Everyone was a little stunned.

That makes sense! Whoever kills someone naturally doesn't want to be discovered by others!

If it weren't for a secret place for him to build casually, who would dare to do such a big project as dismembering the corpse!

The next characteristic is related to the murderer's habit of handling corpses. Generally, when the murderer in the corpse division case disposes of the corpse, he will follow the characteristics of throwing the body far away and burying it closely, the head far away and the body close, the small near and the big far, and the corpse thrown at multiple points. ”

Hearing this passage made Zhu Shunxi and them look confused, although it was the first time for the people in the county government to hear this kind of statement, but combined with their case-handling experience, they understood it at once.

One of the officials couldn't help but say, "I don't know about the rest, but when we were looking for the corpse parts today, wasn't the situation completely in line with a few of the characteristics!" The heads of the two deceased were indeed found in the farthest place, and I don't know much about it, but now that I think about it, it is true that the corpse parts found in the same area are about the same size! ”

As he spoke, his eyes lit up and said, "Then according to the characteristics of small near and big far, let's go back to the area where we found those small corpses, isn't it very close to the place where the murderer divided the corpses?" ”

"However, among the characteristics that said, isn't there a distant and near-buried one?"

Another official immediately said: "It means that if the murderer wants to dispose of the body close to the place where he dismembered the body, he usually buried it, but this time the two deceased were disposed of after the body was dismembered, doesn't it mean that the place where the murderer's body was dismembered is actually far away from here?" ”

Xu Jing glanced at them with a smile and said, "These characteristics can only be said to be in line with most situations, but it is not excluded that there will be exceptions when investigating the case, and we can't completely copy them, they can only be used as references." In my judgment, the place where the murderer's body was dismembered was in this forest. ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Xu Jing in surprise.

How did judge this?

Chen Hu looked at Xu Jing with sparkling eyes, "There is another characteristic that haven't said, this point, are judged based on the last characteristic, right?" ”

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Chen Hu appreciatively, and said: "That's right, this last feature is called the circumferential hypothesis law, cough, you don't understand this name, don't worry, let me explain it briefly."

Generally, after committing a crime, murderers will have a certain amount of panic and nervousness, and everything they do is to make it more difficult for us to investigate the case, so as to achieve the purpose of evading their own criminal responsibility. So when they throw the body, they always think about throwing it as far away as possible, but in this process, because of emotional factors or their own physical factors, in fact, the distance between the place where he threw the body is about the same as the place where he committed the crime. ”

This kind of magical psychology is also often encountered in daily life.

For example, every time you go shopping for clothes, you will find that the style of the clothes you buy every time is almost the same, even if you buy with the idea of changing your style, but affected by your own aesthetics and living habits, you will always see the shadow of the previous clothes in the clothes you bought.

For example, when you go to the movies, the type of movie you choose is almost the same every time.

When you are working, the amount of time you can concentrate each time will not differ too much.

This kind of characteristic, in many cases, is not something you can change if you want to.

Xu Jing paused, and finally concluded: "To put it simply, we connect the murderer's multiple dumping points into a circle, and the location of his crime is often in the center of the circle or nearby!" ”

The above six characteristics are actually put forward by different modern scholars, and have been summarized by later generations as the five principles and one law of dismemberment of corpses.

This last feature is probably a bit abstract, even some people in the county government are also a little confused, and some can't help but ask: "Is it really that simple?" And didn't say that these principles don't necessarily fit all cases? ”

"That's right."

At this time, Xu Jing gave Cheng Xiao beside him a look, Cheng Xiao immediately handed a rolled up piece of paper to Xu Jing, Xu Jing smiled slightly and said: "I first heard the official who went to find the corpse parts say that some of the last corpse pieces were found on the other side of the forest, and I thought that this circumferential hypothesis should be in line with the situation of this case."

So, I tried to draw all the places where the bodies were dumped......"

As she spoke, she opened the paper in her hand, and by the light of the torches, a simple map of the forest was displayed in front of everyone.

This forest is not small, covering almost most of the area from Qingzhou to Xinzhou, and there are two rivers running through the forest, and this map is based on those two rivers and several characteristic cliffs as landmarks.

The map was drawn in charcoal, with a dozen red dots on it, and you don't have to think about it to know that it must be the place where the corpse parts were found!

Finally, use charcoal to connect the dots to each other, and in the middle, form a converging circle!

Not every line passes exactly through the center of the circle, but it's not far from each other!

Xu Jing immediately drew a smaller circle and circled those intersection points inside, Chen Hu immediately pointed to the smaller circle excitedly and said: "Xu Niangzi, does this mean that the murderer's crime location is in this small place?" ”

If it's just such a small place, there are so many of them, it doesn't take two quarters of an hour to search every corner!

It's just effortless!

Xu Jing smiled and nodded.

Chen Hu suddenly became energetic, straightened his waist and shouted, "Very good, brothers, work!" If we can't arrest this murderer tonight, we won't have the face to go back to sleep. ”

The other officials also chimed in energetically.

Just when everyone was gearing up to catch someone, Zhu Shunxi on the side suddenly said cautiously: "That...... Now that the officials have been decided, we have nothing to do with this case, we ...... Shall we go back first? You see that our lady in charge is still dizzy, and we will immediately go back and send someone to tell Lin Dangjia about this matter, and find someone to come and carry the bodies of Yang Shao and his daughter-in-law back......"

Before Deng Youwei could speak, Xu Jing looked at him with a smile, "Who said that you have nothing to do with this case?" ”

Zhu Shunxi was stunned, and his face turned pale again.

No, this still thinks that he is the one who kills people!

Deng Youwei glanced at Xu Jing and said, "Zhu, Zhu Langjun stay here first, wait, wait until we find the person who killed the person, and then talk." ”

After speaking, he didn't look at him again, waved his hand, and walked into the forest with a group of officials.
