Chapter 237 Police Officer's Suspect
Public opinion is a variant of the plague, spreading as fast as the most contagious virus, and it continues to update itself like a tide.
What is different from the plague is the attitude of the group to which it spreads. Sometimes the more taboo something is, the more people will pursue and inquire about it. Even if those things will eventually be forgotten like soaked ink marks, it will not hinder people's enthusiasm at the moment.
Lin Zhi watched as those posts appeared and disappeared in a short period of time, and then appeared in other places. The so-called "every policy has its own countermeasure" was simply played out by the general public. Regardless of the time, place, or homonym, everyone discussed the matter tacitly.
Soon, all the people from all over the world who were acquainted by the original owner in Lin Zhi's list sent greetings either out of concern or curiosity.
——I heard that there was a serial murder case in your area? Is it true? Be careful.
There was also a special reminder from the editor, asking him not to get carried away with writing novels that would lead him to dangerous places.
Lin Zhi gave a corresponding response, thanking them for their concern and saying that she had no idea what the truth was.
As someone closely related to the case, he remained silent about the situation, but his enthusiastic friends told him the latest news through gossip.
[Generally, serial killers will leave marks, and this one is no exception. He will leave three knife wounds on the victim, two on the top and one on the bottom. The netizen said that the grandmother upstairs was the victim. He also saw it in the garden when the incident happened. This is not a secret. After all, there were many people in the garden that day, and many people knew about it, but no one connected these things together. It was only when the victim's family members happened to come across the right details that they knew about it. 】
[The woman who died this morning was a prostitute. Someone took a photo and recognized her. Then someone else went there to ask and found out it was really her. Netizens are really omnipotent. 】
Lin Zhi looked at the words without replying, tapping her fingertips on the edge of the table.
It seems that there is no need for his artistic processing, as Xia Chi should be able to see this matter.
Time was running out, and she was being closely followed by the police. She had no idea why she was exposed. Now that a counterfeit product had been proven to be real, she must be very anxious.
However, Lin Zhi didn't care about her feelings. Lin Zhi was thinking about Greyhound's motives for doing this.
Why does the other party want to make a big deal out of this matter at this time and continue to add fuel to the flames just to get revenge or put pressure on others?
Do you want to ruin Qiu’s career through this incident? How is that possible.
Even the most developed regions cannot claim to have a 100% crime-solving rate. Even reasoning games rely on evidence.
Even if it causes a nationwide sensation, the higher-ups will just send other people to take over the case and will definitely not let the revenge go.
Do you just want to interfere with the case, lead the police down the wrong path, and get revenge or get yourself into trouble?
This is possible, but Lin Zhi is a thoughtful person and always feels that there may be more complicated motives behind everything.
Lin Zhi asked the system to call up the background information and read it carefully again. The outline-style background information revealed too little content, and the focus was on Qiu Huo's physical and mental state. Greyhound was only mentioned in passing, and there was not even as much text about his group boss. Lin Zhi learned this code name from Qiu Huo.
Looking at the host in deep thought, 01 couldn't help but ask: [Host, why should we care about this? We just need to focus on our redemption progress. Judging from the current situation, we are not far from completing the task! No, it should be said that it is very close! 】
01 is very happy. The redemption mission for this world is going so smoothly. Even though the personality fragments that have been continuously integrated into the designer's body have dissipated, they have left traces. All that is left now is to wait for the target of the mission to recover, and the mission will be completed.
Lin Zhi did not reply quickly after hearing this. Even though it was an electronic sound, he could feel the joy and liveliness in 01's voice. It was a personified emotion that made people feel the vitality when they heard it.
But even though it is so similar to humans, and its emotions are completely in line with humans, artificial intelligence is still artificial intelligence. Even 01, which is called the Redemption System, probably does not quite understand what redemption is.
Getting along with others is a science. Even if one is good at manipulating people's hearts, he cannot make everyone befriend him. Even if it is to pull people out of a quagmire, some people will repay a drop of kindness with a spring, while others are greedy and become resentful. Therefore, redeeming a person cannot be carried out in the same way as completing a game task. People's emotions are difficult to quantify, and 01 does not understand, so it uses data to measure.
But what 01 said is right, neither this serial murder case nor Qiu Huo's enemy Greyhound has much impact on the redemption mission, because up to now he no longer needs to establish a connection with Qiu Huo through these events in order to enter his heart, and it is completely fine even if he does not pay attention to it now.
But he cares about these things now, not because of the mission, but because of hatred or concern. He cares because of hatred or because he cares. This is the most basic logic in human emotions, without any interests or purposes involved.
Lin Zhi lowered her eyes slightly, and did not answer 01's question, but said: "You are right, we are very close to completing our goal."
He didn't think much about it, he just hated or liked him.
The sunlight shining on the young man's face is like a soft and bright white gauze, and the corners of his lips are naturally upturned as if they are smiling at any time, carrying the preference of light and shadow.
In the long summer, it makes people feel a little dazed.
01 I stared at him blankly, feeling strange. The host was obviously not smiling, but people felt that he was in a good mood. Humans are really strange. Smiling does not necessarily mean happiness, and not smiling does not necessarily mean unhappiness.
The atmosphere in the police office was somewhat stagnant.
Wei Yunjun was absentmindedly sorting out documents while looking towards the closed office. Everyone else was doing the same to a greater or lesser extent.
"We have clearly tried our best, and the boss is also devoted to this case. It is clear that if we find more evidence, we can issue a wanted warrant. Now we have to hand it over..."
Zhu Changdong bit his cheek, his face full of unwillingness.
Zhu Changdong, who is usually calm and steady, is like this, not to mention the other people in the team. Wei Yunjun looked around and couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, Zhou Erhe, the most stupid and dumb one, was outside and hadn't come back yet, otherwise there would have been a big quarrel.
They did try their best but they didn't catch the suspect and let him get away. Someone died on the same day the suspect got away and it was a strange copycat crime. The higher-ups sent people to take over and assist in the investigation. Even the criminal experts were sitting in Captain Qiu's office, and the matter was a foregone conclusion.
To be honest, the situation happened quite quickly. The family members brought reporters to the door of the police station to demand an explanation. Before long, the incident spread throughout the city, the province, and even the country. They had no control over what happened afterwards.
The office door was suddenly opened, and everyone turned their heads back and pretended to be busy.
Qiu Huo walked out first and said, "Thank you for your hard work, but I have to inconvenience you a little. Since there are not enough desks, you can use mine first."
Qiu Huo rarely uses his own office, but the situation is special now. Jiang Yun, who was transferred here to support him, is at the same level as him, so he can't put him in his office.
"No need to be so troublesome, just get me a table."
Jiang Yun smiled and was very amiable.
Compared with Qiu Huo, he seemed a little thin, and his facial features were not very memorable, but his eyes that occasionally flashed with a faint light in his calmness and his hands with gun calluses showed that he was not an ordinary harmless person.
Qiu Huo didn't intend to do this. He tidied up the things on the table neatly. He didn't have much clutter, so he cleaned it up quickly.
Jiang Yun saw that the captain, who was decisive and did not hide his hostility when they met, carefully put away a piece of paper and raised his eyebrows in surprise. His eyesight was very good and he saw the musical notes drawn on it. He was surprised that he had such an unrelated hobby.
While Jiang Yun was reading the information, Qiu Huo was not idle either. Compared to Xia Chi who was hiding in some corner, he was more concerned about the movements of the greyhound.
Qiu Huo selected two people to keep him by his side and asked Zhu Changdong to stay in the team to cooperate with Jiang Yun.
"Assist Officer Jiang in his work."
Qiu Huo didn't say much. This sentence was his order. He didn't care about any credit or hard work. He just wanted to solve the case as soon as possible to prevent more people from encountering accidents. As long as Jiang Yun didn't give orders randomly, he would be happy to cooperate.
Zhu Changdong understood what he meant, and the depression in his heart dissipated. He pulled a chair and sat next to Jiang Yun.
Qiu Huo withdrew his gaze and took people to meet Zhou Erhe.
The sun was about to set and the heat had dissipated a little, but it was still hot and humid.
The air conditioning in the Internet cafe was turned on high. Zhu Tiantong was wearing slippers and his cold feet were rubbing against each other.
"Sister Xia, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Zhu Tiantong was very generous after taking the five hundred yuan from Xia Chi. Sister Xia even said that she wanted to stay at his place tonight, so he had to clean up his own doghouse.
Xia Chi was a little hungry after playing games for the whole afternoon, so he ordered a rice bowl.
Zhu Tiantong remembered that there was a small stir-fry restaurant nearby that served delicious food, so he didn't plan to order takeout and went to order some food.
Xia Chi left her character idle and watched people chatting in the guild channel, occasionally sending an emoticon. Those people would change their focus from the topic and greet her.
The corners of Xia Chi's mouth rose slightly. For a long time after the accident, she relied on the Internet to heal herself. This invisible network was so wonderful that she could become all kinds of people. Her source of happiness used to be her game friends. She made close friends with people on one account. As long as she sent a message, she would get up and turn on the computer even at three in the morning to accompany people to watch the scenery in the game. On the other account, she was marked as an enemy, and from time to time she would interfere with her tasks and arbitrarily belittle her, cursing at her and running to cry to her relatives and friends.
After going back and forth like this, he simply abandoned the account and started over again after his true colors were exposed. He returned to that person with a different personality, watched her open up her heart, and accompanied her in accusing and scolding her past self. He did not reveal his true identity until he got tired of the game, and then he happily deleted the game.
It's really interesting to watch others being fooled by themselves.
But gradually, playing with emotions could no longer satisfy her. She wanted to have better and more memorable works. Controlling people's lives was much more interesting than controlling their emotions. Unfortunately, reality was not a game. She could not just cancel her account and start over if she was exposed.
Xia Chi rubbed his dry eyes, looked at the game content on the dialog box, and sat up straight unconsciously.
[Have you eaten the murderer’s melon today? Anyone of you in Runing, please remember to stay safe. 】
[The locals are trembling in fear. This kind of person is so scary and antisocial. They need to be caught and eaten alive as soon as possible. 】
[From everyone's analysis, it seems that this person killed without any method, and it seems that he has nothing to do with the killing. 】
[I advise you to give me 10 yuan each at 2 a.m. so that I can ensure your safety. 】
[v me, I only charge five dollars, and I can also help you call the police, dog head.jpg]
[Stealing business, right? They’re fighting at the union gate.] 】
The topic immediately went off topic. Serial killers sound scary, but not many people care about them. This topic is not as explosive as the topic of cheating on your master, so it was quickly skipped.
Xia Chi opened the webpage and started searching, skillfully switching to the post bar and forum. The more she looked, the gloomier her face became. When Zhu Tiantong came back with a lunch box, she couldn't help but lower her voice.
"Sister Xia, dinner."
Zhu Tiantong placed the rice on Xia Chi's computer desk and even wiped the table with toilet paper before letting go.
"What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
He asked cautiously, being caught off guard by the person's eyes.
The pupils of the pair of eyes wearing colored contact lenses were very large, and the pattern looked a little strange if you looked closely. Zhu Tiantong couldn't describe the feeling, he just felt a little chilly for some reason, maybe the air conditioning temperature was really too low.
