Hearing the words Five Elements Killing, Huang Qiqi and Ma Jun were stunned at the same time.

"What about the five elements of murder? What Five Elements Kill? You've seen too much fantasy, right? Why don't you say it's a ghost killing! Huang Qiqi snorted coldly.

He Jiahui walked to the whiteboard, took out a pen, wrote down Chen Zishuo's name, and said at the same time: "The first deceased Chen Zishuo, he was burned to death by fire, I don't know if you have noticed, his name happens to have a fire character." ”

He Jiahui wrote down Fang Moxuan's name again: "The second deceased, Fang Moxuan, he was buried alive, and his name also has a soil character in it!"

He Jiahui continued to write Liu Baorui's name: "And the third deceased, Liu Baorui, was wrapped in wire when he died, and his name also had a golden character in it.

Fire, earth, metal, what do you think of? Is it the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in Taoist culture? That's why I said that this is a five-element homicide case. ”

Huang Qiqi did not accept this statement, he opened his mouth and said: "Just based on the name and death method of the deceased, it is too far-fetched to say what the five elements kill!" ”

"One can be said to be a coincidence, two can be said to be far-fetched, and now it is the third, which can no longer be explained by coincidence." He Jiahui paused, and then said:

"I don't know how much you know about the five elements, but I've always heard of the phrase that the five elements are born together. The five elements are said to be that fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, and water gives birth to wood......"

"Let you solve the case, what are you telling me about the Five Elements Feng Shui!" Huang Qiqi interrupted him.

He Jiahui opened his mouth and replied: "Huang Sir, according to the order of the five elements I just said, fire, earth, and metal, are they the same as the order of killing?" ”

"Chen Zishuo is fire, Fang Moxuan is earth, and Liu Baorui is gold, it seems that this is really the case!" Ma Jun nodded suddenly.

Ho continued; "Sir Huang, when you told me the way of death of the second deceased Fang Moxuan, I thought it was a little strange, just bury it alive, why do you have to expose your feet outside.

Later, when I went to the scene of Liu Baorui's death, his way of death was even more strange, tying people up with wires, inserting a lightning rod, waiting for the lightning to slash down, and electrocuting people alive, which is a normal means of killing?

Killing people in such a complicated way is obviously not killing for the sake of killing, but more like performing some kind of ritual, so I thought of the Taoist doctrine of the five elements. ”

"Even if the murderer is the same as you say, he kills people according to the five elements, but what is the purpose of his doing this?" Huang Qiqi asked.

"Didn't I just say that this is probably some kind of ritual. It may be praying for a good feng shui, or it may be praying for immortality, but if you are specific, you have to consult with an expert who understands the five elements of Taoism. He Jiahui said.

Huang Qiqi snorted coldly: "What do you mean, we are police, do we have to find Mr. Feng Shui to settle a hexagram when we police handle the case!" If this is spread and it is said that our regional serious crime team relies on fortune telling to solve cases, it will really become a laughing stock in the police circles! ”

"Huang Sir, we just asked a professional for consultation, and we didn't really go to the hexagram."

He Jiahui paused, and then said: "If you think it's embarrassing to find a fortune teller, we can also go to the university to consult the professor, the police ask the professor questions, it's not a shame, right?" ”

"What are you kidding! You tell me, which university professor will teach people to read fortune telling! He is a professor, not a Taoist priest who does things in Taoist temples, not a mother-in-law who beats villains on the roadside, and not a god stick who asks rice to invite ghosts! Huang Qiqi asked rhetorically.

Before He Jiahui could answer, Ma Jun reminded from the side: "Sir Huang, we have several universities in Xiangjiang, all of which have seminaries!" The Chinese University and Theological School where the case occurred this time are very famous. ”

"The seminary is run by the church, people worship God, shout hallelujah, read the Bible, and foreign monks don't know what gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are!" Huang Qiqi said.

He Jiahui replied: "Huang sir, the seminary does not understand the five elements of Taoism, but those who understand Taoism should always know this!" But I remember that in Chinese University, there was also a course in religious studies, and the professor of this course must have some knowledge of Taoism.

What's more, the deceased are all students of Chinese University, so nine times out of ten the murderer is related to Chinese University, maybe he is a person from Chinese University, we go to Chinese University, find professors to consult, may find new clues. ”

Asking the university professor for consultation, Huang Qiqi was not so repulsed in his heart, he nodded, and said: "You can go, but you can't rely on all the Taoist Five Elements, this sounds too mysterious, it feels like a blind guess, you should use a normal investigation, and you have to continue." ”

"Of course!" He Jiahui nodded, and then said: "The third deceased, all the surveillance video of the building where the crime occurred has been brought back, and we are working overtime to watch the video, there will definitely be clues in it."

This time the place where the deceased was found was different from the previous two times, this time it was not outdoors, but on the roof of a building, which is a relatively closed space, and the scope of the murderer can be narrowed down through surveillance video. ”

Ma Jun suddenly remembered something, he opened his mouth and said: "The five elements are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, there are five in total, and the murderer has killed three people now, and there are still two left, which means that he will continue to commit crimes." What is the origin of the five elements you just said? ”

"Fire begets earth, earth begets gold, gold begets water, water begets wood, and wood begets fire." He Jiahui continued: "Now that fire, earth, and gold have been victimized, according to the order of the five elements, it should be the turn of water!" ”

"In other words, the murderer's next target is the person with the water in his name, and the means of committing the murder is to drown the other party!" Thinking of this, Ma Jun immediately said; "Bring me the list of members of the student council!"

The list of members of the student union was handed over to Ma Jun, and he quickly read it, but his brows furrowed slightly.

"There are a lot of people with water in this name, just take the surname Jiang, the surname Pan, the surname Hong, and the surname Shen. There are even more of them in the name with the word water.

For example, this river and sea tide, all three words have water, and this Liang Bing, two points of water are also considered water! This is called Zhu Chenyu, and the word 'rain' must be regarded as water, right? ”

Ma Jun said, handing the list of student unions to He Jiahui.

He Jiahui also quickly read it, but judging from the name, there are really a lot of people with water.

Human life is inseparable from water, and the development of civilization cannot be separated from the vast source of water, which is one of the most important elements in nature.

Therefore, in the ideogram of Chinese characters, it is naturally full of things closely related to human beings, such as water, so Chinese characters with water account for a considerable proportion. The higher the proportion, the greater the probability of entering the person's name.

"Ma sir, so many people have water in their names, and we don't know who the murderer's next target is, even if the police want to protect them, they don't have so much police force!" He Jiahui said.

"That can only catch the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise there will really be a fourth victim." Ma Jun said helplessly.

……

Huang Qi was angry, and then left angrily.

Yang Zai came over and said, "Ma sir, check the surveillance video and find it!" We've found Liu Baorui! ”

He Jiahui and Ma Jun immediately came up, and the figure of the deceased Liu Baorui did appear in the surveillance screen.

First of all, the surveillance video in the foyer, I saw Liu Baorui walk into the door, and then go straight to the elevator.

"It was 2:50 p.m. last Saturday." He Jiahui glanced at the time displayed on the surveillance, and continued; "Bring up the monitoring of the elevator at the same time period."

The elevator monitoring was called out, Liu Baorui walked into the elevator, then pressed a floor, and went upstairs directly, the elevator finally stayed on the eighth floor, and Liu Baorui also walked out of the elevator.

"Liu Baorui went to the eighth floor, and the surveillance video on the eighth floor was immediately called up!" He Jiahui commanded.

Yang Tsai shook his head: "In this building, except for the foyer and elevator, only a few places have installed surveillance, and the entire eighth floor has not been monitored." ”

He Jiahui began to analyze: "Now it can be determined that the deceased Liu Baorui came to this building by himself, not was brought over. So the question is, why did he go to the eighth floor of this building? ”

"There is no class on Saturday, he should have an appointment with someone else, let's meet here!" Ma Jun replied.

He Jiahui nodded: "That's right, someone made an appointment with Liu Baorui to meet on Saturday afternoon, and the eighth floor of this building was their meeting place, and then Liu Baorui was killed, that is to say, the person who asked him to meet is likely to be the murderer!"

I speculate that the murderer should have known that there was no surveillance on the eighth floor, so he asked Liu Baorui to meet on the eighth floor. After Liu Baorui saw the murderer, he was stunned by the other party with sevoflurane, and then the murderer imprisoned him in a room in the building where the crime occurred.

When it rained on Monday night, the killer took him to the rooftop, tied him to wire and lightning rods, and electrocuted him with lightning.

From the eighth floor to the rooftop, there are only three flights of stairs, and it is not difficult to move one person up, and taking the stairs can also avoid the monitoring of the elevator.

Or on the day the murderer stunned Liu Baorui, he directly moved him to the rooftop to imprison, and then waited until Monday night to set up the scene and electrocuted him with lightning. ”

Ma Jun nodded: "I agree with your inference, according to your inference, the person who went to the eighth floor of this building last Saturday may be the murderer!" Yang Zai, check the video immediately, and see who has been to the eighth floor on Saturday. ”

"Wait a minute." He Jiahui continued: "What if the murderer went to the other floors first, and then took the stairs to the eighth floor? This makes it possible to circumvent surveillance.

When the murderer was carrying Liu Baorui to the top floor, he knew that he took the stairs to avoid the elevator monitoring, so there was no reason why he didn't take the initiative to avoid the elevator monitoring. So theoretically, the people who appeared in this building on Saturday could be the murderer. ”

"Then check the monitoring all day. Anyway, it was Saturday, and the staff and students were resting, so there shouldn't be many people entering the building. Ma Jun said.

He Jiahui pondered for a moment, and then said, "You can continue to narrow down the range." It is enough to see who enters the building from eleven o'clock in the afternoon to seven o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Why?" Ma Jin asked a little puzzled.

He Jiahui explained: "The deceased Liu Baorui entered the foyer at 2:50 p.m., and I estimate that he made an appointment to meet someone at about 3 o'clock. If I had met you at three o'clock, would you have had lunch and come back, or would you skip lunch and wait until three o'clock? ”

"Three hours before lunch, of course, I'll have lunch before I meet you! You can't go hungry for three hours! ”

Ma Jun said, showing a suddenly realized expression: "I understand! The people who make an appointment to meet Liu Baorui must have had lunch before coming to the building to meet Liu Baorui, so those who go in before lunch time can be excluded! ”

"That's right." He Jiahui showed a teachable expression, and then said: "In the same way, people after dinner time can also be excluded.

If Liu Baorui made an appointment to meet that person after dinner, then Liu Baorui did not need to come over at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he could come back after dinner. Even if the other party is late, it will not be later than the time to finish eating.

A normal lunchtime is certainly not earlier than eleven o'clock in the morning, and when a normal person arrives at seven o'clock in the afternoon, it is time for dinner. So we just have to focus on who has entered the building in the middle of the eight hours! ”

The time is accurate to less than eight hours, and the range is greatly reduced.

Everyone put down their other work and began to review the eight hours of surveillance records of entering and exiting the building, and the results were available in less than an hour.

Ma Jun came to He Jiahui's office and spoke; "He sir, the results are out, between eleven o'clock in the morning and seven o'clock in the afternoon, except for Liu Baorui, a total of seventeen people have entered this building.

Three of them left before 3 p.m. and did not return since. These three people have no time intersection with Liu Baorui, and their suspicion can be ruled out.

Of the remaining fourteen people, five entered and exited the building multiple times, and the other nine entered and exited the building at one time, intersecting with the deceased in time, but four of them entered the building in pairs and left in pairs. ”

"When two people are together, it cannot be ruled out that the crime was committed by a gang, but it can also be a proof of alibi for each other." He Jiahui thought for a moment, and then asked; "Among these fourteen people, are there any women who have entered alone?"

"Four of them were women who went alone." Ma Jun paused, and then asked, "Is the suspicion of these four people temporarily ruled out?" ”

"With the strength of women, it's hard to carry an adult male up three flights of stairs. However, things are not absolute, now people advocate fitness, although many women's strength is not as good as men's, but they are not powerless, it can only be said that they are less likely to commit crimes.

It depends on the actual situation, if it is the kind of woman with a thinner body, then it really can't move an adult man, if it is a woman with a relatively healthy body, it is not necessarily. ”

He Jiahui paused in his voice and continued; "One thing that is certain is that the murderer is among the fourteen people. Let's go to Chinese University in a while, find a professor to consult the five elements, and at the same time, by the way, figure out the identities of these fourteen people! ”
