"Then what do you think we should do next?" Lynn asked.
To be honest, he currently doesn't have a good idea about this case, which is one of the reasons why he decided to change the target.
But if Reiner can now come up with some valuable breakthrough insights, there is really no need to let the case go.
"Upton's story actually left us a clue. He thought it would take at least a few minutes to dismember the victim and put a smile on his face, and a few minutes after he passed the scene of the incident, something happened there.
Something happened, so we can only understand it as something happened there when he was passing by, and he didn't notice it because the other party was not a human being, or was stronger than him."
"You mean, it doesn't necessarily take a few minutes to complete this thing." Linn made it clear.
Reiner nodded: "Yes. What if the murderer only needs a short time to complete this thing? Then when Upton passed by the place where the incident occurred, there might really be no one there at the time, and his ability would be limited.
There is no failure.”
Lin En thought: "It makes sense. If the murderer is really one of our kind, it should not be difficult to kill the deceased in a very short time and create all that."
"Assuming that the other party is our kind, then even the other party's ability is very special, which is enough for him to cause all this without being present at the scene."
"If that's the case, here's the problem. The other party killed the deceased without even arriving at the scene of the incident. How should we investigate?" Lin En asked.
"I currently think it is almost impossible to find a breakthrough from the traces. Firstly, the abilities of the same kind are impossible to figure out, and secondly, a long time has passed. Even if there were traces before, they have almost been wiped out now.
Reiner changed direction, "I think the focus now should be on time and technique."
time.
Technique.
Linn said nothing, waiting for Reiner to continue explaining.
"Why did the murderer have to cut each of the deceased's bodies into two and put a terrible smile on their faces? Why did the murderer commit murders for seven consecutive days and then disappear?" Reiner explained the time and technique issues in detail.
.
As a mystery novelist, Lynn has learned about countless real-life cases.
He knew Lenati's two points. There must be some reason why the murderer did this. As long as he found out these two reasons, not to mention directly identifying the murderer, he could at least narrow the scope to a very considerable extent.
And when the range is reduced, [Peeper's Eye] comes in handy.
The problem is, these two points are difficult to deduce from the information currently available.
"Well..." Linn pondered for a moment, then began to give his own opinion based on Reiner's analysis, "I agree with what you said, but there are many ways to understand this information. For example, the death state of the corpse may be
Because the murderer was affected by something, or it may be purely psychological. It is also impossible to rule out other reasons that we can't imagine for the time being. Another example is why he committed murder for seven days in a row. Maybe these seven people are the murderer's enemies. After taking revenge, he
The operation ended. Maybe this person was one of our kind. He died in the next mission and could no longer commit murder, or maybe there was an unknown reason that forced him to kill one person for seven consecutive days... What I want to express is that we
We have too little information and too many possibilities, and two days are not enough for us to narrow down the scope of our investigation."
"Understood." Reiner sighed.
He just finished chatting with Upton and had more opinions.
But that's not enough to end the conversation and directly determine a shortcut to catch the murderer.
"My suggestion is that this case can be triggered in the next task, so that we still have nine days. Nine days is enough for us to significantly narrow the scope and determine whether we can possibly solve the case." Lin En found someone.
A compromise.
Consider the issue of time.
If you don’t want to give up on the Clown Murder Case, then moving it back to buy more time is the best solution.
After all, the murderer has stopped committing crimes. There is not much difference between solving the case two months later and solving the case two months and one week later.
"This is the only way." Reiner did not object.
This is the benefit of co-production with comrades.
Both of them are smart, both are tough and persistent, and neither of them is unreasonable.
Reiner didn't want to give up on solving the Joker murder case without making any efforts.
Lynn respects that.
Lin En hopes to move it to the next task to trigger it, so as to gain more time to investigate and improve the success rate.
Lena respects that.
After reaching a consensus, the two dug out the other two files that were brought out from the file room, and planned to finalize one of the two cases tonight.
The other two cases are also very interesting and challenging.
One was the Hard Street fire.
The detailed information is that a large fire broke out in a restaurant on Hard Street in the West District of the Imperial City a month ago.
Strangely, no one escaped after the fire broke out. When the fire was extinguished, the sheriff and firefighters went in and saw that all the dining customers that night had been burned to the point of being inhuman shape, but they were all sitting in unison.
They didn't leave their respective seats.
Later, after autopsy, it was confirmed that they all inhaled poisonous smoke and died in the fire.
So far, the Public Security Bureau has not investigated who set the fire, and why these guests remained motionless after the fire. In the end, they were either choked to death, suffocated, or burned alive.
The other is the tragedy of the Hind family.
The detailed information is that the Shinde family, a total of seven people, entered the rooftop of the Old South York Hotel one and a half months ago without anyone witnessing it. They all took off their clothes, poured cold water on themselves, and stood in a row on the edge of the rooftop.
Frozen into ice sculptures.
Later, because the weather got warm at noon, the eldest old lady in the Hinde family's feet melted due to ice, and she fell from the rooftop to the ground, breaking into countless pieces.
At this point, passers-by noticed that on the edge of the towering hotel rooftop, there were actually six ice sculptures that had almost melted away.
The strange thing about this case is that no one saw the Hinde family at the Old South York Hotel that night. After the incident, when the sheriff went to the rooftop, he found that the door to the rooftop was actually locked from the outside.
Although the characteristics look like suicide, the reason for suicide cannot be confirmed.
Moreover, the Hinde family's address is about five kilometers away from the Old Nanyue Hotel. Neighbors said that they were a group of optimistic and kind-hearted people, and it was impossible for them to commit suicide without warning.
"These two are also tricky, haha..." Lin En flipped through the file again and finally smiled bitterly.
"If it wasn't difficult, we wouldn't have taken them out, right?" Reiner said, holding the file of the Sind massacre.
