In the conference room, Liu Qingyuan was sitting in the middle with his police cap in front of him. His old face was so cold that it was about to freeze.
Everyone else sat on both sides of the conference table. Although they had been busy the whole night and hadn't even eaten breakfast, everyone looked haggard, but no one said a word. The breathing of the people in the conference room could be heard clearly.
Marlin, who was standing at the front, broke the silence and played a slide show with the remote control.
The cut on the throat was very big in the photo. Even the broken blood vessels could be seen.
Marlin pointed at the wound in the photo and said, "It was cut by a sharp weapon. After an emergency inspection, it was found to be identical to the weapon used in the 513 case. Moreover, this knife cut through the blood vessels and trachea, but did not touch the bones. It could be said that it was just right. Extremely precise and ruthless … "
The slide showed a few more wounds of the dead. Marlin said, "The wounds left on the corpses in the warehouse by the river look the same. Due to the lack of time, there was no way to examine them one by one. But it could be concluded that the murderer was one person. He is the murderer of the 513 case, Xiao Li. "
Marlin then played the pictures of Ren Liang and the others' bodies. He pointed at the wound on Ren Liang's chest and said, "One stab into the ventricle diagonally, avoiding the protection of the ribs. Accurate and ruthless."
After a pause, Marlin continued, "Wu Hui and the other three died from gunshot wounds, but they were the ones who brought the guns. Moreover, when shooting at such a close distance, the murderer still instinctively chose the most fatal spots to ensure a fatal shot. There was absolutely no luck involved. "
In the end, Marlin said, "In conclusion, based on the traces of the corpse, I am very sure that the murderer is Xiao Li."
No one in the conference room made a sound. Everyone was prepared for this result.
Another sixteen people had died last night, and all of them had been killed at close range. Such brutal methods were rarely seen in the Federation. How could there be a second killer!
If that was the case, everyone present would collapse even more.
After Marlin sat down, Xu Xu stood up and walked to the front. She held the remote control and switched to the slideshow. The footage from the surveillance camera appeared on the screen.
Xu Xu pointed at the blurry photo and said, "This was taken by the camera in front of the Jin Ding Building. Because it was nighttime, the quality of the video was very poor. But from the camera, we can see that Ren Liang and the murderer came in the same car. "
Xu Xu paused for a moment to give everyone some time to digest what she had just said. Then, she continued, "We've checked other related cameras and confirmed that Ren Liang's car came from the warehouse by the river.
In other words, at around half past two, the murderer took Ren Liang to the Jinding Building after committing the crime in the warehouse. At 3: 37 am, he killed Wu Hui and the others. Before he left, he used Ren Liang's phone to send me a message. "
Ye Nan, who was sitting beside Liu Qingyuan, suddenly interrupted, "Why would the murderer text you?"
Xu Xu glanced at Ye Nan and did not reply immediately.
The other party was the team leader of the special task force sent by the Jinling Prefecture. He was also an extremely famous detective in the Jinling Prefecture. Although he was only in his forties, he was very experienced.
There were consecutive shocking murder cases in Shangjiang, and even the governor of the Jinling Prefecture could not sit still. He hurriedly asked Ye Nan to bring the task force down that very night.
With Ye Nan around, Xu Xu and the others could only cooperate with him to solve the case, thus losing their leadership position.
Of course, Xu Xu was very unhappy about this. Moreover, she didn't like Ye Nan's tough and old-fashioned way of handling cases.
After pondering for a while, Xu Xu answered cautiously, "I'm not sure what the murderer is thinking. However, judging from his method of committing the crime and his style, it's not to show off. It's possible that he's trying to save the two innocent girls. "
A trace of disdain flashed across Ye Nan's face. He was a typical person who hated evil and had no sympathy for criminals. He also liked to use the harshest and coldest methods to deal with criminals.
Xu Xu's thoughts made him think that this woman was too weak and had unnecessary fantasies about criminals. To a detective, this was actually a mistake.
Ye Nan felt that this rising star of the police force had an exaggerated reputation.
The subtle change of emotions on Ye Nan's face did not go unnoticed by others. In fact, Ye Nan had no intention of hiding it.
Most of the higher-ups in the Shangjiang Police Force were instinctively against Ye Nan, who came from above. Ye Nan's attitude made everyone even more unhappy.
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became especially gloomy.
Ye Nan also noticed this and was a little surprised. It seemed that Xu Xu still had some prestige.
Liu Qingyuan frowned. He did not like Ye Nan's attitude either. However, as the chief officer, he could not let such an obvious rift appear between the two parties.
He said, "Old Ye, what do you think? Feel free to say it."
Ye Nan did not stand on ceremony. He said, "I've read the files of the two cases carefully. Forgive me for being blunt, but the handling of the cases in Shangjiang is still a little rough. Especially the Flying Dragon Corporation, they actually have our internal information. What does this mean? It means that someone among us is secretly colluding with the Flying Dragon Society! This is a very serious matter, gentlemen! "
Liu Qingyuan's face darkened, but he had nothing to say.
The shocking murder cases were a matter of luck, and it had nothing to do with his ability. The consecutive shocking murder cases proved that there was still a problem with his ability. He could not solve the cases as soon as possible, and he could not protect the stability of Shangjiang.
The problem was even more serious when someone among them colluded with the Flying Dragon Society. This was not only a problem with his ability, but it also made people doubt his integrity.
Ye Nan continued, "Looking at it now, the Flying Dragon Society has a very serious problem. It involves smuggling, human trafficking, human organ trafficking, as well as many murders and kidnappings. The crimes are numerous and shocking. Such a large-scale criminal organization is actually a well-known enterprise in Shangjiang. This is a disgrace to the police force! "
Liu Qingyuan had also accepted his fate. After so many things had happened, it was impossible for him to be promoted anymore. He had to thank all the gods that he could retire successfully.
Ye Nan then said to Xu Xu, "The Flying Dragon Society might be a vicious competition between criminal organizations, or it could also be a fight within the Flying Dragon Society. However, no matter what, the murderer is not a good person. You can't have any sympathy for the murderer, and don't have any illusions. "
Xu Xu was a little unconvinced and retorted, "I'm not having any illusions. I'm just making an analysis based on the existing evidence and situation. The murderer is extremely cruel, but it doesn't mean that he's inhumane. From the 513 case, there was a female witness who saw the murderer, but the murderer did not kill her to silence her. It's not that he couldn't do it, but he didn't want to do it. "
"This doesn't mean anything."
Ye Nan rudely interrupted Xu Xu, then took out a document from his bag and placed it on the table.
He stood up and said in a deep voice, "According to the instructions of the capital, from today onwards, the Flying Dragon Society Special Task Force will be established. I'll be the team leader, and Bureau Chief Liu Qingyuan will be the deputy team leader. Xu Xu, Marlin, and the others are all members of the task force. The others will do their best to help. We must find the murderer and solve the case as soon as possible … "
No matter how much they disliked Ye Nan, everyone stood up and agreed in unison.
After the meeting, Zheng Zi dragged Ye Nan to a small restaurant for breakfast.
It was already past ten o 'clock, and there were no customers in the restaurant. Fortunately, Zheng Zi and the others were regular customers, so the boss specially made them two bowls of beef noodles.
Zheng Zi and Xu Xu felt very comfortable as the fragrant beef noodle soup entered their stomachs. The bellyful of anger that they had been holding back in the morning also dissipated a lot.
Zheng Zi said, "Ye Nan is so arrogant, he's so annoying."
Xu Xu laughed. "If Ye Nan had a good temper, he would've gone to the federal capital by now. He's like that, a workaholic and indifferent. There's no need to be angry with him. "
Zheng Zi sighed. "That's true, but I'm still very unhappy being led by this old man. I really want to solve the case immediately, catch the murderer, and give him a good slap in the face! "
Xu Xu did not say anything this time, she thought so too. However, the murderer was too cunning, and his modus operandi was especially professional. Although the surveillance cameras had captured his appearance, it was unusually blurry. There were also eyewitnesses, but they could not explain anything clearly.
Ye Nan ordered to investigate the entire city and sort out the floating population. Especially those who entered Shangjiang after May, they had to conduct a thorough investigation.
It was easy to give orders, but it was really difficult to thoroughly investigate one or two million floating population with just the police force in Shangjiang.
Moreover, since the murderer had dealt with the Flying Dragon Society, it was very likely that he had already left Shangjiang. It was almost impossible to find him.
Zheng Zi muttered again, "I think there might be a problem with our train of thought, and we've been limited by ourselves. The murderer might not be a man, it could be a woman, or even an old man! "
Suddenly, Xu Xu's heart skipped a beat, and a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind. Indeed, there were some things in the world that could not be measured with ordinary logic.
She said to Zheng Zi, "Hurry up and eat, we'll look for Gao Zhengyang after we're done eating!"
Zheng Zi was very surprised, and her mouth was wide open. "Why should we look for him? Don't tell me you suspect that he's the murderer! "
"He's very suspicious!"
Xu Xu said matter-of-factly, "He has a grudge against the Flying Dragon Society, so he has the motive to do it. He's been practicing martial arts since he was young, so he has super explosive power and the ability to fight. He has the ability and the motive, isn't that suspicious enough?! "
"But, but, he's only seventeen …"
Zheng Zi still felt that it was impossible. Although Gao Zhengyang was not liked by many people, he looked very normal, so how could he be a murderer!
Most importantly, he was so professional, and this was not something that could be achieved just by knowing martial arts.
Zheng Zi thought for a while and said, "Let's not talk about anything else, the camera caught the murderer skillfully using a gun. This is something that Gao Zhengyang can't do. "
"How do you know that he can't do it?" Xu Xu asked.
Zheng Zi was stunned. Did she even have to say it? The Federation was extremely strict with the regulation of firearms, so how could ordinary people have the opportunity to use a gun? Not to mention that Gao Zhengyang was just a teenager. His identity and background were very clear, so how could he have the opportunity to touch a gun?
Xu Xu said, "What you said is common sense, but it's not absolute. So, we have to go and take a look. "
She said seriously, "This time, if Gao Zhengyang doesn't have a reasonable explanation, we'll have to have a good talk with him."
However, Zheng Zi felt that Xu Xu was very likely to take the opportunity to teach Gao Zhengyang a lesson. This was because Gao Zhengyang had been too close to Xu Xu recently!
After eating, the two of them drove to the martial arts center. When they pushed the door open, they saw Gao Zhengyang in the courtyard, and there was a chubby teenager practicing martial arts next to him.
From the looks of it, Gao Zhengyang seemed to be teaching people how to practice martial arts.
Xu Xu smiled and greeted Gao Zhengyang. "Long time no see, Gao Zhengyang."
Gao Zhengyang was a little confused. "What are the two of you doing here?"
Zheng Zi smiled and walked to Gao Zhengyang's side. "I'm here for a walk, I'm not welcome here."
Gao Zhengyang frowned slightly, it was obvious that he really did not welcome them.
On the other hand, Tong Sheng, who was practicing martial arts, stared at Xu Xu with his small eyes wide open. It was really rare to see such a beautiful woman.
Xu Xu glanced at Tong Sheng, but she did not care. She looked at Gao Zhengyang seriously, but she could not find any clues.
After not seeing him for a few days, Gao Zhengyang seemed to have become slightly stronger. The change was not very obvious. He was wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and casual shoes. His attire was simple and ordinary. More importantly, he looked calm. He did not pretend to be calm, nor did he flinch.
Everything was so natural. No matter how she looked at him, he was a handsome and tall young man. That was all.
Zheng Zi moved closer to Gao Zhengyang, then suddenly reached out to grab Gao Zhengyang's right hand. However, when Gao Zhengyang withdrew his hand, she did not even manage to touch it.
Gao Zhengyang looked at Zheng Zi in surprise. "What are you doing?"
Zheng Zi's sneak attack had failed, so she was a little embarrassed. However, she had been a police officer for a long time, so her skin was thick. She smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just testing your reaction. I couldn't tell, but you're pretty good! "
Xu Xu also walked over and asked politely, "Can you let me see your hand?"
Gao Zhengyang thought for a while, then extended his hand in front of Xu Xu.
Under the radiant spring sun, Gao Zhengyang's fingers were long and slender, and his hand shape was well-proportioned. The skin on his palm was ivory, delicate and moist. Other than the fact that it was not fair enough, it actually had a delicate sense of beauty that matched the proportions.
"Don't you practice boxing? Why don't you have calluses on your palm?" Xu Xu asked in surprise.
Gao Zhengyang glanced at her and said indifferently, "This is a type of martial arts, you don't understand."
Zheng Zi leaned over like a puppy and sniffed Gao Zhengyang's fingers, but she only smelled the clean and gentle scent of soap.
Xu Xu pushed Zheng Zi's head. This woman was not reliable at all. Even if there was gunpowder residue, the human nose would not be able to smell it. Moreover, the murderer was definitely wearing gloves. If he went back and washed it, there wouldn't be gunpowder residue.
She looked into Gao Zhengyang's eyes and asked seriously, "Where were you last night?"
Gao Zhengyang was a little displeased. "That's none of your business!"
Xu Xu said, "As Xu Xu's sister, I must know the answer to this question."
Gao Zhengyang was very calm and did not seem surprised at all. He thought for a while and said, "Alright, for Xu Xu's sake, I can answer you. I stayed at home last night. "
"Can anyone testify?" Xu Xu asked.
Zheng Zi also became nervous. Gao Zhengyang lived alone, so there was definitely no one who could testify. Being questioned by Xu Xu like this, this child might get angry!
Gao Zhengyang did not say anything and pointed at Tong Hu.
Tong Hu was also smart. Although he did not know what was going on, he said straightforwardly, "I stayed here last night, I can testify that Gao Zhengyang stayed at home the whole time."
This time, Xu Xu was really a little surprised. She looked at Gao Zhengyang deeply and said after a moment of silence, "Sorry to disturb you."
As soon as they walked out of the door, Zheng Zi could not wait to say, "This is such a coincidence. We'll have to ask that fatty later, there must be something wrong!"
Xu Xu nodded. She had to ask that fatty properly. It would be fine if Gao Zhengyang did not have anyone to testify, but if he really had someone to testify, then something was wrong!
