Chapter 531 Press Conference
"Wait!" Lin Ying picked up the paper and pen from the table and quickly remembered, "I have to write down these words, so that I can explain to those reporters at that time."
Chen Yu took a sip of water and continued, "The most used thing in that ancient tomb is not these, but another thing."
“What is it?”
"The Klein bottle has no structure inside or outside. It is estimated that the universe has the same shape."
"Ahhhh!" I shouted, "You talked about Klein that day, and I thought it was a person's name!"
Lin Ying quickly remembered it, then looked at Chen Yu with admiration and said, "Teacher Shen, I am convinced of you. It was nothing but the matter was so slandered by you. I was still so well-informed. If I hadn't been to the tomb of King Luqiu, I would have believed it."
"What do you mean? It's like my previous explanations are all lies?" Chen Yu asked angrily.
"Do you know whether to cheat or not, you know in your heart - for example, the incident of pouring a row of electric poles in Yuntang Town, the incident of your sudden big stomach eating everywhere, the explanations you made at that time may be okay to coax Xiao Yu and the others. If you really want to hide it from me, that is the dereliction of duty of me, the captain of the criminal investigation."
...
The special group's press conference was originally scheduled to be thirty minutes, but it was finally extended to two hours and thirty minutes.
Faced with reporters' long spears and short cannons and repeated questions, officials from all walks of life had to reply one by one. Lin Ying became the main force at the press conference because she was clearest about the matter and explained the most in detail.
"Is the tattooed corpse a perverted serial murder case, or is it an organized and premeditated extremist gang committed the crime?" Some reporters came up and directly attacked the core issue.
"This—" Lin Ying looked up at the director, "There is no certain nature yet, but according to the police's understanding, the perpetrators, corpses and tattoos are often not the same person, or even the same group of people."
"That's the premeditated extreme gang committed the crime? Do the police know their purpose and demands?"
"There is already a direction."
"With the direction, is it enough to be sure to predict and prevent the next case from happening?"
“There is a certain possibility.”
"Now all citizens are in danger. Some people have analyzed the content of these tattoos online, thinking that they are extremeists like the movie "Seven Deadly Sins". Some people predict that the next person to be murdered should be "stinginess". But how should we grasp the behavior of "stinginess"?
"Life is not easy now, and everyone is calculating carefully. Is this considered stingy? If this is considered stingy, are many citizens facing the risk of being killed? I hope the police can clarify it."
Chen Yu and I sat down below and listened silently, and the reporters' questions became increasingly acute.
"Difficult." Chen Yu said silently, "Lin Ying's position is really embarrassing and difficult."
"Not." I also sighed sincerely.
"It's a good thing that's not me who is standing there." She sighed.
After hearing what she said, I felt more and more pitiful to Lin Ying.
"... According to our understanding of the criminals, the targets they choose are generally people of relatively serious nature." Lin Ying said, "And, whether they are stingy or not has to be discussed separately, because there are two victims like "bad words", "two slander", and "fancy words", so the criminal rules of the murderer need to be further confirmed."
"Captain Lin, from the first case to now, there have been ten people tattooed, but the police have never had any clues. Is this the police's dereliction of duty? Can the police still give citizens a sense of security?"
“We have been working hard to solve the case.”
"But what citizens want is not this sentence. They want to feel safe now!"
"... That's why we set up a special group to coordinate all resources, hoping to solve the case as soon as possible and give Wei Yang a stable environment."
"May I ask, recently there have been red moons, two moons, and aurora in the sky at this moment. Are these astronomical phenomena related to the case?"
"This, no contact has been found yet."
"Someone once saw someone running on the top of a tree on the high-speed rail, there were also videos of Kumamoto flying in the sky, and some even saw people with blurred facial features at night. Are these related to the case?"
"We don't have any exact information yet."
"Is the right criminal team of the police? Is it a human or other creature?"
"We are also studying this issue."
"I don't know anything. Do you want you police to have a good meal?!" A man stood up in the reporter's group. He pointed at Lin Ying and scolded angrily, "I am an investigative reporter. I have interviewed three victims in large communities. They have been running around for the people in this community, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are asking for their lives for the people!
"But they were killed for no reason, and they were stabbed on their foreheads for insults - what kind of murderer is this? This is a murderer who confuses right and wrong and confuses black and white! Since the incident in Zhuxiang Square, you have been inaction - incompetent, powerless, and unwilling to protect the safety of the people!"
"Yes, you have never tried your best to do it for so long!"
"If you are incompetent, you have to replace someone!"
"The people don't need excuses, they just need to solve the problem!"
"Take out actions that we can see!"
"You are not competent at all!"
"Ignore my duties! Ignore my life! Ignore everyone's life and death!"
The atmosphere suddenly heated up. Lin Ying stood there, her voice had been drowned in the angry slaughter. People only vented their emotions, neither listening to her defense nor listening to any rational words.
I stood behind and couldn't help but feel sympathy for Lin Ying. She was like a sailboat in the storm, maintaining the small boat that was about to capsize in the angry sea alone in the storm.
"Everyone, we understand everyone's mood in particular, and our criminal investigation team is also anxious..." Lin Ying explained loudly. At this time, security guards had already gone around and wanted to maintain order at the press conference.
"You are the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team. Where is your captain? Ask the captain to come out and reply!"
"Sorry, I am currently in charge of the work in the team..."
"Host, do you have the ability to host?! You have the security presided over Weiyang City like this?"
"Pure waste! A corpse-positioned thing!"
"Trump, garbage, garbage!" someone shouted rhythmically in the venue.
"I heard that there is a teacher in your police force who is the consultant. The Internet says that she is the mastermind behind these cases. Is there any such thing?"
"Yes, that female consultant heard that she was just a relationship account. She only got an extra money by nepotism, right?"
"What kind of relationship household? She is the woman behind the leader..." Someone even whispered.
My head exploded with a "boom". When these people insulted Lin Ying, I wanted to rush up and beat people. Now when I talked about Chen Yu, I couldn't help it anymore. I pushed the chair and stood up suddenly. I wanted to talk about "Ten Evils in the City" with more like-minded people, follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find friends~
