Crime Profiler 2

Chapter 14 The Hunting Eagle (2)
"It's also possible." Qin Ling nodded, and continued, "In my preliminary judgment, this is the fatal injury." She pointed to the victim's neck, "The murderer violently tore off the victim's head, causing the carotid artery to rupture. Bleeding to death."

"Isn't this obvious?" Looking at the young forensic doctor, the head of the M city police scene said with some disdain.

"That's not necessarily true." Qin Ling smiled, "The separation of the head and body may also be the dismemberment after death. The main basis for judging whether it is the cause of death or the dismemberment after death is whether there is any life reaction, and the second is to see the blood stains Distribution status. However, if the corpse is dismembered within a relatively short period of time after death, there may also be a life reaction or a small amount of blood. Brother Zheng said just now that the murderer may have dismembered the victim while the victim was alive. I can only say that there is that kind of Possibly, but not entirely agree. Look at the victim’s head, which is covered with a large amount of blood. Obviously, the moment the head was torn off, the beating of the heart was too late to stop, and the blood from the jugular artery splashed on the victim’s on the head."

"Besides, this is not the scene of the first crime." Mu Xue also stepped up and said at this time, "The murderer must have dismembered the victim after he died."

"Why are you so sure?" Tang Hegong asked.

"Because there is no trace of murder here." Mu Xue picked up the head, looked at the stubble carefully, and said, "The murderer violently tore off the victim's head with tools, and it is unlikely to do it with bare hands. Ling'er, after that Pay special attention to this clue during the autopsy."

"When the murderer tore off the victim's head, he needed to immobilize the victim. When he applied his own force, he would leave obvious pedaling or scratch marks. These marks cannot be destroyed by this kind of light rain. But I didn't find it here. .” Mu Xue said.

"I'll give you a clue." Qin Ling caressed the victim's head, with a smile on her lips, "Before the murderer killed the victim, he controlled him. He delivered a blow to the head, rendering the victim unconscious and briefly incapacitated."

Without saying a word, Mu Xue went down the ladder to the roof and walked into the security room.

Like the roof, the city M police did not move anything here, which allowed Mu Xue to easily search for traces.

There is a table near the window in the security room, and a chair behind the table. Usually, the security guards should sit here and observe everyone who enters and exits the community.However, at this moment, the chair fell to the ground, and beside the chair was half a bloody brick.

Mu Xue showed a smile, carefully observed the ground, a few drops of blood stains were clearly visible, but they had dried up at this moment.The blood stains extended to the door, but it was not known where the murderer took the victim to carry out the brutal killing.

That light rain was enough to completely obliterate such faint traces.

"The murderer and the victim are familiar, or at least acquainted." After listening to Mu Xue's inspection of the traces on the scene, Zheng Yan stood in front of the door of the security room, looked at the narrow room and said, "This allows him to enter the security room without causing trouble." Victim alert."

"The murderer should have killed with passion, and there was no clear plan before committing the crime." Du Li, who had been silent all this time, put away her cell phone.The expression on her face told Zheng Yan that her condition seemed to be back, "The tool chosen for the crime was half a brick, which should be picked up at random. It is very likely that the murderer and the victim were together before the crime happened, because Some kind of contradiction, the murderer left, picked up a brick and came back to take revenge on the victim. Judging from the scene of the crime, the murderer’s behavior was extremely messy and cruel, and the psychology of venting cannot be ruled out. What I can’t understand now is why the murderer used the owl’s head in place of the victim's head."

"I don't understand either." Zheng Yan smiled, "But I don't agree with what you said about venting. If you want to vent, you can do it in this room. It's not easy to turn off the lights and abuse corpses casually." But the murderer took the risk of being discovered. After attacking the victim, he took him out of the security room, took him to another place to kill him, and then took him back with painstaking efforts and put him on the roof. There must be something inside some special meaning."

"Don't worry about that, let's find the first scene of the murder first." Tang Hegong said, "Maybe there are more clues waiting for us there."

"It's in this community." Zheng Yan said, "Dr. Du said that the murderer picked up bricks at random, which means that the murderer had no plan at all. After controlling the victim, he should have taken the victim to swim in the community." Let's go, find the right place and the right tools, and kill them on the spot."

"Just to remind you, the murder tool is a wire rope." Qin Ling held a physical evidence bag in her hand, which contained a thin piece of metal, "This thing is a part of the wire rope, which pierced the victim's skin and preserved it. "

"In addition, I suggest that you search all the trash cans in the community." Mu Xue said, "If the murderer threw away blood-stained clothes nearby, then he may have thrown away the tools of the crime nearby."

This is probably the fastest-moving case of all the cases that Team Z has taken on.In less than two hours, clues have emerged one after another, and the distance between the police and the murderer has rapidly narrowed.

The M city police found a blood-stained wire rope in another trash can in the community, and next to this trash can, an agricultural tricycle was parked, and beside the tricycle was a pile of sand and a small tree .

The sand pile seems to have been turned over not long ago, and there are still traces of the previous pile not far from the sand pile.There were fresh scratches on the rear bumper of the tricycle and on the small tree, especially the tree, which had a little bit of blood stains on it.

The investigators borrowed a shovel and turned over the sand, revealing the dark red blood inside.

"It can't be wrong." Looking at these traces, Mu Xue nodded and said firmly, "After the murderer controlled the victim, he brought him here, fixed the deceased's feet to the rear bumper of the tricycle with wire ropes, and A wire rope was looped around the victim's neck to form a fixed pulley with the help of the tree. Then he just..."

She squatted halfway, made a pulling posture, and stepped on the tree with force with one foot, "Just like that, the victim's head was torn off forcefully."

"Wait, what is this?" Mu Xue leaned over to the tree, and carefully put a white fragment into the evidence bag, "White, rubber, this should be something on the murderer's shoe. What shoes are white rubber?" where?"

"Rainboots!" Qin Ling thought for a while and said, "Don't forget, it rained last night, the murderer might be wearing rain boots."

"I don't know if we can find what kind of rain boots. Keep it for now." Mu Xue put away the evidence bag.

"This case is not far from being solved." The person in charge of the police scene in M ​​City said, "I have already arranged for someone to investigate the owner of this car. The murderer is also an idiot. It is probably the first time he committed a crime. Such obvious clues will Stay here, if only we encountered such suspects, it would be great."

"If there is no case, then it's really good." Tang Hegong said with a slight smile.

"That can't work, then we will lose our jobs." The person in charge laughed.

"Unemployment is good. Unemployment shows that our society is in good order and the quality of the people is high." Tang Hegong said, "I would rather be unemployed because there are no cases."

Seeing these two men of similar age talking and laughing, Zheng Yan and Mu Xue looked at each other, their eyes were full of worries that could not be concealed.

"Reiko, prepare to conduct a further autopsy on the victim." Zheng Yan said.

Qin Ling nodded without any objection.

"You don't seem to think this case has been solved." Du Li looked at Zheng Yan and asked.

"Do you think this case has been solved?" Zheng Yan asked, "We have not solved too many mysteries in this case, and after the autopsy, there will be more unsolved mysteries waiting for us. "

"Compared to the boss, I hate your mouth more." Du Li gave Zheng Yan a disgusted look, "He has a crow's mouth, and you, more or less, have some perception of the suspect to make such a move." judgment."

Only an hour later, Zheng Yan's first prediction was confirmed. The police in M ​​city quickly locked the owner of the agricultural tricycle by questioning the residents of the community. When the investigators came to the house, they found that the door was locked and no one answered the door.The eager investigators used some technical means to enter the room, but found that there was no one in the room, and no one had lived in it last night.

But the room is very tidy, and it doesn't look like the murderer fled in fear of crime.

Further investigation revealed that the owner of the car had developed appendicitis a few days earlier and had been in hospital for a week.And his family has been accompanying him in the ward last night.This has been confirmed by patients in the same ward.

The family knew nothing about the case that took place in their own community.

Four hours later, Qin Ling personally confirmed Zheng Yan's second prophecy.

"I won't go into details about the cause of death and the murderer's method of killing. It's no different from your deduction." Qin Ling stood in front of the skeleton, pointed the tweezers at the victim's neck, "Here's the point, I found out Some remnants that didn't belong to the victim, something pasted here."

"Paste?" Zheng Yan was a little puzzled.

"Yes." Qin Ling nodded, "It's that kind of transparent adhesive tape. The murderer should have pasted the eagle's head and skeleton together with transparent adhesive tape to play a fixed role. But because of the rain, the rainwater diluted the adhesive. , so, in the end, the eagle's head still fell off."

"What does the murderer's action mean?" Tang He Gong looked at Zheng Yan and asked.

Zheng Yan shook his head, but did not answer.

"It's not just these." Qin Ling continued, "I also found some strange residues at the wound site. I asked Xiaoxue to take it to the Physical Evidence Division of the M City Public Security Bureau. The results should be available now. "

"It's something very interesting." As soon as Qin Ling finished speaking, Mu Xue pushed open the door of the dissecting room, "The people from the Physical Evidence Identification Section of the M City Public Security Bureau conducted tests on the residues, and they were some drugs. Relieves pain, stops bleeding and promotes wound healing."

Zheng Yan glanced at Du Li, who was also looking at him.Of course, they would not doubt this identification, but the murderer's actions made them puzzled.

He killed the victim with extremely cruel means, bit off all his flesh and blood, and replaced the victim's original head with an eagle's head.These actions are already incomprehensible, but he sprinkled drugs on the wound to relieve pain, stop bleeding and promote wound healing, which makes people even more puzzled.

"These medicines, I always feel, are not for the victim." Du Li thought about his words, and said slowly, "The victim has lost his flesh and blood, and the medicine has no effect on him."

"But the eagle head is different." Zheng Yan nodded, "Although it is only a head, it has flesh and blood."

"Could it be that he wants the owl to be resurrected with this person's body?" Mu Xue said, and then couldn't help laughing, "Every normal person knows that this is impossible."

"Yes." Qin Ling also nodded, "And the victim only has a skeleton left, so it can't provide any nourishment at all, right?"

"But what if the murderer is not a normal person?" Du Li said quietly.

"Not a normal person?" Tang He Gong frowned.

"Yes." Du Li nodded, "We have always believed that this is a case committed by a normal person. We can't understand these weird behaviors when we think about it with a normal person's thinking. But what if the murderer is mentally ill? ?”

"Look." Du Li said, "First of all, through the clothes left by the murderer, we can rule out that children committed the crime. An adult murderer had no plan before committing the crime, and his behavior during the crime was also extremely messy, without any clear purpose at all. It can be said that the murderer was reckless when he committed the crime, and many of his actions were meaningless. The murderer’s behavior of hiding and erasing relevant traces after committing the crime can be described as childish, and the clothes and tools of the crime were discarded at will, leaving a very obvious clues. A normal adult, even if he doesn’t have the anti-reconnaissance ability, still knows that those things should be thrown farther away, or burned. These characteristics are in line with the characteristics of a mental patient. Therefore, the person who made this case, Just a psychopath."

"But the murderer tore out all the flesh and blood of the victim and replaced the human head with an eagle's head. What does it mean?" Zheng Yan frowned.

"Since the crime was committed by a mentally ill person, perhaps these actions have no meaning at all." Du Li said.

"No." Zheng Yan shook his head, "I have a strong intuition that even if he is mentally ill, these actions are not meaningless."

He said, slowly closing his eyes.Tang Hegong and the others subconsciously quieted down, even holding their breath, quietly waiting for the result of his empathy and profiling the murderer's identity.

However, after five long minutes, just when Qin Ling couldn't help taking a big breath, Zheng Yan opened his eyes without saying a word, with a look of disappointment on his face.

"There are many clues, but I can't understand many things." He smiled wryly, "I still can't let go of thinking about eagles."

"This is not like you." Tang Hegong broke the embarrassment, "There are enough clues, and the murderer's behavior has basically been restored. At this time, shouldn't you be able to simulate the murderer's thinking?"

"I..." Zheng Yan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat, and he was still unable to speak.

"Oh!" Mu Xue sighed softly, "He is no longer him."

"What do you mean?" Tang He Gong, Qin Ling, and Du Li all looked at Mu Xue at the same time.

"You all know that the reason why he was able to simulate the thinking and behavior of the suspect is due to the excess of mirror neurons in his brain." Mu Xue glanced at Zheng Yan, and seeing that he had no intention of objecting, she continued, "This is a This double-edged sword made him an excellent criminal profiler, but at the same time, he was in deep pain, unable to distinguish between himself and the murderer. For this reason, he has been very resistant to appearing on the scene. But this time, you guys Don't you see that he no longer resists being present, and that he doesn't show any signs of getting lost?"

Du Li was startled for a moment, then slowly turned her gaze to Zheng Yan.

What Mu Xue said was right, Zheng Yan no longer resisted profiling the suspect, and there was no sign of getting lost.However, this anomaly failed to attract the attention of anyone in Team Z.

"What happened?" she asked.

"A surgery." Zheng Yan smiled with unprecedented ease, as if this secret had always been a burden to him. The number of neurons, so that I can no longer easily feel the murderer's thoughts."

"To some extent, this makes it more difficult for me to solve the case." Zheng Yan took a deep breath, "But don't forget, I have a wealth of experience, so whether it is restoring the scene of the crime or profiling the suspect , as long as there are enough clues, I can still complete it.”

"This is probably a good thing for you." Tang Hegong thought for a while before saying.

Du Li glanced at Zheng Yan with a complicated expression. He spoke very easily, but Du Li, who was engaged in medical work, knew it very well.In his state, how much risk would it take to perform that kind of surgery, and no one knew what kind of surgical sequelae there would be.

What if you can't even get off the operating table?She kind of understood why he would leave without saying goodbye after letting the "chef" do the trick.

Without farewell, there will be no reluctance to part when parting.Without the promise of goodbye, there will be no heartache when we can never see each other again.
