Chapter 30: The Devil's Creed
A day later, in the afternoon at a tavern not far from Gao Liang's house, I looked at Gao Liang with a tired face and bloodshot eyes, and poured him a full glass of wine.
He raised his glass and said, "Boss, thank you for your care over the past month, apprentice, I will toast you now." ”
"Xiao Luo, go to the city bureau and work hard, don't embarrass your master and me. ”
The two of them raised their glasses and drank them all!
These days, Gao Liang has been working day and night to cooperate with his colleagues in the city bureau to deal with the case and appease the victim's family.
didn't have a good rest, today's wine is counted as a resignation wine, and it is also considered a reward bar for his old man.
I'm a poor policeman, so I can only arrange to invite me at a tavern.
I don't have any deep friends when I come to Dongwan, Gao Liang, I am also a friend of teachers and friends!
Looking at his red eyes, I knew that he was still uncomfortable with Gao Xiaomi's affairs, and I also had some doubts about the above arrangement, how could Gao Liang say that it was also the victim's family, and he even arranged for Gao Liang to appease the emotions of the other victims' families.
So who will appease him?
After Gao Liang put down his wine glass, he said to me: "Xiao Luo, let's talk about cannibalism today." ”
As soon as he said this, my heart couldn't help but tremble.
The diners who were dining next to them also turned around and looked at this side with strange eyes.
Talking about cannibalism during dinner, is there something wrong with these two people?
However, when they saw the uniforms on us, they didn't say anything, because the topic of conversation between the two policemen, no matter how taboo it was, others would not ask too much.
I can't figure out why Gao Liang brought up this topic with me, because of Gao Xiaoxiao's fans, I even carefully avoided questions about the case.
He actually took the initiative to come to me to say, has he already opened his heart knot?
Could it be so fast?
I lowered my head and poured my wine and said, "Master, why don't we change the subject, it's not good to talk about this at dinner now......"
"Cannibalism is more common than people think, and it's not just for psychopaths. According to the motivation of cannibalism, cannibalism can be divided into three categories: survival cannibalism, learned cannibalism, and other needs. Survival cannibalism, such as cannibalism in times of famine, cannibalism in order to survive, learned cannibalism, such as some uncivilized tribes in remote areas, because it is their tradition, may be to intimidate enemies, or some kind of religious ritual, and cannibalism serial killers, mainly in the third category, such as the Japanese ogre Sagawa Kazumasa, who believes that the best way to show love to a woman is to eat her......"
Unexpectedly, Gao Liang said straight to the point.
Since he took the initiative to say it, then I had to cooperate with his topic and continue to talk together.
I frowned and said, "However, no one has ever put forward an opinion on Ao Rong's motive for cannibalism, and his cannibalism seems to be a natural manifestation, which is really a bit chilling." ”
But judging by the way he acted, it was clear that he was treating people as prey, and killing people as hunting. Most of the missing people disappeared in the morning, and Zhang Yongming only went to the park in the afternoon to play chess, and often pushed a cart around at night. ”
Gao Liang also nodded and expressed his opinion.
I took a deep breath, and these points were so connected that it was easy to imagine the whole thing:
In the morning, Ao Rong went hunting (killing), temporarily hiding the prey (corpse) in the woods, and then went to play chess and rest in the afternoon, until late at night, he used a cart to go to the woods to pull the prey home to slaughter (dismember).
As for the question of whether Ao Rong suffers from mental illness, relevant experts gave a negative answer, saying that Ao Rong "has clear thinking and normal cognitive ability".
Here, we need to distinguish between mental illness and mental illness.
Ao Rong is not mentally ill, it does not mean that he does not have mental illness.
From his behavior, it is highly likely that Ao Rong has antisocial personality disorder.
Gao Liang said to me: "Ao Rong's violent tendencies may come from the family's genetic opinion, but it can only be a reservation, because he became an orphan when he was seven years old, and as for whether his parents were violent when they were alive, then who knows?"
yes, who knows?
But the horror of Ao Rong's case is that there are already so many victims before it is revealed, and there are still many mysteries that remain unsolved until the end.
And the moment the truth is revealed, I believe it can make many people's hearts chill: horror has always been around us, and we have been unaware, an ogre swaggers to communicate with us every day, and we smile, but when you laugh and laugh, you don't know, maybe you will be the next to be eaten......
I lowered my voice and said to Gao Liang: "Boss, although Ao Rong was arrested, don't you think that in fact, the most cruel demon in the East Bay is not Ao Rong?"
His hand trembled, and the dish caught in the chopsticks almost fell on the table.
He raised his head and stared at me with straight eyes: "Xiao Luo, what do you want to say?"
"Since the first person disappeared, so many people have disappeared in the East Bay for five years, why have we not opened a case for investigation from beginning to end? Is it our dereliction of duty, or is there a criminal hand on our head blocking the way of our investigation?"
I put my own thoughts out of the tray.
A gleam flashed in Gao Liang's eyes, and then he let out a long sigh: "Xiao Luo, this is what I am worried about for the teacher, but I didn't expect it to happen." ”
I looked at him in confusion, wondering why he said that.
Of course he understood what I meant, and according to the meaning of his words, he actually saw the problem, but although he saw the problem, he didn't want to touch it.
That's where I wondered.
As a police officer, you should be jealous and hateful, and if you find a problem, you must raise it, even if there is a problem with your own internal personnel, you can't turn a blind eye, this is the bottom line of the police.
Gao Liang said to me: "I used to be like you when I was young, I was full of spirit, I felt that this world is a world of justice, and when the police have to ask for the people's lives and eliminate harm for the people, but when you find that the pest is inside us, your outlook on life may be completely overturned, at that time, do you still have the courage to break your wrist?"
We were all silent.
It is easy to say that a strong man breaks his wrist, but when his energy is as small as an ant, you will find that the elephant in front of you, you may not be able to push it away with all your life's strength.
That's the reality!
I remember the night before my girlfriend's accident three years ago.
She put her arms around me, as if she had a premonition that something was going to happen, her eyes were moist, but she didn't cry, she said to me, "Husband, in your opinion, in our world, is faith or life important?"
"Fool, of course life is important, without life, what can be used to worship faith?"
I looked at her dotingly and said without hesitation.
Perhaps, at that time, I thought in my heart that my world was beautiful, because there was a beloved girl in my arms, no matter how rich or poor I was, our world was full of beauty and love.
My girlfriend kissed me lightly on the lips and said lightly: "Everyone has faith, some beliefs are simple, but some beliefs are difficult, and some people may lose their lives in order to achieve their beliefs...... But they won't regret it, because at least they worked hard for what they believed in......"
I said to her like an idiot, "Okay, don't force sensationalism here, who doesn't know that your faith is to eat delicious mangoes every day...... I promise you that I will buy you a mango orchard in the future, so that you can become the princess of the mango country, no, the queen, the queen of sweetness for a lifetime. ”
"Fool!"
The girlfriend muttered coquettishly, with a happy smile on her face, but also a touch of melancholy.
She has loved mangoes since she was a child.
Mangoes were the love of her life, and at that time, I had to bring her two mangoes on every date.
As soon as she sees a mango, her face smiles like a flower.
Even her own name is Xiao Mang, so I think it's an idiot that her belief is to be able to eat delicious mangoes every day.
But now it seems that I was a real idiot, a hopeless idiot.
My girlfriend's body was found in a mango orchard, her head was not found, even the internal organs were gone, the murderer did not leave any traces of identity, and the medical examiner judged that my girlfriend's body may have been thrown from the air.
Out of thin air!
Did the suspect drive a plane to dump the body?
But since Ao Rong's case, the biggest suspicion has naturally fallen on him, this is the best opportunity, maybe the truth about my girlfriend's death will be revealed.
Gray hair, cold eyes, calm countenance.
This is what Ao Rong, the main culprit in the "ostrich meat case" that shocked the whole country, looked in court, and he calmly listened to the people's accusations against him and answered them one by one.
When a lawyer took out two photographs and handed them to him, asked him to look at them carefully, and asked him if he had ever killed the girl in the photo.
He shook his head calmly and denied that he had killed the girl in the photo.
The lawyer told him that if he did it and flatly denied it, he would be guilty of one more degree if the police found enough evidence to charge him!
The suspect sneered: "Horizontal and vertical are all dead, do you think you can scare me? Although I am a murderer, murderers also have the creed of murderers, I will never deny what I have done, I have not done it, and you will not want to wronged me!"
There was a burst of boos in the courtroom.
I stood up amid boos, left the viewing booth, and walked out of the courthouse.
The overhead Guohui reminded me that the most vicious criminal will definitely get the punishment he deserves, and our duty is to continue to bring people like Ao Rong to justice one by one.
It's best to prevent it from happening, so that the tragedy of the high and small mystery will not happen again......
