In Beicheng District, there is a house built more than 30 years ago.
Yi Fei broke through the door, and in the darkness, a strong aroma rushed to his face.
"What does it taste like?" Xu Chun asked.
"Perfume." Yi Fei pressed on the top light, "The smell of many perfumes mixed together."
Lights illuminated the two-bedroom, one-bedroom house, and its furnishings surprised all the detectives present.
The curtains in the living room are tightly closed, the outer layer is the most common old-fashioned blue curtain, while the inner layer is a powder blue lace flower curtain.
The common wall spots and tide marks of old houses do not exist here. The blue and white marine-style stickers are pasted on the wall. The sofa and coffee table are all European-style. Next to them is a clothes hanger big enough to be used as a screen, which is densely packed. Hundreds of women's trousers and skirts hang.
On the opposite side of this "screen", there is a white desktop computer with cameras, microphones, makeup, and pink-covered notebooks neatly placed on the table.
This is where "Stubborn Bluegrass" does live broadcasts.
Zhou Yuan stepped forward to check the computer, and Yi Fei and Xu Chun walked inside.
There were two bedrooms, one was open and the other was locked. One of the team members immediately took out a tool to unlock it, and Yi Fei walked into the open one.
It seems that Niu Tianlan usually lives in this room. The style of wallpaper and curtains is the same as that of the living room.
"It's a male bear." Xu Chun said, "Niu Tianlan dresses himself up as a woman. If I don't know who lives here, if I look at the style of this house, I will definitely think that the owner is a woman. But why doesn't he Make it more complete and put on a doll in a skirt?"
"Because he hates women." Yi Fei said, "He dressed up as a woman, not because he liked women, but because he was jealous of their looks."
Xu Chun said with a "tsk", "I hate to be in contact with these mentally troubled people. Every time I have to doubt my life."
Yi Fei looked around the whole bedroom and sighed: "Who is not?"
Another bedroom was opened, and the first team member who rushed in scolded: "Hey, I'm going!"
Yi Fei rushed over immediately.
Completely different from the other two rooms, this locked bedroom has nothing to do with fantasy and romance, and even the installed light is only a pale energy-saving lamp.
Outside the blue curtain, there is a window sealed with an iron fence, the iron fence is rusted and the smell is very strong.
It's hard to see such iron fences in cities now, and it's easily reminiscent of dead prisons.
There are a lot of mildew spots on the walls of the room, but what is even more shocking is that there are dark black marks next to the mildew spots.
Ordinary people may not be able to see what it is, but the detective knows at a glance that it is blood that has been deposited for a long time.
A bed without bedding was placed beside the wall, and there were bloodstains on the bed, as if someone had been trapped in this bed and struggled desperately.
Yi Fei slowly opened the door of the wooden cabinet and took out a box wrapped in red cloth.
The box is made of hardwood and is heavy.
"The urn." Yi Fei said.
"There is no nameplate on it." Xu Chun took the urn over, "Could it be another victim?"
Yi Fei shook his head, "Probably not. The murderer threw the body twice, so he shouldn't put the victim's ashes at home."
Zhou Yuan shouted in the living room, "Team Yi, come and have a look."
Niu Tianlan's computer contains a large number of photos of women. From an angle, they are all candid shots without exception. If you look at the appearance, the people in the photos are all beautiful women. Their common feature is that their lips are more or less full. into an M shape.
"This is Tang Qian, in Shunyi Street. This is Meng Shan, near Textile Road." Zhou Yuan said nervously: "This is Wen Xi, who disappeared. She was probably killed near the studio. And so on. Many people, have they all…”
By classifying all the photos, as many as 67 women can be found secretly photographed by Niu Tianlan.
If they were all killed, it would be a case that shocked the whole country.
Yi Fei shook his head, "Impossible. The backgrounds of these photos are almost all in Shunyi Street, and a small amount is in Beicheng District. If so many women suddenly disappear in one area, we have no reason to know now. Niu Tianlan is further among these people. After screening, Meng Shan and others were finally selected."
Zhou Yuan felt very sad, his hands were clenched into fists, and his shoulders were shaking slightly.
"Sort by shooting time." Yi Fei said, "Look for the person he shot recently."
Zhou Yuan said: "We can't save those who were killed, but we can also protect those who have just become his targets, but have not yet been poisoned!"
·
An airtight net has been slowly lowered in and around Shunyi Street.
Under the night, people took off the disguise of the day and revealed their original appearance in the dark lights and different styles of music.
Niu Tianlan has not yet appeared, and in every street where he may appear, at least one plainclothes policeman is guarding.
It is rare for Mingshu to wear clothes and shoes that do not match his identity as a police officer at work. His hair is also styled with shaping water. Most of his forehead hair is combed back, but it is not a traditional back. The collar is open with two buttons, and he looks lazy. And sexy.
He was sitting on a high chair in the bar, like a dandy looking for prey for entertainment, his eyes gazing at the suspect as sharp as a knife, scanning the crowd around him.
In the headset, the team members are reporting to him the situation of each lane.
In the mobile phone, Yi Fei sent more than ten photos.
"This person is likely to be Niu Tianlan's next target." Yi Fei said, "I have already confirmed the identity of my colleagues in the information group. Wen Ling, the night shift editor of Dongye Newspaper Group, lives in Xia, west of Shunyi Street. It's on the way. Niu Tianlan has been following her lately."
Mingshu said, "Okay, leave it to me. Have you found any evidence in Niu Tianlan's house?"
"A lot of secret photos are counted as one. In addition, there is a locked room in his house. There are bloodstains on the walls and bed. The bloodstains are currently being examined." Yi Fei said: "I also found an urn with fingerprints on it. "
After hanging up the phone, Ming Shu immediately made adjustments to the team members, dispatched additional staff near the Dongye Newspaper Group, and rushed over.
In the early morning, Niu Tianlan appeared on Shunyi Street, but she was no longer dressed as a woman.
When wearing a skirt, many people will turn back when they see him, but when wearing men's clothes, he is just one of the thousands of green leaves on this street, especially when he wears a mask, no one will notice him at all.
"I see Niu Tianlan." Fang Yuanhang followed ten meters away, staring intently at each other, and said in a low voice, "jackets, sneakers, and a black backpack, it seems that he intends to commit a crime tonight. I guess he has a hammer in that bag."
Mingshu has moved to the street downstairs of Dongye Newspaper Group, "Keep an eye on people and don't get lost."
"rest assured."
Niu Tianlan has been wandering around Shunyi Street, but has not entered any bars.
Fang Yuanhang noticed that he was very familiar with the public surveillance here. Every time he walked to a place where he might be photographed, he turned a corner and avoided the camera.
At 1:20 in the morning, Niu Tianlan left Shunyi Street and walked towards Dongye Newspaper Group via an unmonitored path.
Fang Yuanhang said, "Master, he has passed."
Mingshu looked up at the lit windows of the newspaper group.
At this time, several of them went out.
It seemed that Niu Tianlan had already figured out the night shift editor's off-duty time.
"Ming team, he has not come out in the second lane." A team member asked: "Do you want to arrest now or wait?"
Mingshu glanced at the time, "Wait."
From 1:30 to 2:30, night shift editors from the newspaper group kept leaving, but Niu Tianlan's target - Wen Ling - never appeared.
Niu Tianlan obviously didn't know that every action he made at this time was under the watchful eyes of the police. He suddenly squatted on the ground and took out the contents of his backpack.
is a hammer.
It is the exact same hammer used by the cremators of the "West Moon" funeral home.
Before long, he put the hammer in again.
At 3 o'clock, one of the office lights went out.
A few minutes later, four men and one woman appeared at the door of the newspaper group.
The only woman was Wen Ling.
Niu Tianlan pulled up the hood of his jacket, quickly left the second lane where he was hiding, and walked towards Wen Ling's residence.
Fang Yuanhang immediately followed, like a shadow cast into the darkness.
Wen Ling and a young man with glasses talked for a while on the side of the road. It seemed that the other party wanted to take her home, but she shook her head after hesitating.
In the eyes of many people, Shunyi Street is a city that never sleeps, but in fact, once it passes 2 am, most of the guests who are looking for fun leave. A big truck that can only enter the city at night, the sound of the wheels running over the road tells the hardships of life.
Wen Ling didn't show any unpleasant expression after being thrown ashes by the big truck, as if she had long been used to it. It might also be because she was also a night worker and it was not easy for her to understand each other.
She looked left and right, walked across the road, her pace was getting faster and faster, and she seemed a little nervous.
Cross this road and you have to enter an alley.
Although it is winter, the trees planted in Dongye City are all evergreen trees, and the street lights shine from behind the trees, reflecting the shadows of claws and claws in the alleys.
Wen Ling walked a few steps in the alley, took a deep breath, then lowered her head and almost ran.
The farther we went, the thicker the shadows of the trees grew, a street lamp was broken, and the darkness spread like a cloud.
Suddenly, Wen Ling stopped, and a second later, she took a step back.
In her sight, a pair of man's feet appeared.
Niu Tianlan stood in front of her, holding a hammer in one hand, and took off his hood in the other, revealing a handsome but evil face.
Wen Ling covered her mouth, the blood on her face had faded away.
Niu Tianlan approached Wen Ling step by step. And in the darkness behind him, the police who had been waiting for a long time rushed out like arrows from the string.
"Bang-"
The hammer fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
Wen Ling was stunned, and finally fell to the ground with her legs weak.
Tears poured out of her eyes, and she pressed her chest tightly, not letting herself scream.
Mingshu stepped forward, held her arm, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, policeman."
Niu Tianlan was pinned to the ground by Fang Yuanhang and another criminal policeman. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly began to struggle and howled, "Let me go! Let me go!"
"Be honest!" Fang Yuanhang pulled him up, "Niu Tianlan, how many more people do you want to kill?"
Niu Tianlan's eyes widened in surprise, and his body immediately stiffened.
Mingshu looked at Niu Tianlan coldly, "Take it away!"
·
Criminal Investigation Bureau, Serious Cases Unit.
Niu Tianlan shrank on the interrogation chair, his shoulders were raised high, his head was lowered, and his thin lips were pressed tightly.
Mingshu put the photos of Wen Xi, Tang Qian, and Meng Shan on the table in turn, "raise your head."
Niu Tianlan didn't look up, just looked at Mingshu from his forehead.
"Do you know them?" Mingshu said, "Do you remember their faces?"
Niu Tianlan bit his lip and shook his head slowly like a machine in disrepair, "I don't know."
"I don't know?" Mingshu said, "Then do you know where I found these photos?"
Niu Tianlan continued to bite his lips, and there was a stench of blood in the almost frozen air.
He actually bit his lip.
Mingshu stared at those sinful eyes and said, "On your computer at home, on the computer you use the name 'Lanlan' to broadcast live!"
Niu Tianlan loosened his lips and said after a few seconds, "I just, just patted them."
Fang Yuanhang shouted: "Then kill them!"
"I didn't." Niu Tianlan shook his head dumbly, "Why should I kill them?"
"October 26 this year, where are you?" Mingshu said, "Don't tell me you are at work, I have obtained the work records of the funeral home, and you will take a break that day."
Niu Tianlan said, "I'm sleeping at home."
"Then how to explain this video?" Mingshu tapped a few times on the tablet.
In the hall of the only tourist passenger station in Fengsheng Town, Niu Tianlan is walking out of the side door.
Niu Tianlan didn't respond much, "Oh."
"At noon on the 26th, you took the passenger bus to Fengsheng Town. At night, on the wasteland behind Zhou Changyou's house, you killed Tang Qian." Mingshu said, "Her body was buried on the spot by you."
Niu Tianlan lowered his head again and did not speak for 5 minutes.
Just when Fang Yuanhang thought he was going to ask, "Do you have any evidence?", he stuck out his tongue, licked the blood from his lower lip, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips, revealing a sinister smile, "Yes, I killed them. "
After saying these words, Niu Tianlan's head was raised high, and there was a look of disdain and contempt in his eyes.
It seems to be saying: I have already killed more than one person, you have only caught me now, and I will at most have one life, and I have killed far more than one person, and I have earned it.
Fang Yuanhang took a deep breath in anger.
"Why did you kill them?" Mingshu asked, "They have no enmity with you."
Niu Tianlanlu pouted, "If you want to kill, just kill. Why are there so many?"
Fang Yuanhang said, "You!"
Mingshu raised his hand to block Fang Yuanhang, "Besides the three of them, who else did you kill?"
"You can't find it, right?" Niu Tianlan said, "Then think I only killed them."
"Tell me well..."
"If you explain it well, you won't have to die?" Niu Tianlan shook his head indifferently, "You don't need to coax me, I don't understand the law at all. Like me, as long as I get caught, I will die in the end. It's no use any more. Check it out for yourself."
"Do you really think I don't know why you murdered?" Mingshu said, "Just to confirm with you. Niu Tianlan, are you dissatisfied with your own lips?"
Niu Tianlan immediately became tense, and his scattered eyes regained focus.
"You killed the three Meng Shan because they had the lips you dreamed of. You smashed their skulls with a cremation tool hammer and cut off their lips." Mingshu said: "And then eat them. You think so, You can make your lips as beautiful as theirs."
Niu Tianlan's mouth was half open, and it took a long time to utter a few vague syllables.
"I'm right? Then I'll continue." Mingshu said, "Although you are good at dressing yourself up as women, you despise women in your heart, thinking that they are inferior to men and are like animals. So you are killing Meng Shan and After Tang Qian, you put dog feathers and duck feathers in their mouths. What you want to express is that, like dogs and ducks, they are only worthy of your meal."
Niu Tianlan's thin lips began to tremble, "You, you..."
Mingshu looked down and stared at Niu Tianlan's lips, "Am I right? Your lips are the source of your inferiority complex."
"I'm not inferior!" Niu Tianlan tapped the table hard, "I've never been inferior! She lost to me a long time ago, why should I be inferior!"
Mingshu asked, "Who is TA?"
Under the bright light, the sudden tightening of Niu Tianlan's pupils was very obvious.
"Is TA a woman?" Mingshu said, "The series of crimes you are committing now are all because of her?"
Niu Tianlan lowered his head at an extremely slow speed, and finally fell on the interrogation table, unwilling to speak again.
Mingshu saw that his shoulders were twitching slightly.
Fang Yuanhang said, "Master?"
Mingshu got up and walked towards the door, "Stare, continue the trial. Evidence is more important than a confession, but a confession is better than no confession."
"Yes."
·
The serious crime team is acting fast, the trial is still going on, and Niu Tianlan's family background has been basically clarified.
Niu Tianlan, 26 years old, a native of Dongye City, the house he currently lives in is the inheritance left by his parents.
The Niu family came from an ordinary family. Niu Tianlan's father, Niu Jiang, and his mother, Zhao Lin, were both health workers at a nearby hospital. Niu Tianlan has a twin sister named Niu Lanlan. Judging from the photos when they were young, both of them are cute-looking children.
For an average family, raising two children is a big burden. Niu Tianlan's peers are basically only children. He has an older sister because Zhao Lin was pregnant with a twin and there was nothing he could do.
When Niu Tianlan and Niu Lanlan were 17 years old, Niu Jiang and Zhao Lin participated in a team building activity organized by the unit. On the way back, there was a car accident. The bus fell off the cliff and 19 people died on the spot, including Niu Jiang and Zhao Lin. .
The following year, the sister and brother took the college entrance examination, both of them were named on the gold list, and they were admitted to the two universities in the neighboring province of Han province.
It was Niu Jiang and Zhao Lin's car accident compensation that paid for their four years of college.
After graduation, Niu Tianlan and Niu Lanlan did not work immediately, but soon after, Niu Tianlan entered the "West Moon" funeral home to work, while Niu Lanlan never worked.
Two years ago, when the siblings were 24 years old, Niu Lanlan's body was found in Anmin County, Han Province. She died in a cheap hostel, and a 26-year-old man named "Zhao Wen" died with her.
According to local police investigations, they committed suicide by cutting their wrists. The suicide note on the bed shows that they are a couple, feeling that death is the destination of life, so they committed suicide by embracing each other in this beautiful town.
There is nothing suspicious about the case. The chat records and consumption flow of the two prove that this is a suicide.
Zhao Wen is the only son in the family, from Luocheng, Han province. His body was taken away by his parents and cremated. And it was Niu Tianlan who went to the town to pick up Niu Lanlan.
Niu Lanlan's body was cremated at the "West Moon" funeral home, and the cremator was Niu Tianlan.
After Niu Lanlan died, Niu Tianlan became a loner.
At present, Niu Tianlan's communication records and Internet records have been laid out in front of the criminal police of the serious crime team. This evil murderer spent 2 years living himself into Niu Lanlan. He dressed himself in the style of Niu Lanlan, created an anchor account on the "Crazy Cat" live broadcast platform under the name of Niu Lanlan, enjoyed the fans calling him "Lan Lan", and told the people in the bar that his name was "Lan Lan" …
But he did this not because of his nostalgia for Niu Lanlan, but because of his hatred.
On Niu Tianlan's pink notebook, the first half of it was written what should be said to fans during the live broadcast, makeup tips, and cute patterns were drawn. Every page showed a positive attitude towards life. But in the second half, there are countless "go to death" written.
He wrote so hard that the tip of the pen pierced many pages.
His sister's name was painted with forks after another. The three characters "Niu Lanlan" were written extremely ugly, soaked with the hatred of the writers, while the two characters "Zhao Wen" were neat and neat, and the handling of the strokes was very important. You can see the mood of the writer at that time.
Niu Lanlan is Niu Tianlan's twin sister, and Niu Tianlan hates her so much.
Zhao Wen was just a "quasi-brother-in-law" to Niu Tianlan, but he was so cherished by Niu Tianlan.
"A dog-blood love triangle." Mingshu said, "Zhao Wen and Niu Tianlan are both studying at Xicheng University of Technology in Han Province. They have the same major in the same college. Zhao Wen is one level older than Niu Tianlan, and both are members of the college's student union. While Niu Lanlan is studying at Xicheng University for Nationalities, she should know Zhao Wen through Niu Tianlan."
Fang Yuanhang stared at Zhao Wen's photos before his death, "Zhao Wen is a talented person. He is both Niu Tianlan's senior and Niu Tianlan's superior in the student council. Niu Tianlan is gay, so it is not surprising that he is attracted to Zhao Wen. But Zhao Wen is a straight man. , of course it is impossible to accept Niu Tianlan, but at first sight he falls in love with Niu Lanlan who looks similar to Niu Tianlan? Damn me, is it so bloody?"
Mingshu folded his arms and leaned against the edge of the table, "Niu Tianlan has admitted that the urn at his house contains Niu Lanlan's ashes. He hates Niu Lanlan, but he keeps Niu Lanlan's ashes at home. What is the reason for doing this?"
Yi Fei said: "That room is very strange. The iron fence blocks the windows, and the walls are covered in blood. The test results have come out. It's Niu Tianlan's own blood."
Mingshu was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Niu Tianlan may be performing some kind of ritual at home. Also, Niu Lanlan and Zhao Wen committed suicide two years ago, maybe it wasn't that simple."
