Chapter 588: It's This Face!
The area of Linglan City is not large, with a straight-line distance of 32 kilometers, which almost encompasses most of the city.
For the two corpse dumping sites that I went to yesterday afternoon, they were all within the shared perception range of Mu Yuan and Xiao Mao.
This is also the main reason why Mu Yuan so simply agreed to Deputy Captain Lin to go back to the hotel to rest first.
Mu Yuan controlled Xiao Mao, and soon found the checkpoint where the Linglan City Bureau determined that the corpse dumping vehicle left the city, and then locked the time, and without much effort, he saw the car appear in the field of vision.
At this moment, it is already one o'clock in the night, Linglan City is different from Xihua City, whether it is the prosperity of the economy or the prosperity of the nightlife, it is several orders of magnitude worse, therefore, at this point in time, the pedestrians on the streets of Linglan City are almost invisible, and there are mostly taxis running on the street.
This is true even in the most prosperous areas of the city, let alone out of the city, where there is not even a ghost in sight except for the dim street lamps.
Xiao Mao descended from the sky leisurely, and if anyone saw it, it was estimated that it would cause some waves.
After all, owls of this size are indeed rare, they are too small, and they feel like they are stunted.
Perhaps this will also lead to a series of biological discussions about whether there are not enough mice in the wild for owls to eat, and there is a problem with the food chain......
Well, this question is a little too complicated, at least not in the category that Mu Yuan can understand.
He controlled Xiao Mao to stop on the flower stand on the side of the road, the height was just level with the windows of the cars passing on the road.
Then, continue the time rewind charm.
Xiao Mao's sharp gaze passed directly through the sign 508 in front of him, taking in everything in the carriage.
Then, Mu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.
The driver who drove the car was none other than the young victim Liu Fei.
Although only two or three frames were captured, Mu Yuan could see from his face that he did not have any abnormalities.
At the same time, there was no one else in the car.
Mu Yuan didn't draw any conclusions, and continued to control Xiao Mao to fly forward.
The benefits of Xiaomao's upgrade are not only reflected in the distance of shared perception, but also in the control of long-distance targets.
In the past, when I just got Xiaomao, such a long-distance tracking, almost every 100 meters, you need to go back in time, otherwise it is easy to lose the target.
But now Xiao Mao, even if it is a distance of thousands of meters at a time, can't escape its sight.
In this regard, Mu Yuan is also very satisfied, after all, this will greatly reduce the consumption of time regression charms.
So far, Mu Yuan has only purchased the Time Regression Charm once, and the time used to purchase it this time is longer than the time Rewind Charm that he won last time.
Although it was a hundred seconds, although there were now more cases solved every day than before, the frequency of his use of the time rewind charm was greatly reduced, and the consumption of time naturally decreased.
But even so, the last 10 minutes of recharging are now about to be exhausted.
Even if Mu Yuan doesn't use the time regression charm many times now, this anti-heaven level prop is definitely one of the most powerful case-solving artifacts in his hand, even if he doesn't use it, he has to prepare it, otherwise he will not be sure.
It is estimated that before Mu Yuan can upgrade Xiao Mao again, he will have to add a time rewind charm first.
Anyway, it's only 100 chivalrous points, which is really nothing to Mu Yuan now.
Mu Yuan kept following, but in his mind, he was thinking about some of the situations detected by the Linglan City police.
The Linglan City Police once asked Liu Fei's girlfriend that Liu Fei went out of the city this time to meet an appointment, and his colleagues in the unit asked him to go fishing in the wild together.
But after leaving, he never came back, and when he said goodbye, he was already a corpse.
In this case, his colleague had some suspicions, and the Linglan City police also investigated him, and the results proved that Liu Fei's colleague was not suspected of committing the crime.
After all, colleagues who can make an appointment to go fishing together on the weekend will not have a bad relationship, and there is no financial exchange between the two, which is a very pure friendship.
Of course, the most important point is that during the period of Liu Fei's disappearance, the colleague who invited Liu Fei did not spend a long time alone and did not have time to commit crimes.
Moreover, this colleague had absolutely nothing to do with the other two deceased.
The Linglan City police even investigated who knew about Liu Fei's departure from the city, but the result was still nothing.
Because of this, Mu Yuan was very curious about what happened to Liu Fei on the way......
When he was at the funeral home just now, he had already determined the cause of Liu Fei's death - suffocation.
Judging by the marks on his neck, he certainly did not commit suicide.
Uh, well, in fact, even if you don't look at the marks on your neck, you can be sure that it's not suicide, after all, the dead can't throw their own corpses, right?
Of course, the strangulation marks on the neck are not meaningless, at least it proves that the suspect used some kind of soft rope or strap to directly wrap around the victim's neck, causing him to suffocate to death.
So, what happened along the way? The murderer seized the opportunity, put a rope around Li Fei's neck, and successfully strangled him to death.
As for the motive, Mu Yuan didn't think about it for the time being.
Cases like this that are more bizarre and occur within ten days can be pushed all the way.
In just a few minutes, a scene appeared in Mu Yuan's field of vision—the vision of time rewind.
A person, lying in the middle of the road, happened to block the way of Liu Fei's car with the sign 508.
Of course, this man is not a dead man, he is lying half-lying, with his hands on his legs.
It's in the morning, and if it's the middle of the night, it's scary.
However, because this person was facing down and could not see his face, Mu Yuan couldn't be sure if he was the murderer.
Mu Yuan only watched the picture of less than 0.3 seconds, and it is conceivable that Liu Fei must have stopped the car, otherwise he couldn't just run over it, right?
Although Mu Yuan can also completely restore the entire scene with the help of the time regression charm, and watch all the passages from the perspective of God, it is ...... It's too extravagant.
Mu Yuan moved the time forward by two minutes and "took a screenshot" again.
In the picture, sign 508 has really stopped, and Liu Fei is walking in front of the person, looking at the action, he should be asking about the situation.
And in this picture, the man is still buried with his head buried.
I don't know if he has always maintained this action, or if he was too unlucky, and happened to meet the moment when he buried his head.
As for what was said, although the time regression charm can also allow the user to hear the sound, it takes too long to listen to a complete sentence, and Mu Yuan is reluctant.
Fortunately, Mu Yuan not only has a time regression charm, but also a skill point in criminal psychology that is about to be full, although he did not hear the other party's conversation, but from Liu Fei's expression, it can be judged that Liu Fei does not know this person lying on the ground.
This made Mu Yuan have some doubts in his heart.
It was strange enough for a person to lie on the road early in the morning, Mu Yuan once suspected that this person was the murderer, but now Liu Fei didn't know the other party, this ...... The logic doesn't make sense!
According to his previous speculation and that of the Linglan City police, these three murders should be vendettas.
The most significant aspect of vendetta is the acquaintance between the killer and the killed - if they don't know each other, what kind of grudge and resentment can there be?
While this theory isn't entirely correct, it works for most cases.
If this case is not a vendetta, to be honest, Mu Yuan will have a headache.
After all, the previous facial recognition failed to lock down the person's information, and originally wanted to find the scene of the crime by tracking the victim to determine the relationship between the murderer and the deceased, and then deduce the identity of the deceased.
Could it be that this person is the murderer, and the reason why he killed Liu Fei was because of some kind of contradiction that arose later?
If this was just a separate homicide, it would be okay to think so.
But now it's three serial murders, the murderer can't kill Liu Fei here because of a contradiction, and then kill someone else in another place because of a contradiction, right?
If that's the case, this bastard definitely deserves the title of murderer.
Or is this not a murderer?
Mu Yuan's heart moved, and he continued to move forward for two minutes.
The people are still there, and the cars are still there.
Liu Fei continued to talk to the man.
But this time, the man lying on the ground raised his head, which made Mu Yuan's heart suddenly condense.
This is the face!
It was completely in line with the people at the scene of the dumping of the body.
Moreover, from the other party's expression, he also saw a little.
His pain was faked, that is, he was lying in the middle of the road, deliberately trying to stop the car.
But new questions arise again.
He stopped Liu Fei's car in order to kill Liu Fei. This shows that he was premeditated.
Judging from this, the murderer should have known in advance that Liu Fei was going to take this road.
But the reason why Liu Fei walked on this road was entirely because a colleague invited him to go fishing.
So where did the killer get the news?
The Linglan City police had investigated before, and there were only a few news that Liu Fei was going fishing, and these people had ruled out the suspicion of committing the crime.
Is there something missing by the Linglan City police?
Or maybe the few people who knew about Liu Feifei's whereabouts lied......
At this moment, Mu Yuan really had an impulse, that is, to use the time rewind charm to listen to what they said, which might be helpful for solving the case.
But in the end he held back, unless it was really impossible to think about it, he was not prepared to use this method.
There is no answer for the time being, and he intends to continue reading.
The picture moved forward two minutes further, and Liu Fei actually helped the murderer open the car door - the door in the back row.
A picture instantly appeared in Mu Yuan's mind, the murderer took out the rope, instantly put it on the neck of Liu Fei, who was sitting in the cab, from behind, and then strangled him to death.
If Liu Fei had been strangled by a rope while he had been chained to a seat belt, the chances of him getting rid of it were slim.
This is also completely consistent with the injuries he was sustained.
But these still didn't solve Mu Yuan's doubts......
