Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 56 The Descendants of the Dragon Clan (18)
20. Pair drink

In the evening we sat in a local restaurant and drank two bottles of drinks. Chief Tang frowned and said, "It's not fair, the world is not fair."

Head Chen said: "Why, why did you say that?"

Lao Tang said: "Old Chen, we don't tell lies in front of real people. If we want to say that my salary is not as good as yours, let's not talk about it. It is a system problem. After all, my rank is not as high as yours. But in terms of pressure, my case must It must be broken, otherwise the leaders, the common people, the newspapers, and the TV will all scold you. If you have a case that cannot be settled, no one will know about it. Do you think this is unfair?"

Head Chen thought for a while and said, "It's not fair for you to criticize us from this point of view!"

Lao Tang said: "It goes without saying that the pressure of our department comes from the cracking of the truth. If there are no rigid requirements in this regard, then the work will not be considered stressful. Any work without pressure is easy to do. Delightful."

Head Chen smiled and said: "Old Tang, you only know one thing, you can only see the superficial problems, have you thought about the deep-seated problems? Yes, I really don't have the pressure like you to restore the truth, but this is due to It is determined by special reasons. The cases in your hand are all man-made. Since it is man-made, then he must pay the price for his actions. Isn’t that the true meaning of the law? But the cases I am facing are all non-human cases , the law does not apply to them, since there is no legal constraint, we naturally do not have the pressure you have, but this does not mean that we have no pressure, on the contrary, our pressure is much greater than you. "

Lao Tang said: "Old Chen, we don't tell lies in front of real people, if you still say that you are under a lot of pressure, then it is really unreasonable."

Head Chen said: "That's right, we really don't have too many requirements on the rate of solving crimes, but the risk of losing your life in criminal investigations is less likely than ours, and many of the things we deal with are earth-shattering and unheard of If you fail to do so, you will lose your life. Let’s just talk about the case of General Flying Apsaras. We were close to death. If any small situation is not handled properly, we may lose our lives. That water monster in Heilongjiang, you I also know that Zhuang Zi was sucked into his mouth by it, and anyone else would be dead. If you complain, Lao Tang, you are really hypocritical."

Lao Tang was taken aback, and said with a smile: "You are telling the truth. It seems that our salary is not easy to get. Every family has a difficult scripture."

Head Chen said: "Don't keep complaining, tell us about your new case, and we won't leak the secret casually."

After hearing this, Lao Tang's expression became a little dejected and he said: "Stop talking, I have encountered strange things recently, and you all know how this person died, and he died with an artistic sense. Who am I to tell it to?" I can believe it."

Head Chen said: "I believe it."

Lao Tang sighed and said: "Not necessarily, how did this person die, let me tell you about the methods used by the other party, and you will know how inexplicable the whole case is, this person was beaten to death in the elevator of his home. "

Head Chen said: "The killer is really too courageous, there are usually monitors in the elevator."

Lao Tang said: "That's right, who said it wasn't, but this elevator is different. Do you know how complicated this mechanism is? First of all, the button to go up to the sixth floor of the elevator is connected to the fingerprint proofreader installed on the top of the elevator. Every Anyone who presses the button on the sixth floor will have their fingerprints uploaded for verification. When the fingerprints in the database are verified, it will immediately trigger the opening program of a microcomputer, and at the same time trigger a virus code. The microcomputer controls a connection In the pistol in the dark corner, the virus code will immediately invade the background monitor through the monitoring facility network in the elevator and rewrite the code. The new code is to upload all the screenshots of the avatars in the elevator monitor to the microcomputer memory immediately, and the memory itself has a A photo of a person. When the profile picture in the screenshot matches the facial features of the profile picture in the memory, the program will immediately lock the position of the person, and then adjust the angle of the pistol according to this point. When the muzzle of the gun is also locked on the victim, the firing mechanism is triggered, and the victim That's how he got killed."

We were dumbfounded when we heard this, and Captain Chen said: "This person is definitely a talent, how could he come up with such a murderous method if he is not a talent, this is too exaggerated!"

Lao Tang said: "Who doesn't say it, Lao Chen, I am now facing a mixture of a lunatic and a genius. I am really devastated. At that time, there were six or seven people in the elevator, so the impact was particularly bad. The bureau required me to Detecting this case, you said that it is clearly a case without a head, and there is no clue left, I am really a dog biting a bastard, and I have nothing to say."

Head Chen frowned and thought for a while, "As long as it is a crime, it is impossible to have no clues. There will be more or less clues. The key is whether you can find them. Judging from the clues you mentioned, I think there is one thing that needs to be paid attention to. How the other party installed those complicated equipment in the elevator, as long as you understand this, I think it will definitely help you solve the case."

Lao Tang smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, we have already worked hard to investigate what you said, but unfortunately, I can tell you that the other party did not leave any clues. , but the parts are all regular brands. We also tried to start with these small parts, but found that these manufacturers shipped tens of thousands of goods every day, not to mention that the murderer might buy these parts from other places, even in Beijing , In terms of sales alone, it is impossible for us to figure out the direction of each part."

Head Chen said: "Then what about the surveillance video? Can you take advantage of this? After all, the surveillance equipment is all controlled by the property management company. If the murderer used this resource, wouldn't he leave any clues?"

Lao Tang said: "You still haven't understood the details I said before. The murderer has considered this issue a long time ago. He specially wrote a piece of virus code, that is to say, when the fingerprint comparison is successful, the virus code will be activated. It will intrude into the monitoring program through the network used for monitoring, and rewrite the monitoring program for its own use. In fact, the changed monitoring program is equivalent to the scope of the sniper rifle. When the prey is locked by the scope, the gunshot is a matter of course. And after we did experiments, we found that when the virus modifies the source code of the monitoring program, the screen on the computer monitor will not appear abnormal, because it just captures and uploads a screen. Nothing will be found."

Head Chen shook his head and said, "I'm really convinced by this person. To be honest, it's really tricky. However, through the two recent cases, I think they all have a common feature, that is, the tactics are very clever. The murderers were all in advance. Arrange to trigger the killing mechanism only on the premise that the whole body can be evacuated and has no connection with the matter. The murderer is a genius. Lao Tang, maybe you can try to deal with it together. It is not easy to find a person like this. can appear continuously.”

Lao Tang said: "You pretend I don't want to, but this alone is not enough for the merger declaration."

Head Chen said: "Isn't that enough? The two methods of killing are very similar in style. It is a waste of manpower and material resources to do it separately, which in itself is an obstacle to solving the case. The external pressure is very strong. No matter how much internal pressure is created for no reason, how can you settle this case, the other party is definitely not an ordinary criminal, this is an obvious fact."

Lao Tang said: "It's a pity that the leader is not you. Now no one dares to make a conclusion easily, because the dead are all elites, and no one dares to act hastily."

Head Chen said: "What, both of them are elites?"

Lao Tang said: "That's right, the first one is the regional president of biopharmaceuticals. This is one of the largest food sellers in the area. Do you think how much pressure we can have?"

Head Chen said: "That's troublesome enough, but we are not having a good time now, otherwise I can help you out."

Old Tang said: "What's the matter with you?"

Head Chen said: "Didn't a huge butterfly appear? It drove a good person crazy. We haven't found any abnormalities until now. It is estimated that this case will be shelved."

Lao Tang sighed and said: "From this point of view, you are much better than me. If you can't handle your case, you won't handle it. No one can do anything to you. If I can't handle my case, I will probably have to go down to the grassroots level." I have exercised. Old Chen, I have worked hard for more than 20 years to get the title I have today, and if I fail, I will have to start all over again."

Head Chen said: "Similarly, we have to come back from the womb if we fail. It's not easy for anyone, but don't worry, my case is not too stressful anyway. We can discuss it when we have time. I can't do criminal investigation." How much worse than you."

Lao Tang said: "Old Chen, you have given me a shot in the arm. I thank you in advance."

Head Chen said: "Just for your meal, I can't let you bloodletting, old man, can I?"

Lao Tang said: "What is this? If this case can be settled, let's have a good seafood meal in Shangri-La."

After returning, I said: "Head, what did you say that someone can put so much effort into killing people?"

Head Chen said: "Isn't this simple? This is a typical high-IQ crime. The other party has only one purpose in doing this, that is, to conceal his true identity. In fact, I didn't talk about it with Lao Tang because it was meaningless. If this case can be combined, it will be possible to investigate whether there is any connection between the two deceased. If there is indeed a connection between them, then it is possible to assess what the murderer's purpose is. Because he killed two people with the same method, then this Of course, both of them are people he hates, if he can figure out why he hates these two people, it will be of great help to solve the case, but since they do not agree to join the case, it is hard for us as bystanders to say much.”

Ma Tianxing said: "Why don't you say that bureaucracy killed people? Although no one was killed this time, I'm afraid it will kill a few people."

Head Chen said: "This is something that can't be helped. After all, the deceased has a special status, and no one can easily draw conclusions. Moreover, the merger also requires a process of argumentation. It's not just a merger."

Ma Tianxing said: "Anyway, this old Tang is busy, killing people can be regarded as an artist."

Head Chen said: "This killer is indeed a genius, otherwise we would not have thought of this method, but I think our goal should not be too much on this, everyone still has their own business to do."

I said: "I don't think the king butterfly is any easier to find than that killer. It stands to reason that this kind of butterfly should be very conspicuous. There are many houses there, so no one will see it."

Head Chen said: "Who knows, weird things will always produce weird processes. This is a combination of two things. But fortunately, butterflies are beautiful animals. The bigger they are, the more beautiful they are."

We went to the local area again and did a detailed investigation, but the residents all said that they had never seen this butterfly, never.But this time we found a butterfly that had been air-dried long ago in the corn grove. It was stuck to the corn stalks. Due to the special location, we may not have noticed it before.Head Chen carefully removed the butterfly that had become a natural specimen with tweezers, and Ma Tianxing said, "Mr. Han is not talking about this butterfly, is it?"

Head Chen said: "From this point of view, we can be sure that there are really butterflies in this forest." After finishing speaking, he put it in his pocket and sealed it, and said, "We still have to go to Teacher Han's place." .”

It was seven or eight o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the school, and Teacher Han was still doing scientific analysis in the teaching group. We told him the results of the investigation, and Teacher Han said: "That's really interesting, it seems that this matter is not easy ,yes?"

Head Chen said: "It should be like this, Mr. Han, I personally don't have the slightest doubt about your words, but if you analyze it according to common sense, you two should not be the only witnesses to the appearance of such a huge butterfly in broad daylight." , After all, the area you are in is inhabited by residents, I still can't understand this point."

Mr. Han habitually raised his glasses with his hand and smiled, "If this is a normal matter, the head Chen should not be involved in it himself. Since your department is involved, it will definitely not be an ordinary matter. Based on the experience of regiment leader Chen, he should have experienced a situation ten times weirder than this."

Head Chen said: "That's right, but we don't have the slightest clue to investigate this matter, so we also feel very embarrassed."

Teacher Han said: "It can't be said that there is no clue. There are at least two people in this world who have seen this kind of butterfly. Otherwise, we would not have reported this case for no reason, and Wei Qingzhong would not have been insane for no reason. As for the investigation and handling It's the matter of Captain Chen, and I really can't help in this regard."

Head Chen said: "That's right. We came here just to share our views with you. If you have nothing more to tell us, then forget it. Let's continue the investigation."

Teacher Han nodded and said, "Excuse me, what time is it?" Then he pointed to the wall clock on the wall and said, "This clock is out of batteries, and no one has replaced it."

Head Chen looked at his watch and said, "It's 08:30, that's it, you do your work first, we're leaving now."

Teacher Han said: "Why leave? Since you are here, go to my place for a meal. My wife is away on business, and I am the only one at home."

Head Chen politely declined, and Teacher Han didn't make much effort to keep him.After getting into the car, Ma Tianxing said: "This sour scholar, who speaks with a gun and a stick, seems to have nothing to do after reporting the crime."

Head Chen said: "Intellectuals are like this. They don't like to be disturbed too much. They just use this way to tell us that we have nothing to do and it's best not to go to him, even though he reported the case."

Ma Tianxing said: "That's just right. To be honest, I'm really not interested in this case. I don't have any passion at all, and it makes people feel inexplicable."

Head Chen said: "It's not interesting to forcefully investigate, but we must not be irresponsible. If there is a chance, we will continue to go deeper. But I think it's a bit strange if you pay attention to a small detail."

Ma Tianxing said: "What's the matter, what did you find?"

Head Chen said: "When Mr. Han asked me the time just now, I saw a watch on his wrist."

Ma Tianxing said: "What's the matter, what's so strange about it?"

Head Chen said: "Would you ask other people's time?"

Ma Tianxing said: "Maybe he is too lazy to check the time by himself?"

Head Chen said: "He has already raised his hands, don't he have the strength to move his eyes?"

Ma Tianxing said: "Chief, I don't think there is anything to worry about in this detail. There are many reasons, for example, he didn't recover when he was doing research, or the watch was just given to him by someone else. No idea. To put it bluntly, in this way, he wanted to tell us that it was getting late and we should leave. In short, I don’t think there is anything strange about it. Analyzing this problem, there is really no place for us to use our strength.”

Head Chen said: "That's true. Although I advocate not letting go of a detail, this time I may be oversensitive."

While talking, Captain Chen's phone rang. When he got through, it was Captain Tang. His first words were: "Old Chen, we have the information on the murderer. Telling it will scare you to death."

Head Chen said: "Oh, let's hear it."

Captain Tang said: "That won't work. You have to treat me to a meal. This is a shocking ending. I think your meal is definitely worth it."

Head Chen said: "This is your case, why should I invite you?"

Captain Tang said: "The story is nice, why, isn't it worth it?"

Head Chen smiled and said: "Forget it, who made me interested in your case, tell me, which place to choose?"

After a while we were sitting in the local restaurant from last time, and the head of Chen said: "Old Tang, with you, this is clearly a case without merit. You can solve the case so early, I sincerely I admire you."
