Chapter 272: Broken
Because there is no evidence that Xiaojing's death is directly related to Luo Tong, the police collected Luo Tong's DNA and shoe prints and let him go back to rest.
In the conference room, Qiao Sheng and Zhao Hongshan, the two criminal police captains, sat at the table with sad faces, silently swallowing clouds and spitting fog, each thinking about their own thoughts. Needless to say, within a week, two tragic murders occurred in the small county of Jinshui, and they not only had the pressure to solve the cases on their shoulders, but also the pressure exerted by the superior leaders.
Five years ago, Qiao Sheng and Zhao Hongshan were colleagues in a task force who failed to the murderer once in the "6.18 Murder Case". If they can't catch the murderer again this time, and continue to let him/her act recklessly, even if the leader doesn't hold them accountable, they themselves will be embarrassed to continue in their original positions.
The atmosphere in the conference room was suffocating. Gu Song's gaze wandered on their faces for a moment, and seeing that neither of them had any intention of speaking, he couldn't help but clear his throat and said: "According to the surveillance video in Sheephorn Hutong, Luo Tong followed the victim Xiaojing to the vicinity of the residential building at 8:09 on the night of the crime, and reappeared in the surveillance screen 6 minutes later. Regardless of whether Luo Tong was telling the truth just now, and whether the purpose of his tracking of Xiaojing was to protect him, these short 6 minutes were simply not enough for him to commit crimes and clean up the scene.
According to another surveillance video, at 8:04, the suspicious woman dressed as a man passed by the same location and did not turn back from the alley until 8:41, with an interval of 37 minutes, which is completely consistent in terms of the time of the crime. Because the end of the alley is a dead end, the suspect has no other choice but to venture under the surveillance probe, but she is very confident in her disguise and is not afraid of the police recognizing her identity. Compared with Luo Tong, this woman's suspicion of committing the crime is obviously greater.
Gu Song paused for a few seconds, seeing that Qiao Sheng and Zhao Hongshan were looking at him intently, the expression on his face changed from sadness to expectation, and his heart relaxed a little, and continued: "This case looks similar to the past, but in fact there are some differences.
"First of all, why did the murderer change the location of the crime from a public toilet in a remote location to a residential building? Doing so greatly increases the risk of encountering witnesses.
Secondly, the murderer's goal this time is relatively clear. Surveillance cameras in the alley captured the suspect following the victim to the vicinity of the residential building more than once, and arriving at the scene a few minutes before the victim on the night of the crime. If she is the murderer of Xiao Jing, she will definitely hide in the residential building, waiting for an opportunity to attack the victim.
Through Luo Tong's narration, we learned that Xiao Jing is a very vigilant girl, and the reason why she carries anti-wolf spray with her may be that she senses some kind of danger around her. There are all kinds of indications that the murderer knows Xiao Jing's work and rest time and living environment very well, and he has been secretly monitoring Xiao Jing for a while. So the question is, why did the murderer target Xiaojing? Why take a certain risk to kill Xiaojing at home? Are they strangers to each other, or is there some kind of social connection?
"In addition, Xiao Jing is Luo Tong's lover, and Luo Tong is one of our criminal suspects. Although Luo Tong did not have sufficient time to commit the crime, as far as the current situation stands, we are not completely sure that he has nothing to do with this case. ”
"Therefore, we will focus on investigating the social relations of the victims and finding out the contradictions." Qiao Sheng pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and finally spoke.
Zhao Hongshan also woke up like a dream, "Focus on investigating the relationship between men and women." A woman kills a woman, and she is so vicious, it's not because of the hatred caused by emotional disputes. ”
Hearing Zhao Hongshan's words, Gu Song suddenly patted his head, "If it is a contradiction caused by the relationship between men and women, Luo Tong may not have anything to do with this matter." According to our judgment, the age of the female suspect is about 30 years old, about the same age as Luo Tong, you say......"
"Yes!" Before Gu Song could finish speaking, Qiao Sheng slapped the table and said, "Continue to investigate this Doctor Luo and see if there are any suspicious women around him." The murderer will target Xiaojing, maybe he will go to the man next to her. ”
"There's one thing I don't understand." Zhao Hongshan immediately asked, "If the murderer's target is Xiaojing, how can Feng Yuhua, who was killed before, explain?" ”
"I think there are two possibilities." Gu Song compared a scissor hand and said, "First, the murderer has no clear target, and there is no social conflict between her and the two victims. She also followed and monitored Feng Yuhua, but this process was ignored by us. Second, the murderer has a clear goal, that is, to kill Xiaojing. And the cases committed before that may have been for practice and warning. ”
"Warn whom? Xiaojing? Zhao Hongshan asked suspiciously.
"It's also possible that Luo Tong." Gu Song replied uncertainly, "Before I found out their social relationship, I was just guessing. ”
Back home, Luo Tong sat in the dark living room, grabbed Xiao Jing's coat left on the sofa a few days ago, and hugged it tightly in his arms, as if holding his lover. There was still a faint smell of perfume on his clothes, which was Xiao Jing's favorite jasmine scent, and he could smell this familiar smell every day in the clinic.
He didn't want to imagine what Xiao Jing's body looked like when it was mutilated by the murderer, and he didn't even want to go to the morgue to see Xiao Jing for the last time. He hopes that Xiao Jing will always be the lively and lovely appearance in his mind, and what he wants to remember is the plainness and beauty of the past, not a bloody nightmare.
There was no shortage of nightmares in his mind. Ever since his wife and children were killed in a tragic car accident five years ago in the winter, the nightmarish scene has been etched in his memory, leaving him devastated, desperate and devastated.
He spent a long time healing, from physical to mental, during which he experienced many nightmares, and finally bravely stepped into a new life.
He knew that he was not qualified to fall in love with Xiao Jing, but with Xiao Jing, he regained the happiness he had lost for a long time. For the first time since his wife and children left, he felt that he was no longer a walking corpse, but that he really had a sense of being alive.
He thought that he could live a normal life again, form a new family with Xiaojing, and have a healthy and beautiful child. But he ignored one person, one who was like a ticking time bomb to him.
They met in 2011 and formed a bad relationship. Thinking of the stupid things he had done at that time, he regretted it so much that his intestines were blue. If he had known that such a tragedy would happen today, he should not have let that person live in the first place.
Xiao Jing is dead, but the current matter is far from over.
Luo Tong has no relatives and no reason, and he has nothing to worry about, and there are some things he has to do in person......
