Chapter 489

In the office without lights on, Lin Dongxue gently touches the laptop with her fingers and projects a picture on the white screen. In the picture, a girl in a bright red dress is slim, her hands are folded under her umbilicus, and she looks peaceful. She is sprinkled with snow like white powder, especially around her neck. The blood seeps through the white powder on the pile, spreading to the surrounding area, from crimson Gradually change to light red.

"Yan Qilin, the dead, died at about 10:00 p.m. on August 13, 2013. The place of death was an empty demolished house near Shengli Street. There was no monitoring around, and there were not many street lights. The alarm person was a couple of small lovers who broke in accidentally. The dead man was cut through his throat with a knife from the front, then suffocated to death. There were signs of violent struggle on the ground. The dead man was sprinkled with about 500g of edible salt, which is probably a large bag that can be bought in the supermarket. "

Lin Dongxue said while switching photos, let Chen Shi see more details.

Chen Shi tapped the table with his fingers and thought. He said, "the dead look very peaceful!"

"That's supposed to be after the murderer."

"Go on!"

Lin Dongxue switches to the next picture, which is a close-up of the hand of the deceased. "There is a string of letters and numbers on the right hand of the deceased. Judging from the direction and handwriting, it should be written by others, but what's the meaning? No one knows until now."

Chen Shinian said: "hp6527963665 I don't understand. Password breaking is my weakness! Is team two in charge of this case? "

"At the beginning, branch a was checking. Three years ago, it was transferred to the General Administration and Lin team took over."

Chen Shi nodded to continue.

The photos projected on the white screen are changing, and Lin Dongxue continues: "in the second case, Cai Tingting, the dead, died at about 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. on August 2, 2014. The place where she was found is under a road bridge south of Limin Road..." As like as two peas in the

picture, the second dead are almost the same as the first person. They are of the same type, with short ears, short hair, and the same age. They wear a big red dress, hands folded under the navel, and the body is covered with salt. The cause of death is the same.

Chen Shi thinks about why he should cut his throat from the front. This way of killing is not very efficient. The time and place are changing. It must be very difficult for the murderer to completely follow the last way of killing, unless he has a serious obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Or, this kind of death has a very strong and special meaning for TA.

The photo continues to switch. A close-up of the dead man's right arm appears on the white screen, with the same text: "hp6527963665..." As like as two peas as like as two peas mark,

, Chen Lin let Lin Dong Xue fall back. Lin Dong Xue said, "no need to drop it. Letters and numbers are exactly the same. All the homicide cases written after the death are identical to those written on the hands of the dead."

"Who is in charge of the second case?"

"Branch B, because it happened in their jurisdiction."

"So there was no investigation?"

"Yes, until the third case appeared, on August 20, 2015, the General Administration of the people's Republic of China began to attach importance to it. It was only then that it was discovered that the dates of the three cases were all Tanabata!"

"Well A lot of things will happen in a year, and it's no wonder you're not connected. "

"You're not sarcastic, are you?"

"No, why did I satirize you? Think about what we were doing last year."

"Last year We didn't know each other at this time last year! "

"Yes, look how much happened in this year. Go ahead!"

Lin Dongxue then put on a slide show, 15 years, 16 years, 17 years and 18 years, making an inappropriate analogy. The murderer is as dedicated as Santa Claus. On the Chinese Valentine's day, she will kill a young girl in the same way. Their age, height and weight are very close, almost a type.

Lin Dongxue said: "last year, the director said that we should catch the murderer anyway. We started to set up defense everywhere before the seventh day of the seventh lunar calendar, invested a lot of police force, and invited a criminal psychologist. The expert's portrait of the murderer is a man aged 25-35, who has a stable job and family, a clean hobby, maybe one or two childish hobbies. He has been betrayed by his partner. Tanabata is a painful day for him, and his current spouse may be engaged in service work Do you think it's true? "

"Basically, it's reliable. The average age of the dead is about 23 or 24 years old. The murderer chooses this specific object, which shows that he has suffered emotional trauma in this age group. This experience makes his psychological age lower than that of his peers. There is a kind of burial in the way of killing. He always cleans up the dead, which is probably a kind of compensation psychology, He had complex feelings for the person who had hurt him, so it should be an emotional dispute. This person's killing cycle is long and regular, which means that there is no free time at ordinary times. Only on the seventh day of the seventh day, he can come out to kill people, which means that he is free. This expert concludes that his spouse is engaged in the service industry, which is very busy that night. " After a long analysis, Chen Shi held his chin, "just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just a conventional psychological portrait. If these cases are not done by the same person, it doesn't make sense, or the murderer is a woman, although it's unlikely to be possible."

"It's obviously done by one person, isn't it?" Lin Dongxue said.

Chen Shi stared at the photo and said: "the killer didn't want to leave any extra information, but repeated the same murder case. He was copying the same murder case. Take that string of numbers for example. If the murderer really wants to set up a puzzle for the police, he should leave different numbers on different dead people. Let's find out the rules. Is that the normal plot? But this murderer has written the same number like a signature in six years, as if he is laughing at us. If this number is his signature, it is too aesthetic. I can't imagine what criminal pleasure he can get when he writes down the number, or what pleasure he can get when he repeats a case all the time. "

Lin Dongxue guessed: "maybe his character is like this. He goes out to look for prey every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar calendar, and completes a homicide as accurately as he completes the task."

"Yes, a person's character has changed a lot. Such a person is not without him, but since the case has been investigated for so many years, I think you should have investigated everything you can."

"Long live understanding!" Lin Dongxue wryly smiled, "yes, all the things that can be checked have been checked. We have been racking our brains, sleeping and eating. There is no clue at all. Now our second team is suffering from Tanabata phobia. As soon as we arrive at this festival, it's like peeling So I'd like to hear what the great detective Chen has in mind. "

"Well, I want to see the first case."

"Good!"

Lin Dongxue goes to turn on the light and hands a file to Chen Shi. He has a look. The interpersonal relationship of the dead is very simple. There are only three or two people who are often contacted by them. Moreover, the police have ruled out their suspicion
