As soon as Dean arrived, he helped Louise find the direction of the broken eucalyptus.

This made Louise, who was still a little unconvinced in her heart, look at Dean's eyes with a little more sincere respect.

The forensic doctor Walter on the side also became a little more enthusiastic from his previous routine.

After viewing the corpse.

Walter forensic took Dean to a pile of 'specimens'.

These specimens are the 'flowers of internal organs' mentioned earlier.

As part of the evidence.

They were forensically examined by Walt, using potions, to make specimens to prevent them from decomposing.

Walter Forensic Doctor, habitually introduced: "In fact, there are clear photos at the scene, but the thing is not three-dimensional enough, so I did some processing of them according to the original appearance, which can ensure that they are exactly the same as when they were found at the scene." ”

These visceral flowers, which look really weird, are more suitable for appearing on the shooting set of some horror movies, rather than being placed on a tray and put in front of everyone.

Cheston was disgusted by this young man, and just by looking at it, he had a physical reaction to vomiting, and quickly shifted his gaze, for fear that if he looked at it twice, he would have nightmares tonight.

Dean was drawn to the flowers.

Most people will only think that the shape of these internal organs is a flower.

But Dean has a strong ability to process stereoscopic images, and his brain subconsciously magnifies the flower of internal organs in his mind, and finally transforms it into a realistic image, and finally forms a very strange rose.

To be exact, five roses of different colors.

With the improvement of his mental attributes to fifteen points, Dean's memory is very strong, and many memories in the past, whether pleasant or unpleasant, will have a clear sense of familiarity once the same scene is triggered.

He was sure he had seen similar scenes.

This is similar, not that he has seen the same visceral roses, but that he has seen roses of similar shapes.

But where?

This familiarity is too abstract because the rose composed of internal organs.

For a moment, Dean didn't really remember.

..

On the side, Inspector Louise saw Dean lost his thoughts again, and his face was happy.

Because when we meet, an unpleasant beginning.

Louise doesn't really like Dean, an FBI agent who sees through her character.

But Dean's observation, grasp of details, and logical analysis in a short period of time convinced her.

In order to break the eucalyptus as soon as possible and avoid the continued appearance of victims later.

Louise had to let go of the reserve in her heart and said in a soft tone: "Agent Dean, do you have a new discovery?" ”

Dean was interrupted from his train of thought.

He paused to reminisce and nodded, "There are indeed some discoveries, but... How can you give me a pen and paper? ”

"I'll get it!"

Walter Forensic Doctor, hearing this, immediately turned around and left.

As an old forensic doctor who has been in contact with eucalyptus for many years.

He also has a strong curiosity about the detection of eucalyptus.

Not much.

Walter Forensic Doctor, so he brought paper and pen.

Dean took it and drew the shape of the rose he had formed in his mind on the paper.

"This is a rose?"

The abstract internal organs, when they are turned into sketches, have many images, and everyone can see the varieties of flowers at a glance.

The five roses are of different shapes.

It's just that on the side of each rose, there are some more lines extended, which is slightly weird.

These lines, expressed in the flower of the internal organs, are the placement of a section of the excess large intestine.

This is also the reason why everyone couldn't tell what kind of visceral flower it was before.

It's too abstract.

But when these visceral flowers are vividly transformed into paper by Dean, it is completely different.

Walter Forensic Medicine, looking at the flowers and lines on the paper, showed a strange expression: "How do I feel these roses, they are very familiar!" ”

When Dean heard this, his eyes were happy: "You also feel familiar?" ”

"Yes!" , Forensic Doctor Walter nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Can you combine these roses and lines, I seem to know what this is!" ”

When Dean heard this, he immediately complied.

He also made several combinations for convenience.

This combination immediately let everyone know what it is!

Ikebana!

Dean suddenly realized!

These roses are actually flower arrangements!

No wonder it sounded familiar.

Many American families like to put a pot of decorated flower arrangements on the dining table.

This not only makes the restaurant look a little more warm, the price is not expensive, the key is to kill time, which is a basic skill that many older generations of housewives in the United States have mastered.

Dean's mother, Sheila, will.

As for those superfluous lines, they should be mixed into the flowers for the sake of beauty and line decoration in the flower arrangement, similar to the decoration of gladiolus.

This red and green color is very beautiful.

Of course, if you show these in the form of viscera... Then there are only abstractions and distortions.

But...

What is the point of identifying these visceral flowers, which the murderer wants to make flower arrangements?

This kind of discovery, on the surface, seems meaningless!

Even Dean thinks so.

This maybe, probably only to give the murderer's image puzzle, and to be a real guy, who has received some aspects of etiquette education, will do this kind of thing.

But Walt, the oldest forensic doctor here, surprised a few people.

He took Dean's sketch and said uncertainly:

"It's a very typical American flower arrangement, my wife, that's what it is.

If you have watched old movies before, you will find that the style and technique of this flower arrangement are very different from modern flower arrangement.

To be precise, this kind of flower arrangement technique is a very old method. ”

Dean hurriedly asked, "How old?" ”

"As old as those chloroforms.

This style of flower arrangement, popular in the fifties and sixties, was later replaced by newer styles and aesthetic styles.

Maybe the murderer is a retro woman, after all, if she is really born in the forties and fifties, she may not have enough physical strength to handle the victim's body. ”

...

Women?

Dean didn't say anything more and nodded.

Walter's speculation is indeed possible.

This depends on the fact that the killer killed the five victims in a relatively cruel way before committing the desecration of the bodies.

At least let the deceased choose for themselves.

It is estimated that they would rather be anesthetized to death first, and then be electrocuted to their private places and have their internal organs removed.

As for why the murderer electrocuted the deceased's privacy?

This may be to prevent the follow-up treatment of internal organs, so that there is blood everywhere, or it is possible that the murderer is actually jealous of these beautiful women, so vent, it is more likely that the other party is simply perverted.

This kind of detail, in the absence of more information about the murderer, is actually of little reference significance.

But whether the murderer is a man or a woman.

Dean isn't sure yet.

He needs more information!

...

Next.

Under the leadership of Walter Forensics.

Dean and Chesston looked at the scene of five eucalyptus scenes, taking photos and videos.

Afterwards.

Louise, the female detective, also added a very important piece of information.

"Agent Dean, these five victims, in addition to their blonde appearances, have one more important thing in common!"

"What do you have in common?"

"From the time they disappeared to the time their bodies were found, it took three days!"

Dean was stunned: "You mean, after taking the victims, the murderer let them all survive for three days before killing them?" ”

Interesting!

If so.

So the murderer chose to take great pains to remove the internal organs of the deceased from the deceased's lower body, and before taking it out, he still used a high-voltage electric baton to desecrate, could it be to destroy the traces and clues left by his own invasion?

After all, science and technology are now very developed.

In case the murderer did not wear a small umbrella when the worst happened, leaving genetic material in the body of the deceased, it is really not necessarily cleaned up.

Walter Forensics, looks very professional.

So Dean told his guess.

How do you know.

Doctor Walt, after hearing this, shook his head: "Agent Dean, I actually had similar thoughts before you drew those rose flower arrangements, but now it's different. ”

said.

He put the photos of the deceased out before in front of everyone, pointed to the five deceased, and said with delicate and miserable faces:

"You are all very young, and you may not know what is special about the dress of the five deceased, but when you think of those old-fashioned flower arrangements, I may know why the murderer chose blonde beauties to do it."

The three of Dean, hearing this, cast an inquiring glance at the old man Walt.

The last appearance of the five deceased before their deaths was indeed somewhat similar: long, thick blonde hair, the same pale but delicate face, pearlescent contouring powder, rosy blush, and even the same black eyeliner.

But everyone just thinks that these are some kind of fun of the murderer, just like those visceral rose flower arrangements.

There are some things that have not been experienced, and no matter how high the IQ is, it is impossible to get more information.

Walter Forensic Medicine is the one who lived through that era.

His eyes flashed nostalgia:

"Marilyn Monroe!

It was a stunner that made countless men in the United States obsessed back then.

The murderer's dress for the female deceased is a reference to Marilyn Monroe, a movie shot in the fifties!

It was a good movie.

The style of those flower arrangements and the dress of the female deceased awakened my memory.

These can all be found in that movie!

The murderer must have been a fanatic of that movie!

He regarded those five victims as Marilyn Monroe! ”

Marilyn Monroe, a Hollywood star, is also one of the most popular sexy symbols in the fifties, I don't know how many ignorant teenagers, in that era, took Marilyn Monroe's poster to practice wrist strength.

But obviously.

Among these people, Dean and Chesston are not included.

They are all post-80s, and their impression of Marilyn Monroe is only in some old movies and nostalgic reports, which belong to the kind that they have heard but don't understand.

Louise, as a woman with a strong personality, has little interest in Marilyn Monroe, who is also a woman.

She was interested in the clues provided by the old forensic doctor Walt.

It's the fifties again!

All the clues and features found so far point to this era that has become a memory!

What kind of person is the murderer?

Is he male or female?

Why did the deceased dress up as the character played by Marilyn Monroe in the movie?

What happened in the three days that the five women were missing?

All this is waiting for her to solve the mystery!

...

The movie in Walt's forensic mouth, because it has been too long, he has forgotten the name, but with the name of Marilyn Monroe, a female star, it is not difficult to find that movie afterwards.

The movie might be able to provide some clues.

And large vehicles in and out of the road...

Just when Louise was thinking about how to track down the murderer based on these clues.

Dean shattered her illusions.

"Alright, now that the corpse is finished, let's talk about the eucalyptus itself."

Dean slapped his face, drawing everyone's attention.

He looked at Louise first: "Inspector Louise, how long is the interval between the disappearances of each victim?" ”

When a murderer disposes of one victim, he will definitely spend time searching for the next prey, and in a short period of time, he can throw out the bodies of five victims.

Louise then remembered that the eucalyptus had been handed over to the FBI.

Fortunately, Dean looks reliable.

So she was a little unaccustomed to saying:

"In the wake of the streak of incidents, we are particularly concerned about the disappearances of women in Las Vegas.

The good news is that every time a female victim is found, it takes two or three days for a new female victim to go missing.

The bad news is.

The occupations and whereabouts of the five female victims are different, all over Las Vegas, and there are no surveillance facilities before and after the disappearance.

In addition, two days have passed since the nearest case.

The cycle in which we found the body was about seven days.

Other words.

It's likely that the killer has already chosen a new target, but he hasn't done it yet, or we haven't heard of the new victim's disappearance yet. ”

This cannot be said of police inaction.

Rather, it is the disappearance of people, as long as they are not witnessed, and when the police know about it, there must be a lag.

And the pretty blonde beauty..

In Las Vegas, there are too many in this tourist casino.

Because in addition to the development of tourism and gambling business, there is also a certain aspect of business is also very prosperous.

Just ask you, as a foreigner, if you want to have a pleasant memory with a standard American blonde girl.

So the police are also very difficult, and fishing is not good.

...

"So, Chestonn, you go and check the vehicles that match our inferences on the highway surveillance before and after the discovery of the body, Louise, you take me to those eucalyptus sites and re-investigate!

As for Walt Forensics, please look for the movie resource I mentioned earlier. ”

Dean listened to Louise's words, thought about it, and made arrangements.

Louise was reluctant.

She tried to investigate the surveillance herself, giving her reasons:

"Agent Dean, I can arrange for someone below to take you to the scene.

As for the surveillance, it would be more appropriate for me to look at it, because before that, I had already seen those, but I didn't think about the body that the murderer might have disposed of in the car, so I did useless work. ”

"Actually, dismembering a body in a car is not a difficult thing to guess, do you know why you and your colleagues didn't think of this when we surveyed the scene of the eucalyptus?"

Dean asked rhetorically.

Louise didn't understand what Dean was trying to say, so she could only shake her head.

"Because it's a cognitive bias!"

Dean pointed to the glass window outside the morgue:

"The angle from which you look outside the morgue is different than it is now, and the information you get from it is different.

As before that.

You only thought that the murderer might have traveled back and forth between the scene of the murder and the place of residence by car, but you didn't think that the other party might dispose of the body in the car, and then found a random place to create a fake first eucalyptus scene.

So find the car and let Chestonn do it.

As for you, follow me.

On the way, I want to know some details about Las Vegas, and I'm going to take a stroll around the place where the female victim disappeared, you are the detective here, and you can talk better than my detective card! ”

A lot of local police officers, not necessarily FBI agents.

So Dean really needs Louise, the local detective, by his side to deal with some unnecessary trouble.

..

On the road.

Louise drove the car with the help of the rearview mirror, and from time to time glanced at Dean who was looking out the window in a daze.

She has a strong personality.

It's rare to be so submissive in front of the opposite sex.

Dean is a special case.

The other party looks so young...

In Louise's heart, it's hard not to be curious and inquisitive about Dean.

Boredom on the road.

She couldn't help but speak, "Agent Dean, you seem to be very good at psychological reasoning?" ”

"Okay."

Dean casually said while paying attention to the traffic around him:

"For example, the murderer this time, generally this kind of person who is obsessed with old movies and reminisces about the past, is either old and cannot integrate into the fast-paced modern society, or is influenced by his family.

Although it is uncertain at the moment, whether the killer was a man or a woman, and how old he was.

But he has a special tenderness for each female victim. ”

"Special tenderness?"

Curiosity flashed in Louise's eyes.

Dean was in the morgue before, but he didn't say that.

"Did your boyfriend help you with your makeup?"

Dean retracted his gaze, looked at Louise who was driving, and said seriously:

"The female victims, until after their deaths, still maintained delicate makeup on their faces.

This requires the murderer to deliberately avoid staining the makeup on the girls' faces when handling the corpses, so as to keep it so well.

Think about it in this way.

The murderer removed the female victim's internal organs from her lower body.

In fact, it is also to maintain the integrity of the female victim's body surface as much as possible.

In a way.

The murderer pinned his role to Marilyn Monroe on these female victims, so he would be emotionally involved and use anesthesia to kill them.

Have you ever eaten Japanese food?

In order to preserve the freshness of the fillet, some Japanese restaurants dismember the fish while they are still alive, and then diners can enjoy their bodies in front of the head of the fish while their mouths are still open.

It's the same with murderers.

He didn't want those female victims to die because of fear, similar incontinence, distorted faces, etc., which affected the beauty in his heart. ”

"But..."

Louise was even more puzzled: "In that case, why did the murderer kill those female victims?" ”

"Disappointment!"

Dean closed his eyes, tried to substitute the psychology of the murderer at that time, and said slowly:

"Do you know why each victim was killed by the murderer and dumped three days after his disappearance?

It's because he's trying to reform the victims.

The murderer longs to have a Marilyn Monroe from the movie!

It's a pity that the five female victims, although they also have delicate faces and blond hair, the women of each era have a taste that belongs to that era.

This is a temperament that is difficult to shape simply by makeup and changing clothes.

Not to mention.

The five female victims, who were not professional actors, were in danger, and their hearts were full of fear.

This caused the murderer to create a psychological gap, so he killed them. ”

Louise didn't seem to understand.

Although she is not stupid, it takes a little time to digest this information.

Dean spoke more and more smoothly as he substituted for the murderer's thinking, and at the same time, the clues and inferences he had discovered before also poured into his mind and connected!

A lot of information can be obtained by deducing the criminal psychology of criminals.

Like what:

If the criminal psychology of the murderer is determined, it is like this: the murderer is obsessed with the things of the fifties, hunting women, trying to reform them, and obtain his own impression of Marilyn Mona.

Then we can know from this:

First, the murderer is most likely a male, withdrawn and homely.

Second, the murderer's mental state is unstable, or he has been subjected to some kind of severe stimulus that leads to escapism.

Another example: after the murderer killed the female victim, he deliberately let the body appear on the side of the road where it was easy to be found, and also used parasols to attract the attention of passing drivers, and used internal organs to mark flowers to increase the transmissibility of eucalyptus.

This is undoubtedly a murderer who wants to be famous.

He didn't even care if he would be caught.

And when these psychological deductions are combined, it is possible to obtain useful information.

For example: the fifties, nostalgic movies, female stars, imitation substitutions, three days of missing victims, disappointed killings, making big news...

These information elements, together.

Can you guess what the killer wanted to do?

Dean already had a conjecture about Mohu.

But this conjecture needs more clues to verify!

Broken eucalyptus is like a spider's web.

The clues are those broken grids, and only by following the grid, repairing them, and connecting them together, can we reach the center of the net.

That's the truth.

This process requires patience.

...

At this time.

Los Angeles.

Joss was a little disappointed when he heard his subordinates report that his good friend, Inspector Dean, had temporarily left Los Angeles for some reason.

Since the last time he almost killed Dean because of the Dark Web Killer, Joss was called back by his father.

This is also the reason why he suddenly disappeared for a while.

The purpose of going back is also very simple - to reproduce.

Of course, civilized people, speak civilized language, in short, Ruosi went back to the Commonwealth this time, it was to go back on a blind date.

as a scrap wood.

His only value and obligation is to spread the blood of his family.

The Joss family, in this respect, is simple and crude.

When you reach a certain age and have no offspring, your treatment will be curtailed, and you will even end up in poverty.

Before Ruoss, he put the breeding object on the 'ordinary girl' Laura (gym).

As a result, I didn't expect to become a green-headed baby.

This time, Ruosi had no choice but to accept the family's arrangement.

The girl next to him is his current fiancée.

The other is the second daughter of a small aristocratic family, and the name is very 'ordinary' - Gaia.

Gaia is good-looking, with thick blonde hair that is very absorbent, although her temper is a little arrogant, she has a good attitude in front of herself, knows how to advance and retreat, and understands etiquette.

Compare ex-girlfriend Laura:

Joss happily chose to accept.

This time back to Los Angeles.

He just wanted to tell his only friend in Los Angeles Dean, and invite him by the way, so that he would become his best man when the time came.

As a result, Dean is not here now.

How's this done?

Why don't you secretly find out Dean's location, and then go over and have a different reunion after a long absence?

Joss told his fiancée Gaia about his proposal.

Gaia also just escaped from the cage, she was curious about everything, and she also found it very interesting to hear Ruoss's suggestion, plus she knew that she could marry Ruosi, which belonged to Gao Pan, and she didn't dare to refuse to disappoint the fun.

So two unreliable people got busy.

...

The other side.

The backwoods of Las Vegas.

In a room full of clutter, the man got up from the bed, meticulously put on his shabby clothes, greeted the empty table, smiled, and walked out of the sealed place.

In the past two days, he has found a new heroine.

Today's weather is good, which is very suitable for the first meeting of the male and female protagonists...
