When I heard that there was a death case in a neighboring province, the whole house was suddenly silent, as if a pot of boiling water was poured from the top, so hot that people couldn't even scream. The people in the room were stunned, including He Lan, who had just been having a good time. However, Li Shan and the others were unbelievable. He Lan's face was relaxed at first, and then it became uncontrollable panic, and he was breathing heavily.
It seems that the footprints of the murderer are elusive, which teases people's nerves too much.
Chu Yu felt stiff all over, and the moment she heard the news, it seemed like a bomb exploded in her abdominal cavity, and the air wave went straight to the sky, which would blow her mind to pieces.
Although there have been frequent cases these days, she still has a strong "combat power", chasing the target all the way, to analyze, speculate, deploy, and enjoy it, but at the moment there is a murder case, you can put her speculation and The plans were overturned and killed to the point of death.
The phone call was like a slap in the face, making her a burning pain.
The atmosphere of the scene froze for four or five seconds. Chu Yu was silent, standing under the fluorescent lamp, trying to regain the consciousness of escaping and running away.
Li Shan opened her mouth cautiously, "Chu Chu, are we still... continue to stand guard?"
The meaning of this is obvious. According to Chu Yu's speculation, the target will be lurking around, waiting for an opportunity to attack the He and his wife, and then flee to Jinling City in Nansu Province or Changyan City in Qin'an Province. Most of the attacks will not be a single move. Death, if found in time, can be rescued.
This is good. There was a murder in Wuhuai City, southern Anhui Province. The location and method of committing the crime were quite different. From this point of view, the behavior of the criminals did not follow the speculation, and there was no need to stay in a hotel.
Chu Yu gritted his teeth and made a decision out of urgency: "Continue to stand guard, protect Mr. He and Ms. He, and do not leave the post without my order."
After she finished speaking, her eyes were sharp and she swept over He Lan, who was still in a panic, and was swept away by her eyes again, took a step back, and grabbed He Zhiping's arm.
"Ms. He, please stay calm and stay here. It doesn't matter if it is closed for a few days, but don't leave the police's sight, otherwise we can't guarantee the safety of you and Mr. He."
After being blown up by the latest news, He Lan's soul was out of her body, and her mind was in a mess. At this moment, after hearing Chu Yu's explanation, she just nodded and cooperated a lot.
Chu Yu's eyes regained her composure, and she swept over everyone present in a leisurely manner—the purpose of her visit was achieved, to stabilize the order, and to appease the emotions of the protected object.
Achieving her goal, she turned around and left, returned to the rental house, and started packing as soon as she entered.
"Muyu, book a ticket for me to Wuhu. If you want the nearest one, someone will pick you up there."
Chu Yu's first reaction was to fly over, but when he thought that there was no direct flight, he had to make a transfer. It would be better to take the high-speed train, which would take him more than an hour.
The murder case in southern Anhui Province has already spread on the Internet, and the speed of the media's curiosity always makes the investigators who are handling the case tremble. Muyu just received the news push, stunned, and was calling Chu Yu when she saw her back.
"Okay, I'll notify Dato and Xiaobang right away..."
"Well, inform them," Chu Yu put the earphones and walkie-talkie into his bag, "let them continue to move around, don't stop the action."
Muyu was stunned, "However, the target may have left here, and the action is out of our prediction."
Chu Yu wanted to answer, but suddenly coughed violently. The things she had just packed were scattered on the floor, she couldn't help bending down, and her back arched from the cough.
Muyu hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
Chu Yu coughed and trembled all over, and even the cup was unsteady. Muyu took her hand and steadied the cup. It took a lot of effort to drink the saliva.
After swallowing, Chu Yu put his hand on his neck and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, which was a little difficult.
Muyu followed her hand and touched her arm, "Chu, you have a fever."
In fact, Chu Yu felt dizzy and chills yesterday, but because of the bait of Xia Yihan, she has been in a state of excitement, like a cat chasing a mouse, longing for the reward of "meeting", and like solving a puzzle, longing for the truth that is approaching , so the symptoms of physical overdraft are ignored in the past.
Just after a phone call, tremendous pressure and unpredictability descended from the sky. Under the dual pressure of physiological body tension and acute sympathetic nerves, the symptoms of a cold were infinitely magnified.
"It's alright, little cold," Chu Yu grabbed the ground and picked it up again, "Muyu, keep in touch with Datuo and Ashan, I may be slow to reply later, if there is an emergency, you can ask City Council support."
Muyu looked stunned: "You burned like this, and went to southern Anhui alone?"
Chu Yu laughed heartlessly, "Don't forget that I'm the director of the 'Superman Division', don't be long-winded, hurry up and call me a car to the train station, I'm in a hurry!"
Muyu stuffed the computer into his bag, threw it on his shoulder, and muttered while calling the car, "Okay, Sister Superman, the ticket is booked."
Chu Yu packed up the things three times and five times, and left the toiletries alone. Whether he could sleep well or not was still a problem.
Three minutes later, the two stood on the side of the road waiting for the bus, relatively speechless, and they both knew that no one could beat the other, so they gave each other a step and rushed to the crime scene together.
On the high-speed train, the space was sealed, the air conditioner was turned on, and it was as warm as a bathhouse. Chu Yu was already on fire. He was steamed like this, and his cheeks were flushed, like rouge, and with a face of hatred and hatred on his face, he was alive The bride who is forced to marry is reluctant to rush to the wedding banquet.
Muyu sat next to her and glanced at her, "I don't dare to touch you now, for fear that you will spontaneously ignite."
Chu Yu wanted to fight back, but when she opened her mouth, she found that the almonds were already swollen and her pronunciation was difficult. Since she was a small almond, her almonds were too large. When she had a cold and fever, it would be swollen.
"Okay, you can talk, young and old. I'll go to the flight attendant to get the antipyretic medicine. Drink more hot water."
Dizzy from the burn, Chu Yu still couldn't sleep, her eyes were closed, and all that was dangling were the shining knife in Xia Yihan's hand.
As soon as Wuhuai's homicide post came out, news from major websites in southern Anhui came out, and netizens were boiling again, but this time they were obviously more reserved.
"It's really life-threatening. It seems that the Phantom of the Sophora Blossom not only needs to be carved, but also asks for life."
"Who used to want to be dedicated, go—tattoos? The fucking kind!"
"I used to see Sister Huaihua come and go without a trace, I was very happy, and I cheered for her secretly, don't get caught, I heard that the victim died this time, so I should go to the police uncle's camp. ."
"Speak softly, the uncle of the police is not good this time, this is the third time, and I haven't even touched the murderer's hair. I'm scared to walk on the street now!!!"
"… "
Chu Yu bit the bullet and pulled the comments to the end. Although he has been controlling the popularity of the comments, the general trend can be seen - that the Phantom of Sophora japonica has officially started her performance, and the first two are warm-up exercises.
Regarding the murder case, Chu Yu only knows a rough outline. The online reports seem to be full, but in fact, they are just grabbing the eye-catching points and turning it over and over. There is not much key information, and it is estimated that the media did not know about it, and was stopped outside the cordon.
Looking at the trend on the Internet, Chu Yu felt uncomfortable. In fact, she could stay in Luoyu City and wait for the Wuhuai police to notify her when the autopsy was completed and the results of the investigation came out, but she couldn't help it, she was the one who knew Xia Yihan's modus operandi best. She is also the person who can best assist the police in solving the case. Not to mention that she has a fever now, even if she breaks a leg, she has to rush over without stopping.
She wanted to confirm with her own eyes whether that person was killed by Xia Yihan!
After being taken to Wuhuai City by the police, Chu Yu did not go to the crime scene, but went straight to the funeral home. She found the investigator and learned that the deceased was a third-year student of Wuzhou Engineering University, male, 20 years old, named Huang Kaiyang, the cause of death. Have to wait for the autopsy results.
Chu Yu had an idea in her mind and ruled out a possibility—she had guessed before that the family members of the deceased five or six years ago were kidnapped by Xia Yihan to Wuhuai to confuse the police. However, it now appears that the victim of this case has no connection with the previous case.
In the autopsy room, the forensic doctor immediately prepared for an autopsy.
Chu Yu put on an autopsy suit, gloves and a mask, and watched with the police who were in charge of taking pictures and videos.
She was already hot, but at this moment, she was still wrapping her body tightly, like a sauna. The sweat was dripping down in large drops, and the breath that she exhaled couldn't escape. It sprayed around her lips and burned hot. The high fever made her weak, and this envoy could push her to the ground if anyone pushed her.
However, her attention was on the scalpel in the hands of the city bureau forensic doctor Qian, and she wished she could play in person and find out the cause of death earlier.
The deceased's clothes were taken off by the intern forensic doctor, and it could be seen that his chest and abdomen had deep wounds, and fat and muscles were faintly visible from his chest. The left chest is engraved with a flower-like pattern. Chu Yu took a step forward, got a little closer, and stared at the pattern.
The moment her eyes made contact with the pattern, she felt a tightness in her heart. This locust flower was really well carved, with smooth and vivid lines. At first glance, there was no obvious difference from the previous two patterns.
Her feet were weak, she stepped back so that the police could take pictures.
Forensic Qian held a ruler, measured the wound, and chatted with Chu Yu, "Is there a famous sophora phantom recently?"
Chu Yu stared at the pattern, "Yes, she even injured two people, and the victims were engraved with locust flowers, hence the name."
"The injured person is still alive?"
"She can stab. In the first case, she stabbed the victim's right chest with a scalpel, but was blocked by the ribs and did not hurt the internal organs. In the second case, she stabbed the abdomen, but did not hurt the organs and blood vessels. , both victims were found in time and rescued."
Forensic Qian picked up the scalpel, moved quickly, and slashed from under the neck to the top of the pubic symphysis. The subcutaneous tissue was immediately exposed, and he began to separate the muscles of the chest against the ribs. The peritoneum was also opened, and the bloated intestines gushed. come out.
Chu Yu carefully observed the interior, his voice hoarse, "The knife on the chest pierced the aortic arch."
"It seems that the Phantom of Sophora japonica, who used to be kind-hearted and soft-hearted, is now ruthless?"
Chu Yu was noncommittal, holding his breath, his eyes fell on the neck of the deceased, "There are signs of damage to the neck skin, there is a possibility of mechanical suffocation."
Next, forensic doctor Qian began to dissect the neck and head, and soon came to the conclusion, "The hyoid bone was broken, the neck skin was injured and bleeding, and the neck of the deceased was violently squeezed by the outside world."
Dao light flashed in Chu Yu's eyes, "And the damage to the head is very scattered, which is in line with the characteristics formed in the fight, and the direction of the blood flow is from front to back, indicating that the damage to the chest and abdomen was caused by the dead body. Formed when resistance is lost."
Forensic Qian put down the electric craniotomy saw and breathed an old breath, "But in this way, the cause of death has to be further determined, whether it was the knife piercing the thoracic artery that caused excessive blood loss, or suffocation, because the time difference between them is very short. ."
Chu Yu suddenly noticed that there was a pale area in the chest and abdomen of the deceased, which would not be noticeable if you didn't look carefully.
She took a closer look and reminded Qian forensic doctor, "Look here."
"In cross-section, this piece of skin was pale, there was no blood in the subcutaneous capillaries, and even the subcutaneous muscles showed ischemic color."
Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, the detective next to him couldn't help but ask, "What does the pale skin mean?"
Chu Yu's voice came from the mask, and the urn sounded: "When a person is alive, blood fills the capillaries and flows continuously. If a part of the soft tissue of the body is compressed by a heavy object, the blood in the capillaries of the skin and subcutaneous tissue will be squeezed. If the pressure is pressed to the side, the compressed soft tissue will be ischemia. If the person dies under the pressure, the blood will no longer flow, then even if the pressure is released, the blood will not flow back to the capillaries of this part of the tissue. in blood vessels."
"Then what does that mean?"
Forensic Qian's fingertips drew a line in the pale area, "It means that during the process of death of the deceased, there was always a heavy object pressing on the chest. Judging from the shape, it looks a bit like a knee."
As he said that, he lifted the deceased's pectoralis major again, with doubts in his eyes: "This murder process is very fascinating."
"It's really fascinating, because the main purpose of the murderer is not to kill," Chu Yu's eyes were bright, and he finally became confident, "but to perform."
Everyone present was shocked, "Performing murder?"
…
The task force meeting was held in the conference room of Wuhuai Municipal Bureau. Chu Yu brought Muyu and Muyu with a computer.
Looking around at the detective with dark circles on the opposite side, Chu Yu sighed in his heart. If this goes on, either she will become a member of the Public Security Bureau, or the Public Security Bureau will have to become her member. In the past, the Research and Investigation Department of Super-Normal People handled cases. , Although there is an intersection with the police, the division of labor is still very clear, and basically it is different. After all, the former focuses on research, while the latter focuses on investigation.
As soon as Xia Yihan appeared, well, he perfectly combined psychological research with investigation and pursuit, and took great pains to gather the two groups to jointly handle the case.
She is a rare talent.
The meeting was presided over by the director Feng Sheng. The impact of this case is too bad. The above urges to solve the case as soon as possible. Don't let the whole country panic all day long. Sophora japonica is about to become a spokesperson for death!
The investigator in charge of the scene showed the pictures of the scene and began to report, "The crime scene is located behind a pine tree, backed by the teaching building of the Law School. There are traces of being crushed on the branches and leaves on the ground, which should have been left during the fight. No fingerprints of the murderer were found at the scene, but a fresh blood was found on a pine tree at the crime scene. After identification, it was not the source. For the deceased, it is likely from the murderer."
Bureau Feng nodded and looked at the investigator, "What about you guys, have you found anything?"
A small investigator consolidated the information and reported, "We asked the deceased's teachers and classmates. Today is Tuesday. The deceased had two classes in the morning. I left the library at 4:50 in the afternoon. I was playing with my mobile phone when I went out. Then I walked around the back of the cafeteria. After walking to the bamboo forest, I entered the unmonitored area. From the bamboo forest, I could lead to the crime scene. After 5 pm , whether it is his classmates, roommates, or surveillance, he has not found his whereabouts."
The captain of the criminal investigation detachment interjected: "Since he has been looking at his mobile phone, and he has not eaten at dinner time, and walked to such a remote place, it may be that someone made an appointment with him. Have you checked the chat records on the mobile phone?"
"I checked, but it shows that he has been in group chat, it is a college student dating group, but his roommate sent him a message alone, asking him to help with the courier, but his roommate waited and waited and saw no one, called him, and no one was there. catch."
Later, a girl from the school reported the case. She was stroking the cat at the entrance of the cafeteria, but the cat burrowed into the forest. She followed it all the way, and then saw that it was too dark in the pine forest and did not dare to follow up. She took a flashlight and took a picture from a distance. , she found a person lying on the ground, and she refused to answer no matter how much she shouted. There was a smell of blood in the air. She was so frightened that she ran back and rushed back to the police after returning to the soul.
The investigator couldn't help but sighed that thanks to the cat, the remoteness of the crime scene might not have been discovered in a few days.
"In other words, through on-site investigation and investigation, the scope of the investigation cannot be narrowed." Feng Ju's face was not very good-looking, and it was stiff as a pig's liver, and his eyes swept over to the technical investigation. Any important discoveries?"
Forensic doctor Qian knew that Chu Yu was familiar with the modus operandi of "Phantom of Sophora japonica", and the case was inseparable from it, so he looked at Chu Yu and asked her to report.
Chu Yu just listened quietly by the side, and carefully integrated the findings of the trace inspector, surveyor, and investigator in her heart, and with her insight into the murderer's criminal psychology, she roughly outlined a clear crime process.
Being invited, Chu Yu stood up on the table. She was already top-heavy with fever and her throat was sore and hoarse. It was late at night, which should be a good time for patients with severe colds to "recuperate". The brain has never rested, and the energy reserves have been extremely exhausted.
"I believe everyone has heard the rumors about the phantom of the locust flower. She is also the murderer of the two assaults and wounding cases in Wangjiang City. A parody homicide in tribute to her."
