Chapter VI
Shi Mingliang distributed the photos in the materials to several people present and continued: "This is a photo of the footprints at the scene. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoLet me tell you about the second scene. ā
"The second scene is obviously much cleaner than the first scene, the victim is lying on his back on the ground, his hands clasped on his lower abdomen, and the scroll of paper in his hand is a printed image of the Virgin, and the blood stains on the statue of the Virgin are also the victim's. The clothes are neatly stacked on the side, not only neatly, but also in order, with the outer garment at the bottom and the underwear at the top. ā
"The victim had a small amount of change in his coat pocket, no cell phone or identification documents, no purse or purse. In addition, the top bra is missing a shoulder strap, and as a young girl, it is impossible for a young girl to wear a bra with less shoulder straps, so it should be taken by the murderer. ā
"Yes, the previous three cases also lacked a bra strap." Deng Xiaoyan, a criminal police officer of the sub-bureau, said, "There is also a statue of Our Lady at the scene. ā
Ning Zhiyuan nodded: "Please let the two of you introduce the previous three cases." "Okay," Deng Xiaoyan motioned for Zhang Chao to hand the three files he brought to Ning Zhiyuan, opened his notepad and said, "The previous three cases occurred in May of the previous year, July and October last year. In the first two cases, the clothes were not neatly stacked, and the statue of the Virgin was pressed under the corpse. There is only the first scene, there is no second scene. ā
"The one in October last year was very similar to the current one, the clothes were neatly folded, the first scene was not far from the second scene, and the body was also placed, lying on his back, with his hands clasped on his lower abdomen, holding a rolled-up image of the Virgin. In all three cases, a shoulder strap on the left side of the bra was missing. The deceased were all students in a university town, did not live on campus, and lived outside in a shared house or rented a rented house alone. ā
"The first deceased was strangled after being hit on the head with a brick. The latter two deceased were strangled with one hand, and judging from the neck marks, the killers were left-handed. The three deceased did not have boyfriends at the time of the murder, but none of them were virgins, and they all had a history of abortions. But it was only violated, and it was not ...... before and after like the deceased now" Deng Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment and drafted his words, "In short, there is no such big damage, it is just a simple violation." ā
"There were no fingerprints left at the scene, and shoe prints were found, but they were not clear. Judging from the shoe prints, the height and weight of the murderer are basically consistent with this case. We have conducted a search on the acquaintances of the deceased in the first few cases and found no suspicious persons. Therefore, it is inferred that the murderer was not a person known to the deceased, and it was a random crime. It's just that there are too few clues, and there has been no breakthrough. ā
"There is a statue of the Virgin at every scene, is this murderer a Christian?" Chen Feng scratched his head in confusion and said. "We were skeptical at first." Zhang Chao, a criminal police officer of the sub-bureau, said, "The location of the university town originally belonged to the suburbs, and it was later allocated to the urban area after the university town was built. In the past, it was similar to the countryside, with farmland and vegetable fields, many farmers were Christians, and there were churches in the area. Of course, the church there is not comparable to a regular church, just a few houses with a cross on the roof. We went to investigate, but we didn't find any valuable clues. ā
"The statue of Our Lady does not necessarily mean that the murderer is a Christian." Ning Zhiyuan pondered and said, "If it is really a believer, why put a statue of Our Lady instead of a cross or a picture of Jesus." "If you're not a believer, is there any special meaning in this?" Fang Jianye asked inexplicably.
"There must be an allegorical meaning." Ning Zhiyuan tapped his index finger on the table, "At present, the identity of the deceased in this case is not clear, but like the deceased in the previous three cases, they are all young girls around twenty years old, and they have all had abortions. Both Christianity and Catholicism believe that abortion is a sin and is punishable by the Lord. ā
"Does the murderer think he's punishing them on behalf of the Lord?" Chen Feng said incredulously, "Who does he think he is?" Jesus? ā
"No, maybe the murderer is not punishment, but hatred." Ning Zhiyuan waved his hand, "He hates these irresponsible women, thinking that they only want to sow evil results for a short time, but they cruelly deprive others of their lives." But he didn't realize that his behavior was also depriving them of their right to live. Judging from the statue of the Virgin, the murderer specifically selected the target of the crime, rather than committing the crime randomly. ā
"So, the murderer is still someone who knew the deceased?" Deng Xiaoyan frowned, "But we have all checked, and there are no people who know the deceased who are eligible." Could it be a coincidence that the deceased had all had abortions*? ā
"No, it won't." Ning Zhiyuan shook his head, "The murderer doesn't necessarily know the deceased. I don't think it's a coincidence that all four of the deceased had abortions*. The murderer singled out this kind of person, and the target was finally determined after tracking. Judging from the traces left at the scene, the murderer was a calm person who should have had a history of failed marriages and perhaps an unhappy childhood. He hated women, especially women who irresponsibly killed their own children. ā
"The fact that the murderer can strangle a young girl with one hand shows that he has a strong physique and great strength. The first deceased was first hit on the head and then strangled to death because it was his first time committing the crime and he was not sure whether he could directly strangle the deceased. After that, when you have experience, you don't take the way of hitting anymore. ā
"And as the number of crimes committed by the murderer increased, he also began to become unhurried, he moved the deceased to a neat place and laid it out, folded clothes neatly, put the statue of the Virgin Mary, and only then left the scene."
"The murderer will not be too young or too old, because he is young, he will not be so bold in doing things, and he will not be so organized." Ning Zhiyuan continued to analyze, "Older people don't have as much strength as him. I estimate that the murderer should be between thirty-five and forty-five years old. Divorced, no children or children taken away by the woman, should still be single at the moment. This person has a more introverted personality and is even a little paranoid. And he has a certain anti-reconnaissance ability, which is well disguised in peacetime. ā
"Well, Team Ning deserves to be the elite of our public security system in City D!" Zhang Chao sincerely admired, "Why didn't we think of these things before." ā
Ning Zhiyuan smiled humbly: "I'm just doing a simple analysis based on some clues I have now. That's a lot of ground, and there's a lot of work to do. Although the case has now been transferred to our special case team, we still need the cooperation of the criminal police team of your substation. ā
