Chen Guangyao and Xu Junhao made some space for Yi Jiayi to look out and see the hands of the corpse.
A small bottle with a trademark on it.
Jiayi had visited many stores selling rat poison before and had seen rat poison of various brands and strengths. She had an impression of this kind, which was the kind that caused death by anticoagulation - the same kind that wild cats, pet dogs and strays took.
Jiayi swallowed dryly and stared at the medicine bottle in a daze, her mind working rapidly.
Xu Junhao, Chen Guangyao and others were still looking at her, waiting for an answer.
"Ah Wei gave me a photo of the body of Liang Xiaofu, a homeless man, when he was first found. In the photo, there was a stone next to the body and a piece of dry dirt on the palm of the body, which was similar to the dirt on the stone
. "When Sir Xu examined the body, he did not suspect anything because the homeless man was covered in dirt. But after a while, I looked at the photo again and again, and I always felt that the stone was probably originally held in the victim's palm, and for some reason the stone rolled to the ground. But the dirt on the stone still remained in the victim's palm... This is just my guess. "
Because she had read the materials about these cases too many times, the homeless man had thrown stones at people, which was the biggest conflict he had with others.
They had also used this as a clue to look for the person injured by the stone, but they did not find anything suspicious.
But these elements kept playing in her mind during the days when the case was difficult to move forward. Because she wanted to find important clues from these contents so much, she had chewed them up completely.
It was also during those days when she had random thoughts that she also listened to Some people discussed: That homeless man always threw stones at people before, so he must have been punished.
Stones, stones, stones!
A thought came up, and it often came to my mind in the past period of time:
Could the murderer's motive be a punishment? If it was a punishment, then was the stone that appeared next to the victim's hand just there by chance, or did the murderer deliberately put it there, or put it in the victim's palm, to convey to the world that [he was judged for this] such a message?
"..."Xu Junhao remembered the stone. He had checked the stone next to the body and found no blood on it, so he handed it to Chen Guangyao to check for fingerprints and other information.
"..."Chen Guangyao also remembered that Xu Junhao handed the stone to him. He checked and confirmed that there were no fingerprints or blood, only dirt and grass clippings. He even threw the stone away without taking it back to the laboratory.
Could it be an important clue?
The two experts were speechless for a moment. This was really beyond their cognition and knowledge!
"It was just a fantasy, but now... the murderer's motive, or to be more precise, the motive he wanted to show us, has already appeared. "Jiayi turned to look at Fang Zhenyue.
"The murderer is creating a self-righteous Batman, privately judging animals and people who cannot be judged by the law." Fang Zhenyue said what Yi Jiayi had not finished saying.
"The previous poisoning of cats, dogs and strays may have been just to test the efficacy of rat poison and...test the police's reaction. "Jia Yi stood at the corpse dumping scene, immersed in high-intensity reasoning in the noisy environment around her.
"Test the police's reaction..." Fang Zhenyue chewed on her words, recalling the three previous cases that were not too long or too short. He realized that when the police were handling the case, the murderer was standing not far away and secretly observing, so he felt uneasy.
He turned his head and looked at the crowd of onlookers, his eyes swept over the faces of those who were holding cameras like media people, and also swept over the faces of citizens and neighbors who seemed to be watching the excitement... The real murderer might be lurking among them, pretending to be a herbivore, openly examining the police and admiring his own achievements.
"This murderer is different from other serial killers. Before he committed this crime, he may have committed more than three cases. He kept trying and learning, actively and systematically accumulating experience, and consciously cultivating his own growth."
Jiayi opened her mouth, her mind was a little confused and she was quiet for a while before she continued reluctantly:
"Brother Yue, maybe, killing cats, dogs, and homeless people, and killing this man, may be just one case for the murderer."
"Or, everything is just for this case." Fang Zhenyue took a deep breath, and his expression became as cold as Yi Jiayi's.
"This murderer..." Jiayi pursed her lips. This murderer was more complicated than any other murderer she had encountered before. As she gradually drew a picture of the other party, she had a new doubt: Is this beast a serial killer?
If these cases were all part of a complete plan, then the target murderer had already been killed. Did the murderer put the bottle of rat poison that had previously poisoned cats, dogs and homeless people in the hands of this corpse to convey his intentions ? What does a full stop mean? Starts with poison and ends with a medicine bottle?
Jiayi swallowed dryly. This is also the first person who left something behind after killing someone to communicate with the police in an alternative way to convey information (belief). People
with a strong desire to express themselves.
Such people often have a strong sense of self, and sometimes also represent strong action.
And the desire to be seen and recognized...
Then... there is another possibility, what if there is no Is it over?
Or maybe the case is over, but he has tasted the sweetness and realized that the police are not really omnipotent. Today's detective technology still has many drawbacks. Would a person who wants to play "Batman" and shape himself into a hero be willing to stop?
Her thoughts have already flown to a faraway direction. She suddenly turned around, walked around Fang Zhenyue and walked towards Sanfu and Liang Shule.
Ah Le asked the neighbors one by one very honestly . , looking clumsy, but with a special charm.
The citizens did not laugh at his rigidity, but instead sensed a kind of serious persistence in his behavior, "not giving up even a little clue", so they developed some seriousness and respect for him, and answered questions with a serious attitude, trying to explain in an organized manner.
Sanfu saw Yi Jiayi coming over, so he turned around and went to her first, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "How is it?"
"Mystery within mystery." Jiayi frowned and replied casually, and then asked directly: "Have you found out the identity of the victim?"
"We found out, and he's a celebrity. The neighbors recognized him just by looking at the suit and hairstyle he was wearing. "Sanfu and Jiayi walked to a place with fewer people before continuing:
"I have asked several people to confirm that the deceased's name is Miao Liqun. He works in a financial company to help wealthy people with investment and financial management. It is said that most of the people he deals with are wealthy ladies, but this has yet to be confirmed.
"The reason why he is so famous is that he was involved in a big case last year. It seemed that Team A was handling that case at the time. Miao Liqun originally had a wealthy wife. He went to the police station to report his disappearance in January last year. Two months later, part of the body was found on the beach. Although Miao Liqun cried painfully, Sir You and his team still suspected him of being the murderer at the first time.
"I remember Sir You said at that time that in the current case, if the wife is dead, the murderer is most likely the husband, and if the husband is dead, the murderer is most likely the wife. It is so easy to solve the case.
"But later the case took a bad turn. Sir You was so angry that half of his face was swollen. The police were sure that Miao Liqun was definitely the murderer, or at least one of the murderers. But halfway through, a Cheng Yaojin appeared. A girl turned herself in to the police and said that she had killed Miao Liqun's wife. The motive for the crime was that she fell in love with Miao Liqun and was jealous of Miao Liqun's wife. She wanted to replace her, so she killed him.
"The girl who surrendered herself was only 19 years old. She came from Tin Shui Wai to Yau Ma Tei to work as a waitress. Later, she met Miao Liqun and developed an improper relationship with her.
"It is said that she was not Miao Liqun's only girlfriend. Most of his lovers were older wealthy women, but this girl should be the youngest and the least experienced.
"Although the police believed that she was committing a crime of love, she described the murder process in great detail, the murder weapon, etc., and the motive for the crime was also established. In addition, Miao Liqun was very evasive. In the end, the court only convicted the girl of intentional homicide, but because she was very young and pregnant at the time, the court did not impose a heavy sentence.
"Miao Liqun was acquitted in court. ”
“…” Jiayi frowned, and the word "judgment" immediately popped up in her mind. She had just wondered why the murderer killed the man in a suit. Now it was not only clear, but also verified her guess.
"Although he was released, even the family of the deceased believed that Miao Liqun was the murderer. They would smash his car windows or splash paint on his door to vent their anger. Later, Miao Liqun simply sold his car and often stayed out all night. Although he had some troubles, he still got most of his deceased wife's inheritance, and the brand names on his body seemed to be getting more and more expensive. "Sanfu crossed his arms and looked at the corpse with a complicated look.
Liang Shule happened to ask a loud-voiced grandma, who shook her head and sighed, "Oh, everyone has always said that God is blind, but now it's good, she deserves it! Mrs. Miao was such a good person, but she was dismembered and killed, so tragic..."
Jiayi immediately clenched her hands, turned to Tan Sanfu and said,
"Brother Sanfu, go back to the police station immediately and work with Sir You to retrieve the case file of Mrs. Miao Liqun's murder. Later, we will go to the prison to see the girl who turned herself in and confessed. "
OK." Tan Sanfu nodded, turned around and said a few words to Liang Shule, then walked away in the opposite direction.
Jiayi stood for a while, and Liu Jiaming came over to report to her:
"The old man who is the watchman in the building where Miao Liqun lives has been on leave due to diarrhea these days, so no one was on duty last night. The owner of the mobile stall went out very early. This area is the innermost part of the building, and people from other buildings did not pass by. The body was placed at the corner of the building, and the owner of the mobile stall only saw it when he got his stall from the back.
"Because there is a small path, many people can come in from the back, pass through the community, and go directly to the commercial street. There are many people coming and going besides the residents, so it is difficult to monitor unfamiliar faces."
Jiayi nodded and said to Liu Jiaming: "You go and find out the name and address of Miao Liqun's company, and go visit with Gary to ask Miao Liqun if he has encountered anything special recently, and find out if he has any enemies or competitors inside or outside the company.
"Also find out if any of his lovers have any disputes with him;
"Also check Miao Liqun's financial situation."
"Understood, Eleventh Sister." Liu Jiaming nodded, called Gary, and left the scene and took action.
After dispatching three people, Jiayi returned to the scene of the body dumping and heard Chen Guangyao's judgment: "This is not the first murder scene. The murderer brought the person here to 'display' him after killing him."
Jiayi immediately turned to look at the building where Miao Liqun lived, and then looked at Fang Zhenyue.
"Let's go and inspect Miao Liqun's home." Fang Zhenyue decided immediately.
"But we haven't applied for a search warrant yet." Jiayi was a little hesitant.
"I'll make up for it when I get back." Fang Zhenyue said nonchalantly, and then walked towards Miao Liqun's home with his head held high, as if he was going to do something particularly remarkable.
Proud and complacent.
A few minutes later, Brother Yue stood at the door of Miao Liqun's house, took out the ear pick hanging on the key and the sharpened nail clipper, and poked at Miao Liqun's door.
"..."
"..."
Jiayi and Chen Guangyao stood behind Fang Zhenyue, looking at each other awkwardly.
It was rare that in this situation, Brother Yue didn't feel embarrassed at all, and was so calm as if he was not prying into other people's houses. His leisurely look was as if he was really doing something worthy of his pride...
Chen Guangyao looked at him in surprise and couldn't help thinking: You are worthy of it, Mr. Fang, you have understood life and don't care about anything, right?
