Outside the farmhouse!
Shao Ming and others were all shocked after hearing Liu Huiming's warning.
It goes without saying that the plan of a serial killer is definitely not a good thing!
More importantly, this judgment is not something that an ordinary police officer can make casually.
But it comes from a criminal profiler!
There is a saying in the criminal investigation community:
In some cases, a good criminal profiler may know the criminals better than they know themselves.
They even have the opportunity to predict the behavior of criminals.
"What Teacher Liu said should be right."
"I also feel a sense of urgency about this case!"
"I also feel that this is taking too long. We need to speed up the investigation!"
After discovering that the person living in the farmhouse was most likely the leatherworker, the police officers relaxed a little.
At this moment, their expressions became serious.
at the same time!
Everyone is also more curious.
As a criminal profiler, Liu Huiming analyzed the criminals' behavior and came to the conclusion:
The criminal had an urgent matter to do, and knowing that the police would find the farmhouse, he set up a trap.
Therefore, there is a high probability that I will not come back here.
But how did Chen Ting determine that the shadow puppeteer would not return to the farmhouse?
Noticing everyone's gazes, Shen Ting directly took out the Leatherworker's last notebook for 2024 and showed everyone the last page.
The police officers all came over:
"Hey, is this the shadow puppet artist's notebook?"
"bring it on?
Come to see me? Come to appreciate? Come to witness?
What's the meaning? "
"This is addressed to us, asking us to go find him?"
“It was written in the notes, and the recipient was not specified.
We can’t say it’s written just for us, right?
Isn’t it said that the thoughts of a serial killer cannot be understood by ordinary people?
Maybe just writing something casually?"
The last question was raised by Xiong Beibei.
Shen Ting shook his head directly:
"If it's just this sentence in the notebook, and I just randomly flipped to it, I can't guarantee that it was written to the police.
However, I didn't come across this sentence by chance.
Everyone still remembers the codes engraved on the inner layers of the leather goods sold by leatherworkers, right?
coding?
The police officers were stunned for a moment before they realized what Shen Ting was saying, and then their eyes widened.
"Of course I remember those letters and numbers."
"We tried to crack it, but failed."
"Isn't it that the code might be a Leatherworker's trick to confuse the police? Maybe it's meaningless?"
“No way?
Shen Ting, you didn't decipher those codes, did you? "
…
Shen Ting nodded slightly and said with a smile:
“It’s actually quite simple to say.
The letters in the code represent the lunar year, month and day.
The number is the number of the word on a certain page and line of a certain book.
Although I had this guess before, I have never been able to confirm which book corresponds to the number.
Until I came to this farmhouse and found the study.
After comparison, we found that the numbers in the code corresponded to the notes of the shadow puppet artist."
Shen Ting asked the police to move all the notes out.
In front of a group of police officers, he turned each notebook over to the corresponding coded position.
The officers were initially surprised, but that soon turned to shock.
"I!"
"like!!"
"you!!!"
As Shen Ting pointed out the corresponding text, the police officers subconsciously followed and read it.
The voice became increasingly high-pitched, and one could hear the obvious excitement.
“Although there are many codes, there are actually only three corresponding words.
In addition to these three words, there are several complete sentences.
For example, 'I'm so desperate, I'm in love with a dead person'.
And there is also the saying, 'The greatest misfortune is not that no one loves you, but that no one can accept your love'!
They are all content related to love and romance.
The leather product code found at the end corresponds to the last words left by the murderer in the last notebook.
The police officers all understood.
Since it is found through coding, then this sentence "Come! Come to find me, come to appreciate, come to witness!"
Nature is left intentionally.
As for who to leave it to?
Who else but the police could collect so many human skin products and analyze the codes in them?
Therefore, it is naturally left to the Public Security Bureau.
“I understand what Shen Ting means.”
Xu Xinyi suddenly said, "Since the murderer left this note and this sentence in the study of the farmhouse.
Of course it's impossible to come back here.
On the contrary, judging by the notes, the leatherworker wants us to find him?"
Yang Changlong said excitedly:
"Deciphering this code actually has a more crucial meaning—
Finally, there is evidence to prove that this shadow puppet artist is the leather maker.
There are many connections between the two.
But strictly speaking, we can only draw an approximate equal sign, but cannot draw an equal sign.
And the deciphering of the code, this equal sign, can finally be drawn."
The police officers nodded repeatedly.
Previously, the discovery of Su Kexin’s skinned body in the wooden house only indicated that there was a high probability that the murderer was the leather maker.
Chen Ting's analysis of trace evidence, as well as the upside-down puppets, paints, etc. in the wooden house, can prove that it was indeed the shadow puppeteer who killed Su Kexin.
But there is still no necessary connection between the shadow puppeteer and the leather maker.
Is it possible that a shadow puppeteer imitated the crime?
Or it is possible that he was not imitating the crime, but as a shadow puppeteer, he simply wanted to use the skins to make shadow puppets.
