Tan Zhongxia was about to speak again, probably still wanting to discuss with me his analysis just now, and I stabbed him with a stern look on the ground and told him to shut up. He closed his mouth, crossed his arms and sat down in his chair as he began to sleep, his long legs stretched straight in front of him.

I re-arranged the files of the four cases again, sorted out the common points and the suspicious points that did not fit the pattern, thought desperately, racked my brains with all my might, and finally thought of a discordant point that had always been hidden inside: stiffness.

This serial case is definitely not a trial-style murder carried out by a gang of several perverts with antisocial personalities, as Tan Zhongxia believes, nor is it definitely not like what he thinks, the murderer does not have any obsessive-compulsive disorder and is used to doing whatever he wants.

Neither.

It is certain that there is more than one murderer, at least two or more, and perhaps even more likely, that each case was not committed by the same person. Now I don't analyze the personalities, but only look at them as a whole, which is not only particular about patterns, but perhaps it can be said that it is almost harsh, which is why it seems so stiff and dissonant.

Looking at each case as an individual doesn't feel too blunt, but when you look at it together, there are more problems. Why did you have to stab Yu Min seven times at the risk of potentially injuring the aorta or vital point, instead of the safer one or two? Why did he have to burn Luo Bofan alive on the dry river beach at the risk of being seen by passers-by? Why is it that he is obviously cowardly and cowardly, but he is not the material for a butcher, but he has to choose such cruel and terrible means to disembowel Tie Jun?

Then, why did the first few cases seem to have a relatively fixed pattern, but when it came to the "head smashing case", it broke through the pattern and did not make the victim suffer much, and directly stoned the matter to death, although there were many more smashes in the back, but it was clearly a move to vent anger.

Why exactly?

The only reason I can think of is that they don't have a choice.

They have to.

All of this, the time, the place, the target, and the manner of death, were not chosen by the murderer's own will, but for some objective reason, it had to be.

What are the particular reasons that compel a murderer to follow such an amorphous pattern? When I think about it, there is probably only one possibility.

Revenge.

A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye will cause this.

This discovery has been merged with what I have always insisted on, and it will not be wrong, this criminal gang is the Avengers, and it will not be wrong. This is the only way to explain all the anger and hatred that I feel so strongly, and the doubts that I can't figure out in the case.

I think it is very likely that the four deceased in the case: Yu Min, Luo Bofan, Tie Jun, and Wang Jun, have all committed murder and bloodshed, and they have killed others by stabbing them seven times, burning, disemboweling their stomachs, and stoning their heads, and now, the relatives of the victims in those cases suddenly gathered together through a certain channel to form the Avengers, and committed these four murders, and they are using them to return the ......

Wait, it doesn't seem right, have these four dead really committed such a brutal murder before? Why didn't I mention any correlation when I did the background check? Is the murderer looking for the wrong object of revenge? No, it's just a matter of finding one fault, it's impossible to find all four faults, and it's so wrong that there is no trace of it.

Or is it just that the murderer doesn't care who the real revenge is, and just casually takes his hatred out of another scumbag?

Is this really possible?

In any case, the most important thing now is to immediately look up the old cases and see if there are any cases similar to these four types of homicide, whether they have been solved or unsolved, they must be investigated. If there is, it will prove that my revenge thesis is correct, then rummage through the old case for new clues, and then consider why the murderer took revenge on these four people.

I slammed into my feet and wanted to call Tan Zhongxia to send someone to investigate, but he was not there. I had just slept in a chair by the wall, and after a few minutes of hard work, I slipped away. Suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly, like a knight who has no end in sight.

I had to find someone else, but unfortunately Fu Yuxin was not in the bureau at all, Liu Yimin came back, and was trapped in the hall on the first floor to deal with the big reporter who tossed the dead.

Who else can I look for? There was an acquaintance in front of him, Wang Dongsheng, but he was from the forensic department and was not in charge of this mess.

Wang Dongsheng looked at me looking around uncertainly, smiled, and said: "Alas, you girl, more than 20 people, you are not stable, be careful that you can't marry in the future." ”

I accosted him absent-mindedly and said, "Go, I'm taking the pure and lovely princess route, waiting for the prince on a white horse, so I don't need you to that useless heart." ”

I didn't know the volume, and I shouted a little louder, causing a few police officers passing by to snicker, so that I could barely remember what I was trying to do in a hurry.

Hu Hailian happened to come down from upstairs, and when she heard the stinky and shameless words I shouted, she laughed twice and said, "Miss Su, your bloody and fresh skin is really getting thicker and thicker, and a bullet can't penetrate it." ”

When I saw her, I immediately remembered what I was anxious about, dragged her into the conference room, and told her to hurry up and investigate whether there had been any other murders similar to the four cases in the past five years, or possibly in the past ten years. Regardless of whether the case has been closed or not, as long as there is one, the file will be transferred to me.

Hu Hailian is a very smart person, as soon as I finished speaking, she understood the reason, and without asking any more questions, she pulled out her legs and did what she was told.

Watching her back disappear in a flash, I felt very unhappy, and a little aggrieved for her, obviously a person who was qualified for promotion, and I couldn't afford such a good life. Tan Zhongxia, who was too lazy to die, and now probably hid in which storage room to sleep in, had a good fate, and he descended into the sky and became the vice captain.

I really can't understand this kind of thing in the officialdom workplace, it is estimated that he is hard enough in the background and wide enough, otherwise I really don't know how to explain it.

The next thing I have to do is wait for news.

It took two days to wait for all the news to arrive, but it was of little use, and it could almost be said that all roads were dead ends.

Hu Hailian only found a case of smashing his head with a stone, which seems to be a bit similar to the current case, but the details are completely incorrect, and the murderer of that case was caught shortly after the crime three years ago, there are human and material evidence, and the murderer also pleaded guilty, and it has nothing to do with it. So my previous reasoning may not hold up.

Bai Yafeng went to check the mobile phone number used by the deceased Yu Min in the "Seven Knife Case" before her death, but all her relatives and friends said that she only had that number, and she had not changed it for ten years. So it is only possible that she bought a new number without identity registration shortly before she arrived in Qianzhou, probably instigated or requested by the murderer, and only used that number to contact. It's almost a dead end anyway.

Although the third feedback has nothing to do with serial cases, it is actually a dead end.

Xiaohai asked me to help find a place called "Beipaigou", I first asked Liu Yimin, he is an authentic old Qianzhou person, thought he should know, but he has never heard of it, gave me a mobile phone number and said that it was who in the computer department, and asked me to contact him to let him help enter the household registration file system or municipal urban construction system to check, it may be the old place name in the early years. But after checking for two days, I replied to the message and came to me, saying that there was no such place name.

It's just inexplicable.

I thought it would be a simple thing to help Xiaohai check an address, but who knew that there would be no results, so I couldn't help but be confused, and asked Xiaohai if she had made a mistake.

Xiaohai heard the result of "no such place name", his eyes were disappointed, and he silently took out an old piece of paper wrapped tightly in a plastic bag from the bag, and the size should be torn from the soft manuscript of the small work notes with the cover of the big kraft paper in the past, torn unevenly, and the edges were ugly, and the two addresses that Xiaohai had told me about were indeed written on it, one is Beipaigou in Qianzhou City, and the other is Chenjiawu in Jiangcheng City.

Chenjiawu, Jiangcheng City.

Chen Jiawu.

I feel that my hand holding the note is trembling, Chen Jiawu, it is actually Chen Jiawu. On the first day she came to Qianzhou, she first asked me about Beipaigou, and after I replied that I didn't know, she asked me about Jiangcheng again, saying that her father might have relatives over there. She only mentioned Jiangcheng, and did not specifically mention the three words Chen Jiawu. Seeing it now, my heart jumped suddenly, and Uncle Chen's face immediately appeared in my mind. I think this address is probably because Uncle Chen is there.

But Uncle Chen has passed away a long time ago, and Chenjiawu has become a deserted village four years ago.

I stabilized my mind and felt that before I figured out the general situation, I should not tell Xiaohai about Chenjiawu first, lest she want to run over and take a look immediately if she was in a hurry, not to mention that I really want to tell her now I can't tell her at all, I don't know what weird and bizarre things happened four years ago, which led to the death of the whole village and the escape of the whole village and the stationing of the armed police force.

Four years ago, when I went to Jiangcheng to find a professor surnamed Lin to ask questions, I heard someone say that Chenjiawu was haunted or something, first, because Uncle Chen had passed away, and Chenjiawu no longer had any meaning to me, and second, I felt that this kind of thing was pure nonsense, so I didn't pay attention until I overheard Liu Yimin mention it last year.

I know that the village of Chenjiawu really exists, although something big happened there, but the geographical coordinates have not disappeared.

But what is the situation with this north drain? How can you not even find a shadow?
