The king of urban crime solving

Chapter 054 The Law of the Murderer

This building looks a little old. There are five floors in total, and each floor has five rooms. When Lin Chen was standing downstairs, he saw a simple house built of bricks at the back of the building.

At the door of the simple room, an old man with a hunchback was sorting out the scraps he had picked up.

Zhang Tianai took Lin Chen upstairs to the room where Qi Hongyuan lived on the third floor.

After the door was opened, a stench came out of the house.

After Zhang Tian’an smelled the smell, she frowned and said, “This is the house where your classmates live, it smells very…”

Lin Chen took a step and walked into this room. This is a small rental house. There is a chuang, a table, and a wardrobe. These are the furnishings in this room.

The quilt on chuang was messy, and the sheets were lifted. There were many crumpled cardboard boxes on chuang’s head, dust and some food residues on the ground.

Looking at the room, Lin Chen asked, “When you first came in, was this room so messy?”

Zhang Tian’an nodded and said, “It was such a mess at the time.”

Lin Chen walked to the front of the cabinet and opened the painted cabinet. The inside of the cabinet was full of musty smell, and a few yellowed shirts were thrown into it casually.

After Lin Chen turned the room around, Zhang Tianan asked, “Lin Chen, do you think your classmate is not a murderer, just because he is your classmate, do you want to… help him?”

“no.”

Lin Chen said sternly, “Let me ask you, what are the characteristics of the serial murder cases in the four bus stop booths?”

“Characteristics?” Zhang Tianan immediately said: “The murderers killed all women, and they used the same technique. After strangling them, they used fishing lines to make various weird poses on the dead body and hang it in the booth, so you can see it. Out, the murderer may have been psychopathic and cut off the scalp on the deceased’s forehead.”

“Also, the murderer is very cunning. He committed the crime four times without leaving any clues.”

“Yes, the murderer is very cunning, and he handled the scene perfectly.” Lin Chen nodded forcefully, he pointed to the room, and said, “A room where a person lives for a long time can often reflect his living habits and character.”

“A person who loves cleanliness and keeps his house in good order. He tends to be more careful in his work and rarely sloppy.”

“And a person who never likes to tidy up the room and the room is messy, he is often careless and does things casually for others.”

Zhang Tianni glanced at the room and said, “You mean to say that Qi Hongyuan should be careless and casual, not someone who can handle the crime scene perfectly?”

“This is just my speculation, and this judgment may not be accurate.”

Lin Chen looked at Zhang Tian’an and asked, “Remember when I was in the interrogation room and asked you to show him the photos of the crime scene?”

“Remember.”

“That’s the first time he’s seen those photos?”

Zhang Tianan immediately said: “I showed it to him for the first time, and other colleagues must have taken it many times after that.”

“Tell me, when Qi Hongyuan saw those photos for the first time, what was his expression and what was his reaction?” Lin Chen asked.

Zhang Tian’an recalled it for a while and said, “It seems… when he saw the photo, he turned his head away. Some were afraid to look at the photo of the crime scene, and asked us why we showed him such a scary thing.”

“Um.”

Lin Chen snorted and said, “Well, generally speaking, when someone who is not the murderer sees the photos of the murder scene, his first reaction is either to be startled, or to cover his eyes, turn his head away, or not. Dare to see it, because he has never killed anyone or seen the murder scene, so he was not prepared for that kind of terrifying photo.”

“And if you show the photo to the murderer, the murderer’s subconscious will not show this expression, because he created the murder scene, and he is fully prepared for that.”

“It’s like the last time the building fell to death. At that time, the thief who rushed out of the building, I threw him next to the body, he was so frightened that he was shaking all over, covering his face with his hands, afraid to look at the thief. With a fallen corpse, he moved his body desperately to stay away from the corpse.”

Zhang Tianai was about to speak when Lin Chen asked, “The four crime scenes have all been dealt with, haven’t they?””Yes, those bus stops are still in operation. After our police took pictures and collected evidence, we restored the bus stop pavilion.” Zhang Tianan replied.

Lin Chen rubbed his forehead: “This is a bit troublesome.”

Lin Chen asked Zhang Tianan about some other things, and then he asked about the residents in this building.

With the police uniform on Zhang Tian’an’s body, it was easy to ask the resident to understand the situation.

After asking a few households, Lin Chen learned from those households that Qi Hongyuan is sometimes normal, and sometimes he talks about it. No matter where he goes, he carries a knife on his body.

Although Qi Hongyuan is sometimes scary, he is very good, that is, he has never hurt the residents in the building.

An aunt who lived on the second floor told Lin Chen that Qi Hongyuan often didn’t go home at night.

After learning this information, Lin Chen prepared to go to the four crime scenes.

When he first came downstairs, Lin Chen saw the door of the simple room at the back, and the hunchbacked old man was carrying a heavy bag.

Seeing that he was struggling so hard, Lin Chen walked over and helped him move the bag to the back of the simple room. This old man was picking up scraps, and the back of the simple room was full of scraps he picked up.

“Thank you, young man.” The old man had a warm smile on his face, and the wrinkles on his face were crowded together.

Lin Chen said that he was fine, and immediately went to the crime scene with Zhang Tianan.

After arriving at the bus stop booth at the crime scene, there are no passengers waiting for the bus in the bus stop booth. This is the station of Baofeng Line 6, and it is also the place of death of the fourth deceased, because it is relatively close to where Qi Hongyuan lived. Come here first.

After watching here for a while, Lin Chen rushed to the next station.

After going to three sites in a row, Lin Chen and Zhang Tiannan came to the last crime scene at around 8 o’clock in the evening.

Every time Lin Chen went to a bus stop booth where the crime happened, he would observe it for a long time, and Zhang Tianan stood by the side, quietly not disturbing him.

After Lin Chen watched the last crime scene for a few minutes, he suddenly said to himself, “There are rules, this murderer did not commit crimes at will…”

When Zhang Tianai heard Lin Chen whispering to herself, she felt strange in her heart.

Are there rules? What’s the rule?

When Zhang Tian’an was about to ask questions, he suddenly saw a night bus of Baofeng Line 3 coming towards him in the distance.

Zhang Tianan was standing on the road. When he saw a car approaching, he was about to walk into the station pavilion. At the same time, he glanced at the approaching Baofeng Line 3 bus again.

At this glance, Zhang Tian’an was stunned.

I saw the Baofeng Line 3 bus with the lights on and the inside of the carriage empty. There was no driver.

The whole car that was still moving was empty…
