A new body was found, and the time of death was before the other two. Three people died in a short period of time, all of them were young women. The state of death was very similar. Same, but all in one gory chunk.
The serial rape and murder cases were raging, people were panicking, and the serious crime team was as big as a fight. Tao Longyue went out early and returned late almost every day, either going out to investigate or having meetings and discussions, so he could take advantage of his birthday to squeeze in a little time, and Yosuman came out to have a meal together.
He also went to the French restaurant that Su Mansheng liked, and it was the seat that the two liked by the bookshelf. Tao Longyue very thoughtfully pulled out the chair for Su Mansheng, remembering that he invited the team members to the bar that day, and asked casually, "I wanted to call you at the bar that day. Come on, why didn't you answer the phone?"
Su Mansheng saw that her appetite was not good, and her face was not very good. She turned two pages and closed the menu. She lowered her head, stared at the lemon slice in the glass, and replied in a low voice, "Reading, I didn't turn it on."
"I originally wanted to pick you up at your house, but your house didn't turn on the lights." This is not surprising. If you don't advance in forensic work, you will retreat. On weekdays, Su Man read a lot, and often went out to study. It's just that after agreeing to the marriage proposal, Su Man's attitude suddenly turned cold. Except for working hours, he couldn't get in touch. It was almost the same as a long-distance relationship that was troubled by distance. Captain Tao deeply felt that he had lost his sense of existence, and he didn't know why he was not comprehensive enough. .
"Maybe I happened to be tired from reading at that time," Su Mansheng looked up at him, and changed his mind quickly and naturally, "Turn off the lights and go to sleep."
Tao Longyue was too embarrassed to continue asking, and directly called the waiter to order. Both of them ordered today's special steak set. Tao Longyue asked for medium rare, while Su Man asked for more freshness.
When the food was served, the French chef who was familiar with Su Mansheng came again enthusiastically, and wanted to hug him as soon as they met. Su Mansheng also smiled kindly and brightly, and got up to greet him.
This French guy named Legoff is obviously very obsessed with Sumansheng. Since Sumansheng confirmed his relationship with Tao Longyue, every time he sees Tao Longyue, his eyebrows are cold, and he puts on a stinky face that others owe him five million. In front of Tao Longyue, Legoff shook his head again and again, his big furry hand supported Su Mansheng's shoulder, and said in half-baked Chinese: "If I knew you didn't like a woman, I would definitely pursue you like the sun..."
Owing to his face and demeanor, Captain Xiao Tao couldn't directly roll his eyes, he could only curse in his heart: What Legoff, I think it's you.
Anyway, Su Man's voice is high and cool, her body and temperament are heroic, and she is very considerate to the women around her. Even Xie Lanshan once mistakenly thought she was curvy.
"I'll do anything for you to smile..." Legov said, but he openly grabbed Captain Tao's corner. He squeezed Su Mansheng's hand tightly, his eyes wide.
Tao Longyue couldn't listen anymore and decided to directly swear sovereignty. He got up and took Su Mansheng's shoulders and said with a smile, "Chef Le, go back to the kitchen and get busy. I have to talk to my girlfriend about the wedding."
"It's all my fault that I didn't fight for it..." Beating his chest and feeling annoyed for a while, Chef Legoff finally returned to the kitchen reluctantly.
Su Man took his seat, his face was rather cold: "Old Tao, you are not in the mood."
The appetizers came first, salad foie gras hot spring egg. Tao Longyue is three years younger than Su Mansheng, and always looks very timid in front of her. Now that the other party sees nothing about Tan Xing, he is more and more afraid to touch her scales, so he can only lower his head to eat.
The two dined silently for a while, and Su Mansheng took the initiative to speak: "Where's Xie Lanshan, has the suspicion been cleared?"
Tao Longyue nodded: "It has been confirmed that the serial murder case was committed by the same murderer. Judging from the time of death of the second discovered deceased, Xie Lanshan could not have committed the crime."
Su Mansheng was not enthusiastic about the marriage, but was very interested in this serial murder case: "Is there an investigation direction for this case now?"
Tao Longyue shook his head: "This case currently seems to be an indiscriminate crime. The three deceased did not know each other and could not find anything in common, so it is particularly difficult to investigate."
When the main dish came, Su Mansheng picked up the pointed steak knife and smiled at Tao Longyue: "Do you want me to give you some advice?"
There was a lot of fun and atmosphere at the dining table, Tao Longyue also put on a fanatic attitude: "I would like to listen to the teachings."
"The skin of the deceased was peeled off with very neat edges and uniform thickness, showing that the murderer was a professional."
"Professionals? Do you mean doctors?" It's not that Tao Long Yue didn't think about it, but there are many doctors in Hanhai City, and it is still difficult to investigate.
"It may also be a chef." Su Man reminded jokingly, placed Tao Longyue's steak in front of him, and cut it into small pieces with a knife for him very considerately, "The second autopsy found that the three deceased's private parts were bleeding profusely, and their lower bodies were bleeding heavily. The extract did not find any DNA samples, and combined with the damage, it is likely that these scars were caused by friction with a hard object like a wooden stick…”
"In this case... the murderer may be an adult male with a hidden physical disorder," Tao Longyue analyzed a little, and soon came to an even more surprising conjecture, "Or, the murderer is a woman!"
"The continuous act of killing, hiding, and discarding corpses is difficult for a woman to complete." Tao Longyue's steak has been cut, Su Mansheng continued to cut the steak on his plate, "The murderer's technique is very sophisticated, and ordinary doctors may not be able to do it. , the muscle fibers where the skin of the deceased was cut off were very intact, and blood vessels and internal organs could be faintly seen…”
The steak was too raw, and the red juice came out with a knife, looking like Ru Mao drinking blood. Tao Longyue was disgusted while listening to Su Man's voice about the murderer's skinning techniques, while watching her cut the steak without changing his face.
After a meal, I went to the shopping mall, but I didn't talk about it. It was rare to meet my girlfriend. Captain Xiao Tao had not been so relaxed for a long time, and he was reluctant to be involved in this horrific serial murder case so soon.
Passing by the women's clothing department, he saw a long red dress hanging in the window of a shop, Su Mansheng stopped and watched intently.
Su Mansheng was originally a half-breed, beautiful and grand. If she was not a forensic doctor, she could become an actress, but she didn't seem to like red clothes and arms. She seldom wears such bright clothes and has no chance to wear them. Tao Longyue thought for his fiancée very considerately, the city bureau's annual New Year's meeting can put on this red dress to make a splendid look. When he thinks of the other party's stunning appearance, he instantly feels that his face is also brightened. Child glory.
So Captain Xiao Tao generously said, if you like it, I will buy it for you if you like it.
However, Su Mansheng ignored him. She still looked at the red dress with all her attention, her eyes were a little straight, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised in a gesture that was not a smile, and a mysterious expression appeared on her face.
Tao Longyue stared at Su Mansheng's side face for a long time, and was suddenly seized by an inexplicable feeling of heart palpitations. He had never felt that this woman was so strange and so far away.
However, taking a closer look, Su Man's voice had returned to her usual arrogance and arrogance. She turned around and said to him, "No need, let's go."
The appointment ended early, and Tao Longyue drove Su Mansheng home. In order to solve the problem of parking difficulties according to local conditions, the parking lot in Pinmao is currently expanding. The first is to demolish a small park nearby, turn it into a muddy field, and block it with a barbed wire.
As soon as Su Mansheng got into the car, a shrill cry for help came from the muddy ground behind the barbed wire: "Help, help—"
The cry was cut off quickly, as if the caller had been attacked terribly. Before Su Man could call him "go and see", Tao Longyue had already rushed out at the fastest speed - after two steps, he turned back in time and stretched out a With a big hand, he pressed Suman, who also wanted to get out of the car, in the air: "Just wait for me in the car, pay attention to your own safety!"
The small park in the renovation stage was dilapidated, there were no stars in the sky, and there were no lights on the ground, but through the barbed wire fence at a distance, Tao Longyue could still see a man abusing a little girl at a glance. The man is tall, dressed in black, with a mask on his face, the girl has white skin and long hair, and only wears a thin and bright red dress on early winter nights, with a black dog collar tied around his neck.
The man tried to wrap the dog's chain around the girl's face, thus restraining her mouth. The girl knew that she was in danger, and kicked and beat her desperately. In the struggle, she broke the man's mask.
The truth was exposed, and the man quickly picked up the mask and put it on again. The girl took the opportunity to try to escape, but she didn't take two steps, and was dragged down by the man pulling the dog leash. He dragged her along like an animal. Due to the disparity in physical strength, the girl's struggle was futile, and a tragic trace was dragged on the mud.
The barbed wire is almost two meters high, Tao Long jumped a few steps to the net, jumped up, and turned over at the fastest speed.
The man in black saw someone came to save Mei halfway, abandoned the girl, and ran away. Tao Longyue chased him all the way, chased the girl, took out the dog chain that was gagged on her face, and saw that her face was covered in tears, but no one was hurt, and immediately got up and continued to chase the man in black.
The opponent ran very fast, but he was obviously not a professional. He also wanted to jump over the barbed wire, but when he landed, he was unstable and rolled on the ground. Tao Longyue was chasing after him, climbed to the top of the barbed wire without hesitation, then threw himself at the man in black, and straddled him in one fell swoop.
His fists and feet were faster than his tongue, and after Tao Longyue had the upper hand, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly greeted him with his fists. The black-clothed man struggled against his fist, grabbed a handful of sand and threw it towards Tao Longyue's eyes. Tao Longyue turned his head to one side and avoided it very quickly. The man who fell to the ground took the opportunity to get up, turned around and raised his head again, with a face facing Tao Longyue—
Tao Longyue was shocked, even the captain of the criminal police, who was used to seeing bloody scenes, couldn't help but be shocked by the shocking scene in front of him.
A ray of pale light shone on the mask the man was wearing, a stitched human skin mask, with white flowers dripping with blood, and even the delicate texture on the skin could be seen.
Under the human-skin mask, only a pair of dark eyes were exposed, as eerie and terrifying as a crocodile in a deep pool.
The man in black seemed to expect such a reaction from the other party. A dull and heavy laughter came from behind the mask, and when Tao Long was jumping, he also rushed over and launched an attack.
Although the black-clothed man was tall and had strong fists, his ability in frontal melee combat was inferior to that of Captain Xiao Tao, Hai Yuan, and he soon fell behind. He fought and retreated, and he was pinched on the wrist inadvertently. Tao Longyue was unceremonious, pouring force on his five fingers, and dislocating him in one fell swoop.
"Ah!" Su Mansheng rushed over with the girl and suddenly shouted when he saw the two men fighting together.
Originally, the other party was a turtle in a urn, but Su Man's sudden scream made Tao Long jump out of his mind. He only loosened the restraint on the opponent a little bit, but he didn't expect that this man would come around in a flash, quietly took out a scalpel from his sleeve, and stabbed him at once.
"Be careful!"
It was too late for Suman to shout again, the scalpel had been stabbed from the left side of his abdomen. Tao Longyue didn't feel the pain when the ice-cold tip of the knife sank into the hot flesh, but he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
The man in black had been beaten and injured, apparently afraid that more police officers would come, so he ran away.
Tao Longyue bent down abruptly, gasping for breath while clutching his abdomen, his face turned pale in the blink of an eye, and his forehead was full of sweat. Su Mansheng ran over, hugged him, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"Didn't I tell you... I told you to stay where you were..." Tao Longyue covered his abdomen with his hands, blood was constantly pouring out from between his fingers, but he didn't mean to blame the other party, he just said annoyed, "Damn, almost … almost caught it…”
