Criminal Investigation Notes
Chapter 108:
The sky in the distance finally started to light up, gradually turning from an inky blue to a pale blue. It seemed that within a few minutes, the sky and the earth suddenly lit up, and the whole city awakened.
The sun is about to rise, the sun disperses the darkness and brings warmth.
Lu Siyu knelt down and carefully checked the condition of the female body.
Song Wen also looked aside and said, "The murderer covered the victim's eyes. Does this seem to be apologetic?"
There is a theory in criminal psychology. If the victim knows the murderer, or if the murderer is apologetic, sometimes he will turn the body over with the back side up, and sometimes use cloth, handkerchief, clothes, etc. to touch the victim’s head and face. Especially cover your eyes.This phenomenon is more common in the corpses of some women, children, and old people.
"Most criminal psychology theories describe it this way, but it's also possible...this is just the personal signature of the murderer." Before the forensic doctor came, Lu Siyu squatted down and became a forensic doctor. He had a hunch in his heart that such a murder might be possible. Not the first time it happened.
"The murderer's methods are clean and neat, there are strangulation marks on the neck, the hyoid bone should have been fractured, there is cyanosis on the fingertips, and he was strangled. The time of death was two hours ago. The murder weapon was..." Lu Siyu spoke and licked With a touch of his lips, his slender fingers touched the girl's neck and began to check.
The pale corpse still carries a trace of body temperature that is not easily detectable. On the girl's jade-like neck, the lines of the striae are clear and special, wide in some places, narrow in some places, very regular, and obviously extremely elastic. He took a closer look at the items left behind, and said, "Stockings."
The mention of this murder weapon brings some other meanings.
Since the introduction of stockings in 1937, this thin and soft accessory has been constantly standing on the cusp, and has even become a symbol of modern women's sexy.Some people are crazy about it, and even make it more popular than underwear.In many serial murders against women, stockings have also become a murder weapon.
Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, stockings are undoubtedly one of the choices for warmth and beauty. Especially in some service industries, stockings have become a standard.
Song Wen involuntarily touched his neck, then he looked down at the neatly dressed clothes on the corpse: "So... was the murder weapon brought by the murderer or was she wearing it before?"
After taking the photo of the corpse, Lu Siyu gently lifted the corner of the girl’s clothes, exposing the girl’s waist. There were various traces of bruise on her smooth body, and it was covered with mud. The clothes were probably After finishing the attack, he replied to Song Wen: "The stockings were taken off from the victim. The murderer can get pleasure from the victim's struggle. This is his excitement, and this step will not be omitted." He checked again and made sure that the socks were not on the scene, and said, "The socks are trophies, and they may have been taken away by the murderer."
The various traces on the female corpse indicate how tragic torture she had suffered during her lifetime.Sex, the most beautiful thing in the world, is also the source of sin.
Being beaten, assaulted, and then strangled to death is a relatively long process. She struggled desperately on the grass until she died. This scene was not so bloody, but it made people feel a kind of chill, cold from the soles of the feet through every blood vessel. Into the body, straight into the heart.
Song Wen frowned deeper: "There are traces of beatings and injuries...but why should we dress her again?"
He has seen all kinds of murder scenes. Most of the female victims were undressed, and the clothes of this female victim were neat. Such an approach was obviously unreasonable. It was the first time he saw such scenes.
"Not only that..." Lu Siyu said, using his gloved fingers to gently pick up the clothes covering the deceased's face, and motioned Song Wen to look at the corpse's face.
Under the sunlight, the female corpse's eyes were open. In the morning light, the long eyelashes were distinct, casting a small arc-shaped shadow.Her pupils are pitch black, they have been enlarged because of death.The woman's mouth was slightly opened, she was smeared with plum-colored lipstick, and her entire face was covered with a thin layer of loose powder, making her look delicate and beautiful.The clothes were lifted up, and the sweet smell in the air became more obvious.
It is not difficult for people to find the abnormality of this corpse, it is not like a tormented corpse, there are no tears in the corners of the eyes, and the hair is neatly combed...
Lu Siyu took a breath and said, "He might have put makeup on her..."
Fu Linjiang originally collected the victim’s items scattered all over the place. Hearing this, he couldn’t help being filled with outrage: “This is really a pervert!” Apart from the word pervert, he didn’t know what words to use to describe the murderer. .Facing such a well-dressed corpse made his heart feel even more uncomfortable.
The little policeman who arrived at the scene at first said: "We...we were there just now and found some traces. There were also some wiped tissues and a bloody gauze. There were traces of dragging and struggling in the grass. , It may be the first scene of the crime."
Song Wen raised his head and asked, "Blood gauze?"
There were no obvious wounds on the girl's body, and there were no traces of gauze bandages. He soon realized that this might have been left by the murderer. "Linjiang, look at the murderer. The murderer may have been injured. During the fight, the gauze fell off. Come down."
Fu Linjiang followed the direction and looked all the way. It was a palm-sized piece of gauze with a circle of blood stains on it, like it was pinched or bitten by something. He carefully put the gauze into the evidence bag, and finally from the grass on the side of the road. I found an ID card that I had lost there, looked at the deceased and said: "The identity of the deceased has been confirmed."
Song Wen took it and took a look, remembering the girl's name, Wang Xiaopei, he said: "Call Zhu Xiao and check the deceased's information."
Fu Linjiang responded and went to the side to make a call. After a while, he turned around and reported: "The deceased was a waiter in a hot pot restaurant. He had notified her unit, and Zhu Xiao was informing the family of the deceased." He said As he spoke, the eye circles were a little red, "I was only 22 years old, and he died so miserably...The murderer is really a brute."
Song Wen patted him on the shoulder to show comfort. For his family and relatives, the young girl was suddenly killed. This is undoubtedly bad news, not to mention the tragic death.
When several people said this, another police car arrived on the side of the road. Lin Xiuran took the survey box and walked out of the car. He straightened the cuffs of his suit: "I slept in a funeral home last night, but I didn’t expect it to happen again this morning. A case happened..." The funeral home is a bit opposite to the suburbs here, so he came later than the others.
"Well, we have just arrived." Song Wen waved at him as he talked. Lin Xiuran nodded, took out his gloves and put them on, bowed down and looked at the dead girl. His expression was gradually serious and he took a breath: "That's how the clothes are covered?"
Song Wen nodded: "Yes, that's it when I came."
Lin Xiuran straightened up: "This is the third in the past six months. This is a serial murder case."
Song Wen turned his head and asked, "Which group belonged to the previous two cases?"
Lin Xiuran said: "They are all in the second group. Do you remember the female salesman Li Ling I told you about? That was the first one. Then, another 28-year-old female teacher was killed. The second group was investigating other people. I have been pursuing these two cases at the same time as the case, but I didn't expect the murderer to do it again."
Song Wen still had the impression that when Lin Xiuran and Lu Siyu went to Luning, Lin Xiuran and him raised the female murder case. He frowned: "What are the common points of these three murders?"
"They were all women. They were killed at night. They strangled their necks with silk stockings, and their clothes covered their faces." Lin Xiuran looked at the corpse and said: "The first two corpses were not arranged so neatly, but they were also cleaned up and dressed. The case is over." He looked up at the surrounding environment and thought about adding, "In the previous two cases, the murderer had some actions to hide the corpse, so the corpse was discovered after a while. This time, It seems to have given up."
"Where and when the crime was committed?"
"The first was the riverside of Lianhuatang more than three months ago, and the second was the garbage dump behind Xixing Street half a month ago."
Although these three places belong to the eastern district of Nancheng, they are a bit far apart, and the occupations of the girls are completely different. From this, it can be inferred that the murderer is randomly selecting victims that meet his hobbies.
Song Wen listened to Lin Xiuran's words, bowed his head and meditated: "The victim is getting younger and younger, the time between committing crimes is getting shorter and shorter, and he is becoming more and more unscrupulous. The murderer is evolving..."
All the people present became serious. Nancheng has not had a serial homicide for many years, and it is such a bad nature, an abnormal homicide against women.
Once such a series of crimes begin, if not detected, the perpetrator may commit the crime again, threatening more people.
"The cooling off period is shortening." Lu Siyu thought for a while and asked, "What is the time of the murder? Is there any rule?"
Lin Xiuran replied: "The first was around ten o'clock in the evening, and the second was around eleven o'clock in the evening..." Then he lowered his body and picked up the female corpse's hand, with some warmth on his wrist: "How many deaths did this corpse have? Hours, the murder was about four o'clock in the morning."
After hearing these previous circumstances, Fu Linjiang hesitated: "Then it seems that this is going to be a case with the second team, shall we still investigate?"
The City Council has regulations that once it is confirmed that it is a case committed by a co-criminal, it will eventually be combined and belong to the group that received the case first.In any case, we must first inform the bureau to avoid misunderstanding among colleagues.
Song Wen looked at the female body on the ground and made a decision: "Wait for me to call Gu Ju and ask."
After half a minute, Song Wen hung up his cell phone and said, "Gu Ju said that this case should be handled as the most recent special case. Let us join Tian Ming and set up a task force to investigate together."
