.

Meng Yan raised his eyes, and glanced lightly at Shi Ke's hand on Zhuang Sheng's shoulder. If there was any substance in that gaze, Shi Ke unconsciously withdrew his hand for some reason.Meng Yan lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "You think too simply." Regardless of Shi Ke's choked expression, he looked down at Zhuang Sheng, and said in a soft tone:

"Shengsheng, you haven't eaten dinner, let's go, I'll take you to dinner."

"No, no, Second Brother Meng, Team Leader Meng, how can you still eat after you say that. Could it be that we guessed wrong? Will it still follow the previous arrangement? Do you want to change the countermeasures?" Seeing Meng Yan Holding Zhuang Sheng's shoulders and about to walk out of the gate, Shi Ke stretched out his hand as if calling, and was unable to speak for a moment.

Meng Yan paused at the door, looked sideways, and his eyes were calm.

"The current arrangement is the most appropriate until the specific actions of the suspect cannot be accurately known."

After saying this, he left the Municipal Bureau with Zhuang Sheng.

Shi Ke stood alone in the corridor, his back looked a little bleak, his eyes were filled with resentment, and he complained in a low voice.

"What time is it? Is eating more important than handling cases?"

It's a pity that he only dared to say this sentence behind his back, not in front of Meng Yan.

Zhuang Sheng was preoccupied with the case and didn't know who was standing next to him. He was taken outside by Meng Yan in a daze, only to recover when the cold wind blew at night.Zhuang Sheng who came back to his senses immediately stood still, clenched his fists slightly, pursed his lips tightly, and put on a posture of resistance.

The body of his subordinates suddenly stiffened, and Meng Yan understood the reason for Zhuang Sheng's resistance after thinking for a while, and sighed in his eyes.He raised his hand and stroked the youth's black hair, it was still as soft and warm as when he was a child.

The child who only reached the chest back then has now grown to exceed the chin, but it still looks so slender and thin, and it can be completely wrapped into the arms with just a light push.

"Shengsheng, be obedient. Although the case is important, you should also take care of your body. I'll take you to eat something, and then go back to have a good rest, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable again."

The young man who hadn't reacted suddenly raised his head when he heard the latter sentence, "How do you know I have a stomach problem?"

Stared at by Zhuang Sheng's black and white eyes, Meng Yan paused, a little uncomfortable flashed across his face, frowned, and put on a worried look, "Oh, do you have a stomach problem? Look, it must be because you don't eat well You young people, you don’t take your body seriously, isn’t it yourself who suffers from problems?”

The familiar scolding tone made Zhuang Sheng's eyes warm, he quickly lowered his head, and said in disbelief, "You're not much older than me."

"Yes, yes, Shengsheng has grown up now, there is no need for brother Yan."

Maybe it was the familiar title, or maybe it was the man's usual tone of coaxing a child, as if the eight years in the middle no longer existed.

Zhuang Sheng followed Meng Yan obediently, sat down to eat obediently, and was sent back to the dormitory by him obediently.

Before leaving, Meng Yan rubbed Zhuang Sheng's hair, the smile in his eyes was full of indulging warmth.He looked down at the young man who had been bowing his head and not looking at him tonight, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

"Go to sleep and have a good dream."

When Zhuang Sheng raised his head, the figure of that person had disappeared in the aisle, but the deep and mellow sound of "good dream" was still lingering in his ears, accompanying him to sleep.
