Profiler 3: Crime Ends

Chapter 41 Death Puzzle Motivation

Jiao Yang said casually: "Yes! We would like to thank Professor Jeffrey,? Professor Jones has helped us a lot."

"Actually, I'm really curious."

Catherine said: "Our professor studies history. I didn't expect that someone would come to him to investigate the case. Are you asking him about the legend of the treasure on Oak Island?"

Jiao Yang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I'm sorry Catherine, I can't disclose any details about this case to you."

Catherine looked a little embarrassed, lowered her head and said, "Ah,? I just saw the professor sorting out information about this. I don't have any other intentions. If we can't talk about this topic, forget it!"

"no!"

Jiao Yang said: "Actually, I know that the students are discussing in private, right? What are you talking about?"

Catherine hesitated for a moment, and said: "Actually, you can say anything. Some people say that there are wanted criminals in our school who kill people for robbery. Others say that the murderer is a student in the school. He is a perverted killer who specializes in killing Students who have conflicts with him. Some people say that the devil is alive, and it is best to pay homage.

The most outrageous thing is,? Some people say that our school has been cursed, which is why there have been non-stop deaths recently.It scared many students away from going out at night..."

"Wait a minute! What did you say?"

Jiao Yang grabbed her hand and said, "You mean curse?!"

Catherine looked at Jiao Yang in surprise, her face flushed quickly, "Please, can you let go first?"

"Sorry, I just thought of something..." Jiao Yang was stunned, let go of his hand hurriedly, jumped up and said, "I'm leaving first!"

Catherine looked at Jiao Yang's back in confusion, did he understand?It seems so, but I don't know how much he understands...

Jiao Yang quickly ran into Lu Yuanli's office, but Lu Yuanli was not there, and he was still eating in the special teachers' cafeteria downstairs.

Jiao Yang had the key to his office, so he opened the door and went in.Then, he called Professor Jones and said, "Professor, can you check for me, is there any curse about the treasure of Oak Island?!"

"There is no need to check this, there is."

Professor Jones said with certainty: "Besides war, treasure hunting teams are undoubtedly the most dangerous. In order to find huge wealth, they go deep into places with the worst weather and geographical conditions, and face floods, landslides, poisonous insects, beasts, and hunger. This kind of death threat, even if there is a disagreement within the team, there is infighting, or if the treasure is found, they may even kill each other.

The process of finding money pits is no exception. For more than 200 years, countless treasure hunting teams have set foot on the land of Oak Island. The earlier the conditions, the worse the conditions, and there were basically casualties.It was not until the middle and late 20th century that this situation changed.Therefore, more than 100 years ago, there was a saying that these treasures were accumulated by the Spanish pirate Kidd who killed countless people.Therefore, these treasures were cursed by the people who were killed, and every treasure hunting team had to die with no more than seven people in order to find them. "

There really is such a curse!Then the reason for the murder is...Jiao Yang said: "Professor, please wait for me, we will be there soon."

Jiao Yang hung up the phone and notified Blanco and Kevin respectively.

As soon as Lu Yuanli came up, Jiao Yang grabbed him and said, "Come on, let's go to Professor Jones again, I seem to know the murderer's motive!"

Lu Yuanli paused, "So powerful, what's the motive?"

"Of course it's great."

Jiao Yang pulled him out and said, "Otherwise, I won't even have the chance to have lunch with you publicly."

"Are you not happy about that?"

Lu Yuanli smiled and said, "You have to know that this is country M where romance between teachers and students is strictly prohibited. Teachers and students have always had separate cafeterias, and the cards they swipe are different. It's not good for me to eat in the student cafeteria all the time."

Jiao Yang looked at the sky and said: "Then you can take me to the teacher's cafeteria for dinner, and swipe your card, I don't mind!"

Lu Yuanli said: "Isn't that the same? I often take you to the teacher's cafeteria, and other professors will feel very strange."

Jiao Yang deliberately said angrily: "You just deliberately don't want others to know about us, am I so helpless?!"

The two of them had already walked to the garage. Lu Yuanli opened the car door and said, "It's not the problem, they all said it violated the school rules! Besides, wasn't someone who was going to run away from home before? How about between refusing to disclose and separating?" Is the latter more serious?"

"Of course not!"

Jiao Yang said confidently: "Is it just a formality to live together? Did I pay less public food?!"

"Okay, I'm afraid of you!"

Lu Yuanli turned around and said, "I can't afford to mess with a man who talks about 'public food' all day long."

"Of course, people who study psychology don't have to be cheap and good-looking!"

Jiao Yang glanced at him, "I don't believe that people who can't afford the public rations will still say the word 'public rations' on their lips. Such people will only keep it deeply in their hearts, so they It is easy to lead to perversion!"

Lu Yuanli couldn't help laughing, "So according to your theory, the murderer who would rather kill to get the treasure must be the most unlikely person who never mentions the treasure."

"The most unlikely person who never mentions the treasure..."

Jiao Yang muttered to himself: "I think what you said makes sense. Later we will ask the professor if there is such a person."

Jiao Yang and Lu Yuanli waited in Professor Jones' laboratory for a while before Blanco and Kevin arrived late.

Kevin wiped his sweat and said, "I'm sorry, we are late, there is really a traffic jam on the road."

"Now that everyone is here, let's start."

Professor Jones took out several folders of information and asked Catherine to connect to the projector.

Catherine adjusted the equipment, said hello to them, and was about to leave.

Blanco said casually: "Miss Catherine just stay. The murderer must be a man, you don't need to avoid suspicion!"

Catherine was startled, with a grateful expression on her face, "Okay, then I'll play the pictures for the professor."

Professor Jones introduced: "As I said before, at the end of the 18th century, a young man named Carter McGinnis first discovered the largest oak on Oak Island, which had been marked by humans. He called The other two friends started digging. When they dug to a depth of several meters, they found a plank that looked like a man-made trap. When they dug to a distance of about ten meters, they were repeatedly frustrated and did not have the equipment and funds to continue digging. , the three had to give up. However, just before leaving the island, Carter was stabbed to death because of a conflict with the local people.

Carter was the first person ever to discover the treasure on Oak Island and at the same time die for it.Since then, people have been coming to hunt for treasures, but they have found nothing and left empty-handed.

Until the 19s, a treasure hunting company called the Oak Association also came here to dig. In addition to the place where the three boys had dug before, they erected two more mine shafts.

However, after digging tens of meters, the original deep pit they dug was suddenly filled with water inexplicably.Then two other mines collapsed and a worker named McCourt Smith died when the boiler exploded.It is said that this is also the beginning of the curse of the treasure on Oak Island. The specific content of this curse is that seven people must die in one excavation before the treasure will be revealed to the world..."

"Wait a moment!"

"and many more!"

"It's him!"

Except for Lu Yuanli who was sitting motionless, the other three stood up excitedly.

"The boiler exploded?"

Jiao Yang said excitedly: "Eileen died because of the explosion. Moreover, I picked up a round steel ingot at the scene. At that time, I thought it was strange that the bomb used this shape as the shell. Now that I think about it , maybe the murderer is simulating the look of that old-fashioned boiler. It’s just because most of the households here use electricity for heating, and some use gas, unless in very remote areas, coal-fired or It’s the wood used to heat the boiler for power generation. The murderer wants to complete this curse and get the treasure!”

"So, it basically makes sense."

Kevin tried his best to calm down and said: "But according to the information, this person is a man, and the people who died unexpectedly before were all men. How did the murderer choose the victim? It's obviously not based on height and weight. Could it be age? ?!"

"No, it should be the last name."

Lu Yuanli said: "The first person to be killed because of the treasure was named Carter McGinnis. If I remember correctly, Eric's surname is McGinnis. Look here."

Lu Yuanli pointed to a corner of the album. The third victim was Edward Kaiser, who was drowned in a red puddle.Corresponding to this method of death, the full name of the No.3 victim, Chris, is none other than Chris Kaiser. "

"It should be like this, that's right! Elena's surname is Smith!"

Jiao Yang said: "According to the data, someone from the subsequent treasure hunting company discovered that the money pit they were digging led to the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe the pirates had already designed it when they buried the treasure. This tunnel will divert the water from the Atlantic Ocean. Introduce it. Therefore, these excavation companies will encounter the situation that the money pit often skyrockets overnight.

And how was this discovered?Some smart treasure hunters, after seeing that the water in the deep pit will suddenly skyrocket for no reason, in order to mark the source of the sewage in it, they deliberately poured dyes of different colors into the nearby water flow for marking.Only then was it discovered that the source of the flood in the pit was the Atlantic Ocean.

Not to mention that at that time, even now, there is no human equipment that can directly drain the water in the Atlantic Ocean.Therefore, they will never be able to dig the treasure.Someone once proposed to build a dam upstream to hold back the water from the Atlantic Ocean.But this project requires a lot of energy, perhaps because of this, the treasure-digging teams year after year all return empty-handed.

The murderer is indeed trying to recover, every accident in the treasure hunt! "

Although he finally tried to find out the murderer's motive, Blanco quickly calmed down after the initial excitement.

He couldn't help but patted the table and said: "Just because of a legendary treasure that has been dug for more than 200 years and can't be found, and I don't know how much it is worth, and I don't even know if there is any treasure, so I started killing people. What an idiot!"
