Chapter 20 Misleading Reasoning
"Let's summarize the current situation." Dick took the lead.
This is the morning of June 22, in the police station, Dick, Sezer, George, and Paper Man sit together to discuss the latest developments in the intimidation case.
Under such circumstances, Dick will be the first to speak. His experience and case handling ability are second to none in the Paris Police Department. He will lead the reasoning, and he will avoid many detours, and the thinking of everyone will be clearer.
"The previous morning, Mr. Da Dan found a letter from the intimidator in the mailbox. This intimidator may be a person or an organization. It is not yet certain. We will call it a 'prisoner' for now.
The absence of a stamp and address on the envelope indicates that the letter was not delivered by post, but was delivered by the prisoner himself, or that he sent some unrelated person to put the letter in.
According to Mr. Dan, he checked the mailbox when he was off work on the 19th, and there was no letter at the time. Therefore, the time when the threatening letter was sent should be locked from 7 pm on the 19th to the next morning.
There is a camera in the lobby on the ground floor of the apartment, but the picture taken is not very clear. According to a preliminary investigation of the video, during the time period I just mentioned, there were only three people who had contacted Mr. Dan's mailbox. The first guy appeared around nine in the evening. He slid into the building with other residents and stuffed flyers in the mailboxes of each household. At first I doubted whether this person was quietly put in as a cover for match advertisements. I received a threatening letter; but then a second person appeared, and this guy had serious suspicions ... He appeared in the early morning. From the surveillance video, he entered the apartment door using the normal method, which was to use the key hanging on the key. Magnetic stripe ornament. Of course, it is not difficult to get this thing. As far as I know, the magnetic stripe scanning locks of the electronic doors of this type of apartment buildings are very simple, and even not as safe as traditional locks. Find a few fake phone cards on the street. Card dealers can handle that kind of door.
The second person wore a dark hooded blouse, covered half of his face with a hood, and walked into the apartment lobby. Due to the dim light, his height and gender could only be determined from the camera footage. This person also seems to know the position of the monitoring probe, covering the mailbox and his hands with his body as much as possible. He stays in the picture for a short time, but he is standing in front of Mr. Dan's mailbox. The intimidation letter is This person may send more than 90%.
As for the third person, the postman who came in early in the morning to deliver the letter can basically be ruled out. "
George added at this time: "By the way, from the video, the figure of the second person is very close to the man I met at the police station the night before yesterday."
Dick replied: "I estimate that it is very likely that the two are the same person. Tracking the three people's route through the street probe, only the second person cannot trace it back down from the street at the door of the apartment. Push and watch, you can see that the person came out of an alley. There is no monitoring probe in the alley, but there is a street on the other side of the alley. However, he did not take a picture of him walking into the alley, so he cannot continue. Push his course backwards. "
"Maybe he's going up the roof, climbing a fire ladder, or the sewer, or maybe he's just picking up blind spots on the camera and walking on the road without surveillance sensors," George said.
Dick said: "In short, it can be confirmed that the person who sent the intimidation letter has a very strong anti-reconnaissance ability and pays great attention to hiding his whereabouts. The problem that ordinary prisoners may only notice when they escape, he is going to the place of crime. You already noticed on the way. Even if you go to the police to do this, it may not be better than him. "He paused and said," Then talk about the letter and the 'head'. "
The "head" here does not refer to the skull of a living creature in the true sense, but refers to a woodcarving of a human head, that is, the parcel that Galas received shortly after going to work yesterday. When he opened it, he was not scared. This time, he was not in the mood to check what he was doing in the unit. He immediately asked for leave and rushed to the police station holding the box. At this point, the case was considered to be on the line, and Dick, George, and Paper Man also took the opportunity to formally intervene. Letters of intimidation, orange kernels, and woodcarvings were taken to the physical examination department for detailed examination.
Dick's statement continued: "The envelope is quite common, but the yellowed stationery ... according to the identification, it was actually the end of the nineteenth century; and the intimidators did not use printing or cutting newspaper impurities or other methods To write the letter, he chose to write with a pen.
This prisoner likes to use the old method. Every step he is imitating the organization that was established more than 200 years ago, the K-party, and imitating the oldest set of things. Paper, handwriting, orange kernels are all messages he gave us, as if he had traveled directly from the 19th century to the 22nd century. "
"But what's the point of doing this?" George lit another cigarette.
"Good question." Dick said: "In my opinion, the 'intimidator' in this case is not an organization, and they are far from the size of the past Three K's. In the dark, there may be only one person. No more than five people. One of them might be a smart guy, but it's not too smart.
Eighty percent of these intimidators are just a group of ordinary people who are not living well, are full of resentment, and have a certain racial discrimination tendency. They are not triads at all, but they try to pretend to be like that, hum ... Tigers are not anti-dogs.
In the nineteenth century, the Three Ks were not extreme racist killers. They were the impression others had made of them after their evolution. From the current point of view, they are a group of hard-liners in the south who are unwilling to fail after the war. They use violent means to impose political views on others. They want to restrict the civil rights of liberated blacks and drive them away. Northerners and Republicans are looking forward to recovering their lives through hooliganism. "
The paper man sneered: "It sounds like they want to be aristocrats."
Dick also laughed: "That's a far cry. I mean, the inmate in this case is imitative in appearance and not so clever. He thought he was looking for an old book in an old book stall. Book, tear a piece of 19th century blank paper, make some articles on the handwriting, put some orange kernels in the envelope, it is done like that. In fact, this is a complete addition, from the content of the letter See, this racist approach is more like what the K-party would do from the end of the twentieth century to the beginning of the twenty-first century. He simply used ordinary communication paper and pasted some words cut from newspapers to make ordinary Do n’t put any orange cores on the intimidation letter, just sign three k's, it really looks like the three k's in the later period.
Hmm ... let's go back to George's question. What's the point of doing this?
There are usually two types of prisoners who design and lay out clues, do many hidden details, and provide the police with evidence on their own initiative. The first is nothing more than fame. Obviously, the case before us is the first one.
We have analyzed and seen that this person's ability to act and anti-reconnaissance are very strong, and the details can be almost leak-free. All the information and evidence he wants to convey are placed in front of our police, even in unexpected situations. The police later found that he was able to escape successfully.
Would it be difficult for such a person to kill Gallas? The answer is definitely no. He didn't need to send any threatening letter, and the letter was also very funny. The real K-party, I mean, the kind of 19-th-century K-party that he tried hard to imitate, should ask in the letter for the other party to change his or Leaving, but the prisoner didn't say anything similar, he just said, "You have violated the bottom line of our tolerance, this letter means death", this is not intimidation, this is a death declaration, according to the content of the letter, He didn't have anything he wanted from Mr. Dardan ... except for his life.
But why didn't he do it directly? Why did he personally confirm that Mr. Dan had come to us to report the case across the police station?
Quite simply, he wanted us to get involved, to play games with the police, to be reported by the media, chased, and even mentioned to the textbooks many years later, as well as those well-known criminals in history. "
"Wait a minute ..." Saizel finally couldn't help but interjected: "I only have one question, assuming this person is just for fame, but generally this kind of guy who plays games with the police for fame is not all Did you start with killing?
But he hadn't killed anyone at all, just intimidation. Even if this prisoner is arrested and jailed tomorrow, what is the threat? The court just assigned a rookie lawyer to him, and it is impossible to escalate the case into an attempted murder? How many years can he be sentenced for intimidating? Three years? Five years? If the prisoner does not have a criminal record, he may be on parole. "
"It's contradictory. It feels like if we value the case, we will agree with him." George spit out his cigarette ring and half-jokingly said: "But using conventional methods to deal with it, it seems that we don't take Galas Dadans too much. It ’s a matter of life. "
Zhi Xia said at this time: "We attach importance to investigative actions and keep a low profile to the outside world, just as we have in the serial homicide case. I haven't seen how hot the case has been in the media."
Dick said: "Yes, it is first and foremost to ensure the safety of citizens. It is definitely wrong to sacrifice civilians in order not to make prisoners happy."
George shrugged and asked, nonchalantly: "I'm curious, what about the second person you just said?"
Dick replied: "It is the kind of person who uses crime as a goal in life or an art form. In order to complete his ideal case, it doesn't matter if he dies. Such a person is crazy. Of course, this second kind of person is generally It all started with a homicide case, a series of homicides, and a game with the police. In the end, there were suicides, surrenders, shots, and impunity. Basically, everyone has become a stink character. Anyway, the intimidator we have Should not belong to this second category. "
Zhi Xia said: "Let's go on to the evidence."
Dick nodded and collected his thoughts: "The prisoner's saliva was not detected on the orange core, and there was no fingerprint on the letter. At present, the other party has not left any useful evidence.
As for that head ... I watched all the surveillance videos between the Louvre entrance and the building where Mr. Dan's office is located. I can basically confirm that the man posing as a courier, the person who delivered the letter the day before yesterday morning, and George the police the night before yesterday evening. The people across the board were the same guy. This also confirms my inference that the other party's eight achievements are only one person.
He was bold and dared to show up in the Louvre-like place with many monitoring probes during the day. In addition, I have to say that posing as a courier is probably one of the easiest camouflages. Most people now have a mindset, as if a person only needs to wear a dark suit and a peaked hat and clothes that are similar in color. It doesn't matter what you want. You will definitely get a courier if you take a parcel post with a note in your hand. No one will ask the courier for documents. Even the Louvre's gatekeeper was no exception, just signing a scribbled list and receiving a parcel.
So our intimidator went to Mr. Dan's work place to deliver the parcel in person, and it was a success.
He should have simplified his makeup, lowered his brim, and put on gloves, but he still left us with no facial features or fingerprints. When he said that, he picked up a stack of files at hand, looked at the photos and the text and said, "The skull in the package is carved from wood, handmade, and carved into a face similar to that of Dadan, painted. The black paint was smashed into the eyes of the woodcarving, and it was covered with a white pointed hood, which was the kind that the Three K Party had put on the head. There were two holes in the triangle and the eyes. The hood revealed the rotten eyes of the woodcarving. "
Putting down the information, Dick continued: "It seems that our prisoner will still have a carving technique. From the current situation, this is also an important clue to identify him ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Zell said: "Would the prisoner be a street artist, or a downcast artist who would never have encountered a pregnant woman, and could not get used to the high-paid academics like Dadan? "
George stood up and moved the leg that was sprained yesterday: "Then we need to investigate, the source of the orange core, the source of the stationery, and the whereabouts of the prisoner are all broken clues." He extinguished the cigarette butts: "I look at the carved clues ... wood, paint, and the clothing he used to pose as a courier. There must be a source for everything. There are still places to start."
The paper knight said, "Well, where is Galas Dadan now?"
"He has already taken a long vacation, and now he should be driving his wife back to his mother's house. His wife's parents live outside the city. Mr. Da Dan insists on sending his wife in person and watching her enter the house before he can rest assured." Saizel said "Don't worry, I sent a police officer to follow them. He will report to me if there is any situation. After sending his wife, Mr. Da Dan will come back to cooperate with all our actions."
Before the words fell, Sezer's cell phone rang. He picked it up and hadn't picked it up, but when he saw the number, his look changed ...
...
