Chapter 43: Murder with Cruel Means
Murders occurred one after another.
All the women living in Dongzhou, from the eighty-year-old woman to the eight-year-old girl, were filled with fear and anxiety. Not only do people dare not go out at night, but also during the day, as long as it is dusk, they no longer dare to go out alone.
The victims were all women, and the murderer's killing methods were very cruel, and he was simply the embodiment of the devil in hell, the murderer.
The fatal wounds of the slain were all in the head, which were struck by an axe or woodcutter.
The murderer was horrific in cruelty, like a madman who used violence against the victims. This is a rare and brutal method of killing, and the people killed are all very beautiful women.
In just one to one and a half years, five people have died at the hands of the cruel murderer.
The five victims were: the doctor's wife, Mrs. Xuemei, the tailor Fan Ling, the young maid in the laundry, Mo Jiayi, the banker's daughter, Miss Huang Qiuyun, and finally the female oil painter, Miss Ge Lin.
They were all between twenty and thirty years old, and they were all very beautiful, they did not know each other, and they lived far apart. This murderous demon doesn't seem to consider the identity of the other party, and just kills when he sees it.
The five victims were initially inexplicably missing and abducted by unknown persons, and then on the eighth day, their murdered bodies would be found in the west of the city. This was the case for all five victims.
Although the Security Bureau tried its best to search for the murderer, it could not find a single clue, what the murderer looked like, how old he was, it was not known, and even his gender was unknown. And where the victims were hidden in the eight days before they were killed cannot be found.
In short, everything is a mystery and there is no clue.
The five victims, as if they had been consulted in advance, were all starving. It seemed that during those eight days, they had barely eaten anything, and their stomachs were dissected and found to be empty, with nothing inside. And their hands and feet had deep dents in the human skin, which were left by the tight ropes.
The murderer tied up all five beautiful women so that they could not move, and then gave them nothing to eat or drink, and left them to fall there to be slaughtered, and finally struck them on the head with an axe or a woodcutter, brutally killing them.
In each case, there were traces of carriages next to the corpses, suggesting that the corpses had been brought here after they had been killed from a distance.
Beyond these circumstances, no other clues were found. The police authorities also did not know where to start solving the case, and could not even determine the motive of the murderer.
The murderer is a bit like murder for money, because every time the victim has nothing on his body, such as money, rings, and accessories, but this is not certain. Because the corpses were exposed to the sparsely populated suburbs each time, there was a possibility that the belongings could be stolen by homeless people passing through.
Others believe that it is a vendetta because the method of killing is unusually cruel. However, these five people did not know each other before their deaths, nor did they live in the same place, so they had no relationship with each other, so there was no reason to be hated by the same murderer.
What kind of person is the murderer? Where are you?
The Security Bureau was unable to determine the policy for solving the case, and the whole case was confusing and could not find a breakthrough. Chief Inspector Wu Changhao was also anxious, but he couldn't do anything.
That's when another strange thing happened.
"Phew! I thought it was a wallet......"
One evening, a female cleaner dragged her tired body slowly home, and on the way her foot suddenly kicked something, it was a wallet, she thought it was money, and she couldn't help but feel a heartbeat. However, when she picked up the wallet and opened it, she found that it was only a small black leather diary.
"It's a thing, it's worthless!"
The cleaner was very bored, she glanced at it and was about to throw away the little wooden child, but after thinking about it, maybe there would be one or two banknotes in it, so she flipped through it, and saw that the whole book was almost completely blank, and there was only one page with a few lines written on it, which were the names of several women
"What's that?...... Oh! Maybe it's my girlfriend's name, it's boring!"
She muttered to herself as she casually read the names on the dim streetlight. The names seemed a little familiar, and suddenly she remembered something, and her heart couldn't help but jump.
Oh, my God! Aren't the first five elements the names of the five deceased in the tragic death of a woman? The cleaner's heart beat violently. She continued to look and saw that the names of the five dead were in the same order as when they were killed. However, what is strange is that there is also a three-digit number written after each name, such as: Xuemei 132, Fan Ling 118......
"What is this? Could it be that this diary is ...... Something that kills demons?"
The female cleaner shuddered immediately, and she hurriedly handed over her things to the nearby security office.
"I picked up something."
She hurriedly handed the small diary into the hands of the security guard, and then walked away without looking back. From then on, this little black diary became an important document and the focus of attention.
The Security Bureau determined that this item was indeed owned by the murderous demon.
However, they found that in addition to the names of the five victims, there was another line after it: "Williamson 114"
Williamson?...... Looking at this name, it seems to be a person from country D!"
"Is this also a victim?"
"No, we haven't received a report that someone with that name has been killed, and no one has come to report that she's missing."
"So, that's the target for the next killing?"
The murderous demon had written down the name of the sixth person to be killed, and the stakes were high.
The next day, security guards across the city were ordered to find a man with the surname Williamson. Finally, a female nurse named Kupa Williamson was found in a family in the Double Star District. The young woman, a native of country D, took leave to return home on June 26, but fifteen days have passed since today, and there has been no news of her safe return to country D, so the family is worried about her.
The Directorate of Security immediately deployed and deployed all police forces to conduct a thorough search. Sure enough, her body was found in the mountains and forests, her skull was almost shattered, and the tragedy of her death was unbearable to witness. It was found by a postman passing by and that she had been dead for about a week and her body was decomposing.
"That black diary is really something that kills demons. Before and after his murder, he wrote down the names of the women in order. ”
"But what do these numbers mean?"
The Directorate of Security was struggling to figure out what the figures meant.
He wrote down the names of the women he was going to kill in his diary, abducted them, and then killed them for another eight days. Presumably this must be a man, fierce and cruel, everyone thinks so. However, when the Security Bureau handed over the font on the diary to five or six experts for identification, the experts came to the same conclusion:
It was not written by a man, but by a woman who was highly educated, versatile, gentle, urbane, and kind-hearted. However, this woman seems to feel very keen, and her nerves are a little fragile. ”
In this way, this brutal murderous demon is actually a woman...... The entire city of Dongzhou was shocked by this, and the newspapers referred to her as the "axe-wielding woman", once again reported in detail about her past crimes, and described her as a witch with a natural temperament to kill. This makes everyone more frightened. And those young women don't dare to go out alone even during the day.
But then, things developed again, and a new and surprising discovery appeared.
It was a well-known newspaper in Dongzhou, and it was this newspaper that was the first to name the murderous demon "Axe-wielding Woman". In the paper's newsroom, a reporter pondered over a piece of paper, one of the reporters who covered the news. At this time, he suddenly screamed.
"Oh! That's right!"
"What's going on? What's the matter?" The reporter sitting next to him was startled by him and asked again and again.
"Look! Look at this! This was a shocking discovery. ”
