Latent Syndrome

Chapter 39 39. Physical Profile

The corpse at the scene had lost its lower body. As for other parts, because many days had passed since death when the corpse was found, it was severely decomposed and infested with insects. The horrific wounds on the body seemed to be the teeth marks of a giant beast, which penetrated her entire body. , in addition to this fatal injury, there are many similar network scars that have been gouged out by blades.

The deceased had been extremely cruelly abused before his death.

"Do you believe that love comes from the heart, Mr. Agent?"

The police detective in charge of the case told Colin that due to the special circumstances of the case, professionals were needed to arrest him. He had a more respectful attitude toward this senior detective sent by Shangfeng.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden? I know nothing about psychology."

Although Colin said this, he had read some related books out of interest, but they were just superficial and difficult to show.

"Actually there is nothing wrong with this statement."

"It's just that the front and back positions of the logic chain are in the wrong direction."

"If someone is good-looking, he or she will be in a good position in the crowd, just like the handsome guy on the baseball team will always fall in love with the cheerleader."

"Two contrasting looks will lead to different growth environments."

"Assume a family with normal income under the same economic conditions."

"If a child is beautiful, he will be treated gently by others, whether in school or in society. Under the influence of this concept, what he will learn is tolerance and friendship. This is undoubtedly a healthy growth environment and self-confidence. Optimism is always a valuable quality.”

"On the contrary, it's not that unattractive children will be discriminated against and isolated. Mainstream values ​​do not recommend this. But he can still feel that everything promoted in TV, books and social life is different from the actual situation, and there is suspicion and conspiracy theory. The seeds may be planted.”

"The cruel fact is that if you go around a women's prison, except for some people who are extremely short of money because of drug abuse, the rest are usually the latter."

The detective told Colin his suspicions seriously.

"That may be true, but what does it have to do with this case?"

Colin smoked a cigarette and didn't want to hear this nonsense.

"Currently, there have been a total of eleven cases involving similar crime tactics. The victims are all women, mostly models in fashion magazines."

"A key phenomenon is that if you are a model appearing in a watch or hand cream commercial, your hands will be chopped off."

“If you’re a model demonstrating the effects of a shampoo or conditioner product, you’re going to peel off your scalp.”

"Now this female corpse's main job scope is to serve as a graphic model in Amazon's online store, displaying some women's shoes or stockings."

"Investigations have shown that there is absolutely no connection between these victims and that they were committed randomly. This is a crime of pure anti-social mentality."

"At present, it can be guessed that the perpetrator is a woman with unsatisfactory appearance."

The detective said extremely calmly.

Colin was a little disdainful. If he could be a police detective at this level, then he would be fucking Sherlock Holmes.

"So you think all this is because an ugly girl is jealous of beautiful people, so she distorts her psychology to take revenge on society? What kind of bloody TV series is this?"

Although Colin is not a so-called feminist, he also thinks that this conclusion is biased. Since this case is related to the infected person, maybe as criminal psychology says, some sexually impotent men will use knives to Piercing women to achieve pleasure.

"No, you misunderstood."

"From some witnesses and surveillance cameras, it was discovered that the perpetrator was indeed a woman."

"It's just because of some special circumstances that I'm troubling you, isn't it?"

"It's amazing to say that I have been doing this for many years and this is the first time I feel scared."

"There really are ghosts and the like in this world. Every time she kills someone, her appearance and figure will change. It is extremely difficult for us to find her. We can only find some clues by guessing her original appearance to determine her true identity."

The detective explained seriously.

Colin was speechless, but if that were the case, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It would be impossible to find someone who could change her appearance at will. She could hide in the sea of ​​people at any time and at any place.

"But it's not without breakthroughs."

"I have a bold guess that this killer is collecting human body parts to change his appearance. Although each victim will be tortured before death, the parts that are amputated are different."

"She has almost all the parts, including the limbs, torso, nose and ears... It seems that only the eyes are missing. This is undoubtedly the most critical part of the human body, also known as the window to the soul."

"Maybe we don't have to look for her at all, we can just wait for her to come somewhere."

"It's just that we have to hurry up. Since no one found the body in time, this body has been dead for many days, so it is not the last crime. There should be some time left, but not much."

"But the question is...whose eyes will she want? We can't protect everyone with beautiful eyes."

The detective was lost in thought.

"If it's the most important eyes, the target shouldn't be just finding a decent person."

"I remember there was a star who was said to have the most beautiful eyes in the world. Who is it?"

The detective thought back.

"Eva..."

Colin blurted out that he had watched all Eva's movies and was one of the fans, so he naturally knew.

"Yes, that's her."

Although the detective could not be sure that the murderer would find her, she was indeed one of the most likely targets.

Considering that Hollywood is in Los Angeles, and Eva has indeed been active here recently, attending some award ceremonies, if you think about it this way, the probability is very high.

Colin's expression immediately turned grim. Even if there was only a one percent chance, he didn't want that to happen.

He immediately dialed Eva's personal number on his mobile phone, because he had called it several times and was sure it was Eva's own number, not her agent or studio.

But it took ten seconds and the call still wasn't connected.

The police detective was in awe of Colin...he was indeed a detective from the peak, and he actually had a personal relationship with a big shot like Eva.

Colin was pacing back and forth anxiously, and he smoked a quarter of his cigarette in one gulp.

Finally the call was answered.

"Eva...are you okay?"

Colin quickly asked. Although he had not had much contact with her since he asked for her contact information, Colin was still extremely concerned.

Eva herself only exchanged numbers based on friendship and her status as an investor in Colin's film.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

Then she spoke, but it was not Eva’s voice at all.

"The note she gave you is your real name, Colin, that's your name, right."

A slightly hoarse and cold female voice came from the other side.

Colin's eyelids twitched, already expecting something.

"Who are you? What did you do to her?"

Colin never expected that the detective's inference would be so correct.

"She is already dead. I dug out her eyes. They really sparkled like gems, didn't they?" The other end of the phone suddenly started laughing at the top of his lungs: "That's wonderful. If you had called her earlier, maybe you could have saved her. This life is all because of you, you killed her!"

Colin's eyes were bloodshot and he asked: "You are infected with Latent Syndrome, right? Who instructed you to do this? SCT? Why involve innocent people?"

For the first time in his life, he had the urge to kill someone.

"innocent?"

"Only in this dirty world can you justly say that those people are innocent."

"This invisible evil is so common that you choose to tolerate it."

"But...it's so beautiful, isn't it? With these eyes, when you see me in the future, you might just fall in love with me."

There was a contemptuous taunt on the other end of the phone.

Suddenly, Colin calmed down.

"do you know."

"Next."

"First, I will turn back time, and then I will appear where you are standing now, and finally kill you into pieces."

Colin said calmly.

"Haha, are you crazy? What the hell are you talking about?"

The killer didn't believe it at all.

Colin hung up the phone directly.

"This is true, Agent Colin, where is the actress? I will immediately call the police to search in that direction. Maybe we can catch the murderer."

The detective didn't expect that his guess was completely correct, but the time was just a little off. It was such a pity for such a beautiful woman.

"No."

Colin took out a pistol loaded with special ammunition from his waist and pointed it at his temple.

Eugene, who had been relaxing outside for a while, came in. After seeing Colin's actions, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Not knowing what kind of prank Colin was playing, Eugene stepped forward to stop it.

boom!

Blood splattered.

Colin's head burned with blue fire.
