Dark fragrance [criminal investigation]

Special Cases Team.

"Brother Lu!"

Yu Yunlu closed the door of the interrogation room, and saw Li Qing running over, his tense face couldn't help but relax a bit.

"Brother Lu, is that Charles still refusing to say anything?" Li Qingxiu's face was full of sullenness and irritability, "Someone from country B is coming soon, and we still have no evidence to prove that he is the serial murderer. The murderer, when he goes back, there will be no way to track him down!"

Yu Yunlu sighed and flipped through the booklet in his hand.The identity of this Charles is extremely troublesome. He is an orthopedic expert from country B who came here for academic exchanges. It just so happened that a military general with outstanding merit had been shot through his kneecap by a bullet, and he was about to ask Charles to operate on him.

The special case team has been investigating the serial murder case for more than a month, and finally caught a suspect holding a scalpel at the scene of the crime. Even if the military and country B are putting pressure on him, they are unwilling to let him go easily.

"According to the initial information from country B, Charles has long been treated coldly by his parents, especially his mother, because they are busy with work and don't care about their children even on rest days. He hardly sees them several times a year. , probably this is why he is so resentful towards professional women who come back late at night." Yu Yunlu didn't know how to comfort Li Qing, who had been pressured by the people above him not to be promoted. As a psychologist, he clearly understood Seeing the paranoia and limitations in the young policeman's heart, he can heal those who want to be saved, but he can't appease the stubbornness of those who are determined to go their own way.

"Brother Lu, then you can hypnotize him—"

Yu Yunlu covered his mouth, and a layer of cold sweat broke out behind him, "Do you know that someone heard this, so you and I should not follow up on this case!"

"Should we let him get away with it? He appeared at the scene of the crime, saying he was passing by, with blood on his hands, saying that he was saving the victim, and there was no fingerprint on the scalpel, but the surveillance at the small intersection clearly showed that only he and the victim entered However, he insisted that someone at the scene of the crime was scared away by him..." Li Qing clenched his fist tightly, and punched heavily on the one-way glass, causing Charles, who was sitting upright inside, to show a frighteningly gentle expression. Smiling, "This kind of person is a murderer at first glance. When he is extradited back to country B, the blind jury will definitely sympathize with his childhood and let him be acquitted. Damn it!"

Yu Yunlu has no way to refute this statement, and there are many scruples in the investigation of foreign-related cases, especially when the suspect has a good reputation.

The previous case happened in the middle of the night, and it is understandable that he could not provide an alibi, which made it impossible for the police to start.What's more, he can clearly see that this Charles is a typical antisocial personality who lacks empathy, and his words have deep malice towards workaholic women.

It's a pity that these are all speculations. He can't even give Charles the psychological scale. Before the lawyer from country B arrives, the group can only conduct the simplest questioning, and the staff of the embassy must accompany him all the way. It can be said that It is difficult to move an inch.

"Yes, evidence, as long as there is evidence..."

Li Qing muttered beside him, and Yu Yunlu's professional alarm bell rang, and he almost subconsciously pushed him back.

"What are you muttering about!"

"Nothing. Just pray for evidence to appear."

The dangerous aura just now disappeared, and the other party seemed to be the good police officer who hated evil and hated evil. He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and suppressed his suspicion, "There are two days before someone from country B will come, I hurry up and come back." Go look at the case records and look for new clues."

"Brother Lu, you are with you." Li Qing chased after him and helped him pin the case record on the blackboard.

Yu Yunlu folded his arms, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned.Coincidentally, at this time, a new message was sent from country B. He clicked on it, picked up the computer and rushed to the blackboard, "First, Monday...Second, Friday...Third, Tuesday... Four, four... there it is!"

He grabbed Li Qing and pressed him in front of the only special case, "Look! There are clues!"

Li Qing looked at the mail in a daze, and then at the stack of cases, not knowing why.

"Roll schedule! This is the schedule of the unit where Charles' mother works!" Yu Yunlu was so excited that he raised a blackboard eraser and slammed the piece of paper, "Charles' mother has a special meaning to him, so He killed people according to the rest days of his mother in the past, but this one is very special, it is not in the schedule, it should be his temporary intention, and temporary intention means that there may be omissions, Li Qing, notify Rongrong and adjust the monitoring."

"..."

Seeing no reply for a long time, Yu Yunlu, who was immersed in excitement, turned around and suddenly felt that this policeman who had been with him for two years was a little strange, but Li Qing's expression was half hidden in the shadows, which made him unable to judge.

"what happened?"

"It's okay... just thinking, Brother Lu is so powerful, if you give it to me, it may take a long time to find out."

There was admiration in Li Qing's tone, but his stiff body could not deceive him.Yu Yunlu thought that he had hurt his self-confidence, so he casually comforted him a few words, and once again asked him to find Rongrong from the technical department to monitor him.

But the results of the monitoring were not satisfactory.

Charles and the victim only had an intersection at one intersection, but the time was much earlier than the time of the victim's death.However, he seemed to be attracted by the victim waiting for the red light. After the call ended, Charles' expression became a little weird.Rongrong from the Technical Investigation Division laboriously picked out the content of the phone call. After checking with the victim's family, he confirmed that the general content was that the mother needed to go to the hospital to work overtime on the rest day, so she didn't go back, and even criticized The child failed the exam last time, so I told him to do his homework well at home.

Rong Rong chased Charles' figure and found that he had indeed returned home, and he was no longer seen in and out at night.

The clue that was finally found was broken again, and Yu Yunlu was so anxious that several blisters formed on his mouth.

Seeing that time is getting tighter and tighter, I didn't expect it to turn around.

Li Qing discovered the key evidence that the blood of the victim remained in the crack of one of Charles' rings.

"You have made a great contribution!" Yu Yunlu was a little excited, so he skipped the stiff smile on the other party's face.

The ring was a gift from his mother when Charles came of age, and it is now used as evidence against him.

The decent doctor yelled like crazy in the interrogation room, and at the end he was out of breath, staring at Yu Yunlu with a gloomy face, and said grimly: "Those women only know work, work, work! They blame the children for doing If they are not good enough, have they given a little love? They deserve to die!"

He finished the story of the crime excitedly and angrily, then stared fiercely at the ring again, as if he was blaming his mother for still hurting him.Yu Yunlu recorded silently, with a complicated heart. He has taken over the special case team for a long time. Many of these vicious murderers have a sad past. Someone pulled the wrong track to their feet and let them Run wildly on it, and finally jump into the abyss.

In the end, Yu Yunlu still didn't tell Charles that the bad news just came from country B. His mother died of illness yesterday.Most of the mothers who committed suicide had happy families, and their husbands and children were devastated when they heard the bad news.In the end, Charles not only failed to save himself, but also dragged more people into the abyss of despair.

Outside the interrogation room, Li Qing looked quite happy. Yu Yunlu patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement. At this time, Rong Rong also came over, feeling a little regretful and happy. She checked the surveillance for several days without sleep, and finally It was found that a man in black with a similar figure to Charles often appeared outside Charles' residence, which matched the image in the surveillance around the crime scene. Through the comparison of height and pace, it can be basically confirmed that the man in black is Charles.

"However, Brother Li has found a more crucial clue, so I'll add the icing on the cake." The naive girl rubbed her eyes with dark circles, and stuck out her tongue playfully.

Yu Yunlu, who was originally smiling, suddenly stopped laughing, because he sensed the danger again, but Li Qing beside him was still the same, he narrowed his eyes, and tentatively said: "I think you have Very tired, do you want to come to me for a psychological treatment?"

"Ah? No need." Li Qing trembled all over, and quickly refused, "I'm fine, just go back to sleep, brother Lu, you are really tired, how dare I trouble you again."

Not right.

Nothing is right.

The strange breath filled Li Qing's body, the excessive frequency of swallowing saliva, the defensive avoidance, and the micro-expression that was always ready to escape, all showed that he was hiding a big secret.

Yu Yunlu couldn't figure out why, and he couldn't ask questions like interrogating a prisoner, so he had to tell Li Qing to come to him if he had something to do.

A wave of ups and downs rose again, and before he figured out where those abnormalities came from, another murder case occurred.

Rongrong is dead.

Li Qing went home with her on the same way, and found that he forgot to take something on the way, so he asked her to wait in the alley, but he didn't expect to see Rong Rong who had long been silent when he came back.

This is what Li Qing said.Yu Yunlu couldn't tell if he was lying, whether it was fear or nervousness, it was not too much in such a scene, not to mention that Li Qing was vomited in the side, with tears and snot in his nose, which made him unable to bear to continue to press.

According to the preliminary examination, Rongrong died of poisoning. The drug came from the police station's laboratory. Only her fingerprints were on the needle tube, and her signature for taking the drug out of the police station was also left in the record.Since she didn't have any defensive injuries on her body, it was obvious that she had just taken out the injection after encountering danger, and the murderer broke it and injected it directly into her own body.Li Qing and Rongrong have no grievances or enmities, and they usually have a good relationship at the police station, and his DNA was not detected on the body, and according to the guard, Li Qing's expression was very natural when he returned, so he was released soon. pass.What's more, the surveillance at the other end of the alley showed that there was a timid person running away all the way, so the direction of investigation quickly turned to this person.

Yu Yunlu felt that nothing was right, because of the principle of avoiding suspicion, he was not able to participate in the interrogation, and only heard from his colleagues that Li Qing's expression was very real, and a little tension was within the allowable range.

He almost gave up, ready to admit that maybe he was overthinking and slandered a good policeman out of thin air.

But at this time, a mysterious killer suddenly appeared in the city, specially killing people who escaped the punishment of the law. The blood of the victims was densely written around the scene of the crime to write down their crimes. supported by some.

Yu Yunlu also found a clue at this time.

Before each case, Li Qing would go to the archives room, saying that he was consulting relevant materials on the case being solved.But the timing was too coincidental, so he couldn't help but give up his previous guess. He followed in and found that all the files that had been moved were those of the victims.

After all, he was not good at stalking. Because he was too shocked, he directly knocked down a row of documents, which surprised Li Qing who was checking the files.

"Brother Lu, what do you know?"

A chilling feeling climbed up his spine, Yu Yunlu could hardly speak, he couldn't even make a fake smile, but because of this, the secretion of adrenaline made his thinking more active than ever.

The evidence ring, his profile of Li Qing, Rong Rong and Li Qing's occasional disagreement, Rong Rong's death, all threaded into a thread, Yu Yunlu pinched the file rack tightly, and asked: "Did you forge that ring?"

Li Qing tilted his head extremely slowly, and grinned like a clown, "Brother Lu, it's you."

His guess was confirmed, and he took a deep breath. Charles' case has already been tried in country B, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment. If this incident happens now, it can be said to be a devastating blow to the judiciary. Rao is as smart as him I don't know how to solve it.

"You also think I did something wrong?" Li Qing asked again, "If I don't do this, that scumbag has no way to convict him, just like the people I killed now deserve death. I am a hero!"

"Also?" Yu Yunlu grasped the key point, suffocated, his throat was so dry, "Rongrong...you killed Rongrong?"

Hearing this, Li Qing's expression suddenly changed, and pain filled the air. He squatted down with his eyes emptied and hugged himself tightly, shaking his head desperately, "Rong Rong knows about me, talk to me, let me surrender, I will not I know... I didn't kill it... There is someone out of nowhere... Yes, that person... That organization... forced me, forced me! I didn't mean it!"

The amount of information in these words is a bit large, Yu Yunlu was still in a daze, but Li Qing rushed over and grabbed his arm, that face that looks extremely strange now was full of pleading, "Brother Lu, help me...they don't know How did I know about my falsification of evidence? Threatening me to keep killing people will not report me... Lu brother, you see, I kill people who should die... Lu brother, please help me, I don’t want to Go to jail!"

His arm hurt from being pinched, but he didn't have time to take care of it, he just thought it was ridiculous.He opened his mouth and didn't know where to start, so he could only squat down with him in silence until the alarm bell for getting off work rang, and he said dryly: "Li Qing, you are a policeman, turn yourself in... I will help you of."

Li Qing's sobs stopped suddenly, and he returned to his gloomy appearance again. His overly long bangs covered his eyes, making it difficult to see his expression clearly. He sighed softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Brother Lu, Let me think about it tonight, okay?"

"...Okay." Yu Yunlu decided to give him another chance, and softly took out a tissue and handed it over, "Tomorrow I will go with you to find the director."

It was a decision he regretted for the rest of his life.

When Li Qing didn't come the next day, his heart sank, and he went straight to the director's office and told the story eagerly. He saw the director's eyes were complicated, and his ominous premonition was almost solidified.

"Li Qing is suspected of falsifying evidence and killing Rong Rong and five other people. The evidence is convincing, and the arrest warrant has just been issued."

Yu Yunlu staggered and fell back on the sofa, muttering, "Rongrong...he said Rongrong didn't kill him..."

"He wrote the letter himself and sent it with a video attached." The director was troubled by the seriousness of the matter, and his attitude was tired. Homes and phones will be monitored, I hope you understand."

Yu Yunlu nodded numbly, went back to the desk to tidy up casually, and finally took down the group photo of the three of them.

He stayed at home for a week, but he didn't expect to receive a message from Li Qing—a letter hidden in the delivery receipt, telling him to go to an abandoned factory without telling the people who were watching him.

He didn't know if he was being watched by Li Qing, so he had to quietly leave the news on the table, deliberately avoiding plainclothes.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got into the taxi, he was knocked out with a hammer, and when he woke up, he was already tied up on a chair, with two TV screens in front of him.

On one side of the screen, only a statue of the Statue of Justice was flipped, and on the other side, it was divided into four pieces, showing several directions of Hualin Municipal Kindergarten and a bomb with a flashing countdown.

"Brother Lu, long time no see." Li Qing walked around in front of him with a smile, and put a small voting device under his hand, "Send you a small--small--Suprise!"

Yu Yunlu couldn't even put on a polite smile due to the eccentric tone of voice, he forced his face to control his anger, "Li Qing, why are you—"

"Hush——" he made a silent gesture, "Brother Lu, if you make me unhappy, the bomb in the kindergarten will explode with a bang!"

The countdown only flickered, but did not start counting. Yu Yunlu swallowed, and forcibly calmed down, "What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing?" Li Qing laughed wildly, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes in a fake melancholy, "Brother Lu and Rongrong both think I was wrong, I killed the wicked and saved so many innocent people, how could I be wrong?" Woolen cloth?"

Yu Yunlu didn't want to argue anymore on this issue, and closed his eyes trying to make himself sit more comfortably.

"It doesn't matter if you don't look at me, but you have to look at this one, right?" Li Qing turned on another screen, and a question was displayed on it: If killing one sinner could save a hundred innocent people, would you choose to do so?

Yu Yunlu didn't want to choose, but found that the bomb in the kindergarten had started counting down, and looked at Li Qing in horror, "What's going on?!"

Li Qing smiled and said nothing, pressed his finger and chose "yes", the countdown stopped immediately, "Look, as long as you answer the multiple choice questions within five seconds, the countdown will stop, Brother Lu, please? "

The next question has already jumped out: If killing two sinners can save a hundred innocent people, would you choose to do so?

Yu Yunlu didn't want to press the option, but the countdown to the bomb started running again, so he finally gritted his teeth and chose "yes".

Question one popped up, and the ratio of sinners to innocent people was shrinking. Even if he forced himself not to pay attention to the content of the question, he still felt that the heavy shackles were being buckled around his neck.

Sweat dripped down, and Li Qing laughed even more wildly, and Yu Yunlu almost numbly chose the option "yes" - until the last question.

After he finished his choice, he was horrified to realize that the title said, if killing a hundred sinners could save one innocent person, would you choose to do so?

The applause sounded in his ears, he turned his neck stiffly, and saw Li Qing's contemptuous smile, like a sharp sword, cut open his already riddled heart.

"Yu Yunlu, look at you, in order to save people, you killed more sinners than innocent people, tsk tsk tsk—" Li Qing grabbed his hair viciously, forcing him to look directly at himself, "You, like me!"

Rationality told him that he didn't kill anyone at all, but his sensibility began to confuse his judgment. The voting device in his hand was like a bloody knife, making him a little dazed.

Li Qing snorted, untied his coat leisurely, revealed the bomb strapped to his body to Yu Yunlu's unbelievable eyes, and lifted the curtain on a huge cage beside him like a theater performance, It revealed three unconscious people who were tied together inside, and each of them was carrying a bomb.

"Yu Yunlu, you have to hold him steady." Li Qing nodded the voting device, "There is one last multiple-choice question—me and these three people, will you kill them to save me?"

"This one is a rape and murderer, and countless girls died in his hands."

"This one is a black widow. She cheated money after getting married and then killed her husband. She is now married for the fifth time."

"This one is a black-hearted cook who puts poppy shells in the food to make people addicted, and it has caused countless people."

Li Qing turned around and made a weird and non-standard curtain call ceremony, "So, who do you choose?"

The countdown to the bomb in the kindergarten started again, and Yu Yunlu fumbled back and forth between the two buttons, his lips were bitten until he bled, not to mention that Li Qing began to imitate the sound of the clock moving, the nerves that made him jump to the limit almost immediately disappeared. To break.

The photo that he withdrew upside down reappeared in his mind, and Yu Yunlu shed tears unconsciously, with his finger hanging on the "yes" button.

He closed his eyes and pressed down hard.

The imaginary explosion sound did not sound, but Li Qing laughed until he thumped the ground. He opened his eyes in disbelief, and saw the other party easily dismantling the bomb and throwing it on the ground, mocking, "Yu Yun Lu, a hypocrite like you has no right to accuse me."

Li Qing put away the two screens, made a phone call, turned to the panting Yu Yunlu and said, "All the bombs are fake, Yu Yunlu, are you having fun?"

An off-road vehicle drove in outside the factory, Li Qing opened the door and sat on it, and finally poked his head out, "The police officers you trust the most are coming soon, so I won't stay any longer, Officer Yu, I wish you a happy life .”

Yu Yunlu sat on the spot, perhaps because the rope tied to his body was very tight and his blood was blocked, he just felt that there was no warmth in his whole body.When the police officers who received the news rushed into the factory, he was relieved.

However, things would only get worse. The bomb in the cage exploded suddenly, and several police officers who were rescued around them flew out. Fortunately, the power was not particularly powerful, and with the buffer of the human body, Yu Yunlu was protected It didn't hurt to fall to the ground, but his face was as pale as a ghost.

When he sat in the car wrapped in a blanket and learned that the kindergarten bomb had also exploded, he didn't even feel his fingers pinching into his palm.

Holding the last sliver of hope, he murmured to the personnel on the scene about the situation of the last bomb. The sweaty EOD officer took off his helmet and waved, "It's okay, that's fake..."

He couldn't listen to a word of the following words, Yu Yunlu's whole world was on the verge of collapse, he was once so panicked that he felt nauseous and vomited when he saw multiple-choice questions, as a psychologist, he knew clearly that he was sick, but there was nothing he could do about it.

In the end, he approved an indefinite long leave from the director, and was admitted to a nursing home for two years of psychological treatment. He changed his name upside down and changed his name to Lu Yunyu and hid it in the police system. organized group.

When he was about to recover, he received another message from Li Qing somehow. The pale and mean Lu Yunyu buried the warm and soft Yu Yunlu in the past, and came to Hualin City with a suitcase.
