Chapter 57 Unprecedented joy.
Lin Meiqi inspected the scene, and the more she inspected, the more her brows furrowed.
Feng Charlie built a fence around the body to keep the onlookers out.
A dropped knife was found nearby, but because the knife was used against the dog's coat, no fingerprints were left.
The knife was stained with the victim's blood and was now lying in a pool of blood.
Feng Charlie threw the props into the evidence bag, and seeing that Lin Meiqi had a strange expression, he walked over to ask what was going on.
Lin Meiqi replied: "This person is so perverted that he deliberately cut open several major arteries. Either he is unhappy with his life and is venting his anger, or he has a fetish for blood."
"Bloodthirsty?" Feng Charlie was confused.
"Yes, most people would not kill someone in this way. It would splatter all over the body, and the scene would be very dirty and difficult to clean up. However, since the murderer was wearing a doll costume, there was no blood on his body, and there was no evidence, so it was possible that he committed the crime."
Feng Charlie nodded and looked to the side: "Which surveillance camera was newly installed in the building? I'll go check the surveillance. This place should be able to record the murderer's actions when committing the crime, so we can analyze what happened."
Lin Meiqi continued to examine the body.
After a while, the body was carried away by the police, and several police officers stayed behind to collect evidence and deal with the scene.
The boss of the real estate project fainted from fright just now. He woke up now and grabbed Feng Charlie's hand and burst into tears, completely losing his usual majestic look.
"Sir, this is our opening ceremony! To my surprise, such a bloody incident happened. My building is ruined! Damn it, I must skin the murderer alive if I find him!"
As he was speaking, he fainted again. The staff behind him quickly picked him up and brought him back to the sales center.
Lin Meiqi suddenly thought of something, and she pinched her chin with her fingers, thinking: "Could it be that the murderer didn't come for these two victims, but for these two locations? The game hall business is very good, and this building has just opened, so it must be able to make a lot of money by selling the building. With these two murders, the boss won't make any money."
Feng Charlie said, "This possibility does exist. Is there anything else we should pay attention to at the scene?"
Lin Meiqi shook her head.
"Then let's go back to the serious crime unit and check what's going on with the surveillance."
Charlie Feng, Meiqi Lin and a group of police officers returned to the serious crime squad and handed over the retrieved surveillance footage to the technical investigators.
While checking the surveillance footage, they soon discovered the murderer, who was dressed as a "big yellow dog" in a stuffed toy costume at the time of the crime.
When the ceremony started, there was a large crowd of people at the entrance. During the ceremony, the door was opened and the guests were invited into the sales center and the central garden inside, so there were fewer people at the entrance.
The vice president was not at that position originally, but later he came to the door after smoking a cigarette because he had a craving for cigarette.
At this time, the "Big Yellow Dog" puppet standing at the door to welcome people saw that there was no one around, so he drew out his knife and killed the man with one blow, steadily, accurately and ruthlessly. Then he cut all the major arteries to let the blood, and when people could react, he quickly fled.
The cameras did not capture any trace of the final location of the escape.
Since the previous case was committed by the same person, it is very likely that he first checked the surveillance area and changed his clothes in the blind spot.
Sure enough, two hours later, a police officer found the big yellow dog puppet's coat in a flower bed about two kilometers away from the location where the surveillance disappeared and brought it back to the serious crime team.
Lin Meiqi has been observing the surveillance footage, while the technical investigators are responsible for replaying it.
Soon, she made a discovery and pointed at the screen and said to Charlie Feng, "Look at this big yellow dog puppet. In its initial posture, it seemed that its target was the staff member next to it, the lady in a dress. But the other party circled around the door and went back. It was the vice president who came to the door and lit a cigarette. At the same time, the direction of the 'big yellow dog' target changed, its body tilted, and its angle also changed. In other words, it shifted its target in an instant. Whoever is closer to it at this time will become its target."
Feng Charlie nodded: "In fact, the murderer's clothes are both an advantage and a disadvantage. It is not easy to be discovered, but it is also relatively bulky. If there are many people around him, it is easy to catch him. Therefore, it is unlikely that he will target a fixed person. If that person is not alone, there is no way to kill him. From this point of view, it is more likely to be a random killing."
Xie Zhiruo gasped when she heard this: "This is too scary! And it's a murder in a public space, everyone is in danger!"
"Yes, so he wants to make this place a crime scene, thereby increasing the possibility of disrupting the sale of the property. But it is not ruled out that even these locations were chosen randomly, just to make some noise. This feels very tricky. If there is no motive, how can we find this person?" Ah Hao wondered.
The case has reached a stalemate.
Everyone stayed in the serious crime squad to discuss the issue for several hours, but still couldn't come to a conclusion.
Now all the evidence cannot point to a definite existence, unless it is the trainee forensic doctor Huo Jianshen who is related to the previous case.
However, the yellow dog's coat in the second case has not been further tested, so it is impossible to confirm whether it is really related to him. If there are still fingerprints left by Huo Jianshen, then he must be arrested.
It’s just the detection process, which takes some time.
Lin Meiqi sent all the fiber traces extracted from the big yellow dog doll into the instrument and waited for the final results.
During the process, she was still very nervous. Her intuition told her that Huo Jianshen was being used in this matter, but why did he hide something in the first place?
Two days later, the results finally came out.
After seeing the comparison results, Lin Meiqi shook her head.
Although he felt that there were many doubts, he still submitted the result to Feng Charlie: "It's Huo Jianshen again."
That's right, although the evidence pointed to him again and he seemed to be the real murderer, the more this happened, the more she felt something was wrong.
Feng Charlie actually became suspicious the moment he saw the result. "In fact, this person could have made the evidence more concealed by wrapping it in a coat and destroyed all traces inside, such as throwing it in a garbage incinerator, etc., making it more difficult for the police to find it or leaving no evidence after finding it. But he didn't do that. He left the two puppet leather cases not far from the crime scene, as if he wanted people to find the traces inside. I don't believe that a murderer who is so cruel that he would bleed the victim would do such a stupid thing, unless he did it on purpose."
Lin Meiqi nodded: "The means of framing are not very clever, but since the evidence cannot be pointed at me, it is also a way to escape."
Lin Meiqi looked at her watch and saw that the forensic class was about to start: "I'm going to the police academy!"
"Okay, you go first, and leave the rest to us."
Lin Meiqi packed her things, went downstairs, and rode her bicycle to the Police Academy.
This was the first time that Lin Meiqi stepped into this classroom after evidence was found against Huo Jianshen.
Now there are more and more elective students and auditors sitting in the audience, but Lin Meiqi can't be happy at all. Her own student has become the object of suspicion. She feels that the student has been framed, but she has no way to clear him.
Everyone was there, and Lin Meiqi took a quick look and found that the classroom was almost full.
She quickly began the lesson: "Today I will explain to you the case that I dissected before."
The picture was bloody and blurry, and the students with less endurance lowered their heads, but as usual, her student Ran Tian always stared at it seriously and took notes without missing a single one.
Lin Meiqi glanced around and saw Ran Tian's pink notebook, then she was stunned for a moment.
Her notebook was filled with notes about forensic medicine, which Lin Meiqi had seen countless times in class. But this time her notebook was different from usual, with some colorful sticky notes in the middle.
Open it and it’s colorful.
Lin Meiqi's first reaction was not that Ran Tian had developed a different habit, but that her notebook must have been lent to someone else and had been marked by someone else.
Where have you seen it before? Why do I always feel that another person’s habits are so familiar?
The next second, Lin Meiqi suddenly realized.
I have seen these colorful stickers at Huo Jianshen’s house. His notebook is covered with them. This is Huo Jianshen’s habit!
He must have borrowed Ran Tian's notebook to take notes, which means they have been getting closer recently?
Lin Meiqi's brain suddenly buzzed, and she seemed to know why Huo Jianshen was hiding something from her.
After class, it was already very late, but Ran Tian still went to Lin Meiqi with questions to ask about what was taught in class.
Everything was going on as usual, but Lin Meiqi suddenly changed the subject and mentioned Huo Jianshen: "Xiao Tian, are you and Huo Jianshen getting along better recently?"
Ran Tian was stunned, smiled awkwardly, and shook his head: "No."
She realized where Lin Meiqi found the traces, and couldn't help but sigh at her meticulousness, explaining, "Huo Jianshen seems to be paying special attention to forensic autopsy recently, but he didn't take many notes in class, so he asked me for a notebook. These sticky notes are what he left behind. I think the colorful ones look pretty, so I didn't remove them."
Lin Meiqi thought for a moment, "Is that so? I misunderstood."
As they were talking, she always felt that something was a little awkward, but perhaps she needed to ask Huo Jianshen himself to find out.
Lin Meiqi returned the notebook to Ran Tian: "It's getting late, let's go home quickly!"
Ran Tian nodded, put the notebook into her bag, and walked towards the other side of the corridor.
Lin Meiqi left the school, found the location of the bicycle, got on the bicycle and went to No. 1 Ningyuan, Kowloon Walled City.
She had just ridden halfway, around a path she always passed by, when a man suddenly appeared and reached out to pick up something that had fallen on the ground. She almost couldn't brake, and she had to put her feet on the ground to avoid hitting the man.
"Wait, why are you here? Isn't your home on another street?" Lin Meiqi asked puzzledly as she looked at Ran Tian who stood up in front of her.
"That was where I rented, and the rent was too expensive, so I moved."
“That’s how it is!”
"Yes, teacher. Hey, why is Huo Jianshen here too?" Ran Tian suddenly spoke.
When Lin Meiqi heard Huo Jianshen's name, she was shocked. She had been thinking about Huo Jianshen all day, so she looked back.
At this moment, Ran Tian quickly stepped forward and covered Lin Meiqi's mouth with a piece of gauze...
This is, □□!
But it was too late, and the next second Lin Meiqi's body went limp.
There are no surveillance cameras in this place, and this is the route Lin Meiqi usually takes. It would be easy for her to succeed here and complete her plan.
Ran Tian's lips curled up into a slight smile.
It was too late, and there were only a few shops on this street. The ones that remained were about to be demolished and had not been open for more than two months, so there was no possibility of eyewitnesses.
Ran Tian quickly put on a hat and a mask to cover her face, then dragged the unconscious Lin Meiqi into a car nearby.
Lin Meiqi fell sideways in the car and couldn't wake up for a while.
The car drove towards an abandoned house in the suburbs.
Ran Tian's heart was beating fast.
Originally, before knocking Lin Meiqi unconscious, she wanted to have some fun, such as bleeding her and having more people come. After all, those blood-stained bodies were like a work of art, which made her heart palpitate.
It has been a long time since I had such a feeling. Ran Tian once thought that he was numb and like a walking corpse with no feelings to the outside world.
It was Lin Meiqi who brought her a whole new world.
It was a world made of blood. When a person became a specimen or a corpse, the feeling of being controlled by her was like regaining the lost sense of security.
And all this is thanks to the profession of forensic medicine.
If I hadn't taken this course, how would a new world have opened the door to me?
Ran Tian’s ultimate target is Lin Meiqi. She originally didn’t want to take action so early, but she seemed to have discovered some clues and asked about her and Huo Jianshen. She must not be allowed to survive today.
The vehicle moved forward in the darkness like a ghost, but Ran Tian felt unprecedented joy in his heart.
