"Wang, Wang......"

"Oh, what's wrong with you, dear!"

"Wang, Wang......"

"There's nothing interesting there, wouldn't we be able to go home early?"

"Wang, Wang......"

"What's the matter, ma'am?" a police car pulled up to the side of the road, asking if an elderly woman on the side of the road who was trying to hold her dog needed help.

"My George, he's always been very obedient, I don't know what's going on today!" the old woman explained to the police in embarrassment as she competed with her pet dog.

"Oh?" the policeman stopped the car and stepped out of it.

The old woman was holding a Great Dane, a dog so large that even a man in the prime of life would have the strength to hold it. However, the police noticed that the dog was howling incessantly in the trunk of a car on the side of the road.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, big guy?" the policeman squatted down to appease the disobedient big dog, but was coldly hit by the big dog and lost his balance, and the policeman picked up his hat from the ground in disbelief, and then stood up again.

"Officer, is there something wrong with that car, my George has always been very obedient, and I don't know what happened to him today!" The old woman saw that her dog had hit the policeman, and she was immediately frightened and quickly shirked her responsibility.

"Huh?" the policeman looked at the car in confusion, it was a blue Toyota, it looked like it was some years old, and the rear of the car was rusty in some places.

The cop circled the car and looked through the front windshield with his eyes, and nothing seemed wrong with the car.

The policeman came to the back of the car again, he looked at the license plate, and then called on the walkie-talkie: "Call the command center, please help me check a license plate, wan·0212"

"Request received, please wait a moment!"

……

"Officer, where are you now?"

"Where Occidental Park and Route 90 meet, in the parking lot on the banks of the Green River!"

"Please stay where you are, don't touch anything!

The command center's answer puzzled him, he subconsciously buckled the trunk of the car with his hand, but he didn't expect to open it, and when the trunk was lifted, a strong smell made the police almost vomit.

……

Half an hour later, Lin Xiuyi and Sean rushed to this parking lot at the junction of Western Park and Route 99. The scene has been completely taken over by the FBI. Just half an hour earlier, the FBI had received a report from Seattle police that the car belonging to the victim, Mary Brigitte Rice, had been found in a parking lot on the banks of the Green River at the junction of Western Park and Route 99, in addition to another naked female corpse in the trunk of the car.

Lin Xiuyi and Sean had to give up the search work at hand and rush to the scene of the crime. When they arrived here, they actually saw Director Musk, who rarely goes out to work.

"Sean, Lin, come and see this!" After Director Musk saw the two, he beckoned to them and called them aside.

Musk pointed to a newspaper in the bag of evidence and said angrily to Sean and Lin Xiuyi: "When we found the body, this newspaper was placed on top of the body, and the Green River killer was provoking us!"

It was a locally distributed Seattle newspaper with a front-page headline that read the question, "Who Can Catch the Green River Killer?" was so provocative that it was obvious.

"By the way, how far have you been pursuing Mary's clues?" asked Director Musk to Lin Xiuyi and Sean.

"We can already establish that Mary does have a child, for whom she used to hire a night nanny. But we haven't found Mary's place yet. Plus, it's this car......" Sean reported to Director Musk. At this moment, Lin Xiuyi suddenly asked:

"We want to see what the Scene Search Section has found, can we?"

……

After Lin Xiuyi said goodbye to Sean and Director Musk, he found the person in charge of the on-site search department, explained his intentions, and the person in charge took them to the place where the evidence was stored.

The body was found in the trunk of the car, wrapped in a clear plastic bag and bearing signs of long-term abuse. Just like the previous victims, this one was naked. There are marks of strangulation of rope on the neck.

The car had been carefully cleaned and no fingerprints or anything had been found, but it was found that the car was in the name of the victim, Mary Brigitte Rice, from the license plate and engine number of the car. In this way, there is a connection between the previous case and the one that was discovered today.

"This is already the sixth victim, and now it is less than a week before the last case. If you extrapolate the cooling-off period after the Green River Killer's killing, it's almost negligible. ”

"Looking at the age distribution of the current victims, the youngest is only 14 years old, and the oldest is over 30 years old. The only thing these people have in common is that they are suspected of having worked as ** on Route 90 during their lifetimes. It is precisely because of this characteristic of these people that their sudden disappearance often does not attract the attention of others. This also provides a certain amount of concealment for the Green River Killers to commit crimes. ”

"If I'm right, the Green River Killer is supposed to be a lust-driven indulgence killer who committed his first crime more than thirty years ago, and then, for unknown reasons, his criminal behavior was sealed, and thirty-five years later, the Green River Killer struck again for some reason. ”

"In addition to this, there is another point that deserves our attention. Each victim had been abused for a long time before his death, and the initial estimate was around one month. In the last case, the Green River killer killed three victims at once. This means that the Green River Killer should have a place to captive his prey. And each of the victims' lower bodies has been washed with bleach, and our previous understanding of the murderer's behavior was that he didn't want us to access his DNA, but I think there may be a layer of symbolism in this. ”

Lin Xiu had analyzed some of his thoughts to Sean these days, and now it seemed that the Green River Killer rarely left material traces at the crime scene. But today's provocative newspaper made Lin Xiuyi read something different. That's the attention that this Green River killer craves to win, and he is eager to challenge the police. At the same time, his modus operandi has a certain ritual, and bleach is the best example.

To sum up, a general impression began to form in Lin Xiuyi's mind......
