Chapter 161: Discovering the Pattern
But it shouldn't be, right? After all, our group of people, under my leadership, has done a very high job of strictness.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
At half past ten o'clock in the evening, when it was time to call it a day, Xiao Liu, who was dressed in disguise, returned to my car and said to me: "Officer Lu, everything is the same, he is still the same as yesterday, there is no abnormal phenomenon, and he has not interacted with any suspicious people." ”
Hearing this, I was silent.
When Xiao Liu saw it, he immediately asked me, "Officer Lu, what are you thinking?" ”
Then I turned my head to look at him, and said truthfully, "I always feel a little strange about this." The more normal he seemed, the more abnormal I felt. But even I can't tell why?! ”
Xiao Liu lowered his gaze, as if he was helping me think about it.
Not long after, Xiaokang returned to the back seat of the car, "Everything is still the same as before." His life and itinerary have been almost the same for a hundred years, and I am also drunk with him. ”
Xiaokang's unintentional words actually gave me great inspiration.
That's right! Xu Hengan's activities are really too regular! Maybe that's the problem, right?
"Xiao Liu, show me his itinerary for so many days."
"Good!" Xiao Liu immediately took out his mobile phone and opened the Excel file to show me Xu Hengan's itinerary.
After reading it, I found a pattern: Xu Hengan repeats the same life every three days. Every three days, I would sit and repeat what I had done three days ago, go to the same place, and meet similar people.
After I discovered this pattern, I told Xiaokang and Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu said: "This may be the life of a big boss, right?" ”
Xiao Kangden had a different opinion, and said with a wry smile: "I don't think so, right? After all, how can any big boss really repeat the same life every three days? If it's once or twice, then I can consider it a coincidence. But there are too many coincidences piled together, and it's really suspicious. ”
Xiao Liu immediately raised his eyes, pondered, and asked, "Then why is this happening?" ”
"Maybe we've been tricked by him!" Xiaokang said without thinking.
Xiao Liu retorted: "It's impossible, our secrecy is so good, he shouldn't have a reason to find us, right?" ”
"It's really hard to say." I said in a deep voice.
Xiao Liu pondered carefully for a while before he said, "Then do we want to give up this operation now?" After all, if I continue like this, I feel that it may be in vain! ”
Xiaokang immediately agreed, and even said: "I have long felt bored to death!" Officer Lu, in fact, we might as well collect evidence and arrest him directly. ”
Xiao Liu understood me better, so he said: "If the deputy director wanted to do this, then he would have done it a long time ago." After all, with the clues he has so far, it is enough to arrest him. But what about after his arrest? It's not like we haven't caught similar suspects. ”
Xiaokang then understood, nodded, and said, "Okay, but it's not a way to go on like this." Don't you think? “
"So we've come up with something new." I decided, "I'll take you home first." ”
"No, let's just take the car by ourselves." Xiao Liu hurriedly said.
I dropped them off anyway.
When I came back, I saw Zheng Li, who had been thrown away by me to do other tasks, sitting on the sofa.
She looked like she was watching TV, but there was nothing going on on it. She didn't even have to look back to feel that it was me, "Coming back?" ”
"Well, yes! Aren't you sleeping yet? ”
"It's okay, it's still early, it's only 12 o'clock!"
Hearing that she was a little sullen, I immediately walked over and explained to her, "You know, I'm going to investigate the case. ”
"I know, but the question now is, how long are you going to check? Are you going to stare at him like this for the rest of your life? It's not that there are no other cases to investigate. There are a lot of cases in the police archives now, why do you have to choose this one? After speaking, Zheng Li looked at me angrily and helplessly.
I breathed a long sigh of relief, then nodded and said, "Yes, there are indeed cases in the police station that can be investigated for me, but I have a little tendon." But have you ever wondered how much effort all of us have put into this case? Ni Jiaxin is still in the hospital. ”
"Ni Jiaxin?" Zheng Li suddenly repeated the name.
That's when I realized that I seemed to be saying something wrong, and I realized what she was thinking.
"Could it be that what you are doing now is actually for Ni Jiaxin?" Zheng Li asked me.
I hurriedly explained, "Of course not. ”
But before she could explain clearly, she got up and walked towards her room.
I sat on this couch a little sluggishly, and my thoughts were very wandering. I thought about what was happening in front of me for a moment, and suddenly I thought about the case again.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that I got up and decided to go back to my room to rest.
However, these three hours were wasted in vain, because I didn't come up with anything constructive at all.
When I got back to my bedroom, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for a long time.
I stayed up until six o'clock, and when it was dawn, I got up immediately. Actually, I kind of want to escape, escape from Zheng Li. Because I feel the psychological pressure she gives me at work and in my relationship.
Maybe that's what I can't afford.
After successfully avoiding it, I went to the police station.
However, as soon as I arrived at the office, I fell asleep on my desk.
It wasn't until I heard the sound of "knock knock" that I raised my eyes and looked over.
It turned out that Chen Fang had come over, and he was sitting across from me at this time.
As soon as I wanted to call him, he asked me first, "Why are the dark circles so heavy?" Is it because you didn't sleep well yesterday? ”
"It's okay, are you coming to me for something?"
He pondered for a moment before he said, "There have been many cases recently, and the police station is understaffed. So I thought, you'd better pause the investigation of that case, right? ”
"Then let the murderer get away with it?" I asked.
Chen Fang raised his hands and rubbed his own face, and then said, "Of course not, we will still arrest Xu Hengan." ”
"What's the use of arresting him? As long as the truth is not found out for a day, the fundamental problem cannot be solved. Even if a few hundred more heinous suspects die, that won't reduce the crime rate. I said.
Chen Fang spread his hands and asked, "But what if you don't do this?" This case is like a mountain that cannot be moved. Lao Lu, you and I are not fools, because neither of us lives in mythology. We are people who live in reality and have to eat. ”
