Under the warm orange light.

A pink room, imprinted into the eye.

The little girl's room was very warmly furnished.

The deceased couple must have loved their daughter very much.

It's a pity that the messy bloody footprints on the floor make this warmth a little more ominous.

Covered in doll-pile sheets, bloodstained.

A sweet-looking little blonde girl, wearing clean clothes, with a sound expression and a slightly upturned mouth, seems to be in a sweet dream, and the years are quiet.

Pity.

This little girl, who was only six or seven years old at most, also died.

A bullet pierced her forehead.

Splattering brain pulp and blood, in the shape of a fan, covering one side of the bedside table, like a small dot of plum blossoms in full bloom, conveyed to Dean what had happened here a few hours ago:

】

The killer grabbed the little girl at the head of the bed and aimed the gun at her forehead.

Bang~

Holz saw the sweet little girl in the 'sleeping position' again, and still couldn't help but sigh:

"The clothes and blood stains on her body have been cleaned up.

The killer brutally killed her parents and grandmother using several different murder weapons, but after killing the little girl, he helped her change into clean clothes and tidy up her potentially unsightly remains.

It's like... Treat your beloved Barbie doll the same.

The murderer hated the little girl's family extremely much, but showed special tenderness to her.

The only thing I can think of.

It's the murderer, an extreme pedophile. ”

Dean didn't speak.

He walked over to the bedside table, crouched down, and looked under the bed.

A drag mark is visible.

Combined with the scene he had briefly seen before, a picture immediately appeared in his mind:

The murderer suddenly broke into the door and killed the old lady first, and then the male owner.

The hostess hurriedly asked her daughter to flee upstairs, and she stayed to fight the murderer, but was brutally killed by the murderer in the bathroom.

And the helpless little girl, trembling, hid under the bed.

It was probably the safest place she could think of.

But this is a massacre, not a playhouse.

The poor little girl, who was dragged out by the murderer in the end, shot her head...

Holz is still on the sidelines, expressing his opinion:

"Similar incidents have happened before.

A pedophile who has a crush on the son of a neighbor who has just moved in.

He just approached at first, secretly filmed, then evolved into voyeurism, and finally was discovered by the male owner, arrested and expelled from the community.

After the pedophile was released on bail, he thought it was the boy's family and snatched his beloved, so he directly and brutally killed the boy's entire family, and finally held the boy, surrounded by the police, and set fire to the house.

This eucalyptus is very similar to that eucalyptus! ”

"But pedophiles don't treat their targets so roughly!"

Dean picked up the little girl, with dusty nails and bruised fingernails, and pointed to the bottom of the bed: "The murderer dragged her out from under the bed very forcefully and shot her directly, this is not the way to treat beloved things." ”

"Then what do you think of this eucalyptus, what are the characteristics of the murderer?"

Although Holtz felt that what Dean said made sense, he hadn't been slapped in the face by Dean for a while, so he couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Multiplayer!"

"There is a detailed and thorough criminal premeditation, and even a way to get away with it!"

Dean snapped his fingers, "Holtz, you're overlooking something very important!" ”

"What?"

"The reaction time of the deceased!"

Dean took off his gloves, patted Holtz on the shoulder, and said in a feminate tone:

"The murder weapons found so far include knives, guns, and broken iron shelves, and except for the hostess, there is no trace of resistance from anyone else, and except for the little girl, the rest of the people are tortured and killed!

Have you considered that when a murderer kills one person, the rest of the people don't have time to react? ”

Holz was stunned.

That's right!

This is a very important detail, but he subconsciously ignored it because he had no experience of killing.

The old lady was stabbed four or five times.

No matter how sharp the dagger is.

Open the door, pounce, poke, pull...

This process takes at least about 10 seconds.

Ordinary people are in the face of emergencies, unless they have never seen any scene, otherwise this time is enough for them to react.

The same goes for the host.

He was shot at least seventeen times.

There are no traces of empty guns around.

Even if the shooter was a seasoned gunman with a slight recoil of the pistol, it would be difficult to shoot all the bullets in a short period of time before chasing the mistress and the little girl.

So it must have been when the old lady was stabbed, there was another murderer who shot at the male host, and when the hostess wanted to run away with her daughter, the murderer who stabbed the old lady to death before took the opportunity to chase after him.

In desperation.

The hostess stopped the murderer and let her daughter escape, but she died in the bathroom.

Sort these out.

Holtz exclaimed, "I see, Dean, the murderer, at least two people!" ”

Dean shook his finger: "Wrong, it's three!" ”

Observing the bloody footprints on the ground, he explained:

"Actually, the pedophilia you inferred earlier should be correct.

But only one of the three is a pedophile!

The other two, one is hostile to the old lady and the hostess of the family, and the last one is hateful to the male host, so that the current scene can be reasonably explained! ”

Dean paused, walked outside into the hallway, and pulled out a cigarette.

Holtz, who was full of curiosity, took off his gloves with great eyesight, took out a lighter from his pocket, and diligently lit it for Dean: "Dean, go on!" ”

Call~

Dean took a deep puff of his cigarette and squinted his eyes in the smoke, as if his soul had traveled back to the time of eucalyptus, witnessing the tragedy with his own eyes:

"Among the three people, the person who stabbed the old lady to death must be the leader.

He killed the old lady first and cut off the back path of the collaborators.

The accomplices after that, whether they want to or not, can only attack towards their own goals.

I said it.

They have different objects of hatred.

This also led to the death of three adults, all of whom were brutal.

As for the little girl..."

Dean sighed: "Her age, a little embarrassing, has been remembered, but she is not mature enough to have a mature mind, resulting in wasting the time that her mother procrastinated with her life in exchange for escaping.

For confidentiality.

The other two murderers, ignoring the pedophilia in it, shot the little girl.

Among the three pedophiles, they should have the lowest strength, and they didn't even have the courage to do it the whole time, so in the face of the threat of their accomplices, they could only watch the little girl being killed, and finally heartache helped her change her clothes and clean up her death! ”

Hear Dean's narration.

Holtz was still puzzled: "In that case, why should the other two murderers be called pedophiles?" ”

Wouldn't bringing such a waste increase the probability of your own exposure?

"Have you forgotten the characteristics of pedophilia?"

Dean knocked on the little girl's door: "When I entered the door, I didn't find any traces of external damage to the door, so it should be the old lady who took the initiative to open the door!" ”

Bang~

After listening to this, Holtz lit a cigarette for himself with some melancholy.

This practice is actually against the law.

But he now needs nicotine to ease the loss in his heart.

Damn it.

I forgot about that!

One of the characteristics of pedophilia is that it is most likely an acquaintance, a neighbor or something like that!

Even if it's not an acquaintance.

After the pedophile targets the target, he will also find a way to make himself an acquaintance of the target's family, so as to satisfy his desires!

And because of voyeurism.

Therefore, this kind of perversion often knows the target's home situation well, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of being exposed!

This should be the reason why the other two murderers have co-opted the pedophiles that Dean inferred to join!

...

This also allowed Holz, again, again, again, to see Dean's logical rigor and mastery of details!

When being hit more.

And get used to it.

Therefore, Holtz's melancholy and loss came and went quickly.

He looked at Dean, who was quietly puffing out smoke rings: "In that case, wouldn't it be easy for us to investigate the neighbors around the deceased's family?" ”

Dean nodded, then shook his head again: "There will definitely be a harvest, but the result may disappoint you." ”

Holtz: "??? ”

fk！

He understands every word Dean says!

But when combined, it made him feel that he had a fairly good IQ, and in front of Dean, it was a little insufficient.

Holtz, who had just adjusted his mood, was in a lost mood again.

Because he left Dean for a while, the self-confidence he re-cultivated was almost gone after staying with Dean for a while.

He stammered, "I don't understand. ”

Dean carefully packed his cigarette ash and cigarette butts, put them in his pocket, and explained with some disappointment: "I said before that this group of criminals has two characteristics! ”

After having more contact with high-IQ people like Corolla and Mike, it is not pleasant to crush a little smart guy like Holtz in turn.

"Two characteristics..."

Holz lowered his head and muttered, remembering what Dean had said earlier.

Two characteristics.

One is 'multiplayer'!

One is that 'there was a detailed and thorough criminal plan, and even a way to get rid of it'!

'Multiplayer', Dean has analyzed.

The second...

Thinking of the three criminals and different 'targets' that Dean said before, Holtz took a breath of cool air and suddenly woke up: "Dean, you mean that the reason why the three criminals did not clean up the scene is because they were ready to count all the crimes on themselves after the police found them?" ”

Dean nodded in satisfaction.

Holtz wasn't very stupid, a bit of a huigen.

"There is no such thing as perfect crime in the world.

Because no matter what the criminal does with the traces, there will be clues.

The difference is whether the police can find these traces or not!

But when the trial has mechanical rules and processes.

Then there is a perfect crime in the world! ”

Said before.

On the American side, in order to ensure the 'fairness' of the trial, on the surface, there are strict requirements for the processing process and evidence chain of the eucalyptus.

Normally.

This can indeed reduce the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongful mistakes and safeguard the basic 'rights and interests' of citizens.

But what if several people plead guilty to a eucalyptus at the same time?

To know.

The criminal's admission of guilt does not mean that he is over.

Because in the course of the trial, if there are a lot of doubts, then even if it is clear that the person being tried has a problem, in order to maintain the 'fairness' of the judiciary, then the final result will become innocent.

That's the.

This is also why there are often lawyers here who focus on crime, knowing that their defender's criminal evidence is conclusive, but still have the confidence to win the defense!

Because they all know one thing: there is no perfect crime in the world, but if they can find loopholes in the legal process, points of questioning, then it is possible to have a perfect defense!

Thinking of that result, Holz couldn't help but look at the sweet little girl who was 'sleeping' on the bed, and his eyes flashed with unbearability: "Dean, could it be that you think too much, if this is really the case, it will be too unfair to this family!" ”

"Don't worry, these tricks won't work for me!"

Dean smiled softly and headed downstairs.

..

Leave Holz and others to collect the body.

After Dean went out, he wandered around the victim's house.

In this community, the distance between the houses is not close, the public facilities are dilapidated, the street lamps that have fallen into disrepair are everywhere, and the occupancy rate is not high.

This is also the reason why after the gunshots, there are no neighbors around who call the police immediately.

Because there are probably not a few households living around.

And this kind of place, often mixed, public security will not be very good, people who live, when they hear the gunshots, the first reaction is to pretend to shrink the head of the turtle, turn off the lights to avoid attracting attention, so as not to bring safety hazards to themselves and their families.

So... The range of suspected candidates for pedophilia is not difficult to find!

Take a walk down.

Dean stopped downstairs in the little girl's room, looked at the attic window of a two-story cottage opposite, and shifted his gaze to the courtyard of the room, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Got it!
