Chapter 168 Trainee Detective 6
One set of numbers after another appeared on the pristine white paper, and the room gradually quieted down.
Once the paper was filled with densely packed numbers, a voice suddenly sounded behind Ling Yi: "What is this?"
She turned around and saw Xiang Ke standing behind her, quietly looking at the notebook, or perhaps... her?
She blinked, then ripped the paper to pieces and handed it to Xiang Ke: "Take a look at this first, wait a moment."
After saying that, he took out his phone to check the map and drew coordinate graphs on the new paper.
Xiang Ke held the paper, staring at it intently, his expression uncertain.
Director Gao, carrying an orange, also came over and stared at the paper with a puzzled expression.
He graduated from university decades ago and doesn't even remember the name of his professor from back then, let alone know what Ling Yi wrote on the number.
"Director Xiang, what is this?" he asked without hesitation.
Xiang Ke pondered for a moment, then said, "I don't know."
Director Gao, his eyes brimming with anticipation: "..."
I didn't know you were watching this so intently?
"I'm a forensic doctor, not a math teacher." Faced with his complicated situation, Xiang Ke calmly defended himself.
“But I know that this… Ling Yi…” As if pondering what title to add after her name, Xiang Ke remained silent for a while before slowly saying, “Officer Ling, she may have figured something out.”
The sound of "Officer Ling" made Ling Yi draw a long line on the paper. She glanced at Shi Yi, who looked equally bewildered.
Captain, please help!
Someone's starting to call your intern a police officer, tomorrow they'll call him Captain Ling. Do you think you can keep your position?
Shi Yi remained silent in awe; to be honest, he couldn't understand the math problem either.
Under everyone's eager gaze, Ling Yi drew three coordinate graphs and handed them to Director Gao.
Xiang Ke held the incomprehensible piece of paper in silence for a moment, then turned his gaze to Director Gao.
Gao Ju, who was full of enthusiasm, froze under Xiang Ke's gaze. He felt humiliated for handing over first-hand clues on his own turf and went over to look at them together.
……
I still didn't understand it.
"Xiao Ling," Shi Yi coughed under his boss's disapproving glare, "tell me what happened?"
"The first sheet of paper contains the numbers I extracted from the dates, locations, and time intervals of the deaths of five victims."
"Come on, come here and say it!" Director Gao perked up and pointed to the whiteboard, signaling Ling Yi to go up and perform.
So, Ling Yi carefully checked the extracted numbers again, then manipulated the results onto several coordinates to draw a graph, and then used the formula to deduce three possible results from this graph.
Director Gao opened his mouth, as if to say that he still didn't understand.
He glanced at Xiang Ke, only to see him nod in deep agreement and calmly ask, "Tell me your opinion."
Perhaps Ling Yi's result was too quick and too surprising, because at this moment, Ling Yi felt that Xiang Ke's gaze was trying to bore a hole into her.
“Judging from the height and energy of the five victims, the victims preferred students who were over 1.7 meters tall, under 20 years old, and majoring in dance.” Ling Yi pondered for a moment and continued, “Moreover, he should have followed and investigated these people before taking action.”
Ling Yi circled the sets of time intervals again and said, "When I saw these numbers, I realized that they were a set of regular numbers."
The criminal police officers who were handling the case outside squeezed in through the crack in the door, their hair disheveled and their shirts greasy, as they looked at the girl and spoke to her.
What pattern? How come they didn't notice it?
Then, Lingyi wrote a formula on the whiteboard.
"You can plug this formula into yourselves and see if the calculated interval is equal to the date the victim was victimized."
Those she tagged: "..."
Shouldn't mathematics be taught to teachers upon graduation?
How are we going to let them calculate it?
If there were some recent graduates in this group, they might be able to figure it out, but now...
Haha, a group of old-timers looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Go and call in a few recent graduates!" But how could this possibly stump Director Gao?
This police station has no shortage of talented people!
Before long, several young men with youthful faces were brought in, and then they painstakingly checked the calculations on the papers that had been handed out to them.
Lingyi was speaking upstairs, while they were calculating downstairs.
After Lingyi finished explaining the calculated coordinates, the group was able to calculate the first three sets of numbers.
Director Gao asked in confusion, "Didn't you all graduate from the same university?"
Why is there such a big difference?
The young girl only took a few tens of minutes to calculate this, but these guys have been working on it for two hours in groups and still haven't finished.
An ambitious young man walked in, looking disheveled and checking his calculations. He pushed up his glasses and said quietly, "Is it possible that we don't have to study this?"
"Director Gao could invite a few professors or students from the mathematics department."
A plate of grapes suddenly appeared beside her. Ling Yi took two to quench her thirst and helped her colleague out of a predicament: "This involves some rather complex mathematical formulas. Perhaps running the model in a program would calculate the next coordinate more accurately."
She smiled shyly: "After all, I'm not a professional, and I might not be able to handle such high-IQ criminals."
Director Gao's smile twisted: "A high-IQ criminal?"
He gritted his teeth in a fit of rage: "Doesn't he even know where he is! A place with double-digit academicians, triple-digit outstanding young scientists, and countless PhDs and Masters, how dare he commit high-IQ crimes?"
"Who does he think he is!"
"If you want a math professor, wait a while!"
After saying that, he left as if his pants were on fire.
"Director Gao," a male voice called out to him at this moment, "Please also invite a few video tracking professionals from various companies over. We'll be looking at even more footage soon, and the bureau might not have enough people."
It is well known that police officers do not earn high salaries, and those in Beijing earn even less.
Talented individuals with similar imaging skills can earn hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions of yuan annually in companies, but in a police station...
Haha, you can't be the only one to squander the entire budget.
Therefore, police chiefs are exceptionally good at bringing in outside help, and those they invite often do not refuse, whether out of a sense of social responsibility or because of their status and position.
"understood!"
Director Gao waved his hand and pressed his phone repeatedly.
They're really making a big splash!
Lingyi sighed as she picked up the grapes.
Suddenly, her clothes were tugged.
Ok?
Looking down, she saw Shi making faces at her, his facial muscles practically twitching.
"Team Leader Shi, is something the matter?" A voice sounded from behind, and Ling Yi paused in picking up grapes.
