Chapter 91: Old Experts with International Prestige
My name is Lin Qianjun. Lin is Lin from Forest News, Qian is Qian from Qianli Horse, Jun is the army of Red Army Bridge, and an ordinary staff officer (deputy regiment level) of the General Staff Military Intelligence Bureau.
I am now having dinner with my colleague Xiao Yucheng in the restaurant of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department Guesthouse located at No. 59 Huanghua Road, Yangcheng. We are on a business trip, but because there was a little trouble on the way, we might have to take a day or two here for a while. Of course, the trouble is just temporary, small, we will soon be able to re-enter our favorite work, and it is definitely great to be able to relax and rest!
We like this guesthouse very much. The last time we came to live in the barracks in the army, more for the need to keep work confidential. As the forefront of reform and opening up, the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department has a heavy reception task, and many people have come to visit various places to handle cases, learn from, inspect and learn, so we spent a lot of money to renovate the place according to the current standards in Yangcheng. In addition, the good greening environment in the No. 59 compound and the integration of classical and modernity bring guests a good feeling of being at home.
I like the pleasant atmosphere here, as well as the Cantonese cuisine here. Cantonese cuisine is clear but not light, fresh but not vulgar, and it uses a wide range of ingredients and has rare ingredients. It seems that the chefs in the guesthouse are of high quality, and the dishes here are original, not the fucking goods that sometimes taste like a starch in the Cantonese restaurants in Beijing.
Zhou Jia was responsible for accompanying him. He didn't eat much. Because the weather was hot, we got a few bottles of iced Zhujiang beer and chatted while eating.
We can't and dare not talk about work, because we are not very familiar with each other and are not easy to make jokes. But "the public security in the world is a family." As people in a circle, we can always find speculative topics. It is close to the Pearl of the East, and everyone is very concerned about the affairs there. So the three of us started to talk about the matter when Mrs. Thatcher in Great Britain visited the capital in 1982 and fell and was photographed when she was photographed.
Since he is in the public security industry, he always talks about cases after all. Zhou Jia talks about a few big cases that happened there, such as the case of hiding a carton, the case of butcher on the rainy night, etc. When it comes to the key points, Xiao Yucheng will always put down his chopsticks and discuss with him from a professional perspective.
Zhou Jia himself works in intelligence like me, but he likes criminal investigation and reasoning. He also admires Professor Xiao Yucheng from the Public Security University for a long time, so he is desperately talking to Xiao Yucheng and wants to listen to his instructions. Xiao Yucheng has to devote some energy to dealing with him from enjoying food.
"The case of the butcher on the rainy night," Xiao Yucheng said, "I have heard of it before, and have done some research. I have committed four consecutive crimes and killed and dismembered the victims. The methods are very cruel and the crimes are very secretive. At that time, I thought that the murderer should have means of transportation to find the victims and commit crimes. They are all acting at night. They should have a legitimate work profession related to it. They are not easily suspicious of the victims and the police. They are probably a taxi driver who works on night shifts, and they are mentally abnormal. These clues are simply obvious."
Xiao Yucheng shook his head.
"As a result, half a year later, the murderer took out the photos and washed the prints. The person who washed the photos reported him, and the case was solved. The police there were really too incompetent in this case. Even if they checked the suspects one by one, they were found out, otherwise they would be irresponsible for the lives and safety of Hong Kong people."
"Their case handling style is completely different from ours. They have to talk about their freedom and human rights in everything, that is, they can't mobilize the masses and concentrate on handling major cases!" Zhou Jia added.
"It's just that. Those who believe in me are democratic and free, those who don't believe in me are dictatorial and authoritarian, and double standards are always very good." I couldn't help but interrupt and said, "I know a little bit what the future will be like in the future."
"Well... this is biased." Xiao Yucheng said slowly, "Now it is still a colony there. I have to listen to those foreigners named John, who are in high-level police officers. There is no way to do anything about many things. I believe they will get better in the future. And the case handling there... the level of technology... is still a little more advanced than us, but we have to talk about efficiency and IQ. Although Holmes was written by the British, when it comes to wisdom..." He said seriously, "I also think they are unreasonable. Maybe they have different ideas so they cannot communicate. But when I was in school, some young policemen who came over to communicate there spoke in the tone of the young police. They think that we are all relying on forced confessions to handle the case! They always say that we are a place where the rule of law is, as if their social security situation is good."
"I have read your paper on the serial murder case of Jack the Ripper in London," said Zhou Jia. "I also think your insights and reasoning are very reasonable. If you were a detective at Scotland Yard in 1888, you might have brought the murderer to justice, and Jack would not have become one of the most notorious killers in European and American culture."
"Have you read that paper too? Director Zhou, you must have read it like Staff Lin."
Xiao Yucheng smiled happily, his face filled with smug expressions, and he was looking at our glasses with great enthusiasm.
"Who is Jack: The Hands of a Woman"" he continued, "It's quite interesting to think about it now. This is the result of my years of being busy with those old archives and old books, and I had to think about it and use those old cases to train my reasoning. It may not be taken seriously. After all, it was a case from more than a hundred or even hundreds of years ago. I can only rely on the little clues provided in the book. If I lose a slight mistake, it is a thousand miles away. I can only treat it as a kind of literary and historical research."
"Your paper was published in the journal Heidelberg Criminal Investigation and Forensic Science. This is the most authoritative professional magazine in the world. It seems that our country has not published a paper on criminal investigation there for many years. As soon as your paper was published, it immediately caused an uproar in the international criminal investigation research community. There were many different opinions, and even directly arrogantly believed that Oriental people would only hold the suspect's hands and feet and force him to confess his guilt. Without meticulous reasoning logic and outstanding detective masters, they are not qualified to point fingers at strange cases in Europe and the United States. This is completely a prejudice. Of course, there are also many famous criminal police and experts who support your opinions. Everyone argued endlessly. Unfortunately, it was a case a hundred years ago. We want to find criminals and criminals will not wait honestly, otherwise the suspect will be arrested for the first trial according to your ideas, and the truth will be revealed soon."
"Yes, death is the fairest judgment." Xiao Yucheng said. "If we cannot catch the criminal in time, death will not let him go in the end, but this is our police dereliction of duty. Zhou Chu, I didn't expect you to know these things so clearly!"
"Then why do you think Jack the Ripper is a woman in the paper?" I heard them chatting so happily, but I only read the novel written by Xiao Yucheng, and never read the paper they mentioned. I just mentioned that when Wang Qinian introduced Xiao Yucheng to me, he mentioned that he was well-known in the world in the research of criminal literature and history. According to Zhou Jia's meaning, this reputation seems to be quite good!
"For a hundred years, there have been many researches on this case in the world, including authoritative experts such as Dr. Polo from Belgium, Chief Hawthorne of the United States, and Professor Henggou Shinji in Japan. But everyone always has a misunderstanding that such continuous crimes against prostitutes, coupled with the bloody dismemberment, and the incompetent and naked provocation of the police, must be done by an extremely perverted and powerful man. The subconscious machoism of the gentlemen in Britain covers up some clues of this bad case that may point to the real identity of the murderer. Just like we look at ginger and eat fish! Even if ginger is not placed in the fish dish, we will still eat the fragrance of ginger when we eat fish."
Xiao Yucheng pointed to a steamed grouper on the table and said that he praised the main dish so much that he ate the most.
"But, the male suspects have been screened several times like gold hunting, and Jack the Ripper disappeared after provoking the arrogant and dull guys in Scotland Yard. This is unusual. How could a person who dared to do such a big case not keep his word? In addition to his own accident, the police have almost all the people who had an accident at that time. There is only one possibility. Jack the Ripper cannot find him, but he is actually a woman. Only women can regard cheating as their natural power without any criticism." He said.
"That's why Professor Xiao's works have caused such great controversy abroad. Those white people have a stubborn view that perverted murderers are all men's territory. Women only dare to play with poison and daggers for crimes, and at most they use pistols to shoot black guns behind their backs."
Zhou Jia interrupted, "Some people always like to despise women, right?" I once handled a case where a female employee had her husband stole people, so she took him out of eight pieces and put them in a pressure cooker. Her colleagues in the unit said that the murderer was a weak woman who usually didn't dare to kill even a chicken."
"Comprehensive the various situations in the Jack Ripper case, there are many outstanding prostitutes among the murdered, but none of them were sexually assaulted, and one victim had small buttons on women's boots in his pool of blood. If the suspect's gaze was humble, then there would be a ready-made good target. London police and researchers have done a lot of work and listed nearly a hundred suspects. Among the eight most suspected suspects, one of the prestigious doctors was John Williams. Judging from the skillful method of dismembering the victim, they should have a medical background.
, but because there are some factors that do not match, it is just a suspicion. But in my paper, I think that his wife, Lizhi Williams, is Jack the Ripper, because most of the doctors' wives at that time, had to be nurses for her husband, help, and also knew some medical knowledge. Lizhi Williams was also a midwife, very strong, and the most important thing is that the information records that this woman has no ability to have children, so she is most likely to have some kind of crazy and hysterical hatred for the fertility parts of the victims, and one of the victims may have an infectious relationship with her husband..."
Xiao Yucheng was really familiar with his research results and talked endlessly, but the story he told was very suspenseful and attractive, so we both put down our chopsticks and listened carefully, and asked questions in person in time. He was very familiar with the information, so he explained it casually. I had only heard of the case before, but I didn't understand what he said, but I still felt very powerful.
"Lizhi Williams broke down shortly after the series of murders in the Ripper Jack case, Whitechapel, in 1888. She died of cancer in 1912. The disaster she encountered was the retribution of her sins for a certain period of time." Xiao Yucheng finally summarized the words, "I believe that with the advancement of technology and further deepening of research on this case in the future, new evidence will emerge to prove my point of view!"
He stopped and looked around. Although the audience was only Zhou Jia and I in the private room, his expression seemed to be a successful report in the International Academic Hall. Of course, we also smiled and applauded.
"Dongdong!"
Someone knocked on the door outside. Before we could react, the door was pushed open from outside. A young man in a suit came in with a smile, holding a bottle of whiskey and a small cup of white wine in his hand.
"Director Zhou, you are a rare guest. I heard that you are treating me here, so I hurried over to greet you."
"Come on, let me introduce you to you. This is Director Li of our guesthouse." Zhou Jia was disturbed during the meal and looked bad. But when she saw the person who came in, she changed her smile. She quickly stood up and introduced, "It is the third child of Director Li's family in our department. These two distinguished guests are..." Zhou Jia paused almost unaware, "The teacher and expert who came to us for research and guidance, this is Professor Xiao, and this is Director Lin."
"Li Yuncong, Yuncai Yun, and Zhizhi Cong are the deputy director of the guesthouse. We welcome two leaders from the capital to our Yangcheng to inspect and guide the work. I will do it first." Li Yuncong began to toast our wine generously to fulfill the friendship of the landlords. This is also the normal state of general reception and social work. Xiao Yucheng and I also stood up enthusiastically to receive the wine and did it.
"I'll call Mr. Li soon," Zhou Jia joked, "I heard that the plan of your contracting hall guesthouse has been researched. If you pass it, you will have to treat you."
"It's all things that my brothers respect and didn't say anything. You must have good wine and food and drink well." Li Yuncong said with a smug look on his face.
Next to him, Xiao Yucheng recalled a little and asked, "Do you have an older brother named Li Yundi?"
"Yes, Professor Xiao knows my elder brother?" Li Yuncong replied in surprise.
"He helped me when he was studying at the Public Security University, but he may not remember it." Xiao Yucheng was a little melancholy.
"At that time, I was defeated and became a typical example of the stinky old man. The more knowledge I have become, the more reactionary he is," Xiao Yucheng recalled, "Once I was anxious to check a piece of information, and ran back to the library in the middle of the night, but was caught by the patrol team and wanted to exaggerate it. It was your brother who helped to speak nice things to his classmates, so he didn't make things difficult for me!"
"Then you must be my brother's teacher. My brother works in Yangcheng." Li Yuncong said excitedly, "Where do you live, I tell him that he will definitely come to see you."
Xiao Yucheng said with a puzzled look: "I don't have time to come here this time. I'll have the chance to come to Yangcheng next time."
Li Yuncong glanced at Zhou Jia and responded easily. He drank a few glasses of wine with us, chatted a few more, and then said goodbye. When he left, he took Zhou Jia out for an excuse to talk for a while.
"Why, Director Zhou," I smiled at Zhou Jia who came in, "All the guesthouses in your hall are going to be contracted?"
"It's open and active, and we are also actively responding to the central government's policies. Or it's like "Multi-Floor Hotel", with a bloated organization and a person who is in trouble. You have to wait for three days to eat a bowl of noodles. To be honest, the people in the hall have some opinions about this guesthouse." Zhou Jiahun explained indifferently.
"But the nature of our work always has its own speciality." I murmured in a low voice. If you have any opinions, you really can't say it, you can't say it well, or you can't say it well. It's not that I don't understand, the world is changing rapidly.
"What a big deal. This is a frontier city in reform and opening up. The idea is good, the idea is life, time is money, efficiency is life, it is deafening, and I always want to go to Shenzhen to take a look," said Xiao Yucheng.
"This is very convenient. When do you have time? I will drive a car and take a guard to accompany you everywhere to play. You can also go to Zhongying Street to buy something for your home." Zhou Jia was immediately excited. Last time we came to the mysterious and walked in a hurry. Maybe we could accompany us this time. Fortunately, he still remembers that our identity is sensitive, so he accompanied us himself and the guards. On the basis of taking safety measures, he tried hard to have fun.
We had to wait for the new order from our superiors and couldn't go anywhere, so we had to refuse.
We had enough wine and meals. Although it was dark in Yangcheng, we were late at this time, so we went back to our room to rest. Xiao Yucheng and I lived in Room 405 of the VIP Building in this guesthouse. It was a suite and was decorated very luxuriously. According to the system in the group, we lived together. Next door were two security personnel from Guangdong Province arranged by Zhou Jia. After we came back, we greeted them and worked hard all the way and we quickly went to bed.
No words all night.
