This time, it was a real ride. Fang Zhenyue kidnapped Jiayi during the dinner and took her to see the sea.
On the way, while waiting for the red light, he turned around and asked:
"You seem to have changed a lot after returning from the training camp this time."
"Really? How have you changed, Brother Yue?" Jiayi touched her face curiously.
"I seem to have become... relaxed, more sunny and more unrestrained."
Fang Zhenyue tried to find the right words. Jiayi thought for a while before saying: "Exercise really makes people healthy and sunny. Many things will be forgotten, and unhappiness will become happy."
"Exercise is really good." Fang Zhenyue has no hobbies. He likes to study criminal investigations, think about and review them alone, or do sports. Playing tennis, bowling, running, boxing, these things almost occupy all his free time.
"The training camp took me away from my original life. I could abandon my habitual daily life and think about many things." Jiayi pulled her seat belt and turned to look at the night view of Hong Kong River outside the window.
The growing gap between the rich and the poor has brought the most developed gorgeous neon buildings and the most primitive ground-floor buildings. When the developed and the backward are in the same frame, it becomes a cyberpunk scenery that you can never get tired of looking at.
Everything that seems beautiful has a price, and the high-paying job of being a policeman is also like this.
"I think if we want to do this for a long time, we must work hard to shape our own temperament. We must be happier, smile more, forget more, look forward more, pay more attention to food and vegetables... these concrete things."
We must be a human being who can be recharged in secular life, otherwise we will become depressed, thoughtful and unhappy. This is the fate of sensitive people, because time in their eyes is complex and multi-layered enough, and it is always difficult to walk as boldly and freely as Cra.
But "sensitivity" and "thinking" are the necessary qualities of a detective. If she wants to use them to find the truth, she must learn to live with them. To work hard to become a wise person, and also want to be happy, to protect her "original intention" and not be dragged down by "unhappiness", she is determined to remind herself all the time.
Take life and yourself in your hands, and actively shape your life and yourself.
"Otherwise you'll become Uncle Nine, who likes to complain and is dissatisfied with everything." Fang Zhenyue suddenly teased.
"And then you'll have super deep frown lines and pouting lines." Jiayi immediately made a face.
The two laughed in tacit understanding, and the atmosphere became light again.
"That's good." At the next red light intersection, Fang Zhenyue held the steering wheel with one arm, slowly released the accelerator, and slowly stepped on the brake. After the engine noise became smaller, he turned his head and looked at her seriously, giving her approval.
The temperature tonight is very comfortable.
Spring quietly sneaked into this small port city in the night, warming the streets and the bay.
Although she didn't feel very cold when she got off the car, Fang Zhenyue still handed her a small air-conditioning blanket.
Jiayi shook it open and wrapped it around her body, which was just right for her. She was so warm that even the sea breeze couldn't get through.
"Brother Yue is so considerate. He even prepared a quilt." She unintentionally poked at Fang Zhenyue's sensitive and delicate "young heart".
"..." He turned away awkwardly and said dryly, "Sometimes I sleep in the car, so I brought a quilt with me."
"...Oh." Jiayi sniffed the quilt. It smelled brand new and looked brand new.
But this time she didn't expose Brother Yue's cover-up, but pulled the quilt up to hide her smile.
Wrapping herself up like a dumpling, she and Fang Zhenyue walked towards the beach.
They chose a clean place that was sheltered from the wind and open. Fang Zhenyue spread the picnic mat on the ground and placed the thermos on his head. They lay on the picnic mat and looked up at the sky.
The sky is full of stars and the Milky Way is in sight.
People are always in a hurry walking in this world. What they see is either the stones blocking the way or the golden road signs. It is rare to have such a perspective. You can't see anything that will hold you back in the secular world, only the boundless and vast distance.
The sound of waves and wind drowns out the sound of cars and horses in your ears, and everything that provokes you in the world disappears. The huge waves hit the stone bridge piers, and the sound of nature also hits the eardrums.
The only thing surging in her heart is the sea, and the only thing that is peaceful in her eyes is the sky.
Her world suddenly became so open.
"Brother Yue, thank you." Jiayi felt safe and sighed softly.
There was no response from the person beside him. When he turned around, he found that the man had his eyes closed, his thick and long eyelashes trembled with his slow breathing, and his chest rose and fell in perfect sync.
He actually fell asleep like this.
Then there was another sound around him, the sound of others breathing slowly while sleeping.
...
Fang Zhenyue woke up from his sweet dream half an hour later.
He apologized quickly and sat by the sea in embarrassment, turning his head from time to time to ask her if he was snoring.
Jiayi swore repeatedly that she really didn't snore, and the embarrassment on his face disappeared.
Jiayi couldn't help laughing, so he was worried again:
"Are you really not snoring?"
"Really not, hahaha..." The restrained laughter finally turned into a big laugh.
Fang Zhenyue blushed, looked at her laughing for a few seconds, and suddenly couldn't help laughing too.
After enjoying the sea breeze at the beach, the two finally returned.
When they were almost at her rental place in Mong Kok, Fang Zhenyue spoke:
"Come early tomorrow. I'm not sure whether it will be in the morning or afternoon. There should be an emergency meeting."
"What's the matter?"
"The recent homicide cases in Sham Shui Po have been determined to be linked to the homicide cases in the northern New Territories, and the murderer is the same person. The first known case was three months ago and has not been solved yet. The murderer not only continues to commit crimes, but also gradually approaches densely populated areas. Now the whole of Hong Kong is panicking and anxious about this matter, and the police force may set up a special task force."
Fang Zhenyue slowed down the car and continued:
"Expert Tannen recommended you to the chief, and Sir Huang and I both agreed.
"If the task force holds a case filing meeting tomorrow, you may be called on. It always helps to prepare in advance."
"Understood, sir! "Jia Yi immediately put away her lazy expression and answered seriously.
She never thought that during the three months of her seclusion, such a terrible murderous demon would appear.
After returning home, Jia Yi changed her dress and shoes, took a shower and dried her hair, then she dug out the old newspapers that her eldest brother had piled up at the door to sell as waste paper, picked out all the reports on the murder of a family, and checked them one by one in the study.
In the past three months, the continuous number of home-breaking cases has made all citizens in Hong Kong feel insecure.
Many villagers and citizens living in villages, tenement buildings, low-rise buildings, bungalow estates, and small houses are afraid that they will have to live together at night, sleeping on the ground floor or sleeping in a common room. Some village heads will even organize young patrol teams.
Some businesses that make anti-theft windows, anti-theft doors, safety doors, and safety windows have suddenly become prosperous. Some evil businessmen even regard the murderers of home-breaking cases as their gods of wealth. Their shops are covered with feces and garbage by citizens...
The sales of guard dogs and large dogs in many pet stores have increased sharply, and it is a good thing that many stray dogs have been adopted. The media people who felt sad about the public security sarcastically called it the "Hong Kong dog expensive" incident.
...
After reading various reports, Jiayi marked some information that looked special, cut it out and put it in her notebook.
The next morning, after having breakfast with her family, she rode her bicycle to the police station.
At that time, most police officers had not yet gone to work. She went straight into Sister Yin's office and not only checked all the information she could find about the murder case, but also read all the reports of the cases solved by Team B in the past three months.
There were basically no problems with the cases handled by Team B in the past three months, and the logical chain was very smooth. Jiayi saw Brother Yue's down-to-earth and solid steps in handling cases.
While reading, she took some notes and thought about what she would do if it were her. Would she be able to be so steady, take all possibilities into consideration, and not act rashly while being most efficient? So she did some simple reconsideration.
Without giving too much thought to the case of Team B, Jiayi opened her notebook again, looking through the files while sorting out the information in the newspaper.
Mark some elements and nodes, so that if she really joins the task force, she will immediately retrieve the latest and most prepared information.
After reading through all the information that Jiayi can get at this stage, the information sorted out in the notebook is basically:
[The murderer committed 7 crimes in 3 months, killing a total of 40 people, and 1 baby survived. ]
[The locations are Sheung Shui in the north of the New Territories, 1 case in Fanling in the south, and 1 case in Tai Po.
There was a gap of 6 days between the first and second cases, 9 days between case 2 and case 3, and 15 days between case 3. The time taken by the murderer to commit crimes was getting longer and longer, so the police deduced that the next case would take longer, which was the murderer's rhythm.
As a result, there was only a gap of 3 days between case 4, the Ma On Shan murder case, and case 3.
After the murderer committed the crime in Ma On Shan, the detectives of the New Territories North Crime Squad deduced based on the murderer's crime trajectory in several cases that the next case might occur in Sha Tin to the south or Sai Kung to the east.
As a result, the murderer finally went south and committed a case in Sha Tin. From this, the police deduced that the murderer might be consciously moving to densely populated areas.
One case in Kwai Chung in the South of the New Territories, and one case in Shek Kip Mei Village in the North of Sham Shui Po. 】
【The murder weapon used in case 1 was a kitchen knife, while the one used in case 2 was a sharp weapon. The police initially inferred that it was the missing fruit knife from the knife rack taken from the scene of case 1. Cases 3 to 7 all used blunt weapons, which were inferred to be a portable hammer. The murder weapon was not found. 】
Jiayi asked herself in the notebook, as a follow-up, if she is involved in this case, she can focus on the following:
1. In the first three cases, the murderer's crime intervals became longer and longer. Why did the murderer suddenly shorten the crime time in case 4?
2. When the murderer walked south, did he really have the initiative to move to densely populated areas?
3. What is the murderer's standard for choosing the house to commit the crime? Is it really purely random?
4. What is the murderer's means of movement? Did he really just walk?
5. Does the murderer still have the weapons used in Cases 1 and 2? (It is very likely that he has discarded them. So where did he discard them?)
6. Why didn’t the murderer kill the baby?
7. In which area might the murderer commit the next crime? Can it be prevented?
8. Are there any possible eyewitnesses? Under what circumstances might these witnesses have seen the murderer? How to find these witnesses and help them determine which person they saw was the murderer?
9. What does the murderer look like? How old is he? How tall is he? Does he have any special appearance or behavior characteristics? Is he really a mainland illegal immigrant? If he is from the mainland, does he speak Cantonese? A person who speaks Cantonese or Cantonese with a strange accent, or who can't speak Cantonese, has been in Hong Kong for more than 60 days. Why didn't anyone find it suspicious and report it to the police?
10. ...
Jiayi sat for a while, staring at the many doubts she had written down.
Regarding point 6, there was no murder of the baby. She felt that the murderer probably thought it was unnecessary to kill the baby, and the murderer might think that the child was innocent.
So can it be judged that the murderer has a basic moral bottom line and is not a pure villain?
Or...he hates this world, or decides that he can live a good life, but he can't be happy, so he vents revengefully and indulges his appetite, sexual desire and violent desire in a self-destructive way.
Jiayi bit the end of the pen, frowned and thought.
When Sister Yin came to the office and poured a cup of black tea into her hand, she had already read most of the documents in her hand, checked them, and sorted them into the paper box that needed to be put into the file room.
A sip of warm black tea went down her stomach, and her whole stomach became warm.
She blew on the teacup, and white water vapor floated.
Jiayi put down the case temporarily, tilted her head, stretched out her arms and hugged Sister Yin who was sitting next to her, and said with a smile:
"I haven't had Sister Yin's black tea for a long time, it's still so delicious~"
"It's even better, I changed the recipe." Sister Yin raised her eyebrows and enthusiastically shared with her the secret of making tea.
While the two of them were chatting enthusiastically, half of the pot of tea disappeared, and the documents in front of them were sorted out.
Jiayi patted her belly contentedly, said goodbye to Sister Yin, and hurried back to the B team office with brisk steps.
Vacation is over, and work is back!
