Chapter 28 What are you remembering?

Chapter 28 What are you remembering?
These three words hit Du Yu's brain hard.

When he confronted Li Dusheng at the old house in Lijiaying, Li Dusheng showed him the same note.

That was a provocation left by the [accomplice] that was left in the takeaway box along with Li Yueyue’s head!

The difference was that the note left for Li Dusheng was crumpled into a ball by him in his rage, while the one in front of him was as new as new.

So Du Yu turned around instantly and met Xu Yiqing's eyes.

"He lived here!"

Xu Yiqing nodded. He was calmer than Du Yu: "But we can't catch him anymore."

The fact that he dared to leave his brother's woolen coat and a note as a provocation meant that he had left a long time ago.

And the [accomplice] was certain that the police would come to check Liu Zhuhua's residence and left such a provocation, which shows that Liu Zhuhua's death was closely related to him!
Du Yu grabbed Xiaolang's shoulders, his expression so serious that no one would doubt his emotions: "Do you have surveillance here?! Has any suspicious man been here?!"

Xiaolang broke free from Du Yu's hands and shook his head: "How could there be surveillance cameras installed? Although I don't come here often, it's impossible for a man to live here."

After a pause, Xiaolang told the rules set by Li Dusheng: "You have to find a place to perform by yourself. You are not allowed to bring guests to the dormitory to stay overnight, and you are not allowed to bring little yellow-haired people back to live with you. If you are found, your legs will be broken. If there are any unfamiliar men coming, the uncle downstairs will call me."

Xu Yiqing looked at the room, which was so tidy and familiar, feeling a little dazed.

The murderer who dismembered his own brother and killed Li Yueyue spent night after night on this bed without even a quilt.

He stood by the window and looked out.

Even across the building is the Old City Primary School, where Li Yueyue used to work.

What is the [accomplice] sleeping here thinking when he looks out the window?
Is he afraid that he will be caught one day?

Do you remember the expression on Li Yueyue’s face before she was stabbed to death by you?
Do you remember the feeling of frustration when the knife cut into your brother's body?

Du Yu called the police from the serious crime squad to conduct a full-scale investigation of the room. This was destined to be another sleepless night for many criminal police.

When leaving the old residential building, Xu Yiqing said to Xiaolang: "You can call Li Dusheng and tell him that the case we are investigating is indeed related to his sister's case."

After returning to the Criminal Police Brigade, the three members of the [Accomplice] task force gathered together to analyze the information about Liu Zhuhua's residence.

Zhou Shi said: "[The accomplice] has absolute confidence in himself. His mentality is the most difficult criminal I have ever seen."

Du Yu asked: "Is it possible that Liu Zhuhua is the [accomplice]?"

Zhou Shi shook his head: "The note shows that the [accomplice] is still alive. Based on his psychological profile, we know that he is meticulous and definitely not an ordinary person. It doesn't match Liu Zhuhua's background and education level."

It is hard to imagine that a prostitute who came from a rural area and dropped out of junior high school has sufficient experience in dismembering corpses, strong psychological qualities, and is very familiar with the police's investigation process and knows how to erase fingerprints and other physical evidence.

Liu Zhuhua obviously does not have the ability to fool the police.

Xu Yiqing didn't say anything, his thoughts were still in Liu Zhuhua's room.

The room felt so familiar to him that it was as if his own brother lived there.

But he knew very well that his brother was dead.

So it feels like...someone is remembering their brother.

Parents whose children have died don't dare to clean their children's rooms, and close friends will keep each other's belongings after they die...

[Accomplice] Missing his younger brother? !
How can this be?

He cut him into more than 2,000 pieces of meat with his own hands! !
Xu Yiqing felt a headache as his mind was a little confused. Suddenly he heard his own name. He looked up abruptly and found that Du Yu and Zhou Shi were looking at him.

"What's wrong? Sorry, I got distracted."

"Do you think what Zhou Shi said makes sense?"

"I didn't hear you. What did you say?"

Zhou Shi repeated his bold guess: "It is known that the boss named Xiaolang is Li Dusheng's subordinate, and Li Dusheng and the [accomplice] are on the opposite side, so there is no reason for Xiaolang to lie to us."

Du Yu nodded in agreement, and Xu Yiqing also came back to his senses from his wild thoughts, "Yes, he has no reason to lie to us." Zhou Shi lifted her big waves and stretched out a finger: "So what Xiaolang said can be regarded as the fact. First of all, Liu Zhuhua is not an [accomplice]."

"Secondly, the [accomplice] had lived in Liu Zhuhua's house for a long time."

"The third point is also very important. The prostitutes' residences are not frequented by men."

Du Yu and Xu Yiqing both thought of a possibility, and Zhou Shi, observing their reactions, smiled with relief.

"You mean... [the accomplice] might be a woman!"

They both said in unison.

Zhou Shi nodded, "It's very likely."

Du Yu and Xu Yiqing recalled their encounters with the [accomplices] since late autumn last year, searching for clues.

After a long while, Du Yu sighed, "So that surveillance video should also be the [accomplice] disguised as a man to confuse our sight."

Zhou Shi said: "It is just a possibility. Without definite evidence, we cannot rule out any direction."

She is a psychological profiler, not a Taoist priest who follows the rules of her words.

Psychological profiling can only be used as an auxiliary means and should never be used to convict a person.

This was the first sentence her teacher said to Zhou Shi in her professional course when she was in college.

On the other hand, after looking at the room, Xu Yiqing had more thoughts in his mind.

Is it really just as simple as a woman disguising herself as a man to confuse the audience?

A phone call interrupted the discussion of the three people.

It was a call from a police officer who was still working overtime. They had found out Liu Zhuhua's insurance situation and interpersonal relationships.

After hanging up the phone, Du Yu said in a serious tone, "We found a huge amount of insurance under Liu Zhuhua's name, with more than a dozen companies involved, and they were all accident and personal safety insurance, which was very purposeful."

"Can I participate in so many insurance plans at the same time?" Zhou Shi asked himself.

Du Yu said: "She was very smart when signing up for insurance. She studied the regulations of almost every insurance company and took advantage of various loopholes."

Such shrewd insurance participation has a strong smell of "accomplice".

After a pause, he continued, "In addition, the police officers who visited Baxia Village told us that Liu Zhuhua does have a son, but the situation is complicated. We will analyze it in detail when we go to Baxia Village tomorrow... In addition, Liu Zhuhua has a grudge against the family of the village chief Li Cheng. It is said that it is a land dispute."

Hatred, lack of money, accident and life insurance...

All these signs indicate that Liu Zhuhua’s death was by no means an accident, and even give people the feeling that she was the culprit!

The three of them were silent, all thinking about something.

After a long while, Du Yu said, "Everything must be based on evidence."

Zhou Shi nodded in agreement: "Although all signs and psychological analysis point to Liu Zhuhua as a major suspect, I agree that we should handle the case with caution and not let emotion dominate reason."

In the public's perception, psychological profilers are very subjective in simulating the psychological activities of criminals through substitution, but in fact they must always ensure that rationality is above all else.

Since the truth behind the death needs to be uncovered, Xu Yiqing has an absolute say in this matter.

He cut open Liu Zhuhua's body with his own hands, so that he could tell the living people what she didn't have time to say.

"The focus of tomorrow's investigation will be Liu Zhuhua's first death scene."

Xu Yiqing is very calm and rational.

"Let's not worry about the relationship between her and the [accomplice] for now. The key is to uncover the truth of the fire and find out how Liu Zhuhua died... I think there will be answers to everything else!"

 Please vote, comment and read on. It is really important for newcomers. I kowtow to you all, bang bang bang.
