Chapter 95 The murderer's knife skills
"As for corrosive liquids, it is indeed a good choice at the second crime scene." Shang Lu replied while thinking about Gu Nankai's words.
Gu Nankai waved his hand and said, "Let's put this question aside for now, because I still have some questions. Now I want everyone to sort out all the clues we have obtained."
The case has reached this point, and there seem to be a lot of clues, but everyone feels a little confused. Everyone agreed with the opinion proposed by Gu Nankai, and everyone found a place to sit down, and they actually felt much more comfortable.
Gu Nankai continued his distance, "From the clues we know now, the victim was most likely hypnotized before his death. He drank a large amount of Viagra given by the murderer under hypnosis, which led to his death from an overdose of Viagra. After the victim died, the murderer carved a peony with special meaning on the victim's reproductive organ. We don't know the ultimate meaning of this peony at this time. After that, the murderer cut off the victim's reproductive organ and wrapped it with a ribbon and placed it on the victim's heart."
At this point, Gu Nankai suddenly remembered something and asked Shang Lu: "By the way, Shang Lu, what tool did the murderer use to cut off the victim's reproductive organs?"
Speaking of this, Shang Lu was a little confused, and subconsciously asked back: "Huh? Didn't I tell you this?"
Seeing Gu Nankai quickly shook his head, Shang Lu looked at Wu Qingluan and the others. Everyone shook their heads at the same time. Shang Lu became even more confused and murmured, "I remember I told you, or was I too busy and mentally disturbed?"
Seeing everyone's expressions confirm that she had not said it, Shang Lu was shocked, but she did not dwell on this issue at the moment, and immediately told everyone: "The murderer used an ordinary knife to cut the victim's genitals. I checked the wound surface and found that it was a fruit knife that we can easily buy. However, according to my observation, the murderer's knife skills are first-class. Although it seems that it took several times to complete the cutting, I think it was out of revenge rather than his knife skills."
"What do you mean? " Gu Nankai was a little surprised that they didn't know such an important clue about Shang Lu, and asked with a bright look in his eyes.
Shang Lu finally realized at this moment that she had indeed not told everyone about this matter. She was always thinking about this matter at the time, and she actually mistakenly thought that everyone already knew this clue. She looked at everyone with some guilt, and quickly explained to Gu Nankai: "It's like this, I studied the wounds on the victim's lower body. Although the number of cuts made us mistakenly think that the murderer was not skilled at first glance, I analyzed each wound through those wounds. Both victims were cut eight times. Let's think about it, the male reproductive organ was cut eight times, which is actually a job that tests skills."
Shang Lu took a breath and continued, "What's even more surprising is that after comparing the lower body wounds of the two victims, they are exactly the same. This makes me more convinced that the murderer's knife skills are very advanced, even comparable to those of professional doctors. In other words, he is a professional doctor."
After saying all this, Shang Lu heaved a sigh of relief, clasped his hands together and expressed his guilt to everyone: "I'm so sorry, I always thought I had told everyone about this matter, and even in my subconscious mind everyone already knew this clue. I really, really don't know what's wrong with my brain!"
The little girl slapped her head in annoyance, using all her strength to punish herself, which shocked everyone. Everyone has seen Shang Lu's work attitude. This girl does not care about her relatives when she works. Today's work was definitely a mistake. Gu Nankai quickly glanced at Wu Qingluan, and Wu Qingluan understood what he meant in an instant.
"Oh, silly girl, why are you blaming yourself? People are often like that. You must have been thinking about it too much. Many people often have this situation. When you think about something too much, you fall into a kind of self-cognition. It's like we often haven't done something, but at a certain moment we always feel that we have done the same thing at some point. It's not your fault, and it's not too late now."
"Yes, yes, I'm always like this. I always feel like I have done something before!" After Wu Qingluan said this, Li Meng immediately expressed his own views as if he felt the same way. Gao Yuan and Cao Cang also immediately stood up to express the same recognition. Shang Lu still found it difficult to extricate herself from the guilt, but it was undeniable that what Wu Qingluan said was indeed how she felt.
"Boss, please punish me. No matter what, I almost caused a mistake in everyone's work." Shang Lu looked at Wu Qingluan with gratitude, and then said to Gu Nankai.
Gu Nankai smiled and said, "You said it yourself, it almost happened, but it hasn't happened yet."
Shang Lu looked at Gu Nankai blankly, but there was still some fear in his eyes.
Seeing her like this, Gu Nankai knew that she didn't understand what he meant, so he smiled and said, "To be honest, Teacher Wu said that it was that kind of situation, and I sometimes do that too."
Shang Lu still couldn't wipe off the guilt on her face. It was the first time Gu Nankai saw the girl like this. He started again, "Everything has its own way. It doesn't matter this time, but we must not make this mistake again next time. We are criminal police, especially those in the serious crime team. Every clue is too important to us. If we miss any clue, our work will be put in a passive position, and it will be too difficult to find a breakthrough again."
Shang Lu listened to Gu Nankai's words carefully . These words seemed to be a lesson for her. Gu Nankai's forgiveness made her feel a little better, but she still lacked her usual innocence. She looked at Gu Nankai with seriousness in her eyes and nodded heavily.
"Oh, okay, Shang Lu, don't take it too seriously. No one blames you. If it weren't for your autopsy report, we would still be at a loss." Gao Yuan is best at adjusting the atmosphere. He took a step forward to adjust the atmosphere. Wu Qingluan patted Shang Lu on the shoulder to indicate that no one really cared about it. Seeing that everyone was so serious about adjusting their mood even though they had done something wrong, Shang Lu felt warm in his heart. His usual happiness immediately appeared on his face and he said to everyone, "I was wrong in the first place. You don't have to comfort me. I will remember what the captain said. This situation will never happen again in the future!"
She looked straight at Gu Nankai, and Gu Nankai nodded and smiled at her, and the matter was over.
"Okay, let's continue with our previous analysis." Gu Nankai spoke again and brought the topic back to the case itself.
"Combined with what Shang Lu said just now, we now have the following characteristics of the murderer. First, the murderer can use hypnosis. Second, the murderer has inherited or even surpassed the tattooing skills of the tattoo master Hai Langui. Third, the murderer's knife skills are first-class. Combining these three points, do you have anything to say?"
Gu Nankai gave everyone the chance to speak. He first looked at Wu Qingluan. Wu Qingluan met his gaze, thought for a moment, and then said, "Combined with the murderer's modus operandi, I think these techniques of the murderer seem to have been deliberately practiced for murder. How should I put it? The murderer's behavior towards the deceased, strictly speaking, can reflect his hatred for the deceased. Now I think that the murderer is very likely to be a woman."
After Wu Qingluan finished speaking, she looked around at everyone, waiting for everyone to speak.
"To be honest, I now tend to believe that the murderer is a woman." Gu Nankai pursed his lips slightly and then spoke.
