Chapter 25: Homicide
*
Jingfu City Police Department, Case Analysis Room.
A large projection screen shows a set of photographs of the murder scene, showing a man in a nightgown lying on his back in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open. On the floor around him, a large amount of blood had coagulated to a purple-red color.
Li Zhaoping, the captain of the reconnaissance team of the Beijing Municipal Police Department, introduced to the photo: "This is a homicide case that occurred in a residential building in Ping'an Community in the early hours of this morning, the deceased is named Zhao Yuejun, male, 36 years old, used to be the deputy director of the technology research and development department of a well-known Huaxing company in China, and is now a freelancer." The time of the crime was around 2 o'clock in the morning, and the deceased was stabbed twice, one in the neck, cutting the trachea and carotid artery; A knife in the chest, piercing the heart. ”
Zhang Nanhui, chief of the Jingfu City Police, said: "It's ruthless enough!" Has the murder weapon been found? ”
Li Zhaoping said: "I found it, the murder weapon was a fruit knife in the living room, and the murderer threw it in the corner of the wall and didn't take it away." ”
As he spoke, he switched the screen and displayed the photo of the murder weapon in front of everyone.
"Are there fingerprints?" Someone asked.
Li Zhaoping shook his head and said, "No." ”
In these years, there are very few stupid thieves who still leave fingerprints when committing crimes.
"What about the motive for the killing?" Zhang Nanhui asked.
"The lock of the door was picked open, and the technique looked very skillful, and there were many traces of being turned over in the house, ostensibly it was a burglary, and it was found that it was murderous." Li Zhaoping said.
"On the surface?" Zhang Nanhui blinked and said, "You mean it's actually not Luo?" ”
Li Zhaoping said: "Well, there are some doubts. ”
"What's the doubt? Let's talk about it. Zhang Nanhui said.
Li Zhaoping said: "The first is the choice of the target of the crime. The scene of the murder was a room on the top floor of a five-story building, and from the entrance of the building, there were the most people passing by on the way, and the chance of being found was also the greatest. Besides, there are many residents in this building who look richer than this one, so if the murderer wants to burglarize, why would he choose this one? Unless he's sick in the head! ”
Zhang Nanhui nodded: "Well, is there anything else?" ”
"And then there's the scene of the crime." Li Zhaoping continued, "The deceased was killed in the bedroom, assuming that the murderer made a noise and alarmed the deceased during the theft, and the deceased came out to investigate, as a normal thief, in this case, he should immediately choose to escape, but instead of running away, the murderer rushed into the bedroom and killed the deceased, isn't it strange?" And I think this murderer's killing methods are quite clean and neat, the knife is deadly, not like a thief at all, but like a professional killer! ”
The police officers present listened to Li Zhaoping's analysis and began to discuss one after another.
Zhang Nanhui stared at the photo on the screen and didn't speak for a while, as a senior police officer, from the first time he saw this scene, he had a strange feeling. Li Zhaoping's analysis is very correct, this should not be a simple burglary and murder case.
"Is there surveillance in the hallway? Did you ever photograph the murderer? Someone asked.
Li Zhaoping said: "There is surveillance, and I have also filmed it, but it is of little significance." The murderer entered at 1:50 a.m., and was so well concealed that he couldn't see his appearance at all. ”
Zhang Nanhui asked: "Have the social relations of the deceased been investigated?" ”
Li Zhaoping said: "After the investigation, the deceased usually did not have a grudge against anyone, nor did he have any economic disputes, and no one with a motive for killing has been found for the time being." ”
Zhang Nanhui thought for a while and said, "Let's mainly check according to vendetta." In addition, the murderer can also be investigated, a person who is very good at picking locks and is good at killing skills, I don't think it will be difficult to find, right? ”
Li Zhaoping nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The suburbs of central China, at the foot of Cuiping Mountain.
Dai Xiaoming, director of the technology research and development department of Huaxing Company, put down the PED, stretched his waist slightly, and moved his somewhat stiff neck, walked to the window and looked out.
It was completely dark outside, and a little yellow, yellow and white lights lit up at the foot of Cuiping Mountain, like twinkling stars hanging in the night.
It's on the edge of Central China, and it wasn't so long ago that the lights were much sparser than they are now. However, since the nuclear alarm sounded, many people who had lived in the city have been evacuated to the outskirts of the city, and the popularity of these fringe areas has suddenly increased.
It's so funny to say that the government is so funny that it is unheard of to let a gang of terrorists run rampant like this. I heard that not only in central China, but also in all major cities in the country were evacuated, causing a lot of chaos. And now that the situation is not under control, it is not known how long this chaos will last.
The panic shown by the people in the face of emergencies is catastrophic, they have snapped up all kinds of food in supermarkets large and small, and even the most unpalatable convenience foods that everyone usually does not look at have been snatched up. Almost all of them refuse to go back to work, but fortunately, a large number of intelligent robots are quietly contributing to them, so that the basic functions such as water and electricity supply can be maintained normally throughout the city so far, and these robots have really contributed to this.
Of course, as an elite in the robotics and artificial intelligence industry, Dai Xiaoming also made great contributions.
He stood at the window and looked out of the room for a moment, then walked out of the room into the living room.
An eight- or nine-year-old boy was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book, looking attentive. Seeing Dai Xiaoming come out, the boy raised his head and shouted, "Dad." ”
Dai Xiaoming stepped forward and touched his head, and said with a smile: "Binbin, what are you looking at?" ”
Binbin closed the book and said, "Dad, I'm reading Economics and the Currency War." ”
It was a hardcover paper commemorative edition of the book, which was usually placed in Dai Xiaoming's study, but he himself had never read it again. Dai Xiaoming sighed and said: "Child, can you not read these all the time, these books are not suitable for children of your age, you should read more fairy tales and the like!" ”
Bin Bin pursed his lips and said, "Those fairy tales? So boring! ”
Dai Xiaoming smiled bitterly: "But normal children should like these." You don't like it, it will make others think that you are abnormal! ”
Bin Bin thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, I know." ”
He put the book in his hand on the table, then picked up the PED and started playing.
"Well, that's right, good boy." Dai Xiaoming nodded with satisfaction.
He was about to go into the kitchen to make a cup of tea, when he suddenly heard the doorbell ringing, walked over and opened the door, and found a man in electrical overalls standing outside the door.
"Hello, are you Mr. Dai Xiaoming?" The man asked.
"I am, what's the matter?" Dai Xiaoming looked at him and said.
The man said: "I'm from the power company, because there have been a lot of new residents in the past two days, and in order to prevent power supply failures, you need to check your lines." ”
"Oh, okay, please come in." Dai Xiaoming let him in.
The electrician observed the environment in his home, looked at Bin Bin sitting on the sofa and said, "Is that your son?" ”
"yes." Dai Xiaoming smiled and said, "Binbin, call uncle!" ”
"Uncle." Binbin.
"How old are you?" The electrician asked with a smile.
Dai Xiaoming said: "8 years old. ”
The electrician asked, "Just the two of you at home?" ”
Dai Xiaoming said: "Yes." ”
The electrician asked, "Where's his mother?" ”
Dai Xiaoming smiled bitterly and said, "Divorced." ”
"Oh." The electrician nodded, didn't say anything more, stood in front of the electric switch in the house, skillfully opened the gate, and began to inspect the wiring inside.
"How? No problem, right? Dai Xiaoming stood beside him and asked.
"This switch seems to be a little old, it's better to replace it." The electrician said as he reached into his kit to find the tools.
"Which one?" Dai Xiaoming stepped forward curiously and asked.
The electrician didn't answer, his hand pulled out of the kit, but instead of a wrench or a keiko, he had a sharp knife!
"Hey-you!" Dai Xiaoming only had time to scream half a time, and the sharp knife had already stabbed him in the chest!
Dai Xiaoming was stabbed, and immediately clutched his chest and fell to the ground with a "plop".
It was also his life, because he felt some chest tightness recently, he went to the doctor not long ago, and the doctor thought that his heart had some signs of premature aging, so he gave him a physiotherapy device and let him wear it on his chest for a few hours every day, and the tip of the electrician's knife was impartial, just on the small physiotherapy device.
Seeing that his blow didn't work, the electrician immediately pounced with his knife again, and stabbed Dai Xiaoming again with the tip of the knife! At this moment, I saw something fly like lightning, and smashed right on the electrician's wrist, knocking the sharp knife in his hand out as well!
Binbin, who was sitting on the sofa playing a game, found that the electrician had drawn a knife and committed murder, and immediately grabbed the book "Economics and Currency Wars" on the table and threw it over, and he himself immediately jumped up and fell in front of the electrician with a "whoosh".
The electrician was stunned after the murder weapon was taken off, obviously he didn't expect this little hairy boy to have such skills, but his reaction was also extremely fast, and he immediately swung his fist at Binbin. Binbin's small body twisted, and his fist flashed slightly, and at the same time, he used his strength to make a clever turnover, and the electrician fell hard to the living room floor.
The electrician made a loud noise as he fell to the ground, and smashed a hardwood coffee table in front of the sofa, but he himself did not seem to be seriously injured, and quickly got up from the ground, looked at Dai Xiaoming, and then at Binbin, his eyes were full of surprise.
"Your son is a robot?" The electrician asked.
Dai Xiaoming also stood up from the ground at this time, glared at him and said coldly: "That's right, it's the same as you!" ”
As soon as this guy entered the door, Dai Xiaoming could already see that it was a robot. It uses the 3rd generation of artificial skin, although it looks almost the same as a normal human on the surface, but if you look closely at it, you can still find some flaws, how can you hide the eyes of Dai Xiaoming, who deals with robots every day.
But what Dai Xiaoming didn't expect was that this robot would actually pull out a knife to kill him.
As a senior industry insider, Dai Xiaoming knows that there are actually many cases of robots hurting humans, but most of them are accidental injuries caused by loopholes in program design and various coincidental factors, and he is really unheard of such a robot taking the initiative to pull out a knife to kill people.
"How do you have a robot son?" The electrician asked curiously.
Dai Xiaoming didn't answer him, but asked rhetorically: "Why did you kill me?" Who sent you? ”
The electrician shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you this!" ”
Dai Xiaoming's brows furrowed tightly, this robot can not only kill people, but also hide information from humans, which is really against the sky. I don't know which guy who killed a thousand knives would dare to modify the basic security settings of the robot like this, no matter what his purpose was, he would definitely regret it.
