17.9 NYU Shadow II
At NYU, on the road from law school to business school, Suzuki Sawa, walking briskly, looking urgent and nervous. Due to a woman's intuition, Suzuki always felt like someone was behind her, quietly following her. But when Suzuki stopped to look behind him, there was only an empty path and trees on both sides of the road with no end in sight.
Suzuki asked tentatively, "Is there anyone?"
There was no movement.
This situation did not make Suzuki feel safe, but instead increased his pace more nervously and walked quickly towards his goal, the girl's apartment building. It may be due to the incident that Du Fair specially reminded Suzuki of Sunaba when it came out. The fact that serial arsonist likes to do something to a couple has already scared Suzuki Sawa. This makes Suzuki always feel like there is someone behind him quietly and step by step.
Suddenly, Suzuki Sawa, who was walking forward, made a 180-degree turn without warning, and his whole face turned to his back. Then she saw, and she saw in the distance a black figure disappearing into the woods by the roadside like a frightened deer.
Nervous panting!
Uncontrollable heartbeat!
Suzuki Sappa suddenly turned around and began to stride towards his small building.
Suzuki shouted for help as he ran, "Help, help!"
…………………………
In Du Pingping's apartment room, Du Pingping's mobile phone, which was discussing the case with Lisa, suddenly rang. Du Fair's mobile phone is used to being put aside on the shoe cabinet, Du Fair walked over, picked up the phone, and saw that the mobile phone number displayed on the phone turned out to be the mobile phone number of Suzuki Sawa's roommate Joanna. Although he was a little confused, Du Ping still answered the phone.
Du Pingping's voice was calm, "What's the matter?" Joanna?"
Joanna's voice was urgent, "Suzuki is injured!"
Du Pingping's voice was urgent, "What's going on?"
At the same time, Du Ping's face immediately turned cold.
Joanna," said Bell, was followed when she returned! She was so frightened that she ran as hard as she could, and fell a few times on the way, and when she came back she found that her ankle was red and swollen. ”
Hearing that nothing major happened, Du Pingping finally put his mind at ease.
Du Ping, "You take care of the bell, I'll go over right away." ”
Joanna, "Du Fair?"
Du Ping, "What's the matter?"
Joanna," Bell said, the arsonist might have targeted couples, telling us to be careful. Is that really the case?"
Du Pingping, "This is just my guess, but just in case, everyone should be careful!"
Joanna, "Got it! We'll be careful." ”
Putting down the phone, Du Ping looked at Lisa.
"When Sand Feather went back, he found that someone was following him, and he suspected that it was the arsonist. I'm going to check it out. ”
Lisa, "Let's go together!"
…………………………
The path leading to Suzuki and her dormitory is the most common path taken by Du Ping and Suzuki because it is convenient and closer. Du Ping was in front and Lisa was behind, and the two walked quickly towards Suzuki Sawa's small building. Maybe Du Ping didn't pay attention to it, Du Ping's pace was getting faster and faster, and he slowly left Lisa, who had always thought he was walking fast, behind.
To be honest, this may be the mysterious person who killed the arsonist and really made Du Ping anxious. Unexpectedly, this mysterious person had already targeted his girlfriend Suzuki Sawa, which made the nameless anger of Du Ping's whole body rise seriously, and the small universe on his body was absolutely ready to explode with all his might.
Damn the guys!
Du Fair and Lisa walked quickly to Suzuki Sawa's small building. Suddenly, Du Pingping, who was walking, stopped and bent down.
Lisa, "What's wrong?"
"What do you think this looks like?"
Du Pingping pointed to a mark on the road in front of him and asked Lisa.
Lisa, "The mark left by a person walking at high speed when he suddenly turned around on the spot. That's right, that's right. ”
Du Fair, "Very good!"
Du Ping turned and walked towards the way he had come, moving little by little, searching inch by inch. Lisa immediately understood that this was the trace of the mysterious person who was following Suzuki Saha, and she also ran over and joined the search.
Sure enough, Suzuki Sawa didn't lie to us, someone was following her!"
Du Pingping pointed to a few marks on the roadside lawn and said to Lisa. Then, crouch down and carefully inspect and measure the appearance and size of the footprint.
Lisa, "What's the situation?"
"A woman! very good, a woman, 167-173 tall, 50-55 kilograms, between 20-35 years old, healthy, athletic!"
Lisa, "Can't be sure it's the arsonist, right?"
"It's okay, let's go and walk around the building where the fire broke out the night before yesterday!"
At this time, Du Pingping's heart has basically determined that the person who tracked Suzuki Sappa is the person who was tracked by Du Pingping that night. It's just that Du Pingping didn't expect that after she was scared away by herself, she still didn't give up.
Lisa, "Aren't we going to see your girlfriend?"
"No, I think catching the murderer will comfort her more!" and make her feel safer. ”
Du Pingping's figure had disappeared in the distance, and Lisa thought about it and had to quickly take various photos and measurements on the ground, and then chased after Du Pingping's figure.
Du Pingping did not have the authorization to enter the crime scene before, so there has been no way to confirm whether the arson is a mysterious person who is anti-stalking. This time, with Lisa by his side, Du Ping smoothly entered the boy's apartment where the fire had just occurred, a small two-story building. It was a small building with a wooden structure, so the destructive power of the fire was so severe that it was almost completely destroyed and turned into a small black and charcoal building. So it's possible to find any useful clues from the building.
As soon as he saw the situation here, Du Ping turned around and searched in the grove near this small building. According to Du Ping's knowledge of the mysterious person, if it was really her arson that night, then she would definitely stay and observe in the grove outside this small building.
Although he had determined the direction and goal he was looking for, due to the firefighting operation the night before, all the places outside this small building were basically trampled into a mess by the people who came to fight the fire and the onlookers, and it was impossible to find any useful clues.
When Lisa sighed and was about to give up, she found that Du Ping was still there bent down and looking carefully and seriously.
Can it really be found?
While Lisa deeply suspected that Du Pingping's current behavior might just be a useless exercise, she also deeply felt Du Pingping's anger and anger.
Du Fairness is obviously the kind of guy who is easily swayed by feelings, Lisa sighed, and took back the words she wanted to persuade Du Fairness into her mouth.
Like a hard-working hound, Du Ping searched everywhere near this small building. Of course, there will be school police officers and patrol officers who are still on duty here in the middle to come and ask, but they are all dealt with by Lisa.
Half an hour passed
An hour passed
An hour and a half passed
Two hours passed
……
Just when Lisa thought that this kind of search was impossible and was about to come over to persuade Du Ping to give up, Du Ping suddenly straightened his waist excitedly and pointed to Lisa half of the footprints behind an inconspicuous tree in this grove.
"That's her! It should be basically confirmed by now that she is the arsonist! I now need the police to conduct an initial search and investigation based on the characteristics of the criminals we have now!"
After more than two hours of searching, in the small forest outside the building where the fire broke out, among the seemingly impossible footprints of many people, Du Pingping really found that footprint! After Lisa was slightly surprised, she looked at Du Pingping with a serious attitude, because Lisa understood that if the crime had been confirmed, then the next step was to nervously search for the battle time for the continuous arson murderer!
Lisa was slightly excited, "Got it, you can say it!"
Du Ping, "female, height 167-173, weight 50-55 kg, between 20-25 years old, introverted, living alone. There is a history of serious emotional damage, and many people should have an impression that they had a violent quarrel when they broke up with their previous boyfriend. There is a serious religious belief that there will probably be something between the necklaces of a cross in the hand at any time. In the course of speaking, I will often talk about divine allegory, divine punishment, and so on. Good health, good movements, no bad habits!"
Lisa, "Anything else?"
Du Ping thought for a while and continued to add, "I can only master these now, and if I add more, I may have taken classes in the classroom where there were 2-3 arson cases at the earliest." ”
Lisa, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"
"I'm going to go see Sand Feather first." ”
…………………………
The New York City Police Department is stationed in the NYU arson homicide case office at NYU, and several police detectives are conducting an exchange and discussion activity about the case. Suddenly, a phone call came in, and the phone rang by Daniel, a first-class police detective who Du Pingping once knew. Daniel picked up his mobile phone, and when he saw the mobile phone number, he made an apologetic gesture to his colleagues, and ran outside the office with his mobile phone to answer the call that he couldn't go unanswered.
As soon as Daniel left, the whole office was silent, and no one had the idea of continuing to speak, because here Daniel was their key gentleman and their leader. Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that their search has not progressed much in the past two days, because they also encounter the same problem that Mr. Mark, a private detective hired by NYU President Joe, is that the serial arsonist has been upgraded to a journeyman, and there are not many information and clues that are really left for these detectives. According to the characteristic profiles of arsonists in general, nothing was found among the hundreds of people who could be perpetrators.
They are not Du Fair, nor are they Mr. Mark. They were a task force backed by a powerful New York City police department, so in just two days, they had already made a preliminary search of hundreds of people who might qualify for serial arsonist profiles. However, the results obtained are not encouraging, and it can even be said that there is no progress.
So after Daniel went out, the detectives of the task force at this time were silent, thinking about their own ideas and clues.
In thinking, time always passes a lot. It didn't take long for Daniel to push the door back to the office in this meeting. Daniel first showed everyone a look that he couldn't believe before he began to state something.
Daniel, "The FBI has identified the basic characteristics of the offender and is asking for an initial census?"
Daniel's partner, Henry, was also surprised.
Henry, "Who's that? It's not a guess!"
Daniel, "This man, you know. ”
Henry, "Who?"
Daniel, "Lisa, Lisa Langse." ”
Henry, "That hot chick in the FBI?"
Daniel, "That's her!"
Henry thought for a moment, "Then the matter will be troublesome, that girl still has some ability." But is she so at stake? She can have clues when we are all tied up? And this is our New York police territory, and we should have entered before her!"
Daniel first issued an order, "Right now, let's arrange for a census! ”
Henry, "You're so sure of her judgment?"
Daniel, "because she said it was Du who found out." ”
Henry looked surprised, "Du?
Daniel, "Two years ago, the slaughterhouse white bone head case, the Professor Du from the east-flowing ball, the boy who was so young that people were scared. ”
Henry, "That genius boy?"
Daniel, "Yes. ”
Henry, "How did he end up here?"
Daniel, "That's what I want to know, but now please work right away! If that kid is the result, it's very, very likely!"
Henry nodded, "Okay, I'll go arrange work now!"
The two leaders of the interim group of experts agreed, and the others moved quickly.
…………………………
In the principal's office, Mr. Mark, a private detective hired by the president of NYU University, also received news from the police.
Mark looked surprised, "How can they be identified as female? 167-173 tall, 50-55 kilograms, 20-25 years old, introverted, living alone." There is a history of serious emotional damage, and many people should have an impression that they had a violent quarrel when they broke up with their previous boyfriend. There is a serious religious belief that there will probably be something between the necklaces of a cross in the hand at any time. In the course of speaking, I will often talk about divine allegory, divine punishment, and so on. Good health, good movements, no bad habits!"
Mark reads the document in his hand and keeps saying "impossible" in his mouth
Mark couldn't believe it, "How can it be a woman? This is not in accordance with objective laws!"
Headmaster Joe came to his friend Mark and asked, "Do you think the police have misjudged?"
Mark seemed to say to himself, "There is no direct evidence, just because of one person's speculation, is the police too arbitrary!"
Joe pointed to the corner of the document, which was marked with the person from whom it was issued, "This is not the opinion of an FBI agent. ”
Mark looked proud, "The FBI is nothing! FBI agents are not even great!"
Joe took the document and read it carefully, "There's also the agent's name written here, Lisa Launces. Do you know her?
Mark shook his head, "I don't know! As far as arson is concerned, men can experience a sense of power that they are very powerful." But for women, it will only be a deep psychological burden. Women rarely commit arson except for revenge! They must be mistaken. Very well, I'm going out now! Old friend, can you send me two of your school policemen?"
Joe, "No problem. ”
…………………………
The small building where Suzuki Sawa lives, the room that belongs to Suzuki Sawa, Joanna looks at Du Fair angrily.
Joanna, "Why did you come, do you have a bell in your heart?"
Suzuki Sanda, "Don't do that, Joanna. Fairness must have something to do to make him come so late. ”
Joanna, "Lingling, you are really, and you can't be so used to being a boyfriend." ”
……
Du Ping felt that he had done something wrong, so he waited until Joanna lost her temper before he began to explain.
"Someone did follow the bell. ”
Joanna, "What?"
"On the way back from Suzu, I found the footprints of the one who followed Suzu. ”
Joanna, "Caught him already?"
Du fair, "No. And it's not him, it's her. Judging from the footprint, it should be a woman between 167-173 and weighing between 50-55 kilograms. And I went to the scene of the fire the night before to make sure that this woman was the murderer and arsonist. ”
Suzuki Sawa, "Ahhh
Although I already had this understanding in my heart, but when it was really implemented, Suzuki Sawa was still shocked. Joanna, Catherine, and Aishwarya also held Suzuki's hand tightly.
"Don't worry, Agent Lisa has already arranged for manpower to find him." I believe that this woman will be found soon, so that everyone will be really safe. ”
Catherine, "It seems that Du Ping is still very careful in doing things!"
Catherine, the eldest sister of Suzuki's Sawata dormitory, immediately made a final decision about Du's performance.
Catherine, "What should we do next?"
"It seems that this arsonist has indeed set his sights on the bell, so it is better for everyone to be careful before that person is actually caught." ”
Aishwarya nervously covered her little mouth.
Aishwarya, "Sounds terrible. Do we need to go out and hide?"
"Wait, I'm sure we'll be able to catch the arsonist soon." And I believe that as long as there is no public show of affection to provoke the arsonist, the arsonist should not easily attack others. ”
Catherine, "Okay! We're going to listen to Du Fair, who is an expert. Joanna is in charge of taking care of Suzu, Joanna has pushed all the emotional things in the past two days, don't let that boy chase here, in case it provokes that arsonist psychopath. Aishwarya and I, we walked around the neighborhood in groups, beware of strangers approaching. ”
