Chapter 120 Chapter 120 Chatting is like this

Qiu Jiang was really curious about how bad the situation could be to make them so heartbroken.

It was a pity that the car had been towed to the repair shop and had not returned yet, so it was impossible for her to witness it with her own eyes.

But she could still feel the danger from their words during the day, so she really wanted to know what the specific case was like.

They were all colleagues in the team, and there was nothing to be ashamed of, so everyone lowered their voices and spoke to her in a low voice.

"Didn't we receive word that someone had been killed in the park that day? We rushed over there right away. The second team also arrived at the time. They told us this was the third death this month, and two others had already died before that."

"The third case?" Qiu Jiang didn't understand.

If it's a separate case, there's no need to emphasize it's the third, unless...

She frowned and asked, "Could it be a serial murder case?"

"clever."

Qiu Jiang took a deep breath. She never expected that just this short time after the last serial murder case was solved and the murderer was sentenced to death, another serial murder case would occur in Anxi City.

This happens a bit too often.

How could they not know what she was thinking?

Therefore, when they first arrived at the scene and heard about the case, they were no less surprised than she was.

However, the evidence presented by Team Two convinced them.

"What evidence?"

Qiu Jiang asked hurriedly.

"arrogant."

"fury."

"Lust."

Wang Li and the other three said a word one after another.

This word doesn't sound positive at first glance.

Could it be that the murderer felt that the deceased had committed sins in these areas, so he acted as a judge and killed the deceased?

"As expected of our team, she's smart, that's all."

"Do you know the origin of these three words?" Jia Wang asked her.

Qiu Jiang shook her head. "Isn't this just human greed? Where else could it come from?"

Seeing that he had finally stumped her this time, Jia Wang felt quite a sense of accomplishment.

Seeing their mysterious expressions, she became even more anxious. "Come on, tell me what's going on?"

Seeing her anxious, they stopped teasing her. Wang Li asked her, "Have you read The Seven Deadly Sins?"

"Seven deadly sins?"

She repeated the sentence, then pondered for a long time before finally coming up with a clue. She hesitated and said, "It seems to be a foreign movie that came out in the past two years. It should be about crime. I haven't seen it yet."

They certainly wouldn't ask her this for no reason. Qiu Jiang was shocked after she finished speaking. "You mean someone imitated the cases in the Seven Deadly Sins to kill people?"

"Smart, very smart."

They kept praising her and never got to the point. She felt like she would be dying of anxiety if she waited for them to finish.

Only then did Ji Mingcheng speak.

"The seven deadly sins refer to pride, envy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust. They are concepts proposed by foreign religious doctrines."

"The movie 'Seven Deadly Sins' released overseas two years ago tells the story of a murder case in which an extremist religious element kills victims with corresponding characteristics based on these seven sins."

"The reason why this is the third case is because all three victims had notes labeled with their corresponding crimes taped to their bodies."

"In the first case, the victim had the word 'arrogance' written on his back, in the second, 'rage', and in this case, the word 'lust' written on his back. According to the investigation, the deceased was married, but had an ambiguous relationship with his cousin's husband. They were seen frequently entering and leaving the hotel, which may be why the murderer applied this label to his back.

"Based on these notes, it's hard not to think of the Seven Deadly Sins. Team Two suspects the killer has gone insane from watching movies, believing himself to be a moralist, and will surely commit more crimes. The higher-ups want us to solve this case quickly, so they've asked our team, which handles serial murder cases, to get involved."

He briefly explained what happened.

Qiu Jiang suddenly understood.

I finally understood why the leaders of the bureau suddenly called Captain Ji away and asked him to get involved in other teams' cases.

After all, this doesn't seem normal no matter how you look at it, but if it happens to be another serial murder case, it's not difficult to understand.

"How was the murderer caught?" She was more curious about this at the moment.

After all, the murderer gave people the impression that he had a high level of education, and he had committed three crimes yet could not be caught. At the very least, his investigative and counter-investigation capabilities must be quite strong. It would not be an easy task to catch such a murderer.

But they solved it in less than a day. What happened?

Her mind was now filled with curiosity, and she stared at Ji Mingcheng, waiting for his answer.

This time, he fell silent, raised a bottle of mineral water and drank quietly.

Qiu Jiang was puzzled and felt it was very strange.

However, she immediately knew the reason why Ji Mingcheng kept silent. It was simply because Jia Wang and the others were too talkative.

Just as she was about to continue asking, she saw Jia Wang and the others' eyes lit up, and they pulled her aside and started chattering non-stop.

"That murderer was more arrogant than anyone else. He didn't leave after killing someone, but instead hid in the crowd to admire his actions. At first, none of us thought that the well-mannered, seemingly polite and knowledgeable young man could be the murderer. But our Captain Ji was very sharp-eyed."

Jia Wang leaned in and said, "There was some bloody skin tissue between the deceased's fingernails. It's almost certain it was left there during a struggle with the murderer. Let's search the crowd one by one. We actually found two people with nail wounds. Now we have the suspects. Who knew that one was scratched by his girlfriend in anger, and the other was grabbed by the girl behind him while riding the roller coaster. We can even find witnesses in both cases."

"At that time, we thought the murderer had already escaped. Who knew that Captain Ji suddenly walked up to the young man I just mentioned and asked him to remove the plaster on his left hand. He actually wanted to do it, but just when we thought he was about to take it off, he suddenly ran away. He ran very fast, and the way he waved his left arm as he ran away didn't look like he was injured at all."

"We immediately gave chase, but we couldn't catch up with him. He even stole a car and escaped. Captain Ji took us to continue the pursuit. Fortunately, Captain Ji's driving skills were very good, and he kept close to him, so he could never get rid of us. In addition, the car of the second team also caught up with him. He probably knew he couldn't escape, so he slowed down. At that time, we thought he would surrender..."

"Who knew he was so ruthless? Seeing he couldn't escape, he turned around and rammed Captain Ji's car. It was so utterly unprepared. Luckily, Captain Ji swerved quickly, so we weren't hurt. But Captain Ji's car was in terrible shape. Both windows were shattered, and the body of the car had lots of dents and debris."

Qiu Jiang's breathing quickened as he listened, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened next? Was the murderer caught?"

"Of course. Captain Ji's car had just avoided being hit, and we were still in a daze when he jumped out and shot at the tires. Then everyone swarmed over. Even if he had supernatural powers, he wouldn't have been able to escape."

Jia Wang spoke with extraordinary vigor, and Qiu Jiang was so moved that she immediately applauded.

"Wow, that's amazing."

Her palms were sore from clapping that she looked at Ji Mingcheng, who was pretending to be deep, and asked with sparkling eyes, "Captain Ji, how did you find out he was the murderer?"

Ji Mingcheng coughed lightly, "Want to know?"

"Thinking about it." She said hurriedly.

In fact, not only she wanted to know, but Wang Li and the others also wanted to know. The person who was originally eating the skewers didn't even care about eating the meat. He was just licking his ears and stretching his head, waiting for him to reveal the secret.

"intuition."

Qiu Jiang and the others were dumbfounded.

This answer can’t be said to be wrong, but it always feels a bit perfunctory.

They kept insisting, "Captain Ji, how did you figure that out? Tell us."

Seeing that they really wanted to know, Ji Mingcheng finally told them the final answer.

"Because of the bandages."

"bandage?"

Wang Li and the others repeated it, but they couldn't figure out how he could tell through the bandage.

Qiu Jiang was not at the scene, so it was even more unclear.

Ji Mingcheng then said, "The murderer cut the words neatly, without any crookedness. It can be seen that he is a very meticulous person with high requirements for details."

"The two suspected suspects found at the scene were dressed very casually, primarily for comfort. One of them didn't even have a pair of socks, so the murderer definitely couldn't be either of them."

"That's when I started observing the others. This guy had an injured left arm and was wrapped in plaster, so I wouldn't have suspected him. But he had a big flaw."

"What is it?" someone asked.

Ji Mingcheng said, "This man is very well-dressed. His clothes are neatly dressed, with hardly a wrinkle. His shoelaces are even tied meticulously. Even if a leaf falls on him, he sweeps it away with disdain and wipes his hands with a tissue. He looks like a very clean person, even a mysophobe. Yet, the bandage on his plaster is crooked and even a little loose. It's totally inconsistent with his behavior."

"If I were him, I would never allow myself to be tied up with such a non-standard bandage. He was frowning from time to time, and although his movements were very concealed, his eyes still inadvertently fell on his arm. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the bandage, but he endured it and didn't ask anyone to help him change it. Tell me, if there was no strange thing, why would he do this? So I tested him."

Ji Mingcheng took another sip of water.

"That's it."

After listening to what he said, Qiu Jiang also nodded.

"Indeed, this guy is very strange, but I guess few people can notice this, so Team Ji is still the best."

Qiu Jiang said sincerely.

She also felt that even if she was at the scene, she might not be able to observe this.

She originally thought that after so much time had passed, she would be a capable criminal police officer, but compared with their team, she felt that she still had a lot to learn.

I have to work harder in the future.

She cheered herself up in her heart.

At the same time, Qiu Jiang also told them about what was happening on their side.

When they heard that the police academy’s gun was almost lost, they almost spit out water.

"What the hell?"

Someone spoke a little louder.

Qiu Jiang quickly shushed him and told him to calm down.

They wanted to calm down, but they just couldn't.

Everyone knows how big a deal it would be if a gun was lost. It would be a serious matter that would likely lead to criticism from everyone from top to bottom.

This kind of situation has happened before. Not only was it used as a negative example for many years, but it was also an advanced unit that was not selected at all.

This shows how serious the matter of losing a gun is.

What’s more, this is a case of a gun being lost at the police academy.

A police academy, the cradle of police officers, actually had an incident of gun loss there, which is even more shameful than a police station or a brigade losing guns.

If it is not handled properly, the entire school may have to undergo a collective review.

Even though they knew the gun was finally recovered, their hearts were still pounding.

After all, no one knows whether there is only one gun lost, and if it is found out that other guns are lost.

It's even worse.

Ji Mingcheng had been listening to her carefully. He hadn't expected that they would encounter such a thing. He praised her and said, "This matter is very complicated. You handled it very well. Let them worry about the other things."

Qiu Jiang nodded.

Fortunately, she thought so at the time, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

"Fortunately, both sides handled the matter well."

Jia Wang and the others were also worried about them.

"But that person is really a bit of a problem. He actually suspected you of using a backdoor, without even checking your competition results this morning. Who can get such impressive results by using a backdoor?"

"That's right. Our team's performance is obvious to all. Even the provincial capital has praised us. How can he be suspicious? And he even dared to steal a gun from the police academy. He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey."

The others also nodded, they really couldn't understand Sang Le's train of thought.

"Okay, now that everything is over, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's eat quickly. If it gets cold, the boss won't be busy enough to heat it up."

Ji Mingcheng pointed at the crowded crowd around him and the boss who was extremely busy.

Suddenly, I didn't say anything and just lowered my head to eat the skewers.

They ate with their mouths full of oil, feeling that all the hard work of the day was worth it.

"It smells really good. The boss's cooking skills are incredible."

"Burp, who said it wasn't?"

"It's just too far from my home. If it were closer, I would definitely bring my wife over for a meal. She's recently gotten pregnant and is over her morning sickness, so she wants to have some good barbecue. Unfortunately, the barbecue here isn't very good."

"It's hard to say, just buy it and take it back."

"You don't know this, but after my wife got pregnant, she couldn't eat anything I brought back. She could only eat what I had watched being cooked, otherwise she would definitely vomit. This has happened many times, and I don't dare to take the risk again."

"Oh my god, this happens during pregnancy?"

"That's not great, but I guess only my wife behaves this strangely after she got pregnant. None of my sisters-in-law are like my wife, so I guess I can only wait until she gives birth to the baby before I can bring her here to satisfy her craving."

"That's true. It's coming soon anyway."

"Hey, I've been waiting for this day."

On the way to disbanding, everyone chatted leisurely, which was a rare change from the tense case handling during the day and a sense of lightness.

I can't help but wish there were more days like this.

Don't have so many cases.
