moon shot plan

Deng Wen nodded, turned around and took another stack of materials to send to everyone, and said: "At 12:26 p.m. Bloodstains, her husband Zhao Bo was lying on his back in a pool of blood and had been dead for a long time. The autopsy results were not much different from this case. He also died of craniocerebral injury and internal organ injury. Wrapped around a withered rose."

"If it weren't for the weird stitching marks on the body, the first characterization of this murder case was a love homicide. Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out until now. After many investigations, we found a key clue - the person who died before the death. One day I had a big quarrel with my wife Hu at home. At around 12:25 pm on Christmas Day on December 11, my neighbor heard arguing and beating from the next door. The word 'divorce'..."

"According to his neighbor's confession, the content of the quarrel between the two that night seemed to be around 'little three' and 'derailment'. Later, the deceased's wife, Hu, also admitted that he had quarreled with the deceased the night before, because she found that the deceased was behind her and The other woman had an affair, and even got entangled with each other on Christmas Eve, and the two had a big quarrel. According to Hu, the deceased Zhao Bo even said that he and the woman outside, 'Xiaoying', were married, but According to our investigation, Zhao Bo's legal spouse is only a certain Hu, and no one has attended the wedding or engagement banquet suspected to be between him and that woman before, and even his parents don't know that there is such a person as 'Xiaoying'."

"As for who 'Xiaoying' is, it is still unknown. The couple's colleagues and friends did not know this person, and the police have not yet found her. The most suspected person in this case is the deceased's wife Hu, Although she had a motive for the murder, she was attending a boudoir party at around 17:18 to [-]:[-] during the incident. There were more than a dozen of her friends present at the time, as evidenced by photos and surveillance. The party lasted until At nine o'clock in the evening, two friends drove her downstairs."

The investigator sitting next to her scratched her head and frowned: "But this does not rule out the possibility that she bought the murder, after all, based on the current evidence, her wife's motive for the murder should be the biggest... because the deceased did not Loyal to her, the two had a big quarrel the day before... Could that event have been planned by Hu in advance? The purpose was to create an alibi?"

Team leader Fang shook his head: "Jiang Shen, your doubts are not unreasonable, but the party that day was not called by Hu, and if she hadn't had a big fight with her husband Zhao Bo the day before, she originally didn't plan to attend Yes, it was her best friend who persuaded her to relax and dragged her to the scene. We have investigated her communication records, and there is nothing abnormal, and Hu is usually a very ordinary housewife. Any evidence can prove that she has a channel to pay for murder."

"One more thing, I don't know if this is a coincidence—" Deng Wen flipped through a few pages of the information, and pointed with her finger: "Zhao Bo is the deputy manager of a private company, and his social circle is very wide, but as far as we are concerned, According to the current investigation, more than one of his colleagues said that he is a bad person and often gets angry because of some trivial things. Many employees have already quit because they couldn't bear his temper, and he also had a record of quarreling with his boss. The old boss cherished his talent and tolerated him again and again, but the new boss couldn't stand such rude subordinates, there are rumors that he will be fired soon..."

"He also has a bad temper?" Team Leader Fang rubbed his chin: "The people around Feng Ye, the deceased in the case yesterday, commented that she had a bad temper and was difficult to get along with... This Zhao Bo is also? A coincidence..."

"In addition to this coincidence, there are other coincidences. Let's return to our focus just now—Love Killing." Jiang Shen stood up and pasted a few photos of the murder scene on the whiteboard: "The first case is Carnival The victim of the homicide case, Zhao Bo, had personally admitted that he had cheated in marriage and was unfaithful to his wife; while the victim of yesterday’s New Year’s Eve homicide case, Feng Ye, had a heated argument with her online boyfriend before her death. The trigger was her suspicion that her boyfriend was having an affair with other girls... ...These two deceased were inextricably linked with 'love'... Could this commonality be the reason why the murderer came to them?"

An Ran listened to his analysis, her brows were furrowed, Team Leader Fang turned to him: "An Ran, what do you think?

An Ran pursed her lips, and said with some doubts: "It is true that the two deceased were inseparable from 'love' during their lifetime, but...why did the murderer kill them? Assuming that the possibility of their wives and boyfriends committing the crime is ruled out, this The two cases can be regarded as serial murders...Zhao Bo is unfaithful in marriage, while Feng Ye is overly suspicious. Can these two be regarded as the same characteristic? Suppose the murderer commits the crime to 'punish' someone If so, then it is understandable for him to kill Zhao Bo, why would Feng Ye be the second one? According to the standard of 'infidelity', Feng Ye's boyfriend may still be the murderer's target."

"Then what do you mean? Did the murderer kill at random? There was no specific target?" Jiang Shen raised his eyebrows with disdain in his eyes: "Or do you think the two cases are separate? Someone killed Zhao Bo first, Then he drew a cross on his forehead, and placed roses on purpose for some unknown reason... Another person with a ulterior motive learned the layout of the crime scene, so he had an idea to imitate the murder, trying to put the blame on a hypothetical serial murderer, and then disguised as an unsolved urban case?"

"Sorry, the secrecy of the case is very good, because it involves supernatural power, it has not been exposed to the public from the beginning, in order not to cause social panic and let those cult members succeed. So, two independent supernatural forces Crime is impossible. According to the information currently available, there is no relationship between the two deceased, their social circles hardly overlap, and they have no common enemy... This means that the murder case on New Year's Eve Afterwards, the suspect will not stop."

An Ran nodded, smiled helplessly, and explained to him: "I didn't mean that, of course I also think it's a serial murder case, the murderer won't stop here, it's just... the two signatures at the scene are absolutely not Meaningless, roses may be what you call 'love', but the specific meaning is still hard to say... Love? Admiration? I haven't figured it out yet... Shall we change our thinking?"

"That blood cross...Fang, what Fang Qianqian said - the reverse cross." When An Ran mentioned the name of the "girlfriend" who inexplicably stuffed him, she got stuck, but fortunately, she quickly picked it up again. : "The reverse cross represents judgment, which means that the murderer believes that the dead are 'guilty', and he is punishing them. His method of killing is extremely cruel, and the scene is extremely bloody. It seems that he hates the dead deeply, and has no mercy and repentance... …If the murderer killed with such thoughts, then what does it mean that he dismembered the body, reassembled it with supernatural power, and 'offered' roses?"

He rubbed his temples, and as he talked, he wrapped himself in again: "Disgust and admiration... are two completely opposite emotions... If it's love killing, it's okay to say, but the murderer can't be hurt by these two people at the same time." Take it easy... Besides, there will be another murder case, and his next target will not be another person who has deeply hurt his feelings... So, what criteria does the murderer use to choose the target?"

"Come on, I've lost my train of thought. Didn't I say that the murderer may not have any direct relationship with the two deceased, maybe it was because their treatment of 'love' offended the murderer, so the murderer I just want to 'do justice for the sky', try and execute these two sinners—" Before Jiang Shen could finish speaking, An Ran interrupted him excitedly:

"Yes, what I mean is to think about religion... The murderer does not represent himself, but a certain religion, more precisely, a certain cult organization... a certain cult organization that was born after the blood moon came .Maybe their teachings promote this, and let believers judge those so-called 'guilty' people. So, let's put aside the roses and focus on the cross carved on the forehead of the dead... If we If we can find the cult organization hidden behind, we can further speculate on the target they choose and when they committed the crime, so that we can ambush them as soon as possible and bring them to justice.”

"You're not talking nonsense——" Jiang Shen just rolled his eyes and wanted to refute a few words, but Team Leader Fang reached out and stopped him: "This is also a way to crack it... If it is not someone who can provide the murderer with supernatural power This 'Blood Moon Cult', who else could it be? Follow this clue, maybe you will find something new... An Ran, I will leave this thread to you first."

An Ran nodded and accepted the task.The analysis and discussion of the case in the group just now mainly revolved around "Love Killing" and "Rose", but because he entered this dungeon as a player after all, he knew a little more than them: the name of this dungeon is "Blooded" "Cross"... In other words, to solve this serial murder case, the "cross"—that is, the bloody cross on the head of the deceased is the key. Starting from here, the clues of the case may become clearer.

Now the murderer's motive, choice of target, and time of committing the crime are unknown. The only thing he can do is to investigate as soon as possible whether the two deceased had any contact with a certain religion, or whether some cults have been more active in society recently.

Team leader Fang explained the task to him, and then asked: "An Ran, do you have any speculation about the time of the murderer's next crime?"

Although An Ran is still not sure, but now he only has this simple speculation: "Could it be that the crime was committed during a festival? Carnival, New Year's Eve... He wants to commit crimes during festivals to cause social panic. Now we have done a good job of keeping secrets. Well, the case has not been leaked, and if he wants to achieve his goal, he may commit another crime soon..."

"And the next big festival is... the Lantern Festival."
