On the morning of the next day, at the meeting of the task force, Meng Yu explained in detail Dr. Li's motive for committing the crime and the process of committing the crime.

As the investigators found a human head soaked in formalin in a storage cabinet in the attic of the villa. After identification, the head belonged to Ji Lan, the victim of the "11.20 Factory Cremation Case", and Jiang Peiyao's personal account of the incident, it can basically be determined that Li Ting is the culprit of these two cases.

Originally, the truth of the case came out, and the arrest of the real murderer should be a good thing for the task force, but the ensuing troubles made people feel even more headaches. Counting the three previous cases, the Clownfish Killer has killed four suspects right under the noses of the police. If they continue to run rampant, more people will surely die at their hands.

However, the police do not have a lot of information about the mysterious clownfish killer, and there are only three points to summarize:

First, the Clownfish Killer did not commit the crime alone, they had at least two people working together.

Based on the footprints left at the scene of the crime, the police speculated that the murderer in the first case (Ma Zhichen's case) was an adult male, about 180 cm tall, weighing 80 kg to 85 kg, and was relatively strong. In the second case (Li Bao's plan), according to the shoe prints extracted by the technical team in the unfinished building, as well as the information provided by the victim Ye Fei, it is inferred that the murderer who captured Li Baofang should be a young man weighing about 140 pounds and having good skills.

Because no witnesses were found in either case that could provide valuable information, and there was no surveillance video at the scene of the crime, the exact appearance of the two men is not clear.

In the third case (Moziqiao case), because the place where the body was dumped is remote and clues are scarce, the police cannot confirm whether the murderer in this case is the two people who committed the crime before, or the third person. But there is no doubt that the killers of the three victims belonged to the same criminal gang.

The second point is about the interpretation of the criminal mark "clownfish".

Clownfish are vulnerable people living in the ocean, and without the protection of sea anemones, they are vulnerable to other fish attacks and are in danger at any time. Human society is also a world where the law of the jungle kills and people suffer. The predators need to be punished, the weak need to be protected, so someone stands up at all costs and wants to take on the role of an anemone and become an umbrella for the weak.

Through criminal psychological analysis, the police speculated that the main culprit of the criminal gang should be a very injustice person in life. This person may have experienced or witnessed unfair treatment of those around him, is dissatisfied with the police, and does not trust the police's ability to handle cases. Therefore, he wants to personally incarnate as a representative of justice, declare war on the police, and eliminate harm for the people in his own way.

The third and most important point is that the clownfish killer is likely to be someone inside the police, more precisely, he should have been involved in the investigation of these cases and knew the details of the cases well, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the suspect's information was always leaked in the first place.

Xia Shi summed up here, and someone raised the question he and Gu Song discussed before: If the person who leaked the information participated in the investigation of all the cases, then after the exclusion, he and Gu Song were the two most suspects.

"I have a different opinion on this." As the criminal psychology consultant of the "Clownfish Series Murder Case", Huo Yan broke the embarrassing atmosphere in the conference room in time. Originally, Gu Song also wanted to take this opportunity to express his views, but his current situation didn't seem to be suitable for defending himself and Xia Shi.

Huo Yan seemed to see through his thoughts, smiled at him slightly, and then explained to everyone: "When it comes to the person who leaked information, our first thought is almost all: he should be involved in the investigation of all cases, because only in this way can he grasp the identity information of those suspects in the first time and kill those people before the police act." But we ignore a very important issue, which is that there are at least two clownfish killers, and the person who provides the information may not only be responsible for providing information, but he may also play the role of the murderer in another case.

"In other words, we may not be looking for only one leaker, they may all be lurking around us, through division of labor, exchange of identities to get the information they want, and kill the target they want to kill. Therefore, until conclusive evidence is found, everyone here is suspicious, and everyone should actively cooperate with the subsequent investigation. I don't dare to say anything about the three cases that happened before, but in the case of Dr. Li's murder last night, there is a good chance that the people who reported the news participated in this investigation. Huo Yan paused, looked at Xia Shi with apologetic eyes, and then said to Director Xia, "In order to ensure the smooth progress of the next investigation, I have a suggestion, I don't know if it's appropriate." ”

"You say."

"I suggest that the head of the task force be replaced, preferably someone who has nothing to do with these cases. Of course, I don't believe in the Xia team's ability to handle cases, but to ensure that the process of solving the case is fair and just. ”

"I see what you mean." Director Xia nodded approvingly, "In fact, these cases have attracted great attention from the leaders of the provincial department, and they have sent a team of experts to help us solve the case." He said helplessly to Xia Shi, "From now on, your work will be taken over by colleagues sent by the provincial department, and you and your team members will continue to stay in the task force for the time being, but all the next actions must be arranged by the new leader, understand?" ”

"Understood!" Xia Shi replied unwillingly. Although he could understand the purpose of the leaders' arrangement, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. He also blamed himself for being negligent, he suspected that someone around him had leaked information early on, but he did not do a good job of prevention and control in advance, so that the murderer's plan succeeded again.

Through this case, Xia Shi is already very convinced that the clownfish killer is clearly trying to compete with them. As long as it's a case they're investigating, the clownfish killer will definitely come and intervene. Kill the suspect before the police act, as a way to show off how powerful you are, and mock how incompetent the police are.

"Okay, let's talk about this matter for now, and then go back to last night's case. Director Chen, please report on the progress of your group's work. ”

"Yes." Forensic Doctor Chen nodded to Director Xia and began to report on the victim's autopsy and the investigation of the crime scene. "Through the autopsy and the examination of the stomach contents, it is inferred that the victim's more accurate time of death was around 9 o'clock in the evening of November 27, and the cause of death was cardiac arrest caused by an overdose of anesthetic. The victim had never fought with anyone during his lifetime, had no resistance injuries on his body, and had not been tortured like the previous victims, but he had bound his hands and feet, which was presumably bound by the killer in order to control his movements. I think that the murderer can easily subdue the victim and let him obediently tie his hands to arrest, and there is a great possibility that the crime will be committed with a gun.

"After the killer killed the victim with narcotic drugs, he used surgical tools at the scene of the crime to cut off the victim's head, which seems to be an unnecessary act as part of the murderer's homicidal ritual, that is, to treat the victim in the same way as a human being. Of course, the most important ritual is that the killer must leave a clownfish in the victim's throat every time he commits a crime, and this time is no exception.

"To be on the safe side, we also performed a forensic autopsy on another body at the scene of the crime, the victim's fiancée. The results showed that the cause of the woman's death was not suspicious and confirmed to be unrelated to the case.

"In addition, there is the situation of trace detection, so I will briefly explain it. This time, the murderer was more cautious than before, leaving no fingerprints and footprints in the villa. Based on the traces left by the window, we speculate that the murderer entered the villa from the bathroom on the second floor. The bathroom window is small, but it can accommodate an adult man. If the murderer in this case is male, then he should be of the average to thin type, and he is very agile. Unfortunately, we were not able to find any valuable clues on the periphery of the villa. But I noticed that there was a surveillance camera near where the killer was climbing, and maybe that camera captured the killer's appearance. ”

"I'm afraid not." As soon as Forensic Doctor Chen's words fell, Jiang Wei shook his head helplessly and said, "When the crime happened last night, the community's monitoring system was attacked, and nothing was filmed. ”
