Wei Xiao hadn't closed her eyes for almost 36 hours.

After receiving the report last night, I first went to the scene, and then I was busy until 1 o'clock in the morning to block the scene and extract evidence, and then held a meeting all night to discuss the arrest plan for the murderer.

It was time to take a nap in the morning, but I was woken up by a phone call and immediately rushed over to record a statement, and when I came back, I summoned the staff to formulate a more detailed plan of action than the meeting last night based on the latest news.

As for why he didn't send the following people to record a confession, one is that Wei Xiao has developed a hands-on habit for many years, plus the last drunkard incident, his intuition as a criminal police officer told him that there might be surprises in the past.

Sure enough, the discussion with Wen Tao made the image of the murderer more three-dimensional, and it was also one step closer to catching the murderer.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and bait personnel and surveillance personnel had been arranged in various communities, and his identity as the planner and deputy commander of the operation made him even more reluctant to relax for a moment.

Because many citizens are now aware of this case, some people are panicking at first, so the authorities attach great importance to this case and demand that the case be solved as soon as possible with the greatest strength, otherwise the image of the police force will plummet among the masses, and even the safety of the people cannot be guaranteed, and even the credibility of the government will be affected.

After drinking three cups of coffee and five bottles of energy drinks, Wei Xiao's non-stop fighting eyelids finally became more honest, pushed down the leader's arrangement to let him rest, and stuck to the screen of the mobile monitoring vehicle as the temporary command room, and kept in touch with the regional operators, especially the female policemen who stepped forward to act as bait, and it was important to ensure their safety.

The time soon came to 21 o'clock, everyone's hearts gradually rose, the noisy conversation in the command room also subsided, and the tense atmosphere seemed to freeze the air, making people breathless.

Eventually, it condensed into a "no anomaly found" debriefing on the other end of the headset.

How so? It's been almost half an hour, doesn't the murderer have any plans to commit the crime today? Or is there a vigilance in your heart? Or maybe our previous reasoning was wrong......

One question after another popped up from everyone's minds, and in the case that no suspicious person was found in the police body cameras at the scene of the two crimes, if even the bait tactics failed to succeed, then how should this case be solved?

The genealogy of the two victims has no connection for the previous three generations, and their circle of friends does not have any intersection, because the daily action route of the two is also very simple to go back and forth between home and company, so they have not been to a certain place at the same time, these are two completely unrelated people.

A random murder like this would simply not have been caught if it weren't for the murderer who had exposed his feet after committing many crimes.

This is also the case for most of the world's perfect homicides.

Wei Xiao looked at the commander-in-chief of the operation, Wang Gang, the captain of the criminal police detachment in his 50s at their sub-bureau, and wanted to know what he was thinking now and what his next action was.

Wang Gang's face did not change, and he said categorically: "Inform the front-line team members to act as usual, and send two more teams to expand the scope to inspect several surrounding communities to see if anyone has been killed, and if necessary, you can borrow people from other sub-bureaus." ”

Wei Xiao was puzzled: "Do you suspect that the murderer happened to go to our blind spot?" But wouldn't such a fanfare patrol startle the snake? ”

Wang Gang asked lightly: "Do you remember why our police have to sound the siren when we go to arrest criminals?" ”

Wei Xiao immediately understood.

Since there is a high probability that this operation will end in failure, it is necessary to find a way to win it back from other aspects.

If the murderer can't be caught, then he can be surprised and make him dare not commit the crime again for a period of time, thus protecting more possible victims, which can be regarded as a kind of remedial victory.

Wang Gang is not as young as Wei Xiao, and with more than 30 years of police career, he knows that protection and prevention are always more important than punishment. Of course, it can also be said that he is old and does not have the enthusiasm and momentum of young people, but if the country's police organs are only left with impulsive young people, just to catch criminals and ignore the lives of the people, then who should protect the people?

It's like the meaning of the law, it is never to punish for the sake of punishment, but more to warn potential criminals in society that once some lines are crossed, what awaits them is that fate, so as to protect more innocent people.

This is the cost of your crime!

Less than ten minutes later, news came in again, and this time it was finally no longer anomalous, but everyone present preferred not to hear the news.

"We found a female deceased in a pool of blood in the newly expanded Oriental Residence community, and when we arrived, the body was still warm, and the murderer's modus operandi was the same as in the previous two cases. We suspect that the murderer has not gone far, and has sent people to the community monitoring room to check the surveillance video, and at the same time, others have sealed off the community without dead ends, and the rest of the people are searching the community to see if the murderer is still hiding in the community. Finally, other team members were asked to investigate and track around this community, and if the traces of the suspected murderer were found, they would also be locked as soon as possible. ”

The person who made the report was an old criminal policeman who had followed Wang Gang for more than ten years, and he was clear about Wang Gang's character, knowing that Wang Gang at this time was no longer afraid of making things bigger, and he should have been ready to deal with the pressure from his superiors and the pressure of public opinion, so his actions became more bold.

"Wait, we found out something new, there was a note under the corpse, and the murderer wrote a paragraph with the blood of the corpse, 'You'd better catch me sooner rather than later, or every day new people will die because of your incompetence...... 'Damn bastards!'

Listening to the first half of the paragraph, Wang Gang didn't react yet, just like the old criminal policeman knew him, he also knew that the old criminal policeman's ability would not let him down, but when he heard the message from the murderer, he couldn't help but slap the table angrily.

"Bang!"

A loud bang startled everyone, and then they heard a roar bigger than slapping the table: "This is a serious provocation!" Send all the police forces to search around Oriental Huating, he must not have gone far, and at the same time investigate which people in the surrounding communities are returning to the communities within half an hour, especially those in the middle and high-end communities, strictly investigate! Zhang Li, keep this note for me, and when there are suspects, compare their handwriting, if there is anything wrong with this note during this period, I will pull out your police uniform! ”

"Yes!" Everyone stood up and saluted, and then rushed out quickly, each performing their duties, and the tension on the other end of the microphone also agreed loudly.

Soon, in addition to the two policemen who needed to manage electronic equipment, there were only Wei Xiao and Wang Gang left in the house, and when everyone was gone, Wei Xiao slowly asked, "Is this really good?" Is it really good that such a big action is not reflected with the top? ”

Wei Xiao's implication is to privately mobilize hundreds of police officers in the sub-bureau, including criminal police, patrol police, and police officers from the police station in the jurisdiction, to conduct a carpet search, and even if someone is caught in the end, I am afraid that he will have a reputation for wasting police power or even being incompetent, and maybe there will be political enemies who will attack him for abusing his power.

Because half of them are actually not under his jurisdiction, they belong to the special loan for this operation, and many police officers even hurriedly canceled their vacations and rushed back.

Wang Gang smiled helplessly, without the impassioned lion just now: "There is nothing bad, in order to catch this criminal as soon as possible, you must quickly cut through the mess, and you can't be dragged down by other factors, even if something goes wrong in the end, it doesn't matter, anyway, I will retire in a few years." ”

After a pause, he continued: "After all, we can't be so strict for 365 days, if we can't catch or lock up the suspect in the shortest possible time, then when he finds out about us or suddenly stops, and comes out again from time to time, what should we do then?" ”

Wei Xiao suddenly thought of a case.

Thirteen years ago, a similar case occurred in Tongcheng.

The murderer was a murderer who suddenly turned out to be a murderer who would kill a random woman every rainy night. At that time, Tongcheng coincided with the rainy season, and it rained for more than half of the days a month, and finally killed a "rainy night butcher" murderous name, the whole city was panicked, and even the leaders of the city bureau were changed three batches, and in the end the murderer was still not caught.

But in the end, the culprit was not caught, but after the three most likely suspects were locked, the culprit did not continue to commit the crime, but the culprit could not be arrested because there was no evidence.

However, it is difficult to tell whether the police forced the murderer not to commit another murder, or whether the murderer has killed enough people and is starting to get tired of it.

However, compared with Tongcheng thirteen years ago, the surveillance is now more intensive, the scientific equipment is more powerful, and the murderer's area and time are smaller, I believe that it will not be long before he can be successfully arrested.
