Chapter 22 New Victim

   "Guys, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Harry greeted him with a hippie smile.

  Lawrence threw him a cigarette: "Bad news, I don't want to be happy before being unhappy."

   "That makes sense." Harry nodded: "Just an hour ago, the victim of the third **** case appeared, and the deputy team took other people to investigate the scene."

"What?"

  Dean and Lawrence were surprised when they heard the news.

  The first **** and homicide case occurred more than half a month ago, and the second case occurred the day before yesterday. Everyone thought that the murderer would be the same as before and would give them some buffer time.

  The current result is obviously beyond their expectations.

   "This is troublesome. Consecutive crimes will make everyone around us panic, and we will also face a lot of pressure." Lawrence took a deep breath of cigarettes, with a sad expression on his face.

  Dean looked at Harry: "Harry, tell me the good news."

"The good news is that I got the information about the supermarket security guard." Harry leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath: "If you suspect that they are the murderers, you probably don't worry too much. I received news from Phoebe, the first The time of the three cases has been determined to be around ten o'clock last night, and those security guards live in the dormitory provided by the security company, so there is no time to commit crimes at all."

   "FK, Harry, these are two pieces of bad news!" Lawrence cursed secretly, looking at Dean: "Let's go, as a qualified police detective, you also have to learn how to investigate crime scenes."

  Dean nodded and followed Lawrence.

  Harry is not happy.

He stopped at the door of the office with a pitiful expression: "Guys, it's too late for you to go, maybe the deputy team and the others have come back with the people from the forensics department. The key is, do you have the heart to continue to leave me here alone? ?”

   "Fuck off, Harry, your face makes me sick."

  Lawrence made a vomiting motion, pushed Harry away, and quickly pulled Dean to run away.

   "Dean." Harry still didn't give up, looking at Dean pitifully.

  He doesn't want to go to jail in the office.

  The only thing that greeted him was Dean's middle finger

  Leave the police station.

  Lawrence hung up the phone with the old Hunter of the deputy team, and turned to look at Dean, who was in the co-pilot position: "The crime scene is in the Ian community, just like before, it is also an old community."

   "Ian District?"

  Dean lowered his head and pulled out a map of downtown Los Angeles from under him.

   A moment.

   His brow furrowed.

  Three crime scenes form a triangle on the map.

  In downtown Los Angeles, there are not many cameras in public areas.

   Consider departure time and concealment.

  The residence of the murderer is very likely to be within this triangle area.

  But this area is not close to Ruosi's Gym, but is within the radiation range of Sam's Supermarket. Could it be that the murderer really picked his prey in Sam's Supermarket?

   "What did you find?"

  Lawrence controlled the car, nimbly shuttling through the traffic.

  Dean put away the map: "Three crime scenes are not very far away. I suspect that the murderer lives in a community in this area."

   "Is the range large?"

   "Not too big.

  Including the three communities where the homicide occurred, there are only five communities in total.

   So I thought it was weird.

  The law and order here is not good, and many residents will install cameras outside the house.

  The murderer chooses the surrounding targets to act, and the possibility of exposure is very high, which does not meet the criminal psychology analysis we gave him earlier. "

   Dean sighed.

  The more clues there are.

  The more he felt confused.

  Solving a crime is much more difficult than being a scavenger.

   "Haha, rookie, this is to solve the case. What we can do is to verify the clues every time we find them, regardless of whether they are reliable or not, and finally find possible breakthroughs from them."

  Lawrence may seem reckless, but he is actually careful. He noticed the change in Dean's mood and expressed comfort.

  Dean nodded and stopped talking.

  The two came to the scene of the crime.

  It has been dealt with almost here.

  Old Hunter and others have already left, but another group of Phoebe and Robert are still here. In addition, outside the cordon maintained by the patrolmen, there are also many reporters and onlookers who have been reluctant to leave for a long time.

  Lawrence took Dean, did not go in directly, but stood outside the crowd, carefully observed the onlookers, and taught Dean at the same time: "Dean, the iconic murderer, often returns to the scene of the crime.

  Some are for clearing evidence.

  Some are to observe the police detectives' investigation, so as to speculate on the police's next move.

   Some are narcissistic paranoid personalities, trying to get satisfaction and excitement from the panic of the masses and the response of the police.

  Some criminals with high IQs will even offer help to guide the direction of solving the case while enjoying the pleasure of deformity. "

   Dean listened carefully.

   These are all knowledge that he has never been exposed to before.

  However, the faces of these onlookers were either curious or uneasy, and the faces of the reporters were even more excited. Dean couldn't see anything unusual at all.

  He turned his head and looked at Lawrence: "Lawrence, how are you doing, did you find anything?"

   "No, let's go up."

  Lawrence shook his head, led Dean to show his ID to the guarding patrolman, and entered the courtyard.

  Before entering the house, the two put on gloves and foot covers.

  In the house, Phoebe is teaching Robert some surveying skills.

   Hear movement.

   The two stopped.

   "How about it, how many clues have you found this time?"

  Lawrence took Dean and asked Phoebe about the survey results.

   "Some new discoveries." An angry look appeared on Phoebe's face: "This time the murderer was even more cruel. The lower body of the deceased was broken, and the murderer even left some unknown red substances inside!"

  This is provocation!

"nothing else?"

"No." Phoebe shook her head: "The same method of breaking into the house, the same criminal habits, the murderer carefully cleaned the room with a vacuum cleaner after the murder, and the newly discovered red substance in the victim's body still needs to be tested. I can look forward to some rewards from fishing at night.”

   "This feeling is really unpleasant."

   Lawrence's face trembled.

  Things are not good right now.

  Consecutive successful crimes often make the murderer inflated, and then become more crazy and perverted.

the other side.

  Seeing that the content of the conversation between the two was not nutritious, Dean simply followed his previous criminal habits and combined the investigation knowledge he had learned in the police academy to investigate on the scene.

   He is just a rookie when it comes to surveying the scene.

   But when it comes to cleaning up criminal traces, Dean is very sophisticated.

  Generally, burglary and murder, where traces are left, are concentrated in burglary, fingerprints, hair, shoe prints, and methods of killing.

   Following this line of thought, Dean started his first survey.

  This kind of old courtyard generally has a lot of window glass for lighting, especially in the living room near the courtyard.

  The murderer came in through the sliding door in the yard.

  On the clasp lock, use a tool to draw a round hole the size of an arm, and then reach out to open the clasp

  Follow the trace.

  Dean walked all the way to the bedroom.

  The bed has been stained red with blood, and the corpse's mark is located next to the closet. The posture is weird, similar to the upper body lying on the floor, with the legs spread out on the wall, seductive.

  Dean glanced at the wardrobe aside, lost in thought.

  Generally, when the victim is violated.

  The victim will struggle wildly, forcing the murderer to leave some blood or hair.

  The reason why there are so few clues in this case is that the murderer forces the victim to drink the drug every time before he strikes.

  Therefore, there is a high probability that this pose was made by the murderer.

  Think here.

  Dean yelled out of the house: "Phoebe, is the victim this time similar in appearance to the previous victim?"

   "Yes, she is very beautiful and has a good figure. By the way, my colleagues in the forensic department said that she is over 1.8 meters and has been exercising all the year round. If she hadn't been drugged, the murderer might not have succeeded."

   Got the answer from Phoebe.

  Dean immediately walked to the bed, closed his eyes, and then imitated the murderer, hugged the void with both hands, and pulled back hard.

  He may have found a new clue!
