Chapter 17: Luring the Serpent Out of the Hole
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish you all a family reunion! Love is sweet! Have a good life! Works well! In good shape!
In addition to admiring the moon, don't forget to eat mooncakes!
……
The scene of the crime this time was Jingxiang in the southwest suburbs, and a large number of splattered bloodstains were found at the scene, so it can be concluded that Jingxiang was the first crime scene. Compared with the murder case in Xie Lun Dongli Park, the murderer's modus operandi in the two cases is the same, both stabbing the victim in the chest with a single-edged dagger and killing him, and then retaliating and striking the victim's lower body. It can be characterized as a serial homicide case, and the serious crime team decides to combine the cases for investigation.
Judging from the map, the straight-line distance between Jingxiang and Dongli Park is more than 15km, and our investigation direction should not be limited to the development zone, but should expand the search area, call up the surrounding surveillance, and focus on the investigation of women who meet the physical characteristics of the murderer.
This is a serial murder case, and the murderer's modus operandi is very professional and he is very familiar with the surrounding monitoring facilities.
No one can guarantee that the murderer will not commit the crime again.
It's only been four days since the last crime, and four days have passed, and we still don't know anything about the murderer.
At this time, the murderer is already choosing the next target.
Since it is a serial homicide case, the murderer must have his own murder logic, and the selection criteria for the target, as long as the two cases are compared, some rules for the murderer to kill will definitely be found.
Case 1: The deceased Xie Lun, aged 26, 1.76 meters tall, weighed 73 kilograms, unemployed, rich second generation. The time of death was between 1 and 2 a.m., and he had been heavily drunk before his death, and had been found to have drunk at the Black Rose Bar that night. The place of death was Higashiri Park, there was no monitoring at the scene, he was stabbed with a single-edged dagger in the chest and died, there were no resistance injuries and restraint injuries, his shirt was open, his chest was bare, his pants were piled up at his ankles, and his lower body was smashed.
Case 2: The deceased Cheng Qi, aged 28, 1.72 meters tall, weighed 60.5 kilograms, unemployed, rich second generation. He died between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m., and had been heavily drunk before his death, the exact place of drinking is unknown. The place of death was Jingxiang, there was no monitoring at the scene, he was stabbed in the chest with a single-edged dagger and died, there were no resistance injuries and restraint injuries, his shirt was open, his chest was exposed, his pants were piled up in the crook of his legs, and his lower body was smashed.
After such a comparison, it seems that it is not difficult to find that there are many commonalities between the two cases. The killer entered and exited the city's bars, immediately sought out and selected targets that met the criteria, lured them to a secluded and unmonitored location, tricked them into unbuttoning their shirts and pants, and killed the victim unsuspectingly.
The target of the murderer is the rich second generation who is in good shape and often goes to bars, and the murderer has a hatred for the rich, or has great resentment towards the specific group of rich second generation.
The Provincial Public Security Department attaches great importance to this serial murder case, endangers social and public safety, and is a serious provocation to the police, and orders the serious crime team to arrest the murderer at all costs, and all resources for the purpose of handling cases can be mobilized, and everything must be given the green light to the serious crime team.
With the support of the Provincial Public Security Department, we also let go of our hands and feet, adopted the traditional criminal investigation tactics of crowds, and deployed a large number of police forces to conduct a comprehensive screening of all surveillance within a three-kilometer radius of the two crime scenes, focusing on women who meet the physical characteristics of the murderers.
Sometimes, what seems simple and clumsy is often the most effective way.
……
The night is low, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the moonlight is exceptionally bright.
There is a peace between heaven and earth, and such a night makes people feel extraordinarily comfortable.
At this time, the office of the Serious Crime Team was brightly lit, and the sound of laughter and slapstick could be heard from time to time.
"You haven't been to a bar, have you?"
Jiang Tingbai stood in front of the grooming mirror at the door, arranging the collar of his polo shirt, one would turn the lapel, the other would stand up, and from time to time he would cast a surprised look at Xue Hang.
Xue Hang is wearing a black tight shirt today with a thin linen trench coat, which seems to be the same style as "Detective Chinatown". This outfit reveals the perfect muscle lines on his body, and the male hormones are full.
He looked down at what he was wearing, and then at Jiang Tingbai, he didn't know how many times stronger his outfit was than that polo shirt: "I really haven't been there, because I don't know how to drink." ”
"What's wrong with drinking, isn't it just opening your mouth and swallowing it? Zifan, quickly lend me your bottle of hairspray to spray. Jiang Tingbai turned around and lifted his crotch in the mirror, posing as a model.
I'm wearing a casual suit and a narrow Korean tie today, and I personally like to wear formal clothes, but since I became a criminal policeman, I mostly wear casual clothes.
"The polo shirt is the clothing worn by the aristocracy when they play polo, how can it be worn on you, so rustic? The street vendors are dressed more than you do. I looked at the small mirror on the table and straightened my hair, and said with disgust.
"It's not just rustic, it's also very greasy!" Lin Zifan was shining his shoes, and after listening to me, he agreed very much.
"You commoners, you just don't understand the clothes of our nobles." Jiang Tingbai shook his head, very disdainful.
In the next second, laughter broke out in the office.
"Don't be unconvinced, when I was young, I was the breaking god in the school, and the scenery was infinite! There's a long queue of girls chasing me! Jiang Tingbai took a selfie in the mirror.
"Just listen to him, I and him are from the same police academy, and I know exactly what he looks like." I put on a "gold watch" that I bought from the side of the road, and it was exactly the same as the real thing, except that it was easy to lose paint in summer and was relatively lightweight.
"Looks like I'm going to have to show off my dancing today." He clears his throat vigorously, drawing our attention in a seemingly unintentional way.
After making sure we were all looking at him, he was showing off his somewhat rusty breakdancing moves in the office.
Don't say it, it really smells like that.
"I only thought you were a greasy fat man, but I didn't expect you to be a flexible greasy fat man!" I picked up the hairspray and squirted it at my hairstyle.
"Don't say these useless things, hurry up, help me spray it!" Jiang Tingbai walked up to me and asked about the debt.
Hiss-hiss-
"Ahem......"
As soon as Li Meng entered the house, he was choked by the pungent smell of hairspray all over the room.
"What are you doing...... What the? She looked at the four of us, obviously stunned for a moment, and stayed directly at the door: "Is it the wrong way I opened it?" ”
"The four of us are going to solve the case, by the way, you can get off work today, and if you don't want to go home, stay in the office and be on duty." I smiled and beckoned everyone to get ready to go out.
Li Mengyi frowned, directly supported the door frame with one hand, and stopped all of us in the room: "Tell me quickly, where are you going?!" ”
We looked at each other and smiled, neither of us paying attention to her, and we were each tidying up our clothes.
"Zifan, are all the members of the criminal police team ready?" I asked.
Lin Zifan nodded and made an OK gesture towards me: "It's all ready, a team of two." ”
"Say it! Where are you going?! Otherwise, none of you will want to get out of this room today! Seeing that we ignored her, Li Meng was a little angry and shouted at the top of his throat.
Jiang Tingbai sneered, "Let's go to the bar...... Survey. ”
"Investigate at the bar? Need you to dress like this?! Li Meng looked at our state, obviously unconvinced.
"It's called fishing enforcement." I walked to the door and gently lowered Li Meng's arm holding the door frame, ready to sneak out quietly.
"Fishing enforcement? You don't want to go to the bar and play the role of the rich second generation to lead the snake out of the hole, right? Li Meng suddenly figured it out and looked surprised.
"That's right, but the murderer is only interested in men, so you don't have to go, it's useless to go, hahahaha, you can go home from work, let's go." Half of my body had already walked out of the house, and I was stopped by Li Meng again.
She glared at us: "I'm going too!" ”
"Huh?"
In the car, Lin Zifan was in charge of driving, Li Meng was sitting in the co-pilot, and the three of us were crowded into the back seat, looking at each other with a little lost expression.
Although we smoke, drink, and go to bars, we are all good detectives.
Besides, this is to go on official business, just to play "by the way".
None of us spoke, our eyes were rolling, and we were all thinking about our own wishful thinking. Because tonight's action is a team of two, no one wants to take Li Meng with them.
"Team Qin, the bar has arrived."
The car was parked on the side of the road, next to a bar called "Night Encounter". Tonight we touched dozens of police officers covering all the big bars in the city.
I made up my mind, and no matter what, I got out of the car quickly.
"Old dog, let's have a group!" After getting out of the car, I hurriedly beckoned the old dogs to form a team.
"Okay!" Jiang Tingbai immediately prepared to get out of the car, and at the same time cast an affirmative glance at me, at the critical moment, he has to be a brother who is reliable!
"Wait!"
Li Meng suddenly spoke, and the hearts of all of us trembled violently, and we didn't dare to move.
The old dog was still in a position ready to get out of the car, and his body was frozen there, looking very funny.
"Qin Mu, I'll be in a group with you." After Li Meng finished speaking, he opened the car door and got out of the car.
Hearing this, my smile froze directly on my face, and then I looked at the three people in the car, and I couldn't help showing joy on my face......
