In the conference room.
Wang Ye sat in the main seat, and everyone took their seats one by one. Fang Mu sat at the front on the left. As a newcomer, Chen Shi naturally had to sit at the back.
After everyone had almost arrived, Wang Ye took the lead and said, "This case involves two lives and also involves the 628 case. Everyone, please share your views."
Everyone who was having a heated discussion outside just now was silent at this time.
Wang Ye frowned slightly when he saw this scene, then turned to look at Fang Mu.
"Fang Mu, you are the main person in charge of this case, tell me what you think."
Fang Mu stood up and first talked about the case, then the results of their current investigation and the results of Xu Mo's interrogation.
Everyone present knew this, including Wang Ye.
So, he raised his hand and interrupted: "Just tell me what you think."
"yes."
Fang Mu responded, and then said: "Based on the current investigation results and Xu Mo's confession, it is very likely that a fourth person was present at the scene when the murder occurred."
"Judging from the manner of death of the deceased and the Y mark left at the scene, this person is likely to be the murderer of Case 628."
"Even if he is not the murderer, he must be related to the 628 case. At least this person knows the 628 case very well."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Wang Ye also nodded secretly, and then asked: "Are you sure there is a fourth person at the scene now?"
Fang Mu shook his head and said: "From the on-site inspection, there is no way to be sure."
"Since we can't be sure for the time being, we'll find a way to be sure."
"Yes, after the meeting is over, I will go to the site in person."
Wang Ye nodded and continued: "Regardless of whether there is a fourth person at the scene, this case involves Case 628. If I remember correctly, a similar case happened in Xiacheng Street a month ago, right?"
Another policeman quickly answered: "Yes, this case has been solved, the murderer has been arrested, and he confessed to his crime."
"This case seems to be related to Case 628, right?"
"Yes, we found the Y mark at the scene, but after the murderer was arrested, according to his confession, he was not able to leave any mark at the scene."
"Oh, that's how it is."
Wang Ye paused for a moment, then changed the topic and said, "I remember that Xu Mo provided a lot of clues when that case was solved, right?"
Liu Lei nodded and said: "Yes, our investigation was at a deadlock at that time. It was Xu Mo who provided us with new ideas, and the murderer was finally caught. It was also Xu Mo who analyzed the murderer's personality traits and found his hiding place. Location."
"As expected of the great detective, his efficiency in investigating cases is actually higher than that of our police."
As soon as these words came out, most people present laughed.
There is definitely some embarrassment, but more of it is relaxed.
Because they could hear that Wang Ye obviously didn't believe that Xu Mo was the murderer.
But these words were extremely harsh in Chen Shi's ears.
Just when he was about to say something, he saw Fang Muzheng looking at him and shaking his head slightly. Chen Shi had to swallow the words that came to his mouth.
"well, let's get back to business."
"The last time the murderer of Case 628 committed a crime was three years ago. At that time, we thought that the old comrade appeared at the scene in time. Not only was the victim killed, our old comrade was also brutally murdered. This is a huge loss for our police."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became solemn and depressing, and many people subconsciously looked at Fang Mu.
They all knew that the old comrade Wang Ye spoke of was none other than Fang Mu's master, Lu Guofu.
Lu Guofu's murder caused a huge shock within the police. The Provincial Public Security Department and the Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately established a task force and deployed a large number of police forces to investigate the case and track down the murderer.
Even the ministry was very concerned about this matter and sent criminal investigation experts to assist in the investigation.
During that time, Baiyin City was on high alert, and the police turned Baiyin City upside down. They arrested countless criminals and suspects, but they could not find the murderer of Case 628.
Not to mention the murderer, not even many useful clues were found.
The deadline for solving the case was extended again and again, but in the end the police still failed to solve the case and had no choice but to disband the task force and hang up the case.
In this case, not only did one victim die, Lu Guofu died, but Xu Mo's father, Xu Lang, also disappeared.
At that time, many people doubted whether Xu Lang might be the murderer.
Therefore, the task force also conducted surveillance and tracking of Xu Mo's family for more than half a year, but unfortunately found nothing.
According to multiple interviews and investigations, Xu Lang is not the murderer, but also a victim.
Because, on the day of the incident, Lu Guofu and Xu Lang were together, consulting on some psychological issues.
Not long after the two separated, Lu Guofu discovered that the murderer was committing the crime and was subsequently killed, while Xu Lang's whereabouts were unknown.
As for whether Xu Lang was killed or was kidnapped and taken away by the murderer, the police did not know.
But judging from the current results, Xu Lang was obviously killed, but they haven't found the body yet.
It was also from that time that Xu Mo frequently intervened in murder cases and assisted the police in solving the cases as a detective.
But it is worth mentioning that Fang Mu felt that Lu Guofu's murder had a lot to do with Xu Lang.
First of all, Lu Guofu and Xu Lang were not very familiar with each other. The two people, who had not had much contact with each other, suddenly got in touch, and then Lu Guofu was killed. This has to make people suspicious;
Secondly, Lu Guofu had been investigating the 628 case during his lifetime. During this period, he had set his sights on Xu Lang many times. After all, according to their psychological profile of the murderer, Xu Lang met the conditions, not to mention that his profession was still a good one. A psychiatrist who is obsessed with people's endless reveries.
In addition, in this case, Lu Guofu, a policeman, died, but Xu Lang only disappeared. It has to be suspected that the murderer knew Xu Lang, or even Xu Lang was the murderer.
The last point is related to Fang Mu's childhood experience, so I won't mention it for now.
It is precisely because of these that Fang Mu has always doubted Xu Mo.
To be precise, Fang Mu suspected Xu Mo's family.
At this time, when Fang Mu heard Wang Ye mention the case three years ago again, he lowered his head expressionlessly, but subconsciously clenched his hands.
Wang Ye glanced at Fang Mu and continued: "In just one month, there were two murder cases related to the murderer of Case 628. What does this mean?"
"It shows that the murderer has come out to commit crimes again. This is a provocation to our police!"
"I decide!"
All police officers stood up.
"From today on, a 404 task force will be established. I will serve as the team leader, and Fang Mu will be the deputy leader. All police officers, except under special circumstances, will cancel their vacations and make every effort to investigate the 404 cases. Fang Mu will decide how to investigate. I will Just one sentence."
"The murder must be solved, and we strive to catch the real murderer and bring him to justice before another murder occurs."
"I don't want to emphasize what the 628 case means, but I would like to remind everyone here that you must pay attention to the methods during the investigation. Don't wrongly accuse a good person, let alone let a bad person go."
"Okay, now that I've finished speaking, Fang Mu will arrange the tasks."
