Jiang Chen and the others turned the whole city upside down based on the criminal portraits. They even caught a few criminals who illegally hid guns with that profile, but they couldn't find the kidnapper who took Shen Lu away.

The case could not move forward, so it could only show that something went wrong in their previous process of solving the case. Several detectives scratched their heads for this. At this moment, one of them received an anonymous email, and this anonymous person provided them with a new Clue——The criminal who kidnapped Shen Lu was actually a woman with short hair.

Jiang Chen and the others had also considered the possibility that the kidnapper was a woman, but it was a bit difficult for them to profile this woman, and the content of the profile was not enough for them to go to the police directly to find the suspect, so this anonymous email started an accelerated process. The effect pushed them to a new direction of solving cases faster.

When they finally locked down the most suspicious suspect and finally found Shen Lu, it was already the evening of the third day that the other party disappeared.At that time, Shen Lu was imprisoned in a warehouse next to a cabin in the south of the Redwood Forest. He was sitting in a state of embarrassment by the dusty warehouse wall. .

Several detectives hurriedly called an ambulance to send him to the hospital. Jiang Chen, who was concerned about Shen Lu's health, wanted to follow him to the hospital, but had to stay at the scene to continue collecting evidence because the case had not been resolved. In the end, he could only give his phone number I left it to the nurse, and asked the nurse to call him if there was any situation.

After the ambulance left, Jiang Chen, who had been in fear for two days, finally let out a deep breath and began to focus on the woman who died in the wooden house.

The woman who was identified by the detectives as the kidnapper was lying flat in front of the sandalwood cabinet in the kitchen with her eyes closed, her hands folded on her upper abdomen in an elegant gesture. She was shot twice in the chest, one in the left lung and the other in the left lung. In the right lung, according to the preliminary forensic identification, she died of suffocation caused by a gunshot wound to the lung.

"This murderer is really ruthless!" An agent couldn't accept the bloody scene of the murder scene, and walked away from the woman resentfully. After moving to the window of the living room, he opened his mouth with a troubled face, "Suffocation is a kind of death. The law is too painful, did the murderer have some deep hatred for her and ran over to kill her to vent his anger?"

"Vicious vendettas usually choose a more straightforward killing method," another detective shook his head and denied, "In the existing cases, the murderer who chose to die by suffocation did it by accident, and many others were Sadists without empathy, they usually kill in order to enjoy the pleasure of the deceased struggling on the verge of death, and suffocation is almost the most time-consuming method of death.”

After listening to the analysis of his detectives, Jiang Chen nodded in agreement, and then pointed to the woman's body: "Pay attention to the pose the murderer posed for the deceased, with his hands folded on his abdomen, ignoring the blood around him, the deceased would look like As if asleep."

"Some murderers do this because they regard murder as an art. The more beautiful the body of the deceased, the more meaningful it is for them to kill; some because they feel regret after killing, so they want the deceased to go away peacefully. Some; others are simply obsessive-compulsive in this respect, but such murderers are relatively rare."

Seeing the detective under his command who was in charge of taking pictures go up to take a close-up of the posture of the corpse, Jiang Chen paused slightly, "If the murderer is the first type, then the person we are looking for may be someone who has dabbled in art. A lunatic without a sense of morality, if it is the second type, then the murderer is likely to be someone the deceased knew, or even someone close to her."

"Captain, I have another guess." After Jiang Chen finished his analysis, an agent interrupted, "You can see that there is no sign of breaking into the wooden house, which means that the murderer was probably let in by the deceased himself. But at this time, she also kidnapped a man and hid in the warehouse. In this case, most people would not take the risk of opening the door and letting unrelated people into the house, so I guess the murderer may not only have a close relationship with her, but also He is an accomplice in the kidnapping case, after all, it is indeed too difficult for a woman to kidnap a grown man."

"It's possible what you said." Hearing this, Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, "Sort out the clues that can be found here, and we have to wait for Sean to wake up and see if he still remembers the relevant details."

After returning to the bureau to file all the materials, Jiang Chen, who hadn't had much rest for two days, was in no hurry to go home. Instead, he asked his colleagues in the bureau to send him to the hospital to check on Shen Lu's situation.

When he arrived at the hospital, Shen Lu had already been transferred from the emergency room to the general ward of the inpatient department. The young man was lying on the bed with a pale complexion and fell into a deep sleep. The drip bag on the left side of the bed was filled with yellow nutrient solution. My heart was pulled hard.

After sitting by the bed for a while, a nurse entered the ward to measure Shen Lu's blood pressure, so Jiang Chen took the opportunity to ask Shen Lu how he was in a low voice.

"Ah, the most serious injury this little brother suffered was the wound on his head. The doctor treated him because there were signs of cracking. The more troublesome thing is that he seemed to have been injected with a large amount of anesthesia before, and later took an overdose. Sleeping pills, the effect of the drugs has made him quite weak. When he was sent to the hospital before, he couldn't sleep and couldn't rest well. We didn't dare to give him tranquilizers or sleep aids, so we had to lose him. Some nutrient solution, he seems to have fallen asleep completely half an hour ago..."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's pupils suddenly shrank.

That's right, it's an anesthetic, and with this drug, the fact that Barbra Clark can easily subdue a grown man alone can make sense.

The kidnapper was a forensic doctor who could administer medicine. Jiang Chen couldn't imagine what happened to Shen Lu during the two days of being kidnapped, so he lowered his head and held Shen Lu's hand tightly.

Before dawn the next morning, Shen Lu slowly opened his eyes. When he woke up, he felt weak and slow thinking. He stared blankly at the ceiling for several minutes before realizing that he had been sent to the hospital.

Jiang Chen was worried about Shen Lu's situation, so he didn't go home all night. After registering his identity information, he stayed in the ward and guarded Shen Lu. At this moment, he was completely awakened by Shen Lu's effort to sit up. In front of Shen Lu: "Sean, are you awake? How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"..." Only then did Shen Lu realize that Jiang Chen was lying next to him, and his mind was completely blank when he was already dizzy. It took him a while to turn his eyes, and replied quite weakly, "Hungry."

Jiang Chen, who was anxiously waiting for the young man's answer, was taken aback when he heard the words, then he laughed relievedly, got up and was about to leave the ward: "Wait for me, I'll go out and order a nutritious meal for you, and I'll be right back!"

A few minutes later, Shen Lu, who was finally full, held the empty porridge bowl and sighed contentedly.

Watching Shen Lu after eating, Jiang Chen saw that the other party was in a stable mood, rubbed the young man's head, and mentioned the kidnapping incident that the other party had just experienced not long ago: "Sean, do you still remember what happened when you were kidnapped?"

This question brought Shen Lu's thoughts back to the day when he was tied up. At that time, he thought of giving the flower giver a chance to attack his mind. Kill yourself directly, so you only need to cooperate a little when the other party attacks, and then find the opportunity to leave clues so that the police can find you, so that the flower-giver who killed Malcolm Johnson will be logical get legal sanction.

But he didn't expect that the flower-giver didn't use a gunshot wound to restrict his actions as he imagined, but used psychotropic drugs in another way.

In addition, in the initial profile he made, he subconsciously regarded the flower giver as a man who was good at using a gun, but when he was attacked, he discovered that the other party was actually a woman, which made him feel even more ominous.

After quickly going through these contents in his mind, Shen Lu's forehead, which is now severely degraded, began to twitch and hurt. Seeing this, Jiang Chen quickly reached out and patted him on the back, and urged him in a hasty tone. Said: "Don't think about it anymore, if you feel uncomfortable, let's not talk about it!"

"It's okay." Shen Lu rubbed his temples and slowly shook his head, "It was a woman who attacked me, and she should have used a gun at that time."

"Is she a woman with short hair, about 1.7 meters tall, and her clothes are more neutral?"

"It seems so," Shen Lu tried his best to recall the relevant details, but he felt a little puzzled when he heard the words, "You rescued me, so the person who attacked me should have been caught, why are you still..."

However, before the voice fell, the questioning on the road stopped abruptly. Facing Jiang Chen's suspicious eyes, he just closed his eyes and sighed: "It's nothing, you continue to talk."

"Oh," the second monk Jiang Chen was puzzled, but he didn't delve into what Shen Lu left to say, "According to what you said, the woman who kidnapped you should be Barbra Clark. As a forensic doctor, you may have seen her when you went to the forensics department..."

Shen Lu lowered his eyes and listened to the man's description of the identity of the flower-giver, and nodded obediently while remembering it seriously.

"She was dead when we arrived, she was shot twice in the lungs, so there is no way to convict her in the case of your being tied up, and now we have transferred the case of Barbra Clark being killed, according to our According to the current speculation, the person who shot her may also have something to do with your case..."

Shen Lu nodded again without saying a word.

Jiang Chen only thought that Shen Lu's sluggish appearance was so cute. He watched the young man quietly for a while, and couldn't help teasing him: "You like me, right? If you still nod, then you are my boyfriend. gone."

"..." Hearing this, Shen Lu reacted for a moment, then showed a faint smile, and said quite sincerely, "I just think it takes a little effort to think, but I'm not stupid yet."
