Chapter 84: The Pious Death
When Gu Nankai passed the news of taking on a new case to the serious crime squad.
Li Meng and Gao Yuan both looked miserable, but Shang Lu seemed very interested. He took the information from Gu Nankai's hand and started flipping through it, looking very interested.
"Boss, we just finished Xie Lingling's case and now another case has come up. There are more than a few of us in the criminal police team." Gao Yuan said reluctantly with a bitter face, but his hand that was playing games on his mobile phone never slowed down for a moment.
"That's right, boss. Team Two can do it too. We always have to take a break. Every time we work on a case, we have no time to eat." Li Meng said while lifting weights not far away. His well-developed muscles and beads of sweat on his forehead made him look particularly brave.
Wu Qingluan and Cao Cang did not say anything. They looked at Gu Nankai and waited for his next words.
"This case is very important, everyone should get moving. Half a month has passed, and the murderer may kill again." Gu Nankai's tone was a little formal. As soon as he said this, Gao Yuan and Li Meng stopped their activities and looked in Gu Nankai's direction.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is too tragic." Shang Lu clicked his tongue a few times as he looked at the information. Although the little girl said it was tragic, the excitement in her eyes did not diminish at all.
Her several clicks aroused the curiosity of several others. Gao Yuan put down his phone, Li Meng wiped his sweat and came over, Wu Qingluan and Cao Cang also stood up from their seats and moved towards her. Shang Lu noticed the movements of several people, laughed, picked up the information, held it in his arms, looked at the male compatriots and smiled mysteriously: "To be honest, you'd better not read it, I'm afraid you can't stand it."
She giggled a few times and moved closer to Wu Qingluan, showing her the pictures inside mysteriously. Unexpectedly, Wu Qingluan blushed at the first sight, and the next moment she covered her mouth and began to dry heave. Shang Lu was anxious and quickly supported her. Gu Nankai stood close to Wu Qingluan's seat, so he quickly took her cup and handed it to her.
Wu Qingluan took a few gulps of water before she recovered. Her fair face was red from the dry heaving. She patted her chest and complained, "This is too disgusting. This is perverted. Oh my God!"
As she spoke, she picked up the cup and filled it with water, and finally recovered.
"What on earth is that? Let me see." Gao Yuan was completely aroused by Wu Qingluan's behavior. Why couldn't boys see it? He wouldn't look like Teacher Wu, would he?
Gao Yuan thought that he could take the information from Shang Lu while she was taking care of Wu Qingluan. Seeing that Wu Qingluan was fine, Cao Cang and Li Meng also hurried over. They wanted to see if there was anything about the case that made Wu Qingluan look like this.
Seeing this, the faces of the three grown men became very funny.
“This…this is really…”
Gao Yuan glanced at Cao Cang and Li Meng with a fake smile. Like Shang Lu, he clicked his tongue twice and swallowed his saliva: "It's tragic, it's really tragic..."
Cao Cang's face looked a little better. Li Meng couldn't tell what his expression was, but he looked at Gu Nankai with a fake smile: "Captain, this case is indeed tragic. Haha... How... How do we investigate this?"
Seeing that they had all looked, Gu Nankai also came over and asked everyone to sit down before saying, "At 7:25 a.m. on the 15th of this month, a sanitation worker found the first body behind a rock by the Min Lake in Longhai City. At 6:14 a.m. on the 26th of this month, a male citizen who was jogging in the morning found the second body behind the green belt of Longhai Park."
At this time, all the members of the serious crime team had recovered from the incident just now . With the lessons learned from the previous incident, everyone felt much better when they looked at the photos in the materials again.
Gu Nankai continued, "The condition of the bodies is roughly consistent with the information we have obtained. Both victims were naked and had their genitals cut off, and died of excessive blood loss. Secondly, you can see that the genitals of both victims were tattooed with peony-like flower shapes. According to eyewitnesses, when the victims were found, their genitals were carefully wrapped and tied with red ribbons and placed on the victims' chests. The victims were lying flat in a pious posture with their hands on their chests."
"Is the murderer doing performance art?" Gao Yuan sighed again, looking at the photo in the file with some sympathy: "This is equivalent to castration of one's own flesh and blood, right?"
The others all smiled helplessly to show that his joke was not funny. Gu Nankai continued, "The two victims died in the same way. I initially believe that this was a premeditated murder. If the murderer cannot be found as soon as possible, he will most likely continue to kill people."
Wu Qingluan flipped the file back to avoid seeing the bloody and weird scene again, then she frowned and looked at Gu Nankai: "It's been so long since the case happened, and the second team hasn't even found out the identity of the victim?"
Gu Nankai nodded slightly solemnly: "Yes, there is nothing at the crime scene that can identify the deceased, nor is there any clothing or anything like that. There has been no missing persons reported in the city in the past two months. The identities of the two deceased have not yet been determined."
"Oh, that means we have to investigate this case from the beginning. This pile of information is useless." Gao Yuan curled his lips and looked at Gu Nankai.
Gu Nankai looked somewhat helpless but had to admit: "Indeed, I have read the materials. Apart from the information that can help us get familiar with the situation at the crime scene, there is no other useful information."
He quickly looked at Shang Lu and said, "Shang Lu, perform an autopsy immediately to see if you can find anything new. I don't trust others to do things."
Shang Lu smiled brightly and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me, Boss. I'll go check out the corpse now!"
Shang Lu really couldn't wait for the autopsy. She could tell at a glance that the autopsy report sent by the second team was not detailed. When Gu Nankai said that, she stood up and ran to the autopsy room. Halfway through, she braked suddenly and stopped. She turned around and asked Gu Nankai: "Captain, the body has been delivered, right?"
"It has been sent. Please check it as soon as possible and give us an accurate answer."
Shang Lu smiled again: "Okay! Then I'm leaving!" When she turned a corner and could no longer see anyone, Gu Nankai retracted his gaze and continued: "Our task now is to identify the victim as soon as possible. We have to go to the crime scene. From these pictures, I think the first crime scene is very likely not where the body was found."
"But in the current situation, where can we find the identity information of these two victims?" Gao Yuan pursed his lips. It was so hot that it really made people not want to move.
"Let's go check out the scene together and see what we can find. We'll make plans after we've checked out the scene." Gu Nankai said thoughtfully.
Although Gao Yuan complained all the time, he was not lazy at all when he really took action. This surprised Gu Nankai. When he was about to get in the car, Gu Nankai smiled and said, "Gao Yuan, why are you so active all of a sudden? You were so bitter and resentful just now."
Gao Yuan chuckled: "Hey, Boss, I've realized something. It doesn't matter whether you are willing or not. You have to do things anyway. It's better to concentrate on doing them. Don't you think so?"
Gu Nankai was stunned for a moment, then he laughed heartily: "Indeed, that makes sense!"
The five people quickly got in the car and drove towards their destination. On the way, Cao Cang had contacted the two people who reported the discovery of the body, hoping to get more clues from them.
