After saying "kill", Zhou Yu entered a strange state of madness, laughing and crying for a while, and finally jumped onto the dining table and plunged into the hot soup pot.
For a while, the chickens flew and the dogs jumped. Although Zhou Yu was a lunatic, he was still very sensitive to pain. He was scalded and screamed one after another. The sound was like a dog that was about to die, which attracted the dogs of the nearby farmhouses to respond.
Zhou Changyou hurriedly pulled Zhou Yu off and beat him at the head, "I'm driving you crazy! I'm driving you crazy!"
Zhou Yu cried hysterically, and Mingshu finally asked him a question: "Is that person a brother or a sister?"
"Brother!" Zhou Yu said, "Tall man! Brother!"
Mingshu took a deep breath.
The gender of the killer is a major doubt. Judging from the characteristics of the crime shown in the Meng Shan case, the murderer is more likely to be a man, but the possibility of a strong woman committing the crime cannot be ruled out, and the behavior of cutting lips and suspected eating lips implies that the murderer is a woman.
In Tang Qian's case, Tang Qian booked a couple's room and bought a by-law suite, so she should be waiting for a man.
Taken together, it can almost be concluded that the murderer is a male.
As for the suspected act of eating lips, there may be other explanations.
But after all, no one has seen the murderer, and Mingshu cannot be 100% sure of the murderer's gender.
Although Zhou Yu has a problem with his IQ, his behavior of clenching his fists and hitting his head proves that he was a witness to the murder - most likely the only witness.
He saw that the murderer was a man.
It's a pity that he didn't see clearly, or couldn't remember the killer's appearance and clothing features.
"I got goosebumps when I heard him howling!" Fang Yuanhang handed Mingshu his forearm, "It's pitiful and infiltrative."
Mingshu clapped his apprentice's dirty hands away, "Zhou Yu can't describe the appearance of the murderer, we can only investigate it ourselves. In late October, Fengsheng Town was still in the peak tourist season, there were many tourists, and the murderer was hiding. Among them. The investigation task is quite arduous. The murderer may have stayed at Zhou Changyou's farmhouse. Before and after Tang Qian's death, everyone on the farmhouse order must be verified. "
"If I were the murderer, I wouldn't live in any farmhouse." Fang Yuanhang said: "As long as I stay, I will leave a record. Isn't this exposing myself?"
"That's right, but you can't stop the investigation because of this." Mingshu unconsciously took out the small tin box containing the rose candy, switched from left hand to right while speaking, opened it and ate a candy, "The murderer may play a counter-logic. "
Fang Yuanhang stared at the small tin box and suddenly said, "Master, where did you buy rose candy?"
Mingshu's mind was full of cases, and he said without thinking, "Given by Xiao Bureau."
Fang Yuanhang: "..."
Mingshu: "…"
"Master, I'm busy." Fang Yuanhang turned around politely and embarrassedly, "I'll check everyone out for you!"
Let you send me candy after eating rose candy!
Mingshu looked down at the small iron box, and after two seconds he put it back into the pocket of his police trousers, returned to the police car, and opened the instant video from Xu Chun.
Dongye City, Shunyi Street.
"I didn't call the police because I didn't know Tang Qian was missing!"
The owner of the "Peach Blossom Jiao" studio is a man in his thirties, wearing a modified suit, with thin arms and thin legs, and his ankles are exposed in the cold weather, "She resigned with me in late October. I'm looking for a work diary for you... Well, you see, the last time she came to work was October 24th."
Xu Chun asked, "What's the reason for Tang Qian's resignation? The end of the year is the peak business period for your business. You didn't try to keep her?"
The boss waved his hand: "No need, I won't rush if you want to stay with me, and I won't stay if you don't want to."
Seeing that the boss didn't finish his sentence, Xu Chun asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
The boss was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, "I know you want to know Tang Qian's social circle from me, but I really don't know. In our line of business, we must deal with those who are not in the eyes of you, and we all have business. It doesn't matter if it's a girl or someone sells it, so everyone has some secrets. If you're not willing to let others know your secrets, then don't inquire about other people's secrets. Officer, do you understand what I mean?"
"You mean, although you are colleagues, you don't know each other." Xu Chun paused, "But you are not Tang Qian's colleague, but her boss. You should know more than others."
The boss's already relaxed expression became tense again.
"Tang Qian was killed the day after he resigned and left." Xu Chun said solemnly, "The details you know can help us solve this murder case."
The boss twisted his slender waist uncomfortably, "Tang, Tang Qian has a bad character and offended a lot of people. The employees in our store, including myself, didn't get along well with her..."
Xu Chun said, "Is that why you accepted her resignation?"
"Speaking of this, I won't hide anything." The boss took out a lady's cigarette and lit it, "Tang Qian is from the countryside. Ah, I don't discriminate against the rural people, I myself came from the countryside, But I don't have any of her weird problems with me."
Xu Chun asked, "What's wrong? Tell me in detail."
"How... how did she say..." The boss seemed to be unable to find the right words, and said after a long time, "She admires men."
"What?" Xu Chun thought he heard it wrong, "Mu Nan?"
"Oh, I'll explain it to you like this." The boss shook his cigarette ashes, "In some rural areas, sons are more important than women, to what extent do they value men over women, that is, men are regarded as upper-class people and women are regarded as lower-class people, do you understand? "
Xu Chun nodded.
When a criminal police officer, especially a field police officer, the more he goes to remote mountain villages, the more clearly he understands the patriarchal situation.
"Aren't there many people on social media now engaged in feminist movements? I am also a supporter, but Tang Qian is not. She is a woman, and she actually curses these activities!" The boss showed a surprised expression, "As a woman, she looks down on her. Women—including herself. She was really influenced by her living environment, and she deeply felt that women were subordinates of men, that women were inferior to men, and that others wanted to help her, and she thought others were nosy. Anyway, any When it comes to her, there is a double standard between men and women. What a man says, even if it is bullshit, it is a decree, and what a woman says, even if it makes sense, it is bullshit. As long as it is a man, she worships it. Don't look at how she dresses herself up So foreign, in fact, she has something in her heart called... a servant!"
"Minion." Mingshu put the phone on the shelf.
Before hearing the description of the boss of "Peach Blossom Jiao", he did not expect Tang Qian to have the so-called "Men Mu" trait.
Tang Qian obeys men's words, so it is really easy for the murderer to control Tang Qian.
Tang Qian's resignation and vacation in Fengsheng Town were mostly orders of the murderer.
But how did the murderer give orders to Tang Qian
Tang Qian's communication records are now being queried one by one. Unlike Meng Shan, Tang Qian has numerous contacts on her mobile phone, and her online chat records are also quite explicit.
"Tang Qian often said that women are useless, women should be vassals of men, and women dress up to make men look comfortable." The boss shook his head, "I can't accept her thoughts when I hear her. Girls are annoying her and don't like to work with her. She also looks down on her same-sex. What she often talks about is - my brother said. Be a god, right? We have a lot of bars here. When she doesn't have a job, she goes to the bar to find a man. As long as a man takes care of her, she is very proud, like she has some light. Everyone in the neighborhood knows who she is. , the women can't stand her, the men may play with her attitude, a few guests who come to me often have complained to me many times, saying that they don't want to see her, don't want to hear her say those 'women just "Should wait for a man' or something like that. But she's been with me for several years, so I can't just dismiss her casually. That day, she voluntarily resigned, and I went with the flow and approved it."
After chatting, Tang Qian's image became clearer in Xu Chun's heart, and he asked, "Do you know which bars Tang Qian often goes to?"
The boss took Xu Chun outside the door and pointed at three places, "That's right, there, and that. I really don't know anything else. Don't tell me what clues I've provided. It's messy here, and I don't want to. Get yourself into trouble."
Just when the serious crime team started the operation, Tang Qian's family came to Dongye City.
As the boss of "Peach Blossom Jiao" said, this is indeed a family where men are superior to women. Tang Qian's mother and sister, like Tang Qian, have no status at home.
The family made a scene at the Criminal Investigation Bureau and demanded that the police immediately give an explanation and compensate their family for their losses.
"Am I right?" Zhou Yuan said in surprise: "Their daughter was killed, and they only see it as a 'loss'? Do you want us to compensate? We are the police, how can we compensate?"
Xu Chun said, "I'm so messed up, I thought this was the police station of their village."
Zhou Yuan couldn't understand it. "The police station can't do this. Do they know that their daughter was killed?"
"I know, but I don't care. In a family like theirs, only men are precious, and women are just like pigs and dogs in the family. Death is just a 'loss' that can be made up for with money. You stay in the game all the time. I don’t usually have access to these people, so I see a lot.” Xu Chun sighed, “The perception that ‘men are noble and women are low’ has taken root in Tang Qian’s heart, and it was her family who gave her the name.’ The stigma of admiring men and hating women."
"Is there a connection between 'Mu Nan' and 'Have Girl'? Is Tang Qian's murder related to this?" Zhou Yuan said, "The murderer hates people like Tang Qian and thinks she is a cancer that must be eradicated? But How can I explain Meng Shan's death? Meng Shan is introverted and rarely contacts with men, so she has no clear tendency to 'love men'."
"Killed because of 'Mu Nan' tendency?" Xiao Yuan came downstairs, just in time to hear Xu Chun and Zhou Yuan discussing.
"Xiao Bureau." Zhou Yuan was a little embarrassed, "I'm just talking casually."
Xiao Yu'an said: "It's a very novel idea, remember to mention it to the Ming team during the meeting."
·
The Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Beicheng Branch quickly found out that the real name of the person whose online name is "护" is Cai Xinyue, female, 31 years old, and the designer of the "Storm" secret room club in Nancheng District.
Cai Xinyue's reaction was intriguing when she learned that Huang Yan was killed at home.
She didn't react immediately, then smiled and said "how is it possible", while Xiang Tao kept staring at her eyes seriously.
When she finally realized that the young detective in front of her was not joking, Cai Xinyue's cheeks suddenly turned pale, and the panic in her eyes undoubtedly revealed, "Sister Yan, is Sister Yan really dead?"
Xiang Tao said, "Really?"
On weekday mornings, there were not many guests in the "Storm" secret room club. There was only one table of guests in the public area. Two cleaning aunts were cleaning the demon statue by the window.
Cai Xinyue moved her lips and looked around fearfully, "Let's talk in another place."
Xiang Tao followed Cai Xinyue to an empty room.
There are various props stacked in the room, the most notable are the two huge wolf heads. Probably it has not been used for a long time, the right eye of a wolf head has fallen out, and the empty hollow is facing Xiang Tao, making people feel uncomfortable for no reason.
However, Xiang Tao soon discovered that the uncomfortable feeling was not only from the wolf's head, but also from the atmosphere in the whole room.
Before it was used as a storage room, it should have been a hospital scene. The walls were painted blood red, and there were many slap prints on it. In these slap prints, the faces of babies and hunched figures of adults could be vaguely seen.
There are two operating tables in the center of the room. Like the walls, the operating tables are full of blood.
On the wall stood dilapidated cabinets with bottles and jars soaking human and animal organs in formalin.
Of course, these are just professional sets.
Xiang Tao has played a lot of secret rooms, and knows that this kind of scene was once all the rage, but now it has been replaced by more terrifying and supernatural scenes, so after losing its popularity, it was transformed into a temporary warehouse.
"What's the relationship between you and Huang Yan?" Xiang Tao pulled his attention away from the scene, and suddenly realized that Cai Xinyue brought herself to this room, perhaps more than just "taking a step to talk".
Anyone who enters here will forget for a moment what they were thinking about at the time.
Cai Xinyue may be trying to interfere with him.
But why did Cai Xinyue do this
"We... We are just ordinary friends." Cai Xinyue looked away, "You can see that, my job is to design the script for the secret room. I need a lot of folklore and supernatural materials, and I have to go to secret rooms all over the country to learn scriptures, and sometimes I have to look for clues on the Internet. Sister Yan, I met Huang Yan on the Internet. She is very knowledgeable and is really an expert in this field. She has written horror before. After I knew that she and I were both in Dongye City, we just Ask her often, she, she helps me a lot. Sometimes I have a preliminary idea of a backroom script, and she helps me add a lot of attractive elements.”
Xiang Tao observed Cai Xinyue's expression. Although he just learned that someone he knew was killed, normal people's emotions would fluctuate greatly, but Cai Xinyue was dodging, afraid, not sad.
"Ordinary friends?" Xiang Tao said, "But you seem to know why Huang Yan died?"
A string of cold sweat immediately slid down Cai Xinyue's forehead.
Xiang Tao said, "Ms. Cai, your eyes make me wonder, you already knew that Huang Yan might have an accident."
When Cai Xinyue heard the words, she froze and took a few steps back. The high-heeled shoes stepped on the amputated prop behind her and made a soft sound.
"Ah!" Cai Xinyue cried out, holding the wall with her right hand.
"I didn't know that something might have happened to her, yes, yes..." Cai Xinyue's eyes were red, and she said hesitantly, "I have been in this business for a long time, and I am more and more afraid of ghosts and gods, and I believe in karma."
Xiang Tao brought a chair and wiped the dust off it, "Sit down and talk, what's going on?"
Cai Xinyue sat for a while, and finally said, "Sister Yan has raised her, she has raised a pair of ghost children."
Xiang Tao immediately remembered those 24 "ghost cards".
The most primitive "ghost card" in Qiuxu Village is made of the old man's corpse oil and the baby's heart blood!
"Have you seen these things?" Xiang Tao called out the photo of the "ghost card".
When Cai Xinyue saw it, she covered her mouth hard to prevent herself from screaming.
Xiang Tao said, "As expected, you have seen it. Where did Huang Yan get these 'ghost cards'?"
"Where did you find these things?" Cai Xinyue said in horror: "A corpse? A corpse! Is it next to Sister Yan's body?"
Xiang Tao shook his head, "Why do you think they would appear next to the corpse?"
"Because they are provoked! If Sister Yan is dead, so will I!" Cai Xinyue cried, "We shouldn't touch these things!"
Xiang Tao understood, "You also have a 'ghost card'?"
Cai Xinyue nodded tremblingly, "It was a year ago..."
A year ago, Cai Xinyue encountered a bottleneck in her work and confided to Huang Yan. Huang Yan first comforted her, and then proposed to "transport" together.
At first, Cai Xinyue didn't know that Huang Yan's "transportation" was a "ghost card", so she followed Huang Yan to a place in the north called "Silin Town". Because of the backwardness there, many families who gave birth to a baby girl would abandon it on the mountain, or suffocate directly to death.
Some people who make "ghost cards" - known in the industry as "master craftsmen" - search around town for discarded baby girls who are still alive, take their hearts and make "ghost cards", Some "master craftsmen" even go to town people's homes to "purchase" baby girls.
Cai Xinyue was shocked when she found out. In her perception, after Qiu Xu Village, which specializes in "ghost cards", was strictly controlled, there would be no "ghost cards" among the people. Villages and towns took root.
Huang Yan said that she came here to raise her "daughter". These baby girls were abandoned in the mountains. Even if the "master craftsman" did not do it, they would not be able to live. Save it, she supports them, and they will protect her and make her business better and better.
Cai Xinyue saw with her own eyes that "Master Craftsman" made "Ghost Cards". Huang Yan's 24 "Ghost Cards" were made from the heart blood of a pair of twin baby girls. "Master Craftsman" told her to put 12 of them on In the bedroom, the other 12 are placed in other rooms of the house, and must be dedicated to them.
Cai Xinyue seemed to have fallen into evil, and asked the "master craftsman" to make a pair of "ghost cards" for herself.
After having the "ghost card", Cai Xinyue obviously felt that her work had improved. Although she was still a little scared, she gradually calmed down when she thought that these baby girls were dead anyway, and doing this by herself was considered a blessing for them.
Xiang Tao was shocked, "You guys can actually do such a thing?"
Cai Xinyue shook her head, "But I didn't kill people! Help me! I don't want to die!"
Criminal Investigation Bureau, Serious Cases Unit.
All the people who had close contact with Tang Qian a month before Tang Qian's murder have all confirmed their identities, including bartenders in bars, white-collar workers who came to Shunyi Street for fun, and "male models" who performed at night. These people all admitted that they had a relationship with Tang Qian, but refused to admit that they were related to Tang Qian's death. After further investigation, they all had alibi from October 26 to 27.
"The alibi cannot completely clear their suspicions." Fang Yuanhang said: "Tang Qian was only captured by the camera of the farmhouse on the 26th for the last time, and the mobile phone on the 26th was used for the last time. This does not mean that she was on the 26th to the 27th. No specific time of death was given by Mr. Xing.
Xing Mu raised his hand innocently, "It's been more than a month since Tang Qian was killed, and it's impossible to pinpoint the time of death to the day."
"If the murderer had already arrived in Fengsheng Town on the 26th, why did Tang Qian disappear?" Mingshu said, "She shouldn't have been hiding somewhere by herself, hiding for more than three days, waiting for the murderer to kill her, right?"
Fang Yuanhang thought for a while, "That's true."
"Is it possible that these people are the murderers? You can also refer to the time of Meng Shan's murder." Mingshu added: "Don't forget, the two cases have been merged, and the person who killed Tang Qian was the one who killed Meng Shan. The time of death is not only accurate to the day, but also to the hour."
"Since the murderer is a serial killer targeting beautiful women's lips, he shouldn't be exposed easily." Yi Fei said: "He and Tang Qian should have other ways of contact. Tang Qian resigned and ordered a farm stay. Before she was promoted to town, these were all at the mercy of the murderer. The murderer had already hooked up with Tang Qianshang when she was working in 'Peach Blossom Jiao'. When the murderer killed Meng Shan, he started directly in the city. When the murderer killed Tang Qian, why did he lead Tang Qian to Fengsheng Town?"
"The murderer killed Tang Qian before killing Meng Shan. There is a law in serial murders, and the murderer will become more daring in the continuous crime. The first time - assuming Tang Qian is the first victim - the murderer is worried that he will expose himself by committing crimes in the city. , so I led Tang Qian to the township and buried the body." Mingshu said, "But choose Fengsheng Town... Could it be that the murderer is familiar with Fengsheng Town? Fengsheng Town, like Textile Road and Guangdan Road, is also a safe area for him. ?"
Fang Yuanhang asked: "Will the murderer be a native of Fengsheng Town? Let me explain. He was born in Fengsheng Town and is very familiar with Fengsheng Town. He currently lives in the city. The area around Textile Road and Guangdan Road in the urban area, and the second is Shunyi Street in Nancheng District.”
Just as everyone was nervously sorting out clues, the technical team finally identified the half-rotten hair in Tang Qian's mouth.
It wasn't really dog hair, but a poke of duck feathers.
