The temperature today has dropped below zero, and I'm shivering when I walk outside.
Jian Jing wrapped herself in a down jacket, wore snow boots, and did not forget to wear a woolen hat. She lay in the back seat and looked out the window.
Liang Yi's cheeks were red from the cold, but she was energetic: "Should we look for that gardening company first?"
There are several factories within the area, one of which is a gardening factory that sells potted plants. Flowers, plants and trees collected from the countryside are rested and potted here before being transported to shops in the city center for sale.
Since the composition of farmland soil was detected in the clothes, we will conduct the investigation based on this.
The factory is located in a remote area, and two workers are busy in the greenhouse.
Ji Feng and Liang Yi took Director Zhu's photo and asked them for information. Jian Jing took the knight and asked him to smell the clothes and stroll around.
The knights are still not very proficient in their business.
After all, half a month ago, his duty was to guard the gate, but now he has suddenly changed and acted as a tracking dog, which is only a temporary learning.
Fortunately, because I was afraid of the master (?), I didn't dare to be naughty and followed the smell honestly. However, it rained recently, and the smell was very weak, and it was carried by the water, making me dizzy and confused.
Seeing that he was walking around in circles, Jian Jing knew that he was in trouble, so she didn't make things difficult for the poor little guy: "Go back and have some snacks and yogurt."
The knight came back to life immediately.
Jian Jing raised her head and looked around, sorting out the whole story of the case in her mind: Gong Lu died on the night of November 27. In order to cover up his own murder, Zhu Guoliang decided to create a serial murder case and make his wife one of the victims to reduce his own suspicion.
He imitated the murderers in movies and TV shows and chose women with long wavy hair as his targets.
In order to avoid a detailed investigation of the first case, he had to kill the second victim as quickly as possible, confusing the time of death of the two people and reversing the order.
Coincidentally, the temperature dropped and ice formed on November 27, causing high-voltage power lines to be disconnected, resulting in a large-scale power outage in the area.
He picked up the second victim (the first body) outside the bar, took his wife's body away, and killed the second victim somewhere.
This place must be hidden and not easily discovered.
Farmland soil, cigarette ash... Why do these things remain on clothes
Jian Jing strolled back and happened to see a truck loaded with potted plants preparing to leave. The truck body was shaking, and from time to time, some uncleaned soil was shaken off and fell all over the street.
The driver was a heavy smoker. He opened the car window and occasionally reached out to flick his cigarette butts. Fine pieces of ashes fell along the route.
Jian Jing: Hey!
She quickly took the knight's hand and chased the car.
The car passed through three intersections in total, then turned left and went directly onto the main road.
Every time Jian Jing reached an intersection, she would stop and ask the rider to sniff back and forth in several directions. Since the dirt was on their clothes, it was probably on the soles of their shoes rather than the tires, so the place must be nearby.
Sure enough, when he reached the second intersection, the knight seemed to smell the scent again and went into the abandoned factory next to it.
It should be here.
"Stop." Jian Jing called out to him to avoid disrupting the scene.
The knight immediately crouched down and stood still.
Jian Jing touched his head, tied the leash to the railing on the side of the road, and handed him a bag of snacks. The knight grabbed the bag with his front paws, tore a hole in it, and ate the biscuits with relish.
She activated the olfactory card and went in to check on her own.
There was insufficient lighting and a lot of dust inside. Large areas of the room were empty, except for one office, where the dust was unevenly distributed at the door.
Wearing gloves, I opened the door and found that all the furniture inside had been moved out and the dust was uneven.
There is a very obvious dent on the left wall, as if the wall paint has been scraped off by a blade or something, which is very obvious.
Jian Jing squatted down and took a closer look. The marks of hair loss were very recent, and they must have been made recently.
Could it be that something was left behind before and was discovered and destroyed by the murderer
"Jian Jing?" Liang Yi's voice came from a distance, "Are you there?"
"Yes." She replied, "There is something here."
Liang Yi and Ji Feng came one after the other, and after taking a look at the situation on the scene, they said, "It should be here."
"We just asked the workers, and they said that a few sheets of plastic film were stolen recently." Liang Yi couldn't keep it to himself, and immediately revealed the new information, "Is it laid here, so there are no footprints?"
Jian Jing nodded, but couldn't help but feel regretful: "It seems that there were some clues left here, but it's a pity that they were destroyed."
"What?!" Liang Yi was furious. He tiptoed closer and took a look, wishing he could beat the murderer up immediately.
Ji Feng called out to them: "The callers are here, please come out and don't disrupt the scene."
The two of them tiptoed out and stood at the door to ask for food.
"If the plastic film is laid, it will be hard to find the footprints, even the hair." Liang Yi is bald, "This guy's anti-reconnaissance awareness is really good."
Ji Feng had a good attitude: "Not really. It's dark and I don't believe he will wash it like a car. Let's wait and see."
Soon, the trace detection technicians arrived, entered the scene fully armed, and began searching for clues.
They were fully equipped and used multi-band lighting to capture a small half shoe print, which was probably left accidentally by stepping on the edge of the plastic film.
Two more false eyelashes were found in the corner, and a few fingernail marks were found in an inconspicuous corner.
"This is a bit strange." The trace inspector took a photo and showed it to them. "Look at the height. It's just lying prone."
Several heads came over and saw some strange-shaped scratches from fingernails.
However, the imprints were different from ordinary codes. They were not numbers or letters, but were shaped like tree branches with folds and several circles, four groups in total.
It's called graffiti, but it seems to contain a pattern that makes me suspicious. It can also be called a code, but I've never seen anything like it.
Liang Yi immediately felt overwhelmed: "Is this a dancing fairy? There are only four of them, and there is no way to decipher it."
Ji Feng: "The traces are fresh, it doesn't look like it was drawn casually."
Captain Wang also took a look and sighed, "Did you watch too much Zodiac?"
Jian Jing paused, her expression subtle.
Ji Feng saw it and asked directly: "Do you know where it came from?"
"Ahem." She cleared her throat. "This is the Rose Code, from... uh, the book I wrote."
The others were all stunned, not knowing whether to be surprised or shocked: "Is this true?"
Jian Jing: “…”
It turns out that the criminal investigators in the country don't even read the mystery novels she wrote? Is her level that bad? I thought "Rose Gold" was very popular.
She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed: "Really."
Captain Wang asked, "How do we solve this?"
"It's simple. There's a password table. It's divided into three sections from the middle to the outside." Jian Jing demonstrated it to them casually, "Three groups of eight letters, and the remaining two are at the beginning and the end."
The resulting table is as follows:
... ..y... .
smga丨bhnt
uoic丨djpv
wqke丨flrx
... ..z... .
"The tree trunk is the dividing line, the crease represents the order, and the circle represents the order of spelling." Jian Jing decoded it easily, "The code she left behind is 'jiezhiyongchi'."
"Amputee pool?"
"Medium pool?"
Liang Yi suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Ring! Ring swimming pool!"
"The ring is in the swimming pool..." Jian Jing was puzzled, "He used a stand or an inflatable swimming pool!" She tried hard to recall Director Zhu's appearance. He did have a ring on his ring finger, but... it was new.
When men wear rings, they are usually wedding rings. There is no reason for them to be so new.
Captain Wang ordered: "Search Zhu Guoliang's home to see if there is anything related to the swimming pool."
"yes."
Once the state machinery is mobilized, the speed is terrifying.
Two hours later, the police found an old inflatable swimming pool in Zhu Guoliang's garage. It looked quite old, but it was very clean, and you could still feel the wet water inside.
After opening the inflation valve to inflate, something inside shook with the movement.
When I poured it out, I saw it was an old wedding ring.
The ring is wrapped around several brown hairs with intact follicles.
And this is the death message left by the third deceased.
Zhu Guoliang could not explain why the deceased's hair was hidden in an old swimming pool along with his ring.
He had no choice but to plead guilty and admit that he had killed four people including Wan Yuan.
The first one was his wife Gong Lu. That day, he had a big fight with his wife and pushed her in anger. She hit her forehead on the floor and fainted accidentally.
Suddenly, he was so angry that he threw her into the bathtub to "wake her up" and locked the bathroom door.
At that time, the water in the bathtub had cooled down, and his wife was only wearing thin pajamas, so she died of hypothermia in a coma. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he found that his wife was dead.
He was scared at first, then happy, thinking that he could get rid of this bad-tempered woman and a better life would be just around the corner. But there was a problem: how to deal with the police.
Afterwards, he, who often watched American TV series, had an idea.
If only his wife died, he would definitely be the primary suspect, but what if another person died? If he fabricated a perverted killer who just "happened" to choose his wife, would he be safe
Zhu Guoliang had no ability to be an official, but he had some talent for committing crimes. It only took him two or three hours to finalize the plan.
By chance, the air there had cooled down and frozen, causing the circuit to break. The officer on duty sent him a message, which was supposed to tell him what he had to do on that shift, but it made him think, so he pulled out a map and selected a suitable murder location.
He wore a hat and a mask, parked the car far away, picked out a person who looked like his wife near the bar, dragged her into the car, and randomly found an abandoned factory within the power outage area.
They took out the inflatable swimming pool they had bought for home, poured two buckets of water into it, stripped off my clothes, tied my hands and feet and threw me in, freezing me to death.
The girl was still drunk, so she left.
Zhu Guoliang first disfigured her and dumped her body outdoors. Then, noticing that she was wearing beautiful clothes and had obvious discotheque characteristics, he was afraid that people would guess the location, so he bought a set of shoddy clothes from a street shop and changed into them before abandoning the body on the street.
He hid his wife's body in the snow, and waited until the snow melted the next day before dumping it in a demolition area where there was no surveillance.
In this way, the order of the two cases was reversed, and even if his identity was discovered, he would not be suspected.
But after two days, Zhu Guoliang was uneasy again.
If the police found out that the "perverted killer" stopped after his wife died, it would undoubtedly cause more trouble for himself. So he decided to go all out and find a scapegoat.
However, his wife Gong Lu was knocked unconscious, and the bar girl was drunk and had not woken up. The third woman was a designer who worked overtime. She got off work in the early hours of the morning but it was just because the client was making trouble. She was still sober.
Although he was injected with anesthetic by Zhu Guoliang, he woke up while shivering from the cold.
Her hands and feet were sore and she cried for help, but Zhu Guoliang, who was guarding outside, noticed her and covered her mouth tightly.
While struggling, she pulled the ring off Zhu Guoliang's wrist, held it in her palm, and pretended to be unconscious.
Zhu Guoliang didn't expect her to wake up. He was startled and frightened, so he didn't notice it for a while. When he realized he had lost the ring, he looked for it but couldn't find it.
He didn't know that the girl opened the inflation valve, let the air out, pulled out her hair and wrapped it around the ring, threw it into the inner layer, and wrote the password in the corner as a hint.
But after she finished, she was afraid that she would be discovered if she was so obvious, so she forced herself to hold on to her stiff and cold body, pierced her finger, and wrote a few bloody words on the wall to cover herself up.
Sure enough, Zhu Guoliang saw that the swimming pool was leaking and water was flowing all over the floor. He wanted to clean it up, but when he saw the bloody words smeared on the wall, he didn't bother to check it carefully and quickly scraped off the wall.
At this moment, the girl, who was soaked all over and exposed to the low temperature, finally couldn't hold on and died.
Zhu Guoliang breathed a sigh of relief and destroyed her face in the same way. He waited for a while, and after receiving the news of power outage, he hurriedly abandoned the body.
Up to this point, he had committed three crimes in total. He felt that he had done nothing wrong and was about to stop. However, the man passed by the 2077 Bar and saw Wan Yuan. He thought that Wan Yuan looked very much like his wife and was frightened out of his wits.
Once you do evil, you can't stop.
Zhu Guoliang was frightened and knew that he could not be Gong Lu, but he still tricked the drunk man into his car, dragged him to a secret base and killed him.
When he was about to die, he suddenly felt weak.
Damn it, he's actually a man!
