Volume 1: Criminal Police Captain Chapter 5: Serial Killer
A modern-day Sherlock Holmes?
Xia Lan grinned and shook her head. Jiang Xiaoyu not only dressed up, but also had the mind of a girl. She was Sun Yu's crush.
"Team Xia!" Police officer Wang Yanbin hurriedly walked into the office.
"We have found Guo Junping's chat partner. His name is Yang Ya, and his address is Unit 1703, Building 4, Jingshun Community, Longyang District."
Xia Lan looked at Wang Yanbin and asked doubtfully: "Did you bring someone here?"
Wang Yanbin shook his head, "We just received a report and Yang Ya's body was found in the garbage dump outside Jingshun Community."
Mengshan City is backed by a mountain, and the name of the mountain is naturally Mengshan. The urban area consists of the old city, Longyang District, high-tech zone, and development zone.
Longyang District is adjacent to the old city and occupies three-quarters of Mengshan City. It is the most densely populated place.
In the garbage dump outside the Inveshun community, a woman wearing pink pajamas was lying quietly on it, with her hands behind her back, her legs together, and a transparent plastic bag on her head.
"The deceased was found in a garbage dump, and the person who found the body was a garbage disposal worker," Zhang Yao told Xia Lan.
Yu Jing took off her white gloves and said, "The cause of death was mechanical asphyxia. The deceased's hands and feet were fixed with zip ties. The time of death should have been the night before yesterday. The specific time will have to wait for the autopsy."
"Is this a serial killer?" a colleague over there who was searching for evidence whispered.
Yu Jing and Zhang Yao looked at Xia Lan at the same time.
It has to be said that this new captain was very unlucky. He encountered a serial killer as soon as he arrived.
Zhang Yao asked in a low voice: "Team Xia, do you want to merge the case?"
Xia Lan pursed her cherry lips and nodded.
She stared at the corpse and said slowly: "The murderer and Yang Ya also know each other. Focus on investigating the intersection between Guo Junping and Yang Ya. Be quick, I feel the murderer will commit another crime soon."
As night fell, the criminal police team's floor was brightly lit, and everyone gathered in front of the whiteboard, listening to Yu Jing's detailed autopsy results.
"The time of Yang Ya's death was between 8 and 9 pm the night before yesterday. There were signs of being hit hard with a blunt object on the back of her head. We also found ornaments with blood stains in Yang Ya's home."
"Fragments of Yang Ya's fingernails were found on the bed at her home. According to the test, it is confirmed that her home is the scene of the first crime. The ties used to bind Yang Ya are common ties on the market and have no value."
After saying this, Yu Jing glanced at Zhang Yao.
Zhang Yao continued: "Yang Ya, female, 22 years old, graduated from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of Sanjiang Province. She lives alone and is the landlord. Her father is the dean of the School of Computer Science at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and her mother is unemployed and a housewife."
University of Electronic Science and Technology of China again?
Xia Lan looked at Jiang Xiaoyu, whose expression was a little solemn.
"The monitoring of Invesco Community has been faulty since the night before yesterday. Today, the maintenance staff and I found the fault. Someone made some tampering with the monitoring network access optical cable. It is difficult for ordinary people to find this kind of fault."
"Ordinary people?" Xia Lan felt that Jiang Xiaoyu's words had a certain direction.
Jiang Xiaoyu nodded, "The other party's technique is very precise. It is impossible to locate the fault point without precision instruments. It is absolutely impossible for someone who is not a senior network engineer to create such a fault."
Yu Jing nodded and looked at the information on the whiteboard thoughtfully.
There were no traces of a struggle in Yang Ya's home, proving that the murderer knew Yang Ya. Not only that, the murderer also knew Guo Junping, and he also knew that Yang Ya and Guo Junping knew each other.
Xia Lan asked: "How is the social interaction between the two people going?"
Zhang Yao shook his head, "I visited the parents of the two deceased people and contacted their classmates at school, but I didn't know that they knew each other."
"what about work?"
"Work?" Zhang Yao blinked, "Both of them have just graduated from college, and neither of them has a job yet!"
Xia Lan frowned and looked at Zhang Yao: "Is this what you inferred based on the words of their parents or did they say it themselves?"
Zhang Yao avoided Xia Lan's gaze and looked at the ground: "They didn't say anything."
"Then call immediately and ask."
"Team Xia!" Jiang Xiaoyu called, "If you have any ideas, can you tell us? Don't treat us like robots and just give us orders? If it's Sun Yu..."
Xia Lan stood up, stared at Jiang Xiaoyu and shouted: "If it were Sun Yu, would you still ask him why?"
"Jiang Xiaoyu, I hope you understand that I am your leader, and it is the duty of subordinates to obey the orders of superiors!"
Xia Lan has been on fire ever since Jiang Xiaoyu threatened her in the morning. If it weren't for the fact that most of these people were Xia Yuanfei's old subordinates, she would have gone mad a long time ago.
In the military, it is her nature to obey orders!
No one expected that Xia Lan, who had been named the most beautiful policewoman in the Public Security Bureau, suddenly went berserk.
But the person I chose was the most lovable girl Jiang Xiaoyu.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu lowering his head in grievance, everyone in the room looked at Xia Lan with a little anger.
A hand was put on Xia Lan's shoulder. Xia Lan looked back and saw that Yu Jing was looking at her with a gentle smile. Xia Lan followed Yu Jing's strength and sat down.
"In the past, when Xia Yuanfei was here, no matter what he did, he would tell everyone why. Everyone was just used to it. So, can you tell everyone what you think, Xiaolan?"
Xia Lan was in a daze for a moment.
At Yu Jing's age, calling her Xiaolan was nothing, but this was also what her family called her, especially since Yu Jing deliberately grabbed Xia Lan's shoulders.
Xia Lan smiled, no longer as cool as during the day.
Standing up, Xia Lan walked to the whiteboard.
"In both cases, judging from the methods of committing the crime, the murderer is probably the same person. I remember someone asked at the crime scene today whether this was a serial killer."
Xia Lan's eyes stopped on a female colleague, her name was Xu Hui.
At this moment, Xia Lan had a smile on her face, without any of the overwhelming aura she had just now. Xu Hui smiled and nodded.
"My judgment is that he is a serial killer, but he is not."
"The targets of serial killers have certain regularity, and the killing cycle is relatively stable. However, the murderer in this case had an obvious purpose. After killing Yang Ya, he took away her mobile phone and tricked Guo Junping into killing her. You don't
Do you think this is more like revenge?"
Zhang Yao couldn't help but ask: "But the two of them have a lot in common! They both graduated from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and their family conditions are very favorable."
Xia Lan nodded continuously, "What Zhang Yao said is correct, but what makes me sure of my thoughts are these common points, and..."
As she spoke, Xia Lan picked up a marker and drew a few circles on the photo on the whiteboard.
"Trash can? Garbage dump?" Zhang Yao muttered.
"Yes! The murderer blocked the monitoring of Jingshun Community and showed up at Yang Ya's home without leaving any trace. Why did he take the risk and throw her into the garbage after killing her? And why did he guide Guo Junping to a place at any time?
What about the park where there might be people?”
"Because the murderer thinks these two people are trash, and their fate can only be the same as other trash."
Xia Lan took a deep breath, "There is definitely a reason for the murderer's behavior of defining the deceased as garbage. It is to vent his disdain, belittlement and even jealousy of the deceased!"
"Both of them have just graduated from college, and their family conditions are very good. The only intersection I can think of is their work. With their family connections, the two of them can definitely defeat all their competitors, right?"
Everyone felt numb, as if Xia Lan had caught the murderer in front of them.
"The murderer, male, is between 20 and 30 years old. He has extensive experience in network engineering, has an average family background, is good at sociability, and lives alone. He recently participated in the same interview as the deceased and was eliminated."
Xia Lan looked at Jiang Xiaoyu who was silent again, "Now, can I ask the deceased's family?"
Chapter completed!
