In the huge conference room of the New York City Police Department, rows of police officers sit as solemnly as elementary school students listening to lectures, and projection screens are constantly being projected on the projection screen above the conference table and podium. Du Ping stood under the slide, proud and serious.

"The real important thing in the evidence in the hands of our police is actually the skull excavated at the scene. If we study carefully, we will find that each of these skulls will have post-injury marks in different places, such as the nasal bone of this skull, there are traces of cracks and compounds. Comprehensive analysis from the case of bone complex. I think all of these victims were imprisoned for more than a month before they died. The offender will beat and torture them for a month. ……”

This is the third day after Deputy Commissioner Charles met Du Pingping, and Miyako actually reached a cooperation agreement with Director Charles and the New York City Police Department. Under the agreement, Mr. Du is now employed by the New York City Police as a consultant to coordinate the investigation and detection of the incident. Then Daniel soon received exciting good news: they had confirmed the true identity of the Lady Eve. So the New York City police, who took the initiative in this case for the first time, stood up and showed everyone that they had full authority to take over the incident. Today is one of the speeches of Du Pingping as a consultant.

"Considering that the victims were all Caucasian and blonde women between the ages of 20 and 30, I believe that the perpetrators should be adult males between the ages of 35 and 45, of Caucasian and Ashkenazi descent. On the outside, it seems that he is rigorous and serious, methodical, and has a good personality, which makes it easy for people to be trusted. And when no one is around, they will have a very bad temper and like to use their fists to release pressure. This could have come from his father, who probably liked to drink and fight to release his emotions, and should have been in prison for violent injuries. This caused him great psychological damage as a child. ……”

In fact, in the hotel room before, Du Ping has already shown and talked about it for Daniel and Henry, but this time in order to show the seriousness, seriousness and science of the New York City police's case, Du Ping needs to tell it again and tell everyone here, including those FBI agents who are sitting together at this time, such as: Aaron and Lisa.

In the slide behind Du Ping, the victim suddenly lined up, forming a time curve. Du Pingping pointed at one place with a laser pointer.

"I think that during this time period, the perpetrator must have had a major accident. Either get caught, be hospitalized, or whatever. That's why there's up to half a year missing. ”

The slide was then replaced with a skull and a reconstructed portrait.

"This person is also very crucial, I will name her Eve? A successful, mature criminal cannot be made at once." He needs a process of growth and learning. And the first victim is often the one with the most clues. Who is our first victim in this case? I think it's her! If we pay attention, we will find that the wound on her skull is healed and wounded. This shows that she was not imprisoned for only a month. May be longer. I even think that she is the relative of the offender, such as wife, mother, sister, etc. She may have been a lady who used to go in and out of the hospital before her death, but the reason was bumped, bumped, bumped, bumped, but the doctor who treated her must remember her. Because she is a person who often goes in and out of the hospital. Maybe the doctor or nurse has called the police for this, and the police have also come to the door to check the matter. Then, one day, she disappeared. ……”

After Du Ping's speech, Daniel Reagan walked out and took Du Ping's place, opening another projection file in front of the audience.

Daniel's eyes first nodded to Du Pingping, who had already stepped off the podium, to express his gratitude, "Thank you Professor Du for your wonderful explanation and explanation! Based on Professor Du's inference and analysis, our New York City police focused on the search of this Ms. Eve, and after two days of continuous efforts and diffusion search, we finally learned the identity of this Ms. Eve from a retired surgeon! Just as Professor Du initially guessed, this is a woman who has never reported her disappearance......

……

…………………………

At the end of the conference room, countless police detectives rushed out, full of desire and confidence to fight. Du Pingping was not a police officer in New York City, so he could not have been involved in this specific operation, so he just prepared his own materials and prepared to return to the hotel where he was staying again. At this time, Lisa was in front and Aaron was behind, and the two came to Du Ping.

Lisa's eyes were full of anger at the betrayer, "How can you do this! How can you cooperate with the New York City police privately and provide them with such information......"

Before Lisa's words were finished, Miyako, who was next to Du Pingping, had already taken over the right to talk about this face-to-face confrontation.

Miyako, "Agent Lisa, please pay attention to your words!" The New York City Police are also the Yukoku Police Force, and they are also an important force in charge of this incident. And everything we do is in accordance with the agreement between the two parties......"

Then, Mimiko, who had been prepared for a long time, explained to Lisa the legality of Du Ping's actions in the posture of a very professional negotiator. According to Miyako's explanation, the agreement between Du and the FBI was actually completed as early as when Du completed the restoration of 28 victims' skulls for the FBI. Therefore, in the case that the previous agreement has been completed, the latter agreement does not conflict with the previous agreement, and there is no mutual interference clause, Du Ping has the right to sign other service agreements with any party.

Miyako concludes her own words, "...... Agent Lisa doesn't think that anyone in the world who works with the FBI once will be an FBI person for the rest of his life, right?"

Lisa, "But...... You guys...... New York City Police ...... FBI……”

Lisa was overwhelmed by Mimiko, and she couldn't say a complete word when she opened her mouth several times. In fact, what she meant was understood by everyone present. That is: But you can't help the New York police fight the FBI!

Mimiko smiled, "May I ask Agent Lisa, did we violate the agreement between the two parties? And now it may not be us who is really violating the agreement between the two parties, but you, right?"

The tragedy of life is like this, when you think you are the most reasonable party, and suddenly you find that your side is the most unreasonable party in the whole incident. If the FBI had released Du Pingping and his party back to China as soon as possible in accordance with the agreement between the two sides, then the current problem would not have occurred at all.

While Lisa was speechless, Aaron walked out and smiled kindly at Du.

Aaron, "Professor Du, I really admire your ability and level, you are not only a scientist who can study science, but also a detective master who combines science with practice. I wonder if we have a chance to work together again?"

Du Fairness looked at Aaron with a smile, and without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Du Fairness was not good at facing Aaron coldly like an enemy. And Du Pingping also thinks in private that his behavior on his side is not very kind in some sense.

Du Ping was surprised, "We still have a chance to cooperate?"

Aaron glanced back at Lisa, "We at the FBI are planning to establish a Crime Incident Research and Analysis Laboratory, which is a higher level of organization than all field investigation teams, responsible for theoretical, scientific guidance and analysis of all complex and difficult criminal incidents that arise, and can even directly intervene in the investigation." Lisa and I will be part of this group, and we very much hope that Professor Du will join our team. ”

Du Pingping didn't quite understand the thinking logic of the people of Tang Guo, the two sides have been so unhappy now, can they continue to cooperate? Moreover, he has a good harvest of career, money, and family in the Imperial University, why did he come to Tang to serve and work for the FBI.

Du Ping looked at Mimiko, and the meaning was obvious: It's up to you to help me get them done!

Miyako smiled and looked directly at Aaron, "To be calm, our side doesn't think that your plan can do us any good and help ......"

……

The result of simple negotiations between the two sides ended in failure. Unlike Lisa, who has always been angry, Aaron has always been kind and friendly, and even if the new agreement is almost outright refused, he does not show any anger or impoliteness.

Return to the hotel for pick-up.

"When are we going to go back home?"

Miyako smiled, "Don't worry! Mr. Koishikawa didn't rush you." We still have time, and now it should be time to reap the fruits of victory, and we will not return home yet. ”

Du Pingping, "Fushan Run, can they go back first? In fact, there is nothing for them here, they can go back early, and they can help me sort out a document first." ”

Miyako, "This should be fine. ”

…………………………

It is a civilized middle-class neighborhood in the city, with clean, well-groomed roads and tall trees on both sides, so the lawns of the rooms are neatly manicured, and the beautiful houses are elegantly lined up on both sides of the road.

Several police cars suddenly drove into this peaceful world.

The police car stopped outside the lawn of one of the small buildings with a clear target, and one by one the policemen in different uniforms kept coming out and began to surround and control the house in a fan-shape. Daniel and Henry were the last two to get out of their cars, and Daniel looked around, where the police had tactically controlled all possible escapes throughout the house from several quarters. Daniel then walked slowly to the door of the two-story building with Henry, and then rang the doorbell.

The doorbell rang crisply inside, and everyone waited quietly, waiting for all kinds of possibilities. The best possible thing is that the suspect took the initiative to open the door and walk out. The worst possibility seems to be the tense and exciting escape and pursuit in the movie. At this time, anything is possible. Daniel and his colleagues, at this time, it is like a Pandora's box has been activated, the magic box is already activating, but the moment it is not really opened, you never know what kind of surprise it will give.

A few minutes had passed, and Henry, who was beside Daniel, had begun to give Daniel a look and signaled that he should ring the doorbell again. Daniel felt that Henry's suggestion was reasonable, and was about to press it again, when the door opened, and a clean, neat middle-aged white male stood in front of the two of them. It's like a university professor's polite feeling, and you can't tell that this might be a murderer.

Daniel first showed off his badge, then pulled out a court approval.

Daniel, "Mr. Wolfe?"

Man, "Yes." ”

Daniel, "This is the court's arrest warrant, I want you to come with me now." ”

…………………………

In the interrogation room, in the brightly lit room, the neatly dressed Mr. Wolf still sat calmly, unaware that it had been 14 hours after the interrogation. After 14 hours of continuous interrogation, the police still have made no progress.

Interrogation is a contest of will, physical strength, intelligence, and endurance between a police detective and a criminal. Although the police in New York City had sent their most experienced agents to fight him for a long time, Mr. Wolf was not defeated. On the contrary, it seems to have endless stamina. The police investigation into Mr. Wolf has been concluded, but the evidence is not direct and cannot be directly convicted. Moreover, legally speaking, the closure of a case without any confession from the criminal is actually incomplete.

Du Ping has already sent away 3 people from Fukuyama Run. This time, the FBI no longer controls the individual behavior of Du Pingping and his party, but Du Pingping and Mimiko do not want to leave immediately at this time.

Outside the single-sided glass, Du Pingping, Miyako, and Lisa were quietly watching the interrogation inside. At this time, the interrogation inside is none other than the familiar detectives Daniel and Henry. Across the steel interrogation table, Daniel placed a photograph on the table and pushed it to the suspect, who was sitting quietly. After more than ten hours of fraudulent interrogation, Daniel's side is ready to show some real evidence from his side, in order to effectively break the psychological defense line of the crime in front of him.

Daniel, "Do you know this guy?"

This is a photo of Mrs. Wolfe collected by the police, and the person in the photo is not much different from the restored portrait of Du Pingping.

Wolf looked at the picture with a cooperative, submissive, and friendly gaze, and from the attitude, you could not tell that it was a stubborn crime to the end.

Wolf nodded, and looked a little excited, "Yes." My wife, Alicia Vikander, I haven't seen her in 12 years. Where is she?"

Daniel didn't have a hint of indifference on his face, "Don't you know she's there?"

Wolf shook his head, his eyes serious and sincere, "I don't know. I really miss her. Please let me know if you know she is there. ”

Daniel, "You really don't know? 12 years ago, Alicia and your wife, who had been tormented by you, finally did not resist your torture this time and died in front of you. And then, what did you do? We all know that. Don't you want to talk to us about something?"

Wolfe, "She's dead?"

Wolfe's eyes were foggy, and then suddenly sober again.

Wolf was sure and serious, "It can't be! She'll be back sooner or later, and I'll wait for her." ”

Daniel put another photograph on the table and pushed it in front of the suspect, a picture of a human skull. Then another report was produced.

Daniel, "Don't you remember? This is the scar you broke her nose bone in September '70, and this! One day in December, you punched her and you helped her change three teeth, and you broke this mandible. ……”

Daniel's fingers slid along the scars marked on the photographs of the skull, patiently explaining the suspect's stories about the scars.

Daniel began to summarize, "...... Don't deny that this is your wife. Here are the medical records from the hospital!"

A file box was placed in front of Wolfe.

Daniel, "I'm a police expert on a skull reconstruction. ”

A restored photograph of Du Fair was pushed in front of Wolfe.

Daniel pressed his hands on the table, his whole body showing great momentum and confidence, "Look! Luck doesn't work. Let's have a good talk!"

Wolfe's eyes were misty, sober, sober, and then suddenly regained his unhurried calm again, "No! this is not Ellie! She just ran away from home one night after a fight with me! she will come back! This person you're taking is not Ellie!"

……

The case stalled again and to no avail. Lisa, who was outside the window, looked at Du Ping.

Lisa, "Du fair, what do you see?"

"That's him!" What about other aspects of the police investigation?"

Lisa, "still no progress, searched his house and the property in his name, and found no specific place to detain him." No evidence of practical use was found. With this little evidence alone, it is impossible to convict him. I don't know, what else does Mr. Du Pingping have here?"

Du Fair looked at Lisa with a smile, "I'm a consultant to the New York City Police now, and I'm also an advisor to the New York City Police when I appear here." I thought ......"

Lisa interrupted Du Fair's statement, "The FBI is ready to withdraw from this incident! It's just the responsibility of being an agent, and I don't want to fall into our hands to commit crimes, because of our incompetence and easy escape." So now we have the same interests as the NYC police, and we don't mind helping them, just like they helped us before. ”

Du Pingping looked at Lisa seriously, and Lisa's whole face showed an aura called sincerity.

Du Ping nodded, "If you want me to give advice, you must give me enough information." I need to go to his house and do a search, and the relevant information must be released to me. Is that okay?"

Lisa, "There should be no problem. If within 48 hours, we can't get enough evidence to convict him. We can only release him. The interests of the FBI and the NYPD are aligned on this point. ”

Du fair, "Okay then!"

Lisa left to coordinate, and Du Ping continued to look into the interrogation room. The interrogation inside is still ongoing.

Another picture was shoved in front of Wolf by Daniel.

Daniel, "This person knows, right?"

Wolfe, "Recognize. Eva Nurse, I was hospitalized for a car accident five years ago and was nursed by her for half a year, a very nice person. ”

Another photograph of the skull was shoved in front of Wolf.

Daniel, "How long are you going to be ready?"

Wolfe, "I'm sorry, officer! I don't know what you want to know. ”
