Chapter 6: The Next Man

Gu Yue discovered a suspicious point, the deceased's posture when he was killed was not like in the photos at the scene.

Li Yong hurriedly asked: What suspicions did you find?

Gu Yue stepped forward and pointed to the photos of the scene and said: Look at the posture of the deceased in the photos at the scene, is it a little too regular, the deceased was strangled to death, even if the murderer's hands and feet are tied in this process, but people's desire to survive will still make his body move, so it is impossible for the deceased to be without struggling in the process of being killed, that is to say, the deceased lying on his back on the sofa was deliberately sorted out by the murderer, and the direction of the sofa arrangement in the hotel cannot be like this, so this orientation is not a bit of a problem.

After Gu Yue finished speaking, he rushed to the murder scene again, Gu Yue looked at the direction of the corpse, the corpse was facing the small table by the window, that is, the bedside table, there was a lamp on the bedside table, Gu Yue walked forward quickly, looked up and down, and then reached out and groped in the lampshade, suddenly Gu Yue's face changed, and he pulled out something from it, and looked carefully at it It was a mobile phone.

This is a smartphone, Gu Yue opened the phone, the phone was easily opened without a password, and after opening it, the phone displayed a text message that was not sent out after editing, and the text message said: "The next person".

The number to be sent by this text message did not note the name, and the case took a turn in an instant, this smartphone was deliberately left at the scene by the murderer, and the murderer also edited such a text message.

Why did the murderer deliberately leave something at the scene, was it a provocation or a show-off?

The three of them returned to the office of the special case team and immediately launched an investigation based on this mobile phone, and after investigation, the owner of this mobile phone was the deceased, and the person who edited the text message to send was a person named Wang Xinmin, who was the captain of the urban management team, and the special case team realized that the situation was not good and immediately went to the place where Wang Xinmin worked to check, but the result was that it was a step too late, and Wang Xinmin was missing.

Wang Xinmin's colleague confessed that Wang Xinmin answered a phone call at around 9 o'clock, left the office, and didn't say what he was going to do, and the others had never seen Wang Xinmin at all, and they only saw Wang Xinmin driving away in a hurry during the surveillance.

After testing, there were no fingerprints on the mobile phone deliberately left at the scene, not even the fingerprints of the deceased himself, which shows that the murderer deliberately wiped the fingerprints on the mobile phone, so all this was premeditated, and now Wang Xinmin's disappearance must have something to do with the deceased.

On the other side, Lin Yunfei and others who went to Wang Xinmin's house had arrived, but the door of the house was locked and no one responded when they knocked on the door, Lin Yunfei's keen sense of smell smelled blood, there was really no way Lin Yunfei kicked the door in, and after entering, he found that Wang Xinmin had been killed, and the whole person was lying in the middle of the living room in a big character, surrounded by bloodstains, Wang Xinmin was covered in a pool of blood, and his white shirt was soaked in blood.

The fact that the blood on the ground did not dry indicates that the crime did not take long, but it was one step too late for the murderer.

Song Wenjia squatted on the ground and examined the corpse and said: The murderer is committing a crime in front of our eyes, and he is too bold.

Suddenly there was movement in the bedroom, Lin Yunfei made a silent gesture, slowly entered the room with a gun, there was no one in the room, a big wardrobe attracted Lin Yunfei's attention, he slowly stretched out his hand and pulled open the wardrobe door, and found that there was a woman and two children in the wardrobe who were looking at him in horror, the three of them were tied hands and feet behind their backs, and their mouths were wrapped around several circles of tape, the woman was full of tears and cried, sweat stuck the messy hair to the forehead, the child's eyes were red and frightened.

The three were rescued.

Lin Yunfei frowned and said to a police officer: Take it out, don't let the children see the corpse outside, and notify the people in your bureau to block the scene.

Song Wenjia briefly examined the body and said: The deceased was cut by someone's throat, which is a fatal injury, and the tendons of the hands and feet were broken, and the G pill was cut off and stuffed into the mouth.

Lin Yunfei said: It's not that complicated, the murderer can control the family as long as he controls a child.

Lin Yunfei continued: Why did the murderer change his modus operandi?

Song Wenjia said: I don't know, maybe there is not enough time.

The scene was blocked, and the rest of the special case team also rushed to the scene, Li Zhitong turned around the scene and said: The method of killing is very random, but the way of revenge is very uniform, that is, to put it to death, the murderer did not kill Wang Xinmin's family, which shows that the murderer only seeks revenge and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Lin Yunfei looked at Gu Yue and said: If you have a grudge with the captain of the city management, you may be a vendor, but who will be the one who has a grudge against the deputy chief? I can't imagine what kind of person it will be if I have a grudge against these two people at the same time.

Gu Yue felt Lin Yunfei's gaze and said: Don't look at me, I don't know.

Hey, by the way, let's look for the deceased's mobile phone. The deceased's mobile phone should still be here, in the last case, the murderer left the deceased's mobile phone to hide somewhere, provoking us There is the next case, if this is still the case, it means that the murderer still has a target.

"The mobile phone is with me," a trembling voice said when everyone was about to look for the mobile phone, this person is Wang Xinmin's wife.

Sure enough, as soon as the phone opened, it was the interface for editing text messages, and it was still a sentence: the next person, but this time there was only an edited text message without a recipient.

Li Zhitong said: If you want me to say that it should not be said to be provoking us, but pulling us, guiding us to the next case, and making us out of the correct case-handling process, and the first case and the second case are separated by such a short time, it is obvious that she is leading our rhythm, if we continue to follow this rhythm then we will not find out anything, now what we have to do is to return to our rhythm, go back and redeploy, there may be new dead people soon.

All members of the special case team went back and held a meeting to discuss the case, and this meeting consisted only of the special case team and the local police officers involved in the case.

Song Wenjia said: Why did the murderer guide us to handle the case?

Li Zhitong said: I want to prove that I am very smart.

Li Zhitong said: We are facing a guide criminal who thinks he is very smart, in order to highlight his cleverness, the stupidity of the police, she will leave clues at the scene to guide us, change the rhythm of our investigation, the clues she left are very important but not very useful. She may want to know the progress of our case so that the next crime can be done, and the murderer thinks she is very smart, but in fact, the murderer is really smart, and will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal.

Li Yong said: As far as we know, the murderer just wants to seek revenge unilaterally, so we need to investigate the recent records of confiscation by the chengguan brigade and the incidents of violent law enforcement.

Gu Yue said: The murderer may have suffered from the violent law enforcement of the chengguan and held a grudge.

Song Zetao said: Some chengguan are hateful, holding chicken feathers as arrows, and now many people describe chengguan as smashing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, and mentioning chengguan is synonymous with rampant and domineering.

Song Wenjia said: There are also some civilized law enforcement chengguan, and we can't generalize from partiality.

Both sides have their own opinions.

Li Yong said: Okay, back to the topic, I think we still have something missing, in terms of modus operandi, why is there a difference in modus operandi between the first case and the second case?

Song Wenjia said: Could it be that it was because Wang Xinmin resisted that the murderer had no choice but to change his modus operandi, first, Wang Xinmin had rebellious scars on his body, and second, the murderer broke Wang Xinmin's tendons in order to prevent him from escaping and resisting.

Li Zhitong said: Now we have three directions of investigation, the first is the modus operandi, the second is the relationship between the murderer and the two victims, and the third is who Wang Xinmin's mobile phone text message is going to send. If you figure out these three points, the case will almost have an eyebrow.

At this time, Director Yao suddenly said: The deputy S chief has some connections with the captain of the urban management team.

Everyone looked at Director Yao.

Director Yao continued: The deputy S director recently has a task to create a beautiful and civilized city and work with the captain of the urban management team, in fact, the so-called beautiful and civilized city is to tear down the courtyard wall in the suburbs, build a shame wall, and do not allow any things, sundries, flowers and plants to be left on the roadside, and the deputy mayor will personally guide and supervise the work.

Such a passage makes the case begin to become clear.

Song Zetao said: Then the deputy mayor also has something to do with this urban management law enforcement incident.

Song Wenjia said: Isn't it clear that the case like this is clear, and the deputy mayor and the captain of the urban management team violently enforce the law.

Song Zetao muttered in a low voice: I was still defending the chengguan just now, and my position changed so quickly.

Song Wenjia said: Xiao Song, what are you muttering? Be careful that I dissect you.

......

Li Yong said: Now we should focus on investigating the conflicts in the construction of this civilized city, and we must investigate clearly whether they are big or small.

Chengguan is an embarrassing profession, saying that officials are not officials, saying that the people are not people, civilized law enforcement, and violent law enforcement are intertwined, but violent conflicts between chengguan and residents are constantly occurring.

After a series of visits and investigations, the special case team set its sights on a young man named Chen An, who clashed with the chengguan when he demolished the courtyard wall, and was beaten by a group of chengguan and knocked out two teeth, his leg was broken, and his lower testicles were kicked out.

The special case team questioned Chen An, and Chen An walked slowly into the interrogation room step by step on crutches, and Song Wenjia wanted to help on the way, but his self-esteem made him reject Song Wenjia's kindness.

Chen An is a recent college graduate, returning home penniless, with no job and no income, and this college student with good grades knows nothing now.

Chen An entered the interrogation room on crutches, sat on a chair and leaned his crutches to the side, looking at the person in front of him with a flat gaze, everything was so orderly.

Li Yong took everything in and said: Chen An, I came to you today to ask you a few questions.

Chen An said: You ask.

Li Yong said: Do you know who beat you like this?

Chen An said: Who else can there be in that group of city managers.

Li Yong said: Who is it?

Chen An said: I don't know who a group of people is, but they all shot anyway.

Li Yong said: Do you know that the chengguan who beat you is dead?

Chen An said that his expression changed and said: I don't know.

Li Yong looked at him and changed his expression, and that expression was clearly joyful.

Li Yong said: What were you doing around 11 o'clock last night?

Chen An said: Around eleven o'clock, I was sleeping.

Li Yong said: Who can prove it for such a certainty?

Chen An was surprised and said: You won't doubt me, right? I'm a victim.

Li Yong said: No, we just ask.

Gu Yue, who had been silently speaking beside him, spoke: Who will take care of you at home?

Chen An was puzzled: My mother, does this have anything to do with who takes care of me?

Gu Yue said: Just ask.

......

After a brief questioning of Chen An, it was found that he showed no signs of lying, and he did not have the time to kill yet.

Song Wenjia said: I am a little skeptical, it is not difficult to see from the murder of the first victim that the murderer is a woman, but we are now investigating a man, why?

Gu Yue said: The murderer may just be a woman, does not rule out the possibility of cross-dressing and accomplices, in many cases, in order to cover people's eyes, male murderers will dress up as women to commit crimes, such as the snow high heels case, that is, men wearing high heels from the murder scene to imitate women to commit crimes, but I think this case is more inclined to be committed by accomplices, after all, the characteristics of the deceased are in line with the injuries suffered by Chen An, and Chen An's legs and feet are also inconvenient.

Li Yong said: I also think so, the murderer's modus operandi is almost the same as the injury suffered by Chen An.

Several members of the special case team were discussing when suddenly Li Yong received a phone call, Li Yong hung up the phone with a heavy face and said: Another corpse was found.
