Criminal Investigation Notes

Chapter 3



Chapter 3

In the corridor of the Huadu Police Academy, in front of Director Liaos office, everything happened so suddenly, and the posture of the two people falling was somewhat ambiguous.

Lu Junchi wrapped his arms around the mans waist, the information and photos in his hands fell to the ground while he was also dragged down along, and sat directly on the ground as a human cushion.

Lu Junchi was a little helpless. Although there werent many lights in the corridor, it wasnt very dark. He was about 1.8 meters tall, and it was impossible to ignore him, who had stood there. Before the collision, he had already slowed down his speed. Being able to bump into him like this, also required some ability.

Then, Lu Junchi smelled something, the scent was like peppermint.

He realized that the scent was coming from the man.

The man wore a long-sleeve white shirt. He wasnt short but very thin. Lu Junchi didnt feel much weight that was pressed on his body.

The two were a bit stunned for a moment, then the man lowered his head, and apologized, Im sorry, its too dark here, my eyesight isnt very good, I cant see clearly. His voice was low and slightly hoarse.

Sorry, I was distracted. Lu Junchis hands were still on the mans waist, thus he could feel the other partys body temperature. He hurriedly let go of his hands, grabbed the mans wrist, and lifted him carefully.

Afterward, Lu Junchi took a step back gently, widening the distance between them.

He rubbed his fingers nervously. The touch earlier was still there. The mans body was warm, but his hands were cold as if he had just come out of an extremely cold place.

The man still bowed his head. Looking at this persons figure, made people feel refined in manner, even a gust of wind could blow him down.

Lu Junchi took a deep breath and calmed himself.

He crouched down, began to pick up the photos and information that had scattered all over the ground. At this moment, Lu Junchi discovered a scepter had fallen on the ground, the thin scepter was about half a person tall with a silver cats head on top of it.

Apparently, holding a scepter was like finding a path with a white cane. However, a white cane was unlikely to be this grandiose.

Could it be that this person was really blind?

Lu Junchi felt guilty for a while. He was about to apologize sincerely again, yet he saw the man bent down, picking up the scepter on the ground accurately, then holding it in his hand before picking up a few photos for him without much effort.

Lu Junchi:

The man didnt seem to notice Lu Junchis strange gaze. He held the photo with his slender fingers and brought it about ten meters away from his eyes. He squinted and carefully identified. A womans hand is sawed off?

Lu Junchi made a sound as a response, gathering up the messy photos and information on the ground. He stood up and introduced himself. My name is Lu Junchi, the captain of the Major Crime Unit of Huadu Police Station.

Hearing his words, the man withdrew his eyes from the photos and stared at him fixedly.

Those eyes were extremely focused, making Lu Junchi puzzled for a second, whether he had seen this person somewhere, or if the other party knew him. However, he quickly dismissed this idea, no matter where he saw such a man, he should have some impression.

The man was very good-looking. His skin color was snow-white, he had exquisite facial features, slender neck, looking extremely delicate and pretty. Especially his pair of eyes, which appeared hazy. There was also a tiny tear mole under the right corner of his eyes. Such a pretty appearance didnt match with his slightly hoarse voice.

Similarly, the man introduced himself, Im the teacher here, Su Hui. His lips were slightly pale, there was no trace of blood. The whole person was very thin, so thin that the lower jawbone was visible, which didnt seem to be in good health.

The commotion at the door finally alarmed the people inside the room. The door of Director Liaos office opened, the teaching assistant, Xiao Zhang stuck his head out and looked around.

Captain Lu, Teacher Su, you two are here? Director Liao will be back soon. You can come in and wait for him.

Only now did Lu Junchi know that this Teacher Su also came to find Director Liao. Therefore, he went in the direction of the office door, resulting in the two people bumping into each other, which was a little coincidental.

Director Liaos office was large. It was divided into two rooms: the inner and the outer rooms. The inner room was an independent office with several bookshelves, plus a huge desk, two green plants, and a comfortable swivel chair.

The outer room was the living room and the assistants office. There was a small coffee table and sofas.

Assistant Xiao Zhang greeted them in the outer room, Lu Junchi and Su Hui sat face to face on the sofa.

Xiao Zhang poured two cups of hot water and placed them on the table while slightly apologizing to the two, Director Liao will be here in ten minutes. I made an appointment to pick up something for the director before, and the driver had already arrived at the school gate, I might have to go there now

Lu Junchi understood. Its okay, you can go. Ill just wait for him here.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhang picked up his bag. His voice was a little higher as he said to Su Hui, Teacher Su, I will withdraw first, see you later.

Su Hui, who was sitting on the opposite side, nodded with his pointed chin. See you later.

When Xiao Zhang went out, the room fell into silence for a moment.

Being in the same room with a man, who he just met and had unexpected physical contact with, Lu Junchi suddenly became a little troubled and awkward.

He didnt want to look at the other party, but he still couldnt help looking at that person.

Honestly, this Teacher Su was indeed a rare beauty, he looked very in line with Lu Junchis aesthetic. He rarely thought a man would be this good-looking, yet this Teacher Su made him feel that he could only use the word good-looking to describe his appearance.

When he wasnt talking, Su Hui was a little cold, the whole person was made of ice and snow, making people difficult to approach.

At this time, Su Hui turned his head sideways, played with the scepter in his hand, and stroked the cats head repeatedly as if he was stroking the metal animal fur. He then leaned over the scepter, using his white cheek to rub against the cat, as though there was nobody else present.

Su Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression was a bit similar to a cat, yet his beautiful eyes were out of focus, no one knew what he was thinking.

From Lu Junchis point of view, this Teacher Su looked like a painting. Everything was fine except for one small defect, his collar was a little untidy, and the collar on the right side was a bit folded, making people want to reach out to help him straighten it.

Lu Junchi suppressed the urge to remind the other party to tidy up his clothes, lowered his head, took a sip of water, thinking about how to solve this embarrassment, then he heard Su Hui speak first.

Teacher Su straightened his body, supported himself by holding the scepter, and greeted formally, Nice to meet you, Captain Lu.

Lu Jun nodded slowly. Nice to meet you

The two were silent again

Lu Junchi glanced at his phone, it had only been a minute. They probably still need to be idle a bit more. He tried his best not to focus on Su Huis appearance.

Sitting still was boring anyway, thus Lu Junchi decided to start with the topic that related to work. Teacher Su, what course did you teach?

Su Hui replied, Im in Criminology Department, teaching the sociology of crime.

Lu Junchi finally found the topic. Then, Teacher Su must have some understanding about criminal psychology, right?

Su Hui nodded. I have some superficial understanding.

Until now, influenced by his family and some work experience, Lu Junchi upheld a type of yearning spirit to explore criminal psychology and criminal psychology portraits. He didnt have a talent in this area but he had a deep favorable impression for people who had this ability.

Lu Junchi said sincerely, Im very interested in criminal psychology, and I once wanted to come to the academy for an audit, but unfortunately, Im too busy with work. Can Teacher Su give me some advice, such as which course I should attend so that I can understand more?

Su Lian said, Criminology is an analysis of the criminal situation. Courses that are offered by the academy are criminology, criminal justice, sociology of crime, and various circumstances of criminal psychology. Among them, criminal psychology is used as a fundamental principle of psychology. It is an interdisciplinary subject that studies the main part of the criminal mind. Our academy has many teachers that specialize in criminal psychology, there are some who are quite experienced. For example, Director Liao, and if you want to listen to the related course, you can find Director Liao.

But Su Hui turned around and looked at the door, paying attention to the movement outside the door. He coughed a few times, lowering his voice, and continued, Compared to many other courses, the development time of criminal psychology is still very short. Especially in China, which is only more than 30 years, the relevant theories arent perfect either. In the coursebooks, there are all kinds of hypothesis styles in each academy that even the publishing houses are different, the teaching materials are different, the definitions are different, and the focuses are also different. It can be said, at present, the knowledge about criminal psychology in the country seems to be limited.

Having said this, Su Hui turned his head and asked Lu Junchi tentatively, Are youcoming here to ask Director Liao for advice about investigating the case?

Lu Junchi nodded, stating the purpose of this trip, A case in our Major Crime Unit encountered recently is really difficult. The murderer might be a serial killer, so I want to ask for help, hoping that Director Liao could give me a criminal psychology portrait.

Lu Junchi heard his words carried an implicit meaning, hence he continued to ask, Does Teacher Su have any suggestions?

Criminal psychology portrait merely used for criminal psychology. You can listen to the course if you want to Su Hui paused and said, But the current domestic criminal psychology portrait isnt mature enough. Although Director Liao has a lot of teaching experience, he hasnt been involved in many cases so far

Lu Junchi glanced at Su Hui, this was also what he worried about before he came.

Su Hui placed the scepter aside, crossing his fingers as he raised his eyelashes and said with a serious expression, Furthermore, I suggest that in the early stage of the investigation, Captain Lu shouldnt be too partial to the unsubstantiated profiling results.

Hearing this sentence, Lu Junchis heart stalled for a while, and he somehow could hear a trace of dj vu in Su Huis tone.

A person suddenly appeared in his mind.

However, that persons voice was completely different from the person in front of him. Besides, that person would never say such a thing.
