Chapter 2 The Fourth Victim
Since he dares to leave this string of numbers, he will definitely carry out the murder, that is, the murderer will continue to commit crimes, and there are five innocent women who may become the target of that guy's hunting!
It's just that what makes me wonder is, why didn't the first victim show up? Moreover, why did the murderer only pick a woman dressed in red? Could it be that the red dress has a special meaning for him?
In my opinion, the murderer should be a very organized guy, he is enjoying the process of committing the crime, and if this set of scores is to be theoretically true, then there is no reason why 1/9 should not exist.
After listening to my speculation, Lao Yan suddenly stood up and patted me on the shoulder: "This problem will be solved by you." To tell the truth, the black gold case was originally entrusted to me to be in charge, but unfortunately, a strange case suddenly appeared in H City, urging me to go over to investigate. I couldn't get out, so I had to find someone to take over the black gold case.
Among my previous students, you are the only one who has the strength to solve the case, and the teacher entrusted you with this case. ”
"My fiancée?"
"Don't worry!" Lao Yan interrupted me, patted his chest and promised: "The clues are already there, as long as you solve the black gold case, I will use the connections of the whole country, and I have to find her!" ”
I have always been trustworthy of Lao Yan's character, and since he has said so, I have to try this black gold case.
That night, I got my things ready, and Lao Yan watched me get on the train and go to the Black Gold City.
Along the way, I read the document dozens of times, trying to find as many doubts as I could. Of course, to get more clues, you have to look at the scene of the crime to know.
Heijin City is located in the central part of Province G, and I also came here to participate in the investigation of cases when I was in school.
Although it is bordered by many places in the surrounding area, the overall economy is not developed, and there is a large number of migrant populations, which also brings great difficulties to the local police to find out the personnel. After five hours on the train, I finally got here!
After I found the police station, I found that there were few people inside, and most of the people had a gloomy atmosphere on their faces, and they ignored my inquiries.
At this moment, I happened to meet an old policeman who was about to go out.
The old policeman estimated that my identity was not ordinary, so he took the initiative to lean over and talk, and after chatting a few words, I learned that his name was Fang Qiang, because he had cracked several major criminal cases when he was young, so he had a high reputation in the bureau, and everyone called him Uncle Fang.
Lao Yan had already explained the situation to Uncle Fang, and the police station was originally going to open a welcome party for me.
Unfortunately, earlier, another rape and murder case occurred, and the body of the fourth murdered woman was found.
What the! I could barely believe my ears that in such a short period of time, that murderous demon had committed another crime!
The previous three rape and murder cases have already caused an uproar, and I believe that the police must have deployed heavy troops in the black gold market, and at this time, the murderer dared to commit the crime again, and the horror of his heart greatly exceeded my expectations.
Uncle Fang told me that because of the suddenness of the incident, most of the people in the bureau are now busy at the scene of the crime, but unfortunately he was about to rush there to help, and asked me if I was interested in joining us.
I didn't refuse, I was able to witness the scene of the crime in the first place, and I believe that what I gained would be much more than just looking at the transcript.
Because when I was studying in Province G before, I had come to Heijin City a few times and had a relationship with the person in charge of their police force, so along the way, I chatted with Uncle Fang.
I never thought that whenever I talked about something related to the black gold case, Uncle Fang's face would always flash a look of displeasure, and then he changed the topic intentionally or unintentionally.
This somewhat surprised me, Uncle Fang was obviously involved in the case, why was he subconsciously so resistant to this case? This is not the posture of an old police officer.
Soon after, we arrived at our destination, and before getting out of the car, Uncle Fang suddenly pulled me and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a few small policemen who rushed over.
Everywhere I went, it was a mixed urban and rural department, with a clear cordon in front of it, and many people eating melons around the side.
Uncle Fang said a few words to the little policeman, then beckoned me and motioned for me to follow. Crossing the cordon, going around a corner, you came to a low bungalow, many policemen were busy around, and it should be the scene of the crime!
The strange thing is that although the number of police officers present at the scene is large, most of them are only responsible for maintaining order at the scene, and less than ten people are actually involved in the investigation at the scene.
Two of them, at first glance, were novices who pulled up to make up the numbers, and at this time they were leaning on the corner and vomiting wildly. There is also a forensic girl, who is even more different.
Although he was outstanding, when he came to the scene of the crime, he was wearing a miniskirt and two long white legs, dangling in front of me.
Such a major case, whether in the police circles or the people, has caused an uproar, I didn't expect the local police station to have such a perfunctory attitude towards it! Coupled with Uncle Fang's strange performance earlier, this case became more suspicious in my heart.
There is not much space in the bungalow, and the infrastructure is extremely simple, although I have been mentally prepared before, I almost can't hold back the churning in my stomach when I see the corpse.
The room was filled with blood splatters, and it was already dark red, and on the wooden table in the middle, there was a headless female corpse dressed in red!
The woman was dressed in red pajamas, half-lying on the wooden table in an extremely ambiguous position, her clothes were lifted above her chest, her pants had been faded below the knees, and her body was full of bruises from abuse, and her body was already stiff, showing obvious corpse spots.
The white back, with a striking bite mark, is about five centimeters long, and the dermis and even the shoulder blades are faintly exposed, even if it looks now, it is shocking.
A large amount of skin tissue was found on the wooden table, and combined with the situation at the scene, it can be inferred that the murderer violated the victim from behind, and then brutally killed him.
In most rape and murder cases, the perpetrator chooses to assault from behind. On the one hand, it can reduce the resistance of the victim, and on the other hand, this obscure way behind the scenes can stimulate the primitive impulses in the human body.
What makes me concerned is that in front of the woman's disappeared head, she still left a string of messages in blood: 519.
From the scene, the vertical between 5 and 9 is more like a slash representing the score, which made me firm up my conjecture at that time: this string of numbers, representing the woman in front of me, was the fifth person killed by the murderer!
Another person has been killed, and there are only four people left from the murderer's target!
Uncle Fang just glanced at the corpse, then turned his head away, unwilling to look at it again. Then, at the female forensic doctor who was showing her thighs, she said, "Xiaoxue, what is the conclusion?" ”
"After information confirmation, the deceased Wang Li, female, 30 years old, lived alone. As in the previous three cases, the murderer first controlled the victim, forcibly violated him, and then brutally killed him. This time, the killer cut off her head! The notch in the broken neck is flat and smooth, and it is difficult for even experienced surgeons to achieve this. This kind of beheading technique reminds me of the executioners in the old society. In just one moment, everyone present shuddered.
"What was the time of death and the specific cause of death?" I subconsciously asked such a question, but it attracted the angry eyes of some police officers, and a few people even rushed over directly, but were stopped by Uncle Fang.
"Why don't you see her in red! Haven't you heard of the Lady in Red? Also ask about the cause of death! ”
Uncle Fang insisted on pulling them, saying that I was invited by Lao Yan to come over to solve the case, and the police officers turned around and went back angrily, and vaguely heard one of them muttering: Damn, if you really want to solve the case, do some serious things, don't send some waste detectives over, this is a fucking life!
I originally thought that it was just another case and everyone was in a bad mood that they would target me like this, but when I heard the little policeman say this, the whole person was about to explode.
Damn, I'm kind enough to come over to help, who the hell are you talking about!
I just wanted to have a seizure, but when I thought about it, I still held back. I'm here to investigate the case, and I can't deal with them.
I noticed that the beautiful forensic doctor next to me had written a thick stack of records. The girl is always more eye-catching, so she simply leaned over and asked her about the specific cause of death.
The female forensic doctor glanced at me and said coldly: "The preliminary estimate of the cause of death was excessive blood loss, as in the previous rape and murder cases, after the murderer controlled the victim, he cut his throat with a knife, and at the same time, he violated it. The time of death should be 10 to 12 hours ago, and the specific conclusion will have to wait for the autopsy report. However, the situation on the scene is so weird, even if it is reported, I guess..."
Oh? Weird, where to start.
She sighed and opened her mouth to tell me that the body had been found earlier, by the deceased's neighbors.
Around eleven o'clock last night, the surrounding neighbors heard a woman's voice coming from this bungalow all the time, mixed with a few sobs from time to time.
At that time, they didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the deceased was just experiencing something unhappy and hiding in the house to vent, during which some people even saw the deceased, who used to wear red clothes, and threw garbage near the door.
However, the noise continued until one or two o'clock in the evening, and there was no interruption in between, and some of the neighbors were annoyed by the noise and wanted to go over to see what was going on. When they approached the bungalow, through the half-hidden window, they saw the scene in front of them, and they were so frightened that they immediately called the police.
Strangely, from the time of death, it is speculated that the woman should have been killed by the murderer by the time the neighbor heard the movement. At that time, who made the sound?
What's even more bizarre is that the door of the bungalow was locked from the inside, and it took a lot of effort for the police to break in. The only remaining window in the house had long since been inlaid with steel bars.
That is to say, before that, the entire bungalow was completely a closed secret room, and there was only one deceased in the house, so the question is, what means did the murderer use to escape after killing someone?
