Criminal Investigation Notes

When Lu Junchi and Su Hui returned home, it was already one o'clock in the morning. Both of them were sleepy, so they went into the room to rest soon.

Lu Jun woke up after sleeping for a while, and then couldn't fall asleep again.

When he got up, it was still dark outside the window, and he could see the stars in the sky outside when he opened the curtains.

Lu Junchi turned on his phone and looked at it. The time was five o'clock in the morning.

He decided not to sleep, got up and sat at the dining table and turned on the computer.

At this time, the city didn't seem to have woken up. It was quiet outside, and Su Hui's room was also completely silent.

In order not to wake up Su Hui, Lu Jun didn't turn on the light. He kept thinking about what happened last night in his mind, constantly going back to every detail.

Then he looked at the screen, opened the file, the file had been scanned, and dozens of electronic files had already been sent to his mailbox.

The light from the screen reflected his face, and Lu Junchi's expression was serious and serious.

He looked through those files one by one, and he has been studying these cases these days, almost completely memorizing the names and cases of the deceased.

Lu Junchi watched very intently, and then he suddenly felt that something was scratching his feet.

He lowered his head, and saw Aristotle woke up at some point, hooking his slippers with his fluffy paws, the kitten's small face was raised, and a pair of big eyes looked at him, as if wanting to be hugged hug.

Lu Junchi's heart moved, he stretched out his hand to hug it, hugged it in his arms, and stroked the cat's fur.

The kitten is fluffy, warm, and a bit heavy. After being together for so long, Aristotle finally accepted his existence, did not reject his touch, and even closed his eyes to enjoy it.

After a while, the kitten in his arms stretched out its tongue and licked his fingers, then rubbed against his palm, then fell down completely on his lap.

Lu Junchi looked at the document for a while, then lowered his head, and found that the cat had fallen asleep lying on his lap, and his stomach was still heaving.

At 07:30 in the morning, on a rare day today, Su Hui got up by himself without letting him call.

Su Hui walked into the living room and saw Lu Junchi turned on the computer, stunned for a moment: "You didn't sleep last night, did you?"

Lu Junchi said, "I still slept for a few hours."

Both of them were thinking about what happened last night. If they had something on their minds, they would not be able to sleep well.

The futility of the interrogation made them feel back at square one.

Lu Junchi handed the cat to Su Hui, got up and made a simple breakfast, bread, eggs and milk, the two of them sat facing each other, eating breakfast.

"Except for investigating the accidental death of Liu Mengying's mother." Su Hui asked Lu Junchi, "What are you going to do next?"

Lu Junchi said: "I looked at the files again and found that we were misled. The Municipal Bureau found that the number of accidental cases increased last year, so it began to ask the review team to search for cases from June last year to June this year, so we were also misled. It’s limited to that time frame. Assuming we’re really looking for some hidden killer, or a problem case, I don’t think it should be a one-year period.”

Just like the case of Liu Mengying's mother, it was not within this time frame.

Lu Junchi adjusted his thoughts and continued: "There are probably some suspicious serial cases hidden in these cases, so we should look in the past to find the origin of everything, which is the so-called first case, so that the criminal motive can be revealed. It is clearer. We should start now, because serial killers are evolving, and the behavior patterns of killers are more fixed, and the current cases will leave more clues..."

Serial killers will evolve, and cases will continue to escalate. With the escalation, the characteristics of the crime become more obvious.

This is what the poet taught him back then.

Lu Junchi was a fan of the authorities, so he didn't think of this for a while. Since the case was sent by the review team, their starting point was to get caught up in those details, and then followed the sleeper's forum information to check in.

This kind of behavior is like watching a leopard in a pipe.

The many small cases in front of them are like scattered jigsaw puzzles, each piece has its own characteristics, and there are many irrelevant cases mixed in, which will disturb their sight, and they will not know the whole picture until they find more pieces.

Having said that, Lu Junchi made up his mind and said, "In addition to those past cases, I also want to investigate the new cases that occurred in the past two months."

Su Hui took a sip of bread. He only recently figured out the process of accepting cases by the serious crime team at the Municipal Bureau. He said with some concern, "The idea is correct, but the general new cases have not yet reached the review team. The case is in the criminal police team and various sub-bureaus, are you planning to launch a joint investigation?"

In ordinary criminal investigations, due to the jurisdiction of various detachments and sub-bureaus, related cases cannot be merged in the first place. This phenomenon is called "chain blindness" by them.

However, launching a joint investigation rashly is also risky. If it is not certain that there must be a problem, then Lu Junchi's joint investigation will be difficult to end and cannot be explained.

Lu Junchi looked into Su Hui's eyes and asked, "Do you think these cases are problematic?"

Su Hui wanted to shake his head subconsciously.

Lu Junchi added, "I don't need evidence now, just use your intuition."

Then he raised his head and said with a serious expression, "It's my job to look for evidence. I won't listen to what you say, and I hope you won't erase your sharpness. I won't go to prove your theory. It’s useless, and I won’t let those things confuse me. But sometimes, your suggestions will save us a lot of time, allow us to get closer to the truth, and make correct judgments.”

The police officers want to speak with evidence, which is not wrong, but he thinks that Su Hui should not give up his intuition.

Su Hui stared blankly at Lu Junchi for a while, then lowered his head and remained silent for a moment: "I think so."

It was like an incomplete jigsaw puzzle was placed in front of them, a problem that wasn't even clearly described in the title.Although they haven't found the key to solve the problem yet, he can feel the strangeness in the case, and he believes that there must be their unknown connection in some of the cases.

Between those people, there is a hidden thread that they haven't found yet.

Lu Junchi looked firmly and said, "I also think so. In order to find out the truth, I will apply for a joint investigation."

Behind every case, there are truths covered up layer by layer, and it is their duty as policemen to find those truths.

Law, human life, that is more important than anything else.

An Yuci was holding a bouquet of pure white lilies in his hand. He was walking on the road, listening to the crying of the girl on the other side of the phone.

He comforted in a low and gentle way: "I know, nothing will happen. Well, since I let you out, nothing will happen. You have handled it very well. It's because I didn't see it earlier..."

"It also sounds like normal procedure."

"Don't worry too much, remind Qin Zhihua to be careful."

"Yes, I remember what day it is."

An Yuci comforted the other party for a long time before hanging up the phone.

The intersection happened to be a red light. While waiting for the red light, An Yuci recognized it. When he called just now, he had already walked to the door of No. [-] Middle School.

Although it's summer vacation, today is the back-to-school day for junior high school students.

A group of junior high school students came out of the school gate. There were men and women, all wearing school uniforms. An Yuci adjusted his glasses and saw a familiar figure among the crowd.

It was a tall, thin girl with short hair standing upright and her head bowed, walking silently alone.

A few boys laughed and came forward, tugged at her schoolbag strap, and some of them touched her skirt.

The girl turned her head and looked at them indifferently, but this made the boys laugh unscrupulously.

Seeing this, An Yuci ran a few steps forward and walked to the side of the girl.

The girl did not expect to meet him here, and raised her head in surprise: "Doctor An... what a coincidence..."

An Yu resigned: "I didn't ask a doctor today, it happened to be on vacation, and I passed by here occasionally." Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at the boys, and when he saw an adult coming, those children ran away bullying up.

In fact, he didn't just pass by here occasionally.

During the last consultation, Fang Jiayue mentioned to him that today is the back-to-school day, and he also told the approximate meeting time. He always remembered that she said that some students often troubled her on the way home from school, so he came to have a look. Unexpectedly, they met like this and helped her out.

"Thank you." Fang Jiayue was very grateful to An Yuci for helping her drive away those naughty male students just now.

Then she looked at the flowers in An Yuci's hand, it was a bouquet of white lilies, "Doctor An, are you going on a date?"

An Yuci shook his head and said, "No, today is a friend's birthday of mine."

Fang Jiayue's face was full of envy: "Then she must be very happy to have you send her flowers."

An Yuci smiled and did not explain further.

Fang Jiayue asked him again: "Doctor An, is your little bird okay?"

An Yu resigned: "It's come back to life, although it can only hop around, but it's much more lively. I bought it a small cage and fed it. I think it might be able to fly after a while Already." He turned his head and asked the girl, "How is your family doing?"

"Fortunately..." Fang Jiayue said with her head down.

An Yuci heard a little helplessness from Fang Jiayue's words.

Indeed, it can only be said that it's okay. As time went by, Fang Jiayue found that her mother seemed to have forgotten that she was a patient, and that her stepfather's plot was wrong.

But that was her own mother, and she had to change to another one if she was not dissatisfied...

Not long after, Fang Jiayue's home arrived, and she said, "Thank you, Dr. An."

An Yuci waved at her and continued walking forward.

He waited for a car at a bus stop not far away, sat in the back seat, and drove the car all the way to the gate of a cemetery.

An Yuci walked into the cemetery, climbed up a few steps, and turned to face a tombstone. On the tombstone was a black and white photo of a girl smiling. He put the bouquet of pure white lilies in front of the tombstone. Softly said: "Happy birthday."

The cemetery near dusk was very quiet, and the setting sun cast long shadows under his feet.

An Yuci stood for a while before getting up and leaving. He came to the platform and waited for the return train.

The car has not come for a long time.An Yuci sat on the platform, and the people waiting for the bus changed from batch to batch.

He raised his head and suddenly saw a man who looked familiar.

An Yuci still remembered that it was one of his patients who had seen a doctor at his place two years ago. He had provided him with a lot of help, and they used to talk about everything.

But later, men came less and less. An Yuci was worried about him for a while, but now seeing his heart move, he accurately called out the man's name: "Zhuang Shiqing?"

The man froze for a moment, then turned to look at him: "Ah... Doctor An..."

An Yuci asked him, "How are you recently?"

The man didn't seem to expect to see his psychiatrist on the road, or a former psychiatrist, cold sweat appeared on his forehead, "Fortunately..."

"You haven't been to my place for a long time..." An Yuci still wanted to say a few words.

But the man turned around and got into an approaching car: "That Dr. An, I'm in a hurry, I'll talk to you when I have time."

The whole process was so fast that An Yuci didn't have time to react, the man seemed to be avoiding something, and ran away...

An Yuci stood on the platform for a while, instead of taking the bus, he turned around and walked into the crowd.

There are so many people in the city, going back and forth, everyone has their own destination, but he suddenly seems to be unable to find where he is going.
