Li Yongqing suffers from albinism. His condition is oculocutaneous albinism, which causes a lack of pigment in the body, including an abnormal pale pink irises and a different skin color. In this way, he usually needs to wear contact lenses when traveling, and even needs makeup to hide his differences from ordinary people. Perhaps this ability is also one of the inherent characteristics that allows him to easily cover up his appearance.
This condition is one of the reasons why he has been sighted with the characteristic white hair. However, his actual physical fitness is no different from that of ordinary people, and he does not suffer from the obvious symptoms of albinism that affect physical fitness and reduce immunity.
It is an almost incurable disease, but it is not fatal. The relative photophobia is just another burden for Li Yongqing himself, and it can go hand in hand with his usual purpose of concealing his appearance. Xiao Ziming had taken this factor into consideration earlier, and the previous arrest time was also early in the morning - a time when many people often have no time to prepare to go out.
Just like in a fantasy story, the monster hunter goes to great lengths and preparations to capture a vampire who is afraid of the sun.
But Xiao Ziming still didn't expect that Li Yongqing had been suffering from cancer and was almost in the advanced stage before he was arrested.
In the alibi that proved invalid during the murder of Li Mingde, Li Yongqing was hospitalized for treatment because of skin cancer, which is more likely to occur in patients with albinism. But this time the disease was discovered earlier, and he successfully completed all the treatments at that time and recovered within the actual hospitalization time.
According to Xiao Ziming's judgment, the half-year silence in Dawn after those four cases may be because hospitalization has become urgent.
But now, although Li Yongqing's appearance remains the same, his body is in chaos again - cancer has invaded again, this time in a more difficult-to-remove area, and the cancer cells in the skin cancer that can almost immediately be judged to be recurrent have metastasized.
In the years since Dawn was raging, Li Yongqing had never been in the hospital for a long time, nor had he worked a fixed job in one place for a long time. He had always traveled around as a freelance worker without leaving any trace.
He fainted in the interrogation room and was sent to a nearby hospital for diagnosis under the supervision of Xiao Ziming himself.
Xiao Ziming followed the condition report of his opponent whom he had never met for a long time from beginning to end, so much so that the doctor who didn't know the truth almost regarded him as a family member of the patient. Xiao Ziming, who was deep in thought, almost said " Signed as "patient's family member".
When the diagnosis report of late-stage cancer was given, Li Yongqing was almost prepared. He was even able to laugh it off after waking up, and then continued to take the time to play games with Xiao Ziming on another level.
This is not completely out of Xiao Ziming’s expectation. Liming’s extraordinary ability also stems from his extensive knowledge and strong memory. It is impossible for Li Yongqing to be completely ignorant of the symptoms of pre-cancer - because he himself has suffered from it. Cancer, it is impossible not to have read relevant information at all.
He may have been aware of what was happening to him, but ignored it. Xiao Ziming also gradually realized the problem. Li Yongqing seemed to be stalling for time with him, and his efforts on Li Yongqing made almost no progress. At the same time, the turmoil in the outside world also had a more profound impact on his own life.
Xiao Ziming is a person who has little pursuit of quality of life and interpersonal communication. He didn't care what the outside world thought of him, and he was merciless when his relatives and friends wanted to use their connections to discuss the case. When the case was at a critical juncture, no one from above came to trouble him. Even the people on the task force were too busy investigating another person. Liming had no time to care about anything other than guarding Li Yongqing.
In other words, Xiao Ziming has more "his own time".
Due to illness, Li Yongqing, who had evidence of his crime, was transferred to the hospital for treatment, and his time to go to court was also delayed. Xiao Ziming realized that his further testing had lost its effect, and began to gradually shift his work content.
His idea is quite simple. Now that Li Yongqing has been arrested and cannot continue to commit crimes, and the newly emerged criminal fits Lai Ming's characteristics, there is only one possibility left - there is indeed a second criminal genius who can achieve perfect crimes just like Li Yongqing.
A complete hypothesis has even been formed in Xiao Ziming's mind - although there is no conclusive evidence - that is, New Dawn is an apprentice actively trained by Li Yongqing. The two never cooperate in committing crimes, but Li Yongqing teaches the second candidate He learned his life's experience and began to carry out separate killing operations alternately before Li Yongqing was arrested.
This is the only way to explain the possibility that another Dawn could also have sufficient criminal experience. Even though it is incredible, this is the only possibility in Xiao Ziming's theory.
But at this time, the change happened again.
When he heard the news, Xiao Ziming was exploring the scene of another Liming crime with the new police officer from the task force. He was going to reorganize the newcomer's criminal thinking, repeat the same tricks from the perspective of criminal psychology, and deduce the subtle differences between the two crimes... But all these thoughts ended the moment he heard the news.
Li Yongqing tried to commit suicide in the hospital and was rescued in time - this was the first-hand news that came from the members of the subsequent task force responsible for assisting and caring for Li Yongqing.
Xiao Ziming, who rushed after hearing the news, saw Li Yongqing waking up after cutting his wrists with medical equipment. He had been "behaving well" for too long. Both the doctors and nurses in the hospital and the members of the task force thought that he would take advantage of his illness to delay the incident. The suicide incident was truly shocking.
And being rescued seemed to be what Li Yongqing expected. Because immediately afterwards, Xiao Ziming was delivered even more surprising news by Li Yongqing, who had regained consciousness.
Li Yongqing’s surrender.
He confessed to a total of three vicious murders. Including the one that Xiao Ziming finally exposed, the total was four.
In these four cases, Li Yongqing told all the details from beginning to end surrounded by members of the task force. Every detail is consistent with the facts, including the location where the murder weapon is hidden, the process of implementing every technique, every witness who was deliberately avoided by Li Yongqing and the tricks used, and even the content that the police are unsure of - such as What did each victim say before he died, what did he do with whom, and whether he tried to fight back excitedly or was quietly attacked and died.
After hearing such a narrative with one's own ears, absolutely no one would question his identity as "Dawn".
The sum of the numerous crimes, whether by coincidence or deliberate, was just enough to sentence him to death.
