Chapter 251: There Is No Better Place to Escape than Prison
After being released from prison.
He is unkempt and poorly dressed, still living in the old house, and even goes to worship at the grave in front of his wife every month.
These seemingly affectionate expressions are actually the appearances deliberately disguised by the ghost.
It's obvious.
Either the ghost is afraid that the past will be dug up and liquidated, and he wants to maintain the look of regret that he has made a mistake.
Or... the ghost needs to use this method to create the best special criminal identity for himself, so as to avoid the police's pursuit.
after all.
This middle-aged uncle, who looks extremely decadent and deeply misses his late wife, is basically not active in society anymore. It is indeed difficult for people to think of him as the murderer of the case.
It can be said that if Su Ming hadn't keenly discovered the problem of repairing the leak in the van, and combined with the prison time of Duyan and Long Ge, he would have grasped this detail and conducted in-depth investigation.
By combining seemingly unrelated clues, the ghost's true identity may never be discovered.
...
now.
Looking at the surveillance photo on the projection screen, Su Ming narrowed his eyes and signaled slowly.
"Almost half a year has passed since Lan Caier was killed."
"Judging from the timing of the previous changes in membership of this drug trafficking organization, it has only been half a year, and it is very likely that there has not been time to change."
"Not to mention, the killing of Lan Cai'er was an unexpected situation, so naturally there is no previous foreshadowing."
"So the ghost has not changed his identity for the time being, and still uses the previous identity of Liu Su. It is considered a high probability."
"Furthermore, judging from the overall case excavations in the past six months, Ghost, who has the foundation of a magician, is indeed very good at hinting and manipulating people's hearts."
"Magic is to use various techniques, props, psychological suggestions and other techniques to hide from the audience's sight."
"Then with these special skills, the ghost is completely able to do what the butcher said, amplifying the fear in the prey's heart until it actively stretches out its neck."
"Finally, it can be clearly seen from the previous manslaughter case that Ghost indeed has the caution and patience of a magician. He did not choose to act rashly, but waited until the time he thought was most appropriate."
"Just like in the case of the female corpse in the hotel...Although I controlled Lan Caier early and covered her mouth, I waited until nine days later for the best opportunity to remove all traces of myself. All the time was wiped out before the butcher knife was cut."
"This extreme patience obviously further proves that the murderer of the two cases is most likely the same person."
"Because after removing those side effects, the overall core and modus operandi are not much different, so we boldly locked the target."
Speaking of which.
Su Ming paused for two seconds, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he continued slowly.
"Bureau Chen."
"Is there any more detailed information? Or photos or surveillance videos of other ghosts?"
After seeing Su Ming's firm decision that Liu Su was the hidden ghost.
Chen Sheng's mind was agitated again, and his only slight worries and doubts turned into absolute certainty.
He believed that Su Ming, who was able to dig out the murderer of the corpse dismemberment case at Shanghai University twenty years ago and dig out important criminals such as Qiangwei, Poison and Butcher, would definitely not make mistakes in this kind of thing.
Then he immediately clicked the mouse again to bring up several other surveillance pictures and signaled.
"In addition to the surveillance video of the convenience store, there are several photos here, but they are all from the front."
"For example, in this photo, the ghost is eating in a small fry shop. This small fry shop was also the shop where he and his wife used to eat most often."
"Then this one is a photo of the ghost buying bouquets of lilies and lilies at a flower shop. On the first of every month, he will bring the same bouquet to his wife's grave."
"These ghosts found in the surveillance are either going about their daily lives or missing their wives."
See numerous photos on the projection screen.
Xu Changsheng, who was standing nearby, said with a cold and contemptuous expression.
"It seems that in order to maintain his infatuated persona so that he can continue to commit subsequent crimes, the ghost is also working very hard. This kind of patience is not something ordinary people can have."
"To be honest, this kind of behavior that clearly killed his wife with his own hands and deliberately created the illusion of manslaughter to reduce his guilt is already very bad."
"As a result, for some special purpose, he even used this affectionate setting to reduce suspicion and facilitate his subsequent crimes."
"It is very rare to see a criminal with such a gloomy mind and such a cruel mind, let alone one who went to jail for several years just to completely get rid of suspicion."
"The depth of this kind of person's thoughts has reached a level that would frighten ordinary people."
Regarding Xu Changsheng’s statement.
Su Ming nodded in agreement, then narrowed his eyes and pointed.
"Indeed."
"Although there is a saying on the Internet that if a person pretends to be a good person all his life and does good deeds all his life, no matter how ugly he is on the inside, he has become a truly good person."
"But those netizens didn't think of one thing. What they pretend to be is always fake. No one will know what dirty things they have done behind the scenes of the so-called good people on the surface."
"Although we cannot define a person based on just one thing, Ghost's so-called affection is indeed disgusting."
"Then, Ghost's surveillance photos only lasted until five days ago, which basically coincides with the time when we dug out Zhou Shirui, and Ghost's identity can be further confirmed."
"However, what puzzles me now is..."
"Why did Ghost kill his wife? Was there an emotional problem, a property division problem, or was it to cover up something?"
"I want to infer from this point where Ghost might be hiding now,"
Hearing this question.
Chen Sheng shook his head gently and spoke very affirmatively.
"Team Leader Su."
"When we were investigating the details of the case, we were able to basically determine that Ghost and his wife had no emotional problems, nor did they have property division problems."
"Because they were married without a wedding, basically everything was created by their own hands."
"To be honest, it was because of these factors that the comrades in the next district failed to judge that this was a case of intentional homicide."
Speaking of this.
Chen Sheng was stunned, and slapped his thigh.
"Yes."
"If it was intentional murder, what was Ghost's motive for killing his wife?"
"It's impossible that he killed his wife who had been married to him for so many years for no reason? I don't think this kind of extreme morbid psychology can make Ghost so calm."
Regarding Chen Sheng's question.
Su Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, then tapped the table lightly and made a bold inference.
"Director Chen."
"Do you think it is possible that Ghost's wife discovered a secret, or that the secret they both knew was about to be exposed."
"In order to prevent the secret from being further dug out, and to avoid the pursuit of the police or the killer, Ghost specially planned this case of manslaughter?"
"Because I think..."
"There is no better place to hide than prison, right?"
