Four police cars with sirens blaring were speeding down the highway.
Driving towards the suburban villa where Zhou Shirui's studio is located.
Because time is tight.
Xu Changsheng once again displayed the strongest racing skills of the Huaihai Criminal Investigation Brigade. He never let go of the accelerator and even used drifting when turning.
Take the lead.
They were afraid that if they were half a minute late, Zhou Shirui would be dealt with in advance by other members of the drug trafficking organization, causing the case to fall into trouble again.
......
Inside the case meeting room at this time.
There were only two people left. Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then looked at Su Ming in front of him and spoke slowly.
"Xiao Ming."
"Now is the time to wait for the results from both sides."
"Let's review the many details of the May 13 dismemberment case to see if there is anything we have missed."
Speaking of this.
Lin Tian habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it to help him think when he suddenly remembered that this was not his office. He was about to satisfy his craving by sniffing his yellowed fingers.
"It's okay, Director Lin, I don't mind the smell of smoke." Su Ming smiled faintly and gestured.
"Besides, I also feel that..."
"If he had a cigarette in his hand, Director Lin would have been able to sort out the case more clearly."
Hear this.
Lin Tian didn't hesitate to take out a cigarette, light it up, and hold it between the index and middle fingers of his left hand.
Except for a light puff when lighting it.
Lin Tian did not touch the cigarette again, but let it burn slowly between his fingers and emit smoke.
Carefully recall the many details of this case from twenty years ago and combine them with today's clues.
Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, then slowly began to sort out the case.
"First of all, this May 13th dismemberment case happened 20 years ago. The victim was a freshman girl who came from a small town to Shanghai University to continue her studies. Her name is Wu Jingqing."
"We can learn this from the files from 20 years ago and the many clues we have now."
"The victim's family conditions were not good, so he had been doing various part-time jobs since he entered school, which provided conditions for the murderer Zhou Shirui."
"Zhou Shirui, who was already quite famous in his twenties at the time, was troubled by the fact that he could not take his skills and inspiration to the next level."
"So in this extremely struggling situation, I decided to use the most bloody and perverted method to give myself some inspiration."
"Or rather."
"In his eyes, murder is also a work of art, especially the treatment of the body."
"In order to achieve his murderous purpose, Zhou Shirui, through unknown means, posted a high-priced part-time job for a nude model."
"The victim happened to see him and was immediately attracted by the high reward, so he took the initiative to contact Zhou Shirui. However, at that time, being a nude model was not a glorious thing, and it was more likely to become a laughing stock and a topic of conversation for others."
"So, this part-time job victim would never tell his family, friends, or classmates about it. He would just go to Zhou Shirui's studio quietly, and even cover himself up or wear a mask or a hat, just to avoid letting people know that he had taken this part-time job."
"at this point."
"It's completely consistent with the details of how to find prey in the posts shared on the forum."
"Don't go looking for prey yourself, but let the prey come to you, and they will actively help you hide all possible traces that may be exposed."
Speaking of this.
Lin Tian paused for a moment, shook off the cigarette ash, and then continued his story.
"When the victim came to the remote villa office with the idea of working part-time to supplement his family income, Zhou Shirui brutally killed him."
"And it wasn't just a simple murder. With the knowledge of human skeletons that is essential for sculpture, Zhou Shirui performed an extremely cruel dissection and dismemberment of the victim, and recorded it all with a camera."
"Because Zhou Shirui's studio is quite remote and the soundproofing is very good, the dismemberment of the body would not attract the attention of the neighbors at all."
"The victim's body was cooked and cut into pieces. Even due to Zhou Shirui's obsessive-compulsive disorder, the size and shape of the pieces were almost the same."
"Finally, these bodies, which were cut into hundreds of pieces, were put into five bags and thrown into various places in the Magic City."
"The area where the bodies were dumped was very large and the distance between them was very far. It would be difficult to do it with just one's legs. A bicycle or motorcycle would be too conspicuous. This suggests that the murderer used a car to dump the bodies."
"The fact that they were able to record the dismemberment process 20 years ago and that they were able to drive a car to dump the body once again confirms that the murderer was well off at the time, ruling out the most common possibility of murder for money."
"After killing and dismembering the victim, Zhou Shirui used the cut lines of the victim's body to create a special sculpture that won the Luban Award - "Girl Wrapped in Bandages."
"After comparison, the lines on the body of the victim that were pieced together were almost identical to the lines on the sculpture that represented the bandage, which further confirmed the case."
"At the same time, in the video recording, Zhou Shirui called it a perfect work after cutting up the body parts."
"But based on the pieced-together body parts of the victim and the only recorded video, none of the victim's internal organs were visible."
"According to current speculation, this may be because Zhou Shirui left this perfect work as a souvenir."
This moment.
Su Ming was sitting opposite and listening attentively.
When I heard Lin Tian link the perfect work with internal organs and mentioned the sculpture that won the Lu Ban Award.
Having once been a crazy criminal, he suddenly thought of some extremely crazy and perverted behavior.
Perfect works, internal organs, a girl wrapped in bandages, Lu Ban Award sculptures and other key contents kept popping up in his mind.
Without the slightest hesitation.
He immediately picked up the case file on the table and looked at the spliced pictures of the victim's body.
Su Ming could clearly see that there was an extremely obvious mark of abdominal incision on the lower back of the victim's body.
There is a big difference in the appearance of the wounds from opening the abdomen to remove organs after death and from cutting the wounds after cooking.
Immediately following.
Su Ming picked up the laptop screen in front of him again and directly searched for high-definition pictures of Zhou Shirui's work "Girl Wrapped in Bandages".
Enlarge the high-definition picture to the maximum and observe the lower back of the statue carefully.
Discover......
The organs were removed from the victim's abdomen in almost exactly the same position, with extremely obvious signs of repair.
The engraving depth of this line is greater than the cutting marks in other locations.
Then.
Su Ming immediately checked the specific weight of the statue and found out after converting the mass...
This plaster sculpture, titled "Girl Wrapped in Bandages," weighs several thousand grams less than normal.
That is to say.
It is likely that part of the statue was hollowed out and replaced with something lighter.
Think of this.
Su Ming looked at Lin Tian, who had just finished recreating the case, and spoke seriously and solemnly.
"Director Lin."
"I may have a rough idea of where Zhou Shirui has hidden the victim's internal organs."
Su Ming paused for a moment, turned the laptop screen towards Lin Tian, pointed at the statue's belly and continued.
"If I'm not mistaken, the victim's internal organs..."
"It's all in this statue's belly!"
