It was past ten o'clock in the forensic center, and most of the people had left, with only a few offices still with lights on.
On the floor of Director Yuan's office, his room was the only one with the lights on.
Xu Mingzhi took the mineral water handed over by Director Yuan, took a sip, and said thoughtfully, "I had a phone call with Yu Guang earlier. He now suspects that the murderer is likely to continue committing crimes in the near future. What do you think?"
Director Yuan frowned when he heard this: "What's the reason?"
Xu Mingzhi thought for a while and said: "He felt that the murderer killed to complete a certain ritual in his heart, but Yu Keke's death did not allow him to complete this ritual, which also resulted in him being unable to obtain inner satisfaction, so He urgently needs to kill again to complete this ritual."
Director Yuan looked at Xu Mingzhi and said in surprise: "Has this Yu Guang ever studied psychology?"
Xu Mingzhi shook his head: "I don't know, he studied architecture in college."
"I know about the corpse, but I don't know about the murderer's psychology. However, if this is really a serial murder case, then what Yu Guang said may not be impossible." Director Yuan has always been cautious in speaking. Saying 'maybe not impossible' means that he actually agrees with Yu Guang's words.
Xu Mingzhi had an idea in his mind, and after thinking about it, he said, "An extra shift tonight?"
Director Yuan gave him a funny look and said, "Where do you want me to go?"
"Huangli Village. I discovered a place there with my peripheral vision before. I went in and took a look. The room was filled with the smell of disinfectant water and there were freezers. The site was very clean. It was very likely that it was the first scene. I originally thought Wait and wait, but in this situation, I can't afford to wait. So I want you to take a trip and see if you can find any useful clues." Xu Mingzhi said.
When Director Yuan heard this, he did not refuse. He just listened to Xu Mingzhi's intention and seemed to want him to go alone, so he asked: "Should I go alone?"
Xu Mingzhi nodded: "Yu Guang is still in Huangli Village. I will call him later and ask him to wait for you there."
Director Yuan looked at him and said, "You don't treat him as an outsider at all now!"
"He helped a lot with this case, and he is basically aware of the progress of the case. More people have more power!" Xu Mingzhi said.
Director Yuan saw his little thoughts and pointed it out directly: "You want to absorb him?"
Xu Mingzhi was shocked and nodded directly to admit: "I have this idea."
"Did Bureau Huang mention it?" Director Yuan asked again.
Xu Mingzhi shook his head and said, "Let's wait until this case is over."
After Director Yuan stared at him for a while, he suddenly said: "You'd better say hello to the Yellow Bureau as soon as possible about this matter. After all, strictly speaking, your current behavior is against the rules. If someone comes to the Yellow Bureau first Say something over there and you will become passive."
Xu Mingzhi didn't take Director Yuan's reminder to heart. After all, he knew that Yu Guang had people involved in this case, namely those in his own team. He still knows the character of those under his command.
Xu Mingzhi explained a few more words to Director Yuan, and then copied Yu Guang's mobile phone number to him, then left the forensic center and called Yu Guang again when walking to the criminal investigation building.
On the other side, Yu Guang had just fallen asleep again and was woken up again. He was inevitably a little angry, and when he spoke, his tone was somewhat harsh. Xu Mingzhi could only pretend not to hear it, and after a few words in a hurry, he told Director Yuan that he wanted to go there and wanted him to accompany him. Regardless of whether Yu Guang agreed or not, he said that Director Yuan was already on the way.
On the other side, Yu Guang was sitting on the bed, so angry that he almost laughed.
"Xu Mingzhi, why don't I give up that non-staff status?" Yu Guang said through gritted teeth.
Xu Mingzhi said hey: "A manly man, once you say something, you can't keep it. Since you said you want it, you can't say no again. Be good, I'll treat you to dinner when the case is over!" He coaxed like a child.
Yu Guang smiled angrily: "Get out of here, uncle!" After that, he threw the phone away.
Xu Mingzhi laughed when he heard the sound of the phone rolling down. His mood, which was a little depressed because of Zhang Xueyi's incident, suddenly improved a lot.
Walking into the office on the fifth floor, among the team members, only Lao Wang and Wang Dayun were not there.
He glanced at Wang Dayun's workstation and asked Shen Mei, "Where are the others?"
Shen Mei replied: "I don't know, it was still there before."
Xu Mingzhi didn't bother to explore the truth or falsehood of her words, and asked: "Who is responsible for the salvage work at Luzhuang Reservoir?"
"It's Captain Li." Shen Mei replied.
"Give me a call." Xu Mingzhi said.
After getting the phone, Xu Mingzhi turned around and entered his office and started making calls. The phone was connected after a few rings.
"Team Li, hello, I'm Xu Mingzhi." After introducing himself, Xu Mingzhi immediately asked: "Are you still over there at the reservoir?"
After receiving a positive answer, he asked a little embarrassedly: "How is the situation there now? Can the salvage work continue?"
There was silence on the phone for a moment.
Xu Mingzhi glanced at the heavy rain outside the window, and he knew that this request was indeed a bit embarrassing. But in the current situation, he was eager to find some definite evidence so that he could completely suppress the devil Zhang Xueyi.
He thought for a while and added: "Of course, safety comes first. If there is really a risk, forget it." As soon as he said this, Captain Li's solemn voice came over the phone: "The wind is getting lighter now, let's go ahead and forget it." Let’s try it, but if there is any danger, we will have to suspend it first.”
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work. I will come over to find you when I have arranged the things at hand." Xu Mingzhi said.
"Just wait for my call. Come back when there is news. If there is no news, your trip will be in vain." Captain Li said, "That's it for now. Let's get ready to go into the water. Hang up."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Mingzhi decided to take a trip.
He walked out of the small office, found He Yu, and asked him, "Have you found Liu Jinye?"
He Yu shook his head and said not yet.
"Do you have the movement track of his car in the past month?" Xu Mingzhi asked again.
He Yu shook his head in embarrassment: "Not yet."
"Let the technical department speed up a little bit." After Xu Mingzhi ordered, he mentioned to He Yu the idea that the murderer used games to determine the target that Yu Guang had told him before, and asked him to think of a way. See if you can find out what games Zhang Xueyi is playing recently.
After He Yu agreed, he prepared to set off for Luzhuang Reservoir. Unexpectedly, before he got into the car, Lao Wang called.
Lao Wang was guarding Zhang Xueyi in Yuehe City at this time. At this time, he called. Could it be that there was any movement from Zhang Xueyi? Xu Mingzhi's heart tightened and he immediately picked up the phone.
"Is there any movement?" he asked.
On the phone, Lao Wang asked him: "Have you confirmed that Zhang Xueyi is at home before?"
Xu Mingzhi was stunned when asked.
Is Zhang Xueyi at home...?
Isn't he here? He asked as soon as the idea came to him.
Lao Wang replied: "She shouldn't be there. I asked the property manager to knock on the door, but no one answered."
Xu Mingzhi stood at the door of the criminal investigation building. It was raining heavily outside. A gust of wind carried the rain, making him shiver suddenly.
After seeing Zhang Liangcheng's car earlier, he subconsciously thought that Zhang Liangcheng and Zhang Xueyi had already met, so he didn't even think of checking whether Zhang Xueyi was at home.
Later, although he was reminded from the corner of his eye that Zhang Liangcheng might have only arrived briefly and might not have met or contacted Zhang Xueyi at all, but because of his subconscious self-hypnosis, he had completely forgotten about it.
This kind of negligence was the first time in his seven years of working life.
He swallowed his dry throat and said, "Ask the property management for surveillance to see when he left Yuehe City."
Lao Wang hung up the phone, and Xu Mingzhi stood there, looking at the heavy rain outside, feeling a little cold.
A rainy night like this is a good time to commit murder. Rain will wash away all traces, natural and perfect.
