Previously, in a filled pit in the Nankai area, a dried body of a woman who had been dead for more than three months was found. Because he was naked, lying on his side, his abdomen was cut open, his organs were exposed, and he suffered a fatal wound, which was a transverse knife in the neck, separating the throat tendons and carotid arteries, causing the deceased to die of massive blood loss and shock.

The posture of the corpse, the location of the knife wound on the body, told Han Da'er that the murderer and the serial caesarean section case, the ripper impersonator was the same person. It's just that on this dried corpse, the neatness of the knife edge is slightly worse, showing that the murderer's methods when committing the crime are a little immature, and it is likely that the imitator has just started committing the crime.

Serial murderers will initially choose a place away from home to commit the murder, and then bury the body nearby. The murderer will often pass by and see the place where the body is buried or hidden, so that the murderer will feel safer.

Based on the first two cases, Han Dadaer speculated on the identity characteristics of the murderer, and felt that the murderer was a 25-35-year-old Chinese man with a well-educated family, a well-to-do family life, and an independent house. Moreover, according to the characteristics of the serial murderer, not only is the time and environment of his murder similar, but there are also fixed rules for his selection of targets. The two Hutong caesarean section cases occurred in the middle of the night and in foggy days, and the targets were both prostitutes. Therefore, if the dried corpse is indeed committed by the same murderer in the two cases, then the identity of the dry corpse should also be a prostitute.

But after investigation, near the place where the dried corpse was found in Nankai, except for a few famous schools, they were all ordinary houses, and there were no prostitution brothels.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, most of the south of the old city was a piece of water, in addition to the wall river and Haiguang Temple, until later a place was opened to the south, and the building began to be built, and only then began to be inhabited, because it was a place to open to the south, so this area was called Nankai. Tianjin Wei brothels are secretly prostituted, mostly concentrated in the area of Hou Jiahou and Nanshi, as well as the catfish nest rotor room in Qiandezhuang, which is very rare in Nankai.

Moreover, although these houses are relatively new, they are not very good places to live, and there are very few civilians who can wear black wool coats. These don't seem to be quite consistent with Han Da'er's speculation.

But in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Han Daring still asked Mei to send some people to secretly visit the surrounding area to see if there were any targets that echoed his speculative characteristics.

At this time, the murder of Lu Jun occurred, which disrupted the rhythm of Han Daring's murder, but also made Han Dada'er reflect that although the scars of the dried corpse were slightly immature, the location of the murder and burial of the corpse was obviously thoughtful, and it was not a sudden crime.

This made Han Daring faintly feel that the dry corpse was not the first person killed by the murderer, and there might be a victim who was killed earlier before this. However, the series of cases caused by Lu Jun's case caused Han Dadaer not to continue to investigate in this direction.

And after the General Department used the Nine Fingers and a Half case to hastily close the serial caesarean section, the imitator did not commit the crime again, so that everyone except the Investigation Department thought that Nine Fingers and a Half was the murderer.

However, Han Daring did not give up the investigation. After a meticulous visit, he found a den of secret prostitutes in the nearest private house where the dried body was found. And a few months ago, there was indeed a secret prostitute named "Qiu Yan", who disappeared after going out, because this secret prostitute was good at gambling, so they thought she was in debt and ran away, and it did not attract the attention of others.

The people in the secret prostitution den went to the epidemic prevention hospital to identify the corpse, but because the corpse has been dried up, it is difficult to identify, but with some physical characteristics, it can be basically confirmed that it is the missing prostitute Qiu Yan.

Han Daring also investigated Qiu Yan's background, the people she had come into contact with during her lifetime, and some of the people who often came to visit the benefactor.

This Qiu Yan is not very old, she is a new widow who has been dead for less than two years, because she has no livelihood, and she is a little beautiful, so she started a skin and meat business under the influence of others.

Qiu Yan is a person with high vision, and likes some benefactors who know books and etiquette. Because the secret prostitution den is relatively close to the campus area, I always want to hook up with some teaching gentlemen, or young students from good families. Don't think that the campus is full of righteous men and gentlemen, with Qiu Yan's unremitting efforts, there are really a few dignified literati who have become Qiu Yan's benefactors.

It's just that most people are not seduced by Qiu Yan, and once because they wanted to hook up with a young man, they were sternly rejected by the young man, and they also sued the local police station. Qiu Yan was also arrested by the police because of this, detained for three days, extorted some money, and almost even had a secret prostitution den ended.

It didn't take long for Qiu Yan to disappear. Han Daring'er found out that the clue was broken here.

When Han Dada'er was secretly visiting here, the newly recruited apprentice Chen Feiyang had been by his side, and after getting along, he found that this young man had a good character and was also very smart. But the Sanyang Sect is pervasive, and he was afraid that he would recruit a traitor on the side of the mountain, so he repeatedly investigated Chen Feiyang's identity and background, and after making sure that there was no suspicion, he asked Mei to transfer Chen Feiyang to the Investigation Department.

Han Dada'er solved Huang Xiao's case, and asked the General Department to close the serial caesarean section case, but this time Shangfeng didn't have any praise, so he seconded Chen Feiyang instead of rewarding Han Dada'er.

Chen Feiyang was successfully transferred to the Detective Bureau, he has no title, he is just an ordinary police officer, but he is the official establishment of the red name.

For this reason, You Fei also sighed with his teeth, the same person has a different fate, he has been mixed for so many years to go from a black name to a red name official establishment, and he has to rely on Han Dada'er's relationship to be seconded to the main hall, but this Chen Feiyang has just been a policeman for a few days, not only turned positive, but also transferred to the main hall, although he is an ordinary police officer, it can be regarded as a carp leaping dragon gate.

Although Han Dada'er doesn't like the rules of red tape, and feels that he is not much older than Chen Feiyang, so with this little brother, he actually doesn't need to be commensurate with master and apprentice. Who knows that Chen Feiyang and Zhang Biao Youfei, even Mei and others, insist that everything must be in accordance with the rules, and there must be a master and apprentice.

Seeing that Chen Feiyang was so persistent, Han Daring paid for a table of apprenticeship in Dengying Tower, and let Mei and Gao Baosheng sit with him, except for Wang Zhen, who was injured and recuperating, You Fei, Fan Tong, Zhang Biao, Li Huan, Liu Fang and others were also present.

Han Daring wanted to call Lao Su in the epidemic prevention hospital, but Lao Su didn't like to be lively, and he said that his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he didn't come.

At the banquet, Chen Feiyang officially worshipped Han Daring as his teacher, and after that, Han Daring not only taught him the ability to investigate and arrest the murderer, but also passed on a lot of Chen Feiyang's martial arts skills.

After the banquet, it was getting late, Han Da'er packed a few more wines and dishes, bought some sauces and a bottle of rose dew, and took Chen Feiyang to the epidemic prevention hospital to see Lao Su. Several people drank and talked in the epidemic prevention hospital, and talked about the caesarean section case until late at night, and Han Daring left with Chen Feiyang with a drunken feeling.

On the way back, I passed by Xiguan Street and happened to meet a patrol officer of Xiguan Street, Zhou Rui.

This patrol officer Zhou Rui is also a shrewd and capable policeman, and he is also the nephew of Feng Ye of the Wuhe Water Police, and he knew Han Daring before he became a policeman.

Han Dada'er saw that Zhou Rui was handcuffed by a thief, so he asked the reason, and then learned that this was a habitual thief who slipped the door and picked the lock, and after committing a crime in Nankai, he went to the ghost market to sell the stolen goods, and happened to be bumped into by Zhou Rui, so he was handcuffed.

Han Daring saw that the thief had a leather bag in his hand, and under the light of the street lamp, two pieces of drawing paper were exposed in the corner of the leather bag, so he took it and opened it to take a look.

There are four pieces of this paper, and the sleeping postures of four women are drawn with charcoal strips, all four of whom are naked and lying on their sides, their bodies curled up, and their expressions are serene, and the demeanor of two of them is clearly the two female victims of a serial caesarean section.

Han Daring immediately thought of the speculation that he had made money, the imitator was a person who could draw, and every time he killed someone, he would put the deceased in a sleeping position lying on his side, not only hugging the deceased, but also drawing the deceased's sleeping posture with charcoal essence strips. This is also the reason why the female deceased in the first case left charcoal ash stains on her body.

Han Dada'er immediately returned to the Xiguan Street Detention Center with Zhou Rui and raided the interrogation of this habitual thief.

The thief thought that the paper was a leather bag, but it was actually a soft leather folder, which was divided into many layers and was used to store some painting manuscripts. He stole it from one of the families of a bungalow in Nankai, but he didn't do it until dark, so he couldn't tell which one it was.

Today, Han Daring set the table to accept apprentices, from Mei to Fan Tong Youfei and others, they all drank a lot of wine, and today the detective department of the General Department was on duty, there were two old fritters, even if they called back, it would be dawn when they brought people to come, so they seconded a few people to Zhou Rui nearby, together with Zhou Rui and his apprentice Chen Feiyang, together with the habitual thief, rushed to the bungalow to find the place to steal this soft leather painting folder.

Along the way, Han Daring took advantage of the street lamps along the way to repeatedly look at the sketches of the characters on the four pieces of drawing paper. The lines of these figures are clear and the brushwork is smooth, and if you don't say that they are drawn from corpses, you really feel a sense of serenity.

Among the four paintings, two of them were recognized by Han Daring as the deceased in the first and second cases at a glance, and in the other two, the figure and hair length of one were very similar to the dried corpse found in the Nankai pit, and it was speculated that the person depicted was that person.

In addition to these three, there is also a sketch of the figure in this drawing that is noticeably more petite. Han Daring wondered, could it be that another murder happened? But recently, no corpses of the same kind have been found, unless the murderer changes the way of committing the crime, but with the murderer's increasingly arrogant attitude, if he continues to commit crimes, he will definitely use a more crazy way, instead of choosing low-key and restrained methods such as killing people and burying corpses.

The woman in this picture is petite and does not appear to be an adult. Han Daring felt that the murderer would definitely choose an easier target for the first time to commit a crime, and a petite woman would be the best target.

It's just that until now, the petite woman in this picture has not been found, and I don't know where the body is hidden?

came to the bungalow that the habitual thief tolerate, but at this time the sky was dark, it was the time for the ghost to bare his teeth, the habitual thief slipped the door and picked the lock, and did it at will, how could he remember which house and which household he stole the soft leather picture folder.

The police took him around the neighborhood three times, and it was only with his vague memory that he found a row of three bungalows. The lights of the three bungalows were all dark, and the habitual thief pointed to the middle room and said:

"It should be this one, when I pried open the window and went in, it was also dark inside, I thought there was no one in the main house, so I casually touched a leather bag and left......

Han Daring walked over to check outside the house, and saw that the lights were turned off inside, and the window was staggered. Strangely, the outside of the gate is not locked, but it cannot be pushed open from the outside.

Han Daring pushed open the window and entered the house through the window with Chen Feiyang, while Zhou Rui and two policemen watched the habitual thief outside the house.

Chen Feiyang saw that there was a lamp rope in the house, so he wanted to reach out and pull the lamp rope to turn on the light, but Han Daring's eyes were quick, and he immediately reached out to stop it, and said:

"This is probably the place for the copycats, who are so cunning and deceitful that they may set up a trap and ambush, so don't move anything!"

Zhou Rui handed in two flashlights from the window, Han Daring's master and apprentice checked in the room with flashlights, and saw that there were tables and chairs in this room, and there were several drawing board shelves, a lot of canvas paper, many sketches and sketches painted on the paper, and a lot of oil paintings nailed to the frame were placed against the wall, and the paintings were mostly portraits, many of which were portraits of women, or sleeping postures. On an easel in the center of the room, there is an unfinished oil painting. It was originally a studio.

The studio is not made of stone bricks, but a smooth ash floor, which is cement. The ash floor is very smooth. Ordinary ash ground, when mixing the ash will be mixed with a large amount of sand, so that the ash will be more durable, but the sand mixed with more ground will not be too smooth, will appear coarse and numb. It should have been laid with a lot of ash, but mixed with a small amount of sand. Generally, only wealthy families will use ash to pave the ground in this way, because ash is much more valuable than sand.

Looking up at the wall, I saw that there was a door on the wall that was closed, but this studio was a room of inner and outer coats.

Han Da'er carefully sniffed the smell of the studio with his nose and said:

"Feiyang, do you smell it?"

Chen Feiyang sniffed with his nose and said:

"It's all painty!"

Han Daring said:

"It's not paint, it's the smell of oil paint, do you smell anything else?"

Chen Feiyang looked at Han Daring and shook his head, but Han Daring said:

"The smell of paint is mixed with the smell of blood and corpses!"

Chen Feiyang sniffed again and said:

"Master, doesn't it smell musty? Maybe it's too damp in the house! ”

Han Daring said:

"No, it's supposed to be the smell of blood......

As he spoke, he pointed to the door on the wall and said:

"It must have come from the door......"
