Report

The next day, Ye Zixiao really caught a cold. He sneezed in the morning and felt dizzy. When he arrived at the company, he naturally did not look too good.

When the people below saw the young master's unhappy face today, they tactfully did not step forward. Ye Zixiao had some peace and quiet. He slept in the office for the whole morning and felt refreshed at noon.

Speaking of which, the entire company was a little unsure of Ye Zixiao's temper.

The Ye family established the Longxi Group, which had subsidiaries such as Longxi Construction, Longxi Transportation, and Longxi Electronics. The current chairman and president of the group was Ye Lanyuan. Ye Zixiao was his youngest son. He had just returned from studying abroad last year and became the CEO of Longxi Electronics.

Ye Zixiao was very casual with everyone and did not put on airs. When he saw the cleaning lady in the corridor, he would smile and say hello. However, he was quite domineering when it came to work. If someone did not meet his requirements? They would be fired!

The secretary said no, President Ye, this person was your brother's high school classmate and that person was the secretary of the chairman. Ye Zixiao said, "Okay, I got it."

Then, he did what he had to do. No matter who called to plead, his father, Ye Lanyuan, even lost his temper once. He said that we were a family business that was complicated and that you would shake the foundation. Ye Zixiao said, "Dad, do you know how most family businesses in the country die? They die of old age. Since you gave Longxi Electronics to me, I will do whatever I want. "

He was also a reckless person in the company's business. He invested a lot of money to introduce some foreign technology projects. Some made a lot of money, but some lost a lot. However, after a year, he still made more money than he lost. It could be considered a spiral in the midst of ups and downs.

Because of the big age difference and the fact that he went abroad at a young age, his brothers and sisters were not very close to him. However, his cousin, Ye Zixi, had studied abroad with him for a few years and they got along very well.

At noon that day, Ye Zixiao lazily ate the patient's meal prepared by his secretary when Ye Zixi called.

"What were the consequences of stopping her yesterday?" Ye Zixi's every word seemed to be a smile.

Ye Zixiao raised his eyebrows. "You said 'consequences', not 'results'. Did you expect that I would be destroyed by her? Congratulations, you guessed it right. She didn't even bother to look at me. "

Zixi laughed for a while and said seriously, "She is completely different from your previous girlfriends."

Ye Zixiao replied, "It's different."

Zixi didn't bring it up again. Just as she was about to ask him about the finances, Ye Zixiao said, "Give me some advice. Doesn't she eat the food you give her every day?"

Zixi smiled. "That's different. You have ulterior motives for her."

"Do you have the heart to let your savior miss out on a good man like me?"

Zixi could not help but laugh. She pondered for a moment before answering, "Let me point you in the right direction. Xu Xu had an older brother who owned an accounting firm. You've met him before. He came to the group to bid. "

Ye Zixiao thought for a moment. "Xu Juan?"

"Yes."

Ye Zixiao: "Has the company decided to hire him?"

"Probably." Ye Zixi replied, "His office is the best in the entire southwest."

Ye Zixiao suddenly laughed. "I have an impression of Xu Juan. He's a smart person. I didn't expect him to have such a strange sister."

Ye Zixi just smiled.

After hanging up, he thought for a moment and called his secretary. "I heard that there's an accounting firm that's in talks with us. It's a good idea. Make an appointment with the person in charge. I'll treat him to a meal. It's time to sort out our company's accounts. "

***

For the next few days, Ye Zixiao did not go to Xu Xu. However, Xu Xu did not remember his existence.

On Monday morning, the Criminal Police Unit held a meeting to discuss the direction of the investigation of the park case. The backbone of the various sub-bureaus also attended the meeting.

The sunlight was very good and the big round wooden table was glossy and soft. However, everyone's expression was very serious. The bureau chief had already ordered that the criminal must be arrested within five days. However, after discussing for half an hour, there was still no conclusion.

Some people thought that the criminal was very familiar with the park's environment and was probably a park staff member. However, according to the preliminary screening results, no suspects were found.

Some people also suggested that the criminal committed the crime in the park near the CBD. It was obvious that he hated the rich, so they should focus on the city's unemployed and low-income people. However, this proposal was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Some people also said that the five-pointed star at the scene had a symbolic meaning. The criminal was most likely imitating the criminal's way of committing a crime abroad. It could be a prank by a troubled teenager who was obsessed with crime novels.

Some people even said that the CBD was a gathering place for people with high IQs. Perhaps it was an act of revenge by a white-collar worker who could not withstand the pressure.

There were many different opinions, but they were plausible.

It was customary for Xu Xu and Yao Meng to attend such an important meeting. The two of them sat at the two most inconspicuous seats at the round table. Xu Xu buried herself in the meeting notes while Yao Meng listened very seriously.

However, the deputy bureau chief and captain of the criminal police, Liu Zhixun, was very open-minded. He kindly said to the two girls, "Xiao Yao, Xiao Xu, if you have any opinions, you can also express them."

Yao Meng's face was a little red as she said, "Chief Liu, colleagues, what everyone said is very reasonable. It has benefited me a lot and also touched some of my ideas. I would like to add three points. If I'm wrong, please criticize and correct me.

First, this criminal should not be old, he should not be more than 25 years old.

Second, he has a certain antisocial personality characteristics. This kind of person is often a failure in life and is unlikely to be a CBD elite. They could focus on arresting unemployed people or low-paid workers.

Third, the criminal has not committed a crime for three days. I think he will do it soon. However, it is very likely that he will change his crime location. Since his target is obviously the CBD elite, we can predict where he will commit the crime. The subway's surveillance facilities are very good, so it is unlikely that he will do it. What is more suitable for him is the shuttle bus that runs through the CBD area. There are not many of these routes, so I suggest that we increase the police force, maybe we can catch a turtle in a jar.

Everyone nodded at her words, especially the third point. Chief Liu and her master, Officer Wu, both laughed. Officer Wu said, "When I spoke to Chief Liu on the phone this morning, I also considered this possibility, so I'm preparing to increase the manpower today."

Chief Liu said, "Xiao Yao, it's very good that you can think of this."

Yao Meng sat down with a solemn expression, but her cheeks became even redder. Xu Xu did not stay outside all day like her for the past few days. Although the direction of her opinion was not quite the same as what she had thought, she felt that it made sense.

"Xiao Xu, do you have any opinions?" Chief Liu asked.

Everyone looked over.

Originally, when the two girls reported, everyone paid more attention to Yao Meng. Their impression of Xu Xu was that she was a thin, quiet, and introverted girl. Of course, she was also a little strange.

However, Xu Xu had been in the limelight for the past few days. Not only did she save the famous Ye Zixi, but the entire Criminal Police Unit also benefited from her and ate imported fruits for a week.

Xu Xu nodded. "I have an opinion." Then, she stood up and flipped open the notebook in her hand.

Xu Xu wrote a detailed report last night about the analysis of the case and sent it to Ji Bai early in the morning. However, Ji Bai only replied with two words, "Read it."

After that, Xu Xu showed it to Zhao Han. Zhao Han was very impressed and advised her, "During the meeting tomorrow, not only do you have to talk about the conclusion, but you also have to talk about the reasoning process. Also, you have to speak slowly, otherwise, your psychological analysis will sound very mysterious and difficult to understand. "

Xu Xu readily followed his advice and prepared a detailed analysis process for today.

"I analyzed from three aspects: the crime scene, the victim's behavior, and the criminal's behavior. At the same time, I considered the time of the crime, the tools used, the motive, and the data on crimes against public security in recent years …" She spoke slowly according to Zhao Han's advice.

Chief Liu glanced at the clock on the wall and smiled. "Xiao Xu, go straight to the conclusion."

Xu Xu answered, "Yes." She closed the notebook and pondered for a while.

"First, the criminal is a male, between 18 to 25 years old, with a high school education.

Second, he works in the CBD as a security guard.

Third, his work performance is not good, and in the past six months, he has been severely punished at work. He was not on duty last Saturday morning.

Fourth, he has a relatively irritable personality. He should have violated the law when he was a teenager, or at least been severely punished by the school. When he was young, he encountered major changes, such as family decline, or parents divorce. None, or he only had a very superficial love relationship. "

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone became quiet and no one spoke for a long time. Finally, Yao Meng's master, Officer Wu, asked, "So, we are looking for a single security guard in the CBD who is between 18 to 25 years old, has a high school education, has been punished in the past six months, and is not on duty last Saturday?"

Xu Xu replied, "Yes." She blushed again, her pale skin was so thin that it looked like it was soaked in rouge. However, her eyes were still so quiet that it made people's hearts tremble for no reason.

Chief Liu smiled gently with a hint of seriousness. "Xiao Xu, tell us about the analysis process."

***

Lin City was in full swing, but Ji Bai was very leisurely and carefree. In the evening, he was fishing in the suburbs with Shu Hang and a few others. Just as he sat down on the bow deck, his phone rang. He had received a message.

It was Little Zheng, a young criminal police officer from the Eastern District Sub-Bureau. "Captain Ji, I've benefited a lot from the meeting at the municipal bureau today. You're really a great teacher who produces a great disciple."

Ji Bai usually went to the grassroots level, so he was very familiar with the criminal police officers. Just as he was about to reply, the fishing rod in his hand sank. He had bitten the bait.

When he was done with the big fish, he picked up his phone again. In just a short while, he had received four or five messages.

Old Zhao from the Western District replied, "Captain Ji, I didn't know that you've taken in a disciple. Congratulations. "

East District's Little Xu: "Brother Bai, your disciple's performance today has shocked all of us! Awesome! "

"Captain Ji, when are you going to accept me as your disciple?"

"Old Ji, I'm so jealous. You have another valiant general under your command! Most importantly, it's a woman! "



"Third Brother, what are you looking at so intently?" someone beside him asked.

Ji Bai did not answer, nor did he call Xu Xu to ask what had happened. Instead, he replied to all the people who sent him messages.

"Xu Xu doesn't have much experience. For my sake, please forgive her."

***

When the sky turned dark the next day, Xu Xu stared blankly at the computer.

Most of the people in the office had already left. After a few days of searching, Chief Liu allowed everyone to go home to sleep for the night and report on time the next morning. Zhao Han packed his things and walked over to her. "Xu Xu, go home and rest first."

Xu Xu slowly raised her head and glanced at him, then slowly shifted her gaze back to the computer screen. She did not say anything, but slowly waved her right hand to say goodbye.

Zhao Han looked at her pale side profile that was covered by the light from the computer screen, sighed, and left. After a while, Yao Meng, who was sitting opposite her, also stood up with her bag. Her gaze was filled with pity. "Xu Xu, go home. You've been here for a day and a night. It's not your fault that you analyzed wrongly and couldn't catch the suspect. Anyone can make a mistake. "

Xu Xu answered her with an almost inaudible "hmm".

Yao Meng walked over and patted her shoulder, but she did not move. Yao Meng had no choice but to leave. After leaving the police station, Yao Meng took out her phone and dialed Ji Bai's number.

"Captain Ji, it's me, Little Yao. There's nothing else … It's just … It's about Xu Xu. She's in low spirits, and I don't know if I should tell you … I think she needs encouragement now … Yes, it's about the case. You don't know about it since you're on vacation, right? She made some bold deductions, and Commissioner Liu decided to investigate according to her ideas. He sent a large number of police officers, but they didn't find any suspects. Her deductions were wrong, and she wasted a day's work … "

***

Xu Xu was confident in her conclusion, but she could not understand where she went wrong.

In the past 30 hours, the police conducted a large-scale investigation of the security guards in the CBD according to her description. In the end, they found 24 suspicious people.

Then, she followed the experienced criminal police to personally meet these people.

The answer was no. Not a single one of them was a suspect.

Firstly, they did not find any suspicious evidence at their residences, such as blades or photos of the scene. Secondly, most of them could provide an alibi. Thirdly, even if a few of them could not provide time witnesses, after Xu Xu and the old criminal police interrogated them, they all believed that they were calm and had no motive to commit a crime.

The criminal police team was exhausted, but they found nothing. Commissioner Liu said that he was the one who decided the direction of the investigation, so he came to report to the station chief. No one had any complaints, and no one blamed Xu Xu for her mistakes.

However, Xu Xu remained silent. After returning to the office, she only buried herself in checking her data and analyzing the process over and over again.

As the night deepened, the whole building seemed to have fallen into a deep silence.

Xu Xu's eyes were already a little blurry, and her brain seemed to be in a daze as it began to protest. However, today's failure was like a stiff piece of expired bread that was stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.

Lying on the table, she decided to take a short nap before continuing.

Although she was very tired, she slept very lightly. The faces of the suspects and a few scenes from the crime scenes automatically flashed in her mind. In a daze, she heard the phone ringing. It sounded like it came from a dream, and it kept ringing.

Xu Xu quivered and woke up. She opened her blurry eyes.

It was the landline on her desk. The caller ID was Ji Bai.

Xu Xu glanced at the clock on the wall. It was twelve o 'clock.

It seemed like he was calling about the case.

Was he scolding her? That was also a normal reaction.

Xu Xu picked up the phone. "Captain Ji."

Ji Bai's voice was cold. "Are you facing the wall to reflect?"

Xu Xu was silent. Indeed, she was facing the wall to reflect.

"Yes. I want to figure out where I went wrong. "

He said faintly, "Who said that you were wrong? Did I say that? Are you so eager to admit your mistake? "

Xu Xu was slightly stunned, and then she heard him say, "Now, report to me your analysis process."

"It's all in the email."

Ji Bai paused for a moment, and then she heard the click of the mouse. Then, Xu Xu heard him say slowly, "You mean this report with thirty thousand words, twelve charts, and seventeen attachments? I want you to dictate it. "

Xu Xu frowned. "Why?" Digital things were more precise than words.

"Anything can be explained clearly in one minute. If it can't be explained clearly, it only means that you haven't thought it through thoroughly. Since you're so good at complicating simple things, I'll give you two minutes. "
