Detective Files II

Chapter 196 Troubleshooting
Hearing what Tian Mi said, Tian Yang didn't say a word, and quietly waited for the next step. After all, he didn't directly participate in this case, so he didn't have any right to speak.

An Changpu is different, he immediately compared the two previous cases: "You are right, the murderer's progress is still obvious, from the first victim Zhou Xiaoyue was tied up with a plastic rope Hold your hands. When the second victim, Li Yun, was reached, the murderer learned from the previous experience and changed to a self-locking cable tie, which made it easier to break free. When we checked Li Yun's body, we came to the conclusion that Li Yun struggled with the murderer, so this time not only the hands of the deceased were strangled by self-locking cable ties, but even the neck was the same. If I did not make a mistake in my judgment, the murderer should have committed violence after strangling the neck of the deceased .”

"On the one hand, he uses suffocation to weaken the victim's resistance. On the other hand, the murderer doesn't care whether the victim dies during the violence..." Tian Yang understood what An Changpu said. , eyebrows raised slightly, and sighed, "You guys really hit the nail on the head this time! If this trend continues, if you don't catch this pervert in time, he will become more and more cunning and skillful!"

"As for the third victim, I even have a guess." Tian Mi pointed to the newspaper thrown by the table. Different, in order to reduce the murderer’s target population, some information was specially disclosed to the media, and the results were similar to our expectations, or even better.”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help laughing at herself: "This is completely conceivable from the tone of the top urging us to solve the case quickly! Moreover, with our eyes alone, we can clearly find that the major newspapers and periodicals After the report was published, women wearing pink clothes during the day are rare on the street. Who would deliberately wear pink clothes to go out at night so unbelieving? Also, the third deceased was the same as the first two, thin and brown Curly and long hair, but he was not naked when he was found. The pink T-shirt that was obviously higher than the neckline of the skirt we found made me wonder if the murderer could not find a suitable one. The target has become a skinny woman with long brown curly hair who wears a pink T-shirt?"

Her speculation is very bold, but combined with the current situation, it shows a certain degree of rationality.

"If it's true, it's going to be difficult!" Mo Dou scratched the back of his head, "Originally he picked women with long brown curly hair and wearing pink clothes, but now that women in City C are more vigilant about their clothes, he changed Cheng brings his own pink clothes! If things go on like this, even if none of the women in City C has long brown curly hair, there is no guarantee that he won’t bring his own brown wig! If this case hadn’t been committed by a pervert, there would probably be no perverts in the world. !"

Tian Mi looked at the comparison of the characteristics of the first two cases summarized by Lu Xiangdong on the whiteboard, and was suddenly inspired: "Huh? Did you notice something?"

She got up and walked to the whiteboard, and quickly listed the situation of the third deceased in the blank space behind. The identity part could only be left blank temporarily because it was unclear.

"The first victim, Zhou Xiaoyue, when the murderer assaulted and killed her, because it was the first case, the method was the most unfamiliar, but Wang Forensic Doctor did not find any traces of violent struggle on Zhou Xiaoyue's body, inferring that she had hardly any serious injuries. Li Yun resisted, but Li Yun was different. Even though the murderer had improved his modus operandi on her body and tied her hands with hard-to-break self-locking cable ties, which restrained her to a certain extent, Li Yun still resisted very much. Powerful, this should also be an important reason for the tie around the neck of the deceased in the third case, and whether the third deceased had struggled before he was killed is unknown until Wang's forensic doctor has reached a conclusion."

After Tian Mi finished speaking, she looked at the three people who were waiting for the conclusion, and said slowly: "So I think that in these three cases, only Zhou Xiaoyue was planned by the murderer, and the other two were just the murderer's food after the first success. It's just a random selection of marrow and taste."

Mo Dou still has reservations about Tian Mi's conclusion: "You mean, after killing Zhou Xiaoyue, the murderer tasted the sweetness, so he walked around with a plastic cable tie? After he succeeded in killing Li Yun, he found that the woman in City C Don’t dare to wear pink anymore, so I brought an extra pink T-shirt with me? Who would do this to a normal person?”

"That's why we are facing a pervert this time!" Tian Mi argued, "Ordinary people don't walk around with shotguns on their backs, but hunters do! The murderer in this case is clearly playing the role of a hunter. Women are the ones I hunt, so my guess is not impossible."

"If you have any speculation, you have to confirm it, but before verifying the conclusion, let's be objective and say that our Tian Mi's thinking is still very thorough!" Tian Yang patted Tian Mi's head encouragingly, "Since you are so persistent, find a way Let's find the evidence! Of course, all of this will have to wait until the identity of the third deceased is confirmed."

When the identity of the third deceased was mentioned, Tian Mi couldn't help feeling sad again. There was nothing in the things that could prove his identity. The only hope was that the deceased had not performed so well in the past. , enabling them to find her profile from the fingerprint database.

It's a pity that this wish soon came to nothing. With the forensic autopsy report and other news gradually coming in, the answer Tian Mi waited for was: the cosmetics on the face of the third deceased were the same as those in the first two cases. The bruises are not serious, indicating that the deceased had struggled before being killed, but due to physical or other reasons, it was not violent enough.And the deceased did not leave any criminal records during his lifetime, and no matching fingerprints could be found from the fingerprint database.

The difference from the previous two cases was that during the autopsy, Wang Chun found that the deceased's mouth had been sealed with tape, and found a small amount of black fibers from her mouth.

After testing, the fibers found in the mouth of the third deceased were consistent with those found in Zhou Xiaoyue's body.

In order to ascertain the identity of the woman's body as soon as possible, after discussing with An Changpu, Tian Mi decided to focus on the park and investigate the surrounding nightclubs and bars.

After all, the clothes found in the artificial lake, no matter the style or material, can be seen at a glance that they must be the clothes of nightclub lovers. In addition, Wang Chun calculated that the victim's death time was around ten o'clock in the evening. Between eleven o'clock, there were no less than [-] bars, nightclubs and other places around the Baiyuan Garden where the body was found, and some clues might be found there.

The non-stop investigation did not bring the expected results. The operators and waiters who were asked said they had no impression of the characteristics described by Tian Mi and An Changpu.

Such an answer may be [-]% perfunctory. After all, no one in the nightclub bar business would want their store to be related to a murder case, but if they don’t know, they still have [-]% of the truth. Considering the nightclub night With the number of customers and the environment with flickering lights, it is obviously unrealistic to want to leave an impression on everyone who enters the store for consumption.

Lu Xiangdong has been busy holding academic conferences for the past two days. Strictly speaking, he is not the main job in handling cases with the Public Security Bureau. Naturally, he has no time to take care of it now, so he has not shown up.

Tian Mi wanted to call him several times, but gave up again, afraid of disturbing Lu Xiangdong's meeting, and afraid of being ridiculed by him saying that leaving him would be like losing his brain and he couldn't do anything well.

While checking around Baihuayuan, Tian Mi ran to a nearby shopping mall and picked up a pen during lunch break.

"Why do you want to buy a fountain pen all of a sudden?" An Changpu sat curiously at the restaurant table, fiddling with the shiny black fountain pen Tian Mi bought, "Isn't it you who want to use it? The style of this pen Doesn't it look too tough for a girl to use?"

"I bought it as a gift." Tian Mi took the pen back from his hand, carefully closed the lid, and put it into the velvet box.

"Give it to your father?" An Changpu guessed without thinking, "It's not from your father's generation anyway, it has to be from your uncle's generation!"

"Why do you guess so old? Can't it be of the same generation?"

"It's not very likely. What era is it now? It's the era of keyboards! How many people in my generation are fond of pens?" An Changpu said with a smile.

"Then... there must be someone who is different! I don't believe that everyone lives with their keyboards in their hands." Tian Mi retorted stubbornly, secretly annoyed why she didn't think twice when picking things.

In the afternoon, Tian Mi received several text messages from Wang Chun, all of them were asking her about Lu Xiangdong's personal information. Tian Mi took the time to reply to two, and only replied some basic information.

Lu Xiangdong has such a strange temper, who knows if he will blame himself for leaking too much!
This is Tian Mi's excuse for her reservations.

On the way home from get off work at night, she finally couldn't help calling Lu Xiangdong.

Soon, it was connected there.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xiangdong didn't greet Tian Mi, his voice sounded a little tired.

"Did I interrupt your work?"

"No, the meeting just ended and I'm a little tired. What's the matter? Is there anything that can't be solved without me?"

"Narcissist! Do you think the earth won't turn around without you?" Tian Mi choked back immediately after hearing this.

Lu Xiangdong's chuckle came from the other end of the phone.

"Then what are you calling me for?" he asked.

"It's nothing." Even though they weren't facing each other, Tian Mi's face still blushed involuntarily, "That's right, I just want to say thank you, ginger tea that day."

Lu Xiangdong hummed lightly, but didn't say anything.

"Your mother..." Tian Mi asked cautiously and tentatively, "Didn't you provoke you again these days?"

"No." Lu Xiangdong's answer was indiscriminate.

"Well, that's good." Tian Mi murmured in reply, not knowing what to say.

It was also quiet on the other end of the phone.

The two of them were silent for 2 minutes before Tian Mi suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly said: "Then you should be busy, I'm fine."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, shook his head, and continued walking towards home.
