"Someone with a special status."

Who counts as a special person?

There is no standard for this, generally speaking, as long as you are out of ordinary people, you are a little closer to the special.

If it's much better than ordinary people, it's a little special.

If you can have some rights, it will be the special of the special!

Although Bac Giang province looks poor, no matter how poor it is, as long as the place is big enough, there will still be some rich people and people whose relatives are in official positions.

Otherwise, if the former is not one, then Bac Giang Province would have collapsed long ago, and the latter would be even more impossible, and it can't be Zhou Hu's people, dozens of people are all fatherless, motherless, wifeless, and childless.

But as long as there is, then those people can be called special!

"Tsk, first of all, check the police supervisor Zhou Huzhou."

At the same time, in the police station, Xu Hao looked at the information presented on the computer and said with a smacking face.

That's right, on the computer, it is Zhou Hu's family.

A son, a daughter, and a wife, but their parents didn't have them, and they died a long time ago.

"After this investigation, there is no suspicion of Police Supervisor Zhou."

Wang Jin didn't feel that he was polite to others on the surface, and he was the first to check the other party's behavior behind his back.

He stretched out his hand, moved the mouse to fork out Zhou Hu's picture, and crossed out his daughter's photo, leaving only the other party's son.

"On the contrary, it is Zhou Sen, the son of Superintendent Zhou, who is not a small suspect."

"What's the matter with him?" Xu Hao raised his eyebrows, and he looked at this person.

The man is about 20 years old, with a middle-to-upper appearance, long hair, and looks polite.

"It's a returnee."

Wang Jin thought about it and said directly.

Returnees?

Xu Hao raised his eyebrows, and immediately knew why Wang Jin was the first to suspect the other party.

Returnees may gild a person's identity to make their identity better than others, and secondly, look at the thickness of this layer of gold skin depending on the school they attend.

If it's the business world, or the scientific community, that's easy to say.

But if it's the official side

Not to mention anything else, anyway, when you go to the top, the kind of position that holds certain rights, you generally don't look for these people.

The hidden danger is too great!

No one knows what these people heard or who they befriended when they were overseas.

It is estimated that Zhou Sen went to study abroad when Zhou Hu had not grown up.

Otherwise, according to Zhou Hu's character, he would not agree.

Xu Hao looked at the other party's file information.

"Chemistry Student"

Xu Hao muttered, and after a while, he thought slightly.

"It's not him."

"Judging from the scene of the crime, the murderer has at least some ability about psychology."

"I mean ability, not knowledge!"

Anyone who has the ability to use psychology to do something is the one who stands at the top of the psychology community!

Zhou Sen is not.

The other party is concentrating on the study of chemical-related items, not to mention the ability of psychology, that is, some psychological knowledge, and I guess I haven't seen much.

"Okay."

Wang Jin nodded, although Xu Hao said so, he would carry out some level of monitoring of Zhou Sen in the future.

That's his way of doing things!

"Next are these guys."

As he spoke, Wang Jin found a bunch of pictures, and there was their file information on the side of the picture.

Xu Hao glanced at it, and then pointed out a few people above.

"Focus on these few first."

"The other few are not very suspicious."

These people are the family members of some wealthy people, and most of them are of bad character.

Of course, there are also children of people like Zhou Hu, who are also people with bad personalities, and even a few sheepdogs.

But Xu Hao didn't care about these.

"Is there anything else?"

"It's gone for the time being, the boundaries of the four words of special identity are too blurred, even if it's national security, there is nothing useful to find out."

Wang Jin shook his head.

The identity is special, so there are more people to check!

If nothing else, how many people are there in special occupations alone?

After all, special people are not only the rich and powerful, but also the disabled!

Without.

Xu Hao was a little pity, but he didn't say much.

After all, the boundaries given by the system are so blurred, and he can't go into details.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the time.

It's two o'clock in the afternoon.

He and Wang Jin and the others hadn't eaten lunch yet, and Wang Jin hadn't even eaten breakfast.

After thinking about it, he decided to go buy some food first.

Now that the case is deadlocked, instead of being incompetent and furious in the office, it is better to replenish your physical strength first and prepare for the future.

Xu Hao walked out of the police station and bought hundreds of pancakes and fruits on the side of the road.

Someone was then found to distribute it to nearby police officers involved in the mission.

"Ugh, pancake fruit!?"

An exclamation sounded, and even though the other party didn't come to him, he knew the identity of this person.

"Brother Hao, have you added spicy strips to this?"

As soon as Wang Chao came to the police station, he unceremoniously picked up the three hot pancakes on the table, and then opened his mouth to eat.

Pancake fruit, he prefers to add some chicken tenders and spicy strips.

Xu Hao didn't bother to answer, he looked up while eating.

"Back to the police station so soon? What's this finding? ”

Wang Chao bit violently, then nodded vigorously, and after swallowing, he said:

"According to your instructions, I found someone to check the origin of Sun Miao's dead fortune tree, and then found a flower and herb shop in Jiangcheng."

"After that, I followed this method and searched the second victim's house again, found a few pots of bonsai that were also dead, and followed this clue to a flower and herb shop."

Found a flower shop?

Is it so fast!?

Xu Hao raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked up at Wang Chao.

However, the next moment, he reacted.

Jiangcheng is still in a state of economic downturn, there are few restaurants, I don't know how many playgrounds have closed down, and even the houses in the community can't be sold.

Not to mention, a flower and herb shop for spiritual entertainment.

It is estimated that in those years, those who should have gone out of business went bankrupt, and those that did not go bankrupt were just a few left.

The number is so small, the police will send someone to investigate them one by one, and the matter will be clear and clear.

"Something wrong with the owner?" Wang Jin asked.

"No problem, they are all natives of Jiangcheng, struggling with food and clothing every day, and their cultural level is not high."

Wang Chao said casually.

Struggling to make ends meet, this sentence covers a lot of information.

It is even said that the general national construction can make progress because of this sentence, such as the original 'thirty-three taels of silver'.

If you can't eat enough and are in a state of struggle, you will make people desperate, and you won't have the heart to think about anything else!

"It seems that Sun Miao himself had a relatively good material life at the beginning"

Xu Hao thought inwardly.

The so-called fullness of lust means that when the material life is good, we will pursue the spiritual world.

The other party can live a tight life in that situation, and still have spare money to buy flowers, as well as the mind and listen to the murderer's arrangement to do things

From this point of view, the other party's living situation at that time should be quite good.

Otherwise, if you can't eat enough, then no matter who comes to point fingers at the other party's life, the answer should be the word 'pen'.

And Zhang Zheng!

The other party is divorced, there are no children to raise at home, and the person is middle-aged, and the savings are estimated to be enough for him to survive the economic downturn.

'Only those who meet basic material needs and are somewhat spiritually empty will become the target of murderers!? ’

Suddenly, Xu Hao thought of this sentence in his mind.

However, he was a little unsure.

There were only two incidents so far, a small number, and the thing he summarized may have been accidental, but not enough to be completely certain.

Thinking of this, Xu Hao shook his head, and he looked at Wang Chao again.

"When was the Fortune Tree bought?"

"About half a year ago, the shopkeeper can't remember clearly, but fortunately, he has a receipt for the purchase of fortune trees"

As he spoke, Wang Chao took a bite of the pancake fruit, and then continued vaguely.

"The batch of fortune trees that advanced eight months ago was sold six months ago, that is, in January, and the victim Sun Miao most likely bought it in these two months."

That's seven months for now.

In seven months, a person with a healthy mind and a relatively rich material life was forced to commit suicide by jumping off a building

Even the murderer was not at the scene of the crime, just standing a kilometer away made people jump off the building!

What has happened during this time to make a person's personality change so much?

'Stockholm syndrome'.

domestication

Xu Hao's brows furrowed, and he was wondering if the other party had used these two methods.

Domesticating an animal, there is no doubt that at the beginning, must be to crush the spirit of the other party!

For example, in the so-called strong J case, the strong j at the beginning is a means to break the spirit.

If the victim is domesticated, how is the spirit of the other party broken?

No.

No, the other side is not domesticated.

Thinking of the facial features that were rotten but could still see fear, Xu Hao dispelled his thoughts.

There is still fear on the other party's face, and it has not been completely domesticated!

What is that?

Retain the subjective consciousness of the other party, and also make the other person listen to their own words

Suddenly, a word appeared in Xu Hao's mind.

Slave!

Yes, the victim is like a slave and a slave owner, unwilling in his heart, but still subject to others.

The murderer cultivated servility for the victim!?

Xu Hao frowned, recalling the decorations in the victim's home.

Indeed, if not to educate, but to cultivate servility .

You really don't need to break the spirit, you just need to go a step lower, for example, use the atmosphere created by the decoration to oppress the other person's psychology, and then you can take advantage of it!

Here's an example.

If you chase a certain girl first and confess after chasing for a few months, then there is no so-called romance under the bombardment of luxury cars and money, and it is basically to be rejected.

But if you act as her boyfriend first, and then take advantage of the other party's bad mood to confide in your thoughts, then take advantage of the void

Then the probability is not ordinarily large.

And the results are all about the same!

"What about Zhang Zheng?"

Xu Hao raised his head and asked, Sun Miao, from contact with the murderer to death, a total of six months, in other words, the murderer killed a person within six months!

He was more curious about the time it would take for an adult man in his thirties.

"It's about the same here, it's about six months, but the flower shop where you buy potted plants is different."

Also six months?

Xu Hao raised his eyebrows, "Have you checked?" ”

"What are you looking for?" Wang Chao was stunned, and forgot to take a bite of the pancake fruit that was stuffed into his mouth.

"It's hard for a person to experience a certain period of time, but if it's two people, it's going to be experienced at the same time."

"It's easy to look up!"

Saying that, Xu Hao added: "Find the personnel of the national security and check what things the two of them did six months ago." ”

Six months ago, Sun Miao did countless things!

If the police come to investigate in turn, the workload is not something that the ordinary city bureau can support.

Especially here, there is still a shortage of people, money, and equipment!

Even if Xu Hao is asked to personally take someone to investigate, it is estimated that he will not be able to solve it in a month.

But the good news is that Zhang Zheng was also in that time period!

In this way, they only need to look at the common events that the two have done.

This incident may be the murderer's action of touching the victim!

"Okay, I'll arrange it now."

Wang Chao heard this, and now he came back to his senses.

So saying, he prepared to put down the remaining pancake fruit and go to someone to find it.

However, before he could get up, Xu Hao stopped him again.

"Forget it, let Lao Wang go."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Hao looked at Wang Jin, "Chaozi is not very familiar with Guoan, and it may not be effective to command." ”

"Lao Wang will command, and Chaozi will work with me to investigate the rest of the victims of the case!"

The rest of the cases victims?

Wang Chao blinked.

"There are too many suicides in Jiangcheng, and many of them are related to this case, but because of the times, they were ignored and stored in the archives as ordinary suicide cases."

Xu Hao said lightly.

The criminal police have two main tasks.

One is to save people, and the other is to arrest people!

Victims can start contacting the killer as early as seven months ago, that doesn't mean that all victims have contact seven months ago!

In the months of oppression, Xu Hao didn't believe it, and the other party was preoccupied with dealing with the victim.

You can take advantage of this time to find new prey!

How many people can I find in seven months?

Xu Hao didn't know, but there were more than 200,000 people in Lingxia District alone!

The entire Jiangcheng has a population of more than one million, and if the other party finds dozens of people, they can't find it at all, let alone have normal suicides to cover up.

"Deputy Director Li's efficiency was found out so quickly?"

Wang Chao was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.

Li Dapeng is responsible for checking whether there is a problem in the suicide case.

Many of these cases are related to his negligence, and it is natural for him to re-examine them.

However, at the moment, it has not even taken ten hours since the case was filed.

Found it so quickly!?

"No, Deputy Li is still collecting clues at the scene of the crime, and the archives room is temporarily searched by the rest of the comrades, and there are not many police forces, so nothing related to it has been found for the time being."

The computer is very backward, the system is also backward, the police station is much behind the rest of the provinces, and they have not yet begun to use computers to store all the file information, so if they want to investigate the suicide case, they can only turn over paper documents in the archives.

Or go to the city bureau to look through the files.

It's so slow that it's not like it's true!

"However, you can start with the herb shop."

Xu Hao said lightly.

"A potted plant that can affect emotions is basically not a small object like a flower, at least it is a tree."

"This thing is not expensive, but it can be purchased during this time period, and the family economy is probably not very tight, but the family conditions are not tight, and there are not many people who will buy these things."

"Find the flower and herb shop in Lingxia District, let them sort out the documents and files, and then check them one by one."

Those who died in the archives lacked a lot of documents that needed to be verified, and it took brains to check them, which was time-consuming and laborious.

But check the herb shop directly.

Check with all the customers who have bought flowers and plants, doesn't it sound complicated?

However, only pay attention to whether the flowers and plants bought, whether they wither, and whether the decoration of these people's homes is weird enough

This kind of thing that doesn't even need to be cross-examined, just walks home with one foot on the accelerator, and then takes a look, is it still troublesome!?

A suicide in the archives has not yet been verified, and it is estimated that the list of flower shops can be checked more than ten.

"Seconds!"

Wang Chao's eyes lit up, he looked at Xu Hao in front of him, and took a bite of the pancake fruit.

"When are you leaving!?"

"Leave after eating!"

Seven months ago, Sun Miao and Zhang Zheng had contact with the victims, but three or four people.

If these people exist, there is a high probability that they will die in these few days!

Hurry up, you can save one is one!

While the two were eating, Xu Hao also used his mobile phone to dial Li Xiang's phone.

He asked the other party to first count the list of potted trees and plants that had been bought in the flower shop from seven months ago to three months ago.

Of course, most stores don't have surveillance cameras, which is more difficult to do, and you don't know who bought it.

It's not a big problem, though.

If there is no monitoring, you can't find it, only if you have monitoring!

Not long after, the two of them had dinner, got into the still new police car, and began to wander outside.

He didn't go to Li Xiang and went directly to get the documents.

The time is too short, and it is estimated that the other party's people have not yet arrived at the flower shop.

Directly find a nearby flower shop with surveillance, obtain facial information from the surveillance, and then retrieve the identity information of the other party in the archive.

After a while, the two stopped in front of a somewhat lukewarm shop.

"There are guests. Uh, two officers, what's the matter with you here? ”

The drowsy shopkeeper was originally a little excited when he heard the sound of the car stopping, but when he saw the police uniforms on the two of them, the smiles on his faces suddenly froze, and he asked in a curt.

"Nothing, call up some surveillance."

As he spoke, Xu Hao turned his head and looked at the potted plants around him, and then frowned.

Potted plants are a bit much.

In the store alone, there are no less than dozens of bonsai that meet the psychological conditions that can affect people's psychological conditions, not to mention the ones that are sold.

"Surveillance?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly took the two of them to turn around and leave, "Fortunately, I don't have the habit of deleting surveillance videos." ”

Xu Hao glanced at him.

It seems that this is a chatterbox, the kind of chatter that even has to say what is in his heart

But it's not bad to talk, at least to give them more information.

"How many pots of this stuff can you sell in a month?"

As he spoke, Xu Hao pointed to the potted plant on the side.

Wang Chao squatted next to the computer, taking pictures of the computer screen with his mobile phone and sending them to the people at the police station, while carefully observing the surveillance.

"Bad, don't mention it, officer"

The shopkeeper sighed, "I have enough food and clothing for a month, after eating, paying the rent, plus a bunch of miscellaneous things, there is basically not a penny left." ”

"Pure profit, only one or two thousand a month, this thing you said, if you are lucky, you can sell twenty pots a month, and if you are unlucky, it will only be a few pots a month."

The shopkeeper said with a sigh.

"My shop, now I live by selling some flowers, fortunately, there are a lot of women who like flowers nearby, otherwise, just rely on this thing you said, I would have starved to death."

"You see, this pot of fortune tree is still my goods from three months ago, and it is still with me."

The shopkeeper said with a painful face.

It's hard for him to have a shop like this, and he has to take care of these things all the time, and he has to take good care of them.

Otherwise, if there is a little inadvertent action, these flowers and trees will die willfully

That's a loss!

Of course, if you don't die, you can't sell it, and it's a loss of money!

After all, if you can't die, you have to carefully breed, and the consumption of various nutrient solutions and various artificial and material resources will be added up

Just like the three-month-old fortune tree, the shopkeeper has kept it for three months, and it is estimated that the money spent is worth more than the fortune tree itself.

Double the loss!

Hearing this, Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

The most sold thing is that flowers are not tree plants.

Even if this thing withers, it occupies a small space and is far away, plus a little myopia, it is possible to ignore it directly.

Therefore, this thing probably will not be used by the murderer as something to oppress the spirit of others.

Only a slightly larger fortune tree will do!

After all, if the flower withers, the whole thing will rot, and the visual effect of the tree after withering is just the same as that of the tree in winter, only the leaves are withered, and only after decay will the appearance change slightly.

A few hours later.

"Brother Hao, three months ago, between six months ago, people who bought tree plants and potted plants found some!"

Wang Chao suddenly raised his head, and he raised his mobile phone.

This is a message sent by the internal staff of the police station and the city bureau.

The Lingxia District Police Station has no conditions, but it doesn't mean that the city bureau doesn't have it!

Ordinary face recognition is still available.

Of course, if you want to recognize the face of ten years ago, there is a high probability that there is no way to recognize the present ten years later.

However, the recognition is in recent months.

That's basically a check!

"How many?"

"Originally, it was one hundred and thirty."

Wang Chao said, "According to what you said, the victim will not buy green plants twice to destroy the artistic conception of decoration, I will be a person who has bought green plants twice in time." As well as the age and family constraints of all of them, I did a little screening. ”

"After screening, there are still forty people left."

The business of this shop is average.

There are about 50 of these shops in Lingxia District, and if all of them have 40 people, that's 2,000.

It sounds like a lot, but it's not, this thing is about the same speed as takeout, you can just take a look at the location when you get there, and you don't even need to go back to the store to pick up the food!

Moreover, there are quite a few of them who do not buy at the same store.

"Not bad."

Xu Hao nodded, and he glanced at the information on the other party's phone.

"Li Li, Brother Hao, do you want to check her first?"

Wang Chao asked.

It's 5 p.m., and normal people are all at home, or it's time to rush home to get ready for dinner.

Xu Hao pondered for a long time, and then said:

"Check!"

The time of this person's purchase is closer to the time when Sun Miao bought the green plants.

It must be right to check her first, after all, even if the other party is not a potential victim, it can eliminate a hidden danger.

Moreover, the other party's home is not far from the green plant store, and it is still on the way back to the police station, so you can stop by the way.

The two got into the car and kicked the accelerator out.

Then he ran straight to Li Li's house!

Half an hour later, when the car stopped downstairs in the community.

Two voices rang out one after the other.

"Hum~"

This is the sound of a police car stalling.

After turning off the engine, the two people subconsciously unbuckled their seat belts and wanted to get out of the car door.

But then

"Bang!"

A muffled sound sounded!

High in the air, a dark night suddenly fell and smashed on the windshield in front of the police car, that is, the two of them!

Cracks like spider lines appeared on the glass, and blood flowed down the cracks into the police car, ticking on the steering wheel.

A face that was still showing horror was clinging to the windshield, and the bulging eyes were staring straight at Xu Hao.

It's personal.

This is

Lily!!!

Xu Hao: ?

Wang Chao: ?

No way. Again!?

Today is another day to win! awa
