Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 818 Criminal Minds
The Fourth Ward has never been more lively than it is today.

Early the next morning, news of the death of the national rescuer "Black Sand" spread throughout the coalition government.

For a whole morning, the people in the fourth district were shrouded in panic. Except for the local law enforcement officers who almost showed up, even the investigation of abnormal cases was involved in the investigation.

The coalition government has always attached great importance to the death of five-star rescuers, let alone the death of the well-known "Black Sand" this time.

The Law Enforcement Department and the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau blocked the details of the case, and people only know that the body of "Black Sand" was found in his villa, which sounds exactly the same as Melanna's accident at home.

The law enforcement officers in the fourth district are under double pressure.

Because of the involvement of the Abnormal Cases Investigation Bureau, and because they determined that Melena's case was an accident a few days ago, this directly led to the Abnormal Cases Investigation Bureau thinking that they had neglected their duties—if they had discovered the clue earlier, perhaps they could have avoided this incident. A tragedy happened.

Captain Li Ke, who went to the scene twice to investigate and came to wrong conclusions, was named.

Now, he had to leave the department and his colleagues and go to the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau alone.

When he walked out of the building, the law enforcement officers gave him sympathetic but helpless looks.

A young law enforcement captain, still in a bustling core city like the Fourth District, his future should be bright, but this mistake is very likely to ruin his future.

When he arrived at the building of the Bureau of Abnormal Cases Investigation, the detectives inside didn't give him a good look, or they never gave anyone a good look, but told him indifferently that Inspector Catherine was already waiting for him in the office.

He had heard of Catherine, had met once before on a case.

Li Ke stood in front of the office door for a long time before knocking on the door.

"Please come in."

The person inside said lightly.

He tentatively opened the door, but what he saw was darkness.

The woman with long blond hair was facing away from him, sitting on the office chair backwards, supporting the back of the chair with both hands, and resting her chin on the back of her hands.

The darkness comes from the opaque curtains. Although it is the best time of day, Catherine makes her office look like night.

She didn't turn her head, but stared intently at the movable blackboard in front of her.

On the blackboard are the photos they took from the scene. One of them is the "black sand" sitting in the hot spring. He is wearing the iconic black-gold exoskeleton armor. When law enforcement officers and investigators of abnormal cases arrived, the water in the family hot spring was stained red.

"Inspector Catherine, are you looking for me?"

"If you want to go to a hot spring, will you wear an exoskeleton armor?"

Catherine asked without looking back.

"……Won't."

Li Ke replied without hesitation, of course he knew that the scene was full of weirdness, and many people in the department suspected that the hot spring room of the villa was not the first scene of the crime, but they couldn't explain if the murderer wanted to disguise himself as "Black Sand" 』He was attacked and killed while soaking in a hot spring at home, why didn’t he take off his exoskeleton armor.

Nobody is going to a hot spring wearing an exoskeleton.

"The murderer wanted to convey some kind of message to me."

Catherine ignored Li Ke's answer, she was more like talking to herself, frowning, her eyes fixed on the "Black Sand" in the photo, "But, what exactly does the murderer want to convey?"

"If you mean the modus operandi, yesterday we found the body of a cleaner in the garbage dump on Sunset Boulevard. The murderer's methods are exactly the same as those who killed Black Sand."

"I have read your reports, and there is no need to repeat to me what I already know."

Catherine responded to him for the first time, but her attitude was not friendly.

Li Ke shut his mouth wisely.

When he came here today, he was already prepared to be questioned by Xingshi. After all, he was the one who characterized Melanna's death as an accident and closed the case early.

In fact, when he saw Catherine shutting himself in the office, he couldn't help being curious.

Although the crime scene can only be described as weird, the security system of the villa provided them with valuable clues. During the investigation, they found traces of the security system being hacked. Electric current, which may cause the "Black Sand" who is soaking in the hot spring to fall into a temporary paralysis. The surveillance also captured three blurred silhouettes sneaking into the villa of "Black Sand" that night.

If you put aside those weird details and return to the clue itself, you will find that the whole thing is not complicated.

A group of folk killers broke into "Heisha"'s home and took advantage of the situation to kill him. As for the motive, as long as these three people are caught, everything will be revealed.

After a long silence, Li Ke asked again tentatively, "Our people are investigating the information of those three people. We have obtained reliable information. "Black Sand" went to the old city yesterday before he was killed, and made a fuss. There was a lot of movement, he seemed to be looking for a hacker named Troy, as long as he found Troy, it was equivalent to finding those three people."

In his view, this is also completely in line with the information they obtained from the on-site investigation.

But obviously, Catherine was not satisfied with this answer, "The monitoring of the security system was tampered with. We don't know when "Black Sand" came home and what he did at home, but the only thing left was Evidence that can point to a suspect.”

She now somewhat understands why the law enforcement officers of District [-] would define Myrona's death as an accident, "However, this will make it much easier for you to solve the case."

"With all due respect, Detective Catherine, whether you, me, or the judge will only believe the evidence."

Hearing this, Catherine didn't speak any more.

According to the requirements of the bureau, she needs to scold Li Ke and the law enforcement officers in the fourth district, but she doesn't want to waste time on these details.

She turned her mind back to the case itself.

Li Ke, who was in the punishment station, observed Catherine's blackboard a little bored, only to find that besides the details about the case of "Black Sand" and the cleaner, there was also an unfamiliar name on it.

Chai Ke.

The name is highlighted.

This strange name made him feel itchy. He wanted to ask Chai Ke's identity, but he was worried that he would be ridiculed by Catherine again.

Catherine's eyes finally stopped on Chaike's name.

Everything seems to be back to a few months ago.

The seventeenth district, the first body pierced to death, and the abnormal time.

This is the clue their agents brought back from District [-].

However, after the Foster family withdrew from District [-], someone in the council suppressed the case, and all directional clues were destroyed, and even the Bureau only left some records, But at least through these words, she could know that Chai Ke and his subordinates had also been pierced through the heart.

The imitator, or the real culprit came to the fourth district?

Her curiosity was completely mobilized, and she couldn't wait to find out the buried truth.

But before that, someone called her cell phone number.

The call was from the superior.

After all, the deceased was a national-level rescuer of the coalition government. Now people in the entire coalition government are staring at this case, waiting for them to find out the murderer. The pressure on the director can be imagined.

At first it was a procedural case report, but after listening to her speculation, the immediate boss suddenly said, "Find Troy and the three people who sneaked into the house of "Black Sand", they are the murderers."

Li Ke heard that Catherine's immediate boss had reached the same conclusion as him, so he couldn't help but whistled to express his happiness.

This is the thinking of a man who wants to close the case as soon as possible.

But unexpectedly, Catherine didn't quarrel with her immediate boss or talk back tit-for-tat as he expected. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Is this what you mean or what your superiors mean?"

"Above."

Li Ke clearly saw that after receiving an affirmative answer, Catherine raised the corners of her mouth happily, as if she had gotten an important clue from it.

Immediately afterwards, the boss informed Catherine of Troy's hiding place, and the implication was that they should arrest people immediately and try to close the case before the afternoon.

The call ended quickly.

Li Ke asked tentatively, "Then I'll arrest people immediately?"

"Go to the second floor and find someone from the Operations Department."

This time Catherine didn't sarcastically sarcastically, but said something briskly.

Li Ke became confused. Could it be that the inspector and he are actually fellow-minded people who just want to close the case hastily?

But no matter what, it would be a bargain if he could avoid being scolded. The other party didn't even mention the wrong conclusions he made in the Melonna case.

By the way, Mylena!

Li Ke, who walked out of the office, was startled suddenly, and he looked back almost subconsciously.

The open door was still dark, and he tried hard to recall the content on the blackboard, and finally confirmed the judgment in his heart.

On the blackboard, there was no information about Myronna's case, and Catherine didn't seem to care about the death of the top agent.

Why is that?
Did she already decide that the three cases were not committed by the same group?
And when Li Ke came to the second floor full of doubts, he happened to see Catherine's suspension vehicle—it was a special vehicle for senior officials of the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau, and all road sections had to pass with green lights during the investigation.

However, the direction of the hover car did not seem to be going to the address provided by the boss, but the opposite direction.

..........................................

At the same time, a familiar figure visited Shaw Grant's villa.

Zhuang Chi, who was chewing his homemade milk oatmeal on the first floor, almost burst into tears when he saw the visitor.

--"director!"

She dropped the milk cereal and ran to Lu Xiang.

The information they found on the Internet is all false, and this city is not safe at all!

The murder is still going on, and today the deceased is a national-level rescuer. As a native of District [-], she was also a loyal audience of the "Black Sand" series.

Not long ago, the leading actor of the film was found dead in his own home. What was even more frightening was that the scene of the crime was only a few hundred meters away from them, and Mr. Shaw Grant was still the reporter.

Earlier last night, "Black Sand" had contacted him, saying that he wanted to visit him, but there was no movement until half the night, and Shaw Grant realized that something was wrong. After contacting the local law enforcement officers, he went to The villa of "Black Sand".

They eventually found the body of "Black Sand" in the hot spring room, but for the sake of other people's mental health, he did not release the details of the body after his return.

The only thing Zhuang Chi can confirm is that the death of "Black Sand" is probably extremely bloody, so that Shaw Grant took a long time to slow down after arriving home.

But all the fear and uneasiness disappeared after Lu Xiang appeared.

There is no problem that the supervisor can't solve. This is the trust of the people in the seventeenth district in Lu Xiang.

After Lu Xiang comforted Zhuang Chi, he glanced at Song Lan who was sitting on the sofa, holding an electronic newspaper in his hand. Judging from the title, it was a report on the death of "Black Sand" just a few minutes ago , The Law Enforcement Department of the Fourth District released news that the murderer was suspected to be from a private killer organization. One of them was Troy, an amateur hacker.

The two looked at each other for a while.

"Director, you are finally here. This city is too dangerous."

Lu Xiang took advantage of Zhuang Chi and Luo Jie not looking here, and silently said three words to Song Lan, "Sweep--ba--"

Maybe the problem was never with a certain city, but where Song Lan came, there would be danger everywhere.

This is true for himself and those around him.

Song Lan's face froze, and her eyes pretended to return to the electronic newspaper.

Lu Xiang could only cooperate with him, pretending to inquire about the recent case, and listening to Zhuang Chi claiming that she must know who the murderer was.

In fact, they had already met the murderer, and he was sitting on the sofa less than ten meters away from them, watching the news.

This reminded Lu Xiang of his time when he was studying at Venus. The teacher of criminal psychology said in a lecture that some criminals like to return to the scene after the crime, and they will even attend the funeral of the deceased. Talking to the family of the deceased gives them a strong sense of involvement.

For them, killing is almost tantamount to artistic creation.

According to the knowledge in the class, if Song Lan is profiled, then he completely fits the characteristics of a perverted murderer.

The same modus operandi, excellent psychological quality, and will participate in the follow-up case handling process after the murder.

Lu Xiang knew that Song Lan had never belonged to the ranks of normal people.

And during the conversation, the movement from outside the villa caught everyone's attention.

"Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau."

Through the window, Lu Xiang saw the logo of the Investigation Bureau on the floating vehicle.

She is so familiar with this pattern, the reason why she studied Criminal Minds carefully at Daystar is that she once wanted to work for the Bureau of Investigation.

Not long after, a familiar face got off the suspension vehicle, and the other person's destination was Shaw Grant's villa.

Lu Xiang went up to greet him, and spoke first, "Mr. Catherine, Mr. Shaw Grant is not at home now. He went to the filming site of "The Rescuer Master"."

"I'm not here for Shaw Grant."

Catherine smiled at Lu Xiang, "I heard that you are coming to the fourth district, and I came here specially to see you, how is it? I happen to have a difficult case in my hand, are you interested?"

　The average subscription of the two updates has been dropping recently, and it is currently (9300). I want to hit 4 subscriptions before the end, so I will merge the two updates every day into one update, which will be a chapter of 6K or [-]K words, forgive me!

　　Small theater its 180 V:

　　A certain day of a certain year, a certain month, Sunday, early morning.

　　Lu Xiang's tricks were too many, and Song Lan was becoming more and more unable to resist the opponent's offensive.

　　Especially after the fox suit arrived, the furry ears, paws and tail made him seem to have returned to the time when the other party customized the nano-tight combat suit.

　　After going through a series of role-playing games, Song Lan even had the illusion that Lu Xiang had the blood of a succubus.

　　But this morning, Lu Xiang fell into deep thought after waking up.

　　She was still wearing a fox suit, which contained high-tech elements that Song Lan didn't know about. The fox ears on her head trembled from time to time, as if they were real.

　　2167 has made unparalleled developments in technology and fun.

　　"What are you doing?"

　　After observing Lu Xiang for several minutes, Song Lan finally couldn't help asking.

　　"I found a problem while playing last night."

　　Lu Xiang frowned slightly, looking distressed.

　　"what is the problem?"

　　"What's the name of the fox?"
