A small open flame dances with a seductive light, and like a newborn baby, curiously begins to explore this beautiful world, but its exploration is devastating.

The room is small, but there are a lot of flammable things, from the fire to the burning of the video equipment used for recording, it only takes a few minutes.

After watching this video, Wen Mo once again had a feeling that the murderer was not alone.

Leaving aside the fourth case of arson in the demolition of the dormitory building, because there is no key evidence in that case - the video recorded by the murderer, although it is very unlikely that there are multiple arsonists in the same city at the same time, but only because the arsonist did not extract the fees paid by the developer in time cannot be completely identified as a serial murderer.

In the remaining four cases, the murderers of the first two cases committed simple and crude methods, compared to the last two murderers carefully planned the way of starting the fire, once the design was completed, he no longer participated in the whole process, completely with the love and respect for fire, the former was more inclined to violently hurt people, and completely participated in the entire process of arson and murder. The former values 100% control, he is the master, he can do whatever he wants; The latter cares only about the process of creation, he sees fire as his own child, he is the father, responsible for bringing it into the world, and as for the subsequent development, he gives it freedom, let it play, and does not interfere with it.

Similarly, shooting a video, for the former, is to clarify his status, he is proving his sense of existence to the people of H City, venting his dissatisfaction, arson, is the simplest and most direct way to achieve the goal; For the latter, it's about showing your ingenuity. He is a designer, he is completing a work with his heart, he wants to be recognized, so he will also choose to post videos on the Internet, people like him, in real life must live a very depressed and unsmooth life, but his heart is tangled, there is a weak side, not born violent, his worship and appreciation of fire is not an overnight thing. He needed it. It's not the psychological catharsis and the satisfaction of being in control of everything. Rather, it is fascinated by the fire itself, which is a simple love.

So at the case analysis meeting that night, Wen Mo finally put forward the views of the two murderers for the first time.

"Comrades, we cannot now consider these five cases as simple serial arson cases. I think. We were faced with two arsonists. The two murderers committed their own crimes. ”

One stone stirs up a thousand waves. Immediately there was a discussion in the conference room, and all kinds of questions rushed to the face.

"Director Wen, what is the basis for your analysis? Ever since you got here. Tell us that the direction of our reconnaissance has always been aimed at a murderer, and that in your own words, it is very unlikely that there will be two arsonists at the same time and in the same place, why are you now reversing the original conclusion? ”

Even Luo Qin was a little unsure of Wen Mo's thoughts, after the third case, when the two of them talked, Wen Mo did hesitate a little, thinking that it was not the same person's doing, but didn't Wen Mo agree with her analysis later? The killer has changed in some places, which is the result of his continuous learning, so the murderer in the third case pays more attention to details. Is there anything special about this fifth case that she hasn't noticed? will let Wen Mo throw out the theory of two murderers.

She looked at Wen Mo with some concern and said nothing. She is still in the learning stage, she is not a mature psychoanalyst, since Wen Mo dares to say such a judgment, it must be reasonable, she can't help, at least she can believe in Wen Mo and not pull back.

Only by really doing this job can we appreciate the embarrassing position of criminal psychology research in the domestic police circles. In this system, the system is strict, and the emphasis is on sufficient evidence and reasonableness in handling cases, leaving very little room for the police to play on their own, and they have to resist the examination of the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the procuratorate from time to time, and the pressure is very great. Therefore, many old criminal police officers would rather stick to the old way of handling cases than try new things easily. The idea of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, is very serious,

The evidence is ironclad, especially the physical evidence, which can withstand doubts at the trial stage, but the psychological analysis, to put it bluntly, still has a very strong subjective color. As long as she is a human being, she will definitely make mistakes, even if she is as good as Wen Mo, Luo Qin also knows that she has made mistakes before.

On the first day Luo Qin came to work in the research room, Wen Mo handed her two documents, and because of this, she remembered the names of Hang Jingyan and Deng Hai, and also remembered that the work she would engage in in the future may be more stressful and more responsible than when she was a criminal policeman, because once they make a mistake, it is likely that innocent people will have to pay the price.

Therefore, seeing Wen Mo being questioned, she felt a little sad, the criminal policemen who are fighting with criminals on the front line are working hard, and they must work hard to be perfect and even harder to do a job that is not recognized by their peers, Luo Qin can't imagine that after more than ten years of work life, only behind the deviation of the analysis of two cases, how much hard work and sweat Wen Mo has been condensed, even if the high case completion rate for more than ten years, the criminal psychological analysis is still in an awkward position, Wen Mo's inner loss and helplessness, Perhaps only she herself knows.

The argument in the conference room continued, and Wen Mo didn't speak until everyone was quiet before starting his statement.

"In the four arson cases except for the arson case in the dormitory building, the murderer's style of crime is obviously different, and I said at the beginning that the possibility of two arsonists appearing at the same time and place at the same time is extremely low, but very low does not mean that there are none."

"The murderer in the first two cases was cruel, cold-blooded, violent and criminal, with a strong will and impulsive personality, and the videos he shot focused on how to harm the victims, arson was only a means to achieve the goal of harm. Combined with the characteristics of an arsonist in general, I believe that he has the following characteristics: he is a native of the city or has lived in the city for a long time; short stature and mediocre appearance; Low level of education, high school or secondary vocational college dropping; Engaged in manual labor, the income is not high, and the economic conditions are not good; unmarried or divorced; Living alone or with an elderly person such as grandparents; Socially incompetent and likes to be alone; Usually obedient and introverted, and will have violent tendencies after being strongly stimulated; Recently unemployed or lost a close family member......"

"Let me interrupt, where did you deduce that the murderer was short?"

"Video taken by the murderer. Have you noticed that he has never photographed the faces of other people at the rescue scene, only the position of his feet, according to the analysis of the video by the forensic personnel, the murderer will not be more than 170CM tall. Ordinary arsonists, no matter how cruel and bloodthirsty they behave, they have extreme arrogance in their hearts due to extreme inferiority, and the murderer does not shoot other people's faces, deliberately hiding it is one thing, and the other hand. It's that he doesn't like the feeling of looking up at others. That's why his mobile phone camera will always face down, and every time he raises his head to look up at others, it brings him more psychological depression. ”

This time, no one interrupted Wen Mo again. Everyone looked like they were listening. Wen Mo went on to say the second murderer: "The last two cases. Although the murderer also filmed a video, his focus is no longer on the entire crime process, and there are no more scenes of bloody violence. It is the process of the fire, we can review, the arson case in the underground exhibition hall and the arson case of the warm hotel, the video released by the murderer took a long time to record the process of the fire, and the process of burning violently after that is not so important, if the fire is not under control is still important to the murderer, even if the video equipment placed at the scene in advance is damaged, the murderer has many ways to get the first-hand video of the fire development, after all, there are a lot of onlookers at the scene of the two cases, although he can't enter the core area, If you shoot a little farther away, no one cares. But he didn't. ”

In his opinion, the first murderer's methods of crime are ridiculously naïve, so he chooses to post videos on the Internet to compete with him, and this can also be seen as a dialogue, a dialogue between the two murderers, he uses H City as a hunting ground, trying to distinguish the winner from the first murderer. And the first murderer has not responded until now. The second murderer saw arson as an art, and it was beautiful. Therefore, I make the following judgment: the second murderer is a native of the city or has lived in the city for a long time, is quite familiar with many parts of the city, he has an extraordinary admiration and love for fire, these two arsons are certainly not his only attempts, there may have been small acts of arson before, no effect, given his worship of fire, it is likely that he tried the fire himself, and therefore there may be burns on his body; He has no higher education, but he has a passion for learning and a high IQ; Because of his low education, he is engaged in an industry dominated by manual labor; He has a unique sense of superiority, it is difficult to get along with his colleagues, and deep down he looks down on them, so he is very withdrawn. ”

"Now we have two directions of reconnaissance, one is to ask the owner of the warm hotel at the first fire point about the occupants of this room in the video, it is best to get a portrait, and the other is to analyze all the photos of onlookers at the arson scene, not surprisingly, the person who is at the scene of several cases is the murderer. Of course, the most important thing is to know the general appearance of the murderer, and investigate in the city's construction sites, express delivery companies and other work units where manual workers are relatively concentrated. ”

"Finally, I would like to remind you of one thing. If this contest between the two changes from the wishful thinking of the second murderer to the joint participation of the first and second murderers, then there will be frequent fires in H City in the future, and there is not much time left for us. ”

The case was an order, and everyone did not delay any longer, and the soldiers went to their own ways of busyness.

Luo Qin handed over a glass of warm water in time and smiled encouragingly at Wen Mo: "It's so wonderful, I can't help but want to applaud you." ”

Wen Mo took the water, couldn't wait to take a few sips, and talked for a long time, but she was really thirsty.

"Thank you. Luo Qin, I believe that in the future, you will be better than me, you have a criminal police background that I have never had, you know more about these colleagues who are fighting on the front line, and it will be easier than me to approach them and persuade them. ”

"Hopefully, you're doing a hard job, and I'm sorry I didn't understand until now."

"So the future of psychoanalysis depends on your efforts, I'm old."

"What are you kidding? You're only in your early thirties, and now the national policy is to delay retirement, so you just wait to shine all the time......" (To be continued......
