The knife Chen Bai picked up was a special throwing knife with a red string, and there were two more such knives on the table.
"This is what I use for practice. My favorite thing is throwing knives, so I always carry these things with me to practice. I will become a martial arts master in the future..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. Do you know these two people?"
Chen Bai said, taking out the photos of Li Mei and Feng Shan.
"Looks familiar? I seem to have seen it somewhere."
"Liu Kun, I advise you to think about it carefully. If you can provide us with some clues, then we will not pursue the matter of your peeping."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, Liu Kun pointed at Feng Shan's photo and said excitedly.
"Yes, yes, I remember. I always deliver express delivery to this person. The things she buys are always oversized. Every time I want to be lazy and leave them at the express delivery station, she says no. I still remember
I once gave her an elliptical machine. It exhausted me to death that time!"
"Where were you the night before yesterday?"
Chen Bai couldn't help but be a little suspicious of Liu Kun. He always had a knife on him and knew where these women lived. Coupled with the peek just now, Chen Bai always felt that this man was not as innocent as he seemed.
"Work!"
"Okay, you can stay with us for a while first! I will tell your company boss."
As a suspect, of course Liu Kun could not leave easily. At this time, Chen Bai received news that another murder had occurred on the side of the Zhenyi Road. The death method of the deceased was exactly the same as in the previous cases.
"Chen Bai, this is the deceased's information."
"Wu Di, come here."
Wu Di looked at Chen Bai and pointed at the way the deceased's mouth was stitched in the photo, nodded and said.
"I've seen it before you saw it. This method is indeed different from the previous two cases."
But at this point in the case, all the clues have been cut off. If Liu Kun is arrested, then another murder case will naturally prove that he is not the murderer.
"Chen Bai, I still think there is a high possibility that the murderer may live in this area."
Li Huan marked a circle on the map, but Chen Bai shook his head and said.
"No, there is a word in psychology called psychological safety zone, which means that people who commit crimes will think that they are absolutely safe in certain places. And criminals generally do not choose to commit crimes near their homes. On the one hand, this is because
You are likely to be seen by acquaintances when you commit a crime, and on the other hand, if you commit a crime near your home, the police are likely to find you as soon as possible."
"That....."
Before Li Huan finished speaking, Da Binzi ran in the door in a panic.
"Teacher Chen, another body was found at the farmer's market."
The scene was the same as the previous appearances. The deceased was wearing a bright red dress and red high-heeled shoes, and his mouth was sewn shut with stitches. But the difference was that this time there was only a scar on the neck of the deceased.
"Who discovered the body first?"
"Officer, it's...it's me!"
Chen Bai saw a fish vendor walking towards him tremblingly. Chen Bai smiled and handed out a cigarette and said.
"Don't be nervous. If you have anything to say, just tell me what you saw."
The vendor nodded, took Chen Bai's cigarette and lit it.
"That's it. After I finished selling the goods this morning, I drove the car to this area. We usually put fish in the water here. I was a little anxious and ran to this small alley for convenience. But I didn't expect that as soon as I got here,
I saw a woman lying on the ground. When I got closer, I saw blood all over the woman’s neck. I was frightened and called the police.”
Chen Bai nodded and asked Da Binzi to take the vendor back first to make a detailed record.
"Chen Bai, this is already the fourth one. What does this murderer want to do?"
Bai Hongwei had a headache. It was almost May Day and he finally had a rest. Now he sees that the murderer is killing more and more people. When will this case be solved?
"I don't know, but what I know is that the murderer is becoming more and more skilled in killing people."
Although there were two wounds on the first few corpses, the second wound was not very skillful when cutting the throat. However, the wound on the neck of the deceased was very deep and the execution was clean and neat. This shows that the murderer has improved a lot through continuous killings.
.
"Chen Bai, come and see this!"
Song Anchun raised the deceased's left hand. Chen Bai saw that the nails on the deceased's left hand had broken marks and there was blood on them.
"Is it possible that the murderer fought with the deceased?"
Chen Bai was a little surprised. The murderer on the previous corpses did not leave such clear traces. But Chen Bai was pleasantly surprised and also felt a little confused. The murderer of the previous two crimes even used disinfectant paper towels to wipe the wounds of the deceased after committing the crime.
The whole body was wiped clean, which shows that the murderer had a certain degree of mysophobia. But why at this scene, not only did the body of the deceased have the blood of the murderer, but the body of the deceased was even covered with mud, and there was a thick fishy smell.
.
"Wait a minute, don't move!"
Song Anchun was about to put down the deceased's hand when he was stopped by Wu Di. Wu Di slowly squatted down and used the tweezers in his hand to pinch a piece of white thread from the nail seam of the deceased.
"The eyes are sharp!"
Chen Bai was a little impressed. He was so close and didn't even see it, but Wu Di actually saw it.
"I have no choice but to rely on this to make a living."
Wu Di smiled, put the white thread into the evidence bag, pointed in the direction of the alley entrance and said.
"Chen Bai, come with me and take a look at this!"
Chen Bai and Wu Di came to the entrance of the alley. Wu Di pointed to the corner of the alley and said.
"Chen Bai, look at this mark. Does it look like a car accidentally rubbed here?"
Chen Bai squatted down, observed carefully and then said.
"That's right, and judging from this height, it's very likely that it was left behind by a van, because generally..."
Chen Bai suddenly stopped here and said excitedly as if he had realized something.
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that? Wu Di, the place where we found the deceased was not the first scene, right? Then where was the first scene of the murder? The murderer not only cut the throat, but also cleaned the body and gave it to the deceased.
It takes time to put on a red dress and sew the deceased's mouth. These things must not be done on the road. I always thought that the murderer brought the deceased to his home, but now it seems that the deceased is very
It is possible that he was driving a van. The murderer always put the victim into the carriage of the van and then completed the murder in the carriage. This not only concealed the public but also facilitated the dumping of the body. The traces here are very new, that is, the latest
Good proof.”
However, because the crime scene is located behind the farmer's market, it is densely populated and complex, and most places here are not monitored.
"Bring the body back to the station first!"
The body was returned to the bureau, but Chen Bai did not follow him back, but immediately began to investigate the surrounding seafood market.
"Teacher Chen, can we really find the truck if we look for it like this?"
Da Binzi was a little puzzled. After all, he thought it was not easy for the murderer to leave such obvious clues. Was it a bit fanciful to find a truck with scratch marks in such a large seafood market?
"I know you don't understand, but this is the only way we can check now."
As soon as Chen Bo finished speaking, he received a call from Li Huan on his mobile phone.
"Chen Bai, I checked the surveillance of the nearby main road and found that within half an hour after the incident, a white van did appear, and according to the intersection camera, the van did indeed
There are traces of scratches. I have already sent you the license plate and car owner information, please take a look."
Chen Bai hung up the phone and found the stall of Xia Fang, the owner of the van, based on the information Li Huan sent him. However, according to a nearby vendor, Xia Fang did not open the door after washing the car this morning.
The door was closed and I didn’t know where to go.
"Boss, what kind of person is this Xia Fang?"
"Who are you? Why are you asking Brother Xia?"
The stall owner was a little confused. After Da Binzi took out his ID, the stall owner said.
"Brother Xia is a good man. Although he has been in prison, he is kind-hearted and never lacks for anything. He also has a very good relationship with us."
Chen Bai nodded after listening, but after all, Xia Fang is just a suspect now, so Chen Bai can only understand what kind of person Xia Fang is from the side.
"Okay, thank you."
After leaving the seafood market, Chen Bai was in trouble. You said Xia Fang was the murderer but there is no evidence now, but you said Xia Fang was not the murderer. Then why did Xia Fang disappear as soon as they found the clues?
"Hello?"
"Chen Bai, I hung up too quickly just now. I forgot one thing. Xia Fang has been in prison and has a criminal record. The white thread Wu Di found at the scene was actually human hair. After comparison, we found that it was Xia Fang.
s hair."
After listening to Li Huan's words, Chen Bai finally smiled.
"okay, I get it."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Bai immediately took Da Binzi to Xia Fang's home.
"Bang bang bang!"
As soon as Da Binzi knocked a few times, Chen Bai discovered that Xia Fang's door was unlocked. When Chen Bai opened the door and walked in, he saw Xia Fang sitting on the table eating oysters. The table was already full of oysters.
Shell, and Xia Fang was not surprised at all when he saw the two of them coming in, as if he had already known that Chen Bai and the others would come.
"Officer, would you like to sit down and have something to eat together?"
"Xia Fang, we now suspect that you are related to a murder case. Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation."
Xia Fang didn't say anything, he just put the oyster knife in his hand on the table.
"Let's go!"
In the interrogation room, Chen Bai put Xia Fang's oyster-opening knife on the table, and picked up a few photos and put them on the table.
"Xia Fang, after our comparison, the wounds on the three deceased people are consistent with your oyster knife. Do you have anything to explain?"
"No, I killed all these people."
Chen Bai originally thought that Xia Fang would quibble about something, but he didn't expect that Xia Fang would simply admit his crime.
"Oh? Then tell me why you killed people?"
But at this time Xia Fang stopped talking, lowered his head and rubbed his fingers without saying a word.
"Xia Fang, do you have the courage to do it but not the courage to say it?"
"Officer, don't ask, I did it anyway, so just hurry up and convict me!"
Seeing that Xia Fang didn't say anything, Chen Bai could only lock Xia Fang up first.
"Okay, this case was solved quickly. Fortunately, it didn't delay our May Day holiday."
Bai Hongwei stretched his body. He thought it would take a week or two to investigate the four deceased persons, but he did not expect that they would be able to close the case so quickly.
"No, I always feel that Xia Fang must be hiding something from us."
Chen Bai was a little confused. He always felt that this matter was not that simple.
"Is there anything else wrong?"
Bai Hongwei was a little confused. Now all the evidence points to Xia Fang, and he also personally admitted that he killed someone. What's wrong with this?
"Okay, even if red skirts and high heels are Xia Fang's hobby, why did Xia Fang use two knives to kill people? We compared it and found that the deeper wound on the deceased was Xia Fang's oyster knife. He
It is obvious that only one knife is needed to kill someone, but why are there two wounds on the neck of the deceased, and they are two completely different wounds?"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, everyone was a little confused. This problem has indeed not been solved until now.
"By the way, why did Xia Fang go to prison?"
"Let me see, Xia Fang was imprisoned in 1983 for hooliganism."
Chen Bai nodded. In 1983, there was a severe crackdown. Many people were sentenced for this crime, and many were even shot because of this.
"Can you find out where Xia Fang is in prison?"
"Taiheng!"
Chen Bai checked the distance and then gave up the idea of going there. Instead, he called directly to find out what happened.
"That's right, okay I understand."
After Chen Bai hung up the phone, he fell into deep thought. Of course, he did not forget to let the courier go.
"Chen Bai, is there anything else you can't figure out now?"
"I only have one question now, and that is why Xia Fang used two knives to kill people?"
But what Chen Bai didn't expect was that they received a report again early the next morning. A landlord reported that his tenant died in the room. Chen Bai was a little surprised when he led people to the scene because the deceased's place was far away.
It is less than 300 meters from my home.
"This should have been dead for a month!"
Although Dabinzi and the others were wearing masks, they still covered their mouths and noses. The pungent smell almost made them feel suffocated.
"Chen Bai, look at the wounds on this man's neck."
Chen Bai squatted down. Although the body had turned into wax, the wound on his neck was still vaguely visible.
"Why is this wound the same as the wounds on the previous deceased people?"
Song Anchun nodded, but the wound Chen Bai mentioned was not the same as Xia Fang's knife, but the same as another shallower wound.
"Teacher Chen, look at this!"
Chen Bai saw a plastic bag placed on the deceased's table, which contained a carton of cigarettes, a dozen beers, various snacks, and a small ticket in the plastic bag.
"Chen Bai, this is not..."
Chen Bai nodded. This address was the convenience store where Feng Shan and Li Mei last shopped.
"It seems that this person was followed by a murderer when he came back from shopping in the supermarket, and then the murderer killed him just before closing the door."
"No, if it was really Xia Fang who did it, then why wasn't the body put on a red skirt and red high heels?"
Da Binzi's words were immediately refuted by Feng Qianqian. Just when everyone was confused, Chen Bai looked at Li Huan aside.
"How's the check going?"
"Before Xia Fang was imprisoned, he had a six-year-old daughter. However, after Xia Fang was imprisoned, the information on this daughter was only in junior high school."
Chen Bai nodded. Xia Fang's line cannot be broken. He knew that Xia Fang must be trying his best to hide something. It seemed that if he wanted to know what happened, he would have to investigate what happened to Xia Fang's daughter.
"What is Xia Fang's daughter's name?"
"Xia Qingya!"
After returning from the scene, Chen Bai immediately looked for the place where Xia Qingya went to middle school.
"I know, how could I not know? Xia Qingya's incident was a big deal in the school back then."
"What's going on!"
The school leader smiled bitterly and opened his mouth but never spoke.
"How about we change places?"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, Da Binzi took out the handcuffs.
"No, no, no, that's all, comrade policeman. In fact, it doesn't matter. Didn't Xia Qingya's father go to jail for hooliganism? In fact, at that time, those children didn't know what hooliganism was! So they always thought that her father was a gangster.
Rapist, the children spread the news very quickly, so the whole school knew that Xia Qingya's father was a rapist. Xia Qingya's mother didn't know where she went, and her father was in prison again. So Xia Qingya could only be in school.
I helped in the cafeteria, but I don’t know who revealed the news. Some girls started to bully Xia Qingya. I saw them beat Xia Qingya more than a dozen times. And those girls also encouraged other people in the class.
, together they proposed to the school that the rapist’s daughter should not be allowed to attend school. One time, Xia Qingya couldn’t bear it anymore and had a fight with the girl who bullied her. As a result, the parent of the child who was beaten sued the Education Bureau because
At that time, just a few years after the severe crackdown, we expelled Xia Qingya for the sake of the school's reputation."
Chen Bai frowned, why should the children be blamed for the mistakes made by their parents? She did nothing wrong but suffered so much that she shouldn't have to bear.
"Is this what you do as a human being?"
Da Binzi was a little angry, and the person in charge tried to make excuses after hearing this.
"But what the students said is true. Even if those students don't bully others, no one will want Xia Qingya in society."
Da Binzi wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Chen Bai.
"Okay, what's the use of talking about this now? I'm asking you, do you know where Xia Qingya went after she was expelled?"
"I'm not sure about this. What I probably know is that Xia Qingya seems to have returned to her hometown."
After coming out of school, Chen Bai was a little embarrassed. He thought he would find some clues by checking Xia Fang's daughter, but he didn't expect that the clues would end here.
"Teacher Chen, actually I have been thinking about a question. You said that Xia Qingya was six years old in 1983, and she went to junior high school around 1989 and 1990. So Xia Qingya is actually almost fifty years old now, right?"
