Chapter 248 Devil's Deal

  Miniature model, completely reproduced the scene of the kitchen in scale.

  In reality, where the model is placed, a small gift box is placed inside the model.

  The note in Holz's hand at the moment was taken out of that gift box.

  Dean took a look.

  I saw that the note was rolled into the shape of a parchment, and there was a belt buckle on the outer skin. At the edge, there was a series of mysterious patterns, like words, and some kind of religious ceremony.

   Overall, it looks a bit like a devil's contract in a film and television drama.

  The content on the note is even more confusing.

  Because there is only a simple sentence above: the contract is over, happy cooperation!

   "The contract is over, happy cooperation?"

   Dean muttered.

  What does the murderer want to express?

   Could it be that the murderer had some transactions with the deceased?

  Combined with the style of this torn note, people can't help but associate it with some religious ceremonies.

   Just as Dean was meditating.

  Holtz leaned over and said in a low voice, "Dean, I seem to have heard of such a case from my colleagues before."

   "You mean, this could be a serial murder case?"

  Dean narrowed his eyes slightly.

  In this case, the murderer's unique way of killing makes sense.

   Holz nodded:

   “Before I was in a bad mood, so I didn’t notice the miniatures in the kitchen.

   But when I saw this miniature, it occurred to me that I had heard similar cases before.

  The place where the case happened is in New York.

  At that time, seven people died in a row. It was quite a big disturbance, which attracted the attention of many people. However, the New York police had no clues. Finally, under pressure, they handed over the case to the FBI.

  After the FBI participated in solving the case.

   No follow-up announcement.

   But the model killer, there was no news of being caught in the end.

  Because of the special case.

  At that time, our side also participated in the discussion of the case, so I have some impressions. "

   "Three years ago, New York killed seven people in a row"

  Dean realized something was wrong.

   This guy seems to be a repeat offender, and this time he chose to start his legendary crime in Los Angeles again!

  He suddenly remembered Anbei's reminder to himself: People from the "Lucifer Game Organization" found a high-intelligence criminal in Los Angeles, and sent someone over to prepare to absorb him!

   Don't doubt it!

   This miniature model serial murderer is the opponent's target!

  Dean immediately picked up his cell phone and called Harry.

   Daisy followed to see the last side of the idol.

  Now in the office, Harry is alone.

   Wait a moment.

  On the other end of the phone, Harry's half-asleep voice came: "Boss Dean, do you need my help from Harry!"

   "Sorry to disturb your rest, Detective Harry!" Dean said with a black face.

   This yin and yang tone instantly made Harry sober.

  He laughed dryly: "Boss, you are so funny, is the case going well?"

   "I want you to help me find out the details of the miniature model serial murder case in New York three years ago. If you can, just call the police department over there and tell me that Dean wanted it!"

"No problem!" Harry agreed first, then hesitantly said: "I can get some information through our police system, but if you want detailed information, they may not sell your face over there. ah."

  He said it a bit euphemistically.

  The New York and Los Angeles Police Departments are actually completely two systems, both of which belong to the municipal government's appropriation, and have no obligation to coordinate with each other to handle cases at all.

   To save you, call you Inspector.

   Don't give you face, you pass, you are nothing!

  Actually, let alone Dean, a small police detective, even a captain like Old Hunter would make the other party find it funny if he asked for the detailed information file of a certain case.

  So Harry felt that his boss, Dean, had been in Los Angeles for a long time and was a little swollen.

  Dean rolled his eyes: "Don't talk nonsense, do as I say, as long as you report my citizen number, they will cooperate!"

joke.

  I am also a special detective of the New York Police Detective Department.

   Cross-regional law enforcement may require greetings and coordination.

   But just asking for a case file from three years ago is no small matter.

hang up the phone.

  Dean returned the note to Holtz: "How is the site survey going?"

  Since it is a serial killer.

  The suspicion of the people around the deceased Jonny Dennison suddenly became low.

  Because this kind of serial murderer who can escape the double investigation of the police department and the FBI, the most taboo thing is to eat grass on the side of the nest.

   This is a very simple truth.

  The more exposed you are, the higher the probability of getting caught.

  Since the other party was able to get away with it for three years, it means that the police detectives and FBI in New York were unable to locate the identity information of the murderer in the seven serial murder cases, and even couldn't find the direction.

  This kind of person will not be so stupid as to expose himself to the eyes of outsiders.

  Holtz put away the note: "We passed the reagents and found traces of blood cleaning on the cleaning table, and also found bleaching reagents. Following the traces, we finally found the murder weapon that killed Jonny Dennison."

   "Rolling pin?"

   "Yes, the small rolling pin for making soda crackers was placed in the drawer. The surface of the rolling pin was cleaned with bleach, but it was not completely dry, so we found it out immediately."

Holz said, with a look of wonder on his face: "The murderer really has obsessive-compulsive disorder. We found the corresponding rolling pin in the miniature model, and there were bleach residues on it, and it didn't dry either. To be honest, I'm really very nervous now." Curious about what kind of person the murderer is, Dean, you must catch him!"

   "He can't run away!"

  Dean smiled confidently.

  There is nothing special about this murderer's method of killing, but the whole process of killing does arouse the strong curiosity of those who come into contact with it.

  Because it turns out this could be the iconic serial killer.

  Dean didn't continue wasting time on the victim, Jonny Dennison, and took Carlo and Daisy directly back to the branch.

   When Dean returned to the office.

  Harry was still standing in front of a printer, receiving a large number of documents and archives transmitted from New York.

  Meet Dean.

Harry slipped on one knee on the tiled floor mischievously, stopped firmly in front of Dean, and hugged his thigh: "Boss Dean, I just discovered today that you are the lighthouse in the mist, guiding I, a lost lamb, is a prophet who walks on the most correct path of life!"

   Daisy smiled and said, "Wow, Harry, you can't take it anymore, are you going to propose to Dean?"

  Harry was full of piety: "Daisy, you don't understand the greatness of Boss Dean. Every time you think you can see his strength, Boss Dean will let you know what omnipotence is!"

   Carlo couldn't help covering his mouth.

   It's really nasty.

   This thing is actually my senior partner!

   Shame!

  Dean kicked Harry away in disgust: "Have you sent the message from New York?"

   "The seven case reports are about to be printed out. In addition, a temporary account has been given over there. You can log in to the photo database of the NYPD to view detailed photos of the seven cases."

  Harry got up from the ground, looking expectant: "Boss Dean, has the miniature model killer who shocked New York come to Los Angeles?"

  Dean shook his head: "I'm still not sure if it's a copycat crime, so I want the information of the New York case for comparison. Okay, since everyone is here, I'll start to arrange tasks!"

  The team is short-handed.

  Dean can only make arrangements based on the abilities and specialties of the three of them.

   "Harry, I want you to investigate where the plumber and gardener at Jonny Dennison's house were this morning!

   Another victim, Jonny Dennison’s home, had invited the termite company to deal with it half a year ago, and there was a conflict in the middle. I want you to figure it out!

   Let Carlo tell you the details of the case! "

  Harry patted his chest: "No problem, boss!"

After Dean finished speaking, he looked at Daisy: "Daisy, I want you to find the master on the Los Angeles miniature model, invite him to the police station, and monitor the social network of Jonny Dennison's family and ex-wife. Pay attention to people who like to show superior life photos on the Internet!"

   "Need to use some illegal means?"

  Daisy winked at Dean.

"As long as there is something to gain!", after Dean finished speaking, he looked at Carlo: "Carlo, you are in the office during this time, cooperating with Daisy and Harry, and at the same time paying attention to the murders in Holz and other areas of Los Angeles Case, I have a hunch, this case is just the beginning!"

   Carlo nodded, but did not speak.

  This guy, most of the time, has a dull personality, but he does things steadily and is much more reliable than Harry.

   Finish these orders.

  Dean returned to the office with the documents Harry wanted to come.

  Paper materials, mainly about the investigation reports and findings of the seven murder cases.

   Based on report information.

   Miniatures of the Murderer, first appeared in Christmas 1998.

  A well-known magician walked into a large container during a Christmas performance in public, but never came out again.

   Waiting for the magician's assistant to feel that something was wrong, he called people to open the container, and was shocked to find that the magician had been stabbed four times, fell to the ground, and had already lost his life.

   And beside the magician, there is a container model, which perfectly reproduces everything on the scene!

besides.

  The police were still inside the model and found a note similar to a devil's contract, with a simple sentence written on it: The contract is over, happy cooperation!

  This... is also a miniature model murderer, the first time it has appeared in the eyes of the world.

  Because there were a lot of spectators at that time, and it was Christmas, this case attracted a lot of media attention in New York as soon as it appeared.

result.

   Three days later.

  The second same case appeared!

   This time, the deceased was a well-known female DJ.

  The other party took a break, entered the waiting room, and never came out again..

   Another three days later.

  The third deceased appears.

   Thereafter, every three days.

   There will always be a dead person!

  Beside their bodies, there are miniature models of the same replica environment, and inside the models, there is also a small note of the same style and content

  If this is the case.

   It can also be said that the murderer woke up and prepared for a long time, and deliberately let the deceased die in the environment he prepared.

  But seven cases in a row, it was the same.

   It's incredible!

  Because the dead are found very quickly, and the production of miniature models needs enough time. To make it exactly the same as the death scene, the murderer must prepare in advance!

   And the dead are all independent individuals!

  Even if it is a murderer, it is impossible to manipulate the deceased, wear the same clothes according to his own wishes, arrive in the environment of the miniature model made, and die in the way of death prepared in advance.

   This is not scientific at all!

   But other than that reason.

  Other speculations can't be explained at all in terms of time!

  These dead have one more thing in common!

  Each deceased had a different occupation, whether they were singers, magicians, or DJs, but they all had some fame in their own industries and circles.

   Cooperate with each miniature model, and the words on the note: The contract is over, happy cooperation!

In the report, the police detective in charge of the case even laughed at himself: "I almost thought that the murderer was a real devil. It made a deal with every dead person, allowing them to gain fame and money in their own industry. When the contract time came, , the demons regard the miniature model as an established script, and those dead, under the control of mysterious power, start their own curtain call performance according to the script!"

   Dean paused for a long time when he saw this.

  Because judging from the case report alone, he also felt incredible.

   This is simply a criminal art!

   Pata~

  Dean silently lit a cigarette.

  Long time.

   Surrounded by smoke, he crushed out the cigarette butt!

  The miniature model killer successfully aroused his interest!

  The more powerful the murderer, the more valuable it is!

  Since the other party dares to commit crimes in his own jurisdiction and slap him in the face, he should just use the other party as a stepping stone to help him gain the last bit of experience points and be promoted to the peak of the current human body!

   Adjust your mentality.

  Dean used the temporary account permissions given to him in New York to log in to the website there, searched for the case numbers, and found photos of the death scenes in seven cases.

  The scenes of these seven cases were simple and clean.

  The simplicity lies in the fact that there are many clues left in every death scene.

   Cleanliness is these clues. After the investigation, it is impossible to find the slightest information about the murderer, and it is impossible to even lock the direction.

   Even Dean, with the support of this information, can only determine the killing logic of the miniature model killer:

   Before the unknown time, choose the target first!

   After selecting all the targets, start making the 'Death Script' - the miniature model!

   Then through unknown means.

   Make the final harvest.

   This is a very, very classic three-act movie interpretation method!

  Elicits the story-suppression, anticipation-explodes anticipation, climax!

  The murderer interprets every crime as a commercial movie!

  A vague image, through the seven cases, took shape in Dean's mind for the first time.

   But this is not good news.

  Because if Dean's deduction is not wrong.

  Then the death of Jonny Dennison means that the murderer has completed the preliminary preparations and is ready to start the final climax!

   Three days of high-frequency murder cases!

   The time left for Dean is running out!
