Chapter 119: The True Face of the Murderer
Wang Shui'er's shouting, Yang Qian's chuckle and Julie's exclamation echoed each other downstairs.
Seeing Wang Lei stand up with a smile on his face, several people had to follow, Wang Shui'er held a very old peacock from Chinatown in her hand, she smiled and inserted it in her bun, and the pearl held in the peacock's mouth swayed with it, and the momentary style made Wang Lei a little trance, as if returning to the days with his wife.
After flattering and appeasing the two women, Yang Qian and Wang Shui'er carried a large number of shopping bags into the room and sorted them out. Here, Wang Lei didn't bother to go upstairs, and at Julie's suggestion, everyone came to the pool to sit down, drink coffee, and listen to Wang Lei continue the analysis just now.
Wang Lei's opinion is that Lan Keer's unreasonable behavior in the elevator video is a phenomenon of bipolar episodes. She was in a depressed state when she walked into the elevator, and the whole person was relatively quiet.
Then, because of the failure of the elevator or the motherboard or the mechanical machinery, the depression begins to subside, and manic symptoms appear.
In addition, Lan Keer went out two days ago and met some people who teased her, and her manic illness was instantly magnified in the quiet and small space of the elevator, and there was an extremely strange behavior in the back.
Just after Lan Keer chose to give up the elevator and take the stairs instead, she unfortunately met the murderer or the murderer had been watching her.
Naturally, the murderer also lived in the hotel, and it was not short. The killer has to choose a suitable target, at least in the category of a thin woman who is alone, unsociable, and unaccompanied by locals.
The target of this range will not attract much attention immediately after the move, so that the murderer can abandon the corpse. The second reason is that the murderer's action will not fail because of the victim's strong resistance.
What is certain is that the murderer abandoned the body on the night of the killing of Lan Keer, that is, in the middle of the night of January 31, and the murderer abandoned the body that night.
The killer should have known Eric, or had an acquaintance with the staff inside the hotel, so that he could get the key to the roof. Of course, it is also possible that this person accomplices the killer to turn off the alarm on the other door on the roof.
Wang Lei himself initially thought that Lan Keer did die of suffocation, but not in the water tank.
It is likely that the killer suffocated Lan Keer by covering her mouth and nose with a soaked towel, which is consistent with the dry asphyxia described in the Los Angeles Police Forensic Center in the post-mortem report.
And then, the murderer. Take off. Light. Lan Keer's clothes were thrown into the water tank. Moreover, the figure of the murderer will not be very tall.
Nathan couldn't understand: "Wang Lei, what reason do you have to think that the murderer is thin and weak?" ”
"The murderer wants to abandon the corpse, and it is impossible to hold one directly. Bare. When the body went to the top of the building, she was supposed to be packed inside with something like a suitcase, maybe a blanket or something, and then a rope tied to the outside of the box. In this case, because there was no binding, there were no traces left on Lan Ke'er's body. Wang Lei smiled, took out a cigarette and threw one by one.
Julie didn't expect Wang Lei to throw a cigarette to her, and couldn't help but laugh. Wang Lei realized that he was sorting out his thoughts while talking, and he was fascinated.
Then on the opportunity to light a cigarette, Wang Lei smirked to hide his embarrassment in the past. Coleman and Nathan didn't notice the comedy that happened just now, and they were carefully considering every word of Wang Lei in their hearts.
The explanation just now only answered half of Nathan's question, Wang Lei habitually smoked a cigarette, rubbed his chin, and continued to crumple his thoughts about the whole case.
If the murderer was smart, he would have chosen to climb to the top of the water tower first and hoist the suitcase with a rope, which would have been much easier than carrying a corpse on his back to climb a 90-degree right-angled ladder more than 3 meters high.
After the body was pulled up, it must have been lying on top of the water tower. Then, the murderer will untie the blanket or other similar items on Lan Keer's body next, because his own strength is also consumed, so the best choice for the murderer is to push the corpse down directly, instead of holding the corpse up first and throwing it down on his head and feet.
"This is what Lan Ke'er is doing to sink headfirst at the bottom of the tank. As for the distortion of the whole body, it is even simpler, Lan Ke'er's body is twisted in the box, otherwise how could it be stuffed in. After an hour or two of shaping, the stiff corpse could not stretch out. ”
"Why do you spend an hour or two? It may have been the killer waiting for the hotel insider he knew to get the roof key or turn off the alarm. Wang Lei waved his hand vigorously and said with great certainty.
The more Julie thought about it, the more she felt that Wang Lei's analysis was very thorough, at least so far she had not found a loophole. Coleman spoke: "In that case, why do you need the murderer. Take off. Light. Lan Keer's clothes, and threw them back behind the door of Lan Keer's room, wouldn't it be better to let them sink into the water tank with Lan Keer? ”
Shaking his head, Wang Lei was speechless about Coleman's misunderstanding: "There is a discussion in the outside world that the reason why Lan Keer's whole body is twisted is because the water outlet of the water tank has suction, do you really think that such a little suction is enough to distort Lan Keer's bones?" ”
"I understand, the murderer is very careful, he is worried that the suction of the outlet will suck Lan Keer's clothes, so that the hotel will find that the water tank is clogged too soon, so as to find Lan Keer's body, and the murderer needs time to eliminate all traces." Julie exclaimed with joy.
Coleman grabbed a handful of messy hair, embarrassed by his sluggishness, and Wang Lei and Nathan applauded together.
"The water quality of the hotel was tested after the discovery of Lan Keer's body, and there were no germs and odors. I think that's because the water in the tank is flowing and the temperature is not high in January, so Lan Keer's body has not deteriorated. ”
Wang Lei began to make conclusions, and the waists of the three of Kaulman couldn't help but straighten: "From the murderer's point of view, based on his perverted psychology, after he eliminated all traces, he hoped that someone would be able to find the body and make this matter known, so that the murderer would have a sense of satisfaction and achievement......"
According to Wang Lei's opinion, the most suspicious ones now are Eric and Stephen, who first complained about the taste of water. He suggested that the F.B.I. should contact the British police to monitor Stephen and then thoroughly investigate the ties and relationships between Eric and Stephen at the same time.
Because now if you want to find evidence, you must find a certain belongings of Lan Keer who was left as a memorial by the murderer, which requires the FBI to contact Lan Keer's family to confirm any trinkets that Lan Keer had on when he was traveling.
"I don't think we're going to inform the UK police for the time being, the FBI has a secondary branch and a judicial representative office in the UK, and we can arrange for personnel to conduct a modest investigation." Coleman made no secret of the FBI's international and diverse operations, casually telling Wang Lei that the FBI has a total of 45 overseas offices and 56 branches throughout the United States.
In the following days, Wang Lei began to do nothing again, small cases that the FBI could solve by themselves, and cases with large impact were not currently available.
Coleman and Nathan were nowhere to be seen for a while, and Wang Lei knew that it was to arrange for the operation of Eric's 24-hour surveillance and coordination of Stephen's investigation.
There is one thing that Yang Qian asked Wang Lei privately several times, why don't she call China, but Wang Lei has never answered positively. If you don't diverge the topic, you don't care about laughing a few times and delaying it.
Julie was very surprised that Wang Lei had not shared a bed with his two girlfriends, and repeatedly wanted to ask when he accompanied Wang Shui'er to contact English conversations, but couldn't help but didn't speak.
When the three women were swimming at noon one day, Julie couldn't restrain her curiosity: "Yang Qian, Wang Shui'er, since you are all girlfriends for the sake of it, why do you sleep separately every day?" ”
Wang Shui'er's laughter in the water stopped immediately, and the people quieted down, and Yang Qian couldn't stop smiling bitterly. Julie Daqi: "Wang Lei is still very young, is there a defect in that aspect of the function?" ”
Wang Shui'er was choked by Julie's fiery and swallowed a mouthful of water, coughing incessantly. Yang Qian was about to explain, but was startled by Wang Shui'er, and immediately swam over to help her pat her back.
Julie thought that she was right, and comforted the two women who were alone in the empty room with sympathy: "Don't worry, American medicine is very advanced, I will help you introduce a hospital and send Wang Lei to treatment for a month or two, and you can experience that happy life again." ”
The three women were originally on the other side of the pool, and Wang Lei, who was thinking about things on the deck chair at the other end, couldn't hear it. But because Yang Qian went to pat Wang Shui'er on the back, Julie subconsciously raised her voice.
Julie's last sentence Wang Lei heard it clearly, man, he couldn't be more sensitive to this problem, he was almost impulsive enough to stand up and tell Julie loudly: "What's the matter, is it up to you to personally test and inspect the test, my function will be problematic, hum!" ”
A wise man will not quarrel with a woman, and it is three women, grabbing his sunglasses, Wang Lei quickly moved and fled. Wang Shui'er's already alleviated cough was made unable to restrain his wild laughter by Wang Lei's too obvious escape, and a few mouthfuls of water poured into his throat, Wang Shui'er became more miserable than before.
Back in the room, Wang Lei was still thinking about what he was thinking about just now. It is impossible for the FBI to provide itself with such generous conditions just by helping to solve a few cases, so what is Robert's ultimate goal!
More than half a month later, Coleman and Nathan came to the small building. After being tracked by the British branch of the FBI, Coleman found an earring worn by Lan Keer in a tree farm cabin that Stephen frequented.
Because Lan Keer used to wear only one earring, it was still an invisible ear clip style, and no ear piercings were found on the corpse at that time, so the Los Angeles police ignored this small thing, and the coroner did not find this......
