Chapter 16 Profile of the Murderer
As if he felt that what he said was not accurate enough, Shanglu changed his statement: "It's just like we dig watermelons to eat, using that method to dig them out."
"Eh... this is too cruel..." Wu Qingluan shuddered unconsciously. Shang Lu chuckled, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her with a smile: "Sister Qingluan, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"
Wu Qingluan rarely gets so close to others. Shang Lu hugged her tightly. She still smelled of formalin from the dissection room, which made her feel a little weird. But she couldn't refuse the kindness of her sister, so she forced a smile. Li Meng made a sound and said coldly, "You are the only one who protects Teacher Wu? I can knock you down with just one finger."
There seemed to be some misunderstanding between Shang Lu and Li Meng. She rolled her eyes at him when she heard what he said. Li Meng thought it was funny to see that she was so angry because of him. He grinned foolishly and looked very happy.
"Okay, Teacher Wu, please tell me your ideas." Gu Nankai found it interesting to see these children younger than him making noise in front of him. He smiled and turned his gaze to Wu Qingluan.
Wu Qingluan immediately sat down, still looking like a goddess. She quickly sorted out all the information in her mind, then she leaned forward slightly, put her arms on the table, interlocked her fingers, and expressed her opinion: "Through the tragic situation at the scene and everyone's analysis just now, combined with his murder method, and the fact that he could stay at the scene calmly and even erase the evidence that would expose himself after the crime, it can be seen that the murderer is psychologically perverted to a certain extent. He may even be perverted to enjoy this murder. What I want to say is that the reason why the murderer can be so orderly is that he has at least been prepared for a long time, and the murderer himself is likely to have lived in the dark for a long time, or he must have suffered a devastating blow to have such a dark mentality. What we are looking for is probably a short, hunchbacked man with a disabled leg who has lived in the dark for many years."
Wu Qingluan looked at Gu Nankai after she finished speaking: "What do you think?"
Gu Nankai nodded in agreement with her. He stood up and said, "Everyone has done a good job. Let me summarize. Sheng Yuandong's death now seems to be closely related to Zheng Yi's death. So we must first find out whether Zheng Yi's death was an accident or man-made. What is the connection between his death and Sheng Yuandong and Zhao Kaichuan? If the murderer is really related to what happened ten years ago, I'm afraid he will commit a second crime!"
"You mean, Zhao Kaichuan is also in danger?" Wu Qingluan frowned.
"Well, it's very likely, so we have to contact Zhao Kaichuan as soon as possible and do a good job of protecting him. According to the surveillance video of Sheng Yuandong's community, the murderer has a certain understanding of circuits and networks. In addition, we have been ignoring the most important issue. After checking the door lock of Sheng Yuandong's house, there is no damage or signs of being pried. So how did the murderer come and go freely? Sheng Yuandong's house is on the 25th floor, and it is basically impossible to enter from the outside. Besides, the murderer has disabilities in his legs and feet."
"We have also thought about this. Now we have concluded that there are three possibilities: first, the murderer is an expert in lock picking; second, the murderer obtained the key to Sheng Yuandong's house through some means; third, Sheng Yuandong took the initiative to open the door for the murderer." Cao Cang quickly answered the question raised by Gu Nankai.
Gu Nankai was very satisfied with his speed and nodded silently.
After some discussion, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. After a whole day, everyone was exhausted. Gu Nankai did not want to oppress the young people, so he said seriously: "It's late, everyone go back and rest, and go visit Zhao Kaichuan and Zheng Yi's family tomorrow morning."
Everyone had left, but Gu Nankai still stayed in the serious crime team. He sat on a chair, thinking about what Wu Qingluan had said: darkness, long-term planning, perversion... The murderer seemed very excited about killing people, and every step he took seemed to be accompanied by pleasure, the pleasure of revenge... What kind of thing could have scared Sheng Yuandong to death? How could the murderer be so terrifying that he could scare a person to death?
What kind of person is this, an adult man who weighs like a girl and is as tall as a child? He closed his eyes and tilted his head back, sinking into the chair, frowning as he pondered the problem in his mind. Suddenly, a voice sounded above his head: "Why, are you going to leave or not? My car has been turned off several times."
Gu Nankai suddenly opened his eyes and found that the person standing in front of him was Wu Qingluan. At this moment, Wu Qingluan was looking at him with a very unfriendly look. Gu Nankai pinched his eye sockets and stood up: "Didn't I tell you to go back first? I was planning to sleep here tonight."
Wu Qingluan glared at him unhappily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I waited for so long in vain." She was a little angry, and some words were really hard to explain. She turned around and was about to leave angrily, but Gu Nankai stopped her at this time: "Wait."
"What are you doing again!" Wu Qingluan stopped, but her tone was not good. Gu Nankai took the coat on the back of the chair and walked over: "Let's go back together. It's not safe for you to be a girl alone."
Wu Qingluan's face was still cold, but her heart was slightly warmed by his words. Although Gu Nankai was the same to everyone, neither too close nor too cold, she always felt that this man was deliberately alienating her from others. As a psychology expert, she could understand many people, but she could not see through this man. However, Chen Anning said that Gu Nankai was not like this before, so what was Gu Nankai like before? What was the secret in his heart?
The two walked side by side, and Wu Qingluan spoke first: "Gu Nankai, why did you leave the police station three years ago?"
"Private matter." Gu Nankai answered her concisely.
"You were very resistant to what happened three years ago. You wanted to avoid it, but found that avoidance was futile, so you decided to return to the police station, right?" Wu Qingluan did not give up and spoke again.
Gu Nankai raised his eyebrows and glanced at her: "Guess?"
Wu Qingluan was stunned for a moment, then she snorted and quickened her pace to keep pace with him, saying rudely, "I only condescended to help you because you saved my life. You are so tactless. Forget it, just keep your secret and waste your time."
Gu Nankai stopped walking now, staring at Wu Qingluan with clear eyes, as if smiling: "So you came to the serious crime squad to repay me for saving your life?"
"Of course!" Wu Qingluan replied loudly without thinking. When she met Gu Nankai's bright eyes, she felt a little weak. She quickly said, "Not entirely. I'm not short of money. I'm very interested in the work of the serious crime team. Besides, being able to work with a team to turn the police shame into a legend in the police world is much more interesting than publishing papers and speeches."
"That's true." Gu Nankai smiled.
Wu Qingluan didn't like the way he treated her as a junior, so she opened the car door and said angrily, "Don't always look at me like an older person, okay? Not only me, but everyone else. You have to understand that you are living in my house now, and you have to pay me rent every month. To some extent, I am your breadwinner."
