After Li Huan finished speaking, he retrieved the call records of the deceased, but the last call record showed that it was a takeaway call that the deceased received last night, and there was no more call after that.
"Are there any records of the deceased's social software?"
"I still need to check this!"
Chen Bai originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask the deceased's husband, but the deceased's husband has not been able to speak well until now, so Chen Bai had to give up.
"Chen Bai, do you have any clues about the pattern at the scene?"
Bai Hongwei looked at the photos of the scene and was a little confused. He had just checked the information, but the information on the Internet was not complete, so he did not find out what the scene arranged by the murderer meant.
"This is a pattern in a niche Western religion. Because in Western religions, the inverted pentagram generally represents death, so not many people use this pattern..."
"Chen Bai, look at this!"
Before Chen Bai could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Huan, who called up a copy of the case information and put it on the big screen.
"In 2001, there was a case exactly like this case. The deceased was also killed during his wedding. Look at the photo."
The photos on the big screen were a little blurry, after all, they were photos taken more than 20 years ago, but Chen Bai still saw from the photos that the scene of the case was exactly the same as this case.
"Was the case unsolved at that time?"
"Yes, the police investigated this case for a full year, but there was no result at all. By the way, your master was also involved in the investigation of this case at that time."
Chen Bai was startled and the cigarette ashes in his hand fell to the ground.
"I'll go to the archives to find the original!"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the archives room.
"Li Huan, why are you telling Chen Bai this?"
Bai Hongwei was a little anxious, because he knew that once Chen Bai got involved with his master, he would fight this case to death.
"I will definitely tell Chen Bai. Even if I don't tell you, do you think Chen Bai can't find out?"
Of course, Li Huan knew Chen Bai's ability. Even if Chen Bai was not mentioned, he could still find out that there was an exact same case many years ago.
"I know, I'm just afraid that Chen Bai will get into trouble again."
In the corridor of the archives room, Chen Bai was holding a cigarette and looking at the case files in his hands.
"Time: October 1, 2001. Location: Yuanji Seafood. There were no obvious wounds on the deceased. After forensic identification, the deceased was poisoned by potassium cyanide. There was an inverted five-pointed star under the deceased's feet and a red stripe around his waist.
The waist cord and a needle hole were found under the belly button. After examination, it was found that the deceased had been injected to death. According to the witness statements, the suspects included the husband and friends of the deceased, but after investigation, these three people were not suspected. The deceased was
Bank clerks usually have simple interpersonal relationships, ruling out the possibility of a vendetta. The deceased was not violated, ruling out the possibility of a love killing."
Chen Bai turned to the next page, which contained photos of the crime scene.
"How's it going? Did you see anything?"
Bai Hongwei didn't know when he stood behind Chen Bai, but he didn't speak just now.
"No, we can't tell anything from the case file. Although the layout of the crime scenes is exactly the same, the causes of death of the two deceased were different, and because of the limited conditions, there were not many valuable clues left."
Bai Hongwei nodded. After all, it was a case twenty years ago. It was good to have so much left behind.
"Bai Hongwei, I plan to visit the family members of the deceased."
"Do you think the murderer of these two cases is the same person?"
Chen Bai nodded. Although he was not 100% sure yet, after all, the two cases were exactly the same, so it would be better to ask the original man.
"Okay, I'll let Da Binzi go with you."
In the car, Chen Bai looked through the victims and relatives of the case that year.
"Teacher Chen, I don't understand if the murderer in this case is really a serial murderer, why did he take action after so many years?"
Chen Bai didn't answer. In fact, this was what he couldn't figure out the most. After killing the first person, it would be difficult for an average serial killer to refrain from committing another crime.
"I don't know about this either. Let's go to the first victim's house and ask first!"
Wang Zhijun lived in an old building. In Chen Bai's memory, this building probably existed here around 1990. Chen Bai knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no movement inside.
"no one there?"
"Who are you looking for?"
At this moment, a man's voice came from behind him. Chen Bai turned around and saw a man in his forties standing not far behind the two of them.
"Wang Zhijun, right? We are the police and we are here to find out more about the situation from you!"
"Has my wife's murderer been caught?"
Unexpectedly, this was the first thing Wang Zhijun asked when he came up. Chen Bai shook his head and Wang Zhijun didn't say anything. He just took out the key and opened the door to let Chen Bai and Chen Bai in.
"Officer, my wife's matter has not come to an end after so many years. Why are you here to see me today?"
"Wang Zhijun, there was another case recently. It was exactly the same as your wife's death scene. I read your confession. Is there anything else you haven't said?"
Wang Zhijun's confession at that time stated that he set out from home to pick up the bride, but when he arrived at the bride's house, he found that no one was there. After finally opening the door, he discovered that the bride had died in the house. Because Wang Zhijun went to the place where the body was found last night.
Someone has been watching for a while, so Wang Zhijun is not suspicious.
"What can I not say? What can I not say? After all these years, my wife has died with her eyes closed, but now not only have you not found out the cause of my wife's death, you have come to ask me so many incomprehensible questions.
Get out, get out of here!"
Seeing Wang Zhijun so excited, Chen Bai had no choice but to take Da Binzi away first.
"Teacher Chen, what should we do now?"
Da Binzi is in a bit of a dilemma. Now that Wang Zhijun is not cooperating, what happened back then has no result.
"Let's go back first! Let's start the investigation from the interpersonal relationship of the deceased. After all, there is no evidence that it must be the murderer back then."
After returning home, Chen Bai and Da Binzi rushed to the bank where Luo Xiaoqian worked without stopping.
"Luo Xiaoqian? Officer, if you ask Luo Xiaoqian, she will tell you something. She is the best employee of our bank. You know that we usually sell some financial products, but those who buy these are all uncles and aunties.
But people won’t believe you easily when they get older. But no matter who Luo Xiaoqian is, she can sell financial products in half an hour at most. And the most important thing is that Luo Xiaoqian is not the kind of person who is finished after selling the financial products.
Luo Xiaoqian is also very good at after-sales service. Once, it was because of Luo Xiaoqian's return visit that we found out in time that an old man was suffering from gas poisoning at home due to improper operation."
Chen Bai nodded. At this moment, Chen Bai received a call from Song Anchun.
"Chen Bai, come back first. I have new discoveries."
After returning to the police station, Chen Bai immediately found Song Anchun.
"What did you find?"
"At first, we all thought that the deceased was killed by a knife inserted into the heart. However, after my autopsy, I found that the deceased was poisoned by potassium cyanide and died. The knife in the heart was inserted after the deceased died."
After speaking, Song Anchun handed the toxicology test report to Chen Bai.
"Are you saying that the deceased was poisoned first and then stabbed in the heart like this?"
"right!"
Chen Bai frowned. If this was the case, it would really be the same as the case more than 20 years ago.
"By the way, I also found this on the deceased's waist."
Song Anchun raised the evidence bag in his hand, and Chen Bai saw a red waist rope inside.
"Red waist cord?"
Now everything is right, this case is exactly the same as the case back then.
"Can the deceased's husband speak now?"
"Chen Jun fell into a coma and went to the hospital last night. He has woken up now."
Chen Bai brought Da Binzi to the hospital. At this time, Chen Jun was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling blankly.
"Chen Jun, I understand how you feel now, but I hope you can answer my questions now. Only by cooperating with me can you catch the murderer of your wife as soon as possible."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, Chen Jun nodded.
"Officer, if you have anything to ask, just ask!"
"Chen Jun, who booked the hotel where you got married?"
Chen Bai's question is very important. Judging from the scene, it is definitely not something that can be achieved by simple arrangements, so the murderer must have arranged the scene in advance.
"It's my wife. She is very concerned about these things. I was busy with work and she told me that I didn't need to worry about anything. After that, I just followed my wife."
"Do you know if your wife had an intimate relationship with another man before she was with you?"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, Chen Jun's eyes changed instantly.
"Officer, what do you mean? My wife and I have a very good relationship, and there is absolutely no third party between us."
Chen Jun was a little excited, but Chen Bai just smiled and said.
"Chen Jun, you are overthinking. I didn't mean that. Judging from the hotel's surveillance at the time, after your wife came out of the dressing room on the third floor, she anxiously went to the hotel's warehouse, and then your wife was killed. We
Your wife's cell phone was not handed over at the scene, but it can be judged that your wife was definitely called out. That's why I asked you this question."
Chen Jun thought for a while, shook his head and said.
"This shouldn't happen. My wife told me that I was her first love."
When Chen Bai left the hospital, Chen Jun was already asleep. Chen Bai knew that he would not be able to ask anything from Chen Jun.
"Teacher Chen, I checked several theories about the red waist rope on the Internet. There are several theories that the red waist rope can only be worn in the year of one's life. And..."
"None of this is of any use to you!"
Before Feng Qianqian finished speaking, she was interrupted by Chen Bai.
"The red waist rope on Luo Xiaoqian's body is the same as the waist rope on the deceased twenty years ago. Twenty years ago, there was not so much emphasis on this kind of waist rope. At that time, there was only one particular emphasis on this kind of waist rope, which was that women should marry on their wedding night.
Used to pray for blessings when traveling.”
But Chen Bai is still a little confused. After all, the two people have exactly the same things. This is definitely not a coincidence.
"Chen Bai, something happened again!"
When everyone rushed to the scene, they found that the scene was the same as the previous two crime scenes. The deceased was also wearing a wedding dress, and the scene was also full of ritual. But the only difference this time was that there was no insertion in the heart of the deceased.
Holding a knife.
"Who was the first to find out?"
Chen Bai found that the deceased's body still had a trace of warmth, and knew that the deceased's death would not last long.
"Yes, it's me!"
A shivering girl in a bridesmaid dress appeared at the door. Chen Bai saw that the girl's face was blue, and she was obviously frightened.
"You don't have to be afraid, just tell me everything you see."
"Comrade police, today is Sissi's wedding. We booked this hotel, but Sissi didn't come out after going to the toilet for half an hour. We went to look for someone, but what we didn't expect to find was..."
Chen Bai nodded, but Wu Di discovered something different at this time.
"Chen Bai, come and take a look at this!"
Wu Di pulled Chen Bai to the corner, and Chen Bai discovered that this time the murderer used lipstick to draw the five-pointed star pattern on the ground.
"Chen Bai, I think there are some problems with this case. First of all, in the two previous cases, the murderer used paint to draw marks on the ground, but this time the murderer used lipstick. And the most important thing is, you didn't feel that the murderer this time
Is your painting not as good as last time?"
Chen Bai nodded. Although the scene he saw when he first came in was indeed very similar to the previous case, after Chen Bai carefully observed it, he immediately discovered something was wrong.
"But, could it be that the murderer was in a hurry and therefore failed to finish the painting?"
Da Binzi raised a question, but was immediately denied by Chen Bai.
"No, if it's really because of the rush of time, wouldn't it be enough to just kill people? Why go to all this trouble? The reason why the murderer does this is the sense of ritual."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he walked directly to the deceased and lifted up the deceased's wedding dress, but this time Chen Bai did not see the red waist cord.
"Li Huan, investigate the surveillance in the hotel immediately."
However, what disappoints Chen Bai is that because the hotel is very old, there are not so many cameras installed.
"The relevant personnel will go back with us first. Wu Di, you guys, take the body back first."
"good!"
Bai Hongwei was a little confused. Chen Bai had never brought so many people back to the police station before. What happened this time?
"I suspect that this time it is very likely that someone imitated the original case and killed someone."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, Bai Hongwei was also a little surprised, but what surprised Bai Hongwei even more was, who exactly wanted to imitate the murderer and kill people? What grudges did this person have with the deceased?
"Chen Bai, look at this!"
Li Huan came over with the guest list, and Chen Bai saw that Wang Zhijun's name was on the guest list.
"What is Wang Zhijun doing here?"
Chen Bai immediately took Da Binzi to find Wang Zhijun, who had just returned home at this time.
"Wang Zhijun, you just went to the wedding, right?"
"Comrade police, is there anything wrong with me attending my niece's wedding? As for what happened at the wedding, I'm sorry, I really don't know."
Wang Zhijun said he didn't care, but Chen Bai discovered a problem.
"Wang Zhijun, how did you know something happened at the wedding?"
When Chen Bai arrived, Wang Zhijun should have already left, but Wang Zhijun knew that something happened at the wedding, so Chen Bai estimated that Wang Zhijun must know what happened.
"Officer, I'm not interested in anything right now. I just want to know who killed my wife."
Chen Bai and Wang Zhijun looked at each other, and he found that there was no trace of panic in Wang Zhijun's eyes.
"Don't worry, we will definitely catch the murderer."
Because there is no evidence, Chen Bai can't do anything to Wang Zhijun.
"Chen Bai, those people have asked, but no one was found to be suspicious."
Bai Hongwei had a headache. With such cases appearing one after another, Director Ding would definitely be nagging him again.
"Teacher Chen, besides Wang Zhijun, we are missing one person."
Feng Qianqian took the wedding list, and Chen Bai saw a person named Sun Liming on the wedding list.
"Investigate this Sun Liming immediately!"
The police want to investigate a person very quickly, and they quickly found out the relationship between Sun Liming and the deceased.
"Wang Qianqian and I have a normal relationship as colleagues. There is nothing between us other than colleagues."
Although Sun Liming said so, Chen Bai immediately saw that Sun Liming was lying.
"Sun Liming, I hope you can think about one thing clearly. We have investigated almost everyone at Wang Qianqian's wedding except you. I think you know better than me what is going on, and why you and I
Wang Qiqian has the same tattoo."
When examining the body, Chen Bai saw a rose tattoo on Wang Qianqian's arm, and he also saw the same tattoo on Sun Liming's hand.
"Officer, what you are talking about is my own business. I can guarantee that it has nothing to do with the case."
Seeing that Sun Liming didn't say anything, Chen Bai could only take out a document.
"Really? Then Sun Liming, can you explain to me why you reported a murder case twenty years ago? And why is this case exactly the same as Wang Qianqian's case?"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, Sun Liming stopped talking.
"Sun Liming, how did you know about the case twenty years ago?"
Chen Bai was a little confused, but Sun Liming thought for a while before speaking.
"Officer, you also know that Wang Qianqian and I both work in self-media, so we are relatively sensitive to these things. In fact, Wang Qianqian gave me this material, but I don't know where she got it from."
Since there is no conclusive evidence to prove that it was Sun Liming who committed the murder, we can only let Sun Liming go back first.
"Teacher Chen, counting the previous case, three people have been killed in the same way. Do you think it is a serial killing or a copycat killing?"
Da Binzi was a little puzzled. If it was really a serial killing, there were differences among the three cases. If it was a copycat killing, but the imitation was not very similar, it made the already confusing case even more confusing.
