Chapter VI Planners and Executors
On the display board with 25 victims, the photos of the bartender and the deceased four years ago were also posted in the blank space of the whiteboard, and they were marked with question marks next to them.
"At first, I was curious about how the suspects found these victims, after all, the victims left after the fire and were scattered all over the country, and it is not easy for you to find these people at one time, and how the suspects confirmed the identities of these victims, after all, there is no information about swiping the card." Li Jing said while writing, "The suspect does not have the characteristics of a serial killer, there is no regularity, and the victim does not have fixed characteristics, the only thing I know is that it is implicated in what happened 4 years ago, but there is no connection between the victims, so it is certain that all the actions of the suspect are based on revenge, there is no order, that is, find one and kill the other, until all the parties are killed, the suspect is likely to stop." ”
"I'm still curious how he managed to find so many people who had been to the bar that day."
"Bar Footage." Shi Hao suddenly answered my question.
Li Jing nodded: "The suspect should have kept the video at the time, so that all the victims could be identified." ”
"Then it's too fanciful to find 25 people at once in four years, right?" It was impossible to confirm that so many people had been to the scene in a short period of time.
"He has helpers, and more than one." Teacher Lu explained on the side, "Although in the bartender's heart, there was only one person who died back then, but in fact there were other deceased. It's just that the mentality is different, the bartender takes revenge out of guilt, while others take revenge out of resentment. ”
"Resentment?" I still haven't kept up with their train of thought.
"To put it simply, the bartender can't do these murders alone, he has a lot of help, a lot of it from the family members of the deceased four years ago. He repeatedly mentions words such as 'conscience' and 'guilt' with confessional meanings, indicating that he is extremely uneasy in his heart, and his way of venting is to punish those who he believes are causing her inner turmoil. He could not have gotten rid of this anxiety alone, so he spent a few years after the accident meeting with the deceased's family and convincing them to take revenge with him in order to appease his deeply troubled feelings. He was able to convince others to join him, and it could be seen that the suspect was very eloquent, so when retelling the fire at that time, the suspect should have added a lot of self-affection to it, so that the anger of the deceased's family reached the highest point, so that he could help him commit murder after murder again and again without any doubt. Li Jing added an explanation.
"But even if everyone is helping him, it's not realistic to find so many parties in a short period of time, right?" I'm still a little skeptical of Li Jing's point of view.
"Some of the deceased's family members should have worked in the police station, or civil servants working in places such as household registration." Team Shaw calmly answered my questions, but looking at his expression, I thought Tarth would be sad.
"I think so, even if it has nothing to do with this industry, it should be a network hacker like a hobby, you can hack into the household registration system, do comparison, and the information of air tickets and train tickets can also be completely checked out for final confirmation." Li Jing patted Team Xiao on the shoulder and comforted Team Xiao not to be too upset, "These people who are completely blinded by hatred can do things that we can't understand at all. They mythologize the plotters, exactly as the plotters just carry out the murders, provided that they can avenge their loved ones. Therefore, all cases seem to have a tendency to be unified, that is, to appear in the downtown area as a naked corpse. The suspect is confusing us and wants us to turn the direction of the investigation into indiscriminate murder. ”
"But why do you want to show it as a naked corpse?" Shi Hao asked the question I wanted to ask.
"The real cause of the bartender's death." Team Xiao regained his previous calm and answered questions from Shi Hao and me.
"After reading the autopsy report before, the forensic doctor gave that the cause of death was not fire, so it should be the real cause of death that stimulated the murder plotters. Nudity isn't just an insult in many senses; There is also a kind of shedding of sins, just as they do not carry sin when they come out of the mother's body, and taking off their clothes is equivalent to helping them to be freed from their sins and return to the form of the mother's body, representing atonement and new birth. The planner is supposed to be trying to confess in the form of guò in the place of the victim in his hands. There are more people who repent, and only those who empathize can feel peace of mind. Teacher Lu took over, "So these victims should have made false confessions at that time, in short, they should not have given a true answer to the situation at that time, so as to attract the suspect's grudge." The suspect thinks that the death of the bartender cannot be revealed, so he goes crazy and wants to kill all the parties, which explains why the victim appeared on the street in the form of confession. Insulting these victims, while at the same time removing the guilt for them. ”
"I immediately sent someone to contact the families of several of the deceased. Shi Hao, try to find out if there are any family members or other close relatives among the deceased 4 years ago, who have intersected with police work experience, or who can be proficient in computer operation like you. After saying that, Team Xiao walked out of the office to assign tasks.
Shi Hao shook his shoulders and looked at Li Jing with an innocent face: "Li Jing, how prejudiced are you against my history, I'm not a hacker, I just used the Internet to block the school's approval process because of my anger, but it was because of my troubles that our school didn't send the subsidy money to those students who defrauded the grant." Many students who really need bursaries have also benefited from it. ”
"Casually entering the network to modify materials is still a violation of the country's laws and school rules, and doing illegal things in the name of justice is really law-abiding? Breaking the law and showing off, how do you think you are different from those who do whatever they want for their own **? Li Jing glanced at Shi Hao, and Shi Hao also felt that he had done something wrong, so he pursed his lips and said softly, "I'm sorry."
"Did the previous deceased have twin sisters? Don't you think the girl and the dead we met at the airport were a little scary to imagine? I shifted the subject.
"The deceased did not have a sister in the household registration, but the mother of the deceased's current household registration sneaked in when the deceased was 10 years old, and it should be the stepmother, and I am checking her previous information." Shi Hao also followed my topic, "However, K City was a small city at the time, and the management of some household registration materials was not perfect, so it was not particularly easy to find out." ”
"Photo comparison." Teacher Lu reminded him.
"There it is." Shi Hao said in surprise, he pointed to the screen to show us, the photo of the girl we met at the airport that day had appeared on the screen.
