Chapter 3 The Profiler at the Dinner Table
Li Jing continued, "Although I am not sure what happened at that time, it is possible that the man suddenly fainted on the ground, but I think his accomplices should not be able to take him away, so they left first. They should have seen the dump site in advance, as the road was not a dead end, so if someone came from one side and wanted to escape, they could leave from the other side. I think it must have been his companion who heard someone coming, so he left him where he was, and left first. I remember that our previous consensus was that the murderer was not a single female prisoner, so if we assume that the amnesiac was involved in a series of murders, then we can at least know that there should be at least three participants in this series of murders, because after the amnesiac was discovered, there are still follow-up cases in the cities along the TS Expressway, and if the criminal gang is only a woman, it is difficult for it to happen according to our previous speculation. So the criminal gang has at least three people, if not more. β
"I think there should be only three of them." Officer Liu agreed, and also put forward his own opinion, "If according to your speculation, the amnesiac belongs to the people involved in the case, and they can still continue to commit crimes in an orderly manner after losing a companion, it shows that the leader of this criminal gang is very charged, and this kind of gang with strong control will only appear in two extremes, one is a gang organization with strict hierarchy, and the other is a small group with strong controllability, and the average number is only three people." According to the modus operandi and the type of victims, the social relations of these victims are relatively simple, and they are not the targets of a gang group, and the fact that the victims were not fatally beaten during their captivity is not a gang modus operandi, and the families of these victims have not received any warning letters or the like before the victims' deaths, so it can be ruled out that the gang was responsible. Then there are mini-criminal gangs, and the leaders of such criminal gangs are generally very accusatory, whether it is from the way they treat their victims, or the way they calmly respond after losing a companion, I think it is in line with the pattern of a three-person gang crime. β
Li Jing pondered for a moment before saying: "In other words, the suspect may be a three-person organization, among which there is a person with a strong desire to control as the leader, and the other two should be the dominated ones, and the discovery indicates that this belongs to the dominated party." So after losing her, the criminal gang was still able to continue its crimes with one member in the city? β
Officer Liu nodded: "That's what I meant." β
Li Jing continued: "The leader of this criminal gang may be a power- or domination-oriented murderer, and financial matters are not the focus of his clinical studies, he mainly gets satisfaction from dictating the life and death of the victim and the actions of his companions. Their main motive is to take extreme control of the victim of the substance, but when he realizes that he is no longer able to control the victim, he makes the decision to kill the victim. Also, judging by the strength and psychology, I think the crime boss is a man with a strong desire to dominate. It is possible that he is the male elder of the family. β
Officer Liu thought for a while before asking Li Jing, "So it's possible that the amnesiac chose to close his memories because he was subconsciously afraid of his former companions?" β
"It's possible. That's right. Can't you find the information of the amnesiac in the number jΓΉ library? If facial recognition is used, will it be possible to find out his identity? β
Officer Liu shook his head: "I have checked all the identity information database in this city, and there are no missing people among people who have a similar face to him, and we have basically all made contact, and the same situation is in the national identity information database." We were afraid that he had plastic surgery, and we also asked the civil non-prosthetic experts in the hospital to examine her, and the amnesiac had no history of plastic surgery, but we still couldn't find any information about him. We tested his literacy skills, and the amnesiac was not illiterate, although the literacy program was only at junior high school level. But if it can be proved that the man has received compulsory education, he will not be an unidentified black household. So we made a bold speculation at the time, it is possible that the amnesiac person left school after finishing junior high school and entered the society, but the usual work does not involve the verification of identity information, so we speculated that the amnesiac person may usually earn a living by doing odd jobs for others. β
"Have you considered a family business?" Li Jing asked, "My family business is not a large-scale factory. I mean that the amnesiac may be from a family workshop in the countryside or some small private supermarket in the city. The amnesiac may be responsible for the transportation of goods. You see, being able to commit murder along the TS Highway shows that the suspect often travels through these cities and is quite familiar with the situation in these cities. will make the body of the victim abandoned in the alley with exits on both sides. And what kind of profession might make him so familiar with these cities? I think there are only people in the logistics industry who are in charge of transportation. But I've also analyzed it before. According to the distribution of the gang of three, their leader is a person who has a clear desire to control, and the frustrated person is the one who is dominated, so their leader should not let the amnesiac person out of his sight. That is to say, he is controlling his companions in every way. So this point is more supportive of my speculation just now, the leader of this criminal accomplice may be the parents of the remaining two members, because of the strong desire to accuse, the gang leader should not be subservient to others casually, and it is possible that he will have a small company, possibly a supermarket. It could also be a private freight company. But being able to commit many crimes will not be discovered, and the amnesiac has appeared on the news countless times and no one has provided useful clues, which also shows that all the company's ordinary business is contacted by the leader of this criminal gang alone, and it is very likely that the amnesiac and the female companion who is also the dominated person have not had much contact with the outside world, which can also indirectly see that the leader among them has a strong desire to control. β
"And we're going to have to check all the carriers?" Officer Liu immediately understood Li Jinghua's speculation, and quickly put forward his own opinion.
Li Jing nodded: "Yes, but it should be noted that those private transport teams that are likely not registered, as well as small-scale private decoration teams." Small businesses contracted by large companies to private individuals also need to be paid more attention to, in short, small teams and companies that may involve cross-provincial operations are the direction that should be considered. β
Officer Liu had already called the team members to explain the situation just now, and confirmed the direction of everyone's investigation with the team members.
"What if the scope of the criminal gang's activities is not in Q City? I mean, maybe it's just part of the job to get them to come to Q City, but if their base is not in Q City, should we check the small-scale companies in the entire TS Expressway surrounding city? After listening to this, I also asked my own question, "If you check it like this, it will really be a big project." β
"Don't bother." Li Jing denied my idea, "If the murder is carried out in this city, it means that they have close business contacts in this city, and we only need to investigate a few key industries that have been questioned before, and by the way, check their business contacts in other provinces." You can initially find out the suspicious company for an in-depth investigation, don't play Q City, but it's one of the rings in their series of murder locations, and the rest just need to follow the vine. β
"But because of the lack of manpower, the speed of their crimes has really slowed down." I pointed to the time when the victim was found on the profile. Before the amnesiac was found. The murderer's murder speed is almost limited to about two months, but the second murder after finding the amnesia occurred nearly half a year later, but the last case happened two months later, because a new accomplice was found? I shared my doubts with the two people on the other side.
"Not necessarily." Officer Liu waved at me. "I'm not a psychoanalyst, but I've been exposed to some criminal psychology research courses in distribution. It is very difficult for people who are strong to trust others, so they will not immediately find new accomplices to replace the original members. In addition, didn't Li Jing speculate just now that this criminal gang might be formed by a certain family? Especially for such a family-style crime, unless it is a family member, they will not find a new companion. β
"Then why did the killing speed slow down and suddenly become normal again?" Although what Officer Liu said was very reasonable, I always felt that there must be some important clues hidden in the last murder time.
"Probably because the murderer's love has changed." Li Jing glanced at the photo on the table, "You see, the previous victim experienced a maximum of two stab wounds in Qian, but you see that the last victim had one more scar caused by a stab wound than the others." Only one wound was fatal, and the remaining two were non-fatal. In addition, the pentagram on the back of the other victims' hands was painted, and only the last victim had the suspect carved the pattern on his hand with a knife. The unusual destruction of the victim's body shows that the suspect's psychology at that time was affected by some factors, and the guide was deviating from his usual behavior, so he slowed down and accelerated after being an accomplice in the city, I think it may be related to her other companion, it is possible that she now feels that she can no longer control her companion, and only after the desire for dominance is not satisfied will she break the pattern and start killing. But once he discovers that he really can't dominate his companion as much as before, he may kill his companion directly. That's right, Officer Liu. Has the last deceased person been identified? β
Officer Liu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "You mean that the last victim may be the companion of the amnesiac?" β
Li Jing hesitated: "I just made this assumption, looking at these murder cases, it can be seen that the murderer's mind is very clear, and the place where the body was dumped is also chosen to be found in a place that can be found lightly also shows that the suspect is a bold person." So it is quite possible that he made a killing of his companions. He also pretended to be the victim's family to get away with it. For a person who is strong and controlled, an uncontrolled companion is the greatest danger to him, and killing his companion is a good thing for him. Abandoning the amnesiac at the time shows his ruthlessness towards his companions. Was the last victim found in the city? β
Listening to Li Jing's distraction, Officer Liu's eyes widened instantly, but at the same time, he showed a regretful expression: "Li Jing, I regret to sue you." Your reasoning may be wrong this time, and we are the last victims to be found in another city far from here. β
I thought Li Jing would be depressed, but I didn't expect him to immediately look at Officer Liu with great confidence and say, "Then my reasoning is more likely to be correct." β
"Why?" Officer Liu looked at Li Jing suspiciously.
"Because it does not arouse your suspicions, the murder is disguised as if it were any other case, and the fact that the place where the body is dumped is far away also means that the suspect hopes that the last case will not allow you to associate with the frustrated, but he must not secretly think that he is recalling a separate case, because that would likely lead the object of suspicion to himself, so he must disguise the case as he did before to confuse your investigation, and focus all suspicions on the murderer of the serial murder that has not yet been detected. But if he is the murderer of a serial murder case, he is very familiar with his usual modus operandi, so he can completely arrange the scene of the abandoned body according to the previous case. Moreover, putting the pentagram on the back of the victim's hand shows that he has a very strong hatred for the victim, and a stronger hatred means a stronger uncontrollability. So the probability that the last victim was his companion is also greater. Also, I remember you told me that when you examined the DNA of the three female hairs on the frustrated person, you only compared it to the victim in that case, not to every corpse, right? Li Jing's eyes kept shining when he spoke, and he seemed to be particularly sure of his thoughts.
Maybe it was infected by Li Jing, or maybe what Li Jing said was really reasonable, Officer Liu immediately nodded, and called the police station to ask the real room to re-test the three hairs found on the frustrated person's body and compare them with the DNA of all the victims to see if they could find a match.
After hanging up the phone, I briefly cleaned up the table, and Officer Liu said that we would go to the hospital again immediately. I looked at Officer Liu with some confusion, and Officer Liu urged us to get into the car quickly, and explained to me: "I haven't shown the amnesiac photos of other victims, but according to Li Jing's speculation just now, if I show him the photos of other victims, if his female companions really appear in these photos, whether he is pretending to be amnesiac or not, he will give me a different reaction when he sees the photos of his companions." In addition, if the speculation is true, then this amnesiac should be dangerous now, and if his companion who has a strong desire to control him also thinks that he is dangerous and cannot be within his control, then the next step, our amnesiac will be dangerous.
