Land Breeze (10),
Before dawn, a figure climbed in through the outer wall and landed on the school's parking lot.
He stood up and looked around, there was not a single car, it was empty. He recently heard that the principal had bought a new car, but of course, he didn't stop here, who is not afraid of the dark when he sees the hell?
He came to the scene of the crime and turned on his flashlight. Except for some unrelated scratches on the concrete floor in the aperture, it is completely impossible to see what happened that day.
He had to close his eyes and carefully recall, at that time, they concluded that the perpetrator was standing on the car and smashed the car with stones based on the footprints on the car cover, and based on the time the school workers arrived at the scene and the extent of the damage to the vehicle, they determined that there were multiple criminals.
Normally, such cases of multiple crimes are quickly revealed, but so far they have no conclusive evidence. His instincts told him it was time to overturn his assumptions and think differently.
He paced in the parking lot, the distant horizon beginning to glow white, and though the dome was still shrouded in darkness, he was sure of the morning light, just as he was sure that he was getting closer to the truth.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The car destruction case was not a big case, and his colleagues in the bureau advised him not to spend his energy on it, and even his boss warned him: "Team Zou, your case-handling ability should be put in a more important place." ”
He understands these voices, but he disagrees. Although the case is small, every step of the way makes people suspicious and indecisive, which shows that the perpetrator has a very high IQ. If this criminal genius is not strangled in the cradle now, they will be even more cunning and monstrous criminals in front of them in the future.
From now on, he decided to give up playing the game of inference by following in the footsteps of Boy X. He began by proposing a bold hypothesis that there was only one offender and that all the acts were done by that person alone. In other words, in just a few minutes from the time the school worker heard the siren and arrived at the scene, he left the car badly damaged and covered in scratches.
Is this possible? He pondered. If so, what is his modus operandi? He folded his arms and fell into deep thought.
The parking lot in the morning light gradually appeared in front of him, and the "parking lot" was actually just an open space surrounded by the teaching building and the fence, which doubled as a place for students to play when not parking, and it was 400 meters away from the school worker's residence, and according to the testimony of the school worker, he only saw a back over the wall. But, the back? Wouldn't that be too much of a coincidence?
What if it is deliberately made to let the other party only see their own back? But how does this work? He calculates the relationship between speed and distance over and over again in his mind, looking for the best meeting point.
The full name of the Zou team is Zou Yiguang, and he is nicknamed Yiguang in the police force, because no matter how difficult the case comes to him, he can always find a ray of light in the intricate information network, relying on his extraordinary perseverance and ability to observe details.
But he found that no matter how he calculated, the result was back to the beginning, and one person could not complete these tasks in a short period of time. A set of simulated images flashed through his mind, just like the one he had when he first saw the scene, in which there were at least four students, one standing on the hood of the car, one in the back of the car, two of them smashing the car with boulders at the same time, and the other two scribbling around the car with sharp stones (sharp stones were also found at the scene), this process only happened for about 20-30 seconds, and then the four of them ran to the wall and jumped out of the wall in turn, and when the last person was ready to jump out of the wall, the school workers were late......
No, it's not! Team Zou patted his face to free himself from this preconceived notion. Wait, he had a flash of inspiration, why did the criminal commit the crime at dawn? Why not in the early hours of the morning, not in the middle of the night, but at this time? Is it a coincidence?
This thought was like a dawn in the distance, breaking the darkness in his heart. Then, like a chain reaction, he gradually cleared the dense fog in front of him and climbed to the top of the mountain step by step, and finally, the face of the person shrouded in backlight appeared in front of him.
Standing on the balcony of the school library, Zou took a deep breath of cigarette and then spat the smoke ring into the air, the white smoke ring spreading through the air and finally disappearing into the sunlight. He knew that smoking in school was somewhat inappropriate, but because it was school time, he didn't have to worry about being seen by students. He heard footsteps behind him and hurriedly snuffed out his cigarette.
"Team Zou, people have brought it!" His partner Xiao Cheng said. Xiao Cheng was followed by a teenager, who was not tall and wore a pair of thick glasses. Team Zou gave Xiao Cheng a look, and he walked away.
"Are you Lu Feng?" He walked over to the boy and asked with a smile.
Lu Feng nodded.
Team Zou opened the door of the library and said, "Come, let's go in and sit!" ”
There was no one in the library at the moment, and after they sat down at a large desk, Team Zou took out a test paper, without any explanation, and asked, "Do me a favor, can you make these papers?" ”
Lu Feng took the paper and looked at it, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, he looked at Team Zou, the other party was looking at him carefully, so he had to pick up the pen and do it on the test paper.
Each question on the test paper is a multiple-choice question, and from several abstract figures, a figure that conforms to the law of change is selected. As the land breeze was doing, the noisy sound of cicadas came in from the window, mixed with the sound of reading aloud floating over the school, forming a unique summer campus impression.
"It's time!" Team Zou looked at his watch and read, and at the same time took out the test paper in Lu Feng's hand, and took out a copy of the answer correctly. After a long while, he raised his head to look at Lu Feng, and said with a complicated expression: "IQ 200? ”
Lu Feng didn't say anything, and stood up: "If the police officer has nothing else to do, I'll go back to self-study first." ”
"Wait, kid." Team Zou smiled and said, "I'm afraid I won't meet a few people with an IQ of 200 in my life, so sit down and talk to me!" ”
He spread out the IQ chart in his hand and said, "Although it is not a formal test, it shows that your IQ is indeed very high. But to be honest, I thought you would be doing a lot of answers on purpose? ”
"Why am I doing this?" Lu Feng asked.
Team Zou smiled: "Because you don't want others to know how smart you are, just like your grades in the class have always been in the middle of the class." ”
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean......"
"No, you understand," Zou said suddenly, sternly, "you understood everything from the moment you were called out of the classroom by the police, because you were smarter than I thought. ”
"......" Lu Feng was silent, but the wavering in his eyes was clearly visible.
Team Zou continued: "You don't think anyone will find out about your methods, indeed, I was puzzled at first, but in the end I figured it out.
Why do you want to do it at dawn? Is it a coincidence? On the surface, it's easy to think of a group of bad teenagers roaming the streets on Chinese New Year's Eve, breaking into the campus on a whim at dawn and smashing the hated principal's car. Although we knew from the beginning that this was a deliberate crime, we also targeted the students who didn't return home at night, and this is a misunderstanding you created. ”
Lu Feng put his hands in his pockets, noncommittal.
"It's no coincidence that the choice to start at dawn is right? Because this time happened to be the time when the school workers were about to get up, only the alarm at this time would not be disturbed by him for a wild cat. In other words, when a school worker is asleep in the middle of the night, even if he hears an alarm, he will only think it is a false alarm, am I right? ”
Lu Feng lowered his head and pressed his feet against the crossbar under the table to prop the chair off the ground.
"So, you didn't start at dawn, you started earlier, no, you spent the whole night wrecking that car."
Lu Feng raised his eyes slightly, falling into memory. After getting Yan Xiaojun's test papers, he found a place to hide and waited for the end of the last inspection of the school worker. In the wee hours of the morning, after confirming that the school worker was asleep, he took out the sharp rocks he had prepared and began to row the car over and over again.
He had already thought about it, and at first he would demarcate a more hidden place, even if he really woke up the school staff to come and check, it would be impossible for him to find it in the dark. As a result, the school worker did not wake up at all, and Lu Feng carefully lengthened the interval between each row to ensure that no one could hear the obvious pattern.
One night passed, and at dawn he felt that the time was almost right, so he smashed the hood with the large boulder he had prepared, and then ran to the trunk of the car and smashed it down in the same way. He saw the lights on in the dormitory from the corner of the wall, so he climbed over the wall as he had calculated, and finally let the panicked staff see his back......
Lu Feng withdrew his gaze and said nothing.
Team Zou said: "My guess is not wrong, right? For the above reasons, I changed the scope of the investigation to investigate students who stayed at school and did not return home, and as a result, I immediately locked you down. Do you remember the last two students on duty to leave the classroom? They all said they saw you in the classroom after school, and according to the testimony of the school staff, they were the last to leave the school. ”
Lu Feng still didn't reply, just kicked the beam under the table with his foot over and over again.
"Lu Feng, you're living alone now, right?" Team Zou said with a pleasant face as if he had suddenly changed people: "Your mother has entered the prison cell, and the crime is child abuse, which should have left a big shadow on your heart." Although my father is a director, he has no feelings for you. Your childhood was very different from that of others, because no one gave you the right guidance, so you went down the path of crime. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Originally, I made up my mind to bring you to justice, so that you can only enter the juvenile detention center, but now I have changed my mind, I don't want to ruin your future, I want to train you into an outstanding talent, with your IQ, whether you are a police detective or a scientist, you will attract the attention of the world, so I want you to promise that you will never put your mind on this crooked way in the future!" ”
Lu Feng raised his head, and for a moment, just for a moment, Team Zou seemed to see Lu Feng smile gratefully, but soon, this laugh turned into ridicule, Lu Feng smiled and said: "I'm sorry, officer, the crime process you said is very interesting, I like to read mystery novels since I was a child, but to be honest, I really don't understand what these have to do with me, because I didn't stay in school at all that night." ”
