Chapter 4 Their Greed (II) Analysis
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Ye Bai showed no fear and calmly began his analysis: "First, we noticed that the deceased was only wearing a pair of boxer briefs when he was found, which suggests that the first crime scene is likely to be in the bedroom or toilet of his home.
Considering that the deceased was wrapped in a bed sheet, I speculated that the murderer was most likely an acquaintance of the deceased, or even his wife or girlfriend. Secondly, to kill an adult male who is over 1.7 meters tall, the murderer would most likely have done it when the victim was asleep or defenseless. Moreover, moving the body requires a certain amount of physical strength, which makes me suspect that this case may be the result of cooperation among multiple people.
As for the motives for murder, I think they are nothing more than the following: murder caused by emotional entanglement, premeditated murder due to debt disputes, homicide caused by long-term accumulated family conflicts, conflicts between acquaintances, or murder caused by impulse after drinking. Taking all factors into consideration, I am more inclined to believe that this murder was a crime of passion caused by the victim's long-term domestic violence and emotional entanglements. ”
After saying that, Ye Bai turned his gaze to Han Jianye, as if seeking his approval.
Han Jianye nodded slightly and commented concisely and forcefully: "Very accurate analysis."
Then, he quickly and methodically assigned tasks: "Liao Wei, you are responsible for leading the team to the police stations in various jurisdictions to investigate the case reports in the past month and collect all the missing persons information that meets the characteristics of the deceased.
Su Wan, you lead your team to the streets around the river to check the roadside surveillance. The murderer may have used a vehicle to dispose of the body. I am worried that some surveillance videos may have been updated and covered, so you need to expand the search range as much as possible.
As for me, I will go with Ye Bai's team to a village near the river to conduct an investigation and look for an adult male who has been missing for about a month. As long as no one deliberately conceals it, we have a good chance of finding the source of the corpse as soon as possible. ”
After the meeting, Su Wan patted Ye Bai on the shoulder and praised him, "Not bad, Xiaobai, your analysis is exactly what I was thinking."
Ye Bai chuckled and said, "I'm just expressing my thoughts."
Liao Wei suddenly interrupted: "This is already very good."
At this moment, Han Jianye's voice suddenly came from behind them, "Why don't you start working now? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Liao Wei's face changed after hearing this, and he was the first to run away, "Goodbye."
"I'm leaving too, bye!" Su Wan followed, leaving Ye Bai holding the notebook and watching the two of them run away.
Behind him was Han Jianye walking towards him, his brows and eyes were calm, and his handsome profile looked unusually cold under the light.
Han Jianye passed by him, his eyes fell on his face, and his voice was indifferent, "It will be dawn in two or three hours. At this time, everyone in the village is still sleeping. Let's get ready first and set off at dawn."
"Okay, Captain Han." Ye Bai responded immediately.
Then he watched Han Jianye walk away and sighed in his heart.
He now understood why Wen Yuexi had warned him in advance, saying that he was an interesting person, which seemed to be an understatement.
At this time, Ye Bai saw Han Jianye and investigator Qi Xiaolei eating instant noodles.
Qi Xiaolei handed him a bucket of sauerkraut-flavored instant noodles and said with a smile, "Ye Bai, don't you want to eat something? We'll set off for the village after daybreak."
Ye Bai's eyes stayed on the bottle of energy drink containing 7 sugar cubes and the instant noodles with a calorie content of 500 kcal. He shook his head.
As a person who is extremely picky about diet and insists on daily fitness, he strictly controls his calorie intake to maintain a healthy body and meet daily tasks and challenges.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Qi Xiaolei asked again: "You really don't want to eat it? Then I'll take it away."
Ye Bai still shook his head silently, expressing his gratitude but rejection.
He has strict requirements on diet. Except in specific circumstances, he usually eats light food and prefers light meals.
He picked up his phone, appeared to be messaging someone, and returned to his seat.
Han Jianye glanced at Ye Bai with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.
His requirements for team members are simple: observe discipline, work efficiently, and don't hold the team back because of personal heroism.
As for what Ye Bai eats, he doesn't care as long as it doesn't affect his work.
An hour later, Ye Bai received a call and left. When he came back, he was holding two things in his hands: a light meal of a chicken leg and fried egg sandwich and a bacon and egg salad, and a pack of tissues.
Qi Xiaolei couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Where did you get this?"
Ye Bai replied calmly: "My brother sent it to me. It was made by his aunt."
When Qi Xiaolei heard the words "live-in auntie", she was stunned. She half-jokingly said, "You, a man, live a more refined life than me, a woman. It seems that you, a young master, came to the police station to experience life."
Ye Bai doesn't like people calling him Young Master. He is an idealistic man who only wants to do what he likes.
He explained: "I used to work at the Qiyang City Branch, and the midnight snacks there were pretty good."
Coincidentally, these words were heard by Han Jianye and Political Commissar Gao who were passing by.
Political Commissar Gao, formerly known as Gao Keyan, is the political commissar of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Public Security Department.
They walked to the corner of the corridor. Political Commissar Gao adjusted the collar of his jacket with a serious expression, coughed lightly, and said to Han Jianye meaningfully: "Don't eat instant noodles all the time, change it occasionally."
He thought to himself: Humph, the conditions in our Zhunan Police Station are also very good.
"I understand, Commissar."
Han Jianye's eyes sank slightly, thinking that Ye Bai had been seconded here, why was he still thinking about his original unit?
Are you still thinking about going back?
Ye Bai didn't seem to understand that he couldn't go back without his approval.
At dawn, Han Jianye took Ye Bai and others to visit and investigate the villages along the river.
Only when they arrived did they find out that the village was called Lianhu Village. Everyone in the village had the surname Zhong, and there were about 100 households.
Several old men and women were sitting under two banyan trees at the entrance of the village, and they decided to act separately.
Ye Bai and Qi Xiaolei were in a group. They went up to them politely and asked them. After all, the so-called Village Intelligence Bureau was not named for nothing.
"Grandpas and old ladies, do you know if there has been a man around 40 years old who has suddenly disappeared from the village since April this year?"
One of the old ladies looked at Ye Bai and said jokingly, "Young man, if you were from our village, you would definitely be the most handsome guy in the village."
The old lady's irrelevant praise for Ye Bai made him smile in a forced way, but now was not the time to talk about this.
