"It seems that this incident has just happened, are there any eyewitnesses?" I asked Xiao Wang.

"There are no eyewitnesses."

"What did the person who reported the crime say? Can you reach him?"

"The others reported the crime anonymously, made a public phone call, and did not disclose the real information." Xiao Wang said as he gave me the information from the public phone.

The public phone address is in the northern suburbs of the city, which means that the person is calling in the northern suburbs, which is very unreasonable, why something happened in the southern suburbs, but the report is in the northern suburbs, and the middle of the northern suburbs and the southern suburbs have to pass through the city center to arrive. Was this an accidental mistake made by the murderer, or was it deliberately done by the murderer? I don't dare to jump to conclusions for now.

"Forensic doctor, how did you get the results?" I asked the medical examiner who was examining the body.

"Team Zhou, I still can't judge the murderer's modus operandi, but it's a bit like the two female victims before, it's difficult to detect, and I need to go back to the police station to measure it with an instrument to determine."

"Good! Then cordon off the scene of the crime, bring the victim back to the police station for further examination, or send a few people to take turns on duty here. ”

"Okay, Team Zhou."

As soon as our group returned to the police station, another call came from the report.

"Hey, hello, police station."

"Hey, comrade policeman, I found the body of a man in the river in the northern suburbs of the city."

"Okay, please leave your contact information."

"If I do good deeds, I won't leave a name." With that, the man hung up.

"What's the matter?" I always had a bad feeling in my heart, so I went over and asked the little comrade.

"Team Zhou, someone reported that a male body was found in the northern suburbs of the city."

"Okay, I'll bring someone right now." I went to the morgue to find Lao Zhang and the forensic doctor, "Ready, let's go out and find a male body in the northern suburbs of the city." ”

"Oh, by the way, a few more people to take care of the police station, I always feel that this matter is not that simple." I reminded Lao Zhang, "Lao Zhang, you also stay at the police station, and you won't participate in this operation." ”

I took a small detachment and took a police car to the northern suburbs of the city.

This victim, and the victim just now, were obviously killed by the same person, but I don't know why the murderer put so much effort into putting one victim in the north of the city and the other in the south of the city.

And this victim was not hurt in the slightest, so it was two men who died this time, but why?

After seeing the victim's situation, he was brought back to the police station as before, cordoned off the crime scene, took pictures of the crime scene, and then conducted further investigation.

After returning to the police station, I first collected their DNA to determine their identities, and then checked their details, hoping to connect the two victims like the previous two women.

"Team Zhou, the results of the investigation are out." Xiao Wang handed me an information sheet, "Judging from the investigation information, the two people have no direct contact, and the places where they live are far apart, but the previous victim lived in the northern suburbs of the city, but he was killed in the southern suburbs of the city; The latter victim lived in the southern suburbs of the city, but was killed in the northern suburbs of the city. ”

"I don't know what this murderer means?" After Xiao Wang finished speaking, he interjected.

"The murderer is very cunning, maybe everything is a cover-up, you continue to see if you can find their relatives and friends."

"Okay, Team Zhou!"

I decided to look through the cases over the years to see if there were any similar situations, and to see the murderer's modus operandi, which was very old-fashioned.

I walked into the office, took out the case documents from the past years, and flipped through them one by one, trying to find a breakthrough.

"I said, why is the light in your office still on, so you are in it? Not going home yet? Lao Zhang opened the door and came in, and sat down across from my desk, "What are you looking at?" ”

"I'll see if there's anything similar to this case."

"Is there one?"

"I haven't found it yet."

"Give me a copy, and I'll watch it with you."

Lao Zhang and I looked at the handful of documents that were almost one meter high, and I don't know how long I looked at it, but I saw a similar case like this one.

"Lao Zhang, look here." I put the document on the table, pointed to a case, and briefly told Lao Zhang the main content of the case, "This case happened in 1910, the murderer put a white silk on the victim's face, and then kept pouring water on the silk, knowing that the victim could not breathe, and he could kill without leaving a trace." ”

"As far as I know, this kind of modus operandi has appeared in ancient times, but at that time, it was a kind of torture." After Lao Zhang finished saying this, he thought about it again, "But the forensic test results say that the victim was not drowned, if this method is really used, then the test result should be drowned, because the same is blocking the airway, which I didn't understand." ”

"That's where I wonder, but we should be sure that the killer was a literate person, or someone who knew the modus operandi very well."

"I agree with that," Lao Zhang agreed with me.

Lao Zhang raised his hand and looked at the time on his arm, "It's already 12 o'clock, let's get here today!" Only tomorrow wait for the results of the forensic examination to come out, and then continue to look for clues. ”

"Well, it's okay" I looked at the clock on the wall, it was indeed late, I don't know if Huang Na has rested, or is waiting for me at home.

"By the way, have you found the addresses of the two male victims? Shall we go tomorrow? Are those two people connected? ”

I shook my head helplessly, "I haven't found any connection between the two victims so far?" Tomorrow I want to continue to find the murderer's means of committing the crime, you and Xiao Wang go on a trip, the murderer has killed four people so far, I want to end this case as soon as possible, I am afraid that if it drags on too long, more people will be involved, and it will be more troublesome. ”

"Is the boss urging you?" Lao Zhang asked with concern.

I nodded, "This case has only been three days, and four people have already been involved, and the people who know about it are already panicking, and they ordered us to solve the case as soon as possible and give a satisfactory answer to the people of the city." ”

"What a nuisance!"

"Yes! It's becoming more and more difficult for you to figure out. ”

"That's it! Do not say! Lao Zhang patted me on the shoulder, "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”

This is Lao Zhang's motto, when we encounter something that cannot be solved, he comforts us like this every time, and I smiled at him.
