Brother, he can read minds

In this way, the newspaper office of Metropolis Daily welcomed the visit of two police officers.

It must be a police officer, right?

The old editor who received them pushed the reading glasses and held the police officer's ID far away, squinted his eyes, looked at the police officer's ID and then at the two people in front of him.

"Why don't you wear police uniforms?"

Su Yang is helpless, he seldom goes out to work alone, so he can only tell the truth at this moment: "We are civil servants."

Every wrinkle on the old editor’s face was full of disbelief, until he asked a young girl to confirm again, and then he muttered to let the two of them come with him, and complained as he walked: “The tall one looks a bit like Police officer, how can a shorter one look like a policeman?"

The little girl quickly touched the old editor and told him to stop talking.

Su Yang, who was half a head shorter than Ke Gu behind him, turned dark. If it weren't for Gu Xi's old editor's heart, he would have to use a scalpel.Ke Gu chuckled, bowed his head and said something next to Su Yang's ear: "Hold it, if you really dig it out, he will think you are not a policeman even more."

It really is.

The old editor returned to his position: "You ask, I did the follow-up report on this case." Before Su Yang and the others could speak, he continued, "But let me explain first that it is impossible to delete the report." The editor's expression became agitated, "Don't that person deserve to die? He ruined a girl's life!"

"So he was arrested." Ke Gu said lightly, pushing the frame of the mirror, "He was not innocent in the case back then, but we are not here to investigate the crime he committed back then, but to investigate the cause of his death, please cooperate The police investigation handed over the anonymous report to us."

"This kind of person deserves to die! What is there to investigate?!" The old editor was still very annoyed, and the little girl next to him sighed, hoping that the two police officers would have a better temper.

But she was wrong, if there was a list of the worst tempered people in the world, Su Yang would definitely be in the top ten.

Before Ke Gu could open his mouth, Su Yang couldn't hold back: "Your sense of justice is so strong, you shouldn't be an editor at the beginning, you should be a judge, isn't it good? No matter the severity of the crime, as long as you feel that there is more than enough to die for, you will be fine." Is it not good to impose the death penalty? Killing with a mallet is not much more enjoyable than killing with a pen? Today, when an ordinary citizen dies, we have the responsibility to find out the truth. Today, when a murderer dies, we also have the responsibility to find out the truth. If such a case happens again, you Can you take responsibility?"

The old editor blushed from being choked by Su Yang, and even his breathing became short of breath.

Ke Gu patted Su Yang on the shoulder, and showed the application to the old editor again: "Please cooperate with the police."

The old editor still refused to speak, and in the end the little girl took out a few letters and handed them to Su Yang with the old editor's murderous gaze: "Don't be angry, officer, the teacher is old, don't worry about it, he has no malicious intentions." , but a stronger sense of justice."

Su Yang put on the gloves, took the letter and opened it directly, the more he looked at it, the more he frowned.

But Ke Gu stared at the old editor for a long time: "Did you talk to that person on the phone?"

"Why do you..." The old editor knew he had made a slip of the tongue as soon as he opened his mouth, and then he pursed his lips tightly and refused to speak again.

Hearing this, Su Yang raised his head and looked at Ke Gu. Su Yang handed the letter to Ke Gu: "Brother, take a look."

Su Yang, who looked at the old editor again, took a deep breath and sat opposite the old editor: "Mr., I apologize for what I said just now, but this case has caused panic among the public and the police are under great pressure. Guo Kangwei may be A scumbag, but no matter what, the person who killed Guo Kangwei is also a scumbag. No matter what his purpose is, he is a criminal if he uses criminal means."

The old editor escaped an "um" from his nose.

"Then can you tell me what the person who called you said?"

The old editor sighed, looked at the anxious little girl next to him, and waved his hand: "Go and get it."

Not long after, the little girl brought a CD: "Officer, the recording is in the CD."

……

When he walked out of the newspaper office, Su Yang couldn't help but look back: "That old man actually knows a lot."

"After all, they are all retiring soon, with rich experience, old fox."

"He's actually prepared to give us these evidences long ago..." Su Yang shook his head, "The work of popularizing the law is a long way to go." Sometimes what the people lack is not a few legal provisions, but a deeper legal concept.

Su Yang did this job, so he saw the old man's thoughts. Those materials that had been prepared earlier showed that the old editor had already noticed that the anonymous report phone call to him with a voice changer and the report letter explaining Guo Kangwei's heinous crimes were all true. There was a problem, but he still chose to publish the news, just for the justice he knew in his heart.

Ke Gu nodded, his expression at the moment was uglier than Su Yang: "Call Li Zu, it's not that simple."

At some point, the originally clear sky was covered by dark clouds.Not long after, big raindrops fell down.

Su Yang looked at the sudden downpour outside the window with a slightly worried expression: "Brother, am I thinking too much? I'm worried... there will be more cases."

Ke Gu didn't speak, but stepped on the accelerator tightly to let the car speed up in the wind and rain.

``

"What did you find?" Li Xiaoran, who was in charge of investigating Guo Kangwei's social relationship, was already sitting in the office, and Zeng Yuzheng, who was out with him on the field, was typing on the computer keyboard quickly. Although Zeng Yu was usually taciturn, he He is a veteran of the army and a computer expert.

"Boss?" Su Yang blinked, "You guys are so early? Did you find anything?"

Li Xiaoran nodded and shook his head: "It's no wonder that the third team has not found out the clues. Guo Kangwei's interpersonal relationship is extremely simple. He lives alone, and his relatives have cut off contact with him. He has an ex-wife but has not contacted him for many years, and his ex-wife is now. I was away on a business trip and came back the day after tomorrow. According to neighbors, Guo Kangwei went out once a week to buy some fast food in the supermarket. This was also confirmed by the supermarket staff. Now I ask Zeng Yu to check his online social platform. , I hope to find something." He paused and looked up at Su Yang and Ke Gu, "What about you?"

"We have discovered something here." Ke Gu raised his hand, signaling for Su Yang to speak.

Su Yang gave Li Xiaoran the process of obtaining evidence, including the attitude of the old editor, and the CD-ROM of the letter. After Li Xiaoran read and listened to it, he continued: "There are problems with these letters and CD-ROMs. Both my brother and I think that writing letters and typing The person on the phone should be a person, and he has certain psychological knowledge."

"How to say?"

"He made a trap with these letters. The first letter has nothing to do with Guo Kangwei at all. The point of view conveyed is the concept of an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye; and the second letter tells the life of the woman who was raped by Guo Kangwei. The third letter recorded Guo Kangwei's self-defense in court and wrote it into the verdict; the fourth letter was Guo Kangwei's performance in prison and his photos of attending the party in prison; The fifth letter received by the editor." Su Yang paused, and held up the fifth letter, which contained only one sentence - "Do you think he has really been punished? Don't you think he deserves to die?"

And the recording on the disc is even more creepy, there are only a few dozen seconds of mechanical sound in it——

"A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, this city doesn't need scum."

These seventeen words are creepy, but Li Xiaoran listened to them several times, and finally looked at Su Yang and Ke Gu: "I need professional advice now, how likely do you think the murderer is this person?"

Su Yang and Ke Gu looked at each other, and said in unison: "Very high."

In the end, Su Yang said: "I think there will be a report letter because Guo Kangwei committed a rape case back then. This case was not reported at that time, and it involved personal privacy and was not tried publicly. After 15 years, news reports It can be so detailed, and now that the power of netizens is so powerful, this incident broke out from the paper media first, which is actually a very unusual signal. Although the article published by the Metropolis Daily this morning has the greatest influence, it is not only The Metropolitan Daily and some other paper media also reported on it one after another, which is more evidence of the existence of whistleblowers."

"Furthermore, words such as punisher and scavenger should be used more cautiously by the paper media, but the opposite is true. So I guess, they have a real source of information."

"Then why must it be a letter?" This question was asked by Xu Qin before, but Su Yang didn't answer it. This time he finally found an accurate language to describe: "Because he regards himself as a hero, and a hero is unwilling to be lonely, unwilling for the forgotten."

"Because of this, my senior brother and I are worried that there will be another victim." Although Su Yang said he was unwilling to have anything to do with Ke Gu, subconsciously he couldn't help but seek Ke Gu's approval in the professional field. Something he didn't want to admit and probably didn't even realize.

Ke Gu, who was sought for approval, was sitting in Su Yang's seat and flipping through the case files. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Su Yang, with a little smile in his eyes.

"Do you think this will become a serial murder case? Is there any evidence?" Li Xiaoran looked serious. It's not that he doesn't believe Su Yang and Ke Gu's judgment, but even if there are two corpses now, merging the case is difficult, don't say In the case of only one corpse, how much risk and pressure does it take to make this prediction.

Once such a prediction is made, the direction of the entire investigation will change.Their detection target may even shift from a specific person to an indeterminate group of people, just like finding a needle in a haystack.

And Ke Gu closed the case file, crossed his fingers on the table, and tapped lightly: "In his world, he is the defender of order. He feels that he is the hero of this city, and a hero is not willing to be a hero. Make a case and disappear."
