Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 357 Distorted Psychology

Li Canghai smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Don't underestimate these. Inferring the murderer's inner activities from the crime scene can make a good judgment on the murderer's character and living habits, which can greatly improve the efficiency of solving the case. , It’s called criminal psychology. It’s very useful if you learn it well.”

It was the first time for Di Qing to hear such a novel subject, and she was very interested, she quickly nodded and said, "Quickly, quickly, what do you see from this...criminal psychology...?"

Li Canghai nodded, and continued: "From the situation in the dungeon of Hetou Village, it can be inferred that the murderer has a cautious personality, likes to abuse women, has extremely distorted psychology, and suffers from some functional impairments, and has a special habit for bellybands." .”

Following Li Canghai's description, the word popped up in everyone's mind at the same time: Abnormal.

What Li Canghai said, no matter how you think about it, is something only a pervert would do.

Li Canghai pointed to those evidences and said: "And these evidences were found by the officer from a secret room in the attic of Nanhua Temple. There are knife marks all over the secret room. It can be seen that the owner of the secret room often vents his inner anger in it. In addition In addition, the officer also found some more interesting things."

"What stuff?" Di Qing asked expectantly with her eyes wide open.

"Hair!" Li Canghai said calmly, pointing to the hair wrapped in cloth in the package.

Di Qing was stunned for a moment, she leaned over, picked up a lock of hair and looked at it carefully, wondering: "What can these hairs explain?"

"These hairs all come from women who were abused by him. If you observe carefully, you will find that these hairs all have one thing in common." Li Canghai said.

"What do they have in common?" Di Qing looked at the rows of hair on the table, lost in thought.

Suddenly, Di Qing groaned and said, "I see, these hairs are all tied up with red strings."

"That's right!" Li Canghai nodded approvingly to Di Qing, thinking that Di Qing's observation skills are becoming more and more detailed.

"But what do these red strings mean?" Di Qing asked with a puzzled expression.

"When I didn't connect the murderer with the owner of the secret room, I really didn't see anything, but since I confirmed that the two are the same person, I thought of some possibilities." Li Canghai took a few steps, and he paused. , picked up a lock of hair and said: "After the murder, the murderer first left the bellyband of the abused person, and then collected the hair of the deceased. This undoubtedly shows that the murderer's psychology is extremely twisted. It's different."

"What's the difference?" Di Qing looked extremely serious, like a student.And Li Canghai is the master, teaching her lessons and resolving her doubts.

"Collecting bellybands shows that bellybands have a kind of temptation for the murderer. But there is a difference in collecting hair. Look, these hairs are all carefully arranged by the murderer without any mess. The rope, but there is a sense of ritual. This shows that a woman's long hair has a very respected position in the murderer's heart." Li Canghai analyzed.

Di Qing gave a half-comprehension sound, blinked her eyes blankly, and suddenly asked, "What does this mean?"

"The murderer has such a deep obsession with women's long hair, there is only one possibility, that some of the closest women around him lost their long hair." Li Canghai said deeply.

At this time, the expressions of Lu Jitong and the two brothers unexpectedly changed at the same time.

"Is the woman next to him a nun?" Di Qing said half-jokingly.

Li Canghai looked at Di Qing in surprise, and said, "Qing'er, you are really getting better and better. However, you missed the point. The woman beside him is not a nun, but has become a nun."

"Hey, I just said it casually!" Di Qing's pretty face flushed slightly, she didn't expect that she really hit the point when she said it casually, she squinted her eyes, as if she was quite proud.

Li Canghai went on to say: "Combining the findings in Hetou Village and various clues in the attic, the official speculates that the murderer must be a person who was abused in childhood and has physical and psychological disabilities."

Seeing the doubts on everyone's faces, Li Canghai explained: "The murderer saw a woman wearing a bellyband when he was a child, so he became obsessed with the bellyband. The collection of women's long hair shows that the murderer has seen a woman with shaved hair and long hair. Hair is the last impression a woman gave him. The respect for long hair shows that the woman must have a high status in the heart of the murderer."

Lu Mengtong's body trembled involuntarily, and even his breathing became very short.

Li Canghai looked carefully, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "At first, I only knew that the murderer was not Lu Jitong, but I didn't know who the murderer was. It wasn't until I thought of these things that I found a breakthrough."

"Breakthrough point? Could it be a woman who shaved her hair and turned into a nun?" Di Qing blurted out as if her mind became more and more sensitive.

Li Canghai gave a cry of surprise, stretched out his thumb to Di Qing, and praised: "Qing'er, you are really getting smarter! That's right, it's exactly this. When I found a breakthrough, I asked Xiao Wu to go back to the Zhengyang, secretly investigate the list of women in Zhengyang who became nuns within 20 years."

There is a clear record in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but anyone who becomes a monk must report to the government, and then the government will record and compile a book, and then communicate with the temple, and then issue monk certificates and Taoist certificates before he can become a real monk.

Zhengyang City was originally a lower county, and apart from Nanhua Temple, there was only one Guanyin Nunnery located in the forest to the west of the city.

There are not many women who become nuns. In 20 years, there were only more than [-] women who saw through the red dust and escaped into Buddhism to accompany the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.

Di Qing took the list from Xiao Wu and looked at it carefully. The list recorded in detail the time when each woman became a monk.

"Cang Hai, there are so many people, how do you know who you are looking for?" Di Qing looked at the list and couldn't help feeling a little headache.

At this time, Xiao Wu said: "Miss Qing doesn't know something. The adults speculate that when the girl became a monk, the murderer was a child, so the time span is at least ten years, so I only need to investigate the list between ten and twenty years old." That's it."

Di Qing suddenly realized and nodded, she hurriedly checked carefully according to what Xiao Wu said.

After investigation, Di Qing found that there were still ten names on the list.

Di Qing frowned immediately, blinked her eyes, and said, "But there are still ten people left. How do you know who is related to him?"

"It's actually very simple. This list is the existing list in the government, and this is the list in Guanyin Nunnery. As long as you compare the two, you will know." Li Canghai took out another list from his sleeve, Said.

Di Qing grabbed the list with one hand, rolled her eyes at him fiercely, and said displeasedly: "Why didn't you bring out the list earlier?"
