Mystery

Chapter 258 Countdown to Death

"The time of death was 12:40."

When Zhuge Fan heard this voice, he thought he was reincarnated and became a girl.

He said, looking at Shen Ke with surprise on his face, "What did you say? Have you cracked the notice letter?"

Then he turned his head and saw the time of death neatly written on the whiteboard, and was immediately discouraged.

"Hey, it's written here! How could someone be able to decipher it at a glance? Doesn't that make me stupid?"

Shen Ke raised his eyebrows, "The time of your death is varied. The murderer wrote it directly at the scene, right?"

Zhuge Fan was surprised now, this thing was not photographed, it was pasted on the whiteboard.

"That's right!" Before he had time to be happy for five seconds, he became depressed again, "Yes, the forensic doctor's estimate of the time of death may be so accurate, as long as experienced criminal investigators hear it, they will know that there is something wrong."

"Then I also know that tonight, the murderer will kill at 1:16 in the morning."

Zhuge Fan was so excited that the light in his eyes would flicker like fireworks.

He stammered, "You you you you... cracked it?"

Shen Ke shook his head, "It's not a complete solution, but I just know the time."

"This is a few well-known theories in communication and sociology."

"The first trailer is the spiral of silence, which was first proposed in 1974, and the corresponding time of death is 1:14."

"The second one is me in the mirror, which was proposed by a foreign sociologist in his book in 1902. It corresponds to the time of death at 00:02."

"The third one is the opinion leader," Shen Ke said, pointing to the third notice letter that Zhuge Fan hadn't had time to talk about. On it was a podium and a microphone.

"It was proposed in 1940, corresponding to the time of death at 00:40."

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became active, and there was a buzz of discussion.

Zhuge Fan's eyes were wide open, and when he came to his senses, he couldn't help laughing wryly, and then glared at Gangzi and Huazi again, "Why is this murderer still discriminating against scumbags? I thought the first one was Twisted Potato strip!"

"According to what you said, the theory of the fourth notice letter was put forward in 1976. The first 19 is ignored, and the last 76 is minutes, which is 1:16 in the morning."

Shen Ke nodded, "The first one is not French fries, but the fourth one is. Potatoes on the sofa."

"Although there are no potatoes on the sofa, there are potato chips under the sofa. The notice letter is only for people to understand, so that it can be used as a notice."

Zhuge Fan, I'm sorry, I really didn't understand.

As Shen Ke said, she looked at the place where Yu Chengfeng died. It was the scene of his book signing event. Since the signing was going to be held the next morning, the scene had already been arranged.

Yu Chengfeng died on his seat with a microphone in front of him.

His nose had been cut off and he looked very horrific.The white tablecloth on the table was stained red with blood.

"Time is not enough, there must be a location. Do you have a map of Yaoguang City here? Don't want that kind of ordinary map, but a tourist map." Qi Huan, who was on the side, listened, and said to Lin Zhi, who was beside him dumbfounded.

Lin Zhi came back to her senses, blushed slightly, nodded, trotted to the pile of sundries piled up in the corner, rummaged inside, rummaged for a long time, and found a new version of the tourist map.

"Here, it's in the city of Yaoguang." Lin Zhi's voice was crisp and sounded very pleasant.

She is about 24 or [-] years old, with a slightly rounded body and looks very cute.

Shen Ke didn't continue to speak, and fell into deep thought.

Qi Huan watched over there, and put the mobile phone in front of everyone in the Yaoguang criminal team with a smile, "I just searched it, and it's hotter than freshly baked French fries."

"Potatoes on the couch, literally. In fact, the emergence of this theory has its time. At that time, it was the golden age of TV shows, and many teenagers just sat on the sofa watching TV and eating junk food all day long."

"In the long run, this kind of behavior will make it difficult for people to communicate with others and reduce interpersonal interaction."

Qi Huan's behavior of reading according to the mobile phone suddenly shortened the distance between the whole office.

Zhuge Fan listened, and finally regained his self-confidence as a human being.

"But who doesn't have a sofa TV, how can we be sure where the sofa TV is? The murderer's announcement is very problematic, even if we know in advance what kind of theory it is..."

"What's the use of that? We didn't know that he was going to kill Yu Chengfeng. We didn't know that he was going to kill Yu Chengfeng. How could he think that a place with a microphone and a podium would be the scene of his autograph event."

This is simply embarrassing him, Fat Tiger!

"Well," Shen Ke nodded, "So, there is still something that we have not deciphered."

As she spoke, she glanced at the time on her phone, "It's 35:[-] in the evening, and there is still a while before the incident."

Shen Ke said, her mind spinning quickly, "The first place is the art gallery where the death occurred, the second is the online celebrity live broadcast street, and the third is the signing site. The common feature of the three places is the place where the victim worked."

"These locations are all directly related to the victim."

As Shen Ke said, she looked around, but she didn't find the second whiteboard. She thought, stretched out her hand and turned the whiteboard upside down.

Then he picked up the marker pen smoothly and started writing on the other side of the whiteboard.

"There are many theories related to social communication, such as the knowledge gap theory, the backfire effect, etc. The murderer has a choice about these theories. Let's make a portrait of the murderer now."

"The murderer has a good understanding of the theoretical knowledge in this area. He is likely to be a scholar, a media person, or a college student of a related major, and he is likely to have been violated in this area."

The deputy team leader, who was wearing glasses, couldn't help but interrupt Shen Ke, "I understand the above, but what's the matter with being violated?"

Shen Ke was silent for a moment.

"The murderer has a motive for committing the crime. He has the behavior of destroying the corpse. His tongue, face, and nose...these three are all different, and they are all carefully selected and matched with the corresponding theory."

Shen Ke said, and wrote down the key word "revenge" on the blackboard.

Zhuge Fan shook his head, "Before you came, we checked. There is no connection between these victims, and they don't know each other. The first three are all locals, and there may be some hidden relationship that we don't know about. "

"But Yu Chengfeng is the first time to come to Yaoguang."

"I don't know each other in real life, what if we met online?" Qi Huan thought for a while and said, "Nowadays there are a lot of social media, and there are far more ways to communicate with each other than imagined, and they are much more hidden."

"What if this kind of persecution doesn't happen in real life, but on the Internet? For example, cyberbullying."

Shen Ke glanced at Qi Huan appreciatively, "It's hard to see the location from the notice letter, we have two things to do now, first choose someone who is familiar with Yaoguang, and find a possible location, it should not be at home, but a little well-known place."

"There's screens, it's addictive, and there's a lot of junk food."

"Second hand, before the murderer kills, find out the truth of the story, know who the murderer is, who will be killed next, and naturally know where the location is."

"The murderer's purpose in sending the warning letter to the police is to let us find the truth."

"And this notice letter is a clue for us, as well as a countdown to death."
