Chapter VII: Motive for the Crime
"Hey, you're dating me and you're still thinking about your work? ”
"Nothing, just my work diary. ”
"Huh, who is this man? It is probably not a good thing to be able to be carried by you, a criminal policeman, right, he is a wanted criminal?"
"Not yet, he's just a relevant person in one of my cases, and the suspect isn't even counted, but my intuition tells me that he's very suspicious!"
"Judging from the photos, this man looks quite honest, what kind of crime did he commit? Such bad luck would fall into the hands of a workaholic like you. ”
"It's a long story, do you remember the sensational and sensational 'beheading case' a few months ago?"
"Is it the case where only six or seven victims were found, and the rest of the body has not been found, and I don't know where the murderer got them? Of course I remember such a major case, and anyway, I am also the girlfriend of the criminal policeman! I heard that the case has not been solved yet, right? It's terrible! Could it be that the person in the photo is ...... the case?"
"Yes, it's him, his name is Jin Ying, he is a taxi driver, and he is a suspicious person in that case. ”
"Could he be a murderer?"
"Of course, you can't talk nonsense until you find evidence, but he's really quite suspicious!"
"Why?"
"This golden firefly, he has an orange Elantra taxi, and he hires a driver to drive for him during the day, but he drives at night to solicit customers. Everyone knows that the income of the taxi industry during the day is not only higher than that at night, but the safety factor is also higher during the day than at night. Therefore, the average car owner hires someone to drive, unless there is other work during the day, or the hired driver drives at night. But this Jin Ying is unusual, he has no other work during the day and doesn't go out, but he chooses to drive at night. ”
“…… But this is just a habit of other people's lives, and it can't be related to criminal behavior at all, right?"
"But the driver he hired died! ”
"Ah, what was his motive for killing?"
"The driver he hired was not clean, and he was always using his hands and feet to cheat on his money! After driving the car for seven months, he took away more than 10,000 yuan -- this is still an estimated amount, and it is impossible to find out the exact figure of the car cost. How much does a taxi make in total? Do you think Jin Ying can not hate him?"
"Does Hotaru know about this?"
"Yes. I asked him, and he said that he had found out a long time ago, but he saw that the driver's family was old and young, and life was very difficult, so he just turned a blind eye and left it at that. ”
"Well, he's a good guy. ”
"How can you say that you are good?, your thoughts are always so simple! People sold you, and you are still stupid to help others count the money! Anyway, the more I investigate, the more I feel that this Jin Ying's behavior is full of suspicions. He has been under my surveillance, and the big discovery is that he lives too regularly: every night at half past six punctual with the hired driver, driving until six o'clock in the morning, and then driving to the park ......"
"Morning in the park?"
He just sat in the pavilion on the rockery, looked at the scenery, and left as soon as the sun came out. ”
"I handed over the shift with the hired driver at seven o'clock, then walked to the supermarket to buy food for the day, and went home at half past seven. When I got home, I stayed at home and didn't go out until I got out of the car again. ”
But every Wednesday afternoon, he would go out to the bookstore, buy a bunch of books in foreign languages, and finally go to the library to borrow and return the books, and then go home. He never turns around all the way, and he doesn't even go wrong in the order, and he goes out this time a week except for work. He has no relatives, no friends, no neighbors, no computer at home, let alone access to the Internet, you say he is not suspicious!"
“…… I think he is very decent and positive, not only does he live a regular life, but he is also diligent and studious, and his knowledge is quite extensive! Have you noticed any bad behavior in him?"
"It's because you don't have bad behavior that it's suspicious! Think about it, what does it mean for a young man in his twenties to smoke or drink, and he doesn't go to entertainment places, and he doesn't even get along with his neighbors?"
“…… It means that he is a righteous man and a gentleman, ah? Is this also wrong?
"Please use your brains! Haven't you heard the saying 'When the water is clear, there are no fish'? People like this, who can't find fault with it on the outside, are the most terrifying, and it's the ones who are prone to big problems behind it! Then a withdrawn person is most likely to have psychological distortions, maybe he is the perverted murderer who has killed six people in a row!"
“…… If he can't find fault with the other people, he suspects that they are perverted murderers? Even if he had a reason to kill the hired driver, what about the other five victims? What does it have to do with him? Why did it all come to him?"
"But after all, he is a taxi driver, and any kind of customer can be encountered, maybe those people offend him when they sit in his car, and besides, do those perverted murderers still need a reason to kill? I remember that the murderer of last year's series of murders just wanted to kill a man with gold teeth as soon as he saw him......
"But then again, these victims are only one head left, so how do the other murderers deal with it? How can he hide these things so that the police can't find them in the dragnet investigation? Anyway, I just think Jin Ying is the most suspicious, no matter what, I will continue to monitor him to see when he shows his feet!"
"Okay, let's not talk about that, today was supposed to be our rare date, but we've been talking about perverted murderers, corpses, heads or something...... It's a disappointment, as your girlfriend, am I really not as attractive as these topics?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! baby! I'm just a virtuous person, and I ...... when I think of work."
"Forget it, forgive you! Anyway, it's your virtue to be serious. ”
"Huh, you wore a pair of bracelets today. I usually only see you wearing one. ”
"I didn't wear a watch today...... This pair of bracelets is a relic of my mother. ”
"Pretty is beautiful, but it's far from the person who wears them......"
An orange Elantra taxi drove slowly down the street, and Jin Hotaru gently put Suzaku, who was asleep on his lap, into a matchbox as she drove.
Hotaru Kanehoru is a youkai that lives in the city and has the appearance and identity of a human. His original form was a cranberry moss. Its goal is to become a member of the gods, demons, and immortals through cultivation. Quietly mingling in the human life.
A few days ago, a "Lynx" came to the city to eat people casually. Its undisguised behavior attracts the attention of humans and causes great trouble for the golden firefly. Jin Ying, who has been ignoring idle things and concentrating on cultivation, finally couldn't help it. In the end, he joined forces with another youkai living in the city, Hanji, and with the assistance of the fire spirit Suzaku, he got rid of the kiln. As a result, he met the only friend in his life, Han Qi, who is known as "Ji Ao".
Suzaku "Yan'er" is a kind of "spirit", its level is much higher than that of "youkai", originally only the highest gods, demons, and immortals can control it, but Yan'er has been living with Jin Hotaru for other reasons. Yan'er is still a young beast with insufficient mana, and in the past few days, it has consumed too much power from fighting Qiqi, so it has been often drowsy lately.
Jin Hotaru put the sleeping Suzaku into the matchbox, put the matchbox in the pocket of his jacket with one hand, and held the steering wheel with the other, but at this moment, a person suddenly rushed out of the roadside, startling him, and in a panic, the car almost rushed out of the edge of the road.
