Crime Profiler 2

Chapter 10 Ling Chi Torture (2)
"Then have you ever thought about what if the murderer digested the meat himself?" Qin Ling asked.

"Digest by yourself? What do you mean?" Liu Sheng looked at Qin Ling, his face gradually turning pale. "Your suspicion is not unreasonable. What if the murderer ate the meat himself? Our secret tracking will not find anything at all."

Qin Ling nodded.

"It's unlikely." Liu Sheng shook his head, but everyone could see that he was just forcing himself not to accept such a point of view.

"Brother, nothing is impossible. This is not the first time we have come into contact with such a case of cannibalism." Tang Hegong said sympathetically, wrapping his arms around Liu Sheng's shoulders.

"What is this?" At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation in the hot pot restaurant, followed by the noise of people standing up hastily and knocking over the tables.A group of diners frantically fled outside the store like avoiding the plague, and a few fragile women even sat slumped in a corner, trembling all over.

"What happened?" Zheng Yan grabbed a fleeing diner and asked.

"Meat, human flesh." The diner stammered, broke free from Zheng Yan's hand, ran to the side, leaned on the wall and vomited violently.

"Don't panic, I'm a policeman." Liu Sheng squeezed his way into the store, stood on a table and shouted.

The panicked crowd fell silent for a brief moment, and then fled even more frantically.

Maybe they can't afford to get into trouble with the police more than eating human flesh.

Qin Ling tried her best to get through the crowd and squeeze into the store, but she was petite like a boat in the wind and rain, and would be overturned by the wind and waves at any time.Fortunately, Tang Hegong was by her side, protecting her with his body.

Zheng Yan with sharp eyesight and quick hands only had time to protect Mu Xue, who was closest to him, in his arms. When he tried to find Du Li again, he couldn't find her.

"Doctor Du!" Zheng Yan shouted, but did not get any response.His eyes anxiously searched the crowd.

Fortunately, due to the restrictions of the store, there were not many people. After just a few minutes, the crowd dispersed.Zheng Yan finally saw Du Li.At some point, she had squeezed into the crowd and was half kneeling on the ground. It seemed that she was trying to protect something in her arms.

Beside her, squatted a man who looked 25 or [-] years old, wearing a suit and glasses.He was sticking his fingers down his throat, trying to force himself to vomit.

"Doctor Du, are you okay?" Zheng Yan walked up and asked.

"I'm fine." Du Li shook her head, but her voice was filled with unconcealable pain.

"Let me see." Zheng Yan pulled Du Li up involuntarily, but saw a pot on the ground in front of her. The soup in the pot was still boiling, and half of a man's penis was floating and sinking in the soup.

Du Li's hands were extremely red and swollen, shaking uncontrollably.Undoubtedly, in the chaos just now, Du Li followed behind Liu Sheng, squeezed into the crowd at the first time, and saw the important physical evidence on the table.In order to prevent these evidences from being lost in the chaos, she hugged the hot pot with both hands and held it in front of her body.

The heat inevitably scalded her hands.

"You are so stupid!" Zheng Yan said with a downcast face. Before Du Li could speak, he turned to Liu Sheng and shouted, "Captain Liu, please arrange for someone to take Dr. Du to the hospital. She is injured."

Seeing Du Li's hand and Zheng Yan's gloomy face, Liu Sheng was also a little uneasy. He hurriedly arranged for a police officer to take Du Li to the hospital, and then walked around the store a little anxiously. He didn't know what was going to happen next. what to do.

"I'm sorry, Team Leader Tang and Officer Zheng, I failed to protect Officer Du well!" He said guiltily.

"Lingzi, look at these things, Captain Liu, control the waiters in the store and ask them where this plate of meat came from." Zheng Yan did not answer, but ordered decisively, and glanced at Mu Xue again.

At this time, Mu Xue was inspecting a plate of meat slices on the table that hadn't been put into the pot in time. Seeing Zheng Yan looking at her, she quickly said: "From the texture, it must not be mutton."

Qin Ling also picked up a piece of meat, looked at it carefully, and said, "Human flesh with life reactions. In other words, it is the flesh that the murderer cut from the victim when the victim was still alive or had just died."

Hearing what she said, the young man who hid aside and vomited couldn't hold back even more.

"Liu Ming? Why are you here?" Tang Hegong originally wanted to step forward to comfort Zheng Yan, but he saw the young man hiding aside at a glance, the color on his face changed, and he asked in surprise.

"Old...teacher?" The young man called Liu Ming raised his head, with vomit still remaining in the corner of his mouth, he took the mineral water Qin Ling handed over, rinsed his mouth, and said, "Lingzi, why are you here?" here?"

"I accompanied the teacher to handle a case, but you haven't said why are you here?" Qin Ling asked.

"That plate of meat..." Liu Ming smiled wryly, pointed to the evidence that Du Li had to preserve even though he was injured, and said, "I ordered that plate of meat."

"Don't say anything." Tang Hegong patted Liu Ming's shoulder vigorously and shouted, "Captain Liu, haven't you asked what's going on?"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng came out from the back kitchen, holding a few black plastic bags in his hands, "Team Leader Tang, I have basically figured it out, and the waiter doesn't know where the meat comes from. When serving the guests , He found these from the freezer, thought it was the mutton rolls that were not sold yesterday, and served them to the guests. There are still some meat rolls that were not given to the guests in these bags."

"Send those bags back to the bureau and ask the technical department to check the fingerprints." Mu Xue said, glanced at the others again, and sighed, "Do you still think that the murderer is someone from this store?"

Mu Xue believes that the skeleton appeared at Wang Gang's door, and then the human meat roll appeared in his hot pot restaurant, there must be some kind of connection between the two.If it is said that the matter of the skeleton is Wang Gang's call to catch the thief to divert the police's attention, but the human flesh roll is completely unjustifiable with this argument, which is simply drawing fire.

Especially after the DNA test results came out, Mu Xue's judgment was further corroborated. The Public Security Bureau of L City immediately carried out DNA extraction and identification on the human flesh, which confirmed that the flesh was stripped from the skeleton.

However, this does not completely rule out Wang Gang's suspicion. The L city police still controlled him and related people in the store.In addition to the fingerprints of the waiter, the fingerprints of the victim Wang Yan were also found on those plastic bags, which made it even more difficult for the L city police to understand.

Could it be that the victim put the bag of human meat rolls in the store after being murdered?This is obviously impossible.

The next thing Team Z has to do is to find out the murderer's modus operandi and hidden motives through the skeleton and the remaining human flesh rolls.However, facing thousands of human meat rolls, Qin Ling felt helpless for the first time.

"That Liu Ming, what's his origin? He seems to be very familiar with you and Lingzi?" Zheng Yan watched Qin Ling pick up pieces of human meat rolls with tweezers and put them down again. He shook his head helplessly, knowing that she hadn't found anything yet. , but the atmosphere in the dissecting room made him a little out of breath, so he asked the serious Tang Hegong.

"Just like me, we have both been instructed by teachers." To Zheng Yan's surprise, it was Qin Ling who was working hard who answered him, "We are both students of the Criminal Police Academy, but I became a forensic doctor after graduation. , he became a lawyer. Xiaoxue, look, what is this?"

Qin Ling suddenly and carefully picked up a fiber from a piece of meat roll, put it in the evidence bag, and handed it to Mu Xue.

"I can't see it." Mu Xue took the evidence bag, held it up to the light for a closer look, and shook her head, "Could it be pollutants?"

"It's not like." Qin Ling said, "It's stuck in the meat. There's more here." She took out another fiber from another piece of meat roll, "I feel that this has something to do with the murderer's modus operandi, and it's possible It’s something unique to the murder site.”

"I'll send it to the laboratory for trace evidence identification." Mu Xue said, carefully put away the evidence and walked to the dissection room.

"Xiaoxue, you don't have to come back after you send it there." Zheng Yan said suddenly, "You go to the hospital to accompany Dr. Du tonight."

Mu Xue who had already walked to the door was stunned for a moment, without looking back, she said, "I see."

"If you get two women who are incompatible with each other, you won't be afraid of another murder case?" Looking at Mu Xue's back, Tang Hegong shook his head and said.

"Shut up, Old Crow Tang!" Zheng Yan looked at Tang He Gong as if his eyes were about to burst into flames.

But Tang Hegong acted like he didn't realize that Zheng Yan had been irritated at all, and said to himself: "The office looks peaceful, but the two of them have been competing, don't tell me you didn't see it."

"Yes." Qin Ling also chimed in. At this time, she had given up on the inspection of the human meat roll, and handed it over to the forensic doctor in L City to continue searching for trace evidence that might exist. Instead, she turned to study the intact internal organs. Skeleton, "I've never seen Sister Lili working so hard."

As she spoke, the scalpel in her hand was aimed at the victim's stomach and cut down.

With a sound of "poof", the contents of the victim's stomach flowed out, even the well-informed Qin Ling couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

The victim's stomach was full of undigested pieces of meat, some of which were even swallowed whole without chewing.

"This..." Tang He Gong didn't know what to say for a moment.At this moment, the door of the dissecting room was pushed open, and Liu Sheng, the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Detachment of L City, appeared by the door with a pale face.

"Team Leader Tang, you're here again." He swallowed and said.

"What happened again? Please explain clearly." Tang Hegong asked subconsciously, who had not yet recovered from the shock of Wang Yan's stomach contents.

"Human meat rolls, and skeletons." Liu Sheng said.

"Old Crow Tang, I told you not to say a few words!" Zheng Yan closed his eyes involuntarily, with regret on his face.

Half an hour ago, a police station in a certain district of the Public Security Bureau of L City received a report from a sanitation worker.When he was cleaning out a trash can, he found a huge cardboard box that seemed to contain some heavy items. Curiously, he opened the cardboard box, and what he saw was a bloodshot skeleton.Due to artificial movement, the internal organs remaining in this skeleton have been displaced, and even partially damaged. What flows out of the damaged stomach is the same undigested human meat roll as Wang Yan's stomach.

At the same time, another police station also received a report from a pig farmer.This pig farmer has an agreement with several small restaurants, they leave their daily food waste to him, and his pigs are given priority and sold to them at a low price.His work was no different from usual that day. He drove the smelly and greasy tricycle to those restaurants, left the empty trash cans for them, and loaded the buckets full of food waste into the cart. return.

The buckets were as dirty as his car, and he occasionally mischievously passed among the diners, seeing them frowning and covering their noses, which gave him a little excitement.

After returning, he dumped the food waste into the trough, but dozens of black plastic bags that had never been seen caught his attention. One of the broken plastic bags showed a skinless hand.

The relevant information was quickly reported to the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau. Liu Sheng, who was exhausted by the murder of Wang Yan, immediately thought of this as a serial killer in action.

"Let's join the case." Qin Ling simply looked at the meat slices and the skeleton, and said, "Send all these things to the anatomy room, I have to work overnight."

"We will accompany you." Zheng Yan said.

"You?" Qin Ling shook her head. "You have more important things to do. You need to find the source of the corpse and find out the identity of the victim. If I'm not wrong, the murderer didn't do the throwing of the corpse."

"I know, but, you are alone in the dissecting room, or at night..." Zheng Yan was a little embarrassed.

"It's not the first time this kind of thing happened." Qin Ling smiled, "Besides, I'm not alone, and colleagues in L City can't rest today. By the way, I don't think it's difficult to find the source of the corpse. See the trash bins in the pig farm? There are numbers on them, I think, if you find the restaurant with the corresponding number, you will be able to find out who threw away these human meat rolls. Come back and accompany me when you are done."

"Then, all right. Good luck!" Zheng Yan said.

Qin Ling's reminder helped Zheng Yan and Tang Hegong a lot. Following the clues on the trash can, they quickly found the hotel.To their surprise, this restaurant is also a hot pot restaurant. Although the dining time has passed, the restaurant is still full of people, and the waiters are busy almost without touching the ground.

Compared with "Yudu Hot Pot", this restaurant is much better, at least the decoration is more than one level higher.The uniforms of the waiters are uniform, and the staff rules and operating specifications are hung prominently on the wall.

"It seems that the murderer has a soft spot for hotpot restaurants." Tang Hegong said.

"There must be some meaning in it." Zheng Yan said thoughtfully, "Let's find out the identity of the victim this time."

The two walked into the store, and after showing their police officer IDs, they went straight to the store owner.

"When you woke up in the morning, you saw the skeleton at the door of your house. The skeleton was in a kneeling position, facing the door of your house. Afraid of getting into trouble, you threw the skeleton into a trash can near your house. Then you come to the store, when you check the stock ingredients, you find something extra, it is a few bags of human meat, you throw them into the trash can, thinking that after being eaten by those pigs, you can Unknowingly, he put aside his relationship with this matter, didn't he?" Zheng Yan said without making any foreshadowing.

This sudden stimulation made the store owner startled, and then suddenly knelt down in front of Zheng Yan.

Zheng Yan and Tang Hegong looked at each other, knowing that their deduction was correct.The murderer has strict procedures and almost harsh requirements on this matter, and will not make any changes easily.

This is a trait of almost every serial killer.

"I admit that I did all these things. But I didn't kill people." The shop owner said with tears, "Officer, I really didn't kill people. I don't even know who died."

"You just don't want to get into trouble." Zheng Yan sighed and asked, "Do you have a son?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then nodded, with resentment showing on his face, "But I have nothing to do with him, since the day he killed his mother, I don't recognize him as a son."

"Tell me, what's going on?" Tang Hegong asked.

For the next ten minutes, the shopkeeper told a tragic story.

He originally had a happy and harmonious family with a beautiful wife and a sensible son.Although the family is not rich, it can also be called a well-off family.

All the changes happened after the son went to college.

This child, who grew up under his father's strict education, went to college like a bird out of the cage, far away from home, without the restraint of his parents, he flew freely in the vast world.However, he didn't dodge some things that he should try his best to avoid, but threw himself on them recklessly.

Accidentally, he came into contact with drugs and has been out of control ever since.

Drugs have changed his temperament drastically. He is no longer the obedient and sensible child, but an addict who cannot do without drugs all the time.He likes the beauty in that fantasy, and he steals and snatches it just for the momentary pleasure.For him, the only fear hidden in his heart may be the law, and the only objects he steals and robs are his parents.

As everyone knows, drug use is also a crime.

His mother was seriously ill because of him, but at this moment, he stole his mother's life-saving money, and finally let his mother die.

"You say, why should I admit to such a son?" the owner said, "I sued the court a few years ago and terminated the father-son relationship with him, but he still harassed me from time to time, just in the past six months, I just calm down."

"I don't know whether you should be happy or sad." Zheng Yan said, "The bones and meat rolls you disposed of with your own hands may be your son."

You get out of trouble, but from now on, you too will be old and out of control.Zheng Yan kept this sentence in his heart and did not say it out of his mouth.
