Fang Zhenyue reached out and pulled a chair to the first row in front of the whiteboard, and called to Xiao Shiyi who was sitting in the last row, "Come, sit here."
Yi Jiayi was stunned. The front was where captains or elders like You Shazhan and Jiu Shu sat. How could she have the nerve to move forward?
But Fang Zhenyue insisted, so she had to walk over shyly and sit down in the first chair obediently.
She moved her butt and still looked back at You Zhaohua with some uneasiness.
"It doesn't matter, I'll just stand here and listen. I've been sitting for too long. If I don't stand up, my legs will be stiff." You Zhaohua said very politely.
The agents in his team looked at this scene and were shocked - what? ! Sir You can also be so easy to talk to sometimes.
But the hero sits in the front row, and no one can refute it.
For more than an hour, both parties shared all the clues they had about their respective cases.
"...Based on all the clues provided by Team A about the corpse dumping case in Lok Kwan Street Park, we can basically infer that the two cases were committed by the same murderer." Fang Zhenyue stood in front of the whiteboard, looking at the words that were almost written on it, and began to connect and extract clues with colored markers.
"I agree." You Zhaohua nodded. Their discussion was already very thorough.
Fang Zhenyue pulled over the map and began to mark it:
"This is the location where we found the body in the dismemberment case. It can be temporarily determined as the final dumping site."
He then marked the locations where they found other body parts during the body searches in the past few days. After drawing a few circles, he turned around and asked:
"What did everyone find?"
"The dumping site is gradually moving northward." As Fang Sir's best supporting actor and best student after the two groups merged, You Zhaohua was always the first to answer.
"That's right. What else?" Fang Zhenyue asked patiently again.
"Although the body parts of Team B's Ferry Street dismemberment case were found in Yau Ma Tei, the areas that were harvested in the later body searches were all concentrated in the north of Ferry Street." You Zhaohua answered again.
Liu Jiaming wanted to answer but couldn't get a word in. He glared at You Sir with some sourness, thinking dissatisfiedly: You are a sergeant, why are you still snatching the opportunity for us detectives to show ourselves? Why are you so competitive? Tsk!
"Yes, these places where bodies were dumped are actually all concentrated in Sham Shui Po." Fang Zhenyue took another look at the area where the body was found in the Ferry Street dismemberment case, and spoke hesitantly:
"It seems that the murderer dumped the body in Yau Ma Tei, which was a special case. Although we don't know why this special case was made, we can basically divide it into three ideas:
"First, why did the murderer who had been dumping bodies in Sham Shui Po make an exception and dump the bodies in Yau Ma Tei? Did he have to find other places to dump bodies because all the wastelands and parks in Sham Shui Po that could be used for body dumping had already been used?
"Secondly, since most of the body dumping sites are in Sham Shui Po, we can basically be sure that the murderer's main activity area is in Sham Shui Po, right?
"Thirdly, since all the clues point to the Lok Kwan Street Park body dumping case of Group A as the first immature case committed by the murderer, we can basically be sure that the murderer's residence should be the closest to Lok Kwan Street Park. "
While Fang Zhenyue was speaking, all the arrogant boys, rebellious young men, and smart uncles fell silent and listened to him talk about the case with full concentration, for fear of missing the key logic in his thinking.
Fang Zhenyue stared at the several body dumping sites he drew on the map, then stared at Lequn Street Park, and finally fixed the tip of the pen on the central area of the several body dumping sites, and moved towards Lequn Street, finally landing on an area about a few hundred meters away from Lequn Street Park:
"The murderer's residence is most likely in this area. If we want to begin a carpet search for the murderer's traces, we should start from here! "
Yi Jiayi's eyes lit up when she heard this. These contents sounded simple and clear, but they were all beyond her expectation.
Looking at the expressions of Uncle Jiu and others, she knew that most other people did not have such smart logic.
She clapped uncontrollably out of emotion.
Everyone turned their eyes to the little policewoman, and she realized what she was doing.
This was not a speech by the leader in the auditorium, why was she clapping, like a bootlicker.
Her face flushed, she quickly put her hands on her knees, swearing that these hands and her knees were locked and stuck, and would never make strange noises again.
Fang Zhenyue's eyes softened when he swept over her . And, the heroic Sergeant straightened his chest a little more, he was in a better mood and more excited.
Girls are still the best.
Yi Jiayi knows how to give positive feedback to his reasoning, it's really wonderful. Although the applause is a bit awkward, it still greatly pleases him.
This is the most direct, frank and lovely feedback he has ever received after working as a detective for many years.
These other stinky Ma Li guys, no matter how exquisite and fascinating his speech is now, they just listen blankly, neither praising him in a good tone or with flowery words, nor applauding or gazing at him in admiration.
He often speaks in a boring way, so he becomes more and more refined.
"Jia Ming, go check which communities are in this area, and whether anyone has recently reported a foul smell nearby, and whether the Sham Shui Po Police Station has received any strange reports related to this area."
"Yes, sir."
"Have you uploaded the murderer's DNA?" Fang Zhenyue asked You Zhaohua.
"I will upload it tomorrow, and then ask Brother Da Guangming to compare the murderer's DNA in our two cases."
"Okay. "Fang Zhenyue nodded.
Even if the DNA of the murderer in their two cases matched, there was only a fingerprint database but no DNA database. He could only call every police station in Hong Kong and compare the very small amount of DNA samples stored in each police station one by one. The probability of finding a match was basically 0, and he was afraid that he still wouldn't be able to find the murderer.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"Although we found the right hands of the two deceased and collected fingerprints, we didn't find a match in the fingerprint database.
"However, with the fingerprints, the family members of the suspected victim who came to identify the body can at least extract the fingerprints of the suspected victim for comparison.
"In this way, the probability of confirming the identity of the victim is greatly increased.
"Gary, go find Mr. Guo later and compile the physical features of the victims we have now into a file and give it to him. Ask him to contact the newspapers immediately, preferably put an ad in the newspaper tomorrow, and ask the public to help find the victims."
There are too many missing persons in each police station now, and it would be too much for the police to match them one by one. They are completely short of manpower and it is impossible to achieve this in the short term.
In order to solve the case as quickly as possible, they had to use the resources of the Public Relations Department and ask the public to help find the victims.
"Okay."
After Gary responded, You Zhaohua continued:
"Mr. Fang, if there are any other tasks, please give them to our A team detectives."
"Okay, then let's go to Sham Shui Po to stroll around at night and see who is wandering around at night. Is there any information related to lime, or mold... or suspicious people who randomly chat up women?"
Fang Zhenyue glanced out the window. The rain had stopped while they were concentrating on talking about the case.
After the rain, the sky cleared up, and the clouds drifting in the sky were dyed colorful by the setting sun, moist red and clear, heavy.
The clouds dispersed, and it shouldn't rain tonight:
"Who is free tonight, please sign up."
You Zhaohua was the first to raise his hand, and Liu Jiaming also raised his hand, followed by singles and those who didn't have any needs to burn paper at home. Yi Jiayi thought about it, raised her hand, and said:
"I can meet up with everyone after my family and I burn paper for my parents tonight. I'm a woman, so I might be more likely to attract the murderer's attention."
Fang Zhenyue glanced at her. She was so cute. If she was really targeted by the murderer, she might not be able to resist. But seeing that she was very positive, he didn't refuse and nodded:
"Talk to your brother when we go to Yi Ji for dinner tonight."
"Okay, let's call it a day and go to Yi Kee for dinner. Do you want to go together or meet up at Yi Kee later?" Fang Zhenyue asked You Zhaohua.
"Let's go together. Let's go back and pack our things first, and then meet up at your office."
"Goodbye, I have to go and help Mainlander with the release procedures. Three months ago, his parents were still alive, and he didn't start parading around selling steamed buns. The suspicion that he was parading around looking for victims has been refuted. His family is healthy, and he has no motive or environment to commit a crime. Moreover, the lime found in his home is inconsistent with that found on the body, so there is no reason to detain him as the only evidence. Let him go back and burn some paper money for his parents."
Fang Zhenyue pointed out the window:
"See you in the garage."
"Okay." You Zhaohua led the team out of the B team's office.
Fang Zhenyue suddenly remembered something, turned around and smiled at You Zhaohua:
"Hey, what did you say this morning? You wanted to see me apologize to the public at the press conference? Now it's good, the mainlander is no longer a suspect, and it seems that he is indeed innocent. There is nothing wrong with what Officer Yi Jiayi said at the press conference yesterday.
"You Shazhan, I'm going to disappoint you~"
After being teased again, You Zhaohua quickly clasped his hands together and said with a wry smile: "Please forgive me and think of me as farting this morning, okay, Sir Fang! "
Fang Zhenyue shrugged.
You Zhaohua sighed and quickly fled the scene. When he walked into his own office, he couldn't help thinking: He should stop talking nonsense about Fang Zhenyue in the future. He
can't afford to lose face like this.
...
...
The uniformed police got Fang Sir's documents and immediately walked towards the detention room where Sun Xin was.
The sound of unlocking attracted Sun Xin's attention. The young man raised his head, and his young face was full of woodenness.
"Sun Xin, your suspicion is temporarily cleared. You can go. "The police opened the door, took a step back, and signaled Sun Xin to leave.
The young man stared at the police in a daze, and it took him a long time to react to what he was saying.
He stood up in the expectant eyes of the other party, walked to the door in a trance, and the string that had been tied in his heart suddenly broke. In
the past few days, he was afraid that he would be locked up to death alone, and he might be wrongly imprisoned or even shot. The fear tortured him day and night. Sometimes when he thought of those possibilities, he would even tremble with fear.
The cold hard bed, the malice of others, the bleak future, and even his parents' car accident, all the negative emotions swarmed in and pressed him to the ground. But not out of breath.
Until this moment, he suddenly relaxed and was able to walk out of the cage.
After stepping out of the iron cage, he took two steps forward unconsciously. He suddenly turned his head and leaned against the wall, crying uncontrollably.
The fear, anger, despair, and even the grief of being abandoned by his parents in the past few days were out of control at this point in time.
The uniformed police walked up to him and patted him on the back gently.
Looking at the other person who was released with Sun Xin walking away briskly, the police sighed and handed him a newspaper with the headline that Yi Jiayi believed he was innocent.
Fortunately, he was indeed innocent and did not bring shame to the police.
"Go back, have a good meal and take a hot bath. "The police patted him on the back. Sun Xin choked for a while before he clutched the newspaper in both hands and walked out of the place he never wanted to return to again.
Only when he stepped out of the police station and the sun shone directly on him did Sun Xin completely believe that his grievances were really cleared and he was really free.
A strong sense of relaxation swept over him and he could hardly stand.
After struggling to hold on for a few seconds, he slowly sat down on the steps and slowly felt the sun warming his body. Cheng also slowly regained his strength.
Another young man who was released with him and was temporarily detained for fighting had already stepped down the stairs, but he had not left yet.
The man's family of three came to greet him. His father even prepared a fire pot, saying that it was unlucky to go to the police station on such a day, and insisted that his son jump over the fire pot to get rid of the bad luck.
The young man looked reluctant, but his parents insisted, so he had to jump over the fire pot quickly.
His parents immediately rushed over He came over and patted his back, meaning, "The bad luck and ghosts will be swatted away here, don't follow them home."
Jumping over the fire basin was not enough. His brothers standing on the steps lit firecrackers, which made a crackling sound to scare away the wandering ghosts, clear the vengeful spirits on this land, and go home clean.
Sun Xin just sat there, watching the excitement in other people's homes.
The serious crime team had a dinner party. When Yi Jiayi walked out of the police station, she saw Sun Xin sitting on the steps to the left of the police station door, staring at Others couldn't walk, just like herself when she was a kid and couldn't move her feet when she saw candy, so useless.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she quickly walked towards the young father who was about to collect the brazier, and smiled and made a deal. Seeing that she was a policewoman, the other party was very good-tempered and helped her.
Yi Jiayi borrowed thick gloves and ran to Sun Xin with the brazier.
Sun Xin didn't react at all to what happened. Yi Jiayi had already looked up at him with an exceptionally warm smile: "Are you jealous? Come on, you jump too."
Sun Xin's eyes widened, and he looked at the photo on the newspaper in his hand, and then at the little policewoman in front of him, and suddenly his heart was filled with heat.
The young man stood up with his lips pursed into a straight line.
He was not actually envious of others, but his legs were weak. But... he looked at Yi Jiayi again, and seeing her nod encouragingly, he finally took a big step and stepped over the brazier.
Yi Jiayi smiled and patted him on the back, "Okay, the bad luck and misfortune are all gone, let's go."
Sun Xin followed Yi Jiayi obediently, his eyes full of the little police girl. When the sunlight hit her, it illuminated her life energy, and he seemed to have absorbed a lot of strength, and he even felt that his brain became active.
At the bottom of the stage, Liu Jiaming turned around and saw Yi Jiayi's look, and said to Fang Zhenyue: "Xiao Shiyi is only 20 years old, and he's taking advantage of an 18-year-old boy and bringing bad luck to him. Do you want to recognize him as your son?"
Fang Zhenyue raised his hand to pat Liu Jiaming on the back of the head. Liu Jiaming was so scared that he ran two steps and turned around and shouted: "Today is the Yulan Festival, Brother Yue, you can't just pat my shoulders and head."
After Yi Jiayi and Sun Xin finished the ceremony, You Zhaohua also rushed out with the A team agents. Seeing the two standing in the sunset like a golden boy and a jade girl, he took the initiative to ask Yi Jiayi:
"Does the mainland boy also live in Sham Shui Po?"
"Yes." Yi Jiayi nodded.
"Then let's get in the car and give him a ride." You Zhaohua said, and without saying anything, he slapped Sun Xin on the back and walked towards the garage with the boy.
Sun Xin originally wanted to either follow Yi Jiayi or walk home by himself, but facing a strong man like You Shazhan, there was basically no need for any "originally wanted to do this or that" ideas.
Yi Jiayi smiled at their backs, turned around and returned the brazier to the old man, and then trotted to catch up with the crowd.
When they entered the parking lot, they saw You Shazhan stuffing Sun Xin into his own car.
Sun Xin had never been in a car before, and he was like a frightened little animal. When he got into the car, he not only tripped, but also hit his forehead.
He suffered all the hardships he had never suffered during his detention.
Yi Jiayi looked through the open car door and saw the young boy sitting in the middle of several muscular detectives, completely surrounded.
This car is really full of masculinity. Ghosts open on July 15th? There's nothing to be afraid of.
A ghost came over and evaporated on the spot 2 meters away.
Another jeep full of masculinity took Jiayi and drove out of the parking lot, driving very briskly.
There has been new progress in the case. Even though the murderer has not been caught yet, everyone has a premonition that it may be soon. The good mood made everyone feel light, and Sir Fang also stepped on the accelerator happily. How could the car not be light?
The moment when day and night alternate in the evening is called the devil's moment in some places.
The evening of July 15th was still covered with humidity after the rain, and all the scenery looked hazy, as if separated by thick fog.
The lights were dimming, and the neon lights were not on. Coupled with the special weather, the atmosphere of the Yulan Festival was in full swing.
Through the car window, Yi Jiayi saw that some people had already placed iron basins or circles on the roadside and in the alleys before it got dark, and placed gold ingots and ghost money, just waiting for the auspicious time.
There were many people rushing on the road, rushing to various large and small ceremonies.
On this day, people dared not eat while walking on the road, fearing that they would attract hungry ghosts. They also avoided the seaside and the riverside, fearing that water ghosts would find substitutes...
When passing by the park, you can see the crowds of people inside. The staff probably have already made preparations for tonight's Yulan Festival. At a startling glance, I seemed to see the park road filled with wreaths on both sides. I can imagine that after nightfall, walking along that path will probably give me the feeling of stepping into the underworld.
After the jeep drove into Sham Shui Po, the atmosphere became even thicker.
Red sedans stuffed with paper figures were placed on the roadside, three-meter-high grand event signs painted with red and green spells and strange patterns, staring paper dragons, black-faced Rakshasa statues... All kinds of gods and immortals gathered together to decorate major parks, markets and folk sheds.
Occasionally, I saw someone in costume hurriedly walking into the park. He must be an actor in the Yulan Festival Shengong Opera.
Yi Jiayi followed his gaze and watched for a long time, but couldn't tell whether the other person was a human or a god.
This night, the hungry ghosts and the human world were mixed together, and hundreds of ghosts walked on the same street at night. People are afraid of encountering misfortune when they go out. However,
the people sitting in the two majestic cars coming out of the police station are not afraid of ghosts.
In fact, when they look out the window at the streets gradually shrouded in darkness, they silently hope:
I hope the ghosts go out tonight so that they can catch them!
