Chapter XI: Consolidated Investigation
With Chen Xi's efforts, the police combined the three cases for investigation, and at the same time, because of the impact of the bombing case, a special task force was set up within the police department.
In order to help solve the case, Wei Zhongwen naturally returned to the police station and participated in the investigation of the case as a consultant.
Early in the morning, Wei Zhongwen came to the police station, and everything was still the same, as if he had never left.
"Team Wei!"
"Good morning, Team Wei."
……
The continuous greetings made Wei Zhongwen a little unaccustomed, he hadn't felt like this for a long time.
Familiar with the car to the conference room, which was already full of waiting police officers, Wei Zhongwen just pushed open the door, and felt Qi Shushu's gaze.
This feeling of being in the limelight made Wei Zhongwen extremely uncomfortable.
"Team Wei, you're here."
"Yes, hello." Smiling awkwardly and saying hello, Wei Zhongwen entered the room and chose a corner place to sit down.
"Now that we're all here, let's get started." Chen Xi smiled slightly, and said with full aura, obviously Wei Zhongwen's arrival made her very encouraged.
"Let's start with this recent case. The deceased, Zhang Jingya, died in a rented house, and after identification, he died by suicide and self-immolation, because he caused an explosion at the same time as he set himself on fire, and we claim that it was a 512 bombing case. Because it was an explosion case, this case has caused a great impact in society, and we must attach great importance to it and strive to crack the case in the shortest possible time. ”
After Chen Xi finished speaking, he looked around at the various police officers present, and his expression was full of supervision.
Subsequently, Chen Xi continued: "We took the 512 bombing case as a starting point and reversed the other two cases. In the second case, the deceased Xu Ziqing, died in a rented house, died half a year ago, committed suicide by cutting his wrists, and died of excessive bleeding. He was not found until the third day after his death. After his death, his boyfriend Qin Kai disappeared. ”
"Let's talk about the third case, the deceased Lin Xiao, committed suicide by jumping into the sea, drowned, and died two years ago. Similar to Xu Ziqing's case, after Lin Xiao's death, her boyfriend disappeared. Chen Xijie said.
"So, what these three cases have in common is that all three people died by suicide, right?" After listening to Chen Xi's words, some people raised questions.
"On the surface, this is true, but Xu Ziqing's case is a bit complicated, and the latest evidence suggests that she may not have died by suicide, but by homicide."
"It's okay to say if he kills, but if all three cases are suicides, is there any need to investigate?" Apparently there was no understanding of the three cases.
Hearing the doubts, Chen Xi was not surprised, but said confidently. "The reason why the three cases were investigated together is because they all have one thing in common."
"What do you have in common?"
"These three deceased people had the habit of writing diaries before they died, and in the diaries of the deceased Zhang Jingya and Lin Xiao, they all clearly indicated their willingness to commit suicide. And as it turns out, they did. The other deceased, Xu Ziqing, found no evidence in his diary that he wanted to commit suicide, and there is also new evidence that Xu Ziqing is likely to have died of homicide rather than suicide. But before that, Xu Ziqing's case was characterized as suicide. ”
"This can only prove that Xu Ziqing's case was wrongly judged, how can it be explained that there is any connection between the three?"
"Yes, but the strangest thing is that these three diaries are from a single person, which means that someone for some reason has all three notebooks at the same time and sends them anonymously to a research institute. Moreover, someone sent these three diaries by mail for some purpose, and the reason why we found out about this case is because the deceased Xu Ziqing was good friends with Tang Yuran, a researcher at the research institute. ”
"How could it be such a coincidence, that is, it is very likely that the sender knew the relationship between the deceased Xu Ziqing and researcher Tang Yuran before mailing it, and it is precisely based on this that the sender will choose to mail the diary to the research institute instead of other places."
"That's right, from the current situation, we can't rule it out." Chen Xi said, nodding in agreement.
"Since two of the three cases were convicted of suicide, is it possible, in fact, only Xu Ziqing's case is the prominent focus of the other party, and the other two are just confusing the police."
"If we want to find out what the purpose of the other party is, it is necessary to re-investigate these three cases and list all the possibilities one by one, only then can we make further judgments on this basis. As for what the sender's real goal and purpose are, it is not yet possible to determine what it is. Chen Xi replied, changed the conversation, and continued: "However, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the sender just wants to provide the necessary information. So whatever the motives of the person who mailed these three diaries, he must have known some information that we don't know, and the top priority is to find a way to find this person, and only by finding out can we further find the common ground of these three diaries. Chen Xi said, not in a hurry or impatient, her tone was full of confidence, and she was already able to shock the audience at this time.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongwen couldn't help but feel relieved, looked at Chen Xi in front of him, and smiled unconsciously.
In just a few years of training, this once young police officer has already been trained into an old police officer who can take charge on his own.
Wei Zhongwen thought about it and couldn't help but sigh.
"Team Wei, do you have anything to add to these three cases?"
At this time, Wei Zhongwen was thinking about something, but he was interrupted by Chen Xi's voice, and he didn't react at once. "Huh? You mean these three cases, right? ”
"That's right, you came into contact with this case earlier than us, and you must have found some useful clues, please tell us about it." Chen Xi said, smiling unconsciously.
"Okay." Wei Zhongwen didn't shirk, stood up straight, walked to the whiteboard in front of him, took the black pen from Chen Xi's hand, turned around and wrote something on it.
"Based on what we have now, it can be seen that all three deceased were young women and had had unpleasant experiences with their boyfriends before their deaths. Two of the women clearly stated in their diaries that they had committed suicide because of their emotional frustration. So the boyfriends of the three deceased occupy a pivotal position in all three cases. ”
"In other words, the focus of our next investigation should be on these three people, right?" Chen Xi asked.
"That's right, cases of emotional disputes often have all kinds of hidden secrets, which are much more complicated than cases of vendetta and money disputes. And judging from the disappearance of her boyfriend, we might as well boldly speculate that the case is not as simple as it seems. Even if the deceased may indeed have died by suicide, there must be a hidden secret behind his suicide. ”
"That's right. Judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case, if it weren't for the bad things done, no one would just disappear out of thin air. ”
Moreover, of the three cases, Xu Ziqing's case is the most prominent, and before that, the case was characterized as a suicide. The available evidence suggests that Xu Ziqing most likely died from homicide, not suicide. From this point of view, if we investigate the other two cases further, will there be evidence that the other two deceased did not die by suicide, but homicide? ”
"This possibility is not impossible, because the special nature of suicide cases does not rule out the possibility of miscalculation." Chen Xi said, and his tone couldn't help but add a little heaviness. "If this is really the case, could it be that the sender has long known the truth about the death of the three deceased, and he wants to use the hands of the police to overturn the three cases?" Chen Xi boldly put forward a hypothesis.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and for a while, the police officers looked at each other, if it was really as Chen Xi said, this was tantamount to a resounding slap in the face to the police.
"Is this a provocation?" Finally, someone couldn't hold back and raised questions.
Most of the people present were some strong-blooded police officers, and Chen Xi's words made them feel an inexplicable hostility. Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, Wei Zhongwen said: "This person's purpose is not the police. ”
"Team Wei, what does this mean?" Chen Xi asked rhetorically.
"If the sender has a good grasp of the truth of the three cases, he will not send the diary to the research institute, but will send it directly to the police station, or directly publish the contents of the diary on the Internet and issue a challenge to the police. The reason why the other party sent the diary to the research institute is that I think his idea is simple. That is, Tang Yuran of the research institute is a good friend of the deceased Xu Ziqing, and in the six months since his death, Tang Yuran has always believed that Xu Ziqing did not die by suicide, but by him, and during this period, Tang Yuran has been investigating Xu Ziqing's case alone. ”
"Then according to what you said, the other party actually wants to help Tang Yuran, right?" Chen Xi said as if he understood something.
That's right, such an inference is more in line with the sender's mentality. But there's another bit of useful information that we can capture. ”
"What's the message?"
"Although the other party chose to send the diary to Tang Yuran and wanted to help her, at the same time, this help was anonymous, that is, the other party did not want to be involved in this case, he took great pains to hide his identity, and could only say that he wanted to be alone and did not want to cause trouble for himself."
"That's right, judging from the current situation, it is indeed like this." Chen Xi nodded in agreement. Wei Zhongwen's analysis is indeed very reasonable.
"One more point, I have to make it clear." Wei Zhongwen said, his tone suddenly becoming serious. He looked around as if he was worried.
