Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 635 Task Force Meeting

"it is good."

After hearing the basic facts of the case, Chen Yi sat up from the sofa and replied with one word.

The person who called was not Fang Songping, but the deputy director in charge. After asking about the location of the crime, he hung up the phone.

The task force was established not long ago, and it is estimated that Lu Zhengkai is preparing to gather everyone for a meeting to discuss how to achieve the greatest results in the shortest time.

The task force has 72 hours of golden period to solve the case, so they don’t have time to sleep during these three days.

For such a heinous family-annihilation case, the provincial department has already been considerate by not setting a deadline for solving the case - the main reason is that the impact is not significant for the time being, the news blockade was very successful, and outsiders have no idea what exactly happened in the urban village of Xintou Town.

"what happened?"

Fang Shuyu had just finished taking a shower and saw Chen Yi sitting there in a daze, so she asked.

Chen Yi did not hide anything: "You only need to know it during the confidentiality stage. A family of four was murdered in Xintou. The crime was committed in a cruel way. The provincial department has set up a special task force and hopes that I can join as a consultant."

"Destroy the whole family?" Fang Shuyu's face changed, and he took two quick steps. "Do you have any children?"

Chen Yi paused and nodded: "Yes, the two children are under ten years old."

Fang Shuyu wasn't very good at swearing, but after hearing this, she still blurted out the word "beast".

Chen Yi added: "Except for the only adult male, the other three were raped and murdered."

Fang Shuyu's eyes widened, and it took her several seconds to understand the true meaning of these words. Even as a forensic doctor, she felt that her worldview had been strongly impacted at this moment.

There are such people in the world, but she has never seen them in real life.

"Pedophile?" Fang Shuyu said subconsciously.

Chen Yi hummed, "It should be correct. We need to go to the Municipal Bureau to find out the details. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back during this period. You should go to our parents' place."

Fang Shuyu: "Okay, don't worry about me, just go ahead."

She believed that with Chen Yi around, the chances of solving the case would be much higher, or at least the time could be shortened.

Chen Yi left.

He contacted other members of the special case team, picked them up one by one and headed straight for Xintou Town. He had to see the crime scene. Photos are just photos, and there are some differences between them and reality.

On the way, the special case team was very quiet and no one spoke.

It could be that the incident happened too suddenly, it could be that the nature of the incident was too serious, or it could be that I just felt sorry for the two children.

Xintou Town was soon reached, and six members of the special case team stood in front of the crime scene.

The scene has been sealed off, the investigation has been temporarily ended, and unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering. Violators will be subject to administrative penalties. If they destroy important evidence by entering the scene without permission, they may also be suspected of obstructing public service or destroying evidence, which may lead to criminal penalties.

There are not many people who truly understand the law, but when seeing the seal left by the police, no one with a normal mind would dare to go in.

Chen Yi raised his head slightly, Qin Fei stepped forward and slowly opened the seal, and everyone walked in.

Crossing the yard, Qin Fei opened the seal of the main door again. When the lights came on, the crime scene appeared in his sight.

Chen Yi looked down at the extended half footprint and immediately determined that the murderer was wearing shoe covers when committing the crime.

He even brought shoe covers, and probably gloves as well. This was a premeditated murder of a family, and the murderer had certain anti-detection capabilities - maybe he watched too many TV dramas.

The six people walked around the room, looked at the three scenes, and had a general understanding of the entire crime process.

"What's the name of the man at the door?" Cheng Hanjun asked.

Chen Yi: "Ji Jingfu."

Cheng Hanjun: "Isn't the location and manner of Ji Jingfu's death a bit strange? Judging from the layout of the items in the room, the two sides should have had an intense fight, but the murderer had time to tie up the mother and her two children and assault them."

Qin Fei followed Cheng Hanjun's words and said, "Obviously, the murderer happened to meet Ji Jingfu when he returned home, and killed Ji Jingfu during the fight. He did not come for Ji Jingfu, so we can rule out revenge against Ji Jingfu. The focus of the investigation should first be on Ji Jingfu's wife."

Cheng Hanjun nodded in agreement.

It is not difficult to reconstruct the crime scene. The task force should have reached a preliminary conclusion and may be looking into the information and interpersonal relationships of Ji Jingfu's wife.

"Han Jun, check if there is anything missing. I'll give you an hour, and everyone else can withdraw."

Chen Yi waved and the five people left the room.

Cheng Hanjun, who stayed where he was, carried the survey box into the bedroom. That was where the most traces were expected to be.

In the yard, Chen Yi took out a cigarette and lit it, then looked up at the starry sky and the moon. The sky was cloudless tonight and the night view was very beautiful. Unfortunately, the crime scene behind him made him feel heavy.

Teng Dabin finally couldn't hold it in any longer and cursed, "If I catch this bastard, I will skin him alive! Let's see what kind of monster is inside. Is he heartless?!"

How cold-blooded must one be to harm a child?

Chen Yi didn't say anything, but tried to draw a portrait of the suspect in his mind.

He judged that there were only two possibilities: either the murderer was extremely angry towards Ji Jingfu and his wife, so he wanted to kill them all to eliminate their roots, or the murderer was a pervert who committed the crime randomly.

Before thoroughly investigating Ji Jingfu and his wife, he temporarily tended to the latter.

"Team Leader, can I participate in the autopsy?"

Su Ying had a blank expression under the moonlight, but the coldness she exuded seemed to lower the temperature around her. Obviously, she was very angry at the murderer's actions.

Chen Yi nodded: "Of course, you can go directly to the forensic room when you get to the Municipal Bureau."

A genius forensic doctor certainly won't sit idle, and every additional technical talent may help in case investigation.

This is the first time the special case team has participated in handling an emergency case since its establishment.

Less than an hour later, Cheng Hanjun came out of the room carrying an investigation box, saying that the city bureau's on-site investigation had been done very well and he had no new discoveries for the time being.

The main reason is that the time is a bit short, and detailed on-site survey work cannot be completed in one hour.

"Go to the Municipal Bureau first."

Chen Yi came here this time just to see what the crime scene looked like. How to proceed with the investigation would depend on the results of the preliminary inspection of the body and the scene.

The six of them drove to the Municipal Bureau. It was late, and the only people left in the bureau were the special case team except for the staff on duty. When Chen Yi opened the door of the conference room, Lu Zhengkai was leading everyone to discuss the case.

Zhou Yebin was there too.

With such a big case happening, it was impossible for him, as the deputy director in charge, to go home and sleep.

"Just go to the forensic room and report your identity." After saying this to Su Ying, Chen Yi led the remaining four people into the conference room.

Seeing Chen Yi, everyone except Zhou Yebin stood up quickly, and many police officers from the detachment had surprise on their faces.

Zhou Yebin had just mentioned that Chen Yi might come as a consultant, but he didn't say for sure. Now that Chen Yi has really been seen, it means that he has joined the task force to assist in the investigation.

When the old captain appeared, everyone suddenly felt very close to him.

"Team Chen."

"Team Chen."

"Captain Chen, sit down." Lu Zhengkai gave up his seat.

Chen Yi stopped him: "I'll just sit here."

He randomly found an empty seat, and next to him was Zhou Yebin, which was probably reserved for him.

The head of the task force is the head of the task force. Lu Zhengkai has the decision-making power in this case and his prestige cannot be compromised. As long as there is no mistake, he will not rashly oppose Lu Zhengkai's opinion.

As a consultant, you should act like a consultant and avoid overstepping your authority. Besides, there are no outsiders present, so everyone can just work together. There is only one goal: to solve this tragic case of family annihilation.

Lu Zhengkai did not act pretentiously and continued the meeting after all the special case team members were seated.

"Captain Chen, the autopsy is not over yet." Lu Zhengkai told Chen Yi about the current progress. "Unfortunately, we did not find any unfamiliar fingerprints or biological tissues at the scene. The only trace is that half footprint. Judging from the size, it is definitely a male."

The rape and murder in the beginning and the size of the footprints in the end further confirmed the gender of the suspect.

Chen Yi hummed: "Lu Zhi, please continue, don't be influenced by me."

"Okay." Lu Zhengkai nodded and looked at everyone. "Just now I mentioned to everyone that there is a lack of surveillance around the crime scene. The nearest surveillance point is the national highway. The surveillance videos before and after the victim's death must be carefully checked. The information of all the vehicles that turned from Xintou to the national highway must be obtained.

Don't be lucky. At present, the possibility of us identifying the suspect through evidence is very low. Therefore, investigating the interpersonal relationships of Ji Jingfu and his wife is the top priority, especially those who have grudges against them. Deputy Zhuo and Tang will be responsible for this matter. "

The two nodded.

Lu Zhengkai continued, "Ji Jingfu is from Hongzhong District, Yangcheng. He bought the house where the crime occurred in his early years, but we don't know when he moved in recently. Since Tang Zhi has been investigating the case of buying and selling invoices, we can judge that he hid in Xintou Town to avoid the limelight. As long as there is a little disturbance, he can take his family and leave Yangcheng quickly.

Here is a question. Since Ji Jingfu was hiding in Xintou Town, how did the murderer know about it? Was he familiar with Ji Jingfu? Deputy Zhuo and Tang should not ignore this point. Now it is not ruled out that Ji Jingfu's family was killed. Maybe there is someone who is hiding deeper behind the invoice case and has not been dug out, and this person has met Ji Jingfu's family.

What we are going to do tomorrow is to conduct a comprehensive visit to the urban villages in Xintou Town, gradually expanding the scope from the inside to the outside. Also, Ji Jingfu has a car. Where he has driven to and who he has met are also the focus of our investigation. "

Chen Yi listened carefully and looked at the photos of the scene from time to time.

Although it can be inferred from the crime scene that the murderer was not targeting Ji Jingfu, Lu Zhengkai did not let go of the possibility of revenge. Criminals like Ji Jingfu are very likely to have grudges with others.

As for the situation at the crime scene, Lu Zhengkai said that the suspect and Ji Jingfu did not necessarily bump into each other. The former might have been waiting in the room. He took advantage of Ji Jingfu's absence and arrived at the urban village in advance to kill his wife and children, and then sneak attacked Ji Jingfu who was returning home.

This possibility exists. As long as the cat was nearby on the day of the crime, he could have taken action immediately after Ji Jingfu left and then just sat there and waited for the opportunity.

Of course, the possibilities vary. Lu Zhengkai also said that all the scars on the victim Ji Jingfu were from the front, which reduced the probability of a sneak attack.

This is true. Since they were just waiting for the suspect to come, the injuries on Ji Jingfu's body should not all come from the front. Attacking the suspect from behind would be the safest approach.

In short, no matter how big or small the possibility is, we must investigate it. What if the suspect is so arrogant and likes to show off that he killed Ji Jingfu's wife and children and then sat on the sofa waiting for Ji Jingfu to come back?

When Ji Jingfu opened the door and learned that his entire family had been killed, he would have jumped up and fought desperately with the suspect on the spot, but unfortunately he was no match for him.

Ji Jingfu wanted to be investigated, and so did Ji Jingfu's wife. Lu Zhengkai arranged all the work, and then looked at Chen Yi and Zhou Yebin, wanting to hear any constructive suggestions from Chen Yi.

Chen Yi was still looking at the photos when Zhou Yebin spoke: "The provincial department has called me several times in a row and is taking this case very seriously. This case is of a serious nature and must be solved as soon as possible. From now on, I will be at the municipal bureau 24 hours a day, and everyone should be prepared to work around the clock."

After serving as director for several years, Zhou Yebin is no longer the criminal policeman who was on the front line of criminal investigation in his early years. His role is to organize, supervise and urge.

"Yes! Director Zhou!" The voices were in unison.

Then, Zhou Yebin looked at Chen Yi beside him and said, "Chen Yi, what do you think?"

Chen Yi looked away from the photo and said, "Everyone who has seen the body should have realized that this is the first time the suspect has committed a crime. His method is rather crude and he must have cut the throat four times in a row to complete the murder. This is good news for us. He is not a professional killer.

There is nothing wrong with what Lu Zhi said just now, but Ji Jingfu's two children were violated, which makes me confused. What does Lu Zhi think about this matter? "

Lu Zhengkai said: "The murderer's perversion has deviated from the normal range. He must be a mentally twisted person. If he was seeking revenge, we can guess that the reason for his mental distortion came from Ji Jingfu and his wife."

Chen Yi: "What if it's not for revenge?"

"Not for revenge?" Lu Zhengkai thought for a moment and said, "If it's not for revenge, then the murderer is just a madman who commits crimes randomly. It is possible that he will continue to commit crimes."

When they heard the words "continue to commit crimes", the expressions of everyone in the conference room became visibly solemn. They couldn't help but think that if similar cases continued to occur, it would be a lot of fun.

Once the news gets out, panic will sweep across Yangcheng.

Lu Zhengkai's face didn't look good either. He did not ignore this situation. The case had just happened and everything was possible.

Now that Chen Yi took the initiative to speak out, the atmosphere in the room became very solemn.

"Let's check them at the same time and be cautious." Chen Yi suggested.

Lu Zhengkai nodded: "If this is the case, then the suspect is likely to live in Xintou Town and even often meet with Ji Jingfu's family. Over time, he developed evil thoughts and committed this murder."

He gave additional tasks to the police officers in charge of the visit: pay attention to the more special groups in Xintou Town, residents with strange behaviors, etc., and check the surveillance footage of all nearby health product stores.

"Everyone get busy. The case just happened, everyone should cheer up!" Lu Zhengkai raised his voice.

It is definitely impossible for the task force to sleep, let alone tonight, even tomorrow night is a luxury. At most they can take a nap. As time goes by, clues will only become more and more difficult to find.

Most of the police officers quickly left the meeting room.

What they have to wait for now is the complete autopsy report. If the suspect's DNA can be found between the fingernails of a victim, the task force can really breathe a sigh of relief.
