Crime Profiler 2

Chapter 13 The Hunting Eagle (1)
1
This winter is not destined to be peaceful.

Lin Changhe, the retired old director of the M City Public Security Bureau, looked at the latest internal reference and expressed such emotion.

Dolls with strings in the demolition building in city A, maggots with stumped limbs in the ghost building in city C, human flesh hot pot in the hot pot city of city L... In just three months, three major murders affected everyone in the public security system. The truth hidden behind the case stimulated everyone's nerves even more.

"These little guys are doing pretty well." Lin Changhe glanced at the group photo of Team Z, his eyes fixed on Du Li's slightly haggard face, and then at Zheng Yan standing beside her, revealing A smile.He took off his reading glasses, put them in his pocket, and stood up.

Beside the door, the old golden retriever was looking at him quietly with longing eyes.

"Alright, alright, old man, I'll accompany you out for a walk." He glanced out the window and frowned slightly.It was already six o'clock in the morning, but the sun always came late in winter, and the sky was still gray at this moment, only the street lamps brought a little light to this quiet neighborhood.

In this faint light, the thin raindrops are falling silently. In the severe cold, a winter rain came quietly.For a moment, he was a little lost.

"It turns out that winter is about to pass." Lin Changhe sighed, "I hope there will be another snowfall. I don't know if I can survive the next year."

Talking to himself, he got dressed and opened the door.The old golden retriever walked out unsteadily.

The community where Lin Changhe lives is located in the northern suburbs of City M, and most of the residents in the community are retired old people like him.If it was summer, there would already be people gathered downstairs to chat and chat. However, in such a severe cold season, they would come out before dawn. Only Lin Changhe, who could not be shaken, accompanied the golden retriever downstairs every day.

He tightened his collar tightly to block the invasion of the cold, and walked at a leisurely pace, the golden retriever had already gone far away.He didn't care, everyone nearby knew that the golden retriever was called Jing Jing, Lin Changhe's pet dog, and no one would make things difficult for him.Occasionally get lost, kind people will send it back.

But today's Jingjing is a little different.

It ran to the door of the community security room, lowered its head and sniffed it, then barked wildly, with restlessness and anxiety in its bark, and glanced at Lin Changhe from time to time.But at this moment, Lin Changhe didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't notice Jingjing's abnormality.

Jingjing walked around the door of the security room, then ran back towards Lin Changhe, with something still in its mouth.It put the things in its mouth in front of Lin Changhe as if flattering, Lin Changhe subconsciously wanted to touch Jingjing's head and say a few words to comfort it, but Jingjing stretched out her front paws to him uncharacteristically.

Lin Changhe's eyes suddenly froze.With some trembling, he took out his reading glasses and put them on, glanced at what Jing Jing brought back, and walked quickly to the security room.

The lights were on in the security room, but there was no security guard.Lin Changhe's breathing was a little short, and a bad premonition surged crazily in his heart.

Jin Maojing showed him a bloody paw and a piece of meat from an unknown animal.

"Old He." He called out to the security guard on duty, and waited for a while, but he didn't get any response.

Jinmao Jingjing followed Lin Changhe, raised her head and yelled a few times.Lin Changhe slowly raised his head. In the darkness, there seemed to be a vague figure squatting on the roof of the security room.

Lin Changhe swallowed with some difficulty, took a few steps back slowly, took out his phone, and turned on the flashlight.

Under the harsh light, everything on the roof is no longer invisible.It was a man who had lost his head. He was still wearing a security uniform, but there was no trace of flesh and blood on the exposed part.

There seemed to be something on his shoulders, Lin Changhe couldn't see clearly.And under his feet, there was a human head stepped on, which was the head of the security guard Lao He.

Blood and water mixed with rainwater are flowing down the eaves to the ground.

Lin Changhe backed away slowly, his shoes were soaked in blood, and he couldn't care less.Having worked in the public security line all his life, he knew that maybe the murderer was watching his reaction nearby, and maybe the next moment, he would become the next victim!

More importantly, he could not approach the scene, although the weather may have destroyed the clues.

A gust of wind blew suddenly, and the thing on the corpse's shoulders shook, fell off, and rolled to Lin Changhe's feet.

Lin Changhe's eyes suddenly widened. It was the head of an owl.

In the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Team Z's office, Du Li was lying on the table and dozing off.

Zheng Yan's return did not make the reorganized Z team feel a little easier.The director seems to have decided that they should not be allowed to do so little work with a high salary, and has brought the spirit of "Zhou Pai skin" to the extreme. In addition to the detection of major cases, the Z team also has to review unsolved murder cases in various places. He often goes to local places to guide work, and even goes to the Criminal Police Academy for teaching work.

Most of the time, they are flying around the country.Even Qin Ling and Mu Xue, who have undergone strict training, are a bit too much, let alone Du Li who has been sitting in the office.

A loud "kuang" sound awakened Du Li suddenly. She raised her head in astonishment, and saw Tang Hegong retracting his foot kicking the door with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" She asked, calming down her violent heartbeat.

Tang Hegong didn't answer, his eyes swept across the empty office, except for Qin Ling and Du Li who were sticking to their posts, Zheng Yan and Mu Xue didn't know where to go.

"Where are Zheng Yan and Mu Xue?" He frowned and asked suppressing his anger.

"I don't know, the two of them didn't come to work early in the morning." Du Li shook her head.

"Within half an hour, tell them to come to the office. Qin Ling, book five tickets and ask for the nearest plane, fly to M city!" Tang He Gong ordered.

Qin Ling responded, turned around and opened the booking website.Du Li called Zheng Yan and glanced at Tang Hegong. At this moment, Tang Hegong was putting his feet on the table, his chest was heaving violently, and the gloomy look on his face became more intense.

She had never seen Tang He Gong, who was always laughing and joking, showing such an expression, which made Du Li, who could not change his face in the face of a perverted murderer, a little timid.

"Boss, you just said M City, what happened?" She took a deep breath and asked courageously.

Tang He Gong raised his eyes and glanced at Du Li, without saying a word, he threw a file bag on the table to her.

Du Li opened the file bag in confusion. It was a report from the M city police requesting assistance. At the top of the report was a photo of a headless corpse squatting on the roof, with internal organs and flesh and blood messily scattered around it. .

Du Li's complexion was a little ugly. She hurriedly passed the photo to Qin Ling, and quickly browsed through the details of the report. Her body trembled slightly unconsciously, and her face gradually turned pale.

Xiushui Lake is an artificial lake, a lake where some of Mu Xue's memories are buried.

When she decided to follow the same path as Zheng Yan, she never thought that she would come back here one day.

But a winter rain awakened her memory, completely unconsciously, and she came here by some kind of ghost while changing trains.

Zheng Yan, who was traveling with her, didn't remind or stop her, but just followed behind her silently.

"At that time, Dad taught me fishing here." Mu Xue sat down on the stone bench in the gazebo by the lake, sighed, and said.

"Those things are in the past." Zheng Yan stood beside her and said, "What happened later was too painful, you just need to remember that you had a happy time."

"Yeah, it's all over." Mu Xue pulled out a smile, "There was a happy time, that's enough. You said that so well, sometimes I wonder, am I too greedy?"

"Greedy?" Zheng Yan looked at her puzzled.

"Yeah, it's too greedy." Mu Xue nodded, "You don't belong to me, but I have always occupied you. Isn't that greedy enough?"

"I just did what I thought I should do." Zheng Yan smiled.

"Responsibility, obligation." Mu Xue smiled wryly, "Only I have never considered love or happiness. Our marriage is just a formality, and it is a bondage for you. Although I am very reluctant, but Zheng Yan, I think……"

Zheng Yan raised his hand to stop her from continuing, took out the phone, and after listening to a few words, his face became extremely ugly.

"City M, we have to leave now." Zheng Yan hung up the phone and said.

Along the passage opened at the scene, the team of Z team followed the M city police into the crime scene.

This scene is the best preserved crime scene that Zheng Yan has ever seen.For unknown reasons, the M city police did not touch any items at the scene, but set up a huge shed to block the sight of the crowd and prevent the weather from further damaging the scene.

"Heh, last month we just finished dealing with Ling Chi's case. Why is this case like this?" When he saw the flesh and internal organs scattered on the ground on the roof of the security room, as well as the exposed skeleton limbs of the corpse, Zheng Yan couldn't help exclaiming, "We should not have disclosed the details of that case to the outside world."

"It's obviously different." Qin Ling looked at the minced meat under her feet and said, "Didn't you see that the head was chopped off? The internal organs were also taken out. The minced meat didn't look like it was cut with a sharp weapon, but more like It was torn out by force. It is completely different from that Ling Chi case."

Zheng Yan put on his gloves, bent down, picked up a piece of minced meat, looked at it carefully, and frowned: "The color of the soft tissue is dark red, it is a life reaction, and it may have been torn off when he was alive. Doctor Du, what do you think? The deep hatred of the murderer can make such a move?"

"What?" Du Li was stunned for a moment, and said, "The murderer is probably a bloodthirsty person, and blood can bring him great sensory enjoyment."

Hearing Du Li's non-questionable answer, Zheng Yan shook his head.From the moment she was preparing to leave at the headquarters, Du Li was obviously out of shape. After arriving in M ​​City, this feeling became more and more obvious.But when she arrived at the scene of the crime, Du Li's emotions were not concealed at all. Her mind was not on the case at all, and her eyes were always fixed on a building in the community, as if there was something more affecting her there.

"It may not be a deep hatred." Mu Xue said, raising the evidence bag in her hand, which contained an owl's head, "It is said that this eagle's head was originally placed on the victim's neck to replace his original head, It was blown away because the wind was too strong. The murderer’s move must have some kind of secret that we don’t know yet.”

"En." Zheng Yan nodded, and glanced at Tang Hegong.

"How far has the investigation progressed?" Tang Hegong asked the police in M ​​city.

"It's a great harvest." The person in charge of the scene of the M City Police said, with an extremely relaxed expression on his face, "During the peripheral investigation, we found a whole set of blood-stained clothes in a trash can, and it was identified that the blood belonged to the victim. , but these clothes are not the victim's. We speculate that they should be left by the murderer, who may have been injured. However, it doesn't matter if the murderer's blood cannot be found. There are many hairs on the clothes, which are enough to extract valuable clues. "

"Where is that trash can?" Zheng Yan asked.

"It's at the gate of the community." The person in charge replied.

"So..." Zheng Yan showed a contemplative expression, "After the murderer finished the crime, he threw away his clothes nearby. Did he bring another set of clothes with him?"

"Our investigators don't think so." The person in charge of the scene of the M City Police shook his head, "From the footprints at the scene, the murderer left the scene with his shoes on, and left the scene barefoot after discarding his clothes. Unfortunately, at the scene The carrying object is not ideal, and it is impossible to infer the factors such as the height and weight of the suspect.”

"Then, the murderer is not well dressed, maybe even wearing underwear." Zheng Yan said, "In this case, it should be easy to attract the attention of passers-by." He looked at the scene leader of the M city police with some puzzlement, "From From the current point of view, the murderer of this case has left enough clues, and it is only a matter of time before the case is solved, why did he report it to us?"

"This..." The person in charge of the scene of the M city police scratched his head, "Actually, we didn't plan to report it at first. Now our investigation is only temporarily caught in some difficulties. For example, no one has provided clues about the murderer for the time being, and the surrounding investigation is also temporary. No one was found who had a deep hatred with the victim. Moreover, judging from the remaining footprints, the murderer walked in the direction of the community after discarding his clothes, but the conditions were not good. We can't judge where he went after entering the community. But this The identity of the person reporting the case is a bit special.”

"Oh?" Tang Hegong looked at the person in charge with great interest.

"The person who reported the case was our retired director, Bureau Forest." The person in charge said, "The Bureau of Forestry told us to protect the scene as much as possible and wait for you to come. He said that this case was not done by normal people. Too many clues can only be used as a screening basis in the end, to find the murderer, we have to rely on you."

The person in charge was a little aggrieved, "Actually, give us enough time, and this case will definitely be solved."

"It's him." Tang Hegong suddenly realized, "If it's him, I know what he's worried about. This case is not the end, it's just the beginning!"

"Boss, can you take back that sentence?" Zheng Yan patted his forehead annoyedly, then glanced at the person in charge of the police scene in City M, and said, "I support your point of view of finding suspects in the community. From Judging from the traces at the scene, although it was messy, the murderer was not in a panic, and every step of the procedure was completed perfectly, which showed that he was not afraid of being discovered, or that he knew he would not be discovered. The rules of activities and the routines of residents in the community are very familiar, which is not easy for an outsider to understand. After committing the crime, the murderer took off his clothes and threw them away, walking around in disheveled clothes but no one saw him, which shows that the murderer is hiding nearby, and he lives here The possibility of the community is very large.”

"By the way." Zheng Yan suddenly remembered something, and said, "About the reporter, have you investigated? You can't relax just because you are one of your own. I remember that your information said that the Forestry Bureau was at six o'clock in the morning. The case was discovered when I came out to walk the dog. At that time, it was not normal to go out to walk the dog before dawn."

"It can't be him." Du Li said before the embarrassing M city police chief could answer.

"Why are you so sure?" Zheng Yan asked back.

"If I say no, it's definitely not." Du Li said firmly.

Such Du Li stunned Zheng Yan.

In his impression, Du Li was not an unreasonable person, no matter what time she would put forward sufficient reasons to support her point of view.But today's Du Li has completely lost the elegance and rationality of the past, which makes it difficult for him to accept.

"Come and see what I found?" Zheng Yan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Qin Ling.

At this time, Qin Ling had already stripped off the clothes of the deceased, revealing the victim's skeleton.She carefully inspected the victim's body, then looked at the messy flesh and internal organs, and said, "There are tooth marks, which should be left by the murderer. If I say, the murderer is here, tearing the victim apart with his bare hands." He pulled out the internal organs from his chest, and then used his teeth to tear away the flesh and blood of the victim, do you believe it?"

Zheng Yan and Tang Hegong looked at each other and nodded silently without speaking.In this matter, Qin Ling will not joke.

"The murderer probably doesn't know much about the human body." Qin Ling raised her head, thought for a while, and said, "When pulling out the victim's internal organs, it was too violent and even caused some undue damage. If it was me, I could Taking out a complete set of internal organs of the victim is not a secret technique of the forensic doctor, you can find it by searching the Internet, but the murderer obviously doesn't know about it."

"Or, he doesn't care about these at all." Zheng Yan said.
