April 22, the fifteenth day of the third lunar month.

The full moon is like a beautiful moon.

The bright moon is exuding a faint cold light, and the moonlight is gently falling. In a palatial villa, there are faint bursts of melodious and elegant piano music at this moment. It was Beethoven's work No. 27 bis, also known as the Moonlight Sonata.

In the villa's lavishly decorated bathroom, a tall, thin man in a suit and leather shoes soaks his black raincoat in a large bathtub. The water in the bathtub was instantly dyed red, and the dark red liquid with a special rusty smell was gradually being diluted.

With the melodious and gentle piano music, the man came to the sink with a relaxed expression and elegant manners, unscrewed the faucet unhurriedly, and washed the gloves still on his hands. The sink was filled with blood again, but the man's expression was calm and unhurried. After the gloves were completely washed, he slowly took them off, looked up, and looked in the mirror to straighten the collar of his shirt and the meticulous bow tie.

He looked at himself in the mirror, and his handsome face evoked a wicked smile.

A calm man, melodious piano music, cold and holy moonlight... All this is in strong and eerie contrast to the river of blood flowing in the large living room in the villa.

Two hours later, police cars, ambulances, police officers and onlookers had closed the villa.

Yes, there was not only a murder here, but an unusual one.

The person in charge of this case is Luo Chuan, the captain of the first team of the D City Criminal Investigation Brigade. When he received the call from the informant, he already had a premonition that this case was unusual. Because the informant's call is secret, his voice is also changing, his words are obscure, and his tone is secret. After the police followed the signal with all their might, the area was roughly locked in the vicinity of this villa area. For Luo Chuan, this means that the informant is likely to be the murderer himself.

With his own "internship team", Luo Chuan entered the scene. The smell of blood on his face made Luo Chuan frown. It is true that blood will basically be seen in all homicide cases, but it can cause such a strong smell of blood, and it is definitely not a person who dies.

In the living room, the bodies of a man and two women are "displayed" on the floor directly below the crystal chandelier. The gorgeous lighting seems to have a spotlight effect, allowing visitors to see the state of the three corpses more clearly.

They had their vertebrae, calves, legs, and ankles severed, twisted but neatly arranged in the shape of three notes.

This bizarre and sensational murder method made every police staff member who entered the scene feel nervous. Such a tragic and perverted picture is enough to prove that the murderer is by no means an ordinary criminal.

The work of the police officers is going on intensely. And the villa is still playing "Moonlight Sonata" on a loop, and this atmosphere has an indescribable incongruity.

One of the officers probably sensed the strange atmosphere as well, and was ready to turn off the music that seemed to never stop.

But Luo Chuan stopped in time: "Don't move yet, keep this state." What should you do, what should you do, this music, maybe it is a flaw left by the murderer, maybe it has some special meaning, I want to listen to it carefully. ”

"Team Luo, come and take a look. There are notches on the floor beneath this male corpse! "The one who spoke was a female coroner, still in the internship period, and had just been approved to go out in the field for not long ago, named Tian Zhen. Although the position is not high, the work ability is very strong, and the style of doing things is also vigorous and resolute. In addition, her teacher is now the chief forensic doctor of the criminal police team, and Tian Zhen, who has excellent learning ability, has always been regarded by everyone as the top female forensic doctor in the future.

Luo Chuan walked over to the twisted corpse, and Tian Zhen and the other autopsies gently moved the corpse, revealing blood-soaked nicks on the floor. That's a somewhat confusing statement.

"There are traces of sin in all the professions and businesses that make money in human beings."

Ke Xue, a young and handsome police officer on the side, grabbed her unkempt hair and asked in surprise: "Is this...... Could it have been carved by the murderer? Belch...... Hate the rich? Looking at the extremely luxurious decoration of the villa in front of him, and then thinking of this sentence, it is no wonder that he can only think of such a possibility.

But Luo Chuan shook his head a little solemnly at this time and said: "Although this sentence was engraved by the murderer, it was not what he said. This is Emerson's famous quote. ”

“…… Love, Emerson? Are we, the perverted murderers, still a learned master? Ke Xue looked very incomprehensible. Probably in his impression, people who can commit such a murder case without conscience will have anything to do with any praise words.

But Luo Chuan said with certainty: "Not all murderers are extremely low-educated and vicious people. Some of them may even have higher IQs, cultures, and economic levels than you and me. Of course, the most terrible criminals are also in this category. ”

After speaking, Luo Chuan ordered the surrounding policemen: "Use the fastest speed to find out the identity of the deceased, judging from the murderer's reminder on the floor, the deceased is not only a businessman, but also a profiteer." This is supposed to be his home, find out everything that can prove the identities of the three deceased. ”

The police officers began to work in full swing, and after Luo Chuan saw the basic state of the three corpses, he pulled Tian Zhen, who was collecting blood samples, and asked, "Do you think this kind of death is common?" ”

Although Tian Zhen was wearing a mask, he could still see that his beautiful face was full of surprise. Her eyes widened and she replied, "Of course it's not common!" I've seen all of them chopped into dumpling fillings, but it's the first time I've seen them in such a literary and artistic way. You look at this neat wound, the murderer is neat, his axe is up and down, without the slightest hesitation. However, the fatal wounds of these victims were sharp daggers and knives. ”

Luo Chuan looked at Tian Zhen with a smile and said meaningfully, "What do you mean...... Our murderer is not only sophisticated, but also well-equipped? Knives kill people, axes break bones, and pose such a scene for us to show and provoke the police...... And at the moment he has nothing left for us except for a moonlight song. ”

Tian Zhen smiled helplessly and said, "What you said is almost right, but it is far more than that. The place where the writing is engraved under the corpse is a relatively narrow pencil knife. The bones of the corpse were chopped with a short axe, the male victim was killed with a sharp weapon about 4 centimeters wide, and the female victim was killed with a dagger about 2.7 centimeters wide that resembled a fruit knife. ”

As he spoke, Tian Zhen took Luo Chuan to the floor in front of the male corpse, pointed to a small circular dent and said, "See this?" The trace inspection team preliminarily concluded that this was caused by a sharpening rod. There are also clothes of the deceased, which the murderer seems to have deliberately cut in order to avoid affecting the overall appearance. However, we did not find any scissors matching the traces at the scene. ”

Luo Chuan nodded and said with a wry smile: "So, our murderer came prepared with a full set of murder weapons." I would say he was a sharpener, but he loved Beethoven...... It's incredible, how did he get in with all these things? ”

"How do you know that this music was played by the murderer and not by the dead?" Tian Zhen asked.

Luo Chuan glanced at the male deceased on the ground and said, "Judging from this magnificent and somewhat vulgar decoration taste, it is expensive and useful, and it should not be an elegant person." And if it wasn't the music played by the murderer, then he should have turned it off when he killed or after the killing. So as not to distract the mind and avoid any omissions in the process of committing the crime. Okay, you guys dispose of the corpse first, and I'll go to the bathroom and have a look. ”

Tian Zhen nodded, and then beckoned Ke Xue on the side: "Xiaoxue, come over and help." ”

Ke Xue's white and handsome face instantly darkened, and she complained very dissatisfied: "Can you not call Xiaoxue?" It sounds like a girl! I don't know, I thought I was a transvestite, have you ever seen such a sunny and handsome girl? ”

Tian Zhen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qi Guang, then squinted his eyes and said, "You are the youngest, and your name is still with a snow character, what is the name of Xiaoxue?" ”

Ke Xue pulled his face and scratched his hair that seemed to be forever unkempt: "Hey, that's just whatever you want......"
