There is more than one corpse in the wax museum. This was originally just a joke Qi Lin used to scare Shi Le, but Qi Lin would never have thought that it would actually come true.

The criminal investigation team immediately got busy again, and the king who was watching Ivan's residence also came back, leaving only Tian Wei alone.

"Check all the wax figures in the exhibition hall one by one, including those in other exhibition halls, and find all the corpses." Qi Lin quickly issued an order.

Xiao Wang nodded, but none of the other policemen standing on Huang Yuanliang's side moved.

"Cough cough," Huang Yuanliang looked at Xiao Wang, who was already in the investigation, coughed dryly twice, and glared at him, "Who are you listening to now?"

If it was placed before Qi Lin was suspended, all the criminal police present would have to obey his instructions, but now that he is not the captain, these criminal police who usually do not work with Qi Lin can still distinguish the boundaries.Know when to listen to whom.

Xiao Wang also quickly stopped the work in hand.He is just a humble worker. Although he is used to Qi Lin's guidance, he doesn't want to offend Huang Yuanliang.

Huang Yuanliang's narrow-mindedness is well-known in the team. He didn't want Huang Yuanliang to wear small shoes for himself because of such a trivial matter.

"Very good, let's check the exhibition hall and find all the corpses." Huang Yuanliang glanced at all the people waiting for him to give orders, nodded in satisfaction, and issued exactly the same orders as Qi Lin.

Only then did the crowd move, and everyone scattered everywhere.

Qi Lin also took advantage of the chaos and approached the king who was squatting aside to clean up the traces, and asked, "You were squatting at Ivan's house before?"

"No suspicious person was seen downstairs in their community. I think this case may have nothing to do with him. After all, he was at home when the murderer appeared here." Da Wang said.

"That's not necessarily true, these are his wax figures. The figure that appeared today may not necessarily be the murderer." After Qi Lin finished speaking, he shook his head again, "No, the one today must be the murderer. The head he just discovered was the one he ran away from. It fell from time to time. Maybe it was Ivan's accomplice, one person killed and one person dealt with it."

"If Mr. Ivan is the murderer, wouldn't it be dangerous for senior Tian Wei to stay downstairs alone with Ivan?" Shi Le who was listening on the side suddenly said.

"Don't worry, Tian Wei is better than us. She used to be a karate champion in the police academy." The king looked solemn, "Speaking of accomplices, I think it is possible. After all, Ivan confirmed the wax figures. He said that these wax figures are indeed He made it himself, but he denies the killing."

"Is it possible to drop the bag?"

"Mr. Ivan is very confident in his craftsmanship. He said that such an exquisite process could only be made by himself. And he said that he would engrave his name on the bottom of the wax figure. We checked and it was indeed there."

Qi Lin was silent for a moment, "Did you ask him about the wax figure making process?"

The king looked at Huang Yuanliang subconsciously, and took out his notebook after making sure that he was not there. "First, we need to carve out the mold, fire it, then do the external decoration, and finally engrave the name. But according to him, the molds are all made by the mold factory. , and the firing will be completed there."

"That means that Mr. Ivan is only in charge of processing," Qi Lin pondered for a while, "the corpse may have been added in when it was in the mold factory, and it was processed into a wax figure after it was transported."

Qi Lin still felt that something was wrong.

"But the two corpses are contained in the Medusa wax figure. If Mr. Ivan sculpts randomly without knowing that there is a corpse in the wax figure, isn't the probability too low?" Shi Le also found out during the active thinking of the case All kinds of questions, "After all, there are many wax figures in this museum, including Perseus, Poseidon and Athena, but the corpse is only in Medusa."

"If there are only two at present, it may indeed be a coincidence, but this must also be considered in the possibility." Qi Linlu cleared his mind.

Now, the case has differentiated into two possibilities. One is a coincidence that the murderer is someone from the mold factory, and the purpose of hiding the corpse is achieved by hiding the corpse in the mold and burning it.The second is the purpose of saying that the murderer deliberately put the corpse into the Medusa wax figure to show his perverted ideology.

In that case, the murderer might be a bag drop, or it might be Ivan himself.

Just my own words, why did he insist that these statues were all made by himself?

Suddenly, he thought of a person.Ivan mentioned during the chat before that the child beside him belongs to the assistant.

If the murderer was an assistant, then everything would make sense.It is very convenient whether it is to switch bags or trick Ivan into carving a specific sculpture.

"Have you questioned the assistants in Ivan's studio?" Qi Lin asked the king.

"I asked, I asked from the very beginning of the case," Dawang said, "He has an alibi, and he was on vacation at home during the time of the victim's death. Neighbors and children can testify for him."

"That was just the first victim, and the result of the beheading has not yet come out." Qi Lin said, "And the time of death by strangulation has yet to be studied, and there are many cases of being strangled first and then suffocated. Time has naturally moved backwards."

"Maybe." The king didn't think too deeply, and couldn't agree with Qi Lin's thoughts, so he could only do his own thing.Qi Lin saw that the king could not get any useful information, so he found the original location of the beheaded corpse.

It was at the farthest corner of the pavilion, Medusa's body twisted in pain on the ground, while her head rolled aside.

But now there is nothing left in that corner.The head had been replaced, and the body was opened by Xiao Wang, and the corpse inside was crawling and kneeling in an extremely strange posture.

Since it was beheading and death, there should be no delayed killing.

But Xiao Wang replied: "This corpse did not die because of beheading, she was strangled first and then beheaded."

After finishing speaking, he also corrected Qi Lin's previous point of view, "The last corpse did not have a delayed killing method, because the last victim's neck showed signs of fracture, it is impossible to survive, so she was directly strangled dead."

"Did you die at the scene?" The death time of the corpse in this case is too long, so that there are too many possibilities, Qi Lin can only rule them out one by one, "Has the victim's identity been investigated?"

"We are investigating, but there is no result yet. We have compared the list of disappearances within three months, and we have not found the identity of the deceased. We are now setting the range of disappearances as within the last year."

The superficial clues have been broken here, and for the rest, Qi Lin needs to figure out the murderer's motive for committing the crime.

"Medusa, female, I think the victim should have a common identity, which is related to Medusa." Shile Qilin said.

Qi Lin also thought of this, "Little San?"

"Perhaps, but before the identity is found out, it shouldn't be so arbitrarily determined." Shi Le was calculating something in his heart, "If this is the case, then the murderer will be a person with a strong sense of ritual, and he must Also someone who has been hurt by a cheater and claims to be righteous."

"Then we have to wait for the identity of the victim to come out." Qi Lin sighed, "But we don't have permission right now, it depends on Huang Yuanliang's speed."

……

Facts have proved that Huang Yuanliang is not all flaws except narrow-mindedness.At least his speed is still very fast.

Early the next morning, the identity comparison was completed, and Xiao Wang called Qi Lin early in the morning.

At that time, Shi Le was sleeping soundly, while Qi Lin was lying on the side, staying up all night, thinking about the details of the case.

"Hey," Qi Lin put on his clothes and came outside the door, and connected Xiao Wang's phone, "What did you find?"

"The identity comparison has been completed. The first victim is from Jiangcheng. She was reported missing a year ago. The second victim is an orphan. No one has reported her. We found her after comparing the information database. If she She didn’t do it in a lock-picking store, but she filed a record with the Public Security Bureau, and we couldn’t find her identity at all.”

"Then have they meddled in other people's feelings?"

Faced with this problem, Xiao Wang hesitated for a long time, "At first Huang Yuanliang also said that he would look into this aspect, but after he knew this point of view was brought up by Shi Le, he said it was not important, so we didn't plan to Visit this area."

"It's really messed up." Qi Lin still underestimated Huang Yuanliang, "Send me the addresses of the two of them, and I will visit them myself."

"Wait a minute." Xiao Wang hung up the phone and sent the message to Qi Lin not long after.

Qi Lin returned to the room and woke up Shi Le.

Shi Le turned over sleepily, her voice was lazy and wanton, "What's wrong? It's still early, I'll sleep for a while."

I can still fall asleep after such a big thing happened yesterday.

"Don't sleep, wake up, let's go play somewhere else for a day." Qi Lin patted Shile's quilt and shouted.

As soon as he heard that he was going to go out to play, Shi Le immediately got up, filled the whole bag with snacks, and followed Qi Lin out.

But after sitting in Qi Lin's broken Santana and the scenery outside the window getting darker and darker, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Didn't you go out to play? Why did you run back to the city?" Shi Le said.

"Come take a walk and check the victim's interpersonal relationship," Qi Lin looked at Shi Le's resentful face through the rearview mirror, "It can also be regarded as tourism."

"Really, I wasted a pack of snacks and candies." Shi Le sullenly peeled off many fruit candies, stuffing her cheeks bulgingly, like a little squirrel.

"The case is related. Huang Yuanliang and the others don't investigate. If we don't investigate, then this clue will be missed."

Qi Lin was running on the intercity expressway, and it didn't take long before he stopped downstairs in an old residential area.

This is the rented house of the first victim.

Qi Lin got out of the car first and opened the door for Shi Le. Shi Le jumped out of the car, but accidentally spilled the candy wrappers in his pocket.

He hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and Qi Lin also wanted to help him pick it up, but his eyes caught the reflection in the rearview mirror inadvertently.

At the corner of the tall building behind, it seemed that someone was watching him.

He turned his head quickly, but the corner was empty and there was nothing.There is only one old man sitting in a rocking chair, shaking a fan and listening to the radio, leisurely and comfortably.
