"I am an only child, a minor, I have just finished the college entrance examination, I am sensible and filial, and I have just passed one-fifth of my life." Chen Jie lamented: "Even if you are extremely angry, you don't need to kill people. If you have unresolved conflicts, you can call the police and let a third party intervene in mediation.
Isn’t it better?”
Ji Chengling: "Emotions can make people lose their minds."
Chen Jie: "The only contradiction I can imagine is charging dozens of dollars more for the fare."
Ji Chengling: "You have misjudged the greed of unscrupulous drivers. Some unscrupulous cars have just collected hundreds or even thousands of fares. Their ability to choose what is right for them cannot be underestimated, and they especially like to form cliques."
Chen Jie: "I read in the investigation report that Ge Xiangdi's teachers and classmates all said that he had excellent grades, was cheerful and helpful. Besides, he was only seventeen years old. A minor with a good reputation would blackmail passengers?
The extortion amount was so high that it motivated the murderer to kill him? I don’t think it’s a money dispute. Even if there is a money dispute, it’s not necessarily Ge Xiangdi.”
Ji Chengling: "You mean that Ge Xiangdi might be implicated because of the money dispute between others and the murderer? Do you think there was a dispute between Ge's father and the murderer, and the murderer sought revenge and killed Ge Xiangdi to avenge Ge's father? Is this premeditated?
Killing does not meet the characteristics of killing with passion and without motive."
Chen Jie put forward the hypothesis: "Perhaps the murderer was a regular customer. He was chatting with Ge Xiangdi, during which he was verbally stimulated by Ge Xiangdi. He himself had conflicts with Ge's father, so he strangled Ge Xiangdi to death in excitement... Otherwise, the murderer and Ge Xiangdi
What kind of contradiction can Xiang Di create? If the murderer is not an acquaintance, and they have no intersection before this car ride, then what kind of contradiction should prompt the murderer to kill a minor who has just finished the college entrance examination? If Ge Xiangdi meets Ge Xiangdi for the first time
Without extortion and overcharging, there would be no reason for him to quarrel with the murderer and provoke the murderer. If the above guesses are correct, should the murderer's murder behavior and motive be recharacterized?"
Ji Chengling thought carefully about Chen Jie's reasoning.
Lao Zeng knocked on the table with a pen and said: "It's not impossible. Before the murder case is resolved, any possibility exists. Who will inform Ge Xiangdi's parents today?"
Someone raised their hand: "Me." The young detective walked out and said: "Ge Xiangdi's parents are at the forensic office. After seeing Ge Xiangdi's body, they were overly sad and emotionally collapsed, so they were unable to conduct questioning. But Team Li
Over there, I'm accompanying Ge Xiangdi's parents."
Chen Jie was surprised: "Isn't the boss the most difficult to deal with the family members of the deceased? Is it raining red?"
Lao Zeng thought about it and said, "Maybe you guessed it right." Even Chen Jie noticed the problem, how could Li Zan not notice it?
The branch specially divided a piece of land and moved it out to use as a forensic office. It is characterized by a large area and sparsely populated areas. It is dark and cold. It faces south and faces north and has no light all year round. In broad daylight, the lights have to be turned on when the sun is shining.
The lights are cold light lamps, the walls are white gray, and the floor is reflective cold white bricks. The forensic office combined with each small element becomes a hospital ‘morgue’.
However, when a case occurs or an academic seminar is held, the Forensic Office becomes less gloomy due to the large number of people.
This time is an exception. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is setting a bit in the west, and the cold light indoors and in the corridor are half turned on. There is not enough light, and it looks cold and gloomy.
Weeping could still be heard faintly in the long corridor, and from time to time there was a sharp, prolonged cry that penetrated the long corridor and was isolated by layers of white walls.
There is also a small hall in the forensic office, where family members who need to be questioned after the identification of the body are waiting.
The small hall that had been quiet for a while suddenly erupted into roars. The woman's sharp cry and the man's uncontrollable roar of pain merged and swirled together, like a flood of water pouring over the sky and covering the earth.
To people who don't know what's going on, it's just noise, but to the people involved, it's their ultimate vent.
Zhong Xueru glanced at Li Zan, who had no expression on his face. The other person had been facing Ge Xiangdi's parents who were constantly venting their sadness, but he didn't escape. He actually sat with Ge Xiangdi's parents for nearly an hour!
Li Zan kicked the legs of Zhong Xueru's chair and said, "Bring a pack of tissues over here."
Only then did Zhong Xueru realize that the tissues on the table were gone, and the carton containing the tissues was behind him.
He hurriedly replenished the supplies and tried to comfort him in vain: "Please have my condolences."
Ge Hong held back his grief and lowered his head habitually. His temples were gray, and his shoulders seemed to be weighed down by a heavy mountain. It was so heavy that he could not support his back, curled up, and hunched his thin back.
He kept saying mechanically: "Thank you, thank you, comrade police, for troubling you. I'm sorry for causing you trouble, I'm sorry, thank you, thank you." At this point, Ge Hong was stunned, as if the scene suddenly broke, no.
He knew what he should do next. After a while, he suddenly remembered what he should say. He asked: "Comrade police, why was my son killed?"
Ge Hong asked carefully and gently: "Why were they killed? Why? Did we do something wrong? My son is very good. He knows that we work hard. He helps with housework every time he comes home from school. He doesn't dislike us either.
He was poor, and said that he was working as a student in college to help lighten the burden on his family -" He spoke a little faster, and soon realized that he was afraid that his eagerness would cause discomfort to others, so he lowered his voice: "It is impossible for my son to be with me.
It’s true that he is a very well-behaved person. I don’t know why that person wanted to kill him. If he has a grudge against me, he can come to me, so why did he kill my son?”
Zhong Xueru: "Calm down, calm down. Regarding Ge Xiangdi's murder case, the police are still screening it. You wait for the news first. We will notify you as soon as possible when the results of the case come out. Now, we hope that you two can cooperate with the police.
investigation."
Ge Hong: "You ask."
Zhong Xueru looked at Li Zan, who hesitated, rubbed his thumb and index finger unconsciously, and said amidst Ge Xiangdi's mother's faint sobs and Ge Hong's anxious eyes: "You haven't made any enmity with anyone?"
Ge Hong shook his head: "No."
Li Zan: "Have you had any quarrels with others recently?"
Ge Hong racked his brains to recall, as carefully and laboriously as picking sesame seeds in a pile of gravel.
"...No. I didn't quarrel with others. I don't dare to charge too much when doing business in this kind of car. For the same road, I charge half less than a regular taxi. When I encounter someone checking the car, I don't dare to run away.
, but I will send the passengers near the bus station and refund the money. How can I make enemies if I do this? How can I make enemies?"
Li Zan was silent for a moment and looked at Xiangmei, Ge Xiangdi's mother.
Xiangmei shook her hand, took several deep breaths, swallowed saliva and felt intense fatigue, her voice was hoarse, and she whined almost as soon as she opened her mouth. She looked to be in her fifties, very thin, with simple clothes, dull color, and dyed hair.
The grape red color that many middle-aged women like is now scattered on their cheeks, looking embarrassed and desolate.
"I... didn't, no, I didn't quarrel with anyone." After taking a few deep breaths, Xiang Mei could barely speak a long sentence, "I have worked in the factory for more than ten years, and I am familiar with my colleagues in the factory, and we are
Most of them are neighbors. Even if there have been quarrels, there is no deep hatred for killing my son. They watched my son grow up. How can there be such deep hatred? "
With his nails poking at the pad of his index finger, Li Zan asked Ge Hong: "Where do you usually get your customers? Which district do you visit most often? What time do you usually pick up customers? Are there many repeat customers?"
Ge Hong nodded: "There are many repeat customers. My customer base is actually very fixed. Because I am trustworthy and charge less money, I will not charge more suddenly. I usually travel in Dongcheng and Beitian districts, and occasionally visit neighboring cities.
The order is at 8 o'clock, from 8 pm to 8 am. There are fewer people at this time and there will be no traffic checks. Sometimes when I meet the traffic police, they are probably checking for drunk driving. I tell them that I am dropping off friends or relatives, and I can usually get through.
.In addition to regular customers, we also intercept customers on the roadside, and sometimes we take the initiative to solicit customers on the roadside. Sometimes we are introduced by repeat customers, that’s all.”
"That's right!" Ge Hong suddenly remembered something, pounded the table and said: "My son called me last night. He said he received an order to go to the beach. It was 1 o'clock in the morning. Xiang Di, he stayed up
For several days, I was not in good spirits during the day. I originally wanted to call him back and stop work for a day, but he said that this passenger was in a hurry, so he was generous and took the initiative to call and introduce him to an acquaintance, so I... I let him rest assured.
went."
Ge Hong regretfully pulled his hair and slapped himself twice, blaming himself for not insisting on letting his son go home.
"Did Ge Xiangdi say who introduced him?"
"Didn't mention it. He didn't mention it."
Xiang Mei hurriedly said: "Mobile phone! The murderer has contacted my son! Comrade police, check my son's mobile phone and you can find the mobile phone number——"
"Ge Xiangdi's mobile phone and ID card are gone." Li Zan said regretfully.
He frowned and was speechless.
Li Zan asked Ge Hong: "Do you have the contact information of repeat customers?"
Ge Hong: "Yes. I have phone book records."
Li Zan: "Give it all to me."
Ge Hong nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go home and get it now." After saying that, he pulled Xiang Mei and left the forensic office.
Li Zan didn't even say anything to advise him not to rush, because for Ge Hong and his wife, finding the murderer to avenge their son has become their mainstay.
Zhong Xueru: "Get the phone book records and call them back one by one?"
"It's a way to solve the case."
"Indeed. But if the murderer is lying, he did not find Ge Xiangdi through the introduction of an acquaintance, but took the initiative and had planned it for a long time. There is no obvious motive for the crime, no strong contradiction, the money in the car is still there, and the murderer killed Ge Xiangdi
It is unlikely to be a dispute over money. Ge Hong is an honest man and his prices are fair. Under his influence, Ge Xiangdi would not charge more money, and from the description, the murderer was in a hurry and paid more money."
All this shows that the murderer did not kill Ge Xiangdi because of a money dispute. The last phone call between Ge Xiangdi and Ge Hong also showed that he did not know the murderer, so he had no grudge against the murderer.
Neither Ge Hong nor Xiang Mei has any enmity with anyone, so vendetta can be ruled out.
Zhong Xueru said in a hissing voice as if his tongue was burnt: "It's not good to push it on like this. If it was premeditated for a long time, the previous inference of passion killing is untenable, so it has to be pushed away. It's not about love, hatred and wealth.
There was no motive for the murder, and he chose to kill Ge Xiangdi in a conspicuous area where he could be seen at any time in a residential area. It seemed that he was seeking excitement and killed Ge Xiangdi to satisfy a certain psychology."
"Ge Xiangdi was not the first, nor would he be the only victim." Li Zan said: "The murderer's method of committing the crime was still very clumsy, but he did not hesitate when he killed Ge Xiangdi, and he did not loosen his strength, so in
Before Ge Xiangdi, the murderer may have committed a failed murder."
Li Zan stood up and said, "Let's see if anyone in each district has reported the crime."
The autopsy results have come out, and there will be nothing more to do with Zhong Xueru. He sends Li Zan off in person, sighs heavily, and returns to the office.
***
Criminal Investigation Office.
The trace inspection is talking: "The hotel check-in records and monitoring records have been retrieved. After excluding guests with schedule conflicts, the remaining list is here. This list is quite special. They are all participants of a beach wedding, including the groom.
, the bride, her relatives and friends, as well as the wedding company team and makeup artist team, the list includes hundreds of people."
"The hotel's surveillance investigation revealed that some of them checked in at noon during the day, went to the beach at six o'clock in the evening, and continued playing until they returned to the hotel at four o'clock in the morning."
Ji Chengling felt a headache: "The hotel check-in list has two to three hundred people, and it is quite difficult to check them one by one."
"There are also shared bicycle usage records, and no abnormal problems were found."
"Without the use of transportation tools, the murderer couldn't have traveled nearly an hour to the last stop. He probably went to the seaside at the next stop. Could the murderer be among the guests of the seaside hotel?"
"What if you are a hotel or beach employee? There is a huge flow of people on the beach. Yesterday was Friday and today is Saturday. There are at least tens of thousands of people flowing in and out. There is no surveillance in the triangle area, and the street surveillance is broken. There are no buses at that time.
There is no one, there is literally nowhere to start." Old Zeng asked other detectives: "Are there any residents who may have seen the murderer? Or heard a noise?"
A criminal policeman said: "Yes. A resident said that when he was sleeping in a daze, he heard a little noise downstairs and thought someone was playing with the car. Then he went to the balcony and took a look. It was very quiet inside the car. It was far away.
I saw a figure walking out on the street. He described her as a girl with long hair, a tall and slender figure, and thin and white legs... This comrade said that he paid special attention to the legs because the girl's lower body was in an ultra-short pleated skirt and her upper body was light.
Wearing a pink long-sleeved cardigan and a pair of sneakers, she looks very pure and beautiful.”
Lao Zeng leaned forward and asked quickly: "Have you seen the front face?"
The detective shook his head.
Lao Zeng raised his index finger and looked for a pen everywhere: "Describe carefully, what kind of skirt, clothes, and sneakers are they are, what kind they are, and if the resident sees the girl's back again, will he be able to recognize her?"
