Chapter 25: Cold-blooded animal "murder" case.
Lin Meiqi had no choice but to stay, curious about what he wanted to say to her. During this time, Lin Meiqi politely declined Feng Charlie's request to drive her back, and stayed until the end.
After everyone left, she quietly went into Mingyi's house and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Mingyi said: "You have made a great contribution to this matter. You discovered the crazy fan group, right?"
Lin Meiqi blinked her eyes and said, "I just happened to be getting a haircut and saw it."
"Whether it was an accident or not, you and He Wanyi entered the group, found the group, and tried to stop a singer from falling. Although you were just a little short, you discovered the murderer in time and prevented more victims. I should thank you."
Lin Meiqi was a little embarrassed by what he said: "It seems that I did participate in a few nodes, but the visits and arrests were all done by other police officers. As your fans, and girls, it was easier for me and He Wanyi to blend into that group."
“I’m glad that you’re my fan, that you like my work, or… that you like me as a person.”
Lin Meiqi took two steps back.
Do you like him as a person?
In fact, Lin Meiqi had never thought about this question. Maybe she prefers the one who is full of energy and radiance, works hard on the set, and interprets the role with his own characteristics on the screen.
But that image and the man in front of him didn't seem to be exactly the same.
Because they were too close, she sometimes had a trance-like illusion. It’s hard to say that she likes the star herself, but she probably likes the symbol of the star more, or the extension of her role.
Seeing her evasive gaze, Ming Yi smiled: "Nothing, I'm just going abroad, you know. As an idol, I actually have selfish motives and don't want my fans to like others."
Lin Meiqi nodded. She understood this. It was just like what people said in later generations, that it was the same as not liking fans to cheat. The more walls fans have, the more disadvantageous it is to the idol.
"So in the next few years, you can keep looking through my works and try to remember what I look like. It's best not to fall in love with other stars."
Lin Meiqi blinked, obviously a little nervous, because Mingyi was walking towards her step by step.
Lin Meiqi kept backing away, and finally the two of them were still fixed at a certain distance.
"I just wanted to thank you in person. Well, I have nothing else to do now, you can go home. Oh, I remember your home seems to be far away from here, then I will take you back."
"No, no." Lin Meiqi said hurriedly, "I rode my own bicycle."
She turned to Ming Yi and asked, "When are you leaving? Oh, I mean, you're going abroad to study."
"It will be very quick. We will leave next week."
After saying goodbye to Mingyi, Lin Meiqi returned home.
The weekend has begun.
Eat a variety of ice cream downstairs, delicious. With nothing to do, I just watched TV and slept at home. What a pleasant two days!
On Monday, Lin Meiqi rode her bicycle again, stopped at the streets along the way, and arrived at the bowl-shaped cake shop.
"Boss, two servings of bowl cakes, please."
After handing over the money, the boss put the steaming hot, freshly made bowl cake into a paper bag and handed it to Lin Meiqi: "Here again? Today I'll give you a fruity taste!"
Lin Meiqi just got it and took a bite: "It's delicious, boss."
As she was talking, she walked away and suddenly heard a scream, "Ah——"
"what happens?"
She subconsciously looked in the direction where the shouting came from and saw a commotion in front of a store.
Everyone fled: "Could it be that we met criminals on the road?"
Lin Meiqi ran over quickly and saw a small yellow snake in front of the store.
Unlike the poisonous snake she encountered last time she climbed the mountain, this one was non-venomous and looked like a yellow-backed water snake.
In this season, I like to run outside, but I didn’t expect to run into this busy city.
Lin Meiqi took a deep breath. She was not afraid of poisonous snakes.
The last time, he injured his leg while fleeing in a hurry to avoid a poisonous snake. However, the injury left a shadow in his heart.
Encountering this snake, she could only stop and move forward with gritted teeth.
"Hiss--" The snake moved forward with its tongue spitting out. Lin Meiqi subconsciously took two steps back.
"Get out of the way!"
At this time, a big man with rough skin came forward and picked up a wooden stick from somewhere, which happened to be forked at the front end.
"Give me a sack."
A boss quickly took out his bag of miscellaneous items and handed it to the man.
The man stepped forward and skillfully held the snake's seven inches with the wooden fork. He then wrapped his arm around the snake's tail, lifted the snake up, quickly threw it into the sack, and tied the sack tightly.
"Okay, isn't that enough? Don't be so nervous. A snake bite is nothing to worry about. It's not poisonous."
The shop owner was amazed and said, "Wow, how dare you?"
"Because I'm a snake breeder, and I've seen a lot of these cold-blooded animals. The ones that are non-venomous are the easiest to deal with."
The man said as he picked up the sack and held it in his hands, "Okay, I have to release him back into the forest."
The snake keeper was forced to leave by the crowd.
The panic of the crowd was gradually suppressed, and they returned to their original positions, some buying food, some chatting.
Seeing that the matter had been dealt with, Lin Meiqi took a bite of the bowl of cake to calm her nerves.
She rode her bicycle and rushed to the serious crime squad again.
In the serious crime team, He Wanyi had already arrived. The two greeted each other and Lin Meiqi talked about what had happened on the way just now.
He Wanyi couldn't help but exclaim: "Why are there so many snakes recently?"
Lin Meiqi was curious: "Flooding?"
The last time I climbed the mountain, I encountered a snake, but it’s normal to have snakes on the mountain. Actually, I only encountered this one today. Could it be that someone else has encountered it?
Lin Meiqi was just thinking about it when Liang Yifeng continued what He Wanyi said.
"Just now, the sergeant received a case of a snake attack resulting in death. It was also in a non-mountainous area, but this time it was a venomous snake. The toxin was injected quickly and the person died in less than 20 minutes. The family called the police and the case was then transferred to the serious crime unit."
Lin Meiqi wondered: "Should the Serious Crime Unit handle snake bite cases? Isn't this an accidental injury?"
"Yes, we think so too, but there is something very strange about this."
"What?"
Liang Yifeng said: "The police station where the case was transferred mentioned that the victim, Kang Yunxun, had anticipated his own death before he was bitten to death by the snake and told his relatives and friends, and they all knew about it. Because the victim said more than once that he would die soon, he was extremely scared and called the police twice, but because nothing happened, the police could do nothing."
"And just by coincidence, after he told his relatives and friends about it, he was indeed killed!"
He Wanyi nodded: "What's strange is that a painting related to poisonous snakes was also found in Kang Yunxun's home. Did he foresee that he would be bitten to death by a poisonous snake? Is there any other mystery behind this poisonous snake bite? Maybe it's not an accident, so the case was transferred to me."
Feng Charlie happened to come over and saw Lin Meiqi was there too.
"Come on, follow me to do the autopsy, along with the rest of you. Now that it's been handed over to us, we have to start the investigation from the beginning."
Lin Meiqi set off with her forensic box.
The crime scene was on Tongqi Street, which is far away from the city center and relatively remote. Every household on the street lives in an independent courtyard with only one floor.
Because we don't live in high-rise buildings, this also provides opportunities for snakes to appear and bite people.
Lin Meiqi observed the vicinity. Although the location was remote, all she could see from afar were residential buildings, markets, and some convenience stores. She could not see the nearby mountains or forests.
Logically speaking, snakes would not come to this place, but there are exceptions to everything.
For example, today, she encountered a non-venomous snake on the street of Bozaigao. Could it be that someone was causing trouble as well? But the location difference between these two places is too big.
Maybe the one I met near the snack street today really ran here on its own.
Lin Meiqi thought about it and walked up to the house. In the yard of the house, she saw the victim, Kang Yunxun, lying on the mud.
Upon inspection, there were no wounds on the back, but there were some traces of dirt and broken grass.
It seemed that when the poison took effect, he kept struggling and turned over. Lin Meiqi turned the man over, and sure enough, she found snake tooth marks on his calves and abdomen.
Upon closer inspection, it should be a snake of the Bamboo Leaf Green species.
Lin Meiqi carefully used a cotton swab to extract the remaining toxin from the man's wound. The specific type of snake would have to be tested to be fully confirmed.
Lin Meiqi carefully examined the victim's skin and found that he had droopy eyelids.
The venom will destroy a certain special blood component in the human body. Therefore, on the victim's body, you can see some skin swelling and bluish purple color close to the wound, and a small amount of white foam around the mouth.
The victim's constant twitching and struggling caused him to scratch marks on the ground with his fingernails. It seemed that his death must have been quite painful.
"There were no other relevant wounds on the body, and the initial diagnosis was that the death was caused by a venomous snake bite and the toxins invaded the body.
Lin Meiqi said to Feng Charlie, "However, I need to go back and get the victim's blood and wound tissue samples to confirm the specific situation."
Charlie Feng nodded.
Lin Meiqi carefully extracted all traces near the victim and put them into the evidence bag.
Not far away, hidden by the trees, Lin Meiqi unexpectedly discovered the body of the snake that had not had time to escape. It had been chopped in half, and there was a kitchen knife next to it with fingerprints on it.
She put the kitchen knife in a bag as evidence.
Lin Meiqi checked the snake body that was split in half and said excitedly, "Luckily the snake is here. If it is really the one that bit me, then we can confirm that it is a white-lipped pit viper. When I go back, I will match the toxins in the victim's body with the toxins in this snake and we can draw a conclusion."
Feng Charlie said, "What do you think? This kitchen knife and this chopped-to-death snake."
"From the angle where the victim was lying prone, it can be inferred that after being bitten by the snake, he returned home and got a kitchen knife and threw it out like this."
Lin Meiqi made a throwing motion. "What a coincidence, the knife hit the fast-running snake and cut it off. It stopped at this position. The position where the knife landed also matches the force posture of a person throwing the snake. However, during the struggle, the victim's position shifted, but the basic direction is consistent. Of course, the premise is that no one else has entered this yard."
Feng Charlie nodded: "So the fingerprints on the knife handle are crucial. If they belong to the victim, then it proves that he did throw out a kitchen knife and accidentally killed the snake, leaving some evidence."
Feng Charlie led his men into the victim's home, and Lin Meiqi also rushed in after cleaning up the scene.
The room was dim, and it took a while to get used to it after coming in from a sunny place.
But soon, Lin Meiqi saw the miscellaneous items on the table. The man seemed to be a carpenter, and there were various carpentry tools and messy wood.
However, there was a painting under the wood, and there was indeed a snake in the painting.
The species of this snake was different from the one that was chopped to death at the door. To be exact, Lin Meiqi did not quickly think of a specific species of snake. It seemed more like an imaginary snake imagined by the victim.
The colors are very vivid, the shapes are somewhat distorted, and the lines fluctuate greatly.
Lin Meiqi pointed at the painting and said to Feng Charlie, "It seems that the victim's mental state was a little unstable before he was killed. If we give this painting to a psychologist, they should be able to find out more. I always feel that a normal person would not draw such trembling lines when drawing a snake. Moreover, his job has nothing to do with painting, and it does seem a bit strange to suddenly have such a painting."
Feng Charlie nodded: "Before leaving, I have already contacted the psychologist of the General Administration. They will send someone to take a look at the meaning of this painting."
"Wow, they've already found a psychologist! The Sergeant is really forward-thinking."
Lin Meiqi turned into a boaster and after leaving Feng Charlie, she continued to go into the bedroom to check.
The victim seemed to have very simple tastes. There were some finished wooden crafts in his bedroom, some of which had already been painted. It seemed that he had no shortage of paints.
So, does the painting reflect the mood at the time, or does it foresee the ending and serve as a reminder to the police?
Lin Meiqi, wearing gloves, picked up a puppet carved by the victim and couldn't help but sigh that the man had very delicate hands. The work of a grown man was not rough at all, and many details were handled very well.
Lin Meiqi had bought similar wooden handicrafts before, and some of them had rough edges, but she didn't find any problems with any of them.
"What a pity!" Lin Meiqi sighed.
She put the artifacts back where they were and watched Feng Charlie direct the police officers to collect evidence from various locations. They extracted fingerprints from the room and shoe prints from the garden outside to confirm whether there was anyone else in the room at the time of the crime.
If there were other intruders, then the theory that the person was bitten by the snake and then hacked to death would have to be overturned.
An hour later, when Feng Charlie was leaving the team, Lin Meiqi followed him back to the serious crime squad.
She sat in the forensic room to conduct tests, and the toxins on the victim's wounds matched the white-lipped pit viper.
She also performed an autopsy on the snake.
After being busy for most of the morning, until noon, Lin Meiqi had no time to eat. She wore goggles and gloves and kept operating in front of the instrument. After a while, she heard a noise at the door. She looked up and found that Feng Charlie had brought her food.
"Eat a little bit at least. The results won't come out so quickly. You have to take care of your body first."
Lin Meiqi nodded and looked at the shacha noodles packed in the box. A lot of seafood was specially put in it, even two sea urchins.
"Sarzhan, this is too extravagant! I'll just eat something casually."
"You have to save your energy for work. Eating a little more won't hurt."
After saying that, Feng Charlie left.
After a while, Lin Meiqi's door was opened again, and Liang Yifeng came in, looking exhausted, carrying a box of pork chop rice. When I looked over, I saw that there was already a meal on Lin Meiqi's table.
"Hey, who bought this for you?"
Lin Meiqi said: "Sarzan."
"Oh, Sergeant always cares so much about the police officers."
When he saw the satay noodles in the lunch box, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, so much seafood! He really cares about his team members. In comparison, my pork chop rice seems..."
"It's okay, I'll heat it up in the evening and you can continue eating it."
Lin Meiqi fiddled with a few slices of tissue in her hands, observing them under a microscope, and tinkered with several other instruments for a while.
Afterwards, Lin Meiqi breathed a sigh of relief, probably because the result was in line with her expectations.
"The murder may not be an accident after all." Lin Meiqi said.
Liang Yifeng was curious: "How did you know that?"
While Lin Meiqi was printing the report, she said to Liang Yifeng, "I dissected this white-lipped pit viper. Its stomach contents and intestinal flora are obviously different from those of wild snakes. In other words, this snake was raised by humans. Also, wild snakes are relatively small and have very quick reactions. If a kitchen knife is thrown at them, they can dodge it immediately. But this snake is obviously clumsy. Because of its slow reaction, it was actually hit directly by the kitchen knife thrown from a distance."
She pointed at the snake on the dissection table and pulled up the picture on the computer. "They are both the same species of Pieris viper. Do you see any difference between these two snakes?"
Liang Yifeng took a look at the comparison and said: "The wild snake on your computer has tighter skin and shinier scales. The one on the dissection table is plump."
"Yes, there is a clear difference. Now the question is, are artificially bred snakes being manipulated by humans to cause bites? This is something we need to investigate."
Liang Yifeng understood, "But there are other possibilities, such as the farmed snakes not sneaking out, but escaping on their own, accidentally harming the victim, and finally causing the victim to die from the poison."
"That's right. Artificially breeding snakes doesn't mean the snake breeder is doing it on purpose. If the snake sneaks out and bites someone to death, the snake breeder will be held responsible. But it's completely different from intentional homicide."
The data is out, and Lin Meiqi has to tell Feng Charlie.
After Lin Meiqi sorted out the report on hand, she went out with Liang Yifeng.
Feng Charlie happened to be eating, and Lin Meiqi placed the report in front of him and relayed Liang Yifeng's previous discussion in detail.
Feng Charlie understood: "So, there is a possibility that someone committed murder."
Lin Meiqi nodded: "If someone deliberately trains and stimulates snakes with something, this kind of remote control of snake bites can be achieved. For example, in some special places, such as India, snake trainers can also train cobras. Ordinary people can't do it, but if they are snake trainers from generation to generation, it can be achieved. Maybe they can manipulate it outside the courtyard door, and it is not easy to leave evidence. This kind of killing can become very easy, but the nature is very bad, because poisonous snakes may accidentally injure at any time. Today's family is a single family, there is no other person in the courtyard, and the snake was killed by the victim with a kitchen knife in time, otherwise, the poisonous snake may hurt more people."
Feng Charlie nodded: "It's very bad in nature."
He took a few bites of noodles and said, "You were so busy reporting to me, didn't you have time to eat?"
"I'll go eat right away." Lin Meiqi said.
"Yeah, don't starve yourself. Da Huang from our group got stomach problems because he was too busy and starved. It took him a while to recover." Liang Yifeng said.
Lin Meiqi brought the meal out and ate the satay noodles while sitting in the office.
Such a luxurious noodle, with a whole bowl full of seafood, which she usually wouldn't be able to afford. I didn't expect that I would eat it all in one go today.
She was really curious whether Feng Charlie had added all the seafood varieties in the store to the bowl, filling it up with some of the seafood varieties she couldn't even recognize.
Everyone in the serious crime team went out to eat, some brought some food back, and after putting on their clothes, they went about their business.
Lin Meiqi's work has been completed.
Since it was not a pure accident, the workload of other police officers has increased.
Visiting the victims' relationships is a huge project. Not only does it require frequent outings, but it also requires a lot of investigations to get a little bit of useful information.
Many fingerprints were extracted from the room and Lin Meiqi has also taken them for testing, but the results will not come out so soon.
There is nothing for her to do now.
After eating a full bowl, my stomach was slightly bloated. Lin Meiqi rubbed her face and went downstairs to take a walk.
She was walking in circles around the building downstairs of the Serious Crime Unit and happened to see He Wanyi.
Ho Wan-yi bought an ice cream and was eating it. When she saw Lam Mei-ki, she said, "Wow, aren't you going up?"
"I ate too much, I need to take a walk."
"Okay, I'll go up first!"
Lin Meiqi waved to her and continued walking. Next time Feng Charlie wants to buy food, he must tell him in advance not to add so much seafood. Although he is a greedy cat, he really can't eat that much.
After walking around the building ten times, Lin Meiqi finally felt that the meal seemed to have been digested a little and she finally felt better.
She then returned to the serious crime squad, entered the forensic room, pulled out her retractable bed and lay down on it.
Fortunately, this forensic room is her private room, so every time she rests here, she is isolated from the noise outside and sleeps peacefully and comfortably.
Unlike other police officers, they can only sleep on stools in the big office, making a lot of noise, and sometimes they can't close their eyes when discussing things.
Lin Meiqi slept for an hour, got up and stretched. Feeling that she had slept enough, she folded up the retractable bed and walked out of the room.
I scanned the office and saw an unfamiliar face, a woman of a certain age.
He is about 40 years old, and his every move is very elegant and graceful.
Lin Meiqi stepped forward and Charlie Feng introduced her: "This is the psychologist I found from the headquarters."
"Hello, I'm Xiao Shanhong. You are Forensic Doctor Lin, right? I've heard of your name for a long time. The cases you handled in the New Territories North District were all very impressive. Of course, you are no less impressive here. It's true that you can shine wherever you go."
[Receive praise, IQ +1]
Lin Meiqi felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, especially the compliments from such a senior psychologist, which made her face turn red.
"This is all thanks to Sergeant's good leadership."
"All good, all good. You are all very dedicated professionals."
After Feng Charlie finished speaking, he looked at the painting, which was obtained from the victim Kang Yunxun's home and was now in the hands of the psychologist.
Xiao Shanhong observed carefully.
Feng Charlie asked: "What do you think this painting can show? We have done handwriting identification and confirmed that this painting was indeed drawn by the victim."
The psychologist looked at it carefully for a long time and finally came to a conclusion.
"This snake is not a real snake, but a distorted one, which is in the victim's fantasy. In my opinion, when he was painting, his mind must have been quite uncontrolled and jumping out of control. When a person is extremely nervous and frightened, his mind will run wild like this."
"So, does this mean that he himself has a mental illness?"
Xiao Shanhong shook his head. "That's not entirely true. I'd like you to go to the hospital and check his medical records. If he hasn't been to see a doctor for mental illness, and his relatives haven't reported any such situation, then I can only say that normal people can also experience this. For example, when someone is extremely threatened, they may become dazed, which is also possible. And look at the snake in this painting. It's extremely large, taking up about 70% of the entire picture."
"yes."
"When people draw snakes, they usually add grass, trees, etc., and the snake only occupies a small part. So the victim is very clear about the threat and oppression he is facing, or he has anticipated his own end."
"And the color, the background is dark, and the snake is colorful and scary. In other words, in his mind, he attaches more importance to the snake, but the sense of oppression is faintly revealed. There is some kind of dark force enveloping the victim, making him feel strong pressure. Therefore, even if he dares to draw that it is a snake that hurts him, he dare not write the name or some symbol of the person who hurt him."
Charlie Feng nodded.
Xiao Shanhong continued: "When people are extremely scared, they are more likely to use symbolic objects and dare not directly describe who the other person is, and their thinking becomes more abstract. Moreover, when he was creating, he might have been worried that the perpetrator would see the symbols he left behind, so he had to express it in a very obscure way. Of course, this is just my speculation about his psychology, and the specific search for evidence still depends on you, the police."
"I understand," said Feng Charlie, "but your interpretation of this painting today is very useful to us. At least we can roughly restore some of the specific expressions and emotional characteristics when we arrived at the murder scene."
"I want to emphasize one more point. His painting is full of snakes, but it's not just snakes. I can feel a powerful aura coming towards me. Maybe he is not only afraid of the snake, but something behind the snake. You have to study this. I can't give you more information just from this painting."
Originally, the serious crime team wanted to ask the psychologist to stay and treat her to dinner in the evening, after all, she helped a lot.
However, Xiao Shanhong said that there were other things to do at the General Administration and he had to hurry back and could not stay any longer.
"I hope you can solve this case as soon as possible. When we have a chance during the celebration, I will have dinner with you again."
Since the other party was busy, there was nothing to say. Feng Charlie sent her downstairs and saw Xiao Shanhong took a taxi and headed towards the General Administration Building.
On this day, the serious crime team was out visiting and there was no one else in the office. Lin Meiqi walked out of the forensic room, poured water for the coffee, and saw that only Xie Zhiruo was sitting next to her.
"You didn't go out?" Lin Meiqi asked.
"The sergeant asked me to help him compile a list of all the shops that raise snakes near the victim's residence, so I am searching on the Internet."
Indeed, at present, the task of searching for information in the serious crime team is handed over to Xie Zhiruo.
She does a good job in data integration and has a very keen sense of smell, so she is not called upon to many on-site jobs and is currently doing auxiliary work.
Lin Meiqi finished making the coffee and was about to go back when Xie Zhiruo called her back.
"Forensic Doctor Lin, did you know? Mingyi has already left by plane today."
Lin Meiqi paused, and Xie Zhiruo turned the computer screen to show her the latest news, the front page headlines, and the comments, all of which were filled with sighs, feeling that it was a pity that he left at the height of his fame.
Xie Zhiruo held her face with her hands: "Really gone, the last time I went to Mingyi's house for dinner, it felt like a dream. Forensic Doctor Lin, how do you feel?"
Lin Meiqi felt mixed emotions: "Since Mingyi wants to do this, he must have his reasons, right?"
Xie Zhiruo nodded: "That couple is so abominable. The wife has a psychological cleanliness obsession and can't stand seeing her idol working with someone she doesn't like, but her husband has to help her clean up. What kind of combination is this? They are simply a pair of devils! In my opinion, the existence of such people is a disaster in itself. They like Mingyi. If they like someone else, then the fans or idols of other people will be in trouble. Although I don't chase stars, the fans of those actors and singers who died tragically because of that couple must be so sad!"
Seeing that she was quite unwilling in her words, Lin Meiqi walked up to her, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her: "It's all in the past, don't think too much. Many things are like this, there will always be regrets."
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Lin Meiqi asked her, "Have you completed the task assigned to you by Feng Charlie? If you have, let's go out for a walk and relax with you."
Xie Zhiruo nodded: "It's almost done."
"Then let's go, there's a park nearby, let's go for a walk."
Lin Meiqi took Xie Zhiruo out, and the two walked to a park near the serious crime team, where there were lush trees.
The two of them walked around inside, stopping from time to time, and sometimes sat on the seats to bask in the warm sunshine during the day. It was as warm as a quilt, so comfortable that people wanted to close their eyes and sleep.
Lin Meiqi leaned back in her chair, opened her mouth wide and breathed in the fresh air of the park.
"Forensic Doctor Lin." Xie Zhiruo suddenly spoke.
Lin Meiqi opened her eyes and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
"Do you think I can become the backbone of the serious crime team in the future?"
"Of course. How can people not value you when such an important task as screening snake breeding shop locations is given to you? Anyone can go out to visit, even I sometimes participate, but not everyone can screen out data integration without omissions. Also, you are still young and have been online earlier than everyone else. You are more familiar with computers, so it is natural for you to use it."
"Yes." Xie Zhiruo nodded.
"You have to use the computer as a tool well."
Lin Meiqi reminded her, "In the future, there may be more and more crimes committed with the help of computers. If you use computers well, it will become an advantage for you, so don't treat it as a useless job."
Xie Zhiruo nodded, as if she had realized something: "What you said makes sense. When you have nothing to do, you can learn more about computer technology."
Lin Meiqi said: "Some of our technicians are now focusing more on monitoring and other aspects. They can do computer repair and basic computer operations, but do you know the real technical experts?"
Xie Zhiruo shook her head.
"It's just like 'hackers', of course the police's own 'hackers', which can be used to break through the technical barriers of some criminals, quickly take over some cameras, etc., or remotely cooperate with the police's actions and track the trajectory of a vehicle. All of these require the support of very sophisticated technology behind the scenes. Computers will definitely become better and better, smaller and smaller, and eventually even become like notebooks, which can be used by opening them. It is convenient to carry and use it as a powerful tool to catch criminals."
Xie Zhiruo was shocked when she heard this: "Wow, I really haven't thought about this angle. But, can what Forensic Doctor Lin said really be realized?"
Lin Meiqi nodded: "Of course, didn't we use the computer forum to find the murderer in the last haunted building incident?"
Xie Zhiruo nodded: "Indeed!"
"Computers are becoming more and more powerful now, and they will be even more useful in the future. Believe me."
"Forensic Doctor Lin is amazing. His vision of the future is very specific, as if he has seen it before. Why don't I have such a vision?"
[Receive praise, IQ +1]
Lin Meiqi thought to herself that she had lost 5 IQ points last time because of the fight with the shadow man, but luckily it is slowly coming back now.
She smiled and said, "Your work is very valuable. Others go out to visit and have no time to study. But after you collect information, you can use your free time to go out for a walk, exercise, and then improve your computer skills. It's great to learn while working!"
"Yes, that makes sense. I'll buy some computer books when I get home. I want to teach myself the technology. I heard there are special computer training classes."
“If you can find something particularly professional, you can also try to learn it.”
"No wonder everyone admires Forensic Doctor Lin. He is really versatile. Is there anything that Forensic Doctor Lin doesn't know?"
Lin Meiqi smiled and said awkwardly: "Of course, I don't know how to cook. Last time I almost set the pot on fire."
"I can go to your house and teach you."
"No need." Lin Meiqi waved her hands.
The shadowy man near her home might appear at any time, so it would be better for Xie Zhiruo, a young girl, not to go there. If she is targeted, she will have to get involved in the mess.
"I'm just buying food outside now, which is quite convenient."
The two chatted for a while, and Xie Zhiruo suddenly mentioned that there was a bookstore nearby.
"I'm going to buy some books on computer technology."
"Okay, let's go together."
In the bookstore, while Xie Zhiruo was buying books, Lin Meiqi was flipping through books related to animals, especially those about snakes. She was looking to see if anyone had mentioned the process of training snakes and what kind of training methods could be used to command a snake to bite people.
I wonder if snake trainers can do this? They can command the snake's body to twist, but to kill people, do they need stimulation such as smell or something else?
Lin Meiqi flipped through more than a dozen books on snake breeding, but did not find out how to control snakes to such an extent. She only knew that snakes are very sensitive to sounds, and certain sounds in nature, such as thunder or the sounds of certain natural enemies, will cause them to quickly avoid them.
Indians also use some kind of musical instrument to command the snakes to twist.
At the same time, some smells, such as camphor and other plants, will make them feel uncomfortable and stay away.
How to actually achieve the goal of using it as a tool for killing people is unknown.
After all, even some snake charmers in India sometimes get bitten to death by the snakes they control when they try to get close to snakes. So snakes are not easy to tame, and they may encounter some unexpected situations.
The most important thing is that being a venomous snake does not mean it will bite people on its own initiative. It will only bite back if humans accidentally touch it and pose a threat to it.
So even if someone throws a snake into the yard, as long as the victim reacts in time and opens the door to escape, and takes out appropriate tools to drive the snake away, there are actually a lot of long wooden strips in his yard that can be used as tools to prevent snakes from approaching, so as not to be bitten to death.
It seems that there are still too many questions about this snake bite incident. Is it really possible for someone to control a snake to enter from a distance and bite people when it sees them?
Lin Meiqi expressed doubt.
After reading these books, the doubts in her mind were still not resolved, while Xie Zhiruo had already selected the computer tutorials she wanted to use. She bought five or six books, held them in her arms, and returned to the serious crime team with Lin Meiqi.
After returning home, Xie Zhiruo started reading the book. Seeing her dedication, Lin Meiqi felt very relieved.
She took out her own cup and added more water to the coffee. She was drinking brewed coffee, and because she added too much water, it was diluted to the point where it almost tasted like plain water.
Xie Zhiruo saw the color of the coffee in her cup and took out a box of coffee from her bag: "Forensic Doctor Lin, this is for you. It's very pure black coffee, very strong. When you are sleepy, make it stronger and drink it. It really refreshes your mind."
"It's okay. I haven't finished mine yet."
Lin Meiqi raised the cup in her hand.
"I seldom drink coffee, but I see that you, Forensic Doctor Lin, always have a box of coffee in your hand. It would be a waste if you don't drink it. Forensic Doctor Lin, please don't be polite."
Unable to refuse the kind offer, Lin Meiqi had no choice but to accept the cup of coffee.
As soon as he was put into the forensic room, Feng Charlie and his team came back with their people. Lin Meiqi opened the door of the forensic room and left it a crack so that she could listen to what was being said outside.
She was also curious about the progress of the case.
Xie Zhiruo asked: "How is it?"
Feng Charlie said: "The victim's parents were relatively poor and still lived in the countryside. Kang Yunxun had good skills and started working after primary school. He started out as an apprentice carpenter. Later he became quite talented and gradually became a well-known woodworking artist. He also held an exhibition on Tangxi Street this year, which received good response. He has a younger brother studying abroad, and he is alone in Hong Kong."
Da Huang nodded and added, "He has had two girlfriends, but they are both broken up now and there is no talk of marriage. We haven't found out the reason for the breakup yet, and we will continue to dig deeper tomorrow."
"But it seems that neither of the two girlfriends had a motive to kill. Because according to Kang Yunxun's neighbors and people who had contact with him at work, the victim Kang Yunxun was an honest and kind person. He was also generous to the woman during their relationship. He bought her luxury goods and did not owe her anything."
Xie Zhiruo was a little puzzled: "Then why did you break up?"
