Chapter 211 Major Breakthrough! [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

Someone died in the church.

No, or rather, someone died in the residential building.

Five dead, five lives in total! The bodies were placed in the living room in all directions, like a few white bugs, but unlike bugs, the bodies that had been dead for a long time had begun to swell.

Just like the clown in the park can make a balloon shaped like a puppy or a giraffe, and when he blows it hard, the body suddenly swells up into a sausage.

Clothes, pants, and underwear were stretched tight even though the dead were skinny patients. They also emitted a bit of corrupt odor, which made people feel like vomiting as soon as they smelled it.

"From the time of death, it was about four or five days ago, earlier than Chen Hong's time."

"Is this the murderer's first time? Is this the first time he has killed so many people?"

"Tsk, so reckless, he just kills without caring about anything, and after killing someone he doesn't even do the most basic scene disguise."

at the same time.

Li Jianye, who rushed to the scene, looked at this scene with a look of astonishment on his face.

Liu Defa, who was standing nearby, wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt nauseous in his stomach.

The effect of corpses on people can only be suppressed when you get used to it, but this was the first time Liu Defa had encountered a case with five people at the scene.

After a while, he calmed down a bit, drank some water and said:

"The family of the missing person did report the case to the police, but the time was too short and the case was reported before the investigation even started."

It takes less than 48 hours from the time a missing person case is filed to the time a criminal case is filed. It is indeed difficult to investigate without surveillance and direct human evidence.

Xu Hao ignored all this.

He glanced around.

Among the five victims, one was the president of a mutual aid association. The photo showed him when he was young and he looked pretty good.

But after getting the disease, he aged twenty years in an instant and became a skeleton.

She was a woman named Liu Zimei, 38 years old. She was lying on the ground, her eyes bulging out due to the internal air pressure, her eyeballs rolled back, and her death was extremely tragic.

The five people died in the same way.

There were obvious rope marks on the neck, just like the first crime scene where the deceased, Chen Hong, was found.

They all died of mechanical asphyxiation, that is, they were strangled by ropes.

Xu Hao observed for a while.

Suddenly he said:

"Where's the murder weapon?"

"Is there any murder weapon missing around?"

Murder weapon?

Most murderers will drop the murder weapon in three places after killing someone.

1. Near the crime scene.

2. Near home.

Third, the crime scene was far away.

Logically speaking, after killing the president of the mutual aid association, the murderer would usually throw away the murder weapon, especially something like a rope.

"At the first and second scenes, the surrounding police officers and patrol officers did not find the murder weapon used by the murderer."

Li Jianye came up and took out the photo of Chen Hong in death costume.

The rough marks and traces of hemp rope are exactly the same.

In other words, "the murderer may not have thrown away the murder weapon."

After Li Jianye finished speaking, he hesitated.

Everyone around was silent for a moment.

Why? Because hemp rope is cheap and everywhere, and it is easier to hide when it is left at the scene than when it is taken away.

This thing is a street product, there won't be any fingerprints on it, and judging from the traces of fighting at the scene, there is no blood either.

Even if the rope was given to the police, they would not be able to find anything.

So, why should we choose this rope?

"The dead walked into the church one by one, and the murderer killed them one by one."

"It took a lot of energy. Judging from the struggle of the last man, it was obvious that he was exhausted."

"That's the downside of ropes. Although they are popular, their shortcomings are obvious."

Xu Hao said as he looked at the arrangement of the five bodies and the traces on the ground.

The main door in the countryside is usually only locked when people go to bed, and normal people will not knock on the door when they come to visit someone.

Instead, just push open the door, walk in the yard and call out. If you can't call out, it doesn't matter, just push open the living room door and walk in.

However, when the deceased opened the door, he was greeted by a hemp rope.

"So. Why not use a knife?"

Suddenly, Xu Huo turned his head.

He looked at the fruit knife on the table.

He looked towards the kitchen again and seemed to see a kitchen knife in it.

"Why didn't he use a knife?"

There is something wrong with the rope.

Taking this kind of thing away will expose you more easily than throwing it away.

If that's the case, why does he still have a rope? Moreover, judging from the traces, the other party used the same rope! What's the significance of this rope? "Tsk, why is the fog getting more and more?"

Li Jianye smacked his lips, his mind a little confused.

What's the point of the rope? They are all street goods, and the deceased may even have them at home. Why can't they throw them away and use other things? Why not use this instead of a knife? Is it because people won't scream when they are suffocated, but they will scream when they are stabbed? Wrong. If the knife is stabbed in the lower back, kidneys, abdomen, etc., people will not scream after being stabbed.

It may seem a bit contrary to common sense.

But you can recall it.

When you stub your fingers or toes, do you hold your breath for a short period of time, tense your abdominal muscles, cover the wound and relieve it in silence, or take a deep breath instead of shouting?

Most of the injuries caused by the knife to the upper body are superficial injuries that can be screamed out, while if the knife pierces the internal organs, it is almost impossible to scream out.

Therefore, "using a knife is not only more labor-saving, but also makes less noise and exposes yourself less likely."

"But in such a clear and immediate interest, I still chose the rope, and the rope was not lost."

"He took it and killed another person."

Liu Defa pondered for a moment.

“Will this rope have any special meaning to him?”

But who would have a special meaning for a rope! ?

What's more, it's a common item like hemp rope.

"Maybe."

Xu Hao did not refute, he also felt that the rope was a little special.

And just when everyone was still thinking about this problem.

Suddenly, a voice woke everyone up.

"Boss, there's something going on here!"

The police officers from Jiangsan City searched very quickly and found something next to the table after a while.

Several people immediately came to their senses and hurried over.

Just see.

A police officer was holding a transparent sealed bag in front of everyone, and there were some bottles and jars in the sealed bag.

Are these "medicines?"

Li Jianye frowned, feeling that the person looked familiar.

Liu Defa reminded: "The deceased Chen Hong also had this medicine at home."

"The murderer also forced the deceased to lay out all these medicines!"

Everyone was silent.

After checking for a while, he went back to the medicine and asked, "How many bottles of medicine are there in total?"

Xu Hao squatted down, holding the bottle cap and looking at it while asking.

The medicine is Western medicine, most likely imported, and there are no Eastern characters on it, only Western characters.

Xu Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "Five bottles in total."

The police officer said after a moment of calming down.

There were five bottles of medicine, some of which had their labels oxidized and turned yellow after being finished, and some of which had not been finished yet.

All in all, there are five bottles of medicine here.

Xu Huo thought for a moment.

"Go to the homes of the other four people to see if they have any more of these drugs."

"If there is, take it to the hospital for identification."

Xu Hao spoke, and no one had any questions.

They may not know all the medicines, but there must be someone in the hospital who knows them.

Then he spoke again.

"Search the rest of the fraternity members."

"Check them now. Are they dead or alive?"

night.

Ten o'clock.

The police mobilized most of the available police forces to search various places in the city.

At the same time, according to Xu Hao's instructions, he checked the members of the mutual aid association.

But. "Bad news."

“There are too many members in the mutual aid society.”

"Moreover, these people are not always treated in one hospital. They change their residential addresses as their illness worsens or improves."

“The police are unable to check all the members of the mutual aid association for the time being.”

At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Jianye opened the door of his office with two bowls of instant noodles in his hands. After saying this, he handed one bowl to Xu Hao.

"Tsk, instant noodles again."

Xu Huo smacked his lips, said something disdainful, then took it and ate it slowly.

"Haha, it's good to have something to eat." Li Jianye said with a smile.

They investigated the case for an entire afternoon but didn't make much progress, but that didn't affect their mood.

He swallowed the instant noodles in his mouth, paused, and then said: "At present, the only thing that can know who was involved in the murderer's incident is this."

"It is likely that only the deceased person knows."

"Well, there are other members who have not been found by the police."

Xu Huo was silent.

The only person who knew the whole story was the president of the mutual aid association, but he is now a dead body. The police searched her mobile phone but found nothing valuable.

As for the other members of the mutual aid society who participated and are still alive, their identities are unknown.

Due to the slow development of the Internet.

In today's mutual aid societies, there is basically not much communication between members.

Most people just use the penguin on their computers to communicate. If the computer is sold, it is estimated that they will not contact each other for ten days or half a month.

This also led to the police's plan to deliberately spread the news of the death of the president and others, so that those who were still alive would feel urgent and take the initiative to find the police. This plan was stillborn.

While Li Jianye was still thinking about where the breakthrough point would be, Xu Huo suddenly spoke:

"Captain Li, how did we find Chen Hong and the church?"

Xu Hao, who was still eating instant noodles, raised his head, frowned, and looked at Li Jianye while eating noodles.

Li Jianye swallowed it, thought for a moment, and said:

"Chen Hong was provided with the information by Lin Bao."

"The mutual aid group is the information provided by the rest of the hospital members."

Xu Hao nodded. "The hospital has surveillance cameras, and the police have also checked the surveillance cameras. Have they found any suspicious people?"

"There were three suspicious persons, but they were all ruled out. The testimony of the mutual aid association members was that in recent days, no one except the police had inquired about the deceased's information."

Li Jianye said.

No one. So here comes the question.

"murderer."

"How did you know the deceased's residential address?"

"And how did he know that the self-built chapel was a prayer day a few days ago?"

Xu Hao suddenly asked back.

Li Jianye was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he put down the fork in his hand.

track?

No, tracking can only obtain some objective information.

It’s like a verbal agreement, and the mutual aid group won’t know about the prayers every two weeks.

Unless the other party has been tracking for several months and has come up with a conclusion! But the question is again.

I want to follow up on several patients, is it possible without going into the hospital?

That's impossible, and the police did not find anyone who closely matched the murderer in the hospital's surveillance.

So, how did the other party know the information without asking or tracking? ?

I even knew that people would be praying one after another, so I ambushed there in advance!

Drugs, ropes, fear. Recalling a series of case information in his mind, Li Jianye now understood a lot.

"The other party was at the first scene, Chen Hong's home, and took the initiative to ask the other party to find the drugs."

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

"We thought before that the person who knows about the medicine is either the doctor or the patient. The logic is different for the former, but if it is the latter."

“Is it possible that the murderer is

"You were once a member of the mutual aid society!?"

A member of the mutual aid society! ?

If the other party is a member of a mutual aid association, then the logic can be completely explained!

"Wait a minute, I'll check again."

After Li Jianye finished speaking, he couldn't wait to go out and conduct another investigation.

Xu Hao didn't force him to stay.

In fact, there is another possibility.

That's the pharmaceutical company! The pharmaceutical company also knows about drugs.

But this is even more ridiculous, even more ridiculous than doctors killing patients with drugs.

Late at night, half past eleven.

Li Jianye returned to the police station.

"Fuck, there are too many people in the mutual aid group, and even more disappear."

Li Jianye is depressed and now feels like he is being tortured to death.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Hao asked happily while sitting in the office.

"The mutual aid group is full of patients, and those who have this disease are very seriously ill."

"Maybe someone died soon after, or someone moved to another place or joined another mutual aid association. There are too many people who disappear throughout the year, and there is no way to track them."

Li Jianye sighed helplessly.

It’s easier to deal with those who died of illness, as the police have internal files to check.

But it is difficult to check for those who have been transferred to other places for treatment. It is estimated that it will take until next year to check them one by one!

“Is there a possibility that it’s caused by patients snatching drugs from each other?”

Suddenly, Li Jianye asked.

Patients snatching medicine from each other? Xu Hao pondered.

Is this possible?

It is possible, and the possibility is not small!

If two people have exactly the same disease, they will most likely take the same medicine.

And if one of them has no money after eating, there are only two options before him.

1. Wait to die.

Second, grab! How many people would wait to die? To be honest, no one wants to die. Those who want to die just lack love.

No one wants to wait for death, but they have no choice.

Then, under the urge of survival, robbery appeared.

Who to rob?

It's possible to rob anyone.

Pharmacies, passers-by’s money, theft. Even another person’s medicine!

You can grab anything, as long as you grab it, you can live a little longer.

It's cruel, but this is the reality. Most of the patients' family members who are forced into a desperate situation will be tempted to commit illegal acts.

But "it wasn't just one person who died."

Xu Hao shook his head.

"Five people died."

"If the death was caused by a fight over medicine,

"Five people trying to steal one person's medicine?"

"That's the opposite, how long can five people take the medicine for one person?"

"Each of them took a bite? And then they offended each other to death, and even paid the price with their lives?"

“That doesn’t make sense.”

Indeed, Xu Hao mentioned the equivalence balance before.

When a person breaks the law, what he gains must at least be equal to the cost of breaking the law.

Of course, you can also use different weights.

For example, if you go to the toilet without any toilet paper and you see a money truck outside, you rob the truck and take a dollar to cover your butt.

Xu Hao generally calls such people idiots and winners of the Darwin Award.

"During the murder, according to Lin Bao, what emotions did the deceased show toward the murderer?"

Suddenly, Xu Huo asked.

Li Jianye recalled: "Fear, regret, and pain."

Xu Hao nodded, this was the same idea as his own.

The dead are regretting! What have they done to regret it?

Are you scared?

Why are you afraid of the murderer? You know, the other party only has a rope. If he resists in time, he still has a chance to kill him!

"Captain Li, do you know what fear is made of?"

Xu Hao suddenly led the topic in another direction.

What constitutes fear?

Li Jianye frowned.

"First, you need to know what people are afraid of."

Xu Hao spoke slowly.

“The things we fear can generally be divided into two categories.”

“The fear of knowing the unknown is the fear of knowing the unknown.”

“The fear of perfect information is the fear of the known.”

The former is like the deep sea. The reason why most people have thalassophobia is that they are afraid of what may be underwater. This is the fear caused by the unknown.

As for the latter, almost many people have failed to complete their homework once or twice when they were young.

You played too much and didn't do your homework, so you started to get scared when you got to school the next day.

Because you know what punishment you will receive for not finishing your homework, you also know that you haven’t done your homework, and you know that the teacher is not a merciful person.

So, you start to feel fear, afraid of what you are going to face, which is approaching you little by little, and at the same time you regret why you didn't do your homework last night.

This is the fear that comes from having enough information.

Similarly, why do children dare to run around when they are young? Because they lack information about the consequences of their actions, so they are naturally not afraid or fearful.

And the murderer. "Is the fear known?"

Li Jianye pondered for a moment, and suddenly seemed to realize something.

"You mean"

"The deceased had never robbed medicine."

"But he also did other things that caused the murderer to pay a price, and the deceased also knew the price that such behavior would bring to the other party!"

"So, in this situation where they know everything, and see the murderer standing in front of them, they have this kind of fear, and even if the child dies, they will only feel remorse instead of anger."

Li Jianye thought for a moment, then suddenly said:

"What's up?"

"Who knows?"

Xu Hao waved his hand.

Xu Hao could think of nine things that could lead to such a consequence, nine different things! But if it was the dead, five dead, or even more dead, and this was only done to one person?

No, the murderer’s victim is not necessarily only him.

What does the rope mean? What can the rope do? Hanging? Medicine. And just when Xu Hao was thinking about something.

Suddenly, a cell phone rang.

Li Jianye paused and quickly took out his cell phone.

"Hello? Lao Li, it's me."

Liu Defa's voice rang out, and before Li Jianye could speak, he uttered an important message.

“Drug testing of the deceased.”

“It’s out!”

One of the important clues, the medicine, has been found!

Xu Huo suddenly stood up.

"Walk!"

Qiaozhou City, First People's Hospital.

"This drug is considered a specific drug for chronic myeloid leukemia."

"The effect is very good, far better than most drugs in China, and it is the best in the world."

"It belongs to the TKL class of drugs, which are compounds that can inhibit the catalytic activity of epidermal growth factor receptors. This drug was developed in 1996."

"As for China, I remember it was launched in 2002."

"Because we have just entered the market, many hospitals have not yet established channels, and even most doctors don't know about it. I only learned about this drug when I went to the capital to study."

Hospital, office entrance.

A chief doctor spoke while holding the small medicine bottle.

“And the name of this medicine is called.”

“Imatinib.”

Xu Hao paused and looked at Li Jianye.

"How much does this medicine cost!?"

Xu Hao asked.

The chief doctor frowned, thought for a long time, and said, "There are two reasons why this drug is not widely available. One is that it has only been on the market in China for a short time, and the other is that it is expensive!"

"A bottle of medicine contains 120 pills, which can only be taken for one month. Not counting other medical expenses, this medicine alone costs about 25,000 yuan!"

"This medicine costs nearly three hundred thousand dollars a year!"

The price is very expensive!

"Three hundred thousand!" Even Li Jianye, a captain of the detachment, felt his heart tremble.

Xu Hao looked at Liu Defa.

“How many bottles of medicine are there in the homes of the five deceased people?”

Liu Defa paused, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"Twenty. Twenty-seven bottles of medicine!"

Twenty-seven bottles worth six hundred and seventy-five thousand.

These are just the medicines that have been taken recently or have not been finished yet. How many bottles have been thrown away after being taken before?

How many bottles are there for those who have not been killed by the murderer?

Can you afford it with two million all added up?

It is now 2004, not yet 2008, and the average wage per person is over 1,000 yuan.

When an ordinary, healthy person earns a thousand dollars a month, even if they save for a year, they can't buy a bottle of medicine! Suddenly, everyone fell into a strange silence.

Where did this drug-dead person worth at least two million come from!? (End of this chapter)
