Chapter 17 Another Murder
The murderer's modus operandi had obviously improved, which made everyone in the task force feel deeply pressured.
The crime scene was a double room in a small hotel . There were no windows in the room. When the police arrived at the scene, the door was locked from the inside. The person who reported the case was a hotel waiter. According to her recollection, she smelled a strong smell of blood when she was about to clean the room, so she decisively called the police.
The police who arrived at the hotel first stated that after they broke into the hotel, they saw this scene.
A man was lying naked on the bed, his blood covering the sheets and floor, while the clothes he was wearing were neatly folded on the bedside table.
"The wound is on the back of the deceased. Based on the temperature and corpse spots of the body, it is estimated that the time of death was last night." Bai Ling said.
"Another rib was taken away?" Wang Zheng asked.
"Not this time." Bai Ling was silent for a while, then pointed at the victim's thigh. "The victim's thigh bone was removed, and there was an obvious scar on the inside of the thigh. After the scar was removed, the murderer filled it with fillers."
"It's a rubber stick." Wang Zheng put on gloves, turned over the wound on the deceased's thigh, looked at the dark yellow object exposed, and spoke.
"That's right." Bai Ling nodded. "Another point is that the murderer's surgical skills seem to have improved again. He didn't use the fishing line from last time this time."
"Can you level up by killing people?" Gao Feng asked doubtfully.
"I think you should say less." Wang Zheng shook his head. He was also very surprised that the murderer's methods of committing crimes improved so quickly in such a short period of time.
"I think this person looks familiar." Gao Feng suddenly pointed at the dead man and asked, "Isn't this the person who reported the case?"
"What!" Upon hearing this, Gu Xia quickly took out his mobile phone and compared it carefully. Sure enough, the deceased was the person who reported the auditorium case.
"The reporter first met the victim, then he checked into a hotel room, took out his own thigh bone, and killed himself?" Gao Feng touched his chin and asked, "Why does something seem wrong?"
"Nonsense , have you ever seen someone cutting themselves for fun? And there's a wound on your back, this is definitely not something you can do." Huamei looked speechless.
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Wang Zheng knew Gao Feng was a chatterbox, so he turned around and said to Gu Xia helplessly: "Professor Gu, it is almost certain that this case is definitely related to the Z001 case."
"Yeah." Gu Xia responded dully, and said to everyone: " Let's go out first and let Wang Zheng observe the scene himself."
Everyone nodded. They knew that Gu Xia was going to let Wang Zheng be an empath. Huamei, who had previously not allowed Wang Zheng to be an empath, was unusually silent this time. She was the last one to leave the room and even closed the door on her own initiative.
"I was invited into the room. He invited me. How did he find me?"
Wang Zheng sat on the chair like an indifferent spectator. In his eyes, the room seemed to have returned to the state it was in before the crime. The deceased was kneeling in front of him, telling him something, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
"Did he ask me to kill him? I think so. He feels tormented by nightmares, but life itself is a nightmare, isn't it?"
Wang Zheng stood up expressionlessly, turned around, and touched something in the air. It seemed that something extra appeared in his hand. Then the next moment he made a strange gesture, walked slowly to the victim, and covered his mouth with his hand.
In his eyes, the victim seemed to slowly stop struggling and fainted on the bed. Then he stood in front of the bed, staring at the naked back, and then came to his senses as if thinking about something.
…
"The victim had a brief exchange with the murderer before his death, and was knocked unconscious." Wang Zheng walked out the door, thought for a while and said, "This clearly explains why there were no signs of struggle at the scene."
"How did the murderer make the victim come here on his own?" Gu Xia looked puzzled.
Judging from the victim's appearance, he weighed at least 200 kilograms, so it is very unlikely that he was drugged and brought here. Moreover, the victim's social circle was very clean, and there was no record of him booking a hotel room.
"Where is the victim's cell phone?" Wang Zheng suddenly asked.
"Cellphone?" Gu Xia was startled, and quickly flipped through the on-site report that the local police had just sent. After reading it carefully, a hint of excitement suddenly flashed across his face: "There is no record of a cellphone in the on-site report. The cellphone is very likely in the possession of the murderer."
"I will contact the technical team immediately." Gao Feng also showed an excited expression. He thought he had guessed what Gu Xia meant.
We have entered the era of smart mobile phones. Almost every mobile phone has positioning software . If the phone is really taken away by the murderer, then a simple positioning operation is required to find the murderer.
"It's a wasted trip." Wang Zheng looked at Gao Feng's departing back and shook his head helplessly.
"How to say?"
Bai Ling asked curiously, and Gu Xia just smiled without saying anything.
"Think about it carefully, if someone kills someone for money, would you take the victim's bones?" Wang Zheng asked back.
"Definitely not." Bai Ling thought about it seriously and said, "If I were to kill someone for money, I would definitely not choose such a complicated method. I would just kill him somewhere and take the money. I would definitely not choose a place as conspicuous as a hotel."
"So that's it." Wang Zheng spread his hands and explained with a smile: "Although we haven't figured out the murderer's real purpose for killing, it's obvious that the murderer didn't commit the crime for money. He might just do it for fun."
"Where's the cell phone?" Bai Ling was still a little confused.
"Nowadays, we no longer communicate by letter. All communication methods basically rely on the Internet, and mobile phones are the best communication method for modern college students." Wang Zheng smiled and said, "I'm afraid the murderer must have taken the phone and disposed of it. After confirming that the information on it could not be recovered, he discarded it somewhere."
"Then...what is he going to do?" Bai Ling asked quickly.
"Who knows? Maybe he went to locate the phone." Wang Zheng spread his hands and smiled.
Just as Wang Zheng expected, Gao Feng did leave to locate the phone. By the time he returned to the office that the police had specially prepared for the task force, it was already late at night.
"Have you found your cell phone?" Wang Zheng raised his head, looked at Gao Feng, who was covered in dust, and suddenly couldn't stop smiling.
Gao Feng looked very disheveled. His casual clothes were stained with dirt from somewhere, and he smelled a sour and foul smell all over.
"Damn, this guy threw his cell phone into the garbage station!" Gao Feng took out his cell phone from his pocket and threw it on the table.
"How is it? Are there any call records in it?" Bai Ling stood up from the other side holding the file, looked at Gao Feng carefully, and immediately laughed.
"Stop laughing." Gao Feng was a little speechless. "This bastard's method was really clean. All the communication records in the phone were useless. The memory card was also removed. After the technical team checked, they found that the positioning software inside was installed later!"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent. Gao Feng was indeed fooled by the murderer. It could even be said that the entire task force was fooled by the murderer.
"What are the detailed autopsy results of the victim?" Wang Zheng suddenly asked.
"In addition to the wounds we initially examined, we found signs of sexual assault in the victim's mouth and stomach..." Bai Ling suddenly became shy.
"What!?" Wang Zheng was stunned and asked quickly, "You mean, the male victim was...?"
"Yes." Bai Ling nodded and said, "First, the victim's oral mucosa was damaged. Secondly, I found semen in his stomach. It should be caused by violence during his lifetime."
"Our victim is a man!" Gao Feng couldn't help but tremble.
"What about the results of the semen test?" Wang Zheng asked. If the other party is a habitual offender, the semen test results will be a significant breakthrough in the case.
"I compared it with the local DNA database, and the test results are..." Bai Ling said here, lowered her head and looked at the file again, and then her expression was extremely surprised, "The semen in the victim's stomach belongs to the "off-campus pervert"!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the task force members present suddenly became interesting. Even Huamei, who was far away and had no interest in the case, stood up at once.
