Da Binzi was very excited when he heard what the vice principal said. As long as he knew what happened to Shan Tong when he was a child, he would be able to catch him. The smile on Chen Bai's face became even wider, but what he said next surprised him.
"Vice principal, actually it would be better if you just tell us where he is now."
The vice principal was obviously taken aback when he heard this and said immediately.
"How could I possibly know this? Shantong hasn't been back for a long time. How could I know where he is?"
Although the vice-principal concealed it well, Chen Bai still discovered the clues.
"Why are you so nervous? Even if Shan Tong really commits a crime, it has nothing to do with you, but why are you so nervous?"
After Chen Bai said this, Da Binzi also felt that something was wrong. The vice principal was indeed a little too nervous.
"I, I'm not, I'm just a little nervous when I suddenly see the police coming to my door."
"No, if you didn't do anything wrong, why are you so nervous?"
Chen Bai was now sure that the vice principal either knew where Shan Tong was or had seen Shan Tong recently.
"Failure to report information is a very serious crime. As the vice-principal, you have to set an example for the students."
After listening to Chen Bai's words, the man finally couldn't hold himself any longer.
"Yes, I met Shan Tong recently. It was two days ago that Shan Tong suddenly came back to me, saying that he wanted to borrow some money to find his mother. I know that Shan Tong's mother disappeared a few days after he was born.
, why did Shantong suddenly want to find his mother? But Shantong has always been a good boy, so I didn’t ask any more questions after that. In addition, Shantong only borrowed a thousand yuan, so I didn’t ask any more questions.
What."
Chen Bai looked at the vice principal and confirmed that he was not lying.
"Then did he tell you where he was going?"
"No, he didn't say much and I didn't ask much."
Chen Bai nodded and then asked.
"Okay, let's continue talking about what ridiculous things Shan Tong did when he was in the second grade of junior high school?"
The vice principal took a deep breath and suddenly changed his tone.
"Actually, the truth of this matter cannot be verified now. It is also the secret of our entire village. Because Shan Tong's father no longer cares about his study and life, the child just ate hundreds of meals in the village. I remember that day
It was extremely hot. After dinner, Shantong went home to get something, and then went to class. Later, their house caught fire. Of course, his father was fine because he was drinking outside, but later people spread rumors that it was Shantong who started the fire, but
After all, there is no evidence, so the matter is settled."
On the way back, Dabinzi asked with some doubts.
"Teacher Chen, what should we do now?"
Although this trip has yielded a lot, there are actually no clear clues. Shan Tong is still outside, and I don’t know what outrageous things he will do next time.
"Let me think about it, I always feel like I've left something behind."
Chen Bai closed his eyes and meditated, the case replayed in his mind scene by scene.
"How's the situation going?"
The thing that worried Bai Hongwei the most happened. At 5 o'clock in the morning this morning, a fire broke out in the second dormitory of Anyang Chemical Plant. This time, when firefighters put out the fire, they pulled out three bodies.
"The fire has been extinguished, but I suggest you wait. There is a risk of the fire re-igniting at any time. It is better for us to go in first and inspect it carefully."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Kong Bingxuan looked at the three corpses on the ground and punched the police car next to them.
"Captain, look at the current situation. It's all because Chen Bai didn't let us arrest people. If we had arrested people as soon as we got the evidence, we wouldn't have ended up like this."
Bai Hongwei didn't say anything, but what he was more worried about was that if the fire was really caused by Shan Tong, what would he do next, and whether each time would be more excessive than the last.
"Captain, I really don't understand why you have to listen to Chen Bai. He is not a policeman at all. What can a blabbermouth man know? In his eyes, everything can be guessed, but now the dead
Even if he guesses wrong, he won't feel any guilt in his heart."
"Okay, are you done yet? What have you done from the beginning of the case to now? It was him who helped us find the murderer. Without him, the first two fires could only be handled by accident. Before talking about others, think about what you have done."
Kong Bingxuan became really angry when he saw Bai Hongwei, lowered his head and stopped talking.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?"
"I can only tell you now that these three people were burned to death. I will tell you the rest after I go back. However, according to my preliminary autopsy, there are no other external injuries on these three people, so there is no possibility that they were beaten.
Stun them or beat them to death and then burn their bodies."
At eight o'clock in the morning, the firefighters finally cleared the scene. Bai Hongwei and others entered the scene. The fire was in the dormitory on the third floor, but after observing the scene, they found nothing.
"What do you think?"
Bai Hongwei looked at the fire chief behind him and asked. After these several contacts, they gradually became familiar with each other.
"The cause of the fire was very simple. There was mosquito coil on the window sill, and the wind from the air conditioner blew up the curtains. The cotton curtains were ignited by the mosquito coil, causing a fire. Several people in the dormitory were sleeping soundly, and no one realized that there was a fire. When they were discovered
It’s too late.”
Bai Hongwei frowned. Judging from the scene, this was indeed the case, but he knew that this was probably done by Shan Tong again.
"What's going on?"
Chen Bai's voice sounded from behind. Bai Hongwei turned his head and saw Chen Bai coming, and quickly waved Chen Bai in.
"Okay, I already know where to find Shan Tong."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he put on his gloves and began to survey the scene.
"No, this is not an accident, this is man-made."
Chen Bai picked up the mosquito coil tray on the ground, looked at the marks on the window sill, and then looked at the marks around the window sill.
"This is just a simple ignition device. Place the mosquito coil plate here and then put a match on the mosquito coil. The curtain here is very long. Then the curtain is placed in the position of the match. When the mosquito coil burns here, the match will be ignited. The match
It will set the curtains on fire."
Chen Bai stood up, clapped his hands and asked.
"Go and check the surveillance here. This device is not very clever, but the person who arranged it must be an outsider."
"An outsider? Can he install such a device in the dormitory?"
Kong Bingxuan finally got a chance to speak, but Chen Bai smiled and said.
"It's very simple. If it was really someone in this room who did it, then everyone in this room wouldn't be dead."
But when everyone returned to the office, Kong Bingxuan still asked with some disdain.
"So what if you can see the scene? Can you find where Shan Tong is? You didn't let us arrest him, and now he has committed another case. You tell me what to do now!"
Chen Bai smiled and took out a file bag from his body.
"According to my investigation, Shan Tong's mother disappeared after giving birth to Shan Tong, but after my investigation, I have found out the identity of this woman."
With that said, Chen Bai took out a stack of information from the portfolio.
"Chen Fang was born in 1966. After graduating from elementary school, he wandered around the society and later became a marriage fraud. Now this woman is in Binhai City, and I have already led people to arrest her. Shan Tong's final goal must be to
He wants to kill his mother to take revenge."
On the other side, a man wearing a hat and mask was hiding behind a telephone pole. The man was carrying a bag with a malicious look in his eyes.
"Fire can purify everything, let me end the evil in this world!"
After the man finished speaking, he slowly walked towards the apartment in the distance.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Who?"
"express delivery!"
The moment the door was opened, the man raised the electric baton in his hand, but the next second he was kicked out.
"superior!"
In the distance, Bai Hongwei and others watched Shan Tong being escorted out, and couldn't help but admire Chen Bai in their hearts. Chen Bai really caught Shan Tong with his criminal mentality.
"Take him back first, let's go get something to eat! We haven't had a good meal in so many days. To be honest, I'm going to vomit after eating instant noodles these days. I've never eaten so much instant noodles in my life.
.”
Chen Bai started the car, and the three people in the car fell silent. After searching for evidence for a long time, nothing was as good as Chen Bai's reasoning.
"you...."
"I want to ask how I knew about Shan Tong's actions?"
Chen Bai opened the car window, took out a cigarette and lit it. The smoke floated out of the car window, and Bai Hongwei nodded.
"Actually, it's very simple. Serial murderers have three characteristics: arson, bedwetting, and animal cruelty. I found out a lot of things during my trip to Jiangbei. Shan Tong's house had a fire when he was a child. I believe this is not a coincidence. Although Shan Tong's family
The house has been sold to someone else, but I can see that the traces of the fire are still there, and the fire was not small. Home is originally the warmest harbor, but for Shantong, home is hell. In Shantong's home, there are many paintings
.Although the paintings are messy, if you look carefully, you will see that Shan Tong painted the scenes of his three arson cases. The painting in the middle of his house shows a woman tied to a cross and being burned, and that woman is Shan Tong.
With my own mother.”
It was already evening when everyone returned to the police station after dinner. Shan Tong was locked on a chair in the interrogation room. When Chen Bai and Bai Hongwei entered, Shan Tong was already waiting impatiently.
"What? You finally couldn't bear it anymore?"
Unexpectedly, before Chen Bai and Bai Hongwei spoke, Shan Tong actually spoke first.
"We can't help it? With the evidence we have now, even if you don't speak, we can still convict you."
Shan Tong smiled disdainfully, as if he didn't care about this kind of thing at all.
"You are wrong. I am righteous. I punish the evil in this world. But if you catch me, the world will soon be filled with evil again."
Chen Bai smiled and took out a photo from the portfolio.
"No matter how you deny it, this woman is your mother. I know you only hate your mother, but this woman is your mother anyway. She is also in the police station now. If you need me, I can arrange for you to meet.
"
"No, she is not my mother, she does not deserve it."
Shan Tong suddenly became very excited. Chen Bai smiled and knew that Shan Tong could no longer calm down.
