With the recent discovery, after being reported by the serious crime team, the city bureau police expanded the search area and checked the abandoned cars in the whole city one by one. What the police did not expect was that they found more than that in the scrap car, there were also some drugs, illegal wild animals and so on.

There are few surveillance cameras next to those abandoned cars, and they are highly secretive. They can be opened as long as you get the car key, without the need for physical joints. It is much safer to trade than the lockers in public places.

Some urban scrap cars have long been used by some lawbreakers as express cabinets, forming a complete chain of underground black markets.

With this evidence, Huadu will centrally dispose of urban waste cars and uproot the entire underground black market.

Lu Junchi has been very busy these days. While he needs to cooperate with other departments to continue investigating the black market of scrap cars, he is also following up on the progress of the dismemberment case.

Judging by the traces of coffee powder in the broken fingers and the age and gender of the victims, the police began to focus their investigations on the clerks of some coffee shops.

The identities of the victims have been confirmed.

The three victims were all former service staff in a coffee shop and lived alone in a low-cost rental house before disappearing. They all used their mobile phones to send text messages to the store manager that their family members were seriously ill and applied for resignation.

Among the lower-level workers, there is a lot of mobility, and such resignations through information are not uncommon.

Most of the store managers are angry when they encounter this kind of thing. They need to find a new person to work on the top of the shift immediately. Usually, after making a phone call and finding that the other party is turned off or hung up, they will not continue to ask.

Low age, low education, low income, living alone, most of them are foreigners, and they are highly mobile. Such characteristics of victims have caused no or few missing persons to report to the police.

So after the three girls disappeared, only one coffee shop chose to report the disappearance later. One of the victim's family made a missing report at the local city bureau after the girl could not be contacted. Another girl has been missing for several months without being asked. Even the landlord where she rented directly packed up and rented it to other people before the lease term expired.

When the serious crime team investigated and asked why they didn't call the police, the other party said confidently: "I received a text message from her that she was returning home in an emergency. Who knows if it is true or false?"

Since the first two cases had been around for a while, and there were not many clues left, Lu Junchi began to investigate the third case.

The owner of that hand is named Tong Xiao, a clerk in the western district of a chain coffee shop in Huadu. She is 24 years old this year. She didn't go to work a month ago.

On the fifth day after the discovery of the stump, Lu Jun came to the coffee shop late to conduct an on-the-spot investigation to understand the situation and to call for monitoring.

The members of the serious crime team judged that the murderer was likely to have visited this coffee shop in advance, and also observed Tong Xiao here. Monitoring is installed in the coffee shop, but the monitoring data is huge, and it is unknown when the murderer visited.

The store manager cooperated to export a few G surveillance videos, and Qiao Ze held the notebook and found a table in the corner to quickly browse. Other detectives were assigned different tasks, some to collect evidence, some to conduct inquiries.

The case seems to have made great progress, but the investigation is still not smooth, especially the multiple suspects, which has led the whole case into a fog.

Lu Junchi was thinking about what to do next when he looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the coffee shop and saw a familiar figure.

It's that teacher Su - Su Hui.

At this moment, Su Hui was standing on the opposite side of the road. He seemed to be thinking about crossing the road. The traffic was surging. He looked forward, but was a little confused...

Su Hui looked at the street in front of him, and suddenly he felt that everything around him became unfamiliar.

Su Hui vaguely knew that he wanted to go to the opposite side, but he couldn't remember what to do.

The sound around him gradually receded like a tide. He stepped out, and his footsteps felt a little floating. He felt that the whole person was suspended in the water.

There was a trumpet in the ear, but the sound was not real, like a layer of water or a layer of ice.

Then Su Hui felt that he was pulled by someone and took him back to the side of the road. His wrist was so painful that he suddenly touched someone's body and felt a touch of warmth.

A car passed him at a fast speed. Su Hui realized that if he stood in the place just now, he would have been hit by the car.

Su turned to look at the person who pulled him away, it was Lu Junchi.

It's really fate.

Su Hui smiled bitterly: "Thank you, I just..." He paused, thinking about how he should explain to ordinary people that he suddenly lost his way in a familiar street, and then he said, "I just lost my mind."

Lu Junchi was still a little frightened, but he couldn't read the fear on Su Hui's face, only indifferent as always. He said, "No thanks, but you'd better be more careful next time."

Lu Jun thought for a while, he wouldn't always appear by Su Hui's side so coincidentally, what should he do next time he is alone in danger

Su Hui followed Lu Junchi across the road, Lu Junchi turned around and asked him, "Where is Teacher Su going?"

Su Hui recalled and determined what he was out for. He pointed to the coffee shop: "I live nearby and come here for lunch."

Today is the weekend, there are no classes, and the food reserves at home have been exhausted. He was so hungry that he could not bear it, so he changed his clothes and came out.

Lu Junchi checked the time. It was after two o'clock in the afternoon. It seemed that this teacher Su didn't like to eat on time. He explained, "I was investigating the case here, and I happened to see you."

"What a coincidence." Su Hui said and entered the coffee shop. He looked at the blurred figures inside.

It's a bit embarrassing to come to the cafe at this time. It's obviously late for lunch, but a little early for afternoon tea.

There were not many people in the store, but a few of them, although wearing casual clothes but with straight backs, were obviously professionally trained detectives.

Su Hui held the cane in his hand: "Or the case of the stump last time?"

Lu Jun nodded slowly: "A waiter here is one of the victims."

Su Hui asked, "All the victims were the salespersons of the coffee shop?"

Lu Junchi: "That's what we know so far."

Su replied: "Unfortunately."

The average coffee shop clerks are young girls, and most of them are foreigners. Many of them come from poor rural areas and live alone in cities. They don't have any friends or relatives here, they don't like people, and no one cares about how they are doing. They are as small as a grain of sand.

Lu Junchi added: "According to your last suggestion, we searched several other scrap cars and found many traces on them, but there is a strange thing. On the three cars, the traces we obtained are not the same. Not of the same person."

Su Hui hummed and listened sideways. His face was still indifferent, and there was no expression. It seemed that everything was within his expectations.

Lu Junchi said politely, "Mr. Su's suggestion was very helpful to us last time. In order to express our gratitude, I will invite you to dinner today."

Su Hui didn't refuse. He went straight to the menu. Without looking up, he ordered a few dishes from memory. Lu Junchi took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to pay.

Soon it was Su Hui's turn, and Lu Junchi took the initiative to help him bring the food.

Su replied with a thank you.

Su Hui sat in the corner of the restaurant, put down his cane, and Lu Junchi sat opposite him: "Mr. Su, you often eat here, have you seen any suspicious people?"

Su Hui shook his head in a hoarse voice: "I only come here occasionally, about two or three times a month. When I eat, I don't observe anyone nearby." He used a fork to pick up a piece of beef, "I usually watch people It's too face-to-face, I guess... even the victim can't recognize it."

Since his eyesight was damaged, Su Hui more often relies on voice, smell and outline to judge who the other party is.

Lu Junchi watched him eat, sips casually, the food in front of him was picky, extremely picky, as if those carbohydrates were not necessary for him.

As soon as the two of them said this, Qiao Ze came over.

The air conditioner was running in the coffee shop, but he was sweating. Qiao Ze didn't know Mr. Su, he just thought that Lu Junchi was asking the customers in the coffee shop. He lowered his voice and reported: "Army, I... I have scanned the video before and after the victim disappeared a week ago, and I didn't see any suspicious single man."

Lu Jun said lately: "You copy the information first. Xiao Xia and the others have not recorded their confessions. You should check again. Did you miss some details?"

"Although I used double speed, I definitely watched it very carefully." Qiao Ze felt that he had scanned the video to the point of numbness. When he closed his eyes, he could see the layout of the coffee shop in his mind. He thought about it and asked, " Is it possible that the murderer was not observing the deceased through the coffee shop? Or outside the glass window, or somewhere else?"

Lu Junchi frowned and said, "In that case, the scope would be too large."

Su Hui, who was taking a sip on the side, heard this, and suddenly raised his head and interjected: "Why are you looking for a single man?"

Qiao Ze was at a loss for words, and looked at Lu Junchi, as if asking for advice, whether he could say it.

Lu Junchi introduced: "This is Mr. Su from the Chinese Police Crime Academy."

Qiao Ze knew that he was not an outsider, so he dared to discuss the case. He put his hand on the table and said, "We infer that the criminal may have come here to observe the victim before..."

Su Hui wiped the corners of his lips with a tissue and said, "Obviously the murderer is an organized crime, and every prey is carefully selected. He may have been to this coffee shop more than once, and he may have followed the victim to confirm that he lives alone. Just started."

Qiao Ze nodded: "Team Lu also deduced this before. But I searched the surveillance for a long time and couldn't find that person." He suddenly thought of something and frowned, "Combined with the many people found in the car before. Information, could this be a multi-person gang?"

Su Hui shook his head: "Although the traces on the car belong to multiple people, the murderer should be the same person, but I guess he may not look like a man."

"It doesn't look like a man... Could it be like a woman?" Qiao Ze frowned more and more deeply.

Lu Junchi was also a little unclear, so he looked up at Su Hui.

Su Hui continued to point out: "I think the suspect may have done a disguise and made himself a woman."

Both Lu Junchi and Qiao Ze were silent for a while.

Afraid of causing misunderstandings, Su Hui explained again: "He did not deny his inherent gender, he has a strong desire to wear clothes of the opposite sex, his self-recognition is still male, and his hobby is still female. He just hopes that he Seems like a woman, enjoying the thrill of the act. He's probably sitting in the corner and hasn't spoken to anyone since he ordered."

A well-dressed man with female makeup is easy to be regarded as a woman in the vague surveillance, but if you look closely, he must be different from ordinary women.

Qiao Ze recalled the surveillance video he had just watched, and suddenly said: "I seem to have seen such a person on the surveillance camera, Army Corps, wait, I'll check." Qiao Ze got new clues, Excited to run away.

Lu Junchi turned his head and looked at Su Hui in surprise. If the last time he pointed out other vehicles was a coincidence, the inference in front of him would make him feel curious and mysterious.

Su Hui is definitely a person with deep research on criminal history, criminology, and even criminal psychology.

But the last time they met, why did Su Hui say that

Lu Junchi asked, "Mr. Su, where did you judge that the murderer might be someone who likes women's clothing?"

Su replied: "I'm not sure at the moment, I can only let you check it out. According to research and investigations, there will be a lot of intersection between transvestites and fetishes, which is a typical sexual disorder. Coupled with the case The murderer's carefulness in the details is an unavoidable direction of investigation."

Lu Junchi continued to ask tentatively, "Mr. Su, what other characteristics do you think this prisoner has?"

Su Hui used the knife and fork in his hand to pick and choose the food in front of him, and did not continue to give him any pointers: "I just thought of that by accident while listening to the description of the little policeman just now."

Lu Junchi was like a diligent and questioning student. He grasped the question or asked the question to the bottom of it, and persevered.

He heard the concerns in Su Hui's words: "Mr. Su, I remember what you said, I don't take these as profiles or inferences, and I won't take partiality, I just want to know more about this. Perverted madman, I hope to catch him sooner."

Su Hui was silent for a moment, and then he said, "Captain Lu, how much do you know about human body preferences?"

Lu Junchi had heard the poet tell him something before, and he knew that some people were born different.

Su Hui raised his hazy and beautiful eyes to look at him: "We often say that there are as many criminals as there are criminals. But at the same time, there are as many hobbies as there are people in the world."

"The human body is like the grace of the creator, and some of us are obsessed with certain parts of the body."

"Some people like hands, some people like feet, some people like faces. Some people like gender characteristics, such as Adam's apple, a woman's soft waist, and some people like shoulders, ears and other strange parts. Ordinary people can't understand When you do, you will feel that those outliers are perverts.”

"In fact, they themselves don't know the reason. They can't control themselves. Just thinking about it in their minds makes them very happy. They want to get them, they can't help but fantasize about them, and they can't help but want to possess them."

Su Hui paused for a while when he said this, clenched his fists and covered his lips and coughed a few times. His complexion was that cold white, but because of this cough, a little bit of blood was shaken. Then he raised his head to look at Lu Junchi, and said seriously, "This kind of love is closely related to desire."

Su Hui's expression was indifferent, as if he was discussing with Lu Junchi whether the food in front of him was delicious or not.

Lu Junchi sat opposite him and looked at him up close. The teacher in front of him was pale, with a handsome face and thin body. He looked abstinent, upright, and his words were obscure enough, but it made people feel evil in an instant.

Lu Junchi suddenly remembered Lu Haochu's description of Su Hui before, and couldn't help but squinted slightly.

Su Hui continued to analyze: "The proportion of men in this group is higher than that of women. Some of them have reached the level of morbid obsession. When they see a pair of hands, they will think, how good it would be if these hands belonged to me. The same is true for people who see their feet. It doesn't matter if the objects are alive or not, it's what they belong to. For example, a serial killer, Jerry Brudos, once killed four women and chopped off their feet. "He paused and then said, "He likes women's clothes very much, and even takes pictures of dead bodies."

Lu Junchi remembered the name of the murderer. He had seen his case in some books. The murderer left a shocking and famous saying: "The girl is hung from the ceiling, like she is dancing ballet for me."

Lu Junchi was never afraid of ghosts, nor was he afraid of murderers with knives and guns. But he was afraid of peeping into the minds of those people, and when he heard this, he felt a chill behind his back and his heart beat faster.

But he knows very well that this is the real evil in this world, and avoiding taboos will not solve the problem. Studying the psychology of these people is the weapon for the struggle between good and evil.

When Lu Junchi faced Su Hui, he had a strange feeling. This teacher Su was obviously a slender and weak beauty, but when he talked about those things, he gave people a sense of wonder.

He seems to be able to cross the border between normal and abnormal without any effort, revealing those abnormal behaviors, and trying to figure out the psychology of the perpetrators.
