Chapter 96 Reappearance of the Victim
After listening to Gu Nankai 's words, Gao Yuan quickly said: "I agree with this statement. Based on the fact that the victims took an overdose of Viagra, I think the murderer must have lured them to the crime scene before committing the crime."
Cao Cang still had some doubts. He said, "If it's a female, then the murderer's psychological quality is too high. I have observed the crime scene. The part outside the body that is not in line with the size of the body is just the width of an adult man's shoe."
Gu Nankai waved his hand: "No, Cao Cang, I also noticed this after you mentioned it, but I later found a new clue. The murderer should have deliberately shown male characteristics."
Seeing Cao Cang frown, Gu Nankai quickly added: "It's the same as what you thought. At first I also thought that this was the extent of a man's weight stepping on the ground, but then I looked carefully and found that the weight of the heel at the stepping point was slightly different from what we speculated."
Cao Cang's eyes lit up: "Captain, what you mean is that although the murderer used camouflage, the actual weight is still different?"
"That's right." Gu Nankai nodded. "It's a small deviation. It's not your fault that you didn't see it. I just have a little more experience and a little more caution. So all the clues show that the murderer we should be looking for should be a woman."
"But now even if we know that the murderer is a female, where can we find her?" Li Meng said, scratching his hair in embarrassment.
When talking about this, everyone's faces showed some frustration. What method did the murderer use to conceal his own identity while not wanting them to know the identity of the deceased?
It was getting late and everyone was exhausted after a day's work. It seemed as if nothing had been accomplished after a busy day. Everyone was in a low mood for a moment. At this moment, Gu Nankai's phone rang. Everyone looked at him at the same time. Gu Nankai had answered the call immediately.
His face changed slightly.
"The location is over there. We'll be there right away." Gu Nankai quickly replied after a brief call. When everyone in the serious crime team heard Gu Nankai's words, their hearts skipped a beat. From Gu Nankai's words, they already knew that there must be a new case.
Gu Nankai’s worries were not wrong, the murderer indeed struck again.
Without saying much, Gu Nankai and others rushed to the crime scene as soon as possible.
"The deceased is a female, Room 502, Building 4, Unit 3, Jinhai Mingyuan."
As soon as he got in the car, Gu Nankai spoke in a calm voice, with a sharp light in his eyes.
"How could it be a woman?" Wu Qingluan asked first: "If this is the case, our previous reasoning will be biased again."
"That's what they said on the phone. We'll have to wait until we get to the scene to see the specific situation." Gu Nankai darkened his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Can we identify the victim?" Cao Cang asked immediately. If the identity of the victim can be identified, it will provide a great breakthrough for them in finding clues to the murderer.
Gu Nankai pursed his lips. He was also concerned about the issue of Cao Cang, but because the call was too short, he only got clues about the crime scene. He was not very clear about this. He nodded slightly and said, "It's not clear yet. We can only know when we get to the scene. I hope we can get some useful information this time."
He seemed to have thought of something: "Since the crime scene can be traced back to the residents of the community, I think we can get more clues this time than from the first two victims."
Everyone was full of hope for this realization. Li Meng drove fast while the others took a short rest in the car. During this time, Gu Nankai suggested replacing Li Meng so that he could also take a rest, but Li Meng strongly refused. Seeing that he was still energetic, Gu Nankai did not insist anymore and closed his eyes to rest for a while, but his mind was still working violently.
Not long after, the group arrived at Room 502, Building 4, Unit 3, Jinhai Mingyuan. Nearby police had already secured the scene. As it was almost late at night, there were some residents watching but not many.
"Where is the person who reported the case?" The police officer who received the call quickly ran over when he saw Gu Nankai and others coming. Gu Nankai asked a question first.
The police officer quickly pointed to a middle-aged woman in the crowd. At that moment, she was standing on tiptoe and leaning inside. She saw a policeman pointing at her. The man in plain clothes next to her glanced at her sharply. Just as she was startled, someone came over and called her over for questioning.
"Officer, I really don't know anything." The middle-aged woman came over and tried to distance herself from the crime scene. She glanced at the crime scene and shrugged her shoulders, looking very disgusted, as if there was something bad going on there.
"Sister, you are the one who reported the case, right?" Gu Nankai asked first after seeing her performance.
"Yes, yes, I reported the case." The woman nodded quickly, but soon explained: "Comrade police, I just came out to take out the trash, and saw that her door was ajar, so I wanted to remind her. When I opened the door, I saw the scene inside..."
The woman shrank her neck and said, "It was so tragic! I was terrified! Then I called the police!"
Gu Nankai listened to her words, but he looked around and found that this building had two households per floor, and 502 and 503 were opposite each other. He glanced at the surrounding walls, and then looked at the direction behind her where the woman pointed: "Sister, was there a surveillance camera there before?"
The woman turned around and looked at what Gu Nankai said, and soon nodded: "Yes, police comrade, our community has been here for a long time, and the surveillance is almost broken. Because of this incident, there have been many petty thefts in the community in the past six months. Some time ago a thief broke into someone's house and stole everything. The property management took it seriously and was reinstalling surveillance these days. I didn't expect this to happen. It's so unlucky."
Gu Nankai raised his eyebrows: "You mean, there is no surveillance here recently, right?"
"Yes, it was just demolished a week ago. The whole community has been demolished."
Gu Nankai sighed secretly. The murderer came prepared again. Since there was no surveillance here, it meant that it would be difficult for them to determine the murderer's whereabouts.
"Auntie, as a neighbor of 502's resident and the person who reported the case, please tell our staff what kind of person this resident is like. The more we know about her situation, the better. Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Nankai had a good attitude. The woman felt the respect from the police and was naturally happy to help Gu Nankai and others. She seemed to have a lot to say. Gu Nankai waved and called Wu Qingluan over.
"This is the person who reported the case. Please learn about the victim's situation and interview the people around to see if you can find more clues. Let's go to the core scene to look for clues."
Wu Qingluan's face was a little pale at this moment. She had just seen the corpse with Shang Lu. Although she had already prepared herself not to retreat even at the bloodiest crime scene, she still couldn't stand it. She wanted to persevere and overcome her inability to bear the sight of this scene, but she didn't expect Gu Nankai to call her over.
Wu Qingluan felt a little warm in her heart, and always felt that Gu Nankai called her over out of kindness.
"Leave this to me." She said to Gu Nankai with a smile on her face.
