Chapter 18 Chapter 15 Lost

Fang Mu stepped across the lawn in a few steps, and hurriedly walked along the path to the bedroom.Downstairs in the dormitory, Liu Jianjun in a suit and leather shoes was talking to Deng Linyue.Seeing Fang Mu coming over, Deng Linyue greeted Fang Mu enthusiastically, and Deng Linyue smiled at Fang Mu very politely.Fang Mu waved his hand absently, and walked quickly into the dormitory building. About five minutes ago, Du Yu called Fang Mu in the dormitory, saying that a college classmate was looking for him. After graduating from Normal University, Fang Mu almost cut off contact with his college classmates.He was very surprised by someone visiting.

Pushing open the door, a man sat up from Fang Mu's bed, and said with a smile in a strong Dalian accent, "Lao Liu, you are back." Fang Mu was stunned for a few seconds, walked over without saying a word, and hugged that person tightly, "Boss." The boss was a little overwhelmed by Fang Mu's sudden enthusiasm.He tapped Fang Mu's back hard: "You kid, you haven't changed much." Fang Mu let go of his hands in embarrassment, and secretly wiped the slightly moist corners of his eyes with his hands. "Boss, why are you here?" "I happened to be here on a business trip, so I just stopped by to see you. Damn, I didn't expect your J University's guards to be so strict. I registered my ID card before letting me in."

"Hehe, a lot of things happened in the school a few days ago, so the management of outsiders is stricter." "Oh, what's the matter?" "Two students were killed." Du Yu interrupted. "Damn, why do things like this happen everywhere?" The boss frowned, seeing Fang Mu's face change, he hurriedly changed the topic. "The conditions in your dormitory are pretty good, is it postgraduate standard?" "Yes. How are you, Boss?" "Hehe, let's dawdle. You know how difficult it is for college students to find a job now. I work in a state-owned enterprise in Dalian, and the unit is not in a recession, so we have to file a lawsuit for the unit and collect debts for the unit. This time Come, I came to a company here to ask for money."

Fang Mu smiled, "Do you still have contact with the other brothers?" "The second brother went to the army. The boss of 351 who went with him said that he is now a company-level cadre. The fifth child went to Guangzhou to work as a lawyer after graduation. I heard that he was doing well. However, I have less contact with them. "The voice of the boss lowered, "You also know that after the incident with the third brother, the fourth brother died, and you managed to save your life. The six good brothers are the only four of us left. Everyone loves you I avoided this matter as if I hadn’t announced it, and wished I could forget about it sooner, so naturally I slowly cut off contact.”

Fang Mu noticed that Du Yu was listening with his ears upright, so he pulled up the boss and said, "Let's go, boss, it's hard for you to come here once, and I'll treat you to dinner." In the small restaurant at the gate of the school, Fang Mu and the boss drank red-faced.After all, they used to be brothers who were as close as brothers, and since we haven't seen each other for more than two years, there is naturally a lot to say.In the beginning, both of them rushed to talk, just like two elderly people who are dying and competing for memory.It's just that both of them carefully avoided the tragedy, and tried their best to recall a certain strongman's high opinion and all kinds of absurd things that made people laugh out loud at that time.Having nothing to say, he smirked and poured wine into his mouth.

When the wine was almost finished, the boss suddenly slapped his head, "By the way, there is one more thing. Did the reporter come to you afterwards?" "Reporter?" Fang Mu was a little confused, "What reporter?" "Isn't there a reporter who wants to interview you?" The boss looked even more confused. "Interview me? Interview me for what?" "Oh, what else can I do. About the third child." Fang Mu's wine suddenly sobered up, "What's going on?" "Hehe, what are you in a hurry for? About three months ago, I received a call one day, and the other party said it was a reporter from the C City Evening News. He asked me if I was your classmate, I said yes, and then I asked him how Knowing my phone number, he said he looked it up in the alumni record of our class. He said that he wanted to investigate the incident of the third child back then, and said that he wanted to write a report on the mental health of college students.”

"What did you tell him?" "It's nothing, it's just what I know. But I feel that that person doesn't care about the third child very much. On the contrary, he cares more about you." "follow me?" "Yeah, for example, your character, your performance afterwards, etc. I think it might be because you are the only survivor." Fang Mu thought for a while, then asked, "What is that person like?" "I don't know the specifics, but the voice is not very old, only over 30 years old, quite polite." The boss noticed that Fang Mu's brows were getting tighter and tighter, "What's the matter? Didn't he come to interview you?"

"No." Fang Mu shook his head. "That's weird, what does this person want to do?" The boss looked puzzled. The question mark in Fang Mu's heart is the same as that of the boss.He remembered the person Mr. Zhao had mentioned to him during the summer vacation. Zhao Yonggui's trip to Hegang was worthless.When the transfer was made, the local police provided the following information: When the deceased Wang Qian was in high school in Hegang, a male classmate named Yan Hongbing once pursued her hard.It's just that this kid's way of expressing love is very domineering: any man who has contact with Wang Qian will inevitably be punched and kicked by him and his little buddies in society.Once, Yan Hongbing happened to meet a male teacher who taught physics when he was giving extracurricular tutoring to Wang Qian. As a result, the male teacher was beaten with a ruptured spleen.After the college entrance examination, Wang Qian went to J University, Yan Hongbing became unemployed, and went to J University twice to pester Wang Qian.When I went there for the second time, I was severely beaten by the students of the football team led by Qu Weiqiang.At that time, Yan Hongbing said, "You wait, and I will deal with you sooner or later." Before the 7.1 incident, Yan Hongbing left Hegang and disappeared.

This piece of information was in line with the reconnaissance idea suggested by Professor Qiao, and it also made Zhao Yonggui very excited.When the news of Yan Hongbing's sudden return to Hegang came from Hegang, Zhao Yonggui asked the other party to control Yan Hongbing, and at the same time rushed to Hegang overnight to question Yan Hongbing. The result disappointed Zhao Yonggui.It is true that Yan Hongbing went to J University to pester Wang Qian and others, but he went to Guangzhou shortly after returning to Hegang to work as a thug in an underground casino. In mid-June 2002, Yan Hongbing was seriously injured in a fight with weapons.At the time of the incident, he was still seeking medical treatment at a local hospital in Guangzhou, and was under close surveillance by the police.

So when Zhao Yonggui stood sullenly by the corridor window smoking a cigarette again, Tai Wei, who had just returned from the bureau chief's office, only took one look at him and knew what sympathy was.Because Tai Wei's mood is also not high. Not to mention that the homicide case in the hospital has reached a stalemate, and there is no clue about the girl child murder case that just happened.All investigations conducted by the police in accordance with the original detection ideas were unsuccessful. On the day of the incident, most of the students in Jin Qiao's class were picked up by their parents. Only one little girl recalled that when she returned home, she saw Jin Qiao standing at the school gate, as if waiting for someone.The head teacher was going to celebrate his father-in-law's birthday that day, so he left right after work.No one paid attention to who Jin Qiao followed and where she went after school.

Jin Bingshan and Yang Qin were both teachers at J University. Later, Jin Bingshan resigned from his teaching position and started a cultural company with his friends. His wife Yang Qin continued to teach at J University.Whether in school or in society, the couple have a good reputation and have never had any grudges with others.Although Jin Bingshan is in the business world, he keeps himself clean and has never heard of having an affair with other women.The possibility of vendetta and love killing can basically be ruled out. The investigation and visits to the people around the crime scene also had little effect.According to Jin Bingshan, he went home at about 2 o'clock in the morning on the day when the body was discovered. At that time, there was no cardboard box in front of the door until he opened the door at about seven o'clock.Therefore, the murderer should have delivered the cardboard box containing Jin Qiao's body to the gate of Jin's house between 2:00 am and 7:00 am.In this season, around 6 o'clock, the sky has already begun to light.Therefore, the killer most likely delivered the cardboard boxes to Kim's home between 2am and 5am.And during this time, this is the time when people's sleep is the deepest.Therefore, when the police officers investigated whether the surrounding people heard the sound of dragging objects or saw suspicious vehicles, almost everyone shook their heads.Only a middle-aged man suffering from prostatitis said that when he got up to go to the toilet at around 4 o'clock, he faintly heard the sound of a car starting downstairs.As for the model, license plate, and characteristics of the driver, there is no way to verify it. Regarding the cardboard boxes containing the corpses, the police investigated various adidas stores and counters in the city.The information obtained is: this kind of carton is a cargo box for sportswear.After the goods are taken out in the store, the cartons are sold to the waste collection station. Occasionally, a clerk who needs a carton will take one or two home.There are thousands of waste collection stations in the whole city, large and small, and it will take some time to investigate them one by one. As for the piece of pottery, the police found during the investigation that it came from an imitation of a work by British potter Grayson Perry.There are countless handicraft sales outlets selling such imitations, and investigating buyers is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. After saying hello to the gloomy old Zhao in the corridor, Tai Wei went into the office, rubbing his temples desperately, while opening the file, reading page by page. It was almost midnight when Tai Wei left the Municipal Bureau exhausted.In a wonton shop by the side of the road, Tai Wei reads a few lines scribbled in a notebook while drinking hot peppery soup. In the afternoon, when Tai Wei was reading the file in a daze, he suddenly thought of Fang Mu.I remember what this kid said about the theory of "marks" and "needs". If you really don't have a clue, you might as well try according to what he said. An important breakthrough in homicide investigation is to find out the motive of the murderer, which can narrow the scope of investigation of the suspect.The traces of the crime scene can explain the motive of the murderer to a certain extent. The doubts of the girl child abuse and murder case can be summarized in the following aspects: First, the method of cruelty and killing.As an adult, killing a 7-year-old girl is easy.Why did the murderer spend time and effort killing Jin Qiao alive, and raped the corpse after death?If it is to express a special need of the murderer, then this should be a psychopath. Second, videotape.The murderer took a close-up of Jin Qiao's lower body.What is the need for this?If it is to stimulate sexual desire or collect during future sexual acts, why is it only filmed for 15 seconds, and why is it sent to the victim's home? Third, send the body to the victim's home.Judging from similar cases in the past, this kind of behavior is mostly the murderer's desire to express a challenge or show off.So who is he challenging?The police or the victim's parents? While swallowing the hot wonton, Tai Wei tried his best to imitate Fang Mu's train of thought, trying to analyze the murderer's psychological characteristics.After eating the wontons, he had to admit that apart from frowning, he couldn't learn anything else. Standing in the cold air at midnight, Tai Wei made a decision: no matter how ugly he faced, he would go to talk to Fang Mu tomorrow. Things are much simpler than Tai Wei imagined.Fang Mu did not put on a face that strangers should not approach like last time, but carefully locked the door of the dormitory, took the file and read it quietly. "Have you found its source?" A few minutes later, he pointed to a photo, and Tai Wei went over to see that piece of pottery. "This is more troublesome. There are many handicraft sales outlets in the city. It is difficult to find out who the buyer is." "What does this piece of pottery mean?" Fang Mu looked at the ceiling, as if talking to himself. "Could it be that the deceased accidentally smashed the vase when he was fighting with the murderer at the scene, and then grabbed it in his hand?" "No," Fang Mu shook his head, "the murderer must have stuffed it into her hands after killing the victim." "why?" "Don't you think it's too big?" Fang Mu gestured with his hands, "The murderer killed the victim, raped the corpse, and took a video. During this series of actions, he couldn't have noticed that the deceased was holding the piece of pottery in his hand. .” "You mean," Tai Wei thought for a while, then said slowly, "the murderer put it into the victim's hands to convey some kind of message?" "Yes, but I don't know what the information is. But I think it can be analyzed from two aspects, one is the ceramic itself, and the other is the meaning of this work. The latter needs to find information, as for the former..." Fang Mu He said while thinking, "I think it may have something to do with the identity of the victim. What are the characteristics of ceramics?" "Well, it's harder and more brittle." "That's what I thought too, I think it might mean women." "Oh why?" "I'll answer this question for you later. Let's talk about the murderer himself first. I think this person should be between 25 and 35 years old. He should have a certain cultural foundation and artistic accomplishment, and his financial conditions are acceptable. He looks neat and courteous in his dealings with others. This person has a certain psychosexual disorder, which comes from failed sexual experiences." "in accordance with?" "First of all, this person endowed the pottery with a certain meaning. Let us think that its meaning lies in women. Then this person should be well-educated and have a certain degree of artistic accomplishment. And this kind of person often pays more attention to his appearance. Second, the person showed signs of a sexual psychopath in the criminal method. For example, abuse, for example, necrosis, for example, taking close-ups of the deceased's lower body. Usually, the necromancer is often a person who cannot have normal sex with women and most of them have been sexually rejected and insulted by women, and such people often have a strong desire for domination and sadistic tendencies. In their view, dead women are more satisfying for them to dominate women's bodies This is why I guess the pottery represents women, hard and fragile. It represents rejection and vulnerability. This is the woman in the mind of the murderer. But..." Fang Mu hesitated, "For these I'm not sure about judging because I don't understand why he would choose a dead man who was only 7 years old. Most people with this state of mind would choose an adult victim to balance their inner frustration. And conquering a child who is only 7 years old Girl, I don't think he's getting enough." "Maybe this is the murderer's first attempt? So he chose a relatively easy child to kill? Or it's just a coincidence." "It's still unclear. It's best not to draw conclusions." Fang Mu shook his head, "Also, the file said that the investigation of the source of the vehicle is underway. Is there any news?" "Not yet. The investigation of the taxi driver who was operating that night has not been found. Initially, it is considered that this person may have rented a car or owns a car." "Oh." Fang Mu nodded thoughtfully, "I think you might as well consider the possibility that the acquaintance of the deceased's parents committed the crime." "why?" "If it was a violent hijacking, there would be no movement at the school gate, there must be witnesses. And the deceased was in such a family environment, the parents should teach her some simple self-protection common sense. In addition, although she was only 7 years old , but it will not be like when we were young, we can take away the lump candy. Therefore, I think it is very likely that someone familiar with the situation of his parents made the deceased lose his vigilance and was eventually hijacked." Before Tai Wei left, Fang Mu asked him how the homicide case in the hospital was progressing.Tai Wei hesitated for a moment, but still told Fang Mu truthfully that his original detection idea proved to be wrong.There was no disappointment on Fang Mu's face, but frowning and staring out the window for a long time. "What about the case on July 1?" Fang Mu asked after a long time. "I'm not sure. As you know, it's in charge of the Scripture Preservation Office, so it's not easy for me to ask. However, I don't think I have any clue." Tai Wei looked at Fang Mu's frown, "What's wrong?" Fang Mu didn't make a sound. "Could it be..." Tai Wei pondered for a moment, "Do you think it's the same person who did it?" After a long time, Fang Mu slowly shook his head.A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "It's hard for me to express my feelings. Intellectually speaking, I don't think these cases are done by one person. Because the three cases are very different in terms of techniques, victims, scene characteristics, and murderer's psychological characteristics. However, I have a very special feeling that there seems to be some kind of connection in it." Seeing Tai Wei staring at him with breathless concentration, Fang Mu smiled shyly, "But maybe it's just my own imagination. Don't take it too seriously." When sending Tai Wei to the door, Tai Wei suddenly remembered something: "Have you read the letter from Ma Kai?" Fang Mu hesitated for a moment, and honestly admitted: "No, I burned it." Tai Wei was very surprised, "Burn it?" In his opinion, this is the best material to probe the criminal's psychology, but it is burned without even looking at it by such a person who is very interested in behavioral evidence. It's kind of weird.I wanted to ask the reason, but saw Fang Mu's expression of "don't ask" written all over his face. Damn, how do you say something?Geniuses are freaks.
