Chapter IV: Judgment on Indiscriminate Killing
I looked at Li Jing and didn't speak, but I was still not sure what breakthrough he would make if he kept pushing like this: "How do you determine who is the one who stepped on the point?" What if he's not in this area to see the road? ”
"Even if I'm not on this street, I can't get out of this area, I just want to see familiar faces, and then compare them with pictures of the dead or injured for a while. They'll be on the move until we catch the bombers, so now it's all about finding one of the members and then finding the core members. ”
"That's a big project." The administrator who accompanied us to see the monitoring function sighed.
Li Jing pursed his lips and smiled: "So maybe we need to bring this information back to the bureau and let the technicians help us sort it out." ”
The executive suddenly stood up, waved his hand again and again, and said, "That's not good, the leader has explained, I can only let you watch it for one day." ”
"But you have also seen that the three of us can't read all this information, if I can, I want to talk to your leader alone, after all, these videos involve a lot of key evidence in the case."
"This." The staff was slightly hesitant.
Li Jing had already stood up and walked out with his notebook: "You just need to lead the way, and I will explain the rest clearly, and I won't embarrass you, after all, these videos are really important." He was involved in the bombing three months ago, and many people lost their families because of the accident that day, so I think you can relate to the feelings of those victims, right? ”
She bit her lip with her teeth, probably because of her young age, the staff member was really moved by Li Jing's words, and took us to the office of the captain of the traffic police brigade. Li Jing knocked on the door, pushed the door and walked in after getting the answer, the person sitting in front of the work thought that he was here to report the work, and did not look up, still concentrating on the text in his hand, until Li Jing spoke, the unfamiliar voice made him raise his head in surprise, frowned at Li Jing, and then glanced at the staff young man standing in the depth of Officer Li: "What's the matter?" He asked a little sternly.
Without waiting for the young man to speak, Li Jing preemptively said his thoughts, and had already guessed that he might be rejected, so when the captain of the team said no, we didn't make too surprised expressions, but to be honest, we were still a little frustrated. Li Jing took a deep breath: "I'm telling you this because it's related to the bombing three months ago. ”
"I know." The captain put down the text in his hand, "So I gave you a day to review all the materials." Also, I remember Xiao Wang told you that the monitoring of the day was out of order before the explosion, so it is really difficult for me to help you in time. It's not to embarrass you, the investigators also asked us for video at that time, but with the same result, we really can't give you the live scene you want. ”
"But even if there is no video footage from the time, there is still a way to find clues, as long as you call up the surveillance of the period before the explosion, look at the faces that often appear in the surveillance, analyze their movements and expressions, and always find some clues that have been ignored before. There were similar bombings in other places, and I can't take the bombings that took place in this city as a separate case, and there are many similarities between the cases in other places and this case, so we think it's a chain of retaliation, even. Li Jing hesitated for a moment, but still said his speculation, "I suspect it's a terrorist incident." ”
When he heard this sensitive word, the captain of the police force squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about the truth of Li Jing's words, but he knew that it was impossible for anyone to joke about this kind of incident, he pondered for a while and looked into Li Jing's eyes: "Are you sure?" ”
"Not 100% sure, but I now have a clue, so I need your help, and my main purpose when I came back to C was to determine if there was really a connection between this case and several other bombings. The purpose of my visit, I think the officer who sent us here should have told you the same. After Li Jing finished speaking, he thought about it and added, "If it is a chain bombing, then we don't even know the suspect's next target and can't be sure of his time until we find the pattern, so I beg you to let us send the video back to my analysis team, we have professionals there to help us do the analysis, and we can find out what was missed in the previous investigation in the gold mine." Bombings can hurt people's lives, and I hope to solve them as much as possible, so I ask you again for your help. ”
After listening to this, the captain of the traffic police brigade wandered his eyes on the telephone and Li Jing for a few minutes, so he picked up the phone and dialed a string of numbers.
Although we got the information by the way, but at the same time, thinking that all our investigations were no longer independent of the incidents that might be involved, the Xiao team received an order to formally take over these cases, Li Jing sent the video data to Shi Hao, and the Jian Yiì Xiao team also collected as much as possible from other similar cases all the road monitoring in at least a month before the explosion. We know that the road monitoring will only be retained for one year without special circumstances, and those cases that have happened for a long time, if there is no special report, all the empty videos that have been over a year should be automatically erased by the system, so the biggest hope is that there have been a few cases in the year before the explosion in C City.
By the time these things were done, it was already completely dark, and since a task force had been set up, we were only assisting in the investigation, so we could stay in City C for one more day. Although there is a little bit of time constraint, I really want to see the scene again.
Li Jingti finished eating first, and when he was involved in the arson case before, the authentic local food he had eaten in the teahouse on the street opposite the Hogir Hotel made me feel very fond of it, so I discussed with Li Jing to go there to eat again, and Li Jing had no opinion. I found the small restaurant where I ordered food in the teahouse, and ordered the same dishes as last time, and both of us waited in silence for the food to be served. Maybe it's because of the previous incident, I rarely didn't fight with Li Jing when I was eating, but focused on the food in my hand.
"Hey, isn't this the little girl of that day?" I heard a familiar voice, as if it was calling me, I followed the sound and looked over, it was the group of grandparents I met when I came to investigate that day, I greeted politely, probably I hadn't read the news about the arsonist a few days ago, so they all stared at Li Jing viciously when they saw that I was injured.
"Little girl, did your boyfriend do something to you?" Grandma Wang asked as she pulled me aside.
I shook my head in surprise, and suddenly thought that it might be the injury on my body that scared her, so I quickly explained: "The reason for this is quite complicated, but it is definitely not caused by him." "I thought about it for a while, but it wasn't a direct cause. But I still don't want to tell my grandmother about it, and I really want you to let them think of me as an ordinary tourist who has come here to relax.
The old grandmother's expression was a little disbelieving, but seeing that I swore and didn't ask anything more, she suddenly whispered to me: "Grandma didn't let you rent that Wuzi that day, it's really right." ”
"The room?" I asked, pretending to be confused.
"It's the house where Sun Youjun used to live with her mother, if you want to live in it, if something happens, grandma will feel guilty for the rest of her life." Grandma Wang patted me on the back.
"What's wrong?" I asked knowingly.
"Oh, you don't know, that Sun Youjun planned a lot of fires before and killed people. The night you wanted to rent a place to stay, he went to kill people again. Grandma Wang's expression was slightly exaggerated, but it was also true.
I smiled and thanked my grandmother, and was about to go back, but my grandmother suddenly pulled me back to the corner uneasily: "If you have an argument with your boyfriend, don't do it, no one can do it, as long as you move this relationship once, it can never be recovered." "Grandma Wang was very serious when she said this, I knew that she was worried about me and the strange man (Li Jing) in her eyes, so I smiled and walked back with Grandma Wang. Do you want to do it?
Grandma Wang saw me return to her table, still staring at us with some anxiety, although she knew that she was kind, but the two of us still felt a little twisted, hurriedly finished eating and paid the bill, and left the small restaurant. Breaking through the somewhat awkward atmosphere, I took a big breath of air outside.
"I think you need to fix this problem." Li Jing watched me breathe with some difficulty.
I didn't speak, I nodded, I forgot when it started, it seems to be after the operation, I don't feel like I started to breathe when I was nervous, and then I would faint, and the doctor said it was a psychological problem. I used to think of this phenomenon as a symptom of amnesia, but it didn't get better until I started to regain my memory, but it started to get worse and stronger, and the same was the case the last time I rescued people at the scene of the fire. "It's a psychological problem." Seeing Li Jing's anxious look, I was afraid that he would pull me to see a doctor after he went back, so I quickly explained to him, what are you kidding, I am still going to run away for the second time. I complained with some regret in my heart.
"I don't want to help you, I said that when you fully recover your memory, I'll let you choose." Li Jing said to me helplessly, I guess he was irritable when he said this.
I didn't want to dwell on it any longer, so I took the initiative to divert the topic: "We can go to the scene now, right?" ”
When I took a taxi, Li Jing asked me, "It's the first time I've seen you care so much about a case." You don't have to imagine yourself in the midst of uncertain responsibilities. ’
"I didn't." I glanced at Li Jing defeated, "It's just that the bombing case is a knot in my heart, and I can't ignore its existence." Like you said, I'll wait until my memory is fully restored before I decide to stay. In exchange, in addition to me handing over Wei Kai to you with my own hands, as an equivalent exchange for you to accompany me to restore my memory, I will tell you why I care so much about the explosion after my memory is fully restored. I now have a vague recollection that seems to have something to do with my ex-boyfriend. I thought for a moment and continued, "You don't have to ask Shi Hao to check these things, because I don't have a specific impact, and I have checked the news at the time of my accident, and there is none, even if the lace news mentions that there was an explosion accident on the same day or in the vicinity, so you better wait for me to recall it myself." Maybe if I really think about it, I can really make the right decision as you said, and now, let's focus on the case at hand. You said before that there are chain cases, but in the other cases that you classify as similar, did the explosion also happen on public transport? ”
Li Jing recalled for a moment and shook his head: "Not exactly. Among similar cases, the only explosions that occurred on public transport were cities C and W. Several other explosions occurred in hotels or restaurants, in functional areas, and in one case directly in a garbage can on the side of the road. ”
"Didn't happen in the hospital or school?" I asked Li Jing.
Li Jing decisively gave a negative answer: "No." That's why I thought it was weird. ”
"Strange?" I had a vague sense that something was wrong, but I couldn't say why, but I just felt like something was missing.
"Target demographic." Li Jing said what I was wondering about, "There is no target group, whether it is a simple bombing case or a terrorist activity, they all have their own purpose. Retaliation or panic-mongering, but these cases are not, as if they were just indiscriminate killings. However, unlike indiscriminate killings, indiscriminate killings are mainly concentrated in one location and are not particularly dispersed. Although the target of the crime is randomly selected, but because the perpetrator is often a young person who has just suffered a setback, and they are not good at communication, lack of normal interpersonal relationships, the location of the crime will be particularly single, and the purpose is clear, generally the location they choose to commit the crime is basically a reflection of their inner frustration, so in fact, they will only choose a specific location, and in a specific location, they will see the entire person in the location as the cause of his troubles, so even if I don't kill, It is also possible to speculate on the suspect's motive through the analysis of the location. However, the bombings we are dealing with now are different, there is no specific location, and if he takes all the bombings that happen in public places as the object of his revenge, he will take revenge on the whole society, which will seem even more terrifying. However, the reason for their anger has not been identified, I think it must be that the previous investigation was not based on a series of cases, so there must be some key information missing, and we need to find the object of his revenge in order to know and determine who the core person is using as his pawn. It is important to know that the members most needed by terrorist organizations are people who lack a sense of belonging and identity, and such people are easy to control as long as these two conditions are met. Therefore, by analyzing the geographical characteristics of the explosion site, we can understand what kind of people are in this organization, and only then can we make a correct profile for the last mastermind behind the scenes.
