Chapter 23 The Original Sin (3)
"Yes!" Lin Feng looked at Du Li in surprise, "The victim's wallet, the owner of a small business in our city, is as his name suggests, greedy for money, and extremely stingy, because he once made a donation to the disaster area and only donated one yuan, and forbade his subordinates Donations of more than a dollar are known."

"On the day of the incident, that is, last night, when he was at home, he suddenly received a call saying that someone wanted to negotiate a business with him. The person who came was already downstairs with the advance payment. The wallet hurried downstairs, and it was in front of the unit door. Suddenly, a bucket of hot oil was poured over him, causing severe burns all over his body." Lin Feng opened his notebook and said, "The murderer fled the scene quickly after committing the crime. Witnesses said that the murderer was wearing gloves and a mask. It is about 180 centimeters and weighs about 60 kilograms."

"Join the case!" Du Li said.

"Join...Join the case?" Lin Feng glanced at Du Li and then at Zheng Yan, but saw that he was frowning at the moment, thoughtful.

"Officer Du, isn't there enough evidence for the conspiracy?" Lin Feng said, "No matter from the modus operandi or the traces at the scene, there is no evidence to support the conspiracy. It is not suitable for the case of collusion and merger. Next, I think it is better to increase the investigation of the video surveillance of the transportation system to find the vehicle in which Lin Wanru was murdered and the suspect in this case. Officer Zheng, what do you think?"

"I support Dr. Du's point of view." Zheng Yanchang sighed, "Serial murders are not only based on the external form to be used as the basis for a series of mergers. Doctor, please explain in detail."

Regarding the "Seven Deadly Sins", it is widely known as the famous Hollywood crime thriller movie directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.Afterwards, many writers also began to use the "seven deadly sins" as their material for literary creation.

In his masterpiece "Divine Comedy", Dante arranged the seven deadly sins in order of severity, namely lust, gluttony, greed, laziness, anger, envy, and arrogance.

In "Divine Comedy: Purgatory", he conceived a similar punishment for the seven original sins:
Arrogance, beware of arrogance - heavy punishment

Jealousy, beware of jealousy——slit eyes to punish it

Rage, beware of anger—black smoke punishes it

Laziness, beware of laziness - run and punish

Greed, avoid it in greed - lie down and punish it

Gluttony, avoiding delicacy - hunger is punished

Lust, abstinence lies in sex——fire punishment

"After a long development and inheritance, the punishment of the seven deadly sins has gradually evolved into what it is now, lust: smothered in sulfur and fire; gluttony: forced to eat rats, toads and snakes; covetousness: tormented in oil ;lazy: thrown into a snake pit; furious: dismembered alive; jealous: thrown into ice water; arrogance: wheel cracked." Du Li sighed and said, "I just asked you about the background of these victims. Obviously Lin Wanru was a prostitute and committed the crime of lust, so she was suffocated to death by burning sulfur in a confined space; a gourmet was guilty of gluttony, so she was forced to eat rats, toads and snakes; , do I need to say more?"

"The biggest feature of a serial killer is 'fixation', which means that the killing pattern and the target of killing will not change easily, but in fact the most fixed thing is the killing motive." Zheng Yan explained, "This is because the serial killer's killing behavior It is to satisfy a fixed ideal goal in the mind. The content of this goal may be related to one or more people's sex, rights, and even survival, or it may be purely some moral and cultural concepts, but the content is distorted and out of touch with reality. Serial killer Like criminals in general, they go to great lengths to justify their actions and have to revisit their goals at regular intervals."

"I see." Lin Feng nodded, "We met a serial killer."

"If the murderer cannot be caught as soon as possible, he will continue to commit crimes, and the next victims will be killed in turn according to the pattern of the seven deadly sins." Zheng Yan said, "The murderer's next target is lazy people, who will be thrown into the Snake pit."

"What should we do?" Lin Feng asked.

"I don't know too much now." Zheng Yan sighed, "According to Holmes' typology, which classifies killers based on their motives, serial killers can be divided into 'behavior-focused' types who kill quickly and 'emphasized types' who kill slowly. Process type'. For the former, killing is just an act, while for the latter, they kill because they think it is their mission to get rid of a certain group. In this case, the murderer’s motivation and distorted moral and cultural concepts are directly related. Clearly a 'process-focused' serial killer who is exercising his mission. He sees himself as a 'moral referee'."

"Most of the identified serial killers of this type are organized and antisocial. They usually have high IQs, and it is impossible to judge them as killers from their appearance. Serial killers usually act alone, and all of their victims are They are strangers, and most of them kill people without anyone knowing about it. They did not commit crimes on a whim, nor were they motivated by jealousy or greed." Zheng Yan frowned and said to himself.

Seeing that Zheng Yan was gradually falling into her own world, Du Li stopped Qin Ling from waking him up, and said, "Captain Lin, please wake up Officer Mu so that she can re-examine the scene where the purse was killed. If you run away, there may be important clues left at the scene; in addition, the snake breeding bases in the city are strictly guarded. Before the murderer commits the crime, he will conduct a detailed investigation and layout of the crime site. Go to the scene where the gourmet was killed, the murderer may have been injured there, and see if you can find anything."

"Okay." Qin Ling nodded.

"Understood!" Lin Feng also said, glanced at Zheng Yan again, and said with some concern, "Is Officer Zheng all right?"

"It's nothing, he's just analyzing what kind of person the murderer will be." Du Li forced a smile, her eyes fell on Zheng Yan, and she refused to move away.

At this time, Zheng Yan sat down on the chair in the dissecting room, and slowly closed his eyes.

It was not his whim to choose to fume the woman with sulfur in the abandoned brick kiln.

Before deciding to do this, he had planned for a long time, including the layout of the crime location, the selection of the crime target, and the determination of the crime mode.He spent at least a month preparing and observing.Even leaving the observation port on the top of the kiln is deliberate. In addition to considering that the specific gravity of sulfur dioxide produced after burning sulfur is higher than that of air, it will not cause great harm to him, and more importantly, he thinks that he should stand in such a Location.

That night was his first shot, but he didn't have any tension or fear.This is a great cause. Driven by a strong sense of mission, all he has is compassion and calmness.

He wasn't worried that the woman would doubt him, it was inevitable.However, he has the confidence to convince her, not only because of his strong financial resources so that she can make a lot of money, but more importantly, he can give her something that others cannot.

She is a prostitute, no matter how beautiful she is, she still longs for others to treat her as an equal, which is related to a person's dignity, and he makes her feel loved and respected.

So, she followed behind him like a little bird, stepping into the gate of hell.She threw herself into sweet kisses and fiery caresses.Unbeknownst to him, deep loathing is hidden in his seemingly blazing eyes, and awe-inspiring murderous intent is hidden in his wanton display of desire.

What she wanted was to please him, win the heart of this ignorant man, and marry into a rich family.

What he wanted was to kill her, end her despicable and tainted life, and alert the world.

He excused that he had left something on the car, and left temporarily. The lustful woman waited in confusion for his return, but what he waited for was the sudden closing of the door and the rising of flames.

She struggled, she cried for help, she cursed, she begged.

And he just stood on a high place and quietly looked down on all this, without pity or excitement, as an executioner, all he had was a calm and pious record.

He photographed the last journey of her life, a complete and faithful record.

"You will be nirvana in brimstone and flames! Wash away your original sins and become a human being again. Your ending will show the world the way to redemption!"

And all this is just the beginning, there will be more people behind you!
He thought so, and he did so.He carried out the cleaning plan according to the severity of the original sin, turning off the heating and opening the windows not out of mercy, but to let us see his original intention.

What was he thinking about?
He is very disappointed in this world.

He didn't understand why what he saw and encountered was different from what he had learned all along?
Zheng Yan took a deep breath, opened his eyes, looked at Du Li, and asked, "Do you understand?"

"The suspect has a good family education and a good family background. He is gentle and courteous on weekdays. Even when facing women who have stumbled, he can make them feel respected." Du Li thought for a while and said, "He He was indoctrinated to help others, to be strict with self-cultivation, to abide by the concepts of integrity, temperance, generosity, diligence, bravery, tolerance, and humility, to do more charitable things on weekdays, and to have extremely strict requirements on himself. Pass that code of conduct on to others."

"However, he failed." Du Li thought about the words, "he lacks social experience, whenever he does that, what he gets is not a positive response, but ridicule, or even cursing. His simplicity makes him Tasted an unprecedented failure, he grew up in the greenhouse and couldn't accept this kind of setback, but he insisted that what he insisted on would not be wrong, so his psychology began to twist, and he went to another extreme."

"When enlightenment is useless, only punishment can wake them up from their confusion," Zheng Yan said.

"Is the suspect using violence to counter violence?" Lin Feng asked.

"Not exactly." Du Li shook her head. "Punishment is not what he wants. What he wants is a warning. Since we have been reluctant to disclose the case for a long time, he may take the initiative to disclose it."

"Could it be a missionary like a priest?" Qin Ling said suddenly, "Sister Lili, you said that the seven deadly crimes have a strong religious color, and the method chosen by the murderer also has a strong religious color."

"No." Zheng Yan shook his head, "He's not a believer, maybe he came into contact with these things just out of hobbies. But he has never been in a church."

"Why?" Qin Ling asked puzzled.

"The church is full of devout believers, and his sermons will never fail." Zheng Yan smiled slightly, "Besides, what the murderer wants is not a warning, but an enlightenment, and he will use these cases as teaching materials. His listeners interpreted."

"So..." Zheng Yan stood up, walked around, and said, "First of all, before he encountered failure, his living environment was full of people like him, he was educated in a real noble school, Please note that I am not referring to expenses, but what the school taught him, which is the basic knowledge and moral concepts that should be mastered by nobles. Secondly, after he left school and entered the society, he experienced failure and was not reconciled Failure, he wants to pass on what he has learned to more people. Therefore, at this time, he may be a teacher, a young man who has given up family business management, has just come into contact with the real society, has great ideals, and is very popular. Teacher. The professional principle he abides by is to teach students with high moral character. But sometimes he does not know how to do things and sticks to principles. Therefore, others will praise him in front of him, but they will definitely criticize him. He cannot integrate into any A team, although it seems that every team has his shadow. He will not be more than 25 years old, and the course he teaches is moral education! A course that is not important to the school, but it is very important to him .”

"But, where are we going to find such a teacher?" Lin Feng asked with some distress, "There are tens of thousands of teachers in the city, and I don't know when it will take to check them one by one. How many people have died?"

"First of all, this school must have the conditions for electrified teaching, and he will show these photos to the students. Second, he will choose the age group that is most likely to be misled in a person's life for training." Zheng Yan said, "In this way Only then can we guarantee the greatest probability of success. Of course, we can also try another way to narrow the scope of the investigation, Team Lin, give me a map of City K."
