Chapter 37 He Has Us
No matter who is asked of Huamei, it is almost impossible to answer the question, because no one can find clues faster than the police.
However, Wu Rong is such an outlier. As long as it is something he wants to know, he can receive clues before the task force.
All this is made possible by his unique title, President of the National Association for Police Psychological Research.
This is why Gu Xia is wary of him. Wu Rong, as the chairman on the surface, has considerable power. He has the right to conduct psychological assessments in almost any police station below the provincial level.
Therefore, if he submitted any psychological report that was unfavorable to the chief of any local police station, then the chief's official career would be over. For this reason, local police stations would usually secretly provide him with some conveniences, such as some case information.
Of course, there are always exceptions. For example, in the special task force formed by the Ministry of Public Security, Wu Rong is not qualified to conduct any psychological assessment on any member or intervene in the case.
Because this is Gu Xia's bottom line, and it is also the condition for accepting the Ministry of Public Security to be in charge of the special task force.
So just as Huamei said, the only person who could arrive at the scene before the task force was probably President Wu Rong, and no one else could do it.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Rong and Huamei have a special relationship, and even have some intersections with Gu Xia, because the former was brought into the field of psychology by the same professor, while the latter is the junior of that professor.
"Do you think it's really me?" Wu Rong's expression didn't change much, he still looked at Huamei with a smile.
"I have to doubt you." Huamei showed a rare expression of disgust: "You are too fake. Everything you say, even your smile now, makes me sick. I even doubt whether you want to kill me behind your smile."
"You have a deep misunderstanding of me." Wu Rong sighed and said, "But since you took the initiative to find me, and we haven't seen each other for so many years, I naturally have to give you a meeting gift."
"You say." Huamei's expression was very alert. Because she didn't believe every word the other party said, she had to carefully identify any clues provided by the other party, and at the same time observe the other party's micro-expressions.
"First of all, whether you believe it or not, the crime scene has nothing to do with me." Wu Rong paused and continued: "The murderer in this case is very strange."
"Strange?" asked Huamei.
"You can say that." Wu Rong thought for a moment and continued, "The murderer has a strong sense of crime. Such a person would not be satisfied with just one or two crimes. However, there was a year between the two cases, which gave him enough time to think and review. But did you notice that the murderer still left a lot of clues when he committed the crime this time? This is unreasonable."
"Go on." Huamei nodded.
The facts of the case are indeed the same as Wu Rong said. First of all, it is very incomprehensible that the other party chose to dump the body instead of burying it. Moreover, when the first deceased was found at home, the scene was very messy and had not been dealt with at all. This is totally inconsistent with the mentality of a murderer who committed crimes twice in a row.
"Another point is that the murderer has a certain understanding of the task force. When he left the scene, he did not forget to give Wang Zheng a psychological hint, and he also led the matter to me..." Wu Rong touched his chin and suddenly laughed: "There is another meaning here, which is a warning to me."
"So what do you mean?" Huamei asked in confusion: "You said the murderer has psychological problems, and you also said he left you a warning?"
"This..." Wu Rong hesitated for a while, then smiled and said, "You can want to know the real meaning, but you have to tell me first, Wang Zheng's judgment on the case."
After hearing the other party's request, Huamei hesitated for a while before telling everything she knew. Wu Rong, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly turned serious with a smile on his face.
"Corpse oil doll..." Wu Rong fell into deep thought, and after a long while he spoke: "It seems that he has already thought of what I thought of, so this time it's a draw."
"Draw?" A puzzled expression appeared on Huamei's face.
Wu Rong nodded, then changed into a relaxed posture, leaning back on the sofa, without saying a word.
"Since you don't want to talk, forget it." Huamei stood up, and before leaving, she suddenly turned around and said, "But you are wrong about one thing. The two of you are not evenly matched. You collected clues from Wang Zheng, but you didn't make any effective inferences. Another thing is that Wang Zheng has us!"
"No thanks." Wu Rong didn't even look at Huamei. After Huamei left, he smiled and said again, "Interesting, this kid was able to deduce the corpse oil doll. That narrows the scope a lot."
…
"Brother Wang Zheng, we have a clue!" Bai Ling, who was sitting in front of the computer, suddenly stood up and said, "I just received an email from the technical team. We have roughly figured out the identity of the deceased woman. I'll print out the information now for you to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng quickly walked to the printer and waited for a few seconds before holding several A4 papers with densely printed information in his hands. As he read the words on them, his expression showed a little surprise, but he still gritted his teeth and continued reading.
"The technical team used the facial reconstruction of the deceased and searched in the avatar libraries of some apps. They quickly found the payment software and several social software that she had linked to." Bai Ling blushed slightly and said shyly, "Well... According to the cloud records on the software, the pages you are reading now are all some chat messages she kept."
"This information is of no use to the case." Wang Zheng put the first few pages aside and rubbed his face. "Did you notice anything about the information on the payment software?"
"Yes." Bai Ling nodded and said, "Since the current payment software is integrated with storage, all income and expenditure are detailed. I just checked and found that most of the deceased's money was spent on online shopping for cosmetics, and the income in her account was basically deposited into her software by Longfa."
"The deceased woman was probably kept by Longfa." Wang Zheng sighed.
"I think it's almost like that, but some of the accounts are a bit strange. They were transferred from a corporate account called some fund." Bai Ling asked in confusion.
"Hongyun Pension Fund?" Wang Zheng looked at the company name on the paper and his expression suddenly became suspicious.
Logically speaking, the deceased woman was being kept by someone, so she basically had no connection with these companies. Even if her family was wealthy and wanted to make some investments, most young people would choose industries such as finance or e-commerce, and rarely pay attention to pensions.
"I'm back." At this moment, Gao Feng walked back dejectedly and said helplessly, "I checked several entertainment venues based on the photos, but their staff said that Long Fa is a VIP and basically has a dedicated channel to the club. He always goes to the high-end boxes, and no conflicts have been found in recent months."
"It is true." Wang Zheng did not seem surprised by Gao Feng's answer. He nodded, his eyes still on the paper in his hand.
"You knew the result long ago, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Gao Feng looked at Wang Zheng's expression with a little displeasure on his face.
"You left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to tell you." Wang Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He paused and continued, "But this is a good thing. If we have confirmed that Long Fa didn't have any disputes with the people in society, the case is now clear."
"Got a clue ?" Gao Feng asked unexpectedly.
"Hongyun Pension Fund." Wang Zheng handed the information in his hand to Gao Feng and said, "This fund made two payments to the deceased before he was alive."
"My goodness, that's a lot of money. I worked hard for two years to earn that much money." Gao Feng looked at the information and made a "tsk tsk" sound. He was really shocked. Each of the two amounts was about 100,000.
"Let's go." Wang Zheng patted Gao Feng's shoulder, "It's time for us to take action."
"Ah?" Gao Feng asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"
"O City." Wang Zheng said with a smile: "As long as we figure out the matter of these two payments, this case will be over."
