The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

At 10:30 in the evening, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came to the crime scene together.

The local police had already sent people to cordon off the scene, and they only let Yu Hanjiang enter after Yu Hanjiang showed his police officer ID.

The town belongs to the lower-level unit of Binzhou City. The criminal police at the scene heard that Yu Hanjiang, the captain of the Binzhou City Criminal Police Team, came over in person. Everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, the murder in the town would alarm the top boss.

Li Xinyang, the young police officer in charge of the investigation, immediately came up to him and said respectfully, "Captain Yu, why did you come to the scene in person?" He glanced at Xiao Lou, who smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Captain Li, I'm from Binzhou City." Xiao Lou from the Municipal Forensic Medicine Center."

The other party said politely: "So it's Professor Xiao, are you with Team Yu?"

Yu Hanjiang simply explained: "We happened to come here today to investigate the case. The deceased, Xu Kai, is related to a murder case that our city criminal police team is investigating. Xiao Li, please sort out the details of the deceased and hand over the case to me. "

Li Xinyang nodded: "Okay Yu team, you go to the scene first... This scene is a bit weird."

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou followed Li Xinyang upstairs.

After walking into the scene of the crime, the two found that Xu Kai's death scene was almost exactly the same as Lin Yiyan's.

However, Xu Kai should have been murdered when he was about to take a bath, and he had no clothes on.

He was lying in the bathtub, his eyes widened in horror, his whole body was covered with marks of being cut by knives, and ice cubes were also placed around him, but Xu Kai's room was heated, so some The ice cubes have melted.

The water from the ice cubes mixed with the blood of the deceased, and the water in the entire bathtub turned blood red. Xu Kai lay in the pool of blood, dying with regret.

This scene is really shocking.

Li Xinyang said: "We also just came to the scene, and Xu Kai's cousin Zhang Xiaoyu reported the case."

He turned his gaze to the side, and pointed to Yu Hanjiang where Zhang Xiaoyu was.

This Zhang Xiaoyu, Manager Zhang of "Whale Internet Cafe", Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou just met him this afternoon.At this moment, he was holding his head and sitting on the bed beside him shivering.After Yu Hanjiang saw him, he winked at Xiao Lou, and whispered in Xiao Lou's ear, "Do the autopsy first, I'll go to the informant to find out the situation."

Xiao Lou nodded, put on his gloves, leaned over and began to examine the corpse.

In the bloody bathtub, the corpse was soaked to the point of swelling. This time, the murderer was still meticulous after committing the crime. The blood on the surrounding walls was wiped clean, without any trace of blood splashing. All the blood flowed into the bathtub. .

Xiao Lou opened the water valve under the bathtub, drained most of the bloody water, exposed the whole body, and began to examine carefully.

Next to him, the forensic doctor in the town consciously handed him the toolbox. Some young intern policemen probably had never seen such a disgusting scene. They ran downstairs to vomit, and were glared at by Li Xinyang.

Xiao Lou said, "Give me a pair of tweezers."

The forensic doctor next to him acted as his assistant and immediately handed him the clean tweezers.

Xiao Lou took out a long hair from the bathtub and put it in a sterile sealed bag for safekeeping.Whether this long hair was left by the murderer, he still can't tell, but the evidence found at the scene must be taken back for careful examination.

The deceased was naked and no other hair was found.

The murder method was very similar to Lin Yiyan's case, the fatal wound was at the heart, but the wound was not the same as Lin Yiyan's. Xiao Lou helped the deceased's body up, looked at his back, and understood.

Like Lin Yiyan, the deadly wound of the deceased was in the heart, but Lin Yiyan's wound was pierced from the front, while Xu Kai's wound was pierced from the back, so the scar would appear to be wider on the back and narrower on the front. This sharp knife pierced Xu Kai's chest straight through.

Xiao Lou inspected the corpse carefully. Yu Hanjiang walked around the scene, came to the reporter Zhang Xiaoyu, and asked, "What time did you come to your cousin's house and found his body?"

Zhang Xiaoyu said tremblingly, "It's past ten or ten o'clock in the evening."

Yu Hanjiang asked: "Have you contacted your cousin this afternoon?"

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded: "At about six o'clock in the evening, I called him, but he didn't answer. I thought he was going to the KTV club to find his girlfriend again, so I ignored him."

Yu Hanjiang took Xu Kai's cell phone from the table next to the bathtub: "Do you know the password?"

Zhang Xiaoyu took it and unlocked it. Sure enough, there was a missed call at [-]:[-] pm. It seemed that Xu Kai was already dead at that time.

Yu Hanjiang: "Call him in the afternoon, but he didn't answer. Why did you suddenly come to him at ten o'clock in the evening?"

Zhang Xiaoyu said: "I want to borrow some money from him... Money is tight recently, and he won't answer the phone calls, so I'll come to his house to try my luck."

Yu Hanjiang asked in a deep voice: "He was already dead at that time, how did you get in?"

Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly explained: "I have the key to his house, because my brother sometimes goes out of town to discuss business. The fish and flowers raised at home are not taken care of by anyone. I live nearby, so he gave me the key. Let me take the time to look after him."

Yu Hanjiang nodded and said, "When you came in, did you see any suspicious people in the neighborhood? Or a vehicle?"

Zhang Xiaoyu thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "No, I, I walked with my head down and didn't pay attention."

When this cousin was answering the question, he didn't dare to look into Yu Hanjiang's eyes. He looked flustered and dodged his eyes from side to side, obviously guilty.He might have concealed something, but Yu Hanjiang didn't think he was directly related to the murder of Xu Kai.

After interrogating Zhang Xiaoyu, Yu Hanjiang returned to Xiao Lou and asked in a low voice, "How's the autopsy result?"

Xiao Loudao: "The fatal wound of the deceased is still in the heart. A sharp long knife directly pierced his heart. Judging from the traces of the wound, the murder weapon should be the same as the long knife that killed Lin Yiyan. The rest of the body The knife mark looks more like it was left after death."

Yu Hanjiang frowned: "That is to say, after the murderer killed him, he flogged his corpse?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "Well, it's the same as the Lin Yiyan case."

He raised the head of the corpse, carefully inspected the pupils and the spots on the body, and said, "Judging from the spots and muscle stiffness, the time of death should be about 6 hours."

Yu Hanjiang looked at the wall clock on the wall in the bedroom.

The current time is 22:35, and the time of death is about 6 hours, that is to say, the time of Xu Kai's death should be around 16:30 in the afternoon - and the time when Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou left Xu Kai's house was exactly 04:30 .

Realizing this, the two suddenly felt creepy.

In other words, as soon as the two of them left, Xu Kai was brutally killed by the murderer in the bathroom.

Yu Hanjiang took a deep breath, lowered his voice and whispered in Xiao Lou's ear: "When we were interrogating Xu Kai, it was very likely that the murderer had already sneaked into Xu Kai's residence and was ready to murder Xu Kai. However, she hid In the corner, we couldn't find it."

Xu Kai's luxurious villa has a large area, with a basement floor, the living room, dining room and garden on the first floor, the master bedroom and study on the second floor, several guest bedrooms on the third floor, and a rooftop on the fourth floor.

It is really not easy to find a person hiding in such a big villa without searching carefully.

When Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came to investigate him, because the current suspect, Qiao Xuening, was filming in the film crew of Binzhou Film City, and Qu Wanyue and other teammates were staring at her, neither of them expected that the murderer would commit another crime, and came to kill him in advance Xu Kai.Therefore, they did not conduct a detailed search of Xu Kai's residence at that time.

What's more, to search a resident's residence, a "search warrant" approved by the superior is required.

For example, Zhou Yuanyuan has a very strong motive for committing the crime, and her villa can only be searched after being identified as a criminal suspect.

Xu Kai is only an insider of Lin Yiyan's case, not a criminal suspect. Search warrants will not be granted easily, and Yu Hanjiang, even the police, cannot search people's homes casually.

Because of this, the two of them probably passed by the murderer.

If the murderer had been hiding in Xu Kai's house at that time, he might have heard Yu Hanjiang's questioning of Xu Kai.

I still remember that when the two came to Xu Kai's house, Xu Kai had just woken up, probably woken up by Yu Hanjiang's continuous doorbell. He walked directly from the bedroom to the living room, his eyes were sleepy, his hair was messed up like a bird's nest, his chin There are obvious stubble on it, and it should have not been washed at that time.

It can be imagined that after Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou left, the first thing Xu Kai did was to take a shower.

His cousin Zhang Xiaoyu once mentioned that he came home drunk last night, and it is normal for a hangover to take a bath in the bathtub to sober up.After he walked into the bathroom, he took off his nightgown and prepared to turn on the water to take a bath.Unexpectedly, at this moment, the murderer who had been hiding in the villa suddenly took out a sharp long knife and stabbed him through the heart!

Xiao Lou pointed at the corpse and said, "The difference from Lin Yiyan's case is that this time, the wound on Xu Kai's heart was stabbed from behind, and the murderer attacked him from behind, killing him with one blow."

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "After all, the murderer is likely to be a woman. If she fights head-on with a tall and strong man like Xu Kai, she may not be able to take advantage. At that time, Xu Kai took off his clothes and was about to turn on the water to take a bath. At this time, he The spirit should be more relaxed, and Xu Kai will have a hard time defending against a sneak attack from behind."

After all, no one would have thought that there was a person hiding in his bathroom!

No wonder Xu Kai's eyes were as big as copper bells, the eyeballs almost fell out.Obviously, he was about to step into the bathtub when he was stabbed from behind. He must have been extremely shocked when he saw the sharp point of the knife piercing his chest.

Captain Li Xinyang listened carefully to the conversation between the two, with a dazed expression on his face.

Yu Hanjiang suddenly looked at him and asked, "Do you have luminol with you?"

Li Xinyang immediately said: "Bring it, Xiao Qi, you go and bring it to Team Yu."

A young policeman walked over and brought the luminol and handed it to Yu Hanjiang.Yu Hanjiang turned on the equipment and carefully surveyed the scene—although the murderer had already cleaned up the blood, the luminol, which is a component of luminol, could show the blood.

Even if the bloodstains are wiped clean by the murderer, the hemoglobin in the blood will still remain. When the luminol component of luminol is sprayed on the hemoglobin, it will oxidize with active oxygen and release blue-purple fluorescence.

Yu Hanjiang sprayed a circle in the bathroom, and soon, there were a lot of traces of blue-purple fluorescent light on the walls and the floor.

Xiao Lou looked at the part with the most fluorescence, walked to this position, and said while gesturing: "Xu Kai, was stabbed in the back by the murderer, and the blood splashed on the wall. Xu Kai struggled for a while, and died soon. The killer then moved his body into a bathtub, surrounded him with ice and flogged him."

Everyone understood Xiao Lou's gesture, which was also consistent with the blood left on the scene.

Li Xinyang's back was trembling when he heard this: "This... What kind of hatred is this, if you kill him, you will freeze the person with ice cubes and flog the corpse?"

Yu Hanjiang said lightly: "The psychology of the murderer in this case has been distorted. Moreover, she is very smart and can sneak into the target's home in advance and kill the target unexpectedly. I guess, she probably learned the skill of picking locks, otherwise it is difficult to explain How did she sneak into Lin Yiyan's house and Xu Kai's house one after another."

Secretly sneak into the target's home, and then stab the target to death while the target is taking a bath...

This murderer is no less than a professional killer!
