Crime Profiler 2

Chapter 18
"You put it that way, I think that the young man who called the ambulance is very suspicious." Mu Xue thought for a while and said, "Why did he appear at the scene of the crime?"

"Just ask and you will know." Zheng Yan showed a mysterious smile and walked into the woods.

On the edge of the woods, a young man about 180 cm tall, wearing glasses and a peaked cap, was looking at the woods, as if he was looking for something.In his hand was a plastic bag with a feeding bottle in it.

Seeing Zheng Yan's police officer ID, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then showed a puzzled expression.

"Yesterday, someone called an ambulance and picked up a pregnant woman here. Was it you who called the ambulance?" Zheng Yan asked.

"It's me." The young man nodded, "Is there any problem?"

"She died." Zheng Yan stared into the young man's eyes, "died of murder."

The young man's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at Zheng Yan incredulously, "Dead? How is it possible?"

Seeing his reaction, Mu Xue and Du Li looked at each other and sighed. The young man in front of him probably has nothing to do with this case.

"The deceased was found deep in the woods. I want to know, why are you there?" Zheng Yan asked.

"I see. You must suspect that I killed someone." The young man smiled wryly. "Actually, that's why I appeared there." He raised the plastic bag in his hand, and Du Li saw it this time. Clear, the plastic bag is dog food, and it is dog food for pregnant bitches.

The bottle contained a bottle of milk, which should be prepared for a newborn puppy.

The young man is Cheng Ran, a volunteer who belongs to a non-governmental animal protection organization.

The organization Cheng Ran belongs to is weak and can only do some fixed-point feeding and publicity work.According to him, he came to find a pregnant female dog, and the dog's due date should be within a few days.He had seen it a few days ago, and the originally raised belly had shrunk.Strangely, he has not been able to find the puppy until now.Since yesterday, the bitch has disappeared too.

"Take me to the scene to see." Zheng Yan thought for a while and said.

Cheng Ran nodded, and led them into the woods. Behind a dense bush was the place where he found the dead, and there were still bloodstains there.

Fortunately, the objects on site were ideal, leaving a few clear footprints.

"These footprints are of different shoe sizes, but the shading is very similar. They look messy but the owner is not panicked. They should belong to those medical staff." Mu Xue leaned over to look at the footprints, and took out a ruler from the investigation box After measuring it, he said, "This footprint is 43 yards. It is inferred that the owner is about 180 centimeters tall and weighs about 60 kilograms. It should belong to this person." She glanced at Cheng Ran and smiled.

"As for this set of footprints, look." Mu Xue pointed to a set of footprints and said, "The shoe size should be size 41, and the height should be about 175 centimeters. There are messy footprints around the scene, and there are signs of pedaling. If there is no If it’s wrong, it should be left by the murderer. This is the scene of the first crime.” She said, pointing to the blood stains on the ground, “There are splattered and splattered bloodstains, indicating that the deceased was stabbed while standing. "

"The murderer coerced the victim to come here and killed the victim." Mu Xue stood up and said, "However, there is one thing I don't understand. If the victim is coerced into such a place in public, no one will find out?"

"Did you see signs of panic or coercion in the victim along the way?" Du Li asked.

"No, it's even more strange." Mu Xue recalled for a while, and suddenly frowned when she saw a group of footprints, "Wait, these should be the victim's footprints, how could there be footprints in such a shape?"

She said in bewilderment, after thinking about it, she simply imitated the victim's footsteps and stood by the tree.

"It seems that the murderer coerced the victim from behind." Mu Xue said, "The victim showed signs of pedaling backwards, that is, the front soles of both feet exerted force, and the body rushed forward. This can be interpreted as the victim trying to break free from the murderer's grip. But this movement was very light, and then, most of the time, the victim pushed forward and leaned his body backward, which is quite strange."

"Don't you think your standing posture is also very strange?" Zheng Yan said, "Stand with your legs spread apart. In terms of the weight-bearing form of the footprints, the victim needs to hold the tree in front of him with both hands to maintain the standing posture."

Mu Xue adjusted the posture of her feet so that the footprints formed by her feet were more in line with the footprints left by the victim, and her face suddenly turned red.

"Let's wait and see the autopsy results from Lingzi's side. It will provide evidence for our inference." Zheng Yan said, "Notify the police in City G to come and pick up the footprints. Cheng Ran, let me ask you a question. Has anyone had close contact with that dog?"

"Height 175 cm, weight about 70 kg." Mu Xue added.

Zheng Yan's meaning was very clear. Since the murderer was able to find this place, the pregnant bitch disappeared with the pup after giving birth. This cannot be explained simply by coincidence.The murderer should also be familiar with that bitch and know its due date.

"I think of a person who meets the conditions you mentioned." Cheng Ran thought for a while and said, "He's a homeless man, and he often gets Messi something to eat."

The "Messi" in Cheng Ran's mouth is the pregnant bitch.

"Do you know where he is?" Zheng Yan asked.

"Yes, I'll take you there." Cheng Ran turned his head and walked out.

There is a river next to the fitness square, and a railway bridge runs across it. Under the railway bridge, some shacks are messily built. Most of the homeless people in City G live here.

Cheng Ran walked straight to the settlement, and came to a shack with ease.

Squatting in front of the shack was a man of indeterminate age. He had disheveled hair like a bird's nest and was wearing a padded jacket whose original color was no longer visible. He was staring intently at the iron pot in front of him.

The meat was stewed in the iron pot, exuding a strange aroma. The homeless man swallowed his saliva from time to time, but patiently waited for the meat to be cooked.

When a group of people walked in front of him, he noticed that outsiders had broken into his territory, raised his head, and looked at them with guarded eyes.

But the next moment, his eyes changed, and Zheng Yan handed him the police officer's card.

Without the slightest hesitation, the homeless man jumped up and ran, followed by a figure beside Du Li, it was Mu Xue.

Du Li never thought that Mu Xue's seemingly weak body would burst out with such a powerful force. Before he ran far, the homeless man was crushed under Mu Xue.

Of course she didn't know that physical training and necessary grappling training were also compulsory courses in the professor's classroom.He didn't want the students he taught to need the protection of others.

At this time, Zheng Yan squatted in front of the pot with great interest, fiddled with the meat in the pot with a branch in his hand, and a tender little hand emerged from the water.

What was stewing in the pot was a formed fetus.

"Officer, I admit my mistake. I shouldn't have caught stray dogs and sold them to dog meat shops." In the interrogation room of the G City Public Security Bureau, the homeless man lowered his head and said regretfully, but his eyes rolled slyly.

"Don't avoid the important things with me!" The policeman in charge of the interrogation of the G City Police sneered, "I ask you, where did the meat in your pot come from? Do you know what kind of meat it is?"

"Dog meat!" The tramp looked ignorant, but there was a hint of luck in his eyes, "A puppy, the people in the dog meat restaurant don't want it, so I will keep it for myself."

"Do you really think our police are idiots?" The interrogator slammed the table, "Your dog has a pair of human hands? Be honest, have you ever followed this woman?"

The interrogator threw the victim's photo in front of the homeless man.

Seeing this photo, the homeless man shivered.

"Let me tell you." The interrogator said, "This woman is dead, and the child in her stomach is gone. Now we have sufficient reasons to suspect that you are the murderer. It is best to confess obediently before we present the evidence to you. , the nature will be different at that time. Take a good look at the words behind me, frankness is lenient, resistance is strict, you always understand Chinese, right?"

"I said." The tramp shrank his neck and said, "I followed her, it was because I secretly saw her with her big belly doing that thing with people in the woods, I think she is very easy to use. But I didn't kill anyone, and the contents of the pot were given to me by others."

"Who gave it to you?" the interrogator asked.

"I don't know him," said the homeless man. "I didn't see his face. He left the thing outside my door and left, saying that it was a good thing."

"You really don't cry when you see the coffin." The interrogator said coldly, "Will someone give you that thing to eat? Do you dare to eat that kind of thing?"

"What I said is true." The tramp said with tears, "Someone gave it to me last night. I didn't know it was human flesh before making it. He asked me to stew it in a pot with the bread on the outside, saying it was human flesh." The best medicinal materials are almost ripe when I find them."

Zheng Yan stood outside the door of the interrogation room, carefully observing the homeless man's reaction, with a smile on his lips.

The strange footprints left by the woman next to the small tree were actually formed in this way. Although it had been speculated before, he was still a little unbelievable after getting confirmation from the homeless man.

It's winter now, and the outdoor temperature is more than twenty degrees below zero.What kind of person would do such a thing?The tramp's words are false and true, and the suspicion is gradually rising.

When they brought the homeless man back, the investigation by the city G police also made some progress.After investigation, although the victim was seven months pregnant, she would still go for a walk in the fitness square alone every morning, and usually go home before lunch.A few days earlier, the victim had told her family that she was being followed by a homeless man with a pregnant bitch on a leash.

The family advised her not to go out again, or to be accompanied by her family when she went out, but the victim refused.

The vagabond coveted the beauty of the young woman and killed her if he failed to rape her.This inference can be established, but why do you use puppies to replace the fetus in the victim's womb after the murder?Is it just for eating?

Knowing that he might be in danger, the victim still refused to be accompanied by his family and insisted on taking a walk in the square alone. Is there any secret hidden here?
Thinking of this, Zheng Yan couldn't help but frown together.

"The footprints don't match." Mu Xue walked to Zheng Yan's side and said in a low voice, "Although the height and weight are within the error range, the patterns on the soles are wrong, and the wear and tear do not match the footprints at the scene. We may have caught the wrong person. "

"The fetus is right." Du Li sighed while holding a report, "The identification of the technical department of the police in G City shows that the fetus and the victim are related. In other words, the fetus came from the victim's belly. It was taken out of it. It's a pity that I haven't had time to come into this world yet."

"Whether it's him or not, this incident alone can punish him." Zheng Yan patted Du Li on the shoulder, "Go and see the boss and Lingzi."

"It doesn't matter here?" Mu Xue asked.

"Let them do their own thing. If they're lucky, the homeless man might be the real murderer. If it's a little bit worse, he should have seen the murderer." Zheng Yan shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, from his mouth we Probably nothing. We are still some distance away from the murderer."

"Cause of death determined. Excessive blood loss."

When Zheng Yan, Mu Xue, and Du Li returned to the morgue of No.1 Civilian Hospital in G City, Qin Ling had just completed the autopsy, and the autopsy had not yet been stitched up.Seeing them come back, she straightened her bangs on her forehead and said.

To Zheng Yan's surprise, Tang Hegong was not here at this time.

"The bruises on the neck are pure restraint injuries, not fatal, and the victim has no signs of suffocation. Several doubts are mainly concentrated here." She knocked on the tray beside her, and there was the puppy inside, At this time, he had already been mutilated to pieces. "The murderer obviously had some medical knowledge. Although the technique of cutting the abdomen was jerky, the position was well-placed. He was taking out the victim's fetus and putting the pup into the victim's uterus. Finally, he made a strange move, connecting the placenta of the fetus to the umbilical cord of the pup."

"Connection?" Zheng Yan and Du Li looked at each other puzzled.

"Yes." Qin Ling nodded, "This behavior is very unusual, what does it mean, sister Lili should be able to analyze it?" She smiled, and continued, "So, I took advantage of the situation to treat the puppy as well. An autopsy was performed and one thing was confirmed."

"What's the matter?" Zheng Yan asked.

"This puppy suffered from congenital heart disease and died shortly after birth," Qin Ling said.

"This son of a bitch!" Zheng Yan opened his mouth and spat out a curse word, "The murderer did this in the hope that the pup would be resurrected in the pregnant woman's womb, right?" He looked at Du Li.

Du Li nodded, with a gloomy face, "Normal people can't do this kind of thing, and it's impossible for them to have such unrealistic thoughts."

Zheng Yan took a deep breath and was about to close his eyes.Qin Ling suddenly said, "Brother Zheng, don't rush to profile, I still have a little discovery."

"Is there any other discovery?" Zheng Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "We have extracted the semen that might be the murderer, right?"

"Yes." Qin Ling looked at Zheng Yan in surprise and nodded, "It seems that you have discovered a lot at the scene. The victim had sex before his death."

"Sexual assault?" Zheng Yan frowned.

"Please pay attention to my wording, it's sex life!" Qin Ling corrected, "The pre-test of the victim's vaginal sperm spot was positive, and the sperm spot was extracted from the swab, which has identification value. The teacher has sent it to the laboratory of the Public Security Bureau of G City However, the victim was seven months pregnant at the time, and having sex was a very dangerous thing, which could easily cause the fetus to be born prematurely. What is even more strange is that the victim's vaginal opening was not obvious, and the damage inside the vagina was also It’s not obvious, there’s a lot of secretions, and they’ve been sent to the lab together.”

"Is that so?" Zheng Yan thought for a while, and said, "Xiaoxue, tell the boss to let him extract the DNA of the victim's husband by the way, and make a match with the fetus and vaginal sperm spots."

"Should we strictly control the victim's husband?" Mu Xue asked.

"There are some things I haven't figured out yet." Zheng Yan said, "By the way, find out all the social software of the victim and see if you find anything. The rest of the matter, wait for the identification results to come out."

Early the next morning, when Zheng Yan arrived at the task force, Tang Hegong, Mu Xue, Qin Ling, and Du Li were already in the meeting room, and their tired faces were mixed with unconcealable frustration. G city police task force leader's face still reveals a bit of stubbornness that refuses to admit defeat.

"It seems that you found a lot of things in one night, but the suspect refused to plead guilty, and you didn't find any other evidence, right?" He pulled up a chair, sat down and asked.

"The technical department confirmed through DNA matching that the sperm in the victim's body belonged to another unidentified person." Tang Hegong glanced at Zheng Yan and said, "It is related to the victim's fetus. The estrogen in the victim's vaginal secretion is much higher than normal value."

"So you suspect that the victim's husband is suspected of committing a major crime?" Zheng Yan asked, thought for a while, and nodded again, "The victim went to the fitness square at a fixed time every day and refused to be accompanied by his family. It is indeed possible that he was dating someone. The victim's Husband finds out about this, kills victim after last date with lover. Makes sense in theory."

"The problem is that we have controlled the suspect and investigated his movement trajectory that day. He has no time to commit the crime." The task force leader of the police in G City said angrily, "We also considered whether it might be a homeless person." The traitor killed the victim, but the DNA doesn't match."

"Have you investigated the victim's lover?" Zheng Yan asked, "Didn't the homeless man say he had seen it?"

"It's useless, he can only describe the approximate height, and the victim's lover wears a mask every time he appears." The task force leader shook his head and said.
