Chapter 58: town in the mist 2

    In order to find clues as soon as possible, Shijiu and Lin Mutao did not rest in the room, but walked out of the guest house to find clues.

    They asked at the front desk of the guest house and found that there is only one police station in town. When asked the address of the police station, the two of them went straight to the police station to check the case information.

    There was only one old police officer in the police station dozing, Shijiu stepped forward, and tapped the knuckle of his index finger on the desk. The old police officer was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair, and when he saw the two of them, he immediately sobered up.

    The old police officer stood up, straightened the police cap on his head, and asked, "Are you two sent from above to investigate that case..."

    Lin Mutao nodded and said, "Yes, do you have any details about the case?"

    "Yes, yes, yes!" The old police officer took out a file bag from the drawer and handed it to the two of them. He said apologetically: "Because we haven't had any major cases in our town for a long time, the police station is seriously short of people, so we can only trouble the two of you. If there is anything you don't understand in the information, you can ask me, and I can answer it. answer."

    It seems that in this copy, although the police station exists, it cannot provide any effective help to the two of them. The investigation of the whole case still depends on the two of them.

    Shi Jiu took the document bag, nodded at the old police officer, and then went to a table in the corner with Lin Mutao to read the documents.

    The material records the circumstances of each girl's injury in great detail and is arranged in chronological order.

    Due to privacy issues, the names of the girls are not displayed, but are displayed in the order of victim girl 1, victim girl 2….

    The first girl was victimized in January of the previous year, and it was almost New Year's Eve, so the girl's parents were busy cleaning and so on, and did not find that the girl was missing. After the girl disappeared for 12 hours, the parents remembered to call the police and finally found the victim girl in the abandoned train tunnel.

    The girl's trousers were thrown aside, almost freezing to death because of the cold weather. She had binding marks on her body. After a health check at the hospital, it was found that there were tear marks on her lower body/body, no body/fluid marks, and traces of drug addiction were detected.

    After reading the case record, Lin Mutao raised her head and glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall of the police station, and found that it was still January, indicating that the first case was almost two years away. .

    At that time, the police in the town were also investigating this case, but because there was too little evidence to catch the culprit, the case was listed as one of the unsolved cases and was sealed in the police station file in the bag. But I didn't expect this case - but it was just the beginning.

    Although the first case made the parents of many children in the town terrified, after this case, the town was still calm and peaceful. So parents let their guard down again.

    The victim of the second girl was in June of the previous year. She was also found in a train tunnel, and was also torn and drugged. The same modus operandi makes it easy to guess that it is the same murderer as the first case.

    After the second case, the frequency of crimes committed by the prisoners increased significantly. Basically, there will be a crime once every two months, and it is the same situation.

    In the most recent case, last month, eight girls have been harmed so far.

    Lin Mutao guessed: "The time difference between the first victim and the second victim is five months, and the frequency of committing crimes has been significantly shortened after that. Is this the case? It can be said that the prisoner is getting more and more courageous? And there is a certain degree of certainty that he will not be caught?"

    Shijiu put forward his own views: "The perpetrator's modus operandi is not difficult to imitate. The first case and the second case are separated by a long time, and it is possible that the prisoner of the first case and the second case The prisoners in the case are not the same, the prisoner in the first case has already washed his hands.

    Because in order to ensure the fairness and justice of the live broadcast platform, even if it is Shijiu, because he did not appear in the bug copy for testing, but appeared in the normal copy, he could not get any information and tips of the live copy . So Shijiu and Lin Mutao don't know anything about the whole case, so they can only rely on guesswork.

    It is not unreasonable to say that the wine is not outdated. In many serial cases, admirers of the murderer will appear, and they will imitate the crime.

    If it is as Shijiu guessed, then there are several scenarios.

    The first case is that the first case is the prisoner 1's temporary intention, but it caused a storm in the town and attracted the attention of many people. In the subsequent case, another prisoner imitated prisoner 1 and carried out the subsequent crime. This is Shijiu's guess.

    The second case is that all the cases are committed by the same person. He was relatively timid when he did the first case. Seeing that no one caught him, after five months Do the second case. After each committing a crime, he accumulated experience and became more daring, which increased the frequency of committing crimes. This is Lin Mutao's guess.

    The third case is more complex, where these cases are done by two people. For example, the first case was done by Prisoner 1, the second case was done by Prisoner 2, and the third case was done by Prisoner 1.

    The task given by the copy is to find out the case, then they have to find all the prisoners, and the difficulty suddenly increases.

    Shijiu thought about it and ruled out the third case. He said: "According to the third case, there are two prisoners. So how can the two prisoners be sure that every time the fog fogs up, they will not touch each other when they commit crimes? The number of fogging times is limited, It's very possible to meet each other. Unless the two of them know each other and negotiate a good time? Then why don't they commit crimes together? Why is it so troublesome.

    According to the existing information, all cases were completed by one person, and there is no trace of a second person. "

    Lin Mutao nodded, raised her head and asked, "Do you have any more detailed information about the first case and the second case?"

    The old police officer was still in a daze, and after a while, he realized that Lin Mutao was asking him. "What more information do you need?" he asked.

    Lin Mutao: "At that time, how could it be determined that the same murderer did the case?" Since the police station put the first case and the second case together, then the police station must have There is other evidence, but not in the information bag.

    The old police officer searched his memory in his mind and said: "There is, there is! When the first girl woke up, we asked her for a confession, and she told us that she was obsessed at the time. Confused, I can only see the prisoner wearing a black trench coat, but he can't see his face clearly."

    "The second girl, we also asked. She also said that she saw the prisoner wearing a black trench coat."

    The old police officer also knew Lin Mutao's suspicions, and then explained: "Because the question of confession is confidential, our police station will not disclose it to the townspeople. It is impossible for people to know the clothes of the first prisoner, so even if it is imitating the crime, it is impossible to wear the same black trench coat so coincidentally. Therefore, we guess that the same person committed the crime from beginning to end. "

    Lin Mutao asked: "Then...the victims in the back, have you asked for a confession? Do you have any other clues?"

    The old police officer shook his head regretfully, "In the first two cases, the amount of the drug taken by the prisoner was relatively small, so the two children could see some clues vaguely. Later, the prisoner accumulated experience, the next The amount of medicine is also relatively large, so the children who were injured later did not provide any clues."

    Shijiu rubbed his chin and asked, "So did you check that black trench coat? Do you have any clues?"

    The old police officer sighed, "It's just a black trench coat, and there are no iconic decorations, it's too difficult to check. There are too many people in town with black trench coats, even I have a black one. This clue cannot be broken through at all.” This clue can only prove that the first case and the second case were committed by the same prisoner.

    Then Lin Mutao's task is to find the only prisoner.

    Shijiu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Why is it not you who came to pick us up today? It's Mr. Dong?"

    No wonder Shijiu asked.

    As the police officers sent from above to investigate the strange case in the town, they were not received by the town police, but by a high school teacher who had nothing to do with the case. Who will be most worried about the arrival of the new police? Must be the culprit.

    Old policeman: "There are only two policemen in our police station, except for me, a new young man. The young man broke his leg a few days ago and went to the hospital, so I was the only one in the police station. People. I have to be on duty in the police station, and I can't receive the two of them, so I asked Mr. Dong to help me. What's the matter? Is there something wrong with Mr. Dong?"

    It turned out that the old policeman asked Mr. Dong to receive it, not Mr. Dong's initiative, so there should be no problem.

    Shijiu said: "It's okay, just ask. Can you tell us what kind of person Mr. Dong is?" Today, it can be seen that Mr. Dong is very respected by the townspeople. But he still looks young. As an ordinary high school teacher, does he have anything to respect?

    Speaking of Dong De, the old police officer talked endlessly, praising Dong De like his own children. "Although Mr. Dong is not from our town, but ah, Mr. Dong was raised by the people in our town, and has been very polite and well-behaved since he was a child.

    Dong De has a distant uncle from our town. He is quite learned. Dong De went to his uncle's house to play when he was free. That child is very sensible. Later, Dong De grew up a bit, and he didn't come here. He asked his uncle to find out that the child was admitted to the university.

    After his uncle died, after graduating from university, Dong De volunteered to come to our town to be a teacher! It's really promising and don't forget us, this is the first college student teacher in our town! "

    Lin Mutao asked, "When did Dong De come to the town to be a teacher?"

    The old police officer tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "I don't remember very well, it's been a long time... It seems like the year before last?"

    From the words of the old police officer, it seems that there is nothing strange about Dong De, so it is really a coincidence that he is the first person to speak to the two anchors in Heping Town.

    Lin Mutao and Shijiu came out of the police station, found a restaurant for dinner, and then returned to the guest house to rest.

    The first day I came to Heping Town passed like this, and I got nothing.

    Lin Mutao lay on the bed with her arms bent as pillows, she sighed at the marks on the dirty ceiling.

    Shijiu asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried about this copy?"

    "Yes." Lin Mutao turned over and lay on her side on the bed, looking at Shijiu on the other bed. Although the lights were turned off, she could only see a faint lying figure, but she felt a little more at ease, "This is the first time I have encountered a live copy of this kind of crime solving. I'm a little worried that I won't be able to finish it."

    The previous dungeon could not be completed, so at most she felt that she just lost some rewards. But this copy, every victim is too real, those photos are bloody. She is worried that her failure will lead to the escape of the real murderer, which is a kind of psychological pressure.

    The same characteristics of victims currently available are:

    1. They are all girls, no more than ten years old.

    2. The time of the crime is foggy, and the place of the crime is the abandoned train tunnel.

    3. All girls were violated, but there was no trace of body/fluid.

    From these characteristics, there is no useful information at all.

    Shi Jiu comforted softly: "Such a large-scale serial case must be spread in the town. I believe that in addition to the clues already in the police station, many people in the town also have many other guesses."

    In the moment before falling asleep, Lin Mutao and Shijiu discussed it. Tomorrow, I will focus on asking other people in the town to find some suspects.

    The author has this to say:

    *******

    It is the first time for the hero and heroine to solve the case, so there will inevitably be some guesswork and detours.

    It won’t be as straightforward as the first few copies…
