Bai Jin Xi stood in front of the desk, took out her belongings, and put them away.
Her desk was facing the door, and people kept passing by, turning to look. There were even one or two male police officers who stopped directly at the door, looked around boldly, and smiled at her.
Jin Xi smiles back.
The table was cleared, and she looked up. Han Chen was sitting diagonally across from the wall, holding a copy of "Sports Weekly" while reading. She greeted him when she arrived this morning, and he just said "um".
This is an office specially opened by the Provincial Bureau for the "Black Shield Team", and her trial period is half a year. If you pass half a year, you can stay. Yesterday, she just left Jiangcheng. The director and other colleagues are very reluctant, but also very supportive.
As for Xu Sibai...
Jin Xi still remembers the smile on his face and the loneliness in his eyes when he took her to the train station yesterday.
"If it's what you want to go, I'll support it," he said.
Jin Xi reaches out and hugs him. This was probably the first time the two embraced, and when they parted, his face was all red. And she smiled: "Xu Sibai, I will come back to see you when I have time!"
…
"What are you looking at!" Qin Wenlong's voice sounded at the door. He raised his hand and patted away the two gay men who were looking at the door, and walked in swaggeringly.
"Don't mind, these bastards are just looking fresh and have no malice," he said.
Jin Xi: "It's fine."
He turned around but kicked Han Chen's desk: "I don't know what to do! What should I do if I scare Jin Xi?"
Han Chen flipped a page of the newspaper: "She's not so easily frightened."
Jin Xi wants to laugh a little. At this time, Qin Wenlong had walked up to her and looked at her with a smile: "Jin Xi, are you still used to living in the dormitory? Feel free to mention anything you need."
"I'm used to it, I don't need anything else." Jin Xi replied.
Qin Wenlong nodded with satisfaction and added: "criminal psychology research is very important to our Black Shield team. You start this part of the work first, and when everything is on the right track, the bureau will invite two professors from the university to come over to part-time to guide and assist you. work."
"Great."
Qin Wenlong glanced at Han Chen again: "As for this guy, he has a prejudice against criminal psychology, ignore him. Treat him as a case-solving machine." He left after saying that.
Jin Xi glances at Han Chen, who has never been concerned with reading the newspaper, and coughs lightly, "Um... a case-solving machine. Hello, Robot!" The tone is particularly melodious.
Before he finished speaking, Han Chen suddenly dropped the newspaper and got up and walked over.
Jin Xi watched his nose and heart, and let him approach.
He stood beside her table, one hand on the table.
"Your immediate boss is me."
The deep voice made Jin Xi's heart tremble. He turned around and walked out.
After a while, three people came in.
Jin Xi stood up with a smile and greeted them one by one, "Hello! Hello!" Finally, she punched Zhou Xiaozhuan next to her.
The first person was actually the guy who was chatting endlessly at the selection site that day. Xiao Zhuan named him "Brother Nao". Nagging brother's name is very elegant, his name is Shi Heng, and he is from another city. Jin Xi and Xiao Zhuan were surprised that he was selected.
The nagging brother immediately explained the reason to them vividly: "As soon as I walked into the interview classroom that day, Han Chen said: 'Shi Heng, I know you. In the whole K province, no one can do fingerprint restoration and trace identification better than you. Better. I don't look at anything else. If you can pass the written test, I will use you. 'I wipe, Han God is Han God, and you can lower talents without sticking to one pattern! As a result, I just took 60 points in the written test, hahaha! Yes Now, Han Chen will be my male god from now on, whoever robs me will be anxious!"
…
The second person was a silent young man with a stern look. Like Han Chen, he was wearing a black jacket. His name is Chi Chen. In stark contrast to Brother Nao and Xiao Zhuan, he didn't even have a smile on his face when he greeted them. Xiao Zhuan called him "Brother Cold Noodles". However, Jin Xi has heard of him and respects him very much. It is said that he is an expert hunter in another prefecture-level city. He is the provincial champion of shooting competitions and fighting competitions every year, and has strong criminal investigation skills. There is no doubt that he is a general with a high martial value, but he just doesn't know how he compares to Han Chen—because Han Chen has never participated in this kind of competition.
The last person, of course, is Xiao Zhuan. Han Chen and Qin Wenlong took a fancy to his meticulousness and ability to be a scholar, and planned to make him the "civilian" of the group, and he was also in charge of the computer part.
This is all the members of the "Black Shield Group" in the early days.
Han Chen came back soon. The other three all stood up, and Jin Xi had no choice but to stand up too. But Han Chen obviously didn't have any leadership style or hobbies, so he walked to his seat without giving a welcome speech or anything, so he started to do his own thing.
The other four had to look at me, I looked at you, and sat down.
For the first time here, Brother Nao and Xiao Zhuan are very restrained and only chat occasionally. "Brother Cold Noodles" Chi Chen had no need to speak at all, and buried his face behind the computer. And Jin Xi has been doing her own thing.
The first morning of the Black Shield team was almost spent in silence.
At noon, Han Chen stood up.
Brother Nao immediately stood up second: "Brother Han, are you going to eat? Ah, it's noon before I know it, and I'm really hungry."
Xiao Zhuan interfaced: "Brother Han, is the food in the cafeteria delicious? The first day I came to work at the provincial bureau, I'm not familiar with it! Hehe."
Although Brother Lengmian didn't speak, he also stood up and looked at Han Chen.
Jin Xi wanted to laugh a little, guessing that Han Chen, who was alone, didn't plan to eat with them. Helpless teammates are too strong.
Sure enough, probably considering that they were both newcomers, Han Chen tilted his head and lit a cigarette, remained silent for a few seconds, and replied, "Let's go."
—
The canteen is on the side of the office building. The five people walked along the long tree-lined avenue. As a loyal fan of Han Chen, Brother Nagmian followed him all the way to his left; Brother Lengmian didn't talk much, but he also followed closely to his right. I don't know what kind of friendship he has with Han Chen, and the two even lowered their heads and talked a few words.
Jin Xi and Xiao Zhuan were left behind.
It was meal time, there were a lot of people in the cafeteria, and we had to queue up. Many people turned their heads to see their fresh faces.
As soon as Jin Xi and Xiao Zhuan lined up at the end of the line, they heard Han Chen's voice in front: "Jin Xi, come here."
Jin Xi was slightly startled, and Xiao Zhuan immediately poked her arm: "Go ahead." The nagging brother in front also said, "Yes, ladies first, you come in front of us."
Jin Xi walked over, Han Chen glanced at her, took a step back, and left a space. She interjected: "Thanks."
Han Chen didn't speak.
The line moved quickly, and within a few minutes, Jin Xi arrived at the window and took a dinner plate.
"Girl, what to eat?" The master saw that it was a beautiful woman, his eyes lit up, and his voice was a little louder than before.
Jin Xi stretches out her hand a little: "Pork chops, shredded potatoes, and two or two meals."
"Okay!" The master waved a big spoon, and the portion was half as much as the others, and she immediately filled her plate. Jin Xi's mouth is the sweetest: "Thank you, master! You are such a nice person."
Before their meal cards were completed, Han Chen reached out and swiped the card for her.
"Eat a lot." His voice sounded in her ear, "Where's the meat?"
Jin Xi's expression is also helpless: "The bones are so strange, there's nothing I can do."
—
The five found a table and sat down. It was about time that he finally let go. Brother Nao and Xiao Zhuan were very close to each other, chatting all over the world. Han Chen and Brother Lengmian ate in silence, and Jin Xi exchanged a few words from time to time. Sometimes when they heard something funny, Han Chen and Brother Lengmian would also smile.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After a while, Jin Xi feels dry mouth and stands up: "I'll go buy a drink."
None of them objected.
After Jin Xi left, the dining table remained as it was, the two continued to gag, and Han Chen lowered his head and ate spoonfuls.
Suddenly they were all quiet.
Han Chen raised his head, followed their gaze, and looked to his side.
Xin Jia.
Known as the goddess of Normal University in K Province, she wore a long green dress and a small white coat today. She looked really slim and attracted the attention of many people around.
Carrying a large box of delicately packaged moon cakes in her hand, she stood at the table smiling and smiled at the others.
"Han Chen." She called his name.
Han Chen glanced at her and continued to eat with his head down: "What's the matter?"
She put the moon cake on the vacant seat beside him: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. This is the moon cake sent by my aunt. One piece has been sent to me. I'll bring it to you today."
"Let it go."
No one at this table is stupid, Han Chen's indifference can be seen. So, except for Brother Lengmian, they all politely smirked.
Xin Jia smiled at them: "You can try it when you look back." Then she looked at Han Chen: "Auntie told you to eat on time and stop smoking."
Han Chen held a long spoon in his mouth and looked straight ahead, ignoring her.
Xin Jia raised the corner of her mouth and smiled: "I'll go first." Nodding to the others: "Goodbye."
—
Jin Xi turned around with a few bottles of drinks in her hand, and when she looked up, she saw a beautiful woman turned and walked away from Han Chen's side. The expression is kinda... complicated.
Jin Xi held the bottle of water in her hands and weighed it in her hands. She walked over unhurriedly, and saw a box of mooncakes on her seat.
Han Chen lifted the moon cake and threw it onto another empty chair.
"Brother Han... Is that one just now your girlfriend?" Brother Nao asked fearlessly. He thought it was a young couple arguing, after all, such a beautiful woman.
Jin Xi lowered her head and took a bite of the pork chop. Xiao Zhuan stared at Han Chen with wide eyes.
"no."
"Oh… "
Han Chen had already finished eating, and put the spoon down: "How many mooncakes are there for you? Don't give them to me."
Jin Xi thought to herself: You don't need to give it to me either.
The table was quiet. She took a few more bites and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Someone is watching her.
The ability of a criminal policeman is not practiced in vain. She slowly put down the spoon and turned her head.
A little surprised, it was the woman just now.
Xin Jia was standing next to a wall not far from the entrance of the cafeteria, looking at her from a distance. I don't know if it's because of the light, but her face looks very white, and her eyes... can only be described as haze, as if it contains a lot of emotions.
Jin Xi stares at her quietly.
Then she saw tears welling up in her eyes.
Jin Xi turns her head and asks Han Chen, "The one just now, is your fanatical suitor?"
She asked directly, and the others were dumbfounded.
Han Chen unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip, then replied lightly, "She's not bad, don't bother."
Soon everyone had finished eating, picked up their plates and walked to the door. At this time, Jin Xi noticed that Xin Jia did not stand on the spot, but found a table and sat alone, not knowing what she was thinking.
Jin Xi then slowed down and came to the end. When Han Chen and the others walked out of the restaurant, she put both hands in her trouser pockets, turned back, and walked behind Xin Jia.
"Why did you look at me just now?" She pressed her hand on the table and stared down at her.
Xin Jia was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and when she looked up, it was her, her face was even more ugly, red and white. But her eyes were indifferent.
She sneered and turned to look aside: "Who is looking at you? Who are you?"
Jin Xi doesn't argue with her, just looks at her deeply.
"Crazy!" Xin Jia grabbed the bag next to her, turned around and walked away from the other door.
Jin Xi looks at her back.
Is it because he was jealous when he saw her with Han Chen together, and looked at her with such resentful eyes
She walked to the door, only to see Han Chen standing there with water in his hand, looking in her direction and drinking slowly. It seemed that he saw the confrontation between the two of them just now.
Jin Xi walks up to him and spreads out her hands, "I'm sorry, I seem to have made your confidante cry."
Han Chen raised his hand and threw the empty bottle into the trash: "She is not my confidante."
Jin Xi couldn't help but pursed her lips and walked out the door.
Han Chen followed behind her, took a few steps, and suddenly turned his head again, looking thoughtfully towards the direction Xin Jia left.
—
As soon as the two walked upstairs, Han Chen was called away by Qin Wenlong. Jin Xi walked back to the office by herself. As soon as she got to the door, she saw Brother Nao holding a pile of her belongings and turning around by her desk.
"Why?" she asked.
Nagging brother put down the things in his hand: "Let's change positions."
"why?"
"The boss said it. He just explained it to me when he walked out of the cafeteria." Brother Nag smiled, "Probably let me get closer to him!"
"Oh."
After a while, she sat down in the new position and suddenly noticed something...
This position is against the wall, with its back to the door.
People passing by outside can't see her anymore.
Mood, slightly flying up.
The few people just sat for a while when they saw Han Chen and Qin Wenlong walk in one after the other.
Han Chen walked directly back to his seat, picked up his jacket, and put it on. Qin Wenlong threw a document on the Xiaozhuan table: "Ruili Community, Dongcheng District, there was a shooting just at noon today. The deceased was an ordinary citizen."
Jin Xi and the others were startled.
Shooting
In various criminal cases, the incidence of shootings is relatively low. Because in China, guns are strictly controlled. Guns can only be obtained through black market channels. Or the shotguns that criminals stash in their early years.
The smile on Qin Wenlong's face was a bit cold: "Yesterday at noon, there was also a shooting in another neighborhood not far from Dongcheng District. The deceased was also an ordinary citizen. The preliminary survey results and ballistic identification results at the scene determined that it was the same person and the same gun. The gun committed the crime. So Dongcheng District handed over this case to the Provincial Criminal Police Team. Black Shield Team, your first case is here.”
—
Ruili Community is a commercial real estate that is neither new nor old. Looking from a distance, the walls of the building are a little mottled and peeled, but the whole is still neat. The deceased, Chen Xixian, lived on the eighth floor.
It has been more than half an hour since the shooting happened. Several police cars were parked downstairs, the cordon was raised, and many residents were watching.
As soon as Jin Xi stepped into the crime scene, she frowned. She smelled a sour smell. It's the kind of smell that comes from being bored for many days.
Han Chen stood beside her, put on gloves with Brother Nao and walked into the room. Xiao Zhuan and Brother Lengmian also dispersed and began to investigate.
Jin Xi slowly walked to the corpse.
This is a very simple one-bedroom, and the living room is full of fast food lunch boxes, plastic bags, and mineral water bottles. The quilt was thrown randomly on the sofa... Almost no place was clean and tidy, which seemed that the owner's life was very sloppy and sloppy.
And his death was terrifying.
Chen Xixian, 23 years old, unemployed, with a history of drug addiction. He was of medium height and thin build. Hair is a bit long.
At this moment, he was lying on his back on the dirty sofa, the shirt on his left chest was covered in blood, and a small blood hole could be faintly seen - that was the trace of bullet penetration. And his eyes were still open, looking at the ceiling. His left hand was on the sofa, and his right hand was holding a potato chip on which a black fly was parked. There was also a mobile phone beside him, with a pair of earplugs plugged into the mobile phone, and low-pitched loud music came out.
Jin Xi watched him quietly for a while, then turned her head to look at the opposite window.
On the glass window, a small round hole has been circled by the on-site personnel with pens.
That's the trajectory of the bullet.
At this time, Han Chen and the others had already looked around the scene and walked over to the corpse. Zhou Xiaozhuan opened the information in his hand and said, "The bullet casings dropped at the scene have been sent for identification, but the preliminary judgment is that it is the same as the bullet in the shooting case yesterday, and it also hit the heart yesterday. The result of the ballistic analysis: the bullet was Shot from an American Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle. And this gun is at least a few years old."
The nagging brother murmured: "Barrett M82A1? The king of sniper rifles?"
"Yes." Xiao Zhuan replied, "In addition, a 40-year-old ordinary citizen named Zhou Changgeng died yesterday, male, unemployed. According to the preliminary investigation results of the Dongcheng Branch, the two victims did not know each other, and their lives were different. There is no intersection. The two crime scenes, except for the warhead, left no traces, and no property was lost at the scene."
"This case is very troublesome." The cold-faced brother who had been silent all the time suddenly said.
The guys didn't speak. Han Chen stood closest to the corpse, with his head lowered, his sleeves rolled up, and his black-gloved hands hanging down beside him.
"Jin Xi." He called her name.
He clearly didn't say what he meant, but Jin Xi subconsciously gave a "hmm" and continued to speak smoothly: "Brother Lengmian is right..."
Brother Lengmian suddenly raised his head and glanced at her, Jin Xi reacted and wanted to change his words immediately, but he couldn't remember his name for a while, so he continued vaguely, "...he's right, this case is very troublesome.
Serial shootings have occurred both at home and abroad. In China, far away is the 'Baibaoshan' case, which was listed as the third most important case in the world by Interpol in 1997; However, these domestic shooting serial killers have some common characteristics: most of them are for money or personal vengeance, or to escape; most of them use stolen guns, or hidden shotguns or homemade guns; in addition, some of them are soldiers background. All in all, China's serial gunmen are basically 'tough bandits', born in mud.
And foreign serial gunmen are more and more professional. Most have military or police backgrounds, and some are outright psychopaths who kill randomly.
So far in our case, the murderer looks more like a random murder. However, he is different from those famous serial gunmen abroad. "
Jin Xi paused and lowered her voice a bit: "Ours, it's even more powerful. Because he uses the Barrett M82A1 that is unlikely to be obtained by ordinary people, and the domestic police and military do not use this type of sniper rifle. ; He has been using this gun for some years, and it is very clean. All this shows that he is probably a professional killer.
It's not that there are no professional killers in China, it's just that there are very few of them, and they will always hide their identities, hide in the dark, and stay far away from ordinary people's lives - this is their professional norm. In the past few years, some wealthy businessmen and dignitaries have been murdered and shot into unsolved cases, which is what these people did. It's just that professional killers have always only killed for money, and their mentality is extremely calm and self-controlled, and they will never interact with ordinary citizens. But now it seems that for some unknown reason, the professional killer suddenly walked into the sunlight from the dark and started a series of random killings. "
She looked up at them. "He's probably psychopathic. That means the whole city will be his hunting ground if he wants to."
