In the detention center, the suspect is myself

Chapter 314 Case advancement, third victim! ! ! [Please give me a monthly ticket! 】

"A person with a special status."

Who is considered to have a special status?
There is no standard for this. Generally speaking, as long as you are away from ordinary people, you are slightly closer to the special.

If your life is much better than that of ordinary people, then you are a little bit special.

If you can have some rights, it is the special among the special!
Although Bac Giang Province looks poor, no matter how poor it is, as long as the place is big enough, there will still be some rich people and people with relatives in official positions.

Otherwise, if there was not one of the former, Beijiang Province would have collapsed long ago, and the latter would be even more impossible. There must be dozens of people like Zhou Hu who have no father, no mother, no wife, no children.

But as long as there are, those people can be called special!
"Tsk, let's check Superintendent Zhou Huzhou first."

At the same time, in the police station, Xu Hao looked at the information displayed on the computer and said with a smile on his face.

That's right, it was Zhou Hu's family on the computer.

He has a son, a daughter, and a wife, but not his parents, who have long since passed away.

"This investigation has been completed. Inspector Zhou has no suspicion."

Wang Jin didn't feel at all that there was anything wrong with his behavior of being polite to others on the surface but being the first to check on the other person behind his back.

He stretched out his hand, moved the mouse to cross out Zhou Hu's picture, and then crossed out the picture of his daughter, leaving only the other person's son.

"On the contrary, Zhou Sen, Superintendent Zhou's son, is quite suspicious."

"What's going on with him?" Xu Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at the man.

The man is about [-] years old, has a middle-to-upper-class appearance, has long hair, and looks gentle.

"This is a returnee."

Wang Jin thought for a while and said directly.

Returnees?

Xu Hao raised his eyebrows and immediately understood why Wang Jin was the first to suspect the other party.

Returnees may gild a person's identity, making it better than others. Secondly, the thickness of this gilded skin depends on the school the other person attended.

If it's the business world or the scientific world, that's easy to say.

But if it’s the official side
If nothing else, these people are generally not found when they reach the top and hold certain rights.

There are too many hidden dangers!

No one knows what these people heard or who they made friends with while overseas.

It is estimated that Zhou Sen went to study abroad when Zhou Hu was still young.

Otherwise, according to Zhou Hu's character, he would never agree.

Xu Hao looked at the other party's file information.

"Chemistry Student"

Xu Hao murmured, and after a while, he thought for a moment.

"not him."

"Judging from the crime scene, the murderer at least has some abilities in psychology."

"I mean ability, not knowledge!"

Anyone who has the ability to use psychology to do something is among those at the top of the psychology community!
Zhou Sen is not.

The other party concentrates on studying chemical-related items, let alone psychological abilities. He only has some psychological knowledge, and he probably hasn't read much about it.

"it is good."

Wang Jin nodded. Although Xu Hao said this, he would still monitor Zhou Sen at some level in the future.

This is his style of acting!
"These guys are next."

As he spoke, Wang Jin found a bunch of pictures, with their file information beside the pictures.

Xu Hao glanced at it and then pointed out the people above.

"Pay attention to these first."

"The other few are less suspect."

These people are the family members of some wealthy people, and most of them have bad conduct.

Of course, there are also children of people like Zhou Hu, who are also people with worse personalities, and there are even a few shepherd dogs among them.

But Xu Hao didn't care about these.

"Are there any others?"

"It's gone for the time being. The boundaries between the four words "special status" are too blurry. Even the National Security Bureau can't find anything useful."

Wang Jin shook his head.

With a special status, there are a lot of people to investigate!
Not to mention anything else, how many people are there in special professions?
After all, special people include not only the rich and powerful, but also groups like the disabled!

there is none left.
Xu Hao felt a little pity, but didn't say much.

After all, the boundaries given by the system were so blurry that he couldn't study them in detail.

Thinking of this, he looked at the time.

The time now is, two o'clock in the afternoon.

He, Wang Jin and others haven't had lunch yet, and Wang Jin hasn't even had breakfast.

After thinking about it, he decided to buy some food first.

Now that the case is at a stalemate, instead of being incompetent and furious in the office, it is better to replenish physical strength and prepare for the future.

Xu Hao walked out of the police station and bought several hundred yuan of pancakes and fruit on the roadside.

Then find someone to distribute it to nearby police officers involved in the mission.

"Oh, pancake fruit!?"

There was an exclamation, and even though the other person didn't come in front of him, he knew the identity of this person.

"Brother Hao, did you add spicy strips to this?"

Wang Chao just came to the police station, unceremoniously picked up the three hot pancakes on the table, and then started to eat.

For pancakes, he prefers to add some chicken tenders and spicy strips.

Xu Hao was too lazy to answer. He looked up while eating.

"Going back to the police station so soon? What did you find?"

Wang Chao took a bite, then nodded vigorously, and after swallowing, he said:

"Following your instructions, I asked someone to investigate the origin of Sun Miao's dead money tree, and then found a flower shop in Jiangcheng."

"Then I followed this method and searched the second victim's house and found several pots of dead bonsai. I also followed this clue and found a flower shop."

Found a flower shop?

Is it so fast! ?

Xu Hao raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked up at Wang Chao.

However, the next moment, he reacted.

Jiangcheng's economy is still in a sluggish state, there are only a few restaurants, many amusement parks have closed down, and even the houses in the community cannot be sold.

Not to mention, a flower and plant shop for spiritual entertainment.

It is estimated that in those few years, those that should have closed down and those that did not, there were only a few companies left.

The number is so small that if the police send people to investigate a little bit, things will become clear.

"The shop owner has a problem?" Wang Jin asked.

"No problem. They are all natives of Jiangcheng. They struggle every day to have enough food and clothing, and their cultural level is not high."

Wang Chao said casually.

Struggling on the line of food and clothing, this sentence covers a lot of information.

It is even said that the general national construction can progress because of this sentence, for example, the original '33 taels of silver'.

Not having enough to eat and being in a state of struggle will make people work hard and have no mind to think about other things!
"It seems that Sun Miao's material life was relatively comfortable back then."

Xu Hao thought in his heart.

As the saying goes, when your material life improves, you will pursue the spiritual world.

The other party can still have spare money to buy flowers in a situation where most people live a tight life, and still have thoughts and do things according to the murderer's arrangements.
From this point of view, the other party's living condition at that time should be quite good.

Otherwise, if you don't have enough to eat, no matter who comes to criticize the other person's life, the answer they get will be "shabi".

And Zhang Zheng!

The other party is divorced, has no children to support at home, and is middle-aged. His savings are probably enough to survive the economic downturn.

'Only those who meet basic material needs and are somewhat spiritually empty will become the target of the murderer! ? '

Suddenly, Xu Hao thought of this sentence in his mind.

However, he was a little unsure.

There are only two incidents that have occurred so far, and the number is very small. The thing he summarized may be accidental, but it is not completely certain.

Thinking of this, Xu Hao shook his head and looked at Wang Chao again.

"When did you buy the money tree?"

"It was about half a year ago. The shop owner can't remember clearly, but fortunately, he has the receipt for purchasing the money tree."

As he spoke, Wang Chao took a bite of the pancake fruit, and then continued speaking vaguely.

"The batch of money trees that went eight months ago was all sold six months ago, that is, in January. The victim Sun Miao most likely bought it in these two months."

That will be considered seven months for the time being.

In seven months, a man with a healthy mind and a relatively rich material life was forced to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
Even the murderer was not at the scene of the crime. He just stood a thousand meters away and made people jump from the building!
What kind of time and experience can cause a person's personality to change so much?
'Stockholm Syndrome'.
Domestication
Xu Hao frowned, wondering whether the other party had used these two methods.

To tame an animal, there is no doubt that the first step is to break the opponent's spirit!
For example, in the so-called rape case, the rape at the beginning is a means to break the spirit.

If the victim is domesticated, how is the other party's spirit broken?
Do not.
No, the other party has not been domesticated.

Thinking that although the facial features were rotten, fear could still be seen, Xu Hao gave up his thoughts.

There is still fear on the other person's face, and he has not yet been completely tamed!

what is that?
Retain the other party’s subjective consciousness and make the other party listen to you
Suddenly, a word appeared in Xu Hao's mind.

slave!

Yes, the status of the victim is like that of slaves and slave owners, unwilling but still controlled by others.

The murderer cultivated servility in his victim! ?

Xu Hao frowned and recalled the decorations in the victim's home.

Indeed, if it is not training, but cultivating servility.
It really doesn't need to break the spirit, it just needs to be at a lower level. For example, use the atmosphere created by the decoration to suppress the opponent's psychology, and then you can take advantage of it!

for example.

If you chase a girl first and confess your love after chasing her for a few months, there is no so-called romance without the bombardment of luxury cars and money, and she will basically be rejected.

But if you act as her best friend first, and then take advantage of the other person's bad mood to reveal your feelings, then you can take advantage of the situation.
The probability is not that high.

And the results are almost the same!
"Where's Zhang Zheng?"

Xu Hao raised his head and asked, Sun Miao, it took six months from the time he came into contact with the murderer to his death. In other words, the murderer killed a person within six months!

He is more curious about the time it takes for an adult man in his 30s.

"It's almost the same here, it's about six months, but the flower shop where you buy potted plants is different."

Also six months?
Xu Hao raised his eyebrows, "Have you checked?"

"What are you looking for?" Wang Chao was stunned. He stuffed the pancakes and fruit into his mouth and forgot to take a bite.

"It is difficult to check what a person has experienced during a certain period of time, but if there are two people, they have experienced it at the same period of time."

"It's easier to check more!"

As he spoke, Xu Hao added: "Go to the national security personnel and check what common things the two of them did six months ago."

There are countless things Sun Miao did six months ago!
If the police came to investigate one after another, the workload would be beyond what the average city bureau could support.Especially when Jiangcheng is short of people, money and equipment!
Even if Xu Hao was asked to lead people to investigate in person, it probably wouldn't be possible to do it within a month.

But the good news is that Zhang Zheng was also in that time period!
In this way, they only need to look at the common things the two of them have done.

This incident may be the action of the murderer touching the victim!

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

Wang Chao heard this, and now he came to his senses belatedly.

With that said, he was about to put down the remaining pancake fruit and go find someone to check.

However, before he could get up, Xu Hao stopped him again.

"Forget it, let Lao Wang go."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Hao looked at Wang Jin, "Chaozi is not very familiar with Guoan, so his command may not be effective."

"Old Wang will take command. Chaozi and I will go check on the remaining victims of the case!"

The rest of the victims in the case?
Wang Chao blinked.

"There are too many suicides in Jiangcheng. Many of them are related to this case, but due to the times, they have been ignored and stored in the archives as ordinary suicide cases."

Xu Hao said lightly.

A criminal police officer has two main tasks.

One is to save people, the other is to arrest people!

The earliest the victim could come into contact with the murderer was seven months ago, but that doesn’t mean that all the victims came into contact seven months ago!
During those months of mental oppression, Xu Hao didn't believe that the other party was fully focused on dealing with the victims.

You can take advantage of this time to find new prey!
How many people can you find in seven months?

Xu Hao didn't know, but there were more than 20 people in Lingxia District alone!
The entire Jiangcheng has a population of one million, and if the other party finds dozens of people, they won't be able to find it at all, let alone the normal suicide attempt to cover it up.

"The efficiency of Deputy Director Li was found so quickly?"

Wang Chao was stunned and asked suspiciously.

Li Dapeng is responsible for checking whether there are any problems with suicide cases.

Many of these cases were related to his negligence, so it was natural for him to conduct a second inspection.

However, right now, it has not even been ten hours since the case was filed.

Found it so quickly! ?

"No, Deputy Li is still collecting clues at the crime scene. The archives room was temporarily searched by other comrades. There are not many police personnel, and nothing relevant has been found yet."

Computers and systems are very backward, and the police station lags far behind other provinces. They have not yet started using computers to store all file information. Therefore, if you want to investigate suicide cases, you can only look through paper documents in the archives.

Or go to the city bureau to read the files.

The efficiency is ridiculously slow!

“However, you can start from the flower and plant shop.”

Xu Hao said lightly.

"A potted plant that can affect emotions is basically not a small object like a flower, but at least a tree."

"This thing is not expensive, but it can be purchased at this time. The family's financial situation is probably not very tight, but if the family situation is not tight, not many people will buy these things."

"Just find a flower and plant shop in Lingxia District and ask them to organize the files and then check them one by one."

Those who died in the archives lacked a lot of documents that needed to be verified, and it took a lot of brainpower to check them, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

But check the flower shop directly.
Searching all customers who have purchased flowers and plants, does it sound complicated?

However, they only pay attention to whether the flowers and plants they bought are withered, and whether the decoration in these people's homes is weird enough.
This kind of thing that doesn't even require cross-examination, just walks home and takes a look at it, is it still troublesome? ?

There is one suicide in the archives that has not yet been verified. I estimate that more than ten people can be checked on the flower shop's list.

"Second!"

Wang Chao's eyes lit up. He looked at Xu Hao in front of him and took a firm bite of the pancake fruit.

"When to set off!?"

"Leave after eating!"

It's unclear whether it was not just Sun Miao and Zhang Zheng who had contact with the victim seven months ago, but three or four people.

If these people exist, they will most likely die in the next few days!

Hurry up and save every one you can!
While the two were eating, Xu Hao also dialed Li Xiang's number on his mobile phone.

He asked the other party to first compile a list of potted trees and plants that the flower shop had purchased from seven to three months ago.

Of course, most stores don’t have surveillance cameras, which is more difficult because you don’t know who bought them.

But it's not a big problem.

Those without monitoring cannot be found, only those with monitoring can be found!
Not long after, the two of them had dinner, got into the relatively new police car, and started wandering outside.

He went directly to get the documents without going to Li Xiang.

The time is too short, and it is estimated that the other party's troops have not arrived at the flower shop yet.

Just find a nearby flower shop with surveillance, obtain facial information from the surveillance, and then retrieve the other party's identity information from the archive.

After a while, the two stopped in front of a shop where business was a little cold.

"We have a visitor. Uh, two police officers, what's the matter with you here?"

The drowsy shop owner was originally a little excited when he heard the sound of the car stopping, but when he saw the police uniforms the two of them were wearing, the smile on his face suddenly froze and he asked sarcastically.

"Nothing, call up some surveillance."

As he spoke, Xu Hao turned his head, looked at the potted plants around him, and then frowned.

There are a lot of potted plants.
In the store alone, there are dozens of potted plants that can affect people's psychological conditions according to visual inspection, let alone those that are sold.

"monitor?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and walked away with the two of them, "Fortunately, I don't have the habit of deleting surveillance videos."

Xu Hao glanced at him.

It seems that he is a talkative person, the kind of talkative person who even wants to say what is on his mind.
But it’s not bad to be a chatterbox, at least you can provide them with some more information.

"How many pots of this stuff can your store sell in a month?"

As he spoke, Xu Hao pointed to the potted plant on the side.

Wang Chao squatted next to the computer, using his mobile phone to take photos of the computer screen and sending them to people at the police station, while carefully observing the surveillance.

"It's harmful, police officer, don't mention it"

The shop owner sighed, "I only have enough food and clothing for a month. After eating, paying the rent, and a bunch of miscellaneous things, there is basically not a penny left."

"The net profit is only one or two thousand a month. The thing you are talking about, if you are lucky, you can sell twenty pots a month, but if you are not lucky, you can only sell a few pots a month."

The shopkeeper said with a sigh.

"My store now only relies on selling some flowers. Fortunately, there are many women who like flowers nearby. Otherwise, I would have starved to death just relying on what you mentioned."

"You see, this pot of money tree was purchased by me three months ago, and it is still here with me."

The shop owner said with a pained face.

It's very difficult for a shop like his to take care of these things all the time, and to breed them with great care.

Otherwise, as long as there is a slightly careless action, these flowers, plants and trees will die willfully.
That would be a loss!
Of course, if it doesn’t die and can’t be sold, it will be a loss among losses!

After all, if you can't die, you need to breed carefully, and the consumption of various nutrient solutions and various artificial materials adds up.
Just like the three-month-old money tree in the pot, the shop owner kept it for three months and estimated that the money spent was more valuable than the money tree itself.

Double loss!
Hearing this, Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

The most popular items sold are flowers, not trees.

Even if this thing is withered, it occupies a small space. It is far away, and if you are a little short-sighted, it is possible to ignore it.

Therefore, this thing probably won't be used by murderers as something to oppress others' spirits.

Only a slightly larger money tree will do!

After all, when a flower withers, the whole thing rots. As for a tree, the visual effect after it withers is the same as that of a tree in winter. Only the leaves will wither. Only after they rot, will the appearance change slightly.

a few hours later.
"Brother Hao, people who bought potted trees between three months and six months ago have found some!"

Wang Chao suddenly raised his head and raised his cell phone.

This is the message sent by the police station and city bureau staff.

The Lingxia District Police Station does not have any conditions, but that does not mean that the Municipal Bureau does not!

Ordinary face recognition is still available.

Of course, if you want to recognize the face of a person ten years ago now ten years later, there is a high probability that there is no way.

However, the ones identified are from recent months.

That’s basically a one-time check!

"how many people?"

"Originally there were 130 people."

Wang Chao said, "According to what you said, the victim will not buy green plants twice to destroy the decorative artistic conception. I will praise the people who have bought green plants twice over time. And everyone's age and family background Restrictions, I did a little screening.”

"After screening, there are 40 people left."

The business of this store is average.

There are about fifty such shops in Lingxia District. Assuming all of them have 40 people, that's two thousand.

It sounds like a lot, but it’s not. It’s about the same speed as takeout. You just need to take a look when you arrive at the location, and you don’t even need to go back to the store to pick up the food!

Moreover, a considerable number of them do not only purchase from the same store.

"good."

Xu Hao nodded and looked at the messages on the other party's phone.

"Li Li, Brother Hao, do you want to check her first?"

Wang Chao asked.

The time now is five o'clock in the afternoon, a time when normal people are at home or rushing home to prepare for dinner.

Xu Hao thought for a long time and then said:
"check!"

This person's purchase time was relatively close to the time when Sun Miao purchased the green plants.

It's definitely right to check her first. After all, even if the other party is not a potential victim, it can eliminate a hidden danger.

Moreover, the other party's home is not far from the green plant store, and he is still on his way back to the police station, so he can definitely stop by.

The two got into the car and kicked off the accelerator.

Then he ran straight to Li Li’s house!

A long time later, when the car stopped downstairs in the community.

Two voices sounded one after another.

"Om~"

This is the sound of a police car stalling.

After turning off the engine, the two people subconsciously unbuckled their seat belts and tried to get out of the car.

but then
"boom!"

A muffled sound rang out!
A piece of darkness suddenly fell from high in the sky and hit the police car, the windshield in front of the two of them!

Cracks like spider patterns appeared on the glass, and blood flowed into the police car along the cracks, dripping on the steering wheel.

A face still showing fear was pressed against the windshield, and the bulging eyes stared directly at Xu Hao.

It's personal.

这 是
Li Li! ! !

Xu Hao:?
Chao Wang:?
No. Here we go again! ?
　Today is another winning day! awa
