Chapter 54: Gambling-style choices
But what happened after that proved a problem - a week after the suspect died, there was another rape and murder in the same way. In other words, the serial rape and murder case has not ushered in an end, it is still ongoing.
When I said this, I looked at Mr. Li and said, Mr. Li, you should understand what I mean when I say this, right? After a long time, Mr. Li nodded silently, but his expression was still a little confused.
What do you mean to say...... The offender in this case is not a single person, but a plural, plural from the beginning. I shrugged my shoulders and said I don't know if it was a plural from the beginning, and the police of that country themselves don't know.
It's just that one thing is certain, and that is because the serial rape and murder case has dragged on for too long, so there is a very bad possibility.
If the murderers of serial rape and murder are plural, it is likely that those plural murderers are all referring to the methods of the first murderer who did such a thing. Coupled with the long investigation by the police, this gives them time to practice and adapt to learning.
And I personally think that this is the truth of the serial rape and murder case that will not be resolved in the end. After that, the police still couldn't find the real culprit, and the serial rape and murder cases naturally stoppedβof course, it had something to do with the fact that all the residents of the area moved away.
Once this kind of thing starts happening, no one knows when the end will come. I explained to Mr. Li that the reason why I felt that the students of Class A of the third year were going on a graduation trip was also because of this.
According to the current progress of things, even if you don't go on a graduation trip, you will keep the status quo, and it is estimated that the disappearances will continue to occur, and then ...... The police can only continue to remain in a state of helplessness.
Teacher Li, I think you should feel the deepest, some time ago, under the deliberate suppression of the city bureau, this disappearance case did not make any waves, but now a reporter has broken through the protective net, like a hyena smelling blood, ready to bite it.
When they start biting the school, biting the police, and creating public opinion, it will be too late, and it will be impossible for you to try to save it.
The people's hearts are not so easy to mobilize, especially the schools and the police, who are at fault, and they are even less likely to believe your words. When the black pot is on your back, whatever you say, the people will only think that you are talking about an excuse to excuse yourself.
On the other hand, this disappearance case is likely to be like the serial rape and murder case, with multiple perpetrators appearing one after another, and then the case will ...... If I say something ugly, it will almost become an unsolved case, and there is no possibility that it will be reversed.
And in a sense, the situation we are in is even more tricky, because if the murderer is in the class, the underage murderer, do you think you can sentence him to death if the evidence is not conclusive?
Not at all, and even when the media public opinion becomes bigger, even if you amend the constitution at that time, it will basically not work - the so-called law does not hold the public accountable, you don't have 100% evidence, you want to catch the most suspicious person to take the blame, and the public will never stop until they destroy your school and police station.
Maybe what I said was a bit extreme, after I finished speaking, I looked at Teacher Li's face was a lot paler, and her hands were tightly clenched on the black stockings on her knees. The nails hissed on the stockings, as if expressing the anxiety of the owner.
After a while, Lynn said that she also thought I might be right. Maybe my idea was a little too risky, but just as the detectives had the same opinion as the Hangzi - they must have been aware of the problem, so it was crucial to take the plunge to find the culprit through this graduation trip.
Saying this, Lin slowly pulled the chair to Teacher Li, and then reached out and grabbed her hands, Teacher Li slowly raised his head and looked at Lin. Lin said to her, Mr. Li, this may make you sad to say, but I still have to tell you - if you want to catch the murderer, it is impossible not to bleed.
Teacher Li shuddered slightly when she heard this, and slowly lowered her head, and I saw her biting her lip.
Lin whispered, "Don't go on a graduation trip and stay in Qianlong City...... The killer is not subject to any restrictions, and will continue to commit crimes, and the frequency may increase. And if you go on a graduation trip...... I don't think it's possible that there won't be victims, but at least we have more chances to find the prisoners. β
I nodded silently, agreeing with Lynn. According to our speculation, if the prisoner is a third-year Class A student, it is obviously easier to find the prisoner in an unfamiliar environment.
And if we say ...... If that prisoner is a ghost, if we go on a graduation trip, we will definitely find something weird. After all, we and the criminal police team will go with the students.
Of course, if the latter is the case, we may also be in danger - on the bed where Wang Dongcheng's body disappeared, the note on it is clearly written.
"If you continue to meddle in your affairs, I will kill you all."
This news, whether left by people or ghosts, in the current situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, the danger we will encounter is only high. But if we want to really catch the murderer, we have to bear this level of risk.
I've gathered enough information to determine who the killer is, but it's not hard to narrow it down. At least I don't think this disappearance case has anything to do with Class A in the third year.,It's a simple murderer.γ
From Wang Yaoyao's parents, Wang Yaoyao, Wang Dongcheng, as well as Cheng Kui, Li Xiao...... Plus Mr. Li. From the information obtained from these people, and from what I feel, I think that this disappearance must be a concrete manifestation of a serious problem caused by factors in their "circle".
Lin and I tried our best to convince Teacher Li later, but after thinking about it for a long time, she still didn't agree to us immediately, but said that she would think about it, after all, this matter is not for her to decide alone. The proposal now needs the nod of the school's board of trustees to pass the proposal.
Since this is the case, then there is no point in asking Mr. Li again, so we took our leave and returned home. On the way home, the weather was cloudy and the weather forecast said that there would be no rain today, but suddenly the clouds were thick and it began to rain heavily.
Lin and I were completely unprepared, and we were caught off guard and trotted all the way to the nearest bus stop.
This is my first time at this site, it is very shabby, and the chair sitting at the site is actually a wooden chair, and many places have shed their skin, revealing dry cracks. Even the bus stop map is just a piece of paper hung on a wooden sign.
Above our heads was a thin tin shed, not even joined together, two pieces of tin sheets pieced together left and right, with a curved diagonal line in the center.
The pouring rain hit the tin hut with a sound like a drum. The rain eventually collected near the central line of the tin shed, and along the crooked corners, drops of rain condensed and dripped onto the chairs. Lin and I sat on the side, looking at the cloudy sky, and the same was true.
"Lynn, let me tell you, I used to be an ordinary college student."
I stared at the center of the tin shed on the side, watching the rain condense and drip down from the cracks, and tried to open my mouth to eat the rain, but as soon as I ate two drops, Lin pulled it back and stopped it, she said dirty, there must be a lot of dirt on the tin shed, rust, bird droppings, garbage bags, whatever.
"I'm just a poor, daydreaming girl." Lynn smiled silently, shook her calf with her head down, and kicked a rock out of her feet.
I silently looked at her little feet in white cloth shoes, and whispered, "Then you say...... Like ours, can the combination of two rehabilitated men and women really solve this kind of confusing case? β
Lynn looked at me for a long time, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "If I'm alone...... Definitely not, but if it's with you, I think it can be done. β
"Why, I'm just like you, I'm an ordinary person." I smiled wryly and scratched my face.
ββ¦β¦ Because sometimes when I look at you, I can feel that you want to catch the prisoner, and then I myself become like that...... Now, I feel more like I'm doing things out of a sense of mission than saying that it's about completing tasks and then sharing the bonus. β
I totally understood Lynn's words, because I am like that now. Scratching my head, I wondered if I had been a person with a sense of justice and mission.
Then I came up with the answer - I definitely not. But now they are more concerned about this case than any policeman, and they want to catch the murderer, and they don't want any more victims to appear.
It's strange that sometimes it gets so fast that you can't even figure yourself out.
Gradually, a seven-colored dream bridge was reflected in the sky, and Lin and I glanced at each other, both smiling heartily. The clouds have cleared, and it's time for us to leave. However, just as we were about to leave, we saw an old woman walking towards us.
The old woman didn't look special, she was wearing a worn-out lavender-colored knit sweater, a tan skirt underneath, and a small pale pink flower umbrella in her hand, which was still stained with rain and dew, and she didn't put it away.
She was carrying a small dark blue schoolbag, about the size that primary school students would use when they went to school, rubber shoes on her feet, and gray hair, simple and simple coiled behind her head, and the fine folds on her face were like traces of the slow passage of time.
I don't know why, looking at such a simple old woman, after Lin and I passed by her, they all stopped slowly and thoughtfully.
I couldn't help but look back and find that the old woman was sitting quietly at the bus stop, then put away the umbrella, took the backpack to the front, took out a bun and thermos cup in a plastic bag from it, and ate it slowly.
ββ¦β¦β
Lin and I glanced at each other, didn't speak, but we both understood the question in each other's minds. The next moment, he turned around and walked to the bus stop.
