57. Confrontation

The reason why we often add the word "perverted" in front of "serial murderers" is because they are perverted to such a point, either they kill people without blinking for a reason, or they are cruel and cruel, or they like to torture their victims and watch them live worse than dead.

I once heard Zhuang Jing say that when some people torture and kill, the hormones in the body will burst, producing a kind of violent pleasure similar to orgasm, and the desire for this pleasure will prompt the murderer to commit murder again and again.

What we are encountering right now may be such a pervert.

And, it's not all.

By the time of the "Disembowelment" and "Oil Painting Cases", the murderers were not only becoming more and more skilled, but also more and more particular about the pictures, colors, and layouts, in short, more and more artistic, as I clearly perceived in the two scenes.

I believe that when the original "disembowelment" happened, the tree on which the corpse rested must have been blooming, and the wilderness suddenly flourished, how beautiful.

In other words, the murderer of the original case is not only a master, but also a master with culture and a certain degree of artistic accomplishment.

I used to listen to Zhuang Jing's lecture and say that in some murders, we can't find the murderer anyway, because we never thought that the murderer would be that person anyway. Some cases are brutal, but the perpetrators may not be as vicious and gloomy as we think. They are probably very ordinary people, the kind of people who can't be found when they are thrown in the crowd. They may have beautiful families, a group of children, a well-paid job, a social status that others envy, and may even be particularly high in some aspects, but these halos hide their bloodthirsty and murderous nature, and no one will associate them with murder unless there is the most direct evidence.

This passage can probably be used as a profile report of the murderer of this original serial murder.

I asked the old lazy if I disagreed.

He was silent.

His silence made me think that this was a good sign, and that he had finally given up on his previous assertion that the indiscriminate murder of sociopathic groups was biased in favor of my analysis.

Bai Yafeng obviously didn't understand much, he was confused, and turned his face to look at Xiao Hai from time to time, as if he wanted to see if she understood, Xiao Hai was still in a state of birth, and the world had nothing to do with her, and he didn't know how calm.

I said to the lazy man: "It is likely that the Hand of God has committed more than these few murders, maybe there are those that have happened but have not yet been included in us, and there may be those that have not happened but may happen at any time. This is an act of revenge by the family of the deceased in the original case, and it will never stop until the revenge is over, and similarly, once the revenge is completed, the alliance will disintegrate on its own, and there is no need to worry about it happening in the future. Therefore, the most important thing now is the cooperation of Dai Furong and Liang Baoshi, to find out how many murders the murderer of the original serial case has committed, and who the murderer is, so as to move the investigation forward. ”

The old lazy man was still staring at the dossier materials silently, and it took a long time to look up and ask me: "If you are the perverted murderer in the original case, how will you commit the next case?" ”

I thought about it and shook my head: "It's hard to say. The murderer does not follow religion or similar methods, so there is no pattern to find, he simply likes to torture the victim and get perverted pleasure from the pain of the other person's life is worse than death. In this way, there are countless possibilities, and there are many kinds of torture that can be used from the tortures used in all Chinese dynasties, such as skinning, cramping, cannon branding, Ling Chi, waist beheading, riding a wooden donkey, Iron Lady, sandalwood punishment, rolling nails, ......"

Before I could finish speaking, he suddenly interrupted and said, "Huh? What kind of punishment is that sandalwood punishment, it sounds good, and it seems to be a little familiar, you tell me, how did you get it? ”

I gave him a blank look and asked him to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy books by himself, there is a book with this name, and the author has won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

When he saw that I despised him for being uneducated, he hurriedly changed to other questions and said, "Come on, don't talk about those useless things, just say it, if you are a murderer, what to do in the next case?"

I said, "Go, don't compare me to the murderer, I don't think he's good enough."

After finishing speaking, he turned his face to look at Bai Yafeng: "Tell me, if you are the murderer, what to do in the next case." ”

Bai Yafeng was already stunned, but when he saw me suddenly ask him, he was even more stunned, stunned.

The old lazy couldn't stand it, shook his hand and said, "Come on, you compare him with the murderer?" The murderer thought he was not good enough. ”

Bai Yafeng was innocently lying on the gun, and he couldn't think of a counterattack, so he was uncomfortable and looked painful.

Lao Lao and I were discussing the entry of the country, and suddenly we heard a roaring footsteps and noise on the other side of the stairs, Fu Yuxin was talking, Liu Yimin was talking, Hu Hailian was talking, this asked that question, and ordered the other person to do what. That should be here and there, it feels like the chaos of an important meeting in the movie, urgent and serious.

The footsteps split into two groups at the top of the stairs, and most of them continued upstairs, and two people came this way, walked to the door, knocked on the door, and shouted to the lazy man, telling him to hurry to the conference room upstairs for a meeting.

The old lazy glanced at me, and walked out lazily, not at all cooperating with the hurricity of the others.

Liu Yimin ran over and hurriedly told me that there had been a major breakthrough in the case, that they were about to have a meeting, and that they were going to have lunch first, and that they would study it together after the meeting was over.

I nodded, took Xiaohai out for a bite to eat first, and then came back and waited.

Who knew that this would be a full ten hours.

During the ten hours we were waiting for the results of the meeting, Liu Yimin went downstairs twice to find me, saying that things were very troublesome and telling us to go back first.

The more he said this, the more I didn't want to leave, saying, "It's okay to go back anyway, it's the same wherever I stay." I can wait. ”

He had no choice but to follow me.

Bai Yafeng didn't attend the meeting, and he was already off work, but seeing that Xiaohai and I didn't leave, I had to stay and accompany him. His level and IQ are not enough to participate in the emergency meeting that is being held in the conference room upstairs, and he seems to have nothing to do, so he has nothing to say and Xiao Haitao, no matter how much Xiao Hai is unwilling to take care of it, he will not give up, he will take care of himself, he looks very stupid, I always want to laugh, for fear of disturbing his little luck, so I hold back and ignore it.

It wasn't until half past ten in the evening that the meeting ended, and I sat upright listening to the sound of chairs dragging and the sound of mixed footsteps in the conference room upstairs, and let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that it was finally over, and that I could hold the meeting for so long, and I must have made a major breakthrough from Dai Furong's side.

I listened to the sound and walked outside, walked a few steps to the side of the stairs, and saw several people coming down from the upper floor, two of them were reporters I had seen at the scene of the "oil painting case" before, a man and a woman. The woman's expression was ugly, and she hurried downstairs, not squinting, although the man's face was pale, but his spirit was very good, his steps were very steady, and he stopped and glanced at me.

After the meeting, more than 20 minutes passed, and Lao Lai, Fu Yuxin and Liu Yimin finally came to me, their faces were ugly, but compared to the few times they slipped out of the venue halfway, it was much better. Liu Yimin sat down and cursed with swear words.

It was Dai Furong who was scolded.

It turned out that the more than ten hours that had just passed were not meetings at all, but confrontations.

It turned out that the reporter named Dai Furong had been facing off upstairs for more than ten hours with the most important criminal police in the overall situation.

She promised to tell the police everything she knew, including providing photographs of the original "oil painting case" and background checks she had done before, on the condition that she had the right to report on today's cases and to request the right to know and the right to report publicly on the previous four cases.

Just such a little thing, it took more than ten hours, during which Fu Yuxin also left the conference room several times to call the lawyer, asking whether Dai Furong's request had any legal basis, and if she continued to carry it with the police, could she be charged with obstructing law enforcement.

But whether she can sue or not, whether she will really eat a lawsuit, Dai Furong just doesn't let go, she looks like she is used to seeing the world, and then she simply broke the jar and broke it, telling them to directly detain her, anyway, the police have done such a good job of secrecy, and she can't run out of any convincing reports outside.

After playing Laipi, she threatened half-softly and hard, saying that her assistant was watching the matter of her entering the game, and if something bad happened, public opinion outside would make a disturbance, and she would not be responsible for the aftermath.

No wonder Liu Yimin was so angry that he ran outside and threw a cup.

But fortunately, later Dai Furong took a step back, saying that it was okay not to let the report, but at least let her see the basic materials and on-site photos of the five cases before and after.

But even then, the police couldn't do it, because she was a journalist, and she was a reporter who could cause headaches for the local police department and government departments no matter what city she worked in. Give her the materials of such a major serial case, in case she turns around and posts it on the Internet and makes a big incident, the most unlucky person must be Fu Yuxin and them.

So the confrontation lasted for a few more hours.

In the end, Liu Yimin endured his temper and put forward a plan to solve the problem, he said that when the murderer was caught and the case was completely closed, before the bureau held a press conference, he would give her all the press releases, photos and details to ensure her exclusive headlines.

Dai Furong finally relented and took out all she knew: four years ago, in Liangbao City, a 36-year-old female teacher was found dead in an abandoned paint factory warehouse in the suburbs, the scene was eighty percent similar to today, the deceased's ten-year-old daughter witnessed her mother's abduction, saw the murderer's face, and a few days later inadvertently saw the murderer on the street and identified it on the spot, but because the evidence was insufficient, and there was no motive for murder, the crime was not established, and the case has not been solved until now.

I asked Liu Yimin if Dai Furong said that today's scene is different from the scene four years ago.

He nodded.
