Chapter 8 Randomness
After doing some preliminary preparations, the three of them took a plane to the Blue Lagoon Airport.
At the exit of the airport, Feng Guozhu leaned on the car, and the cigarette butt in his hand was bright and dark. In front, three young people, two men and one woman, came behind their subordinates.
All three of them seemed to be quite young.
Are these three people sent by their superiors to investigate this?
At the beginning, when Feng Guozhu heard that his superiors would restart the investigation and send elite forces to undertake the investigation task, he was still very excited. But now there is a little hesitation.
These three people don't look like old criminal investigators......
Flicked off the cigarette butt, Feng Guozhu greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Welcome, welcome ......"
After greeting for a while, several people took a car to the Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau.
Along the way, looking at the scenery of Blue Lake City through the window, Lu Ming faintly sighed in his heart.
I don't know what kind of story and what kind of test I will usher in this time. This time, I don't know what it will develop into in the end.
One of the characteristics of paranormal events is that no one can predict what kind of eucalyptus it is and what is involved until it is really investigated and settled.
Maybe what seems to be an ordinary beginning will end up being earth-shattering, and even involve the life and death of an entire civilization. Maybe the beginning is extremely huge, like some great eucalyptus, but in the end, it is found that it only involves a small aspect.
It is for this reason that the people in the laboratory are unable to sort it at the beginning of eucalyptus and put it in the hands of people who are really good at this type of eucalyptus.
But then again, there are so many action teams in the Operations Division, and there doesn't seem to be a clear classification, such as which type this squad is good at, which type that squad is good at, and so on. They all do what eucalyptus they encounter, and there is no room for picking.
This time is no different.
"I hope that this time the involvement can be smaller, and don't make such a big scene at every turn. It's always like this, and my heart can't stand it......"
Lu Ming muttered silently in his heart.
After a while, I arrived at the Public Security Bureau, and the welcome party and the like were all waived at Zhang Dingshan's request. Fung Kwok-chu, who is in his fifties, took on the responsibility of liaising between the 2nd Action Team and the local government agencies, and specially dispatched a team to directly follow the orders of the 2nd Action Team.
Feng Guozhu was quietly observing the three young people. He sensed that the young man who was called the captain of the three seemed to have discovered his observation. But he didn't seem to care.
Do you get used to this situation so you get used to it? These three people, they seem to be very experienced? Strange eucalyptus similar to this happening elsewhere?
Secretly observing, Feng Guozhu did not slack off in the slightest, and went all out to meet and cooperate with any requests of the three of them.
After settling in, the first eucalyptus analysis meeting was held. Zhang Dingshan also released several directions from the previous internal discussions, and arranged for people to do it.
At this moment, two months have passed since Zeng Jian committed suicide. During this period, the special team came and went, and now the second team of the operation has taken over and come here.
Beginning with Zeng Jian's suicide, after that, the security officers increased their attention to and investigation of suicide. In this way, 17 unreasonable suicides were screened out during this time. The deceased of these 17 suicides, together with Zeng Jian, were not cremated.
In this way, the genetic testing decided by the Action Team 2 was facilitated.
A total of eighteen biological samples were quickly collected and sent to the laboratory for genetic analysis as quickly as possible.
】
The results will take about two days to come out. During these two days, the vigilantes followed the orders of the second team and began to investigate the occupations and skills of the deceased.
Profession and skill are two different concepts. What you are good at, you don't necessarily have to work in what direction. Just like some programmers are good at fishing, and some cooks are good at carpentry.
The statistics are much more extensive, involving a total of about 500 people who have died by abnormal suicide in the past decade.
Thanks to the hard work of the security officers, the statistics in this area quickly came to fruition.
In the internal conference room, only Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Ming were present. Looking at these results, Lu Ming muttered: "I'm afraid I can't piece together any needs for these professions and good skills." ”
Because these people's professions and skills do not have some special orientation.
If these people are experts in a certain field, such as doctors, chemists, mathematicians, construction workers, etc., or a combination of these different professions, it is easy to make certain judgments from this.
But it is clear that these victims are ordinary. Their professions and skills are also popular. For example, food delivery workers, company employees, restaurant owners, teachers, etc. Good skills are nothing more than basketball, football, heavy drinking, good cooking, high brand skills, stable driving, etc., which are also very popular.
If these people are all "fake deaths and get out", then at most, these people can only form a group of ordinary people. It doesn't make sense at all.
Zhang Dingshan said: "I noticed that among the deceased of these abnormal suicides, the proportion of 'high-end people' is very small. ”
The high-end group refers to those who have a higher social status. A certain level of officials, celebrities, rich people, artists, etc. Of the 500 or so deceased, there are less than 20 such people.
He Wei was puzzled: "What?" The force hidden behind the scenes, is it still picking people? Pick ordinary people? ”
This doesn't seem reasonable.
If these are ordinary suicide cases that do not involve supernatural powers, and those people commit suicide because of brain pumping, then there is no evidence that the probability of brain pumping in high-end people is lower than that of ordinary people. In other words, the number of the two groups of people should be roughly equal.
In fact, Lu Ming believes that it is possible that the probability of brain pumping in high-end people is higher. Because generally speaking, high-end people are more stressed and think more. On the contrary, ordinary people, limited by the pressure of life, do not have so much time to think about those who have and don't.
If supernatural forces are involved, and it is a force hidden behind the scenes that orchestrates these abnormal suicides, then they have already mastered this power, and they are still staring at ordinary people, and their style seems to be a little low.
Unless there is some special purpose.
There is currently insufficient data to allow for further analysis. Lu Ming can only write down this suspicion and relevant data first, and leave it for later analysis.
"There is currently no evidence of the possibility of 'suspended animation'. This direction can be put down temporarily. If new evidence or events emerge in the future that suggest such a possibility, pick it up again. ”
"I agree."
After some discussion, several people agreed on this.
The next day, the results of the genetic analysis of the eighteen people came back.
Lu Ming glanced at it and saw that there were dense lists of the same genes, and there were extremely large numbers.
But there is a problem that none of these same genes are scarce, and all of them are more popular genes.
One of the most scarce genes, the average human possession rate is also about one percent. In other words, there are about 100 million people in the world who have this gene.
This is too much to be used as a basis for determining that "genes have similarities".
Although the probability of randomly selecting 18 people and each of them having a gene with a rate of only 1 percent seems very low, it cannot be calculated here. Because there are a lot of genes like this 1 percent ownership rate.
Eighteen people have it together, there is no A gene and B gene, and there is no B gene and C gene. As long as the number of genes is large enough, a gene with a 1% ownership rate happens to be shared by 18 people, which is not a small probability event and is not worth paying attention to.
This direction can also be temporarily excluded.
Although he had long been mentally prepared that it would be impossible for the eucalyptus to find out the results easily this time, at this moment, when these two possibilities were temporarily ruled out, Lu Ming still had a feeling of no idea where to start.
I don't know where the breakthrough is, I don't know where the entry point is.
"Is it really random? That's going to be hard......"
Randomly selecting targets for use means great difficulty, both for routine surveys and for unconventional surveys at the moment.
Since joining the second action team and being exposed to many things that he didn't know when he was an ordinary person in the past, many of Lu Ming's previous cognitions have been overturned.
In the past, influenced by film and television works or the like, Lu Ming always thought that the kind of high-IQ crimes that could make vigilantes and sheriffs and detectives rack their brains until they lost their hair was very powerful. Although he himself did not have the urge to do so, he also tried to conceive the so-called "perfect murder", trying to find a way to kill a person without leaving a trace.
But now, Lu Ming knows very clearly that the so-called high-IQ murder, the so-called perfect murder, such as deliberately leaving some misleading clues, are all nonsense. In reality, it doesn't exist.
Ever-changing criminal investigation methods have turned all so-called perfect murders into jokes. On the contrary, it is the simplest and most unpretentious way to kill, killing people randomly, and it is the most difficult to detect. At least it's much harder to detect than the so-called perfect murder.
A person without a eucalyptus drifts to a foreign place, selects a random person, stabs him to death without monitoring the rest of the people, and then escapes, this eucalyptus is very difficult for the security officers to detect.
Now, the eucalyptus in front of me is showing some signs of random eucalyptus.
Random acts, coupled with the interference of supernatural forces, make it even more difficult.
In the office, the three of them fell into a long silence.
After a long time, Lu Mingcai said: "Even if it is a contactless murder that is done randomly and through the medium of some supernatural force, the murderer or the forces behind the scenes must at least have been in contact with the victim, right?" Otherwise, how would he know about the existence of the victim? ”
If you want to kill someone, whether it is through ordinary contact or non-contact by supernatural forces, the murderer must first know that there is such a person.
Exists thousands of kilometers away in a certain city, a certain security guard in a certain community, no matter how strong the murderer's ability is, it is impossible to kill him.
You don't even know that there is this person, how can you kill it?
"So, how did the forces behind the scenes know about these victims?"
As soon as the idea was opened, the follow-up combing was much smoother.
"There are only two ways to know about the victims. One, reality, two, network. There are only two ways to do this, one, to be directly contacted and known. Second, indirect contact and knowledge. The combination of two pairs is a total of four ways.
We don't know exactly how the behind-the-scenes forces selected the victims, but whether in reality or online, we can think that there is a certain overlap between the behind-the-scenes forces and the deceased.
It is more likely that the deceased entered a certain area and were discovered by the forces behind the scenes, and finally became targets. ”
He Wei objected: "Why can't it be the forces behind the scenes or the murderer who wandered around and took the initiative to enter the area of the deceased's activities to find the deceased and set it as a target?" ”
Lu Ming shook his head: "I don't have strong evidence." However, this kind of unreasonable suicide only exists on a large scale in Blue Lake City, and does not exist in other cities, which seems to indicate that the forces behind the scenes are not actively exploring the target. ”
In other words, the forces behind the scenes or the murderer are "lazy". He or they don't even bother to Blue Lagoon.
He Wei continued to question: "Maybe it's just because of some restrictions, they can only work in one city?" But it's entirely possible that the city is not fixed. ”
"It's a possibility." Lu Ming approved He Wei's objection. He continued: "However, judging only by tendencies, the murderer or the forces behind the scenes have a fixed area of activity, and it is more likely that the victims will come to this area and have direct or indirect contact with him. ”
He Wei was thoughtful.
"If this is the case, then it is manifested in the trajectory of the victim's activity, and there will inevitably be an overlap in some area. This overlapping area is most likely the area where the forces behind the scenes are active. ”
Zhang Dingshan knocked lightly on the table: "Check it out according to this idea first." If it doesn't work, let's talk about something else. ”
At this stage, it is a process of trial and error. Regardless of whether the inference is correct or not, check it first.
What is the best thing to find. It doesn't matter if you can't find it.
"That's fine. Then check it out. I'm going to check the scope of the real activity. ”
Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Ming: "You go and check the scope of network activities." ”
"Yes."
Lu Ming found some network experts, retrieved the traces of the deceased's online activities before their deaths, and directly began to investigate the overlapping areas in their online activities.
A forum, a website, a group, or a chat room are all within the scope of the investigation.
Previously, members of the task force had also checked the online activities of the deceased, and retrieved call records, communication records, chat records, etc. But none of those things showed value, and the line was abandoned.
