I'm at Discove

During his internship, he worked on several crime documentaries and worked as a Simo at the University of Maryland

Professor's assistant. He is one of the two most deeply researched criminologists I've ever met. The other person is Lao Kim. But their path is different, Simo

The professor is a theoretician, and Lao Jin is a wild man of self-practice. As a student in their co-school, I know a little bit of both.

I called Simo when my girlfriend went missing

The professor asks for help. He was so busy with affairs that he couldn't help much. Simo

The professor later asked someone to bring a letter analyzing the possibility of my girlfriend's disappearance.

The reason why it is brought up is because in Discove

At the time of Y, he told me a theory that crime is communicative.

On the afternoon of August 12, 2015, I was sleeping when Tian Jing's knock on the door woke me up. I squinted and opened the door to her and asked her what was the urgency, I wonder if I was active at night? She went into the house and got herself a bottle of water from the refrigerator, sat down and unscrewed it and took a sip: "The gut digger has committed a crime again." ”

Between February and May 2015, there were five serial killings in Yan City. The murderer is known as the "gut-exhumer", and the method is cruel, first the gut-out and then the killing, and only harms women.

While I was investigating, the killer suddenly disappeared. Unexpectedly, more than two months later, two new victims appeared. The deceased, Li Xijing, 23 years old, a senior girl, got off work too late from her internship and was brutally murdered by a gut-exhuming hand on her way home.

The second victim, Xu Xinyi, 22 years old, is a sophomore female student at the Yan City Dance Academy. went to sing with friends, was strangled on the way back to school, and was also gut-out. Fortunately, her cry for help was heard, and she survived in time.

Tian Jing was in a bad mood when she told me about these two cases, and I could feel her suppressed anger - Sister Jing is a feminist, and as a benchmark for women, she is the most intolerable to this kind of violence against women.

The murderer does not rob money or sex, and he is looking for young girls to attack, and he is perverted at first glance. This perversion has been documented since the Middle Ages, and some are famous all over the world, such as Jack the Ripper.

I asked Tian Jing to calm down and baked two slices of toast for her. Then, I called Zhou Yong and asked him to inquire about the progress of the police - it has been three months since the last crime, and the police must have some key information after investigating for so long.

As soon as I swallowed the last bite of bread, Zhou Yong had news. The two female college students who had recently had an accident had one thing in common, a few days before the incident, they both used a certain taxi app to call a taxi, and the starting point was Zhongyi Road. After the police investigation, it was found that the driver used a fake ID card and a fake license plate to register information. The only valid information about this person is a photo. Coincidentally, the photo was recognized by an old criminal policeman. He found that the suspect's appearance was very similar to that of a suspect in a murder case ten years ago, so the police quickly detained the man named Cheng Fei.

Although the suspect was arrested, in line with the principle that you can sell it for money if you get exclusive information, Zhou Yong and I still came to Cheng Fei's home and its vicinity, looking for traces of his life here. It's close to where Li Xijing was killed. Li Xijing was killed in an alley where trees grew and there were few pedestrians. The public toilet at the end of the alley to the north is the accident site of another victim, Xu Xinyi. I don't know if it's because of an accident, there are very few people here. Walking straight down the public toilet is Cheng Fei's home. It is a low building, only two floors, and several aunts and uncles are sitting in the yard playing mahjong.

Approaching the uncle and aunt who played mahjong, I took out a fake press card, saying that I was a reporter from the TV station and wanted to ask Cheng Fei about it. Zhou Yong took a DV next to him and pretended to video.

An aunt was just about to speak, but the "Mediterranean" uncle sitting in the house below her opened her mouth first: "Hey, you said Xiaofeizi, he has been stealing chickens and dogs since he was a child, and no one can do anything about him!" ”

"What's wrong with him again?" The aunt glared at the uncle and interjected.

Halfway through Zhou Yong's word "kill", I hurriedly interrupted him: "He fought with someone, and the other party is a star." The uncles and aunts collectively made an "oh" sound and asked me which star Cheng Fei was beating. I said that there are regulations on this matter to be kept secret, just to understand Cheng Fei's usual personality and see who is more likely to be responsible. In the next two hours, Zhou Yong and I learned almost all of Cheng Fei's life from his uncle and aunt.

At the age of eight, his parents divorced, Cheng Fei followed his father, who was an alcoholic and scolded every day.

At the age of nine, his father remarried, his stepmother gave birth to a son, and Cheng Fei had a younger brother.

When he was fourteen years old, he quarreled with his stepmother, picked up a kitchen knife and slashed at his stepmother.

Just turned eighteen years old, he was arrested for theft and sentenced to four years in prison. He did well in prison and was released six months early in 2002.

After coming out, Cheng Fei talked about a girl, but the other party's parents thought that Cheng Fei was too poor, had a bad family, and had an unstable job, and he had also entered the bureau, so he resolutely beat the mandarin duck. He severely injured his mother-in-law and went to prison again.

In 2005, his girlfriend who had broken up for a year was killed on the way home from work, and Cheng Fei was found to be a major suspect, but was acquitted because of an alibi.

In 2008, he was involved in a drug trafficking case and was sentenced to six years, and he was not released from prison until the Spring Festival of 2014.

In May 2015, he met a woman while drinking at a bar. The two fell in love at first sight, quickly fell in love, opened a restaurant together, and were recently preparing to get married.

I asked my aunt if I had the contact information of Cheng Fei's girlfriend, and they all said they didn't know. Zhou Yong looked at me after hearing this and said, "Brother Xu, he can publish a book, called "How Criminals Are Made". "Cheng Fei does fit into a typical criminal personality.

We walked a little farther away from the uncles and aunts, and Zhou Yong took out a cigarette and lit one for me: "Brother Xu, let's check what we are doing, just rush these 'glorious resumes', basically this kid did it!" ”

I don't agree that this kind of extroverted violent personality is generally a "crime of passion". Their personality is irritable and violent, not perverted. This kind of person will generally only solve the problem with the simplest violent means, rather than perverted murder methods, and I think it is unlikely that he is the murderer.

Zhou Yong took a deep puff of cigarette: "But now all the evidence points to him." ”

Indeed, this is also what I find strange. I asked Zhou Yong to call his cousin Ju You to find out if the other party had recruited him. Zhou Yong came over with a smile after making the phone call and said that there was no trick. I asked him, Cheng Fei didn't recruit anything to be happy about. He said: "My cousin said: 'Is it Xu Lang who asked you to call, next time there is such a thing and let him call by himself!'" ’”

At this time, Tian Jing called me and asked me to meet in the evening. I said, "Okay, just make an appointment with Whisky Ba."

It just so happened that I went there at night for something. "After I answered the phone, I told Zhou Yong that Tian Jing had made an appointment with me in the evening and asked him to go home first and continue to investigate tomorrow. Zhou Yong looked at me, revealing a cheap look that wanted to speak and stopped. I told him to say whatever he wanted, and not to put on this face with me. Zhou Yong said: "Brother Xu, we can't eat what is in the bowl and think about what is in the pot, although Sister Tian Jing is fine, but Sister Ju You is my cousin." ”

I told him to get out of here.

At 8 p.m., Tian Jing and I were at Whisky Ba

Meet, Whisky Ba

It's a place where intelligence traffickers gather in Tsubame City, and when I need information, I'll go there.

The proprietress Kong Li was not there, and the boss Guo Chao was standing in the bar. When Tian Jing and I entered the door, he smiled at us and asked if we were here for a date or to buy information. I said both. Guo Chao gave me a thumbs up: "What to drink today?" "I said a cocktail of any kind of fruit juice, and Tian Jing would just have a glass of cherry-flavored Lindeman.

Common bar counters

While Guo Chao was bartending, I asked Tian Jing what was in a hurry to find me, and Tian Jing said that she just wanted to know about the case. She really values it. I told her not to worry, just then Guo Chao mixed the wine and brought it to me. I took the wine, handed Cheng Fei's information to him, and told him that I wanted the information and contact information of this person's girlfriend.

The alcohol content of beer is relatively low

Guo Chao opened it and roughly flipped through it: "Ten thousand!" ”

Tian Jing took a sip of Lindeman: "It's expensive." ”

"This is the information he specified, but Sister Jing has spoken, and this matter will be discounted to eight thousand. But Xu Lang's glass of wine has to be paid, and I made it with my heart. Of course, Sister Jing's can be exempted. ”

I raised my glass and signaled to Tian Jing: "You still have face." ”

At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, when I was asleep, Guo Chao sent me the information I wanted and a picture of breakfast, and I replied to him with an angry expression. Nightkin goes out late and returns early, and I haven't seen breakfast in half a year.

After reading the information, I just wanted to call Zhou Yong and ask him to go on a mission together, but I received a call from Zhou Yong: "Brother Xu, Xu Xinyi is awake, and the police are in the hospital to ask her to identify the murderer's photo." "I told him to keep an eye on it and tell me as soon as I got the results.

hung up the phone, I wanted to go on a mission by myself, but thinking that Tian Jing was so concerned about this matter, I called her and asked her if she wanted to meet the suspect's girlfriend. Tian Jing agreed without hesitation.

When Zhou Yong arrived at the hospital, the police had shown Xu Xinyi a photo of Cheng Fei. Zhou Yong grabbed one of his cousin's subordinates and asked, "Brother Wang, how is it?" ”

The criminal policeman surnamed Wang shook his head: "She said she couldn't be sure, a little like and a little bit different." We just asked Xu Xinyi to help record a video confirming that the murderer is Cheng Fei, and we will go back and show him it again in a while to see if he admits guilt. ”

Zhou Yong asked again: "Brother Wang, what if he doesn't recognize it?" ”

Brother Wang said "hey": "According to this situation, if the detention is extended, it may not be possible to find key evidence." "Zhou Yong called to tell me about this, and I asked him to continue to stare at his cousin's place, and notify me of any news in time.

When I received Zhou Yong's call, Tian Jing and I had already arrived at the small restaurant opened by Cheng Fei and his girlfriend Liu Ran. It's a hard place to find, at the end of the road, in a semi-basement, and it stands to reason that most people wouldn't choose this kind of place to open a store. However, Liu Ran is very optimistic, she said that when Cheng Fei comes out, the two of them will work hard and manage it well, and the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. It's hard to imagine that a girl like Liu Ran would be Cheng Fei's girlfriend. She is thin and small, very gentle, and logical in conversation.

There are many small restaurants in Tsubame that have been converted into semi-basements

Tian Jing and I mentioned to her that Cheng Fei might be a gut-digging hand, and Liu Ran shook his head very firmly: "If you want to say that he killed someone by mistake, I believe it." He's a gut-digger, I don't believe anything! With just his tendon brain, where can he be perverted? ”

After talking about Cheng Fei with Liu Ran, I had even greater doubts about whether Cheng Fei was the murderer - Zhou Yong's phone call early the next morning helped me confirm this. At around 6 o'clock in the morning, I was woken up by Zhou Yong's phone call. I was just about to start a bed on the other end of the phone, but Zhou Yong blocked me: "Brother Xu, the gut digging hand appeared again last night." A freshman girl, an intern, died when she came home from work last night, and the location was also Zhongyi Road. ”

I asked Zhou Yong to come to my house, then got up and started to wash, and Zhou Yong arrived before I finished brushing my teeth. I asked him why he was so fast, and he smiled and said, "I know your habits, I don't like to go out in the morning, and I was on the road when I called you." ”

I asked Zhou Yong to sit down and wrote a few questions on the blackboard. The two girls who were killed were indeed guests who used Cheng Fei's special car number to take orders. So, no matter what, he is still the most suspicious person at the moment. If he is really a gut-digger, then the following are very likely:

1. His girlfriend is the cover that was found.

2. Accurate gut excavation, understanding of human body structure and anatomy, must have a medical background, Cheng Fei must have taught himself or learned related things.

3. He did not commit the crime alone, it may have been committed by a gang.

Zhou Yong nodded and asked me where to start, and I pointed to the second point: "Check the medical-related things in his resume." It is certain that the gut-exhumer must be a person who is extremely proficient in surgical medicine. Then I called Tian Jing and asked her to continue chatting with Liu Ran to see if she could find something useful.

Zhou Yong and I were busy all afternoon, and finally found the only person around Cheng Fei who studied medicine - his half-brother, Cheng Yue. If there is any connection between the gut digger and Cheng Fei, Cheng Yue must know something. Zhou Yong asked me how to get words out of his mouth. I said let's play a "cat and mouse game", it's been hot lately, and I want to get a haircut.

Zhou Yong and I went to cut our heads first, and then stopped Cheng Yue, who had just finished class, on the campus of the medical university. We cut our heads flat because they would look more like plainclothes cops.

Zhou Yong said: "You are Cheng Yue, right?" Cheng Yue nodded.

I stepped forward: "According to your brother's confession, we have something to ask you about the gut-cutting case, come with us!" ”

Cheng Yue didn't ask who we were at all, and ran away. Zhou Yong and I were chasing after me - Cheng Yue had a problem, and this matter was stable. Cheng Yue was a little thin, and it didn't take long for him to lose his strength and was caught by me and Zhou Yong. Zhou Yong and I took Cheng Yue into the car, put a blindfold on him, and drove him to Zhou Yong's friend's shop, a prison-themed escape room.

After having him sit in the furnished room and handcuffing him for play, we took off his blindfold. Zhou Yong came up and lied to him: "Your brother said that you killed the person." ”

Cheng Yue was silent, and Zhou Yong was also a little confused. It's just a casual lie, looking at the situation, it is really possible that he killed it! I saw that Zhou Yong was stunned, and hurriedly sang next to him with a red face: "If you have anything, just say it quickly, do you know how much your brother has suffered for you?" ”

Cheng Yue asked if we could give him a cigarette, and I took out a cigarette from Zhou Yong's pocket and lit it for Cheng Yue. Cheng Yue took two deep puffs of his cigarette: "I'll start with my brother." Although my brother didn't deal with my mother, he didn't say anything to me. You see, I'm not tall, I'm quite thin, I've been like this since I was a child. I was always bullied at school, and when my brother came out for the first time, he came to school to give me a head start. Although my brother soon went in again, no one dared to bully me anymore, and everyone knew that I had a brother who had just come out and went in. My brother was my idol at the time, but he was free and easy, and it didn't take it seriously to go to prison. Later, when my brother came out again, I found that my brother was not so free. During that time, my brother had a girlfriend, but the other party's family did not agree and broke up. I saw my brother crying secretly, I haven't seen my brother cry since I was a child. My dad called him an animal, and he said that he had no feelings, and his six relatives didn't recognize him, but such a person actually cried. I was so angry, and I didn't get angry. A year later, I stabbed my brother's ex-girlfriend to death. Haha, at that time, they all suspected that my brother did it, but he had an alibi! I deliberately asked him to go to the bar to watch the game, and there were many witnesses to the current hand. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yong finally couldn't help but interject: "Your brother's ex-girlfriend was killed by you?" ”

"Yes."

"What about the gut-digging case? Why kill people by such cruel means? ”

"It's a fun way to put what you've learned into practice, and it's also a tribute to interesting people."

"Why do you use your brother's car number to pick up the job?"

"Didn't my brother use a fake ID? He had a criminal record, and he was afraid that people would not let him register, so he got a fake ID card. Who knew the photos would be real! ”

Cheng Yue said, and suddenly raised the hand that was not handcuffed. "Yes, I have a suggestion. Uncle policeman, you can't help but deceive people when you interrogate people? At first I was a little panicked, but then I figured it out. With what I know about my brother, can he betray me? Pure blindness! I confessed, I just want my brother to come out quickly, he is a person who is going to get married. ”

I patted Zhou Yong's shoulder and smiled at Cheng Yue: "Who said that the two of us are policemen?" Zhou Yong, call the police! After the police took Cheng Yue away, Zhou Yong stretched his waist: "Brother Xu, how am I acting?" ”

I said it was good, it looked like a Stennis tractor[1]

Genre.

Not long after we sold the news to the website, the police closed the case and prosecuted Cheng Yue in court for intentional homicide.

On the day of the court session, Tian Jing asked me to have dinner at a Hunan restaurant. After I finished ordering, I asked Tian Jing if she came to thank me, Tian Jing nodded: "I also have something else to tell you." ”

Tian Jing has a friend who is the chief forensic doctor in the case of gut-excavation. She found that the modus operandi of Xu Xinyi and Li Xijing being gutten was significantly different from the previous cases. For this reason, she also talked to Xu Xinyi's attending physician, and then became more sure of this idea. But in order not to cause panic, the case was quickly closed.

I looked at Tian Jing, and she continued: "The day you asked me to go to Liu Ran, I had a little cold and was not very well. Liu Ran asked me about my usual heart rate, and then took my pulse and told me that I had a fever, about 38 degrees 2. ”

I felt a little dry and took a sip of water: "She studied medicine?" Tian Jing nodded: "General practitioner." ”

Three days later, I "bumped into" Liu Ran, who was stocking up for the restaurant in the morning market. I accosted her: "Cheng Fei came out, right?" ”

She said: "Come out, we both got our certificates." ”

I offered to help her carry the food. She shirked two sentences and didn't fight me. We carried the food and walked to where she had parked. I helped her put the food in the car, and she handed me a bottle of water. I took it and asked her a question. "When you were working in the urban hospital on Zhongyi Road, you had a gut-digging case. After you fell in love with Cheng Fei, you quit your job and opened a restaurant, and your gut-digging hand suddenly disappeared, what do you think? "I have checked Liu Ran's duty information in the urban construction hospital, and the overlap with the time of the crime is particularly high.

Liu Ran smiled: "Isn't everything about Cheng Yue out of the blue?" ”

I said that before Cheng Yue was taken away by the police, I asked him why he used this method to kill people. He said he was paying tribute to interesting people. I thought he was talking about Jack the Ripper or something. But later I found out that the two cases involved with Cheng Fei and the previous cases were not done by the same person. Both of these were done by Cheng Yue, a novice, and because he was not skilled, he left a living mouth for the second time.

Liu Ran stretched out his hands: "I still don't understand why you doubt me, even if I am a medical student, I have worked near Zhongyi Road, and I caught up with the gut-digging incident, so what?" ”

I lit a cigarette: "During Cheng Fei's detention, he did another case, using the same methods as the first few cases, this is to help Cheng Fei get away with the crime, right?" ”

Liu Ran sighed: "Come here, I'll tell you a secret." ”

I whispered to me, and Liu Ran whispered in my ear: "The first four cases and the last one were done by the same person!" "Back at home, I tried to clear up the case that had been "closed". If Liu Ran is telling the truth, then it is not only her and Cheng Yue who are digging out their intestines. There is another case in the middle, who did it?

I suddenly remembered once with Simo

When the professor chatted, he said, the transmissibility of crime.

Simo

The professor smoked a cigar and leaned back on the couch, speaking very slowly. "More than 100 years later, a group of the world's best criminologists are using modern criminology and criminal psychology to analyze 'Jack the Ripper'. They believe that it is a figure made up of 'parody killings'. He is not just one person, but is made up of many people who imitate this pattern of crime. It's just that because no one has been caught, the people mistakenly believe that this is a personal act, because people don't know that crime can be transmitted. So, don't think that closing a case is the final result. Still be vigilant, because you don't know if the danger has spread. ”
