Chapter 193 Split-Brain Case: The Person Who Should Have Died
There are more than ten interpretations of the meaning of the symbol "Ψ", involving many disciplines. They listed a table to explain its meaning.
But everyone still couldn't figure out what the symbol had to do with the case?
"Why did the murderer leave this symbol? Is he provoking the police? But this symbol is not threatening at all,"
Lin Sen said, "This may be his crime mark. Many criminals, especially serial killers, like to leave their own unique marks at the scene of the murder."
Crime marks refer to the unique and personalized behaviors left by criminals in the process of committing crimes. These behaviors are not out of the need to complete the crime, but to meet their special needs. This is also an important piece of evidence in serial murder cases.
Fang Rui said: "Lin Sen, do you suspect he will commit crimes again?"
"Yes. We can't use conventional criminal logic to analyze his criminal behavior and criminal motives, so he is likely to commit crimes based on his own criminal delusions. Such delusions are usually illogical and unrealistic, so we will find that his behavior is very chaotic."
Fang Rui and his team investigated the vehicles on that road, but because of the huge traffic volume, no useful clues have been found.
Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang visited the gas station near the crime scene again.
This gas station is about 1,200 meters away from the flowerbed where the body was found. Fang Rui first asked the person in charge of the gas station for the surveillance video at the door, and then began to question the employees.
"Did you see any unusual vehicles around here on September 14 and 15?" Fang Rui asked. The
sanitation worker reported the case on the morning of September 15.
One of the male employees wearing glasses said, "What kind of vehicles are considered unusual vehicles? Speeding? Illegal U-turns? There are no illegal cameras around here, so there are often vehicles violating traffic regulations."
"Yes! Tell me the license plate number or the characteristics of the car."
"I have already reported it on the traffic control APP," he opened the mobile phone software and showed Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang his report record, "These are the cars."
The employee's father died in a car accident. The drunk driver killed his father, so he hates others driving illegally.
Xiao Zhang wrote down the models and license plate numbers of the cars he mentioned.
"Have you seen any cars parked on the roadside in the past two days?"
"Parking is prohibited on this road, and there are wastelands around here, and no passengers will get off the car on the roadside. Even if the driver has to park in a hurry, he can park here at our gas station, or at the water station next door. Large trucks usually like to park there overnight."
A female employee suddenly said, "You know what, I saw a white car parked on the roadside one night."
"When?"
"It was around 9:00 p.m. on the 14th. I remember it very clearly because something happened at home that day and my colleague and I changed shifts in advance. I was riding my electric bike past the section of road ahead, just a little ahead of the intersection that turns to the auxiliary road.
I saw the white car parked there from a distance. I thought it was stuck and was about to go over to ask what was going on, but the car saw me coming and started the car immediately. The driver seemed to be a novice. When starting, he made a mistake in steering and hit the curb. I don't know if the car was damaged."
"Do you still remember the license plate number of the car?"
The female employee said, "I don't remember. It was so dark and there were no street lights on the roadside. I only remember that it was a white car with a green license plate."
"Can you recognize the model of the car?"
"That car has no brand. It should be a domestically made car of unknown brand. It is a popular small car."
"Okay, thank you for the clues. If you remember any clues, please contact us immediately." Xiao Zhang wrote down the contact information for them.
"No problem. If I remember any clues, I promise to contact you immediately."
Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang visited the water filling station again. Because there was a wall outside the water filling station, the road was in a blind spot, so the employees inside did not provide any useful clues.
Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang checked the curbs along the road according to the description of the female employee. Soon they found a curb with white paint. The paint was found about 500 meters from the flowerbed where the body was found.
Xiao Zhang found it strange: "Why didn't he park the front of the car next to the flower bed? It would take several minutes to walk to the flower bed with the body in his arms. Wasn't he afraid of being seen by passing vehicles?"
Fang Rui was also puzzled. He guessed: "Could it be that after the murderer parked the car, he found that this place was not suitable for dumping the body, so he walked forward again?"
"But there is an identical flower bed here."
Fang Rui decided not to dwell on this issue for the time being. "Let's investigate the white car first. The paint on the front of the car is likely to have peeled off, and the license plate is green, so it should be a white new energy car. Let Xiao Li and the others use these characteristics to see if they can find this car in the surveillance."
"Okay."
Fang Rui also asked his colleagues in the Household Registration Section to investigate the identity of the deceased.
The deceased was a child with Down syndrome and had a very special appearance. However, after Fang Rui and his team issued a missing person notice, no one called to identify the body. Recently, no one called the police to report that a child was missing.
Fang Rui also asked people to visit major hospitals in Jiangzhou City. However, the pediatric staff of these hospitals all said that they had never seen this child.
It stands to reason that children with Down syndrome are prone to illness, and the deceased is suspected of having congenital heart disease, so it is impossible that he had not been to the hospital.
Xiao Zhang said: "We have spread the news through multiple channels, and the TV station also broadcast a missing person notice for us, but no one has come forward to give us any clues. This is very abnormal. He looks so strange, and people who have seen him must have a deep impression of him. How come no one knows him? Could this child be from another place and just came here, so no one knows him?"
"Then he must have a guardian. He has been missing for two or three days, why didn't his guardian report it to the police?"
"Could he have been abducted?" someone speculated, but he quickly denied his guess, "But who would abduct a child with Down syndrome? No buyer would be willing to buy a child who is obviously sick."
Mu Mian whispered, "Yes, if someone wants to study Down syndrome, he would buy a child like this."
Xiao Zhang exclaimed, "Then this child couldn't have been locked up for research and never seen outsiders, right?"
Chen Xue retorted, "This isn't a TV series. Even if someone wants to study Down syndrome, they can openly ask for the consent of the child's parents. Why lock the child up?"
Seeing that Fang Rui and his team couldn't find the child's identity information, Mu Mian thought she had nothing better to do, so she matched the child's DNA with the DNA data in the police station's DNA database.
To Mu Mian's surprise, they actually matched a person. The two DNA samples were very similar, and they were likely mother and child.
Chen Xue came over and said to Mu Mian, "Mian Mian, what are you doing?"
Mu Mian switched the computer screen, and she pointed at the screen and said, "I'm writing my mouse observation diary."
"Well, I saw you looked surprised, and I thought the case had made progress?"
Mu Mian said with a gloomy face, "I was very surprised. Rainbow Seven's weight has exceeded that of other mice. It is no longer a genius mouse."
"Then are you going to abandon it?"
"Of course not, although it is not a genius mouse, it is now a happy mouse. Officer Zhang said that happy people will gain weight, which is called a broad mind and a fat body. Chen Xue, you are so thin, you must lack happiness in your daily life."
Chen Xue smiled helplessly, "Mian Mian, if you can only choose one between IQ and happiness, what would you choose?"
"You can't choose your IQ because it's almost always determined by genes. But you can choose your happiness. So I can have both IQ and happiness!"
