Chapter 58 Geography of Crime
Lu Da suddenly raised his head, the morning light outside the forest was like wisps, and the haze gradually melted, "What did you kid see?" β
"It's clear." Twilight said, going straight out of the forest, "Go to the river." β
The grass by the river was dense and the stone was green, and Du Qing stood beside the blood-stained stone, turning to look at Lu Da and Han Qichu who were following, "The more the murderer commits crimes, the easier it is to analyze his psychological map, behavioral laws and spiritual belongings in connection with the crime location." From the eve before to this morning, three cases, three crime locations, the trail, the forest, and the riverside, the crime locations are not related, but the places where the bodies were dumped have something in common - in the forest! The night before and this morning, after the murderers killed people on the trail and by the river, they moved the deceased to the forest, and the first scene of the crime was not in the same place as the place where the body was dumped. But the one in the early hours of yesterday morning was different, the first scene of the crime and the place where the body was dumped were in the same place, because the deceased was in the forest when he was killed. β
"The murderers of perverted homicides kill people mostly to satisfy fantasies. They fantasize about the murder scene, imagining themselves as a person with a special mission, or a high-ranking master, imposing sanctions or control on the victim, so their mode of crime is often strongly personal, and the more crimes they commit, the easier it will be to draw their criminal psychology and criminal geography map. In all three cases, the murderer's body was dumped in the forest, and if the deceased had not been killed in the forest, he would have killed the person and taken him to the forest. For him, the location of the jungle is not a simple place to dump corpses, but a sacred place for him to exercise control, because for him the murder is not the point, the point is the process of stripping the dead like prey, disemboweling, violently tearing, and hanging them from the trees, this process is where the pleasure of his control and domination lies. And these important processes were all completed in the forest, and all three cases were without exception. So I think the jungle is his preference. β
Lu Da frowned and listened, and after listening, his brows tightened even tighter, "There are not many in this mountain, the forests are everywhere!" How do I know where to catch that wolf cub? β
This kid is clearly referring to this?
It's useless!
"There are forests everywhere in the mountains, but in the woods five miles away from here, I think our chances of meeting the murderer will be much higher." Twilight Road.
Lu Da's face changed, "What are you five miles away?" Don't sell it, don't sell it, make it clear to Lao Tzu! β
Twilight Qing's eyes were cold, and she said, "I never sell Guanzi, I don't like to talk nonsense when I analyze the case, and the general will know that what I say is useful after listening patiently." β
Lu Da pinched his tight eyebrows irritably, be patient! What he lacks most now is patience!
"Alright! You say, Lao Tzu doesn't interrupt you! β
"General, do you remember, how far is Qingfeng Lake from our camp during the drill the night before?" Twilight asked.
"Five miles!" Lu Dadao, that is the place he designated to go, how can he forget?
"How far is the big tent in the army from our tent?" Twilight asked again.
ββ¦β¦ Five miles! β
"The big tent in the army is not far from the place where the crime occurred in the early hours of yesterday morning, that is to say, the place where the crime occurred yesterday is five miles away from our camp tent. And this morning we traveled ten miles to come, which means that there is a gap of five miles between yesterday and today's crime scene! As I said, the more murderers commit crimes, the easier it is to draw a map of the criminal mind and the geography of crime. Now, the geographical map of the murderer's crime has been clear, killing one person in five miles, and throwing his body in the dense forest. β
When Lu Da and Han Qi first heard this, there was excitement in their eyes.
Five miles! They didn't even notice!
In this way, it is only necessary to lay in an ambush in the forest five miles away, and it is possible to catch the murderer! In the forest five miles away, although the scope of ambush is not small, it has been reduced to the exciting Cheng dΓΉ compared to the entire Qingzhou Mountain.
"But......" Han Qichu was a little worried, "these three cases are all five miles apart, so can you be sure that the next one will be five miles away?" What if the murderer is on a whim and is separated by ten miles and eight miles? β
"No, it won't." Twilight shook her head firmly, "The murderer's mode of committing crimes in perverted homicides has a strong personal color, and once a pattern makes him feel happy, he will not change it lightly. Unless, he felt threatened at the time of the crime. β
In the perverted murder case she was asked to investigate in her previous life, there is indeed a murderer who will constantly change the mode of committing the crime and fight wits and courage with the police. But that is under the condition of continuous investigation by the police, in order not to be caught, the murderer will constantly change and improve the mode of crime.
"At present, the murderer has committed three crimes, and we have been led by the nose by the murderer three times, following behind him to cover up the truth about the death of the recruit, and tired of calming the hearts of the soldiers. We are now prey to the murderer's play, not yet seen as an adversary, he does not feel threatened, so he will not change his mode of committing crimes, but will be happy to appreciate our scramble. β
Lu Da's face was gloomy again, and Han Qichu didn't say anything, obviously Twilight Qing's explanation had convinced him.
"Since the murderer's mode of committing the crime will not change lightly, the law of the murderer's crime time has also been clarified. On the eve before and in the early hours of yesterday morning, the murderer seemed to kill two people in one night, but it was two days in real time, and it was early in the morning today. So, the murderer's pattern is to kill one person a day. Since he had already killed people today, he would not do it until midnight tonight, and the time for him to commit the crime again was set to be from midnight to midnight. β
Twilight Qing looked at Lu Da and concluded: "Five miles away here, in the dense forest near the camp, tonight from midnight to early morning, the lone recruit - if these four conditions are met, we can meet the murderer!" β
The young man turned around and bathed in the morning glow, so thin and cold, but it made the hearts of those who saw it surging.
Lu Da and Han Qichu were both breathless, and Lu Da turned around to make arrangements.
"I'm not done yet." Twilight said.
Lu Da stopped and turned around, "And?" β
"And." Twilight said, "Just now I was talking about the murderer's criminal geography map, and now I'm going to talk about his criminal psychology map. β
Criminal Minds Map?
Lu Da frowned, what is that?
"I just said that the murderer prefers to commit crimes in the jungle. Not a jungle to be exact, but a jungle in the night. The trees and grass in the forest are dense and deep, and the night is dark and dark, much like a secluded space, dark and claustrophobic. This is not an environment that most people enjoy, and people who like it are mostly withdrawn and extremely insecure. Insecurity is mostly caused by childhood, and most perverts are emotionally traumatized. Our murderer chooses dark, claustrophobic places to control and dictate the lives and deaths of others, and I guess he was traumatized in a similar place as a child. He had been dominated and dominated in a dark and claustrophobic place, so he now chose the same place to dominate others, to prove that he was strong enough to be the master of this place that once scared him. β
This is the same reason that children who have been subjected to domestic violence since childhood usually become perpetrators of domestic violence when they grow up.
"The murderer is a smart man, why do you think he killed one person in five miles? He is not just a murderer, he is a Hu man, and the brutal killing of the Northwest New Army will not be just for fun, but also to disturb the morale of our army. The army was encamped in the mountains, and it took some hours to spread ten miles, but it was much shorter to spread five miles. Five miles is the most advantageous distance for him, and the shorter it is, the more likely he will be found by us. So, the murderer is not only smart, but also cunning. β
"Also, the battle on the front line is tight, the Northwest Army and the Wuhu Coalition Army are fighting fiercely, and the murderer is going deep behind the enemy line, messing with my 50,000 new troops by means of one person, what a great sense of accomplishment and high military achievements!" Twilight snorted.
Lu Da was excited, and his face became gloomy again.
"Now, the characteristics of the murderer are very full - cunning, brutal, bold, living in darkness in his childhood, longing for military exploits, being able to do light work, and being vigorous." Twilight Qing looked at Lu Da and asked, "General Lu has been in the northwest for many years and has fought countless battles against the Hu people, so maybe he thinks of someone who fits these characteristics?" This person can go deep into the hinterland of my Daxing and find the training route of my new army in the northwest, it is difficult to succeed with the strength of one person, and it requires many hidden internal responses and news networks, he must not be a nobody, but in a high position! Can anyone match this? β
Lu Da was already holding his breath when he heard half of it, and after listening to Twilight Qing's words, there was surprise in his eyes!
Twilight raised her eyebrows, knowing that she had it.
"Yes, yes, but why is this wolf cub in Qingzhou?" Lu Da twisted his eyebrows and said, "What you kid said can only make Lao Tzu think of a person - Hu Yanhao, the third prince of Di!" Hu Yanhao is the third son of the old Di Wang, his background is not good, his mother is a slave captured back when the tribes fight, Di people treat slaves like cattle and sheep, he has lived in the cattle and sheep pen with his mother since he was a child, and he heard that he was bullied by other princes and warriors. When he was fifteen years old, our general rode alone, won the head of the king of Rong in the army, and the war shook the world! In that battle, the old Di king almost died under the arrows of our general, he didn't know which horn to pounce out of, saved his father's life, and was taken by the old Di king from then on, often led the army to harass the border pass, and acted really cunning and cruel. Over the years, King Di's old immortal was dying, and his sons fought fiercely for the throne. Some time ago, Hu Yanhao killed the first warrior under his eldest brother's command, and was told by his eldest brother to go to King Di, and the old King Di punished him to see the pasture. He didn't even get to the battlefield of the Northwest War, how could he be in this Qingzhou Mountain? β
"It's hard to say." The interface was Han Qichu, "How does the general know that Hu Yanhao's visit to the ranch is not a scene played by King Di and him?" Even if he was really punished, how did he know that he would not find a way out for himself? If it is really as Brother Zhou said, he can mess with my 50,000 new troops with his own strength, not only can he turn over and return to the king's tent to compete for the throne, but there will be enough more famous generals in the world from now on. β
Lu Da frowned and said nothing, what Han Qichu said made sense.
Twilight said: "In this case, the next thing is up to General Lu." Since General Lu has dealt with our murderer, he should know his style of acting, and he will be rounded up tonight, but don't let him run away. β
This is the reason why she took great pains to analyze the psychological portrait of the murderer, the murderer is cunning, and he may not be able to catch him if he encounters him, Lu Daneng guesses who he is, it is different, and he has a lot more chances of winning!
"Don't worry!" Lu Dayi patted Dui Qing on the shoulder, "Grab this wolf cub, Lao Tzu will give you the first credit!" β
This time, Du Qing and Han Qichu did not return to the big tent in the army with Lu Da, but returned directly to their camp. Along the way, you can hear the recruits talking about it, and sure enough, word has spread! But most of the recruits only knew about this morning, and the events of the previous two days, except for the hundred recruits in the camp near Dusk, were only the new recruits who were killed yesterday.
When the two returned to the tent, they saw Zhang Tong waiting outside the tent, and the rest of the tent was placed with curtains, and it was quiet inside.
Zhang Tong stared at Du Qing with a calm face and asked, "Yesterday, the whole army was under martial law during the war, something happened, right?" β
Twilight didn't answer, asking, "What about them?" β
Zhang Tong snorted, "Do you think only you can control it?" It's all in the old bear's tent! β
Twilight Qing and Han Qichu went straight to the old bear tent, hundreds of recruits were crowded in the big tent, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, they could feel the panic and oppressive atmosphere inside, and when they saw the two coming back, everyone didn't have to speak, and their eyes were full of doubts and fears.
The old bear got up and asked, "What's the situation?" It's all over the outside! β
"One of the men died, by the murderer we saw that night. But Brother Zhou has already calculated where the murderer will do it next, General Lu will send someone to round up, and General Lu will come to talk about this matter later, you are at ease. Han Qichu said.
Hearing that Lu Da was coming, the frightened expressions of the recruits calmed down a little.
Only Zhang Tong asked Twilight, "Do you know where the murderer will appear next time?" β
He asked urgently, apparently wanting to avenge the dead recruit.
In addition to analyzing the case, Twilight will talk more, and she has always been concise on weekdays, and she doesn't open her mouth if she can. Han Qichu had already understood her temperament, so he patted Zhang Tong on the shoulder and sighed: "Brother Zhang, wait for General Lu to come." β
Lu Da came an hour later, Lao Xiong let the head of the tent, Lu Da didn't say anything about yesterday, only told the story of this morning, and said: "Lao Tzu thought it was a horse bandit, but just now I knew that it was a Hu person!" Damn, Hu Ren cub, dare to kill my Northwest New Army! Lao Tzu led the army to surround him in person tonight, and if he was not captured to avenge his brothers in the army, Lao Tzu swore not to be a man! β
Lu Da didn't say that it was Hu Yanhao, the third prince of Di, this matter was just his speculation, and he didn't really see anyone and didn't count.
"Hu Ren?" The old bear was shocked, there were Hu people in this Qingzhou Mountain?
"Lao Tzu doesn't know how to get in, but it is impossible for the Hu army to bypass my northwest border pass and go deep into the hinterland of Qingzhou, and only a few people can come. Damn! Dare to play the 50,000 troops of the Northwest New Army as a monkey, Lao Tzu will surround him tonight! Lu said angrily, glancing at the hundred recruits in the tent, "But this matter can't be leaked out, so as not to startle the snake, Lao Tzu only plans to bring two thousand elite soldiers and your battalion and this morning's recruits, do you dare to follow Lao Tzu to avenge the dead brother?" Do you dare to fight with the elite army and kill a few of his mother's Hu people before the northwest? β
When people face the unknown, fear spreads like a plague, and once the truth is known, reason is easy to return to the brain.
Lu Da asked, and the recruits were already awe-inspiring.
Fighting with the elite army is an opportunity that cannot be sought, killing Hu people can not only make military merits, but also avenge the dead brother, killing three birds with one stone, who would disagree?
"Dare!"
Suddenly, the sound of oaths filled the tent.
When the voice fell, Twilight said, "To lure the snake out of the hole, you need bait, someone has to pretend to be a lone recruit, I can do this." β
As soon as these words came out, the recruits were stunned.
"No way!" Two voices came out in unison, Lu Da and Zhang Tong.
"Lao Tzu will arrange this matter, don't worry about it!" Lu Dayi waved his hand, he couldn't let this kid take risks, this kid was a talent, he had to take him back to the northwest to recommend him to the general, but he couldn't let him die in the hands of Hu Renzi by accident.
"General, that night's drill, I didn't bring good soldiers, I didn't find that anyone was left behind, and people could not have died...... I beg this bait for me to be the bait! Please give me a chance to avenge my soldiers with my own hands! Zhang Tong asked for battle, and glanced at Twilight Qing with a complicated look.
"You can't, you're impatient and aggressive, and being a bait will startle the snake." Twilight Road.
"Are you okay? Tuesday egg, you don't even plan to give me a chance to avenge the soldiers? I used to look down on you, and you have a personal vendetta against you? Zhang Tongtong smiled.
"You two don't fight!" Lu angrily slapped the table.
"General, I'm willing to be a bait!" At this time, one person spoke up, making Lu Da, Du Qing and Zhang Tong all look over.
I saw that the man was a new soldier, with a thin body, a mediocre appearance, and the only pair of eyes with a cold look, which was unforgettable.
This person is not Dusk Qing's soldier, she has no impression of him, it should be Zhang Tong's soldier that night, Zhang Tong frowned and refused, "No!" You can't take any chances! β
The soldier didn't look at Zhang Tong, the army hugged each other, and directly asked Lu Da for his life, "General, I ask for my life as a bait!" β
Lu Da raised his eyebrows suddenly, it is one thing to follow his elite soldiers to round up Hu Ren, and it is another thing to be a bait, not everyone has the courage to take risks alone, especially when they have seen how their comrades died tragically. Look at the hundred recruits in the tent, let them fight with the army, they have morale, ask them to be bait, few dare to stand up. These recruits have been trained in the future, and they may not be good men, but at the moment they are just recruits who have been trained for more than a month, except for wearing military uniforms and guarding military discipline, they are no different from ordinary people!
He had planned to let his elite soldiers do this bait, but now that this kid is quite bold, he can't help but want to change his mind. In the army, if you want to become a fierce general, you must first become a brave soldier, and you can't make great achievements in the army if you are afraid of death. This new army is the new blood of the Northwest Army, he expects them to become big as soon as possible, and he refuses to be a bait because this kid is too talented, he doesn't want him to make any mistakes, and he refuses Zhang Tong because he is impatient and aggressive, and he is not suitable for being a bait. But the kid in front of him seemed to be calm, and since he was bold, he wanted to give him a chance.
Lu Da's mood is rarely a little cloudy, and there are really a few good soldiers under Lao Xiong!
"Do you really have the guts?" Lu Da asked.
"General?" Zhang Tong looked at Lu Da anxiously.
Lu Da frowned fiercely, "You want to avenge your soldiers, Lao Tzu promises to give you the opportunity to rush ahead, but you can't bait!" β
Zhang Tong clenched his fists and bowed his head, his face sad.
The soldier clenched his fists and said, "Yes!" May you avenge your dead brother! β
"Good!" There was a look of appreciation in Lu Da's eyes, and he slapped the table, "Then Lao Tzu will give you a chance!" β
"General Xie!"
"General." Twilight and the recruit spoke up at about the same time.
Lu Da raised his head and glared at her, "Don't fight anymore, Lao Tzu has decided, this is a military order!" β
"I want to say that I know the murderer's modus operandi best, and since he is going to be a bait, I want to talk to him about the murderer alone, and he should be prepared."
Lu Da was stunned for a moment, and his face gradually softened, "Okay, go ahead, don't go far." β
Twilight nodded, and walked out of the tent with the soldier. The two went into the woods, but did not go into the depths, but as soon as they entered the woods, they stopped, and the tent outside could be seen clearly, and if anyone came, they could see it at a glance.
Seeing that there was no one around, Twilight Qing looked at the soldier and asked, "Your master asked you to come?" βββ
