task
Appeared.

Xu Sheng's eyes moved, and he looked at the snowman's head that was broken into pieces.

The carrot had wilted, the buttons were covered by the snow, and the frozen snow broke into pieces, revealing a round, wrapped object inside.

This is a.
Head.

Head!

The head appeared after rolling out of the snowman's head and breaking into pieces. The horizontal cut surface of the neck was clearly visible, and the bright red blood was frozen and water was extracted.

The head was open, but the frozen eyeballs had long lost their previous activity.

In an instant, the atmosphere among everyone present froze.

Xu Sheng moved suddenly, looked at Chaozi and shouted loudly.

"Chaozi, who told you to kick the little boy's snowman and break it?!"

"How dare you kick something that's not in our haunted house?!"

"Sun An, go and apologize!"

Two loud shouts were heard, which moved the minds of everyone present.

Chaozi reacted quickly and rushed forward to meet him.

Mr. Xu took a deep breath, then walked aside and took out his phone.

"Hey?"

"Hmm?" Li Sheng's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yeah." Xu Sheng hummed.

After a long while, a voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Ugh."

"The crime scene was at the entrance of the Xu Family Haunted House at the Sunshine Amusement Park in Jiangsan City."

"The victims were a man and a woman who had been murdered before the incident. Their heads were then cut off with a kitchen knife, hidden in a snowball and rolled to the playground."

"The crime happened on January 16th, at 8 a.m. The victim died around the 14th."

"Both victims were in a state of shock before their deaths, with expressions and eyes full of disbelief."

"The two victims were aged 37 and 35 respectively."

"The motive for the crime is unknown, the murderer is unknown, and the crime scene is unknown."

January 17th, 1:00 p.m.

Li Sheng was reading what was recorded in the notebook in his hand.

After he finished muttering, he turned his head to look to the side, and then the corners of his mouth twitched.

"That's about it."

"There are only 20 days left until the Chinese New Year, and our police station is planning to take a holiday."

Li Sheng sighed. He had originally been distributing the year-end bonuses and benefits given by the police station to the police officers.

The result was sudden.
A phone call from Mr. Xu hit him in the face.

Li Sheng immediately knew that this year would not be a good one.

It is indeed so.

After arriving at the crime scene, they smashed a hole in the remaining body of the snowman.

Sure enough, there was a head hidden inside.

The two heads were rolled into snowballs.

Stuff two snowballs together to form a snowman.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely heinous homicide case!
It happened less than a month before the Chinese New Year.
"We didn't build this snowman."

Xu Sheng glanced at the surrounding environment, sighed and said.

The haunted house is currently cordoned off.

The police are searching the haunted house according to procedures, and the rest of the people have also put up a cordon to surround the area around the haunted house, and at the same time sent out other people to investigate everywhere in the surrounding area.

Fortunately, it is the off-season now, and it has not affected the reputation of the haunted house.

"I know."

Li Sheng nodded.

Would two first-class merit winners do such a thing?
How much alcohol did you drink?

Checking out the haunted house is just a matter of procedure!

"Have you offended anyone recently?"

After thinking for a while, Li Sheng frowned and looked at Xu Sheng.

Killing someone and then dumping the body or the murder weapon at the home of someone you hate is a familiar thing for criminal police.

This happens in many cases.

"No, the haunted house has not been open these days, and the employees haven't been out much. At most, there are only a few people who are preparing food with me, or buying New Year's goods."

Xu Sheng pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

There is only one haunted house in the amusement park, and there is no such thing as meeting colleagues and being jealous of each other.

Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that it was caused by jealousy from the lingerie store outside or the haunted houses in other amusement parks.

But the feasibility is too small.

Although some people are capable of killing someone for such a small matter, Xu Sheng doesn't think that he would be the one to suffer such fate.

"That's a coincidence?"

Li Sheng raised his eyebrows.

Xu Sheng was silent for a while, looking at the placement of the snowman.

The snowman was located in the pile of snowmen made by Chaozi and the others, and was wrapped tightly.

what does this mean?
This means that the murderer placed the snowman here on purpose!

The snowman Chaozi built a few days ago had already occupied a lot of empty space. At that time, the murderer was still able to put the snowman in the center. He must have deliberately avoided many snowmen, leaving behind such a "bloody man".

If it was a coincidence, there shouldn't be such an obvious purpose.

Then comes the problem.
Why do this! ?

“It’s not necessarily a coincidence.”

Xu Sheng frowned, but he did not blindly excuse his haunted house.

After thinking about it, he shook his head and said:

"Perhaps it was a coincidence that the murderer encountered a haunted house, but it was not a coincidence that after encountering the haunted house, he chose to build a snowman at the door."

Li Sheng was stunned, then looked at the pile of snowmen in front of him.

"How to say?"

"What's so special about these snowmen Chaozi made?"

There are some special features, besides the large number.
"If ugliness counts, then it's not nothing."

Xu Sheng said helplessly.

There's nothing special about these snowmen, there are plenty of them on the road.

Mr. Xu also couldn't understand why the other party put a "blood man" at the door of his haunted house during the New Year.

Thinking of this, he glanced to the side.

Next to him were Wang Chao, Li Shu, Sun An and others who were being questioned by the police.

Li Shu and Sun An were relatively unfamiliar with each other, but Wang Chao was used to it. He enthusiastically helped them explain.

And that beast's family was now pale in the face, and didn't know what to do when being questioned by the police.

"Tsk, Chaozi's kick brought about a cold winter."

Xu Sheng sighed inwardly, recalling in his mind the glorious scene of Chaozi angrily kicking the snowman.

"What about the clues on the body?"

Li Sheng felt the chill and shrank his neck.

Handling a case in the snow in the middle of winter is really torture.

"Apart from the cuts, there were no obvious clues on the body. It could be said that there were none at all."

Han Yang sighed.

The snow is still falling now.

The clues were destroyed so completely that there was not even a footprint. Even the heavy snow would cover up any clues that could prove the other party's identity that were left behind inadvertently!
"All that can be seen is that the victim's neck was cut with a knife."

"Did the other snowmen take the clue?"

"No. We divided the snowman pile into two groups. One group destroyed it and searched it, while the other searched the entire pile. Neither group found any useful clues."

This is not surprising to many people.

The snowman was so ordinary that there were no clues at all.

"Where's the surveillance?"

Li Sheng raised his head and glanced at the surveillance camera at the door of the haunted house.

Han Yang still shook his head.

"The surveillance camera at the entrance of the haunted house can only see the corner of a bloody man, but cannot see the physical features of the murderer."

"All we can prove is that the murderer was out on the night of the 15th or the early morning of the 16th, and piled up the snowman at the door at night when no one was paying attention."

Night of the 15th, early morning of the 16th
Everyone was asleep during that time.
wrong.

Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the girls around him.

"Did the surveillance camera capture any trace of Mimi?"

Dogs are very friendly to humans. If the other party has no ill intentions and the dog is still conscious, the murderer may not see it, but the dog can see the murderer!
"Brother Xu, Mimi slept with me that night."

Wang Chao scratched his head in embarrassment. "It chased me into my room and bit me. We played with it for a while, and then I saw that the snow was still falling outside, so I stayed in the room."

Mr. Xu nodded.

A breakthrough point was eliminated, but Xu Sheng was not disappointed. He pondered for a moment and walked to the two heads with cold crystals on their surfaces.

The two heads were the same as before.

The surface was crystallized, with no external injuries except for the neck. There was fear on his face and disbelief in his eyes.

Mr. Xu put on rubber gloves and observed it briefly.

He slightly lifted the frozen stiff bangs of the female corpse, and the next moment, a crisp 'crackling' sound was heard from the ice.

He raised his eyebrows as he looked at what was hidden under his bangs.

"There were traces of blood on the woman's forehead."

"The murderer should have placed the two heads in a relatively narrow space after the bodies stopped bleeding, and then they collided, resulting in blood stains and scratches on the forehead of the second head."

A little trivia.

Blood drips, scrapes, and runs are all different and can be spotted with a little learning.

And there were scratches on the head.

Judging from the scratches, it was probably on the neck of the female corpse.

"The body will appear in the playground, where there is enough space to fit two heads but the space is too small."

Having said that, Xu Shen paused.

"Backpack?"

"Showing up at the playground with a backpack is a clue, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Sheng also sighed and said:

“Almost every visitor to the amusement park brings at least one bag.”

Mr. Xu nodded.

Indeed, the tourists who come here to play are all carrying large and small bags.

The information covered by this clue is too extensive. It is possible to check the surveillance near the haunted house, but the area near the haunted house is relatively empty, there are no dangerous facilities, and no surveillance.
"Didn't the security guards at the amusement park see anything unusual during their night patrol?"

The security facilities of the Happy Amusement Park are relatively high compared with its peers.

There are dedicated security guards here and there are fixed patrols at night.

"No."

Han Yang shook his head.

Security guards are just security guards, not special forces, and these people patrol just to get by.

It snowed heavily the night the snowman appeared. The security guards wished they could stay in their beds forever, and they did their best to deal with the situation when they went out on patrol.

And the murderer is not blind, he can naturally hide when he sees the light of the flashlight.

What's more, the other party only had two heads, not two corpses, so it was easy to hide if you wanted to.

However, what concerned Xu Sheng more was
"Did these two bodies die at the same time?"

Looking at the head of the middle-aged man in front of him, Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes.

Li Sheng knew what this meant, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"do not know."

What does the time of death mean?
It means the distance between two people!
Let’s use the example of the distance between tourists in the North Pole and the South Pole.

Suppose there was only one murderer and the murder weapon was the same knife. Then, one of the victims was traveling in Antarctica and the other in the Arctic. Later, both were killed during the trip. Would the time of death be very different?

big difference!

Traveling takes time!

The greater the distance, the greater the time interval between their deaths.

And if they are traveling in Antarctica or the Arctic without avoiding danger, the interval between deaths will naturally be shorter!
so.
"If the time interval between the deaths of two victims is short, it can't indicate the distance between the murderer and them, but it can indicate the distance between the victims!"

Mr. Xu spoke to the trainee police officer who was eavesdropping on the side.

These young policemen are the pillars of the future criminal police in Jiangsan City. If they can be trained, they should be trained. It will be a simple task anyway.

“And what does distance represent?”

"Representative relationship!"

for example.

Excluding friends and family members who live in different places, the closer someone lives to you, the more familiar you will be with him or her.

This is clearly reflected in rural areas.

For example, the closest people are parents or partners, the second are children or the elderly at home, the third are neighbors, and the fourth are slightly strangers.

The shorter the time interval between death, the closer the two are, and the closer they are, the more familiar they are naturally.

Familiarity is not all about good feelings. If you hate your neighbor, that is also a kind of familiarity.

After all, without the gossip of outsiders, you will only hate someone if you know their shortcomings, and knowing their shortcomings is naturally a familiar expression.

It can also be used in residential areas in the city. Although you cannot talk to your neighbors, knowing what they look like provides a sense of familiarity.

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the murderer deliberately brought the two victims together and then killed them."

"But we have no clues of this happening, and it can only be hidden in the 'concept' at present."

Xu Sheng stood up and spoke casually.

"So, at present, we are thinking about this kind of situation that has traces and can be checked."

Criminal investigation is a profession that requires continuous screening among all the options using the clues at hand.

There is naturally nothing wrong with this approach.

"The time of death of the two bodies should be similar, but due to the temperature, the difference will be lengthened, but generally speaking, the distance will not be far."

Li Sheng thought for a moment and spoke.

Winter and summer, both extremes have their pros and cons for the body.

The temperature in summer can cause corpses to decompose quickly, lengthening the time interval between deaths and enabling better judgment, but the decomposition speed is also fast, which will cause evidence to disappear.

It is difficult to determine the time interval between deaths in winter, but the rate of decay will decrease, which can better preserve clues at the scene.

"A man and a woman, not far from each other, of similar age, and the same way of death means the murderer had similar feelings for them."

Xu Sheng paused, and a word popped up in his mind.

"Are these two a couple?"

"Or a cheating family?"

These two are the ones that are more consistent with the clues among all the options.

However, if this is the relationship
Xu Sheng frowned.

"Then why would it be placed purposefully at the door of my haunted house?"

"If there's nothing special about the snowman, then what attracted the murderer should be something else, the 'haunted house' itself? No, there's nothing special about the haunted house from the outside."

"What could that be?"

"On the 15th, the haunted house was not open for business. Uncle Ba and Li Chao were cooking, while Chaozi, Li Shu, Sun An, and the circus troupe were having fun together."

“Nothing special.”

"Then the question is, why is it placed at the door of the haunted house on purpose?"

"It can't be that I really offended the murderer."

There must be a reason why the murderer came to the door of the haunted house.

But Xu Sheng couldn't figure out what was so special about the haunted house that attracted the murderer!

If it was the kind of tourists who liked to drink tea on top and pee on the tea below, it would be quite interesting, but the haunted house was not open during those days and there was no such scene.

"Put the snowman here at night. There is nothing special at night, so those who are eyeing the haunted house should have scouted the area in advance."

"The body's time of death should be the 14th."

"Come and check out the place during the day on the 15th?"

"But during the day, there were the things we just talked about. Apart from these, what else attracted the murderer?"

Now not only Xu Sheng was confused, but even Li Sheng fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, Xu Sheng looked at the scarf beside him.

The scarf is blood red, but that is not the scarf's original color.

Its original color is red, but what we see now is that it has been soaked in blood.

But because it was covered with snow and frozen by crystals, no one could see it.

Now clean off the ice residue on the surface so that we can see its true appearance.

"There are fingerprints on the button, but if there are no fingerprints in the archives, then the fingerprints are of little significance to the criminal investigation. They can only serve as clues to confirm the evidence of the murderer."

Fingerprints are formed when the oil secreted by the human body leaves a mark somewhere.

If you just soak it in water for a while, the fingerprints will not disappear unless you wash them off by hand.

So the snowflakes did not wash away the fingerprints, but even preserved them well.

“It’s getting weird.”

Xu Sheng murmured, wondering if he had offended anyone.

But after thinking for a long time, I could only think of the arrested murderers.

Just as he was thinking, Li Sheng's voice suddenly came from the side.

"What!?"

"What did you say!?"

Li Sheng was on the phone, his voice sounded a little shocked and his face looked very ugly.

After a long while, Li Sheng hung up the phone, his face full of black lines.

"what happened?"

Xu Sheng's heart skipped a beat and he immediately felt something was wrong.

Looking at him, Li Sheng took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.

"Jiangsan City Ronghua Park, where is"

"The second bloody man!"

Xu Sheng paused, and the next moment, his pupils shrank slightly.

The second bloody man?
Serial murder case!

"Let's go to the second crime scene!"
