Chapter 52: Forget-me-not
A woman was looking for her prey at a bar, and she approached a man and placed his hand gently on her shoulder. When the man saw that it was a beautiful woman, he happily asked the woman to sit down.
The woman took out a small box and asked the man if the handsome guy wanted to try it, and the man glanced at the contents of the box and immediately agreed. I saw the woman take out some petals from the box and spill them into the man's wine glass. The man happily thought he was lucky today, but he didn't expect that the next morning, the man died mysteriously on the street.
The police came to the scene after receiving a report that the deceased had been stabbed in the back by a sharp object, resulting in excessive blood loss and death due to excessive blood loss, and there were traces of being run over by wheels in his chest and abdomen.
The forensic doctor judged the marks based on the corpse spots, which were very similar to those caused by someone who deliberately drove over them after death.
The deceased's body was full of flowers and petals, which made the police feel that the case was not simple. Because there had been a similar case just a week ago.
Sister Xi judged from experience that such a ritualistic murder shows that the murderer must not commit an impulsive crime. And this petal should have a special meaning for the murderer.
Lao Ji found a car not far from the scene, and all the fingerprints in the car had been wiped, but judging from the driver's license in the car, the car was the deceased.
After returning to the police station, a forensic in-depth autopsy revealed that the deceased had one thing in common with the deceased a week ago, and that was that they had a particularly high alcohol concentration in their bodies. And judging from the wound data, the murderer should be at least 20 centimeters shorter than the deceased's height in order to form an oblique upward knife cut.
Subsequently, the police investigated the information of the victim, whose name was Hu Xiaojun, 37 years old, and the manager of a foreign trade company.
According to his colleagues, Hu Xiaojun often went to a bar in the southern suburbs to entertain and, like the previous victim, was killed after leaving the bar.
The height of the murderer was deduced from the petals found at the scene and the wounds of the deceased, so it can be basically inferred that the suspect is a woman. is about 1.6 meters tall, left with Hu Xiaojun in the bar, and then waited for an opportunity to commit a crime.
But Sister Xi was more puzzled that since the murderer had already killed the victim, why did she drive over the deceased again. And what is the expression of putting flower petals on the body of the deceased?
Police officer Xiao He investigated this flower called "forget-me-not", which is generally used to express the eternal love between lovers. Therefore, he guessed whether the murderer would be a woman who had been emotionally wounded, so she specialized in hunting drunk men in bars.
After hearing this, everyone agreed with his guess, so Lao Ji decided to let Sister Xi take someone to the bar to look for suspicious people, but at the same time, don't give up this clue of petals.
In the evening, Sister Xi and the other police officers went to the bar where Hu Xiaojun frequented, and there was no one they were looking for, except for some couples who were in love.
Unexpectedly, Cuong learns from the bartender that there is a woman who often drinks with "forget-me-not" wine, which is their bartender.
The next day, based on the information provided by the bartender, the police took the woman to the police station. In the face of Lao Ji's interrogation, the woman only admitted that she deceived the guests to buy alcohol, and she didn't go out of the bar with the man at all last night, and begged Lao Ji not to tell her family about it.
After Lao Ji came out, he felt that this woman was lying, but Sister Xi didn't think so, because generally people who pretend to cry will not have emotional twitching on their shoulders. And the suspect should be a psychologically strong person, and this woman is obviously not the murderer the police are looking for.
Out of the interrogation room, the laboratory department sent an inspection report of the dust attached to the surface of the petals. The results showed that there was a lot of salt on the petals, and although this is a coastal city, the amount of salt in the air varies depending on the distance from the sea.
Judging by the salt data on the surface of these petals, they should come from a florist within eight to ten kilometers of the sea. And it just so happens that the bar that Hu Xiaojun often goes to is also within this range.
After hearing this, Lao Ji decided to conduct door-to-door screening of flower shops in this area.
Sure enough, I learned from the owner of one of the flower shops that there was a person who often bought "forget-me-nots", and the dates of two of the bouquets were just the same as the time of the two crimes.
The boss said that there was a strict woman wrapped in sunglasses, who brought an umbrella every time she came, and she didn't need to wrap it when she bought flowers. The reason why I am impressed by her is because the person who buys "forget-me-not" generally gives her the feeling that she is full of expectations for love, and her behavior seems to be a very happy person, but this woman makes people look very depressed.
After hearing this, Lao Ji asked the proprietress if there was any other information about this person. The proprietress said that this woman swiped her card every time she came, and she happened to come to buy a bouquet of "forget-me-not" at noon today.
Lao Ji asked her to take out the bottom list of the woman's consumption, and then called the bureau to investigate the holder of the card. The police officer in charge of information investigation at the police station quickly found out the information of this person, the woman's name is Ren Yu, 26 years old, her husband was hit and killed by a drunk driver a month ago, and the driver has escaped.
If the killer is really her, then her motive for killing is to get revenge on those who are drunk and still driving, and the flower shop proprietress said that she bought flowers again today, indicating that she is likely to commit another murder tonight.
Lao Ji came to Ren Yu's house according to the address, and after searching the house, Lao Ji found photos of three men on the wall.
Two of the men were the deceased who had been found by the police, and the third man was likely her target tonight. The location marked on the map above happens to be by the river near the bar.
Lao Ji got the clue and immediately returned to the police force to deploy and arrest the operation.
....
At night a man was driving home when suddenly a woman appeared in front of his car, saying that she had just been robbed and needed her help.
The man enthusiastically went up to help, but unexpectedly, the woman suddenly took out a dagger from her bag and stabbed him, shouting that anyone who drove drunk should die.
But by the time the man woke up, it was too late, and at the critical moment, Team Luo led people to arrive in time to end this aimless revenge.
And the cause of the whole tragedy comes from drunk driving a month ago, for the safety of yourself and others, don't drive after drinking...
