After Chen Bai said this, everyone was stunned. Looking at the photos on the whiteboard, they seemed to be able to imagine how desperate those girls were before they died.
"Teacher Chen, would it be useful for us to investigate the relationship between the deceased?"
"It's useless. Although the murderer chose his victims, they definitely don't know each other, but they have one thing in common."
The police began to visit the area where the body was dumped, but the results were not great. Although some people had seen the deceased, the clues provided were of little significance.
"Chen Bai, what should we do now?"
Bai Hongwei was a little anxious. One day had passed and if the murderer was not found in three days, there would be one more corpse.
"Didn't you say that? Stay calm and don't get excited!"
"I can't help but be excited now. Didn't you say we must solve the case within three days? Otherwise, one more person will die."
Chen Bai didn't speak, just looked at the map posted on the whiteboard.
"What's wrong with you? What did you see?"
Chen Bai thought for a while, picked up a pen and marked two locations on the map.
"Let's reorganize this case. When we first found the body, it was behind the bar street. Shen Mei disappeared after coming out of the Jasmine Hotel. We don't know where she went after that. Then the second case, After Zhao Wenwen came out of Ye Qingcheng, he disappeared and then we found the body here. The distance between these places is very far, and we can be sure that Shen Mei's body must have been frozen, which means that the murderer was killed after He didn’t choose to dump the body right away, but waited a few days before dumping the body. Why is that?”
"In order not to be discovered by others, he killed someone?"
Chen Bai shook his head and pointed at the photo of the corpse on the whiteboard.
"No, I said that this person dismembered the body after killing and then refrigerated it. This means that he wanted to see the body at any time so that he could recall the scene of his murder, but then he threw the body away and found a new one. Has it been replaced by another? Or is there any reason why it has to be thrown away?"
Chen Bai was confused when he heard this. He didn't understand anything about criminal psychology, so he could only listen to what Chen Bai said.
"I think it's very likely to be the latter. After all, Zhao Wenwen's body was not frozen. It's even possible that Zhao Wenwen was thrown away just after he was killed. This person thought these girls were trash and insisted on killing these girls... ..”
Chen Bai closed his eyes and fell into deep meditation.
"I am a middle-aged man who lives alone or with someone who doesn't go home very often. I have been hurt by women and cheated badly, so I hate women. I think those who are still playing outside in the middle of the night Girls are not clean, they are garbage, and the garbage should be removed. I may have a car. After all, it is definitely not possible to rob people directly from the street. Those girls who play outside in the middle of the night must take a car to go home. , I like to do it on rainy nights. The rain can wash away all the filth in the world, and it can also wash away all traces of me. I was very nervous when I killed someone for the first time. It took me a long time to kill the girl. I watched A fresh life slowly passed away, and I didn't have a trace of fear in my heart. Instead, I felt that the world had become cleaner."
Chen Bai stopped abruptly at this point, staring at the whiteboard and shaking his head.
"What? What's wrong?"
Although it was not the first time for me to hear Chen Bai analyze the murderer's psychology like this, it still made my hair stand on end. But looking at him, it seemed that there were some things that he had not figured out.
"No, if that's the case, then he will never dismember the body of the deceased and keep it. That does not conform to the logic of his behavior, and I always feel that this person's original purpose of preserving the body is very simple."
Bai Hongwei shook his head. He didn't understand criminal psychology at all, but he noticed a problem that Chen Bai just mentioned. That is, the murderer had a car, and he probably used the car to dump the body.
"I will immediately investigate the traffic surveillance on the day of the incident to see if there are any suspicious vehicles!"
"No, it's useless."
Chen Bai's words instantly extinguished Bai Hongwei's illusions. Chen Bai saw Bai Hongwei's look and explained.
"Actually, it's very simple. Traffic monitoring in Binhai City is not fully covered. There are actually many places where there is no monitoring. The places where we found corpses several times were in monitoring blind spots. There is no point in checking the monitoring. Even if we check the surrounding monitoring
It’s meaningless, the most important thing for us is to find out..."
Before Chen Bai finished speaking, Da Binzi pushed open the office door and ran in panting.
"Don't worry, just take a breath first and then talk!"
Da Binzi nodded and handed over the file bag in his hand.
"this....."
Bai Hongwei came over and saw that what Chen Bai was holding was a bank statement.
"Since the death of Shen Mei and Zhao Wenwen, money has been withdrawn from their bank cards. Three hundred thousand yuan was withdrawn from Shen Mei's bank card, and one hundred thousand yuan was withdrawn from Zhao Wenwen's bank card. Could it be that
Is the murderer looking for money?"
Bai Hongwei was a little confused. He had never seen someone robbed before, but he had never seen someone so ruthless after the robbery.
"Are you looking for money?"
Chen Bai looked at the bank flow and suddenly thought of something.
"Let's take a look at the bank's surveillance. Maybe we can find something based on the surveillance..."
Before Bai Hongwei finished speaking, Chen Bai ran out.
"what are you doing....."
Bai Hongwei chased him out and found Chen Bai standing at the door of the police station, looking at the pouring rain outside.
The case was at a deadlock. Although a man was indeed seen in the bank's ATM surveillance, the man's hat was pulled down low and he had a mask on his face. It was impossible to see what he looked like, so the clue was cut off.
.
"Isn't this person really just looking for money?"
The next evening, when the police station was extremely busy, another body was discovered in the garbage dump in the east of the city.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that the murderer would kill again after three days? Why did he do it so early?"
The deceased was a man in his fifties, with blood oozing from his head. It seemed that he had been hit in the head with a blunt instrument.
"Yes, the murderer will indeed take action three days later, but I'm afraid this person is the first corpse."
Chen Bai rubbed his head, and Da Binzi, who was surveying the scene, raised a question.
"Teacher Chen, how can you be sure that this person must have been killed by the murderer who killed Shen Mei and Zhao Wenwen?"
Chen Bai knelt down and looked at the man lying in the garbage pile and said.
"Because it wasn't until just now that I realized that I was making this person complicated. In fact, this was a case that was too simple to be simple."
At this time, in a shantytown in Binhai City, a man was pulling a young man and speaking earnestly.
"Son, just listen to your father! If you go to school in another place, your father will give you money on time."
"No, I'm not going. I've already found a job. I can support you. I have a girl I like here and I won't leave."
After the boy finished speaking, he shook off the man's hand and left.
"You're right. The corpses we found before were all women, and this time they were men. It does not fit the murderer's psychology. But in fact, I had a complicated mind about this person from the beginning. This person's behavior was actually complicated at the beginning.
He was just a simple robber, but later on he didn’t know what happened and his mentality began to change.”
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said.
"Hurry, I'll catch him soon."
The corpse in the garbage dump was already highly decomposed and it was difficult to identify who it was, but Chen Bai found a registration slip in the corpse's trouser pocket.
After investigation, everyone found out that the deceased's name was Jin Kui, a vegetable vendor at the vegetable market. He went to purchase goods a week ago and never appeared again.
"What? Jin Kui is dead?"
Jin Kui's family lives in an old-fashioned small building. There are really not many small single-family buildings like this left in Binhai City. A woman shook the baby in the cradle while showing a look of disbelief.
"Did Jin Kui commit another crime? Officer, any mistake is our fault, but no matter what, please give Jin Kui a chance."
The woman was about to kneel down as she spoke, but was held back by Chen Bai.
"Sorry, we didn't lie to you, Jin Kui is really dead."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, the woman looked at Chen Bai blankly, not knowing what to say for a while.
"I know you are very sad now, but now I need your help. When did Jin Kui leave? Did he take a lot of money with him before going out?"
The woman nodded and said.
"Yes, he told me that he was going to buy goods. He always goes to buy goods at this time, but who would have thought..."
When the woman said this, she couldn't stop crying.
"Don't worry, we will definitely catch the person who killed your husband."
When he came out of the woman's house, Da Binzi still didn't understand because he felt that Chen Bai didn't ask anything just now.
"Teacher Chen, what exactly did you ask just now?"
Chen Bai smiled, patted Da Binzi on the shoulder and said.
"Boy, you really still have a lot to learn. Let's go! Let's go to the last place the deceased went before he died!"
"where?"
Twenty minutes later, Chen Bai took Da Binzi to a house to take a bath.
"Call your manager out!"
As soon as Chen Bai entered, he sat directly on the large sofa in the hall and put his legs on the coffee table.
"Who is he!"
Within a few minutes, a tall, thick-set man with two flowery arms walked out. The man saw Chen Bai and Chen Bai with a disdainful sneer.
"Let me tell you, we are here to be legal and have nothing to fear!"
When Da Binzi was confused, Chen Bai lit a cigarette and said with a smile.
"What are you doing? Are you scared? We're not here for that kind of thing today. We're here to ask you something else."
With that said, Chen Bai took out a photo and looked at the man and asked.
"Do you know this person?"
"I don't know you, why should I tell you?"
The man was very arrogant. Chen Bai nodded and the man took out a cigarette and was about to light it when he saw Chen Bai suddenly stepped on the coffee table in front of him, jumped up and kicked the man over.
"Let me tell you, just say whatever I ask you. Do you think you are legal? I will call the local police station right now. As long as you are unqualified, I will suspend business for rectification. You know the consequences."
Chen Bai picked up the man and threw him on the sofa. As soon as several men wearing shirts and trousers were about to come over, Da Binzi took out his ID.
"Police, if there's nothing wrong, go away!"
Chen Bai held a cigarette in his mouth, picked up the ashtray on the table, looked at the man and said.
"What do you say when I ask you now? If you're not satisfied with what you say, I'll hit you. If you call the police, I'll go to jail and pay you, but you're done here. Do you understand?"
The man's eyes were hesitant, so Chen Bai directly picked up the ashtray and smashed it on the sofa next to the man's head.
"understand!"
The man was frightened and nodded quickly.
"Okay, have you seen this person?"
Chen Bai took out the photo of Jin Kui. The man looked at it and said with some embarrassment.
"Brother, although I am the manager, it is impossible for every customer to have seen him. However, if this person has been to our house, our technician must have seen him. You go to the second floor and I will call someone for you."
"No, you come with me and let your little brother call someone!"
Chen Bai pulled the man up and the three of them went to the second floor. By this time, the second floor had been cleared, and dozens of technicians were standing there in a row.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. Although we are the police, we are not responsible for combating pornography. We are here today to ask you, has anyone seen this person?"
After saying that, Chen Bai asked Da Binzi to show the photos in his hands to those people.
"I...."
At this time, one of the girls who looked to be in her twenties raised her hand. Chen Bai stood up and looked at the girl and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, you don't have to be nervous. Just tell us what's going on."
The girl nodded, looked at Chen Bai and said.
"This man came here more than a week ago. He is an old customer of mine. We...when he finally left, he said he was coming to see me today."
"Did he wear a lot of money?"
The girl thought for a while and said.
"Yes, he is carrying a fanny pack, but there is definitely not much money in it. I have seen that his fanny packs are all worth five or ten yuan."
Chen Bai nodded. Although people rarely use cash nowadays, merchants usually prepare some cash.
"Okay, let me take a look at the surveillance camera in front of your bathroom door!"
The man was a little embarrassed, but seeing Chen Bai's appearance he couldn't refuse.
"Okay! I'll show you!"
When the two returned to the police station, they happened to see Director Ding and Bai Hongwei with gloomy faces.
"You kid, I asked you to come here to help us solve the case, not to cause us trouble. Look at all the complaints coming to me."
Chen Bai lit a cigarette and said nonchalantly.
"So what? You don't know who those people are. Those are clues that we must investigate. As for my method, it is indeed a bit excessive, but I am not a policeman. I can do whatever I want."
"you!"
Director Ding looked at Chen Bai and was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.
"Forget it, what's going on with this case?"
Chen Bai nodded, threw the USB flash drive in his hand and said.
"The surveillance is now in my hands. Jin Kui got into a taxi after coming out of the bath. We are now looking for the taxi driver. He should be the last person to see the deceased."
The rain was pouring down, and Chen Bai always had a bad feeling when he looked outside. The murderer would kill people every rainy night. Today, the taxi driver found him, but he said that the place where Jin Kui asked him to go was too far, so
Jin Kui got off the car at just an intersection. But there was no surveillance at that intersection, so it was difficult for him to judge whether what the man said was true or false.
"Teacher Chen, haven't you rested yet?"
Da Binzi held up the instant noodles. Chen Bai shook his head, unscrewed the mineral water and stuffed it into Da Binzi's hand.
“Eat slowly!”
"Teacher Chen, you said that if the murderer was just for money, why was he so ruthless in killing people?"
Chen Bai shook his head. In fact, this was something he couldn't figure out.
"Captain Bai, Captain Bai?"
A young police officer walked in to find Bai Hongwei. Chen Bai turned around and looked at the man and said.
"Bai Hongwei went out, what happened?"
"That's right, someone called the police just now. A group of young people got into a fight with a canteen owner. One of the young people bought more than two hundred things and paid for it all with five yuan and ten yuan in cash. The boss was dissatisfied
When we had trouble counting money, we asked the young man to scan the QR code. As a result, those people had a disagreement with the boss and started fighting. Now we have brought everyone back. We found an ID card in the bag of the leading young man.
It belongs to one of the deceased in your case."
The young police officer said and handed the ID card to Chen Bai. Chen Bai took the ID card and saw that it was the deceased Jin Kui.
"Where is this man now?"
"It's being held at the police station in our jurisdiction. You can take it away at any time."
An hour later, Chen Bai saw the boy who led the fight in the interrogation room.
"We are really destined to meet each other again in just a few days!"
Sitting opposite Chen Bai was Wang Xu, but at this time Wang Xu had a look of disdain on his face.
"Officer, why are you arresting me? It's illegal to refuse to accept RMB. You should arrest him."
"Oh? You know the law quite well? Then if you know the law so well, why didn't you reason with him just now? If you don't agree, you take action. Who do you think you are? Wang Xu, do you think the law can't control you?"
Wang Xu was startled by Chen Bai's words, but soon returned to his cynical look.
"Officer, what are you doing? Gather a crowd to fight, and you will be detained for a few months at most. Anyway, I have become a regular visitor, so I don't care."
Chen Bai smiled, lit a cigarette and looked at Wang Xu and said.
"Yes, yes, you are right, you are just gathering people to fight, it is nothing. But why is there someone else's ID card in the bag you are carrying? Your friend, then your friend is generous enough.
All the money in the bag was given to you? I tell you, the owner of this bag is dead and you are holding this bag, what do you think is going on?"
Wang Xu was stunned when he heard this, and Chen Bai saw a trace of nervousness in Wang Xu's eyes.
"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. After all, our police will not wrongly accuse a good person, but we will never let a bad person go. You must know something. If you tell me, you may be detained for a few days less."
