Chapter 143: Arresting people! The underlying logic of desire!

Who is the person in front of you?

A trembling manager of a wholesale market center, responsible for personnel!

"Four hundred thousand?"

"How long is the time limit?"

The middle-aged man looked nervous. He wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and gave a forced smile.

"Half a month ago, within a month!"

Xu Hao spoke.

He achieved his purpose of looking for Huang Song and others.

Four hundred thousand! No large amount of funds were found to be transferred from the other party to the luxury store! These two pieces of information were what he wanted!

Xu Huo is a big thief, but he is not a gangster thief.

If you want to find the store that handles contraband goods or search for fund transfers, you need a veteran in the underworld, especially a famous veteran like Huang Song.

Why? Because money can be spent not only in public places, but also in secret.

For example, gambling!

The murderer might use the money to gamble and enjoy the feeling. It's not that the police can't find out about the casino, but it's very troublesome and seems extremely procrastinating compared to the case which is racing against time.

On the contrary, it would be different if you found a veteran.

That gang has their own tricks of visiting local forces, and they can find out the existence of local forces in a short time.

Right now, the murderer has not spent a large amount of money, either on the surface or in secret, so Xu Hao can continue with his actions.

"well."

The person in charge hurried outside and went to the archives to gather things late at night.

Li Jianye glanced at the scene around him.

This is one of the few wholesale centers in Linlan City.

Here, you can find everything you want, from steel materials to clothing and food. There is nothing you can't think of that is not sold! There are people everywhere during the day, and even at 8:30 in the evening, there are still many people left.

As for what Xu Huo came here for. "Four hundred thousand? Can I find it here?"

Li Jianye asked in a low voice.

"Captain Li, what do you think the money can be used for?"

Xu Hao was not in a hurry to explain the results of his thinking to the other party. Instead, he looked at him and slowly began to guide him while the person in charge was away.

"Money to spend?"

Li Jianye paused and said suspiciously.

"That's right, money has only one purpose, and that is spending!"

Xu Hao nodded.

The only function of money is consumption. Of course, if you insist that it can be used like tissue to wipe your butt, that's not impossible.

But the murderer needs to use 400,000 yuan to clean up his mess?

Then it just took a lot of time.

"He steals money just to spend it."

"For petty thieves, money comes easily and simply, so they don't cherish it. They often spend money lavishly and become spendthrifts."

Xu Hao nodded, then changed the subject and began to talk about the characteristics of the thief.

In fact, it's not just petty thieves, any profession that makes money quickly is like this.

For example, some of the internet celebrities in the previous life, who were occasionally popular for a while, had their consumption concepts shaped into a wasteful state, and it was difficult for them to return to normal working conditions.

Therefore, in order to satisfy their own consumption desires, many people will choose to become welfare j who can fly all over the country.

Or, the rich ones.

He doesn't care about sports cars worth millions or bottles of wine worth hundreds of thousands.

Who likes saving money the most?

Migrant workers, grassroots workers.

Therefore, those who make money quickly also spend a lot, and when the spending is high, the items purchased are generally very expensive, otherwise they cannot be spent at all.

Just like when you go to a restaurant, if you order a thousand servings of smashed cucumber and one serving of king crab, they may cost the same. For the former, the chef will be so tired that he will want to chop you to death, but for the latter, the boss will just count the money with a smile.

"After getting the money, thieves will subconsciously plan their future enjoyment based on the amount of money."

"So, we also make normal deductions based on the money stolen by the other party and look for places where we can spend the money."

Xu Hao said so.

Four hundred thousand yuan, everyone wants to spend it.

But in fact, given the murderer's situation, it is really difficult to spend all the money.

First, you can’t buy luxury decorations, and second, you can’t buy a house or a car. You can only use it to enjoy your daily life.

Nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun.

A starting sum of four hundred thousand these days is equivalent to about one million in the previous life.

How can one spend millions in a short period of time, in half a month? To be honest, if you follow the high-end restaurants of the seemingly rich in ordinary society, a meal costs nearly 60 to 70 thousand, 30 thousand a day, and it is estimated to be about the same for a month.

But the murderer only had half a month at most. All thieves knew that half a month was a long time to escape for such a crime! In addition, the other party would need a lot of time to scout the place and kill people.

So how should it be spent?

Can't spend it.

From the perspective of ordinary people, it is impossible to spend it all from the perspective of ordinary people's lives.

"The problem is back to the so-called smashed cucumber and king crab."

"Tell me, is there a possibility that although the murderer stole more than 400,000 yuan, he did not eat the 'king crab', but..."

Xu Hao paused, looked at Li Jianye, and spoke.

"But it's the so-called 'smashing cucumbers'?"

"A watch can cost 100,000 yuan, so tens of thousands of servings of smashed cucumbers can also cost 100,000 yuan."

"We checked the watch and found that the other party had no purchase information, so it must be the only one."

Watches, what is king crab? It is a luxury item!

Cucumbers are cheap items that ordinary people would hardly even look at if they had money.

When you have money, you enjoy better things. This is common people’s logic and the subconscious of normal people.

The murderer had money, four hundred thousand, but the police did not find any information about enjoying anything better, so it could only be the remaining cheap stuff.

"When all options have been eliminated, no matter how incredible the remaining one is, it is the only answer!"

Xu Hao looked at the people around him and said slowly:

"He stole $400,000 and used it to buy it."

"Tens of thousands of 'cucumbers'."

Li Jianye paused, then was stunned.

"this"

"You mean, he spent money on something that anyone could buy?"

"And the amount of money required to buy is no different from luxury goods!?"

Xu Hao nodded.

Is this incredible? Yes, it is incredible.

First of all, the other party violated the underlying logic of human desires.

Human beings are upwardly compatible creatures.

Do you envy beggars who wander around? No.

Do you envy the children who live in war-torn areas every day? No.

But fine clothes and delicious food will attract you!

Similarly, when you are living in an environment of luxury, would you envy the workers who work like slaves every day? No.

Do you want to become a billionaire, which is your lifelong dream, or do you want to own a house the size of your own toilet in a first-tier city?

It doesn't make sense logically! But the murderer did it! "Officer, we didn't find the 400,000, but we found two orders that met your requirements, about 300,000. They were transferred from the end of October to the beginning of November within 15 days, and then left Linlan City."

At some point, the person in charge came back in a hurry with the files.

He unfolded the file in his hand, revealing the contents.

Xu Huo looked over.

Obviously, two trafficking records appeared in sight.

The first one was an order placed on October 25th, with a total amount of RMB 350,000. The information on the other side of the order was rather vague.

The order was jointly taken over by four manufacturers, who provided large amounts of milk, bread, eight-treasure porridge and other food, which were shipped to several orphanages in Linlan City.

“Who is the buyer?”

Xu Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at these cheap products.

"I don't remember. To be honest, no one wanted to take the job at first. His identity was a bit fake, but he had money."

The person in charge said embarrassedly.

"After all, they are being sent to an orphanage. In fact, someone bought it anonymously before and had it shipped there."

Their identities were unknown, and food was not a sensitive issue, not even the orphanage, so they didn't bother to pursue the matter and just gave the money.

“I asked you who the buyer was.”

Xu Hao glanced at him and spoke calmly in a calm tone.

The person in charge felt nervous and did not make excuses for his wholesale market.

"I don't know him. He's not very old, probably around 20 years old," the person in charge said quickly.

"Is there a mole at the corner of your eye?" Li Jianye reminded.

The person in charge thought about it and clapped his hands, "Yes, there is a mole!"

“It’s really him!”

Li Jianye was shocked.

We found out where the murderer's money went! He stole 400,000 yuan, but he didn't enjoy the 400,000 yuan he should have, but bought a lot of cheap items!

"The case six years ago, was it because of food? Or was it because of something else?"

Qian Hua keenly thought of what he had found out in the afternoon.

"Starved to death. Yes, the first person to die was from both thirst and hunger!"

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Li Jianye frowned. He had a different idea. "I think it has something to do with the murderer himself."

"From what Huang Song said, he went out by himself when he was eleven years old, without any family members to visit him. He walked from Penglai City to Linlan City when he was eleven years old, and witnessed the case six years ago. This may be related to this aspect."

Is it relevant? It doesn't matter.

Xu Hao didn't pay attention to this and moved his eyes to another place.

That is the second transaction information.

"Same month, mid-November, five days after the first order was completed."

"Someone sold a batch of food for 250,000 yuan?"

Xu Hao paused and narrowed his eyes.

Two people nearby also came over to watch.

Compared with the first piece of information, this one is very ordinary, including personnel information, without any ambiguity.

The recipient address is a company in another province, and the other party bought it to distribute welfare benefits.

But what about the shipping address? "Orphanage?"

Qian Hua's pupils shrank and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He looked up in disbelief and looked at Xu Hao.

"The company behind three private orphanages sold a batch of food for 250,000 yuan!?"

"ah?"

Li Jianye's head was buzzing.

He squinted his eyes and looked hard.

But the text on the document remains the same as before.

First, the murderer spent 350,000 yuan to buy a large amount of food and sent it to welfare homes, orphanages and other places.

Article 2: The welfare home sold a batch of food at a price of RMB 250,000. The addresses of the welfare homes are all the same.

In other words, "These grandsons sold the items he donated anonymously!?"

Li Jianye was shocked. He never expected this to happen.

But then, the three of them immediately sensed a hint of something.

"broken!"

Li Jianye and Qian Hua's faces changed, and the next second, they suddenly slapped their thighs and rushed out.

Xu Hao looked at the back, his eyes thoughtful, but he followed.

After a moment.

The police car turned into a beam of light and rushed somewhere rapidly.

December 5th, 10:30 pm.

Xu Hao, Li Jianye, Qian Hua and others passed the wrong place twice.

Finally, he came to a house.

This is a villa, and it costs nearly a million.

"Squeak~"

The moment everyone pushed open the door, an extremely fishy smell immediately hit them.

The stench seemed to solidify into substance and turn into a piece of cloth covering people's faces!

“Bang!”

Xu Hao turned on the light.

A dead body hanged before my eyes.

One end of the rope was connected to the fan, and the other end was tied around the neck of the corpse.

There was a hole in the other person's stomach, and the intestines inside slid out like water. They had already rotted and emitted a disgusting smell.

The man's hands were chopped off, and a large amount of money was stuffed in his mouth and eye sockets. Judging from his body appearance, it was obvious that he had been fasted for quite a long time before being killed.

Xu Hao stood in front of him, looked up, and stared at the rotten corpse with a strong stench.

This is the director of a private welfare home.

The other person had been dead for a week.

Looking at him, Xu Hao couldn't help but smile in a trance.

"Oh shit, that's really interesting."

Xu Hao looked at the corpse and couldn't help but laughed.

There was a corpse hanging above his head. He turned around to look at Qian Hua and pointed at the hanged dean.

He had a beaming expression.

"Isn't this a way to seek death?"

Qian Hua and Li Jianye were silent.

The huge villa was unusually silent, with only Xu Hao's voice echoing.

The dean is dead.

The murderer donated supplies to the welfare home, but the other party did not give them to those in need.

He sold it a second time to another person for 250,000 yuan.

He was hanged here by the murderer.

"Tsk, this guy is so interesting."

"Before he died, the murderer risked his life and sneaked into the wealthy area of ​​Linlan City several times to steal 400,000 yuan."

"Before he died, he spent almost all his money to buy supplies and signed an order at the risk of being exposed.

Xu Hao felt that he was not a policeman, so he could say whatever he wanted, as no one could control him anyway.

He looked at the corpse, and the smile on his face grew wider.

"In the end, all the supplies and all the efforts were sold out by him!"

"He sold it to another province at a price one hundred thousand lower!"

"Interesting, really interesting."

His laughter remained, but no other meaning could be discerned. No mockery or anything like that could be heard at all.

It's like, it's just funny.

"murderer."

Qian Hua moved his lips, wanting to say something, but still couldn't utter it, and could only remain silent.

He finally understood.

I understand why the murderer was so crazy when he started killing people in December. I also understand why he was crazy enough to kill people in a crowd! "Don't worry, we still have to catch him. Otherwise, the way he kills will have a huge impact on the order of Linlan City, which is not a good thing for everyone."

Xu Hao smiled and patted Qian Hua on the shoulder and said something to comfort him.

"But where are the people?"

Li Jianye asked with a frown.

Yes, where is the other person?

Where else?

"Where's the guy? Hey, I know."

Xu Hao smiled, looked at the two people's stunned expressions, paused, and said: "You know."

“You know that too!”

Seeing the other party pointing at themselves, Li Jianye and Qian Hua became even more confused.

They knew it themselves!? How come he didn’t know that he knew it!?

"It's actually very obvious what the murderer is doing."

"It's just that no one took this clue seriously, and no one connected it. It's hidden very deeply."

Xu Hao smiled and shook his head.

But as he laughed, his expression gradually became more restrained. He turned around, his eyes full of hostility as he glanced at the hung, swollen and rotten corpse.

He said: "Notify the back office, notify everyone, and start."

"Catch him!"
