Act 40. ABC Murders
Thinking of this, Bai Ge immediately raised his hand.
"Mr. Devonport, I think I found the connection to the case."
Hearing Bai Ge's words, everyone present looked at him.
There were surprises, surprises, doubts and confusion, and of course, Sergeant Victor, as one of the people who had dealt with Arsene Hercule, was quite excited about this, and there was a sense of excitement that the meritorious service I brought to the people was my meritorious service.
The rich young man with blonde hair and curly hair, Manfred Danai's eyes widened slightly, knowing that this Arsene Hercule had been unknown before, and it was the first time he had attended a detective meeting, and he had not even been to a crime scene.
Relying only on the existing information, in less than thirty minutes, the truth of the mystery that has plagued many detectives and police in the Pan Western Sea for nearly a month has been deduced?
That's genius, isn't it?
Manfred Dannay grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, he considered himself a genius, although he was not a leader in various fields, but at least he could keep up with the progress, and the reason why he chose to become a detective instead of inheriting the family business was also because of the professional stimulation and intelligence of detectives who were not bound by police rules and regulations, and could confront vicious criminals head-on.
In fact, Manfred Dannay also paid close attention to Zhuxia's monster thief JOKER incident, trying to deduce the monster thief's modus operandi from the known information and catch him, but he failed, and in the theft of the Darmstadt collection, Manfred Dannay just watched the other party's performance with a completely confused face, and until now, he didn't know how the monster thief JOKER succeeded.
Missing the showdown with the monster thief JOKER, this time the Pan Western Sea serial hunt murder case, Manfred Danai must not miss it.
However, the result of his hard work for so many days was so easily cracked by a detective who was even younger than himself?
He wasn't quite convinced.
Most of the other detectives in the room were skeptical, thinking that it might just be a hypothetical conjecture.
"Please."
Devonport Vance helped his monocle and motioned for Bai Ge to continue.
"It's letters, ladies and gentlemen."
Bai Ge did not ignore the only lady present and spoke.
"Let's translate the names of these victims into the traditional Pan-Western Sea script, and then kill them in a way that corresponds to the words in the old Pan-Western Sea script......"
He stood up, went to the whiteboard next to the projection screen, and wrote down with a marker the process he had just thought.
During this period, the detectives' expressions changed from doubt, to thought, and finally suddenly, after Bai Ge matched the last deceased person with his method of death, he put down the marker, and the entire conference room was silent.
“...... This is the pattern of murder in this case, which explains why the two people who were also held in solitary confinement chose to kill Miss Sharon instead of Mr. Kingsley. ”
Bai Ge said in a deep voice.
"But...... If the letters Z, S, and T do not correspond to the letters of Z, S, and T in alphabetical order, could it be said that he deliberately skipped these letters? ”
James Hammond strangely questioned that he didn't seem to disagree with Bai Ge's statement, but just felt that something was not quite right because of the missing link.
"It's more likely that the police have ignored these cases, or that the bodies have not been found."
Playing with the ends of her long braided hair, the old woman, Charlotte Austin, narrowed her eyes and looked at Sheriff Victor.
"This, this is impossible, the prisoner will leave obvious traces of the crime at the scene, we will not ignore these obvious details!"
Sergeant Victor pleaded out, but added in a whisper.
"But if it is the death of those elderly people who have lived alone for a long time and have no relatives, maybe it has not been found yet......"
The kinship relationship on this side of the Pan-Western Sea is not as strict as that of Zhuxia, many people will leave home directly after adulthood, do not come back for many years, and do not have the habit of reuniting in the New Year, which has formed a situation where some widowed and lonely old people are alone at home, in this regard, some Pan-Western Sea cities have given measures to provide alchemy dolls in a cheap form to take care of them, but more cities cannot implement it due to economic problems, and these lonely old people are at home by themselves, even if they die, no one knows, It may not be discovered until the body smells and causes the displeasure of the neighbors.
If the offender had targeted such a person, it was indeed possible that he had not yet been discovered.
"I'll let you report and ask people from other places to investigate the situation of elderly people living alone whose names or surnames start with these letters, and collect ...... as soon as possible."
Sergeant Victor said a few words and left the conference room to make a phone call.
"So, Mr. Yasen, what do you think is the purpose of the prisoner's choice of letters as the serial number for the crime?"
Although Manfred Danai seemed to be a little skeptical and hostile to Bai Ge at first, after listening to his explanation, the young man with a decent head immediately reacted.
This series of serial murders is very likely to really unfold in alphabetical order!
Coincidences may occur, but when coincidences occur in a row, it means that there must be an arrangement behind it.
Moreover, X is extremely rare to use as the beginning of a surname or first name, and it is impossible to use xenon to kill a person with X in their name just by accident!
Therefore, it is very likely that Arsene Hercule's inference is correct.
If the investigation is carried out and the deceased representing the letters Z, S, and T is successfully found, or if the next victim is killed by a word that starts with P in his first name or surname, then Arsene Hercule's inference is undoubtedly correct.
Of course, it is also possible that, as James Hammond said, this letter is the message left by the prisoner, and he does not necessarily kill in the exact alphabetical order, but hides the message in the letters that have appeared or have not yet appeared.
"Choosing letters as serial numbers to commit crimes is a very ceremonial act, I think the prisoner may have paid quite attention to this aspect of things, perhaps a neurotic, extremely paranoid person, he is well educated, because the killing methods he uses represent words that are not accessible to everyday people, and even the Pan-Xihai people do not necessarily use them, he has the experience of studying abroad in the Pan-Xihai, or has been dealing with the old culture of the Pan-Xihai for many years, from the choice of "Pan-Xihai Daily" as a clue, he is relatively young, Because this newspaper has a larger audience of young people, it should be between twenty and thirty years old, and judging by the handwriting that has not yet been hidden, it is more likely that men will be men. ”
Bai Ge seemed to be thinking while saying, and the other detectives were stunned when they heard it.
?
Is this a deduced criminal profile?
No, is there something wrong with our understanding of the crime profile or is there something wrong with your crime profile?
How can you judge so many things?
For a moment, the conference room fell into silent silence again.
"From this, we can judge that this is a man from outside the Pan-Western Sea, aged 20 to 30, well-educated, at least a university graduate, who has worked or studied in a major related to the literature and art of the old Pan-Western Sea, who is extremely confident, who seems to have been stimulated mentally, very paranoid, and very strong in action."
Bai Ge seemed to sketch out the murderous murderer in just a few sentences, and even made a specific image appear in people's hearts.
What is Detective?
This is the detective!!
Several detectives are speechless, and, if you think about it carefully, Yassen Hercule's inferences are not nonsense, but can correspond to the current discoveries one by one.
What is the origin of this detective?
In addition to being stunned, Devon Porter Vance and the others couldn't help but be curious.
As for Bai Ge, he didn't actually use much criminal psychology stuff.
He just simply described the impression of Bi Zhenyan.
Bai Ge can now be sure that this prisoner is Bi Zhenyan!
"As for the use of alphabetical killing, it is actually a very easy to understand method, as Ms. Charlotte mentioned before, the prisoner may not kill all of these people with hatred, but simply to kill some of them, and use letters to disguise the death of the target and others, so as to avoid suspicion."
In fact, according to the descriptions of the old times and movies that Bai Ge had watched in the Promise Bookstore before, 90% of this regular serial murder was committed to hide one of the cases.
Bi Zhenyan's words, Bai Ge thought that he should be trying to assassinate someone, in order to prevent the other party from being alert, so he first created this series of serial murders, and then killed the other party by surprise.
Or, this is actually the reproduction or preparation for the reproduction of a certain history that is not clear to Bai Ge.
Yesterday, although the Order is an international terrorist organization, they are all crazy people, but they also have many historical secrets, and even MI5 and the Abyssal Relic Service Department speculate that they may have at least one Abyss in order to obtain historical fragments such as Jörmungard and Gorgon.
"We need to immediately re-investigate the suspects we have previously investigated, looking for beings similar to Mr. Yasen's description, who may not be acquaintances or direct contacts of the victim, but are simply nearby."
Devonport Vance quickly had a direction to investigate.
At this moment, Sergeant Victor, who had gone out to make a call, hurried back to the conference room, his face was pale, and he was still holding his mobile phone in his hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received contact from the police in the city of Xinhuarsawa, and they found an elderly man living alone dead in his room, and since there were no other relatives, his body was not found by the neighbors until it was rotting and stinking......
Sergeant Victor paused before continuing.
"According to the preliminary autopsy, he should have died of excessive water loss, that is, he died of thirst, at the scene, there is a copy of the "Pan Xihai Daily", in the Scrabble game, with a sentence written in red pen...... 'An old man was dying of thirst, and he died without water to drink'......"
"The name of the deceased is...... Thorne Adrien. ”
