I, the outlaw, was caught again

Chapter 149 The Second Crime Scene! Two Important Questions! [Two chapters in one!]

In his previous life, Xu Sheng had seen a case called "Snowman Hiding Corpse Dismemberments".

Compared with other cases, this case is more widely circulated among ordinary people and has been adapted by multiple physical book authors.

As for this case, Xu Sheng and Dayun were defeated in the arm wrestling match and there was no result.

At the same time, the authenticity of the case also needs to be referenced. Because it happened a long time ago, there is a certain possibility that it is a "rumor" case.

But the above did not prevent Xu Sheng from connecting the current case with this case.

"The Yeti hides the body."

"There is only one head. What does the head mean? Does it represent the other person's identity?"

"why?"

"What was the murderer's purpose? He hid the human head in the snowman. Why would he do this!?"

On the afternoon of the 17th, the police drove to the second crime scene.

Ronghua Park is a famous landmark area in Jiangsan City. Tourists who go out for fun or come to travel will come to this attraction to take photos and check in.

On January 17th, everyone who should go home has returned home. Parents who are with their families often bring their children out and then go to Ronghua Park for fun.

But today.
"Let's let one let, let one let!"

At this time, Ronghua Park was surrounded by a group of police, with cordons set up and countless residents gathered around. The bright red coats formed a sharp contrast with the cold white snow.

The policeman in a dark blue cotton jacket walked through the chattering crowd, climbed over the cordon, and looked at the scene in front of him.

In the center is a broken snowman.

The lower half of the snowman was still intact, but the upper half had fallen to the ground and turned into a pile of debris.

A head of a person who died with his eyes open appeared in the pile of ice chips with his mouth open. There were still ice chips on his eyelashes and face, and his expression was extremely stiff.

"According to eyewitnesses, the second snowman was built this morning and then discovered at noon."

Li Sheng frowned as he looked at the wound on his neck left by the saw.

At the same time, I also shared the internal affairs information with Mr. Xu.

"The person who called the police has been cleared of suspicion. The person was a 13-year-old child who wanted to kick the snowman to pieces because he was too naughty."

"Who would have thought that after he kicked the snowman's head off, a human head rolled out, with white eyes staring straight at him."

As he spoke, Li Sheng was filled with emotion.

This kind of snowman placed outdoors can indeed be easily kicked to pieces by some rude people.

But Li Sheng felt that this thirteen-year-old child would never kick a snowman again in his life.

Xu Sheng squatted down and looked at the head on the ground.

The surface of the head was covered with a thin layer of ice debris. Just like the first crime scene, no other injuries were seen on the body except for the neck.

This is a middle-aged woman.

The facial features are ordinary, but reveal a kind of beauty. However, now it is bloody and not so beautiful anymore.

"Smash the lower body."

Xu Sheng looked at the lower body of the snowman with dirty footprints on it and spoke.

Several policemen took a bunch of delicate tools and began to dissect Snowball bit by bit, just like an archaeologist.

After a long time, the snowball was broken into several pieces.

"only one?"

Li Sheng looked at the empty scene and murmured thoughtfully.

There were two victims at the first crime scene and one at the second crime scene, and a total of three victims have been found so far.

and
"From the time span of the victims and the appearance of the snowman, it can be seen that the murderer at the two crime scenes was not the same person."

At the first crime scene, the murderer was making a snowman in the early morning of the 16th, while at the second crime scene, the victim was estimated to be only a few hours away from death.

The time span is small, and the probability of gang committing the crime is very high.

"There are at least two murderers, or even three!"

Li Sheng nodded.

"The snowman at the second crime scene was made around 5am this morning."

"The owner of the breakfast shop opposite Ronghua Park once witnessed part of the murderer's process."

"According to him, the murderer was wearing a bulky cotton jacket and a hat so his face couldn't be seen clearly. However, judging from the description of his height, it is most likely a male."

"After the snowman was built, the other person sat next to it for about half an hour before walking away."

There are two snowmen on the scene, hiding three human heads.

Three human heads, made by at least two people.

The purpose of making a snowman
Mr. Xu looked at the breakfast shop opposite, walked forward a little, and then looked at Ronghua Park in front of him from the perspective of the breakfast shop.

What comes into view is a huge red landmark building with the top floor covered with snow.

Under the building is the snowman in the case.

"That means the murderer arrived at the crime scene at at least four o'clock, almost five o'clock."

Mr. Xu withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment, and began to investigate the identity of the victim.

'Walk away'

"The other party has no means of transportation?"

Li Sheng shook his head. "Probably not."

Electric cars are quite popular these days, but they are expensive. Not many people can afford cars, so bicycles are the only option. However, the breakfast shop owner didn't even see a bicycle.

Of course, even if there was any, it would be useless because the snow was too heavy.

Even if the terrain is as good as Jiangsan City, if the rain continues like this, there will probably be a mudslide like in other provinces.

The ground was covered with ice and the bikes couldn't be ridden.

As for buses and taxis, they would be delayed or even not running on snowy days, not to mention the four o'clock time period. Even in his 24 years, Xu Sheng had never seen any bus in Jiangsan City start picking up passengers at four o'clock.

The physical formula is very clear: distance = time x speed.

"The victim died in the early morning or morning of the 16th."

"If the opponent relies on walking to move forward"

Mr. Xu kept thinking about the time needed to kill someone and dissect the body, so as to figure out the time it would take the other party to get to the crime scene.

"Ten kilometers, at most ten kilometers."

Looking at the prosperous neighborhood around him, Xu Sheng thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.

"The victim's home is at most ten kilometers away from here."

"Start checking the surrounding residential areas and communities!"

The snow was so heavy that it was difficult to walk normally, and it was almost impossible to walk fast.

So ten kilometers is already a face-saving measure.

Even if ten kilometers is not possible, twenty kilometers will be fine.

After all, the police have the victim's facial features, so there is no need for them to investigate like a headless fly!
Li Sheng nodded. He had already sent people to investigate outside, but the reason for the investigation was not this, but because the resources would be wasted if not used.

As for Xu Sheng, he looked up at the scene around him, then shook his head and walked out.

"what are you going to do?"

"There are too few things left at the crime scene. There are no key clues. We don't even know the cause of the victim's death. There is no point in staying here. Why not go out for a walk? Maybe we can find some useful clues."

As Xu Sheng said this, he took Han Yang with him and walked out.

The last 'Diners' case taught them that a crime scene without clues was of no importance.

It's just a waste of time to stay here. It's better to walk around and maybe ask something.

Li Sheng nodded. He did not leave. Instead, he guarded the crime scene and continued to stay there.

"Brother Xu, is there any connection between the haunted house and the park?"

On the way, Han Yang asked Xu Sheng.

The first crime scene was purposely set up with a snowman at the door of the haunted house.

The second crime scene was also purposefully piled up in a park.

There must be some commonality between the two!
And what is this commonality?
What do haunted houses and parks have in common? A lot of people? Or a lot of space?

"do not know."

Xu Sheng shook his head. He didn't think there was anything special about his haunted house. Apart from the mentally ill or physically disabled employees, the facilities in his house were no different from other haunted houses.

Han Yang did not give up. He thought about it and said:
"The murderer and the victim had a bad relationship?"

"It should be, but it's not particularly bad."

Xu Sheng paused, then seemed to think of something and quickly added.

When you have a particularly bad relationship with someone, you may even want to kill him.
Where do you usually start?
Face!
Looking at most cases of torture and abuse in society, the facial features will not be ignored, and even the facial features will be the first target when killing or abusing someone!

why?
Because different facial features represent a person's identity, and different identities form distinct individuals!

When remembering someone, not many people think about the body, the fingers, or the back first.

Most of the time, we think about facial features!
Therefore, when you hate someone or even want to kill him, the facial features, which represent identity, become the best place to attack! Let's take the most common example.

sm.

Generally speaking, more extreme forms of SM involve slapping the face and causing harm to the body.

And the s who gets pleasure from it often gets a sense of satisfaction through the facial expressions of the m and the response shouted by the other party!

If m doesn't shout like a corpse, or if the sound is made by other people, then the sense of satisfaction will be lost for the most part.

After all, only when the body is abused and the sound is made by the head that symbolizes the owner of the body, it is considered abuse to the other person!

And this case.
"The murderer could hate the victim so much that he would chop off his head."

"But they didn't attack the face at the same time!?"

Han Yang was confused. He couldn't tell whether the murderer felt hatred for the victim or some other emotion.

Speaking of hatred, the other party does not cause any harm to the head of the representative individual.

Say no to hatred, and the victim is left with only a head.
"Maybe it's not him who's hated?"

Suddenly, Xu Sheng spoke inexplicably.

Han Yang was stunned, his head turned quickly, and then his eyes lit up.

"You mean, the murderer might be hating the victim's family!?"

Mr. Xu nodded.

The three victims all appeared to be middle-aged men in their forties.

What is the average person’s impression of middle-aged fever?
Car loans, mortgages, and exploited office workers
Putting these aside, the word "family" is the most stereotyped impression of middle-aged people!
When it comes to the word middle-aged people, most people will think of a weathered face, and then develop other associations, they will think of a family with children.

"At the first crime scene, I was originally going to state this conjecture."

"After all, judging from the time of the murder, the two people lived very close to each other, and the man and woman were both middle-aged, so it is natural to think of this."

"But unfortunately, the emergence of the second crime scene has made me hesitate a little about this guess," said Mr. Xu.

There was only one victim at the second crime scene.

Mr. Xu thought it might be a single-parent family.

But all in all, apart from the age, the rest does not fit the speculation about the 'family' at the first crime scene like the first crime scene.

But single-parent families cannot be excluded.

So, this idea was retained by Xu Sheng.

Anyway, the work of investigating the identity of the victim is proceeding steadily. When the identity is revealed, these speculations will be verified.

"If it's a family, then the murderer is going after the other members?"

Han Yang thought thoughtfully.

During this period, the two men kept visiting, but the old men and women around them did not have many clues to provide, and they had more curious questions than the police.

"The child? Or the parent?"

A family is generally composed of the elderly, middle-aged people and young people.

"Parents? The probability is low. According to the description of the breakfast shop owner, the murderer is not very old."

"This kind of people may make enemies with the elderly, but they usually cannot make a deadly feud, let alone torture and kill them. There is also hatred for the purpose of forming a snowman, a weird behavior."

Han Yang thought thoughtfully.

Each generation has its own generation gap, and when the gap becomes large enough, conflicts will arise between the two, and they will just call each other idiots.

Unless the other party causes some substantial harm!
But there is substantial damage.
Generally, they are murder, rape, and cheating.

As for the middle-aged and elderly, not many people can do this.
It is also unlikely that elderly people from two families would rape or kill others in Jiangsan City at the same time.

The probability is too small, and the irrelevant purpose of "snowman" can be completely ignored!

"child?"

"That's possible. After all, he is about the same age as the murderer. If they had a conflict, it's possible that he would have killed someone."

"But I still can't understand, if the children had offended the murderer, why did they cut off their parents' heads and wrap them in a snowdrift?"

Han Yang's face was full of confusion and he scratched his head.

"Shouldn't it be that every wrong has its perpetrator? Even if they were to make a snowman, they should have chopped off the child's head, right?"

“Who knows what the murderer was thinking.”

Xu Sheng waved his hands. He was not the murderer. Based on the clues he had at hand, how could he possibly guess the murderer's thoughts?
He solved the case.

Not a fortune teller!
"Maybe the murderer thought it was the fault of the parents for not raising the child properly, and then piled the child in the snow to let the parents calm down."

Xu Sheng said casually as he knocked on the door in front of him.

This place is seven kilometers away from the crime scene. The two of them walked for three hours while visiting and rushing!
"Dong Dong Dong~"

There was a knock on the iron door and a woman came out.

Just like before, when the victim's photo was taken out, the other party still shook his head.

After a while, Xu Sheng sighed, and he and Han Yang got in the car and returned to the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Apart from the crime scene and people who witnessed part of the incident, they found almost no useful clues.

Except fingerprints!

8:30 in the evening, in the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

"There were two fingerprints left at the crime scene. Through the analysis of the internal technical staff, I finally got some clues that might be useful."

In the brigade office, Li Sheng pinned several reports on the blackboard with a magnet.

Everyone stood up and looked closer.

What useful clues can fingerprints provide?

From a normal person's perspective, this thing can only be used to prove who the owner of the fingerprint is, and then used as evidence to prove whether the arrested suspect is the murderer of the case!
Indeed, this is the case with most police and fingerprint applications.

but
"Through fingerprints, we ultimately determined the murderer's age to be between seventeen and twenty-two years old."

"Two fingerprints, one for a man and one for a woman. The murderer at the second crime scene is a woman, and the murderer at the first crime scene is a man."

Fingerprints can reveal age and gender!

That’s right, seemingly unrelated things can actually be judged through testing.

Xu Sheng looked at it for a while and felt that this thing was not very useful except for screening, so he turned to look at Li Sheng.

"Where's the DNA test report?"

"Don't tell me your team's efficiency is so slow."

The test report has naturally been prepared.

Upon hearing this, Li Sheng put the remaining documents on the blackboard.

"The test report shows that there is no direct blood relationship between the three victims."

"As for the fatal injuries, based on the examination of the victim's remaining brain, we ultimately suspected that one of the victims died from stabbing with a sharp weapon!"

As he spoke, Li Sheng used a pen as a dagger, stood behind Han Yang, and pretended to stab him in the waist.

"And the murderer is likely acquainted with the victim!"

"At the very least, you will know the victim's children."

As he spoke, Li Sheng pointed to a photo of one of the victims.

The photo shows the first crime scene. The man's pupils are skewed, and he is most likely looking at the back.

"Summarize."

"The murder weapon at the first crime scene was probably a dagger. The murderer had a certain relationship with the victim. The murderer was a man."

"The murderer at the second crime scene is a woman, the murder weapon is unknown, and there is also some kind of relationship."

"There is a 90% chance that the two murderers are from the same gang. They killed people for the same reason and made the snowman for the same reason."

“Our current goal is to

Xu Sheng looked at the blackboard, his eyes constantly scanning the information on it, and at the same time he spoke. His tone was gentle, but it weighed on everyone's mind.

"Find these two reasons!"

A reason to kill someone, a reason to make a snowman.

Two reasons constitute this brutal case that happened before the Chinese New Year!

As long as we find the reason, this case can be solved!

But it involves age.
The youngest possible age is seventeen!

At this age, some young people would really kill people for trivial matters!
If it was a smaller incident, even if nothing happened and there was no conflict, people would still kill each other.
That's totally irrational!

Although the eyewitness' description may not be correct, given his age, it is difficult to rule out this possibility.

The breakthrough point for finding two reasons is.
Just as Xu Sheng was about to speak and express his doubts about the similarities between the park and the haunted house, a voice suddenly sounded from Li Sheng's intercom.

"Zizzi."

"Captain Li, Captain Li, the identity of the victim has finally been confirmed after an investigation!"

Everyone was stunned, and the next moment, everyone stood up immediately.

The victim has been identified!
