Profiler 3: Crime Ends

Chapter 32 Death Puzzle

"What's missing?"

Blanco sighed and said, "In the past few days, all the forensic personnel are investigating, what traces are on Fanny's body, and why are there still missing?!"

Jiao Yang said: "Both Colton and Fanny's best friend Audrey said, Fanny is a devout Christian."

Blanco asked, "What does this represent?"

Jiao Yang raised his head and said, "The cross? Where's her cross? Don't ordinary devout Christians carry a cross with them? Why doesn't Fanny have one? Look at the strangle mark on her neck? I doubt it." On her neck,? The necklace with the cross? Was ripped away!

Blanco, listen to me, find Audrey and Colton immediately, or Fanny's parents? Ask them, what kind of necklace is Fanny wearing with her? "

The two immediately hurried out of the medical examiner's office together and came to Blanco's office.

Blanco arranged for several police officers to question the parents of Audrey, Colton and Fanny.

Audrey immediately told the police that Fanny did carry a cross with her.She had just passed her 20th birthday. Before that, her parents customized a platinum and diamond-encrusted, very exquisite cross necklace for her as a birthday present.

"That might be the case..."

Jiao Yang jumped up and said: "It sounds like this necklace is very valuable,? It was ripped off by the murderer. Colton's family conditions are not bad, and everyone knows that he took Fanny out, he didn't have to Hiding the necklace to cover up something. So, the probability is high that the murderer took the necklace.

Blanco, what kind of people do you think would show up in the back hills that are inaccessible late at night, and they are short of money, and they will take advantage of others besides seeing sex? "

Blanco pondered, "Vagabonds, drug addicts, scavengers? However, the current weather, it is still relatively cold to stay in the mountains at night. It has been raining a lot recently, and it is already spring, and there may be foragers on the mountain at any time." Eating beasts come and go..."

Jiao Yang said firmly: "So, who would take the risk of hiding on the mountain?"

"What happened?"

Blanco suddenly realized: "Dodging debt or simply a wanted criminal?!

Jiao Yang nodded and said: "I think it is very possible! Then we are like this now, you contact the school and tell them that you want the blueprint for the construction of the dormitory building in the back mountain. Look at the back of the mountain, or other nearby hills. A cave to hide in. Or an open space in the forest, which can be used to temporarily build shelters such as shacks and wooden houses.

Then, ask the various kitchens, restaurants, and small supermarkets in the school if any food or other things have been lost.As long as we can find the items left by this person and find out his DNA information, we can easily solve the case.Separate another group of colleagues to go to various second-hand trading markets and stores in the city to investigate the whereabouts of this necklace! "

Blanc nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

After adjusting the direction of the investigation, there was feedback soon.The owner of a small supermarket in the school reported that he recently lost two packs of cigarettes, as well as some instant noodles, grilled sausages, bread and other convenience foods.Moreover, it was lost in the past few days.But because the loss was not large, he thought it was troublesome, and worried that it was the students in the school. After catching them, it would create a bad impression among other students and affect the business, so he did not call the police.

Blanc immediately asked the supermarket owner to make a list of lost items, and then submitted the previous supermarket surveillance video.

An outsourcing restaurant in the school also reported that bread, chicken fried steak, beer and other things were lost.

Facing the stacks of surveillance videos, Blanco felt a little at a loss, "When will we see this?!"

"Look at the supermarket first."

Jiao Yang said with a smile: "The supermarket in the school will not have a particularly good business. There are no elderly people flocking to grab the special vegetables, and there will not be many people. And I think the murderer should deliberately cover his face and wear a hat and mask. It's better to judge."

"That's right."

Blanco said: "However, affected by the epidemic recently, the number of people wearing masks to go out has gradually increased."

"Isn't it politically correct for you to not wear a mask?"

Jiao Yang smiled and said, "Of course, I'm glad you have this correct understanding."

The school leaders hired several old teachers who had worked in universities for many years to cooperate with the police.From the piles of materials, they dug out a construction drawing at that time, but they couldn't find any place to hide people.

At this time, a worker in the school canteen reported that he went out to the toilet one night and found that someone had sneaked into the canteen warehouse, but he turned around in the warehouse and found no one. He only saw some rice and corn flour being overthrown by someone. , and fell off the shelf to the floor.

When he was about to put the rice and cornmeal back as they were, he found a bag of cornmeal with a small hole in the bag, like a bite mark, and he thought it was visited by a mouse.

Because he was afraid that the bag of cornmeal had been contaminated and could not be eaten by the students, he took it out.Then mix it with other food, make multigrain rice, and feed the stray cats and dogs outside.There is still a lot of this bag of cornmeal left, and it is with him. I don't know if it will help solve the case.

Jiao Yang feels that the reported thefts are all small things like food, and it is very likely that there are really wanted criminals hiding in the school.

Blanco brought a few police dogs, sniffed the bag of cornmeal carefully, and then searched for the rice and cornmeal in the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, several police dogs barked.

However, there are also many people coming and going in the kitchen, and it is impossible to judge whether there is really a discovery.

Jiao Yang said: "Take them to the crime scene in the back mountain and try."

After several police dogs came to the closed Houshan crime scene, they sat around the area where Fanny's body was found.

"I really found him!"

Blanco jumped up excitedly and asked the trainer to lead a few police dogs to retrieve it in the back mountain.

After waiting for a full afternoon, the police dog who was searching on another hill suddenly barked wildly.

The large group of people gathered on the top of the mountain, searched inch by inch, and finally found a low, dilapidated and very hidden cave.

As soon as two young police officers walked in, they covered their noses and backed out.

Everyone took out their masks and put them on. When they went in, they saw instant noodles, cigarette butts and other domestic garbage, as well as various human excrement. The smell was comparable to biological weapons.

Jiao Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that this is it!"

Blanco asked the accompanying police officers to collect samples of footprints in the cave, and then packed away household garbage such as cup noodles and cigarette butts.

The Forensic Office quickly retrieved the DNA tissue information of the same person on several pieces of household garbage.After the database comparison, the results come out immediately.This man is really a wanted criminal named Davis, a native of Utah. After the crime of killing his wife was revealed, he fled quickly before the police arrested him. Unexpectedly, he fled to the back mountain of their school dormitory and hid. .

The identity of the suspect was finally found, and Blanco and others were very excited. However, there is still a long way to go before finding evidence of murder and arresting the other party.

Then the police officer who was in charge of checking the surveillance video of the supermarket finally found the person suspected of stealing cigarettes and bread.The footage captured by the video surveillance is a tall white man wearing a black baseball cap and a gray mask, and a somewhat sloppy dark sweater and jeans that have been fluffed.Visual inspection of height, weight and body shape all matched the information on Davis' wanted information.

However, these can only prove that Davis has indeed appeared in the local area, and his relationship with the case is still not significant.

The key to the case now is to find the cross necklace that Fanny lost at the crime scene.

Jiao Yang spread his hands and said, "Go to those famous flea markets and try your luck."

On the fourth Sunday of March, a famous flea market in California (Long? Beach? Antique? Flea? Market).

There are all kinds of exquisite vintage items, second-hand clothing furniture, jewelry, and even wooden trunks and classic car models from the 20s.

Near noon, the people in the market gradually increased.A tall young man wearing sunglasses seemed to push open the door of a shop casually.

The shopkeeper, who was sorting out the items, nodded and greeted him, but did not follow up enthusiastically to sell.

The young man turned around and seemed to have found his target. He took off his sunglasses and pointed to a snuff bottle on the counter with pictures of ladies and beauties inside. "Is he from China?"

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and showed a shrewd face.

He looked at the guest's face and found the obvious Asian appearance of the other party, then put on a peaceful smile and said: "Yes, sir. It is said that it is from the Chinese court, do you want to take a look?"

"Okay, show it to me."

Jiao Yang clasped his hands and asked the shopkeeper to take out the snuff bottle.Jiao Yang looked at the snuff bottle for a while, and said with disdain: "This method is too rough, at most it is a product after the Republic of China. But it is rare to see something from China here, how much is it?"

The shopkeeper finally realized that the business was coming, and said with a smile, "55 dollars."

"Are you kidding me?!"

Jiao Yang frowned and said, "He's only worth $5."

The smile on the owner's face froze, and then returned to normal, "Sir, if you bargain like this, we won't be able to do business. How about $40 to show my sincerity?"

Jiao Yang folded his arms, and said nonchalantly, "10 yuan, no more, whether you sell it or not!"

The two debated for a while, and finally made a deal for 12 dollars.

Jiao Yang took out 15 dollars and nodded his chin to something on the counter, "Give it to me, no more change, how about it?"

The shop owner saw that Jiao Yang was referring to a pair of silver cross earrings, and immediately smiled and said, "Of course not, it's sterling silver, and it's still an antique!"

The two bargained again, and the shopkeeper acted reluctantly and said, "Okay, should we wrap it together, or find you a box?"

Jiao Yang said: "Put it in a box, I want to give it to my girlfriend along the way."

The shopkeeper looked at Jiao Yang, hesitant to speak.

Jiao Yang looked at the silver earrings in the box, and muttered: "Only this pair of earrings, as an Easter gift, will it be a little..."

"Of course it's too crude!"

The owner clasped his hands exaggeratedly on his chest and said, "Sir, your girlfriend won't be happy, so let's have something else!"

Jiao Yang looked at the silver earrings again, and asked, "Boss, do you have similar necklaces in your shop for me to see?"
