Crime Profiler 2

Chapter 6
Unlike most "ghost buildings" that are non-existent, all adventurers who have explored "ghost buildings" unanimously stated that this is a real "ghost building", although they did not provide any substantial evidence.

One explorer described his adventures this way:
A group of five of us came under the "ghost building", and the faces of our teammates were not very good.Before we came, we asked many local people, and they all advised us not to enter the "ghost building".

"What are you afraid of? There are no ghosts in this world." I cheered up the team members like this, and turned on the strong flashlight.

There was no moon that night, and flashlights were our only means of lighting.

We walked into the "ghost building".As soon as we entered, a gust of wind came blowing, damp, cold, mixed with a strange smell, that smell made us dizzy.When we were outside, we could smell the smell, but we just thought it was a peculiar smell of a place that had been abandoned all year round, and didn't take it seriously.

Now it smells like a strong rancid smell.

Gathering our minds, we split up to find the passage upstairs. Although this kind of unfinished building has not been completed, there are always stairs.Oddly enough, we went around the ground floor and couldn't find the stairs.

"Who's there?" a teammate suddenly shouted.

We followed the prestige and found a black hole on the wall at some point, and a figure flashed through it.

I clearly remember that that place turned out to be just a wall.

I walked over carefully, and found that the black hole should be a reserved elevator shaft. I ventured to look into it, and the dizzy smell became more obvious.But I didn't see that figure.

At this time, the sound of gurgling water suddenly came from behind me, and I turned around suddenly, but almost collapsed.You know, as a "ghost building" explorer, I think I am so courageous that I am not afraid of anything, but the scene in front of me makes me unable to control the trembling of my body.

Under the light of the strong flashlight, on the wall opposite me, the intact wall was oozing liquid, which was bright red blood.

My teammates seemed to be going crazy at the moment, some were hiding in the corner shivering, some were running aimlessly, some were pinching their own necks, their eyes protruding.

I finally couldn't help screaming, but I have no memory of what happened after that.

When I opened my eyes, I was in the hospital, and so were my teammates.The doctor said that we were seen lying on the side of the road, each with bottles in their hands.The alcohol concentration in our blood has reached 300mg/100ml, if it is a little higher, we are going to see Hades.

The strange thing is that we didn't smell of alcohol, and I remember very well that we didn't touch a drop of wine that night.Even, he did not carry any alcohol-related items with him.

"Lingzi, what do you think?" Du Li asked after reading the reports on the "ghost building" on the Internet.

"I have no idea." Qin Ling, who just took a shower, wiped her hair and said with a smile, "Sister Lili, what do you think is the relationship between Brother Zheng and Xiaoxue? You say they are husband and wife, but they don't live together at all. The two business trips also live in separate places. If they say no, they both admit each other's identities. "

"When did you become so gossip?" Du Libai glanced at Qin Ling, "Look carefully at this paragraph, I think there are important clues hidden in it."

"Sister Lili, you are studying psychology, and Xiaoxue is engaged in criminal investigation. If you want to overwhelm her in this kind of matter, I don't think you have much chance of winning." Looking at the coldness slowly escaping from Du Li's eyes , Qin Ling quickly raised her hand, "Okay, okay, I'll take a good look. Huh?" Qin Ling moved the mouse quickly, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"Sister Lili, if these people are telling the truth, I think there will be a few more pieces of information about the suspect. First, the murderer may be a doctor. Knowing that the blood alcohol concentration reaches 400mg/100ml may be Many people have died, but the alcohol concentration in the blood can be controlled below the critical point without drinking alcohol, and the state of drunkenness can only be injected. This is not a simple technical problem, and more experience is needed. Accurate Judging the physical characteristics of the victim and deciding how much alcohol to inject may require methods such as laboratory tests. Second, the article repeatedly mentioned 'taste', and then these people 'hell'. We all know that in this world There are no ghosts at all, I suspect, that 'smell' is the main reason why they see ghosts, what could it be?" Qin Ling looked at Du Li and said.

"Hallucinogenic potions!" Du Li said affirmatively, "There are many potions that have hallucinogenic effects. The environment at that time would make these explorers highly nervous. Under the catalytic effect of the potions, they would see some hallucinations. But this potion Not everyone can get it, even psychologists are strictly controlled when using this drug on their patients."

"This further shows that the suspect may be a doctor." Qin Ling said, "But what is his purpose for doing this? As far as the current situation is concerned, knowing this purpose will be more beneficial for us to locate the suspect."

"Didn't Team Leader Chen say that it's a cover-up?" Du Li said, "Haunting ghosts is actually safer than killing them."

"What do you mean?" Qin Ling asked puzzled.

"Lingzi, tell Zheng Yan about the things we analyzed tomorrow. In addition, during the on-site inspection, you should focus on whether there are traces of burning certain plants, and it is best to find the residue." Du Li did not answer Qin Ling's question, Instead, he stood up, took his coat and put it on. "It is impossible to use liquid medicine on site. It is very likely that some kind of plant was burned. Compared with medicine, plants are easier to obtain."

"Okay." Qin Ling nodded, her eyes still fixed on the computer screen, she woke up suddenly when she heard the sound of the hotel door opening, "Sister Lili, where are you going?"

"I'm going to make sure what those people said is true." Du Li said without looking back.

"Doctor Du is still struggling with this matter?" Early the next morning, when he heard that Du Li went to verify the reports on the Internet overnight, Tang Hegong looked at Zheng Yan with a strange expression.

"The idea is good, but the method is a bit stupid. They can't provide direct evidence, not even indirect evidence." Zheng Yan smiled and stuffed the last bun stuffed with leeks into his mouth, " Alright, let's go to the scene, they are almost finished packing. Xiaoxue, give me a piece of chewing gum. I don't know which idiot arranged breakfast, steamed buns stuffed with leeks, thanks to him coming up with it, it's just for us to freshen our breath all day. .”

"Zheng Yan, can't you be more lenient to Dr. Du?" Mu Xue took out chewing gum from her bag, handed it to Zheng Yan, and couldn't help but said, "After all, she is not a criminal investigation professional."

"Then she should not participate in this kind of work that we should do." Zheng Yan said.

"You!" Tang Hegong sighed and shook his head, "Xiaoxue, give me a piece of chewing gum too."

"The smell of chives is better than stinky, right? Steamed buns, better than rice?" Qin Ling said with a cold face, ignoring the surprised eyes of Tang Hegong and Zheng Yan, and left the restaurant.

City C police moved much faster than Team Z expected. When they arrived at the scene, City C police had basically cleared a passage.The trace inspector is looking for footprints and fingerprints on the stairs and walls according to the previous prompts of the Z team.

"From a preliminary point of view, we should be able to make a major breakthrough today." Captain Chen said with a little excitement, "We have found several sets of footprints and fingerprints with screening value."

"Don't get too excited, these can only be used to identify, not to lock down the murderer." Tang Hegong said, "The top priority is to confirm the identity of the victim as soon as possible and start an investigation around the victim."

"I heard that Police Officer Zheng has the ability to 'see' the suspect, why not use it?" Captain Chen looked at Zheng Yan and asked in a low voice.

"That's called criminal profiling, it's not seeing the suspect." Tang Hegong said, "Criminal profiling can describe some behavioral characteristics and psychological state of the murderer. If the conditions are right, it can infer the murderer's occupational information, age, etc. .However, these are also reasonable speculations supported by on-site evidence, and the current conditions are obviously not enough."

Several policemen in chemical protective suits were stacking the corpses of maggots cleaned up from upstairs to the open space, preparing to burn them on fire.Zheng Yan quickly walked over to stop it, and squatted beside the pile of maggots to look carefully.After a while, he shouted: "Xiaoxue, come and have a look."

"What?" Mu Xue heard the words and walked over.

"Have you noticed that these are different from the maggots we usually see?" Zheng Yan asked.

"What kind of maggots do you usually see?" Mu Xue looked at Zheng Yan suspiciously, and said with some embarrassment, "I rarely see this thing."

"That's right." Zheng Yan stood up, clapped his hands and said, "When I was a child, my home was a dry toilet, and I've seen this kind of thing a lot. But I don't remember seeing such a big one with a tail. "

"It's Lucilia sericata." Qin Ling walked over, holding an evidence bag in her hand, picked up a few maggots and put them in, and said, it's the mung bean fly we often say.Generally speaking, mung bean flies are the earliest insects that eat corpses.Forensic doctors sometimes roughly infer the time of death of the victim by studying the reproduction cycle of mung bean fly larvae, or judge whether the body has been moved through the reproduction status. "

She glanced at the corpse of the maggot in the bag again, frowned, and sighed: "But if this place is dedicated to cultivating this kind of thing, it won't be of much value for identification."

"A dead horse is a living horse doctor, and there may be something discovered." Tang Hegong stepped up and said, "Don't forget, many cases are solved by coincidence. Let's go up, the scene is almost cleared."

After a simple cleaning, the maggots on the ground have basically been wiped out, and the meat pieces have been picked off and sent to the funeral home. After re-examining the scene, Team Z will go to the funeral home to inspect the body pieces.

"Look here." After entering the crime scene, Qin Ling squatted down in a corner not far from the entrance, where the ground was actually purple-black.She took out the test paper from the investigation box and rubbed it vigorously on the ground, dripped a few drops of the reagent, and the test paper slowly turned emerald blue, "The occult blood pre-test was positive, and there is a lot of blood precipitation here. What does it mean?"

"The murderer killed people here." Zheng Yan said, "Strange, where did the other body parts go? If I remember correctly, the hanging body parts are not complete. I'm afraid they can't be spliced ​​together, right?"

"There are more strange things than that." Mu Xue said, "Judging from the distribution of the bloodstains, most of them are in the form of streams, without splashes or throwing, which shows that the victim has lost the ability to resist when the murderer killed the body. The killer did not see the need for drastic action."

"If the victim loses the ability to resist, before then, the murderer must have done something harmful to the victim, or completed the action downstairs. But there was no trace of dragging at the scene." Mu Xue frowned, "This I can't understand one point. Another point is that after dismembering the corpse, in addition to leaving some corpse parts for cultivating maggots, other corpse parts also need to be processed. From the current point of view, only a small part of the corpse parts are used to cultivate maggots. The rest of the body is the big head, did the murderer take all of them away?"

"No." Zheng Yan shook his head, "Then the murderer had the act of dumping the corpses. It is impossible for the police in City C not to have received relevant reports for such a long time. I am inclined that the murderer disposed of these corpses nearby."

"Those stumps may be in this building." Tang Hegong said, "Immediately order the police in City C to search the entire building."

"Teacher, come and see this." Qin Ling said, "I don't think we need to search the whole building."

She pointed to several groups of bloody footprints on the ground and said.These bloody footprints stretched from the first scene where the suspected victim was killed until they disappeared by the wall.Along the way, the blood dripping and splashing formed a bright band of blood.There is no need for identification, and it can be judged by the naked eye that more than one person has walked on this road.

"These footprints don't belong to a single person." Mu Xue identified them, and said, "I'm afraid there are no traces of the murderer. No, there are too many suspicious points in this case, and I obviously feel that my brain is not enough."

"Have you noticed that besides the staggering walk, there are also traces of crawling." Zheng Yan approached the wall along the bloodstain.

"Yeah." Mu Xue observed the bloodstain and said, "There are throwing bloodstains, but they are not very obvious, which means that the victim did not move vigorously when moving. Strange, isn't it running away?"

"Not only was there no intense exercise, but in my opinion, he was also very careful." Zheng Yan said, "The blood disappeared here, and it stopped abruptly. Isn't it a bit strange?"

He walked to the wall and knocked hard on the wall. The wall didn't make a bang, but a thud on the wooden board.

A smile appeared on Zheng Yan's face.

At 9 a.m. the next day, Team Z held its first formal project meeting after arriving in City C.Every police officer present at the meeting had a bad face.According to Zheng Yan's instructions, the city C police broke down the wall where the bloodstains disappeared.The wall is not thick, it is only covered by a wooden board, and the wooden board is painted with a layer of white. If you don't pay attention to it, you will think it is a complete wall.

When the wooden boards cracked, revealing the dark hollow behind and the strong rotten smell blowing in the face.

According to the original design drawings, this was originally a reserved elevator shaft, but unexpectedly it became the place where the murderer threw his body.

When Zheng Yan asked about how many corpses were inside, the investigator of City C police gave such an answer with a straight face.

"Three meters thick."

Afterwards, it was found that there were a total of 27 corpses in the elevator shaft, most of which had been boned, and only the top few corpses could barely be recognized.

With the cooperation of the forensic doctor in City C, Qin Ling inspected 27 corpses overnight, extracted DNA samples, and is currently searching for relevant clues throughout the city in order to confirm the identity of the victim as soon as possible.

"As for the murderer, the currently known clues can infer that he is 172 centimeters tall and weighs about 50 kilograms. He is used to wearing old-fashioned yellow rubber shoes when committing crimes. We have already grasped the murderer's fingerprints and some walking characteristics. According to the instructions of Team Leader Tang, we are The doctors in the whole city have been investigated, and so far, there are no clues." The investigator of the C City Police reported.

"There is another point that caught our attention." The investigator called up a set of photos on the projector, "This is the footprint analysis at the scene. It can be seen that except for a set of footprints suspected of the murderer, the rest of the footprints should belong to The victim. From the footprint pattern, Officer Mu believes that there is no coercive relationship between the murderer and the victim, that is to say, the victim should have followed the murderer to the scene of the crime voluntarily and voluntarily."

"This can be seen from the fact that there were no traces of fighting at the scene where the murderer murdered and dismembered the corpse, and that the victim jumped into the elevator shaft on his own initiative." Mu Xue added, "I think there are two possibilities for leaving such traces. First, The murderer is armed with firearms or long-range lethal weapons, so there is no need to be close to the victim to coerce; second, the victim is voluntary. The second possibility is very small, but it is not ruled out."

"I'm sorry, I want to correct you." Qin Ling said, "The so-called murderer you inferred probably didn't kill anyone with his own hands."

As soon as this remark came out, the meeting room suddenly whispered. In the murder case of 27 people, the forensic doctor gave the conclusion that the suspect did not kill himself, which will have a direct impact on the nature of the case.

"Qin Fayi, is this conclusion reliable?" Captain Chen asked hesitantly, "After all, there are 27 corpses. The workload of autopsy is heavy, and the time is so tight."

"Although the workload is a bit heavy, we still have confidence in the judgment of the cause of death." Qin Ling said with a smile, "From the existing body parts, we found that there are living reactions, which shows that the suspect is in the hospital. If it was cut up while still alive, it cannot be called a dismembered corpse."
