Flower Museum Headless Dismemberment Case (12)

Including the day of the crime, today should be the sixth day, which means that there is only one day left out of the original four days. Given the severity of the situation, Director Liu must have gone through a lot of trouble to get two days from the provincial government, but Lu He only asked for one day.

One day? Meng Siqi couldn't even imagine it. Starting from now, can the murderer be found by twelve o'clock tonight?

She knew that Lu He would never speak without thinking. He was the captain of the criminal police team and the deputy leader of Operation Thunder in this case. He had important responsibilities and every word he said must be carefully considered.

Liu Maoping's expression softened a bit, not as serious as before. "Okay, I'll listen to your ideas."

"Hiss..." There was a sound of someone pulling a stool. Luo Xiaoguo moved a chair over and said, "Director Liu, please sit down."

"No need to sit down. Let's talk."

Luo Xiaoguo moved the chair back to its original place with a little embarrassment.

Lu He looked cold, "Let me first introduce this case. On March 26, the Flower Museum opened at 9 o'clock. Around 10 o'clock, a man dressed in an ugly way entered the exhibition with a cart. That was when there were the most people. He had a work badge from the museum operating company, and everything went smoothly from entering to leaving the museum. Based on this information, we have always believed that the suspect's purpose was to destroy the museum exhibition and damage the image of the city."

"From this investigative perspective, our search area has become very large. The suspect sent letters to the police station and mailed letters to newspapers. We arranged a large number of people to monitor him, but he did not move again. Therefore, we have always believed that he was against the police station and the city. He seemed to be guiding us and making a shocking plan. He put us in a dilemma created by him, so that the case has not made any significant progress. But what if we look at it from another angle?"

Everyone had been immersed in Lu He's words, and when he proposed another angle, everyone's expressions froze.

Lu He said: "Two days ago, Meng Siqi and I mentioned the word 'emotion'..."

Meng Siqi was very surprised that Lu He would mention her. She had just mentioned it casually that day and she didn't expect Lu He to think about her words. She was very surprised, yet she also felt flattered.

At the same time, almost all members were confirming whether Meng Siqi was here. She was really too easy to be ignored. Luo Xiaoguo and Yan Chun had never taken her seriously. However, at this time, at this difficult moment, when Lu He mentioned her name, very complicated expressions appeared on their faces.

Zhao Leiting glanced at her, his eyes slightly crooked, probably because he was happy for her. Although Feng Shaomin was very calm, he still looked at her.

Lu He said: "What if the suspect and the deceased were emotionally connected, such as boyfriend and girlfriend, secret admirer, or unrequited love? This seems to explain the suspect's behavior better. The suspect's cart contained eight kinds of flowers, and each flower was different."

Lu He picked up the chalk and drew on a corner of the crime board, where the names of the flowers were written before. "These eight kinds of flowers include white roses, violets... and even white tea flowers."

"They all have special meanings, but most of them represent a man's attachment to and longing for a woman. The white tea flower is the most special of these flowers. Its flower language is the beauty of the end. This morning I met Meng Siqi at the door. She handed me a piece of paper with the flower language of each flower recorded on it."

Meng Siqi did meet Lu He in the morning. She couldn't wait to give him the flower language she had investigated yesterday, and told him that she had found the address where the suspect bought the flowers. Lu He immediately affirmed her investigation and told her to prepare to go to the conference room for a meeting.

"What is the beauty of the end?" Lu He said, "The suspect killed the victim, this is the end, but the suspect has deep feelings for the victim, so this is the beauty of the end. I infer that the murderer of this case did not really want to destroy the image of the city, he should be performing a ritual."

Hearing this, everyone's face was filled with an indescribable uneasiness. Rituals are often associated with mystery. Why did the suspect perform this ritual? This made the case even more mysterious and bizarre.

No one had any ideas. They listened attentively to Lu He's explanation and immersed themselves in his thoughts.

Lu He said: "American psychologist Karpman proposed a famous 'Karpman Drama Triangle Law', which points out that everyone has a triangular drama role of persecutor, victim and savior in their heart. In daily life, people will unconsciously play these three roles and switch between them constantly."

"In this case, I infer that the suspect was a victim in his relationship with the deceased, so he committed a brutal murder and became the persecutor who killed the deceased. However, because he had a special relationship with the deceased, he became a savior. How did he save her? It was the ceremony, the beautiful flowers, the museum full of flowers, and the beautifully cut bones and the extremely beautiful body parts placed in the suitcase that he was obsessed with..."

"The murderer is mentally abnormal. He thought he was 'saving' the dead, so he did these incredible things... He was emotionally deficient, either because of childhood frustration, family defects, or social injustice. His life was incomplete. He had a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. He had obsessions, deep obsessions, which had kept him awake at night, escaping, hiding in dark corners. He wanted to break through. The more silent he was, the crazier he became..."

When Lu He said this, everyone's expressions were focused and they held their breath, but there was a kind of shock in their eyes. This shock naturally came from Lu He's analysis. It was like a feeling of being infinitely close to the truth, which made everyone's thinking dull.

Victimization, persecution, and salvation seem to perfectly explain the murderer's criminal psychology and criminal behavior.

Luo Xiaoguo was the first to applaud: "Captain Lu, you said it very well!"

Everyone couldn't help but applaud, and Meng Siqi also joined in. Although Liu Maoping didn't applaud, his expression obviously became a little more relaxed, and even his eyes were filled with hope for this case.

Meng Siqi suddenly had a different feeling. She and Lu He were not close friends, but she had a connection with Lu He in some way.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of uneasiness, not because of Lu He's analysis, but because of Lu He himself.

Lu He is not a super psychologist, he is a criminal police, a young criminal police. Judging from the white bone news thirty years later, he is less than thirty years old now, and he is very young to be a criminal police officer.

But Meng Siqi felt that there was a kind of loneliness in his heart, a loneliness close to death and despair. She felt that Lu He had explored the murderer's true heart, which was not something that a young and upright psychologist or a sunny criminal policeman could easily explore. He put himself in the murderer's shoes. This substitution seemed simple, but it was very difficult to truly put himself in the shoes of the murderer, unless Lu He's heart was lonely that others could not perceive.

She didn't know why she felt this way. She felt more and more that she came to this world largely because of Lu He. Lu He must not be what she saw now.

Perhaps a real Lu He would make people's hearts burst like a flood!

Undoubtedly, Liu Maoping was the calmest person in the conference room. He asked: "How to explain the suspect's repeated provocations to the police and the newspaper?"

"Because the suspect asked to die."

This answer once again filled everyone with surprise and confusion.

Lu He said: "He killed the dead, he completed the salvation ritual, but he also lost everything. His death was the last link in all the salvation rituals. He wanted to use his sensational death to commemorate the dead! In order to die sensationally, he must do these sensational events."

"Okay." Liu Maoping finally said "Okay", "What is the direction of the investigation now? Although you have proposed the criminal psychology of the suspect, how can we find the real murderer within one day?"

"The head of the deceased." Lu He said with certainty, "We have been looking for the head of the deceased for several days but have not found it. From the beginning, we thought that the suitcase could not hold the head, so the head was abandoned somewhere else. But if the suspect has feelings for the deceased and is a bit mentally abnormal, he would never do this. He should put the head next to him now, as close as possible! If I am not mistaken, he has protected it. To prevent the head from rotting, the only way is to put it in the refrigerator!"

Everyone's expression was shocked again, and Meng Siqi swallowed it quickly. Zhao Lei Ting glanced at Meng Siqi in shock, and he already felt a chill down his spine.

Lu He said: "At this moment, he has not left. He is very quiet. He is waiting for us. He knows that we will find him one day. He is just mocking and despising our turtle-like crawling speed. He will not waver in his thoughts and will not move his position, because that is the place he longs for. He will never leave there until the moment we find him!"

"He planned an event that attracted the attention of millions of people. He must have been very proud, very proud, because this was more exciting than all his humble past; but he was also very sad and in pain. He stared at the head of his beloved, the eyes that had lost their life but still looked at him, and he made an unbearable cry. He was waiting, waiting for everything to come to a quiet end..."

Zhao Leiting finally got to know Lu He. Everyone said that Lu He was a genius at solving cases. Before, he was just someone people talked about, but when he really got to know him, he found that no one in the entire police station could match him.

Lu He is a god!

Maybe everyone thinks Lu He is incredible, but in Meng Siqi's view, there seems to be a different light in his eyes. He is too lonely, so lonely that it makes people feel distressed.

He seemed to have truly entered the murderer's psychology. This was a contest between justice and evil, as well as a game of human hearts. He walked into the murderer's heart, and he seemed to have "merged into one" with the murderer. At this moment, Meng Siqi even felt a hint of despair and madness in his eyes.

Liu Maoping's eyes lit up, but he still said cautiously: "Okay, I believe the head is in the refrigerator now. But there are so many families in this city who have refrigerators, how can we confirm which refrigerator the head is in?"

Lu He's expression remained calm, and his gaze suddenly turned to Meng Siqi's face. Meng Siqi had been immersed in his analysis, and was surprised to be suddenly stared at by him, and his eyeballs flashed.

"Meng Siqi, tell me about the funeral florist you investigated."

Meng Siqi didn't know what Lu He was thinking, so he immediately glanced at Zhao Leiting. Zhao Leiting was distracted for a moment, as if he had just come to his senses. He quickly picked up the notebook and said, "Yesterday we found out at a funeral flower shop on Huabin Road that the suspect had bought white roses and white tea flowers there at around 7pm on March 24th. According to the description of the flower shop owner, the man was about 25 or 26 years old, spoke little, and had a similar figure to the suspect. He should be the suspect without a doubt."

Lu He reminded: "Liang Yunfeng."

"Ah?" Liang Yunfeng was a little confused.

"Circle the address of the funeral florist, and then connect all the neighborhoods around the museum, Xiaotian Supermarket, and the funeral florist."

"Okay." Liang Yunfeng quickly drew a red circle somewhere on the map with a red pen, marking it as "Funeral Flower Shop". This funeral flower shop was about ten kilometers away from the museum. Liang Yunfeng then connected all the communities on the crime board according to the lines on the map.

This is not an urban area. There are not many neighborhoods, but there are not a few either. Lu He hugged her arms and looked at the map calmly. The words and lines on the map seemed chaotic to Meng Siqi, and she could not tell the connection between them at all.

The irregular local map of the city is crisscrossed and looks like a spider web woven repeatedly. Currently, there are not many places known that the suspect may have been to, such as the funeral flower shop, Xiaotian Supermarket, and the anime-style clothing store. They are like traces left by the spider. However, in the upper right corner of the spider web, there is a huge red dot, and the museum is there, like the spider's prey.

How to find the spider's nest in a dense spider web?

Lu He's gaze stayed on the map for three to five minutes. It was a long and agonizing process. During this process, one could hear a pin drop in the conference room. Everyone held their breath because everyone firmly believed that Lu He would give the answer.

His eyes seemed to penetrate through the map, and what appeared before him was a vivid city construction map. Every road was extending, intertwining, and circulating. They were not isolated, because every road had a starting point and an end point. The suspect would make an instinctive choice of which road to take!

Lu He suddenly picked up the pen, and his bony fingers stopped at a point where the lines intersected. He drew a circle on one of the small areas with great effort, "Here."

The community named "Jiangnan Homeland" has become the most dazzling place on the map.

Lu He said decisively: "Criminal cartography usually studies the spatial distribution and changing patterns of criminal activities. If the key places visited by the suspect are connected with a circle, then the center of the circle is the place where the dismemberment occurred. This is the most likely place where the suspect lived after killing and dismembering the body, and it is also the most likely hiding place for the head. Jiangnan Home Community is not the center of the circle, but it does have a direct route to the funeral flower shop, Xiaotian Supermarket and the anime-style clothing store, with the least detours, and it avoids the road sections under maintenance and the crowded vegetable market. Therefore, Jiangnan Home is the most suitable location. If it is not in this community, it will be in a community within one or two kilometers nearby at most, and it will not exceed this range."

At this moment, almost everyone's expression was dull and surprised. The ordinary community that was unknown and ignored on the map was like a dazzling landmark, waiting for them to uncover the truth!

"Okay." Liu Maoping was full of confidence. "Lu He, I believe in your analysis. Lead the team immediately and make sure to find the head and catch the murderer today!"

"Yes, Director Liu." Lu He seemed to have come out of some emotion, and he saluted passionately.

After the meeting, Meng Siqi was full of excitement and quickly returned to the office with Feng Shaomin and Zhao Leiting to organize their equipment, including pistols, walkie-talkies, handcuffs, etc. The three of them trotted to the courtyard and boarded the police car.

The two police cars led by Lu He in front, a total of three cars, had already sounded the sirens, but they stayed in the courtyard for a while, as if they were intentionally waiting for them.

Zhao Lei Ting started the engine and sounded the sirens. Immediately, four police cars rushed out of the police station gate, sirens blaring through the clouds, sounding a loud victory horn, and headed straight for the Jiangnan Home Community.
