Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

The community where the Cai family lives is located in the city center. Three generations are locals, born and raised, and the whole family is employed except for college students. They are a family that seeks stability very much.

Although you may not be rich and powerful in this life, you can ensure that you have enough food and clothing, and your harvest will be guaranteed despite droughts and floods.

Cai Wenwen's death broke the Cai family's existing happiness. This thorn can never be pulled out. Even if the police catch the murderer and sentence them to death in the future, it will only comfort them and cannot make up for the pain in their hearts. .

Along the way, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point, and Chen Yi did not say any words of comfort. The words "sympathy and condolences" were mostly polite and would not have any effect on the families of the victims.

They need silence and psychological defense mechanisms to slowly accept it.

Life, after all, must go on.

Arriving at Cai's house, Cai's father opened the door of one of the bedrooms. The familiar room and smell made Cai's father burst into tears instantly, and he hid his face and left quickly.

Cai's mother was already lying on the bed, her eyes dull, and Cai Yupeng was taking care of her.

No one has any more control over the police from the criminal investigation detachment.

Chen Yi waved, and the technical detective put on gloves and shoe covers and entered Cai Wenwen's room, searching carefully.

This is a single girl's boudoir, like a small world isolated from the world, with a unique scent of perfume in the air, refreshing.

Chen Yi walked at the end, put on his gloves slowly, and turned to look at several oil paintings on the wall.

The oil paintings have rich colors and smooth lines. Some describe country houses, and some show vast grasslands. Each painting tells a story, which makes people immersed in it.

I took a closer look and saw that it was signed Wen in the lower right corner.

This is painted by Cai Wenwen.

Chen Yi doesn't know much about oil painting, but he still has some appreciation for it. Cai Wenwen's painting level is obviously not low, but she doesn't know whether she has reached an amateur level or a professional level.

In the corner of the room, there is a retro-style wooden easel, covered with a clean white canvas, waiting for the painter's next creation.

Unfortunately, its owner will not pick up the pen next time.

Next to the easel is a large desk, on which brushes, paints and various painting tools are arranged. Everything is well organized, which not only shows Cai Wenwen's love and concentration on painting, but also reflects Cai Wenwen's rigorous and meticulous character.

Chen Yi stepped forward and picked up an oil painting scraper. As Geng Jianqing said, the oil painting scraper was very similar to the murder weapon in this case. The difference was that the oil painting scraper had rounded edges. No matter how hard it was, it could not cause puncture wounds, let alone a stab wound. The blow kills.

He gently broke it off. The scraper was easily twisted and had a certain softness.

It's soft, and it's even less likely to be a murder tool.

The murder weapon would definitely not be an oil painting scraper, unless the murderer customized it, used high-hardness materials, sharpened the scraper, and sharpened the rounded top.

Putting down the oil painting scraper, Chen Yi looked at the entire room. The colors were mainly light colors, and soft lights covered every corner, making it warm and peaceful.

When he came to the window, he looked down at the green plants in front of him. The green plants were full of green, adding vitality to the room.

This is a girl who loves life.

Chen Yi, who was calm on the surface, was beginning to feel angry in his heart at this moment. There was a flourishing college student in Imperial City, a hard-working stay-at-home mother in Ningcheng, and a single girl who loved life in Yangcheng.

He couldn't figure out why the three people died tragically one after another. Because he couldn't figure out, the anger towards the murderer rushed towards him, gradually overwhelming him.

No matter how long it takes, this case must be solved. He really wants to see what kind of shit the person hiding behind is.

"Team Chen."

The police officer handed over a small pad of notes.

Chen Yi took it and took a look. This was Cai Wenwen's itinerary. She had the habit of taking notes.

Oil painting art gallery.

Company team building.

Shui Yu Gallery.

Dinner outdoors.

Charity exhibition.

Qiu Wenshu's oil painting studio.

…

Chen Yi looked through it, and most of them were related to oil paintings. His eyes finally settled on the name Qiu Wenshu. People who share a common language should have a good relationship.

"Most of Cai Wenwen's world is filled with oil paintings. If for some reason she is killed, then..."

Chen Yi had already begun to outline the suspect's portrait in his mind, and now labeled it [painting].

With the same hobbies and common language, the vigilance will definitely be lowered. Coupled with the smooth tongue, it is not impossible to fool Cai Wenwen into taking the initiative to open a room.

Moreover, opening a house is not necessarily a matter of men and women.

"They all took the initiative to open a room. As an adult, Cai Wenwen would inevitably think that way. It was basically acquiescence. However, the murderer actually had no interest in a single girl with good looks. If the Ningcheng case had not obtained the footprints of the suspected murderer, it would have been really It doesn’t have to be a man.”

"Hmm... It must be a boy. It's weird for two girls to have a room together."

"He came specifically for his life. Why? What does he want?"

"Release of emotions? Emotions transformed into violence? Psychological satisfaction?"

Now is not the time to analyze the murderer's motives. More clues are needed.

The investigation of Cai Wenwen's room lasted for more than an hour. No items belonging to men were found, and no gifts from the opposite sex were found.

Before leaving, Chen Yi stood in front of Cai Wenwen's bookcase for a long time, focusing on magazines about oil painting, including "Chinese Oil Painting", "Art World" and so on.

The traces of reading "Art World" are very obvious, Cai Wenwen should read it often.

Chen Yi picked up "Art World".

This is a journal sponsored by the Shanghai City Literature and Art Publishing Group. It was founded in 1979. It has rich content and is not limited to oil paintings.

There are about ten books in the bookcase.

Chen Yi noticed that the date of "Art World" was from last year, so he continued to search, and found the year before last, and the year before that...but there was no one from this year.

"Huh? Didn't you buy it?"

Chen Yi would not let go of any doubts. He took out his mobile phone to search and found that "Art World" had been suspended for a year and no new periodicals had been issued within a year.

"Take all these books back."

"Yes, Captain Chen."

After obtaining the consent of Cai Wenwen's father, the police officers left Cai's house with a large stack of books. There was still something gained. At least they learned about Cai Wenwen's main itinerary in the recent period.

Cai Wenwen took the initiative to open the room and stayed out all night for the first time, so the murderer must have met Cai Wenwen on some occasion and won her favor.

The two knew each other.

Back at the city bureau, the results of the surveillance investigation came out. Nothing was found in the elevator surveillance in Cuiping Garden.

The murderer did not arrive at the crime scene by elevator.

It didn't take much effort to climb up to the twelfth floor. Under the new instructions, Lu Yongqiang went to Cuiping Garden for the second time to try to find the footprints left by the stairs.

No suspicious figure has been found in the surrounding surveillance. The investigation is still in progress. The identity of the strange man needs to be confirmed, and the scope is gradually expanding.

In the early morning, Fang Shuyu came to the detachment leader's office and placed the autopsy report in front of Chen Yi.

"There were no signs of sexual assault and there were no other wounds other than a stab wound to the neck."

"Triazolam was detected in the deceased's stomach."

Fang Shuyu gave a brief summary and focused on the key points.

"Triazolam?" Chen Yi opened the autopsy report.

Triazolam is a sedative drug mainly used to treat insomnia and has sedative and hypnotic effects.

"Shu Yu, go back and rest quickly. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Fang Shuyu poured a glass of water for Chen Yi and put it in front of him, and asked with concern: "Are you going to stay up all night again?"

Chen Yi sighed: "I can't sleep. The murderer destroyed three families. Zhou Yumeng hugged his mother's tombstone and cried at night. Can this scene be forgotten? This piece of shit must be caught."

Fang Shuyu: "You can maintain a clear mind only if you have a good rest. Let's go back and take a nap before checking."

Chen Yi shook his head: "No, the provincial department has just sent over the files on the Imperial City case. I want to go through them immediately and see what I can gain. If there are any major clues, it would be bad to waste time."

Fang Shuyu knew that it was impossible to persuade Chen Yi to leave, so he could only ask him to take a nap after reading the dossier.

Chen Yi agreed, and after Fang Shuyu left, he continued to look through the documents on the desktop.

Xia Qingwen, a relatively neutral name, 21 years old, a native of Imperial City, a student of Imperial City Normal University, majoring in fine arts.

Four years ago, Xia Qingwen's body was found in a cemetery in the Imperial City, and he died in front of his younger brother's tombstone.

The Xia family only has one son and one daughter. The death of their son caused them to be devastated. Now that their daughter was killed, the two of them collapsed on the spot. They were so sad that they went directly to the hospital.

The scene of the crime was shocking. Xia Qingwen's throat was pierced, and a large amount of blood flowed out of the artery, staining his clothes and the ground red.

After on-site investigation and a comprehensive autopsy, it was determined that Xia Qingwen was killed while he was conscious, with no drug ingredients in his body and no defensive wounds on his body.

Attack and kill.

It was judged that the murderer suddenly attacked, leaving Xia Qingwen without any defense, and eventually died of excessive blood loss.

There were still dried tears on Xia Qingwen's face. He must have cried in front of his brother's grave. His expression in the state of death was a mixture of sadness and fear.

Right in front of Xia Qingwen's body, the photo of his younger brother with a smile on his face still hung there.

He just "watched" his sister being killed, watched his sister bleed out of blood and die, but couldn't do anything. It was simply a human tragedy.

If there is a ghost in the world, the murderer will definitely be torn to pieces by Xia Qingwen's brother the moment he attacks.

"What the hell."

Seeing this, Chen Yi frowned and couldn't help but curse. He took the cigarette case, took out the cigarette from it, lit it, and continued reading.

The investigation of the murder began immediately. The technical detectives launched a blanket search around the scene. All nearby surveillance cameras were checked frame by frame. Many days passed without any results.

Xia Qingwen's interpersonal relationships were thoroughly investigated. She had a boyfriend in college. The boyfriend was interrogated many times. None of the people who interacted with the two sides were spared, and still nothing was gained.

This girl is an ordinary college student in Imperial City. She lives a simple life and has no enemies. Except for the sudden death of her younger brother, nothing has happened in her life since childhood.

This case puzzled Geng Jianqing from the Imperial City Bureau and the Police Department. He did not seek money or sex, and launched a sudden attack. He had no idea what the murderer was thinking.

After reading the detailed dossier, Chen Yi stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. If it were him, the possibility of being able to solve the case at that time was not very high.

The cigarettes flowed seamlessly, and Chen Yi lit another one.

"Xia Qingwen from Imperial City was attacked and killed, Bi Xuelan from Ningcheng was kidnapped, and Cai Wenwen from Yangcheng was arranged to rent a house in the community..."

Apart from the same modus operandi, there is nothing in common and no other connection.

The mystery of the murderer's motives was beyond Chen Yi's imagination. Even if he had two lifetimes of experience in solving crimes, he still couldn't figure out why the murderer did what he did.

"painting."

"Xia Qingwen is just an art major. She understands art just like someone who is a computer student understands computers. Painting is of little significance to her."

"Cai Wenwen is different. Cai Wenwen really likes painting and is eager to make it a career."

"Bi Xuelan... Bi Xuelan doesn't know how to paint, but her daughter learns to paint.

"Is the motive for the crime really related to the painting? Is it too far-fetched to connect it?"

Chen Yi cannot take painting as the main direction of inference, because once it is far-fetched, there will be many common points and the error rate will be high.

"Even if the motive has nothing to do with painting, the intersection may be related to painting?"

This is quite reliable, and Chen Yi noted this possibility.

"As for the place where the crime was committed... maybe it was an invention. Xia Qingwen is a college student. It is difficult to find opportunities to do something. His younger brother's grave is the only safe place. Cai Wenwen is introverted and has a strict tutor. She is a good girl. If you want to do something, you must make an appointment with her. come out."

"Bi Xuelan is a stay-at-home mother, and her daily life is very simple. It is difficult to get an appointment, and the only way is through kidnapping."

"with a clear purpose?"

"What characteristic of these three female victims attracted the murderer? If it wasn't money or sex, what else could it be?"

Chen Yi felt a headache.

Xia Qingwen.

Bi Xuelan.

Cai Wenwen.

There's nothing special about the name. It can't be just because it has three characters, right? Too pulled.

He turned on his computer and tried to search for the names of three people, trying to connect them, but found that it was useless.

"What about the interactions on the Internet?"

Chen Yi thought of this possibility. In the modern information age, it is normal for people from all over the world to be in contact with each other.

Three cases flashed through his mind, and he tried hard to find suspicious clues. Unconsciously, he became sleepy and fell down on his desk.

At dawn, Fang Shuyu, who came to the city bureau, immediately pushed away Chen Yi's office and felt very distressed when he saw him lying on the table tiredly.

She didn't wake up Chen Yi and went out to pack breakfast.

At the same time, Qin He from Imperial City and Xie Yunzhi from Ningcheng received a call from Geng Jianqing, ordering them to rush to the Yangcheng Provincial Department immediately with the main participants in the case, and the 405 task force was about to be established.

Geng Jianqing and Fang Songping communicated. The task force will be led by Qin He, the captain of the Imperial City Criminal Investigation Corps. The investigation will be carried out within a three-month period. If the case is not solved after the expiration date, it will be disbanded on the spot. However, the case will continue to be investigated and will be handled by various parties. The cities each take responsibility until the murderer is caught.

In three months, the three cities will conduct a joint investigation, regardless of the results, and will only do their best. Geng Jianqing will also stay in the task force as a criminal investigation consultant.

New cases represent new clues, and the investigation begins in Yangcheng.

After receiving the call, Qin He and Xie Yunzhi were shocked. They did not expect that the backlog of cases would suddenly turn into a series of cases. Without any hesitation, the two immediately arranged the work of the team and rushed to Yangcheng with their people.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Yi was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. He sat up suddenly and picked up the phone and found that it was Geng Jianqing.

"Hello? Uncle Geng."

Geng Jianqing: "You just woke up when you heard the sound?"

The voice of someone who has just woken up is very special. No matter how hard you try to hide it, it is difficult to fool it.

Chen Yi: "Well, I just woke up. I slept in the city bureau last night and read the Imperial City files."

Geng Jianqing: "Thank you for your hard work. Let's have a meal and feel refreshed. We will arrive at the provincial office before eleven o'clock. Qinhe and Xie Yunzhi are already on the way. The case meeting will be held."

Chen Yi: "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, he saw the breakfast on the table and knew that it should be delivered by Fang Shuyu.

After eating something casually, he called for Shi Xin.

"Old He, I will go to the provincial department in a moment to set up a task force. I will leave the rest of the team's work to you first."

It is impossible for the detachment to keep an eye on the current case. It is normal for multiple cases to be carried out at the same time. For a three-month special investigation, someone in the team needs to be in charge. When will he become the deputy detachment leader, he will probably not join the task force. At most, he will not join the task force. I turn to him when I need help.

He Xin agreed: "Okay, don't worry."
