Chapter 4 Suspects' Camouflage Techniques
"Well done. At least we now have the direction of the investigation, and we know the characteristics of the suspect's crime and modus operandi. You see, the fourth victim was dumped in the downtown area. Looking at the other victims who were dumped, did you find anything in common? "After the criticism, I should also give a sweet date encouragement, after all, I did find a lot of useful information.
Zheng Min also followed us to investigate some cases, and immediately reacted to what I was going to say: "You mean that these victims who were dumped at the scene dumped their bodies were dumped at the scene after killing them by other means because the suspect could not retaliate at the scene." ”
"That's right." I agreed with Zheng Min's statement, "You see, the body of the victim who was thrown away is obviously stronger than the victim who was killed at the scene, and you see the victim who was directly killed at the scene, their occupation gave the suspect a good shelter, and the first murder scene of the victim who was directly killed at the scene was generally in a place where the nightclub was concentrated, and this kind of place gave the suspect a good cover, and no one would go to explore what a man and a woman were doing in the middle of the night." And if you look at the suspect's method of killing, almost all of the victims who were killed directly at the scene were killed with one hit, and those who were dumped at the scene had scars on their bodies, especially their heads. ”
"Indicates that the suspect is physically limited and is unable or does not believe that he can deal with a victim who is stronger than himself. The little man looked really suspicious. Zheng Min followed my train of thought.
"There is no evidence yet that there is a direct link between the little men and the deaths of these people." I glanced at Zheng Min, "And you should have been following the suspect for many days, right?" ”
Really allergic blushed, and glanced to the side to stop looking at me, the boss came out of the kitchen when he bargained is the two of us silent expressions, the boss asked me with his lips: "You two haven't solved it yet?" ”
"I guessed right, leaving the little girl speechless, and now she doesn't want to talk to me." I simply flipped through the materials on the table.
"I didn't." Zheng Min quibbled.
"Then let's talk about the characteristics of the man you're following now, what will you find after so many days of tracking?" I glanced at the date on my phone, "I'm going to enter the Scorpio Palace soon." ”
Zheng Min turned his head again: "We have two suspects. ”
"Two?" I looked at and motioned for Zheng Min to continue.
Zheng Min pondered for a moment: "To be precise, we don't suspect more than two people. It's not because as long as it's a small man, it's the object of our suspicion. Zheng Min hurriedly explained for fear that I would misunderstand, "We also have our own judgments. We didn't notice the temporal dimension, but we found something else. Jin Hao and I have different views on the fact that there is no DNA left in the victim's body, will we commit violence just to cover up our identity? ”
"What do you mean?"
Zheng Min said: "We have not ruled out female suspects. Zheng Min noticed that his expression was a little strict, and softened his expression and said: "We also paid attention to the two states of the victim - killing on the spot and transferring and dumping the body, which the two of us guessed like you, thinking that the suspect was unable to directly kill some of the victims on the spot because of his own physical reasons. Therefore, we did not rule out the possibility that the female murderer committed the crime, and the posthumous sexual assault was ruled out as a perverted crime, and it may also be the murderer's cover-up action in order to interfere with the direction of the investigation and disrupt the direction of the investigation. ”
Speaking of which, the boss added: "Xiao Min is right, there have been previous surveys that show that 10% of rape cases do not fall under the traditional definition of the word, because 9% of the victims are men, and the other 1% are women either the victim or the perpetrator. So on the point that there is no DNA remaining, I also reserve the opinion that there are female suspects. By the way, lunch is ready, do you want to eat something first? ”
Zheng Min looked at me, and I nodded and began to clean up the table. Because it was already autumn, the boss stewed hot potato brisket for us to eat, and at first we could still maintain the good rule of not saying anything, but because the three of them were thinking about the case, we started a new round of discussion ten minutes later: "Zheng Min, tell me about the situation of the two people you have been following recently, right?" ”
Zheng Min nodded and said, "I'll first talk about the suspect I've been following recently." I also said that I do not rule out the possibility of female murderers, after all, in terms of physical affairs, it still takes a lot of strength for ordinary women to kill men directly. Men have an absolute predominance in terms of body, but I have seen female victims among those who have been transferred and dumped. Unless the male murderer had a significant physical handicap, it was impossible not to be able to subdue those female victims on the spot. I've seen the information of female victims who have been photographed in the European style. Their muscle structure is not much different from that of ordinary people, only slightly stronger than those of women who were killed on the spot, but it is not uncontrollable for men. So I think the probability of a male murderer and a female murderer is fifty-fifty. ”
I thought about it and agreed with her current statement: "That's true, and I just glanced at the two female victims who first caught your attention, and the female colleagues of the victims who participated in the investigation only said that they saw small men pestering them, but they were only subjective, and they didn't even depict a specific appearance. ”
"At that time, the colleagues of the two victims said that he was wearing a hat with a low brim, and it was difficult to see his appearance." Zheng Min added to explain.
I was even more convinced of my own opinion: "This is it. ”
Zheng Min smiled clearly: "I also saw this and became suspicious, the two victims didn't know each other, and their friends didn't intersect, but they both mentioned that people with the same dress and height had pestered the victims, so these people are definitely not lying, and there is indeed such a person." So after confirming that there was a real person, I was pretty sure that the person in the description was deliberately disguising himself. No one has spoken to him except for the victim, so it is really impossible to determine the gender of the person. After I knew this, the first thing I wondered was how this person could get into a place like a nightclub, you know that there are usually strong security guards there, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get in, or that such a strangely dressed person will also make a deep impression on the security guards there. But when I asked where I was working at the time, no one had any influence on a small man in a hat, and I wondered if the person who sent the victim had not entered the club through the gate, but had been an employee of the club in the first place. In addition, you have also seen the video I gave you, the last victim once went to our company, and finally ran out in a hurry, but no other suspicious person appeared, which means that the person who panicked the girl that day must have been the person who worked in the building, at least its appearance will not arouse anyone's suspicion. So I first looked for the list of employees in our company and the places where the seventh and eighth victims worked, and found no overlap. ”
"Nightclubs don't hire clerks directly, but have contracts with many service companies, right?" I wondered for a moment,
Zheng Min nodded immediately: "That's right, I didn't find anything at first, but I found that their employees with few positions were insured." When I looked down, I found that apart from the security guard and a small number of administrative and waitress, the staff in charge of cleaning and equipment maintenance belonged to a property company. They have a contract with the property company, so a large part of the staff is not part of the staff of the two nightclubs. Coincidentally, we found a cleaning aunt who was working in our publishing house at this property company. ”
"You also signed a contract with that property company?" I asked Zheng Min.
Zheng Min shook his head: "No, it's this aunt, this aunt changed the property company, and the property company she changed happened to sign a contract with us." ”
"It could also be a coincidence." I looked at Zheng Min and said.
Zheng Min shook his head again: "It can't be a coincidence. This aunt resigned after the last victim was killed, and the same thing happened after the other two victims were killed, but the resignation took a little longer. Another reason is that I thought that the last victim only came to my attention today, and before that, the reason why this aunt caught my attention early was because I found this aunt among the people in the company near the crime scene, and they all resigned and went to the next company shortly after the crime. It's just that today I found out that this aunt worked in our publishing house made me confirm my thoughts even more. ”
"But according to what you just said, this aunt worked in the nightclub where the two victims worked, and even if she was disguised, she could be easily discovered, right?" I thought about Zheng Min's speculation, and in ten cases, this aunt could be found working nearby, and it would be too far-fetched to say that it was a coincidence, and Zheng Min really had no way not to suspect her. But why would she do such a thing? And as I just questioned, how can she pestering the victim without being seen through her identity, after all, it is very dangerous to appear in a place she is familiar with.
Zheng Min shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know." It's just that the brown hi is near the crime scene, which in itself is too suspicious. ”
"Then what did you find in the past two days?"
"Nope." Zheng Min's expression was a little frustrated, "I haven't found anything, I've been following this aunt for many days, and I haven't found any news worth exploring." Her routine is very regular, basically the place where she works and the house she rents. She lives in an urban village in District C, because it is far away from where she works, she goes to work very early, so she goes out early, but she gets off work quite early, but she only goes home after buying vegetables near home. She only rested two days a month, and this day she only stayed at home, and followed her for almost two months, and she was not seen outside of her home. ”
"You leave work early every day, and your manager didn't scold you?" Seeing Zheng Min's dejected appearance, I knew that she was now disappointed because of the inconclusive investigation, so I reached out and patted the top of her head, "It's okay!" I've done a good job, I'll leave the rest to me, anyway, I'm unemployed now, and I have a lot of time. I think I'll probably find something different when I go and see it. By the way, hasn't my aunt bought clothes for two months? I thought about it and asked Zheng Min.
Zheng Min frowned, as if he couldn't understand what I said: "No." Why ask this kind of question all of a sudden? ”
"It's a change of season." I glanced out the window, and many of the flowers raised by the boss had already entered a semi-dormant state: "It's time to buy clothes, didn't Auntie buy clothes for herself?" ”
Zheng Min showed a confused expression: "I haven't seen my aunt buy clothes yet." But there's a smiling clothing store near the market she frequents, so maybe I didn't pay attention, right? ”
"It's also possible that someone else bought it for her, and she didn't live alone, right?"
Zheng Min shook his head and denied my speculation: "You guessed wrong, she is really the only one who lives." I asked Jin Hao to help me see the movement of her room, and I didn't see anyone entering or leaving his rented house since she left. ”
Hearing this, I felt more and more strange about this aunt: "How long has she lived there?" ”
Zheng Min flipped through his phone and looked at it: "It's only about three months." ”
"That's even weirder." I subconsciously said it, attracting the direct attention of the two people at the table.
I looked at them: "I mean, there is something really strange about this aunt's behavior. If you move to a new place, you will definitely have a preliminary understanding of the place, but according to Xiaomin, this aunt is just repeated at home and work, without being disturbed by anything, which is very different from the aunts I usually come into contact with, even if it may be due to personality reasons. But I think Zheng Min has been following her for nearly two months and has not found that she has been in contact with anyone, indicating that she intends to avoid contact with others. This woman seems to be hiding some secret. Zheng Min, send me my aunt's address, I want to see where he lives. ”
Zheng Min glanced at the boss, as if he wanted to go to someone for something.
"You don't believe me?" I looked at Zheng Min and asked her.
Zheng Min pouted: "I'm not sure." After all. ”
"I know. But I promised you that I would come back, and I did, and you should believe me, shouldn't you? Besides, I don't have anything to do now, and the investigation is within the scope of legality, even if Li Jing finds me, he won't find anything. Give me my limbs, I can't stay at home and be a rice worm. ”
When Zheng Min heard me say 'home', something flashed with pressure, and then as if he was enduring something, he tried to hold back and not let the shiny thing slip down his eyes, and then smiled at me and sent me my aunt's address. (To be continued.) )
