"Come on, tell me what you think about this case."

"The door lock has no signs of being picked, and the neighbors have not heard any abnormal noise. It is very likely that acquaintances sneak in and commit the crime."

"Well, let's talk about something fresh." Xie Lanshan put the group photo into the evidence bag, handed it to Ding Li, turned around and came to Cong Ying's bookcase. It is full of books, most novels and comics, as well as professional books related to design.

"This place is a high-end villa area, and the surveillance is fully covered. It is difficult for the murderer not to leave traces after committing the crime." Ding Li has little criminal investigation knowledge, but has common sense, "This kind of surveillance data is usually uploaded to the cloud, and the hard disk in the surveillance room is destroyed. It will not affect the data on the server, as long as you go to the server provider to retrieve the surveillance video, you should be able to find the murderer soon."

"There is a lack of optimistic newcomers like you in the police force." Xie Lanshan smiled disapprovingly, his eyes continued to roam the rows of books, and almost the moment he saw the scene of the murder, he decided that this case was an extremely difficult bone to crack. , there is no surveillance video is the same.

"Alan, you say it's not bad luck?!"

The Tao team of the serious crime team has a loud voice and acts vigorously and resolutely.

Xie Lanshan looked away from Cong Ying's bookshelf and looked back at Tao Longyue who came in.

"Last night, before the data could be uploaded and backed up, the monitoring room caught fire." Tao Longyue and Xie Lanshan met eyes, and said a little angrily, "Now I'm looking for technicians to prepare for repair. It's still a question whether the content can be taken out."

"This kind of server backup usually runs every 24 hours or 48 hours." Xie Lanshan looked calm, "I guessed it."

Tao Longyue said: "I asked the guard on duty at night, and said that recently I often saw a woman wandering around the villa area, her face was covered by a silk scarf, I couldn't see it clearly, but from the clothes she looked like a rich and well-known person. He doesn't like that kind of scoundrel, so he doesn't mind. At two o'clock in the morning yesterday, he heard a strange noise and went out to check. When he turned around, he found that the control room was on fire. The fire was extinguished quickly, and he thought it was an electrical short circuit. I didn't realize something was wrong until I heard about the homicide."

"So, this woman is the suspect?" Ding Li was eager to express herself, and pretended to be familiar with the case, analyzing the case and asking questions, "But the security guard didn't see her face clearly, and the surveillance video may not be able to recover. Finding a needle in a haystack, how can we do it? How about taking this woman out?"

"You don't know that." Tao Longyue looked a little smug for no reason. "The latest news, our bureau will soon have a simulation portrait expert."

"Analog portrait expert? Male or female? Handsome or not?" Ding Li's eyes lit up. This is how American TV dramas and movies are filmed. These kinds of characters are very powerful, and a few words can solve a complicated big case. Broken.

"I don't have any more news. I also listened to my father. I didn't know whether the surname was Chen or Shen. Anyway, he was an expert in the field of criminal profiling and simulated portraits. He helped the FBI solve many cases in the United States." Tao Longyue intends Running on Xie Lanshan, he patted him on the shoulder, "So there is a lot less of you in the serious crime team, so you can be your traffic policeman with peace of mind."

"Fuck. China and the United States are in a trade war, so don't grow the ambition of others." Xie Lanshan is a little disapproving. Criminal profiles and simulated portraits sound high-end and mysterious, but they are not taken seriously in China, nor do they have much in criminal investigation. Strong practicality. She turned her head to see Ding Li's still full of longing, and became more and more unhappy, "Little girl, put away your idiotic expression, this simulated portrait expert who returned from studying in the United States is probably less than 1.7 meters tall. folds and age spots, and bald."

"Forensic Doctor Su is about to close the team." Tao Longyue greeted Xie Lanshan and went downstairs with him, and asked him, "Do you have any ideas for this case?"

"Let's talk about what you found first." The three of them walked out the door together. Xie Lanshan was about to leave, but stopped again, turned his head, squinted his eyes and glanced at Cong Ying's big bookcase again.

"The surname of the head of the family, Cong, is the only male victim in this case. His name is Cong Zhiming. He is a businessman. He does a good business and may be envied. His wife is Ding Hong, a housewife, and his relationship is relatively simple. Not to mention the old lady, her legs and feet are inconvenient, and she usually doesn't walk outside the door, so it doesn't look like she will form an enemy. So my preliminary judgment is that the key to solving this case lies in Cong Ying or her father. On Cong Zhiming."

Xie Lanshan nodded and did not express his views on the case yet.

At this time, the forensic team had completed the preliminary on-site investigation, led by the forensic doctor Su Mansheng of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Bureau. Xie Lanshan and Ding Li walked down the stairs and saw Su Mansheng reporting the autopsy situation to Tao Longyue. They were dressed in police uniforms, and their faces were slightly arrogant.

Su Mansheng is the kind of beauty with eye-catching eyebrows and a very tall figure, not to mention the Hanhai City Public Security Bureau where men are in charge, even if it is placed in the entertainment circle where beauties gather, she is not inferior. I heard that, unlike most people who were passively transferred to the forensic department, she entered the Public Security College with a high score enough to go to Qingbei, and her ambition was to "make the dead speak".

"The six victims were all pierced by a sharp object, which caused the artery to rupture, causing hemorrhagic shock to die. The time of death was preliminarily determined as the early morning of last night. Judging from the depth of the wound and the strength of the penetration, the murder weapon was a five-inch long fruit. Knife, the murderer is the same person. Among them, except for the young female deceased who was stabbed in multiple places on the neck, shoulder, and abdomen, and had as many as 17 stab wounds on her body, the rest of the deceased were killed by two to three knives. Of course, in order to draw a more accurate autopsy conclusion, a more detailed autopsy must be done." Su Man said to Tao Longyue with a solemn expression, "Team Tao, I hope you and your team members will be more punctual next time."

"Next time, be sure to pay attention." Tao Long Yue Nuonuo nodded, facing the tall and beautiful Su Man's voice, the captain of the serious crime team changed his old resolute and stubbornness, like Li Lianying in front of Cixi.

The forensic team carried the body back to the Criminal Investigation Bureau for further autopsy analysis. Tao Longyue asked Xie Lanshan what he thought about the case.

Xie Lanshan said: "In the first scene of the murder, in addition to the living room, there is also the master bedroom and the nanny's room. The second scene was arranged in an orderly manner, and no more clues were left to help solve the case. It can be seen that this is not a passion crime under emotional control. Except for Cong Ying , the rest of the deceased were killed in one or two strokes. Considering that the murder happened late at night and the neighbors did not hear the movement, a family of six was to be killed in a short period of time, and the family was not given a chance to escape, resist or ask for help. , the murderer must have two points, one is that he is very clear about the family's environment, and the other is that he is convinced that he is obviously stronger than these victims in terms of strength."

"anything else?"

"The deceased had foundation and eyeshadow on his face, and it was late at night at home, and he hadn't removed his makeup yet. Not to mention that the woman was pleasing to her, at least on the eve of the incident, she was still seeing a more important person."

"Well, um." As Xie Lanshan spoke, Tao Longyue nodded, indicating that he completely agreed with him.

Xie Lanshan took the evidence bag from Ding Li and handed it to Tao Longyue. Tao Longyue looked at the group photo inside and asked, "This is?"

"A girl who had just graduated from college did not throw away the wedding expo flyers that passersby had stuffed into her, and there was a note on the refrigerator reminding herself to visit the exhibition, indicating that she and her boyfriend had a stable relationship and had reached the stage of marriage. She still dared not put her boyfriend's group photo on the table clearly, clearly wrote the date of her visit to the wedding expo, but lied to her family that it was 'meeting a friend'. Obviously, her parents did not approve of this future son-in-law."

"So you think the man in the photo is the suspect in this case?" Tao Longyue raised his eyes and saw Su Mansheng with the forensic team preparing to evacuate.

"Also," Xie Lanshan glanced at Tao Longyue, followed his gaze to the tall and slender figure at the door, and smiled, "Our forensic doctor Su doesn't like men."

"Who, who asked you this?!" Tao Longyue realized that his eyes were filled with stuffiness, and he stammered. He thought that Xie Lanshan never made mistakes in solving cases, and asked a little reluctantly, "How did you know?"

"She didn't even look at me, except for Lesbian, there is no second explanation." Xie Lanshan smiled conceited and frivolous, raised his hand and patted Tao Longyue's shoulder, "The sky wants to kill you, it's not a crime of war, I want to open it up. ."
