"It's dog hair and duck feathers again. What does the murderer mean?" Fang Yuanhang asked in confusion, "Could it be that he humiliated the deceased?"
Mingshu put his hands in the pockets of his police trousers and walked into the corridor silently.
Meng Shan's mouth was stuffed with dog hair. Before she was sure that the hair in Tang Qian's mouth was duck hair, she could still think that the murderer might be an extreme dog lover, and Meng Shan had a soft spot for dog meat. It is winter now, and Dongye City has not banned the sale of dog meat. The hawker in the vegetable market across Guangdan Road confirmed that Meng Shan bought dog meat once when the winter started.
But what Tang Qian said was duck feathers.
Was the murderer not only an extreme dog lover, but also an extreme duck protector
Not impossible in theory, but very unlikely in practice.
In both cases, their cut lips were the focus. The murderer aimed at their similar lips, and they were both beautiful women with well-defined features.
But what do dog and duck feathers imply
Mingshu lowered his head slightly and walked back and forth in the corridor.
Is it really "eating people"
The murderer ate the lips of Meng Shan and Tang Qian like the woman who ate a young and healthy bladder
In the interrogation room of the special operations team, the woman laughed arrogantly and said, "You can kill pigs and cattle, why can't I kill men and eat their bladders? Is there any difference between killing men and you killing livestock? In your eyes, pigs and cattle are inferior to human beings, and they are livestock that can be killed and eaten, so your actions are legal. But in my eyes, those men are also inferior livestock. Do people who look like humans must be human? Don't you? You don't think so naively that human beings are not divided into three, six or nine, right? I have money and ability. For me, these low-level people are no different from livestock. I eat a few. , what kind of law did you break?"
Mingshu suddenly stood still.
livestock.
In the woman's eyes, the eight men whose bladders were cut off were just livestock similar to pigs and cattle.
Did the murderer have a similar idea this time
To him, Meng Shan and Tang Qian are just animals similar to dogs and ducks
He eats their lips, the same concept as eating dogs and ducks
If he had committed crimes before, would the victim's mouth be pig feathers, chicken feathers, and fish scales
Such a perverted cannibal must continue to commit crimes!
The probability that he chose the target was random. Meng Shan was followed and didn't know him at all before he was killed, while Tang Qian had communicated with him. Because of the "motivated man", it was very easy to be seduced by him, so she willingly quit her job and went to Fengsheng Town "waiting to die".
A net gradually spread out in Ming Shu's mind.
Although there are many people Tang Qian can come into contact with, the area is actually very narrow. The murderer is eyeing Tang Qian in a bar and a livehouse in Shunyi Street. Every communication between them is face-to-face. Tang Qian may have asked him contact information, but he did not give. The number of their meetings will not be too few, but it will never be too many, because if it is too small, Tang Qian may not listen to him so much, and if there are too many, Tang Qian will definitely not be satisfied with the contact information.
So in Shunyi Street, he is a "semi-regular".
As for his appearance, he will never look bad, nor will he be too old.
The night market on Shunyi Street was where he went to have fun, so the area around Textile Road and Guangdan Road might be where he worked and lived.
Mingshu rubbed his thumb lightly on his index finger. The investigation on Guangdan Road has come to an end. Only the owner of the biscuits stall said that Meng Shan felt that someone was following her, and no one else mentioned that a suspicious person appeared on Guangdan Road.
This is not common sense.
Since Meng Shan already felt that someone was following her, it was impossible for this person to appear only once or twice. If one person follows another person, he must ensure that he will not be discovered, and he must not be like an ordinary passerby in terms of actions and expressions.
And Guangdan Road is a very special place. People there are engaged in funeral business. This business does not distinguish between day and night. At night, there are still many people on Guangdan Road. They either drive out to pick up the remains, or bring equipment Build a mourning hall.
With so many people, didn't one notice the person who followed Meng Shan
There is only one possibility, it is normal for that person to appear on Guangdan Road.
He should appear on Guangdan Road!
"The murderer is likely to be a practitioner in the funeral industry." Mingshu told Xiao Yu'an of his thoughts, "He may even live on Guangdan Road, and Shunyi Street is where he relaxes. When he killed Tang Qian, he chose I'm not sure if he chose a place randomly or if he felt safe in Fengsheng Town."
"I tend to the latter." Xiao Yu'an said, "After he killed Meng Shan and Tang Qian, according to the progressive law of serial murders, when dealing with Meng Shan's body, he chose a place he was familiar with, then Before that, he was more likely to bury Tang Qian's body in a familiar place."
Mingshu nodded, "The crime profile is now more specific - handsome young man, living in and around Guangdan Road, funeral practitioner, single, with enough time to spend the night on Shunyi Street on the other side of the city. , was born in Fengsheng Town, or once lived in Fengsheng Town."
Xiao Yu'an said: "Add a little more, extreme misogyny."
Mingshu raised his eyes, "Huh?"
Xiao Yuan's eyes were sharp, "Can you eat people?"
Mingshu almost choked, "Xiao Bureau, brother, you don't know if I will eat people?"
"Then I'll change the question." Xiao Yu'an said: "The murderers you've met in the past, except for the woman who eats the bladder, do you think they can eat people?"
Mingshu thought for a while, then shook his head, "No, they just kill people."
"Yes, they won't." Xiao Yu'an said, "Even the most ferocious murderers have a low probability of eating people, because in their perception, they kill people just like themselves. The same kind can be killed, and only lower animals can be eaten.”
Mingshu stood up immediately, "The murderer thought that Meng Shan and Tang Qian were inferior to him. What he ate is not human, but livestock! His psychology is the same as that of the woman who eats the bladder!"
Xiao Yu'an nodded, "It's essentially contempt. According to these characteristics we have summarized, we will conduct a comprehensive investigation in Shunyi Street and Guangdan Road. The time gap between the murderer's crime is very short, and there is only a gap between killing Tang Qian and killing Meng Shan. Month, I suspect he has a new goal now."
Mingshu said, "A beautiful woman with a lip shape similar to that of Meng Shan and Tang Qian."
"Let each sub-bureau conduct a detailed investigation into the recent disappearance of young women." Xiao Yu'an said, "List all the missing women whose lips are similar to Meng Shan and Tang Qian. The murderer is likely to kill more than just Meng Shan and Tang Qian. people."
Mingshu said, "I'll do it right away."
The door of the office slammed shut, Xiao Yuan looked at it, and his expression became more serious than before.
Mingshu rarely closes the door like this, and it can be seen that he is quite anxious this time.
Serial killers randomly select targets in the dark, and in a big city like Dongye, it is simply impossible to guard against. The police are there, and no shrewd police officer can know who his next target is, and murder is an instant thing.
Serial killers will eventually be caught, but before they are caught, many innocent people have lost their lives.
This is the most powerless thing.
Xiao Yuan folded his arms in front of his chest, pacing and thinking.
The murderer discriminates against women and focuses on beautiful women.
He can eat any part of their body, why choose lips
M-shaped lips.
In foreign "cannibalism" cases, male murderers slaughtered women, eating parts with strong gender orientation, such as the uterus, feet, and breasts.
The case that Mingshu handled, in which the female murderer ate the bladder of a man, also had a similar meaning.
It's weird that a man eats a woman's mouth with the same lip shape.
If the murderer is a woman, she eats beautiful lips of the same sex, which can also be understood as dissatisfaction with her lips, hoping to make herself beautiful by "filling the shape"...
Xiao Yuan stopped suddenly.

Nancheng District, a section of Milan Road, Dongye Newspaper Group.
Even though traditional newspapers have been devastated by new media and have almost no room to survive, local news departments are as busy as ever.
Every night, the big and small events that happened in the city are summarized in the hand of the night class teacher in the form of manuscripts, and then distributed to the various editors.
In recent years, the threshold for journalists has become lower and lower. Anyone can interview and write manuscripts. The quality of manuscripts received by editors is uneven. Some of them delete a few paragraphs of nonsense, divide them into several parts, and extract a main title. , Some are full of nonsense and have no main points. The most important thing is that the main facts cannot be supported by evidence in the manuscript. This is a terrible thing. Once published, it may be a "false report".
Wen Ling felt a headache when she saw this manuscript, and repeatedly called reporters to ask for additional interviews.
The reporter is a newcomer, a girl who has just graduated from college, and shivers when she hears that she wants to supplement the interview. Wen Ling has finished processing other manuscripts, and one page has been handed over to the editor for typesetting, but the reporter has not sent back the supplementary manuscript.
There is not enough time. If the delay is continued, the publication time has passed, and the money will be deducted for the delay.
It is too easy to be deducted for doing this business. If you are late, you will be deducted. If the advertising page is not coordinated well, you will be deducted. If there is any underreported news, you will be deducted.
Wen Ling was so angry that she called the reporter again, but she actually started crying, saying that the time was too tight and she couldn't finish the supplementary interview.
Wen Ling's eyes darkened, she immediately removed the semi-finished manuscript, and went to the director to ask for a manuscript that could be sent today or tomorrow to fill the "skylight".
After working as an editor for many years, she has seen this kind of thing a lot, and she has been able to handle it completely, but she is still angry.
The paper media is sluggish, and they blame the heaven and the earth as well as others. These newcomers have no responsibility at all. How simple is it to supplement the interview? When she was a reporter herself, one night she wasn't on the phone waiting for the editor's orders to do any supplementary interviews, and she was able to do it in time.
I don't know if it's because the times are different, or if the young people in their early twenties are spoiled.
Wen Ling sighed with emotion for a long time, and heard the beauty editor Xiao Zhao shout: "Sister Wen, your manuscript has too many words, I can't put it down."
Wen Ling drove the people away and sat down to adjust the layout by herself.
Xiao Zhao is also a freshman who has just graduated from the School of Design of Dongye University. He has a high degree of education, but he can't do the simplest jobs well. Wen Ling was hired in the heyday of the paper media. Although she was a writer, she was very strict in those days, and she could even be an editor.
What Xiao Zhao can't do, she can finish it in two or three times.
One night was like fighting a war. Seeing that the work of the day was about to be completed, a sudden report came from the night shift reporter. The leader was afraid that the paper media in the same city would take away the exclusive and let Wen Ling dismantle the manuscript and replace it.
This kind of thing is too common. It is so common that Wen Ling is already numb, and it is already 3:00 in the morning when all the pages are signed.
Immediately after get off work, several editors sat in the office to take a breather.
The high-intensity work made Wen Ling unable to turn her head, leaning on the edge of the table in a trance.
"The little Lingzi of the past has become an old Lingzi now." Chang Gaoqiang joked: "Old Lingzi, I suggest you change your position. In our position, you can't be a woman for a lifetime."
Xu Xiaohou echoed: "In our editor, you are a woman in your thirties. You have to toss until two or three o'clock every day, and five or six o'clock when the meeting is held. Can you bear it?"
Wen Ling waved her hand, indicating that she did not want to speak.
Chang Gaoqiang was more serious this time, "It's really not a problem to endure like this, you should think about it. You are so beautiful, don't let yourself go to hell."
Colleagues have all left, Wen Ling dozed off leaning on her engineering chair, and slowly remembered when she first worked many years ago.
She is beautiful and has many suitors, but her work is too busy. She works from afternoon to midnight every day, and there is no time to communicate.
In a flash, for ten years, the suitors disappeared. Others said that she was more charming when she was older. In fact, she knew that she was old.
Her work as a newspaper editor was destined to be her only working around the clock. After others got off work, she could go shopping and go to restaurants. She only got off work in the early hours of the morning. The only place for entertainment was Shunyi Street across the road.
She has been to all the bars and clubs there, including gay bars.
Wen Ling took out the mirror and stared blankly at herself with fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
This face is nourished by thousands of skin care products, and it still looks beautiful now. But Chang Gaoqiang was right, she shouldn't go on like this anymore.
She is the only woman in the entire night shift editorial team. Those female colleagues who joined the newspaper with her have either changed careers or transferred to day shift positions over the years, and she is the only one who still insists foolishly.
Maybe it's time for a change.
Thinking of this, Wen Ling has reached the intersection between Milan Road and Shunyi Street.
This area is always more lively at night than during the day, Wen Ling hesitated to go to the bar for a drink.
Just have a drink and sleep well.
Wen Ling persuaded herself and walked across the road.
"Wonderland" is Wen Ling's most frequented bar. There is a gay bar there. Wen Ling likes it because drinking here will not be harassed by men with bad intentions.
The figures embraced each other under the light, Wen Ling drank three glasses, and her mood was not as heavy as when she came in.
When she left, she faintly felt that someone was looking at her, but when she turned back, she did not catch the strange gaze.
"Hum hum… "
Wenling bought a house nearby four years ago, and it was only a fifteen-minute walk away. She hummed a song and walked briskly in the dark.
Many girls are afraid to go out in the middle of the night, but Wen Ling used to be a reporter, and went to all kinds of strange news sites in the early morning. Now she is an editor. She goes home alone every night. more sluggish.
She didn't feel someone behind her until she walked into an alley.
Turning around, he found that walking behind was a woman with long hair and a long skirt.
This is nothing to be afraid of.
Wen Ling thought, maybe they were going home and just happened to pass this road.

"Crazy Cat" live broadcast platform.
"Stubborn Bluegrass" is on the air.
"Lanlan is here!"
"Lanlan good evening!"
"Lanlan has been so lazy lately. In the first half of the year, it started broadcasting every other day. Sometimes it was not broadcast at night, and it was made up during the day. How can it be broadcasted only once after so many days? I'm going to burst the purse!"
"Rich woman is awesome!"
"Who doesn't love a rich woman!"
The anchor smiled softly at the camera, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy recently, and I really don't have much time to broadcast."
"Ah! Lan Lan is so pretty when she smiles!"
"Brush up the spaceship!"
"My purse is finally relieved!"
"What are you doing, Lanlan? Work or life?"
The anchor tilted his head, "Well... Is it a matter of work or a matter of life to be busy becoming beautiful?"
"Lanlan, you are already so beautiful, do you still want to be beautiful?"
"Look at Lanlan, then look at me, I deserve to be ugly!"
"How to become beautiful? The anchor quickly plant a grass for me!"
The anchor seemed a little hesitant, her heavily make-up eyes curved slightly and her lips pursed.
"Do you want us to guess? I can't guess."
"Lanlan, give me a hint?"
"Am I the only one who found out? Lan Lan has often changed her lipstick recently, but she didn't change much before."
The anchor touched his lower lip with his index finger, "Because I'm not very satisfied here."
"Nonsense, your lip shape is particularly beautiful."
"Not only lip shape, you look good everywhere!"
There was surprise in the anchor's eyes, "Really?"
"Of course it's true, I follow your makeup, and my mother praises me for being beautiful!"
"Why your mother?"
"Hahahahaha!"
"Come here! The spaceship is here! Lan Lan, I love you!"
"Thank you." The anchor smiled politely, "Do you really think my lips look good?"
"It's beautiful!"
"Tell us about the beauty method you used?"
The anchor smiled even more brilliantly, and the lips painted with bright lipstick seemed to have a mouthful of blood.
"I won't tell you for a while," the anchor said playfully.

"Wonderland" is one of the bars that Tang Qian often goes to. The owner, surnamed Ning, is in his forties. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't look like the owner of the bar.
"The surveillance is all here. If you need anything else, just tell me." Boss Ning said: "But we have a lot of traffic here, and we can do everything. If there are criminals in it, I don't know. After all, everyone When you come to my store, you are a customer, and I will not ask them what they do."
In addition to "Wonderland", Tang Qian also often goes to "sky" and "second battlefield".
But the murderer did not necessarily meet Tang Qian in these three places, and even if they did, they might not necessarily be caught by the camera.
Checking the monitoring for a month is a heavy workload. Zhou Yuan's eyes are red, and when he stands up, there are double images in front of him.
After rounds of screening, the serious crime team finally locked on a man who always wore a light gray suit. This man appeared by Tang Qian's side many times and had intimate physical movements with Tang Qian.
And his appearance in "Wonderland" is also very suspicious. After all, "Wonderland" is gay, and he is alone, never chatting up with men, but getting close to women.
Boss Ning looked at the man in the red circle, "He usually comes around 10 o'clock. I don't know what he does. After Tang Qian didn't come back, he came less often."
That night, Xu Chun found a man in a light gray suit at another bar on Shunyi Street.
This person's name is Wu Xuecheng, an unknown cartoonist, specializing in the aesthetics of violence, and the women in his writings are all ruthless and poisonous women.
According to him, he did not come to Shunyi Street for fun, but to find creative inspiration. The men and women who are active at night are like the ghosts walking at night in the folklore of the neighbors, and Tang Qian's temperament looks down on the same sex. , gave him great creative passion.
"I didn't ask her for contact information, because it's not necessary, I'm not concerned about her private life." Wu Xuecheng defended himself, "I haven't seen her for a long time. If you find her, be sure to tell me."
"Not this person." Mingshu frowned.
"All the people who have been in contact with Tang Qian have been verified, and none of them fit the profile." Yi Fei's face was grim, "Could it be that there is a problem with our direction?"
"Master!" Fang Yuanhang hurried over, "Found a missing person with a high degree of matching conditions!"
Wen Xi, female, 28 years old, like Tang Qian, is not a native of Dongye City. She works in Ocean Garden Film City in Nancheng District and rents a community near Ocean Garden. The last time she clocked in to work on September 19 this year was September 23 when she realized that she might have an accident, and immediately called the police and notified her family members in other places. The police station opened a case for investigation, but Wen Xi has not been found so far.
Movie City and Wen Xi's family have provided multiple photos. This is another beautiful girl, but her beauty is different from Meng Shan and Tang Qian. The only thing they have in common on their facial features is that their lips are slightly M-shaped. .
"Ocean Garden Movie City is right next to Shunyi Street!" Fang Yuanhang said, "3 months have passed since September 19th, and the murderer killed a woman in a month. Wen Xi may have already..."
At the other end of the serious crime team, Xiao Yuan pushed open the door of the technical investigation office and stood behind Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan quickly stood up, "Xiao Bureau."
Xiao Yu'an said, "Tell me the monitoring of 'Wonderland' again."
While operating, Zhou Yuan said, "We've read the surveillance over and over again many times, and Xu Chun has confirmed the identities of all those who have approached Tang Qian."
Xiao Yu'an's eyes were cold, but there was a light in his eyes that seemed to be able to see through all obstacles.
"No, you're missing someone," he said.
Zhou Yuan was startled, "Who?"
On the screen, a "beauty" with long wavy hair was standing not far from Tang Qian.
Xiao Yuan said: "A 'woman'."
