early morning.
Bai Jin Xi pushed open the door of the office, and the first thing she saw was the man sitting by the window.
Dark grey shirt with good texture. The cuffs were rolled up, revealing the white and strong arms. In the ashtray, there was half a cigarette, and the smoke slowly rose. And he was holding a cup of coffee in his hand and staring at the newspaper with a dazed gaze.
Bai Jin Xi is very clear about why Han Chen appeared here early in the morning - the office of the "Serial Rape Case of a Salesperson in a Department Store".
This case is so tricky, and he is such a great god, a cunning and cunning director, how could he let this powerful foreign aid go in vain. I heard that the director brought Xiao Zhuan to visit the hotel where Han Chen was staying last night. He was also warmly invited as a "provincial bureau leader" to assist in the investigation.
Hearing the movement, he only looked up at her, those serene and beautiful eyes were always heart-wrenching.
Bai Jin Xi sits down in her place.
A quiet room.
After writing the report for a while, Bai Jin Xi couldn't help but look up and stare at him. Seeing that he didn't respond, she grabbed a piece of waste paper, rolled it into a ball, and threw it in his face.
Without raising his head, Han Chen reached out and grabbed the ball of paper firmly.
Only then did he look at her, there was no warmth in his eyes, and with a slight lift of his hand, he threw the paper ball away.
Bai Jin Xi said, "Han Chen. This is my case. You are sitting here now, and I have nothing to say. But everyone knows the rules. It is taboo to have multiple leaders in a case. We don't make river water, and I don't like others when solving a case. Interfere. Understand?"
Han Chen glanced at her, then picked up the newspaper in front of him again, with a cold tone: "I don't understand."
Bai Jin Xi: "You!"
She was silent for a while, and then asked: "What do you want? I'll tell you well, what are you doing..."
"Criminal mental reasoning..." Han Chen suddenly interrupted her, "It is the most useless, ignorant, and self-righteous of all investigative techniques." He said slowly, "Why should I understand?"
Bai Jin Xi is stunned.
Looking at his cold eyes, she suddenly realized.
He wasn't bickering with her or taking revenge on purpose.
He really despised, and even hated criminal psychology.
—
Criminal Minds, as the name suggests, solves cases through psychological analysis. Previously, Bai Jin Xi deduced that the criminal lived near the crime scene and might be a worker, so he obtained the answer from a psychological point of view, not based on actual evidence.
Bai Jin Xi likes criminal minds, and likes the feeling of being imaginative and blazing new trails. She is very good at this too. Every time she saw the crime scene, all kinds of speculations about the criminal would automatically come to her mind - the knowledge and skills she learned from the police academy did not seem to be lost due to amnesia.
However, in the current Chinese police force, the acceptance and emphasis on criminal psychology is not high. Some old detectives are even very repulsive and disgusted, because they feel that psychology is too illusory and unreliable at all.
Bai Jin Xi never imagined that a young detective like Han Chen, a well-known detective in the country, would have such pedantic and closed thoughts.
She was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up.
Instead of looking at him, he went straight to the whiteboard in the middle of the office.
Also written on the whiteboard is a series of her conclusions from yesterday:
"1, 25-30 years old. High school education, failed the college entrance examination;
2. Divorced, or abandoned by a long-term cohabiting girlfriend;
3. Alcoholism, fighting, gambling;
4. Workers, couriers, drivers, etc.;
…”
"Han Chen." She called his name.
He looked up at her.
"You can draw conclusions after listening to my analysis," she said.
He was silent.
One arm rested flat on the armrest, and the other was supported casually, staring at her darkly. Like scrutiny, but also like indifference at all.
Bai Jin Xi glances at the whiteboard.
Yesterday, she hurriedly briefed the detectives before she could explain the reason. She was writing a detailed report just now.
She spoke without haste. Then when he opened his mouth, his words were sharp and tit for tat.
"The most useless criminal psychology tells us that there are four types of rapists." She glanced at him lightly. withdrawn and introverted. They rape to make up for their ineptitude. Obviously our criminals are not of this type;
Second, abusive rapists, that is, sexual perversions, can only gain pleasure by inflicting severe violence on the victim. Although our criminals have abused the victim's body in a small way, there is still a long way to go from violent abuse;
Third, impulsive rapists. Obviously, he wasn't like that either.
He's the fourth type: the displaced angry rapist. "
Han Chen stared at her with a cold expression, but there was still no expression on his face.
Bai Jin Xi continued: "This kind of rapist is full of anger in his life, that's why he vents during the rape process. Whether it's the physical injury to the victim or the smashing of the scene, it all proves this.
For a blue-collar man from the middle and low income class, a man who is eager to show his masculinity and strength, in the old city of Jiangcheng, what are the channels for him to get stimulation and vent his anger in his daily life? The answer is: gambling, drinking, fighting, pornography, drag racing. So he must have one or more of these hobbies. "
She said so much in one breath, perhaps because of her concentration, those beautiful eyes also flashed a light of excitement, staring brightly at Han Chen. And Han Chen looked at her, raised his hand and took a cigarette, still couldn't see what he was thinking.
"He also has a very distinctive feature, which is his complex emotions towards women. In layman's terms, it is 'love and hate'.
During the rape process, he repeatedly abused the victim's body, which is hatred; but he used his mouth to make women orgasm, and Ji Yaxin also mentioned: he dimmed the lights in the house and broadcast the TV news-these were inconvenient. To disguise the role of crime, but obviously create a 'home' atmosphere - this is love.
And with his masculine looks and personality, I don't think it's difficult for him to attract women at first. So I concluded: He once had a long-term and stable relationship between men and women. For example, marriage, or at least cohabitation. But the relationship was destroyed, which is why he has the love-hate relationship he has now.
As for age and education? Simple. The choice of the victim reflects his obvious outlook on life and experience. The two victims were both twenty-four or five-year-old women with low education, but independent and beautiful women. In other words, they are 'young career women'. When our macho criminals choose their victims, they must choose the woman he feels 'a match for him'. So his age will be between 25-30 years old. If it is too small, such a outlook on life has not yet been formed; if it is too large, the crime should have been committed long ago, not just now.
Of course, this is also the cycle of karma. It was precisely because he chose such women that after the victimization, they all chose to call the police instead of swallowing it up. This gave the police more clues.
Failed the college entrance examination. Because of his thrill-seeking, macho personality and anger at reality, if he ever had the opportunity to go to college, he would definitely go out instead of staying here and being a worker. "
…
After Bai Jin Xi has finished this reasoning, she also feels that it is perfect. Inevitably, there is some arrogance. She took a breath, walked to the table, took a sip of tea, and then squinted at Han Chen.
"What? Did you take it?" she asked frivolously.
Han Chen looked at her quietly.
Because of the quiet posture, the facial contours are more clearly defined. Slim eyes, straight nose and thin lips. Nowhere is beautiful, nowhere is cool.
"Everything you said is true. But you can't solve the case at all," he said softly. "How can I be convinced?"
Bai Jin Xi's eyes widened.
Can she solve the case
This is impossible.
Han Chen spoke again in a very indifferent tone: "Do you dare to bet? If you win, I will never intervene in this case. If I win..." He paused.
Bai Jin Xi said without flinching, "If you win, I'll just follow your lead. You can do whatever you want me to do, there's nothing wrong with it."
"Okay."
The four looked at each other, no more nonsense.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Zhou Xiaozhuan pushed open the door and walked in, holding a thick stack of documents in his hand.
"Boss! Officer Han." His face was a little strange and helpless. "Good news, bad news."
Bai Jin Xi rolled his eyes at him: "Of course it's good news."
Zhou Xiaozhuan threw the information on her desk: "The good news is that we have already determined the list of suspects. The bad news is—" He spread his hands: "There are 75 suspects, 75, boss! The largest number of suspects in the history of Jiangcheng!"
Bai Jin Xi is stunned for a while, grabbing the documents: "Why is this happening?"
Zhou Xiaozhuan said with a sad face: "Boss, we are so unlucky! There is actually a Bluestar Machinery Factory more than five kilometers away from the crime scene. There are hundreds of workers in this factory, and that guy all fits your portrait. : 25-30 years old, strong male, high school education, flexible working hours in three shifts. The profit of that factory was very good in the past, but it has not been able to in recent years, so many people have been dumped by their girlfriends... Boss, this time is really blind The cat hit the dead mouse, I can't find it!"
Bai Jin Xi was dumbfounded.
Subconsciously, he turned to look at Han Chen.
He leaned back in his chair, his eyes dim and his posture calm.
Apparently this result had been anticipated.
He actually knew all of these things like the back of his hand.
Zhou Xiaozhuan is still chattering, but Bai Jin Xi just wants to hit the table with her head.
She slapped a large area, and she actually met seventy or eighty single strong and abandoned young men. Is this too a test of character
Moreover, she also gambled her dignity!
Bai Jin Xi: "Cough... Xiao Zhuan, you go out first."
"Oh."
When Xiao Zhuan went out, the interior was quiet again.
Bai Jin Xi doesn't know what to say for a while. But it is necessary to make jokes and not admit it. Just as he was considering the language, he saw Han Chen staring at her, his slender and fair hands resting on the table, tapping gently, his eyes were as dark as water.
Bai Jin Xi was actually a little embarrassed by him: "This..."
"Bow your head and shut up." He interrupted her casually, "I'll let you talk and then talk."
Bai Jin Xi: "...!"
He had already lowered his head, picked up the coffee, and continued to read the newspaper in front of him.
Bai Jin Xi bows her head and angrily flips through the suspect's information in front of her.
are you crazy!
There was a long silence in the room.
Although Bai Jin Xi is a little unwilling and aggrieved, the most important thing in his heart is the case. With the suspect's information, he quickly concentrates on it.
After a long time, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Looking up, he saw that Han Chen's seat was already empty, the office door was gently closed, and he went out.
—
Outside the door is the large office of the criminal police team, and Han Chen passed through with an indifferent expression. A criminal policeman took the initiative to greet the famous detective, but he just nodded with a very light expression. He was tall and handsome, handsome and eye-catching, but it made people feel difficult to approach.
There is a long corridor at the entrance of the criminal police team. There is no one at the moment. Han Chen leaned against the wall, tilted his head and lit a cigarette, looking into the distance, his eyes closed slightly, and his eyes twitched coldly.
Footsteps sounded on the stairs, calm and even, and someone walked up the stairs.
"Forensic doctor Xu." "Forensic doctor Xu, come to deliver food to Xiaobai again." Someone passing by greeted them warmly.
"Hello." "Good morning." The man's voice was clear and gentle, like a spring breeze.
Han Chen brushed off the soot and looked up.
Xu Sibai also happened to be walking up the stairs, carrying a folded lunch box in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his fair and handsome face. As soon as he raised his head, his eyes met Han Chen's.
Xu Sibai was silent for a moment.
Then he slowly looked away, and walked past Han Chen without looking sideways, as if he hadn't seen this person.
Han Chen watched him walk by, silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled faintly. Looking at the misty clouds in the distance, I continued to smoke.
—
"Squeak." The door rang.
Bai Jin Xi doesn't lift her head: "Can I raise my head? Can I speak? Give me a clear order, Boss, or I'll be frightened."
The visitor was silent for a moment, then said, "Jin Xi."
A clear voice.
Bai Jin Xi raised her head, but smiled, "It's you."
Xu Sibai walked up to her in a leisurely manner, put the insulation box on the table, opened it, and asked, "Who do you think it is?"
Bai Jin Xi pursed her lips towards the door: "That shy guy outside."
The smile in Xu Sibai's eyes disappeared in a flash, he pushed the food in front of her, sat down, and said gently, "Eat it quickly."
"Ah." She was no longer polite to him, picked up the chopsticks, and began to sweep the food in each box like a storm. She buried her head, while Xu Sibai leaned back in the leather chair, his eyes were calm, his hands rested on the backrest, and he tapped one after another.
It's just that Bai Jin Xi was worried about the case, and after eating for a while, she couldn't help but pick up the documents at hand, bit her chopsticks and began to study it. Xu Sibai stared at her face, glanced at the information again, and asked softly, "The case is not going well?"
Bai Jin Xi looks up at him.
In front of her good buddy Xu Sibai, she would not be swollen and fat. Nodding his head, he replied with a sad face, "I have never encountered such a difficult case."
This is true.
Although she is a grass-roots detective at the Guanhu Police Station, she is also well-known in Jiangcheng. But after all, how complicated can a police station encounter a case? She had solved a murder case before, but the murderer was actually a peasant from a nearby village. After committing the crime, she was so nervous that she would not go out every day. She went around the village and locked the suspect based on the love-hate relationship of the deceased. After a short interrogation, the other party broke down and confessed; she had also solved a rape case, but the young man didn't even know how to wear a condom, and left DNA everywhere, so it's no wonder he didn't solve the case.
"But this case is different," she said. "The murderer was well-planned and cold-hearted. No clues were left. And..." She sighed. "There happened to be a factory nearby, and there were too many suspects that fit the criminal profile."
She continued to lie on the table, slumped. Xu Sibai stared at her thoughtfully for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" She glared at him.
The smile faded from his eyes, and he looked at her clearly.
"Bai Jin Xi," he said, "there is no case in this world that you can't solve. It was in the past, and it will be in the future."
Bai Jin Xi blinked, her body that was soft like a pile of mud suddenly sat up straight and stared at him: "Why do you have so much confidence in me?"
Xu Sibai stood up and started to pack the lunch box in a hurry, Qing Jun's face was calm.
"Because you are Bai Jin Xi. The only one I have..." He looked up at her, "Good brother."
Bai Jin Xi is stunned for a few seconds.
There seemed to be a burning emotion in his heart, which was ignited by his calm words.
After a moment of silence, she just nodded and said, "Well! Not much else to say. When the case is solved, I will treat you to a feast."
A faint smile appeared in Xu Sibai's eyes: "Okay."
After all, he was too tired to investigate cases for days. After eating and drinking, Bai Jin Xi just sat down for a while, and felt a deep sense of tiredness attacking her heart. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Xu Sibai, who was sitting beside him. He was picking up a book on her desk and reading.
At noon, the scorching sun outside can cause people to peel off a layer of skin. He is such a bright moon and a breeze, if he really leaves under the scorching sun, no one can bear it.
"I'll sleep. You rest too," she said. "Go back later."
"Um."
The afternoon breeze is breezy, and the leaves outside the window are dyed golden yellow. Bai Jin Xi lay down on the table, resting her head in her arms, and fell asleep after a while.
The room was silent.
Xu Sibai quietly read the book for a while, then raised his head.
The sunlight came in from the small window, and just fell on Bai Jin Xi's desk. A bright golden band on the black lacquer table made her face whiter and softer. Her sleeping position was not good, she was lying on her stomach, like a boy. It's just that compared to the usual smugness and arrogance, the sleeping face at the moment is much quieter. The slightly curly long hair was spread on the table, and on the face of the melon seeds, the two long curved eyebrows seemed to be outlined by an ink pen. There is still a little baby fat on the cheekbones, which looks quiet and cute.
Xu Sibai watched for a while, put down the book, got up and walked towards her.
The two of them were not far apart. He walked to the table, his eyes still on her face. The sun shone on the two of them, warm and dazzling. Xu Sibai lowered his eyes slightly and put one hand on the table.
After a while, he leaned down, closed his eyes, and his lips slowly approached.
