Chapter 16: The Bell
It was the corpse of a woman, naked with her back to the crowd, for fear of damaging the scene, so she still maintained the appearance of being found at the beginning, like a traveler looking at the scenery down the mountain.
However, the reason why it is said to be half is because the person is completely gone, from the waist down.
The two walked over and walked around to the front of the body......
Even Will, who often deals with corpses, couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene in front of him...... And Ziliang seems to feel that if he doesn't react at all now, he is a little unsociable, so he also "hissed".
By the light of the searchlight, the figure could be seen quietly closing her eyes, and her chest had been cut open, her ribs and all her internal organs were gone, and only a hollowed-out shell remained.
Oh, and it's not all gone, because in that empty chest cavity is a heart dangling from a throat.
At this point, Will didn't say anything more, and he slowly closed his eyes again...... When I opened my eyes again, I had already entered the state of 'substitute for the murderer'.
Will walked to the corpse blankly, gently stroking her face, and then raised the deceased's arm again, studying her wrist......
"I cherish you immensely...... I couldn't bear to let you feel the pain, so I anesthetized you, then cut the blood vessels in your wrist and put it in warm running water. Watch your life go by..... I held you and kissed you during this time, and even I ......." Will lowered his head, as if to see the lower half of the deceased's body, but that part of the body was gone, so he could only shake his head regretfully.
"But I have to kill you again, because ...... I'm going to make you a bell. Yes, it's the clock, your body is the body, your throat is the pendulum, and the heart is the pendulum, the perfect work of art. Will said, with a hint of praise in his tone.
"But instead of keeping this precious object away, I placed it on the top of the mountain...... Yes, I don't want people to see you, on the contrary, I want you to see a more beautiful view, in the open field at the top of the mountain, looking at the direction of the rising sun, your heart is like a pendulum, you can swing all the time, as if you never died...... You see, you're going to be happy forever...... Hehehe-"
Will said, suddenly let out a very incongruous laugh, and then leaned forward slightly, as if he really wanted to kiss him.
At this moment, Ziliang obviously noticed that the staff around him looked at Will with a strange look, as if they were looking at a monster, well, this time Ziliang could finally understand why there was always a psychological counselor next to Will to accompany him.
"Alright." Ziliang gently woke up Will, which avoided an uncomfortable scene.
Will was in a trance and detached himself from the murderer's psyche, then shook his head, and it took a while for him to fully sober up.
Jack leaned in...... "Did you find anything?" ”
Will nodded: "The murderer should be someone known to the deceased, and he has a love for the deceased, although the possibility of women is not ruled out, but the male probability is greater, after all, it takes a lot of effort to carry the corpse, and when dividing the body of the deceased, I can feel that the murderer is not a little flustered, so I guess the murderer must have had experience in autopsy." ”
"Is it a doctor?" Jack asked.
"Not necessarily." Will denied: "The murderer seems to have some cognitive pathology, believing that if the dead are made into clocks, they will live forever out of the control of time, that is, in a sense of immortality."
And this kind of sick person is likely to like to raise spiders, snakes, reptiles and other creatures from an early age, and is also very likely to dissect the carcasses of some dead animals in the backyard of their homes, such as wild dogs or wild cats. So the murderer can be a doctor, or any other profession.
And the most crucial, and the hardest, is that these people know very well what they are doing, so that although they are psychopaths in some sense, they hardly show anything unusual in their daily lives, on the contrary, they will be more humble, talented, and more popular.
Therefore, for the time being, there is no particularly precise positioning, so I can only follow such a persona first, and look in the social circle of the deceased, hoping to find something. ”
Will said, maybe it was the recent successive use of his abilities that made his mental condition tense again, so when he said these words, Will kept rubbing his head, looking a little painful.
But Jack didn't seem to want to stop, and he continued: "One more thing to tell you, the investigation team found the lower half of the body of the deceased in the nearby wooded area, as well as the remains of some internal organs. ”
"It's normal, the murderer thinks that those things are useless, or that everything that the 'clock' doesn't need, is all useless, so he will definitely throw the remaining entrails away."
Jack nodded, "But there's one thing I'm concerned about...... That's that we didn't find the lungs. ”
"What?" Will was stunned.
"We didn't find any lungs, the incision in the trachea was intact, and the lungs were deliberately cut."
"Do you doubt ......?"
"Yes!" Jack affirmed: "I suspect it's another cannibalism!" ”
"It can't be!" Will said directly: "I can clearly feel that the murderers of these murders are not the same person, the last person was angry and brutal, this person was careful and full of love, I think they probably didn't know each other at all, and, in the last incident, the murderer's methods were very rusty, he even had to look for a long time where the human liver was, and this time this person can skillfully stitch the throat and heart together, and even remove the rest of the internal organs so clean." It definitely can't be alone! ”
Yes, although Will's profiling ability doesn't need any evidence, but if he says that the murderer is not a person, then it is definitely not a person, and it is absolutely impossible for so many cannibal criminals to appear at the same time, after all, 'cannibalism' is still more stylish than other daily small cases such as 'killing a person and dividing a corpse', which is so easy to catch a handful.
"Maybe ......" suddenly Ziliang said quietly.
Both Jack and Will looked over with some surprise.
"Maybe what?" They asked almost at the same time.
"Maybe they've all visited the same person......"
