Crime Profiler 2

Chapter 11 Ling Chi Torture (3)

Zheng Yan's speculation was confirmed early the next morning.

A DNA match between the roll and the skeleton found later the previous day was confirmed to be the same person.The victim's DNA matched that of a victim in the L city police database, who was the son of the owner of the second hot pot restaurant.

After the preliminary autopsy, Qin Ling believed that the murder methods of the two victims were similar, and undigested meat rolls were found in the victims' abdomens; the tools or locations of the crimes were the same, and the same unknown fibers were found in the human meat rolls.

Based on this, Qin Ling believes that the crime should be committed by the same person.

So far, there have been two victims in this series of murders.However, the overnight investigation by the L city police did not find any valuable clues.

There was no intersection between the two victims, and no clues to their acquaintance were found.The two fathers who "lost their beloved son" did not know each other before, and the initial investigation of their interpersonal relationship did not find anyone they knew in common.

"Could the murderer be a knight hiding in the dark?" Zheng Yan stood in front of the window of the conference room and said to himself, "It seems that he will continue to commit crimes. Boss, what do you think?" He asked Tang He Gong.

At this time, Tang He Gong kept his mouth tightly shut, and refused to say a word.

"Forget it, let's go to Lingzi's side, one night, we should find something else." Zheng Yan smiled helplessly and said.

Liu Sheng drove the two of them to the dissection room of the funeral parlor in L City. To their surprise, Qin Ling was not the only one busy in the dissection room, but Mu Xue and Du Li were also there.

Du Li's hand has been treated by the doctor, and it seems that there is no serious problem, but there is still nothing to do for the time being.

"Why are you here?" Zheng Yan asked with a frown.

"I can't die, why waste time there?" Du Li smiled and said, "The doctor said, there may be scars or not, and the skin will look more tender."

"You!" Zheng Yan shook his head, then turned his gaze to Qin Ling.

Qin Ling, who hadn't rested all night, was in a pretty good mental state at the moment, but she was a little tired.She was holding a cup of soy milk in her hand, and she was sipping it slowly, but her brows were tightened together, as if she was troubled by some problem.

"What happened to her?" Tang He Gong asked.

"She found something strange, and she didn't know how to explain it." Mu Xue said, "Reiko believes that the murderer used a sharp knife to cut off the victim's meat, cooked it and let the victim eat it. There is an 80.00% possibility that the victim is not Died of excessive blood loss and unbearable pain, but was strangled to death."

"To die?" Tang He Gong's eyes widened.

"I was fed to death by my own flesh." Qin Ling put down the soy milk, looked at the two skeletons, and said, "But how is this possible? If the victim is conscious, he will definitely resist and refuse to eat. But if the victim was unconscious at the time Yes, it would be even more impossible to eat. Also, these pieces of meat are almost the same size, I can't figure out how he did it."

"Well, Qin Fayi, take a look at this, will it be of any help to you?" Liu Sheng said, taking out a document from his bag, "The appraisal report just made by the technical department, they compared Nearly a thousand materials on the market made this conclusion.”

"Fishing net?" Qin Ling directly turned the identification report to the conclusion page, which clearly stated that this fiber was consistent with the commonly used materials for fishing nets on the market. "In this case, I will know."

She excitedly clenched her pink fist and said, "The murderer probably trapped the victim with a fishing net. After the hoisting, the victim's flesh would protrude due to the restraint of the fishing net. The pieces of meat are all about the same size and thickness." Then, she frowned again, "But how did he let the victim eat his own meat?"

"Under that kind of fear, the victim will subconsciously follow any instructions of the murderer, hoping to survive." Du Li said.

"Has the murder weapon used by the murderer been identified?" Tang Hegong asked.

"Scalpel." Qin Ling said, "I use this kind."

"Didn't that mean?" Tang Hegong turned pale with shock.

"There is not enough evidence to prove this." Qin Ling rolled her eyes at Tang Hegong, "Teacher, don't doubt yourself about everything."

"It's not that I want to doubt." Tang Hegong sighed, "It's that once people like us do this kind of thing, it will be a disaster."

"In addition, I have already figured out why there are the victim's fingerprints on the plastic bag." Qin Ling ignored Tang Hegong's words, picked up the skinless hand and said, "Look, the murderer is on every finger of the victim." A circular incision was made on the body. After some special treatment, the skin can be completely peeled off and used on your own hands. This method is occasionally used when we press the fingerprints of the deceased in actual work. use."

"Doesn't this mean that the murderer in this case may be a forensic doctor?" Tang Hegong said.

"But it's not just forensic doctors who know this." Facing Tang Hegong's persistence, Qin Ling felt a little helpless, "Now that the Internet is so developed, many seemingly mysterious things have been semi-public or even fully public."

"Do you think this is a kind of punishment in ancient times?" Mu Xue asked suddenly.

"Punishment?" Du Li's eyes lit up, "I see, you are talking about Ling Chi. That's right, Ling Chi. In ancient times, Ling Chi was mainly used to punish three types of crimes: one is the crime of treason against the monarch, including major riots , treason, and seeking the throne. The second is the crime of ethics, including children murdering their parents, younger brothers murdering their elder brothers, wives murdering their husbands, and slaves murdering their masters. The third is crimes of cruelty and inhumanity, including beheading other people's limbs alive, and killing three members of the same family. more than one person, organize gangs to create terror, etc.”

"Then, in this case, the murderer thinks that the two victims have committed the crime of ethics." Zheng Yan smiled and said, "We have investigated, and these two people are notoriously unfilial. In this way , the murderer made the victim kneel in front of the house to understand the purpose, that is not kneeling, but atonement."

As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into another world.

He knew them, maybe not, but at least he knew their lives and their desires.And they would not refuse his invitation.It is such conditions that allow him to get close to the victims and then control them.

They were not on guard against him, but they didn't know that they were walking into the trap he set step by step.When he realized that he was caught in a fishing net, there was no way to escape.

Looking at the victim struggling in the fishing net, his heart is peaceful. He is doing a sacred thing, punishing the sinner with the knife in his hand.

He cut off their hands and carefully peeled the skin off their fingers, not out of cruelty, but as a small preparation to help them.Moreover, with their hands cut off, they can no longer do evil.

He carefully cut off their flesh piece by piece, cooked it in boiling water, and forced them to eat it.He will not let them die easily.Ling Chi, the victim cannot die until the last knife is cut.

He believed that this was what they deserved, and that he was the ruthless executioner.Perhaps he had been telling them this when committing the crime.Although it was an extremely complicated and time-consuming job, he took it easy and had enough patience.

Until they finally couldn't take it anymore and swallowed their last breath in despair.Only then did he speed up the movement of his hands and cut off the last flesh on their bodies. He didn't abandon the flesh, and there was a greater use for it.

He kept their brains and guts, so that they were the dead who still retained the characteristics of being human beings, minds and souls instead of two unconscious skeletons.Under the cover of night, he drove to their parents' house, seeing no one's chance, and also confirmed that only their parents would find out, and asked them to kneel in front of the house.

This is their final salvation.A guilty person should not only accept punishment, but also pray for the forgiveness of the offended.

What follows is their final punishment.The meat that was saved before came in handy at this moment. He put the victim's finger skin that he had prepared before on his hands, and sent them to his own hot pot restaurant, so that more people could taste their meat.

This is their own delivery, this is their self-punishment!

This is the most cruel part of Ling Chi. Every onlooker must eat the flesh of the tortured person, so as to warn himself not to commit the same crime.

"This is what the murderer did." Zheng Yan opened his eyes and said, "When we found the meat, the murderer might have been there. This is something that a high-ranking executioner must do. Let's guess Guess what kind of person he is?"

Tang Hegong said, "He hates evil like an enemy. He can't stand this kind of unfilial behavior. He is also a man of action. He should live alone in a remote place. Zheng Yan, as you said, the execution time is very long. During this period, he will have to force The victims ate their own flesh, and they had enough time to call for help, but the murderer was not afraid, which means that even if they called for help, no one would find out."

"The murderer is carrying out a so-called just revenge." Du Li said, "He has a set of fair rules in his heart. This set of rules is slightly different from the general rules of society, and is more stringent. Things that the law can't do , he will use his own means to punish the victim in order to achieve the fairness and justice in his heart."

"You also said just now that he claims to be a cruel executioner." Du Li continued, "In committing the crime, he was unusually calm, more like a judge who abandoned his personal feelings. I think this has nothing to do with his personality. Daily work should be closely related. In life, he should also play such a role, but laws and rules limit his performance."

"May I think that Sister Lili means that the murderer's work may be related to the law?" Qin Ling sighed inexplicably, and said, "Then let me add something, the murderer is very familiar with the structure of the human body and can It is possible to keep the victim conscious after cutting off most of the flesh and blood of the victim."

"There is one more thing we must not forget." Mu Xue said, "The murderer is familiar with the situation of the two families and their work and rest habits. These two points can be learned through observation. Both victims were brought to court by their father before they were killed. , the law has made a fair judgment, and the murderer may know this through the media. It stands to reason that the victim has paid the price for his actions, but the murderer still brutally killed these two people, which shows that what?"

"The murderer knows the execution of the sentence. This is something that observation and the media will not tell him." Tang Hegong said with a sullen face.

"Based on all the information we have so far, I think we can make such a judgment." Zheng Yan rubbed his swollen temples and said, "The murderer is a person who has access to these two civil cases at the same time. In this case, he played a very important role, pursuing a kind of ultimate fairness. Judge? Lawyer? He has an independent residence without any neighbors. Who can do it? And he is familiar with The structure of the human body, who would it be?"

"A former forensic doctor who changed careers and became a lawyer." Qin Ling said bitterly.
