After PW accepted the case and began to investigate, some cadres immediately remembered Qi Yuan, who came to report the case a month ago, and then immediately turned out the report information at that time, and was surprised to find that the three murder cases were exactly what Qi Yuan said at that time. The time, place, and murder weapon, as well as the victim's name and occupation, are all completely matched.

PW immediately dispatched and rushed directly to Qi Yuan's home, because there was no doubt that Qi Yuan was the murderer.

Who knows, when I came to Qi Yuan's house, I found that he was dead, and he had been dead for half a month, and the cause of death looked like suicide, but after the scene investigation, it was believed that he was forced to cut his wrists after being fed medicine.

Chu Xia sat down and said: "Together with the time of the case, Qi Yuan's death time is earlier than the second victim's time, that is to say, Qi Yuan was already dead before Taishana died, so it can basically be judged that Qi Yuan is not a serial killer, but because he accurately knows the time and place of the victim's death, it is believed that he must have a connection with the serial killer." ”

Wei Chiran raised his hand and said, "Wait, how could he tell the time so accurately?" Even if the murder method and murder weapon are the same, and even the victim, there is no guarantee that the time is so accurate, right? ”

Chu Xia said: "This time refers to the time on the day of the crime, not to say, Qi Yuan said when he reported the crime, someone will die someday in the future, understand?" ”

Wei nodded slowly: "I understand, but even if this is the case, the time is too accurate, right?" ”

Chu Xia said: "So, at that time, PW people made a profile of the murderer, and first determined that the murderer was a very planned person, and he must be a one-dimensional person in daily life, he didn't like the rhythm of life to be disrupted, and even had some cleanliness habits, speculating on hatred of women, or hatred of female restaurant waiters." ”

PW began to investigate the people Qi Yuan knew, which can be said to be one by one, but Qi Yuan has almost no so-called real friends in life, and where he once worked, those people had vague evaluations of him, and his colleagues had almost no impression of this person.

In daily life, the only people who have intersections with him are his parents.

Fang Xunyi asked: "Isn't he living with his parents?" He died for half a month, and his parents didn't know? Or is his parents dead? ”

Chu Xia said: "Qi Yuan's parents traveled abroad in the first few days of his death because they got a big prize, and the time of the trip was a month, PW later investigated, someone deliberately bought such an expensive foreign free trip to their husbands and wives, and their husbands and wives naturally would not let go of pies falling from the sky." ”

Wei Chiran asked: "Then check and buy this person who travels abroad?" ”

Chu Xia shook his head and said: "Checked, the account was paid by someone hacked into the credit card account of an innocent person, therefore, PW's investigation direction changed to hackers, speculating that the other party is a person who knows computer technology, and the technology is very high, leaving no trace, at the same time, the investigation also found that Qi Yuan's favorite thing is to live on the Internet." ”

Fang Xunyi frowned: "Living on the Internet? ”

Chu Xia said: "This is not difficult to understand, right? Now most people are like this, almost everyone relies on the Internet, you can use the Internet to solve anything you do, Qi Yuan is no exception, his favorite thing is to surf the Internet, buy things online, pay utility bills online, make friends with people also go online, and Qi Yuan is also a game lover. ”

Wei Chi knew that things were finally getting to the point: "He once participated in the closed beta of "Real World". ”

Chu Xia said: "That's what I found out later, at that time Qi Yuan liked to play all kinds of games, and played very well, the most favorite to play is the kind of game that fights monsters to upgrade and save equipment, after checking, I found that he is particularly powerful in the game, and even sought after by many people, he also opened his own personal homepage for this." ”

Fang Xun recalled: "I understand, this person is two kinds of people offline and online, online is a powerful person, and offline is a loser in the eyes of others, right?" ”

Chu Xia said: "That's right, although he once had a girlfriend because of playing games, the girl admired him very much, and she also thought that others were interesting, so she went from the Internet to reality." However, the Internet and reality are two different things, in the Internet, this person may be very powerful, plus the reason for not living together, I can't find this person's shortcomings, but in reality, he is always a wreck, even if he can earn some money by playing games, but he can only make a living, and sometimes even upside down, not to mention that he has a completely different life philosophy from the girl, which eventually led to the breakup of the two. ”

Wei Chiran asked: "In the end, the murderer was caught, right?" Just tell me the result. ”

Chu Xia looked at the information in his hand: "Three months later, the murderer was arrested, the murderer is also a man, named Wang Lei, 27 years old, elite white-collar workers, has a fiancée, life is very nourishing, compared with Qi Yuan, the two are not the same class at all, and it can even be said that in reality they are not people from the same world at all." ”

Fang Xunyi asked: "How did you catch the murderer?" ”

Hatsu said: "PW has taken a reverse investigation approach. ”

Wei Chiran wondered: "Reverse investigation? ”

Chu Xia looked at the two of them and said, "Insert a sentence, the person who caught Wang Lei at that time was Hou Wan." ”

Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi were not surprised, after all, if Hou Wan didn't have the ability, how could he sit in the position of the Minister of Internal Security?

Hou Wan thought that there were too many clues in the case at that time, and PW also thought about the case too complicated, so he adopted a single thinking, gave up other complex clues, and started with those who tried to erase his connection with Qi Yuan, and after investigation, he immediately locked Wang Lei.

Because, among all Qi Yuan's friends, only Wang Lei alone blocked and deleted the friendship relationship with Wang Lei in the game he played.

When Wei Chiran heard this, he said: "There is another accomplice, maybe the mastermind, that hacker." ”

Chu Xia said: "That's right, but even Wang Lei doesn't know who the hacker is, and he doesn't even know that there is that hacker." After he was arrested, he quickly explained everything, and PW was surprised to find that all their profiles did not match Wang Lei's description at all, he had no mental illness, mental health, a happy life, and his fiancée was also very beautiful. ”

Since there is no mental illness, no hatred, and no revenge against society, why did Wang Lei kill people?

No matter how he interrogated, Wang Lei just said that he didn't know.

Although the murderer was caught, he didn't know why this happened, and the case fell into a quagmire. Procedurally, the case can be closed, but in fact, there are still many things that have not been clarified, so PW decided to put the case down for the time being, continue the investigation, and find out the reasons behind the matter.

Qi Yuan and Wang Lei have one thing in common, that is, they are obsessed with games. As far as Qi Yuan is concerned, except for being forced to go out to work when he has no money, the rest of the time is spent almost entirely in the game, except for food, drink and necessary expenses, the rest of the money is completely spent on the game, and most of the games he plays are so-called free games.

Fang Xunyi was puzzled: "Does it cost money to play free games?" ”

Wei Chiran said: "Look at you ask this to know that you don't play games, now the game is divided into three kinds, one is the buyout system, that is, after spending money to buy, you don't have to pay for any DLC released after the game, the second is that after you buy it, you also need to pay for the separately developed DLC, and the third is the so-called free in-app purchase game, this kind of game, on the surface, you download and register to play for free, but the game provides a lot of things that need to be purchased with real-world money, even if you can play without spending money, But merchants also use all kinds of marketing tactics to get you to spend money, so it's often more expensive to play for free than to buy for a paid game. ”

Qi Yuan even incurred foreign debts because of playing games, although it was not much, it was very difficult for him to repay it. However, he has long dreamed that playing games can change his life.

Fang Xunyi didn't understand: "How can playing games change your life?" ”

Wei Chiran explained: "How to say, some people can indeed devote themselves to playing games to make money, he plays very well, he can make video guides and upload them to the Internet, or be an online anchor, live broadcast his own games, earn tips, and become a professional player of a certain game, you know, now competitive games are also considered a kind of sport, similar to professional athletes." ”

It's true that playing games can change lives, but it's like buying and selling, everyone can do it, but not everyone can succeed. It's just that most people want to take a shortcut, to be tactful, that is, to do what they like, and at the same time to make money, to put it bluntly, is to complete their life dreams in entertainment and play.

The dream is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel, Qi Yuan did not succeed, he spent most of his time putting money into the game and did not earn it back, after all, he was a person without a plan.

And Wang Lei is different, his life is rich and beautiful, although he is obsessed with games, he also plays decently, he is not a master in the game, just an ordinary player. It's just that most of the time, Wang Lei knows how to plan in the game, just like he is planning his own life.

It can be seen from the recovered chat records of the two that Wang Lei will help Qi Yuan from time to time, but he does not need Qi Yuan to take him to play games, and Qi Yuan is also more dependent on Wang Lei, which forms an unfair treatment.

In the virtual world, Wang Lei does not worship Qi Yuan, but in real life, Wang Lei's life is what Qi Yuan pursues.

Chu Xia showed the chat records of the two on the big screen: "It can be seen from the conversation between the two that the so-called friendship between them is not equal, so Qi Yuan has been trying to achieve some kind of balance by being better than Wang Lei in the game, of course, psychologically, but Wang Lei doesn't care at all." ”

Wei Chi Ran understood: "So, in fact, there is a big contradiction between these two people. ”

Chu Xia said: "That's right, Hou Wan discovered this at that time, and used this contradiction to stimulate Wang Lei, because he found out that Wang Lei is very strong, but he can't reach Qi Yuan's kind of program in the game, so his lack of envy and jealousy is just hidden, in fact, he became friends with Qi Yuan, and he also hopes that he can play the game better, but he doesn't want to be so obvious." ”
