Chapter 21 The Original Sin (1)
1
At the turn of spring and summer, Du Li's prophecy unfortunately came true.

The spiritual pillar of Team Z (Qin Lingyu), the leader of the square dance who can never be surpassed (Tang Hegong’s self-assessment), and the person who is hated by women of all ages (Du Liyu). The ulceration of the foot was so severe that he could not walk and had to be admitted to the hospital for treatment.

But his hospital life is not boring, everyone in Team Z has become his personal nanny.In addition to their normal work, they spend most of their time in the hospital.

"The water is a bit cold!" Tang Hegong said leisurely while half lying on the hospital bed.Qin Ling, who was waiting for him to wash his feet, added some boiling water without saying a word.

"Dr. Du, I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be pretty good." Seeing Du Li peeling an apple neatly without breaking the skin, Tang Hegong praised sincerely, "I thought that a workaholic like you has no love for housework." Well, but now I want to eat durian even more!"

"If you want to be kicked out of the ward by your fellow patients, don't talk about durian, I can get you stinky tofu if you want." Du Li stuffed the apple into Tang Hegong's hand and said coldly, "And it's the scene Fry it for you."

"From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, durian is hot and stagnant in nature. People with hot gas temperament or sore throat, cough, cold, tracheal sensitivity and diabetic patients are not suitable for consumption; from the point of view of western medicine, durian contains high calories and sugar. , 100 grams contain 147 calories, so obese people should eat less, and people with diabetes should not eat. In fact, even apples should be eaten less." Qin Ling said, cleaning Tang Hegong's toes carefully.

"How can I say that I'm also a patient, and shouldn't the patient's request be satisfied unconditionally?" Tang Hegong took a bite of an apple and said with a sigh, "I don't have that kind of life. I'll be bullied by you even if I'm hospitalized!"

"Reasonable demands will be met." Du Libai glanced at Tang Hegong, "Unreasonable demands will only lead to resistance! If you want me to hate you, please continue."

"Speak as if you don't hate me." Tang Hegong pouted, "Zheng Yan, Xiaoxue, last time you said that the professor did a characteristic analysis of serial killers? Let's hear it."

"Boss, you are also an expert in this field. Why do you listen to the professor? Differences in the living environment and cultural environment at home and abroad will lead to obvious differences in the characteristics of the murderer. The professor's method may not be suitable in China." Mu Xue said.

"The professor is a graduate. He has studied the behavior analysis of serial killers all his life. He is called a professional; our boss is a graduate of Pheasant University. Solving the case depends on luck. Haven't you noticed that he can play less and less now?" Zheng Zheng Yan smiled and said, "He took the opportunity to steal the teacher, you have to ask for tuition."

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!" Tang He Gong gave Zheng Yan a blank look.

"Generally people think that to judge whether a serial killer commits a crime, it is mainly identified from the murderer's killing pattern." Mu Xue thought for a while, and said, "Most serial killers have very fixed killing patterns, time, characteristics of the target, weapon, method, abandoned The location of the dead body, etc., often have similarities or even the same every time, and will not change unless there is a major change, so it is easier to infer the conditions and characteristics that the serial killer may have. "

"However, the professor believes that this kind of judgment basis cannot completely cover all serial murder cases." Mu Xue said, "There is a serial killer with the same motive but completely different modus operandi. The technique can usually be found in some codes. The professor called this kind of killer a 'moral judge', and in real work, it is often easy to be ignored because there is no similarity between the victim and the scene of the crime."

"Therefore, the professor believes that to judge whether a serial killer commits a crime, one must first look at whether the murderer's killing pattern has obvious signs, and secondly, whether the victim's identity background is special. Based on this, it can be inferred whether the murderer's motive for killing is the same, and then This is to judge whether it is a serial killer." Zheng Yan took an apple and took a bite, and said, "But one thing is for sure, all serial killers are crazy. Of course, the professor's analysis is to combine vendetta and hired murder. Homicide is excluded."

"Generally people think that a serial killer must look like a lunatic or a lunatic, with low moral character, but in fact it may not be." Mu Xue said, "Most serial killers look like ordinary people, even charming, and have noble sentiments or strict morals. Many of them are highly educated. The famous serial killer Ted Bundy is the best example. He was a talented student majoring in Chinese language at the University of Washington. He dropped out of school and returned to the University of Washington to study psychology after many years. He even threw himself into politics, serving as a campaign assistant to Ross Davis, chairman of the Washington State Republican Party, at the height of his political career."

"Ted Bundy, born on November 1946, 11 and executed on January 24, 1989, formerly known as Theodore Robert Cowell, was a serial killer in the United States who was active from 1 to 24. In his He escaped from the county jail twice before being arrested for the last time in February 1973. After his arrest, he completely denied his crimes and did not admit to committing more than 1978 murders until more than a decade later. However, the real number of victims is still unknown, and it is estimated to be between 1978 and 2, generally believed to be 30. He once assisted the police in analyzing another serial murder case in prison, which was the case of the famous "Green River Killer". De analyzed the psychological characteristics of the Green River Killer with his "unique" perspective and thinking mode. Bob Keppel, the person in charge of the "Green River Killer" case, also visited the highly martial law prison several times. Bundy. This plot was later used for reference by "The Silence of the Lambs". And Ted's analysis has indeed played a great role in the investigation of the 'Green River Killer' case." Seeing Tang Hegong's bewildered face, Du Li said.

"The professor hasn't studied how to screen and control serial killers at an early stage?" Tang Hegong asked, "Based on what I know about him, it is impossible for him not to do research in this area."

"Of course." Mu Xue and Zheng Yan looked at each other and said, "The professor participated in a project, and after brain scans, he found that the brain structure of some serial killers was different from that of ordinary people. Screening out the serial killer hypothesis early on, but don't you think that's a violation of human rights? So the professor ended up dropping the study."

"Whether a person will become a murderer in the end depends to a large extent on the influence of the day after tomorrow." Du Li said, "It's like raising a wolf with sheep since childhood, and the wolf will eventually become a vegetarian. So from Biological identification of serial killers is unreliable, and most serial killers' behavior is related to their childhood experiences."

"I really want to catch a serial killer and study it." Tang Hegong said fascinatedly, "The kind that can communicate with people normally."

Zheng Yan stretched out his hand to cover Tang He Gong's mouth, but he still took a step too late, and could only look at him dumbfounded: "Boss, how many times have I told you, can you stop talking about these things?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Secretary Yu appeared in front of everyone with an apologetic smile.

"Look, what did I say?" Zheng Yan looked at Tang Hegong sadly.

"I didn't come at the right time?" Secretary Yu looked puzzled.

"How should I say it? Whenever I see you, I think it's not the right time." Zheng Yan sighed, "Is there a new case?"

"You know?" Secretary Yu looked at Zheng Yan in surprise, and his expression softened immediately, "I'm worried about how to speak. Let's see for myself." She took out a file from her bag, handed it to Zheng Yan, and said .

The case happened three days ago in K city.

There is an abandoned brick factory in the outskirts of K City, which is a paradise for local children.Three days ago, several children wanted to explore the abandoned brick kiln, but found that several exits of the brick kiln were blocked.Curious, they opened an exit together, and a pungent smell of rotten eggs came to their faces, making them all dizzy.

The ignorant and fearless children broke into the brick kiln, and after a while they felt dizzy, nauseous, had difficulty breathing, and coughed constantly.Symptoms were relieved only after the children exited the brick kiln.

But during their brief entry, they saw what appeared to be a woman lying halfway inside the brick kiln.

After receiving the report, the K city police rushed to the scene and found the woman dead.The forensic autopsy found that the deceased had signs of pulmonary edema, combined with the children's description, toxicology tests and traces at the scene, a judgment was made that the deceased died of sulfur dioxide poisoning.

The forensic doctor of K City also found that the hands of the deceased were bloody and bloody, and the trace inspection detected the blood of the deceased at several exits. Apart from this, the deceased had no other trauma.

Combined with some traces left at the scene, the K city police deduced that after the deceased entered the brick kiln, someone ignited the sulfur that had been arranged earlier, and sealed the exit of the brick kiln.The sulfur dioxide produced after the burning of sulfur poisoned the dead, but the death of people from sulfur dioxide poisoning was a long process. Before dying, the dead struggled hopelessly and called for help.But in this remote suburban, abandoned brick factory, she ends up waiting in despair.

The K city police found a mobile phone at the scene. The data in the mobile phone had been completely deleted and could not be recovered, and the calling card was also taken away.

When it was discovered, the mobile phone was in the text message editing interface, "You will be nirvana in brimstone and flames!" Such a text message was in the state of being edited.

Three days passed without any progress in the case.

"It's been three days. The work efficiency in City K is also good enough." Zheng Yan shook his head and said.

"I have worked very hard." Secretary Yu said, "There are too few traces of the suspect left at the scene, no fingerprints, no footprints, although the victim's belongings are not lost, but no relevant documents have been found, and now there is not even a source of corpse. Yes, but the nature of the case has not been determined."

"From the scene description and photos, it can be seen that the brick kiln was blocked from the outside. The deceased was definitely unable to complete it by himself. The possibility of homicide is very high. The deceased showed signs of struggling to escape, and even suicide was carried out with the assistance of external forces. In any case, this is a criminal case. In my opinion, this text message will become an important clue." Mu Xue said, "If the victim edited it herself, why didn't she leave the murderer's information? This is obviously left by the murderer , what does the murderer want to tell us?"

"It's not property infringement, nor is it like a vendetta, because there is no sign of venting; the autopsy report did not mention that the victim was sexually assaulted." Tang Hegong thought hard, "The time of death of the victim was at 2:10 the night before. According to calculations, she entered the scene of the crime around [-] o'clock in the evening. So late, why did she go to such a remote place?"

"I see." Tang Hegong clenched his fists excitedly, "Look at you guys saying I'm the general secretary of the Soy Sauce Party! I think the victim and the murderer are acquainted, most likely a couple. Only in this way will the victim be willing to meet the murderer. That kind of place. Then the victim and the murderer should be quite familiar with that area and live nearby. As for the text message, the murderer deliberately disturbed our sight!"

"Boss, your inference is reasonable, but the investigation by the City K police has found nothing and cannot prove your reasoning." Du Li said, "You should talk about your second thought."

"Stop talking!" Zheng Yan shouted hastily.

However, Tang Hegong said indifferently: "The victim and the murderer did not know each other. The murderer used some reason unknown to us to deceive or coerce her to that place, and then carried out the murder. From the point of view of the modus operandi, the murderer is obviously a pervert. .”

Hearing what he said, Zheng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but Tang Hegong smiled strangely and continued: "Go, my Pikachus, this time you may be dealing with a serial murder case!"

Zheng Yan's urge to kill Tang Hegong has never been so strong.Even Qin Ling viciously poured the remaining boiled water in the kettle into the footbath. Listening to Tang Hegong's howls like killing a pig, her mood improved a little.

"It was like this when we received the report and rushed to the scene." Team Z arrived at the scene of the crime immediately after arriving in K City, accompanied by Lin Feng, the deputy head of the Criminal Police Detachment of the City Bureau.

Lin Feng pointed to the abandoned brick kiln protected by a warning tape, and said: "All the exits of the brick kiln have been artificially blocked. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find any valuable clues from the materials. Only children were detected at the exit." fingerprints."

Zheng Yan didn't speak, and looked back at the way he had come.

Between the main road and the brick kiln is a dirt road that can only accommodate two people walking side by side, with withered grass on both sides.The snow had not completely melted, and would have left footprints of the murderer and the victim. However, at the turn of spring and summer, the snow was between melting and freezing, washing away the traces.

He glanced at Mu Xue, and Mu Xue shook his head helplessly: "I didn't find it, but there were no traces left on the grass on both sides, at least it shows that the victim did not struggle or escape during the process of entering the brick kiln."

"Go in and have a look." Zheng Yan said.

Led by Lin Feng, the Z team entered the brick kiln along the passage opened on the site.With the help of the flashlight he brought, Zheng Yan noticed that the place where the deceased fell was located in a corner not far from the opened exit of the brick kiln.He glanced at the photos he brought. When he was discovered, the victim was sitting against the wall with his head raised. At that time, the rigor had already formed, and the expression of the victim when he was dying could not be seen.

But Zheng Yan thought, she must be helpless, fear accompanied by despair.

On the unopened exit, there are irregular wipe-like and shake-off blood stains and scratches left by the victim when he tried to escape.Panic and fear accompanied her through the last journey of her life.

"These are?" Mu Xue walked to the wall at the exit, where the physical evidence signboard left by the physical evidence identification department of K City Public Security Bureau was inserted.

"This is the place where the footprints are most concentrated." Lin Feng explained, "In addition to the victim's footprints, we also found another person's footprints, but the footprints are too messy and have been covered and wiped, so they have no screening value."

"Not only that." Mu Xue leaned over to check the set of footprints, "The footprints of the two people intersected obviously, and it seems that they were entangled. Was there a fight between the victim and the murderer?" After she finished speaking, she shook her head, "No, the victim There are no external injuries, no restraint injuries, and no coercion injuries on the body, it doesn't look like a fight."

She moved the beam of the flashlight to the wall, and frowned. A large piece of dust deposited on the wall had obviously been wiped.

"The victim once leaned against the wall." Seeing Mu Xue staring at the wall, the task force leader quickly said, "We thought that the murderer controlled the victim here, but we couldn't find strong evidence on the victim. We have so far been unable to confirm the nature of this case."

"Interesting." Zheng Yan smiled and asked, "I noticed a detail. The other exits of the brick kiln are all made of bricks, but this one is made of wood, right?"

"Yes." Lin Feng nodded and said, "It's a wooden door, locked with a lock from the outside. The door has been brought back to the bureau for further inspection. The source of the lock is also being investigated, and there is no progress for the time being. There." He pointed to the corner on the right side of the entrance, "it is the place where the sulfur is piled up. The murderer put a cotton rope soaked in gasoline on the sulfur, and the other end passed from under the door to the outside. We speculate that this is a Premeditated murder, the murderer arranged the scene in advance, lured or coerced the victim to come here, closed the door, lit the cotton rope outside the door, and then ignited the sulfur, killing the victim."

"It's very reasonable to restore the scene." Zheng Yan said, "But I saw that the victim's mobile phone was found in her hand. Did the murderer enter the scene after the victim's death?"
