Not in reincarnation

In the morning, the first detective came out of the lounge and entered the office, where he saw Zheng Jiang still looking at the victim's information.

The murderer sent letters when committing the first and second crimes. Instead of using letters, he used the victim's mobile phone to send text messages with location information to the helpline. In short, he would try to expose the place where the body was dumped. .The murderer issued a criminal statement. He wanted to enjoy the joy of getting attention. He didn't want what he did to be unknown, and he wanted to be as open as possible.This kind of person has an emotion of "worried about being forgotten by society", which is also in line with his abandonment plot. He is abandoned by others, and he is also worried about being abandoned by everyone and society, so he has to stand up and show his sense of existence.

This kind of person is a loser. He can only enjoy the attention of the public by killing people and exposing his crimes. Behind the scenes, he is a person who is worried that he will be forgotten. He is a small ant in life and extremely unconfident. .And crime can give him self-confidence.Distorted desire for self-expression, restless heart, this is the main culprit.

The victims were basically taken away in the gaybar, and then never returned. Zheng Jiang wondered why some of those people already had a partner, but still left with the murderer?He thought about it, and felt sad for this circle for the first time, because of the particularity of the circle, some people are restless even if they have a partner, and those who don't have a partner will want to find a partner.As expected, the murderers were all "fellow men", so they knew about these things.

"Didn't you sleep all night?" Team leader Gordon brought him a cup of coffee, Zheng Jiang thanked him politely and began to drink.

"During my sleeping time, I can still use it to think about things. My husband is not as safe as I am lucky to be here. I don't know what happened to him now." Zheng Jiang's eyes were red, and I don't know if it's because he stayed up late or he cried.

Team leader Gordon hesitated to speak, and other detectives, police detectives, and county police all arrived at the office and started working.

"There is no missing report yet." The female detective hung up the 911 operator, "There is no location information."

"That means Lynn is still safe now." Captain Gordon said, "The trouble is that we haven't made any progress now, and the murderer seems to have a personal vendetta with Lynn."

Zheng Jiang shrugged: "I don't know his past very well. For me, living in the present is the most important thing."

"Is it possible that it's your personal grievance, and the murderer blamed him?" Team leader Gordon asked.

Zheng Jiang froze for a moment, and said, "Mr. Gordon, I only immigrated here this year. My social circle is narrower than Lynn's."

Team Leader Gordon gave him a suspicious look, and then went to the case record investigator: "Have you found anything?"

The investigator of the case tapped on the keyboard and showed his findings: "Sir, I have investigated more than 5000 domestic violence incidents in the California area in the past three years, and there are more than 4000 families with underage children. There are probably more than 2000 of them, and those under them are fathers or mothers who have been abused."

"More than 2000 are simply looking for a needle in a haystack." Everyone discussed.

"I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed. After the children were abused, many children dropped out of school, ran away from home, or were adopted by orphanages and foster families. After my screening, there were only [-] names." The investigator said.

Group leader Gordon thought for a while and said, "The description yesterday can be narrowed down. Did you filter out the grown-up children?"

"After filtering out the three-year list, there are still more than 100 adult children left. I really can't imagine that anyone would do such a thing to a child." The investigator sighed.

"Are these kids reading?" Gordon asked.

The investigator started typing on the keyboard again, and said, "This is what I'm going to search for now, filter out the 'work unit' option, and there are seventy people left."

"The accomplice has no bad record. This is the first time he has killed someone. Before that, he had always played the image of a good student." Zheng Jiang felt hopeful.

"What's wrong with the current college students? There are so many bad records, but it also helps our screening." The investigator muttered, "There are still ten left."

Team leader Gordon lowered the curtain and turned on the projector: "Give them their photos."

Ten photographs are projected on the screen.

Group leader Gordon pointed to the photo above: "Remove the women."

There are seven left.

"Excellent grades." Zheng Jiang added.

"If I can use these systems to find my child's report card, I won't be afraid that they will falsify their grades." The investigator muttered, "I can't do it. I can only ask everyone to go to each school to ask for information. That's it, so we can filter it."

Team leader Gordon glanced at the female detective, who nodded and asked several detectives to find the phone numbers of the seven school contacts.

After half an hour of telephone contact with division of labor and cooperation, four more people were filtered out. "It's unbelievable, thousands of people have shrunk to three people." Detective George stared at the only three photos left on the screen, dumbfounded.

"The previous screening has filtered out quite a lot of people." Group leader Gordon touched his chin, "Is there anyone here who is gay out of the closet?"

The detectives in charge of the school contact who contacted the trio all shook their heads.

"Will Simpson, with excellent grades, did not find anything special. His teacher said that he is very popular and popular." The detective said, "It does not meet the previous profile. The accomplice is an introverted person."

Zheng Jiang stared fixedly at Will Simpson's photo, and said, "You can still be so optimistic after being abused by your family. It seems that he will spend more time in school, and he can be excluded."

Will Simpson's photo disappears from view.

The second Detective reported: "Sky Frank, I think he is the man we are looking for. He has excellent grades, but he is very low-key. The teacher said he is always alone. If the paper assignments require students to cooperate, He will complete the 'big project' alone."

Zheng Jiang suddenly asked: "Is he a day student or a boarding student?"

The police detective was stunned for a moment: "Residence students..."

"No, the accomplice is not out of the family's control." Just as Zheng Jiang finished speaking, he saw Detective Ivan's face change, "Detective Ivan, what's wrong with you?"

"Day student, excellent grades, no friends..." He raised his arm, pointing his index finger at the photo on the screen, "Paul Harvey, he fits the profile, and his teacher told me that this high-achieving student In frequent skipping classes, she has already received many complaints from lecturers."

A high-achieving student would not have such a sudden change. "Check Paul Harvey's family information." Captain Gordon ordered the investigators, "There must be some reason why he decided to kill someone."

"Yes!" The investigator quickly called up the information of Harvey's family. The light from the screen was reflected on the lenses of his glasses. "There was domestic violence in his family. Both his mother and he were affected by his father's violence. His mother didn't have a job, so Unable to afford his living expenses, she never brought up a divorce—this was the reward of the home visits. My mother had high expectations for Paul, and hoped that he would succeed and take her out of trouble.”

Zheng Jiang said coldly: "High expectations for children will cause excessive pressure on children. Once a child breaks down, he will embark on an irreversible path."

“The religion of their family cannot tolerate homosexuality,” the investigator said, “and there were even records of people attacking homosexuals in that parish, and there were anti-gay parades.”

Zheng Jiang secretly clenched his fists: "In this environment, Paul found out that he is gay. He must not tell his parents, otherwise they will beat their own son to death, and Paul will let his mother down."

The detective wearing glasses went on to say: "He wanted a mentor to help him get rid of this distress, so the principal culprit targeted him. Because the active side in charge of Paul showed the characteristics of randomness, which showed that he was still in the process of making choices about himself. Hesitating and not throwing away the plot."

"But taking such a big risk of exposing his whereabouts to kidnap Lynn should be the decision of the principal criminal." The female detective said anxiously, "The principal criminal's desire to control is getting stronger and stronger. He is targeting Lynn. Party's choice does not match."

Team leader Gordon pondered for a moment and said, "What information can support our determination that Paul is one of the suspects?"

Detective Ivan called the teacher again and said, "Paul skipped class on the same date as the victims disappeared, and Paul didn't go to class today."

"Let's go to Paul's house first. Even if there is no arrest warrant, we can detain him for a while." Team leader Gordon patted the table, "If the main criminal's goal is Lynn, after getting him, the status of the accessory will change. Very dangerous!"

The office was boiling, and the detectives and detectives were dispatched one after another. Zheng Jiang stared at the address of Paul's home on the computer screen and fell into deep thought.

The kidnapping last night was different from their previous behavior patterns. The accomplices would be dissatisfied with the main culprit because the main culprit brought the "wrong" person, and with the clever mind of the accomplices, they would soon realize that they were being used.It would be fine if Paul swallowed his anger as usual, but after killing so many people, it is inevitable that his emotions will become restless and violent, and he may rebel against the main culprit.

Paul is definitely not at home, he should stay with the principal criminal at this time.

Zheng Jiang looked up at the only photo of Paul left on the screen. The blond young man's eyes were indifferent, even a little wandering. He didn't even have enough confidence to look directly at the camera.

Rough education methods will make children feel hostile to others and society, and make them extreme, stubborn and inferior. Without the warmth of family, they are more likely to look for "warmth" in other places, and are more likely to be attracted by people with evil thoughts. people take advantage of.Moreover, after Paul found out that he was gay, he would feel humiliated in the environment of "discrimination and anti-homosexuality". Will also live in fear.

Zheng Jiang touched the investigator's shoulder: "Can you tell me the recent situation of Harvey's family? There must be some opportunity for him to commit the crime."

The investigator looked blank: "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Zheng Jiang thought for a while, since Paul Harvey's father had committed violence against both mother and child, then the mother should be the one protecting him, so he asked, "How is Paul's mother doing recently?"

The investigator looked back at the computer, typed a string of letters, looked at the text above, and his face became very bad: "My God, Paul's mother was admitted to the hospital a month ago with multiple fractures."

"Did her husband hit her?" Zheng Jiang asked.

"She claimed that she fell from upstairs." The investigator thumped the table angrily, "Who would believe it!"

"I lost my mother's protection. That's why Paul started killing. My father put all the violence on him." After Zheng Jiang finished speaking, he thought that although Paul's mother had high expectations for Paul, she protected him, so Paul's affection for her is very deep, and Paul is bound to visit his mother often.

"Sir, can I trouble you to find the abandoned building near the hospital where Paul's mother is?" Zheng Jiang asked, "Paul will go back to see his mother after solving the matter. Although crimes are committed in five areas, this area is the most frequent." , indicating that she is here in the hospital."

"Strong Hospital in District B-1." The investigator said, "There is an abandoned factory around one kilometer away from the hospital, on 1st Street in District B-21."

Zheng Jiang knew that place.

The investigator turned around and asked him, "Are you going by yourself? Shall I mobilize some... people?"

Zheng Jiang ran out of the police station and immediately called a taxi, and the driver took him there immediately after giving the name of the place.

Zheng Jiang felt uneasy in his heart, he didn't know how Gao Zhenglin was doing now, he just hoped that everything was fine for him.

It's damp and dark here.

A [-]-watt light bulb barely provided the light, and the orange light illuminated a man who was bound behind his back to the stool, and his clothes were ripped open because of the open front of his clothes.

"Why did you take him away? It's okay, this type is my prey." There was a quarrel in the distance, waking him up from his sleep.

When Gao Zhenglin opened his eyes, those eyes were like a falcon, with an aura of indifference and indifference.At that moment, he seemed to be the Yao Mu who refused people thousands of miles away thousands of years ago, not the Gao Zhenglin who always smiled gently at Zheng Jiang.

"What's the matter? It's good to change the taste once in a while. You can find another one. It's not good to be under the pressure all the time, right?" Another voice said.

Stubborn.

Gao Zhenglin closed his eyes, he won't agree.

"That's not what I want."

Following the voice, a young man with slender blonde hair appeared in front of him. The young man looked at Gao Zhenglin and shook his head: "Although I'm not picky about food, I really don't like him."

"I thought my charm was good." Gao Zhenglin said lightly.

A man stepped out of the darkness. He had yellow skin and black hair, and his lips were tightly pressed to show his impatience.Gao Zhenglin said in Chinese: "Do I know you?"

The man also asked him in Chinese: "Do you think I know you?"

Paul Harvey stood quietly aside. He couldn't understand Chinese, and his self-esteem as a "good student" made him very annoyed when he came into contact with things he didn't know at all.His "good teacher and helpful friend" is destroying the trust between them, and he has something to hide from himself.

Gao Zhenglin looked into his black eyes and suddenly smiled: "I'm sure I don't know you."

The smile offended the man, who walked over quickly and punched him in the face.Seeing that Gao Zhenglin was hit on the side of the head by him, he laughed happily: "You look like an abandoned, homeless dog."

"If you think I look like you, then you see yourself in me." Gao Zhenglin sneered, "I'm sorry, but when you are caught in prison and eating in prison, I am enjoying my wife's care and love at home. And you don't even have a prison visitor."

The man squinted his eyes, saw the wedding ring in his hand, and his face changed: "That bastard got me into this field, and there is another person who gave him heart and soul? Are you still married?"

Gao Zhenglin frowned, he was full of doubts, who is this person targeting?Zheng Jiang?He didn't ask about Zheng Jiang's private life before, and he probably knew from this person that Zheng Jiang had hurt him very badly, and the two of them should have had no contact for a long time.As long as there is no relationship, Gao Zhenglin heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled wryly again, the little one doesn't know how many lovers have come to the door, shutting himself up here, it's so miserable.

The man sat on the ground decadently, and said softly: "Anyway, you are going to die, I don't mind telling you the matter, so that you can see clearly what kind of person is your beloved 'wife'?"

"What are you talking about? Is there anything I can't let me know?" Paul suddenly shouted. He felt that the trust between the two people was torn apart. That person was always saying things he couldn't understand. What was there to hide from him?

The man turned his head and said viciously, "SHUT? UP? PAUL! DON'T? YELL? TO? ME! (Don't yell at me)"

Paul hesitated to speak, but finally remained silent. He was used to following orders.

"I hugged that 'wife' of yours too, and the feeling is really unforgettable." He said.

Gao Zhenglin gritted his teeth and stared at him.

He smiled: "Everyone who fucked him should like his body very much. He approached me, got my company's bill for buying cheap materials, reported me to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, bankrupted my company, and killed me. Had to marry into a rich woman's family."

Gao Zhenglin said flatly: "You deserve it, harming others and benefiting yourself is ultimately harming others and yourself."

He nodded in agreement: "Yes, in the end I married that woman and got her pregnant. I didn't know that he betrayed me. After all, he was dead. He committed suicide by jumping off a building in front of me, falling to pieces... ...But I received a courier after that woman became pregnant, and it was full of photos of me and him in bed."

Gao Zhenglin knew that the former Zheng Jiang did have the ability to bring the dead back to life, but when it came to his suicide, he still felt nervous.

"I was kicked out by that woman. Fortunately, she gave birth to a son and gave me a severance package, telling me to go as far as I could, and I came to the United States." The man rubbed his forehead with his hands, "Before I left, she found someone to abolish me..."

He glared at Gao Zhenglin: "Do you think I shouldn't hate him? I've seen so many homosexuals here. Compared with domestic people, we have to hide them. Here they can be exposed to the sun openly. You say if He didn't meet you, or didn't have those things happen, does he belong to me forever?"

Gao Zhenglin looked at him quietly.

"Even now, I don't know what his name is. He must be using a fake name... But isn't he dead? The person I saw is him, right? The face is so similar, and every move is so similar." He is pulling at his hair.

Gao Zhenglin said softly: "It wasn't him, you saw him die with your own eyes. How can a dead person be resurrected?"

"He called my name, in the night, on a windy night, over and over again, in my ears." He laughed maniacally, "I said I love him, and he jumped off. "

"Ningde..."

He turned around and saw the man he couldn't forget.

Zheng Jiang stood at the door in astonishment, looking at them, when he saw Gao Zhenglin's appearance, he immediately became crazy: "What did you do to him?"

"He's not dead." Ning De turned around excitedly and said to Gao Zhenglin, "It's him, he can call me by my name!"

Ning De ran over and grabbed Zheng Jiang's arms, his eyes were red: "Do you know how happy I was when I knew you were not dead?"

Zheng Jiang broke free from his hands and said indifferently: "Sorry, I have nothing to do with you anymore."

"It's you who caused me to be like this, and you still want to stay out of it?" Ning De said angrily.

At this time, Zheng Jiang suddenly understood that those dead black-haired men were all based on him, projecting Ning De's strong feelings.

At the time of the stalemate, sirens blared, and the abandoned factory was surrounded.

"FBI, people inside, listen, you are surrounded, the only way out is to lay down your weapons, release the hostages, everything is still negotiable." Team leader Gordon shouted through a loudspeaker.

Gao Zhenglin looked at them mockingly: "Do you want to fight to the death now?"

Paul bit his nails anxiously: "I didn't expect to be discovered, I didn't want to be caught, my mother is still waiting for me in the hospital..."

"You have already boarded this thief ship, why do you want to pretend to be innocent?" Ning De cursed loudly, and took out a gun from his arms, "You also have a part in killing people, and no one can escape."

Zheng Jiang's expression changed when he saw the gun in his hand. It was Gao Zhenglin's gun.

"You have nowhere to go." Team leader Gordon said again, it was very quiet inside, if he hadn't seen someone moving, he would have doubted whether there was anyone inside.

There was still silence inside, they were still at a stalemate, Paul no longer wanted to follow Ningde, Ningde had too many things to hide from him, and the relationship between them had broken down.

Zheng Jiang planned to start with Paul, so he raised his hands to show his innocence, and said, "Paul, listen to me, homosexuality is nothing shameful."

Paul looked up at him sharply.

"I know your family situation is very special, but it's beyond your control. It's your nature. You can't blame others, let alone yourself." Zheng Jiang said slowly, "Although you have encountered a lot, you can get rid of it. In the past, you could choose to forget and live a more relaxed life, instead of restricting yourself and doing things you don't like."

Ning De realized that Zheng Jiang was brainwashing Paul, and immediately said: "Shut up!"

Zheng Jiang glanced at him and continued: "Paul, your mother loves you very much. Even if her ideas are deeply rooted, she will choose you. She endured your father's violence for you, just to let you live a good life." Go on and become her hope. I know she has high expectations for you, and you are also very distressed, but you are mother and son, what can't you sit down and talk about?"

Paul's eyeballs were quivering.

Ning De took a deep breath: "I don't want to hurt you, please shut up."

"He's using you, can't you see it?" Zheng Jiang changed the subject, "He's been using you to satisfy his despicable delusion, he let you fall into it innocently, and even when you are about to die Drag you into the water."

Ning De shot a gun in the head: "I tell you to shut up!"

Ning De's reaction just confirmed Zheng Jiang's words, and Paul closed his eyes.

"Paul, I have taught you so much, I have helped you so much, don't doubt me because of what an outsider said, I am the only one who treats you well, and I am the only one who understands you." Ningde said anxiously.

Gao Zhenglin looked at Zheng Jiang, and Zheng Jiang also looked at him.

Ning De was anxiously explaining something to Paul, when Zheng Jiang suddenly saw a few small red dots appear on his temple, and Gao Zhenglin also saw it.

The position of the sniper is very good, and Ning De is a bit far from the position of the hostage.

Ningde didn't notice the red spot on his head, but Paul saw it when he opened his eyes again, and when he was about to tell Ningde in horror, Ningde was shot in the head.

Paul knelt and sat on the ground as if he had lost all his strength. He had no one to control him, he was like a lifeless puppet, and he didn't know what to do.

The police swarmed in.

The ambulance was waiting outside, and Zheng Jiang followed Gao Zhenglin into the ambulance.

"You look pretty good." Zheng Jiang touched Gao Zhenglin's face pityingly, "The red from the beating is black."

Gao Zhenglin was amused by him, and he restrained his smile after a while, his eyes were full of distress: "But your face is very haggard, did you sleep?"

"I dare not sleep." Zheng Jiang hugged his head, "I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, I won't be able to see you when I wake up."

Gao Zhenglin took a deep breath, smelled the familiar and reassuring scent on his body, and said, "Now that you see that I am fine, you can sleep."

Zheng Jiang let out a muffled "Hmm", Gao Zhenglin pressed the back of his head, and kissed his lips fiercely, their tongues were entangled like glue, this feeling of lost and found made them crazy.

There is nothing more important than being together.
