Chapter 171: Important clues to connect thoughts! 'Catch!'

Chapter 171: Important clues to connect thoughts! 'Catch!'

There is a wise saying in criminal investigation, 'Every action leaves a trace!'

Many people always think that if some traces are removed artificially, no one will know about it, or if they are done secretly, no clues will be left.

But in fact, this sentence has already limited all cases.

This is true even for the current case!
Let me give you an example.

Luminol reagent reacts with components in the blood to emit a light blue light, which can clearly show the components of the blood. The police can use these fluorescent lights to determine the blood splatter and thus think about the murder weapon, as well as the process of the fight to obtain clues.

But there is a problem. Luminol can only react once.

If you kill someone and use luminol to clean it, the blood will not react and the fluorescence will naturally not be visible, let alone any clues.

But
'Every action leaves a trace!'

Have you ever wondered how many people know that luminol can be used to clean up crime scenes?
How many people know how to mix this kind of reagent?
What about the raw materials? What about the mixing instruments? Or should we buy the reagents directly?

Don’t wait until your purchase record is posted on your face before you get scared!
When the police saw that there was a fight at the murder scene but no blood, they could directly identify this thing or something like detergent. With the speed of the Internet in the previous life, they could have completely exposed the surrounding people within a few hours.
This is one way of showing 'traces'.

You cleaned up the traces at the crime scene, but the traces did not completely disappear. Instead, they were transformed into other places in another form.

"The same is true for Wang Chao."

"The murderer cut off some clues in the investigation of the case. This clue is very fatal and can lead directly to the final node of the case."

"On the surface, the case has reached an absolute stalemate once the clue chain is broken, but in fact, this itself is a clue."

"The clues indirectly verify the previous thinking and provide a basis for the theory."

“And right now, we just need to build on this.”

Xu Hao's voice sounded slowly.

At this time, he was standing at the door of a hospital, looking at the hospital in front of him which was quiet but busy, and exuded a smell of disinfectant.

"Add a few special filtering tags to it, and you can determine the other party's identity information!"

The traces are often mutual.

Just like, when you take a step forward, a footprint is left behind.

Whatever the deceased had done to the murderer, or whatever those people who had cooperated with the deceased had done, there must be visible traces on their bodies!
As for what cannot be seen, it is only the spirit.

Mental torture can completely destroy a person, but mental torture is never the first choice of such buyers.

why?
Because spirit will only make the soul weak and cause the body to weaken.

Regardless of whether it is a black kiln factory, human drug experiments, or even the so-called elixir of life.

These are things that need to be based on the body, and there is no way to specifically torture the mind.

Therefore, the buyer's influence on the murderer
It can only be physical, that is, beating!
Think of this.

Without saying anything more, he quickened his pace and walked quickly towards somewhere in the hospital.

It's getting late now, it's already ten o'clock in the evening, and they have to hurry to rest.

Criminal investigators still have to make sure they get enough rest. Unless they have the same physique as Xu Hao, otherwise the disadvantages will outweigh the advantages.

“Room 404”

The two searched everywhere in the hospital building and finally stopped in front of a ward.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

There was a knock on the door, and the next second, the door of the ward in front of him was pushed open.

"Who? Brother Hao?"

When Wang Chao opened the door, he thought it was a doctor, but unexpectedly he saw a familiar face.

He was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on his face and emotion was hidden in his eyes.

"Brother, are you here to visit me? Actually, I am injured."

"Well, I'm glad the injury isn't serious."

Xu Hao waved his hand, dispelling the other party's emotion.

"Tell me everything you saw about the murderer that night."

In the end, I lost the case.
Wang Chao muttered to himself, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"I didn't see much, and I said pretty much what I said when I was in the office."

"about there?"

Xu Hao frowned. Although the other party had said a lot in the office, it was not the same as what he wanted now.
He pondered for a moment and said:

"During the thunderstorm, did you see any injuries on the other person's body?"

Wang Chao thought about it and then shook his head.

"No, so far I've only seen animals around him and the monkey trainer."

"But the monkey trainer had his back to me, so I couldn't see his body clearly."

Back to
It’s difficult.

“Does your body have any slope when you walk?”

Xu Huo asked again.

"There was a bit of wobbling, but not much, and I'm not sure if it was from the slope or just normal walking."

"Did the monkey see any clear traces?"

"Monkeys. I can't tell anything. Apart from the fact that they have spirituality, I can't tell that they are any different from other monkeys."

Wang Chao shook his head again.

Can't see clearly.
As long as the person behind the deceased inflicts his own torture on the murderer, the murderer will inevitably have corresponding scars on his body.

but.
I just can't see clearly.

The night in early January was frighteningly dark and rainy, with the only moonlight obscured by dark clouds.

Only when one or two flashes of lightning appear for a moment can you take a quick look at the other person through the paleness.

"What about the other animals?"

Xu Hao thought for a moment and frowned.

The murderer brought a lot of animals, and the animals were very obedient, as if he had a zoo with him.

"Looks like... a little hurt?"

Wang Chao spoke suspiciously, thought for a moment, and shook his head, "It's really too far away, people can't see clearly, let alone these things."

"Besides the monkey trainer, is there anyone else?"

"Yes, there are a few blurry shadows, but they are hidden on the side of the team. I can't see them. I can only see a human figure."

Wang Chao shook his head.

Can't see
Human experiments?

Xu Hao pondered for a moment, and similar images emerged in his mind.

"Do you have any children?"

"No."

"Tsk, it's broken."

Xu Hao took a deep breath and frowned.

Is it better to have children or not?

Of course there is.

If so, at least you can see that the other person is still alive!

If not
Either you can't escape, or there is no longer any need to escape.

The former is easier to deal with, as they are more or less still alive, but the latter is most likely dead.

"Can you command animals?"

Xu Hao felt a little headache. He hated people who seemed to have special abilities the most.

Completely different from conventional investigations, cases always present themselves in unexpected ways.

for example.

Like an accident maker.

That's what they do in the movies, where they use their brain to calculate the probability of an accident happening, and then create an accident for you.

Such as brake failure or a power leak in the home causing a fire.

Once it happens, how does the police investigate?
If nothing can be found, most of the time it will just be judged as a normal accident and the case will be hastily closed.

"What about anesthesia? Did the hospital find anything?"

After failing to think of anything for a long while, Xu Hao looked up at the hospital around him.

They started waiting for the test report around noon, but unfortunately it has not come yet.

“Nothing was found.”

Wang Chao shook his head. "The doctor said that the drug he used was probably a self-made drug. It has a low efficacy and is metabolized quickly. When he went to the hospital for examination, its ingredients could no longer be detected."

After a whole night of metabolism, even if it was a normal anesthetic, he might have woken up by now.

Don't even think about configuring it yourself.

Maybe it had been metabolized in the second half of the night and Wang Chao was just sleeping.

"Tsk."

Xu Hao shook his head and then looked at Wang Chao in front of him.

"Then you should rest first. If you feel any abnormality later, remember to contact the doctor in time."

"okay."

Wang Chao nodded.

After saying that, Xu Hao turned and left, but he didn't walk very far.

He pushed open the door of the ward, took two steps, and then sat on a public chair to rest.

Things about the case kept turning over and over in my mind, as if countless little people were arguing in my mind, making a lot of noise.

Xu Hao rubbed his eyebrows and felt annoyed.

"Squeak~"

Li Jianye sat down beside him, and the iron chair suddenly made a creaking sound.

"Monkey trainer."

"Based on the time when Zhao Shan and others disappeared, this group of people should have been in Jiangsan City for about a month."

"Director Chu is using those low-level methods to investigate, and it is highly likely that he will not find anything."

"The files are still being checked, but be prepared."

Li Jianye wanted to smoke a cigarette, but when he saw that there were doctors and patients all around him, he paused for a moment and put the cigarette back into the box.

He smacked his lips and added:

"There are too many files, and it is impossible to check them in a short time."

"Unless a lot of time is given, I can't guarantee where the murderer will be by then."

The police have too many files on human trafficking.

Especially during that period twenty years ago, the number of cases investigated at one time was staggering.

In addition, these cases are only handled by arrests but not investigations, so it is impossible to determine the information of the abducted persons, and nothing can be found out in such a vague manner.

"No, I'm not worried about that. Sima Kong's identity has proved my previous guess."

"And in their speculation, these people must be very cautious. It is normal that they cannot find anything in the file."

Xu Hao shook his head and didn't care about it.

What he cares about is.
"How exactly was the murderer tortured?"

“That’s all I care about!”

Li Jianye paused, and then fell silent.

As long as we find out this, we will be close to solving the case.

why?
Why can we solve the case by looking at the wounds on the murderer’s body?
Let’s not talk about anything else.

Simply knowing the scars and injuries on the other person's body is enough for the police to post a wanted notice and then conduct a sweeping search to capture the person!
Second
"Also, we can use this as a basis for our speculation."

Xu Hao closed his eyes and kept thinking in his brain.

He attached great importance to this information because it could indeed reveal something!
"Based on this, we can find at least two clues!"

This thing can also analyze two other points.

1. The person behind the deceased and the purpose of torturing the murderer.

For example, when testing drugs, the body will inevitably show some adverse drug reaction, and the police can use this clue to reversely infer that the other party is related to the drug.

After that, they searched for Sima Kong again, and based on the clues he found during his lifetime and the medicines, they tracked him down.

Second, the murderer’s current condition and current living environment!
What does it mean?
First of all, we need to understand one point.

Is your personal life changed by the environment, or is it you who change the environment?

There are examples of individuals changing their environment, but such individuals are all at the apex of the Blue Star.

It’s not that grassroots personnel do not have the ability to change their personal environment. Rather, those who have the ability will step up to the top and move away from the grassroots.

"Adding these two clues together, we can conclude that the personal needs of the person behind the death acted on the murderer."

"And the personal needs used on the murderer will show corresponding scars."

"For the murderer, these corresponding scars will directly affect his living environment."

Xu Hao explained slowly.

This is a chain relationship.

What the people behind the scenes did to the murderer was definitely not just a slap in the face.

The body will definitely have conditions like being lame, or even missing limbs.

Can people live a normal life in this state?

No, so this is what is called "environment affects individuals".

If the person has no lower body, the police can use this to search for the person's whereabouts.

It can be said that everything was shown on the murderer's face, but Wang Chao did not see it.

If they can solve the mystery, they can conduct two investigations simultaneously, investigating the source and the murderer at the same time.

Say it.

Li Jianye paused. He now understood why this line was so important.

Just superficial scars.
It can determine the specific direction of the case!
“Go and have a look at the scene.”

After a long while, neither of them had any clue. Then Xu Hao stood up, took a deep breath, and walked out.

Li Jianye nodded.

It's late now, but if we squeeze in...
You can still go to the crime scene and take a look.

The two of them set off as soon as they said they would, got in the car, and drove all the way to their destination.

Fortunately, in order to get to the hospital quickly from the scene, Wang Chao chose a hospital that was not far from the scene, so they arrived quickly.

The scene is the way forward.

At this time, the five bodies had long disappeared, having been sorted out and taken away by the police. There were several police cars parked around, and black and yellow cordoned off.

The police also set up a shed with a glaring light hanging from it.

Unfortunately.

Although the light was dazzling, it could not reveal any useful clues. There were only a few drops of blood on the ground, and nothing else.

footprint?

There were footprints, but very few.

"How's the on-site investigation going?" Li Jianye took out the cigarette from his mouth, looked at the policeman in front of him and asked.

The drowsy policeman was startled when he heard the voice, then stood up and spoke.

"No new leads."

"Just like what Mr. Wang said, the other party was at the scene for a very short time and could not leave anything useful behind."

Still no new clues.
Li Jianye paused, looked back at the asphalt road, and then sighed.

Asking them to find clues is too much to ask. In this kind of place, and with the behavior Wang Chao saw, there is no way to create any useful traces.
Even if there is, it will be destroyed by a rain.

Although it was a light rain that night, the power of the rain should not be underestimated!

Xu Hao squatted down and searched for a while.

After a while, he looked up and looked towards the end of the road.

"Did you check the end of the road, where the murderer disappeared?"

"Nothing has been found. There are no cameras there, and no witnesses. The police don't know where he went for the time being."

The police inspector in charge of the scene spoke up in response.

Xu Hao pondered for a moment and then turned his gaze to another place.

That is, the opposite of the end, the other party leads the people back the same way.

"Where is the source?"

"It's even harder to find out. The police dogs are useless. There are no cameras, and there are not many witnesses. We can't tell where the other party came from."

The inspector sighed again. They had no way of finding out the source or the end.
But it's not a big problem.

"Snapped!"

Xu Hao sat down in the car.

"Where are you going?"

Li Jianye frowned.

"Try your luck and find out where the other party came from."

Xu Hao spoke up.

"It's getting late. It's almost eleven o'clock now. We can't delay tomorrow's search."

Li Jianye glanced at his watch and was about to say something.

The next second, Xu Hao's words rang out.

"Captain Li, have you discovered something?"

Found something?

"What's the matter?" Li Jianye paused, a puzzled look on his face.

"Where are the family members of the deceased?"

Xu Huo suddenly spoke.

Zhao Shan is the principal of the school, but he never shows up. He has been gone for so long that Sun Yuhui is too lazy to care about him. After all, his salary is not paid by him.

Su Shan is a female volunteer teacher
Not to mention that the local villagers had long suspected her, it was no surprise that she had disappeared and set off firecrackers.

Just the location of the female volunteer teachers will often result in this situation where you can't find them.

Either the volunteer teacher couldn't stand it and ran away, or the poor and bad mountains and rivers produced unruly people and did something.
There are also Sima Kong and Chen Jin. It is normal that people around them did not call the police after they disappeared.

But it is impossible for the family members not to call the police!
Therefore, Xu Hao guessed from the beginning that they might also be held hostage by the murderer.

Subsequent discoveries also confirmed this. The family members could not contact or find the other person.

Therefore, there is a 95% probability that the other party was taken away by the murderer!

Yes, from the initial reasoning to this point, there is no problem, but the problem is
"Where are the family members?"

Xu Huo suddenly asked.

"The family members are not with the murderer."

Li Jianye spoke subconsciously, but as he was speaking, he suddenly stopped, and then his eyes were filled with astonishment.

"The family members are not with the murderer now!"

The family members are gone.
In other words, the other person is not with the murderer now!

Where did you see it?

Wang Chao!

The other party had indeed seen the crime scene, and although his words were vague, from the certainty of "there were no children", it can be seen that the murderer did not have his family with him at the time of the crime.

They probably stayed in the 'old nest'.

Well, that makes sense.

But the problem is.
"The crime happened in the early morning hours, after the murderer had set up the crime scene."

"They came from the west and went east, and they didn't turn back."

Xu Hao spoke slowly.

"Are they going to go back in a circle?"

"Based on the established facts in reality, there is no such option."

why?
Because of time!

Around four or five in the morning, the breakfast shops on the main roads start working.

The murderer finished cleaning the scene around one or two in the morning.

The opponent's legs were a little lopsided. If he went back in a circle, it would definitely attract the attention of road traffic personnel!
Orangutans and monkeys are very common in the kingdom of lizards and monkeys.

But it is not common in Eastern cities!

Once it appears, it will definitely cause a stir in a short period of time.

The police should have received the news, but in the end they had no news.

Through this point, we can make a reverse judgment that the other party did not take a detour back!
If there is no detour
Where are the family members?
When the other party left, they did not take the deceased's family with them, nor did they take a detour back, so it can only be.
"Still in the lair!?"

Li Jianye's face showed astonishment.

The next second, he didn't care about resting anymore.

He got into the car directly, sat in the driver's seat, turned on the high beam, and called on the intercom at the same time.

"Zhao Shui, arrange a squadron to search westward from the crime scene to find the place where the murderer came from!"

After a moment, a voice came from the intercom.

"received."

Upon hearing this, Li Jianye immediately got in the car and drove west from the scene.

If the family members are not taken away, there are only two situations.

One, alive, while the other was left in the lair to die.

two.
died.

At present, the probability of two is there, but it is actually not very high. After all, the other party has kept all five dead people until now.

However, a low probability does not mean that there is no probability at all!
If what the people behind the scenes did to the murderer was really as Xu Hao guessed.
The hatred of the other party is enough to support them in killing a bunch of people!

Well, it’s normal to involve innocent people.

Of course, the family members of the deceased may not be innocent. They eat the money from selling people and enjoy the fertile bed forged of bones and blood, just like a vampire. They are not innocent at all.

And it is precisely because they are not innocent.

So, the murderer took action
There won’t be any scruples!
The Dong people believe in killing people completely at their root. If they don't torture the person, the person will probably die immediately.

But even if you're really alive
I guess it’s not comfortable.

"Search and see if there are any abandoned places suitable for multiple people to live in."

A car was speeding on the road. Xu Hao was inside the car, talking and looking out the window.

It's almost early morning now.

The road was dark, and these days the street lights in remote areas were cut off on time at night.

The whole world was oppressed by darkness. The residents went to sleep and there were no lights in the houses except for a few hotels which occasionally left their doors lit.

“It’s not easy.”

“The west side is the foot of a mountain, which was previously planned for land development and is currently under construction.”

"There are many buildings that have not been renovated yet, and they look like abandoned unfinished buildings."

Li Jianye recalled the plans for Jiangsan City in his mind.

"As the year draws to a close, many construction sites have already started planning for the annual holiday."

"Most of the workers even went back home, leaving only a few people to carry out the most basic development."

"There are not enough people on the construction site. If some people really sneak in, it will be difficult to detect them."

Hearing this, Xu Hao's heart sank.

The information came too late.

Only an hour or two had passed since the identity of the deceased was confirmed, the family members disappeared, and Sima Kong confirmed his previous speculation.

If the speed is faster.
This line of thinking could be thought of in advance, so that there would be more time to search for the other party.

"Squeak~!"

In a trance, a harsh brake sound was heard and the car shook.

The two men unbuckled their safety belts and walked directly into the construction site.

The construction site management at night is very poor.

Basically anyone can sneak in, so some thieves would go to the construction site to steal things and sell them.

Of course, those who develop land these days usually have some connection with the underworld, and it won’t take long before the other party is made to spit out what they have eaten.

Therefore, thieves rarely come here, and even if they want to come, they will be restrained by the boss.

"Do you sweep each floor one by one?"

Li Jianye was in a dilemma, with a look of astonishment on his face. It was very difficult to deal with.

Xu Hao sniffed.

【Sniff love! 】

Instantly, countless smells were inhaled into his lungs, and he distinguished these smells.
After a moment, Xu Hao paused.

A familiar smell is caught by the nose. This is
The scene has ever smelled!

Really here! ?
Xu Hao's pupils shrank. The next second, he identified the direction and took Li Jianye to a building.

"They are here?" Li Jianye paused and moved his hand to the pistol at his waist.

"perhaps."

Xu Hao stepped onto the stairs and was about to say something, but...
The smell disappeared suddenly.

This made him stop instantly and frown.

The smell is gone?
Xu Huo tried to go downstairs, and the smell appeared again after he went downstairs, but not upstairs.

This is the first floor. Taking a quick look around the first floor, there is no one in sight!
Got a basement?

Xu Hao searched everywhere but didn't see any basement.

Where is the other party?

Xu Hao frowned, walked out of the building, stood outside, stood on the road that had not yet been built, and looked around in front of him until he saw...
"Hey!"

He suddenly sniffed.

The next second, the whole person was stunned.

This is an extremely strong smell!
"what happened!?"

When Li Jianye saw him like this, he instantly became alert.

However, before he could ask anything, the next second, he seemed to have seen something. He paused and then a look of suspicion appeared on his face.

"what is that!?"

Xu Hao heard the sound and looked over.

Li Jianye was looking at the canteen at the construction site.

There was a swill bucket outside, and the swill bucket became a vague, motionless black shadow in the dark night.

but now.
In a trance, the泔水桶 became a little blurry.

There
There is something!

The two of them paused, and the next second, they moved lightly towards there.

The blurry black shadow gradually enlarged before my eyes.

It was a knee-high object, and the other party had knocked over a swill bucket, which spread across the ground, mixed with mud and sand.

And at this time.
The other person was sticking his butt out, lowering his head, and licking the slop on the ground with his head.

这 是
"dog?"

Li Jianye looked at the hair, his face paused slightly, and then his eyes twitched.

"Where's the dog?"

"There's no dog at the door, so how could there be a dog inside the construction site?"

There are dogs on construction sites, usually for guarding, but he has never heard of any dogs roaming freely on construction sites.

And this one in front of me.
It is indeed a dog.

only.
"Crack~"

In a trance, Li Jianye accidentally stepped on a piece of gravel.

He was just about to wave his hand to drive away the dog in front of him.

But the next second.
The other person's ears moved slightly, and then
The dog turned its head and looked.

The flashlight in Li Jianye's hand just shone on the other person's face.

In an instant, the atmosphere became tense.

Li Jianye stood there in a daze, his mind going blank.

I saw
The flashlight revealed a face.

This human face, with a smile forced out of it by nails, now looked at Li Jianye with a slightly weird smile.

This is a dog with a human face!

"Hey!"

The other party immediately rushed outward at an astonishingly fast speed.

Li Jianye was still standing there in a daze, but a hand patted him.

"Grasp!"

"damn it"

I saw Xu Hao with a gloomy face, rushing towards the other party.

He had something in his mind.

One that can be regarded as the lowest point in human history.
In addition, Sima Kong is also related to foreign countries.
Now, he was gradually able to determine what the murderer had suffered!

A dog with a human face
if so.

The deceased's death was not unjust at all!

Li Jianye came back to his senses, and the next second, he took a deep breath and rushed forward.

"Grasp!"
