"The murderer has committed three consecutive crimes, and the victims are all young women. The intervals between the crimes are getting shorter and shorter, so it's highly likely that he's a serial killer," Ding Xifeng said solemnly.
"Everyone, please be careful during the investigation. This murderer is very dangerous."
Then, Ding Xifeng glanced around the conference room. "Leader Han, since you're here, don't hide it anymore. Say a few words."
Han Bin organized his words. "I've given Wang Siyu's brother a statement, and I understand some of Wang Siyu's situation.
Wang Siyu is single and currently lives alone. She's a dance teacher now, and her dream is to become an actress.
Wang Siyu's parents are old, and Wang Siyu's brother suggested that we not tell them about the situation for the time being. However, Wang Siyu's brother also asked his parents, and they've never seen Wang Siyu before.
"According to Wang Siyu's brother, the house in Baiziyuan District was rented by Wang Siyu. He doesn't know about Wang Siyu's short videos. "
"So, I'm also inclined to believe that Wang Siyu is under the control of the suspect, and the situation is more critical."
Ding Xifeng thought about it and said, "What do you think about tracking down the murderer and Wang Siyu's whereabouts?"
"Since the murderer has been in contact with the Internet and contacted the victims through the Internet, I think there must be some clues left behind. I suggest that we find out the murderer's identity first," Han Bin said.
"Sure, you can follow this clue." Ding Xifeng nodded.
Zeng Ping tracked down the surveillance, and Han Bin tracked down the Internet. It could be considered a two-pronged approach. No matter which of them made any progress, they would still be able to catch the murderer.
Ding Xifeng continued to ask, "Is there any new progress in the investigation of the others?"
Ma Jingbo cleared his throat. "I went to the technical department, and Wang Siyu's phone number has been disconnected, so we can't locate her.
"Also, I asked them to print out a list of Wang Siyu's phone numbers, and so far, they haven't found any suspicious contacts.
"After comparing the three cases, I also found some characteristics of the suspect. First of all, this suspect has a certain anti-detection ability, and he hid his identity very well.
"Also, the suspect should be young, handsome, and has a certain financial ability."
He Yingsheng from Team Two asked, "Captain Ma, we haven't found the suspect's identity yet. How did you know?"
"I haven't seen the suspect, nor have I found out his identity. But according to the details of the case, I can still analyze the situation." Ma Jingbo smiled and explained.
"The reason why I said that the suspect is young is because of practical considerations. I occasionally look at the headlines, but I only read some news. I don't really understand the function of private messaging, let alone use it."
"The suspect knows this app very well and is very familiar with it. He shouldn't be too old."
"As for the suspect's good looks, that's based on Zhou Jingjing's view of choosing a mate.
"This girl, Zhou Jingjing, likes handsome men. To put it bluntly, she's a bit of a love-struck fool. She might even ignore an average-looking man."
"But meeting a handsome man is a different story. She likes handsome men, and it's easier for her to lower her guard. This is probably why she was willing to follow the killer to the rooftop."
"As for the reason why I said that the killer has a certain financial ability, it's because he only kills and doesn't rob. Also, his vehicle of transportation is a Mercedes-Benz."
"Of course, this analysis is based on the existing evidence and clues, so it might not be accurate."
Ding Xifeng took a note and looked up. "What you said does make some sense. Everyone can learn from this in the process of tracking the suspect."
"Does anyone else have anything to say?"
After waiting for a while, no one responded. Ding Xifeng continued, "Since you guys don't want to say anything, I'll say a few words."
"As for the killer's identity, I've just said that the suspect is most likely a serial killer. He has a specific target and killing method."
"Also, this suspect is very cunning. He has been learning, exploring, and growing."
Ding Xifeng walked to the whiteboard and wrote down the names of the three victims. "The first victim is Zhou Jingjing. The date of the crime was June 28th, and the time of death was 15 to 18 days earlier, which is between June 10th and June 13th."
"Zhou Jingjing and the second Lu Jingfang have some common characteristics. They both participated in the variety show 'Let's Generate Electricity Together'. I suspect that the murderer probably met them through this show."
"There's another common characteristic, which is the dog paw prints. This is also the point that I want to focus on. When the murderer killed Lu Jingfang, he wore shoes with dog paw prints, which made it difficult for the police to analyze his physical characteristics through the footprints."
"I think that wearing dog paw prints to commit crimes is something that he probably learned from the first case."
"Then, let's talk about the third case, the suspected kidnapping of Wang Siyu."
"Wang Siyu's case has a lot in common with the previous two cases. For example, they're all young women, and they all committed the crime in a Mercedes-Benz. However, there's also a difference. She didn't appear on 'Let's Generate Electricity Together', nor did she appear on TV."
"According to my analysis, the suspect initially chose his victims through TV shows. Both Zhou Jingjing and Lu Jingfang did so. However, Lu Jingfang had another identity. She was an anchor on Toutiao. In order to get close to Lu Jingfang, the suspect also used a Toutiao account. "
"This allowed him to discover a new continent, where there were more beautiful women and more choices. And Wang Siyu is the new target that he chose to commit the crime in. "
"In conclusion, the suspect's method of committing crimes is similar, but every time he commits a crime, he will learn and change. This also makes him more cunning and dangerous. "
"His behavior is consistent with the characteristics of a serial killer."
"I've said this before. The reason why I'm repeating it is to tell everyone that serial killers won't stop easily, and Wang Siyu won't be the last victim."
"I don't need to say more about what this means, right?"
Ding Xifeng stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked down at everyone. "I don't care about other places, but this is Qin Island!"
"Understood?"
Everyone answered. "Understood."
"I can't hear you."
Everyone shouted, "Understood!"
Ding Xifeng glanced at his watch. "Meeting adjourned. Han Bin, stay behind."
Everyone got up and left.
Some of the team members looked at Han Bin with surprise and envy.
It was definitely an honor to be asked to stay behind by the Captain.
Han Bin wasn't too surprised. He could more or less guess why Ding Xifeng asked him to stay behind.
After everyone left, Han Bin walked over. "Captain."
Ding Xifeng pointed at the chair next to him and gestured for Han Bin to sit down. "How's the investigation of the case leak?"
"It's clear."
Han Bin had already thought of an excuse in advance. "The instigator is the host of the show 'Let's Generate Electricity Together', Zhang Yibin. He wanted to use Zhou Jingjing and Lu Jingfang's death to increase the exposure and ratings of the show, so he ordered Brother Gang and the others to post relevant information about the case on the website."
"He has voluntarily admitted to the crime."
"Good job." Ding Xifeng showed a satisfied expression. "Those anchors have hundreds of thousands of fans, and their influence is no less than that of a TV host. They should indeed be monitored, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble will happen in the future."
Han Bin echoed, "You're right."
"Oh right, there's one more thing I want to tell you. There's a training class for 2020 outstanding police officers on the 4th of July, and our city's Criminal Investigation Unit also has a spot. You can gain knowledge and increase your qualifications. I want to recommend you to go. "
"The day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, what do you think?"
"Can you postpone it?"
Ding Xifeng shook his head slightly. "What are you thinking? Do you think the class is for you alone?"
Han Bin was a little conflicted. The training represented qualifications and opportunities for improvement. If he didn't go, he would inevitably feel a little disappointed.
If he went, the case was only halfway through and the murderer hadn't been caught yet. What would his colleagues think if he ran away like that? How would he face the victims' families?
Han Bin still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. "Captain, thank you for giving me a chance, but in this situation … I'd better not go."
"Why?"
"The case isn't over yet. What's the point of me leaving?"
Ding Xifeng smiled. "You're the only one who can. Without you, we can't solve the case."
"That's not what I meant … I just feel that my responsibility hasn't been fulfilled yet."
"Not bad. You're responsible." Ding Xifeng patted Han Bin's shoulder. "Go ahead. I'll see what I can do."
"Oh." Han Bin responded and walked out of the conference room, feeling a little worried.
After closing the door, Han Bin had a complicated expression on his face. However, his footsteps became firmer.
Being a police officer wasn't just a profession, but it was also a responsibility.
In the meeting room.
Ding Xifeng took out his phone and dialed a number. "Hello, Chief Feng. This is Ding Xifeng."
Feng Baoguo's voice came from the other end of the phone. "I know. Go ahead."
"There's new progress in the 626 joint case. I want to report it to you in person," Ding Xifeng paused and continued.
"Also, I've already thought about the candidate for the deputy captain of Second Squadron."
