Chapter 268: Murderer Characteristics

The criminal police I asked finally found Pastor Luo's medical records in a nearby hospital, generally speaking, as long as there are medium and large hospitals nearby, ordinary people will not go too far to seek medical treatment, not to mention that Pastor Luo is busy in the church. By the time the detective brought back the news, I had already returned to the police station.

I was sitting alone in Shen Cheng's office, and I had called him several times, but he didn't answer the phone. I wanted to tell him that we were all led down the wrong path by the murderer. During this period, many criminal policemen also came into the office to look for Shen Cheng, as if they had something to report, but even they didn't know where Shen Cheng went.

The detective brought back Pastor Luo's medical records from a nearby hospital, and after getting them, I quickly flipped through them a few times. Pastor Lowe suffers from heart disease and often needs to take acute prescription medications, and among the prescriptions given to Pastor Lowe is a box of heart-saving pills.

The criminal police also brought back a bottle of heart-saving pills, and with the medicine bottle in his hand, I was even more sure that Pastor Luo's medicine bottle was transferred. The pill's vial was exactly the same size and shape as the one used to hold the poison at the bottom of Pastor Lowe's box, except for the packaging on it.

The bottle used to hold the poison appeared to have been soaked in water, and the paper label on it had fallen off. After being transferred, as soon as Pastor Lo became ill, he would anxiously take out the medicine bottle from the bottom of the box to take the medicine, and at that time, it was impossible for Pastor Lo to tell if there was a problem with the bottle.

Moreover, according to the murderer's calculating mind, it is impossible for him to think that if Pastor Luo really found out that there was something wrong with the medicine bottle. Therefore, I can boldly speculate that the label on the medicine bottle that Pastor Lo originally used to hold the heart-saving pill has also fallen off, and the murderer really imitated an identical medicine bottle.

Moreover, I took out a few heart-saving pills and looked at them carefully, the size and shape of these heart-saving pills were strikingly similar to the poison that Pastor Lowe had taken. The bottle is the same, the pill is the same, and Pastor Lowe was in an emergency situation at the time of his illness, and the medicine was transferred, which doomed him to return to God's embrace, in the words of religious people.

And the purpose of the murderer to change the bottle is also worth considering. The killer did not change the pill, but changed the entire medicine bottle, and it was obvious that the murderer did not want the police to find out that Pastor Luo had a heart attack, because, if only the pill was replaced, there would be drug residues inside the bottle. If the police found out that Pastor Luo had a heart attack, the matter of the drug being transferred would not be hidden, and the illusion of suicide would not be hidden from everyone, so the murderer replaced the entire medicine bottle.

This analysis is supported by facts. Pastor Lowe has a heart condition, and under normal circumstances, there should be a case of diagnosis in his home, but the police and I searched Pastor Lowe's entire home and found nothing, the church is where Pastor Lowe stays most often, and there should be some life-saving medicine there, but again, we couldn't find it.

Obviously, the murderer took all of this away for a very simple purpose, he wanted the police not to guess Pastor Lowe's death because the medicine had been transferred. This is consistent with the murderer's purpose of not only changing the medicine, but also changing the new medicine bottle.

However, after all, the murderer is a secret, and there are many things that the murderer has no way to control. After all, the human body is not a snake, rat, ant and insect, and after swallowing that kind of poison, the time of poison will also vary depending on the human body. After taking the poison, Pastor Lo was able to recover physically and mentally for a while, perhaps because of the psychological effect, and it was because of this that he habitually stuffed the medicine bottle back at the bottom of the suitcase.

If Pastor Lowe had not been able to stuff the medicine bottle back to the bottom of the box before he died, no one would have guessed that Pastor Lowe had died because the medicine had been tampered with. Pastor Lowe kept his illness a secret, and neither the congregation nor the congregation knew that he had a heart attack, so if the medicine bottle was casually dropped on the bed or floor in the hotel, everyone would think that Pastor Lowe had committed suicide in fear of sin.

"Screen everyone who knows Pastor Lowe, especially those who are very close enough to be in and out of Pastor Lowe's home." After a moment of thought, I said to the police officer who was reporting. Shen Cheng arranged for me to have an appropriate police force, and he explained it before leaving, so the criminal police immediately did as I was told.

Based on various speculations and clues, I have analyzed the general characteristics of the murderer.

First of all, the murderer has a middle and higher education and has a rich and professional knowledge of physics, of course, this professional knowledge may also come from self-study. This made me connect with so many physics books in Pastor Lowe's house, and it can be said that there is more than one way to kill people, and it seems a bit troublesome for the murderer to kill people by using physical methods.

However, trouble is also good for the murderer, as Pastor Lowe also likes to study physics. Once the police investigate the killer's method of killing, the suspicion naturally shifts to Pastor Lowe. In other words, the murderer knew that Pastor Lowe liked to study physics.

Ordinary strangers are unlikely to know that acquaintances are more likely to commit crimes.

Second, at the time of the bombing, the killer was at Pastor Lowe's home. I have ruled out the possibility that Pastor Lowe was the murderer, because it is impossible for the murderer to leave so much evidence of the crime, including the calculation of the physical killing, in his own home. At the time of the bombing, the murderer was definitely using a long-distance condenser to focus the light, and this person was not Pastor Lowe, then he was the real murderer.

This also means that the murderer and Pastor Lowe are acquaintances, so it is possible to enter and exit Pastor Lowe's home. It was broad daylight when the bombing occurred, and many people were standing at the door chatting, and it was unlikely that the killer would sneak in. I've also focused my investigation on this, and even if Pastor Lowe brought the murderer into the house, someone would have found out.

There is also one piece of evidence that proves that the murderer is an acquaintance of Pastor Lowe: the medicine bottle that was transferred. The killer's ability to rebag the pill bottle meant that he was able to get closer to Pastor Lowe, and that he knew that Pastor Law had a heart condition. Even the congregants in the church did not know that Pastor Lo had a heart attack, which shows how good the relationship between the murderer and Pastor Lo was.

In addition, those who have the opportunity to have access to all of Pastor Lowe's medical records and visits, as well as pills, from his home and church office will only be able to go to Pastor Lowe's home. On top of that, the killer knew Pastor Lowe's physical condition very well and even knew when he would become ill.

I have stressed to everyone more than once that the murderer did not kill by luck, and that all the episodes were calculated by him, including the death of Pastor Lowe. The murderer knew that the police would find Pastor Luo sooner or later, and he also knew that when Pastor Luo heard the news, there was a very high chance, or 100% that he would get sick.

People with heart disease, especially in old age, should not have too many mood swings, otherwise they will get sick. Moreover, people with long-term illness have formed a dependence on drugs, and even if there is no disease, only the signs of illness will be tempted to take medicine to prevent the onset of disease.

The murderer took advantage of Pastor Luo's habits and patterns of illness and medication to commit the murder.

Three homicides, four deceased, the murderer's method of killing can be described as superb, if you are not a thoughtful person, it is difficult to solve the mystery of the murderer killing the deceased without touching him. This is one of the few high-IQ crimes I have seen, and these three homicides are not only highly effective in criminal methods, but each case is interlocking, and the murderer left a lot of evidence for the police to investigate, so as to guide the police's thinking.

Now that I think about it, if the police really took Pastor Lowe as the murderer, then several people would have died unjustly.

I waited in the office for a while, and finally, some of the detectives who had gone out to investigate returned. They went to Pastor Lowe's house to make inquiries, and several residents told the police that on the day of the bombing, they did see Pastor Law returning home from the church, but Pastor Lowe went home alone and did not take anyone back.

On that day, many residents had been sitting in front of their homes since early in the morning doing handicrafts, so you can testify that no one has been alone in Pastor Lowe's house since the morning.

I frowned, and when I reported the situation, several of the detectives were still looking down and whispering, and they were laughing at me for guessing wrong.
