At four o'clock in the afternoon, today's work is over, and there are no urgent cases to be handled in the group. Everyone is a little bit at ease. The two colleagues in front of the window are chatting, and Xu Xiaodong, who usually loves deserting, is frowning at the computer. , I don't know what world problem I'm studying.
Lin Dongxue wanted to go to Lin Qiupu to report the progress. When she walked past Xu Xiaodong's desk, she found that this kid was actually comparing several imported cat foods.
Coming to Lin Qiupu's office, Lin Qiupu, who was winking at the mirror, hurriedly put away the mirror. Lin Dongxue saluted and said, "Team Lin, there is some progress in this case, and I want to report to you."
After listening, Lin Qiupu said, "It's very fast! You're getting better and better. I'm very pleased."
"It's all due to Lao Chen!"
"Don't belittle yourself, your growth this year is obvious to all... Hahahaha!"
"You laughed so hypocritically!"
"I'm sincere, okay?"
"Are you going to have dinner with some leader recently, secretly practicing how to laugh?"
"Cough, be serious!" Lin Qiupu crossed his hands, "While you were investigating, I also checked some clues for you."
"What, you checked too!?"
Lin Qiupu took the file and patted it, "It contains the names of the police officers who participated in the case back then. I got some information from them. A police officer named Wang Zheng was later transferred to the special police. He knew some things..." Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, people are coming."
An old policeman came in with a briefcase, and when he laughed, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes crowded together. Lin Qiupu stood up to greet him, "Officer Wang, it's really hard for you to call you here."
"It's all right. This case has been pending for ten years. It's always been a problem for me. I didn't expect Team Lin to investigate again."
Lin Qiupu introduced, "This is my sister..."
Lin Dongxue interrupted him and saluted, "I'm Lin Dongxue from the third detective team."
After being seated, Lin Dongxue recounted what he had found. Officer Wang said in surprise, "You actually found out the identity of that illegitimate child? It's amazing! Did he put it away in prison?"
"That's it..." Lin Dongxue didn't know how to explain it, so he said perfunctorily.
"At that time, the case card was stuck on this illegitimate child. We checked all the people around the deceased, and learned from a housekeeper of the deceased that the deceased adopted a child named Du Xu a few months before his death. It was said to be the illegitimate child of her and Zhang Bin. At first, the deceased treated Du Xu very well and regarded him as her own. However, when Zhang Bin died, her attitude changed immediately and she often beat and scolded him. He was locked in a room and stayed in it for a whole night. The housekeeper heard the cry of the child and the scolding of the deceased, as if he was forcing him to sign a contract... As for the contract, we don't know. "
Lin Dongxue asked, "Have you ever suspected this 'Du Xu'?"
"I can't talk about suspicion. He was only ten years old at the time and didn't have the ability to commit crimes, but the problem is that we have never been able to find his true identity... Now I understand that he is just a tool for the deceased to get the inheritance. was ruthlessly abandoned."
"Du Xu is the serial killer Wang Sun Xu who was arrested not long ago. He has a deep connection with another fugitive suspect, Zhou Xiao. We suspect that they had been in contact at that time. It may be Zhou Xiao who murdered and set the fire."
"Oh!?" Officer Wang looked at Lin Qiupu and Lin Dongxue in surprise.
Lin Qiupu said, "Are there any men around the age of 20 among the people around the deceased at that time?"
Officer Wang smiled and shook his head, "The scope is too large, I can't remember it for a while, but I can provide a list... I used to have a habit of keeping records of people I've visited, and I'll look for them when I go back."
"Thank you so much!"
At 5:30 in the afternoon, the four people in the office finally arrived. Chen Shi put the list he took on the table and said, "This is the list of everyone who has worked in Shida Company."
KK said: "A lot!"
Gu You said, "Do you check one by one?"
"Of course not." Chen Shi looked at Sun Zhen, "Are you sure you know Zhou Xiao's true identity?"
"Sure, but I can't recall."
"So I have an idea, in turn, use the 'patch' he gave you. You read these names one by one. If you can't pronounce the name, then he is the one you can't recall."
Sun Zhen looked surprised and asked Gu You, "Will my brain burn out?"
"Don't worry, it won't."
Chen Shi made a copy of the list, and Sun Zhen took it and started to read it. He read it very slowly. Every time Chen Shi was read, he crossed out one. There was one named "Zhou Tiannan" in the list. Chen Shi was worried that he might read it. out of this word.
Sure enough, when he read the name, Sun Zhen got stuck, "This... this... this... "
"It's ghost time!" KK clapped and coaxed, and Gu You gave him a blank look.
Sun Zhen dropped the list and covered his sweaty head. Chen Shi asked Gu You in a low voice, "Is his reaction a little too big?"
Gu You came over, pressed the back of his hand and said, "Little Bug, take a deep breath... I'll cross this name out, and you can continue to read it."
Sun Zhen raised his head and, encouraged by Gu You's eyes, picked up the list again.
However, there are a few others with the surname Zhou, and the list is in alphabetical order. When he fell into the restricted area with the surname "Zhou", Sun Zhen's tongue completely failed. !"
"What if I painted out their surnames?" Chen Shi said.
"Forgive me! When I think about the person I shouldn't think about, I get a splitting headache."
Gu You glanced at the list, "There are still five people with the surname Zhou. Could it be that Zhou Xiao's surname is Zhou, Zhou XX and Li Xiaochuan, this name is a 'combination' of two people!"
"Who is Li Xiaochuan?" Chen Shi asked.
Gu You sighed, "My boyfriend in college, one of the founders of 'Black Honey'."
"He was killed by Zhou Xiao, so you want revenge?"
Gu You nodded sadly, "It's almost time to tell you, 'Black Honey' started as a prank by two applied psychology students, Li Xiaochuan and I, are we venting our dissatisfaction in reality or studying criminal psychology? I'm not sure about the motive. He and I sneaked into other people's houses late at night and played all kinds of pranks for fun. Maybe it was the drawbridge effect, but that didn't matter. We developed feelings for each other through the tense pranks. , we share this secret.
"Later, Li Xiaochuan founded the forum to expand its scale. At first, I was against it. I felt that without good psychological literacy, it might be fun to bring people in casually, but Li Xiaochuan ignored my opinion. Our members are more and more , Everyone heatedly discussed and exchanged criminal techniques, released difficult tasks to each other, and tried on the edge of the law. Until a person with the online name 'G57' joined in, the collapse of the group officially began. He is the devil - Zhou Xiao !"
