The air in the New Territories seems to be better than that in Kowloon. It is rare that the police station here has not turned on the air conditioner. With the windows open, the fresh air of early summer rushes in. The wind blows the branches outside the window, and the green seems to be sent into the window and delivered to people.
The taste and temperature will stimulate people's memory, recalling the feelings when they were on vacation.
Jiayi is certainly not on vacation now, but the stimulation brought by the strange environment and strangers also makes her faintly excited.
The meeting entered the second half, and Task Force 2 was sent to communicate with the mainland police to try to find the identity of the murderer. If the murderer is really a fugitive criminal from the mainland and his photos and other information can be obtained, then the arrest work will have a major breakthrough.
Task Force 3 and Task Force 4 are responsible for visiting the crime scenes of the first 6 cases to collect statements and look for witnesses and clues.
Task Force 5 is a West Kowloon CID A team led by West Kowloon Inspector Zhang Feng. They have already led the team to look for restaurants and other places that can provide the murderer with various needs such as accommodation.
When Wang Jiewang was about to give the task to Fang Zhenyue and Yi Jiayi, Jiayi took the lead and asked to see the body with the New Territories North Forensic Officer first, and then see the crime scene with colleagues from the New Territories North Forensic Department before accepting the task.
Tannen on the other end of the phone heard that Jiayi was going to see the body and the crime scene, and immediately felt regretful because he was not in the New Territories. He asserted that Jiayi was going to try to reconstruct the murder and profile the crime based on the injuries on the body and the crime scene.
Jiayi smiled, happy to see someone making excuses for her. She only said to Tannen on the other end of the phone that if he rushed over now, they could still do a crime scene simulation together.
"I can't drive as fast as Mr. Fang..." Tannen sighed sadly.
After Mr. Wang accepted Jiayi's request, he immediately brought the meeting back to the main topic, planning for Project 7 to follow up all reports, and to submit transfer applications at any time. The Hong Kong Police Force Mobile Unit is always on standby...
After the meeting, each team led people to start their work. Fang Zhenyue and Jiayi greeted the forensic officer and went to the autopsy room together.
Wang Jiewang originally wanted to go back to the whiteboard and review the case with Hugo, but when he saw Yi Jiayi's back, he changed his mind for some reason and took Hugo and Fang Zhenyue to the autopsy room to see how Yi Jiayi did the profiling.
...
When they walked to the forensic department, they met Mr. Qian from the forensic department, so they walked through the corridor together, chatting as they walked.
Forensic officer Sun Anzu was actually chatting with Hugo about fashion:
"There are many women's clothes for sale nowadays, so it's not easy for men to buy two sets of clothes. Either they are too expensive, or the styles are not good enough."
"Sir Qian is very easygoing. He only has a few brown and coffee-colored clothes and pants to change every day. He doesn't feel bored and it's a kind of happiness." Hugo responded with a smile. He turned around and saw Jiayi looking at him curiously, so he kindly explained:
"Sir Qian lacks gold in the five elements. People have calculated for him. Earth produces gold. It's best for him to wear yellow, brown, and coffee. It's good for wealth and luck."
"Oh, so that's it." Jiayi turned to look at Qian Peirang from the Forensic Department. Sure enough, he was wearing a brown shirt with a pair of dark brown trousers. Even the leather shoes he matched were brown. It seems that he lacks gold a lot.
"Did you notice Qian Sir's name? Qian Peirang, Pei with the character "土" on the side, and Rang with the character "土" on the side, and it was changed later. After the change, he was immediately promoted to a senior laboratory technician and worked in an independent office. Isn't that amazing?" Hugo was afraid that Jiayi would be bored, so he enthusiastically told her the gossip about the New Territories North Serious Crime Unit.
Jiayi found it very interesting and couldn't help looking around. Seeing that the forensic officer Sun Sir was wearing a red shirt, she curiously asked, "Is Sun Sir lacking fire in his fate?"
"No, I just simply like the color red." Sun Anzu couldn't help laughing.
Fang Zhenyue was walking by and looked at Jiayi who instantly got along well with everyone, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
This is probably the person who is least likely to feel lonely. She is cheerful and happy, attracting people around her to get close... It's great.
Everyone walked into the forensic department while chatting. Sir Sun called his assistant and took a few people to the autopsy room.
After several cases were determined to be the joint work of serial killers, they were all brought to Qian Peirang for unified autopsy and report.
Qian Peirang was so busy these days that he even wrote in his work report that "this case is the case with the largest workload in his career so far."
His work has only come to an end when the task force was established in the past few days. Now that he brought Jiayi to see the body, it can also be regarded as a summary work. So while explaining the details of the wounds and the knife movements of the murderer shown in the wounds to Yi Jiayi and others, he also asked his assistant to record what he said, and then convert it into a report and submit it uniformly.
Qian Peirang was introduced from the corpse of the first case, the Sheung Shui murder case. Jiayi was also drawn into one flow image after another according to Qian Peirang's order and the order in which the victims were killed.
...
In the dim Sheung Shui house, Jiayi saw the murderer wolfing down the leftovers from the victim's home. He looked miserable and miserable, with fear and tension in his eyes.
Every two bites, he looked back at the kitchen door, like a frightened bird, afraid that the owner of the house would suddenly appear and catch him.
When he ran into the little girl who got up at night to drink water, the fear in his eyes was not necessarily less than that of the little girl.
In a panic, he pressed the little girl against the wall, pressing her mouth and nose tightly. During this process, the little girl kept struggling, leaving scratches on his face, arms, and neck.
When the little girl stopped moving, he was already in a state of panic - this is why a lot of the murderer's skin tissue was found in the victim's fingernails.
After that, the murderer carried the little girl to the kitchen and placed her on the dining table.
He stared at the little girl for a long time, and suddenly leaned over to tear the girl's clothes.
But halfway through the action, he suddenly remembered that he was caught by the girl when he was feeding her. After hesitating for a few minutes, he pulled out the kitchen knife from the knife rack, turned around and groped his way into the darkness again...
A few minutes later, when he returned to the little girl's body in the kitchen, no one in the room would disturb him again, and he no longer had to worry about someone discovering his tracks and doing something bad to him.
After that, he did whatever he wanted in the dark until his lust was satisfied, and then he left. When he
left, he hurriedly wiped the kitchen table and other places he had touched, wrapped the kitchen knife with a cloth, put it in his waist and took it away, and took an extra man's palm-length fruit knife.
Jiayi wrote down some of the core information she saw in a notebook and marked it with the words "first offense".
She was basically certain that the murderer might have killed someone by mistake or accident before coming to Hong Kong, but he was definitely not a born killer. It was very likely that before that, he was just an ordinary person. Even if he had a bad temper and flaws in his character, he probably never thought that he would become a murderer. But because of a certain opportunity, he finally embarked on this road of no return.
When the murderer killed the family in Sheung Shui, Jiayi saw that when the murderer used a kitchen knife to kill the first person, the murder weapon chopped into the victim's neck fiercely, and when he wanted to pull it out, he encountered difficulties. The sticky blood instantly wrapped around the kitchen knife, and the human body's muscles contracted, causing tension. The knife was wedged into the flesh, and the murderer failed to pull it out after two attempts. The victim had woken up from the pain and raised his fist to fight back at the murderer, frightening the murderer so much that he turned pale and almost wanted to drop the knife and run away.
In the last moment, the murderer used all his strength and finally pulled out the kitchen knife. After a stumble, he rushed forward and chopped it fiercely .
This is why the wife of the family in Sheung Shui died in a particularly miserable way, with her neck almost completely cut off.
In the first case, the murderer completed the first upgrade.
The unusable murder weapon became a more useful murder weapon.
After the forensic officer collected the six bodies in Case 1, he went to handle the eight bodies in Case 2.
Wang Jiewang watched the forensic doctor Sun Sir directing his assistants to work, and turned to Yi Jiayi and Fang Zhenyue and said:
"The murderer's skin tissue and other things are left in the little girl's fingernails, but we still can't find the suspect. With these evidences, there is nothing we can do. The murderer's fingerprints have not been matched either. Even if the two teams take the fingerprints to the mainland, they may not get anything. The murderer must have a criminal record in the mainland to match the fingerprints. Judging from the murderer's current condition, he may have escaped before being arrested in the mainland."
"Tricky." Fang Zhenyue commented.
"Yes." After Wang Jiewang responded, forensic doctor Sun had taken out the next body.
Jiayi was then drawn into the flow image again. In this case, Jiayi still saw the somewhat panicked murderer, but this time, he did not go straight to the kitchen after entering the door, but turned directly into the bedroom.
After killing everyone in the room, he went to steal food, loot money, and rape women.
In this case, the murderer killed more people than in the first case, and he still felt tired when pulling out the dagger.
When looting the victim's house, he began to look for a new murder weapon intentionally. Later, he found a tool hammer of the male owner. It was very small and handy. As long as he hit the head, the killing power was greater than that of a sharp weapon. He was very satisfied, so he dropped the dagger and took the small hammer away.
After Case 2, the murderer grew into a real killer at an extremely high speed.
This man has been turned into a wild beast in the jungle by his appetite and animal desire. He is no longer afraid of blood or corpses. He is like an animal who has never heard of ghost stories and has no moral bottom line. He kills, eats, eats, and vents...
When he leaves the crime scene, he stands in the night, looks back at the house where he just acted recklessly, straightens his chest slowly, and admires the place for a long time before turning around and lurking in the darkness.
Here, he awakens the "pleasure" of a murderer who controls the life and death of others. He begins to feel powerful and starts to enjoy it.
Fear may still make him waver occasionally, but it can no longer stop him from stepping into the abyss.
The autopsy room seemed to be getting colder and colder. Fang Zhenyue and his companions, through the simple explanation of the medical examiner and the wounds on the corpse, indirectly saw the murderer's brutality and the murderer's "evolution".
Jiayi saw with her own eyes that the simple-looking man's eyes gradually changed, his movements gradually became neater, and the human expressions such as frowning eyebrows and avoiding eyes when killing people gradually disappeared...
In case 3, the murderer began to control more: he could plan the steps of killing, killing men and the elderly first, so that the young hostess would live to the end.
He tied her up, lit the dim light at the bedside so that she could see him, and abused her while she was still alive, and killed her after he was satisfied.
Although she was very uncooperative during this process and even hurt him because of the intense struggle, this little change made him clearly see the fear in her eyes and he was rewarded by her crying.
So, in Case 4, he not only left the woman he liked for the last, but also, after trapping her, he gently hammered her on the head, making her alive but dizzy and unable to struggle, unable to cause any more harm to him.
He was becoming more and more like a demon, and he was becoming more and more adept at it.
Case after case, scene after scene of flow images, one living person after another turned into a corpse...
Jiayi felt the chill in her teeth, and the scariest horror movie in the world was not as good as this.
After leaving the autopsy room, Jiayi sat in Wang Jiewang's office for a long time, drinking a whole cup of hot chocolate in small sips. Only then did she feel that her limbs were no longer so stiff, and the numbness on the back of her head also faded away.
Fang Zhenyue had already made an appointment with Qian Peirang from the Forensic Department to do scene reconstruction one unit at a time, starting from the first crime scene in Sheung Shui.
Walking into Wang Jiewang's office, he glanced at Jiayi and asked with some concern:
"Are you ok? If you are not in a good mood, let's make another appointment tomorrow."
"Let's go." Jiayi rubbed the empty paper cup, took a deep breath, and stood up.
The murderer lurked in the dark, and no one knew whose relatives or friends he had targeted, and when he would strike.
When dealing with a serial killer like this, time is really life!
The police force must race against time, and Jiayi has no time to calm down. She must run, and run faster than the murderer.
……
……
"You go to the garage first, I'll tidy up and go with you." Wang Jiewang glanced at Yi Jiayi, whose face was still a little pale, and couldn't help showing admiration on his face. He picked up the car key, greeted Fang Zhenyue and Jiayi, and went to find Hugo to arrange the work so that he could fully accompany Jiayi and others to do the case reconstruction. Wang Jiewang
has been in the police force for many years. Everyone does a job. If the case happens in his team, then he will do it. If a case requires a group of people to do it, it is often difficult for anyone to shoulder it and regard it as their own responsibility, unless the superior names it and a certain person takes it alone.
For example, Neil Sir specifically named Wang Jiewang as the supervisor of their task force think tank, so he has this responsibility. Even if other people are in the think tank, they will not regard the case as their own, let alone devote their whole body and mind to it.
After all, the case was solved in the end, and the biggest contributor was the supervisor Wang Jiewang. If the case could not be solved, the biggest pot was also Wang Jiewang. Others are just "crowds", hidden in the crowd. Even very elite agents will inevitably have some absurdity.
This is human nature. Wang Jiewang will not feel unhappy because he has been accustomed to this society.
But Yi Jiayi Shazhan...this person has an inexplicable sense of mission.
Wang Jiewang was deeply touched by the strong sense of ownership in a case that was handled by a group of people.
Passion.
It was the passion for life and work.
Wang Jiewang had this feeling when he first joined the police force, but it seemed that he was slowly swallowed up by time, and he no longer remembered that feeling, nor could he regain that passion.
But working with Yi Jiayi, he tasted that positive blood again, and suddenly recalled his youth... the delicious passion and youthful vitality.
Wang Jiewang made an appointment with Fang Zhenyue and Yi Jiayi to meet in the garage, and he explained the work. When he turned into the corridor, he happened to meet Qian Peiran from the Forensic Department.
"Aren't you carrying that treasure box with many tools?" Wang Jiewang noticed that Qian Peiran only brought a small bag.
"Aren't we just reconstructing the crime scene with the two police officers from West Kowloon, describing the traces at the scene and so on? We are not going to conduct an investigation." Qian Peirang disagreed.
Wang Jiewang did not comment, and followed Qian Peirang up a dozen stairs. Suddenly, he slowed down and reminded:
"Mr. Qian, you should take the treasure box with you. In case you need it, you don't have to go back and forth to get it. It's not heavy anyway."
"?" Qian Peirang turned his head and raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Yi Shazhan is still quite amazing. I've seen criminal psychologists always respect her. The forensic officers and senior chemists of the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit are all very polite to her. I heard that whenever Da Guangming from West Kowloon appears at a scene with Yi Jiayi, no matter what the situation is, she will bring a treasure box. It seems that she is very sensitive to many things and has different perspectives and ideas. It's very strange." Wang Jiewang kindly reminded that as the head of the think tank for this case, his concern is certainly no less than Yi Jiayi.
"..." Qian Peiran hesitated, and said uncertainly: "She is indeed very powerful. It is normal for you to say this compliment. You are both detectives in the serious crime unit. But I am a chemist, and my profession is different from hers. Her profession cannot be cross-border, right? I have inspected all the scenes more than once. Do I have to bring equipment and inspect again?"
Even if you are eager to solve the case in the serious crime unit, you can't torture the chemist to death:
"Even if the detective has some angles that the forensic department doesn't have, we have been to the scene more than twice. What else can she find? I really can't think of it."
At this time, the two had walked to the door of the police station, and Fang Zhenyue happened to drive Yi Jiayi to the door of the police station.
Qian Peiran looked at Yi Jiayi in the car window, and instinctively pursed his lips and smiled reservedly.
Jiayi was very enthusiastic. She jumped out of the car and took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Qian Peirang. She said very sincerely:
"Qian Sir, I have read the test sheets and reports you submitted. They are very detailed, sharp and accurate. Thank you for accompanying us again this time."
Qian Peirang shook his right hand in Jiayi's hand. He felt that the other party's smile was friendly and his palm was warm and strong.
After Jiayi took back her hand, he was a little embarrassed because he had made many impolite comments to her when she was not around.
He rubbed his facial features, trying to make his smile more friendly and natural, and then he whispered:
"It should be, that..."
He looked back at Wang Jiewang, pursed his lips, and said:
"I forgot to bring my suitcase, wait for me for 2 minutes."
After that, Qian Peirang turned around and went back to his office, not only bringing his forensic treasure box, but also bringing an assistant.
Wang Jiewang parked the car in front of Qian Peirang, smiled and took the lead, motioning them to get in the car.
So, a group of people set off in a mighty manner and headed straight for the crime scene.
