Xie Qing didn't have many ideas about her job, but she had a lot of irresponsible guesses.

She took a sip of tea and said, "I'm just talking nonsense, everyone just treat it as entertainment."

Du Zhun said, "That won't work. You also said you were talking nonsense in the Huang Qi case, and the results all matched, don't you think?"

This is a bit on the line.

"Brother Du, have a cigarette." Tan Yi handed Du Zhun a cigarette, "I've read the case file of Huang Qi. It's really lucky that Xiao Xie and his team were able to solve the case. Criminal portraits are not mature yet, and professional portrait artists internationally only provide predictions based on demographic variables. Accurate information is generally not available, so we can't rely too much on them."

Xie Qing nodded. He gave such a prediction at the meeting.

Everyone was a little surprised to see Tan Yi ruthlessly deny Xie Qing's previous achievements.

Du Zhun scratched his head uneasily and looked at Xie Qing apologetically.

Just when he wanted to say something to ease the embarrassment, Tan Yi spoke again, "However, it is still okay to make irresponsible guesses. I also want to hear the ideas that Xie has diverged from."

Oh...

he was going back to the past again.

Everyone immediately understood that on the one hand, he was reminding everyone not to rely too much on him, and on the other hand, he was also protecting Xie Qing.

Fu Da said: "Captain Tan is right, Xie, please tell us."

"Then here I come!" Xie Qing knocked the teacup down, "The last book said that Zhang Fei rode his horse to Cao Cao's camp..."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

Du Zhun smiled and said, "I only knew that Xiao Li loved to play pranks, but I didn't expect Xiao Xie to be so naughty."

"Not really." Xie Qing waved her hand, "It's mainly to set the tone and liven up the atmosphere so that everyone doesn't expect too much from me."

Tan Yi saw that she understood his painstaking efforts, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Qing said, "First of all, the female victims are relatively young, all in their twenties or thirties. If they are fallen women, then the age range of the murderer is the same as Captain Tan predicted, 20 to 40 years old. If they are not all fallen women, then considering that the murderer has a car, I think he is either a rich man or a handsome young man. Personally, I think the former is enough, but the latter is still possible."

"Secondly, serial murderers like this are generally divided into five types: fantasy type, task-oriented type, hedonistic type, recognition-seeking type, and material need type. I think he belongs to the fourth type. Because he needs to seek recognition, he has a need for female corpses, and he will stop when he achieves his goal."

Li Ke asked, "Qingqing means that the son is the murderer and he is seeking his father's recognition?"

Xie Qing said, "Yes, I think so. If a father has high hopes for his son, but the son just doesn't live up to his expectations, but the son doesn't think he doesn't live up to his expectations, he will find ways to prove himself. You see, he has a car, not only married a beautiful woman, but also helped his old father, who has been a widower for half his life, marry eight concubines. Isn't this also a kind of success?"

"Fuck, it makes sense!"

"I think so too."

"No, no, no, Xiao Xie said, I'm just telling a story."

"Yes, don't take it too seriously, I can tell a few stories like this."

"Come on, forget it. What Xiao Xie said is logical and consistent with the actual situation of the place where the body was hidden. Not a word of it is nonsense."

Xie Qing said seriously: "I am indeed not making up stories, but it may not be correct. There are still many possibilities. For example, the murderer buried the male corpse under the old locust tree, just buried it there for no reason; for example, the murderer killed the first person, Feeling guilty, he chose a good place for him. It didn't matter if he killed him easily later. He could just bury him anywhere. All of the above are possible."

Fu Da asked, "What do you think of Xiao Xie's story, Captain Tan?"

Tan Yi said, "It does make sense, but the murderer may not act according to logic. When you are investigating, you can keep this in mind, but you can't take it as a rule."

Everyone nodded.

At this time, the owner of the restaurant came in with a newly ordered braised pig's face and a pot of wine, "You are from Anhai City, right? How about it? Do you like my dishes?"

Du Jun said, "We came here after dinner and ordered four servings as usual. The boss's cooking skills are pretty good."

The boss smiled from ear to ear, "Haha, as long as you like it, as long as you like it."

He was about fifty years old, obese, with a big head and thick neck, like a Müller, and looked festive.

Tan Yi said, "Boss, I want to ask you something."

The boss said, "Little brother, tell me."

Tan Yi asked, "Are there people in Xiang'an who often get together to climb mountains?"

The boss tapped him with his hand and said, "You've asked the right person. Many people who like climbing are willing to get together in our restaurant. There are not only people from the county, but also from the city. Every Saturday night, my place is packed."

As soon as he said this, the other seven people raised their heads in unison.

The boss was startled, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Tan Yi gave him a cigarette, "Nothing, I just asked, which mountain do they usually climb?"

The boss glanced at the filter, "This is a rare good cigarette, thank you brother." He threw the cigarette into his mouth, moved to Fu Da's lighter and took a puff, "Our Xiang'an County Luoying Mountain is the most famous, the mountain is big, the scenery is beautiful, and it is also well-known far and wide."

Tan Yi asked: "Has anyone been to Huya Mountain?"

"Tiger Tooth Mountain." The boss rubbed his fat back of the head a few times, "It's a barren mountain, not high enough, not dangerous enough, and there's not much scenery. I haven't heard of anyone being there."

Tan Yi said, "Boss, have you heard of the legend about Tiger Tooth Mountain? Has anyone suggested climbing it?"

The boss took a long puff of smoke, "What legends can there be about that mountain? No, no! It seems someone has suggested it, otherwise we wouldn't know about this mountain, but the meaning is similar to what I just said, no one wants to go there."

Tan Yi said, "Do you remember who suggested it?"

"Oh..." The boss scratched his head again, "That's hard. It's been a long time and there are so many people involved that I can't remember."

Tan Yi took out a small notebook from his bag, tore off a piece of paper, and wrote down the phone number of his mobile phone, "If you remember anything, remember to call me on this number, thank you."

The boss was a little suspicious, "You are..."

Tan Yi took out his police ID from his bag and showed it to him.

The boss was in awe, "Is that so. Is there a case on Huya Mountain?"

Tan Yi said, "The specific details of the case cannot be disclosed for the time being, please understand, boss."

The boss said, "I understand."

Tan Yi said, "Boss, you know so many mountaineering enthusiasts, do you have their names and contact information?"

The boss hesitated.

Tan Yi explained, "We will not disclose certain details, and mountaineering enthusiasts also contact each other, how can they think of you?"

The boss nodded, "That's right, you wait, I'll find the phone book."

"Thank you, boss." Tan Yi gave him another cigarette, "Li Ji, you go with the boss, so he doesn't have to run back and forth."

The boss blinked and finally took Li Ji out.

Fu Da smiled and said, "Team Tan is Team Tan, it's watertight."

Du Zhun, Liu Feng and other old men nodded.

Li Ke didn't understand and asked Xie Qing in a low voice: "What's going on? Why don't I understand?"

Xie Qing said: "Captain Tan is worried that the boss is playing tricks and is kicking out the old customers who have a close relationship with him. The murderer has been committing crimes for so many years. If he really climbs the mountain often, he may be familiar with the boss."

Li Ke said, "Tsk, it's true. This is all experience."

Not long after, Li Ji came back with a phone book. "Dao must have followed him, otherwise he will definitely hide something."

Tan Yi handed over the book and pen. "Copy it down in two pages. The ones in Xiang'an County belong to Xiang'an County, and the rest belong to us."

Li Ji took it and began to write quickly.

Du Zhun drank a small cup of liquor. "Boss, it's normal. If it were me, I wouldn't leak my good friend's phone number to outsiders. There's nothing good about our police getting involved."

"Especially in our bureau. The cases we receive are either murder or arson. None of them are comfortable."

"Indeed. To be honest, there were a year or two when I was scared when I heard the phone ring in the office."

"This is also a challenge."

"Xiao Li, forget it. It's okay to challenge for two days or two months, but who can stand it endlessly!"

"That's right."

...

Everyone started to discuss.

The guesthouse was boring, so everyone stayed in the small restaurant to chat, drink and discuss the case. They didn't go back until half past ten.

The moon was blocked by thick clouds, and the cold wind seemed to foreshadow the weather of the next day.

Although the journey was not far, Captain Tan still called four tricycles and took his colleagues back to the guesthouse.

After washing up, Xie Qing went to bed and dimmed the bedside lamp.

Li Ke said, "I didn't expect Captain Tan to be so considerate."

Xie Qing asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's only a few steps away, but he insisted on taking a taxi. Isn't that very considerate?"

"You can think that he is also very cold and has money."

"That's true. I really think too much. If you think like this, you won't over-glorify men."

Xie Qing was stunned for a moment. She was just talking casually and didn't mean to raise her level.

But it cannot be denied that it is definitely not a good thing for girls to overthink about relationships between men and women.

She asked, "Are you still thinking about Captain Tan?"

Li Ke looked at the ceiling, "What am I thinking about? Am I that kind of person? I just... uh, admire him occasionally. By the way, Qingqing, don't you like Captain Tan?"

Like Tan Yi?

Xie Qing had never thought of this before, and she felt a little weird when Li Ke mentioned it.

She had been on blind dates several times in the world outside of books, but all ended in failure.

Before the incident, she met a criminal policeman from the police station. They had a good impression of each other and added each other on WeChat. As a result, she was transported into the book before any sparks were created.

She has no obsession with love and is in a state of taking things as they come. The reason she went on blind dates was just because her classmates and colleagues were too enthusiastic.

If you refuse, people will think you are ungrateful.

If you don't refuse, it will never end.

She was really in a dilemma for a while.

It was still Qingjing now. Her wealthy family background made quite a few people afraid of her, and protected her like a big umbrella.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Ke asked again: "Are you asleep?"

"No." Xie Qing said, "Captain Tan is an excellent colleague and an excellent leader to me. I haven't thought about anything else."

Li Ke said: "Think about it now."

Xie Qing said: "It's better not to give yourself hints about this kind of thing. Go to sleep. When there is news from the bureau, you will have to go to various branches to investigate. There is a lot of road to go."

"Okay." Li Ke turned off the lights, "What you said makes sense, go to sleep!"
