Chapter 145

After Fang Kai finished speaking, everyone discussed it. Ding Guoqiang asked, "Do you all agree with the three points Fang Kai made?"

"I agree." "I agree." "Very careful observation."

Ding Guoqiang called someone to write down the three points Fang Kai mentioned on the blackboard.

At this time, Ding Guoqiang called out his name: "Li Qingyao, tell me, you have been following Xiang Siling for the longest time."

Li Qingyao, who was sitting on the periphery, immediately stood up and answered, "Yes." She understood very well that not only had she been with this line the longest, but this was also the attitude of the leader - to give newcomers a chance to speak. Many people looked over.

Today she wore a light green knitted long-sleeved shirt and dark brown trousers. Standing among a group of criminal police, she looked like an elegant lily falling in the dark mud, looking even taller and slimmer, with fair and clear skin. But with such a gentle face, she didn't give people the slightest feeling of being delicate. Perhaps it was because she stood too straight, her eyes were too calm, and her voice was too steady.

She said: "Let me first talk about my judgment on Xiang Siling - I agree with Fang Kai, she has nothing to do with Qian Chengfeng's death, the murderer is someone else. There are three main reasons:

First, according to the information we have, Xiang Siling and Qian Chengfeng were preparing to go abroad. Xiang Siling had no reason to kill Qian Chengfeng at this time, and she had no motive to kill;
Second, Xiang Siling loves her daughter very much, and this has never changed. If she planned to kill someone today, there is no need to bring her daughter. She can just make an appointment with Qian Chengfeng to spend time together. I don't believe she will let her daughter witness her father being killed and repeat her mistakes.

Third, I feel that Xiang Siling's style of committing crimes is completely different from this case. Xiang Siling was very cautious, meticulous, and well-planned. He almost calculated everything he could to ensure that there would be no mistakes. In contrast, the murderer in this case, although he also had a strong anti-detection awareness, his style was still much rougher. Whether it was the choice of escape route or the control of the murder scene, it was full of mobility and risk, but the murderer didn't seem to care. One was very cautious and thorough, while the other was very open and bold. They were not of the same style. The murderer in this case and the real murderer in the Liu Huaixin case are the same person. "

After a pause, Li Qingyao continued, "Back at the crime scene, I also made two small discoveries. First, the towel that the murderer used to cover Qian Chengfeng's mouth was taken out halfway through, so the ground at that location might be stained with saliva, and the towel was also stained with blood from the ground. Why? If he was determined to kill, why would he take the risk of Qian Chengfeng calling for help and take out the towel so that he could speak? I think the murderer is very likely trying to force a confession and get something out of Qian Chengfeng."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little surprised.

"Secondly, compared with Liu Huaixin, Qian Chengfeng's suicide note is completely different in terms of the emotional stability and the content of the text. I remember very clearly that Liu Huaixin's suicide note had clear handwriting, a steady pen stroke, and was written in one go and very neatly. So I always felt that even if he was coerced at the time, Liu Huaixin was willing to write the words in his suicide note, and he really felt guilty in his heart. Qian Chengfeng was different. He must have been extremely panicked at the time and didn't want to die at all.

The contents of the suicide note must have been specified or requested by the murderer. Liu Huaixin wrote: [I hope my death can atone for my sins]. Qian Chengfeng wrote: [I am a beast and do not deserve to live in this world. Even if I die, I cannot atone for my sins.] This shows that in the murderer's heart, there is a difference in the degree of hatred for these two people. Liu Huaixin can be forgiven, but Qian Chengfeng's crime is unforgivable. "

Many people thought that Li Qingyao's judgment of Xiang Siling was not outstanding. But the last two inferences made the old detectives excited. They didn't expect that this little girl had only been here for a few months, but her thinking was so sharp and her attitude was so generous that she could not be underestimated.

The captain of the first team, who was not stingy, even ignored the occasion and patted the back of the young detective next to him, meaning, "Such a good girl, why haven't you caught up with her yet?" The young detective's face immediately turned red, and he secretly glanced at Li Qingyao again.

However, Li Qingyao really didn't notice this passerby. When she finished her speech and sat down, she did feel someone was looking at her. So she raised her eyes casually and met Chen Pu's.

He was sitting in front of her with his back to her, one arm on the table, looking sideways, the other hand on the back of the chair, holding a pen. His face was calm, the same as when he listened to Fang Kai's speech, with a serious look of being calm and indifferent to the subordinates. But when their eyes met, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and he turned his body back.

Li Qingyao remained calm, lowered his head, continued to take notes, and smiled slightly.

Several people from Team 2 and Team 3 expressed their opinions, which were similar in content. Finally, Ding Guoqiang mentioned Chen Pu's name.

Chen Pu said: "Everyone has said almost everything, I will add two more details:
First, during the Liu Huaixin case, we were still confused about how the murderer forced Liu Huaixin to cut his wrists without a fight. Now the answer is clear - the murderer had a gun. But the question is, since he had a gun and fired it in this case, why did he choose such a troublesome way of killing as cutting wrists?
Li Qingyao just said that Liu Huaixin's mentality before his death was different from Qian Chengfeng's. He was willing to die. So I speculate that Liu Huaixin cut his wrists under the guidance of the murderer, so he cut four times before he succeeded; while Qian Chengfeng was killed by the murderer himself with one cut. This is very difficult, and the murderer has practiced many times. Cutting the wrist means letting out all the blood in the body and letting the deceased watch himself die slowly. This must have a special meaning for the murderer.

Second, the murderer is not only well-trained, but also has an extremely stable mentality. I also agree with another point made by Li Qingyao. His style of committing crimes is indeed rougher than Xiang Siling. But I think he must be better at committing crimes and killing people than Xiang Siling.

Let us recall the entire crime process described by Xiang Siling - when he pulled out the gun, Qian Chengfeng certainly tried to fight back, but he fired decisively and accurately;

The arrival of Xiang Siling and her daughter made it very difficult for the murderer to continue to control the scene. No matter how young the child was, he had to control two people at the same time; and Xiang Siling was not an ordinary woman, she had a good physical fitness, had trained herself, and had a certain ability to fight back. But the murderer almost instantly determined the response method - instead of using the troublesome rope, he took out the cuffs and snatched the child first, so that Xiang Siling did not dare to fight back, and easily subdued the two.

Next, he chatted with them in front of the corpse for half an hour. When he left, he took another risk and lied to Si Ling that he was going out to smoke, and fled without any hurry.

The murderer was extremely relaxed and calm throughout the crime, with strong adaptability and ease. This shows that he probably had a lot of criminal experience before, and was not afraid of death at all and acted recklessly. "

The meeting became noisy again.

They had encountered the kind of desperate criminals that Chen Pu described before, but this was the first time they had encountered one with such advanced criminal skills and a gun.

This means that a highly dangerous serial killer has been in Xiangcheng all along, and with his second crime, he obviously doesn't intend to hide himself anymore.

Ding Guoqiang felt more depressed as he listened. Chen Pu, his disciple, was always like this - he would say whatever the leader was afraid to hear and didn't like to hear. But what he said was the honest truth, so you had to accept it with a pinch of your nose. However, in addition to being depressed, Ding Guoqiang was also a little proud, thinking that his disciple's speech had grasped the core essence of the case and the murderer.

Ding Guoqiang nodded modestly and said, "Chen Pu is right. All departments must be vigilant and go all out to catch the murderer as soon as possible. So, do you all agree that these two cases are serial cases and the murderer is the same person?" Everyone nodded in agreement.

A voice sounded: "Captain Ding, I would like to express my opinion from the perspective of criminal psychology."

Ding Guoqiang raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Yangxin: "You say."

Everyone waited quietly.

Everyone here knows criminal psychology, and they all know a little bit about it, and sometimes they apply it to investigating cases. Zhou Yangxin is usually a down-to-earth and proud young man, and he is very popular. Everyone also knows that he is a fan of criminal psychology. But like today, when he really encountered a serial killer, it was the first time that Zhou Yangxin solemnly expressed his opinion from the perspective of criminal psychology.

Zhou Yangxin stood up, and his appearance made Li Qingyao look sideways - his usual carefree attitude was gone, his aura was several years more stable, and his eyes were sharp. He looked like an old criminal policeman like Ding Guoqiang and Chen Pu.

Li Qingyao thought that people are different because they have something they particularly love and pursue.

Zhou Yangxin said: "I have done a relatively simple psychological profile, and I have tried my best to hope that it will be of reference value in solving the case. Many situations have been mentioned by colleagues before, such as the murderer's well-trained and extremely stable mentality, which I will not repeat. The murderer's age and appearance are also available. In addition, I think the murderer has the following four characteristics:
1. Possessing economic power beyond the ordinary. Pistols are not accessible to ordinary people. They must be obtained through foreign channels. It is very difficult to obtain them domestically. Even if you can obtain them, you must have very reliable connections, and the price is extremely expensive.

2. Li Qingyao and I have different views on the murderer's style of committing crimes, or we look at it from different angles. She sees it as bold and rough. I see it as planned, purposeful, and leisurely. The murderer has plenty of free time and financial resources to plan these two crimes at will. I read a subtle sense of superiority from it;
3. The murderer will definitely speed up his crime-committing speed. In the first case of Liu Huaixin, he pretended to commit suicide, obviously wanting to delay time, probably because he had more than one target and was afraid that the police would detect his true intentions too early, so he threw a smoke bomb. But in this case, he didn't even pretend to commit suicide, and even showed his face. This shows that he is not far from his ultimate goal. If this case is as easy as an appetizer for him, then in the next case, he will definitely kill again, and the nature will be more serious, and there will be a third murder soon. I agree with Chen Pu's view that he no longer cares about life and death. As long as he completes all his crime targets before being caught by the police, he will win.

Fourth, it is strange to fold the suicide note into a thousand paper cranes. Why not simply fold it into a square and leave it? This behavior is very delicate and abstract. I searched the Internet for the meaning of the thousand paper cranes, and there are three: one is to bless courage, health and good luck; the second is to express friendship; the third is to express good wishes. In short, they all express good things. Who does the murderer want to bless? Or is he ironic about the friendship between the deceased and him?

That’s my opinion.”

After Zhou Yangxin sat down, everyone discussed in low voices for a few more sentences, but no one expressed a different opinion, and some people even nodded in approval of Zhou Yangxin. Li Qingyao carefully wrote down these points in her notebook. She felt very inspired, and perhaps she should read more books on criminal psychology in the future.

Ding Guoqiang cast an inquiring look at Chen Pu, and Chen Pu nodded, indicating that he also found what Zhou Yangxin said valuable.

In fact, Ding Guoqiang had been working for most of his life, and he had only encountered serial killers twice before. One time, he was an auxiliary force, assisting the provincial department and his brother Ding Xiongwei in a case. However, the criminal psychologist they invited at that time also left a deep impression on Ding Guoqiang.

By this time, the blackboard was already filled with conclusions about this suspect, big and small.

【1. Acquaintance;
2. Well-trained;
3. Get to know Xiang Siling;

4. Wearing size 42 shoes, height between 170-175cm; weight cannot be determined.

5. Use the M1911 pistol;

6. He tortured Qian Chengfeng before killing him;

7. Cutting the wrist and letting the blood out has special meaning to the murderer;
8. Keep a stable and relaxed mindset and don’t be afraid of death.

9. Rich criminal experience;
10. His hatred for Qian Chengfeng exceeded that for Liu Huaixin;
11. Possessing economic strength beyond the ordinary;

12. Planning, purposefulness, and a sense of superiority;

13. The speed of committing crimes will increase, and a third person will be killed soon;
14. Who do the thousand paper cranes express their blessings to?

Ding Guoqiang thought for a moment and made the following work arrangements:

Later, he will personally bring Chen Pu, the captain of the third team, and a bright spot Zhou Yangxin to report to the bureau leaders.

At this stage, the investigation of the case is mainly carried out by Team 2 and Team 3. Team 2 is mainly responsible for investigating and identifying the suspect as soon as possible based on the portrait provided by Xiang Siling and the conclusion of today's meeting; Team 3 continues to be responsible for searching and hunting down suspects at the Heilifeng scene.
