16. Cults

"What do you think of?" Yuan Jing already felt that Wei Renwu had an eyebrow for the case.

"One sip of wine left." After speaking, Wei Renwu drank a full glass of vodka.

"Like I said before, we are too focused on the surface of the case, so we have been led by the nose." Wei Renwu stroked the eight-character beard and continued to narrate.

Yuan Jing just listened, not daring to interject.

"Let me ask you a question." Although Yuan Jing didn't interject, Wei Renwu still asked him to speak, "Who is the 'Confessor'?" ”

Yuan Jing shook his head: "How do I know who he is?" If I had known, I wouldn't have sat here discussing the case with you, and I would have arrested him right away. ”

Wei Renwu laughed: "You misunderstood what I meant, I mean, according to what you know now, guess what kind of person the 'confessor' is?" ”

In this way, Yuan Jing has some opinions: "First of all, the 'penitent' is undoubtedly a serial killer, he brutally killed three people, and the methods are the same, from the current evidence, the 'penitent' is supported by weapons, because he used 'sarin' nerve gas on the deceased, and he is also an acquaintance of the three deceased, so the deceased will be unsuspecting to his way." It can be seen that the 'penitent' is a clear-minded, cruel, but psychopathic killer. ”

Wei Renwu nodded approvingly: "To sum it up well, this is basically our opinion of the 'Confessor', so let me ask you, how did we first identify the 'Confessor' as a serial killer?" ”

Yuan Jing didn't understand why Wei Renwu asked, "Isn't this an obvious thing?" ”

"How obvious?" Wei Renwu asked.

"There are three dead people who were killed by the 'penitents', so he is a serial killer." Yuan Jing explained in detail.

Wei Renwu nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, then how do we determine that the three deceased were all murdered by the 'confessor'?" ”

"Because they all died in the same way, is there anything wrong with that?" Yuan Jing had no idea what Wei Renwu meant by letting him say these obvious things.

"Yes, it's the problem here, the same approach." Wei Renwu finally pointed out his intentions, but Yuan Jing still didn't know what the purpose was.

Wei Renwu went on to explain: "This is exactly what the murderer wants us to see, this is an initial misleading, the same method, we think that the 'penitent' did it, from here it is a mistake, and every step in the future will be a mistake." ”

"Wait." Yuan Jing's head had been stirred into a pulp by Wei Renwu, "The same technique, we can't think that the 'confessor' did it, so who should we think did it?" ”

"You can also think that the 'penitents' did it, but you have to look at the 'penitents' correctly." Wei Renwu stroked his stubble.

Yuan Jing covered his head and replied bitterly: "Ah, I don't know at all how to look at the 'penitent' is correct. ”

Wei Renwu laughed: "Forget it, it's not difficult for me to be for you, I'll tell you clearly, I suspect that the murderer is not a person, so the 'confessor' is not a person, this is the correct way to look at the 'confessor'." ”

"Not alone?" Yuan Jing was shocked.

"I'm not saying that he is not human, I'm just saying that there is more than one murderer in these three cases, it is possible that there are three people." Wei Renwu emphasized again.

"How is this possible, it's obviously the same method!" Yuan Jing could hardly believe Wei Renwu's reasoning.

Wei Renwu nodded and admitted: "That's right, in terms of inertial thinking, the murderer should be a person with the same method, and we also started the investigation from this point, but what is the result?" In addition to the modus operandi, we can't find the connection between the three deceased, or even the people they knew together, and in the end this is a dead end, not only can we not solve the case, but we ignore some things that should be paid attention to. ”

"It's not scientific, if the murderer is not a person, then how can the same method be done?" Yuan Jing asked rhetorically.

Wei Renwu took out a cigarette and lit it before replying: "After we have overturned the theory that there is only one murderer, let's see if the theory that there is more than one murderer can be established." ”

"Let me hear your analysis." Yuan Jing was waiting for Wei Renwu's analysis.

"Remember when I told you in my dorm about the 'sarin' poison gas terrorist attack on the Tokyo Camp Subway?" Wei Renwu asked Yuan Jing rhetorically.

Yuan Jing nodded: "Remember, you said that it was 'Aum Shinrikyo' who did it." ”

"That's right." Wei Renwu took a deep puff of his cigarette, "That's what I want to say, if the murderers are three people, then we should find a connection with the three murderers, the connection between them seems to me to be like a cult similar to the 'Aum Shinrikyo', if someone above them instructs them, the same method is very likely to be realized, and the meaning of 'confession' may be a kind of cult belief propaganda." ”

As soon as Yuan Jing heard the word "cult", he couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart, and he was terrified, he suddenly felt that he had inadvertently been involved in a terrible case.

Wei Renwu whispered to himself: "The common cases are like a thread that connects them, and this is also like religion connecting human beliefs. It turned out that Master wanted to express this meaning, and I was so stupid that I didn't even think of it now. ”

"What did you say?" Yuan Jing didn't hear what Wei Renwu was whispering clearly, he thought it was something important.

"Nothing." Wei Renwu shook his head, "Anyway, let's revisit the question of who the murderer is." ”

Yuan Jing was puzzled: "Then who will the murderer be?" ”

The corners of Wei Renwu's mouth went up, revealing a strange smile: "Isn't this obvious? ”

Yuan Jing didn't react for a while, but after he saw Wei Renwu's smile, he suddenly opened his mouth: "Could it be that you are talking about Wang Peng, Li Wei, and Wang Yuan?" ”

Wei Renwu nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, the three of them themselves are the three most suspects, first of all, they are acquaintances of the deceased, there is no doubt about this, it can well confirm the theory that the murderer we investigated before was an acquaintance of the deceased, and secondly, they all had a relationship with the deceased, they had motives, and in the end, what was bad was just evidence." If the three of them had been investigated earlier, maybe the case would have been solved earlier, where would so much effort be wasted, this is all a cover for the so-called same method, which is really good. ”

"So, are Wang Peng, Li Wei, and Wang Yuan members of the cult?" The concept of a cult lingered in Yuan Jing's mind.

Wei Renwu nodded: "If it is determined that they are murderers, then they are cult members." ”

"But how do you know for sure?" Yuan Jing asked rhetorically.

Wei Renwu didn't answer immediately, he looked very surprised, as if he had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong?" Wei Renwu's look of seeing a ghost is what Wei Renwu showed when he saw Yuan Jing himself, he didn't understand why Wei Renwu looked at him like this, could it be that he was a ghost?

Wei Renwu snuffed out his cigarette and pointed at Yuan Jing with his finger: "The evidence is all in you, you actually asked me how to confirm it?" ”

"The evidence is with me?" Yuan Jing subconsciously touched his satchel and the pockets on his body, but he didn't find anything that seemed to be conclusive evidence at all.

"Hahahaha......" Wei Renwu laughed heartily, "You are really a fool, who told you to turn over, I didn't say that the evidence was on you, what I said was that the evidence was put away by you." ”

As soon as he said this, Yuan Jing suddenly remembered: "You mean that half a bottle of detergent and a 'Zwilling people' fruit knife?" ”

Wei Renwu nodded: "Exactly, this is left by the murderer, and it is also the thing that can best prove the murderer, since we can roughly predict the suspect, we should use these two things to prove whether Wang Peng and Li Wei are the real murderers." ”

"How do you prove it?" There was a new development in the case, and Yuan Jing couldn't help but get excited.

"Actually, it's very simple, before I asked you to go to Yu Bingjie's house to investigate whether Yu Bingjie had bought detergent, now it's a day or two before the crime, go to Wang Peng's house to investigate and see if you can find evidence that Wang Peng bought detergent, if Wang Peng is the murderer, then you will definitely be able to get something." And Li Wei is a little easier, the knives of 'Zwilling Ren' are not sold in some small shops, you can go to some larger supermarkets or * stores to look for them, and you can find relevant evidence. In fact, Wei Renwu already had such an arrangement in his heart, which is why Wei Renwu asked Yuan Jing to put away these two things.

"What about Wang Yuan? How do I investigate? "Yes, Wang Yuan is a problem, Yuan Jing has no evidence against Wang Yuan in his hands.

"Speaking of Wang Yuan." Wei Renwu paused, "The Wang Yuan I found in the casino today, he obviously owes a lot of debt, but he still has money to gamble, which shows that he may have obtained a windfall, it is very likely that it is ill-gotten gains, if you check his bank account, you should be able to find out the abnormality." ”

Yuan Jing was a little puzzled: "Are you saying that after Wang Yuan killed Xu Donghai, someone gave him a sum of money?" ”

Wei Renwu nodded: "I know you think it's a little incredible, it sounds like buying a murderer, but the truth may really be the case, as for the reason, I think it is necessary to investigate it in depth, after all, they can even get 'sarin', and the matter will naturally not be too simple." ”

"Alright, I'll start investigating now." Yuan Jing is a resolute person, and after speaking, he is ready to start acting.

"Okay, you go investigate now, let's find out the organization behind the three of them." Wei Renwu paused, "Or that person." ”
