Chapter 6 Chapter 6 "China's Jack the Ripper"

"Crack!" There was no sound in the special conference hall on the 6th floor of the comprehensive office building of the Municipal Legal Committee.The log-colored tables and chairs and some mottled thick white porcelain cups make people feel like time is stagnant.Everything is so dignified, even the two orioles on the "Green Willow Picture" on the west wall look dumb.A heavy newspaper clipping was slammed on the table at this moment, and the dust raised up was floating in a column of dim sunlight, not falling for a long time.The newspaper clippings pasted the reports of the series of breast-cutting murders by major media from all over the world, among which there are many ridicule and sarcasm about the police in our country. "There is no progress in the detection...the city has become the East End of London in 1888." The title that a British newspaper gave to the murderer in an opinion article was later considered to be one of the hottest Internet words of the year—" China's Jack the Ripper". Between August 7 and November 9, 1888, there were five cases in which prostitutes were murdered and mutilated near Whitechapel in the East End of London, England.The area around Whitechapel has always been full of fish and dragons, and crimes are frequent.The first case occurred on August 7. The middle-aged prostitute Martha Tablian was killed and was stabbed 39 times.Immediately afterwards, at 3:45 a.m. on August 31, the prostitute Mary Ann Nicholas was found dead in the stocking area near Whitechapel. She was cut twice, but the most cruel thing was that her abdomen was cut open, her intestines were dragged out, and her genitals were severely stabbed by sharp knives. Eight days later, in the early hours of September 8, 47-year-old prostitute Anne Chapman was found dead in the rear fence of a rental apartment. , part of the uterus and abdomen were cut off by the murderer. On September 30, the fourth murder occurred, and the deceased was named Elizabeth Stead. On November 9, 26-year-old prostitute Mary Kelly was murdered again in her residence. Her body was cut open and her internal organs were taken out and scattered in the room. The scene was like a hell on earth...

Meanwhile, on September 27, a news agency received a letter written in red ink and stamped with fingerprints. The writer stated in a joking tone that he was the murderer of serial murders, and signed the letter that would later be included in the history of world crimes. The name that will always be remembered - "Jack the Ripper" (jacktheripper).After the murder of Mary Kelly, "Jack the Ripper" disappeared, and there has been no similar murder method in London.In order to solve this case, the British police mobilized unprecedented manpower and material resources, and almost the whole country hunted down the murderer, but found nothing. In 1892, the police announced that they had stopped investigating the case.The world's first serial abnormal murder case came to an end.The result of the fight between the police and the criminals is that "the road is as high as the devil, and the devil is as high as one foot", which seems to be a kind of omen in a sense.Since then, from a global perspective, perverted homicide cases are the most difficult to detect among various criminal cases. Most criminals fall into the law after bearing dozens or even dozens of lives. Just get away with it, just like "Jack the Ripper", forever covered by the haze of time... "I don't know how you feel after reading this clipping." Li Sanduo, deputy secretary of the Municipal Law Committee, is a small, skinny old man , but when he lost his temper, the wrinkles on his face were distorted and deformed like tree roots, which can only be described by the word "sinister".There was a room full of participants in black uniforms. They were all the heads of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Headquarters, Sub-bureau, and Criminal Investigation Team. Normally, they would be like tigers and leopards in the face of criminals, but at this moment they all kept silent. "You guys don't feel it? Don't you feel it at all?" Li Sanduo sneered a few times, pointed to his red nose and said loudly: "Then tell everyone, I have a strong feeling, that is - shame! Very, very - -Shame!" Everyone—except Xu Ruilong, the director of the Municipal Bureau sitting on Li Sanduo's left—had their heads down, not even daring to roll their eyelids.Xu Ruilong stared at the foggy sky outside the window, his face ashen. "In the face of those ridicules, we didn't dare to say a word, why? Because until now, so many people have died, we haven't even stepped on the shadow of the murderer!" Li Sanduo pounded his fists loudly The table, with its strength, makes all the china cups hum.

"In view of the fact that the case has caused extensive and extremely bad influence in the world, the superior leaders decided to make this case the No. With a high sense of responsibility, regard the investigation of this case as a major political task, and bring the criminals to justice quickly, cleanly and decisively!" Li Sanduo's voice was as cold and firm as iron, and after a pause , He breathed a little relief, and then said, "Comrades, it is a great shame for our public security officers to allow criminals to slaughter unarmed and innocent people like this! Please express your opinion!" It was full of people, but it was as silent as death for about 5 minutes.Li Sanduo was really calm, drinking his tea in sips, "waiting for the good news", his half-closed eyes poked out from the rim of the teacup like an eagle watching its prey through the branches and leaves. , emitting a light like a hook, gouging out everyone in the conference hall, he clearly saw beads of sweat the size of beans on the foreheads of many people... Ten minutes passed, a full ten minutes, not a single person People "express their views" - except for Li Sanduo, everyone has a sense of suffocation like dying.Li Sanduo looked at his watch: "No one speaks? So many people have died, and the murderer is still at large. We comrades who are police officers, don't even dare to be responsible?" Du Jianping, who has always been hot-tempered, couldn't sit still. "Teng" stood up: "Secretary Li, I am the team leader of this case. The case has not been solved until now, and it continues to deteriorate. I should take the main responsibility! Dismissal and investigation, I admit it!" Li Sanduo tilted his neck and raised his face to look at him: "Don't worry about the dismissal. What I'm worried about now is how can the case be solved as soon as possible? Can you give me an exact time to solve it, one week? Half a month? One month? It can’t be delayed until the 22nd century, right?” Even an idiot could hear the teasing in Li Sanduo’s words, and Du Jianping’s ax face was as red as if it had been baked on a stove.During these days, in order to solve the case, he didn’t even go home. He laid the floor in the office every day, commanded various criminal police to attack, and coordinated the work between the sub-bureaus. He was so tired that his eyes and throat were swollen, but the public security work In this way, working hard may not necessarily produce work.Now, Li Sanduo is forcing him to issue a military order, Du Jianping knows that he is really at the end of his rope, and even Liu Simiao, who has always placed high hopes on him, is helpless at the moment.If you slap your face swollen to look fat and issue a military order, if you can't solve the case when it expires, the reputation and official career you have worked hard in the front line of criminal investigation for many years will be completely ruined!

"I...I..." Du Jianping was speechless for a while. "Jianping..." Li Sanduo looked at him and waved his hands, "You...you should take a break!" Duty, but for a moment, he felt extraordinarily relaxed.Li Sanduo was no longer interested in Du Jianping, who was already a feather. He turned his eyes to Xu Ruilong who had been sitting upright. He purposely stayed on Xu Ruilong for half a minute, so that everyone in the conference hall could see him.Then he "righted" his crooked neck, scanned the venue, and said with a sneer: "Jianping is not easy, and we have fought day and night for this case, but as policemen, our blood has dried up and our sweat has dried up." , It’s useless to work hard with the abacus, and it’s useless to calculate a lot—what I want is credit! What I want is to solve the case! It’s time to take off some black hats!” The meeting ended.These police chiefs who are usually proud and arrogant, at this moment, filed out one by one in disgrace.Li Sanduo squinted at the door, and everyone left. He waved his hand, and the beautiful secretary with a height of 1.75 meters sensibly closed the door gently.In the empty conference hall, only he and Xu Ruilong were left. "Director Xu." Li Sanduo asked coldly, "Why didn't you say a word at today's meeting?" "Secretary Li." Xu Ruilong still kept his eyes straight, "I don't think I have anything to say to you. By the way , didn’t you say that if you can’t solve the case, you have to take off a few black hats? I’m waiting!” “Old donkey head…” Li Sanduo stared at him for a long time, muttered, and suddenly jumped up from the chair, Stretching out his hand and scratching his armpit, he shouted viciously: "It's against you, dare to talk to the leader like that? Aren't you afraid that I will rule over you!" Xu Ruilong laughed and dodged left and right, and suddenly grabbed Li Sanduo He twisted his arm backwards, pushed him down on the table, and asked with a smile: "Old monkey, are you convinced? How dare you take off my black gauze hat and dictatorship over me? Believe it or not, I will take off your trousers and let you That beautiful secretary of yours, check if your butt is red!" "Ouch! It hurts me to death!" Li Sanduo grinned with his face pressed against the table, "I surrender, I surrender..."

In the city's public security system, very few people know the origins of Li Sanduo and Xu Ruilong.At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Ruilong's father, Xu Tianxiang, the captain of the detective team who has always been far-sighted, believed that the trend of the new regime was unclear and unpredictable. Two masters", then hung up the seal and left, returned home, and stayed at home all day.Unexpectedly, during the first National Public Security Conference held in October 1949, Luo Ruiqing, then Minister of Public Security, delivered a speech on "putting down the burden of thinking and making contributions to the people's regime", hoping that those policemen who had served in the old regime—— As long as they have not committed serious crimes against the people and have clearly explained the historical issues——actively participate in the public security cause of New China, and name Xu Tianxiang, the "No. Visited him and asked him to "don't have scruples and be the Zhong Kui of the motherland".Xu Tianxiang was so moved that he became the director of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.Xu Tianxiang's son, Xu Ruilong, has known Li Sanduo since childhood because they lived in the same alley.Everyone in the alley knows that Li Sanduo's father was a high-ranking official in the military. On March 17, 1946, on the way back to Nanjing from Qingdao with Dai Li, the plane he was on was killed in an accident in Daishan, Banqiao Town, Jiangning. .Due to the family's "secret background", after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the family was cleared from a courtyard and moved to a low bungalow next to Xu Ruilong's house. More than 50 years later, Xu Ruilong still remembers that when he was young, every evening, when he was squatting under the window of the steamed stuffed bun shop at the entrance of the alley to smell the smell of meat, he would often see Li Sanduo staggering away with a bruised nose and a swollen face. After entering the house, there were screams and crying from several women inside the door.It turned out that Li Sanduo slipped back to his former residence and stood at the door shouting: "You live in my house!" As a result, he was beaten by the new owner's son, but within a few days, he slipped back and shouted as usual, He was still beaten... No matter how hard he was beaten, Xu Ruilong had never heard Li Sanduo, who was only two years older than him, cry.That is, from then on, Xu Ruilong was often instilled by his mother: "Don't play with that kid surnamed Li. Their family is a spy, our family is a policeman; his father is a bad guy, your father is a good guy; he is a bad boy." , you are a good boy, so..."

Therefore, black and white, good and evil, good and bad, evil and righteous, are destined to be distinct, life and death.Since childhood, Xu Ruilong and Li Sanduo have drawn a clear line.Although they all lived in the same alley, Xu Ruilong seldom paid attention to him, even when Li Sanduo nodded and bowed to him with a slippery smile, he walked past with his head held high and his chest held high, turning a blind eye. "Li Sanduo, be honest with me!" With this sentence, every time he caught up with a political movement-three anti-five anti, anti-rightist, four clean-ups... Xu Ruilong would sternly warn Li Sanduo.As time went by, the reprimand was tied with a red scarf around his neck, and slowly the regiment emblem was hung on the chest of his clothes. Later, he became a glorious public security officer; As an adult, I support myself and a large family by collecting junk.At first, Xu Ruilong, who was wearing a snow-white police uniform, didn't pay attention to this little bastard at all. However, when he passed the Cultural Palace after the night shift, he saw Li Sanduo in suits and leather shoes with a beautiful man with a "big roll" on it. When the woman came out hugging and hugging, she was stunned—how did this guy in rags get into the social scene?Besides, where did he get the money to buy this outfit?Could it be that this guy "inherited his father's legacy"?Became a spy—he was the son of a Kuomintang spy! From this day on, for several years, Xu Ruilong secretly tracked Li Sanduo's every move, and found that he often "changed" into different characters according to different circumstances. Kind of person: In an antique shop, he is "Boss Li" who buys and sells calligraphy and paintings. In the alley, he was still the same Li Sanduo who collected the rags, Li Sanduo who bowed his head, and Li Sanduo who was dressed in rags.Xu Ruilong felt more and more that he was unfathomable, but he didn't catch any clues to his crime.And Li Sanduo seemed to have known about his pursuit long ago, and he smiled strangely and viciously when they met.After the Cultural Revolution began, Xu Tianxiang was defeated and disappeared mysteriously.Xu Ruilong and hundreds of other police officers were also designated as "traitors, spies, and counter-revolutionaries" and were detained in a farm in the western suburbs.On the day they came to the farm, all the "prisoners" were escorted to a large grain drying field to listen to the leader's lecture-their lives were held in the hands of the newly appointed leader.What Xu Ruilong never dreamed of was that the "leader" standing in front of him was actually Li Sanduo, who he had been following for many years!

Li Sanduo is indeed "inheriting his father's career", but he is not a Kuomintang spy, but a senior intelligence officer of our party.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, considering that the Kuomintang secret agents would continue to infiltrate the mainland, the Central Investigation Department secretly developed a group of family members of the Kuomintang officials with high consciousness, who were responsible for contacting the secret agents and cracking them down in one fell swoop.The young Li Sanduo was resourceful and made outstanding achievements repeatedly.At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, as the entire political and legal system in the city was overthrown, these police officers who were detained in the western suburbs of the farm were left unsupervised, and Li Sanduo, who had a special status, was temporarily transferred here to serve as the "field director" of the farm.Xu Ruilong thought that if he fell into Li Sanduo's hands, he would surely die a bad death, but Li Sanduo apparently yelled at these "prisoners" all day long with a stern voice, but in fact he gave them family leave and improved food every now and then. Open one eye and close one eye.In particular, once Xu Ruilong was seriously ill and he was gasping for breath while lying in the cell. Li Sanduo came here to have a look, scolded him for pretending to be dead, and said to the medical staff: "The chicken I raised just died this morning. Go to the stew pot of chicken soup for him! Let’s see if he can breathe for a few more days?!” Two years later, Xu Ruilong was sleeping soundly, and the prison door opened with a clang. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw that it was Li Sanduo came in, wearing a prison uniform, with the quilt under his arms, lying down beside him, and said carelessly: "Hey, make room!" "You...how did you come in?" Xu Ruilong was very surprise. "Is this prison opened by your family? I want you to live in it, not me?" Li Sanduo said indifferently: "Go to the right...don't squeeze me!" Xu Ruilong wanted to ask again, but he heard Li Sanduo Sanduo's snoring—no guy could sleep so fast and soundly on the first day in prison, Li Sanduo simply created a miracle.It was only later that Xu Ruilong and other detainees learned that Li Sanduo had been accused of "collaborating with prisoners, opposing Chairman Mao politically, and opposing the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution." one of the prisoners.However, Li Sanduo's "prisoner's life" was very nourishing. The public security officers who were under his care on weekdays, seeing him in trouble for everyone, praised him like Song Jiang, and let him eat when they were hungry and cold. Dress warmly. "I have been bullying you since I was a child. Why didn't you retaliate against me when you were on the spot?" Xu Ruilong once asked Li Sanduo.

"You are a cat, and cats should catch mice. This is your duty; but I am not a mouse, but a cat pretending to be a mouse—we are all of the same kind, take revenge!" Li Sanduo said.Another time, when I was tired from work, someone joked with Li Sanduo: "Everyone says that your 'Sanduo' means more money, more women, and more ghost ideas. Is it true or not?" !" Li Sanduo said with a playful smile, "My Sanduo has a lot of shit, piss, and fart!" Laughter suddenly resounded in the farmland.Fa Xiaoer, neighbors, rivals, inmates... After decades of vicissitudes, suddenly a dream.During those years of being together in the western suburbs farm and sharing weal and woe, Xu Ruilong and Li Sanduo became close friends.One late autumn, when the two brothers were working on the farm, they stole some sweet potatoes.In the evening, there was a slanting sun on Xishan, and the evening clouds were like blood.The two found a place to leeward, Xu Ruilong roasted sweet potatoes, Li Sanduo squatted beside a pile of firewood not far away to defecate, the fire somehow burned to the bottom of his buttocks, making him bark and scream, When I carried it back to the infirmary, I saw that the right buttock was all red. From then on, Xu Ruilong nicknamed him "Old Monkey".Li Sanduo was also not polite, and returned the nickname of "Old Donkey Head" to the stubborn Xu Ruilong... Immediately after the Cultural Revolution ended, hundreds of people on the farm were reinstated and promoted, all over the entire municipal legal system.Within a few years, Li Sanduo became the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.When Xu Ruilong took the position of deputy director, Li Sanduo, who had a successful official career, became the deputy secretary of the municipal legal committee.Now, the old donkey and the old monkey were tired of fighting, and they sat in the meeting hall, lit a cigarette, and chatted about the current case while puffing. "In the final analysis, you still have to thank me." Li Sanduo smirked, "If it weren't for me, Du Jianping would never obediently give up his position as the leader of the special case team." "You old guy, you are almost done!" Great." Xu Ruilong said with a smile, "However, the most urgent thing is to appoint a new task force leader." "No matter what you appoint, you can do it yourself. I don't believe it, you, an old criminal policeman, can't handle such a case. "Li Sanduo said. "I can't do it..." Xu Ruilong shook his head, his expression was like the deep purple curtains in the conference hall, as if they were about to fall.Li Sanduo did not expect that this person who never admit defeat would be so frustrated, he couldn't help but become serious: "Old Xu, tell me the truth, is the case really that difficult to solve?"

"You have heard about the matchbox. The criminals this time, regardless of their IQ, courage, and anti-investigation capabilities, are far beyond those criminals we have faced in the past. I am afraid that they will not be able to use the traditional and old-fashioned way of handling cases." Response. Du Jianping is an example.” Xu Ruilong said, “Lao Li, after I visited Britain, Japan and the United States, many people in the bureau commented that I had changed. Criminal investigation work has long since abandoned the single-line detection mode of finding the relationship between the suspect and the victim, speculating on the motive of the crime, and then following the map to find out. Investigation and forensic science, to obtain the evidence of criminal suspects involved in the case, supplemented by various high-tech means, form a three-dimensional modern criminal investigation pattern, thereby greatly improving the detection rate. If criminals are fully intelligent, but we are conservative If we still only know how to search, get stuck, and mobilize the masses, then we are like arresting a person wearing an infrared night vision device in the dark night, and it may be very noisy and restless-but we will never catch him!" Li San Da Duo laughed: "Director Xu has talked so much, I must have already had a suitable candidate for the task force leader." "Are you busy this afternoon?" Xu Ruilong asked suddenly.Li Sanduo was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head. "That's right, come with me, I'll show you how to open your eyes." Xu Ruilong dragged him downstairs, walked out of the yard of the Municipal Legal Committee through the back door, and stopped a taxi.The two sat on it, and Xu Ruilong said to the driver: "Go to the Police College." The two elder brothers are powerful figures in the public security system. In order not to be recognized and alarm the school leaders, they had no choice but to sneak into the Police College. As soon as I entered the multi-functional lecture hall, I was shocked at the same time: the lecture hall, which could accommodate 500 people, was crowded with 800 people, even the aisles were full, and most of them were female students, although they wore black police uniforms. They are all dressed in clothes, but they all look forward to flying, one is more beautiful than the other, like a piece of neon in the night. "What's the matter?" Li Sanduo asked in a low voice ignorantly, "I never saw so many beauties when I came here for inspection!" Standing on the podium, the beauties immediately rushed to the bathroom to remove their makeup—do you believe it?” At this time, a girl sitting in the front row stood up and made a silent gesture to the back, and the whole lecture hall was like a boiling hot pot After being added a spoonful of soup, it fell silent with a "wow", and countless pairs of eyes were staring at the entrance on the left side of the podium, which was so hot that it could almost set the curtain on fire.Then, a police officer walked into the lecture hall from the entrance, walking calmly.He stood still behind the podium, took off his police cap, and put it on the podium. He raised his slightly lowered head slightly, and everyone saw his handsome face, pink lips and white teeth, and crescent-like eyebrows. , with calm and deep eyes like a lake... A soft sigh sounded in the lecture hall, like a gust of wind.Li Sanduo clearly heard a female student gritted her teeth behind her and murmured—"My God...you are so handsome!" The police officer on the podium seemed to be unaware of all this, and he smiled at the audience He nodded slightly, and then introduced himself: "My name is Lin Xiangming, and I am the leader of the Behavioral Science Group of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Thank you for coming to my lecture." Lin Xiangming turned around and wrote a message on the blackboard. English word: profile "This is the topic I'm going to tell you today-criminal personality profile".
