Profiler 3: Crime Ends

Chapter 33 Death Puzzle

"Sir, please wait a moment!"

The shop owner hesitated for a moment, ran into the back hall, and quickly took out a square red gift box and said, "What do you think of this? Platinum and diamonds. Not to mention Easter gifts,? Even a marriage proposal is fine!"

Sitting in the monitoring room, Lu Yuanli and Kevin, through the camera on Jiao Yang's sunglasses, immediately saw the necklace that the shopkeeper took out.

Kevin said excitedly, "It's him!"

Jiao Yang asked hesitantly, "Then is he very expensive?"

"Of course..."

Before the shopkeeper could finish his sentence, Blanco rushed straight to the counter, pressed the gift box, took out his ID and said, "La Police Station, Sergeant Blanco! Tell me, your Where did the necklace come from?!"

The shopkeeper's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously turned around to run away. Seeing that Jiao Yang, who had sealed the exit of the counter, was flexing his wrist, he stopped helplessly.

The shopkeeper said tremblingly: "Officer, do you know that this matter has nothing to do with me? This is just a man who brought it to me for consignment..."

"Consignment, that's impossible."

Jiao Yang said: "You have to figure it out, the man who sold you the necklace is a wanted criminal? He killed two people and ran away. If we can't catch him, it may be that you are going to sue for killing people."

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face turned pale with fright, "I told you, I told you everything I know, please don't arrest me. I didn't do anything!"

"In addition to buying and selling stolen goods."

Blanco called two colleagues to come in, turned on the recorder, and started recording, "Tell me, who sold this necklace?"

The shop owner truthfully explained that a tall white man came to him a few days ago and sold him the necklace for $300.

According to the features mentioned by the shopkeeper, it was confirmed that it was the wanted criminal Davis.

At this point, the suspect was finally directly related to Fanny's murder.Police have again issued a statewide warrant for Davis.

Soon, a taxi driver rushed to the police station to call the police, saying that there was a man who looked like the man on the wanted warrant. He had chartered his car two days ago and went to a neighboring state.

While looking for Davis across the state, Blanco handed over the case to the CBI and asked the state of Ohio to investigate Davis' whereabouts.

Therefore, Jiao Yang can't help with the remaining work of the current case.

He went to the supermarket to collect some side dishes for hot pot, bought some seafood, and brought them to Lu Yuanli's house, preparing to eat seafood pot at night.

Lu Yuanli looked at the pile of ingredients, "The suspect hasn't been caught yet, let alone pleaded guilty. Are you ready to celebrate again?"

Jiao Yang took out the ingredients one by one from the shopping bag, and said with a smile, "I didn't join the CBI, and it's not my job to assist in cross-state investigations."

Lu Yuanli looked up to the sky and said, "Why do I feel like someone is implicating me.

"No, you think too much."

Jiao Yang smiled and said, "It's just that my grammar is not very good."

After eating, Jiao Yang washed all the tableware and was about to sit down and rest for a while.

Lu Yuanli deliberately teased him and said, "Why don't you leave? You haven't lived in the dormitory for a few days, right? If you're like this, be careful of being taken back to the dormitory."

"hold head high……"

Jiao Yang looked at the sky and said: "There is no solid evidence to prove that Elina's death has nothing to do with Pu Shengmin, and he is still detained in the detention center. I am a little scared, and I don't want to live in the dormitory alone..."

Lu Yuanli said speechlessly: "What are you afraid of? Now Park Shengmin is suspected of murder, and he was not killed in your dormitory. There is nothing to be afraid of..."

Before Lu Yuanli could finish his sentence, Jiao Yang pounced on him and blocked his mouth.

"Hmm..." Lu Yuanli faltered twice, before finally pushing him away, "What are you doing?!"

"I said Great God, but I dare not say the word death anymore!"

Jiao Yang let go of him helplessly and said, "Since I entered school, four people have died in the school. If this continues, I'm afraid I will be declared persona non grata by your school!"

Lu Yuanli rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Speaking of which, the other two cases haven't made any progress yet?"

Jiao Yang spread his hands and said, "For now, this is the case."

Lu Yuanli said: "If there are no other clues, then we can only start with the puzzle. I found a few similar cases. If you don't go back, we can study it tonight."

Jiao Yang looked at his face for a long time, but didn't see that Lu Yuanli was joking, so he could only tearfully turn "homework tutoring" into a case study...

After days of cloudy and rainy days, the sky finally cleared up.

In the afternoon, when the weather was fine, the two girls went for a walk in a wood in the school and passed a small pool.

The girl on the left turned her head inadvertently, and saw that the water in the pool was obviously red.She subconsciously looked towards the pool, and saw something floating by the pool.

She stretched out her hand and pulled the girl beside her, "Look... what is that, why is the pool red?"

The two walked over, and saw a dark clump by the pool, which was a man's hair.Under the sunlight, he could even clearly see the denim jacket the man was wearing, as well as his pale and swollen face.

"what?!"

The two girls each let out a terrified scream, turned their heads and ran away.

Blanc quickly arrived with his colleagues, and Jiao Yang and Lu Yuanyuan also came to the scene immediately.

This is a small pool in the woods, the whole thing has turned bright red, and there is a male corpse beside the pool.

The area around the pool has been cordoned off.Because the site is relatively slippery and muddy, it is easy to leave footprints and other traces.Two people doing technical screening, each holding a large box, collected footprints on the spot.

"what is this?"

Jiao Yang was wearing shoe covers, squatting on a big rock outside the pool, slipped the water in the pool with his gloved fingers, picked up a little water, twisted it with his index finger and thumb, and smelled it closely. : "This is not blood. It looks like some kind of acid dye dissolved in water. The color here is...sodium sulfonate?"

Although this place is relatively remote and there are few people passing by, the two girls who discovered the deceased were very flustered just now, and they still caused a certain degree of damage to the scene.

The technical investigators, wearing shoe covers, were almost lying on the ground, carefully digging through the weeds and wildflowers around the pool inch by inch, looking for possible footprints left by the murderer in the clay.

After finishing the work here, Edmondo directed two colleagues to move the dead out of the pool together.

The deceased had already been swollen with blisters, and looked completely unrecognizable, a mass of bluish white.

While waiting for Edmondo to examine the body, Jiao Yang walked to the side of the two silent examiners, watching their finishing work intently.

Blanco said to the older Asian police officer, "Jason, did you find anything?"

"Yes. Look here, and here."

Jason pointed to those places one by one and said, "The ground by the pool is soft, and there are obvious shoe prints left in several places. If these are left by the murderer, then we will gain a lot."

Blanco asked, "How is it?"

Jiao Yang could tell that Jason's accent was from somewhere in southern China, and he felt a sense of intimacy in his heart, so he said, "These shoe prints are about 45 yards in size, with obvious patterns and deep marks. According to these shoe prints, The man in the suit is a young man in his 30s, strong and powerful. He is between 1 and 82 meters tall and weighs about 1 kilograms."

Jason paused, then nodded gently at Jiao Yang, with some approval in his eyes.Then, he seemed to want to judge Jiao Yang's identity, and looked him up and down again, "Have you also done technical support?"

Jiao Yang looked around, except for Lu Yuan, there were only Blanco and a few of his colleagues.

His previous experience was clearly written on the admission application, and there seemed to be no need to hide it.

"No." Jiao Yang smiled and said, "But I was a criminal policeman in China."

Jason also smiled and said, "No wonder!"

Jiao Yang suddenly became serious again, "But I also feel that there is something wrong. These shoe prints seem to be too clear, as if they were left here on purpose!"

Jason said: "I think so, look here."

Facing Jiao Yang, Jason drew a circle towards the shoe print closest to them, "The heel of the shoe presses heavily on the back, and the big toe presses heavily on the front edge. There is a certain gap between the front and the front of the shoe print. The edge is about 2cm, and the inner and outer sides of the sole of the shoe print have obvious virtual pressure."

Jiao Yang nodded and said: "At the same time, in the forefoot area of ​​the foot, the heavy pressure is reflected on the inner lower end of the sole of the shoe print, and the inner arc of the heavy pressure surface is about 1cm away from the inner edge of the shoe print.

The heavy pressure in the lower metatarsal region is reflected on the anterolateral side of the shoe print, and the heavy pressure on the outer edge of the shoe print is close to the outer edge of the shoe print.

It's a poor cover-up, the typical footprint characteristic of a small foot wearing a large shoe.The real footprint of the wearer should be about 1.5 cm smaller than the shoe print. "

Blanco focused on analyzing the real meaning of the conversation between the two, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "It means that the murderer is thinner than the shoe prints show, not so tall and strong?"

Jiao Yang looked at Jason, thought about the words and said, "Probably the direction is correct, but there is still a little problem, so I find it strange. The clarity and depth of this shoe print is consistent with our analysis of the wearer just now. I feel that it is more in line. How could this be?"

Blanco has been completely overheard, "What the hell are you talking about?!"

Jason laughed and said, "Maybe the sole of this shoe is special, so the shoe print is so clear that it may cause us to misjudge it?"

"The reason for this situation..."

Jiao Yang paused and said, "Apart from the murderer's own reasons, the shoes he was wearing were heavy in weight and had particularly deep and clear patterns. These high-top thick-soled shoes with deep patterns are..."

Jiao Yang and Jason said in unison: "Hiking boots!"

Blanco looked at the two of them, frowned and said, "The murderer wants to wear big shoes to cover up his real situation, of course it's understandable, many suspects will pretend to be smart like this.

However, what is even more strange to me is that this scene, just like the back mountain in the previous case, rarely has students come, and the crime happened late at night.He has time to clean up these footprints of himself.Even if his anti-reconnaissance ability is not strong and he doesn't know how to clean it up, since we all know that we need to wear a pair of big shoes to confuse us, shouldn't people with normal thinking try to find ordinary, non-distinctive shoes to wear? ?According to what you mean, why does it seem that the murderer deliberately left a clear pattern on the sole of the shoe?It feels like a contradiction!
