Taipei Police Department Conference Room, Case Meeting.

"Special mold was found in the brains and noses of the three deceased, and steel pellets stained with the same mold were also found on the floor of the woman's room. There are very small holes dug in the steel shots, and it is preliminarily judged that someone should have filled the mold into the small holes and placed them in the deceased's room, so that the mold can be emitted into the air and eventually inhaled into the body of the deceased. Li Bowen wore a sleeveless tight T-shirt and walked back and forth around the conference table with a cigarette in his mouth, casually talking about the current case.

Huang Huotu's eyes were bloodshot, he yawned heavily, and translated Li Bowen's words to Kevin Wright as they were.

Qi Zihuan didn't have any right to speak, and sat aside in a daze.

In the morning, he drove the police car to pick up Kevin Wright, and when they arrived at the police station, Huang Huotu was still curled up in the small bed in the office and slept, unable to even stretch his feet.

He remembered that Huang Huotu still had some vitality yesterday, and he said in the car that he was going to move home to sleep and create a stable family environment for his daughter.

Kevin Wright frowned and looked at the scene photos in the case file, took a sip of coffee, looked up and asked, "In addition to Qiu Miaofang's house, did the other two scenes, especially Lorenzo's site, find this artificially made steel pellet with mold?" ”

Huang Huotu is still listlessly translating.

"The brothers have searched back and forth, but no."

It was Chen Guofeng who spoke, he held his hands behind his head, Erlang's legs were cocked, and he was holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Kevin Wright silently glanced at several criminal officers who were chatting and smoking in the conference room, and then asked, "So has it been confirmed that this black mold has a definite relationship with the deaths of the three deceased?" ”

"Not yet, to be honest we don't even know what this thing is, and we can't be sure if it's poisonous or not. At present, Taiwan's technology cannot be found, and it is still waiting for the test report of the US side. After Li Bowen answered, he continued, "Now no obvious motive for the murder has been found in the three murder cases, and no intersection has been found in the victim's relationship circle, which shows that the three should not know each other." And on the third deceased, Lorenzo, he himself drew a Dao rune pattern. ”

Ah Sheng, who was sitting on the side, handed over a close-up photo of the Dao Talisman that was sorted out during the autopsy.

Qi Zihuan glanced at the side and found that although the whole picture was a little crooked after the wound was sutured, it was complete with the head and feet of the talisman, which was quite complete.

There are three hooks on the head of the talisman, which means that it is a three-clear symbol, and there is an edict below. But when it came to the part of Fu Gut, Qi Zihuan didn't know him.

"We have inquired with the Taoist Association about this talisman, and they have never seen this kind of talisman, but it must be related to Taoism." Ah Sheng explained.

Kevin Wright turned his head sideways and listened to Huang Huotu's translation, and said: "You shouldn't go to religious associations, they are transactional management bodies, and the clerks usually don't know much about relevant religious knowledge. This kind of thing should be consulted by a senior professor of religion or history. ”

Someone at the conference table extinguished the cigarette butt, took out the cigarette and walked around, chatting with each other, and no one cared about what the Yankee and the interpreter Huang Huotu were saying.

"Listen to me." Kevin Wright saw the commotion, knocked on the table with his hand, and waited to attract everyone's attention before he spoke, "Does anyone know why these three dead people were picked?" I believe that the focus of the investigation should be on the pattern of the murderer's selection of victims, and once the pattern is found, a major breakthrough will be made in the whole case. ”

"Everything else is a waste of time!" He concluded by saying.

The last sentence completely angered everyone present, several of them were old criminal policemen for one or two decades, but they were taught a lesson by a newcomer to the Yankees, and they all felt that they couldn't hold their faces.

Someone sneered and said, "Didn't you just say that there is no obvious motive, and the lives of these three people have nothing in common......

"Isn't this nonsense something written in the textbooks of the police academy? We invited him all the way to talk this nonsense? Ah Sheng said coldly to Li Bowen.

Chen Guofeng had the most irritable temper, slapped the case file in his hand on the table, and shouted: "Who is in charge of things now?" What a few handfuls of FBI, grass! ”

Kevin Wright turned his head to look at the yellow fire earth and asked him with his eyes what these people were talking about.

Huang Huotu lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he told in English with his ear: "They said that they appreciate your opinions very much, and they will definitely consider these suggestions in the future." ”

The conference room was still boiling and noisy.

"There is a connection between the three of them."

A small but clear voice rang out.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, they realized that it was the college student surnamed Qi who was talking.

"What do you mean? Why don't you tell a reason......" Chen Guofeng was scolded by Qi Zihuan in public last time, and he hated a lot, so he scolded and scolded.

Li Bowen squinted at Qi Zihuan for a while, and then stopped in a cold voice: "Guofeng, don't talk nonsense, let Xiao Qi finish speaking." ”

At this moment, even Huang Huotu and Kevin Wright looked at this young man who did not have a strong sense of presence in confusion.

Qi Zihuan stood up, walked behind Li Bowen, and took out a few crumpled newspaper clippings from his pocket.

At the same time, Lang Sheng said: "I have studied these three victims, they are in different social classes, living environments and acquaintances are completely different. However, I noticed that they had one thing in common, that is, they had just been in the newspaper. ”

After speaking, he held up a newspaper clipping, and the bold headline read, "President Taifeng forcibly dumped poison, and the foreign worker was unwilling to testify in court."

After a moment of display, he took out another one - "The American priest is suspected of being involved in the arms procurement fraud case."

There is also a third one, which is the report that Qiu Miaofang was sued by the wife of the legislator for obstructing the family.

"All three had negative press and were in the newspapers about a week before they died." After Qi Zihuan finished speaking, he gently placed the newspaper clippings on the table in front of Li Bowen.

Chen Guofeng's anger had not subsided, and he said disdainfully: "I know that this is useful, so many people are in the newspaper every day, why did you choose the three of them?" ”

Of course, Qi Zihuan knew the answer, but he couldn't say it at this time.

What does the old saying say?

Half a step ahead is a genius, and three steps ahead becomes a martyr.

However, Qi Zihuan was not annoyed, and slowly walked behind Chen Guofeng, and said leisurely: "You said that there was no connection, so I gave you the connection, and now you ask me the criteria for selection...... If you have a case in your hand in the future, will you come to me, a rookie, to make a divination? ”

After speaking, he patted him lightly on the shoulder, and two words jumped out very deeply.

"Senpai!"
