Chapter 21 Never Give Up
Always remember, there will be reverberations.

——Li Shutong's "Evening Sunshine Collection"

wedge
In the evening, the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Qingquan City Public Security Bureau.

In the large office at this time, the tension and seriousness of the past were gone, replaced by a scene of joy and excitement.It turned out that a major robbery and murder case had just been cracked, and the detachment leader was giving a speech, praising the investigators who had stayed up all night.At the end of his speech, he asked everyone not to rush back to catch up on sleep, and said that he specially ordered takeaway from the big hotel, and he should reward everyone well.

Not long after, the takeaway was delivered, and the detachment leader sent a few young police officers to the gate to pick it up.Soon, the young people came back with large and small bags of fast food boxes, and one of them had a half-sized cardboard box under one arm.While putting down the lunch box in his hand, he shook his arm, casually threw the box on the desk, and immediately rushed to a slightly older police officer opposite and said carelessly: "Just passing by the reception room, the uncle said afternoon The courier company sent a courier, saying it was for the '5' task force of our detachment to receive it, do we have such a task force? What case are we handling?"

"What did you say? Say it again, which group is it for?" The detachment leader who was chatting happily with his subordinates suddenly changed his face when he heard the question, and asked loudly.

"For, for...'5 14' task force."

"Stand aside and don't touch the box."

The detachment leader's face became more serious, and his voice seemed to be split because of nervousness, and he hooked his fingers at a police officer beside him.The other party immediately understood, and took out a pair of white gloves from the drawer and handed them over.The detachment leader put on gloves, approached the cardboard box, took a look at it, picked up the scissors on the table, cut off the tape wrapped around the box, and carefully turned over the lids one by one. The huge box contained only one A silver children's bracelet and a postcard.He picked up the postcard and saw a few bold words "sticky" on it - "I'm back".

On the same night, Tongxin Nursing Home in Qingquan City.

In the event hall, the grandpas and aunts gathered together in twos and threes, some played poker, some played chess, some chatted about idle stories, and of course some watched TV on the sofa. In short, as usual, they enjoyed dinner leisurely later time.

While playing, a piece of local news broadcast on TV attracted most people's attention.Accompanied by a scene from the news scene, the smiling female anchor announced: Three days ago, the suspect in a serious robbery and homicide with a knife occurred in this city, after days of unremitting pursuit by the police, ten minutes ago, Finally fell into the French Open.

Immediately, the atmosphere in the activity hall became lively, and the uncles and aunts talked a lot, some scolded criminals, some praised the police, and some began to tell the inside story of the case from hearsay.In the corner near the wall, there was an old man with white hair, his eyes were fixed on the TV screen, and he looked like he couldn't finish it...

"Hey, Old Wang, do you know the guy who threw the villain on TV just now?" A rich and handsome aunt asked the white-haired man.

"I seem to have seen it somewhere." The uncle said ambiguously.

"It must be the criminal police who catch this kind of villain. Didn't you work in the criminal police team before?" the aunt asked with her nose tight.

"What, criminal police team?" The uncle asked back with a puzzled face.

"Hey, this old man, he's getting more and more confused." The aunt covered her mouth and laughed, and raised her voice, "You're a policeman, why, don't you remember?"

"Oh, is that so?" The uncle rubbed his forehead in embarrassment, smiled silly, and pretended to think of something suddenly, "Oh, yes, I'm a policeman!"

Section [-] Serious Cases Restart
Directorate General of Criminal Investigation, Serious Case Support Department.

Wu Guoqing summoned Gu Feifei and other members of the support team to the meeting room, which showed that he attached great importance to this case. After everyone sat down, combined with the picture displayed on the big screen on the wall, Wu Guoqing personally came to give a briefing on the case:
"At 1995 p.m. on May 5, 14, Li Xiaoxiao, a 3-year-old girl in Huangni District, Qingquan City, Taidong Province, disappeared near the painting interest class. Li Xiaoxiao suffered from mild autism. At that time, her father Li Chengyi Investigator of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Qingquan City, whose mother Ning Xin is the deputy director of the Fengyan Sub-district Police Station in Huangni District. Because Li Xiaoxiao was young and suffered from chronic illnesses, and he was born in a family with two policemen, it is possible that criminals committed crimes against the people's police. For a long time after the incident occurred, it occupied the pages of major newspapers in the city.”

"At 1995:8 p.m. on August 9, 4, Sun Jiaying, a 4-year-old girl in Changshan District, Qingquan City, Taidong Province, disappeared while playing downstairs. At 9:15 a.m. on September 6 of the same year, Sun Jiaying's father found a long A shoebox containing carbonized powder and several small human bones that were not completely burned, and also attached a nude photo of Sun Jiaying's body and a postcard with a paragraph of words cut from newspapers , the content is: 'Return the ashes, please bury them.' On October 10 of the same year, after the police technical appraisal confirmed that the bones belonged to Sun Jiaying, Sun Jiaying's ashes were buried by her family. Two days later, Sun Jiaying's father received a letter, also stating that The text cut out from the newspaper was pasted on the paper. The content of the letter mainly expressed gratitude for Sun Jiaying’s burial, and at the same time there were a few words of comfort. What surprised the police was that the end of the letter mentioned Li Xiaoxiao, the original words are: "Please don't be sad, Sun Jiaying walked happily, just like Li Xiaoxiao." Therefore, the two cases were merged and a special case handling team was established. Because Li Xiaoxiao was identified as the first victim of this case, the This series of cases was named the '12' major case. Of course, this determination has not been confirmed until the end. As for the reason, let's not list it for the time being."

"On October 1995, 10, that is, at 14 p.m. on the day when Sun Jiaying's father received the murderer's letter, Li Lan, a 5-year-old girl in the first grade of primary school on Changchun Road Street, Fengshu District, Qingquan City, Taidong Province, disappeared near the nursery class. Three Two days later, his naked body appeared in a cornfield in the suburbs. The autopsy showed that the crime took place at the second scene, he was strangled to death by a leather object, his feet were missing, and his hymen was ruptured, but no signs of violent sexual assault were found."

"At 1995:12 p.m. on December 20, 4, a 4-year-old girl named Guo Yaoyao in Huangni District, Qingquan City, Taidong Province was separated from her grandmother in the vegetable market and disappeared. Two weeks later, she was found in a public toilet near Dingxing Convenience Park in Huangni District. A naked body with mutilated feet was found, identified as Guo Yaoyao through technical appraisal, also strangled to death by leather objects, her hymen ruptured, and no trace of violent sexual assault was found."

"At 1996:2 p.m. on February 25, 2, near Dingxing Convenience Park, Huangni District, Qingquan City, Taidong Province, a short man was hit by a passing patrol car when he tried to forcefully drag 6-year-old Wang Xiangyi into a car , and was brought under control. Subsequently, the patrol found an imported camera, a box of sterile gloves and a black men's belt in his car. It was reported urgently, and the suspect was quickly taken over by the task force."

"Immediately, the special investigation team found many photos of the girls secretly taken in the negatives of the camera, and found human dander on the belt. The blood type test results were the same as those of the victims of the '5' case, Li Lan, Sun Jiaying and Guo Yaoyao. Match. The special case team immediately sent the inspection materials to the forensic laboratory of the General Administration for further DNA testing, and at the same time launched a detailed search of the suspect’s residence.”

"As a result, in the basement of his residence, not only hundreds of boxes of pornographic video tapes were seized, but also nearly a thousand photos of girls. From the perspective of the situation, they were all secretly taken. The photos contained several groups of photos belonging to Li Xiaoxiao, Li Lan, Sun Jiaying and Guo Yaoyao. Photos. To the extreme anger of the special case team, except for Li Xiaoxiao, the other three girls not only had naked corpse photos, but also recorded all kinds of obscene and indecent actions the suspect made on the three corpses. It was especially appalling. Interestingly, the photos also document the suspect cutting off the victim's feet, cooking them and eating them."

Wu Guoqing explained the ins and outs of the case in one breath, paused, and motioned to his assistant to display the murderer's photo on the big screen, and continued:
"What you are seeing now is the murderer Guan Jun, who was 24 years old at the time of the crime. He suffered from a serious family hereditary disease - ankylosing spondylitis. Guan Jun was born prematurely. The onset symptoms of spondylitis became worse in high school, the spine was severely deformed, and the joints were stiff, which led to hunchback symptoms at a young age, and it was also difficult to walk."

"Guan Jun was born in Lingshui Village, a suburb of Qingquan City. His parents were originally farmers. Later, they made a fortune in construction and became the first family in the village to live in a villa. Later, their parents' business developed to the urban area, and they also bought in Qingquan City. At that time, Guan Jun graduated from high school and failed to enter university. The family originally intended to send him to study abroad, but due to his physical condition, he finally gave up."

"Guan Jun didn't move into the city with his parents, but lived in the country with his grandfather. Because of his poor health and good family conditions, he didn't need to look for a job, so he wandered around all day, doing nothing. Later, he went to take the exam. With a driver's license, I drove the car that my father eliminated, and saved the pocket money my parents gave me, bought a high-end camera, and since then I have been wandering around Qingquan City, secretly taking pictures of girls."

"After Guan Jun arrived at the case, he confessed to the motive of committing the crime: it was because he accidentally saw a picture of a little girl with amputated legs swimming on TV one day, which made him feel an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, and then he became fascinated by the young girl. Little girls, and gradually develop into secretly taking photos, and even abducting girls, murdering and amputating limbs, and molesting corpses."

"In the face of a series of evidence, Guan Jun confessed to his criminal facts and was sentenced to death in the first instance. Later, his family appealed on the grounds that he suffered from schizophrenia and multiple personalities, but after a series of psychiatric judicial appraisals, Several psychiatrists and psychologists determined that he had no mental problems, that his personality had undergone fission, and that he had full criminal responsibility, so the second trial finally announced that the judgment of the first trial would be upheld."

"Although the case ended with Guan Jun being sentenced to death, there are actually quite a lot of doubts left. Guan Jun refused to apologize to the victim's family throughout the trial. Repeating this sentence - 'I think I do everything right, because if I do wrong, he will stop me'. This sentence is not well understood by everyone, so when this detail spreads to In the society, rumors that "Guan Jun has an accomplice or a criminal mentor" are rampant. Therefore, the special investigation team deliberately sorted out Guan Jun's social relations, and found that he has no friends at all in his life, and he has the closest relationship with him. His grandfather also passed away due to illness in March of the year when the incident occurred, so the accomplice’s talk is limited to rumors.”

"The bigger suspense is the case of Li Xiaoxiao's disappearance. The confession of Li Xiaoxiao in Guan Jun's entire confession is extremely vague, and no evidence related to Li Xiaoxiao was found at the crime scene identified. How did Li Xiaoxiao die? How did he deal with the body? In the end, he didn’t say anything. So although he always insisted that Li Xiaoxiao was murdered by him, due to insufficient evidence, the court finally pronounced on his crime and did not The case of Li Xiaoxiao's disappearance is not included, so this case has become a backlog, which is still unsolved until now."

Wu Guoqing stopped talking again, let himself breathe, and gave the support team some time to digest the case.After a while, two pieces of evidence were displayed on the big screen, namely a silver children's bracelet and a postcard with the words "I'm back", and then Wu Guoqing opened the chatter box again:

"After talking about the past, it's time to talk about the present. A week ago, the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Qingquan City received a courier containing the two things you saw on the screen. When Li Xiaoxiao disappeared, there was a Wearing the same silver bracelet as in the courier. The Qingquan police conducted a test, and no fingerprints were extracted from it, but DNA evidence belonging to Li Xiaoxiao was collected. Everyone knows the reason. Fingerprints can be erased, but DNA evidence is easy. It can't be erased. So here comes the question, is this from the murderer who abducted Li Xiaoxiao back then?"

"Next, let's talk about the postcard. The texture and pattern are the same as the postcard received by Sun Jiaying's father. The technical appraisal shows that the year of manufacture is also the same. The method of leaving a message is also to cut the text from the newspaper and paste it on the postcard. More importantly, due to the extremely bad nature and involving the privacy of several minors, the series of cases were not tried publicly that year, and the media did not dig into the details through any channels. Then the problem came again , who can so accurately restore the method of using postcards to convey information? How did this person get the postcards that were sold more than 20 years ago? Who would provoke the police in the same way as Guan Jun?"

"After combining several issues before and after, the Qingquan police had to face up to a problem: Guan Jun may have a criminal mentor, and it was this mentor who killed Li Xiaoxiao and then guided Guan Jun to commit crimes later. Such a statement shows that the Qingquan police still had considerable deficiencies in their investigation of Guan Jun’s crimes, which should be regarded as a mistake. What makes the Qingquan police even more passive now is that the news spread like wildfire, and rumors spread everywhere in the society , the entire Qingquan City is discussing this topic. Coupled with the media's fueling and the astonishing speed of information dissemination in today's Internet age, the '5·14' case and the incident of the Qingquan police receiving a courier quickly became Including hot topics on social platforms such as Weibo, in fact, it has now attracted the attention of people across the country."

"Okay, now that I've introduced so much, let me talk about the meaning of the General Administration. Of course, you may have seen topics about this case on Weibo in recent days, so I think you should be mentally prepared now. Let's ignore it What is the truth behind the express delivery incident? The General Bureau believes that this is an opportunity, especially the successful cracking of the Baiyin serial murder case in Gansu Province, which gave us a lot of confidence in the entire Criminal Investigation Bureau. A series of long-standing unsolved cases such as the Miemen massacre and Li Xiaoxiao’s disappearance. Right now, we will use this opportunity to restart the investigation of Li Xiaoxiao’s disappearance. The bureau has specially designated your team to handle this case..."

A police academy in the north, the Department of Criminal Psychology.

Outside the window, the sky was a bit cloudy, and it looked like it was going to snow soon. Counting the days, it should be snowing. In previous years, there had been snowflakes a month earlier.The weather in the north is dry and cold most of the time. The north wind is like a knife.

Time flies so fast, and half a month later, the year will turn over again. Han Yin's mood at this time is like this weather, half of which is melancholy at the relentless flow of time, and half of it is hope for a new year.Of course, looking back on the past year, the harvest is quite big.

Applied criminal psychology is gradually being accepted by criminal investigation departments around the world, and the role of this discipline can be seen in many cases, such as behavioral scientific analysis, criminal psychological profiling, criminal psychological portraits, criminal geographical portraits, etc., these criminal psychology applications More and more nouns appear in news newspapers and in literature, film and television works, which have played a very favorable role in promoting the development and practice of this subject.

The future social development will inevitably be diversified, and it will inevitably bring various conflicts and interests to people's psychology.Especially for the increasingly powerful Chinese society, various hostile forces try to exacerbate class conflicts and social conflicts through the infiltration and brainwashing of finance, culture, the Internet, and religion, in order to disrupt China's economic development and social stability. Therefore, future In terms of crime, there are two trends that need to be paid close attention to: one is elite crimes with paranoid thinking; the other is youth crimes that are easy to be brainwashed and seduced.

Therefore, Hanyin hopes to have more talents and students to join this discipline to deal with the complex and diverse crime situation in the future. Through behavior analysis and crime profiling, early detection of crime signs, early prevention of crime development, and normalization of abnormal psychology The resulting crime was stifled in the early stages.

By the way, the most gratifying thing for Han Yin this year is the successful solution of the Baiyin series of homicides in Gansu after nearly 30 years.Although this is mainly due to the scientific genetic identification technology, it is a great honor for every practitioner in the public security front who maintains the stability of national laws and social security.

As for Han Yin's personal life, it can only be described as calm.Both he and Gu Feifei are too busy and live in different cities, so they can only have a short time together by handling cases.Of course, the two have common pursuits and beliefs, and they also have the same understanding of this relationship, so time and space are not a problem. Han Yin is very confident that this relationship will last for a long time.

Because of the weather outside, Han Yin suddenly felt a lot of emotion in his heart.In the end, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He had his class today, and the time was almost up. He hurriedly packed up his laptop and put it in his bag.Just as he was about to get up, the phone on the table rang. He glanced at the screen, and the caller ID showed Gu Feifei's number...

Chapter [-] Pain and forgetting
After meeting with Gu Feifei and others, Han Yin first listened to the Qingquan police's introduction of the progress of the case according to the usual practice.

"Actually, there is no progress. Tracking down the source of the courier is as expected. It is a dead end. The courier just received a call and went to the designated place to pick up the courier. He didn't see the sender at all. The mobile phone number of the other party is also a temporary number. , There is no way to track it down, only one thing is clear, the caller is a man." Zhang Zhendong, the leader of the detachment, is in his 50s, of medium height, with a head close to a bald head, and looks particularly capable.After talking about the situation at hand in a few words, I felt a little embarrassed. Anyway, I have worked as a criminal police officer for nearly 30 years, and I rarely encounter the current case, so I have no way to start.Therefore, facing a group of young people who were far behind in age and qualifications, he had to lower his posture and said in an extremely polite tone: "You are experts and leaders sent by the General Administration. What do you say about this case?" Let’s do whatever we want, and I will fully cooperate.”

"Since the courier specified that the '5' task force should receive it, and the content of the courier shows that it is related to the disappearance of Li Xiaoxiao and the major '14' case, let's start with two aspects..." Gu Feifei After exchanging glances with Han Yin, the two had already discussed the entry point for handling the case, so Zhang Zhendong intentionally gave the initiative to the support team, and Gu Feifei continued unceremoniously, "We need to reorganize the case with the '5 All information related to the 14' major case, and hope to communicate with Li Xiaoxiao's family."

"It's no problem to read the information." Zhang Zhendong smacked his lips and said, "But it's difficult for the family members."

"Aren't the parents of the child both policemen? They should be willing to cooperate with us, right? Why, they don't work as policemen anymore? Lost contact?" Du Yingxiong asked a series of questions.

"On the contrary, because I have been in contact with them too much, their family matters are a long story." Zhang Zhendong shook his head and sighed deeply, "It is unfortunate that Li Chengyi and Ning Xin only had Xiaoxiao in their early 40s." The child suffers from autism, so the couple, including the elderly on both sides, love the child very much. The day of the accident was Sunday, and Ning Xin was on a business trip, and Lao Li took the child to an art interest class. Halfway through the class, Lao Li received Paging, said that there was an urgent task, and asked him to return to the team immediately. He figured it out and asked the grandparents of the child to pick up the child from class for him. There should be enough time, so he called home. After he finished the call, he rushed to the team , the two elderly people also came out from home to pick up the child, but who knew that the traffic jam on the road was a little late, and the child disappeared after only 5 minutes. Afterwards, first the grandparents complained that Lao Li's family did not take good care of the child; then the grandpa The grandma complained to the daughter-in-law, saying that the child had this disease and said that the couple could not both be busy, and one of them had to resign to take care of the child. He vented his anger on Lao Li, saying how the task could be more important than the children; Lao Li in turn blamed his parents, saying that he asked the two of you to take a taxi, but he was reluctant to pay for the bus, which ended up wasting time. In short, the whole family took a taxi every day. Confused, complaining to each other, and regretting each other, and finally fell apart. Lao Li and his wife left; grandparents blamed themselves for not being able to stay in Qingquan, and moved to their daughter's house in another place; Li is like an enemy, and has never been in touch with each other since then. What is more tragic is that three years after the child's accident, Ning Xin died suddenly at work due to overwork; Suffering from silent illness, gradually I can't remember anything, I don't even know us old comrades in arms, and I don't have any relatives to take care of me, so I can only live in a nursing home."

"It's really too miserable." Ai Xiaomei sniffed and said with a choked voice.

"Hey, I can only say that I feel sorry for the parents of the world! Maybe only by ruining their own lives can they feel less guilty about their children." Han Yin also sighed, and then changed the subject, "We still want to see Li Chengyi."

"No problem, you can go at any time, even now." Zhang Zhendong said simply.

"Well, let's go now." Han Yin said.

Concentric Nursing Home.

When Zhang Zhendong walked in with Han Yin and Gu Feifei, Li Chengyi was sitting on the head of the bed looking out the window, attracted by something, pursing his lips and looking at it with gusto.Hearing the noise, he turned his head and smiled at the three of them, then continued to look out the window as if it had nothing to do with him.The little nurse accompanying him walked over and patted him on the shoulder, telling him that someone had come to see him, and then he turned around and looked at the three of them with a silly smile on his face.

Zhang Zhendong also walked over, put the fruit in his hand on the bedside table, then held his hand, and asked affectionately, "Lao Li, do you recognize me?"

Seeing that Li Chengyi was still smiling dumbly, the little nurse joked as if treating a child: "Uncle Li is cunning now, he knows that he has a bad memory, and he is afraid of making people laugh, so he waits for others to reveal his identity first, right, Uncle Li ?”

Everyone was amused, the little nurse came out of the room with a smile on her face, and Han Yin followed her, and politely called her: "Miss Nurse, please wait a moment, can I have a chat with you?"

"Oh, you said." The little nurse stopped.

"How is Uncle Li's behavior recently? Has there been any abnormal behavior?" Han Yin asked.

"No, the uncle has always been very good. He used to be a policeman, and it is said that he also served as a soldier. He has always made the bed in order by himself, so we don't need to worry about it. He is also very kind, and he can usually help with the things in the yard. Flowers and grasses, it's just that his head is not working well, and our nurses like him very much," said the little nurse.

"Then he has been like this, can't remember anything?" Han Yin pointed to his forehead and said.

"That's not true. The uncle has been here for two or three years. He was not so confused at first, and he can still remember things. It has been almost a year, and he is completely unrecognizable at the beginning. Alas, there is no cure for this disease, and the treatment is the same in the end. The little nurse shook her head and said regretfully.

"Have you seen this at Uncle Li's place?" Han Yin showed a photo.

"I've seen it before, the uncle was very precious before he was confused. I remember it was stored in a small box, and he often took it out to look at it." The little nurse recognized the bracelet in the photo and said.

Back in Li Chengyi's room again, after talking with the little nurse, Han Yin winked at Gu Feifei, who understood, and suggested that Zhang Zhendong take Li Chengyi for a walk in the yard.Although Zhang Zhendong didn't know it, he knew that the two wanted to send Li Chengyi out of the room, and he guessed it was related to the case, so he did so.

Zhang Zhendong and Li Chengyi went out, Han Yin hurriedly closed the door behind him, and hurriedly said to Gu Feifei: "The nurse confirmed that Li Chengyi still has a silver bracelet in his hand, which is said to be in a small jewelry box."

"Do you suspect that Li Chengyi directed and acted himself?"

"I hope that's not the case. Let's look for the bracelet first."

Gu Feifei and Han Yin are now getting more and more tacit understanding. From Han Yin's insistence on seeing Li Chengyi, to his asking the little nurse for questioning, and then turning back to wink at her, she probably understood Han Yin's train of thought in her heart—no It's hard to imagine that the child's silver bracelets must be a pair, and Li Xiaoxiao only wore one when he disappeared, so where is the other?Could it be this other one that was delivered to the detachment?Li Xiaoxiao must have worn both bracelets, so it is not surprising that his DNA evidence was extracted from them. Could it be that Li Chengyi couriered the bracelet to the detachment to prompt the case to be reopened?
The room furnishings in the nursing home are very simple. Li Chengyi lived in a single room with only one bed, one bedside table, and one big wardrobe, so Han Yin and Gu Feifei quickly searched through it all, and then rummaged through it again. Pillows, beds, and jewelry boxes were not found.Unwilling to give up, Han Yin knelt down on one knee and lifted the sheet that was about to fall to the ground. After looking under the bed, he saw a large blue suitcase.

Han Yin greeted Gu Feifei, and the two dragged the box out from under the bed together.Fortunately, the box was not locked, and there were some diaries, folders, file bags neatly stacked inside... Of course, there was also a small jewelry box, but after opening it, it was empty.

"The bracelet really disappeared." Han Yin shook the empty box in front of Gu Feifei's eyes.

"These are photocopies and case notes related to the '5' major case. It seems that Li Chengyi has been studying this case for so many years." Gu Feifei flipped through the diary and folders and said.

"Is there anything like a postcard?" Han Yin asked.

"I haven't seen it yet." Gu Feifei carefully rummaged through the box again, opened several file bags and checked it again, then bowed her head for a while to consider before continuing, "I don't think the bracelet is missing. What's the problem, maybe Li Chengyi lost it. According to my observation, his Alzheimer's disease has indeed developed to a very serious level. Have you noticed that he has been laughing foolishly, that is actually an extreme degeneration of the brain, The appearance of losing self-control."

"You mean that Li Chengyi no longer has the ability to plan express delivery?" Han Yin continued.

"That's right, but it doesn't mean that your idea is completely impossible. Maybe it's the people around Li Chengyi who 'draw their swords to help'?" Gu Feifei didn't seem to want to deny Han Yin's suspicion completely, so she hesitated for a while, and then Say, "The question is, even if we now know where the bracelet came from, where do we get the postcard?"

"Yes, this is indeed a problem." Han Yin nodded, put the jewelry box back into the box, and said, "Anyway, first check with the people around Li Chengyi."

……

When the three walked out of the gate of the nursing home, it was already dark, and the dim light was scattered in the yard through the windows. Standing under the light, Li Chengyi reluctantly watched the three get into the car and leave, even though he didn't know who they were.While driving the car, Zhang Zhendong kept sighing: "I don't know if it's luck or misfortune, maybe for Lao Li, getting that kind of disease is a kind of relief instead!"

At about the same time that Han Yin and the others arrived at the nursing home, Du Yingxiong and Ai Xiaomei, accompanied by a colleague from the detachment, met Guan Jun's father, Guan Haobo.In fact, Guan Haobo is not difficult to find. The courier incident has become a hot topic, and the "5" case has been reinterpreted. How could the father who was the murderer of the year not know?Back then, Guan Haobo never believed that his son was a perverted murderer. This time, he seemed to have found a clue. A few days ago, he went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau and made a fool of himself, claiming that he would sue the Municipal Bureau, saying that the criminal police had arrested the wrong person. The son is a scapegoat...

Of course, Du Yingxiong and Ai Xiaomei's trip had nothing to do with his troubles. They mainly followed Han Yin's instructions and wanted to learn from Guan Haobo about the relationship between Guan Jun and his grandfather...

Section [-] Missing Reappearance
The next day, the case analysis meeting.

There were many people attending this meeting. Apart from the support team, most of the backbone of the Criminal Investigation Detachment were present. This was what Zhang Zhendong meant.In fact, there are great differences within the detachment regarding the investigation of the courier incident and whether the case of Li Xiaoxiao’s disappearance will be restarted. Zhang Zhendong wants to take this opportunity of this meeting to unify the detachment’s case-handling thinking through the support team’s review of the case.

Looking around, he saw that almost everyone had arrived, so Zhang Zhendong asked everyone to calm down, and then nodded to Gu Feifei, signaling that the meeting could begin.In fact, as the person in charge assigned by the General Administration to support the handling of the case, Gu Feifei should politely say a few words at this time, get in touch with the local colleagues, and lay the foundation for the next cooperation in handling the case.The point is that she doesn't know it at all, so she raised her hand at Han Yinyang and gave him the right to speak.Of course, the two had already communicated before the meeting. After an overnight comprehensive analysis and analysis of the "5" major case, Han and India have already reached a relatively clear conclusion.

"Let's talk about Guan Jun first." Han Yin smiled at the crowd, and said unhurriedly, "Everyone knows that Guan Jun has been tortured by illness since he was a child, and it is difficult to maintain normal self-esteem. He is easily regarded as an outlier among children. , whether it is subjective or objective factors, the direct result is that he gradually loses the ability to make friends. We asked his parents and confirmed that he basically had no friends during his schooling. In fact, he has communication and communication like many children needs, as well as the need to communicate with the opposite sex and release sexual desire after adulthood. But as I just said, he has no ability to communicate with people of the same age group, and he is also very aware of his appearance and physical condition, so he cannot attract the adult opposite sex. So he turned his attention to younger girls who were easy to control. That's why he became a pedophile in the first place. Of course, the pornographic tape also played a role in fueling the flames."

"If sexual desire is the instinct of human beings, then crime is obviously not. And why did Guan Jun degenerate from a sensual maniac to a sensual murderer? This is about his relationship with his grandfather. According to his father: because his parents are busy with business Because of this, Guan Jun was taken care of by his grandfather since he was a child. Although his grandfather is just an old man in the countryside, he went to school, has a certain culture, and is very cheerful. It can be said that because of his grandfather's company and care, Guan Jun grew up. The reaction to the psychological frustration experience in the process is not so intense. From a psychological level, if Guan Jun is a person with a disabled leg, then grandpa is the crutch that supports him to stand. It is conceivable that grandpa His death completely broke the precarious balance in his heart. More than two months later, a girl named Li Xiaoxiao disappeared in this city. The newspapers were full of follow-up reports, and missing person notices were plastered all over the street. The alley became a sensational event. Guan Jun suddenly discovered that Li Xiaoxiao had been recorded by his own camera, which made him feel that Li Xiaoxiao’s disappearance had something to do with him. What’s more terrible is , This kind of fantasy gave him pleasure—the frustration of being abandoned by life and being rejected by the opposite sex disappeared in an instant. He was fascinated by it, so he almost started the journey of seeking evil again and again.”

"As for the motive of Guan Jun's confession back then, it is actually the same nonsense as Gao Chengyong, the perpetrator of the Baiyin case, who confessed that the first homicide was a theft and was broken. Keeping a small secret with a great sense of accomplishment, or when they think that telling the truth will lower their self-esteem, they will weave a logical lie to cover it up. Therefore, Guan Jun cut off the victim's feet and ate them , which is essentially a psychological reflection of his inability to walk normally due to his sick legs, and has nothing to do with any TV plot."

"Okay, all of you here are experienced criminal police officers, you should understand what I mean. I just analyzed Guan Jun's personality transformation process, the causes of pedophilia and the psychological motives of serial murders for you. The purpose is to explain One conclusion: Guan Jun is undoubtedly the murderer of the other three girls except Li Xiaoxiao. Li Xiaoxiao's disappearance has nothing to do with him, and the so-called accomplices and criminal mentors don't exist at all. You don't need to disperse any more You don’t have to pay attention to Guan Jun’s case, you can completely concentrate on the investigation of Li Xiaoxiao’s disappearance.”

"In addition, my conclusion just now also pointed out that the instigator of the courier incident did not have a thorough understanding of the '5' case. He sent the bracelet and the postcard together, which shows that he also confused Guan Jun with the postcard. Li Xiaoxiao’s disappearance. I dare not say how he got the bracelet and postcard, but I dare to believe that the purpose is to prompt the restart of Li Xiaoxiao’s disappearance.”

Han Yin stopped the conversation at the right time. The support team is a team, and he can't let him talk alone. He first clarified the way of handling the case. Of course, the specific action plan must be announced by the leader.Gu Feifei went on to say: "First of all, regarding the re-investigation of the case of Li Xiaoxiao's disappearance, we think we should start from the following directions: [-]. Try to find the few people who had contact with Li Xiaoxiao in the past as much as possible, and start over again. Do a more in-depth interrogation; second, we can assist your bureau to conduct DNA comparisons of unnamed corpses nationwide who are similar to the age of Li Xiaoxiao when he disappeared; third, we feel that we should pay special attention to the direction of child abduction and sort out in depth For child abduction cases related to this city, regardless of the perpetrator or the victim, as long as it is related to this city, it must be carefully investigated. As for the time span, the investigation can start from a few years before and after the incident and gradually expand."

"Secondly, regarding the express delivery incident, we have two directions: first, investigate the people who have contact with the most direct beneficiary, Li Chengyi; second, we feel that the leak of the news may be premeditated, and it is necessary to trace its source. In view of the fact that the above investigation may involve your bureau, I suggest that our support team take full responsibility for this case."

……

As before, Gu Feifei absolutely believed in Han Yin's analysis, and Han Yin was also full of confidence in herself, but this time they were quickly "slapped in the face".

On the night of the analysis meeting, a citizen went to the police station to call the police, claiming that his daughter, who was in the second grade of elementary school, was missing.The case was quickly transferred to the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and the leaders of the bureau also attached great importance to it, especially at this sensitive point, no one could tell whether it was abducted by human traffickers or related to the courier incident.

The missing little girl is named Qin Li, 7 years old this year, with a docile personality, small and pretty, and studied at Mingfeng Primary School in Fengshu District, Qingquan City before she disappeared.Usually the child is picked up by the teacher of the nursery class after school in the afternoon, but today she was left by the teacher for 20 minutes because she did not write the new words well. The teacher of the nursery class did not see her coming out, so she led the other children back first.The school teacher thought that the teacher in the nursery class would wait for her at the door, so she didn't care, and let her go after writing the new words.As a result, because of the 20-minute time difference, the child could not be found.

The surveillance video at the school gate showed that Qin Li walked out of the school gate, walked directly across the road, and then walked westward.Qin Li's figure last appeared in the surveillance at a T-junction with traffic lights 80 meters west of the school at 4:29 pm.Immediately afterwards, she turned into Yutian Street, the north-facing street. The nursery class opened on the side of this street, more than 200 meters away from the intersection, but there was still a small intersection in the middle.

Usually, the nursery class was held until 6:[-] in the evening. When the parents picked up the child, they did not receive it. They called the class teacher again, only to realize that the child was missing, and rushed to the police station to report the case.In this way, there is a time difference of more than two hours from when the child enters Yutian Street to when the parents report the crime, which is enough for the criminal to take countermeasures, and the situation for the police is very passive.

Although the reason for the child's disappearance is still unclear, time is life at this time. All police officers at all levels were mobilized to visit the houses around Yutian Street. Even if it caused disturbance and inconvenience to the citizens at night, it was really forced by the situation; The joint traffic police and PTU (Mobile Unit) intercepted and set up barriers to check passing vehicles on all traffic arteries in the city, and urgently retrieved surveillance videos at intersections around Yutian Street to identify suspected vehicles passing by before and after the incident; in addition, long-distance passenger transportation Stations, railway stations, docks, etc., conduct in-depth searches and inspections...

In the middle of the night, the operation command center received news from the front that a witness was found during a home visit.It is a 70-year-old grandmother. According to her, at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when she went home to buy vegetables and walked to the intersection (the intersection in the middle of Yutian Street), she saw a little girl lying on the ground. A car was parked, and then the driver got out of the car and carried the little girl into the car, and the car drove away.The old lady was old, had a bad memory, and suffered from eye disease. Although she said that there was probably such a thing, she couldn't tell what the child and the driver looked like, and only vaguely said that the car seemed to be white.What's more terrible is that she is also very vague about which direction the car is coming from and which direction it is driving away, sometimes east, sometimes west... Anyway, it has mentioned all the things.

Based on this, we can speculate on the nature of the case: Could it be that Qin Li was hit by a car, and the car owner was worried about compensation and took the injured Qin Li away?In view of this, the focus of the investigation is to find the small cars that haunted the intersections around Yutian Street at the time of the incident.The problem is that it is not easy to check. There are open residential areas nearby, and the traffic extends in all directions, and no one cares about the signage of one-way and two-way roads. There are surveillance videos at the intersections with traffic lights, and many other entrances and exits are surveillance blind spots.Of course, we can only start with the surveillance video at the moment. Considering the eyesight of the witnesses, the leaders of the city bureau specially instructed: Don’t limit yourself to white cars, and don’t let light-colored vehicles such as silver and gray be ignored; Look for potential witnesses.In addition, contact the major hospitals to ask if there are any girls injured in car accidents...

Section [-] Secret Video
In the early morning, snowflakes floated in the sky. This was also the first snow in Qingquan City this winter. Although the amount of snow was not too large, it only covered the surface of the earth lightly, but it was enough to make the whole city feel refreshed.

Such weather is also a kind of enjoyment for morning runners. When the genius is slightly bright, people start running in the square one after another.At this time, a young man wearing a brand-name sportswear, with earphones plugged in his ears, ran past the pool on one side of the square with vigorous steps.In a daze, he glanced into the pool, then stopped. "How could there be a big black bag, wouldn't there be broken corpses in it? Haha..." A thought with some evil taste appeared in his mind, he stepped back a few steps, tilted his body and took a serious look into the pool, and immediately He sat on the ground with one buttocks, and then ran away crying and screaming... "Oh my god, there is a hand in the pool..."

The white and quiet morning was broken by a piercing siren. Earlier, the 110 alarm center received a call from a citizen, claiming that a dismembered body was found during a morning jog in Wanzhong Square.

Wanzhong Plaza is built against the mountain, with an area about the size of a football field. It was built by Wanzhong Street to facilitate the activities and fitness of residents in the nearby communities.There is a high stage on the west side of the square, and there is a small artificial lake at the foot of the mountain behind the stage, and a bluestone path in the middle separates the stage from the artificial lake.It is winter now, and the lake has been frozen. On the lake near the side of the path, there is a large black garbage bag lying open, with a white arm exposed...

Soon, the surrounding area was cordoned off by the police from the police station who arrived first, and the criminal investigation detachment and support team also rushed to the scene.After taking various photos of the evidence, the forensic doctor and the trace inspector carefully worked together to lift the black garbage bag from the lake to the stretcher on the shore.Gu Feifei walked over, gently opened the pocket, and for a moment, with a sad face, nodded to Han Yin and others not far away.

"It should be that little girl. Her clothes were stripped off and her feet were amputated." Gu Feifei walked back, took off her white gloves, and said softly.

"What? Both feet were cut off?" Zhang Zhendong looked surprised and couldn't help raising his voice, "Young girl, naked corpse, cutting off both feet, isn't this the same method as the '5' case?"

"The feet are not in the bag?" Ai Xiaomei also asked with an expression of disbelief.

"Yes." Gu Feifei nodded reluctantly.

"The reporter's name is Han Dahai, who works in the Water Conservancy Bureau and lives nearby. He came for a run in the morning, and when he passed by the lake, he found a black bag with an arm exposed. He took it for granted that he had encountered a corpse case, and called the police. " Du Yingxiong walked over after recording the reporter's statement, but soon found that the atmosphere was not right, except for Han Yin who always had a calm expression on his face, the other three people were more serious than the other, so they asked tentatively, "Why? , isn't it Qin Li?"

"It's her, that's right." Zhang Zhendong nodded, and then added, "The informant is right, the body was basically mutilated, and both feet were cut off."

Hearing Zhang Zhendong's words, Du Yingxiong immediately understood why everyone had such expressions. To put it bluntly, once this case came out, it was equivalent to directly overturning the conclusions of the support team at the analysis meeting. possible.Maybe the courier was sent by the person who abducted Li Xiaoxiao back then to provoke the police, maybe he is indeed Guan Jun's criminal mentor, or maybe even, as the rumors say, Guan Jun is a scapegoat.In the final analysis, right now I have to consider that Qin Li's murder may be related to the "5" case.

Du Yingxiong meditated in his heart for a while, then raised his head to look at Han Yin who was silently examining the scene without saying a word, and couldn't help but want to defend him: "The '5 14' case is so hot now, the details of the case are basic. They were all dug out by the media, and it is possible to imitate the crime. The driver hit Qin Li, murdered her to avoid compensation, and tried to divert the attention of the police from investigating the case by imitating popular cases. Does this logic make sense?"

"Don't jump to conclusions, wait for the results of forensic and trace identification, and then make further determinations." Han Yin said in the same calm tone as before.

"Yes, yes, then you go back first, and combine the previous analysis with the current case to make a comprehensive analysis to see if it is necessary to adjust the task deployment. I will ask the brothers to work more on the periphery and collect Surveillance videos around, and see if we can find potential witnesses when the murderer dumped the body." After all, Zhang Zhendong is old and has spent half his life in official career. A little bit of doubt on the previous conclusions, the sense of propriety in speaking can be said to be quite good.

On the way back, Du Yingxiong drove, Ai Xiaomei sat next to him, and Han Yin sat in the back seat. Knowing that Han Yin wanted to know the autopsy results immediately, Gu Feifei followed the forensic doctor's car.

The people in the car were all her own people, so she spoke more casually. Ai Xiaomei frowned slightly and said, "I'm passive this time. Could it be that this case is really related to the '5' case? Next What should we do, Teacher Han?"

"The corpse can be thrown on the mountain, but it is for everyone to see. Why do you think?" Han Yin asked with a meaningful smile.

"Then you mean that you think the hero is right?" Ai Xiaomei looked at Du Yingxiong and said tentatively.

"Are the dossiers of the '5' case still there? Haven't they been returned?" Han Yin asked rhetorically.

"No, it's not too late, you still want to do a full review?" Ai Xiaomei said.

"For the sake of caution, it should be done. Anyway, we have to wait for the results of the autopsy and trace examination." Han Yin thought for a while, and then said, "Which step has the express delivery been investigated?"

"I went to the nursing home to check the meeting records, and also checked the surveillance video for nearly a month. I didn't find any special person in contact with Li Chengyi. No one visited him for a long time before the delivery incident, except for those uncles in the nursing home. Auntie, those little nurses are the ones he has the most contact with. I have also read their information, and they are not related to Li Chengyi, so they should not do this kind of thing for him." Ai Xiaomei said.

"Go deeper, get in touch with the nurses head-on, and talk to them one by one." Han Yin patted the front driver's seat and motioned, "Xiao Du, after finishing the review of the '5' case, you To support Xiaomei, let's do both, and at the same time check whether the news was leaked by an insider, or someone released it premeditatedly."

"clear."

Du Yingxiong and Ai Xiaomi said in unison.

Back in the detachment, Han Yin and Du Yingxiong began to divide the work. Han Yin was in charge of reviewing the written materials of the "5" case, and Du Yingxiong and Ai Xiaomei were in charge of video materials.

When it was almost noon, the two of them returned from the imaging room to the temporary office of the support team, and they didn't talk much, groping among the stack of sub-dossiers.Soon, Du Yingxiong took out a dossier and put it on the table to flip through it, his eyes swept from top to bottom, and his fingers moved on the dossier paper, as if he was checking something.Seeing the posture of the two of them, it was obvious that Han Yin found something suspicious. Han Yin put down the documents in his hand, took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and put them on the table, watching them silently, waiting for the result.

Sure enough, after a while, Du Yingxiong seemed to confirm the doubt in his heart, put down the file and met Ai Xiaomei's eyes, and said seriously: "There is a problem with the interrogation video, it should be that a video tape is missing."

"How do you see it?" Han Yin asked.

"The dossier shows that Guan Jun didn't cooperate at the beginning after he arrived at the case. He persisted for two or three days. The problem is that the third day was missing from the interrogation video provided by Li Chengyi and the others. But from the fourth day onwards, Guan Jun continued to interrogate. When we explain the facts of the crime, will there be any ulterior tricks?" Ai Xiaomei explained.

"Will there be any other tasks delayed that day?" Han Yin asked.

"No, Guan Jun was interrogated as scheduled that day." Du Yingxiong extended his arm and handed the file to Han Yin, and continued, "There is an interrogation record on it."

"It seems that someone took the video tape away on purpose." Han Yin looked at the file and muttered, "What are you trying to cover up?"

"Could it be a move? Think about today's case, don't be fooled by the rumors, Guan Jun was beaten into a trick back then." Du Yingxiong gasped, and said with a wink.

"You can't talk nonsense like this." Han Yin put his index finger on his mouth, made a "shh" gesture, and then said cautiously, "You have to know that Su Dewei, the current leader of the Qingquan Municipal Bureau, was As the head of the detachment, he served as the leader of the special case team; Zhang Zhendong was the leader of the major case team at the time, and served as the deputy leader of the special case team. These two people were not only the core of the special case team back then, but also the most core figures in the Qingquan City Public Security Bureau. If these two people have problems in that case, the subsequent negative impact will be immeasurable!"

"Then what to do, Qin Li's case is in front of us, we have to have an explanation." Ai Xiaomei shook her head with a helpless expression, "We can't make a judgment if we don't clarify the missing interrogation tape! "

"Yes, the time is too tight," Han Yin pondered for a while, then clenched his fist and tapped the table lightly, "You are right, there must be a result to this issue. Zhang Zhendong is probably still at the scene, and he should be able to come back." Come to us, just tell him about it directly, and try his reaction."

"That's the only way to go." Du Yingxiong pouted.

At noon, Ai Xiaomei went to the cafeteria to grab a meal and came back. Several people were eating when Zhang Zhendong walked in with a chill on his body.Sure enough, as Han Yin said, he went straight to the support team as soon as he came back.

Han Yin asked him if he had eaten lunch, and if Xiaomei would buy him a copy, Zhang Zhendong waved his hand and said that he had eaten outside, and Du Yingxiong moved a chair for him to sit down with insight.

"How is it? Is there any gain from the outside visit?" Han Yin hurriedly finished the last two mouthfuls of food, took a piece of paper from the paper box on the table to wipe his mouth, and then asked.

"Here, that's all." Zhang Zhendong took out a stack of photos from his handbag and put them on the table. There are relatively few cameras, and I think the murderer is also deliberately avoiding the side road intersection with surveillance, but there is still a surveillance camera at the entrance of a small shop that captured him."

The photo is a screenshot from a surveillance video, showing that the time is 3:10 in the morning, and it shows a person riding on a bicycle, wearing a big padded jacket, a padded jacket hat on his head, and a black mask on his face. The whole person is so tightly wrapped that it is impossible to recognize.There was a large black garbage bag on the back seat of the bicycle. If nothing else happened, it should contain Qin Li's body.

"This guy is too cunning. He throws his body on a bicycle and walks on small paths. Even if he is caught by surveillance, he is not as easy to find as a car." Seeing the photos, Ai Xiaomi said angrily.

"But it also shows that he is familiar with the area, maybe he lives nearby?" Du Yingxiong continued.

"So what, do you think it's easy to investigate?" Zhang Zhendong smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know that Wanzhong Street is almost the largest residential area in our city, with nearly 5 households. If there is no more background information Information, it is too difficult to dig him out."

"Is there any progress in the investigation of vehicles at the intersection in the missing area?" Han Yin asked.

"Nearly 30 light-colored cars have been locked, some of which can see the license plate clearly, and some of which cannot be seen clearly. We can only search through the model type. So far, no vehicle suspected of committing the crime has been found." There is a glass of water on the table. Asking whose it belonged to, Zhang Zhendong picked it up and drank it down, and said after deliberation, "Do you have any new ideas here?"

"Speaking of which, can you help us answer a question first?" Du Yingxiong hurriedly continued, thinking that it would be more beneficial for him to pick out the problem of missing video tapes. The excuses were prevaricated, leaving some leeway for both parties.Du Yingxiong raised his eyes and looked at Han Yin. He also considered his words carefully, and continued: "When I was looking at the interrogation video of the '5' case, I found that a tape was missing, but there was a record in the file. Do you know if you gave us less? Or did you accidentally leave it somewhere?"

"Really? Can't it?" Zhang Zhendong was stunned for a moment, then leaned back on the chair and said, "I have specifically explained this matter, and I must hand over a lot of materials to you."

"Could it be that someone took the tape away on purpose and didn't want us to see the interrogation?" Du Yingxiong asked pressingly.

"How is it possible? No!" Zhang Zhendong shook his head vigorously, spreading his hands and said, "The case is handled in an upright manner, there is nothing that cannot be seen by others, and it is possible that they were accidentally lost. I will go back and criticize them."

While speaking, Zhang Zhendong stood up from the chair and couldn't wait to say goodbye.Facing his back, Du Yingxiong sneered and muttered: "There is indeed a problem."

"Why didn't I think so? Team Zhang seems quite calm." Ai Xiaomi asked puzzled.

"Calm down, right? Isn't the normal reaction to be surprised and annoyed when you hear such news?" Du Yingxiong smiled at Han Yin, looking as if he wanted to fight against others, and turned to Ai Xiaomei and said, "Besides, his performance was not calm. You see, when I first mentioned the lack of videotapes, his body immediately froze, indicating that at that moment his whole attention was focused on the high-speed operation of the brain to deal with the problem. The tension and restraint brought about by micro-expression, this is called an instant freezing reaction. Then, I don’t know if you noticed, he leaned back vigorously, and subconsciously made a gesture of wanting to pull away from us. The act of distance, which is called the escape response in terms of micro-expressions. Anyway, in general, the problem of missing video tapes doubled his psychological pressure in an instant."

Section [-] The Hero Has Regrets
Zhang Zhendong's abnormal performance when dealing with the missing video tape suddenly increased the suspense of the whole case.

It is very likely that the video tape was taken away deliberately, and Zhang Zhendong obviously knew about it, but pretended not to know it, which makes people doubt the authenticity of the results of the "5" major case.Could it be that Guan Jun was tortured to extract a confession under torture?If this is the case, it means that the real culprit is still at large, so does the Li Xiaoxiao case, the courier incident, and even Qin Li's killing have anything to do with him? ... The situation was so difficult that Han Yin didn't dare to jump to conclusions, so he could only wait for Gu Feifei to come back, and everyone made up their minds together.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Gu Feifei to show up in the temporary office with the relevant forensic test results.

"The victim, Qin Li, died between 18:20 and [-]:[-] yesterday; her face was swollen, with blood stasis, conjunctival spotting, thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone fractures accompanied by bleeding symptoms, obviously caused by a neck strangler. Sexual suffocation; the victim's lips and gums were damaged and bleeding, and there was a plush woven fabric made of pure cotton yarn between the teeth, indicating that the mouth was blocked by plush during the victimization process; an oval choke was visible on the right side of the neck There are four similar choke marks on the left side of the neck, and the choke marks and facial suffocation are particularly prominent, indicating that the death process was relatively long; at the same time, it was accompanied by extensive abrasions on the back and severe injuries to the lower body. In general, the murderer is Use the right hand to restrain the victim's neck, and take a positive position on a hard surface to violently assault him. To put it bluntly, the murderer pushed Qin Li to the ground and grabbed a towel or pillow cover. Stuffed something into her mouth, then grabbed her neck with one hand, raped her, and gradually strangled her to death in the process. Afterwards, the murderer did a careful cleaning, and no relevant evidence was collected from the scene or the corpse. However, we also I don’t know anything about the murderer. I just mentioned that there is an oval-shaped thumb choke mark on the right side of the corpse’s neck, and there are two irregular partitions in the middle of the mark. The murderer’s thumb must have been cut by a knife Or severe frostbite, you should pay attention to this when investigating suspects." Gu Feifei used a detailed description of the autopsy information to restore the murderer's rape and murder process.

"It only took two or three hours from Qin Li's disappearance to her rape and murder, and only seven or eight hours to the dumping of her body. Compared with the '5' case, both the characteristics of the case and the characteristics of the criminal behavior are different. Far, more like a crime of impulse or passion." Han Yin further concluded, paused, and then asked, "Is there any damage to the body from being hit by a car?"

"I didn't find it, but the body is incomplete and lacks both feet. It's not certain that the car accident injured the feet." Gu Feifei said.

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Du found that there was something wrong with the interrogation video..." Han Yin then recounted the process of their confrontation with Zhang Zhendong.

"This is really troublesome. I'm most afraid of this. Why don't you call Teacher Wu and get his opinion?" Gu Feifei scratched her head and said.

"I think it's fine. If this question is not smooth, our case will not go through!" Du Yingxiong echoed.

……

Several people were talking about it, when suddenly they heard a few knocks on the door, and then the door was gently pushed open—the director Su Dewei and the detachment leader Zhang Zhendong walked in together.

"I'm busy, didn't I bother you?" Seeing several people in the support team sitting opposite each other on both sides of the long table, Su Dewei walked to the end of the long table, which is the middle position between the people on both sides, and continued to say with a smile, " I'm sorry, I overheard everyone's speech at the door just now, I don't think you need to bother Mr. Wu, let me explain what you want to know." While speaking, Su Dewei put a kraft paper file bag in his hand on the table, his eyes widened Sweeping across everyone's faces meaningfully, he continued, "The bag contains the video tape you wanted, and I took it away back then."

"Actually, Director Su has good intentions, and it's all for Lao Li's sake." Zhang Zhendong couldn't hold back, and rushed to say, "There was eight or nine months between Xiaoxiao's accident and Guan Jun's arrest. There is no news, the old man at home is making trouble, the wife is making trouble, and there is still a case at hand. It is conceivable how much pressure Lao Li will bear during that time. Especially as a father and a policeman at the same time, the kind that even himself The frustration and guilt that his daughter can't protect, also made him suffer from constant torment and torment in his heart. Our colleagues can see his physical and mental exhaustion every day, but we don't know how to persuade him. We can only hope With the case in hand, hurry up and get an idea, so I can give him an explanation."

"Later we arrested Guan Jun, and Lao Li was excluded from interrogation, not only because of the discipline of handling the case, but also because his mental state was very poor at that time, which made the team feel that he was about to collapse. It's just that Unexpectedly, Lao Li unexpectedly made an outrageous move."

"That was the third time we interrogated Guan Jun. Just like the previous two times, this kid still pretended to be stupid and didn't say a word. The situation was at a stalemate, and Lao Li suddenly broke in emotionally. We thought he would follow him. Guan Jun had a physical conflict, unexpectedly, he knelt down in front of Guan Jun with a plop..."

Seeing that Zhang Zhendong's voice was trembling and his eye circles were red, and he couldn't continue, Han Yin continued: "This kneeling made Guan Jun feel a sense of accomplishment that he had never had in his life, so he began to confess the crime in the following days. , For him, it is both sharing and aftertaste. Although Li Xiaoxiao’s disappearance has nothing to do with him, but including this hugely influential case into his scope of crimes will undoubtedly greatly increase his sense of accomplishment.”

"The police kneel down to criminals. I don't know how other people will look at Lao Li when such a picture is spread. I really don't want the police to talk about Lao Li because of this. He has already endured too much. Perhaps the only thing that can bring Lao Li some comfort in the end is the job of the police, and I hope I can help him keep it." Su Ju, who was approaching his sixtieth year, had moist eyes, and said with some emotion, "Until now, I still feel right. Brother Chengyi, who worked hard for a lifetime as a police officer, ended up kneeling down to criminals. Really, every time I think of that scene, I feel extremely uncomfortable. To tell you the truth, Team Zhang and I never forget to laugh Laughing at that case, our ability is limited, and we have actually compared many unknown corpses within the scope of our ability over the years. I just didn’t expect that after so many years, this tape will cause trouble to everyone’s work. Now, this tape I officially handed it over to the organization, I know I violated discipline, and I will humbly accept the punishment from my superiors."

"Okay, we have the answer, you can go." Gu Feifei's tone was pale, without any emotion, and in the current atmosphere where everyone in the room was moved by the story of the video tape, she seemed particularly indifferent.Of course, as Han Yin said before, Gu Feifei is not cold-blooded, she just can't deal with this kind of emotional collision, so when Director Su and Zhang Detachment were about to walk out of the office with a desolate look, there was another voice behind them. Gu Feifei said in a faint voice: "You have left something behind."

The doubt about the lack of interrogation videotapes was revealed because Director Su took the initiative to explain the reason, and many doubts surrounding the "5" major case also disappeared.Eliminating this series of troubles, the support team's thinking in handling the case was back on track. Regarding the investigation of Li Xiaoxiao's disappearance and the courier incident, they once again reiterated their suggestion to follow the original direction of handling the case.

As for the most urgent task right now, of course it is the case of Qin Li being raped and murdered.From the analysis of the characteristics of the case and the criminal behavior, coupled with the testimony of the witnesses, the support team is more inclined to believe that this is an impulsive or passionate crime with an accidental nature.At present, the investigation of the locked suspect vehicles is coming to an end. Except for the three vehicles with unclear license plates that are being traced according to the model, the rest of the vehicles have been ruled out as suspects.The case is about to reach a dead end, and Han Yin and Gu Feifei decide to return to the scene to search for clues that may have been missed before.

At 4:[-] p.m., which was basically the same time as when Qin Li was last captured by surveillance, Han Yin and Gu Feifei stood at the T-shaped intersection of Yutian Street and Jinxiu Road, diagonally opposite the gate of Mingfeng Primary School where Qin Li studied. Heading towards the road.

Han Yin raised his wrist to check the time, then the two turned around and began to walk slowly along Yutian Street until they reached the intersection of the middle section of Yutian Street and Yuning Street, which was also the scene where Qin Li was kidnapped according to the witnesses.Han Yin checked the time again, and it took them about 7 minutes to walk from the street to the scene of the crime, imitating the children's pace and frequency. Based on this calculation, the time when Qin Li was taken away should be around 4:40 p.m.

Standing at the intersection, the two of them looked around. Not far ahead, they could see the signboard of the nursing class standing on the side of the street. If Xiao Qin Li had crossed the intersection at that time, she would have walked another 30 to [-] meters.Thinking about it, it's fate. An ordinary intersection has become the dividing line between life and death. Of course, the crime is not at the intersection, but at the person.

The intersection where the incident occurred was formed by the intersection of Yutian Street, which runs north-south, and Yuning Street, which runs east-west. The traffic signs at the intersection show that the two roads are one-way streets. There is no traffic police on duty, and wrong-way vehicles are commonplace.Moreover, Han Yin and Gu Feifei tried to walk a few blocks, and there were too many monitoring blind spots.The two had been here before on the night of the crime, but they hadn't actually inspected the terrain and environment. Now he and Gu Feifei feel more and more that there are too many loopholes in hoping to find the murderer by checking the passing vehicles. Enrich case-handling routines and broaden case-handling thinking.

The two wandered in the west for a while, returned to the intersection where the crime occurred, and then continued to walk east along Yuning Street. After walking 80 meters, there was another intersection. This time, Yuchuan Road intersected with Yuning Street.Yuchuan Road also intersects Jinxiu Road in front of the school, and this intersection is closer to the school.Looking from a distance, he could vaguely see the iron fence of the school. Han Yin felt inexplicably terrified, and with an indescribable traction, he led Gu Feifei towards the street entrance.

When Han Yin and Gu Feifei walked to the intersection, they were somewhat disappointed. It may be because it is located near the school. There are many traffic lights, and this is also an intersection with surveillance cameras. Team Zhang must have checked the intersection and recorded it. The driving conditions of the vehicles before and after the incident meant that Han Yin's suspicion just now had been negated.

The two were in a daze, and there were two six or seven-year-old children playing and chasing after them. The little girl who was running in front tripped over something, and fell to the front with a slap.The little girl lay on the ground and howled loudly, and the little boy behind was frightened and stunned, staying where she was at a loss.Han Yin and Gu Feifei hurried over and helped the child to the side of the road. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, but a pair of small hands were scratched by stones a few times.While comforting, Gu Feifei took out a facial tissue from the pocket of the down jacket, and carefully helped the little girl wipe her dirty hands little by little, and wiped away her tears...

"What are you doing, what are you doing to my child?" An old lady ran over panting, snatched the little girl from Gu Feifei's hand, and asked with a vigilant expression.

"Are you the child's grandma?" Gu Feifei asked with a smile.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" The old lady still looked alert, holding her granddaughter tightly, and pulling the little boy to protect her.

"Mother, don't be nervous. We just passed by here and saw your granddaughter fell down. Help her up." Han Yin explained with a smile.

"Yes, grandma, uncles and aunts are good people." The little boy had regained his composure at this moment, and chimed in.

"Thank you so much, I'm sorry, I blamed you. These two brats love to run wild. How can I catch up with my old arms and legs. You said how dangerous it is to run at this intersection! Thank you so much. Come on, see you, uncle and aunt." At first, the two looked good-looking, and with the confirmation of her grandson, the old lady relaxed a little, said a few polite words, and then led a child away with one hand.

Looking at the backs of the old man and the child, Gu Feifei unconsciously had a longing smile on her face. After a while, she suddenly turned her head, staring at Han Yin with winking eyes, and said softly, "Do you like children?"

Han Yin let out a "hmm" and stared blankly into the distance. Then, as if he suddenly realized something, he shifted his gaze to Gu Feifei's face and said, "Oh, what did you just say?" Before Gu Feifei could respond, Immediately afterwards, he said hastily: "Has our thinking in handling the case been led astray by witnesses?"

"How do you say it?" Gu Feifei put away her obsequiousness and said seriously.

"There is no trace of being hit by a car on Qin Li's body. Could it be that there was no such thing as a car accident?" Han Yin pointed to the distance and gestured, "Would it be like that little girl that Qin Li left? When you got to the intersection, you hurt yourself for some reason, and the murderer happened to drive by, and took the opportunity to coax her into the car?"

"If this is the case, the direction of handling the case is completely different from the original one. Qin Li is already 7 years old, and she should not easily get into the car with strangers. Do you think the murderer is an acquaintance?" Gu Feifei asked.

"Anyway, at least we have another direction." Han Yin hesitated and said, "Could it be the teacher of the nursery class?"

"No, Team Zhang has investigated it before. There are four teachers there, all of whom are women." Gu Feifei immediately waved her hand and said.Suddenly, she froze, she lowered her head to ponder for a while, then raised her head, with a hint of joy on her face, and said, "Maybe the murderer is really a teacher. Do you remember the one I mentioned on the right side of the corpse's neck?" There is a crack on the choke mark of the thumb? Maybe it is not a knife wound or frostbite at all, but caused by the teacher's occupational disease chalk hand. You are also a teacher, have you never heard of this disease?"

"We really don't have it there, but I heard other teachers mention it." Han Yin said.

"Chalk is made of gypsum, and its chemical composition is calcium sulfate, which can irritate and corrode the skin. If you don't pay attention to maintenance after a long time, your hands are prone to skin breakouts and cracks, especially in autumn and winter." Gu Feifei further explained.

"The school is very close to the scene of the disappearance, the acquaintance committed the crime, and the strangle marks are consistent with the characteristics of occupational diseases. Taken together, the possibility of the teacher committing the crime is very high." Han Yin said.

"Qin Li's class teacher is a woman, probably another class teacher or a class teacher." Gu Feifei raised her head in the direction of the school and motioned, "Let's go, find out the situation first."

Du Yingxiong and Ai Xiaomei were also very tired this day.

Nowadays, in the era of rapid development of the Internet, the platform and speed of information dissemination can be described as a thousand flowers blooming, and a thousand miles in a flash. Among them, a certain social platform has the fastest dissemination speed and the widest coverage.As a result, it has also become the preferred platform for hype and breaking news nowadays. Du Yingxiong and Ai Xiaomei decided to start from this platform and try to trace the source of the news of the express delivery incident.

Through keyword searches, the two found that many of the popular comments on the news belonged to the so-called marketing accounts, and the time when they posted about the express incident was not far apart.What made the two feel premeditated was that several marketing accounts posted their posts less than a day after the Qingquan police received the courier, which shows that someone simultaneously disclosed the news to multiple influential accounts.

Ai Xiaomi tried to get in touch with several marketing accounts. Some of them thought she was a liar at first and ignored her at all.Ai Xiaomei patiently explained the stakes, and finally several account owners gave her the same answer: It turned out that on the morning after the police received the courier, a user posted a related message on the social platform. News, and when the news was released, it also took the initiative to "Aite" a number of marketing accounts.These marketing accounts originally relied on gossip and explosive news to attract fans' attention, so naturally they would not let this opportunity pass by, so the user's post received a quick response and was immediately reposted in large numbers.But not long after that, the user suddenly deleted the post and then canceled the account.There are marketing accounts with a keen sense of touch, unwilling to give up this news, and then re-edit the deleted post content and re-send it.As a result, the news spread more and more widely...

Now that the account has been canceled, there is nothing Ai Xiaomei can do. She can only get in touch with the background management of the social platform through the normal procedures of the police, and thus learn that the user registered with a mobile phone number and used a mobile phone to post.Later, Ai Xiaomi inquired about the mobile phone number information and found that it was a temporary number without any call records, which meant that it was specially used to post on social platforms.Ai Xiaomei further traced the location and found that when the mobile phone number posted the post, the nearest base station was on a mountain called Jianshan in the suburbs...

Well, the Internet traced it to the end, and it was a dead end again.Du Yingxiong and Ai Xiaomei decided to listen to Han Yin's words and go to the nurse in the nursing home for questioning, but they didn't expect to have a windfall.

After questioning the nurses one by one, no suspects were found. The two were not reconciled, and then went to the director of the nursing home to continue interrogating.During the questioning, the dean suddenly thought that there is another group that has more contact with the uncles and aunts in the courtyard, and that is the volunteers.The dean said: "Volunteers come to the hospital at least once a month to help with cleaning, chat with the elderly, etc. Most of these volunteers are students from major universities in the city and young backbones of some units. The Municipal Party Committee took the lead in organizing it. In the past two months, it was because the school and various units had a lot of things to do at the end of the year, so they came less.”

Afterwards, Du Yingxiong and Ai Xiaomei got in touch with the relevant departments of the Communist Youth League Committee, and found out the list of units and personnel who had participated in voluntary donations in nursing homes in recent months, and found that a name appeared frequently among them—Zhai Tingting, who belonged to a nursing home in this city. Students of the Provincial Police Academy, which had been relocated to the suburbs at the beginning of the year, and the new campus was built at the foot of Jianshan Mountain.

Therefore, based on the clues from both parties, Zhai Tingting was identified as the suspect of the instigator of the courier incident.

The guard room of Mingfeng Primary School.

It was almost 6 p.m. at this time, and the school's faculty and staff were basically off work, and only the guard room was on duty.However, seeing that the two security guards are almost middle-aged, they must have worked in the school for many years, welcoming them every day, so they should be familiar with the school's situation.

"How many male teachers teach culture in the school?" Han Yin asked.

"Not many, there are three or four, oh, four." The taller security guard replied.

"Does anyone drive a light-colored private car?" Gu Feifei asked.

"Yes, Teacher Wang drives white ones, and Teacher Xiang drives silver-gray ones." The short security guard replied.

"Which of these two people teaches lower grade courses?" Gu Feifei asked.

"Teacher Xiang, he seems to be teaching the first and second grade ideological and moral classes." The short security guard replied.

"What time do you get off work here?" Han Yin asked.

"4:[-]." The short security guard replied.

"How about Teacher Xiang? Are you familiar with him?" Han Yin and Gu Feifei exchanged eyes.The school got off work at 4:4, and Qin Li disappeared around 40:[-]. Judging from the time point, it is very likely that the teacher committed the crime.

"It's not too familiar. I'm in my early 40s, and I always say hello when I go in and out. I don't show myself in school. I feel that I am quite responsible." The tall security guard said.

"I heard he's divorced." The short security guard added.

"Do you know where he lives?" Han Yin asked.

"I heard from him that he lives in Century Community," said the tall security guard.

"Is it close to Wanzhong Community?" Han Yin asked.

"It's pretty close, just across a big road." The short security guard said.

"Do you have a monitoring room here? Is there anyone there?" Gu Feifei asked.

"You want to know what time he left on the day the little girl didn't see you?" He must have been questioned by the police a lot recently, and the tall security guard seemed to be familiar with the routine, and he took the initiative to break the news, "Teacher Xiang usually gets stuck, I was on duty that day, and he left the door at 4:[-] on time, and I watched him walk across the street..."

"Did he not drive that day?" If he did not drive, Mr. Xiang would not be suspected of committing the crime. Gu Feifei couldn't help but interrupt the security guard.

"He should drive. There are very few parking spaces near our school. Usually, if you come late, there will be no space. Many teachers park their cars in the opposite community." The short security guard explained.

The car was parked in the opposite community, so the surveillance at the intersection didn't capture it... Han Yin and Gu Feifei looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Chapter [-] Never Forget
bang bang bang...

"Open the door!"

"Who?"

"Police! Open the door!"

After a brief conversation, the door of the house was opened, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses poked his head out. Zhang Zhendong showed his ID card and asked coldly, "Are you Xiang Peng?"

"Yes, you... what's the matter with you?" Xiang Peng looked innocent.

"Stretch out your right hand!" Gu Feifei stood up from behind Team Zhang and ordered.

"Hey, what's wrong with my hand?" Xiang Peng stretched out his hand inexplicably.

Gu Feifei took a look—there were two deep cuts on the skin of her thumb, and then nodded to Zhang Zhendong, who immediately asked, "Can we go in and talk?"

"Yes... yes." Xiang Peng reluctantly opened the door.

A group of people entered the room, Gu Feifei looked around, turned around and walked into the kitchen with the forensic work box, and closed the door.After a while, she called out the names of Zhang Zhendong and Han Yin from the inside. The two entered the kitchen and saw Gu Feifei holding a fluorescent flashlight in his hand in the dark. There were large patches of blue-purple fluorescent light on the kitchen floor—it was blood that met Lu. The chemical reaction of mino spray...

Police Academy, Security Section.

"It's so late, and you guys are still looking for me, so I don't need to hide it anymore. I delivered the courier." Di Tingting in front of her was tall and slender, with white skin like snow, her bright eyes were smiling, and the back of her head was pierced With a fluffy ponytail, just like her name, she is slim, with a graceful and natural temperament.

"How old are you?" Du Yingxiong asked.

"Senior year." Zhai Tingting replied.

"Is studying the police academy your first choice?" Du Yingxiong asked.

"Yes, I want to be a policeman." Zhai Tingting replied.

"Then you should know that fabricating false cases is a crime, and it may prevent you from becoming a police officer. Don't you feel it's a pity that you are already a senior?" Ai Xiaomei asked.

"I think it's worth it if Uncle Li can fulfill his wish. I'm still young, and he may have no memory at all soon." Zhai Tingting replied.

"The Uncle Li you're talking about is Li Chengyi, right? Why did you think of helping him send a courier to the police?" Du Yingxiong asked.

"I started visiting Uncle Li in a nursing home more than a year ago. At that time, his Alzheimer's disease had worsened, and his consciousness was up and down. When he was awake, I saw him holding a child's silver bracelet in a daze. Later, I I can't help but inquire about its origin, because Uncle Li's consciousness changes very quickly, and he is always confused and awake at one time, so it took him many times to fully listen to the story behind the bracelet. You should have seen the big box under Uncle Li's bed, right? , It is full of information about that case, he has been studying it. I also read those materials before I decided to send a courier to the Criminal Investigation Detachment." Zhai Tingting explained.

"The postcard was also found in the box?" Ai Xiaomei asked.

"Yes, Uncle Li said that before Guan Jun was arrested, he wanted to track down the postcard sales channels to find the murderer, so he collected a lot of those postcards." Zhai Tingting replied.

"Then did he say whether his daughter's disappearance has anything to do with Guan Jun?" Ai Xiaomei asked.

"I asked him many times, and I felt that he couldn't explain clearly, so I just mailed the postcard and the bracelet together." Zhai Tingting smiled unnaturally, and then asked a little anxiously, "Now that you have found me, are you going to stop?" Are you in charge of the case of Uncle Li's daughter?"

"To be honest, the case was reopened because of you, but from the beginning our support team divided the investigation of the source of the courier and the investigation of Li Xiaoxiao's disappearance into two cases, so we will investigate to the end." Ai Xiaomei replied.

"That's great. I think this is what an ordinary and great policeman like Uncle Li deserves. I really hope that he can know the whereabouts of his daughter before he completely loses his memory, even if it is a silent body. It’s a kind of comfort.” Zhai Tingting said.

"That's all for today. You can stay at school with peace of mind. As for what to do with you, just wait for the notice." Ai Xiaomi said.

"Okay." Zhai Tingting smiled, seeing the two getting up to leave, she also stood up from the chair, tears burst out for no reason, "Have you seen the bracelet of Uncle Li's daughter? That's Uncle Li Specially customized, with a lot of bells tied on it. Uncle Li said that Xiaoxiao is always immersed in his own world, and often calls her without getting a response. Once lost in the crowd, you can find Xiaoxiao by following the sound of the bells .”

"If we solve the case, are you willing to tell him the news yourself?" Du Yingxiong, who had already walked to the door, turned his head and said, not sure if he was moved by Zhai Tingting's last words.

"Of course, of course I would." Di Tingting nodded vigorously while wiping away tears.

Criminal investigation detachment, interrogation room.

……

After some routine interrogation, Zhang Zhendong began to focus the question: "How did you meet Qin Li?"

"That day after work, I drove past the intersection and saw Qin Li sitting on the ground crying. I got out of the car and asked her what was wrong. She said that her foot had been pierced by a nail. Indeed, I don't know who threw it on a wooden square on the side of the road. A nail stuck into her shoe. I didn't know how deep it was, so I didn't dare to pull it out. I wanted to take her to the hospital." Xiang Peng sank down on the interrogation chair and said submissively, "I started I really wanted to send her to the hospital, but then... I coaxed her that the teacher's house had medicine, and when I went to the teacher's house, the teacher bandaged her feet, and then when I got home... I just... I couldn't help it..."

"How did you think of cutting off the child's feet?" Zhang Zhendong asked.

"It's just that the recent news has been very hot, and some people say that the wrong person was caught at all back then. I thought about imitating his tactics so that I could get away with it..." Xiang Peng said.

Overnight, it can be described as a double blessing, solving two thorny problems at once. Of course, this is not what the support team ultimately wants. They most hope to give Li Chengyi an explanation on Li Xiaoxiao's case.To put it bluntly, if you live, you need to see people, and if you die, you need to see corpses.

Without other ties, everyone actively participated in the investigation of Li Xiaoxiao's case.A week later, under the leadership of the support team and with the great assistance of various fraternal units across the country, several cases of child abduction and trafficking involving the corpse of an unknown young woman and related to Qingquan City were reported one after another.After the summary, the DNA comparison work was carried out in an orderly manner. At the same time, the Qingquan police sent personnel to various places to verify the circumstances of the abduction and trafficking case.

Among them, two cases deserve the most attention.In the first case, the criminal Zhang Dehu, from 1992 to 1999, fled to many provinces and cities in China, involving a total of 9 cases of child abduction and trafficking. According to his confession: he was in Qingquan City in August 1994 and February 8 Two crimes were committed in Changshan District and Huangni District, and two boys were abducted and trafficked by him.Zhang Dehu, male, was born in February 1995, and his native place is Tanshan City, Yunbian Province. He was arrested in 2 in the severe crackdown on trafficking cases in Yunbian area. For good behavior, the sentence was reduced to 1970 years in prison.

The second case, Liu Shuang, the perpetrator, was involved in a total of 1995 cases of child abduction and trafficking in multiple provinces and cities in China from 1998 to 6.Liu Shuang, female, was born in June 20. She was originally from Linjian City, Heyang Province. She had worked in Qingquan City for many years. The first crime was committed in Taicheng City, a city close to Qingquan City.

In these two cases, the victim and the perpetrator intersected with Qingquan City respectively, and the time of committing the crime was relatively close to the year Li Xiaoxiao disappeared.Therefore, the Qingquan Municipal Bureau decided to send Zhang Zhendong and other backbone forces to join the support team to personally go to the places where the perpetrators of the two cases were held for verification.

Interrogation room, No. [-] Prison of Yunbian Province.

This is not an easy interrogation. Assuming that the criminal has previously committed a secret crime and has not been discovered, it will have a certain psychological advantage.Furthermore, the reason why he has reservations about confessing to committing a crime must be because the nature of the case will lead to more severe legal punishment, and the sentence will soon expire.So Zhang Zhendong hoped that Han Yin could go to the battle in person to preside over the trial.

"Hello, we are from the State Bureau of Criminal Investigation, and we want to verify a case with you." As soon as Han Yin came up, he deliberately suppressed Zhang Dehu's so-called psychological advantages, and said that his name was the biggest.

Sure enough, Zhang Dehu moved his body unconsciously, showing a trace of nervousness, pretending to be obsequious, and replied: "Hello, you can ask whatever you want, and I will definitely cooperate."

"Where were you in August 1993? What were you doing?" Han Yin asked.

"I, I was in Chengyang (a city in Yunbian Province), and I was helping others as a bricklayer." Zhang Dehu tilted his head slightly to the left, and his eyes also glanced to the upper left.

In fact, this is a date that has nothing to do with the case. Han Yin wants to use this to establish the baseline of his real reaction, that is to say, some of Zhang Dehu's micro-expressions just now are his real state of memory.Immediately, Han Yin continued to ask: "In May 1995, were you in Qingquan City?"

"May 1995...not here, I have already confessed that I abducted two children there in February of that year and August of the previous year." Zhang Dehu deliberately repeated the date, stunned for a moment, and blinked quickly Blinking his eyes, he continued.

This is obviously not remembering, but thinking, and blinking is also one of the manifestations of visual blockage. What is Zhang Dehu avoiding?Han Yin applied further pressure, took out a photo from the file folder, handed it to the prison guard who was standing aside to cooperate with the interrogation, motioned to hand the photo to Zhang Dehu who was sitting in the interrogation chair, and said, "Have you seen this girl?"

Zhang Dehu glanced at the photo in his hand, frowned slightly, then returned the photo to the prison guard, shrunk down and said, "I haven't seen it before."

Seeing that Zhang Dehu had a fear reaction, Han Yin began to feel that there was a big problem with this kid, and continued to follow the interrogation train of thought: "This kid has autism and has a very bad temper."

"Oh, I really have never seen such a child." Zhang Dehu nodded, then shook his head and said.

Unconsciously agree with the reaction, and say you haven't seen the child?Han Yin felt more confident, put the photos back into the folder, made a deliberate tidying action, and then said in an unquestionable tone: "I want to emphasize again, we are all from the State Administration, you know, there is no We will not talk to you lightly if there is sufficient evidence, that is to say, you still have the opportunity to honestly confess what you committed, and we will declare to the court your situation at the time and the circumstances of your voluntary confession, and your sentencing It will help."

Han Yin deliberately mentioned Zhang Dehu's situation at the time, in fact, to give him a psychological hint that he had to commit the crime, so Zhang Dehu might think that he would be lenient in sentencing, so he raised his hand and rubbed his forehead a few times, showing that he was hesitant Emotions.Han Yin saw it and understood that it was time to give him the last blow.Han Yin stood up, walked around the long table, walked up to Zhang Dehu, pressed both hands on the railings on both sides of the interrogation chair, stared at Zhang Dehu fiercely and said, "You abducted the little girl, at first you just thought she was not talkative. , and even you are secretly happy that she won't cause you trouble, but you didn't expect that she would suddenly lose her temper and scream non-stop, because she has autism and she can't express it through words Her emotions. You put your hands over her mouth, trying to suppress her voice, but she is even crazier, so you push harder and harder until she is out of breath..."

"Yes, she suddenly went crazy, I can't control her, I really have no other choice!" Zhang Dehu covered his face with his hands, avoiding Han Yin's gaze, and said in a crying voice.

"How did you dispose of the corpse?" Han Yin tried to control his anger and asked.

"I smothered her to death, then buried her under the old persimmon tree in my yard, and told people that the child had been sold." Zhang Dehu said with his head bowed deeply.

"Keep your head up!" Han Yin yelled sharply, and then almost pressed his face to Zhang Dehu's, saying bitterly, "I have seen many vicious criminals, but in the end I found that I hate people like you the most. go to hell!"

Zhang Dehu's farm house in Guangde Village, Tanshan City, Yunbian Province.

Zhang Zhendong took the lead, and several policemen wielded shovels to dig the soil, digging around an old persimmon tree.Gradually, a deep pit appeared in front of the persimmon tree, and everyone began to be cautious, as if they felt that they might dig up the bones at any time... Sure enough, Gu Feifei suddenly called out "stop", then walked to the side of the pit and picked it up with her hands. A layer of floating soil, a silver thing was dug out from the black mud, and it was lifted into the air...

end
It was already evening when the plane landed in Qingquan City, and the new year will enter in a few hours. The city is full of lively scenes of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Stop in the old days!
A dark blue commercial vehicle slowly stopped in front of Tongxin Nursing Home, the door opened, Zhang Zhendong got out of the car first, followed by the four members of the support team.

Entering the courtyard, a tall, beautiful girl greeted her with a slight smile, and introduced herself as Zhai Tingting. Of course, everyone is familiar with this name, and it is even more favorable when they meet a real person.

Zhang Zhendong said kindly: "I heard that you are about to graduate, how about it, would you like to come to our criminal police team?"

"I made such a big mistake, are you still willing to accept me?" Zhai Tingting raised her hand and brushed the ends of her hair, and said apologetically, "I have decided not to be a policeman!"

"Why?" Zhang Zhendong was surprised.

"I think that as a policeman, there must be clear boundaries. Black is black and white is white. There is no middle ground, because the law is like this. The police are enforcers, and they must abide by the law." Zhai Tingting said with a straight face, "I think I What I did for Uncle Li for the first time, the result was good, but the process was not commendable, I am afraid that I cannot be a good policeman with my personality.”

"Then what kind of policeman do you think is a good policeman?" Zhang Zhendong looked at Zhai Tingting with admiration and asked.

Zhai Tingting thought for a while and said: "I don't think a good policeman needs to have so many outstanding achievements. He may be ordinary all his life, but no matter what difficulties he encounters, no matter what gains or losses he faces, he can abide by the professional ethics of the police. , to uphold the dignity due to the law."

"Okay, let's stop standing outside and go in." Gu Feifei patted Zhai Tingting's shoulder kindly, signaling her to go in with everyone.

Ai Xiaomei, who was walking at the end, twisted Du Yingxiong's arm hard, and said in a low voice, "You asked her to come, didn't you? Did you fall in love with him? Now you can pick up girls."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you promise me?" Du Yingxiong shook his arm and said avoiding it.

In the room of the nursing home, facing a group of "strange" faces, Li Chengyi was a little at a loss, standing in front of the bed blankly, with an appearance of neither sitting nor standing.

Gu Feifei took out a pair of silver bracelets from her satchel, handed them to Zhai Tingting, and then pointed to Li Chengyi.

Di Tingting took the bracelet, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly. She walked up to Li Chengyi, helped him sit on the bed, squatted down by herself, and sobbed, "Uncle Li, do you still remember to smile?"

"Who is Xiaoxiao?" Li Chengyi asked curiously, "Is it you, girl, is your name Xiaoxiao right?"

"Uncle Li, I said I would help you find Xiaoxiao, and I did." Zhai Tingting spoke and handed a pair of bracelets to Li Chengyi.

Li Chengyi looked at the pair of bracelets handed to him with an inexplicable expression, shook his head and looked back and forth for a long time, and then slowly took it with trembling hands.He held up a bracelet in each hand and tried to shake it lightly. With the jingling of the bells on the bracelet, two lines of tears silently rolled down his face...
