I took a cursory glance and found that I knew the handwriting on the note, not to mention familiar, but definitely not unfamiliar. My heart was beating fast, and it reminded me of the strange excitement of cheating and peeking at the note in elementary school. Xiao Liu's attention was all on the document, and he didn't notice me.
Xiao Liu said: "Wu Meng, my analysis is like this. I think the murderer should have multiple people, at least a man and a woman. From the analysis of the time when the murderer committed the crime, the two cases overlap. Partially. If it is a murderer, I think he should concentrate on completing one murder case and then turn to kill another."
Although I was very curious about what was written on this note, I also understood that solving this case is the most important thing now. But I don't agree with Xiao Liu's point of view, the murderer is multi-person. It was different from the way of imitating the murderer encountered in Tougouzi Village before. Judging from this person's way of committing the crime, if it wasn't for the murderer with a twisted mind, he really couldn't do it.
Killing people is not an easy task, especially to do this level of killing.
Although the two cases overlapped in time, they did not overlap at key points in time, such as the time of murder. In other words, after the murderer killed someone, he could calmly go to the second location to ambush and kill someone. But this also shows that there may be dead people, but the murderer didn't "tell" us, and we don't know it.
"What do you think we should do?" Xiao Liu looked at me with a puzzled face.
I remembered what Gu Chen told me before, there must be something that Xiao Liu couldn't understand, so he told us the clues, hoping that we could help him find something useful. For this position, in fact, I belong to dispensable.
I said to Xiao Liu: "Now we can basically conclude that the murderer is less than 1.7 meters tall, likes to wear black clothes, and has a withdrawn personality..."
When I said this, I shut my mouth. Because I began to realize that there is no way for me to use any accurate words to summarize the character of this murderer. The murderer is withdrawn without being withdrawn, the murderer is fanatical without being fanatical. A murderer can be calm like a cheetah waiting for its prey, or like an impulsive tiger.
It seems that there are many murderers.
I said to Xiao Liu: "The murderer doesn't seem to be a random murderer. There must be a connection between the dead. Starting from this point is our main breakthrough now. Judging from the traces left by the murderer, there must be a deep meaning." I think, it is nothing more than starting from several aspects, such as the deceased's occupational status, the deceased's family relationship background, the deceased's residence, the deceased's interpersonal relationship, etc. Once you can find common ground, you will be able to find the next One victim. Eighty percent of the serial killers in the world have their own methods and standards for choosing their victims."
"Not everyone can be selected." I looked at Xiao Liu and said.
Xiao Liu nodded, we were silent for a moment, and then Xiao Liu said slowly: "Wu Meng, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" I asked.
Xiao Liu looked outside the meeting room, everyone outside was busy with their own affairs, and there were only two of us in the meeting room. Seeing that no one paid attention to the two of us, Xiao Liu felt relieved and said, "Wu Meng, you also know why Lao Bai attaches importance to this case this time?"
"Because it can be seen at a glance that this is a serial murder case." I said casually.
However, Xiao Liu shook his head, and then said: "This case is not very influential. You should be able to see that the murderer is relatively restrained in his actions. In a big city like Dongxing, people die every day. The reason why Lao Bai let our two groups compete is because he favors group leader Shao..."
"That's natural." I said, "After all, when Lao Bai was the vice-deputy, Team Leader Shao worked under him. You're used to it."
Xiao Liu said: "But as for Team Leader Shao, he's used to being casual. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to investigate Zhao Mingkun's affairs, he would have resigned a long time ago. By then, the group of people under him will all be jobless. Homeless, otherwise you have to start working with others again, and you will naturally be excluded, you know?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't care about these things. It doesn't make any difference to me whether I have a salary or not. What do you want to tell me?"
Xiao Liu looked at me, a little hesitant, but in the end, Xiao Liu still said: "Sometimes I envy people with your personality, it seems that you don't eat fireworks, but I'm just a layman, I can't be like you. great."
I frowned.
Xiao Liu said slowly: "Wu Meng, I know that I am definitely not as good as you in investigating the case. No matter how hard I try to investigate and search, I am not as good as you at the scene of the crime and analyze it after the first glance. What happened. This is your talent, and I can't catch up no matter how hard I try."
"So I beg you." Xiao Liu's voice was a little trembling and hurried: "If you finally investigate the murderer, can you let me be the one who solves the mystery? In this way, we will continue to stay in Dongxing City, just There will be a better future and development. But if we fail, we will leave Dongxing City with Team Leader Li and go to a small city. Maybe we will never be able to get promoted... "
"Just think of you helping me once." Xiao Liu pleaded, "What do you think?"
Looking at Xiao Liu's appearance, I don't know what kind of feeling I feel in my heart, I have an indescribable feeling of loss. It seems that the little Liu in front of me is very strange. I still remember the smiling little Liu who buys lottery tickets every day, which is in stark contrast to the serious and inexplicable little Liu now.
After a while, I said, "If I'm the first to find the murderer, I'll tell you."
Xiao Liu was obviously relieved, and when he raised his head, there were smiles in his eyes: "Wu Meng, thank you so much. I like this job, but if it can bring me a better life at the same time, and give my family In a more affluent environment, there is nothing wrong with doing so."
Perhaps it is appropriate for me to say this sentence, but Xiao Liu said it this time, I am afraid it is comforting himself.
But as long as the murderer can be caught, it doesn't matter who caught it.
What I am more concerned about at the moment is the note in my hand.
In fact, I have only seen this person's handwriting once. The handwriting on this note is not someone else's, but Zhao Mingkun's handwriting.
"At midnight, see you outside the mental hospital."
Before, I just took a quick glance and only saw a few words, but now I turned it out, only to find that it was a note for me. I thought of the female doctor who bumped into me head-on this evening, perhaps at that time, she stuffed this note into my pocket.
I asked why there was a particularly familiar feeling before. It turned out that this person was none other than Zhao Mingkun, whom Team Leader Shao and Guan Zengbin wanted to catch. Zhao Mingkun was also too courageous, he even dared to show his face in front of Team Leader Shao, if she was not careful, she would be arrested.
At this moment, my heart is extremely entangled, and I don't know what kind of identity I should use to face Zhao Mingkun. There was a kind of excitement and a little fear in my heart, mixed together into an inexplicable excitement.
After finding Gu Chen, he only said that he had some personal things to do, so he drove to the mental hospital.
It was already midnight at this moment, and the location of the mental hospital was not considered remote, so I found a parking space and parked the car, and then walked towards the mental hospital. After walking halfway, I saw a woman standing there under the street lamp. The woman was wearing a nurse's uniform and was leaning against a telephone pole to smoke at the moment.
The short hair could not hide the woman's beauty, she exhaled a faint smoke ring, and turned her head to look at me.
"Zhao Mingkun." I stood in the distance and said softly.
Zhao Mingkun nodded and threw the cigarette butt on the ground.
The two of us asked almost at the same time, "What are you doing here?"
After all, we both smiled at the same time.
I said, "You are the woman today? What are you doing in the mental hospital? See that old man?"
Zhao Mingkun was still leaning on the telegraph pole, looking at me condescendingly: "Wu Meng, you're pretty smart."
I shrugged and said, "After seeing that note, I knew that the woman in the mental hospital was very familiar to me. I never knew who it was. Now that I think about it, the feeling on that person is You used to give me the feeling. It’s just that I don’t know what you were doing there.”
Zhao Mingkun didn't speak, but stood up straight, and walked in front of me. She was only a little shorter than me, but now she was wearing high heels, and she was actually a bit taller than me.
She said lightly: "Wu Meng, since you know what I do and I know what you do, do you think I can still let you go?"
Zhao Mingkun's expression was indifferent.
