monologue

Qi Shaocheng was gearing up and said, "I'll go and watch it myself, I've been annoyed by those reporters for a long time."

Chu Xingmu turned around and prepared to explain a few more words, Qi Shaocheng had already taken Jiang Qingshan out.

Zhao Chen said from the side: "We checked all the roads near the entrance of Xiaochong Road yesterday. The place where she was knocked out and dragged by the murderer must not be on Xiaochong Road."

"Does it mean that the murderer has been following Sun Xiaoqi, waiting for the opportunity to commit crimes?"

Zhao Chen nodded: "It's very likely, but Sun Xiaoqi left home around [-]:[-] p.m. and arrived at her aunt's house after [-]:[-] p.m. Sun Xiaoqi's parents said that she was going to stay at her aunt's house that night."

Chu Xingmu asked: "Then why did she leave her aunt's house?"

Lang Lang said: "Sun Xiaoqi has to go home temporarily, and her aunt asked her to bring some things back."

"what?"

"This is a list written by Sun Xiaoqi's aunt." Lang Lang put half of the list in front of Chu Xingmu, "Some specialty products and daily necessities."

Zhao Chen said: "These things were not found at the scene on Xiaochong Road."

Xia Ci fiddled with the materials in his hand and said: "I think the murderer committed the crime with a purpose. Sun Xiaoqi has not yet fully recovered. According to Sun Xiaoqi's travel route, it is speculated that the murderer already knew that Sun Xiaoqi was going out. The other party must be familiar with the old city."

Zhao Chen said: "The time interval between the six murders was no more than three days, and almost two crimes were committed in a week. If the murderer committed the crime at random, it is impossible to leave no clues at the scene, unless he carefully planned each time before committing the crime. Including how to deceive the trust of the victim."

Bai Yao speculated based on what they said: "The murderer chose to commit the crime at night, and he was very familiar with the surrounding environment of the victim's house, and even planned his escape route. Is it possible that the murderer lived near the victim's house? "

Chu Xingmu gave them some old photos developed on his desk, "These are the scene photos of the six murders, let's see if they are different from Sun Xiaoqi's."

Tang Zhe just took a look at the photo, and immediately put the photo on the table in a hurry. Bai Yao said as usual: "Junior brother, it's been almost a year, why are you still afraid of the live photos?"

Zhao Chen pulled out his chair and sat back at his work station and said to Bai Yao, "Don't say Xiaotang is afraid of seeing live photos, sometimes I don't want to."

Tang Zhe turned the photo over and said calmly: "The crime scene in the photo is more visually impactful than the real crime scene."

Chu Xingmu looked at the photos they were holding in their hands. Xia Ci's photo flashed past Chu Xingmu's eyes, and Chu Xingmu suddenly noticed that there seemed to be words behind the photo.

He looked at the photos in Lang Lang and Zhao Chen's hands again, but there were no words on them. Chu Xingmu felt strange, picked up the original photo in front of him, and found a number on the back of the photo.

In order to present and restore the real scene of the crime more intuitively, all the scene photos taken in the murder case will be numbered to facilitate viewing order.

It is not surprising that there are numbers written on the back of the photos, but Chu Xingmu found that the photo numbers in their hands were capitalized Chinese characters, and he hadn't checked the back of the photos carefully before.

Chu Xingmu only knows Zhou Jinlin who is used to numbering the photos with uppercase numbers, because Zhou Jinlin is used to writing with his left hand, but the uppercase numbers are not easy to recognize. Zhou Jinlin has switched to numbering since a long time ago.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Li Yaomin sent Yu Qingyan to call Chu Xingmu and Xia Ci to the conference room.

After the two arrived at the conference room, some people came in intermittently. Yin Zhou, the captain of the criminal investigation team of the third branch of Yongxing District, Chen Yuyao of the anti-narcotics team of the city bureau, Mu Fang and Zhong Changxin, experts in criminal psychology, and the six branches The chief of the bureau, several people from the procuratorate, and even an old forensic doctor who has retired from the city bureau.

When Li Yaomin and others arrived, he said: "The purpose of inviting everyone to come today should be clear to everyone. In the past, due to some omissions by the police and the procuratorate, Director Zhou Jinlin Zhou was wrongly judged as the murderer of the serial murder case. This unjust, false and wrong case It was a major dereliction of duty for the procuratorate and the public security department. The real culprit of the serial murder case committed another crime after five years. Recently, we have received questions and criticisms from the families of the first six victims. The social response is extremely bad. "

Li Yaomin glanced at Wu Huanshan, Wu Huanshan took over the conversation and said: "Everyone here has personally participated in the investigation of the serial murder case. The original task force members were unable to be there due to some special reasons. Mayor Duan requested to set up as soon as possible The task force, after repeated discussions with the higher-ups in the past two days, decided to investigate Director Zhou's false accusation and the seven serial murders together."

Chu Xingmu and Xia Ci looked at each other, and heard the director of the Shanghe branch ask: "To investigate the truth about Director Zhou's false accusation, at least we must find out who was in the task force. Point the finger at Director Zhou, so that everyone will not suspect each other."

Chu Xingmu and Chen Yuyao looked at Fang Yuhuai, the director of Shanghe Sub-bureau, at the same time, and the others looked at Li Yaomin's expression. Chu Xingmu had heard that Fang Yuhuai was a ruthless character, and he had just arrived at Shanghe Branch for less than a week. , uprooted Zhao Hailu's influence in the Shanghe branch office for nearly ten years, and everyone in the branch office was in danger.

However, due to the serious violation of discipline by the original two directors of the Shanghe Branch Bureau, the credibility of the branch office in Shanghe District has been greatly reduced.

Li Yaomin looked at Fang Yuhuai with a normal expression and said: "I was just about to talk about this. Zhao Hailu, who accused Director Zhou of covering up drug dealers and participating in drug trafficking activities, was executed last month. Zhao Hailu and Wang Yuemin, who continued to engage in drug trafficking activities, also died due to illness, and both of them participated in the investigation work of the special case team."

Chu Xingmu and Xia Ci were taken aback. Li Yaomin knew that Zhao Hailu and Wang Yuemin were both dead. It was normal for him to put this matter on the table. With a hunch, before he could ask a question, Li Yaomin told what happened five years ago.

The projector was turned on suddenly, Li Yaomin moved to the side, got out of the way of the screen and said, "I have an inescapable responsibility for Director Zhou's being framed and falsely accused."

When Li Yaomin said this, the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely shocked, especially Chu Xingmu. As for the others, although they didn't show anything on their faces, they also had their own thoughts.

Wu Huanshan looked at Mu Fang, then turned his gaze to Li Yaomin, and heard Li Yaomin say: "Director Zhou is the leader of the task force, and he set up the task force since the first murder occurred, but the investigation speed of the task force is far behind the murderer's crime. Speed, for this reason, after discussing with several sub-bureaus, Director Zhou decided to transfer some people from the sub-bureaus to assist the task force in solving the case, including Zhao Hailu and Wang Yuemin."

Li Yaomin looked at Wu Huanshan and said, "Ju Wu is still in charge of this matter."

Wu Huanshan, who was pointed, nodded slightly, and Li Yaomin continued: "Professor Mu was invited by Director Zhou to the task force to help solve the case. The clues he collected were all reported by Zhao Hailu and Wang Yuemin."

Mu Fang also nodded and said, "At that time, I was closer to them than the task force, so I submitted the clues I found to them first."

Speaking of which, everyone also understood what Li Yaomin meant, that Zhou Jinlin's being framed was related to Zhao Hailu and Wang Yuemin.

"Before Zhao Hailu kidnapped Chu Xingmu, he and Wang Yuemin were still doing their best to solve the serial murder case. Later, I learned that Director Zhou had already discovered that Zhao Hailu had contacts with some drug dealer gangs, and asked the anti-drug team to investigate in private. The team found out about Zhao Hailu, and Zhao Hailu excused himself from the sub-bureau to attend the meeting of the task force in the past few days, and none of us doubted his words."

Chen Yuyao went on to say: "We didn't know Zhao Hailu's betrayal until Xu Chi received the news that Zhao Hailu had kidnapped his relatives. When Xu Chi notified me, he had already arrived at the Yihe Building according to Zhao Hailu's request. At that time, Zhao Hailu also kidnapped Chu team leader."

Everyone turned their eyes to Chu Xingmu, but Chu Xingmu didn't speak but nodded in agreement.

"Zhao Hailu and Wang Yuemin colluded. In order to prevent Zhou Jinlin from revealing that the two of them covered up and participated in the activities of the Qingshi drug trafficking group, they used the first-hand information and clues obtained from Professor Mu about the murderer of the serial murder. The identity information of the sixth victim, but they did not report it in time and obscured some clues."

"While Zhao Hailu kidnapped them, Wang Yuemin found me and Director Wu. They forged the evidence in advance to frame Director Zhou for the serial murder case and the testimony of related witnesses. Director Wu and I were dubious. According to the murderer's rules, he was very It is possible to kill a sixth person, so we found the sixth crime scene under the intentional or unintentional guidance of Wang Yuemin based on the scope of the murderer’s crime location and the criminal psychology and behavioral characteristics of the murderer provided by Professor Mu.”

Mu Fang said: "The scene of the crime was in a fruit forest behind a residential building. When we arrived, Zhou Jinlin was squatting next to the victim with a short knife in his hand. It was around twelve o'clock in the evening, and the fruit forest was very dark. At first we thought we were watching Wrong person, I was not sure it was Zhou Jinlin until Zhou Jinlin stabbed Wang Yuemin with a dagger and fled."

"Now the facts of the case should be clear. Wang Yuemin and Zhao Hailu acted separately. Zhao Hailu used the serial murder case to kidnap the relatives of Chu Xingmu and Xu Chi to confuse the task force. Wang Yuemin used the sixth victim to lead the task force and Zhou Jinlin to the sixth victim at the same time. The scene of the murder."

Fang Yuhuai pondered for a few seconds and asked: "Could it be that Wang Yuemin is in charge of the work of the special case team? He can obediently go to the scene of the crime with a word from Director Zhou. It is a coincidence that you are sure that Director Zhou is the murderer. A wanted warrant was issued immediately that night."

Li Yaomin said: "People in Qingshi City, where the serial murder case is happening, are panic-stricken. Mayor Duan sends people to inspect the bureau every day, urging the city bureau to solve the case as soon as possible. He also fled the scene of the crime, so the task force cannot doubt it."

Fang Yuhuai asked persistently: "You are the one who ordered the arrest of Zhou Jinlin. If you doubt that Director Zhou is the murderer, why did you issue this order?"

Li Yaomin explained: "At that time, the evidence was solid. An extremist criminal who was responsible for six bloody cases could be killed if necessary. Moreover, the order to kill Director Zhou was issued by the mayor's office, and we followed orders."

"As a result, Director Zhou was not shot dead by the police, but was hacked by a mentally ill person who rushed out from the side of the road, and died after rescue efforts failed."

Fang Yuhuai looked at several people in the procuratorate and asked: "The truth of Zhao Hailu and Wang Yuemin's conspiracy to murder Director Zhou is clear, so Zhao Hailu blamed all the crimes on Director Zhou. Didn't the procuratorate verify it with the special case team and the sub-bureau? What is the basis for the procuratorate’s agreement to retry Zhao Hailu’s kidnapping case at the end of last year?”

Fang Yuhuai's aggressive attitude overwhelmed the procuratorate, so he could only say ambiguously: "The retrial of Zhao Hailu's kidnapping case was initiated by Wang Yuemin, and Zhao Hailufang also submitted new evidence. The retrial meets the procedural conditions."

Fang Yuhuai asked the last question: "Since you have been suspicious since five years ago, why were you so eager to try this case? Wang Yuemin and Zhao Hailu are already dead, and Director Li gave Director Zhou a few words lightly. The truth about the two of them being scapegoats has been clarified."

"Citizens need an explanation. At that time, all the evidence pointed to Zhou Jinlin. The Internet and the media angrily condemned Director Zhou, accusing him of being a criminal in Qingshi. The special case team decided to hold a trial after repeated verifications before convicting Director Zhou. I agree I know that in the past five years, the outside world has been rumoring that I have a disagreement with Director Zhou, saying that I have selfish intentions, and I am also investigating what happened back then in private, these are all admitted by Zhao Hailu and Wang Yuemin, and Yang Weiyuan can prove it."

Chu Xingmu's heart skipped a beat. Li Yaomin said that he had started investigating this case a long time ago. Before the retrial of Zhao Hailu's case, Chu Xingmu had a big fight with him because of this matter. Could it be that he had attended Yang Xiao's wedding? What did Yang Weiyuan say to him that day, Li Yaomin also called Yang Weiyuan when he went to see Zhao Hailu and Wang Yuemin?

If Yang Weiyuan and Li Yaomin worked together to find out the truth about Wang and Zhao's murder of Zhou Jinlin, why didn't Yang Weiyuan reveal a word to Chu Xingmu?

The atmosphere in the conference room took a turn for the worse. After Li Yaomin explained, everyone remained silent. The directors seemed to be considering Li Yaomin's explanation, so as to judge whether the truth about Zhou Jinlin's framing was true or not. As for Chu Xingmu and others, they could only look around each other. People, no one dares to speak easily, for fear that a single word will ignite a five-year backlog of explosive kegs.

There is no proof of death, this is the reason for their suspicion.

When everyone was silent, forensic doctor Qian, who was in charge of performing autopsies on the six victims in the serial murder case, said: "The dagger in Mr. Zhou's hand matches the wound on the victim's body. In addition to the cut, there are unknown needles on the body. In addition, each victim's right wrist was varus and fractured, and it is speculated that the murderer used his left hand to exert force. Coincidentally, Chief Zhou is also left-handed, so he was convinced that Chief Zhou was the murderer at that time."

"Only based on Director Zhou's appearance at the scene of the crime and his left-handedness, it can be concluded that he is a suspect. The arrest warrant was issued without listening to his explanation. The judgment of the task force was too arbitrary."

Others also followed suit, but Li Yaomin did not make any excuses, only saying: "I cannot shirk this responsibility, so Wu Huanshan is fully responsible for this serial murder case task force."

Li Yaomin's words have reached this point, and other people can no longer press his head to kowtow in front of Zhou Jinlin's tomb to apologize. During the meeting, Xia Ci and Chen Yuyao have been paying attention to Chu Xingmu's reaction. He has been obsessed with the truth for five years. Years, the result now is such a response.

"That's all I'll say, and the rest is up to Bureau Wu's arrangement." Li Yaomin stood up, bowed slightly with a dignified expression, and went out with Yu Qingyan.

After Li Yaomin left, Wu Huanshan sorted out and analyzed the first six serial murders and the most recent one, and arranged follow-up investigations.

The meeting was over before lunch. During this period, Chu Xingmu kept silent except to report the case. Xia Ci was worried that he would be hit hard like five years ago, so he asked him without worry when he left the meeting room: "I originally thought Director Li would tell us in private, but I didn't expect him to put this matter on the table. Now it's hard to hold him accountable."

Chu Xingmu shook his head unexpectedly and said: "Coincidence, too coincidental, we all know that this case is not so simple, Zhao Hailu and Wang Yuemin are dead, so we can only ask Uncle Yang what is going on, he was transferred from the front line to investigate The truth about Master being framed was because he didn’t agree with Li Ju, if they did agree later, why didn’t Uncle Yang tell us?”

"During the time you were injured, Uncle Yang came to the bureau twice. It should be for Master's case. Bureau Li originally intended to re-investigate the serial murder case. Sun Xiaoqi's case happened to coincide with this."

At the beginning, Li Yaomin let the Internet and the media speculate about Sun Xiaoqi's case, apparently accepting public supervision and urging the police to solve the case as soon as possible, but now he handed over all the work of the special case team to Wu Huanshan.

When they walked out of the gate, they suddenly saw Han Yang talking with Forensic Qian in the corridor. When Han Yang first arrived at the Municipal Bureau, he had been with Forensic Qian all the time. He was brought out by Forensic Qian. Later, Forensic Qian retired. Yang became the head of the forensic department.

Chu Xingmu wanted to ask him something, so he walked over with Xia Ci, and met Han Yang who was pulling the forensic doctor's beard, big or small, and forensic doctor Qian took off his old cloth shoes and wanted to beat Han Yang.

Seeing Chu Xingmu and Xia Ci beside them, Han Yang hurriedly hid behind the two of them with his head in his arms, but the old cloth shoe came out and hit Chu Xingmu's head impartially.

Chu Xingmu: "..."

Seeing that he hit the wrong person, Qian Forensic hurriedly walked up to the three of them, took the shoes from Han Yang's hand and put them on in twos and asked, "Xiao Chu, are you alright?"

Chu Xingmu shook his head, "It's okay."

If he hadn't known about the way Han Yang and Forensic Qian got along a few years ago, Chu Xingmu could lie on the ground and pretend to be dizzy, asking Han Yang to pay him for his medical expenses. It's just a joke, he still hasn't asked about business.

Han Yang turned to Elder Qian: "Master, Team Chu had an accident two days ago and bumped his head. You said you knocked him out with a cloth shoe, and I was the one who was unlucky!"

"Why are you pulling my beard so hard? If you don't pull my beard, I can beat you?"

"It's been a long time since I saw you. I was so excited that I ran up to find you after work."

Chu Xingmu asked: "You are looking for Master, and I will be beaten?"

"Then I won't bother you, come up to pick up my master and his old man for dinner."

After being hit by a cloth shoe, Chu Xingmu not only didn't get angry, but said without changing his face: "It's rare for Mr. Qian to come here. Let's eat in the unit cafeteria at noon. I invite you."
