Chapter 105 Starlight
Until Luo Xun and his group left the forensic room, Section Chief Ning was still in shock and hadn't reacted.
Then he searched again for reports on the Linhai major serial murder case.
Back then, outstanding detectives from all over the country gathered there, and everyone was at a loss as to how to solve the case. In the end, it was a criminal psychology expert who had never shown up who provided the key clue.
As a result, the whole case went from stagnant water to living water.
After that, the other party sent several more clues, and everyone solved the case smoothly as if with divine help. But when they asked about this so-called criminal psychologist, their superior remained silent.
Ning Yi was still curious about the identity of this psychologist and never expected that they would become colleagues.
What’s even more unexpected is that she was only 20 years old six years ago.
God is really unfair. He sighed, lowered his head to Pei Xinlu's body, and said in a sad voice: "Brother, don't you think so?"
The brothers were unable to answer him, but the disciple Xiao Zhao who had just entered the door asked him blankly: "Master, what are you doing? What is it?"
Forensic Doctor Ning has been working in the forensic department for decades, and today he was almost scared to death by his own apprentice's shout.
Although he took a small step back, his face remained calm. He raised his head and said, "Nothing. I just wanted to communicate with the victim."
"How about you say Master, you are my Master."
Xiao Zhao came over with an admiring look on his face, almost bumping into Pei Xinlu's face: "Why can't I communicate with him, Master..."
Ning Yi's mouth twitched, and he patted the silly disciple's shoulder weakly: "Maybe your skills are not good enough, keep practicing."
The silly disciple nodded firmly: "Master, I will definitely work hard!"
Ning Yi sighed and walked away. The silly disciple thought that his master despised him and silently encouraged himself in his heart.
Ning Yi wanted to turn around and tell Xiao Zhao, silly child, in this world, there are some things that you can’t just work hard for…
But he had just suffered a critical blow and was unable to react at the moment. It would be better to let the child figure out this kind of life truth on his own.
As for Chi Xia, Luo Xun gave Lin Wenjue a look and he knew that he'd better keep his mouth shut and not speak, so he appeared unusually calm and... pretending to be calm along the way.
Chi Xia was trying to figure out the whole case in his mind and his attention was not here at all.
The three of them returned to the task force. Luo Xun subconsciously checked the time. As expected, it was another fulfilling day.
Lin Wenjue came back and repeated the clues from Luo Xun to Cao Bin and Juanmao.
"Leave me all the relevant written materials."
After a short pause, Luo Xun spoke, his voice a little dry: "Then let's roughly assign tomorrow's tasks. Everyone go back and rest, and continue tomorrow."
No one had any objections. After a day of running around, everyone was very tired.
Chi Xia went to get some water and also got a cup for Luo Xun. Luo Xun glanced at her, picked up the cup and drank most of it.
He wiped his mouth and leaned his arm on the edge of the table. "Let me summarize. Our current focus is to find the murderer of Pei Xinlu. Then everything related to Zhou Wanrou will be revealed. Our current focus is on Pei Xinlu's death. We need to find out Pei Xinlu's social and emotional relationships, especially who was the woman with him on the day Pei Xi was killed."
"It seems that Ji Shiqing is very suspicious now. Do you want me to keep an eye on her?" Cao Bin asked.
Chi Xia said, "No need. I've asked a friend to keep an eye on Ji Shiqing. He will notify us at any time if there is any situation."
Cao Bin clasped his hands together and bowed: "Xia, thank you friends for sharing our worries!"
Chi Xia smiled and said it was nothing: "Then I'll go to Ji Shiqing's place tomorrow. After all, girls understand girls better."
Lin Wenjue immediately said, "You go with Luo Xun, you can't go alone."
Chi Xia had no objection and nodded: "Okay."
Luo Xun didn't say anything, so he probably had no objection.
"in addition……."
Luo Xun rubbed his face and said, "Yes, Lao Lin, you should dig deeper into Pei Xinlu. Didn't you say that the channel through which he discussed the project needs to be verified? Maybe this is also a direction. You can give it a try."
"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange it." Lin Wenjue responded.
Luo Xun took a deep breath, wiped his face again, and clapped his hands: "Okay, let's do this for now. If there is any situation, we can adjust it at any time. Let's go back and rest. See you tomorrow."
Everyone ran away. Chi Xia tidied up at his seat and was about to leave when he saw Luo Xun sitting next to a large desk with a pile of information. He had already opened two documents and was comparing them.
Chi Xia walked over and said, "Captain Luo, you're not leaving?"
Luo Xun raised his head, his eyes full of fatigue: "Well, let me see if I can confirm the authenticity of the suicide note tonight. Otherwise, we have too few clues and seem too passive."
Chi Xia pulled out a chair and was about to sit down: "Then I'll go with you."
"Need not."
Luo Xun raised his hand to stop her: "Or are you going to tell me now, do you know a little bit about handwriting identification?"
Chi Xia was stunned, then laughed and said, "I really don't know how to do this, but Captain Luo, I can learn."
"There are plenty of opportunities to learn, but not tonight."
Luo Xun shook his hands: "Go back quickly, and be careful on the road."
Chi Xia weighed the pros and cons and listened to him, and put the chair back: "Okay, then I'll leave."
"Well, let's go back."
Luo Xun lowered his head again, and when Chi Xia walked to the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something: "Send me a message when you get home."
Chi Xia stood at the door and looked over. The soft light shone on Luo Xun. He had his back to her, his back broad and steady.
Chi Xia smiled and said, "Okay."
The moonlight was clear. The evening breeze in Dongzhou was different from that in Qincheng. It always brought a whiff of heat, but now it felt very cool. Chi Xia stood in front of the office building and looked up at the sky, seeing many stars.
She walked to the security booth and greeted Zhang Jinguo.
Luo Xun in the office yawned several times in succession. He had just washed his face with cold water and came out of the bathroom when he saw Zhang Jinguo coming out of the elevator.
"Why are you here?" He took two quick steps, wiped his face with his wet hands, and subconsciously straightened his clothes.
Zhang Jinguo stood at the door of the task force and raised the midnight snack in his hand: "Xiao Xia asked me to deliver it to you."
Luo Xun looked at the bag and seemed to have smelled the fragrance.
The two of them got into the elevator again in tacit understanding, left the office building, and sat on the stairs in front of the building.
"Would you like a sip?" Luo Xun handed the paper bowl to Zhang Jinguo.
Zhang Jinguo laughed at him: "Eat it quickly. The girl didn't buy it for me. I'm full."
Luo Xun smiled and put food into his mouth without any hesitation.
"You're not going back, and this case is also difficult?"
Zhang Jinguo asked, and then laughed: "Look at what nonsense I am asking. In this line of work, every case is difficult..."
"Captain Zhang." Luo Xun stopped and asked him, "You have handled so many cases. Have you ever seen someone kill his own child?"
Zhang Jinguo recalled for a while: "Yes, but very few."
"I once encountered a case where the suspect killed his own son. In the end, we found out that the son was just a jerk. To use the stuff your master is studying now, it's a natural antisocial personality. There's no way around it."
Luo Xun became interested: "So the suspect is trying to get rid of harm for the people?"
Zhang Jinguo sneered: "Well, that's the reason. It's very simple, but... it's also very weak, right?"
Luo Xun put food back into his mouth: "Hmm."
Zhang Jinguo spoke again: "Your master also encountered a case a few years ago. The suspect's daughter was sexually assaulted. The incident was quite serious. The whole family was pointed at every day, and there was no way to move."
"What happened next?" Luo Xun asked casually.
"Later... the father first killed his daughter, then killed the man who harmed her, and finally jumped from the building with his wife. He chose a great location."
"Which one did you choose?" Luo Xun looked over.
"Anyway, the body fell and landed right on the terrace of the family that usually spread the rumors the most."
Zhang Jinguo sighed: "It happened a long time ago. You see, they couldn't survive, but they didn't want to let those who couldn't survive live well. Can you say they did something wrong? You can't say that, right?"
Luo Xun hummed and drank the wonton soup in one breath: "What if the suspect killed a four-year-old child?"
Zhang Jinguo turned his head to look at him. Luo Xun tied up the plastic bag and put the food aside. He put his arms behind his back to support his head and leaned back. The starry sky came into view.
"Shouldn't a four-year-old child live a good life? What could he have done wrong?"
Zhang Jinguo was silent for a long time, and then he lay down like him. He said, "Those who attack children are worse than beasts."
"The child can't be wrong."
His voice was sonorous and powerful in the summer night: "The only one who is wrong is the adults."
