Chapter 139

"The victim was a lawyer, 35 years old. According to the forensic judgment, the time of death was around 1 p.m. the day before yesterday. At present, the body has been handed over to the family."

"Cause of death?"

"Thirteen stab wounds were found, but the coroner gave the result of bleeding to death."

"Did the weapon stay at the scene?"

"No

"During the time of the crime, has anyone nearby heard the victim's cry for help?"

"Neither."

Nothing.

In addition to the bloodstains that have not yet been cleaned up, there are only some small objects that are barely regarded as evidence and knocked down.

"Send me all the photos of the body." He said.

"I know what you mean. There are some tearing marks on the body's mouth. The victim's mouth was sealed with tape." Wei Boan sent Lu Wen some photos.

As he said.

Although the tape and other tools are missing, they can still be seen.

They're sealed.

It could explain why there was no call for help.

"There are strangulation marks on the wrist and neck. The victim was tied up before he died and could not resist, so there were no signs of large-scale chaos at the scene Thirteen stab wounds, but none of them were fatal. The murderer hoped that the victim would suffer severe pain before he died. This may be a vendetta. "

"It's not that simple. The lawyer has no apparent enemy."

He leaned against the balcony outside and spoke slowly.

They have made a visit and investigation in the past two days.

"The victim seems to be an honest lawyer, but after our investigation, we found that he secretly had some other transactions."

"What?"

"I'll tell you a few charges, please_ Crime of bribery, crime of obstructing to testify, crime of providing false proof, crime of helping to destroy or forge evidence Do you understand? "

"I see."

It turned out to be a money collector.

Lu then looked in two bedrooms.

Nothing.

He went back to the living room.

Wei Boan is still on the balcony outside the living room, enjoying a pot of orchids.

"Have you detected fingerprints, footprints, body fluids, stains, hair, even a little dander?" Lu didn't have much hope.

There's a very special case in District 13.

The killer's ability to deal with traces is quite strong, and he can also forge scenes.

At first, the executives were helpless, but in the end, a little dander became the key to solving the case.

But now that he's here, the case is not that simple.

"No, nothing about the murderer was found."

Sure enough, there was nothing.

"If I'm right, the surveillance around here was broken on the day of the crime?"

"No, to be exact, the surveillance around here has been broken for several years."

"Never fixed it?"

"This is an old-fashioned community. When the street lights are broken, they have to wait a month or two to replace them. The property depends on self-consciousness, let alone monitoring."

The camera is damaged and the property is not acting.

According to the regulations, residents of the community can complain to the relevant departments.

But maybe it's relatively stable in recent years, no one uses the camera, so it's ignored.

"Valuables are at home, there is no sign of rummage, the murderer is not for money."

This kind of scene will make inexperienced executives helpless in the short term.

We have to continue to investigate.

"After his death, to whom should all the property belong?"

"His parents."

"There's nothing wrong. It can't be his parents..."

Usually, it's hate killing, love killing and interest related. It's the easiest to start from these points.

At least a motive!

Even if these are not.

With today's technology, as long as the killer can leave any trace, he will be able to strip away the cocoon and close the big net step by step.

But

Many cases can't be solved.

"Since he's a lawyer and has made secret transactions, we should start with the cases he has dealt with before, especially those cases he has confused. This can be regarded as a breakthrough."

"I've thought of that for a long time. The relevant personnel in those cases all have alibi."

"Are you sure it's a real absence?"

"Sure."

There is no motive.

Those who are most likely to do it have alibi.

There's no clue.

The visit and investigation also yielded nothing.

"No wonder you thought it was a murder without motive."

Lu Wen also came to the balcony and leaned aside.

It is generally acknowledged that the most difficult case to crack is the case of murder without motive.This kind of case.

There is no direct link between the killer and the victim.

If it's a serial case, there's no potential connection between all the victims.

"Yes, but the killer left us a clue."

"What?"

"This pot of orchids." Wei Boan pointed to the plate of orchids on the windowsill. "The people living next door said that the victim had never raised orchids. This plate of orchids suddenly appeared the day before yesterday, and it didn't appear in the morning."

"Is this orchid left by the murderer?" Lu Wen walked in a little bit and observed it carefully. "Have you found out its source?"

"No, we have investigated all the flower and bird markets around here. Everyone is very tired these two days, but the stall owners say it's not theirs."

"It could be online shopping."

"Online shopping will not be too far. We've looked for flower and bird markets in several nearby regions. Some stall owners said that this pot of orchids has no ornamental value, and the appearance has not been repaired."

"Wild orchids?"

Maugham is too big.

Cities with hundreds of millions of people.

Suburban villages and towns and the like stretch far away.

Wild orchids can be found anywhere.

"What does a pot of orchids mean?"

Lu Wen thought about the death of the victim.

Thirteen.

The number thirteen has a special meaning in some places.

"Is it Zong_ Why

There is no record of this in Lu Wen's mind.

"In the history of Mowu, is there any church with orchid as totem or symbol?"

"Orchids are regarded by many Buddhists as Zen flowers."

"I mean The more extreme one. "

"No

Lu Wen looked at the orchid again and remembered the appearance of the potted flower.

The killer left this orchid to show them the clue.

The man was not worried about being found.

And there's a good chance he'll go on.

Confidence.

Pride.

Sophisticated.

Lu Wen's eyes seemed to slowly present a vague image of the murderer.

He looked through all the rooms again.

There's nothing special about two bedrooms.

Still nothing.

Finally.

He stayed in his study.

Most of the books on the shelves are related to the law.

Lu Wen's eyes swept over every book.

A lot of books.

Heavy, light, old, new.

In the end, his eyes stay on a poetry collection.

"The poetry of Pushkin."

"A Book of poetry is mixed with countless books of law knowledge, not the miscellaneous books on the other side The victim is obsessive-compulsive and he won't allow it to happen. "

For OCD patients.

A red bean is suddenly found in a pile of green beans. They will not hesitate to remove the red bean.

"Is this book of poems left by the murderer?"

……

Good night, fellow readers!
