Chapter 258: Countdown to Death

"The time of death is 12:40."

When Zhuge Fan heard this voice, he thought that he had been reincarnated and turned into a girl.

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Ke with a look of surprise, "What did you say?" Did you crack the teaser letter? ”

Then he turned his head to look and saw the time of death neatly written on the whiteboard, and he was immediately deflated again.

"Hey, it's written here! How could someone crack it at a glance, that didn't make me stupid. ”

Shen Ke raised his eyebrows, "Your death time is zero and round, and the murderer wrote it directly at the scene, right?" ”

Zhuge Fan was surprised now, this thing was not taken in the photo and pasted on the whiteboard.

"That's right!" He didn't have time to be happy for five seconds, and then he fell down again, "Also, the forensic doctor guessed the time of death, it may be so accurate, as long as an experienced old criminal investigator hears it, he knows that there is a problem." ”

"Then I also know that tonight, the murderer will kill at 1:16 in the morning."

Zhuge Fan was so excited that the light in his eyes would flicker into fireworks.

He stammered, "You, you, you...... Cracked? ”

Shen Ke shook his head, "It's not a complete crack, it's just that I know the time." ”

"These are some of the most well-known theories in communication and sociology."

"The first trailer is a spiral of silence, first proposed in 1974, corresponding to a time of death at 1:14."

"The second is me in the mirror, which was proposed by a foreign sociologist in his book in 1902. Corresponding to the time of death 00:02. ”

"The third is an opinion leader," Shen Ke said, raising his hand and pointing to the third teaser letter that Zhuge Fan hadn't had time to talk about, which was painted with a podium and a microphone.

"It was proposed in 1940, corresponding to the time of death 00:40."

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became lively, and the discussion was buzzing.

Zhuge Fan's eyes widened, and when he reacted, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly, and then glared at Gangzi and Huazi again, "Why does this murderer still engage in scumbag discrimination?" I thought the first one was twisting fries! ”

"According to what you say, the theory of this fourth advance letter was put forward in 1976, and the first 19 is not read, and the last 76 is the minute, that is, 1:16 in the morning."

Shen Ke nodded, "The first one is not fries, the fourth is." Potatoes on the couch. ”

"Although there are no potatoes on the sofa, there are potato chip residues under the sofa. The advance letter is to be understood, so that it can have the effect of a notice. ”

Zhuge Fan, I'm sorry, I really didn't understand.

Shen Ke said, looking at the place of Yu Chengfeng's death, which was the scene of his book signing, because the signing was going to be signed the next morning, so the scene had already been arranged.

Yu Chengfeng died in his seat, with a microphone in front of him.

His nose had been cut off, and he looked horrible. The white tablecloth on the table was stained red with blood.

"Only time is not enough, there must be a place, do you have a map of Yaoguang City here? Don't be a regular map, but a tourist map. Qi Huan on the side listened, and said to Lin Zhi, who was dumbfounded next to him.

Lin Zhi came back to his senses, his face was slightly red, he nodded, trotted to the pile of debris piled up in the corner, rummaged through it, flipped through it for a long time, and turned out a new version of the tourist map.

"Here, it's from Yaoguang City", Lin Zhi's voice was crisp and sounding good.

She was about twenty-four or five years old, slightly rounded, and looked very cute.

Shen Ke didn't continue to speak, and fell into deep thought.

Over there, Qi Huan looked at it, and put the mobile phone in front of everyone in the Yaoguang Criminal Team with a smile, "What I searched just now is even hotter than the freshly baked fries." ”

"The potatoes on this couch literally. In fact, the emergence of this theory has its epochal nature. It was the golden age of TV shows, and many teenagers just sat on the couch all day watching TV and eating junk food. ”

"In the long run, this kind of behavior can make it difficult for people to communicate with others and reduce interpersonal interactions."

Qi Huan's behavior of reading on his mobile phone suddenly shortened the distance between the whole office.

Zhuge Fan listened, and finally regained his confidence that he was still a human being.

"But who doesn't have a sofa TV, and how do you determine where the sofa TV is? The prophecy of this murderer is very problematic, even if we know in advance what kind of broken theory this is......"

"What's the use of that? We didn't know that he was going to kill Yu Chengfeng, we didn't know that we were going to kill Chengfeng, how could we think that a place with a microphone and a podium would be the scene of his signing meeting. ”

This is simply embarrassing his fat tiger!

"Hmm", Shen Ke nodded, "So, there are still places in this that have not been cracked by us." ”

She said, glancing at the time on her phone, "It's 8:35 p.m., and there is still some time before the time of the crime." ”

Shen Ke said, his mind spun quickly, "The first place of death, the art museum, the second Internet celebrity live broadcast street, and the third signing site, the common characteristics of the three locations are all where the victim works." ”

"These locations are all directly related to the victim."

Shen Ke said, looked around, but didn't find the second whiteboard, she thought, reached out, and directly turned the whiteboard upside down and flipped it over.

Then he picked up the marker and wrote on the other side of the whiteboard.

"There are many theories related to social communication, such as the knowledge gap theory, the backfire effect, and so on. The murderer is selective about these theories. We now make a portrait of the murderer. ”

"The murderer is very knowledgeable about the theory of this area, and it is likely that he is a scholar, a media person, a college student in a related major, and it is very likely that he has been violated in this regard."

The deputy team leader with eyes couldn't help but interrupt Shen Ke's words, "I understand everything in front, but what's the matter with being violated?" ”

Shen Ke was silent for a moment.

"The murderer had a motive for committing the crime, he had the act of destroying the body, the tongue, the face, the nose...... All three are different, they are all carefully selected and matched with the corresponding theories. ”

Shen Ke said, writing the keyword "revenge" on the blackboard.

Zhuge Fan shook his head, "Before you came, we checked, and there is no connection between these victims, they don't know each other. The first three are all locals, and there may be some hidden relationships that we don't know. ”

"But that Yu Chengfeng is the first time to come to Yaoguang."

"I don't know each other in reality, but what if I know each other online?" Qi Huan thought for a moment and said, "There are a lot of social media now, and there are far more ways to interact with each other than you imagined, and they are much more hidden. ”

"What if this persecution does not happen in real life, but on the Internet? For example, cyberbullying. ”

Shen Ke glanced at Qi Huan appreciatively, "The location is difficult to see from the preview letter, what we have to do now is to have two hands, the first is to choose someone who is familiar with Yaoguang, and go to find a possible location, it should not be home, but a place with some popularity." ”

"There are screens, it's easy to get addicted, and there's a lot of junk food."

"Second-hand, before the murderer kills, find out the truth of the story, know who the murderer is, and who will kill next, and naturally know where the location is."

"The purpose of the murderer's letter to the police is to let us find the truth."

"And this teaser letter is a clue to us, as well as a countdown to death."
