Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 57 The Descendants of the Dragon Clan (19)
Captain Tang said: "Don't be polite to me. Without you, I would have been demoted to the grassroots. And this case is also my luck. You don't believe it. It's really strange to a certain extent. Except for luck, really There is no way to solve this case.”

Head Chen said: "Really? Then tell me, I really want to see how amazing ordinary people can be."

Captain Tang said: "Actually, some mysticism is also involved. The so-called Skynet is not leaking, and this should be the reason. The murderer is not one person, but two people, and they are the two deceased themselves."

Ma Tianxing widened his eyes and said: "What? They committed suicide in such a complicated way, that's not crazy."

Captain Tang said: "Who said they committed suicide? They killed each other. We call the first dead person A and the second dead person B. To put it bluntly, B pretended to be dead at A's house." After buying the pistol, A installed those very complicated devices in the elevator that B must pass through. The final result was that A was shot at home first, and B was shot in the elevator after returning home the next day. Old Chen, this is called self-inflicted evil."

We were all amazed by the weird ending, but Captain Chen frowned and said nothing. Captain Tang said, "Old Chen, isn't this ending shocking?"

Head Chen said: "It's really shocking. How did you find this out? Can you tell me in detail?"

Captain Tang said: "This process is really not complicated. Didn't I tell you that the monitoring program was rewritten by virus code before? Later, colleagues in the technical department analyzed the virus code and found a fatal loophole in this virus code. Maybe the writer Too careless, or technically incompetent, he didn’t delete the original file, but just changed the name of the original video file.”

Head Chen said: "You put it in an easy-to-understand way. I'm not very good at computers."

Captain Tang said: "I told you to learn it a long time ago. Well, you know that you are behind the times. In layman's terms, it is because the murderer wants to enter the elevator to install tools, but since he entered the elevator, before the original program is not infected by the virus, the murderer Every move of the murderer will be recorded by the monitoring program, so in addition to executing the screenshot command in the virus code, there is also an instruction to modify the original file, that is, the video file name generated by recording the scene of the murderer. , and then generate a new video file name."

Head Chen said: "But in this way, the previous monitoring screens will all disappear. Could it be that the property management staff didn't find any abnormalities before?"

Captain Tang said: "You also know that there is nothing wrong with the monitoring, and no one will pay attention to it at all. Who stares at the computer screen 24 hours a day? Have you ever seen such a responsible monitoring personnel? This time also It was an accident, so we investigated it. The staff of our technical department deciphered the virus code, and found the directory hidden by the original file whose name was changed. When we opened it, didn't we immediately grasp the physical characteristics of the murderer? It is the deceased A. As for the clues left by the deceased B, it is not complicated, because the home of the deceased A also has monitoring equipment. All the clothes I was wearing were searched out, so there is nothing to say, this is how the case was broken."

Head Chen thought for a while and said, "Lao Tang, let's talk about it. I believe that the pictures in the surveillance cannot be faked, but have you ever thought about it? Don't you think that this is the clue that the murderer deliberately left for you to solve the case?" , For example, the virus program you mentioned, why did it just modify the file name instead of deleting the file? And the deceased B, if I guessed correctly, he has no possibility of returning home after killing A, because the program It is activated there, he will die when he enters the elevator, and he has no chance to enter the house? Unless he walks down the stairs once, but if there is an elevator, what is the purpose of taking the stairs? Apparently the dead person B didn’t know that there was a person in the elevator. Set up a procedure to kill him, otherwise he would not go in and be killed, so after killing someone, B has no chance to get home at all, so how did that suit get to his house? Isn't it strange?"

Lao Tang said: "What you said is indeed very important, but we have analyzed it a long time ago. It is really possible that he walked down the stairs once to go home."

Head Chen said: "It's still the same question: why use the stairs when there is a good elevator?"

Lao Tang said: "This property really gave a proper reason. The elevator happened to be broken that morning, and they repaired it once."

Head Chen nodded and said, "So that's the case, it's just a coincidence."

Lao Tang said: "How about it, Lao Chen, it is more valuable for you to treat this meal, it is really the first time I have encountered such an interesting case in my life."

Head Chen said: "But I always feel that something is wrong. Both A and B are successful people. Why did they take such a big risk to kill people? It should be said that there must be some kind of connection between the two. "

Lao Tang said: "This is what we are currently investigating, but the murderer can target these two people. The evidence is there, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the people."

Head Chen said: "The case is really strange. It seems that there is no flaw at all, but in the blink of an eye, the truth immediately surfaced. You still have to be careful, Lao Tang, and don't let the real bad guy go."

Lao Tang said: "Of course, this case is not closed, but it has nothing to do with me from now on. The criminal police are responsible for the investigation."

Head Chen smiled and said, "You are liberated now, but we are still in trouble. That thing has not been found yet."

Lao Tang said: "What's the matter? It's just a butterfly. There are many species that have not been found in nature. As long as it is not destructive, it doesn't matter."

Head Chen said: "That's true, but didn't it scare a person crazy? If Wei Qingzhong hadn't been there, this case would have ended like this."

21. The third person to die
"Solving a case is not a matter of pretending to be confused, so you must give me an exact time for the King Butterfly case."

"Leader, I'm not shirking responsibility. If you want to say that everything in the case of our department can be solved, I think it's impossible for a human being except Christ himself. As for the case of King Butterfly, I can only say my best." My greatest strength, but I can clearly say that with the clues we currently have, it is basically impossible to solve the case."

The leader said: "Xiao Chen, it's not that I'm demanding on you, but you have to give me an explanation, right?"

Head Chen said: "From the current point of view, we really don't have the conditions to solve the case, but I don't want to close this case easily, because I always feel that there is something wrong in it."

The leader said: "That can't go on forever, don't we have other tasks?"

Head Chen said: "If there are more tasks that require us to invest in, I will put this case on hold for now, but there is no such thing at present? So can you not be so demanding on me?"

The leader said: "Okay, I will give you another period of time. If the case is still not closed, then I will file a report and apply for cancellation of the case. You don't know that the funds are tight, I..."

Head Chen said: "Don't worry, I will try not to ask you for money."

After the leader Chen came out of the leader's office, we all surrounded him, and Ma Tianxing said, "Head, what did the leader say?"

Head Chen said: "He is anxious to cancel this case, saying that this case has no investigative value, mainly because there is no hope of solving the case, and he feels that we are wasting time and money."

Ma Tianxing said: "I didn't think about the money issue, but I also think that there is no possibility of solving this case."

Head Chen said: "Let's talk about this topic at a later time. Anyway, everything has not yet reached the final conclusion."

Afterwards, we went to Teacher Han again, but although we were only separated by one night, unexpectedly, something serious happened: Teacher Han was beaten.We rushed to the hospital immediately.

Head Chen said: "Mr. Han, how could you be beaten up like this? Because of what?"

Teacher Han was still very calm and said: "This must be a misunderstanding, I don't know those people at all, do you think I am the kind of person who causes trouble?"

Head Chen said: "That's true, but your injury is indeed not serious, have you called the police?"

Teacher Han said: "I reported it, and the school is also involved in the investigation. I think the assailant will be caught soon."

Judging from his appearance, one can guess that the recent investigation is basically going to waste.Just as we comforted Mr. Han and were about to leave, suddenly a few people came straight up from the entrance of the hospital. Judging from their faces, these people were not good people.

One of the middle-aged people looked around at Teacher Han and said, "Old Han, why did you become like this, tell me who did it?"

Teacher Han smiled slightly and said, "How do I know, the ones who beat me were all young lads."

The man shook his head and said: "How can these people be so vicious? It's unreasonable to beat an intellectual like this. What about the leader of your school? I want to have a good talk with him."

A teacher from Teacher Han's school who accompanied him to see a doctor said: "Of course we will not take this matter lightly. The murderer will definitely be brought to justice."

The man laughed and said: "The teacher just speaks differently, so gentle, what's the matter with you, do you know who I am?"

Teacher Han said: "Zhao San, isn't it unreasonable for you to do this? Don't think that I don't know who asked someone to beat me."

Zhao San laughed and said, "That's right, you old Han is the smartest, so what, who told you that you have no evidence? Guessing a fart is useless."

Head Chen stepped forward and said, "Sir, may I have your name?"

Zhao San looked at Captain Chen with a fierce look on his face, and said, "I'm talking here, what kind of onion are you? Do you know who I am? I'm looking for death!"

Teacher Han said: "Teacher Chen, this matter has nothing to do with you, it is my private matter, please don't meddle in my own business."

Zhao San's complexion changed: "What are you talking about, this person is the head of the regiment?"

Head Chen said: "Why, the ruffian is afraid of people in the army besides the police station?"

Head Chen said: "Mr. Han, who is the other party?"

Teacher Han said: "You saw it too, it's just a bunch of local ruffians."

Head Chen said: "You are a cultural person, how could you get involved with such a thing?"

Teacher Han said: "Don't mention it, it's also for specimens. I have several rare species of butterflies in my hand. This guy doesn't know where he got the news, so he wants to buy mine, but I didn't do this for If he makes money, he will harass me endlessly."

Head Chen said: "Why is there such a bastard, you didn't call the police to arrest him?"

Teacher Han said: "I can't afford to offend this kind of person, and he didn't do anything too much, just think about it."

Head Chen said: "It's not too much to beat you like this, Mr. Han, you can bear it too much, right?"

Teacher Han said, "What should I do? I'm just a teacher, so what can I tell these bastards?"

Head Chen said: "This kind of person is really worthless, bullying anyone should not bully scholars."

Teacher Han waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to find that butterfly these two days, forgive me."

Head Chen said: "It's okay, it's a special situation, we can understand, then let's contact you when you feel recovered."

After getting out of the hospital, Captain Chen made a phone call and asked someone to check Zhao San's real identity for him.After a while, the other party called back: Zhao San, whose name is Zhao Youtian, runs a convoy of earthworks by himself. He has been dealt with by the public security organs many times for hooliganism such as arranging crowds to fight, picking quarrels and provoking troubles. He is a complete hooligan.However, in recent years, there has not been any new criminal record, which is considered good.

Head Chen said: "These two people should have no connection in terms of their identities and backgrounds, but why did Zhao San come to trouble Mr. Han and beat him up like this? How could Mr. Han let him go so easily?" He, from a common sense point of view, this does not conform to a person's normal thinking."

I said: "He has already made it very clear. What can an intellectual do to catch this kind of bastard. Even if you call the police, you can't catch him without evidence. This is the helplessness of ordinary people, and there is no way to do it."

Head Chen said: "I don't think so. People beat up like this, and they don't mean to accuse the other party at all. This is definitely not cowardice. And judging from the sentence left by Zhao San before leaving, there seems to be something between them. Gu Ge, to be honest, if my feeling is correct, Mr. Han seems to be more guilty of this hooligan, and it is absolutely impossible for him to talk about the problem of butterflies. It is impossible for a person like Zhao San to have this kind of leisure, chatting endlessly about insect specimens deal with people."

Ma Tianxing said: "Don't worry about him, this matter is not in our hands, it's just a personal grievance between the two of them. Since Mr. Han himself doesn't want us to meddle in this matter, why should we bother?"

Head Chen smiled and said, "Okay, pony, I've learned a lot these years, so I know how to use idioms."

Ma Tianxing said: "Look at what you said, I have an authentic university degree, and I know a little bit of idioms. There is nothing worthy of your envy."

While joking, Captain Chen's phone rang, he took it out and said, "It's Lao Tang's, don't get into any trouble again."

After finishing speaking, the phone was connected, and Lao Tang said in a loud voice, "Old Chen, what are you doing?"

Head Chen said: "I'm still working on that case, what's going on with you, should the case be closed?"

Lao Tang said: "Don't mention it. Just now I thought it would calm down for a while, but another murder case happened again. Lao Chen, this is the third murder case in five days. I am really going to collapse."

Head Chen said: "What, there is another life lawsuit. Tell me what happened. It can't be that the method is particularly strange, and the deceased died inexplicably, right?"

Lao Tang said: "Some details are still uncertain, but the strange thing is that it is certain, and the identity of the deceased was also a rich man, a boss of a cable agency, who was killed by a bomb at home last night."

Head Chen said: "What, bombs are still used to kill people in this society? Are you right in your analysis?"

Lao Tang said: "Absolutely not. The bomb was cleverly placed in the computer, but how to activate the bomb has not yet been found out. In addition, the deceased was at home alone last night, without his wife and children. I really don't know how the murderer did it." With insight into these situations, detonating the bomb just killed the rich man."

Head Chen said: "There's nothing surprising about this. Fixed-point surveillance is enough. It's not impossible to make remote-controlled bombs."

Lao Tang said: "Old Chen, I believe what you said. There should be a real culprit behind the two dead people, and the real culprit is probably the person who planted the bomb. Although the methods vary widely, it is obvious that the murderer is a man of thought. Very strange man, and a genius, I think these three cases should be dealt with together."

Head Chen said: "It should be like this, but I can't get involved in your case, otherwise I would have asked for it a long time ago."

Lao Tang's mood was obviously very low, and he said: "Then let's do it first, in case I really lose my job, then I will go to your house every day to eat."

Head Chen said: "It's not possible. No one is sure to win against such an opponent, so you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. You have to think about it this way: once this case is solved, it will be successful and you will get a refund of [-] yuan." Even if the step says it can't be broken, it should be rewarded, it's no big deal."

Head Chen said, "How far has the investigation reached now? Have you found anything?"

Lao Tang said: "There are no valuable clues at the scene. It seems that the killer installed the bomb in the deceased's computer long ago. But we took the hard drive back to see if there is any hope of repairing it. This is the only thing we can catch at present. clue."
