[If you can see flowers, you should be able to see the sun]
This was said by Balzac.
It was also a sentence left by the murderer on the paper.
Comparing handwriting is unrealistic.
Even if it is a printed sentence, everyone can find a nearby printing shop and ask, but this sentence is spliced together with countless separate fonts.
"The murderer can just buy a book, find all the words needed for this sentence in the book, cut them out one by one, and finally paste the words together with glue... Is this a tribute to those old cases in the past?"
A long time ago, technology was not very developed.
At that time, some murderers wrote kidnapping letters and asked the kidnapped people to write them themselves.
This has two advantages. One is that it allows the kidnapped family members to recognize it and prepare the ransom. The other is that if the murderer writes it himself, it is easy to find out who it is through handwriting verification, especially if it is an acquaintance who committed the crime.
Some murderers will find the words they need from scrap newspapers, cut them out one by one, and stitch them together into a letter.
"You can see the flowers... Is the murderer's next target a flower grower? It shouldn't be that simple. His recent messages have become more and more vague. It seems that he is just completing the habit of leaving messages."
Lu Wen sat on the stairs not far away, thinking about all the details that he might have missed.
After a while, Wei Boyan found him.
"I probably know why the deceased was not tortured this time."
He passed a piece of information to Lu Wen.
"These guys in the 15th District moved too slowly. It was impossible to count on them, so I asked the little genius to check for me and found out all the information that could be found on the deceased." Wei Boyan said.
"I must treat your little genius to a meal another day." Lu Wen responded.
"No, they are a group. They all have certain social barriers. They prefer to act online and are less able to accept offline communication with others."
Sure enough, many geniuses are flawed.
Lu Wen looked at the information. It was very detailed, almost including where to eat and pay every day.
"The deceased had a daughter who contracted cancer when she was very young, and the annual treatment costs are quite expensive."
Lu Wen suddenly understood.
That daughter was born many years ago who was supposed to be the glue that held the family together.
But cancer destroys all good things.
"After the divorce, neither party had a stable source of income. According to regulations, it was best to give the younger children to the woman, but the woman's will was not strong at the time. Lin Ziqiang fought for it and got the child back."
Lu Wen just briefly observed Lin Ziqiang's living environment.
It's very simple. It seems that he lives alone and there is no one else at home.
"Lin Ziqiang has no formal job most of the time, and his financial situation fluctuates. Taking care of a child with cancer makes him physically and mentally exhausted. According to the little genius's calculations, Lin Ziqiang's income cannot meet the child's medical expenses at all."
The little genius simply calculated Lin Ziqiang's income over the years, and then calculated the medical expenses.
Finally a result is obtained.
There are at least three hundred thousand vacancies.
For a security guard whose salary is only a few thousand yuan, this is an astronomical figure.
"But until three years ago, when his daughter died of cancer, he rarely defaulted on treatment expenses. During this period, the only time he defaulted on treatment for a long time was six years ago... "
The timing is clever.
At that time six years ago, Lin Ziqiang had already owed a large amount of medical bills, but the doctors at the hospital were pretty good and did not push him.
There are generally two types of delinquent medical bills.
One type is those who have conditional payment but deliberately want to default. For such people, the hospital has the right to sue them and take them to court.
The other kind is really unaffordable.
Faced with this, doctors will suggest them to register for some online fundraising platforms and start fundraising.
But now these platforms are gradually being taken advantage of. Many people have several apartments in their homes, drive luxury cars, and have fine clothes and fine food, and they also come to the platforms to cry out for poverty. This has happened many times, making it difficult for people to judge who is the real one. Those who really needed help, so fewer and fewer people donated.
Moreover, there may be problems with the platform itself, and the donated money may not necessarily reach the patients.
"Not long after the bank robbery, he paid all the medical bills he owed."
To be paid in cash.
There is nothing unusual about Lin Ziqiang’s account.
So after the robbery, no one suspected him.
"There are no such coincidences in the world, so we may have guessed well and it's that classic case happening again."
Lin Ziqiang gave away the security information of the entire bank, as well as its internal structure.
He personally can get a large sum of money after the thing is successful.
"Many security personnel died during that robbery. He should be responsible for that. With the character of the murderer, he would have been tortured for a long time before killing him. But this time he was killed with a knife... Is it because of the daughter who had cancer?"
Relatives... This may have touched something in the murderer's heart.
So this time he didn't choose torture.
"Did the murderer also lose a loved one because of something?" Lu Wen looked at Wei Bo'an, "Have any experienced executive officers in your tenth district lost a relative? Preferably a child, this may be the trigger for the murderer to explode. fuse."
"You're starting to doubt my district again."
"Just a simple question. After all, that guy has been in your district since the beginning, and he knows your district's executive bureau very well. He seems to know more about it than the one in the 15th district."
"There are quite a few such executive officers, but based on your description... it seems that the scope can be narrowed down."
Have military background.
Losing your own child.
I also suffered some unfair treatment.
Just these three conditions combined can narrow the scope dramatically.
"But everything is just speculation after all. Even if it is really the executive officer of your region, he has probably resigned by now, otherwise it would be impossible to move from the 10th to the 15th District."
Lu Wen looked at the time.
It's already past ten in the morning.
Over there in no man's land, the meeting is probably about to start.
Unfortunately, although he now has three bodies, none of them can go to the meeting site. He can only wait for follow-up news.
"That guy Wu Yu is going with us. Each executive bureau will allocate some manpower to protect the safety of those members who go to no man's land."
…
The wind and sand in no man's land are very gentle today.
it's clear.
It seems that God is giving opportunities to promote this negotiation.
Just after ten o'clock in the morning, both parties arrived on time.
The negotiations haven't started yet, so we need to prepare. It's the first time for many humans to come to a place like no man's land, and the bumpy road conditions have caused many people to show signs of motion sickness.
"There are two congressmen who still feel uncomfortable. Let the androids wait a little longer."
In contrast, many of the executives escorted along the way were in strong physical condition and performed normally.
The two people from the floating city were nothing.
The old congressmen in white robes, all over a hundred years old, are still in good spirits after experiencing ups and downs.
"Nowadays, these little guys are not in good health. The road conditions are just a little bad, and they keep vomiting." The old congressman sighed: "When I was young, I was only twenty years old, and I was exhausted from fighting all day long. Running from one city to another, I barely had a day’s sleep.”
The people who survived that generation were indeed physically strong.
But most of them are short-lived.
Maybe they squeezed themselves too much during those three years, so many people didn't live long.
For example, Dr. Lan He, the founder of Bilan, and Yin Long's father, Yin Mu, did not live long and passed away in the era of three generations of bionic humans.
"Young man, your name is Wu Yu, right?" The old congressman looked beside him.
As one of the best executives of the younger generation besides Xia Chuluo, Wu Yu was arranged to protect the old congressman.
It may also be because he has a great prejudice against androids, so everyone in the council believes him.
"Yes." Wu Yu nodded and said nothing more.
"My name also has the character Yu in it. My name is Gong Liang Yu, a compound surname. My family may be the only Gong Liang surname that survived after that war."
Gong Liangyu smiled, the wrinkles on his face squeezed together.
"Young man, can you tell me why you are hostile to androids?"
"Bionic people have taken away many people's jobs. They are gradually replacing lower-level humans. This should not happen. Bionic people only exist to serve humans, not to replace them."
"This is a good idea. Are you interested in coming to the Floating City and becoming a deacon?"
A deacon is actually an executive officer, but with a different title.
Here in Mowu City, the uniforms of the executive officers are all black, which makes them look more serious.
But in the Floating City, all the people with responsibilities wore white uniforms, as if they wanted to deliberately create a sense of holiness.
"The person behind you, Luo Xunfeng, is about the same age as you. He is already the Archdeacon, commanding the entire Deacon Office in the Floating City."
"Related household?" Wu Yu said bluntly.
"No, of course not." Gong Liangyu said with a smile: "Although Xunfeng is indeed the descendant of a congressman, he relied on his own strength to reach this position step by step. This young man is very ambitious and his abilities are worthy of him. Ambition, integrity, courage, and passion are the qualities that stand out in him.”
Youth means inexperience.
When a young man reaches a high position, everyone's first reaction is to rely on connections and money.
Luo Xunfeng seemed to be used to such questions. He walked forward quickly and said seriously: "There were many people who questioned me, but in the end they all fell silent. You are from the 13th District Executive Bureau. Wait until the matter here is over. After that, we can compete on the assessment items for you to become a regular employee.”
Competition... This aroused Wu Yu's interest.
He is also a competitive young man and especially likes to compare with Lu Wen.
Although reality kept reminding him that he could not compare to a machine in terms of physical strength, combat power, memory ability, etc., he was still unconvinced and kept improving himself.
"I've heard about Xia Chuluo from your district. She is Xia Zheng's daughter. In fact, I really want to meet her and see how that person's daughter is different. Unfortunately, she was injured and has been recuperating at home."
"She is just...well, she is indeed injured and cannot see guests."
Wu Yu wanted to say that it was actually just two broken ribs.
With Xia Chuluo's temperament, even if both legs were broken, he would probably install an exoskeleton device on himself and not stop at all.
However, Xia Chuluo suddenly went out of his way yesterday and actually took two months' leave.
Wu Yu thought for a while.
She definitely wouldn't waste two months at home, probably on some special mission.
You can't talk nonsense, you have to keep it secret.
"Lu Wen from your district is also very interesting. I heard that not long after he turned on his computer, he was about to become the first android councilor in the history of Mowu City. Unfortunately, he went to the 15th district and couldn't see him." Luo Xun Feng sighed.
"He should be dealing with a very difficult serial murderer."
"The reason why these androids in the no-man's land outside Mowu City dared to propose city construction and peace this time is probably because they want to take advantage of the historical moment of Lu Wen's successful election to push forward the treaty."
They were both of the same age and had somewhat similar personalities, so they started chatting quickly.
Wu Yu said something about the current situation in Mowu City.
Luo Xunfeng talked about the Central City and the Floating City.
He said that the floating city was originally a piece of land in the central city, but it was later lifted into the air with powerful help.
"Actually, there are no benefits to living high up. It's windy and you don't dare to open the windows every day. Moreover, many people are used to living high up, and they will look down on the people below."
Pride and Prejudice also exists over there in Central City.
When the floating city took off with all the science and technology, it left behind a dilapidated central city.
People living on the ground look up to the sky every day, hoping that they can get rid of this city of scrap iron and garbage and go to the legendary floating city where there is not a particle of dust.
"How can there be no dust? It's all false propaganda, just to set off the height of the floating city."
Luo Xunfeng is different from the older generation in Floating City.
Although he is proud, he is proud of his own ability and his courage to change the world, not because of his birth.
In his opinion, there was nothing to be happy about being born in the Floating City.
"The people on the ground live a very miserable life. The smell of that city is full of rot and decay, not even comparable to your Baker City in the south. Moreover, the education penetration rate of people born on the ground is quite low, and they have even begun to have problems. Few people believe that there are gods living in the sky.”
Luo Xunfeng depicts a decaying city and a group of ignorant people.
Many people live under the huge shadow cast by the floating city.
They are like reptiles in a smelly ditch, with no flowers or sun to see.
"The economic level of Mowu City is considered top-notch among the nine major cities. The urban security here is stable, and the androids in the no-man's land are weak. But even so... I also saw a lot of homeless people. " Luo Xunfeng said.
"What do you think this world should be like?" Wu Yu asked.
"There shouldn't be so many people living in poverty and numbness."
Luo Xunfeng looked into the distance.
"When I was very young, Xia Tian came to the Floating City. He said this... What we should eliminate is poverty, not the poor."
