Return to 1983 and be a detective

After Xu Shan finished speaking, there was an uproar below, and everyone was talking about it.

Basically everyone agreed with Xu Shan's opinion and felt that this was probably some kind of ritual.Except for a few people, such as Xing Yusheng, he felt that Xu Shan's words were too broad, and it seemed difficult to directly deny the other three possibilities.

Although he said he had been taught a lesson and was respectful to Xu Shan on the surface, there were still many people who were unconvinced in his heart. They were all young people. How could you become a detective that everyone admired? How could you fool him?

At this time, someone raised his hand. When Xu Shan saw it, it was Wu Jiangnan who had followed him for the interview.

"Reporter Wu, what questions do you have?"

"Officer Xu, as far as I know, in addition to Buddhism and Taoism, there are also foreign religions that are relatively common in the Northeast, but these are unlikely to carry out such rituals. The rest are the religions spread among the people. , such as shamanism, but this kind of ritual is not very popular. At most, it is to offer a guardian angel at home or something like that. So on what basis do you infer that this is a religious ritual? "

Xu Shanxin said that you came here to tear me down, right?

I don't know what I'm basing this on. I base my reasoning on those foreign crime-solving TV dramas.

As a result, you pushed me to the point where I had to explain myself with just one mouthful. It’s really your fault.

But as a magic stick, Xu Shan can't be cowardly.

He chuckled and said: "Actually, the religious ceremony I just mentioned is a bit one-sided. Let me correct it. It is just a ceremony, just like how boys and girls used to pray for rain in the past. It is not necessarily religious. It may be a prayer. Money, or asking for other things..."

Speaking of this, Xu Shan was suddenly stunned.

He himself talked about it and had a flash of inspiration, as if a blind man had discovered a bright spot.

"By the way, the Clivia in Jichun has been very popular recently. I think we can check it out. Is it possible that the ritual I mentioned is related to the popular Clivia? After all, people die for money and birds eat for food. There are many examples of crimes committed for the sake of huge profits."

Xu Shan's statement once again aroused heated discussion among the police.Xing Yusheng raised his hands a little dissatisfied and said, "In that case, it's not a religious ceremony, it's a financial killing."

Well, Xu Shan is also a little speechless. A ritual is a ritual, and it is for money. You can attribute the purpose of this murder to ritual killing, or you can attribute the motive of the murder to seeking money.

At this time, Ren Tiejiao retorted on behalf of Xu Shan: "I don't think so. The motive for murder we are talking about must be a direct motive. What we define as murder for wealth is to kill people for money. To kill these people, hang them." Going to a tall tree, this kind of behavior cannot directly bring wealth, right? So I think Officer Xu is right, this is ritual killing, not killing for money."

Bao Laohei also helped Ren Tiejiao speak: "Comrade Tiejiao is right, I also support the idea of ​​ritual killing, and I just followed Officer Xu's idea of ​​ritual killing and looked at Jichun's map. We Jichun There are four special feng shui positions here, Daheishan, Yitong River, Nanhu, and 99th Mountain. Now our three female corpses were found at the Yitong River, Nanhu, and 99th Mountain. The remaining Daheishan seems to be No female body has been found yet..."

When he said this, everyone else was shocked: "Could it be that there should be a female corpse in this Black Mountain?"

"This is what I speculated. Only in this way is it consistent with the rules, so I think we can allocate some manpower to search for it in Daheishan. If we find it, it will further prove Officer Xu's statement."

Xu Shan didn't expect this either. After hearing what Bao Laohei said, he couldn't help but nodded in approval.

In a daze, he felt the comfort of a child who has grown up.

This time, Xing Yusheng directly objected: "I don't agree. Isn't this feudal superstition? When do we have to talk about feudal superstition when solving crimes? We need to talk about science."

After he finished speaking, he looked around. He originally wanted to find a few people who agreed with him, but he saw that everyone else looked at him as if they were a fool.

He was a little confused, why did they look at him with such caring eyes for mentally retarded children?

In fact, Jichun's comrades admired Xu Shan even more than Bao Laohei and the others. Xing Yusheng's previous critical behavior had already made them feel dissatisfied. Now that he has jumped out to oppose Bao Laohei's suggestion, everyone is even more dissatisfied with him. Not a good impression.

Xing Yusheng was asking for trouble and said angrily: "Am I wrong? How can you use feudal superstition to solve the case? This method of solving the case will be questioned by the people even if the case is solved."

Xu Shan coughed twice, and he couldn't help but want to interrupt Xing Yusheng. He thought to himself, why haven't you learned enough lessons? It seems that a person's nature is easy to change, but his nature is hard to change.

"Comrade Yusheng, don't you think you have made a huge mistake?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"You have made a mistake of dogmatism. Let me ask you, if a criminal kills people in a feudal and superstitious way, can we use a scientific method to understand his motive for killing?"

This time Xing Yusheng was asked.

"This... this..."

"Of course it's impossible. In fact, I support and understand what you said about solving crimes scientifically. But solving crimes scientifically does not mean that we ignore the facts and only shout scientific slogans. We must have a scientific attitude and look at it. At the same time, I have always felt that when we solve a case, we often need to put ourselves into the perspective of a criminal to think about the problem.

Criminals pay attention to feng shui and kill rituals, so we have to think about problems and look for evidence according to his ideas.This kind of attitude is called a scientific attitude, rather than defining here what is science and what is superstition. Those definitions are not helpful at all in solving crimes. "

After Xu Shan finished speaking, everyone applauded.

Xing Yusheng was extremely embarrassed and flushed. Although he was dissatisfied, he also knew that he could no longer refute Xu Shan at this moment. Doing so would only bring hatred to himself.

But he still thought in his mind, just go ahead and check. If you can't find the female body hanging from the tall tree in Daheishan, it'll be up to you how you end up.

At this moment, a police officer hurried in and reported in front of Niu Yonggui, the captain of the Jichun Criminal Police Team: "According to a report from the Daheishan Police Station, a body was found on a tall tree in the Daheishan area. The death condition of the female corpse in the red dress is very similar to the three female corpses we found before, so it should be the work of the same person..."
