When Shen Ting first started working on the missing girl case, he tried to profile the suspect.
For serial cases, autopsy can quickly summarize the murderer's modus operandi.
Based on these characteristics, analyze the suspect's psychology, growth experience, personal habits, etc.
However, the method of death, characteristics of the victim, etc. were not clear at the time, making it almost impossible to conduct an autopsy.
Therefore, Shen Ting formulated an investigation strategy——
Conduct crime geography profiling on the only location involved in the case and try to determine where the body was dumped.
As long as we find the place where the body was dumped, or a similar place involved in the crime, there will be a chance to confirm the cause of death of the victim, the victim's core characteristics, etc.
At that time, it will be much easier to conduct criminal profiling of the suspect.
The whole process went quite smoothly.
It basically develops in the direction of Shen Ting's plan.
but!
The last and most critical step, crime profiling, still had problems.
"The murderer this time seems to be a little special."
Shen Ting frowned slightly because the dissection was not going smoothly.
"The first basis for the autopsy is the method of death. There's nothing particularly special about it."
The method of death is usually closely related to the suspect's deep psychology.
For example, if someone chooses to kill with a hammer, the murderer is likely to have a violent personality.
Choosing to strangle, especially by hand, means that the murderer’s life is likely to be out of control, and therefore he or she is seeking a sense of control.
But in this case, the victim's cause of death is not directly related to the murderer.
The murderer was only interested in their limbs.
If the murderer could avoid killing them and obtain their limbs quietly, he would most likely not kidnap and kill them.
“At present, it is certain that the murderer has no regard for life.
It is certain that he is extremely obsessed with Teacher Xiao Gao, to the point of being unable to extricate himself."
"As for the second type of autopsy evidence, the core characteristics of the victim are naturally the parts of his body that bear a high resemblance to Gao Ya."
This is different from the common serial cases.
In serial murder cases, the common characteristics of the victims are beautiful hands, or a special smell, a special temperament, etc.
These are the special characteristics that the victim possesses that attract the suspect.
The similarity between the victims this time is that they look like someone.
It's more likely that the murderer was attracted to elegance than to the victim.
"According to the criminal's more normal thinking, he is obsessed with elegance and should seek out and control elegance.
Even if he couldn't find her, the target he would choose should be someone with a similar appearance and physique to Gao Ya.
But the murderer did not choose that..."
Shen Ting pondered for a moment:
"The murderer's attitude towards Gao Ya should be more of admiration than admiration."
Admiration, the relationship between the two is basically equal.
And admiration means that the suspect looks up to elegance.
And it’s not about looking up to each other between men and women.
It is more like a believer looking up to the god in his heart.
In his heart, elegance cannot be desecrated.
He himself cannot blaspheme!
Other women are completely incomparable to Gaoya.
Therefore, he did not kidnap anyone who looked and acted similar to him in appearance, body shape, and overall appearance.
Because they don't deserve it!
But he had no place to express the admiration in his heart.
He was eager to see the goddess in his heart.
If you can't see it, you can only settle for the next best thing.
By piecing together other people's limbs, he created a goddess for himself and met her.
“The suspect must still have some low self-esteem.
However, his inferiority complex is caused by his own special experience.
Or is it just that he feels inferior in front of Gaoya? It’s hard to say.”
"In short, this suspect is a bit sick!"
“How did the suspect and Gao Ya know each other?
Why does he have this morbid admiration?"
Shen Ting was a little curious.
"As for the third piece of evidence for the autopsy, the special locations involved in the case, the most special one is naturally the cliff cave.
The murderer is most likely a local of Baole City.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to find the cliff cave."
“The layout of the cliff cave is quite complicated.
The main body is three flesh and blood statues.
Sculpting the face of the Black Lotus Cult god into an elegant appearance naturally shows that the murderer regards Gao Ya as a god.
However, as discussed by group members before.
Using the body to piece together a goal is an expression of one's deep psychology.
The collective construction of flesh and blood statues is an expression of social and collective spiritual direction.
These two factors rarely coexist in previous series of cases.”
The group members said that the suspect was schizophrenic or that there were two main culprits, but Shen Ting did not think so.
Because these two expressions are not separated to the point of being irreconcilable.
What unites them is their admiration for elegance.
"Maybe it's just that the suspect this time is special?"
"Combining the three pieces of evidence, elegance is extremely important to the suspect.
It even outweighs the suspect's own ego.
This results in the suspect's behavior almost revolving around elegance rather than around himself.
Therefore, the conclusion of the dissection also revolves around elegance.
The suspect's own characteristics are rather few and far between."
