Chapter 320 White Helmet and Silver Armor Yuan Pingyi

Chapter 319 The possibility of characteristic serial murder

On the afternoon of the third day after the incident, Zhuo Yun and He Shixin returned to the Municipal Bureau and reported the results of the targeted investigation.

First, He Shixin's screening of mental patients in the hospital showed that most of them were female, and no male with the same height was found. He was preparing to continue to expand the scope.

Secondly, Zhang Su's interpersonal relationships.

Colleagues in the company said that Zhang Su, like most programmers, has a relatively introverted personality. He doesn't like to talk and will not offend people. He has a pleasing personality.

People with a pleasing personality are generally socially anxious and expect to please others to get more attention.

No one who has a grudge against him was found.

In addition to colleagues in the company, Zhang Su's most important interpersonal relationship is that he has a girlfriend.

Zhuo Yun has already talked to the other party. The two met in a company cooperation. Zhang Su is responsible for the software BUG repair, and the girl is responsible for the software testing after the repair.

Development, implementation, and testing are three different professions in software companies, and most testers are female.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Su and his girlfriend broke up a few days ago.

"Break up?"

After receiving this information, Chen Yi was thoughtful.

Another common point came. Li Yao also experienced a breakup, but it was unknown whether it was related to this case.

In the case handling hall, Zhuo Yun continued: "Captain Chen, Zhang Su was laid off."

"Oh? Layoff?" Chen Yi thought of Zhang Su drinking alone, "Is this the reason why his girlfriend broke up with him?"

Zhuo Yun replied: "Not only that, Zhang Su has online gambling. His salary is actually not low, 18,000 a month, but because he lost too much money in gambling, he applied for multiple credit cards because his income was not enough to cover his expenses."

"For a long time, Zhang Su used the different repayment dates of each credit card to repay each other, reaching a relatively balanced state. After being laid off, he lost his most important source of income. All his credit cards suffered a chain reaction and collapsed completely."

Chen Yi: "Did his girlfriend say all this?"

Zhuo Yun nodded: "Yes, it was because of this that his girlfriend chose to break up with him."

Computer software is a high-paying profession. It has been leading the salary list of various professions for many years. It is not difficult for people with good skills to reach a monthly level of 20,000 in big cities regardless of age. Some talented players can even earn millions of dollars a year.

The disadvantage of high salary is the high layoff rate. Many companies are unwilling to hire programmers when they reach the age of 35, because many fresh graduates can do the work you can do, and the salary is low, so why not hire fresh graduates?

Programmers do have high salaries, but their career lifespan is very low, with an average of only fourteen years.

Within fourteen years, you should try to transform yourself, from a programmer to a project manager or a higher-level software architect, otherwise there is only one outcome: layoffs.

It seems that Zhang Su, 32 years old, has been regarded as worthless by the company.

Thinking about gambling all day, your technical level will naturally not be that strong. Programmers are a job that requires continuous learning.

After a little thought, Chen Yi asked, "Is there any contact with Li Yao?"

Zhuo Yun: "No, I asked Sister Jiang to check the phone, and asked everyone who knew Zhang Su, but I didn't get the name Li Yao."

Chen Yi: "Where is Zhang Su's home?"

Zhuo Yun: "I've been there. He rented a two-bedroom, one-living-room house and lived with his ex-girlfriend. There is no suspicious discovery for the time being. I brought his computer back."

Chen Yi: "Have you visited the community in full?"

Zhuo Yun: "Not yet, should I take someone there now?"

Chen Yi looked at the time and said, "Let's go together, let's go out for dinner first, and then we'll go directly to Zhang Su's community."

Zhuo Yun: "Okay."

Chen Yi looked at He Shixin: "Old He, keep looking, and check Zhang Su's computer by the way. A programmer's computer should be very valuable to us, I think."

The thing that programmers eat is the computer, and for them, the computer is everything.

He Shixin nodded to show that he understood.

At lunchtime, Chen Yi and his team drove to the Zhang Su community and found a noodle restaurant to eat and chat. In addition to Zhuo Yun and Qin Fei, there were six people from the investigation team.

"The Tears of the Virgin Mary?" Zhuo Yun was a little surprised after learning the alias of the poison. "Why does it sound so meaningful? Is it related to the teardrop-shaped pendant left at the scene?"

Chen Yi: "I don't know yet. Shu Yu has compared it. It is lily of the valley. It is not a coincidence to choose this rare and unpopular plant alkaloid to kill people."

Zhuo Yun: "What do you mean?"

Chen Yi ate noodles and said: "The murderer may have taken a fancy to the alias of the Tears of the Virgin Mary. It can be said to be... a sense of ritual, but it may not be related to the motive."

Zhuo Yun said, "Oh, I don't understand, and continued to eat noodles."

Chen Yi's way of investigating cases is to make bold analysis based on clues, not afraid of making mistakes, and will not affect the normal investigation process. He has long been accustomed to it.

At first, I wanted to get to the bottom of it, but later I felt that my brain was too tired and simply ignored it. I just did what the captain said.

"By the way, did Zhang Su's girlfriend tell him that he had suicidal behavior or signs of suicide?" Chen Yi asked about this.

Zhuo Yun swallowed the food in his mouth and answered: "No, I asked her if Zhang Su had any abnormalities recently. She didn't mention suicide, but only talked about layoffs and gambling."

Chen Yi nodded slightly and continued to eat without talking any more.

After eating, Chen Yi paid the bill and everyone entered the community.

The community is a garden community with a large area and more than 20 buildings. The building number of Zhang Su is No. 16, which is close to the activity square. There are already many people walking in the activity square.

There were mostly elderly people, and most of them had their grandchildren or granddaughters with them.

"You go to Building 16 and ask, I'll take a look around here." Chen Yi said.

"Yes, Captain Chen."

After everyone left, Chen Yi came to the event square alone and found a small group chatting.

"We are chatting? Have you eaten?" Chen Yi asked with a smile and sat down.

Several aunts turned their heads.

Young people in the community rarely come to this place, at most they pass by.

Who is this?

The aunts looked at each other in confusion and came up to say hello even though they didn't know each other. They were really familiar with each other.

Chen Yi got straight to the point: "Auntie, police, you have nothing to do. Let's talk about it?"

"police?"

Auntie was confused, what happened?

I haven't heard of it. The community is very peaceful.

"What's the matter, young man?"

Although he was confused, he didn't want to lose face. As the other party said, it was idle and it was good to listen to new things. It was difficult to see the police in ordinary times.

Chen Yi: "Do you know Zhang Su?"

Several people shook their heads at the same time: "I don't know."

Nowadays, it’s normal for people who don’t know the names of the commercial complexes across the street from each other.

Chen Yi took out his mobile phone and looked up Zhang Su's photo: "That's the person."

The aunts became interested and came over to take a look. Finally, someone said, "Huh? I've seen it before. Do you remember? A few days ago, a man and a woman were arguing outside Building No. 16."

After being reminded, others had an impression.

"Oh, yes, there is such a thing, it's him."

"I also remembered that it was him."

Chen Yi put away his phone and asked, "What's the reason for the noise? Did you hear the process?"

Auntie: "How could you not hear that? It was so lively. At that time, everyone who passed by stood there and watched. They must be a couple. They were so anxious that they didn't care that more and more people were watching. Good guy, I almost didn't fight. stand up."

Chen Yi: "What are you arguing about?"

Auntie: "It seems like a breakup, right? What do you think? I remember correctly, right? It's a breakup?"

Another aunt said: "It's a breakup. The man still gambles, and the woman scolds her so much that she even loses her job."

Others were also talking about it, reminiscing about it and talking about it. It was not a big deal at all to watch the excitement.

Chen Yi listened quietly and basically understood the whole process.

That time should be the scene when Zhang Su broke up with his girlfriend, which was completely consistent with Zhuo Yun's inquiry.

"Who do you think won in the end? Of course the woman won. The man began to surrender and apologize. It was so humble. The plot was more exciting than the TV series, but it was of no use."

Another person said: "What's the use of this? If you lose your job due to gambling, what girl wouldn't be angry? Just break up! The man even said the word "death" and the girl didn't look back."

Hearing this, Chen Yi asked: "The word death? How did you say it?"

The other party said: "That's what...I lost my job, I lost everything, and now you are the only one left. I love you very much. How can I live without you disappearing from my life? I might as well die." , If you leave, I will die for you, that’s about it.”

Chen Yi: "Then what?"

…

"Then the girl walked away faster and faster without paying any attention to him."

…

"No, she also said you should die immediately."

…

"Ah? Did you say that? I forgot."

…

"I said it, and I heard it too. I've lost my mind. How can I talk nonsense about death? It's so unlucky."

…

Chen Yi: "What day did this happen?"

Aunt: "The day before yesterday, right? Or the day before yesterday?"

With the joint recollections of several people, the day before yesterday was finally determined.

The day before yesterday?

Chen Yi recalled the entire incident. After Zhang Su broke up with his girlfriend and quarreled, he went to Shunnan Street to eat barbecue and drink alcohol, and was killed by the murderer while peeing.

Coincidence?

Both deceased persons broke up, one attempted suicide, the other expressed suicidal tendencies, and both were eventually murdered.

At present, no connection between the two people has been found, and there is no suspect. For now, it is assumed that there is no connection, and the murderer and the two people do not know each other at all.

So, this is a serial murder case of social revenge.

Why did he kill people?

Specializing in killing people who just broke up with? Or do you specialize in killing people who want to commit suicide?

Based on this idea, a very important question arises.

There were many people watching when Li Yao tried to jump off the building, and he was photographed and videoed. It is possible that it was circulated on the Internet. It is reasonable that the murderer targeted Li Yao through Internet information, but what about Zhang Su?

Zhang Su went out for a drink that night. The source of the murderer's information couldn't have been so quick, right?

Unless Zhang Su and his girlfriend had just finished arguing, he would have known about it and immediately started preparing to kill.

Did someone take a video and send it to a group, and did the murderer happen to be in the group?

There is another possibility.

Chen Yi stood up and scanned the entire community, focusing on the surveillance cameras.

What if the murderer was watching? Then he is from this community.

Could it be such a coincidence?

At present, this is just a hypothesis. The probability of characteristic serial killings is extremely low, but there is nothing to gain in the other direction. You can check it out before talking about it.

"Thank you very much. Let's chat and let's go." Chen Yi said goodbye.

Aunt: "It's okay. Come here often."

This sentence is just a courtesy, but it is not suitable for the current situation. If the police often come to this community, it will be troublesome.
