Chapter 338: Psychological Profile
I glanced at the photo on the dossier, and the next second, the picture that appeared in front of me made me break out in a cold sweat.
The first image is a blood-drenched human skin, draped entirely over a doll.
The elasticity of human skin is very large, and although the surface area of the doll is much larger than the surface of the human body, the human skin that the mountain eagle has peeled off can barely wrap the entire doll.
Through a later autopsy, the forensic doctor found that the body of Shanying was swollen with facial hairpins. There is punctate hemorrhage in the conjunctiva of the eye, obvious signs of atrophy and bruising in the neck muscles, and congestion in the right heart, liver, kidneys and other internal organs, signs of congestion and edema in the lungs, and most organs are accompanied by spotted hemorrhage.
Based on the above characteristics, the medical examiner concluded that the true cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation.
In other words, the murderer strangled him to death with a string, and then skinned the mountain eagle alive and draped it over the doll.
Not only that, but the murderer also put the skinned mountain eagle in the doll, pierced his leg bones with a long spike, and nailed the dead mountain eagle to the main gate of the playground.
The playground is located in the center of the town, and the murderer's purpose in doing so is nothing more than to use this corpse to cause great panic and social impact. Or rather, the murderer wanted to use this cruel method to attract the attention of the police, and tried to blame Lu Yuan for the whole case.
After all, Lu Yuan had just gone to find Shanying the night before, and there seemed to have been a dispute between the two, and as soon as Shanying died, Lu Yuan would inevitably be suspected by the police. It can be said that this murderer ostensibly killed the mountain eagle, but his actual purpose was to go away from the road.
I don't understand who Lu Yuan offended in Z Province, so that the other party did not hesitate to use this cruel way of killing people to put him to death.
Calm down, take a deep breath, and repeat the details of the case that I had seen before in my mind.
With the photos of the scene taken by the police, all of a sudden, the scene slowly emerged from my eyes, as if I was at the scene of the crime and was a witness to the whole case.
Among them, what I am most concerned about is that after the murderer draped the human skin on the puppet, in order to prevent the human skin from falling off, he actually used a needle and thread to re-sew the cracked gap on the back of the skin.
Through the photos taken by the police, it is obvious that the stitches and threads are extremely neat and the gap is even. It was as if the murderer had sewn it up not a human skin at all, but just a torn garment.
"He's a psychopathic killer!" I couldn't help but mutter.
Whether Lu Yuan killed the mountain eagle or not, I don't know. Based on this detail alone, I can almost conclude that Lu Yuan must have nothing to do with peeling. The guy who peeled off the eagle's skin had no empathy at all, and that bastard had already lost the most basic humanity.
As for the second case, in my opinion, there is not much difference from the first case. In the same way, he strangled himself with a thin rope, then used a sharp blade to cut through the skin near his neck, and then ripped off the skin from both ends like a butterfly spreading its wings.
In addition, the murderer also cut off Team Leader Wu's tongue, and together with the peeled skin, folded it neatly, and put it on the newspaper that reported the peeling case in the media.
Although the murderer did not choose to throw the body in the downtown area, he could kill the head of the investigation team sent by the provincial department in such a cruel way, and the social impact caused by this alone is no less than openly throwing the body in the downtown area.
As for the second case, the murderer chose to attack Team Leader Wu, and the intention was obviously to provoke the authority of the public security system.
What's worse is that in these two homicides, Lu Yuan has appeared at the scene of the crime. And according to the detailed records in the file, the police even extracted Lu Yuan's DNA information from Shanying's fingernails and Team Leader Wu's home.
In this way, it is no wonder that the police listed Lu Yuan as the number one suspect, and even did not hesitate to arrest him across provinces.
Now that Lu Yuan has admitted that he has something to do with Shanying's death, all his efforts can only be in vain before he comes up with substantial evidence. For now, I still hope to rush to Province Z to see the road away.
Only the guy himself told me what had happened during that time. Lao Yan and I may be able to help him. If Lu Yuan is as self-defeating as before and has no desire to survive, then even if Lao Yan and I really find out something, the people in the provincial department of Z Province will probably not let him go easily because of our one-sided words.
This time, not only did he have to face the skinning murderer who had annihilated his humanity, but he also had to face pressure from the police in Province Z. Compared to the previous cases, the difficulty is immeasurable.
At this moment, even I can't help but get a little nervous.
After all, I've been in contact with similar criminal cases for a long time since the murder case was closed. This time, can I really peel back the cocoon and find the murderer smoothly as usual? Maybe it's because I've experienced so much that for the first time in my life, I've questioned my own abilities.
At this moment, a voice broadcast announcement suddenly rang in my ears. It turned out that there was only an hour's drive left from the destination of Province Z.
I took a deep breath, recalling all the details of the dossier in my mind, then closed my eyes and rubbed the part of my brow to relieve the pressure.
After recovering from a serious illness, I really couldn't work too hard, and after reading the file for a while, my body was already a little unbearable.
"Old man, I'm done, give you back your treasure!"
At this moment, Xiaoxue also stretched her waist and woke up, compared to last night, on the high-speed train, she had a good rest.
Glancing at the file in my hand, Xiaoxue probably understood what Lao Yan and I were doing before.
This girl didn't interject, just stared at me and listened silently to the conversation between me and Lao Yan, with that innocent smirk on the corner of her mouth as always.
After a while, Lao Yan took the file in my hand, put it in his bag, and glanced at me slowly: "How is it, stinky boy, have you found anything special?" ”
"yes, Goofy, tell me about it, what did you find?"
Looking at Xiaoxue's expectant eyes, this time, I may be going to disappoint her.
Judging from the documents documenting the case, this time, I can say that I have no clue.
From the aspect of psychological profiling, I can only barely analyze some simple characteristics of the murderer, such as: the real murderer should be an adult male, over 30 years old, and have good psychological quality.
And the real murderer's usual life and rest should be very regular, and his hands-on ability is strong, and it is estimated that he had training in labor skills when he was a child. From the way he stitched the mountain eagle's human skin and the details of folding the human skin of Team Leader Wu later, it can be seen that the guy may have a slight cleanliness habit. ”
After listening to this, Lao Yan frowned slightly, and said with some disdain: "Is that all?" ”
"Unfortunately, that's all I can think about at the moment."
"Forget it, you've done a great job in terms of the time you've been on the train!"
Oops! Listening to the meaning of these words, did Lao Yan find a more critical clue?
After all, this old guy stayed up for two days and two nights when I was unconscious, and remembering the arrogant look before he handed me the file, this old guy probably wanted to take the opportunity to reprimand me.
It is said that older people have to be coaxed, not choked.
In order to obtain more favorable information, I simply pretended to be my grandson: "I don't know, Mr. Yan has any unique opinions, the students are ashamed of themselves and are willing to accept the teaching!" ”
Seeing my low-spirited appearance, Lao Yan suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, pulled out the file on the details of the two harmful people, and silently placed it in front of me.
"If the motive for the crime is excluded, as well as all other external connections, even the relationship between Lu Yuan and the distance is ignored. Judging from the modus operandi of these two skinning cases alone, can you find anything different? ”
Removing external relationships, do you just start with the case itself?
I seemed to understand the meaning of Lao Yan's words, took a deep breath, and compared the two skinning cases again.
Suddenly, I seemed to understand what Lao Yan was metaphorizing.
If you ignore the respective identities of Shanying and Team Leader Wu, and the fact that the case happened in Province Z.
These two cases are almost like two different people!
