Hao Dong reported to Tian Chunda after returning from an investigation: "It is said that the third victim has been listed as the third person in the store, and the relationship between men is quite complicated. More than 100 business cards were found in her room alone. ”

After Hao Dong finished speaking, he put the business card tied with a rubber band in front of Tian Chunda.

"Can the murderer be in these business cards?"

Hao Dong flipped through the business cards one by one and looked at Tian Chunda.

"If the killer is among them, then he must know the third victim."

After Tian Chunda finished speaking, he asked Hao Dong:

"I told you there was a third hypothesis, right? It is that the murderer may know one of three people. ”

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Let's say the killer had a deep relationship with the third victim, possibly one of the people in this bundle of business cards. The killer wanted to kill her, but once he did, he was immediately suspected. So first of all, rape and kill two people who have nothing to do with each other. Killing people on Friday may be to deepen people's impressions. That being said, it is only an assumption. You must first check the owners of these business cards. Tian Chunda said.

In the evening of the same day, the results of the autopsy of the third victim arrived. The cause of death was death by suffocation due to strangulation. The time of death was determined to be between 11 and 12 o'clock at night, and the victim was raped and semen of blood type B was found from the vagina.

This case is exactly the same as the previous two cases, proving that the murder was indeed committed by one person.

As a result of the third case, the media and citizens have become more and more blaming the police.

Tian Chunda said solemnly to his subordinates: "Before next Friday, the murderer must be found no matter what." To do this, we have to find out those business cards as soon as possible. ”

"Does the captain think the murderer is there?"

"Honestly, it's only fifty percent likely. But the first two don't have any clues, so we're helpless. This time, after all, there are more than a hundred men, and maybe the murderer is among them. ”

The social relations of the more than 100 business card personnel are quite complex, especially those of high social status, who strenuously deny their relationship with the victims. There are also people who pretend to be confused, saying that others are abusing their business cards.

The scope of the investigation is shrinking. On Wednesday, the investigative team set their sights on one man. This person's name is Zuo Bai, 32 years old, and he is a hairstylist at the "Forest Beauty Salon".

After the investigation of Zuo Bai, the criminal police reported as follows: "He went to South Korea to study for two years since he was 27 years old, where he studied hairstyling and then returned to China. Since last year, I have been working as a hairstylist at Forest Beauty Salon. ”

When Hao Dong was making a report, Xiang Haiyang distributed Zuo Bai's half-length photo to the members of the detection team.

"Looks good. But his expression was rather gloomy. Tian Chunda glanced at the photo and said.

"Yes. People in beauty salons have the same opinion. Zuo Bai did have a gloomy look at times. According to our investigation, he was arrested for hooliganism when he was 18 and 19 years old. Hao Dong said.

"What about blood type?" Tian Chunda asked, pointing to the photo.

"Type B." replied to the ocean.

"So he has what it takes to be a murderer."

Tian Chunda said.

"yes, Team Field." Hao Dong nodded deeply, "He is 1.73 meters tall and weighs 60 kilograms, slightly thin, but very powerful. What's more, when he acts hooliganism against women, he tries to strip them naked. ”

What about his relationship with the third victim? Is it just the relationship between a night club hostess and a guest? ”

Tian Chunda asked.

"No, it's not."

"What is it?"

It is said that the victim often went to the forest beauty salon where Zuo Bai worked. The girl in charge of the reception in the store testified. ”

"What did Zuo Bai say himself?"

He admitted that she was one of the customers and had no particular relationship. He said that the business card was probably given to her when she first came, and it was a business card for business. This may be true. ”

"Has Zuo Bai ever been to the night club she serves?"

"According to the hostess of the 'Moonlight' club, he doesn't seem to have been there because they are not impressed."

"What was Zuo Bai doing when this case happened, and did he have an alibi?"

"Sanlin Beauty Salon is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The shop also closed at 8 p.m. on 19 September, when the third victim was killed. Zuo Bai said that on this day, he went home directly to watch TV. He lives single in a premium apartment in Higashidahashi. ”

"Does he have anything to do with the first two victims?" Tian Chunda asked again.

Hao Dong shook his head:

"I don't know yet. Zuo Bai said that he didn't know You Meiyun and female college student Gu Qing at all. ”

"Herein lies the problem." Tian Chunda said to Hao Dong, "I have to go to the forest beauty salon again." ”

Seven

On the same day, Tian Chunda led Hao Dong and others to the forest beauty salon.

The beauty salon is very large, and there are 10 men and 10 women in the hair stylist alone, and the customers sit side by side in swivel chairs to do their hair.

Tian Chunda and Hao Dong met with Lin Xia, the manager of the beauty salon. She was nearly sixty years old and a fat woman. She is proud to say that there are five branches across the country, and she also gave them brochures promoting beauty salons. As soon as they met, she showed the ability of a female boss to socialize.

"The police also came yesterday, is it the same thing?"

Lin Xia grabbed a cigarette with her thick danko-coated fingers and lit it.

"Yes. I want to talk to you about Zuo Bai. ”

"He's an excellent hair stylist and the backbone of my shop. He studied in Korea for two years and was indeed highly accomplished. ”

"Which one?"

"From the right, it's the third, the one who is working."

Tian Chunda turned his eyes to observe the young man carefully. It seems that he is more handsome than the photo, and he is an attractive young man. He was chatting with a middle-aged woman while trimming her hair. The woman's smiling shadow can be seen in the mirror.

"His craft must be very popular with customers, right?"

"Yes. There are many guests who appoint him to do their hair. Some female celebrities and rich women are his admirers. ”

"What's his personality?"

"Well...... I think he's a young man with a straight gut. I'm mainly a guest here, and it would have been nice if he had been a little more polite. He seemed a little too silent. ”

"How much does he earn?"

"I pay him 80,000 yuan a month."

"Pretty good."

"With his craft, this salary is deserved."

"It's a profession with a lot of income and is at the forefront of the times, so it's very popular with women, right? Does she have specific female friends? ”

"I've already told the police who came yesterday that I never ask about the privacy of the practitioners. I don't think he has a specific lover though. ”

"Why?"

"He was very popular with middle-aged women. As I said earlier, those are the wives of big people. They are very sensitive and will never like a man with a lover. ”

"Then he often associates with these noble ladies?"

Tian Chunda asked.

"Ah, this ......"

Lin Xia smiled slightly.

"Are there any female employees from the general company here?"

Tian Chunda remembered the first deceased - the female employee You Meiyun.

"Of course there is. Because the price here is not that expensive. ”

"What about the college girls?"

"Wealthy female college students also come often."

"Has this girl been here?"

Tian Chunda put the bust photos of You Meiyun and Gu Qing side by side in front of Lin Xia.

"This ......" Lin Xia held up her glasses and looked at them carefully, "These two people are people who have been published in the newspaper, right?" Killed on Friday? ”

"Yes."

"I don't think they ever came to me. Did you know about it? ”

"No, I don't know, that's why I came to visit."

"Probably not, I thought."

Lin Xia's tone when she spoke was not confident.

"Zuo Bai must have handed in his resume here, right?"

"Well, of course. I've always been cautious when using practitioners. ”

"Let me see, okay?"

"Please."

Lin Xia introduced Tian Chunda and Hao Dong into the manager's room, and took out a book of resumes from the display case in the room to show them.

Tian Chunda and Hao Dong read Zuo Bai's resume, which did not record the information of his minority.

"Did he write this resume?"

"According to the regulations, it should be written by himself, and he should write it himself."

"Can I borrow this resume?"

Lin Xia nodded suspiciously.
