Chapter 113: Constellations
Yuehai City Public Security Bureau. Mortuary.
"The time of death was between 1 and 3 a.m., the skull had multiple circular depressions, and the cause of death was a blunt object blow to the head, which caused a comminuted fracture of the skull, cerebral contusions and lacerations, and subdural hemorrhage."
Zhu Jiangjiang used a ruler to measure the size of the wounds on the skull one by one.
The victim was a young and delicate girl, but at this time, her head had already been deformed and collapsed, and her face was covered with black and red bloodstains, and she was lifeless.
"There is no obvious tissue contraction and edema around the punctate burns on the abdomen and lacerations on the lower body, and there are very few blood crusts, all of which are postmortem injuries."
There were eight spotted burns on the abdomen, and something resembling soot remained on them.
Zhu Jiangjiang took tweezers and a razor, carefully swept the debris onto the glass slide, and put it in the evidence bag.
At the same time, the thighs were sampled for white marks that had long since dried up and the lower body.
"The diameter of the twelve wounds on the head is about five to six centimeters, and the stress points are concentrated. The murder weapon used by the murderer was supposed to be a hammer, which did not match the case ten years ago. ”
Although the mold of the murder weapon has not yet been made, the shape of the wound is very typical, and it is not difficult to deduce the type of murder weapon based on experience alone.
"In other words, it is possible that this murderer is relatively thin." Shi Chong groaned.
This case was supposed to be an ordinary homicide case, but the reason why the Yuehai City police invited the special investigation team to come over as soon as the crime occurred was because a similar case had happened ten years ago.
……
"The Zodiac Killer, whose real name is Fan Shuai, often sneaks into the home of a woman who lives alone in the middle of the night, kills her and leaves a cigarette scar representing the constellation on the victim's abdomen, and once threatens to kill twelve people and stop."
Shi Chong pasted Fan Shuai's photo on the whiteboard.
Fan Shuai is a strong man, and when he commits the crime, he will hit the victim on the head to temporarily incapacitate him, and then commit the assault.
After doing so, he repeatedly hits the victim on the head, causing them to die completely, and then uses a cigarette butt to burn the victim's belly with a unique constellation pattern.
After killing the eighth victim, Fan Shuai, who was wanted by the whole city, was accidentally arrested because of a neighbor's report, and was executed last year.
"Yesterday's deceased, on the abdomen is the ninth zodiac sign Sagittarius, which coincides with the constellation of the deceased himself."
At the same time, it also means that this new killer inherits Fan Shuai's career.
Barring no accidents, there will be at least three more victims.
"The scar on the victim's abdomen was left by a cigarette butt, which has never been revealed in the media, so the suspect must have had close contact with Fan Shuai, Lin Zihan, how did you visit the prison?"
Listening to Shi Chong's words, Lin Zihan showed a depressed expression and lit up a large cardboard box half a meter long.
"The prison guards said that only his relatives had come to visit, but there were many fans who sent him things."
A box full of letters sent to Fan Shuai by fans outside the prison will take at least half a day to complete all of them.
"Unlike Fan Shuai, the suspect used a hammer instead of a fist when committing the crime, and the assault also occurred after the victim's death. This indicates that the suspect is most likely a thin man with a lack of self-confidence. ”
Dr. Yip pushed his glasses and pointed to the date of the murder.
"Yesterday was the first anniversary of Fan Shuai's death, and the suspect deliberately chose this time to commit the murder, and tried his best to reproduce the details of Fan Shuai's crime, reflecting his blind worship of Fan Shuai."
"People who lack a collective identity often tend to gain a strong sense of belonging in idolatry, and suspects should often behave in their lives as withdrawn, out of place with those around them, or even ostracized."
"How did the suspect get in touch with the victim?" The queen bee frowned slightly.
The victim was a single woman, so she was naturally wary, and there was no sign of the door lock being forcibly removed.
"Unless he's handsome, I can't think of how a person who doesn't have good social skills can get into a victim's home."
"Captain, the lab report is out."
At this time, Zhu Jiangjiang hurriedly walked into the office with the folder.
"In addition to soot, the wound on the abdomen also detected a coarse white fiber that looked like confetti. There were wood chips and oil left in the lacerations on the lower body, and I suspected that the killer was using something like a wooden stick. ”
The weirdest thing is that the DNA of the white residue actually comes from Fan Shuai, a dead man who has been dead for a whole year!
"I asked Lan Bo to check, and Fan Shuai's wife submitted a document to the court a year and a half ago to apply for donation J, which was approved."
While Zhu Jiangjiang was talking, Lan Bo had already sent the archived pictures of the documents to the group.
"Captain, Uncle Da and I will go to Fan Shuai's wife to ask, I really don't want to read these letters."
Before Shi Chong could speak, Lin Zihan hurriedly took the initiative to ask for help.
"These people are like pretending to in their heads, and they say that they want to marry him, and they want to vomit when they see it."
"Go ahead, by the way, contact Rambo to check the bank transfer records of all his close relatives before and after sperm donation."
When he got Shi Chong's head, Lin Zihan immediately pulled Uncle Da's soles to anoint oil.
"Captain, does the victim have a cat at home?"
Zhu Jiangjiang recalled the dream he had on the plane and asked casually.
The answer is no, which undoubtedly confirms the doubts in Zhu Jiangjiang's heart.
"It's strange that the victim didn't have a cat, but I collected cat hair from the victim's sleeve during the autopsy."
The victim was wearing pajamas, and how did she come into contact with cat hair when she didn't have a cat?
"The deceased's neighbor once said that on the night of the crime, she seemed to hear a cat bark." Queen Bee said.
"According to the investigation, the deceased was a very caring person, who often fed stray cats in the community after work, and from time to time sent rescued stray cats for sterilization."
"If the murderer had committed the crime with the help of the deceased's sympathy for the stray cat, he should have known the deceased considerably, and must have observed it for some time before committing the crime. I'll go with you and find out about the deceased's friends and colleagues. ”
Shi Chong handed over the task of screening letters to Dr. Ye and Zhu Jiangjiang, picked up his coat and turned to go out.
"Dr. Ye, look, this letter is a bit strange."
A large number of courtship letters and confession letters in the box were not without scolding, but those that didn't suit the taste were thrown away by Fan Shuai, and all that was kept were letters sent by his fans.
Among these letters, a courtship letter written entirely in English stands out as a special one.
"It seems to be an English poem that expresses the fiery love in a woman's heart." Dr. Ye picked up the letter and looked at it.
"On the surface, it seems like this, but there are so many ways to express love, so why do you have to use English?" Zhu Jiangjiang always felt that something was wrong.
Fan Shuai is a returnee, yes, but with the revival of ancient popular culture, if you really want to be subtle and affectionate, wouldn't it be better to sing a Guan Guan Ju dove?
"From the point of view of handwriting, the font of the person who wrote this letter is right-leaning, very small, the word spacing is unstable, the line direction is downward, and the strokes are soft. It can be seen that he is introverted, likes to avoid failure, and longs for the approval of others. ”
Dr. Ye pushed his glasses and looked at them carefully.
"From this point of view, it is somewhat consistent with our criminal profile."
