On the evening of October 23, the Nancheng Public Security Bureau cracked a particularly large case of child abduction and destroyed a criminal gang.

In this case, 26 people were criminally detained, 53 underage children were successfully rescued, and 18 were homeless and stray children were recovered.

At present, the principal of the case was attacked and killed during the rescue operation that night, and the details of the case are still under further investigation.

The identification of the children involved in the case has been carried out in an orderly manner. The police will publish the relevant information of the abducted children on the online platform, and enter it into the national public security organ’s information system for finding abducted/missing children to help them find their biological parents. Parents, please call the hotline: xxxxxxxx , the children involved in the case who are not claimed within 30 days from now will be properly placed in welfare institutions according to law.

In the morning four days later, the Nancheng Bureau and the task force will hold a progress exchange meeting in the conference room. Ye Zheng began to adjust the equipment, and the whiteboard was placed in front of everyone, ready to sort out the case.

In the past few days, everyone in the task force has been working almost all night, and it is inevitable that they have tired looks on their faces.

After the frost falls, the weather cools down, especially the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, the span is as much as ten degrees.

Lu Siyu wore a trench coat over his shirt, but still felt a little cold, so he kept shrinking his hands into his sleeves.

Song Wen took his own cup to pour water. When passing by Lu Siyu, he calmly took his cup with him, added some hot water, and helped him take it back.

Lu Siyu thanked him, took it from Song Wen, lowered his head and took a sip.

The meeting officially started, and Du Yong reported first. He recently followed up on the progress of the case after that night, and just sorted out all the confessions.

"The current progress of this case is that the identities of 71 children have been confirmed, and all the registration work has been completed. The retrieval work is also proceeding in an orderly manner. At present, there are 19 children who have been confirmed and not involved in the case. After the psychological evaluation, they returned to the family one after another."

"Some of those adults who have been trained have entered the society. At present, the criminal investigation team is digging out their identities based on the confessions provided by the caregivers, and there has been some progress."

"In addition, we have confirmed from confessions that among the caregivers who live with the children, several of them still have the identity of intermediaries, and these are the same people who were in contact with the terminally ill patients."

"It's a pity that those who were caught were obviously at a lower level and were only responsible for specific arrangements. They didn't know much about many handovers and cases that had happened, and they didn't know anything about the identity of the beluga whale. We can only follow up with some of the clues they provide."

Song Wen has recently been helping Lu Siyu find information, and is also paying attention to the end of the case.

He also has a certain understanding of what Du Yong said.

In the vigorous case of Yu Niangniang, the clues were not completely cut off because of Yu Huizhi's death. The city bureau began to follow the clues to inquire about the whereabouts of the children involved in the case.

The vines were pulled out along the way, causing a series of chain reactions, and some unexpected dark lines were discovered. Following the interrogation of the persons involved, the shock spread from the Municipal Bureau to various administrative departments in Nancheng.

Along the various information, the hands, feet, and eyes of the dark forces were cut off one by one and dug out.

The only pity is that because of Yu Huizhi's death, the identity of the beluga whale was cut off. The police had to continue their search in other directions.

After Du Yong summed up the progress of the work here, Song Wen nodded and asked a few more questions about the aftermath of the case, including the public's reaction.

As a side branch of the 519 case, this recent case has basically ended smoothly, and some related follow-up work can also be transferred out, and then the task force can focus on investigating the main case.

After Du Yong, Xu Youyou reported, and she was mainly following up on the death investigation of Yu Huizhi.

"After Yu Huizhi's death, the forensic doctor has carried out an autopsy on her, and it is confirmed that a blade-shaped metal sheet punctured the aorta of the neck, causing massive bleeding in a short period of time, causing the death of the deceased. The murder weapon is suspected to be the blade of a paper cutter. It has been taken away from the scene by the murderer."

"Because of the large number of people at the scene, there were no traces of physical evidence left. I asked some parents who were close to the scene, and no one could see the process of the murderer's hand and his appearance."

Xu Youyou took a few steps forward, took a USB flash drive and connected the projection: "In order to further investigate the real murderer who killed Yu Huizhi that night, I tried my best to restore the situation that night. The number of parents who participated that night was about 500. According to Later statistics estimated that because it was the time period after get off work in the evening, there were many people from many families. These more than 500 people came from more than 200 families who lost their children in Nancheng City. "

"These families have been active in forums about lost children and related super chats all the year round, and there are also some mutual assistance WeChat and online groups between them. That night, some people during the operation forwarded the messages on Weibo and forums to some of their places. In the group, a discussion among the parents was triggered, and then there was a gathering, and some people found Yu Huizhi's personal information and put it in the group."

"Then I suspected that someone bought the hot search, using the method of data on the Navy. I contacted the company where some marketing accounts are located, but the other party said that they only reprinted the content based on social hot spots. They did not violate the law. , and did not acknowledge whether they were employed by people."

"Then I went to collect videos from more than a dozen media that night, shot from different angles, but because it was night, it was very messy and the incident happened suddenly, so only two clips recorded the murderer of Yu Huizhi."

After introducing the situation, Xu Youyou showed it on the big screen, and the image on the screen seemed to bring everyone back to that noisy night.

It can be seen from the picture that there are surging crowds everywhere, and the core is the besieged police car.

The first section was shot from behind the crowd. Between the figures, a man with a hat approached Yu Huizhi and flashed by.

Then Yu Huizhi fell down, and the camera zoomed in to see Yu Huizhi clutching his neck in horror. Obviously, the photographer also found that something was wrong, and then the camera shook, as if to find the man with the hat, but that The man seemed to be short and disappeared in a flash.

"And this part." Xu Youyou played the second part. This part was recorded from the side, and it was a little clearer than the previous one. Even from the gap between the crowd, you could see a white light that looked like a murder weapon. flashed.

The murderer had a sideways movement that made it clear to them that it was a middle-aged man.

Xu Youyou fixed the picture and introduced: "I took a few pictures and asked the technical department to restore them. This is the picture after the restoration."

The picture released on the projection is much clearer than the screenshot in the video just now. It can be seen that it is a quarter of a man's face, showing one eye and a half of his face. It is the face of a killer. His expression was a little grim.

"It can be basically judged from the video evidence that this person killed Yu Huizhi." Xu Youyou turned to ask Song Wen, "Song team, can this be used as an avatar restoration?"

Song Wen squinted slightly, tapped on the table with the pen in his hand, and tried to restore the man's appearance in his mind. It was a little blurry. He hesitated and shook his head: "There is too little information, and there may be a big deviation."

Based on these materials alone, he couldn't make up the features of a man's facial features in his mind. When restoring the avatar, you need to consider the angle, expression, light and other issues. In the absence of witnesses and only blurred images, if the error is too large, it will not only be of no help in solving the case, but may also mislead the police.

Song Wen said it was difficult to restore this avatar, so other people would probably have no way to do it.

Song Wen thought for a while and said, "But if I see this person again, I might be able to recognize him. Didn't the other cameras and surveillance capture him?"

If other cameras can capture it, or if there is a separate perspective and other reference objects, at least the man's height, clothing, facial contours, etc. can be estimated.

Xu Youyou shook her head and said, "I haven't found him in the other cameras, so I don't know where he went."

Lu Siyu said, "I think he may have done a simple cross-dressing."

Taking off his hat and changing his coat, there were so many people that night, it was difficult to pull him out of the crowd with such an easy disguise.

Du Yong asked: "Does this person look like those who attacked the police before?"

Song Wen shook his head, and then analyzed: "This person is obviously different from the person who attacked the previous one. The people who attacked the police before were all brought by Yu Niangniang. Those terminally ill patients were obviously weaker, and the long-term workers who attacked the suicide were relatively weak. Young, this person clearly doesn't fit both of those characteristics."

Lu Siyu was also thinking about this question, he suddenly thought of something, raised his eyes and said, "Maybe he is a more core person."

"This person is quick-witted and has no timidity. He is able to act in the presence of so many people. He grasps the timing without revealing a drop of water, and also uses his body to consciously block the sight of others..." Song Wen said this, and added, "Probably an old hand with multiple lives on his back."

When most people kill for the first time, they will inevitably have some tension, panic, and rapid heartbeat. There is no way to be so calm and calm.

When the discussion about the murderer came to this point, Xu Youyou pulled out the USB flash drive and said, "Then... I've finished introducing it here."

Song Wen nodded and said, "Continue to follow up and see what clues you can find. If you can't dig any further, go back and put it aside for a while. If this person is trying to silence Huizhi, then we can definitely stop. Find him in the direction."

It was Ye Zheng's next turn. He checked the relevant information of Yu Huizhi. This woman lived alone all year round, was not married, and had no children. Her whereabouts were obscure, and there were many properties in the city, which obviously made a lot of money.

Her financial situation is similar to that of Dai Xiaoman, and her obvious expenditure is greater than her fixed and checkable income.

Then he compiled some information about the little angel fund, and projected various investment composition ratio charts on the screen. Ye Zheng started a professional and systematic financial analysis for about three minutes. Finally, he concluded: "This is what I have recently The verification result. The entire foundation has been maintained for about ten years, and the funds received are very complex and large. All the details and records I can find have been printed out. During the current verification, there are some small funds on the fund. However, I noticed that one of the company's shareholders is Gu Zhibai."

Ye Zheng drew a circle on the screen: "And the company's investment is relatively large, accounting for 23.5% of the foundation's total source of donations."

"That is to say, among all the donations received by the Nancheng Wanderer Angel Foundation, Gu Zhibai's company accounts for a high proportion. It is possible that he or someone behind him is supporting the foundation."

"In short, it can be proved that Gu Zhibai may have something to do with Yu Huizhi. Also, I checked the surveillance of the nearby parking lot that night and found something."

Ye Zheng said and called up a few photos, "Gu Zhibai came back from out of town that day, and then at night, his car showed up not far from the city bureau. This person, who knows Bai Luorui, is now with Yu Hui. Zhi has an intersection, I think, should I call him over and ask?"

After Ye Zheng said this, he found that the four people in the conference room were all looking at him.

Xu Youyou started and sighed deeply. She still remembered the last time Team Xu detained Gu Zhibai.

Du Yong also shook his head aside, he was not optimistic, he didn't think Ye Zheng would be able to catch Gu Zhibai.

Lu Siyu even lowered his head in thought.

Everyone else in the office had met Gu Zhibai and knew how difficult this person was. He had many doubts about him, and he probably had some connection with Moby Dick.

But he seemed to have flaws everywhere, but when he answered it, he didn't reveal anything, and he would even turn them around.

"The evidence at hand is still not solid enough. Gu Zhibai's participation in the Little Angel Fund can also be interpreted as a normal charity project, and the car nearby can't explain anything." Song Wen said to Ye Zheng, "You can put He called over to talk to him about the company's capital trends, and asked you all your doubts, but with the evidence at hand, if you want to kill him, you will probably be disappointed."

When they traced Gu Zhibai before, because his company had a foreign capital background, they found that this person was involved with some foreign capital. At that time, their technical investigation power was insufficient. Now that Ye Zheng has joined in, they can trace more much information. But these are still far from enough evidence. Now they can prove that this person is connected with many companies, has a lot of investment, and has a lot of assets. He knows Bai Luorui, maybe he knows Yu Huizhi, and nothing else. Can't prove it.

Lu Siyu said softly: "Let's ask again, it's always not the way, and I also have some questions to ask him." Gu Zhibai couldn't get around this case if he wanted to solve the case. .

Song Wendao: "Then Xu Youyou make a call and invite him over."

The case has been sorted out now, and the next thing is the main event.

Song Wen turned to look at Lu Siyu, "Siyu, tell us about the recent progress on our side."

Since Lu Siyu sorted out the whole case that day, they have been busy with it these days.

Lu Siyu walked to the projection, and gently took out a pair of glasses, which looked like a teacher who had just graduated from a graduate student and was about to teach students.

Lu Siyu put on his glasses, and then he pulled over the whiteboard: "Recently, Team Song and I have sorted out all the time nodes and context of the 519 case. I think we need to find the initial point of the case, which is the evil the origin."

Lu Siyu wrote the words Wushan Nursing Home on the whiteboard in a graceful font, and then drew an arc, "The whole case extends forward and backward, the front end is the Wushan Nursing Home case, and at the back end, everything has been Back to Wushan Nursing Home."

The twisted lines are like a Mobis ring interlaced by time and space.

Lu Siyu continued: "The reason why the front and back ends are the Wushan Nursing Home is that there have been vicious incidents in this place for 18 years, and these two vicious incidents are related to inheritance and iteration. The murderer used the nursing home, and the elderly in it, as the object of experimental killing and abuse."

He paused and said, "And the most crucial person among them is Xia Weiwei."

"Although the 519 case broke out before the nursing home case, according to the investigation of the nursing home case, Xia Weiwei may have begun to experiment and abuse the elderly in the nursing home two years ago."

"We found in Du Ruoxin's testimony and the investigation of this case that Xia Weiwei may not have committed the crime alone. There is a mysterious man by her side. We have not yet been able to know the identity of this man. He is also not resident in a nursing home. It has not yet been fully concluded that this person is a beluga, but there is a high degree of suspicion."

"This means that it is very likely that Beluga had joined in the early days of Xia Weiwei's abuse in the nursing home. That is the earliest case we know that Beluga may be involved in."

"The acquaintance of Beluga and Xia Weiwei was before his cooperation with Long Jinrong."

When Lu Siyu said this, he stopped writing and turned around to look at the crowd. It was the first time he had come to sort out the case in front of so many people.

Seeing that no one answered for a while, Lu Siyu changed to a simpler and more understandable way of saying, "That is to say, except for Long Jinrong, Yu Huizhi, and even Wu Hongyou who once glanced at him, maybe Xia unknown, only He is the one who knows the earliest and longest time beluga whale, and he is also the one who has the most information about him and has the deepest influence on each other."

Except for Song Wen who already knew this, the other three members of the task force were sitting in their seats, feeling like students listening to the teacher's lecture, Xu Youyou digested Lu Siyu's words: "So what do you mean... instead of investigating Fuzzy beluga, why don't you investigate Xia Xia who may have more information?"

Lu Siyu nodded: "Xia Weiwei and Beluga may have known each other a long time ago and intersected. They must have a point of mutual attraction, and they have also had a certain intersection."

Xu Youyou said in surprise: "But Xia Weiwei is already dead."

In her opinion, if Xia unknown is still alive, this is undoubtedly the best investigation direction at present, but Xia unknown is dead, which means that many things have broken clues, and they have no way to find the dead person to ask for a confession. This is also one of the reasons why Xu Changying was hindered when investigating Xia Unknown's death and turned to investigate Wu Hongyou.

"The death of a suspect, in my opinion, is also an advantage in the investigation." Lu Siyu wrote three words Xia unknown on the whiteboard, "Because Xia unknown was missing before, so there were many task forces in that year. The investigation was not in place. Now that Xia Weiwei is dead, the situation is completely different. In the 519 case of that year, the whole situation is almost known, and it is difficult to continue to investigate further. In comparison, Xia Weiwei’s case is verifiable. Higher, and more able to form a complete closed loop.”

Lu Siyu used a pen to draw a square black frame on Xia Weiwei's name: "And I think that Xia Weiwei's death may also have a lot to do with the beluga whale."

Xu Youyou frowned and asked again, "Then...how are you going to check Xia Zhiwei?"

Lu Siyu said: "Recently, Team Song and I have been trying to trace back to Xia Zhizhi."

After hearing his words, not only Xu Youyou was surprised, but Ye Zheng and Du Yong also frowned. It was the first time they heard of this detection method.

Du Yong asked directly: "How can I go back to a person?"

Lu Siyu drew a straight line on the whiteboard, wrote birth and death, and then marked the year below: "Do our best to go back to her life."

This is not only an understanding of Xia Zhiwei, an exploration of her criminal psychology, but a complete restoration. Find those data, insiders, unearth all the truth, and reshape her bones, flesh, and face bit by bit...

Then, from the trajectory of her life, the clues, and everyone who passed by, find the one in ten million...

Find a possible beluga whale, or someone implicated in the case.
