Chapter 205 The Fourth

After sending Sister Zhang away, Cheng Feng asked Tian Yang, An Changpu, and Jiayi to sit down together and talk about the case together.From Sun Ting's murder to the present, there have been three victims appearing one after another. Pure vendetta, love or financial killings are no longer enough to summarize the murderer's criminal motives. The direction of the next investigation is very critical.

"Three victims, the first is a female college student, the second is a saleswoman in a department store, and the third is a prostitute. These three people are completely different types!" Chang Po frowned. Since entering the serious crime team, he has also been exposed to different types of murder cases, and as Ma Chunlei often joked before, it is often not a simple case that requires the serious crime team to take over. Even so, this is the first time he has come into contact with a series of murders with such a cruel and strange method of killing: "Brother Feng, tell me, will it be like the one between Jin Yang and Feng Xiao? The murderer has only one target, and the other two are just smoke bombs?"

"You kid, I really don't know whether I should praise you for having a good memory, or for being too single-minded!" Tian Yang was amused by An Changpu's words: "Serial murders are rare, but like Jin Yang's, it's for money. There are not many lunatics who use unscrupulous means to bring irrelevant people in to cover their backs, that is an isolated case and cannot be applied to other cases!"

"Then you see, these three people, except that they are all women, have nothing to do with their looks, social status, and growth background, and they have completely different levels of contact with people. How can they find an intersection here? The murderer will Didn't he just find someone to do it? These three victims were just unlucky enough to be met by him?" An Changpu spread his hands helplessly.

"In a serial murder case, there must be some kind of connection between the victims. This type of criminal will never do it casually," Jiayi explained for An Changpu: "The victim is not a single person. Individual homicide criminals are generally divided into two categories, one is called massacre criminals, and the other is called perverted criminals. The common point of these two kinds of criminals is that they feel desperate for a certain phenomenon in society, but they are powerless to deal with it. Change the situation, so vent your anger by committing crimes."

"Then the murderer this time is definitely not a massacre type!" Tian Yang interjected, "Isn't the perpetrator of the school shooting in the United States a massacre type? You can see which one is not selected after a specific group, once shot , will inevitably cause dozens or even hundreds of casualties! In our case, the murderer has shot three times so far, resulting in the death of three victims. In terms of number and frequency, it is definitely not a massacre! Besides, the dead were all injured. Unrecognizable, bleeding to death, and even being painted with a pentagram, this is not a pervert or anything!"

Tian Yang's words made Jiayi couldn't help pursing his lips and laughing. Although what he said was true, it was still very different from the theoretical point of distinguishing these two types of criminals.

"Actually, the biggest difference between a massacre criminal and a perverted criminal lies in the criminal's attitude towards the consequences of the crime." Jiayi explained the difference with a smile: "When a massacre criminal commits a crime, his Despair in his heart is greater than hatred, that is to say, when he decides to commit a crime, he actually has the determination to die psychologically. This type of person is often the kind of person who is particularly inconspicuous and taciturn in life. Frustrated people, they use what little courage they have to retaliate against the society, and end their lives at the hands of others after being caught, so they don't try to hide their identities, and they don't want to escape punishment. The other category is different , their hatred for a certain phenomenon or a certain group of people is greater than despair, and they think that society and the law cannot solve it, so they want to do it themselves. When this type of people commit crimes, they usually try to eliminate traces and hide their identities , in order to achieve the purpose of evading punishment without anyone noticing. Because of this, the daily behavior of this type of criminal is also a very good disguise. Unlike massacre criminals, abnormal criminals often Their behavior is very normal, there is no difference from others, and many of them are outstanding performers, so it is difficult for them to be suspected of serious crimes.”

"Isn't that the so-called beast in clothes?" An Changpu made a very incisive summary, and all four of them laughed.

"Okay, let's get down to business," Cheng Feng cleared his throat: "The three victims, regardless of their identities and occupational differences, what do they have in common besides being women?"

"Young, the three victims are all under the age of 25." Tian Yang said.

"In terms of appearance, they are all quite good." An Changpu added the appearance issue that Tian Yang had neglected.

"It is also very important that although the three victims belonged to different social classes, they all have one thing in common," Cheng Feng said the night before, tossing and turning, repeatedly comparing various details since the discovery of the first victim , and found a very important connection: "The three victimized women are not very rigorous in their life styles. The first one, Sun Ting, has many suitors, rich night life, and had an extramarital affair with the married man Shi Lishan for a period of time. , the second Bai Yanli also had an improper relationship with a married man, not to mention the third Qiao Hong, her own 'occupation' already explained a lot of problems."

"Then you say, could this murderer be a woman?" Tian Yang put forward a bold hypothesis: "For example, she is a divorced woman whose family was destroyed, so she has an unforgettable hatred for the third party. Sun Ting and Bai Yanli They are or used to be a third party. Although Qiao Hong is not someone's concubine, her "business" may be affected by someone else, and it may cause some impact. Could it be such a divorced woman who believes that relying on the law is not enough? Can’t severely punish the mistresses and lovers, so I play the role of a law enforcer and vent my anger through this behavior?”

"What you said is not unreasonable." Cheng Feng first affirmed Tian Yang's deduction, but then changed the topic: "However, judging from the location where Sun Ting and Bai Yanli were found and the state of the corpses, the murderer should have some physical strength." With a certain level of strength, although there are exceptions for women, it may be difficult to achieve under normal circumstances, so this possibility does exist, but I prefer that the perpetrator is a man."

"I also think the murderer should be a man!" An Changpu hurriedly nodded in agreement with Cheng Feng's point of view: "I haven't come up with anything about Sun Ting yet, but Bai Yanli and Qiao Hong have people who are suspicious." Bai Yanli's mysterious lover, her roommate has never seen her before, she only knows that he is a married man, the tall man who left with her on the day Qiao Hong was killed, and Sister Zhang didn't see his face clearly, you say, will they be at all Is it the same person?"

"This is indeed worthy of our attention. Although Sister Zhang didn't see the specific appearance clearly, the physical characteristics she wrote down are still useful. Let's investigate around Qiao Hong's rented house and the crime scene. Let's see if there are any other witnesses!" Cheng Feng explained Tian Yang's next work priorities, and turned around to see Jia Yi who was alone in a daze: "What's the matter, Jia Yi? What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing, my brain is on standby." Jiayi came back to his senses and shook his head.

In fact, she had just heard Cheng Feng and the three of them discuss the case one by one. When talking about the tall man who left with Qiao Hong described by Sister Zhang, Jiayi always felt a strange feeling that was very familiar. It seemed to be a very familiar person beside her, but the image couldn't be cleared up. She didn't want to say this hazy thought, for fear of disturbing the thoughts of the other three people, so she simply waited for her to think clearly before speaking. not too late.

"I'll make a call to Lu Xiangdong." Jia Yi was still thinking about Bi Xia's injury, so he got up and went outside the serious crime team to call Lu Xiangdong.

"Hello? Has the fever gone?" As soon as the call was connected, Lu Xiangdong asked him first.

"Well, it's better, thank you for helping me ask for leave!" Jiayi didn't forget that Cheng Feng called Lu Xiangdong early in the morning.

"Where are you outside?" A few policemen said this and walked past Jiayi, Lu Xiangdong heard the voice.

"Well, it's at the Public Security Bureau." Thinking that Lu Xiangdong would say something else, he fell silent. Seeing that he was silent, Jia Yi went straight to the topic of the call: "You don't have class today, right? Go to the hospital some time Take a look at Bi Xia, after all, he is also a student of yours, with no relatives or reasons in City C."

"I'm not free." Lu Xiangdong's tone turned cold instantly.

"I don't know what's wrong with you teacher and student, don't be so childish, okay?" Jia Yi didn't understand why Lu Xiangdong's attitude was so abnormal, it made her think of Bi Xia and Lu Xiangdong who happened to run into each other the night before The scene of the dispute: "If you don't like to go, then don't go. Bi Xia is injured because of me, and I still have to bear the responsibility!"

"The two of us are fine, but you, if you feel uncomfortable, take a good rest, don't run to pretend to be a superhero! Also, have some brains, don't meddle in things like a fool."

Although Lu Xiangdong had a weird temper, he had never spoken harshly to anyone, and now his sudden reaction made Jiayi a little at a loss.

Suddenly Jiayi was patted on the shoulder, and Jiayi turned around to see Cheng Feng's serious face.

"I just called and found another female body."
