Chapter 17 third quarter

"You don't need to investigate this, I can tell you the result now." The leader of the task force heard that Tang Hegong was about to investigate the local universities, and smiled and said, "L County is a small county, without a university, and it is also difficult to expand to the whole city. There are only four universities, one agricultural university, one TV university, and two adult self-examination branches established by foreign universities in this city. According to the unified requirements of the central government, the city bureau has police officers in these four universities. We often communicate with each other, and as far as we know, none of these four universities have a philosophy department, nor do they have related majors.”

"Wait a minute." He stopped and answered the phone. After listening to a few words, he frowned, hung up the phone, and turned his attention to Tang Hegong again. There have been reports of missing persons until recently." "No?" Hearing this sentence, Tang Hegong also frowned. "This at least verifies Team Leader Tang's conjecture on the one hand, the incident should have happened on Monday night." "No, that's not what I mean." Tang Hegong shook his head, "This case has attracted so much attention on the Internet, even if the family members of these victims do not have access to the Internet, it is impossible for all the people around them to not access the Internet. Someone noticed, how come there is no feedback at all?"

"Well," the task force leader smiled awkwardly, "After receiving the notice from our superiors, we contacted the relevant media immediately and blocked all information related to this case." "I'm afraid not only the relevant information has been deleted, but even your external network has been blocked." Du Li waved her mobile phone to Tang Hegong, "I want to search for some information, but the speed of the Internet is horribly slow. Can't even scroll through the page." "We can't help it." The leader of the special case team spread his hands, "Although L County is backward, the public security situation has always been very good. There has never been such a major case. If we let the local people know, we are worried that it will cause unnecessary crimes. panic, and I have no experience in dealing with online public opinion before."

"It's not your fault." Tang Hegong smiled wryly, "Even if you change to any place, this kind of thing is very difficult to deal with. The amount of forwarding of rumors is always higher than that of the truth. This is the Internet. But this does not mean that we There is no need to refute the rumors, my opinion is that we must release the truth of the case we have so far, and report the progress of the case in a timely manner.” "This..." The leader of the special case team was a little embarrassed, "The investigation of the case has always been a secret of the police. If the key information is leaked, we may catch the wrong person, or let people with ulterior motives imitate the crime."

"The power of the Internet is terrifying. As long as those netizens are willing, they will dig out even the 18th generation of your ancestors. Using them to find relevant information about the case is sometimes more efficient than relying solely on our power. In the announcement It’s good to hide some key information during the case.” "I see." The leader of the task force suddenly realized, "I'll arrange for them to do it, but..." His face showed a embarrassed look again, "I haven't used the official Weibo since it was opened, I'm afraid We are humble people."

"This is not a problem. Although the media's unscrupulousness and limitlessness have already flooded, most of the official media will still take a good stand on this matter." "The information before that?" "Since it has been blocked, don't make it public for now, and let netizens rely on official information." "Okay." The task force leader nodded and dialed the network supervisor's phone number. L County Public Security Bureau—the Public Security Bureau of this remote and small county is not even equipped with a forensic dissection room. Table, which acts as a temporary dissecting table.

"Qin Fayi, I hope you don't mind. The conditions in the county are limited. We don't even have forensic doctors. They are all seconded from superiors." The leader of the task force rubbed his hands and said embarrassingly. Qin Ling didn't speak, and went straight into the temporary anatomy room, observed it, and said, "The lighting is not good, can you find me some lights with higher power, it is best to create the effect of a shadowless lamp." "No problem." The task force leader nodded hurriedly, and five minutes later, he transferred the only few off-road vehicles in the bureau.

"This is the best light I can find." The task force leader said with a smile. "Forget it, let's make do with it." Qin Ling smiled bitterly. She has never tried dissection and trace inspection under such conditions. Whether it is the school's laboratory or the ministry's laboratory, the equipment is the best. advanced. "I have to trouble you to bring my toolbox." Qin Ling smiled sheepishly, "You can't do it alone." Seeing that the task force leader was about to leave, she quickly said, "At least four people." When the task force leader saw his subordinates struggling to lift those tool boxes, the expression on his face changed from doubt to shock. They were four huge metal boxes, bigger than any forensic tool boxes he had ever seen. Big.

It was apparently also flown in.It seemed the ministry was paying more attention to the case than he had imagined.This made him feel great pressure, but also a kind of excitement. If the case was successfully solved, and it was the clues he found, then his career path might go a step further. Early the next morning, Qin Ling was reporting to the task force with thick dark circles under her eyes. "A large amount of alcohol was found in the victim's body, and a large amount of food that would not be digested in the future was detected in the stomach. The food in the stomachs of the nine victims was similar. I suspect that the meal they should have together before the murder may be a party."

"Can you determine where they ate through the food?" Tang Hegong asked. "Not sure yet." Qin Ling was a little tired, "I'm trying to restore what dishes they ate. Judging from the current speed of restoration, it will take a day. Judging from the restored dishes, there is nothing special, just average. It's all in the hotel." "Well, you continue." "A large amount of narcotic ingredients were found in the victim's body. Before killing them, the murderer should have given them similar drugs to avoid resistance during the murder. Moreover, I suspect that the murderer was familiar with these victims. The victim voluntarily He left."

"Why does Qin Fayi think so?" The leader of the special case team was a little puzzled, "You said just now that anesthetic ingredients were found in their bodies, and it is entirely possible that the murderer kidnapped them one by one after they separated." "Time and dose." Qin Ling said, "The dose of anesthetic in their bodies is basically the same, which means that the time for taking the anesthetic is not much different. If the murderer kidnaps one by one, it is difficult to control the time. The dose of anesthetic is There will be more or less." "The murderer should have attended the party with these people. When he left, he sent these people home and let them get into the car together, and then tricked them into drinking a drink mixed with narcotics under the pretext of hangover." Zheng Yan thought for a while. , said. "I think so too." Qin Ling nodded, "The next part is the scene. There is nothing worth talking about. Zheng Yan has already mentioned the technique and process. They all died of suffocation. This has been confirmed by the autopsy. confirm." "Next is some information about the murderer." Qin Ling flipped through the report in her hand, "The murderer was wearing a shoe size 42, and he was wearing a pair of leather shoes at the scene. By comparing the soles of the shoes, I think they are a pair of Hermes. Leather shoes, and they are new this year. Because of the geological conditions at the site, I can't calculate his height and weight." "Hermes? There are not many in this county who can afford that brand of leather shoes." The leader of the task force looked slightly embarrassed, and took a few steps back at the same time.This subtle movement did not escape Zheng Yan's eyes. Unexpectedly, the majestic-looking leader of the task force was actually wearing a pair of cloth shoes, one with his toes exposed. Everyone in the Z team wears leather shoes on their feet. Although they are not as good as Hermès, they are also expensive.This made Zheng Yan feel very uncomfortable. "This is really strange." Zheng Yan looked away and said with a frown, "He can afford famous brands, can afford to drive a car, is familiar with and even has in-depth research on philosophy, but he also understands the structure of locks very well. Change the internal structure without destroying the appearance. Team leader, is there a lock company in this county?" "No." The leader of the task force shook his head, "There are very few lockpicking companies, but all the lockpicking companies have records with us. I really don't remember anyone who can afford this kind of shoes and a car. .” "It's nothing strange." Du Li, who had been quiet all this time, said suddenly, "He may have graduated from the Department of Philosophy, but his experience was very rough. He may have worked as a lock repairer and unlocker before, but because of some kind of chance, he is now a successful person. So, he has status, but he has that kind of skill." "There are only a few successful people in this county." The leader of the task force frowned, "I'll arrange someone to check their background, and it won't take long to find them." Saying that, he got up and left the conference room. "Then let's stop here for the time being." Tang He Gong spread his hands, "Qin Ling will continue to analyze the ingredients, and if it doesn't work, send a few chefs over to make it together." "The master chef in the cafeteria is already helping me." Qin Ling said, her face suddenly became extremely pale, she turned her head and retched violently. Taking a breath, he turned his head again, "However, I suggest that everyone should not know about the master's method." "You clearly want us to know what happened by saying that." Tang He Gong asked with a smile. "The master himself tasted every food taken from the stomachs of the dead." This time, the expressions on the faces of all the people still in the conference room became extremely weird. "The master said that every chef has his own habits, and the amount of food ingredients used can roughly tell which cuisine the chef is good at." "Stop talking." Tang Hegong waved his hand, "Today we'll go out to eat." Not long after returning to the residence, Du Li knocked on the door of Zheng Yan's room, handed him a document, and said, "Look at this." "What is this?" Zheng Yan frowned, "You know I have dyslexia." "It's the theory about ouroboros." Du Li was a little helpless, "What I said before doesn't seem to be suitable for this case, so I asked a friend to check some more information, which he passed on. According to him , the Ouroboros creature also represents 'self-referencing' or 'infinite looping', especially those things that are capable of constant self-replication, as well as cyclical self-development, an example of which is the legendary phoenix, which in Self-reproduction in the process of self-burning, you can also understand it as rebirth. The pattern of ouroboros interweaves multiple meanings, and the most important symbolic meaning develops from the appearance of the symbol itself. The big snake in the symbol is biting and devouring itself This is a spiritual manifestation of the concept of the cycle of the universe: the reciprocation of construction and destruction, the alternation of life and death. From an ecological point of view, it is speculated that the big snake needs to eat its tail to survive, and its tail brings it infinite food, another cycle of eternal regeneration." "It's too complicated." Zheng Yan smiled wryly, "Can I understand that the murderer's life is about to end, and he tried to regenerate himself in this way?" "There is nothing wrong with this understanding, but I think there may be another meaning." Du Li shook her head, "L County's economy is very backward, and the economically backward areas are often accompanied by the prosperity of another thing, that is Politics. I just checked the relevant information of L County, and found that this area has always been very tight in politics, and political study has always been the top priority of L County. " "You mean?" Zheng Yan had some difficulty agreeing with Du Li's conjecture. "People who graduated from the philosophy department usually work as teachers, civil servants, and journalists. They don't care much about their own lives, and pay more attention to the spiritual level and career level." "If it is true as you said, then this person's career may have entered a difficult decision period, or a bottleneck, and he needs a rebirth to reach a higher level. Of course, we also hope that our inference is wrong." Zheng Zheng Yan sat on the bed, picked up the phone next to the bed, and dialed the number of Tang Hegong's room, "Boss, I suggest checking whether the L county government and public institutions have plans for general elections or personnel changes recently."
