Chapter 862: Hancheng Strategy (Sixteen)
The reason why "Jinro" has become the so-called national wine in South Korea is because of its low alcohol content and low price, so its alias is also called "poor man's wine".
Jack asked people to remove the "Jinro" that tasted so light that it could be replaced with "Ocean Blue", a Chinese liquor that is more common in South Korea.
In fact, neither of them is a good drinker, but Jack had said before that he would treat Ma Xidao to Chinese liquor, so he naturally couldn't break his promise, which made the two hostesses' eyes flash with $. This liquor is not cheap in South Korea, and it costs nearly 300 US dollars a bottle in a nightclub.
Ma Xidao grinned and took a sip, then put down the wine glass with a smile, "Since that bastard may not be the real murderer, then I have a clue here that you may be able to use."
Jack was a little confused. This guy was absent before noon today. Where did the clue come from now?
"Asiba, what's the look in your eyes?" His fat face flushed red, and he didn't know whether it was because he was drunk or because his character was questioned by his new friends.
"Didn't I say I would go and find out the situation for you? I've been wandering around Itaewon all afternoon today."
"Tell me about it. If it helps, I'll owe you a favor." Jack immediately became interested. He didn't expect that this guy wasn't really absent-minded before.
Ma Xidao leaned forward and lowered his voice mysteriously. "Recently, there is an urban legend circulating in Itaewon. It is said that people often see a female ghost in the middle of the night. She has long hair and wears a white dress.
I asked the police patrolling nearby. It is said that someone has really seen it. When the female ghost sees people, she will lift her long hair and reveal a very scary face."
"Female ghost? Urban legend?" Jack was a little confused. What is this?
"Oppa, you are so annoying."
"You are deliberately scaring us. I have to go home alone at night."
"Asiba, stop it."
Ma Xidao pushed away the two hostesses who kept acting coquettishly and said to Jack seriously.
"I didn't care at first, but a patrol officer mentioned a detail, saying that every time this female ghost appears, she pushes a supermarket shopping cart."
Jack's eyes lit up, "Do you suspect that this female ghost is the murderer in disguise?"
Ma Xidao smiled and spread his hands, "I don't know, but this matter is not too coincidental. The 'legend of the woman in white' happened to be popular in the past month."

Jack didn't stay for long. Since he had a clue, he didn't want to continue drinking with others. He immediately left Ma Xidao and returned to the FBI's place alone.
At this moment, everyone had just fallen asleep, and they were called up by someone with a smell of alcohol.
After Jack told everyone the "urban legend" that Ma Xidao had found out, Jubal stroked his chin and pondered for a long time before speaking.
"The proportion of male serial killers is as high as 90%, and because the scene of the body dumping showed a certain degree of organization, we have never considered the possibility of women in our previous profiles."
"But if the messy crime scene is combined with the scene of the body dumping, it can also be concluded that the murderer is a woman who does things without any rules." Aubrey continued to analyze.
Criminal psychology does not emphasize gender equality. Male and female serial killers are very different in terms of motives and methods of committing crimes.
From the perspective of motivation, the most common motives of female serial killers are for money and power, followed by revenge, while men are more related to sex, and derived from the desire for control and manipulation.
From the perspective of killing methods, female serial killers are more inclined to use poison, while male methods are mainly violent.
Jiejie nodded in agreement, "But when female serial killers use violent means, the crime scene will appear to be chaotic, but they are usually more careful when dumping the body, regardless of whether they are organized or not."
"In this case, we should not use sexual psychology to explain her behavior." Clay said and looked at Jack.
"Yes, we all know that Li Jianyu is good at playing the strong side in intimate relationships and taking the lead, which is manifested by asking his girlfriend to undergo plastic surgery. This is a common "PUA" method.
Then the true identity of the murderer we are looking for may be an ex-girlfriend who was once asked by him to undergo plastic surgery. In connection with the urban legend of the "woman in white", she may have been abandoned after the plastic surgery failed.
And those disfigured dead are her self-replacement objects."
After listening to Jack's speculation, Alice's fingers were already flying flexibly on the keyboard.
"Wait a minute, this shouldn't be hard to check, but it will take some time to retrieve the relevant plastic surgery medical records. That bastard has too many ex-girlfriends. I'll start from the most recent ones and work my way back."
Hannah pulled out a chair and sat next to her, and turned on her computer. "I remember that Li Jianyu had several fiancées who had canceled their engagements. Well, this is it, Liu Xiubin, a real estate agent, who was engaged to him about two years ago."
Not long after, Hannah cheered, and a photo of a slender and pretty woman appeared on the screen. "Bingo, guess what I found."
Everyone rushed to her computer screen. Jubal was the closest and finished reading the records first. "Liu Xiubin used to work for a real estate company, and that real estate company was the one that sold the office in Itaewon to Li Jianyu."
Aubrey was immediately delighted, "So as a real estate agent, she probably has the key to that office, so she knows how to get in and out of there without attracting attention."
As he spoke, he approached Alice's computer again and spoke excitedly, "Honey, can you find Liu Xiubin's address?"
Alice rolled her eyes at him, but did not correct his title, "I don't know, the apartment she rented was rented out more than a year ago. Not only that, she deleted all her belongings shortly after she terminated her engagement with Li Jianyu. social account.
I can't find any records of her subsequent work, it's like she disappeared from the world. "
"I made another discovery. I checked the Facebook page of Lauren Barrett, Li Jianyu's American fiancée, and I found that when she started dating Li Jianyu, it happened to be around the time that Li Jianyu and Liu Xiubin broke off their engagement."
Hannah raised her hands like a proud schoolboy.
"Then there is a motive. Li Jianyu and Lauren Barrett were engaged for less than a month, and the first victim was killed two weeks ago."
Jiejie rubbed her hair in praise, "Lauren is a blonde beauty. Just like Li Jianyu said, the natural three-dimensional facial features of white beauties were the standard he once asked his ex-girlfriends to have plastic surgery. They were born with Liu Xiubin. competitors.
This explains why she chose three victims, who were seen as substitutes for her rivals. "
"It's not just that." Jubal suddenly realized after being reminded, "What if the three deceased are not just substitutes?"
As he spoke, he looked at Jack, "Do you remember what we found during the autopsy? What if those disfigurement methods were not just for venting anger?"
Jack looked solemn, "The murderer's techniques have been improving. She is practicing for the opponent she really wants to deal with, Lauren."
