Card Room - 195. Chapter 274-275

【Chapter 274, Serial Murders】

At 10:30 in the evening, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came to the scene of the crime together.

The local police had sent people to cordon off the scene, and they let Yu Hanjiang enter after Yu Hanjiang showed the police officer’s ID.

The town belongs to a subordinate unit of Binzhou City. The criminal police at the scene heard that the captain of the Binzhou Criminal Police Team, Yu Hanjiang, came here in person. Everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, the murder in the town would shock the top boss.

Li Xinyang, the young detective in charge of investigating the case, greeted him immediately and respectfully said: “Team Yu, why did you come to the scene in person?” He glanced at Xiao Lou, and Xiao Lou smiled and stretched out his hand: “Hello Team Li, I am Binzhou. Xiao Building of the Municipal Forensic Appraisal Center.”

The other party politely said: “So it’s Professor Xiao, you are also with Team Yu?”

Yu Hanjiang simply explained: “We happened to come to investigate the case today. The deceased Xu Kai is related to a murder case being investigated by our city’s criminal police team. Xiao Li, please sort out the details of the deceased and hand over the case to me. ”

Li Xinyang nodded: “Okay, Team Yu, you go to the scene first… this scene is a bit weird.”

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou followed Li Xinyang upstairs.

After walking into the scene of the crime, the two realized that Xu Kai’s death scene was almost exactly the same as Lin Yiyan’s death scene.

It’s just that Xu Kai was probably murdered when he was about to take a shower, and he was not wearing any clothes.

He lay in the bathtub, his eyes widened in horror, his whole body was covered with traces of being cut by a knife, and there were also ice cubes around him, except that Xu Kai’s room had a heater turned on, so, partly The ice cubes have melted.

The water melted from the ice cubes mixed with the blood on the deceased’s body, and the water in the entire bathtub turned blood red. Xu Kai was lying in a pool of blood water, staring hard.

This scene is really shocking.

Li Xinyang said: “We have just come to the scene too. It is the case reported by Xu Kai’s cousin Zhang Xiaoyu.”

He shifted his gaze to the side and pointed to Yu Hanjiang where Xiaoyu was.

This Zhang Xiaoyu, the manager of “Whale Internet Cafe”, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou just met him this afternoon. At this moment, he was holding his head, sitting on the bed next to him shivering. After seeing him, Yu Hanjiang winked at Xiao Lou, and whispered in Xiao Lou’s ear: “You can do an autopsy first. I’ll go to the informant to find out about the situation.”

Xiao Lou nodded, put on his gloves, and leaned over to examine the corpse.

In the bloody bathtub, the corpse was soaked to be a little swollen. This time, the murderer was still very meticulous after committing the crime. The blood on the surrounding walls was wiped clean. There was no trace of blood splashing. All the blood flowed into the bathtub. .

Xiao Lou opened the water valve under the bathtub and drained most of the blood, so that the whole body was exposed, and he began to check carefully.

Next to him, the forensic doctor in the small town consciously handed him the toolbox. Some young interns probably had never seen such a disgusting scene. They ran downstairs and vomited, but Li Xinyang gave him a fierce look.

Xiao Lou said, “Give me a pair of tweezers.”

The forensic doctor next to him served as his assistant and immediately handed him the clean tweezers.

Xiao Lou took out a long hair from the bathtub and put it in a sterile airtight bag for preservation. He still can’t judge whether this long hair was left by the murderer, but the evidence found on the spot must always be brought back for careful examination.

No other hair was found on the deceased.

The murder method is similar to the Lin Yiyan case. The fatal wounds are in the location of the heart, but the wounds are not the same as those of Lin Yiyan. Xiao Lou lifted the deceased’s body and looked behind his back.

The fatal wounds of the deceased were in the heart like Lin Yiyan, but Lin Yiyan’s wound was pierced from the front, while Xu Kai’s wound was pierced from the back. Therefore, the scars will appear wide on the back and narrower on the front. This sharp knife directly pierced Xu Kai’s chest.

Xiao Lou conducted a careful inspection of the corpse. Yu Hanjiang walked around the scene and came to the reporter Zhang Xiaoyu. He asked: “When did you come to your cousin’s house and found his corpse?”

Zhang Xiaoyu tremblingly said: “Ten or ten o’clock in the evening.”

Yu Hanjiang asked: “Have you contacted your cousin this afternoon?”

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded: “I called him around six o’clock in the evening, but he didn’t answer it. I thought he had gone to the KTV club again to find his friend, so I ignored him.”

Yu Hanjiang took Xu Kai’s phone from the table next to the bathtub: “Do you know the password?”

Zhang Xiaoyu picked it up and unlocked it. Sure enough, there was a missed call at six o’clock in the afternoon. It seemed that Xu Kai was dead at that time.

Yu Hanjiang: “Call him in the afternoon, but he didn’t answer it. Why did you suddenly come to him at ten o’clock in the evening?”

Zhang Xiaoyu said, “I want to borrow some money from him… I’m running short of money recently, and if he doesn’t answer the phone, I will come to his house to try my luck.”

Yu Hanjiang asked in a deep voice, “He was already dead, how did you come in?”

Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly explained: “I have the key to his house, because my brother sometimes goes out to talk about business. The fish and flowers raised at home are not taken care of by anyone. I live nearby, so he gave me the key. Let me sit back and take care of him.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded and said, “When you came in, did you see any suspicious people in the community? Or was it a vehicle?”

Zhang Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, shook his head and said, “No, I, I walked with my head down, I didn’t pay attention.”

When this cousin answered the question, he had not dared to look at Yu Hanjiang’s eyes, his expression was flustered, and his eyes dodge left and right, obviously with a guilty conscience. He may have concealed something, but Yu Hanjiang does not think he is directly related to the murder of Xu Kai.

After the trial of Zhang Xiaoyu, Yu Hanjiang returned to Xiao Lou and asked in a low voice: “How was the autopsy result?”

Xiao Lou said: “The fatal injury of the deceased is still the heart. A sharp long knife directly pierced his heart. Judging from the wound marks, the weapon should be the same as the long knife that killed Lin Yiyan. Others on his body The knife mark looks more like it was left after death.”

Yu Hanjiang frowned: “In other words, after the murderer killed him, he whip the body again?”

Xiao Lou nodded: “Well, it’s the same as Lin Yiyan’s case.”

He lifted the head of the corpse, carefully checked the pupils and the plaques on his body, and said: “From the perspective of the plaques and muscle stiffness, the time to death should be about 6 hours.”

Yu Hanjiang looked at the wall clock on the wall in the bedroom.

The current time is 22:35, and the time of death is about 6 hours. In other words, Xu Kai’s death time should be around 16:30 in the afternoon-while Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou left Xu Kai’s home at exactly 4:30. .

Realizing this, the two of them suddenly felt terrified.

In other words, as soon as they left with their front feet, Xu Kai was brutally killed in the bathroom by the murderer’s back feet.

Yu Hanjiang took a deep breath, lowered his voice and said in Xiao Lou’s ear: “When we interrogated Xu Kai at that time, it was very likely that the murderer had already sneaked into Xu Kai’s residence and was ready to murder Xu Kai. However, she was hiding. In the corner, we couldn’t find it.”

Xu Kai’s luxurious villa is very large, with a basement, the living room, dining room and garden on the first floor, the master bedroom and study on the second floor, several guest bedrooms on the third floor, and a rooftop on the fourth floor.

There is a person hidden in such a big villa, it is really not easy to find if you don’t search carefully.

When Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came to investigate him, because the current suspect, Qiao Xuening, was filming in the crew of Binzhou Film City, Qu Wanyue and other teammates were staring at her. Neither of them expected that the murderer would commit the crime again and come to murder in advance. Xu Kai. Therefore, they did not conduct a detailed search of Xu Kai’s residence at that time.

What’s more, to search the residences of residents requires a “search warrant” approved by the superior.

For example, Zhou Yuanyuan has a very strong motive for committing crimes, and her villa can be searched only after being locked as a criminal suspect.

Xu Kai is only an insider of Lin Yiyan’s case, not a criminal suspect. The search warrant will not be issued easily. Even the police cannot search people’s homes casually.

It is precisely because of this that the two of them may have passed by the murderer.

If the murderer was hiding in Xu Kai’s house, he might have heard Yu Hanjiang’s question to Xu Kai.

I still remember that when the two came to Xu Kai’s house, Xu Kai just woke up. He should have been awakened by Yu Hanjiang’s continuous doorbell. He walked directly from the bedroom to the living room, sleepy eyes, and his hair was messy like a bird’s nest and his jaw. There is obvious stubble on it, and it should not have been washed at that time.

It is conceivable that after Yu Hanjiang and Xiaolou left, Xu Kai’s first thing to do is to take a bath.

His cousin Zhang Xiaoyu once mentioned that he came home drunk last night. It is normal for people with hangovers to take a bath in the bathtub to sober up. After he walked into the bathroom, he took off his robe and prepared to take a shower. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the murderer who had been hiding in the villa suddenly took out a sharp long knife and stabbed him in the heart!

Xiao Lou pointed to the corpse and said: “The difference from Lin Yiyan’s case is that this time, Xu Kai’s heart wound was pierced from behind, and the murderer attacked from behind him, killing him with one blow.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: “After all, the murderer is probably a woman. If you fight head-on with a tall and muscular man like Xu Kai, she may not be able to take advantage. At that time, Xu Kai took off his clothes and was about to take a bath. The spirit should be relatively lax, and Xu Kai is also very difficult to guard against a sneak attack from behind.”

After all, no one would have thought that there was someone hiding in his bathroom!

No wonder Xu Kai’s eyes were as wide as a copper bell, almost falling out. Obviously, he was just about to step into the bathtub, and he was stabbed from behind. He must have been shocked by the sharp point of the knife that pierced his chest.

Captain Li Xinyang listened carefully to the conversation between the two, and his face was completely at a loss.

Yu Hanjiang suddenly looked at him and asked, “Do you have luminol?”

Li Xinyang immediately said: “Take it, Xiao Qi, you can bring it to Team Yu.”

A young police officer walked over to fetch luminol and handed it to Yu Hanjiang. Yu Hanjiang turned on the equipment and inspected the scene carefully. Although the murderer had cleaned up the blood stains, luminol, a component of luminol, could show blood stains.

Even if the blood stain is wiped off by the murderer, the hemoglobin in the blood will still remain. When the luminol component “luminol reagent” is sprayed on the hemoglobin, it will oxidize with active oxygen and release a blue-purple color. Fluorescence.

Yu Hanjiang sprayed a circle in the bathroom, and soon, a lot of blue-violet fluorescent traces appeared on the walls and the ground.

Looking at the most fluorescent part, Xiao Lou walked to this position and said while making gestures: “Xu Kai, it was here that was stabbed back by the murderer, and blood splashed on the wall. Xu Kai struggled for a while and died soon. Then, the murderer moved his body into the bathtub, surrounded him with ice cubes, and whipped him.”

Everyone understood Xiao Lou’s gestures, and it was consistent with the blood stains left on the scene.

Li Xinyang heard the hair on his back: “This…what a hatred is this. If you kill, you will freeze people with ice and whip the corpse?”

Yu Hanjiang said calmly: “The psychology of the murderer in this case has been distorted. Moreover, she is very smart and can sneak into the target’s home in advance and kill the target unexpectedly. I guess she may have learned the technique of unlocking the lock, otherwise it is difficult to explain. How did she keep lurking to Lin Yiyan’s house and Xu Kai’s house.”

God mysteriously sneaked into the target’s home, and then stabbed him to death while he was taking a bath…

This murderer is no less than a professional killer!

*************

【Chapter 275, True and False Stand-in】

After a preliminary autopsy, Xiao Lou came to the following conclusions.

First, the time for the murderer to commit the crime was determined to be around 4:30 in the afternoon. They committed the crime immediately after they left, probably because they were afraid that Ye Changmeng would be caught by the police. After she committed the crime, she must have ran away. How did she escape? At present, she still needs to find the community property and check the vehicle access monitoring at the door.

Second, the murderer has a soft spot for ice. She buried the body with ice at the scene of the crime, which seemed to have a strange meaning, much like a “curse” or something. She successively killed Lin Yiyan and Xu Kai, and after the killing, she frozen the corpse and vented her anger and whip the corpse. Currently, the person with the greatest motivation and suspicion is Qiao Xuening.

But, which one is the real Qiao Xuening?

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, feeling a little confused in their hearts.

Yu Hanjiang said solemnly: “I did a carpet search for the entire villa, and I don’t believe she will leave no clues.”

The two took the detectives from the town, searched from the basement all the way to the attic on the top floor, collected all the fingerprints and hair that appeared in the villa, and also found a plum-shaped earring on the attic. These were all found by Xiaolou. Seal it in a sterile bag and bring it back.

That night, Xiao Lou temporarily borrowed the town’s forensic appraisal center to appraise the evidence collected on the spot, while Yu Hanjiang went to the property to check the monitoring in detail.

The two were busy apart and did not meet at the police station until three o’clock in the morning.

Xiao Lou sorted out all the identification results to Yu Hanjiang: “The long hair found in the bathtub, after comparing the gene bank, belongs to a girl named Lin Dandan.”

Li Xinyang hurriedly said: “This Lin Dandan, I know, is a girl who accompanies the wine in our small town KTV. She is very beautiful and has long hair. She should have been dating Xu Kai for a while.”

Xiao Lou then asked, “What about Liu Qi, Yue Qingqing?”

Li Xinyang froze for a moment, and said, “These are all Xu Kai’s girlfriends.”

He rubbed his temples with a wry smile, and introduced Xu Kai’s love history to the two in detail over the past few years.

According to Li Xinyang, Xu Kai is still unmarried. He is still handsome in his thirties. In addition, he is also the big boss of Internet cafes and two hot pot cities. “The same exists.

Xu Kai is a single diamond king, and the girls who chase him have to line up. He basically changed to a girlfriend in the first half of the year, and he would give girls a lot of money when he broke up. So although his private life is chaotic, there should be no girls because of it. Break up with him and kill him.

Li Xinyang said: “Xu Kai’s reputation is not very good, but he is quite generous in dealing with his lover. Many people in our town know that he will give each other enough money when he breaks up with each girlfriend. They will also take the money and leave happily. The three you mentioned, Professor Xiao, are all girlfriends he has been with in the past year.”

Xiao Lou said: “It seems I’m right. The hair and fingerprints found in the basement, kitchen, and bathtub are all left by Xu Kai’s girlfriends. The earrings should be one of them. Obviously, he will Take your girlfriend home for the night.”

Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly: “It was not these people who killed him.”

Li Xinyang was startled, and said, “How are you sure about Team Yu?”

Yu Hanjiang said: “He is related to the murder we are investigating. The ice at the scene of the crime is exactly the same, the murder method is the same, and even the murder weapon is the same. This must be a serial homicide made by the same murderer. These are in your town. The girls who have been with him are not too suspicious. Tomorrow you call them all over for interrogation. If you can provide an alibi, let them go.”

Li Xinyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Okay.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “In addition, check the details of his cousin Zhang Xiaoyu. He is very guilty and should be hiding something from us.”

Li Xinyang nodded: “Understood.”

Yu Hanjiang patted the young captain on the shoulder: “Thanks for your hard work, let’s go back first, let’s talk about it after dawn.”

After leaving the police force, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou drove back to the hotel together.

When he returned to the room at four o’clock in the morning, Yu Hanjiang pinched his eyebrows and said to Xiao Lou: “I watched all the surveillance videos of the community. After the incident occurred at 4:30 in the afternoon, until the police arrived at 10 in the evening, the vehicles entering and leaving the community There are a total of thirty vehicles, and I have recorded all the license plates. In addition, no suspicious person similar to Qiao Xuening was found.”

Xiao Lou said: “Let’s sleep for a while, and we will go to the traffic police team to check tomorrow.”

The two went to sleep separately, and got up after only a few hours of sleep.

At 7 o’clock the next morning, Yu Hanjiang first called Qu Wanyue, and said: “Qiao Xuening must keep an eye on her, don’t let her run away. When Xiao Lou and I come back, we can find out her details. .”

Qu Wanyue said: “Don’t worry, I will find an excuse to teach her dance moves, and stay with her all day to watch her filming.”

Yu Hanjiang hung up the phone and came to the traffic police team to check the owner’s information with Xiao Lou.

After 4:30 in the afternoon yesterday, none of the vehicles leaving the villa area were suspicious. All car owners could find people. They were all residents of this small town. The detective captain Li Xinyang of the small town also checked and found them in turn. data of.

Some go to the supermarket to buy groceries, some go to dinner with their families…

All cars have other passengers who can prove the whereabouts of the car, and none of the cars are driven away by the driver alone.

Yu Hanjiang touched his chin, thoughtfully: “She didn’t drive away? It seems that she is very cautious, afraid that we will find her true information by checking the license plate number. It is very possible that she left the villa area on foot.”

Xiao Lou agreed: “In the case of Lin Yiyan, she drove Lin Yiyan’s car away at four in the morning and could not find her own car. This time, she didn’t drive at all and could leave on foot. There is only one exit in the community. I should be able to photograph her, right?”

Yu Hanjiang said: “But none of the pedestrians entering and leaving the community yesterday afternoon were like Qiao Xuening’s.”

Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, and said, “Did she escape over the wall?”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: “It is possible that although the fence of the villa area is relatively high, if she can climb trees, many places can go out of the wall. I have asked the property to provide me with monitoring of all locations in the community. Today we will continue to investigate. Check it out.”

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou went to the police team together.

Li Xinyang invited Xu Kai’s previous girlfriends over early in the morning.

All three have full alibi. Some sang with others in KTV, some permed their hair in the barber shop yesterday afternoon, and one girl made an appointment with three girlfriends to go shopping yesterday afternoon. All of their statements can be obtained by other people. Confirmed.

The ear studs belonged to one of his girlfriends. Why did they leave them on the roof balcony? The other party embarrassed that Xu Kai had some special hobbies, and Li Xinyang didn’t ask any more questions.

After making a simple transcript, he released the three of them.

As for Zhang Xiaoyu, after he was caught in the interrogation room, he did all the tricks. It turned out that he went to find his cousin last night because he had participated in the gambling and lost hundreds of thousands. I looked for my cousin for “Jianghu Emergency”, but I didn’t expect to see my cousin’s body when I opened the door and went in. He was so scared that he called the police.

After Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou arrived, Li Xinyang handed the prepared transcripts to Team Yu.

Yu Hanjiang took a closer look. He had expected it. Therefore, the three girlfriends and cousin Zhang Xiaoyu couldn’t find out anything, and he was not disappointed. After all, Xu Kai’s case and Lin Yiyan’s case are serial homicides, and the murderer is the same. The hair and jewelry of these girlfriends found in the villa can’t help the progress of the case at all.

Xiao Lou regretfully said: “The hair and fingerprints found in the search seem to be interference items.”

Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly: “The murderer has committed two consecutive crimes and has gained experience. She may be wrapped tightly all over, wearing gloves, so she will not leave any information that can be used to verify fingerprints and genes. Her ice cubes , It should also be made on-site.”

The murderer sneaked into Xu Kai’s room in advance, made a lot of ice cubes in the freezing layer of his refrigerator while Xu Kai was sleeping, then unexpectedly killed Xu Kai, buried the body with ice cubes, and took away the refrigerator. container.

In this way, the ice cubes in Lin Yiyan’s case can also be explained. The murderer also lurked in Lin Yiyan’s house in advance and used her refrigerator to make a lot of ice cubes on the spot. After killing Lin Yiyan, she also took away the ice box, making the police question the source of the ice.

Otherwise, it is easy for passers-by to suspect that the murderer holds so many ice cubes in his hand, and it is also difficult to move.

It is the quickest way to condense ice on site with water.

Yu Hanjiang said: “Let’s look at the monitoring of the community first.”

Captain Li Xinyang also took the initiative to help, called his colleagues, opened the surveillance video of the entire villa community provided by the property, and each was responsible for an area to check the surveillance in detail.

Everyone has been busy all day…

However, no one was found to have climbed out of the fence of the community.

Li Xinyang looked puzzled: “I didn’t drive away, nor climbed out of the wall. Could the murderer fly? Or would he burrow in the ground?”

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang thoughtfully: “The same is true for the Lin Yiyan case. During the monitoring of those days, we checked from beginning to end, and no suspicious vehicles entered, unless she was airborne or got into the community from the ground. .”

In the Lin Yiyan case, the murderer drove Lin Yiyan’s car when he left. This is relatively clear. As for how to get in? Since Lin Yiyan rarely returned to Moon Lake Villa, if the murderer had sneaked into the villa a month ago, it would be difficult for surveillance to find out.

However, Xu Kai’s case is different.

Xu Kai went home every day. The murderer could not hide in his house for too long. At most, when he went out for a drink last night, the murderer sneaked into the villa in advance to make preparations. He took the opportunity to kill Xu Kai and left this afternoon, no more than 24. Hourly monitoring is convenient for investigation.

However, there was no trace of the murderer entering or leaving the community in the surveillance.

How did the murderer enter the villa complex where Xu Kai lived? How did you leave again?

Could the murderer really fly?

This is not a martial arts script, the murderer will not fly out easily.

Xiao Louzheng was puzzled and suddenly listened to Yu Hanjiang’s deep voice: “I’m afraid we got into a misunderstanding of thinking from the beginning.”

Xiao Lou looked at him suspiciously: “What does Yu team mean?”

Yu Hanjiang said, “The murderer didn’t escape over the wall. She walked in and walked out in a fair manner.”

Xiao Lou was very surprised: “Since she went out in a fair manner, how can she cross the sea without being caught by surveillance?”

Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and said in a low voice: “Since someone can have a plastic surgery to be Qiao Xuening, then Qiao Xuening may also pretend to be someone else. During the surveillance, she should have been photographed, but unfortunately…we don’t know her.”

Qiao Xuening could not be found in the surveillance.

It’s probably because she has changed her face.

It’s best for everyone to watch it during the day, and I finish writing at night. When I go to the bathroom, I always feel that there is someone at home and it’s chilly 🙂
