Chapter 23: Hunting for the Murderer
"If the murderer doesn't know that Bai Qi is dead, then we may still have a chance to let the murderer throw himself into the net, but this is a student dormitory, and we can't set a trap here to catch the murderer." Lao Chen said.
"You don't have to set it up, I don't think the murderer should come, no matter how much you close the news, it's useless, the murderer is an Internet master, and now almost all the students in this girls' dormitory know that there is a suicide here, I believe that at least 20% of people will post on Moments and Weibo, we can't hide it." Xu Tian said.
"There is some truth in what you said, then it will be very difficult to arrest the murderer now."
"We can't wait for the murderer to show up, at this point, the murderer may continue to instigate others to commit suicide, if you want to arrest the murderer, the supernatural forum is the key."
"Are you trying to lock down the killer through the users of the paranormal forum?"
"yes, let's get out of school first! Can you borrow a laptop? Now it's better to analyze how to apprehend the murderer in the car. ”
"If you want to borrow a laptop, you have to go back to the police station, and we might as well go back to the police station to analyze it when we have that time."
"Do you want to use a computer? I can lend it to you. A familiar voice suddenly came from outside the dormitory door.
Xu Tian and Lao Chen looked out, and the person who spoke turned out to be Hailan.
"Hyland? Why are you here? Xu Tian asked in surprise.
"Look at what you said, why can't I be here? I'm a student at this school too! Hyland said with a complacent expression.
"You're a student? Didn't you work at the stadium the night before? Xu Tian asked.
"I was working part-time, I was in graduate school at this school, and I hadn't graduated yet."
"Where's your dorm?"
"Upstairs, I saw you coming up from downstairs in the dormitory, and I heard that someone had committed suicide in this dormitory, so I guessed you came here."
"Then you expected us to use a computer?"
"I'm not that godly, I want to go to class with the computer, but I just heard you at the door say that you want to use the computer, and it doesn't hurt if I lend it to you."
"And what are you going to do in class?"
"It's okay, I'll just copy my classmates' information when I go back."
"That'...... Thank you! Xu Tian took the computer suspiciously.
"It looks like you don't trust me." Hyland said.
"Thank you! Will be returned soon. ”
"Don't worry, just give it to me before the evening. But I have one more thing, you won't forget what I once said to you, will you? I knew we'd meet again, and now you believe in fate, right? ”
"Destiny is all created by itself, and I don't believe in such things as fate."
"That's because you haven't met it yet, and if you've been through something yourself, you wouldn't say that." When Hailan said this, her face became very calm, and the frivolity between her eyebrows was gone. "Alright, I'm going to class, come on!"
Xu Tian and Lao Chen returned to the car, turned on the computer and logged in to the supernatural forum, Xu Tian checked the posts made by the girls who were killed these days one by one according to the information Lao Chen found last night.
"How are you going to track down the killer?" Lao Chen asked.
"I'm going to summarize the content of the posts made by these girls who have committed suicide recently, they all have suicidal thoughts, and they must have posted negative content here." Xu Tian said as he tapped on the keyboard.
"You haven't said anything about Xiaoshuang's murder, do you know the circus's modus operandi?" Lao Chen asked.
"Do you want to know about this?" Xu Tian stopped typing on the keyboard, raised his head and said.
"Of course, I can see it if you don't say it, it's obvious that Xiao Shuang's case is different from other cases."
"That's right, I think so too, and the case that happened at Hailan's house four years ago is also different from these cases."
"You mean, these two cases are not the same thing as the case of serial instigation of a girl to commit suicide?"
"Obviously not, these cases of serial instigation of girls to commit suicide have one thing in common, that is, the body of the murdered girl was hung from the window when she died, whether it was her own home, or school, anyway, they all died in a similar way. And the murderer had a very good plan to get out when he did these cases, but Xiao Shuang's case was different, judging from the results of Xiao Shuang's death scene investigation, Xiao Shuang was undoubtedly shot by someone in the audience and died. If the murderer who killed Xiao Shuang and the murderer who serial instigated the girl to commit suicide were the same person, then that case would not have been so troublesome in high school, and if the murderer had the skills to shoot, there was no need to climb to the roof of the building to commit the crime, so I think Xiao Shuang's case could be excluded. But I think Xiao Shuang's case is also a little related to these cases, that is, the murderer who killed Xiao Shuang is suspected of deliberately imitating the serial instigation of the girl to commit suicide, if so, it means that the murderer who killed Xiao Shuang knows about these things that happened in the supernatural forum, and the murderer who killed Xiao Shuang also knows that there will be many similar cases in the days after Xiao Shuang's death, which is very scary. Xu Tian said.
"If so, it's scary enough! Compared to the murderer who serially instigated the girl to commit suicide, I think the murderer who killed Xiao Shuang is more terrifying, and that person is even smarter and more insightful than the murderer who serially instigated the girl to commit suicide. Lao Chen said.
"That's right, but what we have to do now is to arrest the murderer who instigated the girl's suicide, and we will put the case of Xiao Shuang and Hailan's family in the back first."
Buzzing......
Lao Chen's phone rang again, Xu Tian's heart was shocked, and a bad premonition sprouted in Xu Tian's heart.
After Lao Chen hung up the phone, Xu Tian could tell from Lao Chen's frightened expression that the most feared thing had indeed happened.
"He's dead?" Xu Tian asked.
"Yes!" Lao Chen nodded.
"Where was the body found?"
"In front of the psychological clinic, the first witness was Yanzi, the deceased was sitting in front of the psychological clinic wearing overalls with broadband installed, when Yanzi happened to pass by, and found that something was wrong, so he went up to take a look, and found that the person was dead."
"Let's go to the psychiatric clinic quickly!"
"Wait! Before I do that, I want to tell you one thing, this case may not be as simple as you think, if that body is really the murderer who instigated the girl's suicide......"
"Then this isn't your average criminal case, is it?" Xu Tian took Lao Chen's words and said.
"You know everything?" Lao Chen looked very shocked.
"We've already met, but since trouble has come to the door, then we can't escape, instead of worrying here, let's hurry to the scene of the crime and take a look."
