Chapter 27: The Mysterious Sole Pattern
Wang Shen was still trying to think about the case, and at this time, his mobile phone rang again.
"Hey! Team Wang, you come to the scene to take a look, there is another murder. A colleague's hurried voice came from the receiver of the phone. Wang Shen frowned, looked away from the surveillance screen, and immediately drove to the place where the murder occurred.
Wang Shen glanced at the address he received on his mobile phone, typed in the navigation, and was surprised to find that the location of the murder was not far from the bar. A bad thought came to Wang Shen's heart. Wang Shen gritted his teeth, stepped on the accelerator, and let the car drive quickly to the scene of the murder.
During the day, the alleys, which were not particularly lively, are now full of people. There were two police cars parked at the entrance of the alley, and the flow of people blocked the alley from the alley. The big guys all stretched their heads and looked inside. Wang Shen walked into the alley and turned a corner to the scene.
"Team King." When several policemen saw Wang Shen coming, they hurriedly opened the cordon and opened a way for him.
"Who died?" Wang Shen walked quickly to the deceased, wanting to confirm the identity of the deceased.
"The identity of the deceased has been confirmed. The deceased's name was Liang Li, who had no proper occupation and often haunted the nearby bars at night. ”
Wang Shen squatted down and looked at Liang Li's corpse, regretting that he didn't expect the murderer to attack her. Wang Shen put on a pair of rubber gloves and uncovered the white cloth covering Liang Li's body, and a large red blood stain on his chest was particularly eye-catching. "Have you made a preliminary autopsy?" Wang Shen looked back at the forensic doctor standing aside.
"The time of death of the deceased is preliminarily judged to be around three o'clock in the morning today. The cause of death was simple, he was killed by a knife in the chest. Other than that, no external injuries have been detected for the time being. Of course, more accurate autopsy results are difficult to say at this time.
"Did the murderer leave any clues at the scene that are worth following?" Wang Shen turned his gaze to the young policeman standing to the side.
"Except for some banknotes, no special clues were found at the scene." As he spoke, the young policeman handed over the banknotes in plastic bags to Wang Shen. Each note is individually encapsulated, and there are about seven or eight bags. "Team Wang, do you think it could be a robbery? The deceased's social relations were simple, but according to the survey, the people he came into contact with were mixed. The young policeman looked at Wang Shen and asked.
"If it's a robbery, then put the money on the ground, will you not take it?" Wang Shen picked up the plastic bags containing banknotes in his hand and shook them in front of the young policeman. "There were no visible signs of a struggle on the deceased's body. There is no bruising of the visible external musculature. Therefore, the deceased should not have been violently assaulted by the murderer. So the money should not have been found by the murderer on the deceased. ”
"Team Wang, according to what you say, did the deceased give this money to the murderer on his own initiative?"
"So to speak. The deceased thought that the murderer was going to rob the money, so he took out all his money in a panic. But unfortunately, the murderer's purpose is not money. By the way, was the wallet found on the deceased? Wang Shen looked left and right, as if looking for the shadow of his wallet.
"Team Wang, here." The young policeman handed the wallet to Wang Shen. "However, the wallet was not found on the deceased, but was still on the ground not far from the deceased."
Wang Shen nodded and opened his wallet. There was nothing else in the wallet except two bank cards and a lipstick. "You see, the money in the wallet should be in these plastic bags. If my hypothesis is true, it is likely that the deceased did not know the murderer. Otherwise, how could the deceased not even know the purpose of the murderer at all. ”
"Since the deceased did not know the murderer. What about the murderer's motive for committing the murder? Is it just to kill? "In the cases that young police officers are exposed to, there is almost an inextricable relationship between the murderer and the victim. So he couldn't understand the purposelessness of murder. Of course, even if it is a stranger, there will always be a variety of motives for committing a crime. Absurdity is as possible if the perpetrator kills for his own mental reasons. "Or, the murderer is trying to rob sex?" The young policeman is still trying his best to find the murderer's motive for the crime.
Wang Shen still shook his head. "You look at the clothes of the deceased, they are very neat, and they don't look like they have been violated at all. Of course, for this, the forensic doctor can be confirmed later by a detailed examination. As soon as Wang Shen finished speaking, another policeman behind him called out and rushed to Wang Shen's side.
"Team Wang, you see, we found this in the trash."
Wang Shen straightened up and looked in amazement at the clown mask in the hand of the other policeman. The clown mask's expression was hideous, which made everyone who saw it feel a chill in their hearts.
"Team Wang, could this mask be a murderer?" The young policeman asked, looking at the mask in Wang Shen's hand.
Wang Shen just nodded and did not answer. Wang Shen looked at the mask in his hand and began to think about the murderer's purpose. If the mask is the murderer's, why did the murderer carry the mask to commit the murder? Is it to prevent Liang Li from recognizing herself? If so, it means that the murderer is not a stranger to Liang Li. But why did the killer leave the mask at the scene of the murder. It should be more reasonable for the murderer to take the mask away and dispose of it.
"Are there any cameras in this alley?" Wang Shen suddenly asked about the monitoring.
"Team Wang, this alley is very old, and the government is planning to demolish it, so there are no monitoring devices installed in the alley."
"Where's the closest surveillance device?" It's just down the road just a short distance away.
Wang Shen thought about the time of Liang Li's death. Judging from the time of death, Liang Li's accident should have been after she left the bar. Then the murderer should have followed Liang Li from the bar. Wang Shen abruptly left the scene of the murder and began to walk in the direction of the bar. Wang Shen turned a few alleys and found traces of vomiting in a corner not far from the bar. Suddenly, something on the ground caught Wang Shen's eye. Wang Shen ran to the corner and squatted down. In the corner, a pair of red high heels are scattered. Wang Shen didn't pay attention to Liang Li's shoes at the bar yesterday, but it is very likely that these shoes were left by Liang Li.
Wang Shen waved his hand at the young policeman who followed behind him. "Take these shoes back to the bureau for a comparison to see if they are the dead." After speaking, Wang Shen stood up again, and began to construct the image of Liang Li's murder in his mind. Liang Li left the bar drunk that night, and the killer began to follow all the way and take action. Liang Li found the murderer and began to flee. Unfortunately, Liang Li turned into a dead end a step away from the main road. In the end, Liang Li was killed by the murderer.
Wang Shen tried hard to think about the murderer's motive in his heart. The murderer's motive for committing the murder this time is only related to San's case. To be precise, it should be related to Zheng Wu, or Han Mo's case. The murderer's motive should be that Liang Li would say some clues that were unfavorable to him.
The murderer chose to commit the murder in the alleyway in the early hours of the morning, which is a very good time. At this point in time, the roadway was already sparsely populated. And it's far from residential areas, and the surrounding shopping malls are long deserted. At this time, even if Liang Li shouted, there was a high probability that she would not be heard. However, in order to prevent Liang Li from recognizing his appearance, the murderer put on a clown mask. On this point, the murderer still handled it very well. There is no surveillance in the lanes, and as long as the murderer avoids the living, his whereabouts will not be discovered. But after the murderer committed the murder, there was a big trouble. When you leave the roadway, you will inevitably pass through an intersection with a monitoring device. The early hours of the morning are sparsely populated, and it is easy to locate suspects if the police investigate and monitor. Even if the killer wears a clown mask, it is difficult to avoid the many surveillances on the road. And even in the early hours of the morning, there are still scattered pedestrians and vehicles on the city's main roads. If the murderer walks with a clown mask, it is too easy to impress.
Regarding this issue, if the murderer was smart, how would he solve it? It's simple, lurking in the bar at night when it's crowded. After the murder, the murderer should not have rushed to leave the scene of the murder, but hid somewhere in this alleyway. When someone discovers the murder and the flow of people begins to swarm, they pretend to be ordinary people and leave the scene. In this way, for the countless people in the surveillance, the police should not be able to determine the accurate target.
In order to achieve this goal, it is too strange to carry a clown mask during the day. Wang Shen felt that the murderer would choose to dispose of the clown mask in the trash nearby based on such considerations.
"The monitoring of the road at the entrance of the alley was between 2 and 4 a.m. By the way, when is the time to report the crime? Wang Shen asked while instructing the young policeman beside him.
"At half past six in the morning, it was discovered by a cleaner."
"Then call up the surveillance between half past six and half past seven in the morning, and I'll use it later when I return to the bureau. You go now. ”
"Okay, Team Wang." The young policeman received Wang Shen's assignment and trotted all the way away from the murder scene.
Wang Shen returned to the place where the deceased had died, holding red high-heeled shoes in a plastic bag. Wang Shen handed over the high-heeled shoes to a policeman at the scene, and took out a few more banknotes that had been sealed and observed. Wang Shen's eyes rested on one of the banknotes. There turned out to be a clear ...... on this banknote That's right, it's shoe prints. But if you want to compare such a sole pattern, it seems to be a bit of a needle in a haystack.
"I really want to know this pattern, why don't you show me?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Wang Shen.
Wang Shen was startled, turned around and saw that Xu Xiaolin was standing behind him. "Why are you here? Who let you in? How did you let her in! Wang Shen was a little angry and shouted at the police behind him.
The policeman behind him bowed his head tremblingly. One of them explained hesitantly: "Didn't I see Team Wang take her to the police station before, saying that she was some kind of assistant?" ”
"How did you come here, get out." Wang Shen glanced at Xu Xiaolin angrily.
"Oh, I had a signing party nearby, and I saw that it was so lively, so I came to see it. That one. Xu Xiaolin pointed to the banknote in Wang Shen's hand. I really know the sole pattern. ”
