After Shao Dong finished speaking, Wang Bo also pouted in embarrassment, although he just said it casually, but it was also a judgment of his subconscious, but this kind of judgment that was not well thought out was not helpful in the case.

However, after carefully thinking about the question raised by Shao Dong before, coupled with what he said just now, Wang Bo also fell into deep thought.

Also in contemplation is Wu Wei.

Wu Wei is a forensic doctor with outstanding experience and business ability, but he has a characteristic, that is, he likes to toss some things in his spare time that ordinary people can't understand, although he has strong business ability, but this guy always likes something that has nothing to do with his own work and is strange.

For example, he is a senior military fan, and for example, his interest in solving cases and reasoning is far greater than dissection and autopsy.

After pondering for a while, Wang Bo spoke again and said: "Do you say that this will be the case, because the murderer wants to scare the victim to death, but he didn't use any method to scare him to death, he just used words to stimulate him or something, just like Wang Hu's situation at that time?"

"Rest. Wu Wei said angrily: "It is entirely possible to use words to complete psychological suggestion, cause the organs to gradually weaken, and then achieve the effect of death."

But Xu Ping's situation is different, he was psychologically stimulated, and he was directly scared to death, you say, what does the murderer have to tell him? In order to scare him to death, or you can say one, scare me to death? I see what flowers you can name?"

To be honest, Wang Bo also felt quite helpless, he is the kind of rectum, he will say whatever comes to mind, of course, this also depends on the situation, if it is not with Shao Dong and Wu Wei, he will be much more cautious when he speaks.

At the moment, when Shao Dong was still silent, Wang Bo said again: "Could it be that the murderer wants to play a strong psychological stimulation and must cooperate with the victim to tie him up?"

For example, if you show him a horror movie, such as the famous film in the island country, doesn't it mean that when that movie was released in the cinema at that time, it scared people to death? Scared Xu Ping to death, I'm afraid it's not that difficult, right?"

This is possible, because there are some horror movies that can indeed bring strong psychological stimulation to people, and it is not impossible for those with weak psychological tolerance to be scared to death.

But Shao Dong, who was silent, shook his head and said: "Unrealistic, first, if the victim wakes up and finds himself tied up, the first reaction is to escape, struggle and resist, instead of having the leisure to watch the movie that the murderer showed him, if you are still in the mood to watch the movie prepared for him by the murderer, then the victim's psychology is not fragile, but powerful and terrifying."

Second, the horror created by horror movies needs to be edified by the atmosphere, and this atmosphere needs several key points, the first is the environment, the second is the mood, in that case, the environment is okay, but the mood will definitely not achieve the desired effect, even if the murderer puts the video in front of the victim's eyes and forces him to watch it with a knife, the victim's mood cannot be fully invested.

Therefore, from these two points, the murderer will not achieve any effect by using this method. ”

In fact, Shao Dong also thought about this problem before, but he was quickly overthrown by him, because doing so could not achieve the murderer's desired goal.

As soon as he said this, Wang Bo was stunned, he really couldn't understand why the murderer wanted to scare the victim to death, and he had to take the trouble to knock him unconscious, and he had to tie him up.

In the end, Wang Bo said helplessly: "Then I can only think of a little, the murderer knocked out and tied up the victim, in fact, it was not his purpose, his purpose was just a ritual, simply put, it was a ritual killing." ”

Ritual killing?

Wang Bo's statement made Shao Dong's eyes shine, at home and abroad, some murderers do pay great attention to the sense of ritual when they are murderers, killing people is not their goal, and the pursuit of perfect rituals is the root of their crimes.

In Xu Ping's case, although from the current point of view, there is a lack of understanding of the ritual of killing, but if you think of the deaths of his grandfather, grandmother and mother, it is different.

Because in the past three cases, including Xu Ping's case, there was a very important ceremony.

Thinking of this, Shao Dong said: "Wang Bo, do you remember, all the dead people in the Xu Laohan family have one thing in common, which can also be said to be the same ritual. ”

"You mean, the inexplicable sound of the death knell?" Wang Bo also reacted immediately.

Yes, that's the ritual!

In itself, the ringing of the death knell is an ancient ritual, a type of death ritual.

In the Xu family, the death of everyone should not have sounded the death knell of this death ritual, but it was inexplicably sounded.

This shows that the murderer attaches great importance to this sense of ritual, in other words, the murderer pursues this ritual, and of course, it is also possible that this ritual has some special meaning for the murderer.

"If it's just a ceremony, it doesn't make sense. Wu Wei shook his head and said: "In the history of homicide, there are all kinds of rituals, but all rituals have one thing in common, that is, beauty, whether it is aesthetics in the traditional sense or non-traditional aesthetics of violence, but they can't escape a beautiful word."

For example, in a serial murder case on Treasure Island many years ago, the murderer would tie a beautiful bow to the deceased after killing everyone, which was his sense of ritual, and in this ritual, he chased traditional aesthetics.

And on the other side of the ocean, there is also a serial murder case, the murderer will cut off the victim's right hand, left foot after killing someone, and then fix the body in a peculiar posture on a tree, or a boulder, a chair, this is also a ritual, but this belongs to the category of violent aesthetics. ”

Regarding Wu Wei's statement, Shao Dong nodded, he recalled the cases of ritual killings he knew, indeed, as Wu Wei said, every ritual killing, no matter what kind of ritual is used, but it can't get rid of a beautiful word.

It's those perverted paranoia, the last paranoia.

Moreover, the murderers of ritual murder are almost all perfectionist seekers, and they definitely do not indiscriminately fill the numbers.

If you look at these points, Xu Ping's case definitely does not reach the point of ritual killing.

But what makes Shao Dong helpless is that in several cases in the past few decades, including Xu Ping's case, there has been a basis for ritual killing.

At least, the fact that the murderer rings the death knell once every time a person is killed is already a type of ritual killing. The sense of ritual of the murderer's chase is already greater than his pursuit of murder, and of course, such a murderer is the most terrifying.

Because they are no longer satisfied with killing, they are pursuing the perfection of the ritual.

"If it weren't for ritual killing, what the murderer did would make some sense, because it is obvious that the murderer's murderous method wastes a lot of time and energy, and increases the possibility of his own exposure, which is not in the interests of the murderer. ”

Although Wang Bo likes to talk about it, his analysis sometimes makes some sense, after all, he has been a scout for so many years, and he still has the ability to observe and think.

"Could it be that the murderer needs to prepare a lot of things to psychologically stimulate the victim, but before the murderer committed the murder, everything was not ready, and in desperation, he first knocked the victim unconscious, and then made these preparations when the victim was unconscious?"

Wu Wei also has his own opinions, but his views are similar to Wang Bo's previous views.

Shao Dong didn't answer his question, but said: "Actually, if you put the case of Xu Ping's grandparents and his mother together, then this case already has the basis for ritual killing." At least in these cases, there is the same ritual, that is, the death knell is inexplicably sounded. ”

"Yes. Wang Bo also nodded and said: "This is a ritual in itself, but we don't seem to know much about this kind of ritual, but anyway, the murderer rings the death knell every time he kills someone, which shows that he attaches great importance to this issue and has taken it as a very important thing to do." ”

Speaking of this, Shao Dong was very remorseful in his heart, in fact, they should be close to the murderer today, because when they went to Xihe Village today, the death knell on the mountain had just been sounded.

Shao Dong didn't believe that something was knocked out inexplicably, he only believed one thing, that is, someone really sounded the death knell, as for what method the murderer used, although Shao Dong didn't know anything, but he understood that some methods were definitely used, and, most likely, the murderer was on the mountain at the time, very close to them, very close.

Because Shao Dong didn't connect the death knell with Xu Ping's death at all, he directly ignored such a great opportunity, and when they knew the connection between the two, the time had passed.

Putting aside these lost clues, Shao Dong said: "If Xu Ping, his grandparents and his mother were all killed by the same murderer, then the only common point between these four cases is that when the four people died, the death knell on the mountain was sounded, as for the reason, it is unknown! But this shows a problem, the murderer has a kind of paranoid insistence on ringing the death knell."

More than 30 years have passed, and his paranoia is still there, which shows that the murderer's character is very persistent, in other words, he is very stubborn, such a person, once he decides to do something, ordinary people cannot change him.

However, this is also corroborated by his actions of killing four people over the past thirty years. ”

After Shao Dong finished speaking, Wang Bo shook his head and said: "One thing I don't understand, if the murderer is targeting Xu Laohan's family to carry out similar revenge killings, why is the interval between the four murders getting longer and longer?"
