Chapter 72 Geographic Portraits

Zhao Lin frowned. The murderer committed five crimes in the same area. Is he confident or crazy?

"Is there anything different from before?"

Wu Zuo shook his head and said: "We can't tell it yet. We have to take the body back and examine it carefully."

But then he added: "If there is anything different from the previous times, it is that there are more injuries on the corpse."

"You see...the murderer crushed the blade of the deceased's left shoulder, broke three ribs, and had other wounds before killing her."

What a pervert... Zhao Lin took a deep breath, raised his head and glanced at the crowd present.

They say murderers like to return to crime scenes. Could he be among the crowd?

Zhao Lin lowered his eyes, let go of all his hearing, and carefully screened out the breathing, talking and walking sounds of everyone present.

After a long time, he shook his head gently.

If you had a sense of smell like a mink, you might be able to track the murderer based on the scent he left on the body of the deceased.

It's a pity that it's too late to absorb the soul now.

Besides, the cost of doing this is too high. In order to handle a case, it consumes a precious grid of the spirit animal map. It is really not worth the gain.

After surveying the scene, Zhao Lin asked Liang Song and He Qingquan: "What do you think we should do next?"

Both of them shook their heads.

He Qingquan said: "The murderer is a warrior, his mental ability is much stronger than ordinary people, and he is also a habitual criminal..."

He sighed as he spoke, but he had no idea what he meant.

Zhao Lin thought for a while, then asked the three of them to inquire about the news from nearby residents to see if they could find any clues, and then he followed them back to the Yamen.

"Captain Zhao, the county has invited you."

Zhao Lin went to the execution room to ask for the files and was going to check them carefully. As soon as he returned to the execution room, a sergeant said there.

He had no choice but to put away the files and go to the government office to meet Magistrate Liu.

"Captain Zhao, I heard about the case this morning. This case is of great importance. Please be sure to find the real culprit immediately."

Magistrate Liu did not beat around the bush and said straight to the point.

Zhao Lin quickly responded: "My subordinates understand and will go all out, but..."

Magistrate Liu raised his eyebrows, "Just what?"

Zhao Lin said in a deep voice: "The murderer is so arrogant that he treats our county's defense as if nothing. My subordinates are worried that the murderer will hold back for three months and get out of hand."

"Are you worried that he will continue to commit crimes?"

"Exactly."

Magistrate Liu pondered for a while and said: "We really have to be on guard. But don't worry, I have already informed the guard and asked him to double the manpower to patrol the night so as not to give the criminals any chance to take advantage."

"The county magistrate is considerate and considerate, and his subordinates admire him. However, judging from the injuries of the deceased, the murderer is at least in the bone training stage. He may be an aura master, and he is no match for ordinary patrolmen."

Having said this, Zhao Lin paused for a moment before saying: "My subordinates suggest sending an aura master to take charge."

Magistrate Liu raised his head and glanced at him, "Who do you think is appropriate to send?"

"Captain Sun is a master of aura, witty, courageous, and extremely brave. He can be the best candidate."

Zhao Lin said without changing his expression.

I cannot bear this matter alone. I have to bring Sun Zhang in and stay with him for a few days first.

County Magistrate Liu agreed without thinking: "Okay, I promise you. Sun Zhang will be on patrol at night, and you will take over the position of Dongcheng Captain during the day. I will pass on this matter later. Is there any difficulty?"

"Not yet, my subordinates will go investigate the case."

Zhao Lin left the government office and went back to continue reading the files.

At noon, Wu Zuo came to the police room and said, "Captain Zhao, I found this on the deceased's clothes."

Zhao Lin took a closer look and saw Wu Zuo holding more than three inches of hair in his hand.

One white hair, two gray hairs.

"He's an old pervert!"

Wu Zuo was startled, "What Tai?"

Zhao Lin changed his words: "I mean, the murderer is an old man."

"right!"

Wu Zuo nodded and said, "I estimate that he is between fifty and sixty years old."

"I didn't expect that..."

Zhao Lin murmured to himself and recalled that Huang Xiangqin's father had long hair and his hair would not be so short. It seemed that it must have been left by the murderer.

"Very good, did you find anything else?"

Wu Zuo stepped forward and whispered: "There are traces of invasion on the deceased's vagina, but he is still a virgin."

"Virgin?"

Zhao Lin was greatly surprised, but he soon became relieved: the more perverted the person is, the more incompetent they are.

In the afternoon, Liang Song and the others returned to the county government office, but did not find any useful information.

Zhao Lin felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. If the case could not be solved, his career as a police officer might be over.

Even if it is not for himself, he still wants to catch the murderer. If such a person is left in the world, he will harm many civilians.

…

Zhao Lin stayed in the police room until night. The files were almost torn through, but he still had no clue.

"Go to bed early. Tomorrow we will go to the place where the accident happened."

Liang Song saw that Zhao Lin was so sleepy that he yawned, and advised him from the side.

"That's fine."

Zhao Lin put down the file, washed his face in the yard, and lay on the bed with his clothes on.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly remembered a movie about a corpse case that he had watched in his previous life.

"Yes!"

Zhao Lin sat up in excitement.

Liang Song was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, you go to bed first."

Zhao Lin slowly calmed down and tried to recall the relevant plot in his mind.

The movie tells the story of a serial murderer who keeps committing murders and is finally arrested by the government.

The detective in the movie uses a method called "geographic profiling".

Zhao Lin also specifically searched for relevant terms on the Internet and learned that this was an investigation method specifically targeted at serial murders, rapes, arson, robberies and other cases.

The so-called geographical profiling is to list all the locations where the murderer committed crimes on a map.

Analyze and study the spatial distribution patterns and connections of these locations to find out the area where the murderer is located to narrow the scope of the investigation.

This detection method requires strong professionalism. Zhao Lin is not an expert in this field, but he knows one of the simplest methods:

Find the two farthest crime points and draw a straight line.

Then draw a circle using this connecting line as the diameter.

If the crime locations are all in this circle, then the murderer will most likely settle in this area.

Zhao Lin fell asleep, lit the oil lamp, took out the map, and marked the file on the map.

The county government's map was rough, but the scale was relatively accurate. He found the two farthest crime spots and drew a circle.

Sure enough, the other three case points also fell in the circle.

"This circle is not small!" Zhao Lin whispered to himself.

He visually estimated that the diameter of the circle was more than three miles, encompassing two populated areas and a densely populated market.

It was quite difficult to find the murderer in such a large area. Zhao Lin looked at the map for a long time and felt that he had no idea where to start.

When he was bored, he picked up a charcoal pencil and connected the five points with straight lines.

This is an irregular five-pointed star with different lengths of sides and only a small blank space in the middle.

When Zhao Lin's eyes fell on an address in the blank area, his eyes suddenly froze.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
