The Innocent Murderer 02 - Hidden Danger
There are a lot of things in this world, once the order is reversed, it can make people feel a terrible feeling, especially the limbs. The corpse in front of him showed a kind of extreme distortion, and the appearance of the messy corpse cut into letters was indescribable. All the people with cigarettes lit the cigarettes, suppressing the feeling of tumbling in their stomachs, Gongsun smiled, "Don't say it, this thing is really more disgusting than irregular, especially the corpse."
"How long have they been dead?" Bai Yutang asked Gongsun.
"Three days." Gongsun pinched out the cigarette butt in the cigarette case and put on the gloves. "We didn't dare to go in. I want you to take a look first."
Bai Yutang nodded, squatted down and looked at the incision carefully, and asked Gongsun, "This cut is too neat."
"Indeed." Gongsun nodded. "It was done by a person with professional medical knowledge and who is proficient in anatomy."
Everyone's attention was on the corpse, but Zhan Zhao raised his foot carefully to avoid the blood stains and walked into the living room.
"Cat?" Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao puzzledly, and saw him slowly walking into the center of the living room, staring at an unfinished jigsaw puzzle on the coffee table.
This is a puzzle of Doraemon. The style is very cute, but it is only half of the puzzle, leaving a blank in the middle.
"The kid is probably fighting… " Luo Tian looked down and said, a little lost.
Zhan Zhao walked around the coffee table, stood in front of the sofa, looked down at the jigsaw puzzle.
Everyone was attracted by Zhan Zhao's strange behavior. Bai Yutang and Gongsun looked at each other, stood up, walked to Zhan Zhao's side, and looked down at the puzzle.
Zhan Zhao suddenly raised his head and looked around, as if he was looking for something, his eyes faintly anxious.
"Cat, what are you looking for?" Bai Yutang asked in a low voice, reaching out to pat Zhan Zhao.
"There is one more..." Zhan Zhao whispered as he walked out of the crowd, anxiously circled the room a few times, and his eyes finally fell on a shoe box facing the living room by the door.
He walked quickly, squatted down in front of the shoe box, and looked back at Bai Yutang nervously.
Bai Yutang led the crowd towards him and saw Zhan Zhao gently tugging on the lid of the shoe box. The shoe box lid opened slowly. Everyone took a breath of air, and saw a four or five-year-old girl curled up inside, with a pair of eyes open. They were huge, staring at the crowd closely, and it could be seen from her slightly undulating chest that she was still alive.
"Call an ambulance!" Bai Yutang shouted, and Bai Chi quickly called for an ambulance.
Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and shook it before the little girl's eyes. Her eyes didn't even blink.
Gongsun leaned over to look at her, and whispered, "There is a problem with her pupils, this child is terrified."
Bai Yutang reached out and lifted the child out. She didn't even react at all, and it was obvious that she had been hiding in it for three days, she was too weak.
Soon, the doctor came and took the little girl into an ambulance. Bai Chi and Luo Tian followed, leaving the others to continue to check the scene.
Everyone was busy separately, but Zhan Zhao sat on the sofa, looking down at the puzzles on the table in a daze.
"Cat, even though it's your relative on this puzzle, you don't need to take it like this." Seeing his serious expression, Bai Yutang couldn't help teasing.
"Go away!" Zhan Zhao waved his hand and asked Bai Yutang, "Do you know how this puzzle is made?"
Bai Yutang touched his chin and shook his head.
Zhan Zhao pointed his finger to his left, "Here is the dead little boy sitting here." Pointing to the right again, "There is the little girl. A person in the middle classifies similar pieces of jigsaw puzzles for the two of them..." Pointing to a remote control on a separate sofa next to it, "Dad is sitting on the sofa and flipping through the TV... Mom is in the kitchen."
Bai Yutang raised his head and looked at Zhan Zhao for a long time, "You mean...In your seat now, is where the murderer was sitting?"
Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows and nodded.
"Then he should have known that there is still a little girl in this room?" Bai Yutang was surprised, "Why is she still alive?"
"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao pointed to the corpse at the door, and said, "Dad's leg and the boy's arm form "I", mother's legs, head and the boy's torso form "YOU”, and the remaining pieces form “LOVE”, one is not much, and one is a lot.
"Don't you think that the murderer was to save raw materials, so he let the little girl go." Bai Yutang asked.
"To be precise...giving you those corpses, how long will it take you to make ILOVEYOU?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.
"Don't ask me such a perverted question." Bai Yutang shook his head.
"The scene was cleaned up very clean." Zhan Zhao said, "The murderer's actions were obviously premeditated, so he should plan carefully in advance. In other words, the basis of his consideration is three people."
"When the security of the building called the police, it was said that it was a family of three, not three of the four." Bai Yutang nodded, "In other words, the little girl is not from this family, she came here suddenly."
"The murderer shut her in the shoebox because he was afraid that she would come out and mess up the scene." Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "Her pupils are dilated...hypnotized."
"What?" Bai Yutang was puzzled, "hypnotize the child?"
"This murderer is not easy." Zhan Zhao went to the door and stared at the corpse on the ground and asked, "Guess who he loves?"
"It's not me." Bai Yutang shrugged indifferently, and walked out of the building to get some fresh air.
Soon, the team collecting evidence and taking pictures were all busy. Gongsun asked someone to transport the corpses back. He also went back with the car. The others collected the team, but Bai Yutang could not be found.
Zhan Zhao told the others to go back first, but he made two turns and walked to the back of the community. Before taking a few steps, he saw Bai Yutang sitting on the fence outside the basketball court, talking with a few high school students. Zhan Zhao walked over, patted him, and said, "They are all gone." Bai Yutang nodded, leaving the few students alone, turned over and over the fence, and walked back with Zhan Zhao.
"What do you think?" Bai Yutang asked.
"There has been no similar murder so far. I think it is more likely to seek revenge." Zhan Zhao walked and looked at the environment of the community, "This place is good."
"Yes, there are schools nearby, and the flow of people is relatively large." Bai Yutang sighed, "It's not easy to check."
When the two got into the car, Bai Yutang started the car and asked the silent Zhan Zhao, "What's the matter with the cat, you seemed off just now."
Zhan Zhao looked at the scenery along the road and suddenly asked, "Xiao Bai, don't you think that this is not the murderer’s first crime?"
After hearing this, Bai Yutang was silent for a while, and said, "After entering the house, I feel that this is definitely not the first time he has killed."
"Do you think so too?" Zhan Zhao was even more worried, "Where did the people who he killed before them go? Such an obvious style should be found by checking."
"This guy is really a pervert!" Bai Yutang said as he drove the car. "The purpose of committing such a blatant crime is to make the police pay attention to the challenge and the other is to hide. He is obviously a veteran and has to stay. It’s the first time to witness such a contradictory murderer."
"Calm down, Captain Bai..." Zhan Zhao smiled and patted Bai Yutang on the shoulder, and said, "This case is so bizarre, and Bao Sir will definitely say, "You are only allowed to solve the case for half a month, or you will clean the toilet.”"
Bai Yutang's face turned black. Seeing the cat beside him was gloating, he laughed after thinking about it, and asked, "Cat, you finished writing?"
… An arrow hit Zhan Zhao’s sore spot, and the cat became irritated! Flicking a paw, he is going to fight the damn mouse.
While he was making a noise, Bai Yutang suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Fang Wo's case was handled by Uncle An, right?"
Zhan Zhao was asked for a moment, "Why ask about Fang Wo suddenly?"
"I heard from Bao Sir this morning that Fang Wo will be sentenced in two days." Bai Yutang said lightly, "It seems that Uncle An has decided to retire as soon as Fang Wo's case is closed."
"Uncle An is the same age as your dad, right?" Zhan Zhao asked, "It's really not easy to retire."
"Yes." Bai Yutang turned the steering wheel and the car slowly approached the police station. The two of them were taken aback.
"Why are so many people surrounded?" Zhan Zhao pointed to several news vehicles and many individuals in front of the police station building, "What are you doing?!"
Bai Yutang stopped the car, got out of the car, and heard many people shouting: "Fang Wo is not guilty, let Fang Wo go... The police station is looking for a scapegoat..."
"Wow..." Zhan Zhao got out of the car, "This is the first time I have seen this type of battle."
"They should go to the gate of the court to make trouble. Why are they coming to the police station?" Bai Yutang frowned and entered the building through the side door with Zhan Zhao. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a young girl rushing up and shouted, "Dr. Zhan? Are you Dr. Zhan?"
Zhan Zhao was taken aback and nodded.
"This!" The girl stuffed a thick book to Zhan Zhao, and said, "I am a graduate student in psychology at T University. I know that you are an authority in this area. Please take a look at my survey information! Fang Wo was wronged!"
"Huh?" Zhan Zhao looked at the girl in a puzzled manner. At this moment, a few security guards rushed up and asked the girl to go outside and said to Zhan Zhao, "Sorry, Dr. Zhan, they have been at the door for a long time. She slipped in without us noticing.”
"Why? I have the right to speak." The girl said fiercely.
The security was also embarrassed, "Miss, this is the police station, no idlers are allowed in, can you go somewhere else?"
"Wait a minute." Zhan Zhao stopped the security and asked the girl, "Are all the people at the door with you?"
"That’s right!" The girl nodded, glared at the security guard, and said to Zhan Zhao, "We are from a school, and we are doing psychology research with teacher Lu Liang. Not long ago, Fang Wo sent a long letter to the teacher. The letter said that he was wronged, so the teacher took us to do research on this subject. After many investigations and professional analysis, the data and evidence are in the book, which proves that Fang Wo is innocent! But because we are an unofficial psychological institution, the evidence is not accepted, and the officer responsible for investigating this case does not listen to our opinions at all!"
"Dr. Zhan, can I bring them out?" The security guard looked at Zhan Zhao embarrassedly, "Letting them run into the police station, it will be hard for me to explain it to my boss."
"Sorry." Zhan Zhao nodded to the security guard, who immediately invited the girl out.
"Dr. Zhan, we just don't think we can wrong an innocent person in order to solve the case. Please take a look at the information..." After shouting, she left unwillingly.
Zhan Zhao looked at the large stack of materials in his hand, looked back at Bai Yutang, turned his head around, and saw an old man standing at the elevator entrance looking at them.
"Uncle An?" Bai Yutang greeted him.
An Youdao is an old policeman in his fifties. He has a bad complexion and walks over slowly, saying, "Why, Captain Bai wants to take over this case?"
Bai Yutang winked at Zhan Zhao, as if to say, "What should I do? The old man is going crazy."
Zhan Zhao noticed that An Youdao's eyes glanced at the pile of materials in his hands from time to time. When his mind moved, Bai Yutang gave a wink. Bai Yutang suddenly shouted, "Ah, Cat, you edit!" (Angel: the original text uses 编辑, which translates to edit. This sentence makes no sense to me but I can’t change it since that is exactly what he says ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
"Ah?!" Zhan Zhao was shocked, and said to Bai Yutang: "You block me, I will run!" He said, and said to Uncle An: "Bye bye Uncle An." He rushed into the elevator.
An Youdao frowned, just about to chase him, but heard Bai Yutang say: "Tsk...this group of students, half a bucket of screaming, they can't be dead." (Angel: thanks to one of my fabulous readers for explaining it to me, I now understand what "half a bucket of screaming" means; a person who only has half of the information is trying to persuade others with faulty arguments)
"You two." An Youdao sighed and shook his head, "Don't forget that I watched you two grow up, and if you are curious, check it out!" After speaking, he turned and left angrily.
Bai Yutang touched his head in a shameless manner and went back to the office.
Gongsun’s autopsy was not over yet. Bai Yutang called the hospital. Bai Chi said that the little girl’s condition had stabilized, but she had been greatly stimulated, and now she was confused and couldn’t say anything. She needed further observation.
After receiving the phone call, Bai Yutang asked everyone what they had investigated.
"The little girl was called Zhao Jing, four years old, and was the niece of the deceased. The deceased Zhao Wuhua, 36 years old, was a professional accountant. His wife Wu Min was a university teacher, and his son Zhao Tong was six years old and had just started elementary school." Wang Chao read the information he just found.
"Accountant..." Ma Han touched his chin. "Boss, it's easy to know too much in this profession and get killed by others, and it seems that his family is quite rich, maybe there is something at play."
Bai Yutang nodded, "You and Zhao Hu will check the deceased’s business contacts. Wang Chao and Zhang Long will check their social circle to see if there is any change in sentiments. Jiang Ping, you will search all similar dismemberment cases in the past six months Come out, let's check it."
"Yes!" Everyone went separately. Bai Yutang picked up his coat and wanted to ask Zhan Zhao to go to the hospital to see the child, but saw that Zhan Zhao was seriously looking at the pile of materials in his hand.
"Cat, do you really think?" Bai Yutang leaned over, "Is this information reliable?"
"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao shook his head lightly, and said, "It's behavioral analysis supported by some data... It can be supplemented but cannot be used as key evidence, because probability and paradigm cannot be used in psychology."
"Is the Lu Liang mentioned by the girl just now the Lu Liang who teaches people everywhere and psychologically determines behavior'?" Bai Yutang asked suddenly.
"It should be." Zhan Zhao nodded, "but he is a wild road, and most of the psychology he talks about is superficial. It's okay to deceive ordinary people who don't have common sense of psychology, such as in business or in the workplace, but not when it’s for use in criminal investigation. In school, it is so unreliable.”
"Fang Wo's case is so turbulent, part of the reason is because of him, right?" Bai Yutang asked, "It seems that he often hears his name appearing with Fang Wo's news."
Zhan Zhao nodded, covered the information and said, "They are going to give Fang Wo a polygraph."
"Lie test?" Bai Yutang was surprised, "Can you approve it?"
Zhan Zhao nodded, "In short, the most important thing now is that there is a murder weapon and no evidence. Once Fang Wo passes the polygraph test, it will be difficult to detain him again."
"Do you want to control it?" Bai Yutang asked, "Let's take a look again, I don't think it's reliable."
Zhan Zhao nodded, and said, "There are not many official psychological counseling detectives in China, but there are a few. If one is willing to help, it is possible to approve Fang Wo's polygraph."
"Let's take care of our case first." Bai Yutang collected Zhan Zhao's information and turned his face back, "This is waiting to be seen!"
Zhan Zhao nodded, collected the information, and went to the hospital with Bai Yutang.
After staying in the hospital until the night, the little girl was in a coma. Finally, Luo Tian and the police officer on duty were left to take care of her, and the others returned to the police station.
Walking to the small restaurant at the entrance of the hospital, the three cried out in hunger walked in, one asked for a bowl of noodles, and chatted about the case as they ate. At this time, the TV news being broadcast in the shop attracted the attention of several people. The news was about the court’s approval of the other party to conduct a polygraph. The reason was that several official psychologists agreed that from the perspective of behavioral analysis, Fang Wo was not the real culprit in this murder case. In the subsequent program, the host and the guests talked about the utility of psychology in solving crimes, and also used Zhan Zhao's book as proof, saying that psychology is amazing.
Bai Yutang shook his head helplessly, pushing Zhan Zhao, and said, "Cat, if you don't eat the noodles, they will become rotten." But seeing Zhan Zhao frowned, he stared at the TV screen in a daze.
"Brother, what's the matter?" Bai Chi patted Zhan Zhao, "Are you tired?"
Zhan Zhao turned around and said suddenly, "It seems...something is wrong."
"Where?" Bai Chi and Bai Yutang asked in unison.
"I haven't figured it out yet." Zhan Zhao picked up a bowl of noodles and was struggling all night, always feeling that something was about to happen.
The Innocent Murderer 02 - Hidden Danger
There are a lot of things in this world, once the order is reversed, it can make people feel a terrible feeling, especially the limbs. The corpse in front of him showed a kind of extreme distortion, and the appearance of the messy corpse cut into letters was indescribable. All the people with cigarettes lit the cigarettes, suppressing the feeling of tumbling in their stomachs, Gongsun smiled, "Don't say it, this thing is really more disgusting than irregular, especially the corpse."
"How long have they been dead?" Bai Yutang asked Gongsun.
"Three days." Gongsun pinched out the cigarette butt in the cigarette case and put on the gloves. "We didn't dare to go in. I want you to take a look first."
Bai Yutang nodded, squatted down and looked at the incision carefully, and asked Gongsun, "This cut is too neat."
"Indeed." Gongsun nodded. "It was done by a person with professional medical knowledge and who is proficient in anatomy."
Everyone's attention was on the corpse, but Zhan Zhao raised his foot carefully to avoid the blood stains and walked into the living room.
"Cat?" Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao puzzledly, and saw him slowly walking into the center of the living room, staring at an unfinished jigsaw puzzle on the coffee table.
This is a puzzle of Doraemon. The style is very cute, but it is only half of the puzzle, leaving a blank in the middle.
"The kid is probably fighting… " Luo Tian looked down and said, a little lost.
Zhan Zhao walked around the coffee table, stood in front of the sofa, looked down at the jigsaw puzzle.
Everyone was attracted by Zhan Zhao's strange behavior. Bai Yutang and Gongsun looked at each other, stood up, walked to Zhan Zhao's side, and looked down at the puzzle.

Zhan Zhao nodded, and said, "There are not many official psychological counseling detectives in China, but there are a few. If one is willing to help, it is possible to approve Fang Wo's polygraph."
"Let's take care of our case first." Bai Yutang collected Zhan Zhao's information and turned his face back, "This is waiting to be seen!"
Zhan Zhao nodded, collected the information, and went to the hospital with Bai Yutang.
After staying in the hospital until the night, the little girl was in a coma. Finally, Luo Tian and the police officer on duty were left to take care of her, and the others returned to the police station.
Walking to the small restaurant at the entrance of the hospital, the three cried out in hunger walked in, one asked for a bowl of noodles, and chatted about the case as they ate. At this time, the TV news being broadcast in the shop attracted the attention of several people. The news was about the court’s approval of the other party to conduct a polygraph. The reason was that several official psychologists agreed that from the perspective of behavioral analysis, Fang Wo was not the real culprit in this murder case. In the subsequent program, the host and the guests talked about the utility of psychology in solving crimes, and also used Zhan Zhao's book as proof, saying that psychology is amazing.
Bai Yutang shook his head helplessly, pushing Zhan Zhao, and said, "Cat, if you don't eat the noodles, they will become rotten." But seeing Zhan Zhao frowned, he stared at the TV screen in a daze.
"Brother, what's the matter?" Bai Chi patted Zhan Zhao, "Are you tired?"
Zhan Zhao turned around and said suddenly, "It seems...something is wrong."
"Where?" Bai Chi and Bai Yutang asked in unison.
"I haven't figured it out yet." Zhan Zhao picked up a bowl of noodles and was struggling all night, always feeling that something was about to happen.
