Chen Bai walked over with some confusion and saw Da Binzi pointing to a place on the refrigerator and saying.
"Teacher Chen, look at this place. I think there is probably something there. The most likely possibility is a magnetic magnet."
Chen Bai looked at the refrigerator, and it seemed that there was something there before.
"So? What do you want to say?"
Chen Bai opened the refrigerator smoothly. In fact, he didn't care what Da Binzi said. How could the murderer take away a magnet on the refrigerator after killing someone?
"I don't know either. I just think the murderer took something from here. I don't know why."
Da Binzi was also a little strange. He didn't know why the murderer did this. After Chen Bai looked around, he couldn't find any other clues. It seemed that the murderer was very careful. He wore shoe covers when committing the crime and there were no footprints.
.
"Let's go! There's nothing to see here!"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he walked out of the kitchen, but when he was walking through the living room, he suddenly saw that the photo of the deceased in the living room was taken away.
"This is"
I don't know why Chen Bai suddenly felt a familiar feeling when he saw this scene, but he didn't know what this familiar feeling was.
"Go back first!"
Chen Bai and others went downstairs. At this time, the policemen below had finished asking questions.
p
"By the way, what were you asking just now?"
Chen Bai was a little confused as to what these people were asking after taking so long.
"Consultant Chen, this is the case. The canteen owner said that when the murder occurred, a man wearing an air-conditioning maintenance uniform came to his canteen to buy cigarettes. Let's ask what that person looked like."
Chen Bai nodded, walked over, took a bottle of water and put it on the counter.
"Boss, bring me a bottle of water!"
"Two pieces!"
Chen Bai paid the money and did not leave, but asked.
"Boss, you just saw a man wearing a home appliance repair uniform coming to buy cigarettes from you?"
"Yes, that person was wearing thick clothes, a mask and a hat, and protective gloves on his hands, and was carrying a big bag. After buying it, he also used my phone."
After the boss finished speaking, he pointed to the phone on the table.
~
"Do you know who that person called?"
"Consultant Chen, we came here after receiving the police call from here."
The answer from the policeman next to him surprised Chen Bai. He didn't expect that someone would use this phone to call the police when they came here.
"Boss, do you have a camera here?"
"Officer, where can I find such a thing in my canteen?"
Chen Bai was a little helpless, but Chen Bai was still a little confused, why was the police call made from here?
"Boss, did you really not see what that person looked like?"
"No, he is wearing a mask and I can't see clearly at all!"
Chen Bai nodded, knowing that there was no point in asking the owner of the canteen.
"Da Binzi, He Yong, Feng Qianqian, and Kong Bingxuan, the four of you will visit the area to see if anyone can see this person."
novel
Although no one will care if such a person is hidden in the crowd, as long as one person can notice it, it is a clue.
"Remember, the residential buildings here are very old, and the people who live here are very familiar with the people around them, so they are very sensitive if a stranger appears around them."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, the four of them dispersed to visit.
"Let's go back first! There's nothing to see!"
At this time, Chen Bai didn't know that this case was the beginning of a series of cases.
"Chen Bai, I think the most important thing now is why the murderer injected muscle relaxants into the deceased."
"Muscle relaxants can temporarily paralyze the muscles and bones, but the victim will be abnormally awake. From the edge of the knife, it seems that the murderer's cut was not deep. In other words, the victim can completely feel the passage of his life and feel it.
He was in all the pain, but could not resist. Judging from the amount of bleeding, the deceased died of excessive blood loss. The murderer was enjoying the process of torturing the deceased!"
Chen Bai's tone was a little cold. This case was becoming more and more familiar to him, but it was hard to say where this familiarity came from.
"What on earth is this murderer thinking?"
Song Anchun was a little confused, but then he found some clues about the deceased's social relations.
——
"The deceased had a boyfriend who worked as an accountant in a security company. He happened to be away from the company on the day of the deceased's death."
Chen Bai looked at the man sitting opposite him and shook his head helplessly. He knew that the man sitting opposite him was not the murderer without asking.
"Where were you between 3pm and 5pm yesterday?"
"Here, at home! I'm watching football at home!"
Even without Chen Bai's words, Bai Hongwei could tell that this man was not telling the truth.
"Honestly, where were you yesterday? You must know why we called you here. I think no matter what, it would be much better than you being suspected of murder, right?"
The man lowered his head and finally spoke.
"Actually, I was playing cards at my friend's place yesterday!"
After investigation, it was found that the man was playing cards at a friend's house. After some education, Chen Bai let him go.
"Chen Bai, what should we do now?"
Bai Hongwei didn't pay attention for a while. Chen Bai didn't say anything but just leaned on the chair with his eyes closed and thought.
"The murderer did not rush to leave after the murder, but took his time to call the police downstairs. This seemed to be a provocation to the police."
Wu Di looked at the floor plan of the scene and asked with some confusion.
"According to the results of the on-site investigation, the murderer did follow the victim into the scene, but there were no signs of a fight at the scene. Although the murderer most likely used muscle relaxants to knock down the deceased the moment he entered the door, the deceased was a kindergarten teacher.
, I basically never have any enmity with others, who on earth can do such a heavy hand to the deceased?"
"Wait a minute, what is this?"
When Chen Bai was looking through the photos of the scene, he picked up a photo and asked Wu Di. It was a photo of an hourglass placed on the table in the living room.
"Well, I saw blood stains on the hourglass, so I patted it casually."
Chen Bai ignored what Wu Di said and began to carefully observe the hourglass placed on the table.
"Did you bring the hourglass back?"
"Brought it back, and it's in the evidence room now!"
p
Although Wu Di didn't know why Chen Bai was suddenly interested in the hourglass, he still brought it to Chen Bai.
"What's wrong with this hourglass?"
Wu Di was a little puzzled, but Chen Bai didn't say anything and just stared at the hourglass in his hand.
"I don't think this belongs to the deceased. This is most likely brought by the murderer."
As soon as Chen Bai said these words, everyone was stunned.
"Chen Bai, do you think this thing was brought by the murderer?"
Everyone was a little confused as to why Chen Bai had such an idea.
"It should take about an hour for the hourglass to completely drain out. If I guessed correctly, then this should be the time of death of the deceased. It is estimated that it took one hour from the time the murderer took action to the time when the deceased was completely dead."
Everyone nodded, Bai Hongwei was a little confused and asked quickly.
"Chen Bai, actually I still don't understand why the murderer left this hourglass?"
body
"After the murderer controlled the victim with muscle relaxants, he cut the victim's throat with a knife, but the cut was not deep, so he just made the victim bleed continuously. Due to the muscle relaxants, although the victim could not
I resisted but just felt my life slowly passing by."
Although four people from Da Binzi conducted interviews, there was no result.
"No one saw it?"
Chen Bai was a little confused. This man was dressed so conspicuously, no one should have seen him!
"Yes, there are everyone in that old residential area, maintenance workers, takeaways, couriers, etc. People in uniforms are not conspicuous there at all."
Chen Bai was a little helpless. After all, it made sense to say that. There were really everyone in that place. Moreover, Chen Bai suddenly thought that he seemed to have overlooked a problem, that is, although the murderer followed the deceased into the door, it did not necessarily mean that he was not the murderer.
An acquaintance of the deceased.
"Chen Bai, we don't have any clues now. You don't really place your hope on that child, do you?"
Wu Di was a little confused. Although the child might have seen the murderer, what clues could a child under 8 years old provide?
"It's nonsense to rely on that child, but I think the murderer might have deliberately let the child go. Also, the scene was arranged in a very ritualistic manner. It didn't seem like a vendetta or robbery and murder. The murderer seemed to be completing the murder.
Some kind of ritual, I don’t know if I might want to take a look.”
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he looked at Bai Hongwei beside him.
app,&~p.
"By the way, can you listen to the alarm recording for me?"
The police said that the person who called the police was in the canteen downstairs, and the owner of the canteen also said that it was a person wearing an air-conditioning maintenance uniform who called the police. If that was the case, did the murderer call the police himself after the murder?
"Okay, listen!"
Li Huan had already obtained the recording of the alarm, and clicked the Enter key once to start the recording.
"Hello, what's the matter with the police center?"
"A murder occurred in Building 301, Building 3, next to Jinbin Expressway. Come quickly. If you arrive late, it will be over!"
After saying that, the person on the other end hung up the phone. Chen Bai listened to it a few more times and slowly frowned.
"What? Did you hear something?"
Bai Hongwei asked quickly. After all, only Chen Bai could hear what was wrong with this now.
"Play it again!"
Li Huan played it again. After Chen Bai listened to it more than a dozen times, Chen Bai suddenly asked.
"When was the police called?"
"Let me see, the time when the police call was answered was around 1:30 p.m."
After Li Huan finished speaking, Chen Bai stood up and came to the whiteboard and drew a timeline.
"Look, the time to call the police is 1:30. We assume that the person who called the police is the murderer. That means the murderer has completed the murder at this time. Then there are only two results at this time. The first is that the deceased is dead, and the second
The deceased's throat had just been slit and he was not dead yet. The murderer's purpose for making this call was also very simple. If the police arrived quickly, they might be able to save the deceased."
After Chen Bai's analysis, several people were a little stunned. They had never thought about it in this aspect, but what Chen Bai said seemed to make some sense.
"You mean, the murderer was actually playing a game with the police to see if the deceased would be killed by himself?"
Bai Hongwei was a little surprised. He had never thought about this before.
"But why did the murderer do this?"
Chen Bai is actually a little confused, but this is all he can think of now.
"Let's have a meal first!"
Song Anchun handed the lunch box in his hand to Chen Bai, who took the lunch box and put it on his desk.
"The murderer used such a cruel method to kill Wang Chunhua, but I have checked Wang Chunhua's social relationships and found that she did not even have an enemy. Who on earth would use such cruel methods as a person who is usually kind to others?"
Chen Bai was puzzled. Song Anchun was also in a bit of a dilemma.
"I also checked for muscle relaxants. This kind of medicine is definitely not available in pharmacies. The only possible place is the hospital. But as you said, if it is really an anesthesiologist in the hospital,
If someone did it, it would be easily discovered."
But just when everyone was at a loss what to do, another similar case happened.
"Who called the police?"
Chen Bai looked at the corpse with a gloomy face. Just like Wang Chunhua's scene, the deceased was lying in the bedroom with a smile, but the difference was that this time the wound on the deceased was on the wrist.
"The police were called by the security room at the door downstairs. When the security guard was patrolling, he saw that the door was open and wanted to tell the owner that the door was open. But as soon as he was about to close the door, he saw the body on the ground."
This is a hotel-style apartment. The crime scene is located on the 18th floor. When Chen Bai came in, he noticed that there were surveillance cameras at the door and the elevator. Thinking of this, Chen Bai immediately said to Da Binzi behind him.
"Da Binzi, go check the surveillance camera at the door. Not only to see if there is any suspicious person, but also to see when the deceased entered the house."
"yes!"
After Da Binzi left, Song Anchun's autopsy report was completed.
"The deceased died of excessive blood loss. The murderer like Wang Chunhua first injected muscle relaxants into the deceased. After the deceased lost the ability to resist, he slit the deceased's wrist with a dagger. The deceased could not resist and could only watch helplessly.
The blood bleeds dry.”
Chen Bai was silent for a while and did not speak. Like Wang Chunhua, it was done by the same person. But what is the relationship between these people and the murderer? Why is the murderer obsessed with killing these women?
"Teacher Chen, I found out that there is no suspicious person at the entrance of the elevator or apartment. The security guard at the door said that you must have their access card to enter, and you also need to swipe the access card to use the elevator.
According to the surveillance video, the deceased last appeared on the surveillance camera three days ago, and the deceased has not left the room since then."
Chen Bai thought for a while and looked at the apartment manager beside him.
"Do you have any safe passages or anything like that here?"
"Yes, ours is a regular hotel-style apartment. Of course, there are safety stairs. But our safety stairs are all connected to the lobby on the first floor. Even if you go up from the lobby on the first floor, you still need to go through the gate.
.”
Chen Bai frowned. If this was the case, then the murderer would be captured by surveillance cameras no matter where he appeared.
"Then there aren't any suspicious people these days?"
"It's really not true. All the people who can enter and exit here are the owners, because no one except the owners has access cards. Even our property only has three access cards. We can't get in if we don't use the access cards."
Chen Bai nodded, and after the administrator left, Chen Bai began to take a closer look at the room, which was exactly the same as Wang Chunhua's case, muscle relaxants, hourglass, bloodletting, and then the weird smile on the face of the deceased. Two in a row.
The case made Chen Bai start to pay more attention to it. This murderer was not a simple psychopath. It seemed that there should be some connection between the deceased he chose.
"Teacher Chen, there are so many artistic photos in the deceased's home!"
After Feng Qianqian finished speaking, Chen Bai realized that there were many photos hanging in the deceased's home, and they were all artistic photos.
"Doesn't it cost a lot to put this photo in such a big size?"
Chen Bai really didn't understand this kind of thing, so he could only ask Feng Qianqian next to him.
"Absolutely! This kind of artistic photography generally costs money not just on the photos, but also on clothes, photographers, venues, etc., as well as the refinement of the photos. Anyway, it requires a lot of money."
Chen Bai nodded and suddenly found a photo on the TV cabinet in the living room. Chen Bai picked up the photo and looked at it. It was a daily life photo.
"Okay, let's go back first!"
~&
Two cases in a row left everyone in the task force a little overwhelmed. With no direction or clues, the task force was at a loss as to where to start.
"Chen Bai, the deceased's information has been found. The deceased Mo Xi, 21 years old, was a car salesman. He was usually kind and even often assigned his customers to his colleagues. He was also the boss's right-hand man. Although he was considered a
Not at the top sales level, but still an elite salesperson.”
Chen Bai nodded and then asked.
"What's the relationship between the two dead people?"
"I can't strictly say it didn't happen. I found out that the two deceased people took pictures together in a photo studio."
After saying that, Li Huan took out two photos of his life that he got from the deceased's house.
"I found out that the photo paper they used was all from the same place, and that these two people almost all took pictures in this photography studio within the past month."
Although this was a clue, Chen Bai denied the possibility of the boss committing the crime after visiting him. After all, many people had been to that photo studio in the past month, and there was no reason for the boss to kill them.
"Chen Bai, don't worry yet. The murderer will always reveal his flaws if he is so high-profile."
Chen Bai took out a cigarette and was about to light it when Song Anchun took it away.
"What are you doing? I told you not to smoke when you have a cold. Why are you disobedient?"
Chen Bai smiled, and suddenly he thought about the familiar feeling when he saw the crime scene.
"Bai Hongwei, Bai Hongwei!"
Chen Bai quickly woke up Bai Hongwei who was lying on the chair. Bai Hongwei was woken up with his face covered and he had no idea what was going on.
"Bai Hongwei, I had a familiar feeling from the first time I saw this case, but I couldn't tell what that familiar feeling was, but just now I finally figured out what that familiar feeling was.
What does it feel like?”
"What is it?"
Bai Hongwei obviously hadn't woken up yet, but Chen Bai walked directly to the whiteboard, looked at everyone and said.
"Fifteen years ago, my mentor handled a case. The murderer specialized in women who were dressed in novel and fashionable clothes. He followed those women at night and then committed the crime."
