Chapter 680: Blood Flower on Chinese New Year's Eve
On the same day of the "1.27 Bridge Suicide Case", a special task force was set up, with the Wan detachment personally serving as the team leader, and Yan Zizhong and Zhang Yuqi as the deputy team leaders.
Xu Zheng was arranged by the leadership as a special adviser to this case, and if the case did not have eyebrows, his Spring Festival holiday would not be over.
On the evening of the 27th, the task force held a meeting all night, because the suicide case of jumping off the bridge was finally transmitted to the external network, and then the domestic network successfully appeared on the hot search in less than an hour.
Another name for the Changming Yangtze River Bridge, "Nai He Bridge" has been frantically swiped by netizens.
If it was just public opinion on the Internet, the police would still be able to respond to all changes with the same, but the higher-ups asked Liao Hai to bring people over with the file through the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Provincial Department, which brought bad news.
It turned out that before this case, there were also some scenic spots that had this situation.
But they belong to the kind of suicide that they meet, there is a chat group, and even the suicide person will leave a bereaved family and a suicide letter.
However, the ministry has made relevant statistics, and the major scenic spots in the country, especially the Emei Jinding Cliff, as well as the cliffs such as Tianmen Mountain and Zhangjiajie, which have towering into the clouds, are places where there are more suicides.
Among the many suicide cases, there are still two cases, which are similar to the Changming Bridge this time.
Ten years ago, on Chinese New Year's Eve in 2026, three young people jumped into the tumbling Yellow River when the bell rang on Chinese New Year's Eve.
The other was five years ago, on Chinese New Year's Eve in 2031, four young men and women committed suicide by jumping off a cliff in Fei'e Mountain, Xiangdao.
After the mainland police took over the investigation, they found that these people had no contact before.
It is still debatable whether these three cases were done by the same person behind the scenes, and after everyone discussed them, they did not join the cases, the main reason is that the three cases span too long.
Even if there are some similarities, there are no clues, and even if the cases are combined, no useful clues can be found.
Before I knew it, the conference room was still brightly lit, and all the investigators involved in the case were repeatedly checking the relevant materials of the three cases.
But no one found a clue.
The only one is the sentence left by the online writer, he said that he came to Changming to meet netizens, it can be seen that these suicides and the people behind them are still in contact through the Internet.
It's just that the investigators who were present at the scene even found out how many times these suicides had logged on to the colored website, but they still couldn't find out how they contacted the people behind the scenes on the Internet.
The task force contacted the local police stations of the four deceased, and asked them to notify the parents of the deceased to come to Changming as soon as possible, cooperate with the police to find out the cause of the deceased's death, and also let the local police take away the deceased's computer and spare mobile phone.
Now the task force has remotely connected to the computers of the four deceased, and there is no suspicious sign except for some colored videos and photos found inside.
There was no trace of how they contacted the people behind the scenes.
After twelve o'clock in the morning, several leaders left the conference room one after another, only the 10,000 detachment remained here, and Yan Zizhong's serious case team still had an emergency case to deal with, and he took a few more people away.
The case file is complicated, and a case is full of hundreds of M word processing and hundreds of gigabytes of related videos, and if a person reads them all, he can't finish them in three days.
Xu Zheng couldn't stop yawning over and over, to be honest, he slept on the plane for five hours, and basically didn't sleep the night before.
If Wan Haihong hadn't been sitting at the front of the conference room drinking tea, he would have fallen asleep on the table.
Wan Haihong naturally noticed Xu Zheng a long time ago, although he didn't know where he was on a mission during this time, but he also knew that he was tired for a reason, but he still didn't let him go home.
Because if these three cases are the same person, why is the time of Changming's suicide not on Chinese New Year's Eve but on the 25th of the lunar month?
There is no answer to this question.
But with only five days to go until Chinese New Year's Eve, will this kind of thing happen again in Changming?
There is no answer to this question either.
But if there is really a second wave of suicide cases, then it is the dereliction of duty of these policemen, because netizens and the leaders above don't care that this case is very difficult to solve, they only look at the results.
Besides, it's a pity that all the people who die by suicide are young people.
Wan Haihong hoped that the investigators present could come up with useful clues as soon as possible, but unfortunately, including him, they were at a loss, and they couldn't imagine that anyone could hypnotize an ordinary person through the network cable.
And the lives of these ordinary people are not bad.
Not to mention the previous two cases, let's just talk about the case of Changming, Wan Haihong is also puzzled, this can earn 10,000 or more per month, he lives alone, and he has no girlfriend.
They are all young people who are not married.
In the more fashionable words now, if you don't buy a house, get married, don't have children, and don't support the elderly, is there anything more comfortable in this life than lying flat?
He now thinks about the fact that he had just graduated from college at that time, he didn't talk about his girlfriend, and he was paid a salary, which was the happiest period of his life.
Wan Haihong can't figure it out, and he can't figure it out, who can have such a strong hypnotic ability?
He turned his head and asked Chief Yang, who had just returned from ordering food for his colleagues, "Old Yang, why hasn't this old guy come yet?" ”
Lao Fan, Fan Liangwen is a psychology expert in the Municipal Bureau, mainly researching the psychology of criminal behavior and providing psychological help to investigators.
Yang Zhengchang's face was a little worried, "When Lao Fan fell asleep at seven o'clock in the evening, he drank sleeping pills to sleep, and he can't sleep at all without this thing now."
I have already informed his wife, but his wife said that Lao Fan usually wakes up at three or four o'clock in the morning.
No, it's only two hours, so let's wait. ”
Wan Haihong's face sank, and he lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Can you determine Lao Fan's location at the time of the crime?" ”
"You! Like Xiao Xu, you are worthy of being a master and apprentice, and you are even more suspicious of yourself. Yang Zhengchang shook his head, "Lao Fan still lives in the old family home of Changming University.
According to his wife, he got off work at five o'clock today, went out for a walk after dinner, and went straight to the bedroom to sleep after taking a shower.
By the way, his daughter is at home during winter break.
That's it, I don't think Lao Fan needs to investigate, he has been a colleague for so many years, can you still know him? ”
"At this time, I doubt all the experts in psychology in Changming now, including Xu Zheng." Wan Haihong sighed, "What's wrong with your colleague?"
Have you forgotten that in the cases we handled before, my colleague was a murderer and a suspect, and there were still few? ”
Yang Zhengchang smiled bitterly, "I bought some supper for my colleagues, how can I do it without eating something this big night." ”
He pointed to Xu Zheng, who was about to fall asleep, "Peng Hall called me just now, saying that Xiao Xu had gone to the field on a secret mission in the past two days, and he was watching a movie with his daughter-in-law when the crime occurred."
Can you still doubt him?"
"I'm just that a metaphor, you're still on the line." Wan Haihong glanced at his old partner and thought for a while, "Old Yang, you let Xu Zheng go home first and rest for a while, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers."
Just let him come to the city bureau at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning on time to report. ”
"You, it's long overdue for him to go back to rest." Yang Zhengchang has always been gentle, and he has an old fatherly tolerance for his subordinates, "Although Xiao Xu was brought into the criminal investigation by you, he is not in our department now."
You can't call him like you used to. ”
Wan Haihong doesn't think so, in his heart, the police are a brick, where he needs to move, "Doesn't he have a Spring Festival holiday, come to help us, doesn't this make his Spring Festival more meaningful?" ”
Yang Zhengchang heard the music, waved his hand and didn't want to deal with him, "Xiaorui is about to give birth now, you, no wonder my sister-in-law always says that you are a straight man until you die." ”
At this time, although Xu Zheng was sleepy and tired, he was already accustomed to this kind of life, staring at the electronic file on the computer, checking the information investigated by the criminal police in the local jurisdiction of the deceased overnight.
After watching it for a long time, in addition to having a better understanding of the four deceased, I still didn't find out how they contacted the people behind the scenes.
"Xiao Xu, how is it, are you inspired?"
Xu Zheng saw Yang Zhengchang coming with a hot wonton, he shook his head and took the wonton, "Thank you, Zhengchang, I don't have the inspiration, I just have a doubt, I don't know if those psychology masters can hypnotize ordinary people to commit suicide?"
Yang Zhengchang, you are well-informed, have you ever heard of this kind of person? ”
"It's hard to answer this question!" Yang Zhengchang looked worried, and didn't know how to answer, "Many things have not been seen with my own eyes, or experienced by myself, and what I have heard and heard cannot be taken seriously."
Besides, the psychologists we come into contact with are all positive and positive, and even if some psychologists commit crimes, their criminal behavior is not so terrifying that they can casually hypnotize others to commit suicide.
But there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky.
You weren't a university professor who specialized in crime before, and the accidental deaths he did were actually using psychology. ”
Xu Zheng himself has advanced psychology skills, but he can't hypnotize others to commit suicide, but he has heard that the most powerful psychology can hypnotize others to kill people.
Like the ancient Yellow Turban Army and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they basically belong to the application of master-level psychology.
"Don't think about it, this bowl of wontons is almost cold, eat it while it's hot, and go home and sleep first after eating." Seeing that Xu Zheng fell into deep thought again, Yang Zhengchang pointed to Wan Haihong and said, "Your master said that you should arrive at the detachment on time at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
As soon as Xu Zheng heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately stopped sleepy, and thanked Yang Zhengchang, "It's still Dad Yang's heart, your love is like a fire in winter, a fire."
"Haha, hurry up and eat your meal." Yang Zhengchang laughed, and sure enough, he was still a young man with vitality.
Peng Yue next to him looked envious, "Dad Yang, it's one o'clock in the morning, the lights are blind outside, it's not safe for Xu Zheng to go back alone, why don't I send him back?" ”
"Well, it's true that it's not safe for him to go back alone without company." Yang Zhengchang patted Peng Yue's shoulder, and in his look of anticipation and joy, he said slowly: "Then let Wanwan accompany Xu Zheng back and live directly in his house." ”
"Don't, Dad Yang, I can also live in Xu Zheng's house, he has a lot of rooms, and I can sleep on the sofa." Peng Yue watched Yang Zhengchang leave after speaking, hurriedly stopped, and said with a sleepy face.
But Yang Zhengchang ignored him.
Li Wanwan was happy when she heard that she could go back to rest, but she looked at the case file in the computer and became worried again, because she had been in the detachment for a year, although she said that she was doing internal work.
They may also participate in the discussion and investigation of the merits of the case.
But her business ability is still at the bottom of the detachment, this year, she also worked very hard, but criminal investigation also depends on talent, sometimes she feels that she is not the material in this area.
Ji Meiyue looked at Li Wanwan, who was eating wontons with her head down, happy for a while, happy for a while, happy, "Hurry up and eat, what are you thinking, after eating, follow Xiaozheng back to rest, take care of your spirits, tomorrow's task will be heavier." ”
Li Wanwan smiled reluctantly and complained: "Sister Meiyue, you said that this suspect is true, does he hate us, why does he have to commit an accident during the New Year, can't he change the time?" ”
Xu Zheng heard this next to him, his heart moved, if he was this suspect and chose to commit the crime on Chinese New Year's Eve, first, the number of people in the scenic area has a great impact; Second, there should be a lot of people, and he can hide at the scene.
Third, it is really possible that, as Li Wanwan said, the time chosen by the murderer is to let the police have a bad New Year.
If this case is not solved, who benefits?
The case has not been solved, the first beneficiary is naturally the murderer himself, and the second and third are hard to say, but the competitors of the Wan detachment should also be among the beneficiaries.
Because of this suicide case, if it happens again on Chinese New Year's Eve, then the first responsibility for this case is the Wan Detachment, who is the leader of the special case team and the deputy director of the city bureau in charge of criminal investigation.
The above has to deal with people, either to deal with him or to deal with Yan Zizun or Zhang Yuqi.
If this is really the case, then the 10,000 detachment will definitely come out and take responsibility.
Therefore, the case has not been solved, in addition to the families of the deceased, the case-handling personnel are also victims.
It's just that the competitors of the 10,000 detachment are also the directors of the cities below, and it is impossible to use this kind of trick to seek a higher position, because they are not sure that they will become the next deputy director of criminal investigation and the head of the detachment of the Changming City Bureau.
However, along this line of thought, there are two possibilities for the murderer, one is that he targeted all the police, and the other is that he has a grudge against someone in the police who handled the case or all the police officers of a certain unit.
The former is public and the latter is private.
Xu Zheng analyzed the current clues, and he felt that the murderer, that is, the person behind the scenes, should be hostile to all the police, and deliberately committed the crime on Chinese New Year's Eve, a time when the whole country is celebrating.
Thinking of this, he felt that the murderer's hostility might not only be directed against the police, but also against the whole society.
From a psychological point of view, this person must have an anti-human and anti-social personality, and he has knowledge of psychology, and is even engaged in this work.
However, there are less than 80 registered psychology practitioners in Changming, and there are only a dozen mental health clinics in the huge city.
In addition, teachers and professors of psychology who teach at universities, as well as psychologists from units such as the police, are all suspicious suspects to be investigated in this case.
In addition to these, all the criminal police on the criminal investigation line, and even all the police, are also suspicious, because the criminal police themselves also understand psychology.
"Senior brother, what are you doing, why don't you eat while eating?"
Li Wanwan finally decided to follow Xu Zheng back to sleep, if she stayed in the office, first, she couldn't sleep well, and second, she couldn't sleep.
Xu Zheng patted his forehead and stopped thinking about these messy things, "Let's leave after I'm done, wait a while." ”
Late at night, at half past two in the morning, Xu Zheng took Li Wanwan back to his home, and asked Li Wanwan to go to Ren Mingming's room to sleep before he returned to Han Rui's room.
"I'm back so late, do you want to prepare something to eat for you?" When Han Rui heard the knock on the door, she knew that it was Xu Zheng who came back, opened the door, felt a cold air rushing in, and dragged her body slowly around and got into the bed.
Xu Zheng changed into pajamas and got into the quilt, only to feel warm, his nose was filled with the fragrance of Sister Xiaorui's body, he hugged Han Rui's waist from behind, and put his hand on her stomach, "Don't talk, sleep, it's still comfortable at home."
Before he could finish speaking, the man was already asleep.
Han Rui couldn't cry or laugh, and she was very distressed, she was now in the third trimester of pregnancy, and her sleep itself was not good, and she wanted to talk to Xu Zheng, but she didn't expect that her husband, who often didn't go home, fell asleep before she finished a sentence.
And, miraculously, he didn't snore when he slept this time.
Han Rui touched her husband's hands, feeling much rougher than before, and her heart was even more distressed, "It seems that I can't let my child work as a police officer in the future." ”
