Before Li Jing could answer him, we heard a loud noise from the atrium, as if something had exploded, and then a smell of smoke filled the room. Officer Oda rushed to the atrium for the first time, but no one appeared except for the choking smell of smoke and white mist. Lee Kyung and I then arrived at the atrium, looked around, and discussed with Officer Oda to immediately search the houses of the other three tenants who shared the atrium.

The tenants of the remaining three apartments also ran to the atrium after hearing the noise, and two entrepreneurs came here to do long-term project cooperation, so they rented two hotel suites here as temporary residences; Another tenant is a foreign designer, who was invited to hold an exhibition this time, and the organizers arranged to live here. The tenants of the three apartments were visibly frightened.

Officer Xiaotian checked the explosives and found that it was just a second kick, and the only way to reach the atrium was to enter a few tenants' apartments, so the most likely ones to cause the explosion were the tenants who were still here, at least he knew them. It is impossible to enter the apartments without a search warrant, but failure to check could allow the suspect to escape.

There was a click, and the door behind me was locked, and I didn't see anyone when I looked back, but I couldn't push the door open when I pushed it in.

"Don't bother it, it's locked by wireless remote control." Li Jing stopped me from pushing the door further, but smiled, and walked up to one of the entrepreneurs and politely said his request: "Can I go to the corridor from your apartment?" You see we're locked here, we can't go back, and we want the hotel to open the door for us. With Li Jing, Officer Oda showed his police ID. Despite the obvious reluctance, the entrepreneur surnamed Jin invited us into his apartment, leaving Officer Oda to guard the upper floor, and Li Jing and I quickly went downstairs to find the hotel lobby to open the door.

"Why did you choose that person?" Watching the elevator descend layer by layer, I told Li Jing about my doubts.

"Did you observe those people? The foreign designer was clearly defensive, and with a language barrier, he had to choose two other apartment tenants, but one of them was clearly not the entrepreneur himself. For the sake of insurance, only the gold manager can be chosen. Officer Tian was also kept to be able to ensure the safety of the upper floor. Although Li Jing was still a little angry that I came back on my own initiative, he still answered my questions.

"How do you know if that person isn't the entrepreneur himself?" I asked Li Jing.

"It's too formal." Li Jing said.

"But entrepreneurs can also dress up very formally."

"Do you eat at home in formal clothes?" Li Jing smiled, "And that pink shirt, when talking about business, few people wear a baby pink shirt with a black suit, if you wear it like this during business negotiations, what would you think." ”

After listening to this, I silently stuck out my tongue: "If you think so, it's really the same as you said, and I don't want to be a domineering president at all." ”

The elevator door opened, and Li Jing looked at me speechlessly: "What strange things are you looking at every day?" ”

When he went to the lobby manager to get the key and rushed back, Li Jing received a call from Officer Oda: "Li Jing, Wei Kai's room is on fire." ”

Li Jing told the lobby manager the news, and the lobby manager immediately panicked, and he called the security guard and the fire department: "What should we do?" He asked Li Jing.

"I don't know what the fire inside looks like now, we can't blindly open the door." Li Jing blocked the lobby manager's move to get the room card to open the door.

"So what do you say now?" It may be that due to the sheriff's love all day today, the lobby manager is also very panicked now.

Li Jing tried his best to stabilize the lobby manager's feelings, and instructed me to call Officer Oda: "Officer Tian, how is the fire inside now?" ”

"At first, there was black smoke coming out, and then you could see that the floor-to-ceiling curtains in the atrium suddenly closed in an instant, and then you couldn't see inside. Close to the window you can feel the heat inside. Officer Oda's voice came from the public release.

"You pay attention to safety, the firefighters are coming in a moment, and you are protecting the safety of the other residents around you. After a while, the firefighters solved the fire to see if there were charred bodies inside. If so, call me right away. Li Jing said into the phone.

As soon as he heard the word corpse, the lobby manager couldn't stand still, he pestered Li Jing to ask what was going on, Li Jing avoided his chattering questions, grabbed my wrist and was about to run downstairs: "There are police on this floor, and there are plainclothes underneath, they will tell you what happened." Xiaozhi, how to go downstairs. ”

Because of the sudden fire, the rest of the occupants also came out of their apartments, and I took a general scan and found no sign of the man in the pink shirt.

"Don't look at it, go downstairs first." Li Jing said to me.

We took the stairs to the hotel's monitoring room, and sure enough, we saw the man in the pink shirt walking out of the door, no matter how he dressed or walked, he was no different from a normal tenant.

Li Jing saw from the surveillance that the man in pink finally left the hotel in a taxi, zoomed in on the surveillance, and the license plate number of the car in Chaoxia was taken, and Li Jing dialed Shi Hao's phone; "Shi Hao, help me check the driving route of the taxi with this license plate number, start from the door of the Helai Hotel, notify the traffic police to follow the car all the way, and stop the car immediately when you see it."

"Xiaozhi, what I said in a moment may make you feel shocked and sad." Li Jing pondered his words.

I puffed out my cheeks, like a leaky balloon, and I habitually did this whenever I was nervous: "Well, you can tell me." ”

"Have you ever heard of 'psychopathy'?" Li Jing asked me a question first.

I thought for a moment: "Do you mean depression and other mental illnesses?" ”

Li Jing shook his head: "No." They are criminal psychopaths, and they have zài disorders in the nervous, new and emotional aspects. There is a primary psychopathy that usually does not pose a threat of violence to others, and generally does not expose one's own destruction**. In general, they will make people think that they are talkative and charismatic. ”

"You've heard of a super-criminal in history called Ferdinand Waldo Demara, who is also known as a 'super-cheater' who spends his life forging texts, impersonating various professions and continuing to pursue higher education. He had impersonated a soldier many times, and after being found out his true identity, he directed and acted in a 'suicide play' and went to a college in Canada as the head of the philosophy department in another capacity, and later explained that a physician named Joseph was a friend, and in their childbirth relationship, Demara learned a lot of medical knowledge, and he read a lot of medical literature, and then copied Joseph's identity information to serve the Royal Canadian Navy. He himself was very intelligent, and although he had no experience in surgery, when he was entrusted with the task of rescuing the wounded, he still completed the task through his usual reading. The assignment brought him to fame and his photographs were published in the newspapers, but his identity was revealed when the real Dr. Joseph discovered him. This 'super dustler' called Demara has never committed violent crimes in his life, but he has also written about antisocial behavior throughout his life. The opposite of him is the majority of criminal psychopaths, who are mostly involved in murderous violent cases, such as the infamous Charles Manson, and the charismatic but brutal Neville Heath, who is praised for his charm in normal times, but who is a very brutal person at heart. ”

I asked Li Jing tentatively, "Are you alluding to Wei Kai?" ”

Li Jing paused for a moment and continued: "These criminal psychopaths, attractive appearances, and high IQ are the main weapons to confuse people. Especially when you are not familiar with them, you will always unconsciously admire them. They will give people the impression of being well-bred and knowledgeable, and they seem to have endless topics to talk about. But when you go back to the content of your chat, you will find that the content of your conversation is very empty, the conversion between topics is very fast, Emi has in-depth content, basically full of clichés, the views are basically similar, the vocabulary is also extremely monotonous, the content is basically the accumulation of terms, and the overall recall, the content of their conversation is incomplete. But it is because of their attractive appearance and strong expressive ability that it is easy for people to ignore these flaws of theirs. There are even people who will become their believers. ”

I suddenly remembered that on the way to the hotel, I heard Wei Kai's interview on the radio, and I complained in my heart, and I understood that what Li Jing was talking about now was Wei Kai: "So what do you want to explain?" Is Wei Kai going to change his identity? ”

"On the contrary, the real perpetrator should be Wei Kai." Li Jing turned his head to look at me.

I didn't know what to go on for a while, but when I recalled all the details, the question mark next to Wei Kai's name on Li Jing's notebook, it turned out that Li Jing was suspicious of Wei Kai from the beginning: "When did you notice that Wei Kai was suspicious?" ”

Li Jing thought for a while: "I didn't think he would be in danger from the beginning. When his agent said that Wei Kai wanted things to be exclusive in the future, I sensed that something was wrong, and no one would let others know that they were threatened, especially public figures. Later, following the clue of the threatening letter, when you suspect Mao Liang, it is as if someone is leading us to send this clue. It's not that I didn't doubt the agent, but judging by his expression and verbal expression, I believe that he is completely unaware of the real thing. So when you talk about Mao Liang's motive for committing the crime, I didn't react at all, because according to common sense, if Mao Liang wanted to kill him, he would definitely attack Wei Kai a long time ago, there is no need to wait for this time, and Mao Liang has many opportunities to do it, but he wrote a threatening letter with great fanfare, and also revealed the matter of the threatening letter to the media. This is completely inconsistent with your speculation, you guess that he hired someone to murder his wife, and the intention was to clear his suspicion, but for Wei Kai, it is indeed so public, this is completely unreasonable. The only plausible explanation. Li Jing suddenly stopped speaking when he said this.

"What's the only plausible explanation?" I asked him.

Li Jing sighed: "The only reasonable explanation is that the threatening letter was not written to Wei Kai at all, but to Mao Liang. ”
