In the large conference room, which was brightly lit, sat Yin Feng, Xu Mengshan and You Mingxu.
You Mingxu looked at the smile on Yin Feng's lips.
Why did she feel that he was a little strange today? He was exceptionally patient and gentle, and offered to brainstorm with these two cobblers.
Xu Mengshan was not an outsider either, so You Mingxu asked, "Why are you so well today?"
Xu Mengshan chuckled.
Yin Feng also felt that Xu Mengshan was not an outsider, so he reached over the corner of the table, pinched her neck, rubbed it twice, and said, "Then I am not doing this for your sake?"
Xu Mengshan coughed lightly. This was too much. They didn’t even treat him as a human being when they were showing off their love.
You Mingxu knocked Yin Feng's hand away.
Yin Feng was telling the truth. Because of You Mingxu, he has always liked Xu Mengshan. And now You Mingxu was finally getting back together with him. Although it had only been a few days, his heart seemed to be always shrouded in a faint joy. She was in a better mood and paid more attention to her brothers.
At this time, Yin Feng had not yet realized that his behavior was called "blind flattery."
Yin Feng added: "It's not just for your sake. Since we have to predict the apprentice's behavior, there is nothing we can't do. With more brains and more ideas, we may be able to gain something."
You Mingxu and Xu Mengshan nodded.
Yin Feng said, "Then let's get started." He leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked down on the two of them like a boss: "You two can say whatever you want, don't worry about whether it's right or wrong. It doesn't matter if it's irrational."
When criminal police analyze and investigate cases, they always put logic first and emphasize rigor. Such brainstorming sessions are rarely done by You Mingxu and his team. They call this "guessing around". However, the two of them still listened to Yin Feng and started to think about it.
Xu Mengshan frowned and thought: "Since he is a crime fanatic, will he buy a lot of books and novels on criminal investigation?"
Yin Feng stood up, walked to the blackboard, and wrote this down: "Continue."
You Mingxu said: "He would pay close attention to cases that have occurred over the years and this type of news."
Yin Feng raised his eyebrows and continued, "It is even possible to actively express your comments and opinions on the case."
Xu Mengshan said: "Since he is so interested in the Xu Baping case, will he try to contact the police who handled the case back then to inquire about the news?"
You Mingxu: “It’s possible!”
"He might be very interested in the murder weapon and buy a lot of similar things, such as binoculars, gloves, magnifying glasses, body bags, scalpels..."
"Has he ever performed an autopsy?"
"Even if you haven't dissected human bodies, is it possible that you have dissected animals?"
"This is his first crime, and it made such a big noise. He must have had some experience and practice before. Does he abuse animals? Does he have a criminal record for attacking women? Does he break into a house by force?"
"How will he deal with the souvenirs? Air-dry them? Bottle them up? Eat them?" When Yin Feng mentioned this possibility, You Mingxu and Xu Mengshan looked at him with complicated expressions. He remained calm and continued brainstorming, "If they are air-dried, they won't look good. If they are eaten, they won't be seen again. He won't be able to bear to part with them. Maybe he will soak them in formalin to make them look good. After all, this is how it is done in many TV dramas and books. When we find where he lives, we may find a few beautiful glass bottles."
…
The three of them discussed freely for more than an hour. Yin Feng filled the blackboard with dense notes and crossed out many possibilities that everyone thought were uncheckable or worthless. In the end, he left five:
1. He may have contact with the police who handled the case at that time - he needs to find the police at that time to ask;
2. He may pay close attention to news about murders and publicly comment on them in an attempt to attract attention. You can search for similar clues online to see if there are any suspicious persons.
3. He purchased prohibited knives and items;
4. He may have attacked women before - verify recent cases of stalking, attempted rape or attack on women in the area;
5. He may have forced his way into the house - check for recent reports of this kind in the area.
After this discussion, Xu Mengshan and You Mingxu both felt suddenly enlightened. Xu Mengshan looked at Yin Feng with even more appreciation. He put his arm around Yin Feng's shoulder and said, "Teacher Yin, you are really great. Now I think you and Sister You are a perfect match!"
You Mingxu glanced at Xu Mengshan but did not refute.
Yin Feng smiled deeply and said, "Of course." He glanced at Xu Mengshan and said, "Do you want me to introduce you to a schoolmate?"
Xu Mengshan laughed loudly, but You Mingxu rolled his eyes at him. Ha, now that you have introduced your schoolmate to someone else, are you acting like a playboy again? He dares! Also, when did these two become so close that they started discussing women together?
You Mingxu said calmly: "Have you laughed enough? Why don't you get on with the business?"
Xu Mengshan winked at Yin Feng, who leaned forward slightly, looked at You Mingxu and said, "Of course we have to talk about business. I'll listen to you."
Xu Mengshan was almost stunned to death. He turned his head and looked to the side. You Mingxu still didn't look kindly at Yin Feng and said, "So how do we investigate next?"
These conclusions can be said to be far-fetched and have no empirical evidence, but they were drawn after serious discussion, and they are what they think the murderer is very likely to have done.
Yin Feng said: "The second and third points involve the Internet. I will ask Guan Jun to check it out."
Xu Mengshan nodded: "Then I will implement the first, fourth and fifth."
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the unstoppable light in each other's eyes.
——
That day, when Yin Feng and You Mingxu returned home, it was already past 1 a.m.
Yin Feng went to take a shower, and when he came out, he saw You Mingxu lying on the bed, still reading the files tirelessly.
He walked to the bedside without saying a word, and You Mingxu got goosebumps.
But he just laid down on the bed, pressed her from behind, and buried his head.
You Mingxu was pressed down by him so hard that his whole body trembled. He asked, "What are you crazy about?"
He said calmly: "I want to go crazy when I see you."
You Mingxu thought about the performance of someone who had just recovered from a serious injury in the past few days and sneered.
Yin Feng naturally thought of this, smiled, and said, "I am only crazy about you."
You Mingxu turned around and hugged him like this, and there seemed to be some kind of quiet and soft atmosphere lingering around them.
