demons lurk beside you

A gust of cold wind blew through the conference hall, and everyone suddenly felt hairy all over their bodies.Obviously the room is closed, how could there be cold wind blowing towards them?

Plum Blossom couldn't help but folded her arms.She looked at the door of the conference hall, and saw that the door was tightly closed, and it was impossible for the wind to come in from the outside.So, she lowered her head and whispered to Yang Cong: "Why is it so cold in the room? Don't you think it's cold?"

Yang Cong did feel the cold, but he was brave and never believed in ghosts and gods, so he didn't feel particularly scared, so he whispered to Meihua: "The air conditioner is turned on a little bit, that's why it's so cold, you Don't think about it."

Lin Xin saw the two of them whispering, and when she saw Mei Hua's expression, she knew that she had always been a little timid, so she chuckled lightly and said, "Mei Hua, we usually don't do bad things, and we won't be surprised if we knock on the door in the middle of the night. Nothing to be afraid of."

After hearing this, Mei Hua blushed and said, "That's not true. Sister Lin, don't you feel very cold?"

Lin Xin smiled again, turned to Officer Tang and said, "Officer Tang, it's getting late at night, can I adjust the air conditioner in the room?"

After Mei Hua heard what Lin Xin said, she raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist, and saw that it was past nine o'clock.

It's late at night, no wonder it feels so cold.

It seems that he is really overthinking.

After Officer Tang adjusted the air conditioner, he asked them, "Are you all a little tired? Why don't I ask my subordinates to make coffee for you to refresh yourself?"

"Well, that's fine, thank you Officer Tang." Lin Xin nodded to him.

Since the case was no less difficult than the other corpse dismemberment cases, the meeting tonight had to continue, and it was unknown how long it would last.

Coffee can not only refresh you, but also clear up your mind a little bit.

Not long after Officer Tang gave the order, a police officer brought them coffee.After Lin Xin thanked the police officer, she returned to where she was sitting just now and drank coffee slowly.

Officer Tang took a sip of coffee and asked, "Officer Lin, what do you think of the case? Can it be resolved quickly?"

"I don't know yet. We only have a few clues, so I don't have much confidence that we can arrest the murderer in a short time." Lin Xin said with a frown.

"So, what do you think we should do?" Officer Tang asked.

"There are still many things we have to think deeply about. We just talked about that if the two cases were committed by different murderers, and if Chen Yanling's death was related to the theft of underwear, then the two cases would be It seems that there is one thing in common, that is, both murderers are fetishists. But Officer Tang, do you think it is really such a coincidence?" Lin Xin put down her glass and turned to him and asked.

"So, Officer Lin, you mean that the two cases were really committed by the same murderer?" Officer Tang asked in a deep voice.

Lin Xin shook her head and said, "I'm not sure either. Just now we made the first assumption, that is, when the two murders were committed by two different murderers, when they committed the crime, what was in their heads? Thinking of something. Then, we got the initial conclusion that they were all fetishists, and we were able to track down the killer on that point. But what if I made a second hypothesis? Two cases They were all done by the same murderer, so will our conclusions be different again?"

"Officer Lin, why don't we make a second hypothesis now, maybe we can get more ideas and clues from it?" Officer Tang suggested to her.

Lin Xin nodded, and said, "Yes, this is what I want to discuss with you. Therefore, the few of us have to stay up late tonight."

Officer Tang smiled wryly, and said, "There's nothing I can do. As long as we can catch the murderer quickly, I don't care how much we stay up late."

After the four of them finished drinking their coffee, Lin Xin stood up from her chair again.She still walked to the whiteboard, faced everyone, and said: "The two cases we raised just now were committed by two different murderers. That is only our first hypothesis. So, what about the second hypothesis? What if The two cases were committed by the same person, what do you think?"

Lin Xin fixed her eyes on Mei Hua, and said to her, "Let's start with Mei Hua first. Mei Hua, what do you think?"

Mei Hua leaned back on the chair, lowered her head and thought seriously.After a long time, she raised her head and said to Lin Xin: "Sister Lin, if the same murderer was responsible for the two cases, then he must have been lurking in Longshi first."

When Lin Xin heard this, she clapped her hands and said, "That's a good point. Alright, what do you think, Yang Cong?"

Yang Cong looked down at the table.He thought of what Mei Hua had just said, and combined with his earlier thoughts, he raised his head and said to Lin Xin, "Sister Lin, if the murderer lurks in Long City first, then the Cai brothers are the most suspected."

"Yeah, that's really good, but although what you two said is the same as mine, it's still just a hypothesis." After Lin Xin finished speaking, she turned to look at Police Officer Tang, and asked, "So what about Officer Tang? What do you recommend?"

"Yes, the next morning, I will send someone to find the Cai brothers as a police officer of the Public Security Bureau." Officer Tang said firmly.

Lin Xin clapped her hands again, and said, "Very well, since everyone has a goal, let me explain what's in my mind."

She paused, looked around at the three people sitting under her, saw that their eyes were all looking towards her, and pretended to be listening carefully.

I don't know if this kind of vigor is caused by the caffeine, or because of Lin Xin's further development of the case.

Lin Xin put her hands behind her back and said, "The root of the matter still comes back to the big characters I wrote. That means the murderer has a motive, and that is to commit the crime for the satisfaction of sexual stimulation. It also explains why the murderer only killed her after sexually assaulting the deceased, and did not rape her body. It is because he did not have a deep hatred for the two women, but purely satisfied his own selfish desires. Therefore, no matter the case is Whether done by the same person or by different people, their motives are the same."

After Lin Xin explained the murderer's motive, she bent down and picked up a piece of cloth placed beside the whiteboard, and wiped over the large characters she had just written, erasing the red characters immediately.

The whiteboard was restored to its original appearance.

It's white and clean, leaving no traces.

She glanced at the whiteboard, turned to face the other three people again, and said, "Now, let's put the murderer's motives behind us for a while, and let me make a second hypothesis for you. If the sexual assault of Yangshi and Longshi If the crimes are all committed by the same murderer, then we will encounter doubts in time. As Mei Hua said, the murderer must have been lurking in Longshi first. That is because when we found Chen Yanling's body , she had been dead for a week, and when Peng Jingchun's body was found by us, it was only a few days ago. Therefore, the murderer must have killed Chen Yanling first, threw her body into the river in an attempt to destroy the evidence, and then ran to the Yangshi, continue to attack Peng Jingchun."

When Lin Xin said this, seeing Yang Cong hesitate to speak, she paused and asked, "Yang Cong, do you have anything to add?"

"Yes. Sister Lin, I'm curious... Chen Yanling and Peng Jingchun didn't know each other, and they didn't have any hatred with the murderer. So, why were they both killed by the murderer at the same time?"

"Well, good question." Lin Xin paused when she said this.Then, she said again: "It is very likely that the murderer had the idea of ​​seeking sexual stimulation a long time ago. Or he may have faced some sexual obstacles a long time ago, so after finding a way to solve it, The hunt for prey begins."

Lin Xin walked up to the crowd and continued: "Another point of my second hypothesis is that the murderer probably lived in Longshi for a period of time, and then met the No.1 deceased, that is, Chen Yanling. He was killed by her." Attracted, so he followed her, and even stole her underwear to satisfy his fetish behavior. Then, he later found that stealing underwear could not solve his paranoid sexual desire, so he tried to find After killing the deceased and following her for a period of time, he sexually assaulted her. He probably got satisfaction during the sexual assault, and he probably didn't. However, what is certain is that he may encounter the other party when he sexually assaulted the other party She chose to kill her after she resisted fiercely, or she was afraid of the other party reporting the crime, so she took the initiative to kill her."

"Later, the murderer came to Yangshi by a coincidence. After meeting Peng Jingchun, he also had the idea of ​​sexual assault, but this time he took a fancy to the other party's shoes, and then stimulated his fetish again. Therefore, if he has started the brutal behavior of serial murder, then we can be sure that he must have found what he has always wanted in the process of sexual assault Sexual satisfaction, therefore, I think he will commit crimes again in the future. At the same time, this also explains your question, Yang Cong. The murderer did not know the two victims, he was just attracted to these two women , coupled with the fact that they are all wearing things that he is obsessed with, that will cause him to kill them."

Lin Xin said slowly, with a cold tone in her tone.

If the murderer of the two cases belonged to the same person, then he must be looking for his next prey at this moment.

At this time, Yang Cong asked again, "But sister Lin, is it possible that the murderer has a fanatical preference for two different things at the same time, such as underwear and shoes? I saw it before. There have been cases where this type of killer has a certain fascination with only one of these things."

Lin Xin nodded and said, "I've seen such a case, and I'm suspicious of it just like you. So, what we have to do now is to contact Police Officer Wu in Shangyang City to see if he is It was found at Peng Jingchun's home."

"Okay, then let me call Officer Wu, he should still be investigating this case in the Public Security Bureau." After Officer Tang said that, he raised his mobile phone and called Officer Wu.

Not long after, Officer Wu answered the phone, and Officer Tang immediately said to him, "Brother Wu, I'm with Officer Lin now, what did you find there?"

"Haha! I was about to call you when you called. I didn't find anything important here, but my subordinates told me that the house of the deceased woman, Peng Jingchun, was well cleaned up. There are no traces of people breaking in, and the house is well-organized, it doesn't seem like something is missing."

Officer Wu's words immediately gave Lin Xin a look of understanding.

Although she didn't fully understand the murderer's psychology, it also gave her another clue to continue her pursuit.As Yang Cong mentioned just now, fetishists are only interested in one thing, and it is difficult to have the same interest in two different things at the same time.

Well, this can also explain why No. 1 dead man's high heels have no cracks at all, but No. 2 dead man's high heels have cracks. .

Just after Police Officer Tang hung up the phone, Lin Xin leisurely said, "If we draw conclusions based on the second assumption, then can I say that everything is caused by the high heels..."
