Detective Files II

Chapter 409 Invisible Connection

After figuring out that the metal object is the handle of the scalpel, the identity of the person who may have been imprisoned by the murderer this time inevitably makes people think of medical workers naturally.

"Let's investigate the major hospitals in City C. Are there any doctors and nurses who didn't go to work for no reason? They can't be contacted!" Mo Dou heard that he had received something from the "judge" again, and it was uncharacteristically an operation. The handle of the knife immediately gave the most intuitive reaction, "No! The most nurses use are syringes! The one holding the scalpel... must be a surgeon!"

"Don't be so busy analyzing the case, don't forget that we still have someone to let go!" Tian Yang pointed to the postage stamp on the envelope, "Tan Lin was already in our sight when we sent the letter. It’s impossible to go and send us this scalpel handle, since his suspicion has been cleared because of this, then we have no right to keep him here!”

"Ouch! I almost forgot about this! I guess the old man must be quite disappointed!" Speaking of Tan Lin, even Mo Dou couldn't help laughing, "It's the first time I've seen Tan Lin at this age Can't wait for the police to detain his people!"

"Let's go, I'll go with you! I did all the formalities before, so it's better if I follow along." Tian Mi also stood up, and went to handle the formalities of releasing Tan Lin together with Mo Dou.

Sure enough, Tan Lin's reaction was just as Mo Dou expected, with a look of disappointment on his face, no joy or relief after being cleared of suspicion. He just lowered his head while sending him out after finishing the formalities. Say nothing.

"Where are you going?" Tian Mi asked him when he was about to reach the gate of the Public Security Bureau.

Tan Lin shook his head and kicked the small stones by his feet: "I don't know, I don't have much money on me, and staying in a hotel is not an option, and I don't feel at ease in my heart. Why don't you just buy a ticket and return to me?" Father-in-law and mother-in-law's side."

Tian Mi and Mo Dou accompanied him to the gate, at noon in summer, when the sun was at its most venomous, and only 30 meters away from the building to the gate of the courtyard, Tian Mi was caught by the sun. A layer of sweat came out.

She was standing on the side of the road planning to hail a taxi for Tan Lin, but just stood there looking around for a while, when an empty car parked not far away drove over.

"Take a car? Where are you going?" The driver lowered the window and stretched his neck to look at the three people standing beside the car.

Tan Lin slowly opened the car door and got in, and said to the driver, "Go to the passenger station."

Although he said so, he stuck his foot out of the car and refused to close the door.

"I said buddy, get in the car and close the door? If you open it like this, the cool air in my car's air conditioner will let you go!" The driver is a slightly fat man with a greasy expression on his face. Khan, with a white towel around his neck, was somewhat dissatisfied with Tan Lin's behavior, but he seemed unwilling to offend the guests, and his words were quite tactful.

Tan Linli ignored him, opened the car door a big gap, looked at Tian Mi eagerly, and suddenly reached out to grab her: "Sister, just do me a favor! I don't mind being detained here by you, really ! Let me stay for another two days, or I can give you the accommodation fee!"

The temperature at the moment has already passed 30 degrees, and even the asphalt road in front of him is almost melted by the sun, but Tan Lin's hands holding Tian Mi's wrist are icy cold.

Tian Mi looked at him, a little helpless, but failed to break free. The taxi driver behind Tan Lin was looking at them curiously. The wrist broke free from Tan Lin's cold hands.

"Sorry, we have regulations, and the Public Security Bureau is not a hotel. You need to find out the situation. Go back and discuss it with your family, and solve the problem through proper channels. In the future, don't be too high-minded, and be more down-to-earth than anything else. They are all strong." Tian Mi said to him pointingly.

Tan Lin reluctantly agreed, and knew that her request would not be accepted and agreed, so she was very depressed.

When Tian Mi said these words to him, she inadvertently glanced into the car, and this glance happened to let her see the sheep's head bone carving pendant hanging under the rearview mirror.

"Huh? It's you!" She took a closer look at the driver and finally recognized him.

The driver showed a dazed expression when she said this, and it seemed that because he heard that Tian Mi was a policeman from the Public Security Bureau, he was timidly embarrassed to ask what happened.

"Didn't you help a passenger send something to the Public Security Bureau before? I asked you to find out about the situation!" If it weren't for the sheep's head pendant hanging on the front of the car, it would be difficult for Tian Mi to get along with many taxi drivers and countless cars of the same color. The driver at that time was recognized in the taxi of the car model.

After her reminder, the driver suddenly remembered.

"After that, did you remember any more details? Or did you see that man again?" Tian Mi asked him.

"No, no! I haven't seen it! I haven't seen it again!" The driver quickly waved his hand, "Later I saw the report in the newspaper. I really don't know anything about it. I just drive a taxi and drive it all day long. Pulling so many people, almost never seeing each other again after getting off the bus! You better not ask me, I don’t want to be involved for no reason! Passenger station, right?”

He said the last sentence to Tan Lin, and without waiting for Tan Lin to say anything, he put down the handbrake and drove away.

"People are afraid of things! Let's see what happens!" Seeing Tian Mi's disappointed face, Mo Dou patted her on the shoulder, "Go, let's go back, we have to prepare to run to various hospitals in a while!"

Tian Mi sighed and nodded, the scorching sun made her feel even more anxious.

When the two returned to the crime team, Lu Xiangdong and Tian Yang were discussing why the murderer didn't send a video CD this time, but strangely sent a scalpel handle.

"Did the murderer feel that the previous game was not 'fun' enough, so he changed the rules of the game this time?" Tian Yang expressed his guess.

Lu Xiangdong shook his head directly when he heard this: "Jiang Yujing and Chu Han, these two people who don't have any boundaries at all, were tortured, humiliated and finally killed by the murderer in exactly the same way, according to the modus operandi of these two cases characteristics, I don't think this murderer is the kind of person who would change his modus operandi at any time."

"You mean, all the murderer's actions are strictly planned, so he will execute them meticulously. If there is no special reason, he will not change easily? If so, there is only one possibility, and that is this Once he met a tough victim and refused to submit obediently, so he, the 'director', couldn't make a satisfactory confession video as he wished!" Tian Mi followed Lu Xiangdong's train of thought to deduce the possibility.

"If you can't make a confession video that satisfies the 'judge', then simply not filming it is indeed the only way, otherwise if the disobedient victim deliberately reveals some information, then wouldn't this perverted game be unplayable Already!" After hearing what they said, Mo Dou had an opinion about the murderer's intention of sending the scalpel handle, "Didn't he always leave clues for us, and then let the imprisoned victim live for two days? We can't find anyone, so we kill the victim. Since there is no way to leave us an image as a clue to find someone, we have to use another way to hint us through the handle of the scalpel. This time he is targeting A doctor!"

"Although it is not yet certain that the victim this time is a doctor, at least from the appearance, we can assume that the victim's occupation is a doctor." Lu Xiangdong has not loosened his brows since he clarified the purpose of the metal object. , it seems that there are deep doubts that are bothering him, "But, why?"

"Why did you choose a doctor?" Tian Mi thought for a while, "Teacher, accountant, and doctor, these three professions are recognized as noble professions nowadays. Not only are their jobs decent, they are respected, and their income is generally high. You say, this Is the murderer out of a hatred of the rich?"

"I don't think so," Tian Yang had a different opinion, "Think about it, we don't know the identity of the third person for the time being. Just looking at Jiang Yujing and Chu Han, these two people are not law-abiding models. Citizens! Everyone has some stain on him, and that must be taken into account."

"You mean, the murderer was out of hatred for his profession?" Inspired by Tian Yang's words, Mo Dou suddenly realized, "That's right! In recent years, teachers and doctors have always been regarded as the target of public criticism. What is the problem of education methods? , What is the conflict between doctors and patients? Anyway, these two professions are glamorous, and they have been vilified and scolded a lot! Do you think the murderer developed extreme hatred for these professions because of this?"

"It's not right to say that. If it's just teachers and doctors, it makes sense. How much do you think the public opinion in this society is biased against accountants?" Tian Mi refuted Mo Dou's inference.

Asked by her, Mo Dou also felt that there were loopholes in his analysis, scratched his head, and was somewhat unable to answer.

"Then, could it be that the murderer just randomly selected people with taints to 'judge' them, and their occupations are not necessarily related?" After a moment of silence, Mo Dou spoke again, asking for other people's opinions.

This question actually exists in the hearts of Tian Mi and Tian Yang. In the serial murder cases that we have been exposed to before, there are some obvious similarities or connections between each victim. Only this time, the victim seems to be They are all very different individuals who have nothing to do with each other.

"No," Lu Xiangdong saw that the other three seemed to agree with Mo Dou's judgment, so he slowly opened his mouth and said in a tone mixed with confusion and determination, "I'm pretty sure that the victims' Existence is not a random choice, there must be some kind of connection between them that I can't understand now!"
