Chapter 1 Volume 1: Text Messages from the Missing
Since ancient times, the old city of Mobei has been a neighbor and five neighbors are a mile. Since the arrival of Wufuwa, which represents the ocean, forest, flame, earth and sky, Mobei City has become a modern metropolis overnight. With the increasing population of the urban area, more and more buildings with steel and concrete have also bred prosperity for the city, bred hope, and also bred those unknown stories under the glamorous appearance.
Matizi Hutong was built during the previous dynasty years and has undergone a century of changes. In the end, it has stubbornly preserved its original appearance among many high-rise buildings. However, at the end of such an ancient street, there is a highest institution in Mobei City: Mobei University of Political Science and Law.
On campus, the office of the Graduate School of Criminal Investigation.
Murong Shui woke up from her sleep with a tremor, looked around, and swam for a while before she remembered that she fell asleep on the table last night. So she wiped the corner of her mouth, but found that her saliva had been printed on her chin dryly, and muttered in a low voice: "Xu Tiannan, you are so dead guy, you don't care about the papers you brought with you, and you have to ask me as an assistant to help you read... It's better to hand over the salary to me!"
Before the trip was over, the brief knock on the door finally brought her back to reality. It was probably a student who found her. So Murong Shui got up and walked through the snack packaging bags all over the floor, opened the door, and smiled professionally, "Hello classmate, what... Uh?"
Murong Shui shook her head and tried to make herself clear. Then she looked at the other party and found that the visitor was not a student from her college, but a woman in her thirties. Her red eyes were covered with tears. She looked like she had just cried and said in confusion: "Who are you looking for?"
The woman outside the door asked carefully: "Are you... a crime expert?"
Murong Shui almost choked in one breath and explained with a lot of laughter and cry: "Sister, don't make a mistake! We are the Graduate School of Criminal Investigation at the University of Political Science and Law. You can call us 'criminology experts, but we are definitely not 'criminal experts'. Although we are only one word short, we do completely different things!"
The woman realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized. Murong Shui didn't care and asked, "Are you a student's parent?"
The woman shook her head and said, "I am not a parent. I saw news reports about you in the newspaper, so this time I came... to ask you for help."
"Help? You saw us in the newspaper?" Murong Shui was a carefree person. He didn't ask much at this time, but just raised his hand to invite the other party into the office. But who knew that the messy room was full of garbage and paper scraps left over from last night, and there was not even a palm-sized ground. So he stood on tiptoe and kicked out a complete piece of ground, took out a folding stool like magic, put it in front of the woman, and then asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
The woman sat down and looked haggard, her face covered with uncontrollable thoughts and asked, "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing just now, but since you are 'criminology experts', isn't that amazing?"
This disguised way of praise immediately hit Murong Shui's little heart that "will stop swing if he doesn't show off". At this time, she forgot to ask the other party's true intention and said proudly: "Hi! Sister, you are right. Criminal investigation is a very rigorous discipline. Simply put, it is a comprehensive analysis and research of criminals, combining all the traces left at the scene to explore their criminal purposes and laws, so as to achieve the purpose of locking up suspects, solving cases and preventing crimes. This discipline is not only amazing, it is simply amazing! I ask you, three months ago, do you know about the 4?15 serial theft cases? It was published in the newspaper, and it was our helping the police to crack it together."
The woman shook her head.
Murong Shui said again: "Do you know the 'chat room murder' that caused a sensation last year? The murderer looked for targets in the online chat room, and we also captured the murderer based on the hidden rules between the victims."
The woman shook her head again.
"This..." Murong Shui thought for a while and said, "Then Sherlock Holmes, you should know! It is the genius detective who uses the 'deductive method' to deduce criminal behavior. The principle is similar to the method we use now. By analyzing the behavioral activities of the criminal suspect, and at the same time deducing the established development direction of the case based on the other party's psychology, physiology and appearance characteristics."
The woman in front of her became more and more confused as she heard it. Murong Shui felt a deep sense of frustration, so she made up her mind to show her skills in front of the other side and said, "Sister, let's do this. If you don't talk, I can reason about the purpose of your coming here today."
After saying that, Murong Shui looked at the other party carefully and saw that the other party was holding a transparent file bag. There was a ticket issued by the pawn shop, a call record sheet, and a photo bag. At the same time, he found that the other party's simple clothes had been washed and had already turned white. The only jewelry on his body was the gold ring worn by the middle finger of his right hand, and the hair was even more emitting a low-quality second-hand smoke smell.
After a moment of thinking, Murong Shui analyzed: "This sister, does your boyfriend have an affair?"
The woman looked at Murong Shui in disbelief, and was about to say something but listened to the other party's explanation: "Stop! You don't have to be surprised by my reasoning. This is the basic observation that an expert in criminal investigation should have. I found that you had just cried and deduced from the ring on your right middle finger that you are a man with a boyfriend. At the same time, there is a lay-in ticket issued in the transparent folder you are carrying, which shows that your financial situation is relatively difficult and your boyfriend is unwilling to spend money on you. However, in addition to the ticket, there is also a call record sheet and a photo bag in the folder, which is enough to show that you have now obtained evidence of your boyfriend's cheating."
After Murong Shui finished speaking, she looked at the other party proudly. The reasoning that she thought was seamless also made her feel very satisfied. She continued to add: "Then the question is, since you have a boyfriend who doesn't love you, doesn't want to spend money on you and has cheated on you, why do you still wear a ring? The only reasonable explanation is also the real purpose of you coming to me this time! That is, you don't want to break up with your boyfriend, you want us to help you drive away the mistress in a legal way. I'm right? It's a pity that you'd better go to a lawyer or go directly to the court to sue this kind of thing. After all, it's too small... Hey hey? Where are you going, sister?"
Faced with Murong Shui's confusing reasoning, the woman's face in front of her became increasingly ugly. She actually stood up and walked out of the office, and said to herself in annoyance: "Forget it, I'd better leave!"
"Hey hey hey! Why did you leave?"
Murong Shui, who did not feel any praise on the other party at all, felt as if he was disappointed at this moment, so he stepped forward to stop the other party and said, "Sister, don't be embarrassed to be in front of me. No matter what, I am also the assistant of this graduate supervisor.... If it really doesn't work, I will give you psychological counseling? In fact, it's not a big deal for a boyfriend cheating. In this world, it's not easy to find a three-legged toad, but there are men with two legs everywhere!"
After Murong Shui said this, the woman's emotions suddenly collapsed and she squatted on the ground and started crying. It was already time for class. Many students and teachers passing by in the corridor were watching the scene here, which made Murong Shui very embarrassed. She scratched her head and didn't know what she said wrong.
"Murong Shuigen! What the hell are you doing!"
Before the person could arrive, the real owner of this office, Xu Tiannan, the real supervisor of criminal investigation, walked over from the crowd.
Xu Tiannan just arrived at the office building and had a bad premonition when he heard the noisy crowd. Because he knew that his assistant was causing trouble, bragging and messing up things, a series of fields had long exceeded the level that carbon-based biological could achieve. Therefore, this morning, it was almost impossible to think about it. It was almost impossible to separate from her.
Sure enough, when Xu Tiannan saw the woman squatting on the ground and crying, he immediately realized that it must be the cause of Murong Shui. Seeing that the other party wanted to hide, he rushed forward in three or two steps and grabbed the other party's ear and scolded: "Murrong Shuigen, what are you doing!"
More than 20 years ago, Mobei City was still a countryside. One day, the sky was clear and a cry resounded throughout the village, accompanied by a white and fat baby being born.
This little baby is a girl and has a very nice duplicate surname "Murong". According to local customs, the girl needs her parents to name her together. Therefore, when the mother saw this watery child, she immediately gave her the word "Shui". Logically speaking, Murong's duplicate surname plus the middle "Shui" will become a stunning and beautiful name no matter what. However, the farming father hopes that his daughter will not forget her roots in the future, so she named her last word "Ring", meaning that she will not forget her "Ring" no matter where she goes in the future. Therefore, this cute girl was finally named "Murong Shuigen".
At this time, Murong Shui, who was grabbed by his ear, screamed in pain and lost his tone and said loudly: "Ahhhhhh... Boss, I was wrong, oh... let go!"
Xu Tiannan waved his hand and signaled the crowd around him to disperse first, then walked to the woman, squatted down and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, my assistant is not in a position to make you laugh at me."
The woman ignored Xu Tiannan, just wiped away her tears and wanted to leave, and said to herself, "I am so stupid, I shouldn't expect you to help me..."
Seeing that the woman was about to leave, Xu Tiannan suddenly said, "Do you want us to find someone for you?"
The depressed woman stopped hearing this, and she also had a look in her eyes for the first time and said, "You...how did you know?"
Xu Tiannan smiled and replied, "I not only know that you want us to find someone for you, but I also know that you are working two jobs day and night, one is the Internet administrator of an Internet cafe and the other is the Teppanyaki clerk. Just before you came to us, you also went to the pawn shop to cut off the necklace on your neck. As for the reason why you would rather get rid of the necklace than the gold ring on your hand, it is because this ring was not given by your boyfriend, but left to you by a very important person. Are I right?"
Hearing these words, the woman was stunned and asked, "You...how did you know that I have so many things, you know me?"
Xu Tiannan smiled and shook his head, "Of course I don't know them, you told me these things just now."
The woman asked in confusion: "I told you?"
Xu Tiannan nodded, "You didn't tell me directly in words, because human words may deceive people, but the objects, expressions, body movements and behavioral habits on you do not have them. These things have their own language. Once you understand these languages, you can master your personal information. Through this information, you can understand what kind of person you are, and it is also the most direct way for me to understand you."
Looking at the woman in front of him, Murong Shui took the opportunity to step forward and point at Xu Tiannan and explained: "This is my boss, Xu Tiannan, an expert in criminal investigation. My name is Murong Shui, he is his assistant, um...a senior assistant! Now you finally understand what you do, right?"
"Shut up!" Xu Tiannan signaled Murong Shui not to say anything, and then explained: "I just saw you for the first time, and I found a very thick dark calluse under your right palm. This is called a typical 'mouse hand' in medicine, which means that your work is related to computers, and there is a strong tobacco smell on your body, but I also found that there is no smoke spots on the first joint of your teeth and index fingers of both hands, which means that you have no smoking habit. So I guess the environment you work in is
The place where you use your mouse frequently and inhale second-hand smoke for a long time is likely to be an Internet cafe. As for your other job, I found that there are many oil stains on the inner side of your forearm, but there are no burns on the wrist bones and fingertips of your palms, which means that your job requires you to often operate on the hot oil boiled in a glove posture. Then the job that meets this feature is the kitchen of Teppanyaki. How can a person who has two jobs and doesn’t even have a rest time to talk about a boyfriend?”
Xu Tiannan paused, pointed to the other party's neck with a fine black trace and said: "You have worn a gold-plated necklace on your neck for a long time, but now this necklace has become a ticket, right?"
"This...how do you know this?" The woman in front of her suddenly felt that she had no privacy in front of the other side, and her hands were unconsciously pressed on her chest, making unconscious conditioning reactions when she was nervous.
Xu Tiannan said: "The gold content of gold is very low, so the falling substance will oxidize the sweat on your skin, leaving a circle of oxidized black marks on your neck, but this circle of marks is very obvious, which means that you have just taken off the necklace. I asked you suddenly took off the necklace, and there is another ticket in the file bag in your hand. Where do you think the necklace will be at this moment?"
"Ahhh! So that's it!"
Murong Shui, who had been listening carefully, jumped up excitedly and interrupted: "Boss! I understand! The gilded necklace itself cannot be regarded as a good price, so even if she removes the last necklace that is not that valuable, she will have to leave a ring. No wonder you think that ring was left to her by an important person, right?"
Xu Tiannan knocked Murong Shui on the head and patiently explained again: "You have to change this kind of guesswork that the supervisor is conjectured and consider it as much as possible from the actual behavioral appearance. Now you take a look at the ring in her hand."
Murong Shui carefully looked at the ring in the other woman's hand and found that the golden ring was wrapped in a circle of thin yellow lines that were not easy to detect. He suddenly realized: "The size of this ring... is not suitable!"
"That's right." Xu Tiannan nodded and said, "No matter whether it was bought by herself or given by her boyfriend, no one would choose a ring that was inappropriate for finger circumference. Therefore, the only possibility is that this ring was left to her by another important person. Because the size is a bit too large, she would wrap the thin thread on it a few times and then wear it on the thickest middle finger among her fingers."
After all the analysis, Xu Tiannan finally said to the woman in front of him: "You are in a difficult financial situation, and you would rather take away the valuable jewelry on your body than come to us for two reasons. First: Your appeal is illegal, and you dare not go to the police station to file a case, for example, you owe gambling debts for participating in underground gambling. Second: Your appeal is legal, but the police station did not file a case for your appeal. Combined with the call record sheet and photos in your file bag, you are likely to want to find someone. But no matter what the situation is, I know that you are at your end now, otherwise you would not have found us."
The woman also completely believed the person in front of her. She took out the photo bag from the file bag and took out a photo of a young girl and said, "My name is Li Xianglan. Just three days ago, my sister disappeared. It happened to be her birthday... But the police station did not file a case. I... I don't know who to look for, please help me!"
