Metropolis: Attack, Fat House

storehouse.

On a dilapidated desk, there is a laptop.

Seven young men and women were gathered around the table, staring at a personal file on the computer.

"The deceased Qiu Shaoling, female, 28 years old, married, currently lives in Room 101, Unit 3, Building 32, Fuyun District, Huanan Road, Jinzhou District. She works as the general underwear marketing agent of Tingmei Company's local branch..."

"Before the deceased was killed, the deceased had received three text messages. The content of the text message: Qiu Shaoling, because at XX, XX, XX, when walking the dog without a leash, the pet dog bit a child, suddenly rabies, and the child died. Guilty, Seven days later, he was executed, and the executioner... the judge!"

"The same case happened thirty-seven days ago. Because the victim thought it was a spoof text message, so he didn't report to the police, which led to the brutal murder seven days later."

"There were two cases before and after the case, which can be determined as a serial homicide by text message. The killer claimed to be a'judge', and the killer used knives to dismember the victim, cut off his head, and put it on an altar table with incense candles on the altar as a memorial service. ."

"Each time the murderer kills, he will send three text messages to the deceased seven days in advance, one per day for the first three days, just like three judgments."

"After investigation, the deceased Qiu Shaoling and the first deceased Qian Shun both committed accidents that caused death to others. But both were not guilty of death, and they both paid compensation to others and passed a fair judgment by the court."

"The murderer's behavior seems obvious. He believes that the court's sentence was unfair, and his motive for the murder seemed to be asking for explanation, but he committed cruel murders and ignored the law."

"After my analysis, there are many puzzling aspects in this serial murder case, and the murderer's behavior is also somewhat contradictory."

"If the purpose of this murderer's crime is to avenge others and seek justice for some people, why does he have to do so blatantly and send text messages seven days in advance? Any criminal would seem to try to cover up clues, psychologically The status should also be to avoid the sight of the police and do not want to leave any traces. But the murderer is so bold and deliberately sent death text messages to the victim and issued a death sentence, not at all worried that the victim will report to the police, let alone that the police will ambush in advance. It seems to be showing us the police."

"If we are criminals, we should be eager to cover up all the crimes completely and prevent anyone from knowing. But this murderer did the opposite, which is obviously extremely unreasonable."

"Of course, there is another situation that may open everyone's mind."

"The two victims disappeared in the morning and were mutilated at about midnight and placed on the altar..."

"Okay, I'm done."

Xiao Yao looked at everyone around him.

But the scene has fallen into a brief atmosphere of contemplation.

Except Xiao Yao, they are all staring at the computer and analyzing the case.

"what are you doing?"

Ye Qingzhu, who had recovered, frowned and looked at Xiao Yao who raised his wrist and looked at the watch.

"calculating time."

Xiao Yao said calmly, "From the first case to the second case. The cycle of the murderer's crimes seems to be one month. I now infer that if the murderer will still commit crimes, then this time will not happen. It will happen in a month, and then will anyone receive the text message again?"

Everyone was surprised.

Everyone has just been attracted by the process of the case.

Did not notice the time period of the murderer's crime at all.

Nor did he think about the possibility of the murderer going to commit a third crime.

But Xiao Yao thought of this.

"tell me your opinion?"

Here, Ye Qingzhu is ‘familiar’ with Xiao Yao, and there is no pressure to ask.

"After receiving this case, after looking at the complete case and investigation, I found that there was an obvious mistake in my thinking, or that I was almost brought into a misunderstanding by the murderer."

Xiao Yao frowned, "It should be said that when I faced this case, there was a problem with my attitude. I mistaken it for the murderer who wanted to get justice for some people. Because I am a policeman, look. When it comes to the case, the first thing that comes to mind is what to discover, what loopholes the murderer will leave, his motivation for committing the crime, and why he did it. However, I was wrong. Obviously, although the case is here, so far , The murderer is showing us something, certain things, even sending a message to the victim in advance, and deliberately leaving seven days, so that everyone is fully prepared. From the two cases, he should be Deliberately left clues for the police to follow, telling us who and when the next crime was committed. It's like the murderer is playing an appointment killing game!"

The look of astonishment in front of everyone.

They listened to Xiao Yao's words.

In my heart, I unconsciously gave birth to the analytical feeling of identification with Xiao Yao.

Could it be that.

Is the murderer really playing a well-designed game?

"I once handled a case."

Xiao Yao said coldly, "Murderers like to kill female anchors. Every time they kill someone, they will leave a letter for the police to guess the riddle, which is similar to making an appointment to kill. It can be said that the murderer’s behavior is very mentally retarded and thinks he is A genius who wants to provoke the police. For example, this case has many similarities with that case. But the modus operandi is even more puzzling. It is like telling everyone that everything is ready, there is a plan, and there are prey. , There is time to prepare, let us all play a game of killing, are you ready? I am going to kill people, kill people in front of you. Then, if my hypothesis is successful, will you find out, There seems to be something missing in this game."

"Uh!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and their voices said: "Opponent?!"

"Yes, opponent."

Xiao Yao nodded, "A well-planned game is meaningless with just one player, because playing the game by one person is very likely to be boring. As long as there is an opponent, the two players compete with each other, hunt each other, and play. It's fun to get up!"

Listen to Xiao Yao's words.

An extremely uncomfortable feeling suddenly appeared in everyone's hearts.

Because they have heard from Xiao Yao's words.

Who is the so-called ‘rival’?

police! .
