Michael said, "According to your analysis, the deceased was a very wise man in the mind of the murderer.

The suspects in these three serial murders are likely to be followers of the Eternal Cult.

Then, the person who can be regarded as having great wisdom may be the head of the church, Beram Solo."

Luke frowned and said, "In the past, I also investigated a headless case. The murderer chopped off the victim's head so that the police could not identify the deceased.

Could this be one of the murderer’s goals?”

Louise pointed to the photo on the wall, "But this is Bellam Solo's house. There is a great possibility that he is the deceased. It is not difficult to guess."

Luke continued, "What if the murderer just wanted to mislead us and make us think that Bellam Solo was dead."

Amir touched his chin and said, "Your hypothesis is very interesting."

Louise asked, "Why did Bellam Solo do this?"

Luke said, "Bellam Solo made up lies to defraud believers of a large amount of money, and this lie will be discovered on Halloween, and he will probably take the money and run away before Halloween.

The FBI will not want a dead person. Once he fakes his death, his escape plan will be successful."

Michael nodded, it was indeed possible, "I will contact the forensic team and the forensics department and ask them to carefully identify the deceased."

Michael went to the side to make a phone call, and the others also investigated separately.

Other detectives searched the entire house and found no trace of any other suspicious persons.

Luke began to search the house carefully, looking for clues about the suspect.

First, Luke started searching from the living room. The body was located in the middle of the living room. The body was lying on the ground, his hands and feet were tied, and the sofa in the house had been moved. However, no obvious signs of a fight were found.

There is a bedroom on the first floor of the house, and there are obvious signs of being turned over in the bedroom. However, there are not many items in this bedroom, and Luke did not find any valuable clues.

Then, Luke went up the stairs to the second floor. There were three rooms on the second floor, including two bedrooms and a study.

Both bedrooms had signs of being rummaged through, and it was obvious that the murderer was not just for murder, but also had other purposes, either seeking money or looking for a certain item.

Luke entered the study again to search. There were not many items or furniture in the study, only desks, chairs, bookcases and two potted plants. The potted plants were green and growing well.

The bookcase is about two meters high and about 1.4 meters wide. The door is open, and there is only a large safe inside.

The door of the safe was also open, and there were no signs of prying on the sides.

The style of the safe is very new. It has three unlocking methods: key, fingerprint, and password. The safe has four floors in total. There are some information on the left side of the first floor, and the other three floors are empty.

Even if ordinary people buy safes, they are only small safes. It is impossible for Bellam Solo to buy such a large safe just to store information. It should also store other valuables, and those items may have been stolen by the murderer.

It was taken.

Luke picked up the information in the safe and looked at it. There was a bloodstain symbol on the top of the information, which was the list of the gangsters.

This list of believers has very detailed information, including photos, jobs, home addresses and mobile phone numbers.

Previously, Tanguy Bruns was taken away for questioning by the FBI because he hid a body in his home. He was a believer in the Eternal Cult, and he also knew some other believers, but he didn't know much about their identities.

Judging from the known clues, the murderer is likely to be a believer in the Eternal Cult. With this list, the FBI can conduct an investigation.

After completing the search, Luke went downstairs with the list of believers and saw that people from the forensic team and the forensics department had arrived at the scene.

Luke wasn't familiar with them and didn't exchange much greetings with them.

He walked out of the house and saw Michael leading people to search the black Lexus. The doors and trunk of the car were opened.

Luke walked over and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Michael pointed to the trunk and said, "We found blood stain reaction.

Moreover, there are signs of twisting on the car's license plate nut. Someone may have taken off the license plate recently, which matches the characteristics of the suspect vehicle."

After speaking, Michael called people from the forensics department and asked them to collect blood samples from the car and conduct DNA comparisons with the two previous victims.

Six o'clock in the morning.

It's already dawn.

Occasionally, morning joggers pass by in the community. When they see the FBI car and the cordon, they will inevitably stop and watch.

At this time, Louise would take the initiative to talk to them and ask them if they heard any unusual noises or saw anyone suspicious last night.

At the same time, the forensic doctor also completed the preliminary identification and called Luke and others into the living room of the house.

The forensic doctor responsible for the autopsy this time was a white man, of medium build, who looked to be about forty years old, with some gray hair and wearing black-rimmed glasses.

He pointed to the body and said, "The victim was a male, and he was killed between twelve and three o'clock in the morning.

The cause of death was death from excessive bleeding due to severed neck artery.

In addition to the fatal injuries, two other wounds were found on his body."

The forensic doctor turned the body over, pointed at the victim's right hand and said, "The index finger of the victim's right hand was cut off. It was cut after death. No severed finger was found at the scene. The murderer probably took it away."

He pointed to the deceased's back and said, "The victim had an electric shock injury at this location, and the time of injury was similar to the time of death."

Michael concluded, "In other words, the victim was electrocuted from behind, fainted and killed, and his fingers were cut off."

The forensic doctor nodded, "This is very likely."

"Where's the murder weapon?"

"Judging from the cut marks, it should be a saw-toothed tool."

Amir said, “No traces of electric shock were found on the two deceased persons, which shows that the murderer is constantly learning and evolving.

But why did the murderer cut off one of the victim's fingers?"

Luke replied, "I found a safe in the study on the second floor. The safe can be unlocked with a fingerprint.

The door of the safe was open, and only some documents were found.

I suspect there are other valuables in the safe and they should have been taken away by the murderer."

Amir thought for a while, "How big is the safe?"

"One meter high and about eighty centimeters wide."

Amir looked at the body of Bellam Solo and said thoughtfully, "According to what Tanguy Bruns said before, Bellam Solo exchanged all the money he defrauded believers into gold bars.

This safe was probably used to hide gold bars.

Now it seems that the murderer not only wanted to kill people, but also wanted to take away the gold bars."

Michael frowned slightly, "The murderer has committed three crimes. In the first two cases, he killed rich people, but the murderer did not touch their property.

Why did you take away the gold bars this time?"

Amir replied, "In our view, gold bars represent wealth, but in the eyes of those believers, gold bars are used to reshape the golden body.

The murderer is most likely also a believer.

His purpose of taking away the gold bars was probably to reshape Him into a golden body and welcome His coming on Halloween.”

Michael nodded, "That makes sense.

It is not easy to melt a large amount of gold. The murderer will probably find a professional gold shop to make it.

I think this can also be a direction of investigation."

Amir touched his chin, "Speaking of the direction of investigation, I have another idea.

If my guess is correct, the murderer will kill another person, and the person's body should be chopped off, which represents strength.

Now that we already know the characteristics of the murderer's next target, can we find the victim in advance and protect him, and at the same time make arrangements in advance to wait for the murderer to be caught?"

Louise shrugged, "This is a good idea, but we have to know who is the strong representative in the murderer's mind."

Michael blurted out, "Tom Brady is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 102 kilograms. He is a tough guy among tough guys.

As far as I know, he has been in New York recently."

"Eon, if Tom Brady was about the same twenty years ago, he is already old now." Amir rolled his eyes and said a name, "Mirovan Ibe.

Born in 1995, he is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 160 kilograms. He is the New York district champion in the Strongman competition.

His whole body is covered with fat and muscle, I think he can kill a lion."

Louise looked at Luke, "What do you think?"

Luke pointed to himself.

Louise “…”

Michael smiled, "Are you serious?"

Amir muttered, "Narcissistic guy."

"Is there any problem? I'm already very strong." Luke waved his right arm and showed off his biceps. "Everyone's definition of strong is different. There is no unified standard and it cannot be defined.

Moreover, the murderer probably does not know the Hercules you are talking about.

And you may not know the target he chooses.

Therefore, this direction of investigation is only theoretically valid and there are too many uncertain factors.”

Amir asked, "What can you do?"
