Merchant of the Underworld

"Alarm call?" Zhang Xiaoai raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, according to the comrades at the police center, the caller was a little girl. She sounded young. It could be heard from her tone that she was obviously very frightened. However, after we arrived at the scene, we contacted her on the phone many times. , but the phone was turned off," the medical examiner said.

"What's the result of the number query?" Zhang Xiaoai asked.

"The registrant of the number is Zhang Liqiang, a migrant worker from the suburbs. He died in an accident a month ago."

The reporter refused to show up, his identity could not be traced for the time being, and the clues were interrupted.

"This is already the fifth time!" After the forensic doctor reported the situation, he sighed tiredly.

I stood up from the body, winked at Zhang Xiaoai and Luo Yang, and motioned for them to follow me.

The two of them understood and followed me to another guest room.

Both of them knew my identity, and they also understood that this case was related to femininity, but they were policemen after all, so it was difficult for them to discuss such matters in front of their colleagues, and they couldn't report it to their superiors.

"Have you discovered anything new?" Zhang Xiaoai closed the door and asked eagerly.

"This case is different from the previous ones!" I said with certainty.

"It's different, what's the difference?" Luo Yang asked me very confused.

Zhang Xiaoai was also stunned and looked at me intently.

There were exactly the same question marks in their eyes.

"Have you noticed? The knife edges are completely different from the previous ones. The fractures of the previous corpses were extremely smooth, with no burrs on the bones, flesh and blood, but there is an obvious sign of pulling on the neck of this corpse. .”

"Also, the pillow the deceased slept on was also cracked. It was obviously scratched by the murder weapon. This has never happened in previous cases." I thought for a while and said.

Zhang Xiaoai thought about it and said: "That's true, but the murderer has killed five people in a row, two people in a row just this morning. Did the murderer notice something after you intervened? Why don't you wait six days? It has been six days, but you choose to attack directly? In a hurry, the knife is not as sharp as before. "

"Absolutely not." I shook my head: "That knife was used for executions in the past. Let alone killing five people, even if it costs 55,000, it will never be slow at all."

"Then you mean..." Zhang Xiaoai paused and asked, "There are two knives?"

"No!" I shook my head: "This case is man-made and has nothing to do with femininity."

"In the past few times, the victims were unaware of the moment before death and still maintained their original expressions. Even if their heads were chopped off, they could not feel any pain because their souls were wiped out at the same moment. But. The victim's expression before death was very frightened, his pupils were dilated, and he obviously felt the threat of death. Moreover, his hands were clenched tightly, as if he had grasped something tightly before death. You will let the forensic doctor examine it later. There may be some new discoveries on his fingernails.”

"Also, have you noticed the bed that no one is sleeping on? It seems that a corner of the bed has been moved. The murderer probably touched the corner of the bed and moved it back after committing the crime."

"Although the distance between the two beds is not wide enough, it is enough for an ordinary person to turn around. It can be seen that the murderer is very tall." I said.

"So, are you sure this case was man-made?" Zhang Xiaoai asked.

"Yes!" I nodded: "I just checked and there was no fluctuation of Yin Qi at the scene. It definitely has nothing to do with Yin objects."

"That's easy. Let's check the hotel and nearby cameras, and we will definitely find some clues." Zhang Xiaoai said, and was about to push the door open.

"It's useless." I shook my head: "This murderer's methods are very superb, his thoughts are extremely careful, and he will never leave any memory. He is trying his best to imitate the previous beheading cases, trying to be exactly the same... Ah, I know who did it!" Suddenly, I almost screamed.

"Who?" Zhang Xiaoai and Luo Yang couldn't help but were stunned and asked hurriedly.

"Captain Zhang, Captain Zhang!" At this moment, there was an urgent knock on the door.

Zhang Xiaoai quickly opened the door. A policeman outside was holding a phone and said: "I just received a call from 110. It was said that another murder occurred in Xicheng District. The victim was also a minor. He also revealed that he had been hacked. Break."

The three of us were shocked!

"Okay, I'll be there right away. You take charge here first. By the way, let the forensic doctor carefully examine the victim's nails!" Zhang Xiaoai gave a brief order, turned around and walked out, followed closely by Luo Yang and me.

The continuous beheading cases made Zhang Xiaoai's already frowning brows almost knit together, and her originally cute and innocent face became as gloomy as water.

"You just said you know who the murderer is?" Zhang Xiaoai turned to ask me while fastening her seat belt.

"Yes, last night, I saw a person in the Internet cafe..."

I briefly described to her the bald man I met at the small Internet cafe last night. At that time, the bald man happened to be studying the video of the murder scene. After hearing what I said, Zhang Xiaoai and Luo Yang felt that this man was extremely suspicious.

Zhang Xiaoai made a call and sent someone to check the cameras in the Internet cafe and nearby areas. At the same time, he drew a portrait based on the physical characteristics I mentioned and carefully investigated the person's identity.

The siren blared all the way to the west of the city.

The scene of the crime was an alley at the back of the street. Many people gathered at the entrance of the alley, but they were blocked by a cordon.

The body was found in a trash can in an alley. The reporter was an old lady who was picking up trash. She was obviously frightened and she is still trembling.
