Lecter is a priest in a small church by the sea in Los Angeles. The church is very famous in the Chinese community of Los Angeles, and there are many couples who hold their weddings here.

The church is so small that it doesn't even allow people to move around. There are 8 steps outside the church, and down the stairs is a park opposite the church, and before the rainy season comes, the whole green area has been completely yellowed.

The church at dusk is particularly solemn and solemn in the nostalgic yellow.

Lecter is 56 years old and still has a lot to do every day. Today he attended an important gathering in the community, and Lechter spoke about how to help young people who have just come out of prison to find a normal job again, so that they can return to a normal life.

As Lecter walked slowly, he wondered if he would go to the community to raise some money to provide some more tangible help to the lost Lambs of God.

In the church, a trembling old woman is standing and praying, Gillian was born here, grew up here, from a baby to the gray hair she is now, Gillian loves her family and everything here.

After praying, Gillian saw a man in a black jumpsuit with a hood on his head standing bowed at the holy water bowl in front of her.

Despite her age, Gillian's eyes were not presbyopia, and she noticed at a glance that the man in black's drooping right hand seemed to be playing the piano, constantly flicking on his right leg.

Jilian knew almost everyone in the community, even the gangsters in the community, when they saw Jilian, they would stop and respectfully call "Grandma Jilian." ”

Out of concern, Gillian raised her voice a little, "Hello, do you need help?" ”

The man in black didn't react, neither answered, nor looked back.

Gillian took a step forward and asked again, "Hello, do you need help?" ”

The man in black stood motionless like a dead log, not responding to Gillian's question. I don't know why, Jilian's heartbeat accelerated a little.

Holding her chest, Gillian drew a cross, walked almost parallel to the man in black, turned her head, and asked again, "Hello, do you need help?" ”

There was no movement in the black hood of the man in black, and Gillian found that she couldn't see the man's face, as if the hood had magical powers, absorbing all light.

The fingers of the man's right hand were still flicking on his thigh, and Gillian was scared, very scared, and she felt that if she stood here for a few more seconds, she would go into shock.

Stumbling, Gillian ran out of the church with all her strength, until she ran to a group of children playing football, and then she felt that her whole body was not so cold, and she began to warm up.

In the church confession room, after the man in black entered, Lecter heard the bell, didn't care about resting, put down the cup in his hand and hurriedly walked over.

Through a layer of openwork window railings, Lecter calmed his rapid breath and asked as softly as he could, "My child, what do you want to say?" ”

Lecter's answer was a "bang" on the muzzle of a gun that he could not see clearly, and the bullet went through the window bar and into the priest's right chest. The man in black pushed the door open, opened the small door on the priest's side, and held up the pitch-black blade in his hand......

Feeling much more comfortable, Gillian smiled and said a few words to the children, ready to go home. She was stunned by the dull sound of gunfire in the church, and at this time, there would only be a priest inside.

No, Gillian shuddered, and the terrifying man in black.

When Wang Lei's large group arrived, the Los Angeles police spotlights illuminated the church as if it were daylight. In the church, Gillian lay on her seat, crying sadly.

"That man, it must be the priest that the man killed. Forgive me, God, for my cowardice, if I hadn't run away, maybe the priest wouldn't. "Gillian is a very devout Catholic, and she repents that she went to inform the priest for what she didn't know.

Lecter, such a good old man, a priest who dutifully helped everyone, Gillian felt deep reproach in her heart.

Yang Qian and Julie supported Jilian on both sides, and Wang Shui'er stood in the gap of the chair behind her, gently patting her on the back and persuading her.

Raymond came from the confessional room with a gloomy face: "The same murderer, like Lawrence and Brian's death scenes, still leaves no trace. ”

Could it be that the murderer and Lecter have a personal vendetta, this sentence was asked by Nathan. Raymond shook his head: "Lecter is a good old man, he has been working for decades to bring the community's troubled teenagers back on track, and this large part of the population will only respect him." ”

Wang Lei's brain is running at a high speed, what is the purpose of the murderer's continuous killing, as long as this purpose is found, the search and pursuit below will no longer be blind.

"Raymond, you call your forensic laboratory right away, I want to know some details about the blade in the deceased's brain." Wang Lei believes that in the case that the murderer did not leave any traces, perhaps there may be a breakthrough from the characteristics of the murder weapon.

Raymond nodded, the forensic results were almost time to come out. Coleman was puzzled: "Wang Lei, do you think there is something special about the blade in the deceased's brain?" ”

Coleman believes that since the murderer was so careful that he did not leave the slightest trace at five consecutive murder scenes, the blades in the deceased's brain must have been so common and common that they could be bought everywhere.

The center of the investigation should not be placed in this aspect, perhaps, it must be like the zodiac, by sending a large number of people to conduct a wide net of visits and investigations, it may be possible to find some useful clues.

Although the approach taken by the San Francisco police and the FBI did not work for the zodiac, it does not indicate that it will not be effective in this case.

Raymond quickly received a reply: "The blade of the deceased's brain was made of flint. ”

Everyone was in a daze, flint, that thing was very hard, and the murderer chose the most tender part of the human head, no wonder it could easily pierce the brain of each victim.

Moreover, the murderer must have also worked on the grip of the flint blade himself, otherwise he would not have been able to break the handle.

"I know." Wang Lei clenched his fists with both hands: "Raymond, gather your men, I want to make a profile of the murderer, so that their next patrol and search direction will be targeted." ”

In the Los Angeles Police Department's Homicide Bureau office, Coleman, Nathan, and three women sat in the front, and more than a dozen police officers in the back. As for the identities of the three women, Coleman's explanation to Raymond was that they were Wang Lei's assistants.

Although, no matter how Raymond looks at it, he feels that these three women are not only not like Wang Lei's assistants, but they are almost the same as his girlfriends. God, the three girlfriends are still together, and the abuse that Wang Lei is about to receive makes Raymond shudder.

"My next analysis may not be able to identify the killer, but it can help you narrow down your search." This is Wang Lei's opening remarks.

Wang Lei was not in a hurry to depict a murderer in a few sentences, so the understanding of the policemen below was superficial, and it was easy to ignore many small problems in the actual search.

This is also Wang Lei's work habit for many years, as long as any case is willing to be crumpled and meticulous, after everyone thoroughly understands it, it will not be far from catching the murderer.

Ancient Rome, the goddess of fairness and justice, has statues or portraits of her in many courts in the United States. She is a symbol of justice and morality as the basis of the law, holding a scale in one hand, a sword made of flint in the other, and wearing a blindfold.

Specifically, the balance represents the judgment of the goddess, and the sword indicates the sanction from the goddess. Above all, the blindfold is implicit in telling everyone that a just trial and sanction from the Goddess will disregard the power, status, lineage, status, and appearance of any of the accused.

"The murderer thinks he is executing a very righteous trial, and in his own opinion, he is performing a sacred ritual. So, this is a highly premeditated selective killing. Wang Lei's conclusion was earth-shattering, causing everyone to keep talking to each other.

Wang Lei smiled, knocked on the table, and it was quiet below. Wang Lei was very sure of his own inference, and even Coleman and the three women on the side were thoughtful.

"First of all, according to the circumstances of the murderer's crime, they all chose after dusk or in a hidden corner, indicating that the murderer has a stable career and must go to work during the day."

Moreover, the killer always shot and wounded the victim first, even with the female deceased. This indicates that the murderer suffered from some kind of physical disease or was short in stature, and had to use the wound to bring the deceased under control quickly. The policemen did not doubt this judgment, but showed a look of "I see" suddenly realized.

A black policeman below raised his hand: "That means we're looking for a tall, day-to-day white man who is cynical, right?" ”

There was a burst of laughter, Raymond glared at the black policeman, the FBI is sitting here, how dare you say these racist words casually.

"It's okay, there is some truth in his words." Wang Lei nodded, he believed that the murderer committed the crime with ideals, and he had a noble fantasy, and if a person lived in the fantasy for a long time, he would not be able to extricate himself.

Unless he thinks he has fulfilled his heart's desire, his murder will continue to go on because reality is no substitute for fantasy.

"So, although we still have a lot of things that we don't know about now." Wang Lei began to summarize: "However, we can be sure that if the murderer is not caught as soon as possible, he will keep killing more people and will set off a bloody storm in Los Angeles!" ”
